The Waiuku Volunteer Fire Brigade has been sent a proposal from the NZFS Area Commander Larry Cocker to discontinue the town’s siren after a complaint from a resident. The proposal is that the 7.30am test siren be discontinued, and that the siren be turned off between 7pm and 7am each night. Area Commander Cocker said this arose from a complaint within the last fortnight by one person, who had stated the siren was adversely affecting the health of her family. He added that not having the siren would not affect the ability of the brigade to do its job, that many other areas of the country do not have a siren, that there are some cost implications in maintaining the siren, and that Pukekohe has its siren turned off during the night. He also questioned whether retaining the siren because it was a traditional part of Waiuku would take precedence over health issues for a resident. However, he said the decision was not set in stone, and he had asked the local brigade for their views. Subsequently, the Post has spoken with Chief Fire Officer Colin Riddle, who said he would discuss the issue with his brigade, taking into account feedback, and reply to the Area Commander. This issue has generated an incredible amount of comment within the community and the Post Newspaper received literally hundreds of comments from our facebook posts on the subject, which reached over 16,000 people. We asked, of four main possible outcomes which would you prefer? 1: Retain the status quo with no change.

Comments on the Post facebook page this week regarding possible options for changes to the Waiuku fire siren after a complaint:
1
1: Retain the status quo, no change. 2: Retain the morning test siren, but no siren between 7pm and 7am 3: Halt the morning siren and also have no siren at night 4: Discontinue the siren completely

2: Retain the morning test siren, but no siren between 7pm and 7am 3: Halt the morning siren and also have no siren during 7pm and 7am 4: Discontinue the siren completely. Overwhelmingly, it was to retain the siren as it stands, people saying it was not only traditional, but that it gave a sense of comfort for locals who had called for help, that it warned them firemen were on the way to the station, and also that it reminded them to be grateful for the work our volunteers do. A decision is expected to be made by the end of the month. What do you think?
Meeting likely over plan change Franklin Local Board Chairman Andy Baker says local residents concerned over the impact of a proposed zoning change from Large Lot to Single House Zone should contact the Local Board Office on 237-1300 to register their interest in a meeting with council over the issue. If there is sufficient interest, it seems likely a meeting will be held in the next week or so. Last week’s Post highlighted that over 500 local properties were affected over a council submission to change the zoning in their properties in the Unitary Plan. Residents had been told conflicting information by council staff, and concerns had been raised that the plan change, if implemented, could mean grazing cattle or sheep would be a non-complying activity, that rates could rise, and that lifestyle blocks would be subdivided into 600m2 or more sections. Andy Baker says, while the planned changes are to allow for increased subdivision and higher density housing in the area, existing use will be protected. He said questions over having to apply for a certificate from council to prove existing use would probably only come up if a prospective purchaser wanted to confirm usage. However, the
changes could mean that people who have purchased rural residential sections could see neighbouring properties converted into subdivisions, something they did not intend when they purchased in those areas. Andy Baker encourages people affected to make a submission to the Unitary Plan, but those submissions must be in by July 22. No new points can be raised in further submissions – it has to relate to a point raised in one of the original submissions, and submissions need to be made using the official form. The form can be found on council’s website on the further submission form page, or at any Auckland Council library, service centre or local board office. As well as specifying the submission referred to, you must state whether you support or oppose it and clearly outline the reasons why, and must also send a copy of your further submission to the original submitter. If you feel you are affected by this issue and wish to attend a meeting, contact the Local Board office on 237-1300 and ask for Lynn Birch. • The Post will update further information on submissions and any meeting on our facebook page www.facebook.com/districtpost.

Lost dog? Long trip
Changes to the management of the Pukekohe Animal Shelter means Auckland’s Franklin dog owners will have to travel to Manukau to be reunited with their pet. Auckland Council yesterday afternoon issued a media statement advising that the Auckland Council Animal Shelter at Manukau cares for all lost, stray or impounded dogs in the Franklin, Papakura and Manukau areas. Waikato District Council has taken on the management of Pukekohe Dog Pound after the former contractor of the Auckland Council-owned facility ended its contract in 2013. “For dog owners on the Franklin/Waikato border, if your dog is registered with the Waikato District Council, it can be found at the Pukekohe shelter,” Council said. The Post clarified this with Auckland Council and had it confirmed. If you live in the Auckland part of Waiuku or Pukekohe, your dog will be taken to Manukau. If you live in the Waikato, it will go to Pukekohe. Or, to put it another way, an Awhitu resident has a 150km round trip to collect their lost dog, passing the Pukekohe shelter on the way. Potentially, it looks as though a dog could be collected in Pukekohe and then taken 35km out of town to await collection, while a councilowned facility is in the township. The Manukau shelter is at 33 McLaughlins Road, Wiri. It seems mystifying, but perhaps Auckland Council doesn’t think Franklin exists. The Post went on the Auckland Council website last night to check how to report a lost dog. It told you who to contact if you were from Central Auckland, Papakura, Great Barrier Island, Waiheke Island, Manukau, Rodney, Waitakere and North Shore. Nope, no mention of Franklin at all...

Two issues have galvanised the local district over the past week; one has been the proposed changes to rural subdivisions under the Auckland Unitary Plan, and the second has been the issue of whether to discontinue the use of the Waiuku Fire Siren. We have had calls all week from people who have been trying to work out what the Unitary Plan changes actually mean for their properties, seeking information on how to make a submission and raising concern over the effect any changes may have on rural lifestyles. Meanwhile, our articles on our facebook page about proposals to halt the use of the siren at certain times had a combined facebook reach of over 16,000 people, and received hundreds of comments, more than any other articles since we started our facebook page a year ago. At first glance, it wouldn’t appear the two issues are connected; but they have a lot in common. Overwhelmingly, locals want the siren to be retained. It’s part of their culture, part of their history and heritage, part of what makes Waiuku unique. Those same feelings are behind much of the concern over zoning changes under the Auckland Council. Franklin isn’t central Auckland. What works in one area doesn’t necessarily work in another. Whether it be proposals for parking meters in Waiuku and Pukekohe, charges for cafe tables on footpaths, intensive housing development or, even, reducing noise levels from sirens Franklin and the towns within it have developed an identity and a feel over many years. Locals have made their views known on the siren - it is only through questioning and making submissions to the Unitary Plan that they can make their voice heard on zoning. And you only have until July 22 to do it.
Congratulations for supporting local youth Geoff Dickey and his fellow local business colleagues need to be congratulated on supporting young people from their local community. (Last week’s story about offering a free Spirit of Adventure Experience - Ed) As a society, we would be a better place if we invested more into our youth of the nation. Yes, in this case it is sponsoring for the Spirit of Adventure Trust 10-Day Youth Development Programme, but the critical
Board should show leadership over zoning change Here we go; ‘Big Brother’ leading us up the garden path. As read in the latest Post, the proposal to rezone all large lot residential zone areas surrounding Waiuku from large lot residential to single house zone. One size does not fit all. If someone near Victoria Ave wishes to do so, surely there is provision for them to gain consent without effecting the entire zone. Come on Franklin Local Board, you started this, now show some community leadership and put this right, retract the requested change. I must be delusional as I thought the Board worked for the community?

As yet however, there is no sign of Mr Dilly.

No consultation? Just a letter from council, hoping to slip one through. And then adding insult by having to apply for something we already have. At a cost ? Money grabbing at its worst. Have you tried to navigate the council web site to gather information? I’m sure many people will be apathetic with the thought of having to troll through this exercise. ‘Nek minute’ we have the council Gestapo at your door , confiscating your chickens.

Storms batter the district Kiwibank to refund clients A Kiwibank spokesperson says a series of problems with its ATM in Waiuku has meant local clients have experienced intermittent problems for longer than would usually be expected. Clients complained to the Post Newspaper last week that outages meant they had to withdraw cash from the bank, and were being charged a transaction fee despite the fault lying with the bank. The Post contacted Kiwibank,
who said usually outages were picked up remotely and could be fixed remotely through ‘rebooting’ the system, however Waiuku’s issue required technicians to attend several times. The spokesperson said any clients who felt they had been charged fees unfairly while the machine was out of action can email the bank’s complaints department, or phone their 0800 number to have the charges credited.
Wife’s birthday wins $125,000 Waiuku resident Ernie Locke thought he was dreaming when he awoke after last week’s storms to find a trampoline had flown 70 metres into his property overnight. The Franklin district wasn’t spared the brunt of the fierce thunderstorms, howling gales and lightning strikes which hammered the region last week. A number of homes in Pukekohe were affected by severe lightning, cutting power and destroying electrical equipment. Counties Power said Wednesday night’s storm meant power was off at the top of the Manukau Heads for about three-quarters of an hour and about 75 Pukekohe homes were without power until Thursday afternoon. There were several other more isolated outages affecting individual properties or small groups of people. A Counties Power spokesperson said on Thursday morning that safety is the company’s first priority. “In all cases the fault team found the problems quickly and started
work as soon as they could do so safely,” the spokesperson said. By Friday the Counties Power fault repair team had restored power and hot water to almost all people in the Pukekohe and Papakura areas. Meanwhile, in Waiuku’s Brookesmith Place, resident Ernie Locke put the kettle on in the morning and looked out his kitchen window to find his property had collected a large trampoline overnight. Wind gusts had picked up the structure and hurled it over 70 metres away from the property of Lynnaire Brear and Jamie Gilfillan. Ernie said he thought he was dreaming when he first looked outside, and added it was a miracle that his ranchslider, roof or windows were not damaged by the unexpected arrival of his aerial visitor.
A Pukekohe man has his wife to thank for his $125,000 Bullseye First Division win after her birthday was drawn as the lucky number. The winner, a new Bullseye player, was on his way home with his children on a Sunday morning when they decided to stop at a dairy to buy a Lotto ticket and an ice cream. “I’d only ever played Bullseye once before, so thought I’d give it another go. I bought a ticket with three different family birthdays as the six-digit numbers. “I chose my birthday, my wife’s birthday, and my son’s birthday – and my wife’s birthday turned out to be the lucky one! We actu-
ally won small prizes on the other two lines too, so I guess we’re a bit of a lucky family,” he laughed. But it took the winner a week to realise that he held the winning ticket in his hand. “I didn’t bother checking the tickets until the following Sunday when I checked my Lotto ticket,” he explained. “It was such a big surprise to find out I’d won any prize – let alone First Division” The family feels humbled by the win and will share their good fortune with family and their local community. The winning Bullseye ticket was sold at Lochview Dairy.

Pink high tea Barb’s Bar and Diner in Waiuku, (formerly the Wolf and Beaver) is to host a Pink Ribbon Charity High Tea this Sunday (July 13) to raise funds for the breast cancer charity. Tickets are available from the bar for $30, with the event starting from 2.30pm. Organisers are hoping for a fun atmosphere and for people to dress up in their favourite pink outfits to enjoy an afternoon out while also raising money for the cause. The NZBCF promotes awareness of breast cancer, provide information and education, and raise funds to support breast cancer-related initiatives, including research, scholarships, medical grants, community education and a breast cancer patient register.
Taonga Act to modify, disturb or destroy any historic site or one dating before 1900. The Act provides for fines of up to $150,000
for destroying a site and $60,000 for modifying one. Sites can include Maori or European sites, middens or shipwrecks. The Mauku church’s history dates back to the Land wars of the mid-1800s, and is a significant historical place in the region. Designed by Dr A G Purchas and built in 1860-61, the ‘Selwyn’ church retains the loopholes which betray its frontier origins. It was garrisoned in the Waikato war in 1863 with some 600 troops camped in the vicinity. Members of the church were this week to be placing signs warning of the consecrated nature of the area, and enquiries are continuing to identify those responsible for the digging.
Farmers relieved farm buildings now exempt in earthquake bill Federated Farmers is delighted Government has seen the logic of exempting farm structures from a proposed Bill as a first step to ensuring the viability of rural towns is not compromised. “It was mind boggling to hear the Minister cost the inclusion of farm structures in the Building (Earthquakeprone Buildings) Amendment Bill as being an imposition of $170 million,” says Anders Crofoot, Federated Farmers new Vice-President. “We naturally welcome
this exemption since no one in the recorded history of farming in New Zealand has ever been killed in a collapsing farm structure during an earthquake. It was a clear case of regulatory overreach. “While we welcome this exemption, we still have major concerns about the Bill’s implication for the rural service towns we absolutely rely upon. Destroying our provincial towns in order to save them does not strike us as sensible given the low-rise, low density profile of these
towns are markedly different from central Wellington or Auckland. We believe there needs to be a lot more work to model the effect of an earthquake on the types of streetscape found in provincial centres. Even then there needs to be a social and economic decision to balance a pure safety approach with a degree of pragmatism.” He adds a focus on parapets, verandas and removing at risk items could greatly boost safety at the least social and financial cost.

A police complaint has been laid amid anger that someone has been apparently looking for historic items in the grounds of the St Brides Church at Mauku. Members say they discovered a number of holes in the ground, and believe someone has been visiting the site with a metal detector, infuriating some parishioners. Members say the church is on consecrated ground, and unapproved digging on the land, as well as being disrespectful, is also illegal, and can bring hefty fines. Two years ago a Hamilton antiques dealer was fined $15,000, and $2500 costs to the Historic Places Trust after digging on the

Gain - Loss
Matthew 16:26 “For what is a man profited, if
he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”
THE POST NEWSPAPER, JULY 8, 2014
College hosts ‘World Cup’ final
all vanish away, and all that is to be left is our character and our spiritual life, that is if we even have cultivated one. If one was to step up to you with a big set of scales and weight the physical, and then the spiritual of your life, which one is the biggest, would the difference be by much or little?
Our text for today asks us to get very seriously
This concept of Profit and Loss is what Accountants, Banks, Investment Brokers, Businessmen are all interested in. Farmers sow a little seed and plan for a bountiful crop to obtain much gain, and they certainly do not want a crop loss. We go to work and put in many hours of effort, and at the end of the week we eagerly anticipate a gain for that effort by a boost in numbers in a Bank Account, a gain.
Our wonderful Lord Jesus asks us to now look
from the physical life over into our spiritual side, and for us to seriously consider the Spiritual Profit and Loss Accounts therein. Isaiah 51:6-8 “Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [is] my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.”
Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is appointed unto men
once to die, but after this the judgment:” Ecclesiastes 9:10 “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” 2 Peter 3:10-12 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. [Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”
and to consider this matter, and then to take an immediate and decided action to re-balance the trend and to prioritize that which has eternal benefits rather than the short term physical that will so soon fade away and disappear.
John 6:37 “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” So come to Jesus right now, fall in his arms, confess that you have been side tracked, and put things right and start afresh with a new and bountiful relationship with our wonderful Lord Jesus. The Saviour saw that men were absorbed in getting gain, and were losing sight of eternal realities. He undertook to correct this evil. He sought to break the infatuating spell that was paralyzing the soul. Lifting up His voice He cried, “What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:26. He presents before fallen humanity the nobler
world they have lost sight of, that they may behold eternal realities. He takes them to the threshold of the Infinite, flushed with the indescribable glory of God, and shows them the treasure there. The value of this treasure is above gold or silver. The riches of earth’s mines cannot compare with it. {COL 106}
Christ calls upon every one to consider. Make an honest reckoning. Put into one scale Jesus, which means eternal treasure, life, truth, heaven, and the joy of Christ in souls redeemed; put into the other every attraction the world can offer. Into one scale put the loss of your own soul, and the souls of those whom you might have been instrumental in saving; into the other, for yourself and for them, a life that measures with the life of God. Weigh for time and for eternity. While you are thus engaged, Christ speaks: “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:36. God desires us to choose the heavenly in place of the earthly. He opens before us the possibilities of a heavenly investment. He would give encouragement to our loftiest aims, security to our choicest treasure. When the riches that moth devours and rust corrupts shall be swept away, Christ’s followers can rejoice in their heavenly treasure, the riches that are imperishable. {COL 374} It is so with the soul. The heart is to be carefully kept and guarded. “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for
his soul?” Mark 8:36, 37. Christ must abide in the heart by faith. His word is the bread of life and the water of salvation. Trust in its fullness comes to us through constant communion with God. By eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Christ we gain spiritual strength. Christ supplies the lifeblood of the heart, and Christ and the Holy Spirit give nerve power. {CH 593}
How much effort do we put into that which will
all be burnt up, and yet our soul or spiritual life is fading away with a gross lack of attention and nourishment. Peter tells us that the externals will
Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Please open the door to your heart and let the Saviour in.

While the real World Cup enters the semi final stages this week in Brazil, a slightly lower-profile event took place at Waiuku College as teams battled out their own version of the World Cup. In the end it was Brazil who triumphed over Ghana 3-1. Some 224 students took part over three weeks, following the World Cup format, with the final played at lunchtime on Thursday complete with raucous crowds, flags, music and a half-time interview.
Clarks Beach artist centre-stage A potential audience of 400,000 people could be daunting for some, but not for Clark’s Beach mouth painting artist Trevor Wells, who has had one of his paintings chosen for exhibition at the Fine Arts displays at the Royal Queensland Show in Brisbane next month. Thousands of competition entries are received for all categories, but with limited space, only the best are exhibited. Trevor’s acrylic painting ‘Castle Vaduz’ will be exhibited alongside an incredible array of international artistic talent on show this year. The painting is typical of Trevor’s style as his favourite subjects are often landscapes. Trevor’s precise observation of nature makes his paintings particularly attractive. In 1978 Trevor was playing for Uxbridge Rugby Club in the UK when a collapsed scrum changed his life forever. Left perma-

nently paralysed it was impossible for Trevor to return to carpentry, his career before his injury. Following long months in hospital he was persuaded to try painting by holding a brush in his mouth. Despite having no previous interest in art, Trevor devoted the same attention to detail in his painting as he had with carpentry, developing a distinctive style which has made him one of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA’s) most recognised and popular artists. “There are thousands of entries to the Ekka art competitions, so I am honored to have been chosen for exhibition at the show this year,” says Trevor. Trevor will be attending the exhibition in Brisbane where, alongside several members of the MFPA, he will be demonstrating his mouth painting skills.

Locals prepare for Yorkshire Day With less than four weeks to go until the Yorkshire Day celebrations, the New Zealand Committee has been working hard to plan two Franklin events to mark this important day on the Yorkshire calendar. It is 245 years since Captain James Cook (from Whitby in Yorkshire) arrived on New Zealand shores and commenced his task to accurately chart New Zealand’s coast line, and since that time many of his fellow Yorkshire folk have come to call New Zealand home. The celebrations in 2014 will again be based in the Waiuku and Pukekohe area with people travelling again from many places outside this area with even an expression of interest from Australia. The festivities start at the Shires restaurant in Waiuku on Friday August 1 from 6.30pm and will include a live Skype link with South Kirkby in Yorkshire, this years location for functions which will see over 40 mayors and their officers from around Yorkshire attending. The New Zealand end of this link will feature local people from council and national roles as well as community groups representatives during the live international chat. On Sunday August 3 the celebrations continue at the Pukekohe Cosmopolitan Club from noon with an afternoon of fun and activities planned including a lunch of the traditional Yorkshire dish of fish, chips and mushy peas with many Yorkshire mementos. For details or to register for either event, phone 09 2357050.
Whitebaiting public meeting Controls on whitebait stands, regulation of the activity, and possible changes to ensure local Maori are able to uphold their mandated fishing rights are likely to be among topics raised at a series of meetings this month in the region. The three community meetings come after the release, earlier this year, of a baseline report on whitebait stands and associated structures in the lower Waikato River between Tuakau and Port Waikato. The report, compiled by Waikato Raupatu River Trust and Waikato Regional Council, identified a range of matters related to whitebait stands and associated baches. The first meeting will be at the Tuakau Memorial Hall, George St, on Thursday, 17 July from 5:30pm 7:30pm, before a Waiuku meeting at the Waiuku Memorial Hall, cnr Queen St and Victoria Ave, on Thursday 24 July from 5:30pm - 7:30pm. The final meeting will be at the Port Waikato Community Hall, Maunsell Rd, on Friday 25 July from 1pm - 3pm. A half-hour presentation will be given, followed by time to ask questions of the various agencies. There will also be a chance for community members to share their thoughts on what the next steps should be to manage the issues. Acting group manager Waikato Raupatu River Trust Julian Williams said: “Waikato-Tainui are committed to working with Te Puuaha communities and our agency partners for the protection of the whitebait fishery for the future generations of all New Zea-
landers. Good communication flow and working collaboratively ensures we will all find solutions that work for everyone.” “The various agencies want to stress their commitment to working with the Port Waikato community to find solutions that will better protect and enhance whitebait and other associated fisheries, river habitats and wildlife,” said regional council compliance and education manager Rob Dragten. “At the same time we collectively want to ensure that fishing is being carried out in a safe and sustainable way, and that the environment is being protected.” The lower Waikato River has traditionally been a plentiful source of whitebait but over the years more and more people are seeking to gather the delicacy there. The release of the whitebait report was accompanied by a plea for people to ensure that no new stands or buildings are constructed unless they comply with all relevant district and regional council rules. Key issues raised in the report included: • the need to take a look at how a range of whitebait-related issues are managed • ensuring mandated fishing rights are upheld • the need to ensure that sewage is not being discharged into the river, ensuring that rules on whitebait stands and baches are followed and making sure there is a healthy river and a good environment for whitebait.

U-turn on scattering ashes Council appears to have done a U-turn on earlier proposals regarding scattering of ashes in its proposed Cemeteries and Crematoria Bylaw and Code of Practice. With deliberations now complete, Councillor Calum Penrose said last week: “I would also like to make the point that it was never our intention to charge or expect people to get permission for the scattering of ashes in public places.” However, the Council’s information document on the proposal clearly states: The Code of Practice proposes that permission be obtain to scatter ashes in a public place. However, the new bylaw and code are expected to be adopted later this month. Councillor Penrose, the chair of the bylaw hearings panel, says council recognises that the end of life care of a loved one is a very personal for people, both spiritually and culturally. “The recommendations we have made
will ensure that our staff can continue to respond to the needs of Auckland’s diverse communities with respect,” says Mr Penrose, adding “the discussion has highlighted a variety of cultural beliefs and the need for greater education on this.” Among last weeks recommendations: • Cemetery managers have discretion on how many people can witness the cremation, balanced with meeting the wishes of family and friends and maintaining a safe environment. • Continuing to support family and friends’ desire to be able to fill their loved ones’ grave, but ask that they give cemetery staff notice so that provision can be made, including having equipment available. • That floral tributes and adornments on graves will be moved to the concrete berm to allow grave maintenance to be carried out. The new bylaw is expected to come in to effect from November 1 this year.
Hunt on for graffiti vandals Security camera footage is being reviewed after another spate of vandalism in Waiuku’s River Lane. Council contractors were back at the site again yesterday after cans of paint were poured down an embankment at the site and other cans thrown onto the road. Wet conditions and cars driving through the pools of paint meant the damage was spread further along the lane, resulting in a closure while staff mopped up. The attack comes as there has been new reports of graffiti in the area, and the Waiuku Business and Development Association is looking at investing in further security cameras for the site.

No drugs for poor areas say Council In a move which could have far-reaching ramifications for local bylaws, Auckland Councillors are suggesting to base licencing for so-called ‘legal highs’ only to the more affluent areas of Auckland. Councillors are proposing to prevent the sale of psychoactive substances near schools, treatment centres and in areas of high deprivation as part of a draft Auckland Council policy.
They define those high deprivation areas as ‘local areas included in the top 30 per cent of the most deprived communities in New Zealand, according to the recently released Ministry of Health deprivation index.’ The Regional Strategy and Policy Committee last week received an update on the development of the council’s draft Local Approved Products Policy (LAPP), which will set out where retail out-
Former Pukekohe star returns
Dynamic midcourter Millie Lees is heading to the Northern Mystics next season. Lees, who has 11 test caps for the Silver Ferns, has been playing ANZ Championship netball for the Wellington-based Haier Pulse for the past six seasons. But the qualified doctor, who grew up in Pukekohe, can’t wait to head north again and link up with shooters Maria Tutaia and Cathrine Latu in the Mystics attack. “I’m excited about the chance to play alongside them and I hope I can complement them. The Mystics have always been an exciting team and it will great to be a part of it next year.” Lees, 25, says she’s loved her Pulse experience but it was time for a chance to recharge her netball career. Coach Debbie Fuller says Lees will add an element of precision to the attacking line. “Camilla is consistent, mature and can slot into both centre and wing attack. She has shown she can take on the physicality of the game and extend herself. She adds experience, plays with precision and has a consistently high work rate.”

lets selling these substances may be allowed to operate in Auckland. The committee has agreed that the preferred option is to specify areas where approved psychoactive substances (commonly referred to as legal highs) will not be able to be sold, as follows: • neighbourhood centres as defined by the Auckland Unitary Plan • within 300 metres of a high school and 100m of a primary school • within 300 metres of a mental health or addiction treatment centre • within 500m of an existing psychoactive substance retail licence • local areas included in the top 30 per cent of the most deprived communities in New Zealand, according to the recently released Ministry of Health deprivation index. “This preferred option
is the result of talking with local boards and external stakeholders,” says Regional Strategy and Policy Committee Chair Councillor George Wood. In May the Government passed the Psychoactive Substances Amendment Act 2014, which effectively stopped the sale of products until they were tested and proven low risk, meaning retailers had nothing to sell. Cr Wood says while the move has given communities a bit of a reprieve, it is only until the new testing and licensing regulations for psychoactive substances are developed and approved. “That is why we have to make sure we are ready and have our policy in place before those new regulations come in.” The proposal is expected to be out for public consultation in November this year.

More storms The Met Service said yesterday it was expecting a fine start to the week for most, except for those north of the Bombay Hills, and this setup is likely to continue for the first half of the week as a low approaching Northland brings rain and strong winds from Auckland northwards. The wind and rain will ease briefly midweek before picking up again towards the weekend and spreading over Nelson and the West Coast. A Severe Weather Warning has been issued for heavy rain and severe easterly gales over Northland whilst a Watch has been issued for the north of Auckland, Coromandel and eastern Waikato. Further watches and warnings are likely to be issued later in the week as a strengthening northerly flow brings widespread rain later in the week.
Help wanted Locals with an interest in gardening and looking for a fun family activity these school holidays are invited to help with a community planting day next Monday. A planting project supported by Auckland Council in partnership with Waiuku Golf and Squash Club and the local community is underway near the Golf Club’s estuary reserve. Organisers are planting several hundred native trees and are looking for volunteers keen to lend a hand from 9.30am on Monday July 14. People are asked to bring a spade, gloves, and wear covered shoes. Volunteers can meet at the Hamilton Estate Estuary Reserve, (next to the rugby league fields). For further information, contact Melissa Prestidge, phone 235 0976, or Mary Hull on 027 287 2681.
A wild fund raising night Waipipi School held a fund raising event with a difference recently as ‘Swazi-Man’ Davey Hughes donated his time to speak to an audience at the Waiuku Rugby Club. He’s hunted Caribou in the Arctic Circle, grizzlies in Alaska and buffalo in Tanzania. He’s the bane of Customs officials’ lives, has run the gruelling Coast to Coast, and is the man behind the highlysuccessful Swazi outdoor clothing label. He’s a passionate conservationist and he sure knows how to spin a yarn or two, as those who attended discovered. Davey spoke for over two hours about his travels and hunting experiences around the world. As well as being very interesting, he had the audience in fits of laughter. At times there was a more serious tone to his speaking. Those attending saw photos of, and heard the tragedies of, endangered species and how poachers are hunting them to extinction. At the end of the evening he welcomed questions and awarded great questions with unique clothing accessories to be worn by men. As a kid in Wainuiomata, he spent the weekends in the hills going after pigs and possums. Now, he and his wife Maggie have built an outdoor clothing empire on their proudly made-in-New Zealand ‘Swazi’ brand; and he wants to get kids into our back-country having the roughing-it adventures that kick-started his remarkable life. The Waipipi PTA are using funds raised
by this event to purchase new books for their brand new library. Organisers thanked Waiuku and Pukekohe RD1, Billy and Jay from Waiuku Primary and ‘the magnificent PTA from Waipipi School.’

The two students below were very excited to have their photo taken with Davey. Pictured are Ryan Prince (Year 8) and Joel O’Neill.

Tuakau artist a finalist
Tuakau artist Laura Marsh has been chosen as one of the finalists in a prestigious award, with winners to be announced in a month. Judge Simon Rees has selected 53 artworks as finalists for the 2014 National Contemporary Art Award sponsored by Ebbett Audi and Tompkins Wake, and hosted at Waikato Museum. Waikato Museum Director Cherie Meecham says a number of changes were made this year to streamline the entry process, and the resulting high number of entries indicates its success. “This year we developed a new online

entry system which enabled entrants to upload a number of high res images and video links of their work for the judge to view. With 270 entries this year, judge Simon Rees had quite a task,” she said. The 53 artworks nominated as finalists will make up the 2014 award exhibition. The winners will be announced on 8 August at an awards ceremony before the exhibition opens at Waikato Museum from 9 August until 9 November 2014. The winner of the 2014 National Contemporary Art Award will receive $15,000 from the major sponsors, Ebbett Audi and Tompkins Wake.
The onset of winter had its traditional impact on the Auckland property market in terms of sales numbers and new property listings during June. However, prices continued to edge up during the month. “The average sales price during June was $714,054, which was up 1.6 percent on May’s average price, and the second highest average price on record,” said Wendy Alexander, Chief Executive Officer of Barfoot & Thompson. “While the number of sales at 1037 for the month was lower by 6.5 percent on those for May, and right in line with those for May last year, the demand for higher value properties from prospective buyers saw the average sales price increase by $11,000 over that for May. “The average sales price has now risen by 9.9 percent over what it was in June 2013. “During the month we sold 179 homes for in excess of $1 million, which represents 17.3 percent of all the homes sold, and 35.9 percent of the total sales value of all homes sold. “Even six months ago, sales of this number of high value homes would have been exceptional. “What this underlines is that while supply continues to lag behind demand, values for high end homes will climb. “With close to a third of all June properties selling for less than $500,000, the median sales price for the month edged down by 2.9 percent on that for May to $626,500. “The median price tends to be more volatile than the average price, but at $626,500 it is 8.2 percent higher than the median price for the 2013 year. “The number of new listings in June was 1149, our lowest number this year and down 12.8 percent on those for May. While a fall in new listing is a trend commonly seen at the start of winter, it will add pressure to lack of choice in coming months. “At month end we had 3274 properties listed, our lowest number for five months. Compared to the number of properties available at this time of year over the past 10 years, choice remains very limited.”

Massive haul of Smart Meter issue ‘isolated’ illegal shellfish
A huge haul of shellfish collected at an Auckland beach may see two Auckland women facing serious fisheries charges. Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) Honorary Fishery Officers responded to a call from the public on their 0800 4 POACHER line, relating to excess shellfish being taken from a beach in the Eastern suburbs in June 2014. (Honorary Fishery Officers are uniformed volunteers who are trained to assist with education and compliance around fisheries regulations). When the officers arrived they spoke to two women who had attempted to conceal a large sack of cockles under a ledge on the beach. It was discovered that in total, they had gathered 1,162 cockles and 183 whelks between them. Further investigation revealed a further 960 shucked rock oysters in a container inside their vehicle. The daily legal entitlement for cockles is 50 per gatherer per day. Rock oysters and whelks can make up part of a combined limit of 50 other specified shellfish species per gatherer per day. The vehicle where the rock oysters were found was seized by MPI and inquiries are continuing. MPI Honorary Fisheries Co-ordinator Anna Willison says: “It is especially puzzling that people continue to offend like this when by sticking to the daily limits provides them with more than enough shellfish for a meal and has no consequence.” “There is no excuse for people not to know the daily limits – there is signage at many beaches and there is plenty of information available on the MPI website, including an app which can be downloaded to a smart phone” Mrs Willison says.
A Waiuku man whose family was facing an $800 power bill after not receiving one following the change to Smart Meters is surprised to hear that his has been described as an isolated case by the power companies involved. The man was looking at changing power supply companies and told a salesperson (from a new company) that he was yet to receive an account. The man says he was told this was because there was an error with transmitting data from the Smart Meters that was affecting much of Waiuku. This claim is denied by Counties Power and Energy
Online, who say the incident was ‘an isolated error’ on the clients account that prevented an automatic estimated bill being created and posted to him. Energy Online apologised to the client for the delay and provided him with an appropriate credit as compensation. Around 7300 customers on the Counties Power network are being transitioned from their old meters to new Smart Meters. While this transition is underway all customers should continue to receive a monthly energy invoice from their retailer.

Fondly referred to during the speeches as ‘the Pommie guys’, the trio were presented with commemorative jerseys before heading back to the UK. The players, Tom Read, Martin Baldwin and Joe Robinson were popular members of the club, and, as he will be overseas at prizegiving, Tom was awarded the Under-21s Player of the Year title on Saturday night instead. Their thank-you speeches were celebrated with a rousing haka from their club-mates as they paid tribute to the help, support and friendliness of the club over the past season. The trio are pictured with club president Maurice Brighouse during the presentation.

Take a 35 acre plot that was good at growing to build their dream home. They had met with other building companies but they felt none of them could create their grass, but had never been developed. Add in a unique home at their nominated budget. That all changed professional couple who had a whole lot of time when they started talking to NZ Home Builders. They invested in searching for the perfect home building soon had plans for a beautiful home, that offered views company with limited success. Finally the clients of a small lake and rural landscapes.

When asked what was the most difficult part of building, it was a welcome change to hear that deciding between handle A, B or C, and what colour the granite should be were about the toughest parts of the process that the clients encountered. Of course the benefit of having a colour consultant on board at NZ Home Builders meant that good advice was never far away. When asked about the build process and timing, the feedback was quite astonishing. Danielle said NZ Home Builders were “Perfect” high praise no doubt. She backs up what she says by mentioning that they were in their new home the week before Christmas, as promised months earlier. Christmas is a date that many will strive to meet, but that most will fail to achieve at the last minute. This is a home for the long term, however Danielle mentioned that one of her neighbours has managed to subdivide, so when the question was asked would she perhaps consider building an investment property or two in a distant corner of the parcel of land, the answer was “of course, but only if NZ Home Builders can handle it all again”.

Thriller at junior netball They might be young teams, but Swampyview Allstars (red) and the Glenbrook Despicables played out an absolute cracker of a match on Saturday at the Waiuku Netball Centre. It was 8-8 at half time in blustery conditions, and at the end of the third quarter it was still all tied up at 12-12. In a thrilling final quarter, the teams battled each other and the conditions, Swampyview scoring two goals to one to edge it out with a final score of 14-13.

Moisturise daily to keep your skin well hydrated. Don’t forget to apply a good sunscreen Whether you usually wear makeup or not, taking care of your skin is especially important when the cold weather arrives. Keeping your complexion smooth and supple is, after all, the basic step in a natural beauty regimen. Winter can play havoc with our looks. However, a few simple tricks can help you survive the cold weather relatively easily. Protect yourself from the sun. Even though it’s pretty rare during the winter, sunshine can still damage your skin. The dry air of winter can dehydrate your skin very quickly. Use a good moisturizer, morning & evening, to prevent dryness.

Call for smokefree cars Newly-published research shows the potential for community campaigns to reduce smoking in cars, but legislation is still critical to ensure children are protected the authors say. University of Otago Wellington researchers observed more than 57,000 vehicles in Wainuiomata after a local campaign in 2013 to decrease the exposure of children to smoking in cars. The campaign included local sports role models, a webpage, radio advertising, signage at school drop-off zones, branding at community and school events, smokefree car information packs and a smokefree car story competition. They found that the smoking seen in vehicles by roadside observers decreased from 6% in 2005 to 5% in 2011, and then to 3% in 2013.

Economy, style and performance The all-new Holden Barina has been receiving rave reviews from auto websites as it delivers a cost-effective package with an emphasis on handling and safety. Priced from only $26,490 plus on-road costs. the stylish Barina RS, with its rakish lines and focus on sports performance manages to combine excellent fuel economy with an engine which delivers more punch than you might expect for its size. The 1.4-litre 16-valve fourcylinder turbo pumps out an impressive 103kW of power, along with 200Nm of torque, and combined with the stiffened suspension and improved handling, delivers a sports feel while still being an everyday commuter vehi-

cle. Helping that sports look is the new front and rear fascia, rear spoiler and the aggressive stance that comes from a sharp roofline and 17” allow wheels. To complement this, the interior delivers as well. It has specialised leather-appointed RS sports seats, and the leather is continued to the sports steering wheel. Sports alloy pedals keep the sharp styling going. Upmarket vehicles these days are a veritable feast of electronic technology, and the Barina RS is no exception, with built-in smartphone apps, and a MyLink infotainment system. Safety has not been sacrificed for style however. the new Barina RS featuring with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, that comes courtesy
of its six airbags, rear parking sensors, stability control and ABS brakes. The Brake Assist system is just one example of how technology is helping the drivers of today. In emergency braking situations, few drivers actually press the brake pedal firmly enough to achieve maximum braking performance. BA is designed to sense how fast you press the brake pedal in an emergency, and maximises braking pressure to optimise braking performance. And with Electronic Stability Control, braking and turning are far safer than ever before, as the ESC constantly compares the vehicle’s movements with the steering wheel angle to determine if the vehicle is
moving in the direction you intend. If skidding appears imminent, ESC applies brake pressure to individual wheels as appropriate and, if necessary, trims engine power. This dramatically increases turning and cornering safety, especially in ‘evasive action’ situations With traction control and sports suspension, the Barina RS is a true driver’s car, one which is stylish enough to enjoy while it is standing still, but one which really has to be experienced from behind the wheel to sense the amount of investment, experience and technological innovation which has gone into it. For further information on the new Barina RS, contact Ebbett Holden in Pukekohe.

New commercials, new and used imported passenger vehicles and motorbikes all saw strong sales for both the month and the first half-year – with some sectors moving the highest volumes since records began. Sales of new passenger cars reached the highest volume for both the month and first half of the year in 25 years. All three top-selling passenger vehicles were from Toyota: the Rav4 led, with 371 units sold in June, then Corolla with 333 units, and the Highlander, selling 308 units. Toyota also still leads the way in the new commercial segment, with Hilux in first
place with 847 units sold for the month, followed by Ford’s Ranger, selling 574 vehicles, and the Holden Colorado, with 359 units. MTA Dealer Services and Mediation Manager Tony Everett says the strong sales for the first half of the year across all sectors is a healthy indicator of a buoyant market, with strong consumer confidence. “It’s been the biggest new commercial month since our records began in 1981 – as well as the biggest first half. June is historically a big month for commercial vehicles due to Fieldays, but this is exceptional,” Everett says.

After this weekend’s round of Counties Power club rugby, the positions on the table have all remained the same except the top four order has changed with Patumahoe Hotel moving into second place after their 14-7 win over Waiuku who remain in fourth spot. A win over Manurewa next week will secure a semi-final spot for Waiuku, but Pukekohe could snatch fourth spot if they trip up. With three key players unavailable due to Steelers’ commitments, Waiuku were not able to develop their forward dominance of recent weeks but Patumahoe claimed the win with a strong first half. Tries to Jason Bird from a good period of attack and to Josh Van Lieshout from
a dropped Waiuku ball saw the visitors up 14-0 with Riley Hohepa’s conversions adding the extra. In the second half Waiuku were awarded a penalty try which Joe Dawson converted. Bombay have gone from second to third on the table after their 40-10 loss to table toppers Karaka on Saturday. It was a slippery game underfoot which impacted the running style of both of these high try scoring teams. It was competitive for the first half with Bombay dominating the set piece and line out for the first spell but Karaka’s defence was strong. Karaka had a 13-3 lead at half time which they extended when they gained control and momentum from the whistle in the second half.

It was trying conditions on the hill where Onewhero were beaten 19-0 by Pukekohe in the Counties Power Game of the Week. The match was quite even despite being fairly uneventful with a nil-all score until the very end of the first half when Pukekohe scored a try off an Onewhero blunder which really was the tone for match. Pukekohe were up 14-0 near the end of the second spell when they added another try to take their their tally to three. Pukekohe made the most of their opportunities and remain in fifth spot, only two points outside the top four. Next week they face an improved Ardmore Marist, who continued their winning ways on Saturday with a 37-10 win over Manurewa.
Counties rugby Karaka remain on top of both the Premier Grade and the Bob Chandler Memorial Premier Reserve grade with their 26-22 win over Bombay. There was only one point in Ardmore Marist’s 24-23 win over Manurewa. In another close match Pukekohe beat Onewhero 22-17 with Waiuku defeating Patumahoe 34-3. In the Sid Marshall Shield Te Kauwhata were edged out 11-8 by Papakura and Drury racked up 53 unanswered points against Weymouth. In the Bill Marsh Cup Papakura beat Te Kauwhata 27-10 and Drury defeated Weymouth 26-5. Ardmore Marist had a 24-3 win over Bombay in the U21 grade and Karaka beat Waiuku 36-17 and Manurewa defaulted to Pukekohe which leaves Patumahoe at the top of the table. In the U19 grade Patumahoe remain on top after beating Karaka 26-7 Patumahoe and Hauraki North just edged out Pukekohe 26-24.

Premier Reserves now in top two Even after heavy rain, the Waiuku Premier Reserves took to a beautifully groomed field on Saturday, ideally suited to running rugby, with a strong wind at their backs. Their solid win over Patumahoe secured them a home semi final. They were quickly into their work and after a hit-up by Sitani Folau, Neil Meachen slotted a penalty to take the early lead. Soon after, Folau made another break and fed wide to Axel Couper who scored in the corner (unconverted). However, a Waiuku error from the kick-off gifted Patumahoe their first points from a penalty. After another clean lineout take by Travis Miller and smart passing between Kowhai Nepia and Sam Knight saw Knight over the line and Meachen converted to take the lead out to 15 - 3. Waiuku continued to attack and a nice break by Meachen ended in a wide pass to Couper who scrambled over for his second try, Waiuku going into the break leading by 20 - 3. In the second half the Patumahoe forwards began to gain some

ground. However, replacement first five Dylan Neil made a huge break and after clinical forward recycling, Dominic Olson broke clear near to the line and Reihania Taupo’s good support play was rewarded with a try, converted by Brad Tucker. From then on the Waiuku forwards took control and maintained their dominance over the game, with the backs supporting the game plan with probing runs and a high work rate. Dallen Olson broke from second phase play after several hitups and fed to Taupo who dotted down for his second try (converted by Tucker) to give the final score of 34 - 3. The whole Waiuku team displayed a great commitment to their game plan for the full eighty minutes to convincingly subdue a formidable opponent. Player of the Match was Dominic Olsen who played an outstanding full game and then went on to play another 45 minutes for the Premiers.

A match to be proud of for Under-21s Waiuku’s Under-21s can be proud of their game against Karaka, they played well and with a lot of heart. Waiuku were looking at fronting the game with only one prop but Jerome Nunufolau and Ngamatau Cecil answered the SOS call and Waiuku were able to put a complete team on the paddock. Karaka had some huge men in their forward pack but they weren’t always dominant. The Waiuku pack held their own with solid games from Joe Robinson and Jared Parker. Martin Baldwin once again was
