Hey, Nigel is away this week and it’s my turn to share a few secrets from the past. Yes, be-lieve it or not, once upon a time Nigel was an innocent young reporter who turned up at a local newspaper. Of course, we were all much older and wiser than young Nigel, but he made up for it by being a little on the cheeky side. It’s hard to imagine but back then, the journalists wrote their stories by hand and then gave them to the sub-editor (myself) to proof read and type out on an old-fashioned typewriter. From there the story went to the girls in production who had to type them out all over again. How things have changed, and Nigel isn’t even all that old! With my desk on one side of the room and Nigel’s on the other, he thought it was a great idea to make paper darts from his stories and throw them across the room. They never did actually land in my in-tray, but it sure kept us amused. One of the first assignments

we sent the young lad on was to photograph some ducks for the duck shooting feature. Nigel set off with the best camera and the editor’s car to find a convenient pond five minutes from the office where ducks were known to rest. Time went by and we began to wonder what had happened to young Nigel. After about an hour the editor became quite worried. Perhaps Nigel had fallen into the pond and be-sides, someone else needed the camera. So a second reporter was dispatched to try to locate Nigel. It didn’t take long to drive the short distance to Ernie’s lake where there was Nigel, lying on the ground under a large bush, his camera at the ready for when a duck actually came into view. I could go on, but well done Nigel. The community loves you and you got there in the end.

When the cat’s away

Helen

Following on from Nigel Ward’s editorial column last week I agree that the proposed sports complex needs to go ahead immediately, before the Franklin Council funding al-location disappears, on the land bequested by the O’Hara family for that purpose.

With most Waiuku ratepayers facing annual rates bills well in access of $2,000 I guess a targeted rate of $100, or $2 a week added onto that wouldn’t make much difference. I envisage a recreation centre with gymnasium and heated swimming pool similar to the one that Pukekohe has en-joyed for many years along with sports fields and a new netball complex.

The question of access roading seems to be causing some concern but needs to be addressed. To relieve the congestion in Constable Road, I would like to see a new road with allowance for parking running right along the western and northern boundaries of the new complex with access to King Street and a new roundabout at the Sandspit Road corner. A much shorter road could go from the op-posite side of Constable Road straight though to Karioitahi Road.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to The Post newspaper team for running the found kitten ad for us this past week.

Thanks to the ad in the Post this awesome little kitten has been reunited with her very happy owners. They had been very worried since she disappeared and thought they may never see her again, particularly due to the kitten being deaf. After a happy reunion the little kitten is now back at home with her grateful family.

Thanks again from Waiuku Cat Colony Rescue (and thanks from “Twinkles” too).

Above all things, we should not with our pens advocate positions that we do not put to a practical test in our own families, upon our own tables. This is dissimulation, a species of hypocrisy.-- {CW 130}

But God hates hypocrisy and falsehood. Ananias and Sapphira practiced fraud in their dealing with God; they lied to the

Holy Spirit, and their sin was visited with swift and terrible judgment. {AA 72} Not to the early church only, but to all future generations, this example of God’s hatred of covetousness, fraud, and hypocrisy, was given as a danger-signal. It was covetousness that Ananias and Sapphira had first cherished. The desire to retain for themselves a part of that which they had promised to the Lord, led them into fraud and hypocrisy. {AA 74}

Hypocrisy - His Word

Waiuku needs new sports park

Twinkles re-united with family

In reply to Darren Masters, Waiuku in The Post June 16th, my personal opinion to this is - I will still support our “Z” Service Station instead of the new kid on the street as Mr Masters mentioned. Mainly, because at “Z” we receive great service, personal attention (not necessary to fill our own tanks) and the bonus of course is the enclosure if pelt-ing down with rain. Price of petrol goes up and down all the time, whereas with “Z” their great service will be with them always. Thank you “Z”

Beryl Brain, Waiuku

Great service and personal attention

Franklin Family Support Services has moved to a new location at 9 Massey Avenue, Pukekohe. Geoff Smith (pictured) says the premises are accessed from Roulston Street and right beside the bus terminal and car park. Family Support will oc-cupy the first floor above the IHC offices.

A week after being shot by an identified gun owner, Winston a short-nosed Persian cat owned by Lynda and Phil McKee, is making a good recovery.

“The vet is very happy with Winston’s progress and said he is making an amazing recovery,” says Lynda. “I am still feeding him with an eye dropper but he is very alert and trying to feed himself with his paw.” Winston is very much an indoor cat and never leaves the property so the McKees are con-cerned that someone was shooting so close to their house. He man-aged to make his way back to the house but was struggling to breathe. “The bullet passed through his shoulder and neck and exited through his mouth, splitting his tongue and dislodging teeth. Several fragments are still embedded in his neck,” says Lynda.

The McKees have recently returned from Australia where they have been living for the past eight years. They are staying at their son’s home at Karioitahi while a new home is being built for them at Awhitu Central. Seven-year-old Winston has always been an accident-prone cat. At 11 months he was run over by a car and still has pins and plates in his hip. “He was always bring-ing mildly venomous snakes into the house and was bitten by a tick

which can cause paral-ysis in small animals. He needed an antidote for that,” says Lynda. “Then he developed an ulcer on his eye and that required an opera-tion. “We thought he would be as safe as houses back here in New Zealand.” Lynda wants to thank the vets at Waiuku Veterinary Clinic who attended the emergen-cy call-out and were responsible for saving Winston’s life. “They went way beyond the call of duty,” she says.

Historic Maori canoe found

Ngati Te Ata iwi representatives are happy at the prospect of having discovered a historic Maori canoe in the Waiuku Forestry area. The canoe was found by Leo Jackman while walking in the area. George Flavel was contacted by Peter Power, Manager Forestry Operations who then put together a recovery party.

Andrew Bayly, MP for Hunua recently visited Concretec, a fast growing company which is relocating from Manukau to Bombay. Once the new factory is complete late this year, Concretec will employ 80 people and manufacture a range of concrete products for new buildings. Bombay Concretec is ideally positioned to service projects across the Auckland & Waikato regions, and has competitively completed projects reaching as far as the Coromandel and Rodney regions.

The monthly concerts at St Andrews Centre in Wai-uku continue to attract plenty of attention and July’s performance will certainly not disappoint.

Two talented sibling musicians, Stella and Sally Kim, will perform a programme of chamber music, featuring violin and cello. The sisters were members of the Trinity Trio,

winners of the prestigious Pettman/ROSL Scholar-ship in 2013. Winning the scholarship provided the opportunity to give more than 12 concerts around the United Kingdom, including the Edinburgh Festi-val, the Lake District Summer Music Festival and at St James’s Piccadilly as well as coaching opportunities with leading UK teachers. They were also invited to Thailand to give five concerts.

Stella Kim has appeared as a concert soloist with many of Auckland’s top orchestras, including St Mat-thews Chamber Orchestra, University of Auckland Symphony, Devonport Chamber Orchestra, Aotea Symphony Orchestra and Westlake Symphony Or-chestra. She has participated in master classes with a number of world-class violinists in Italy and England.

Sally currently studies music with Edith Salzmann at the University of Auckland. At the age of 12 she de-cided to focus on cello and gained ABRSM Grade 8 at the age of 13. She has received a number of scholar-ships and competition successes and in 2012 per-formed at an international music festival in Shanghai with her string quartet Geist.

In 2013 she competed in the Padova International Music Competition in Italy where she was placed sec-ond in the under 22 years’ age group. She also had master classes with Maestro Antonio Meneses in Lake Garda.

The hour-long concert which will feature works by Bach, Dvorak, Brahms and others begins at 2pm and is followed by afternoon tea for a cost of $5.

Talented duo sure to please

In what was once a male-dominated organisation, Awhitu’s Rosie Morton is making history by becoming the first female president of Waiuku Rotary Club after serving a term as vice president. Rosie was inducted into the office at the changeover night held last week. She joined Rotary about three years ago and says there are now three women out of a total membership of 18 in Waiuku. A teacher at Waipipi School, Rosie says she looks forward to a busy year ahead. Rotary members get together each Wednesday evening for a din-ner meeting where the formal business is carried out. There are a num-ber of committees including youth and international and club service

which have their own roles to fill. Waiuku Rotary is busy organizing their big event of the year, the Book Fair which will be held in the Waiuku Memorial Town Hall in September. Books can be handed in to Z Service Station, Cockies Corner or RD1 and sorting is already underway. “We are also looking forward to the Waiuku Primary Schools’ speech competition finals which will be held in the civic centre next Wednesday evening,” she says.

New Zealand’s ‘luckiest’ Powerball number announced Lotto New Zealand has announced New Zealand’s luckiest Powerball number so far this year – num-ber 9. While Power-ball 9 isn’t the most frequently drawn, it claims the title as 2015’s luckiest number so far after winning two lucky players more than $15.2 million between them. Power-ball 9 kicked off the year in style, winning a retired truck driver from Pukekohe more than $10 million in the first Powerball draw of the year. The lucky winner received his winning ticket as a thank you gift from one of his best friends just days before the draw. “I asked the lady at the Lotto shop to write my friends’ initials on the tickets, so they were theirs from the mo-ment she handed them to me. The winning ticket was meant to be his.”

Annoying – but boys will be boys

Reece Rogers may be in his 100th year but he still maintains his land-scaped garden in Wai-uku which covers more than an acre.

He is particularly proud of the healthy citrus trees which take pride of place at the side of the house, and was very disappointed a few days ago to find his favourite mandarin tree almost completely stripped of fruit.

“I was away for the day and when I came home there was a trail of peel on the road in front of my property,” he says. “The mandarin tree had been almost

completely stripped. It’s quite annoying, but I suppose boys will be boys.” Mr Rogers bought the Colombo Road property 11 years ago when it was an overgrown horse pad-dock. Now colourful gardens and native trees are flourishing. He admits he needs a bit of help from time to time, but still does most of the work himself and mows the expansive lawns. “I do have a ride on mower though.” Pic-tured above is 99-year-old Reece Rogers who says the theft of his mandarins is very disap-pointing.

First woman president for Waiuku Rotary

Des Redgwell, President of Drury Rotary Club presented a cheque for $5,147 to Ranjit Singh, acting principal of Rosehill School. The school, which serves spe-cial needs students, will use the money to buy outdoor furniture specially de-signed to accommodate a wheelchair. The Rotary Club of Drury is delighted to have made this possible, and wishes to thank the Harold Thomas Trust for its contribution of $2000.

I was reading my way through the Bible again and was way down in Numbers and this point struck me as I passed it in my morning devotions. It is found in Numbers 4:5-6 “And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil, and cover the ark of testimony with it: And shall put thereon the covering of badgers’ skins, and shall spread over [it] a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.”

All very simple, move camp, pack things away, pick up the goods and in no time they are gone. But let us think about this for a moment, what covered what? The Veil/Curtain was lifted down and covered the Ark of the Covenant. Back in Genesis we find a principle here in Genesis 9:23 ”And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid [it] upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.”

Here a cloth was used to shield ones gaze from an object they were not allowed to look or to gaze upon. Back in Numbers we have the same principle, a cloth was used to shield and to cover an object that was never to be looked upon, well the High Priest all alone did this once a year, but that was a very complex system of steps and procedures on Yom Kippur. Of course this solves the problem of where do you store a most sacred Veil, and what do you ever put it next to.

Now the link, Mark 15:38 “And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.” Here we are at Calvary, exactly 3pm Friday afternoon, a cry goes up from the middle cross as death finally wins out over our Saviour, the Priest drops the knife and the “Afternoon Sacrifice” flees as type meets anti type. At that exact same instant a ripping tearing sound thunders through the mighty Temple, and the Priests in the Holy Place, for the first time ever, are now staring dumb-foundedly into the Most Holy Place. Now Jeremiah had hidden the Ark of the Covenant away in a cave before the Babylonians ever captured the city of Jerusalem and it was never found or returned. So in the re-built Temple after the captivity, there was only ever the censer kept in the Most Holy Place. Leviticus 16:2 “And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy [place] within the veil before the mercy seat, which [is] upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.” Under normal conditions, all who look into the Most Holy Place shall immediately die, but now on this particular Passover, Death passed over them all as the Lamb of God, the real Passover Lamb had perished on Calvary; the animal sacrificial system that pointed forwards to “The Lamb of God,” was over

forever. If anybody ever sacrifices an animal for sin, then they have denied that Jesus paid it all at Calvary, for whosoever will; forever.

Paul had this admonition for the Jewish listeners, and played with a concept of a veil,

which was their prejudices and preconceived notions which stopped them from seeing Jesus Christ as Messiah. They all wanted “Messiah ben David,” the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords,” and had no interest whatsoever in “Messiah ben Joseph,” the humble pure, perfect servant. 2 Corinthians 3:13 “And not as Moses, [which] put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which [veil] is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.”

Here we find that the removal of the veil, allows for us to clearly see Jesus Christ, and the parallel to this is a veil in the Temple which stopped the priests from gazing on the Ark of the Covenant, which is of course, the throne of God, and Jesus Christ is now there on the throne with his Father. Ephesians 2:14 “For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];” I believe this verse will sit comfortably in this concept as well as it sits with the literal wall inside the Temple; which divided Jew and Greek, that which divides, that which comes between, that which separates, is now gone, and Hebrew Language has wonderful scope in Theme-ology to allow for careful comparison and parallels.

So to play with a “Rent Veil” theme once more; is there something in your life that needs to be rent in twain by God, something that needs to be discarded, something torn down and removed; what in your life and my life is coming between us and our God? What wall or partition is there built or being built in your life, are you clinging to or hiding behind your Parents, your Denomination, your Church, or whatever, for now we must come to Jesus Christ individually and on our own, sort of like the High Priest on Yom Kippur. There was only one person allowed in the “Most Holy Place,” so you cannot enter as a group, with a coach or with a representative, it must just be Jesus and you.

John gives us this Admonition in 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.” Hebrews 4:16 “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Now is the time to rent the Veil/Barrier of partition between you and your God?

We find strength and truth in His Word, His Word Alone...

Waiuku feels like home for new ministerFor Waiuku and Districts Combined Churches’ new minister, the Rev Richard Gray, it feels as though the wheel is about to turn full circle.

For Richard appears to be following in the foot-steps of his famous forebear, James Hamlin, who served with the Church Missionary Society in New Zealand from 1826 to 1865, much of that time in the Awhitu area. As Richard Grey drives the scenic peninsula road on a Sunday morning to conduct the service at the historic church at Awhitu Central, it would be easy for his thoughts to drift back to the time when his great great great grandparents James and Elizabeth Hamlin first set foot on the land at Moeatoa, on the Manukau Harbour, close to the present steel mill. The mission station was shared with the Maunsell family but in 1839, the mission was split in two and the

Hamlins moved to Orua while Maunsell set up a further mission at Waikato Heads. James had a large territory to cover and was often struck down with ill-ness, a result of hard work and the primitive condition of the raupo dwelling in which they lived. It was here that Richard’s great great grandmother Sophia was born, the Hamlins’ ninth child and first daughter. An important visitor to their humble home was Lady Jane Franklin on her way to attend a large gathering of around 2000 natives at Waikato Heads who had been under the instruction of the mis-sionaries. She remarked in her reminiscences on the fair haired tribe of young Hamlins with special mention of the youngest and only daughter Sophia who quite won her heart. “From Orua, the family moved once again, this time to Wairoa on the East Coast and many years later, this is where I spent my first term as a minister,” says Richard. “I would often robe up for church

under a photograph of James Hamlin which hung on the wall of the vestry.” In 1863 Sophia Hamlin married Robert McNair Ryburn and a tradition of family involvement in the ministry began. Richard Gray was born in Pukekohe and trained as a primary school teacher, work-ing at Pukekohe North and Sandspit Road schools. It was during this time that he met his future wife Morag Watt. In a change of direction Richard moved to Dunedin where he gained

Bachelor of Arts and Theology degrees at Otago University. His work as a minister took him to Wairoa, Wellington and then to the First Church, Invercargill where his great grandfather RM Ryburn had worked 100 years previously. When he learned of the vacancy at St Andrews in Waiuku, Richard didn’t waste any time in applying for the job. “Morag and I both have family liv-ing in the Pukekohe and Waiuku area and we are already feeling very much at home.”

New minister Richard Gray holds the James Hamlin story written by his great uncle HJ Ryburn.

Sowerbys off to Christchurch

Mid-winter bonus for babiesThanks to the Franklin Parents Centre and Osbornes Realty, 120 Franklin ba-bies will be receiving a mid-winter Christmas present. For the second year running, Franklin Parents Centre has gathered dona-tions of children’s clothing, bedding, books and toys to create care packages for families who need a bit of extra help. Representative Kym Maynard says the clothing drive coincided with nationwide Parents Centre Week and the care packages, which also included new clothing, knitted items and blankets, were distributed by Franklin midwives and the Pukekohe maternity unit. “We were very grateful for the generous support we received from Osborne Realty, Babycity and Porse, and of course, the hundreds of Franklin families who donated so generously to the clothing drive.”

For 30 years Bruce and Rae Sowerby have been val-ued members of St Andrews in Waiuku, although at the start it was the small Presbyterian church where the St Andrews Centre now stands. On Sunday night they were farewelled with a pot luck dinner attended by a large number of parishio-ners.

Speakers included Ann Muir who spoke of Bruce’s early days in the parish and Patricia Glenny who recalled the major contri-

bution that Rae had made with helping the young people and supplying food and friendship to newcom-ers to the district.

Anna and Joe Martin contributed with stories of the couple’s huge contribu-tion in every phase of church life and Leo Faber spoke as the church coun-cil’s representative. Bruce and Rae are moving to Rolleston near Christchurch to be close to family and spend more time with their grandchildren.

View Road School students went for a trip to Hen-derson recycling learning centre earlier this month as part of the Waste Wise Minimization in Schools project. Students are learning how to sort rubbish and choose the Right Recycling options to Reuse or Refuse. The school has raised gardens, with a variety of winter vegetables that is used for hot soup on Fridays. The green fingers group manages the school gardens and monitors the rubbish bins at lunch time. The worm farm and composted scraps go back into the garden to help grow healthy fresh veges.

Lollipops Educare supported the Middlemore Foundation Jammies in June Campaign on Wednesday 24th June. The whole centre wore their pyjamas for the day; the children, their families and staff of the centre donated over 60 pairs of pyjamas to this great cause of Keeping Kiwi Kids warm over the cold winter nights.

Lollipops celebrate jammies in June

Nine year old Quinn Gardiner-Hall is on a mission to inspire more Kiwi kids to get off the couch and get active. And he’s leading the way by taking on a mammoth feat.

In less than four weeks, on Saturday 25 July, 2015, Quinn will put on his running shoes and hit the red

Quinn’s on a Mission!earth of the Australian outback as he attempts to break the record and become the young-est ever runner to run the Australian Outback Half Marathon.

So how did this all happen? We asked Quinn some questions:

How did you hear about this event Quinn? I got a running magazine for my birth-day and read a story about it.

And why do you want to run 21km’s in the Australian Outback??? I thought it would be a good challenge for me and I like to do awe-some stuff to show other kids that they can do awesome stuff too. And then I nagged Mum and Dad to let me have a go. They thought I was jok-ing to start with.

What training have you done this week?

We are doing cross country training at school so I’m using that to run 5km’s most days at school. And then I do

a 4km run on Monday afternoons and on the weekends Mum and I do a longer run. On Sunday I did a 17.5km run event – that was hard, but awesome. I also play rugby and do swimming so that helps with my fitness too.

What do you eat for breakfast?

Quite a bit. Porridge first, which I cook be-cause Mum doesn’t cook it right, then about 5 Weetbix and some corn-flakes. I like having a big breakfast.

We’ll be keeping an eye on Quinn’s progress in the lead up to his record attempt as we help him count it down to race day. If you’ve got any questions you want us to ask Quinn, email them to us at [email protected]

And if you want to donate to Quinn’s fun-draising page, simply go to www.givealittle.co.nz and search Quinn and his smiling face will come up.

Who would have thought that bicycles made in a Waiuku Busi-ness Park workshop could be used by Zespri to promote their new gold kiwifruit in Taiwan and Shanghai? Cycle Blend, as the name im-plies, means that you can create delicious smoothies using your own pedal power. The idea came to ex Waiuku man Steven Grey when he visited the Sustainable Living Festival in Melbourne in 2014 and came across the Bike ‘n’ Blend stall where he and his partner Jane Sinnott couldn’t resist hopping on a bike and making their own smoothie. Back in New Zealand, Steven worked with Paul Allen of Allen Speedframe to develop and manufacture their own bikes which are made in the Waiuku workshop and hired out for corporate events and public functions. “Two people can run a Cycle Blend smoothie stand and no electricity is required. The smoothies and blends taste great and the recipe ideas are endless,” says Jane. “Six months after starting up, we developed our own spin art attachment for our bikes. Now our customers can choose what sort of enter-tainment and education they want.”

Made in Franklin – on show in Asia

When Zespri hired the bikes for an in house health day the staff got to have a healthy lunch and the chance to compete against each other. A number of overseas’ delegates attended the lunch and the marketing manager was so impressed with the idea that 12 bikes are now being used to promote golden kiwifruit sales in Asia. “Bikes are great for fun and exercise. When you use them to power a blender or create art you get an activity that is enjoyed by all age groups,” says Steven.

John has been associated with the Pukeko-he and Waiuku veterinary clinics since 1984 and in that time has been responsible for the care and attention of many treasured family pets.

When Lynda McKee’s precious Persian cat Winston was shot last week by an unknown gunman, John and Dr Emma Hill were called in to help save the badly injured animal.

Emma first attended to the out of hours call and spent time in the night caring for Winston who was successfully operated on the next day by John.

“I’m sure that Winston has used up all of his nine lives by now but this time he was saved by John and Emma and is expected to make a full recovery,” says Lynda.

After more than five hours of intense debate and warnings from the auditor-general Lyn Provost, Auckland Council’s 10-year $60 billion budget received the ‘yes’ vote from just 10 out of 18 councillors. One of those who voted in favour of the new budget was Frank-lin Ward councillor Bill Cashmore who had earlier warned of the council’s considerable loss of reputation if the audited final version of the Long Term Plan was not passed. “These con-sequences would have carried very real and meaningful costs to the ratepayers of Auckland City,” he said. This LTP provides the financial framework

for the next 10 years and was the result of extensive consulta-tion, with record levels of feedback from the public through submis-sions and the Have Your Say events. “I attended 15 of these events,” says Mr Cash-more, “and the one constant comment was ‘fix transport and fix the motorway system’. The three-year interim transport levy is aimed at exactly that. It pre-loads the budget with $534 million to speed up improvements to all forms of transport. We need to engage more corroboratively with the government about motorway upgrades to source additional alternate funding.

“Average rates in-crease for Franklin is 0.4% across the board, breaking down to plus 4.4% for residential and minus 6.1% for rural. As your council-lor I supported the LTP because it deliv-ers for Auckland and particularly for Frank-lin. The LTP has been through all the required processes. Last month the Governing Body passed the plan and it has since been with the Auditor General prior to final ratification. It cannot be altered at this point.” Mr Cashmore believes that a vote against the Long Term Plan would have been self- indul-gent and financially irresponsible.

Bill Cashmore

Franklin Ward councillor voted ‘yes’

Council have said these figures are an esti-mate only.

Of the approximate-ly 454,000 residential properties in Auckland, the council estimates approximately two per cent, or around 9,000 residences, will receive an increase of more than $1000.

Approximately 22.5 per cent of Aucklanders will get a rates decrease, 68 per cent will get an increase under $500 and 7.5 per cent will get an increase of between $500 to $1000 (based on rates data as at 1 May 2015).

Auckland Council of-fers a number of op-tions for residential ratepayers who may be facing higher rates bills, as a result of recent re-valuations.

Ratepayers can spread payments over the year by weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments.

Central government has a rates rebate avail-able up to $610, for those people whose rates are high in relation to their income. Con-tact council if you need assistance.

As Auckland’s expanding population overflows into the surrounding countryside, it is interesting to note that several of the new and proposed developments are taking place in long-established settlements with one thing in common. They all begin with the letter ‘P’.

With Pokeno, Pukeko-he, Paerata and Patuma-hoe set to see a huge in-crease in population, the Franklin landscape will undergo a dramatic

change. While agricultu-re and horticulture will continue to be the main-stay of the region, the de-velopment of new hou-sing areas and industry will see several thousand new residents attracted to the area.

Most visual at this sta-ge is the major develop-ment of Pokeno, where expansion is taking pla-ce at a rapid rate. The ca-talyst for growth is the new Yashili infant milk formula plant along with a number of other indus-tries planned for the Ga-teway Business Park.

With attractive hou-sing and the promise of

an expanded business centre, new supermarket and sports grounds and an upgrade of the scho-ol, Pokeno is attracting plenty of interest.

The thriving town of Pukekohe is also seeing its share of development with several new subdi-visions offering quality sections and house and land packages. The last stage of the exciting An-selmi Ridge residential community is currently being marketed. This award winning develop-ment overlooks tree-li-ned streets and parks and features landscaped wa-terways and walkways.

From pasture to people - the big‚ P leads the way

A long time in the planning, the new Bel-m o n t d e ve l o p m e n t on the western side of Pukekohe is one of the areas being fast-tracked to ease Auckland’s hou-sing shortage. Currently market garden land, this area will provide seve-ral hundred new homes, many at affordable pri-ces. Attractive parks and open spaces, as well as a small shopping centre are also planned.

“A long time in the planning, the new Belmont develop-ment on the western side of Pukekohe is one of the areas being fast-tracked to ease Auckland’s housing shortage.”

Wesley College at Paerata is earmarked for major development by the Methodist Chur-ch, with a new town wi-th around 4,500 houses, planned on the current dairy farm. The college will eventually be mo-ved to free up more land. This development is be-ing fast-tracked and site works planned for later this year.

The population of the attractive village of Patu-mahoe is also set to in-crease rapidly with se-veral new subdivisions almost completed and further sections and a commercial area plan-ned for the volcanic hill on the Kingseat Road.

It is to be hoped that roading and transport development will keep pace with the increase in population and expan-ded employment oppor-tunities will be available in the local area.

Be part of a historic planting in ancient Mahanihani Next Sunday is the start of an exciting new project for Awhitu Landcare volunteers at the Manukau Heads. The Maori name for the area is Mahanihani and a community restoration group un-der this name, which includes DOC and Auckland Council, has been formed to enhan-ce the area. Please join the team to be part of this historic planting in a significant forest remnant which con-tains rare plants. Start time is 10am. Wear sturdy footwear, warm clothing, and bring a spade and gloves. Hot drink and nibbles pro-vided for planters to follow, at another site which could tell many tales from the past, the 19th century Awhitu Central Hall.

After a frustrating two-year delay, work has resumed on tackling the mangrove invasion which is threatening to take over the Waiuku estuary.

The Mudlarks are a dedicated team of mainly older men who have been successful in obtaining a new re-source consent to clear approximately 75ha of the Manukau Harbour over the next 35 years. Mudlarks chairman Ian Scobie says they have been given the green light by council worker Mark Read and he is happy to be work-ing back on the site, supported by a number of keen local guys. Work started on the west side of the Wai-uku estuary on June 8 and after a week of cut-ting and stacking, the rows of bundles were ready to be stacked on the barge which was designed by Ian Sco-bie and purpose built with materials donated by the late Terry Ryan.

The second week saw loads of 20 bundles at a time being ferried to the wharf where it will be chipped and turned into garden fertilizer. The Mudlarks had stopped work after they were told they had to leave a 10m buffer zone of mangroves around clearing areas and they did not have consent to proceed with new areas. “Under the new con-sent we will be able to clear a huge amount of shoreline all the way to the Needles, apart from three small areas. The 10 metre buffer zone mostly does not apply. Complete removal of

the mangroves means that regrowth will be seriously reduced, but the area is so big it is expected to take many years to clear,” ex-plains Ian. As before, the Mudlarks will sup-ply all the labour for cutting, bundling and transporting the man-groves to a landing. It is understood that coun-cil funding will be seri-ously reduced meaning that other expenses including chipping will need to be met from other sources. Members of the public are invited to become Mudlark supporters by paying an annual sub-scription of $10.

The Barbara Hull Charitable Trust 1988 - 2015

Charitable Trust to wind up after 27 yearsAt a recent meeting of the

Barbara Hull Charitable Trust, the trustees resolved to wind up the Trust in 2015. The Trust was founded in 1988 to assist the expenses associated with a life-saving liver transplant for Waiuku woman Barbara Hull. At that time, the operation was not supported by New Zea-land medical subsidies. The West Franklin community, when they learned of the fi-nancial difficulty the Hull fam-ily would have raising the re-quired funds, banded together to raise the money. The Trust, later received a grant from the NZ Government and resulting residuals in the Trust account were then used to help other deserving individuals from West Franklin who had health issues that were not sup-ported by government sub-sidies. Apart from the money extended to Barbara Hull in

1988, the Trust has paid out over $135,000 over the 27 years to assist needy recipients. The Trust residual funds have di-minished over the years to the point when the interest earned on the principal is too small to be effective as a dispensing

trust, and this is the reason why the Trustees decided, with regret, to wind up the Trust.

In the winding up resolu-tion the Trust has to advertise

the resolution and this adver-tisement is displayed below, and the Trustees considered bequeathing the residual of the funds to many worthy lo-cal organisations. After much deliberation the trustees re-solved to donate the residual to the Franklin Hospice Trust because it was believed that organisation followed similar objectives to the Barbara Hull Charitable Trust. Trust chair-man Graham Craig said “It is a sad day to have to wind up the Trust, but we have helped many scores of people over the years, and it is satisfying to know that what we have been able to donate has made a dif-ference to those people. Over the years we have had some very sad stories and outcomes, but we have also had some very successful ones, but now the time has come to close our books.”

The Barbara Hull Trust was estab-lished in 1988 when Barbara’s hus-band Rod approached Roy and Rob-ertha Homes for help to raise money for a life-saving liver transplant op-eration for his wife. A sum of $80,000 was needed for the operation which at that time was only performed in Brisbane and was not included in any New Zealand government health sub-sidies of the time. To raise this sort of money for the family was a daunting objective for the Hull family.

Roy canvassed the Waiuku commu-nity, and formed a committee to help with the process. One of the people Roy approached was Bill Deed, al-ready experienced in running short-term radio stations and fundraising. Roy’s objective was to run a local ra-dio station alongside a telephone ap-peal to the community as the major proposal to raise the funds. Bill re-sponded to the positive and the radio station story is in an accompanying article.

Roy and Robertha proceeded to call in community organisations like Wai-uku Rotary and Lions Clubs, church groups, Waiuku Business Association and New Zealand Steel Social Club. Rod worked in the Stores Department of the Steel Mill at that time, having previously owned Otaua Garage. At

the time of establishing the Trust in September 1988, Barbara had already been at the Princess Alexandra Hos-pital in Brisbane for many months awaiting a suitable donor for the liver transplant. In October 1988, Barbara’s liver transplant was completed. The New Zealand Government came to the party and donated $40,000 to-ward the procedure, but it was esti-mated that at least another $60,000 would need to be raised to fully pay for the operation and subsequent medication.

The most expensive item after the operation were the anti-rejection drugs which cost at that time almost $1500 per month, and a full hospi-tal examination of Barbara cost over $7000 each time it was necessary, not to mention a hospital bed fee of al-most $300 a day.

The operation was a success, and the funding raised exceeded expecta-tions. Barbara returned home to Wai-uku and returned to normal family life with her husband Rod, daughter Melissa and son Matthew.

Sadness was to prevail however, when two years later Barbara con-tracted cancer that eventually took her life. She was buried on her 47th birthday at Waiuku Cemetery on 26th June 1991.

The Barbara Hull story

Since 1988 at the time of the formation of the Barbara Hull Trust many people have been involved with the Trust, and of the 12 original Trustees, five still are on the Trust to help wind it up.These people are: Graham Craig {Chairman), Johno Johnson, Jo Kitson, Dorothy Warbrooke and Bill Deed.

The people . . . the Trustees, since 1988

Original committee of the Barbara Hull Charitable Trust back row from left: Peter Jackson (Lions), Bill Deed (Business As-soc.), Ernie Brough (Trust Solicitor), Johno Johnson (Lions), Graham Craig (Rotary). Front row: Mary Stenhouse (Steel Mill Social Club), Robertha Holmes (founder and secretary), Roy Holmes (founder and long-time chairman), Jo Kitson (Otaua Combined Churches), Gloria Glogoski (Busi-ness Assoc.), Dorothy Warbrooke (Anglican Church). Absent: Mike Hanna (Rotary Club). Other members of the community on the Trust over the years have included:Rod Hull (Barbara’s husband), Mike Valley, Eric Bowles, David Jones, Mike Kelly, Jane Malone. For many of the 27 years Margaret Holmes was the Trust auditor.

When Roy Holmes felt compelled to raise large sums of money to sup-port Barbara Hull and her life saving liver op-eration, he turned to Bill Deed who some years earlier had ran a local short-term radio station and ran a telephone ap-peal for a community fundraiser.

Roy’s financial goal was quite daunting, but nothing could put his enthusiasm down. Roy talked to Bill about what would be required to run a station and a well organised telephone ap-peal.

Bill asked Roy to so-licit political help to obtain the broadcasting licence. Waiuku at the time was in the Papa-kura electorate and Hon Merv Wellington was the

THE BARBARA HULL CHARITABLE TRUSTAt a General Meeting of its members called for the purpose, the trustees resolved that the Trust be wound up and the net assets of the Trust be paid to the trustees of the Franklin Hospice Trust, Hall Street, Pukekohe to assist them with their work with people faced with a life limiting illness enabling patients to stay in their own home for as long as possible to enable them to live every moment as well as ensuring the family has every support possible. This decision has been made because it has become impractical to carry out the charitable purposes for which the Trust Fund was raised and the amount available is inadequate to carry out the objects of the Trust.It was further resolved that this notice be published in The Post Newspaper and copies of the final statement of the trustees administration of the Trust Fund be made available to any member of the general public who should enquire.This is a true and accurate record of the Minutes of the Meeting.DATED this 1st day of December 2014 G. L. CraigChairmanBarbara Hull Charitable Trust

MP. Merv had a vested interest in Waiuku as he had married a Waiuku girl Helen Bean. Obtain-ing these licences was difficult and took their time. Merv put the pres-sure on to obtain the warrant quickly.

Meanwhile Bill enlist-ed technical help from his friend and future ra-dio station company di-rector Brian Littlewood who obtained the rental of an AM transmitter, aerial, while upgrading his own studio equip-ment. Brian undertook the big job of erecting the aerial and laying out the massive earth mat on land volunteered by Brian Lipscombe at his property in Marae-o-re-hia Road, Waiuku. Brian Littlewood then leased a radio link to send the

signal from the studio to the broadcasting site.

The Waiuku Bor-ough Council, in their last year of operation offered their splendid Civic Centre building for the studio and tel-ephone appeal head-quarters. Mayor Kevan Lawrence gave his of-fice for the radio station studio, and the Council gave the chambers for the telephone appeal.

The next stage was for Roy to negotiate with Telecom to install dozens of temporary telephone lines in the council chamber.

Graham Craig and Mike Hanna from Ro-tary and Johno Johnson and Peter Jackson from Lions started to har-

ness the energies of their clubs to supply man-power for the telephone appeal.

Robertha Homes, Jo Kitson, Gloria Glogoski, Mary Stenhouse and Dorothy Warbrooke pulled in help from their respective organisations to provide food and re-freshments for the hun-dreds of volunteers who would man the radio station and the phones for the telephone ap-peal.

Roy and Robertha’s daughter Margaret would lead a team of treasury officials so im-portant to keep track of pledges, and count the plethora of donations that would start to roll in on the appeal day.

Littlewood and Deed would spend some long hours on Friday 25th November 1988 getting the last touches assem-bled for the studio to operate from 6am the following morning.

Six am arrived and Bill Deed as the morn-ing announcer made the first voicing: “Wel-come to Radio for Life — a short term radio station broadcasting on 1404AM. It is our aim to raise over $60,000 to support Barbara Hull and her quest to have a life saving liver trans-plant in Brisbane.”

A series of volun-teer announcers oper-ated the systems, and students from local schools read news and progress on the project. The first day, Saturday 26th, was designed to create community awareness of the pro-cess leading up to the main fundraiser on the Sunday.

Meanwhile Bill had written scripts for the telephone operators to follow, and processes for the appeal to work successfully, and then on Sunday 27th No-vember 1988, the big day arrived.

Medical, political

and local entity guests were invited and in-terviewed, regular up-dates of the tally raised were broadcast, then nearing the end of the day, Bill interviewed the surgeon who had performed Barbara Hull’s liver transplant in Brisbane. Hundreds of local people assem-bled in the Civic Centre to hear his words, but it was the next call that Bill made that was the most poignant of all to Barbara Hull herself. In his own words Bill said:

“This was the hard-est job of the day. There were scores of people behind me in tears, and I had to look away to contain my compo-sure as I talked to this brave lady. The audience erupted to more tears, emo-tions and cheers when I announced that we had finally raised over $66,000.”

In weeks to come, when the govern-ment agreed to sub-

sidise the operation, and the Trust had a funding residual, the group realised that they had per-formed probably the biggest, fastest and most successful fundraising event in Waiuku’s history, the legacy of which was to go on and help scores of other West Franklin residents with critical medical conditions for over a quarter of a century.

Successful year for service clubs

With this past week having been National Vol-unteers Week, it was fitting that both Waiuku Lions and Rotary held their annual awards and changeover evenings.

It was fantastic to see so many of our local volunteers and organisations recognised for the outstanding contributions they make within the community.

Outgoing Lions president Barry Gibbon re-ported on a busy and successful year in which Waiuku Lions were able to donate a total of $47,400, shared amongst youth, elderly and na-tional and regional organisations.

Likewise Rotary president Stephen Shepherd recognised the outstanding contributions made by club members with $26,254 being donated to a wide range of organisations and individuals throughout the year.

The Rotary Community Service Award was presented to Patricia Chitty by Stephen Shepherd, recognising “her considerable contribution to the youth of Waiuku and her outstanding services to the Waiuku Commu-nity”.

The Rotary Community Service award being presented to the Waiuku Thea-tre group in recognition of “their outstanding performances and entertain-ment provided to the Waiuku Community”.

The Rotary Vo-cational Service Award presented to Clifford Brice recognised for “his high ethical standards and commitment to providing work experience for College Students”.

As well as recognising deserving individuals

in the community, members of Waiuku Rotary from time to time also recognise

club members whose service to Rotary and the wider community

exemplifies the humanitarian

and educational objectives of The

Rotary Foundation, by a Paul Harris Fellow Award to

Marshall Woodward.

Jessica Timmins from Family Sup-port received a grant towards a monthly promotion in The Post.

Raewyn Johnston receives a cheque on behalf of Girl Guides for the catering they do for Lions.

BOOKing ESSEntial

The Franklin region, as well as be-ing the food basket of Auckland, is also blessed with a fantastic range of restaurants, cafes and bistros. Whatever your preferred cuisine, chances are there’s a place in Frank-lin to meet your every need, wheth-er it’s a romantic dinner for two, a special celebration with friends, or just a quick bite after work.

When you decide to dine out, it’s important to choose the right res-taurant according to your taste. Choosing well will allow you to have an enjoyable outing that meets your expectations.

A pub and its lively atmosphere is the ideal place to enjoy a good meal.

Loud music or the sound of tel-evised sports events will mean you can have laughter and conversa-tion without disturbing the other customers. For a romantic evening, or for serious conversations, a res-taurant with a quieter atmosphere and filtered lighting would be a more appropriate choice.

A FAMILY MEALIf you’re going out with the chil-

dren, the ideal choice would be a family restaurant with a playroom or some other kind of entertain-ment, such as placemats to colour. Here you can eat quietly without the children getting impatient.

NEW RESTAURANTSOf course it’s always reassuring

to choose a well-established res-taurant that has a good reputation. However, discovering new restau-rants, which frequently offer an in-novative culinary experience such as fusion cuisine, vegetarian meals, raw food dishes, etc, can make a nice change. The growth of the food market in Franklin means your choic-es are always expanding, and with massive population growth expect-ed in coming years, the explosion of taste selections will only grow.

LIMITED BUDGETSEven if you have a limited budget

for eating out you’ll always be able to find somewhere that suits your needs. To save money, keep in mind that many local restaurants offer weekday specials, menus that can be shared or promote special offers for groups or with loyalty discounts

and specials boards.

ThE GIFT oF A GooD MEAL

No matter what type of food they enjoy, just about everyone has a favourite restaurant that they love for its menu and atmosphere.

A gift certificate from a restau-rant of your choice is always a great idea to please the person you love. The vast majority of eat-eries offer attractive gift certificates or cards, and even small family-run diners will likely be happy to hand-write a gift certificate if you ask.

A restaurant gift certificate is also a thoughtful way to thank a neighbour for helping you with a chore or friends who came out on a Saturday to help you move - sometimes $20 can make all the difference between a simple meal and a real treat.

Following his appointment as head coach for Auckland Blues next season, Tana Umaga looks forward to ending his coaching career with the Counties Manukau Steelers on a high note. Umaga will take up his role at the Blues at the conclusion of the 2015 ITM Cup season. “We still have a season in front of us and I want the Steelers to finish that on a high note for the fans who I know will continue to support them.” Umaga says he has enjoyed his time at Counties Manukau. “I have met and worked with some great people and am grateful for the support I have received. This region and the Steelers will always be special to me.” In congratulating Umaga on his appointment, Counties Manukau Chiefs executive officer Andrew Maddock said: “Tana has coached our Steelers to some wonderful achievements and we thank him for all he has done with the Steelers and for rugby in our region. “We knew that it was only a matter of time that someone of his calibre would go onto higher honours. We whole-heartedly support his coaching aspirations and know that with the special skills he possesses he will continue to achieve great results as a coach.” Under Umaga’s leadership the Counties Manukau Steel-ers won the ITM Cup Championship, were semi-finalists in the ITM Cup Premiership and won the Ranfurly Shield for the first time in the Union’s history.

Local weightlifters perform wellA number of young Waiuku weightlifters per-formed with distinction at the latest round of the netfit under 12 and under 15 competition held recently at Ellerslie. Franklin Weightlifting Club coach Kirsty Lillis says the kids have been putting a lot of effort into training lately and it’s paid off. Waiuku College students Leanni and Kade Browne both received medals for style and technique along with Jack Laker of Sandspit School. A first year competi-tor was Kade Duncan while Reinhard Cloete was competing for the second time. Kirsty says that Waiuku College is currently lying fourth in the national secondary school championship league. “I’ll be pushing for Leanni for a New Zealand record in the u15 women’s 63kg class and we hope to reach that goal by the end of the year, she says.
