Everything was on the line going into the last weekend of the season, with Waiuku and Papakura equal on 41 points, and both chasing the final promotion position. Papakura had the edge with a better goal difference, so Waiuku needed an away win against Warkworth, while hoping Papakura couldn’t beat Auckland side Fencibles. Knowing what was at stake, Waiuku started nervously and went one-nil down, under pressure and Waiuku’s ‘keeper Justin Baldwin was called on to make several good saves. At halftime, Waiuku were told to settle their nerves and leave nothing on the table. That is exactly what they did. A good through ball found Luke Chapman, who lobbed the ball over the keeper to equalise, before captain Cody Ralph scored the goal of the game to send the Waiuku supporters into raptures. Waiuku extended their lead soon after through Derek Sinclair, Ralph almost scored
again, before Chapman made it a double, and Waiuku had completed the first part of the equation with a 4-1 win. The players went into a huddle on the halfway line waiting for the final Papakura result. A mobile phone went off and the Waiuku players, supporters and coaches were in raptures after hearing Papakura had finished 1-1 with Fencibles. Coach Jim Evans said he was ‘in dreamland’. “It is quite unbelievable that a club the size of Waiuku has achieved this result. Make no mistake, this is an epic achievement and all the people involved with this result should be so proud of this effort. We have shown that passion and heart get you a long way if you really believe. It is a fantastic feeling to be receiving so many congratulations from other NRFL clubs and the football community as a whole. Every player should get player of the day today.”
World-first for Pukekohe company Deputy Prime Minister Bill English was in a tractor last week when he presided at the official handover ceremony of Auckland Airport’s world-first super-fast airport mower - a machine developed by Pukekohe business Fieldmaster. City Parks Services, the airport’s maintenance contractor, had found the wet boggy conditions at much of the Mangere site (which is close to sea level) often defeated conventional mowing equipment, especially with such a vast area, large parts of which are only accessible for brief periods due to planes taking off and landing. In response, Fieldmaster developed a machine which can cut over 60,000 square metres per hour and do so with the same ground pressure as a man (around 7 Psi). Grass control is a fundamental part of
Let’s have some FUN together!
airport habitat management worldwide. Cutting the grass with the right frequency, to the right height, plays a vital role in keeping birds away from the runway. Auckland Airport is delighted with the quality of cut and all-weather availability of the machine. “We are a 24 hour operation, with over 400 planes using our runway every day, meaning that large parts of the airfield are only accessible for brief periods of time. This means that finding the time to mow 200,000 square metres of grass is a feat unto itself and requires some very time-efficient equipment” stated Littlewood. The machine uses a ground-following system to control three carbon-fibre decks as it cuts at twenty kilometres an hour, three or four times faster than traditional equipment.

As a rule, I don’t mind breakfast television. It’s delivered in half-hour blocks of pretty much the same news, so in between putting together a coffee and some toast and trying to find a relativelyironed shirt you can catch up on the key issues of the day. But it’s gone to pot. Last week, sandwiched between the Ukraine crisis, Nicky Hagar’s stolen email book and the weather report we had some woman called Miley Cyrus dangling around half-naked on a wrecking ball. Then we had photos of local people doing the same thing, followed by the hosts of the show discussing the photos. I put it down to a slow news day, and went back to scraping the burned bits off my toast. This morning however, I managed to find 15 minutes to catch up on the news and perched on the sofa to find out what were the vital matters of interest for the economy, the nation and the world in general. Breathlessly, I was informed that coming up after the break we would find out about a ‘chilly reception in Dunedin’ and all would be revealed about the drama! Riveted, I leaned closer to the television, clasping my coffee, only to discover the ‘breaking news’ referred to last night’s episode of My Kitchen Rules! Let’s be clear here - my morning news programme is now reporting on a show that was filmed months ago, which is now somehow news because it was on TV the night before. (Of course, the same media that has no issues with reporting stolen emails will never reveal the winner of MKR before their sponsors allow them, although that would be actual ‘news’.) Mind you, I’m now looking forward to tomorrow morning’s show in the hope the hosts will accidentally reveal whether Little Joe will get his horse back on Saturday’s episode of Bonanza.

Forget the sculptures; what about Franklin’s transport? If Auckland Mayor Len Brown and the council are wanting to cut costs for their upcoming budget, the proposed $1.5 million state house sculpture on Queens Wharf should be on the top of the list of projects to be deferred or scrapped, not core public amenities like railway station and public toilet upgrades, which are actually needed.

Reunion for Whiriwhiri families • Whiriwhiri wedding; Annie ‘Tessie’ McNamara and Gorham Bird, 1913.
Next month will see a 150 years reunion for the descendants of Whiriwhiri family settlers who sailed on the Steinwaerder from Cape Town arriving in NZ on the 14th October 1864. These immigrants were allocated five-acre allotments as per the Cape’s rules. Upon arriving in Waiuku, the men set to work to build the road to Whiriwhiri with picks and shovels, also assembling timber for bridges over creeks. On February 2nd 1865, some Steinwaerder passengers were finally shown to their allotments. Whiriwhiri, an old Maori clearing with a Ngati Te Ata pa next door was not a bad place to be. The soil was good, watered by reliable streams and plenty of timber at hand. These settlers were given a week on full rations in which to build themselves a raupo whare. A weatherboard house was a luxury, being reserved for future prosperity. Family names of Hickey, Egan, Priest, Burns, Enright, Braun, McNamara, Hammond, Harvey & Cummings are among those with their origins from those days. The reunion will be held on October 11 at the Waiuku Cosmopolitan Club for lunch. A visit to the Waiuku cemetery and a drive to Whiriwhiri is planned. Interested persons can contact Dianne Hogan: 235 1624 or Bev Cochrane: 235 0816.

Licences just to gather revenue After being away for four months it is so good to receive The Post and find out what’s going on in our district. I read yesterday about the Auckland Council proposing to introduce a bylaw for licensing animals in rural areas. Initially I thought this was a good idea as it would mean people who don’t look after their animals would not be given a licence or would need to improve their standards before getting a licence. However on reflection I wondered who would monitor all these small holdings. We pay a dog licence but no one has ever come to check on how we treat our dog. Perhaps this is just another revenue gathering exercise to take money from the rural sector and the welfare of the chickens, goats, sheep, cattle and horses is not the motivation behind this bylaw.

Candidates speak at public meetings
Advance voting opens tomorrow
High interest in the coming election has seen around 80 people attend a meeting in Pukekohe, and around 150 at the Waiuku Rotary-organised meeting in Waiuku. Maurice Lovegrove reports below on the Pukekohe event. Over 80 people attended the Meet the Candidates evening last Tuesday night in Pukekohe. The seven candidates and representatives of political parties in the Hunua Electorate all addressed the meeting with a short speech and then responded to questions written by the audience and presented by facilitator Alex Penk. Everyone seemed to be impressed by the high calibre of the seven people on the stage and the venue also turned out to be ideally suited for the purpose. The venue was the new Pukekohe Reformed Church on the corner of Seddon and Victoria Streets. The evening commenced with a mix and mingle time, giving candidates and attendees the opportunity to meet and talk over light drinks and nibbles. Mrs Judith Hull QSM, representing the organisers, Franklin Christian Lobby, opened the meeting and introduced the facilitator for the night, Mr Penk who in turn introduced the seven candidates. Following each candidates’ five minute speech there was a short break where the audience was able to write out questions and hand them in for presentation to the candi-
dates by the facilitator. This worked very well and produced vigorous debate from them all. The hour allowed for this passed quickly and those attending felt that they are now better informed than earlier. For ACT, Ian Cummings said that the government should not be putting their hand in the public’s pocket. For the Conservatives, Neville Hudson said that it is high time his party’s bottom line of Binding Referendums was introduced to make politicians more accountable. Greens representative Rick Leckinger spoke in terms of his party working with Labour in government. Labour’s Arena William presented a fresh young face with youthful enthusiasm and a passion for faith based organisations and individuals to get involved in politics. The recently selected National Party candidate Andrew Bayly spent most of his time introducing himself as he expects to be our new MP. Jon Reeves of the New Zealand First presented as the most enthusiastic “super-salesman” of the evening and simply kept reminding everyone to party vote his party. The Democrats for Social Credit party’s Huia Mitchell explained their new monetary policy they want to introduce into NZ’s political system.

A celebration of Franklin’s musical theatre
A lavish concert-style show being held in Pukekohe over the next two weeks is being billed as more than just a production - it is a true celebration of performing arts in the Franklin community. Pukekohe Performing Arts is the groups behind the production, and the theatre group was formerly known as the Pukekohe Light Opera Company (PLOC), an organisation which began 40 years ago. Over the past four decades the group has featured hundreds of talented local performers, and to mark the anniversary PPA has created a show which draws on many of the famous productions which have been performed at Harrington Theatre over the years. With a cast of 35 players, ranging in age from 7 to 74, the ambitious show features snippets of songs that have been woven together to create a tapestry that celebrates the true colours of current and past performers. The show features songs from past productions such as Les Miserables, Jesus Christ Superstar, Oliver, South Pacific, Fiddler on the Roof, The Sound of Music, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and many more. More important than the songs are the people, and that’s what this show celebrates. The club hunted down some of the past performers from the original productions, and they’ll be featured throughout the show. A solid chorus of talented performers, both old and new, deliver the music. Where possible the original performers have been given the songs they performed previously to restore to their former glory. Included in the show will be memorabilia from past productions, adding a touch of nostalgia to proceedings. As one of the organisers said: “If

there’s one thing you can count on in a community theatre production it’s the dedication of the people involved. What begins as a concept must be fleshed out and moulded into something workable and potentially fabulous. The amount of time devoted by the production team, directors and cast and crew is immense. And all for the love of music, love of theatre, and love of our community.” “The time and effort being devoted to this production is truly remarkable, especially considering the range of
performers involved and how faithfully the team are working to recreate some of the magical moments that happened over the past 40 years. It’s a labour of love, and something not to be missed.” The show runs Thursday to Sunday, on September 4-7 and September 1114 at the Harrington Theatre in Pukekohe, with 8pm shows apart from Sundays, which have a 2pm showing.

Arts festival lives up to advance billing The 25th Franklin Arts Festival opened in a glittering gala night on Friday evening and, billed as one of the top events on the Auckland art scene, it does not disappoint. There are 650 items on display, and the overall winner (left) was Te Aroha artist Michael Barker with his piece ‘Green Man’ which claimed the $3000 top prize for best in show. But the sheer scale of the art is as good as the quality on display. Winning youth artist Gavin Chai (pictured below left with Franklin Local Board chair Andy Baker), showed his skills in the oils section, while Pukekohe High School’s Chelsea Twiss, (below right) was a prize winner in the youth section as well. Amid the many paintings in the exhibition, there are also the quirky and unusual items, such as the shoebox scultpure below by Waiuku’s E Firn, and the functional textile art of Waiuku’s K Collins, titled Vintage Love, and featuring a combination of furs and mens’ ties. The exhibition is stunning and well worth a visit - but allow plenty of time! • See the Post’s facebook page for images from the opening night.

Prodigal Son
In this edition we will play with an age old
parable, and once more find new depths to ponder. Let us get our Bibles out and turn to Luke 15:11-32 and now read it together. It is a great story, and full of depth and pathos. The first thing that captures ones attention is the Prodigal, he comes to his Father and basically says “Drop Dead,” as there is never inheritance without a death, the prodigal wants inheritance, so he wants his Father dead and out of the way so that he can have life at its fullest; well so he thinks.
I find in verse 29 an inference that Father went to the bank and took out a big fat loan on the farm to pay off the Prodigal as the at home son seemed to believe he had sweated out for many years, with no benefits, to repay the Loan that useless Prodigal had just squandered away. Jewish inherited land cannot be sold, it forever remained, “Family Property.” Looking at the two sons, both appear to have been lost, at home son appears to have spent his time working and had no quality relationship with Father, Prodigal only saw Father as a gross restriction to real life, and he wanted Father dead and out of his way, thus also no relationship. The Question, What depth of relationship do we actually have with our Heavenly Father?
If we take, son at home to equal church members, and prodigal as non-church members, it gets scary as nobody has a real relationship with our Heavenly Father, the Churched are just mechanically doing the work, just working through the services and activities, no relationship, and the Prodigal’s full focus is just partying hard out and living life to the fullest, well so he currently thinks. I love the part where the Prodigal, deep in the mire, comes to his senses, this is true repentance, for he has tasted sin to the dregs and it has left a very bad taste in his mouth, and his so called mates have evaporated and abandoned him. This “Good Life” is a reducer, at home, life was an increaser, verse 17 “bread enough and to spare,” he sees the bounties of heaven and gets very homesick, and in essence, walks off the job, he is going back to God, he is going back Home, he is going to where food is really satisfying, and relationships are real, he is just plain, going.
Father seems to know something that both
sons’ have missed. He keeps constantly watching down the road as he knows that in time, Prodigal will come home, Prodigal will experience for himself that Sin is not what it is cracked up to be, that true peace and real life is found only in a real relationship with our Heavenly Father. If one crosses to “Tradition,” we get some extra insights. Mature Gentlemen NEVER EVER run, not under any circumstances, they are able to walk crisply but very dignified and regally when it is critical to hurry, well, just a wee bit.
Prodigal has shamed the family name, therefore he must die to take away the shame, in essence, Prodigal has a price on his head, “Dead or Alive,” and preferably in a body bag. Why Father runs, is now obvious, as he has to get to Prodigal son before the assassin does (Avenger of Blood) as Prodigal has killed the Family’s Good Name, he dies (wages of Sin). Father holds Prodigal close in protection and compassion, the orders run out for instant solutions, Prodigal is fully restored and his sin is covered by “The Robe of Christ’s Righteousness.” His grave situation is hid, and he is presented back to the Family as if he had always been at home. Party Time, and the Prodigal now clearly sees the difference between his riotous revelry, and Heavenly feasting in real fellowship and bonding, it is so obvious to him now. Prodigal is home, and he is never ever going to ever leave again, when you have experienced the best (Heavenly), there is certainly no other option to consider. The love of God still yearns over the one who has chosen to separate from Him, and He sets in operation influences to bring him back to the Father’s house. The prodigal son in his wretchedness “came to himself.” The deceptive power that Satan had exercised over him was broken. He saw that his suffering was the result of his own folly, and he said, “How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father.” Miserable as he was, the prodigal found hope in the conviction of his father’s love. It was that love which was drawing him toward home. . . . {CSA 12} The parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son, bring out in distinct lines God’s pitying love for those who are straying from Him. Although they have turned away from God, He does not leave them in their misery. He is full of kindness and tender pity toward all who are exposed to the temptations of the artful foe. {COL 198} In the parable of the prodigal son is presented the Lord’s dealing with those who have once known the Father’s love, but who have allowed the tempter to lead them captive at his will. {COL 198} To give a true representation of the tender, loving, pitying care exercised by His Father, Jesus gave the parable of the prodigal son. Though His children err and stray from Him, if they repent and return, He will receive them with the joy manifested by an earthly father in receiving a long-lost son who in penitence returns.-- {Ev 56}
It may be 10 months away, but Clark’s Beach mouth painter Trevor Wells is looking forward to June 2015 when people around the world will flip the page on the calendar to see his art. Two of Trevor’s paintings have been chosen to appear on the MFPA 2015 calendars which have just been released for sale – ‘A Winter’s Trail’ (pictured right), will appear in June on the wall art calendar, and ‘Winter Gate’ is June’s image on the desk art calendar. Trevor is a mouth painter and board member of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) and last year moved to New Zealand from the UK. In 1978 Trevor was playing rugby in the UK when a collapsed scrum left him permanently paralysed. Follow-
ing long months in hospital and despite having no previous interest in art Trevor was persuaded to try painting by holding a brush in his mouth. Since then, Trevor has developed a distinctive style which has made him one of the MFPA’s most recognised and popular artists.
Trevor’s favourite subjects are landscapes, which he paints in acrylics most of the time. Often painting from photographs, Trevor’s precise observation of nature makes his paintings particularly attractive. The release of the 2015 MFPA merchandise includes several new product categories such as a microfibre baby bath set, a set of 3D Christmas gift tags, Christmas serviettes, gift tags and wrapping paper. The new products are sold alongside popular favourites including jigsaw puzzles, address books, notebooks, greeting cards and placemats, all featuring art created by mouth and foot painting artists from around the world. All products are available to purchase on-line through www.mfpa.co.nz.
Choreography, costume and song
Sunday @ St Andrews for September features one of the region’s favourite choral groups, The City of Auckland Singers. This group has been entertaining concert lovers for many years and has recently returned from the
Festival of Voices in Hobart, Tasmania, where they sang at a number of exciting venues including the asylum at Port Arthur Historic Site, the Hobart Town Hall, Federation Concert Hall and St David’s Cathedral.
Directors Bruce and Sue Murray say the singers adapted to a different environment at each venue and selected a suitable repertoire for each occasion. “The medley from Les Miserables brought tears to the eye which was in contrast to the gales of laughter which greeted the men in Pretty Women and the group rendition of the James Bond theme.” A varied selection of songs has been chosen for the Waiuku concert with snappy choreography, costume changes and several new artists. The concert will be held on September 14, a week later than usual because of Fathers Day, and begins at 2pm followed by afternoon tea.
Massive plan process begins today Today (Tuesday) sees the next milestone in developing Auckland’s first Unitary Plan with the start of the hearings process. The Hearings Panel will begin the process of hearing submissions on 74 topics. The first session of the hearing programme is a prehearing meeting on matters the Panel sees as outside its jurisdiction. October sees the Panel embarking on the hearings for the regional policy statement (RPS) matters in the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan. The
eight member Panel, under chair Judge David Kirkpatrick, will consider the views of around 9500 submitters and a further 3500 submitters who have responded to the original submissions. Details of the hearing topics and the schedule until February 2015 can be found at: www.aupihp.govt.nz/documents/docs/ aupihpschedule.pdf. The Panel must report back to Auckland Council by July 2016 any changes it thinks should be made.

My heart goes out for the Lost Son at home, he has Father with him all the time, working with him, beside him, on a daily basis, and yet he has absolutely no idea of the amazing life and bountiful blessings right under his nose of having a vibrant relationship with his Heavenly Father. Are you, am I just as blind today, are we Prodigals out in sin, or just lost souls in the Faith, instead of vibrant Christians perfectly reflecting out wonderful Saviour, Jesus Christ. If you are lost, then come home right now, Father is waiting with arms ever open wide to receive you Home; Please come home.

A high tea was held in Pollok on Saturday afternoon for the Ladies Fellowship of the Peninsula. Guest speaker Kathy Millar is pictured above with Julie Williams, who introduced her on behalf of the Ladies Fellowship. Kathy spoke of her trip to the Himalayas, during which the group took sewing machines with them and taught the local ladies to sew.
Several brand new ovens, cooktops, dishwashers and more doors have been found in a second search warrant, each item potentially worth thousands of dollars. Detective Sergeant Warrick Adkin says it appears that the appliances have been stolen from nearly-complete houses soon after they were installed. “A number of these stolen items have simply had the cord cut from the wall and been removed from the house,” he says. “Some were stolen upon delivery and yet to be installed, leaving them in good condition.” Many of the items from Tuesday’s warrant have been returned to builders. Now at least 24 burglaries have been identified and a 32 year old man arrested on Tuesday will face further charges to reflect the additional offences. The man is alleged to have been unlawfully entering construction sites and homes that were near completion. Among items that were targeted were kitchen and bathroom appliances, such as taps and whiteware, as well as builders’ property and tools. Police can confirm that they have identified burglaries that have taken place between Pokeno and Mt Roskill, and some of the stolen property dates back almost 10 years. Police ask that anyone who believes their property might have been recovered please wait for Police to contact them to identify it. Detective Sergeant Adkin once again reminds builders of the importance of marking tools and supplies with a company name or other identifier, and recording serial numbers.

Ombudsman warning after bank takes house sale funds
MATTERS
Capital Gains Tax proposal slammed Nearly half of the respondents on a recent television survey supported a Capital Gains Tax (CGT), something which Andrew King, Executive Officer of the NZ Property Investors’ Federation says is misguided, but hardly surprising given the information presented to them. “Most people believe that rental property owners don’t pay any tax and they are the prime reason for property price increases. But this isn’t true” said Andrew. In addition, most people would believe that a CGT would lower house prices, provide opportunities for other taxes to be reduced and would only apply to speculators. However Andrew says overseas experience of CGT is that it has no effect on house price growth and provides minimal tax revenue. “The CGT would not apply to speculators as their capital gains are already taxed. Inland Revenue has a highly successful property unit tasked with making sure property speculators pay their fair due.” What people are unlikely to know, Andrew says, is that a CGT, as proposed by Labour, would affect all investments except the family home. This means farms, businesses, shares and the like would all have to pay this
tax. He says the consequences of a CGT are also unlikely to be known by many. “The fact is that lack of a CGT lowers the cost of renting. Currently it is $135pw cheaper to rent than own the average New Zealand home. This means there is room for rental prices to rise as the only options to renting are owning your home or moving in with others to keep costs down. In other words, a CGT would mean rising rental prices for most and overcrowding for some. “As a CGT will affect businesses and farms, the cost is likely to be passed onto consumers through higher prices and hinder our overseas competitiveness. “In summary, a CGT won’t reduce property prices and will raise little revenue. It will increase rental and other prices making it harder for first home buyers to save a deposit. If a CGT was the easy solution for everything it would have been implemented years ago. The biggest risk is that when it doesn’t produce the expected revenue, then it will be applied to the family home.” Andrew says if respondents to the survey were actually aware of the consequences, it is unlikely that nearly half of them would want to see it introduced.

Customers wanting to sell one of their properties to release capital should first be clear how much money their bank will let them pocket, said Banking Ombudsman Deborah Battell. Following complaints from people who found their bank didn’t let them keep what they expected to clear from the sale of one of their properties, the Banking Ombudsman Scheme has issued a quick guide on selling property to release capital. The Banking Ombudsman receives complaints for a variety of factors, including early repayment costs and legal fees, but particular problems arise when people own two or more properties that secure one or more loans. “If a customer sells a property which is security for a loan, they usually keep the proceeds after the loan is repaid. “However, this may not necessarily be the
case when a person has an “allobligations” mortgage and a number of loans. “The bank must be satisfied it is left with sufficient security for its remaining property and other loans. This sometimes means the amount owing on remaining loans needs to be reduced with proceeds from the property sale, and this has been a nasty surprise for some customers,” Ms Battell said. For example, the bank can require customers to pay off other debt rather than keep the money if: their financial situation has changed, affecting their ability to make loan repayments; property values have dropped, as happened in the global financial crisis, or the bank’s lending criteria has changed since the loans were obtained, and the lending may no longer meet the bank’s loan-to-value ratio (LVR) requirements.
Case study: Why a bank may keep sale proceeds Mr C borrowed money from the bank to buy two rental properties. His two loans were secured by ‘all obligations’ mortgages over both properties. The properties were worth a total of $560,000 and he owed the bank $450,000 - a total loanto-value ratio (LVR) of 80%. Mr C was later made redundant and had trouble making repayments. Without consulting the bank, Mr C sold a property to repay the $150,000 loan taken out to buy it to free up capital. He sold the property for $260,000 and expected to keep about $110,000 after the $150,000 loan was repaid. However, the bank sent Mr C’s lawyer a settlement statement instructing him to repay $210,000, leaving him with only $50,000.
Call Shayne today for a confidential appointment.
BE IN TO WIN A HOLIDAY FOR TWO
Mr C complained to the banking ombudsman because he was in financial difficulty and had sold the property because he thought he would get $110,000 to repay other debts and cover living expenses. He explained he would not have sold the property to only get $50,000 of the proceeds. The bank required $210,000 to reduce his total lending because it was losing some of its security through the property sale
and it was not satisfied the remaining property was sufficient security for the other loan. To ensure it still had an 80% LVR, (as an example), over the remaining $300,000 property it needed to reduce total lending to $240,000. The banking ombudsman explained that because the bank had an “all obligations” mortgage over the property, it was entitled to do this. It could not, therefore, uphold Mr C’s complaint.
What should I do if I want to sell a property to release capital? If you want to sell a property to free up money for your own use, talk to your bank first so you are fully informed about how much of your borrowing it wants to be repaid. Another point to remember: if a bank requires you to reduce your remaining loans and you have to break a fixed rate loan to do so, you may have to pay an early repayment cost. Waiuku

Aka Aka School trip funded by laughter Prescott Builders book launch A night of comedians at the Waiuku Cosmopolitan Club on Saturday evening saw over $3000 raised towards an overseas trip by local student Jamie Harper, and an equal amount donated to comedian Mike King’s charity ‘Key to Life’. Organised by Vanilla owner Lesley Burgess, the evening was an outstanding success. Left: MC Karl Sutton with comedian Mike King, Sharon and James Harper, and Lesley Burgess on Saturday evening.
The Aka Aka Hall will host a book launch event which will not only promote the second book by local author Sarah O’Neil, it also aims to attract more families and students to the rural school. The book launch, this Friday evening at 6.30pm, presents the book ‘Play in the Garden.’ Originally, Sarah says, she didn’t intend to write a book about gardening for children. “But I thought about it and came up with some ways to get the boys away from the lure of their screens and join me in the garden for a summer of fun. “It is a cute little book, with fabulous illustrations, and jam packed with projects for the whole season. I am so chuffed with it.” The book launch evening this Friday will feature prizes and activities, and all funds raised will be donated to Aka Aka School. It is hoped the launch will also attract new families to the school, which, if it can bring in just a few more students, will be able to fully fund a third teaching position.

Grab a bargain, help a cause on Thursday! Like many local businesses in rural communities throughout Franklin, Waiuku’s Gary Pye’s 100% gets approached many times a week from great local causes looking for sponsorship for events or projects. Most business owners will tell you that it’s tough to balance all the requests, and at the same time look after a local business, but Gary and the team at his appliance and electronics stores have come up with a novel way to let the community decide where the support should go. This Thursday, the store is offering what is billed as a ‘Monster Token Day’ where there is 20% off almost all products, plus a number of other bargains. However, what makes the day unusual is that qualifying purchases will see the buyer handed a token, which they can use to ‘vote’ for a local cause and help that group or organisation raise some funds, or organise some raffle prizes. ‘Let’s have some fun together’ is the motto for the day, which also features a sausage sizzle, some product demonstrations at times throughout the day, and a few special offers which are being kept under wraps until the day actually begins. There will also be special ‘lucky tokens’ which will see the recipients collect additional prizes. While there will be discount offers running throughout the week, the main action will be from 8am to 8pm on Thursday, when the store promises not only 12 hours of fun and savings, but also a chance to get those products you have always wanted, and help out a local cause at the same time.

Be Kind To Your Kidneys
Aachoo! Help for Seasonal Allergies
By Carol Eggleton, N.D., M.H.D., BHSc, Registered Naturopath and Medical Herbalist Over the next few months many people will suffer from the uncomfortable symptoms of seasonal allergies such as hayfever, allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis. These are classical allergic reactions where exposure to the allergen (often pollens) invokes an immediate response mediated by IgE (immunoglobulin E). Symptoms include watery, runny nose, itchy throat, itchy red eyes, sneezing, irritability and fatigue. Other conditions such as asthma and dermatitis may also be evident in allergy prone individuals. Some allergens may be identified by a skin prick test or blood tests. Alleviating the symptoms of allergies is important to the sufferer but we also need to address imbalances in the immune system and other factors that contribute to oversensitivity reactions. Some helpful hints for alleviating seasonal allergies:
Try to identify triggers and then avoid them as much as possible. If you work with or around plants and can’t avoid them try wearing a mask to avoid inhaling allergens. Pollens are more prevalent in the afternoon so do outside tasks in the morning. Shower and change when you have finished outdoor tasks. Some foods may cause cross-reactivity in the allergy prone. These can include: hazelnuts, celery, carrots, parsnip, potato in those allergic to some tree pollens; dairy products and cereal grains such as wheat, barley, rye and oats may be a problem for those with grass allergies. Mucous forming foods - such as dairy, eggs, some grains, sugar, and some starchy vegetables e.g. potato - may exacerbate the symptoms of allergies. Treatment depends upon the individual but generally includes avoidance of allergens and repair and support of immunity and digestion with appropriate products or herbs along side lifestyle and dietary advice Herbal treatments for hay fever could include - anti allergic herbs, immune modulators, anti-catarrhals, decongestants. Essential oils such as eucalyptus, tea tree are great for inhalations. Supplements including Vit C (immune enhancing) and quercitin (anti-inflammatory) are also helpful. Many foods including garlic, onions and horseradish may help allergy sufferers. Homeopathic and herbal products may also be used prior to the hay fever season to reduce reactivity. If you have would like help with seasonal or other allergies call in on Wednesday’s to Way of Life for a chat or phone 09 2387806 to make an appointment for a consultation.
By Yvonne Gloor, CCN, CMTA, PT Did you know that the kidneys are known as the “Minister of Power” and is regarded as the body’s most important reservoir of essential energy? The kidney organ system also includes the adrenal glands, which consists of the adrenal medulla and the cortex. These glands sit like hats on top of the kidneys and secret a wide range of essential hormones that regulate metabolism, excretion, immunity etc. The kidneys, particularly the adrenal glands, are especially vulnerable to damage from excessive stress. Stressors can include
food intolerance, physical or emotional stress. The kidneys are also the seat of courage and willpower. The kidneys themselves are responsible for filtering waste metabolites from the blood and moving them onwards to the bladder for excretion in urine. Along with the large intestine, the kidneys control the balance of fluids in the body. In addition, they regulate the body’s acid-alkaline balance (pH) by selectively filtering out or retaining various minerals. Next time you get painful knees or lower back, think of looking after your kidneys. Depending on each individual constitution you could strengthen you kidneys with nettle tea, specific kidney teas, warming ginger, onions or fennel seeds. Kidney beans, millet, seaweed & spirulina and they are a good source of minerals too. I also have other options to help you strengthening does tired kidneys. Yvonne Gloor, Cert.

WHY OSTEOPATHY? A biased opinion! achieve this state of alignment and balance throughout the body. Osteopaths are ‘body mechanics’.
By Helen Wright BSc(Hons) Ost(UK); CMIOSH (UK); PGDip (Hlth. Erg) (UK) NZ/ACC/UK Registered Osteopath Human Factors and Ergonomics consultant A biased opinion? Naturally. I spent 5 years studying osteopathy and have practiced for too many years to remember so .... of course I’m biased! But bias aside, osteopathy simply just makes sense. The Body is a Unit All our body parts and systems interrelate with each other. No single part exists independent of the ‘whole’. Osteopaths treat the ‘whole’ body from the feet to the cranium and the bits in between. Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated The structure of our body determines how it functions and vice versa. If the body is in its correct alignment and balanced it can function normally and can be considered healthy. Osteopaths aim to
The body possesses self regulatory mechanisms The body via continuous feedback system is capable of controlling the internal environment. Osteopaths aim to ensure that the feedback mechanism is working at its optimum to maintain good health. The body has an inherent ability to defend and repair itself The body has an inherent capacity to heal itself. Osteopaths aim to remove the barriers to healing so that the body can do just that. Movement of body fluids is essential to the maintenance of health When blood and lymphatic fluids flow freely, the tissues of the body can perform their physiological functions without impedance. Microclimates of poor circulation result and are considered to be a significant contributor to the onset of disease. Osteopaths aim to normalize fluid flow. Why wouldn’t I be biased? At Osteopathy Pukekohe we have experienced, qualified osteopaths whose aim is to achieve the above. For more information or if you would like to make an appointment then please call the Way of Life Health Shop. There is currently at least one osteopath practicing from the shop Mon to Sat (inclusive).

HEALTH TIP Sponsored by Megan van Lieshoudt
SLEEP
Getting a good night’s sleep is by far one of the best ways to maintain good health. You can exercise, eat well, be organised etc etc..these all help our health of course, but if you don’t get enough sleep for prolonged periods of time, your health will eventually suffer. Our immune systems without enough sleep is just like our cars without fuel..we just cant function properly without it. Make good sleep a priority and you will definitely feel the benefits... creating healthy sleep patterns can also help to get those much needed zzzz’s. * Avoid sugar, coffee, alcohol and other stimulants before bed. * Soothing soft music can help your nervous system to slow your heart rate, breathing and blood pressure. *For some people, watching TV or reading in bed can stimulate them but for others it may help to induce sleep..everyone is different. *Drinking herbal tea or hot milk are also known to help induce sleep.

What is cervical smear test? A cervical smear test is not a test to look for cancer. It is a screening test to look for abnormal changes in the cervix. Some cells with abnormal changes can develop into cancer if they are not treated. Treatment of abnormal cell is very effective at preventing cancer. Is is normal for cells on the surface of the cervix to go through changes. However, cells can sometimes change in an abnormal way without causing any symptoms. Cervical screening finds abnormal cells so that they can be treated BEFORE they develop into cancer. Abnormal cells in the cervix usually change very slowly. In the early stages, many will disappear
Help prevent cervical cancer Encourage the women you love to have regular smear tests
by themselves, and no treatment will be needed. For a few women, abnormal cells could develop into cervical cancer if not treated. A screening test will not always pick up abnormalities. However, if abnormalities have been missed in one test, it is likely that they will be picked up in the next test. This is why it is important to have cervical smear tests every three years as part of a screening programme. The chances of getting cervical cancer can be reduced by 90%. All women aged 20 and over who have ever been sexually active should have regular smear tests until they turn 70. Book your cervical smear test today with the Nurse at Waiuku Health Centre, or the Marae Clinic Ph: 235 9102 to make an appointment.

Just as Franklin’s fields spring back to life after the long winter months, now’s the time to rejuvenate your skin and your wardrobe after all the cold weather and lead in to the Summer with radiant beauty. Start your ‘get-ready-for-Summer’ treatment with a good exfoliant. By helping to eliminate the layer of dead skin which accumulates on your epidermis and which can give it a dull, pallid appearance, exfoliants will uncover a new layer of fresh, rejuvenated skin. That’s right, it’s not only snakes that have the right to shed their skins once in a while! The new skin revealed by your exfoliant should, however, be well-protected with the application of a moisturising cream. The fresh new days and Spring mornings around our Franklin townships are ideal for a kick-start to updating your wardrobe for the new season. The heavier colours and heavier materials of winter can make way for the bright and breezy colours of Spring - but don’t put that winter coat away just yet - Spring is famous
for its unpredictable weather! Franklin has a range of stunning beauty and fashion stores which can help you with your new look, and it’s a great time to not only refresh your wardrobe, but refresh your own sense of purpose and style. It’s a new start for nature - why not make it a new start for you? And one final tip; protection from UV rays is recommended throughout the year, but it’s even more important to protect yourself against the harmful effects of the sun in the springtime, after your skin has been protected over the long winter months. A good sunscreen is essential when the warmer weather returns. It should also be realized that there is no truth in the myth of a tanning ‘base’. Your skin is always vulnerable to the sun whether you’ve been going to a tanning salon over the winter or not.

A plucky, thrilling, but ultimately unrewarded effort saw the Counties Manukau Steelers fall short in their desire to retain the Ranfurly Shield against another challenger, as they went down 27-21 against the Hawke’s Bay Magpies at ECOLight Stadium in Pukekohe. An exciting game came to a manic end as the Steelers fought their way back to provide hope to their faithful, challenging the Hawke’s Bay line in a series of attacks which continued after the siren had sounded for full time. In those final few moments it looked as though Counties would snatch the win, but dogged defence, including a number of infringements that were eventually to see a Magpie sent to the
bin with just seconds to go, meant Counties’ trophy cabinet was depleted by one of the most famous trophies in New Zealand rugby. Hawke’s Bay opened out with clear intent to run at the Counties defence, with a game plan that seemed to be to attack at all costs. It was an approach which reaped dividends, as, after trading penalty kicks, the black-and-whites sending captain Brendon O’Connor across the line after a rolling maul. Counties regained the lead via a penalty. With the weight of possession and territory firmly in favour of the visitors, the Magpies crossed again as O’Connor grabbed his second try in similar fashion to his first
with another clinical maul close to the line. A long-range try to the visitors, and then another saw the halftime score 20-9 to the challengers, but perhaps more telling, it was three tries to nil. Counties Manukau struck back with a try to loose forward Onosa’i Auva’a before August Pulu grabbed a loose ball from the scrum then dashed away for a try. The Magpies reclaimed the lead with a converted try, and at 27-21 it was all on, but Counties were unable to cross the line to retain the shield. The Steelers now focus on the ITM Cup, and play the Manawatu Turbos at FMG Stadium in Palmerston North next up.
B team thrash Taranaki Perfect weather for dirt track racers
The Counties B representative rugby team continues to impress and, last Sunday, they demolished Taranaki at New Plymouth by 45 points to 12. They led 24-7 at halftime and the star once more was right winger, Sione Fifita who scored two tries, kicked two conversions and a penalty goal in Counties’ six-try win. Other try scorers were Sione Molia, George Crichton, and Andy Muirhead, with a penalty try awarded also, after Counties had demolished the Taranaki scrum, pushing it back 10 metres before it collapsed. Luke Graham also kicked two conversions. Co-coach, John Bell, said on Monday that his side was playing rugby reminiscent of Counties teams of old as they scored tries from all over the ground, some starting from behind their own goal line. “The whole team is playing exceptionally well,” he said. “The forwards were so dominant that the backs were able to go on the rampage. We also blew about 20 points as they became a little over anxious, losing the ball at vital times or having it held up on the line. Nevertheless, it was a good performance and we are now looking forward to playing Northland at Whangarei on Friday.” Players who came in for special mention this week are locks, Troy Abernathy, prop Sione Aiono and the loose forward trio of Josh Allen, Jamie Gilbert Clark, and skipper Sam Henwood.

Once again the weather was perfect for the fifth round of Waiuku Dirt Track Club’s winter sprint series. A great line-up of 25 drivers lined up for what is known as one of the fastest stretch of roads in the series, starting on a small stretch of farm track before heading on to the roads where drivers would have to have use great judgement to enter the 90 degree turn at the end of the road - a couple of drivers pushed the boundaries with Colin Robinson using the bank before the tree to keep his car on the road, showing great skills. Ivan Hill with his supercharged escort knocked Glen Stewart’s chances of a clean sweep in the Open Four Cylinder class with a two second advantage. King Of The Hill went to Wayne Miller over Daniel McPike with this time a convincing four second buffer. The last round is scheduled to be run on September 7, and all going well will be the longest run of the season, using all the roads linked together to give the drivers plenty of road to use.
Myths over concussion Physiotherapy New Zealand says that despite a high media profile there are still misconceptions around concussion in sport. Professor Tony Schneiders, a physiotherapist and sports-medicine researcher says a common myth is that you need to be knocked out to suffer concussion. “In reality only an estimated 10 per cent of concussions actually result in unconsciousness.” “Concussion myths like this need to be debunked so that as many concussions as possible can be identified and managed accordingly.” ACC figures for 2013 show there were more than 5500 claims for sport-related concussion or brain injuries, and Schneiders adds that this is likely to be an under-representation of the true number as many go unidentified or unreported.

ADULTS The racing was brilliant, the track was brutal and the riders were bold at the inaugural Secondary Schools Motocross Championships at Mercer on Sunday, August 24. The Waiuku College team rode superbly to claim second place, pipped by Hauraki Plains College for the title. Although immaculately groomed at the start of the day, the sand track became progressively more difficult for competitors as the day wore on at Mercer, but the sport of motocross has never been a domain of the weak or timid and, right through the grades, riders dug deep to overcome the ruts and holes. This was the first intermediate schools motorcross event that Pukekohe Motorcycle Club has run and it was a great success. About 150 riders and 39 schools were represented, with the local club fielding 16 entrants. Pukekohe are looking at making this an annual event so this gives us the Waiuku College team a goal for next year to claim the title. The next event for the school is the Te Puke Motorcycle Club secondary school motocross event at Pirini Motorcycle Park on September 20. Waiuku’s Dean Collins was one of those who led by example on Sunday, pushing through the pain barrier to clinch top honours in his 16-18 years’ 125cc class. The Yamaha hero took his 2012-model YZ125 to finish 2-1-2 on Sunday, ending the contest two points clear of Te Aroha’s Aaron Manning (who finished 3-2-1). “I was getting some amazing arm pump
(painful forearms caused by lactic acid build-up). I guess I wasn’t as fit as I needed to be,” said Collins, who was racing for Waiuku College. “In race one I had a bad start and, because I was still running in the bike’s engine after a rebuild, I didn’t want to push too hard. I was pretty happy with second place though. “In the next race, I was going well and leading the way and then Aaron Manning caught up to me. But I managed to hold him off over the last few laps and took the win. “I led the last race for a while but them arm pump got the better of me and I slipped back to finish second. “I knew that was good enough to win the day, so I wasn’t too worried about Aaron getting past me.” Collins raced just three of four rounds during the senior 125cc nationals earlier in the year and finished that series 17th overall. “I’m getting a new Yamaha YZ125 soon and I’ll be doing all rounds of the nationals in 2015, so I figure I can really improve my national ranking.” Also impressive on Sunday was World Junior Motocross No.7 Josiah Natzke (Te Kura High School), who was a convincing winner of the 14-15 years’ 250cc four-stroke class. The Hamilton teenager won all three of his races by a large margin. Onewhero Area School’s Jayden Turnwald finished with the title for the 13-15 years’ 125cc class. Other class winners included Waiuku’s Max Simpson in the 13-15 years 125cc novice.
