Kaiwaka Bugle - 20 February 2018

Page 1

Heavy rain did little to dampen the spirits of the

participants in the Kaiwaka Sports Association's eighth

annual Top of the Rock event on Sunday 11 February

Three hundred people had entered, there were a few no-shows due

to the inclement weather, but everybody who turned up enjoyed the

day, with some mentioning that the weather added a fun challenge.

Participants arrived back at the finish line saturated and mud-

splattered but still in good spirits.

With thank to our generous sponsors, there were over 90 prizes up

for grabs. Winners got first choice from the prize table, then the

remaining prizes were given out by a draw.

Results:

30km bike (male) Matt Andrew; 30km bike (female) Hayley

Hodgetts

10km bike (male) Andrew Birt; 10km bike (female) Zoe Watson

Run + bike (male) Sean Long; Run + bike (female) Bridget

Leonard

11km run (male) Mason Spiers; 11km run (female) Kirstie Hamlin

5km run (male) Jackson Brierly; 5km run (female) Millie Brierly

Mangawhai Tyres donated $50 for the oldest competitor. This was won by 77 year old local Jewel

Mills who did the 11km walk. Jewel has participated in Top of the Rock every year since its

inception. A lawnmower, generously donated by Kaiwaka Motorcycles, was auctioned and went to

Peter Flower. Meat packs donated by Silver Fern Farms went to Sue Joll, Niall McKenzie and Karen

Stewart. The Volunteers Prize Draw was won by Carol Mills and Denise McMonagle. The main spot

prize of a mountain bike, kindly sponsored by Torpedo 7 was won by Natasha Hammer.

Photos can be viewed on the Top of the Rock Facebook page and on www.kaiwakasports.co.nz.

As with most community events this is a

team effort, so thank you to:

•

the many marshals and registration

officials

•

the various community groups who

provided food stalls

•

Kaiwaka Fire Brigade for the route

supervision

•

Coates Family Trust

•

Roxanne Kelly for traffic management

•

bar staff, Happy Fish Band, first-aiders

and photographers

•

and the many landowners who gave

permission for the routes to go over their

farmland.

Many thanks to our generous

sponsors:

OPEN DAY on Wednesday 21 February, 10.30am -

ACAPELLA GOSPEL SINGING WORKSHOP

March 16th to 18th

International singer and choir director Tony Backhouse

has been called the "godfather of a cappella and gospel

choir" in Australia and New Zealand.

Tony teaches African-American gospel songs, old and

new, he embraces South African church songs, do-wop, R

& B and pop. The emphasis is on harmony, collective im-

provisation, and freedom of expression. No music-reading

skills are required.

'Backhouse is Australasia's premier arranger and teacher

of a cappella gospel. Tim Finn says he is quite simply the

finest vocal arranger he knows, and Sam Neill reckons

he's a national treasure.'

We are very excited to host this amazing opportunity here

at the Wellsford Community Centre.

Kaiwaka Can losing our MVP

Kaiwaka Can has now been going for

more than three years. For practically

the whole of that time, we have had the

valued service of Annie van der Plas,

council community liaison officer who

has attended almost all of our meetings.

Annie has been the person working

behind the scenes between meetings to

get things done. In our negotiations

with NZTA over speed through the

town, she has been the contact point

and negotiator with NZTA. When

budgets are being set by Council,

Annie has been our advocate to get

funding for a variety of projects. When

we need information on how things

work or where to get information,

Annie has been the person who can

supply the information.

Without Annie, we would have been

able to achieve very little and while

there is a great deal to do yet, her help

has seen us make far more progress

than we would have expected. And

everything she has done has been with

a cheerful and gentle manner and a real

heart for the Kaiwaka community.

So, it is with a real sense of loss that

we heard of her resignation and this

Monday night, February 19th, will be

her last meeting with us. Council is

working on a new appointment and we

will continue to have Council

representation at our meetings.

Immediate projects in front of us

We are still waiting to get the fence up

round the playground, held up by the

fact the NorthTec tutor who was

bringing a team to do the work had a

nasty accident towards the end of last

year and has been forced to leave his

role at North Tec. We may well do this

job ourselves so if you are a fencing

expert or love painting, keep this in

mind.

We had been working on a plan for a

very extensive walkway opposite

McClean Park but health and safety

issues make this a no go. So, we are

working instead to link the walkway

from McClean Park, under the bridge

to the network of walkways at the

sports ground and in the bush below.

There are lots of other ideas also for

other walkways to make Kaiwaka a

great place to enjoy on foot.

The striking entrance sculptures

planned for each end of Kaiwaka are

progressing slowly through the many

layers of NZTA but we hope we are

nearly there.

Public Meeting

There are lots of other projects in many

areas we are looking at but we believe

it is time we held a public meeting to

have a wider group comment and help

us prioritise. We are setting a date for

that meeting as the Bugle goes to print

(February 19th) and will announce it in

the next edition. Remember though that

Kaiwaka Can is an open group with no

formal membership and anyone is

welcome to any of our meetings, held

each third Monday, 5.30pm in the

Archie Bull Hall behind the Anglican

Church.

COUNCILLOR’S

COMMENT*

with Otamatea Ward

Councillor Jonathan

Larsen.

Long Term Plan

The past month has been

a very busy time on

Council with the three-yearly review

of the Long Term Plan (LTP). The

LTP is the ten-year budget within

which defines how Council work is to

be prioritised and funded. This has

important

implications

for

all

ratepayers

and

residents

–

determines both the level of service

provided by Council, and the quantum

of rates to be collected to provide this

service.

LTP Meeting Kaiwaka

Subject to sign off by Council on 28

February, the LTP Consultation

Document will be released for public

submissions. There will be a

presentation on the LTP at Kaiwaka on

13 March, and submissions will close

on Sunday 8 April 2018. If you would

like to receive notifications on the LTP

please

haveyoursay@kaipara.govt.nz to join

the contact list.

Reserves Contributions

I have previously mentioned the funds

that have been collected for the

development of new and existing

reserves (reserves contributions), that

are supposed to be used to offset the

effects of population growth in an area.

Following a lengthy process, I have

now managed to get the new policy

firstly approved through committee,

and now through full Council. The

new policy will be coming out for

consultation as part of the LTP process

before implementation. The two key

implications for Kaiwaka are – the

money collected from Kaiwaka and

surrounds will now be available for

use in that area (a total collected to

date of $463,000), and there will be a

public process whereby community

groups can submit a proposal for

consideration.

Make a Submission

If you agree with this approach, please

make a submission in support of the

new

policy.

Subject

this

consultation, now would be a good

time to start thinking about what

Kaiwaka needs in the way of new and

improved reserves, walkways and

outdoor recreation areas (must be on

Council land and not on road reserves,

and can include the purchase of land

for new reserves).

If you have any community projects or

issues that you would like assistance

with, I can be contacted on Ph. 021

185 8389 or

Cr.Larsen@kaipara.govt.nz.

MAUNGATUROTO and

DISTRICTS ROTARY

CLUB

While our year has started quietly we

are now back into full swing. Our first

meeting was a very enjoyable BBQ at

President

Alex’s

home and while the

weather did try to

annoy us we had a

good

chance

socialize

with

Rotarians, friends and

visitors. The next

meeting night involved a small group

of us being hosted at the Mangawhai

Bowling club where teams were made

up of both Rotarians and Mangawhai

bowlers. This was also an enjoyable

evening.

McKenzie Rose

Our first visitor for the year will be our

President’s Scholarship winner, who is

McKenzie Rose. We understand that

she is an incredibly motivated young

person, thoroughly deserving of the

award and we look forward to hear

how her training is progressing.

Horse Trek

The weather tried to impede our

inaugural Horse Trek. However, the

riders who did take part in the event

would like to see it as an annual event.

Even though it was quite wet,

participants enjoyed the ride, the

scenery and the hospitality.

Calf Litter

You may have seen bags of calf litter

being sold at the Maungaturoto Four

Square and the weekly Paparoa market.

As we have a large amount of this litter

available we have decided to purchase

bags that will hold 20kg so we can

maintain consistency of product. We

also hope to make it available in other

areas.

Piroa Falls

You may have noticed some changes at

Piroa Falls. DOC has come on board

and has completed some upgrades of

the track. We are also looking at doing

some tree planting in the area and

DOC is going to put more picnic tables

on site. This popular spot will be really

enhanced by these improvements.

Last year we purchased a car and later

in February a number of Rotarians are

being trained by Drivesafe Northland

to enable them to support those who

need to complete the driving aspect of

obtaining their licence.

Peter Garnett

On the 13th March

at a normal Rotary

meeting we are

ARTISTS GALLERY

Paint Club 2018

Friday 9 – 21March 2018

Mandy Thomsett-Taylor with Brenda

Adam, Marina Bagley, Faye Bagosi,

Mary-Anne Boyd, Edie Chappell,

Barbara Cope, Ngaire Evans, Nicola

Everett, Jan Grover, Faith Blue.

This exhibition shows the creativity of

a group of artists who get together once

a month in the Art House Studio,

Mangawhai.

All

the

artists

participating have completed a painting

and drawing course with Mandy

Thomsett-Taylor

Art

House

Mangawhai.

Mandy’s

classes

encompass the spirit of personal

direction and individual vision. She

encourages students to develop their

individual artistic voice. The exhibition

celebrates this entirely.

Mandy explains ‘Paint Club is an

opportunity for the artists to create a

series of individual works that

represent who they are and the

direction their art work is beginning to

take. The exhibition is exciting because

of the diversity of art on display from

the 11 exhibiting artists.’

For Mandy, as tutor, she finds, ‘Paint

Club continues to be a source of

inspiration and more importantly, a

place to build strong friendships based

on creativity.’

Paint Club facilitates an opportunity to

share ideas, encourage and offer

feedback to each other, not to mention

enjoying lunch and loads of laughter!

The show promises to be very

interesting and full of surprises, please

call by and say hello, spend some time

checking out this exhibition. You will

love it.

Mandy Thomsett-Taylor’s Art House

Studio is 40 Thelma Road South

CENSUS DAY IS

6 MARCH

For now, just look out for your

access code letter and keep it

somewhere safe. Letters will arrive

from 23 February.

The 2018 Census will be online.

Our next census will be different. We

are aiming to collect most of the

census information online. We’ll send

or deliver an access code to every

household in New Zealand. Paper

forms will still be available for those

who prefer them.

Stats NZ are getting ready to run the

next census. The census is the official

count of how many people and

dwellings there are in New Zealand.

By asking everyone to complete a set

of questions about themselves and

their households we capture a snapshot

of who is living in and visiting New

Zealand.

Census information is used by central

government, councils, community

groups, iwi and businesses to make

informed decisions and plan for the

future.

It’s time for you to do your part to

build a snapshot of the people and

places that make up New Zealand.

This time around, the census is online,

and you’ll be given everything you

need to take part soon.

In late February, every household in

the country will receive a census

access code. For now, just look out for

it arriving in your letterbox and keep it

somewhere safe. Your household will

need this access code to complete the

census on or before 6 March 2018.

When you take part in this year’s

census, either online, or by paper if

you prefer, we have safeguards and

procedures in place to make sure your

information is secure and remains

confidential. Your privacy is important

to us and protecting it is what we do.

The Statistics Act 1975 requires

everyone in New Zealand on census

day to take part.

LINKING

HANDS

Communities take pride

The communities of Maungaturoto,

Ruakaka, Waipu, Mangawhai, and

Kaiwaka will soon celebrate a proud

achievement. For 10 years they have

managed to make sure no-one in their

communities missed out on important

medical treatment because of a need

for transport.

These communities have distinguished

themselves in supplying volunteer

drivers, administration staff, and

donations to keep the Linking Hands

service flourishing since 2008.

Linking Hands started out as a resource

centre connecting people with those

who could help - thus Linking Hands!

After five years they were offered a

shuttle van which enabled them to link

patients and medical services and the

health shuttle service we know today

was born.

Everybody is invited to join the

celebrations on the 17th of March in

the St John Hall, Maungaturoto from 2

pm to 4 pm for a memorable afternoon

tea and juicy titbits of history. An

RSVP

to linkinghandsmain@gmail.com now

or by the 10th of March will help a lot

but isn’t a condition for attending.

You may also like them on their

Facebook page, www.facebook.com/

LinkingHandsIncorporated/ or support

visiting

our

website

at www.linkinghands.co.nz to pave the

way for another 10 successful years.

New library program

This time next month, we - and the

other libraries in the district - will be

using a new library program to manage

our collections and borrowings. We've

all got a lot to learn before then (I've

already had two days of training at

Dargaville Library, so I can teach our

team, and there's more to come) but

once we've had a bit of practice at it, it

will be superior to what we're using

now. Please bear with us and have

patience while we get to grips with all

the changes. On Wednesday 14

March we will be working manually to

issue books taken out that day while

the new system is brought online, then

on Thursday 15 March it goes live and

we celebrate. More information about

it all in the next Bugle. Many thanks to

Dargaville Public Library and Kaipara

District Council for investing in our

future.

want to keep. Do come in and take a

look, there's bound to be something of

interest for you. We will be clearing

months to make way for 'new' stock, so

get in now before it's too late! They're

$1 each, or three for $2, or ten for $5.

Sold

By Patricia McCormick, this is the

story of Lakshmi, "a

thirteen-year-old

girl

who lives with her

family in a small hut on

a mountain in Nepal.

Though

she

desperately poor, her

life is full of simple

pleasures, like playing

hopscotch with her best friend from

school, and having her mother brush

her hair by the light of an oil lamp. But

when the harsh Himalayan monsoons

wash away all that remains of the

family's crops, Lakshmi's stepfather

says she must leave home and take a

job to support her family." The reality

is that she has been sold into slavery, to

work as a prostitute for her new owner

in the city, and it seems that the only

way

escape

die

(goodreads.com).

This book is in our

Teen Fiction collection, currently

located on the Rental Fiction shelves

for exposure, but free to borrow.

See you in the library! ~Wendy

From Thelma’s

Scrapbook …

PERFECT PURR-

SUASION

…You have forsaken your first love

(Revelation 2:4

When it comes to the gentle art of

persuasion the cat’s got it licked.

Independent and aloof most of the

time, the common moggy is the master

of manipulation, fooling us with

purrfect flattery when he or she wants

help or attention.

You don’t have to be a cat owner to

know what I mean – you will have

seen it on the TV ads for cat food or

witnessed it first-hand at a friend’s

house.

Her majesty will stroll past, nose in the

air, as if you’re not worth spitting

upon. Then, moments later, she will

return and act as though you are the

most important being in the world; the

hub of her entire universe. She will

unashamedly flirt with you – rubbing

her head against you, wrapping her

smooth, silky body around your legs,

all the time purring in ecstasy.

And why this sudden display of love

and veneration? Why, because she

wants something of course. Food, milk,

attention; it really doesn’t matter,

because as sure as eggs are eggs, once

you have satisfied her every desire,

she’s off again, and suddenly you’re

not worthy of a sideways glance. In

fact, you no longer exist as far as she is

concerned.

That, believe it or not, is exactly how

we treat God sometimes. We go about

our day-to-day lives with scant regard

for the Heavenly Father who provides

for us. Until we need something, that

is. And then we declare undying love

and devotion, often promising the

moon on a stick if God will meet our

needs or entertain our whims and

fancies.

And what happens when our prayer is

answered favourably? We go joyfully

on our way, relying on our own

strength and ability and conveniently

forgetting God’s constant care and

provision for us, until we need him

again.

Fickle as felines, aren’t we?

“However do you put up with me

Lord? I am so fickle, so shallow, so

inconsistent. Forgive me, yet again,

and help me to be more loyal

and

quicker to say thankyou

.”
