Kaiwaka Bugle - 12 July 2016
Page 1
It is over 2 years ago now since Robert
and I purchased Eutopia Cafe from
Peter and Raewyn Harris. It was
unfinished and falling into a state of
disrepair. We planned to bring it back
to life, make it even more notably
unique and in doing so create
something that Kaiwaka could be
proud of again. Progress has been
made, in fits and starts, but it is taking
us a lot longer to complete than
anticipated.
We have had a number of set backs and
many things have taken us off the job
for
weeks,
sometimes
months,
including family illness and injuries,
income obligations and various other
commitments.
We are presently working to get the
funding to continue the project, which,
at the moment, is requiring a 2 month
stint in Auckland.
The Eutopia project has involved a lot
of planning and thought. It has been a
challenge on many levels - we have
proven to be pretty good at presenting
ourselves with challenges! We tend to
be perfectionists and everything must
be made with the best materials and the
strongest construction methods, every
piece must fit exactly. On our part this
can be a strength, and a weakness.
We are incorporating many different
art forms and construction methods
into Eutopia. Many of the art works can
be excessively time consuming. We are
creating extensive new and revamped
concrete work, intricate mosaic work,
both ceramic and glass, bespoke
wooden joinery, ceramic sculpture as
well as murals and water features.
Considerable concrete sculptural work
is
being
completed.
We
are
constructing ferrocement walls which
we then carve, and into these we are
incorporating many glass and some
ceramic features. We are also
experimenting with different paint and
stain effects.

KAIWAKA
WEATHER
Greetings folk. As I type out this report
the heavens have opened the flood
gates again. Well actually it is the
middle of winter so is to be expected. It
is very wet underfoot now and boggy.
You know, the stuff you can leave your
gumboots behind in if they are too big.
Well we have had those very cold
spells and a frost or two as well. A very
heavy one on 22nd June along with
those dreadful winds. Oh yes not
forgetting those very beautiful fine
calm sunny days. They are hard to
remember when you get weather like
today.
At our house for June 2016 we had
138mm rain and for 2015 we had
94mm. For the first 6 months of 2016
we had 676mm and the fist 6months of
2015 we had 486mm.
Yes that is a difference of 190mm, or if
converted is 7 and half inches approx.
We had rain of some sort on 18 days
for the month of June and in 2015 we
had rain on 15 days for the month of
June. Our wettest June since 1987 was
2009 with 301mm and the driest was
2012 with 52mm. The wettest first 6
months of any year since 1987 was
2011 with 1041mm and the driest was
1987 with 333mm.
I have been told of lambs being born. I
hope they are being looked after with
this wet weather.
Please take care on our wet roads or
even dry as far as that goes. If you are
being troubled with fruit fly around
your fruit bowl it means there is a piece
of fruit starting to go rotten so remove
or use it. You can also crush a garlic
clove or two and place strategically on
a small dish among the fruit or nearby.
They certainly do not like the smell and
will disappear. That is all till next
month.
~Bev
Editor’s note: Wendy saw -3.6
o
C on
her temperature gauge on the morning
of that big frost (3 July, see photo
below taken at 7am!), down Marshall
Road. We saw a report of -3
o
C on
Oneriri Road the same day.

this is not a sporting event, it is one of
our most popular annual events – yes,
it's Fright Night! Mark it in your diary,
Saturday 29th October.

We hope to bring the little town of lights
back to life in an unusual way. We are
attempting to make every aspect of
Eutopia including many of the tables and
chairs unique and unusual. It is all taking
time but ultimately we envisage that it
will be spectacular and a drawcard for
the town.
If anyone in the community would like
to have some involvement, we have very
kindly been given some funding by
council to construct a wall around the
sewerage installation below Eutopia in a
complimentary style. We hope to get this
started early July. We are looking for
some voluntary help to work on this.
When possible I also provide a workshop
opportunity where people can try their
hand at making a Eutopian chair for
instance, or get involved in what ever we
are working on at the time. Anyone is
welcome to join us, just contact myself
or Robert on 021 891 484, or

Students at Kaiwaka School enjoyed a
trip to MOTAT recently, and a great
time was had by all. The students really
seemed to enjoy the Education Outside

BOOK FAIR
and
CAKE STALL
Paparoa Hall
9am-2pm
Saturday 20 August
Raising funds for the
Tinopai Volunteer Emergency
Services Incorp
TINOPAI VOLUNTEER
EMERGENCY SERVICES
Book fair and cake stall to be held in Paparoa Hall, Saturday
20 August from 9am to 2pm.
The Tinopai Volunteer Emergency Services Incorp are
raising funds to erect a building to house Tinopai Rural
Volunteer Fire Force vehicles and a North Kaipara
Coastguard rescue vessel.
Both of these organisations do amazing work in Tinopai and
the surrounding districts. Our fire truck at the moment is
kept in a member’s garage which is not ideal.
Resource consent has been granted for the building plans to
contain the truck, a further rescue vehicle and a Coastguard
boat. We are now raising funds for the next stage.
All the books for our book fair have been kindly donated by
the Dargaville Public Library. They will be priced at $1
each, 5 for $3 or 10 for $5. We have a wide selection of
novels covering romance, thrillers, fantasy and sci-fi, drama
and non-fiction as well.
We will also be having a cake stall and a stall with some
unusual flower decorations as well.
GOOD PEOPLE - HAVING FUN- DOING GOOD
THINGS
There has been a change of Officers at the Maungaturoto
and Districts Rotary Club and new Presidents always bring
their own style to the Chair. This year there will be a joint
leadership of Tim McGill and Merv Huxford. Their
continuity of focus introduced by recent presidents Jim
Taylor and Bruce Nelder will be” Good People, Having
Fun, Doing Good Things”.
Complementing each other extremely well, Merv with his
professional and sporting skills and Tim with his affable
and down to earth number eight wire experience, will be
forging ahead with a new look Rotary experience, but
without abandoning all of the proven tradition. New
developments will allow for greater community
involvement particularly in the health, environment and
youth education and leadership. A trial of a new tier of
membership level will also develop.
The Maungaturoto and Districts Rotary Club cover the
districts of Matakohe, Paparoa, Maungaturoto, Kaiwaka
and Mangawhai. For those interested please contact Betty
Nelley 094318249

Arthritis New Zealand has received concerned calls from Palmerston North
residents over the past two days, who are being offered home visits to
provide help for their arthritis.
“Arthritis New Zealand does not offer home visits” says Sandra Kirby,
CEO “Nor do we pass on names of members or clients to any other
company.” The advice for people who receive calls offering a home visit is
to take the name and contact number of the caller and if you do arrange a
home visit have a family member or friend with you at the time of the
visit.
Ms Kirby does note “We do have volunteer staff making calls to people
around the country at the moment – specifically looking for volunteers to
help with our September Appeal. This is the only call that is likely to come
from Arthritis New Zealand”

Kaiwaka Bugle - 12 July 2016
Page 13
The Year That’s Been
Would you believe it is almost a year
since the drop-in centre opened its
doors? When you start something like a
social space you are never 100% sure
how it will work and fit within the
needs of the community.
As time has gone by more people have
come in and utilised the space. So
many
wonderful
and
unique
individuals have visited.
We have our regulars that pop in to use
the computer or have a chat. We have
travellers who are passing through who
need advice or a warm spot to charge
their phone. And we have people in
crisis, who are in need of a shoulder, or
advocacy to find a way through a
particularly challenging moment in
their life’s journey.
Yvonne and Norm
And that is what the drop-in centre is
all about. It’s a place for the people of
Kaiwaka to use, to share, to meet, and
for many to just see a different set of
four walls than what they see at home.
All of this would not have been
possible without the support and
generosity of Yvonne and Norm
Brown. They have been great
supporters of Kaiwaka Cares from the
beginning. Without their help and
provision of space Kaiwaka Cares
would most likely have remained just
an idea and never really come into
being.
Thank you also to those of you who
have supported Kaiwaka Cares through
raffles, donations of goods and money,
KSA
funding
and
generally
encouraging us to keep going. Every
little word of encouragement has made
a huge difference.
Kaiwaka Cares volunteers are: Helen
Marsh, Scott Dalziell, Beth Stone,
Elisa Denton, and Janine Boult - with
backup and encouragement from Iris
Kelly.
The Year Ahead
Recently I attended a Hui at Otamatea
Marae with the Ministry of Social
Development looking at social services
available in the Kaipara and seeing
what gaps there are. I met some
amazing people who are providing
services which are underfunded and yet
so needed to help people.
One of the biggest things I took away
was something that Russell Kemp
mentioned to those who attended. He
took a leaf from his mentor Sir Graham
Latimer and challenged us to think
about whether we were being the best
we could be. And were we doing the
best we could for our people.
For myself this was particularly
poignant. It has forced me to reflect on
what I am doing and what is the best
use of the limited resources of time that
I have. In a perfect world we would be
the best version of ourselves every day.
But let’s be honest, some days our best
is not so perfect. We are tired, or sick,
or have many pressures which affect
how we are in the world. As long as we
are doing the best that we can on any
particular day then that is what is most
important.
So I ask myself multiple times a day if
I am being the best I can be. And I
would like to think it is making me to
be a better person, parent and friend.
In terms of Kaiwaka Cares it is all
about caring for the people of Kaiwaka.
There is so much we would love to be
able to do, services we wish we could
provide, and yet we are hampered by
two major constraints. The same
constraints many social agencies have:
time and money.
More
Volunteers,
Please
In the year ahead we are
hoping
to
gain
additional funding from
new sources to enable us to take on
some more social assistance and
community advocacy work. But to
make this work we need more
volunteers. Whilst we are able to
function as we are at present. To be
able to do more for Kaiwaka we need
more people willing to give their time.
It doesn’t have to be a daily or even
weekly commitment. Even if it’s 4
hours a fortnight or a month. By giving
some of your time to be there for others
you will meet some of the amazing
people who call Kaiwaka home. And
like myself will make some enduring
friends who I could not live without.
More Workshops
Over the next year you will see more
workshops from the Kate’s Place. The
Healing Heart workshops run by Heidi
have been a tremendous success. Both
the CAP Money and Job Club courses
have been helping improve lives, so we
definitely will be having more of those.
Helen and the community garden team
have been doing a tremendous job at
growing kai for the community to
share. The drop-in space will continue
to be used for meetings and evenings
such as the holistic evenings which
have been running so well.
We have many little things coming up
that take so long to come to fruition, as
we all have many other commitments
in our lives. So watch this space. In the
next Bugle we will be able to tell you
more about some of the exciting
developments. And of course we will
be having a wee birthday bash to
celebrate 1 year since our doors
opened.
Thank you as always for supporting the
work that we do, for popping in and
putting smiles on our faces and for
ultimately sharing your lives with the
Kaiwaka Cares 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 who 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.

MATARIKI: This year , each of the
seven schools in the old Otamatea
District have co-curated our Matariki
exhibition “Seven Stars, Seven Stories”.
The cluster of stars that we call Matariki and astronomers
call the Pleiades are known all over the world and through
history. Although there are many stars in the cluster, only
six or seven can be seen without a telescope. In common
with Maori, the rising of these bright stars heralded the
turning of the agricultural year for many different cultures,
and many explanations of their origin are attached to them.
A FEW OF OUR FAVOURITE THINGS-THE
TEXTILES EDITION
15 June- 7 October
Every day, our staff and volunteers at The Kauri Museum
work alongside approximately 100,000 individual items that
make up the collection.
Over time, we have all established our favourites, and we
have brought items from our textiles collection together
here to share with our visitors.
We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.
LEGENDARY AXEMEN OF NORTHLAND
Opened 13th July
Over the past century, Northland has produced many
axemen and sawyers of stature. Names such as Mick
Griffen, Joe Julian, Denny Hoey, Bill Shelford and Innes
Davidson have joined the ranks of New Zealand’s legendary
sporting greats, and Northland axemen continue to excel.
Featuring highlights from interviews recorded with a
selection of contemporary Northland axemen, this dual
online and onsite exhibition aims to summarise this
enduring vigorous heritage sport through their eyes: its
events, equipment, technique and organisation. For more

KAIWAKA CAN
At the last meeting of Kaiwaka Can,
we worked through a number of very
promising items that will bring positive
changes to our community
Speeding trucks
Annie van der Plas, our Council
representative, outlined progress on the
speeding problems in Kaiwaka. We
expect announcements soon on some
major changes that will help slow
down the traffic on SH 1. Some of our
members are also keeping an informal
watch on speeding trucks. They note
the number and firm and then ring the
company involved, to express our
concern about driver behaviour. They
have met with a very good response
from companies who recognise this as
a major problem. If you notice bad
driving like this, do the same. You will
be surprised how much difference it
makes.
Walkway
Council is also working on final plans
for a walkway under the northern
bridge to connect with the reserve that
was known as McClean Park, the land
just below the motel. NZTA is also
planning a guard rail along the footpath
over the bridge which currently is a
dangerous walk.
Oneriri Road access
An engineer has been engaged by
NZTA to look at the possibilities for
improving Oneriri Road access,
including the suggestion of a
roundabout at the Kaiwaka-Mangawhai
Road intersection.
Down below the Eutopia Café, Council
is assisting with funds to improve the
appearance
of
the
wastewater
machinery, giving it an odour proof lid
and artistic covering.
McClean Park
Another area we have been discussing
is McClean Park (at least that is its
original name). This is a large area of
land, carefully tended by Elizabeth
Preston and we are looking to explore
its full potential. Many suggestions
have been made including a place for
Freedom Campers (opposed by some
but the Government is funding toilet
blocks in some of these areas), a picnic
area linked to a walkway, using some
of it for a dog exercise park for
travellers,
community
garden,
marketplace. It is a great piece of land
and we would like to see it become
even more of an asset to the
community. Let’s know if you would
be interested in helping explore the
options.
Playground and Lighting
Plans are well advanced for fencing
round the playground next to the Hall.
Lighting is slowly progressing with the
Anglican Church pricing replacement
lights and the windmill coming back
soon to the Cheese Shop. Lots of other
buildings have the framework of their
old lights left. If you are interested in
checking out lighting up again, get in
touch.
Much improved signage for our public
toilets is underway.
The Drop in Centre is coming up one
year old and is planning a celebration
soon.
Beautification through tree planting is
also planned for a number of areas and
we are just waiting on the final details
of the NZTA proposals so we can go
ahead.
Lots to keep us busy – so come along
to our next meeting if you have any
thoughts about how to make Kaiwaka a
better place to live and want help to put
these ideas into action.
Next meeting
Our next meeting is on Monday July 18
at 5.30 pm (3rd Monday of the Month)
at Archie Bull Hall.

EARL BOYD MStJ.
Our sympathies go to the whanau and friends of Earl Boyd
who passed away 27th June 2016, aged 71 years.
Earl was a long-time resident of Kaiwaka. Earl was a most
enthusiastic ‘strapper’ for rugby players, especially for
Eastern, Otamatea Hawks, Waipu, Rodney and Northland
Rugby. He was made a Life Member of the Otamatea
Hawks.
Earl joined St John in 1977 and was a mainstay of St John
in the Kaiwaka area, as an Events officer and Ambulance
Officer. Earl gave thousands of hours of service to his
community and St John. He was admitted to the Order in
1998 as a Member. Earl will be remembered for his
willingness to stand in at short notice to man the Kaiwaka
ambulance. He was a colourful
character who was not afraid
to speak his mind, but always
had St John at his heart. He
gave wonderful service in his
37-year association with St
John.
He passed away peacefully at
Ranburn Rest Home, Waipu.
Pictured left: Yvonne, Amanda
& Earl Boyd, practising their
skills.
TED PIPE
Kaiwaka’s ‘Three Furlong’ man Died on June 24 2016,
aged 95.
Ted Pipe qualified as an architect, married Olive Ford and
had four children. He practised for several years, designed,
built and ran several of his own hotels mainly in the
Waikato and trained racehorses as a hobby. He also
designed churches in Tauranga and Rotorua.
The hotel Kaiwaka folk remember Ted for is The Three
Furlongs. A publican’s licence for a hotel in Kaiwaka was
awarded to Ted in March 1962. He designed the hotel, but it
wasn’t until October 1966 his ‘Three Furlongs’ was opened.
See Roger Smith’s book ‘Stories Tall, Stories Short’, pages
55-60 – A long road to the pub, for more information. Why
‘Three Furlongs’? Ted, as a racing man, said his horses
usually stopped at the 3-furlong post. His daughter Dorothy
also said he reckoned that Kaiwaka was halfway between
Auckland and Whangarei so an excellent place to stop.
Prior to training as an architect Ted served in WWII -
FX81929 Fleet AirArm, HMS 'Formidable' 820 Squadron,
Sub Lt/Navigator. He saw more than 2000 German sailors
perish when the 50,000
-tonne
battleship
Bismarck was sunk in
1941 in the north
Atlantic.
Two years later, he
spent seven days in a
rubber raft without
food or water after his
Albacore
bi-plane
crashed
into
the
Mediterranean
Sea,
killing the pilot and the
other crew member.
