KAIWAKA SQUASH CLUB

OFFICIAL OPENING

of April, 11am

The Kaiwaka Squash Club

is proud to show off the

renovated and up-dated premises at the
Kaiwaka Sports Association (next to the
tennis courts) with an OFFICIAL
OPENING on SUNDAY, 7

APRIL 2013 from 11am!!

Bring some non-marking shoes, we can

provide rackets and balls and have a go!

Great for all ages and skill levels, great

family sport, great fun for everybody!

Just come, have a look and a try and

a sausage from the sausage sizzle!

RATES ARE INCREASING YET AGAIN!

I attended the public meeting on Monday 25 March held by the appointed (not

elected) Commissioners for the Kaipara District Council. I have never sat through

such a condescending and patronising event in my life! It started with Mr. Colin

Dale suggesting we ―all move up closer so as to make a more cosy atmosphere‖. I

felt like I was back in kindergarten. Unfortunately there was not a big turnout of

locals

and it was almost a case of too many Chiefs and not enough Indians.

Basically the information I gleaned is KDC is close to $80 million in debt and they

plan to reduce this debt by $30 million by 2022, with break-even budgets. Of

course the community, and it seems Kaiwaka‘s community, more so than others,

have been hit hardest with first 34-48% increase in rates a few months ago to be

followed by another 9.3%! According to the Council, the average of the previous

rate hike was 20%. One wonders, as a gentleman did ask, who ended up paying no

increase in order to get that average. And as our REAL rate increase was 34-48%

I asked the question if, in fact, the 9.3% is also an average and should the Kaiwaka

community add 14-28% onto the planned 9.3%? I got no satisfactory answer. We

know the Mangawhai Wasterwater Scheme is way over budget. Mangawhai resi-

dents will pay $35.6 million and another 18.4 million is to be spread across the

Kaipara District.

The Reviewing Plan we were subjected to via a power point presentation raised

more questions than solutions. By 2015, when there will be an election for Coun-

cil, these Commissioners think they will have rebuilt the trust we should have in

Council; shown accountability and transparency; and simplified the rating base.

Our rates will be in four instalments (currently six); Fees and charges are going up

3.1%. If your property is over 2 hectares you will be expected to pay 155% of a

targeted rate; as opposed to residential and smaller properties only paying 100%!

At the meeting, they told us we had until 13 May 2013 to get submissions in to

Council. But on the KDC website the deadline for submissions is 4pm 19 APRIL

2013. Hearings will be held 14-16 May 2013. The final Long Term Plan document

will be in force 15 June 2013. For more info see www.kaipara.govt.nz AJ

COUNCIL QUITS KAIWAKA

THEN at the very end of the meeting, a Commissioner announced that ―because

the new landlord was asking too much rent for their current premises, the Council

offices are moving to Mangawhai; because nothing happens in Kaiwaka; every-

thing happens in Mangawhai‖! At that point Ilia Petro, the new landlord, got up to

speak. Lo and behold, we find out that the Council never even negotiated with

him over the new terms. Ilia was quite prepared to put the difference of new rent

vs. old rent back into the community. The rent he was asking was based on an

evaluation that the Council asked him to have done as they refused to pay for one.

As mentioned in the last Bugle, Ilia and Eva Petro have done a lot for our commu-

nity and are definitely going the extra mile for us. The Council on the other

hand…not so much! It just proved to me and, I‘m sure, anyone else sitting there

listening to these jokers, that they are indeed experts in pulling the wool over our

eyes. Some of us may be sheep farmers but we are not sheep-like. A deal had

already been struck with The Hub, 6 Molesworth Drive, Mangawhai (see photo

left) to lease their top floor to the Council at a very appealing rate. Perhaps a con-

flict of interest in that deal? Property developer/Council: consents, permits…no

worries. Are we sure The Hub is user friendly? Wheelchair access? Why are these

boys spending more money that we don‘t have? Nothing changes: Commissioners

and Council treat us like mushrooms, ie: keep us in the dark and feed us on sheep

dodo. Haven‘t we had enough of that from the previous council? Ann J.

would like to thank our Life

Members, Gold Star Members, and members of the public
who attended the Honours Night March 23rd.  It was an un-
forgettable night.  Thanks to our generous local businesses
and sponsors the night went off with the biggest bang the
KCC has seen in a while.  Great raffles, great music.  Thanks
to Playcentre Mums for arranging supper and dishes; Mark &
Pam for the savouries & sweets and Maungaturoto Fire Bri-
gade Members for taking care of refreshments leaving us free
to mingle, drink and dance.  A big thank you Leabourns for
the free shuttle.
What an honour to see three fine people awarded Gold Stars
for 25 years service to the NZ Fire Service; Rob Leslie,
Norm Brown and Graham Dakin who is a paid fire support
officer but wished to join us and share his honour.  It was
especially nice to have their family members there and
acknowledged for the roles they play and sacrifices they
make to keep us all safer.
Other awards were given: 3 year certificates to Dave Kearton
and Mike Law. Two year bars to John Bowmar making a
total of 35 years service, Peter Fleming making 23 (2 more
years till next big party), Adrian Buxton making 19 and
Kraig Steiner making 15 years-all great achievements. The
Angela Gallie Trophy for dedication went to Mickey Renton;
the Stirrers Trophy went to Rob Leslie (payback hehe)
See above for Open Day Sat 6 April. See you there FLICK

rubbish and for the weed eating she has done. What a differ-

ence it makes to the place! We really appreciate what you are

doing. With immense thanks, Hannah

Stop slugs in their slime

Forget about slug bait let me introduce…beer bait!

Simply, cut the top off an empty fizzy drink bottle, leaving approximately 10cm of

plastic from the lid. Make sure the lid is tightly screwed on.

Make a hole next to your vegetables large enough for the whole bottle neck to fit

into. The open end of your plastic bottle should sit almost parallel with the soil.

Place three sticks approximately 15cm in height around your plastic bottle in the

shape of a teepee.

Fill your bottle up to the halfway mark with beer (slugs aren’t fussy about the

type of beer, but kids make sure you ask your parents first!).

To ensure that the beer is protected from rain, take the discarded end of your

plastic fizzy drink bottle and cut off a section approximately 5cm from the end.

Balance this section on the three sticks you staked earlier. This will create a lid

to protect the beer against rain.

Now all you have to do is sit back and wait. Overnight the slugs will slide their

way into the beer. And don’t just stop with one beer bait bottle, make several

and place them around your slug susceptible veges. Believe me you’ll be

amazed by the results.

Donna is a Registered Classical Homeopath. Since 1987, she has trained and gathered experience in many differing therapies, to offer
you the very best options in Natural Health Care and to offer you alternative options to medication.

Homeopathy works by stimulating your body's natural healing abilities; therefore, it is gentle and safe to use at any stage of life -
during pregnancy, for babies, toddlers, teens, through to adulthood and the elderly.

Homeopathy treats you as a unique individual and recognises that all illness has an impact on the mind as well as the body. The

focus of homeopathy is on restoring health, rather than merely treating symptoms in isolation.

There are many thousand remedies to choose from that may best fit your symptoms. However, just ONE remedy will have a most

significant impact, elicit deeper healing and positively affect your entire being.
It is a little like the widespread ripple effecting the whole pond after dropping just one tiny pebble into it.

Past Life Regression Therapy journeys into your past through meditation. The positive aspects of our past lives, the skills, wisdom,
and soul growth have all been smoothly integrated into who we are now. We use these achievements without thinking.
     It is the unfinished business, or wounds that still fester, causing us problems that can often seem unrelated or out of proportion to
issues within this life. It is as if part of us has become stuck in the past and is still reliving that experience.

Past Life Regression can help you to work through unexplained fears, anxieties, pain, illness and susceptibilities, the things that can
fester and still cause you problems, as well as to enhance positive gifts or interests.
It reconnects us, enabling a release of frozen emotions and stuck beliefs and completes any unfinished business, effectively  integrating
back into the whole where health is restored.

‘Essences of D’Light’ Vibrational Essences work a little  like  your own personalised Rescue Remedy and are selected to  suit your
unique situation. Your Essence powerfully yet gently supports you through your life challenge, healing and/or awareness process.

Donna is a leader in ‘Self-Development and Self-Empowerment’. She has an amazing ability of finding the cause behind your prob-
lems and helps to bring an awareness as to why they exist.
     Together, these Insights, along with Homeopathic Remedies and Vibrational Essences, assist to facilitate healing and transformation
on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual: on the whole being, hence the terms ‗Holistic Healing‘, and ‗Life Awareness
and Life Balancing‘.

You know how great you feel when you have health... you feel empowered, your life is filled with love, joy, health and creativity –

everything is flowing and in balance...

like you have got it ALL together.

First Year celebration for Mangawhai Trampers

The Mangawhai Trampers are about to celebrate the completion of their first

year as a group. The group was formed following last year’s Mangawhai Walk-

ing Weekend by those who had enjoyed the weekend and now has about 60

members. The group meets on the third Sunday of each month to undertake a

tramp. Each tramp has a leader and the average walking time (including enjoy-

able stops for morning tea and lunch etc) is four hours. The group walks at a

leisurely pace and starts each tramp at 10.00am. The tramp undertaken in

March by 11 members was in the McKenzie Limestone Hill Scenic Reserve

through regenerating bush where remnants of the kauri mill machinery can still

be seen.

The next walk will be a mostly coastal walk in Leigh on 21

April and then the

walk to celebrate the first birthday of the formation of the group will be a local

one, over Richard Henry’s farm at Tara, on Sunday 19

May ( part open farm-

land, part bush and including a Maori Pa and archaeological sites).

New members are welcome (there are no joining fees) and the group car pools

wherever possible. Anyone who is interested in joining the group can contact

Dawn Browne (09 431 5926 or Jan Jacob (09 431 5157) for more information.
