KAIWAKA – HERE WE

COME!

SCOUTS New Zealand is excited to be

holding their ultimate adventure for

Venturers (14 - 18 year old) in Kaiwaka

from December 31st 2018 – January 11th

2019.

Every three years ‘Venture’ is held, offering

this section of scouting the opportunity to

extend

themselves

with

challenging

activities, build friendships that will endure

for years and enjoy the local wonders the

location offers. It is expected that up to

1,000 youth will attend including many

overseas participants, leaders and staff.

The 2019 Venture has been named

‘Illuminate 2019’ recognising the ‘little town

of lights’ where it will be centred, and will

theme many of its activities around ‘lights’.

The camp will be based at the Kaiwaka

Sports Complex and will also utilise

Kaiwaka School. “The size and atmosphere

of this site is just perfect”, says Cory Lang,

Venture Director. “And, to top that off, we

have had a hugely positive and welcoming

response from the local community.”

Participants will be taking advantage of the

wonders of Northland – the beaches, the

caves, the back country, the many sea

activities and the variety of adventure

tourism that is on offer. “For most, this will

be an adventure that stays with them for the

rest of their lives, a place where they make

friendships and challenged themselves”,

explains Lang.

“While our primary purpose is to equip our

youth with skills and experiences that will

serve them well as they prove to be good

citizens in the world, we would also like to

think that we are able to give something

back to the community that has hosted us

and are mindful to look for those

opportunities”.

CHIEF SCOUT PRESENTATION

Former Scout Leader Tony

Hargreaves presented Kaiwaka/

Mangawhai

Scouts

Jade

Tornquist, Hamish Ferguson and

Eliana-Rose Kerrigan with their

Chief Scouts Awards in Kaiwaka

on Sunday 9 July, with other

scouts, their families, and friends.

The Chief Scout is a very difficult

award to achieve, as the skill level

required must be demonstrated to

a high standard. Skills they must

accomplish include the five main

areas of skill and commitment,

community,

leadership,

new

experiences, outdoor, and personal

development.

greatest, there were still quite a few birds

weighed in. The results will be in the next

Good to see the young ones out there giving it a go…

Happy Birthday to Amanda Ries on her 8th birthday, and

thank you for sharing it with our Club.

Results: the $50 Raffle was won by Hayley Campbell #48.

Closing for maintenance

I expect you’ve seen by now the poster

on page 2 of this Bugle, announcing

that we’ll be closing for a while so we

can do some maintenance on the place.

Our last day before it all starts is

Saturday 15 July - that is the end of

this week. Do come in and borrow a

stack of books before we close, to see

you through the ‘dry spell’ - and help

reduce the amount we have to pack and

shift.

You can take out more items than usual

before we close, and any that come due

while we’re shut will have their due

date extended so you’re not shut out of

the library’s free online services in the

meantime. You will still be able to

return books through the after-hours

slot as usual, and I’ll keep an eye on

that so it doesn’t fill up. This does not

include any books borrowed especially

for you from another library - these

will still need to be returned by the due

date, please.

Once all the books and shelves have

been cleared out of the library, a team

of volunteers led by our committee’s

chairman will be coming in to paint the

walls, fix the ceiling, and anything else

they can take care of while they’re at it.

Then, we will be putting down carpet

before moving everything back in

again.

The plan is to open again on Monday 7

August, but if we manage to get it all

done more quickly than anticipated we

will open sooner, and resume our

normal hours.

This is a huge project, and my thanks

go especially to our chairman, Ad

Clarijs, and the rest of the hall

committee, for putting up with it being

delayed for some time while I got some

‘ducks into a row’, and providing all

the advice and support I’ve needed.

Dargaville book swap

A group of us went to Dargaville

recently and swapped out the

Dargaville Public Library books from

our shelves for new ones. There’s a

great selection of titles there, both

fiction and non-fiction. Do come in and

see what’s here, there’s something for

everyone. We have these books until

early December.

Justice of the Peace

While the library is shut for

maintenance, I’ll still be putting the JP

sign out in town. Look for it either at

the library or the hall, and when it’s on

display I’m inside and available to act

as a JP for you. I’ll also post in the

local Facebook group as usual when

the sign is out, to let you know when

I’m around. You can also find local JPs

listed on the back page of this paper, or

at justiceofthepeace.org.nz/ ~Wendy

Seventeen members attended the

June meeting on a miserable

winter’s day; those that came

were so dedicated, and those

already with the flu were wise to stay

home.

Our birthday girl was Margaret

Haverfield

We had a visit from the Police "No no-

one was arrested"!! Officer Jeff

Medlund and Trevor Downey came to

speak on community patrols, which are

now in place in Mangawhai during the

dark hours. It makes us feel safe and is

a very good cause, especially for those

living alone, and we were very happy

to make a donation towards transport

up-keep and training courses, etc.

There has been a lot less crime, stolen

cars, erratic driving, unwanted visitors

since these volunteers started up again.

The vans are sign-posted in case you

notice strange vehicles at night.

Lena and Gloria made a big impression

in their red and white "poppy" dresses

made for the fancy dress evening at

give a full conference report in August.

The raffle this month was won by Jan

Mann all the way from Rarotonga!!

Good to have you back safe Jan.

Twenty one over-80 members and ex

members attended the afternoon tea.

Each senior celebrity received an

interesting box of goodies lovingly put

together by Gloria and fun was had by

all. Bill Jaques kindly added to the

enjoyment of the day by playing a few

tunes on the "over 80's" piano.

Congratulations to Jaques Band on

their attaining 75 years of playing as a

we are so proud of you. Reg was busy

overseas waiting to bring back the cup

so hope he can make it next year!!

Oh gosh, here we are into the second

half of 2017.

What a wonderful surprise trip to

Bermuda and back we had! Plus

bringing the Auld Mug back - sweet

as. A beautiful tropical island with

friendly locals and the weather to

match. Hot and sunny - yes, they have

rain and plenty of it with cloudy days

and the winds favoured Emirates Team

New Zealand. Awesome.

Kaiwaka weather has not been too bad

for June. A lot more sunshine would

have been good to see. The wind with

those rain storms was not very

comfortable. The calm days made up

for it, though.

June 2017 at our house saw 238mm

and in June 2016 we had 138mm.

Our wettest June has been 2009 with

300mm, and the driest June was 2012

with 52mm.

For the first six months of 2017 we had

1073mm of rain, and in the first six

months of 2016 we had 676mm.

Our wettest first six months since 1987

was 2017, with 1073mm, and the driest

was 1994 with 300mm.

We had rain on 12 days of June this

year, and in 2016 we had rain on 18

days.

Once again, thank you to

our neighbour Jan who does

a great job of reading the

rainfall for me.

Remember to take care on

the roads out there -

especially with the school

holidays coming up.

OUR NEWEST TV

STAR!

You must have guessed who the star of

the ‘Youi’ advertisement was - yes,

Ben Hita. Ben has added another string

to his busy bow.

Six months in a (slightly)

cooler climate

If you’ve been feeling a little cooler,

it’s because temperatures are notably

down on average. The first six months

of last year set up 2016 to become the

hottest year on record, with an average

temperature of 15.2°C. For January to

June this year that figure has dropped

to 13.8°C.

In spite of the cool-down, January-June

2017 still ranks as the 39th-warmest

January-June period in the last 109

years, according to NIWA’s Seven

Station Temperature Series.

NIWA forecaster Ben Noll says the

direction from which the air is coming

plays an important role in temperatures

across New Zealand. Sub-tropical

northerlies tend to draw down warm,

humid air while southerlies via the

Southern Ocean can pack a chilly

punch. Unlike 2016, January-June of

2017 has not had an abundance of

northerly winds.

Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) also

significantly influence air temperature.

During the first half of 2017, SSTs

around New Zealand were not nearly as

warm as they were during the first half

of 2016. And while they were 0.06°C

above the long-term average, the figure

for the same period last year was 1.22°

C above average.

if there’s one weather feature this year

has been known for, it’s heavy rain

from the likes of the Tasman Tempest,

ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie, and ex-

Tropical Cyclone Cook.

From the Principal

We will be having a bit of a staff

reshuffle next term, for the rest of this

year.

Because I have been selected to be the

Lead Principal for the Twin Coasts

Community of Learning l Kahui Ako,

there will be times when I am working

with

our

collegial

schools:

Maungaturoto, Otamatea High School,

Mangawhai Beach School and Paparoa

School. We are all now a group of

schools working together to improve

learning and teaching for all our

students.

To manage in the best way for our

school, we have employed another

teacher to teach in Room 5. Sharlene

Tornquist will be released full time and

will support all the teachers and

students across the school, as well as

take on some of the leadership

responsibilities.

The new teacher is Mrs Jennifer

Langridge. Jennifer comes to us from

Arahua School and is very highly

recommended. Her strengths are

literacy and creative arts. We are

looking forward to welcoming Jennifer

into our school.

~Warm regards, Rosie Ellis

Board of Trustee’s

Report

We have a very healthy roll of 127

students, and are continuing to grow.

The front of the school is to be paved

and tidied up during the school

holidays.

The

Board

welcomes

Karima

Bencheikh onto the permanent staff of

our school.

Please participate in the Health

Curriculum and After School Care

survey. It is in a Survey Monkey

format.

The Board was very proud of our

school’s performance at the recent

Kapa Haka Festival. We thank Karima

for preparing the juniors so splendidly,

and thank Sharlene and Katherine for

preparing our confident and stunning

seniors, while Whaea Mina was on

leave.

The PTA has donated $2500 towards

Chromebooks for our school. The

Board will supplement this with $2000,

so that there will be enough

Chromebooks for one between two

pupils in Room 6.

We are expecting the Education

Review Office to visit our school next

term. This is for an external audit of

our school’s performance and gives us

valuable information about how we are

going.

Astrolab Trip

Everyone enjoyed our trip to Starlab,

and the Matakohe Kauri Museum. We

all learnt a lot and will return to the

Museum again in the near future for a

full day. Thank you to the parents and

caregivers that helped: Dominique

FIFTY YEARS AGO

Decimal currency move a

defining moment

Many of us will remember 50 years

ago when pounds became dollars!

On Monday 10 July one of the defining

moments in New Zealand’s history

happened when we moved from

pounds, shilling and pence to decimal

currency.

Decimalisation was first discussed as

early as the 1900s, but it wasn’t until

the 1960s that both the National and

Labour parties supported it.

The government then published all the

proposed designs, and got the public to

vote on them. Designs by London-born

New Zealander James Berry emerged

as the public favourite and in 1966 the

government chose Berry for all six new

coins.

Designs for the notes – the first New

Zealand paper money to show the

reigning monarch - were kept under

wraps until June 1967 to thwart

counterfeiters.

There was also much public discussion

over what to call the new currency.

Names suggested included ‘crown’,

‘fern’, ‘tūi’, ‘Kiwi’ and ‘zeal’. In the

end, both Australia and New Zealand

settled on ‘dollar’.

Once that was decided the new money

had to be made – 27 million new

banknotes and 165 million new coins

had to be minted and distributed in

time for the change-over. The new

money was valued at $120 million and

weighed more than 700 tonnes.

Banks closed from Wednesday 5 July

until Monday 10 July to give bank staff

time to convert their records into

dollars and cents. And, of course, the

now-obsolete old money had to be

disposed of.

More information about the switch to

decimal currency is available on the

NZHistory websites, including the

song which was used to help the public

understand what was happening.

My husband Anchal and I (Heidi

Clark) took ownership of ‘the Ark’ in

May which we have renamed ‘the

Heart’ or Ngakau. We have always

shared a vision to give to others and we

thought the buildings would offer a

space where community members can

come together and offer a range of

services for the benefit others. The idea

is based on a gift economy where you

give without thinking ‘what's in it for

me’ or ‘what will I get in return’ as we

all have a special skill or talent to offer.

We have done a lot of renovating such

as adding insulation, new gib, lighting,

carpet and some fresh paint to the

buildings. The hall has had a heat

pump installed to create a warm and

welcoming space where classes,

workshops and meetings can be held.

Three of the six rooms have been

rented by Kaiwaka Cares and a

naturopathic practitioner. There are still

two therapy rooms available that I hope

some wellness practitioners such

as: massage, physio, osteopathic or

counselling professionals will fill.

I have also saved one room for hot

desking to support other local

charities and social enterprises in

the community.

We will be starting yoga and

pilates classes in August and

would love to see more classes for

the community happening. Anchal

will be starting ‘laughter yoga

classes’ and community ‘kirtan’,

which is meditative music played

on a ‘tabla’, which are classical

Indian drums.

The new facility ‘the Heart/Ngakau’

will receive a blessing by local

Kaumatua and an open house will be

held on July 22, 12-4pm. Everyone is

welcome.

Ultimately we would like to help others

to live a healthier, happier and less

stressful life and provide opportunities

for social entrepreneurship. Anyone

who likes the idea of sharing a space

within a cooperative charitable trust

environment

most

welcome

join us. Please

contact Heidi,

for

information

or if you are

interested in

renting

room.

COUNCILLOR’S COMMENT*

with Otamatea Ward Councillor Jonathan Larsen

July is shaping up to be a busy

month for Council. We have a

number of sessions scheduled

to work on the Long Term

Plan, which is our ten-year

budget that is reviewed every

three years.

The

district-wide

public

Roading Meetings have been

well

attended.

This

has

allowed people to better

understand

how

Council

roading

funding

and

maintenance works and raise

issues of concern. Anyone with

roading issues is encouraged in the first instance to either

phone

. If you aren’t happy with the

response then you can contact me and I will follow up.

I have lodged six items on the agenda of the upcoming

Council meeting. The first proposal involves the filming of

Council meetings for livestreaming or on demand video

viewing. Our district is spread over a large geographical

area. Putting this initiative in place will allow ratepayers to

better engage with, and monitor the performance of their

elected members.

I am proposing making Council’s informal workshops open

to the public, and advertising their dates and subjects. This

will allow ratepayers with a particular interest in a matter to

be better informed. It will help to avoid the problems of the

past when decisions were effectively made in closed

workshops, and then transacted through the subsequent

meeting.

I am also proposing a full review of the Reserves

Contribution Fund Policy via a committee that I will chair.

When new lots are created, landowners are required to

make financial contributions for the recreational needs of

the new future residents. I want to change the policy to

ensure that the money gets spent in the communities where

it is collected, and that all community groups get a chance

to apply for funding for qualifying projects.

Two further motions that I have put forward involve setting

formal policy and procedures around the appointment of

independent commissioners for decision making. There is a

perception that Council ‘picks favourites’ when it comes to

resource consent hearings. I am proposing a formal policy

and procedure, and a public register to ensure that all listed

commissioners are given equal opportunity to hear

consents. This will improve transparency and remove any

suggestion of bias.

These matters will be considered by the full Council at the

Kaipara District Council meeting on 11 July.

If you have any community projects or issues that you

would like assistance with please let me know. I can be

contacted

DAM CHEEK

From Thelma’s Scrapbook ...

“You've probably heard the expression " as busy as a

beaver". If it's said of you, take it as a compliment, for the

delightful little beavers who frequent the rivers and streams

in Canada and the US are industrious little creatures who

make their homes in carefully self-constructed dams.

However, even these innocent animals can run afoul of

bureaucracy over their building habits as this amazing (and

true) exchange of correspondence shows.

From the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality

to landowner Ryan De Vries: "It has come to the attention

of the department that there has been recent unauthorised

activity on your parcel of property. You have been certified

as the legal landowner and/or contractor who did the

following unauthorised activity: construction and

maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet

stream of Spring Pond.

"A permit must be issued prior to the start of this type of

activity. Our files show no permits have been issued -

being in violation of Part 301 of the Natural Resources and

Environmental Protection Act, Sections 324.30101 to

32430113. We ﬁnd that dams of this nature are inherently

hazardous and cannot be permitted.

"The department therefore orders you to cease and desist

all activities at this location, and to restore the stream by

removing all wood and brush forming the dams. This

restoration must be completed by 31 January. "

To which the very astute and amusing Ryan De Vries

replied: "l am the legal landowner but not the contractor at

2088, Dagget, Pierson, Michigan. A couple of beavers are

in the process of constructing and maintaining two wood

‘debris’ dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond,

"While l did not pay for, authorise, nor supervise their dam

project, l think they would be highly offended that you call

their skilful use of nature's building materials ‘debris’. I

believe there is no way your department could emulate or

hope to match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness,

their dam ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam

determination, and/or their dam work ethic! I do not think

the beavers are aware that they must first fill out a dam

permit prior to the start of this dam activity "My first dam

question is - are you trying to discriminate against my

Spring Pond beavers or do you require all beavers in this

state to conform to said dam request?

"Aren't the beavers entitled to legal representation? The

Spring Pond beavers are financially destitute and unable to

pay for said representation, so the state will have to provide

them with a dam lawyer. If you want the stream ‘restored’

to a dam free-flow condition, please contact the beavers.

But it you are going to arrest them, please be aware that

they did not pay any attention to your dam letter, being

unable to read English.

"ln my humble opinion, the Spring Pond beavers have a

right to build their unauthorised dams as long as the sky is

blue, the grass is green and water flows downstream. They

have more dam rights than I do to live in and enjoy Spring

Pond. ln conclusion, l would like to bring to your attention

a real environmental quality (health) problem in the area -

it's the bears! Bears are actually defecating in our woods. I

believe you should be persecuting the defecating bears and

leaving beavers be!

“Finally, being unable to comply with your dam request,

and being unable to contact you on your dam answering

machine, I am sending this response to your dam office."

And the outcome? I

don't know, dam it,

but watch this space!

By Bob, Chief

Executive of-SPCA
