Six local figures were recognised in the New Year’s Honours list (which we have published online). Olympian and World Champion shotputter Valerie Adams was made a Dame. Triathlete Cameron Brown, health services proponent Ranjna Patel, shareholders’ advocate Bruce Sheppard were appointed Officers of the New Zealand Order of Merit, while former hockey international Katie Glynn and table tennis champion Chunli Li were made Members of the New Zealand Order of Merit. The Times will publish a profile of each recipient and feature a short Q&A over the coming weeks.

K

atie Glynn was awarded the MNZM for her service to hockey. The 27-year-old was selected into the Blacksticks NZ women’s hockey team in 2009. She went on to collect 134 international caps and score 77 international goals, making her one of the highest female goal scorers in the history of New Zealand hockey. She spent a lot of time in East Auckland playing hockey at Lloyd Elsmore Park as a child, and now resides in Mellons Bay, where she has lived for the past year.

Q. Who was the first person you told about receiving this honour and why them?

A. The first people I told were my mum and dad. My mum was my coach for many years growing up and played a huge part in helping me achieve what I have done so far. Mum and Dad both supported me a lot over my playing years, and they continue to support me now with all of my coaching, so I wanted to share this with them.

oured and humbled to be recognised, but I do what I do because I love it, and I will continue on.

Q. How did you celebrate the announcement?

A. I was lucky enough to have all of my close friends and family with me on New Year’s Eve over at Waiheke Island when it was announced. We had a toast with some Moet and it was really special to be able to share the moment with all the people who have supported me so much throughout my career.

Q. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received and how did you follow it/take it on board?

A. If you have a dream, and you work hard enough, anything is possible. I used to spend hours in the backyard every day after school playing with my brother. I wanted to master every skill and get better and better. This continued on as I grew up – I knew where I wanted to go, and I was prepared to do whatever it took to get there.

KATIE GLYNN

Q. What does the MNZM mean to you?

A. It is a huge honour. To be recognised at this level amongst some amazing New Zealanders is something I could only dream of.

Q. Does receiving this award change anything for you; does it push you to strive for more?

A. My life has changed a bit since having to retire through injury, now my goals are to coach and inspire young kids, and help them to achieve their dreams. I am extremely hon-

Seven dope-growing houses busted

ation between the houses. So when one was in one phase, another house would be in another and it was continuous cropping,” Mr Wyllie said.

He said the six grow houses were nice residential properties – three-to-four bedroom homes that from all appearances were just stock-standard houses in quiet suburbs.

“They’re just in the middle of suburbia in a nice-looking house,” Mr Wyllie said, “keeping themselves to themselves.”

He said this would have made it hard for anyone to spot anything unusual because all neighbours would see is a very quiet house with very few comings and goings.

“Very, very hard to spot, hence they can get away with it for a number of months.”

Mr Wyllie said it was a little unusual to find that cannabis was the pure focus of the grow houses. “...there were no other drugs, no fire-

arms, no indication of gang paraphernalia found throughout the house or anything like that.

“This was their business and it was quite well run and well set-up.”

The grow house busted on December 24 also appeared to be focused solely on cannabis. No other drugs or weapons were found there by police.

A 21-year-old male previously unknown to police was arrested during that raid and was later remanded on bail when he appeared in Manukau District Court on December 26 on charges of cultivating cannabis and obstructing police.

He will appear in court again on January 18.

That grow house, like five of the six busted nine days earlier, was a rental property in a quiet, residential street.

Mr Wyllie said some of the houses had been rented out by agencies and some were rented out by the actual home-

owner. He said this comes as a warning to those renting out their properties – checks need to be done.

Following the raids on December 15, Detective Senior Sergeant Kevin Tiernan, who is in charge of that investigation, also highlighted the importance of checking rental properties.

“Clearly the landlords for these properties have never done a house inspection in the time the property has been rented and they had no idea of the illegal use that was going on,” he said.

“If it can be proved that any of the landlords did know what was happening in the houses, then police would look at taking proceeds of crime action against them and seeking the forfeiture of the houses to the Crown.”

or months they went undetected – elaborate cannabis-growing set-ups operating quietly in residential streets in south and south-east Auckland.

Then in the space of 10 days last month, seven commercial grow houses were uncovered by police, with more than 650 cannabis plants found flourishing under the roofs of nondescript suburban homes.

On December 15, six hydroponic grow houses – three in Papakura and three in East Tamaki, and allegedly all part of the same operation, were raided and more than 500 plants were seized and destroyed.

Nine days later, on Christmas Eve, a house in East Tamaki was searched by police and another 150 cannabis plants were found.

This week, police said there was still no evidence to indicate a direct link between the houses involved in the December 15 raids and the one busted on December 24, but said there were similarities between them.

Forty-five Counties Manukau Police officers and staff from the National Organised Crime Group took part in the December 15 raids, executing search warrants at four properties in Papakura and four in the East Tamaki/Golflands area.

The 518 cannabis plants were found at six of the addresses.

The houses, some of which were milliondollar-plus properties, sustained some damage as a result of the activity taking place inside them, police said.

They said each house had an “elaborate growing set-up with, on average, 60-80 plants of various age and size”.

Making a “conservative estimate”, police said that if the cannabis crops were left to grow, $1 million a year could have been be generated.

“Each house was set up with at least several thousand dollars worth of grow equipment,” Detective Hamish Wyllie told the Times this week.

“So a bit of time and investment had gone in,” he said.

Two men, aged 29 and 42, and a woman aged 29 were located in the grow houses during the raids and were arrested and charged with cultivating cannabis. All three were previously unknown to police and have since appeared in Manukau District Court. Their hearing has been adjourned to a date in March.

Five of the six grow houses were rental properties and the sixth was owned by one of the men arrested.

Mr Wyllie, who is in charge of prosecution for the case, said police are alleging that the same three people that were growing the cannabis were also creating the “finished product”, but he said police do not know who was distributing it.

Police are also alleging that the trio would’ve had to have spent a reasonable amount of their time going around and tending to the crops, he said.

“Just by looking at the plants themselves, they were having a rotational cropping situ-

Ross backs PM skipping Te Tii Marae powhiri B

otany MP Jami-Lee Ross is backing the Prime Minister’s decision to not attend the annual powhiri at Te Tii Marae on Waitangi Day. Bill English will meet iwi leaders at Waitangi on February 3, but will attend Waitangi Day celebrations in Auckland on February 6.

“I am looking forward to meeting with the leaders of the 60 iwi who comprise the Iwi Chair’s Forum, to progress a range of issues of importance to Maoridom and New Zealand,” Mr English said.

“The National-led government has formed a strong relationship with these leaders which has led to significant progress in areas including Treaty settlements,

News bites Chinese New Year Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple New Zealand will be hosting an Annual Reunion Dinner at 16 Stancombe Road, Flat Bush from 6-8pm on Saturday, January 14..

At 6pm there will be prayer followed by dinner and multicultural performances. The Reunion Dinner is traditionally held on the eve of Chinese New Year when families get together to share a meal at the family home. It is not unusual for people to travel from far and wide, for days together to be with their families for the New Year celebrations. Chinese New Year begins on January 28. This year it will be the Year of the Rooster.

Minister is not permitted to speak, the powhiri no longer has much relevance,” Mr Ross said.New Zealand is a country with a bicultural history and a multicultural future, he said.

“Maori and the Crown will always talk to each other and, I hope, keep working together well. But Waitangi Day should be about families and communities celebrating New Zealand.

“If the Prime Minister not attending Te Tii Marae means the 6pm news won’t include the annual pictures of the leader of the country being jostled and shouted at, that seems fine to me.

“Enjoy Auckland on 6 February, Bill. Many of us already do.”

Police investigate McDonald’s robbery Police are still looking into an aggravated robbery at McDonald’s on Ti Rakau Dr, Northpark in the early hours of New Year’s Eve. The robbery took place at around 3am on December 31. Police cordoned off the fast food restaurant on the day to conduct a scene examination. “At this stage there is nothing more we can say,” a police spokesperson said. There is no information as to what was taken.

Police confirmed there is no update but that the investigation is ongoing.

Boy drowns in Beachlands By-election update Police have released the name of the four-year-old boy who drowned in Beachlands on Christmas Day. Ezekiel Angelo Cullen-Alarcon was pronounced dead after being found unresponsive in a pool on Constellation Avenue.

Media reported that emergency services were called to the incident in the afternoon of December 25.

The news report said a neighbour who knows the family said he heard the siren for the local fire station sound at about 3pm.

The NZ Herald reported: “He

The number of people contesting the Botany by-election next month has grown to seven after three last-minute candidate nominations were entered on deadline day.

Nominations closed at midday on December 22.

Mark Johnson (Labour), Malcolm Page (Independent), Julie Patterson (Independent), Ailian Su (Independent), Nivedita Sharma Vij (Independent), Mike Turinsky (Practical not Political), and Kuan Cheong Yap (Independent) are all vying for the Howick Local Board, Botany subdivision, seat that was vacated by newlysworn in member Lucy Schwaner in November.

Three of the seven candidates ran in the October election. The by-election is expected to cost up to $104,000.

Voting documents will be posted to some 36,000 enrolled voters from January 26, with the ballot closing at 12pm on February 17.

arrived home soon after and saw an off-duty fire fighter from the area run into the house next door.

“He sensed something was not right so he and his son went inside as well.

The man said he saw someone trying to resuscitate a young boy.”

A rescue helicopter was also at the scene.

Detective Hamish Wyllie told the Times the family have asked for privacy during this time and do not wish to comment.

Police will be referring the matter to the coroner.

Two teens will appear in court after a police chase the wrong way on the motorway on Sunday.

“I can confirm just after 8:30pm on Sunday, a vehicle has fled from police around Pakuranga Road,” a police spokesperson told the Times.

“At one point the vehicle was going the wrong way down the motorway, as well as through some suburban streets. The offenders then dumped the vehicle, but two people were arrested shortly after.”

Two 16-year-old males are due to reappear in Manukau Youth Court on February 2.

Local lad hopes to open new path for family Mareko Ah Toon says he hopes his recent Navy graduation demonstrates a new career pathway for his family.

Ordinary Electronic Technician (OET) Ah Toon, 26, from Pakuranga, graduated as the top recruit in the Basic Common Training 16/02 intake at the Devonport Naval Base at the end of last year.

“It’s a whole new experience, seeing life from a different perspective. It’s like yesterday when I walked through that front gate.”

His family were there to congratulate their first sailor.

“They were worried about me being away, we’re a tight family.” He said everyone had done what they had always done, and he wanted something out of the norm. “I’m opening up doors for younger members, setting a new path for my family.”

He hadn’t expected to be top recruit, joking that he just “plodded along, doing my everyday thing. It’s how you present yourself, and knowing there’s always room for improvement. That’s how I work. You have to have that mindset, that there’s always a better way to do it. You can always learn from others.”

Ah Toon graduated in sight of the gates he walked through 18 weeks earlier and says the time “just breezes by”.

t was frantic knocking on their door that woke up Jojo at around 3.15am on December 22.

She was shocked to see panic-stricken neighbours at her doorstep.

The two-storey Plantation Avenue house diagonally opposite her home in a quiet subdivision of Flat Bush was engulfed in flames.

The top storey of the house was gutted, with all the windows blown out.

“Anxious neighbours were knocking on all the doors, asking people to get out of their homes. Everyone was afraid that the fire would spread to the neighbouring homes,” she says.

Within minutes, the ambulance arrived. Fire appliances rushed to the site and defused the flames that extended more than a metre from the house.

Emergency services were alerted at 3.25am. Eight appliances attended. The two-storey house was well involved when they arrived. Three of the family members died at the scene. Three were rescued.

Jojo points to the burnedout house saying 47-year-old Kailesh Thanabalasingham, owner of the home, escaped by leaping out of the window, onto the roof and across the neighbour’s fence.

Mr Thanabalasingham, an executive officer of the Refugee Council of NZ, was badly injured and burnt but he continued shouting for help. He was desperate to save his wife, his five-year-old son and his in-laws, who were visiting their daughter for the Christmas holidays.

Everyone heard a loud boom as the roof of the house caved in.

Amidst the hysteria and blare of sirens was Mr Thanabalasingham’s daughter Krishah, a shell-shocked 11-year-old, sitting on Jojo’s front yard.

The frightened girl was clinging on to her granddad.

“The young boy was whisked away in the ambulance with his dad who was badly burnt,” says one of the neighbours.

According to the neighbours, the Sri Lankan family had moved into the neighbourhood just nine months ago.

“Initially we thought it was a domestic as my dad heard loud screaming and shouting,” says a 15-year-old who lives two

houses down.

“They were talking in a native language. It was only later we realised that the house was on fire when we saw the reflection of the flames in our neighbour’s pool. What we thought was the crash of plates was actually the breaking of glass windows.”

The place has been cordoned off by the police.

While the Fire Services and police are working on finding out the cause of the fire, Phil Faidley, Fire Risk management officer, Counties Manukau Fire Area says they are continuing to review the information they collected during their investigation, aiming to determine the origin and cause of this tragic fire.

“We hope to be able to make a final determination, possibly as early as the end of this week.

It is a thorough, methodical process we go through to determine the cause of every fire attended by the NZ Fire Service, particularly where this level of loss and tragedy is experienced.

“We want to make sure we get it correct, for the sake of those directly and indirectly affected by the incident, and also to learn enough from this fire to help prevent similar tragedies happening in the future.”

On January 5, hundreds of mourners packed the chapel at the Manukau Memorial Gardens, spilling outside as friends and family gathered to remember the lives of those they lost.

The service was also attended by Race Relations

commissioner Dame Susan Devoy who said the unstinted support showed “what New Zealand was all about”.

Krishah said her mother was the ‘best baker, best woman alive and best mother’. Bareth, she said, was a ‘jolly good brother’ who she would swap for ‘no other.’

Kailesh, 47, remains in a critical condition in Middlemore Hospital. He is in an induced coma.

His daughter and his fatherin-law who are both traumatised are understood to have been in bedrooms downstairs and escaped unscathed.

■■ Outreach coordinator, Refugees as Survivors NZ Diana Swarbrick says that they worked closely with Mr Thanabalasingham over the years and wanted to set up a Givealittle page.

“We felt setting up the Givealittle page was the least we could do for him. All proceeds from this will go into a trust to be set up by barrister Deborah Manning.”

As of date they have raised $78,854. A post on the page says: “Kailesh Thanabalasingham worked tirelessly for the Refugee Council of New Zealand aiding refugees and asylum seekers in the community who were struggling.”

Lawyer, Deborah Manning, described Kailesh as a “tireless advocate for vulnerable people in New Zealand.

“Khailesh is one of those people who you can always count on,” she said.

Local Russians celebrate The local Russian community organised a fun Christmas party for Russian children last month. Held at the Salvation Army Howick, the young ones celebrated Christmas in a very traditional way. There were games, songs and gifts from Father Frost.

In October, the eighth Russian Day was celebrated with gusto at Picton Street, Howick. It was the grandest event in the calendar for the local Russians, one that was celebrated with

live music, traditional dancing and food.

Also creating a festive atmosphere was the Rices Mall which was decorated with a Russian theme.

Every year the Salvation Army collaborates with members of the local Russian Christian Centre God’s Stream for the event.

As part of the Salvation Army’s support for overseas projects, all proceeds from the Salvation Army Family Store in Rices Mall

on Russian Day, goes to a Far East Christian School in Russia which the local Russian Church group has been supporting for 10 years.

Christian schools in Russia do not have government support.

Next event to be held by Christian Centre God’s Steam is Women’s meetings starting February 17 (every third Wednesday a month).

Operatunity brings the waltz to town Professional Kiwi touring company Operatunity brings its celebration of the wonderful waltz to Botany this month

I

t’s the first concert of 2017, and Operatunity are stepping into the New Year with a set to impress.

Held at St Columba Presbyterian Church in Botany on January 18, ‘Waltz of My Heart’ will feature Viennese classics, modern waltzes and a variety of well-known melodies by composers such as Strauss, Lehar, Romberg and Novello.

Renowned pianist Paul Carnegie-Jones will be providing the accompaniment for the Andre Rieu-style concert, and guests have also been guaranteed a dose of concert madness – from men in tutus to Elvis impersonations.

Violinist Jessica Hindin stars alongside fiancé Bonaventure Allan-Moetaua, having returned home to New Zealand following almost six years of extensive touring.

She’s made television appearances in Great Britain, Europe, USA and China, performed alongside famous entertainers including Harry Connick Jr, Elaine Page and Hayley Westenra, and per-

formed with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra.

The pair met through Operatunity, fell in love while on tour two years ago and got engaged on a recent Operatunity Travel trip to Hawaii.

Founder and owner Susan Boland says she expects concertgoers will “delight in seeing romance in the air” as the pair perform together.

Operatunity performs more than 200 concerts every year

without any government funding or outside sponsorship and is New Zealand’s busiest performance company.

‘Waltz of My Heart’ takes place at 11am on Wednesday, January 18 at St Columba Presbyterian Church, 480 Ti Rakau Drive, Botany.

Imageries brushed by the wind It was not only the magnificent landscapes and the wildlife but the art work of examining the effects of the wind that left him awestruck, said international photographer Kim Teoh at the opening of the Imageries Brushed by the Wind.

The opening of the photo exhibition on January 1 at the Fo Guang Shan

Temple featured many notable guests including Howick Local Board members Adele White and Peter Young, strategic advisor Race Relations New Zealand Human Rights Commission Rakesh Naidoo, Indian Newslink editor Venkat Raman, other local dignitaries, temple volunteers and photography

enthusiasts. “I didn’t want to just restrict myself to portraits of animals,” said Mr Teoh. “As I started shooting, I allowed myself to be lead by the imageries created by the wind.”

The exhibition is open to all for the next three months and then will move to the Fo Guang Shan Temple in Tokyo.

Jim, a good bloke

Re ‘Farewell to a special educator, who has left his mark on Macleans’ (Times, December 19).

Jim (Lonergan) will be really missed by (Macleans College) staff.

He cared about people, connected with them personally and took the time to talk and listen. He was the go-to person when you needed to go to a funeral or some other disaster happened.

He preferred to see you and not send emails. I am quite sure he will do an outstanding job at College Sport.

I am extremely annoyed that Lucy Schwaner, (wife of JamiLee Ross, Botany MP) has, after being democratically elected to the Howick Community Board resigned.

It would appear that she resigned because she opposed the democratic election of David Collings as chairman.

As a result we will now have an expensive by-election (expected to cost up to $104,000) to appoint someone to replace her. This money should be spent on more worthwhile projects.

If she was unhappy about the way the board was being run she should either have not put herself forward or stayed on to change things from within, not just stand and then resign Was she subjected to bullying (as mentioned in the paper) or did she just throw her toys out of the cot?

his latest epistle (Monday, December 19), to go unchallenged.

How can he claim that “God’s” word is “crystal clear” in condemning homosexuality, and at the same time, claim that homosexuals “are loved of God”?

This defies any kind of logic and is a total contradiction.

Homosexuals are homosexuals!

As I see it, the only conceivable reason for expressing such ignorance and prejudice to the newspaper is in the hope of getting a few more brownie points at the pearly gates!

Alas, I suspect disappointment awaits!

I’m sorry to burst your bubble, Mr George, but all the gay people I know are certainly more “normal” than you appear to be!

I suggest that it is time Mr George ditched his 2000 year old operating manual, and dragged himself into the 21st century.

Traffic was chaotic. The traffic lights were more of a suggestion than anything else.

Yet there were no car crashes on the busy crossroads of cities in Taiwan, says Elim Christian College student Andrew Scott with disbelief.

Having just returned from a school mission trip to the cities of Taipei, Taitung, Ping Dong, Kaottsiung, Heng Chun, Chia Yi and Nantou cities in Taiwan along with six other students and teachers Karen Lin and Amos Ling, he is still jetlagged. But his enthusiasm is not dimmed. “Having studied Mandarin language for the last two and a half years, I was always fascinated by the Taiwanese culture. So when I heard that our Head of Department of Music and Mandarin, Karen Lin had organised a mission trip to Taiwan, I was really excited about it,” he says.

Andrew has haemophilia, a rare disorder in which the blood does not clot normally.

He has to be self injected every day to help with the

clotting factor. However, the bleeding disorder didn’t stop him from venturing out on a holiday for the first time without his family.

“It was a test of my independence,” he says. “The trip taught me to be more responsible and look after myself.”

Another student of the Mandarin language, Isaac MacKenzie says he enjoyed having an opportunity to run a couple of classes at the National Taitung Girls Senior High School.

“We taught a class on NZ slang like jandals, Kiwi, Hi bro, feeling naked,” says the Year 11 student.

What also impacted him was the respect they have for elders and teachers, he says.

The generosity of spirit and the warmth they exuded touched the students the most. While the cuisine occasionally challenged Andrew’s taste buds, he says he was very impressed when the Governor of Taitung invited them for lunch and paid for it.

The idea behind the trip was to trace the Maori and Taiwanese lineage and know more about the Austronesian cultures, meeting the indigenous people from the Amis tribe, known to have a genetic link with Maori.

TEACHING STYLE: My first goal is to help the students understand what is going on in class so that they can take an interest in it and not feel embarrassed. This usually involves giving them some background in the fundamentals of the topic and setting homework so that they gain confidence and don’t forget how to do it by the next week. If they are ok with what is happening in class I can then cover any other topics which they had trouble with previously.

Once all that is done we can start looking at exam papers and learning some exam techniques.

I use the “Socratic” method of teaching wherein I mostly keep asking questions until the light dawns. (I love that moment when a smile slowly spreads across their face and I know that they have got it.) When students feel that they are working something out for themselves it keeps them more involved and they remember it for longer. If we think of the mind as a muscle, it also strengthens that muscle for when it is needed in exams, effectively increasing their IQ. Hence the comment of one of my students that: “Mr Porter explains things well and makes it fun!”

Goddard takes NZ Singles title F

ormer Howick College student Selina Goddard has won the Women’s Singles title at the National Open Bowls Championships with a 21-9 victory over former Auckland player Reen Stratford.

Goddard, who plays for Carlton-Cornwall in Epsom, collected her second career national title with a win in the women’s singles in New Plymouth on Sunday. She easily beat Stratford 21-9 to take the NZ National Singles title, automatically gaining entry into the World Singles Champion of Champions.

Goddard represented the Blackjacks at the 2012 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and this latest title could see her back in favour again for the national side.

Her first national win was the National Fours in 2014 with teammates Mandy Boyd, Amy Mcilroy and Gemma Watts.

“It’s such an exciting feeling (winning the singles

title) that I don’t think will sink in any time soon, “ Goddard, 22, told the Times.

“To be the NZ National Singles champion and also get a ticket in the World Champion of Champions is a dream.”

The World Singles Champ of Champs is in NSW, Australia from October 30 until November 5 Goddard only entered in the national singles this year.

She said the final was played in fairly tricky outdoor conditions as most of the tournament was played in quite gusty winds.

“In regards to the score of the final, in my head playing that game it almost didn’t matter if my margin was eight shots in front or only one shot in front,” she said.

“Reen is a top bowler and, with bowls, you’ve never secured the win until you reach the final number 21.

“I was enjoying the greens in Taranaki and I was feel-

ing good about where I am as a player as I was able to fit in a lot of prep and training over the winter/ spring period so to get the result I did, it’s just such a rewarding feeling.”

Goddard is now in her eighth year of playing bowls. For three years she lived on the Gold Coast in Australia and played at the club which is now the host club for the 2018 Commonwealth Games - Broadbeach.

She arrived back in Auckland last December so this was her first playing season back in Auckland since returning to NZ. The next major event coming up is the New Zealand Open in Auckland from February 14 - 22 which will see Goddard playing in the triples, pairs and sin-
