WEATHER

Well Wayne how was that, ask and ye

shall be given, have you had enough

rain for now?

As I write up this report it is all but 2

and a half weeks to Christmas Day.

Over November we had a lot of wind,

partly cloudy and rain and those very

annoying showers.

We recorded for November 2018

86mm rain and for 2017 we recorded

60mm. For November 2018 we had

rain on 11 days and for 2017 rain on 8

days. Our total for the first 11 months

of 2018 we recorded 1637mm and for

2017 1658mm.

Our driest November since 1987 was

1994 with 20mm and our wettest

was1999 with 340mm. Our driest first

11 months of any year since 1987 was

1994 with 888mm, and our wettest 11

months was 1990 with 1938mm.

I have not heard the predictions for

Christmas Day weather-wise yet. One

thing is for sure though it all depends

where you live. It would be great for

the summer holidays and swarming

visitors to our northerly regions to have

a good 3 weeks weather at least.

Please, please remember to take care

on those roads. We have had enough

sadness around our district over the last

few months. Remember our roads are

two-way carriages and they must be

driven accordingly. Go out have fun

and be kind to each other.

Q. What is a sheep's favourite

Christmas song? A. Fleece Navidad.

Christmas greetings to you all, happy

festive season or however it stands

with you. ~ Bev.

I wish everyone a Merry

Christmas, and may all

your wishes and dreams

come true.”

THEATRE

Otamatea Repertory Theatre's

recent production of the Ben

was enjoyed by audiences of all ages.

Director Brittany Dyer was ably

assisted by her brother Haydn Dyer,

who was the Musical Director. The

young cast had lots of fun rehearsing

and their enthusiasm and energy shone

through in their performances.

One theatre-goer exclaimed, “

Well

done on a fabulous show!!!! I'm so glad

that I managed to catch it. All

your hard work has paid off. It had me

laughing, singing, booing and cheering

throughout.”

Of all the Christmas parties ever held,

this one would have to have been the

most unusual.

Christmas Eve 1914 saw World War I

in progress in France. Tens of

thousands were being killed and

wounded week by week in the muddy

nightmare. It was now Christmas.

As the night drew on, the men thought

wistfully of families and friends

celebrating at home. The whole idea of

Christmas made this war seem so

terribly evil.

Then suddenly, at 10.30 pm, the

German artillery stopped ﬁring.

What were the Germans up to now,

they wondered? Then the allied guns in

the rear became abruptly quiet.

The men in the trenches waited

anxiously in the strange silence that

settled over the Front.

Then the incredible news came

through. The German High Command

had asked for a truce for Christmas.

At ten minutes before l2 midnight,

military bugles sounded the ceaseﬁre ...

the truce was ofﬁcial.

From both sides ﬂares lit the jet-black

sky. As the allied soldiers watched,

they saw grey clad Germans clamber

out of their trenches without weapons

of any kind.

Then the sound of a familiar carol

started wafting across the front ...

‘Silent Night, Holy Night’.

In a kind of stunned awe, the Allied

soldiers came out of their trenches too,

and eventually started joining in, in

English.

Engineers from both sides started

attacking the barbed wire ... and

moments later men from both sides

poured through the gaping holes and

reached out their hands to greet each

other like long-lost mates.

Whenever possible, interpreters helped

out, but in some strange way language

didn’t seem to matter.

Happily, they showed each other

photographs of loved ones at home.

Allies produced cans of jam and cans

of beef, while the Germans, long

sausages.

Chaplains of both sides arranged

services and Germans and Allied

soldiers

celebrated

communion

together.

After it was over, they joined hands

and sang ‘Blest be the tie that binds’.

The warm comradeship continued long

after the day broke and through into the

early morning. Just before noon it

started to snow, and they all headed

back to their trenches for cover. Only

too soon it was over.

The Allied artillery moved into action

again and once more the awful killing

was under way. The truce hadn’t lasted

long - just 12 quiet hours in four years

of violent bloodshed.

This amazing event wonderfully

pictured what Christmas is all about.

Christmas comes at the time of the

year when our lives are tired and

tattered rather than quiet and

peaceful. The birth of Jesus was all

about bringing peace to a world that

knows very little about peace - peace

in the home, community and yes,

even in our own lives.

When

we exchange

gifts this

Christmas, we are acknowledging the

greatest gift of all in the person of

God’s Son Jesus Christ. Obviously, it

goes without saying that Christmas has

much more meaning when you have a

personal relationship with Jesus Christ

~ Ref. Challenge Weekly

ARMISTICE DAY - 11 November 2018

REMEMBRANCE CROSSES

Below are pictured six of the crosses remembering those from the Kaiwaka

community who died while serving in World War I. Pam and Mark Ottaway

searched the rows and rows of the 18,000 crosses at the Auckland War Museum.

They said it was very difficult as the crosses were not in alphabetical order and

many names were the same or similar - one needed to know the soldier’s serial

number. The fifteen Kaiwaka soldiers who died are recorded on the Kaiwaka War

Memorial Hall Honours Board and on the front doors.

What a fantastic response from our

amazing community, not only the

dedicated team members of MMCT,

but more importantly the support and

generosity of the whole Otamatea

district.

On Thursday 29th November by 5 am

the vehicles started to arrive at the St

John station to set up for the mornings

fundraising

breakfast

and

entertainment. By 6 am the Rapid

Relief Trailer’s team lead by Richard

Wearmouth, was ready for action. The

first order of thirty breakfasts was

quickly ready by the amazing skills of

the team and ready to be delivered by

the Paparoa Lions, from then on, the

crew worked like a well-practiced team

until the last order was delivered at

10.00am.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, another

team led by Pam Chapman was

efficiently providing the plated sit-

down breakfast. Between these two

teams over 600 meals were provided to

the well-supported fundraiser. The

committee

MMTC

was

overwhelmed by not only those who

bought the breakfasts but the amazing

spirit by those who gave time and

produce, including:

Richard Wearmouth and the Rapid

Relief Team, the kitchen cookers,

Paparoa Lions, mail delivery people,

our

local

business

KAIPARA DOG

TRAINING CLUB

Kaipara Dog Training Club’s Term 4

is coming to a close. The handlers and

dogs who have attended the Pet Dog

Manners course will be concluding

their training with an assessment for

the Canine Good Citizens Basic award.

Agility courses were also held during

the term. These covered various levels

of ability, from beginner through to

coaching for the more advanced

members.

So far, this season competing Club

members have attended events at

Akarana,

Manukau,

Whangarei,

Norwest, North Shore and Hibiscus

Coast. On December 1st, the Club

hosted its annual Ribbon Day, an

informal competition day which

provides

valuable

competition

experience

low-pressure

environment for all Club members.

Being a small club, we were assisted

by members of the Whangarei Dog

Club with whom we have a reciprocal

arrangement to support each other’s

events.

The help is truly appreciated as there is

always a lot of equipment to be moved

at the start and end of the day and

between competitions. Despite a

forecast predicting heavy rain and

strong winds, the event went ahead and

fortunately the weather turned out to

be reasonable for the day.

Term 4 will finish with a prize giving

but the Club will almost immediately

dive into 2019 with gusto, presenting

its regular showcase demonstrations at

the Mangawhai Domain Gala Day on

January 2nd.

Doggie Day Out

A few days later, on January 5th, the

Club will host a Doggie Day Out.

This family friendly event has free

admission to the grounds where you

can register to enter competitions:

Doggie Dress Up, Doggie Tricks and

Musical Sit, and games for the children

and

dogs.

There

will

demonstrations, refreshments and stalls

with dog related merchandise and

services. A great day out for all the

family, but we respectfully ask in the

interests of safety that children under

13 be accompanied by a parent or

guardian and all dogs be kept on a lead

and under control at all times. Visit our

Facebook Page (Kaipara Dog Training

Club) for the latest updates.

Hope to see you there!

Representation review

In October I wrote about Council’s rep-

resentation review – this is the process

by which the wards and number of

Councillors’ are decided. Following

submissions and hearings Council de-

cided to proceed with its initial proposal

as its final proposal to cut Kaiwaka and

Mangawhai off as a separate ward, and

have four wards, each with two Council-

lors. I opposed this approach for three

primary reasons.

The first reason was that I believe this

will marginalise the Kaiwaka/ Man-

gawhai area with only two Councillors

out of the eight in the district. At present

there are three Councillors (representing

the Otamatea ward, which includes Kai-

waka and Mangawhai), and the popula-

tion growth has been such that four

Councillors are justified.

My second reason is that it divides the

community of interest linkages between

Kaiwaka and Maungaturoto including

the Kaiwaka Primary School

link with Otamatea High

School. This is one of the key

considerations that is sup-

posed to be taken in to account in these

decisions.

The third reason is that the fourward

proposal operates right at the margin of

the allowable number of residents per

councillor for the new Kaiwaka/ Man-

gawhai ward. The allowable variance is

+/- 10% and using the old population

figures it is already at +9.55%. This

means that the boundary would need to

keep being adjusted, moving incremen-

tally from the Brynderwyn corner to-

wards Maungaturoto at each review as

the Eastern population continues to

grow.

To cut a long story short, four appeals

against this decision were lodged by the

closing date, and the matter will now be

investigated and decided by the Local

Government Commission, which will

release its decision by 11 April 2019.

The new ward structure will be used at

the next local body election.

When will that dreaded water tank

rule be gone?

Many of you will have heard of, or been

affected by, the district plan rule requir-

ing every new house to have extra water

tanks dedicated for firefighting. After a

battle running over several years, in-

cluding an appeal of the decision by

FENZ, agreement has finally been

reached to remove this requirement from

the rules. The agreement has now been

signed off by the Environment Court

and no appeals of that decision were

received by the deadline.

This means that the new rules (not re-

quiring dedicated water tanks) will be-

come operative as of 18 December

2018. Council is working through the

issues around how to deal with historical

consents that required dedicated tanks

and will communicate the process

around this in the New Year. I will con-

tinue to lobby for further hassles and

costs to ratepayers to be minimised in

fixing up the past consent requirements.

Pukenui Road culvert

I have been chasing up the issue of the

blocked Pukenui Road culvert which

results in road metal washing across

Oneriri Road when it rains. According

to the response received, Council has

tried to fix this issue six times in the past

two years without success. It is appar-

ently a complex issue as “there are other

structures involved and upstream pres-

sures adding increased stress on the as-

set performance”. Council applied to

NZTA for funding for a permanent fix

which would see a new culvert installed

running diagonally across Oneriri Road,

but this funding was declined. The road-

ing team are now going to review the

priority of this issue, so hopefully we

will see this re-prioritised in the New

Year and fixed as soon as possible.

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSOCIATION

Farewell Gymnastics Otamatea

Last week, our Gymnastics Otamatea

club held their very last day. The

gymnasts showed off their skills to the

crowd, then were presented with their

badges and certificates.

A huge thank you to Stephanie Brown

who has run this large club for 13

years!

Stephanie, aided by her family, has run

Gymnastics Otamatea in a very

professional and capable way, and she

has given so many children in our

district the opportunity to develop their

gymnastics skills. Stephanie was

presented with gifts from the coaches,

the KSA and the parents. Thank you,

Stephanie!

Illuminate is nearly here!

Our biggest event ever is now just

around the corner! Over 1,200

Venturers will be camping at our

Sports Complex over New Years and

into January. The organisation of this

massive event is ramping up, with the

Scouting planning team of 30 coming

up to Kaiwaka most weekends.

Can you help? We are wanting any

donated sofas and lounge chairs, and

are happy to collect these if needed.

Another reminder: the entire Sports

Complex + the school grounds will be

accessible to Illuminate participants

ONLY from 31st December until 11th

January.

Basketball – coach the coaches

Want to learn how to develop young

Basketball players? Come along to our

gymnasium on 20th December, 4 –

6pm for Kiwihoops. Kiwihoops

provides coaches, teachers, parents,

volunteers and administrators with a

systematic and consistent approach to

the development of players. Register at

northlandbball@gmail.com .

Sunglasses Fundraiser

Sunny weather is here! If you are

wanting to upgrade your sunglasses,

please consider our fundraiser. We

have partnered with Le Tissier and

when people buy sunglasses through

their website they will donate 20% to

the KSA. Their Sunwear collection

offers eye catching style and the

functionality of high quality acetate

with lenses that offer 100% UV

polarised protection. Many styles are

suitable for prescription lenses. Visit

www.letissier.co.nz and enter the code

KSA at the checkout. Thank you for

your support.

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

paramedic’s 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 and I

can drop them off to you.

Otamatea Tennis Tournament

Our annual tennis tournament will be

held at our courts over Anniversary

Weekend.

This tournament attracts top quality

players from all over Northland and

Auckland and we also have places for

locals to compete. So dust off that

racquet and get in some practice! For

any tournament enquiries, please

contact Grant on 021 02570322.

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.

cherylanderson051@gmail.com

with

how many tickets you would like to

buy, and I will let you know the KSA’s

bank account number so you can pay

online.

Badminton

Our Badminton club will continue to

hold their Club Nights on Tuesdays

from 7pm, until 18th December when

the season will end with a fun

Christmas night. After a break over

Christmas and the New Year, they will

start again on 15th January.

Basketball

Primary

Schools

Competition

Lots of excited cheering in our

gymnasium last Thursday with the

finals of the Kaipara Basketball

Primary School competition. A very

lively final, with Ruawai Primary just

scraping in for the win by 1 point! Well

done to Ray, Blake, Amy and crew for

running an enjoyable

competition.

Thank you

Many thanks to all the

Kaiwaka

Sports

Association committee

members

and

club

committee

members

who have worked hard

throughout the year to

provide sporting and

recreational

opportunities for our

community.

On behalf of the

Kaiwaka

Sports

Association I would like

to wish everyone a

Merry Christmas and a

Happy New Year.

Kaiwaka Can has now been going

more than four years. I haven’t counted

up how many articles have appeared in

The Bugle, but I still meet locals who

don’t know we exist. It is worth asking

then whether our existence makes any

difference in our small township.

As I drive round Kaiwaka, I look for

things we have been involved in, things

we have achieved, things we want to

achieve and things we still dream of

doing. The first thing I notice of course

is the change in speed signs from a few

years ago, 60 right through now instead

of 50 and 70. Not the exact result we

wanted but it was a long hard battle to

get even this far. The signs telling the

speed you are doing are working well

and they do make a difference for

many motorists. There is a speed

camera on the highway south, not

where we wanted it by any means but

at least it is there. And a pedestrian

safety zone by St John’s Op Shop. We

would love to see some safety barriers

round the safety zone to make it truly

safe but maybe another day. Same with

a safety barrier for pedestrians on the

northern bridge (which we can now

walk under).

A few footpaths have been redone or

improved but we are working on more

of those. The playground fence is a

bright reminder that good things can

happen. The surround to the sewerage

works near Eutopia is done and looks

great. The path down to the river by it

is well done and the picnic table most

welcome. We have greater plans

though than that for this area and look

forward to real progress for Kaiwaka

Central next year.

Roads, well, still with their share of

potholes, slips and problems with very

little money in the Council kitty for

Kaiwaka just yet. Sadly, as we look

back four years, these roads have

claimed the lives of two of our

members since we began. We just hope

none are hurt on Oneriri Road corner

where still it is a lottery to pick your

way through.

Lights are slowly starting to emerge

once more, far more slowly than we

hoped, more technically challenging

and a bit more expensive perhaps than

we would like but

a great team is

working on these.

The Fire Station

ladder of fire is up and working, the

Cross is lit up on the Anglican Church

and a lit-up nativity scene is up for

Christmas. There will be quite a few

properties with fairy lights for the

season as well as Mark Ottaway’s

brilliant annual display.

Eutopia is getting more lights all the

time. Several businesses are seriously

thinking about their light display and if

they really want them for Christmas, it

may still be possible. It is a big project

and rather like starting a fully laden

logging truck up a steep hill.

A great bunch of people up Settlement

Road area (they haven’t joined us yet)

have worked hard to get the bus shelter

installed and the park upgraded. Oh yes

there are more trees along the highway,

slowly gaining height as summer gets

under way.

Lots of other things have happened of

course but we continue to dream of

better things yet. MacClean Park has

huge potential. Kaiwaka Central will

make a real difference to how our town

looks. The welcome sculptures will be

eye catching once we work through the

32 regulations imposed by NZTA. And

there are loads of other projects too,

but they will have to wait till the new

year.

What would we like for Kaiwaka Can?

Your support, your skills and interests,

your involvement as we clean the place

up, light it up, brighten it up and make

it somewhere people want to come and

visit.

Look forward to seeing you in 2019.
