THANK YOU for the

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!

To all those who visited our Lights at Christmas and made a

donation to the Fire Brigade. Thank you very much - you

helped raise $3677.00 for them. Mark is pictured below

handing the cheque to Kaiwaka Fire Chief John Bowmar.

Many thanks to Greg and Paula Jaques, from Jaques Four

Square for donating the lollipops for the children. It was

great meeting people from far and wide, and amazing how

many tourists were visiting from Europe. It truly made

Christmas. Big thanks to Santa and The Fire Brigade boys

Look forward to next Christmas ~ Pam and Mark Ottaway.

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Happy New Year to each and every

one of you. It certainly started off very

summery

and

now

deteriorating. That is this year and I

am reporting for 2017. Where ever did

the year go as it is said every year. Just

shows you how busy you are and not

too bored.

I do hope you have had a nice

Christmas with family and friends

where possible. Our weather for 2017

was rather wet in patches although not

as bad as 1990. December was a very

hot month with partly cloudy days and

cold south-east wind at times. It got to

almost drought conditions and now we

have had some rain to relieve that

situation. Now the lawns will race

away with the rain we have had. Very

patchy though.

Well here we go.

December 2017 we had 71mm and

December 2016 we 37mm. December

2017, we had rain on 10 days of the

month and December 2016, 7 days of

rain. I am only talking one or 2mm on

some of those days. Never mind it all

counts.

Our 12 months of the year for 2017

we had 1729mm and 2016 we had

1475mm.

Our driest December since 1987 was

1994 with 4mm rain and the wettest

was 2014 with 211mm.

Our driest 12 months since 1987 was

1994 with 892mm and the wettest

was 1990 with 1947mm. I hope

wherever you are holidaying at the

moment the weather is kind to you.

Super Moon

We have just had

another Super Moon

although it was a bit

hard to find with all the

cloud. There will be

another one on the 31

January with a

better vision we hope - M

ARK THE

DATE. The blood moon or blue super

moon is coming in a rare lunar event

which happens only every 150

years. Three separate celestial events-

a super moon, a blue moon and a full

lunar eclipse will occur simultaneously

on January 31

. The particular blue

moon will likely look red in some areas

because of the total lunar eclipse which

can give the moon a red tinge naming

it the blood moon.

Talking of the clouds I wonder if they

look down on and say to each other

“Hey look, that one is shaped like an

idiot” or maybe, “that one looks like it

has arms and legs”? I myself find

clouds very interesting to watch.

Well, take care out there, especially if

you are on the roads in all this mad

traffic. It is only 11 months to

Christmas, so no excuses for not being

ready. ~ Best wishes. Bev.

How does the man in the moon cut his

hair? ECLIPSE IT!

MAP

MOBILITY ACTION

PROGRAMME IN

KAIWAKA AND

MANGAWHAI

Have you heard about the Mobility

Action Programme or MAP?

If you are over 18 years, have

musculoskeletal pain e.g. arthritis and

are NOT on ACC, then MAP could be

for you! If you meet this criteria you

can be assessed by an experienced

physio or occupational therapist. You

can then have access to hydrotherapy/

self-management groups/dietician and

more. This service is at NO COST. It

is funded by the Ministry of Health

via a local collaboration of Restart

Rehab & Associates Ltd, Active

Living Physio, Coast to Coast Health

Care and Te Ha Oranga.

We are aiming to start groups in

Kaiwaka and Mangawhai in February.

If there is demand, we will look at

Wellsford and Maungaturoto as well.

We have already run successful groups

in Mangawhai and Wellsford. Here's

what some of the participants had to

say:

•

This course is very well rounded for

all, no matter your age or disability".

•

"This group has helped me get my

back pain under control and able to

maintain it" I'm looking forward to

getting back to netball training".

•

"Well worth it, I have enjoyed it all.

Would recommend it to everyone".

•

Paul Harris Fellows

The

first

six

months

President

Alex’s

(pictured left) term

concluded on a

high

note

December

when

we had our District

Governor, David

Oliphant present and three new Paul

Harris Fellows (PHF) were created. To

do this our club gives $US1,000 per

person

the

Rotary

Global

Foundation. This Foundation supports

a large number of worldwide projects,

such as the eradication of polio. Two of

the recipients were not Rotarians, Pam

Chapman (who catered for Rotary for

a long period, provided a hamper to be

raffled on an annual basis and who is

hugely supportive of many in the

community.) Stephen Rosser (for his

ongoing work in third world countries,

but especially in Vanuatu with

provision of safe water supplies – 31

trips to date.); and our President, Alex

Tetzner who has had 33 years involved

in Rotary, holding most positions over

that period.

Added to that was the induction of new

members - Grahame and Hilary

Carbery and Rodney and Linda Tysoe

were welcomed into the club; this

brings to five new members in the past

six months.

We continue to enjoy the catering skills

of the local High School Hockey,

Netball and DOE students and parents.

We are grateful that they have agreed

to continue with this effort into this

year.

Christmas Hamper raffle winner

Blue A79 – thank you all for your

support of this fundraiser. Gifts and

non-perishable items that were donated

at our Christmas dinner filled a number

of boxes and these were given to Ray

White to be distributed in the

community.

Calf Litter

We have been selling calf litter as a

fundraiser (this is available in bags at

Maungaturoto Four Square) or may be

purchased in bulk – just contact any

Rotarian.

Horse Trek

A Horse Trek is being

organized for 10 February

(notices around town and on page 13 of

this Bugle).

Driver Mentors

On 20 February, the Driver Mentors

will have their first training. This will

enable us to take young people out in

the Rotary car in an effort to improve

their driving skills. We are doing this in

conjunction with Drivesafe Northland

and Te Roroa.

Rotary Dinner Speakers

We continue to have interesting

speakers who provide an insight into

many areas. Recent ones included a

self-employed tradesman who stressed

the importance of trade training and

apprenticeships in order to provide a

flexible

lifestyle

while

another

promoted the work he has undertaken

to provide educational material for the

less fortunate in Tonga. A third speaker

is a recent arrival in the community and

spoke about the business he has

purchased, the products made and plans

for expansion.

We are currently seeking more

members so If you are interested in

learning more about

Rotary you can access the website

<rotarymgto.club>

JOYCE BROOKS

During the Christmas parade, some of

you may have noticed Joyce Brooks in

an old-time bus. We wanted to honour

the contribution that Brooks family had

made to this community.

After more than 90 years of family

involvement, in 2016, Brooks Motors

sold their transport arm. This business

was established by Joyce’s father-in-

law, Bert Brooks with Dudley, Joyce’s

late husband following in his father’s

footsteps. Not only did they run the

school buses (as well as tourist buses),

but also were responsible for mail

delivery (they still do the town mail).

However, many in the community will

remember them for their generosity

towards many people in their time of

need (or support of local emergency

services.)

We would like to thank the Brooks

family for their huge contribution to the

community.

The

John

Kaiwaka

and

Maungaturoto teams are dedicated

groups of volunteers with one thing in

common – the desire to make a

positive difference in our community.

It is our volunteers, many of whom

have other jobs, who keep our

ambulance service going.

There are currently six active St John

volunteers

based

Kaiwaka

Ambulance Station, and 15 in

Maungaturoto, and both stations are

run by Station Manager Stephen

Rosser.

St John is here 24 hours a day, seven

days a week, and 365 days a year –

saving lives and responding to medical

emergencies and accidents around the

clock.

present,

the

Maungaturoto

ambulance covers seven day-shifts plus

four night-shifts, and the Kaiwaka

ambulance covers the other three

nights; and the community can rest

assured we are always ready to step

forward when help is needed.

However, it is our ultimate goal to

have

both

the

Kaiwaka

and

Maungaturoto ambulances on duty

24/7, so our area is covered by at least

two ambulances at all times – further

increasing our capacity to care for the

community.

To achieve that goal, each station

requires 25 volunteers, which can only

happen if others in the community –

you – step forward with us. The more

volunteers we have, the better

equipped we are to help others and

provide cover if a volunteer is unwell

or unable to do their shift.

Here at St John everyone pulls together

from nearby stations, but if all their

ambulances

are

jobs,

the

surrounding area’s resources are

stretched. It is always our objective to

reach people in the shortest possible

time, as we know that when you call

111, every minute can count. We have

systems in place so that people in the

greatest medical need are given the

highest priority; but we want to ensure

that every time you call us, we have the

immediate means to help.

With bigger volunteer teams in

Kaiwaka and Maungaturoto, our

ambulances at both stations will always

be ready to go, and we’ll have another

crew available for a second emergency

in our area.

What can YOU do?

You can join our mission to step

forward whenever help is needed, for

better, for life. Being an ambulance

volunteer is the ultimate way to show

your commitment to the wellbeing of

your community. We will work

together to make the experience

rewarding and practical for you, and

should you wish, there are life-long

career opportunities available.

To get involved, please contact Station

Manager Stephen Rosser on 021 355

734 or go to www.stjohn.org.nz, click

the ‘ABOUT’ tab, then ‘JOIN ST

JOHN’.

Kaiwaka St John recently had it's 40th Anniversary which was celebrated with a

cake at the Otamatea St John Christmas dinner. The Kaiwaka Ambulance

Brigade formed on November 25, 1977. Pictured are all the volunteers including

Ambulance, Fire volunteers who help out with ambulance callouts, Op Shop

KAIWAKA SPORTS SOCIATION

Fitness Trail

We can now announce

our exciting project for

2018! We are building a

Fitness Trail at the

Sports Complex. This

will be a concrete path

which will start at the

helipad then wind around

our rugby field. It will be

suitable for walking,

running and biking and

will be free for members

of the public to use. The

path will be wide enough

accommodate

strollers

and

wheelchairs, and will be extra wide

alongside the back tennis court to

create access onto the fields for

emergency vehicles. This project has

been made possible with a generous

grant from Transpower Community

Care Fund, many thanks to them. As

more funding comes to hand, we will

add exercise stations at intervals along

the path so you can stop off for a

workout.

For the next few weeks there will be

concrete trucks and machinery on the

field, so please keep clear of this area.

Once the Fitness Trail is completed, I

will organise a little Opening

Ceremony, so watch this space!

Otamatea

Tennis

Tournament

Our annual tennis tournament will be

held at our courts this weekend. Did

you know the tournament is in its 68th

year! This tournament attracts top

quality players from all over Northland

and Auckland so feel free to come

along to watch some top tennis. There

will be food and drink available

throughout the day and a social on

Saturday evening.

Badminton

Badminton has started up again for the

new year. Players of all ages and

abilities are welcome so if you are

keen, simply turn up to our gymnasium

on Tuesdays from 7.30pm. Only $3 per

rackets are available for you to borrow

at no cost.

For badminton queries, please ring

Kaye Fleming on 4312 345.

Martial Arts

Are you or your child keen to join our

Martial Arts classes this year? Black

belt instructor Craig Bennetts offers a

variety of classes out of our

gymnasium for all ages. For more

Our eight-week Touch Module runs on

Wednesdays at 6.30pm. Eight teams

have entered, feel free to come along to

watch the action.

Rugby

It may still be the middle of summer,

but trainings have already started

for the 2018 season. Trainings for our

Otamatea Hawks are on Thursdays at

6pm at our grounds – past and new

Busters

If you’re looking for something to do

with the kids, you are welcome to bring

them along to the Sports Complex:

hoops on our outside backboard

(the entrance is off the bottom of our

driveway and it exits by our number 2

field)

dog and take advantage of the wide

spaces on our rugby fields

* have a swim in the pool (as long as

you have got a key of course)

NORTHERN REGIONAL IRB CHAMPS

Our local young surf lifesaving champs raced in the Northern Regional IRB

Champs on Saturday 13

January at Ruakaka.

The two teams: Waipu Cove Dinco: Jake McClure (Driver), Callum Mckay

(Crew), Jacob Buckle (Main Patient); Waipu Vikings: Bailey Hudson (Driver),

Quintin Brown (Crew), Emma Baker (Main Patient).

Both Teams were entered in 5 races - Tube Rescue, Mass Rescue, Assemble

Rescue, Single Rescue and Team Rescue.

The Waipu Cove Dincos competed for the second time at this event. Their

experience helped them make it into all the finals. This was the first competition

for the Waipu Vikings, who successfully made it to 3 finals.

The Teams came together in the Team Race and gained 3rd place - winning a

bronze medal. Both teams did Waipu Cove proud and we congratulate them

both.

Both Dincos and Vikings teams will race in the North Island IRB Champs to be

held at Waipu on the 10th February.

We are on our Way - the start of the

“Plan For the future”. Just before

Christmas the two rental units were

demolished and thanks to Ably and his

Den team some of the value was

retained. The Vicarage house was

loaded onto a Poyner trailer and

transported to its new location at

Marohemo.

Over the beginning of the new year’s

working week Brogan Builders, under

direction of Grant Eager and his

foreman Ben Huband, with help from

sub

contractors

Sean

Huband

Contractors have prepared the site to

commence the construction of Stage 1

and 2 of the Plan.

This will provide eventually a 14 bed

dementia unit with upgraded kitchen

for the existing Resthome, which will

future proof the business for ongoing

future need for expansion of services as

funding and the need for expansion

dictates.

We are indebted

to the ANZ Bank

for their support

in underwriting the initial stages of this

project, however there is now a real

requirement for the community to step

up complement and support the huge

financial cost of providing the ever

increasing needs of our ageing

residents.

There are many families in this District

that have enjoyed and understand the

benefits and value of the care that has

been provided to their loved ones on

the ir home patch Aged care will affect

all of us near to the end We encourage

you to “Dig Deep “

Celebrate the arrival of summer at Totara House

Totara House, a grand old kauri villa

located in Matakohe, is celebrating 122

years this year. The house is full of

quirks that tell the stories of George

and Emily Smith’s family who lived

between its kauri walls. From the row

of rusty nails in the laundry which held

the family-sized side of bacon, to the

mantelpiece with numerous scratchings

of signatures and comments, Totara

House has a story for everyone. In

recognition of this, The Kauri Museum

has committed to regular open seasons

where the house will throw open its

doors and invite visitors and locals

alike to celebrate family holiday

traditions.

This summer we are paying tribute to

the many hours that were spent in the

gardens.

In the glory years, the garden at Totara

House was a mass of flowering plants,

always keeping the vases filled. Water

lilies covered the lake at the end of the

path winding through the totara trees.

As the family aged, the gardens were

restricted to fewer plants, but Totara

House still boasts a collection of over

20 varieties of pelargoniums and more

than 12 varieties of fuchsia. In later

years, dahlias became the most

favoured plant. Each year, the Smith

brothers dug up a large patch for their

sisters to plant up with tubers. A

friendly rivalry with their cousin Ned

over who would win most points in the

dahlia classes (and ultimately the

Totara House Cup), was a regular

feature at the Paparoa A & P Show.

The Kauri Museum CEO, Lisa Tolich

says “the tradition has been kept alive

with the green fingers amongst our

Museum staff carefully cultivating this

year’s entries in preparation for the big

day”.

The house and its gardens will once

again be open to the public for four

weeks from 5 February 2018. Hours

are 10.00am – 2.00pm daily, including

weekends. For a special treat, morning

tea will be offered on Sundays 18

February and 4 March from 10.30 –

11.30am. There will be tables set up in

the garden for extra enjoyment of the

magnificent surroundings. Come, join

us and help keep the spirit of Totara

House alive, with all proceeds to the

Totara House Preservation Fund.

Tickets: $10.00 adults, $5.00 children,

can be purchased from The Kauri

Museum with special rates for group

bookings. Bookings, $15.00 adults, are

essential for the Sunday morning teas.

World of Trouble

I've discovered on Overdrive/Libby a

follow-up third book to The last

policeman series I reviewed last

November. World of trouble by Ben H

Winters picks up where Countdown

city left off, with

Henry

searching

for his sister before

the world comes to

an end via a

collision with an

asteroid. I enjoyed

it as much as the

first two. We don't

have this book on

our shelves, so if

you've read the first

two, want to read

this one, but don't have access to

Overdrive to catch up, let me know and

I'll see if I can locate a copy for our

Blue Monday

By Nicci French,

this is a gripping

story of a little boy

who is snatched off

the street; it's the

first book in a

series of seven, and

has

been

very

popular

our

library. This book

is free to borrow

from our shelves,

and the rest of the series are on the

Rental Fiction shelves and 50c to

borrow for a month.

The Antipodeans

By Greg McGee, this story "spans

three generations of a New Zealand

family and their interaction with three

families of Northern Italy. From

Venice to the South Island of New

Zealand, from the assassination of a

Gestapo commander in WWII to

contemporary real estate shenanigans

Auckland,

from

political

assassination in the darkest days of the

Red Brigade to the vaulting cosmology

of particle physics, The Antipodeans is

a novel of epic proportions where

families from the opposite ends of the

earth discover an intergenerational

legacy

love,

blood

and

betrayal." (goodreads.com) I had

marked this book as one I wanted to

read when it first came out a couple of

years ago, and it did not disappoint.

This book is on the Rental Fiction

shelves in the library.

See you in the library! ~Wendy
