KAIWAKA SCHOOL SPEECHES:

A FANTASY LIFE

How would YOU behave if your dad was Hollywood rubber-faced funnyman Jim Carrey?

Kaiwaka Primary School pupil Ryan Stirling

last week treated an audience of a hundred or

so fellow pupils, teachers, and a pride of mums,

dads and assorted relatives to his fantasy “What

if I were Jim Carrey‟s Son” to become overall

winner of the school‟s annual public speaking

contest.

Calling upon a truly Carreyesque array of

snorts, funny voices and facial expressions, the

Year 2 urchin left the audience in no doubt that

a life following in the steps of such a highly

improbable dad would be “sweet as”. The audi-

ence, possibly more captured by the comedy

than swayed by the force of Ryan‟s manic rhet-

oric, agreed equally enthusiastically.

Eighteen pupils – three each from Year 1 to

Year 6 – took part in the annual contest, held in

Kaiwaka Sports Association‟s pavilion. Full

results were:

Year 1 – Anahera Whakataka-Tutauhu; Year 2

– Ryan Stirling; Year 3 – Gareth Ferguson;

Year 4 – Tyla Stonex; Year 5 – Matthew Ever-

son; Year 6 – Raymond Taito; Overall winner –

Ryan Stirling.

WEATHER

Welcome to Spring folks.

What a beautiful way to end winter with a
partly cloudy sky and light winds and some
beautiful sun.

Our daffodils and spring flowers are still

blooming, as last year by this time they

had all finished. The ground around us

now is very wet and I notice the pad-

docks around are all sloppy and mud-

dy. The days are so much longer now,

however only 4 weeks until daylight

saving starts. Our kowhai and magnolia

were very slow to come into bloom this

year but have flowered well and now to

pick up the petals although they look

lovely under the tree until they die.

Our rain we recorded for August was

191mm compared to 193mm for August

2012. We had 18 out of 31 days with

showers or rain. For the first 8months

including August we had 830mm com-

pared to 994mm for 2012.

The wettest August since 1987 was

1989 with 318mm and the driest was

2011 with 54mm.

The wettest first 8mnths since 1987 was

1987 with 1373mm and the driest was

1994 with 612mm.

We have had a relatively mild winter

although you would not think so at

times. I hope for the animals sake they

have all finished having little ones and

yes their carers can get down to other

jobs and get in the warm a bit sooner in

the day. For everyone else out there

keep warm and take care. Regards, Bev

Large Print Books

Deb Hastie, treasurer and co-ordinator

of Northland Libraries Large Print

Books, recently purchased 106 new

large print books, spending a $4502 of a

Lottery Northland Community Funding

grant.

Northland Libraries Network Inc dis-

tributes these new books, and previous-

ly purchased books, between 10 North-

land libraries, Kaiwaka being the fur-

thest south and Mangonui the furthest

north.

Large Print book publishing in English

began in 1964 in Leicester, England

when Frederick Thorpe, a retired book

and magazine distributor, decided to

meet the needs of elderly poor-sighted

readers by reprinting older classic books

in editions with the type enlarged to

about twice the size of the original

printing.

Large print books and audio books are

swapped twice a year at Easter and in

October. Librarians and volunteers from

each of the 10 libraries meet in Keri

Keri (Easter) and Whangarei (October)

and swap the large print books and au-

dio books that have been on their

shelves for the past 6 months.

OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL

Assembly last week focussed on Ota-

matea High School being our place of

standing, belonging and connection.

The Māori concept of Tūrangawawae

was introduced; this concept is about

belonging to a place where we feel

empowered and connected. My vision

is that all members of Otamatea High

School experience this feeling of em-

powerment, belonging and connec-

tion. Students were also encouraged

to develop a sense of pride and ma-

na through taking responsibility. Partic-

ipating in inter-house competitions,

wearing uniform with pride and having

respectful interactions are all ways that

students can demonstrate a sense of

pride and mana. The Kapa Haka group

led the school in singing Anei Te Iwi O

Ngati Whatua. This waiata acknowl-

edges our place of belonging in the Kai-

para region.

Two very important developments are

due to start over the next couple of

weeks at the school. Firstly the SNUP

(School Network Upgrade) will see our

computer network upgraded to provide

us with access to ultra-fast broad-

band. This work begins today and is set

to be completed by the

beginning of Term

Four. The second de-

velopment is the build-

ing project which is set

to start on Monday

September 2nd, starting

with the upgrade to A

Block.

Rachel

Clothier-

Simmonds, Principal

JOHN BRUCE

Otamatea High School and John Bruce

cordially invite the wider school com-

munity to a celebration of 27 ½ years of

teaching service at Otamatea High

School.

Especially welcome are past teaching

staff, past Board of Trustees members,

past students and parents of past and

present students taught by John Bruce.

A separate address will be given to pre-

sent day students at assembly

on Monday 9th September.

It would be lovely to see past members

of sports teams coached by John Bruce.

FITNESS

It‟s been a very busy time

for me over the last few

weeks, getting ready to compete at Tau-

po with up to 3 hours of exercise a day

plus work.

I finally got there last weekend and did

better than I thought by winning Over

50yrs,Open and the Overall champ for

bodybuilding, absolutely stoked that all

my hard work paid off, so I have a bit of

down time this week then back into it to

compete at NZIFFB in Hamilton on the

21st then onto Nationals.

We had a really good weekend catching

up with Lisa Cameron-a bonus. She has

not changed one bit. She had 8 girls in

the show so was running around after

them. It was an extremely long day

starting with registration at 9am,then

briefing at 12, show started at 2pm,we

finally finished at 10.30pm just in time

to catch burger fuel before it closed- so

have been stuffed all week.

People always say to me that it is easy

for me because I am so disciplined but

it‟s just as hard for me as anyone else,

the only thing that keeps me going is

that I have to wear that bikini which

hides nothing and the fact I don't want

to get up on stage with wobbly bits, so I

say to you, you need to focus on a goal

and the results will follow with hard

work.

Membership at the gym continues to

grow with a few new people this year -

Welcome and enjoy.

results will come, Jules

DANIELLE HAWKINS

If you watched

„Country Calen-

dar” on the 17th

August you may

have recognised

the couple fea-

tured in this pro-

gramme.

Danielle

Haw-

kins nee Cowan, came to Mangawhai

Vet Services after qualifying as a vet

(with Hons no less), and worked around

the Mangawhai – Kaiwaka area, particu-

larly enjoying the large animal part of

the job although she did miss sheep hav-

ing come from a sheep farm in Oto-

rohanga.

When the Otamatea Veterinary Club

took over the practice Danielle contin-

ued „vetting‟ in this district where she

met her husband, Jarrod Hawkins, past

pupil at Rodney College and very much

a dairy farmer, son of one too from Sil-

verhill. Shortly after they married the

decision was made to depart south to

Danielle‟s family farm which was a

steep learning curve for Jarrod as it is a

sheep farm.

The „Country Calendar‟ programme

focused on that farm, where 4 genera-

tions live now, with their various in-

volvements, family, conservation pro-

jects, managing drought, part time vet

and mother and also a published author

of one novel with a second due out later

this year.

Paddy and Murphy were building a
fence. Paddy looks at each nail carefully

before hammering it in but throws half

the nails away. Murphy asks, ‘Paddy why
are you throwing those nails away?’

Paddy says, ‘They have the head on the

wrong side.’ Murphy exclaims, ‘Paddy

you idiot, those are for the other side
of the fence.’

FAMILY HISTORY

Waipu Informal

Genealogy

Group held a

very successful

contribution to

Family History

Month in Waipu

on the 26

Au-

gust. Professor

Angela McCar-

thy from Otago

University was

guest speaker –

her topic being the emigration and set-

tlement of Irish and Scots around the

world. Angela introduced herself to

the large audience by explaining her

interest and ancestry in Celtic migra-

tion. She herself is a descendant of the

early settlers at Whangarei Heads.

Interesting aspects of Angela‟s talk were

the reasons for migration and the im-

pressions that migrants left in the foot-

steps of history. The Scots were

deemed to be more industrious and edu-

cated, with a desire to get on and be self

sufficient, not so with the Irish mi-

grants. Also interesting, was the men-

tion of the emphasis put on the Irish

famine. Ireland lost around one quarter

of its entire population during the fam-

ine and with a total population of just

over eight million, the impact on fami-

lies, commerce and the country in gen-

eral was devastating. In comparison

with some African countries with much

larger populations, famine deaths

reached

between

200,000

and

400,000. That seemed to put the Irish

famine in perspective.

Also interesting was an example of the

records available for some migrants in

mental institutions. These provided an

enormous amount of detail of the indi-

viduals concerned. Not all of the rec-

ords from our mental institutions have

been archived, but for those interested,

National Archives should be able to of-

fer some advice.

A very interesting morning concluded

with lunch and general chat.

NIGHT SKY
OVER THE
LITTLE TOWN
OF LIGHTS

The main part of the Milky Way (Ara

Matua/Te Waka o Maui) will be over-

head as the sun sets, and in Kaiwaka

away from the street lights this will be

easy to see. If you look to the southwest

it will be easy to see Alpha Centauri and

Beta Centauri, known as the two

“Pointer Stars”. (Te taura o te waka o

Tama-rereti) Drawing a line through

them will lead to the Southern Cross,

also known as the Crux (Taki-o-Autahi)

Towards the east, Capricornus (the sea

goat) will be rising, following Sagittari-

ous. Capricornus is a faint constellation,

however there are three relatively bright

stars which mark out a triangle, which

help to identify it from its surroundings.

Throughout September, Scorpious will

be setting earlier each day. It dips into

the western horizon head first. It was

said by some Maori to be the fish hook

that the demigod Maui used to fish up

Te Ika a Maui, which is now known at

the North Island.

Please let me know if I have any of the
Maori names wrong, I am always keen to
learn.

OUR PRECIOUS

JOINTS.

Another example of a common

complaint in my practise is

osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is

defined as a degenerative con-

dition where the articular carti-

lage in the joint is eroding.

Without going deep into it‟s

chemical composition, articu-

lar cartilage is made up of an

amorphous gel-like substance

riddled with predominantly proteogly-

cans (a protein that gives elasticity to

the cartilage) and is interwoven with

collagen fibres. Osteoarthritis is diag-

nosed when the collagen fibres are start-

ing to break down making the cartilage

thinner and reducing the space between

the joint surfaces. If the breakdown con-

tinues then the bone right under the car-

tilage becomes exposed. The conse-

quently bone on bone contact polishes

the surfaces resulting in the develop-

ment of micro fractures and cysts, right

below the surfaces weakening the bone.

As an attempt to deal with the loss of

the articulation between the bones, bony

outgrowths starts to occur at the margins

of the joint called bone spurs. Bone

spurs can significantly change the shape

of the joint.

Articular cartilage does not have it‟s

own blood supply and as a result of this

the cartilage does not heal well after it

has been damaged. Next to having no

blood vessels it also has no nerves. For

that reason the articular cartilage does

not register pain but the bone immedi-

ately under the cartilage, on the other

hand, is pain sensitive. That is why the

early stages of osteoarthritis does not

necessarily result in pain or incapacita-

tion.

As with many conditions, osteoarthritis

has a list of possible causes. Examples

are injury, overuse, lifestyle choices

creating chemical imbalances in the

body, genetic predisposition and so

on. One major contributing factor is the

exposure of the joint to repeated stress

which exacerbate the breakdown of the

collagen fibres. Chronically tight mus-

cles pulling continually on their bony

attachments, creating an excessive phys-

ical stress on the joints, can augment the

advancement of the arthritic changes in

the joint.

Whether the condition is in its early

phase or in the later stage, in both cases

bodywork will be beneficial. However

as the arthritis is progressing into the

later stages, then we are dealing with a

chronic condition requiring ongoing

treatment to manage it.

Both the disciplines (shiatsu / therapeu-

tic massage) I practise, offers each spe-

cific techniques to address osteoarthri-

tis.

The treatment could focus on treating

the imbalances of the muscles around

the joint.

Or on freeing any obstruction

of the

Qi in the joint. Or on using joint

play techniques to encourage the circu-

lation of the synovial fluid in the joint

capsule. Synovial fluid contains the nu-

trients which the cartilage cells feed up-

on.

The label osteoarthritis caries a heavy

load of finality but within the different

stages of the arthritic changes, shiatsu or

therapeutic massage can assist in help-

ing the joint.

THE KELLY HEREWINI TROPHY

Kelly Herewini, who presented the trophy noted in the last

Bugle, was „very polite, „a lovely man‟, „a caring and kind

man‟ - were some of the brilliant number of responses re-

ceived for the reason behind the trophy.

1952 was the year the Kaiwaka War Memorial and Com-

munity Centre was opened (the name was shortened to the

KCC at the time) and there were two theories as to what

sport the cup was presented for 1. Indoor bowls and 2. Flag

500 card game.

It seems that the folk named on the trophy - A.REDDY twice (which could be An-

drew or his wife Alice), F.WRIGHT (Fred) and A McCLEAN (Archie) were all

keen on the winter evening social events at this time, especially indoor bowls and

cards, including Kelly. Descendants, and the majority of friends, who knew these

recipients are fairly certain that the trophy was for Flag 500.

Flag 500 was played by 4 players and the winner won a small paper flag. One

player then to moved to the next table. The highest number of flags held gave the

evening‟s winner, and a record was kept to find the season‟s winner.

Kelly Herewini was born in Te Hapua in 1912 and remained a bachelor all his life.

About 1950, after a life of droving on Ninety Mile Beach, he biked (push bike)

south to find another job. The story goes that it was very hot when he reached Kai-

waka and was pushing his bicycle up the hill passed the end of Settlement Road

where Romaine Dowson was making hay (yes, it was paddock in the area around

Mark and Pam Ottaway‟s house!). Romaine called out „Do you want a job?‟ Kelly

began his farming career in Kaiwaka. Kelly milked cows, fenced, grubbed gorse

and thistles, continued making hay-he was always ready to lend a hand. Over the

time he worked for a number of local farmers- the Buckles, the Mills family, the

Dowsons, the Wrights. He always rode a bike-later in life he bought a small mo-

torbike.

Kelly died at the age of 74 and is buried in the Kaiwaka Cemetery.

His trophy will be displayed in the Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall.

“It‟s Not OK” project

for Wellsford

Making the Wellsford area a safer place

is the aim of a new “It‟s not Ok” project

focused on reducing family violence in

the greater Wellsford area. Anyone who

supports this aim is being invited to a

Public Meeting to be held at the Wells-

ford Community Centre from 6pm on

Tuesday September the 17

“We are inviting every person in our

community to get involved and support

making this a safer place, especially for

women and children” says Judy Kenne-

dy of Te Ha Oranga.

“We want to make sure everyone in our

community knows where they can get

help to stop abuse and where they can

get help to be safe. There are lots of

things we can all do to change what‟s

happening. The research is really clear

that family violence hurts children, ruins

relationships and only makes problems

worse for families. We also want to

spread the message that “it‟s ok to ask

for help”. There are local groups who

really can help find ways to change

things and the whole community can all

play a role in making sure people get the

help they need” says Mandi Gregory of

Te Rito Rodney family violence preven-

tion initiative.

The project aims to get wide involve-

ment from all parts of the community to

support the “It‟s not OK” message. Invi-

tations are going out to local businesses,

Marae, sports clubs, churches, play cen-

tres, schools, community organisations

and individuals to come and hear about

the project and join in supporting it.

“We all ready have about 15 different

local organisations involved in launch-

ing the project. But we want to spread

that a lot wider. Family violence hap-

pens right across our society and that‟s

why we want involvement from every-

one who wants to be part of making our

community safer” says Quentin Jukes of

Homebuilders Family Services

For more information about the meeting

or the project please contact: Judy Ken-

nedy on 423 8538 or Quentin Jukes on

I‟m an „anyone‟. Who hasn‟t asked:

“why doesn‟t someone (anyone) do

something about this/that?” This time,

instead of asking, I‟m taking up the

challenge of trying to find answers.

The local gov-

ernment

elec-

tions will be dif-

ferent this time

in Kaipara as

there will be no

District Council

elections, so the

level of interest

and media cov-

erage will be

less. But we will

still have both Regional Council and

District Health Board elections, and it is

important that we vote in these elections

to ensure we have the right people rep-

resenting us on these Northland wide

organisations.

Libby Jones from Paparoa (photo

above) is standing again for the board of

Northland District Health Board and

encourages all voters to complete and

return their voting papers by 12 Octo-

ber, which will be posted out from 20

September. Voters can check out

www.vote.co.nz as this is where candi-

dates can provide information about

themselves and why they are standing.

For voters wanting to know more about

Libby and what has been achieved over

the last three year term they can visit

land District Health Board, or contact

VOTING IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS

LOCAL GOVERNMENT
COMMISION

The Chair of the

Local Government

Commission, Basil

Morrison

(photo)

and commissioner,

Anne Carter met

with locals in the

Maungaturoto Cen-

tennial Hall on 20

August.

The Local Govern-

ment Commission is

considering the

change of structure

to the northern councils-Far North, Whan-

garei and Kaipara District Councils and

the Northland Regional Council.

The Far North District Council made the

first application for change to local gov-

ernment in their area. The Commission

has since received forty-one responses.

Further information on the structure reor-

ganisation can be seen on the local gov-

ernment website www.lgc.govt.nz then

open Far North District Council: Reor-

ganisation.

The draft proposal for the community to

view, and submit submissions, will be

available by December.

The Northland Regional Council has a

arranged panel led by former Prime Min-

ister Sir Geoffrey Palmer for a public

meeting in Kerikeri on Monday 23 Sep-

tember at 7pm in the Turner Centre.

Under the regional council‟s alternative

proposal, local boards could be supported

by a single regional body, made up of nine

councillors (elected from seven wards)

and a single mayor, elected from across

the entire region. www.nrc.govt.nz
