Teachers are worried that Education Minister Chris Hipkins is misleading the public with comments about a $10,000 pay increase when the highest pay scale would only see around a $27 a week increase from this offer straight away. Times photo Wayne Martin

Teachers: It’s not enough

he energy at the Picton Centre on Monday morning was contagious with more than 350 local teachers gathered to discuss the possibility of further strike action. They had all spent the morning waving banners and placards on street corners around east Auckland campaigning for better pay, greater learning support and manageable workloads and class sizes. Now they had come together to weigh up the pros and cons of the Government’s latest offer. The offer gives teachers a 3 per cent pay increase over three years,

a new top pay step for teachers with degrees from November 2020, removal of the qualifications cap for teachers without degrees from November 2020 and a $500 lump sum for NZEI members only. The government have also announced an additional 600 learning support staff positions. However the teachers gathered in the Picton Centre seemed unified in their concern that the offer neglects to address many of the issues that have caused the crisis in primary education. Teachers said that the offer did not address the issues of recruitment and retention of teachers nor did it address issues of class sizes,

workload and classroom release time. They also said with around 2000 primary and intermediate schools, 600 learning support staff barely scratched the surface. “When will our schools see the benefits of these learning support staff?” was the burning question on every teacher’s lips. They also worried that Education Minister Chris Hipkins was misleading the public with comments about a $10,000 pay increase when, in reality, the highest pay scale would only see around a $27 a week increase from this offer straight away. Teachers were then given the

to force the Government to change the fiscal rules that it has committed to,” he said. “It will take a quantum jump in our fight, a tougher, harder campaign next year that is likely to require further and more intensive industrial action.” He encouraged the group to weigh up the pros and cons of both options and listen to what one another had to say. “We may not agree but every member’s point of view is valid. I encourage you all to consider and respect every view from every teacher here. It’s up to us what happens next.” ■ More stories pages 3 and 5

opportunity to share with their fellow teachers how they felt about the strike, about what is being offered by the Government and where they might want to go next. The passion and unity among the teachers from all the local primary schools was unmistakable. Tom Huskinson, a teacher at Botany Downs Primary School, encouraged the group of teachers to remember that it is “okay to want more than what [govt] are offering”. He said if they voted to reject the offer, this would mean a quantum leap in their fight. “We need to be clear that the Government has said there is no more money. To win, we will need

The Times greeted news that Aussie-owned Stuff will radically cut its staff numbers on its community papers with trepidation. However Times’ managing director Reay Neben reassures us this local 100%-Kiwi-owned paper is going to step up and continue to bring strong, local content

ver the past week I have reflected on the decision of Australian-owned news media company Stuff to make 19 community newspaper journalists redundant and appoint maybe three to four senior journalists to cover the 13 Auckland community newspaper titles affected. I am truly sorry for those journalists who have done their bit in Auckland’s communities but an Australian decision was made and out they go. This made me think of the dedicated people who owned these local papers in the past, people who were bought out when the large corporates competed for the local newspaper market. Over the years the corporates have closed so many of these papers all around New Zealand. Earlier this year Fairfax (now Stuff) closed 28 of their mastheads across New Zealand and in 25 of those areas, a stronger independent newspaper existed. Local news is the most read media in the country and to not have this local content but instead have readers contend with syndicated content across all of their community publications weakens the community it should serve. That is what Stuff is going to do. You can get the national news on so many platforms but how does a community get its view out into the public arena? Local papers are the life blood of the community where issues that mean

News bites Grants to local groups

A good representation of teachers from 32 primary and intermediate schools made their presence felt.

Teachers strike back By Farida Master

here were plenty of people tooting in support and cheering local school teachers from east Auckland as they took to the streets to protest at busy crossroads on Monday morning. It marked the first day of a rolling nationwide strikes this week after teachers voted overwhelmingly to take action in an effort to get smaller class sizes, more resources and significant pay rises. Armed with banners and placards, a good representation of teachers from 32 primary and intermediate schools made their presence felt in different areas including traffic lights at the corner of Ti Irirangi Dr and Ti Rakau Dr; the intersection of Aviemore

Drive and Pakuranga Road; the corner of Gossamer Drive and Pakuranga Road as well as the corner of Ti Rakau Drive and Pakuranga Road by the Plaza. New Zealand Educational Institute site representative Sandy Good says the offer that the Ministry of Education came up with is “so last minute and not good enough”. “They have just shuffled the chairs on the deck, it’s not really changing things for us. We are concerned about work load, about recruitment and retention, care for our special needs students. 600 extra teachers do not scratch the surface. We are not happy. “We have slipped back in salary in the last 25 years. Several teachers don’t even have enough

money to have a union affiliation, which is quite sad.” She says the Government’s offer gives them just $27 a week more. “It’s not much. We’ve lost two days of pay because of the strike action. People don’t realise that we teachers spend a lot of our own money for so many things that we need in the class,” says Good. “We have a teacher who is a fresh graduate and now doesn’t want to teach because of the poor salary and the poor working conditions. “So many teachers are moving out of Auckland, including me, because they can’t afford it. It’s one of the reasons why I am going to move out and give up teaching.”

New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT) awarded a number of grants in the Auckland region in October. Among them there were grants to Cockle Bay Tennis Club ($5000 towards salary of club administrator), Counties Manukau Sports Foundation ($1500 for venue hire cost for sports awards) and North Island Ice Skating Sub Association ($5000 towards coaching by international ice skating coach Manon Perron and ice hire at Avondale and Botany). The many Auckland gaming venues that contributed includes Barrel Inn in Howick, Celsius Bar in Flat Bush and Xtreme Botany in Northpark.

Baha’i celebrate

Louise Condly, a teacher at Somerville Intermediate School, says, “It’s high time we stop being a Cindrella portfolio for ministers. We are losing our best teachers because they are retiring young due to the increasing workload and no increase in pay.” A young teacher adds, “With the more experienced teachers retiring we don’t have many teachers to look up to or be mentored by. “Who is going to maintain the high standards of teaching? It gets too hard,” she says before heading to a meeting at Picton Centre in Howick where teachers and principals of local schools discussed their options. Another was held at Bucklands and Eastern Beach Memorial Hall.

Local Baha’i community sector members celebrated the birth of The Bab and Bahaullah, the twin manifestations with a get together at Bachoo Bookwalla residence in Dannemora followed by a picnic the next day at Cockle Bay Beach. The Festival of the Twin Birthdays or the Twin Holy Birthdays refers to two successive holy days in the Baha’i calendar that celebrate the births of two central figures of the Baha’i faith.

AMETI Eastern Busway Construction starts 2019

The build is coming,

What’s Your PLAN?

The AMETI Eastern Busway Project build will start in March/April 2019. This new transformational transport project will provide better public transport connections, faster journey times, more travel choice and improved safety. During construction there will be some disruption to major routes - particularly during morning and afternoon peak traffic times, around Lagoon Drive and the Panmure end of Pakuranga Road. Sitting in traffic isn’t fun, but by working together and all doing our bit, we can help minimise congestion.

“The families in our neighbourhood have organised a walking school bus to take the kids to school.” Aleki Palu, School Teacher

Public Transport, Walking & Cycling: Additional bus services are being arranged to help provide better travel options during construction and further information will be provided shortly.

Lessen Car Use:

Whether it’s carpooling with friends, shopping local or taking the walking school bus you can save on fuel, and help reduce traffic congestion.

Alternate Travel Route:

If you’re traveling into town, take Waipuna Bridge or Highbrook Drive, to avoid the traffic on Panmure Bridge. Check out Googlemaps to find alternative options.

New work schedule:

This may not be an option for you, but many organisations are encouraging ‘flexi-time’ with their staff. By commuting outside of peak hour traffic, you can avoid the congestion and arrive fresh to start your day.

Let’s get East Auckland Moving

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, November 15, 2018 — 5

Principal: This is not about greed On Monday November 12, Auckland primary school teachers went on strike for the second time as part of a rolling regional strike protesting low pay, overcrowded classrooms and lack of support staff. The strike comes after the government’s latest offer of a three per cent pay increase over three years. They gathered on more than 100 street corners across Auckland. Justine Driver, Sunnyhills Primary School Principal has adapted an honest and real account of why the current offer from the Government isn’t good enough.

t is with some sadness that I read and hear the media reports about the offer that has been presented to the teachers. Much of the reporting is, in my view, skewed to sound much better than the reality. Comments like “most teachers will receive a $10,000 salary increase” are very misleading. For example, a teacher who is joining the profession after spending 3-4 years at university – will receive an increase of around $19 per week from this offer straight away. A teacher who has been teaching for over 10 years – and has a full degree – will receive around $27 a week extra from this offer straight away. Secondary school teachers currently receive 10 days a term release – this enables them to prepare lessons, work with parents, mark assessments and participate in professional learning. Primary school teachers receive 2 days a term. In the last offer – primary teachers were offered a very small increase of 12 minutes extra release – in the new offer – this pitiful increase has

been removed completely. The release of 600 extra “learning support” staff is great – but there is very little information about what this might look like in reality. There are over 2500 schools in New Zealand. Comments like “the police accepted the same offer of 3%” are also very disappointing. While we are not trying to compare roles – the police are paid while they train – our teachers often start their career with massive student loans from 3-4 years of full time university study. The starting wage for a police officer is currently over $56,000 – plus allowances, and overtime. The current starting salary for a teacher is $47,980 with no overtime rates, or standard allowances. While I absolutely value and appreciate our police force – and they earn every cent – it is not fair to suggest that because police accepted 3% – so should teachers. Today I have been at school and I was not alone. Several teachers were there too working part of the day, not to mention the teachers who were working from home.

I know this because I have teachers replying to messages sent and from their personal cell phones, arranging meetings after hours, and spending their evenings at discos, meetings and cultural/school events (when required). I have teachers arriving at school at 7.20am to start their day and others who stay till 6pm (or after). So reports of 9-3, with 12 weeks holiday are simply ridiculous. My teachers work huge hours, and give up time with their own families. I know from all the emails and documents I receive from my staff well into the evenings and weekends – that they continue to work long hours at home. Research studies show burnout in principals and senior leaders at an all time high compared to other professions. Not to mention the public defamation and slander in some communities where unsatisfied parents prefer to raise concerns via social media than through correct school channels. Luckily, our Sunnyhills community knows they can always

A teacher who has been teaching for over 10 years – and has a full degree – will receive around $27 a week extra from this offer straight away, says Sunnyhills Primary School Principal Justine Driver. Times photo Wayne Martin

approach me personally to hear your feedback and I create opportunities in which to facilitate listening too! We cannot expect everything straight away – but please believe me when I say this is not about greed for a bigger pay rise. The conditions around classroom release and extra support for students have been ignored completely. In fact, we have less release in this offer than in the last. We have students in our classes TODAY that deserve a better deal – they are not arriving in 2020.

I totally understand that the strike is a hassle for our community – we would much rather be at work too. My teachers cannot afford to lose another day’s pay – and know you can’t either! But we are simply at a loss of how to be heard. We will spend our strike day out in the community trying to be heard. Please support us – as this is proving to be a very disappointing and stressful negotiation. ■■ Adapted with permission from Feilding Intermediate’s Principal Diane Crate. ADVERTORIAL JH14450A

New Director at Churton Hart and Divers E

stablished in 1903, Churton Hart and Divers Ltd., Barristers and Solicitors has for many years been serving the entire east Auckland community from its offices based in Highland Park.

The reputable law firm that specialises in property law has now been joined by Alistair van Schalkwyk as a director, alongside co-directors Michele Lu and Les Divers. Alistair brings with him expertise in franchising and commercial law. Alistair, also a Howick local, was a partner of a boutique practice based in the downtown Auckland CBD. Alistair has degrees in both Commerce and Law and is an author for the New Zealand Franchising legal precedents for Thomson Reuters, a well-known international publisher. We spoke to Alistair and Les about the exciting future of Churton Hart & Divers.

It was at a function around four years ago that Alistair had a chance meeting with Les Divers, who has been with the firm since 1975, and this meeting sowed the seed. “I had been commuting into the city for the last six years and with the birth of our third child earlier this year I was looking to join a local law firm which had a strong sense of community and valued long-term client relationships, as I do, so I reached out to Les and Michele earlier this year and here we are,” he says sitting in the meeting room of the law firm at 26A Aviemore Drive, Highland Park. “Luzette Marrett, who worked with me downtown has also joined the team at Churton Hart & Divers. Luzette grew up in Howick and can now walk to work! Her background includes franchising also,

as well as asset protection measures, family and testamentary disputes, relationship agreements and commercial agreements,” he says. Alistair is looking forward to bringing his skills to the residents of Howick and Pakuranga: “A franchise agreement typically has around 50-60 pages. Because we are specialists in the field, we can identify the key issues for our clients, taking just a fraction of the time a general practitioner would take. This enables us to provide quality cost-effective advice. Similarly, this applies when assisting our clients with the sale or purchase of their business.” With the addition of Alistair and Luzette’s franchising and commercial background, Churton Hart and Divers are now strong in both property and commercial transactional matters.

Talking about the legacy of Churton Hart and Divers, Les says the firm has been at the present location since the 80’s and has many intergenerational clients. “We have in our deeds safe original land grants signed by Governor George Grey of some of the MacLean land in Howick. I recently presented to the descendants of one of the first Fencible families records and original baptism certificates that dated back more than 200 years which had been held by us since the firm’s establishment. The firm has some clients where it is now acting for the fifth and sixth generation of the same family.” “Churton Hart and Divers is a well-respected property specialist firm and acts on a significant percentage of all property settlements in the eastern suburbs. Michele and I are excited that Alistair and

Luzette have joined the team, and we can expand the services on offer to our clients,” he says. After years of Alistair commuting to the city where his former office was located, the father-of-three young children says he enjoys the fact that practically everyone in the firm lives locally and can go home for lunch! They couldn’t be more local than that! Other changes at the firm include the appointment of Kylie Osborne as the office manager following the retirement of Teresa Bright who was with the firm for

nearly 20 years. The team at Churton Hart & Divers wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2019. 26A Aviemore Drive, Highland Park. Ph 09-5339476, DDI 09-3088071 www.propertylawyer.co.nz/

Real family, modern theatre By ERINA SMYTHE

irector Laurie Mills has assembled a fine cast and crew for Howick Little Theatre’s final play of the year “I’ll Leave It To You” is the brilliant Noel Coward’s first (and rarely performed) play. Set in the authentic drawingroom of the Dermott family’s home just after the end of the First World War, it features a family of youthful and rather idle siblings who are ill-equipped to earning a decent living and discover that they are currently financially ruined. Their only hope is the expected arrival of their dubious rich uncle from South America to save them from, to their minds, disaster. Mr. Mills has created a real family, using modern theatre techniques, with his mainly very young

REVIEW I’LL LEAVE IT TO YOU

Genre: Comedy Written by: Noel Coward Directed by: Laurie Mills Where: Howick Little Theatre, Lloyd Elsmore Park, Pakuranga Season: November 10 – December 1, 8pm Matinees: November 11 & 18, 2pm cast, all of whom are surprisingly similar in appearance. They are all most able actors, bringing a youthful exuberance and energy to their roles with immaculate concentration throughout. Anna Baird (the matriarch of the

Dermott family), Elise Rechtschaffen (Sylvia) and Hamish Regan (Bobbie) gave the play its centre and in their more than capable hands, we - as the audience – were allowed to relax and enjoy this delicious comedy from the start. Anna and Elise gave stellar performances, both characters grounded in a truth which sometimes can be difficult to achieve in a Coward play. Hamish (Noel Coward’s alterego I believe) gave an excellent performance, Bobbie’s youthful confidence and bravado played to perfection. Hazel Buckingham (Evangeline), Nick Lloyd (Oliver) and Amy Guthrie (Joyce, the youngest) all acquitted themselves admirably, their timing and pacing was spoton. Amy succeeded in finding a

typical ‘Angela Brazil’ schoolgirl in Joyce. The eagerly anticipated Uncle Daniel was played in excellent fashion by Ian Milnes, who never missed an opportunity to entertain – allowing his audience to see into his contriving mind. He brought a great energy and commitment to his role as the likeable and slightlycrumpled loving uncle. Linda Kerfoot (Mrs Crombie) and Freya Gander (her daughter Faith) also added to the quality of this first-rate production, giving the audience an insight into the way in which the upper classes in the UK behaved at the time, almost imitating Oscar Wilde’s Lady Bracknell and her daughter in character: money and status being of such importance. The set changes were handled

AMETI Eastern Busway picks up pace The next stages in the AMETI Eastern Busway project have now begun, and you will soon start to see a lot of activity along Lagoon Drive and Pakuranga Road between the Panmure Bridge and the Pakuranga Plaza. To make way for the dedicated busway between Pakuranga and Panmure, 61 houses owned by the Council are being demolished over the next few months and space cleared to prepare for construction. The tenders process has also

begun, with the Council calling for submissions to take on the $100 million project next year. They plan to make a further announcement about this by the end of 2018. This is an exciting time for Pakuranga as AMETI and the Reeves Road Flyover aim to reduce travel times out of the area for both everyday drivers and those who use public transport, but it will bring with it some challenges. The Flyover is due to begin

construction in 2020, and consultation for this is already underway. The proximity of these two projects will inevitably result in congestion and traffic management issues, and Auckland Transport (AT) have a number of options they are working through to help with traffic flow during these construction phases. I’ve had preliminary discussions with AT in recent weeks to talk about the unavoidable problems that will arise while the Busway

and Flyover are constructed, and to learn more about their proposals to deal with them. I am due to meet with them again next week. I will be working closely with AT to ensure that whatever is implemented creates the least amount of disruption to our everyday travel needs. It’s also important for residents and motorists to have their say on the next stages of the project, which includes the Reeves Road Flyover and associated

with great aplomb by the Dermott’s Scottish retainer, Mrs Griggs, played by Catherine Syme. In fact, so good were these transitions, Miss Syme got a round of applause after each one. David Gifford’s set was a perfect typical English drawing-room, beautifully lit by David Inglis. I will simply add that I thought the costumes by Judy Rankin were beautiful. Altogether I must thank Mr Mills for an excellent theatrical experience and what a great way to laugh one’s way into the busy Christmas season. Think about going for an enjoyable night out, literally on the doorstep. ■ Book now at www.iticket.co.nz/ events/2018/nov/ill-leave-it-toyou or call 361-1000.

Air Accident book draws relevant lessons E

rebus National Memorial initiator, airline historian, and aviation chaplain Rev Dr Richard Waugh is launching his latest aviation book, Shot Over into the Shotover – Lessons from a New Zealand Air Accident. The new book recounts an unusual accident involving his late father Brian Waugh with de Havilland Dominie ZK-AKT forced down into Queenstown’s Shotover River, due to engine problems. The subsequent intrigue involved engine reliability issues, an inadequate accident investigation and recounts how Waugh, a licensed aircraft engineer as well as an experienced pilot (with WWII service in No.75 (NZ) Squadron), happened by chance to inspect one of the engines being dismantled for overhaul. What he discovered led him to relentlessly advocate for a proper investigation. The late 1960s accident has continuing relevance for today’s aviation industry. The book includes hard-hitting commentary by several well-informed New Zealand experts, including a forensic engineer, a tourist airline operator, and airline pilots’ union president, who all question whether current New Zealand air accident investigation pro-

cesses have improved enough over the years. Included in the Shotover book for the first time, is a short history of the origins and development of air accident investigation in New Zealand and insightful learnings from some controversial airliner accidents, including the 1979 Mt. Erebus accident. Dr Waugh comments in the book, “Lessons from the past are important as aviation safety continues to be paramount. Professional and robust investigative processes must always follow every air accident in New Zealand. Has this objective yet to be fully realised?” In regard to past inadequate air accident reports he further adds, “There is no place in air accident investigation for pride, secrecy or arrogance. The search for truth and a just investigative culture must be paramount and unrelenting.” Shot Over into the Shotover will be launched at the MOTAT aviation hangar, Meola Road, Western Springs, on Sunday November 18, 7.30pm and at Tauranga Airport (Classic Flyers) on Wednesday evening November 21, 7pm. All are welcome. ■■ Contact: Rev Dr Richard Waugh QSM Ph 022 5339400 or 09 533-9400.

Kinder m8 puts play Sculpture trail back in teachers’ day brightens school S C ADVERTORIAL KC13920

mart technology is revolutionising early childhood education and Kinder m8 aims to focus the teachers’ attention back with the tamariki rather than the book work.

Digital timesaver “Kinder m8 can perform complicated tasks, but we’ve kept it simple and teachers, managers and parents just need to give it a go to learn the features,” Niroj says. Paper-based admin and planning systems are quickly replaced and improved – with management summaries streamlining daily records and compliance requirements. Niroj launched Kinder m8 in Australia where it has successfully operated for more than four years and the software has evolved as teachers and parents gave feedback. The newest addition is the ability to record sunscreen applications, so parents know their children were protected.

concrete and grass and felt they could do better. The goal was simple – to enhance the school environment and make the school grounds more inviting to visitors. And the result was a schoolwide project to build a public sculpture trail filled with colourful creations that each told a unique story. Helped by teachers, parents,

and school management, each class came up with a design and created their own permanent sculpture for display in the school grounds. On Wednesday evening the students got to proudly show off their hard work for the first time. The hope is that the students’ legacy in the form of this sculpture trail will be there for many years to come.

Founded by Macleans College graduate, Niroj Sri, Kinder m8 supports ECE centres’ communication between staff and families, planning and record-keeping. “The multi-featured tool has all your admin solutions in one place, including Te Whariki planning, learning stories, daily charts, messaging, parent engagement, sign-in/ out and reporting,” says Niroj. “Kinder m8 is cloud-based and can be used on any device, at any location by teachers, managers and parents. Records can’t get lost.” Parents’ private access With a smart device, parents aren’t just spectators, they’re also contributors and can have conversations with teachers. “We have a secure and private app that lets teachers and parents see all the cute stuff that we loved sharing on social media but now, everyone is more aware of privacy.” Kinder m8 supports secure communication and with passwords, only approved users can access a child’s records, stories and photos.

Woah ... no mo bro? You can still help your Kiwi brothers Complete the Movember Mensus survey and help find out how Kiwi men are really feeling (yes, there are prizes)

believes the Mensus is a way to firstly get men to acknowledge how they’re feeling. “We have deliberately crafted a few laughs into some of the questions, this is based on a cultural insight that humour is a way in, to

start an important conversation. “Sometimes men aren’t even aware they’re thinking or feeling a certain way before it’s too late. Sadness, depression and anxiety sometimes creep up on us but the Mensus aims to provide New Zea-

Online, the Mensus will respond to participants on completion, offering tailored messages to help start a conversation, or get help depending on the answers selected. Men around the country will be able to answer the Mensus from November 1 and some of the nation’s most well-known men have already put their hands up to be among the first to complete it, including; Jeremy Wells, Matt Heath, the boys from Kiwi hip-hop collective SWIDT, All Black Brodie Retallick, New Zealand’s First Bachelor and Entrepreneur Art Green, and Rugby Legend Josh Kronfeld to name a few. At the end of the month, Movember will make the results and insights available to the nation, with a special copy presented to the Ministry of Health. Dunne says it’s important the New Zealand Government has the opportunity to review the Mensus data. “Our report, direct from New Zealand men, will arrive alongside the findings of the New Zealand Mental Health Inquiry, also due at the end of the month.” ■■ Complete the Movember Mensus here: www.movembermensus. co.nz

ew Zealand men are famous for keeping their cards close to their chest, not giving anything away, holding their emotions at bay — but this is a problem, because every day in New Zealand, a Kiwi man commits suicide. So, this year, Movember NZ will be giving New Zealand men an outlet, with zero judgment: a Census or what they’re calling, a Mensus (see what they did there?) Because sharing or confronting an issue alone can help prevent men from committing suicide. Movember is asking men to answer several fun but important questions about their own mental wellbeing. ■■ Questions include: 1. How do you see yourself? A. Bit of a dropkick, B. Room for improvement, C. People seem to like me, D. I like who I am, or E. I’m the man! 2. Which stresses you out the most? A. Money, B. Work stuff, C. Health, D. The Warriors, or E. Relationships The idea behind the Mensus, is to understand and reveal what the men of New Zealand are actually thinking and feeling, to bring to the surface what’s a very real problem in New Zealand — that our men are taking their own lives.

Kiwis soar to big victory H

aving avoided a 3-0 whitewash by convincingly winning the third rugby league test 34-0 at Leeds against England on Monday, the Kiwis finally learned to fly. Not that they were disgraced in losing the first two narrowly but they lacked the creativity man of the match halfback Kodi Nikorima displayed so beautifully in this final stanza. It’s a pity other Kiwi backs don’t have the draw and perfectly timed pass that comes so naturally to Nikorima although each has other gifts. A sizzling 40m break by the halfback and a return pass from Shaun Johnson secured Nikorima his try, Nikorima’s passes set up others for Isaac Liu and Jesse Bromwich and his towering cross-kick

notched another for rangy left wing Ken Maumalo. It was also Johnson’s best match of the series with his muchimproved tactical kicking keeping England pinned in their own half. Full marks to tough props Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Bromwich for spearheading the charge and Kevin Proctor for leading a relentless forward defence. While there was disappointment in failing to win the series, it should be remembered injury prevented Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Isaac Luke and Tohu Harris from making the trip. However new captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Brandon Smith performed superbly in replacing Tuivasa-Sheck and Luke at fullback and hooker respectively. Sadly centre Joseph Manu failed

to reproduce the brilliance he showed in the 26-24 triumph over Australia earlier in the year. However he remains a bright prospect. Meanwhile having scrapped home 16-15 in the rain against England at Twickenham, the All Blacks prepare to face dangerous Ireland in Dublin where coach Steve Hansen believes champion halfback Conor Murray will return from a fivemonth injury break to partner Jonathan Sexton. Blessed with a strong, mobile pack and outstanding loosies Sean O’Brien and CJ Stander, world No 2 Ireland will be eager to knock the All Blacks off their perch after going 1-all in their previous two clashes. They are unlikely to squander the 15-point lead gallant England did and in 21-year-old Jordan Lamour they have found an attacking full-

back possessed of Damian McKenzie’s penetrative talent. It was courageous McKenzie who flew across for the tourists only try at Twickers from a sweetly-timed Beauden Barrett inside pass, with Barrett kicking the conversion and adding two penalties and a drop goal. Hopefully the selectors will recall that the backline only started to function when Ryan Crotty replaced an injured Sonny Bill Williams. Williams has been unlucky with injuries since the 2016 Rio Olympics but, at 33, his muscular body obviously hasn’t been able to take the knocks it once could. While arguments will rage about Sam Underhill’s try that wasn’t, England’s failure to take two kickable shots at goal cost them a rare

Agnew’s Angle win against the All Blacks. However bearing in mind England had15 players unavailable, the All Blacks won’t rate them cheaply at the 2019 Rugby World Cup despite them finishing only fifth in the Six Nations, won by Ireland. A chief contributor and lineout poacher in their brave comeback win was powerful Brodie Retallick. Despite him having little recent rugby, he remains the world’s best lock. Although not possessing the same attacking thrust, Sam Whitelock is a masterly lineout exponent and relentless tackling machine to make him the perfect locking partner. ■ Ivan Agnew is an awardwinning sports writer and author

he says she has loved Christmas since she was in her mother’s womb. Twenty-one-year-old Maxine Fourie thinks that being a Cookie Time Christmas cookie seller is the best job in the world. It’s a hard one to get handpicked for the job. Out of the 3000 who apply, only 120 are selected. “It’s going to be seven days a week, 14 hours a day job for me — a oncein-a-lifetime experience to sell and deliver Christmas cookies to businesses in the area,” says the journalism student who is keen to pay off her university loan with the dollars she earns. A resident of Somerville, Maxine says her goal is to sell more than 5000 cookie buckets. She is encouraged by the fact that some tertiary students in the past have made up to $14,000 in the short time leading up to Christmas. Every cookie seller has a designated area outlined for them. Maxine’s designated zone is Mt Smart area and she says she has hit the ground running.

“During the daytime I visit businesses in the area and after office hours I park my car at the top of the road, do it up with tinsel and play Christmas carols to create the right atmosphere to sell cookies,” she says. The cookie-selling campaign starts seven weeks preceding Christmas. “I love the idea of being my own boss and running my own business. I get to decide what time I am going to work, do my own accounts, stock take and be part of an iconic business that has been running since 1985,” says Maxine who is off to book a big order with a corporate client. “We have five flavours of cookies, including a new flavour Chocoholicbite-sized cookies that comes in a reusable bucket,’ she says. Cookie Time aims to raise $200,000 for charity from this year’s sale. The proceeds will go to KidsCan and the Dyslexia Foundation. “I believe that St John also does a fantastic job so I’m also going to make a personal donation to them from my earnings,” says Maxine. “It a long day in the sun with no bathroom facilities,” she laughs, “but then it’s always fun to give back.”

n estimated 600 people turned out on a rainy Sunday for a special commemorative service on Stockade Hill to mark the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day. Hosted by the Howick RSA and Howick Local Board, it was one of several services held across the city. A new plaque was also installed on the Cenotaph to mark the occasion and speeches were given by local board chair David Collings and the president of the RSA Ray Sangster. Ahead of the service Mr Collings says it was important to not only remember and commemorate the occasion but to also to celebrate an event that marked the end of the First World War.

From the most tongue-tingling South Indian cuisine to henna tattoos, fancy footwork with some cool Bollywood and hip hop moves, more than 100 people had a blast celebrating Diwali at the Matta residence on Saturday evening. Weeks of dance practice was put in by around six couples and their children who entertained the guests with non-stop dance performances.

The guests also had a chance to have a taste of the fancy cupcakes baked by reality show star, flight attendant Sonali Thakur from The Great Kiwi Bake Off currently showing on TVNZ 2. Adding to the eclectic backdrop was a modified antique cycle rickshaw from Bangladesh borrowed from one of the Kiwi neighbours that added to the ambience and was a perfect photo prop.

The Mattas had thrown open the doors to their home in Botany to friends, families, neighbours and colleagues for the annual Diwali celebration. Both Mesha and her husband Haresh, along with daughter Diya, also a dancer with Neverland Dance Studio who competes internationally, were the perfect hosts who made sure everyone had a rocking Diwali celebration.

Feedback

Questions over Cascades Rd changes Council proposes to install a traffic light in Cascades Rd at the eastern entrance to the roundabout at Aviemore Drive. The aim appears to be when westbound traffic is stopped, traffic from the bridge heading towards Botany Road can negotiate the roundabout without the hold-ups which presently occur at peak times because of the give way rules. But when the stopped traffic gets the green light and moves off, they would still have to stop again within 30 metres or so, and give way to traffic exiting from Aviemore Drive and turning toward the bridge. That will be very frustrating. There is also a proposal to abolish the present free left hand turn from Cascades Rd. onto Pakuranga Rd. At the moment, cars waiting in Cascades Road’s left-hand lane can exit onto Pakuranga Rd when (a) Pakuranga Rd. traffic is light (b) when red lights stop westbound traffic and allow eastbound cars etc. to turn right into Cascades Rd. and (c) when the green light allows cars wanting to turn right to proceed. Cutting those options down to just the one of queuing in the right hand lane and turning either left or right on a green light will result in even longer queues building up in Cascades Rd than currently happens. Council has called for comments on its proposals. Motorists likely to be affected should take up their offer.

The lessons of Armistice Day The Armistice Day commemoration service in my church was very moving, so were those broadcasted over the radio or on TV. However, were lessons learnt from it? In his fourth form year at secondary school – about 14 years of age – our son went with his school on a Social Studies trip to France. We were told about some the places they will be visiting, especially the war graves. He was then tasked with looking for the graves of a few relatives who never returned from the war. Armed with all the information that his grandparents sourced from the War Graves Commission, our

son went on his trip with great excitement. Upon his return from the trip, he was such a different person - rather subdued and sensible. When we asked about his trip and the results of his search for the graves of the relatives, he just about had tears in his eyes, as he told us that some of those soldiers that died were only 15

years old! He matured rather quickly and I consider the trip very worthwhile. I can understand why the Canadians were sending their young people to Vimy Ridge War Museum to take on roles as tourist guides – reality matures them. Margaret Scott, Pakuranga

the current action to Save Stockade Hill Views from the destruction of inappropriately zoned housing development. Not only are the 360 degree views spectacular, but this specific site’s historical significance as part of the founding of Auckland is unique, and its subsequent memorials to the local fallen in both World Wars are too important for the city to ignore. Howick could become an increasingly significant town for tourists to visit, and access to a display of its 171 year history surrounded by vast gulf and twincoastal views would enhance this experience.

■■ Auckland Transport replies:

Cascades Road, Botany Downs - Roundabout metering signals Proposal status: open until 16 November 2018 We’re proposing changes in your area We are proposing to introduce roundabout metering signals on the eastern leg of Cascades Road at the intersection with Aviemore Drive. The changes would also include: ■■ Installation of in-road vehicle

queue detection on both legs of Cascades Road. ■■ Installation of broken yellow lines along the southern side of Cascades Road to the east of the intersection, including parking removal. ■■ Addition of a second westbound lane on Cascades Road to the east of the intersection. Why the changes are needed The proposal aims to improve the balance of traffic at the roundabout during peak periods and to reduce excessive queuing. Currently, heavy traffic on the eastern leg of Cascades Road is mak-

ing it difficult for drivers from other legs to enter the roundabout during peak hour traffic. Traffic metering would activate only when queues begin to develop and would better filter the number of vehicles entering the roundabout from the eastern leg of Cascades Road, creating gaps for vehicles from other legs.

This week was all about celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights where teachers collaborated with parents and whanau to plan and participate in activities and events with children. Moulding oil lamps with clay was a therapeutic activity which attracted lots of children as they took time to decorate them with paint and patterns. Ayaan’s mother, Sheetal, did

henna art on the palms of little children. Young Kelly had the theory that henna art can be done with felt pens too, as she did some on Kaiako Sucheta’s hand. Traditional dances and Indian music added more flavour to the celebration as older siblings performed for the young ones. Adding a special flavour to the festive celebration was ‘gulab jamun’, an Indian desert and ‘aloo paratha’, flat bread with potato filling, which was cooked over two days. Budding little chefs joined hands with grandmas and mothers for an Indian culinary experience. There was an assortment of mini samosas and Indian snacks as few families joined the tamariki (children) for lunch.

Primary launches SVA programme By Therese Henkin

Student Volunteer Army’s (SVA) Primary School Programme has been officially launched at Somerville Intermediate by Auckland Mayor Phil Goff. The programme, initiated last week, will see more than 32,000 school pupils become one of the SVA’s ‘Community Guardians’, by undertaking volunteer projects to improve their local environment, neighbourhood and public spaces – anything they and their teachers have identified as an area in need of action. Projects include hosting discos for local elderly residents, cleaning beaches, testing tsunami sirens, compiling packs for refugee families, and making blankets and books for foster children. New World, which supports the programme, is also giving each of the 1000 school-based teams a $50 New World voucher to spend on food and drink, to ensure everyone is well fed and watered. It has also donated $50,000 worth of groceries to the SVA’s Spring campaign to help hundreds of communities around New Zealand. Also providing morning tea for the official launch at Somerville Intermediate was Brendon Jones, owner of New World

Howick, who says he couldn’t wait to get in behind this project. “An army marches on its stomach and little ones especially need good food and healthy drinks to keep energised as they support their local communities. I love how kids are leading the charge and giving up their own time to do something special – we are so proud to be part of this,” says Jones. Sam Johnson, the inspirational leader of the Student Volunteer Army, says with the Community Guardians initiative now in its second year, it’s heartening to have the additional support of

New World stores nationwide. “In just eight years, the SVA has grown from just a few hundred university students in Canterbury into a national movement involving tens of thousands of Kiwi kids of all ages,” says Johnson. “All armies need feeding, though, and thanks to New World’s support, our Community Guardians will have the energy they need to make a massive difference during our spring campaign.” ■■ For more information visit https://sva.org.nz/school-program/

HPCC premiers take the points By JIM ALLNATT

ill Walsh declared late in the first day in the match against East Coast Bays at Windsor Park with the Marie Raos Ray White Howick Pakuranga Premier Men scoring 197/6, 33 runs ahead of their opponents’ 164, having secured first innings points. ECBs resumed at 6/0 on the second day and quickly found itself in trouble at 12/2. Forced to settle the innings down and regain lost ground, the ECB middle order

scored at a slow rate although the rate sped up later in the innings and East Coast Bays declared at 255/8 leaving Howick Pakuranga 223 to win in 40 overs. Oddly enough two bowlers were both on hat tricks when Adam Jones dismissed Langridge 80 and Harrison 48 in successive balls and Taine Jolley followed later in the innings bowling Briggs and Schierhout. Unfortunately Louis Delport (who is well known to the Howick lads), survived the hat trick ball but

Jones ran out a batsmen when they tried to run two off the same ball. Adam took 3/57 and Taine 2/28. Although Howick Pakuranga had already lost a key batsman due to a severe hand injury, the side made a real effort to chase the target down. Daniel Young 76 and Donovan Grobbelaar 59 took the score to 150/3 and an outright looked on, but when these two went, Howick set about saving the match with Keiren Mackenzie and Rudi Botadra surviving the remaining overs without difficulty.

Next week is a big day for the Premiers when they meet old rivals Papatoetoe with the Hellaby-Hunt Cup at stake for the winner. Papatoetoe and Howick Pakuranga have a history of working together since 1965 with combined youth competitions and, until 1975, Howick was a feeder club to Papatoetoe Premiers under the District Scheme and now the best youth players combine into Manukau Districts age grade teams to play at Christmas in Auckland’s Regional Tournaments. Many play-

ers involved on Saturday have come up through the teams which puts a little spice into the match. ■ Andrew Morrison, Matt McEwan and Dale Phillips were all selected for Auckland A to play an interstate T 20 tournament in Sydney. We had to replace three players as per ACA rules. It made life hard for the club but with the Prems winning first innings, the Reserves Outright by 7 wickets and the Thirds outright by 5 wickets we came out of it pretty well.

Skilton stars with BBAFC youngsters Stephanie Skilton, who is a current NZ Football Fern and captain of the Auckland national league side, was a hit at a session for girls at Bucklands Beach Football Club on Friday. Sander Waterland, Director of Football at Bucklands Beach Football Club, said: “We had around 20 talented girls coming down for the session and Stephanie was great with the kids. “She is a great role model for the young girls who one day would love to be like Stephanie. Lots of kids had their ball signed by Stephanie and took photos with her and we heard lots of positive feedback about her. We wanted to promote Football for woman in the area and for our football club.” SAMS_FordFocusHalfPage-1118-PrintEdited.pdf

he dormant Auckland residential property market awoke in October, with higher sales, selling prices and new listings. “In comparison with where the market has been for the past nine months, October trading was extremely active,” said Peter Thompson, managing director of Barfoot & Thompson. “Spring arrived, and the market came alive. “The average sales price for the month at $937,277 was the highest this year and up 1.5 per cent on the average for the previous three months. “The same trend is there with the median price, which at $860,000 for the month was also the highest it has been this year (along with that for March) and 3.9 per cent higher than the average for the previous three months. “In part the increase can be attributed to the traditional upturn that comes with spring, but there was also a new found confidence that prices were not going to retreat. Buyers put aside their concerns of the past few months and made the decision to move ahead with their buying intentions. “Sales numbers for the month at 884 was the highest in October for three years, and close to a quarter higher than last month and close to 40 per cent higher

than for the same month last year. “Available property for sale also reached the highest it has been for the past 6 years with total listings at month end reaching 4848, and new listings for the month hitting 2046, the highest in a month for 19 months. “Sales of property were sound across all price segments, with 11 per cent of sales being for under $500,000, 32 per cent between $1 million and $2m and nearly 5

per cent being for over $2m. “The revival of the Auckland housing market is not a signal that the market is ready for another burst of rising prices. “What it does signal is that residential property is set for strong trading through to Christmas.” By contrast, the rural and lifestyle market experienced a quiet month’s trading. “Prices remained steady with strong listing numbers, particularly in Orewa and Pukekohe.”

New name, same trusted service and team

ADVERTORIAL JH14455A

ad Mike and his team at Howick Tyres & Alignment have changed their name to Cooper Tyres Howick. But you’ll find that little else has changed. Mad Mike (Mike Johnson) and his team at Cooper Tyres will still be bringing the local community the best tyres in the business. They will be offering the same experience and customer centric approach to business you know and love them for. “It’s just a new name, but we have the same team and the same old-fashioned courtesy and good service as we always have,” says Mike. Mike prides himself on 54 years in the industry, giving the best service and consistent prices to the people of Howick. He has managed Cooper Tyres since 1981, then under the original name of Howick Tyres & Alignment, before him and his wife Carol decided to purchase the business and make it their own in 1986. The workshop is always well presented, with extra focus on making customers feel welcome and comfortable while they wait. And while Mike is a fan of the occasional prank which is how he came to be nicknamed by clients as Mad Mike, the couple never compromise on professionalism. Their commitment has always been to give back to their community, including supporting local charities such as Bellyful East Auckland, which provides meals for families with newborn babies or young children who may be suffering an illness. And their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed by locals. Now Mike often works with the third generation of local families he began dealing with in the 1980s. “Often young ones will say to me,

their grandfather recommended my business to them,” Mike explains. These comments make the community-minded Mike, a born and bred Howickian, very proud. Mike and Carol are assisted by James Butler who has worked there for nine years and Blake Johnson who has worked there for three years. They are always there to greet you with a friendly smile. Major stockists of Continental tyres, Cooper Tyres can get in most of the type of tyres required – all at competitive prices and in a short time frame. “My priority is about making it easy for our community to keep themselves safe on the road, and the biggest part of that is ensuring their tyres are always in top condition.” This is why Mike is urging the community to book in for a warrant of fitness before the silly season. The Howick Tyres team will also check your tyres pressures and even pump up tyres completely free of charge. “I recommend this check every six week,” he explains. Cooper Tyres Howick also has a great selection of ‘mad wheel deals’ just in time for Christmas.

Volvo plays it safe, and young By Alistair Davidson

olvo has been busy trying to shake its reputation for building safe but conservative cars. It’d much rather be known for ‘safe and exciting’ or even ‘safe and interesting’, and in recent years the Sweden based, Chinese owned company has been heading in that direction. XC40, Volvo’s first small SUV, oozes quirky and cool. Which is understandable because it’s aimed at a young, green, techsavvy buyer who wants a fun city car, not the box that it came in. XC40 has the black flared wheel arches that scream Volvo XC, and the trademark ‘Thor’s

hammer’ headlight styling, but the rest is new and fresh. Same goes inside the roomy cabin. Although it’s a case of less is more, the understated design is packed with neat features. An optional ‘origins’ inlay in the doors and fascia is an embossed map of Gothenburg in Sweden, Volvo’s home. Clever storage areas are everywhere, and there’s a lift-out waste bin in the centre console. Shopping bag hooks on the backs of the rear seats are nothing new, but the boot floor has a layer that folds up concertina style, with built-in hooks for small takeaways bags. Ergonomically it’s a delight. The centre touch screen looks like a big iPad and works like one

too, with most of the car’s interior functions and drive settings accessed with a swipe and a tap. This writer is about as far removed from the target audience as you can get, yet the menus proved easy to navigate. Initially, the entry-level turbocharged 2.0-litre (140kW, 300Nm) T4 front-drive ‘Momentum’ variant’s performance didn’t excite. However, once ‘Dynamic’ drive mode was selected things got a lot more interesting, but still didn’t gel with the car’s sporty styling If you want a more involving drive, the T5 all-wheel drive would be a better option. Pricing starts at $59,990 for the Momentum, to $72,990 for the T5 R Design.

Howick College fight for win By Jim Allnatt Harmet Singh (pictured) in action for the newly promoted Howick College First Xl against Avondale College at Lloyd Elsmore at Lloyd Elsmore on Saturday. It turned out to be a tight struggle for the first innings before Howick chased down

Avondale’s total of 118, scoring 119/7. Wickets were spread around the Howick bowlers with Prabhjot Singh taking 3/22, Harmet 2/20, Connah Thompson 2/33 and Ben McKendrick 2/23. Wicket keeper Tom Paranthoiene took three good catches. After reaching 79 before

losing its second wicket with Sam Hosking scoring 32 and Harmet Singh 23 the Howick lads made hard work of reaching the required 119 by losing 5 more wickets on the way. Still a great win in a tight match leaving Howick College second in the table with two wins and a draw.
