The Stockade Hill Photo Competition run by the Howick Ratepayers and Residents Association (HRRA) was won with this telling image by John Spiller (Howick Local Board member) called “Sunrise on Stockade Hill’.

HRRA chair Gayleen Mackereth said: “It links the themes of the sacrifice of our men, of the simple Howick pleasures of walking the dog while admiring the view and sunrise on the Gulf beyond and makes a statement that this is our highest point and our vantage point which nothing must dominate.

“John has kindly declined the prize, donating it instead to our Howick Little Theatre gala fundraising evening on May 17. If you would like to attend, you can pay for your advance ticket now.

ccommodation providers around east Auckland are up in arms about a proposed targeted accommodation rate by Auckland Council that could see their rates rise by a whopping 150 per cent.

The proposal forms part of Auckland Council’s annual budget for 2017/2018 and will replace $27.8 million of general rates funding spent by council annually on visitor attractions and major events.

All commercial accommodation providers, including hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts, will be required to pay a rate that works out to be approximately four per cent of their revenue, which is expected to increase the cost of a nightly stay by around $6-$10 for a typical hotel when passed down to visitors.

For most local motels, the

increase is estimated to reach 200 per cent, according to Howick Ward Councillor Dick Quax, and he’s not happy with what the proposed rate could mean for local providers.

“Our local places are not necessarily filled with tourists; they are business people, and people visiting family or friends. These are the people who already pay taxes, so they would be hit again.

“For many of our small local providers, it could potentially put them out of business. They’re left with three options – charge more, lay people off, or go out of business... [and] they work on a fairly small margin anyway.”

General manager of Waipuna Hotel and Conference Centre, David Comery, expects his rates will triple from the current $200,000 per annum to more than $600,000 if the proposed rate increase goes ahead.

“Waipuna operates in a part of

the market that is price-sensitive and particularly in the case of large conferencing, those same clients have options elsewhere in New Zealand.

“The industry at large would not be opposed to contributing directly to the costs associated with attracting visitors to the city, [but] accommodation providers enjoy only 10 per cent of the visitor spend, and yet Auckland Council appears to be seeking full recompense for ATEED’s (Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development) operation from that one sector alone.”

Mayor Phil Goff told the Times the additional charge is not expected to be a burden on the accommodation provider, but to hit tourists and visitors (both domestic and international) with the extra cost of funding tourism infrastructure and the work of ATEED. ➤ Turn to Page 3

UNFAIR: Quest Highbrook manager Brendan Kelly says the proposed targeted accommodation rate will hit Kiwi business travellers in the wallet, not tourists.

Proposed levy will hurt sector

‘Trucks have got to go’

“The total rates bill for accommodation providers will increase, but the expectation is that they will pass on the targeted rate as a visitor surcharge, as they do in many cities around the world, so their customers would ultimately pay the rate.”

The proposal states other business that benefit such as restaurants, cafes and taxis will not be charged because most of their customers are Auckland residents.

But for some local accommodation providers, Auckland residents make up a significant portion of their revenue.

At Howick Motor Lodge, 60 per cent of guests are Auckland ratepayers.

At Quest Highbrook, around 70 per cent of guests are New Zealand business travellers, and 15 per cent are international business travellers, resulting in 85 per cent of Quest’s total revenue coming from New Zealand business people and ratepayers.

Leisure travellers make up 15 per cent of Quest Highbrook’s guests, and within that 15 per cent, the majority are New Zealand domestic leisure travellers.

Less than five per cent are international tourists. “The idea of a $10 per night tourist levy could be calculated and passed on to a traveller, but a rate increase cannot... there is no possible financial mechanism for it,” said manager Brendan Kelly.

“A rate based increase will merely mean an increase in prices for all guests, put pressure on existing margins and increasing pressure on hotels to pay minimum wage – and Quest Highbrook is not a minimum wage employer.”

Mr Kelly, who has worked in the hotel industry in New Zealand and France for nine years, said Mr Goff has failed to take into account the investment funding and ownership models for hotels.

“This rates proposal is a huge disincentive for investors to develop more or additional hotel accommodation infrastructure, which is desperately needed to support increased tourism projections. At a high level, this started and is justified as a tax or levy on “international tourists” whose increasing numbers demand infrastructure investment. Now it has turned into a re-funding fudge exercise to take $30m of ATEED funding out of a rate increase on accommodation providers. In every way [the proposal] is flawed.”

Mr Kelly suggested an alternatively proposed New Zealand-wide tax could be a more palatable option, but should also target inbound international airline seats, or tourism operators such as bungee jump, jet boat and campervan hire operators.

In response to the suggestion, Mr Goff confirmed council is not able to impose an arrival charge on international travellers – only central Government can do that – and reiterated accommodation providers are direct benefactors of work done by ATEED and Regional Facilities Auckland (RFA).

“Activities that benefit the accommodation industry should be paid for by those who directly benefit, not by the general ratepayer,” Mr Goff said.

By Laura Brookes esidents of Armoy Drive are calling for the prompt removal of heavy haulage trucks parked along their street.

For the past six weeks, the parked trucks have been a major safety hazard to drivers, said Terry Nash who petitioned the case to the Howick Local Board at the February 20 public meeting.

“Any vehicle coming toward Smales Road has to be over the centre line of the road,” he said, when explaining the issue to board members. “We [as residents] are being adversely affected by this activity in a residential zone... they’re a danger to people going along our roads.”

A neighbour of Mr Nash’s also attended the meeting

BLOCKED: Residents say the trucks are causing drivers to travel across the centre line to get past.

and confirmed there is always at least one truck positioned there day and night, if not two or three trucks.

“They’re using the main public road as a yard, and we don’t believe that’s acceptable in terms of the zone it’s

in,” he said. Mr Nash believes the “persistent presence” of the trucks, parked immediately adjacent to a children’s play park, indicate that a business activity is most likely being conducted in the residential area, which Howick

Local Board chairman David Collings confirmed would be in breach of a bylaw.

Mr Collings said the Board would contact the appropriate authorities and work toward a resolution of the issue.

‘The largest petition ever presented’ $

H

owickians packed the public gallery of the Reception Lounge of the Auckland Town Hall last Wednesday to hear Howick Ratepayers and Residents Association chairperson Gayleen Mackereth present a petition https://youtu. be/5uYt26H44l0 calling for council to stop high-rise developments blocking our iconic views from Stockade Hill and Crawford Reserve.

This was the largest petition ever to come from this area and was signed by an impressive 6700 people. It was only possible to present this petition once the Court process was exhausted.

“This place, and this view, is Waahi Tapu for Howickians. It is our memorial to our war dead and the birthplace of our com-

bined history. So many presentday Howickians can trace their ancestors to the early settlers who sheltered here on Stockade Hill. Our people came by sea – Howick Beach is our Waka landing place, Stockade Hill is our Site of Significance to all citizens, and the views of the Gulf are our Taonga, said Mrs Mackereth.

By the petition HRRA also claimed that as the views from Stockade Hill and Crawford Reserve comprise an outstanding natural landscape and feature of Howick, the Authorities have a statutory duty (under Section 6 (b)) of the Resource Management Act (1991) to protect these from inappropriate subdivision, use and development.

“We will await the council’s response to this challenge,” Mrs

challenge: Gayleen Mackereth, chair of the Howick Ratepayers and Residents Association, on Thursday presented a petition and power point presentation to Auckland Council in relation to intensive development which would block views from Stockade Hill and Crawford Reserve.

Mackereth said.

“We are demanding that a new viewshaft be put in place immediately to protect these views and that a Plan change occur to remedy the situation permanently.

“The next step in our campaign is to ask all our supporters to email the mayor and councillors urging them to do the right thing and stop the proposed intensive developments blocking the iconic views in perpetuity and to return the area to former height limits of 8 metres in keeping with the rest of the Cockle Bay zone.”

Mrs Mackereth wish to offer “a huge thank you to all the readers who have contributed to our fundraising and supported us by signing our petition”.

“None of this could have been done without your support. No

“The good news is that our fundraising total today of $31,457 means that we have reached our goal to raise sufficient money to pay our legal costs.

“Any further donations will be used to put Howick Ratepayers and Residents Association back on our feet then to re-establish the depleted legacy “High-rise fighting fund”.

Times on board as new national news website launched The nation’s independent publishers – including Times Media which produces the Howick and Pakuranga Times and Botany and Ormiston Times - are banding together, creating a new national news service.

Newsie is a collaboration of New Zealand-owned and independent news companies, pooling resources throughout the nation to bring a new, balanced and locally owned news organisation.

The news service is co-ordinated by Sun Media, the New Zealand-owned publishing

company that operates the highly-successful SunLive news website based in the Bay of Plenty.

Regional newspapers and websites are being added every week to the Newsie stable.

Sun Media director Brian Rogers said Newsie is a unique and powerful new concept - a cooperative effort of independent publishers the length and breadth of New Zealand, united in their commitment to pool resources and to create a truly independent and balanced national news service.

It is in the early stages of development, he says.

“We’ll be adding many more independent publishers to the pool in coming months, along with freelancers throughout the country and offering New Zealanders their own voice.

“We have secured reliable and balanced sources of international and national news, and sports feeds, so as Newsie grows and expands there’ll be more to read, opportunity to comment and give feedback.

“This is truly a news-site for New Zealanders, by New

Zealanders, who at last have the chance to make it their own.”

Rogers says Newsie will have an “incredible depth” of regional and national coverage thanks to its media partners.

“They are the eyes and ears of their communities and are committed to feeding a rich variety of important regional news, colourful stories of New Zealanders and some entertaining tales.

“Clickbait is banned; the Kardashians outlawed…

Newsie will have real news about Kiwis and we’ll never ask

readers if they can believe what happens next. Tramps will not buy Ferraris and celebrities will have to earn a mention, not merely get a haircut or change spouse.”

And why the name Newsie?

Newsie is an old term, coined circa 1875 as an historical nickname for newsboys, journalists and the like whose mission it was to deliver the real, important news to the readers – exactly what Newsie looking to achieve.

Town and Country Day a big hit What a success! With the best of weather and a fantastic community turn out, this year’s Town and Country day was a huge hit for retailers and visitors. Kids loved taking train rides on Sammy the Steam Train, the live music was a treat and the lines were a long, well worth it wait for the Little Bo Peeps farm. A fabulous day was had by all.

with Dr Ruoh Sim

There has been an awareness campaign by the government recently about Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and an increased funding for its vaccines (called Gardasil) for both boys and girls. So let’s learn about it.

HPV is extremely common and most men and women who have been sexually active are infected with it at some time in their lives. Most HPV infections are thought to clear naturally and do not cause health problems. However, for some, it can cause precancerous lesions in the genital tract and mouth, and genital warts.

Rates of throat cancers have risen sharply since the 1980s and many are caused by HPV and they affect males at higher rates than females. HPV-related cancers cause more than 50 deaths, every year, in New Zealand- most of which were preventable.

Gardasil, given through injection, can protect against many strains of HPV and it protects both males and females from most cancers caused by HPV. It has been offered to New Zealand girls partly to help reduce cervical cancer. More than 200,000 New Zealand females have received the vaccine since 2008.

From 1st January 2017, funding for Gardasil has increased and both boys and girls are now included in the HPV school vaccination programme for year 8 students. Outside of that as long as you are 26 years old or under, you can also have this funded vaccine given at your family doctor’s clinic. So, do enquire about it now and give yourself the best protection.

Tai Chi benefits Parkinson’s victims

By KELLY TEED

A

new Tai Chi initiative is back to help victims of Parkinson’s Disease.

The Chen Tai Chi Centre in Highland Park has teamed up with Parkinson’s New Zealand to create a class to specifically benefit those with the disease.

Parkinson’s is a degenerative neurological condition where the brain receives a lack of dopamine, often resulting in reduced activity.

The numerous benefits of exercise are well-known, however for those who live with what’s known as a movement disorder, it can be a difficult task both mentally and physically.

Parkinson’s New Zealand community educator Yvonne Glassborow says there is much more to Parkinson’s than meets the eye.

“Exercise is important for everybody but particularly important for people with Parkinson’s because they must keep themselves moving.

“Many people with Parkinson’s will tell you it’s the nonmotor symptoms that bother them more than the motor symptoms – fatigue, pain, depression, anxiety – it’s so much more than a movement disorder.”

Tai Chi has been shown to improve flexibility and stamina and class participants have reported feeling benefits and often return for more.

“Muscle tightness and stiffness is a real problem and this helps to overcome that,” said Ms Glassborow.

“It’s keeping them independent and supple and it’s great – anything that anybody can do to keep them independent is just really important.”

Class teacher Malisa Ng says the benefits of Tai Chi go far

beyond the physical ones with the class also doubling as a support group.

“It’s a social thing as well to keep them positive and talk about things together...they let go of tension and stress in the body and mind,” she said.

Ms Glassborow says while people with Parkinson’s Disease can attend a normal Tai Chi group, some are hesitant to do so as they worry even a slight tremor will make them stand out in a regular group.

To combat this, Ms Glassborow and Ms Ng hold weekly meetings where they work together to understand the disease and how to best customise lessons for those struggling.

The result is a welcoming class where Ms Ng works to

every individual’s level allowing them to work at their own pace.

Ms Glassborow says it’s important for people with Parkinson’s to remember the class is specifically for them.

“Everyone is the same [in the class] and supporting each other. It doesn’t matter what you do, at the end of the day we keep trying until you get there,” she said.

“It’s not a case of coming in and feeling isolated that everyone else can do it and you can’t.

“Malisa makes them feel welcome and walks them through it at your pace so there’s nothing to be fearful of.”

rise faster than the rate of inflation.

In fact, at the end of last year, unemployment had fallen to 4.9 per cent and is projected to fall to a further 4.3 per cent by 2020/21; more people are now in employment – a record of 2.5 million; 144,000 jobs were created last year and a further 140,000 are expected to be created by 2020/21.

To help New Zealand stay on track with these goals, it is important for this country to have New Zealanders returning and contributing.

Immigration has always been an important contributor to New Zealand’s economic growth, but we always need to back our own first and foremost.

These figures also point to migration, in particular return migration, to be another crucial component to New Zealand’s growth and development.

recently reminded Parliament, four years ago 40,000 Kiwis left New Zealand to live in Australia.

Now, this has all changed.

The net migration from Australia to New Zealand is now at zero.

Kiwis are returning home and choosing to back their home country again.

Not only does this demonstrate people’s confidence in New Zealand and recognition of the way our country has moved forward, this return will also have a positive contribution to our growth.

In the next five years, annual economic growth is expected to average approximately 3 per cent.

This means that more jobs can be supported, unemployment will keep tracking downwards, and incomes will continue to

A warm welcome home people New Zealand has proudly been a significant attraction for tourists from all over the globe.

Total international visitor spending reached $10.1 billion in the year to December 2016, with visitor spending up 4 per cent over the same period the year before.

In 2016 we welcomed 3.5 million visitors to our shores with holiday-makers’ spending totalling $6.4b, up 10 per cent year on year.

This is positive news for a nation that prides itself on being an international tourist haven.

But it’s not just tourists that are voting with their feet.

So are Kiwis.

In previous years, the numbers of New Zealanders leaving to live overseas was high.

Australia has been a particular destination of choice for many of our friends and love ones.

Sevens star gives back to school

e might be playing for the big guns now, but Tone Ng Shiu hasn’t forgotten where he came from.

The 22-year-old All Black Sevens star was welcomed back onto the Botany Downs Secondary College campus before catching a flight to Vancouver with the rest of the squad to play the fourth leg of the 2016/17 HSBC World Series. He was surprised at the front gates with a rousing haka by current students and a small group of old boys before being presented with an old school sports jersey from principal Karen Brinsden who spoke of how proud the school community was of Ng Shiu’s achieve-

the robbery is the second of its kind in three weeks.

Police were unable to verify this.

“Thanks to caring witnesses and social media, a description of the perpetrator and his vehicle were provided to Police who now have a suspect in custody for today’s (Wednesday’s) incident,” Martin said.

“We’re following positive leads and our guys will be ... following up with her.”

Police would be deploying more staff “at peak times”, he said.

But for the very first time, Howick Lions Club went solo to run the Howick Lions Summer Festival on Sunday at Lloyd Elsmore Park.

With support from the Howick Local Board, they managed to pull off a fun show.

The festival had a great line-up of entertainment that included a performance

by Roger Skinner and the Motivation band; followed a show of flexibility by

gymnasts from the Flow Gym and dancers from the Doyle Academy of Irish dance.

High energy performances by award-winning students of Triple A Aerobics, run by Amanda Bush, eight times New Zealand Champion and World ranked international athlete, had the audience cheering.

There was plenty of fancy foot-work as dancers from Carter Chan Dance studio made some groovy moves on stage. Adding a multicultural flavour were dancers from the Bollywood Party group.

Adding to the fun and festivity was Howick

Local Board member and town crier Jim Donald in traditional tartan, inviting people from the audience to join in the Scottish Country Dancing.

Recreating history with a gladiator fight was Imperial Romana, a friendly bunch of history enthusiasts.

14 — Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, March 2, 2017

The stage is set for The Emperor Conducted by Uwe Grodd, the Manukau Symphony Orchestra’s (MSO) performance of Emperor on March 18 will be a treat for classical music fans.

Mr Grodd, music director of MSO, will be joined by skilled piano soloist Michael Houstoun in Beethoven’s mighty Emperor Piano Concerto in Eb major, written in a period from which many of his best works came.

“It was Beethoven who woke me up to myself as a musician,” says Mr Houstoun.

“The thing about Beethoven is that he somehow synthesises human psychological truths, with all their subtlety and all of their range, into music.”

The two-hour show is the first of the 2017 season and brings Beethoven’s brilliant Emperor Piano Concerto to the stage, as well as Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.3 in D major, The Polish.

At a performance in the United Kingdom in 1899, it was referred to as the Polish Symphony, reminiscent of the recurring Polish dance rhythms prominent in the symphony’s final movement.

The Polish was first performed in Moscow in November 1875, and is full of dance rhythms, giving it an attractive vitality and making it a little less grand than the standard symphony of the time.

The show is at the Vodafone Events Centre, 770 Great South Road, Manukau on Saturday, March 18 at 7:30pm.

Win!

The Times has two tickets to give away. To enter write your name, address and daytime phone number on the back of an envelope and send to MSO Emperor giveaway, Times Newspapers, PO Box 259-243, Botany 2163 or enter online at www.times.co.nz by 12 noon on Friday, March 10.

Howick’s popular fun run, walk still popular T

he Howick Rotary Fun Walk and Run is back for another year, and organisers are hoping the annual community event will be more popular than ever.

It started with only a couple of hundred people in 2005, but last year, around 600 people showed up to run or walk one of three scenic routes. Walkers or runners can choose from a 5.9km short course, 6.9km intermediate course or an 8.1km extended course.

The track caters for all levels of fitness, said organising

committee member Colin Monk, and encourages mum and dad to get along for the run too.

“It’s about promoting a healthy lifestyle. We encourage families to get in the exercise and take their kids in pushchairs and walk with them if they want to walk, or for those who are a bit more enthusiastic, go for a run.”

The Rotary Club of Howick started planning in September for the event, organising sponsors and teams, including Les Mills, Mitre 10 Mega Botany, Times

Hydrolyzed collagen is the same collagen found naturally in bones, skin and cartilage. It is a bioactive product containing 90% protein and is easily assimilated by the body. Hydrolyzed collagen is more easily digested because of its low molecular weight and is absorbed within 30 minutes of taking and is suitable for use in hot or cold liquids.May also be added to smoothie, juices and beverages. Beneficial for replacing synovial fluids between joints as well as supporting skin, hair and muscle tissue. Great Lakes Gelatin provides the same benefits but is recommended for use in regular and dietetic recipes.

Welcome to the Ormiston Weight Loss Service. Our service is intended to offer our community a surgical choice and clinical support, to assist in taking ownership of your health and moving forward to a greater place of wellness.

Bariatric Surgery assists in weight loss and may be recommended as a last resort when diet, exercise and medication have not been successful and if obesity related conditions such as heart disease, asthma, high blood

pressure, sleep apnoea and type II diabetes have worsened, among other problems.

The aim of the surgery is to reduce the foodholding capacity of the stomach so the patient has a feeling of fullness after eating very little.

Without hunger pangs, the person tends to lose interest in overeating and is more likely to stick to a low-kilojoule diet.

When you choose Ormiston Hospital Weight Loss Service for your surgery, you choose the most experienced surgeons, treating you in the well-established Ormiston Hospital.

We are dedicated to offering you a complete and comprehensive service with a fixed fee that will provide you with the best level of care through your journey to improved health.

I do not attend or read such articles. That is the freedom of choice.

I on the other hand do not have that freedom when your Christian folk knock on my door forcing their lifestyle upon me in my own home.

How big of you that “as Christians you tolerate their choice”. How would our society possibly survive without your blessed tolerance?

In reply to S. Mulligan’s letter (Times, February 16), instead of attacking the author, let’s address the issue here.

It was Edmund Spencer who wrote: “There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument and which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance, that principle is condemnation before investigation”.

At the core of your letter is your definition of secularism. The dictionary definition of secularism is as follows: “things pertaining to the present world or to things not spiritual or sacred. Worldly, temporal, profane founded on natural morality as opposed to religious education”.

So like atheism, secularism suffers nothing to do with any supernatural world. It begs the questions, do we live in a supernatural world or not? The evidence, both histori-

cal and experiential, is overwhelming in favour so, yes, I’m confident in the evidence that we do.

While I would preserve the separation of state and religion, the two do exist for their mutual benefit. Secularism does not set out to protect religious freedoms as you expressed; this has been achieved within our democratic rights. Secularism merely contradicts and dismisses the traditional beliefs in the supernatural world.

We owe it to ourselves - do our own homework and sort out the truth from the lie. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Stories, sounds and Home is where flavours of Auckland the heart is F

or the first time, Auckland Arts Festival is producing Whanui – five large-scale, community-based projects from Henderson to Flat Bush.

Whanui is a series of participatory works commissioned by the Auckland Arts Festival in collaboration with established artists and community representatives.

All five projects culminate in a free event.

Featuring hundreds of participants, including 40 photographers aged six to 12 years, it will be a celebration that showcases the diversity of Tamaki Makaurau.

Auckland Arts Festival Artistic director, Carla van Zon says, “Diversity is at the heart of the Auckland Arts Festival’s programming philosophy, and we are committed to engaging with the many different people who call Auckland home. The Festival not only wants to connect with this vast audience, but also with each community’s stories, ideas and performances.

“We can’t wait to share these and many more stories, sounds and flavours of Auckland in March.”

Whanui is supported by Creative New Zealand and Foundation North through The Auckland Diversity Project Fund.

The five projects from March 8-26 include: ■■ He Korowai Hapori (Our Community Cloak) Blessing and opening on Saturday, March 18. Exhibition at Te Whare Piringa, 29A Fenchurch Street, Glenn Innes, from March 18-26. He Korowai Hapori is a project lead by Ruapotaka Marae to create a large-scale korowai that will incorporate 7500 tiny perspex houses. Throughout February, dozens of people from a cross-section of community groups are joining in the creative process at Ruapotaka Marae and Te Whare Piringa Fenchurch.

■■ Samaroh The Great Indian Carnival, Saturday, March 18, 6-10pm at Sandringham Road Reserve. Prayas Theatre Company will be ramping up the spice and colour, transforming Sandringham Road Reserve with the hustle, bustle, sights and sound of an Indian night market. With street performers and live music, there’s also a special Bollywood karaoke.

■■ Fonua (Tongan for Land) Saturday and Sunday March 11 and 12 at 8pm, Mangere Arts Centre Created by a group of some of Auckland’s emerging Pacific theatre artists alongside as many as 50 community

members, Fonua is a performance piece from our Polynesian community, incorporating dance, music, and song.

T

he Good Home in Howick has a brand new chef on site and he’s wasted no time in creating exciting new menus that you will want to try for yourself.

■■ Repertoire: Hip Hop Frequencies and Visual Sequences Saturday, March 11 from 11am-3pm at Toia, Otahuhu (watch the creation of street art) and Saturday, March 18, 10pm-1am at Basement Theatre and Bar, Auckland. Working in collaboration with radio REPFM, six MCs from all over Tamaki Makaurau, and six street artists from Forever Def Kings Never Surrender will embark on an Auckland-wide bus-tour to learn stories from their own communities, before responding to these insights through hip hop and art.

Kiwi born local Gordon Mann is an accomplished chef with his own unique style, a soft spot for all things seafood and a love for cooking fresh, locally-sourced food.

Gordon has returned from Europe with a head full of ideas and a passion to create new, exciting and gastronomic delights, where all good meals start… at home…The Good Home, and we all know home is where the heart is.

Gordon is excited to release the revamped Good Home Dinner Menu sometime in the next two or three weeks, with more of a summery theme, lighter food and more variety.

A few special signature dishes he has perfected over the years will keep you coming back.

A couple to tempt you - his homemade gourmet pie is to die for and the sticky toffee pudding… well, need I say more!

Our Daily Evening Specials will continue with Gordon creating new dishes every night for you to savour and enjoy and to keep you wanting more.

Some values drop past three months with the average value now $1,224,673.

Waitakere City values were up by 13.8 per cent year on year but decreased 1.7 per cent since December, with the average value dropping from $845,864 to $831,705.

Values in the former Manukau city area rose 14.2 per cent year on year but decreased slightly by 0.4 per cent since December, with the average value down from $906,004 to $902,477. Values in the former North Shore City suburbs also rose 11.2 per cent year on year but decreased 2.2 per cent over the past three months from an average value of $1,224,477 in December to $1,196,987. Rodney is still increasing with values there up 13.6 per cent year on year and 1.4 per cent over the past three months and the average value is $936,877. Franklin is also up 13.3 per cent year on year and 2.4 per cent since December and it has an average value of $663,638. Papakura values also increased 13.6 per cent year on year and 0.9 per cent over the past three months and the average there is now $686,465.

QV Auckland homevalue manager James Steele said: “There continues to be uncertainty around where home values are going and there has also been a surge in listings coming onto the market during February which is giving buyers more choice.”

Homeowners should use a Registered Quantity Surveyor to help them make sure their property is fully insured, the NZ Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NZIQS) says.

NZIQS president Jeremy Shearer says now, following the Kaikoura earthquake, is a good time for all residential and commercial building owners to take stock of their policies.

“Engage a Registered Quantity Surveyor to determine your insurance values.

They are building cost experts, and will be able to tell property owners exactly how much insurance they need.

“That way homeowners and building owners can have confidence they won’t be caught short if disaster strikes.

His advice comes off the back of the Insurance and Financial Services Ombudsman’s, Karen Stevens, warning about learning from the underinsured.

Currently, most homeowners and insurers agree on the amount the insurer

will pay, called a ‘sum insured’, or they accept a default figure.

This method is a change from the previous practice of insurers paying whatever it costs to rebuild the house.

The change was prompted by the Christchurch earthquakes, after which many insurers discovered their liability was much higher than had been expected.

Mr Shearer says very few people seek

insurance replacement advice because the default option is provided by the insurers.

So, in cases of revising insurance policies, he says using a professional should be ‘a must’ as doing so without the right advice could prove costly.

“People must remember that the sum insured amount is not the current value of your house, but the total cost of rebuilding it.

“Meanwhile, values in the Wellington region continue to accelerate with values up more than 21.0 per cent over the past year and 4.3 per cent over the past quarter.”

“The Dunedin market also remains buoyant, with strong levels of activity and demand and continued steady value growth. While parts of Auckland have seen values drop values continue to rise in central Auckland, Waiheke Island and in Rodney and Franklin.

“The same trend of negative growth was seen in parts of the Auckland market this time last year following the introduction of the 30.0 per cent LVR rules for investors introduced in October 2015, then value began increasing again by April 2016.”

“So it’s possible the latest quarterly decrease seen in parts of the Auckland will be relatively short-lived as the market drivers of relatively low interest rates, strong net migration and a high number of sales to investors remain.”

AucklandHome values have risen over the past three months in some parts of the Auckland region but have decreased in others as the latest round of LVR restrictions take effect.

SOUTH EAST

esign & Build South East is a guide covering building issues in southeast Auckland. From Howick, Pakuranga, Ormiston, Pine Harbour, Beachlands and Maraetai, to Manukau, Takanini and Papakura, this annual magazine covers an area where demand for homes is at a premium.

This special publication looks at buyers’ options within these unique communities from apartment to family homes; suburban to coastal lifestyles. We examine buying off-the-plan, subdividing large sections and opting for a smaller lifestyle block. Home renovation, landscaping, architecture, local infrastructure and more will come under the spotlight and there will also be a strong focus on town developments and the growth of amenities. With numerous choices available, we ask what are the real points of difference that building companies and home services offer?

To help showcase your business we are offering an editorial bonus. Submit your editorial contribution (of approximately 250 words) to be run with all bookings over a half page – subject to the editor’s discretion and as space allows for smaller bookings.

This full colour, glossy information guide aims to aid in the decision-making process. The publication will be available for pickup throughout south-east Auckland and online at timeshouse.co.nz.

Cricket results

Ioane centre of attention R

ieko Ioane’s brilliant try-scoring hat-trick in the Blues 56-18 Super Rugby romp against the Rebels in Melbourne has given substance to Steve Hansen’s belief his best position will be centre rather than wing.

Whether Blues coach Tana Umaga keeps him there in the face of competition from George Moala and Rene Ranger remains to be seen with all three capable of playing both positions.

At 19, Ioane is an amazing prospect who possesses power and pace and a fierce hunger for tries. But what probably most impressed Umaga and All Black coach Hansen was a crunching tackle he made in the season’s opener.

The possibility of a dynamic midfield partnership between playmaker Sonny Bill Williams and finisher Ioane offers exciting possibilities for Blues fans sick of seeing their team under perform for far too long.

That is dependent on how well veteran Williams,

Agnew’s Angle 31, recovers from the nasty Achilles injury which cut short his 2016 Rio Olympic sevens bid. But should he do so and leave Piers Francis to contest the first-five berth with Ihaia West, he could provide the backline cohesion the Blues have so desperately needed.

In former All Black captain Umaga, a man who played wing and both midfield positions, they have the ideal mentor.

New chums to impress in their Blues debut were former Chiefs halfback Augustine Pulu, Chiefs prop Pauliasi Manu, Otago fullback Michael Collins and former Counties and Crusader loose forward and lock Jimmy Tupou, who captained the side.

The powerful Pulu scored a stunning long range try from a lineout and also has lead-

ership qualities that should serve the backline well.

Joining him and Rieko Ioane as the stars to shine against the Rebels was Steven Luatua, who has disappointed Hansen with his decision to join Bristol coach Pat Lam at the end of the season.

But who could blame him after Liam Squire and Elliot Dixon were preferred as backups for All Black captain Kieran Read and Jerome Kaino last year?

I’m not criticising the national selectors choice, but I do believe that against such strong competition the talented Luatua stands to gain far more financially by moving to England.

It was also disappointing Hansen should label Lam an ex-Kiwi after no one called him or Graham Henry one when they coached Wales before getting the same job with the All Blacks.

Nor should anyone label possible future All Black coach Dave Rennie one when he departs from the Chiefs to mentor Glasgow at the end of

the season.

With so much depth in so many positions, Hansen can expect many more potential internationals will chase he big money abroad. That so many have stayed illustrates the pulling power of the silver fern.

Meanwhile expect the Chiefs to provide a much sterner test of the Blues mettle when they host them on Friday night.

Having broken their sixgame jinx against the Highlanders in Dunedin despite having to defend for most of the game, the Chiefs will hope to sharpen their attack.

It should be an intriguing contest, especially in the backs where Rieko Ioane and Pulu are likely to come face to face with Anton LienartBrown and Tawera KerrBarlow respectively.

It will also be a big test for the Blues scrum after the Chiefs pack applied awesome power to shunt back the Highlanders.

Taekwon-Do elite meet to share knowledge ➤ From Page 32

Master Paul McPhail, 8th dan, Technical Advisor for New Zealand, is also part of the ITF Technical Committee who shared his knowledge at the seminar. “The Instructors and black belts (got) first-hand information from the best of the best which is a huge bonus,” says Bhana who took an interest in martial arts as a teenager and has carried on since then.

Participants got to train with Grandmaster Hector Marano, (Argentina) - Chairman of ITF Technical Committee and Grandmaster Ung Kim Lan, (Germany) who are both 9th dans and regarded as living legends in the ITF Taekwon-Do world who have been black belts since the 1960s.

Taekwon-Do elite meet belts the latest technical updates and technical skills.

One of only four 8th Dan black belts in ITF Taekwon-Do in New Zealand, Master Mahesh Bhana (Pakuranga) says the seminar is a real highlight for all involved and carries a large amount of knowledge for all participants.

‘It’s a premier event on the TKD calendar next to the world cup and world champs. The seminar is an important platform to gain valuable knowledge from two ITF Taekwon-Do legends Grandmasters Hector Marano and Ung Kim Lan who continue the legacy of General Choi Hong Hi (General Choi Hong Hi was the originator of Taekwon-Do).

country of your birth.”

While walking out onto Eden Park would be an intimidating experience for many, Phillips didn’t let the pressure get to him.

“In the end it’s just more people, whether you’re being seen by 2000 or 30,000 ,” he said.

“Being able to calm my thoughts and think clearly with all the noise is the challenging part but I wouldn’t say it was any more nerve-racking than walking out to my debut for my domestic T20.”

He says the standard at international level cricket is something you can’t know what to expect until you’re playing at that level, but says his experience has given him an idea of what to work on to get to where he wants to be.

“In a couple of years, I’d definitely like to be consistent enough to make my ODI debut but if I get another T20 chance I’m definitely going to take it up,” he said.
