KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Ok. So here we are turning

over another calendar page

already this year. As summer turns to

Autumn we now deal with the Mad

March Weather. It looks as though it is

heading that way already.

Well February did not give us normal

hot sunny clear days as usual although

it was very tropical and with cyclone

Gita to boot. I notice some of those

farm

paddocks

are

boggy

already. There seems to be no

problems with running out of water in

the tanks now. The humidity was

unbearable. Lots of partly cloudy days

and odd showers. There were a few

calm days thrown in. Our temperatures

reached the high 20’s.

Thank you, Jan, for getting terribly wet

during cyclone Gita to read the rain

gauge for me.

For February 2018 we had 185mm rain

(approx. 7 ½”).

For 2017 we had 109mm.

The first 2 months of 2018 we had

375mm and 2017 we had 136mm.

Our driest February since 1987 was

1990 with 3mm and the wettest was

2004 with 266mm.

Our driest first two months since 1987

was 1990 with 38mm and the wettest

was 2018 with 375mm followed

closely with 1989 with 368mm.

We had rain on 14 days of February

2018 and 6 days of rain in 2017.

Now for a few quick jokes from quick

kids. Teacher, “why are you

late?” Student, “because class started

before I got here”. Teacher, “Winnie,

name one important thing we have

today that we did not have 10 years

ago”. Winnie, “well for one thing

there is me”. ~

Take care out there and

look after each other. Bev.

From NIWA: The Seasonal Climate

Outlook for the next three months

highlights are:



La Nina is waning



March-May's weather will be driven

by warmer than average ocean

temperatures



Temperatures will be warmer than

average and rainfall, particularly in the

North Island, will be above normal.

KAIWAKA SCHOOL

Our School Picnic was a wonderful

success, everyone came back happy,

tired and relaxed. All the teachers said

the kids were fantastically well

behaved, and they enjoyed themselves

too. There are lots of photos on our

Facebook and website.

Everyone enjoyed the Yipidee Show,

when Deano performed at our school

last week. The follow-up workshop on

writing was good too.

We are now looking forward to our

swimming sports, which are on

Thursday. Warm regards, Rosie Ellis.

Principal

Whanua 2018

Kia Ora Koutou, ngā mihi o te tau hou

- hello to you all and new year’s

greetings.

The majority (approx 90%) of our

tamariki at Kaiwaka School participate

in the kapa haka and Te Reo options.

We always have a fantastic whanau

turn out to the kapa haka events which

is great to tautoko (support) our

tamariki.

Another way to support is to attend the

Whanau Group meetings. The Whanau

Group exists to support our kaiako,

tamariki and whanau directly for Te

Reo and Kapa Haka. You don't need to

be Maori or to speak Maori, just bring

your enthusiasm and ideas to awhi

(support).

One of our main focuses this year will

be around the uniforms so will need

some fundraising ideas. We also need

support delivering the Te Reo and

Kapa Haka teaching in the class. Don't

be scared, Whaea Mina and the staff

will support and direct us.

Please contact me with any queries or

korero,

Youth Theatre 2018

We ran two weeks of our hugely

popular Youth Theatre programme in

January.

Our story this year was about Grainne

O’Malley, Granuaile, the Irish chieftain

(also known as Grace O’Malley) who

lived mainly in the 16th century. It is a

truly inspirational story and the

participants enjoyed learning of

another culture and reliving some of

the great history! The first week we

had 37 youngsters, and then the

following week, a totally different set

of 40 youngsters. Two youngsters

came from as far afield as Nelson!

It is truly amazing to see the show that

is produced after only five days of

work.

Many thanks to Otamatea Community

Services who let us use their mini-bus

to transport children from Mangawhai.

Many of these children may have

missed out otherwise, so a huge thank

you!!

And another huge thanks to the

dedicated bunch of volunteers who

work tirelessly to make this happen

every year.

INTO THE WOODS

Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim,

and directed by Peter Flower. This

fabulous show has been cast and has

just started with rehearsals. The season

of eight shows will be performed in

July - so watch this space.

Costume Hire

Remember that Otamatea Repertory

Theatre has an extensive wardrobe of

costumes for hire at reasonable rates.

Contact Maura Flower 022 354 2670

for more information.

ONE ACT PLAY FESTIVAL

One Act Play Festival – 13, 14, 15

April 2018 - at the theatre, Bickerstaffe

Road

Tickets on sale through our website-

www.ort.org.nz Adults $28, students

$15 or at Tony’s Lotto Shop. There

will also be door sales –EFTPOS

available.

Four Plays

Four contrasting plays will be

performed – something for everyone!

‘The Argument’ - written and

directed by George Skelton.

Jane Mander fans are in for a special

treat. Playwright George Skelton has

written a full-length play, ‘The Strange

Attraction ‘, based on the novel by Ms

Mander; and ‘The Argument’ is a

segment of this, a sort of

trailer for what is yet to

come. This is a dramatic

portrayal of an intense

discussion between the

three main characters,

relevant to the social standards of the

time.

‘The Strange Attraction’ is possibly the

least known of Jane Mander’s four

New Zealand based books, having been

banned in 1922 by the powers that be,

and it was only available for women

who were over 25 to read, and then

only in a library - but times have

moved on and no such ban or

censorship

rules apply.

Limited

copies of the

book will be

available for

purchase at

the theatre on

performance

dates,

with

all proceeds

going to the

ORT

Building and Renovation Fund.

‘I Never Saw Another Butterfly’ -

written by Celeste Raspanti, directed

by Brittany Dyer.

Based on the poem ‘The Butterfly’

written by Pavel Friedmann in

Theresienstadt Concentration Camp on

4 June 1942, this play is based in a

Jewish Ghetto in Terezin. Telling the

story of Raja Englandrova and her

experience throughout the Second

World War, it is a beautiful and

moving piece, based on the lives of

children who experienced life and the

hardships during these times.

‘The New Wing at Elsinore’ -

written by St John Hankin, directed by

Sue Skelton.

A short, amusing sequel to ‘Hamlet’, in

which there are complications when his

friend later buys and builds additions

on to the famous castle.

‘Trash and Treasure’ - written and

directed by Maura Flower.

Two sisters are having a garage sale to

clear the last of their Mother’s

belongings. Things are not always what

they seem… This is a whimsical

exploration of the adage that ‘one

man’s trash is another man’s treasure!’

We hope to see you at the One Act

Play Festival!

OTAMATEA REPERTORY THEATRE

From Thelma’s Scrapbook …

A woman was on the phone to a pet supply company and she was

right in the middle of ordering a cat flap to be installed in her kitchen

door, when she put the phone down without any warning. Five

minutes later she rang the company again, “I’m so sorry that I put the phone

down on you,” she explained, “only the cat walked in and the cat flap is a

surprise birthday present, so I didn’t want her to overhear our conversation.”

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of pets to share our lives. Thank you for the love

and laughter they bring into our homes. Thank you for the courage and

compassion in special situations. Thank you for their warm hearts and listening

ears. Amen.

KAIPARA

LIBRARIES

JOIN

NATIONWIDE

NETWORK

Kaipara district libraries will turn a

new digital page next month with the

launch of their new library system,

Kotui.

The Kaipara District Libraries group is

joining more than 36 other libraries

nationwide already using Kotui - a

shared library system offering benefits

to customers.

As the system changeover takes place,

library users are advised that Kaipara

libraries will be closed from Tuesday

13 March 2018 to Wednesday 14

March 2018.

Acting Chief Executive of Kaipara

District Council, Peter Tynan, said

training for the new software has been

intensive and he would like to thank

the staff and the volunteers across the

district for the time and effort they

have put in.

"We also want to thank our customers

for their patience as we adapt to the

new system. Because it's a database

that is nationwide, we'll have better

information about our resources

available to the customers. It's about

libraries working together to provide

all of their customers with easy, fast

and effective access to the local,

national and international resources

they need to live, learn and earn. The

catalogue is easy to use and an

improvement on what we currently

have, so anyone wanting to make the

most of it can let us know.”

Kotui is owned and operated by the

National Library of New Zealand in

conjunction with the Aotearoa Peoples

Network - Kaharoa. Currently 35

councils utilise the Kotui system.

Kotui will be available at Kaipara

district libraries from 15 March 2018.

There are five library locations in the

Kaipara district: Dargaville, Kaiwaka,

Mangawhai, Maungaturoto

and Paparoa.

Together the libraries stock more than

56,000 items for borrowing, including

books and DVDs.

needing a break? The Maungaturoto

Resthome offers resthome level respite

care for families. Although we are a

resthome there are no age limitations

on who we provide care for. The

friendly atmosphere in the resthome

acts as a home away from home with

staff on duty 24/7. Respite care can be

please contact us on (09) 4318 696.

Construction of Stage 1 and 2 of the 14

We know the stress that having a loved

one cared for far from home can have.

We want to care for our people, for as

long as possible, within their

community.

This is a huge project, please give

consideration as to how you may be

able to help. There are many families

that over the years have appreciated the

benefits

the

Maungaturoto

Resthome.

The facts are that in the future there

will be increasing numbers of our

community that will require increased

levels of care.

St John Maungaturoto

and Kaiwaka need

YOU!

The St 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 at

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.

At 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 on 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’.

TURKENS

Every year Belle, our turkey, goes to

the neighbours to lay her golden egg,

every year she comes home motherless,

however, this year she decided to pinch

the nest of a hen. Belle is now the very

proud mama of seven chickens, what

we have called ‘turkens’. Last week a

hawk decided it had spied a tasty meal

on legs, it came in for the attack only to

be greeted by a flying turkey attacking

it back, Belle won - all seven chickens

get to live another day

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

New library software

Next week - Thursday 15 March - we will start using the

new library program that Kaipara District Council has

purchased for the libraries in the district. It is a great

improvement on what we've been using for the past 10

years, but there will be a learning curve as all the library

volunteers (including me) get to grips with the new regime.

Please have patience with us as we learn.

There will be some immediate changes - the borrowing

period for our books and other items will be shortened to

three weeks, to bring it into line with other libraries in the

district. To make up for that, you'll now be able to renew

items twice before they must be

returned, and the number of

items you may borrow at any

one time is increased to 40.

The new system will also be

able to track debits and credits,

so if you want to borrow a

rental book but don't have any

cash on you that day, we can

carry the charge over to the

next time you visit. Overdue

fees for DVDs and BluRays

will be retained - in the old

system they were forgotten

when the item was returned - so

we will be collecting these in

future.

On the flip side, when everything is up and running

smoothly, you will be able to opt-in to receive automated

messages via email or text to remind you a couple of days

before your borrowed item(s) are overdue.

Congratulations to Liz Hyndman and Elena Paikea
