From its origins in the mid to late 1950s, the Waiuku Netball Centre has continued to develop through the efforts of many loyal volunteers and committees with an eye to the future of the sport in the area. The sport has a local history that goes back decades before the centre was formally established, but it has been with the formation of the centre on Racecourse Road, and the steady upgrades to that facility that has seen the centre now with some 23 clubs and 70 teams. Prior to the centre construction, basketball, as it was known then, was played at George Street School. The original pavilion at the centre was extended in

1978, and again in 1984, before two more courts were added in 1992. The grandstand was opened in 1998, and later the brand-new two-storey pavilion. On Sat-

A morning tea and commemorative presentations marked some changes at the Waiuku Police Station last week as officers and administrative staff gathered to farewell Sergeant Simon Palmer and police volunteer John Clark. Sergeant Palmer is leaving the station after six years as officer in charge, and returning to a role as a detective. He will continue to live in the township, while working for the CIB unit based in Manukau. He says the station complement will remain at a Sergeant and five officers, with the new officer in charge expected to be appointed to the Waiuku station in mid-September. Also leaving the station, albeit for different reasons, is volunteer John Clark, who is moving to Warkworth and semi-retirement with his wife Margaret. John recalls the days of Waiuku being just a two-officer station, and paid tribute to the excellent staff the area has had over the years. “I’ve had a lot of happy memories here,” he says, “it’s been a great period to work here

and I take my hat off to the police we have had in the district. When you see what they have to put up with, and how they handle it, you realise it takes a very special person to be a good cop,” he adds. Police also paid tribute to the work John, and the other volunteers have provided for the community over the years, saying the relatively small staff means without the

volunteers, often the station would not be open, and the interaction with the public has been very important. John doesn’t expect his ‘retirement’ to mean he’ll be sitting around at home - his daughter has a carpet business in Warkworth, and he anticipates he’ll be called in to help with the business from time to time.

Licences required for calf club lambs?

A draft animal control bylaw launched by Auckland Council last week could mean local families will need to apply for a licence to keep their calf club animals in the future on their lifestyle blocks or sections. The new Auckland-wide bylaw will replace 18 sets of regulations inherited from former councils. It will introduce a single approach to managing animals other than dogs. The bylaw includes proposals about keeping other stock - roosters, goats, pigs and geese - in urban areas, in rural areas and in public places. It also refers to horse riding on beaches and parks. There are standards for bees, and also for stock, council stating that under the bylaw a licence from the council will be needed for those wanting to keep more than six chickens or other stock, such as a rooster, goat, pig or sheep on an urban property. Minimum standards including containment and cleanliness of coops will be expected for the keeping of up to six chickens. The Post asked council what the fees would be, and whether the licences would be oneoff or annual, but at this stage this is unclear.

It is also unknown whether fees will apply to each type of animal, meaning licences could be individually required for a sheep, a cow and chickens on one property. A council spokesperson said: “The frequency of obtaining an animal management licence will be determined following the adoption of the bylaw. “Any fee for an animal management licence will be publicly consulted on separately through the Annual Plan process.” Council noted that the submissions process on the bylaw could see changes other than those currently proposed after feedback from the public. It appears virtually all property, other than that zoned as farming, would be affected, council saying the proposed definition for an urban area “includes land zoned Residential and Business under the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan and this includes the Residential Large Lot Zone.” Council encourages submissions on the bylaw, and whether people think the inclusion of this zone is appropriate. Submissions on this bylaw are open now, and close on

September 15, with more information on the Auckland Council website. The proposed bylaw would require a person to obtain a licence to own more than six chickens and any other number or type of stock, such as goats, sheep, cattle and horses, on an urban property, including in the Residential Large Lot Zone. “Since property sizes in residential zones can vary greatly, the purpose of this licence is to ensure the keeping of stock in residential areas is not likely to become a nuisance to neighbours,” the council spokesperson said. “Council encourages submissions on whether people think a licence to keep more than six chickens and any number of other stock in the Residential Large Lot Zone is appropriate.” It appears the proposed bylaw will not affect people training horses on Karioitahi Beach, as council states: “Current regulations regarding horses contained in the Franklin District Council Beach Control Bylaw have been moved to the Proposed Animal Management bylaw with no proposed changes to these regulations.”

In a matter of a few weeks we have a general election which offers one of the most polarising divisions between the two sides of the political spectrum in recent years. In part, that is because a number of people believe the National Party has steadily moved more ‘centre’ than ‘right’ over the past few years. To gain a point of difference then, the opposition has had to go further left, and the crumbling of support for Labour means the only likely change of government would require a strong Green vote, NZ First to align itself with Labour, and the strange alliance that is Internet Mana to scramble some seats on the back of a Hone Harawira win in the far north. It’s a match-up which might win an election, but would surely have a major impact on overseas confidence in our economy, with a government supposedly led by a party which has been polling at under 30%. However, at least the result of the election will be because of the action (or inaction) of voters. In the case of the raft of charges and new bylaws being introduced by Auckland Council, the views of the public are not so transparent. Currently, there are proposals to require licencing for stock on rural lifestyle blocks and sections. Many, many people have a half-dozen chickens. Lots have a sheep or a goat or the family pony on their couple of acres. To require annual licencing for something which has been a rural tradition is a strange thought in Franklin. It’s not ‘one size fits all’. But the question is whether locals will submit to the bylaw, write to council and make their views known. And then, if enough people don’t want those regulations in Franklin, whether council will act. That will be Franklin’s test of democracy.

Bible Sanctification – His Word

Those who claim to be sanctified, while they have no desire to search the Scriptures or to wrestle with God in prayer for a clearer understanding of Bible truth, know not what

true sanctification is. {CCh 54} The sinner cannot be convinced of his guilt unless he understands what constitutes sin. It is impossible for an individual to experience Bible sanctification while he holds that if he believes in Christ it is immaterial whether he obeys God’s law or disobeys it. {FW 31} The followers of Christ are to become like Him--by the grace of God to form characters in harmony with the principles of His holy law. This is Bible sanctification. {AG 20}

Mud and money at Awhitu School Meet Winston Peters This SUNDAY 31st August Kentish Hotel Waiuku 12 - 1pm

Awhitu School’s Amber-lee Cryns and Holly Skelton after completing the muddy fund-raising course. If there are two things country primary school children enjoy it would be school camps and mud. Awhitu School has come up with an innovative way to combine the two as they fund raise for a senior camp at Motutapu Island by creating a ‘Fun Mud Challenge’ to race through a seriously muddy course. To be held on Friday, September 12, the challenge is hoped to attract youngsters from throughout the district to battle their way through the course, having fun and raising funds at the same time. The event, for Year 3 and up, is supported by Awhitu Fire Force, who will be providing First Aid for the event, and it is sponsored by the Presbyterian Camp. The course has been created by the students in Room Two along with their teacher and Megan Hosking (whose farm it will run through). The children have designed

the course, created obstacles and thought through the risk assessments. Organisers say they have done hours of research and planning to get the event in place and have all necessary permits and certificates. There will be hot food and drinks available on the day, spot prizes, goodie bags and a prize for the school with the most entries. The course leaves the Awhitu Environmental Camp, across farmland, sand and to the bay, and traverses up to knee-deep water, very coarse and rough grass, reeds, marshes, a waist-deep stream crossing, under and over fences and to the finish line. The total distance for the course is around 3km, and students have test-run the course in around 25-35 minutes. Organisers say it will be a great family day, and any youngsters or school teams interested in competing can contact Awhitu School on awhiturun@gmail. com or by phoning the school.

Top awards for photographer Waiuku photographer Aliah Jan received a silver and three bronze medals at the prestigious national awards held at the Energy Events Centre in Rotorua earlier this month, including for this evocative image of the steel mill (right). “It is such a joy to receive these medals because this year I was awarded my Associateship to NZIPP as well,” Aliah said. “As a professional photographer, this is an achievement dedicated to all my clients who have supported my business,” she added. The awards are just part of a number of national and international distinctions the local photographer has collected in recent years. The silver award-winning photograph entered into the Travel Category was “On The Road, Cambodia” which was a collection of images of different transportation used in Cambodia and the another bronze medal image was “Oman Desert”. The two Bronze award photographs were from the Documentary Category “The Mill Steaming Up” a photograph of the New Zealand Steel Mill shot from Awhitu peninsula and “Cambodian Monks Worshipping”. The Epson/New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography (NZIPP) Iris Awards attract hundreds of entries from around the country and overseas each year. The awards are highly contested and coveted as they have helped launch and establish many careers. All the entries are judged anonymously over three days by a panel of judges who include some of the most qualified and renowned local and international photographers.

“The awards give photographers an opportunity to push the boundaries, and to see how their work is judged against the rest of the industry,” said

NZIPP President Mike Langford. “As a result, the bar keeps getting raised higher and higher and this year was no exception.”

Waipipi kids make their own path! Last week’s Waiuku Primary Schools cross country was held at Awhitu Regional Park, with the best runners competing at the Franklin Zone Day this week.

Monster sale to aid Tuakau’s young sailors A monster garage sale this Sunday in Tuakau is among a range of activities supporting the aims of local sea scouts to attend a national competition. The Tuakau Districts Sea Scouts started seven years ago with some of the founding youth members and leaders still actively involved today. Currently there are 70 youth members across the four sections, Keas, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers. Tuakau Districts Sea Scouts attended their first National Regatta in 2012. 20 children attended the regatta which was held in Lyttleton and they finished 10th overall. Three years on, the success of the group grows with each year. Tuakau Districts Sea Scouts have achieved

great results at both the Northland Regatta held at Kai Iwi Lakes in March with a First in Intermediate Seamanship, a First in Junior Ironman, a Second in Intermediate Rowing and they achieved their Camping Standard. At the Auckland Regatta held at Shakespear Bay, Whangaparaoa in April, they achieved a First Place in the Junior Sunburst Sailing, First Place Intermediate Kayaks, First Place in Intermediate Ironman, Second Place in Intermediate Rowing and again achieved their Camping Standard. The Group now wish to continue with these successes in a national competition. The National Regatta is held every three years and is being held at Fort Takapuna in Auck-

land at the end of the year. It is open for Scouts and Venturers and Tuakau has around 18 members attending along with six leaders and parents. To help the children get to the Regatta, the group are holding a Monster Garage Sale this Sunday at the Tuakau Districts Sea Scout Hall on River Road in Tuakau. Doors will open at 8.am. Organisers say there will be bargains galore including household items, clothing, books, toys, games, tools, furniture and produce. There will also be a carwash operating and a sausage sizzle. The scouts have been operating regular carwashes on alternate Saturdays at the hall. See the Tuakau Districts Sea Scouts facebook page for more details.

of the most lucrative and sought-after shows in the region. The festival is hosted at Pukekohe Town Hall and Franklin Arts Centre. All the works exhibited are for sale, making it an excellent opportunity to purchase an original piece. Later in the year, the New Zealand Steel Gallery features the exhibition Constant Practice from 20 September - 1 November. Constant Practice presents a selection of ten emerging and established contemporary visual artists, chosen from around the Franklin area and wider Auckland. In this exhibition and publication, the artists talk about how a consistently applied activity such as drawing informs their art making practice. Early in September is the Raising Steam exhibition by local artist Ron Jackson (8 – 19 September). This is a series of watercolour paintings based on trains and railway workers in the Community Gallery.

Saving Faith

“But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above); or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead). But what saith it?

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and

in thy heart; that is, the word of faith, which we preach: that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Rom. 10:6-9.

May we accept these words, especially the

statement in the last verse, as literally true? Shall we not be in danger if we do? Is not something more than faith in Christ necessary to salvation? To the first of these questions we say, Yes, and to the last two we say, No, and refer to the Scriptures for corroboration. So plain a statement cannot be other than literally true and one that can be depended on by the trembling sinner.

6:33), but it cannot be kept except by faith, for the only righteousness which will stand in the Judgment is “that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.” Phil. 3:9.

Read the words of Paul in Rom. 3:31. “Do we

then make void the law through faith? God forbid; yea, we establish the law.” Making void the law of God by man is not abolishing it; for that is an impossibility. It is as fixed as the throne of God. No matter what men say of the law, nor how much they trample upon it and despise it, it remains the same. The only way that men can make void the law of God is to make it of none effect in their hearts by their disobedience. Thus in Num. 30:15, a vow that has been broken is said to have been made void. So when the apostle says that we do not make void the law through faith, he means that faith and disobedience are incompatible. No matter how much the law-breaker professes faith, the fact that he is a law-breaker shows that he has no faith. But the possession of faith is shown by the establishment of the law in the heart, so that the man does not sin against God. Let no one decry faith as of little moment.

But does not the apostle James say that As an instance in proof, take the case of the jailer at Philippi. Paul and Silas, after having been inhumanly beaten, were placed in his care. Notwithstanding their lacerated backs and their manacled feet, they prayed and sang praises to God at midnight and suddenly an earthquake shook the prison, and all the doors were opened. It was not alone the natural fear produced by feeling the earth rock beneath him nor yet the dread of Roman justice if the prisoners in his charge should escape, that caused the jailer to tremble. But he felt in that earthquake shock a premonition of the great judgment, concerning which the apostles had preached; and, trembling under his load of guilt, he fell down before Paul and Silas, saying, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” Mark well the answer; for here was a soul in sorest extremity and what was sufficient for him must be the message of all lost ones. To the jailer’s anguished appeal, Paul replied, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Acts 16:30, 31. This agrees exactly with the words which we quoted from Paul to the Romans.

faith alone cannot save a man and that faith without works is dead? Let us look at his words a moment. Too many have with honest intent perverted them to a dead legalism. He does say that faith without works is dead and this agrees most fully with what we have just quoted and written. For if faith without works is dead, the absence of works shows the absence of faith; for that which is dead has no existence. If a man has faith, works will necessarily appear and the man will not boast of either one, for by faith boasting is excluded. Rom. 3:27. Boasting is done only by those who trust wholly in dead works or whose profession of faith is a hollow mockery.

An outstanding contribution to community patrol services in the local area was honoured last week, as Waiuku’s Gaye Dickey received a certificate from Community Patrols New Zealand. CPNZ Counties Manukau District representative Graeme Walmsley visited the Waiuku Police station last Tuesday, where Gaye serves two days a week as a volunteer, to present her with the award. Graeme says CPNZ has around 4700 volunteers nationwide, with patrol areas matched to the 12 national policing districts, and there are around 160 patrol groups in the country. Gaye says her role with the Waiuku group over the past 19 years has covered everything from documentation, training, roster management and sponsorship, and she adds the group is always looking for more volunteers. Currently there are 28 local members, who patrol on

The team covers a wide area, travelling around 70km per night, and providing ‘eyes and ears’ for local police. And their efforts have borne fruit - the group’s logging of suspicious vehicles has already resulted in police able to apprehend burglars by matching data from police sources and the com-

“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith and have not works? Can faith save him?” The answer necessarily implied is, of course, that it cannot. Why not? Because he hasn’t it. What doth it profit if a man say he has faith, if by his wicked course he shows that he has none? Must we decry the power of faith simply because it does nothing for the man who makes a false profession of it? Paul speaks of some who profess that they know God but who deny Him by their works. Titus 1:16. The man to whom James refers is one of this class. The fact that he has no good works--no fruit of the Spirit--shows that he has no faith, despite his loud profession, and so of course faith cannot save him; for faith has no power to save a man who does not possess it.

munity patrol. The Waiuku group is presently raising funds to purchase a new patrol vehicle, and is about halfway through a campaign to raise enough money to buy one. All donations are welcome and anyone who would like to become a member of the group or make a donation to support their work, is asked to contact Gaye at the Waiuku Police Station.

Home for historic boats needed The maritime section of the Waiuku Museum is hoping a local farmer or businessman has some secure space in which the group can store some historic watercraft. The group, which maintains a number of boats which highlight Waiuku’s historic links to the sea, says the temporary accommodation being used at the moment may not be available soon, and they need a new area to store, and perhaps work on, the boats, some of which are over 100 years old. Eventually, the goal is to create a stand alone maritime museum on

the shores of the Tamakae Estuary, but the plans have been held up while council works out how to handle the land use. Because a large area of the reserve is reclaimed land, council doesn’t actually have a formal record of the title; in fact, as maritime curator Peter Hook says, “council reckons it doesn’t exist!” While there are hopes the situation may be resolved in the near future, in the mean time Peter says any offers of space for the craft would be appreciated. Anyone able to help can call Peter on 235 9999.

Very special train to visit Glenbrook This Labour Weekend the recently-restored AB Class steam engine named ‘Passchendaele’ will be running on the Glenbrook Vintage Railway’s track. Built by the New Zealand Government railway workshops, the engine was named to commemorate the thousands of New Zealand soldiers who were killed at the Battle of Passchendaele in World War One. The battle was one of the bloodiest of the campaign, with New Zealand and Australian

Then how about James 2:14, which says:

On one occasion the Jews said unto Jesus, “What shall we do that we might work the works of God?” Just the thing that we want to know. Mark the reply: “This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” John 6:28, 29. Would that these words might be written in letters of gold and kept continually before the eyes of every struggling Christian. The seeming paradox is cleared up. Works are necessary, yet faith is all-sufficient, because faith does the work. Faith comprehends everything and without faith there is nothing.

Appalling mud and a fierce artillery barrage bogged down the troops in the October battle, and on the first morning of the attack some 117 officers and 3179 men were casualties in just a few hours, for the gain of less than a kilometre of ground. Six days later the Canadian Corps relieved the Anzacs, and by the time the offensive closed in early November 1917, there were more than 100,000 casualties.

The trouble is that people in general have a

faulty conception of faith. They imagine that it is mere assent and that it is only a passive thing to which active works must be added. But faith is active and it is not only the most substantial thing but the only real foundation. The law is the righteousness of God (Isa. 51:6, 7), for which we are commanded to seek (Matt.

Business evening success Inspirational award

for Pukekohe man

Waiuku’s Rise Accounts hosted a very successful business seminar at the Waiuku Rugby Club on Wednesday evening. The focus of the seminar was explaining how to assist businesses to improve their operations through the use of cloud technology. Wednesday evening was the first of a host of seminars which aim to help as many small to medium business throughout Franklin move to a simpler, easier and cost effective way of doing business. Above; Tamara Bennett, Bill Mancer & Lynda Dwyer at Wednesday’s event.

Showrooms on display

The WB&DA held its monthly event at the premises of Haitsma Kitchens, which has recently opened a new kitchen showroom area, with a variety of styles and colours, in their Martyn Street premises.

Pukekohe’s Mike Butcher, pictured below), has been named as one of two inspirational young Aucklanders to win the Z Energy People Awards 2014. The awards, organised by the New Zealand Contractors’ Federation and supported by Connexis, recognise the outstanding achievements of individuals within the civil construction industry. Fulton Hogan contract manager Imraan Mohammed won the Emerging Leader Category while Fletcher Construction foreman, Pukekohe’s Mike Butcher was named Trainee of the Year. Mike often missed lessons to work on the family farm and left school at 14 with no qualifications. He worked in quarrying before joining Fletcher Construction where he seized the chance to significantly upskill and gain formal training. He has now completed 15 of the 17 units of the National Certificate in Infrastructure Works (Supervision) Level 4 ahead of schedule and is planning further study in infrastructure and Business Management. Matt Stewart, one of Z

Energy’s Key Customer Managers, said both were an inspiration. “To have achieved what Imraan and Mike have in a relatively short period of time is nothing short of remarkable,” said Mr Stewart. “Both are juggling the demands of work and study with raising young families and achieving at a very high level in their work. “The testimonials from their employers and those who worked with them are testament to the high regard they are held in. They have very bright futures ahead of them.”

PROPERTY

Franklin property prices MATTERS up 22% in rates values Franklin’s average property values have risen around 22% in the latest Auckland Council property revaluation, which has shown a 33% average rise throughout the entire region. However, concerns that the revaluation will result in a rates spike have been addressed by council, which says the new figures will only determine share of the overall rates, not the total amount. Auckland Council’s Registered Valuer Peter McKay

Your dream home awaits...

says: “At this stage we are looking at an upward movement for the Auckland region of an average 33% since the last revaluation in 2011, which is broadly in line with expectations. “Local board areas with the largest movements – of over 40% – are Kaipatiki, Maungakiekie-Tamaki, Puketapapa and Whau, reflecting a general value increase in the more central suburbs.” “Average movements within the remaining local

Waiuku’s Emergency Response Group (ERG) has received funding from the Waiuku Lions club to purchase signs marking the evacuation centres which will be used should the region suffer a major civil defence emergency. The sites chosen are the Glenbrook Hall, and the Waiuku Golf Club, Cosmopolitan Club and Rugby Club. The Waiuku ERG covers a large area - from Clarks Beach and the Kingseat turnoff, through the Waiuku region and south to the Waikato River. Chair of the group, Caroline Buchanan, says their key message is for people to be prepared with enough food and water for 72 hours, and to have a ‘grab bag’ ready to take to an emergency shelter only in extreme situations. She says a serious storm event or potential chemical road accident are the most likely major local emergencies, but adds that general preparedness is the key for any form of civil emergency. Above: with the new Civil Defence Signage at the Waiuku Information Centre last week were Vanessa Newman, Sharlene Druyven and Christine Buchanan.

boards (excluding the Hauraki Gulf islands) range between 22% and 44%, with the larger movements generally due to proximity to central Auckland, with lower increases found in outer suburban and rural areas.” “Local value movements will vary due to the type of property, its quality and condition, zoning, views and other factors.” Property owners receive their notices in the mail in mid-November 2014. “It’s very important to remember that Auckland’s property revaluation doesn’t determine the total amount of rates collected by the council – rather it helps determine each ratepayer’s share of rates. “The revaluation exercise is used by the council to determine the allocation of rates, and doesn’t affect the overall amount of rates collection. “Capital value, or CV, used as the rating valuation, is the likely price the property would have sold for on 1 July 2014. Its new value will be used to help set rates for the three year rating period beginning next year, 1 July 2015.” All councils are required by law to revalue every property in their region every three years. Over 525,000 properties are being revalued in Auckland. Council’s valuers work with independent organisation Quotable Value Ltd. Before valuations are finalised, they have to be approved by the Valuer-General, who’s responsible for authorising rating valuations for the Government across New Zealand.

More cameras to catch anti-social behaviour by youth

The Waiuku Business and Development Association is working on the Blast to the Past event on October 4, sponsored by Lex & Karen Mills from Waiuku New World, Top Hat Magic, Franklin Local Board and the WB&DA. The night promises to be full of fun and entertainment with the big fireworks finale around 9.15pm. Signage and photos will be put up soon and a competition will be run for school children to identify Waiuku’s iconic landmarks on the poster. We are currently accepting stall booking for the night market so if you would like to register please contact us on 235 6231. Spaces are limited so don’t leave it to the last minute as you will miss out. Our service request to have the broken trees replaced in the town centre and the under planting of trees in Kitchener Road to beautify the pedestrian area has been approved and should be completed in the next few weeks. If you see kids trying to break or hang in the trees can you please tell them to move on. We have a group of kids that have over the last little while been causing a lot of damage in the town by defacing or breaking property amongst other illegal activities. The WB&DA are investing in security cameras around the River Lane area to try and halt some of these issues

By Waiuku Town Centre Manager Sharlene Druyven but we need the public’s help. If you see people defacing, damaging or anything untoward please contact our local police on 2365020. There is a perception that we needn’t bother reporting it as the offenders are often too young and they’ll get a slap on the wrist, but the report is registered and they only get so many strikes until services like Youth Services can do something about them. A huge thank you must go to the New Zealand Steel who allowed us to excess Christmas Parade sponsorship funds to purchase the CCTV cameras for River Lane. The Waiuku NZ Steel Christmas Parade is confirmed for December 13 and the theme is ‘Music and Movies’. This is a great community event and is only made special by the community getting in behind it and getting involved. Contact me if you need any other information or wish to register a float. A group of Waiuku residents including myself and emergency services have been working to create a Civil Defence Plan for Waiuku to prepare us in case of an emergency. This is a good time to remind everyone to take notes on your assets and backup all business files and information in case of emergency. This was one area which caused many Christchurch people huge financial headaches with loss of

business and drawn-out insurance claims. The WB&DA distributed approximately 1600 Civil Defence packs to all primary school children in the hope they encouraged parents and caregivers to prepare household emergency plan and survival kits. For more information on getting ready and getting through go to www.getthru.govt.nz. As many of you may have read in the Post the Waiuku market is resuming in the Kentish car park on September 7, run by Traci Hyland. She is hoping to replicate the flea market concept of old which many locals will remember was a real hit and a ‘must see’ on a Sunday morning. If you would like to have a stall at the market or are a budding entertainer and would like to perform at the market please contact Traci on (021) 173 9428. We are looking for someone to hang the Christmas lights in town. These are usually hung on December 1 and are taken down the first week of January. Occasionally some of these lights are vandalised and need to be replaced. They are easy to hang and no experience is necessary, however an electrical background would be an advantage. Please contact me if you are interested on 2356231.

Student’s style to be strutted on Auckland catwalk Waiuku College Year 11 student is taking her design skills to a regional stage this weekend when her recycled fashion is paraded at the Walk the Line fashion show. Havilah Koledoye (pictured right), has her sights set on being a designer in the future, and created one of the feature dresses during the College’s recycled fashion event earlier this year. Her dress (pictured at left), combined paper and playing cards to produce sumptuous evening wear made from recycled components. Her creation for Fashion Week took around two months to design, and then two nights to assemble, with a number of paper roses having to be manufactured before the whole outfit could be put together. Havilah has a friend from Papakura, Faith Meikle, as her model, and the pair are hoping the model/designer combination is enough to bring home the big prize on Saturday night. The event, part of New Zealand Fashion Week, brings together talented young designers from across New Zealand who have each entered one garment into the show to try and take home the title of ‘NZ Fashion Week’s Young Designer of the Year’. Designed, made, modelled and run by youth, one of this event’s most interesting features is the youth involvement. Organised by the ‘Raise Up’ crew, even the hair and make up is done by students.

DENTS REMOVED NO PAINTING ‘IT’S FIXED or IT’S FREE” Neville Bull ~ Your Local Technician:

During periods of heavy rain, put your headlights on low beam in order to be seen from the front as well from behind or park in a safe place. If an animal suddenly appears on the road in front of you, hold the steering wheel firmly, do not swerve, sound your horn and press firmly on or pump the brakes. An insect in the car? Stay calm and open the windows if you have the controls on your armrest. Stop the car as soon as possible, open the windows, if you haven’t already done so, and with the help of an object, guide the insect slowly and gently out of the vehicle. Finally, check the air pressure in your tyres on a monthly basis; under-inflated tyres wear more quickly. Don’t drive all summer with your winter tyres as they have less road adherence, especially in water; braking distance is a third longer and your gas consumption will be higher. Change your windshield wipers every year; dried out rubber causes streaks of water which reduce visibility.

Pukekohe Windscreens

Before leaving, answer any text or voice messages, choose the radio station or CD’s you’d like to listen to and adjust the volume and the interior temperature of the car. All of this should be done to avoid any “primary” distractions while driving. When the sun is in your eyes be sure to slow down and keep your distance in order to have more brake time. If you’re blinded by headlights at night, look ahead and slightly to the right. Cleaning the inside of your windshield will also help — a dirty windshield increases glare.

Parents putting young drivers at risk

Statistics suggest 26% of all traffic accidents are caused by phone use. they saw their own parents use their phones as they drove, they really believed it was okay. “As parents, the influence of our example is always going to be potent. If there is a disparity between what we do and what we say, it will be our actions that speak loudest.” Young people could be genuinely ex-

cused for thinking ‘everyone is doing it’. Even though it is illegal to use your mobile device while driving, a survey of over 37,000 New Zealand drivers carried out in June, 2013 showed 1.3% had a cell phone held up to their head and a further 2% were probably texting. But there is now no doubt that it is incredibly dangerous – American statistics now estimate 26% of all traffic accidents are caused by phone use – and young people are already far more likely to have crashes anyway. New Zealand research shows that 1519 year-old male drivers are nine times and female drivers seven times, more likely to crash than older drivers. “As parents we need to be a bit more thoughtful”, advises Cowan. “Let’s not call our kids when they are probably driving. If we do call – or take a call from them – make your first statement, ‘Are you driving? Text when you’re not and I’ll call you back.’ “And, as regards setting a good example, well... that’s the toughest part of parenting, isn’t it. It’s not just saying the right stuff it’s doing the right stuff. ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ never works.”

Police technology nabs more than just drivers The car you’d rather be hit by Before you step into the path of a car this week, it might pay to check whether the oncoming vehicle is a Lexus IS 300H hybrid - if it is, you have a better chance of surviving the impact. The Lexus has recently been awarded a 5-star safety rating, and boasts an ‘active’ bonnet which rises to provide additional clearance between its surface and the engine to protect the head of a pedestrian if struck by the car. Sensors in the bumper detect when a pedestrian has been struck and actuators lift the bonnet to provide greater clearance to the hard structures underneath. Lexus has showed in European testing that the system could detect pedestrians of different statures over a range of speeds. Accordingly, the car was tested with the bonnet in the deployed position and provided good or adequate levels of protection over most of the bonnet surface. The bumper and the leading edge of the bonnet also performed well, the car scoring maximum points for the protection it offered to the legs and pelvis of a struck pedestrian.

New technology being utilised around the Franklin district is catching more than just vehicle offences, as recent incidents have shown. Waikato Police are crediting the investment in modern technology for the recovery of a stolen car and a large amount of what is believed to be methamphetamine in one case, and across the country further incidents have showcased the success of vehicle recognition software in finding stolen goods, stolen cars and drugs. Waikato District Road Policing Manager, Inspector Freda Grace, said an officer manning an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) equipped patrol car stopped a Mazda car one morning last month. “The ANPR system sits on top of the patrol car and scans and records the number plates of passing vehicles, instantly checking them against the Police’s database. The system identified the car as having been stolen in Auckland. It was then stopped and a search revealed a plastic bag of what was believed to be methamphetamine and another bag containing about 3gms of the same substance. Mrs Grace said as a result of the discovery the 24-year-old female driver of the car, another 24-year-old woman travelling as a passenger and a 27-year-old man were arrested. “During Waikato trials of ANPR last year, one patrol car equipped with the system scanned 1600 vehicles and identified 28 of interest. This resulted in four being impounded and one driver being suspended.”

Parents may be unwittingly contributing to their children’s motor vehicle accidents, according to a recent survey which shows half of all teenage drivers talk to their parents on the phone while driving. “Teenagers say that their parents will be really annoyed if they don’t respond to their calls straight away”, says New Zealand writer and researcher at The Parenting Place, John Cowan. The United States study of 395 young drivers showed they were more likely to talk on their phones to their parents, as they drove, than to anyone else. They were more likely to text than call their friends but 16% said they texted their parents whilst driving as well. “It’s great that parents and teenagers want to stay in touch. “Parents call their young people out of concern for their safety so it’s tragically ironic that these calls quite probably contribute to traffic accidents”, comments Cowan. “The other thing that should make parents gulp is that this research also included interviews with young drivers, and these kids said that because

Warnings over weather and bag limits Smudge says.....

There are no certainties with fishing and the most reliable thing about this time of the year is that the weather is likely to be terrible, with short bursts of sunny calm days sent to tease us into thinking we’re having an early spring. MidAugust saw winter at its worst with winds at the Manukau Heads gusting in excess of 130km/hr. That weather took its toll on the Te Toro boat launching facility, smashing poles and sinking pontoons. A few hard working Counties Sport Fishing Club members and local business owners got together to clear up the mess and the facility is now usable again but there is no light left at the end of the breakwater and half of the pontoons have been removed for safety reasons. We ask users at the ramp to be patient as we wait for the right tides to effect a permanent repair and extend our thanks to those who helped us get things sorted. There have been few opportunities to get out and those who have been out are reporting slow fishing although there are still gurnard and kahawai to be caught if you’re patient. It is now whitebait season but with the amount of water falling from the sky that’s likely to be tough going at least until conditions improve but of course from now on in there will be longer and longer spells of good weather. Scallop season opens on September 1 and I’m looking forward to that. The minimum size is currently 100mm across the shell and the maximum take is twenty per person per day. Those claiming their limit must be involved in harvesting that catch. There have been a few high profile cases in the news where recreational anglers have been caught with many times their limit, resulting in hefty fines, community service and confiscation of boats, cars and fishing gear. Even one undersized fish or one too many can result in a fine of $250. Snapper limits for the Manukau Harbour and the entire North Island West Coast (Snapper Area 8 or SNA8) remain at 10 per person per day with a minimum size of 27cm. For Auckland’s East Coast (SNA1) the limit is seven snapper per person per day with a minimum size of 30cm. Limits apply for some other fish species so please learn the rules before you venture out. Spring is just around the corner and it is a very exciting time for those who hunt snapper off the West Coast. The fish will be big, mean and hungry! From mid-

boat service Quality Maintenance of Boat Motors, Trailers & Electrical Above: Alan Smith with a nice pair of spring snapper. September onward they should start to school up in large numbers in deeper water – I would go straight to 60m deep. Big hooks, heavy sinkers and heavy gear will help to reduce bust offs should you encounter sharks. It is also worth noting that if the fish are big and abundant it may pay to use single hook rigs as two fish playing tug of war on the end of your line can result in broken hooks and lost fish. Weather patterns are unpredictable this time of year so please check conditions before venturing out, don’t be tempted to take risks even if the fishing is red hot. Take care on the water and good luck with the fishing!

$160 fee for new fishing licences for visitors Fish & Game New Zealand is launching new licences for overseas anglers who visit the country to fish for longer than a day or so. The non-resident season licence (NRL) will cost $160 – a third more than Kiwis pay. The new licence is aimed in particular at the dedicated overseas angler who comes to New Zealand to fish for

trout intensively for days, if not weeks. Non-resident licences will be on sale for the new fishing season which begins October 1, and must be purchased by any visitor from another country who wants to fish for trout for an extended period. 24-hour licences will still be available to them, but they’ll no longer be eligible for NZ adult

Some fish stocks on rise Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy has announced increases to catch limits for a range of New Zealand fisheries, which he says shows the success of the Quota Management System (QMS). Healthy stocks have led to increased Total Allowable Catch (TAC) limits for: Hoki 1 (10,100 extra tonnes across New Zealand), Orange Roughy 7A (1155 extra tonnes on the upper West Coast) and Orange Roughy 3B (525 extra tonnes around the lower South Island) “These changes are estimated to be worth almost $24 million in revenue. New information for the orange roughy stocks indicates they have fully rebuilt in certain areas and are within or above the agreed management target range. “At the same time we must exercise caution and rebuild fish stocks where we need to. With this in mind I have reduced catch limits for Mid-East Coast orange roughy (ORH2A, 2B and 3A) and have decided to close Mair Bank and Marsden Bank, located at the entrance to Whangarei Harbour (PPI 1A), to commercial and recreational harvesting of pipi. MPI will complete a stock reassessment within three years.

whole season, family or winter licences. If a non-resident is caught angling using anything other than an NRL or a 24-hour licence, they will be treated in the same way as an unlicenced angler. Prosecution could follow. Fish & Game CEO Bryce Johnson says the non-resi-

dent licence has been introduced to ensure that such anglers pay their “fair share” towards the management of our fisheries. Mr Johnson notes that the new licences won’t impact on the tourist who plans a casual day’s fishing – as noted they will still be able to buy a 24-hour licence at no extra cost.

Thriller as Shield stays

The Ranfurly Shield will stay in Counties Manukau for at least another week after they beat Otago 29-25 in a match that kept the big crowd of fans on their seats till the very end. It wasn’t flawless performance but in Ranfurly Shield rugby the only thing that counts is the scoreboard. However the Steelers scrums did improve from the previous week and they looked more familiar with their attack in patches, however errors cost them some ideal scoring opportunities. Otago went out to a 7-0 lead with their first try to hooker Liam Coltman. The Steelers replied with a try to Dan Hyatt which Ahsee Tuala converted with Baden Kerr ruled out with a fractured finger. Ronald Raaymakers extended the Steelers lead with his try which was again converted by Tuala. Otago fired back with a penalty to take the score to 14-10 in the

host’s favour at half time. The Steelers went out to a comfortable lead with a tries to Jordan Taufua and Michael Stanley with ten left on the clock. However Otago came storming back to within four points in the closing minutes of the game with tries to prop Aki Seiuli and wing Fa’asiu Fuatai which put the home crowd on edge, but when the final whistle blew the Ranfurly Shield was safe for another week. At the after match, co-captain Augustine Pulu was presented with a gift for his 50th match for the side and Onosa’i Auva’a was awarded the Player of the Day for the Steelers and Hayden Parker for Otago. Next week the Steelers face Hawke’s Bay who they took the Ranfurly Shield off, so it promises to be another thrilling match on Saturday at 2.35pm at ECOLight Stadium. The curtain raiser is the Counties Manukau Heat v Hawke’s Bay at 12.10pm

Record win for Counties B

The Counties Manukau B rugby team defeated Auckland B at the Pakuranga Rugby Club grounds on Saturday by 4834 in what was possibly a highest score ever inflicted on and Auckland side by any Counties team. The game was notable, not only for the record score but also for Pukekohe winger, Sione Fifita, completing the game with a personal tally of 38 points made up of five tries, five conversions and a penalty goal. Counties began the match in brilliant sunshine and immediately stunning the home team by scoring two tries (one converted) and a penalty goal to lead 15 nil after only 10 minutes. All the points came from right winger, Sione Fifita. Auckland fought back with three tries, two to winger Ben Paltridge and one to halfback and skipper, Pete Cowley. With two of the tries converted by first five, Carl Perry, Auckland took the lead, 19-15 but Counties fullback, Jared Page, made a brilliant burst through weak tackling to score under the posts. This try was converted by Fifita who, right on the halftime whistle, intercepted on his own goal line to run the length of the field to score. He converted this try to give Counties Manukau a 29-22 lead at the break. The early stages of the second half were a bit an an ‘arm wrestle’ but Auckland

managed a ‘soft try’ by first Perry who converted to draw the scores level. Counties Manukau scrum was hugely dominant at this point and from one of these set pieces, second five John Leteru, cut the Auckland defence to ribbons with a piercing run to dot down under the posts. Fifita converted and the visitors went ahead 36-29. With about ten minutes left on the clock, Counties Manukau was rampant and they scored two more tries through Fifita, one through an intercept while Auckland were on attack. Only one of these was converted but it took the score to an unassailable 48 points to 29. Counties Manukau seemed to ease off knowing the game was well and truly in the bag and they allowed Auckland’s winger, Paltridge, to sneak over to make the score look a little more respectable for the home team. Co-coach, John Bell was esctatic about the way his side performed, saying: “We had a mixed build-up but everyone went outstandingly well. It reminded me of the Counties teams of the ‘70s – Bruce Robertson’s days – we beat them by having a good crack at them.” Counties Manukau B will travel to New Plymouth at the weekend where they will meet Taranaki on Sunday.

Waiuku’s promotion Indians hockey triumph Waiuku Senior Touch hopes on knife edge Entry Form

Above: Waiuku’s Dom Winter is clattered to the deck in Saturday’s match against Onehunga-Mangere at Massey Park. Waiuku AFC kept their promotion chances alive with a fine 2-0 victory over Onehunga Mangere at Massey Park. And they needed to as Papakura also won over Albany meaning that it is neck and neck going into the final game of the season. Waiuku will need to win and hope Papakura drop points as Papakura have a much better goal difference. Waiuku have made a habit of starting strong and so it was again. Derek Sinclair spotted captain Cody Ralph surging forward from centre midfield and after he beat his defender for pace, the defender could only take him down in the box. Luke Chapman scored his 21st goal of the season by sending Glenn Pascoe in goal the wrong way. Onehunga Mangere had plenty of chances throughout the game, but could not quite score, and late in the match Greg Crestanello delivered a bit of magic to give Waiuku the three points. As Waiuku progressed down the right hand side, Crestanello hit the ball with his left foot and into the top left hand corner from 25 yards out. Coach Jim Evans was happy the team had kept their hopes alive: “Again we have come out and done a job and today it was against a very good Onehunga Mangere team. Lets hope Fencibles can do us a favour next week. Man of the match was Mitch Thomasen.”

Hangi to end league season Waiuku Rugby League is ending its season with an Under-8 prizegving and hangi, barbecue and whitebait at its Hamilton Drive grounds this Saturday. The community, sponsors and supporters are invited to celebrate the year. This year the club has started a new project working alongside a trained coach and mentor at three local primary schools and Waiuku College. The six-week programme introduces rugby league tackle, and involves drills, coaching and nutrition. After the six-week plan it is intended to hold a primary schools competition.

The Pukekohe Indian Sports Club has enjoyed a successful year taking top honours in the Counties Manukau Hockey Association finals played in the weekend. The Indian Premiers Mens team won the Counties Manukau Hockey Premier competition, with the Pukekohe Indians Development team winning the Reserve grade final against another of the Club’s teams, the Pukekohe Indians Reserve A team. To top off the Club’s success, the other two senior mens teams made their respective finals in their grades meaning all of the Club’s teams were playing for a trophy. As well as success in the Counties Manukau Hockey Association competition, the Indian Premier Mens hockey team has also been performing in the Midlands Intercity hockey competition. The last month for the Indians Premier team has been a real turnaround with every game being a sudden death match to qualify for the Intercity final four. On Saturday night the team came up against an all-star Thames Valley team in Ngatea (Intercity semi-final) and were pretty much taken to the cleaners by a well drilled team that executed well. By Sunday afternoon they were back on the field in the local Counties Manukau Hockey Association final. The final against Waiau Pa Premiers was a very tense game and after Indians took a two goal lead, Waiau Pa fought back and levelled the score. Opportunities aplenty were created by Indians but not taken. In the second half with persistent pressure the flood gates broke, and a hat trick from Wade Somani sealed the deal for Indians.
