A large crowd were at the

Kaiwaka Fire Station last

Friday night to watch the

new neon ladder lights.

After

disappointment

with the previous fading

lights,

folk

were

delighted

with

the

display.

Folk passing through will

soon see why we are ‘The

Little Town of Lights’ as

we renew our lights.

There is Give-a-little

page - Lighting up

The WIFE

Friday 14 December, 7.30pm (M)

Joan and Joe remain complements after

nearly 40 years of marriage. Where Joe is

casual, Joan is elegant. Where Joe is vain,

Joan is self-effacing. And where Joe

enjoys his very public role as the great

American novelist, Joan pours her

considerable intellect, grace, charm and

diplomacy into the private role of a great

man's wife. As Joe is about to be awarded

the Nobel Prize for his acclaimed and

prolific body of work, Joan starts to think

about the shared compromises, secrets .

The Mangawhai Walking

Weekend once again

welcomes walkers to the

Kaipara.

The organising team have just

completed the final arrangements for

the 20th annual Mangawhai Walking

Weekend. You will be able to find full

details from 1 December on the

website

www.mangawhaiwalking.co.nz

Readers will be pleased to know that

the popular “Romance of the Kaipara”

is once again featured.

Our visit will bring to life the

landscape that influenced novelist Jane

Mander, who wrote ‘The Story of a

New Zealand River’’ (recommended

prior reading). Further up the

peninsular we learn about the historic

Gittos family, original missionaries,

and visit their house little changed

from 1866. As there are a number of

‘rustic’ stiles and fences, plus steeper

pitches walking up the clear grass

ridges to the pa site, some agility is

required. Excellent views from the

top. An extra special afternoon tea

is included, with proceeds to the local

foodbank.

Throughout the weekend walkers of all

abilities are well catered for with over

30 events encompassing Kaiwaka to

Waipu to Goat Island.

We look forward to you checking out

the website and hope to see you in

March 2019.

ROTARY

In this, the last report of the year, the

Club can reflect positively on its two

new initiatives.

One, the sale of calf litter which will

provide funds for projects both here

and abroad, and is also a tribute to the

late Terry Hanna, whose idea it was.

The second is the driver mentoring

scheme which we run in conjunction

with Te Roroa.

To date we have had 100% success

enabling drivers to progress from their

Learners to Restricted. If interested in

having mentoring next year, please call

Te Roroa 0800 555 635.

During the past month we have been

visited by our District Governor, Jerry

Norman and his wife Fay. This evening

provided

insight

into

his

background and why he is so

passionate about Rotary. The night

turned into a feast of music with Jerry

on his guitar and our Assistant

Governor Peter on his cornet. We are

grateful for the effort these people

make to ensure they get to all 42 Clubs

in our District (which covers from

Vanuatu and other Pacific Islands to

the North Shore.)

As a continuation of the Alumni month

we had ex MP Belinda Vernon talk to

us. It was interesting to note the many

facets of Rotary that had impacted on

her life from the time she was a Rotary

Youth Leadership Candidate until now.

Graham Gough also spoke to us about

the Group Study Exchange he was

involved with in 1988. In both cases it

was mentioned that friendships have

been maintained from these initial

contacts within Rotary.

By the time you read this we will have

had the Seniors’ Afternoon Tea in

Kaiwaka. This is a great way to end the

year (and celebrate those who have

given so much to our community. We

are grateful for Maura Flower and her

singers who were willing to provide

entertainment.

Thank you to all who have supported

our Club during the past year and we

wish you all very Merry Christmas.

Enjoy your time with family and

friends.

ILLUMINATE JAMBOREE

You may be aware of this Venturer

Jamboree which is taking place in

Kaiwaka from 31

December. While

there is no need for people to help, we

have been requested to find sofas, large

carpet squares and board games for this

event. They will need to cover both a

squash and a tennis court with the

carpet. If you are able to provide any of

the above, please give Eileen a call on

0211420357. It would be preferable to

collect these from the middle of

December on but if you want to get rid

of them now we will

attempt to arrange storage.

OTAMATEA

COMMUNITY

SERVICES

SENIORS’ LUNCH - Wow! The

Otamatea Primary School Kapa Haka

group entertained and raised the roof.

Everyone loved it, it was just amazing.

It is obvious that they spend many

hours learning, because it shows -

they’re so, so good, it caused goose

bumps and the odd tear was spotted in

the eye of the parents and grandparents,

which is understandable - they’d be so

proud. Thank you to everyone who is

involved in that group, we will ask you

to come back one day in the New Year.

This month will be the Christmas lunch

and there will not be one in January, so

come along on the first Wednesday of

February for a day out with morning

tea, lunch, and a great opportunity to

meet new people or catch up with your

friends and neighbours.

WHITE RIBBON DAY - By now the

day will have come and gone. This

universally recognised day is to show

that violence is not acceptable -

towards women, men, children; in the

home or not. We all try to make a

difference and continue to undertake

training in this area.

YOUR COMMUNITY HOUSE - We

are available Monday to Friday, 9am to

3pm. Phone us on 431 9080 or call in

to enquire about our free services

which include Parent Coaching,

Counselling, Financial Mentoring,

Family/ Whanau Support.

FREE SHOPPING TRIPS - We want

to remind everyone that there is a free

shopping trip on the second Tuesday of

every month, and another one on the

fourth Wednesday of the month. The

mini-bus goes to Whangarei, stopping

at major supermarkets, Farmers,

Bunnings, or wherever you would like

to go. If anyone wants to go to

Dargaville, Warkworth, Wellsford for a

shopping trip, this can be arranged as

well. Please use this service. Phone us

on 431 9080 for enquiries or to book

your seat.

communitysupport@otamateacs.org.nz

We wish everyone a peaceful, safe and

happy Christmas.

RALLY SUCCESS

Louis Prouting, 25, on his first attempt

at the Northern Rally Sprint Series

2018 and first time using pace notes

called by his co-driver Leighton

Spurdle, won 2nd equal in class B

(1301cc - 1600cc) in his Toyota

Corolla. Of the six rounds in the series,

one round no points due to clutch

failure and another round suffered a

soft roll-over onto the roof! His first

words to his co-driver were, “well, this

is not ideal".

Without those two mishaps, fair to

surmise that he could have been higher

up on the points tally. Such is life.

RIVERVIEW REST HOME

The Enduring Journey

Who runs the Rest Home and how did

it start?

As you may know, Riverview Rest

Home is currently fundraising for the

extension of the existing 16-bed

facility to add a much needed 14 bed

dementia unit and eventually hospital

level care.

With the closure of the town’s Post

Office back in 1989. Funds were raised

with the help of Lions and the local

Fire brigade to purchase the Post

Office and former postmasters house.

In 1991, the refurbished Post Office

had become the ‘Maungaturoto

Medical Centre’. The house was

retained as it was positioned next to

the then Council owned retirement

village.

A concept plan in 1993, investigated

the establishment of a rest home for

the district, which led to the formation

Maungaturoto

Community

Charitable Trust (M C C T).

M C C T proceeded to raise funds from

within the community, support from

ASB Trust and Lottery Aged. The Rest

Home was built and officially opened a

16-bed home, on the site adjacent to

the Medical Centre, in July 1994. By

April 1998, the Trust had settlement

and

now

administered

the

Maungaturoto Retirement Village from

the KDC, this is situated on land

originally donated by the late Mr and

Mrs L Ball.

Who is behind M C C T today?

The Trustees are; Craig Fergus

(Chairman), Don McKay (former

Chairman), Nona Rogers, Dave

Marquet, Warren Butterworth, Alison

Robinson, Graham Slatter, Jamie

Ewan.

Illuminate is nearly here!

Around 1,200 Venturers will be

camping at our Sports Complex over

New Years and into January. Nearly

half are from Australia but there will

also be Venturers from Canada,

Finland, Sweden and Italy attending,

along with leaders from Canada and

the UK.

During the second week (6 - 11

January) there will be 45 minivans and

a number of buses coming and going

on a daily basis taking participants to

activities from bungy jumping off the

Auckland

Harbour

Bridge

sightseeing at the Hole in the Rock.

They will also be doing many of our

local attractions as well, such as

Kawau Island, Goat Island, mountain

biking, hiking and kayaking.

Caterers are bringing an entire kitchen

with them to provide 3,600 meals a day

and a giant marque will be erected over

our tennis courts to form the dining

area. An extra 40 toilets and a couple

of shower blocks will be erected on our

grounds to cope with the numbers. Plus

they have a medical team which will be

in operation 24/7 which includes

doctors, nurses, paramedics and

psychologists.

Please note: access to the KSA plus

the school will be restricted to

Illuminate people only during this time.

This is going to be huge! It's very

exciting for us – the biggest event

we've ever hosted! And the massive

influx of people into Kaiwaka will be a

real boon for our local businesses.

Hawks Women's Rugby

Wonderful to have a Women's Rugby

club starting up. Female of all ages are

Who wants to play Summer Touch?

Our Touch Module will be held at the

January. This is a social Module for

mixed teams of men, women and

children. If you'd like to enter a team,

contact me for the registration form.

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 stocking

stuffer for Xmas. Contact me on

cherylanderson051@gmail.com

place an order.

Free Firewood

If you're after some free firewood, help

yourself to the trees which have been

cut down alongside the KSA driveway.

Lawnmower Raffle

WIN !! A Husqvarna lawnmower

valued at $650. Very kindly donated by

Steve and Matt from Kaiwaka

Motorcycles. Buy a raffle ticket: $5 per

ticket or 3 for $12. Will be drawn on

December (what a fabulous Xmas

treat!)

cherylanderson051@gmail.com with

how many tickets you'd like to buy and

I'll let you know the KSA's bank

account number so you can pay online.

Sunglasses Fundraiser

Sunny weather is here! If you're

wanting to upgrade your sunglasses,

please consider our fundraiser. We

have partnered with Le Tissier and

COUNCILLOR’S

COMMENT*

Councillor Jonathan Larsen

Gibbons Road

Earlier in the year I made enquiries to

Council about when the slip on

Gibbons Road was going to be fixed.

Eventually the answer I got back was

that it was ranked number 49 in the

district and wouldn’t be fixed in the

next three years. The slip is

immediately adjacent to the creek with

no barrier of any consequence, and

there has already been a serious injury

crash there earlier in the year.

I have asked Council to look into this

issue again and see if it can be

reprioritised to be fixed sooner.

The chief operating officer (COO) has

agreed to have the roading team review

the prioritisation of this being fixed. I’ll

keep you updated on progress.

Central Kaiwaka linkages

The Council consultation on the Long

Term Plan ((LTP), i.e. the ten year

budget that is reviewed every three

years) included a proposal for foot

bridges on the western side of both

SH1 bridges in Kaiwaka. This was all

assumed to be going ahead but as it

turned out the project had somehow

mysteriously disappeared from the

programme of approved works in the

final LTP. I have had a meeting with

the CEO and COO to find a solution

that will meet community expectations

around this. I have asked for subsidy

for the two foot bridges and a linking

footpath to be applied for. The normal

NZTA subsidy is 61%, but there is an

additional 20% available for safety

works. With the amount of traffic on

SH1 and absence of crossings it seems

reasonable to have this considered as a

safety improvement. If the bid is

successful, this means that Council

would only need to come up with 19%

of the cost. Council have agreed to

develop a business case for NZTA’s

consideration, so fingers crossed on this

one.

Oneriri Road/ SH 1 intersection

The proximity of this intersection to the

Southern bridge combined with the

ever-increasing traffic volume on SH1

mean this continues to be an issue. This

is especially so for south-bound traffic

turning right into Oneriri Rd. I have

previously raised this issue with NZTA

(who operate SH1) and they have

indicated no interest in remedying the

situation. It seems therefore that the

only way to deal with this is for

Council (which operates Oneriri Rd), to

take the lead. I have managed to get

some initial investigations underway to

determine how best to relocate the

intersection further away from the

bridge. I will keep pushing this matter

along.

If you have any community projects or

issues that you would like assistance with, I

can be contacted on Ph. 0211858389 or

Cr.Larsen@kaipara.govt.nz. Check out my

‘The WorkBoot Councillor’ Facebook page

for regular updates.

LAST PUSH BEFORE

CHRISTMAS

We all know what it is

like as everything seems

to ramp up before

Christmas and we end up with list

afterlist of things to do before we

collapse in a heap on Boxing Day.

It feels a bit the same with Kaiwaka

Can

(Incorporated

now).

Our

November meeting covered a range of

projects and some of them are in full

swing for action right away.

The Weed Team has done a great job

mapping out weed types and location,

negotiating with Northern Regional

Council and now have a working bee

planned for December 1

- see the ad

on page 3. Our aim is to make the

green of Kaiwaka good green and not

weed green and we need the help of

the whole community.

The Little Town of Lights renewal

team is working as hard as it can to get

at least some of our lights either newly

installed or back up and running, using

greatly updated technology. There are

some exciting ideas and their work is

greatly appreciated as we try and make

Kaiwaka more illuminated before the

Scout Jamboree which is called

“Illuminate”. We look for help from

all of you, either giving (Give-a-little

Page called Lighting up Kaiwaka

Again), offering skills that may be

helpful (welding, putting lights on

frames) and lighting up your own

street

frontage,

especially

for

Christmas so that people passing

through can see why we are The Little

Town of Lights.

By the time this is printed, we will

have held an informal supper evening

to remember Lars and his contribution

to Kaiwaka and officially switched on

the light ladder at the Fire Station,

which Lars designed and donated.

The Kaiwaka Central project, aiming

to make the most of the land each side

of the southern bridge, is onhold while

sources of funding for the foot bridges

are explored. Thanks to Jonathan

Larsen our local councillor for the

effort he is putting into making this

happen.

The welcome sculptures each end of

town haven’t been forgotten but we

have a mass of red tape to

workthrough to be able to go ahead.

Seems like a fact of life these days.

But we are now incorporated, have a

bank account, have gifted and

hardworking teams in place and look

forward to making an impact before

Christmas and even more in the new

year.

There is still plenty of room for new

members and interested supporters.

You are always welcome at our

meetings whether you are a member or

not. ~

Kia Ora!

We are coming to the end of another

year and wanted to let you know what

we have planned at Church for the rest

of 2018.

Guest Speaker Pastor Guy Cohen from

Israel

Tuesday 27th November at 6.15pm

Guy Cohen will be speaking at Church

during his 2-day tour of New Zealand.

The Pastor of a Messianic Jewish

Congregation in Akko, Israel, Cohen

will be speaking on destroying the age-

old altars of idol worship in his

homeland and building the altars of

worship to Yeshua (God)! http://

harvestofasher.org

Sun 2nd December 10am - Child

Dedication Service

We will be dedicating our precious

children and babies into the hands of

God. If you have a child that you wish

to be dedicated, please let one of our

Pastors know.

Sun 9th December 10am - Children's

Service & Nativity Play

This year Tala, Fiona and the Kids

Church have been putting together a

very special service for us all to enjoy!

Bring your family and get the camera

as the Kids have some special things

planned, including a nativity play.

Sun 16th December 10am -

Celebration Service

This will be our last Service of 2018,

join us as we celebrate the Birth of

Jesus and all he has done in our lives

this year! Please bring a plate as we

will enjoy a BBQ lunch afterwards.

Church will be closed over the

Christmas and New year period; the

first service of 2019 will be Sunday

16th January.

Pastor Paul, Pastor Tawhiri and their

families wish you a peaceful and joy

filled holiday season and the Lords

presence upon you!.

ADVENT IN and OF

ITSELF IS

WAITING FOR AN

ARRIVAL

It can be hard to seek Christmas and

experience the season of Advent and

harder still to do so with the children in

our lives. There’s so much to balance

and think through:

– How many gifts do you give? Do you

follow a formula like need/want/wear/

read? Do you give three gifts like the

wise men brought Jesus?

– Why bother decorating when the tiny

tornadoes will come through behind

you?

– How do you balance the secular with

the sacred of the season?

Besides all the technical aspects, how

do we give and teach our kids about

the season of Advent, of seeking and

celebrating Christmas, when we barely

have time to do so ourselves?

Advent is an excellent time to learn

about waiting. We wait to celebrate

Jesus’ birthday, just like we wait to

celebrate our own birthdays. We wait

for a break from school. We wait for

good things to bake. In both small- and

large-scale ways, we are always

waiting, and that’s hard to do. My kids

are still super little, but even if your

children are grown or in college or

school-age, the principles apply.

No matter what your age, kid or

grownup, waiting is hard. And God

built waiting and anticipating directly

into the season of Advent. The word

itself is defined as “the arrival of a

notable person, thing, or event,” with

its roots in the Latin for “arrival, to

come.”

Advent in and of itself is waiting for

an arrival.

Learning to wait is a virtue, and one

that our instantly gratified culture

doesn’t lend itself to. All around us are

signals that we are late, that we are

behind, that we are put off by the

thought or posture of waiting. But God

built it right into the DNA of

Christmas,

and

have

the

opportunity to help the kids in our lives

learn this skill and learn about the

season of waiting.

‘The Shepherd on the Search’ is one of

my favorite ways to help my kids learn

about waiting.

New library cards

Do you have your new library card

yet? We've given out more than 100 of

them so far! If you don't have yours

yet, come in and show us your old

card, and we will replace it with a

bright shiny new one for free. It works

just the same as the old one, but gives

us more abilities to gather statistics,

especially in regard to online

borrowings. It also comes with a handy

snap-off tag that you can put on your

keyring - the tag has its own bar code

on it, so if you have your keys to hand

you can scan that tag instead of fishing

around for your wallet, and then

finding that elusive card inside that's

doing its best to hide from you. If you

can't find your old card that's okay - we

can still replace it with a new one, just

bring some ID (like a driver's licence)

to show you're you in case you're not

personally known to the volunteer on

duty that day; we can look your name

up in the system. Changing from an old

card to a new one is free.

Free online services

If you use any of our free online

services

Libby/Overdrive,

BorrowBox, Wheeler's ePlatform, or

RB Digital magazines - and have a new

library card, you will need to log in to

the service again using the new number

on the card. Your PIN remains the

same (go to Enterprise* - http://

kaipara.kotui.org.nz/ - to change it

yourself, contact me, or ask at the

library volunteer on duty to change it).

Creating reading lists

Did you know that you can create lists

of books from the

library catalogue? Log

in to your account in

Enterprise*, and as you

discover books you

might want to borrow

one day, you can select

them and add to a list.

This means you can

save titles as you come

across them, and then

find them easily again

later on - to select from

the shelves next time

you're in the library, or

place a hold and we'll

pull it from the shelves

and put it aside for you,

even if the book

belongs to another

library in the district. If

you'd like some help

with this, contact me.

Dargaville book swap

The next swap with

Dargaville Library is

on 4 December. Come

and take a good look at

those shelves now 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

in the meantime - 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 -

see the contact details below.

School holidays

The kids don't have to go without

books over the holidays just because

their school library is closed. Come in

to our library, and they can borrow

from our shelves using a parent's

library card, or they can apply for their

own card at Enterprise*. Under-18s do

not need to supply the identification

adults are asked to show, they just need

to select Junior Membership in the

online form. New titles are coming on

to our shelves regularly for the kids at

the moment - I have a bit of a backlog

of junior books in the office, which I'm

giving priority so they're ready for the

holidays.

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

SETTLEMENT ROAD RESERVE

After months of preparation by the Kaipara District Council picnic tables have finally been installed at the Settlement

Road reserve on the corner of SH1. The plantings, concrete path and solid tables are a big improvement on the previous

condition of the reserve.

~ Anne

Friendship between artists has always

been inspiring; in this marvellous

exhibition we see two shows of

stunning art brought together by

friendship, celebrating people, family

and place. Rebecca, fresh out of art

school and teaching college, was

Tracey’s art teacher and set the

foundations for Tracey’s career in art

(‘what a role model!’ says Tracey).

Twenty-one years of being friends,

encouraging each other in art practice,

working towards the goal of exhibiting

has resulted in a remarkable, stunning

exhibition at Mangawhai Artists

Gallery.

The artists describe their styles as

wildly

different,

however,

their

painterly mix of colourful familiar

images, the love of people and place,

unify this exhibition. Tracey’s work in

‘Willow Garden’ stems from her

journey from Auckland to Paparoa

with her young family. Tracey explains

‘my husband and I moved back into

my family home on the Kaipara

Harbour and I found that old and new

memories started to merge, flourish

and grow much like an overgrown

summer garden. In ‘Scratching the

Surface’,

Rebecca

began

interviewing people to create a

snapshot of the people we live

alongside and for us, the viewers, to

connect with the essence of humanity

and share stories as we relate to the

paintings.

This is an exciting exhibition by two

local artists and friends who have

decided to show together this year and

hope to do so again in the future – we

hope they do as well!

There has been an explosion in sales of sunscreens with a

high SPF, such as factor 50, which people assume will give

them more protection than products with a lower

SPF. What’s not as widely known, however, is that

products with a high SPF…

Expose the skin to a greater amount of actives, but offer

only slightly more UVB protection (93% vs. 97%).

That’s a trade-off most people aren’t willing to make once

they understand it. You are using twice the amount of active

ingredients but only getting an extra 4% protection. Even

the highest SPF could never give you 100% protection.

So, the answer is an SPF30 does not give you twice the

protection (please see chart) There is even a school of

thought that says you shouldn’t completely block your skin

but rather allow it to build a little bit of its own protection.

However, if you burn easily or your lifestyle dictates that

you spend a lot of time in the sun, then a higher SPF is

recommended. But if you work indoors and only need

protection going to and from work then an SPF 15 may be

sufficient.

When choosing a sun screen, please look for one with a

broad-spectrum protection guarding against both UVB and

UVA and understand how much UVA protection it offers as

the SPF only refers to protection against UVB. Remember

while UVB burns, UVA is the more insidious rays causing

pre-mature ageing.

The biggest misuse of sunscreen is not putting enough on,

so don’t skimp. It’s important to re-apply if you perspire or

if you have been in the water.

I recommend that you apply sun screen over the top of your

moisturiser or I personally like to mix my moisturiser and

sunscreen and apply them at the same time, this way I

ensure that I have sunscreen around my eyes, down my

neck and décolletage.

Here’s

wishing

you

wonderful holiday season. Be

sun wise as it’s better to protect

your skin than to deal with sun

damage and pre-mature ageing

later on.

GLEANINGS FROM THE GRAVEYARD.

By Bevan Lawrence

In Latin countries the substitute for

Halloween is ‘the Day of the Dead’.

This is where relatives respect the

dead, not make fun of them.

Remembering our dead, I recently had

occasion to go to the local cemetery to

lift and secure a very large marble

stone for my wife’s’ family. The stone

reads: Sacred to the memory of

Susannah Clayton (formerly Clark)8th

May 1895 Age 75 years. My wife

during the time of her first marriage

visited this grave of her Great

Grandmother with her mother and very

young son. She liked the name

Susannah and, being pregnant at the

time, decided to name her new

daughter after her. Two years after the

birth, baby Susanna died in Italy and is

resting in a Milanese Cemetery. Earlier

this month, during the ‘Day of the

Dead’ the story about this little girl was

aired on Italian television. To find out

why it is so interesting, and touching

go to http/www.thelippodcast.kiwi/

blog/2017/7/19/episode-8-nadias-

promise.

Whilst in our local graveyard, I

happened to notice a really new

headstone with a story dating back to

the Crimean war in the Balkans 1853 -

1856. This conflict ended with Russia

eventually suing for peace. The

Ottoman Empire allied with France,

Britain and Sardinia fought for

Christian rights over lands

taken by Russia. Stories such

as the ‘Charge of the Light

Brigade’

and

Florence

Nightingale came from that

war as did explosive naval

shells and telegraph. At a lull

in the battle Karl Marx

quipped “there they are, the

French doing nothing and the

British helping them as fast as

possible”.

The headstone was erected just last

week by the grandchildren of Dan

Bowmar to respect the man known to

many as Jimmy Holloway- 1846 to

1928. As a ten-year-old, he was a

‘powder monkey’ aboard a ship when

he first started work. (A powder boy or

monkey was one who, being small,

could race between decks and was less

of a target for sharp shooters. He was

usually given to the navy by poor

parents who could not afford to keep

him. These boys carried the gun

powder

cartridge

between

the

munitions store and the guns, primarily

during the age of sail.) Jimmy, a

bachelor, had no known relatives, and

lived until 82 years old, in a shanty on

Dan Bowmar’s land.

Because he worked for Dan driving

wagons, they became great, long time

friends, he took essential supplies to

the men and returned with washed,

weighed and recorded gum delivering

it to Mangawhai Wharf for shipping.

So, for ninety years a single stick

labelled ‘Holloway 1846...’ marked the

spot. I commend the grandchildren on

this magnificent gesture to a local man

of distinction.
