Wendy is our latest recipient of a

bunch of flowers. She was nominated

by her friend and neighbour Lee, who

is pictured here with the flowers.

Lee wrote to us “Now in our 50's, we

met at kindy when our eldest kids were

just 3 and she's the kind of friend that

NEVER falters. She truly is the

kindest, most loving woman I've ever

met and I don't know how I would have

survived without her support over the

last 30 years.

“She is a giver... to her family, her

friends, her community, always putting

herself last. She asks for very little and

lives a very simple life. She is a part

time rural postie, rising at 4 to begin

the run, always greeting everyone with

a smile.”

KAIWAKA: GETTING THERE

Progress on Traffic and Other Matters

Kaiwaka Can has now been working

for about 18 months, pushing for traffic

improvements in Kaiwaka. The District

Council and NZ Transport Authority

are the partners in the process and both

have worked very hard indeed to see an

improvement in traffic behaviour,

especially speeding in the town.

“Your speed is”

Now we are within days of visible

proof of all of this. A “Your speed is”

flashing sign is due in the week ending

October 7

, placed within the 50kmh

zone. A pedestrian safety crossing

point

with

adequate

footpath

approaches is scheduled towards the

end of November. And other projects

are in the budget for the 2016-17 year.

These include working with Council on

a walkway underpass on the northern

bridge, to give access to the rest area

(formerly known as McClean Park). A

railing on the bridge will also mean

pedestrians are much safer.

Gateway signs

Another aspect of ‘traffic calming’ is a

tree planting project alongside the

highway to narrow the road. This is in

the final design stage at the moment.

We want our town to be visible and

unique. To that end local artist Peter

Panyoczki is leading the design of

gateway signs, one each end of town.

A sign indicating the walkway to the

school is also on the way thanks to

Council.

Art Installation

Another project making progress is the

Art Installation around the sewer

piping below Eutopia. We have been

calling for volunteers for this, so far

without much success. This is NOT

part of Eutopia but the oversight is in

the hands of Marijke from Eutopia and

the art work will blend in with what

Eutopia is doing. This is a great chance

for any who would like to learn some

of the skills that go into building the

plaster walls that are a feature of the

Eutopia project. If you are interested in

being involved, please contact Marijke

on thefarside11@gmail.com. or Derek

on 099469077. Money for this and for

the gateway signs is coming from

Council who continue to be supportive

and generous towards Kaiwaka.

Oneriri Road intersection

An ongoing project is exploration of

ways to improve the Oneriri Road

intersection, a nightmare at present for

regular users. Engineering consultants

have been engaged by Council to

review this and how it might be

improved.

Speed camera

One other project about to happen is

the installation of a speed camera by

the Police. It was our hope and request

that this be in the township where the

real speed problems lie and Council

supported us and advocated for this.

However, it seems it is going to be put

outside the southern boundary of the

town and its impact on town speeds is

likely to be less than we hoped.

However, Council will still advocate to

the Police to have a speed camera

within the township. The community is

also encouraged to advocate for this.

Next meeting 17 October

As a small group, we have a very long

list of possibilities and if you have

ideas for our community or think you

can help with ongoing ones, the next

meeting is October 17

, Archie Bull

Hall, (behind the Anglican Church)

5.30pm. Next report will have an

update on some of the other ongoing

discussions, including lighting, a topic

well designed to bring out a wide range

of opinions!

PLASTIC BAGS

I would like to thank Ronan Smythe (10) for his well

researched article on Plastic Bags (Bugle 23 August

2016).

As I have used cloth recyclable bags for my shopping

for many years, it is alarming how many plastic bags

still accumulate at my place. There are bread bags,

plastic from around toilet rolls, kitchen paper, etc.

I appreciate the move by New World supermarkets

and The Warehouse (there may be others I’m not

aware of) to provide a collection place for all the soft

plastic that cannot go in the recycling system.

Well done, Ronan. ~ Mariann Mear

and Bev to Warkworth. Our best

wishes and “God Bless” to you both,

we will miss you.

We are sorry to hear Secretary Jan is

not well at the moment, but we are sure

she will ‘bounce back’, as long as she

takes it easy!

Birthday cards and wishes for

September went to Margaret Schutt,

Lorraine. We will probably make those

three sing at our 61st Birthday which is

Speaking of which – Members please

particularly baking, fruit plants,

vegetables, pot plants (non-smoke able)

jams and jellies, pickles.

Sewing and crafts and non-perishables

could be given to a committee member.

Items for raffle prizes would also be

welcome, and please get them to

Heather or Ann as soon as possible.

On Saturday 24th September 3

members attended the NDWS AGM at

Kawakawa.

Some of our members attended

Franklin RSA Women’s Section 71st

even managing to bring home a nice

raffle.

attend Warkworth’s 55th Birthday

In closing, Members please keep

Thursday 24th November free for our

“Pot Luck Christmas Dinner” and

arrive at 10.45 for 11 a.m.

That is all for now, cheers Ann

Well folk, ‘Spring has sprung the grass

is ris’. Where have all the boidies gone.

The boidies are on the wing. No. The

wings are on the boidie. The grass is

certainly rising.

Now we are unable to mow our lawns

after the rain this week. What a deluge

on Sunday we had at our house, 50mm

in about an hour and a half. Derek

phoned from the Hakaru Valley and

they had 85mm in one and half hours

and just down the road from them the

neighbours had 56mm.Then again on

Wednesday there was another 36mm.

Hence no lawn mowing until we dry

out a bit again. There would have been

a lot higher rainfall around us at other

places. Thank you, Derek, good to

know.

We have had a very calm September as

far as Septembers go. A bit of wind

early on in the month but most every

other day has been calm. (I can handle

that). A shame my sun radar is not

working. That may be because we do

not have one. We have not had the

equinox winds yet. Hopefully they will

not happen.

At our house for September we had

135mm of rain, for September 2015 we

had 190mm. We had rain on 13 days

and for 2015 we had rain on 14 days.

Our first 9 months of 2016 we had

1211mm of rain and for 2015 we had

889mm.

Our wettest first 9 months of any year

since 1987 was 2008 with 1439mm.

Our driest 9 months of any year since

1987 was 1987 with 687mm.

Our wettest September since 1987 was

1989 with 249mm. Our driest

September since 1987 was 2000 with

40mm.

The waterfall on the Brynderwyn is

flowing very nicely again so maybe,

just maybe the water table has risen

again. We are well into daylight saving

again. It is good to see a bit of evening

light again but not so good for the dairy

farmers getting up in the dark again to

milk the moolies. After that rain we

had they will plodding around in the

bog again.

Take care of each other out there and

be careful. With the school holidays

half way through there is a terrific lot

of traffic on the roads so be patient and

do not take risks it is not worth it. Well

that’s all folks. Safe journeys through

life. ~Bev

RIVERVIEW REST

HOME & VILLAGE

The Maungaturoto Rest home and

Village has been established over the

last twenty years by the Maungaturoto

Community Charitable Trust Inc

(MCCT) to serve the Maungaturoto

District.

Originally set up as the sixteen-bed

Maungaturoto Rest home, the complex

has grown to include the 13 rental units

and 14 OYO units.

Changing needs

As our local population continues to

age and live longer, our needs also

become more complex. Our current

facility is now at capacity and we risk

being unable to meet future demands or

provide for those who need a higher

level of care which at present is only

available in Dargaville, Waipu or

Whangarel. The value of this higher

level of care “at home” has been

appreciated by the families in some

recent cases where the Rest home has

been able to offer this high care to a

limited degree.

Future development

We have developed a “Plan for the

future” – staged development to deliver

increased services to the community.

Stage one will see an 8 bed Dementia

unit added to the current rest home.

Further stages will give the Trust the

ability to respond to the increasing

complexity of aged care - updated

kitchen and dining /lounges – a further

8 dementia beds – a further 6 Rest

home rooms and the ability to provide

hospital level care as the need dictates.

Currently the rise in the number of

people needing residential dementia

care outstrips population growth.

Demand for dementia services are

predicted to grow by 7% per year as the

risk of suffering from dementia

increases after 65yrs. At present the

nearest dementia units are at Waipu,

Whangarel or Dargaville, so the

development of a secure and stable

dementia unit in Maungaturoto will

allow local families to stay together for

longer.

The Trust is currently working on

obtaining the necessary consents and

bank lending support, to compliment

the “future plan” as substantial ongoing

funding stream will be required from

the community.

It is intended to launch the appeal to

community in the very near future

which includes the rebranding of our

Rest

home

to-

EUTOPIA UPDATE

is all go again at Eutopia and the big face lift continues. We have finished a 3-

month stint working in Auckland and we are back on the job, the place is

changing again.

The ugly old 'book nook' which occluded the Northern sun has gone, making

much more space and opening the area up further. We are erecting new walls

and incorporating gates to fully enclose the back courtyard. We hope one day, in

the not too distant future, this will make an ideal music venue as well as a

pleasant outdoor space. The ferro walls should reduce the truck rumble from the

road. We are trying to get the new walls meshed up, plastered and carved before

it gets too hot, so this is a bit of a race against time. The concrete work,

especially the carving is hindered, and the work time massively reduced, by hot,

dry weather.

There is a lot of renovation and rebuilding work still to be completed, some

resurfacing still to do and most surfaces still need to be painted. The final

touches to the courtyard mosaics are being completed between rain showers and

Robert, amongst other things, is working to finish the last remaining windows

and doors, making the frames and glazing them. We are

working on many fronts, lots of sculptures are being made

behind the scenes and there are still a lot more to be made.

We are in the process of planning and fitting out a new

commercial kitchen and we also have a lot of outdoor

furniture to make.

We have constructed the framework for a sculptural wall

being erected around the sewerage installation by State

Highway 1 below Eutopia. It will be very noticeable from

the road. It is part of the beautification of Kaiwaka project

done in conjunction with Council. We are looking for

volunteers to help with this community project. If you

would like to get involved with this or any other aspect of

what we are doing, please get in contact with us

at thefarside11@gmail.com

or 022 123 1160. Anyone is

welcome to come and check out the progress.

Paralympic swimmer Cameron Leslie

and local Kaiwaka man Simon Mayne

have just return from Rio Paralympics

2016. Cameron from Whangarei,

broke his own world record in the

Men’s 150 Individual Medley SM4,

which is his third consecutive title in

the event after Gold in 2012 and 2008

games in London and Beijing

Simon has been Cameron’s coach for

the past 10 years, based out of

Henderson, West Auckland. He says

“It is pretty special for Cameron to win

3 consecutive golds over the past 8

years. Cameron and I have a solid

working relationship and we know how

to get the best out of each other.”

Before flying to Rio, the New Zealand

swim team spent 3 weeks on Camp, in

Orlando, Florida. This was to minimize

distractions and focus on swimming

fast. Although they did have to watch

out for the lightning bolts as it was

Hurricane season!!

Rio is a vibrant city and there was a

carnival atmosphere to all the

swimming sessions. Although the

Paralympics games are competitive

everyone is friendly and encouraging

regardless of what country you are

from.

After his race Cameron said “I felt

confident after my heat swim and knew

that all the training would pay off in

the final which it did! And then it was

awesome to celebrate with my family

and coach who came out to support

me.”

~ from ‘Team Cameron’.

FROM NORTHLAND TO RIO…

The self-setting possum traps trialed

on Oneriri peninsula appear to have

been a success.

Cameras registered kills on two of the

traps over a three-week period. While a

third camera misfired, animal remains

suggested more kills which had been

food for vermin and other predators.

The trial was run by locals taking part

the

year-old

Kaira-Oneriri

Biosecurity Area (Koba) supported by

the Northern Regional Council [April

Bugle].

Koba spokesperson Hugh Patterson

says the gas-fired traps are being used

on larger blocks but the best effect of

setting up pest control is that is has

inspired people into action.

“We had a problem with possums on

our block and between us and our near

neighbour we have taken 80 with

Timms traps supplied by the NRC.

“Last year we had no feijoas or citrus

and that wasn’t the case this year. In

June we got one and another six in the

Spring coming over the borders.

Hugh says one of the

farms has called in

live trappers to get

numbers down to a

manageable level.

“Using the legtraps,

the trappers caught

450.”

Koba has stoat traps,

cat

traps,

ammunition, rat stations and baits for

use in the 1570 hectares it covers. It is

set up as a community-led programme

supporting landholders and residents to

work together to manage pests in order

to restore living conditions for native

plants, birds, and insects and reduce the

possibility of possum-borne disease to

stock.

“Some people like the old live cage

traps, which are no risk to domestic

pets, and we don’t have any of those.

But if people in the near area want

some support, please make contact.”,

Hugh Patterson says. Phone him on 09-

4512 787.

ONE:

It was Northland’s night at the Smokefree Pacifica Beats

national final with Alien Weaponry from Waipu taking the

band section and Huia & Zaia from Whangarei winning the

solo duo section, at the Raye Freedman Centre in Auckland

on 23 September.

Smokefree Pacifica Beats is the sister event to

Smokefreerockquest - it reflects the unique cultural identity

of Aotearoa New Zealand and numbers Nesian Mystik

among its standout successes.

The judges, Jeff Newton from NZ on Air and musicians

Anika Moa, Priya Sami, and Jason Kerrison said that Alien

Weaponry nailed everything on stage.

“Their drummer was the best of the night, their songs told

moving stories of their Maori history and it’s pretty unique

to be a metal band with a Pacifica sound,” said Anika Moa.

Three-piece metal band Alien Weaponry is from Bream Bay

College and Otamatea High School. The members are

brothers Lewis de Jong (guitar/vocals) and Henry de Jong

(drums), and Ethan Trembath (bass). They win a $10,000

New Zealand on Air song and video recording package,

$3,000 in vouchers for musical equipment from Rockshop

and ongoing mentoring from the Smokefreerockquest team.

The band is also in the Smokefreerockquest finals.

Bassist Ethan Trembath said the competition was really

stiff.

“I think we brought our game and went pretty hard,

but we were shocked to win,” he said. “It’s not often you

have a metal band at this event so we had that level of

difference.”

AND TWO:

Northland metal band Alien Weaponry won this year’s

Smokefreeroquest on Saturday night 24 September at

Auckland’s Raye Freedman Centre, capping off their win of

Smokefree Pacifica Beats on Friday night - a first in the

events' history. Alien Weaponry drummer Henry de Jong

said the band extracted all the energy they could while on

stage:

“It’s just such an awesome feeling after coming

second last year - we’re really stoked,” he said. “We want

to share our music and get out albums and singles as

quickly as we can.”

The judges were Jeff Newton from NZ on Air, Edge

Musical Director Reagan White, Dave Munro from Eccles

Entertainment, and musicians Anika Moa and Evan Sinton

from MAALA.

Newton said the judges couldn’t fault Alien Weaponry,

whom he described as a band that was beyond their years.

“They believed in their identity as a metal band, their use of

Te Reo was impressive, there’s really not anything else like

this in the world at the moment.”

Their Smokefreerockquest prize is $10,000 in Rockshop

vouchers, a $10,000 NZ On Air recording, video and

promo package’ a ‘Decent Exposure’ campaign on The

Edge TV, a photo shoot and branding package from

Imaginary Friends.

Kaiwaka Bugle - 4 October 2016

The wee ‘beaver’ dam at the Kaitara

bridge on Oneriri Road made me think

of the Kaitara Creek, the Kaitara Lake

and now there is Kaitara Lane south of

here – off Pukenui Road.

Back in the early 1900s the rail line

was progressing northward. The Ross

Hill tunnel was completed in 1910,

then there was to be the easy downhill

to the Otamatea River, but a couple of

‘bumps’ happened on the way …. from

“Hill of the Sea Bird” by AP Watson

“One such was encountered a mere

mile beyond the Ross Hill tunnel.

Thomas William Dowson, pioneer

settler in the Kaipara, was a man of

versatility, a capacity for hard work,

and with wide interests in local affairs.

He was an observant man with a mind

and will of his own - qualifications that

led him to become the first local

correspondent for the Auckland

Weekly News. As pointed out in the

previous chapter, it was he, as a lone

settler, who was responsible for an

amusing encounter with the railway

surveyors. His land lay across the

likely route for the railway, and his

house in the centre of it. A man of such

stature could afford to be un-co-

operative. He objected to the thought

of steam engines whistling and

clattering through his lounge. The

railways offered free house removal a

chain or two to one side. Lands and

Survey maps of the fifties and sixties

showed clearly who was the one who

moved. The permanent way continued

for a mile beyond the tunnel then, in

country devoid of any natural obstacle,

took a short, sharp sidestep, then, as

quickly, resumed its previous general

direction. Eventually the track reached

the bottom of the long hill and

straightened for the run to the tiny

Kaiwaka station.”

Sharon Dowson also writes of this

change of direction in her book

“Daffodils Still Grow at Heely Field”.

‘Heelyfield’ was the name of the first

Dowson homestead. She continued the

story, “so close is the line that smoke

blew into the house from passing

trains. He [

Sharon’s great grandfather TW

Dowson

] persuaded the government to

build a bridge across the line so he that

he had access to the rest of the farm”.

Continuing, “A mile beyond this was

the Kaitara Creek, leading in from the

Kaiwaka River, beside which the

railway was to run to Young’s Point.

Narrow at the mouth, it broadened out

ran inland for a mile as a tidal flow,

into which a sluggish creek fed fresh

water and, at that point, provided

several crossings used as a shortcut by

settlers living lower down the [Oneriri]

peninsula. Engineers decided on a

filling, rather than a bridge, to cross the

mouth of the Kaitara. It would be ﬁve

to six chains in length and would

require up to 15,000 cubic yards of

ballast, which would be brought to the

site by rail from Wayby, fifteen miles

to the south, not from the nearby

Pukekaroro, via a branch

line. In the event the

metal was unloaded from

the trucks into barrows

wheeled on planks either

side of a temporary

bridge.

When completed the

crossing sealed off for

ever the tidal flow from

the Kaiwaka river, and

held captive the fresh

water running into it.

Under this restriction the

small estuary became an

inland lake, and the

spillway, built into the

crossing

immediately

beneath the rails, ensured

that the discharge kept

pace with the recharge, so

the captive water in the

new

lake

enjoyed

constant breadth and

depth. Nature's eventual

response was to invest

the man-made lake with an abundance

of raupo and a rich mixture of swamp

vegetation. In due course eels found a

congenial home there, and the wildlife

a sheltered breeding ground” AP

Watson then records a wonderful wee

story about an eel told by the late Joker

Donaldson. “Regularly in May and

June the lake provided excellent

shooting. Joker Donaldson, born at the

turn of the century, drawing on a great

storehouse of memories, told with

undiminished relish of the time seventy

years back when he dropped his gun

overboard from his home-made punt

among the reeds close to the bank. He

stripped to his underpants, leapt in, and

scrabbled round for it among the roots

of the bulrushes. A very large eel

wrapped its broad tail tight around his

thigh. He shot to the surface and landed

on the bank, all in one movement, it

seemed, like a mullet into a boat. The

sequel places Joker in a category of his

own. "W hen I'd got over that I dived in

again and recovered the gun." There

were some monster eels there all right,

and plenty of them.”.

Thank You!

It would be an understatement to say we

were overwhelmed by the support for the

Auction. Thank you to everyone who

assisted. Especially the Hakaru Hall team

who allowed us to use their amazing space for free. To

Bruce Ferguson and the Scouts who not only do an amazing

bbq sausage, they went above and beyond and to help out.

To Aunty Ma and Rau, Paula and Greg for everything they

do for our community, especially for the work of the

Foodbank. To Cheryl Anderson and the KSA who are

working tirelessly to get the Helipad installed and running,

and also I found out on the day that Cheryl makes a great

cup of tea. To Beth for coming up with the idea and running

with it. For the rest of the Kaiwaka Cares team, as well as

the Kate’s Place team, who put up with the madness to get

everything done. And to Nola and Ben Kloppers from RE/

MAX who were great help on the day. Especially Ben for

his great skills as an auctioneer.

And last, but not least, all the companies who donated.

Whether it was something big or something small every

dollar will make a big difference to our community so thank

you.

Now I know a lot of people want to know how much we

made …. The total was just under $3400 so each group gets

$850. So thank you Kaiwaka and surrounding districts.

This was the first time that our team has run an auction. At

times it was a steep learning curve. In the end it was a

success and we know better now for next year.

Donations for Scott Dalziel

In addition to the money from the auction the Kaiwaka

Cares team were also gifted money that was donated in lieu

of flowers at Scott’s funeral. This money we have put aside

and we are going to come up with a fitting way to

memorialise Scott. So if you also contributed to the

memorial fund thank you. If anyone has ideas on what they

think would be the best way to use this money, please

contact Janine on caring4kaiwaka@gmail.com or pop into

the social space.

Give us your time …

I know we are heading into a busy time of year. Whilst we

will have a short break over Christmas we still need to keep

going. If you are able to give some time even a couple of

hours will do. We are a supportive and caring bunch and

would love to welcome some more helpers into our team. If

you are interested in pop in and say hi or email

caring4kaiwaka@gmail.com.

We have so many ideas and things we want to do for our

community, so watch this space! ~ Janine Boult, Chair
