KAIWAKA: The GOOD and the SAD
McCLEAN PARK
MUCK
Sadly the Kaiwaka Rest Area,
McClean Park, just next to Gateway
North Motel has again been left in a
very sorry state.
Mrs Preston was very distraught to
discover last week’s damage caused
by unthinking young drivers. With
the amount of rain the grassed areas
are very soft and easily churned up.
Repairing to the area’s former state
will be difficult and costly.

INTRODUCING
NICK MAKEA
Kia ora,
My name is Nick Makea and I am the
head of the Toka Sports Academy,
which will be operating out of the
Kaiwaka Sports Complex.
A little bit about myself: I am a Level 3
International rugby coach. I have
coached a number of kids and senior
teams over the past 16 years, with my
first coaching job as a 20-year-old with
the Grammar Carlton 7s team. I’ve
played rugby for many years for a
variety of different teams as well as
playing a number of different sports
over the years. I am a fully qualified
Personal Trainer and have six years
personal training and group training
experience for young and old. I have
also been an Athletics coach for
children for three years. I currently run
a mentoring program at Otamatea High
School and Kamo Intermediate and
have also done some work at Rodney
College.
The Toka Sports Academy is for young
athletes who are wanting a Rock-Solid
foundation in sport. Working on all
aspects of sport: physical and mental.
The Academy will be held at the
Kaiwaka Sports Complex, utilising this
comprehensive sporting facility. Please
see the poster in this edition of the
Bugle for details on the various
programmes.
Thank you everyone and I look
forward to meeting you.
Nga mihi, Nick Makea, 027 608 3483
Come and join a special occasion
Kaiwaka Can has been operating now
for almost four years. Set up by
Kaipara District Council, it has been a
very
informal
group,
no
set
membership, no legal status, an open-
door policy for all meetings and yet has
been effective in working through
some important issues for Kaiwaka.
The time has come though to get more
serious, especially about money for
major projects. And money generally
can only come from trusts, foundations
and sponsors if we are incorporated.
We never believed early on that we
needed this but now we do. So, our
next Kaiwaka Can meeting will be our
annual meeting, the first in four years!
At this meeting we will establish a
membership (we need fifteen to sign
up to apply for incorporation), will
elect officers (never held an election!)
and adopt the rules we need to have to
apply.
This all sounds very formal, but we
want to get ahead and want more funds
to get ahead. We plan to stay just as
relaxed, user friendly, informal and
open to the public as ever but we will
do the few things we need to gain this
legal status.
So how do you come into it? Very
simple! Come and join us. A lot more
than fifteen have been part of us for at
least part of the journey. We want that
to expand, to bring on more of the
gifted and enthusiastic people who live
in and around our little township.
What does it commit you to? We don’t
want people to come to every monthly
meeting just out of duty.
We want people to form into interest
teams, project teams and use our
monthly meetings to report back,
interact and encourage each other.
There are some major projects and
challenges ahead. We want our town to
look welcoming, green, easy to use.
We want to increase parking and
reduce weeds. We want people to be
able to walk everywhere and not just
drive or play kamikaze with the traffic
over State Highway One. We want
places for visitors to enjoy, relax, take
the dog for a walk, sit by the river at a
picnic table...all these things and a lot
more but it takes people, good people,
people like you to join us.
Our meeting is October 17th, 5.30pm
at the Archie Bull Hall – behind the
Anglican Church. We would love to
see you there. Bring some company
with you to get us incorporated in
style.
Get in touch if you have any questions
or suggestion.
Derek Christensen (Chair – well until
the annual meeting anyway!)

KAIPARA SCALLOPS
The Kaipara Harbour is closed for scallop
gathering. Fisheries NZ’s most recent
scientific information is showing scallop
abundance in the harbour is the lowest on
record, and the distribution of scallops is
increasingly limited.
It’s been closed for commercial fishing
since 1986, and it’s now being extended to
recreational fishers to help the stock
rebuild. The closure comes into effect on
23 October 2018.

MAUNGATUROTO COUNTRY CLUB
History repeats itself
The Maungaturoto Country Club was
just getting underway in May 1977.
The inaugural newsletter, below,
demonstrates the depth of commitment
from the community for this sports and
social complex and the project has
parallels with the campaign underway
to fund the Dementia Unit by the
Maungaturoto Charitable Trust.
NEWSLETTER: 4 May 1977
GOOD NEWS !!!!! – only $30,000
to go!
Fundraising for the purchase of Mr
Ivor Cullen’s farm is now in the last
month and so far, the response has
been tremendous. Out of the $140,000
needed, $30,000 is coming from the
Lands & Survey Dept and the
Otamatea Country Council. $40,000 is
being left on mortgage by Mr Cullen
for three years and the district must
find the other $70,000. So far, $37,000
in debentures has been promised and
an approach is being made to everyone
in the area to raise the balance. The
debentures carry cumulative interest
at 6% and will be repaid as the income
off the land allows. The value of these
debentures varies between $500 and
$10,000, but most of them are between
one and two thousand dollars.
There has also been an excellent
response to the appeal for donations,
either lump sums now or regular
contributions. These ‘dollar a week’
promises will do a lot to reply the
mortgage.
Livestock for the farm: The Society
bought 300 lambs five months ago and
these have been grazed on farms in the
district. They have been shorn and the
wool is expected to be sold soon.
As well, many farmers donated ewes
and we have a flock of about 350. We
are hoping to have weaned calves
donated next October and November
so the cost of stocking the farm will
not be very high.
On behalf of the committee, I ask for
the support of everyone in the district
for this vast project. The long term
and lasting benefit to our community
will be enormous.
As canvassing the district will be a big
job, anyone able to help in any way,
please contact any of the committee.
We are welcoming new members (we
have $198.00 in members’ fees
already), and the subscription of $2 per
person or $5 per family can be
forwarded to the Secretary or handed
to any of the following committee
members. You will be forwarded a
receipt.

The only surviving member of this
inaugural committee is the inimitable

leading the fundraising campaign for
the Dementia Unit and has already,
thanks to the Den and countless raffles,
raised more than anyone. Huge thanks
go to Albie Paton!!
Maungaturoto Community Walkway
NOW OPEN AFTER LAMBING
Please take care not to disturb the
sheep and lambs. Thank you.
Long-term committee members will
not seek re-election
Three officers of the Country Club will
not be standing for the committee at
the AGM in May 2019.
Rex Roadley - president, Karen Smales
- treasurer and Rae Roadley - secretary
have been in these roles for a combined
total of about 45 years - plus a few
more years as committee members.
As the Country Club is managed by the
committee and volunteers, these roles
will need to be filled well before the
AGM for the Country Club to continue
to function.
As both Karen and Rex are licensed to
serve alcohol, it will be vital for more
members of the team of volunteers who
run the bar to get licences; these are
essential for the bar to open.
Please contact either Rex, Karen or
Rae to find out more or contact the
Country Club.

OTAMATEA
REPERTORY
THEATRE
GROWING PAINS: A CABARET
There’s no dress rehearsal for this
crazy thing called life! Local
professional performers Alex McKellar
and Whitney Channings have united to
create Growing Pains - A Cabaret.
Whitney grew up in Mangawhai and is
a past member of Otamatea Repertory
Theatre, and Alex is the new drama
teacher at Otamatea High School.
After attending drama school at the
National Academy of Singing and
Dramatic
Art
(NASDA)
in
Christchurch, and then going separate
ways globally, Whitney and Alex have
come together in Maungaturoto to
compare stories and break down what
it is to be successful at this thing called
“adulting.”
“Growing Pains is a comedic look at
the ups and down of life. The choices
we make and the effect they have on
your overall journey” says McKellar,

MANGAWHAI BEACH SCHOOL
Mangawhai Beach School is an annual
Agricultural / Gala Day held each year
on the Saturday of Labour Weekend.
This is our school’s major fundraiser
which raises much needed funds for
our school community.
The event has been running for over 10
years now and continues to be a
calendar favourite with local families
and holidaymakers looking forward to
the annual event.
Labour Weekend is a busy one with
Mangawhai swelling with holiday
makers in the lead up to summer and
anywhere upwards of 2,000 people
come along to this event annually.
For the Gala section we organise fun
rides and stalls, quick fire raffles, cake
decorating competitions, yummy food
and entertainment, petting zoo and then
during the morning we also showcase
our agricultural traditions with children
raising lambs and chickens to
showcase on the day. We are so excited
to have our very first year of
introducing chickens to the mix which
has proved to be very popular. Animals
are judged on the day and ribbons and
prizes are given out to the best of the
best.
Our fundraising committee F O M B S
(Friends of Mangawhai Beach School)
are a committed group of volunteer
parents who dedicate their time to
fundraising for our school. They
organise and liaise with the school and
local community to make Ag Day
successful.
There are lots of ways you and your
family can be involved on the day and
also the lead up to the event, and the
more people who get involved the
more successful our family fun event
is. You can register your interest with
the office and then speak to a FOMBS
member to see where you are able to
help out.
During the event lead up, teachers also
organise fun activities for the children
to participate in at school and home.
Previously, we have held Kumara plant
growing competitions, vege animal
displays, grass heads, art sculptures
and art work auctions.
Funds that Ag Day raises have been
used for a variety of things around the
school over the years, some of which
are supporting teacher aides, new
classrooms,
new
playground
equipment, gazebos, tiger turf, shade
sails, class resources, to name a few.
All of these benefit our children and
make our school a great place to learn
and grow, for now and into the future.
Ag Day will continue to be successful,
with the help and support of our local
community. We greatly appreciate all
the assistance we receive for our
fundraisers. As Mangawhai Beach
School continues to grow, funding will
remain an important ongoing focus.
This is a whole school event, and
something the whole community looks
forward to. We value your continued
support for all of our fundraising
initiatives. ~ Thanks, from FOMBS

Kaiwaka Bugle - 1 October 2018
Page 15
If you look at the ingredients list of
your moisturizer or foundation (unless
you’re using dermaviduals prescribed
by me), chances are you will find one
or more PEGs in there.
PEGs (polyethylene glycols) are
petroleum-based
compounds used in
skincare as emollients
(to
soften
and
lubricate skin), as
emulsifiers (to help
water-based and oil-
based ingredients mix
properly)
and
as
vehicles that help
deliver
other
ingredients deeper into
the skin.
The most important
thing you need to
know about PEGs is
their
penetration
enhancing effect, the
magnitude of which
depends on both the
structure
and
molecular weight of
the
PEG,
other
ingredients
in
the
formula, and, most
importantly,
the
overall health of the
skin. If the skin is sun
damaged, sensitive
or
problematic,
meaning the skin
barrier function is
compromised,
all
PEGs may penetrate
through the skin regardless of their
size.
This penetration enhancing effect is
important for three reasons:
1) If your skin care product contains a
bunch of other undesirable ingredients
like colours, perfumes or preservatives,
PEGs will make it easier for them to
get down deep into your skin.
2) By altering the surface tension of the
skin, PEGs may upset the natural
moisture balance. 3) PEGs are not
always
pure,
but
often
come
contaminated with a host of toxic
impurities such as ethelene oxide and
1,4 dioxane which are known skin
carcinogens.
So, it is very important to avoid
products with PEGs if your skin is not
in tip top condition.
Considering PEGs may contain toxic
chemicals that are known carcinogens
and we know that these chemicals can
build up over time, why would we
want them on our skin even if the skin
is healthy?

The end of a very busy Term 3 is here,
clearly a good time to have a rest and
gather energy for the wonderful fourth
term and rush towards summer. We
thank all the parents and caregivers
who have supported our students and

Haka, the Production and our PTA
lunch time rolls have all involved your
help and co-operation. Thank you, we
appreciate it.

School Entrance
You may have noticed a new
structure being constructed at the
front of the school (model
pictured). Our school has been
very fortunate in receiving a generous
donation from Oneriri Farm Station for
the purpose of enhancing our school’s
entrance. A lot of thought and
consultation has gone into deciding that
we will represent the school and our
community with a distinctive waka.
The waka carries baskets of kai and
baskets of knowledge for the journey.
A specially carved prow is to be
prepared.
The design has been prepared by Benji
Woodman, one of our trustees and
parents. Thank you Benji, this is an
amazing gift you have given to the

School holidays
The weather has been all over the place
lately - typical spring! Add in school
holidays, and it can be difficult to find
something to entertain the family.
That’s where we are lucky in Kaiwaka
- we have a fabulous library which
caters for all ages.
Bring the children in to the library to
pick out some books. We have
everything from picture books to
Captain Underpants to Harry Potter
and so much more.
If your children now prefer to call
themselves Young Adults, we have
many books they will like as well. We
have a number of series including
novels by Suzanne Collins, JK
Rowling, Cassandra Clare, Nalini
Singh, Stephenie Meyer, Phillip
Pullman - and that’s just the tip of the
iceberg.
Don’t worry if the mention of them
reading a book these holidays is
greeted by the rolling of eyes - send
them straight to the DVD and Blu-Ray
sections, where we have a selection of
movies and tv series. There is a great
selection on offer for the young and the
not so young.
Remember,
we
offer
children’s
memberships at the library. To find out
more
head
online
to kaipara.kotui.org.nz. Fill in the form
online and then bring them into the
library to pick up their own library
card. Or join yourself - it's free to all
residents and ratepayers in the Kaipara
District.
But wait there’s more... members have
access online to e-books, magazines,
and audio books. All you need is your
membership card and go to the Kaipara
Library page on the KDC website.
From there a whole world of digital
items are on offer. Recent additions to
the
magazines
include
Popular
Mechanics,
Australian
Women’s
Weekly, Marie Claire Australia, Dish,
Classic Boat, and Lonely Planet
Traveller. There are titles for kids, too.
If all you need is reliable internet to get
what you need, then the library can
help you out there too. The library
offers free WiFi 24/7, so you can even
stay in the warmth of your car and use
our service when we're closed. Do you
have school age kids and need the
internet? Spark Jump can help you get
connected - it is a low cost, pre-pay
internet service. See the link below to
see how Te Roroa Learning Centre can
help you register, and you'll get a free
modem, learn how to set it up and run a
speed test. steppingup.nz/spark-jump/3
-steps-join-spark-jump/
There is so much more on offer at the
library than you may know about!
Come to the library Monday 4-6pm,
Wednesday to Saturday 10am to 2pm.
This is your very own community-
owned and volunteer-operated library.
It’s never too late to join.
(
Thanks to Janine for writing this article!)
Book review
Recently I've read the Annika
Bengtzon series by Liza Marklund -
(1) Exposed, (2) Vanished, (3) Prime
Time*, (4) The Bomber*, (5) Red
Wolf, (6) Last Will, (7) Lifetime*,
(8)
The
Long
Shadow*,
(9) Borderline, (10) Without a
Trace*, and (11) The Final Word.
In the first book, "when freelance
reporter Annika Bengtzon gets a call
that a murdered woman's body is lying
in a Stockholm graveyard, she knows
immediately that this story might be
her ticket to the permanent job she
craves. Annika's position at the big-city
tabloid is tenuous and her mother and
boyfriend want her to come back to the
local paper she has worked for, to stay
near home and settle down. As she
pursues the murderer, battling the male
-dominated cliques of the newsroom,
Annika must also overcome her own
inexperience and the instincts that will
draw her much
too close to
the story."
The titles are
listed
in
chronological
order above,
but the earlier
books
were
not written in
that order. I
read
Prime
Time
first,
because at that
moment it was
all we had in
the library. I'd
seen
the
movies made
from
these
books
last
year on the
Rialto
Channel, and
once I'd read
that book I
decided
I
wanted to read
the rest.
Some of the
books
were
already
in
libraries in our
district, and I purchased the remaining
titles for our library. The titles held at
Kaiwaka are marked * above and are
on our Rental Fiction shelves until July
2019. The rest can be requested - either
go
to
our
online
catalogue
(kaipara.kotui.org.nz) and place a hold
yourself, or contact me and I'll do that
for you. Either way, I will let you know
when the books are ready for you to
collect.
Each book stands alone just fine, but I
think they are best read in order, so you
pick up on references to past events.
See you in the library, Wendy

MELTON’S MEMOIR: MR CLARK - CITY COUNCILLOR
Probably the most lawless, or slightly
unorthodox action, was when I had the
roof taken off a building owned by
Council which was at the time being
used as a brothel.
Council had purchased some properties
in Freeman’s Bay with the object of
constructing a depot sufficient to house
all vehicles and machines used by the
Engineers Department. One of these
buildings was a long narrow one, used
possibly for stables in the horse and
cart day which had been converted by a
previous owner into two so called
apartments. The rent for each being
fifteen shillings a week, so one can
appreciate the type of accommodation
they provided. In one lived an old lady
who called herself Mrs Pearson and in
the other an old Digger called ‘Bluey’
McCaffrey who was either drunk, in
the process of attaining that happy
situation, or getting over it, depending
on the due date of his pension.
One day I was urgently called on the
intercom by the front office girls
asking for help and found ‘Bluey on
the rampage and using words simply
not fit for decent company. So, I told
him to shut up or I’d belt him in the
kisser, language he understood, and he
followed me into my office where I
ordered him to sit, have a gasper, and
unload his troubles. “I’m a youming
being Mr Clark and the bitch next door
is runnin a brothel. Nakid wimmin
runninround all night an’ I can’t get no
sleep! I’m a youmin bein and I won’t
put ip with it, it ain’t decent!”
When I asked him if it was Mrs
Pearson, “O course not, it’s that bitch
Mary and I’m youming....”
“All right Bluey, now you go through
to the front office and apologise to the
girls for your behaviour and leave the
rest to me.”
“Fair enough Mr Clark, you’re a decent
sort of a bastard an’ I trust yer”.
After ringing the treasury, I found that
Mrs Pearson owed a few weeks’ rent
and then the College Hill Police Station
where the Sgt told me that one Mary
Benson Callen was thought to be
running the place but so far, he had no
proof. I then arranged to meet him on
the spot the following morning, where
he warned me that Mary was a vicious
type and would break the nearest glass
article on a wall and slash me across
the face with it if angered. He
obviously knew his drill because I read
in the ‘Herald’ some months later that
she had cut the eye out of a man in an
Albert St pub.
However, the door was opened by Mrs
Pearson, so Mary was out. The Sgt
took the names of two local tarts who
had apparently come from Rotorua,
gave them ten minutes to get their gear
together and get out or he would arrest
and charge them. I turned to the old
lady and reminded her that she owed
rent and further stated that Council
proposed charging her with running a
brothel. This of course put the poor old
soul into a panic as I had hoped it
would, and she stated that Mary had
taken her pension book and was
running the establishment to which, I
replied that as she was the tenant she
would be the one to face Court
proceedings, this being confirmed by
the Sgt. The softening up process now
being completed I asked her if she had
a friend she could go to and she gave
me the name of a woman in Wellesley
St.
So, I said, “Fine. Now I will tell you
how to get out of this trouble. You will
sign this tenancy surrender and this
authority for Council to sell your
furniture to liquidate your debt, so you
will be ready to move at ten in the
morning when I will provide a car to
take you to your friend, and if you
breathe a word of our plans to Mary we
will prosecute at once”. The poor
terrified old creature signed the
documents with the Sgt. as a witness
and the stage was set for the next
move.
Next morning, I met the Sgt. who had a
hefty constable with him and was
greeted by Mary at the door. Mary not
unattractive in a hard way was in her
thirties. When I asked for Mrs. Pearson
she asked who the Hell I was, so I
enlightened her and after a call, the old
lady appeared with her coat and hat on.
I should add that she did not move with
a great deal of comfort as she had been
apparently
kicked
in
the
unmentionables by a client the night
before. The Sgt demanded the rent
book and the car had arrived, so the old
lady left with her few pathetic
possessions. I told Mary it was no
concern of hers when she demanded to
know where we were taking the “old
bitch”.
About then the truck arrived from the
depot and the boys began to strip the
roofing off. When Mary demanded to
know what was to happen to her I
assured her that I did not care as she
was merely a trespasser. I balanced
myself on the balls of my feet
expecting trouble, but fortunately the
woman kept her self-control, physically
but certainly not verbally!
With the roof off the boys removed the
few pieces of furniture, took them to
auction and forwarded a cheque to Mrs.
Pearson at her new address.
A simple report of rents owed was put
in to be written off. ~ Bevan Lawrence
