My wife Cherie and I have lived in Henderson Massey for 23 years, raising our four Kiwi-Indian kids. Talking to locals and business owners, I know that safety is a key concern.

I will ensure more funding is allocated to local safety initiatives.

I am campaigning to protect our green spaces, including planting more trees, cleaning up shared spaces and stopping the sell-off of our parks.

We urgently need to prepare for more people in our area which means upgrading Waitakere Hospital and building new community facilities like a swimming pool complex in Massey. My career is in management and finance and my passion is serving the community.

I have been involved with local organisations for over 25 years including being the current President of Waitakere Indian Association, panel member for Te Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund for Sport Waitakere, the Community Organisation Grants Scheme, Community Patrol and Neighbourhood Support Waitakere and as a community board member on various other organisations.

I want Henderson Massey to thrive.

Vote Sunil Kaushal – vocal for local.

Kia ora Tāmaki Makaurau. Saturday is International Observe the Moon Night and to mark the occasion, a historic telescope used during some of the first human missions to the moon will be open to the public at Auckland's Stardome Observatory and Planetarium (670 Manukau Road, Epsom).

The EWB Zeiss telescope was used to manually track Apollo missions when Houston didn't have radio contact with its spacecraft and astronauts.

The public are invited to use the telescope to view the moon on Saturday until 10.30pm at the stardome at 670 Manukau Road, Epsom.

“It will be five days after the new moon, so looking up from the Southern Hemisphere, we will easily be able locate the various maria, or seas, on the eastern half of the near-side of the moon. These are the Sea of Serenity, Sea of Tranquillity, Sea of Crises, Sea of Fecundity, and Sea of Nectar,” Stardome telescope operator Daley Panthagani said.

Entry costs $2 per adult and $1 per child. The Stardome will also be putting on educational shows about the moon for additional fees. For more info visit www.stardome.org.nz...

UWEN are lucky to have Dr. Wesley Webb as our second Hui speaker...
Animals use sounds for fighting, flirting, group coordination, signalling identity, scaring off predators and more. Some species develop their sounds automatically. Others (like humans and songbirds) must learn by listening and imitating—which leads to the interesting phenomenon of dialects. Dr Wesley Webb will take us on a tour of the astonishing diversity of acoustic communication in animals, including many native NZ taonga. He will also reveal some surprises about male and female song dialects in New Zealand bellbirds, the topic of his PhD. Brace yourself for weird and wonderful animal sounds!

Six of our NZQA Diploma Cookery students signed up for the New Zealand Hospitality Championships – previously known as the Culinary Fare run by the New Zealand Chefs Association at the recent Hospitality Hui held on on September 19, 2022.

Planning took place over the previous six weeks where the students formulated their dish concepts. Practical cooking sessions enabled them to test and try out their culinary ideas and refine their dishes.

These efforts were boosted by the reflections of our Head Chef Finn Gybel and his stories of when he had competed in Denmark nearly 20 years ago. Back then, our Chef Finn was sous chef to René Redzepi, now rated as one of the great chefs of the world.

As a result, we won 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze medals.

Why should you vote in the local body elections?

Based on the low voter turnouts most people don’t care much about local government elections but these elections have more to do with people’s everyday lives than central government elections. They cover our footpaths, local roads and parks which you interact with more on a daily basis.

I can understand peoples lack of interest. It is time consuming to find out information on candidates and some people find the complexity of all the roles and votes too much. It’s not like central government where information is in the news daily. Due to these difficulties, most voters resort to voting based on the political “colours’ they know, old names they recognize or not voting at all.

Hopefully people take the time to find out about the candidates, where they live, how long they have lived there and what they actually stand for.

Good sites to check out about candidates are their Facebook pages or:

www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

Or

policy.nz...

This website covers understanding how council works :

www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

Voting is open until Saturday October 8th midday. Free postal votes need to be sent by next Monday October 3rd or you can drop them off at dropped off at libraries, some train stations, Countdown supermarkets or council service centres. If you haven’t received your voting papers you can call 0800 367656.
