Pukekohe team place second The 2012 reigning champions, Pukekohe High School, came close to defending their title at the annual NZIC Analytical Chemistry Competition last week. The talented Year 13 team of Jemma Simmons, Tim Rasen, Alan Blakemore and Olivia Pointon came second in the competition, narrowly missing out on first place which was won by a team from Hamilton Boys’ High School. The University of Waikato event challenged 88 enthusiastic Year 13 students to spend a day in the University’s laboratories. Third place went to Mount Maunganui College, fourth place to Aquinas College and
fifth place to Otumoetai College. Twenty-two teams of four students from the Waikato/Bay of Plenty regions
entered in this year’s competition. The Pukekohe High team received $160 from sponsor Hill Laboratories.

Plenty of comment Around 22,700 pieces of feedback have been received via forms, emails and letters, as well as an additional 6,540 comments and posts gathered from social media and the Shape Auckland website on the draft Unitary Plan for Auckland. Deputy Mayor Penny Hulse says council chose to release the plan as a draft ‘draft’ so Aucklanders could help shape the proposed rules in the plan before it goes out for notification. “The numbers clearly show our communities have embraced the opportunity to be involved at this early stage. Their views, comments and feedback will all be used to ensure the plan we notify for formal consultation is the best plan possible,” said Penny Hulse. The Auckland Unitary Plan is due to be notified later this year. This is when formal consultation will begin starting with formal submissions.

of the Christchurch earthquakes. Grahame started karate when he was around nine years old, continuing at Shirley Boys High School in Christchurch for three years until the earthquake. After seven months at Waiuku College, Grahame won a scholarship to Pukekohe M.I.T to study motorsport, but says he was “itching to get back to karate after having a few months off.” He joined Counties Shotokan Karate under Sensei Ray Irving of Pukekohe and Sensei Denise Walker of Waiuku. Since then, he has competed in three regional tournaments, finishing first and second in two of the events for Kumate and first in Team Kata in the third tournament. Grahame was invited by Sensei Ray Irving to the Barcelona World Championships, and fundraising became a major focus. “We have been fundraising as a team as well as for ourselves.

Last Thursday the Waiuku College Clay Target Shooting Team travelled to Matamata Gun Club for the fourth secondary school shoot of the year, part of their continuing preparation for the nationals later in the year. Hosted by Matamata College, and attended by 153 shooters from around the Auckland and Waikato regions, the event only had three traps firing, so with 32 squads it turned into a long day. Foggy conditions early turned into a gloriously fine day, but despite almost perfect shooting weather most teams struggled, with low-scoring being the order of the day.

Almost 1000 callouts for Waiau Pa Brigade since inception It was a grass fire that first raised the thought of a fire brigade in the minds of Waiau Pa and Districts residents and was taken up by Noleen McLarin who was on the Franklin Council. Further traction occurred in early 1988 when some locals will remember the horror of watching a house in Stevenson Road burn to the ground, while waiting for the Patumahoe Fire Brigade to arrive. Soon afterwards concerned citizens got together for a meeting at the Clarks Beach Yacht Club and the Waiau Pa and Districts Volunteer Fire Brigade was born in May 1988. Locals got behind the project and the brigade would particularly like to mention Sid and Pat Owen, Keith Theobold, Tom Boyd, Dig Pearce and their families who provided huge on-going support and are honorary life members of the Fire Brigade. With the help of Patumahoe Fire Brigade the first training night involved rolling out hoses at the Waiau Pa Domain with 27 volunteers signed up to train. Having three regular fire fighters amongst the volunteers, was a big help and training progressed rapidly, the regulars were a great source of second hand equipment. The first appliance in 1988 was a rural fire fighting trailer with a portable pump that was hard to start! The first outing for the Commer Fire Appliance
was to a house fire in Torkar zles, public dances including Road, which was fully alight a vice versa and a Karaoke following a stove fire - there night, haymaking, raffles, was a good turnout as the demolishing houses, moving firemen were doing first aid large objects such as piano’s, training at the Clarks Beach and preparing charity grant Yacht Club just down the applications. Volunteer families were road at the time of the call. In the early days the alarm also involved in making was raised using a Telephone these events a success. At first volunteers proTree.

In 2001 a small group of fire fighters led by Craig Panoho formed an incorporated society and raised over $500,000 for a brand newbright green “Fire Pa” Scania Truck which arrived in 2003, and is still the envy of many other Fire Stations. Further support vehicles included a Pajero, Chev and finally the current van.
In 1994 the money was raised to build the current two bay shed at Waiau Pa, with the training room added behind in 1996. This was an old office block removed from the Steel Mill with locals pitching in to knock it into its current shape. Over the years 48 Volunteers have completed the three years of service required to make the Honours
Board with two of the original members still answering fire calls. The Waiau Pa Brigade has attended 984 local calls over the past 25 years, these have included house fires, farm buildings, scrub fires, car accidents, first response medical and special service calls. The future of the Fire Brigade is strong and well supported now by the New Zealand Fire Service. The
brigade would like to thank the community for their support over the past 25 years, recently demonstrated by the resounding community response to a recent Garage Sale. The brigade continues to upgrade its non-fire service equipment including a current fundraising goal which is for a further $40,000 for a new Operational Support Vehicle to replace its van.

As a community, we can say NO
the sale of synthetic cannabis Synthetic cannabis is widely available in the Franklin region. It doesn’t have to be. As a community, we can choose to shop at those outlets who make the choice not to stock these products. The Waikato District Health Board has already seen a number of issues at the Emergency Department in Waikato Hospital, while in the Thames- Coromandel area, almost every second case the mental health staff have discussed over recent months has had some element of the use of synthetic drugs. Side effects can include severe paranoia, visual and auditory hallucinations. There has also been cases of the inability to speak, not eat and lack of sensation leading to one person being burnt under a shower. One teenager went into three consecutive seizures, lasting a total of 21 minutes. What should we do? It’s up to you. Should we promote those retailers who refuse to stock it in our region? Should we name the retailers who make it available to our young people and others? It’s time to stand up. Tell us what you think. We CAN make a difference in our community.
So, what do YOU think? ..................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................

Rare pocket watch shows its hand Inspired by the last In Black and White which featured the photograph of Queen Elizabeth in Pukekohe in 1953, Waiuku’s Malcolm Freeman contacted the Post to tell of a treasured memento of the Queen’s Coronation. In the 1950s Malcolm lived with his parents at Point Chevalier in Auckland. On his ninth birthday in 1953 they presented Malcolm with a Coronation pocket watch, which he has treasured ever since. “In all those years, this watch has never needed any repairs, it has just kept working every time I have remembered to wind it up,” said Malcolm. Last week he took his treasure to Waiuku’s long-time watchmaker Sid Richardson, who carefully took the back off the watch to reveal its original British movement. “It is remarkable that it is still working after 60 years, and is a testimony to the quality,” said Sid. The watch has a colourful picture of the Queen flanked by flags of the Commonwealth. Instead of numerals around the face, the word Coronation is spelt. On the reverse side the Royal crest is engraved. On checking the web, it appears the watch carries a brand of Ingersoll, although it is not shown anywhere on the watch. In 1921 the original company went bankrupt, but was bought by another watch company and the brand continued. It certainly is a beautiful vintage watch. Malcolm is keen to find out a bit more information about the number of these watches made and how many were sold in New Zealand. If you know of any information contact bill@ thepostnewspaper.co.nz
Birds in my backyard I love the fact that I have many native birds that frequent my property. The kereru (wood pigeon) are plentiful at present, along with the perhaps not so native harrier hawk that does a customary glide past the spot where Ngaire throws the vegetable peelings each morning to the twittering piwakawaka (fantail) and the multiplying radiant tui. Each morning as I am having my shower I love to look out on the numerous tui feeding in the coastal banksia trees that surround our property. Last week, however, I was surprised to see another bird in the banksia trees feeding on the nectar. It was one I certainly hadn’t seen there before. Upon checking with my resident bird expert Ngaire, and calling her to confirm my sighting I was pleasantly surprised to find the bird was a kaka. It appears that at this time of year when normal food sources are depleted on predator-free off shore islands they move to the mainland to feed. Sightings are becoming more common in the upper North Island north of a horizontal line approximately through Huntly to Te Aroha. If you are keen to encourage kaka or other native birds in your garden, here’s what you can do: 1. Protect native trees in your neighbourhood or on your farm. Fence these off to exclude animals that may damage the trees or prevent natural regeneration of seeds (from cattle and sheep to deer and goats). 2. Plant native tree species for future food sources and nest sites. These include trees such as puriri, rimu, totara, kauri, kahikatea, kowhai, rewarewa, karo, etc. Any native tree that produces flowers and fruit will benefit kaka and other native birds such as kereru and tui. 3. Control pests including stoats, possums, rats and feral cats that are known to attack and destroy kaka eggs, chicks, and adult females on the nest, or are a threat to fledglings that are just learning to fly. All these pests are an equal threat to kaka, so any pest control programme preferably needs to target the full range. Any sightings of kaka could be recorded at www.kakawatchnz.org, or contact bill@thepostnewspaper.co.nz

Heavy rain soaks Waiuku township A heavy rain storm crossed West Franklin at 5pm on Sunday. Minor flooding in some residential areas resulted and included surface flooding and pondage on the Golf Club and other low lying areas. The storm water catchment area of Lions lake and the river estuary beside River Lane worked well to avert serious flooding which has occurred in previous heavy rain events. The photo shows Lions Lake at its peak with water levels well over the footpath around the edge. The lights reflecting from the Z Service Station and Beaurepairs highlight one lonely duck who stayed to brave the downpour.

Hypnotist to help World Challenge effort A hypnotist show in Waiuku next month is part of a mammoth fundraising effort by 20 local youngsters as they prepare for a World Challenge expedition to Southeast Asia. In January next year the group of 20 Waiuku College students will be travelling to Vietnam and Cambodia, however, this is no exotic holiday. As part of the programme the students are challenged to raise as much of the $7,300 cost (each) of their expedition themselves; put together a detailed itinerary for the expedition; plan and run a short tramping expedition here in New Zealand, and manage the expedition’s funds when overseas. The students also have to organise all transport, accommodation and catering arrangements when overseas, undertake a five to seven day trek and participate in a community or environmental project using materials and resources paid for out of the funds they have raised. Waiuku College believes that this is a meaningful and worthwhile experience and has joined forces with World Challenge to provide the group of young people with the chance to become potential leaders of the future. By participating in the programme students will have the chance to develop a number of personal at-
tributes, including a sense of personal accomplishment, team skills, leadership skills and gain a wider perspective
on life. The trip will also highlight cultural awareness and by being involved in the ad-
ministration of the event, the teenagers will also be developing financial management skills. The group have already been hard at work raising money to pay for the expedition. They took part in the Sand to Mud and ran a stall at the Family Day. They have also run a disco for pupils at Waiuku Primary and numerous sausage sizzles. On July 10 and 11 Dave Upfold the hypnotist will be performing at the College with all profits going to the World Challenge group. Left: some of the team from the World Challenge expedition group, who completed the Sand to Mud fun run earlier this year in full tramping gear, including heavy packs.

Waiuku Policing report by Sergeant Simon Palmer
140 incidents in four weeks for local police Hi, I hope the last few weeks have been good and everybody is taking the time to ensure their house security is up to standard. Outside sensor lights, window latches, cutting away of unnecessary vegetation and deadbolts are all things that can deter a would be burglar. Keep a list of serial numbers, photograph your items, note make and model of items and any identifiable features. Keep your car locked and any valuables out of view. Put them in the boot if need be. Do not leave items in your car that will identify where you live, as if it’s broken into parked away from your home then it indicates that no one could be at your home. Both Ross Crawford and Donovan Kawau have warrants out for their arrest. It would pay to sort these out sooner rather than later. Waiuku Police arrested four individuals the other week. Three had warrants for their arrest and two of these also had shoplifted from a couple of local shops. A 32 year old female had her bail opposed and she spent a couple of weeks in prison waiting for her court case. A good result, as we ended up taking three to ‘Hotel Manukau’ for the night. We have had a num-
ber of people stopped over the past few weeks that have never held a licence. It’s not just a $400 fine, if you get caught again without a licence the vehicle you are driving ends up getting impounded. So please do the right thing and sit your driving test. There have been a couple of accidents of late. People have not been driving to the conditions especially if it had been raining. Going around a corner at normal speed in good weather is totally different than if the road is wet. Adjust the manner of your driving to avoid it being a costly exercise. Police visited an address on the coast this past week. Eight cannabis plants were found growing in the shed. A number of firearms were located insecure as well as the ammunition that goes with them. This is a total breach of the regulations and will be taken further. Police also located other drug paraphernalia, scales, pipes, deal bags, and containers that had once had methamphetamine in them. The occupant was not at the address, but will be spoken to in due course. Police arrested a 16 year old female for breaking into a vehicle on Riverside drive on the weekend. Some good work from members of the
public helped to locate her. To date there has been around 140 reported incidents in the last four weeks. This does not include over the counter, phone queries, or traffic related tickets. So as you can see it has been pretty busy.
If you are suspended driving due to excess demerits, then do not get caught after that. You will be arrested, vehicle impounded and it will end up costing you a lot of money. Remember that the phone number for Crimestoppers is 0800 555 111 or www. crimestoppers-nz.org. Use this if you want your information to be anonymous. We always consider the information that people give to us, and it can help in piecing together the jig saw. That’s all for this week, once again from the team here in Waiuku: Lorraine, Laura, Greg, Toby and Rod, thanks for all your help, we rely on your information to make our job easier, and Waiuku a safer place to live, play and work in.

136 anglers take to water in annual gurnard competition Scott Parker dressed for the weather with his fourth-placed gurnard. Below centre: Overall winner Wayne Farrow travelled all the way from Whakatane. Far right: Arron Parker shows off his catch.
Counties Sport Fishing Club ran their annual Grunter Hunter gurnard-only fishing competition on Sunday June 9. There was a lot of interest in the build up to the competition which was open to all anglers. Club President Karl Sutton told me that the club was keen to promote these family type events to dispel the myth that the club is for game fishermen only as well as to demonstrate to the community that has supported the club so well over the years that they have their interests at heart. 136 anglers took advantage of that, possibly encouraged by a $1000 first prize for the heaviest overall gurnard. The decision was made to have a kids section where the ten heaviest gurnard were to get a prize and also be eligible for overall prizes. That proved to be a popular decision with 15
junior anglers entered. With safety a top priority for the club, the call to run the event was left to the last minute. Rain may be uncomfortable but the forecast for an easing wind overrode any creature comforts and the decision was made to go ahead. That call fell on my shoulders as the head of the Grunter Hunter committee and left me with a sleepless night! The first boat was out in torrential rain at 3am, we joined them four hours later, but not before catching up with a gentleman who had made the trip from Whakatane, starting his unforgettable trip at 2am, he nearly turned back at Matata but you can’t keep a good man down and he pressed on. Reality set in at the Bombay Service Centre when he stopped for good kiwi breakfast of coffee and a pie and was soaked in the short run from the car. The sea conditions were a little rocky but safe enough and the rain kept most fishermen huddled in their cabins. Fortunately the turn of the tide saw the sea flatten out and the wind stop, resulting in perfect conditions. While the fishing was difficult, the event
ran well with all boats returning safely to take advantage of the free barbeque, a feature of the CSFC family friendly events. Wayne Farrow who travelled all the way from Whakatane got a great round of applause when he was called up onstage to receive a prize for his epic journey and another when he was announced as the overall winner! The name of his boat? Mission Accomplished, he got that right. To top it off he won a raffle as well. I guess when your luck’s in, best you go fishing! This event is now firmly established on the local fishing calendar and I look forward to getting out there next year to do it again. Despite hard fishing on the day, this is the prime gurnard catching time with our boats and others getting great hauls in the days leading up to the event. Counties Sport Fishing Club thank all who took part on the day, our tireless helpers and the owners and staff of DKM Fishing & Marine for sponsorship and assistance with ticket sales. Take care on the water & see you out there. - Smudge.

Come in for a relaxing stay,
‘Canine Cough’ (formerly know as ‘Kennel cough’ ) is a term used to describe contagious respiratory disease in dogs, and can be caused by one or more of a number of viruses or bacteria. Affected dogs develop a harsh cough which may accur in fits. Dogs can also develop a nasal discharge, often accompanied by sneezing. The disease varies in its severity and lenght depending on what infectious agents are
involved, and also the age and general health of the dog affected. Coughing can last up to three weeks. With more severe cases, particularly in very young or old dogs or dogs with underlying disease there is a risk of developing a serious pneumonia. It is a common misconception that only dogs which are taken to boarding kennels or shows are at risk of developing Canine cough. In reality this is a very con-
tagoius disease and any dog which has even infrequent contact with other dogs or is walked along public roads or in parks where other dogs have been can pick it up. Vaccines are available which provide protection against two of the more commom causes of Canine cough. It is a requirement of most boarding kennels and ‘daycare’ facilities that all dogs attending are vaccinated against Canine cough. Vaccination is recom-
mended for any dog, especially if the dog is at greater risk of developing complications. Speak to your vet when your are next in about whether your dog is at risk, and what vaccination options are available.
Connect your dog to the ‘net with new product Ever wondered what man’s best friend gets up to when your back’s turned - scratching, barking or pining for your return? Now, there’s a new product available that can tell you all this and more. Designed by Kiwis and made in New Zealand, Heyrex is a health-monitoring tool that watches over your dog 24/7 – and the people behind it say it is teaching dog owners new tricks by helping address serious, life threatening problems that may otherwise go unnoticed. No matter what time of day it is, Heyrex observes a dog’s behaviour, so dog owners feel reassured about their hounds, around-the-clock. This device is said to help identify many dog health conditions, including degenerative joint disease, cardiac conditions and behavioural disorders. A small monitor fits comfortably on the dog’s collar and wirelessly sends the dog’s daily behaviour back to the Heyrex server. This information can then be accessed by the owner throughout the day, by logging on to the Heyrex website using a smartphone or computer. As well as helping dedicated dog owners, Heyrex also allows vets to remotely monitor their patient’s treatment and behaviour within

its home environment, from the confines of their clinic. Nathan Lawrence, CEO at Heyrex says: “After seven years of product development - Heyrex’s original inventor, David Gibson, sadly passed away in 2011 - we’re honoured to have finally been able to bring his vision to life. “Unfortunately, in today’s fast paced world, a change in your dog’s behaviour can go unnoticed. That’s why we came up with Heyrex – it will keep a watchful eye on your dog at those times of the day you can’t be by its side.” “We’re confident Heyrex will revolutionise the relationship people have with their dogs, helping to build a closer bond between them.”
Guilty plea for pet’s ill-treatment Takanini woman Robin Olive pleaded guilty last week to ill-treating a dog in her care and was sentenced to 100 hours community work and was disqualified from owning dogs for five years. Late last year, an SPCA Inspector, acting on a tip-off, discovered ‘Lady’ – a white, female, Whippet Bull Terrier crossbreed – tied upat Olive’s Takanini address. The dog was in poor body condition, with backbone, hips, and ribs clearly visible,and she was covered in sores. The dog was seized and transported to SPCA Auckland for a veterinary examination and treatment.She weighed only 12.5kg and was suffering from generalised demodectic mange. The Veterinarian concluded that the dog’s poor condition was due to inadequate feeding for many days, if not weeks. He also stated that being significantly underweight and
suffering from mange would have caused the dog ongoing distress, and that any lay person should have realised the dog was underweight and in need of veterinary treatment. Veterinary records show the dog had been suffering from severe mange since July 2012 but Olive had not been able to afford proper treatment. SPCA Auckland has also provided numerous food parcels and shelter for ‘Lady’ in the past. Olive admitted that she was struggling financiallyand found it difficult to provide her dog with medication and food. “This case sends a clear signal to dog owners that being short of cash is no excuse – you are responsible for providing adequate food, vet treatment, and other necessities for your animals,” says Christine Kalin, CEO of SPCA Auckland. ‘Lady’ has now been forfeited to SPCA Auckland and will be put up for adoption as soon as possible.

Turn to the pros
There are some very specific techniques you can apply to neutralize your property so that it will please the majority of buyers, influence the sale price, and reduce the length of time your home is on the market. The first step in the “staging” of your home is to create new arrangements with your furniture. This will highlight the positive aspects of your living space, such as open areas, ease of circulation, size, light, and the main purpose of each room. It is important to create as much room as possible so that

visitors have an impression of space and dimension.
everyone will like. Choose a restrained, elegant decor that will attract a young couple as much as a family.
To do this, keep only the furniture necessary for daily life, such as the kitchen or dining room table, the sofa, chairs, and other decorative elements that are both simple and neutral. Walls, shelving units, and kitchen counters should be populated very sparingly. Art works, family photographs, and ornaments are all elements that could put potential buyers off. Personal items tend to distract visitors and prevent them from being able to imagine living in your home. The idea is to depersonalize your rooms, to make them neutral by opting for a white wall instead of your beloved flowery wallpaper, for example, which not

Ardmore remain at the top of the premier table The current Counties Power Cup holders Ardmore Marist remain comfortably at the top of the Counties Power Club Rugby premiership table after edging out Waiuku 2317. Waiuku got the first try of the match which was set up from a line out 30m out and saw the back and forwards interact for lock Sam Cole to score in the corner. Ardmore Marist responded from broken play for a try to be score near the posts by red bearded Tyrone Lefau with the conversion hit the uprights. Waiuku added more points by slotting two penalties. Waiuku lost their line out ball, which Ardmore reacted quickly to and stretched the ball wide for Anthony Lavea to angle back in to score which was converted, ending the half at 12-11 in Ardmore Marists favour. After the break the next twentyfive minutes was a real arm wrestle from both sides. Finally the points started to come with a penalty to Ardmore Marist. Waiuku responded slotting their own penalty, again making it a one point game. Ardmore Marist extended their lead by kicking another penalty. Both sides were des-
perate to score with time running out, Waiuku tried to clear deep from their 22 and their miss-directed kick was gathered by Ardmore Marist’s Tyrone Lefau who score the crucial try. Waiuku had the final say with another penalty by Tom Halse which gave them a bonus point. In the bottom of the table clash in the Counties Power profile match, Patumahoe picked up five points after beating Papakura 7510. Vernon Comley crossed the line four times, John Vui twice and Kane Hancy, Rees Logan, Brad Muirson, Joshua Van Lieshout and Sean Reidy all scored a try each with Sean Reidy adding the extras with the boot. For Papakura, Bradley Wade slotted a penalty to get them on the score board. The PGG Wrightson Player of the Day was Patumahoe’s vetran lock Alepino Olosoni. As the business end approaches Karaka are on a bit of a role, having beaten Onewhero 34-23 on the hill. They are the top bonus point scoring team in the competition having collected ten so far which could prove vital for a top four finish.

It was a good free flowing game which showed the contrast in styles with Onewhero dominant in the forwards and Karaka showing their pace in the backs. Onewhero’s Nathan Langsford scored the first try from good pressure play which he converted. Karaka replied when they raced down the left hand side from their own 22 and found Josh Rowlands in support to dive over for their first try. Winger Tavite Gadeisuva replicated the move down the right hand side to score which was converted. Karaka’s halfback Danny Tusitala crossed the chalk when he was in support to finish off the play under the posts which was converted. Onewhero finished the half with a penalty making it 19-10 to Karaka. In the second half, Onewhero opened with two penalties to Langsford closing the gap to three points. Karaka scored after a midfield break by their first-five Kalione Hala who passed to Rowlands to dot down for his second try. Onewhero’s Christopher Pongi barged over to score from some good forward play again making

it a three point difference. Karaka slotted a penalty and from the kick off scored from a slap down pass with Gadeisuva running 50 metres to score in the corner. Onewhero were on strong attack for the last twenty minutes but Karaka held them out to finish the game. Player of the day for Karaka was Tavite Gadeisuva and for Onewhero their scrum was strong with Boof Henson awarded the Player of the Day for his leadership and performance. Pukekohe needed to bounced back from last week and they did beating Manurewa in a high scoring match 44-31. It was an entertaining match to watch where both teams delivered blows and show patches of good play. Two tries each were traded in the first half with Pukekohe’s hooker Mark Price and centre Nigel Watson crossing the line early and Manurewa’s Louis Maxwell and hooker Michael Lea dotting down for five pointers. The penalties went twoone in Pukekohe’s favour which gave them a 20-17 lead at half time. Immediately from the kick off in
the second spell Lewis Moore dotted down for his first of two tries which now sees him the top try scorer on the PGG Wrightson Leader board. Pukekohe gained a bit of control when Willie Ione scored in the left hand corner. Manurewa replied with their own try when Louis Maxwell picked up his second of the day which was converted by the classy boot of Ahsee Tuala. A kick through from Pukekohe’s Maama Vaipulu was collect by Lewis Moore who crossed for his second try and player of the day Nigel Watson saw him too collect his second try of the match under the post from set phase. Manurewa Josh Levi scored in the last minute of the game to close the score. Pukekohe will be pleased with their scrums and the placement kicking of Joe Reynolds and Jared Page showed some solid form with the boot kicking six from seven. For Manurewa their highlights were their open expansive game that a sevens team would have been proud of with impressive dangerous offloads coming from all angles. Hooker Michael Lea and halfback Matt Talaese were solid.
Karaka atop Reserve Grade Rugby Karaka’s consistency has them sitting on top of the Premier Reserve grade in Counties Power Club Rugby after beating Onewhero 203. Manurewa beat Pukekohe 18-10, Ardmore Marist held out Waiuku 16-10 and Patumahoe beat Papakura 33-7. Drury still sit on top of Division 2 after scoring 28 unanswered points against Manurewa and it was a score of threes and ones when Te Kauwhata beat Puni 31-13 in the other match. There was a change of leader in the U21 grade when
Patumahoe took the lead, sitting one point ahead of Bombay after beating Papakura 56-0. Karaka beat Waiuku 4113, Ardmore Marist defeated Manurewa 49-12 and Pukekohe secured an 18-7 win over Bombay. Hauraki North remain the front runners in the U19
division after their 46-5 win over Bombay. Pukekohe beat Drury by a good margin, 44-10, Onewhero edged out Patumahoe 21-19 and Pirongia battled it out for a 17-16 win over Karaka. In the U85kg grade Ardmore Marist beat College Rifles 28-14.

Above, left to right, at the opening, were Peter Clotworthy, Dick Sheehan, Trish Chitty and Alan Dawson. Right: Peter and Glenda Clotworthy cut the ceremonial ribbon. Below right; a fearsome haka was performed by the Waiuku College First XV.
Celebration as historic room opened With a resounding haka from the Waiuku College first XV, and after a blessing by local rugby stalwart Trish Chitty, the renovated Waiuku Rugby Club scoreboard room was officially opened on Sunday by Counties legend Peter Clotworthy. Dick Sheehan opened proceedings in the rugby club, pointing out that the concept began at Christmas last year, when it was suggested a new window should be placed in the upstairs room. “Brian Palmer thought we could make better use of it, and the idea of a historical record of the club began from there.” “Dave Grimmond donated the window, Clint Hornell supplied the steel beam that sits above it, Dave Ellery, Wax Saunderson and Lloyd Barriball put the window in, Nils McGee and Stumpy (Holmes) did some sort of a little deal on the carpet, so we got that at no cost to the club, John Andrews and family donated the handrail, and a number of others helped
with painting the room. “It’s been great to see people asking what they can do for the club, rather than the other way around, as can happen,” Dick said. Alan Dawson was then asked to introduce Peter, (between the two of them, they have played around 328 games for Counties), and he opened his speech by telling the young players from the College that he himself began his rugby career at the local school, before embarking on a premier career at aged 19. Of Peter Clotworthy, he said simply: “When it comes to having a discussion about the best players at this club, essentially, you are just trying to work out who was secondbest, because Peter was the best.” Alan spoke of the importance of loyalty to the club, and being a part of something bigger than just having a game on a Saturday, finishing by saying “playing is the easy part, the club is made of
people who will give up their time and give something back.” Peter Clotworthy recalled that he first came to Waiuku as a youngster with Auckland Roller Mills, and was billeted near to the Waiuku grounds. When, in later life, he transferred to the town for work, he embarked on a career with the club, and the region, that spanned over 100 matches for Counties. “We had a good team, but we couldn’t quite win the championship,” he said, “and it’s good to see in recent years the club has picked up some titles.” He draw a laugh when he said Alan had called him about the presentation and told him he was only ringing because Colin Meads and Len Brown weren’t available! After Peter and his wife Glenda had unveiled a plaque commemorating the event, the large crowd of supporters and sponsors enjoyed an afternoon tea hosted by the Waiuku Rugby Club.

New licencing changes start today New regulations that come into force today (Tuesday), will give the public more reasons to object to the granting of an alcohol licence. Objections must be for the greater good of the community and can be made if based on the broader business criteria licensees now have to meet. Examples of the new criteria include the suitability of the applicant, a thorough business case, the locality of the licensed premises and purpose of it, such as club, off-licence, bar/restaurant. All councils throughout the country will introduce the new regulations around licensing criteria today as part of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act (SSAA). Since central government passed the new law in December 2012, Auckland Council has been preparing for the key changes to regulations, many of which come into effect
from 18 June 2013. “We currently have more than 3,500 licensed premises in Auckland. From tomorrow, we will have to consider whether an application for a new licence, or the renewal of a current licence, fits the new criteria,” says Graham Bodman, Manager Licensing & Compliance Services. “We need more information from owners now regarding their business hours, training of their staff and how they will mitigate any risk to the community.” Mr Bodman says that the overall aim of the SSAA is to reduce alcohol-related harm in the community. There has been a concentrated effort by the alcohol licensing team at the council to keep a wide range of industry stakeholders and the community informed at each stage of the process.

Securing your assets How confident are you that you can recover goods sold on credit - or their value - if your customer becomes insolvent? If you are still relying for security on retention of title clauses in your terms and conditions you could be left out of pocket. If you operate a business that sells on credit without formal loan or credit agreements you can still protect your assets, but you need to take steps beyond just retaining title in the goods until they are paid for. If you lease equipment to another business, you also need to protect yourself by taking steps beyond the lease agreement. Registration of your interests on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR), operated by the ministry of Business, Innovation and Development is a key to asset protection. Since 1999 the Personal Property Securities Act has significantly affected the way businesses protect property sold on credit or leased. The Act brought in a new system for registering and prioritising creditors’ interests in property. The old “retention of title” method under which you might have retained your interest in goods sold on monthly or longer credit was significantly changed. You can still retain title - legal ownership - of your goods until they are paid for, but to be sure of enforcing your interest in those goods ahead of your customer’s other creditors, you MUST register your interest in them. You’ll need to describe your property sufficiently clearly so it can be identified. That is easy enough in the case for example of machinery with chassis numbers, or ear tagged cattle, but can be harder where you are selling building materials or inventory on credit. It’s worth taking the time to get it right, and we can help you with appropriate descriptions. Immediately on registration of your interest in the property on the PPSR, you gain priority for recovery of your assets or their worth over other later suppliers of credit. The register is also valuable before you enter into a credit or lease arrangement with your customer, since it lets you check their credit worthiness and what other securities have been registered against their property, including any collateral you may have been offered. A key to watch for here is a registered interest in “all present and after acquired property.” This means what it says – an earlier creditor has been given security over all the property your customer owns and any property it acquires in future – potentially including your goods. You can still protect your specified goods – but you must register your security over them within 10 days of your customer taking possession. If you don’t you lose your priority interest. It’s important to get your groundwork right: your terms of trade or lease agreement must include provisions allowing you to register the interest, make sure you know exactly who you are supplying – company, person or partnership, make sure you describe your goods accurately, and get the paperwork done promptly. The Register is only as good as the information you supply it. Getting set up is a very simple process and after a bit of training you can be set up to continue registering securities on your own. We have worked with many clients to set them up and train them on registering their securities. Once set up the costs are minimal, as in less than $2 per registration, and a registration can include multiple customers. When should you use the PPSR? • When you’re lending property. • To check your customer’s creditworthiness. • To check whether collateral has already been offered to someone else as security. • To check whether financing statements registered against you are up-to-date.
