KAIWAKA SCHOOL: Out and About
Remembrance Day
We commemorated Remembrance Day
– The Declaration of Peace after World
War One - on 11.11. 1914, at 11.00am.
Our Cubs led this as they lowered the
flag, showed everyone how to stand to
attention, and respectfully listen to The
Last Post. Everyone participated in a
minute of silence. The Cub Salute was
given to the flag when it was raised
again. We thank our Cubs, Matthew
Everson, Brenda Ferguson, Sarah
Everson, Lucy Gilligan and Tara
Moyle for their leadership and good
example with this commemoration.
Noho Marae visit
What a huge success last week’s Marae
Noho at Oruawharo Marae was!
Seventy-three students from Kaiwaka
School and twenty-three from Nga
Ringaomatariki Kura at Oruawharo
joined together to share Te Reo me
onga Tikanga Maori at this fabulous
Marae. The students, working in mixed
age groups were assisted by generous
whanau who gave up two days to guide
our tamariki in their activities: mahi toi
(creating taonga,) rarangi harakeke
(plaiting flax flowers,) tonu kai
(making and eating pancakes,) tititorea
with rakau roa (practising dexterity
with the long sticks,) purei kemu
(playing string and knucklebone
games) and pakiwaitara (small plays of
the history of Ngati Whatua and
Aotearoa.)
It was very special to have the
expertise of Whaea Noema and Matua
Reno from the Kura and to hear Te Reo
Maori spoken freely by the tauira of the
Kura. We saw a living language! We
loved the puppet show which gave us
the’ missing link’ about the Tohunga
Ruawharo.
Thank you to all the parents who so
generously supplied kai and to those
who coordinated it’s delivery and
purchase for us. Special thanks to those
who
worked
tirelessly in the
kitchen to keep
our
puku
so
filled with tino
kai reka!
Again I would
like to thank the
whanau
and
friends who gave
up their time to
stay overnight to
support
the
Kaupapa of our
Noho
Marae.

Jersey Boys
Friday 28 November 7:30pm (M)
(Please note change from previous advertising, due to
delayed release of “Mrs Brown”.)
A musical biography of the Four Seasons-
the rise, the tough times and personal
clashes, and the ultimate triumph of a
group of friends whose music became
symbolic of a generation. Far from a mere
tribute concert (though it does include
numbers from the popular Four Seasons
songbook), Jersey Boys gets to the heart of
the relationships at the centre of the group-
with a special focus on frontman Frankie
Valli, the small kid with the big falsetto.
Directed by Clint Eastwood. Starring John
Lloyd Young as Frankie Valli, also
Vincent Piazza, Christopher Walken.
Dinner & movie special - $25 - Limited tickets

Affordable Family Treat at ORT
Shar Dormer is enjoying her debut in
the Director’s chair for the Otamatea
Repertory Theatre end-of-year show –
‘The Wind in the Willows.’
Shar is no stranger to the stage. Over
the past three years, she has acted in
each of the winning plays at the
TheatreFests. ‘Coupon Fiesta’ in 2012
when she won Best Actress and
represented ORT at Whakatane;
‘Joined at the Hip’ which went on to
represent ORT at the 2013 National
TheatreFest
in
Wellington;
and
‘Change of Heart’ which was judged
Best Play at the 2014 Northland
TheatreFest. She also had minor roles
in ‘The Pajama Game’ in 2007 and
‘The Three Little Pigs’ in 2012.
“‘The team at ORT is amazing, and we
have all worked so hard to produce the
best show possible. We have kept the
ticket prices down so that families can
come and enjoy this timeless classic,”
says Shar. “Kids can come to the show
for only $5 – it is cheaper than going to
the movies!”
‘The Wind in the Willows’ by
Kenneth Grahame is hailed as one of
the classic greats of children’s
literature. With its themes of
friendship and loyalty, the gentle and
whimsical story features the well-loved
characters of Ratty, Badger, Toad and
Mole.
Mike Carter’s delightful adaptation
recreates the simple charm and magic
of this timeless story. It was first
staged in the UK at Christmas in 1985
where it broke all previous box office
records for a Christmas show.
Tickets are on sale at Tony’s Lotto
Shop in Maungaturoto or online at
www.ort.org.nz
The show runs for two weekends from
21st to 30th November at the theatre in
Maungaturoto.

Campcraft
Many thanks to the Mangawhai Club for
their sponsorship of our Kaiwaka/
Mangawhai Scout Troop. This sponsorship
enabled our local Scout Troop to send a
Patrol to the annual Northland Campcraft
competition held on 7th, 8th, 9th
November.
Congratulations go to the Moa Patrol who
took out several honours over the weekend.
Moa Patrol led by Hamish Ferguson had an
impressive win by 85 points. The camp
was held at Rouse Farm, Hukerenui, where
patrols needed to provide their own shelter,
food and toilet facilities. There were 8
patrols competing to gain the very prized
Kudu horns, a very prestigious Scouting
trophy. There were eight troops from
Northland presenting their skills to a panel
of judges. The patrols were judged against
their documentation, food, pioneering
skills, camp structure, general scouting
knowledge and ability to work together. A
notable individual award went to Hamish
Ferguson for his leadership skills. We are
so very proud of our patrol given that we
have only been a troop for one year. This is
an amazing achievement for our Scouts. As
leaders we could not be prouder.
Our participating Scouts were: Hamish
Ferguson, Patrol Leader; Tyler Young,
Assistant Patrol Leader; Neitana Blissett,
Jade Tornquist, Toni Tornquist and Liam
Leslie–Sutton.
The Takahe Patrol competed at the Le Roy
Campcraft competition at Shakespeare
Reserve on the 15th and 16th November
and won Gold status for Campcraft They
came second overall in the Maharani Zone
competition. Fantastic achievement for
these wonderful young people.
Oh so Proud
It is so rewarding when
something you do, goes so far. Often like
other volunteers you think - am I making a
difference. This letter was forwarded to
me by our Group Leader Bruce Ferguson.
This is what makes me want to give my
time and my energy to our youth. With so
many other opportunities available to
young people today can Scouting make a
difference. I think it can, Scouting
provided young people the opportunity to
have fun, be brave and learn new skills. It
provides a wonderful environment to learn
about our bush, to be responsible, to care
for others. As a Scout Leader I am so very
proud of our Scouts and Cubs and the way
they represent us in the community. These
young people are the leaders of the future.
~Jenny
Letter from Sara McAulay:
Today at school, at 11.00 am, we
gathered
under
the
flagpole
to
commemorate ‘Remembrance Day’.
We had a group of your Scouts lower and
raise the flag, as the Last Post played.
I was MOST impressed with the way the
Scouts showed such respect for ‘the flag’
and the sombreness of the occasion. Their
salute at the end, to the flag, was
particularly poignant, and many of the
Non Scouts followed suit, and saluted as
well.
As a past Leader, and District
Commissioner, I would have been most
proud to have these young people under
‘my watch’. Congratulations to the
present Leaders, and the Scouts, who
could step up and accept the challenge –
and do such a great job!

The next book swap is fast
approaching. Now is the time to get in

us as usual. On Tuesday 2 December a
group of us will be taking our current
Dargaville books back to the public
library, and choosing our new
selection. They should be on the
shelves ready to borrow the next day.
Holiday closing
The library's last session for 2014 will
be on Monday 22 December, 4 to 6pm.
Come in and choose some books for
your holiday reading before we close,
so you don't miss out. We reopen on
Monday 5 January 2015, again 4 to
6pm, then back to our usual hours -
Monday
4-6pm,
Wednesday
to
Saturday 10am-2pm; closed on public
holidays.
Book reviews
The Lost by Claire McGowan.
Forensic psychologist Paula Maguire
left Northern Ireland many years ago,
intending to never return. But she is so
successful at what she does in London
at the Missing Persons'
Unit, she's been seconded
to help set up a new cold
case review team based
in her old home town,
reinvestigating missing
people cold cases from
all over Ireland; there are
plenty to be getting on
with, what with the
troubles and all. But
there are two more recent
cases that takes priority -
two teenaged girls in the
vicinity of her home
town, one a Catholic
schoolgirl who has been
missing a week, the other
a young traveller who no
-one realised was gone
until three weeks had
passed by. How do they
connect to each other,
and
to
other
disappearances
from
nearly 30 years ago?
Paula has her own way of
doing things, which don't
always meet with the
approval of her superiors
on the force. And she has
her own demons and
ghosts to face, as she
returns to her father's home (her mother
having gone missing when she was a
kid) and faces her old school friends
who she left without a goodbye all
those years ago. Old wounds that have
never properly healed. It all makes for
an interesting journey...
I really enjoyed this novel, not just the
solving-the-cases side of it, but the
setting in modern-day Ireland and all
that means with its recent history, as
well. This book is on the Large Print
shelves until April 2015.
Northanger Abbey by Val McDermid.
Catherine Morland (Cat to her friends)
is a young middle-class girl, the home-
schooled daughter of a vicar and an ex-
school teacher, waiting for life to
happen. Only, nothing ever happens in
Piddle Valley, Dorset. Until her
neighbours, the wealthy Allens, invite
her to the Edinburgh Festival to keep
Susie company while Mr Allen works
his highly-successful London's West
End theatrical-seeking business there.
And then life starts to happen rather
quickly. Susie runs into an old school
friend Martha - who's daughter Bella
claims to be a good friend of Cat's
older brother Jamie (James to his
family). It's a very small world, you
know. And her son John quickly takes a
liking to Cat, much to Cat's dismay as
he's quite a bore. Meanwhile Cat meets
the delicious Henry at a Scottish
Country Dancing lesson, taken to
prepare herself for one of the dances
she'll be attending with Susie, and can't
stop thinking about him.
Only
John
dislikes
Henry and does his best
to put her off.
Sounds familiar? If
you've read the original
Northanger Abbey by
Jane Austen, it might.
This book is part of the
"Austen
Project", a
modern realisation of
the classic novels. I've
not read any, but I've
seen plenty of film and
tv productions of them
to recognise some of the
quaint language and
settings in this book.
Despite the occasional
'quaintness'
in
the
language and settings,
which while a bit
different to what you
might expect in a
modern romance novel
fits perfectly in this
story, this is a lovely
book that I enjoyed
immensely. I have no
hesitation
in
recommending it. By the
way, if you're expecting
a
'normal'
Val
McDermid book based on thrills and
murder mystery, you'll be greatly
disappointed as there is none of that.
But read it anyway, you'll enjoy it too, I
expect. This book is on the Rental
Fiction shelves, due to be moved to the
free shelves in July 2016.
Happy reading!
Wendy .

OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL
Imaginative designs in Textile
Technology
Eri Kojima
is
an
international
student from
Japan who
is attending
our school
for the year.
She had
not
done
any sewing
before.
Starting this
the year she
made
herself
a
complete
costume to
wear when
playing in
an
all-girl
band.
She
used a basic
pattern
to
make the pink dress and then the
jacket, but as she went along, she
changed the pattern to the vision she
had in mind for her creation. The
panelled skirt was all made up from a
picture she had seen. Eri also designed
more ideas of what the costumes could
look like.
Arts Prefect
Anna-Marie
Southern
was
announced
Arts
Prefect for 2015
at our recent senior
prize giving. Her
first task next year
will be forming a
committee to work
with her and help
divvy up the tasks
on the ‘to do’ list
for next year. Our Arts prefect was a
recent innovation and we think a
worthwhile compliment to the student
body. Jim Bokma held that position
this year and will be known in OTA
history as the first! The team promotes
the arts in school assemblies, through
writing articles in the newsletter and
attending and working behind the
scenes in various arts events. We think
it is very important that the Arts
department (Art, Music, Drama, Maori
Performing Arts) get to hear the
student voice, and we want to cultivate
that as much as possible.

Your ‘natural’ choice in animal health care
William was born in 1887 to Frederick
and Annie Shelton. He had three
siblings – Frederick, Rose and Robert.
He was single, working with Ben Birt
in Mareretu, when he enlisted with the
7
th
Reinforcement, Auckland Infantry
Battalion leaving Wellington on the 9
th
October 1915 heading to Suez, Egypt.
His older brother Fred, Ponsonby, was
noted as his next of kin.
William died from wounds 12
th
July
1917 that he received in Belgium.
“AUCKLAND WEEKLY NEWS 26
th
July 1917
SHELTON 12 July 1917, died of wounds,
General Hospital, Rouen, France, William
Wynyard Shelton, second s/o F Shelton,
Harding Street. [AWN 26.07.1917]”
Yet William’s obituary reads "
Private
W. W. Shelton, died of wounds on August
12, was the second son of Mr. F. Shelton,
of Hardinge [sic] Street. He was a native of
Auckland, and was educated at Nelson
Street School. He was 29 years old, and
had been working in the Kaiwaka district
for several years before going to the front
with the seventh reinforcements. His elder
brother, Private Fred. Shelton, who went
with the fourteenth reinforcements, was
wounded at the Somme last October, and
is now at Codford Camp." (Auckland
Weekly News, 20 September 1917, p. 19)
He is buried at St Sever Cemetery
Extension, Rouen, France.
William’s brother, Frederick Shelton,
Private, Serial No. 14494, a timber
worker listed his sister, Mrs Rose
Howard of Ponsonby as his next of kin.
He was single, and was with the
Embarkation Unit 14th Reinforcements
Auckland
Infantry
Battalion,
A
Company, leaving on 26 June 1916
from
Wellington,
destined
for
Devonport, England. Fred was serving
with the New Zealand Machine Gun
Corps, No. 1 Company, when he died
of wounds in France on 10 November
1918 (the day before Armistice Day)
and is buried in the Etaples Military
Cemetery.
Sadly William’s youngest brother,
Robert, died from spinal injuries after
he had been dragged by his horse on
his farm in Kaharoa, Rotorua, in 1924,
aged 35.
During
the
First
World
War,
Commonwealth camps and hospitals were
stationed on the southern outskirts of
Rouen. A base supply depot and the 3rd
Echelon of General Headquarters were also
established in the city.
Almost all of the hospitals at Rouen
remained there for practically the whole of
the war. They included eight general, five
stationary, one British Red Cross, one
labour hospital, and No. 2 Convalescent
Depot. A number of the dead from these
hospitals were buried in other cemeteries,
but the great majority were taken to the city
cemetery of St. Sever. In September 1916,
it was found necessary to begin an
extension.

PAPAROA A&P SHOW
ONLY 70 DAYS TO GO
The Paparoa A&P Show is now in its
139th year. Generations of North
Kaipara people have kept the Show
alive and well over all these years
maintaining
its
heritage
of
connecting people to rural activities.
Preparations are frantically being made
with everything on-track.
Painting is happening. The Shear ing
Shed, Spectators Stand and Water Tank
are getting a fresh look and the Show is
in the final stages of negotiation with a
well-known Company to sponsor the
repairing and painting of the Goat
Pavilion. The new paint colours chosen
will integrate with other recently
painted buildings and the forthcoming
signage.
Sports Pavilion driveway The ar ea
around the Sports Pavilion was in need
of a make-over. This has been made
possible through the efforts of
Battensby
Brothers
and
Powell
Contracting combined with a very
generous donation of metal from Atlas
Quarries. Operating with very modest
financial resources the Show relies on
support from local people and
organisations. A big thank you to our
contractors and Atlas.
Signage has been appr oved. In
November the Show gained full
approval to erect its signs knowing that
it will comply with current regulations
about signs. Off-road sites on private
property have been secured for the 12
new road signs that will be up from
mid-December until after Show Day.
Positive feedback has been r eceived
about
the
new
website
and people
are starting to use the new email
addresses promoted on the website.
Gate prizes will be given at the 2015
Show. The first 500 people to enter the
gates will be in the draw to win free
gate prizes. The biggest of these so far
is a brand
new
household
water pump
donated
by
McQuinn
Pumps from
Whangarei
valued at $975.00. Plus there will be
many more – at least 50, maybe 100.
New membership offer: Equestrian,
Cattle and Dairy Goat exhibitors are
being offered a new class of
membership with provides a 25%
discount on their entry fees and free
entry to the Paparoa A&P Show plus
11 other Northern Districts Shows.
Deadlines coming up. 30
th
November
is the date that Sponsor’s pledges
should be paid by. 12
th
December is the
last day for Stall Holders to be eligible
for their Early Bird discount of 5% off
site fees.
Volunteers
The
Show
needs
volunteers to help between now and
Showday. This year’s Canterbury A&P
Show had 500 but little old North
Kaipara will obviously have much less.
Can you help? It’s a great opportunity
to meet new people and to contribute to
a valuable community activity as well
as preserving a tradition - 2015 will be
the 139
th
Paparoa A&P Show. To
discuss how you may be able to get
involved please call Gary Christie (09)
431 6011.
The 139th
