hree people, two of them juveniles, have been arrested and charged with a string of aggravated robberies at service stations in Pakuranga last month.

Four service stations – three of them on Pakuranga Road and one on Reeves Road – were robbed within four days of each other in December.

Three stolen cars were used in the aggravated robberies and were taken from Howick and Half Moon Bay and were later dumped in Bucklands Beach and Mellons Bay at similar locations in close proximity to each other.

All the offences occurred in the early hours of the morning at 24 hour service stations – BP on Pakuranga Road (December 5), Caltex on Pakuranga Road (December 6), Gull on Reeves Road (December 8), and Z Energy on Pakuranga Road (December 8).

Cigarettes and cash were targeted. Following an investigation by the Counties Manukau Police Major Crime Team, suspects were identified and three search warrants were executed on December 19 in Bucklands Beach and Manurewa, Detective Sergeant Rob Hunkin told the Times.

Three people were arrested and were later charged with all four aggravated robberies and in relation to three stolen vehicles used in the robberies, he said.

Two of the offenders are juveniles and the third is a 19-yearold male from Bucklands Beach.

Two of them have been remanded in custody and one was released subject to bail conditions.

Meanwhile, two other people were arrested and charged over unrelated offending detected during the police investigation.

TIMES APPEAL has repeatedly heeded the call to help us. Even if you have already contributed, and are able to, please spare just a little more to help.

Remember the High Court case

is just the beginning of our fight, all the High Court judge has to decide is whether the Independent Hearings Panel justly declared the area opposite Stockade Hill suitable for multi-storey apartments or not.

The judge does not have to take the views into consideration. If we win, we will only then be permitted to take our case to the Environment Court where the real issues can be argued. This will require considerably more funds.

The battle is by no means over!

The troubled upmarket supermarket brand Nosh – which has a store in Pakuranga – has been given a little leeway by its bank involving the sale of the business or winding the business down.

NZX-listed Veritas Investments, which owns Nosh Group, this week announced ANZ had agreed to extend delivery of a proposal until January 31.

Over the Christmas / New Year period, Veritas received a number of approaches from potential purchasers of Nosh. Veritas said its board is currently in discussions with several parties in relation to a

potential sale of Nosh.

The company announced in September that it had entered into an arrangement with ANZ in relation to the group’s banking facilities, the terms of which have since been formalised by the group’s entry into a revised facility in October.

The revised bank facility agreement contains a number of undertakings and milestones for Veritas.

“As previously disclosed, Veritas has been undertaking a number of initiatives to improve Nosh’s sales and profitability and embarked upon a strategy to franchise the six stores that are currently under company ownership,” Veritas chairman

Tim Cook said in a statement to the NZX last month.

“This was one of a number of options that the board has investigated in connection with the future of Nosh and one that attracted a strong level of response and interest from potential franchisees.”

Veritas, which also owns the Mad Butcher franchisor business, was initially required under the revised facility to deliver by January 15 either an unconditional contract for the sale of Nosh or a proposal to close and wind down Nosh.

The group is also required to close and wind down Nosh by March 31 if it can’t be sold by that date.

Mr Cook told the Times there

was no update and confirmed all eight stores are up for sale.

Six of the stores including the Pakuranga Road store are wholly owned by Veritas while the other two are franchised.

“We are dealing with several buyers who are interested in buying all stores as a whole,” Mr Cook said.

There is an issue with one of the stores though.

“The franchisee of the Nosh Constellation Drive store has indicated its intention to operate independently of the Nosh brand, and has purported to terminate its franchise agreement,” Mr Cook said.

“Veritas does not accept that termination, and the parties are in dispute over the matter.”

Cause of fatal fire remains a mystery

By Farida Master

T

he cause of the blaze which killed three family members in their home three days before Christmas is indeterminable, investigators say.

The investigating Fire Risk Management officer Phil Faidley says the cause of the fire “cannot be conclusively determined.”

The fatal fire gutted the twostorey house in Plantation Ave, Flat Bush. There were three survivors. The house was engulfed in flames in the early hours of the

morning on December 22 forcing the owner of the property Kailesh Thanabalasingham to leap out of the top floor window, onto the roof and across the neighbour’s fence.

Dr Arif Saeid, community services manager, Refugees as Survivors-New Zealand, who works with Mr Thanabalasingham, put to rest speculation that there was not a functional smoke alarm in the house. “Kailesh’s 11-year-old daughter Krishah, who escaped unhurt, told her aunt that she woke up from her sleep on that

fateful morning because she heard the smoke alarm,” says Mr Saeid, saddened by the tragic course of events.

“Both she and her grandfather were sleeping on the ground floor bedroom which is why they could run out of the door,” he reasons.

Mr Saeid, who has been associated with the Refugees as Survivors-NZ for 17 years, says Mr Thanabalasingham was available 24/7 for any refugee who needed assistance.

“Even if it someone contacted him on the weekend, he wouldn’t

think twice about helping them out. And it wasn’t only Sri Lankans, he was there for refugees of all nationalities,” he says.

According to Mr Saeid, Mr Thanabalasingham’s dad has returned to Canada along with his relatives who flew in from Canada for the funeral service on January 5. Hundreds of mourners packed the chapel at the Manukau Memorial Gardens, with many spilling outside.

“But Kailesh’s two sisters have stayed back to look after their brother who is still in an induced

coma and his daughter,” he says.

“There’s been a lot of smoke inhalation which has affected Kailesh’s lungs. He only opened his eyes once since he has been admitted but couldn’t talk because of the tubes.

“We are not aware if he knows he has lost his five-year-old son, wife and his mother-in-law in the tragedy.”

Five-year-old Bareth Kaileshan, his mother Bhamini Theiventhiran, 39, and grandmother Umadhevi Theiventhiran, 66, all died in the fire.

Did council arborists cut a tree down as act of retribution?

By Farida Master Council workers who were asked to prune a tree instead cut it down after an apparent “cheeky” exchange with a concerned resident.

It prompted the resident Graham Pilgrim to contact the Howick Local Board.

A strongly worded letter addressed to Local Board members from Mr Pilgrim, president of the East Park Resident’s Association, Golflands, got Peter Young, the newly elected board member of the Botany subdivision, wanting to nip the problem in the bud.

The very next day Mr Young knocked on Mr Pilgrim’s door.

Mr Pilgrim was livid that a cherry blossom tree in full bloom standing outside his home in East Park had been chopped down.

Talking to the Times Mr Pilgrim narrates the sequence of events.

“It was a wet October afternoon that I spotted the council arborists pruning trees around the East Park area.”

Later in the day Mr Pilgrim approached the arborists and asked them to prune the cherry blossom tree outside his home, “that had some deadwood on the top”.

“And seeing that they were parked on the yellow line, I may have cheekily pointed it out to them,” he said.

In response to the pruning request Mr Pilgrim was told that the tree will be pruned “in accordance with council’s specifications”.

“I was being a little flippant and said ‘so is the mayor going to come and check the specifications?’ ” In hindsight he admits: “I may have incited it. It may be retribution.”

“Within minutes of our conversation they were outside my home pruning branches and before I realised what had

gone: Graham Pilgrim’s photo shows where the Cherry Blossom tree used to be.

Photo supplied

happened, they had chopped off the entire tree,” he said.

“I was absolutely flabbergasted. I couldn’t believe what they had just done that considering the lower branches appeared healthy, and in full bloom,” he says.

On realising how upset Mr Pilgrim was, Mr Young thought the best way to solve the problem would be to gift him a

new cherry blossom tree.

“Coincidentally, I had bought seven cherry blossom trees for my garden, and had a spare one,” says Mr Young.

“I suggested the idea at the Howick Local Board meeting so that we can quickly resolve the problem and move on.

“Given the current situation, Graham has to wait for a year (until next season’s planting)

and the tree which would cost $30 would probably cost the council $300.”

Mr Pilgrim responded: “While I do appreciate Mr Young dropping in to find out how he can help, we have to follow council procedure and wait for one more year. ” Ross Webster, acting team leader operational management and maintenance at Auckland Council told Mr Pilgrim in a letter that the tree in question was assessed by a contracted arborist and found to be in “serious decline and partially dead”.

“As you said in your email, the top branches were dead which is a very bad sign in any tree. The amount of bloom on the tree would have been in direct response to the stress it was under,” Mr Webster said.

“Unfortunately in these cases it is best to remove the tree completely. In most circumstances trees that are removed will be replaced.”

wanted to know.

It was on the morning of December 22, the last day for filing in nominations, that she registered her interest.

“I am a fixer. A doer,” she says. “I am straight up, honest and someone who likes to ask the hard questions. There are lot of things that need looking into and need answers.

“Like the little, wriggly road from Chapel Road, (near St Paul’s in the Park Church) that narrows down drastically as it leads to the busy Ormiston Road. There have been a lot of accidents in the past.

Why is nothing being done about it?” she questions.

“Or all those cars parked just outside Bruce McLaren Retirement Village that cause traffic congestion. Most of the cars parked on the busy road belong to the residents of the retirement village so why was no parking space allocated in the premises when it was built?”

While Mrs Patterson is quite green when it comes to local politics, she is confident that she has a mentor in good friend, Auckland councillor Sharon Stewart.

“Though I only informed Sharon after I had filed my nomination, she has been very supportive and has been advising me.

“She’s my master and I’m the apprentice.

“Even now whilst I am talking to the Times Sharon is helping me deliver the flyers in people’s mailboxes. She’s been around forever in local politics and has a very good idea of how things work.”

rapport: Julie Patterson, candidate for the Botany by-election says she is a fixer and likes asking the hard questions.

Master and the apprentice

By Farida Master It didn’t take long for one of Julie Patterson’s election signs to be ripped off.

“But it’s ok, I am told these things happen,” she says lightly, shrugging it off.

Mrs Patterson is fighting for a seat on the Howick Local Board, Botany subdivision in the forthcoming by-election.

She has a sense of humour, enjoys a good chat...and scones with jam and cream, says her pink campaign publicity flyer which her father described as “too pink”, she admits.

Everyone deserves a good chuckle, believes the feisty ex-cop who has been door-knocking and doing the rounds, including standing outside Pak’nSave Botany, reaching out to people in the electorate.

“People think you want to sell them something and want money out of them,” laughs the 54-year-old. “They look at you suspiciously or try to avoid you when you introduce yourself.”

But the former cop is an old hand at building rapport with strangers. Around 26 years in the police service had taught her well in terms of connecting with people.

“I’ve been a jack of all trades—having been in the transport enforcement unit, specialising in traffic flow, conflict, crashes, commercial vehicles, and design and layout of roads, to name a few,” she says.

This sharp-shooter who has been exceptionally good at handling firearms, has worked with a vast representation of society which includes the Ministry of Forest and Agriculture (MAF) as well as truck drivers, drug dealers, drunk party revellers, school children and those involved in family violence.

Talking about what drove her to contest the Botany by-election, she says the trigger was reading the newspaper announcing that there were just three guys—Mike Turinsky, Mark Johnson and Malcolm Page—contesting the seat left vacant after newly sworn-in member Lucy Schwaner resigned.

‘Where is the female candidate?’ she

ideas: A registered nurse by profession, Ailian Su says she has worked with people of different cultures.

Serving diverse communities living in Botany

By Farida Master On the afternoon of December 21 when Ailian Su filed her nomination papers for the Howick Local Board Botany byelections, she thought she was the only woman standing.

“I checked the council website and there were only three men contesting the by-elections,” she says.

Which is why she was surprised when

Botany

by-election 2017

Campaign

she later learnt that two other women were also in the running for the hot seat.

A registered nurse with Highland Park surgery for more than 10 years, she believes that women tend to communicate better, are more caring, bring an element of balance and negotiate well if there is a problem.

Ailian in Mandarin means a lotus opening with the rays of the morning sun, she says.

And living up to her name, she has gently touched lives of migrants over the last 20 years.

As a Justice of Peace and a nurse, she has worked with many different cultures ,she says.

“I have often had conversations with people who visit the surgery on how we can better the transport system and other social issues, and a lot of them have liked my ideas and suggested that I should discuss them on a larger platform.”

Mrs Su is familiar with broadcasting on the local Chinese radio as she has often been invited to talk to new migrants about many topics including the transportation system, road safety and various government services.

“I have always wanted new migrants to have a better understanding of how to be a good New Zealander,” says the mother of two adult children.

“I’ve also helped promote the cervical smear screening and mammogram screening programmes.”

Mrs Su has recently moved from Somerville to Flat Bush and believes that to encourage people to move to new developments “we need to first fix the problems, like expanding the local shuttle bus services that link to major public transport hubs”.

“We need to improve the car park facilities by the bus stops and train stations as well.”

She also suggests that more fruit trees be planted at public reserves and parks to help provide shelter and make it more inviting for people to spend more time at the parks.

There are plenty of other ideas she wants to discuss.

“I’d like to work through the local board with schools and communities organisations to provide more after-school care and school holiday programmes for children to develop hobbies instead of sitting all day with their cell phones and computers,” she says.

“It would help to develop healthy lifestyles for the generation next.”

So why should people vote for her?

“I have the experience and passion to serve the community,” she enthuses.

“I love the community and want to contribute to it. I am very committed and I speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese—this will help me serve the diverse communities living in Botany more effectively.”

Real estate identity dies

By Nick Krause Well-known local businessman and broadcaster Humphrey Beale has died, aged 90.

Mr Beale’s family said in a death notice he passed away peacefully on January 13.

HUMPHREY BEALE “Late of NZ Herald, Edwards Motors, Beale Real Estate, Radio Pacific, Alcyone and much more,” the Herald notice said.

Alcyone was his much-loved classic wooden boat. The 38-foot launch, waitematewoodys.com reports, was purchased by Mr Beale in the midto-late 1960s. He owned it at least until the late 1980s or early 1990s.

“Beale was a real estate agent who used her (Alcyone) extensively for taking clients to Rakino, Waiheke and Great Barrier,” the site says.

His real estate business formerly occupied the prominent spot near St Kentigern College marked by a distinctive block building which has housed various enterprises since.

In a Facebook post Dennis Bloodnok wrote: “Sad to see the death at age 90 of Humphrey Beale, one of the hosts of “Open Country”, a nostalgia programme on Radio Pacific in the Fountain Court days.

“Some will remember him for that or his Beale Real Estate place in Pakuranga. He was an enthusiastic broadcaster, and when a number of us were “replaced” (including him) by a PD doing what PDs do, he really missed the interaction with his many enthusiastic callers and fans.

Another old broadcaster gone off air...May he rest in peace, and rise in glory.”

Allan Dick was also on Facebook. “Sorry to hear of the passing of Humphrey Beale, raconteur and good bastard. His knowledge was deep,” he said.

“Last time I saw Humphrey was about seven years ago as I was checking into a grand old pub in Geraldine as he was too. He was leading a bus tour and probably chatting up every single lady. Go well Humphrey.”

Mr Beale, the only child of Clarence and Myra Beale, is the father and father in law of Terry, Tina and Eric, Steve, Helen and Ian, Michael and Susana, grandfather of Rhonda, Chrissie, Kahley, Anna, Marie, Matthew, Leon, Kayla and Hannah and great grandfather of 16 children.

A memorial service will be held on Friday January 20 starting at 1pm at Bucklands Beach Yacht Club in Half Moon Bay.

Open to all ages, attendees will have the opportunity to master the art of making fondant cake toppers, whether they be simple, detailed, or somewhere in between.

It’s a skill that can be brought

out for any family party, celebration, special occasion or afternoon tea treat.

Each person attending will take home at least six figurines on six cupcakes, and the choices are endless – choose from a monkey, octopus, penguin, bear, dog, monster, owl, or come up with a new invention.

Held Monday, January 23, 9am-12pm.

Get in quick for crazy clay making at UXBRIDGE these school holidays, filled with entertainment and hands-on activity!

This action-packed class, suitable for kids aged six to 12 years, will teach essential clay making techniques while helping children to make their own unique items.

It’s the perfect school holiday entertainment for kids who aren’t afraid to get a little messy.

Attend a Monday session and have your art bisque fired, or register for a clay work and glazing session at the same time. Glazed items need to be flatter to dry in time, but will turn out a fantastic finished product.

Held Friday, January 20 from 9am-12pm, or January 20 to December 20 from 1pm-4pm.

Tickets cost $39 and are all-inclusive.

John’s blue Escort still a head turner

By Laura Brookes

I

t used to be one of the most common cars on the road.

Now, John Metford’s blue Ford Escort is something of a rarity, attracting hand waves, whistles and all sorts of attention when it rolls around the East Auckland neighbourhood.

Car enthusiast Mr Metford said it’s the history and heritage behind the faithful Ford Escort that makes the model so appealing.

“They’re just everywhere.

They’ve been raced, they’ve been rallied, your mum’s had one, your aunt’s had one. Everyone had one, and everyone can relate to them.”

It’s the second year Mr Metford has registered his car to take part in the Auckland Brit and Euro Classic Car Show, sponsored by the Howick Local Board as well as other commercial outlets.

Secretary Garry Robinson said organisers are well on their way to reaching their target of 600 vehicles at the free, non-competitive public event, with 527 cars currently registered as well as a few motorcycle entries.

Driven on 95 octane petrol with a 1300cc engine, Mr Metford said it’s his daily driver around town.

The Pakuranga resident can easily recall conversations with surprised landscape supply store employees when he tells them to simply “chuck the sand in the boot”.

“They look at me and say, “really?” I’m like, “sure bro!

Chuck it in, she’s alright!” It’s all a bit of a laugh... I’m not that precious about it.

“From my point of view, there’s no pleasure in a car that’s locked up in the garage under a cover and gets brought out twice a year. The pleasure in a car is using it and driving it... so [mine] gets used in all sorts of weather.”

Made in 1968 and purchased in 1974 by his mother, the classic car has been well-looked after since Mr Metford inherited it in 1989.

He’s personally restored the car twice, once in 1993 and most recently in 2012.

It’s a job Mr Metford said can take up to a couple of years when he’s working, but he’s determined to put in the time to ensure every inch of the

New Seasons Rockmelons

vehicle is proofed for future use.

“I’ll paint it in the carport, or fix it up myself... you do what you can. It’s just nicer to drive around in a clean car. You have more peace of mind if you know it’s going to get you back as well as there.

“People often tell me I’m lucky, but there’s really no luck in it. Luck is when you win the Lotto... not when you save up and you work hard, and end up with something nice as a result.”

The 2017 Brit and Euro Classic Car Show is on Sunday 5 March, 10am-3pm at Lloyd Elsmore Park. Entry and registrations are free. Those interested need to register their vehicles by 31 January at www. briteurocarshow.nz.

Your local Citizens Advice Bureau can help you to find a class or workshop on starting a business, which would give you the benefit of discussing your ideas with like-minded students.

Assuming that you already know what services or products your prospective business will provide, the next step would be to ensure that you have all the legal obligations covered. For example, the structure of the business, be it sole trader, partnership, or a company.

There are organisations available to help you to make sure that you have everything in place from day one. The Government business website has information about the legal aspects, or you can call direct and speak to a business advisor or contact a similar advisor at Inland Revenue to discuss your tax obligations.

There have been a number of newspapers articles of late regarding people of all age groups getting tired of being an employee tied to the wage/salary scenario and instead are considering setting up their own business.

In the present era of changing technology and current skills becoming obsolete, that may not be a bad idea for those who can cope with change. However before taking such a step it is wise to consider the pitfalls and the opportunities before stepping out as your own boss.

There are many agencies in the community and business world available to offer you advice and help.

One of the first to approach could probably be Work and Income (WINZ) they have information on hand which can help you decide whether running your own business would be right for you.

Last year he extended his world record as the oldest winner of any Ironman race and also became the first professional man in the world to win the same Ironman race on 12 occasions. In 2014, he became the official ambassador

for Ironman in the Asia-Pacific region and he is also an ambassador for Melanoma New Zealand which, in partnership with Ironman New Zealand, raises awareness for sun safety and the importance of regular skin checks.

Brown was also the ambassador of Breath for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) for five years and in 2016 became the Weet-Bix TRYathlon ambassador.

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

A: My wife Jenny but she already knew as she had been organising it with Triathlon New Zealand while I was overseas racing.

Q: What does the ONZM mean to you?

A: It’s a huge honour to receive the award and was totally unexpected, I’ve been in the sport now since I was 14 years of age and I still love it.

Q: Does receiving this award

change anything for you, does it push you to strive for more?

A: All I want to do is continue to just enjoy the sport of triathlon and hopefully inspire a new generation to start up and compete.

Q: How did you celebrate the announcement?

A: Nothing yet but I will in April when I will officially receive the award so a few more months to wait.

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

A: Just to have fun and enjoy what you do, if you don’t then you won’t last long. I have seen the world doing triathlons and there are still a few more places to visit so I need to keep going. My favourite quote is from a famous US runner (Steve Prefontaine): “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift”.

Clevedon, the home of Auckland Polo to host High Goal Charity Day One of the favourite events on Clevedon’s calendar, the annual Charity Polo Day, a collaboration between the Auckland Polo Club and the Clevedon Volunteer Fire brigade, will return to the renowned Fisher Polo Field on Sunday, January 29.

The Tiger Building Family Polo Charity Day showcases a traditional Kiwi polo experience.

A relaxed day out for everyone with all the fun of an authentic family day in the country, a sausage sizzle, auction, raffle, fire safety demonstrations and three games of competitive polo.

This is the sixth year Clevedon’s Auckland Polo Club has hosted the popular charity event with proceeds raised going to support the tremendous volunteer work the 26-strong Clevedon Volunteer Fire Brigade does.

“The Polo charity day is a great Clevedon community event made possible by the Auckland Polo Club,” says Mike Kelly, Station Officer at the Clevedon Volunteer Fire Brigade.

“Proceeds from this day have made such a positive impact to financially contributing to our local brigade and assist with our volunteer work.”

Twenty-eight polo teams are entered in this year’s Tiger Building Family Charity Polo tournament.

National and international Polo players will compete throughout the week with the final high goal matches held on Sunday.

“This is our highest amount of entries of polo teams to date,” says Hannah Marshall, Auckland Polo Club manager.

“We encourage locals and all Aucklanders to come and enjoy a fun family day in the country.”

Once again, rugby’s Steve Hansen has been nominated for the coach award, this time alongside other worthy candidates Gordon Walker (canoeing), Hamish Willcox (yachting) and Jeremy McColl (athletics).

Meanwhile young Black Caps captain Kane Williamson’s timely century for the Basin Reserve cricket

test win against gallant Bangladesh has him in a tight race with Ross Taylor to emulate Martin Crowe’s NZ test record 17 centuries.

Williamson’s latest effort took his tally to 15, one short of veteran Taylor, whose 60 in partnership with his skipper earned his team a win that seemed so remote after Bangladesh notched a first innings 595-8 declared.

What put the icing on the cake was Williamson’s latest heroics took his test average past 50.

Equally pleasing was opening batsman Tom Latham’s man of the match first innings 177 which allowed his team to get within striking distance of the tourists total.

would like to wish Times readers a very Happy New Year. I hope you have all enjoyed the festive period with family, friends and loved ones. I’d also like to thank our shift workers and emergency services who work tirelessly through the festive period to keep New Zealanders safe.

We’ve got a big year ahead.

Later this month the Nationalled Government will hold our first Caucus meeting of 2017 to plan the upcoming year. This is the time for us to reflect on our progress in 2016 and how New Zealanders want to see their country develop through the coming year.

Some of the highlights of 2016 include the economy continuing to strengthen under the Government’s programme of consistent economic and fiscal management. Around 250,000 extra jobs have been created over the past three years and unemployment is falling.

We are seeing strong growth

ami-Lee Ross MP for Botany in sectors such as tourism, ICT, construction, and hightech manufacturing. New Zealand is also experiencing our biggest building boom – in the past five years, annual residential building consents have more than doubled. In Auckland, they have almost tripled.

I’m particularly pleased to see that paid parental leave was lifted in 2016 to 18 weeks for families, and achievement rates in schools continues to grow well.

Locally, it was great to see progress made on projects I’ve championed over the years, like the Uxbridge Art Centre and the Reeves Road flyover.

While the recent Kaikoura earthquakes have had a major impact on affected families and businesses, they are not

expected to disrupt the overall momentum of the economy.

However, they do highlight the importance of using the good times to prepare so New Zealanders can be supported through challenging times.

Budget 2017 will be a good opportunity to fully assess the progress we have made in the last year and look at how best to support New Zealanders throughout 2017. Good progress has been made in education, health care, and developing a thriving economy.

I would like to thank you all for your support. If I am able to help in anyway, if you require any advice or assistance, my Botany Road office is now open again for the year. We look forward to helping you where we can.

Otherwise, I wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2017.

SUV sales break 44-year-old record

By Alistair Davidson

L

ast year’s total new vehicle sales were the highest on record with 146,753 registrations, an impressive 9.5 per cent increase on 2015.

Overall, the passenger and SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) market for 2016, excluding light commercials, was the strongest ever with 102,514 registrations. It broke a longstanding record dating back to 1973 when 97,346 passenger vehicles were sold.

“The 2016 record year

marked a continued shift in buyer preference and market dynamics with, for the first time in New Zealand history, more SUVs being sold than passenger vehicles,” said David Crawford, the Motor Industry Association’s chief executive officer.

“SUVs accounted for 36 per cent of the market (52,913 vehicles) compared to 35 per cent for all other passenger vehicles (51,552) and 29 per cent for commercial vehicles.”

SUV sales are broken down into four segments:

small, medium, large and luxury. Medium was the top segment for the year with 21,473 units, for a 15 per cent share of total new vehicle sales.

SUVs’ increasing popularity is due to their car-like driving characteristics, comfort, practicality, extremely versatile load-carrying ability, and an elevated seating position that offers good visibility.

Diesel, petrol, hybrid and plug-in electric power plants are on offer, along with twoand four-wheel-drive.

The elegant Renault Koleos has so much more than the average SUV. Loads of interior space including class leading rear leg room, heated front seats, a quick response touch screen with multimedia premium audio system are just the beginning. And from just $44,990.

Tax troubles now over

down to earth and practical.

“For example, we have extensive knowledge and expertise in both Xero and Bank Link accounting systems, but we won’t sell in something unnecessarily complex for a small business, nor will we leave a larger business wanting.

“We avoid using accounting jargon and are motivated to take the ‘fear factor’ out of accounting and financial matters.”

So, Pat’s advice to anyone worrying about their tax situation is to get in touch.

“Don’t worry about anything – we’re trained to sort it out. The key thing is to contact us sooner rather than later. ” Pat also has a call to action for the well-established businesses with existing Accountant relationships.

He urges you not to be complacent – now is a great time to review the work you are paying for and your level of satisfaction.

“It’s sometimes easier to stick with what you know rather than make the effort to switch, but this might not be doing your business any favours.

“You need to be absolutely sure that you are getting the best service possible, and, if not, make a change before the end of the tax year.”

Chinese New Year’s Eve is a day for family reunions.

Celebrating it a little in advance before the locals get busy with family commitments was the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple that hosted the 2017 Annual Reunion Dinner on Saturday at Stancombe Road, Flat Bush.

There was a celebratory air as around 1000 guests and 450 volunteers gathered in the beautiful courtyard of the Buddhist temple to partake in the festivities.

The evening started with a prayer and was followed by a sumptuous vegetarian meal and around 30 performances that included a range of Chinese, Korean and Mongolian folk dances.

From western classical music to youth workers at the temple putting up a spectacular show, the reunion dinner was a visual feast that welcomed not only the Chinese New Year on January 28—but also the multicultural community at large.

Home values across the Auckland region overall have decreased slightly over the last month dropping by 0.4 per cent as the impact of the new LVR restrictions take effect on the market and between November and December there has been a decrease in values in parts of the North Shore, Waitakere, Manukau and also in the former Auckland City Council eastern and southern suburbs. Meanwhile the Rodney District has seen the strongest growth over the past year rising 14 per cent year-on-year and 3.8 per cent over the past three months.

QV Auckland general manager, Jan O’Donoghue said: “Activity and demand in the Auckland residential property market has continued to slow during December as people appear to have decided to wait until after Christmas to enter the market.

“This comes on top of the slowing in the market brought on by the introduction of the new LVR changes in the last quarter of the year which has led to price drops in some sectors of the market.”

But any slow-down will be balanced by the fact the market is still being driven by strong net migration, relatively low interest rates and a lack of supply compared to the demand, particularly in Auckland.

period slow-down has led to a decrease in values in some parts of Auckland, Hamilton and Christchurch since November.

However, in Wellington values continue to rise faster than in Auckland but at a slightly slower rate than prior to the LVRs being introduced.

“While in Dunedin there has so far been no evident slowing in the housing market because of the new LVRs and value levels continue to increase and sales activity has remained strong throughout the Christmas period.

“This is likely to be due to the fact the Dunedin housing market offers a much lower entry level and price point than the other main centres.

Thus it’s easier for investors to find a 40 per cent deposit to purchase there and investors have remained active there,” she said.

A similar trend of plateauing/decreasing values was seen in the Auckland market over the summer period last year following the introduction of the (30 per cent) LVRs for the SuperCity region only.

“In 2016, the Auckland market then picked up in March, usually the busiest month of the year, and it’s possible we may see this happen again.

“However, if interest rates continue to rise during 2017 this may further reduce demand from investors and lead to a longer period of lower

he latest monthly QV House Price Index shows that nationwide residential property values for December increased 12.5 per cent over the past year.

Values rose by 1.3 per cent over the past three months and are now 51.5 per cent above the previous market peak of late 2007. When adjusted for inflation the nationwide annual increase drops slightly to 12.2 per cent and values are now 28.5 per cent above the 2007 peak. The average value nationwide is $627,905.

The Auckland market has increased 12.2 per cent yearon-year which is the slowest rate since January 2015. Home values in the SuperCity rose by 1.5 per cent over the past three months and are now 91.6 per cent higher than the previous peak of 2007. When adjusted for inflation, values rose 11.9 per cent over the past year and are 62.4 per cent above the 2007 peak. The average value for the Auckland Region is $1,047,179.

QV National Spokesperson Andrea Rush said: “December saw a continuation of the trend of a slowing rate of value growth, activity and demand.

“This trend has been seen in many of the main centres since the introduction of the LVRs, which require a minimum 40 per cent deposit for investment properties.

This coupled with the annual Christmas holiday

Hamilton

The rate of growth in Hamilton home values is considerably slower than it was earlier in the year with values rising 20.4 per cent in the year since December 2015, but rising just 1.1 per cent in the final quarter of the 2016. Over the past month there has been a decrease in values in suburbs in Hamilton North East, South West and South East. Values in the city are now 48 per cent above the previous peak of 2007 and the average value is now $534,860.

QV General Manager, Richard Allen said: “During December the Hamilton City market became one of two different tiers with properties over $550,000 continuing to attract buyers, but properties under $550,000 proving much less popular.

“This is because there are less buyers competing for properties at the lower end of the market, now that many investors have left the market following the new LVR rules being introduced.

“Good prices continue to be achieved in Ngaruawahia. Hauraki Plains’ towns such as Paeroa

and Ngatea, are popular with Aucklanders due to lower prices and their proximity to Auckland, yet still offering entry level properties for under $300,000.”

Tauranga

The Tauranga market continues to rise, with home values in Tauranga City up by 24 per cent year-on-year and 4.3 per cent over the past three months. The average value in the city is now $672,197. Western Bay of Plenty home values rose 23.0 per cent over the past year but decreased by 0.6 per cent in the final quarter of the year. The average value in the district is now $571,520.

QV homevalue Tauranga, Registered Valuer, David Hume said: “We have seen a strong start to the year in the Tauranga housing market following on from good growth throughout 2016.”

“The announcement and immediate implementation of the new nationwide LVR restrictions in July saw a cooling off in the Tauranga market especially for investment properties toward the end of the year, although agents are reporting improved interest and sales volumes in recent months.”

“Western Bay of Plenty saw good growth in 2016 as it represented better ‘value for money’ in comparison to Tauranga however value growth is slowing there now due to fewer investors being active in the market.”

“Rents have continued to increase throughout 2016, with an average three bedroom house now renting for $100 more than it did two years ago. The prestige market has shown good growth over the last six months with a number of sales in excess of $1.5 million, on the back of a strong stable economy and cashed up Auckland buyers looking for a lifestyle change.”

Other provincial centres

In the North Island, the Kaipara District is one of the stand-out performers with values up 27.8 per cent year-on-year and 8.0 per cent over the last quarter of the year as buyers continue to look north of Auckland for more affordable property.

The Hauraki District is also up by 30.0 per cent year-on-year and 8.8 per cent over the past three months, again due to movers and investors looking south of Auckland for more affordable property.

“With interest rates set to rise further during 2017, it appears some investors are choosing not to buy more property as they have lower expectations of potential capital gains during 2017.

“However, properties with subdivision potential (under the new Unitary Plan) are still selling well and achieving record prices.

“This includes properties in areas that are close to up and coming town centres and have good transport links, in suburbs such as Mt Wellington and New Lynn.

“Units that don’t have sub-division potential are less popular because there is low expectation of achieving capital gains.”

Family united in new kitchen for Mum For 44 years, Colleen McLeod washed the dishes by hand.

But with the passing of Colleen’s husband last year, it was time for some changes around the Te Atatu Peninsula family home, says daughter Tanya McLeod.

After sustaining the wear and tear of raising a big family, one West Auckland kitchen was in need of a total makeover. And thanks to Jag Kitchens, it now has a new lease of life.

Importantly, the experience was top-notch.

“Jag has been extremely great to deal with, they’re very user friendly and put their client’s needs first,” says Tanya.

“We had never done the kitchen, never had a dishwasher. If Mum was going to continue living at the house, we would need a new kitchen.”

“And they managed to deliver a kitchen that everyone was happy with!”

Through a recommendation, Tanya discovered Jag Kitchens in Botany’s Danske Mobler Home Centre.

“A friend of mine had a kitchen put in last year by Jag and I was really impressed with the quality, design, how good they were to deal with and, of course, cost.”

Meeting Jag Kitchens designer Megan Dyer, the McLeods talked about their vision and requirements for the space.

“Megan accommodated us really well. She considered everything Mum wanted and listened to her,” says Tanya.

Colleen wanted a breakfast bar and double door fridge which proved tricky in a long kitchen with a lot of windows and not a lot of wall space, says Tanya.

“We couldn’t figure out the placement but Megan came up with a design that worked and we were happy with it.”

equipped for such family occasions, the mother of five and grandmother of 10 will hopefully be spending more time with her family and less time washing up.

Colleen McLeod (left) with Megan Dyer in the newly designed kitchen.

Megan says removing the wall which divided the dining area and kitchen made a huge impact.

“It’s made the area more spacious and sunnier than it used to be.”

With less corners to deal with, the cabinetry lined up nicely together with all the other necessary components, she added.

“We also customised the height for the microwave so she wouldn’t have to bend down or reach up to take plates in and out of the microwave,” says Megan.

The result is a far cry from the former painted wooden kitchen with its textured ceiling and

stainless steel bench.

A granite benchtop in angola black sparkles alongside white gloss cabinetry and an unusual tiled splashback creates dimension.

“It was a lovely touch and I’m really stoked they went with the hexagonal tiles which have more depth and character than the traditional subway tiles,” says Megan.

Extending from the kitchen, the laundry area has also been

Tanya says the finished product is stunning.

“Everyone who comes in says ‘this is so nice – it’s really got the wow factor’. It’s changed the house completely.”

Hosting Thanksgiving was a breeze for Colleen thanks to the openness of the kitchen, says Tanya.

With a kitchen so well-

Jag Kitchens specialises in custom-designed kitchens and has its own manufacturing plant. The staff also use a stateof-the-art 3D computer design programme to show clients beforehand exactly how their new kitchen will look.

Jag Kitchens has an excellent reputation for designing and building for all budgets and for providing an outstanding design service with sound advice.

The respect, care and quality the company delivers to its residents underpin its success and its reputation as a great place to work.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to lead the performance of one of Summerset’s largest villages – Summerset By The Park, Manukau. It is a challenging yet rewarding role that is somewhat unique in the sector due to the level of autonomy offered.

You’ll actively manage resources to ensure the village’s performance is to the highest standards of excellence and is making a valuable contribution to the success of the company it is part of.

This position requires a person who is a results-focused leader of a high-performing multi-disciplinary team and who has a track record of successfully delivering commercial business results. Equally important is the desire to enhance the lifestyle of village residents and to create an environment for your team conducive to success. You’ll offer a style of leadership that inspires others to be the best they can, have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to relate well to an array of people.

The role offers an attractive remuneration package and benefits and the opportunity to work with a supportive manager and a friendly and motivated team.

MATHS, ENGLISH, SCIENCE & STATISTICS TEACHER NCEA – Cambridge – IB • Year 3 to University Decades of experience. Makes it fun!

Bill Porter B.A. M.Phil (Hons) Auckland University

Some amazing achievements by my students: Sachini 92% (A* pass) for IGCSE Maths.

Emily

88% (A pass) for IGCSE Maths.

Students normally sit this exam in year 11. These 2 students were only in Year 10!

Kairui

Excellent for all three Maths externals for NCEA Level 3.

“We are so happy for him, and thought we’d better share this with you, because you are the one who really helps with his achievements! Thank you again!”

Enrol now and take advantage of discount rates for paying a term in advance (see next column).

Parents should note that NCEA students are doing ongoing internal assessments during the term which count for credits in exactly the same way as do end of year exams so these should be taken very seriously, espacially by those students seeking merits and excellences. Enrol now to do practice tests and to find out what the examiners are looking for when you write your answers.

Luis

Excellent for Level 3 Maths. Merit for Level 3 Physics. Luis has been accepted for an engineering course at university.

Arran

Now a Bachelor of Engineering “Hi Bill, just thought you might like to know that Arran has finished his Bachelor Of Engineering Technology at Unitec.

He has been getting great grades (A’s) and has landed himself a great job at a civic engineering company at year’s end. We would like to thank you for the expert training and tuition which we believe was material in Arran’s success.”

Will your child be exam ready?

ENROL NOW FOR TERM 1

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!”

Fees: Casual 10 Hours 20 Hours

Classy Halberg finalists Agnew’s Angle

O

nce again New Zealanders can rejoice at the calibre of their amazing sports stars judging from those named as Halberg Award finalists.

That the All Blacks could not make the final four for the team prize, after winning a record consecutive 18 tier one tests before their historic first loss to Ireland in Chicago, will irk some rugby diehards.

However few would argue that Olympic champion sailors Peter Burling and Blair Tuke (men’s 49er) and oarsmen Hamish Bond and Eric Murray (men’s pair) are worthy favourites to take the top team prize as well as the overall award.

Burling and Tuke not only maintained their incredible form since finishing second at the 2012 London Olympics, but finished an incredible 45 points clear of their nearest challengers.

But for over eagerness in

WORTHY: Few would argue that Olympic champion sailors Peter Burling and Blair Tuke (men’s 49er) and oarsmen Hamish Bond and Eric Murray (men’s pair) are worthy favourites to take the top team Photo Royal Akarana Yacht Club prize as well as the overall award.

registering two false starts, women’s 47 sailors Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie would have repeated their London gold. That they scored silver speaks volumes for their incredible ability.

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Aleh after Powrie recently announced her retirement.

Meanwhile Bond has decided to give rowing a temporary break and concentrate on cycling in which he finished a remarkable

third in the national road time trial.

As the first New Zealandborn boxer to win a world professional heavyweight championship, Joseph Parker has a chance of winning the Halberg Sportsman title from popular Olympic single sculls champion Mahe Drysdale and bronze medallist athletes Tom Walsh (shot put) and Nick Willis (1500m).

However, although a worthy finalist, his chances

of beating double Olympic champion Drysdale in particular could be hurt because the heavyweight crown is not unified with British boxer Anthony Joshua and American Deontay Wilder holding other versions of the crown.

Such was the standard of competition that dazzling International Rugby Player of the Year Beauden Barrett failed to gain a nomination.

Having emulated Drysdale’s feat by backing up gold in London with the same colour in Rio, Lisa Carrington should pip fellow canoeist Luuka Jones, Dame Valerie Adams (shot put) and Lydia Ko (golf), who all struck silver, for the women’s award.

Just failing to make it against such a talented field was delightful Olympic bronze medallist pole vaulter Elisa McCartney.

Particularly difficult will be deciding between the Paralympic medals won by swim star Sophie Pascoe and humorous bolt-out-ofthe-blue track sprinter Liam Malone, who has emerged as a real character. ➤ Turn to Page 10
