Soup of the Day - Lilah Ferguson, Connor Goodall, Isaac
Nozer and Oskar Primbs (pictured left to right) of Rodney
College
performing
at
this
year’s
Northland
Smokefreerockquest final at Forum North on Friday nigh
t
22 June.
Lialh says, “We had lots of fun performing. I think for us
it wasn’t so much that we wanted to win but that the boys
and I got the chance to make music together.”
Soup of the Day won the ZM People’s Choice award.
Kamo High School’s A08 was the winning band and
second was
Rillet from Broadwood Area School and Te
Kura Taumata o Panguru.
Georgia, Rockquest Auckland publicist says Soup of the
Day was really great - one of her favourites on the night.
Smokefreerockquest, 30 years of musical success, is New
Zealand’s nationwide, live, original music, youth event
staging over 30 events and giving young musicians the
opportunity to perform live in a professional setting, in
venues from Whangarei to Invercargill.

ROCKQUEST TALENT: ‘SOUP OF THE DAY’
This year’s Matariki Day at The
Kauri Museum was an outstanding
success. For more than a month,
students at seven primary schools in
the old Otamatea area, had been
working on their art board as part of
the museum’s annual Matariki school exhibition. This
year’s theme is Ngā Ika o Otamatea, the fish of Otamatea,
and Kaiwaka School’s nominated species was the eel, or
tuna - insert in centre of display photo.
More than 100 students, along with staff and
parents, of those schools able to attend,
assembled at the museum on Friday 15 June
for the opening of the exhibition and to join
in other events also planned for the day. A
long blast on a pūkāea, or trumpet, got the
group’s attention before the karanga called
everyone into the Volunteers Hall. After
welcoming speeches, students formed an
eager audience to learn about taonga puoro
(Māori musical instruments) from their
maker and player, Bernard Makoare from
Kaihu. An impromptu music lesson on some
of the instruments ended the presentation.
Matua Bernard then opened the exhibition
with a karakia, in which he was helped by
the students, and then it was time for lunch.
Back in the Volunteers Hall, a kapa haka concert with items
from all four schools, was enjoyed by students, staff and
parents; not to mention a few visitors to the museum who
joined the audience!
Afternoon tea concluded the day at the museum and then it
was time to go back to school to catch a bus home.
The Kauri Museum would like to thank Kaiwaka School for
being part of Ngā Ika o Otamatea. Students have produced
some outstanding artwork for this exhibition. It will remain
on display until 29 July. Don’t forget to come and see it!

her husband of 40 years is having an affair
with her best friend, she seeks refuge in
London with her estranged, older sister Bif.
The two could not be more different - Sandra
is a fish out of water next to her outspoken,
serial dating, free-spirited sibling. But
different is just what Sandra needs at the
moment, and she reluctantly lets Bif drag her
along to a community dance class, where she
starts finding her feet.’

From all at OCS
I have changed my system for labelling homemade
freezer meals. I used to carefully note in large clear
letters, "Meatloaf" or "Pot Roast" or "Steak and
Vegetables or "Chicken and Dumplings" or "Beef Pot
Pie."
However, I used to get frustrated when I asked my
husband what he wanted for dinner because he
never asked for any of those things. So, I decided to
stock the freezer with what he really likes.
If you look in my freezer now, you'll see a whole new
set of labels. You'll find dinners with neat little tags
that say: "Whatever," "Anything," "I Don't Know," "I
Don't Care," "Something Good," or "Food."
My frustration is now reduced because no matter
what my husband replies when I ask him what he
wants for dinner, I know that it is there waiting.
KAIWAKA
WEATHER
May seems so far away
now. Due to circumstances
beyond my control I have been unable
to give you a report. So just to jog
your memories. It was a pretty
reasonable month with a little bit of
everything and not a lot of anything.
For May 2018 we had 96mm rain and
2017 we had 110mm.
Our wettest May since 1987 was 2001
with 281mm and the driest was 2007
with 21mm.
Our first 5months of 2018 we had
813mm and 2017 we had 835mm.
Our wettest first 5 months since 1987
was 2011 with 854mm and the driest
was 1999 with 108mm.
We had rain on 10days of the month
for 2018 and 9 days of rain for 2017.
Well that is me until the next Bugle
with June's weather report.
Take care, Bev.

From Thelma’s
Scrapbook …
The Woman in
the Queue
What is loneliness?
It is impossible to describe
in a word, but sometime ago I
witnessed it in an example. During a
bread shortage, long queues gathered in
the supermarket, and, as so often
happens, all were making the best of
the situation and the queue was cheery
and friendly.
Then a strange thing happened. The
assistant saw a white-haired pensioner
leave the queue just before she reached
the counter and slip away to join it at
the end again. Puzzled, the girl kept an
eye on her and to her surprise the same
thing happened again - as soon as the
old woman drew near the counter, she
turned away to the back of the queue.
Why on earth was she doing it?
You may have guessed that it was
because she was lonely. No one ever
dropped into her house for a chat. Her
family was far away, her neighbours
were young people who were out all
day. But in the queue, she found
warmth, friendship, a sense of
belonging and someone to speak to,
even though they were strangers.
That is loneliness. Please don’t let it
happen to anyone you know!

Old Apothecary Shop
A detailed and life-like painting by
Linda Hobbs has been turned into an
enormous print and an eye-catching,
and possibly distracting, mural for
drivers in Hamilton.
The Old Apothecary painting adorns a
previously large blank wall of Herbal
Shop and Clinic in Lorne Street
Hamilton. Mixing art and signage,
Linda says she wanted something
intriguing for drivers to look at while
sitting at the traffic lights and to draw
attention to her friend’s Herbal Shop.
The painting features the owner and
her husband business partner as
children on bikes and peeping out from
inside the shop is the owners’
Grandmother.
Linda lives in Te Arai and is a member
of Mangawhai Artists Inc.

BIRD SURVEY
The New Zealand Garden Bird
Survey for 2018 is running from 30
June till 3 July.
Landcare Research say, “Birds act
as 'backyard barometers' - telling
us about the health of the environment we live in”. Spend just one hour watching
birds in your garden and record the highest number of each species you see or
hear at one time to help monitor distribution and detect population trends in
garden birds. Check their website, landcareresearch.co.nz, or key in ‘garden
birds survey nz’ to find the Survey Sheet how to identify birds; plus there are
fun school activities for children (I love the brilliant bird masks) listed under
Resources for Schools.
WHAT ABOUT A FARMLAND BIRD SURVEY?
It has been noted that Oneriri Peninsula has an abundance of large birds grazing
the farmland (and fouling it too - no pun intended!). There have been a large
number of turkeys roaming from farm to farm as long as I can remember, but
now the peacocks, the paradise ducks and Canadian geese have joined them.
Thank you to Penny Paikea who took this photo last week of a flock of Canadian
geese just on the north side of Kaitara Bridge. There about 50 in this photo and
another 50 in the creek below them.

Walking Netball
What is Walking Netball? It’s basically
netball, but at a walking pace with
rules on footwork and possession
differing slightly to the regular game.
The game has been designed so that
anyone can play it regardless of age or
fitness level. So, whether you’ve had to
put your netball career on hold due to
injury, or you thought you’d hung up
your netball shoes a long time ago,
walking netball is a fantastic way to
introduce yourself back into the sport.
I’m putting on a ‘Have A Go’ day in
the KSA gymnasium, this Sunday 1st
July at 2pm.
Bring some friends!
Netball - Junior
19 Kaiwaka girls play in our Junior
Netball Club. The club is split into 3
teams, Kaiwaka 1, Kaiwaka Unicorns
and Kaiwaka Dolphins. The teams train
at our courts and then play on Saturday
mornings at Wellsford.
All the girls love the game and play
with pride representing the Kaiwaka
community. Well done girls!
Netball - Intermediate
The season has started well with all the
teams doing well in their grade, Junior
1 and Senior 2 are both undefeated so
far this season. Our club is lucky to
have some amazing umpires with the
four students Devine, Jemma, Anthony
and Maddy improving each week. The
season finishes in August and we hope
these results continue.
Netball - Senior
After a good turnout at trials, our
Otamatea-Ex Netball Club have three
senior teams this season. Teams 1 and
2 have been graded into Premier/A
grade for seven weeks then will be split
into Premier and A grades to play for
three weeks then finals. Team 3 have
been graded in B grade and will have
ten weeks of competition before finals.
So far, all teams have been training and
playing well with good results.
Otamatea-Ex 1 are unbeaten this
season and are hoping to continue this
way.
Gymnasium Hire
Did you know that our gymnasium is
available for hire?
If you’ve got a family get-together
coming up, you might like to have a
fun, energetic afternoon together.
If you wanted to play a structured
sport, the gymnasium is marked for
basketball, netball, turbo touch and
badminton - or you could just let the
young ones run around!
Email me to make a booking.
KSA Meeting
There will be a Sports Association
meeting on Wednesday 4th July at
7pm, in the Sports Complex. All
welcome.

During the month we have had a mix
of “planned” speakers as well as
several who have stepped up on the
night. All of these have shown the
unique nature of our community.
District (9910)
We were recently visited by 26
Rotarians who, as part our District
(9910) attend Rotary clubs to the south
of us. This was a great evening to
interact with Clubs of varying sizes
and to learn about the projects, they
have undertaken in the past year. It is
obvious that each Club becomes aware
of specific needs within their
community and works out the best way
to address them. What they were doing
has certainly given us further ideas for
coming years.
Driver Mentoring
You will possibly have noticed our
Driver Mentoring car because it now
has been sign written with our
sponsors’ names. This sponsorship has
meant that the cost of the car has been
covered which is great. We have had
one success story so far and there are a
growing number of people being
mentored. If you are interested in
accessing the scheme, please get in
touch with Te Roroa (who are doing
the bookwork) 0800 555635, to check
your eligibility.
Rotary Youth Leadership
John Kenworthy-Thompson has come
back
from
the
Rotary
Youth
Leadership Course (RLI) full of
enthusiasm for the week. As have all
previous attendees, John found the
focus of the course really good and the
ability to discuss and problem solve
with 40 other positively motivated
young people was quite inspirational.
The Den Auction
We supported Albie and The Den with
his auction for the Dementia unit and
while the inclement weather did put
people off many customers went away
with bargains and our club has been
able to contribute their share ($2,500)
towards the Unit. Thank you
to all who contributed to the
day.
Kaiwaka Movie
Keep an eye for another fundraiser – a
movie at Kaiwaka “Pecking Order”. At
the time of going to press we are co-
ordinating with Hakaru Scouts as to
the best Friday night we can use so
look out for advertising.
Rotary Club Speech Contest
Last week we saw a representative
from Otamatea High School take part
in the Whangarei Rotary Club Speech
contest. While Maddy Lemuelu,
pictured below, did not win, her speech
was very thought-provoking. Two of
her quotes were: “the best stories are
pages in your passport” and “alone we
can do so little, together we can do so
much” – something we have all learnt
when completing projects within this
community. We wish Maddy all the
best on her forth-coming student
exchange to Spain.

In
the
Warkworth
Museum there are tools
and equipment belonging
to the time of the giant
Kauri which grew in
profusion along the sides
of the Kaipara Harbour
and elsewhere. As a
young man I met a
gentleman who worked in
this industry for many
years. His name was Alf
Mabbet, Alf taught me
crafts that are no longer in
practise today. More than
that, he was a bullock
master; I borrowed some
of Alf’s story for one of my books,
which reads like this.
‘He was a big man and he clasped
Alex’s hand as he dismounted, plum
near crushing it as he pumped it in
enthusiasm. He then pushed the horse
aside as if he were plumping a pillow
down. Alex made a mental note to
never upset the man. Alf had three
daughters and a great dane. Alex had
not noticed the field outside which was
full of bulls, thus a mild shock hit him,
as he saw the heads along the fence
line. “Is everything big around here?”
he thought to himself. “What’s in the
food they eat?” As the two men sat
over a fresh pot of Billy tea, Alex
noticed one of the daughters, go up to
the huge beasts in the paddock and
tousle one’s forelock. He was shocked
and feared for the girl who was too
small to play with such an animal. Alf
saw the concern on his face and told
him not to mind, “the children have
grown up with them” he said. The
bullocks were used to pull the kauri
logs down to the forestry rail head or a
wagon which took them to the mill.
Alf was very proud of his bullock
team; he said they could go anywhere,
uphill, and down pulling really heavy
loads. A day or so later at four in the
dim light of a coming morning, Alex
came to offer a hand, he felt
completely useless as the little girls
rushed around him with buckles and
shackles prodding the big lumpy
bullock into line as the chain came
through to join them up. Before long, it
was done, and Alex had only just
finished one shackle, never the less he
trudged off with Alf and one of the
girls who was dressed in rough
dungarees and boots. The team with a
crack of a whip headed up to the tree
line, they let the animals tow them as at
the last-minute Alf had tied a farm sled
to the traces.
From time to time it was an effort to
stay on the sled as the ground was very
rutted. Two hours had passed and they
were at the felling line. The men had
already begun and were trimming up a
trunk of immense size with a girth of
about twenty-five feet. Someone had
driven pins into it and Alf wrapped a
chain around the log attaching the end
to a pin. As the bullock pulled the log
rolled over. The bullock team of eight
pulled the log to the rail head. Then
using log jacks men straightened the
log and chocked it ready for loading
onto the kauri train. Often one of Alf’s
daughters would lead the head bullock
for her father, and as age crept up on
Alf he wondered what he would do
with the team. The bullocks were able
to cover almost any terrain, unlike the
new machine called a caterpillar which
he had heard was used in America.
The problem was with bullock, a
person had to raise and keep them, and
it took much time early in the day to
harness the animals lift the yokes on,
and then free them at the end of a day.
One point in favour of the bullock was
that when on the job they foraged and
fed themselves. Alf having no sons
eventually took his daughters and team
to Agricultural shows
to show the skills to city folk.’
