Business as usual for builder named in latest honours New Zealand’s building industry is celebrating the appointment of industry stalwart, Waiuku’s Graham Coe as an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, announced in the Queen’s Birthday Honours over the weekend. For Graham, it was business as usual as he headed off in his vehicle to view another house that is entered in the House of the Year promotion undertaken by the New Zealand Master Builders Federation. Feeling very humble as he spoke to the Post, Graham said he never expected for a moment that he would ever get this honour. “I was only doing the things that I love, and the honour is really for the industry. It is quite unique for acknowledgements to happen within the building trade,” he said. Registered Master Builders Federation CEO Warwick Quinn was full of praise for Graham who is a life member of both the New Zealand and Auckland Federations. “Graham’s life’s work has contributed significantly to New Zealand as a nation, through his dedication to the betterment of the industry. His leadership within Master Builders and BRANZ has led to sector wide improvement in the standards required and quality delivered by builders to New Zealanders.” Graham has seen many changes in the industry over the years. “Lots of regulations have had to be firmed up, but it has been necessary to work hand in hand with licensed building practitioners to ensure
regulations were meaningful, yet practical to operate with,” he said. “Even now, there are some building inspections that could be relieved with onus for their implementation being on the licensed building practitioner. However, major foundation and framing inspections should continue without question.” “I am an advocate for self regulation of builders in the main; because any problems that arise should be their responsibility to resolve,” Graham said. “We still have bureaucracy from a political point of view, which does add considerably to overall building costs.” Graham recalled that when he started in the industry, the building inspector used to come on a building site once every six months at random, have a look around and have a cup of tea and a chat with them. Now inspections are for every stage of the job. “It is good for the quality control that is expected by the home owner, but still some modification need to be done,” he said. Over his years of work for the Federations his focus has been on creating excellence in construction, along with excellence in regulatory and standards of work of builders. He was instrumental in developing the House of the Year programme, he was chairman of the national judging panel between 2001 and 2010, again in 2012 and this programme has been credited with lifting standards of residential building in New Zealand. He is still working on the judging panel and was off to inspect another house after the
interview with the Post. He has also played a pivotal role in the success of Building and Research New Zealand (BRANZ), as chairman of both BRANZ Group and Brand Ltd from 2007 and 2008 respectively until this year. As chairman of the Master Build Services, Graham helped develop the house guarantee process which has developed into a valuable tool and assurance for home owners. Born in Waiuku, Graham was schooled at Karioitahi and Waiuku District High School. He started in his building career with Waiuku Builders Ltd eight days before his 16th birthday. He worked for the company for eight years, then left for a period of private work which included building four homes in the Hamilton Estate when NZ Steel were developing that housing project. It was during this time that he met Tony Lewer and the two joined forces. They constructed many houses in Tokoroa for PTY Homes who were the forerunners in precut buildings, as well as an enor-
mous pine cone shed over 140m long to be used to dry and process pine seeds for the nearby forestries. When building focus returned to Waiuku, Graham and Tony set up their own company of Coe and Lewer Builders, and three years later were approached by the Buttimore family to take over Waiuku Builders. For 30 years Graham and Tony worked together in their business and in 2000 they retired to pursue different interests. Graham feels the industry in good stead, but is still concerned that some products being used are not fully up to the expected standard as cost considerations are constantly being pushed. “I believe that any product or system used in a weather envelope should achieve the Department of Building and Housing standard that gives a minimum of 15 year guarantee,” he said. Graham is married to Barbara (pictured above), who has supported him along his building career, and together they have two adult children Glenys and Barry and three grandchildren.

She is well known for her support of a smokefree policy at the local Tahuna Marae, which has been auahi kore (smokefree) for almost 20 years. Its smokefree declaration is just one aspect of a comprehensive health policy developed by local iwi Ngati te Ata.

The claim alleged that, by failing to protect the Waikato-Tainui hapu in the use, ownership, and enjoyment of their lands and fisheries, the Crown had not met its Treaty responsibilities. And, further, that Crown policies in regard to discharges and water rights had caused ‘a serious and continuing deterioration in the quality and quantity of seafoods available to the Waikato-Tainui hapu.’ The resulting judgement set a benchmark for environmental is-

Minister speaks on welfare in Waiuku
Great response to cash collection The Waiuku region has made a hefty total of close to 200 kilograms of obsolete coins towards the Lions Club’s project Heads Up for Kids. In the past month alone communities across the country have cleared out drawers and searched their sofas to collectively donate more than two tonnes of cash. “We’re delighted with the results. It goes to show that every little bit can make a big difference,” says Lion Club member and Heads Up for Kids currency processor Roy Peterson. “We are currently processing the coins and banknotes, and estimate the value to be close to $50,000 in legal tender.” Old and foreign currency has been donated from Northland to as far south as In-
Social Development Minister Paula Bennett wowed Waiuku residents last Wednesday with her plans to overhaul New Zealand’s welfare system. Her own life story puts welfare in context. A former recipient of the Domestic Purpose Benefit, Ms Bennett studied at University before commencing work in the public service. She was elected to parliament in 2005 before being appointed Minister in 2008. Ms Bennett’s message of personal responsibility , self-help and hard work won praise from meeting attendee’s. Right: Paula Bennett with the Chairman of the Waiuku branch of the National Party, Mark Davie.
vercargill. Over 600kgs alone has come from Auckland area. “Some of the coins date back to the 1700’s, and we’ve received old 10 shilling notes and currencies that are no longer in circulation. It’s amazing what people have stashed away,” Mr Peterson says. The donations made at various collection points, are collected by project sponsor Fastway Couriers and delivered to the Heads Up for Kids HQ. Once compiled, the cash is processed into dates, types and denominations and then redeemed for legal tender. These funds are then used to support young New Zealanders to attend programmes that help them to build confidence and develop new skills.

Good news at last for dairy farmers After a harsh drought and massive feed costs, dairy farmers needed good news and Fonterra Cooperative Group may have just delivered it. “The forecast farmgate milk price of $7 per kilogram of milk solids (kg/MS) for 2013/14 is going to get a lot of attention,” says Willy Leferink, Federated Farmers Dairy Chairperson. “Boy oh boy did we need some morale raising good news. In plain-English, it means that farmers could get about 0.58 cents per litre for milk they will produce between June and May 2014. “While a $7 kg/MS milkprice forecast sounds amazing, the public deserve to
know this is forecast revenue and revenue is not profit. To get to profit, you need to take off the farm’s working expenses, tax obligations and pay back the bank manager; a big expense being right there. Farmers also know this is a long-range forecast and it is subject to change. What farmers will be relieved to see is certainty around this season’s forecast of $5.80 kg/ MS for milk and the dividend of 32 cents per share. “Dairy farms are the most capital intensive of the pastoral industries and the Ministry for Primary Industries estimated farm working expenses for this season are about $4 kg/MS. That is before a farmer repays the bank
or turns a cent in profit and was well before the drought hit. “One word best describes the back end of the current 2012/13 season and it is ugly. February’s production was less than last year, March’s milk production slid back to 2010 levels while April’s has tumbled off a cliff. “I know farmers running the average herd size who are paying something like $1,000 a day in supplemental feed costs. Some will make losses of hundreds of thousands this season. “If you want to know how ugly drought has been on pastoral agriculture, then the 2013 Budget has put its cost at $1.57 billion.”

10,000 submissions on Auckland plan More than 10,000 Aucklanders have given feedback on the draft Unitary plan, as last week saw the end of the 11-week engagement process. “This is the first time a New Zealand council has taken a district plan to the community before notifying it as a draft. The level of input in recent weeks means the final shape of the plan will stronger,” says Len Brown. “Aucklanders agree that we urgently need more options for affordable homes. And to deliver this we need
a set of planning rules that will help us to manage growth in a balanced way. That is why we need to keep moving the plan forward. “We will work through all of the feedback in the coming weeks, and I’m clear there will be changes to reflect feedback from communities.” Penny Pirrit, manager of regional and local planning, says a team is working its way through the feedback .. “The feedback I have seen is very constructive – people have taken the time to communicate what they support
in the plan, as well as parts they would tweak or change and the reasons why. “Much of the feedback is in depth, covers a number of topics and is a real mix of both local and region-wide points to consider. We hope to have a final feedback total by next Friday.” Those who have provided feedback will be contacted later in the year with information regarding where they can find updates on the feedback council received and the resulting changes to the draft plan. The next steps in the
development of the draft Auckland Unitary Plan are: • Council officers will now summarise all community and stakeholder feedback on the plan by theme and locality • During June and July, workshops will be held with local boards and key stakeholders on specific issues • The final draft plan will then be published and formally notified later this year • The council will then enter a formal consultation period, where Aucklanders will have the opportunity to make formal submissions

When a Waiuku woman wanted to come up with some way to help the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation, her friends and local businesses jumped on board. “I wanted to help raise awareness as my sister has breast cancer and I wanted to do something to help, at least a little bit..,” she said.
Lost, found Waiuku Police have the following items that have been collected in: March - Blue white stripe belonging to Sophie, Massey Park. April - Purple Bike, Queen Street. Silver Scooter, Colombo Road. Scooter, Meachen Tec. Black Scooter, Belguim St. May - Inflatable Dingy, Jenny Lane.
The end result saw 15 friends and family arriving for a pink themed morning tea and games at her home on Friday May 17th, and the breakfast (and associated merriment!) raised $500 cash to donate to NZBCF. “I asked several local businesses to donate prizes for my friends to win by playing fun games all revolving around raising awareness for breast cancer. “We did things like list as many words out of the word “Mammogram”, (one friend got 18 words!) We also had charades, and drawing your own boobs!” The local resident says a huge vote of thanks must go to a number of local businesses for their support, including to the following businesses in Waiuku, Interlude Day Spa, My Hair Room, Vanilla, Sunset Surf & Turf, Smithies Flowers, Kevins

Budget delivers in vital areas The Government’s 2013 Budget covers key aspects that affect everyone in New Zealand, with vital investment in health, education, law and order and of course the economy which underpins our continued growing success as a nation. The Budget, National’s fifth, will set out our path back to surplus - something we’ve promised New Zealanders we would achieve. It also shows the steps we’re taking to help the New Zealand economy grow, by supporting Kiwi businesses to innovate, expand, and hire more staff. We know an important factor in deciding to hire another staff member for many businesses is the confidence they have for the future. Under National’s responsible economic management, we’ve seen business confidence rising, which is great news. This comes off the back of 3 per cent economic growth that New Zealand experienced last year. Under National, New Zealand has the lowest mortgage rates
since 1965. After-tax wages are up 22 per cent, which is more than twice the rate of inflation. And there have been 54,000 net new jobs created over the past two years. We’ve also removed unnecessary regulations and red tape which have been restraining growth. We’ve got a comprehensive programme of investment in important infrastructure, such as the country’s road network, and in connecting New Zealand with the world through ultra-fast broadband. And we are better supporting our families by delivering results from the health system, ensuring every child gets the skills they need at school, and supporting our justice system to keep you safe at home and in your community.

Bruce puts his hat in ring for Mayoralty Sitting in his Glen Murray living room, Waikato mayoral candidate Bruce Cameron and his wife Yvonne are genial hosts. The Cameron family, with 40 years of pedigree in the district, are enthusiastic about the future. “Over the years I have talked, submitted and negotiated with councils. It’s now time to do something, to take a stand, and to offer a positive alternative. That’s why I am putting my hat in the ring, we need leadership for all parts of the district,” Mr Cameron said. For residents across a district that stretches from Aka Aka, Tuakau and Pokeno in the north, to Raglan and Eureka in the south, Bruce’ says his call for inclusive leadership is gathering rapid momentum. “I will bring a new style of leadership to the council table, starting with respecting the views and opinions of all councillors. I want to see more decision-making powers devolved to all community boards throughout the district, and I want to see a line-by-line audit of council expenditure. “Rates have been steadily increasing for years, but people question whether they are receiving value for money. Ratepayers have a right to expect that they will receive value for money. I have a strong view that empowering communities to take responsibility for the allocation of resources in their own community is not only good for democracy, it is also a cost efficient approach to governance,” Mr Cameron said. A farmer who owns a business in Tuakau, Mr Cameron said a flashpoint for him came with the debate over the stock movement bylaw affecting north Waikato farmers in Aka Aka and Onewhero. “Aside from the nonsensical proposal, requiring underpasses on back country lanes at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars, it goes to the philosophy that un-
derpins decision-making. “Waikato District Council must reassess the reach of its regulatory powers. We need to pull back from a ‘regulate at all cost’ mentality and allow our farmers and businesspeople to get on with the job of generating wealth and creating new job opportunities. “I want to be a mayor who cuts red-tape, rather than a mayor who cuts ribbons for a photo opportunity. We have to get the priorities right for our district.” One of Bruce’s priorities for the northern part of the Waikato district is to facilitate development opportunities in Pokeno and Tuakau. “Communities on the
cusp of Auckland will inevitably change. I want our council to adopt a ‘can-do’ attitude whereby we help facilitate change in a way that takes local residents, businesses, and property owners with us. “When Yvonne and I opened our [Profarm] business in Tuakau in 1992, it was a ghost town. Now it is growing, and that trend is set to continue as Auckland advances down towards Pukekohe and beyond. “I want to develop connections and relationships between the two (Auckland and Waikato) councils. I support electrification of rail to Tuakau, and further south is feasible. We need
to ensure that residents in the north of our district enjoy the benefits of adjacent Auckland’s development, as well as improving the quality of our governance and service delivery in Waikato. Part of this also comes back to our community boards, which I have earmarked for a much greater say under my mayoralty. So the community board serving the communities of Onewhero and Tuakau, Huntly and Ngaruawahia can expect to be put to work after October this year,” Mr Cameron said. Yvonne Cameron is clearly proud of her husband’s achievements, and she is his number one fan. “For 34 years I have known Below: Setting a new vision for Waikato: mayoral candidate Bruce Bruce as a great bloke, a great Cameron and his wife Yvonne are committed to challenging the husband and a great father.

But I am sure Bruce will do a fantastic job and I am 100 per cent behind his campaign,” Mrs Cameron said.

College rugby returns with solid win After a couple of weeks off the Waiuku College 1st XV got their season going again with a solid 43 – 0 win over Rosehill College 2nds. This week it was the Waiuku backline that made the difference. They produced some sparkling back play to score six of the team’s seven tries. On many occasions accurate passing through the midfield created space out wide and Waiuku’s outside backs were then quick to capitalise. In the first half tries were scored by both wings, Pale Fa’atiga and Michael Nepia. Centre Sam Furniss and first five Jack Hardie also crossed the line. Hardie converted all four tries and Waiuku went into halftime leading by 28 – 0, with the game firmly under control.
Waiuku made five substitutions at halftime but this did not change the pattern of the game in the second half. Their backline continued to shine with Fa’atiga and Furniss both scoring their second tries of the match. Lock Mateo Peretti loomed up on the end of yet another good passing movement to score the last try of the match and finally notch one up for the forwards. The team are now eagerly awaiting their next match against Manurewa High School this Saturday. The game is at the Waiuku Rugby Club at 1.15pm and is to be the curtain raiser to the premier grade match between Waiuku and Patumahoe. Supporters are encouraged to come along.

After last week’s photo of a tornado crossing the Manukau Harbour, readers contacted the Post to tell us it touched down in the township, sending possessions flying. One reader said: “The tornado touched down briefly at our property in Waiuku throwing a trampoline over the house up to the neighbours up the hill and picking up a large playhouse and bouncing it across the paddock!” Another reader sent a picture of a trampoline which “travelled over - clearing two houses, two lots of power lines through two big palm trees, then over a car to land about 50 metres away on our neighbour’s back fence. It only damaged two panels on the fence and a clothes line on the other side. “My other neighbour saw the tramp flying over the road and said it looked like Wizard of Oz!” Of course these tornados were minor compared to the damage inflicted recently overseas, but if a big disaster was to strike, a local emergency response group is already being set up. As the group says: “If phone, internet etc lines of communication are operational Auckland Civil Defence will assist, but if the scope and size of the disaster is very large, the response will be severely hampered. “It is therefore imperative each household is prepared, and that Waiuku is prepared for a disaster. And if communications are down - well Waiuku as you know is totally isolated. “Hence Waiuku has an Emergency Response Group (ERG) which is currently meeting and writing a plan. To date they have identified four evacuation centres should residents and visitors in the area need a safe facility for a short while. “So what does one do when disaster strikes? “Initially stop, and breathe. “Investigate your surroundings. What help do you need? Ring 111 if necessary. Check your neighbours. “Meanwhile the emergency service will have sprung into action and the ERG will be there to assist the services and community. In order to help yourself everyone should have at least three days supply of food, water, medication plus torches, first aid etc; everything you Phone: 09 235 7835
need for a long weekend at the beach or bush. “Staying in your own home is the best place to be, however should you need to leave, your Evacuation Centres are at the Glenbrook War Memorial Hall, Waiuku Golf, Cosmopolitan and Rugby Clubs. “Remember to bring your supplies and sleeping bag and lock the front door on your way out if possible.

Changes to home insurance policies puts onus on homeowners turn has had implications for the way houses are insured in New Zealand. It was announced last year that most New Zealand insurers were changing their house insurance policies from total replacement to what’s called ‘sum insured’. A sum-insured policy caps the amount that an insurer will have to pay out should your house need to be totally rebuilt following an event such as a fire or earthquake.
Traditional replacement policies guaranteed homes would be rebuilt no matter the cost, but now insurers need to know the maximum amount they will pay out in claims to rebuild New Zealand homes. Your home’s sum insured must be accurate and remain accurate through changes like upgrades and renovations. The onus is on you to understand how much it would cost to completely re-

build your home, including any demolition and removal costs. As with all insurance, it’s a balancing act. A sum that is too low could mean you don’t receive enough to replace your home; if it’s too high you may pay for insurance that you don’t need. Have a look at need2know. org.nz to help work out what it would cost to completely rebuild your home. On this website you will find a calculator, adapted for New Zealand conditions, which can give you an idea of what your home’s sum should be. It pays not to rely on the valuation from your local council, as it won’t account for any improvements you may have made on your home. Instead you can pay to have a professional assessment of your home by a quantity surveyor. If you’re renewing your insurance, you’ll be provided

with a default sum-insured amount. However, it is important that you don’t rely on this figure, as it may not take into account specific features of your home that could have a significant effect on the rebuild cost. Instead, compare the default figure with what you have calculated online. If the figures are similar you may not need to do any more than pay the new premium. If they differ, however, you should talk to your insurance provider. The need2know.org.nz website is a good place to find information on sum insurance. Before you make any decisions it is a good idea to talk to your insurance provider. That way you can be assured you’re protecting your most valuable asset should the worst happen.

“Keep your chimney smoke inside your boundary” - Auckland Council Auckland Council says domestic fire rules means the fire should not create excessive smoke, nor should the smoke cross the property boundary - something of a tricky proposition with Franklin’s gusty winter winds. The Council has issued a release detailing the region’s air pollution, and noting smoke from home fires is the main cause of air pollution in the region during winter. “With the cold weather well and truly upon us, now is the perfect time to consider home heating options with the least detrimental effect on air quality and health,” the release states. “Air pollution is a major risk to our health and general wellbeing and causes around 300 premature deaths in Auckland each year. The social impact of ill-health and deaths in economic terms is estimated to be $1.07 billion per year.” Auckland Council’s Manager of Environmental Strategy and Policy, Ludo Campbell-Reid, advises those of us trying to save our pennies and our environment to make informed decisions now to combat this becoming a bigger issue as our

population rises. “As a first principle, making sure the house is well insulated means less heating is needed. The cleanest heating option is a heat pump as it does not create smoke. If you do use domestic fires then burning dry, untreated wood in a modern ‘low emissions’ burner can reduce its harmful effects. Burning treated wood is prohibited as it releases toxic chemicals into the air such as arsenic. “Indoor fires may look fantastic”, continues Mr CampbellReid, “but they do not heat your home efficiently. In fact, only 15 per cent of the heat generated warms the house. The remaining 85 per cent of the heat goes straight up the chimney.” For further tips and advice on how to burn smarter, visit the Auckland Council website or pick up an ‘Enjoy the heat, not the smoke’ leaflet, available in all Auckland Council libraries and service centres. Council’s Ecodesign Advisors can also assist with making decisions to make sure you have a warmer, drier house and can be contacted on 09 301 0101.
Pukeoware School very proud of successes A former Pukeoware Student has been named Top in New Zealand, while Deputy Principal Sharyn DeJonge has recently graduated with her Masters degree in education. Last year at the Pukeoware School prizegiving, the children had three amazing guest speakers. Abigail and Elizabeth North and Erin Bindon entertained the children and parents as well as presented awards. The three were former Pukeoware Students and daughters of Mrs North and Mrs Bindon, who work at the school. When the Pukeoware children were told of Abigail’s success last week, they were inspired to try their best, as dreams do come true. Last week, Abigail was invited to travel to Government in Wellington to receive a Top Of Subject Award in Geography from the Governor General, Lt Gen Rt Hon Sir Jerry Mateparae. This means that Abigail was the highest achieving student in New Zealand at Scholarship level. New Zealand Scholarship Provides recognition and monetary reward to the top students in their final year of Schooling in Year 13. The Scholarship exams enable candidates to be assessed against the highest standards and are demanding for the most able scholars in
Flu Vaccines The Flu season has arrived. It is not too late to have your vaccine.
Council says research shows that 11 tonnes of wood smoke particles from household fires are released into the atmosphere every winter’s day and that this represents approximately 72 per cent of all the air polluting emissions. Rules for domestic fires in Auckland: A domestic fire must be operated without causing an excessive amount of smoke, nor have the smoke cross the property boundary. Only dry, untreated wood must be used. It is prohibited to use the fireplace inside your home to burn rubbish. Installing a new or second-hand wood burner: • Must comply with the NES and ACRP: ALW rules. • A list of compliant wood burners is available from MfE’s website www.mfe.govt.nz. • The type of domestic fire you can install depends on the size or your section/property and which air quality management area your property is in. Full details of the rules and policies affecting air quality, outdoor and domestic wood burning can be found on the Auckland Council website.
each subject. Scholarship candidates are expected to demonstrate high-level critical thinking, abstraction and generalisation, and to integrate, synthesise and apply knowledge, skills, understanding and ideas to complex situations. As well as receiving her Top Subject Scholars Award she received an Outstanding Scholarship award which she gained for obtaining three Outstanding Scholarships in Biology, Statistics and Geography and a Scholarship in Physics. In the same week Abigail was also awarded the Trust
Board Scholarship Award as the Top Scholar for 2012, by Hon. Steven Joyce at St Cuthbert’s College Scholars Assembly. Whilst at Pukeoware School, Abigail, Elizabeth and Erin were willing to have a go at everything. Tina North, the very proud mother of Abigail and Elizabeth says, “A start in a good primary school, with enthusiastic teachers who encourage you to work hard and take advantage of all that is offered to you really pays off.” Pukeoware School is also extremely proud of their Deputy Principal, Sharyn
DeJonge, who recently Graduated with a Masters Degree in Education. All of the effort resulted with an “A” in her thesis which focussed on Science Literacy. “Sharyn has had a marked impact on her class this year as well as the entire school,” says Principal Eamonn Kelly.

Chris Dear Panelbeaters
Waiuku’s horse hard at work
One of the staff at Chris Dear Panelbeaters, Bill Hol, is the owner of the iconic Waiuku horse, and last week ‘Charlie White’ as it is known, was hard at work welding in the workshop!
Chris Dear Panelbeaters celebrates two years The move to Kitchener Road premises (behind Beaurepaires) a year ago has seen business continue to expand for local panelbeater Chris Dear. Chris Dear Panelbeaters Ltd has been in operation since May 2011, but in less than a year had already outgrown its original premises and expanded into a bigger, brighter workshop, catering for all aspects of the trade. In Chris’s first 12 months in business, the operation grew from self employed to a staff of three tradesmen, a part-time office administrator and a part-time after school workshop assistant. In the past twelve months, the busy workshop has grown to include four staff on the workshop floor and an increasing amount of out-of-town work. The business also now has two loan cars available for clients, keeping pace with the increasing workload. Chris says the work isn’t as seasonal as people may expect, and adds that winter doesn’t necessarily mean more accidents, although people should still take extra care. Tougher warrant of fitness regulations in recent years has seen an increased demand for panelbeating work and rust removal to comply with standards. As Chris adds, the larger workshop at 15 Kitchener Road enables easier workshop access for larger vehicles such as trucks, motor homes, horse trucks and the like, and offers plenty of off street parking, with a tranquil outlook over Lions Lake. Chris has been in the panelbeating industry since he commenced his ap-
prenticeship in 1997. He had been doing work experience for Richard Kennedy Panel Repairs and showed potential as a promising panel beater. Since completing his apprenticeship he has worked in the Franklin area in several panel shops learning a variety of skills in all aspects of the panel beating trade. Two years ago he felt the time was right to begin his own business and have the chance to offer the local community his expertise. Chris at an early age showed an interest in the motor trade by becoming a member of the Waiuku Dirt Track Club; and although he has stopped racing personally, he still keeps an interest in the sport by sponsoring a couple of race cars. The qualified staff at Chris Dear Panelbeaters offer services including chassis straightening, all insurance work, windscreen replacement, and a variety of vehicle repairs on all forms of vehicles. Restoration work is something Chris is well-known for, along with rust proofing and WOF and COF rust repairs. As well as the two free loan car for clients, salvage and towing can be arranged if required. Chris Dear Panelbeaters Ltd looks forward to being able to continue to offer an excellent service for all panelbeating requirements, in its modern, fully equipped workshop. “We would like to thank the local and wider community for the support over the past two years and look forward to be able to continue our working relationships,” Chris says.

Collecting stamps with a mission “Well no one has offered to take it on, so I just keep going,” said Doris very protectively. Any business that would like to save stamped envelopes for Doris and Owen to collect please email bill@thepostnewspaper. co.nz with your contact details and they will be passed on. So far this year, the stamp project has raised over $500 for the Methodist Missions.
Kiwi sands make CNN’s top 100
Husband and wife team of Owen and Doris Reeve are stamp collectors — but with a difference. They collect stamps that they process and sell on behalf of the Southern Auckland Methodist congregations to fund their missionary programme. Every week Owen makes a trip to Bunnings in Pukekohe to collect their used business envelopes with stamps on. At home Doris trims and sorts the stamps into several categories — overseas origins, Christmas, New Zealand and Pacific islands and are sold to a stamp dealer who pays for them by the kilogram. The waste envelopes are then recycled to the Scouts’ paper chase. This process has been in Doris’ family for generations. Her mother started collecting stamps when she lived in Christchurch, later moving to Pukekohe and Doris’ sister also collected stamps around Auckland. Doris can certainly be classed as a Franklin volunteer and good sort. Each Saturday she helps man the Pukekohe Youth Centre vegetable stall at the open air market, she takes her turn with Owen on the community patrol, she volunteers at Hospice and has been secretary of the Rural Women’s group since 1979.
Saturday’s N.Z. Herald reports that American television network CNN has listed north Auckland’s Karekare beach on a list of the world’s best beaches. CNN noted the beach was “immortalized” in Jane Campion’s 1993 movie “The Piano”. Bill says: “Being as parochial as I am, can we compare Karekare to the majesty of Karioitahi and what’s more when you consider that the Waiuku Museum Maritime Section’s whaler James Walton was used to bring the piano to the beach, don’t you think that our beach should be included on that CNN list?” Email bill@thepostnewspaper.co.nz
Retirement For over 35 years, deputy principal Anslie Ranson has been part of Waiuku College. At the end of term two, Anslie will retire. At that time, a special function will be held to farewell the stalwart. Bill says: “I have thought of all of the teachers to have worked at Waiuku College in its 53 years, and I don’t believe that there is any other teacher that can surpass this achievement. Well done Ainslie, you are our hero — you have done your role at the college well. Best wishes.”

Many people I spoke to last week remember the visit of their Royal Highnesses Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh when they visited Pukekohe during their 1953 visit to New Zealand. School children were marshaled and districts made banners and the people of the district came in droves to welcome the young monarch. This photo shows Queen Elizabeth signing the visitors’ book for the Mayor of Pukekohe Mr S. C. Childs. The Lady in Waiting is the Duke of Edinburgh’s first cousin Lady Pamela Mountbatten, who just before this photograph was taken misjudged the Queen handing her the bouquet and it fell onto the dias. This can be seen in the YouTube clip of the visit to Pukekohe http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=L5TkMsbpsjg&feature=youtu.be&t=1m21s The date was December 30 1953, just one day before the tragic Tangiwai rail disaster, which the new Queen felt the emotional effects of. I wonder if the visitor’s book that the Queen signed is still around, and who was the young girl who presented the Queen with her “Pukekohe” bouquet? Email bill@thepostnewspaper.co.nz
Bombay student’s art wins prize of a day with the Navy Bombay School student Lily Webber has won a day with the Navy as third prize in Operation Anzac Spirit, a poster competition run by the New Zealand Defence Force as part of Anzac Day. Lily’s poster was one of around 400 entries in Operation Anzac Spirit, a competition for Year 7 and 8 students which asked them to submit a poster showing what Anzac Day means to them. Both of Lily’s grandfathers fought in WWII, and were the inspiration behind her pastel drawing of a young soldier. The competition was judged by NZ Defence Force Artist Captain Matt Gauldie, who said judging the competition was extremely difficult as the entries were of such a high standard. “Lily’s chalk pastel portrait of an ANZAC soldier showed a high level of technical skill in drawing. “Chalk pastel as a medium is renowned for its difficulty to control”, Captain Gauldie said. Lily said she was “amazed and excited” when she heard she had won third prize in the Operation Anzac Spirit art competition,

she is also very excited about her day with the Navy. The three top winners were presented with their prizes by Vice Chief of Defence Force, Major General Tim Keating at a prize-giving ceremony at Defence House in Wellington. Major General Keating said that the Defence Force has been running an art competition for students since 2007 to encourage students to learn about Anzac Day and its connection to the Defence Force today. First place winner, 11 year old Sam Sutcliffe, of Kerikeri will spend a day with the Army as his prize. Second place winner, 11 year old Jaimie Hawley of Christchurch will spend a day with the Air Force. Four runners up will receive a NZ Defence Force prize pack: David Frear, 10, of Northland, Graeson McLellan, 11, of Opotiki, Esther Chung, 12, of Christchurch and Ella Hume, 12, of Masterton.

Good attendances for local history weekend
Good attendances of members of the NZ Genealogical Society to Pukekohe resulted over the weekend for the society’s AGM on Saturday and members of the public to their Showcasing Franklin day on Sunday. Members of the local chapter created a unique weekend which included invitations to “Franklin’s Living Treasures”, folk over the age of 70 who have memories of Franklin in days gone by. A big line up of speakers and workshops were included on the programme on Saturday, and continued on Sunday along with the Showcasing Franklin programme, with speakers focused on what genealogical and historical attributes Franklin had to offer. Highlight of the day was a presentation by Mr Bruce Ringer, Research and Historical Librarian for Auckland Libraries, entitled “Footprints in Franklin”. Bruce shoed a number of photographs complied from collections in Libraries, Museums, societies and privately owned that depicted Franklin in the past. He is keen to gather more information and photos from anyone who has historical, sporting, family or interesting information. “Yesterday is history,” said Bruce, “So any photos of recent times are needed as well so we can build an ongoing story of the area.” After Bruce’s presentation invited Living Treasure folk shared afternoon tea and their memories. Above: Guest speakers at the Showcasing Franklin presentation on Sunday focused on the genealogical and historical aspects of the area.

Libraries under pressure from budget planning The Library and Information Association of New Zealand Aotearoa (LIANZA) is challenging local authorities to think about the longterm future of their communities before cutting library budgets. Libraries are under intense financial pressure due to on-going budget cuts, with news of restructuring, decreases in opening hours, and staff losses increasingly commonplace in the news. While the Better Local Government reforms emphasise efficiency and financial prudence, that must be balanced with long-term thought about the role and function of libraries in their communities, particularly in view of the move to the online environment in so many dayto-day activities. LIANZA President Heather Lamond says “we understand that reviews are necessary and a part of life, however, we urge Councils to think hard about the long-term implications for their communities of reducing library budgets and staff”. “The value of public libraries must not be underestimated; they are a major asset to the community with studies showing that
Web: www.thepostnewspaper.co.nz
for every dollar spent on library services, the community receives up to four dollars in benefit”. “They remain at the heart of our urban and regional communities. “Public library usage in New Zealand has increased steadily over the past ten years and nearly half of all New Zealanders are registered library members”. The Kiwis Count survey, carried out by the State Services Commission in 2012, showed New Zealanders were visiting public libraries more often and rated their service higher than any other public service. “In this digital age libraries are constantly evolving in order to provide the latest technologies but also to provide much needed access to Government services, job seeking assistance and basic digital literacy skills. “Budget cuts mean many libraries are already struggling to deliver quality services to their communities. “For many libraries, there is simply nothing left to cut,” Heather said. LIANZA urges rate payers and constituents to voice their concerns about the erosion of library budgets and services to their local councillors and Mayor.

The Common Cold
Acupuncture and Arthritis
By Sam North TCM Acupuncturist, ACC Treatment Provider, NZASA Registered, BHSc (Acupuncture) When we think of arthritis most of us will think of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, but in fact there are over 100 different types of arthritis and they can affect people of all ages. Osteo and Rheumatoid arthritis are the most common however and although the causes are different they both cause chronic joint pain which can be severely limiting and distressing to sufferers Chinese acupuncture can be a very effective treatment to relieve this pain. In Chinese medicine theory arthritis is due to a blockage in the flow of Qi and this blockage causes the local pain. With any disease in Chinese medicine we classify it by syndrome or type which helps us to identify the cause and therefore the treatment plan. A blockage of Qi in ar-
thritis is definite and called “Bi” syndrome, we also may identify other factors such as dampness/ cold/heat/wind or a combination of these that are causing the condition. Think of a damp house – things are sticky and swollen, making movement difficult (e.g a wooden window frame that has swollen and sticks), this is what happens in a joint it becomes swollen and difficult to move, the circulation is poor and wearing of the joint occurs unevenly due to poor movement range. Add in a factor such as cold and this causes further contraction, reducing movement and circulation and increasing pain, which may be relieved by heat and is worse in winter. Alternatively heat combined with dampness may produce even more swelling and inflammation (the joint may look red and be warm/hot to touch). “Wind” often combines with any other factor and is said to be present when the pain moves around the body from joint to joint and comes and goes with no real pattern. Once we have decided on the diagnosis or syndrome type for your arthritis a selection of points and treatment techniques will be chosen to expel any of the factors present (wind etc) and promote the smooth circulation of Qi in order to relieve pain. Lifestyle advice (exercise, diet etc appropriate to the patient) will also be given to help reduce symptoms and prevent aggravation of the disease. Acupuncture easily fits in with other types of treatments and medications.
By Diane Breen DipHom NZCH (Intern) Not “the flu” but a cold – usually a viral infection that causes inflammation of the mucus membranes that line the nose, a watery discharge and sometimes a moderate fever. If your immune system is low the infection may spread to sinuses, ears, throat or lungs. If you or your children suffer recurrent colds then a professional Homeopathic consult to find the specific remedy for you is advised. Below are some remedies to use acutely that may help with the symptoms of a cold. • Cold comes on suddenly, especially after exposure to cold, dry wind, sneezing, burning throat, restlessness, symptoms worse at night – best use in the first 24 hours of feeling
a cold coming on – Aconite • Cold comes on suddenly, with a high temperature, skin dry, hot, and burning, light hurts eyes, sore throat worse on right side, tickly cough, person very thirsty – Belladonna • Cold comes on more slowly, mild fever only, person prone to nosebleeds - Ferrum phos • Cold rather like ‘flu’, person feels sluggish and shivery, limbs chilly, aching, and heavy – Gelsemium • Cold in early stages, sneezing worse in morning, catarrh like raw egg white, blocked nose, cold sores, person rejects sympathy and wants to be left alone Natrum mur • Sweating, excessive salivation, sneezing, catarrh thick and yellowish-green, bad breath – Mercurius • Profuse catarrh which causes burning sensation in eyes, eyes streaming, worse at night – Euphrasia • Eyes streaming, discharge from nose burns upper lip, person feels better in fresh air - Allium To date there is no “cure” for a common cold – perhaps this is because sometimes a good cold is a way for the body to slow down, have a rest, a bit of a detox and generally clean out the system.
OSTEOPATHY - Restoring tissues to optimum health after a cough or cold unlikely that the tissues can be restored to optimum health without some assistance.
By Helen Wright BSc(Hons) Ost(UK);CMIOSH (UK);PGDip (Hlth.Erg)(UK) NZ/ACC/UK Registered Osteopath Human Factors and Ergonomics consultant An increasing number of patients present to my clinic after a cough or cold with reduced energy levels and a general feeling of continuing poor health. Osteopathy can offer assistance by restoring full mobility and function to areas of the body affected by infection, intense coughing, sneezing etc. and restoring tissues to optimum health. Osteopaths recognize that the functions of the human body are inherently linked and can affect each other and that when we suffer from ill health, whether it be a simple cough or a raging infection, various parts of the body are likely to be affected to the detriment of our tissues. Unless the structure of the body is restored to normal then it is
If we take the coughing as an example. A persistent cough can strain the ribs and the diaphragm affecting breathing mechanics and spinal mobility putting undue strain on the muscles and soft tissues and impairing the circulation leading to poor tissue health. Even after the cough has resolved the sequence of effects it had on the body might still remain and it’s not until these other issues are resolved that optimum tissue health can be fully restored. With this in mind, an osteopathic treatment at Osteopathy Pukekohe will gently work with the body’s structure to restore tissues to their optimum health. This will include removing the barriers or dysfunctions that affect joint, rib and/or spinal mobility, impede normal breathing mechanics and/ or impede the circulation to enable tissues to receive the necessary oxygen and nutrients necessary for optimum tissue health. For more information, or to book an appointment, please ring the Way of Life Health Shop. There is currently an osteopath practising from the shop Mondays to Saturday inclusive (shop hours).
Krill Oil Why it’s not just another fish oil! What is Krill Oil?
Krill oil, like fish oil, contains Omega -3 fats such as eicosapentanoic acide(EPA) and docosahexanoic acid(DHA). However, in fish oil, these Omega-3 fats are found in the triglyceride form. In krill oil, they are found in a double chain phospholipid structure, the same form as the fats in human cell walls. Krill oil also contains vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin D and astaxanthin, which is a potent anti- oxidant.

Diabetes is a disease where your body cannot control its blood sugar levels. There are over 200,000 people in New Zealand who have been diagnosed with diabetes (mostly type 2). It is thought there are another 100,000 people who have it but don’t know.Long term high blood sugar levels will damage organs and blood vessels. Diabetes is most common among Maori and Pacific Islanders and they’re three times as likely to get it as other New Zealanders.The number of people with both types of diabetes is rising – especially obesity-related type 2 diabetes. During June call in to the Health Centre and have a look at our “fat and sugar kit” on the wall. This display shows the fat and sugar contents in a range of commonly consumed products. For instance did you know that a can of fizzy drink contains 8 teaspoons of sugar? Have a free random blood sugar test during June – enquire at reception. If you are a diabetic make this the time to think about an annual review with your doctor or nurse.

12-0 win for Under-17s The Post’s A to Z of business in Franklin. Phone 09 235 7835 to get in on the action
BABIES
The Waiuku Soccer 17th Grade played against The Fencibles on Saturday 1st June at Massey Park in Waiuku. The photograph was taken of the team at half time when they were up 6-0. Their coach Bryan Pipe was very pleased with the final result of a 12-0 win.
Jackets for Tornados Waiuku’s 10th grade soccer team, the Tornados, were last week yet to achieve a win, but still display outstanding commitment and desire on the pitch. Now, thanks to Professionals Realty Waiuku, the team has been kitted out with sideline jackets to keep warm over the winter season, and they say a win is just around the corner! Left to right are Jacob Holland, Kaegen Just and Fabien Abbott.
Grand opening for historic room Two special events at the Waiuku Rugby club will mark the creation of a photo montage of the club’s history over the years. The scoreboard room has been thoroughly renovated and now features thousands of images of players and supporters of the club over the past few decades. Anyone who has contributed $50 toward the project (and there is still time for others to donate), will go into a 15-jersey draw at the club on Friday June 7 to have naming rights to one of the jerseys displayed from all round the world. Then, on Sunday June 16, from 2pm, contributors can attend the Grand Opening, where a Waiuku Club Jacket will be drawn as a prize. For further information on supporting the room or attending the events, contact Brian Palmer on 021 421 840 or Dick Sheehan on 235 9844 or see this week’s Post Classifieds.
Under 14 rugby grabs a win Waiuku College’s U14 Rugby played against Ardmore Marist at Bruce Pulman Park on Saturday 1st June.

On Saturday the College team triumphed again, the final score being 24-19 to Waiuku. Photos: Shelly Cassidy

Prem rugby sees close matches as teams eye finals spots The Counties Power Club Rugby competition had some close encounters again this weekend as the business end of the season approaches. Patumahoe had something to celebrate when Jimmy Tupou became Crusader no. 171 after making his debut on Friday night, however they couldn’t keep the good news coming, going down to Bombay 38-21. Bombay had more desire than Patumahoe which was evident from the kick off. Penalties were traded at the beginning with Bombay slotting the extra one to get an early lead. Bombay scored a converted try out wide from a good ruck turn over to Manase Lelenoa and his team mate Reece Joyce added another two penalties. Sean Reidy slotted a penalty just on half time closing the visitors lead to 19-9. Bombay scored a converted try to Tony Pulu who dotted down out wide after good build up work. Patumahoe’s winger Vern Comley scored a handy opportunist try after gathering a kick through ball. Patumahoe were hard on attack when Bombay turned over the ball and ran over 55 metres for Sepuloni Taufa to cross the chalk under the bar. Patumahoe hit back with a
good pick and go try to prop Henry Tapaevalu which was converted by Reidy. Bombay had the final say with a try to Tony Pulu showing his pace to out class the Patumahoe defenders and close the game at 38-21. Patumahoe’s player of the day was Henry Tapaevalu and Bombay’s Tony Pulu was consistently very classy. As expected it was a forward dominated encounter on the hill. Onewhero started with a penalty to Nathan Langsford which was backed up by a converted try to prop Sean Bagshaw after a strong run from Courtney Roberts. Waiuku came back with two penalties to Tom Halse. Halse added another three points and Langsford replied in the tricky kicking conditions taking the half time score to 13-9 to the hosts. In the second spell, penalties were traded again before Waiuku’s Lucky Palamo scored following a strong forward drive, giving Waiuku a 17-16 lead for the first time in the match. Onewhero counter acted immediately with a charge down and thirty metre run to No 8 Christoper Pongi. Langsford was able to keep the ball in behind Waiuku in the last quarter to hold on for the 21-17 win. Onewhero’s Player of the Day was No 8 Chris Pongi
and Waiuku’s was their lock Tony Misa. The Counties Power Game of the Week was a great battle with Karaka edging out a spirited Manurewa side 1817. Karaka’s fullback Josh Rowland dotted down first out wide, off the back of a ruck in the tightly contest match. Manurewa took a quick tap which caught Karaka napping and Mark Selwyn dotted down under the posts which was converted by Mark Talaese. Karaka’s hooker, Tevita Vaipulu was the next on the score board with a team try which saw the ball spread side to side for Vaipulu to crash over out wide which was converted by Kalione Hala and ended the first half 12-7 in Karaka’s favour. Karaka had the majority of possession in the first half but Manurewa turned the tide in the second with the wind. Manurewa levelled the scored with a try to Teisam Faimasasa. Hala slotted a penalty to give Karaka the lead but Manurewa took it back after another quick tap and impressive individual try by halfback Mark Talaese. Karaka had the final say with another penalty to Hala to finish the game at 18-17. The PGG Wrightson Player

Big effort against top-three contender Waiuku AFC travelled to Mangere United on Saturday, to play a team that is sitting in the top three and pushing for promotion. Waiuku made one change to the team that drew with Claudelands last week with Elliot Crean coming in to the team at centre back. Mangere boasted Ernesto Lopez and Mario Hoffman who between them had already scored 22 goals this season so far. Waiuku had to be focused to gain a result in this one. A professional player in Chile, Lopez showed his skills early and took on the Waiuku defence however some last ditch defending kept him at bay. Hoffman nearly gave Mangere the lead when Waiuku goalkeeper Burke parried a well hit shot into his path but Burke managed to scramble across and Hoffmans effort hit the post. Waiuku started to get into the game after this and Cody Ralph and Chris Abbott started to strut their stuff. Waiuku took the lead when Abbott took on his defender on the right and his low cross was turned into the net by Ralph at the far post. However Mangere equalised moments later. Waiuku did not clear a corner and the ball fell to defender Salesh Kumar on the edge of the box who hit a sweet shot into the goal. Waiuku and Mangere traded blows after this with neither team finding the back of the net. Mangere started the second half strongly and put a lot of pressure on the Waiuku defence. However Waiuku showed a big im-
provement with their defensive effort and cut down the space quickly leaving Mangere with some long range efforts. This was proven when Lopez was substituted on the 60th minute mark. Dom Winter came on for Tyler Lord and nearly scored from the left but the Mangere keeper did well to tip it over the bar. With time winding down the game went from end to end and Mangere started to push people forward looking for the winner. Waiuku nearly got the winner with five minutes remaining. Winter and Darren Woolnough linked on the left and Woolnough’s superb cross was met by Ralph at the far post. However Ralph sent his header over the bar from six yards out. Then in the next attack, Mangere found their winner. Scott Petersen failed to cut a ball out on the right and James Hoyt drove into the empty space. His cross was met by Aaron Bawdekar who’s shot took a cruel deflection off Crean and ended up in the back of the net. Coach Jim Evans was proud of his players “Mangere have spent thousands of dollars building a team for promotion but we came here today and showed that this game is not all about money. “The team played with a lot of passion and heart today and whilst it is hard to lose to a goal at the death, we can certainly take a lot of positives from this display. Elliot Crean gets man of the match today.”

Pukekohe student wins Agcarm scholarship Watching plants grow is not everyone’s idea of a good time. But tell that to Pukekohe-based student, Ryan Ward, who has just won a $2,500 horticultural scholarship from Agcarm. The 20-year-old bachelor of agricultural science student at Massey University says winning the award means “that there are people out there that care for us horticulturalists”. Ryan intends to spend his winnings on living expenses, study resources and travel. His passion for horticulture developed while at Pukekohe High School studying rural studies, and working at PGG Wrightson as well as assisting senior agronomist at Balle Bros also in Pukekohe. Ryan says that it is important for organisations such as Agcarm to support horticulture at a tertiary level, as it encourages people to get involved with the industry. “With the increase in diseases, pests and weeds, horticulture has to undergo change to be able to keep producing at the most sustainable level,” says Ryan. Working in the great outdoors of horticulture is where Ryan plans to be when he finishes his studies next year. When Ryan hasn’t got his head in a text book, he enjoys spending time with family and friends and working on his car. Agcarm chief executive, Graeme Peters, said the association is pleased to contribute toward the future of such an enthusiastic and hard-working student. “Ryan’s application was of a very high calibre. We were extremely impressed with the passion he showed for horticulture,” Mr Peters said. Agcarm is an industry association of companies which manufacture, distribute and sell products that keep animals healthy and crops thriving. Initiatives led by Agcarm include providing safe and sustainable animal health and crop protection technology for the future of New Zealand, and educating the community about the industry’s contribution.
Future stars captured through the lens Local Camera Club member and photographic enthusiast Jennifer Foy captured these stunning images of age-grade rugby on the weekend.
