BRIAN JAQUES JP, QSM
Last weekend, the Northland Justices of the Peace
Association held its Annual General Meeting, and
celebrated its 65th anniversary. Joan Howse, retired JP, and
Kaiwaka’s Brian Jaques cut a cake to mark the occasion.
Brian has been a JP for 45 years, having been sworn in at
the Maungaturoto Court in 1971. He was nominated by the
then Otamatea County Council, while he was running the FJ
Jaques Store, now known as Jaques Four Square.
There are four Justices of the Peace in Kaiwaka - Brian,
Tony Hargreaves, Lenore Donaldson and Wendy Howard.

Love & Friendship
Friday 21 October 7:30pm (PG)
Set in the 1790s, Love and Friendship
centers on beautiful widow Lady Susan
Vernon, who has come to the estate of her in
-laws to wait out colorful rumors about her
dalliances circulating through polite society.
Whilst there, she decides to secure a
husband for herself and her rather reluctant
debutante daughter, Frederica.
Starring: Kate Beckinsale, Chloe Sevigny
The community voiced the need to have a health service of some sort after
losing previous GP and nursing services some years ago. Te Ha was approached
by Iris Kelly of Kate’s Place who requested the possibility of such a service,
Clinical Manager for Te Ha Oranga Rhonda Zielinski-Toki was more than
willing to trial the provision of this service. We encourage the community of
Kaiwaka
to
make
full
use
of
this
free
weekly
clinic.
Services available are Well Child checks, Before School checks, Ear
assessments, Chronic Care assistance and General Health checks. The clinic can
also do vaccinations and smears by prior
arrangement.
Clinic day is every Thursday from 9am to 3pm.
If you need to make an appointment you can
phone Kates Place on 431 2661 otherwise you
can phone Te Hā for more information on
0800 MY TE HA (0800 69 8342).

For eighteen months, Kaiwaka Can,
our local community group has been
working with Council and with NZ
Transport Authority on the problems
caused by speed on State Highway One
through Kaiwaka.
Before that, another group worked on
the same problem… and before that,
another group worked on the same
problem… and still the cars and trucks
sped through Kaiwaka.
We learned to live with it but as traffic
got heavier, we decided we wanted a
change. This time we really thought we
were making progress. NZTA listened
to us and listed 28 concerns they heard
us express. They worked on them and
came up with a whole raft of responses
(thank you Sarah and your team in
NZTA). They even looked at what we
would look like in a few years time and
it looked good (thank you Yoko, the
landscape architect). And all the time
our Council representative kept the
lines
of
communication
open,
smoothed over the waters (sometimes
we got a bit angry) and has been our
open line to the decision makers (thank
you Annie for all you have done).
But wait, there’s more
However a few days ago we heard a
decision had been made about speed
(which is where it all started). The 70
zone would be dropped to 60 (that’s
great, make it a bit safer out of
Settlement Road) but the current 50
zone would be raised to 60. The
reasons? It would make it less
confusing to motorists to have two
different speed zones. And so many
motorists were already way over the
limit, a higher speed limit would be
more credible to those behind the
wheel. Just to rub it in, they told us that
according to some awfully important
document in Wellington, we should
really have a speed limit of 70 all the
way through because we didn’t have
enough driveways emptying on to the
highway. So really they have been very
kind to us and let us get away with 60.
Pity about the new “Your speed is”
sign set for 50! But it was fun to watch
while it lasted. Now to be fair, the
decision is not yet law but the major
stakeholders (AA, National Road
Carriers, Police and Council) have all
been consulted. The Council Roading
team think from an engineering point
of view it is a good idea. The Police of
course, after consulting an independent
company, have put our longed for
speed camera out on the highway south
because ‘it is a high accident zone”.
A media release has been made by
NZTA (released Thursday October 13)
but NZTA still do need to consider all
submissions made before the final
stamp is put on the proposal.
But the planners forgot something.
They forgot the people, those of us
who live here and study here and work
here and love
this little blip
on the great
highway. Yes,
we are allowed
to have a say
and there are
forms all round
town.
These
should then be
gathered
up
and a single
submission
made
by
Kaiwaka Can
through
Council.
They forgot the anxiety and often fear
felt by residents turning south out of
Oneriri Road. They forgot the frights
many have got trying to cross the road
over to the Cheese Shop as 50 tons of
logs suddenly appears round the
corner. They forgot how scary it is to
come down the hill from the shops by
the bakery heading north as some
impatient holiday maker with a large
boat in tow sits on your bumper and
gives you the hurry up. Or how hard it
can be to get out of the Mangawhai
Road on to SH 1 on a busy weekend.
Or the scary times the clothing factory
workers experience trying to go home
from work.
So where to from here?
Yes, NZTA, we are grateful for the
work you have done, your patience, the
measures done on ‘traffic calming”, the
speed sign, the pedestrian safety zone
going in soon, the tree planting in the
near future and all the other longer
term plans you have provided. But
sadly for many people, there has been
no people calming.
Now if I sound worked up on the issue,
excuse me and I write this not as Chair
of Kaiwaka Can but as one of the
people who chugs around town and
gets the odd scare or two. After the
Bugle is published, I will behave and
put together a calm and logical
summary of the views gathered by
Kaiwaka Can.
Incidentally Kaiwaka is getting new
claims to fame, not as the Little Town
of Lights (we are working on that) but
as the fastest main street in Kaipara
District and the longest stretch of main
street with no parking allowed! Also of
course the town with the heaviest
traffic flow. Maybe call it “little town
of frights”!
So Kaiwaka people, be careful out
there. If you have retired and got a bit
slower, if you have a new hip or knee,
if you want to get home from school
over to the other side of the highway
and if you are crossing the road and see
a friend to wave to, watch out or you
will become a statistic. And the
planners know how to handle statistics.

Sunday 9 October 2016 saw
Reg Jaques from Kaiwaka
receive a well-deserved
17 years’ service bar for St.
John Otamatea.
Reg started his service with St. John in
1978. He is a life member of Kaiwaka
and
was
involved
with
the
Maungaturoto Station before that.
Reg was keen to embark on the
required courses which were First Aid
entrance receiving his certificate on
27 August 1978 he then went on to do
his home nursing and also received a
certificate the same year on 15 August
1978.
Reg faithfully served the Kaiwaka
Station for five years before he joined
up with the Local Fire Brigade where
he spent 33 years as an active member
in this service.
He then returned to St. John in 2004
where he has actively served on the
Otamatea St. John Area Committee.
Reg been very instrumental in the
Kaiwaka Station particularly in the
maintenance, general work around the
Station and in the last five years has
been an asset to the Kaiwaka Op Shop.
Born in Kaiwaka and grown up as a
local lad, he has lived there all his life.
He met his wife Bev (nee Dowson) and
they have been married 53 years. Reg
and Bev have a daughter and son along
with a number of grandchildren who
have stood alongside him tirelessly
over this time.
Over the many years of service that
Reg has put in there has been many
sacrifices that he and his family have
made to support St. John and the
Kaiwaka community in making a
difference in many lives.
Reg is also well known in the
community for his involvement in
bands since the age of twelve he has
been in and organised many gigs.
Reg has a passion for his volunteer
work to the community and this
certainly shows in his many years of
dedication.
From all of the Otamatea Area
Committee and the Maungaturoto/
Kaiwaka volunteers well done Reg and
we look forward to working alongside
you in the future.

Author Rae Roadley has published her
second book, a novel titled Have a
Heart which, tells the story of two
families in a community on the east
coast of New Zealand.
In 2011, Penguin NZ published Rae’s
non-fiction book Love at the End of the
Road which tells of about her life at
Batley on the Kaipara Harbour and the
history of the area.
She says Have a Heart is a
love story that touches on
issues that face any small
community – pressures from
an increasing population and
popularity, family discord,
domestic violence and long-
held grudges.
The Omahu and Gunn
families have been in conflict
every since Jack Gunn’s
ancestors
‘stole’
Glory
Omahu’s family land. Can
love overcome generations of
mistrust, a clash of cultures
and stolen family treasures?
Rae is a creative writer,
writing tutor at NorthTec, a qualified
journalist and columnist who has
worked in publishing and as a freelance
writer. She blogs about rural life and
her writing has won recognition in
contests and media awards.

FRIGHT NIGHT
One
of
the
Kaiwaka
Sports
Association's most popular events
of the year is on Saturday 29 October –
yes, it's Fright Night!
Each year the numbers attending get
bigger and bigger, and last year there
were over 400 people there, so we’re
hoping for another spooktacular night!
Fright Night is fun for the whole
family, there will be a photo booth,
lolly scramble, face painting, games
with prizes, dancing and glow items.
Polish your vampire fangs, dust off
your cobweb coat and strut your stuff at
our Costume Parade. There are some
great prizes to be won for the best
dressed boy, girl and adult.
Take your bravest friends and venture
into the haunted house – but beware of
creatures which might be lurking in the
shadows! First up there will be a
haunted house session for primary
school children, then the scare factor
will be ramped up for the second
session for highschoolers and adults.
After that, we will run an extra scary
session in darkness – only for the very
brave!
Please bring a halloween-themed plate
for supper. There will be prizes for the
best three plates, last year the tables
were overflowing with very creative
food: ghost meringues, graveyard
cakes,
cobweb
biscuits,
eyeball
cupcakes and more.
Be at the Kaiwaka Sports Complex on
Saturday 29
th
at 6.30pm, the entry fee is
$5 (adults and preschoolers are free).
You don't need to have dinner before
you arrive, as the local food truck Off
The Grill will be there, serving up
delicious halloween-inspired meals.

Join us for Breakfast!
Next Friday 21st there is a
breakfast at Kaiwaka Fire Station to
celebrate all that has been achieved in
fundraising so far for the Helipad. And
to help things be even bigger More FM
will be broadcasting live. What a great
way of celebrating what an amazing
community we live in.
Traffic – too fast or too slow?!
Ask a speeding driver what they dislike
and it’s slower drivers. And yet
particularly along SH1 in the Kaiwaka
Township the speed is 50km. Which
most people seem to struggle to keep
to.
The latest initiative of a flashing speed
sign seems to make people think more
about their speed coming down the hill.
I have noticed that the speed is less so
that has to be a good thing.
Unfortunately NZTA are currently
looking at increasing the speed along
SH1 to 60km. Yes, they will extend
that to cover most of the 70km area as
well. However if people are already
speeding in both the 70km and 50km
areas will they travel at lower speeds in
a 60km area?
NZTA thinks yes. Most people I have
spoken to that live in Kaiwaka say no.
We have until Thursday 20th to get
submissions in. Forms are available at
various
locations
around
town
including the Drop In space at the front
of Kate’s Place.
Have your say – tell NZTA whether
you agree or disagree with the speed
change. Let the voice of those in
Kaiwaka be heard.
Christmas is coming!
Whether it is something you celebrate
or not it is an inevitable busy time on
the calendar. We have some fun things
planned for the whole family. So watch
this space ~Janine Boult, Chair

MORE CONSISTENT SPEED LIMITS WILL
IMPROVE SAFETY THROUGH KAIWAKA
The NZ Transport Agency is proposing changes to the speed limits on State Highway 1
through Kaiwaka township to make it safer for residents and road users.
More consistent speeds are planned to be introduced, replacing the variations and
changes that are currently in place, which will mean lower speed limits over a greater
stretch of the highway.
“By introducing just one speed limit that is clearly signposted and doesn’t change part
way through the township, it’s anticipated that more motorists will know what’s
expected of them and are more likely to drive within the limits,” says Tim Crow the
Transport Agency’s Network Performance and Safety Manager.
The proposals involve introducing a 60km an hour speed limit from 130 metres
northwest of Kaiwaka/Mangawhai Road to 300 metres south of Settlement Road.
This means the current 100km an hour speed limit will be lowered to 60km an hour over
a length of 55 metres from the south side of the bridge to the north side of the bridge at
the northern end of the township, and the current section of the road with a 70km an
hour speed limit will also be reduced to 60km an hour. The area currently 50km an hour
will rise to 60km.
Large signs and road markings will also be installed on the road and roadsides at both
ends of the town which will more clearly signal and reinforce the drop in speed from
100km an hour to 60km. Repeater signs will be installed every kilometre to reinforce the
reduced speed limit.
“We know that reducing speeds and improving safety is a top priority for the Kaiwaka
community and the Transport Agency believes these changes will strike a chord with
more motorists passing through and encourage them to drop their speeds.”
“This will create a better balance in helping freight and commuter vehicles travel safely
and efficiently through Kaiwaka without compromising the safety and amenity of local
residents and will help enhance and support the goals of the Kaiwaka Township
Improvement Plan.”
This week the Agency installed a sign which displays the speed that vehicles are
travelling at to improve visual cues and encourage people to slow down. There are also
plans for a pedestrian refuge to be built on the highway near the shops to improve safety
for pedestrians. The changes also support the work of the NZ Police which will be
increasing speed enforcement within the Kaiwaka Corridor.
“Encouraging safer speeds and reducing deaths and serious injuries on our roads is a top
priority for the Transport Agency and in many cases the consequences of a crash can be
significantly reduced or even completely avoided if drivers reduce their speeds.”
What is the process for changing a speed limit?
Speed limits are outlined in the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2003. As
part of this process the density of roadside development and features of the roadway that
contribute to speed are assessed. These guidelines suggested a speed limit of 70km/h
would be appropriate for the entire township of Kaiwaka. However the Agency has
decided that 60km an hour would be more beneficial.
An assessment is then carried out against the Draft Speed Management Guide. This
suggested a speed limit of 60km/h would be appropriate for the entire township.
The NZ Transport Agency is now seeking feedback from key stakeholders that include:
Kaipara District Council (including the local community board for that ward);
New Zealand Police; New Zealand Automobile Association Inc.; National Road
Carriers Inc.
Considering all of the responses received during the consultation process, a
recommendation is then made to the NZ Transport Agency National Office for final
approval and publishing the change in the NZ Gazette. 28 days after the change has
been published in the NZ Gazette, the signs must be erected and are legally enforceable.

The
arrival of the railway line in
Kaiwaka didn't just divide the farm of
my great-great grandfather Thomas
Dowson, it divided the Kaiwaka
community too. It was not popular with
many of the locals and pitted neighbour
against neighbour. Thomas wrote his
daughter, Millie Green of Ruakaka, in
1911, that he had fallen out with
neighbour James Hastie, senior.
Several men who had been in the for
camp were now unhappy with the
imposition on their properties, and
furthermore, locals were not speaking
to them. Thomas thundered, 'They are
traitors to the districts of Mangawai
(sic) and Hakaru settlements and
everybody (save these hounds) in
Kaiwaka wanted the rail way line via
Pukekaroro.' I picture him writing this
in his study, train smoke pouring in the
window, china and cutlery rattling in
the cupboards. Thomas didn't live to
see Kaiwaka station open, on 22 March
1913. I can almost imagine that if he
had, he'd have set up a picket line in
protest!
There were (and still are!) many
colourful characters in the Dowson
family. Thomas' son, Egbert (Bertie),
was fascinated by the projecting magic
lantern. He travelled around the world
twice, met Thomas Edison, held magic
lantern shows around the area in 1899,
and died in the Boer War. His magic
lantern is now in the Matakohe
Museum.
A whale jaw was once a prominent
Kaiwaka landmark, for about 25 years.
It was erected in the 1930s by Romaine
Dowson, Thomas' son, on the State
Highway at the entrance to his
property. This was Belmont, located on
the south side of the red brick house
with twisted pillars. Romaine also built
a museum, the once beautiful blue-
stone building south of Shamrock.
Kaiwaka had a poet in residence once.
Twenty-seven poems written by
Thomas' wife, Emily (nee Turner) still
exist, and many were published in the
Auckland Weekly News. Some were
religious, some inspirational, funny,
sad, about personal experiences or
daily life.
The first radio in town was a crystal
radio, built by William Dowson
(Romaine's son) and Geoffrey Linnell,
in 1919. William once set up loud
speakers of his own making in the
whale jaw arch, and played music loud
enough to be heard by folks playing
tennis down at McClean Park (1km
away). He tried to own the first TV set
in Kaiwaka but was pipped at the post
by Ray Parker. William had a taxi
service from the 1930s, and built the
original petrol station where Shamrock
Caltex is today.
Tennis was a Dowson family passion,
and Erwin Dowson (Romaine's son)
put a lot of time into developing the
first of the current tennis courts. A
court was named in his honour,
posthumously, in 1987. Erwin was also
a keen on flying, and gained his pilot's
license. Erwin was also a passionate
gardener, and left farming to develop
huge glasshouses and orchards, on the
hill 1 km north of town. Kaiwaka folk
purchased his delicious and well
tended fresh produce during the 1970s
and 80s.
Many descendants of Thomas and his
wife Emily (nee Turner) reside in the
Kaiwaka, Mangawhai and Wellsford
area today. Many are not named
Dowson. Many have moved away:
Auckland, Whangarei, Te Aroha,
Australia, Canada, Hong Kong.
Dowsons are proud of their Kaiwaka
connection. We have a great sense of
the contributions our family have made
to the town during the past 150 years,
and the wonderful opportunities
Kaiwaka offered in return. This is all
outlined in my book The Daffodils Still
Grow at Heelyfield, Kaiwaka. Sharon
Middleton (Dowson).

Our meeting with the Rt Hon Winston
Peters, to present our petition, was a
resounding success. The hall was filled
with members of the community as
well as our Grey Power members, with
two journalists who came to report on
our meeting as well.
For those who were from the
community,
Beverley
gave
a
presentation, giving the background for
the creation of the Petition to Re-
legalise Cannabis for Health Benefits.
She advised of the countries as well as
states within the USA that have now
legalised cannabis.
We also would like to thank all those
who signed our petition which we
handed to Winston Peters, and those
who signed our petition at the end of
the meeting. The more people who
know the truth, the more likely it will
be that we will succeed in re-legalising
this wonderful plant.
Winston was most informative, with
his talk. He explained how our
superannuation fund tops the OECD in
its capability to pay superannuitants not
only the 60% but 65% of the average
wage. This is contrary to the
scaremongering from politicians and
the Superannuation Commissioner. He
is committed to the Gold Card. He is
also committed to conducting a binding
referendum on cannabis.
After his talk, he allowed for a lengthy
question and answer session. Issues,
such as a conflict of interests with a
school donating proceeds of its event to
the National Party, were discussed. We
were most impressed with his talk, and
he was applauded for attending our
meeting, and accepting our petition.
We are planning our Christmas lunch
for our November meeting. Those
wishing to attend are asked to pay their
$5 at our October meeting, please.
We welcome new members so, if you
would like to join us, our meetings are
on the last Wednesday of the month, at
1.00 p.m. in the Maungaturoto
Anglican Church Hall.

We have recently launched the Official

Community Service
The
Samaritan’s
Purse
Project
Operation Christmas Child collects
shoe boxes-filled with school supplies,
hygiene items, fun toys and notes of
encouragement-and delivers them to
children in need around the world when
disaster strikes and at Christmas.
Otamatea High School has been
involved in providing filled boxes for
this project for a number of years. This
year, the Otamatea High School
community service group has decided
to make the fundraising for this event
an Iwi competition with house points
available for the winning Iwi. Over the
past few weeks’ seniors have collected
from each whanau on a daily basis. At
this stage, over $600 has been raised
which will be enough to provide 21
boxes for young people, aged 2 to 14.
OTAMATEA

KAIWAKA WAR
MEMORIAL HALL
ASSN. INC
The annual meeting was held last week,
with little change to the committee.
Chairman, Ad Clarijs, reported that a
number of projects have been
completed: the front doors now show
the names listed on the WWI and
WWII Honours Boards, the new
outside LED lights, a new tuck shop
with a counter donated by Beauticraft,
a new water pump, and under stage
storage - the three big ‘bins’ on castor
wheels easily store the hall tables.
The public toilet water pump has
caused problems with flooding again.
The Kaiwaka Community Movie team
have gone from strength to strength. A
number of the screenings have had a
full house. The children appreciate the
large cushions provided too. The team
is looking for black and white photos
depicting Kaiwaka's history - to screen
before the main movie.
