airy owner Don Kumar lives in fear. He is not alone. The prospect of an aggravated robbery is the number one concern for dairy and gas station owners around east Auckland. This month, police are making additional efforts to crack down on those who benefit most from the crime. New Zealand Police have launched a nationwide campaign for the month of June targeting those responsible for receiving and dealing in stolen property from aggravated robberies. In partnership with Crimestoppers, police will be offering a reward for any information that leads to a successful prosecution as part of the campaign There’s Nothing Good about Stolen Goods. It follows a chain of aggravated robberies across some New Zea-

land communities, including right here in east Auckland where a recent attack on Big Johns Dairy in Pakuranga left the store owner in hospital suffering from serious facial injuries. Police commissioner Mike Bush said the month-long campaign is part of an intentional response by police to a rise in the number of violent robberies. “NZ Police are deeply concerned about the rise in this violent crime – due to its significant impact on small business owners and their workers and communities. The campaign we’re announcing today provides us with another tool to tackle aggravated robberies. “By targeting those who profit from these crimes by trading in stolen shop and dairy goods such as cigarettes and alcohol, we’re aiming to make a serious dent in the opportunity for these crimes

to be committed.” Police will be running a series of targeted advertisements across social media channels including Facebook encouraging people to call Crimestoppers if they have any information on stolen goods from aggravated robberies, enabling members of the public to provide information anonymously. Area commander Counties Manukau East inspector Wendy Spiller said it’s an issue police are using a targeted approach to deal with locally in conjunction with a number of community partners. It’s news that comes as a small relief for Priestly Drive Superette owner Don Kumar, who admitted he fears an anticipated attack on a daily basis. Despite having roller doors, alarms, CCTV cameras and other preventative measures in place, Mr Kumar said it’s not always

proven to be enough. “We know that the best security in the world can’t stop someone if they are bent on doing what they’ve set out to do. There are predominantly good people in our community. We believe in respect for our customer and respect from the customer... so when this happens, it’s very demoralising. To be bluntly honest, we live in fear every day of an attempted robbery... that’s our lifestyle.” Tamariki Dairy owner Mahendra Manu shared a similar sentiment. He worries “the whole day and night” about what potential offenders could carry out. “In the past, they used to do it at night, but now it happens anytime, in the daytime even... and sometimes its physical harm – that leaves a physical scar that stays with you for the rest of your ➤ Turn to Page 5 life.

ADVENTURE: Kiwi man Jeremy Scott completed a bike ride from London to New Zealand covering approximately 52,000 kilometres.

“Y

ou don’t need courage to cycle around the planet. You need courage to give it a go.” That’s the advice of 44-yearold Jeremy Scott – a Kiwi who recently completed a 52,000 kilometre unsupported bike ride from London to New Zealand. From riding five hours through a sandstorm in the Chinese desert, to being humbled by the generosity of an Iranian farmer and jig-jagging through the traffic-saturated streets of Istanbul, he’s collected the most incredible stories along his journey, all penned in his newly-released book The Long Road From a Broken Heart. As for the title, it wasn’t inspired by a relationship breakup, but the words of his five-year-old nephew. “He’s too young to explain [it] to his schoolmates, so he told his friends ‘[my uncle] is riding round the world because he’s got a broken heart’... and I thought, he’s just nailed the title.” On May 20, he visited Botany Library to tell his story, starting with where it all began. At only a couple of days old, Jeremy’s mother knew something wasn’t right with her baby boy.

Four years later, Jeremy underwent successful major open heart surgery at the hands of renowned cardiovascular surgeon Sir Brian Barratt-Boyes. Years later, while working for a large architectural practice in London, he found himself yearning for a greater challenge. Inspired by the stories of fellow travellers and their cycling journeys, and knowing he would have to return home eventually, Jeremy decided to follow in their footsteps. On October 5, 2011, with barely any training or experience, the avid traveller set off on a fully loaded bike that would take him on a whirlwind adventure through 29 countries for the next twoand-a-half years.

He’s now devoted his life to inspiring others. “If I could help one person and give them the opportunity to chase their dreams the way I have, I could die tomorrow a very happy man. “This is a story about what anyone can accomplish if you’ve got a bit of an idea and the courage to do something about it. “When I started, I was petrified of the unknown and the enormity of this challenge I had set before myself. But it did not take long before I fell in love with this simple existence, where all I required was some food, water and some place to put my tent at night. I have never been a happier human being than when I’ve had so few possessions around me.”

Shoreline a shell of former self By Laura Brookes

lympic gold medalist Bruce Kendall recalls walking along the beach in the 70s from his Bucklands Beach home to the Old Bucklands Beach yacht club at Grangers Point. He knows the immense value of the beaches that attract people from all over Auckland during summer – not to mention the value of the waters around Bucklands Beach that have produced more Olympic sailing medals and round-the-world yacht racing champions than anywhere else in New Zealand. But fast-forward to 2017, and the white shelly sand on the northern half of Little Bucklands Beach is gone, creating a potentially dangerous shoreline. Black rocks washed out from the road and sea wall permeate the landscape, along with an oyster barrier between the water and land making it impossible to walk on the beach or access the water – not to mention the hazardous nature of waves crashing across the road in the presence of strong winds at high tide. “If you can consider a beach a park, it’s a premier park that’s being ignored,” said former Howick Local Board member Steve Udy, who is working in partnership with Mr Kendall to provide a solution-based approach to the dilemma. In a recent presentation to the Howick Local Board made on behalf of the Eastern and Bucklands Beach Residents and Ratepayers Association, the pair proposed significant changes to the landscape – including a sea wall resolution, a beach restoration programme and the upgrade of Grangers Point facilities.

FUTURE-FOCUSED: Mr Udy and Mr Kendall have a vision for what a restored Little Bucklands Beach could look like.

They’ve got a vision for this to happen in stages, starting with the northern half of Little Bucklands Beach, followed by Grangers Point and the restoration of Big Bucklands Beach, which has also deteriorated over time. It’s a problem that dates back to the 1950s, when The Parade bordering Little and Big Bucklands Beaches was widened from a one-lane dirt road to a two-way thoroughfare, pushing land onto the beach and causing a bank instead of the shallow gradient, shelly sand beach. The assault and backwash from the waves hitting a steeper

coastline eroded the bank away, threatened the road and created the need for a sea wall. It’s now slumping, cracking and not properly protecting the road, said Mr Kendall. “The road at the northern end of at Little Bucklands Beach is going to collapse again – that’s guaranteed,” said Mr Kendall. “We’re asking Auckland Transport to stop making short-term fixes that further ruin the beach and fix it once and properly with a bevelled loose stone wall, giving foundations for a foot path, and then cover the rocks with sand and shells [as per the concept

organizations in favour of the proposed restoration effort, said collaboration is the best way forward. “It will be really good if it’s a partnership with Howick and Auckland Council, AT, local businesses, residents and iwi, plus any experts that are able to help. “That’s what we’re looking for.” They are hoping a pragmatic co-operation will lead to a successful outcome that will benefit generations to come. ■■ A meeting will be held on July 11, 7:30pm at the Bucklands Beach War Memorial Hall.

Sissons claims world cup title Former Macleans College student Ryan Sissons has picked up his first world cup title following a close-fought finish in the ITU Madrid World Cup in Spain on Sunday. Sissons won in a total time of 1 hour 53 minutes, just eight seconds ahead of France’s Raphael Montoya. A huge lead group of 28 contested the first of the seven climbs on the bike course before a group of five (France’s Leo Bergere, Montoya and Simon Viein along with Stefan Zachaeus (LUX) and Sissons) pulled away on the final

lap, triathlonworld.com reported. “With a 30-second cushion starting the run, Montoya, Sissons and Viein were able to pull clear on the run,” the

news site said. “Montoya and Sissons dropped Viein into the last lap and, with 500 m to go, the Kiwi pulled clear for his first world cup title.” Montoya hung tough for second while Viein (1:53:16) held off the rest of the chasers to nail the final place on the podium. Georgia Taylor-Brown (GBR) took her first world cup title at the event as well. “It was the toughest course I’ve ever raced, but also one of the best ones,” said Taylor-Brown. Taylor-Brown finished in a time of 2:08:05.

Budget: Force for growth or status quo By Marianne Kelly

$6.5 billion Family Incomes Package announced in the recent Budget 2017 is targeted at helping Kiwis struggling with living costs, designed to lift those families’ incomes. The package, to be implemented over four years, includes tax cuts, lifting the threshold in the two bottom tax bands from $14,000 to $20,000 and from $48,000 to $52,000; increased payments for those in the Working for Families programme, along with a boost to the accommodation supplement. Botany MP Jami-Lee Ross says the Government’s improved books and an expected average three per cent economic growth over the next five years is delivering more jobs and higher wages for New Zealanders. “The average annual wage is expected to reach $64,300 by 2021,” he says. “Well over 200,000 jobs have been created in the last three years and a further 215,000 jobs are expected over the next four years.” The package, he says, will help hard-working families get ahead, lifting the incomes of 1.3

million families by an average of $26 a week. It’s expected to lift 20,000 families above the threshold for severe housing stress, and reduce the number of children living in families receiving less than half the median income by about 50,000. “Budget 2017 shares the benefits of growth by improving public services, investing in the infrastructure needed for a growing country, reducing debt and lifting incomes.” However Julie Zhu, Botany Greens, says the Budget indicates an endorsement of the status quo, “which means more families will continue to be left behind and our environment will continue to suffer”. “There are no real solutions to address the housing crisis, or our crippling suicide numbers, or climate change, or the growing inequality between the haves and have nots.” She’s critical of a “paltry” $4 million increase in funding to stop climate change, “while there is also a $300 million increase in subsidies for polluters”. Pakuranga Labour candidate Barry Kirker says the Budget lacks any vision for New Zealand and doesn’t address the country’s core problems.

The Pakuranga-based psychologist says the provision of mental health services is in crisis. “All too often resources that could be targeted to community-based early intervention are absorbed by expensive, mostly ineffective crisis management services and this is happening with the provision of other services throughout the country,” he says. “People have concerns about the inadequate service for Aged Care and the corporate focus and profiteering that that’s occurring in private facilities, as well as the crisis around housing affordability.” The Family Incomes Package is about sharing the dividends of a strong economy with hard-working New Zealanders, says Hunua MP Andrew Bayly. Overall 1.34 million families will, on average, be better off by $26 a week, as well as 750,000 superannuitants and 41,000 students. “Responsible economic management means we are in an excellent position to pay down debt, invest more in vital infrastructure and social services, and help Kiwi families retain more of their income every week,” Mr Bayly says.

preventative measures including fog cannons, bollards, safe rooms for staff and high definition CCTV systems. “Anything that puts our sites in danger we take very seriously. Our staff need to feel safe.” National MP for Botany Jami-Lee Ross has also commented on the issue. He told the Times National is committed to “remaining tough on criminals and putting victims at the heart of the justice system”. “Nobody should feel unsafe at work. I really feel for these owners and Police are currently doing some extra work around this.” ■■ The Crimestoppers campaign and associated reward offer will initially run until the end of June.

“The cops have come around and talked to us dairy owners, and I like that. You feel like there’s someone who backs you that’s just a phone call away.” At the family-owned Whiteacres Superette in Pakuranga, owner Hitesh Raman has suffered two ram raids on his store and believes more needs to be done to make offenders liable for their actions before the situation will change. “Once they’re liable for their actions it will change. They should be paying toward the damage they’ve done to the shop from whatever source of income they have. [When it happens] we have to close our shop... we lose a lot [and] we end up paying the cost, not them. “They’ll beat us up before they even take anything. Why

are we getting beaten up when we’re doing a legit business? That’s how all the dairy owners feel.” It’s a problem that hasn’t just hit local dairy owners, but has also had a significant impact on gas stations in the area. In December last year, aggravated robberies were carried out across four service stations in Pakuranga within a week, targeting cigarettes and cash at Caltex, Gull and Z stations. Z spokesperson Georgina Ball confirmed the majority of the 27 robberies and five attempted robberies that took place in 2016 across New Zealand were in Auckland. She said the company is currently in the process of installing 50 high-security steel tobacco dispensing machines in Z stations across Auckland as a means of deterring wouldbe offenders, among other

Heimgartner carves way to podium pitting mid-way through his stint for wet tyres. On both slicks and wets, Ireland’s concentration was on keeping the car straight and ready for Heimgartner to take over for the race to the end – something easier said than done for many in the field amidst the tricky weather. From lap 16 and in drying conditions, it was time for Heimgartner to set to work carving his way through the field, consistently setting fast lap after fast lap – including the quickest rotation of the race of 1m 32.2839s to overtake competitor after competitor. His first major challenge came when approaching his closest title contender David Wall, with the pair trading positions for a number of laps before Heimgartner was able to make it stick on the penultimate lap before going on

LEADER: Andre Heimgartner has extended his lead in the Carrera Cup Australia competition following his efforts at the weekend.

Photo Edge Photographics/ Carrera Cup Australia

eading into this Sunday’s second of two one-hour races for the weekend at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, Dannemora’s Andre Heimgartner led David Wall in the Carrera Cup Australia title standings by just one point. Courtesy of a third-place finish in Sunday’s 60-minute stanza, the Melbourne-based Kiwi ensured that he leaves round three with his title lead not only intact, but now extended to a 10-point buffer. In a reverse to Saturday’s driver order, Heimgartner brought home the #777 Bob Jane T-Marts Porsche while it was up to codriver Aaron Ireland to greet the starter in wet conditions. The Porsche GT3 regular put in an admirable job at the wheel on slick tyres at the start, before

to pass Duvashen Padayachee on the very last corner to secure the #777 a race podium. “It was a wet and wild start

for Aaron but he did a great start to keep out of trouble despite the rain and slick tyres,” Heimgartner said.

“I had a really enjoyable stint, it was great. The car was fast and I was able to move through the field. The battle with Wall was obviously important and I was pretty happy to get in front of him and then to get by Padaychee on the last corner down the inside as well – I was pretty happy with that! “Any time you can leave the race track leading the title, it is a good feeling. We have been able to do so for each of the three rounds held so far for the 2017 Carrera Cup Australia title – hopefully we can keep the streak going when we head to Darwin in a few weeks’ time for round four.” Round four will be held at Darwin’s Hidden Valley Raceway across June 16-18.

Crown Building Project by the thousands

APARTMENTS SELLING NOW!

Social Housing Minister Amy Adams announced this month that MP for Botany Auckland will be gaining 34,000 new houses under the Crown Building Project over the next decade. Broken down, the Crown Building Project will see 8300 old rundown houses in Auckland replaced with around 13,500 newly built social houses and 20,600 new affordable and market homes. This is the equivalent of three-and-ahalf new houses on every street across Auckland. With the project, the Government is making the most out of the available residential land it owns in the region. The houses will be spread throughout Auckland, in suburbs like Onehunga, Takapuna, Massey, Papakura and Point Chevalier. These new homes will particularly be beneficial to our most vulnerable families, first-home buyers, and for the wider market. The project fits into the Government’s wider Social Housing reforms and is in addition to the $2.3 billion assisting 310,000 households with accommodation this year. New houses will help meet Auckland’s social housing needs and will assist in providing people with a pathway into independent, affordable housing. At least 20 per cent of the new builds will be affordable housing aimed at first home buyers and will be under the KiwiSaver HomeStart cap of $650,000. Building 34,000 brand new purposebuilt houses is a significant undertaking – it is a substantial redevelopment and construction programme on a scale not seen since the 1950s. The project has been carefully scoped and designed, and is fully funded. The first phase of the Auckland Housing Programme, which covers the next four years, will cost $2.23b. This will be funded through Housing New Zealand’s balance sheet along with new borrowing of $1.1b approved by the Government as part of the business case. The second phase will be funded through the market housing development part of the programme, along with rental returns. The Minister has also agreed that Housing New Zealand will retain dividends and proceeds from state house transfers, to help fund the building programme. Work is already underway - builders are on site and getting stuck in with the project. ■ Step change in infrastructure needed to support new housing, see page 22

Powerhoopers push the limits fundraising for breast cancer Wow! A local powerhooping group raised nearly $3000 for breast cancer on Saturday, May 27, outside the bar at the Good Home at a twelve-hour Powerhoopathon. Event organiser and founder Amy McAuley was thrilled with how the day went and the money raised. The passionate powerhooper brought the

exercise from Scotland to New Zealand around four years ago, and has seen it go from strength to strength as Kiwis get on board with the hooping phenomenon. “I’m absolutely stoked with how it worked. The Good Home kindly allowed us to hoop in their “back garden” all day and kept us fed and watered ALL day. Everyone has been so generous and we

had heaps of people come and support us, hold buckets and let others try Powerhooping. “Howick Powerhoopers have raised over $7,000 for Breast Cancer in May alone from Pink Ribbon Breakfasts, make up parties, online auctions and more... [we’ve] raised nearly $12,000 with Powerhoopers all over.” Go team!

Bonjour, Beatrice!

We’ve also heard there’s a few tickets left for the Pink Ribbon Brunch hosted by the Good Home on Saturday, June 17 from 11am. It’s shaping up to be a wonderful morning, with three scrumptious courses served for $50 per head, a Jacqui E Fashion Parade, along with auction, raffles and guest speaker Mel Homer. Give them a call to book your spot before it’s all sold out!

Shingles is the condition when someone who has had chickenpox gets a similar rash on one side of the person’s body. It is due to the Varicella Zoster virus which travels down a nerve and presents with small vesicles/blisters along the skin area the nerve supplies. Shingles most commonly occurs in people older than 60 but can occur in younger people and in some occasions happens as a response to the body’s immune system being stressed. Some reports say the life-time risk is 1-in-5 people to get shingles. Usually a person has only one attack but some can have up to three separate attacks. Before the blistering rash appears on the skin a person may experience pain, itch or tingles in the site 1-to-5 days prior. Fever, headache and chills are common other symptoms. Those people in contact with someone with shingles who have NOT had chickenpox could develop chickenpox from exposure to shingles. Shingles is slightly less contagious than chickenpox. Ideally if someone has the beginnings of shingles an antiviral medication called Acyclovir on a newly funded medication Valaciclovir can be used. The earlier this is started the better. Complications of shingles include post-herpetic neuralgia (pain) which can be managed with pain-relieving medications in most instances. There is a vaccine called Zostavax which is available for adults aged over 50 to prevent shingles and reduce the risk of postherpetic neuralgia. This vaccine has been used overseas since 2006. There is a charge for this vaccine, talk to your doctor to see if it is suitable for you.

cole’s corner: The climbing equipment was thoroughly tested by the guest of honour.

Owairoa playground seal of approval By Kelly Teed

pidey senses were tingling at Owairoa Primary School on Thursday afternoon as the school’s new playground was officially opened. But a playground wouldn’t be complete without thorough testing and who better to test it out than Spiderman himself? As he leaped and bounded across the playground, Spiderman even decided to show off his strength by lifting a member of staff above his head to loud cheers and applause from both teachers and students in

the crowd. Teachers armed with confetti cannons were positioned around the playground ready to celebrate on a countdown. The crowd roared with laughter as one cannon prematurely exploded before the countdown was up. The playground, named Cole’s Corner after deputy principal Colin Cole, was decked out with streamers as the newest student of the school took on the honour of cutting the ribbon. Mr Cole, who has been a member of the school board

for 15 years, said it was an honour to have the playground named after him, and an opportunity to give back to the community. “It’s very, very humbling,” he said. Principal Alan McIntyre said the playground was a symbol of inclusiveness as the whole school played a part in designing it and would teach the children respect as they cared for something that belongs to them. Mr Cole also announced plans to build a new playground for junior students.

Howick student selected for prestigious science camp By Nathan Morton Not many teenagers can claim they’ve had the opportunity to travel overseas for a prestigious youth science camp, but for Pakuranga College student Andrew Hislop, it’s an entirely different story. The Howick lad will be given a five-day experience in Melbourne after being selected by Royal Society Te Aparangi to attend Youth ANZAAS (Australia New Zealand Advancement of Science) in July. Andrew is one of only seven high school students in New Zealand given the opportunity to attend the residential science camp. The programme offers extensive lectures and hands-on learning in areas

Andrew, who is head boy at Pakuranga College, said he’s always been interested in what makes the world go round and “wants to do something that helps people” in the future. “I’ve always been driven to understand how the world works... curiosity, I guess. That’s what got me interested in science in the first place.” He found out by email that he had been accepted into the programme, after submitting a copy of his school grades, CV and onepage letter in his application for the Melbourne camp. Youth ANZAAS takes place from July 9-14.

Police are calling for witnesses to come forward after a Somerville intermediate student reported being chased on her way home from school last week. The student, aged 11, reported being approached by two men wearing high visibility vests in a white van. They then followed her to a pedestrian alleyway where the girl managed to hide until they left before walking to meet her mother and notifying police. Acting Detective Senior Sergeant John Love said the girl was walking along Meadowland Drive, near Howick when the incident took place. Police canvassed the area

Tunnel vision

After reading “Gold Card’s Experience” with Auckland Transport (Times, May), it made me think of my recent experience with the road toll payment with the Land Transport Authority (LTA). New to Auckland, I had three weeks to unpack and organise my home ready to welcome my long- time friend to stay with me during the World Masters’ Games. The Games had started and there was a spare day in between the teams and individual events. Since my friend came from overseas, I thought it might be good experience to go to Brick Bay for lunch to see the sculptures. That involved two trips past the road toll. The following morning I ensured that the road toll was paid to avoid any penalties. However, in the mail, via my old address redirected to a family member three weeks later, came an invoice advising me that unless I paid the road toll immediately (plus administration) I could be taken to court for unpaid fines plus court fees. On phoning LTA and insisting that I had made a payment, the call centre patiently checked through records and indeed found I had made a payment. They also found there was no payment against my number plate. My mistake was that I had typed in one of the number plates incorrectly by two digits. I thought that the amount could just be transferred to the correct number. Not the case. I had to pay the toll ($4.60) plus administration fee ($4.90) totalling $9.50. The amount that was paid incorrectly was able to be refunded, not to my credit card from whence it came originally, but had to be paid into my bank account. I am completely mystified at the bureaucracy of the LTA that insisted on my paying the $9.50 and then refunding the original misdirected $4.60. Most business’ I have worked for nearly 60 years would have accepted the original error, transferred the amount to the correct account and forgiven the penalty. Not so the LTA. If this situation has happened to me, I am sure I am not alone and there are more people out there affected in this way. MC Highland Park

Tipping isn’t necessary I am flabbergasted with the stupid talk about tipping. Tipping was accepted in the USA to supplement low wages. Somebody said on the radio it is appropriate to tip for good service. Surely you are entitled to good service whether you tip or not? A Minister of Government does not believe it is necessary to pay tax on tips? I always understood it was obligatory to pay tax on all income? Bob Wichman Botany

Fireplace laws confusing Re new fireplace rules (Times online, May 26), although I applaud Auckland Council for trying to improve our air quality, the new bylaw rules are a little ambiguous. Among what can’t be burnt in existing and new indoor fires is wet wood and fuel with high sulphur content. What is wet wood? All wood has some moisture content, so how do they determine what is wet wood? Also, what is fuel with high sulphur content? If they are referring to coal, I have never seen a sulphur content on the bags that are available for sale and for use in indoor fires. It will be interesting to see how this new bylaw will be enforced. Then there is section 10 of the Resource Management Act. This may also make it hard to prosecute potential offenders. My thought is it may be more effective to educate than wave a stick. Barry Wood Howick

Charities Board uncharitable Few things made me more angry than the abuse of public office by individuals in pursuit of their personal goals against the public interest. I refer to the Charities Board and its ongoing efforts to deregister Family First as a charitable trust. They have tried it before and it had to be taken to court to stop them. The judge ruled in favour of Family First, as one would expect, after careful consideration of the arguments. Despite this, I was surprised to find the Charities Board has announced the same intention again and the matter is to be taken back to court. That is, of course, at the expense once more of the taxpayer, on behalf of the board which does not respect the ruling of the judge because it is not in line with individual members’ intent. Family First will have to rely again on public support so it costs us both ways to achieve, hopefully, the right outcome a second time. Family First is in our corner as we all depend on its advocacy for the betterment and protection of the family in times where its rights and wellbeing are constantly being eroded by various inter-

SOLD

est groups. Why is this necessary when a judge has fully heard and ruled on the matter? Unfair, bullying tactics are being used by the board to achieve the intentions of certain members. What has happened to democracy? This is simply manipulation of the system. The board should be sacked and would be, if the public was not to be so characteristically apathetic (or uninformed?) which allows this kind of thing to happen. Where is the public outcry of injustice? Harvey Rosieur Howick

Fake news and facts

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it , people will eventually come to believe it. It worked for Hitler in Germany. It is working today in America and globally. “Fake news” they call it. Clinton (the establishment candidate) told America she was winning the presidential elections so that others would be encouraged to vote for her. I believed that ‘official’ news until I found that the alternative media, the smaller independents and the internet were presenting different’ facts’. Trump won, which was no surprise to those who knew the truth. On checking reports on television with what I had first received via the internet, I found a clear pattern of deliberate concealment of the full and true facts in the ‘official’ news. We continue to receive ‘fake news’. The American media is baying at Trump’s heels like rabid dogs, saying nothing new but merely repeating the same tired allegations. Why? If they had anything concrete they would not have hesitated to act. Trump is against their masters. The establishment they work for wants him out! Meanwhile, Trump is not sitting on his hands, as the lack of reporting in the media would have you believe. It is not over until the fat lady sings as the Americans say, but If Trump goes, free America goes. If that happens, the rest of the world will lose its freedom as well. The free press will be history, as well as anyone who opposes what they are doing. Obama gave control of the internet away last year. How long will free speech last? This is not a fairy story.

The team at Harts Chartered Accountants based in East Tamaki.

Times photo Wayne Martin

Harts for all accountants needs The well-known local company, Harts Chartered Accountants is now a Gold Partner with the Xero cloud-based accounting software system and passing many benefits back to their customers. Established for more than 30 years and based in Ti Rakau Drive since the early 2000s, the professional team at Harts has been very busy lately with all aspects of accounting work, and particularly with Xero setups and training. “There is a trend of people wanting to have more control over their accounts and this system has everything required,” explains director, Erina Webber. “We make sure the benefits go back to our customers.” Erina describes the team at Harts as “tried and true.” This includes five directors, three administrators and nine accountants. “We are very busy, but also very reliable and have a good turnaround time for customers,” she adds.

Their services range from general business advice through to tax advice and general management. And while most of their customers are businesses based in Howick and East Tamaki, they represent a real cross-section – ranging from the self employed through to large manufacturing companies. The team at Harts has a vast range of skills, in all aspects of accountancy and tax. “Sometimes it just needs that one person to look at something differently to ensure our clients receive the most accurate results,” says Erina. The team at Harts Accountants can advise high income earners, provisional tax payers, companies and trusts how to utilise Tax Finance, both borrowing and lending for Income Tax. Harts are up-to-date with new tax regulations and common problems/quirks such as taxpayers using their own home, baches or rental proper-

ties as short term rental properties The location of the company’s office (with loads of good parking) on Ti Rakau Drive make it very accessible for locals. “Why should you have to travel into the city to get a good accountant?” questions Erina. “If you prefer to discuss your accounts at your place of business, we can come to you. The team is mobile with their visits to local businesses setting up and training on Xero systems, entering year end journals and helping prepare GST and PAYE Returns.” Known for their knowledge and experience, Harts is a trusted name that clients vouch for. Satisfied clients are always referring the business to their family, friends and business associates. The accountants are now seeing a second generation of existing clients using their expertise. The team always welcomes enquiries.

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, June 1, 2017 — 19

Pak notch up huge win Pakuranga United Rugby Club’s premiers have finished second in their pool following an outstanding win against Waitakere City at the weekend. The Green Machine now has to change gear as they move onto the next round, said prems coach Pita Alatini. “It all starts again this week with the top eight teams,” he said. “It was a pleasing effort more than the result! The boys managed to start strong and carry it through for the majority of the game. “We had a few changes and gave a couple of boys an opportunity and they took it and now the pressure is back on us as coaches to find the right selection mix for this weekend.” Times photos Wayne Martin

Estuary Art brings out the best Malcolm Smith Gallery and Monterey Gallery are collaborating to bring readers monthly updates on what’s happening in the visual arts in Howick. June is all about the Estuary Art and Ecology Prize. The Estuary Art Awards are now in their 11th year and the exhibition of finalists for 2017 looks to be one of the best yet. On display from June 12 at Malcom Smith Gallery, the Awards bring together artworks by local artists who have responded with intelligence and care to the concerns of the Estuary, highlighting the diversity and beauty of the environment and need for all to be active in its protection. The finalists include Arielle Walker who has collected natural materials from around the Estuary and used these to dye yarn and create a woven ‘map’ of the area; Hanna Sim, who has fabricated a stuffed sculpture of the threatened bird – Mokuna Moana, the reef heron – to draw attention to the possible future of some of the local endangered species, existing only as taxidermy; and Kohl Tyler-Dunshea, who has devised a participatory project, inviting visitors to take a native seedling and plant it on a chosen spot along the Estuary’s banks. Monterey Gallery is excited to have two of their resident artists, Mo Stewart and Michael Prosee, included in the group

Michael Prosee’s Urban Streams (2017) of finalists. In February, Michael Prosee launched Monterey’s 2017 exhibition calendar with a solo show. Michael’s mark making is both spontaneous and considered, there is a focus on pattern, line and shape and how they relate and play off each other. Michael’s ability to endlessly alter and add to his pieces results in vibrantly noisy imagery and for the Estuary Art Awards, Michael has created a dramatic mixed media work to focus viewers on the small steps we collectively need to take to bring back harmony between the elements; earth, air and water. Local abstract artist, Mo Stewart, is exclusively represented by Monterey Gallery, her work is easily recognised with her oversize brush strokes and generous use of black and grey tones. Mo’s entry in the Estuary Art Awards continues her characteristic limited palette and bold mark making. She combines gentle splashes of paint with brutal swipes of dark black, communicating the contrast between the bleak reality of pollution, contaminating the delicate natural world. The winners of the Estuary Art and Ecology Prize will be announced Saturday June 10 at 2pm. Judge Ane Tonga will present prizes generously donated by Howick Local Board and Gordon Harris. All welcome to attend.

TIMESWORD PUZZLE NO. 7809

new playgroup for mums and bubs at East City Wesleyan Church is offering a music, motion and memory programme designed for young children. Sing n Sprout originated in America, and now California-born Rebecca Bowlin is launching the programme in New Zealand through ECW. The programme runs on Friday mornings, starting at 9:30am with playtime, followed by mat time with music, morning-tea and an ageappropriate craft activity. Mrs Bowlin said the volunteer-driven programme is a great opportunity for kids to learn in a fun, interactive way while mothers get a break to socialise. “Sometimes it’s as much for the mums to socialise as it is for the kids... it’s a good supplement to kindy for kids who go there on other days of the week too. Because it’s both

educational and fun, we’re teaching them as they play, and it’s really great for infants and newborns to hear music.” Parent Kate Milbank said it’s the perfect group for her little 10-month-old, and admitted she even sacrifices nap time to be there. “A lot of places you worry about whether they’re too young, but she just loves it here. “Everything has a purpose,

so as a mum, you know it’s not just a fun sing-a-long, but you’re helping them to develop skills at the same time. “Mums are always looking for somewhere to go to just chill out where it’s not too cliquey, so it’s just lovely here.” Burswood resident Jo McWilliams agreed it was nice to feel “so welcomed” at the programme. Sing n Sprout is suitable for newborns up to 5 years old.

Historical Village closed for filming The Howick Historical Village will be closed to the public on Tuesday June 6 to Friday June 9 and Monday June 12 to Thursday 15th June – a total of eight days in June as the village will have a film company there. The village will be open on Saturday June 10 and Sunday June 11.

ews that the Government will build 34,500 new homes in Auckland over the next decade is to be applauded, but a step change in infrastructure funding and investment will be required to ensure Auckland networks can accommodate this growth, said Stephen Selwood, chief executive of Infrastructure New Zealand. “Auckland is in immediate need of housing and (the May 16) announcement is a serious commitment to addressing prolonged under supply. Last year only around 7000 homes were built in the region, so an extra 3500 per annum over the next decade is substantial,” Mr Selwood said. “The construction of 13,500 social housing units where 8300 currently stand represents a major increase in housing for those in chronic need. “The other 20,000 the Government intends to build will be targeted at the more affordable end of the spectrum, which has for many years been under-supplied. “This is very good news, but Auckland’s infrastructure networks cannot accommodate this development by continuing business as usual.” A 34,500 home development is a city of 100,000 people – that’s somewhere between a Palmerston North and a Dunedin, he said. “A vast service network underpins this much housing; Palmerston North City alone has over 550km of roads, 1000km of water pipes and 30 schools,” said Mr Selwood. “The Government estimates that 34,500 homes is equivalent to three-and-a-half houses on every street in Auckland. Typically, that means an additional seven cars in every street. “Already Auckland’s transport networks are bursting at the seams and all projections are that congestion will get much worse.” The Government last month signalled it was going to come to the party with an $11 billion commitment to infrastructure through Budget 2017, but it is still not clear how the Auck-

land Council will meet its growth obligations. “A 2015 study by the Centre for International Economics on the cost of residential infrastructure estimated that a new home built on redeveloped land costs the Auckland Council on average $30,000. This figure excludes big cityshaping investments like the City Rail Link. “The Government’s announcement (on May 16) adds a $1b bill to a council which is already at the limit of what it can borrow,” Mr Selwood said. “If new development triggers the need for regional scale infrastructure like light rail or a new busway, the cost to the Auckland Council will easily be two, three or four times this figure. “The city really is at a critical juncture. Infrastructure is urgently needed to address the backlog and accommodate new growth.” Mr Selwood said “obvious” steps to addressing this challenge are: ■■ Prioritise housing development next to train and

busway stations ■■ Invest in traffic light optimisation and intelligent traffic management systems ■■ Rapidly develop park and ride facilities ■■ Streamline planning consents for power, water, telecommunications and social infrastructure that support the developments ■■ Recycle capital tied up in existing assets into new infrastructure ■■ Enable urban development agencies to rezone, acquire and aggregate land and use the increased value to fund infrastructure ■■ Expand private investment in infrastructure through PPPs and large scale development opportunities ■■ Introduce road pricing sooner rather than later to both manage demand and generate revenue to pay for transport infrastructure “It’s great to see the Government enabling housing development at scale but parallel development of infrastructure to support all of the new houses will be key to success,” Selwood says.

Tenants liable Build your home with Finesse for damage T hey say there’s no time like the present, and if you’ve been thinking of building, renovating or owning a brand new home, there’s no better time to get in touch with the team at Finesse Residential.

he NZ Property Investors’ Federation (NZPIF) is pleased that Government is taking action to remedy the situation of tenants not being responsible for damage they accidently cause in rental properties. However the general principle of a new Bill is that tenants are still not liable for accidental damage they cause and this is very disappointing, says Andrew King, executive officer of the NZPIF. Under new legislation introduced to Parliament, if tenants cause any damage to their rental property, they will only be liable for the cost of their landlord’s insurance excess up to a maximum of four weeks’ rent for each incident of damage. While the intention of the Bill is good, it doesn’t really safeguard the interests of the three main parties involved, being tenants, rental property owners and insurance companies. Insurance companies can no longer hold accountable the person responsible for the damage and this, they say, increases their risk. As tenants are responsible for the insurance excess for each incident of damage they cause, they could be liable for many thousands of dollars of repair costs. Consequently they will still need to insure themselves. If a rental property owner’s

insurance company and the Tenancy Tribunal cannot agree on how many incidents of damage are involved, an owner may still be liable for a majority of the cost for their tenant’s damage. The Bill also talks about careless damage. The NZPIF is concerned that tenants may not be accountable for any accidental damage they cause. Deciding what is accidental and what is careless damage could be very problematic. The NZPIF believes that the simplest solution would be to return the whole issue of tenants’ liability for damage back to how it was before the court ruling. In addition, landlords would need to inform their tenants of their potential liability for damage and emphasise that there is insurance to protect them.

The family owned business has a well-earned reputation for great design, project management and construction detailing and has recently welcomed two new home consultants to the team. Sheree Foster and Bonita Lim both bring a vast amount of experience and promise to deliver a high level of professional service while they add their own personal touch to customer service within the business. They join Finesse Residential with a wealth of knowledge between them and value honesty, integrity and commitment. With a firm work ethic they will ensure a quality service throughout the whole process and are dedicated to working closely with you to ensure your requirements are met.

old Northlander Jack Goodhew, a former Mt Albert Grammar head boy who spends his spare time working for the Salvation Army. Strong and quick, Goodhew is a heady player who has much to offer on both attack and defence and is being tipped by Justin Marshall as a future All Black. Also just 22 are gifted left wing George Bridge and adventuresome fullback Havili who has been a revelation in piercing opposing defences with impunity. Only fearless Chiefs fullback Damian McKenzie has made more breaks and beaten more defenders in the Super Rugby championship this season than Havili, who hails from Nelson. With Chief Lienert-Brown becoming an All Black last year at the age of 21 and Hurricane fullback Jordie

Barrett still only 20, youth continues to make a strong bid for berths in the national squad. In fact, at 25, PJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett are relative veterans among a Hurricanes backline whose midfield pairing of Ngani Laumape, 24, and Vince Aso, 22, have combined to score 25 tries so far this season. With Sonny Bill Williams lifting his game with a strong performance in the Blues 16-16 draw with the Chiefs, competition for midfield berths in the All Blacks squad is going to be fierce. And with Lima Sopoaga overcoming a long absence through injury to demonstrate his class in the Highlanders’ 44-28 win over the Waratahs, deciding between him and Aaron Cruden as Barrett’s deputy in the tests against the Lions will be interesting, especially with Sopoaga impressing as the better goal-kicker.

Hansen, Ian Foster and Grant Fox. But they also have their problems, especially in finding healthy, match fit forwards. With a concussed Ardie Savea joining Kieran Read, Jerome Kaino, Liam Squire and Dane Coles among the walking wounded, Lions coach Warren Gatland’s confidence will be soaring. Hansen, of course, is not panicking. But he should at least be concerned because the forward depth in this country falls far short of that of the backs. Meanwhile, while Blues fans will rejoice at the signing of Otere Black for the 2018 season, I’m not convinced he’s the answer to their firstfive prayer although he does have a good head on his shoulders. The one who will set the competition alight once he reverts to his true berth upon Aaron Cruden’s departure for France, will be the electrifying Damian McKenzie.

He’s a New Zealand ice hockey player with a dream to get into the National Hockey League, and now he’s one step closer to achieving that. Pakuranga College student Ryan Martinoli has been offered a two-year scholarship to attend the prestigious Ontario Hockey Academy and is set to leave at the end of August. The teenager has played ice hockey for more than seven years, and was one of 20 Kiwis chosen to travel to Taiwan in March to compete in the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) U18 Ice Hockey World Championships. Unfortunately, the New Zealand team did not qualify for the next round, but upon his return from the competition, the 16-year-old had an very special message waiting for him on Facebook. He had been contacted by a Canadian scout who was watching the championships online. “The scout approached me on Facebook after the World Cup [offering me a place]. I read it and replied, “as soon as I get home, I’ll ask my parents! “I’m very excited. I’m chasing my dream... [August] can’t come soon enough.” Despite being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, the Year 12 student doesn’t allow it to prevent him from achieving his goals.

ne of the astonishing factors about the unbeaten Crusaders’ domination of the Super Rugby championship has been the form of so many exciting young backs whose ages range from 21 to 23. Most notable among them has been clever first-five eighth Richie Mo’unga, aged 23, and converted fullback David Havili, who is a year younger. Given a licence to thrill by coaches Scott Robertson and Leon McDonald, the Crusaders’ young backs have capitalised on the dominance of their All Black forwards with a clever swift passing game that few teams have been able to contain. With halfback Mitch Drummond, 22, providing a snappy pass, Mo’unga has played with a maturity which belies his tender years, mixing astute kicking and passing with an incisive running game. Outside him is All Black Ryan Crotty who has found an impressive centre partner is 100kg, soon-to-be 22-year-
