KAIWAKA GOOD

SORT

Congratulations to Gale Matheson, the

latest recipient of our Kaiwaka Good

Sorts bunch of flowers from Lindy, the

Flower Girl

Dianne said “Gale organises the

knitting for the Whangarei hospital,

teaches Bible in schools, and of course

is our friendly and efficient Avon rep.

We appreciate your contribution to our

community so much, Gale.”

TARATAHI

STUDENTS

Pictured above: Taratahi agricultural

students graduating after 23 weeks,

learning everything farming plus life

skills, work ethic, driver’s licenses. All

have gone on to get jobs. Students come

from Mangawhai to Ruawai and

everywhere in between. From left are

Geri Webb, Shania Mackey, Sam

Gardiner, Tama Reid Oleary and James

Griggs. Their tutor is very proud of the

way they have all picked themselves up

and got working. Another course will be

run next year starting February for those

that want to give everything, from

beekeeping to building and all the

everyday things a farmer does, a go.

~Tracey Wildhaber, Taratahi tutor

KAIWAKA MEDIA GROUP

Annual General Meeting

Monday 18 January 2016

5:30pm

Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall

All Welcome

In September 2014, Kaipara District Council

undertook a Community Planning exercise with

members of the Kaiwaka community to identify the

positive things that make Kaiwaka a great place to

live, and any local issues. One of the issues expressed

was around vehicle speeds on the State Highway and

through the township.

Council has since been working with local

community group Kaiwaka Can, and the NZ

Transport Agency to get a better understanding of the

local issues, and to identify potential opportunities

that may change driver behaviour and enhance the

amenity of the road environment.

We would like your input on any additional areas of

concern, or potential opportunities for improvement

you think should be included. Maps, information

brochures and feedback boxes are located in four

locations around Kaiwaka; Jaques Four Square,

Kaiwaka Library, Three Furlongs Bar and Grill and

La Nonna Italian Bakery. Please take the time to look

over this information and let us know your thoughts

by Friday 18 December.

On behalf of Dean Phillips’ whanau we would like

Our love and thanks to every one of you. Dean’s

daughters Jo, Dallas and Sascha were overwhelmed

with the aroha shown to their father for the short

time he’d been home.

What a beautiful, caring community we live in.

Dargaville book swap

Thank you to everyone who took part

in the book swap last week - there were

10 people altogether, including two of

our former library team who have

moved away, but met us there for the

swap and a catch-up. With so many

involved it was a lightening-quick job,

meaning we all got home at a

reasonable time, with all the new books

processed and on the shelves ready to

be borrowed.

We haven’t set the date for the next

swap yet, but I expect it will be around

June next year. I’ll let you know closer

to the time.

The library team wish you a safe and

happy holiday season, whatever you’re

doing. ~Wendy

KAIWAKA/MANGAWHAI CUBS & SCOUTS

Congratulations to the Kaiwaka-

Mangawhai Scout patrols entered in the

Northland Campcraft competition at

Hukerenui, November 20-22. Moa

patrol led by Hamish Ferguson placed

second overall, and Takahe patrol led

by Liam Leslie placed fourth overall.

Moa

patrol

members:

Hamish

Ferguson, Neitana Blissett, Tyler

Young, Toni Tornquist, Matthew

Everson and Brenda Ferguson. Takahe

patrol members: Liam Leslie, Loren

Adams, Eliana Kerrigan, Mackay

Cormack, BJ Cormack, Tara Moyle,

and Beck Goodyear. Both patrols

included some first-time participants.

Campcraft is a huge event for the

Scouts, having to plan themselves a

whole weekend from establishing the

participants,

completing

documentation, meal planning, grocery

shopping, and collecting all equipment

needed, to arranging transport, setting

camp

correctly,

cooking,

presentation, teamwork and completing

all challenges – whilst being judged for

everything.

Among the many pennants both

Kaiwaka-Mangawhai

patrols

won

throughout the weekend’s judging,

notable achievements were the three

first placings for meals won by Takahe,

and

teamwork,

pioneering

and

leadership by Moa. This is the event

where all they have been taught by

their leader comes under the spotlight.

Well done Scouts – you were a credit

to Kauri, and made a great attempt to

bring the horns home two years

running.

Jobs / Help Needed

Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Cubs and Scouts

are heading off to Jamboree. It is 10

days of activities, challenges, fun and

friendship for Scouts and Cubs who in

2015 are in school years 5 to 9, from

New Zealand and around the world.

NZ21 Jamboree will be held at

Renwick near Blenheim 29 December

2016 to 7 January 2017.

Each child eligible needs to raise $100

themselves by February to secure a

place in the Jamboree Contingent that

will be made up of young people from

Kaiwaka-Mangawhai and Horahora

Scout Groups. The contingent has a

target of $50,000 to fundraise by

November next year. If you have any

jobs that you would be willing to pay

boys and girls currently aged between 9

and 13 to do, please contact Bruce

Ferguson Ph 431 2542 or email

blferguson@vodafone.co.nz to co-

ordinate it. The young people live

between

Oneriri

Station

and

Mangawhai Heads. Thank you to the

Mangawhai Club for generously

granting $10,000 towards the target.

Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Scouts and representatives of other community groups, receiving their share of the

$63,087.10 large cheque held by Mangawhai Club president Garry Mulligan ready for distribution in grants.

Cubs from Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Pack

loved their overnight camp in tents at

Tony

and

Lindsey

Hargreaves’

property November 28/29. Activities

included floundering, making and

using sling shots, a first aid scenario,

scavenger hunt, setting up tents,

constructing a dining shelter, flag pole,

washing up facilities and clothes lines

under the guidance of their leaders and

four experienced Scouts.

Tony and Lindsey, former Scouting

leaders, added a few special extra

dimensions by participating in the

evening campfire and giving a dog trial

demonstration Sunday morning – a

new experience for many children and

adults in the audience.

An interesting, varied year to date for

the Cubs has included target shooting,

beach trip, sport, swimming, first aid,

tents, compasses, pioneering, and

cooking – eggs over gas, international

masterchef, and the ever popular

pikelets over hobo stoves. Some Cubs

have also travelled to participate in

Zone

Founders

Day,

National

Mudslide, Hobby Show and JOTA/

JOTI (Jamboree on the Air/Internet).

The pack is in good heart, with 20-25

Cubs from Kaiwaka, Mangawhai and

Maungaturoto attending regularly, and

the investitures of new Cub leaders

Dalleise Jaques and Christopher Booth,

who join Paul Tornquist and Gene

Wintle.

At our house in November

we had 61mm of rain this

year (I know some of you out

Oneriri had at least 82mm). Last year

we had 117mm.

For the 11 months this year we had

1016mm and last year we had

1556mm. Our driest November was

1994 with 20mm and the wettest was in

1999 340mm.

We had 7 days with some kind of rain

in November this year and the same

time last year we had 11 days with rain.

We have had 540mm of rain less than

last year so far. That is nearly 5 and a

half inches in old terms.

I see the water tankers are very busy

already. Wishing you all a happy

festive season and until next year take a

lot of care out there. ~Bev

A Christmas joke or just to put you right. Did

you know that according to the song “Rudolph

the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, Santa has twelve

Reindeer? Sure, in the introduction it goes

“There’s Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and

Vixen. Comet and Cupid and Donner and

Blitzen....”. That makes eight Reindeer. Then

there’s Rudolph of course, so that makes nine.

Then there is Olive. You know, Olive the other

Reindeer used to laugh...”. That makes ten. The

eleventh Reindeer is Howe. You know, then

Howe the Reindeer loved him...”. Eleven

Reindeer. Oh and number 12? That’s Andy!

Andy shouted out with glee”. The proof is in the

song. Best wishes till next year. Bev.

Library News Term 4

We were lucky enough, earlier this

Term to receive a donation from the

Pahi Bookworms (a book club my

mother belongs to). The children from

Room 6 wrote amazing thank you

letters to them, and made a wish list of

some of the books they would like to

see me purchase for the Library.

Coupled with our bonus points

accumulated from the Scholastic Books

throughout the year, I’m pleased to say

I have bought many Geronimo Stilton,

Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants, Billy

B Brown, Ivy and Bean and others to

add to our shelves in 2016! How

exciting!!

As we count down to the end of the

year, can I ask please, that all

outstanding and overdue books are

returned to the library, so that they may

be checked in and tucked up ready for

next year! Happy reading. ~Sara

Kaiwaka Primary School would like to

give a massive thanks to local resident

and master craftsman Perry Allan for

his generous koha of bone carving

taonga for our kapahaka group to wear

at performances. Perry made these

especially for our students after seeing

a recent performance and we are very

appreciative and humble of this

amazing gift - we will have photos of

the pupils wearing these after they have

been blessed and worn at prizegiving

next week.

Kaiwaka Primary School pool is now

open for it's students to use. Pool keys

are now on sale for the community to

purchase for the swimming season

(entire details available at the school) at

the cost of $60 which includes a $10

refundable bond. Security camera

surveillance of the pool is now in place

due to a history of vandalism and

disrespecting the rules. The school is

open until the 15th of December for

enquiries.

People in Kaiwaka have been working

for many years to do something about

traffic speed through Kaiwaka. We are

part of State Highway One and for

many

people,

simply

brief

interruption to their trip north or south.

There have been petitions over the

years, meetings, representations, all

with little effect.

However we now seem to be making

some progress. Kaiwaka Can is the

community group set up over a year

ago by Kaipara District Council. As

one of its agenda items, we have been

looking at speed issues and other

difficulties caused by State Highway

One. Ruth Tidemann in particular has

collected over 900 signatures for a

petition presented to MP Winston

Peters. Council has also been working

hard on behalf of the district and this

has led to two very useful meetings

between NZTA and Council and

Kaiwaka Can. Police also attended the

first meeting to talk about enforcement

problems. At the second meeting,

NZTA presented a list of 29 issues that

they had heard from us in the petition

and at our meetings. It was a fine

summary of both the problems and the

possibilities. For example not only did

they note problems with speed,

pedestrian crossing, footpaths, parking

and signage, but they also noted that

there is room for a system of walkways

through the township that would

enhance our lifestyle. They talked of

signage not only in terms of a single

sign with the name of ‘Kaiwaka’ on it,

but the possibility of a gateway that

gave an idea of our heritage and the

nature of the town. They also spoke of

the effect of planting on speed, the

greener the zone, the gentler the speed

is likely to be.

All of this has now been spelt out in a

brochure produced by NZTA and

available in the town. Copies of the

brochures have been put in Jaques,

Three Furlongs, La Nonna and the

Library, along with a large map

spelling out the 29 issues identified.

The idea is that people have a couple of

weeks to study this and note any

omissions and offer any suggestions

they have. That then goes back to

NZTA who will come back in the New

Year to a public meeting with their

recommended solutions. We look

forward with interest to what they have

to offer and also express our gratitude

to NZTA and the Council staff who

have made this possible.

Make sure you get a copy of the

brochure and have your say and also

think about the possible future projects

in the town that arise out of this that

might be your sort of project.

Awards Night Wraps up Busy

Year

for

Zonta

Club

Mangawhai

On Monday, November 23, the Zonta

Club of Mangawhai presented their

Spirit of Adventure Awards to the two

2015 recipients of this annual event –

Aimee Stevens from Rodney College,

and Latina Te Awa from Otamatea

High School. Both these young women

were chosen from an impressive slate

of candidates after a rigorous process

of shortlisting and interviews, and they

now have the wonderful opportunity of

a fully funded 10 day Leadership

Voyage on the Spirit of New Zealand

to further develop their leadership

skills, make new friends and overcome

challenges.

These awards are enabled by the

generosity of the local community at

fundraising events organised by the

Zonta Club throughout the year. Save

the date in 2016 for a Midwinter

Christmas Ball on June 25th when the

inaugural winner of Zonta’s Second

Chance for Women Study Award will

be announced. Details for this award

will be available early in the new year.

On Saturday, November 28th, members

of the Mangawhai club will join with

Zontians from Whangarei and Hatea on

a ‘Zonta Says No’ walk protesting

against domestic violence. This walk is

in conjunction with the White Ribbon

and It’s Not OK Campaigns and also

highlights the national project of

support

for

the

Sophie

Elliot

Foundation.

At the AGM of Mangawhai Zonta on

Monday evening, past President Jan

Barnett passed the mantle of leadership

to incoming President Jan Fisher. The

Club welcomes new members and

would love to hear from you – contact

zonta@mangawhai.org.nz, like our

Facebook page for further information

or to come along to a meeting to hear

interesting speakers and meet new

friends.

Zonta Says No to

Violence

against

Women

On Saturday 28th

November 2015, the

Zonta

Club

Mangawhai and the

other 28 Zonta clubs throughout New

Zealand united with members of the

local community to make a stand

against gender based violence at

Whangarei Town Basin.

Launched in 2012, the “Zonta Says No

to Violence against Women” campaign

is a call to action to end violence

against

women

and

girls

communities around the world. Each

year, the campaign covers 16 days of

activism, from 25th November to 11th

December. Nearly 1,200 Zonta clubs in

67 countries unite at this time for this

very important cause.

Our club has worked with local

agencies and promoted the anti- family

violence message wherever possible.

We have held public meetings and have

made four life size orange female

figures with anti- violence messages

printed on them which we display at

most of our events. We have recently

made a resource for local workplaces

with contact details of local agencies.

“We are very excited to be part of this

national Orange March and hope that it

makes our community aware of the

terrible statistics that are still associated

with the issue of gender based

violence,” says Jan President of the

Zonta Club of Mangawhai

events across the world and learn more

ST JOHN’S OP SHOP

Back in July 2015 the Kaiwaka Drop

In Centre opened its doors as a

community initiative to provide a

social space for everyone. We are

based in the lounge at Kate’s Place

opposite the Cheese Shop on State

Highway 1.

The centre is open to all as a place to

meet, share resources, teach, learn,

have a cuppa, eat, use the wifi or the

printer, ask a question, listen, be

listened to; in fact whatever is needed

by the community. Run by Kaiwaka

Cares the Centre runs on the basis of

usage and from koha. The goal is for

the Centre to be a service for the

community

Kaiwaka

and

surrounding areas.

We are currently open Monday,

Wednesday and Fridays from 10am to

2pm. Kaiwaka Care's current team

have been running things since it

opened and we need more volunteers to

spread the workload.

Over the past six months we have run a

couple of ‘mini workshops’, hosted

meetings, been part of: the involvement

of community in ongoing Eutopia

sculptural work, the renewal of the

Kaiwaka community garden, the

Council /NZTA initiative to improve

Kaiwaka town centre and the

beginnings of a Community Safety

liaison with the police. Some of this

within our opening hours and some

outside of those hours when the Centre

is available for hire.

As it’s almost Christmas we would like

to issue an open invitation to all to our

Christmas

lunch

Monday,

December 14th at 12 o’clock at the

centre. Bring a plate if you are able, if

not then am sure there will enough to

share. We will have a suggestion book

Another year gone by! We

have a decorated a Xmas tree

with lights, lots of Xmas

decorations plus new Xmas

presents. A whole lot of new stuff out,

including plants (yellow canna lillies),

$1 clothes rack, a single bed &

mattress.

Wanted: cooking pots, towels, and

anything else. Plastic bags.

Thank you to the many people who

support and help us. I might forget

someone so I won’t say any names.

The shop will close 24th December

4pm and open 29th to 31st December.

Open Tuesday 5th January for the new

year.

Our Christmas Hamper Raffle was won

by Tracey, ticket No 098.

Thank you everyone for buying a

ticket.

The staff and I would like to

wish everyone a Merry

Xmas & Happy New Year.

Santa is coming!

Our Ready, Steady, Wriggle preschool

activity classes have been very popular,

and our Christmas Party is coming up

soon! After a fun morning of games

and activities in our gymnasium, Santa

will arrive to spend some time with us

and then we will have a shared

morning tea. This will be next

Wednesday 16

at 10am. All welcome,

please bring a plate to share. Queries to

Tina Ball on 021 033 5128.

Top of the Rock

Our 6

annual multi-sport event Top of

the Rock will be held on Sunday 14

February. Entry forms will be on our

website

www.kaiwakasports.co.nz

shortly.

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

14km or 30km mountain bike route

plus, new this year, a fun bike course

for under 10 year olds

Routes travel through some of

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.

TV3's Brendon 'Money Man' Johnson

will host the prizegiving with prizes for

placegetters plus lots of great spot

prizes, including a mountain bike

sponsored by Bike Mangawhai. Gotta

be in to win!

Who is keen for Basketball?

I'm thinking of running a basketball

module, in our gymnasium probably on

Sunday afternoons for 6 weeks or so.

I'm wanting to gauge interest to see if

there would be enough people keen to

play.

If you're interested, please let me

know.

Thank you

Many thanks to all the Kaiwaka Sports

Association committee members and

club committee members who have

worked hard throughout the year to

provide sporting and recreational

opportunities for our community.

On behalf of the Kaiwaka Sports

Association I'd like to wish everyone a

Merry Christmas and a Happy New

Year.

continued

Fifty years ago - a Saturday in December 1965 - I attended

the closing of the Parekura Maori School and I took some

photos - the one below has survived!

Parekura Maori School was built on the southern shore of

the Otamatea River following a truly sad tragedy. Children

from the Oneriri area were rowed across the Otamatea River

to attend school at Tanoa, but sadly on 18 October 1943 the

boat overturned and six children were drowned [Ref. Papers

Past - there are a number of NZ Herald and Auckland Star

articles from 19 October 1943, searching under ‘Tanoa’].

A new school at Parekura opened in 1951 with a

headmaster’s house, a large single classroom, shelter shed

and toilet block. Page 22 of Kaiwaka - a Photographic

History shows a number of photos of the Parekura School

pupils, including a large photo of them all - some you might

recognise! I remember this school as been beautifully kept

and being a happy place - for me winter indoor sports

evenings were a real pleasure.

Many may remember the last principal - Reuben Clarke.

Reuben was also the player coach of our Eastern rugby

team (fore-runner to Hawks

Otamatea rugby). Reuben Clarke

was a Maori All Black in 1952,

1954, 1955 & 1956 (the Maoris

didn't play any games in 1953). He

played 15 games for them. He also

played 46 games for North

Auckland from 1952 to 1957; he

was player coach for Eastern Red

for several years and was the last

coach of the Otamatea sub union

side in 1965 - a year when they

both won and then lost the Harding Shield.

Reuben moved to the Auckland area after his time in

Kaiwaka. His two sons, TeRau and Teina Clarke also

played for the Maori All Blacks in 1984 and a number of

years for Counties. His daughter, TeAroha Keenan, was a

Silver Fern. And grandson, Tamati Clarke, played under 19

cricket for New Zealand. ~ Lindsey

CHRISTMAS LUNCH

Monday December 14 Noon

@ Kate’s Place, 1960 SH1, Kaiwaka

Christmas wouldn’t be Merry without you!

Bring yourself, bring a friend,

bring a plate if you wish ...

what is most important is that you are there.

09 4312 661 or caring4kaiwaka@gmail.com

WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS

e event we call "Christmas" is to celebrate the fact that

God loved us so much that He sent His only Son to be our

Saviour.

The manner in which God sent His Son teaches us a lot.

First, Jesus came in a humble way- not to the privileged

people, but to the poor and needy, and to a cattle shelter.

This fact has always appealed to the millions in the world

who have little influence or means.

Second, He came in fulfilment of many prophecies given

over centuries before, that the Messiah-Redeemer WOULD

come. So many of these prophecies were fulfilled exactly in

Christs' birth and life that co-incidence has to be totally

ruled out!

Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be.

Third, Jesus came miraculously, for He was virgin born,

being conceived by the Holy Spirit. Centuries before, the

prophet Isaiah had said that the virgin would conceive and

bear a son and call His Name Emmanuel which means "God

with us".

Fourth, He was born to die as our Redeemer and Saviour.

The shadow of the cross lies over the cradle. Jesus Himself

was well aware of the purpose of His coming among us as a

man. He said of Himself, "The Son of Man is come to give

His life as a ransom for many." Christmas only has TRUE

meaning with that fact in view.

Fifth, God gave us His best when He gave us Jesus.

Thank you so much Father God for the gift of your Son on

that first Christmas! Wise Men/Women and Children still

seek Him!

Merry Christmas from the Kaiwaka Community Cinema

team. Pictured below standing in front of their new tuck

shop: Penny, Amanda, Alistair, Dave, Heidelind, Ad, Rik.
