The Bay seems to be breathing a collective sigh of relief, now the Rena has gone.

Right? Wrong. Its a case of out of sight, out of mind.

Because, despite appearances out at Astrolabe, only a fraction of this disaster has been removed. Less than 10

Heres 330,000 creative ways to blow your ratesper cent of the wreck has been removed from the reef. But now theres nothing left above the waves, theres a sense of relief in some quarters that the problem is nearly over.

That couldnt be further from the truth. Taurangas own ancient mariner, Butler, sums it up pretty well in the latest edition of Waterline, due out any day now.

Heres a couple of comments from Butler:There are plenty of ideas for removing the

Rena but perhaps more than 90 per cent of the ship is still at the reef. There are still a lot of containers and debris submerged around the wreck site, still lots of toxins, and the like, and the MV Rena is still a big headache. But its down below the horizon and under the sea, and is no longer a constant reminder of what can, and often does, happen to ships even large well-run commercial container ships. And now that MV Rena is gone from sight and mind, the perception of crisis is fi nally over.

Thank goodness it wasnt the wreck of a large tanker carrying perhaps 100,000 tonne of crude oil from freshly-exploited oil reserves off the New Zealand coast. Then the problems would never be over, the region would have been devastated environmentally, ecologically and economically for genera-tions to come.

Another shipwreckMeanwhile, another vessel continues to

cut a swathe of mayhem across the Bay of Plenty, with reckless abandon.

The hapless ship Creative Tauranga seems to go from crisis to drama and this week was cast adrift from The Cargo Shed man-agement.

Not much good has ever come from this Creative Tauranga, which is another leech sucking relentlessly at Mother Ratepayers well-abused tit. The only creativity seems to come from their ability to talk money out of councillors.

The TCC funding this year is pushing $280,000 and the Western Bay is tipping in about $50,000.

Meanwhile, the tenants of The Cargo Shed have succeeded in a well-overdue mutiny, getting rid of the loot-plundering

lot, and are plotting their own course. We wish them a safe and prosperous voyage without the shackles and blood-sucking of their former management.

Strange lightsSpeaking of mayhem at sea, weve had

some fascinating feedback on our story a couple of weeks ago, about strange lights in, and over, the Tauranga Harbour.Well bring you updates on this bizarre

case in coming weeks. Watch space. This space.

Free lunchTheres no such thing as a free lunch, or so

the saying goes. The Government is plan-ning to dish out free tucker to kids who turn up to school without breakfast.

But unless theres some repercussions for the useless parents, the cycle will never end.

If they are already parents that care so little for their children, that their kids turn up to school hungry, this will just become another cop out for them.

So they now have no incentive to get out of bed and sort their kids out before school.

And what are these children going to learn? That they too can grow up to breed with no responsibility for their offspring.

The social welfare benefi t is calculated to allow these families to live healthily and comfortably. There are many families reliant on the benefi t, who manage it.

The ones that fail to provide the necessities of life for their children, despite being paid for it, need to have their benefi t docked.

The children growing up with parents, who neglect to feed them, need to understand that hand-outs, over and above the benefi t, are not acceptable and not normal and that society isnt going to keep shelling out and propping up. Theres probably no hope for the no hoper parents. But the kids may still be salvageable; in the hope they can break the cycle and become better parents themselves.

Hold the front page!Just through in a press release: There will be

some exciting changes to Food in a Minute. Here at RR headquarters, we could hardly contain ourselves when news of this broke.

A couple of us had to have a sit down and a cup of tea to regain composure.

Food in a Minute is already so enthral-ling, how could they possibly make it more exciting?

Is it going to be Food in Two Minutes?

Is Lana going to be joined by Lisa Lewis, to read the recipes topless? Or will it be fi lmed from the lion enclosure at the zoo?

For 16 years weve been living next door to Alice, no, I meant riveted to the telly just before the news, to learn of fast and easy recipes.

And theres talent behind the scenes, as a quick visit to the website tells us.

Such as Di Swann, the food editor during all these years. And Hannah Cullinane, the nutritionist who, it appears, cuts her own hair.

Remember the anguish when we heard that Ally-son Gofton was leaving Food in a Minute, and Watties were looking for a new presenter? Well, that news shook the world didnt it. Searching the universe for a suitable replacement for Allyson. Those were dark days. The world waited on the edge of its seat. Birds stopped singing in the trees. Even the search for a potential new US presi-dent went onto the back burner. We forgot about Kosovo declaring independence from Serbia; Fidel Castro retiring as president of Cuba; and Bill Gates stepping down as chair-man of Microsoft.

Not even the fi ring up in Geneva, Swit-zerland, of the Large Hadron Collider, the biggest scientifi c experiment in the history of mankind could detract from the sense of anxiety and foreboding that came with the shattering news of Allysons betrayal of the hungry people of New Zealand.

We had bigger fi sh to fry while we anguished over who would be the next queen of Food in a Minute. Or heaven forbid, king.

Then, before you can say Moreish Meatballs in Tomato and Red Wine Sauce we had Lana. The sun came out, fl owers blossomed and the world breathed a collec-tive sigh of relief. Food in a Minute was complete again.

Now its going to be even better!Bring on 5.59pm. I dont think we can wait

much longer.

Parting thoughtThanks to reader Kevin following the column on the

English language: It reminded me of a tongue twister I learned long ago. Try to say this fast:

Whether the weather be cold; Or whether the weather be hot; We weather the weather; Whatever the weather; Whether we like it or not.

3The Weekend Sun

The fate of a council-owned building nestled on Katikatis Main Rd is undecided, but various community groups are thought to be vying for

the prime location.

The site is currently occupied by the local fi re brigade, which will move next door to Katikati St John when two new buildings are com-pleted on the newly-opened link between Carisbrooke St, Sheffi eld St and Marshall Rd.

Talk of who will fi ll the soon-to-be vacated site is circling the township but Katikati Fire Brigade station offi cer and community board member Brendan Gibbs says its up to the Western Bay council to decide the sites fate.

My understanding is that it will be made available to community

groups and quite a few are inter-ested in it.

Earlier this year Katikati Open-Air Art president Steve Graveson said his group will eventually look for a new location for its Little Blue House art gallery.

He says the group has discussed its need for a new site but other than being centrally-located we have no preference of where we will go at this stage.

Katikati Theatre Inc is actively looking for a home and new chair-man Dave Woodhouse says his group may be interested.

The theatre is without a home and it is frustrating for us and the whole town. It would be wonder-ful to fi nally fi nd a home though that building would need a lot of work.

Katch Katikati promotion man-ager Jacqui Knight knows there is talk her organisation could move

into the building with other com-munity groups.

We would be excited to do that as we would like to remain in a central location.

Its a fantastic area to be in because youre right in the centre of town where it is all happening, says Jacqui.

For that fi re station building to be used as community venue would suit it, with its courtyard, nearby childrens park and being central it has major advantages.

Katikati Ward councillor Mike Williams says no fi rm decision has been made on the buildings fate. There is a Town Centre Plan, which indicates it is to be used for an information centre and things like that and there is interest coming through from the local groups as well but at this stage Id say nothing is defi nite.

The Weekend Sun4

Dive Crescents Cargo Shed operation changed hands

this week when councillors handed over the lease to the tenants side-stepping its own arts interface Creative Tauranga in the process.

The council heard 10-minute talks from the stallholders and Creative Tauranga director Grant Souter before making the decision to effectively fi re Creative Tauranga from the Cargo Shed operation.

The parties have been at logger heads since April when Creative Tauranga told stall holders to leave before the lease was up. The stall-holders took it to council, saying they could successfully run the place themselves without Creative Tauranga.

The council told them to prepare submissions for Mondays face-off. Creative Taurangas submissions

appeared in the foreign owned media on Saturday, which may have backfi red.

Councillors didnt like Creative Taurangas presentation giving the lease to the stallholders.

Weve got our plan but we have to put it into action and delegate different jobs to every-body so its all done and dusted by the fi rst of October so that when summer comes everything runs smoothly, says stallholder spokes-person Kathy Sass.

The stallholders are planning new stalls, new exhibitions and hopefully a small museum, where people can see an encapsulation of the sheds history.

We are pretty jubilant and we are ready to go to do the things we promised, says Kathy.

The stallholders presented a budget, which starts by putting up their own rent by $2 per stall per day. The increase will cover their expenses and boost a surplus, for

marketing and community pro-jects, to $26,100.

The stallholders presentation says they want no fi nancial help from TCC and they will run the shed as a self-sustaining entity.

Speaking afterwards, Creative Tauranga chairman Grant Souter says he still has questions around the stallholder model for the cargo shed.

The huge success of farmers markets in recent years indicates changes in the way people like to enjoy recreational time. Market stalls, where the same people sell the same item, week after week, are losing out to a more dynamic model. Thats what I have been trying to have the discussion around, says Grant.

It just seems to be a model that has had its day, so we were looking for a model that incorporated both. If you have a turnover of different activities in there, there was always a reason to go back.

Almost $1million will be allocated to improve stormwater improve-ments at Waihi Beach after recent fl ooding wreaked havoc in the township.

Western Bay of Plenty District Council decided this week to increase rates from 5.07 per cent to 5.2 per cent in the coming fi nancial year to pay for works.

A total of $926,000 will go towards initial work to lessen the fl ood risk and help give reprieve to fl ood stricken residents.

Western Bay of Plenty District Council utilities manager Kelvin Hill says the improvements will include replacing two small storm-water culverts with a large box culvert on Beach Road in One Mile Creek along with a pumped drain-age system to be installed on Otto Road.

Bank protection work is being investigated behind the Top 10 Holiday Park in One Mile Creek following signifi cant erosion with gabion baskets to be installed.

Work to fix flooding issue

The absence of toilets in Tauranga Library has outraged a newly-established resident, who says expecting library visitors to use

nearby public toilets is disgusting.Penelope Sullivan, who moved to Tauranga from

Palmerston North at the end of 2012, was appalled when told by a library staff member to walk outside, cross the street and use the public toilets.

I went straight in and joined the library because

Toilet issue leaves resident flushedits the living room of the city, and I went up to the lady and asked where the toilets were. She says: Oh you walk through the courtyard, down the road and straight across the street. Using the library for hours doing genealogy, Penelope says the absence of toilets, especially in winter, is not acceptable. That one just really gets me. Youre not encouraging people to stay inside your library.

What about all the kids, and the older people that need to go every hour? Its disgusting.

Tauranga City Library acting manager Judy Sail says the library does have a toilet for children and parents, but they refrain from opening it up to the general public. We have toilets in the childrens area for children and parents, and if there was somebody in a wheelchair or obviously struggling, we would allow them to use it. Otherwise, we direct them to the toilets across from Willow St. Judy says the issue is raised every now and again and if it became a signifi cant problem they would look at fi nding a solution.

That would involve opening the current toilet to everyone or installing another one, she says. We have talked about whether its something we should do in the future, but it is an extra cost. By Corrie Taylor

5The Weekend Sun

From balsa wood models and handmade planes launched from hilltops, a growing number of men have rediscovered

the satisfaction of fl ying model planes and this weekend more are set to take

fl ight with the hobby.Bethlehem model plane enthusiast Mike Craig

fondly recalls the fun of launching his planes from any high ground he could fi nd, before progressing to control line fl ying with his planes fl ying in circuits.

About eight years ago Mike returned to his hobby, joining the Tauranga Model Aircraft Club about the same time as Neil Attwood who he learned to fl y with at the clubs old Apata airfi eld. This Sunday, along with other club members, they are hoping to attract newcomers to the hobby with the clubs annual auction of members planes.

Ive got about nine (models) now so Ive probably got enough, but its always interesting to look, says Mike.

Neil, who also shared a love for model planes as a boy, is now the proud owner of a new generation 50cc plane with a nine-foot wing span.

As a kid I was interested but of course we never had the technology in those days that we do now, recalls Neil. Since I joined there has been a real explosion in technology for model aircraft with much better transmitters. And, the motors we use now are ultra-reliable whereas they used to be dreadful.

Neil, who is one of the clubs instructors at the new large airstrip (set up at TECT All Terrain Park

to accommodate the new generation of planes), says fl ying keeps him young and sharp.

As you get older its a real challenge, you have to be pretty quick on the job.

To prevent any accidents when people are train-ing to earn their wings, the trainees planes are connected to a slave control so the instructor can override if the plane gets into diffi culty, so theyre not crashing every fi ve minutes.

Neil says everything is strictly controlled under civil aviation regulations to ensure safety.

Model plane enthusiasts can spend up to $20,000 on planes, but the prices will be much lower at Sun-days auction at Classic Flyers. For information, visit: www.taurangamodelfl y.com

Taurangas proposed museum is expected to cost $25 million

to build and fi t-out with funding coming from a variety of backers Tauranga Moana Museum Trustees told the city

council this week.

Trustee Kelly Barclay says the museum trust is looking at $7 million from

central government, $7 million from regional capital funding and local government funds, and $6 million from national and local funding, that includes iwi. The museum trust is also bring-ing in $2 million worth of community fundraising and $3 million in business sponsorship.

The museum is currently proposed to go on council land on Cliff Rd, donated by Tauranga City Council for the purpose.

The question of how an Australian native tree made it onto the citys protected list has been raised in

council chambers this week.

The tree in question is a Kurrajong tree, with one located in Matuas Levers Rd. Also known as an Illawarra Flame Tree, the Levers Rd tree is about 30m tall and its roots are lifting and tilting the concrete driveway of number 227.

Owner of number 227, Robert Lauder, is concerned about his health. His brother Mervyn spoke for him at the meeting, saying Bob is recovering from a stroke and is concerned about keeping his footing on the slippery, tilted concrete under the tree

at the end of his drive.Bob wants the tree removed, which

Mervyn says is the best option for himself and the council, as it will be faced with on-going costs of repairing damage caused by roots as the tree continues to grow. The tree is 50-60 years old, and Mervyn is not aware of its lifespan.

In 2007, the council was required to replace about six metres of footpath. About 30 metres of drive was also replaced at the time and the costs were shared. The driveway near the tree is now raised by 100-150mm, says Mervyn.

Because it is a protected tree, the Lauders options are limited. If the council doesnt act the family will be obliged to apply for a resource consent, which is a lengthy and

expensive process that the Lauders do not wish to embark upon.

There would clearly be a long-winded and costly process for Bob, as a means to deal with a tree of such dubious value, says Mervyn. It is not a New Zealand native, it is considered a weed in Australia.

Councillor Murray Guy asked if Bob was given the opportunity a couple of years ago to object when the tree was placed on the protected list, as he should have been.

If the tree is identifi ed of being immedi-ate risk to person or property, council staff do have the ability to make a decision, says Murray.

The information was presented in the public forum, as an advisory to council. No decision was made.

But we are completely open to another suitable site, says Kelly.

We think it is more important to have the reason for the museum, the why, and the museum concept properly developed, and funding built and the best site will present itself.

Most of the construction capital funding will come from outside the city, says Kelly. The councils on-going role will include on-going storage of the heritage collection and ensuring free museum visits for locals.

Getting the most out of our current infrastructure is another current goal, says Kelly. We see using the heritage collection for economic and social advance-ment, rather than simply paying the storage costs, is one of the key ways the council can forward that aim.

Our museum concept is intended to increase busi-ness and stimulate new opportunities particularly in the tourism, accommodation and retail markets.

A power point presentation was made to city coun-cillors just one week after they decided to consider an application by the Modern Museum Group to use the former Mount Maunganui Cosmopolitan Club site for a community-operated museum.

The group is invited to submit a proposal to the registration of interest process for use of the Cliff Rd building and site. At this stage, the proposal will be considered beside other parties interested in use of the building site. The building is scheduled to be levelled in 2025 for car parking for Blake Park.

Welcome Bay home invasion

Three Tauranga men are remanded in custody after allegedly breaking into a Welcome Bay home, stealing money and assaulting the father inside, on Sunday morning.

A family of four including a mother and father and two children live at the address. The father is reported to have been assaulted after the men entered the home armed with knives.

Its alleged the intruders took money and jewel-lery and attempted to take a car parked at the address. The men aged 18, 20 and 22, have been arrested and charged with aggravated burglary, threatening to kill, assault and attempting to unlawfully take a motor vehicle and are due to appear in Tauranga District Court on Monday, June 17.

Petition for whistleblowers asylumA Mount Maunganui man is petitioning to offer

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden asylum in New Zealand, or even the Bay of Plenty.

Stuart Pedersen launched his online petition New Zealand Government: Grant Asylum to PRISM whistle-blower Edward Snowden on Wednesday with the aim of getting 100 signatures.

If he is successful, he hopes it will help bring 29-year-old to New Zealand. Edwards actions, revealing information about PRISM, are being labelled by international media as the biggest intelligence breach in recent US history.

Tauranga likes Babe of the DayThe latest Facebook phenomenon highlighting

Created on Sunday, the Facebook page Tauranga Babe of the Day featuring pictures of students nominated by their peers for their good looks currently has 1614 likes. The three creators, all Auckland University students hailing from Tauranga, say they created the page to follow the social media trend, but also offer a study distrac-tion for students during the June exam period.

More hours for Mount bars?Mount Maunganui bars could have their opening

hours extended by two hours as part of the local alcohol policy that will govern drinking rules in both the Western Bay of Plenty and Tauranga City.

During a meeting to discuss the draft policy this week, councillors agreed to include a 3am closing time for all bars, taverns, restaurants, nightclubs and hotels, along with a one-way door policy from 2am. The current closure time for Mount Maunganui bars is 1am and councillors hope the new sub-regional closing time would prevent a late night migration of Mount drinkers into the city for another two hours of drinking.

Following in their big brothers footsteps is paying off for Tauranga siblings Anna and Shaun Higgins as they head to Slovakia to

compete in the ICF Under 23 World Canoe Slalom Championships.

The brother and sister duo were chosen from the New Zealand selection races to compete in both C1 and K1 categories in Slovakia. Their first stop though, is Augsburg, Germany to compete in the Canoe Slalom World Cup.

Shaun leaves on June 16 while Anna will meet up with him the following week after her university exams. They will spend six weeks together taking on the worlds most powerful waters.

It was from watching his older brother kayaking that Shaun decided to try it out and Anna, 19, soon took to the trend.

It looked fun and as a little brother you always want to do what the older one does, says Shaun.

Now 23, Shaun has competed across the world. His first big event was the Junior World Championships in Europe.

He has spent the last four years competing in the Open New Zealand team and U23 team at World Cup Championship events in Europe, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Spain, France, Whales, London and America.

Competing overseas is a familiar occurrence for Shaun so he is not nervous yet.

But nerves will kick in, Im sure, when the events start.

Anna is a little more nervous. She has travelled to America and Australia before, but this is her first time travelling to Europe.

Racing in big races like that is always nerve rack-ing. But there is a good team culture so that always helps.

For many years, prominent Tauranga couple Bruce Trask and Iris Thomas have contributed to the

community in one way or the other. Now their friends and family are enlisting the help of the community to return the favour after Iris suffered a brain aneurism.

While Bruce is well-known for his zero waste school education programmes, Iris is the founder of award-winning bike safety programme Kids Can Ride and has organised many breast cancer walks in Tauranga.

Iris had a brain aneurism on May 1 and Bruce now cares for her 24 hours a day at their home in Judea.

She will not be able to work until she fully recovers, which Bruce says could take years, and

the couple wants to sell their property for a smaller one. It means they will have to sell their beloved two-bedroom cottage, which the couple have spent around eight years restoring.

It was a lot of fun. Every time wed go away on holiday we spent lots of time in antique shops, second hand dealers and restora-tion places, says Bruce.

We could tell you stories of just about every item that weve got in the cottage. Where we found it or what era it comes from.

Bruce believes the cottage was built around 1905 on Waihis gold mine at 4 Pipe Lane. He says when a new entrance was built for the mine, the houses in Pipe Lane were shifted.

The one, which caught Bruces eye was relocated to Mount Maunganui. Bruce says it was originally owned by miner Chris-topher Cornthwaite, who died in the cottage after suffering miners disease.

In 1998, the cottage was moved to the couples half-acre property where it was run as a bed and breakfast for three years.

Bruce says sometimes he and Iris stay in the shed and stoke up the wood-burning coal range during the cooler months.We often cook a pork roast out there on a Sunday or something.

The couples friends and family want to give them something they can never forget by publishing a book of memories made at the cottage. They are fundraising to cover production costs and any extra money will be deposited into a bank account in the couples name. The extra money will help to fund daily expenses including house cleaning, gardening and medical costs.

Tauranga Boys College students Callum Housham and Ben Hamill reckon offering a big-act concert to the Bay school with the best four-week attendance rate will get their

missing peers back in class.

Its a great idea, says Ben. I reckon it will work, says Year 13 Stephen Clinton.

The trio won free t-shirts for chalking up best attendance rates in each year group, announced at Mondays assembly where a new competition launched to get students in every class this term.

The Big Day In live lunchtime concert

features comedy duo The Laughing Samo-ans, DJ Sir-Vere and NZ rapper K.One and has 7400 Bay students competing to win it for their school by encouraging each other to attend every class every day.

Run by school attendance service Ecase, the Big Day In, supported by Mai FM Street Team with free food and giveaways, is designed for students themselves to drive attendance rates and win. Its important the students drive it the level of incen-tive is to lead to student discussion on other ways to create encouragement for their peers to attend school every day, says Ecase regional supervisor Kelly Sadler. We believe the Big Day In will promote strategies and foster a positive school-wide

attitude toward better long-term student attendance and engagement.

The new method zones in on all wagging school kids not just those with low attend-ance rates.

We want to capture as many kids as pos-sible from schools, which regularly use our service, says Kelly.

Tauranga Boys College assistant principal Leyton Watson thinks its a great initiative, which uses student appeal to competitions to drive the message. Boys like competi-tion and itll certainly appeal to boys at our school, says Leyton I also like that it will pull the schools together - because its an issue that crosses over all schools.

Tauranga Boys College students Ben Hamill (Year 10), Callum Housham (Year 9) and Stephen Clinton (Year 13)

won t-shirts at Mondays school assembly for having the best attendance rate in their year groups.

11The Weekend Sun

Cleft palates, empty stomachs, poverty and hardship it will all

be in a days work for a youth mission off to the

Philippines in July. After months of fundraising and

preparation, St Peters in the City youth pastor Rob Williams says everyone is excited about the two-week project. But after leading two earlier trips to the Philippines, Rob expects it will have a mix of satis-fying and challenging moments.

The group, which is made up of eight youth group members and seven adults, will split their time between Manila, where they

will help with a range of youth-focussed projects for the Kids International Ministry, and the Ruel Foundations base in Mind-oro Islands Calapan City.

Rob says work for the Ruel Foundation project, which is a Tauranga-based charity that provides surgery for children with disfiguring cleft palates and cleft lips, will include helping with medical outreach and providing care in its orphanage.

But he says they will do whatever they are asked to do, like on his first trip in 2009 when they built a house for a family of 11 that had been destroyed in a typhoon.

It was satisfying, but it was pretty challenging too. The house

was just the size of a living room a lot smaller than a house here.

There is a certain satisfaction in contributing, but its also quite an eye-opener.

Rob is urging people to support their fundraising through donat-ing goods for a garage sale at the church on June 22 or by purchas-ing chocolate bars saying that they have enough to cover their costs so every extra dollar raised will be given to the projects they are supporting.

Neil Ryder, one of the groups adult leaders, says the group wants to lend a helping hand to the pro-jects they are supporting to help make a small difference.

The Historic Village is following in the footsteps of other organisations and has

established a friends group to provide important support.

Historic Village Advisory Group chair Catherine Stewart hopes the group will attract a lot of members who can help with fundraising or with work around the 17th Ave site.

It will move it forward. The friends will be the engine, doing a

Tauranga City Council has agreed to place a $160,000 band-aid on the fl uctuating temperatures at the Mount Hot Pools.

As part of last weeks annual plan deliberations, coun-cil decided to allocate $160,000 towards gas heating in an attempt to stabilise the facilitys water temperature, as a supplement to the natural hot water bore that run the pools. The hot pools have come under intense scrutiny in recent months from fl uctuating tempera-tures, and from being forced to close for two days in January after a recurring electrical fault. The two-day closure resulted in $7000 lost revenue.

Mayor Stuart Crosby admits there have been issues from time to time with temperatures but the gas installation seen as a stop gap will help resolve this. I think its a sensible thing in the interim.

He says the main issue is customer service because people attending the hot pools expect constant hot water. But Tauranga City Aquatics Ltd chief execu-tive Tania Delahunty denies the Mayors comments claiming it is part of a risk management strategy for the facility.

It provides us with hot water if the bore fails for any reason. And the bores can often fail, not catastrophi-cally but for minor faults.

TCAL runs the Hot Pools, Baywave and the Greer-ton, Otumoetai and Memorial swimming pools. She says the brand new gas system yet to be installed will be a permanent addition to the facility and will be an added boost and back-up during the winter months to ensure temperatures remain steady, along-

side the bore failing, and scheduled maintenance.Deputy Mayor and ex-Tauranga City Aquatics

Limited director David Stewart agrees the back-up system is necessary to sort the water system out and repay the public.

Having a gas back-up like this, which is not which is the most cost-effective and economical way to do it, will ensure people will experience the same quality of hot water.

The Mount Hot Pools hot salt water core tempera-ture is about 45-46 degrees Celsius at the moment. Pool temperatures are supposed to be 38-39 degrees Celsius. Of concern, for Tauranga City Aquatics Lim-ited and the CCO running the hot pools, is current negotiations with Environment Bay of Plenty over the discharge consent for the hot water.

Keeping the hot pools hot requires balancing the amount of water drawn from the bore, with the amount and the temperature of the permitted dis-charge into the harbour.

Hot salt water is pumped up from the bore and run through heat exchangers, heating up salt water pumped from Pilot Bay. This is chlorinated and used to fi ll the pools.

The resource consent governs how much hot water the pools can draw from the ground, how much can be discharged into Pilot Bay and how hot it is when discharged into the harbour.

Ecological reports on the effects of the discharge are part of the resource consent. The system will be installed following a design process, after council advised a building consent is needed. By Luke Balvert

lot of the work to help achieve the potential for this great asset.

Catherine says the friends group will help the advisory group, and management, achieve the vision to expand the village s role as the heart of the community as detailed in the Historic Village Ten Year Strategy adopted by council last year.

Its to assist the management in livening the place up and bringing

it to its full potential.Catherine, who is coordinating

the friends group, says members could be as active or passive as they wanted and she envisages some would help out in their own areas of interest such as help-ing with gardening, repainting or heritage walk guiding.

Our major focus at the moment for the friends is to actually start getting some things done like

signage, more opportunities for locals and tourism, education involving schools so people can learn what the stand looked like in the 1900s. The advisory group has developed a draft master plan, which allows for extra car parking and the potential for extra build-ings for the site but Catherine says this was a long way off.

13The Weekend Sun

Its probably not news to you that winter has arrived. Well, its close as we get to winter here in the lovely Bay of Plenty.

And winter has its challenges for pets and their owners, so this week we have a guest editorial from Basil. His boss is a pet care advisor, so Basil knows his stuff.

So heres Basil, with advice for furry family mem-bers to get us through the winter cold.

Generally speaking, July is the coldest month of the year in New Zealand. And while we have fur we still feel the cold too. Dogs dont speak English, but my human and I are so in touch that I got her to trans-late for me so I can give you my best winter advice for your pups this season.

Take me out!I am desperate to get out for a run-around, even

in the depths of winter. I need it for my health too! I know its not so appealing for you to go out on a cold, wet day, but I still need a run-around. Put on one of those snuggly person-wraps you have and take me out Ill love you for it (even more than I already do, which is already a lot!).

Winter layersI always hear you people going on about how youre

putting on your winter layers, but guess what I need them too! Well-fed dogs like myself are much better prepared to withstand the cold winter winds and Im not just saying that for extra treats.

We dogs may need a little more food than normal to generate enough energy to stay warm, particularly if were outside dogs. Please keep me topped up

with fresh water, like normal. And if were in an area where water can freeze, you can get these super-cool, electrically-heated water bowls (every dogs dream!).

Taking shelterIf I usually sleep

outside, it may be time to bring me

indoors when icy July rolls

around. Put my kennel in the garage or the laun-dry, and Id love an

extra blanket on my bed!

If Im still kept outside, just make

sure my shelter is insulated, elevated, pro-

tected from prevailing winds and watertight no-one likes sleeping

in a puddle, after all least of all me! The shelter should also be small enough to keep in my body heat when Im all curled up, but large enough to be comfortable.

Funky fashionYou may love them or you may think I look silly,

but when push comes to shove, a doggy jumper will keep me nice and warm. Plus, I think I look pretty suave in them! If Im a short-haired dog, senior dog, puppy or if I have any health problems, I could be more prone to the cold, so I may need a dog jacket to keep me warm. I particularly like yellow (hint, hint Shivaun!).

Most importantly, the best way to keep warm is human touch so keep up the pats and snuggles! And Im not just saying that for extra pats really, Im not.

Anyway, I hope that helps. If you have any ques-tions or concerns about your own dog this winter, Shivaun and friends at Nestl Purina PetCare offer a FREE advice service at 0800 PET VIP (0800 738 847).

Theres a team of pet care advisors, including trained veterinary nurses and animal behaviourists, available to offer advice and support on a wide range of questions about your pet, from health and nutri-tion to behaviour, training and socialisation, as well as information about winter diet.

My friends Shivaun

and Basil.

The Weekend Sun14

Elected members wrapped up the annual plan last week with a fi nal rate

revenue increase of two per cent. This extra amount will kick start a fi ve- year

$43.5million new project for additional storm water works. We had already made inroads into the budget, by cutting out some other discretionary expenditure amounting to just under $1million, which will also go towards storm water. For the fi rst time in memory, this rate revenue increase was a unanimous deci-sion. Where basic infrastructure for ratepayers homes is concerned, all ratepayers are in this together hence the agreement of all elected members. Its true that this storm water work should have been done in the past. But it wasnt, as successive councils focused on non-core business nourishing minds I remember being repeatedly told and the three waters water, waste water and storm water were the Cinderellas of rates dollar priorities. So now the work must be done and probably to the exclu-sion and/or postponement of many other items in councils 10-year plan. So be it.

BewareAfter this years elections, council will be

looking at a much reduced 10-year plan if the presently estimated nine per cent rate rev-enue increase for 2014/15 is to be reduced to councils self-imposed rates cap of two per cent, plus infl ation. So anyone making election year promises will be speaking with forked tongue where any extra expenditure is concerned. And urgency, conveyed by affected residents and elected members, was refl ected with staff action.

New CEO Garry Poole and his staff were back the next day with a generic way forward, starting with the fi ve-year programme outlined, with estimated extra capital expenditure and extra operational funding. The existing storm water programme is unaffected and those works will continue as planned. It was great to hear David Stewart speaking to the resolution, and saying how paramount it was that basic

infrastructure was councils priority. Its never too late to change your focus!

First term councillor Tony Christiansen gave an impassioned speech, citing his disappoint-ment at previous councils reluctance to increase rates to a suffi cient level. I didnt interrupt him but afterwards I did alert him to my contention that even if the rates increases of those years had been doubled, those councils were unlikely to have spent it on core infrastructure anyway. In my opinion, waste water and storm water were set back at least a decade with the fi nancial restraints imposed on them. Simply, elected members on those councils, in the majority, were focused elsewhere. Pipes in the ground dont make good election planks because no one can see them whereas buildings make good entries on your CV is an old adage in local government.

Failed attemptA last minute attempt to reinstate $80,000 of

an original $150,000 earmarked for promotion of Baypark ASB arena, and associated CCO operations, failed. Because it was a recent reso-lution to remove the $150,000, a 75 per cent majority was required. Peter Farmer, chairman of Bay Leisure and Events for whom the money was intended, said this was a transitional cost. I asked how this could be a ratepayer respon-sibility when it was for promotional costs and he didnt give a convincing response in my opinion. That $80,000 is about 40 peoples rates, and it has to be recognised that one pur-pose of council forming the CCO is to detach it from ratepayers breasts and stand on its own feet. The promotional work is a great move and should happen but not at ratepayers expense.

Rick Curach, Larry Baldock and others, are most concerned that some council employees

(about 50) dont receive a living wage ($18.65) per hour. The minimum wage is $13.75 per hour. The living wage concept is a good thought and it would also be good if all ratepayers could also receive

a weekly minimum income of $18.65 per hour.

Gate Pa commemo-ration fi nances will get $50,000 towards upgrading the Gate Pa reserve, with already budgeted for funds being repriori-tised. Te Ranga battle site will get consideration in later years in a united approach to Bay of Plenty Regional Council and Western Bay District Council and other funding sources. Te Ranga is in Western Bay district.

Controlled developmentA parting thought on the fl ooding situa-

tion council found itself in consequent to the April 20-21 fl oods. It is another consequence of intensifi cation. Planners and others con-stantly harp on that city boundaries must be contained, because of the cost of expanding infrastructure, and intensifi cation is the way forward. But controlled development of green-

fi elds sites might be less costly than retro-fi tting services to the likes of affected areas such as Matua. Staff showed photos of the Matua area in 1943 when it was a farm, then of 1977 with full section development, then of 2012 with infi ll develop-ment. These three photos spoke a thousand words see for yourself. So a carefully designed expansion of controlled boundaries may not be the bogey that is portrayed, and may even bring down the cost of land. It was an inspired moment when a majority of elected members

voted down the publicly unpopu-lar proposal for nodal intensifi ca-tion at Greerton, Arataki and the Avenues in 2006-2007.

At the Projects and Monitoring committee, elected members consid-ered the future of the Cargo Shed on Dive Crescent for the next 12

months. It seems there has been an irreconcil-able difference between Creative Tauranga, which presently hold the lease on the Cargo Shed (at $5500 per year), and the tenants/stall holders. We heard presentations from both and in a unanimous decision the stallholders were awarded the lease subject to the chief executive being satisfi ed that all arrangements protected councils position. This has been a sorry affair in that both groups have similar objectives but it was clear that they were never going to get back together. Cest la vie!

This weeks mindbender from Henry W Austin Genius, that power which dazzles mortal eyes, is often but perseverance in disguise.

Warming up winter in styleIts offi cial winter is here.

We know its cold, but you dont have to suffer at home. Staff at Harvey Furnishings are encouraging residents to keep their home warm with new, top quality curtains and blinds.

How does this work? By installing new curtains or blinds, they can effec-tively block out the cold from outside, and keep the heat inside.

As New Zealands largest manu-facturer and retailer of curtains and blinds, Harvey Furnishings has been

providing customers with high quality products for more than 50 years so they know what theyre talking about.

The Tauranga store on Cameron Rd is packed full with a huge selection of readymade curtains and readymade blinds, cushions, bedspreads and seat covers for an instant make-over this winter.

As well as selling every style of curtain and accessory, they also sell every style of Venetian, vertical, roller and roman blinds and a wide range of shutters.

Three local artists are coming together to offer people a one day workshop to develop their

personal interests and Eat, Move and Make.

The event at Ohauiti Hall on June 22 is a chance for people to take time out to develop their own interests, learn from others, and generally meet like-minded people.

Organiser Emily Mowbray-Marks says the idea was thrown around by a group of mothers discussing how diffi cult it is to take the time to develop their own interests as an adult.

As parents you put a lot of time into educating and developing your kids. But this is an opportunity for adults to push pause and be creative for a day.

The non-profi t event features three key facets based around the Eat, Move and Make philosophy.

Each component will be led by a local artist with a break taken for a long lunch that Emily says will include options for all eaters.

All the food and drink is included, there will be gluten-free and vegetarian options as well.

By Corrie Taylor

Harvey Furnishings also stocks famous brands of fabrics and the latest fashion textiles from around the world; and a huge range of its own direct-import value fabrics.

Dont know what to choose? No problem, their highly-qualifi ed, in-home consultants can help

anyone fi nd the perfect fi t for their home.

They also offer free in-home consultations, so they can see fi rst-hand what your home needs.

Consultants have a full range of samples to view with your colour scheme and furnishings and

theyre happy to provide design advice for your requirements.

Dont put up with a cold home this winter, phone the team at Harvey Furnishings or visit www.harveyfurnishings.co.nz to book a consultation.

The event coincides with the winter solstice, which Emily says makes for the perfect setting.

CURRYBalmorals stepping outOne-pot winter warmer

Last week, as winter was biting I suggested that a warming soup or one-pot wonder were the best thing at the end of the day. As I am writing this its a sunny Tauranga day and thoughts of winter are far away. However, I do have a crop of pump-kin ready at the front doorstep for soup. But my thoughts today are of curry. Some curries can take a lot to prepare and others are simple, like this weeks recipe, which can be made in a large frying pan with a lid.

Vegetable curries come in many styles and types but I quite like a simple rustic one that is easy to prepare. With plenty of good pumpkin around, it goes well with ginger, garlic and coconut cream, as it does in my favourite pumpkin soup. This curry is a deconstruction of Thai-style pump-kin and peanut soup. By adding a crust to the pumpkin, and simmering it in spiced coconut cream, the fl avours are all there to warm us up this winter.

Crusted pumpkin curry 450-500g pumpkin (half a medium-size

pumpkin) cut into 4cm cubes 1 fi nely chopped brown onion 1 tsp chopped garlic 2 tsp chopped ginger 2 Tbsp Korean chilli powder 200ml coconut cream 1 cinnamon stick 2 Tsp lime juice 50-60g palm sugar oil for cooking

Crusting mix cup raw blanched

peanuts (lightly toasted and fi nely chopped)

100g pumpkin seeds 2 Tbsp coriander

seeds 1 Tbsp cumin seeds 1 tsp turmeric powder

1 Tbsp sea salt fl akes

MethodToast coriander and cumin seeds by dry-frying

in a hot pan. Remove and toast pumpkin seeds then crush all in a mortar and pestle. Add the turmeric, sea salt and fi nely chopped peanuts. Toss the diced pumpkin in the dry mixture then pan-fry in a large, hot pan with a little oil for a few minutes each side and set aside. Add the remaining spice mix to a food processor and blend to a paste with a dribble of the pan juices. Using a spatula, top the cubes of partially cooked pumpkin with the crust paste.

Allow to rest while you make the sauce. In the same pan, (an electric pan with a lid is ideal), which should have a spicy residue, add a little oil and cook the onion until soft and golden, then add ginger, garlic, the chilli powder and then add the coconut cream with equal amounts of water and the stick of cinnamon. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, then add the pumpkin pieces carefully back into the pan. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 15 minutes or until pumpkin pieces are tender. Add the lime juice and grated palm sugar and cook for a few more minutes. Serve with rice or just by itself.

Sometimes, I think today's builders have a real identity crisis. It seems everyone is a builder. Do an apprenticeship - and bam - you're a builder. Pick up a hammer, grab a

licence - and bam - you're a builder.

This has resulted from a watering down of the good old days when the road to the top was quite structured. An appren-tice would start their journey and evolve into a carpenter, then leading hand, and onto supervi-sor.

Keen to learn the ropes of their forefathers, they often carried through as a trade qualifi ed builder, and often clerk of works, developing wider skills such as quantity surveying and business acumen.

The ultimate, of course, was business ownership, sharing their skill set with a valued team of tradesman. Employers and homeowners had a measuring stick as to the capabilities and value a tradesman bought to their project.

In today's world, we often see a business owner, with no real level of physical build-

Are builders in an identity crisis?ing experience, leading a team to build your investment.

The team has a site supervisor, who needs nothing more than a carpentry license to supervise and sign off a raft of labour-only gangs. In this scenario, eve-

ryone calls themselves a builder.

What this does is diminishes the value

proposition of a trades-man, who has worked their way up the ladder encompassing both trade and business skills through a structure of stepping stones. So how do you spot a true blue builder?

Ask to see their trade qualifi cation and struc-tured evolution. To fi nd your true blue trade qualifi ed builder, visit: www.certifi ed.co.nz

Katikati has launched its new Community Response Plan and is looking for volunteers

to fi ll back-up positions on its response team.

In February, Katikati Community Board tasked Katch Katikati to develop the plan, in conjunc-tion with Western Bay of Plenty Council and Civil Defence for use during a civil emergency in the township.

Launched this month, Katch Katikati promotions manager Jacqui Knight says the plan, compiled by a steering committee during three months this year, was called for by her after shed heard a Civil Defence spokesperson highlight its need.

Shed also saw Omokoroas plan, while Waihi Beach and Te Puke continue work on theirs. Having spoken with people who experienced Christchurchs earthquakes and the diffi culty they faced in not knowing what to do, where to go or what was happening, I thought it was vital, says Jacqui. We live in a relatively risky area, defi -nitely for tsunami but also earthquakes or volcanic

eruption. So I think if you can be prepared or have a thought of what do youll be a lot safer and youre chance of survival will be good.

Encompassing the townships 50km zone, the plan outlines evacuation points and gives critical information on the towns available resources, such as fi rst aid, fuel, water supplies, transport, genera-tors, camping and earthmoving equipment, cooking facilities, bedding and radio gear. It also formalises a Katikati Community Response team, which takes

responsibility for setting up evacuation points and welfare centres. Before, no-one held that responsi-bility, instead we relied on emergency services which may not be able to initially focus on that side of the issue, says Jacqui.

Jacqui says forming the plan has highlighted the communitys resources and its a second group of people to help assist the community during such an event while emergency services are busy.

She will now visit Tan-ners Point, Tuapiro /Ongare Point and Sharp Rd areas, which could be isolated by road washouts, to ensure each has a safety plan. To volunteer, call 07 549 5250.

The most important aspect to being in the

rental property investment business is the selection

of your tenants. If you get this wrong it will cost

you in rent arrears and, or, costly damage to be repaired. This not only will cost you money but your time, and the stress that goes with it.

To get the selection right you must get references from your prospective tenants and you must check them out with a phone call. On their application for your property, you need to have history of where they have lived for at least the last fi ve years and call each of those landlords and then always take into account what they have said. Sometimes

unwanted tenants will have friends take those reference calls, so make sure who you are calling the person that does own the property. You should never compromise on the references received from a potential tenant just because you may be losing money on a vacant property you will lose a lot more if they are bad tenants.

Also in our tenant selection pro-cess, we do a Driver License check to see if they have any Tenancy Tribunal orders against them, and a credit check.

Even after you have made your selection for a good tenant, their circumstances might change. Life

has a way of doing that, as a job gets lost or a marriage breaks up. All of these and other life changes can affect the way a tenant lives and treats their landlord so getting to know your tenant is very important too.

In summary get the selection process right. Stay in touch with your

tenants, get on with them (as they are paying off your investment), and you will have a trouble-free time as a landlord.

Or you can call us, leave the stress behind and use your time to make money doing what you do best.

Tenant selection to save money

Spotting the Southern CrossMid-June the Southern Cross or Crux,

the constellation gracing our national fl ag, features high in the south.

Crux is kite shaped and has two distinct pointer stars commonly known as Alpha and Beta Centauri, differentiating it from the False Cross, the diamond shaped constellation to its right.

Alpha Centauri is actually a binary star-system; the two closely orbit-ing stars are separable when viewing through a decent telescope. Alpha Cen-tauri is also generally the closest star to us, barring our own Sun, and about 4.3 light years away from us. The bright star below Crux is Canopus.

The constellation of Scorpio can be seen lying on its back in the east. The brightest star

in Scorpio is Antares, which features a slightly reddish hue. The froth of the Milky Way, our own galaxy, is brightest and broadest around the constellation of Sag-

ittarius, found just below Scorpio. The Clouds of Magellan, LMC and

SMC, are in the lower southern sky, easily seen by eye on a dark moonless night.

Both of these neighbouring galax-ies are smaller than our own Milky Way, and approximately 160,000 and 200,000 light years distant.

The Large Cloud is about fi ve per cent the mass of the Milky Way, but that is still many billions of stars.

The Small Cloud is about three per cent the mass of the Milky Way.

Saturn graces the northeastern sky, with the star Spica of the constellation

Virgo ten oclock of it.

Sick of having a stained and scratched benchtop?

Why not install a new heat, stain and scratch resistant benchtop that only require

a wipe with a damp cloth to keep it clean? Or a benchtop

that looks and feels like stone but at nowhere

near the cost?

Benchtop Transformations has been, as the name suggests, trans-forming benchtops for more than three years.

Director Bruce Dawson and his team can fi t a stone benchtop in just one day, by fi tting the stone directly over an existing bench-top making it look brand new. Benchtop Transformations uses ROXX engineered stone, a 100 per cent New Zealand-made material available in a range of colours.

Bruce has been a stonemason for

more than 30 years and believes that ROXX is the best engineered stone that money can buy.

The team can also transform bathroom vanities, bath surrounds or fi re places. They also manufac-ture new benchtops and vanities for new designer kitchens or bath-rooms.

Bruce also offers a 10 year war-ranty for the material, a fi ve year warranty for the workmanship and free comprehensive, obligation-free quotes.
