WONDER

(PG)

Friday 6 April, 7.30pm

Based on the New York Times bestseller,

WONDER tells the inspiring and heart-

warming story of August Pullman. Born with

facial differences that, up until now, have

prevented him from going to a mainstream

school, Auggie becomes the most unlikely of

heroes when he enters the local fifth grade.

As his family, his new classmates, and the

larger community all struggle to find their

compassion and acceptance, Auggie's

extraordinary journey will unite them all and

prove you can't blend in when you were born

to stand out

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Welcome to April my

friends. Hopefully we will

have a good one.

With ‘Mad March’ done and dusted we

look forward to our last two months of

Autumn being nice.

I read where 2017-2018 was the hottest

summer ever recorded. No wonder we

were complaining of the heat. I do

know some people love it though.

Kaikohe recorded the highest wind

gust ever recorded. According to

Science reporter Jamie Morton, from

the N.Z. Herald, that our La Nina

climate bringing the hottest summer in

history is about to fizzle out - but the

warmth looks set to stay for the next 3

months. NIWA is predicting a high

chance

above

average

warmth temperature all over the

country.

Well, March was rather wet, but we

did not beat last year, and we had some

real strong winds also, though we had

some lovely calm sunny days. On the

day/ night of 24th/25th we had 134mm

at our house and then the next day/

night we had 42mm - approximately 7

inches in old measurements. I guess

some had more than that.

For March 2018 at our house we had

238mm and March 2017 we had

329mm. We had10 days with rain in

March 2018 and 2017 we 7 days with

rain.

Our first 3 months of 2018 we had

610mm and for 2017 we had 465mm.

Driest March since 1987 was 2004

with 8mm and the wettest was 2017

with 329mm.

Our driest first 3 months of any year

since 1987 was 2013 with 69mm and

the wettest was 2011 with 529mm.

You know the weather was so dry the

frogs were taking swimming lessons.

Cheers everybody and take care out

there. ~ Bev.

Former

MetService

Weather

Ambassador Bob McDavitt says rain is

measured in a rain gauge and its depth

is measured in millimetres (mm).

"A mm of rain spread out over a square

metre weighs around 1Kg and takes up

1 litre in volume. If we spread the

same depth of rain over a hectare

(100m x 100m) then it weighs a tonne /

1000kg"

So, 1 mm of rain = 1L per square M.

"Millilitres of rain is probably what

hydrologists and roof builders work

with" says Bob. "If you know the

square metres of your roof (when

reduced to a flat surface) then multiply

that by the mm of rain to get the litres

going into your rain storage tank, so if

your place got 50mm of rain last night

(two inches) and your (flattened) roof

is 50 sq. metres then that is 50 x 50 =

2,500 litres into the storage tank. or a

quarter of a 10,000-litre tank".

This programme aims to help those on

a learner’s licence to gain their

restricted licence.

“At present only about 20% of drivers

attain their restricted licence on

their first attempt,” Rotarian, Eileen

Parsons said. “Our aim is to improve

this substantially. Clients will be

offered 12 one-hour lessons and there

is no cost to the clients, except a firm

commitment to the course.”

“Rotary is providing a 2001 Holden

Barina for the programme and

Garnett’s Tyre Service Manager, Dean

Garnett, will give each student a one-

hour

car

maintenance

tutorial.”

Participants in the programme will

receive 12 one-hour lessons delivered

by a driving mentor. So far, six

Rotarians have trained for this role.

Part of the course will also be carried

out in Whangarei to give the learner

drivers the skills to drive safely under

city conditions.

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 HIGH SCHOOL

STRATEGIC PLANNING

NOTICE TO THE

COMMUNITY

As part of a regular review cycle,

Otamatea High School is embarking on

a revision of the existing vision, values,

and strategic direction of the school.

It is almost 5 years since Rachel

Clothier-Simmonds was appointed

Principal and during her tenure, there

have been a lot of new initiatives and

changes that have taken place that have

resulted in improved achievement

results and school culture. With an

increasing roll, changing population,

and developing initiatives in education,

it is timely to consult with the staff,

students and community to ensure that

the school continues to meet the needs

of those it serves and to define a future

direction for the school.

The Board of Trustees have contracted

Sue Poynter to lead a values driven

approach to define a long-term vision

and framework that will drive the

future focus of the school.

Sue is an independent educational

consultant who has worked closely

with Otamatea High School in an

advisory capacity on a number of

projects including strategic planning,

professional

development

and

performance review.

The process will involve answering a

number of questions framed around

student learning and achievement,

school culture, effective teaching and

leadership,

and

community

engagement. The answers to these

questions will be synthesised via a

voting process that will determine

common priorities and values, and will

result in a shared vision for the school.

On Friday, May 4

, 2018 we will be

spending

the

whole

day

collaboration with staff and community

to explore and shape the future

education of your children. We invite

members of the community who would

like to participate in this process to

contact

Nikki

ohs@otamatea.school.nz

with

expression of interest.

Lunch will be provided. Please confirm

attendance for this full day event by

midday on Tuesday 1

May as

catering numbers need to be finalised.

Come and join us!

Sue Poynter, School Solutionz

CYBER SAFETY: On Thursday 10th

May at 6pm we will be hosting a

community event centred around cyber

safety. The main purpose of the

evening

will

be:

develop

understanding of the types of

technology which young people are

currently exposed; to learn strategies

for monitoring the use of technology;

to teach young people the skills of

using technology positively.

Mangawhai Artists Gallery

Free Community Art Project 2018

Rosina Kamphuis and Mangawhai Artists

Thursday 19 April – Sunday 13 May

SHEER MAGIC!

Remember Project Stingray held in the

Mangawhai Artists Gallery this time

last year? Have you seen the resulting

iconic Stingray installation on the

exterior gallery wall?

Rosina has created another exciting

Free Community Art Experience from

19 April to 13 May 2018 for all ages!

This year we invite the Mangawhai

community to celebrate our native

New Zealand bush with two weeks for

the community to “drop in and paint” a

bush theme on amazing natural bush

materials, river stones and paper

banners.

The Mangawhai Artists Gallery, on 45

Moir Road in the Village, will be

transformed into a community painting

studio. Then Rosina and her team of

Mangawhai Artists helpers will create

a spectacular two-week installation of

the community’s artworks:

Magical Mangawhai Goes Bush!

Come into our gallery, paint and

create. Join Rosina and her team of

artists and share your work within your

community?

Families,

artists,

businesses - everybody!

All paints and materials provided. Just

come in your painting clothes and

enjoy a fun time for all. See you at the

Mangawhai

Artists

Gallery

for

Magical Mangawhai Goes Bush!

Watch mangawhaiartists.co.nz for

Join us for an afternoon with the

author,

Dr Adam Claasen, Senior

Lecturer

History,

Massey

University, who will speak

about

Fearless; the untold story of NZ's

Great War Airmen, including one of

Otamatea's own, William Henry

Coates.

Fearless, developed as part of the First

World

War

Centenary

History

Programme, is the first book ever to be

written on the contribution of New

Zealand’s airmen to military aviation

in WWI. Extremely well researched

and full of amazing photographs, Dr

Claasens’ book also tells personal

stories taken from letters and diaries of

individual men, including a local

airman from Matakohe. It is easy to

read without a lot of military

references, concentrating on the

fearless airmen of the title.

Fearless has been nominated for the

Ockham New Zealand Book Awards 2018.

Come and meet Dr Claasen, then join

us for light refreshments afterwards.

Cost: $5 per person. Books available

KDC LONG TERM PLAN: Submissions

Kaipara

District

Council

needs

residents’ feedback on proposals for its

Long Term Plan – this will then decide

what policies and developments will be

supported and prioritised for 2018 -

2028.

There are a number of key issues

including roading investment, sporting

facilities, pensioner housing and ﬂood

protection. Council is also seeking

thoughts on walking and cycling, high

speed internet, tourism promotion.

Reserves contributions, which is on

page 20 of the consultation document,

has become important to our area. See

page 9 Bugle No.3, from KDC

councillor Jonathan Larsen: ‘...

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. If you agree with this

approach, please make a submission in

support of the new policy. Subject to 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).’

Feedback and submissions can be

placed on any of the topics in the long

term

plan.

See

https://

kaipara.isoplan.co.nz/submissions/#/

The Long Term Plan, ‘A Bright

Future’, the consultation document can

be found at kaipara.govt.nz, or by 0800

submissions is 4.30pm on Thursday,

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’.

LIFE IS WHAT YOU

MAKE IT

The story’s told of a wise old

man. Every day he and his

granddaughter

would

sit

outside his petrol station in

rocking chairs, waiting to greet tourists

as they passed through their small town.

One day a tall man with the appearance

of a tourist started looking around like he

was checking out the area for a place to

live. ‘So what kind of town is this

anyway?’ he asked. The old man replied,

‘Well, what kind of town are you from?’

The man replied, ‘One where the people

are critical of each other. It's a real

negative place to live. ‘The old man said,

‘You know, that’s just how this town is

too.’

Later, a family passing through also

stopped for petrol. The father stepped out

and asked the old man, ‘Is this town a

good place to live?‘ ‘Well, what about

the town you're from?’ he replied. The

man said, ‘Where I'm from everyone’s

close, and always willing to lend a

helping hand. I really hate to leave it.’

The old man smiled and said, ‘You know

what, that's a lot like this town.’ After the

family drove off. The old man's

granddaughter looked up and asked,

‘Grandpa, how come you told the first

man this was a terrible place to live, and

when the second family asked, you told

them it was a wonderful place to live?’

The old man looked into her big blue

eyes and said, ‘Sweetheart, no matter

where you go, you take your attitude

with you - and that’s what makes it

terrible or wonderful.’

Yes, life is what you make it! Which is

why the Bible says, ‘For the happy heart,

life is a continual feast’~

Proverbs 15:15 NLT.

ANZAC DAY AT

MATAKOHE

The Paparoa RSA and The Kauri

Museum would like to invite you to

attend a combined civic service at the

Museum, with Fall In at the Matakohe

War Memorial Hall at 10.30am. Bill

Ponsonby, Treasurer of the Paparoa

RSA, will be presenting a special

citation for the late Max Wallis,

resident of Maungaturoto, WW2

Veteran and much valued volunteer of

The Kauri Museum. There will also be

a Museum display honouring his

service in the war, and those who knew

Max will be able to pay their respects.

An extract from Bill’s citation: ‘12

Days after joining the NZ Division in

Italy, Max was detailed to patrol and,

as he was the "Newbie", was obliged

to carry a crate of Piat Bombs. Equates

to about an extra 10kg in weight.

While on this patrol Max stood on an

"S Mine" otherwise known as a

"Bouncing

Betty"…’.

Book reviews

Recently I've read a

three-book

series

Orson

Scott

Card

Pathfinder, Ruins,

and Visitors. "Rigg is

well

trained

keeping secrets. Only his father knows

the truth about Rigg's strange talent for

seeing the paths of people's pasts. But

when his father dies, Rigg is stunned to

learn just how many secrets Father had

kept from him--secrets about Rigg's

own past, his identity, and his destiny.

And when Rigg discovers that he has

the power not only to see the past, but

also to change it, his future suddenly

becomes anything but certain. Rigg’s

birth right sets him on a path that

leaves him caught between two

factions, one that wants him crowned

and one that wants him dead. He will

be forced to question everything he

thinks he knows, choose who to trust,

and push the limits of his talent…or

forfeit control of his destiny." I enjoyed

this series a lot, and you'll find these

books on the Rental Fiction shelves

until 1 July, when they will shift to the

free shelves. We also have the Ender's

Game series by the same author.

ENERGY SAVINGS: LPG gas and European Solar Hot Water systems SHW.

It is clear that energy and water are the 2 most important resources we all need daily. Increasing energy prices and growing fuel poverty are

just the top of the iceberg in NZ. More than 80 % of buildings in NZ use electricity for cooking, hot water heating and space heating …in the

most in-efficient way. But the solution is very simple.

Cooking on gas and producing hot water on gas is much cheaper to run than with electricity. LPG gas is much cheaper to run for the same amount of

energy in kWhours and doesn’t produce standing losses like electrical cylinders. Installing an advanced Solar Hot Water (SHW) system, state-of-the-art,

is the proven way to save and extra 70% yearly on the hot water bill. Electric hot water represents normally 50% of the electricity bill.

EWATEC Ltd. created a group purchase with the aim to buy gas califonts and the best available SHW technology from Europe at strongly reduced

cost. We are passionate about solar energy and serious about helping the community to save energy. Local energy expert Eric Jansseune has selected

carefully the solar equipment, imported from Europe with worldwide certification and proven lifespan of 30 years.

LPG gas for cooking, hot water production and solar hot water is the most cost-effective way to run your home

Priorities for electricity savings

Solutions that will really reduce your energy bill:

Using LPG gas for hot water production and cooking.

Bottled LPG gas costs average 19 ct/kWh, electricity almost 31 ct/kWh. ( inclusif GST)

State of the art solar hot water can save 70 % on hot water bill.

In the case of a typical 4 persons house, the following savings can be realised compared to electrical use at 31 ct/kWh :

Instantaneous gas hot water and cooking is very efficient

Indeed, there are no high standing losses with LPG califont, compared to inefficient cylinders, and you will have as much hot water

as you like. The gas califont is connected to 2 bottles of 45 kg. each with a switch over system so comfort is guaranteed.

European state-of-the-art quality solar system

The European SHW package exists basically of 2 main components, an advanced flat plate collector and a plug-and-play solar

cylinder in stainless steel to maximize solar performance. The solar package always consists of solar controller, solar pump and

drain-back system to maximize the performance and increase lifespan to 30 years (proven in Europe).

PS: Back-up options are also electrical, wetback or gas instantaneous.
