WHAT A STINKER!

T

HE owner of a drain unblocking and septic tank cleaning business has been issued with a warning under the Health Act by Auckland Council after a storm water cesspit liquid spill ďŹ&#x201A;ooded through the boundary fence to a neighbouring lifestyle block in Whitford.

Problems started on Easter Saturday morning when plumber Perry Coleman, accustomed to the smell of sewage, discovered that about 3000-4000 litres of what he thought was raw sewage had been discharged on the boundary fence line and ran through to a block of native bush at the rear of his Whitford Road property. He

believes the incident occurred under cover of darkness on Good Friday.

Among the photos he took the following day was one of his neighbour Philip Abernethyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tanker parked at the discharge site with its number plate clearly visible.

He phoned Auckland Council and a contamination and environmental pollution ofďŹ cer visited on April 7.

He was told he would be contacted once the investigation was completed.

Meanwhile he sent a six-day-old sample of the efďŹ&#x201A;uent to Watercare Environmental Services which returned a 59,000 faecal MPVA/G count.

He also emailed the council ofďŹ cer saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesterday you came out to our property and investigated where

our neighbour had emptied his truck load of (probably raw sewage) down the back of our property and it also ďŹ&#x201A;owed across into our native bush.

The stench of this at the time was disgusting and is simply unacceptable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This drain unblocking and septic tank emptying is his business and he should not be bringing it back here to his Whitford property to dump illegally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like him prosecuted for this as he has done it before on the other side of his property draining into a property off Griggs Road.â&#x20AC;?

When nothing happened Mr Coleman contacted the Times and phoned the ofďŹ cer again shortly before the Times visited his property.

He was told that Mr Abernethyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s explanation was that the spill was an accident and no further action was being taken.

Mr Coleman told the Times I am disappointed that the council will not do anything else.

The Times asked the council whether it was taking no further action or still considering prosecuting? Was the faecal count of concern?

In a report on the incident Marcus Herrmann, the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager, regional environmental control, environmental health says the council carried out a further site visit and held discussions with the customer who raised the concern. â&#x17E;¤ Turn to Page 3

F A pin had been dropped it would have been heard as the son of Kiwi icon Sir Edmund Hillary related his experience of the recent devastating Nepalese earthquake to a captivated assembly of Macleans College students.

Peter Hillary and his sister, Sarah, were special guests at the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hillary House to receive a cheque for $12,000, the most the house had ever raised for the Hillary familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Himalayan Trust.

The money was raised as the result of a school-wide campaign in the wake of the massive April 25 earthquake that hit the Himalayan nation.

If anyone had advertised a trip to the Himalayas, including an earthquake, no-one would have taken it up, Mr Hillary told the Times after addressing the special assembly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in Nepal with a group of my old school friends from Kings College when the earthquake struck,â&#x20AC;? he told the students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were all 60 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was Anzac Day and we were in a Sherpa village at 4900 metres, a long way up the mountain,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were up at dawn and had our Anzac ceremony. The great thing about the ceremony in New Zealand and Australia is that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t celebrate war rather the ceremony memorialises its cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The message is, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go, the cost of war is too great and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we were doing on the mountain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We set off in the falling snow and assembled at 5100 metres at three little stone lodges. We all had cups of tea and hot lemon and it was coming up to midday when the great earthquake struck.

GENEROSITY ACKNOWLEDGED: Jessica Russell, centre, the instigator of a Macleans College fund-raising drive in the wake of the devastating earthquake in Nepal, poses in the shadow of the late Sir Edmund Hillary with his children Sarah and Peter who received a $12,000 cheque from the school for the Himalayan Trust.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was scale 7.8, it was massive. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see for the cloud and falling snow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt like the whole of the Himalayas were coming to pieces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ran outside, staring into the cloud and snowflakes and eventually the shaking stopped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we could hear an intense roaring, like 100 freight trains coming down the mountain to the north above us. We realised that they were avalanches as the roaring went on and on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked along the flat valley and suddenly saw a huge cloud filled with ice particles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a blast of ice swirling into view and I yelled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;get back insideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

We ran back in and the landscape went white, covered in ice particles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew it was no good trying to visit base camp. For all we knew the quake was centred on where we were. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as we headed down the valley we saw the destruction everywhere, the ends of some buildings had fallen off and then we saw the destruction in Kathmandu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eventually we heard as the toll of human life kept ratcheting up. Now we know nearly 9000 people lost their lives, 30,000 were injured and about eight million had damaged or lost their homes and are living outside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now the monsoon is

starting and they will be living under dripping tarpaulins.â&#x20AC;?

The Himalayan Trust, he said, had started delivering tarpaulins and emergency shelters and was in the process of organising for new earthquake-strengthened school structures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The locals are working on rebuilding their homes, but we want to rebuild the schools, little hospitals and clinics.

He told the students their generosity was â&#x20AC;&#x153;incredibleâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank-you for the incredible fund-raising you have done,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally, I and Sarah enjoy this long meaningful association with Hillary House and Macleans. It is always nice to come back.â&#x20AC;?

Prayer service for nine killed in shooting A PRAYER service is to be held in Burswood to remember the shooting deaths of nine people at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina.

Rev Dr Richard Waugh, chairman of Auckland Church Leaders and national superintendent of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of New Zealand, said the

â&#x20AC;˘ Funerals arranged to your requirements and financial circumstances at the venue of your choice. â&#x20AC;˘ A modern chapel, fully airconditioned.

prayer service was to be inclusive and open to the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have all been horrified by the recent Charleston tragedy at the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only last year at a World Methodist conference, I got to know an AME bishop well and over the weekend I learned that one

of those who died, DePayne Doctor, was employed by one of my own (Wesleyan) denominationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s universities.

Rev Waugh consulted with a range of people at the weekend, including North American families who live in this area. He has organised an ecumenical (across the churches) prayer service at East City Wesleyan Church

on Thursday, July 2 at 7.30pm â&#x20AC;&#x153;to pray for the Charleston situation and for peace and reconciliation around the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and in Aotearoa New Zealandâ&#x20AC;?. The service would be made up of a welcome, statement of occasion, hymns/songs, devotion, and several people offering prayers from different churches.

Row over cesspit liquid Times photo Wayne Martin

DUMP MESS: Perry Coleman views an area covered in soil and hay as a precaution after storm water cesspit liquid spilled through the boundary fence onto his property; below, photographic evidence of a smelly spill, but the perpetrators dispute that it ran onto their neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property.

Photo supplied / Perry Coleman

â&#x17E;¤â&#x17E;¤From page 1 Officers attending the property questioned the owner about the liquid and were advised that it was not actually sewage waste from septic tanks; rather it came from storm water cesspits that had been cleaned out.

They noted that the smell from the liquid was quite faint and did not have the odour characteristic of sewage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residues from animal faeces do commonly wash into the storm water system, and elevated microbe counts in the storm water system are not uncommon, without sewage spills being implicated,â&#x20AC;? Mr Herrmman says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The situation was discussed with the property owner and a warning was issued to him under the Health Act 1956. The open area where the liquid was discharged was covered in soil and hay as a precaution.

At that time, an environmental health assessment was carried out and no further action was deemed necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an owner-operator, Mr Abernethy may run his work vehicle to and from his home, however he does not have the necessary consents for the disposal of sewage sludge on his property and he has been clearly advised of that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Disposal of sewage sludge is defined as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offensive Tradeâ&#x20AC;? under the Health Act 1956, for which specific permission under the Act or resource consent is required. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No such consent is in place and if sewage were able to be proven to be disposed of on site, it would be regarded seriously by the council and can be dealt with sternly under current rules and legislation if required.â&#x20AC;?

The Times asked Mr Abernethy to comment on the events that lead to the council investigation.

His partner, Antoinette Powle says it is incorrect that a warning has been issued under the Health Act 1956 as there has been no communication from the council since mid-April.

She disputes that pictures taken include spill on the neighbouring property and confirms that hay

Perry Coleman is concerned that such spillages are potentially a cost to the Mangemangeroa catchment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have 200-300-yearold trees here on my bush including kahikatea and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want my trees killed with sewage spilling through.â&#x20AC;?

Both his and Mr Abernethyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property are in the catchment which has strict resource consent rules about soil and silt movement. They also overlook one of the tributaries flowing into the Mangemangeroa Estuary.

Chairman of the Friends of Mangemangeroa (FOM) Allan Riley says the allegation that someone is dumping sewage (probably from septic tanks) within the Mangemangeroa catchment â&#x20AC;&#x153;comes as a great shock to usâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is totally counter to the bush restoration work that the

Delivery turns awry A studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nerves were rattled when she crashed into a delivery truck on her way to school on Tuesday morning.

The crash occurred at 8.15am on Hutchinsons Road, Bucklands Beach when the student drove her black Hyundai sedan into a parked red Davis Food Ingredients delivery truck which was believed to be delivering to a nut roasting business.

Davis Food Ingredients sales director Daniel Coates says the driver was not in the vehicle at the time of the collision and was parked legally.

Mr Coates believes the accident was due to sun strike and says it was unfortunate for the girl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was minimal damage to the truck but I believe the ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car was quite extensively damaged.â&#x20AC;?

local community undertakes in the Mangemangeroa Reserve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The subsequent increase in bird life is an end benefit.

The estuary is also a staging point for migratory birds and supports native fish within its upper catchment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sedimentation and oxygen depleting sewage run-off would place wildlife and this fresh water environment under more stress,â&#x20AC;? he says.

The risk of faecal pollution getting down into the estuary is serious enough, Mr Riley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That this may not be the first occasion when such dumping is alleged to have happened is something else. It suggests that a serial offender is at work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Friends unreservedly encourage Auckland Council to fully investigate this alleged non-conforming activity.

Then, if the sewage dumping

A resident who did not want to be named says the Macleans College student did not see the truck which she says was parked half a metre away from the curb.

The stay-at-home mum says it was only a matter of time before something like this would happen with the food business set up about a year ago.

She says complaints have been made to Auckland Council to stop the commercial operation due to a strong nut smell and the heavy thoroughfare but to no

and topsoil was placed around the area to absorb and cover it.

However, when the Times visited the site, evidence of a spill onto Mr Colemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property was still evident, along with the hay and soil covering through the fence.

Ms Powle says hoses were stored in the shed at the bottom of the property and, when one was disconnected to load onto the truck, some liquid did come out, but it was not effluent, rather from when the truck had done cesspit cleaning at Auckland University.

She says at no time since the truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to the property, two weeks before the council was called, was the truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vacuum motor started which it would need to be if disposing waste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no idea why our neighbour has gone to this level when there simply was nothing,â&#x20AC;? Ms Powle says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also surprised that at no time when any land sample was taken that the council havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considered where our septic tank irrigation line runs to as it actually runs directly towards the area concerned.â&#x20AC;? allegation is considered to be proven, we would expect the full weight of the law to be exercised by the council against any offenders.â&#x20AC;?

The Times asked the council whether it intended to check out the tributary for possible leaching and, if damage was found, what route could it take to prosecute?

Mr Herrmman says there was no evidence of the liquid reaching the estuary and therefore no need for further intervention or investigation.

Bacteria are inactivated after exposure to the UV in sunlight after a relatively short period in any case.

If people have concerns about sewage sludge on any property, or anything they think may be hazardous to health, they should contact the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24-hour pollution hotline on 377-3107.

buzz: The new substation is to cope with growing demand.

Substation going live Vectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new zone substation at Flat Bush will be livened next month.

The substation grounds and the buildings are complete, with electrical installation work underway.

This new substation has been built to answer the growing demand for power in the Flat Bush area, a region of Auckland undergoing intense development. Around 36,000 people will call Flat Bush home by 2025.

Internet blackout WHILE floods ravaged Whanganui, more than 100 East Auckland homes were left in a communications black hole last weekend.

Phone and internet services were disrupted at the start of the weekend which has been reported by other media as a fault with the Chorus fibre network which is outsourced to internet service provider, Spark. Crew worked throughout the weekend to fix the fault and, by Monday, most of the households had their connections back up and running.

BNZ submissions open BNZ is once again shutting up shop for a day and sending its staff into east Auckland to work with community groups â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and project submissions are open from this week.

Closed for Good will see the bank shut each of its stores on September 2 and up to 5500 BNZ staff will get stuck- in, helping community organisations around New Zealand.

BNZ CEO Anthony Healy says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year in east Auckland there were 36 separate groups we helped, with 110 of our people putting in a good eight hour day.

Submissions are due by 24 July 2015.

Crash stops traffic A crash during peak traffic on a busy highway led to locals stuck in a jam for more than an hour last Thursday evening.

The collision between a Howick & Eastern Bus and a car occurred just before 6pm on Waipuna Bridge between the South-Eastern Highway and Ti Rakau Drive. Traffic came to a standstill for those exiting the highway to access Pakuranga and Reeves Roads, and Ti Rakau Drive. Firefighters from the Mt Wellington Station, police and St John Ambulance paramedics were called to the scene.

The bus driver suffered a minor medical condition and was taken to hospital.

Although her toddler does not have a nut allergy, she says it could potentially spell trouble for other nearby residents including two early learning centres further down the road.

The drivers of both vehicles were uninjured and two fire appliances and Howick station fire fighters were called to the scene to free the vehicles.

Survival story shocks audience

By NATALIE BRITTAN

T

HE true story of a young girl who denied her own mother in order to survive tugged at the heartstrings of all who heard. It highlighted the atrocities of the Holocaust.

Last Friday students and staff of St Kentigern College sat down to listen to Shmuel and Frida (Fredja) Rothbard who survived the persecution of Nazi Germany during World War II. The couple in their 80s are in New Zealand as part of an educational tour around New Zealand organised by the Jewish Federation of New Zealand.

This is the fifth year of the Holocaust Educational Programme for Education (HOPE), and it was the first time St Kentigern College hosted the programme for Year 12 students as part of their history studies.

From the moment Mrs Rothbard began her gripping tale, the 60 students were transfixed.

She described how she had a normal, happy childhood before the age of five, and loved to play the violin and dance in her home in Gorzkow, East Poland.

Then the Nazis arrived in 1939, forcing the Jews into a ghetto in Izbica, where her father anticipated the family would die.

Her little brother was taken away to live elsewhere, and Fredja never saw him again.

Escaping, Fredja and her parents hid in the ground in a forest near the ghetto.

She says the conditions were horrible. “All the time I had to stay quiet, I could not speak and it was difficult to move.”

In the meantime, Fredja’s mother trained her to lie in the event of captivity and deny her Jewish identity because of her blond hair, blue-eyed

appearance.

Questioning if her mother did not love her, Fredja’s mother told her that it was “because that I so love you and I want you to begin a new life”.

One day, her father disappeared and Fredja and her mother were arrested by German patrol.

She did as she was told, saying her mother had died and her father was a war prisoner, and was separated from her mother.

Weeks later, Fredja saw her mother in her prison and nearly could not recognise her.

“Maybe she had lost her mind because she was so worried about me.”

She described the Jews being

Bright young voices

By NATALIE BRITTAN When two groups of singers take to the stage this Sunday, some in the audience will only have eyes for one young star.

Although she is Australian, 14-year-old Katerina (Kate) Collier is more than familiar with the All Saints Church in Howick, where she was christened and her parents David and Melanie Collier were married.

Kate’s mother, Mrs Collier, sang as a child and attended Howick College.

Proud grandparents and Cockle

Bay locals, Colin and Meryl Monk, will be in the audience as two choirs, the City of Auckland Singers (formerly the Bruce Murray Singers) and the Young Voices of Melbourne, join hands in making harmony.

Mrs Monk, a teacher at Bucklands Beach Intermediate, says Kate was always encouraged to sing.

“She’s done particularly well and her parents have always encouraged her. She plays the piano and cello, and is a swimmer too.”

Kate is a member of the Young

herded by the soldiers around the yard and shot one by one.

“It seemed like a game, like madness.”

Seeing her mother killed in front of her eyes, she lost consciousness.

From 1943-1946, Fredja lived in a Catholic convent, continuing to hide her identity.

She had embroidered her family name ‘Shtuden’ inside her clothes so she wouldn’t forget.

“I was sure I was the only Jewish girl left in the world,” she says.

She was rescued in 1946 by a lady called Marysia who was looking for Jewish children and with the help of Sister Irena, a nun who was later acknowledged as one of the Right-

eous, a title awarded to those who risked their lives to save Jews, in 1990.

After being shipped from camp to camp, Fredja finally reached Kibbutz Gan-Shmuel in Israel where she met her husband and where they still live today.

She worked as a beauty therapist, raising three adult children with five granddaughters.

Sixteen-year-old Abigail Faletoese describes the talk as a very intense experience.

“It was great to have the opportunity to hear their story and made me appreciate how lucky I am to not to have to go through that.”

Head of history studies Bridget

Anitelea found it extremely moving and powerful. “The thing for us was for our students to see it and actually hear it from the survivors which is more powerful than reading about it in a book.

“It’s about making history real, living history,” says Mrs Anitelea.

“I don’t think you can get it in a more powerful medium than that.”

■■ Shmuel and Fredja will be speaking at Macleans College next Thursday, July 2 at 9.30am and Pakuranga College on Friday, July 3 at 9.40am.

Voices of Melbourne choir which has toured internationally and performed Australia-wide for numerous key events including the Commonwealth Games in 2006.

In 2007, the choir won two sections of the Voyage of Song International Choir Competition in Thailand and conductor Mark O’Leary received the outstanding conductor award.

The group celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2010 with a gala concert at the Melbourne Recital Centre and a tour to Europe where it performed in Italy, Slovenia, Hungary and the United Kingdom.

Kate has also been selected to perform at the 2015 Victorian State Schools Spectacular set down

for September in the world class Hisense Arena in Melbourne.

During their trip to New Zealand, the Young Voices of Melbourne will perform at various venues around the country including Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown.

With such a full schedule, Kate will need to be in top form, something that she does naturally.

“She’s bubbly, bright, mad, excited and articulate. She can certainly hold her own,” says Mrs Monk.

■■ The City of Auckland Singers are hosting the Young Voices of Melbourne at a concert this Sunday, June 28, 2pm at All Saints Church, Howick. Entry by donation.

GIFTED: Kate Collier (bottom left) will be performing with, left to right, Imogen and Austin O’Leary-Quereshi, and Saskia Mascitti, of the Young Voices of Melbourne this Sunday.

With long ties to the Howick area, the iconic villager has built relationships with many families and generations that have stood the test of time.

HE HAS spent nearly half a century keeping time but for once in his life, Howick jeweller Jeff Honeybun will be adjusting to a slower pace with more time on his hands.

The timeless face of Jeff Honeybun Jewellers in Moore Street has been winding down the clock since he sold the well-known Howick fixture to Angela Russell at the end of last year.

Jeff says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swapped roles with Angela who began working for him 13 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now my boss! Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one working six days a week now!â&#x20AC;?

Angela says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things are ticking along just fine and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business as usual for some of us!â&#x20AC;?

The business is definitely keeping her even busier now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still see the same friendly faces of Frances and Jaime who have both worked for Jeff for several years too,â&#x20AC;? says Angela.

While Jeff is still in on Tuesdays and Thursdays â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;if people want to see meâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he definitely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be missing the long hours slogging away at intricate timepieces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing a bit of travelling, a bit of building, a bit of gardening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we have a big garden â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just a bit of everything, really,â&#x20AC;? he says.

In fact, exciting travel plans later this year will see the go-getting grandfather take a bite of the Big Apple in America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already been to the West Coast and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to see New York.â&#x20AC;?

Thousands raised from 250km endurance race

By Marianne Kelly

F

UNDS raised from a challenging trek through Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gobi desert have been boosted by the efforts of 25 children who ran a baking sale.

Last March local real estate agent, Alan Phillips, participated in a 250 kilometre endurance footrace through the Gobi, part of the 4 Deserts Race Series which includes Antarctica, the Sahara (Egypt) and the Atacama (Chile).

He raised $3353 for Starship Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health and $1255.80 for The Parenting Place.

Last week he was presented with a cheque for $434 raised by the Room 2 Year 4 students at Elim Christian College junior campus which will be split between the two causes.

In preparation for the race, Mr Phillips told the children that, in training for the event he lost 22 kg in the four-hour runs he did nightly.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to do something that was so hard and difficult and achieve it to show others they also can do these things.â&#x20AC;?

The race base was in Hami, Xinjiang Province. Participants came from 40 countries, including five New Zealanders. They were instructed not to bother the locals and were accompanied by police escorts, he said.

The race climbed over rough terrain up to 400 metres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the beginning it was windy and I was not a happy chappie,â&#x20AC;? he told the children. Day two was the hardest, as snow started to fall and the runners flogged through ankle to knee-deep snow, also areas of huge boulders.

Support 4x4 vehicles were placed 10-12 kilometres apart which meant water stops were about three hours apart.

Temperatures rose to 35 degrees C and as high as 45 degrees by day five, Mr Phillips said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The highest temperature was

47 degrees C and our tents were blown down by a sandstorm,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last 10 kilometre stage had to be cancelled because the weather was so bad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I arrived back at our hotel smelly and stinky,â&#x20AC;? he said, presenting his unwashed race shirt to the children to observe the effects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this was something I had said one year ago that I might do, I would have said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not possibleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. But I have done it and made what I thought was impossible, possible.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Phillips challenged the Room 2 children to believe in themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can do anything if you apply yourself and go for it. You will be amazed at what you can achieve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cried while I was doing it, especially in stage three when I thought that I might not make the checkpoint in time and would be out of the race.â&#x20AC;?

should be destroyed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a risk to children on the property and if they can carry out a frenzied attack in one session, the chances of killing a child would be very high.â&#x20AC;?

The owners of the dogs took responsibility for the dogs which were missing and reported them of their own accord.

The fate of the dogs will be decided over the next few days.

Under the Dog Control Act 1996, the owner of a dog that attacks a person or animal can be fined up to $3000, and dogs that attack people, livestock, domestic animals and protected wildlife may be seized or destroyed.

Land owners have the legal right to shoot dogs that are threatening their livestock under the same act.

The uninjured lamb which has to be hand raised has been renamed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Luckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Mr Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children.

A long-time Whitford resident, Mr Robinson experienced a similar incident with his neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog about a year ago which has since been resolved.

Auckland Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog control service was notified and Mr Robinson, a father of two young children, posted his plight on social media after the incident, receiving great response.

He says the authorities need to take the incident seriously. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be honest, [the dogs]

Killer dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fate to be decided The vicious attackers of a flock of sheep in Whitford have now been located and their fate rests in the hands of the authorities.

A flock of sheep on a Whitford lifestyle block was viciously attacked by two dogs last week, leaving just one lamb unscathed.

Owner Mark Robinson says the large pitbull-like dogs, one brown and one white, intruded his property at about 9pm last Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We heard them at the last moment and scared them away but by that stage they had killed three sheep.â&#x20AC;?

Later that night, the dogs came back onto his land and killed a further five, two of which were pregnant, leaving five â&#x20AC;&#x153;basically chewed up but aliveâ&#x20AC;? including one pregnant ewe.

Another award for author

Lorraine Dodd

AKURANGA author Leonie Agnew has picked up another childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book award.

Ms Agnew won the Esther Glen Junior Fiction Award at the LIANZA (the NZ library association) Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Young Adultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Awards in Wellington.

The award was for her book Conrad Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Last Stand. I finished it in Dunedin when I was the University of Otagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resident childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writer in 2013,â&#x20AC;? said Ms Agnew after being presented with the award in Wellington last week ahead of four other finalists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really believe I won. There was strong competition and I was blown away upon hearing my name announced,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The Esther Glen medal is a huge deal for any New Zealand childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s author. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest running literary award for children and this was their 70th

anniversary.â&#x20AC;?

But more importantly, this award is given by LIANZA, the NZ library association, judged by people who live and breathe New Zealand books and who are our biggest supporters and champions.

Leonie is also a finalist for the NZ Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Awards which will be announced later in the year.

In 2013 she also won three awards when Super Finn was judged Best First Book, Best Junior Book and The Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice in her category.

Super Finn was published

by Scholastic as part of Leonieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prize for winning the Tom Fitzgibbon Award for a non published author.

Ms Agnew launched Conrad Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Last Stand on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day last year.

The daughter of Times sports columnist Ivan Agnew, Ms Agnew teaches year 2 pupils at St Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School in Kohimarama.

She began writing Conrad Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Last Stand, which is set in Auckland in 1978, about five years ago.

Ms Agnew, 38, put the finishing touches on the book while in the South Island in 2013 as the University of Otago School

of Education/Creative New Zealand childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writer in residence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a boy who believes Tane, the [mythological] Maori god of forests and birds, might be real,â&#x20AC;? she told the Times in a previous interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does things like plant a forest in his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backyard and kidnap all the local cats, because in Taneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes the cats catch the forestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birds.â&#x20AC;?

The idea for the 222-page bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story came from a lecture Ms Agnew attended by University of Auckland English literature professor Albert Wendt several years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He talked about what it means to identify with a different culture,â&#x20AC;? says the former Howick College pupil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that unusual today, but if you go back to the 1970s or early 1980s, for a boy to take an interest in a different culture in certain parts of New Zealand it would have been quite surprising.â&#x20AC;?

Vandals hit golf club MEMBERS of Howick Golf Club are fuming at an act of flagrant vandalism committed at their course. Around midnight on Saturday, June 6, two people entered the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grounds and broke into a pair of golf carts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They drove right to the end of the course, which is some distance,â&#x20AC;? says club secretary Annette Smart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The carts must have been bumping into each other because the hubcaps were

smashed, bumpers broken and tyres wrecked.â&#x20AC;?

Following the joyride, one cart was left upside down and the other was crashed front on into a wooden bench. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has caused thousands of dollars of damage,â&#x20AC;? says Ms Smart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The carts are out of action while they are being repaired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The members are pretty disappointed. They realise it will cost us and is an inconvenience. They are

upset at the damage caused by unoccupied young minds.â&#x20AC;?

Green keepers quickly repaired the minimal damage to the course and security for the remaining four carts has been increased.

Ms Smart says a neighbour

of the golf club saw two people in their teens or early 20s wearing hooded sweatshirts at the time of the vandalism. Anyone with information about the incident can call Howick Golf Club on 535-1001.

HE highly-anticipated test between the All Blacks and Manu Samoa on July 8 will really be an historic event and the spin-offs in the sporting, business and tourism industry will be huge. And, it will strengthen this countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close ties with Samoa.

I have just returned from three weeks in Samoa where rugby fever is at an all-time high. A local television channel is promoting the game there with three words - history, passion and pride.

The Samoans are likening the game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be played at the Apia Stadium on Wednesday July 9 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as a David v Goliath clash. About 20,000 spectators are expected at the game, most hotels on the main island of Upolu are booked out and both Air New Zealand and Virgin Samoa have put on extra flights for the event.

Air New Zealand will operate at an additional 59 per cent capacity (compared to the same period last year) between Auckland and Apia during the week of the game. Virgin Samoa has added six extra services to support the increased demand.

Flights have sold very well but there are still seats available to and from Samoa during this period.

New Zealand Rugby Union chairman Brent Impey said at the time the game was announced that it would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a wonderful celebration of the rich rugby connections and

proud history that bind New Zealand and Samoaâ&#x20AC;?.

His Samoan counterpart, Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Sailele Malielegaoi, was reported as saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be an historic occasion to have the All Blacks play in Samoa in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know how much rugby means to Samoans and New Zealanders so to take the All Blacks to Apia will be a huge moment for all of us.â&#x20AC;?

The recent death of former All Black, the Samoan-born Jerry Collins, will also add a poignant note to the big match.

The hospitable Samoans have been very busy making sure they are particularly â&#x20AC;&#x153;match-fitâ&#x20AC;?. The Apia Stadium underwent a multi-million dollar facelift to bring

it up to an international standard and many of the roads have been markedly improved.

I noticed on this recent trip that along with the usual Samoan backing sounds of laughter, song and the continual chorus of confused roosters crowing throughout the day, was the buzz of weed-eaters.

The gardens around the traditional fales (or homes) are always very colourful and wellkept, but those proud gardeners are working particularly hard in the build-up to the big influx of visitors for the event.

Samoaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism industry is growing steadily with visitor numbers up and some stunning resorts open over the last two years (notably the Saletoga

Sands Resort & Spa of the South East Coast of Upolu and Return to Paradise Resort at Lefaga on the South West) and others currently under construction.

The iconic Apia hotel, Aggie Greys, will reopen at the end of this year as Sheraton Samoa Aggie Greys Hotels & Bungalows after a massive refurbishment and the addition of a new extension.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very affordable holiday destination for Kiwis and the four-hour flights means even a long weekend break works well. Of course, the beaches and the balmy climate make it a great winter escape. And while thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of exciting developments (many new restaurants/ bars and spacious supermarkets) happening, it still remains a genuinely unspoilt South Pacific gem.

The big plus is the totally laidback and friendly Samoan welcome. Drivers are courteous and the dress code is very simple. A lava-lava (bought there for between $7-$10) and a teeshirt with a pair of jandals/sandals work for both sexes in most places.

Manu Samoa v All Blacks will be a great occasion and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure many rugby-mad Kiwis, who never had Samoa on their travel agenda before, will love the lifestyle and want to go back. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Robyn Yousef is a local writer who loves to visit Samoa

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, June 25, 2015 — 13

nd anniversary

Celebrate with LaBella Break out the champagne for the belle of the ball – LaBella Kitchens’ relocation to Howick is two this month!

Bring the whole family and head down to the showroom in Moore Street this Saturday for a delightful afternoon of champagne, canapés and treats for the children as hosts Craig and Rochelle Riley speak of their passion, kitchens.

There will be numerous specials, and upgrades to be had, and the first person to order a beautiful, bespoke kitchen from LaBella during the months of July and August 2015 will receive an elegant Baumatic wine fridge for FREE*!

Other highlights include: s &ANTASTIC 3MEG AND 3AMSUNG appliance packages from Kitchen Things s &2%% ACCESSORIES AND UPGRADES (*Conditions apply) Of course, the kitchen connoisseurs are only too happy to discuss ideas and designs and answer any questions.

Craig, the master craftsman, has cabinetmaking in his blood and has been building clever innovations with his hands for decades.

All cabinetry is made and assembled on site and clients are involved in every stage of the design.

No matter how complicated, LaBella goes the extra mile tailoring each design to fit different household needs.

Rochelle and designer Karen Brown both have backgrounds in interior design, with Karen a graduate of the Nanette Cameron School of Interior Design and Rochelle a graduate from the Nottingham Institute of Design in the UK. Rochelle holds a National Certificate in Kitchen Design achieved through the National Kitchen and Bathroom Association (NKBA) and Karen is close to completing the same qualification.

Their knowledge of colour, space and light is unparalleled. Like many other kitchen companies, LaBella offers 3D conceptual plans, but Rochelle and Karen take it further

with detailed hand drawings.

Working together closely with contractors such as Alan Craig from Craig Plumbing and Paul Meyers from Protect Electrical, the team delivers a seamless one-stopshop investment to be proud of.

After installation, LaBella takes pride in its after-care service, ensuring clients are satisfied with every aspect of their new addition.

And clients cannot speak more highly enough of their efforts: “LaBella’s craftsmanship was of absolute quality and it is apparent they have used only the best possible materials to achieve the end result. I have had numerous comments from family and friends who have recently undergone their own kitchen fit-outs, who say there is no comparison to the quality of finish LaBella has delivered. The process not only exceeded expectations but remained well within budget and there were no last minute surprises.” – Dale Parnell, Golflands.

Now’s the time to be thinking about a new kitchen before Christmas, so pop in to the party this Saturday, 10am-2pm at: LaBella Kitchens 249 Moore Street, Howick Ph 533 7183 Email info@labellakitchens.co.nz www.labellakitchens.co.nz JH10047A

OR the first 25 years of his life, Jason Shon Bennett was sick with asthma, hay fever, allergies, bad skin, bowel and digestive problems and was constantly on medication.

Fed up of being sickly, he took charge of his life and made a change.

It was after a lot of scientific research and interviews with healthy centenarians that the best-selling author of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Eat less, Live Moreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has cured himself and helped others professionals including former All Black John Loveday.

1. What is the first golden rule for a healthy life?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude, which means saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, I want to be well, feel amazing, look great and live a long, healthy life, free of drugs and disease.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2. Does the secret of longevity lie in self restraint and eating greens?

Eating less and eating more greens is certainly a part of the equation but only a part. Eating beautiful tasty meals that the whole family loves is also critical as is eating your greens in a varied way that is delicious, nutritious and fun. 3. What did you learn from the centenarians you met? Was there anyone in particular that inspired you? One of the secrets of the centenarians is that they eat around 1900 calories per day. It is generally three small meals of plantbased local whole foods that are in season. The centenarians also move a great deal naturally, they have a daily routine and rhythm, go to bed early and live by a set of guidelines. My favourite centenarian was my step-grandmother, Amy, who lived to 104, gave up processed foods at age 23 in 1930,

nutrition guru: Jason Shon Bennett has had 25 years of sickness and Photo supplied 25 years of exceptional health.

and lived another 81 years in stunning health without drugs or disease.

4. How does your day begin and end?

My day begins with 100 push ups (sometime broken into two lots), then a glass of warm water with a splash of apple cider vinegar, then a long walk or yoga session. My day ends with kissing my kids goodnight (I am often in bed before they are), and cuddling the love of my life, Tracey (who happens to be my wife â&#x20AC;&#x201C; good thing!). 5. Can the biggest killer of our time, cancer be avoided by a change in lifestyle?

We know that 97 per cent of bowel cancer is preventable and even the conservative estimates by the cancer societies say that 70

HOURS: Mon-Sat 9am-5.30pm, Sun 10am-5pm.

per cent of breast cancer is avoidable. 90-95 per cent of cancer is not genetic. Around 90 per cent of all lung cancer deaths and disease could be avoided if we banned smoking. So yes, there is hard evidence proving diet and lifestyle is critical to cancer prevention. 6. Any advice for the Times readers?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled; you are NOT your genetics. You can make a difference through your choices. I had 25 years of sickness and now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had 25 years of exceptional health and believe me, exceptional health is way more fun! â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Discover the secret to exceptional health, Te Tuhi Centre for the Arts, Reeves Rd, Pakuranga, Wednesday, July 1 from 7-9pm.

Animals provide fun way of learning

By Marianne Kelly

C

ONVEYING solid life skills information to children through the eyes of animals has turned from a hobby into a growing business for Pakuranga author and publisher Marilyn Bakker.

The former Riverhills School teacher has completed 15 books of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Rescued Cats Adventure Seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and says she will probably produce three more. They are based on photographs taken by Christine Johnston, of West Auckland, who was left to care for 17 cats and came up with the idea of writing stories about the individual cats around photographs she had taken of their antics.

She enlisted Mrs Bakkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help to write and produce books true to the personalities the animals convey through the photograph.

For example Tiddles and Oscarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Learning Adventure is based around the timid puss Tiddles, a potential bullying victim, and Oscar, found in a rubbish bin with his litter and raised by a police officer.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a confident cat, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a bit of a bully boyâ&#x20AC;?, Mrs Bakker says. She uses terms recognisable to children, such as Oscar threatening Tiddles with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to bite your earâ&#x20AC;?.

Tiddles is scared while Oscar thinks heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cool cat. So Mrs Bakker includes questions for the children, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;do you think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cool cat? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because they are animals they are not scary to the children,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oscar goes back to the rubbish bin and remembers it was scary and now feels sorry that he bullied Tiddles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to find a pathway, looking at both sides. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always know what hidden issues a bully has, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question of finding a solution and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity for teachers to bring in different elements.â&#x20AC;?

The book includes a list of â&#x20AC;&#x153;meowsâ&#x20AC;?

at the end offering ideas of how to treat other people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not saying what is good or bad, just what is correct behaviour so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a giveaway at the end for a teacher.â&#x20AC;?

Mrs Bakker has lived at her Pakuranga home since 1964 when she and her late husband bought their section on the banks of Pakuranga Creek.

It was, she says, part of a big paddock and surrounded by farm land.

Her move into book publishing is the result of close to 20 years working in sales in the print paper industry, eventually honing her design skills.

Now she runs her small company, Arthur Publishing House, specialising in books for children.

She was encouraged to write her

first book when, over the course of a journey to and from Coromandel she told her granddaughter a story which her family encouraged her to write down.

The book was called Danger at Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cove The Adventures of Josephine Mary Cresswell, a story of fantasy and adventure inter-woven. In 2011 Mrs Bakker won gold in the Pride in Print Awards for the book, judged on criteria such as design, processes used and layout.

It became part of a series, the second titled The Mystery of the Missing Artefact and she is currently working on a third. She is the proud recipient of a letter of thanks from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after her second book was included in a

gift parcel to Kensington Palace last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am proud of being a New Zealander and the stories are about New Zealanders in the 1950s,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Bakker says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children had no computers or cellphones then and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something hard for some to get their heads around today,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s [the book series] all about outdoor adventures and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appeal to all children. But it does to the ones who love reading and has also proven good for children who struggle with reading. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for children aged nine-14 and even adults enjoy them. Older children who would have struggled can get hooked because the books are fast moving.â&#x20AC;?

Mrs Bakker says she has been fortunate all along the way to have help from many people, such as during her 15-year membership of Pakuranga Toastmasters and becoming a founder member of Pakuranga Harriers, running alongside people such as electrical retailer John Magness who came on board as a sponsor.

These days she offers her publishing skills to other budding authors, visits schools to read her books and run sessions about how to write a book.

One of her protĂŠgĂŠs is her eightyear-old grandson Nicholaas Bakker who, at the age of five, wrote and illustrated his book, The Plane that was the biggest in the whole wide world. His Gran reproduced the book exactly as he had written and illustrated it, copyrighted it and distributed it to the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be good for schools,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to demonstrate that everyone can write a book. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how creative the kids are.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; â&#x2013; For more details, email books@ marilynjbakker.com or for the Rescued Cats Adventure series go to www.rescuedcatsadventures.com.

Feedback Getting on with new ferry facility It pays to give your feedback. Your opinion matters to us. Email us at editor@times.co.nz; comment on our Facebook page, facebook.com/timesonlinenz; or write to us at The Editor, Times Newspapers, PO Box 259-243, Botany. Auckland 2163; fax (09) 271-8073. Letters should not exceed 200 words and should carry the name, residential address and contact telephone number of the author. Nom de plumes not accepted.

Auckland Transport responds to questions raised by Times’ readers

T

HE proposal for the Half Moon Bay ferry facility is stage one of a wider re-development plan for the marina area. It is aimed at making immediate progress on a modern and safe facility within the funding available.

A number of investigations into the most appropriate solution for issues in the Half Moon Bay marina area have been carried out.

This resulted in a concept plan adopted in 2012 following an extended period of consultation with stakeholders including the Howick Local Board, the Harbourmaster, Bucklands Beach Yacht Club, Half Moon Bay Ferry Users Group, Half Moon Bay Residents and Ratepayers Group, marine operators and residents and passenger ferry users.

Unfortunately the estimated $35

million to $45 million cost (excluding a multi-storey car park) made it difficult to proceed.

Auckland Transport is working closely with Howick Local Board, Auckland Council and the NZ Transport Agency to ensure progress.

We are taking an integrated approach to transport in the area, which includes getting on with the $4.3 million ferry facility and major improvements to the public transport network. An important aim is increasing the number of people using local buses to get to the Half Moon Bay ferries, to reduce pressure on parking and congestion.

The facility design has ferry and bus services co-located in one area, at the end of Ara-Tai. With sheltered bus stops at the end of the new ferry wharf, people will be able to hop off

dice against other beliefs and divides pupils on the basis of religion.

The SEN supports neutral teaching about major religions and other philosophies that is taught by qualified, registered, professional educators as part of social studies or other areas of the New Zealand curriculum, as this neutral approach creates true understanding of other beliefs and is inclusive of all children from all backgrounds.

The reason that this is so important is because Harvey, who is obviously Christian, has to understand that not everyone in NZ shares his beliefs and, given the 2013 census figures, will probably represent less than 50 per cent of the population by the next census.

A secular society is not anti-religious as some like to believe, just fair and equitable to all.

It’s not anti-religious at all

I WOULD like to thank Harvey Rosieur for clearly showing in his reply, that the need to protect secular state schools from religious influence is as important now as when they were first created in 1877.

To be clear, the Secular Education Network (SEN) opposes the advocacy and practice of a single religion that is led by religiously motivated amateurs at the expense of normal teaching time that could be used for other learning, as this creates preju-

The choice is yours

IN RESPONSE to Michael Palmer (Times, June 18) and for the sake of any other reader who may hive off on a similar pretext, it is apparent that you lack an appreciation of truth and the ability, or desire, to discern truth from error.

I trust that you will now have read my last letter, in the same issue as your own.

At the heart of all conflict is an attempt to impose the will of one over another.

The Gospel (good news) of the Lord Jesus Christ is that we should submit our wills to God, who alone is good.

the bus and walk directly onto the ferry gangway.

The new public transport network will include improved local bus frequencies, which is expected to increase people using this service to get to Half Moon Bay. Consultation on the new network for east Auckland will begin later this year.

Location

Auckland Transport is confident that the proposed facility is located and positioned in the right place. Passengers should be assured that Auckland Transport takes health and safety seriously.

This was a key factor in determining the future wharf’s location.

Specialist technical advisors were commissioned to review the proposed location and orientation for

the new ferry pontoon, gangway placement and wharf structure. The review included reference to local tidal flows and feedback from marine specialists and the Harbourmaster.

The resulting report confirmed the proposed orientation and location for the pontoon, gangway and wharf structure.

Auckland Transport would like to thank those who have given feedback on the ferry facility, including people attending public information days, ferry users, residents and the Half Moon Bay Residents and Ratepayers Association. It is being used to inform the final design of the facility.

We are committed to providing an outstanding ferry transport facility at Half Moon Bay which is expected to open by October 2016. It is an important part of making Auckland’s public

That is the way to peace. Those who oppose God, such as yourselves, are a hindrance to peace.

I dislike religion in general. It is a bedfellow to politics.

On the other hand, if we submit ourselves to God, we are born again of His Spirit.

God is love. If we do not love, we do not have God and neither will we have peace. That is what motivates me to write this. It is for your sakes.

It is for you to discern the truth of what I say. You can know God for yourselves and the truth of what the Bible says.

You cannot have one without the other.

What He promises is eternal life to those who sincerely believe.

That is the choice which you make by will or abdication.

Also in the area, the Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI), together with the new bus network, will provide a quicker, frequent and more reliable public transport option.

By investing in providing more choice, Auckland Transport aims to improve the efficiency of the transport system, while also making it safer, more accessible and reducing environmental impact.

Books New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First World War Heritage

By Imelda Bargas and Tim Shoebridge First World War Centenary History series THE First World War didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just happen overseas; it had a major impact on New Zealand soil.

Rediscover New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hidden First World War history. New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First World War Heritage tackles the First World War from an important angle: the places in New Zealand where it happened.

No battles were fought here, but our landscape is signposted with thousands of poignant memorials.

Behind the facades of old buildings, under scrub and behind farm fences lies a less visible landscape of war and hundreds of stories waiting to be told: a soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name carved on a remote railway station, a once bustling uniform factory in the heart of a city, a long abandoned gun battery and much more.

Imelda Bargas and Tim Shoebridge have searched the country from Northland to Stewart Island and rediscovered a huge number of places with wartime associations: army camps, fortifications, soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;settler farms, convalescent homes, cemeteries and war memorials, dairy factories, hat factories and woollen mills. In places like these, ordinary New Zealanders conducted their lives through

From Exisle Publishing extraordinary times.

All the places had lives after â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and often before â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the war, sometimes with other layers of meaning and association.

This unique book is a revelation for all New Zealanders. Extensively illustrated with new and period photographs and detailed maps, it contains original research and information that will open the eyes of every reader to places and stories in their community hidden from plain sight.

The impact of the First World War on New Zealanders was immense; its legacy seen in the landscape all around us.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Think About Purple Elephants

By Susan Whelan Fun-filled fiction offers an antidote for anxious kids Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Think About Purple Elephants is a delightful picture book with a cast of colourful cavorting characters and a subtle message for anxious kids.

Written by Susan Whelan and beautifully illustrated by Gwynneth Jones, Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Think About Purple Elephants is the story of a little girl, Sophie, and the stories she tells herself to bring sleep.

For Sophie worries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not during the day when she is busy with family and friends, but at night when everything is calm and quiet.

Her family try to help, but somehow they just make her worries worse.

Until her mother thinks of a new approach â&#x20AC;Ś that might just involve an elephant or two! But wait, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about purple elephants, whatever you do!

Whimsical and humorous this little girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story of finding a way to ease her worry resonates with children and parents everywhere.

Anzac Ted is the story of a little boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teddy bear that was passed down to him from his grandfather.

He never won a medal, and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get voted the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favourite toy; but if everyone looked deeper they would see how important Ted and his adventures have been: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see a hero, plain as day Who sits upon my bed.

MOTHER and daughter duo became an institution in Howick village for a period as the younger woman tapped into the memories of her Mum who recalled the tumultuous times of World War II in England followed by 10 years living in Singapore before returning to England.

Subsequently, Janet Jackson has woven the true life memories of her mother Dianna, who died last year aged 92, into a novel using fictional characters and true events seamlessly woven into a story of fiction.

The Flat Bush woman’s self-published book A Bicycle Built for Two has just been released into the market, five years after the seed was sown to delve into her mother’s memories and build them into a novel. The book revolves around two women, Dorothy and Daisy who share experiences through war-torn years, Dorothy’s life in Singapore as a young colonial wife and mother and finally a secret revealed through Daisy’s diaries.

“It was most important to capture my mother’s war stories as she became older,” Ms Jackson says. “It is important that we remember this generation who gave up their young lives to war.”

Her mother was stationed at Aldershot, England, during World War II, after, at the age of 18, joining the Women’s Transport Service of FANY (the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry) which continues to exist today.

“They did amazing things, such as driving in convoys picking up the wounded from places like Dunkirk and driving to the south coast with no headlights because of the blackout.

“There were also good things. She told me about the dances and meeting the officers,” Ms Jackson says. “I did a lot of research to get the facts straight and was helped by the FANY organisation in London. This part of the book is based on reality with fiction woven through it.”

Her Mum’s time in Singapore, she says, was an interesting period and the book captures snap shots of the lives of her generation after the war.

“She went to Singapore on her own because she wanted to get away from everything. In those days many British people were going to places like Singa-

pore, South Africa, and Kenya to make a fresh start.”

“She met my father in Singapore.

He’s in the book but he’s a fictional character. It’s not a biography, rather I wanted to make it interesting as a novel.” Ms Jackson and her sister were born in Singapore but, she says, “there are two children in the book, but they are not us. It’s based on my mother’s memories”.

In 1993 Ms Jackson’s mother moved to New Zealand with Ms Jackson and her husband Derek and son Sam. Ms Jackson says she and her Mum almost became an institution in Howick when they would visit cafes where she would take out her notebook and her Mum would reminisce.

“It was a special time when most of the information was gleaned for the story and then I embellished it. Mother loved it, the nostalgia and the reminiscing. She knew I loved writing and she was keen to see this happen but I am sad that she never saw the final product. “I vowed at her funeral that I would finish the book. She would have been pleased and proud. I got the skill from her, she was a writer.”

■ A Bicycle Built for Two is available at PaperPlus and Readaway book shops in Howick Village, at www.amazon. com, or directly from the author, email janet.jack@xtra.co.nz.

Getting a good start THE world we live in nowadays is dynamic – a fast-paced, technologybased information age.

That’s why a good, all-round education that prepares our children for the exciting and challenging times ahead is crucial for them as individuals and for us as a nation.

With training and education that is appropriate for the future needs of our quickly developing economy and job market, our young people can be assured of employment security and satisfaction.

Because we think this is so important, the Government is committing $10.8 billion in spending on early childhood education, primary, and secondary education this year.

There is also an additional $113 million pledged over four years for tertiary education in the recent Budget.

We realise the importance of starting a high-quality education at an early age. That’s why the additional $74.9M funding over the next four years for ECE will enable more children to start from an earlier age and be taught for longer.

The growth in ECE in the past four years has been steady, with a 7 per cent increase in enrolments across the country.

In our secondary schools in our local area, we know the achievement rates are getting better each year in NCEA. It’s something we can all be

ami-Lee Ross MP for Botany very proud of.

Our schools are putting a huge effort into preparing students for life after their secondary education, so they’re better equipped and ready for the next step, whether it’s to go on studying at tertiary level, in Trades Academies, or joining the workforce.

The improvement in qualifications is reflected in the national figures too, with the number of 18-year-olds attaining NCEA Level 2 having risen from 68 per cent to 81 per cent over the past seven years.

We also realise that students with special needs can enjoy a more fulfilling life with a decent education. It gives them a better chance of being more independent and able to participate and contribute to their communities.

Part of the additional $62.9m over the next four years for special education needs will be for extra in-class teacher aides.

They will support pupils with conditions such as dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, an investment that is thoroughly appropriate.

A CT coronary calcium score may be useful if you have a family history of heart attack or stroke, if you are at moderate risk of heart attack or stroke or if you have high cholesterol levels and are reluctant to take medication without more proof of risk.

The test is not useful if you have already had a heart attack or stroke, or if you have symptoms suggestive of heart disease.

DESTINATION ORMISTON

We may consider our individual risk of heart attack, stroke or vascular (blood vessel) disease at various points in life such as when we reach the same age as a parent when they suffered a heart attack or stroke, or when a colleague or a friend has a sudden heart attack.

There are many factors contributing to your risk of developing heart disease.

Some cannot be modified such as: age, being male, ethnicity and family history of heart attack or stroke.

The factors that can be influenced are: blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, not smoking, being physically active, having a heart-healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight and reducing stress.

Checking these risk factors can help predict if your risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next five years is low, intermediate or high.

Your GP or local health professional can check your future risk by performing a heart and diabetes check.

Regardless of how low or high your risk is, managing these risk factors can reduce your future risk of heart attack or stroke.

We know that some lifestyle changes and in some cases taking medications are important to reduce the risk.

Having a heart health check and knowing your risk can motivate you to make some changes.

You may also benefit from further in depth assessment by a cardiologist (heart specialist) if your risk is moderate or high.

Our assessment will determine if you are likely to benefit from therapy to reduce your risk such as blood pressure medication or statin drugs that lower cholesterol.

The assessment may include exercise testing, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring or a scan of your heart, such as a CT coronary calcium score.

This is a scan that actually shows the calcified cholesterol deposits in your coronary arteries and can help better classify your future risk of heart attack or stroke.

If deposits are seen these are

It was a gut feeling Jillian Merz had about her purchase of the Colonic Health Centre at 262 Pakuranga Road.

The long-time naturopath and medical herbalist, qualified in colonic hydrotherapy, had been practising on the North Shore for years and when the opportunity arose late last year, it was a no-brainer.

“I really believe in the power of colonic hydrotherapy and have witnessed firsthand how it’s transformed lives,” she says.

Having worked with exactly the same system, a USA FDA-approved colon hydrotherapy unit, Jillian is well-acquainted with the ins and outs of the process and the wealth of benefits it offers.

In fact Jillian is well-accustomed to New Zealand Olympic athletes visiting her practice for their dose of colonic hydrotherapy, before a big game overseas or to support their training.

“It’s especially good for long haul flights and helps people stay hydrated and keep up their stamina. Because it’s so safe, gentle and non-invasive there are virtually no side effects except perhaps tiredness, as the body detoxes.”

Clients often report clearer skin, brighter eyes, more energy and a sharper mind.

In order to reap the full benefits, Jillian recommends a lifestyle change and can provide advice as well as nutritional supplements which help clients make the most of the therapy. Now is especially a good time for people to consider colonic hydrotherapy, says Jillian.

Mr McClay says New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax system is well regarded internationally and plays an important role in supporting the kind of stability, certainty and predictability needed to maintain and attract good investment levels in the

This work will improve our reputation in that area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taxes pay for a wide range of vital public services that give us a quality of life envied elsewhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we need a tax system that does the best it can to collect the more revenue to improve the lives of all New Zealanders.â&#x20AC;?

Mr McClay says the Government will continue to consult with a wide range of people and organisations on the overall direction of the tax administration modernisation programme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recently launched the first two of a series of consul-

More consultation papers are due later this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So as work progresses on designing the new system we are constantly talking to those who will work with and use it to make sure we get the best results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The changes are not just to IT systems, but to policy, processes and the way people interact with Inland Revenue and well positions New Zealand to continue to be a world leader in tax administration,â&#x20AC;? says Mr McClay.

EVENUE Minister Todd McClay has welcomed the announcement of Fast Enterprises as Inland Revenueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred software partner to support a modernised, simplified tax system for New Zealand.

Mr McClay says a modernised tax administration system, enabled by the new software, would significantly boost the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to support flourishing businesses in New Zealand and make tax compliance less costly and time consuming for all New Zealanders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Key individuals from Fast Enterprises were also instrumental in building our original software, FIRST, and that system has performed well for more than 25 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will also bring the time frame down from 10 years to under eight and see the cost lower to near the bottom end of the forecast â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at around $1.3 billion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be working with Inland Revenue to find further efficiencies and expect the cost could be as low as $1bn,â&#x20AC;? says Mr McClay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An increasing number of New Zealand companies are also involved in critical components of the transformation process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These include Tenzingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract for data profiling and DeloitteAsparona, which has been contracted to replace the

Simon Gault to lead Roast Day W

ITH renowned chef Simon Gault as ambassador and a new campaign theme, Selaks NZ Roast Day returns to provide dinner time inspiration in August 2015.

The sixth annual Selaks Roast Day takes place on August 2 and focuses on ‘occasions’ and the role the muchloved meal can play in Kiwi homes to bring friends and family together for a roast any night of the week.

This year the celebrated chef and restaurateur takes over the reins at Selaks NZ Roast Day and there’s no doubt his roast recipes will have the ‘the Simon Gault five per cent magic’.

“The minute the word roast is mentioned is the moment I get excited,” he says. “Leftovers in a sandwich or in a salad, for any occasion a roast gets my taste buds going.”

“We’ve gone past the days of dry, tough roasts to now where they are packed full of flavour, they’re innovative, interesting and something to truly look forward to any day of the week.”

And if this inspires you to contemplate a roast on every night, Simon Gault has come up with several mouth-watering recipes for any occasion – from Friday date nights to mid-week family get-togethers.

Nina Stojnic, Selaks Wines spokesperson, says it is an honour to have Simon Gault as the ambassador for Selaks NZ Roast Day 2015.

“Simon is acknowledged by both his peers and foodies throughout the country as one of New Zealand’s most inspirational chefs and food industry personalities.

“To have him supporting roast day and to be able to feature 10 of his specially developed recipes this year provides inspiration as well as real-world support for our theme of ‘occasions’.”

inspiration: Top chef Simon Gault is taking a key role in the Selaks NZ Roast Day.

“The roast is rooted in our culinary history,” Ms Stojnic says. “It’s a traditional meal for bringing together family and friends not only on Sundays but also on a range of occasions.

It’s a philosophy Selaks has embraced since 1934.”

There’s no reason to miss out, social media makes it as easy as possible to be part of the action with roast recipes for everyone.

To bring friends and family

together, and to stimulate conversation around the great Kiwi roast, Selaks is sharing Simon Gault’s recipes through a social media campaign to get people roasting.

Selaks is also giving away 12 Roast Day prize packs. They contain vouchers courtesy of Rangitikei free range chicken, a bottle of Village Press olive oil, Simon Gault seasonings and stocks, Selaks NZ Roast Day oven mitts, tea towel and apron – every-

thing essential a roast fan might need to bring a great roast together for family and friends.

“We aim to engage with New Zealanders who love a roast meal and all the fun and family joy that goes with such an occasion, so social media activity is a critical part of the overall campaign,” Ms Stojnic says.

To take advantage of the Simon Gault recipes matched with Selaks Reserve wines and to enter the draw

New Zealand wine pioneer Mate Selak bought land in Marlborough, seeing the potential in the region, however he passed away shortly after, in 1991, before seeing the fruits of his vision. Now a key brand for Constellation Brands NZ, Selaks remains a firm favourite both here and overseas, and in 2014 celebrated 80 years of winemaking heritage.

Brekky for dinner finally hits New Zealand ‘BRINNER’ - breakfast for dinner has international food experts claiming to be one of the hottest food trends for 2015, has now touched down in New Zealand. Brinner originated in the USA where up to 91% of the population say they eat breakfast items such as pancakes, eggs and

cereal for dinner. The trend has also made in appearance in the UK, where 1 in 10 people admit to brinner being a regular meal choice.

The popularity of brinner is largely accounted to how quickly and easily many breakfasts types can be prepared. The comfort

food factor also appeals. “There’s something about eggs and bacon for dinner that is incredibly nostalgic,” explains Andy. “As a nation, we are also getting used to having choice and variety whenever we want it. There’s no reason why we can’t enjoy bacon, pancakes and other breakfasts

food at any time of the day.”

The Coffee Club has noticed a significant increase in breakfast foods being ordered after 11am this year, including for dinner.

With this knowledge of the growing brinner trend they have expanded their menu to include two new breakfast items.

SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20

Business and friendship may blend surprisingly well. Culture and romance mix nicely too.

This a good week for attending concerts or visiting galleries and museums.

Creative activities are spotlighted. This is a prime time for pursuing artistic activities.

In matters involving shared finances, caution is critical.

Romantic intuition pays off.

Business and travel blend through the week, but romance may have to take a temporary back seat. Avoid impulses when making purchases. The accent should be on quality and value.

LEO July 23-Aug 22

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 22

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 20

This week sees you examining at least two different issues.

Careerwise, review all evidence before making a pronouncement. The romantic picture brightens, thanks to your partner’s sentimentality.

Educational activities increase and travel prospects are bright.

A self indulgent streak may surface, so make a special effort to stick to your diet and stay within the budget.

Your competitors are on their toes and you can’t afford to be off guard. This is the time to crank everything up a notch – anything could happen.

VIRGO Aug 23-Sept 22

CAPRICORN Dec 23-Jan 20 When it comes to relationships or friends, you excel in the role of counsellor. Your objective approach also lets you stand back and plan your career path.

The keyword is recycle.

Sometimes old ideas are the best – perhaps you could put some of them to good use. Self discipline is strong if planning a commonsense diet.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19

GEMINI May 23-June 21

Your judgement may be clouded when it comes to evaluating your own performance. The opinions of outsiders are worth considering. Community interests dominate your times through the weekend.

Important contacts may be made after the weekend.

Don’t be shy about promoting your special skills. A relative impresses you with a rare display of compassion and generosity.

Don’t wait too long before making your moves – someone could beat you to the punch.

Relationships accent the intellectual side. A bonus may arrive after the weekend.

Gas recommended for newly-built households G

AS can be the most costeffective energy option for most new-build households, according to a new report.

The Consumer Energy Options report, produced by Concept Consulting, evaluates different fuels and technologies for providing water, space and heating.

It says gas is the most cost-effective hot water option for most new builds because the low capital cost of instant gas hot water outweighs the relatively higher running costs compared with hot water heat pumps or solar

water heating.

Gas, the report says, is also the best heating option if a household uses gas for water heating as well.

“In such cases where it is used for both water and space heating, the gas heating option becomes cheaper than the equivalent heat pump option for new build situations.”

The report also says that the carbon footprint of gas-fired space and water heating options is broadly similar to heat pump heating options.

Most gas is burned in power stations to create electricity. But

using it directly in the home or commercial premises for water and space heating and cooking is more energy efficient and cleaner burning.

“Many people don’t realise that gas is cost-efficient, energyefficient and low-carbon,” says Gas New Zealand spokesperson Gregg Brown.

“And these benefits come on top of other advantages, such as never running out of hot water, the rapid heating provided by gas fires and the fact they will heat large spaces, and the instant control they provide in the kitchen.”

Mr Brown says gas heating also has strong advantages over other fuels with the ability to provide a quick, cost-effective heat in the lowest temperatures, ability to economically heat a whole home, and in the convenience and aesthetics of gas fires.”

He calls gas a transition fuel on the path to a totally renewable energy system.

“It’s much better to use gas in our homes than to burn it in power stations to generate electricity.

“That’s wasteful and environmentally unfriendly.”

6C Lorien Place, East Tamaki

A RARE giant of the plant world made its second commanding performance, flowering for the second time in 18 months at the Auckland Domain Wintergardens.

The Amorphophallus titanium, more commonly known as titan arum, was the first of its kind to flower in New Zealand in December 2013. It began to flower again on June 17, revealing a dark and velvety purple colour inside.

It’s also known as the ‘corpse flower’ because of the powerful rotting flesh-like stench it produces when it begins to flower and attract pollinators.

About 17,400 people viewed the plant, which has been growing at the Auckland Council-owned nursery for about nine years, when it flowered in 2013.

The average temperature in the nursery is maintained at 25 degrees C. Auckland Domain manager, David Millward of the council’s City Parks Services says the plants are so unpredictable that it’s hard to say when something

CORPSE FLOWER: Amorphophallus titanium at the Wintergardens in Auckland Domain first flowered in 2013.

Photo Auckand Council

will happen. In a BBC documentary about the plants, Sir David Attenborough noted that in their natural habitat of Sumatra, the titan arum can flower every 1000 days.

But they are less predictable in a glasshouse environment and it is now more than 540 days since the Auckland plant last flowered, which is unusual, Mr Millward says.

“We haven’t done anything too special with it to be honest, other than making sure it was in a constant temperature, fed it with liquid fertiliser and seaweed solution and ensured it was watered correctly,” he says.

“We also made the conscious decision not to disturb the corm by re-potting it after flowering as this would not happen in its natural environment.”

The corm, or tuber, produces a single leaf the size of a tree each year.

For seven to 10 years it goes through a life cycle of leaf, dieback and dormancy.

Then a bloom may appear, lasting no more than 48-72 hours. The flower can grow to more than three metres tall.

Apprentice of the year entries rise E

NTRIES for the Registered Master Builders Carters 2015 Apprentice of the Year competition have now closed, with 145 apprentices from up and down New Zealand set to compete for the coveted title and a share of over $100,000 worth of prizes.

RMBA chief executive David Kelly is pleased to note that entry numbers are rising year on year, as construction activity is on the rise in some areas of the country. Entries are particularly strong in the central North Island, with numbers up 66 per cent from last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic to see more and more apprentices step forward to compete in apprentice of the year,â&#x20AC;? Kelly says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The competition opens doors for many of the entrants. It is an opportunity for them to prove themselves alongside their peers, and the building and construction community.â&#x20AC;?

The Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (Bcito) saw a record number of apprentice sign ups in 2014, reflecting a real commitment from the construction industry.

Bcito chief executive Ruma Karaitiana says he is proud to support an event which showcases the best of the best in New Zealand carpentry apprentices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Apprentice of the year is an excellent way to recognise and celebrate the talent and passion in the construction industry. Any event that challenges apprentices and encourages them to be the best that they can be is one we are more than happy to

support,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the increase of apprentices signing up to Bcito, we are excited to see the talent at apprentice of the year 2015.â&#x20AC;?

Regional judging kicks off this week. Written entries will be judged and entrants will be interviewed as the judging panel work to find a top apprentice in each of the 10 regions.

The winning apprentice from each region will then go on to compete for the national title of Registered Master Builders Carters 2015 Apprentice of the Year.

Each winner will receive $2000 to spend at Carters, a spot at an Outward Bound course and a range of products and tools.

Winners from each region will come together at the apprentice of the year national competition in Auckland in October.

Warming up to new principal W

e may be in the middle of winter, but the atmosphere at Riverhills Primary School in Pakuranga couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be warmer thanks to new principal, Sarah Allen.

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still early days, Sarah is keen to grow and nurture young minds, with many exciting results ahead.

In fact the school is looking forward to a special surprise event next term and Sarah hopes to keep the momentum flowing with many fresh changes and activities planned for the school.

Located in a quiet cul-desac (Waikaremoana Place) just off Gossamer Drive, the school is unique in that sense, says the former deputy principal of Waikowhai Primary School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in an urban setting the school has a wonderful rural school feel thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe and peaceful,â&#x20AC;? says Sarah.

Importantly, there is ample space for children to run around and stay active. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have large grounds and keep numbers small in each class. The teach-

ers know all the children by name and the children know all the teachers.â&#x20AC;?

Building on the strong foundations of the school, Sarah is enthusiastic about future-focused learning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My aim is to integrate more technology into teaching and learning so the students are stimulated and become led by their interests, showing curiosity and an ability to apply their knowledge across a wide range of curriculum areas.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty to keep Sarah and the Riverhills team on their toes with upcoming Matariki events in the school and at Pakuranga Library, kapa haka training for the Koanga Festival as well as sports and games with senior St Kentigern College students every Wednesday. Being involved in the local education scene is a priority too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The local principals have been very supportive and we have a positive working relationship with some of the schools nearby. Collaborating with other professionals

ADVERTORIAL SC3423A

benefits our teachers as they can share good practice and further their own learning, which subsequently has a positive impact on student learning,â&#x20AC;? says Sarah.

And with mid-year reports due to be issued and student-led conferences to be held soon, parents are a big part of the picture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to get parents more involved in their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning, and to develop strong partnerships with them to continue to make the school a better place.â&#x20AC;?

T’S electrifying fun at MOTAT these school holidays.

The popular Science Roadshow returns to MOTAT from July 4-19 with its two live shows and interactive exhibits.

This exciting hands-on learning experience broadens children’s knowledge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics while having great fun.

The new live science shows, Wonderful Water and Sparks, Arcs and Gherkins, will be presented every hour throughout the holidays.

Wonderful Water explains the amazing properties of water and how it cycles through our world.

Simple experiments demonstrate why we need to look after earth’s fresh water supply, whether ice is heavier than water and what surface tension means along with many other interesting facts about water.

Sparks, Arcs and Gherkins explores the dynamics of electricity and its many uses. It illustrates how a circuit works, teaches children all about electromagnets and the difference between conductors and insulators.

They can even see first-hand whether a gherkin is a good conductor or not! Exciting apparatus, including a Tesla coil generating thousands of volts of electricity and the Electric Chair of Doom, are bound to keep the kids engaged.

What is Tuina?

To ensure quality learning outcomes for each student

(Pronounced “Twee nah”) TUINA (Classical TCM Massage Therapy) is a manual technique aimed at enhancing health and treating various clinical conditions.

It is one of the most commonly used modalities in the practice of traditional Chinese medicine and is now practised worldwide. Tuina involves using bodywork (such as massage and acupressure) to stimulate the flow of vital energy throughout the body.

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 donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Socraticâ&#x20AC;? 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: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr Porter explains things well and makes it fun!â&#x20AC;?

AMERON Jago is heading to the second of what he hopes is many appearances at the BMX world championships.

The 15-year-old Pakuranga College pupil finished third in the New Zealand championships in Christchurch in April, with a place in the top 16 enough to qualify for the worlds.

“I got a really bad gate, then there was a crash on the first corner,” he recalls.

“I went around it and kept passing everyone else that was still in the race to get third.”

Cameron started riding BMX when he was seven and entered his first competition five years ago.

He entered the world championships at Vector Arena in 2013, making the quarter-finals to be in the top 32 in the world.

This year has been a breakout season though, being the first time he has made the national final.

The result is on the back of an increased commitment to the sport, training up to six days a week on the track at Lloyd Elsmore Park.

He also hits the gym at Jetts Highland Park, which has sponsored his world championship tilt along with Cycle Xpress in Panmure and Chillex Services.

The amplified dedication has made a big difference to his speed, as well as his mental game.

“Confidence is one of the main factors in sport. I deal with my nerves a lot better now.”

Cameron Jago

“I was a lot more confident this year,” he says.

“Last year I was nervous and didn’t really believe in myself.

“Confidence is one of the main factors in sport. I deal with my nerves a lot better now.”

Cameron is one of six riders from the Mountain Raiders club among 57 Kiwis competing in the world champs, which are being staged in Belgium next month.

BMX New Zealand’s executive officer Dion Earnest says: “Cameron is extremely laid back and fun loving but once he puts his mind to things he’s extremely fast.

“He has really grown in the past two years.”

■ Cameron has set up a fundraiser on the Givealittle page to raise money for the flights, accommodation and gear he needs for the world championships.

To donate, go to givealittle. co.nz/cause/cameronjago.

Fiji bound COCKLE Bay’s Matt Ridenton is in the 30-man Wellington Phoenix squad travelling to Fiji for the inaugural Fiji Airways preseason tour.

The tour will see the Wellington Phoenix take on the Fiji National team and Phoenix Premiers face the Fiji U23 team in four matches played across two venues on two match days, on Saturday in Suva and next Tuesday in Ba. The Wellington Phoenix squad comprises 14 contracted players, including Ridenton, but excludes Roy Krishna who will play for the Fijian national team.

The remaining 16 players will come from the club’s wider squad which includes eight academy players.

TVNZ are offering a rare chance to see top level sport on free to air television. Kiwis can watch live coverage of the tennis action at Wimbledon on TV One and TVNZ OnDemand.

TV One will broadcast Wimbledon from 12am to 6am daily, with TVNZ OnDemand

simultaneously streaming all the action.

The online option also offers a special preview, daily highlights programmes, as well as replays of the match of the day, so viewers can re-live all the top moments as it suits them.

TVNZ’s head of content Jeff Latch says: “A fantastic opportunity was offered to us to bring Wimbledon back to TVNZ. We’re proud to give Kiwi tennis fans the chance to watch one of the most famous tennis tournaments in the world, free to air - as it happens.

Wimbledon runs from Tuesday June 30 to Saturday July 11, from 12am to 6am on TV One, and from 1am to 6am on July 12-13.

If the televised match runs past the scheduled time, viewers can pick up the action on TVNZ OnDemand until end of play. There is no play on Monday, July 8 unless weather disruptions postpone matches earlier in the week.

Winless at awards HOWICK Bowling Club is The Color Purple of this year’s Auckland Bowls awards.

Championship.

The squad is made up of 22 forwards (three hookers, six props, five locks and seven loose forwards) and 19 backs (three halfbacks, four first fiveeighths, five midfielders and seven outside backs) and will again be captained by All Blacks skipper Richie McCaw. “We have selected a large squad of 41 players, partly through necessity, with two New Zealand teams still involved in the Super Rugby competition,” says head coach Steve Hansen.

Piutau already has 14 All Blacks caps while Fekitoa will add to his tally of eight.

Hansen said the “immediate focus” was preparing for the historic test against Samoa in Apia on July 8.

“We are looking forward to taking on that particular challenge and we know it will be a passionate Samoan side and a pretty special occasion.”

Hansen confirmed the team to play Samoa would not include any players from any New Zealand teams which make it through to the Super Rugby Final.

“Following the Samoa Test, Argentina, South Africa and Australia will again bring their own unique strengths to each contest and we look forward to playing them over the weeks ahead.”

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, June 25, 2015 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 43

Smith our greatest halfback A

ARON Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brilliance against the Chiefs in orchestrating the Highlandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; march to this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super Rugby semi-ďŹ nal against the dangerous Waratahs conďŹ rmed his status as the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best halfback.

Renowned for his bullet pass and an improved kicking game, it was his fast breaks which set up stunning tries to dynamic right wing Waisake Naholo who, on Sunday, became one of ďŹ ve new All Blacks among the 41 named by the NZ selectors.

With ďŹ rst ďŹ ve Lima Sopoaga also named to join Naholo, Malakai Fekitoa, Aaron and Ben Smith, the Highlanders now have ďŹ ve All Blacks as just reward for their outstanding form.

Much harder to justify is the Crusaders representation of 13 (Codie Taylor, Wyatt Crockett, Owen Franks, Joe Moody, Sam Whitelock, Luke Romano, Richie McCaw, Matt

Todd, Kieran Read, Dan Carter, Colin Slade, Ryan Crotty and Israel Dagg) when they failed to make the six-team playoffs.

However, there can be no argument about the table-topping Hurricanesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tally of 12 with James Broadhurst and Nehe Milner-Skudder joining Dane Coles, Ben Franks, Victor Vito, Jeremy Thrush, TJ Perenara, Beauden Barrett, Maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;a Nonu, Conrad Smith, Julian Savea and Cory Jane.

Hikawera Elliot, Brodie Retallick, Sam Cane, Liam Messam, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, and Sonny Bill Williams gives the Chiefs six, one more than the Blues who have forwards Tony Woodcock, Keven Mealamu, Charlie Faumuina, and Jerome Kaino and Charles Piutau as their only back.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice that the selectors have retained Piutau despite their disappointment at him having signed to play for Ulster next year although he will face stiff competition for a

AARON SMITH

World Cup wing or fullback starting spot from Savea, Naholo, Ben Smith, Milner-Skudder and Dagg.

Meanwhile, with the Brumbies having to travel from South Africa

after their impressive 39-19 win against the Stormers, the Hurricanes should convert their huge home advantage with a semi-ďŹ nal win in Wellington.

The brave Highlanders face a much tougher but not impossible task against the Waratahs where the backline brilliance of Sopoaga, Fekitoa, Naholo and the two Smiths will be matched by that of Bernard Foley, Kurtley Beale and Israel Folau.

Meanwhile, with Sir John Kirwan resigning as Blues coach, fans will be hoping Tana Umaga accepts the challenge to revitalise a team that is sorely in need of the kiss of life.

In ďŹ nally deciding to fall on his sword, former Japan coach Kirwan has made the best decision in his three-year tenure with the Blues where his results failed to match his passion for the job.

In fairness, untimely injuries to Jerome Kaino, Patrick Tuipulotu,

Agnewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angle Tony Woodcock, Charlie Faumuina and Steven Luatua seriously blunted forward power. But the failure to produce a cohesive backline was a telling indictment on getting his players to gel.

While former All Blacks captain Umaga never wanted to rush into a Super Rugby head coaching role, he has served a good apprenticeship with Counties Manukau in guiding them to a Ranfurly Shield tenure for the ďŹ rst time in their history.

A man with his feet ďŹ rmly planted on the ground and a good head on his shoulders, Umaga has the mana and ability to lead the Blues back to the Promised Land from the pits of Hell to which they have fallen.

It may not happen overnight, but it will happen, provided he is given a free hand to whistle his own tune.

Live local, play local

By DANIEL SILVERTON

T

HE days of south-east Auckland’s best young sportspeople being lured to clubs outside the area are gone.

That was the battle cry at the launch of the Pakuranga Rugby Development Foundation (PRDF) last Friday.

The foundation has been formed to ensure the clubs who have been responsible for fostering up-andcoming talent have the service of those players beyond secondary school.

“We want to make sure that, in particular rugby players but not just rugby players, who have come through the grades in the area that there is a vehicle for them to be able to stay and be involved with the clubs that they played their junior sport for,” says PRDF chairman Graeme Heaphy, who is joined by three other trustees with a wealth of business and sports administration experience.

“We have instances of boys who have come through the rugby club and played all their junior grade football there, then gone to secondary schools and been wooed away to other clubs, and other provinces for that matter.”

The foundation will

provide monetary grants to elite sportspeople to assist with education costs for up to three years.

“While this is primarily a rugby foundation, it is aimed at all sportspeople in the area,” says Heaphy.

whatever, they will be eligible to apply for grants.

“We want to keep the young people of this area in this area.”

Trustee John East says: “While we can’t remunerate under the amateur code, we can certainly help with tertiary and trade edu-

cation to help these kids along the way with fees.

“We’ll be calling for not just elite sportspeople, but young leaders of the future to be recipients.

“We have a stringent set of criteria for the application of candidates and there will be a board that will evaluate those applications.”

The criteria includes academic merit, sporting potential and involvement in community activities. The foundation, which has charitable trust status, is aiming to build a capital fund of around $500,000, which through interest and investments will generate income to support the players they identify.

It hopes to provide around three grants per year, worth up to $5000 each, which can be put towards fees and other education costs, such as tools for apprenticeships.

The fund will be the product of personal and corporate donations, charitable trust grants, bequests and gifts.

It already has a sizeable pot from the proceeds of Pakuranga United’s 50th anniversary celebration and some anonymous donations.

“So we have a bit of a fighting fund with enough money to do brochures, set up a website and get things rolling,” says East.

It is hoped that the first round of applicants will be called for at the end of 2016.
