A Poppy Places Trust road sign is now at Marshall Road - an excellent
example for such a signpost. F/Sgt Keith Marshall RNZAF grew up on the
farm Marshall Road now travels through. The Apple Basket was his home!
New Zealand Herald,1 October 1943,Page 1 Roll Of Honour …
‘MARSHALL, Keith Reynold, Flight-Sergeant, R.N.Z.A.F., death officially
presumed on the morning of February 20, 1943; elder son of the late Hugh
and Elizabeth Rosalind Marshall, of Kaiwaka; dearly-loved brother of Ian.’
He died 19 February 1943 when fourteen aircraft from 295 Squadron were
tasked with a raid on three electricity transformers at Distre, near Saumur
(north-west France). Two aircraft were brought down by anti-aircraft fire.
Keith was one of the crew who died on this mission and is buried in Saumur
Communal Cemetery.
Keith’s brother, known as Jock, lived in the family home until 1978, when he
died aged 68. John Keighley then purchased the Marshall farm and later
began the subdivision.

Kaiwaka Bugle - 24 July 2018
Page 7
During the past month we have had the
changing of Presidents. Each person
holds this position for one year and
each President puts their own mark on
the year. This event is always a special
celebration which is attended by a
number of past Rotarians and guests.
Past President Alex
spoke
of
the
achievements
within his year, the
most notable of
which
was
the
introduction of the
Driver Mentoring
scheme.
Our President this
year is Keith Shadbolt, pictured above
and while he will have some new
initiatives we will continue to promote
Driver Mentoring and the sale of Calf
Litter as well as continuing work on
the community projects that are
ongoing like Nikau Grove and Piroa
Falls.
We are planning a visit to the Packard
Car museum at Maungatapere as well
as having more combined meetings
with Paparoa Lions and Rotary clubs
that are also part of our District.
We are grateful for the ongoing
support of the Otamatea High School
Duke of Edinburgh students, Hockey
and Netball groups who are able to use
the provision of meals at our weekly
meetings as a fundraiser. This means
we are not only supporting these
groups on a rostered basis but also
enjoy delicious meals.
We continue to have some great
speakers and a notable one recently
was Pam Chapman who had been a
caterer for Rotary for about 18 years
but relinquished this when she started
an Early Childhood centre in
Dargaville. Her talk to us related to an
inspirational
person,
Nadine
Champion, who had spoken at an Early
Childhood conference. If you get a
chance to read Nadine’s book “10
Seconds of Courage”, we are sure you
will be moved as much as we were.
Thank you, Pam, not only for your
contribution to
Rotary but also
to
this
community.

DAFFODIL DAY
Friday 31
st
August 2018
Sharing hope for the 1 in 3
Kiwis affected by Cancer
Please keep the Cancer Society and
Daffodil Day in mind for your mid-late
August planning. Daffodil Day is New
Zealand’s largest street appeal. Its goal is
to unite New Zealanders to help beat
cancer and, by raising much needed
funds, ensure the Cancer Society can
continue to support vital cancer research
and provide practical help, care and
comfort through out the country.
This is the Cancer Society’s biggest
communication event in 2018, and we
thank you in advance for your help in
spreading hope for the 1 in 3 kiwis
affected by cancer, their whānau and
friends.
“Across New Zealand the Cancer
Society is out every day of the year
helping people who are affected by all
types of cancer,” says Mike Kernaghan,
the Cancer Society of New Zealand
CEO.
“We offer practical and emotional
support to people when they are at their
most vulnerable. Behind laboratory
doors our researchers are working on
new drugs and treatments. And our
teams across the country are working
tirelessly with communities to raise
awareness and help prevent future
cancers. We can only do all this, and
more, thanks to the money collected on
Daffodil Day – every dollar
collected
by
our
12,000
volunteers is used to help New
Zealand and New Zealanders
beat cancer.”

Principal’s Comment
Term Two was another action-packed
term with lots of exciting opportunities
that the students were involved in.
Otamatea again represented well in
sporting activities, winning the South
Zone Girls’ Football for the first time
and narrowly missing out in penalties
against Bream Bay for the north/south
play off. For the second consecutive
year we won the Senior Floorball
competition. Cross country continues
to be extremely strong with a number
of placings in both the Lower North
and Northland competitions. The
poetry cafes hosted by the year 7 and 8
syndicate
were
great
events
showcasing the poetic talents of our
younger students. The audience were
sent on a rollercoaster of emotions as
students recited their poems ranging
from spring and summer to loneliness,
death and depression! Parents and
caregivers viewed the vibrant wall
displays and enjoyed hearing about the
learning of their children and of course
enjoyed the nibbles provided. Some of
the young leaders in the syndicate also
attended an inspiring day in Auckland
at the National Young Leaders’ Day.
Olla Podriga was another spectacular
event and once again the hall was
packed out full of students, family and
community members. The quality was
outstanding, and it was great to see so
many younger students find the
confidence to give it a go. As always,
the audience got behind everyone.
The Matariki Festival hosted at
Rodney College showcased our kapa
haka students, as well as those from
other local schools. The whakairo stall
was very popular with some of the
whakairo students and ex-students
demonstrating their work, as well as
allowing people of all ages to have a
go. Many of our students also won
prizes in the art competition. Finally,
some of the adult students of the
evening Te Reo Māori class, along
with the Kaiwaka Te Reo Māori class,
performed some waiata on the stage.
All in all, it was a fantastic event,
assisted by beautiful weather.
The annual senior school ball was an
awesome event, organised by some
senior
students
and
Mrs
Christie. The Maungaturoto Centennial
Hall was decorated as a 50’s diner,
complete with jukebox. Year 10
students dressed accordingly as waiters
and waitresses and the senior students
looked amazing in their suits and
dresses. Thank you to all those
community members who assisted with
making such a wonderful evening from
the Otamatea Netball Club who
provided excellent diner food such as
milkshakes, burgers, curly fries and
doughnuts. The parents who provided
excellent security on the very cold
evening and Terri Donaldson for her
assistance with the hall preparations
and providing numerous costumes for
those attending. Thanks also go to Mrs
Christie and the ball committee for the
many hours of organisation and
preparation.
Coming up early in term three (12th –
14th August) is the Reporoa
Exchange. This year we will be
hosting this competition, which is the
longest senior sporting competition in
the country, now in its 53rd year. We
have won this for the past two years
and once again will be looking to retain
the shield.
On Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th
August we will be holding Open
Days at the school. Local school
children are invited to come along with
their parents and caregivers. These
days provide an excellent opportunity
to see what the school has to offer.

Kaiwaka Can had a very productive
meeting last Wednesday with the
welcome attendance of Jonathan
Larsen our local Councillor and Jenny
Rooney, our council liaison person. We
were able to explore a range of projects
that have been piling up with little
progress and came away with some
good results.
Kaiwaka Central
The group that has been working on
plans for Kaiwaka Central (southern
bridge to Kaiwaka Mangawhai Road is
the first stage) will meet next week
with Council staff and Jonathan Larsen
to explore how the Long Term Plan of
KDC can be integrated with our plans.
There is provision over the next three
years in the Long Term Plan for
footbridges and footpaths in this area
and also money available through
application
from
the
Reserve
Contributions fund. Now we are trying
to tease out the way forward.
Welcome Sculptures
To our surprise we found recently the
hold up in this was a very complex set
of conditions from NZTA which we
hadn’t signed. The reason was very
simple. We hadn’t seen them! Now we
have them and can start to untangle
what they need.
Playground Fence
Expect to see this soon. However, it
would be there a little quicker with
some keen volunteers to paint the
timber, at least to priming stage, before
we put it up, making it safer and easier
to handle. If you would like to be part
of this, ring me on the number below.
Oneriri Road
We have hit a brick wall on this one,
the official verdict being there haven’t
been enough serious accidents! This is
despite the mushrooming population up
the road and its branches.
Weed attack!
Our environmental enthusiasts have
come up with plans for reducing the
weeds round Kaiwaka, an ever present
problem. In September we will invite
you all to join in a national weed week
with clean up projects. But in addition,
there will also be a weed of the month
project advertised through the Bugle.
So, look out for the first weeds to get
our attention.
Road maintenance
Jonathan Larsen has been active getting
some of the potholes and eyesores
cleaned up round town. One very major
one though seems to have slipped the
attention of the roading team at KDC,
namely the slip up Gibbons Road, there
for probably 18 months and the scene
of a very serious accident about a
month ago.
Incorporation
We need to become an incorporated
society so that funding applications
have an official body to act. We are
gathering our foundation membership
names and working on rules, so this
can be achieved shortly.
Incidentally talking of funding, we are
very grateful for the generous $500
donation from Rotary recently
which is going towards the
playground fence completion.
Thank you Rotary.
And we would love more
people to join us. Kaiwaka Can
is a completely open group.
While we have a team of regulars
and will have a starting
membership for Incorporation,
we are open at any meeting for
any local people to join us or
even to come to just one meeting
with an issue that is on your
mind. Third Wednesday each
month at Archie Bull Hall,
5.30pm, behind St Pauls Church.
Review Meeting
A large part of what we do in
partnership with Kaipara District
Council is driven by the
Township Improvement Plan,
drawn up between NZTA,
Council and Kaiwaka Can, now
nearly three years ago. In
October we will hold a Council
driven meeting to review our
progress and hear from people
about other concerns regarding
our great little town.

GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
An unknown poet wrote:
‘I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I couldn’t fail;
the same four walls of busywork were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,
but stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.
I said it didn’t matter that I wasn’t doing much;
I said I didn’t care for things like dreams and goals and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside my zone,
but deep inside I longed for something special of my own.
I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win;
I held my breath and stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step, and with new strength I’d never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye, then closed and locked the door.
If you are in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out, remember that all winners
were at one time filled with doubt.’

Book Reviews
This mortal boy by Fiona
Kidman. Albert Black was just
18 years old when, as a
disillusioned lad in his home
city of Belfast with no future to
be had there, he became a "ten-
pound-Pom" and emigrated to
Wellington. To all intents and
purposes, he had his whole life
ahead of him in the land of
milk and honey - so how did he come
to be known as the 'jukebox killer' in
Auckland, resulting in him being the
second-to-last person hanged for a
crime
in
New Zealand? This
novelisation of true events is a sad tale
of listless youths struggling to find
their place in a world that is hostile to
them. I found it a
compelling read and have
no
hesitation
in
recommending it. This
book is on the Rental
Fiction shelves in our
library.
Across the strait series - A southern
star, A southern shelter, and A
southern strait, by Anya Forest
(pictured above). These three books
tell the story of Blake Ryan and his
close friends and
family. He's a good
young
Southern
Man, into hunting
and
tramping
around
Stewart
Island when he's not
working
at
the
vineyard
in
Queenstown. These
are
straight-out
romance stories, set
in southern New
Zealand, about men
and women who
have hurdles to
overcome in their
lives. I really enjoyed them. These
books are on the Rental Fiction shelves
in our library.

Mary, Tom and their daughter were
town folk who inherited a small piece
of land. Grandma got them two young
calves Otis and Ergle. Eventually it
came time to call home-kill. Tom never
liked Otis, so the next night at dinner,
he said he was enjoying his Otis
sausages. “Aw Dad it’s not!” said the
daughter. Weeks later Grandma told
the six-year-old don’t worry she was
getting them two more calves. The
granddaughter replied “Great, more
meat!” I believe the new calves are
called T Bone and Rump.
Sometime in the seventies I met a man
named William Souter. I was on my
first day in a specialist boat yard and at
morning tea I sat down at the smoko
table, in front of me was a big cup ring
scorched into the table top. I was
promptly told by the other men not to
sit there as it was Billy’s seat. He was a
very stout, strong dour Scotsman, with
a loud gruff Glaswegian accent. As
time passed in the yard I learned that
Billy was a Shipwright from the Clyde,
tough as they come, he had pounded
deck planking onto the QEII in driving
snow. He had rescued drunken mates
from going to sleep on the way home
full of “whusky” from the pub, thus
saving them from being frozen to death
by falling to sleep against the fences
along the streets of Glasgow.
Billy was a good man, and capable and
one time whilst working together he
told me privately that he was a little
lonely and needed to get a dog for
company. As it happened I had a
lovely affectionate, gentle, black and
tan German Shepherd, at the time my
girl friend had a nice one also, so we
didn’t want two dogs. Billy was very
grateful after getting the dog and his
growl towards me stopped somewhat,
but
still
continued
to
others.
Unfortunately the other Alsatian dog
took a liking to my sheep one night
whilst staying over, and attacked five
of them. Either the girl had to go or the
dog! Suddenly on my hands were three
dead and two badly injured animals.
Not being one who likes waste, I
butchered the animals for, would you
believe it? Dog food! So, at work I told
Billy to come by on the weekend to
pick up some meat.
I had a carcase hanging from a tree
branch as his car wound its way up the
farm drive. The animal was skinned,
split up the middle and I was just into
ringing it, so the offal would fall into a
plastic lined bin underneath, as was my
usual method. As Billy came over I
selected the creature’s lung from the
bin of offal and asked him, if he had
ever seen this? “Nah Byo, whut ye
talkin aboot?” I put the lung to my
mouth and blew it up showing all the
veins and such. Well this big
bombastic man who most people were
afraid of, feet went out from under him
and he fainted, collapsed right there on
the drive - the tough Scotsman! He
came to after a bit and departed with
plenty of meat wrapped in news print.
We never mentioned that episode ever
again, especially not at work.
