End of an era for Waipipi Bird Park Over 13 years of work to create an idyllic exotic and native bird park at Waipipi came to an end on Sunday as owners Ron and Amily Peake closed the popular park. The couple, who will retire to Whangarei, say what started out as a hobby at Glenbrook grew into a fully-fledged bid park created from bare farmland on what was originally a 16-acre block. 10 acres of that block was sold to finance the park, and building started in 2004 on a property that would eventually home over 300 birds.

Thousands of local school children have visited the park since it opened, and Ron and Amily estimate that there have been over 30,000 visitors in total over the past 10 years, many returning several times. For many of those visitors, one of the highlights of any visit has been interacting with the cheeky Sulphur Crested Coackatoo ‘Charlie’, who is probably one of the most photographed birds in the country! Charlie is to go to the Whitford Bird Garden, while other birds are going to Whangarei and other places

throughout the upper North Island. The couple say they will miss the property they have developed - with support from local groups and Trees for Survival they have planted over 7000 trees around the estuary edge - but say the workload was just too large. And after more than 60 years of working with birds, Ron isn’t even keeping one as he readies himself to enjoy some fishing. “No more birds now,” Amily laughs - “just me, I’m his only one!”

No public consultation over 310,000-hen farm A group of Patumahoe residents are considering a public meeting to consider a high court challenge against an Auckland Council decision to publicly notify an application for what would be Franklin’s largest intensive egg-producing farm. Craddock Farms have proposed to establish an egg layer farm of up to 310,000 birds, across 10 sheds, on a Patumahoe Road site around 2km from

the Patumahoe Village. The scale of the operation, its proximity to the village, and concerns over traffic volume, odours and pests, led some local residents to believe the application should be publicly notified, to enable those who felt they may be adversely affected to make submissions to the consent process. However, a council planning co-odinator has told the group

that Council believes any adverse affects from the operation would be ‘no more than minor’, and therefore Council decided to process the application as a ‘limited notification’, meaning only four adjoining property owners would be notified and would be able to lodge a submission to the proposal should they wish to. The council planner said this meant that, ‘while there may be

a degree of concern within the community’, the Council would only be able to take into account any submission received by those four neighbours. For some residents of the village, this is not good enough, and they are looking at calling a public meeting in the near future to decide whether to challenge the decision. This will require seeking a judicial review through the New Zealand High Court.

New Zealand, as a nation, is blessed with a multitude of natural resources, and accessing those resources for the good of the country must rightly, always be balanced with maintaining our environment and our much-touted ‘clean, green image.’ However, that balance must also be tinged with pragmatism. I found it incredibly disappointing last week that the Green Party would come out against a proposal to recover millions of dollars worth of logs left strewn on the West Coast following cyclone Ita. A release from the party slammed the government proposal to allow some trees, knocked over in the cyclone, to be recovered where possible without undue damage to the environment. “It is illegal to log these forests, a storm is no reason to change the law,” Green Party conservation spokesperson Eugenie Sage shrilled. For the hard-hit West Coasters, who have an opportunity to create jobs and raise muchneeded income for the area, the Green Party’s position that the logs should be left to rot must have raised some eyebrows, especially as the Government indicated that revenues from the logs would be apportioned to conservation work. Franklin also, has a vast resource which has already drawn international interest in the offshore iron sands and mineral deposits. The challenge for our leaders is to find ways to maximise our usage of resources, but to do so in a responsible manner. This could mean those on all sides of the political spectrum work together to produce a way in which environmental risks can be mitigated, while allowing our economy to benefit. Idealism is all very well, but blind idealism helps no-one. Preserving our country for future generations is an economic issue, not just an environmental one.

Waiuku’s Vicky Shackleton (pictured right), is hoping local readers of the Post Newspaper will be able to put her in touch with surviving relatives of former Waiuku Mayor Dr R.S. (‘Sammy’) Whiteside, after an accident damaged his headstone at the Waiuku Cemetery. While an insurance claim is repairing other headstones damaged in the same incident, Vicky says it is not possible to have work done on Dr Whiteside’s headstone until a family member grants permission. Waiuku Borough had only two mayors in the 34 years of its existence, Dr Whiteside from 1955 to 1971, and Kevan Lawrence from 1971 to 1989. Dr Whiteside also served on many local service groups and organisations, and the town’s swimming pool, Whiteside Pools, are named for him. Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Post Newspaper.

Special award for a special story Seven year old View Road School student Abby Engelbrecht was awarded a special prize by Barfoot and Thompson Real Estate after entering a story writing competition. Abby wrote a story detailing the friendship between herself and her fellow student Neve, who was diagnosed with leukaemia several months ago. Her story, although not one of the overall winners, touched the hearts of the judges, who felt a special prize was in order, and the real estate company also organised for a special visit and a prize for Neve, who is in Starship Hospital. The View Road youngsters were asked to write a story about ‘heroes’, and Abby wrote of ‘My Hero, Neve’. Her three-page story detailed their friendship, and how the students discovered Neve had been diagnosed with leukaemia. Abby’s story discussed how the school’s teaching staff explained the illness to the students. ‘Mrs Holmes explained it to us. She said ‘Neve’s blood factory isn’t working properly. It’s not making white blood cells which fight germs, red cells that give you energy and platelets that heal your cuts.... Now Neve is having very strong medicine called chemotherapy,’ Abby wrote. Abby’s story detailed the

treatment, how the school raised money for Neve and her family, and how she and her friends miss Neve at school. ‘Neve is the bravest person I know. She is my hero because she is going through so much, and she still smiles in her photos.’ Cris Hull, Principal of View Road School, says six-yearold Neve has had extensive treatment for the last six months at Starship Hospital, adding she was touched by Abby’s story and is very proud of her maturity, in writing about Neve rather than the traditional hero

that most children that age think about. Deborah Andrew, branch manager at Barfoot and Thompson Waiuku, who presented the prize for Abby last week, said Abby had made a remarkable job of her story. “The story that Abby has written gives a sense of honesty from a seven year old that other people usually sugarcoat,” principal Cris Hull added. Below: Deborah Andrew presents Abby Engelbrecht with her prize at the View Road School assembly on Friday.

Local author wins Book of Year Late last night, the winner of the New Zealand Post Margaret Mahy Book of the Year 2014 was announced as former Pukekohe author and illustrator, Vasanti Unka, with her book ‘The Boring Book’ a beautifully designed and presented book for children aged three to seven years. The Boring Book is also the winner in the Awards’ Picture Book category. Written and illustrated by Vasanti Unka and published by Penguin Group (NZ) Puffin, The Boring Book is praised by the Award judges as a remarkable work that exceeds any expectations of its genre. “The Boring Book exhibits the highest quality of design and its presentation is thoroughly original. The story takes delightful unexpected turns that charm afresh with each reading. “Small children and older readers alike will be delighted by its subversive touches, and they’ll be entertained by its warmth and

fun,” says Barbara Else, the Awards’ Convenor of Judges. “We think The Boring Book will help cultivate a love of words and books. It combines beautiful production and perfect design, which seamlessly integrates the words and text. It’s refreshing on so many levels.” The Judging Panel is convened by author Barbara Else; with cartoonist and graphic novelist Ant Sang; and children’s librarian and blogger Zac Harding. The winners of the New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children and Young Adults were announced at a glittering evening reception in Auckland last night, (June 23). The Awards promote excellence and provide recognition for the best written and illustrated books for children and young adults published by New Zealand authors each year. Vasanti was awarded $7,500 for the New Zealand Post Margaret Mahy Book of the Year and $7,500 for Best Picture Book.

Council completes drug policy Waikato District Council’s proposed psychoactive substances policy hearing has closed with the Policy and Regulatory Committee recommending a policy for Council adoption. Last week it agreed a revised Psychoactive Substances Policy (Local Approved Policy) following several hearings and amendments over the past two months. Following the hearing on 3 June, amended definitions of sensitive sites and setback distances between sensitive sites, potential retail locations and distances between retailers were included as a result of feedback from submitters. Under the revised policy retail premises, from which approved products may be sold, are not permitted within 100 metres of a sensitive site or within 500 metres of another similar retail premise. Waikato District Council General Manager Customer Support, Sue Duignan, said

as a result of these changes the policy allows for just one potential retailer of legal highs in the entire Waikato district in the business zone on the main street of Huntly. Ms Duignan said it was important to remember that under the Psychoactive Substances Act, Council does not issue or enforce licenses and does not have the power to ban the sale of legal highs. Council can only put a policy in place to control where the products can be sold. “Without this policy, we leave it wide open for outlets to be established throughout the district and we would have no control over that. Both Council staff and the committee have put in a great deal of thought and effort throughout this process and we believe the policy is as conservative as it possibly can be.” The policy will be presented at the full Council meeting in August for adoption.

Rock Paper , Scissors

Students put skills to test

In our study today we are going to look at a few

interesting things, and no we are not going to play the game of our title.

In my box of breakfast cereal was a wee clipboard that caught my attention and today we play. To find a sustainable replacement product for wood pulp to make paper, some Asian countries have turned to a resource they have much of, and that is Rock. What they have discovered is that if you grind rock as fine as talcum powder, add a resin to bind it, roll it out thin and cut it to sheets you actually have paper, well rock paper that is and not like Fred Flintstone.

Well it actually looks like paper, feels like shiny paper, can be printed on, faxed, photocopied or made into books if you want to. The end result is that you have waterproof paper, and it is a resource you are unlikely to run out of. Hey!! want to take your book to the beach or pool, no problem now, as it is impervious to water damage. Maybe we should print Bibles in rock paper to combat humidity and water damage in the tropics and Jungles??

When one looks at scripture, there is a facet that pops up in a lot of bible books, and that is of Stone. God wrote the first copy of the 10 Commandments upon sapphire paving stone and Moses had to get them re-written on rock, cause he broke the first ones over an issue of golden calf worship. David killed Goliath with a stone, the Temple was built of stone along with the city walls, buildings, roads and so much more, but I want you to focus on a more spiritual facet here.

This is a Messianic Prophecy that Messiah ben David would return and sit upon the throne of David and rule the full established Kingdom of God on earth, where all the redeemed from all ages serve God, and sin and sinners are no more. So here we have the situation where Rock-Mountain is actually Jesus and God’s Government.

From the book “Restoring the Two Houses of Israel” Eddie Chumney states on Page 91 under the heading “A Heart of Stone cannot overcome the Flesh.” “A stony heart exemplifies the characteristics of our sin nature (evil inclinations) inherited from Adam and rejects the TORAH/ Word of the God of Israel. The newer (renewed) covenant (brit Hadashah) was needed because in the older covenant the heart of stone could not overcome the sin nature of the flesh (evil inclinations). The problem in the older covenant was not the Torah because the Torah is the Tree of Life! (etz chayim) Therefore, what the God of Israel wanted to do away with was a HEART OF STONE and Not the Torah. The God of Israel desired to replace the Torah written upon a heart of stone with the Torah written upon a heart of flesh. The God of Israel wanted to do this by putting his Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) within us so that we would have HIS POWER in our lives and follow our good inclinations. In doing this, the God of Israel desired to change the HEARTS of his people not his TORAH because his Torah is eternal.” Eddie also draws on another theme where the Torah is Truth, and remember the Torah means Foundation, and in the New Testament it is often referred to as the “Spirit of Truth” as the Holy Spirit is the predominant carrier of the truth to us growing believers. There are three reasons why we need the Holy Spirit resident within us: a) Have the power to overcome the sin nature (evil inclinations) inherited by Adam. b) To bear spiritual fruit in our lives (Galatians 5: 22-25) and; c) to understand, grow, and have a revelation of the God of Israel’s Torah/ Word and the ways of the Kingdom. There is a sub current or theme in scripture

That facet is that stone, rock, mountain has

the direct reference to a Government, and the major reference is to that of the Government of Heaven or to God’s Government. In Isa 14:1314 we have a look into Heaven and the Mount of God and Satan wanted to ascend on the sides of the North, which from the Sanctuary is the actual path to God, and Satan wanted to be above the mount or throne of God. That is to have a more superior government.

If you look at Nebuchadnezzar’s dream as recorded in Daniel chapter 2 we find a metallic image representing the world governments or dominant rulers, and all these are conquered and destroyed by a stone that was cut out without human hand, or of a heavenly source, and all world governments completely vanish as fine powder before it and that stone grew into a great mountain that filled the whole earth.

that is applicable at this time; that is Stone, Mountain, Rock. Predominantly any referral to such an object in scripture is a direct referral to Government and especially to the Government of Heaven. Hence Rock is Christ Jesus and

pebble is Peter in that analogy, The Rock in the Exodus followed them and that Rock is Jesus, so here we have rock and mountain is God and stony heart being tiny in comparison is our own wee government of self. In scripture in Matthew 21:44 we get this warning about keeping our own individual government or stony heart or giving it up for a fleshy heart. Here we have revealed that Christ is prince of all Kings of the Earth so that includes All Governments and the Stony Heart Government of self, which will mean that it is either conquered or destroyed. So now is the time for a fleshy heart and one under God’s government and not in opposition to it, so surrender your heart to Jesus right now.

During the past few weeks, Waiuku College students studying NCEA Hospitality have had the opportunity to test their hospitality skills at award winning Castaways Resort. The students, led by teachers Maree Hamilton and Kristen Gibb have now had two full day sessions at Castaways Resort utilising the resort’s professional venue facilities. “It’s been great being able to provide our keen students with the chance to experience what it’s like to deliver hospitality service at a real venue. For them to be able to practice their service skills in that type of environment and undergo assessment has been extremely worthwhile and we’re glad that as a college we can give them that opportunity,” says Hamilton. The arrangement came about after Castaways offered their facilities to the college. “We have a great relationship with the college so are very happy to offer our facilities where we can to support student success. “It’s a win/win situation as often we’ll have students from Waiuku College join us as part of our high season team, so if they’ve conducted some of their assessments onsite, they already know their way around Castaways,” says Kylie Hall, Castaways Resorts’ Sales & Marketing Manager. Attorney Horne, one of the students who took part, said her group, which also included Alisha Taupo and Monique Mokaraka, enjoyed the experience. “We learnt a lot from our trainer Shona; such as polishing glassware and cutlery, the correct ways to fold napkins and different napkin styling such as lilies and the bishops hat as well as the major things like table settings and how to serve guests.” Hall from Castaways Resort adds, “We’re currently discussing an exciting future opportunity with Maree and the teaching team whereby the students will be able to host a dinner at Castaways Resort. “Under the guidance of our senior team, they will prepare the dinner and also provide front of house service to their guests. We’ll be waiving our venue hire fee so there’s the opportunity for the students to use the evening as a fundraising event too. It will be a fabulous evening and will be wonderful to see the students putting into practice their learnings. I’m sure family and friends who attend will be hugely proud of the students.”

You’re imperfect, like everyone Boys. Girls. Men. Woman. Anyone. Everyone. No matter what age or gender you belong to, ‘body image’ holds some importance over you in any shape or form. Body image is the physical, emotional and mental attributes that you personally contribute to the world. Body image is usually associated with the physical being of a person. Many people feel self-conscious about the body image they portray, especially with teenagers. Am I fat? Am I ugly? Why am I so short? Am I too tall? Why am I so different from my friends? If I change this will I be liked better? Will he/ she go out with me if I change this? Is this enough makeup? Why is my body this shape? Are my abs noticeable enough? All people, of all shapes, sizes and colours are self-conscious whether they are labelled ‘skinny and pretty’, ‘skinny and hot’, ‘hot stud’, ‘fat and ugly’ or ‘in-between’, people are self-conscious no matter the reasoning behind it. You are born just the way you are, you don’t need to be uncomfortable in your own skin; be confident of your body, and just be yourself, nobody can criticise that which you were naturally given. As human beings, we experience, every day of our lives, a wide range of emotions. Happy, sad, nervous, depressed, excited, surprised

By Ashleigh Hartigan, Tuakau College - we produce different emotions for different events. Emotions are what make us who we are, they help us to express the way we fell to others around you. Some people occasionally are associated with a specific feeling, such as depression and are labelled by those around them as ‘emo’ or ‘goth’. Every person is different from the next, and everyone has a different body image which portrays the person they are. A person’s body image is neither good nor bad, but a representation of who they are and they are perfect just the way they are. Every person in the world has the mentality of being dissatisfied with their bod-

ies once in their life, usually during their teenage years. Everyone believes that they are imperfect, and should not be exposed to the world. Every person has imperfections, but those imperfections just make them the people they are today. What would happen if everyone was perfect? If every person was perfect there would be no variety and biodiversity in the human population leaving no room for improvement. Life is made up of mistakes and imperfections, what would be the point if there was nothing we could do to improve? Life would be dull and boring, with no point. Ignore everybody around you and all their jabs and mocking; you are perfect with all your imperfections just the way you are. Don’t lie, you’re imperfect.

Discount for Waikato dog owners available Waikato district dog owners are reminded to register their dogs by 20 July to qualify for the prompt payment discount. By now all dog owners should have received their renewal notices reminding them that registration for the year 01 July 2014 – 30 June 2015 is due and the Council is offering a saving of up to $22 for those who register their dog promptly. Waikato District Council General Manager Customer Support Sue Duignan said she was pleased with the response from dog owners so far. “We’ve had more than 1000 dogs registered already which is great to see. I encourage the remaining dog owners to register soon to get the discount and keep their dog legal.”

With more than 13,000 dogs in the district, Ms Duignan said registration played an important role. “Registration fees enable our Animal Control team to maintain a high presence in our communities and protect the safety of both the dogs and the public through regular patrolling and education programmes in schools and kindergartens.” If you are a new dog owner or already have approved status the dog registration fee is $91 (or $69 if you pay before 20 July). The Council’s policy is that all new dog owners are ‘approved’. The onus is then with the owner to show they are a good dog owner who takes responsibility for their pet. If you have general owner status the fee is $117

(or $96 with the discount) and selected or farm dog fees are $62 (or $41 with the discount). Failure to register a dog can result in dogs being

seized, an infringement fine of $300 or prosecution. More information on dog registrations is available on Council’s website www. waikatodistrict.govt.nz

Council asks for views on arts and culture Auckland Council says it’s time to have your say on how Auckland’s arts and culture can develop over the next decade. The Draft Arts and Culture Strategic Action Plan, which aims to deliver on the Auckland Plan’s vision to ‘integrate arts and culture into our everyday lives’, opened for public consultation yesterday, (Monday). The draft action plan sets out a five to ten year strategic direction for the planning and delivery of arts and cultural activities in Auckland.

It identifies six goals and supporting key actions to meet the challenges of Auckland’s continued growth, changing demographics and increasing international competitiveness in the creative sector, and Council says it has a focus on making arts and culture accessible to everyone. The draft action plan was approved by the Arts, Culture and Events Committee last Wednesday with committee members in agreement that the plan provides a sound base for further discussion with Aucklanders.

Surf rescue numbers down Surf Life Saving statistics show nationwide rescue numbers have decreased by 37 percent on last season. Surf lifeguards have spent 213, 975 hours patrolling around 80 beaches since Labour Weekend 2013, rescuing 1,029 people, which is down on last year’s total of 1,649 and more level with the 2011/12 season total of 1,088. Lifeguards have also conducted a total of 1,715 first aid treatments, down 13.5 percent on last season’s total of 1,983. The number of searches undertaken also decreased from 360 last season to 264. Nationwide, the largest number of rescues took place at Hot Water Beach in the Coromandel where there were a total of 101 rescues. Surf Life Saving New Zealand CEO Paul Dalton says the number of beachgoers dropped significantly in most parts of the country due to the inconsistent weather patterns that New Zealand has seen this summer, especially during the Christmas holidays. “Naturally, with less people on the beaches, there is less chance of people getting into trouble,” he says.

More land to be available Auckland Council Property Limited (ACPL) has been given additional resources to expand its operations and lift the supply of land for housing and town centre regeneration. The Finance and Performance Committee today expanded the role of the council’s commercial property arm to streamline its ability to acquire land and amalgamate councilowned and private sites. “ACPL is the council’s primary vehicle for freeing up land for housing development. The resources approved today give it the flexibility to move faster and deliver better results for the council and the housing market,” said committee chair Council Penny Webster. “It’s important to note that ACPL will not be venturing into property development in the built form, simply becoming more active in providing land for the private sector in support of the council’s housing policies,” she emphasised. The improved resources include access for the ACPL board to up to $15million from the council’s Strategic Development Fund and a new self-funding $5million annual development budget to cover investigatory activities and for adding value to properties prior to sale.

Chair of the committee, Councillor Alf Filipaina says the draft responds to the Auckland Plan statement: ‘Auckland expects that our arts and culture will thrive, unite, delight, challenge and entertain, and also drive wealth and prosperity for individuals and for Auckland.’ “During engagement for the Auckland Plan, arts and culture featured in its power to deliver on the transformational shifts required to make Auckland the world’s most liveable city”, he says. “To reach all parts of our region, both urban and rural, inner city and suburbs, and to make arts and culture programs relevant to the different communities who live here requires a focused

plan.” Mr Filipaina says the ‘whole of Auckland’ plan will be delivered alongside and in partnership with other key stakeholders in the arts and culture sector. To date, the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, Creative New Zealand, Creative Coalition, ASB Community Trust, Independent Maori Statutory Board, and Pacific People Advisory Panel have worked with the council to develop the draft. Aucklanders are encouraged to head to the website shapeauckland.co.nz to read the draft action plan and to share their thoughts through an online submission. The public consultation period ends at 5pm on Thursday 24 July 2014.

Locals pitch in after pub fire

Franklin locals were among a group of volunteers from the Auckland Vintage Speedway who turned up at the Muddy Waters pub in Mercer to help with the cleanup following a fire last week. No-one was seriously injured in the blaze, which caused significant damage to the building.

New training programmes Auckland Mayor Len Brown is describing two new infrastructure trades training initiative for young Maori and Pasifika announced today as providing a big boost in the battle against youth unemployment in Auckland. A consortium led by the Southern Initiative (TSI) of Auckland Council has won a three year contract to provide trades training for around 200 Maori and Pasifika aged between 18-34 with the end goal of sustainable employment in the infrastructure and released industries. And a group involving MIT, Unitec and Te Wananga o Aotearoa has

won a contract to provide trades training focus on the construction and infrastructure trades across Auckland for around 650 students. Speaking at the opening of the new $100 million Manukau Institute of Technology campus built above the new train station in Manukau City Centre, Len Brown said: “Raising the skill levels of young Maori and Pasifika is a vital step in securing the future of Auckland. “The number of young people not in employment, education or training is still way too high, particularly in South Auckland.”

Auckland property prices rise 13% over past year The latest monthly QV Residential Price Movement Index shows that nationwide residential property values for May have increased 8.2% over the past year, and 0.7% over the past three months. This means they are now 13.9% above the previous market peak of late 2007. When adjusted for inflation the nationwide annual increase drops slightly to 6.6% and values remain below the 2007 peak by 2.2%. The Auckland market has increased 13.1% year on year and values are up 30.6% since 2007. When adjusted for inflation values are up 11.4% over the past year and are 12.1% above the 2007 peak. Andrea Rush, QV National Spokesperson said, “Nationwide values are increasing for the second month in a row after showing a slight decline in March however the picture is quite mixed. “Whilst values in all the main centres have increased to varying levels, some areas within the cities are showing decreases and values in many of the smaller regions are flat or decreasing. “Sales volumes around the country are 10 to 15% lower than they were this time last year which could be a normal winter seasonal effect but it could also be a precursor to values dropping.” “The LVR lending restrictions continue to have an effect in many of the regions with activity significantly slower at the entry level end of the market.” The Auckland region as a whole has increased 2.6% over the past three months. Auckland City – Central is the leader in terms of value rises over the past three months up 4.7%, followed by Rodney–Hibiscus Coast where values increased by 3.8% and then North Shore–coastal which is up 3.6%. QV Valuer Bruce Wiggins said, “In Auckland the picture is mixed. We’re seeing some strong prices achieved at auctions, of note are some recent sales in the Southern Auckland suburbs of Mangere Bridge and Greenlane.” “However properties in the inner city suburbs such as Grey Lynn and Ponsonby are often not achieving vendors’ price expectations. For example the Ponsonby property in Lincoln Street that was media hyped as looking for $2 million sold for just over $1.6 million and a Grey Lynn do-up that was poorly presented passed in.”

Property investors against compulsory insulation The NZ Property Investors’ Federation (NZPIF) says their endorsement of heating and insulation in rental properties does not mean they support a parliamentary bill to create compulsory heating and insulation standards on all tenancy agreements. The Federation suggests compulsory insulation and heating standards could force rental prices up, and put further strain on tenants. A recent survey of the members of property investors’ associations, undertaken by the NZPIF, revealed that a high proportion were already insulating and heating their rentals. “The NZPIF has always promoted the idea that providing an insulated and warm rental property encourages

tenants to stay longer, so it makes good business sense” says NZPIF Executive Officer, Andrew King. “Housing standards improve over time and there is now an emphasis on providing a healthy living environment in rental properties. The results of the survey show that members are meeting this change in expectations. “The NZPIF believes that all rental property providers need to accept that change and adapt to it. “However the NZPIF’s endorsement of heating and insulation in rental properties has been incorrectly interpreted as an endorsement of a parliamentary Bill aimed at applying compulsory insulation and heating standards to all tenancy agreements.

We do not endorse the Private Member’s Bill currently before Parliament. “We agree with the Children’s Commissioner’s call to help children suffering health related illness through living in cold, damp homes. “But before endorsing any regulatory changes aimed at rental property in New Zealand, we would need to be assured that these changes wouldn’t reduce the supply of rental property, either now or in the future, and would not put strain on tenants through unnecessarily higher rental prices.” says King. “Many tenants already cannot afford to heat their homes and higher rental prices would only make the matter worse”.

Go-ahead given for new $1.5million artwork

Rural lifesaver on trial A prototype dual purpose fire and medical response vehicle developed by the New Zealand Fire Service and St John, and which culd be a vital asset in the Franklin region, is about to start a year of trials to test the concept. The prototype is designed for use in rural and remote communities whose brigades provide a medical first response service. After being put through its paces at the Fire Service National Training Centre in Rotorua last week, it is set to be trialled by the Diamond Harbour Volunteer Fire Brigade in Canterbury for the next four months. Fire Service Chief Executive and National Commander Paul Baxter says, “The fire medical vehicle is not an ambulance. What it will do is improve the patient experience. It will allow firefighters to get patients up off the ground and into a safer, more clinical environment while early treatment is being provided until an ambulance arrives. At the same time, we have developed a vehicle that can provide good fire fighting capability and carry the usual gear needed for rescues and other emergencies.” During the trial, the FMV will replace each brigade’s appliance. This will allow everyone to fully assess whether it meets the needs of the communities, the Fire Service and St John. There are 37 volunteer brigades around the country who provide the first medical response within their communities. These brigades are despatched to a wide variety of medical emergencies. They respond because either they are closer to the emergency or there is no ambulance stationed in the community.

Detailed design and development for an iconic Auckland harbourside artwork commissioned after a $1 million corporate gift to the city can now start after Auckland Council’s Arts, Culture and Events committee last week recommended the project proceed. The committee approved a report on the proposed Michael Parekowhai installation for Queens Wharf recommending staff complete the planning, detailed design, development and delivery of the artwork. Funding for the majority of the project has come from Auckland real estate company Barfoot and Thompson, who are funding $1 million towards the project as part of a $2 million gift to the city to celebrate its 90th anniversary. The remainder is being sought from private or commercial sources. While the additional funding is found, the council will use $500,000 from the Regional Public Art capital expenditure fund to allow the project to continue. The artwork has a proposed budget of $1.5m and features a domestic New Zealand home on a blue asphalt plinth, the focal point of which is a giant bespoke chandelier – estimated to cost $705,000 – which fills the interior of the lighthouse. The artwork – which signals a safe harbour and a welcome to all – represents a breakthrough in local private sector support for art in Auckland’s public spaces. The Arts, Culture and Events Committee chair, Cr Alf Filipaina, said the artwork would be an iconic feature for the Waitemata Harbourside. “Auckland is fortunate to have this opportunity. It is the largest monetary gift for a single artwork in New Zealand and the largest Michael Parekowhai commission to date in New Zealand,” he said. The aim is for installation of the artwork to coincide in time for Auckland’s 175th anniversary celebrations in 2015.

Glitz and glamour at Waiuku College Ball Almost 300 students and teachers from Waiuku College graced the Ellerslie Events Centre for their annual school ball on Saturday, in what has been described as the best ball yet. Apriel Simpson, leader of the College Ball committee, said she has heard nothing but good things about the ball, and says the large dance floor at this year’s venue was a huge hit. The theme was ‘Garden of the Gods’, and students took to the classical theme. Acting principal Mark Nickless congratulated the committee, and said the students were very well behaved, and there were no problems. Nathan H’ng was named King of the Ball, with the Queen named as Moana Richardson. Right: the ball committee and Mr Nickless, right below; the King and Queen of the Ball.

New fishing restrictions won’t help the Maui Fisheries Inshore New Zealand (FINZ) says the International Whaling Commission’s request that fishing restrictions be extended 20 nautical miles out to sea and as far south as Wanganui is based on conjecture, not on science. Dr Jeremy Helson, CEO of FINZ, says industry is right behind saving these animals and is focussed on remedies that will work in the real world. He noted that the restrictions imposed on fishing in 2003, and extended in 2008, 2012 and 2013, protect Maui’s dolphin from accidental capture by fishing throughout their known range. “The effectiveness of these restrictions on fishing is evident - there have been no confirmed mortalities of Maui’s attributed to fishing since 2003. We now need to address other issues placing these animals at risk.” Dr Helson says the possibility of Maui’s outside the current fishing restrictions is speculative. “Management in New Zealand must be based on the best available science, not on conjecture or on speculation.” Since July 2012, the Ministry for Primary Industries

has deployed over 800 days of observer coverage south of New Plymouth in order to determine the distribution of Maui’s and Hector’s dolphins. Despite being an area closed to fishing, not a single dolphin has been seen by trained government observers. “We need to focus our protection efforts on the key remaining risks to these animals. Although fishing has been prohibited where Maui’s dolphins live other significant risks remain” Dr Helson says. In 2012 it was confirmed two of three beach cast Maui’s dolphins were killed by toxoplasmosis, and this disease appears to be widespread through the species. Dr Helson says scientists on the Government’s Maui’s dolphin Research Advisory Group, should focus their efforts on measures that remove the current risks to Maui’s dolphins, which include disease. “Stringent government regulation has prohibited fishing from the known range of Maui’s dolphin. It’s time for a fresh, innovative assessment of the risks they now face and some effective remedies to reduce these.” Dr Helson says.

Hardy fishermen still getting rewards Smudge says.....

Above: Arron Parker with a snapper from the harbour in June. Below right: Scott Parker with a kahawai caught in the harbour last month. Below: John Turnbull with a gurnard caught in the recent CSFC Grunter Hunter competition.

While many fishermen have put their gear away for the winter, the hardier amongst us are out there doing it and getting rewarded very well for their efforts. The Manukau Harbour still has plenty of snapper to offer, we recently put seven fish in the bin with five of them measuring from 46cm up. Adding to that, a mix of gurnard and kahawai made for a very successful trip. Another month or so and snapper will probably be hard to find in the harbour. Some very big gurnard are also getting caught, now is the prime time to target them. Expect to see trevally turn up in numbers over the next few months and don’t forget the humble kahawai, a great eating fish when bled, chilled and eaten fresh. The mighty West Coast can be one of the greatest snapper fisheries around and New Zealand’s favourite fish can certainly be caught there all year round. At this time of the year one of the biggest challenges though is to keep your line in the water long enough for a snapper to find it before the sharks do. Sharks can be in plague proportions this time of year especially spiny dogfish. If you can get past them you may just get into some good table fish as Mark Watt found out recently when he and his crew went to 30m only to be annihilated by sharks so the call was made to go in close. In nine metres he loaded up with snapper and gurnard. Perfect! Snapper in particular are less active in winter and a good tip is to keep your baits small. Burley can help but only the brave will use it over the coast as it can draw in sharks from all over. Longlines set in the early morning or evening can also produce great results. Take care, Smudge.

Whales make a comeback

Humpback whales were once abundant around islands of the South Pacific during the winter breeding season. These populations nearly disappeared as a result of intensive hunting following World War II, particularly the large-scale illegal whaling by the Soviet Union in the 1960s. Now, the results of this long-term, collaborative research have been integrated into the first Comprehensive Assessment of humpback whales in Oceania. The Scientific Committee concluded that humpback whales in Oceania once numbered more than 14,000, but by 1966, they were reduced to less than 1% of this number. Since that time, whales in this vast region have increased slowly to about 5,000, or about 37% of their pre-exploitation numbers. Given the current rate of increase, it may be another three decades before this population is fully recovered.

Police warn over Subsidised training on offer ‘car wrap’ scam

NEW TYRES • Repairs • Retreads • Fitting • Balancing

Counties Manukau Police have issued a warning over a scam which offers a large amount of money for ‘wrapping’ your car in promotional sign-writing. The scam asks motorists to cover their car in signage for a popular energy drink and suggests they will be paid for a minimum of four weeks. The compensation is supposedly a ‘rental’ payment for the company using your car as a promotional site. Any person who replies to the advert is sent a cheque with specific instructions to bank it straight away and transfer the money to an off-

Nissan have unveiled the new-look X-Trail to plaudits from the motoring press, as it has left behind the boxy shape of its predecessors and launched a stylish, sweeping design. The new smoother look sees the model range fit more comfortably into the current Nissan look, and its big wheels and rakish roof line echo the styling of the highend Murano range. But while the exterior design suggests the X-Trail is more of a road-going traveller rather than a workhorse, beneath the smooth lines is a 2.5-litre petrol engine offering 126kW of power, 226Nm of torque and 1500kg braked towing capacity. Nissan have long been aware that the SUV market in New Zealand is one which has grown dramatically in New Zealand over the past decade, and the X-Trail package is deliberately designed to appeal to the family market, with a number of features which provide a range of options for new car purchasers. With a seven-seat, front-wheel drive option, the X-Trail ST has responded to the needs for larger families and offers more flexibility for holidaymakers. Cleverly designed tiered, theatre style seating means even the littlies can always see the road ahead, while gloss black trim with metallic accents, the atmospheric LED front passenger interi ST 2WD 7-Seat or lighting add to the theatrical mood.

ACC is encouraging motorcyclists to take advantage of subsidised ‘Ride Forever’ training courses this winter. Because the courses are subsidised by ACC, they only cost $20 for beginner or ‘bronze’ level motorcyclists, or $50 for silver and gold level courses, aimed at more experienced to elite motorcyclists. Ride Forever training is delivered by New Zealand Transport agency approved instructors, and can be booked online, via the Ride Forever website. All courses have a maximum of six participants. Training begins with a short theory session, but seventy per cent of the training takes place out on the road, in real riding situations. Last year, ACC received around 3,500 new claims from motorcyclists injured on the road. “Because motorcyclists don’t have a tin can around them, as car drivers do, they’re particularly susceptible to serious injuries in a crash,” says ACC’s Head of Insurance Products and Injury Prevention, David Simpson. “So anything you can do to improve your skills and avoid a crash has got to be worth it.” To book training or find out more about Ride Forever, go to www.rideforever.co.nz

A 7-seat option, new lines and self-healing paint, as Nissan unveils the new X-Trail Safety measures are a major consideration for families looking for new vehicles, and Nissan has gone the extra mile. Standard across the range are six airbags, rear view camera, Vehicle Dynamic Control, Traction Control System, anti-lock brakes, as well as Brake Assist technology and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution. On some of the models, however, the safety features are extended with the innovative Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Moving Object Detection on the Ti grade, and the Around View Monitor on the ST-L and Ti grades. And it goes even further, with Advanced Drive-Assist Display; a fullcolour 5” display, that sits between the speedometer and tachometer, to help

you stay on track and on top of things when you are on the go. From turn-by-turn directions to caller ID and more, Nissan says ADAD gives you all the information you need directly in front of you, keeping you focused on the road ahead. But perhaps one of the most innovative features is one that owners shouldn’t even notice - the X-Trail comes with a ‘self-healing’ paint which fills in very fine scratches. A Nissan development several years ago, the high tech, highly elastic resin was available as an option, but is now standard on the X-Trail series. The elastic resin heats up in sunlight, expanding and filling in the scratches to maintain the pristine new look for as long as possible. As expected on a modern SUV, the X-Trail offers a wide range of storage and luggage options, as well as its own ‘Divide-N-Hide’ storage system which has sliding shelves to arrange your cargo quickly and easily. Nissan says the system allows owners to separate ‘the dog from the kids, the kids from the ice cream, or the ice cream from the sun,’ and adds that the storage can be adjusted with just one hand. Locally, the all new Nissan X-Trail is available from Ebbett Pukekohe, and the range starts at a recommeded retail of $39,990 for the ST 2WD 7-seater, to the top of the range Ti 4WD 5-seater with all the trimmings at $53,290.

According to New Zealand Transport Agency, winter (usually between June and August) can be the most dangerous time of year on the roads. Motor vehicle accidents involving wet weather, fog, ice and snow can have serious consequences, and these conditions can hit anywhere at any time during winter. Snow can be unpredictable, occurring suddenly in areas like the central North Island and alpine passes in the South Island.

Have your paintwork protected during Winter with a durable wax coating to protect it from the nasty weather

12 Drive slower than you normally would – it only takes a split second to lose control in wet or icy conditions. Avoid sudden braking or turning movements that could cause you to skid. Accelerate smoothly and brake gently, and use your highest gear when travelling uphill and your lowest downhill. For vehicles without anti-skid braking systems, pump the brake pedal in short rapid bursts rather than pressing long and hard to avoid skidding or sliding. Drive at a safe travelling distance because it takes longer to stop on slippery roads. In winter, especially in poor weather, double the two-second rule and leave a safe distance between you and the car you’re following.

Learn to be more confident about driving in winter weather and to make good decisions instead of panicking.

General tips from the AA: • •

•

Carry an effective torch in the car and make sure it has working batteries Keep warm clothing (or a rug) in the car. If your vehicle breaks down, you might need an extra layer Keep your AA Membership card with you. You must present this to receive AA Roadservice assistance Keep your cellphone charged up.

Premier rugby heats up as semi-finals loom

In the Counties Power club rugby competition, things are starting to heat up in the premier grade as the play-offs loom. Waiuku were spurred on by their sponsor’s day at Rugby Park in their 24-11 win over Pukekohe Mitre 10 Mega. Centre Joe Kata celebrated his 250th match for the club and it marked the first home game for prop Maka Tatafu since he returned from Spain. Waiuku started strongly. Luke Graham started their scoring off with a penalty which was increased when their openside flanker Conall Bromwich scored off a rolling maul, which was converted by Graham. Pukekohe came back towards the end of the half with two penalties which made the score 10-6 at the break. Pukekohe continued their attack in the second half and were rewarded when winger Sione Fifita scored, giving Pukekohe the lead for the first time. As they have done in their last few encounters, the Waiuku forwards put their foot on the gas. Hooker Jamie Baker scored from an intercept which saw him run 30 meters. It was converted to give the hosts back the lead. After another series of rolling mauls, Waiuku’s Conall Bromwich crossed for his second try of the day which Graham

converted to end the scoring and has seen Pukekohe replaced in fourth spot by Waiuku with a one point advantage. Next week Pukekohe face Bombay which should be a good match for the spectators. Bombay Gough CAT sit in third place on the table after a 28-10 win over Ardmore Marist. Bombay’s four tries were scored by Aaron Smith, Henry Povey and Patrick Masoe who dotted down twice. Tofaga Iese added the extra’s with one conversion and two penalties. Ardmore Marist’s points were all scored by AJ Alatimu who converted his own try and slotted a penalty. Next week Ardmore Marist should be bolstered by the return of their Junior World Cup players. Karaka sit in top place on the table after their 18-14 win over Patumahoe Hotel. The match was fitting of finals rugby and with these two teams sitting in first and second on the table there is a good chance they could meet each other again if their trends continue. Next week Karaka face Waiuku which will be another outstanding match to watch and the Counties Power Game of the Week. It was a tight contest between Manurewa and Onewhero Carters with the visitors edging out Manurewa

10-5. Onewhero’s second five-eighth Elijah Koaneti scored first try in the game in the first quarter which was converted by Nathan Langsford. Manurewa’s Amosa Nove replied with a try of his own. Right on half time Langsford slotted a penalty to take the score to 10-5 which is where it remained. Despite no score in the second half it was not as boring as the scoreboard suggests with both sides swapping attacks and looking threatening but failing to turn into points. Karaka are in top spot in the Premier Reserve grade despite going down to Patumahoe 14-10. The Waiuku club continued their winning ways with a 24-3 win over Pukekohe, Manurewa beat Onewhero 13-7 and Ardmore Marist edged past Bombay Pokeno Bacon 22-18. Drury showed they were too strong for Papakura in the Counties Power Game of the Week with a 34-13 win in the Sid Marshall Shield Premier match and Te Kauwhata EnviorWaste beat Weymouth 16-6. In the Bill Marsh Cup for the Premier Reserve grade, Weymouth beat Te Kauwhata 19-10 and Drury Stevenson and Papakura had a close encounter with Drury taking the 15-14 victory.

On Saturday June 14, the Clarks Beach Bowling Club celebrated their 40th Jubilee with a meet and greet followed by a luncheon, with a great crowd, of past and present members, of over 80 people in attendance. The luncheon was catered by the Waiau Pa Volunteer Fire Brigade as a fund raising venture and guests were greeted with a glass of sparkling wine or fruit punch and given a bag of goodies to remember the day by. The rooms were decorated with flowers, balloons and napkins in the ruby colours. Photos and photo albums were on display for guests to enjoy and bring back happy memories. After the sumptuous luncheon, Graham Barriball read out a summary of the club’s development over the last 40 years. This started an avalanche of speakers who added their stories and memories. Present was a founding member, Marga-

ret Grenfell, who also spoke of enjoyable past days. Four Life Members stood to cut the cake, this was decorated with the club emblem saved from the 25th Anniversary Cake. “All through the day the

noise of happy reunion was almost overwhelming,” one organiser said, adding “past members were amazed at how well the Club has developed and were pleased to see it in such good health.” The club paid sincere

thanks to Royalene Barriball and her willing band of helpers, whose enthusiasm and hard work made the day possible as well as to the Waiau Pa Volunteer Fire Brigade for their efforts with the delicious luncheon.

THE POST NEWSPAPER, JUNE 24, 2014

Reserves win well after tight tussle While it took 35 minutes for any points to be posted on the scoreboard, the rugby match between Waiuku and Pukekohe Premier Reserves was certainly entertaining. Waiuku had the dominant forward pack but handling mistakes and poor decision making kept them scoreless. Pukekohe benefitted from some ill-discipline and slotted the ensuing penalty to open the scoring. Waiuku pressed strongly in the dying minutes of the half and turned down a penalty to go for the line, but the ball was dropped and so Pukekohe led 3-0 at the break. It took another 20 minutes into the second half before the hard working Waiuku pack were rewarded for their territory gains, by a push over try to Kowhai Nepia (unconverted) from a fine scrum. Now Waiuku appeared to hit another gear with domination of the lineouts, scrums and rucks. Replacement lock Michael Baird scored in the corner which was converted by first five Bayden Morey. Minutes later, Waiuku turned down another penalty and went for the line, this time Dallen Olsen coming up with the ball (unconverted). Soon after, young replacement halfback Aaron Yuill made a fine break and Pukekohe infringed in the ruck. Waiuku again went for touch and from the lineout the forwards went for the push. Kayne Timmo made it over the line for the bonus point try which was converted giving the full time score of 24-3. While all of the forwards could be congratulated, Michael Raaymakers had a superb game and thoroughly deserved his Player of the Day award.

Successes on and off the field on Sponsors Day

Perfect weather, wins for Waiuku, a reunion, and the 250th game for a club stalwart added up to a terrific Waiuku Rugby Sponsors Day on Saturday - capped off by an All Black win! Pictures clockwise from top left: the Reserves thank the crowd, club president Maurice Brighouse presents 250-game man Sosefo Kata with a gift from the club; sponsor Phil Baird shows it was hardly a wid-winter day! Waiuku win a lineout, Under-9s player Maraekaiti Nepia evades a tackle, the Under 9s before their curtain-raiser, and members of the Under-19 side from 1974 gather with their coach Roy Wright at the reunion.
