END OF AN ERA

xxxxxxxxx 7.30am-6.30pm

xxxxxxxxx 8am-5pm

Rowena  Dowson  has  retired
from  her  business  at  the
Kaiwaka  Postal  Centre,  where
she  has  been  the  proprietor  for
15 years.

Prior to that, she worked part-

time  for  Gail  Leabourn  in  the
postal centre,  and    also  with  her
husband  in  the  area’s  rural  mail
delivery.

Rowena  says  the  dynamics  of
post  have  changed  over  the
years, with the letter count down
and  the  parcel  count  up,  and
more  people  living  in  the
district.

Space has been at a premium
behind the counter for some time
now - rural areas have been

bucking  the  national  trend  in
mail deliveries. Rowena saw the
need  to  expand  the  business
which  would  entail  a  number  of
changes,  and  decided  it  was  not
for  her  and chose  instead  to  sell
and retire.

The ways of working have
changed, too, eg all LTSA
transactions

are

now

computerised, where once it
was all manual paper work

Rowena  thanks  her  customers,
and  is  looking  forward  to  her
retirement, where once she’s had
a  bit  of  a  holiday  she  plans  to
indulge in her hobbies and spend
time with family.

Rowena has been part of the
Kaiwaka community for more
than forty years, including many
hours

helping

compile

‘Kaiwaka - a photographic

History’, and being involved
with the local schools when her
children were attending.

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSN

Gymnastics Otamatea

Our

gymnasium

was

packed on Tuesday with

supporters  who  came  to

using

the

equipment and watching
them have so much fun
together

families.

allowin

g children to enjoy a sport they might not otherwise
be able to experience. If you would like to enrol your
child in gymnastics next year, please visit our

The family of talented cook, Hassan Kadam,
has  a  life  filled  with  both  culinary  delights
and profound loss. Drifting through Europe
after  fleeing  political violence  in India  that
killed  the  family  restaurant  business  and
their mother, the Kadams arrive in France.
Papa Kadam is inspired to set up an Indian
restaurant  in  a  small  town,  unfortunately
putting  the  Kadams  in  direct  competition
with  the  snobbish  Madame  Mallory's
acclaimed  haute  cuisine  establishment

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

Book Swap

The  Dargaville  book  swap  is  done  and
dusted for another six months. Many thanks
to  everyone  who  took  part,  you  made  it  a
great  day.  Come  on  in  and  take  a  look  at
the  new  titles  -  there's  something  for

everyone, including some DVDs for kids
and adults.

Holiday Reading Program

We're  taking  part  in  the  Kaipara  District
holiday  reading  program.  Information  will
be  sent  to  Kaiwaka  School  before  they
finish for the year, or come in to the library
and  ask  about  it  in  the  week  before
Christmas (I'm still working out our details
as  I  write  this!).  It's  open  to  all  kids,  so
visitors  to  the  district  and  anyone  else  are
welcome  to  take  part.  You  (or  rather,  your
parent  or  guardian)  don't  need  to  be  a
library  member  to  take  part,  but  you  do  if
you wish to borrow our books.

Bolinda BorrowBox

Have you used our online service for audio
and e-books yet? Our district has signed up

to another service in addition to Overdrive,
which we're anticipating will start in the
week before Christmas, and will be easier
to use than Overdrive (no installing a third-

party program that you have to register and
log in to!). Ask for information when
you're in the library - we've got some cards

and flyers to give away that tell you how to
use it. All you need is a PIN set on your
library card; you can do that at the library.

Holidays Hours

Our last day for this year is Monday 22
December 4-6pm, then we reopen on

Monday 5 January, also 4-6pm, then we

resume

normal

hours

10am-2pm

Wednesday-Saturday, 4-6pm Monday,

closed public holidays.

Joining the library

Any  adult  living  in  Kaiwaka  can  join  the
library.  There  is  no  charge,  as  we  receive
funding  from  Kaipara  District  Council  (so
this is  your rates in action!). Two forms of
identification  are  required,  one  being  a
personal  identification  that  has  your  name
and  signature  (such  as  an  NZ  driver's
licence or a Community Services Card), the
other  being  a  proof  of  address  that  is  no
more than three months old (eg a power or

telephone bill, or a letter from a recognised
government  authority  such  as  WINZ).
Bring  these  two  forms  of  ID  in,  fill  in  our
form and sign it in the library, and you can
begin  borrowing  that  day.  With  your
permission,  your  family  can  use  your
library  card;  you  are  responsible  for  any
charges  (ie  lost  or  damaged
items)

incurred

your

account.

Book Reviews

Great

Deliverance

Elizabeth

Meet

Detective  Sergeant  Barbara
Havers,  30  years  old,  frumpy,
and back in uniform and on the
streets  after  failing  to  get  on
with  everyone  at  CID.  And
after eight months of that, she's
pulled  back  to  be  paired  with
that  sodding  little  fop  Lynley.
How could they do that to her?
Clearly they're trying to get rid
of  her  once  and  for  all,  and
she's not going to have a bar of
it - she'll show them what she's

capable of! But Webberley, the
super,  has  other  ideas  and
thinks she has learned from her
experiences,  and  Lynley  might
just  be  the  one  to  sort  her  out
and  make  something  of  her  -

much  to  his  boss  Hillier's
dismay.  And  so  her  first  task,
having  been  assigned  this
partnership  on  a  Saturday
afternoon,  is  to  fetch  the  said
Lynley

from

Chelsea

wedding

party,

back

Scotland  Yard  to  be  briefed
about the case before they head
for  Yorkshire  to  investigate.
She  is  mortified  to  have  to  go
to  such  an  elegant  place,  to  a
wedding  no  less,  in  her  horrible  ill-fitting

uniform and face all these elitists in their
perfect setting.

Now, if like me you've seen the tv series or
read some of the other books in this series,
every name mentioned here will be familiar
to you already, though the situation may
not sound like the characters you know.

But  this  is  where  it  all  started,  before
Lynley  and  Havers  (and  Simon,  Deborah
and  Helen)  were  the  tight  team  that  we've
come  to  love.  It  does  not  disappoint  for  a
moment. This is the first in the currently 18

-book Inspector Lynley series, with another

due out next year. I've read several later

books already, mostly in no
particular order and enjoyed
them just fine that way - but

if you've never read any I do
recommend  starting  at  the
beginning  so  you  see  the
progression  of  events  and
character  development.  I'm
going  to  be  doing  that  from
now  on  as  the  books  are
available  at  the  library  and
desperately  try  to  forget
what  I  know  about  what's
going  to  happen  in  the
future.  This  book  is  on  the
Rental  Fiction  shelves,  due
to  be  moved  to  the  free
shelves in July 2016.

The Beckoning Ice by Joan

Druett.  Wiki  Coffin  is  still
with  the  US  Exploring
Expedition,  sailing  south  in
the  Atlantic  Ocean  heading
for  Cape  Horn  -  a  most

dangerous stretch of water
for any boat - heading for

the

Pacific.

The

fleet

encounter  a  sealer  returning
to  the  eastern  US  seaboard,
whose  captain  reports  the
discovery  of  a  body  on  an
iceberg  they  passed,  clearly
murdered  from  the  wounds
that  could  be  seen  as  they
slipped  past  in  the  murky
fog.  As  a  sworn  sheriff's
deputy  Wiki  is  included  in

the small party  to  which the tale is told, to
be  investigated  by  him  as  the  opportunity
arises.  But  others  have  their  own  ideas,
including  the  rescued  sealers  on  board
wanting to know where that other boat had
been so they too can profit from the riches
to  be  found.  And  others  have  their  own
ideas  about  where  the  fleet  should  be

heading. Wiki once again finds his
life - and the lives of others - put at

risk with no help to be found
outside of the fleet, and must save
himself if he can.

This is the fifth book in the Wiki
Coffin series, and I am still
enjoying it - and wishing there was

more, but at this point in time I see
no  sign  of  a  sixth  title.  I
recommend  reading  this  series  in
order  as  they  progress  in  time,  and
sometimes  less  than  a  day  has
passed  between  the  end  of  one
book and the start of the next. This
book  is  on  the  Rental  Fiction
shelves until July 2015 when it will
move to the free shelves.

Season's Greetings

Many thanks to the volunteers who
have put their time in to making the
library  the  great  place  it  is  this
year.  And  to  our  library  members
who  come  in  to  get  books  and
share stories with us.

See you in the library!

KAIWAKA
WEATHER

Here I am reporting for the last time for
2014 for you. We have had a very

windy and blustery month this year. I

would have liked a bit more sunshine
as I am sure all would have. There has

been a lot of time the weather has felt
like true September weather. It has

been  rather  cold  at  times  and  even
though  we  are  getting  sunshine  that
wind is sure cooling.  It would be good

if it went away for a while.

For November we had 117mm rain and
for 2013 we had 72mm. That rain over
16

, 17

and 18

was welcome. We

got 88mm over those three days.

The  wettest  November  since  1987  was
1999  with  340mm  and  the  driest  was
1994 with 20mm.

This year from January to end of
November we had 1556mm and for last
year we had 1096mm. Our wettest 11

months since 1987 was 2008 with
1645mm and the driest was 1994 with

884mm.

Well, here is wishing you all a Merry

Christmas and a Happy New Year
filled

with

lots

fun

and

laughter. Take care on the roads out

there and keep your speed down. If

you think you will be late heading off
to where you are going leave a quarter
hour earlier. It saves a lot of stress and

frustration.

Looking

forward

reporting to you next year.

ZONTA

Scholarship Winner

At their monthly meeting on

Monday 24th November, Sue Poynter on
behalf  of  the  Zonta  Club  of  Mangawhai
presented the 2014 "Spirit of Adventure"
Scholarship  to  Briar  Lomas  (pictured
top).  Briar  has  also  just  been  appointed
Head  Girl  at  Otamatea  High  School.
Currently sitting school exams, Briar has
chosen to go on her voyage in April 2015
after which she will be reporting back to
the  Mangawhai  Zonta  Club  of  her
experience.  The  club  wishes  her  a  great
voyage  and  looks  forward  to  hearing  all
about it.

Zonta Says No

As part of the 16 days of Activism (25th
November  to  10th  December)  for  the
"Zonta  Says  No"  campaign  against
Gender/Family  violence,  the  Zonta  Club
of  Mangawhai  held  an  Awareness/
Information  Evening  in  the  Mangawhai
Village Hall on Weds 26th November.

Jan  Barnett  opened  the  meeting  and
introduced  representatives  from  the
following  local  agencies  who  all  spoke
about their organizations:-

•

SOS – Crisis Intervention and Advocacy

for women and children survivors of
family and sexual violence

•

Hestia Women’s Refuge

•

Te Rito Champions

•

Police

Domestic

Violence

Prevention

Nicole Walker (pictured  bottom)  is  one
of 11 Te Rito Champions. The young 24
year  old  spoke  about  her  reasons  for
becoming  a  Champion  and  what  their
role  will  be  in  the  community.  All  11
have  been  going  through  Police  Vetting
and  training  in  order  to  become  a  first
port  of  call  for  anyone  facing  family
violence issues. They are to be the link in
the chain to all the other support organizations and they held a ceremony on 11th
November to mark the start of their work.

Liz Holsted (Area 1 Zonta Director) remarked "the evening will be a catalyst for
better communication between all groups and as such was a very worth while
meeting. I'd like to see this as a yearly event".

Liz also spoke on the alliance between Zonta and the Sophie Elliot Foundation
for the next two years with Zonta fundraising for the purchase of the book
"Loves-Me-Not" to be used in school courses for both teenage boys and girls to

determine the difference between good and bad relationships. The book is now
available to buy from all good bookshops but as part of the course will be given
to each boy and girl attending.

TUX HANDY DOG

Yes,  that  time  of  the
year  has  come  around
again,  to  be  hosted  by
our

local

club

Molesworth,

the

Hastie farm Otioro Road Topuni.
Sunday the 11th January 2015.

The entries are already coming in for
this popular event, some new faces
along with a strong line up of regulars.

One  local  dog  has  wintered  extremely
well,  so  much  so  that  he  had  trouble
fitting down the race at a recent event at
Taupo.  Perhaps  a  course  with  ‘Jenny
Craig’ could help Hail!

We will be having hands-on practice

evenings, without the pressure of
having to compete in front of a gallery.
Look forward to seeing you on the 11th,
all day, refreshments available.

Please  remember  all  dogs  must  have  a
current  dosing  certificate.  For  more
information  contact  Tony  Hargreaves
4312 045 or Rob Hastie 4312 192.

In April Molesworth will be hosting the
Northland  Centre  champs  at  Rakiki
Oneriri  Road.  This  will  be  the  sixth
time  we  have  hosted  this  event  in  our
66  years  and  the  50th  trials  on  the
present site.                     ~Rob H.

TOP OF THE ROCK

The Kaiwaka Sports Association's fifth

annual multi-sport event, the Top of the

Rock, will be held on Sunday 8th

February.

The event caters for walkers, runners

and mountain bikers, both recreational

and competitive as there are a range of

options:

• 5km or 10km walk or run

• 10km run + 15km mountain bike ride

• 30km mountain bike

Routes

travel

through

some

Kaiwaka's most scenic countryside –

bush, lakes and farmland. And you get

the opportunity to climb iconic

Baldrock Mountain, which is easier

than the daunting view from the road

suggests, as there is a well formed track

which spirals around the mountain.

You don't need to be concerned about

your fitness level as there is no time

limit on completing the events and they

even have marshals in utes following

the tailenders who will give you a ride

back if you get tired! Participants of all

ages enter Top of the Rock, from pre-

schoolers upwards – last year the $50

prize for the oldest participant went to

an 83 year old!

TV3's Brendon 'Money Man' Johnson

will host the prizegiving with prizes for

placegetters as well as lots of great spot

prizes, including a mountain bike

sponsored by My Bike in Whangarei. A

raffle will also be drawn for a

lawnmower, kindly donated by Steve

from

Kaiwaka

Motorcycles.

The

organisers are very appreciative of the

support from all sponsors, particularly

major sponsors Jaques Four Square and

Borck Contracting.

Last year there were over 300

participants and they are hoping to

build on that number this time. Entry

forms can be downloaded from

www.kaiwakasports.co.nz or can be

picked up from:

• Jaques Four Square

• Kaiwaka Motorcycles

• Skeltons Drapery, Paparoa

• Mangawhai Vet Centre

• Wellsford Sports & Leisure

WW1: Letter from Bill to Richard

A year before Bill, WW Shelton-see Bugle 23, died of

wounds  in  France  he  wrote  to  Richard
(Dick)  Leslie  who  was  serving  in
Palestine,  along  with  Charlie  and  Keith
Leslie. Dick’s son,  Bill  Leslie, notes there
were  several  Bills  serving  -  Bill  Leslie,

Bill Cameron, Bill Williams who was
killed as was Charlie Stanaway and Arch.
McAlpine.

Hotel de Dug Out.

Somewhere in France. 27-7-1916.

Dear Richard, Just a few lines to try and get in touch with you boys again,

I wrote to Charlie some months ago but never heard whether he got it or

not. I had a letter from him some two weeks ago in which he mentioned

that he was in (and had been for some six weeks) the Cairo Hospital, says

that he told you to be sure and to write to me, but I never received a line,

just wait till I get hold of you young man, you can’t imagine how I look

forward to a few lines from you boys, and when I caught sight of Charlie’s

letter, I nearly went off my rocker, he must have had a pretty crook time

Dick, and surely he will get a trip back to N.Z., now. He seemed to be

worrying about his chances of getting with you again which he thought

were rather small, however I hope if he does not get a trip home, he will

have no trouble getting with you again, we have had some rare

excitement at times since arriving in the trenches, cousin Bills [William

Quinn Leslie] lot were in a hot spot for a while, I enquired about Bill and

heard he was alright, have just got wind that their lot have moved down

close to us so you can bet your life I am off right now to try and locate him,

I haven’t seen him for over a month, I intend to take Charlie’s letter along

in case he has not heard from you boys, I have carried Chas letter in my

tunic ever since I received it, in case I should run into Bill. Billy Williams

[Mangawhai] should be here now, but try as I might, the last time or two

we have been out, I could not locate him. Charlie Stannaway joined our

company some three weeks ago and the first thing asked on locating me

was, where is Dick? He looks A.1. in his uniform, and always is spick and

span and showed me photos of himself and his wife yesterday, says she

asked to be remembered to you and I, should he ever come across us. Herb

Turner is in England by this time I guess. He is in the Cycling Corps and

was to go there for three months training. Also Cyril Rodgers, my brother

Fred will be here soon, he is in the 13th rifles, guess all N.Z. will be here

before long, except those that got married to get out of coming eh!, ….

Hardy, Chucky, David T- and quite a few more have signed on, I get

quite a few letters from Mareretu, they tell me that Ben [Birt], had a

letter or two from you lately, Bennie is more than ever anxious to come

but I hope that he has more sense, what say you eh!. Charlie Stannaway

tells me that McAlpine went into camp with him, but he was put out,

forgot if he said his missus was the cause of it or not. Had a letter from your

Dad last mail, he seems to be getting along alright, they sent me a photo

of the house since it was done up and looks O.K., Your Mother will be

worrying about Charlie, but somehow I can’t think anything else he will

get a trip home, last letter I had was Keith was due home in a few days,

and Jack (Andrew John) and wife were going to Wellington to meet him,

guess he won’t be sorry to be home for a while, and wont he have a good

time. I hope he has better sense than to try and get away again although

he will find it most quiet with all the boys away. We have been close on

three months in the trenches and four in France, put in a certain time in

the trenches and then go out to rest billets for a short spell. I put in most of

my time trying to locate Billy Williams and Leslie but with the above

mentioned results, on one occasion I met cousin Bill out there and we put

in a good afternoon together. Guess I will have to bring this scribble to a

close now trusting [should I find you] that you will be in the best of

health, also Charlie if he is with you again and with all kinds of good

wish’s.

Believe me your affect Chum. Please be sure to drop me a few lines right

now. Bill [Shelton]

KAIWAKA FITNESS

Make It Easy To Succeed.

This is a focus in the Fitness Centre over
the coming month: an emphasis on starting
the New Year on an encouraging theme.

Behind  this  is  awareness  and  perceptions:
that  we  can  embark  on  crash  diets,  often
with  extreme  requirements  whereby  we
deny  ourselves  in  an  attempt  to  lose  in
weeks  what  has  taken  us  months  or  even
years to accumulate; that we join a Gym or
in this case our local Fitness Centre with an
image of a toned down physique, so we go
at  it  gung-ho,  only  to  lose  heart  when  the

physical  discomfort  wades  in.  I’ve  many  a
memory  where  a  younger  healthy  person
has set me a training programme that really
suits  them  or  another

mid-twenties

individual – and later I avoided them as I

knew  I  hadn’t  matched  THEIR  target.
When  I  focussed  on  my  intent  and  not
initially the details of the programme did I
make  progress  and  eventually  was  able  to
adhere  to  the  major  components  of  the
original schedule.

With this in mind in January next year, we
will  be  having  a  trial  whereby  people  who
are  not  current  members  and  who  register
with us will be able to access the Centre on
certain  days,  without  a  key  as  we  will  be
there  to  let  you  in.  For  $1  each  visit  you
will  be  able  to  use  the  treadmills  and
exercycles (only) and we will limit this to 4
in  each  group  and  would  suggest  no  more
than 15 – 20 minutes per session initially –

enough time if you’re new to exercise. This
can  increase  according  to  your  comfort
level.  More  than  one  group  is  fine  but  a
maximum  of  4  to  each  group  please.  We
are  suggesting  3  days  each  week  for  3
weeks  so  for  an  outlay  of  $9  (9  sessions),
you  may  be  able  to  get  a  start.  At  the
moment  the  intent  is  for  mid-week  only

although weekend may be possible, subject
to feedback.

We are having open days on 11-12

December  from  10am  to  11am  and  also
from 6pm to 7pm. We  will  have  forms for
you  to  register  your  interest  and  ask  any
questions.  We  hope  to  start  this  trial  on
Monday  12  January,  subject  to  feedback/
numbers  and  it  will  continue  until  the  end
of  January.  At  that  point  we  will  make  a
special  offer  available  for  Fitness  Centre
membership  until  renewal  in  May  2015.  If
you  can’t  attend  on  one  of  these  days,
please contact us:

kaiwaka.fitnesscentre@gmail.com

check the Centre’s Facebook  page. We are
especially  looking  for  those  who  wish  to
improve their fitness and/or health and who
may  not  know  where  to  start  or  just  need
companions.  We  can  talk  about  this  at  the
open days.

It  is  important  to  note  that  we  are  only
providing  access  to  the  Fitness  Centre;  we
do NOT offer training schedules nor do we
become involved in any health instructions.
This  is  not  a  training  programme.  We  will
be  there  to  enable  access  and  to  keep  you
company. We will be your ‘buddies’ whilst
you can explore this trial.

This is the last post  for this  year. We wish
you  a  safe  and  happy  Festive  Season  and
we’d really like to see some new faces next
year.                                  ~Michael

Year 10 Leadership

This  year  the  students  of  10E  have
been  lucky  enough  to  have  Leela
Hauraki  from  Sport  Northland  come
to  Otamatea  High  School  to  teach
them  about  Ki-o-Rahi.  This  game  is

native  to  New  Zealand  which  and  is
similar to rippa rugby where you have
to tag the opposition before they score
a  try.  At  the  start  of  Term  4  the
students

from

10E

went

Maungaturoto Primary School where
they taught the Year 5 and students
the

game

Ki-o-Rahi.

The

tournament  was  a  huge  success  and
the  10E  class  showcased  their
fantastic  leadership  skills.  Thank  you
to  the  students  and  teachers  of  the
Year  5  and  6  classes  at  the  primary
school  for  allowing  us  to  come  and
teach Ki-o-Rahi.

~Lana Parkinson

Māori Art Drawing Techniques

One of the courses offered in Term 4 was
Māori

Art

Drawing

Techniques

–

Kowhaiwhai.  This  course  was  delivered
by  Brian  Mitchell  from  Te  Wānanga  o
Aotearoa  and  is  part  of  the  school’s
initiatives to raise Māori achievement.

The  course  took  place  one  day  per  week
over  three  weeks  and  the  15  students  not
only  learned  about  kowhaiwhai,  they
gained

traditional

knowledge,

representation of identity and meaning.

Students  also  gained  4  credits  at  Level  2
and  have  the  opportunity  to  continue
into  Kawai  Raupapa  introduction  to
(Māori)  Art  Level  3  or  at
tertiary  level  undertake  Toi
Paematua – Diploma in Māori

Art Level 5.

Career opportunities from this
course  can      lead  to  a
practising  artist,  cultural  art
educator,  stage,  theatre  and
television

work,

and

restoration work.

The  course  proved  very
popular with the  students and
there  is  already  a  waiting  list
to get on the course next year.
An extension of this course is
the  Whakairo    which  will  be
offered  again  next.  year  to
those  who  completed  the
Kowhaiwhai course this year.

DECEMBER NIGHT SKY OVER KAIWAKA

Bulk Cartage

Hopefully by the time you read

this,  summer  has  arrived  and  with  it
clear skies and warm air, which are all
great conditions for stargazing. Now is
the  time  to  make  the  most  of  the
weather  conditions  and  learn  some  of
the  familiar  constellations  in  the  night
sky.  At  this  time  of  the  year  gazing  at
the  stars  happens  later  and  later  in  the
evening,  and  the  moonlight  does  help
to hide some of the stars, however you
don’t  have  to  wear  thermals  or  wet
weather gear (hopefully!).

To get started learning the summer sky,
there  are  some  key  landmarks  to  find.
First  look  north  and  find  the  three
bright stars  in  a line,  often  called  ‘The
Pot’. These stars make up Orion’s Belt,
one  of  the  most  distinctive  guides  of
the night sky.

Lower in the north you should pick out
the Gemini Twins, Castor and Pollux,
and from them the rest of the
constellation of Gemini.

The  four  moons  are  not  always  visible
because  some  may  be  in  front  of  the
planet,  behind  it  or  eclipsed  by
Jupiter’s shadow.

Extend  the  line  of  the  Belt  stars  to  the
right (east) and you will find Sirius, the
brightest star in the sky. Extending the
line to the left (west) from the Belt and
you  will  find  the  orange  star,
Aldebaran,  the  brightest  star  in  the
constellation  of  Taurus.  Continuing
that line further to the left and you will
find  the  beautiful  star  cluster  the
Pleiades  (Matariki).  Going  back  to
Orion’s  Belt,  identify  the  bright  stars
Rigel (white) and Betelgeuse (reddish),
which  are  respectively  above  and
below the Belt. Those two bright stars,
together with two slightly fainter ones,
enclose most of Orion with the Belt in
the middle.

Following  a  line  up  the  sky  through
Orion  towards  the  south  brings  you  to
Canopus,  the  second  brightest  star  of

the night sky. The final bright star to
locate is Achernar, marking the end of
the

meandering

constellation

Eridanus (the River).

Once you have located these bright
landmarks in the sky, you can explore
further by identifying some of the more
prominent constellations.

Canopus,  known  as  Atutahi  in  Maori,
is the second brightest star of the night
sky  and  dominates  our  view  overhead.
It  is  the  brightest  star  of  the  important
southern  constellation  Carina,  yet  is
distance  of  310  light-years  has  only

been reliably determined in the last 20
years.

VENUS

Venus  is  not  observable  during
December through February as it is too
close  to  the  Sun.  You  may  spot  it  low
on  the  western  horizon  (with  much
fainter Mars) soon after sunset.

MARS

This is not a good season to find Mars.
It is low in the west and setting early
during

December.

then

gets

progressively closer to the Sun, making
it unobservable through January and
February.

JUPITER

In Leo, Jupiter is rising about midnight
in mid-December and by 10pm in mid-

January.  It  reaches  opposition  with  the
Sun  on  7  February,  rising  just  as  the
Sun  sets.  This  will  be  the  best  time  of
the year for telescopic observations, as
Jupiter is highest above the horizon by
1am.  Just before  opposition,  the  planet
moves from Leo into Cancer.

SATURN

Saturn  is  just  visible  very  low  in  the
eastern dawn sky in December. It rises
earlier than the Sun by about two hours
each month, so by the end of February
it  is  rising  at  about  midnight.  It  makes
an  interesting  sight  in  the  head  of
Scorpius in company with the red giant
star, Antares.

Good News in December:

Each Sunday 10am and 7pm.

Saturday December 13 and Sunday December 14:

TEAM FROM KAWERAU

Amazing things are happening in Kawerau.

It is not the same place anymore. A young people's team is visiting

us this weekend and will let us know the GOOD NEWS.

Saturday December. 13, 7.00pm, at the Kaiwaka Memorial Hall.

Sunday 14 December , 10 am, at the Kaiwaka Family Church.

Christmas Family Service

Sunday 21 December, 10am.

This is our main Christmas meeting.

Children, young people, adults, all warmly welcome.

We at Kaiwaka Family Church send our best wishes for the

Christmas season and the New Year to everyone in our wonderful

Kaiwaka Community.

200 years ago this Christmas, Samuel Marsden, on Christmas Day 1814,
spoke to a large Maori audience in the Bay of Islands about the coming of
Jesus into the world. His text was “I bring you glad tidings of great joy.”
A chief called Ruatara was his translator.

Over the next few decades more and more tribes received the GOOD
NEWS, resulting in peace between the tribes. Slaves were released by their
captors, and proclaimed the GOOD NEWS to their own people in the
Waikato even before missionaries arrived there.

And  today  the  GOOD  NEWS  is  again  announced  all  over  the  world,
resulting  in  amazing  changes  in  a  number  of  countries,  changes  which  the
news  media  choose  to  ignore.  For  example,  did
you  know  that  Indonesia  is  now  25  percent
Christian?

And  we  are  happy  to  say  that  here  in  our  own
country  the  GOOD  NEWS  is    again  spreading.
People  are  less  and  less  satisfied  with their  lives.
They're looking for change, good change.

That is what's happening in Kawerau.

Nothing in life compares with knowing Jesus!

Have a wonderful Christmas! ~John Dekker
