On Wednesday last week we lost one

Kaiwaka’s

most

memorable

characters. Lars Hakkenberg died in a

head on collision on Gibbons Road,

just a short distance from his home. As

Kaiwaka Can we pay our special

tribute to him and I am sure many

others in Kaiwaka will pay tribute in

other ways too. We also expressed our

deep sadness at his wife Nina’s loss.

The two of them were so much a team

together.

On Thursday evening, Kaiwaka Can

members were invited to come and

share our grief and our memories of

someone who was with us from the

beginning, someone who generated

many brilliant ideas, who gave strong

and heartfelt responses to things he

thought were not right and who was so

much a part of us it is difficult to

imagine working without him.

As we reflected on his life, we realised

his name “Lars” easily expanded out

into “larger than life”. He was a man of

exceptional brilliance, especially in

technology, computers and electronics.

He was our lighting expert despite his

endless complaints about LED’s. And

he was generous, so generous at times

we wondered how he could give so

much away and yet lack for nothing. It

is not often in life you meet someone

who is totally unique, a one off, an

unforgettable. Lars was all of those and

a measure of his impact was the

presence at our meeting of the Mayor,

Dr Jason Smith and Councillor Anne

Curnow who brought tribute and

condolences from Council. But this

entire issue of The Bugle would not be

enough to list all that Lars did, all the

people he helped and all the cheer he

spread.

Our conversations and memories

turned to a fitting tribute to Lars. Our

conclusion was that a restoration of

lighting that made Kaiwaka the “Little

Town of Lights” was a fitting way to

go. We have the technology sorted,

have people with the skills to design

and carry this through and now need

response from the community. One

response is to let us know you would

like to be part of this. Business people

in particular would be very welcome so

that night time made your business as

memorable as in the daytime. Another

response is to make donations to get

this all done. We are chasing funding

and hopeful of some sources but we

will make the project as big as our

resources as a community allow. We

are still working out details but we

hope there will be boxes in which to

put donations in shops throughout town

in the next few days. There is now an

email address people can send

comments and indicate willingness to

become part of the lighting project -

littletownoflights@googlegroups.com

We did have some good news this

week as well. At our last regular

meeting (the last Lars attended) we

voted to apply for Incorporation as a

Society and due to great work from our

new secretary Jean Guttery, we

received

our

Certificate

Incorporation on Thursday. This means

we have legal status and can apply far

more widely for funding. Officers are

chair Derek Christensen, secretary Jean

Guttery and treasurer Robin Morgans.

We also signed up a foundation

membership of 21, a number which

will grow as people not able to make

the meeting sign up as well. However

Kaiwaka Can will remain a totally

open group, all meetings open to any

who wish to come and ideas,

comments, hopes and dreams from the

community always welcome.

Farewell Lars. Thank you for your part

in bringing us this far.

ROTARY

As part of our Alumni month we have

had Jess Costello speak to us. Our club

helped support her in about 2000 when

she went to Panama for a year-long

exchange initiated by AFS.

Conditions in the first part of her stay

were challenging to say the least but a

Mentor was able to get her situation

sorted and the remainder of her time

there was very rewarding. We not only

learnt more about Panama but also

about what she has been involved post

trip.

It is no doubt that these trips provide

many life-time skills and since then she

has trained as a paramedic and then

used these skills as a crew member on

a super yacht based in Sardinia. Since

returning to NZ she set up a health

shop and is now working in a

landscaping business with her partner.

Her comment about challenges was

“while difficult at the time, I was able

to draw on an inner strength, work

through them and gain in confidence.”

Several Rotarians have travelled

overseas recently and Stella was able

to share about her trip to Barbados. She

mentioned how courteous the drivers

were (even though the roads were not

brilliant) and the difference between

living styles – gated communities and

chattels (colourful wooden dwellings).

The prevalence of seaweed is an

enormous problem.

The walkway/cycleway

meetings

continue to be well attended on the

west side of our area and discussion is

now taking place on various route

options. A number of Rotarians were

able to travel around the new bridge

development at Matakohe. This work

is progressing well and one cannot but

help

impressed

with

the

environmental measures that are being

taken to protect our harbour. Well done

Fulton Hogan.

Calf litter continues to sell well.

Proceeds from this will not only

support our community work but also

enable

support

Rotary

Foundation, which is the arm of Rotary

that carries out projects worldwide to

help enhance the standard of living.

FIRING UP FOR

FEBRUARY – SHOW

UPDATE

Paparoa A&P Show Committee is

gearing up ready for the 2019 annual

show on February 3.

Top of the list is the fantastic news

Circus Kumarani will be providing

family workshops teaching juggling,

hooping, tightrope walking and much

more!

Also, on the good news list is, despite

Mycoplasma bovis, the cattle events

will still be going ahead, as well as

classes for calves. Our vice-president

Janine is currently working on the

biosecurity measures required so all

risk is minimised, and everyone can

continue to bring cattle to the show and

have a great day out. Cattle ring

coordinator Susan Clayton is confident

all will go well on the day and is

looking forward to seeing competitors

return for the next event.

Paparoa-based Northern Districts Team

Roping Club will be another feature at

next year’s show.

Club President, Steve Allen says: “For

anyone looking for a way to get into

the sport of team roping, barrel racing

and other stock skills the A&P show

day is a great opportunity to get

involved with your horse in the horse

games of the day and meet people.”

New Zealand dairy goat breeds will

also be showcased next year. Dairy

goat ring coordinator, Teresa Atkins

says: “Here you will get a chance to

see the goats on parade and see who

will get champion. You are welcome to

come and meet the goats at the goat

pavilion. A fun activity with pet goats

will be on during the lunch break

providing entertainment for all.”

Last show we had an astonishing array

of entries in the many classes for the

indoor exhibits.

Everything from children’s writing and

crafts, to cheese making, vegetable

growing, photography, arts and crafts

as well as the dahlia class – with the

champion won last show by Kaipara

mayor Jason Smith.

“Now is the time to get the ground

ready and plant your dahlias for the

show. There is a special class for

novice growers with a good prize!

Check the indoor schedule on the

website and plant marigolds, pansies,

geraniums, etc for the floral section.

There are also lots of other classes to

prepare entries for – photography,

homebrew, sewing, knitting and other

handcrafts and a large children’s

section,” says organiser Dorothy

Simpson.

There is also an equestrian section, as

well as trade exhibitors and so much

more. Watch this space!

COUNCILLOR’S COMMENT*

with Otamatea Ward Councillor Jonathan Larsen

Kaiwaka Can is Official.

It was a privilege to witness the

signatures to make Kaiwaka Can an

incorporated society this evening at the

Archie Bull Hall. The AGM was very

well attended with 25 locals showing

up. Kaiwaka Can is a community

group that is leading a number of

initiatives to improve Kaiwaka and

surrounding areas.

Incorporation means the group will be

better placed to apply for funding for

community projects.

Exciting times ahead!

Top Mountain Bike Park for

Kaipara?

Council owns a large (approximately

190 hectares) bush block at the base of

the Brynderwyn Ranges on Browns

Road. This land is part of the farm that

was purchased as the wastewater

disposal site for the Ecocare project.

The Mangawhai Tracks Charitable

Trust led by local community stalwart

Gordon Hosking carries out amazing

voluntary work developing a network

of walking tracks in the Brynderwyn

Ranges and other locations around

Mangawhai.

In 2013 the Trust carried out an

evaluation of the Browns Road block.

What they found was an already

established network of tracks ideally

suited to the development of a top-

quality mountain bike

park and further walking

tracks with the potential to

link to the already established network

in the Ranges. The Trust is keen to

proceed with helping to develop the

block as a community recreation

reserve and presented a detailed

proposal to Council in 2014 and again

in 2017. So far permission has not been

gained to proceed with the project.

Mountain bike parks in other areas

have been proven to provide significant

economic benefits by attracting users

to the area. This is a unique

opportunity because Council already

owns the land and there is a proven and

established volunteer group ready and

willing to add value.

I have raised the proposal again with

the new Council CEO with hope of

getting some action on this project

soon. I will keep you informed as

things progress.

If you have any community projects or

issues that you would like assistance

with, I can be contacted on Ph. 021 185

8389 or Cr.Larsen@kaipara.govt.nz.

Check out my ‘The WorkBoot

Councillor’ Facebook page for regular

updates.

and do not necessarily represent the consensus

position of Council.

What do you think - is this an initiative that you would like to see happen?

OTAMATEA

REPERTORY

THEATRE

The Annual General Meeting of

the Otamatea Repertory Theatre

Inc will be held at the theatre on

Thursday 8 November 2018, 7pm.

Brittany Dyer is the Director of

'Sleeping Beauty' - assisted by her

younger brother, Haydn Dyer, as

Musical

Director.

The

siblings,

pictured here, have been involved with

ORT for many years, both on and off

stage. Brittany directed 'I Never Saw

Another Butterfly' by Celeste Raspanti,

earlier this year, for ORT's Festival of

One Act Plays. Haydn recently

appeared as the Narrator in Sondheim's

classic masterpiece 'Into the Woods'.

Albi & The Wolves are back after the

wonderful mini tour that was The Great

New Zealand Folk Revival to visit

many of the places they missed! This

relentless trio will hit 21 cities and

towns in the North and South Island to

celebrate their next single ‘It Ain’t

Easy’.

Albi & The Wolves are a New Zealand

string band that creates a huge sound

using only an acoustic guitar, an

electric violin, a double bass, and their

three voices. The band is renowned for

their great stage presence and dynamic

shows that they have evolved by

touring extensively here and a little in

Australia. Their songs stand out on

their own too as the band recently won

the Best Folk Artist 2018 TUI at the

New Zealand Music Awards for their

debut album One Eye Open. Chris

Dent (the proud albino front man Albi),

Pascal Roggen, and Micheal Young’s

individuality shines through the music

to make something compelling,

uplifting, soulful and fun.

Each show is different so be sure to

catch them and Molly May, who will

be opening the night, on Saturday 3

November at the Otamatea Repertory

Theatre. Tickets are on sale now at

Eventfinda for $20 but will be $25 on

the night and the show starts at 7:30pm

OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL

KAIWAKA SCHOOL: 150 YEARS OLD

CELEBRATIONS AND REUNION 2020

Kaiwaka School was first established

in 1870 and has a long history of

generation after generation attending

the school for primary education.

We want to celebrate this astonishing

feat.

Calling for Community Help

The Board of Trustees is calling for

community input into designing and

preparing for this celebrations. What

ideas do you have for a reunion,

celebrations and future planning for

Kaiwaka School? We would love this

to be a big community wide time of

celebration and reunion.

How you can help:

⚫

Contact the school to go onto a

Planning Committee

⚫

Share your ideas for the celebrations

with the school - what would you like

to have included?

⚫

People who have moved away from

the area will be invited. Do you have

names and addresses of these people?

Please contact the school on 09 431

2309 or principal@kaiwaka.school.nz

to offer your help and support.

Pictured below: Kaiwaka School as in

December 1916 until 1942 when it was

moved west across the top netball court

and used as a craft room and third

classroom until sold along with the

school house (seen in background) in

1959.

Principal’s News

Well done to all the students involved

in the Road Race, which is the final

whole school inter iwi event for the

year.

This week is a very busy time for the

school with a visiting group of students

from Chile, a visit from the athlete

Tom Walsh (which was won by the

AIMs netball team, pictured below), a

parent presentation by a well-known

presenter (Wednesday), digital media

studies film night (Thursday) and

finally senior prizegiving (Friday).

All prize-winners have now received a

letter indicating this and parents should

have also received a letter through e

mail inviting you to the prize-giving

on Friday 2nd November.

Senior reports and this year’s magazine

will

available

after

prizegiving. Any reports which aren’t

collected will be posted out. After

senior prizegiving senior students who

have met the necessary requirements

will be given study leave to prepare for

their external exams. As in previous

years some senior students will be

required to continue attending school

during this time, so that they receive as

much support as possible to secure

their qualifications. Students and

parents will be notified of study leave

status.

Early closure on Thursday 8th

November: Please note that our

school is closing at 12:30pm on

Thursday 8th November. The reason

for this is that the teaching staff will be

attending a Paid Union Meeting. High

School buses will run at this time.

Cell phones

At Otamatea High School for some

years now we have had a ‘traffic light’

strategy for cellphones in the

classroom which allows cell phone use

with the agreement of the teacher.

However, from November this school

will not be allowing cell phones in the

classroom. A part of the OTA Way is

‘Always Learning’ and for some

students their cell phones are

hampering their education. ‘F.O.M.O’

- fear of missing out, now sees students

checking their phones constantly. By

removing phones from the classroom,

we hope to help the students focus on

their studies.

Kaiwaka Bugle - 30 October 2018

Page 15

If you look at the ingredients list of

the

skin’s pigment is called melanin and is

produced by a skin cell, the

melanocyte.

Alongside the melanocyte is an

enzyme

called

tyrosinase

that

oxidizes the amino

acid tyrosine to create

melanin. When the

melanocyte

damaged by UV rays,

it triggers a cascade

reaction causing an

over production of

melanin or hyper-

pigmentation. Certain

medications

and

hormones are also

known to trigger

hyperpigmentation.

When

treating

pigmentation look for

ingredients that inhibit

tyrosinase

activity.

These

are

called

tyrosinase inhibitors.

A common tyrosinase

inhibitor

hydroquinone which

can only be prescribed

by your doctor. Then

there are other natural

form of tyrosinase inhibitors which

your skin therapist should be able to

prescribe. Use Vitamin A to help

regenerate, repair damage and keep

cells healthy. Green Tea extract is a

photoprotective,

anti-inflammatory,

free radical blocker that helps to repair

UV induced cell damage.

Avoid all products with fragrance or

essential oils as they can be

photosensitisers and many are known

to trigger excess pigment. Only use

perfume on your hair or clothes, never

directly on your skin.

The best way to prevent pigmentation

is always cover up when you’re in the

sun and use sunscreen. The less direct

sun exposure equates to the reduced

risk of pigmentation.

Finally, did you know that most of our

sun damage is done by the time we’re

18, but will only typically show in our

40’s. If you are still in your twenties or

thirties and are serious about your skin

health, ask your skin therapist to

examine your skin under a skin scanner

to identify any damage underneath so

you can prevent further damage and

prevent the existing damage from

surfacing later on in life. Better to

prevent than to treat later on!

Dargaville book swap

The next swap with Dargaville Library

is coming up on 4 December. Now is a

good time to come and take a good

look at those shelves, and borrow any

books of interest before they disappear.

These books are free to borrow, and

there's no need to return these books

before the swap; you can keep them

until their due dates and renew them

twice before they need to come back, if

there's no hold placed by someone else

- that's 9 weeks! With our generous

borrowing limits (40 items per card)

you can afford to take some extra titles

and keep hold of them until Christmas

or later. I can help you with renewals if

you

need

assistance.

Junior

Memberships

Do you have a youngster in your

household who is ready for the

responsibility of their own library card?

It is free for them to join our library, just

as it is for adults. Go

https://

kaipara.kotui.org.nz/

and

click on the link to join up,

fill in the details - or come

in to the library and we can

help you with that step -

and then come in to collect

your new library card.

Adults need to provide ID

(details are on the screen

and emailed to you when

you sign up online or

you're not online at home)

complete

their

membership and receive

their library card, juniors

do not.

Finding books in a series

Have you had a series of

books recommended to you and you're

not sure how to find out where to start?

My favourite site for this is Fantastic

Fiction (fantasticfiction.com). Search by

the author, and you'll find a list of

everything they've published, with any

series listed in reading order. Then pop

over to our library catalogue (https://

kaipara.kotui.org.nz/) and search to see if

those books are in the district. Even if

they're at another library in Kaipara, you

can log in to your library account and

place a hold - so the book will be pulled

from the shelf, and if it's at another

library it will be sent along to us. I'll

contact you when the book is ready for

you to collect. If you need help, just let

me know the details; I'll look it up and

can place a hold on it for you.

Making Christmas presents

If you're feeling a bit crafty and need

some inspiration for ideas to make your

Christmas presents this year, come in and

take a look at our range of craft books.

Check our normal Non-Fiction shelves

(free to borrow), the Rental Non-Fiction

shelves (50c to borrow for 3 weeks), and

the Dargaville shelves, around the 600 -

799 area. We have books on knitting,

sewing, making cards, and much more.

Generosity NZ

Don't forget to use your library

membership to access the Generosity NZ

databases when you're looking for

funding, whether it's for yourself or for a

group you're involved with. If you don't

find what you're looking for with the first

try, change your search terms or come

back again another day and try again -

the search results will show you the

funds that have a closing date coming up;

it doesn't show all the funds available

throughout the year, and it might not

quite be time for the one that is perfect

for your needs. If you need help, contact

me or the staff at Dargaville Library.

This is a free service provided by

Kaipara District Council and is available

to every person who has a library card

for one of the libraries in the district -

this is your rates in action.

Book review

I've been reading the Red Queen series -

Red Queen, Glass Sword, King's Cage,

and War Storm by Victoria Aveyard.

We follow Mare Barrow, an ordinary red

-blooded young girl

in the rural village of

Stilts, where she

helps her family to

survive by stealing

what she can -

something she's quite

skilled at. But she's

about to come of age

and doesn't have a

job or apprenticeship,

so she's going be

conscripted into the

army - to fight a war

for

the

Silver-

blooded nobles who

rule over the land.

Her

three

older

brothers have already

gone into the army

and one has died; her

younger sister is safe with an

apprenticeship. To find the money to buy

her way to freedom on the black market,

Mare's sister takes her to the nearby city

where she works, so she can pickpocket

some rich people - and that's where it all

starts to go wrong, in ways Mare couldn't

have imagined.

This dystopian story is set in the future,

long after a nuclear war decimated much

of the earth. One reviewer has described

it as "Game of Thrones with Katniss as

the Mockingjay with X-Men in a

tantalizing YA twist of magical

perfection." These books are Teen

Fiction, and you'll find them on the

Rental Fiction shelves (though free to

borrow) until July 2019. You can place a

hold

them

via

the

online

catalogue (https://kaipara.kotui.org.nz/),

or ask at the library for a hold to be

placed for you.

If you've read and enjoyed a library book

recently, and would like to tell us about

it, please feel free to write your own

review and send it in. Email it, post it to

our PO box, or drop it in to the library.

Christmas shutdown

The library will be closed from 2pm

Saturday 22 December 2018 until 4pm

Monday 7 January 2019.

See you in the library, Wendy

MELTON’S MEMOIR: DOCTOR JP.

“The old Dad was a J.P. and as such

was expected by the scattered farming

community to be able to find a solution

to anything and turn his hand to most

things.

I well remember an Austrian, of whom

there were many in the North, riding in

one day and after the usual chat about

this and that asking him if he was in

fact a J.P. and if so he issued licences

on behalf of the Government. The old

man assured him that he was and

could, depending on what sort of

licence was required. The ‘Dallie” as

most now called them, said “I want a

licence to shoot a bloody dark bugger

who is pinching my kauri gum. Now

the thing which puzzled my young

mind was why the “Dallie”, who

appeared to be a decent sort of a joker,

would want to shoot anybody, being

described as bloody, must obviously,

according to my reasoning have taken a

pretty severe kind of beating already.

On another occasion one of the local

cockies rode in and demanded the old

man extract a back molar which was

giving him hell.

suppose

the

nearest

dentist

would have been at

Helensville,

the

then rail-head of

the Northern line,

and the nearest

doctor

goodness

how far away. The

old man protested

violently that he

did not have the

skill, experience or

tools for the job,

but to no avail as

the sufferer insisted

that he give it a go.

So, when an assortment of pliers was

laid out and the patient fortified with a

large tumbler of whisky, he was seated

in a bentwood chair and the operation

commenced. At the first attempt the

pliers slipped off the tooth and the

patient was saved from concussion

only by the height of the ceiling.

The second and third attempts were no

better, and the unfortunate bloke then

protested, in blurred speech, that he

had had enough and was off home. He

had not however, reckoned with the

tenacity of the operator who was now

warming up to his work, so after an

interchange of pliers, a lapse of time,

and a spate of words I had never heard

before, the offending molar was

extracted. Whether the patient had to

be helped to mount his horse before

leaving for home no one knows.”
