Otamatea Rugby Reunion

Life Members Pete Hargreaves and Adrian Reddy cut the cake.

Grassroots TV covered the day's play and held interviews with key club personalities. The day of rugby concluded with a
Gala Dinner and life memberships were awarded to Willie Phillips, Wuzz Phillips, Kim Phillips and John Keighley. A high-
light for the guests was the showing of the 1989 match when Otamatea won the First Division against Old Boys at Okara
Park.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed towards the weekend. Photos from the reunion can be viewed on our web-

site

www.kaiwakasports.co.nz. Cheryl, Mgr., KSA

The Otamatea Rugby Club marked a quarter century of play with a

reunion on the 19th and 20th April at the Kaiwaka Sports Complex.

Club president, Kevin Robinson, says the reunion was a great success,

with players, coaches, managers and committee members coming from

all over New Zealand to mark the 25th anniversary.

The club formed in 1988 after a merger between the Maungaturoto and

Eastern United clubs. Kaiwaka’s Russell Kemp, who had played for

both at various times and went on to coach for the new club, remembers

“a bit of debate” before the decision was made to unite. “They were two

strong sides, each with a lot of club pride, so some were for and some

against. But we got there in the end.”

First five and fullback for the first Otamatea premier team, Todd Mor-

gan, says the merger caused a bit of a shakeup in local rugby and the

new team struggled initially with a string of injuries and several players

out playing for North Auckland. “We took some hammerings in that first

round and got rubbished by the media, but the following year we came

second in the Premiership and in 1990 won Cock of the North.”

Seven rugby matches were played throughout the day for reunion guests

to enjoy. The huge crowd was reminiscent of the old days when the

Community used to congregate at the Sports Complex on a Saturday.

Just a follow up to the article

on the North Auckland

Mounted Rifles from last Bu-

gle. The

man sitting in the chair on the

front page is Lt Col James McCarroll,

for those of us who wondered.

Don’t forget Mother’s Day, second

Sunday in May (12th). See Gale Mathe-

son’s Avon advert, page 15, for gift ide-

as. But you have to be quick!

Flu Warning The influenza season is

heading to New Zealand and Dr. Peters

from the NZ College of Public Health

Medicine is warning people to get vac-

cinated as soon as possible. And she

warns the disease may arrive even earli-

er this year than usual, as happened in

the northern hemisphere.

Kaipara Citizens and Ratepayers News

19 April 2013 Council warns of massive legal costs, and may be forced to find $500,000 in

unbudgeted funds to for legal costs against the Mangawhai Residents and Ratepayers Asso-

ciation (MRRA) claims. This is surely grossly overstated unacceptable deceptive scare-

mongering, from a Council paying $240,000 to CEO McKerchar, up to $1,000,000 on the

last Annual Plan, which the commissioners now seek to replace with yet another basis for

rates, at further ratepayer cost. What too of the Proposed District Scheme first quoted at

under $500,000, now around $5,000,000, and $200,000 so far on validating Bill inputs?

Surely this pattern can only be stopped by the Courts or by withholding rates to stop such

waste? In March, the MRRA lodged judicial review proceedings against the Council. The

proceedings relate to the Mangawhai Community Wastewater Scheme, historical rating

issues and Council’s Development Contributions Policy. In a report to Commissioners to

be discussed at next week’s Council meeting (Tuesday 23 April) Chief Executive Steve

Ruru said Council’s legal costs could be as high as $500,000 based on the scope of the pro-

ceedings filed by the MRRA. Council has admitted many illegalities, so why should they

spend ratepayers money to defend what should have been rectified already? Commissioners

credibility and integrity becomes most questionable when they admit illegalities exist to the

extent they seek Parliament to legislate the illegal to become in effect legal, yet oppose the

ratepayers taking Court action to seek the required corrections legally.

Who do the Commissioners really represent? Perhaps they should be helping MRRA rather

than opposing? “We would hope it’s nothing like that but we have to be prepared. At the

moment, we simply don’t have that money unbudgeted so it will need to come from some-

where else or we will have to raise it.” This now seems just another group prepared to plun-

der ratepayers already limited incomes and has to be stopped. Commissioners should not be

able to raise $500,000 of ratepayers funds without ratepayers consent for unbudgeted ex-

penditure. Ratepayers must vote on this or the commissioners should be held liable and

shown the door! Chair of Commissioners John Robertson said he was hugely disappointed

that the MRRA had taken legal action when Commissioners, Council staff and many others

throughout Kaipara were doing all they could to move the District forward, not back. Is it

not time Commissioners supported ratepayers in correcting illegalities? krassn@gmail.com

The April meeting was held at Rosemary and Alvin

Browne's with a stunning view of the estuary and

Heads. Members were very impressed with their won-

derful terraced and sheltered garden.

Vice President Betty Atkin-Cooke welcomed a new

member Adrienne Osman. We all thought of Jean and

Noel enjoying beautiful Fiji, was it a Birthday trip we

wonder.

Birthdays for this month:

Jean, Rosemary Diane Alexander and Helen Shimmin.

It was noted that the sales table has been a bit sparse

lately, members are encouraged to bring cuttings, bulbs

and plants plus jam and relishes which can be priced at

home.

Rosemary offered to visit Mangawhai beach school as

they require help with planning their gardens. Does an-

yone out there have a worm farm they no longer want

for the school to see how one works.

Our little Club is growing in membership which is

great, but because we meet in private homes we are

thinking of limiting membership to 25 with a waiting

list.

We thank Mr Wayne Blissett for all the work he has

done for the school throughout recent years.

Our April meeting was the last one for Wayne, he is

not standing for BOT re-election. Wayne has served

on the Board for seven years and was chairman for five of these years. This has

been a truly generous effort and the school community is very grateful for the

huge contribution he has made.

WE NEED YOUR HELP:

We are having dreadful problems with the school grounds on Saturdays after rug-

by. Bottles and cans are strewn all around the school, cigarette butts and bottle

caps are everywhere, making mowing impossible. The rubbish had to be picked

up after last Saturday’s match and this filled 1/2 a wheelie bin. Sand was thrown

out of the sandpit and had to be blown away, so a lot was wasted. Flowers were

picked and a branch broken off the puriri tree. The danger tape was pulled off the

dangerous playground apparatus, and cars are parked across the neighbours drive-

way and the school entrance.

If you or your family/friends are around on a Saturday, please help by stopping

people who are damaging our school, making mess, ruining our beautiful

grounds, littering and being inconsiderate when they are parking. Please be really

proactive about protecting our school and our children by insisting that our

grounds are respected.

If you have any good ideas about a better way to manage this problem, please let

me know.

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

By the time you read this report, the latest Large Print and Au-

dio book swap will be done and dusted. Come on in and take a

look at the huge range of titles on these shelves - they're for all

library members to borrow. Many thanks for everyone who

helped out on the day.

We are looking for a new volunteer, as one of our team will

be retiring from the library soon to pursue other interests.

Would you like to join us? Are you available on the second

Wednesday of each month? You need to know how to use a

Windows computer, and have regular access to emails to keep

in touch. If you're interested, send an email to

kai-

waka.library@gmail.com

to introduce yourself and let me know

you'd like to join us. Full training will be given to the success-

ful applicant. If that day doesn't suit you but you're keen to be a

library volunteer, send an email anyway and I'll contact you

when there's a suitable vacancy.

Recently I've read Behind the sun by Deborah Challinor.

Meet Friday, Sarah, Rachel and Harriet. Four young women,

thrown together by their need to survive, form a friendship in

London's notorious Newgate Gaol. Life there is tough - life-

threateningly tough - and you need friends or money (or both)

to survive. In time the inmates of the gaol are put on a ship and

transported to New South Wales. The trip out is an endurance

in itself, having to face not only the perils of long ocean voyag-

es - including down into the Roaring Forties and freezing con-

ditions - but the threats posed by enemies made amongst the

other prisoners and travellers on the ship. At Sydney they're

transported to the Parramatta Female Factory, to wait for an

assignment out working for the settlers and former convicts in

the area. A new place to learn how to survive, quite different to

what they're used to. They're not happy about the prospect of

being split up, but make the most of what they have. I enjoyed

this book. The descriptions of life in those times and places

were very good, not pulling any punches about just how bad

they were. My only consternation was discovering this was not

a standalone novel as I'd thought when I began it, but the start

of a new series! The next book "Girl of Shadows" has not been

published yet, though there is a teaser for it at the end of this

book. This book is on the Rental Fiction shelves in the library.

A Tiny Bit Marvellous by Dawn French. This is the story of

the Battle family, a typical two-children family in a small Eng-

lish town. It's told from the viewpoint of the family members,

with a chapter coming from Mo, another from Peter, etc. Mo is

a child psychologist, but has no idea how to relate to her

own children. She feels grey, inside and out. Then one day

Noel, her new intern, tells her he's attracted to her, and

after getting over her initial horror, she finds herself com-

ing to life as she thinks about him. Dora is about to turn

18, and wants to be famous. She applies to get onto the

next series of a major tv talent quest program, planning to

sing a favourite song. She has an online friend, the only

person to know this secret, who offers to help her get

ready for the audition and so they arrange to meet for the

first time in a local park. Peter is younger than Dora, and

has a fixation on Oscar Wilde. He meets Noel and falls

instantly in love, devising a plan to work in his mother's

office so that he can be near Noel and be seen by him. He

notices a file with a familiar name on it, and opens it up to

read the contents... "Then there's Dad... who's just, well,

Dad. Oh, and there's a dog. Called Poo." (book cov-

er) This is an amusing book - as you'd expect from a suc-

cessful comedian - but with a dark undertone. A most en-

joyable read. This book is on the Rental Fiction shelves in

the library.

See you in the library!

MEMORIES OF YESTERYEAR

Two occasions in the past couple of weeks have jolted my memory of

how things were done many years ago. The first was the 50th anniversary of the

formation of the Kaiwaka Volunteer Fire Brigade, and it was great to remember

and tell many stories of how a group of us got together to get things moving. It

was a wonderful night and well presented. Something missed was at the start of

the Voluntary Fire Brigade we did not have a siren, and so at the first signal of a

fire the girls in the telephone exchange would give every fireman eight short

rings on his house phone. It can be well imagined how one girl giving those

short blasts on the phone in the middle of the night had a dozen near naked

young men running around their homes looking for suitable clothing in which to

fight a fire. Such was the community spirit shown by the girls in the exchange,

yet few now remember anything about our telephone system before it became

automatic. Mention was made of a big scrub fire at Mangawhai that in today’s

terms would have wiped out dozens of houses. As one who was there for several

hours, I then had to ask permission from the Chief; as did others, to be allowed

to return home to milk the cows, returning to the fire after the evening milking.

That fire had a front a couple of kilometres

long.

Another jolt to the memory was attending

the Anzac parade; something I have done

now for seventy years. I can remember

being taken along by my father in 1943, at

the age of three to attend the service always

held in St. Michael’s Church at Hakaru.

(See picture at right) As a three year old I

thought it pretty boring, and had no hesitation in saying so, so spent much time

outside alone, climbing the headstones in the graveyard. All the old fellows

marching was interesting, with no young men present as many were away

fighting. The Minister seeing many for the only attendance of the year in church

seemed to talk on and on, and of course I heard my first rendition of “Abide with

Me” which I now know off by heart, which is just as well as I usually forget to

take my glasses to the service. After the service at St. Michael’s, the men would

go to the Hakaru Hall for a cup of tea, which was served out of the boots of cars

in brown bottles, and so Anzac Day during World War II could take just as long

to celebrate as does the present ones. One thing I do remember is the lack of

female participation in the War years’ Anzac service. It was a very male only

occasion. With the Anzac memories of the War years also comes the memory of

going with Dad to the home guard practices, (see photos below) with the most

vivid memory of being locked in the car while live shooting took place. Training

took place at various locations,

and the ones I remember well

took place on our farm, Bill

Gouk’s farm, which was just

passed the Hakaru bridge on the

way to Mangawhai, and, of

course, the Mangawhai Hotel

paddock, which took all day, and

meant I drank many glasses of

raspberry and lemonade, and

could play on the wharf. On one

occasion near the end of the war I

was allowed to pull the trigger of a Lewis machine gun, and I couldn’t even brag

about it at school, as I hadn’t started school. Another memory of the war years

was the lack of cars on the road, as

there was a shortage of petrol, so

when one did see a car it was always

full of people, as pooling was im-

portant. Hard times don’t always

leave bad memories.
