MESSAGE FROM OUR LOCAL CALTEX

SERVICE STATION

KAIWAKA GOOD

SORT

A beautiful bouquet of flowers from

Lindy for Jean McLeish!

Jean McLeish will help with rugby

without a question, notably with the

Junior Hawks home rally days; she is a

member of many committees -

especially the Pt.Curtis Cruising Club

and is your friendly local shopkeeper at

Jaques Four Square. Thank you, Jean!

Over the last week, one topic that has generated much

conversation has been the introduction of the Fuel

Tax of 10c + GST levied by the Auckland Council on

fuel sold within its boundary.

This tax has caused some changes in peoples’

fuelling routines, especially those living around the

fringes of the Auckland region.

It has also had an effect on gas stations on either side

of the boundary.

The Caltex in Kaiwaka is the first station that lies

outside this tax boundary on SH1 and has been

retailing fuel all week at 11.5c below the Auckland

sites.

The station which has relied on ongoing support from the local community for

years has now become the station of choice for people even outside town.

Site Manager Manpreet has been in charge of this business since the station

changed ownership around this time last year. She confirms that there has been

an increase in fuel sales over the last week and she and her staff have been busier

than usual but does point out that these are still early days.

She would like to remind customers that the Recommended Retail Price (RRP) is

governed by the Fuel suppliers taking into account lots of contributing factors

and therefore is not a simple case of the retailer setting its own prices.

Any changes decided upon by the suppliers do get passed on to the retailers and

will reflect on the price.

Raman, the Assistant Manager, thinks that this increase could be a temporary

phase that is associated with any change of this magnitude and believes the

market will adjust to accommodate these changes.

The Management here would like to take the opportunity to thank the staff and

the local community for their support and believes this support will continue into

the future.

From Thelma’s

Scrapbook …

‘House Mates

I have a little lodger, though

she doesn't pay me rent -

She’s settled very well, though, and

she seem to be content.

I find her on my pillow; on my

worktop or my shelf

Or in the comfy chair where I’d like to

sit myself.

She comes and goes without a word,

and though we get on well, I must

admit she treats the place just like a

posh hotel!

She stalks around the kitchen, tail

raised, cool and dignified,

She often turns her nose up at the food

that I provide.

She scratches at my table - toys and

scratch posts are rejected,

Yet if I should remind her there are

rules to be respected,

She slowly turns and makes me laugh

with that distinctive stare

That tells me it is her house, and she

deigns to let me share!’

Emma Canning.

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

YAY! We have gone passed

the shortest day and the sun

is travelling south quite rapidly now

thank goodness.

Ooh yes June was wet with a few

storms - a bit of wild wind and

thunderstorms also a few frosts. There

were a few well below 0deg with the

nights and mornings making it hard to

get out of bed and the work force

trying to get the fingers and brain into

gear. That last lightning and

thunderstorm shook a few people with

it being right overhead. Gee the

ground is wet, and it is great to see the

sun shining up and warming up. I think

there would be a few rainfalls read at

different places higher than ours.

Well, at our house for June 2018 we

had 318mm and 2017 we had 238mm.

Our wettest June since 1987 was 2018

with 318mm and the driest June was

2012 52mm.

The first 6 months of 2018 we had

1131mm and 2017 we had 1073mm.

Our wettest 6 months since 1987 was

2018 with 1131 and the driest was

1987 with 300mm.

We had rain on 11 days of June this

year and rain on 12 days for 2017.

Always remember this: ‘You don't stop

laughing because you grow old, you

grow old because you stop laughing’.

Remember summer is coming now so

chin up and keep warm until then.

~ Bev.

President Alex Tetzner welcomed all to

the

‘Changeover’

evening,

but

especially incoming Assistant District

Governor, Peter Johns from Mt Roskill,

Beth Dalebrook, and two special guests

from Kaiwaka, Cheryl Anderson and

Derek Christiansen. Peter played a

trumpet

voluntary

welcome

incoming President Keith and partner

Els to the table.

Presentations

Albie Paton gave Don McKay a cheque

for $20,000 from the Den (this brings

The Den’s contribution to the

Dementia unit to more than $40,000. In

accepting this money Don made the

comment that an aging population

required higher levels of care and a

number of locals had to be sent for care

outside the community. The plan is to

keep as many of these people close to a

familiar environment and family. He

thanked Albie for his enthusiasm and

the tremendous fundraising efforts he

has been involved in. President Alex

then spoke of the Club’s donation of

$2,500, which were proceeds of the

auction run in conjunction with Albie.

Paul Harris Fellow presentations

Firstly, Incoming ADG Peter presented

the awards but not before explaining

the significance of the Paul Harris

Fellow award to Cheryl, Kaiwaka

Sports Assn and Derek for Kaiwaka

Can. Both recipients told why

they became part of their

organisations, three projects

they were proud to have been involved

with and one challenge each had faced.

As they answered these questions, all

present knew why they had been

chosen to be awarded the Paul Harris

Fellow pin.

Then Peter made the PHF presentation

to Rose Plunkett QSM from Paparoa.

This deserving lady’s resume included

involvement with a variety of activities

but paramount amongst them is the

compassion she has had over many

years for the disadvantaged families in

the community and the work that she

undertakes to support them.

Changing of the Presidential Guard

President Alex (and Lyn) to President

Keith (and Els) - the Presidential chain

was passed on as was the brooch which

is traditionally given to the partner of

the President.

What is a Paul Harris Fellow? Paul Harris

was the founder of Rotary in 1928. The

Award was created in 1957and the

Foundation is contributed to by Rotary

clubs throughout the world. In New

Zealand this award is given to a Rotarian

or person from the community who is seen

to have contributed a great deal to the

organisation,

community

often

combination of both.

with Otamatea Ward Councillor

Jonathan Larsen.

The new roading maintenance contract

came into effect on 1 July 2018. The

contract has an at-risk monthly

payment to incentivise the contractor to

meet the required standards. I had a

good meeting with the “Mayor of

Kaiwaka” Mark Ottaway recently

about fixing some issues around

Kaiwaka’s streets and footpaths. These

issues included the broken footpath

beside Kate’s Place - see photo below,

cesspit debris left on the berm and

metal washed out onto Kaiwaka-

Mangawhai Road, bad potholing at the

Gibbons Rd entrance to Jaques’

Supermarket, messy crossing leading

into Café Eutopia, and overgrown

planting on the corner of Oneriri Rd. I

passed these issues on to Council’s

customer service team and got very

prompt responses from the contractor

re investigating and remedying these

issues. I’ll keep a check on progress,

but it seems that the new system is

working. If you have any issues with

roads or other Council customer

service issues, you can email them to

council@kaipara.govt.nz or phone

0800 100 388. If you don’t get a

satisfactory response let me know and

I’ll follow up.

Long Term Plan

After months of workshops, hearings

and deliberation, the Long Term Plan

2018-2028 (LTP) was finally adopted

at the June Council meeting. This is the

Council’s ten-year budget which is

reviewed every three years. The LTP

has set average rates increases of

4.97% for 2018/19, 5.26% for 2019/20

and 4.83 % for 2020/2021. Now that

the LTP has been adopted by majority

vote of Council I am required to

support

this

decision

and

implementation of the plan. I have

however been asked recently why I

moved to amend the plan and

ultimately voted against it, and think I

have a duty to explain. The main

reasons are –

1. I think the proposed approximately

average

rates

increase,

compounding each year for the next

three years, is excessive. The local

government cost index (LGCI), our

best measure of the inflated cost of

running Council, is forecast at around

2% for the next three years. I saw

increased spending on staff and

consultants, but no internal efficiencies

and no increases in levels of service to

ratepayers. Therefore, I found the 3%

margin between the LGCI and the rates

increase hard to justify.

2. The 5% increase is an average, and

for some, including revaluation, the

increase this year will be up to 34%. I

thought this was an unreasonable and

unnecessary burden especially in times

of relatively low inflation.

3. Council proposes spending $7.32

million on reviewing the

district plan. I don’t

think this is prudent and

certainly not without a

comprehensive business

case to support it.

Planning for growth is

important – but each $200k represents

about one percent of rates, so that’s a

pretty expensive book review! With

such a large budget, I am concerned

that this will become a feeding frenzy

with

consultants

and

planners

capturing the process and wasting

ratepayers’ money. This happened

when the cost of the last review blew

out to about $5 million. I think we need

to learn from our history and not repeat

Council’s spendthrift mistakes of the

past.

4. The implementation of the

Mangawhai Community Plan (MCP)

was consulted on to be 80% funded by

a targeted rate on “Mangawhai”

properties. However, the LTP is now

imposing the 80% rate on an area that

extends as far west as Baldrock Rd

towards Kaiwaka. This area could not

reasonably be considered to be

Mangawhai, and I was not satisfied

with the legal opinions provided to

support this approach. Furthermore, the

rate is now being funded via a

differential on the general rate and not

via a targeted rate. This was also not

consulted on and means that the MCP

rate is hidden in the general rate -

ratepayers therefore can’t easily see

how much they are actually paying

towards the MCP.

KAIWAKA SPORTS SOCIATION

Illuminate 2019 -

Community Meeting

August 10th

The Venture Organising team will be

presenting an outline for ‘Illuminate

2019’ - the 14th New Zealand Venture

which will run from December 31st

until January 11th . This Scouts New

Zealand event for teenagers will be

held at our grounds and the school

grounds and will see over 1,000

participants camping here. As well as a

lot of activity on the site, there will be a

number of vehicle movements and

many local facilities and services

involved. Cory Lang, Venture Director

says, “we want to take the opportunity

to engage with the local community,

fully inform them and share this

exciting event with them. We’ve had a

tremendous response from those we

have had contact with so far and want

to make sure everyone feels informed

about what we will be doing on those

12 days and how we intend to manage

things”.

The Community Meeting will be held

on Friday 10th August at 7pm at the

Sports Complex. All welcome.

Thank you Marilyn

Marilyn Wright has been the KSA

Treasurer for two years and is stepping

down. At the KSA meeting last week

Marilyn was presented with a bouquet

of flowers in appreciation of all the

time and effort she has put into the

Sports Association. Marilyn has been a

very capable, efficient member of our

group, so we will miss her! All the best

Marilyn.

Walking Group

Kaiwaka’s

physiotherapist

Amy

Griffith has started a Walking Group,

which is based around our new Fitness

Trail at the Sports Complex. It is held

every Tuesday at 8:30am and at 4pm.

Suitable for all levels: walking sticks,

baby buggies. Stride out or just get one

foot past the other. Meet at the helipad.

All welcome. No cost.

Taniwha Shield Tournament

Northland’ prestigious Primary Schools

Rugby Tournament, the Taniwha

Shield, is being held this week in

Hokianga. All the best to our local

team, the Rodney/Otamatea Rhinos.

Rugby – Senior Hawks

Our Otamatea Hawks will play their

promotion/relegation match at our

grounds on Saturday 21st July at

2.15pm. Their opposition will be the

winners of Division 2 (yet to be

confirmed). Mark it in your diary – the

boys would appreciate lots of

hometown support!

Rugby – Junior Hawks

Congratulations to the Junior Hawks

who were selected to play in the

Taniwha Shield tournament. All the

best for the Under 15s team playing in

Moerewa next week. And a big thank

you to all those parents and supporters

who turn up to the Junior Hawks

matches to cheer on the boys – your

positive support is appreciated.

Rugby - JMB

Our junior rugby club will celebrate the

end of their season with a prizegiving

on Thursday 2nd August at the KSA at

6.30pm. All welcome.

Applaud

The Kaiwaka Sports Association is

now a member of Applaud; a New

Zealand Rugby initiative to encourage

supporters to be good sports and to

stamp

out

anti-social

side-line

behaviour. We want to continue to

have positive attitudes at matches held

at the Sports Complex, and we expect

all visitors to the KSA to support this.

Missing from our kitchen

Has anyone got some of our bain maire

containers at home? We should have

seven but we have only got four.

Gymnasium Hire

Did you know that our gymnasium is

available for hire? If you have 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.

Mark

And many thanks to Mark Ottaway

who has spent countless hours in the

gymnasium redoing the floor – we

appreciate Mark’s dedication to the

KSA.

Walking Netball

Keen to try your hand at Walking

Netball? Our “Have A Go” day last

week was great fun, so I have decided

to put on a few more. Every Sunday in

July I will run a fun session - just turn

up to our gymnasium at 2pm - no need

to register, just rock on up.

No need to worry about the weather -

we will be inside the gymnasium, so

we will be nice and dry.

Upcoming events

We may be in the middle of winter, but

summer will roll around fast enough,

so if you are looking for a reason to get

into shape for the warmer months, you

could start training for one of our major

summer sporting events:

❖

our annual Top of the Rock multi-

sport event will be held on Sunday 10th

February and features options for

running, cycling or walking.

❖

our

annual

Otamatea

tennis

tournament is held over Anniversary

Weekend in January and players can

enter in the doubles, combines or

singles.

❖

the Whanaunga Touch Tournament

will be held at our grounds on Saturday

19th January.

❖

the Kaiwaka Touch Module will be

held over the summer months. Start

date to be confirmed.

❖

and, although this is not a sporting

event, it is one of our most popular

annual events – yes, it’s Fright Night!

Mark it in your diary, Saturday 27th

October.

Sports Complex? Or on our affiliated

This very clever Broadway Musical

intertwines the plots of several

Brothers

Grimm

and

Charles

Perraultfairy tales, exploring the

consequences of the characters’ wishes

and quests.

The main characters are taken from

‘Little Red Riding Hood’, ‘Jack and

the

Beanstalk’,

‘Rapunzel’

and

‘Cinderella’, as well as several others.

The musical is tied together by a story

involving a childless baker and his

wife and their quest to begin a family

and their interaction with a witch who

has placed the curse on them.

The musical premiered on Broadway

in 1987, and it won several Tony

Awards,

including

Outstanding

Musical, in a year dominated by Lloyd

Webber’s ‘The Phantom of the Opera’.

We will be using a’ cutting-edge

orchestral suite’, the latest in

interactive-musical technology, for the

musical accompaniment.

We have an excellent cast with many

young, talented performers. Our

theatre enjoys air-conditioning and

upholstered seats. We have EFTPOS

available for your convenience.

The season runs for a total of eight

shows with the final show on Sunday

29 July @ 2pm. Tickets available

online at www.ort.org.nz or at Tony’s

Lotto Shop in Maungaturoto. Adults

$28 and school students $15

Nat Curnow

Nat enjoys playing the ‘bad guy’, as he

feels they are often just misunderstood

or a product of circumstance. This is

Nat’s eighth consecutive year, playing

(mostly) the bad guy, with this ORT –

“a miraculous little theatre company.”

Tyga Daniero

Tyga lives in Kaiwaka and attends the

Otamatea Christian School. Last year

she played the lead role of Prince

Verdi in pantomime, ‘The Frog

Prince’. She loves playing the role of

Little Red Riding Hood, as “some of

the things she does are funny, and I

enjoy the humour in her lines.”

ROSEHIP SEED OIL

As a skin therapist, I use

Rosehip Seed Oil in my

treatments and prescription all

the time, yet I had no idea where

it came from or what it looked

like in its raw form, until

recently on a trip to Wanaka…

We were driving from Wanaka to Dunedin and decided to

pull over to take photos of all the reds and golds on the hill

side, and when I stepped back for a better shot, I stepped

into this thorny bush and let out a swear word just when

my husband said “careful of the rosehip bush”. I stopped in

my tracks and said “what makes you think that’s a rosehip

bush?” I was a bit confused because rosehip conjures up

images of a pale liquid, rich in omega-3 and omega-6

which I use in my skin treatments.

To me rosehip is a beautiful oil in a bottle, not a thorny

bush with little red berries on the hillside in Central Otago.

I got talking to some locals and apparently the Chinese

gold miners brought the rosehip plants to NZ and used the

rose hips in their teas during the winters to ward off colds

and flus because the rose hips are also rich in antioxidants

including Vitamin C, flavonoids, polyphenols and

carotenoids.

If you go to Central Otago in April, you will see the

hillsides covered in rosehip bushes with their pretty red

berries. I picked a handful and boiled them in green tea, it

had a nice clean but rather bitter taste.

The oil used in skincare is extracted from the tiny seeds of

the rose hips. It contains high concentrations of essential

fatty acids which is needed for cellular membrane and skin

regeneration and it is the only oil that contains trans-

retinoic acid, the precursor of Vitamin A. I use a pure form

of rosehip seed oil to treat photo damaged skin, lipid dry

skin and skin with diffused redness.

I’m not sure if the rosehip bushes in Central Otago are the

exact species used to manufacture the oil used in skincare

but I was so happy I got to see, touch, feel and taste rose

hips. ~

Nina Quan, Skin and Beauty Therapist

GETTING THERE PIECE BY

PIECE

Updating the work of Kaiwaka Can

This past month has been a quieter one for Kaiwaka Can.

But little by little, we are getting through the many projects

that are in the Township Improvement Plan and also other

projects that aim to make Kaiwaka a better place to live.

Playground fence

At long last, the playground fence seems to be about to

happen. We have had delays for all sorts of reasons but are

ready now to start painting the posts and palings and get the

corner posts in the ground. If anyone would like to be part

of a working bee to help, especially with painting, get in

touch with me at the number below.

Tree planting

Planting took place on Friday along the western side of the

highway, from the old post office (Leabourn’s Bus Depot)

area down to Oneriri Road. This matches the planting of

trees on the other side above the hotel. When these trees are

grown, it will give a far softer look to Kaiwaka for people

travelling through.

You will have noticed the changes in the carpark outside

Mormors. This is to brings exiting cars round at right angles

to the Highway, making this very dangerous exit safer.

Sadly, it has cost another of our precious carpark spaces but

we are looking at other options to increase the number of

places to park.

We have been working to get action on the Oneriri Road

intersection, notorious for its difficulty and the traffic

tangles caused. Unfortunately, we are not getting very far

because there don’t seem to have been enough serious

injuries! I thought the thinking behind traffic planning was

to prevent accidents happening, not just form a memorial to

ones that have already happened!

Pest plants

Northern Regional Council is getting really involved in pest

plant eradication. A small group in Kaiwaka Can has the

same aim and anyone who would like to be part of such a

group should get in touch.

We are working with Jenny Rooney, our new Council

representative, to plan ahead on the Township Improvement

Plan but we are also looking at the wider picture of

Kaiwaka development so that we can meet changing needs

in a timely fashion. You will all be aware of the growth

taking place in and around Kaiwaka. The school enrolments

are just one indication of how many new people are in

town.

We are looking at incorporation as a society, so that we will

be able to access a wider range of funds from various

sources. So far over three and a half years we have operated

on a nil budget with no expenses.

Almost all of our projects have been funded out of various

Council budgets for which we are most grateful. But we

have more to do than their budgets will stretch to.

Monthly meetings - 5.30pm on third Wednesday

Our monthly meetings have been changed from Monday

evening to Wednesday evening, third Wednesday each

month at 5.30pm, open to everyone. We have lost our

secretary, Ian Leighton, who has done a great job for us

over the past two years. We will miss his faithful service

and rapid production of minutes each month. Look forward

to seeing other newcomers over the next few months. We

plan a community consultation along with Council probably

in October when everyone can have their say on what has

happened and what needs to happen.

ILLUMINATE KAIWAKA

Illuminate 2019 is coming to Kaiwaka

And the organisers are coming to meet you! In five months time we plan on tripling Kaiwaka’s population.

We’d like to tell you a little about this event and share our plans with you. We are keen to hear the thoughts

and ideas of the community. All welcome. 7pm, 10 August, Kaiwaka Sports Complex.

TELL YOUR STORY: “MELTON CLARK”

There was a bush

camp at the Tara, a

property not very far

from

Mangawhai

which

was

subsequently farmed

by the Wintle family.

The old Rev.Wm.

Gittos a Wesleyan

itinerant

preacher

while passing through

Kaiwaka heard that

during a booze-up one

of the chaps had

collected a crack on

the nut with an axe

and was reported to be

in a pretty bad way, so

as he had sufficient

medical knowledge to

get by he rode down to

the Tara. He related

that the camp was in a

state of drunken stupor

except the victim who

was unconscious and

his wound, which was

a nasty one, was fly blown. So, the old

Rev dragged the men one at a time

down to the creek and soused them

until they were sufficiently sober to

construct a stretcher out of sacks and a

couple of saplings. Then came the long

carry, in relays, across country to the

Mangawhai Pub where the grog had

come from. The publican was called

outside and told, “Take a look at your

handiwork!” “You will take this poor

fellow in, you will nurse him, and you

will feed him, and you will not charge

him a penny piece, and if he should

die, I will swear an information against

you for being an accessory to a murder

charge.”

On hearing the tale from the Rev,

Melton

Clark

announced

“You

couldn’t make a charge like that stick”.

The Rev replied with a huge smile on

his old weather-beaten dial, “You are

quite right, but the ignorant publican

didn’t know I was bluffing, did he?”

Incidentally the bushman, due to not

having a great deal of matter inside the

skull which could be injured, even by

an axe, recovered. One curious custom

in the early days, was the building of a

bach on another person’s land with

apparently no certainty of tenure, no

right of removal or chance of

compensation should the owner of the

land or his successor in title say, “Get

Out!”

One such builder was a Scandinavian

Swede called Johnson who had

deserted from a whaler and since lived

among the Maori for many years

before finally settling. As far as known,

he had no income except for a few bob

he picked up from time to time doing a

job for one of the settlers or selling

some fish. He was in the habit of

blowing into Ivon’s place at meal times

where he was always assured of a good

feed. He was an old bloke completely

devoid of humour, a ‘liar de’luxe’.

Ivon was discussing sporting dogs with

his mate one evening, old Johnson sat

in the corner of the kitchen saying

nothing. Finally, he broke in “Vell dey

ver pretty good dogs but not good as

my vun. I vas out in de Towai an I miss

my dog. Vell I tink he will come ‘ome

ven he is good an ready, but he no

come! Nex year I vos in the Towai

again an vot you tink I see? Dere in a

hollow rush vas the skeleton of a

pheasant, and der still pointing at him,

vas the skeleton of my dog. Now vould

you believe dat?” On another occasion

I was explaining the merit of a point

two two gun, Johnson broke in with

“Vell, I had a smoodbore rifle vunce”.

Melton corrected him, saying that a

rifle could not be a smooth bore,

explaining why. “She ver a smood-bore

rifle”, he persisted, so left to box on.

“Vell I vas out an I see a pigeon on a

tree. I fire an down he fall. I pick him

up an valk a little bit fuder and dere vos

anudder vun. An would you believe it

or not, ven I valk still fuder der lay de

turd.” He was told firmly that they

believed the very last couple of words

in his story.
