Shave for

a Cure

Saturday

22nd

March,  nearly  30  people
gathered  at  the  Kaiwaka
Sports  Complex  to  shave
their  heads  to  support  a
worthy  cause  –  the  Leu-
kaemia  &  Blood  Cancer
Foundation.
What a wonderful  night  -
lots of extra people showed up to lose their locks  (age ranged from Brooklyn Ottaway, 7, to Philip Whiting, 80)and the
people who came to support the shavees were very generous with their donations! A few tears were shed with the emotion
of the evening as people remembered their loved ones who had suffered with cancer.
The Kaiwaka Kina's raised $4,000 online prior to the fundraiser and another $2,300 was collected on the night.
Shavees above, from left: Pat Buxton, Trevor Linnell, Sara McAulay and Corina Ross
One  of  the  highlights  of  the  evening  was  when  the  Leefe  family  from  Whangarei  turned  up.  They  had  heard  about  the
Kaiwaka Kina's fundraiser on Facebook and had spent several weeks collecting donations from family, friends and neigh-
bours. They brought along a shoebox with over $1,000 in it!
Daniel  Alcock  (photo  below  right)  from  Maungaturoto  decided  he  would  wax  his  back  in  support  of  the  fundraiser.  He
raised over $800 in sponsorship, which just goes to show he obviously has a lot of friends who wanted to see him in pain!
Kaiwaka  businesses  donated  items  for  a silent  auction,  which  was  won  by  Lindsey  Hargreaves,  and  the  door  prize  was
won by Dawn Haywood.
We are very grateful to the many people who made this fundraiser such a success:
  * Our four hairdressers: Sean Burnett, Mary-ann Scott, Caz Blundell & Megan Roberts
  * Kaiwaka Playcentre for donating the proceeds from their sausage sizzle
  * Nicole Stonex from U Beauty for donating her 'back waxing' expertise
  * The Kaiwaka Fire Brigade for taking donations and helping shave
  * Tony Hargreaves, emcee
  * Our sponsors: The Kaiwaka Salon, Cafe Bianca, Selena's Gifts, Kaiwaka Suzuki,  Caz's  Cutz,  Kaiwaka  St  Johns,  The
Kaiwaka Cheese Shop, Jaques Four Square, Buy the Way and U Beauty
  * Pat Buxton who came up with the idea of this fundraiser

KAIWAKA SCHOOL

Last week our senior school students went to Marsden Bay Christian Camp for
their annual school camp experience. 60 students, from Years 3-6, left first thing
Wednesday morning for a few days of kayaking, rock climbing, spotlight, water
sliding,  orienteering  and  being  away
from  home  and  family.  They  visited
the  Oil  Refinery  on  the  way  back  to
school  on  Friday.  They  were  all  very
excited  and  enjoyed  new  challenges
with their school mates.
We  thank  their  teachers  Sharlene
Tornquist, Anna Elworthy and
Larissa  Bonham,  as  well  as  a  lot  of
willing  parents  who  accompanied
them, for making this excellent learn-
ing  opportunity  available  to  our  stu-
dents.

The  weeks  are  just  flying  by,  I  can't
believe its April already.
Voting  for  the  Sports  Awards  has  now
been  done,  and  I  can  say  there  are
some  very  talent  kids  out  there  and
some  devoted  parents  that  get  them  to
all their sports events, I take my hat off
to  you.  So  come  along  to  the  Sports
Awards  Monday  the  14th  of  April.  I
have some tickets or you may get them
at  Jaques  Four  Square.  It  should  be  a
good  night,  as  they  are  celebrating  30
years.
Our  AGM  is  going  to  be  held  at  the
gym  at  11am  on  Monday  the  7th  of
April.  Please  come  along  and  have
your  say,  or  join  the  committee.  Is
there  any  one  out  there  keen  for  the
President  position  as  I  feel  its  time  to
move  on  and  get  some  new  blood  and
ideas.
To the young guys using a knife to gain
access  to  the  gym,  pay  up  or  keep  out.
Any  other  members  supporting  them
also  risk  losing  their  membership.
Thanks to the  locals for reporting their
actions  -  we  cannot  be  there  24/7  so
thanks for your help.
Shopping  for  gear  didn't  go  well,  but
pro  show  was  great.  I  will  try  again
soon,  as  I  am  looking  at  replacing  old
DB  and  BB,  but  they  are  hard  to
source.
All for now hope to see you at meeting
or sports awards, Jules

Welcome  to  Linda,  the  newest  member  of
the library team.
Next Book Swap
It's  April  already  -  where  has  the
time gone? Our next book swap is
later  this  month,  when  the  Large
Print  and  Audio  books  will  be
returned  and  new  titles  brought
back.  Now  is  the  time  to  get  in
and  borrow  any  you've  been
meaning  to  read/listen  to,  as  we
will  need  them  all  back  at  the  li-
brary by Sunday 27 April, please.
Interloans
It's great to see our members mak-
ing  good  use  of  the  library  inter-
loan  service.  We  get  regular  re-
quests  for  books  held  on  the
shelves  of  other  libraries  in  the
district, and there is no charge for
this.  If  you  have  access  to  the
internet you can search the library
catalogue across the entire district
via  the  Kaipara  District  Council
web  site  before  coming  in  to  see
us  -  go  to  www.kaipara.govt.nz
and  scroll  down  to  the  bottom  of
the  home  page  click  on  the  Li-
brary link in the menu there.  You
can  also  download  free  audio
books  and  e-books  from  there,
too, if you have set a PIN on your
library  card  -  come  in  to  the  li-
brary  and  ask  to  do  that  if  you
need  to.  Otherwise  come  on  in  to
the  library  with  your  title  or  au-
thor  or  subject  and  we  can  search
the catalogue for you. If you want
a  book  that  is  not  held  within  the  district,
we  can  source  it  for  you  for  a  charge;  the
amount  depends  on  how  much  we're
charged  by  the  loaning  library,  but  should
not be more than $10-$25.
Book Review
Recently I've been reading The V oid Trilo-
gy: The  Dreaming  Void,  The  Temporal
Void,  and  The  Evolutionary  Void,  by  Pe-
ter F Hamilton. It is 1500 year s since the
time

the

Commonwealth

Saga

(Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained).
Mankind has progressed a long way - phys-
ically and technologically, and inhabiting

over a thousand star systems - since the
story of the Starflyer War told in those

books.  When  we  start,  the  Living
Dream  movement  are  appointing
their  next  Cleric  Conservator  to
lead the many  believers across the
galaxy. Not that it will do much to
progress their cause, since the only
person who can take them into the
Void  is  Inigo himself,  Dreamer  of
the  dreams  of  Edeard  and  life  in
Makkathran,  and  he  disappeared
long  ago.  Non-believers  do  not
want  Living  Dream  to  succeed  at
all  -  entering  the  Void  will  likely
destroy  the rest  of  the  known  gal-
axy. The Raiel have been blocking
access to the Void for thousands of
years  now,  to  prevent  just  that
from  happening.  But  suddenly
someone  else  is  Dreaming,  and
talking to the Skylords in the Void
-  could  the  Second  Dreamer  lead
the  movement  to  their  fulfilment?
For  all  that  this  is  a  huge  story
(2000+  pages  across  the  three
books)  it  is  fast-paced  and  grip-
ping,  and  hard  to  put  down  -  I'll
have it finished and returned to the
library  by  the  time  you  read  this
review in the Bugle. In my experi-
ence,  Peter  F  Hamilton  never  dis-
appoints!  Do  read  the  Common-
wealth  Saga  before  starting  the
Void  Trilogy,  and  read  the  books
in  order.  My  first  attempt  at  The
Dreaming  Void took me a week to
read  50  pages  as  I  tried  to  absorb

so  much  that  was  new  to  me  (before  dis-
covering  I  needed  to  read  the  Saga  first),
but having that behind me made my second
attempt  much  easier  and  more  enjoyable,
as  I  had  that  history  in  mind.  Great  stuff!
All  five  books  mentioned  here  are  on  the
Fiction shelves in the library.

See you in the library!

v Western Sharks 22 March
Otamatea  started  well  scoring  a  couple
of  good  tries  keeping  the  game  close.
Handling errors cost us, and the Sharks
capitalised on  our mistakes scoring out
wide  with  good  back  line  moves.
Hawks  tries:  Patrick  Grundy,  Jordan
Linnell;  conversion    and  penalties  Dan
Hawkins.
Reserves  lost  16-24,  this  young  side
performed  well  against  the  more  expe-
rienced  Sharks  team.  Justin  Walker
lead again from the front.
v Waipu 29 March
Another very hot, humid, dry and dusty
day  saw  two  great  games  on  a  hard
paddock.  Before  play  started  both
teams  and  supporters  showed  a
minute’s  silence  for  James  Connelly
(Jimo)  whose  children  Hemi  and  Blos-
som  are  both  great  supporters  of  our

Club.
Otamatea  Hawks  won  33-
26.  The  Premiers  kept  to  their  game
plan,  stuck  it  out  after  12-12  score  at
half time. The second half was a tit-for-
tat  half,  a  feisty  Waipu  played  some
outstanding

moves

but

well-

deserving  Hawks  team  came  out  win-
ners.
Reserves  won  26-5.  Tries:  Mike
Tuheke,  Daniel  Kawana-Pool,  Adam
Scott. Two conversions by Adam Scott.
International  player  from  Tanzania,
Blake  Worsfold,  controlled  the  game
well  from  1st  five,  getting  Otamatea
good  territory  through  good  control
forward and back play. They were able
to turn this advantage into points.

Next  game:  v  Hikur angi  at  Hiku-
rangi 5 April 12:30pm.

Special Olympics Athletics - North

Special

Olym-

pics has com-
menced with our
team

attending

Athletics

North

Harbour

Stadium.

They

had a fantastic
day

competing

against  the  other
schools.
We  left  OTA
with cloudy skies
and  arrived  in
muggy  heat  in
Auckland.

The

day

consisted  of
long  jump,
running  rac-
es,  walking
races,  jave-
lin  throwing
along

with

other

fun

sports.  Plac-
ings  ranged
in  different
events  from
1

place to

place. Well done students!

The students showed great team work

and made it a pleasurable day for all.

~ Ladene Hunter

The Northland Relay for Life was

introduced to Otamatea High School 5

years ago by Mr and Mrs Perry. The

staff (OTA Strollers) have attended and

celebrated the event each year.

Visit

http://www.relay.org.nz/

learn about the Relay for Life event.
It  was  at  an  assembly  on  a  Monday
morning early in 2012 that the Prefects
asked the students in the hall to stand if
they  had  been  affected  in  any  way  by
cancer.    In  silence  more  than  ¾  of  our
young  students  stood.    OTA  Kids  was
born.
Each  year  our  Year  13  students  (OTA
Kids)  and  staff  (OTA  Strollers)  join
hundreds  of  people  at  Relay  for  Life
Northland.

This year, thanks to Cyclone Luci’s

terrible weather OTA Kids were unable
to attend Relay for Life, Northland.

Not to be beaten we will be walking for

24 hours around the field at the Maun-

gaturoto Country Club and we want
you to join us for Otamatea High

School’s Walk for Life.
Come and walk the field, remember

those lost to cancer, celebrate those

who are fighting cancer and celebrate
those who have beaten cancer.

We encourage you all to pop down to

the club at any time throughout the 24

hours. Walk for as long as you like.
The highlight of the 24 hours will be

the candle bag walk (held at 8pm)

where  we  would  love  you to  join  us.  It
really is an amazing experience.
Purchase  a  candle  bag  from  Otamatea
High  School,  Maungaturoto  Primary
School  or  Maungaturoto  Pharmacy  for
$5 (funds go to the Cancer Society).
Decorate  your  candle  bag  in  memory
of  loved  one/s.    Bring  it  along  to  the
Country  Club  to  be  placed  around  the
walking  track  with  a  lit  tealight  candle
(supplied  on  the  night)  and  walk  the
track with us.

Ph: 09 4312741

Operations:
2013 was a very busy and diverse year
where  we  attended  over  950  calls  in
our  area.  We  averaged  around  80  calls
per  month  with  our  busiest  month  be-
ing  July  with  97  jobs  (we  didn’t  quite
crack  the  100).    Our  medical  callouts
ranged from cardiac issues, respiratory,
abdominal,  stroke,  seizures,  allergic
reactions, back and  neck problems and
much  more  and  unfortunately  some
cardiac  arrests.    As  well  as  medical
callouts,  we  also  attended  trauma  calls
such  as  motor  vehicle  crashes,  sports,
farming  and  home injuries.  These  jobs
always  present  their  own  challenges
particularly if the patients are trapped.
We as a team would like to give a huge
thanks  to  the  local  Maungaturoto  and
Kaiwaka  Fire  Services,  the  Paparoa
Rural  Fire  Party  and  the  local  Police
who often work alongside us.  Without
the team effort on these calls we would
not  achieve  the  great  results  that  we
have.
Operating an ambulance service can be
very costly and we would like to thank
all those that have supported  our fund-
raising efforts.  These included sausag-
es sizzles, Trash and Treasure fundrais-
er,  the  Kaiwaka  Opportunity  Shop  and
of  course  the  ever  popular  Christmas
Trees.
Although we have a paid officer cover-
ing  Monday  to  Friday  during  the  day,
we  have  a  huge  reliance  on  volunteer
officers  to  help  cover  the  24/7  roster.
At  present  we  have  20  Operational
Volunteers  covering  both  stations,
many of who have gained their Nation-
al  Diploma  in  Ambulance  Practice
qualification  over  the  last  year.    Alt-
hough  we  have  this  dedicated  band  of
volunteers  we  urgently  require  addi-
tional  people  to  come  forward  to  en-
sure we can provide fulltime cover.
We  cover  a  very  large  area,  from
Brynderwyns  in  the  north  to  Te  Hana
in  the  south  and  from  Mangawhai  Vil-
lage in the east to Tinopai in the west.

Some  of  our  Activities  and  Services
include:
Recruiting:
We  are  always  looking  to  recruit  new
ambulance  officers  and  right  now
Maungaturoto and Kaiwaka needs you.
So  if  you  have  a  full  drivers  licence,  a
clean  Police  record  and  the  ability  to
give  an  average  of  one  shift  a  week
(either  day  or  night)  and  have  a  good
level  of  fitness,  please  phone  Maunga-
turoto  Station  on  09  431  8403  or  the
Station  Manager  on  021  355734  and
ask for an information pack.
If  accepted  you  will  become  part  of  a
very dedicated, skilled and professional
team  of  ambulance  officers.    You  will
be  given  free  training  which  equips
you

with

important

skills

and

knowledge, gives you confidence and
could lead to employment with St John
in the future.

Area Committee:
All ambulance stations are
supported by an Area
Committee  which  is  a  group  of  people
from  the  local  community  and  busi-
nesses.  Our Otamatea Area Committee
is  a  dedicated  group  of  individuals  fo-
cussed  on  looking  at  ways  to  improve
our  station  and  provide  for  our  volun-
teers.    This year we will be calling for
Area  Committee  nominations  so  if
there  is  anybody  out  there  that  would
like  to  be  part  of  this  team  and  feel
they  have  something  to  contribute
phone  the  station  to  find  out  more.
Meetings  are  held  every  third  Monday
of  the  month  to  discuss  station  busi-
ness.
Supporters Scheme:
Many  of  you  belong  to  the  Otamatea
Area  Supporter’s  Scheme  and  again
thank  you  for  your  on-going  support.
The  part  charge  for  an  ambulance  trip
is  $88.00  and  this  only  goes  a  small
way  in  meeting  the  actual  running
costs of an ambulance.  The Supporters
Scheme is priced at $45.00 for an indi-
vidual and $60.00 for a family living at
the  same  address.  This  covers  any
emergency  trips  anywhere  in  NZ.    As
well  as  helping  cover  ambulance  calls
any  additional  funds  goes  towards  the
running of the station and support of its
staff and other activities.  This includes
the  upkeep  of  the  accommodation  for
our  night  shift  volunteers,  volunteer
training  tools,  study  books,  computers
and  supporting  officers  that  attend
training opportunities and seminars.
For  more  information  on  this  Scheme
please  phone  Pam  Foster  on  09  431
8211.
Caring Caller:
Would you like to be a St John
Caring Caller?
Everyone needs someone to chat to and
our Caring Caller service provides that
one on one contact on a daily basis.  If
you are good at talking to people, have
some spare time and would like to real-
ly make a difference in someone’s life,
then call us today.  Even if you are able
to give ten minutes of your time a day,
you  can  form  a  long  term  friendship
with someone over the phone.
Sometimes  as  we  get  older  we  lose
contact  with  people  whose  company
we  enjoy.    Making  friends  to  fill  the
gap  can  be  difficult  and  we  find  we
become  lonely.    St  John  Caring  Caller
is  a  free  long  term  friendship  service
that  puts  you  in  touch  with  someone
who cares.
If  you,  or  know  someone  who  would
benefit  from  regular  telephone  contact
either as a programme member or Call-
er  and  would  like  more  information
please  phone  on  0800  780  780  or  con-
tact Len on 09 431 8810.

For any  information  please  feel  free  to
drop  in  to  the  Station  or  phone  09
4318403 or 021 355734.

OTAMATEA
DAY
CAMP

We have set the dates for Otamatea
Day Camp 2014!! Mark those calen-
dars… Tuesday 22

April through to

Thursday 24

April. For those who

have  not  had  the  whole  Day  Camp  ex-
perience  before  this  is  what  you  have
been missing out on.
Otamatea Day Camp is run by the local
churches  and  has  been  running  for  11
years  now  and  it  is  3  days  of  being  in
the great outdoors with about 150 other
kids and a whole bunch of teen leaders
and  countless  adults  that  are  needed  to
run this event.
You  will  experience…  a  Bible  based
tent  programme  and  songs,  bush  hut
building, building a campfire and cook-
ing your sausage and marshmallows on
it, hiking, watersliding, games and then
on top of that you get to choose 2 elec-
tives  from  a  list  that  include  archery,
dam  building,  crafts  of  various  kinds,
sheep  shearing,  making  flax  canoes,
fire  arms  safety,  woodcraft,  making
things  from  cans  and  the  list  goes  on.
We  provide  buses  to  get  you  there  and
back  each  day  or  you  can  come  by  car
out into the back of beyond!
So  does  this  sound  like  something  you
would like to be involved in, then keep
an  eye  out  for  the  registrations  forms
that  are  out  and  in  your  community.
Your  school  office  (Kaiwaka,  Matako-
he,  Paparoa,  Maungaturoto  and  the
Christian  School)  will  have  the  forms
as  will  Kaiwaka  Post  Office,  Paparoa
Drapery,  Dreams  and  100%  Fergus
Electrical  or  you  can  ring  Ruth  Rosser
(09)4318491  or  Debbie  Blythen  (09)
4316892.  So hope to hear from you in
the not too distant future.

SKY TOWER STAIR CHALLENGE

The Kaiwaka Fire Brigade will be competing in the Sky Tower Stair

Challenge in May to raise funds for the Leukaemia and Blood Cancers

Foundation.

Local fire fighters Mickey Renton, Mike Law and Tim Brown will race

up the 1,103 stairs in Auckland's Sky Tower wearing 25kg of kit to help

raise money for this worthy cause. Last year they did it in 22 minutes –

can they beat that record this time?

To donate, either to an individual or to the

team as a whole, please visit

Thank you for your support!

SHAVE FOR A CURE

To Everyone Who Supported Me ...and the Shave for a Cure Team

Thank  you to everyone  who supported  me  – financially and with words  of  en-
couragement  – for my head shave last weekend as part of a “Shave for a Cure”.
To  Mike  Law,  a special  thanks  for  being  as  gentle  and  as  careful  as  you  were
when you shaved my head.
To  everyone  that  came  along  to  watch,  and  those  who  joined  in  and  had  their
heads shaved – good on you!
To Pat Buxton who came up with the original idea of the Kaiwaka Kinas – well
done for having  the vision that we could do it!! And we did!!!
