Uxbridge pleads for help to stay afloat By LAURA BROOKES

t’s been an entertainment hub for the Howick Village for 35 years, providing the community with a cultured sense of all the arts has to offer. Now, the Uxbridge Arts and Culture Centre is faced with the prospect of closing for good if it doesn’t receive additional funding from the Howick Local Board. In a March 20 presentation to the local board, Uxbridge director Vickie Bowers and chairman of the Uxbridge Community Pro-

jects Incorporated board Cliff Halsey outlined the necessity of an extra $100,000 per year in funding to continue operations. They also requested an extra $35,000 if Uxbridge is required to pay water and electricity charges – a cost the centre was not responsible for prior to the $6.5 million renovations of the centre in 2016, mostly funded by Auckland Council. In fact, Ms Bowers estimates without extra funding, Uxbridge will only be able to operate for another year before it will be

forced to close the doors. “The Howick Village Centre Plan for the next 30 years has a strong focus on arts and entertainment, and we believe Uxbridge is a key part of that future. It would be really sad to see it go,” said Ms Bowers, who has worked at Uxbridge in the role of director since 2015. From musical performances to art exhibitions and workshop classes, Uxbridge offers a vast range of entertainment options and boasts the only north-facing cafe in the village with a view to

the sea. A comparison with other local council-funded arts centres in Auckland showed that Uxbridge is open to the public for the most hours and nears the top ranking on visitor numbers, but receives the second lowest level of funding. Uxbridge operates on a council contract to provide services to the local community on behalf of the Howick Local Board and is expected to meet 50 per cent of operating costs. ➤ Turn to Page 2

t was all smiles for preschoolers in the Howick district as the local kindergarten once again held their annual Bike-a-Thon. Hosted by the Howick Kindergarten on March 26, this year’s successful family event gave pre-schoolers the chance to show off their pedaling skills while siblings, parents and grandparents were encouraged to come and support the youngsters. The Bike-a-Thon kicked off at Owairoa Primary School at 10am, where children aged three to five raced laps around the school, and spectators who turned out were gifted with the humorous experience of watching the parents compete in their very own racing match.

ed in 1963 and has been serving the community for the past 54 years. The Bike-a-Thon is one of the ways the kindergarten has done so, with more than four decades’ experience running the annual event, and kindergarten teacher Moana Paterson said the day was a big success.

“It was well supported… and the feedback was very positive. We have a Facebook page where people can comment their thoughts on events, and we also gave feedback forms to parents. We got a really good response,” she said. “We can see it becoming more of a family event in the future.”

Community makes grand showing for Rotary fun walk, run Runners and supporters alike turned out in droves for the Howick Rotary Fun Walk & Run last Sunday. The event was initiated more than a decade ago by Crawford Medical Centre as a way to encourage the local community to participate with their families in a healthy activity whilst

simultaneously enjoying the scenery of Howick. The event, held at Stockade Hill, attracted runners and walkers of all ages along with teams from local primary and intermediate schools who were competing for the Crawford Cup. More than 500 people

took off from the start line at 9am with the first runners crossing the finish line shortly before 9:30am. Bucklands Beach Intermediate took out the Crawford Cup for intermediate schools while Bucklands Beach Primary collected the win for primary schools.

Funds needed ➤➤From page 1

Currently, Uxbridge meets 68 per cent of operating costs by running an unsustainable deficit budget, while the Howick Local Board meets the remaining 32 per cent. “All we’re asking for is a fair deal,” said Mr Halsey. “We know we run a very efficient operation, and we’re very proud of what we do. Our staff put in a huge effort.” National MP for Botany Jami-Lee Ross penned his thoughts about the Uxbridge funding shortfall in his column for the Times this week. “Not only is Uxbridge expected to provide more services with less support, they also have to pick up the tab for many costs that the City Council used to cover,” he wrote. “They have been pushed to breaking point.” The Times contacted Howick Local Board chairperson David Collings for comment but did not receive a response within the given time frame.

Farewell to a community kaumatua By Laura Brookes

e was hailed as a grandfather to the community – someone who was known for his generosity of spirit and all-embracing presence. On Tuesday, March 21, Koro Percy Reedy passed away at the age of 75. Mr Reedy worked in the role of kaumatua at Stand Children’s Services (formerly Pakuranga Health Camp) from 2009 and was a key member of staff during that time. Stand is a charity that provides specialist home and school social services including therapeutic care and education to children aged five to 12. The Stand leadership team said he is deeply missed by all

the staff, children and community. “He was known for his immaculate style, charm, charisma and exceptional musical talent,” a spokesperson for the leadership team said. “One of his many gifts was his ability to transcend cultures and ages through waiata, manaakitanga and his cheeky humour. “All this said, he was professional, respectful and committed to making a difference in the lives of the vulnerable children Stand works with.” Mr Reedy was of Ngati Porou descent and was born on the East Cape at Waipiro Bay near Ruatoria, where a funeral service was held on March 24. Throughout his life, Mr

Open doors at Uxbridge By Nathan Morton It’s an exciting month for the Uxbridge Performing Arts Centre, which is set to host an Open Day for the public on April 8 from 11am to 2pm. ‘A taste of Uxbridge’ will include a range of exciting performances ranging from belly dancing to Pilates, giving attendees the chance to join in and experience Uxbridge’s variety of arts.

The day also features presentations from Eyreton Hall, Ben Fernandez and Maria O’Flaherty who are all part of Uxbridge’s performance programme this year. On the day, the NZ Dance Company will be showcasing its upcoming show at Uxbridge on April 21, and so too will familyfriendly comedian John Carr with a preview of his new show entitled ‘Down with the Young

Ones’. The presentations are all free for members of the public to enjoy, allowing the Howickbased theatre to give people a taste of just some of the incredible presentations they have on offer. The wonderful Uxbridge cafe will be open all day delivering a scrumptious range of food, including food demos on the day to showcase its unique flavour.

The much-loved BMX track at Pigeon Mountain is no longer. Manager of Tupuna Maunga Authority Scott de Silva said the track was being turned into a grassed area for everyone to enjoy. The nearest local BMX track is at Lloyd Elsmore Park.

Petrol stations targeted Two Petrol stations were targeted over the weekend. Police received reports of a silent panic alarm at 5am at Gull East Tamaki on 27th March. Money and cigarettes were stolen. Mobil East Tamaki was also the target of a robbery in the early hours of Sunday morning by three offenders who were armed with tools and wearing hoodies.

Time to step up for Uxbridge ami-Lee Ross

ne of my proudest moments last year was seeing the opening of the newly redeveloped Uxbridge Arts Centre. It was a long haul for our much loved Uxbridge. From humble beginnings many decades ago, the vision of a community arts centre that was fit for purpose was finally fulfilled. Modern and proud; open and accessible. The Mayor called Uxbridge “a gift to Howick for future generations”. Local hero Adele White described the centre as “a beautiful place and a significant jewel in Howick’s crown”. Now that’s all being put at risk. I was sad to hear that Uxbridge is about a year away from having to close their doors. How could this be? Despite a significant upgrade to the Uxbridge facilities that gave us a new theatre, as well as more capacity and opportunity to deliver arts programmes, they have been short-changed

on vital operating support. Not only is Uxbridge expected to provide more services with less support, they also have to pick up the tab for many costs that the City Council used to cover. They have been pushed to breaking point. Uxbridge is no bloated bureaucracy. They have always run on the smell of an oily rag with community volunteers pitching in where they can. A comparison with other local art centres in Auckland shows that Uxbridge receives the second lowest level of funding, but is near the top in visitor numbers. They are also open to the public more hours than any of their peers, with 100,000 visitors each year. Uxbridge is cost effective and efficient. The hard-working staff and volunteers in our local patch are making every dollar of support go much further than any of the competing

council facilities. The Howick Local Board holds the budget for Uxbridge. But so far they have been missing in action, instead opting to leave it to officials. Local Board members are the decision-makers though. It’s time for them to show they value Uxbridge like the Howick community does. Howick locals have never been shy in standing up when local treasures are threatened. We are at the point of having to do that again. Our community values the arts. The community values our Uxbridge. We had no hesitation in fighting for redevelopment funding from the old Manukau City Council. It looks like we will have to fight again, this time to convince the Howick Local Board they can’t let Uxbridge go. Jami-Lee Ross Member of Parliament for Botany

Bus driver brings the roof down at Howick bus stop By KELLY TEED Commuters catching the bus in Howick Village on Tuesday may have arrived to a strange sight. A Howick & Eastern bus crashed into the bus shelter on Picton Street outside The Good Home at 10:40am, sending part of the shelter through a window of the pub directly behind it. Owner of The Good Home, Barry

O’Shaughnessy showed the Times where the shelter had crashed into the window of the pub, leaving glass shattered across the floor of the dining section. He said he had spoken to the driver and was in the process of sorting out an insurance claim. Mr O’Shaughnessy said he didn’t see the accident but thinks the back of the bus knocked into the shelter as the driver pulled

out onto the street. Howick and Eastern Buses Operations Manager Troy O’Dea confirmed it was one of the company’s buses and said an investigation was underway and was due to be completed by the end of the day. Mr O’Dea said the driver was completing a written accident and incident report and CCTV footage would be checked as part of the investigation.

In the wake of massive police operations after the terror attack in London, Auckland Mayor Phil Goff was very appreciative of the way local police risk own lives to serve the community. Speaking at the Counties Manukau Annual Pay Parade and Awards Ceremony in Howick on Friday morning, he said his admiration goes to the people who serve the international as well as the local communities and work hard to keep them safe. “Thank you for your integrity and professionalism,” he said after the parade of police officers, detectives and police employees, police dogs, horses and motorbikes that started at Wellington Street, wound its way through Picton Street and ended at Howick RSA. “Manukau is the fastest growing community with so much diversity.

An artist for more than 20 years, Mrs Jenkins says that she always wanted to create

It’s community art that is both symbolic and significant. Funded by the Howick Local Board, two accomplished artists - Frith Jenkins and Jane Dale - are putting finishing touches on the mosaic mural that they are going to gift Howick RSA on Anzac Day. The beautiful artwork skilfully pieced together with coloured glass was inspired by the controversy surrounding Stockade Hill and the significant role it plays on Anzac Day. “The mosaic in hues of blue and green features a cenotaph standing tall against the blue skies, contrasted by the brown

something special for Howick Village and was thrilled when she applied for funding from the Howick Local Board and got it. There will be three pieces of artworks that they will be working on, over a period of time, starting with the mural of Stockade Hill. While the first mural will be presented to Howick RSA, the second one will involve more artists. “We have three other artists who are interested in it and we hope to work on it individually and then piece it together,” says Mrs Jenkins.

It is the social aspect of working with different materials that truly appeals to the artists. “Especially since we have people dropping in during the Saturday Farmer’s Market and we enjoy having conversations with them.” With two more weeks to complete the mural, Mrs Jenkins welcomes the community to walk in and have a peek of the tactile art-in-progress before they gift it to Howick RSA. ■ For more details you can contact Frith Jenkins by phone, 534-8716.

HPK swimmers bring home the medals Howick Pakuranga Swim Club is celebrating its success at the Swimming New Zealand Age Group Championships. Swimmers Ryan Oliver and Tyron Henry were outstanding, picking up a swag of medals. A team of 24 swimmers and five staff travelled to Wellington last week for the five day competition that saw

the best swimmers aged between 12-18 battle it out to be crowned New Zealand Age Group Champ. The team produced 31 medals from 75 finals, surpassing last year’s result of 25 medals. Head coach of the Howick Pakuranga Swim Club, Paul Dowey said it was a hard-fought competition. “We can

certainly see some young talent beginning to blossom,” he said. Standout performances came from Pakuranga College athletes. Oliver collected seven medals - two gold, two silver and three bronze. Henry picked up five gold medals and one silver. Both athletes had major roles in the relay team. Other medal

winners included Daniel Koenigsperger. Hannah Ferguson, Phoebe Harris, Thomas Hughson, Andrew Rattray and Adrian Chong and Holly Ancliffe. Brooke Hill, Rocky Mulinuu, Noah Villisoni-Heather, Josh Kao, James Slessor, Laura Wesseling, Jasmine Anderson, Andre Yiu and Karl Zhu all placed in the top 10.

Dream kitchen now heart of family home When Priscilla Qiao stepped into a Somerville open home two years ago, she knew it was the one.

Everything about the house was perfect – except one very important area. So Jag Kitchens stepped in to deliver the final piece of the puzzle.

“The house was beautiful, it had lots of space, and it looked comfortable and modern.”

“It’s nice and new, everything is easy to clean and I love the reflective surfaces that bounce light off in every direction,” says Priscilla.

Everything but the kitchen. “We were scratching our heads as to why the kitchen looked so out of place,” the mother of two explains.

“And Jag was so good to deal with. They arranged everything from start to finish, and it all went very smoothly. I think this kitchen will be used for many years to come.”

With an unflattering yellow hue, the kitchen was modular which meant dirt and oil collected on top of the cabinetry. “Some things weren’t functioning either. The oven was broken and only two out of four of the gas hobs were working,” says Priscilla. “But we liked the house, so we thought we could do the kitchen later.” With her husband working overseas, the job fell to Priscilla and she decided to call in the experts. “One of my friends is a builder and she told me about Jag Kitchens in Botany. I’d also been to the Danske Mobler Home Centre to buy furniture so I thought we’d go have a look.” Striking up a conversation with Jag Kitchens designer Ellie McNae, Priscilla was sold on Jag’s professionalism and price.

Importantly, Priscilla, her mother, teenage son and younger daughter are all over the moon with the new addition.

JAG Kitchens designer Ellie McNae (right) with house owner Priscilla Qiao.

“Ellie was really nice. She listened to my ideas and gave me a rough design and we took it from there,” says Priscilla. Ellie’s recommendations proved particularly invaluable when it came to finer details, she adds. “Although I knew what I wanted, Ellie was really great in offering suggestions that were practical as well as looked better.” These include contrasting a slim, black benchtop along the wall with a thicker, white benchtop for the island to add interest to the classic, white kitchen. “We also introduced a waterfall end for one side of the bench and opened up the other end

for seating,” says Ellie. “Instead of sticking with closed cabinetry, we decided the glass overhead cabinetry on the right would break up the symmetry so it wouldn’t look so heavy.” Another nifty feature is the oil pull-out drawer that is separated to allow for trays and chopping boards to slide in with ease, adds Ellie. “Finally, we opted to go for a more neutral splash back

which meant Priscilla could add interest and colour with her accessories” In fact, the attention to detail in the finished kitchen sparkles just like the metallic splashback.

Jag Kitchens specialise in custom-designed kitchens and has its own manufacturing plant. The staff also use a stateof-the-art 3D computer design programme to show clients beforehand exactly how their new kitchen will look.

A bright and spacious affair, the room boasts ample bench space.

Jag Kitchens has an excellent reputation for designing and building for all budgets and for providing an outstanding design service with sound advice.

The glass cabinet display serves as a decorative feature and complements the sash window alongside.

Visit www.jagkitchens.co.nz for more information on a wide range of materials and design options.

Whether you are thinking of a major renovation or simply planning to replace an existing kitchen do contact Jag Kitchens. All designers have years of experience and are happy to discuss your kitchen project free of cost and obligation.

EASTER SALE

Astra physics By Alistair Davidson

olden’s going through a period of ‘brand transition’. The Aussie car company, which is traditionally known for its large cars with rear-wheel drive and powerful engines, has “lost its relevance”. “We’ve got a few more tricks up our sleeves than one or two model lines,” said Holden NZ’s general manager, Kristian Aquilina, at the media launch of the all new Holden Astra. In 2015 Holden NZ embarked on a five-year plan that, according to Aquilina, will “bring Holden kicking and screaming into the modern era in New Zealand’s market”. The campaign involves extensive rebranding and repositioning through print, digital and electronic media, and enhancing the physical dealership network along with the customer experience. Clever marketing is all well and good, but obviously Holden NZ won’t achieve its goal of being “New Zealand’s most loved automotive brand” without the right product. This is why it’s in the middle of launching 24 new vehicles by 2020. European Astra is one of seven cars introduced to date, and it’s a key player. Replacing Cruze as Holden’s small car contender, it certainly has the right credentials. Astra’s a known nameplate, having been launched here back in 1995, and the model we’re seeing now won the coveted European Car of the Year award in 2016. New Astra is available as a

five-door hatch, in three specification trim levels: entry-level 1.4-litre R, a more powerful and tech-laden 1.6-litre RS, and a range topping RS-V also with the 1.6-litre. Both engines are turbocharged. The all-new 1.4 develops 110kW maximum power and 240Nm of torque with an automatic transmission, 245Nm with a manual. The 1.6 delivers 147kW and 300Nm. Kiwi Astras have the same suspension set up as the European versions, but the electronic power steering has unique calibration to suit our market. All models have six airbags, a rearview camera and Electronic Stability Control as standard. Astra also has the latest generation MyLink infotainment system featuring class-leading Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The R and RS models have a 7” colour touch screen with Bluetooth and voice rec-

ognition functionality via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the RS-V adds an embedded satellite navigation system and voice recognition, together with a larger 8” colour touch screen. The launch in Napier provided an opportunity to sample all three models over a 350-kilometre loop, from the city centre out to Puketitiri. From negotiating morning traffic to technical, twisting country roads, Astra acquitted itself extremely well. While the 1.4 is a decent performer that won’t disappoint, the 1.6 is a delight. With 300Nm of torque the engine pulls smoothly and strongly, and the suspension provided ample grip, predictable handling and a comfortable ride. Astra is a well built, stylish and well appointed small car that’s a huge step up from Cruze. Pricing is competitive too, starting at $30,990 for the R through to $36,990 for the RS-V.

Top tips for choosing your heaters C

hoosing a heater can be confusing, with a multitude of choices and offers to consumers. Eeca Energywise says how you use a room will help you to decide the type of heater that’s most suitable. Technical expert Christian Hoerning says that for larger rooms you want to heat regularly, like a living room, it’s worth paying a bit more upfront for a fixed heater with lower running costs and more heat output than an electric heater can provide. “This could be a modern wood or wood-pellet burner, an Energy Star qualified heat pump, or an Energy Star qualified flued gas heater. Electric heaters may be enough for smaller rooms and rooms you only heat occasionally, like bedrooms - they’re cheap to buy but more expensive to run,” he says.

Heat pumps

Good for: ■■ Low running costs when you use them properly ■■ Producing instant heat ■■ Convenience – you can control the temperature with the thermostat and use the timer. Be aware that: ■■ They must be sized correctly for the space and the climate to work well - if you live in a colder area, ask the supplier to size the heat pump based on its low temperature performance ■■ Some are a lot more efficient than others. ■■ They won’t work during a power cut.

Modern Woodburners

Good for: ■■ Low running costs, especially if you have access to free or cheap firewood ■■ The environment – they produce very little pollution and use renewable wood energy ■■ Heating large spaces ■■ Heating hot water in winter through a wetback system Be aware that: ■■ Firewood must be dry to burn efficiently – store wood under cover, ideally for at least 12 months ■■ You need a building consent to install one and you need to use a woodburner on the approved list from the Ministry for the Environment (unless your property is bigger than two hectares).

Wood pellet burners Good for:

■■ The environment – the pellets

are made from waste products and burn cleanly ■■ Heat control (better than a wood burner) ■■ Heating large spaces ■■ Heating hot water in winter through a wetback system. Be aware that: ■■ They won’t work if your electricity isn’t working (they use a small amount of electricity ■■ You cannot burn firewood in a pellet burner ■■ Pellet prices vary greatly across the country – check prices in your area ■■ You need a building consent to install one ■■ Only authorised burners can be used in areas with poor air quality.

■■ Convenience – you can control the temperature with the thermostat and use the timer zoning – many are zone-controlled so you can control the temperature in different parts of the house. Be aware that: ■■ They can be expensive to install ■■ Heat can be supplied by a range of heating systems, for example gas, wood pellet or heat pump ■■ It’s worth choosing a system that has an individual thermostat for each room ■■ They can be expensive to run if you home isn’t well insulated or is draughty. decisions, decisions: It’s never too early to begin thinking about your heating options before winter sets in.

Flued gas (natural or LPG) heaters or fireplaces the temperature with the thermostat and use the timer ■■ Heating larger spaces. Be aware that: ■■ You will have to pay a fixed price for reticulated gas supply ■■ Running costs are relatively high if you use LPG bottles ■■ While burning gas is relatively clean, the greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change ■■ You must have your gas heater installed by a registered gas fitter.

■■ Very cheap to buy. Be aware that: ■■ They are more expensive to run than most other heating options ■■ Their heat output is low compared to most other heater types ■■ All electric heaters are equally efficient as they convert all the electricity they use into useful heat ■■ There are different types (radiant, convection, fan) that deliver heat in different ways to suit different situations ■■ Many have built in thermostats but they generally aren’t very accurate.

cuts, if your normal heating relies on electricity to operate. Be aware that: ■■ Portable gas heaters are the most expensive form of heating (except for some open fires) ■■ There are health risks – these heaters will pollute your home with toxic gases and large amounts of water vapour so you must keep at least one window open when heating and never use in bedrooms ■■ They can make your home damp and mouldy ■■ Portable gas heaters can be a fire risk – anything left too close can catch fire. ■■ For more information: www. energywise.govt.nz

Feedback sought Public feedback is invited on the refresh of the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy and updating the sequencing of land identified for future urban development. Following changes arising from the Auckland Unitary Plan, particularly live zoning, some areas can be brought forward, enabling earlier development, while other areas are put back due to infrastructure and funding constraints. Rural Settlements are now also included in the structure plan. “Updating this strategy will ensure that clarity and certainty continues to be provided on the future development of Auckland, particularly for housing and employment land

provision,” says councillor Chris Darby, chair of the Planning Committee. “We also know more about bulk infrastructure costs for these areas, which gives us a valuable insight into how we must prepare to meet growth demands. Obviously we can’t develop everywhere at once, so we have to make informed choices on the order and timing.” The existing strategy was adopted in 2015 and covered future development potential for 11,000 hectares of greenfield land in north, north-west and south Auckland. The Auckland Unitary Plan now includes approximately 15,000 hectares of future urban land, which will enable around 136,000 new houses.

SOUTH EAST

esign & Build South East is a guide covering building issues in southeast Auckland. From Howick, Pakuranga, Ormiston, Pine Harbour, Beachlands and Maraetai, to Manukau, Takanini and Papakura, this annual magazine covers an area where demand for homes is at a premium. This special publication looks at buyers’ options within these unique communities from apartment to family homes; suburban to coastal lifestyles. We examine buying off-the-plan, subdividing large sections and opting for a smaller lifestyle block. Home renovation, landscaping, architecture, local infrastructure and more will come under the spotlight and there will also be a strong focus on town developments and the growth of amenities. With numerous choices available, we ask what are the real points of difference that building companies and home services offer? To help showcase your business we are offering an editorial bonus. Submit your editorial contribution (of approximately 250 words) to be run with all bookings over a half page – subject to the editor’s discretion and as space allows for smaller bookings. This full colour, glossy information guide aims to aid in the decision-making process. The publication will be available for pickup throughout south-east Auckland and online at timeshouse.co.nz.

Young guns are firing C

onsidering the loyalty Steve Hansen’s All Black selection panel has given to its veterans, keeping young guns from overseas sharks leading up to the 2019 Rugby World Cup could be a tricky exercise. With Israel Dagg prolonging his contract, he should be the right wing favourite to start the June/July series against the British and Irish Lions, especially after injuries have currently sidelined Nehe Milner-Skudder and Waisake Naholo. Certainly Dagg filled the bill admirably with a prolific try-scoring performance last year. But although he is gifted, he lacks the lightening thrust the other two possess when fit and available. Loyalty in sticking to the incomparable Richie McCaw and Dan Carter paid a huge dividend when the All Blacks successfully defended their world crown in 2015. Having been plagued with injuries during and after the previous world championship in 2011, Carter was definitely not the form New

Despite performing so well in concert with LienartBrown last season, Crotty can expect a strong challenge from Sonny Bill Williams when the Blues second-five fully recovers from the injury which cut short his Rio Olympic sevens campaign. Meanwhile, the best performing No 12 in the Super 12 this year has been Hurricane Ngani Laumape who is just one of several young guns who are making a huge impact. Others include fellow Hurricanes Jordie Barrett and Vince Aso and Chiefs wizard Damian McKenzie. Having just turned 20, Barrett also fancies the No 12 jersey. But like older brother, Beauden, he’s shown he’s also a very talented fullback. McKenzie, also an exciting attacking fullback, should return to his true position at first-five when Aaron Cruden takes up his overseas contract at year’s end. So much talent coming through, but too few positions currently available for them to fill unless they are pre-

Agnew’s Angle Zealand Super Rugby firstfive. Yet he rose magnificently to the occasion to be named International Player of the Year when it mattered most. Other veterans like Ma’a Nonu and Conrad Smith also repaid the selectors for their loyalty. The only one who couldn’t was unfortunate loosehead prop Tony Woodcock who got injured early in the piece. Since then Dagg returned after missing World Cup duty to enjoy a splendid 2016 international season when Ryan Crotty and Anton LienartBrown seamlessly filled the midfield roles vacated by Nonu and Smith. Having served as McCaw’s deputy for so long, rugged Sam Cane finally took his chance but has plenty of competition from dynamic Ardie Savea and the accurate Matt Todd.

pared to exercise patience. Meanwhile Blues fans had cause to celebrate a deserved six tries to two 38-14 win against the Bulls with former St Kents student and Melbourne Storm league wing Matt Duffie nabbing two. There were some fine touches from fullback Michael Collins and powerful driving runs from Jerome Kaino and Patrick Tuipuloto to suggest there is much needed mongrel in the pack. Having showed grit to narrowly beat the Brumbies 18-13, the injury riddled Highlanders should beat the Rebels this Friday night in Dunedin. The Blues and Chiefs are favoured to win home games against the Force and Bulls respectively on Saturday when the Hurricanes should have too much firepower for the Reds in Brisbane. On Sunday, the unbeaten Crusaders should complete a New Zealand clean sweep at the expense of the Waratahs in Sydney. Ivan Agnew is an award-winning sports writer and author

QUICK: Dannemora’s Andre Heimgartner will next be on-track from May 26-28, for round three of the Carrera Cup Australia Championship at the Phillip Photo Edge Photographics Island Grand Prix Circuit.

Andre retains series lead

Andre Heimgartner crossed the line in third in the fourth Australian Grand Prix Carrera Cup Australia race on Sunday to walk away from the Melbourne event leading the championship by 34 points. The 21-year-old Dannemora driver entered the weekend on equal points for the series lead. Now with two seconds, a seventh and Sunday’s third, he is looking ahead to the next event in May with a nice buffer over David Wall. Heimgartner started seventh on the grid for Sunday’s fourth and final race of the weekend, moving up three positions within the first three corners in a strong display of speed and race craft. Later that lap, he came up behind team-mate Nick McBride and went to work on taking third place – getting it done with a clean and swift pass on lap three.

Protests begin over underfunding

COMPETITIVE: Arzan Todywalla showed his skills at the tournament.

Arzan shines at U17 Youth Tournament By NATHAN MORTON Many turned out to watch the Under 17 Youth Tournament earlier this month, which saw 36 football sides from across the country compete against one another at Seddon Fields in Western Springs. The competition gave the young prospects opportunities to show their skills for their respective sides, in hopes to win silverware and impress scouts present at the contest. Arzan Todywalla, a year 11 student attending Saint Kentergen College was among the sporting prodigies present, playing with Birkenhead United FC and going on to claim the trophy. The 15-year-old was approached by four different clubs to compete as a guest player, choosing Birkenhead as he was unable to compete with his current club Fencibles United, which did not participate

due to unknown reasons. However his friendly and polite nature allowed him to gel easily with the senior side. “Paul Hobson [Birkenhead’s head coach] and his team were very kind and welcoming,” Arzan said. “Although it was a very short span I learnt a lot from the team and Paul”. Arzan was also grateful to be a part of the tournament-winning side, which prevailed 2-0 over Onehunga Sports in the final which was covered by Sky Sports. This is not the first time that Arzan has made headlines for his footballing ability, his potential being recognized by European scouts as early as 2014. While most students his age were working away in class, Arzan was playing U13 football for English Championship team Birmingham City, scoring twice against Swansea City.

round 200 life-sized cutouts of missing health workers were erected at Botany Superclinic and at Middlemore Hospital to raise awareness about the impact of underfunding. YesWeCare.nz, a community and health workforce coalition, is travelling the country in a Roadshow, talking to communities about the impacts of underfunding and unmet healthcare needs. A pilot study published in the New Zealand Medical Journal this week found at least a quarter of adults were unable to get the primary health care they required. The study shows nine per cent of people had unmet secondary health care needs. YesWeCare.nz campaign coordinator Simon Oosterman says Government underfunding is to blame for lack of access to healthcare. “The new research on unmet need is appalling but isn’t surprising, because it reflects what we’ve heard around the country,” he says. “Kiwis who would benefit from surgery are suffering unnecessarily, and we’ve talked to hundreds of health professionals who are devastated they can’t do more.” Mr Oosterman says the sur-
