Robbed golfer: It’s time to change law By THERESE HENKIN

Summer fun P10

golfer is calling for a law change after learning police couldn’t retrieve his stolen items – despite being able to track their exact location. Tom Owen had his golf bag stolen, containing $2000 worth of equiptment, on December 15th from How-

ick Golf Course at Musick Point. “They took everything, all my clubs, my bag, trundle, golf balls and my mobile phone which was tucked away inside the bag,” he says. Owen quickly tracked his phone using a GPS tracking app, and found the equipment had been taken to a nearby residential address on Pigeon Mountain Road.

“So basically even though you can track your phone to an exact address, it would appear the police are unable to do anything.” Owen thinks the current law is frustrating for victims of theft and will encourage them to try and retrieve the stolen goods themselves. ➤ Turn to Page 3

After reporting the incident, Owen was surprised to learn that police were not able to search the premises for the stolen goods. “I tracked it right to the front door of the property,” he says. “I knew exactly where the golf bag was, but I’m not sure if the police have even gone to the house I tracked it to yet,” he says.

Community rallies in post-storm clean up By KELLY TEED

beach was picking up debris of some sort. “It was a really fantastic community effort and in around four to five hours both ramps, car park access and the beach were looking very good, with a few members continuing on and removing a few last broken branches,” he said. Auckland Council’s head of operational management and maintenance Agnes McCormack said the council has completed an inspection of Cockle Bay and are meeting with Howick Local Board early next week to discuss repairs, which will be “progressed with urgency.” “Subject to Local Board approval, repairs are likely to include an extension of the seawall (length to be determined), and reinstatement of the eroded reserve edge, the public seat and rubbish bins damaged during the storm event,” McCormack said. A further update is expected next week.

he community rallied together to clean up local beaches after the area was hit by the first storm of the year. Much of east Auckland’s coast was heavily battered by the storm, with almost all beaches suffering severe flooding. Ferries were cancelled and much of Auckland experienced power outages. Maraetai Wharf and Half Moon Bay boat ramps were both severely damaged in the storm and accompanying King Tide. Howick Coastguard operations officer Chris Young said the debris was collected by council staff last week. He said while the original call was made to Coastguard members to help with the clean-up, he was impressed by the effort and commitment shown by local residents who then chipped in to help. “Once we started it seemed that nearly every person at the

REAA investigate Prett & Co The Real Estate Agents Authority is investigating apparent “abnormalities” in the trust account of a big Auckland real estate business which trades as Harcourts, the NZ Herald has reported. Preet Grewal, a licensed agent who is managing director of the multi-agency Harcourts Preet and Co Group, said he discovered a discrepancy. Harcourts CEO Chris Kennedy told the Times: “I can confirm Preet Grewal has voluntarily suspended his licence while the REA looks into possible abnormalities in the trust account for Preet & Co Real Estate. However Harcourts Group Ltd has ensured

no member of the public with monies in the trust account has been affected.”

Grants to local clubs New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT) awarded several grants in the Auckland region in December. Bucklands Beach Association Football Club received $10,000 which will go towards the salary of the director of coaching and Pohutukawa Coast Cricket Club was granted $4000 for cricket equipment for seniors and juniors, playing shirts and caps. Among the Auckland gaming venues that contributed were Barrel Inn in Howick and Xtreme Botany in Northpark.

Times again 100% locally-owned

Golfer robbed

he founder and managing director of Times Newspapers Ltd Reay Neben is pleased to announce that she and husband Brian have bought back a minority shareholding held by Fairfax Media meaning the company is again 100 per cent locally owned and operated. “This is a great opportunity for us to continue to grow and develop our popular Howick and Pakuranga Times and Botany and Ormiston Times titles,” Mrs Neben said. “We employ a great team of loyal people and with the support we have always had from the community, we will continue to do big things.” While technological advancements have brought many changes, Mrs Neben finds it difficult to reconcile social media offerings with traditional news delivery. “I do see many strengths of Facebook and Twitter but I question the veracity of much of the material published on social media sites,” she said.

Times Newspapers proprietor Reay Neben and husband Brian are pleased Times photo Wayne Martin to again have complete ownership of the company.

“I don’t know how they will record local history in the future. Howick is celebrating its 170th anniversary this year and for 46 of those years the Times has been recording events as a journal of record.” She declares too that print is far from dead. “I believe you can’t replace

your local newspaper, its news, its classified section, its advertising. It reflects who we are... parochial and local. “It has been from a position of privilege that we have held being part of this great community for 46. “We are still in your letterbox every week and free.”

Transformer goes up in Golflands Golflands residents experienced a power outage late last week after a power transformer caught fire on Corta Bella Place. The fire was caused by a fault within the power transformer at around 5.30pm on Friday, January 12. Smoke could be seen billowing from the transformer, and fire appliances from Howick and Otara were on the scene quickly. A spokesperson for Fire and Emergency NZ said the transformer was immediately isolated to make the surrounding area safe. The blaze was then extinguished and fire services remained at the scene until 8.30pm until the oil inside the transformer had cooled down sufficiently. No members of the public were injured. A Vector Power spokesperson says power was initially limited for 1415 customers as a safety precaution. “The physical nature of an electricity networks means that, regardless of location, unplanned outages can occur. But transformer fires are rare events, and outages

➤➤From page 1 “It’s very frustrating to know where your stolen items are and not have anyone do anything about it. “If police really can’t act on the information you give them, then something needs to change.” He says he went to the house where the stolen golf clubs are believed to be before contacting police. “I actually went there twice. The first time nobody was home. The second time a woman answered the door and said she knew nothing about the theft. The police told me afterwards, I shouldn’t have done that.” Owen says his mobile phone has since been turned off, and he is no longer able to track it. “One of my friends called my phone, which probably alerted them to the fact that the phone was in there and being used to track the golf bag.” Despite being confident the golf clubs are in the house, Owen says he holds “no great hope” of ever getting them back. A police spokesperson says the investigation is ongoing. “While we understand people may think police can use the tracking system people use on their phones and then send a patrol car to retrieve the property, under the Search and

Surveillance Act 2012, Police officers do not have the authority to enter a premise based off a locater app on a missing phone. “If police resources are available and the technology can pin-point a specific address such as a household, police are able to knock on the door and make enquiries, but not enter.” The police spokesperson says they strongly discourage members of the public from taking matters into their own hands and placing themselves in situations where there may be a potential risk to their safety.

Beware of the D hygiene grade Four local restaurants are among those revealed to have a D Food Premises rating. Businesses providing food to the public must display a food grade certificate. The grade on the certificate informs customers of the quality and hygiene standards that the food outlet has obtained. The Food Safety Bylaw requires the certificate to be displayed at the main entrance. Q M T Restaurant on Ti Rakau

Dr and Smile Dessert Restaurant on Whitford Rd are both listed as having a D rating due to cleaning, food storage and hygiene facilities. Bah Shabu Shabu on Torrens Rd in East Tamaki received the D rating due to cleaning, temperature control and food storage. Not alone in that vicinity, Dae Jang Guem Korean BBQ Restaurant, also on Torrens Rd, is also listed as a D with their cooking processes, food storage, cleaning and food preparation processes.

‘Iconic’ tree taken down A

Howick man is furious a massive Norfolk Pine has been cut down in his neighbourhood and says the tree – which could have been around for up to 100 years – was iconic in the area. Michael Phillips says the tree, which stood near the corner of Bleakhouse Road and Ridge Road, should never have been cut down on Wednesday last week. And he had a message for the landowner who removed the “majestic iconic Norfolk Pine seen as you approach Stockade Hill”. “Shame on you. This tree has stood for more than 50 years, possibly closer to 100 when the horse and cart were the main form of transport,” Mr Phillips said. “This property changed hands in the latter part of 2017 and clearly the new owner had no idea of the iconic nature of this beautiful tree that welcomes residents and visitors alike as they

approach Howick, and probably doesn’t care. He said with the kauri dieback disease killing kauri, people should be protecting large trees, not destroying them. “When looking from Stockade Hill, Howick can be differentiated from the surrounding newer areas simply by the amount of greenery but for how much longer?” he said “You don’t have to be a greenie, a tree hugger or an environmentalist to know that removing this tree is just plain wrong!” However the owner of the property on which the tree stood and Auckland Council said the tree was not protected and was causing problems and had to go. James Dowding, Auckland Council’s manager resource consents south said the tree in question on Bleakhouse Road was not scheduled or afforded protection under the Unitary Plan and there

was nothing on the certificate of title protecting it. “Our compliance team therefore will not be taking any further action,” Mr Dowding said. “General Tree protection in urban areas was removed by central government under the Resource Management Act Amendment in 2012. “This meant that property owners in some areas do not need to seek formal approval from Auckland Council before removing trees.” He added though that many trees are still protected because they are on the schedule of notable trees, in a significant ecological area or are located on council land. “As such, it is still best that people considering removing trees contact council’s planning helpdesk before removing any trees on their site,” Mr Dowding said.

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, January 18, 2018 — 5

“Where protected trees are removed without consent, we investigate these and will consider enforcement including possible prosecution if that is appropriate.” The unnamed property’s owner told the Times building inspection confirmed that the tree was unsafe. He said the tree was growing too big and large foliage falling off the tree was blocking the drains creating potential risk of flooding down the driveway. The tree was only going to get bigger and pose more of a risk, he said. He was told by council the tree was not protected and he was allowed to cut it down, especially given a building inspection had instructed him to do so. The man, who only recently moved into the property, said it was a shame to have to cut down such a beautiful tree. He is disappointed at having to do so.

This is gutting - east Auckland’s turn is overdue Two of the most important transport projects in our local area have wrongly had their futures thrown into doubt by the new Government. We all know that Botany, Howick and Pakuranga suffers from a lack of transport infrastructure. This is unfortunately because of decades of under investment from councils and governments of every political colour – red, blue and black. In Parliament late last year the new Minister for Transport refused to confirm whether

the busway between Panmure, Pakuranga and Botany, as part of the AMETI project, remained a priority for his Government. Similarly, the Prime Minister and Minister of Transport have regularly dismissed the value of the East-West Link and have now sent the project back to the drawing board. New governments get to make new decisions. That’s not in question. But consistency and certainty for locals is important when it comes to vital transport infrastructure.

We have all been fighting for many years for these projects, patiently waiting in line as we get closer and closer to it being “our turn”. In the last five years we accelerated the planning and funding for AMETI and East West Link to bring their start dates forward. We progressed both these projects through the planning stages, saw business cases emerge, allocated funding and, in the case of AMETI, we have seen some of the Panmure elements kicked off.

It is gutting for our community to have the new Minister decline to commit to AMETI and, with East West Link, effectively cancel it entirely. To add insult to injury, the Transport Minister has also this week signalled that he is looking at redirecting some of the road funding we all pay via petrol tax into providing light rail down Dominion Road. It has long been agreed that the funds paid for by road users should be invested in improving New Zealand’s roading network.

ami-Lee Ross MP for Botany If this goes ahead our taxes paid specifically to improve roads will be redirected to rail. And we will be left the losers, again. It’s our turn east Auckland. We’ve waited long enough for these projects. We have paid up front for them too. Jami-Lee Ross MP for Botany

The trig tower in the foreground has been destroyed.

The storm taketh away

Sad to know that this photograph I took will never be achievable again. This shot is of the Maraetai Wharf leading up to a storm. The trig tower in the foreground has been completely destroyed and is no longer evident. The pier in the background has also suffered heavy damage from the severe weather that hit last week.

I’m sure, along with many other avid photographers from around Howick and Pakuranga, we will never be able to capture these two structures again. Would be interested to know if Alan La Roche (local historian) knows how long they have been part of the bay. Lee Jacques (photographer)

The projected closure of 277 in Newmarket for an upgrading rebuild will further cause more traffic to divert to Sylvia Park. The evening commuter traffic heading through towards Pakuranga, Howick, Botany and beyond is frequently bottle-necked at the Waipuna Bridge, with delays to motorists for unacceptable lengths of time. In today’s NZ Herald (January 11) is an article confirming that the National Party has now launched public petitions for several projects to go ahead that

they had already promised $10.5 billion to fund, as earmarked in it’s Roads of National Significance programme. Transport spokeswoman Judith Collins has called them “the most crucial transport linkages in their regions.” Good to see that our Local MPs are endeavouring to hold the current government to account concerning the completion of these long-standing projects.

Excellent that our Botany MP Jami-Lee Ross is going to bat for our very special area regarding the progressing of the AMETI Initiative Project. The Times article we received coincided with the three extensive sets of public notifications from Auckland Council that all appeared in detail in the NZ Herald on the same day - December 18, 2017. The upgrades to the very old Panmure Bridge, Waipuna Bridge off ramp, plus the busway, all appeared on the plans, which have been in place for several years. Details have been mentioned and the progression verified at numerous public meetings and a stand was earlier at Pakuranga Plaza with representatives from Auckland Council available to talk to anyone interested in knowing more and/or having their own say. The very serious traffic congestion has been growing massively over time, along with the general area of Botany, Howick and beyond and has been worsened by the massive complex that is the Sylvia Park shopping centre. Following the large injection of $30 million for more shops, offices and a lane of cafes called The Grove which has already opened, the traffic around the surrounding general area has increased enormously and obviously will continue to do so as the further stages reach completion.

Readaway Books in its final chapter By Therese Henkin For decades Readaway Books on Picton Street has been the home away from home for Howick’s bookworms and bibliophiles. Now, the literary hideaway, crammed full of colourful magazines, comics and novels, has reached its final chapter. Soon the beloved bookstore, which has held an enduring presence on Picton Street for as long as most Howickians can

remember, will close its doors for the last time, as owner Barbara Rosie settles into retirement. “It just feels like the right time,” Ms Rosie says. “As you get older you realise you never know what’s around the corner. I don’t want to regret not setting aside time to do all the other things I love.” Ms Rosie joined the family business in 1985 to help out her aunt Margaret Clarke.

We often find ourselves in a position of compromise trying to make the most out of a bad situation. We sacrifice our principles out of laziness, (she’ll be right, I hope) or to keep the peace, we might tell ourselves, but we seldom get peace. It’s a bit like finding ourselves going the wrong way up a oneway street. Do we keep going , hoping no one will notice, we will not get caught and that there will not be a serious accident, or do we turn around , risking abuse, blocking traffic temporarily but ensuring no further harm results. We might finish up with egg on our faces but we will know we have done the right thing eventually. End of situation. There are times when we are forced to compromise, but we do not get the best that way. It is better to think and act with timeliness. We often seem to drift into compromise, carelessly ignoring foreseeable consequences. We have a compromise government now, for example. As a result, we face having to make choices on issues like marijuana, euthanasia, street prostitution, which should be no brainers. Will we compromise further and let them ‘slide’ or decide that we stand for something better? The cost (effort) has just gotten higher but what further consequences do we invite by abdicating our responsibilities on each

Well, here we go again. On the down side of Murvale Drive/Macleans Road roundabout we have another new bus stop right outside someone’s private residence and over their driveway! Any time the bus stops there pedestrians roaming about and if the bus driver

of these issues? Life just keeps on getting more complicated when we fail to act responsibly. Maybe you could make a New Year’s resolution. Is it important? Soundly based ? Does it pass the mental test? Then stick to it or face the consequences! (Personally I do not make New Year resolutions. If it is important you don’t need to wait. Do it now!) Harvey Rosieur

You’re quite correct

Re “Let’s start at the beginning” (Times, December 7). According to the Dictionary of

parks up for a smoke then think about the folk wanting out of their driveway. It would be of benefit for the locals if clarification was sought on our behalf by the HP Times from AT to explain and clarify their thinking, if in fact they did think at all!

NZ Biography - Felton Mathew left New Zealand in September 1847 and died in Peru in November. This suggests that he was probably not swimming his horse across the Tamaki River in October 1847. What is the source for this?

Chris Turnbull

■■ Author and historian Alan La Roche replies: Thank you for your correspondent’s comment. He/she is correct as Felton Mathew had left Auckland in October 1847. A surveyor was present and it was assumed, incorrectly, that it was Felton Mathew. I apologise for my mistake.

As the hot and humid weather lingers on, locals have been flocking to local beaches and swimming spots to cool off. Times photographer Wayne Martin snapped these over the holidays â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and before the storm which damaged Maraetai Wharf. The magnificent weather could be over for a while though with rain and north easterlies forecast over the next few days.

2017 a mixed year L

ast year was a year of mixed sentiment in the residential property market. It was a disparate year for residential property values with a general trend of slowing in the rate of growth due to LVR speed limits, stricter retail bank lending criteria and uncertainty ahead of the election, along with periods of rapid value increases in some areas and decreasing values in others. Overall the nationwide average shows residential property values increased 6.6 per cent or $41,660 during 2017 from $627,905 in December 2016 to $669,565 in December 2017, according to the latest QV House Price Index statistics. The average national value increased 3.6 per cent over the final three months of 2017. Sales volumes were down on 2016 for every month during the year and between February and October they were in excess of 20 per cent below 2016 levels before picking up in November when a post-election late spring surge saw them jump to just 10 per cent lower than November 2016 levels. QV national spokesperson Andrea Rush said a slow-down in the rate of value growth in the housing market that began in the latter part of 2016 with the introduction of LVR speed limits requiring a 40 per cent deposit by investors continued throughout

2017. “The frenzy in the market of the previous three years induced by high numbers of investors in the market subsided and we saw a return to more normal levels of activity in housing markets around the country,” she said. “By October nationwide annual value growth had slowed to 3.9 per cent, the lowest rate of growth seen in five years and for the Auckland Region it slowed to - 0.6 per cent, the slowest annual rate of growth seen there since March 2011.” High prices, constraints on finance caused by tightening in retail banks lending criteria and higher deposit requirements removed many buyers from the market and sales volumes plummeted. Potential housing policy changes in the lead up to the election also caused uncertainty and people took a wait and see approach causing activity to slow dramatically over the winter quarter and this resulted in value decreases in many areas. The usual annual spring surge was very slow to arrive and listing levels and market activity did not pick up until November and December and this can be seen in both sales volumes and value growth recovering in the last two months of the year. The annual rate of value growth recovered to 6.4 per cent

in November and 6.6 per cent in December and sales volumes for November lifted 21 per cent higher than in October. This was partly due to buyers delaying purchasing until the election result was decided and may also have been in part due to some buyers racing to purchase before the new foreign buyers’ ban in December. “The slight easing in LVR restrictions by the Reserve Bank due this month is likely to help improve activity and demand in the market as we move through the summer months,” said Rush. “Low interest rates, relatively high net migration and lack of supply means market drivers remain and we are likely to see values hold for the most part during 2018 in the main centres but the trend of lower rates of growth is likely to continue. “However, areas where investors were previously very active may continue to see values drop back where prices remain too high for first home buyers particularly in Auckland, Hamilton and surrounding districts.” “Some regional areas may continue to see stronger value growth than the main centres during the year.”

$1,047,179 at December 2016 to $1,051,762 at December 2017. Values rose 1.2 per cent over the past three months. Annual growth ticked up again across the Auckland region in the final quarter of 2017 with most areas seeing values rising again. The former Auckland City Council central suburbs saw values rise 2.2 per cent in the year to December and 1.6 per cent over the final quarter of the year with Auckland City - East continuing to rise above average for the region, up 3.6 per cent year on year and 2.8 per cent over the past three months, the average value there is now $1,575,133. Strong value growth also continues for Auckland City – Islands with the Waiheke Island market driving growth up 13.7 per cent in the year to

December and 6.6 per cent over the final quarter of the year. North Shore values also ticked up again rising 0.7 per cent in year on year and 2.6 per cent over the final three months of the year. Waitakere values also rose 1.0 per cent over the final three months of 2017 although values were down 1.9 per cent in the year since December 2016. Meanwhile, values are also increasing again in both Rodney and Franklin and particularly in Papakura which rose 2.2 per cent year on year and 2.6 per cent over the final three months of the year. Manukau bucked the general trend as values there dropped 1.0 per cent year on year and 0.3 per cent over the past three months.

Duo named in NZ Maori women’s side By Kelly Teed

But overriding the nerves is a happiness to be back on the pitch. “As soon as I had surgery, they [doctors] said you might not come back from this. “It’s amazing just to do what I love again.” It’s her first time playing in the New Zealand Maori Women’s team and in between getting to know each other, the team is busy getting their fitness up to scratch before the weekend match. The Trans-Tasman clash is at McLennan Park in Papakura this Saturday.

wo young local women are set to play for the New Zealand Maori Women’s Football team as they take on the Indigenous Australian Women’s side in an inaugural test series. Former Botany Downs Secondary School student Steph Trowill has been named in the team alongside former St Kentigern student Brooke Wylie. Trowill, of Ngati Ranginui, says she’s nervous about the match, which will be her second international fixture – and the first since suffering a crippling foot injury in 2014, forcing her out of action until last year.

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, January 18, 2018 — 19

HPCC take the win Devonport Domain played host to a nail-biting affair between North Shore and Howick Pakuranga, with the boys from Lloyd Elsmore just sneaking home in Auckland Premier Cricket’s Round 5 of the Jeff Crowe Cup (one day comp). North Shore batted first with captain Graeme Beghin (83) continuing his stellar run of form getting his side off to a fast start against an Aces-stacked Howick Pakuranga bowling attack. Howick Pak kept it tight in the middle overs putting the squeeze on Shore making life difficult for the batsmen. Danru Ferns (2-45) picked up the big wicket of Beghin to open the game up, with Shore sitting at 150/4 with 17 overs left in the innings. Tendai Chitongo (49) and Sam Hinds (43) combined well for Shore scoring at a run a ball to bring up the 250 for their side. Jamie Brown (2-45) bowled well late for Howick Pakuranga picking up a couple of wickets to help

restrict Shore to 263/7. Howick Pak started the chase well, however that good work was undone by Tim Duncraft (2-53) who came into the attack and dismissed both openers in back to back overs to give his side a sniff. David Winn (101*) came to the crease with the match delicately poised, Winn took the game by the scruff of the neck scoring at a run a ball to keep his side on track despite wickets falling at the other end. Sam Borland (58) teed off for Howick Pakuranga, clearing the fence four times in a quick-fire half century to bring his side closer to the target. Carl Brungar (1-53) dismissed Borland to keep Shore in the game and raise tensions in the Howick Pakuranga camp. Winn held his nerve getting his side home in the 49th over bringing up a well-deserved hundred as he hit the winning runs. ■■ North Shore 263/7 (G Beghin 83, T Chitongo 49, S Hinds 43) lost to Howick Pakuranga 264/6 (D Young 32, D Winn 101*, S Borland 58)
