Storms batter the district

Whitebaiting meeting

Fond farewell for U21s

“I thought I was dreaming” says a local resident after he got more than heexpected with his morning cup of tea.

If you whitebait on the river then you prob-ably want to be part of three local meetings to discuss how to use the resource.

A special moment at the Waiuku RugbyClub on Saturday as three ‘imports’ said their goodbyes to their club-mates.

Changes to the manage-ment of the Pukekohe Ani-mal Shelter means Auckland’s Franklin dog owners will have to travel to Manukau to be reunited with their pet.

Auckland Council yester-day afternoon issued a me-dia statement advising that the Auckland Council Animal Shelter at Manukau cares for all lost, stray or impounded dogs in the Franklin, Papaku-ra and Manukau areas.

Waikato District Council has taken on the manage-ment of Pukekohe Dog Pound after the former contractor of the Auckland Council-owned facility ended its contract in 2013.

“For dog owners on the Franklin/Waikato border, if your dog is registered with the Waikato District Council, it can be found at the Pukekohe shelter,” Council said.

The Post clarified this with Auckland Council and had it confirmed.

If you live in the Auckland part of Waiuku or Pukekohe, your dog will be taken to Ma-nukau. If you live in the Wai-kato, it will go to Pukekohe.

Or, to put it another way, an Awhitu resident has a 150km round trip to collect their lost dog, passing the Pukekohe shelter on the way.

Potentially, it looks as though a dog could be collect-ed in Pukekohe and then tak-en 35km out of town to await collection, while a council-owned facility is in the town-ship. The Manukau shelter is at 33 McLaughlins Road, Wiri.

It seems mystifying, but perhaps Auckland Council doesn’t think Franklin exists.

The Post went on the Auck-land Council website last night to check how to report a lost dog.

It told you who to contact if you were from Central Auck-land, Papakura, Great Barrier Island, Waiheke Island, Ma-nukau, Rodney, Waitakere and North Shore.

Nope, no mention of Frank-lin at all...

Lost dog?Long trip

Comments on the Post facebook page this week regarding possible options for changes to the Waiuku fire siren after a complaint:

1: Retain the status quo, no change.2: Retain the morning test siren, but no siren between 7pm and 7am 3: Halt the morning siren and also have no siren at night 4: Discontinue the siren completely

Your onlineviewpoint…

The Waiuku Volunteer Fire Brigade has been sent a proposal from the NZFS Area Commander Larry Cocker to discontinue the town’s siren after a complaint from a resident.

The proposal is that the 7.30am test siren be discontinued, and that the siren be turned off between 7pm and 7am each night.

Area Commander Cocker said this arose from a complaint within the last fortnight by one per-son, who had stated the siren was adversely af-fecting the health of her family. He added that not having the siren would not affect the ability of the brigade to do its job, that many other areas of the country do not have a siren, that there are some cost implications in maintaining the siren, and that Pukekohe has its siren turned off during the night. He also questioned whether retaining the siren because it was a traditional part of Wai-uku would take precedence over health issues for a resident.

However, he said the decision was not set in stone, and he had asked the local brigade for their views. Subsequently, the Post has spoken with Chief Fire Officer Colin Riddle, who said he would discuss the issue with his brigade, tak-ing into account feedback, and reply to the Area Commander.

This issue has generated an incredible amount of comment within the community and the Post Newspaper received literally hundreds of com-ments from our facebook posts on the subject, which reached over 16,000 people.

We asked, of four main possible outcomes - which would you prefer?

1: Retain the status quo with no change.

Siren issue hastown talking

Meeting likely over plan change

2: Retain the morning test siren, but no siren be-tween 7pm and 7am

3: Halt the morning siren and also have no siren during 7pm and 7am

4: Discontinue the siren completely.Overwhelmingly, it was to retain the siren as it

stands, people saying it was not only traditional, but that it gave a sense of comfort for locals who had called for help, that it warned them firemen were on the way to the station, and also that it reminded them to be grateful for the work our volunteers do.

A decision is expected to be made by the end of the month. What do you think?

Franklin Local Board Chairman Andy Baker says local residents concerned over the impact of a proposed zoning change from Large Lot to Sin-gle House Zone should contact the Local Board Office on 237-1300 to register their interest in a meeting with council over the issue. If there is suf-ficient interest, it seems likely a meeting will be held in the next week or so.

Last week’s Post highlighted that over 500 local properties were affected over a council submis-sion to change the zoning in their properties in the Unitary Plan. Residents had been told conflicting information by council staff, and concerns had been raised that the plan change, if implement-ed, could mean grazing cattle or sheep would be a non-complying activity, that rates could rise, and that lifestyle blocks would be subdivided into 600m2 or more sections.

Andy Baker says, while the planned changes are to allow for increased subdivision and higher density housing in the area, existing use will be protected. He said questions over having to ap-ply for a certificate from council to prove existing use would probably only come up if a prospective purchaser wanted to confirm usage. However, the

changes could mean that people who have pur-chased rural residential sections could see neigh-bouring properties converted into subdivisions, something they did not intend when they pur-chased in those areas.

Andy Baker encourages people affected to make a submission to the Unitary Plan, but those sub-missions must be in by July 22.

No new points can be raised in further submis-sions – it has to relate to a point raised in one of the original submissions, and submissions need to be made using the official form. The form can be found on council’s website on the further sub-mission form page, or at any Auckland Council li-brary, service centre or local board office. As well as specifying the submission referred to, you must state whether you support or oppose it and clearly outline the reasons why, and must also send a copy of your further submission to the original submitter. If you feel you are affected by this issue and wish to attend a meeting, contact the Local Board office on 237-1300 and ask for Lynn Birch.

• The Post will update further information on submissions and any meeting on our facebook page www.facebook.com/districtpost.

Congratulations for supporting local youth

Board should show leadership over zoning change

Post staff ‘ducking’ for cover!

Geoff Dickey and his fellow local busi-ness colleagues need to be congratulated on supporting young people from their local community. (Last week’s story about offering a free Spirit of Adventure Experience - Ed)

As a society, we would be a better place if we invested more into our youth of the nation. Yes, in this case it is sponsoring for the Spirit of Adventure Trust 10-Day Youth Development Programme, but the critical

point is that is an investment in developing our young people.

After all, our future as a society lies in our youth of today. Well done to Geoff and his colleagues, you will have a vastly different person back in your community and we ap-preciate the endorsement of our work.

Dean LawrenceChief Executive

Spirit of Adventure Trust

Two issues have galvanised the local district over the past week; one has been the proposed changes to rural subdivisions under the Auck-land Unitary Plan, and the second has been the issue of whether to discontinue the use of the Waiuku Fire Siren.

We have had calls all week from people who have been trying to work out what the Unitary Plan changes actually mean for their properties, seeking information on how to make a submis-sion and raising concern over the effect any changes may have on rural lifestyles.

Meanwhile, our articles on our facebook page about proposals to halt the use of the siren at certain times had a combined facebook reach of over 16,000 people, and received hundreds of comments, more than any other articles since we started our facebook page a year ago.

At first glance, it wouldn’t appear the two is-sues are connected; but they have a lot in com-mon. Overwhelmingly, locals want the siren to be retained. It’s part of their culture, part of their history and heritage, part of what makes Waiuku unique. Those same feelings are behind much of the concern over zoning changes under the Auckland Council.

Franklin isn’t central Auckland. What works in one area doesn’t necessarily work in another. Whether it be proposals for parking meters in Waiuku and Pukekohe, charges for cafe tables on footpaths, intensive housing development or, even, reducing noise levels from sirens - Franklin and the towns within it have developed an identity and a feel over many years.

Locals have made their views known on the siren - it is only through questioning and mak-ing submissions to the Unitary Plan that they can make their voice heard on zoning. And you only have until July 22 to do it.

Here we go; ‘Big Brother’ leading us up the garden path.

As read in the latest Post, the proposal to rezone all large lot residential zone areas surrounding Waiuku from large lot residen-tial to single house zone.

One size does not fit all. If someone near Victoria Ave wishes to do so, surely there is provision for them to gain consent without effecting the entire zone.

Come on Franklin Local Board, you start-ed this, now show some community leader-ship and put this right, retract the requested change. I must be delusional as I thought the Board worked for the community?

No consultation? Just a letter from coun-cil, hoping to slip one through. And then adding insult by having to apply for some-thing we already have. At a cost ? Money grabbing at its worst.

Have you tried to navigate the council web site to gather information?

I’m sure many people will be apathetic with the thought of having to troll through this exercise.

‘Nek minute’ we have the council Gestapo at your door , confiscating your chickens. Roll on the Super City.

Paul gives us this admonition in 2 Corinthians 5:20 “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” But by what means? Back to verse 18, “And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.” But what is the Price? Romans 5:10

and Colossians 1:20. How was he treated? Isaiah 53:5. What did John declare concerning him? John 1:29 But where did he take the sin? 1 Peter 2:24. Did God get involved? 2 Corinthians 5:19. How did it work? Isaiah 53:6. Why reconcile? Colossians 1:21,22. Who gets reconciliation? Romans 5:11. So why not right now cease your wandering and come home, back where you belong, in God’s family and be reconciled/grafted back into Jesus Christ?

Quote of the week brought to you by Tom O’Neilwww.achievementexpert.com

Post readers last week could have been forgiven for thinking we had gone ‘quackers’ after our design staff managed to come up with a complete mix-up over one of our clas-sified ads. Having designed a beautiful birth notice for a daughter for Joel and Tammy Maddock, our staff’s next job was to lay out a ‘Lost’ ad for a local lady who had lost a duck following a storm.

Somehow, we carried some information

from one ad to the other, which ended up with an ad announcing that Joel Maddock, (the proud dad from the previous ad), was lost following a storm, that he answers to the name of ‘Dilly’ and asking people to phone a Te Toro number if they have seen Joel, as ‘Mrs Dilly misses him....’

All involved have now been contacted, and we are told Joel finds it hysterical. As yet however, there is no sign of Mr Dilly.

Waiuku Police are hold-ing the following items, found in: April; Nikon F50 Camera (Sandspit Re-serve), Nikon SLR Cam-era & Case, (Cnr Beach & Glenbrook Road).

May: LG Cellphone, (Riverside Drive), Sum of money, (Bowen Street), Child’s blue bike, (Kitch-ener Road).

June: Aluminium lad-der, (Waiuku - Pukeko-he Road), Child’s green polar jacket, (Massey Park), Bunch of keys; (Cnr Douglas and Awhi-tu Roads), Two pairs of glasses in case.

The Franklin district wasn’t spared the brunt of the fierce thunderstorms, howling gales and lightning strikes which hammered the region last week.

A number of homes in Pukekohe were af-fected by severe lightning, cutting power and destroying electrical equipment. Counties Power said Wednesday night’s storm meant power was off at the top of the Manukau Heads for about three-quarters of an hour and about 75 Pukekohe homes were without power until Thursday afternoon. There were several other more isolated outages affect-ing individual properties or small groups of people.

A Counties Power spokesperson said on Thursday morning that safety is the compa-ny’s first priority. “In all cases the fault team found the problems quickly and started

work as soon as they could do so safely,” the spokesperson said.

By Friday the Counties Power fault repair team had restored power and hot water to almost all people in the Pukekohe and Papa-kura areas.

Meanwhile, in Waiuku’s Brookesmith Place, resident Ernie Locke put the kettle on in the morning and looked out his kitchen window to find his property had collected a large trampoline overnight. Wind gusts had picked up the structure and hurled it over 70 metres away from the property of Lynnaire Brear and Jamie Gilfillan.

Ernie said he thought he was dreaming when he first looked outside, and added it was a miracle that his ranchslider, roof or windows were not damaged by the unex-pected arrival of his aerial visitor.

A Kiwibank spokesperson says a series of problems with its ATM in Waiuku has meant lo-cal clients have experienced in-termittent problems for longer than would usually be expected. Clients complained to the Post Newspaper last week that out-ages meant they had to with-draw cash from the bank, and were being charged a transac-tion fee despite the fault lying with the bank.

The Post contacted Kiwibank,

who said usually outages were picked up remotely and could be fixed remotely through ‘re-booting’ the system, however Waiuku’s issue required techni-cians to attend several times. The spokesperson said any clients who felt they had been charged fees unfairly while the machine was out of action can email the bank’s complaints de-partment, or phone their 0800 number to have the charges credited.

A Pukekohe man has his wife to thank for his $125,000 Bullseye First Division win after her birthday was drawn as the lucky number.

The winner, a new Bullseye player, was on his way home with his children on a Sun-day morning when they decided to stop at a dairy to buy a Lotto ticket and an ice cream.

“I’d only ever played Bullseye once before, so thought I’d give it another go. I bought a ticket with three different family birthdays as the six-digit numbers.

“I chose my birthday, my wife’s birthday, and my son’s birthday – and my wife’s birth-day turned out to be the lucky one! We actu-

ally won small prizes on the other two lines too, so I guess we’re a bit of a lucky family,” he laughed. But it took the winner a week to realise that he held the winning ticket in his hand.

“I didn’t bother checking the tickets until the following Sunday when I checked my Lotto ticket,” he explained. “It was such a big surprise to find out I’d won any prize – let alone First Division”

The family feels humbled by the win and will share their good fortune with family and their local community. The winning Bulls-eye ticket was sold at Lochview Dairy.

It started out as a delivery of rhubarb… shortly after, it involved local businesses, po-lice, Auckland Council, the AA, a panelbeater and the Fire Brigade, and led to a shutdown of Waiuku’s Bowen Street. We can’t think of any way better to explain it, than to let a highly embarrassed, and grateful, Barbara Reece tell it in her own words:

“I was on my way Thursday at 2pm to an occasional Nurse Shift in Auckland (as I have retired), when I tried to hand a package of rhubarb to my daughter, Cora, near Karma Cafe. As I leaned out I accidentally dropped my entire set of keys down the drain be-tween the drive of Karma Cafe and Mitre 10. I could not believe it. A friend of mine, Chas Stubly, hurried into Mitre 10 and tried to retrieve them with a huge magnet. A brave man, Jaz from the Karma Cafe, offered to lower himself into the drain and retrieve them, wearing only

a tee-shirt. I tried to call Auckland Council who could not hear me well and could not think where Waiuku was.

“I called the Police who connected me again with Auckland Council who still could not understand me.

“I asked for AA to try to tow me away, as the street was now blocked. They also could not understand me as my cell was old and the traffic was busy.

“Staff in Mitre 10 helped me ring John Rattrie Panelbeaters and brought out strong magnets and a long piece of wood with a hook on it to endeavour to lift the keys from the drain bottom.

“The Waiuku Fire Department came soon after.” (Sorry, at this

point I had to start laughing - Editor).“Several of the volunteers drained the

drain and several more of their brave and freezing volunteers spent ages trying to find the large set of keys while being held up by the ankles! All the adjoining businesses came over and offered help. I have never been so warmed, indebted and embarrassed in my life. Bowen Street was closed off while the Fire Department drained the water from the drain. It must have been an inconvenience for everyone at the most busy time of day.

“I could not have more praise for a com-munity in which I have lived for over forty years. I am proud for myself and my extend-ed family to have been part of this marvel-lous community.

“I want to give my most deep appreciation to all my community and business friends for trying so hard to come through for our ‘Community Blonde of the Month’. I appreci-ate everyone’s dedicated, selfless and unbe-lievable efforts on that day.”

(-In case you were wondering, they didn’t find the keys. - Editor).

Waiuku College 1st XI Hockey Team are the winners of the Counties Sec-ondary Schools Boys Competition.

A whole-team effort saw the side shut out Rosehill College in the final with a convincing 4-0 win.

This has been an excellent first half to the season for the team, winning the Counties Hockey Championship round (playing eight games with seven wins and just one loss, and scoring 38 goals for and only five against).

Coached by Dipesh Parag and Chad Whitehead, and managed by Richard Kennedy, the team also thanked Jason Sellers for his expert goalie coaching and to their dedicated spectators and supporters. The last time Waiuku won the Boys Counties Championship and Trophy was in 2008. They now go on to play in the Midlands Round in Divi-sion 1. This team is also representing Waiuku at the NZ Secondary Schools Tournament – playing for the Founders Cup in Taupo in September. The last

Big win for College hockey playerstwo years have been successful - being placed third at the Olympic Stick Tour-nament in 2013 and placed second in 2012. This year they are going for gold!

Campaign and coffeeHunua National Party candidate Andrew Bayly, (at right), was visiting businesses and sports groups throughout Franklin last week and stopped in to Waiuku to chat with local cafe owner Jaz Lahman about some of the issues local businesses are fac-ing under the Super City. Jaz, one of the owners of Waiuku’s Cafe Karma, was among those businesses concerned that Auckland legislation is being applied to rural areas without taking into effect the differences in the communities. Recently, local coffee shops and restaurants received visits from council staff and suggestions were made indicating that plans to charge businesses for the space they use on the footpath with chairs and tables were coming. Andrew Bayly said it’s im-portant that the Council supports the rural communities and added that ‘one size fits all’ policies were not always effective.

Anger over ‘desecration’ of Mauku churchyard

Barb’s Bar and Diner in Waiuku, (formerly the Wolf and Beaver) is to host a Pink Ribbon Charity High Tea this Sunday (July 13) to raise funds for the breast cancer charity.

Tickets are available from the bar for $30, with the event starting from 2.30pm. Organisers are hoping for a fun atmosphere and for people to dress up in their favourite pink outfits to enjoy an afternoon out while also raising money for the cause.

The NZBCF promotes awareness of breast cancer, provide informa-tion and education, and raise funds to support breast cancer-related ini-tiatives, including research, scholar-ships, medical grants, community education and a breast cancer patient register.

Federated Farmers is de-lighted Government has seen the logic of exempting farm structures from a proposed Bill as a first step to ensuring the viability of rural towns is not compromised.

“It was mind boggling to hear the Minister cost the inclusion of farm structures in the Building (Earthquake-prone Buildings) Amend-ment Bill as being an impo-sition of $170 million,” says Anders Crofoot, Federated Farmers new Vice-President.

“We naturally welcome

this exemption since no one in the recorded history of farming in New Zealand has ever been killed in a collaps-ing farm structure during an earthquake. It was a clear case of regulatory overreach.

“While we welcome this exemption, we still have ma-jor concerns about the Bill’s implication for the rural ser-vice towns we absolutely rely upon. Destroying our pro-vincial towns in order to save them does not strike us as sensible given the low-rise, low density profile of these

towns are markedly different from central Wellington or Auckland. We believe there needs to be a lot more work to model the effect of an earthquake on the types of streetscape found in provin-cial centres. Even then there needs to be a social and eco-nomic decision to balance a pure safety approach with a degree of pragmatism.”

He adds a focus on para-pets, verandas and removing at risk items could greatly boost safety at the least so-cial and financial cost.

A police complaint has been laid amid anger that someone has been apparently looking for historic items in the grounds of the St Brides Church at Mauku.

Members say they discovered a number of holes in the ground, and believe someone has been visiting the site with a metal de-tector, infuriating some parish-ioners.

Members say the church is on consecrated ground, and unap-proved digging on the land, as well as being disrespectful, is also illegal, and can bring hefty fines.

Two years ago a Hamilton an-tiques dealer was fined $15,000, and $2500 costs to the Historic Places Trust after digging on the

old Hamilton Club site without archeological authority.

It is illegal under the 2014 Heritage New Zealand Pouhere

Taonga Act to modify, disturb or destroy any historic site or one dating before 1900. The Act pro-vides for fines of up to $150,000

for destroying a site and $60,000 for modifying one. Sites can in-clude Maori or European sites, middens or shipwrecks.

The Mauku church’s history dates back to the Land wars of the mid-1800s, and is a signifi-cant historical place in the re-gion. Designed by Dr A G Purchas and built in 1860-61, the ‘Selwyn’ church retains the loopholes which betray its frontier origins. It was garrisoned in the Waikato war in 1863 with some 600 troops camped in the vicinity.

Members of the church were this week to be placing signs warning of the consecrated na-ture of the area, and enquiries are continuing to identify those responsible for the digging.

Matthew 16:26 “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”

This concept of Profit and Loss is what Account-ants, Banks, Investment Brokers, Businessmen are all interested in. Farmers sow a little seed and plan for a bountiful crop to obtain much gain, and they certainly do not want a crop loss. We go to work and put in many hours of effort, and at the end of the week we eagerly anticipate a gain for that effort by a boost in numbers in a Bank Account, a gain.

Our wonderful Lord Jesus asks us to now look from the physical life over into our spiritual side, and for us to seriously consider the Spiritual Profit and Loss Accounts therein. Isaiah 51:6-8 “Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [is] my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.”

Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” Eccle-siastes 9:10 “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” 2 Peter 3:10-12 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the ele-ments shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. [Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness, Look-ing for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”

How much effort do we put into that which will all be burnt up, and yet our soul or spiritual life is fading away with a gross lack of attention and nourishment. Peter tells us that the externals will

all vanish away, and all that is to be left is our character and our spiritual life, that is if we even have cultivated one. If one was to step up to you with a big set of scales and weight the physical, and then the spiritual of your life, which one is the biggest, would the difference be by much or little?

Our text for today asks us to get very seriously and to consider this matter, and then to take an immediate and decided action to re-balance the trend and to prioritize that which has eternal benefits rather than the short term physical that will so soon fade away and disappear.

John 6:37 “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” So come to Jesus right now, fall in his arms, confess that you have been side tracked, and put things right and start afresh with a new and bountiful relationship with our wonderful Lord Jesus.The Saviour saw that men were absorbed in get-ting gain, and were losing sight of eternal realities. He undertook to correct this evil. He sought to break the infatuating spell that was paralyzing the soul. Lifting up His voice He cried, “What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:26.

He presents before fallen humanity the nobler world they have lost sight of, that they may behold eternal realities. He takes them to the threshold of the Infinite, flushed with the indescribable glory of God, and shows them the treasure there. The value of this treasure is above gold or silver. The riches of earth’s mines cannot compare with it. {COL 106}

Christ calls upon every one to consider. Make an honest reckoning. Put into one scale Jesus, which means eternal treasure, life, truth, heaven, and the joy of Christ in souls redeemed; put into the other every attraction the world can offer. Into one scale put the loss of your own soul, and the souls of those whom you might have been instrumental in saving; into the other, for yourself and for them, a life that measures with the life of God. Weigh for time and for eternity. While you are thus engaged, Christ speaks: “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:36. God desires us to choose the heavenly in place of the earthly. He opens before us the possibilities of a heavenly investment. He would give encouragement to our loftiest aims, security to our choicest treasure. When the riches that moth devours and rust cor-rupts shall be swept away, Christ’s followers can rejoice in their heavenly treasure, the riches that are imperishable. {COL 374} It is so with the soul. The heart is to be carefully kept and guarded. “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for

his soul?” Mark 8:36, 37. Christ must abide in the heart by faith. His word is the bread of life and the water of salvation. Trust in its fullness comes to us through constant communion with God. By eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Christ we gain spiritual strength. Christ supplies the lifeblood of the heart, and Christ and the Holy Spirit give nerve power. {CH 593}

Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Please open the door to your heart and let the Saviour in.

Gain - Loss

A potential audience of 400,000 people could be daunting for some, but not for Clark’s Beach mouth painting artist Trevor Wells, who has had one of his paintings cho-sen for exhibition at the Fine Arts displays at the Royal Queensland Show in Brisbane next month. Thousands of competition entries are received for all categories, but with lim-ited space, only the best are exhibited.

Trevor’s acrylic painting ‘Castle Vaduz’ will be exhibited alongside an incredible array of international artistic talent on show this year. The painting is typical of Trevor’s style as his favourite subjects are often landscapes. Tre-vor’s precise observation of nature makes his paintings particularly attractive.

In 1978 Trevor was playing for Uxbridge Rugby Club in the UK when a collapsed scrum changed his life forever. Left perma-

nently paralysed it was impossible for Trevor to return to carpentry, his career before his injury. Following long months in hospital he was persuaded to try painting by holding a brush in his mouth. Despite having no previ-ous interest in art, Trevor devoted the same attention to detail in his painting as he had with carpentry, developing a distinctive style which has made him one of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA’s) most recog-nised and popular artists.

“There are thousands of entries to the Ekka art competitions, so I am honored to have been chosen for exhibition at the show this year,” says Trevor.

Trevor will be attending the exhibition in Brisbane where, alongside several members of the MFPA, he will be demonstrating his mouth painting skills.

While the real World Cup enters the semi final stages this week in Brazil, a slightly lower-profile event took place at Waiuku College as teams battled out their own version of the World Cup. In the end it was Brazil who triumphed over Ghana 3-1. Some 224 students took part over three weeks, following the World Cup format, with the final played at lunchtime on Thursday complete with raucous crowds, flags, music and a half-time interview.

Controls on whitebait stands, regu-lation of the activity, and possible changes to ensure local Maori are able to uphold their mandated fish-ing rights are likely to be among topics raised at a series of meet-ings this month in the region.

The three community meetings come after the release, earlier this year, of a baseline report on whitebait stands and as-sociated structures in the lower Waikato River be-tween Tuakau and Port Waikato.

The report, compiled by Waikato Raupatu River Trust and Waikato Regional Council, identified a range of matters related to whitebait stands and associated baches.

The first meeting will be at the Tuakau Memorial Hall, George St, on Thursday, 17 July from 5:30pm - 7:30pm, before a Waiuku meeting at the Waiuku Memorial Hall, cnr Queen St and Victoria Ave, on Thursday 24 July from 5:30pm - 7:30pm.

The final meeting will be at the Port Waikato Community Hall, Maunsell Rd, on Friday 25 July from 1pm - 3pm.

A half-hour presentation will be giv-en, followed by time to ask questions of the various agencies. There will also be a chance for community members to share their thoughts on what the next steps should be to manage the is-sues.

Acting group manager Waikato Rau-patu River Trust Julian Williams said:

“Waikato-Tainui are committed to working with Te Puuaha communi-ties and our agency partners for the protection of the whitebait fishery for the future generations of all New Zea-

landers. Good communication flow and working collaboratively ensures we will all find solutions that work for everyone.”

“The various agencies want to stress their commitment to working with the Port Waikato community to find solutions that will better protect and en-hance whitebait and other associated fisher-ies, river habitats and wildlife,” said regional council compliance and education manager Rob Dragten.

“At the same time we collectively want to en-sure that fishing is being

carried out in a safe and sustainable way, and that the environment is being protected.”

The lower Waikato River has tra-ditionally been a plentiful source of whitebait but over the years more and more people are seeking to gather the delicacy there.

The release of the whitebait report was accompanied by a plea for peo-ple to ensure that no new stands or buildings are constructed unless they comply with all relevant district and regional council rules.

Key issues raised in the report in-cluded:

• the need to take a look at how a range of whitebait-related issues are managed

• ensuring mandated fishing rights are upheld

• the need to ensure that sewage is not being discharged into the river, en-suring that rules on whitebait stands and baches are followed and making sure there is a healthy river and a good environment for whitebait.

With less than four weeks to go until the Yorkshire Day celebra-tions, the New Zealand Committee has been working hard to plan two Franklin events to mark this impor-tant day on the Yorkshire calendar.

It is 245 years since Captain James Cook (from Whitby in Yorkshire) ar-rived on New Zealand shores and commenced his task to accurately chart New Zealand’s coast line, and since that time many of his fellow Yorkshire folk have come to call New Zealand home.

The celebrations in 2014 will again be based in the Waiuku and Pukekohe area with people travel-ling again from many places out-side this area with even an expres-sion of interest from Australia.

The festivities start at the Shires restaurant in Waiuku on Friday Au-gust 1 from 6.30pm and will include a live Skype link with South Kirkby in Yorkshire, this years location for functions which will see over 40 mayors and their officers from around Yorkshire attending.

The New Zealand end of this link will feature local people from council and national roles as well as community groups representatives during the live international chat. On Sunday August 3 the celebra-tions continue at the Pukekohe Cosmopolitan Club from noon with an afternoon of fun and activities planned including a lunch of the traditional Yorkshire dish of fish, chips and mushy peas with many Yorkshire mementos.

For details or to register for either event, phone 09 2357050.

Council appears to have done a U-turn on earlier proposals regarding scattering of ashes in its proposed Cemeteries and Cre-matoria Bylaw and Code of Practice.

With deliberations now complete, Coun-cillor Calum Penrose said last week: “I would also like to make the point that it was never our intention to charge or expect people to get permission for the scattering of ashes in pub-lic places.”

However, the Council’s information docu-ment on the proposal clearly states: The Code of Practice proposes that permission be obtain to scatter ashes in a public place.

However, the new bylaw and code are ex-pected to be adopted later this month.

Councillor Penrose, the chair of the bylaw hearings panel, says council recognises that the end of life care of a loved one is a very personal for people, both spiritually and cul-turally.

“The recommendations we have made

will ensure that our staff can continue to respond to the needs of Auckland’s diverse communities with respect,” says Mr Pen-rose, adding “the discussion has highlighted a variety of cultural beliefs and the need for greater education on this.”

Among last weeks recommendations:• Cemetery managers have discretion on

how many people can witness the crema-tion, balanced with meeting the wishes of family and friends and maintaining a safe environment.

• Continuing to support family and friends’ desire to be able to fill their loved ones’ grave, but ask that they give cemetery staff notice so that provision can be made, including having equipment available.

• That floral tributes and adornments on graves will be moved to the concrete berm to allow grave maintenance to be carried out.

The new bylaw is expected to come in to effect from November 1 this year.

Security camera footage is be-ing reviewed after another spate of vandalism in Waiuku’s River Lane. Council contractors were back at the site again yesterday after cans of paint were poured down an embankment at the site and other cans thrown onto the road. Wet conditions and cars driving through the pools of paint meant the damage was spread further along the lane, resulting in a closure while staff mopped up. The attack comes as there has been new reports of graffiti in the area, and the Waiuku Business and Development Association is look-ing at investing in further security cameras for the site.

In a move which could have far-reaching ramifica-tions for local bylaws, Auck-land Councillors are sug-gesting to base licencing for so-called ‘legal highs’ only to the more affluent areas of Auckland.

Councillors are proposing to prevent the sale of psy-choactive substances near schools, treatment centres and in areas of high depriva-tion as part of a draft Auck-land Council policy.

They define those high deprivation areas as ‘local areas included in the top 30 per cent of the most de-prived communities in New Zealand, according to the recently released Ministry of Health deprivation index.’

The Regional Strategy and Policy Committee last week received an update on the development of the council’s draft Local Approved Prod-ucts Policy (LAPP), which will set out where retail out-

Dynamic midcourter Millie Lees is heading to the North-ern Mystics next season. Lees, who has 11 test caps for the Silver Ferns, has been playing ANZ Championship netball for the Wellington-based Haier Pulse for the past six seasons.

But the qualified doctor, who grew up in Pukekohe, can’t wait to head north again and link up with shooters Maria Tutaia and Cathrine Latu in the Mystics attack.

“I’m excited about the chance to play alongside them and I hope I can complement them. The Mystics have always been an exciting team and it will great to be a part of it next year.”

Lees, 25, says she’s loved her Pulse experience but it was time for a chance to recharge her netball career.

Coach Debbie Fuller says Lees will add an element of pre-cision to the attacking line. “Camilla is consistent, mature and can slot into both centre and wing attack. She has shown she can take on the physicality of the game and extend her-self. She adds experience, plays with precision and has a consistently high work rate.”

No drugs for poor areas say Councillets selling these substances may be allowed to operate in Auckland.

The committee has agreed that the preferred option is to specify areas where ap-proved psychoactive sub-stances (commonly referred to as legal highs) will not be able to be sold, as follows:

• neighbourhood centres as defined by the Auckland Unitary Plan

• within 300 metres of a high school and 100m of a primary school

• within 300 metres of a mental health or addiction treatment centre

• within 500m of an exist-ing psychoactive substance retail licence

• local areas included in the top 30 per cent of the most deprived communities in New Zealand, according to the recently released Min-istry of Health deprivation index.

“This preferred option

is the result of talking with local boards and external stakeholders,” says Regional Strategy and Policy Commit-tee Chair Councillor George Wood.

In May the Government passed the Psychoactive Substances Amendment Act 2014, which effectively stopped the sale of products until they were tested and proven low risk, meaning re-tailers had nothing to sell.

Cr Wood says while the move has given communi-ties a bit of a reprieve, it is only until the new testing and licensing regulations for psychoactive substances are developed and approved.

“That is why we have to make sure we are ready and have our policy in place be-fore those new regulations come in.”

The proposal is expected to be out for public consul-tation in November this year.

The onset of winter had its traditional impact on the Auck-land property market in terms of sales numbers and new property listings during June. However, prices continued to edge up during the month.

“The average sales price during June was $714,054, which was up 1.6 percent on May’s average price, and the second highest average price on record,” said Wendy Alexander, Chief Executive Officer of Barfoot & Thompson.

“While the number of sales at 1037 for the month was lower by 6.5 percent on those for May, and right in line with those for May last year, the demand for higher value proper-ties from prospective buyers saw the average sales price in-crease by $11,000 over that for May.

“The average sales price has now risen by 9.9 percent over what it was in June 2013.

“During the month we sold 179 homes for in excess of $1 million, which represents 17.3 percent of all the homes sold, and 35.9 percent of the total sales value of all homes sold.

“Even six months ago, sales of this number of high value homes would have been exceptional.

“What this underlines is that while supply continues to lag behind demand, values for high end homes will climb.

“With close to a third of all June properties selling for less than $500,000, the median sales price for the month edged down by 2.9 percent on that for May to $626,500.

“The median price tends to be more volatile than the av-erage price, but at $626,500 it is 8.2 percent higher than the median price for the 2013 year.

“The number of new listings in June was 1149, our lowest number this year and down 12.8 percent on those for May. While a fall in new listing is a trend commonly seen at the start of winter, it will add pressure to lack of choice in com-ing months.

“At month end we had 3274 properties listed, our lowest number for five months. Compared to the number of prop-erties available at this time of year over the past 10 years, choice remains very limited.”

Waipipi School held a fund raising event with a difference recently as ‘Swa-zi-Man’ Davey Hughes donated his time to speak to an audience at the Waiuku Rugby Club.

He’s hunted Caribou in the Arctic Cir-cle, grizzlies in Alaska and buffalo in Tanzania. He’s the bane of Customs offi-cials’ lives, has run the gruelling Coast to Coast, and is the man behind the highly-successful Swazi outdoor clothing label. He’s a passionate conservationist and he sure knows how to spin a yarn or two, as those who attended discovered.

Davey spoke for over two hours about his travels and hunting experiences around the world. As well as being very interesting, he had the audience in fits of laughter. At times there was a more seri-ous tone to his speaking.

Those attending saw photos of, and heard the tragedies of, endangered spe-cies and how poachers are hunting them to extinction.

At the end of the evening he welcomed questions and awarded great questions with unique clothing accessories to be worn by men.

As a kid in Wainuiomata, he spent the weekends in the hills going after pigs and possums. Now, he and his wife Maggie have built an outdoor clothing empire on their proudly made-in-New Zealand ‘Swazi’ brand; and he wants to get kids into our back-country having the rough-ing-it adventures that kick-started his re-markable life.

The Met Service said yester-day it was expecting a fine start to the week for most, except for those north of the Bombay Hills, and this setup is likely to con-tinue for the first half of the week as a low approaching Northland brings rain and strong winds from Auckland northwards.

The wind and rain will ease briefly midweek before picking up again towards the weekend and spreading over Nelson and the West Coast.

A Severe Weather Warning has been issued for heavy rain and severe easterly gales over North-land whilst a Watch has been issued for the north of Auck-land, Coromandel and eastern Waikato. Further watches and warnings are likely to be issued later in the week as a strengthen-ing northerly flow brings wide-spread rain later in the week.

Locals with an interest in gar-dening and looking for a fun family activity these school holi-days are invited to help with a community planting day next Monday.

A planting project supported by Auckland Council in part-nership with Waiuku Golf and Squash Club and the local com-munity is underway near the Golf Club’s estuary reserve.

Organisers are planting sev-eral hundred native trees and are looking for volunteers keen to lend a hand from 9.30am on Monday July 14.

People are asked to bring a spade, gloves, and wear covered shoes. Volunteers can meet at the Hamilton Estate Estuary Re-serve, (next to the rugby league fields). For further information, contact Melissa Prestidge, phone 235 0976, or Mary Hull on 027 287 2681.

by this event to purchase new books for their brand new library. Organisers thanked Waiuku and Pukekohe RD1, Billy and Jay from Waiuku Primary and ‘the magnificent PTA from Waipipi School.’

Tuakau artist Laura Marsh has been chosen as one of the finalists in a pres-tigious award, with winners to be an-nounced in a month.

Judge Simon Rees has selected 53 art-works as finalists for the 2014 National Contemporary Art Award sponsored by Ebbett Audi and Tompkins Wake, and hosted at Waikato Museum.

Waikato Museum Director Cherie Meecham says a number of changes were made this year to streamline the entry process, and the resulting high number of entries indicates its success.

“This year we developed a new online

entry system which enabled entrants to upload a number of high res images and video links of their work for the judge to view. With 270 entries this year, judge Si-mon Rees had quite a task,” she said.

The 53 artworks nominated as final-ists will make up the 2014 award exhibi-tion. The winners will be announced on 8 August at an awards ceremony before the exhibition opens at Waikato Museum from 9 August until 9 November 2014.

The winner of the 2014 National Con-temporary Art Award will receive $15,000 from the major sponsors, Ebbett Audi and Tompkins Wake.

Professional jockeys Opie Bosson and Danielle Johnson wanted

to build their dream home. They had met with other building

companies but they felt none of them could create their

unique home at their nominated budget. That all changed

when they started talking to NZ Home Builders. They

soon had plans for a beautiful home, that offered views

of a small lake and rural landscapes. The design team at

NZ Home Builders situated the home cleverly to make the

most of these views while maximising benefi ts of the sun

to the deck and entertaining areas. Opie and Danielle were

so pleased with the fi nished home, they have now agreed to

become our brand ambassadors.

When asked what was the most diffi cult part of building, it

was a welcome change to hear that deciding between handle

A, B or C, and what colour the granite should be were about

the toughest parts of the process that the clients encountered.

Of course the benefi t of having a colour consultant on board at

NZ Home Builders meant that good advice was never far away.

When asked about the build process and timing, the feedback

was quite astonishing. Danielle said NZ Home Builders were

“Perfect” high praise no doubt. She backs up what she says by

mentioning that they were in their new home the week before

Christmas, as promised months earlier. Christmas is a date that

many will strive to meet, but that most will fail to achieve at the

last minute.

This is a home for the long term, however Danielle mentioned

that one of her neighbours has managed to subdivide, so when

the question was asked would she perhaps consider building an

investment property or two in a distant corner of the parcel of

land, the answer was “of course, but only if NZ Home Builders

can handle it all again”.

Massive haul ofillegal shellfish

Fond farewell for ‘the Pommies’

Smart Meter issue ‘isolated’

A huge haul of shellfish collected at an Auckland beach may see two Auckland women facing serious fisheries charges.

Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) Honorary Fishery Officers responded to a call from the public on their 0800 4 POACHER line, relating to excess shellfish being taken from a beach in the Eastern suburbs in June 2014.

(Honorary Fishery Officers are uniformed volunteers who are trained to assist with education and compliance around fisheries regulations).

When the officers arrived they spoke to two women who had attempted to conceal a large sack of cockles under a ledge on the beach. It was discovered that in total, they had gathered 1,162 cockles and 183 whelks between them. Further investigation revealed a further 960 shucked rock oysters in a container inside their vehicle.

The daily legal entitlement for cockles is 50 per gatherer per day. Rock oysters and whelks can make up part of a combined limit of 50 other specified shellfish species per gatherer per day.

The vehicle where the rock oysters were found was seized by MPI and inquiries are continuing.

MPI Honorary Fisheries Co-ordinator Anna Willison says: “It is especially puzzling that people continue to offend like this when by sticking to the daily limits provides them with more than enough shellfish for a meal and has no consequence.”

“There is no excuse for people not to know the daily limits – there is signage at many beaches and there is plenty of information available on the MPI website, including an app which can be downloaded to a smart phone” Mrs Willison says.

A Waiuku man whose family was facing an $800 power bill after not receiving one following the change to Smart Meters is surprised to hear that his has been described as an isolated case by the power compa-nies involved. The man was looking at changing power supply compa-nies and told a salesperson (from a new company) that he was yet to receive an account. The man says he was told this was because there was an error with transmitting data from the Smart Meters that was affecting much of Waiuku. This claim is de-nied by Counties Power and Energy

Online, who say the incident was ‘an isolated error’ on the clients account that prevented an automatic esti-mated bill being created and posted to him. Energy Online apologised to the client for the delay and provided him with an appropriate credit as compensation.

Around 7300 customers on the Counties Power network are being transitioned from their old meters to new Smart Meters.

While this transition is underway all customers should continue to re-ceive a monthly energy invoice from their retailer.

“I’d rather lose every game for Waiuku than win with another club” was the nice turn of phrase from Waiuku’s Under-21 English imports on Saturday. Fondly referred to during the speeches as ‘the Pommie guys’, the trio were presented with commemorative jerseys before heading back to the UK.

The players, Tom Read, Martin Baldwin and Joe Robinson were popular members of the club, and, as he will be overseas at prizegiving, Tom was awarded the Under-21s Player of the Year title on Saturday night instead. Their thank-you speeches were celebrated with a rousing haka from their club-mates as they paid tribute to the help, support and friendliness of the club over the past season. The trio are pictured with club president Maurice Brighouse during the presentation.

Thriller at junior netballThey might be young teams, but Swampyview Allstars (red) and the Glenbrook Despicables played out an absolute cracker of a match on Saturday at the Waiuku Netball Centre. It was 8-8 at half time in blustery conditions, and at the end of the third quarter it was still all tied up at 12-12. In a thrilling final quarter, the teams bat-tled each other and the conditions, Swampyview scoring two goals to one to edge it out with a final score of 14-13.

Parisian Style - Go for a classic neutral trench

this Winter! For the perfect look, don’t ever buckle, rather tie the belt in a knot! For the perfect look, team up with a tee, rolled jeans or even a

pair of sexy heels.

Remember that colder temperatures can cause damage to your skin. As soon as the weather gets really cold, be sure to wear gloves. The appearance of your nails will improve greatly if you treat them to profes-sional care. Furthermore, the beauty of your feet and toes shouldn’t be neglected either, even if the time for sandals is over! Pamper yourself to a Winter Spa treatment, revitalise not only your wardrobe, but your hair and skin too. Don’t just think about your face; your whole body is thirsty and needs some T.L.C. Use lots of conditioner whenever you wash your hair and try to reduce your use of a hairdryer. Finally, don’t forget the vitamins to help build up a strong immune system, which is always a use-ful thing to have at this time of year, while fighting the negative effects of too little sunshine.

Now is the time to renew your makeup bag according to the latest trends.

After a summer of sheer, barely-there make-up, colours are more important

in the Winter. So, take the plunge and dare to wear vivid, intense colours —

bright red lipstick, aubergine eye shadow, deep violet nail polish; anything goes!

The dry air of winter can dehydrate your skin very quickly. Use a good moisturizer, morning & evening, to prevent dryness.

Dress warmly - When the mercury drops we tend to wrap ourselves up in lots of layers, be carefulnot to dress too warmly as this could cause you tolose moisture in the form of perspiration

Beautiful to the tips of your... hair! People often have a tendency to forget that theirhair also suffers during cold, dry weather.

The all-new Holden Ba-rina has been receiving rave reviews from auto websites as it delivers a cost-effective package with an emphasis on handling and safety.

Priced from only $26,490 plus on-road costs. the styl-ish Barina RS, with its rak-ish lines and focus on sports performance manages to combine excellent fuel economy with an engine which delivers more punch than you might expect for its size.

The 1.4-litre 16-valve four-cylinder turbo pumps out an impressive 103kW of power, along with 200Nm of torque, and combined with the stiff-ened suspension and im-proved handling, delivers a sports feel while still being an everyday commuter vehi-

New commercials, new and used import-ed passenger vehicles and motorbikes all saw strong sales for both the month and the first half-year – with some sectors moving the highest volumes since records began.

Sales of new passenger cars reached the highest volume for both the month and first half of the year in 25 years. All three top-sell-ing passenger vehicles were from Toyota: the Rav4 led, with 371 units sold in June, then Corolla with 333 units, and the Highlander, selling 308 units.

Toyota also still leads the way in the new commercial segment, with Hilux in first

place with 847 units sold for the month, fol-lowed by Ford’s Ranger, selling 574 vehicles, and the Holden Colorado, with 359 units.

MTA Dealer Services and Mediation Man-ager Tony Everett says the strong sales for the first half of the year across all sectors is a healthy indicator of a buoyant market, with strong consumer confidence.

“It’s been the biggest new commercial month since our records began in 1981 – as well as the biggest first half. June is histori-cally a big month for commercial vehicles due to Fieldays, but this is exceptional,” Ev-erett says.

cle. Helping that sports look is the new front and rear fas-cia, rear spoiler and the ag-gressive stance that comes from a sharp roofline and 17” allow wheels.

To complement this, the interior delivers as well. It has specialised leather-ap-pointed RS sports seats, and the leather is continued to the sports steering wheel. Sports alloy pedals keep the sharp styling going.

Upmarket vehicles these days are a veritable feast of electronic technology, and the Barina RS is no excep-tion, with built-in smart-phone apps, and a MyLink infotainment system.

Safety has not been sacri-ficed for style however. the new Barina RS featuring with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, that comes courtesy

of its six airbags, rear park-ing sensors, stability control and ABS brakes.

The Brake Assist system is just one example of how technology is helping the drivers of today.

In emergency braking sit-uations, few drivers actually press the brake pedal firmly enough to achieve maxi-mum braking performance. BA is designed to sense how fast you press the brake pedal in an emergency, and maximises braking pressure to optimise braking perfor-mance.

And with Electronic Sta-bility Control, braking and turning are far safer than ever before, as the ESC constantly compares the vehicle’s movements with the steering wheel angle to determine if the vehicle is

moving in the direction you intend. If skidding appears imminent, ESC applies brake pressure to individual wheels as appropriate and, if necessary, trims engine power.

This dramatically increas-es turning and cornering safety, especially in ‘evasive action’ situations

With traction control and sports suspension, the Ba-rina RS is a true driver’s car, one which is stylish enough to enjoy while it is standing still, but one which really has to be experienced from behind the wheel to sense the amount of investment, experience and technologi-cal innovation which has gone into it.

For further information on the new Barina RS, contact Ebbett Holden in Pukekohe.

Vehicle sales hit new high

Newly-published research shows the potential for community campaigns to reduce smoking in cars, but legislation is still critical to ensure children are protected the authors say.

University of Otago Wellington researchers observed more than 57,000 vehicles in Wainuiomata after a local campaign in 2013 to decrease the exposure of children to smoking in cars. The campaign included local sports role models, a webpage, radio advertising, signage at school drop-off zones, branding at community and school events, smokefree car information packs and a smoke-free car story competition. They found that the smoking seen in vehicles by roadside observers decreased from 6% in 2005 to 5% in 2011, and then to 3% in 2013.

Waiuku AFC’s Premiers played Papa-kura under lights on Saturday night at McLennan Park, where Council invest-ment has made the setup one of the best facilities in Auckland.

Heralded as the local derby, both teams knew the importance of this game was far more than just bragging rights, and it was Waiuku that grabbed the crucial three points and another step to-ward the promotion spot up for grabs In Di-vision Two of the North-ern League.

Papakura could have moved into third spot on the table, but Wai-uku’s win sees them clear in third, and now six points ahead of Pa-pakura.

Their match fea-tured the league’s top two goal scorers on display with Papa-kura’s Harry Hillary- Jenkins on 26 goals while Waiuku’s Luke Chapman was on 18 goals. There was a lot at stake.

Waiuku went ahead early when Jerry Hub-bard challenged for a corner and the ball fell to last week’s man of the match Michael Day who slammed the ball home. Papakura equal-ised shortly after when Hillary-Jenkins got some space on the left and finished superbly into keeper Justin Baldwin’s

top corner. Both sides played some great football without finding the net although both teams came very close. After the break Waiuku’s Greg Cres-tanello knocked a ball in from the right and it found Dom Winter on the left who slammed it home to make it 2-1.

Then came a turning point. Derek Sinclair knocked a ball goalwards

only to see a Papakura de-fender save it on the line. Jacob Lynch received an automatic red card for his troubles but the result-ing penalty was saved. Waiuku soon went 3-1 up when another attack saw the ball drop to midfielder Niki Te Miha who powered it home. Chris Clark then nabbed one for Papakura and at 3-2 it was all on.

Old Waiuku boy Char-lie Heather missed a

golden opportunity to put Papakura level and paid for it

as in the next attack, Derek Sinclair was set free after some good work by Robbie Leonard and Caine Robbie and he struck to give Waiuku the three points and a 4-2 win.

Coach Robbie Thornton said in the after-match speech “a great game of football was on display and we are very proud of the team for their effort and ultimately the three points. Cody Ralph gets man of the match for play-ing out of position and getting around the park.”

After this weekend’s round of Coun-ties Power club rugby, the positions on the table have all remained the same except the top four order has changed with Patumahoe Hotel moving into second place after their 14-7 win over Waiuku who remain in fourth spot. A win over Manurewa next week will se-cure a semi-final spot for Waiuku, but Pukekohe could snatch fourth spot if they trip up.

With three key players unavailable due to Steelers’ commitments, Waiuku were not able to develop their forward dominance of recent weeks but Patu-mahoe claimed the win with a strong first half.

Tries to Jason Bird from a good period of attack and to Josh Van Lieshout from

a dropped Waiuku ball saw the visitors up 14-0 with Riley Hohepa’s conver-sions adding the extra. In the second half Waiuku were awarded a penalty try which Joe Dawson converted.

Bombay have gone from second to third on the table after their 40-10 loss to table toppers Karaka on Saturday. It was a slippery game underfoot which impacted the running style of both of these high try scoring teams.

It was competitive for the first half with Bombay dominating the set piece and line out for the first spell but Kara-ka’s defence was strong. Karaka had a 13-3 lead at half time which they ex-tended when they gained control and momentum from the whistle in the second half.

It was trying conditions on the hill where Onewhero were beaten 19-0 by Pukekohe in the Counties Power Game of the Week. The match was quite even despite being fairly uneventful with a nil-all score until the very end of the first half when Pukekohe scored a try off an Onewhero blunder which re-ally was the tone for match. Pukekohe were up 14-0 near the end of the sec-ond spell when they added another try to take their their tally to three. Puke-kohe made the most of their opportu-nities and remain in fifth spot, only two points outside the top four.

Next week they face an improved Ardmore Marist, who continued their winning ways on Saturday with a 37-10 win over Manurewa.

First halfpower getsPatumahoehome overWaiuku

Karaka remain on top of both the Premier Grade and the Bob Chan-dler Memorial Premier Reserve grade with their 26-22 win over Bombay. There was only one point in Ardmore Marist’s 24-23 win over Manurewa. In another close match Pukekohe beat Onewhero 22-17 with Waiuku defeating Patumahoe 34-3.

In the Sid Marshall Shield Te Kau-whata were edged out 11-8 by Papa-kura and Drury racked up 53 unan-swered points against Weymouth.

In the Bill Marsh Cup Papakura beat Te Kauwhata 27-10 and Drury defeated Weymouth 26-5.

Ardmore Marist had a 24-3 win over Bombay in the U21 grade and Karaka beat Waiuku 36-17 and Manurewa defaulted to Pukekohe which leaves Patumahoe at the top of the table.

In the U19 grade Patumahoe re-main on top after beating Karaka 26-7 Patumahoe and Hauraki North just edged out Pukekohe 26-24.

Waiuku’s Under-21s can be proud of their game against Kara-ka, they played well and with a lot of heart. Waiuku were looking at fronting the game with only one prop but Jerome Nunufolau and Ngamatau Cecil answered the SOS call and Waiuku were able to put a complete team on the paddock.

Karaka had some huge men in their forward pack but they weren’t always dominant. The Waiuku pack held their own with solid games from Joe Robinson and Jared Park-er. Martin Baldwin once again was

all over the park. Karaka’s first two tries came from Waiuku mistakes which gave them easy points. It was 39 minutes before Waiuku got points - a try in the corner to Jeph Tupu after good pick and go work by the forwards.

The half time score was 17-5 Karaka, who started the scoring in the second half with the wind at their backs. Waiuku replied 20 minutes later, Tom Read crossing the line from a tap penalty, Jack Hardie converted from out wide before he then scored himself,

coming up with the ball after being driven over by the forwards. Karaka scored two more unanswered tries making the final score 36-17

For Waiuku Sam Kane had a sound game using all of his bulk to make some excellent tack-les. Mitchell Collins and Hayden Falkner were safe under the high ball. Petelo Richardson made good yards with carries from 2nd 5/8.

Max Andrews was awarded Play-er of the day, Players player went to Hayden Falkner and RAYD person of the week was Petelo Richardson.

Ranfurly Shield Fever continues in Counties Manukau with the Steelers playing Mid Canterbury this Wednesday at ECOLight Sta-dium at 6pm.

After beating Thames Valley 68-0, Mid Canterbury is expected to be a slightly tougher opponent having won the Heartland Cham-pionship Meads Final last year. Gates open at 5pm.

Tickets are available from ECO-Light Stadium during office hours, from the gate on game day or on-line at www.ticketdirect.co.nz.

The Steelers team to face Mid Canterbury will be announced today and the Steelers 2014 ITM Cup Squad is expected to be named by the end of the week fol-lowing Wednesday nights match.

The Steelers playing Super Rugby were in fine action over the weekend with Jimmy Tupou start-ing for the Crusaders and Frank Halai scoring an impressive inter-cept try for the Blues in addition to the four Steelers making a good impact in the Chiefs win over the Hurricanes.

Even after heavy rain, the Wai-uku Premier Reserves took to a beautifully groomed field on Sat-urday, ideally suited to running rugby, with a strong wind at their backs. Their solid win over Pa-tumahoe secured them a home semi final. They were quickly into their work and after a hit-up by Sitani Folau, Neil Meachen slotted a penalty to take the early lead. Soon after, Folau made another break and fed wide to Axel Couper who scored in the corner (uncon-verted). However, a Waiuku error from the kick-off gifted Patuma-hoe their first points from a pen-alty. After another clean lineout take by Travis Miller and smart passing between Kowhai Nepia and Sam Knight saw Knight over the line and Meachen converted to take the lead out to 15 - 3. Wai-uku continued to attack and a nice break by Meachen ended in a wide pass to Couper who scrambled over for his second try, Waiuku go-ing into the break leading by 20 - 3.

In the second half the Patuma-hoe forwards began to gain some

ground. However, replacement first five Dylan Neil made a huge break and after clinical forward recycling, Dominic Olson broke clear near to the line and Reiha-nia Taupo’s good support play was rewarded with a try, converted by Brad Tucker.

From then on the Waiuku for-wards took control and main-tained their dominance over the game, with the backs supporting the game plan with probing runs and a high work rate.

Dallen Olson broke from sec-ond phase play after several hit-ups and fed to Taupo who dotted down for his second try (convert-ed by Tucker) to give the final score of 34 - 3.

The whole Waiuku team dis-played a great commitment to their game plan for the full eighty minutes to convincingly subdue a formidable opponent.

Player of the Match was Domi-nic Olsen who played an out-standing full game and then went on to play another 45 minutes for the Premiers.
