AM-RAIDERS have been hitting the eastern suburbs.

Police have seen â&#x20AC;&#x153;a recent upsurge in commercial burglaries known as ram raidsâ&#x20AC;? says Inspector Ann Wilkie, prevention manager Counties Manukau East.

Over the past few weeks, shopping malls, suburban shops and properties in large industrial areas have all been targeted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Birthday weekend, there have been various commercial premises targeted ranging from stationery shops for electronics and cycling shops for push bikes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most common shop being targeted is liquor shops,â&#x20AC;? Inspector Wilkie says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking at seven since Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Birthday Friday. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it is only one group committing them so potentially (police are) looking for a number of people.â&#x20AC;?

The most common type of vehicle being used are Nissans while in the past Mazdas were the vehicles of choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vehicles are, on some occasions, stolen from the local area but also from other parts of Auckland,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Often there is more than one stolen vehicle used â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one is left at the scene while the second is used to get away with the property.â&#x20AC;? â&#x17E;¤ Turn to Page 2

Wunderruma originated when the curators were invited by Galerie Handwerk in Munich, Germany, to create a show for the international jewellery symposium Schmuch in 2014, a tour supported by Creative New Zealand. Wunderruma binds the German word wunder (wonder) with the Maori word ruma (room). The title suggests Wunderkammer, or a cabinet of curiosities.

NEW pedestrian refuge on a route between two major schools has raised safety concerns from a local resident.

Howick man Michael Phillips is worried that the new refuge at the intersection of Pakuranga Road and The Link may create new safety issues.

The route is used by Howick Primary School in Willoughby Avenue and Howick Intermediate in Pakuranga Road.

Mr Phillips says that now there is only room for one car to turn into Pakuranga Road from The Link itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s created new safety issues with traffic at school start and finish times likely to be backed up to Willoughby Avenue.

Also, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned that because the refuge has nar-

rowed The Link, reduced road space could make it dangerous for vehicles turning left into The Link from Pakuranga Road.

Also, if a car hits the refuge, he says it could also hit a child waiting there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no going back,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I presume this has been done for safety reasons but I want to understand why it was put in. I can see this causing more rather than less problems.â&#x20AC;?

A spokesman for Auckland Transport says the improvements are aimed at improving pedestrian facilities, encouraging active modes of travel and providing safer journeys to the local schools.

Extensive surveys were carried out with Howick Primary School, parents and students, to understand their safety con-

cerns for travel to and from school as part of the AT Travelwise programme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A number of concerns were raised which were investigated with the aim to establish routes taken to school and paying particular attention to active modes of travel, such as walking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on the results of this survey and thorough investigations, a number of locations were identified where the road environment presented a challenge for pedestrians,â&#x20AC;? he says.

The improvement at the intersection of The Link and Pakuranga Road involved the introduction of a pedestrian refuge so children could cross the road in two stages.

It also involved reducing the radius of the corners so traffic speeds are lower entering and exiting The Link.

Checks were undertaken during the design process to ensure that the type of vehicles using the road were not restricted.

The improvement at the intersection of The Link and Willoughby Avenue involved removing the traffic island as there was insufficient space to convert it to a pedestrian refuge.

The corner radius was also reduced so traffic speeds are lower entering and exiting The Link.

The proposals, the spokesman says, were subject to extensive consultation with the Howick Local Board, local schools, residents and other key stakeholders.

Also, an independent road safety audit was undertaken which did not identify any concerns.

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, June 11, 2015 — 3

Fight continues for ridge line Residents on semi-rural Point View Drive, Howick, are upset that part of the SuperCity’s rural urban boundary (RUB) has been shifted to the edge of the road in the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (PAUP) and, worse, the vacant property accommodated by the boundary change is destined for suburban housing. Marianne Kelly asks: How did this happen?

O

N August 28, 2013, the Auckland Council’s Auckland Plan Committee carried a resolution that the proposed RUB be shifted to the edge of Point View Drive.

This action moved a vacant block of land at 178 Point View Drive into the adjoining proposed mixed housing suburban zone from its current country living 5000 square metre section zone under the Manukau District Plan.

The resolution was proposed and seconded by Howick Ward councillors Dick Quax and Sharon Stewart and was carried by 14 votes to six. The rationale in the meeting minutes was that the boundary shift was in recognition of its location adjoining existing urban areas, its ability to be serviced by infrastructure, and the opportunity it presented to increase housing supply in the area.

The issue was complicated for the residents when, last February, Building and Housing Minister, Nick Smith, announced another tranche of Special Housing Areas (SHAs) including four in Auckland. One was the 6.3 hectares at 178 Point View Drive.

Members of the Point View Heritage Society are horrified.

Spokesmen Peter Loveys and Mike Hammond say the society’s objectives are to maintain the character of the area for the present and future. An outstanding view can be seen from the road overlooking 178, one of the last in Auckland of such character.

When the newly-formed Auckland Council started formulating the first draft of the Unitary Plan, the proposed RUB ran on the same line as that in the existing Manukau District Plan.

“We were happy with that,” they say.” We made submissions and said we agreed with this.”

To their horror, when the next Unitary Plan draft appeared the boundary at 178 had been moved up to the edge of Point View Drive.

The society, in a submission to the Unitary Plan hearings, is opposing the boundary change.

Submissions are expected to be heard by the Independent Hearings Panel later this or early next year.

Since the SHA announcement was made the society has tried to find out whether their submission opposing the boundary change in the PAUP would be withdrawn if the SHA legislation overrides the Unitary Plan.

Ree Anderson, the council’s

‘This was well-debated’ THE Times asked Howick Ward councillors Dick Quax and Sharon Stewart why they decided to put forward the resolution to shift part of the RUB up hard against part of Point View Drive, Howick.

Dodging the question they instead said they did not intend to comment any further on the matter.

Referring to the council’s project director housing, says the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act 2013 (HASHAA) simply allows landowners to use conditions in the PAUP, which are only notified at this stage, for residential development. She says the legislation is designed to fast-track the supply and affordability of housing.

The Point View Drive property does not require a variation to the PAUP to give it residential zoning because the notified Unitary Plan identifies a mixed housing suburban zone which is within the RUB and is considered operative under the SHA process. So any development only requires resource consent approval, she says.

It’s only when submissions on plan variations sought under the HASHAA legislation and on recommendations in the PAUP are running simultaneously that the PAUP submission would be with-

decision to agree to an SHA on the Point View Drive property they said: “It has been well debated by the Auckland Council which made a unanimous decision, after carefully considering all relevant matters, that this piece of privately-owned land qualified as a Special Housing Area under the Government’s housing accord with the Auckland Council.” drawn.

In this instance no HASHAA plan variation is sought, so submissions relating to the PAUP zoning will stand, Ms Anderson says. The Independent Hearings Panel will make its decision on the boundary change based on evidence likely to include the SHA status and any consents granted.

Consequently, the rub for the Point View Drive residents is that by the time the RUB hearings come up, resource consent for residential development of the Point View Drive land may be approved. Ms Anderson says resource consent can be implemented regardless of any zoning decision that the panel makes.

“To date the Housing Project Office (HPO) has approved earthworks consent on the site. No further consents have, as yet, been submitted to the council,” Ms Anderson says.

&2%% ÀÌ ` Ì VÊV ÃÕ Ì>Ì

Mr Loveys and Mr Hammond say it’s wrong to destroy the area by putting in intensive housing.

“We’re not objecting to SHA housing, but under the council’s rules and responsibilities this area is zoned for 5000 square metre sections, country living.

“We tried to encourage the council to purchase the land to preserve the view shaft. A lot of people gather there at night for the view.

“It’s about maintaining for future generations a rural environment that they can enjoy. This is a unique ridge line that could be disappearing.”

Ms Anderson says the Point View Drive ridgeline protection overlay in the PAUP maps will apply to ensure appropriate placement and scale of buildings because SHAs are based on the provisions of the PAUP as it was at notification.

Mr Lovey and Mr Hammond question the ability of the developer to provide infrastructure for intensive housing on the steep northern slope of the ridge line.

Ms Anderson says the council undertakes due diligence of any location under consideration for SHA status.

The assessment for 178 Point View Drive identified the following points: ■■ Storm water – there are existing storm water pipes on the proposed site. But the developer will need to assess the capacity in the pipes and will need to meet the more stringent storm water requirements in the PAUP. ■■ Wastewater – there is good capacity in the bulk network and some local infrastructure upgrades may be required as part of the development.

■■ Water supply – the developer has agreed to provide a local upgrade solution to service the development.

While most of the access to the SHA is likely to come from the lower edge, the Times<ital> asked the council whether it had considered the implications of the weight of traffic that may result along Point View Drive which remains, in essence, a steep, windy, rural road.

Ms Anderson says a traffic assessment will be required as part of the resource consent application to assess any potential effects on the road network as a result of the proposal.

“The details of any effects associated with traffic as a result of the development will be considered at the resource consent stage.”

Green Ribbon Awards THE MANUKAU Beautification Charitable Trust is one of 10 community groups, organisations and businesses named as winners of this year’s Green Ribbon.

It picked up the top award in the community leadership category at a ceremony at Parliament last week.

Project Janszoon won the Supreme Award after it carried out an impressive job restoring and protecting one of New Zealand’s greatest natural assets: the Abel Tasman National Park.

Project initiatives include extensive pest and weed control, the return of important plants and animals like rata and kaka and future proofing the project through education and community engagement,” a spokesman says.

Put old mobile to good use NOW’S a great time to find a better use for that old mobile phone – drop it off at an Auckland Council service centre and raise money for the Starship National Air Ambulance Service.

Throughout June and July there will be a Starship Mobile Phone collection box at the council’s main service centres across the region for people who want to help kids and the planet by recycling an old phone.

Auckland Council is joining in the successful campaign that has been raising funds for the Starship Foundation since 2009, raising more than $2.3 million to help fund the Starship National Air Ambulance.

Zoo Boogie has been invited by the Salvation Army to represent the Army’s New Zealand/Fiji/ Tonga Territory at its International Congress in London.

About 25,000 people from around the world are expected to attend.

The group heads to London on June 28 to perform as part of two family concerts and at the final evening session in the Arena.

Travelling with Blair Dale, the Zoo Boogie Children’s Trust

Young Entrepreneurs step up

chief executive (Zoo Keeper), are Mark Fitness (Levi), Tom Wardle (Boris), Elizabeth Harrex (Ella) and Lashana Dale (Max).

Mr Dale says the group is extremely excited about performing in front of such a large audience.

“There will be so many nations and cultures represented at the congress and we are looking forward to seeing how much international appeal Zoo Boogie has.”

The band of five was formed

in 2011, based on a fictional zoo involving a bunch of musically gifted animals that live there.

It aims to teach young children essential values to help them live a positive life as they grow.

The idea for Zoo Boogie was

sparked after Mr Dale took his children to a Wiggles concert.

“Research shows that children respond to colour, animals and music, so we designed our animal characters to be like big soft toys,” he says.

EIGHTY ambitious young high school entrepreneurs from around the country will compete in the seventh FedEx Express/Junior Achievement International Trade Challenge on June 12.

The students – including nine from the Howick/Pakuranga region - will be hoping to win one of six places on the New Zealand team to compete in the Asia Pacific finals in Singapore.

The FedEx/JA ITC is a forum for aspiring business leaders to gather and develop their business ideas and then take them to the international market.

The group of business-minded 16to-19-year-olds has been selected to take part in the competition by the Young Enterprise Trust. Students will be coming from as far north as Kaikohe and as far south as Riverton to Massey University’s Albany campus for an intense weekend that will put their business acumen to the test.

The students will be placed in teams and asked to come up with a market entry strategy challenge in which they only have 20 hours to develop and respond, which includes a business plan, a product prototype and a multimedia presentation.

The winning team will automatically go into the final selection process with additional students being nominated to present individually to a judging panel before a final team of six is selected to go to Singapore in August to represent New Zealand in the FedEx/JA ITC Asia-Pacific regional final.

In Singapore, the students will be split into three teams of two where they will compete against students from eight other Asia Pacific markets, including Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

■ The local students are Maryam Barghashiy and Kelly Spence from Howick College; Wendy Lee and Alina Lin from Macleans College; Kobe Huang, Josh Martin, Albie Hou, Jack Crenfeldt and Hunter Waihape from Pakuranga College.

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, June 11, 2015 — 5

Tributes flow for Irene’s half century M

EMBERS of Howick Little theatre have paid a special tribute to their patron Irene Fryer, who this year marked a 50year membership milestone.

A special song was written and performed by Julia Banks to mark the occasion celebrated at the theatre in Sir Lloyd Drive, Pakuranga, and Mrs Fryer, who these days lives in Turangi, was presented with a bouquet and gift as an acknowledgment of the outstanding contribution she has made to the theatre.

During her 50 years, Mrs Fryer directed 26 plays the first, The Guinea

Pig –thence in 1966 and her final in 1998 when she directed The darling Buds of May. She was awarded best director on eight separate occasions As well as directing, Mrs Fryer served as the theatre’s president for four terms spanning 16 years.

She performed in numerous plays, receiving best actor award for her roles in Oh What a Lovely War and Cass McGuire.

In 1994 she was formally recognised for her dedication in encouraging and developing the talent of many young aspiring performers.

School talent promoted

By Marianne Kelly AN ANNUAL opportunity to showcase south-eastern secondary schools’ musical talent has kicked off with three performances to come.

The ‘Classic At Twelve’ music series is into its fourth year and the arts centre programme and events manager Ashley Grogan says audience numbers continue to astonish her.

In the first year about 30 people attended each of the six concerts, but the numbers have

since grown to 80-100 for each performance.

The series, she says, is an opportunity to bring music students into a different environment.

“To come to another venue is good for them,” Ms Grogan says.

“They perform to a different audience, not to their peers. The general public is the next step for them.”

No criteria are set for the programmes. The schools are simply asked to put together one hour of music.

HLT’s current president, Frances Hollis says to have achieved so much in her time with the theatre is testament to Mrs Fryer’s wisdom, organisation, directing and acting skills.

“Without her the theatre would not be what it is today,” she says.

“The members will be joined by many in the community in extending their heartfelt congratulations and thanks.”

ACKNOWLEDGED: Right, Howick Little Theatre life member of 50 years, Irene Photo supplied Fryer.

Ms Grogan says the choices range from classical to jazz to popular music – sometimes performed by small groups and at other times full-scale choirs, such as Edgewater College’s 50-strong choir that performed in last year’s series.

The concerts are performed at 12 noon-1pm.

The cost is $2 and door sales only.

The remaining programme for this year is: June 12, Botany Downs Secondary College; June 19, Howick College; June 26, Elim Christian College. Schools which have already performed are Pakuranga and Sancta Maria Colleges.

Industrial expansion announced at Highbrook Business Park EXISTING customer partnerships have paved the way for a new warehouse project at Highbrook Business Park.

The project is one of four new industrial developments with a combined cost of $45.8 million announced by Goodman (NZ), the manger of Goodman Property Trust (GMT).

The CSR Viridian expansion at Highbrook, initially announced in 2013 with a deferred start, has increased in size by about 30 per cent from its initial specification to 10,486 square metres. The enlarged factory warehouse will total more than 18,000 square metres once completed and will feature extensive yard and

hardstand areas.

The other developments include a new manufacturing and warehouse facility for Orora Packaging (New Zealand) and an uncommitted 3300 square metre warehouse at M20 Business Park, Wiri; and a 2002 square metre warehouse expansion for Holden (New Zealand) at its distribution

centre in Savill Link, Otahuhu.

The Viridian project at Highbrook, scheduled to be complete in March next year, and the Holden expansion, to be completed in May next year, have a total cost of $18.9m.

Goodman (NZ) chief executive, John Dakin, says strong property fundamentals and continuing

customer demand is allowing the Trust to accelerate its property development programme.

“With new businesses choosing to locate to design-built premises at our estates and existing customers exercising expansion options, we are targeting $100$150m of new development projects annually.”

Member for life

By PJ TAYLOR

R

ON Hulse has received his life membership of the Howick Returned and Services Association (RSA), much to the delight of his cobber Veterans, family and friends.

Mr Hulse is the latest in the long line of former Howick RSA presidents to have their dedicated, voluntary service recognised by the life membership honour.

The ceremony was attended by 40 ex-service people, family members and friends, as well as Howick dignitaries, at the Wellington Street clubrooms on May 30, the day of his wife Daphneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 84th birthday, making it a doubly special occasion for the family.

To her joy, retired Howick Mayor Morrin Cooper had his pocket trumpet at hand and played her Happy Birthday, to which everyone sang along.

Ron and Daphne have been married 63 years and now live on the sunny Whangaparaoa Peninsula after shifting north about a dozen years ago. But for more than 40 years from 1960, the Howick RSA was a big part of their lives.

The Hulse family lived in Union Road when it was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;clay trackâ&#x20AC;? in the early 1960s, and the route to the clubrooms was a well-worn path.

During his acceptance speech, Mr Hulse, 83, recalled being part of an eager battalion of Howick RSA members, guided by leaders such as his mentor, the late former president Russ Rice.

They worked tirelessly to build and create the clubrooms and organisation it is today, from its humble beginnings in a shed where the Salvation Army East City Corps are now stationed, and via the old library building in the Moore Street/Fencible Drive car park.

Graham Dolan, the Manurewa RSA president and Auckland District RSA vice-president, said he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have missed the opportunity to present the prize to his old mate Ron. Mr Hulse joined His Majestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Royal New Zealand Navy at Devonport in 1947 as an adventurous 15-year-old out of school from his hometown of Huntly.

He soon saw serious naval combat in the Korean War â&#x20AC;&#x201C; New Zealand was the first Western

FRUITFUL PARTNERHIP: During his acceptance speech for life membership of the Howick RSA, former club president Ron Hulse thanked his wife Daphne for always being at his side during all their years of service and Photo supplied / PJ Taylor contribution to the wider RSA community.

Allies navy at the scene to support the South; witnessed dangerously lethal nuclear testing under orders, and was on duty during the hottest period in the Cold War, until 1964.

Mr Hulse, president from 20002003 and vice-president for a year earlier, thanked the Howick RSA for staging the ceremony.

His life membership was moved last year by the late Wattie McEwan and Eric Wilson, and supported by many more members. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ron and Daphne helped raise money for the establishment of the Howick RSA Charter Club building, progressing the club from the tin shed to what we have today,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says the official citation. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;During his three years as president, Ron accepted the appointment as a full-time occupation. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;His daily presence, welcoming guests and ensuring that members on their own were introduced to others, earned the club a reputation for friendliness. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;He took a keen active interest in the Old Digs, the Over Sixties,

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Section and Returned Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Section. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;He attended many receptions with the Korean Consul General representing Howick RSA, as he also did at Government House on the invitation of the Governor General. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ron regularly visited sick members in hospital and helped with the welfare of the RSA members.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr and Mrs Hulse, the parents of Times senior sales account manager Janine Hickmore, have always been active in the lead-up to Anzac Day selling poppies, a critically important RSA fundraising activity.

He has continued to sell poppies every year as a member of Silverdale RSA and visited three schools in Whangaparaoa this year to tell students about the significance of Anzac, which he previously did with great distinction in this area.

Ron and Daphneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story fits with the Howick RSA motto: Remembering our past, embracing our future.

Eco warriors unite Six colleges from East Auckland will come together for the Auckland Secondary Schools Green Jam to be hosted at Macleans College on June 16

By Farida Master

NVIRONMENTALISTS are not tree-hugging hippies anymore.

They are go-getting college students cleaning up streams, planting native plants at the Motuihe Island, creating burrows for extinct species and organising beach clean-ups.

Inspired by the global youth climate movement, the enviro group of Macleans College are organising a Green Jam on June 16.

Six colleges will be participating including Pakuranga College, Howick College, Saint Kentigern

College, Botany Downs Secondary College, Ormiston Senior College and Selwyn College.

At the Green Jam around 40 to 50 secondary school leaders of sustainability will discuss and share exciting ideas on the different environmental projects that they are currently working on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will start with a dark video,â&#x20AC;? says Aishwarya Gopalakrishnan, an active member of the environmental group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The video focuses on the negativity man has brought to the planet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the speakers is Georgia Lala a seventeen-year-old business owner we met at the Auck-

land Green Jam earlier this year.

Jina Hong, another actionoriented green warrior from Macleans College adds: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Georgia will be talking about aquaponics, which is growing plants in water or in an aquarium.â&#x20AC;?

Aquaponics is a food production system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics, the soilless growing of plants, in an integrated system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head boy of Macleans College, Keniel Yao will also be a speaker at the Green Jam.â&#x20AC;?

VOLUNTEER CONTRIBUTION: Howick Rotary volunteers clear the gardens around James Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store & Howick Arms building as part of the new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Adopt a Buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project that has started at the Howick Historical Village.

and has assisted with many activities, from simple pruning to helping get the mill pond going again,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However a number of us thought that it would be better to focus our efforts rather than have a general assistance approach. That is why we wanted to help get the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Adopt a Buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project going. Our members are keen to help the Village and, by adopting James Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store and Howick Arms building, we can concentrate the wide range of skills that we have within the club on its restoration and future maintenance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am sure that we will get a great sense of pride whenever we visit the Village and see our

adopted building.â&#x20AC;?

Since starting the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Adopt a Buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; programme, Mr Day has also signed up Howick Lions Club who have taken on the Raupo cottages of Private John Briody and Mail Runner Ngamapu and the Early Settlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sod Cottage as their adopted buildings.

Mr Day says there will be more opportunities to extend the programme to other community groups in the future after a settling in period for current Memorandums of Understanding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a wonderful way for the local community and the Village to interact together and help tackle one of our major issues,â&#x20AC;? he says.

WITH more than 30 heritage wooden structure, the cost and resources required to restore and maintain one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best collections of pioneer buildings is a constant challenge for the Howick Historical Village.

Ian Day, the village manager says the new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Adopt a Buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; programme initiated with Howick Rotary will make a substantial contribution to maintenance efforts.

Under the programme, Howick Rotary will literally adopt one of the Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key buildings, James Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store and Howick Arms. Rotary and the Village have signed a joint Memorandum of Understanding which provides the template for the ongoing maintenance and preservation of the building and covers restoration protocols and health and safety matters.

A schedule of work has been agreed between the parties and includes the building and grounds around it.

The programme got underway recently with the replacement of guttering by an outside contractor and continued with Rotary volunteers clearing the gardens around the base of the building so further painting and restoration work can continue.

Ted Aislabie, who heads up the group of Rotary volunteers who will be involved in the project, says the club is â&#x20AC;&#x153;delighted to be part of the new initiativeâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The club has been involved with the Village for many years

N INTERESTING mix of people that included a police constable, hairdresser, restaurateur, a Howick Local Board member, real estate agents and parents, who are professionals in different fields, came together at the annual community meet hosted by Howick College.

The idea behind it is to connect with the local business operators and keep the community informed about the progress the college is making.

Seen as a college that is an integral part of the community, associate principal Ian Morrison said the school was passionate about equipping students with life-long learning skills.

The confidence of the community in the college is now being reflected in the growing number of in-zone students.

Four ratepayer groups unite

LAST week three other chairpeople from Cockle Bay (Laurie Slee), Howick (Gayleen Mackereth), Half Moon Bay (Keith Ingram) and myself (Bucklands and Eastern Beaches) met for a coffee and chat.

It was very interesting, we enjoyed it and between us we have in excess of 500 members and rising.

After spending two hours talking, we decided our main goals are to increase our memberships, support each other and show a united front on issues we are not happy with.

Another goal is to communicate our findings to the public and to publicise the fact we need support in signed-up members.

They are not required to do anything on committees etc.

Issues may be relative to our particular areas or across the board such as: â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Ratepayers money not spent wisely, the pain of rising costs and seeing money wasted on things like consultation fees where the work is never carried out and yet another consultation is undertaken a year or so later. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; The roading changes at Pigeon Mountain Rd and the entrance to the Half Moon Bay complex. With this comes a loss of about 30/40 car parks. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; The proposed plans at Half Moon Bay and the siting of the new ferry berth and walkway. It was pointed out the distance from transport to the covered walkway is approximately 300 metres â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to have a disability card you cannot be able to walk more than 200m so no disabled passengers here then!

And that is not taking into consideration the rest of the walk to actually board the boat. Local boaties have pointed out if the weather is a bit windy or stormy, the ferries and passengers will be exposed to high winds and rain. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; The protection of the Heritage area in Howick. Do people understand the difference between the Village heritage and character and the heritage zone that was created in the mid eighties that relates to housing? â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Protection of our beaches and money spent annually on upkeep of foreshore and sand retention. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Submission meetings (should be) designed to be more user-friendly and local ... not like the Bucklands Beach fishing issue where one of our residents took the

We know who killed the family A CORRESPONDENT complains we pay police salaries yet police incompetence will cost us compensation for those wrongly convicted.

Anyone with sufficient analytical skills and time to thoroughly study the Bain case will be left in no doubt at all who killed the family, and be left dumbfounded by the outcome.

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible the provincial police felt overwhelmed by the scale of events in Dunedin, there was a mass of evidence collected and it all points in one direction.

Initially the police thought it was murder-suicide, but soon changed their minds.

I agree those within the adversarial system donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to care about the truth.

However, I have confidence Judge Ian Callinan does. Our money is in safe hands.

LOYALTY REWARDED Free groceries for life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sounds too good to be true, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

By joining the Farmer in the House loyalty programme, online shoppers can start accumulating discounts with the ability to gain as much as $300 free weekly groceries for life.

The first 1000 lucky members to sign up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no cost involved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be eligible for the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diamond Club which has the lower spend requirement and the highest rewards of the four club levels available.

In fact, Diamond Club members need only have an average weekly spend of $50 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; calculated in five-week periods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to achieve a 1.92 per cent at the end of each five week slot. In five years, the member has accumulated 100 per cent in discounts and qualifies for $300 free groceries every week for life, provided he or she has maintained the required spend.

But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t despair if you miss out on Diamond Club membership; there are three other levels which all offer free groceries when level requirements have been achieved.

However, membership across the four clubs is limited to 10,000 people in total.

With Farmer in the House committed to supporting the local community, it has extended loyalty benefits to local schools whose families become online shoppers with the company.

The rewards can be substantial depending on the size of the school, and the numbers of families who sign up for online shopping.

For example, in a school where 375 of its families spend an average of $100 a week on groceries from Farmer in the House, the school can receive a rebate of as much as $3500 per week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one way schools can gain funds for much-needed projects and no one loses out,â&#x20AC;? says Shane McDonald, managing director of Farmer in the House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rebates of 2.5% to 10% from customer spending go to the school, a real bonus when we know government funding is often limited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am presently talking to local schools about the scheme but if anyone wants to know more now I welcome their call.â&#x20AC;?

S.M.H. HAIR STUDIO

Kidz First benefits

COLOUR SPECIAL

M

ANY thousands of young people’s lives are going to benefit from a Rotary club’s fundraising power.

The Rotary clubs of Half Moon Bay and Howick held their annual yacht regatta in March, the 30th time the event has been run.

Individuals or companies pay for a spot aboard one of up to 30 yachts, with between six to 12 people on the deck of each vessel.

Since 1986, the regatta has raised more than $1.5 million for various charities.

The Half Moon Bay Rotary club had $7500 to donate to its chosen charity after this year’s running.

“We decided earlier in the year that our charity of choice was going to be Kidz First,” says club president John Davidson.

A matching grant was received from the Harold Thomas Trust, which supports children’s health projects.

Together with the proceeds of an auction held during the regatta, the Half Moon Bay Rotarians were able to cover the $17,000 cost of a new beraphone for Kidz First, which was presented at a club meeting last month.

Beraphones are used to test the hearing of newborns, which can be done from the time they are only a couple of hours old.

“The reason that is important is that any hearing deficit or deafness can be identified right at the beginning of life,” says Middlemore Foundation community relations and fundraising officer Joanne Hand.

“The beraphone sends a click and as the sound travels through the different parts of the baby’s ear and bounces back, it will show

if the sound is moving through the parts it is supposed to or not.

“They do another test at three months to confirm if the baby’s hearing is 100 per cent okay. If not, between that three and six month period the doctors can do things to help with the hearing.

“If the baby can’t hear because it isn’t tested and detected, it affects that child’s whole life. The

whole developmental process is complicated from not being able to hear.”

The new beraphone is the first of three that needed to be purchased after the Government mandated a particular model to be used across all District Health Boards.

Around 8000 babies are born at Kidz First every year, and a beraphone has a shelf life of around eight years.

“If you think about it, 8000 babies for eight years is 64,000 lives that will be serviced because of a lovely fundraising event the Rotary club have put on,” says Ms Hand.

Mr Davidson says: “It’s fantastic to be able to present something that is going to be of use on a dayto-day basis.

“We’re absolutely delighted to be able to do something positive for our community.”

Bus shelter designs ready

Your life, your lifestyle

YOUR CHOICE

With a choice of Independent Apartments, Villas, Serviced Apartments and a Rest Home, Pakuranga Park Village now has something for everyone.

A NEW design for Auckland bus shelters has been finalised.

During July and August last year Auckland Transport asked for public feedback on three new bus shelter designs trialled on Symonds Street, Auckland central.

Public feedback helped AT gauge how the community felt about the trial designs, says AT group manager Mark Lambert, “and gave us some ideas how to make Auckland’s new bus shelter even more appealing to bus users”.

Designs were assessed against a range of criteria, such as public feedback, value for money, customer comfort, durability and ease of construction.

The final choice, he says, is attractive, adaptable,

KERATIN

innovative, safe and comfortable.

“The new shelter will help to create a more recognizable bus network and it will make life much more pleasant for everyone who uses the buses.”

The shelter is a modular system so it can be configured to reflect local settings by

using different sizes and layouts, building the shelter out of materials that reflect local character and attaching or inscribing art work on the shelter.

The new shelter will gradually be rolled out across the SuperCity from the middle of this year.

Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park (1993), Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. After 10 years of operation and visitor rates declining, in order to fulfill a corporate mandate, a new attraction is created to re-spark visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest, which backfires horribly.

Speech by Education Minister Hekia Parata to the NZ Initiative launch of Un(ac)countable

F

IRSTLY Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to acknowledge Oliver Hartwich and Rose Patterson. Thank you for inviting me to the launch of the New Zealand Initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report on maths education, I think.

As the Minister of Education speaking at the launch of a report that is critical of the education system I confess to feeling a little like Marie Antoinette approaching the guillotine.

From the outset I would say there are some ďŹ ndings I agree with your researchers on, and some about which I possess less certainty.

The things about which we agree include the critical importance of young New Zealanders getting a good education, and needing to do a better job of giving our young a solid grounding in mathematics.

Whatever we end up doing in later life, basic maths is a skill we all need â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for those my age to balance our cheque books, for the younger generation to reconcile the incomings and outgoings in their online bank accounts, to pay the power bill, to do the weekly shopping, and so on.

Our hope and expectation is that many of our young who develop these basic skills will go on to develop higher level skills that will lead to rewarding careers for them and the creation of job opportunities for their fellow New Zealanders.

Research shows that those are exactly the skills that the majority of young New Zealanders leave school with. However, a series of reports including PISA and our recently released National Monitoring study have shown that the system is failing a minority of our students.

Your report attributes much of that failing to a change in the way maths was taught about 15 years ago.

That change, which was in line with international thinking at the time, saw teachers devote less time to drilling the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;basicsâ&#x20AC;? of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and more time to mathematical thinking and problem solving strategies.

As someone who grew up singing the times tables in class I have some sympathy for that point of view. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain the theory of relativity, but I can calculate the cost of half a dozen tins of tomatoes and work out how much change I should be given when I buy a book.

However, attractive though the Initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thesis is to people of my generation, a couple of things need to be borne in mind.

One is that this is a continuation of an age-old debate in education between those who believe in rote

learning and those who place a higher value on critical thinking.

The same debate is apparent in reading between those who advocate the use of phonics and those who champion whole language learning and in writing between those who stress the importance of structure and those who think nothing should be allowed to constrain studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; creative processes.

The other is that the impact of deemphasising the importance of role learning strategies is not clear cut.

Yes, the performance of New Zealand students in international maths assessments has declined slightly in recent years. But the data shows that students whose teachers participated in the Advanced Numeracy Development Programme achieved signiďŹ cantly better in the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) than students whose teachers did not.

The truth is that basic subtraction,

Bible in schools

THE BIBLE is a unique book â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it tells how the earth began when it began and tells us how it will end.

It begins with the ďŹ rst book called Genesis and ends with the last book called Revelation. It is a love story of a King who wants to share His love with others and yet leave them the deďŹ ning choice in who they would love â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the King or the World.

That decision determines where they will spend their eternal life.

This book has been on the bestsellers list for decades. There are more Bibles printed than any other known book. Why should this be?

This book gives clear instructions on how to live a purposeful and productive life here on earth and what to expect afterwards. Just like the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual for operating and maintaining your car.

The 40 different authors that make up the Bible were all inspired by the King to write as He directed, and as Dr Chuck Missler (a US bible study advocate) comments â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it is an integrated message system from outside our time zoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

It records history, science, archaeology, moral values, and prophecy. Its educational value has been attested to throughout the centuries and is immense.

People like Sir Isaac Newton spent more time in the Bible than he did on his science, yet he is regarded as the father of modern science. So I ďŹ nd it pompous and deceptive of those who would deprive our young ones of being taught some of

Top s d n a r B S a le

addition, multiplication and division should not be a barrier to solving more complicated mathematical problems. Like changing gear with a manual shift, multiplying seven by eight or subtracting 11 from 20 should be something we do without conscious thought.

But we also need to help our students develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world it is not what you know that is important, but how you apply that knowledge that has value. The trick is striking the right balance between rote learning and higher order thinking. That is not easy.

The good news for me as Minister is that thanks to National Standards we now have a much clearer picture of our studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accomplishments and needs.

Instead of saying that 18-yearolds have a problem with maths, we can now say that Johnny, aged six, in room 12 at Te Aro Primary, has those beautiful truths tucked away in its pages.

As an older academic I can safely say having read and re-read it for more than 30 years, it is still revealing new secrets each time I turn its pages. The critics and sceptics display more ignorance than wisdom.

They seldom have studied or even read the scriptures which they criticise and despise. Let them alone, there is little to learn from them.

Ian George, Howick

Our family thanks you

MY MOTHER is 80 years of age but insists that she lives alone in her little two bedroom unit in Howick.

My brother visits her during the day to ensure she has taken her tablets. I visit her in the evening, and phone her three times day to ensure she has taken her medication.

I would dearly love her to live with me, but she loves her independence. Mum still drives and last week drove to Highland Park to purchase her food. She took out her eftpos card and could not remember the number. It must have been so stressful for my mother at the time, when her card was locked after three tries!

This lovely Chinese gentleman paid for my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groceries and my brother, husband and I are forever in debt to him. Thank you so much!

I would love to pay you this money back! Could you please contact Countdown and give your details to the manager there. I

a problem with maths. And, most importantly, we can do something about it before Johnny becomes convinced that maths is not for him.

That is why we, as a government that is committed to lifting the achievement level of every child, are gathering evidence of what works and what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, investing in successful maths programmes, investing in the professional development of teachers, making information for parents and whanau more accessible and easier to understand, and making it easier for schools and teachers to share mathematics expertise by facilitating the creation of communities of schools.

It is also why we have charged the Education Council, the new teacher professional body, with raising the status of the teaching profession.

As you will know not all of these measures are universally popular.

But one thing we do know for certain is that if we continue to do exactly thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you.

A healthy tolerance

HARVEY Rosieur (Times, June 4) feels I go too far in my comments concerning the reaction of some to a religious statue, as he argues that I disregard the Christian principles that underpin modern NZ. While I agree with some of his perspective, it is worth remembering that European history is littered with events such as the Spanish Inquisition, The Crusades and numerous religious wars that ignored values such as freedom, justice and mercy yet were often motivated by Christianity.

The fact that today we see such behaviour subdued in NZ and the rest of the Western World has more to do with the ideas promoted by The Enlightenment and the rise of reason in our societies than Christian ideals I think.

Also, his claim that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m religiously motivated seems strange, given that I was merely promoting the value of secularism, which is not a religion.

Secularists simply support and promote the principle of freedom of belief and also un-belief, that allows for multiple belief systems to co-exist in the same society.

This, more than Christianity, may account for the desire of many to come here, due to the healthy tolerance and protection that a truly secular state promotes for all.

Paul Bennett, Shelly Park

what we have always done, we will achieve exactly what we have always achieved. In an education system in which less than seven out of ten 18 year olds had NCEA Level 2 when we took ofďŹ ce that is not acceptable.

Since then we have lifted the achievement rate for 18 year olds from 68 to 81 per cent, but there is much more to be done. This government is committed to raising achievement levels for all students, both for their beneďŹ t and for that of the whole community. When kids do well we all do.

I would like to thank the Initiative for the invitation to be here and for a provocative and interesting contribution to a debate that is of vital importance not just to our children, but to all of us. â&#x2013; What do you think?

Do you need a new washing machine?

IF YOUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;RE thinking about buying a washing machine, Consumer Institute recommends several features that should be considered.

Â&#x2019; ES PcWZR Qcab][ aWhSR YWbQVS\a Ob aS\aWPZS ^`WQSa Â&#x2019; =c` ORdWQS O\R RSaWU\ aS`dWQS Wa T`SS ]T QVO`US Â&#x2019; 1O`^S\b`g aS`dWQS OdOWZOPZS

Machine size

Price

Most washing machines wash clothes well, Consumer says. But there can be big differences in the additional features they offer, and these affect the price. Higher price does not always equal better performance.

When buying a top loader, the extra money should buy a machine that will adjust the wash to match the load size and maybe even the fabric. This can mean lower energy costs, lower water use and even lower fabric wear, with the convenience of not having to worry about choosing a cycle.

Paying more for front-loading models generally means more features, such as spin speeds and electronic controls.

Cycle time

Top loaders are generally much faster than front loaders on the normal cycle.

But, all machines have a range of cycle times to choose from. Most front loaders have fast wash cycles that come close to matching the time taken by top loaders on the normal cycle.

Vibrating floorboards

Concrete floors cope best with the extra weight and vibrations of a front loader, but most manufacturers say that standing a front loader on a tim-

Buying second-hand

Warmer water makes most detergents more effective. So for extremely dirty loads, a warm wash should result in cleaner clothes.

PHONE THE PROFESSIONALS Ph Mike 021 931 261

Many models have an out-of-balance correction function. If the load gets too unevenly distributed during the wash, the machine will stop, tumble or agitate gently to re-arrange the load, and start again. This is a valuable feature when putting a load on overnight to throw on the line before going to work.

Cold washes

Out of balance

Machines with a spin speed of 1000 rpm will remove a good amount of water, cutting down on drying time.

But faster spin speeds can mean more creasing (and possibly more ironing).

Look for a model that allows for selecting the spin speed independently from the wash cycle.

Cold washes are good for the environment and most laundry detergents are formulated to work in 15-20 degrees C cold water. But some front-loading models canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a genuine cold wash.

Several models in Consumerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s test could only do a 30 degree C wash when set on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;cottonsâ&#x20AC;? wash cycle which is close to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;warmâ&#x20AC;? setting on many machines.

In an extremely cold climate, some machines will do a â&#x20AC;&#x153;controlled coldâ&#x20AC;? wash where a small amount of hot water is used to lift the wash temperature to about 20 degrees C. This helps the detergent dissolve properly.

ber floor shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause damage to the floor, providing it is in good condition, is level and can hold the machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight. Also the machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet must be adjusted properly and stabilise automatically.

To prevent scratches on polished timber flooring, a non-slip mat is useful under the machine.

If the floorboards are in poorer condition, Consumer says some manufacturers advise putting a panel under the machine to distribute its weight evenly.

Miele goes further, recommending screwing the panel through the floorboards into as many floor joists as possible to help minimise vibration. The manufacturer also suggests putting the machine in a corner where the floor is most stable.

Almost all washing machines have a wash cycle that is suitable for washing woollen items labelled as machine washable. It may be called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;woolâ&#x20AC;? cycle or another wash cycle, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;delicatesâ&#x20AC;? may be adapted by shortening the wash time, lowering the spin speed and/or setting the water temperature to warm.

Some front loaders have an extragentle cycle for items labelled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hand wash onlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, including woollens. It may be called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;handwashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;handwash/ woollensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This feature is not available in top-loading machines as they are typically not gentle enough.

Washing machines often get heavy use so if buying second-hand, newer is better.

Consumer recommends only buying if the machine looks tidy and well cared for. Fisher & Paykel is the most common second-hand brand, but they can be expensive to repair.

Stick to well-known reliable brands.

And buy a machine thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less than five years old. It will be easier to get parts if anything needs fixing.

Second-hand front loader?

Check the door seal is intact and the door shuts properly, Consumer says.

Under the Electricity Act, all electrical appliances for sale must be safe, whether they are new or second-hand, bought privately or from a dealer.

Check that all connecting and drainage hoses are intact and in good condition.

If a machine bought from a secondhand dealer is discovered to be faulty, the householder is covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act. There is no cover for private sales.

Most people buy machines of about 5.5kg capacity. But a larger model is recommended for a mid-size to larger family. Many 7kg models will fit in the standard 600mm wide space in a laundry. A larger-capacity machine with auto-water-level sensing is as good a choice as a smaller-capacity model as it will adjust water levels to match the load.

Some washing machines are not as big as they claim, Consumer says. If a washer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle a full load properly, or the clothes get clogged on the agitator, or it regularly goes out of balance during spin cycles, householders should complain to the retailer.

The Consumer Guarantees Act says a product must be fit for its purpose.

If an 8kg machine washes only 6kg of clothes, there is a right to get it fixed or replaced, or to be reimbursed.

HomeStart programme promoted for Botany A

GOVERNMENT road show explaining the new KiwiSaver HomeStart programme arrives in South-East Auckland at the end of this month.

Nick Smith, the Minister for Housing and Building, will present the road show and encourages interested members of the public and people who can qualify for the scheme to attend the event at Ormiston College on June 30.

Botany MP Jami-Lee Ross, who will support Dr Smith, says the road show is aimed at firsthome buyers and their families, as well as industry stakeholders who can inform their customers about the advantages of the scheme.

HomeStart, Dr Smith says, is the most generous Government support for first-home buyers in more than a generation.

“It’s part of our plan to reverse the long-term decline in New Zealand’s rate of home ownership.

“The debate on home ownership is hottest in Auckland, but census data shows that home ownership has been in decline throughout New Zealand over the past 30 years.

“We have deliberately designed the HomeStart scheme so that it also provides assistance across the country.”

FIRST HOME BUYERS: A road show will be held to help people qualifying for a new Government finance programme.

Times file photo

Mr Ross says the support package will help more firsthome buyers in Botany and South-East Auckland achieve their dream of owning their own home.

The KiwiSaver HomeStart package came into effect on April 1 and involves three changes.

The KiwiSaver First Home

deposit subsidy with a KiwiSaver HomeStart grant doubles the support for buying a new house and increases the price limits.

It enables larger KiwiSaver First Home withdrawals by including the member’s tax credit. Consequently first-home buyers will be able to withdraw all their KiwiSaver savings except the $1000 kick-start.

PROMOTION of Auckland as a design-led city at a recent summit in Los Angeles is welcomed by the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects (NZILA).

The Tripartite Economic Alliance Summit in Los Angeles, hosted by Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti, was attended by Auckland Mayor Len Brown and the Mayor of Guangzhou, along with business leaders and companies from the three cities.

STEP 2

STEP 1

The theme, Innovation – Commercialism and Connectivity, explored a range of subjects including renewable energy, transportation and infrastructure, of which architects and landscape architects have a keen interest in promoting.

NZILA president Shannon Bray says the meeting was a chance to support Auckland Council in the promotion of design-led outcomes for the advancement of the Super

City.

“The NZILA supports Auckland’s widely-shared vision to become the world’s most liveable city and believes that this can be achieved through high standards of urban spatial design and architecture.”

Mr Bray attended the summit as joint representative of NZILA and the New Zealand Institute of Architects.

“It is important that as design professionals

Eligibility for Welcome Home Loans is expanded by aligning the house price caps with the new KiwiSaver HomeStart grant.

Nationally the package is projected to help 90,000 people into home ownership over the next five years, at a $435 million cost.

Mr Ross says a couple in Botany, each earning $50,000 a year, will be able to withdraw $35,000 from their KiwiSaver account and qualify for a HomeStart grant of $20,000, giving them a $55,000 deposit towards a new home with no other extra savings.

“They will be eligible for the expanded Welcome Home Loans scheme which requires only a 10 per cent deposit, meaning they will be able to purchase a home up to the value of $550,000.”

Dr Smith says the Government is working with local councils to free up more land faster, as well as reducing building costs, reining in infrastructure and compliance costs and investing in sector skills and productivity.”

■■ The KiwiSaver HomeStart Roadshow is open to the public at 7pm on June 30 at the Ormiston Senior College auditorium, 275 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush. we work with Auckland Council to find innovative and creative solutions to the city’s transportation and infrastructure needs,” he says.

The collaborative involvement of members of the architecture and landscape architecture professions in the design of future Auckland projects, such as the City Rail Link, future Harbour Crossing and public open spaces is crucial to the enhancement of the city, Mr Bray says.

“Together we can create a city that is both enjoyable to live in and functional to travel across.”

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, June 11, 2015 — 33

ENROL NOW

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!”

Podium trio I

T WAS an all-Saint Kentigern College podium in the senior girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; category of the Auckland secondary schools cross-country championships.

At times, the St Kents trio of Isabella Richards, Hanna English and Grace Wood were the only runners in sight on the 4km course at A&P Showgrounds in Pukekohe last week.

Isabella was first in 16m 24s, with Hanna 24 seconds behind and Grace finished just under 17 minutes, 10 seconds clear of fourth.

This meant the three-person team

gold medal was a fait accompli, and together with Katherine Chang, Melissa McNaughtan and Lauren Hendrickson St Kents also won the six-person event.

In the junior (under-14) boys, Dylan McCullough was narrowly edged for the gold medal by just three seconds.

Macleansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Trent Dodds was third in the intermediate (under-16) boys and schoolmate Leo Roper was third in the 6km senior boys.

The national secondary school championships are on June 20 in Dunedin.

Sports bites Succeeding States-side Tyneesha Houkamau, formerly of Pakuranga, has been named as the most valuable player on the 2015 Western Junior College Athletic Conference softball team in the United States.

The ex-Pakuranga College student was also named as the utility player in the national junior college athletic association (NJCAA) all division one first team.

The NJCAA is the national governing body for two-year college athletics, covering junior college and community colleges.

A sophomore on the Midland College Lady Chaparrals squad, Tyneesha played infield and catcher and also had an 11-0 record as pitcher with an earned run average of 1.33.

She also starred with the bat, averaging .506 at the plate with three home runs and 57 runs batted in.

Before leaving NZ, Tyneesha lad Pakuranga College to the national girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; secondary school softball title and has represented the White Sox, debuting as a teenager.

Up for awards HOWICK Bowling Club is leading the way with a whopping nine nominations for the Auckland Bowls Awards.

Point Chevalier has the next most with five nominations.

Howick has at least one nominee in five of the eight categories.

Howickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomineeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are: official of the year: Bill Day and Joy Baughan; personality: Fleming Andersen, Ken McIntyre, Gary Finnemore; coach: Harry Williams; volunteer: Matt Pirie; and also for overall club of the year.

Collins inspires â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Canes H

AVING thrashed the depleted Highlanders 56-20, the Hurricanes have the inspiration to go all the way and win their ďŹ rst Super 15 rugby crown because of the Jerry Collins factor.

The tragic death of Collins and his partner in France served to give the table-topping Hurricanes their best win during a season in which they have won 13 of their 15 games for 62 competition points, 14 more than the Chiefs and Highlanders on 48.

Although the Hurricanes and Chiefs have had lineout woes, each has a competitive forward pack in other aspects, along with a formidable defence and an exciting attack.

Their clash at New Plymouth on Saturday night should be a thriller, even if fans will be robbed of the prospect of seeing Sonny Bill Williams mark his comeback game against Maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;a Nonu who is being rested.

Nonuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to the Hurri-

canes after stints with the Blues and Highlanders has been pure gold for his old team, as has the new coaching combination of Chris Boyd and John Plumtree.

With TJ Perenara having bagged nine tries and Beauden Barrett making a timely return from injury, the Hurricanes backs are capable of brilliance with Nonu and Conrad Smith forming a classy midďŹ eld combination to serve dangerous wings Julian Savea and Nehe Milner-Skudder.

Milner-Skudder offers much the same attacking thrust that made Christian Cullen such a dynamic performer.

Equally at home on the wing and fullback, his change of pace, sidestep and sweetlytimed pass mark him as someone special.

Winning an All Black starting berth at fullback or on the wing is no easy task with Ben Smith, Waisake Naholo and Savea also in top form. But Milner-Skudder remains a worthy candidate,

sam, Sam Cane and Michael Leitch spearheaded an outstanding defence against the Reds and NZ Maori captain and Chiefs centre Charlie Ngatai is an unheralded champion.

The Crusaders consolation for not making the play-offs will probably be a big All Black representation in the team to play Samoa in Apia on July 8.

It will be more than they deserve given the fact they are eighth on the table going into Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in Canberra against the sixth-placed Brumbies.

Still, it was good to see Richie McCaw and Carter hit their straps in their 34-11 win against John Kirwanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experimental Blues, who sit a lowly 14th going into tomorrow nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home game against the Highlanders.

if not this year then next.

While the Hurricanes look the most likely team to threaten the defending champion Waratahs in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super 15, the Chiefs should not be discounted.

Ravaged with injuries, Brodie Retallickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return from shoulder problems last week in their 24-3 win against the Reds was timely although understandably heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far from his best.

Neither is Sonny Bill Williams likely to be when he fronts the Hurricanes on Saturday night although the absence of Nonu should make his task easier.

Although prone to conceding too many stupid penalties, the Chiefs have character, plenty of depth and an outstanding coaching staff led by Dave Rennie.

here are two rather popular claims of the gluten-free (GF) diet which include weight loss and increased energy levels. However, there may be other reasons why individuals experience those benefits, and may not be fully aware of the risks involved.

Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible some individuals may lose weight when beginning a GF diet, but it also depends on what foods they use to replace those with gluten. For example, replacing wheat flour with potato starch will not result in weight loss, but replacing white bread with quinoa or another highfibre grain may. Claims of increased energy levels when adopting a completely GF diet are abundant.

A likely explanation for this claim may be that the individual is unintentionally consuming more fruits and vegetables, rather than high-calorie, high-fat and processed foods. Studies have yet to prove that eliminating gluten leads to increased energy levels.

Then there are also the associated risks with following a gluten-free diet. Avoiding grains means you are eating fewer foods enriched with nutrients, which may lead to deficiencies in iron, calcium, thiamine, riboflavin, and folate.

There are also hidden costs of going gluten free. Foods and products that are GF tend to be more expensive and are usually harder to come by.

Adopting a GF diet is not an easy change. It takes time and dedication. You must pay close attention to food labels. If a product does not have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;glutenfreeâ&#x20AC;? claim then you must contact the manufacturer directly to be sure. Proceed with caution.

Heading for home base

By DANIEL SILVERTON

D

EPARTING premier women’s team coach Travis Owen is leaving a sizeable hole at Howick Softball Club.

Owen was a professional coach in the United States before joining Howick last year, to broaden his softball experience.

“I knew all about the Black Sox and knew it would be a once-ina-lifetime opportunity to be a part of the game over here and observe the best players in the world,” he said at the time.

As well as being in charge of Howick’s premier women’s team, he took on a developmental role running the off-season academy and giving individual coaching to members across the club.

He led Howick to fifth in the Auckland Fastpitch Championship and eighth in the national club competition, the same result as the previous year. ‘”We were aiming for better,” he says. “Top four [in Auckland] was our goal and we just missed it. We were close and had some really good wins.”

Along the way though, Howick accounted for the national champions Marist and runners-up Western Magpies.

“That was a great feat for us. “[Howick] hadn’t beat Magpies since any of the players could remember.

“They believed they could beat

them and that’s the number one thing. That was a real positive.”

Getting to attend the Oceania series between the Black Sox, Australia and Samoa in December was the highlight of his time in New Zealand.

“Watching the best team in the world, that was awesome.

“The Black Sox and the top men’s club level surpassed what I was expecting.

“I had seen it on YouTube and seen some good teams play, but not to the depth of what is here.

“There is a great pitcher on every [club] team. All the top club teams have pitchers who have the potential to make the Black Sox. “That was really cool to see.”

Owen was looking into remaining in NZ and was negotiating with Howick about renewing his visa.

However, he has decided to return to his hometown in Colorado to set up a coaching business.

“When I got to NZ, I thought it would be sweet to live here for good.

“I was definitely considering that.

“When it came down to it, the biggest reason [to leave] was my drive to do my own business and have that freedom. ➤ Turn to Page 34 FOND MEMORIES: Howick Softball Club’s premier women’s coach Travis is returning to the United States.
