It was good to see a big turnout for the
public meeting with NZTA last week
as they revealed plans and ideas for the
new highway, Te Hana to Whangarei.
It will affect many people, especially
farmers and some of their decisions are
being made shortly even though it will
be quite a few years before any work
starts on it.
Two NZTA staff met with a small
group of Kaiwaka Can members last
Monday to talk about the social impact
of the highway. It was a good meeting
and allowed us to tell them of some
important bottom lines for us as a
community. Here are the three bottom
lines we shared with them.
1) We need Kaiwaka to stay viable as
a community and also free to
develop.
At the present time, any development
along State Highway One is totally
controlled by NZTA who do not want
to see any more vehicles access the
highway from private property. It is our
main street but also State Highway One
and at the present time, these two
realities are in conflict with each other.
If Kaiwaka stayed as SH 1 under the
proposed scheme, we would have 2
million tonnes of truck freight through
our town each year, travelling at least
60kph and probably with a barrier
between lanes. That would be almost
impossible to live with and it would
also crush any development. So, we
made sure they heard us on this.
2) We need Kaiwaka to stay safe.
We have worked for two years to try
and make the highway safe, with one
or two gains but also some real
compromises. Shortly the whole stretch
of Kaiwaka highway will be 60kph
(plus the excess that most vehicles
travel). It is hard to live with now but
we have no intention of sacrificing any
more safety just to allow trucks to get
to their destination a couple of minutes
earlier.
3) We believe Kaiwaka must remain
as the gateway to Northland.
Northland struggles for identity and
resources now. We want Kaiwaka to be
a highly visible, very attractive
gateway to the North. It already offers
many services to those passing through
and if it is bypassed altogether, then
there is no other community between
Auckland and Whangarei. (Wellsford
and Warkworth are being bypassed and
are also part of Auckland). We want to
see this town develop its full potential
and be somewhere people choose to
visit as they come north. We
already have some great
facilities (rest area, excellent
toilets, interesting cafes and
bakery, high class truck stop
facilities at the pub) and there
are more coming. So, let’s
become
a
truly
worthy
gateway to the North without
sacrificing safety and our
future development.
We made a number of suggestions to
the team as to how we could achieve
all of these bottom lines but these will
become more public as the negotiating
process continues.

August 4 was a big night at The Kauri
Museum. Guests and finalists in the
inaugural
Northland
Photography
Awards were present at a prizegiving
function to honour the winners of the
three categories of the competition.
Those present were enthralled by
judge, Stephen Davies, and his
discussion on the criteria he and fellow
judge, Vicky Wilson, applied to
choosing finalists and then winners.
The competition has been such a
success and feedback so positive, that it
will now become an annual event. CEO
at The Kauri Museum, Lisa Tolich
explains “the team are encouraged by
the response of our local Northland
Photographers in our first year and
look forward to building on this for our
next event. We would particularly like
to encourage our young aspiring
photographers to take inspiration from
our 2017 entrants and give it a go”.
Activity around the Photography
Awards has not yet concluded. The
finalist’s works will be on display and
for sale at The Kauri Museum until 8th
October. During this time, anyone
interested can vote for the Tudor
Collins People’s Choice Award (across
all the entries received) either online at
http://www.kau.nz/tour/awards/ or in

Congratulations to all of our 2017
finalists and entrants and a special
thank you to our supporters, Creative

Fortunately, our winter is not being too
harsh this year, with a few frosts being
reported and a bit of flooding in some
parts, but on the whole, we have been
so much better off than those further
south. We wish them well and hope it
hasn’t been too overwhelming and
damaging to people’s lives.
The Community House has had busy
days and quiet days, all while we
continue upgrading some of the
services in and around the property so
that we can continue to get work done
efficiently.
The seniors’ lunch is settling in with
the new catering crew with plenty of
good feedback. We wish them well in
their venture. It is good to see that the
colder weather hasn’t stopped people
coming along to the lunch; and we
know they are loving the opportunity
to meet up with friends and
neighbours.
There was a glitch in communication
when the July Chocolate Bingo day
had to be cancelled – and while we
thought we had contacted all - it turned
out there were still some who hadn’t
got the message. So sorry to those who
arrived on the day to find we weren’t
there. We feel bad about this so hope to
make up for it at the September
Chocolate Bingo.
Our Manager is continuing her work in
the Children’s Team and she reports
that they have a strong and positive
feel about their work which has already
proved to be a valuable addition to the
existing work done in seeing to the
health and wellbeing of our children.
We are excited to announce that we
now have a 12-seater van which will be
for the use of the community. We will
have a weekly service which will cater
for people needing appointments in
Dargaville and then trips for shopping
etc can be arranged. If we can help in
this way come and see us or phone 431
9080.

NINETY YEARS
AGO
Planting in the Topuni Pine Forest
commenced in 1927 on land that had
once carried kauri forests.
When the 1,500 acres was purchased
from Mrs. Ross; it had reverted - apart
from a small area being farmed - to
scrub and waste lands. Originally this
land was intended for growing fruit.
Initial growth in the forests was by far
the best of any forest of pinus radiata
planted in New Zealand. The superior
quality of north grown pinus radiata
had been established by the Company
during extremely difficult marketing
years and by 1954 annual sawmill
capacity had reached 5,000,000 board
feet. By 1959 the Topuni Mill Camp
provided accommodation for over 20
families, as well as several single men.

Mumps Update
Mumps has arrived in Northland. We
had our first locally-acquired cases this
week. More are likely. As you will
probably be aware, Auckland is
currently
experiencing
several
notifications of mumps per day.
Mumps is also present in some Pacific
Islands, especially Fiji and Tonga.
Most cases in Auckland are in the 10-
30 year age-group; the situation is
likely to be similar here.
Mumps typically presents with fever
and parotid swelling. Two doses of
MMR are 85% effective, so cases can
still occur in fully immunised people.
Those with mumps are most infectious
from 2 days before the onset of
swelling until 5 days after.
MMR is free to anyone who needs it. If
you or your child has not had two doses
of mumps containing vaccine (MMR),
or you are not sure, please contact your
doctor for further information and
catch up dose(s) if necessary.
The vaccine is not given in pregnancy
or in women who may become
pregnant in the next four weeks.

Book swap
The Large Print and Audio book swap
is coming up in October, which is not
far away now. This is the swap where
we need all the books back beforehand,
so they will be packed up a couple of
weeks before the swap. Now is an
excellent time to come in and find a
good book amongst these shelves,
before those titles are gone.
You don't need to have any sort of
visual impairment to borrow these
books - they're free to borrow for all
library members. Large Print books,
apart from being a range of titles we
may not have on our other shelves, are
very easy on the eye, especially in low
light. Audio books are excellent for
long drives, or when you're out in the
garden, or any time when your hands
are busy but your mind is free to listen.
Spark Jump - wi-fi at home
This is a new initiative from the 20/20
Trust, offering free pay-as-you-go wi-fi
modems to families with school-aged
children, that we are helping to
promote to the community. There is no
contract,
or
any
credit
check
requirement, and it costs $15 for 30GB
of data through Skinny Mobile, which
you can top up as needed. To sign up to
this, contact Te Roroa Learning
Assistance on 0800 555 635.
Free wi-fi at the library
Have you tapped into our free wi-fi
service at the library yet? Anyone can
use it, you don't need to be a library
member. To connect to it, look for the
signal called KaiwakaLibrary. There's
no password. The signal reaches
beyond the walls of the library, so you
can sit in the comfort of your car
outside and use it there if you wish. We
have found that a few devices don't
want to connect to it without a little
help - if that happens to you, come in
to the library if we're open, and let us
know; usually rebooting the modem is
all it takes to get these devices
connected.
Finding grants & scholarships
Did you know that library members
have free access to the Generosity
NZ web site? This can help you find
where to apply for funding - for
community group grants (givUS) and
for scholarships, grants and awards for
individuals (givME). Go to the Kaipara
District
Council
web
site
(kaipara.govt.nz) and follow the links
on the libraries page. You'll need your
library card number to get in.
Book review
Recently, I've read 2312 by Kim
Stanley Robinson. "The year is 2312.
Scientific advances have opened
gateways to an extraordinary future.
But in 2312, a sequence of events will
force humanity to confront past,
present and future. For Swan Er Hong,
her life will never be the same again.
Once a designer of worlds, now Swan
will be led into a plot to destroy
them." (goodreads.com) I've read a few
books by this
author, not all
science-fiction,
and have not
been
disappointed
yet. This book is
on
the
Dargaville
shelves in the
library
until
early December.
See you in the
library! ~Wendy

St John Kaiwaka needs volunteers
Looking for a way to help your
community? The busy team at St John
Kaiwaka needs frontline ambulance
volunteers to assist with responding to
sick and injured people in your local
area.
You can help to make a positive, life-
changing, even life-saving difference
for others in need.
Ongoing training
will be provided
and the chance to
have a career in the
ambulance service
is very real. While
you
will
be
required to do a
regular shift, you
choose when.
If you have a full
NZ driver licence,
are 18 years or
over,
a
NZ
resident,
literate
and
reasonably fit – this could be
the perfect opportunity for you.

What is ‘Respite Care?’
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 on respite care,
contact the resthome manager on (09)
4318 696.

From Thelma’s Scrapbook …
CATS’ RULES OKAY?
Just as we mere humans have rules and
regulations that are thrust upon us, so too do
cats. I have no idea where these cat rules come
from (I suspect they are inherent), but they seem to apply to
all cats in their relationships with us. Try these for size!
HIDING: It makes sense every now and then to go into
hiding a place where humans cannot possibly find you. This
sends them into a state of sheer panic (an emotion they
seem to enjoy) as they fear the worst for you: you have run
away, got lost or (even worse) fallen prey to a vicious dog
or under the wheels of a car. Hide for at least four hours.
When you emerge, they will smother you with kindness and
this will probably involve an additional special treat!
THROWING UP: If you feel the urge to throw up, select a
chair, the bed or, if you can, the prized Oriental rug. Sound
effects are good - let them come from the very depths of
your being as this will promote the sympathy you deserve.
BATHROOMS: You should always intrude into the
sanctity of humans’ bathrooms, especially if there are
guests in the house. No matter what they are doing in there,
it is your task to do nothing except sit and stare. It seems to
freak them out!
LITTER BOXES: These can be fun. The trick is to kick as
much litter out of the box as you possibly can. The spread
of cat litter all over the floor provokes an interesting human
response that includes a flurried rush of energy with brush
and pan.
DOORS: These can be exciting little diversions. Agitate to
have a door opened for you by a human - they will always
oblige! Once the door is open it is not necessary to use it.
Alternatively, stand half in and halt out and think of other
things. This behaviour is especially important in midwinter
when the weather is at its coldest (particularly if it is
raining or snowing or if there is a howling gale outside).
HELPING: This is where you come into your element
Always choose the busiest human to help -they need you
most!
•
The chef. Always sit just behind the left heel of the cook.
You now stand a very good chance of being stood on, and
then pampered when they feel guilt.
•
The reader. Get in real close under the human’s chin,
between their eyes and the book. Better still, lie completely
over it.
•
The writer. Lie on the paper and pretend to doze. From
time to time bat the pencil or pen and wait for the reaction!
•
When busy people are paying bills, working on income tax
returns or writing Christmas cards, make a mess by leaping
on the paperwork, rolling over it and scattering it as far as
you can. Be frantic - it creates more havoc!
•
Reading the newspaper. This is fun! When a human is
deeply absorbed in the news, with the paper held in front,
take a flying leap at the back of the newspaper - this will
really surprise them. And humans love surprises!
•
Computer operators. If a human is working on their
computer; jump on the desk, walk across the keyboard, bat
at the mouse, and settle on the human’s lap (preferably
across the arms as this makes use of the keyboard
impossible).
AT BEDTIME: Ignore your comfortable cat basket and
