KAIWAKA FIRE BRIGADE

FISHING FUNDRAISING

The weekend of 3 and 4 November was rather windy and

rough, but an excellent number of super fish, especially

snapper, arrived at the Kaiwaka Fire Station for the weigh-

in and the auction. There were more than a hundred folk at

the auction and an excellent result was made. A big thank

you to the sponsors and the working team.

in; fireman Keith Mills with auctioneer Tony Hargreaves.

LOCAL CONTRACTOR OFF ON AN

ANTARCTIC ADVENTURE

For decades local

contractor

Kevin

O’Malley, pictured

above, has dreamed

of walking in the

footsteps of polar

explorers Shackleton

and Scott and this

week that dream will

become a reality.

Kaiwaka

resident

Kevin O’Malley has

been chosen to spend three weeks on the icy continent as

part of Antarctica New Zealand’s Volunteer Programme.

The 39-year-old concrete contractor will spend much of his

time doing maintenance work in and around Scott Base,

New Zealand’s only Antarctic research station, a place not

many have had the opportunity to visit.

Antarctica New Zealand offers volunteer positions to the

right candidates for the summer season. After a long, dark

winter Scott Base is a hive of activity, with scientists

carrying out their research in one of the most remote and

untouched places on earth.

O’Malley is proud to have been offered the volunteer

position and can’t wait to get stuck into work down there,

as well as hopefully meeting a few penguins along the way.

“I’ve been fascinated by Antarctica and New Zealand’s

environmental work down there for a long time, but I never

imagined I would have to chance to actually go to Scott

Base. When I saw Antarctica New Zealand offered a

Volunteer Programme I knew I had to go for it. It really is a

dream come true for me.”

ARMISTICE DAY 2018:

KAIWAKA: Commemoration was brilliantly led by the Jaques Band and singer

~ Lindsey, Ed

“1918 - On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month,

the guns famously fell silent.” - Armistice Day.

“When War broke out the Auckland Mounted Rifles

consisted of the Waikato M.R., 3rd Auckland M.R, and

the 11th North Auckland M.R. The main body of men left

N.Z. along with their horses on the 10th October, 1914,

arriving in Egypt 5th December. As the war started in

August, it took only two months for N.Z. to get its men

and horses aboard ship.

The Main Body were surprised when they were

separated from their horses in Egypt and sent to

Gallipoli where some 6oo of the Mounted men were

killed. As 17000 N.Z. men went overseas as members of

the Mounted Rifles, just as many horses went as well,

and my father tells in his diary of his horse being valued

and then loaded on the train for Wellington to be

shipped on the transports along with the owners.

Seasick soldiers and seasick horses were not a good mix

my father told me. As many as

80 horses from the Kaiwaka/

Mangawai/Hakaru area left

never to return, with my father

having two shot from under him

in Palestine after the debacle of

Gallipoli.”

MESSAGE OF HEARTFELT THANKS

Thank you to everyone in Kaiwaka and beyond who have

offered me their heartfelt love and support at this difficult

time of Lars’ passing. The hugs, baking and cooking,

flowers, tributes and messages of support have been

flooding in. Lars touched the lives of so many people that

it is impossible at this time to thank you all individually,

so a huge thank you to you all.

My sincere gratitude goes to the Fire Department and Am-

bulance crews and others who attended the accident.

I am fortunate to be surrounded by such caring people at

this very sad time.

Thank you.

Nina.

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Hello my friends. Well October turned

out to be our usual October weather.

Showery, cold, cloudy, partly cloudy,

warm, some nice sunny days. The

baby animals were loving it. That is

more than we can say for the South

Island and even southern North Island

in places. As I do this report our

weather seems to be warming up quite

nicely. NIWA predicts a very hot

summer so maybe you should think of

putting in another water tank or start

putting

your

water

orders

now. Very little rain in October so

maybe start cutting back now.

Rainfall at our house for 2018 was

120mm. and 2017 we had 144mm. We

had rain on 13 days of October this

year and 2017 we had rain on 16days.

The total for the first 10months of this

year was 1467mm and for 2017 was

1512mm. So already we are down on

last year. Our driest October since

1987 was 2000 with 17mm and our

wettest was 1989 with 249mm. Our

driest 10 months since 1987 was 1987

with 792mm and wettest 10months was

2017 with 1512mm. These readings are

what we recorded at our house and we

can see how much the readings vary as

we watch the rain going past and

through Kaiwaka when we sometimes

do not get any. Like it or not we are

already almost halfway through and

heading for the summer months in 2

1/2 weeks’ time.

Do they have a fourth of July in

England? Of course, they do and a 5th

and a 6th too etc., etc.

Take care out there and remember to use

those sunhats and sunscreen etc. Bev.

HOME FUND RAISER

Maungaturoto Community

Charitable Trust

On the evening of Saturday 27th

October, the Mangawhai Singers

travelled to Maungaturoto Country

Club to perform a medley of songs, to

an appreciative audience of approx.

150. They were treated to an array of

songs including from our own Bill

Cullen who is on the Fundraising

Committee of (MCCT). The audience

was blown away by the variety of

songs and pure professionalism of this

talented group.

The funds raised from this evening is

well over $4000.00 which is an

awesome addition to the fundraising

effort.

As you will be aware our goal is much

larger than this but with evenings like

this where the community gets to

partake in a lovely evening and is

helping with such a worthy cause, it is

a win/win.

The MCCT sincerely thank all the

members of the Mangawhai Singers,

Bill and the audience for providing

such a fun night.

deserving,

dedicated Secretary Jan Mann with

a Life Membership Award.

Congratulations Jan, and it was lovely

Here are some safety rules given to all

of us by Lena: -

1.Don't leave our cell phones plugged

in to charge overnight.

require that the Religious Instruction

occurs out of school hours. As most of

our students travel by bus, lessons after

school is not an option. All students

need their free play time at lunch time,

so this isn't an option either.

Secondly, all religions need to be given

the opportunity to provide instruction,

and this is not viable for our school.

Therefore, Bible in Schools will finish

up at the end of this year.

We thank our devoted Bible in Schools

leaders, Eddie and Lynne Coates and

all their team of teachers for their

service to our school and our children.

New Waka

Our new waka is finished as far as it

can be for the moment. The next step is

to construct and attach the big carvings

at each end. These are being specially

carved for our school and will be

beautiful. This is an amazing entrance

feature for our school and we thank

Benji Woodman for all the hard work

he has put into designing and

constructing our waka. Thanks to Andy

Lawrie who gave us a whole day to

sand and stain the waka. We also thank

Andy Lawrie, Laura Woodman, Blake

Worsfold and Dylan for planting the

area and Rural Design for donating the

beautiful trees and plants. We will have

a special blessing when it is complete.

ZONTA SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE AWARD

As always, I start with a big thanks to

the Hall Committee and Kaiwaka

Community Movie Teams for another

great year. We are all volunteers and

dedicated to keep the Hall and

finances, in good shape.

The Hall is a Community Asset and we

are put in charge to look after it ... a

responsibility we don’t take lightly.

Hall Bookings have gone up a lot this

year, so it’s good to see it being used,

so much so, that it pays to check out

availability early!!

What stood out this year:

The NEIL FINN CONCERT was a sell

-out concert - 250 (max capacity). Now

he is playing in Fleetwood Mac!!!

Another

one

was

KAIWAKA

SCHOOL LIP SYNC - filled to

capacity – awesome. Both were

impressed with the acoustics of the

Hall.

Leased out - all 5 Spaces/rooms in the

lean to building (ex-Medical centre).

A $7000 KDC grant was received for

the restoration of the Matai Floor in the

Hall. This will take place between 14

and 25 January 2019. This will be

AWESOME when finished. A Big

thanks to KDC.

KAIWAKA COMMUNITY

MOVIES:

Some numbers: Friday night movies

screened 33=1184 tickets (last year

859); Sunday Matinee Screened 12 =

320 tickets (last year 450); our two

MUSIC MOVIE SUPPER NIGHTS

and two DINNER MOVIE NIGHTS

were again very successful and enjoyed

by many.

What stood out: Highest attendance

Matinee - ‘Peter Rabbit’, 117; Highest

Friday Night - ‘The Guernsey

Literary

and Potato Peel

Pie

Society’

, 100.

All these activities generate funds to

pay our bills, e.g. Insurance, Rates,

Security, Power, Phone, Maintenance,

Building and Safety Compliance, and

Building WOF which take up a big

chunk of our money.

We also need to replace old equipment

where we see fit e.g. trestle tables,

water pumps, heaters, etc.

KWMH also paid for the Library

renovations - new ceiling, paint inside

and new carpet throughout.

To make the hall more useable as a

venue we have a wish list that includes

stage lighting, new stage curtains and

to ask Council to please upgrade

footpaths and parking in front of

Library/Hall and playground.

We also farewelled Penny and Alistair

Hoy who have moved to Taupo. They

were awesome volunteers for both the

committee and the Movie Team. They

were involved right from the start and

we will miss them and the amount of

work they did.

Again, thanks to all, it was a pleasure.

Best wishes for 2019, Ad Clarijs President

Did you see the

comments by the

Mayor Dr Jason

Smith, in the

latest “Lifestyler”?

"The planned upgrade of the current

roading infrastructure between Te

Hana and Whangarei, if it were to

proceed as indicated to the west of

the Brynderwyns, would direct

traffic

through

Maungaturoto

further increasing the potential for

growth in this area. This is the time

to not only

preserve what we have but to build

economic activities said Mayor

Smith. Maungaturoto has such

potential due to the foresight of

community leaders to create a

welcome mat for leaders of the

future."

What does this mean? Hard to know.

We know there is plenty of talking

going on at all sorts of levels. But as

yet nothing is set in concrete (or

asphalt)! And we are a very little town

with very few people and not really a

part of the very big discussion.

However it did make me think again

about the future of Kaiwaka (and lie

awake again as Kaiwaka Can often

does).

Imagine for a moment that this in fact

will be the outcome. State Highway

One through Kaiwaka becomes just our

main street. Tourists, trucks and all the

other current 12-15000 vehicles a day

speed past the outskirts of Kaiwaka at

100k. What would the impact be?

First impact could be felt at Shamrock

Service Station, no longer the first non

Auckland filling station. Then down to

the bakery, the Cheese Shop, the nearly

finished Eutopia. Three Furlongs has

redeveloped to accommodate truckies

who have to overnight, not much use if

the truckies tuck up in Maungaturoto

on the main state highway.

The Coffee Pot at the Gateway Motel

lives on the bus traffic stopping for

refreshment but won’t if there are no

buses...and I could go on but you get

the idea.

So if this is anything like a reality,

what could we do? Through the small

hours when my brain seems to hit top

gear, three responses came to me.

We could get depressed. What’s the

use? Give up fighting and get shutters

out to board the place up. Become like

so many small towns that used to be

mainstream throughout New Zealand?

Or we could get angry. Try and

change conversations and outcomes.

Start petitions, write angry letters,

lobby Council and politicians and get

in the ear of every power broker we

can find.

Or we can get busy. Whatever the

outcome, whatever the time we have,

work harder, smarter and better to

make this the best little town it can

possibly be and become. Some small

places are great places for people to go.

People get off cruise liners and bus

down to Hobbiton, a disused film set!

Others head for Paeroa just to get a

selfie in front of the L and P bottle.

Yes, there are plenty of places that

have challenged the future and won. So

for us we can get the lighting project

up and running to keep the dark future

away. Make it the cleanest and

greenest, the most creative and

courageous, the quaintest and quirkiest

little town possible so that visitors hear

about us and would even drive off the

big highway to find us and enjoy us.

I’ve decided this time to give Melton

Clark’s Memoirs a rest and tell one of

my own anecdotes.

I suppose anyone who has ever had a goat

will have a goat story, I have several, but

this is about Rags. She was a typical white

and dark tan Saanen breed with perhaps

more brain than is strictly necessary in a

goat. Saanen is identified mainly by the

long hair on the Darwin point of its ears;

the goat in sand storms uses these to

protect its eyes. Rags, as far as I can

remember was bought as a lawn-mower,

great at keeping the young gorse shoots

down in the main paddock. It was my habit

to chain a goat’s collar with two dog chains

to a car wheel complete with tyre; this

allowed the animal to find fresh grass but

stopped it short if it tried to get through the

lower fence wire. However, Rags, not

easily deterred, would slip the dog collar

and go her own way. I had been to the shop

for snacks one day, and found Rags, sitting

on the couch, calmly unperturbed by my

presence watching television. That wasn’t

so bad, but she had found the need to

dispatch ‘number two’ chocolate peanuts

on the carpet. Rags, was always a

character, but during a particularly wet

winter she developed a cold. I released her

into the calf pen. Sneezing and running

from the nose she went around the pen

backwards as if to get away from the slime

that clung to her face.

On the farm we had large sheds, in one I

was building a thirty- five-foot sloop, this

entailed daily bending over the diagonal

planking and fastening planks into wet

glue. To this end I wore an old knitted

jersey, always the same one, to protect my

shirt from the glue. The glue I was using

was known as Resorcinol, a goopy dark

reddish waterproof product. Since the

jersey was old and well past its use-by,

finding nothing else with sleeves, I put it

on Rags to keep the animal warm. The next

day I found Rags one hundred percent

cured, and not any sign of my jersey

anywhere in the pen, so I let her out,

hopefully not to watch TV. The old Mum

used to tell me when television first came

to our house not to watch it so much, sort

of like we tell today’s kids to get off their

electronic devices and do an outside

activity. She said it would give me ‘square

eyes’ a bit like a goat, made me laugh.

Anyway, a week later it was I who had a

cold, so I went to the pharmacy for

lozenges, bought

some and tossed

the packet on the

car

seat.

happened to read

the packet as my

throat was now

fine, the main

content of the

lozenges was Resorcinol.

About seven years old, I first discovered

the strange things animals might eat when

‘my old Dad’ got on his bike and went

down to the pig paddock. Whilst he was

mucking out, a pig ate the saddle bag off

his bike, it was made of pig skin, (note to

self- pigs will eat anything!) Over some

years I have added to the list: my horse

loved grapefruit, one of our dogs ate apples

and bananas, and you will probably know

other odd foods animals eat.

Some years ago, I was granted the special

privilege of visiting a Korean prisoner of

war camp, only recently closed. This was

not for the likes of tourists and as I saw the

horrible conditions, I was told by a proud

official that in all its history there had

never been an escape from the compound.

However, later I was told that on some

occasions the number of prisoners counted

was less than before and though recounted

the number over time slowly decreased.

Officers were puzzled by this since no

escapes had taken place, they investigated.

Finally, the cause was found. Unpopular

inmates were killed, dismembered and

dropped down the latrine which was two

planks, a gap in between over forty-four-

gallon tins with the tops removed. Then

when full the tins were sent to the pigs,

which were later killed to flavour the rice

gruel given the men to eat. This certainly

shows the innocence of animals when

compared to some people.
