ABOUT TOWN

When told the reason for Daylight

Saving time the old Indian said,

"Only a white man would believe

that you could cut a foot off the top

of a blanket and sew it to the bottom

of a blanket and have a longer

blanket."

Please remember to leave your

name & phone number when

leaving a message for us. We’ve had

a few left lately where we’ve no

idea who phoned.

Our condolences to the Hita and

Judd families on their recent losses.

The improved safety at Kaitara

Bridge due to the removal of nearby

trees is greatly appreciated.

CLOSED

The Kaiwaka Sports Association's grounds and carparks are

now closed to freedom campers, following escalating misuse

including toilet, parking, water, rubbish and behaviour

problems.

We trialled allowing freedom campers to use our grounds and

while it seemed to work alright in the

beginning, ongoing issues created problems for

the club and at a recent meeting, the committee

voted to close our Complex to campers.

Book review

Recently I’ve read I am Rebecca by

Fleur Beale.

Thirteen-year-old Rebecca Pilgrim

lives with her parents, twin sister

Rachel, brothers Abraham and Luke,

and sisters Magdalene and Zillah. We

meet them as the family, along with

other families of the Faith, relocates

from Wanganui to Nelson, to be with

others of their community and for the

children to attend a "godly" school -

that is, one that has no "worldly"

people running it.

When she turns 14, Rebecca will find

out who she is to marry. It will be

decided for her between her father and

the boy/man who wants to marry her,

and they will marry just after her 16th

birthday, as do all the girls of the Faith.

Rebecca wants a husband who is kind.

But both girls know the choice is not

theirs to make. In Nelson, Rebecca and

Rachel make new friends, and meet

boys they would be pleased to marry,

and who seem to feel the same way

about them.

"But what will the future hold for

Rebecca? Is there a dark side to the

rules that have kept her safe? Can the

way ahead be so simple when the

community is driven by secrets and

hidden desires?" (back cover)

This is a powerful psychological

thriller (according to the book's cover),

which I found hard to put down until

I'd finished it. And even now, a month

or more since I finished the book, I'm

easily transported back to the story just

by thinking about it.

This book is a sequel, to I am not

Esther, but is stands well on its

own. I want to read that first book

to get the full story, though I think

I know how it ends.

This book is on the Teen Fiction

(YP) shelves in our library, sorted

with the Rental Fiction books

(though free to borrow) until July

2016.

Zonta honours local woman on

International Women’s Day.

This year the Zonta Club of

Mangawhai awarded their annual

Yellow Rose Day Award for services

to the community to Sandra Grayson,

founder and Unit Commander of the

Mangawhai Cadets. Sandra was

honoured at a special breakfast at

Harvest Blue Café on Tuesday, March

8th attended by Zontians, former

Yellow Rose recipients and friends.

Sandra founded the Mangawhai Cadet

Unit 8 years ago and in that time they

have won the regional title for 7 years

straight in addition to 2 National

Community Service Awards and 5

National Skills Competitions. Two

female cadets have also been chosen to

travel to Gallipoli and Casino to

represent New Zealand and attend

commemorative celebrations.

Sandra spoke of the confidence and

leadership skills that the cadet unit

gives to young people and the joy she

gets from watching them grow and

develop. She acknowledged the

inspiration of her own mother who was

always active in community service,

and she was accompanied by her own

daughter (one of her 5 children) and

her granddaughter to receive her award.

Zonta President, Jan Fisher applauded

Sandra’s achievements, not only with

the cadets but also as a successful

farmer,

entrepreneur,

mother, and role model – a

truly worthy recipient of the

2016 Yellow Rose Award.

The Zonta Club of Mangawhai is a

group of women from all walks of life

who meet monthly over dinner for fun

and friendship. They raise funds to

support a variety of projects locally,

nationally and internationally as part of

Zonta International, a service and

advocacy organisation to improve the

status of women and promote human

rights for all. They work closely with

other local organisations to help

combat domestic violence; support

national bodies such as the Sophie

Elliot Foundation, Gynaecological

Cancer and White Ribbon; and provide

international aid to projects that help

women overcome barriers to equal

education, health care, legal rights, and

employment .

The local club is now receiving

applications for their Second Chance

Study Award. The successful applicant

will receive $2500 towards tuition fees

for an NZQA approved course of study

towards a sustainable career path. Any

woman wishing to return to the

workforce who is resident in the

Mangawhai, Kaiwaka, Maungaturoto,

or Bream Bay area is eligible to apply.

This award is possible because of the

generosity of the local community at

Zonta fundraising events such as

garage sales and Quiz Nights and is in

addition to the two places to be

awarded to young women on Spirit of

Adventure Leadership voyages later in

the year.

The Club welcomes new members and

would love to hear from you – contact

mangawhai@zonta.org.nz or text/call

Helen on 027 236 1557 for further

information or to come along to a

meeting to hear interesting speakers

and meet new friends.

SAVE THE DATE: This year Zonta

Managwhai’s major fundraiser will be

a Mid Winter Christmas Dinner & Ball

- so save the date – JUNE 25th and

watch out for details to come.

Working Bee - Thank you to the

wonderful parents who came to the

Working Bee, and worked tirelessly all

day. You have made a huge difference

to the senior playground, correcting a

design fault that created ongoing

flooding issues, as well as laying

maximum soft bark to cushion any

falls. The kids are really delighted with

it, they love springing over it and

bouncing around on it. The junior

playground

has

excellent

bark

cushioning too. I know there was a lot

of work that took many hours to

complete. So thank you, thank you,

thank you.

Our helpers were: Borck Contracting

and Kevin Wharfe for providing the

tractor. Mark Hodgetts for providing

the digger. Topuni Mill for providing

the lower layer of post peel. Jodi &

KAIWAKA CARES

It’s been a busy month so far in the

drop-in centre. We have had many

people pop in for a chat or to gather

some information on the area, use the

WIFI or printing/copying and of course

talking over concerns with the team.

If you have a concern of any nature

please feel free to talk to one of our

team, if it’s not something we can help

you with we will pass you on to

another organisation that can assist

you. Be assured privacy is really

important to us as we have had people

share some very personal stories and

challenges with us.

It can be difficult to go somewhere

new when you may not know the

people you are talking to, especially if

you are shy or have concerns you wish

to discuss. Below is a letter we recently

received from one of our visitors which

will give you some insight to their

experiences with Kaiwaka Cares.

I am a regular visitor at the Kaiwaka

Drop-in Centre.

Through the centre I have;

met new people and made new friends

Learned new skills through talking

with people

Discussed Kaiwaka issues

Discovered the community garden

Used the free WIFI

But most of all it helps me to feel part of

the community. I may be able to help

with projects, assist people, or be helped

myself.

I live alone (happily!) and have been

unemployed on and off for the past few

years. Some days I know that I need to

get away from myself and be with people.

Sometimes I go to the centre, chat with

people, and leave feeling uplifted.

Sometimes I go to the centre, say that I

am a bit unwell, and lie on the sofa,

knowing that I am in a safe environment.

I know that I am welcomed, and not

judged. How important is this? For me, it

is very important. The Drop-in Centre is

a good place to visit, and a safety net

when my mental/emotional health is

flakey. I am inspired by the people, and

grateful that such a place exists.

Healing from the Heart Energy

Kaiwaka Bugle - 22 March 2016

Page 17

Following our ‘Good Sorts’ article in the last issue we have received information

regarding the correct name for the rest area just north of Kaiwaka.

Isabel McClean has sent in a copy of the Certificate of Title that shows the name

‘The McClean Park Society Incorp’, along with the following explanation: “The

land was gifted to the community by JA (Archie) McClean, Bryan's [and John’s]

father, in 1946, accepted in the Land Transfer Office in September of that year,

as you can see in the attached map, with his father's signature at the bottom. It

was named McClean Park. McClean Park Society Inc. was formed to look after

it. This society was eventually wound up as rates were being paid on it. It was

taken over by the Domain Board, because at that time no rates needed to be paid

on Domain Board land, still named McClean Park.”

Above: Opening of the Kaiwaka Tennis Courts, on McClean Park, in 1947. See

page 62 of Kaiwaka -A Photographic History.

From Centennial of Kaiwaka 1859-1959: “McClean Park, so named after its

generous donor, J.Archie McClean, was prior to 1947, a rough swamp area, but

with great possibilities. It is protected on two sides, the south and the west, by a

beautiful stand of native bush, and faces the main highway north. Much hard

work was done voluntarily, by local men, with horses and machinery and it was

not long before it had the appearance of becoming a handsome playing area.

“Of approximately one and a half acres in extent, close to the heart of the

Kaiwaka township, it will continue to be a valuable asset to the growing

population of the district. A society was formed on the 8th May, 1946, with F.

Wright as chairman, and Harvey Gubb as secretary. Subscriptions were

arranged, and a canvass of the district planned, for funds toward the

improvements agreed upon for the park, in which it had been decided to also

build three tennis courts. This was accomplished under the direction and

assistance of N. Cameron (Kaiwaka) and J. Powell of Maungaturoto. This work

HAPPY EASTER

The story is told of a nine-year-old boy named

Philip who suffered with Down’s Syndrome. In

Sunday School the other kids made fun of him

because he was different. The Sunday before

Easter, the teacher gave each of the children a plastic egg

and asked them to look for symbols of new life, like seeds

and leaves, and then place them inside the egg. The idea

was to open their eggs on Easter Sunday and discuss what

they found.

When the children gathered, they had collected all sorts of

things like flowers, butterflies and rocks. But when the

teacher opened Philip’s egg it was empty. One child said,

‘That’s not fair, he didn’t do it right!’ But Philip tugged at

the teacher’s sleeve and said, ‘I did do it right. It’s empty

because the tomb is empty That’s why we have new life’.

The class gasped - and from then on Philip rose to a new

level of respect and became part of the group.

Bur Philip’s family knew his time was short - too many

problems for one small body. So that summer her he died.

As the class of eight year olds faced the reality of death,

they marched up to the altar - but not with flowers. Together

with their teacher, they each placed an empty plastic egg on

their friend’s tiny casket.

‘Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying’.

was done with the co-operation of the tennis club, which agreed to pay £5 per

annum for the use of the grounds.

“This Park was opened on 15th November, 1947, together with the three courts.

A gathering of nearly 300 people witnessed the opening, when Mr Wright,

chairman of the McClean Park Society. handed to Mrs McClean, wife of the

donor, a pair of scissors with which she cut the ribbon across the entrance. The

crowd then entered the Park, to reassemble at the tennis courts, where a second

ceremony was carried out. T. G. Bowmar, chairman of the tennis club, with an

appropriate speech, declared the courts open. He then called upon Mrs W. R.

Dowson, life member, to serve the first ball. Play then commenced.

Later on at the entrance to McClean Park gate-posts* were built of Bald Rock

stone and brick, on which are plaques, with appropriate wording, to

commemorate the centennial of New Zealand 1840-1940. The construction of

these was the culmination of the big effort by way of a Queen Carnival in

Otamatea County. Kaiwaka Riding's Queen was Miss Gwen Bowmar (Mrs

Nelson Smith), the Riding Chairman was A. Gibbons and the Secretary Miss N.

Dowson (Mrs Blackstaffe), with a committee of 41. This memorial was

officially opened on 23rd of April, 1949 by the Hon. W.E. Parry, M.P., Minister

for Internal Affairs, who was accompanied by R. M. Algie, M.P. (Remuera) and

T. P. Paikea, M.P. (Northern Maori).

Two members of the Internal Affairs

Department, and W. H. Colson, and

Jack Littin, chairman and secretary

respectively of the Centennial Memorial

Committee were on the dais with

official party.

“In May 1949, conveniences and other

facilities were built on the Park, making

it also an ideal camping ground, and

some tourists have taken advantage of

it.

A meeting was held early in 1958, to

consider asking the Domain Board to

over [sic] the Park.” Also see Roger

Smith’s book Stories Tall Stories Short,

page 36 for further interesting notes of

this area.

*These gateposts are now at the entrance to

the Kaiwaka Domain and Kaiwaka sports
