I would like to acknowledge Sir John and his true commitment to the betterment of Manurewa in his years of service in local government for both Manukau and Auckland Councils and for the legacy he has left through his running career and his charity Find Your Field of Dreams. Sir John is loyal to Manurewa. He is proud to say he is from Manurewa, and that gives us all pride. So humble in his achievements, he often says he hopes young people will look at his success in running and say “if he can do so can I”. Sir John has always believed in our young people. He has a drive to provide a better environment and create better opportunities, a lifetime of opportunities and choices for youth through sport. His motivation for founding Find Your Field of Dreams, was for youth, to promote character development, life-enhancing values, good health and community cohesion. Daring young people to pursue their dreams and maximising their potential for positive, fulfilling lives. That is a true legacy. Thank you, Sir John, for all you have given to us, our community and the greater Auckland region through your years of loyal service. On behalf of the Manurewa board, we wish you well for your retirement and may you spend more precious moments with Lady Walker, your children and grandchildren. |

Chair Dalton made the following statement on behalf of the board:
Stella I would like to acknowledge your significant contribution to the Manurewa Local Board, the Manurewa Community and the wider Manukau area in your role as an elected member of this board and in your former roles at Manukau City and Auckland Council. You are a very special person, Stella. You are one of the hardest-working people I have worked alongside in local government. I have truly appreciated your directness, your truth, your empathy, your ability to say sorry and most of all your friendship and personal support of me through the good times and the bad. I have learnt from you the value of silence and the importance of speaking up. The Citizens Advice Bureau have told me on more than one occasion that you have been the most present and effective representative they have had from this local board, that was reiterated in their AGM report. Neil Punja, our town centre manager, has echoed their sentiments, and has taken it a step further in looking to appoint you to the Clendon Business Association as your input is so valuable, your attendance so dependable and your motivation being for the right reasons: our community. I thank you for stepping into the role of deputy chair so Rangi could pursue his commitments in Maoridom. You have been a loyal right-hand woman for me. Stella, during this term you have experienced what would have been one of the hardest years of your life with losing Ted, and that probably took its toll when your exciting holiday with Pam didn’t quite work out as planned. But look at you, as beautiful and resilient as pre-annus horribilis. Although you were keen to stay and do another term your wisdom kicked in and said, it’s time for you, and for your family to have more of you. On behalf of the board I thank you for all you have contributed to making Manurewa a better place to live, work and play. I hope that you do stay involved with us as much as you would like to, although I know you, will be onto bigger and better things. Here is a gift from us to memento your retirement from local government. |

Deputy Chair S Cattle made the following statement on behalf of the board:
Madam Chair, I would like to acknowledge your contribution to this board. Angela, this is not just about me, it’s also about you. You have been connected to the Manurewa Local Board for a long time, firstly as a community board member, then as shared chair with Daniel, and then chair. For us, three years ago, there was no doubt as to whom we wished to lead us. You have been a wonderful chair for this board. You have helped and guided us through many things. Your knowledge is amazing, your questioning appropriate, and your dignity and ethics make you one of the most amazing women I have met. You have met many challenges with calmness. You respected each of us for our diversity and our quirkiness and passions. You have built up strong relationships with our community, clubs, mana whenua, the Governing Body and so much more. You have had your challenges and hardships. Being a leader is hard because everyone thinks you know everything and can also take the criticism without being hurt. I know this is not true. But, once more, your dignity has got you through. Angela, we all want you to be elected to the Governing Body. I think you will romp in, but we shouldn’t take anything for granted, and I know you are not doing that. But once you get there, you will continue to do what you have done here: listen, question, respect, discuss, and not be afraid to stand out. You will be an advocate for this community. If you achieve half of what you have done here, this community will be so much better off. |
