Blue steel: Collins crushes Kainga Ora

By JIM BIRCHALL

T

he Government is so haphazard on housing that the Minister of Finance wasn’t even aware Kainga Ora has been spending millions buying houses out from under the nose of potential first-home buyers, National’s Housing spokesperson Judith Collins claims.

Information supplied to the National Party by Housing Minister Megan Woods shows Kainga Ora – formerly Housing NZ - purchased five properties on Nelson St in Howick for $4.8 million last year.

Ms Collins joined Pakuranga MP Simeon Brown at the Nelson St address on Friday where the houses

sold for an average of $972,000 each after attending a SuperBlues (the National Party’s advisory group for seniors) meeting at Howick Bowling Club. Calling Kainga Ora’s actions “a concerning practice” she stated the money “could be used elsewhere”, while Mr Brown added the government should be “developing their own land, not buying off developers”.

“The Finance Minister was redfaced at Select Committee today after being told this was happening on his watch,” Collins said.

“How can this Government credibly claim to be looking out for firsthome buyers when it is spending so much public money buying homes

in Auckland before others can get a sniff? Rather than spending almost $5 million on just five houses to inflate its state housing portfolio, the Government should be building new houses elsewhere.”

Collins said she was aware of other houses in Auckland that have been purchased by Kainga Ora at a cost of nearly a million per house.

“This Government cannot be trusted on housing. KiwiBuild has been a complete disaster while many of the state houses the Government claims to have built were either contracted or already under construction when the previous National Government was in power,” she said.

“It’s a tragedy that almost 15,000 families are waiting for state houses under this Government because of its inability to build houses and its meddling in the rental market.

The previous National Government built more than 3200 state houses and left office with more than 27,000 homes in the development pipeline, she said.

“If elected this year we will restart our good work by actually delivering on our policies and getting rid of the RMA.” Earlier at the lively SuperBlues meeting, Collins championed her party’s line of removing regulations to increase economic productivity, in a so-called ‘regulation bonfire’,

should it win the general election.

Collins also made her feelings on Jacinda Ardern’s alleged disdain for the farming community, by saying “she doesn’t like rural people.. blames farmers for everything” and objected to Arden’s alleged disrespect for the older generation, ones who “have been around longer than she has” and stated she saw this as symptomatic of “the nastiness of international socialism”.

Green MP Chloe Swarbrick, famous for her “OK Boomer” comments was also in the firing line with Collins calling her a “silly child” who had exhibited “stupid behaviour” by referring to a National MP with apparent disdain.

Recently, to their dismay, the bank account of a person close to me was closed, while they were traveling, by one of the Big 4 banks.

Other people have had accounts closed by banks, and financial institutions, who disagree with their customers political or even moral behaviour (e.g. tattoo artists and consenting sex workers).

Last month, Kiwibank announced that they would no longer be operating chequing accounts – one could argue that the convenience of cheques is ‘a cost of doing business’ for the banking industry – a ‘customer service’. Banking’s origins lie in promissory notes.

In 2019, I participated in a Reserve Bank of NZ survey concerning the future of cash in NZ and received interesting feedback in December.

This feedback reflected Australian banks’ efforts to dispose of, or reduce, the use of cash. The claim is that this is of legal or tax value to society – claims which are overblown.

In 2019 (Stuff, February 4, 2019) a damning Royal Commission’s report found most major banks in Australia, many which own NZ banks, to be negligent and exploitative of their customers.

The result of banks’ successful lobbying for a cashless society would be that every transaction passes through a financial institution. It is all recorded, and they make an additional margin on everything – which we pay for.

Cash is vital as practical relief from administrative error or commercial or government financial persecution.

As a bank account is essential in

approved?

Then at the MetlifeCare Retirement Development on the golf course side, all perimeter trees (large firs and conifers) have been cut down, not forgetting those on the whole stand.

Green lungs turned into desert. One despairs. Where are our councillors?

Developments are acceptable if a balance is struck leaving some of the vegetation especially mature trees for shade, beauty and consideration of neighbours and the community.

Developments should not be wallto-wall as nature needs more than a toehold to survive. Developments should not exceed 75 per cent of the land area to allow water absorption and stop run off.

Elim was an oasis in the Sinai peninsula with date palms during the exodus. Alas not in Botany. With the consequences of climate change overwhelming us, green space is precious and needs protection for all new developments.

Unsightly developments

Steve Lincoln

The developments at the corner of Cascades and Botany Roads are distressing.

Virtually all the trees and vegetation including a large oak tree were removed for a new housing development on the east corner.

It really needs to be screened with trees as it looks like a backyard stand in the CBD and degrades the area.

Remember Elim removed three or four palm trees outside the school last year for safety reasons. Greening here would be most welcome too.

Also, losing the church and school parking means more cars on the street. How could this have been be

Poem for the dead

Last year I wrote this poem after the terrible Christchurch massacre.

I wrote it with a sad heart as I thought of the futility of the senseless

anguish one person caused.

I called my poem ‘Flowers for Islam’.

And they came, they kept coming.

Side by side, piled up in gay profusion.

Flowers.

Like an enveloping comforter to blanket the broken-hearted.

The power of flowers-bright, sweet, colourful, a sample of life’s happy future, hopes and dreams So, life is not a bed of roses, is it?

But, it can, with care, nurture the soul like a bud blooming into a beautiful rose.

All or nothing

Steve Lincoln suggests that “we should educate our youth in religious studies”, but then zooms in on one religion and makes only one passing reluctant acknowledgement of the existence of “other faiths”.

No, Steve. Either we teach religion with equal emphasis, equal enthusiasm, equal time, and equal weighting in exams for each or at least the world’s main religions (Agnosticism, Athiesm, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism, etc.), or we teach none of it.

We live in a diverse multi-cultural city, country, and world and to emphasise any religious persuasion over any other amounts to brainwashing those with malleable minds and that amounts to child abuse which is prejudicial, intolerable and unacceptable.

It’s all or nothing.

Do the job properly or don’t do it at all.

Classic car restorer and collector Clive Butler in his beloved workshop with three of the Alvis cars he’ll have on show - the TD21 (silver); the TA21 (maroon) and 12/40 (with top down).

Clive’s long affair with Alvis

By NICK KRAUSE

C

live Butler moves about his East Tamaki workshop with purpose.

There’s always a project, always something to fix or manufacture or rebuild. Even with nine cars parked in there (eight classic cars and his modern ride, a Lexus SUV), there’s lots of room to move. And that doesn’t take into account the multitude of machines which can shape steel or cut metal, mill precast parts (made when they cannot source what they need) and there’s even a sandblasting cabinet.

Alvis cars, British manufactured vehicles produced in Coventry from 1919 to 1967, have been getting him out of bed for decades. Clive runs his hand over each of the three as he explains more of their provenance.

These three – a 1923 12/40; a 1952 TA21 and a 1963 TD21 – will be the models he’ll be displaying at the Brit

& Euro Classic Car Show at Lloyd Elsmore Park on March 1.

There is also Alvis which he’s working on for someone else and his three BSA classic cars are parked away (one under covers and another being rebuilt) to the side.

Parts. That’s what fills up the large mezzanine. It takes careful manoeuvring to slip past panels of all ages and conditions, radiators and other unidentifiable treasures.

On the ground floor there meticulously regimented boxes containing just about every conceivable spare part that might be needed for all kinds of Alvis vehicles. Each and every part has been categorised to a log to ensure easy location – a library if you will.

Clive, 76, a former draughtsman (mostly in the field of engineering) explains though that these parts belong to the Alvis Club and were relocated to his workshop as the last

spot was small and damp. He pulls a newly-moulded sump cover he’s had made for another Alvis follower from a shelf. He’ll do the fine milling there himself.

The club itself is a celebration in itself and turns 100 in March, an anniversary many Alvis fans from NZ and abroad will mark with two simultaneous tours – one starting from Bluff and the other from Cape Reinga with the groups converging on Blenheim.

The choice of which to drive is simple. It will be the TD21, which has already been to the South Island four times. Madly comfortable, the 3L six-cylinder beauty is a two door cruising saloon with a top speed of 170km/h and cruises comfortably at 100km/h.

“It’s my favourite one, the one I use the most when I’m doing long journeys. There’s nothing like driving in comfort,” says Clive, from

Dannemora.

The TA21, a 3L straight six twin carb classic, is a typical labour of love. “When I got it in 2015, it had been sitting in a shed for 30 years.

It’s had a complete rebuild and can also cruise at 100km/h.”

Arguably the most eye-catching is the crowd favourite – the 12/40, distinctive with it’s top down and classic styling. Only 1552 of these 1600cc 4-speed manuals were made and only 40 survive. “So they’re rare they were built as a luxury car with a sporty touch,” says Clive.

“It was the first brand new Alvis imported into New Zealand and on the invoice it was guaranteed to do 60mph (100km/) which was quite quick in those days.”

It sports an interesting hood ornament too – a hare. “After 1930 it was changed to an eagle I think because it was a little more slick.”

With the car show looming and

the anniversary tour on April 2, there’s much to be done. In terms of hours spent in the workshop, Clive smiles coyly. “My wife Lyn always knows where to find me. She calls the cars my mistresses.

“She is very supportive and comes on all the rallies and is used to doing all the big trips.”

Rev Dr Richard Waugh, chairman of the car show committee, says Clive has been to every show.

“Clive Butler has been a great supporter of the Brit & Euro Classic Car Show and his recent Alvis restoration will be a highlight car on display. Registrations have just closed at 1150 classic cars and motorcycles – a record number! All our volunteers are working hard to ensure another memorable free community event in East Auckland.”

Bayly sad about change of electoral lines

H

unua MP Andrew Bayly has confirmed he will seek selection as National’s candidate for the newly redrawn Port Waikato electorate once boundary changes have been confirmed in April.

The current Hunua electorate will lose a large part of its eastern area and pick up a substantial chunk of what is now the Waikato electorate under the boundary alterations planned ahead of this year’s general election.

Its name will be changed to Port Waikato.

Bayly’s seat is one of the most severely impacted by the proposed Representation Commission changes.

The population in every electorate has grown since the boundaries were last adjusted in 2014. Some have increased more than others and the proposed changes aim to balance the populations in each electorate.

Hunua will lose voters in Ormiston, Flat Bush, Beachlands, Maraetai, Whitford, Kawakawa Bay, Orere Point, Clevedon, Ararimu, Hunua, Ramarama and Bombay to the newly created electorate of Flat Bush, and to the Papakura seat.

The new Port Waikato will retain Pukekohe, Waiuku, Clarks Beach, Glenbrook and Awhitu and pick up Tuakau, Onewhero, Port Waikato, Pokeno, Maramarua, Mercer, Meremere and Te Kauwhata.

Bayly, the National MP who has held Hunua since 2014, says the saddest part of the boundary changes will be losing the relationships he’s worked hard to build up over the past five years.

Bayly says he will have to develop new relationships with groups in the new electorate.

Photos supplied

“In my current electorate I have developed relationships with 41 schools, 60 early childhood education centres, 14 Fire Brigades and 14 residents and ratepayers groups.

“I’m going to lose half of those, if not more and I will have to develop new relationships with those groups in the new electorate. In the meantime, being a local electorate MP, it’s really important to me that I represent an area well and until the boundaries change, I will be working hard to sup-

port all the constituents in the Hunua seat.”

Bayly says he will continue to hold constituency clinics in the eastern parts of the electorate for people who find it difficult to travel to his office in Pukekohe.

To find out when the next mobile clinic is, phone 238 5976. The boundaries will be finalised in April.

Govt response concerning We are incredibly lucky to live in a country like New Zealand during international health crises, like the recent coronavirus outbreak in China, where our geographic location can isolate us from harm.

So far, the virus has not made itself to New Zealand and, as I understand it, there are no suspected cases either. There are people in quarantine such as those evacuated from the epicenter in Wuhan and many selfimposed, but the virus seems yet to reach our shores.

Like many of you, I am concerned about the possibility of the coronavirus reaching New Zealand. As a country, we should be preparing for the worst while hoping for the best. This does not seem to be an attitude shared by this government.

Instead of doing everything in its power to protect New Zealand from the coronavirus, the government has so far been multiple steps behind with its response.

I have had many constituents approach me having recently returned from overseas who were concerned at the complete lack of screening done at our international ports as well as the lack of information made available.

Besides being handed a pamphlet, no-one appears to be asking questions of those coming into our country, about where they may have travelled and whether they could have been in contact with the virus.

MP for Pakuranga

Simeon Brown It seems to me that this would be both a simple and effective way to help prevent the spread of the virus in New Zealand. By checking people at our borders, we can ensure the right measures are being taken to protect all Kiwis.

Last Friday, I met with the general manager of the Counties Manukau District Health Board to share my concerns about our response to coronavirus.

I was reassured to learn that while the government response is lacking, it appears our DHB is well-equipped to deal with any cases that may show up in the coming months.

In CMDHB’s zone alone, I was informed we had scores of isolation rooms available at Middlemore Hospital with many of them ‘negative pressure’, in case the virus is indeed airborne as recent reports appear to suggest.

I was also told we have a multi-month stockpile of relevant safety equipment like face masks and personal protective equipment to serve health care professionals well if the virus does indeed make it here.

While there is no need to panic, the government certainly needs to take this threat far more seriously than it has so far, and National will continue to put pressure on the government to do just that.

Simeon Brown MP for Pakuranga

Councillor injured again after fall on pathway

Fox in second

By FARIDA MASTER

The recent 2020 ISPS Handa Vic Open was won by Min Woo Lee, who won his first European Tour title with a victory at 13th Beach Golf Club in Victoria, Australia.

Lee won by two shots over Dannemora’s Ryan Fox on 19-under 269, earning full European Tour status with the victory.

Marcus Fraser, Travis Smyth and Robin SciotSiegrist finished tied for third place on 14-under total.

Jake McLeod finished solo sixth, as Aussies and Kiwis dominated the day.

Lee won the €162,915.90 winner’s share and Fox collected €108,608.60.

For someone who has advocated for safer footpaths for years, it’s unfortunate that Councillor Sharon Stewart tripped on the Pakuranga Rotary Walkway and injured her nose.

It was just minutes after people had spotted her at the Rotary Community River Carnival on Sunday afternoon.

She said in a Facebook post: “After visiting the Rotary River Carnival down at Bramley Reserve I was heading to my sister Lorraine’s apartment for a cuppa and tripped on the uneven surface. I became another victim of this issue plaguing many parts of Howick/Pakuranga and Botany areas,” she says.

“There were so many people cycling and walking

their dogs and with the flax hanging over the footpath, I tripped and fell. Luckily I fell in the bush and not on concrete. The Auckland Transport health and safety team were very helpful and immediately came to my rescue,” she says.

The councillor was knocked unconscious in 2015 when she was out delivering her campaign pamphlets and tripped on an uneven surface.

Cr Sharon Stewart’s longstanding war with footpaths continues.

Cockle poachers anger local residents

Sam Collier looks pensive during an investigation.

Bumps in the night W

e all love a good ghost story, but what does it take to turn curiosity into a hobby?

Thirty-seven-year old Pakuranga native Sam Collier looks outside the realms of possibility and takes an openminded holistic approach to investigating the paranormal.

The self-proclaimed huge Ghostbusters fan who grew up watching the X Files is not someone who blindly follows the hype promoted by ghosthunting TV shows, where participants have been known to

fake poltergeist activities and are encouraged to ham things up for the cameras.

Sam, who has a life-long interest in getting to the bottom of claims of paranormal phenomena, joined investigative group Haunted Auckland in 2013.

The team has been around since 2006 founded by respected ghost researcher Mark Wallbank.

The group has conducted more than 200 site visits to allegedly haunted locations including Puhinui House located within the Howick Historical Village.

In a 2016 solo investigation

by Wallbank, a torch that was mounted on a chair atop the stairs from the ground level inexplicably fell under its own volition. The footage is available to view on hauntedauckland.com Collier is well-versed in the use of the tools of the trade.

Investigators kit themselves up with video cameras, EMF detectors, EDI meters and a good deal of common sense.

When asked for his theory on what he thinks ghosts could be, he favours the idea that people are witnessing “what’s left over of what was

once living”, where the events, people and their associated energies are left imprinted on the environment.

For the sceptics who question this theory and ask Collier questions like “why there are no Ghost dinosaurs?”, he answers that he believes the ‘ghost’ returns to a “particular time and place due to an emotional attachment”.

For now, Sam and the team at hauntedauckland.com will keep putting in the late shifts at a haunted location near you.

The truth is out theremaybe.

Show apartments open to view Thursday 20 February, 11am - 1pm Information presentation at 11am

You are invited to view our beautiful show apartment and discover what Bruce McLaren Retirement Village has to offer.

Our information presentation at 11am will cover our Ryman Peace Of Mind Guarantees, the full range of living and care options available, and we will be very happy to answer any of your questions.

A local woman has persuaded a group of alleged cockle poachers, to return the molluscs to the ocean after confronting them on Cockle Bay beach.

The beach is currently in closed season for collection. A 50-cockle seasonal limit is in place at the beach between May and September.

Howick Ratepayer and Honorary fishing officer Residents chair Matthew returned 1800 cockles Brajkovich received a call collected outside of harvest season. Photo supplied from a woman who had recently witnessed a group taking cockles during closed season. He advised her to firstly stay safe, then advised her to call the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) poacher line, followed by her asking the poachers to put them back.

Brajkovich believed the cockles were returned “after a very long walk out”.

In another recent case, Brajkovich says he found three people with two large bags full of cockles and asked them to return them.

“What was really concerning was when I told them to put them back, they dumped all the cockles in the beach rubbish bin,” he says.

In another case from December 2019, an honorary fishing officer approached a party who had poached 1800 cockles. The cockles were all returned to the sea.

Botany MP Jami-Lee Ross has been championing his case to convince the Minister of Fisheries to close Cockle Bay to all shellfish harvesting for at least five years, to allow the beach to recover’, and delivered a petition to fisheries Minister Stuart Nash recently.

Nash has ordered a new survey of the beach to take place in February, something Ross hopes will “likely see a rahui or ban placed on the collecting of all shellfish”.

arbirds On Parade is set to become even more of an exhilarating air show with a 1945 Grumman TBM-3E Avenger, affectionately known in Warbirds circles as Plonky, having now been confirmed to make a special guest appearance at the NZ Warbirds Association air show at Ardmore in March.

She is flying in from her base at the Biggin Hill Historic Aircraft Centre at RNZAF Base Ohakea especially for the days event, thanks to owner Brendon Deere.

The Avenger was designed as a carrier-based torpedo bomber for the United States Navy, and was to become one of the outstanding torpedo bombers of WWII. Flying off aircraft carriers, the Avenger is characterised by her STOWing ‘compound angle’ wing folding mechanism to maximise what available storage there was on aircraft carriers.

Frank Parker, NZ Warbirds President says it is a particularly unusual aircraft to watch as she shuts down, her wings can be rotated and folded back alongside her fuselage. In addition to the pilot, she carried two additional crew and flies at a top speed of 442 km/h.

The New Zealand-based Avenger was built in July 1945 by General Motors and

This 1945 Grumman TBM-3E Avenger will make an appearance at the air show at Ardmore next month.

served in a training capacity at San Diego before, post-war, moving around a number of US Navy bases including Pearl Harbour. Following those initial years she has been used in insect spraying and forest protection services before eventually arriving in New Zealand to be based at Wanaka in Tim Wallis’ Alpine Fighter Collection.

On arrival she was painted in the colours of an Avenger

that had been flown by US President George Bush Snr during WWII. After being onsold to Australia, it returned to New Zealand on a 3200km ferry flight via Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands in February 2012, in time for the Ohakea and Wanaka air shows.

This Avenger has a continuous flying history since 1945.

She was named Plonky and her nose art painted to copy that of the beer barrel pouring

beer, previously painted on an Avenger flown by Fred Ladd in the Pacific theatre. He felt her shape was better suited to a barrel than the traditional Disney characters normally chosen.

The RNZAF operated 48 Grumman Avengers, mostly from Bougainville during the Pacific War, operated as bombers with 30 and 31 Squadron against Japanese targets alongside other RNZAF units.

After the war a few Avengers were based at Ohakea with 42 Squadron as target tugs and operated through to 1959.

They were also used in top dressing trials.

Photographer focuses on Africa Auckland’s cultural arena includes at least one show that’s likely to grab some attention this summer – a striking collection of monochrome prints of the Maasai people by award-winning photographer Ilan Wittenberg, on show at Malcolm Smith Gallery, Uxbridge Arts from February 28 - April 24.

From here to Africa is a collection of captivating portraits of the Maasai people from Tanzania.

“I found myself deeply inspired upon meeting the Maasai tribe and realised the opportunity to document their unique culture which is being eroded by Western influence and modern technology,” said Wittenberg.

“On a personal level, this reminds me of the true value of photography: preserving memories in order to relive special stories and pass them on to others. Through this series of carefully composed photographs, the Maasai people can share their rich culture with the world.”

The collection is presented in a film-noir monochrome, capturing these portraits in a classically timeless style; lending a unifying appearance that emulates analogue lithographic technique, she said.

“I wanted viewers to focus on the humanity aspect of each portrait: expressions and body language, shapes and forms. I eliminated distracting colours to ensure that viewers focus on the people within the photos and make

emotional connections with these individuals,” said Wittenberg.

“I aim to depict the Maasai culture in an authentic and honest way, using a clear narrative style which shows people the significance of their culture, as well as their individual personalities.

“My goal is to provoke your imagination regarding the traditions of the Maasai people and the stories behind their portraits.”

In sharing this portfolio, Wittenberg encourages viewers to show tolerance, to accept all people and to recognise the value of cultural diversity.

“We would all experience an enhanced sense of community if we took the time to appreciate interactions which allow us to discover the world beyond our familiar boundaries,” she said.

From here to Africa was also selected as a featured exhibition at the 2020 Head On photo festival in Sydney.

Exciting plans for 134-yr-old church

By FARIDA MASTER

A

new complex is to be built next to the iconic St Paul’s in the Park Church on Chapel Road.

The new facility purpose designed by BSM Group Architects includes a new Church auditorium with state-of-the art acoustics and will accommodate up to 184 in regular Sunday worship services.

For bigger gatherings, the doors that open up to the park (near Ormiston Bridge) can fit in up to 300 people.

The old church will be used as a chapel for smaller events.

Reverend Warner Wilder, priest-in-charge of St Paul’s in the Park says that the little church built in 1886 will remain a landmark, however there will be a lot of changes due to the new road works planned by Auckland Transport at Chapel Rd. The longoverdue road-widening of the dangerous bend near the historic Anglican Church will require much of the existing church site and the demolition of the old hall.

Auckland Council has agreed to give the church some land in Barry Curtis Park in exchange for the land they will be losing to road-widening.

“Ironically all that land belonged to the Anglican Church before it was sold to the council,” says Rev Warner.

“Auckland Transport has been in discussion with the church for the last couple of years to make land available for the new structure and community facilities on the site. It will compensate for

Reverend Warner Wilder, priest-in-charge of St Paul’s in the Park is keen to hear from local community groups interested in using the new facility.

the area the church is losing to road widening,” he says.

“We see the expansion as a community project and not just for the Anglicans. The church has been reorienting its mission to serve the changing needs of a new multi-cultural city growing around it.

“Barry Curtis Park is now surrounded by a mushrooming community involving building of hundreds of new homes. This growing community is a melting pot of cultures, ethnicity and faith. Our existing congregation is a reflection of our faith,” says Rev Warner.

Rev Warner was Chaplin at Kings College for 28 years before he took on the new challenge at St Paul’s in the Park.

While the total project is estimated to cost more than $6 million, Rev Warner hopes that with an efficient fund-raising committee in place, the project should be completed by the end of 2021.

“Until now, St Paul’s has offered limited space to community groups, but the new robust space at 135m2 will be nearly double the original size of the hall,” he says.

This space will be suitable for children and youth activities, arts and crafts, technology events, skills classes, dance groups and music. It will open out onto the park to enhance indoor/outdoor recreational activities.

Two community lounges will also be included, one for meetings of up to 48 people and the other for up to 36. Both will open out to the park and will be served by kitchen facilities.

The church is keen to hear from local community groups who would be interested in using the new facility.

SAIL

The Bucklands Beach Yacht Club is 71 years young this year after being formed in 1949 by a few pioneering sailors looking for a base for their sailing and the area traces its sailing origins back to the 1930’s.

Today, the club flourishes through its strong member base that enjoys a full calendar of boating and social events, including cruising to several different destinations in the Hauraki Gulf.

The club has its own marina, and haul out facilities with a hardstand enabling members to perform maintenance on their own

vessels.

Social activities including trivia nights, play money casino nights, Halloween and Christmas parties for the kids, club picnics for the whole family, and the famous ‘Brunch on the spit’.

“We continue to foster the young and old through

our Sailing Academy where ‘learn to sail’ courses are conducted on a regular basis” says Lyle Tresadern, manager of the BBYC. “We are more than just a yacht club, our membership attracts trailer boats, launches, jet ski, all types of boaties and just

he Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award will see the launching of a new initiative this week in response to the challenge to better care for the environment.

Young New Zealanders can now do any level of the award — bronze, silver or gold — with an environmental and sustainable focus – their Kakariki Journey.

It will see them doing beach clean-ups, predator trapping, learning beekeeping, upcycling and more.

The ward is made up of four sections that participants need to complete – voluntary service, skills, physical recreation and adventurous journey.

The activity requirements for

participants who opt to do the Kakariki Journey remain the same; the difference is that their voluntary service and skills sections must have an environmental focus.

National director Karen Ross says this initiative has come about because we asked our participants what they really cared about.

Climate change and protecting our environment were top of the list.

“Last September saw over 100,000 young New Zealanders take to the streets to march for climate change. The addition of a climate change curriculum for Year 7 – 10 students this year shows the importance that

future generations are educated in this area,” says Karen.

“We already have many participants focusing on the environment. Gold award participant Sorcha Carr helped plan the School Strike for Climate for her Award Voluntary Service. The Kakariki Journey formally will recognise young New Zealander’s efforts in the environmental field.

“Now, more than ever before, it’s crucial that we care for our planet. Evidence of nature in crisis is all around us. Through offering the Kakariki Journey, our aim is to equip all young New Zealanders with the skills and experience to play an important role in protecting Aotearoa.”

Today in New Zealand History ■■ By Neill Atkinson, David Green, Gareth Phipps & Steve Watters ■■ Exisle Publishing ■■ RRP $39.99 Dates matter, and they are often a starting point for our engagement with history.

For most New Zealanders, days like February 6 or April 25 are laden with significance. They are recognised as markers of important moments in our past; they inspire pride, connection, reflection, or perhaps controversy. Some dates hold a sombre or sinister place in the nation’s collective memory: March 15 (the Christchurch mosque attacks), October 12 (Passchendaele) or December 24 (Tangiwai).

Others highlight more uplifting moments, like Rutherford’s Nobel Prize

(December 10, 1908), Hillary’s ascent of Everest (May 29, 1953) or New Zealand’s golden hour at the Rome Olympics (September 2, 1960). This book presents a series of snapshots of New Zealand historical events organised by date, from January 1 to December 31.

It should be essential accessible popular history reading for every Kiwi.

It is the ultimate guide to the events, people and iconic moments that have shaped the nation and our character.

• Updated throughout, it includes Silver Ferns World Championship win and Christchurch attacks.

• Fully illustrated, thoroughly researched and beautifully designed, this book is a wonderful collaboration between Manatu Taonga – Ministry for Culture and Heritage, the Alexander Turnbull Library and Exisle Publishing.

Fear and Courage

■■ By Renée Hollis ■■ Exisle Publishing (Emotional Inheritance Imprint) ■■ RRP 29.99 We have all felt fear, whether it’s the sweaty palms and racing heart as we make a speech or the profound, all-encompassing awareness of our own mortality as we await medical results. Of course, the flip-side of fear is courage. The person who learns a new skill late in life despite fearing they’re ‘too old’. The quiet voice that speaks up when everyone else remains silent. As Nel-

son Mandela famously said, ‘I learned that courage was not the absence of fear but the triumph over it’.

Collected from around the world, the 25 true stories showcased here capture the full range of the fear and courage experience.

Vaughan Rapatahana’s claustrophobia during an MRI scan and Nelsonian Colin Clough’s journey of bringing his grandmother from the Chatham Islands home to New Zealand — these are stories of fear and courage in all their guises.

At times humorous, often poignant, they will linger in your memory, shining a light on just what it means to be human. Interspersed between the stories are quotes about fear and courage by people as

$1m-plus homes on the rise T

he number of properties sold around the country for $1 million or more during 2019 increased by 1% with 10,869 million-dollar plus properties sold (up from 10,761 in 2018).

But it still hasn’t surpassed the 2016 record when 11,661 million-dollar plus properties were sold, according to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand’s (REINZ) Million Dollar Price Report.

Looking at New Zealand excluding Auckland, the number of milliondollar plus properties sold increased significantly by 17.4 per cent (3211 up from 2736 – an additional 475 properties).

In Auckland the number of million-dollar properties sold during 2019 fell by -4.6 per cent when compared to the previous year (7658 down from 8025) - the lowest number of million-dollar-plus properties sold in Auckland since 2014.

Bindi Norwell, chief executive at REINZ says: “2019 is the third consecutive year that Auckland has seen a year-on-year decrease in $1m-plus properties sold, dropping each year from its peak in 2016 with 9,634 properties sold for $1m-plus.

“However, outside of Auckland it’s a different story, as we’ve seen a 17.4 per cent increase in $1m-plus property sales. This is a result of demand exceeding supply in many parts of the country and shows the effect that the shortage of housing stock is having on house prices,” says Norwell.

“There has been a significant increase in the number of properties sold at the top end of the market, with a 26.8 per cent increase in $3m-plus property sales and a 50 per cent increase in $3m-plus property sales outside of Auckland.

“While the Auckland market may have cooled in the first nine months of 2019, the final quarter of the year showed signs of house prices picking up, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out in terms of the number of $1m-plus house sales in 2020.”

Regional breakdown

The region with the biggest percentage increase in number of properties sold for one million dollars or

more was Gisborne, with a 133.3 per cent increase from 2018 (14 properties up from 6 – an additional 8 properties). However, these numbers do appear more inflated due to the small sample sizes.

And 11 out of 15 regions saw yearon-year increases in the number of properties sold for $1m or more in 2019 – with all 11 reaching new record highs. Taranaki, Marlborough, Auckland and Northland were the only exceptions, with year-on-year decreases.

When looking at the number of properties sold for $3m or more in 2019, Wellington saw the largest percentage increase, growing from 6 properties in 2018 to 13 properties in 2019 (a 116.7 per cent increase yearon-year).

Other regions that saw an increase in the $3m-plus category were: In addition to these regions, Gisborne saw two properties sold for $3m-plus during 2019, the first time the region has had a property sale within this category.

Auckland not only decreased in the number of sales in the $1m-plus category, as it also showed a 12.9 per cent decrease year-on-year in the number of $3m-plus properties sold in 2019 (from 371 to 323 properties – 48 fewer properties). There was also a -10.6 per cent decrease yearon-year in $5m-plus properties sold in Auckland in 2019 (from 66 to 59 properties – 7 fewer properties).

“There are a number of factors behind the rise in the number of million-dollar plus properties sold including demand versus supply, increased regional investment, increased consumer confidence levels, a strong agricultural sector, good employment levels and an overall good economy. Additionally, we’ve seen more first time buyers in the market who tend to be purchasing at the lower end of the market, which then lifts the overall market up,” says Norwell.

“While it’s still very early days, going forward we expect that the first half of 2020 will continue in a similar pattern unless some of the underlying fundamentals start to shift.”

11 out of 15 regions saw year-on-year increases in the number of properties sold for $1m or more in 2019 – with all 11 reaching new record highs. Taranaki, Marlborough, Auckland and Northland were the only exceptions, with year-on-year decreases.

Howick Croquet Club has been successful in their grant application with Kiwisport, to help us introduce croquet to the youth in our local area.

Youth Croquet has a huge membership in the South Island and the lower North Island, New Zealand Youth Squad & U21 team are leading the way in Croquet Worldwide. We are doing our best to make that happen in Auckland, starting in Howick area.

Croquet is a sport for all ages which can be played as singles or doubles.

There is no age limit and youths often partner with the more experienced older players. Golf Croquet is the most popular version of the sport.

Every September there is a New Zealand Secondary Schools National Championship. This is a doubles tournament with up to 4 qualifying pairs

per region.

During March 2020, Howick Croquet Club will be hosting an unsanctioned inter secondary schools tournament to select school teams to enter New Zealand Secondary Schools National Champs in Sept 2020.

Members from Howick Croquet Club met with staff from College Sport in preparation to creating a sanctioned tournament in Auckland during March 2021 so that we can have teams to enter the Championship in September 2021.

Last year, students from Elim College came to Howick Croquet Club during PE classes once a week to learn what fun croquet can be. It’s not just playing the game, it’s all about tactics and strategies as well.

We have also recently been working with Elim Middle School in Golf-

lands, playing croquet on their astroturf. The PE teachers and their classes have been very enthusiastic to learn a different sport. After four “taster” sessions we were able to present the PE teacher with their own set of outdoor/indoor croquet hoops, balls and mallets for playing on their Astroturf. This has all been funded by the grant from Kiwisport. The teacher is now working on bringing the more talented and interested students to the club for coaching on real croquet lawns There are nine Colleges in our local area and Howick Croquet Club would like to bring croquet to the youth of our area, through their College. We would like to give all of those Colleges their own astroturf set after each College has had four “taster” sessions (like we did with Elim

The sport of croquet.

by Blues PR people who decided fans should be kept in the dark just a little while longer.

So what is the story? Was Barrett’s presence at training just to pop his head in to show he is part of the organisation? Do his sabbatical conditions preclude him from actually training with his teammates?

Whilst I have no specific beef with Barrett, and given that if the opportunity presented itself, most of us would take a six month paid break from our jobs, you can’t blame him directly.

What I do take umbrage with however is NZ Rugby and the Blues allowing this to happen at all.

threat of South Africa leaving the Super Rugby competition, coupled with the lure of the Euro and Yen from European and Japanese clubs, New Zealand Rugby is forced to make ridiculous concessions to star players who want a ‘break’ from the game.

Unfortunately, not having premier players playing locally dilutes and cheapens Super Rugby at a time when crowds are already dwindling and fans apathetic about rugby encroaching on summer sports and activities.

Granting a six month sabbatical to any elite player in the modern era is lunacy and sets a dangerous precedent that may well strip (particularly struggling) teams of key players at a time when they need them most.

Oh yeah, one more thing — go the Blues.

Three days after winning the Emerging Talent award, 18-year-old alpine skier Alice Robinson won her second World Cup Giant Slalom of the season in Slovenia. Her combined time for both runs was 0.34s faster than world champion Petra Vlhová and 1.5s faster than the two women tied for third.

With the Crusaders clobbering the Blues 25-8 in Super Rugby at Eden Park after destroying the Blues lineout, it was good to see Richie Mo’unga and Jack Goodhue combine so effectively at fiveeighths.

However the bloke who really stole the show was strapping 20-year-old blindside flanker Cullen Grace who worked tirelessly and made several crunching tackles.

Other special wins were the Highlanders’ last second 23-22 triumph against the Brumbies and the Stormers’ 33-30 success against the Lions.

With big winger Ben Lam grabbing two of the Hurricanes’ five tries, the team did well to reduce the Sharks to three in their 38-22 victory.

However for sheer entertainment look no further than fullback Damian McKenzie’s brilliance in the Chiefs 43-17 result against the brave and lively Sunwolves.

Agnew’s Angle

➤➤From Page 20 Not surprisingly, Taurua was also named Coach of the Year and and picked up Sport New Zealand Leadership award.

World champion K1 200 and 500m canoe racer Lisa Carrington made it four in a row when she was named Sportswoman of the Year whereas Sophie Pascoe won the Para athlete/team category for the seventh time, having won four world titles in three different strokes.

Equally deserving was Sportsman of the Year Israel Adesanya, a world middleweight champion at mixed martial arts who possesses the late Muhammad Ali’s gift of the gab and elusive body movement.

A self-described “black Kiwi’’ having come to New Zealand from Nigeria as a nine-year-old, he has his own engaging brand of humour and urged his adopted countrymen to get rid of their tall poppy syndrome and be vocal in supporting their champion.

‘By lifting us you lift yourselves,” he said. “If I win, you win.”

Taurua and Ferns captain Laura Langman also made outstanding speeches. And it was fitting that All Black Sid Going was inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame and that Yvonne Willering received the lifetime achievement award for services to netball.

atching the seemingly hapless Blues get swept aside by the Crusaders at Eden Park on Friday and witnessing the continued struggles of the Jonathan Ruru- Steven Perofeta axis got my blood boiling.

The Blues recorded their second loss in three games to start the season, once again, on the back foot.

Star Beauden Barrett is currently on a ‘sabbatical’ from the game after NZ Rugby, the Blues and Barrett agreed on a period of rest and rehabilition for the All Blacks pivot-cum-fullback.

As a passionate Blues fan, the recent photos of star recruit Barrett gallivanting around the Superbowl with his mates was unpalatable to view. As was the sight of him fiddling with his smartphone and watching on awkwardly, as teammates sweated it out at Blues training. Forwards coach Tom Coventry was blindsided by reporters into revealing Barrett would make his muchanticipated debut in week 7.

The frank admission - from a frank man - was then hastily

Honours for Taurua axe for Alexander

A one-point World Cup 52-51 triumph that won coach Dame Noelene Taurua and her Silver Ferns a clutch of Halberg Awards in Auckland last Tuesday cost Australian Diamonds coach Lisa Alexander her job.

Aussies hate to lose and the talented Alexander has paid the price for it after who silver medal Diamonds finished runner-up to the Ferns at last year’s World Cup and to England at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games where New Zealand failed to medal.

Since the latter, the charismatic Taurua became her country’s saviour after many had believed she should have got the job long before.

She insisted on a high standard of fitness. And although success did not come immediately, she weeded the chaff from the wheat and produced a champion team that won hearts and their semi-final by just two points against England in Liverpool before snatching victory from Australia.

The euphoric reaction to that win, with players hugging and screaming in delight, also provided the Halberg Awards Sports Moment of the Year, the Team Award and the prized Supreme Award. ➤➤Turn to Page 19
