but we don’t know quite when,” said DevonportTakapuna Local Board chair Grant Gillon. The change was made without the local board being consulted and “is regarded as the first stage a building goes through in the move to disposal,” Gillon said. The board is now beginning yet another battle to preserve the building. At its next meeting, it has a motion to engage a consultant to work up a case for it to be retained for community use. In addition to the information centre and community coordinator, it houses a display of Devonport history by Devonport Museum. BID manager Toni van Tonder is also based there. A major sticking point has been the huge earthquake-strengthening bill of around $1 million, which hangs over the building. The council doesn’t want to spend the money on a building it sees as not being vital to the

community. The non-service status means it will be leased out at commercial rates or sold. Local board members met last week with Panuku Development (the council’s property arm) about the building’s change in status. Panuku agreed not to do anything before the end of April, to allow the board to come back with its consultant’s findings, Gillon said. He said the lack of consultation with the board was disturbing. “We seem to be fighting a lot of battles to preserve what we’ve got.” • The former post office/council chambers at 3 Victoria Rd was opened in 1908 as a purpose-built post office, which it stayed until 1938, when a larger one was opened further up Victoria Rd. From 1939, it was used by Devonport Borough Council and later the Devonport Community Board, until the creation of Auckland Council.

Visitor centre will fight to stay Around 17,000 people have been to the volunteer-run Devonport visitor information centre in the last 10 months. Since the start of February, more than 4500 “walk-ins” had been to the centre, volunteer Lynn Dawson told the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board public forum earlier this month. Dawson had presented to the board, hoping for support for what had become a well-used service for visitors over summer. She told the Flagstaff last week, “it’s not a

cost centre, it’s a public service.” People from all over the world had come to the centre – from the ferry, and in cars and camper vans. Locals used the centre as well. “Its an absolute no-brainer to have the centre. Tourism is our highest export earner and people want the centre.” As far as changes to the building use went, the volunteers were concerned a well-used service was “being thrown out”. They were determined to fight to stay, Dawson said.

Undies and out: lingerie store closing after 13 years Devonport Lingerie – the last independent underwear store on the North Shore – is closing on 30 April, after 13 years in business. Store owner Donna Gustafson says, “I want to go out on a high while I’m still enjoying being here.” She intends to spend more time with her ageing parents and children Thomas and Ella. “I will miss the fantastic group of loyal customers and it’s been really nice meeting all the people,” she says “It is a shame because a lot of people will miss the shop.” Over the years, trading has become more difficult due to the competition from large stores such Farmers, who often offer discounts, and also the rise of online shopping. Sales have also fallen since Auckland Council banned shop signs at the end of the Queens Parade. Selling the store is not being considered at the moment, says Gustafson. “If someone walked in and said they wanted to buy the business, we would consider it.” But “the numbers” suggest it was better to Moving on...

New comfy cinema for The Vic A new lounge-style cinema opens at The Vic this week. The venue’s fourth theatre will take up the existing lounge bar area, screening alternative and art-house films, mainly in the mornings and late evenings. “The Vic Lounge” will be a flexible space that easily converts from cinema to a bar and food area, or to a live-performance space. It will have comfortable couches as well as cinema seats, and will also be available for private movie screenings.

The move follows a bumper summer at The Vic, which had its best January ticket sales since reopening in 2010. The Victoria Theatre Trust is also pushing ahead with its plan to finish replacing the cinema seats in the downstairs Victoria Theatre. with only 26 seats to go. The trust will apply for grants to enable it to complete the middle section of the cinema. • To buy a seat, go to the “About & Contact” section of thevic.co.nz and use the donation tab.

“I can’t draw for toffee”

Public meeting on maunga future A public meeting will be held in Devonport to discuss the ban on cars to the summit of Takarunga/Mt Victoria. Plans for the public meeting – at a date

yet to be set – follow a meeting last week between the Maunga Authority and a small delegation of Devonport community representatives.

Heritage area design challenges: info night The challenges of designing a contemporary house in a heritage area is the subject of the third Devonport Heritage 2017 information night next month. The construction of modern buildings in Auckland and Devonport’s character areas is often contentious, and can provoke strong feelings in communities. The Heritage night will examine the

issue through the example of a successful contemporary home in Summer Street, with a presentation by the owner and architect. A history and stories of Buchanan St will also be featured. The Heritage and Contemporary Night is on 5 April at 7.30pm at the Devonport Yacht Club. Entry is free (koha welcome). Bar open.

The Flagstaff Notes

March 23, 2018 By Rob Drent A mate from Whangarei visited last week and I took him and his son on a walk up the now carless road to the summit of Takarunga/ Mt Victoria. The difference was marked between the congestion and fumes from cars at the foot of the mountain – trying to get up but blocked by new fencing – compared to a now uncluttered road. I met a couple of locals I didn’t know on the way down, who both commented how great the ban was. And on the summit, there were numerous people – many who appeared to be tourists – enjoying the tranquility and views. The Devonport group seeking greater local consultation on the operation of the mountain met last week with the Maunga Authority, which has said it will hold a public meeting. For me it’s all a bit late in the day – like the meetings MP Maggie Barry held at Fort Takapuna after the deal had been done to sell land to Ngati Whatua, and at Bayswater Primary School after marina developer Simon Herbert had bought the marina land. A Maunga Authority-locals working party for the mountain would be a good idea though. The group pushing for more consultation on the maunga seems a little surprised at the way higher authorites come stamping down on once proudly Independent Devonport. The reality is it has been happening for years, and

is getting worse. Take the recent “consultation” over the plans for the revamp of Windsor Reserve playground. Council staff put a display in the library with a suggestion box alongside. Trouble is, council didn’t tell anyone it was there. Even DevonportTakapuna Local Board member Mike Cohen didn’t know the display was there. In fact, he thought the board had put aside budget for the consultation to be via the Flagstaff. What the future holds for Maungauika/ North Head is unknown as the mountain is still under the juristiction of DoC, before transfer to the Maunga Authority. I do wonder if a grand scheme will one day be hatched for the North Head tunnels, similar in scope but not exactly the same as the one approved recently by Auckland Council for the Albert Park tunnels. Let’s hope that before any ink gets on this drawing board that Auckland Transport has a serious look at providing enhanced public transport solutions for the Devonport peninsula. I hope the albatross sculpture earmarked by Auckland Council for Victoria Wharf is knocked back. What relationship do albatrosses have to Devonport? Precisely none. Public art is to be encouraged, but at this location a work that symbolises the wharf and the part it has played in Auckland’s maritime history might be more appropriate. Again there was no wider consultation on the artwork, although “stakeholders” such as the Depot were talked to.

Shining a light on lamp’s disappearance I h av e b ee n c onc e rne d w ith the disappearance of the lamp on King Edward Pde, celebrating peace in South Africa. I believe it was made by an Italian, who lived in Oxford Tce and worked behind David Martin Motors in Wynyard St. Annunzio was his name, though I’m not sure if that is the correct spelling. Would the Flagstaff be prepared to write a piece about this very special former feature in our village? Hopefully it will return to the waterfront before too long.

Funicular required I support the proposal to get rid of cars on Auckland’s maunga, including Mt Victoria, but only on condition that access to the summit for the old and frail is ensured by installing a funicular.

Bonkers bin policy a load of rubbish Please someone explain the logic of this new imposed bin system. No sooner has the council collected most of the blue and yellow bins, they now want us to reuse them, if you still have one, or order a new one. Where was the forward planning here and how much is this little excercise going to cost? This will increase rubbish of all kinds because human nature in general dictates that we stuff as much in as possible to get our money’s worth. As for reducing plastic bags, most people will want to wrap their smelly waste in a bag of some description anyway, or suffer foul-smelling fluid and maggots etc

in the bottom of their new bins. And who is really going to be bothered to wash these out regularly? More bins accumulated on the kerbside that the new trucks (how many, how much?) won't be able to get at because of parked cars etc, unlike the current human collectors who are blessed with legs and can negotiate objects with a bag in hand. And are these valuable people (maybe hundreds) going to be made redundant? On a positive note, I guess it will thwart cats, dogs and seagulls. I trust that some bureaucrat will try and persuade me that it is the best policy “going forward”. Rob Powell

Interview

March 23, 2018

Ferry regular’s voyage from maths to monographs At 85, local identity Garry Tee is professor emeritus with the Department of Mathematics at the University of Auckland. He tells Geoff Chapple about his beginnings as a young maths whizz, rubbing shoulders with some of the greats in computing and his second-string interest in scientific history. For the last 50 years, Garry Tee has always known exactly how long it takes him to get from his Domain St apartment to the Fullers cross-harbour ferry. In 1968, when he first took up residence in Devonport, the journey took 11 minutes. “No – wait.” Tee holds up a hand while he corrects his own estimate. “That was 11 minutes walking in 1968, but there were a number of cats along the route, so that I found it necessary to allow 13 minutes, because any one of those cats was likely to come out and order me to stroke it before proceeding further.” As the years have passed, age and, more recently, arthritic feet have slowed his walking time to 40 minutes. But Tee’s times remain subject to the same scrupulous calculation he applies to everything. He’s never late for the ferry, but that’s not to say he has never missed it. Occasionally the man in the distinctive plaid flat cap is left stranded on the wharf by a departing ferry and can be seen rechecking his watch, stamping his foot, and murmuring – “Drat!” Anyone who’s witnessed this scene knows also that Tee is not chastising himself for being fractionally late, but that the ferry skipper should take the rap for casting off fractionally early. Garry Tee came barefoot out of the 1930s Great Depression and the South Island railways camps of that era, his father an engineer, and the son showing a precocious mathematical talent, even as an eight-year-old. He leapfrogged primary classes two years at a time, then, aged 11, and with the elite Auckland schools open to him, chose instead Seddon Memorial Technical College. He skipped School Certificate and University Entrance, and went straight to the New Zealand University Junior Scholarship exams. The results came out in 1948 when the Tee family was holidaying near Russell. Tee picked up a New Zealand Herald at the local shop. Front page was a story quoting an ecstatic Seddon Tech headmaster whose pupil had just beaten out the best that King’s College or Mt Albert Grammar could offer – a boy both younger, and some 48 points ahead of the second place-getter in the Junior Scholarship. “I looked at that front page,” says Tee now, “cried out ‘Heavens, I’m tops’, and collapsed onto the floor.” He completed a first-class honours degree in mathematics, then left for north-west Australia. There he crouched in a Quonset hut using mechanical calculators and slide rules as practical aids to turn raw oil exploration data into useable summaries and graphs. But even out in the desert there was a buzz in the air. The computer revolution hadn’t hit Australia yet, but it was underway in England and America. The young oil-industry number cruncher was

Timekeeping down to a tee... Garry Tee’s cross-harbour commutes remain subject to expert calculation young and talented enough to know his future lay that way. In 1958, English Electric, Britain’s biggest engineering company, signed Tee on as a maths consultant, programming what was then the best commercially available computer of its day – the Deuce. The computer was the size of a small house, and sufficiently roomy that during the cold English winters Tee and other operators would bask in the heat of thousands of glowing thermionic valves. He moved from industry to an academic post at Lancaster University, then on to Stanford, teaching physicists and other mathematicians how to use the new computer language, Algol. He taught himself Russian, and became one of the go-to advisers on the rapidly advancing Soviet science scene. Tee met most of the important early computer scientists, among them Gene Golub, whose

techniques for searching large and complex data structures would be refined by Google to perfect its search engines, and Swiss programming genius Niklaus Wirth, who predicted to Tee that the large mainframe computers of IBM would be overtaken by compact computers – small enough and cheap enough to be set aside for the exclusive use of just one engineer or mathematician. True to the prediction, and small as it was, the laptop’s computing power was millions of times more powerful than the computers of the 1940s and 50s. In 1968, the University of Auckland proposed that Tee come back to teach. This struck a chord. “I’d been overseas since 1958, and I was starting to find the English social-class system a shaggy dog story of which the point had long ago been lost.” Tee taught computer skills and computer history, and maths, but began also to develop a

March 23, 2018 second string to his career, producing carefully researched papers that delved into this country’s links to 19th century and 20th century science. He’d noted that rich tradition even as early as 1971, when the Museum of New Zealand’s geology exhibition displayed a historic iguanodon tooth. The tooth was the British fossil collector Gideon Mantell’s first proof, and in fact the world’s first proof, of an ancient land-based reptile – a dinosaur. The tooth had been brought to New Zealand by Walter Mantell, the collector’s son, who’d gifted it to the museum. Seven years later, Tee checked the museum again, and the tooth had disappeared, apparently uncatalogued, into the dim, overstuffed museum basement, where objects lose their identity because of staff changes, and later go out with the rubbish. Tee stayed on the case, insisting “this highly significant fossil” be found. Weeks later, as a result of his agitation, it was located. These days it’s one of Te Papa Tongarewa’s most treasured items, alarmed against theft whenever it’s on public showing. Another astonishing relic came to public notice when Tee identified a rusty piece of machinery that had gathered dust for a century on a farm near Whanganui. It was part of a large ‘difference engine’ that was being built in the 1820s by the engineering genius Charles Babbage. It was another significant piece of science history, for Babbage is acknowledged as the father of the modern computing. Despite Tee’s attempts to preserve it within New Zealand, the relic was later sold off for $1million. In 1981, Tee faced his greatest crisis. A tumour pressing on the left-hand side of his brain was visibly pushing his brain to the right, and there was little option but surgery, and the outcome was uncertain. “The operation took 12 hours. I awoke as the nexus of a maze of wires and tubes. After three days, I felt strong enough to look at a book. A cousin visited me, and I invited him to take out the largest of the three volumes I’d brought

to the hospital – a large treatise on advanced mathematics, in Russian. He later told me he’d never seen such a look of relief as flooded over my face, when I found I could read the Russian text, and understand the mathematics, without effort.” The monographs kept coming – on the electromagnetics of Michael Faraday, or the extensive correspondences between the botanist Charles Darwin and New Zealand scientists. But most exciting of all was another gumshoe clue, picked up in 1990 at an Auckland Medical Historical Society dinner. Tee overheard an honorary member, Catherine Caughey,

and secrecy was imperative, even decades later. Tee knew however, that by small increments since the 1970s, many of the details had surfaced. Here was yet more and he established Catherine Caughey’s right to tell her story, and coached her book World Wanderer (1996) through to publication. Such encouragement to writers, including at least three locals, the steady production of his monographs, and some teaching continues to be Tee’s life. The arthritis meanwhile has progressed to the point where he now gets a ride to the ferry, and uses a walker to come down the wharf, and later takes a bus home. “The human foot,” says Tee ruefully, indicating the walker as a symbol of an advancing decrepitude, “is an example of very shoddy engineering.” But any time he’s pushing the walker up the street, or down the wharf on his way to work, it’s a symbol too that he won’t stop his exploration of the world and all its works. Nothing stops his insatiable curiosity.

Even in the 1990s, its people were fearful of British government displeasure. Colossus was one of the machines that broke German military codes,

Albatross sculpture still has wings A controversial proposal by Auckland Council to site a large metal-albatross sculpture by Greer Twiss on Victoria Wharf, the waterfront entrance to Devonport, is still in the pipeline. The idea was put last August to the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board, which had mixed feelings about the offer. It wanted to canvass Devonport opinion before giving the final go-ahead. The sculpture Flight Trainer For Albatross depicts three large albatrosses – with wing spans of more than four metres – supported in stainless steel frames. Standing four to five metres high, it was created by Twiss in 2004 and gifted to Auckland by the Auckland Sculpture Trust. Officers said the original sculpture frame would need to be modified for its planned Devonport site. The Flagstaff asked Auckland Council last week about what was happening with the project, and was told it had not been canned and was being progressed. This was news to local-board member Mike Cohen who said the board had yet to be updated. “I hope they (council officers) come back to the board with the final of the design so we can have a full look at it.” While the Depot Artspace had expressed support for the sculpture, Cohen said on a personal level he had concerns about the framework and its size.

Devonport, when council officers were less than enthusiastic about a community-based work to commemorate the women’s suffrage movement that was suggested for Windsor Reserve.

Dead ducks found in polluted pond Seven ducks were found dead in a contaminated pond at Northboro Reserve earlier this month. Takapuna resident Sandra Allen was walking her dog when she discovered the ducks floating in the water. “I think it’s discharge of stormwater from somewhere,” she says. “The water looks horrendous and there are now no ducks or pukekos in sight.” Allen immediately contacted Watercare, as well as Devonport-Takapuna Local Board members Jan O’Connor and George Wood, who were both shocked at the state of the pond, she says. Watercare advised Allen that it was a council issue, and she would need to contact them. “Trying to talk to Auckland Council was so frustrating. I had to spend 20 minutes waiting on the phone to talk to someone about it. They sent down two compliance officers to look at the water, who tried to tell me the pollution was from pollen.” Wood says he visited the reserve and found three ducks dead in the area below the bridge. The water “looks very poor and polluted”, he says. After Wood spoke to Frank Tian from Auckland Council’s Healthy Waters department, compliance officers were sent back to take a sample of the water and test the ducks. “My concern was that so many ducks had disappeared,” says Allen. “Pollen in the water does not kill ducks.” Alison Jones, Healthy Waters’ stormwater response coordinator, confirmed that the ducks appeared to have died from botulism. She also confirmed that the water was contaminated with E.coli. “The crew noted that there does appear to be an oily film in the

Pollution victims... Dead ducks in a pond at Northboro Reserve pond at the moment, so have escalated this issue back to the call centre to be urgently raised with the council’s pollution-response team,” she says. “They did note that the oil was contained.”
