edoubt Road residents are calling for safety measures to be put in place following Sunday afternoon’s fatal car crash, which neighbours describe as a “very bizarre” incident. At about 12:15pm, a car came off the road and travelled 10 metres across a paddock before colliding with the side of a two-storey brick house. In the moments after the crash, witnesses saw a young Caucasian woman frantically pacing in the driveway, and emergency services pulling a front-seat passenger from the vehicle.

Neighbours say it sounded like someone had dropped a load of metal or rubble from the tailgate of a truck, or slammed a heavy door shut. Police have confirmed the 19-year-old female passenger died at the scene after 15 minutes of CPR treatment. The female driver – also 19 – was taken to hospital with moderate injuries. Police say the two people who were in the house at the time were not injured. Redoubt Road resident Grant McFlinn says the incident is a sobering reminder that the regularity of car crashes along the winding Redoubt Road is an ongoing issue for locals.

When Mr McFlinn first moved into his house 10 years ago, it was only six months before his fence was taken out by a driver. On Friday night, a section of his neighbour’s fence was also destroyed after a drunk driver swerved onto the property. It’s the third time this has occurred on neighbour Mahendra Prasad’s property in the past five years. “These fences have no capacity to stop a car,” says McFlinn. “We all knew that already, but we’ve just seen it twice in three days. It’s definitely concerning.” On the same stretch of road, about 500m up hill from the crash

site, a subdivision of residential houses is located down a bank, with merely a fence and a few trees to guard against cars going off the road. McFlinn calls it an accident waiting to happen. “If anyone goes through a fence on that corner, they won’t just be landing on the patio... they’ll be landing on top of somebody’s house.” For the past 14 years, Redoubt Road residents have successfully petitioned for an 80km/h speed limit to be reduced to 50km/h, but Mr McFlinn says drivers still fail to prepare themselves for the sharp bends by choosing to drive above ➤ Turn to Page 5 the current limit.

Lucy Schwaner’s surprise resignation this month has prompted a by-election

ADVERTISING 271 8029 sales@times.co.nz Classifieds 271 8055 classifieds@times.co.nz

By Scott Yeoman

he by-election for the recentlyvacated Botany subdivision seat on the Howick Local Board is estimated to cost more than $100,000, Auckland Council confirmed last week. The by-election was triggered by the surprise resignation of newlysworn in member Lucy Schwaner earlier this month. Ms Schwaner, the wife of Botany MP Jami-Lee Ross, quit minutes after being sworn in at the Howick Local Board’s inauguration ceremony after narrowly losing the vote for chairmanship to David Collings, 4-5. The by-election will be held on February 17, 2017. Auckland Council confirmed the by-election date to the Times early last week and provided more details about it last Thursday morning. It will be a postal vote like the October elections. Voting documents will be posted to the Botany subdivision’s approximately 37,000 eligible voters from January 26, with the ballot closing at 12pm on February 17. Council said there is no alternative under the Local Electoral Act but to run a by-election. The by-election will be conducted under the provisions of the Local Electoral Act 2001 and the Local Electoral Regulations 2001.

“The estimated cost of the byelection is expected to be over $100,000,” Council said in a statement. Council governance director Phil Wilson said earlier this month that under the legislation, there is no ability in this case to take the next highest polling candidate from the triennial election. “Where an extraordinary vacancy occurs between September 28 and November 20, a by-election cannot occur any earlier than Friday, 17 February, 2017,” he added. Candidate nominations open today (November 24) and will close at 12pm on December 22. Candidates can start campaigning for the by-election at any time, but election signs are only able to be erected on both public and private sites from December 17, 2016. The signs must be removed by midnight on February 16, 2017. A candidate seeking nomination needs to be over the age of 18, a New Zealand citizen registered on the electoral roll, and have two electors enrolled in the Botany subdivision nominate him or her. Each nomination must be accompanied by a $200 GST inclusive deposit, Council said. The Times had asked Council at the start of last week to confirm the expected cost of the by-election. Last Tuesday, a spokeswoman

said: “At this stage we won’t be able to confirm the estimated cost of the by-election until the proposed budget has been approved by the Council’s Finance and Performance Committee on November 30.” However, the Council spokeswoman was then able to confirm the estimated cost to the Times last Thursday morning. The result of the by-election will be available on the afternoon of Friday, February 17, and the Times will have live coverage of it on our website and on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Meanwhile, Lucy Schwaner responded to the Council’s by-election announcement with a statement last Thursday morning. “I have been contacted by some media outlets regarding a media release from Auckland Council today,” Ms Schwaner wrote. “I stand by my reasons for leaving the Howick Local Board. “It is unfortunate that there is a cost for appointing a replacement member of the Howick Local Board. However the cost to the community is far greater if the Howick Local Board were allowed to continue unchecked and without its deep problems or poor leadership highlighted for the public.” She said leaving the Howick Local Board “was the most honourable course of action given I have

no confidence in the leadership of David Collings”. Ms Schwaner said she outlined her reasons for departure in an open letter to the community two weeks ago. In her statement, she also referred to Mike Turinsky being the highest ranked unsuccessful candidate in the October election. “I note that the costs for a byelection can be avoided if other candidates and groups decide not to field a candidate and allow Mr Turinsky, as the first runner up, the opportunity to fill the vacancy unchallenged as many expect he should,” Ms Schwaner said. The Times approached Council in regards to this claim, but a spokeswoman said they would not comment on Ms Schwaner’s statement. “The position is that the process has to be followed and the nomination process starts again. If there is no contest and only one candidate is nominated that person will be declared elected and there will be no postal ballot. “If Mr Turinsky wishes to stand he will need to comply with the legal nomination process again like any other candidate.” ■■ Are you planning on running as a candidate in the Botany subdivision by-election?

Pumpkin Patch to cut 63 jobs at head office T

he receivers of Pumpkin Patch – which as its headquarters in East Tamaki and a store in Botany - have today advised that the sale process has not attracted a potential buyer and, therefore, it is no longer viable to trade the business in its current form. Receiver Brendon Gibson from KordaMentha said that without a serious expression of interest being received, there was no choice but to sell all stock and wind down the business. “Our focus since Pumpkin Patch entered receivership in October was to sell the business as going concern. Unfortunately, while the brand is attractive, the business itself ultimately drew no interest at the conclusion of the sale process,” he said. “We now move to the next phase of receivership which is to sell off all stock and begin to wind down the business. “This decision has not been made lightly and we acknowledge it will come as a blow to staff.” Mr Gibson said that while all stores will remain open until at least the end of December, there would be

News bites Car hits motorcyclist, flees scene Police are searching for the driver of a car which fled the scene of a serious crash in Whitford. The car collided with a motorcyclist on Whitford Rd around 5.15pm on Monday, forcing the road to shut temporarily between Somerville Rd and Broomfields Rd. Minor injuries were reported. Police enquiries are underway to trace the car which fled before police arrived.

immediate restructuring at head office resulting in the loss of 63 jobs this week. “Regrettably, we have had to advise a number of staff at head office that their jobs will be going. “They have been given access to EAP (Employee Assistance Programmes) support services and will receive their holiday pay and outstanding wages. We have had approaches from a number of agencies to assist

the redundant staff to find alternative employment and ensure they are aware of all support that is available,” Mr Gibson said. “It’s too early to say when individual stores will close. Our current intention is for all stores to remain trading until the end of the year with some confusing on into January as stock diminishes. The liquidation process will likely take until the end of February to complete.”

From this weekend all stock will go on sale. Gift vouchers will continue to be honoured on a dollar-for-dollar basis. However that opportunity will only remain available while the current stock is being sold. The receivers noted they have received interest for the Pumpkin Patch brand and would now run a process to optimise the value of that asset.

On Saturday, November 26, the Zonta Club of East Auckland and the other 28 Zonta clubs throughout New Zealand will unite with members of the local community to make a stand against gender based violence. The event will be a rally at the Band Rotunda at the corner of Uxbridge Road and Picton Street in Howick starting at 9am. The rotunda will be decorated with orange dolls wearing sashes on display and the members all wearing orange t-shirt and orange ribbons. Each year, the campaign covers 16 days of activism, from November 25 to December 11. Nearly 1200 Zonta clubs in 67 countries unite at this time for this very important cause. The Zonta Club of East Auckland was established 29 years ago.

Howick Local Board workshop Aimed at grassroots community groups and organisations, the Howick Local Board free workshop will inform and support you in hosting events. To be held on November 24 from 4-9pm, this is an opportunity to learn about basic event planning techniques and understand the regulatory requirements of running events in public spaces. You will also learn how to raise funds. Ongoing support is available after the workshop. Call Angela McNoe at 021 830 007.

‘I’m walking South Island’ By KELLY TEED

hile students up and down the country are planning to relax and unwind over the Summer holidays, 21-year-old Luke Johnson is preparing to walk the length of the South Island. The former Macleans College Student is walking the 13000km South Island portion of the Te Araroa Trail to raise awareness and money for the Halberg Disability Sports Foundation. Luke’s passion began as a student of Snell whanau house at high school where he was involved with supporting the Halberg Foundation. He said it was while he was helping out with a Special Olympics Day for kids with disabilities that he started to think what else he could do to help. “I remember seeing all those kids from those sports days having a blast and it made me

It was time to consider a better prevention strategy, he said. Mother-of-one Aggie Brown, who has lived on Redoubt Road for more than 14 years, agrees more needs to be done, and says the installation of speed cameras could be a great asset to the community. In December 2014, speed cameras were installed on the nearby Mill Road and Murphy’s Road, but not on Redoubt Road. The 54-year-old recalls the horror of a similar incident on her property 10 years ago, when a 15-year-old female driver and nine-year-old passenger ploughed through her fence, suspending their vehicle over a retaining wall. “She was extremely lucky,” says Mrs Brown. “If the car had hit our house, which is solid concrete, she would have died.” The 15-year-old driver needed 40 stitches in her face following the crash, but Mrs Brown says they never received an apology, or any compensation for the cost of repairing the fence. “Unfortunately, this won’t be the last. It just seems to be a continuing thing ... there’s a real issue with it.” The Serious Crash Unit is investigating the incident.

studying land surveying. He has so far raised more than $1000 dollars on his Givealittle page but hopes to raise as much as possible. “I’d be really stoked with $2000 – I know this trip will end up costing me a bit less than that so if I could raise more than that, that would be awesome.” The Te Araroa trail stretches from Cape Reinga in the north to Bluff in the south, however due to the length of university holidays, Luke only has time to complete the south Island portion this time around. However, he plans to complete the North Island portion of the track when he has more time. The Halberg Disability Sport Foundation is a charitable organisation that aims to enhance the lives of physically disabled New Zealander’s by enabling them to participate in sport and recreation.

TIMES APPEAL Howick. Unfortunately we were not able to progress our case a great deal and, instead, have to go through more test cases as required by Justice Christian Whata (presiding) before getting to the main hearing, which is scheduled to begin on November 28. It’s a long and arduous process. If we succeed with our High Court Appeal, then we

are able to progress to the Environment Court. Once more the association has spent hours poring over documents to carry the process forward in consultation with the barrister representing us. The petition to “Protect Stockade Hill Views” currently has more than 5600 signatures and HRRA has been attempting to deliver this to the Mayor and council for several weeks. However the council is reluctant to accept this. Surely the Mayor could accept the petition and acknowledge that a large number of local people are concerned about the loss of these iconic views, even if the council isn’t. The fund to support the

legal fight continues to grow bit by bit due to the generosity of so many people. The appeal total this week is $18,380. We are grateful to all those who have contributed and enabled us to get this far and to the Times for their support. “Please help us and contribute to this important cause,” the association said. “We need to raise substantially more funds or we will not be able to progress our case much further.” ■■ Howickians willing to support this urgent cause can make donations to “The Howick Ratepayers and Residents Association”, ASB Highland Park account number 12-3089-0123712-02.

he HRRA has lodged appeals in the Environment and High Courts against the council in an attempt to stop changes that would allow multiple 12-metre high buildings to be established from Bleakhouse to Park Hill roads on the seaward side of Stockade Hill, blocking views over the Hauraki Gulf from Stockade Hill and Crawford Reserve. This relatively small number of properties that have been up-zoned without any submissions could remove these iconic views from the public forever.

Our Accident Compensation Corporation SOLUTIONS, with the Citizens Advice Bureau Accident Compensation Corporation - ACC is New Zealand’s accident compensation scheme. It provides no-fault personal injury insurance cover to all New Zealand residents and visitors to New Zealand. This includes mental injury (due to a criminal act or resulting from physical injury), some forms of damage to prostheses, and death due to a physical injury. It can also include injury, which happens gradually because of your work. Compensation can be in the form of payments and / or help with the cost of treatment and rehabilitation. ACC provides cover instead of the ability to sue for personal injury. ACC does not provide cover if your personal injury has been caused by a degenerative condition or an age-related condition or illness. ACC generally doesn’t cover common illnesses, but you could be covered if the illness is caused by exposure to - for example – a poison, asbestos or workrelated exposure to disease (for example legionnaire’s disease.) ACC cover may be available to the deceased’s family when someone dies as a result of an accident, a work-related disease or infection, or medical treatment, even if the deceased had other insurance policies, and regardless of how old they were, or how or where the injury happened. Families of New Zealand residents fatally injured on a short trip overseas, and families of visitors who are fatally injured in New Zealand, may also be covered by ACC. If you are injured, your first step is to get treatment for the injury. The health professional that provides your treatment should help you fill in the appropriate form to register your ACC claim. If this does not happen, ask your treatment provider about filling out an ACC45 form. A list of treatment providers that can register ACC claims are on the ACC website. You will need to lodge your application within 12 months of your injury (late claims are allowed only in some cases). ACC can generally get back to you with their decision within 21 days. They will tell you whether your claim is accepted, and what kinds of assistance you are entitled to. The Code of Claimants Rights outlines what your rights are when you are dealing with ACC (but does not cover any issues of entitlement). As an ACC claimant you have the right to be treated fairly, and with dignity and respect, to have a support person (e.g. if you need to meet with ACC over a complaint), and to be fully informed about what is happening with your claim. If you feel that ACC has not respected your rights under the Code, you have several avenues for complaint: ■■ Complaining to the ACC staff member ■■ Complaining to Customer Support Service ■■ Complaint to Office of the Complaints Investigator Other agencies for complaints: The Privacy Commissioner (if you feel privacy has been breached) The Office of the Ombudsman (which deals with complaints against government agencies) The Health and Disability Commissioner (for complaints about your medical treatment or disability service) ■■ “Solutions” is a regular column from the Pakuranga Citizens Advice Bureau, Library Building, Pakuranga, Phone 5768331 email pakuranga@cab.org.nz and Botany Citizens Advice Bureau, Rear Food Court Entrance, Botany Town Centre, phone 271-5382 or phone 0800 267 222 for free, confidential and informative help.

Ferry commuter demands answers By Nick Krause

and events and receive instant notifications of updates to your ferry services. “Whether you travel with us regularly or not, MyFerry will make every journey with us easier and more efficient.” That didn’t happen yesterday morning. “There were no travel alerts to the app. No Fullers rep was at the wharf,” Mrs Devereux said. She called Fullers who explained the travel alert to the app had been processed but hadn’t gone through “for some reason”. “I explained this had happened before and asked to be called back with information on how it would be fixed but I haven’t received a call,” she told the Times. “They were very dismissive and didn’t seem too concerned about the lack of information they provide when a sailing is cancelled.” She commutes on the ferry twice a week and has done since June. “In that time it’s happened to me three times, so I would question how many other times this happens,” Mrs

699

Devereux said. “I got to the city at 8:40am after a one hour 10 minute commute. I was late for an 8:30am meeting. The ferry usually gets in a few minutes after 8am. “I know commuters on the Waiheke sailings are notified well in advance if there are cancellations so why shouldn’t we get the same service?” Fullers told the Times two vessels had broken down. The operator apologised for the MyFerry app apparently not advising passengers at Half Moon Bay and said he would advise the company’s IT department. Service schedule delays and cancellations would have been available via the Fullers website or text alerts. Auckland Transport’s media relations manager Mark Hannan would only confirm there was a late cancellation by Fullers. “Auckland Transport will be meeting Fullers (this week) to discuss this.” ■■ Have you had a similar experience?

n angry commuter is looking for answers after Fuller’s ferry failed to show for the 7.30am sailing from Half Moon Bay to the city on Friday. Maria Devereux, from Cockle Bay, said she and more than 100 passengers were left stranded after the no-show. The advertising creative director missed a morning meeting after she was left with no option but to drive into the city. She said it is also not the first time the Fullers ferry has not turned up. We were all lined up at the dock checking the time and wondering where the ferry was and I was just thinking ‘here we go again’. “People started panicking and cursing and then rushing for cars. I was so angry I was going to be late for work.” To add insult to injury, Mrs Devereux said there was no update via Fullers’ MyFerry app. The company website says the app was developed “to make ferry travel smarter and easier”. It reads: “The app will give you access to destination information, timetables and fares, purchase, view or use QR code tickets to board your ferry, renew your monthly and multi-trip passes, book tours

Pigeon Mountain Primary School Carnival

Times photos by Wayne Martin

Weather no problem for gala day Times Photographer Wayne Martin was there to capture the fun fiesta at the Christmas carnival in Pigeon Mountain Primary School. Over 2000 brave souls attended the Pigeon Mountain Primary School’s Christmas Carnival despite the weather!. The odd shower didn’t put anyone off having fun! The showers eventually gave way to sunshine which was a welcome respite. There were large queues of students and families hoping to dunk teachers in icy cold water, laughs principal Ian Dickinson. “The biggest attraction financially was the Chinese food stall, but the Nerf Gun firing range surprised us all with its popularity. Having a fun run at the start of the gala was a great way to get things underway, and a good opportunity for families to enjoy some active time together,” he says. The $17,000 made on the day ensures that the PTA’s goal to provide shade sails over both the junior and senior playgrounds, can be achieved. “These will be installed over the Christmas holidays and be in place ready for the New Year,” he says.

Now that’s a plot! REVIEW THE LADYKILLERS

Genre: Comedy / Drama Directed by: Laurie Mills Reviewed by: Sarah Ellis Times rating: HHHH The stage is set in Post War Britain. Mrs Wilberforce, a sweet little old lady, has a spare room to rent. She innocently welcomes Professor Marcus, a charming gentlemen and supposed classical musician, into her home. One by one The Professor’s eclectic fellow ‘band members’ come to practice for ‘the concert’, when in reality they are plotting a bank heist. As the innocent Mrs Wilberforce makes cups of tea for her lodger and his fellow gang members, she gets caught up in their plans and becomes an unsuspecting accomplice. The small cast is led by the talented and clever Ian Milnes who brings the character of Professor Marcus to life. Ian’s ability to create the mannerism and character idiosyncrasies of Professor Marcus is wonderful and has you racking your brains about who he reminds you of in real life. Ian also designed the set, which is brilliant and works very cleverly. Ian is not the only one that cre-

funny: Ian Milnes as Professor Marcus and right, Pam Browne as Mrs Wilberforce. Photo Sarah Ellis

ates a memorable character. The whole cast have strong acting credentials and strong presence on stage. Watch out for Henry Warner who plays the quirky Harry Robinson to perfection – very funny! At intermission you ask yourself where to from here – but the twists in the plot come thick and fast in the second half. You can always tell when a play is good - it has you comparing the experience with those you watched it with. The Ladykillers had my husband and me talking long after the show. ■■ Howick Little Theatre from November 12-December 3.

McLennan – contemporary homes in a community environment T

he McLennan Development at Takanini is an exciting new concept – a modern development built to foster trusted old values of community spirit. It combines an energy-efficient house design with parks and pathways for residents to meet and catch up with the neighbours.

Stage 1D of the overall 550 architecturallydesigned homes will be ready for occupation in October and November 2017. Sizes range from two to five bedroom homes, available in stand-alone single or doublestorey and terrace design homes. This initial stage of the development – Stage 1D – includes 23 homes – 15 fourbedroom terrace homes, 2 five-bedroom stand alone homes, and 6 two-bedroom homes. McLennan is located at 75 Walters Road in Takanini and the contemporary design of

the homes has already attracted lots of positive attention from architects and designers. McLennan will showcase the latest in architectural trends and is a perfect solution to the shortage of affordable, quality housing in this thriving area of south-east Auckland district. As a ‘turn key construction programme’ it means that buyers only pay 10 per cent on the signing of the contract and no further money is paid until the house is completed with its CCC and title. Prices will start from $619,000 for a twobedroom home to $865,000 for a five-bedroom home. The homes are architecturally-designed and expertly planned to create a thriving and vibrant new community. They will be located around beautifully landscaped laneways, which have been

designed to reduce traffic flow and make stepping outside the front door much safer. They also provide a quiet and friendly atmosphere for residents. Pocket parks are included at McLennan providing access to green space and safe play areas for children. They will also enhance the walkways connecting the wider neighbourhood. The variations in the size and design of the homes along with the types of materials and colours used means it will appeal to a wide range of people. It will attract a variety of different families and budgets while creating an attractive living environment for all. The wide range of homes McLennan offers will foster diversity among owners and create a balanced, safe and thriving community. McLennan includes a residents’ society (with an annual fee) which will cre-

ate a strong and cohesive community. With the Takanini Village approx 1km away, residents will have easy access to a new medical facility as well good retail therapy, choice of restaurants, cafes and other facilities. All of the homes are being sold off the plan and interest is high. So if you are searching for a new, affordable home within a secure community, McLennan could be the perfect location for you.

is on its way Emma Smith, the cheerful organiser who has been orchestrating the Howick Santa Parade singlehandedly for the past 10 years, says that she is thrilled with the response. “The number of groups participating every year has been increasing and I love the eclectic mix,” she says. “It’s wonderful to know that there are groups like Hare Krishna that come all the way from Riverhead, Kumeu, because they say they love our Howick Santa Parade.” Registrations for floats close on November 27. For local businesses who want to get their name in front of the community, there is a small fee of $200 that goes into the cost of running the parade. For local schools, community groups and clubs, entry is free. For more information visit www. howicksantaparade.co.nz or call 271-8014 between 10am-2pm.

From local schools like Howick Primary, Macleans Primary, Mellons Bay, Cockle Bay and Our Lady Star of the Sea School to service organisations like Rotary, and Howick Volunteer Fire Brigade, it’s amazing to see the community come together to make it a wonderful spectacle.. According to some of the elves who have been working hard on the parade, Santa will arrive on a float organised by Uxbridge Arts. Pre-parade entertainment by the Triple A Aerobic Academy will start at 1.30pm, so make sure you have a good vantage spot for yourselves. Whilst most spectators come and enjoy the kaleidoscopic show of creative floats, dance, song and entertainment, not many are aware of the people who put in the hard yards to make it look effortless. Organised by the Howick Children’s Charitable Trust, there are many forces that come together to make it all happen. Without support from the Howick Local Board, Times Newspapers, Pak’nSave Botany, Freightplus, Sign Formula and many volunteers, the Howick Santa Parade would not be the success it is.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Santa’s elves hard at work By Farida Master

ncidents of family violence are known to escalate during Christmas time. Christmas is one of the most stressful times for families, said Mat Badger, Salvation Army East City Corps officer, at the launch of the annual Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal. “We’ve known families who have been very distressed because their father walked out of the house on Christmas day and they have never seen him since,” he said. “It is a very emotional time for those who can’t afford to give their family the things they would like to at Christmas.” One of the longest-running gift gathering projects in New Zealand, the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal works with The Salvation Army to collect Christmas presents so that disadvantaged families can celebrate Christmas with a little more festivity. The target this year is to collect around 50,000 Christmas gifts nationwide. “We give parents the gifts along with the wrapping paper and sticking tape so that they can wrap them up and let their children believe that they’ve bought them for their children,” Mr Badger said. Any gift donations from the public (gifts do not need to be from Kmart) can be dropped at the Christmas trees located at Kmart stores nationwide. From there, the nation’s real elves, The Salvation Army, collect the gifts and distribute them to families in need.

Above: The launch of the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal in Botany in collaboration with The Salvation Army to collect Christmas gifts for those facing tough times. Left: Staff at Kmart sharing the Christmas spirit with shoppers. Times photos Farida Master

Store manager Kmart Botany, Teneile Patea hopes to double last year’s contribution. “Last year we collected 3000 gifts and this year we hope to push that figure to 6000,” she said after the celebratory cake cutting. All the shoppers at the store were given a piece of cake after the traditional blessing and a waiata; while manager Alice Teinakore kept the mood upbeat with lighthearted banter. Members of the Salvation Army East City Corps spread the cheer by singing the all-time-favourite Jingle Bells as everyone in the store merrily joined in.

Four very different women answer a flyer for “The Pink Hammer Workshop” -- a ladies-only woodwork class.

But does he have a choice?

Jim Wormold, an underemployed vacuum cleaner salesman in 1950s Cuba, is struggling to pay for his teenage daughter’s extravagant lifestyle. So when the British Secret Service asks him to become their “man in Havana”, he can’t afford to say no. There’s just one problem … he doesn’t know anything! A wonderfully funny and fast-moving romp.

Set in 1920s New York, the story follows Nick Carraway as he moves into a world of wealth and indulgence through an association with his mysterious neighbour Jay Gatsby. Nick is caught up in a story of love, longing and loss. Romance, yearning, gaiety, opulence, comedy, violence, betrayal, murder and tragedy – plus music – the story ticks every box.

Ex-tennis pro Tony Wendice wants to have his rich wife murdered so he can get his hands on her inheritance. When he discovers her affair with Max Halliday, he comes up with the perfect plan to kill her, but the carefully orchestrated set-up involving an old schoolmate goes awry. Now he must outwit the police and avoid having his plot detected.

Every Tuesday, the Cabin Fever Club meet for coffee at Devonport’s Sour Dough Café. They are literary types -- cantankerous, opinionated and often amusing. What binds them together is their mutual love of books. But with the unstoppable advance of technology putting their livelihoods under threat, will it mean the end of books? A play with shelf-loads of laughs.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Gifts to enjoy to the last drop

From breaking eggs and washing fruit to mixing the ingredients, there are so many tasks kids can safely do in the kitchen.

Do your friends and family love to toast on special occasions? Christmas lunches, dinners and barbecues will bring Kiwis together this holiday season and there are many options available to keep everyone happy. Here are a few drinkable gift ideas they’re sure to love: ✦ Tea – Vanilla, caramel, peppermint, oolong, pu’erh, matcha, ginger— there’s a lot more than Earl Grey on today’s tea scene. ✦ Hot chocolate – Whether storebought or homemade (you’ll find tons of recipe ideas online), nothing beats a soothing mug of hot chocolate on a cold winter day. ✦ Herbal teas – Great for relaxation, digestion or simply warming up, herbal teas are renowned for their many virtues. Sweet, tart or spicy— what flavours do your friends and family most enjoy? ✦ Coffee – Latté mixes, flavored coffees, imported coffees, sustainable brands; there’s a wide range of specialty coffees available on the market today. Give someone a bag of their favourite blend, or help them discover something new! ✦ Beer – For the hops lover in your

Kitchen kids

hy not let the kids help you tackle your holiday to-dos by delegating some tasks around the kitchen? Here are some tips to keep things fun and chaos-free. Ask for your kids’ input as soon as you start planning your holiday meals. Show them a few recipe options and let them choose their favourite, which they’ll then need to help you prepare. Sit down together to list the ingredients you’ll need, and then head to the grocery store to pick everything up. Before you start to cook, ask your children to wash their hands and remind them not to lick their fingers while preparing food. You should also give them an apron to wear. To make sure they understand each step, read the entire recipe with them and explain the different cooking terms used.

Kid-friendly tasks Depending on their age, your children can help you cook in a variety of ways. Among other things they can: ✦ Wash fruits and vegetables and mash them with a fork ✦ Squeeze fruits to extract the juice ✦ Cut soft foods with rounded scissors ✦ Measure and pour dry ingredients ✦ Break eggs ✦ Grease baking sheets and muffin pans ✦ Spread dough with a rolling pin ✦ Shape dough into balls (or use a cookie cutter) ✦ Mix the ingredients Finally, once your recipe is complete, your children will be able to help you straighten up the kitchen. Remind them not to touch any dishes or food before they’ve had a chance to cool off. Voilà—all that’s left is the taste test!

LONE STAR BOTANY

life, an assortment of locally brewed beers should do the trick. ✦ Cider – Sparkling or flat, iced or warm, cider has the ability to make all taste buds happy—as an aperitif or for dessert, or even along with the main course! ✦ Wine and spirits – Whether your friends prefer wine or brandy, you can’t go wrong by giving your hosts a nice bottle to share on a special occasion. Are you looking for something unique? Why not wrap up some artisanal soft drinks, or even a few bottles of luxury sparkling water?

Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 35 minutes Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS ✦ 1 head of garlic ✦ 1 tbsp vegetable oil ✦ 4 conﬁt duck legs (found at some supermarkets, specialist stores or butchers) ✦ 8 red potatoes, washed, diced, skin on ✦ 1/2 cup butter ✦ 1/3 cup cream ✦ Salt and pepper, to taste For the sauce ✦ 1 small shallot, ﬁnely chopped ✦ 2 tbsp jam, your choice ✦ 2 tbsp maple syrup ✦ Salt, to taste

DIRECTIONS Heat oven according to duck leg package directions. Trim top oﬀ head of garlic to expose tops of cloves. Place garlic on a square sheet of foil and drizzle with vegetable oil. Wrap garlic, seal pouch and place it in oven. Put duck legs in a shallow

dish then place in oven with garlic for 20-25 mins. Boil potatoes in salted water for about 10 mins or until soft. Drain. Remove garlic from oven, open foil and let cool. Add butter and cream to potatoes and beat until they become smooth and creamy. Press garlic with ﬁngers to remove centre cloves (they should be a nice golden hue and a paste-like consistency; crush if needed). Add to potatoes, mix well, and season with salt and pepper. Remove duck legs from oven. In a small saucepan, use 2-3 tbsp of duck fat to sauté the shallots for a few minutes without browning them. Add jam and maple syrup. Mix well and salt.

garlic, rosemary, broth and quartered oranges. Add salt and pepper. Mix well. Cover and put in oven for 90 minutes. Stir occasionally, basting the chicken legs with the broth. Serve on thinly sliced oranges and drizzle with cooking juices.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Celebrate a German Christmas

ho else could possibly be better equipped to present A German Christmas in New Zealand than Bach Musica NZ with their very own German music and artistic director Rita Paczian. A New Zealand resident for more than two decades, this internationally highly sought-after conductor is regarded as one of Australasia’s most dynamic. She is also known to frequently include New Zealand premieres in her programmes, contributing to the ever-growing musical spectrum in Aotearoa. It is of no surprise that for this final concert of Bach Musica’s 2016 season, Rita Paczian has chosen two rarely performed Christmas Cantatas by Georg Philipp Telemann to be presented for the first time on New Zealand soil. On a side note, Georg Friedrich Telemann, considered Germany’s most famous composer at one point, was music director at St Jacob’s church - Rita’s old church in Hamburg! Bach Musica NZ will also be featuring a range of NZ’s finest soloists. Their impressive CVs include highlights such as playing for the Queen at a private dinner party, graduating with a BSc in Psychology and Mathematics, winning a RNZ Concert Listeners’ Choice Award, and Soprano Madison Nonoa being the runner-up of this year’s Lexus Song Quest. She, counter-tenor Stephen Diaz, tenor Iain Tetley and baritone Jarvis Dams will be

There might not be snow, candied apples or mulled wine, but there certainly will be the spirit of a traditional German Christmas in the music. Photo supplied joined by Huw Dann on trumpet, and Alison Dunlop and Alison Jepson on oboe. There might not be snow, candied apples or mulled wine, but there certainly will be the spirit of a traditional German Christmas in the music. And that is the true spirit of A German Christmas.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Midnight Madness glowing success

idnight Madness has been dubbed a glowing success. Howick Village Business Association manager Jenny Foster says she cannot be sure of exact numbers but believes the crowd exceeded those of previous years. “In the past, council have estimated 30,000 to 40,000,” she said. “I think it was busier this year because we had more families.” Visitors weren’t the only ones wearing big smiles. “Most of the retailers were very happy. We were very happy, as were the police,” she said. “All-inall it was another great night for Howick and the weather was magic. “We’re looking forward to the next one.”

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Mumtrepreneurs host local market

n Saturday, November 26, the East Auckland Mums with Bubs in Biz network will hold its ﬁrst market at Howick’s Picton Centre. The Howick Mums Christmas Market runs from 9.30am until 12.30, and features sweet treats, gourmet oils and spices, furniture, baby and children’s clothing, wellness products and services (including free chiropractic assessments), handmade candles, and unique, handmade jewellery. The market also oﬀers a range of children’s entertainment and activities, including face painting, a play area, and interactive music sessions. East Auckland Mums with Bubs in Biz is the initiative of two local mumtrepreneur, Clare Williamson and Holly Blair. The two women connected through their passion for supporting other mums juggling young children and business. “We’ve both come across obstacles, and thought ‘how could we make it easier for other mums in business?’“ says Clare. “How can we facilitate the freedom for mums to pursue their dreams?” she says. They plan for the business network to host regular meetings, markets, and other events. The market is sponsored by Connections in the Home, an in-home childcare provider. For enquiries about the market and/or business network, please call Holly or Clare on 022-108-4165.

Gift ideas for teens It isn’t always easy to find the perfect gift for teenagers. Of course, the first thing you need to take into account is the specific interests of the teens on your gift list. Here are some suggestions that will make them really happy on Christmas morning.

Techie teens

WHAT: Howick Mums Christmas Market WHEN: Saturday November 26, 9.30am-12.30pm WHERE: Picton Centre, 120 Picton St, Howick

Most teenagers love tech gadgets and toys. Try one of these: ✦ A USB key with a diﬀerence (in the shape of an animal or that features a cartoon character or that’s integrated into a piece of jewellery) ✦ A vibrating speaker that can be connected to a musical device ✦ A backpack with a gadget for recharging electronic devices (game consoles, cell phones, MP3 players) ✦ A kit that includes a digitiser and stylus for transforming a standard screen into a touch screen

Active teens Try one of the following products for young people who love sports. They’re both popular with teenagers. ✦ A Ripstik/wave board (a twowheeled hinged skateboard that swivels 360 degrees)

✦ Kangoo Jumps (boots equipped with a tension spring for bouncing – they’re fun for walking, aerobics or running)

Stylish teens Teens, especially girls, pay serious attention to their physical appearance. For Christmas, you could oﬀer your teen one of these treats: ✦ A gift certiﬁcate for a haircut, colouring and styling ✦ A gift card from her favourite clothing store ✦ Products from her preferred line of cosmetics ✦ A session of professional body treatments (scrub, wrap, body hair removal, etc.)

SALON OF THE YEAR 2016

How does Priapus Shot Work?

The natural serum that produces the effects of the Priapus Shot® is known as the platelet-rich fibrin matrix or PRFM. The treatment takes about 15 min-

utes to perform using a tiny needle (a topical anaesthetic makes the process virtually painless), but 60-75 mins is allowed for a full consultation and treatment. Benefits typically include tissue growth, growth of new blood vessels and stronger erections. And, because the treatment uses the patient’s own enriched blood enriched plasma, it is non-allergenic and free of harmful side effects.

What will the Priapus Shot® do for me? • Increases firmness of erection and enhanced appearance • Increases penile length and girth • Increases blood flow and circulation • Improved sexual capabilities • Increased sexual stamina, sensation and pleasure Note that individual responses do occur. Using the same propriety techniques used in the P-Shot® Dr Morunga can also deliver the parallel female treatment called the O-Shot® which also enhances sexual function in women and helps in urinary incontinence.

Feedback Council confirms 18 metre height limits next to Stockade Hill Local residents in Howick will be very aware of the legal actions being taken to preserve the irreplaceable view from the top of Stockade Hill, both across the gulf and down Picton Street. Council planners concede that their final plans for the area were not what they publicised earlier. They have confirmed that the current business mixed use zoning permits developments up to 18 metres in height, including the roof line. Properties zoned for the increased height development are on both sides of the Crawford Reserve; at the top of Picton Street on either side of Walter MacDonald Street, and down some of Wellington Street and Fencible Drive. This is in addition to the four storey residential housing zoning which is the subject of the legal action by Howick Ratepayers and Residents Association. Although there is a viewshaft protection from Stockade Hill, the planners agree that earlier viewshafts in the area have been “compromised”. On a separate issue for Howick, the council planners have commenced consultation with local interested groups and the local Board on producing a development plan for Howick. They hope to have a draft plan completed by February 2017.

Your opinion matters to us. Email us at editor@times.co.nz; comment on our Facebook page, facebook.com/ timesonlinenz; or write to us at The Editor, Times Newspapers, PO Box 259-243, Botany, Auckland 2163; fax (09) 271-8073.

However, they have no timetable for developing a special character statement for the centre of Howick, in accordance with the judgments from the Independent Hearings Panel. They are now suggesting that to comply with this decision to produce a character statement will require a full plan change, which is not in their current work programme. We see the two requirements of a Character Statement and a development plan as closely aligned, with agreement on character underpinning development plans. Laurie Slee Chair, Cockle Bay Residents and Ratepayers Association

An easier solution

I read with some disquiet in your paper concerning the Howick Board that a by-election to replace the member who has just resigned would cost the ratepayer between $10,000 and $40,000. Would not an easier and cost free solution be to take the next person on the list who stood in the last Local Body Election but who failed to get in and appoint them to the position, simple and fair. Jane and Bob Reynolds, Howick Editor’s note: At the time of writing those initial stories, we arrived at these estimates based on recent local government by-elections in other centres in NZ.

However council confirmed last Thursday that the by-election for the recently-vacated Botany subdivision seat on the Howick Local Board is estimated to cost more than $100,000. Lucy Schwaner, whose surprise resignation sparked the by-election, responded to the by-election cost announcement on Thursday: “I note that the costs for a by-election can be avoided if other candidates and groups decide not to field a candidate and allow Mr Turinsky, as the first runner up, the opportunity to fill the vacancy unchallenged as many expect he should,” Ms Schwaner said. As we reported last week, council tole the Times: “The position is that the process has to be followed and the nomination process starts again. If there is no contest and only one candidate is nominated that person will be declared elected and there will be no postal ballot. If Mr Turinsky wishes to stand, he will need to comply with the legal nomination process again like any other candidate.”

Creating an art studio A

n art studio at home is the perfect place to express creativity without having to stow away works in progress. Regardless of whether it’s for painting, sculpting or drawing, chances are the home studio will be just as unique as the artist in residence. Personal preferences aside, there are some basics that all fun and functional art studios require. ■■ Proper lighting The best light to work by is natural. But white fluorescent lighting will get the job done

if the studio doesn’t have any windows. ■■ Good ventilation Fresh air is always a good thing, regardless of the craft. However, some artists tend to work with products that emit harmful fumes, such as oil paints. If the studio doesn’t have any windows, make sure to have a fan or two on hand to keep the air circulating. ■■ Easily accessible supplies Tools are the agents of an artist’s creations, so take good care of them. Storage boxes, bins and cabinets are great for

keeping supplies organised and clean. ■■ A comfortable setting When the time comes to take a step back and muse over handiwork, make sure there is somewhere relaxing to do it. Cosy chairs, a radio or even a coffee maker will provide the necessary comforts when you feel drained. ■■ Private gallery The studio will eventually become an art gallery. Hooks, shelves, tables and easels are useful for hanging or displaying work, as well as your reference photos.

Sensational summer at Grangers I

by world-class music. The owners and staff are all very upbeat about the upcoming summer season which will feature other performances by Nathan Haines as well as Loughton Kora (from the popular band, Kora) along with an outdoor bar on weekends and a fresh juice bar and smoothie bar to open in December. “The new summer menus are out both for Grangers and Marina Cantina and already proving very successful,” says Richard Cooke, who runs the two businesses in partnership with Gina and Clinton Henry.

On the new season’s Grangers’ menu, the raw tuna and avocado bowl with buckwheat, green rice, heirloom tomato, picked cucumber and sesame and the scallop and scampi linguine with lime and chilli are the two current favourite dishes, according to Gina. The team at Farm Cove Butchery is also working closely with the Grangers’ chefs to provide beautiful cuts of beef for steaks (including a 21-day dry aged rib-eye on the bone) and their famous beef burger. Popular choices from the Cheese Safe at Grangers

include the French Tomme De Brebis (unpasteurised sheep milk) presented with honeycomb, Camembert Le Bocage (also unpasteurised and from France) with balsamic strawberry compote and the Italian Gorgonzola Dolce with pear and almonds. The new beer now on tap is the world’s leading brand Japanese-made, Asahi Super Dry. The comprehensive selection of beer and cider include the locally-produced Boundary Road and also Somersby Apple Cider. Over on the Marina Cantina side, there are some superb Mexican meals and

cheeky cocktails to share. The Mai Tai cocktails are now presented in colourful tiki cups – in keeping with the cantina’s vibrant and fun décor. There is also a spiced Pina Colada – which has been described as “summer in a cocktail.” For those who love to drink rosé, the Squealing Pig winemaker in Central Otago has formulated a very special frozen rosé for Grangers and the Cantina customers called a Frosé. Try it and you will be as happy as a pig in mud on a

summer’s day. In December, the team will introduce their fresh juice and smoothie bar as a special addition to the weekend brunch menu. With the million dollar views and laidback ambience, make the most of a sizzling summer at Grangers and Marina Cantina.

It’s also the first birthday of the adjacent Marina Cantina and the specials on drinks will be flowing throughout the night.

nly rarely does one find a home that has everything you could possibly want, however, this is one such home. Designed to interact seamlessly with its lush, beautifully laid out and immacuately maintained gardens and ultilising various levels to achieve a most effective layout, all of the living areas link perfectly, ultimately flowing into gorgeous, scenic undercover and al fresco living venues. The formal sections are elegant and luxurious, the top quality kitchen magnificently equipped and visually stunning and the family living areas offering an exemplary level of both comfort and style. There are four beautiful bedrooms – the master suite with dressing room, air conditioning and underfloor

heating in the en suite. There are two more family bathrooms, three living areas and the flexibility to create an annexe for visitors. Outdoors, numerous nooks cater for lazy day relaxation as does the large, fully fenced salt water pool. There’s an art studio tucked away in the gardens, numerous sheds and storage, water tanks and ponds. In fact, you name it and it is most probably here! We believe the discerning buyer with an eye for quality will be quick to inspect. • 4 bedrooms • 2 car garaging • 2.9 hectares • Barn and out buildings

• 3 bathrooms • Wi-Fi, alarm and HRV • 8 paddocks • Artist’s studio

‘Dutchie’ nabs record and man of match

Premier women clean up Marist

owick Pakuranga Cricket Club’s Colin ‘Dutchie’ de Grandhomme has notched up a brilliant record on his debut for the Black Caps. De Grandhomme was also named Man of the Match as the Black Caps cruised to victory against Pakistan in Christchurch. The Auckland Aces all-rounder recorded a brilliant 1st innings 6/41. The Black Caps secured a convincing victory over Pakistan in their test match at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Sunday. Jeet Raval – the team’s other debutant - hit a short ball to the square leg boundary to clinch New Zealand’s eight wicket victory. It was an incredible start for de Grandhomme who took six test wickets and a record for the Black Caps in the test match. He picked up his maiden test wicket after coming into the attack in the ninth over and cleaning up Azhar Ali for 15 with a beauty which ripped out Ali’s off stump. By lunch (day two - the first day

was rained off) he had taken 3-23 with Pakistan at 88-4. De Grandhomme’s second wicket was a lovely out swinger that Babar Azam edged to Ross Taylor at first slip. NZ were 53-3. His third wicket – which put him on 3-20- claimed the big wicket of Yonis Khan for 2. The ball pitched up, swung and was caught in the cordon.

And his fourth wicket came after lunch. De Grandhomme was on fire. He picked up the wicket of Asad Shafiq. His bowling figures at that point - 4/30 off 11.

Just Hardwood Floors Howick Premier Men v Marist – Score 2-3 – loss Just Hardwood Floors Howick Premier Men failed to score a win against a tough Marist side despite getting seven runners on base throughout the game. Whilst the game was extremely close with the Howick side scoring 1 run in the first Innings by a huge home run from Jarrod Bailey out to centre field and a further home run to Harry Valk to right field in the 3rd innings, this did not prove to be enough against the Marist side who scored all their runs (3 in total) in the 3rd innings. Harry Valk was outstanding with the bat throughout the entire game with three solid hits from three turns at bat. Huw Davies also smashed a hit to centre field but got tagged out trying to steal 2nd. Greg Anderson pitched for the Marist side gaining only one strikeout, compared to Howick’s Campbell Gibson who had a formidable 12 strikeouts. Unfortunately, the Howick batters failed to do enough damage with the bat whereas Marist capitalised on a few hits and a couple of fielding errors by the Howick side to outscore the disappointed Howick side.

De Grandhomme has a blinder on debut Page 47

Beachlands golfer Ryan Fox has finished tied for fourth at the Australian Open in Sydney. Fox, the son of All Black great and selector Grant Fox, began the final round on Sunday in a tie for second, two shots back from leader Geoff Ogilvy. Playing with world No 5 Jordan Spieth at the Royal Sydney Golf Club, Fox finished with a one-under 71 on the final day leaving him 10-under for the tournament and tied for fourth with four others. Spieth joined Australians Ashley Hall and Cameron Smith tied for the lead at 12-under, then went on to win the event on the first play-off hole. Fox told the Times he was extremely happy with the week. “To contend in that kind of company on Sunday afternoon was a great experience,” he said. “If a couple more putts had of gone in on that back nine, things could have been different but very pleasing to play well in that situation. “(It was) a great learning experience to play with Jordan on Sunday and to see how he hung in there all day and managed to sneak a win late on that back nine. “He was a pleasure to play with and nice to know I can compete with one of the best players in the world.”

Ireland boosts Lions’ belief

reland’s two outstanding rugby tests against the All Blacks should dispel fears that next year’s British Lions and Ireland tour of New Zealand will be a disaster for the tourists. Sure it is a tough, embracing three tests and matches against our five Super Rugby franchises, as well as a Maori All Blacks team which will need to improve dramatically on its recent poor form. But Ireland went beyond hope to offering confidence with their historic 40-29 triumph in Chicago and their gutsy 9-21 loss in Dublin. Only the sheer brilliance of Beauden Barrett and a magnificent defence saved the All Blacks’ bacon on Irish soil last Sunday when Ireland comprehensively won the battle for the ball and retained it for long periods. Having scored one himself and helping set up Malakai Fekitoa’s two tries, Barrett put his stamp on this test as easily the All Blacks

star performer. He also denied Ireland what seemed like a certain try with his ball-and-all tackle on rampaging flanker Sean O’Brien. It was a game that also confirmed Fekitoa’s growing confidence following another two-try effort against Italy in Rome despite being sin-binned for a careless tackle on Simon Zebo. Tough Sam Cane suffered a similar fate following his head clash that ko’d Robbie Henshaw. Although it wasn’t deliberate, the loss of Henshaw and fellow fiveeighth Johnny Sexton was a crushing blow to Irish hopes after both had starred in the Chicago win along with halfback Conor Murray. Hence it was left to the Irish forwards to carry the attack to New Zealand, with prop Tadhg Furlong a powerhouse and flankers Sean O’Brien and Josh van der Flier absolutely brilliant. With the penalty count going 14-4 against them, the

Agnew’s Angle

All Blacks do have off side and high tackle discipline issues which need to be addressed. But once again they showed they have tremendous character. Furthermore with Aaron Smith only a shadow of the classy player who performed so well at home, PJ Perenara is currently the team’s best halfback both on attack and defence. As such, he should start in next Sunday’s final test against France. Of the newcomers, none have impressed more than Anton Lienert-Brown who made 15 tackles in the Dublin test and whose slick passes have set up so many tries throughout the season. Liam Squire is another success story with his strong running and bonecrunching tackles and Beauden Barrett’s not so little brother, Scott, has made a fine debut at lock. Taken on tour as an apprentice, third brother Brodie should benefit from the experience when he

plays with Beauden for the Super Rugby champion Hurricanes next year. Fears expressed in this column about the Kiwis lack of structure were once more realised with their pathetic 34-8 Four Nations rugby league final loss to the Kangaroos. I share Richie Barnett’s concern about the coaching staff and agree with his claim that this was the poorest performance from a Kiwis side in a Four Nations series. At their best, the forwards bash and barge okay but too often die with the ball and seem devoid of practised moves. Ditto the backs who too often drift sideways at half pace instead of accelerating straight onto the ball, committing tacklers and putting teammates through gaps. What a sad slump form their glorious 2014 Four Nations triumph! Ivan Agnew is an awardwinning sports writer and author
