BUGLE CREW MEMBER
THE MANDER HOME
This beautiful home, pictured above, just north of Kaiwaka
on SH1 was built by Frank Mander in 1886 at Point Ernie,
just above the shore line where the kauri logs floated ready
for the ships, on one of Angus and Margaret Stewart’s
original Crown Grants (1864). A photo can be seen in ‘Hill
of the Sea Bird’ by AP Watson, page 126 . The Manders
lived there till 1888 after which the Stewarts towed the then
single story house to its present position. In about 1900
they added a second story and reroofed it with corrugated
iron. Ron and Gay Young made some alterations, including
removing the verandah.
Ref: ‘Skye to Timber Mountain’ by Desmond Stewart,
2004, pages 141-3. This includes a description of the house
and photos. This area is well written about in Jane
Mander's book ‘The Story of a New Zealand River’.
ABOUT TOWN
Bugle Team member, Gay Young, was
farewelled at the Kaiwaka Sports
Complex on Monday 13 August.
She joined the Bugle team after the
loss of her husband Ron, and came to
thoroughly enjoy the fellowship. Even
when she was gravely ill she said she
expected to be back at the Bugle soon.
Most people will remember Gay as the
Daffodil Lady for Kaiwaka - and right
to the last was still organising this
year’s roster for volunteers.
Gay, nee Greenway, was truly a Kaiwaka girl - she spent
all her life in Kaiwaka, except for a time in Auckland. She
worked in both Kaiwaka and Wellsford post offices, and
with husband Ron raced greyhounds, bred Welsh
ponies, campervanned and enjoyed their home
(below).
She is survived by daughter and son-in-law, Angela
and Mike, and their three sons.

CHANGES: Our fantastic accounts
and funding manager is moving on to
do other things in the South Island and
will be missed more than he knows. To
take his place we are fortunate to have
found the perfect replacement – well,
actually, he found us - it is so great to
have the right person for this
demanding role.
Also, we now have a Community
Support Manager. We aim to fulfil as
much as we can in the needs of our
senior citizens as one part of her role
and she is also able to offer support to
people struggling with addictions. It
followed that a person dedicated to the
role was required and again, we didn’t
need to look, she found us - two extra
counsellors our group is growing.
GOVERNANCE BOARD: The OCS
AGM will have been held by the time
this is printed. It’s possible there will
be more changes as the dedicated long-
standing Chair and Board members
have more than done their share. We
will report on any changes in the next

Sheltered any flower at all?
Who’d have dreamed the Queen of

Lurked in that small dingey thing?
How I love you Daffodil

Kaiwaka Bugle - 21 August 2018
Page 7
As mentioned in a previous Bugle, we
now have a new President, Keith
Shadbolt. Each President brings their
unique ideas to the Club and this year,
rather than having a number of
Directors we will have two. One group
will focus on Community Service
while the other one on Youth,
International
and
Fellowship.
However, members will continue to
work together on various community
projects.
Trevor Brljevich
We were fortunate to have Trevor
Brljevich PHF, talk to us at one of our
dinner meetings. Most of you will
know Trevor for his dedication to St
John (he was a founding member in
1955 and is still involved on the Area
Committee) but he is also a proficient
flower breeder and grower. This
humble man, who many of you will see
at the local markets selling his wares,
still
maintains
large
gardens
incorporating not only dahlias and
lilies but also many varieties of
vegetables. Trevor’s speech was not
only interesting but also very
inspirational.
Trevor told us that his flowers are a
living memorial to his father and that
he always strives for excellence. His
goal in life is, “if I can do one small
thing to make life a better place, I have
succeeded”. A motto that we should all
try to emulate.
Brynderwyn walkway
We will have to find a new home for
the picnic table that was originally
built to be placed on the Brynderwyn
walkway. This area is now
closed to the public. It is
thought that we might be able
to place it in Nikau Grove. We still
need to make a short board walk on
one of the wetter parts of the track and
also place a bridge over the roots of the
kauri tree.
Duke of Edinburgh students
We have appreciated the help of DOE
students from the High School in
helping us bag calf litter and in helping
us keep the Rotary car clean.
Driver Mentoring
With the Driver Mentoring, our goal
has been met so far – three students
have sat and passed their Restricted
licences. May this continue in the
coming months.
Several members have been able to
avail themselves of training offered by
District 9910 in Rotary. These sessions
are great to be part of as it makes us
realize that our Club is part of a much
bigger, wide reaching organisation
(and also allows us to share ideas with
other Clubs).

Principal’s Comment
Congratulations to Noah Martin for
being selected for the U11 South Zone
Representative rugby team.
The Open Days at the school were
fantastic. It was a privilege to host the
Year 6s and 8s from the local schools
for the day. The Year 13s and prefects
were wonderful hosts and many other
students were great ambassadors for
the school by assisting in various ways.
Congratulations to all the students
involved in the Reporoa Exchange
this past week. This exchange is
believed to be the longest running
senior sports exchange in the country.
It was started in the first year that both
schools started - 1966. Thank you once
again for those who billeted students.
We
won
the
exchange
4-3
demonstrating great commitment by
recovering from Reporoa’s 3 - 0 lead
after the basketball and debating. Our
football, netball, hockey and rugby
teams won their respective games.
On Wednesday 22nd August we are
holding our enrolment evening at
school. Please contact the school for
an appointment time if you have
a child that you wish to enrol for 2019.

We need a few Smart phones to run the
apps for our robot balls. If you perhaps
have a smart phone that you are not
using anymore, would you consider
donating it to the school to be used by
the Robotics Club?

Kaiwaka is now more colourful
Kaiwaka has a whole lot more colour.
As I write the playground fence build ,
pictured below, is under way and over
the next couple of days, posts, rails and
balustrades will be going up, all
painted in bright colours to match the
playground equipment. This has been a
long drawn out project with all sorts of
setbacks but thanks to the help of
Council, support from other people and
firms and the never ending persistence
of Wiremu Paikea, it has arrived.
Thank you Wiremu in particular for
never giving up. The parents and
children who use the playground will
always be grateful.
Kaiwaka Central – a major
project shaping up.
An expert team has now completed
drawings,
design
and
estimated
costings for the Kaiwaka Central
project. This will include a footbridge
over Kaiwaka River, a dog friendly
track along the river bank below
Eutopia, a properly formed path under
the bridge and along the river bank to
the east including a wheelchair access
path up to Mormors. It will also put in
place 10 carparks on Oneriri Road
from which people can walk over the
footbridge and either up the hill to west
side shops or under the bridge to east
side shops. It will include plantings,
picnic tables and everything needed to
make this an attractive and welcoming
way into central Kaiwaka. Next step is
to work with Council and the various
parts of Council to integrate a very
complex project.
Weeds watch out!
Our environmental team is waging a
war on weeds and wants you to get
involved. They are forming links with
other weed control groups, working in
with Northern Regional Council pest
control plans and also highlighting the
special national weed focus in the
middle of September.
Time to get incorporated
We have acted in a very low-key
fashion up till now with Council being
very helpful with funding along with
NZTA. But we now need the capacity
to apply directly for funding ourselves
and for that we need to be
incorporated. We have begun the
process of setting up a formal
membership, developing a set of rules
and making final application. We still
plan however to work in a very open
and inclusive manner and Kaiwaka Can
is always open at any of its meetings to
anyone interested. We want people
especially to commit to whatever is
their passion for Kaiwaka and not feel
you are just adding another meeting to
your timetable.
And we now have a logo!
We now have a Kaiwaka Can logo,
beautifully designed by Rosie, one of
our gifted artistic members and this
will be ready for the next Bugle article
and also form the design for the
common
seal
when
we
are
incorporated. We are lucky as a
community to have so many gifted and
generous people living amongst us.
Community consultation
Council is planning a community
consultation along with Kaiwaka Can,
to review community ideas and
responses, especially to the Kaiwaka
Township Improvement Plan which
has now been in place for three years.
This will be in October.
Lights...
The Venturer scouts are holding their
huge jamboree from 1
st
to 11th January
2019. 1500 extras round Kaiwaka,
camping at the Sports grounds! Their
theme is Illumination, based on our
reputation as The Little Town of
Lights. We have explained to them
what has happened to the lights, but we
are working hard to bring at least some
lights back. I have a letter outlining
possibilities for individuals
and
businesses but we encourage everyone
who can to see if we can light up
before Christmas.
Special thanks to Jonathan Larsen,
councillor for our area for KDC and
Rick Stolwerk, our area councillor for
Northern Regional Council who both
give us great support and bring
expertise and guidance.
A good month for Kaiwaka Can which
we are working to turn into real
improvements for Kaiwaka.

KSA Fundraiser: Save-a-Life
keyring
If you have one of these keyrings, you
could save a life!
The Save-a-Life keyring has a capsule
which contains a soluble aspirin.
Chewed or placed under the tongue, an
aspirin can make all the difference
when someone is experiencing signs of
a heart attack. The aspirin potentially
helps keep a patient alive for what
paramedics call “The Golden Hour”.
This is the time between when the
attack begins, paramedics arriving on
the scene and the time it takes to
transport the patient to hospital.
The keyrings are $15 for a 3-pack - a
small price to pay for potentially
saving somebody’s life. Buy one for
someone you love. A great gift idea for
upcoming Father’s Day. Contact me on
cherylanderson051@gmail.com
to
place an order.

Venture
Illuminate 2019
Monday December 31st 2018 -
Friday 11th January 2019
Cory Lang, Venture director - pictured,
and his team
gave
an
excellent
rundown on the
Venture at the
KSA on 10
August:
The Opening
Ceremony is
on Tuesday 1st
January.
The
next morning
the participants
leave the site until Sunday 6th January.
The Venture is a 12-day event for
Venturers. These are 14-18-year-old
Scouts and Guides, who come from all
over New Zealand as well as a large
number from overseas.
With a primary role of youth
development, Scouts aim to provide
opportunities for our young people to
challenge and stretch themselves on a
number of levels - intellectually and
socially, as well as physically, in a safe
environment.
The event is divided into two parts -
Phase 1 commences with the first night
at Kaiwaka for an opening ceremony.
The following day participants leave
for their ‘expedition’. An expedition is
a five-day activity, or number of
activities, which individuals have pre-
selected. There is a choice of 35
expeditions ranging from skill based
such as photography and masterchef,
through to physical and mental
challenges such as caving and amazing
race, and many that are a mixture of
adventure,
self-development
and
personal challenge. The full array can
be
viewed
on
our
website
illuminate2019.com With the exception
of caving, all expeditions will be based
throughout Northland and Auckland.
Phase 2: January 6th, they will again
set up camp with all but a few under
canvas. The programme for this phase
is a combination of onsite and offsite
activities
aimed
at
engaging,
challenging and growing our young
people
socially,
physically,
intellectually, in character, emotionally
and spiritually. This Phase is packed
with lots of ‘fun’ activities as well as
the more challenging.
Projected numbers: between 900 and
1000 youth members and will have
around 200 leaders and staff.
The site: The Venturers will have
exclusive use of the Kaiwaka Primary
School, Kaiwaka Sports Complex and
some adjoining land for the duration of
the event. They will operate a medical
centre,
dining
facilities
using
professional caterers, a security team,
additional site services for ablutions
and water management, and traffic
management for the bus and minivan
movements.

Charitable Trust Fund Raising
Committee
Please look in the shop window next to
the Maungaturoto Lotto shop for a
display of plans of the retirement
village and dementia unit with an
explanation and a barometer of how
fund raising is progressing.
By the time this is published, the
barometer should be around or over
$200,000. The barometer will be
updated in $50,000 increases. To those
who have indicated they will donate, it
would be nice to have your donations
as we want to start applying to the
major funding organisations (Lotteries,
ASB, etc.). The bank has indicated we
will need closer to $700,000 than
$500,000 for them to release their
facility.
We as a fund-raising committee will be
running various fund-raising events
throughout the year. In October, we
hope to have a night at the Otamatea
Repertory Theatre featuring the
Mangawhai Choral group. The calf
raising scheme is being organised by
Pepe Ewen, so let her know if you are
raising one or more calves or donating
a calf for someone else to rear. For
those who want to rear a calf or two,
we will provide milk powder and meal.
For more information on the calf
scheme contact Pepe Ewen ph.

KAIWAKA LIBRARY
Free Wi-Fi
We have a new modem for our free Wi-Fi
service, which should solve technical
difficulties some people have had with
connecting to our free service. Please let
me know if you can't connect to one or
both
of
our
bands.
One
is
called Kaiwaka_Library and is a slower
connection but you should be able to
connect to it from a greater distance; the
other is called Kaiwaka_Library_5 and is a
faster connection but has a shorter range.
Both are free for anyone to
connect to, and no password
is required. We leave the Wi-
Fi running night and day.
Thank you to Kaipara District
Council for providing the
funding to pay for this
service.
Overdue notices
The automated email notice
system is now up and
running. This is an opt-in
service - if you'd like to be
included, let me know. It
includes an email three days
before an item is due, then
when the item is a week
overdue, two weeks overdue, and lastly
when it is three weeks overdue. At the
three-week point, if you've not returned or
renewed the item or have not been in touch
with me about it, a $5 charge will be added
to your library account, the item will be
marked as "lost", and you won't be able to
borrow any more items until the lost item
has been dealt to. This includes the online
book and magazine services. It's better to
have a conversation with me about the item
before we get to that stage.
If you don't opt-in to the automated email
service, you'll still get a reminder from me
about overdue items, by phone, text or
email. The $5 fee when an item is marked
as lost still applies.
Moral of the story - if you have an overdue
item, get it renewed or talk to me about it if
there is a problem, before it's gone that far.
Book review
Heather's recently read Overworked &
underlaid: a seriously funny guide to
life by Nigel Marsh. Heather found it an
uplifting read, and a chuckle. You'll find it
on our Non-Fiction shelves, where its free
to borrow. (646 MAR). "Ever felt that
you're slogging away in a job you don't
enjoy buying things you don't need to
impress people you don't like? If so, Nigel
Marsh knows how you feel. He lifts the
carpet on life's dilemmas that
have given him cause to stop
and think. It makes a
refreshing change from those
self-help experts who claim to
have all the answers. Instead,
this is simply one man's
observations of life and how
to live with it - without losing
your sense of humour." (book
cover)
I've recently purchased two
other titles by this author -
Fat, forty and fired, and Fit,
fifty and fired up. They're not
on the shelves yet, but they're
in the library catalogue so you
can place a hold on them and be the first to
borrow when they're processed. Place the
hold yourself through the online public
catalogue
(
https://ent.kotui.org.nz/client/
en_AU/kaipara/)
or ask me to do it for you
(in person or via email)
Have you read a library book recently and
particularly enjoyed it? Feel free to write
down a little something about what you
liked about it (it doesn't need to contain a
description of the plot if you don't want to
do that), include the title and author and
your name, and send it to me; we can then
use your recommendation to share the
book with others. Write it down and drop it
in to the library, post it to us, or send an
email; contact details are below.

[sic] United Cup
Winners 1926’!
Derek Mason was
able to help, and
also told that the
Hakaru rugby field
was on the flat just
before the Hakaru
Hall - not all that
flat as there was an
uphill incline to
score on the southern touch line!
Back row - Nathaniel Mason Snr (possibly), ?, Brian Linnell, Fred Bowmar,
Joker Donaldson,? ?, ?; Middle row - ?, ?, ?, possibly Tommy Donaldson, ?, ?,
Dennis Lawrence; Front row - no names except for the player holding the ball -
Nat Mason.
At this stage the Kauri Museum or the Mangawhai Museum folk have not been
able to name them either, but we are certain there will be a Stewart in this team.
From the Kaiwaka Centennial book - page 105: ‘
Most prominent among local
players, in their day, were Doug. Stewart (Hakaru), Tom, Sandy and Jim (Joker)
Donaldson, H. C. (Snowy) Paikea, Jack and Brian Linnell, Claude and Dave Wintle
(Tara). All of these men have been well-known representative players, with distinction.
Tom Donaldson .... on his return from the war in July 1919 (after having been away for
5 years) he captained the Otamatea reps. the first Saturday after his return….’

As far back as can be remembered all
Kiwi peoples are immigrants, here is
the story of two.
My wife, an English language teacher,
met a young man of very meagre
means who needed help. He opted for
more than just class time and was full
of questions when he came to our
home. He was Persian (Iranian) and
came from Tabriz he left due to
persecution as he was a Christian. Due
to his looks and accent he found work
in an Italian restaurant cooking and
serving Pizza. He saved every penny or
dollar I should say of his wages, and he
worked every hour God sent, sleeping
only a few of them nightly. The
restaurant had decided to sell off some
Italian ice-cream machines, which he
promptly bought. With help he
obtained a mortgage and bought a
small bungalow, at the back was an old
large shed once used for storing oxides.
Still scrimping and saving and going to
auctions he bought equipment and
materials to make a small cool store
and prep room inside the shed. During
this time he asked us to arrange a
marriage for him, a customary thing in
his culture. With a great sigh of relief
by us he eventually met a girl through
a friend when he was invited to a party.
Long story short, he now owns some
houses, an ice-cream factory, and nice
cars and has two fantastic children: one
son who runs the factory, the other an
international sports woman.
The second man a Russian, looking for
a better life, came to our factory
claiming to be skilled enough to make
bespoke furniture. There was some
doubt as he had no papers showing
this. So, needing workers, we gave him
a job on a trial for one month. Several
years later many of the other men
would pass his bench and just say
“Vun month Vassili” in a Russian
accent and laugh. Vas, as
he was known also
needed help to buy a
modest house for his
family, which he got
from us. He had been
drafted
into
the
communist military and
ordered to be a member
of a squad sent to clean
up Chernobyl. He was
required to wear a lead
lined body suit; besides
the heat it was not
possible
to
relieve
oneself whilst in it. As a result, many
of the men returned in a day, having
soiled inside their gear. On one trip
over the reactor site the helicopter
transporting everyone crashed, Vas
was badly burned down one side of his
body. This at least served to relieve
him of any further work there, but one
resulting effect was that his teeth began
to rot. After a reasonable time as a
cabinet maker he took up some training
as a dental technician. These days he
works in Wellington as a denture
maker.
I have some fine furniture in my
lounge made by him, a talented
addition of skills to New Zealand.
No doubt if his children follow in his
footsteps more hard-working kiwis will
become a part of this country.
A little perspective sometimes clarifies.
In 1095 the Pope sent messengers all
over Europe to gather Knights,
defenders of the realm to save two
thirds of former Christian territory
from being Muslim, western European
Christians wished to check the spread
of Islam and save Jerusalem, the
Knights Templar were formed in
France to this end. Moving fast
forward, fascist Germany initiated
Jewish
Genocide;
senseless,
unwarranted oppression of Jews meant
that a huge amount of Art, Music and
sophisticated culture was lost from
Europe. A further aside, from 1516 the
respected governor (Dogé) of Veneto,
knowing that with the degradation of
the silk road, Venice was losing its
wealth and prosperity decided to set an
area (the forge) ghetto in Italian, as a
home for the historically displaced
Jewish people. He knew the Jews
would bring much needed revenue to
the city. Christian guards were
appointed to control their movements
of after hours. Refer to Shakespeare’s
Merchant of Venice 1597.
