KAIWAKA 6th JANUARY 2018
Neil and Liam Finn present Where’s My Room? In
Kaiwaka on 6th January - their fourth stop in 18 -Tour
of Aotearoa, Summer 2018
“All our lives, all our lives we’ve been looking for love,
now it’s looking for us.”
As everybody should know by now, Finns were bred for
touring and music, and this summer Liam and Neil will be
happily piling into the van for some back-road wandering.
With a hot band of family and good friends attached, they
will perform in the small halls of Aotearoa throughout
January, exploring the lesser-known treasures of the
motherland.
Neil and Liam, together with Sharon and Elroy Finn,
Connan Mockasin, champion whistler Molly Lewis, John
Carroll Kirby, Jimmy Metherell and songbird Eliza-Jane
Barnes will play their hearts out for the locals and a few
city blow-ins. It’s bound to be a welcome diversion, and a
uniquely intimate look at the way the Finns roll, as they
debut music from their upcoming collaborative album, as
well as throwing in some of their favourite songs from the
family canon.
“Both Dad and I spent our careers with the ambition to
make it outside of NZ… putting a lot of time and energy into
the rest of the world and sometimes overlooking what’s
right in front of us, and why we pursue this vocation. This
tour is about making memories - getting to do what we love,
on an intimate level with good friends and family for the
pure joy of it, and building a unique experience - hopefully
for not just us but whoever wants to come along.” - Liam
Finn.
In lieu of the regular NZ tour circuit, the Finns vision has
been brought to life by DIY champion, A Low Hum.

EUTOPIA UPDATE
We have been working on this
project now for over 3
1
⁄
2
years,
deadlines have come and gone and
we find ourselves still toiling
away. We are starting to see a
flicker of light at the end of the
proverbial tunnel though.
There is not much of the original
Eutopia structure left. There is no space that has not been
transformed and no structure that has not been reworked,
reformed, or replaced.
The new work is extensive and there are surprises
everywhere. We are basing most of the imagery on NZ flora
and fauna as well and incorporating a mythological
element. Once finished (or finished enough to open) it will
take a few trips to see everything and we hope it will
become a worthy attraction for Kaiwaka.
We are presently finishing a toilet block of 3 new toilets,
putting a new commercial kitchen together. incorporated
solar water heating (with the help of Eric Jansseune) and are
planning to use an array of panels to provide solar energy
during the day. We have test run some of the lighting and it
should look very effective.
We are making the final tables (yes, we make most of the
tables and many of the chairs). Putting the final touches on
some more sculptures to join the 5 roof sculptures, and are
adding more of our funky handmade Art Nouveau style
joinery - getting towards the end of the mosaic marathon.
We still have the front wall to complete and some carvings
to finish. There is a huge painting job coming up and the
front area still needs to be
concreted and paved.
We are planning to set up
for some small music
events, our son Kane will
be coming home from
Hamburg soon and will
help with this.
The project is still all go
but
as
completion
estimates have come and
gone, we won’t give
another but we hope to be
ready within the next year
fingers crossed. We are
really looking forward to
getting
out
of
our
construction attire for a
spell.

Ben Cash (Viggo Mortensen), his wife
Leslie and their six children live deep in
the wilderness of Washington state.
Isolated from society, Ben and Leslie
devote their existence to raising their kids -
educating them to think critically, training
them to be physically fit and athletic,
guiding them in the wild without
technology and demonstrating the beauty
of co-existing with nature. When Leslie
dies suddenly, Ben must take his sheltered
offspring into the outside world for the first
time. A Beautiful Movie about, family,
love and parenting...

attended by reps from 9 other
Women’s Section Clubs, from
South Auckland to the Far North
- approximately 60 visitors in all.
Our members contributed to a well-
stocked trading table which was very
popular with the visitors especially the
home baking which disappeared in the

half
hour.
The delicious Birthday cake made by
Trish Black and iced by Lena Carleton
was cut by Fay Wintle (Our Patroness)

The raffle popular as ever
attractively prepared by Heather

We were privileged to have Bill Jaques
to play his portable piano for us and a

KAIWAKA
WEATHER
Welcome to our last month of spring
2017.
The weather is warming up nicely and
great to see some sunshine. It is hard to
believe we are nearly at the end of
another calendar year,
We knew there was a lot of Labour
Weekend traffic this year, but when
they go home on Monday it is patience,
patience, patience. The traffic crawled
through Kaiwaka for 5
1
⁄
2
hours. Only
twice did they completely stop - from
the Caltex Service Station in the south
to the Concrete Works in the north.
We had real spring-like weather last
month. Sunny, fine, cloudy, rain, cold,
windy, hot, humid - a beautiful Spring.
For October we recorded at our house:
October 2017 - 86mm
October 2016 - 100mm
First 10 months 2017 - 1598mm
First 10 months 2016 - 1311mm
Days of October 2017 rain was 11, and
October 2016 there were 13.
Driest October since 1987 was in 2000
with 17mm and the wettest October
since 1987 was in 2006 with 176mm.
Our driest first 10 months since 1987
was in 1987 with 792mm and the
wettest first 10 months since 1987 is
this year, 2017, with 1598.
‘The old farmer had a rope hanging
from a dead tree at his back door.
“What is this for?” asked a visitor. “It
is my weather guide. If it is swinging
back and forth, it is windy, and if it is
wet it has been raining.”
Take care out there and look after each
other, Bev
.

KAIWAKA GETS OWN CAR
Linking Hands, the local Health Shuttle
Service, recently added another vehicle
to its fleet, which is to be based in
Kaiwaka. The car is already in town
and Steve Barr, pictured with the car,
is in charge of it.
This car will enable Linking Hands to
both improve its service to Kaiwaka
and the rural areas around it and be a
backup for Mangawhai. It will spare
the shuttle service sending cars from
Maungaturoto or Mangawhai and will
save driver’s time, fuel costs, and
enable them to stretch their dollar to
serve more clients in the long run.
For those new to the area, Linking
Hands provide transport to Health-
related appointments, whether it is to
the local Dr, a
specialist
appointment, dental,
optician,
hospital
appointments
etc.
We
cover
appointments
in
Warkworth through
to Whangarei.
We are an ACC
vendor, so if you
need us to transport
you, please have
your Case Manager
contact Head Office
with
pre-approval
for your travel.
Clients living in Kaiwaka
still need to call either the
head office in Maungaturoto
(09)4318969 or Mangawhai (09)
4315906 to book a ride. It is a free
service, run on small grants and
donations are gratefully received.
A number of drivers will be needed for
the Kaiwaka car. Call (09)4318969 if
you want to become part of this
dynamic team helping those who need
it. See their website for more details.
Linking Hands has a wheelchair van
and two cars in Maungaturoto, a car in
Mangawhai, one in Waipu and another
in One Tree Point.

NEW MOUSETRAP!
This little tale comes from a
friend living in Istanbul, Turkey.
“Some time ago on her arrival in a new
flat, she put a half sleeping tablet on
her bedside table, in case of insomnia
during the night.
She woke at three in the morning and
switched on the light. Fast asleep on
the bedside table was a little mouse –
and half of the sleeping tablet was
gone!”

Help Clinics
The Committee has two Help Clinics,
before the summer break. We hope you
can join us for one or all of them.
Remember you don't need to book, you
don't need to bring a question, you will
probably learn something from other
people's questions. You can socialise
with the Committee and other members
over a cup of tea or coffee. We will try
to solve all questions at the Clinic. If
your question/problem is very time
consuming we will ask you to book in
for a One-on-One session with one of
our tutors for some personalised help.
Please note that the 15 November Help
Clinic is from 2 - 4pm and the second
one 6 December, 10.30 - 12.30pm
Cost $10 members $15 non-members
Workshops
We are starting to plan for 2018 and
hope to run Workshops on various
topics. Things like Skype (internet

to hold a formal meeting every year

present accounts and report on the
year's activity to members.
Further details of when and where will
follow, we plan to hold the 2018
Annual General Meeting in February -
it sounds like the distant future, but
will be here all too soon! We do need a
quorum at the meeting to meet the legal
requirements, so ask that you come
along to support us if you can.
Our Regular Sessions!

hours a week covering a variety of
topics. Cost $30 - members only
Workshops - we cover a topic for a
group - usually a two-hour session.
Cost $10 members $15 non-members

questions will probably be interesting!

assistance with a particular technical
problem. This might be set up of a new
laptop or phone, Facebook account,

KAIWAKA SCHOOL
We are really pleased to announce that
Mrs Brown has now been appointed
permanently to the staff of Kaiwaka
School, and Mr Massey will be
returning to teach at our school next
year.
The roll is currently at 142, and we
expect it to continue growing. We will
be getting a new classroom for next
year.
If you know of any prospective
students who have not yet enrolled,
especially New Entrants, can you
please let us know immediately. We
need to plan for them.
At the end of October Stephen
Brassett, pictured below with his dogs
and trailer, talked with our students
about Animal Welfare. He is walking
the length of NZ to raise awareness and
funds for this cause.
Our After-School Care Programme is
going really well. The children enjoy a
lovely afternoon tea, lots of fun
activities and playing outside. There is
room for more students to attend, as we
have the capacity for 20 students each
day.
Mondays and
Fridays have
fewer
bookings
than
the
other days.
We welcome
your support for this school service. If
it continues to go well and be
supported, we will provide a holiday
programme as well.
There is a great new initiative being
trialled in our area, from the Ministry
of Education. If you believe your child
has
speech
or
communication
difficulties, you can refer them directly
for appraisal and support. phone 0800
52484256.oryou can just drop in. The
clinics are rotated between Kaiwaka,
Mangawhai and Maungaturoto weekly.

Sara McAulay,
Returning Officer, Kaiwaka School
Kaiwaka School
are excited to
have received a
grant from the
Kaipara Creative Communities Award
toward an Art Project for the school.
They hope to create some outdoor art
that will showcase the children's talent,
bring alive the history of the village
and brighten up the new fence area.
We would like to create a lasting
artwork which celebrates the history of
Kaiwaka and the sharehand values of
the school (Safe, Helpful, Aroha,
Respect, Encouragement).
We envisage strong student input to
instil a keen sense of ownership and
pride in the project.
We would like to connect with those in
the community who are keen
historians; those who have interesting
stories to tell of how things were in the
old Kaiwaka days.
They are now looking for local artists
and historians who would be interested
in
working
with
the
school
community.

Book review
The Last Policeman, and Countdown
City, by Ben H Winters. Henry Palace
is a detective in the Concord, New
Hampshire, Police Department. He's
not been in the job for long, but already
he's one of the few left on
the team - life hasn't been
the same since it was
announced that there is an
asteroid heading for Earth,
and it is going to collide in a
few months' time. So when
Henry is called to a suicide
late one night, it seems
pretty run-of-the-mill for
the current times, where
many have chosen to end
their lives before that fateful
day arrives. Something isn't
quite right, though, and
Henry has to argue to be
allowed to investigate the
case. Slate have described
the first book as "sharp,
funny, and deeply wise",
and I'm inclined to agree
with them - the books were
a good read. They are on the
Rental Fiction shelves until
July 2018, and are also
available as e-books on Overdrive.
Read them in order for maximum
enjoyment Fiction shelves until July
next year.

From a Bugle Reader: NEW TRACK IN TOWN
Hi, I am a new track in town, I would like to meet you. You
can find me on the Kauri Walk that goes in from the Domain
road, I am about halfway through and you will see me on the
left. I am signposted and if you follow the white markers
through I will take you to my friend the Scout Track, where
you can go to Gibbons Road or back to the to the Domain.
I am a little rough at the moment but with the help of your
feet and some of my friends I could become like SH 1, even
that has potholes! On the way through you will see some
lovely kauris and totaras, and I have a bench for you to rest
and enjoy the solitude. I look forward to enjoying your
company.
All your outdoor needs sorted so you don’t have to...
I can prune, chop, tidy, spray, mow, plant
- you name it, I can do it!

OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL
Principal’s Comment:
The year 9 and 10 exams went very
smoothly, and we are now into the first
of the NCEA exams. It is great that a
number of senior students have been
taking advantage of the additional
study classes on offer. More of our
senior students have also now earned
study leave by completing the
necessary tasks to get them closer to
achieving the relevant qualification.
All junior students have been given
information and permission slips about
the upcoming end of year activities and
camps. Please ensure that the
permission slips are returned as soon
as possible and that payments are
made. If there is any difficulty with
payment, please contact the school as
we may be able to assist.
The Student Support Secretary role
which was due to close today has been
adapted and extended due to a change
in circumstances. Please see the advert
if you are interested in this role.

SENIOR PRIZEGIVING
Otamatea High School celebrated the
success of its senior students on 3
November with a packed-out school
hall for their 2017 Prizegiving
Ceremony.
The success of so many students is a
testament to their ongoing commitment
and hard work. This, in turn, is a sure
sign of the strong school community
backed up by an excellent teaching
team and encapsulated by the
school's whakatauki:'He waka eke noa:
We are all in this waka - without
exception.'
Honoured guest, Sir Lockwood Smith,
gave a compelling speech about
his road to success, inspiring
the students to work hard and 'Give it a
go.' Wise words that we may all take
inspiration
from!
