TE URI O HAU KAPA HAKA FESTIVAL
held at Otamatea High School on 10 June 2017. Thanks to Josie Gritten Photography for the photos.
JAQUES BROTHERS - A BRILLIANT BLAST FROM THE PAST!
Tony Hargreaves welcomed a wonderful crowd to the Kaiwaka Sports Complex and gave a
background to the band including those who had played with them over a 60 year period (not all at
once, of course). The brothers were all born in Kaiwaka and started their band in 1950 - Bill 17 on
the piano, Brian 15 with the piano accordion, and Reg 13 playing the tenor banjo.
More than 100, of mostly senior citizens, who have great memories of the Jaques’ dance music
danced and reminisced! The Kaiwaka Centennial Book 1959 notes on page 91,
“ All through the years,
dancing has always been a popular source of amusement, and while orchestras were often hired from Auckland,
Whangarei and other centres to supply the music, much local talent has been available. Latterly, the most
sought after band is the Jaques Brothers' band, these boys being great-great-
grandsons of Joseph Bowmar.”
In the early years they played two or three
times a week, especially in the local halls.
Most memorable were Tobaccolands Hall
(originally a tobacco drying shed) and
Hakaru, and wedding dances. In some cases
they have played for couples and then later
at their children’s wedding. Currently they
play electronic instruments - Bill the piano,
Brian piano accordion, and Reg the organ.

KNITTING FOR
WHANGAREI
HOSPITAL
Feedback from Elizabeth R, former
Kaiwaka resident: “Recently, when
volunteering
at
the
Whangarei
Processing Centre Hospice Shop, we
were entertained by a delightful little
girl, of about 18 months of age, who
was laughing and running around
despite the fact that she had an oxygen
tube through her nasal breathing
passages. She was wearing the most
colourful, delightful hand knitted
cardigan. I asked, naturally, who the
knitter was. I was surprised to find that
what she was wearing was done by the
group from Kaiwaka, who knit for
Whangarei Hospital. The family were
really appreciative of all the items they
had received from this group. ”
The Knitting group meet on the second
Tuesday of every month in the Archie
Bull at 10am. You are welcome to
bring knitting or sewing for youngsters
in Whangarei hospital.
They also make blankets and knee rugs
for the dialysis unit. Wool or knitting
donations can be left at The Apple
Basket, SH 1 Kaiwaka.

From the Principal
With great pleasure we welcome Miss
Karima Bencheihk onto the permanent
staff at Kaiwaka School. Karima has
won this position which has been
recently advertised nationally.
We had a magnificent day at the
Matariki Kapa Haka Festival at OHS
the other week. Thank you to all the
parents and caregivers who got their
children there after a busy morning at
Sports. We had over 80 students in our
performances. Thank you to all the
parents who assisted with getting the
students into their costumes. Of special
note was the stunning Junior Kapa
Haka group, who stole the show!
Thank you Karima for tutoring these
children. Our seniors were exceptional
also. Thanks especially to Sharlene and
Katherine for preparing these students,
and of course Whaea Mina Paikea.
Warm regards, Rosie Ellis
Health Curriculum Survey and After
School Care Survey
We need your help, please.
Our Health Curriculum is very full and
covers a lot of topics. We need to
prioritize what we put into the Health
Programmes, as everything can not be
covered adequately. We want to know
what you think are the most important
aspects of the Health Curriculum.
The Board of Trustees is keen to gauge
how much interest there would be in
our school organising a registered,
approved, subsidised After School
Centre, now that Small Pukekos can no
longer assist us with this.
A Survey Monkey survey has been sent
to all email addresses that we have on
file. Please respond to this with your
thoughts as soon as you can. If you
prefer a hard copy, or would like it
resent, please contact the Office.
Thanks so much.
Camp Meeting
Kia ora Parents and Caregivers of Year
3, 4 and 5 students
You are all invited to a Camp Meeting.
This will be on Thursday , 29th July at
7.00pm in the school library. This will
be to discuss if we should continue
having school camps, how to manage
rising costs, and where to go next year.
We need to re-think our school camps,
as unfortunately it is not possible to
keep the costs to a minimum. Camp
fees, travel expenses and activity costs
keep going up and up. We want the
students to have a great time, and learn
new things. We have come up with 3
options for 2018 and want your input.
Lost Property
There are stacks and stacks of lost
property items at school. Please give
your children a good reminder to
collect up all their belongings.
Unfortunately we will have to dispose
of any still remaining at the end of the
term, as we do not have storage space.
PTA update
Thank you to all the parents who have
come to the meetings to help and
contribute to our fundraising efforts
and ideas so far, your help is much
appreciated.
The School has approached us for a
donation towards new Chrome books
for Room 6. We have given them
$2500 towards this with a goal to
fundraise for the other half in the next
couple of months.
We will also be looking at new iPads
for the junior classes after this.
We will be having a WACKY HAIR
DAY on the 7th of July, this is also the
last day of term so have decided to
have a TOASTIE day too. Please help
us by supporting this fundraising idea,
if you can help on the day making
toasties please give me a call.
We will also be doing another Big
Boys Breakfast closer to Fathers’
Day...Watch this space, we will need
your help to make this event a huge
success.
If you have any ideas/ would like to
help, I would love to hear from you.
Please give me a call or see me at the

Lots happening slowly for Kaiwaka...
There is no shortage of projects under
way in Kaiwaka at present. Kaiwaka
Can has a full agenda and some good
things are in store for our township.
Te Uri O Hau
We held a very productive meeting
recently with Te Uri O Hau, Council
and Kaiwaka Can. This is the
foundation for a far closer future
relationship and input on projects of
mutual interest as well as a way of
raising our awareness of the past and
present realities for our community.
NZTA, the speed limit and other
projects
The proposed speed limit of 60k for
Kaiwaka is still waiting to be gazetted,
We hope to see action on this soon.
The pedestrian refuges are also due for
installation and too a footpath
extension from the La Nonna Bakery
shops almost to Oneriri Road. Tree
planting in now in the hands of council
contractors, aiming to brighten the
eastern verge of the highway from
Three Furlongs up to the motorbike
shop. NZTA is also planning changes
to the slipway by the shops that include
the two cafes but is still working
through submissions local residents
made on the design.
Oneriri Road intersection
This is a constant talking point for
people who live in Oneriri Road.
Council has had an engineer working
on possible solutions but as yet there is
no easy or agreed resolution. There is
real tension between the needs of a
small town that wants to grow and the
demands of heavy traffic along the
main state highway for Northland. We
are working with Council to prepare a
submission or petition to get some
serious solutions on the table for the
future. Predictions are that Oneriri
Road (and its offshoots) will soon be
home to 700 people, all having to use
one intersection.
Gateway sculptures
After a great deal of hard work from
Marijke and others, we have settled on
two designs to submit to NZTA for
approval (yes, their influence stretches
each side of the highway!) but Council
has graciously made sure the seed
funding for the project is available.
These two sculptures, at each entrance
to Kaiwaka, will make a bold and
beautiful
statement,
capturing
something of the heritage of the people
of the land and the setting of Kaiwaka
itself. We are grateful for the assistance
of Te Uri O Hau in working through
appropriate final design features. Long
term we also plan a sculpture in the
centre of town where people can stop
and explore more fully the meaning of
Kaiwaka. In the same vein, we are also
working on several story boards that
tell the story of our ancestry and
heritage.
New signage
Have you noticed the new signs put up
by Council at key sites throughout
Kaiwaka? These are going up right
through the region and are a welcome
addition to our township.
Business Expo
Kaiwaka now has many people
operating small businesses with a great
diversity of styles and aims. There will
be a business expo on July 8th at the
Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall, open in
the morning for business people to
network and explore fresh possibilities
and open from lunch on for the general
public. This will be a great time to see
just how much is happening around us.
Playground
We are just waiting for the new
equipment to be installed and then the
fence will go up round it.
Kaiwaka Cares
They now have a new home in the
building formerly known as The Ark
and soon to be opened as The Heart.
There will be a number of groups
operating here thanks to the generosity
of a local trust which owns the
facilities and this will be a great
addition to the services we have in our
township.
And lots of other things on the go...
...such as development of MacLean
Park, a walkway opposite the Park,
hopefully one day railing on the
northern bridge to keep pedestrians
safe, inprovements to the underpass at
the southern bridge. Long term one or
two are looking at raising the quality of
the small bush areas round town by
removing weeds and pest plants,
trapping predators and creating a
cleaner environment. Long term they
have their sights on Pukekaroro, our
dominant landscape feature. A local
volunteer neighbourhood patrol is also
in our thinking.
To our delight a small group of
concerned parents working with
council have achieved a solution to the
bus shelter needs in Settlement Road.
Thanks for your initiative and hard
work.
And someone has a bridge for sale...
Helen Marsh brought to our attention a
long steel footbridge for sale in
Matakohe. It is so long it could span
either of our rivers and maybe provide
foot access where at present there is
only a dangerous highway to cross.
Nothing official – just great spotting by
Helen and a fascinating idea.
Lots more is happening but this gives
you some idea of what we have been
doing with our time in partnership with
Council.

Creative Colouring for
‘The Jungle Book’
The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling’s
classic tale of the little boy raised in
the jungle by wolves, will come to life
on the Otamatea Repertory Theatre
stage in Maungaturoto, in August.
Director and musical director, Peter
and Maura Flower, say they are excited
to be using an adaptation of the play
that is making its World Premiere in
Nottingham, in the United Kingdom, in
July.
“We will be the second theatre in the
world to stage this version of the
show,” Maura says. “We had been
hunting for an adaptation to produce
and couldn’t find one we liked. I came
across some of BB Cooper’s music on
YouTube. I got in touch with her and
learned that there was a new
adaptation, written by Toby Hulse,
with music by BB Cooper and she sent
me a perusal script. It is a lot more
suitable for our audiences, so it was
quite serendipitous.”
Mowgli
Playing the lead role of Mowgli, is
young Paparoa lad, Matai Hartles.
Although it is his first major role,
Matai is already an accomplished
singer and performer. Last year at the
Northland Performing Arts Festival, he
won the title of Junior vocal champion.
Colouring competition
A colouring competition is being run
to create interest in The Jungle Book.
There will be three age groups – Under
12, 12-18 and Adult. There will be
prizes for each section, and all entries
will be on display in the theatre foyer
during the show season. The colouring
-in page may be downloaded from
www.ort.org.nz or you can pick one up
from Tony’s Lotto Shop. If that is too
difficult, contact Katrina on 021 701
079
Make sure you put your name, age and
contact phone number on the reverse
of your picture, and drop into Tony’s.
The competition closes on July 31st.
The Jungle Book season runs
from August 4th to August 20th.
Adults $28 School students $12
Bookings are now available online at
www.ort.org.nz or at Tony’s Lotto
Shop. There is a Special Family Deal
for the first Saturday – Two adults plus
two children for
the price of two
adults
only.
Hurry – these are
bound
to
be
snapped up. The
Family Deal is
only available at

OTAMATEA
REPERTORY

SMELLY RAT TIME
Winter rats want food and warmth
and find this in roofs, walls,
woodsheds and other places.
This week a farmer down Oneriri
found a rat nest in his tractor and had
to remove the fanbelt to clear it.
Other people hear rats skitter in the
house and sheds.
If the animals’ necessities are met, as
DOC senior ranger Nigel Miller says
they
are
in
Northland,
rats will breed year-round. They don’t
hibernate.
Numbers are driven by resources, so
they will infest warm grain stores in
June, but do it hard in the wet of the
bush.
They seek protein – consuming other
animals, eggs, seeds, insects, fruit, and
grain.
Every night they hunt food in their
territories using their powerful sense of
smell. But when rats are cold and
hungry, breeding stops because this
puts rat lives at risk.
Rat profiles
There are two rat types
• the Norway rat which eats anything
vaguely palatable but is not a great
climber. It is a burrower, digs tunnels
and is very tough on cavity nesters.
• the Ship rat which is mousy looking
with bigger ears, is a climber, smaller
and more agile – and is the one in the
roof (picture).
Nigel Miller says rat control helps
protect other animals including kereru,
patiki, brown teal, fantails, warblers
and fairy terns.
He says kokako really get hammered
because their nests are close to main
trunk and kereru are also at risk but
less so because they nest further out.
They can scent kereru but could lose a
scent in a tree and abandon the hunt.
Rats cover most of territory every night
and check every tree in it over three or
four nights, Nigel Miller says.
In houses, they will attack roosting
birds but most birds in roofs have
escape routes. ~ Writewords Ltd.
THE RETURN OF
THE GLASS MILK
BOTTLE
Delightful to get milk today in a glass
bottle from the Grayson’s in Bagnall
Road, Mangawhai. Pictured left.
Cost was $6 for the litre bottle but
refreshingly it can be refilled for $2.50
a litre.
That will cut out the oily plastic that’s
leaving this house in a yellow sack.
Cheers to them.

Do you know what
‘Respite Care’ is?
Did you know it’s available
in Maungaturoto?
Respite care is a service that provides
caregivers and whanau with a
temporary rest while the person in their
care continues to be looked after in a
safe environment.
If you are the full-time, unpaid carer
for a loved one, then respite services
may be available for you.
The team at Maungaturoto rest home
offers rest home level respite care for
families needing a break, or the cared
for needing a break from their carer.
Although we are a resthome there are
no age restrictions on who we provide
care for. The friendly atmosphere in
the rest home acts as a home away
from home with staff on duty 24/7. On
call we have Senior Staff along with
the Nurse Manager.
Referral for this service is via your GP
who will contact the ‘needs assessment
team’ at Whangarei Base Hospital. For
any further information please don’t
hesitate to contact us on (09) 4318 696.
Thank You
And may we add a very big thank you.
Firstly to Albie Paton who ran a
Queens Birthday Bash at the Country
Club and also the team at The Den who
held a 2 day garage sale, all to raise
funds for our much needed stage one
Dementia unit extension. Funds raised
so far are in excess of $6500, with
more to come. Thank you, your efforts
are very much appreciated.
Also to the Marsden Lodge for their
generous donation which has been
used to purchase a shiny new and
much loved wound trolley and 2 new
lounge suites for the resthome, thank
you.

Nurse (Matron) Emma Hattaway was
born in 1864 to Captain Robert
Hattaway and his wife Maria (nee
O'Leary). In February of 1919, Emma
took up the position of Matron at the
Otamatea Cavell Memorial Hospital in
Paparoa. After less than 18 months on
the job Emma Hattaway fell seriously
ill and died from heart failure on 15
July 1920.
The Old Paparoa Hospital is 100 years
old this year. It was named after Edith
Cavell, a British nurse based in
Belgium in the early stages of WW1
who was executed by the German
military for treason following betrayal
by a French collaborator.
The maternity hospital opened in 1917
and operated until 1974, after which
women had to make the trip to
Whangarei
Hospital,
Warkworth
Cottage
Hospital,
or
Dargaville
Maternity to have their babies. Anne
McDonald, present owner of the old
hospital, is keen to commemorate its
centenary this year in some way. She
would also like to compile a booklet of
people's personal experiences and
memories. There are many locals who
can still say ‘I had my children there’
and/or ‘I was born there’. If you have
such memories Anne would love to
hear
from
you.

SCHOLARSHIP
Applications close 1st July for the
Rural Women New Zealand and
Access Community Health scholarship
programme. The $3000 scholarship is
aimed at applicants who are working in
a professional health field with rural
connections, and who wish to further
their studies in health or disability
studies.
The scholarship represents the ongoing
special relationship between Access,
now a member of the Green Cross
Health group, and its founding
organisation, Rural Women New
Zealand.
“Scholarship recipients have ranged
from paramedics through to nurse
practitioners,” says Fiona Gower,
Rural Women New Zealand National
President. “They have a common
aspiration to develop their professional
knowledge and work in rural health
services.”
Beverley Forrester Scholarship
A new scholarship is being offered by
Rural Women NZ member Beverley
Forrester (pictured) funded by royalties
from her book The Farm at Black
Hills.
Three $1000 scholarships available to
applicants aged 18 to 25 with a
diagnosed physical disability and
pursuing, or wishing to pursue, a
course or career
in agriculture or
a
rural-based
industry; or a
rural
person
wishing
to
study in the
health
and/or
disability
fields.
Applications

2017.

The Children’s Team
held a hui at the Maungaturoto St John
Hall on Tuesday 20 June regarding
establishing a Kaipara base to work
with families, putting the health and
welfare of children first. This is not a
new service – it’s a different approach.
We at OCS have received many
donations which helps us continue our
work - from large organisations in the
city to individuals and local service
agencies right here in Maungaturoto;
without these donations we would not
be able to provide many of the
services we do. We send our grateful
thanks to those generous donors on
behalf of the clients whose lives have
been enriched in some way.
Winter arrives again and with it all the
usual coughs, colds and runny noses
etc. We are seeing a lot of people with
these complaints but not as many as
the Medical Centre – what is supposed
to be a quick word with one of their
brilliant nurses - “the Doctors are all
full up this week, sorry” – turns into
an hour waiting before a hurried but
helpful word with the nurse. How
fortunate we are to have our needs
seen to, and what’s a bit of waiting
time when there are such dedicated
professionals to help us. Some of these
people and others come to the
Community
House
with
other
difficulties; like trying to find
somewhere to live, or how to make
ends meet when unexpected expenses
turn their budget upside down. Life is
tough at times and we do the best we
can to help out using all resources
available to us.
It just takes one news report to help us
put these problems into some
perspective. Just before this article
went to press there began one of the
worst disasters one could imagine e.g.
the apartment building fire in London.
A day later and the news reports tell of
an unknown number of lost lives and
residents missing, with dozens injured.
This horrific event coupled with the
endless fighting and terrorist attacks in
troubled regions really do make for
shocking reading. We spare a thought
for those affected as we go about our
usual daily routine. ~The Team at OCS
