THE MOUNTAIN

BETWEEN US

(M)

Friday 9 February, 7.30pm

Stranded after a tragic plane crash, two

strangers must forge a connection to

survive the extreme elements of a remote

snow-covered mountain. When they

realize help is not coming, they embark

on a perilous journey across hundreds of

miles of wilderness, pushing one another

to endure and discovering strength they

never knew possible.

The film is directed by Academy Award nominee

Hany Abu-Assad and stars Academy Award

winner Kate Winslet and Idris Elba.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR” from

the "Girls at Hakaru".

18 members attended our

January meeting.

The main topic discussed at the

meeting

was

our

BOWLS

TOURNAMENT, which was to have

been held first week in February. This

Tournament has been CANCELLED

due to lack of interest and entries from

other Clubs with too fewer entries to

justify all the work that goes into

holding it. We hope next year will

produce more Women’s Section

younger bowlers and it will be all

"GO”!!

We congratulate our NZ President

Angel Erstich on being presented with

her NZ Citizens Award, and also

congratulate our Patroness Fay Wintle

on her 80th + Birthday.

We appreciated a thankyou letter from

the McCabe Family and we all wish

Jeanelle better health after her

treatment.

Our next meeting is our A.G.M. and

will be Held at the RSA Clubrooms at

Hakaru at 1.30 p.m. on Thursday 22nd

February. The nomination sheet is on

the notice board. Members need to be

financial to vote or add names to sheet.

Nominees signature are necessary also.

New Members are always welcome,

any enquiries phone Jan Mann

4314512 or Lena Carleton 4315034.

Members if you know of any

interesting Speakers out there please let

the committee know. ~ Cheers, Ann.

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Welcome to 2018.

Well, this year summer has given us

the weather it should be. Mostly very

hot and sunny. A bit much for me to

handle though. Even the hardy souls

go out and garden and then shelter

inside from lunch time on. (you

remember the saying, only mad dogs

and English men go out in the midday

sun. So far our summer has been as it

should be, although December was not

that great. It did pull itself together

later in the month.

Temperatures this year were up in the

mid-thirties on most days. We had that

very welcome rain early in the month

and topped the tanks up beautifully.

We had quite a bit of wind later in the

month. The water tankers were a bit

quiet for a while there. The tanks will

need topping again soon if not now.

For January this year at our house we

had 190mm and January 2017 we had

27mm.

We had rain on 8 days this year and in

January 2017 we had rain on 3 days.

Our driest January since 1987 was

2013 with 10mm, and our wettest

January was 1989 with 343mm -yes,

that is right - we only had 10 days

WITHOUT rain.

Now that most people are back at work

life can be normal again. The teacher

asked a child “what is the chemical

formula for water”? The child

answered, “H I J K L M N O”. The

teacher asked him “what are you

talking about”? The child answered,

“yesterday you said it was H to O”.

Keeping our fingers crossed we will

get some rain over the next few

days. Take care out there folk and

look after each other. ~ Bev.

The Kaiwaka Sports Association's

eighth annual multi-sport event, the

Top of the Rock, is this Sunday and

it's not too late to enter!

Top of the Rock is Kaiwaka's biggest

event of the year and it attracts

hundreds of people from all around the

country. And hopefully lots of our

locals will support us too!

Our event caters for people of all ages

and fitness levels:



5km walk or run



11km walk or run



30km mountain bike ride



10km mountain bike ride



10km run + 15km mountain bike

ride combo (can be done as an

individual or with a partner)



a free fun bike ride for under 10-year

olds

Routes travel through some of

Kaiwaka's most scenic countryside –

bush, lakes, and farmland - and crosses

terrain usually closed to the public.

And you get the opportunity to climb

iconic

Baldrock

Mountain

and

experience the breath-taking views.

You don't need to be concerned about

your fitness level as we have marshals

in utes following the tail enders who

will give you a ride back if you get

tired!

The more casual participants can

choose to stroll along the 5km or 11km

route taking in the scenery, while the

competitive athletes often choose to

tackle the more challenging routes.

For Children

We have several options for children:

children as young as pre-schoolers can

walk the 5km route (or sit in strollers),

and our 10km mountain bike route is

ideally suited for juniors.

The fun bike

ride for under 10-year olds goes around

the KSA fields and the school grounds

plus a bit into the neighbour’s farm -

nice and flat, perfect for the little ones!

All children will get a certificate when

they complete it – this is free to enter.

On the day at the Sports Complex there

will be food and drink stalls, live

music, kid’s games, bouncy castles and

the swimming pool will be open. TV3's

Brendon “The Money Man” Johnson

will host the prizegiving with prizes for

placegetters as well as lots of great spot

prizes. The major spot prize is a

mountain bike, sponsored by Torpedo

7. An auction will be held for a

Husqvarna lawnmower, kindly donated

by Kaiwaka Motorcycles.

Entry forms can be found at Jaques

Four

Square

and

www.kaiwakasports.co.nz.

Ways to enter:



directly online at

www.kaiwakasports.co.nz



scan and email your entry form to

Cheryl at kaiwakasports@gmail.com



drop your form off at Jaques Four

Square



Sports Complex this Friday 6.30 – 8pm

(this is your last chance to enter)

Note: there are NO ENTRIES ON

THE DAY.

Top of the Rock is a fabulous

community event – we hope you can

support

the

Kaiwaka

Sports

Association by entering. It's a fun day!

MANGAWHAI

WALKING

WEEKEND

Like walking with a good friend, it keeps

on getting better!

This year’s Mangawhai Walking

Weekend, the 19th annual event, is

from 15 to 18th March, it has really put

Mangawhai and the Kaipara on the

walking map. “It is not just about the

great variety of walks and events we

offer,”

says

organiser

Dorothy

Freeman.

“Our

feedback

from

participants

continues to reinforce how important

knowledgeable guides are to the

enjoyment of the walks.”

Most walks have three local guides to

pass on their knowledge and you can

be sure there will be plenty of banter

along the way. Many visitors use the

weekend to sample what Mangawhai

walks are about – to return later to do

walks under their own steam.

Regular

Mangawhai

Walking

Weekenders might be looking for

something new; this year five new

events have been added to the

programme.

The weekend begins on Thursday 15th

with a seriously good long walk

designed with experienced trampers in

mind. Friday 16th March sees the

return of the ever popular –

Troubadour

Trail.

This

opportunity to enjoy music and magic

as you pause while stroll along the

Mangawhai Harbour edge. This has

become a favourite all ages/all abilities

event.

On Saturday participants will be spoilt

for choice. Keen walkers have a choice

of several 4 to 5 hour grade 4 walks.

For those preferring a less demanding

outing they are also taken care of –

whether it’s gardens, sheds, gentle

rambles or activities on the water. All

Saturday activities will allow you to

return to Mangawhai to enjoy the

annual Food and Wine Festival in a

village olive grove.

A further ten events are available on

Sunday morning, and walkers if they

wish, can join us for a sumptuous

breakfast at the Domain.

the

website

www.mangawhaiwalking.co.nz you

will find comprehensive information

on all walks and how to book. Many of

the walks will sell out, we limit the

number of participants for safety

reasons, we also cannot accept walking

bookings on the day, so please do book

early.

There really is a walk for all abilities

and interests, and for those non-

walkers, come and join us for one of

the active beach and water activities.

Bulk Cartage

On 25 April each year we

commemorate the landings of the

Anzacs on the Gallipoli Peninsula in

Turkey.

The commemorative sites at Gallipoli

are the sovereign territory of the

Turkish people and holding the annual

Anzac Day commemorative services is

only possible with the cooperation and

generous assistance of the Government

of the Republic of Turkey.

In 2018, Australia and New Zealand

will conduct the iconic Dawn Service

at the Anzac Commemorative Site at

Gallipoli, starting at 5.30am after an

overnight vigil. Later that morning

Australia will conduct a memorial

service at Lone Pine at 9:30 am, and

New Zealand will conduct its own

memorial service at Chunuk Bair at

11:30 am – timings for the Australian

and New Zealand services are subject

to confirmation.

There is no ballot for the 2018 Anzac

Day services at Gallipoli but attendees

will require an attendance pass.

Anyone wishing to attend the Dawn

Service can do so regardless of

nationality. The New Zealand Service

at Chunuk Bair is also open to all

nationalities. All visitors will be able to

be accommodated on the Chunuk Bair

site or on one adjacent overflow site.

All visitors (New Zealand, Australian

or other nationalities) who choose to

walk from the Dawn Service site, up

2nd Ridge Road to Lone Pine, and then

on to Chunuk Bair (past Quinn’s Post,

The Nek, Baby 700) will be coach

loaded from Chunuk Bair. There will

be no coach loading at any other

location within the Anzac Battlefield.

LED TO LIGHT

UP KAIPARA

Kaipara District Council has

secured a total budget of $1.20

million (comprised of shared funding from

the government (85%) and Kaipara District

Council (15%)) to accelerate its LED street

lighting programme.

The funding means work to replace the

majority of the street lights in the Kaipara

District with more energy efficient lighting

can start earlier and be completed within

12 months.

The LED street lights offer a clearer,

brighter light than the old, yellow high-

pressure sodium lamps. The new lights also

have a significantly longer life, require less

maintenance and have lower power usage,

which adds up to major cost savings.

The new 853 LED lights will cover the

majority of local streets in the district and

are predominately 70 watts High Pressure

Sodium lights. The LED conversion

project is for all existing lights which are

100 watts or lower capacity, anything

above 100 watts will require specific

design.

The new LED lights have a total power

consumption of 25 watts with no ballast

which means a total power consumption of

0.025kW per hour for the district, a 35%

decrease (compared to current power

usage).

Peter Tynan, Acting Chief Executive of

Kaipara District Council says “As well as

offering cost savings through maintenance

and energy costs, the new, brighter white

lights enable people to see more clearly.

There is an added benefit in a drop in light

pollution resulting in less glare or a ‘yellow

haze’ as you approach a township at

night.”

“LED lighting is becoming the standard for

street lighting in cities throughout the

world and securing this funding from the

government means that communities

throughout the district can now benefit

from the change.”

The new LED lights will cover all streets

in Aranga, Arapaoa, Dargaville, Glinks

Gully,

Kaihu,

Kaiwaka,

Mangatu,

Mangawhai, Matakohe, Maungaturoto,

Pahi, Paparoa, Pouto, Pukehuia, Ruawai,

Te Kopuru, Tinopai and Whakapirau apart

from those on State Highways. The roll out

will take place over the next year with

local operator McKay’s Electrical being

awarded the contract.

ARTHRITIS

NUMBERS

RISE

More New Zealanders than ever are

living with arthritis – around 647,000

adults.

Arthritis comes in many forms and can

affect people of any age. The most

common is osteoarthritis, which affects

10 percent of adults (about 386,000),

followed by gout (110,000 adults) and

rheumatoid arthritis (109,000 adults).

Arthritis New Zealand encourages

people to stay mobile, reduce weight

and eat a healthy diet to reduce the

impact of arthritis as they age. The

charity, which relies on community

fundraising for most of its income, also

advocates for better access to

rheumatology services and arthritis

medications, accessible packaging, and

early

treatment

gout.

Arthritis New Zealand aims to improve

the life of every person affected by

arthritis. For more information, phone

The ANSWERPHONE

MESSAGE

A literature buff installed an

answering machine on his telephone.

Instead of the usual instructions about

leaving a message he recorded a

parody of Hamlet's famous soliloquy:

"To speak, or not to speak, that is the

question. Whether 'tis nobler in the

mind to leave a message after the

beep, or to take arms against a sea of

answering

machines,

and

opposing, end them.

To dial, to speak, no

more.

Thus,

answering machines

do make cowards of

us all."

KAIWAKA RUBBISH

McClean Park

We owe a very big

thank

you

Elizabeth Preston

for keeping an eye

on a very busy

Kaiwaka rest area .

The rotten caravan

that she reported

dumped in the Park - photo in 12

December Bugle, was further

vandalised and other rubbish added,

was finally

removed

just before

Christmas -

after more

her

phone calls.

Elizabeth, now 82 years old checks

McClean Park every day, as she has

been doing for nearly ten years now.

She collects rubbish left, plants the wee

garden, tries to keep the rampant

poplars at bay, and reports any

problems.

Oneriri Road Collection

Ratepayers on the Oneriri Peninsula

received a letter from the Council last

week regarding the Wednesday Refuse

collection, reminding them that the

blue bags go out no more than 24 hours

before pickup. Northland Waste green

bags are not picked up in the Oneriri

area - they can be searched, treated as

illegal dumping, and liable to a $5000

fine, along with no-bag rubbish.

Kaiwaka

Kaiwaka township, and the roads north

and east do have the two refuse

collectors - KDC with a Wednesday

collection, and Northland Waste

collecting on Mondays. Northland

Waste (0800 499 246) also have large

wheelie bins available (folk have found

these a great for keeping animals out of

their rubbish).

There are private firms eg. Total

Wheelie Bins, that have collection bin

services - even down the Oneriri.

The Hakaru Transfer Station has a very

good recycling service - for paper,

bottles, cans and plastic at only a small

charge.

Parekura Rd. collection point is improving -

only one

carton

and one

It was noted that recently an Oneriri

farmer was ‘sewing’ fertiliser by air.

There is now very little aerial

topdressing in our area.

Oneriri Peninsula has at least eight

topdressing airstrips – from the end of

Pukenui Road out to Oneriri Station;

on the Hakaru side there was one on

Jeffery’s farm at the top of Brown

Road. Do you know of others?

From ‘Centennial of Kaiwaka 1859 –

1959’, page 112 – “The back- breaking

bags of fertiliser and lime have

disappeared, and these are now sown

by motorised distributors or, on the

steep land, by aircraft. Kaiwaka was

one of the first districts to adopt these

new methods; in fact, the BBC

broadcast on Christmas Day, 1949,

describing the novelty of aerial

topdressing, was from a recording

made in Kaiwaka.”

And, this excerpt is from Wikipedia -

"Several factors lay behind the

development of aerial topdressing in

the apparent backwater of New

Zealand. The New Zealand public

service gave its employees time and

resources to pursue their ideas and

publish research. Many farms

included

hill country, where it was

impossible

spread

fertiliser by truck. New

Zealand farms tended to be

large eno

ugh to make the

costs

worthwhile.

High

prices for lamb and wool in

the early 1950s gave farmers

the extra capital. World War

II had left behind cheap war-

surplus Tiger Moths and

highly trained ex air force

pilots."

Whānaunga Touch Tournament and Gala

The committee wishes to pay respect to

Russell Kemp. A significant loss to

Ngāti Whātua, Te Uri o Hau, Otamatea

and our communities within the

Kaipara area. Unbeknown to many,

Russell conceptualise this kaupapa five

years ago. His belief was that our local

youth and whānau were talented and

this tournament would be a good

opportunity to showcase that. “How

good are you” was never a question,

always a statement to challenge. His

guidance will be greatly missed.

Further acknowledgement of Kerry

Strongman passing, master carver in

whakairo and kindness of heart

donation all the trophies for our

tournament. Moe mai ra korua.

The

annual

Whanaunga

Touch

Tournament and Gala was held at the

Kaiwaka Sport Complex on 6

January

2018. This year the committee decided

to have two mixed grades, social and

open. This proved to be a successful

move with teams reaching the

maximum allowed for the tournament.

In addition, there was a Gala

atmosphere with stall selling kai and

taonga. Part of the kaupapa was to raise

funds for the Otamatea Marae Complex

Development via kai stall, hangi, and

raffles. Funds raised will be reported to

the Otamatea Trustees Committee in

February.

184 registered players entered the

tournament!! Ages ranging from 50+ to

9 years old. With cousins playing

cousins, whanau matching whanau,

and moko versing moko it was an

From Thelma’s

Scrapbook …

(with Valentine’s Day in

mind!!)

To You.

I’d rather have the thought of you,

To hold against my heart,

Than any earthly happiness

In which you have no part.

I’d rather have you and your love

For every day I live,

Than all the glory and the wealth

This world could ever give!!

Valentine’s Day, also

called

Saint

Valentine’s Day or the

Feast

Saint

Valentine is an annual

holiday celebrated on

14 February.

It originated as a

Western

Christian

liturgical feast day

honouring one or more

of early saints named

Valentinus, and

recognised

significant cultural and

commercial

celebration in many

regions

world, although it is

The Ministry of Education’s Learning Support Service

(previously known as Special Education) has been working

with your Schools/Kura, Early Childhood, Te Rūnanga o

Ngāti Whātua and Te Uri o Hau to provide Te Arahi better

support to children who need additional help with their

learning. We are trialling a different way of working so that

children who need additional support, access this as quickly

as possible. Difficulties with learning might include

language and learning delay, social and emotional

difficulties, behaviour and wellbeing.

What is happening?

We have set up Support Hubs (called Te Manawa Tahi) in

various locations in your community. Te Manawa Tahi have

specialists available so you can discuss your concerns

directly with them, and determine what may be required to

help.

Te Arahi will be flying on a flag outside each Te Manawa

Tahi venue.

When is this happening?

Please see the timetable below for information on

when and where Te Manawa Tahi will be in your

community.

From 9:30 am to 12:30 pm Te Manawa Tahi can be visited

by appointment. You can ring and make an appointment by

calling 0800 KAHUI AKO (0800 52484 256) or your

School / Kura / Early Childhood centre can make an

appointment for you. You can also email us at

learningsupport.twincoast@education.govt.nz or visit our

Facebook page “Te Manawa Tahi Twin Coast” and keep an

eye out for our updates and helpful resources.

If you want to drop in to Te Manawa Tahi without an

appointment you can do so from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm.

When are the changes happening?

We are trialling the different way

of working from October 2017

through until June 2018.
