Thank You from Libby Jones

Peter Pan - directed by Maureen
Skinner.
Peter Pan is the legendary tale of the
boy who never grows old. This
adaptation is recognised in England as
the best available of J.M. Barrie's
masterpiece.
First
produced
professionally in 1993, it has been
revived dozens of times.
A play with music, it has all the
delights of the original story with Peter
Pan, Wendy, the Lost Boys, Tinkerbell,
Captain Hook and the hungry
crocodile, Smee and features gorgeous
mermaids, brave Red Indians and a
motley crew of pirates.
This production is a winner because it
retains all the fun of the original story -
sheer magic in every sense of the word!
Be sure to mark this on your calendars
as a treat for the family. And
remember, we have air-conditioned
premises, comfortable seating and
EFTPOS
available
for
your
convenience.
Show dates
November 25 and December 2, 7.30pm
November 26, 27 and December 3 and
4, 2pm
Adults $22 and School students $7
Tickets are on sale now at Tony’s Lotto
Shop in Maungaturoto and online at

Christmas Tree
While ‘Peter Pan’ is on, ORT will have
a Christmas tree in the foyer, for the
collection of gifts to distribute among
the less-fortunate in our community.
Christmas Carols
Last year, many of us had great fun
singing Christmas carols together, and
performing for the community at
various events. If you would like to be
a part of this year’s choir,
keep an eye out on our
advertising boards for rehearsal dates.
They will start in late November for a
total of six practices, and will
culminate in a special free family
concert to be held at the theatre, in
December.
Youth Theatre 2017
Our
week-long
Youth
Theatre
programme will be held from 23 to 27
January 2017. From Monday to Friday,
9am till 3pm, with the show on the
Friday evening. It is a good way to get
the young ones involved in the theatre.
And it helps them get back in the
routine of school, which starts the
following week.
Youth Theatre is hugely popular and
registrations will be open from
1 November, 2016. Phone or text
Maura Flower 022 354 2670 to register
your interest. Be quick – this
programme is sure to fill up very
quickly!
ORT’s Annual General Meeting
Thursday November 10th 7pm at the
theatre. Everyone is welcome.
See you in Neverland!

The Bugle is asking Wellington to
explain why it will let traffic speed
through town at 60kph against the
recommendations of locals.
In a series of questions to New
Zealand Transport Agency road
safety engineer Mark Newsome, the
Bugle also asks why a speed camera
is to be located south of town when
the danger is on the main street.
In a heartfelt and vigorous report last
issue [Bugle, Oct 4 2016, page 5]
Kaiwaka
Can
chairman
Derek
Christensen applauded NZTA for their
"patience... and traffic calming" but
expressed disappointment that the
authority "forgot the people".
In its announcement of changes to
improve safety [Bugle, Oct 4 2016,
page 13], NZTA indicated it would
abandon a 50kph zone we have enjoyed
since April and replace it with a 60kph
zone, to run in the north from just
before The Coffee Pot to just south of
Shamrock Service Station.
This, as Derek has noted, is on "the
fastest main street in Kaipara District
and the longest stretch of main street
with no parking allowed".
A need to listen
Unfortunately, NZTA is not consulting
Kaiwaka locals - although, as Derek
also points out, they have spoken with
"major stakeholders", namely the
Automobile Association, the Road
Transport Association, New Zealand
Police and Kaipara District Council.
This is despite 18 months of work with
NZTA and KDC to address problems
that have existed for years and have
been raised with authorities for years.
We understand that Winston Peters MP
has already raised matters with NZTA.
Our questions
Now, the Bugle has put these questions
in writing to NZTA and its road safety
engineer Mark Newsome:
Is NZTA aware that:
1, the no-stopping lines in Kaiwaka
stretch 1800 metres (the length of the
village) and are unbroken except for
three bus/bay areas and road entrances?
2, the village is in a dip down which
traffic is encouraged to speed?
3, two bridges constrict flow next to the
two major points of entry to SH1?
4, wait times at these entry points can
be up to 15 minutes at peak times - and
control is by compulsory stop on the
feeder roads?
5, a third point of entry (by the left-
sited shops heading south) allows a
right turn into SH1 traffic?
6, a fatality (car v truck) has occurred
already this year at this right turn? The
casualty was local.
Camera mislocation
Is the NZTA engineer charged with
approval of roading changes aware
that:
7, the police are recommending the
siting of a speed camera on a stretch
south of Kaiwaka where the last fatality
is understood to have happened 30
years ago before recent increases in
traffic volumes?
8, the local community consider this a
revenue gathering exercise rather than
a safety measure as the proposed site is
near passing lanes?
NZTA spokesman Andy Knackstedt
says NZTA is "not in a position to
provide specific responses to the
questions above in the short timeframe
[the Bugle] allowed" but has referred it
on for consideration.
The Bugle will keep you posted.

Rescue Helicopter Fundraiser
Everyone had a great time at the Fire
Station the other week, when Markby
and Flash from MoreFM came for
breakfast.
A total of $5,347 was raised on the day.
Thank you to:
Cheryl Anderson for advertising the
event,
Robert Klink from the Mangawhai
Meat Shop,
the
generous
donations
from
businesses and the community,
Jaques Four Square for supplying
food for the barbeque,
Fire Brigade members and helpers for
running the barbeque,
MoreFM for giving our community
some great advertising and coverage.
New members needed
Kaiwaka Volunteer Fire brigade are
looking for 5 new members.
To be a volunteer you must be 16 years
of age or over. If you're not yet 18
years old, you will need the consent of
your parent or guardian. Apart from
this requirement, almost anybody can
join a Brigade, male or female, young
or old, those looking for adventure or
those just wanting to contribute to their
community. There are opportunities for
people from all backgrounds within a
Volunteer Fire Brigade.
The role you play in a Brigade depends
completely on what you would like to
do. You can be hands-on at an
emergency, or you can provide support
to those people who are. You can even
have a role that doesn't expose you to
emergency incidents. The one aspect
the roles all have in common is that
they require you to attend a weekly
Brigade training night, and that you
participate in Brigade activities.
For more information, please contact
the Chief Fire Officer John Bowmar on
4312248 or go to our website at

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSOCIATION
FRIGHT NIGHT
What a spooktacular time everyone had
at the Kaiwaka Sports Association's
Fright Night on Saturday. Nearly 600
people attended making this our most
successful Fright Night ever!
There was facepainting, a lolly
scramble, a costume competition, a
photo booth, games with prizes, glow
items and a supper-plate competition,
with the highlight for most people being
our freaky haunted house! We had
transformed our downstairs changing
rooms into a hair-raising walk and if the
screams coming from downstairs were
any indication, our scarers did a great
job! What a fabulous array of scary
costumes there were – we had ghostly
ghouls, wicked witches, petrifying
pirates, gruesome gremlins and more!
Congratulations
to
the
costume
prizewinners: Girls: 1st Delana Stonex
(family pass NZ Maritime Museum), 2nd
Molleigh Buxton (family pass
Whangarei Aquatic Centre). Boys: 1st
Lucien Chase (family pass NZ Maritime
Museum), 2nd Lachlan Hill (family pass
Whangarei Aquatic Centre). Adults: 1st
Jamie Dodd (family pass NZ Maritime
Museum), 2nd Anita Granville (family
pass Spookers).
Thank you to everyone who brought a
halloween-themed plate for supper. Our
judges had a very
tricky job as the
tables
were
overflowing with
creative food – we
had
bloodshot
eyeball cupcakes,
cobweb biscuits,
deadman
finger
sandwiches, ghost
meringues
and
more!
Congratulations to
the supper plate
winners:
1st
Sonya
Dickson
(family pass NZ
Maritime
Museum), 2nd Rachel Stirling (family
pass Sheepworld), 3rd Sonya Lynde
(family pass Spookers).
A big thank you to the many helpers on
the night. A special thanks goes to the
'scarers' in the Haunted House who did a
wonderful job and will no doubt have
featured in the nightmares of some
children that night!
Photos can be viewed on the Kaiwaka
Sports Complex facebook page and our

Thank you to everyone who came along
– I hope you had a frightful time!

Kaiwaka Bugle - 1 November 2016
Page 15
In August I received a phone call from
David Williams whose family formerly
owned land on Settlement Road at the
corner of Valley Road, up to the hall and
opposite the R.S.A.
David was doing research on men from the
district who had fallen in the world wars
and asked if I could source a photo of Dick
Linnell who is listed on the Honours Board
in St Michael’s Church, Hakaru.
I didn’t know where to start but contacted
different relatives, with varying amounts of
encouragement until a call to cousin Rosie
Grayson (whose mother was originally
Theodora Linnell), yielded gold. Surprising
even herself she found a photo of Dick in
uniform and also a complete family shot
circa 1890.
With these photos discovered, it still
remained for me to find out more about
Dick and his life, of which I knew nothing.
The Kauri Museum at Matakohe has on
permanent loan various family diaries
going back to his mother’s shipboard diary,
written enroute to New Zealand, with her
parents and siblings, in 1859/60.
Copies of selected diaries were borrowed
so as to try and picture a little of his life
and that of his family.
Mary Hull, his mother, was sixteen years of
age when she wrote her diary; at times an
amusing and perceptive record, undertaken
on the well-appointed, Boston built, 1790
tonne clipper the Blue Jacket.
She and her family boarded ship at
Holyhead (Wales) on 2
nd
December 1859
in soon to be stormy conditions leading to
the hawser to the tug being broken before
getting as far as Cork.
On 17
th
February 1860 she wrote –
“What a little world it is on board ship. I
never in all my life before knew as much of
‘human nature’ but the worst of it is that
you begin to mistrust everybody. They turn
out so differently from what you expect
sometimes.”
Maybe her 12
th
January entry gives some
insight as to her feelings –
“Mr Good has turned out quite differently
from what we first supposed. He is coarse
and vulgar. At first he was so good natured,
covering us up when we were cold, that we
began to like him. But now we are quite
disgusted with him………….”
And as Samuel Johnson put it – “travelling
by sea was so dangerous that it was like
being in prison but with the added
probability of being drowned”
The voyage to Auckland was a slow one
taking 111 days in the clipper which, on
another similar voyage, took only 75 days.
Mary’s parents, Francis and Eliza Hull had
a home built on a land grant north east of
Kaiwaka. Named ‘Fairburn’, it was situated
on Baldrock Road (about a kilometre east
of Gibbons Road, now indicated by a
remaining Norfolk pine in the valley). They
tried to farm and opened a store for trading
with the local gum-diggers and others. This
would have been from 1861 onwards as the
house took a year to build while they
waited in Auckland.
Around this time this Mary Hull met
George Linnell, who had left England as an
18 year old in 1862. He had sailed for NZ
with friends Captain and Mrs Frederick
Forde. George obtained a 40 acre land
grant
at
Pukekaroro
which
he
cleared and,
in 1869 sold
to
George
Washington
Charters for
20 pounds.
He was in
partnership
for a short
time
with
Samuel
Clayton,
grazing and
cattle dealing on land owned by Mrs
Suzanne Clayton (Mrs Brayton in Jane
Mander’s book – “The Story of a New
Zealand River” – which many believe to be
the basis for Jane Campion’s movie – “The
Piano”)
Mary and George Linnell were married in a
double wedding with her sister Lily and
Charles McMurdo at Fairburn in 1867.
Bishop Selwyn walked from Auckland to
officiate.
They lived initially in a small cottage on
the 2300 acre Kaitara block, farmed in
partnership with Francis Geldheart, (now
the Donaldsons, McAulays and others, on
Ranganui Road), which the bride groom,
assisted by an old sailor, had built from
timber cut and pit-sawn himself. It was
there that their first five of eventually eight
children were born.
On 2
nd
July 1879, George’s 35
th
birthday,
he and Mary moved into their new home at
Waihakari, an adjoining property which he
leased and later purchased from a Maori
Chief named Hemara.
The house was built by Thomas William
Dowson with timber sourced from the mill
at Aratapu on the Northern Wairoa river,
carried by the schooner Sea Breeze. This
voyage was made hazardous apparently
due to the drunken pilot.
Three more children were born at
Waihakari (meaning ‘feast by the water’),
Francis (Dick) being the second to
youngest, with James (Jim) the last born
(father of R.T.V. Dick Linnell who married
Vivienne).
At the time of Dick’s birth, Waihakari was
then a farm of 1552 acres (including the
Raepare; now the eco-village). It was a
hive of activity with many different sources
of income and sustenance and the work
force consisting of the family, both boys
and girls.

PROUDLY
PAPAROA DAY
Paparoa’s 150th anniversary of the
arrival of the Albertland settlers was
such a success in 2012, that ever since
there have been mutterings about
another event to celebrate the beautiful
area and diverse community in which
we live.
Beginning at 9.00am, Proudly Paparoa
Day will be filled with a range of
activities to showcase the talent,
beauty and way of living in our
charming village and surrounding area.
Most events are free but tickets for the
garden and gallery trails must be
purchased at Flat Rock Gallery, in the
village, on the day. View gorgeous
gardens, the creations of local artists
and crafters, enjoy nature walks and do
-it-yourself heritage trails plus a 90
minute guided tour of the village.
Visit our local cheesemaker, enjoy
tastings at the brew shop, the regular
Saturday market and partake of
refreshments in the gardens on the
way. Local community organisations
will be set up on the Village Green to
increase community awareness of
village services and places to visit. To
keep the small fry happy, pony and fire
engine rides will be operating. For the
coffeeholics, there is good coffee at the
market and village cafes, and for
shoppers, a great array of products at
the village shops. Food will also be
available at the Village Green and in
the market.
So don’t stay home and think about it;
JOIN US in Paparoa on 5 November
and help us celebrate ‘our place’.

novelty cakes, small cakes and large
cakes and decorate them. Students
work is judged by two judges and the
cakes are auctioned off for fundraising
purposes.
Any students that school at home are
always welcome to join in the day’s
events in which placings are awarded
for all categories of pets, floral displays
and cake decorating. Those that Home

FAST FIVE NETBALL MODULE
Over seventy people participated in the Kaiwaka Sports
Association's Fast Five Module, held over six weeks on
Sunday afternoons in the KSA gymnasium.
The six teams were a mixture of young & old, male &
female and experienced netballers & novices with players
coming from Kaiwaka, Mangawhai, Wellsford, Waipu and
Maungaturoto.
With only five players on court in each team, Fast Five
games are very quick and intense, and several older players
mentioned that they really appreciated the rolling subs!
The finals were hotly contested with Fairy Nuff taking on
the unbeaten Spartans. The Spartans came out on top and
took home the winners purse of $300 and Fairy Nuff took
away the second place prize of $200. The third prize of
$100 went to Wrong Direction.
After the finals, players moved into the pavilion for
prizegiving, congratulations to the prize winners:
Youngest player – Sara Kemp
Oldest player – Neville Nathan
Top female defender – Jayme Curtis
Top male defender – Jack Brown
Top female shooter – Shanelle Kemp
Top male shooter – Jason Taiaroa
The prize for Most Organised Team went to Netballs to the
Wall – a $50 voucher kindly donated by the Three Furlongs
Bar & Grill.
Team managers nominated one person from their team to
receive a special prize:
Hot Shotz – Most improved: Ben Saua
Ks Up – Best defender: Quorie Wilson
Spartans – Best shooter: Sam Phillips & Most Improved:
Daniel Kawana-Pool
Netballs to the Wall – Most Reliable: Sunita Kaleta
Wrong Direction – Ladies travelling each week from

STOAT TRAPS
This is stoat season. Anyone wishing to borrow a trap for a
month to protect kiwi and another ground-nesting birds,
please contact us at the KOBA (Kaira Oneriri Biosecurity
Area).
To quote Wikipedia: "Stoats were introduced into New
Zealand during the late 19th century to control rabbits and
hares, but are now a major threat to native bird populations.
The introduction of stoats was opposed by scientists in New
Zealand and Britain, including the New Zealand
ornithologist Walter Buller. The warnings were ignored and
stoats began to be introduced from
Britain in the 1880s, resulting in a
noticeable decline in bird populations
within six years. Stoats are a serious
threat to ground- and hole-nesting
birds, since they have very few means
of escaping predation."

As members of the Otamatea Area
committee we were proud to be present
at a recent awards ceremony in
Whangarei. With Trevor Brljevich
(62yrs), Vic Rosser (52yrs) and Reg
Jaques (27yrs) – a total of 141 years’
service that has been given (and they
are all very active in St John)
Since the Division was formed in 1955
we have efficiently provided a service
for the wider Otamatea Area –
originally we went through to the
Causeway in Mangawhai. While we
have effectively provided this from two
stations we have aimed to provide
services and equipment to both
Kaiwaka and Maungaturoto on an ‘as
needs’ basis.
We have provided buildings as they
have been needed and upgraded them
as we found a need. While the running
of the vehicles is met by the Region, as
is the Station Manager’s salary (an
estimated cost of approximately
$400,000) we have provided all the
training and equipment that is needed
for our volunteers. We are also very
proud of our Cadet unit which currently
has 52 members from throughout our
area. Nyree and her helpers do a great
job.
While in the past six years our funding
has been boosted by a very efficient Op
Shop run by Milly based in Kaiwaka,
net income is used for the benefit of
people throughout our Otamatea Area.
Whenever we are made aware of any
needs that will assist our community,
we endeavour to meet them.
Most
equipment
is
incredibly
expensive and to purchase one Resusci
Anne and have another one repaired,
we had to outlay more than $10,000. In
the past year we have also purchased
defibrillators to be used by the Hakaru
Pony club and the Otamatea Marae (a
combined cost of $4,000).
In the past few years we have upgraded
the ambulance building in Kaiwaka and
have had the trees removed (this cost
almost $5,000). We have also had to
pay for consultants for earthquake risk
on both stations – this cost us $8,000.
Apart from large items we have to meet
our other expenses include general
running costs that are incurred at both
stations. It is important that we look
after our volunteers (which includes
our Op shop ladies), whether it be for
Op shop rental (last year $18,000),
training, equipment, or conference
costs.
Having a larger pool of
money available has
meant that we have
been able to better
support
all
those
involved in St John in
Otamatea.

At the Op Shop we need large
ornaments, nic-nacs, pictures… Our
shelves are looking bare. We have a
lot of kitchen stuff, but not a lot of the
above.
Also much appreciated would be
towels, tea towels, pillows, CDs and
DVDs, pot plants, and anything else.
Clean and tidy donations only, please -
all dirty clothes go to the dump, which
is a waste. Thanks. ~Milly
