Howick celebrates th its 170 birthday H

owick is this month celebrating its 170th birthday – and it is inviting the community to join in. It is a prelude to massive 175th anniversary celebrations and organisers are looking for ideas and interested parties. Lead organiser, Howick Local Board’s Jim Donald, said the first order of business is a birthday lunch on Sunday, November 19 at the Howick Club.

“This 170th is the beginning of preparations for the 175th,” said Donald. “The (marketing) poster has a recording of the Fencibles arriving in Howick and at the 175th, we intend to replicate this. “We are hoping to bring Lord Howick from England to the 175th as well.” Rob Mouncey, a co-organiser and president of the Howick & Districts

Historical Society, says this month’s celebration is a day of history with those attending the lunch able to visit the Howick Historical Village with a 25 per cent discount on entry at Sunday’s live day. “One of the ideas behind the lunch is to get sufficient interested parties to form a steering group leading up to the 175th birthday,” said Mouncey. “The society is supporting this

event not only because it’s Howick’s birthday but more, it’s interested in getting together with others to plan a significant event to celebrate the 175th anniversary.” ■ To attend the 170th birthday luncheon on Sunday, November 19, contact Jim Donald to buy a $25 ticket – 535-8711. Ticket holders will be entitled to 25 per cent off the entry fee to the live day at Howick Historical Village on the day.

Mighty Elevens beat Aussies Local rider Sacha Earnest leading the way in the final race of the 2017 Mighty Elevens trans-Tasman Competition.

junior Kiwi BMX team headed by a local rider Sacha Earnest has beaten the Aussies in the latest leg of the Mighty Elevens BMX trans-Tasman Competition to tie the series. Mountain Raiders BMX rider Sacha has captained the New Zealand BMX Mighty Elevens Girls team twice this year. The Mighty Elevens comprise the four fastest New

Zealand and Australian 11-year old boys and girls. The first test in Sydney, the girls lost to the Australians. The trans-Tasman test is an event quite unlike normal BMX racing. This is the only time the kids are allowed to work as a team to collect points for their team Sacha, a three-time age group World Championship title holder, is dedicated to BMX. This year her goal was

to represent NZ in the BMX Mighty Elevens trans-Tasman test. This biannual event has been going on since the mid 1980s. In the second test at Labour weekend in Whangarei, as captain Sacha had to lead from the front to block and sweep the Australian girls to allow the Kiwi girls a chance to get ahead and gather points for the team. It is an extremely tough competition

both physically and mentally to win. Team coach Clive Telford, the mastermind behind the race tactics, relied heavily on Earnest to execute the race plan. Sacha rode her heart out and put her body on the line even when she knew she was being targeted. At the end of the five team races over two days, Sacha was able to lead the team to victory. The other riders in the Mighty Eleven

NZ Girls Test Team were Greer Hall (Cambridge), Jaydah Lees (Tauranga) and Kiera Waite (Tauranga) who was a last minute replacement when Nikita Boyle (North Harbour) broke her arm the week before. The NZ Mighty Elevens Boys team captained by Mountain Raiders’ Lewis Atkinson were unable to secure victory over the Aussies.

A toast to the captain The Captain Cook Society has hosted a biennial conference in Howick. It presented

Presentations were made by leading New Zealand authors Graeme Lay and Tessa Duder, Dr Nigel Rankin on “scurvy” and also Alison Sutherland, best known for her work resurrecting the famous Arapawa goats, first landed in the Marlborough Sounds by Cook himself. The society is an

international group based in the UK whose world president is currently Kiwi John Robson.

he new pedestrian pathway at Little Buckland’s Beach is causing tension as some residents suggest the money would have been better spent on the seawall restoration project. The pathway was a Howick Local Board initiative to improve pedestrian safety by separating pedestrians from vehicle traffic with timber sleepers. Bucklands and Eastern Beaches Ratepayers and Residents Association chair Steve Udy says the implementation of the pathway has left him questioning the dedication of the board towards fixing coastal erosion issues. “Residents didn’t want this. They didn’t want to lose their parking spaces for a temporary pathway, they don’t want a crumbling road resealed, they want the seawall fixed,” he says. Udy has been working in partnership with Olympian and Bucklands Beach resident Bruce Kendall on a solution-based approach to the coastal erosion dilemma. While the pair agree that pedestrian safety needs to be a priority, they believe the project wasn’t a safe or cost effective solution. According to Auckland Transport the road cost $171,837 to resurface between Wharf and Laings Roads and about a further $37,000 to widen the shoulder for the pathway.

“[The pathway] starts right at the Lois Phillips’ garden. Photos supplied beginning of the seawall and finished at the end of the seawall and should direct you onto a footpath leading out to Grangers Point,” Udy says. “But people continue walking up along the road because...your natural tendency is to keep walking straight rather than veering off towards the footpath.

The Movember Foundation is making an appeal to local secondary schools to let the boys grow mos. Photo supplied

Let students grow!

Please find below a copy of a letter that has been mailed out to 178 schools nationwide requesting a suspension of their ‘clean shave’ policy for Movember. The following schools in your area received a copy of the letter: Botany Downs Secondary College, Howick College, Elim Christian College, Macleans College and Edgewater College Dear Principal, We are writing to you today, because we need your help.

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

We believe you have the power to help save young men’s lives with one simple act; making an exemption to your school rules, and letting your students grow moustaches for a month. This November, men across New Zealand will be growing them to show their support for men’s health and wellbeing. But as you might be aware, a number of young men at schools are unable to participate because of rules which prohibit the growth of facial hair. If you already allow your students to participate in Movember this year, please forgive us. But if you don’t, please hear why we think you should. Men don’t like to talk about their health. Unlike women, who are encouraged from a young age to be open about their feelings, there’s an expectation that opening up about their health is some sort of weakness, that they should ‘take it like a man’. And as a result, we’re losing many of them

far too young. New Zealand has the highest rate of male youth suicide in the world. We have to get them talking to each other, and their refusal to do so is, in many ways, more toxic than any disease. That’s why Movember exists. For the month of November, men sport moustaches for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, suicide awareness, and other health issues affecting men. These hairy badges are a way for men to open up conversations, inspire donations and change, in their own, uniquely male, way. Allowing students at your school the opportunity to participate in Movember is an incredible opportunity to get young men, together as one, talking about issues that are affecting their lives, and creating some real change. You can give them the opportunity to grow, not just a moustache, but a healthy mindset. Let’s get them wearing mous-

taches on the sports field, in the classroom, in the playground, and facing each other man to man, mo to mo, and changing the face of men’s health.

Better spot for bus stop

The proposed Howick bus rest stop on Cook St threatens to take over several essential shoppers’ car parks on Howick’s main thoroughfare. Meanwhile, the old Howick police station and traffic cop offices, together with their car parks, lay disused and purposeless on Fencible Drive, a route intended and promoted promoted as a high street bypass. Let our bus drivers get their peace and stretch their legs away from the main road. They’d be closer to a bakery and several cafes as well as a supermarket and pharmacy.

Pak Rd fuel prices are just too high I work out Papatoetoe way and when I drive to work along Ti Rikau and down Harris Rd the price of fuel (95) varies at times from $1.74 to $1.84. But if I drive down Pakuranga Highway the price of fuel is $1.90. Why do people in Howick and Pakuranga have to pay more for fuel? Maybe they lack the “Gull” influence? So maybe change your route home when you need to fill up.

Preparing for the future I

n 1964, Ayrlies Garden was simply a large piece of land with a small cottage placed on it. Today, it sprawls across some four hectares of rolling terrain, with large lawns, ponds and waterfalls. The magnificence and scale of Ayrlies Garden is such that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Such is the sheer size and wonder of the gardens that it takes its toll and with owner Beverley McConnell now in her eighties, her son John McConnell says the focus is now on preserving the garden and wetlands for future generations. “We made the call that we wanted to keep the garden for as long as we can into the future,” he said.

Mr McConnell says they entered extensive discussions with Auckland Council about what to do with an area of land left over from the old farm which is now too small to function as a farm. “We had a long hard chat with council but they didn’t see it as being a significant piece of land in context of what their plans were.” He says they’re selling off sections of the land in order to raise some capital. “Our hope is that we can invest that capital and the proceeds of that can look after these gardens and wetlands for the future. “The way I see it, you’re on this earth for however long your lifespan is...if you can leave a place in a better way than which you found it then you’ve done okay.”

Raising the bar for property management I

t’s not very often that when 100 people are invited to a party, 70 guests promptly RSVP saying they will be attending. Jane Wilsher of Elite Property Management must be a loved and respected professional in her field for such a huge turnout to a party she recently hosted to celebrate moving to a bigger and more welcoming office at 1 Central Terrace, Howick Mall. She was overwhelmed to see around a hundred guests streaming in from 5.30pm onwards. Bouquets of flowers in the spanking new office speak of a fun celebration with a mix of clients, businesses in the neighbourhood, contractors, homeowners, tenants, friends and family. Having moved from 128 Picton Street, Howick where the team spent over 11 years crammed in a tiny space, the shift to a very central office in the heart of the Howick Village points towards growth and expansion of the business. Sitting in the well-appointed office that has a friendly and relaxed appeal with four work stations, a meeting table, a comfortable couch and kitchen, Jane is thrilled with the whole new working environment. She wanted it to be homely but still a professional space and she has certainly achieved that effect. That apart, she is happy that her husband Scott, who has spent 32 years in the construction industry, has joined the business, bringing his vast experience with him. The couple have, for many years, owned investment properties themselves both here in NZ and overseas. Now the team of four professionals at Elite Property Management including Sharon van Zyl, Marie Trigger, Scott and Jane continue to

■■ Scott, Jane, Sharon and Marie – at their new offices, 1 Central Terrace, Howick Mall. strive hard to raise the bar. “Our level of service is better because of the ratio of properties managed to the number of staff,” says Jane a former site engineer in UK who later took on property management. “Our core business is residential property management and the ethos of the business is to provide a better service than our competitors. That is why I originally named the business “Elite” Property Management. As a well-established, local property management specialist, we are taking things to a whole new level.” With the focus being 100 per cent on property management, Elite has grown mainly through referrals and recommendations. Jane is very proud of this fact.

“The amount of time we spend selecting the right tenant for the right property, is the point of difference,” says Jane who believes that instead of spending time sorting out bad tenancies, it is important to get the right fit the first-time round. “When you have the right tenant in the right property, everyone is happy,” she says. From tenant screening to property inspections, all aspects of the service at Elite Property Management is thoroughly executed. Providing comprehensive management solutions to all homeowners and property investors, their services include rental appraisal, property viewing, advertising, tenant selection, compiling the tenancy agreement and bond lodgement, property condition reports, rent collection, monitoring,

regular property inspections, arranging maintenance, tenant disputes and mediation as well as providing financial statements. The company also regularly under takes complete home renovations increasing the value of properties and thereby enabling their owners to achieve much better returns through capital growth, higher rents and the best of tenants.

I would like to draw your attention on the performance of Auckland City. I enclose photos of nonmaintenance and lack of mowing of Reelick Avenue Park by Auckland City. This park has not been mowed since May/June 2017. I have sent three notifications for service via Auckland City website ”request for service” as well as “complaints” but this is still unattended. Auckland City Parks team response is the grounds have been too wet since June to mow the park. I have told them it is a self perpetuating cycle. If you don’t mow, the grass retains water and the longer the grass, the harder it will be to dry out. They have let it

State of parks in Howick I think the H&P Times need to get involved with the public dissatisfaction with the state of our Parks and Reserves. There are so many pictures on social media and people have had enough of having nothing done or done properly by the new Auckland Council contractors. Wet winter I know but this level of work in not acceptable.

Was it spent on paying council staff their very high wages or the $2.956 million for the Independent Maori Statuary Board or what? A question which has received no answer. No doubt he will not answer this.

All aboard for Christmas Hi everyone Time is certainly heading like a fast train to Christmas. Midnight Madness planning is well underway with the promise of fabulous food, friends, fun, Sammy the train and lots of other entertainment throughout the night. There are giveaways, spot prizes, and town centre stores have specials from the beginning of the day. Entertainment kicks off at 6pm and goes until late. Picton Street will be closed to traffic from Cook Street through to Wellington Street for the festivities. The Howick Local Board is conducting the Stockade Hill tree lighting from 7.30pm. In other news there has been a great increase of professional entertainers coming through the town centre, including Jennifer Ward-Lealand, Ben Hurley,

Australia’s Hot Shots, and Mick Peck the magician. Howick comes alive at night and sees sold-out events and entertainment. The usual rugby and racing is well attended too. Uxbridge held an extremely successful school holiday programme recently, and completely filled all available spaces. The programme is very popular, so have a look at the Uxbridge website for further details or for after school activities for your little ones (or big ones). I was privileged to be invited along to the opening of the restored Eckfords Farm homestead, at the Howick Historical Village recently. Alongside the official speeches, and a stunning day, having a look through this building is definitely a step back in time, and well worth a visit. In particular personally, the

handmade intricate lace stitching still on crochet hooks was very interesting, and most definitely impressive. The recent Blue September lunch held at the Good Home, Howick, raised a substantial amount for the appeal, and sold out to a full house! Well done indeed. Howick regularly holds events that raise funds for appeals. Howick’s 170th birthday is to be celebrated on November 19 at the Howick Club. Tickets are for sale at Readaway books for $25 each. You might choose a Howick heritage day and attend the Howick Historical Village prior to, or after lunch. The weekly market is gaining momentum, as the weather improves, and the wind dies down, people come out and about to see what is on offer.

Christmas is coming along, so perhaps it’s time to make a visit and see what surprises you can purchase for your gift-giving this year. Strawberries are back for the season! Howick Local Board has also launched its Howick Heritage App, appropriately titled Howick‘s Heritage. On the app you will see a few walks that can be done around the town centre. To support the app is another app called STQRY. This app, once downloaded, will give you further information about the historic sites in the town centre, and without having to use your data! Pokémon collectors are appearing in and around the town centre at times. Up to 100 people gather to wait for the impending arrival of Meowtwo, or an impending Pokémon (invisible cell phone) ‘battle’. So if you see

On his return, Dr Russell will work in all areas of general practice and he is hoping to gain further hands-on experience conducting some of the minor surgeries performed at Crawford Medical. “Also, I really enjoy paediatrics,” says Dr Russell. “Healthy kids are fun and with sick kids, it’s nice to see them getting better and seeing the whole family together.” Dr Russell studied at the University of Otago, and he knows Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions well. He and his wife have moved into a new home and they spend much of their free time on DIY projects. When there is any time left over, you’ll find Dr Russell active in numerous sports from beach volleyball to tennis and golf.

Discover something new about carwashing T

.J’s CarWash Botany has just installed the very latest in automatic carwash machines – the Supremo Autowashe!

Made in Germany by Christ Wash Systems, the world’s leading carwash makers, it’s been named Supremo Autowashe for not one but four very good reasons – it has four main features not available on any carwash machine in New Zealand. They include: • Four jointed vertical brushes which contour to the shape of your car delivering far more contact with the surface and producing a superior wash result. All that touches your car is the tips of the Sensofil Plus brush material

reducing pressure points on corner areas. A single axil brush on normal automatic machines cannot achieve this. Twice the wash for the same money! • Pre blast – any abrasive material is blasted off the car, eliminating the risk of surface damage. You could say, “we wash your car before we wash your car.” • Sensoﬁl Plus brush material. A first in New Zealand this produces a high quality wash result without surface damage. Furthermore, as the machine is washing your car, the brushes are also being washed. We use lots of water to keep things clean during the wash process. • Contour directional drying –

another newbie in New Zealand. The specially designed drying agent delivers a result like you have never seen before. There lots more, too. Supremo wash option applies a high p.h. detergent product to car wheels and lower panels dealing to that heavy road grime and brake pad build up. While some modern wheel shapes are hard to clean, the isolating wheel brushes do a first class job. All this can be activated via cash, debit or credit card from the driver’s seat – best value, best result.

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, November 2, 2017 — 9

Elections (& Winston) have consequences “Elections have consequences” is a phrase I’ve been using a lot the past week. It has been my response to questions that have come my way as people come to grips with the outcome of Winston’s decision on who he would make Prime Minister. Yes, I did choose those words carefully. The pretence of a decision-making body within New Zealand First was paraded, but we all know it was Winston’s decision. Howick’s former MP from the late ‘70s has a long memory. Decades of past run-ins with his former National Party continue to be etched into his mind. So much so the die was likely cast many years ago. New Zealand has a new government. I congratulate Jacinda Ardern. I know she is a good person and she will put her best foot forward. She is now the country’s highest profile match maker, and has a three year contract to make this very disparate partnership

work. In Botany, a third of people voted for one of the three parties in her government. Over 60 per cent voted for National. In those circumstances, I understand the emotion that has been felt. It’s frustrating, but the sun will still keep rising. The grass will continue to grow in the Local Board’s unmown reserves. Life has already returned to normal for all but the most eager of politicos. When the Parliament opens

ami-Lee Ross MP for Botany

next Tuesdayn it will be jarring seeing Jacinda sitting in Bill’s old seat. That’s our democracy though. We have the MMP result Winston chose. National will now be taking up the role of chief questioners, principal inquirers, and watchdogs of the public purse. It will get a bit negative at times, though we can at least say all the moving parts on our side of the ledger do get along well. We are professionals and we will get on with it. I now owe it to Botany to keep working hard for my community. That’s my bottom line that I expect to be held to. The triennial contract renewal process will be cathartic. Elections have consequences and so do decisions that are made, however it won’t be all that long before New Zealand gets to wield those orange pens once again.

the rubbish within it and what I could do to make a difference,” said Emily, a Macleans Primary School student.

The 11-year-old’s speech hosted at Owairoa Primary School, was on recycling and how we can save the planet.

Emily says she completed a lot of research and feels passionate about the subject after she did recycling, composting and tidying up at school and at home, located near a creek. The house captainays she also wrote to Auckland Council about recycling and cleaning the creek at the back of Howick Club. “There is so much of rubbish and shopping trolleys left behind,” she says. Emily’s mother, Melanie Harper who is a teacher at Macleans Primary, says that while the Howick and Pakuranga Times Cup has been awarded to different schools since 2005, their school had not won it for a very long time. “It was a huge surprise for us and we are thrilled that she won it.”

Two exhibitions open this week at Malcolm Smith Gallery. Benjamin Work’s exhibition, Whenua Fonua’ ‘Enua opens this Saturday, November 4 at 2.30pm and our special exhibition of Korean Ceramics opens on Thursday, November 2 at 6.30pm. In Whenua Fonua’ ‘Enua Aucklandbased artist Benjamin Work explores the significance of name and place and the importance of these indicators that connect us to our past and highlight the characteristics of our present. The exhibition considers relationships Work has discovered between his personal history and the history of the tangata whenua. Work was raised in Pakuranga in East Auckland and the surrounding suburbs and landmarks have been formative in his practice and his journey to creating this exhibition. Korea’s Icheon ceramics village became the centre of traditional pottery during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) for about 500 years due to the easily obtainable materials in the area. A special exhibition of ceramics from this area has come to UXBRIDGE and features the work of 8 ceramic artists from Icheon. As well as the opening celebration on November 2, we are also hosting a demonstration by some of the Korean artists on Friday, November 3 from 12pm to 2pm. All events are free to attend and everyone is welcome. Zoe Hoeberigs Manager Curator Malcolm Smith Gallery

Last month we celebrated Monterey Gallery’s 18th birthday and it’s no small feat that this humble little gallery has continued to evolve for nearly two decades! It wouldn’t be without the continued support of our patrons, artists, our faithful regulars and new friends, so, thank you! Monterey Gallery is hosting two more exhibitions before the end of the year and next up is a solo show of paintings by Mo Stewart which opens on November 4, 3pm. If you’ve had the pleasure of seeing Mo’s earlier works you’ll know she hasn’t always practiced abstract painting. Her earlier works include huge bodies of stunning portraits and even a period where she painted highly detailed tin-can cities complete with matchbox cars and crowds of tiny pedestrians. Abstract painting was a challenge Mo set upon herself a few years ago and her intention is to find balance between calm and chaos with her heavy oversized brush strokes and soft graphite details. Gesture is evidently important within her search for those harmonious combinations and the optimum balance is an elusive thing. Mo has been a practicing artist for over 15 years and she has been a finalist in the Estuary Art Awards, placed second in the Franklin Art Awards and first place in Royal Easter Show. Mo’s paintings will be accompanied by elegantly coiled ceramics made by Waiheke based artist Kiya Nancarrow. Holly Davies Owner - Monterey Gallery

Connecting with the past

By Kelly Teed here’s a murder mystery at Howick Historical Village – a fictional one at least. Detectives swarmed the village earlier in the year to solve the latest ‘whodunnit’ in the fictional murder mystery series The Brokenwood Mysteries. Set in the fictional Kiwi country town of Brokenwood, the series follows Detective Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neil Rea) as he attempts to solve murder mysteries with the help of DC Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland) and DC Breen (Nic Sampson). Some Howick Village volunteers got their time in the limelight by acting as colonial extras. Cristina Ionda, who plays Brokenwood pathologist Gina Kadinsky says filming at the village was “like stepping back in time.” “When I saw it I was overwhelmed... it was a lovely personal experience.” She says she enjoys the variety of the role: “You always learn something new. Another victim another way of death.” The episode, Stone Cold Dead will screen this Sunday November 5 at 8:30pm on Prime.

he new Government should target new housing and employment on unzoned land along the rail line through Paerata to meet Auckland’s growth challenge,” said Stephen Selwood, CEO of Infrastructure New Zealand. “Our latest report released last week examines the cost of growth in different greenfield areas around the city where land is accessible and non-sensitive and finds Paerata (north of Pukekohe) to be the best on balance for major new development. “It is cheaper to service with water, energy and transport and strategically located near to employment. “If the satellite city was supported by a $2 billion upgrade of the rail corridor, we could four-track the southern rail line, allowing non-stop commuter services from the satellite to central Auckland and work places in between. It would put the new city within half an hour of the city and would allow rail freight to be separated from traditional commuter services. KiwiRail could operate with a much greater degree of freedom, helping to get freight off roads. “Being within 30 minutes of the CBD would also allow much greater densities to be achieved at the satellite than would be possible under a traditional expansive urban development approach,” Selwood said. “Paerata would be a genuine city. It would provide a range of

housing choices and with good masterplanning would be much more land efficient and resilient in a changing climate. “The most exciting aspect is that the city could be designed to deliver all of our aspirations for the future enabling sustainable living and leveraging technology to the fullest extent.” The city could build better, stronger communities, free from the constraints of previous decisions. Developing at scale, they could facilitate the shift to more advanced home construction techniques, common throughout the rest of the world. These were critical to lifting productivity and enabling supply to increase. Scale would also be attractive to domestic and international developers and investors. “If the new Government was to prioritise growth in a satellite city near the rail line in the south and tie new zoning to reprioritised transport investment, we could deliver homes at around half the current cost, Selwood said. “We estimate that an average new home would cost $430,000 to build.” That included land, development, infrastructure, GST – everything except a return for risk. How the satellite was delivered, including what risks were accepted by the Government, would determine what price homes could be sold for. “This is the full cost – not a subsidy. It’s what houses should

cost if we plan well and break through some of the barriers created by our current planningfunding-governance system,” he said. “Growth can pay for itself if it is well planned. “The growth model we have in place at the moment not only allows development in areas which cannot affordably be serviced, it is preventing the delivery of housing at its actual, affordable cost. It is enabling sprawl on productive soil and poor quality infill in established suburbs. “Intensification of extremely expensive brownfield land is not delivering housing at the price or speed which is required. “Proactively targeting growth around rail is cheaper, consumes less land and will deliver faster housing.” The satellite city model could be scaled up to take advantage of new investment and provide for Auckland growth over the long term. It could be aligned with muchneeded investments in education and health to deliver an exemplar city of the future, providing a better urban lifestyle than can be achieved under existing practice. “The current incremental approach to growth management in Auckland must change. It is too slow, too expensive and is adding to congestion. Integrating urban development and infrastructure at scale is the solution,” Selwood said.

Howick and Pakuranga Times, Thursday, November 2, 2017 — 17

Average 3brm rent November $542 per week in the garden where denser residential developments can be constructed, or where land costs are lower,” says Ms Barfoot. Commenting on the relationship between Auckland residential sales and the rental market, Ms Barfoot says, “I wouldn’t expect rent to flatten out as house prices in Auckland have. Just as Auckland rents didn’t increase at double-digit rates along with house prices last year, or the year before.”

Would-be home buyers pushing up onebedroom rent prices The largest rent increases in terms of property size were for

one-bedroom homes, which averaged $359 per week, rising 6.02 per cent from $339 in Q3 2016. In Central Suburbs, the increase for onebedroom rentals was 9 per cent, with average weekly rent increasing from $339 to $370. “Almost 60 per cent of renters plan to buy a home in the next twoto-five years, but we know that saving for a 20- per cent deposit and tough lending restrictions are delaying people from buying. “In Auckland Central, where a large number of apartments have become available in the past couple of years, rent for one-bedroom prop-

erties has increased at the same rate as the citywide average, showing that the demand is there. Many of these new apartments have been in the higher end and will appeal to people moving on from a flatting situation, but who are yet to buy a place of their own.” In Q3 2017, across Auckland, two-bedroom properties averaged $451 (up 4.14 per cent from $433), three bedrooms averaged $542 (up 4.16 per cent from $520), four bedrooms averaged $679 (up 4.13 per cent from $652) and five-ormore-bedroom homes averaged $841 (up 4.7 per cent from $804).

with Palmers

The best place to kick off November is in your kitchen garden, where it’s the perfect time to make sure that your favourite summer vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, lettuce, sweet corn, spring onions, capsicum and chillies are in the ground. Planting basil in amongst your tomato plants will boost the flavour of both plants as they are perfect companions in the garden as well as on the plate! Tomatoes will benefit from feeding with Tom-A-Rite Tomato Liquid Food or Tui Tomato Food, staking and regular watering. You can sow your favourite seeds directly into the garden now such as pumpkin, courgettes, parsnip, radish and sweetcorn, and for continuous harvesting over the coming months sow at two to three weekly intervals. For a lush green lawn apply Palmers Lawn Fertiliser when rain is due or water it in with a sprinkler. And remember not to cut the lawn too short from now on, and keep up with weeding using Turfix for broad leaf weeds and Prickle Weedkiller to control Onehunga weed for a prickle free lawn all summer long. In the flower garden, plant your favourite summer flowering annual seedlings like lobelia, impatiens, phlox, petunias and portulaca, and place a decent layer of mulch – think compost or bark - around the base of your perennials, trees and shrubs to help conserve moisture during dry spells. All chrysanthemums and dahlias are good to plant now. It’s also the perfect time to add new season’s hibiscus plants for a real tropical flavour in your garden. You can’t beat the sunny cheer of a colourful hanging basket or terracotta pot, but be sure to invest in Tui Pot Power mix and Saturaid to help retain moisture as they dry out very quickly in the hot sun. Be sure to water all pots daily, preferably in the morning. Enjoy this month in your garden, from the team at Palmers Pakuranga.

hird quarter figures (July to September 2017) released this week by Barfoot & Thompson shows the average weekly rent for a property in Auckland has risen by 4.7 per cent to $542, from $520 during the same period in 2016. Barfoot & Thompson director Kiri Barfoot, who oversees the company’s property management division, says increasing costs for landlords and the increased risk of owning a rental property in 2017 are both major contributors to rent increases. “Across Auckland, rent has increased by a little under five per cent in the last year. “We are just coming out of winter, which is a maintenance-heavy period for rental properties – add to that uncertainty around rates increases, increased insurance costs due to the fire service levy and the incoming Earthquake Commission levy, compliance costs for smoke alarms and insulation, and you can understand the context of rent increases. “Many owners will be relieved at recent forecasts indicating that interest rates are likely to remain flat in the near future.” Average weekly rent in the Central Suburbs increased the most of any area, rising by 6.2 per cent from $550 in Q3 2016 to $584 in Q3 2017. Other areas with higher-than-average weekly rent increases included Eastern Suburbs, which rose by 5.5 per cent ($628 versus $596), and Rodney at 5.7 per cent ($538 versus $509). Areas with the smallest increases in average rent included Pakuranga/ Howick, (3.1 per cent; $576 versus $558) and Franklin/Manukau (3.3 per cent; $452 versus $435). “Demand for rentals in Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Mount Eden, all the old Auckland City suburbs west of the Southern Motorway, is strong. “The area boasts short commutes into the city, and the properties often have outdoor space, parking, and are close to shopping, dining and entertainment areas. At the same time, fewer new properties are being built because of high land costs when compared with other areas

Kiwis pack mighty punch F Agnew’s Angle

ing of Thomas Leuluai and Danny Levi from dummy half and the Kiwis forwards need fear no one at this world cup though the Kangaroos remain hot favourites. From a NZ point of view it is a shame the mighty Jason Taumalolo decided along with David Fusitu’a, Manu Ma’u, Solomone Kata and Konrad Hurrell to switch their allegiances to Tonga although I don’t agree with Kiwi captain Adam Blair it showed disrespect to the Kiwis jersey. Although born in Auckland, Taumalolo has the right to make his own choice under the current rules and Kiwi and All Black teams have benefitted hugely from the input of Pacific Island players in the past. Trying to contain the slick Australian backs remains the problem if the Kiwis are to create a major upset

by lifting the World Cup. However it was pleasing to see how well Kodi Nikorima slotted into standoff-half in the absence of the unavailable Kieran Foran. There is no shortage of strong running backs in this Kiwis side but Nikorima is one of the few skilful players with the draw and pass expertise to put team-mates through gaps. That’s a pity because it leaves penetrative fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck having to create his own chances although Dean Whare and Peta Hiku can also lay it on should either be named to replace luckless injured centre Gerald Beale. While scrum half Sean Johnson remains a fast and elusive runner, the ball distribution which makes Jonathan Thurston and Cooper Cronk so great is not his forte. With the Kiwis expected to comfortably account for Scotland on Saturday, their November 11 clash against a Tongan team that should include Taumalolo and former Kangaroo stars Andrew Fifita and Michael Jennings

will create huge spectator appeal. Meanwhile Canterbury’s ninth Mitre 10 Cup rugby premiership triumph in 10 years once more illustrates their dominance after beating Tasman 35-13 in last Saturday’s final. How fitting, too, that brilliant new All Black first-five Richie Mo’unga should score 25 to break Tom Taylor’s individual points scoring record for a final. To cap it off Mo’unga scored two grand tries, the second a 48m dazzler when he stepped and weaved his way through half the Tasman team. With the 23-year-old having joined Beauden Barrett, Lima Sopoaga and Damian McKenzie for the All Blacks’ northern tour, New Zealand remains well served for classy first-fives despite Aaron Cruden’s shift to France. Hopefully Mo’unga will make his debut this weekend against the Barbarians. ■ Ivan Agnew is an awardwinning sports writer and author

Triple A dominate Local athletes from Triple A Aerobics who represented the Gymsport Manukau region came away with a huge haul of medals at the recent National Aerobics championships. The club had a hugely successful competition winning 10 golds and three sections with 1st, 2nd and 3rd and winning the trophy for most medal placings. Not only has the club had success at Nationals but its senior international women’s NZ champ Laura Furse is soon heading to compete at two world events - the Plovdiv Cup in Bulgaria and the Hungarian Open. Her win as highest scoring athlete gained her selection for the Worlds competition in Portugal in June 2018. She also competed at the ANAC International Championships in Las Vegas this year and gained an impressive 5th. Her dedication and commitment have seen her gain higher and higher scores on the international stage, and she is just as dedicated to the athletes she coaches.

At the recent AIMS Games, all three top aerobics placings (BBI 1st, Somerville 2nd and Howick Int 3rd) were coached and choreographed by Triple A coaches and the club is not resting on its laurels, it is busy working hard preparing for the annual Santa Parade performance and end of year show. “As coaches, we are so very proud of every single gymnast,” said Amanda Bush, director, head coach and former NZ champ. “Their hard work, determination and positivity truly shone through on stage and every expectation was achieved.” Full results below: (ADP = Aerobic Development Pathway) AeroSchools Level 3 Individual: 2nd Holly Stephney, 5th Grace McCaffrey; AeroSchools Level 3 Pair: 1st Grace & Holly; Open Level 2 Individual: 1st Georgia Sole, 2nd Tiffany Ong; 3rd Kate Sole; 4th Camryn Delport; 6th Alicia Walmsley; 8th Greer Pedersen; 9th Kloe Brooke; 11th Cerys O’loughlin; Open Level 2 Pairs: 1st Georgia & Tiffany, 2nd Camryn & Kate, 3rd Greer & Cerys, 4th Kloe & Alicia; Open Level 3 Individual: 11th Caela Ackerman; ADP 2 Individual: 1st Mia Jones; ADP 3 Individual: 1st Georgia Taylor, 2nd Abbey Bolton, 4th Madison Taylor, 5th Ency Qiu, 10th Imogen Hatley-Owen, 11th Laiken Neaves, 18th Morgan Taylor, 19th Anna Maria Moehler, 21st Neela Patel; ADP 3 Pair: 1st Georgia & Madison; ADP 3 Group: 1st Mambo Mango, 2nd Spice Girls; ADP 4 Individual: 1st Anais Ross, 2nd Sarah Kennedy, 3rd Ella Ross, 6th Shannon Lunny, 11th Zara Codyre, 16th Abi Anderson; ADP 4 Pair: 1st Shannon & Ella, 3rd Anais & Sarah; ADP 4 Group: 1st Georgia, Anais & Sarah; ADP 5 Individual: 7th Kendra Neaves; Age Group 2 International Individual: 2nd: Kaylee Goodyer; Senior International Individual: 1st: Laura Furse 5th: Jennifer Groom; Senior International Trio:2nd: Laura, Jennifer & Kaylee.
