Andrew Griffiths has just completed a
most successful series of cartoon drawing
workshops in Kaiwaka. They were so
successful he had to run a second session
each week. More than twenty young
students from Kaiwaka, Otamatea and Maungaturoto
attended and are keen to continue with Andy. Andy aimed
to keep the sessions simple and fun - he used games along
with encouraging them to create their own character,
improve their drawing and eventually produce their own
comic strip. The ToonSkool was funded with the help of
Kaipara District Creative Communities.
Andy also has a pre-
schoolers picture book,
‘Eddie
the
bad
tempered teddy bear’.
It tells the humorous
story of a teddy bear
learning to overcome
the
frustrations
of
everyday
life
with
some help from his
friends and learn a few
lessons
about
controlling his temper
along the way.
The idea for the book
came about when
he was trying to
keep his three year
old daughter Josie entertained by making up
a story and drawing pictures for her to colour
in. He kept those original doodles and
realised that he had the very rough
beginnings of a children’s book. A few
months later he completed all the illustrations and published
the book himself through Amazon’s Print-on demand
service Createspace. ‘Eddie the bad tempered teddy bear’ is
now available at The Well of Health, Kaiwaka.
Note that the author is Charles Griffiths - “Charles” is
Andy’s middle name. This saves any confusion with his
namesake, Andy Griffiths, the Australian children’s author.
Andy currently works as a freelance cartoonist and graphic
designer. He formerly worked as an animation artist and
illustrator for various companies including Warner Bros
Feature animation - he worked on the Looney Tunes movie
Space Jam, Warner Bros Consumer Products and Stephen
Spielberg’s Amblimation studios.

KNIT AND NATTER
On a cold and windy morning, 12 ladies joined
together in Cafe Bianca, all bringing their current
W.I.P. (work in progress) with them. We had a great
morning, talking, sharing, one of the group learning to
crochet during the morning. We had great coffee, tea
and cakes, all the delicious produce of Cafe Bianca.
One of the ladies present came from Portugal, visiting
her daughter who lives here, and she brought the most
exquisite embroidery and crochet work. All of this
lady's talents are being poured into creating a 'bottom'
drawer for all her grand daughters. With much
laughter, we agreed to meet again, in Cafe Bianca on
the last Wednesday of each month. If you would like
to join us you would be very welcome. Further details
can be obtained from Elizabeth on 431 2522.
Are YOU prepared to leave YOUR home with
your family at a moment’s notice in the event of
an emergency? Maybe it’s time to think about it.
Following a petrol tanker crash in the middle of
Maungaturoto one hundred people were evacuated to the
Kaiwaka Welfare Centre in the Kaiwaka War Memorial
Hall – or so went the scenario for the Civil Defence
exercise on Saturday!
Run by Kaipara CDEM Officer Trevor Andrews and
Claire Nyberg CDO for the NRC, the workshop attracted
a worthwhile number of people from Dargaville to
Mangawhai and all points in-between, and Kaiwaka
wasn’t disgraced either. The Northland Red Cross team
with their emergency trailer were also present to assist.
We need more people to join our local group. Contact Jan
431 2416, Wendy 431 2725, or Sarah 431 2351 for further

BOOK REVIEW
Soldier by John A Lee
Private John Guy is an ordinary New
Zealand soldier in the midst of World
War I. He is in London on leave from
the trenches, half-way to being shell-
shocked and trying to make his meagre
funds last until he has to go
back to the
front.
After spending a while shacked up with
a young prostitute, new enough to the
job to not be hardened by it, his money
runs out and he alternates between
walking the streets of the famous city
until he's worn out and sickened by it,
and hanging out at a canteen for sol-
diers. It's there he meets a young Kiwi
girl, stuck in England and unable to get
home due to shipping being unsafe,
and doing her bit to help out to fill in
time.
He's attracted to Hawea immediately,
though she takes a while to soften and
let him into her life - and once she
does, there's no going back. But they
both know this is the equivalent to a
holiday romance, and he will have to
go back to war, where he is unlikely to
survive.
This is a story not only about war-time
romance, but the hard facts of life in
the trenches to which John returned.
It's a tough read at times, but very en-
lightening.
The novel was first published in the
1970s, but Lee wrote the first draft in
1918 while he was recovering from his
own wounds in an English hospital. He
went on to become a famous politician
and novellist.
This book is on the Fiction shelves in
the library. ~Wendy
John A Lee: 1891 – 1982; was awarded the
Distinguished Conduct Medal for ac-
tion at Messines in June 1917, and was
repatriated after being wounded in
March 1918 and losing his left arm.
WATERWAYS
We have been doing our bit,
along
with
many
other
landowners. Firstly in 2013 we
fenced off approximately 1500 metres of
the Hakaru river or Topuni creek, which
ever you prefer.
Whilst enjoying a lunch break by the river,
we saw a large “gold fish”, this we
estimated to be in excess of 700mm, as
said fish was next to a decoy we were
fairly confident of its length.
Being responsible landowners we reported
the siting to the Regional council, who in
turn informed DOC. Now some fourteen
months later they contacted us wishing to
check out this siting. They duly arrive with
dinghy and nets, the aim being to find out
the distribution of unwanted pest fish in the
district, as part of a wider strategy to
address
freshwater
biosecurity
in
Northland.
The key species they were looking for was
koi carp, along with other introduced fish,
also the distribution of native species was
of interest to them as well. The first trip
netted a large goldfish. Further down the
creek a positive sighting of a Koi Carp.
Overall they had some interesting results,
finding a range of species including Koi
Carp, Common Carp, Rudd, Grass Carp,
Catfish, Gambusia, Short Fin and Long Fin
Eels, Inanga, Freshwater Shrimp, and two
species of Bully.
This work will continue into the future
with field surveys to be carried out next
summer, along with community awareness,
signage and school education programmes.
Where did they come from? There is many
and varied stories of the demise of the
humble goldfish and other tank fish that
have lost their attraction for what ever
reason. Please give it some thought before
releasing these fish as they could well find
their way in to our rivers and streams.

Hi from the Hakaru “Chicks”!
Once again we are keeping ourselves
busy and warm, some of us have been
gallivanting about going to Birthdays
and meetings while others have got
their knitting needles out knitting
beanies and making toilet bags to put
essentials in for underprivileged
children going on Camps organised by
Stand, which I will tell you more about
after our Birthday when ‘The Stand’
organiser is coming to talk to us.
The Birkenhead Birthday was very
enjoyable where Heather won a
beautiful doll (which she later gave to
Lena for her expected first great-
grandchild). Bettie Marchant, Betty
Aitken-Cooke and I attended also and
we had a great day. Thanks to Lena for
driving us.
On the 6th September we are catering
for the Air Force with a roast meal and
sweets.
On the 13th September 2 car loads of
our
members
are
attending
Maungaturoto’s Birthday, which we
are looking forward to, and 4 members
are going to Pukekohe’s Birthday on
22nd September.
In the meantime we will be fine tuning
our 59th Birthday arrangements for
23rd October at which we have a
couple of surprises in store all going
well.
We are hoping Waitakere RSA are
coming up on a bus trip on 28th
September. One of their stops will be
our Clubrooms for lunch and
socialising.
Well folks that is all for now, we do
wish Bev Ogilvy a speedy recovery
after her hip operation and hope she is
back with us soon, and we do miss the
Sherriff with his cheery face and jokes.
Members we hope you are busy
producing things for the Sales table at
our Birthday, the visitors look forward
to it.
Keep well and warm, new members
are still most “Welcome”. ~Ann

ZONTA
Youth Development Voyage
The Zonta Club of Mangawhai are very
pleased to announce that applications are now
open for the 4th annual award for young women in the
area (from Wellsford to Bream Bay) to apply for a 10
day Youth Development Voyage on the Spirit of
Adventure. Application forms are available by request
by
emailing
mangawhai@zonta.org.nz
or
ph
0275556636. The deadline for applications is Friday
3rd October 2014
Right to vote
On Friday 19th September the Zonta Club of
Mangawhai are celebrating 121 years of women
gaining the right to vote in New Zealand with a
breakfast at the Waipu Golf Club from 9am. Jill Mutch
and Sarah Shaw will be giving speeches at 10am and
the intention is to remind us all to use our hard earned
right to vote the next day in the general election -
please see attached flyer. All are welcome to attend.
Sophie Elliott Foundation
To commence a two year partnership with the Sophie
Elliott Foundation the Zonta Club of Mangawhai will
be having a White Ribbon stall at Saturday Market in
Mangawhai on 22nd of November. All funds collected
will be passed on to the Sophie Elliot Foundation. This
funding is to assist with the printing of a book
containing practical advice to help young people
remain safe in relationships particularly in a dating
sense. The book will be offered free of charge to
students who participate in the Loves-Me-Not
workshops for Year 12 students (girls and boys)
delivered by three trained facilitators, one from the
Police, a local NGO (Non-Government Organization)
and a teacher. This will be an interactive day long
workshop focussed towards teens learning about
healthy and unhealthy behaviours in a relationship, how
to recognise abusive behaviours, effective bystander
strategies and where to go for help.
The common goal of both Zonta and the Sophie Elliot
Foundation is the prevention of domestic violence and
the empowerment of women through education and
awareness. Violence against women is a huge social
issue that affects all sectors of New Zealand society.
Since Sophie Elliot died on 9th January 2008, at the
hands of a former boyfriend, around 80 women have
similarly lost their lives. The Zonta Club of Mangawhai
is also planning its own Awareness evening about
Domestic Violence in the Mangawhai Hall on Tuesday
25th November which is also White Ribbon day.
Speakers for this event are yet to be confirmed, but it
will be on much the same lines as the workshop above.

KAIWAKA WAR
MEMORIAL HALL
An update on what is happening within
your community hall.
Maintenance
The inside of the hall has been painted
and NorthTec will be finishing the
doors, skirtings, etc, soon. The
committee has plans to replace the well
-worn carpets. New curtains have been
installed in the Supper Room. We
intend to get the hall “lit up” on the
outside again, as soon as suitable lights
have been sourced; it is proving harder
to get decent-quality lights that will
last a reasonable time than it once was.
Kaiwaka Community Garden
Is there interest to start a group to use
and grow your own veges and maintain
the gardens? Contact me for more

Rio 2, Frozen (repeated due to popular
demand); for the adults - The Grand

KAIWAKA
FITNESS
CENTRE
Sorry I have been so slack in writing of
late but it is full on competing at the
moment. Have just been to Taupo
where I defended my titles of last year,
off to Queenstown at the end of month,
then if still in the mood NABBA
Nationals at the end of October and
finally who knows back to San Diego
again to defend my titles for last year,
so as you can see all go.
As for the gym all seems to be going
well. The new calf machine has now
arrived. It can also be used as a squat
machine, good for those who have sore
backs.
As the days start to get longer and
spring around the corner a lot of you
will be thinking of the beach, bikinis
and whether they still fit after winter.
Its time now for action, by increasing
your activity levels and looking at what
you are eating, remember 90% is what
you put in your mouth, and that cutting
calories to low might mean you lose
some weight to start with but if they
are to low your metabolic rate will
slow down making it harder to lose
weight. Its a matter of cutting a few
things out and eating clean.
The Sports Association has some other
options for exercise if you don't fancy
the gym: squash, touch, tennis, walking
is always good as well, so get out and
move your tosh and start making
changes for the better.

Kaiwaka Knitting for Whangarei Hospital
We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the Apple Basket,
State Highway 1, Kaiwaka, 10.00-12.00.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those wonderful people who
have donated some absolutely beautiful blankets and yarn to our group.
Whangarei Hospital Staff are blown away by the generosity of everyone who
knits, crochets, and donates so the patients can be warm. They take home what-
ever the nurses give them so the need is almost endless.
We are always on the lookout for more wool and people who want to help. Just
come along.
As a group we also make the calico dolls for the Children’s Ward for the Doc-
tors to use to show the children where their procedure will be on them. We have
decided to make at least 30 per month and we turn and stuff them on this day. So
if you don't knit or crochet and want to help you are most welcome.

HWH COATES
Hubert Coates is listed on
the
Kaiwaka
War
Memorial Hall WW1
Honours Board under
‘Born in the District’, with
W for wounded alongside his
name.
The late Alex Watson, a former teacher
and Coates descendant retired to
Kaiwaka, wrote the excellent book
“Hill of the Seabird’. Alex wrote of
Hubert’s WW1 experience: “Henry
William Hubert, youngest of Thomas
Coates' sons was 20 when war broke
out. He was living with his sister,
Olive, at the parents’ home at Orakei.
He enlisted and went overseas as a
Lieutenant. He fought in France and
was wounded in the knee, recuperated
in England and re-joined his infantry
regiment. He was promoted to Captain
in the field, received a massive head
wound, and was brought out for dead.
He subsequently disclosed that he
believed himself blinded, his scalp
having fallen over his eyes. He was
invalided back to Auckland, together
with 18 wounded fellow officers and
506 other ranks. … He married Myrtle
Hunter of Mt Albert, Auckland, in
1921, and, on his return from Fiji, he
took over the management of the North
Auckland property from Edward, and
lived in Mountain Home. They had a
family of one son and two daughters
(Russell, Mary and Margaret).”
~ from page 205-6 of ‘Hill of the
Seabird’ by AP Watson
Hubert later farmed in the Wellsford
area. Sadly his son Charles Russell
Coates was killed at Cassino in WW2.

OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL
Reporoa College – Otamatea High
School Sports’ Exchange
Sunday 10th – Tuesday 12th August (49th
Annual Exchange)
The 49th Annual Exchange took place
from the 10th – 12th August. Reporoa
College had won the last two
events and so there was mounting
pressure for Otamatea to front up
and achieve some success.
On Sunday night in front of an
excellent crowd, the more
experienced
Reporoa
teams
showed their qualities and won
both basketball matches. The Ota
girls struggled against a well
organised defence and the
boys were eventually
beaten by some excellent
3 pointers which seemed
to be scored at will.
Coming into the Monday
the school were already 2
matches down with 5 still
to be decided.
The debate was the first event on Monday
morning and a responsive audience
witnessed some lively discussion. The
moot was “Smoking should be illegal” and
Otamatea were the affirmative. Izzie Porter
and James Finlay were excellent with facts
and Jordan Smith provided the
audience entertainment winning
the debate.
Next the 1st X1 Football team
were keen to maintain their
unbeaten season. The game did
not start well with Reporoa
scoring first in the first five
minutes. This was the spur that
Otamatea needed and from this
point onward the team
began to put together
some
good
attacking
moves. Cameron Gil and
then
Alex
Damsted
scored to put the school 2
– 1 up at half time and
now in a commanding
position. Otamatea held
on to this scoreline
although Reporoa missed a penalty with 3
minutes left to play. My thanks to Grant
Van Dalsum for refereeing the game which
was played in an excellent spirit.
The netballers have not had their best
season this year but Coach Nikola Kemp
went into the game full of confidence for
her team. This confidence was well
founded and the girls played
exceptionally well to win the
game 52 – 36. All the girls
saw court time and they put
together a solid performance,
no matter what combinations
were being used. The school
would like to thank the
umpires
Jodie
Bennito
and
Tai
Cunningham.
The hockey girls travelled to Whangarei
and had a highly competitive game, but one
with no goals scored. Both coaches were
happy with their team’s performances and
on reflection believed that a draw was a
fair result. Thanks to the umpires Tayla
Perkinson and Melissa Underwood.
The rugby was the final fixture of the
exchange and it was great to see Otamatea
field a strong team for the day. Coach Brett
Coates had his under 16’s as the bulk of the
team with a few of the year 12’s and 13’s
to add some bulk to
the team. Otamatea swiftly went into a 12 –
0 lead with tries from Kharnse Namana and
Michael Parker. However, Reporoa hit
back and were leading 17 – 12 going into
the last quarter. With Reporoa attacking
inside the 22 there was a turn over and
Rhys Shadbolt broke out, Goodwin Paikea
carried on the move and Anton Herewini
scored in the corner. Rhys Shadbolt
converted to give the school a 19 – 17
victory and victory overall in the exchange.
Many thanks to Craig Shadbolt for
refereeing.
After a successful exchange my thanks go
to Kay Robinson and Tina Holst for all
their hard work and to you the parents who
provided the billets. Well done a great
Otamatea team effort.
Paul Chambers
Level 3 Physical Education Trip to
Woodhill Forest
On the 20th of June the Level 3 P.E. class
travelled down to Woodhill Forest to take
part in the Tree Adventures and mountain
biking tracks for our outdoor safety
standard. We left school at 7a.m. arriving
at Woodhill at 8:30am. We went to tree
adventures first and, after the safety
briefing and demonstration, we went and
completed all of the 14 increasingly harder
courses that they provided. After lunch we
left tree adventures and went to get our
mountain bikes, we formed two groups,
one went with Mr Chambers and the other
with Ms Parkinson, to bike over
approximately 14 of the 120 kilometres
that run through the forest. We biked
through the Natures Valley and the
Auckland Eye Tracks. There were 5 levels
of bike jumps along the tracks, 1X, being
the easiest, through to 5X, which was the
most difficult, we spent 4 hours on the
tracks, getting back to the van early enough
to go to the Parakai thermal pools before
leaving to go home. It was such a fun and
active day.

of the inventions. Trophies and other prizes
will be awarded to the students on Monday

speakers.
The
impromptu section was
very entertaining with the
topic of, “Should New
Zealand sell agricultural
land
to
foreign
investors?” being really
challenging for the speech
contestants to come up
with a valid argument
within a very tight time
preparation time of only
90 seconds. The winner
was Alana Hathaway
from Mahurangi College,
who will continue to the
final
Annual
Rotary
Speech Competition in
Whangarei next month.

OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL
continued from page 17
At level 3 the cookery
unit standards require
the students to produce
food in a commercial
kitchen that is then sold
to the general public.
Students work at the
Country Club with their
tutor Julie Lewis.
Topics covered are pasta and egg cookery,
complex sandwiches, and the baking of
cakes, sponges and scones.
The skills they are
developing were
evident in recent
practical
assessments run at
school and at the
Country Club.
Students
also
assist Julie with
selected in school
catering
for
different groups.
Basketball hoop built by OHS students
Otamatea High School’s Year 10
metalwork class put together an awesome
effort to make their own basketball hoop!
The team of craftsmen included myself-
Lochy Bonasich, Jacob Beeler, Travis
Flannagan, Brody Shadbolt, Lee Holst,
Tamati Abel and our inspiring metalwork
teacher Mr Mackenzie. This was a great
way for us to
learn
about
teamwork,
metalwork,
and
design
skills.
And
now we get to
enjoy
our
finished
product.
