69th ANNUAL OTAMATEA

TENNIS TOURNAMENT

Anniversary Weekend saw a most successful tennis

tournament at the Kaiwaka Sports Complex. The court

surface was in great order after the recent Scout Venture.

A large contingent of players from Becroft Tennis Club

North Shore arrived early on the Friday afternoon to take

advantage of the camping. Numbers were down slightly due

to a national tournament in

Auckland but this did not detract

from the success and enjoyment.

Players are now looking forward

to the 70th tournament in 2020.

RESULTS:

St John has proposed a significant boost to the number of

paid ambulance officers in the Otamatea area. The proposal

would see the number of paid staff increase from one to

eight, ensuring there is a double crewed ambulance in the

area 24/7. The proposal also sees the addition of a new First

Response Unit, crewed by volunteers, to manage peaks in

demand.

In May 2017, the Government announced increased funding

to gradually end the single crewing of emergency ambu-

lances in New Zealand over the next four years. New Zea-

land is the only first world ambulance service with single

crewed ambulance responses – we had been doing this up to

100 times a day across the country. In Otamatea, St John

responded single crewed to over 350 incidents in the last 12

months.

“Without the contribution of our dedicated volunteers, the

rate of single crewing would have been a lot higher,” says

Acting St John Territory Manager, Blake Murray.

Adding additional staff in Otamatea will ensure patients get

the best available care when they need it. It also enhances

the safety and well-being of our ambulance staff. Double

crewing will benefit patients, especially in rural areas where

it means they will receive clinical care while they’re being

driven to hospital – something that couldn’t be done with

single crewing. It will make the job safer for our ambulance

officers and help reduce fatigue, manual handling injuries

and stress.

“I want to thank all of our volunteers for their commitment

to date and look forward to their support to get the new

First Response Unit up and running,” says Murray.

First Response Units are being introduced to improve cov-

erage in rural areas, as well as address the changing needs

of volunteers – to remain in their local communities, have

more flexible working hours and shorter job cycle times. If

Otamatea residents are interested in volunteering, please

visit join.stjohn.org.nz or contact Stephen Rosser on 021

355 734 or email stephen.rosser@stjohn.org.nz.

It’s important that we continue to utilise our resources effi-

ciently and effectively. Under this proposal, volunteer

groups based in Kaiwaka and Maungaturoto would merge,

and both vehicles would start and finish in Maungaturoto,

with the combined service titled Otamatea.

No decision has been made about the future of the current

Kaiwaka Ambulance Station, however, St John will main-

tain a physical presence in Kaiwaka through the local St

John Shop.

We’ll be listening to feedback from our people over the

next two weeks and will be discussing the proposal with our

healthcare and emergency services colleagues, and other

community organisations before deciding on any changes.

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Welcome to February. Yes, we were

warned about the heat wave and a few

months ago about the summer weather

headed

our

way.

Everybody

complaining about the heat and the

children going back to school in this

hot weather. I can remember walking

to school in the heat, we did not have a

school bus service where we lived, and

Mum did not have a driver’s license

until she was about 40 (and then look

out no holding her back). Dad was a

farmer and it was a bit hard at times to

get the cows finished to take us to

school. So, the temperatures are

maybe a bit hotter. We all

survived. Our swimming pool was in

the river under State Highway One

approximately opposite the Sports

Association highway entrance on

Gibbons Road.

Well those drying strong south-westers

we had most of January have done a lot

of damage to the farms and grass

around our area. The paddocks are

looking very dry and the animals are

getting it hard to find feed. I do hope

everyone has water for their animals at

the ready. The birds are looking for

water and a dish of some sort for the

small birds to drink and have a bath in.

They love it.

The hottest daytime temperature

outside at our house was 35deg. on the

28th January closely followed with

34deg and 33deg after that.

For January 2019 we had 31mm and

2018 we had 190mm.

For January 2019 we had rain on 2

days and for 2018 we had rain on 8

days. Total for the first month of 2019

we had 31mm and for 2018 we had

190mm.

Our driest January since 1987 was

2013 with 10mm, and the wettest was

1989 with 343mm.

Well now the cricket season has

started. I heard the first one around

here on the 29th. Gee how the cracks

are opening up now on the lawns and

the ground around everywhere. You

may heed warning of a few years ago

and get that extra water tank in. It

seems water is getting harder to come

by and the water tankers are getting

busier with the extra land being cut up

and the number of houses going up. If

you like winter look on the bright side,

it is heading our way. Take care out

there and do not get fatigued with the

dry weather. ~ Bev.

As the Group Leader of Kaiwaka-

Mangawhai Scouts, I felt incredibly

proud to be able to host in our area

Illuminate, the 14th New Zealand

Scout Venture, held at Kaiwaka Sports

Association grounds.

This had been over two years in the

planning for me, after a long discussion

about our town and the venue when we

attended Scout Jamboree in Renwick,

Blenheim, 2017. In 40 years of Sports

Association functions this has been, if

not was, one of the largest events ever

hosted for the period of time. Although

we have had more people on the

grounds on individual days this was the

largest use of the facilities and

infrastructure both on-site and brought

in for a long-term event. To see the

setup of all the tents on the first day

was quite surreal for myself personally.

We could not have hosted this event

without the massive support and use of

facilities of the venue and its

neighbours.

Thank you:



Kaiwaka Sports Association



Kaiwaka School, especially Len

Whitelaw and Sam Orange for being so

accommodating.



Over 1200 Venturers and leaders

were all camping in individual tents.

This also required more land, willingly

provided by Grant and Lyn Parker

giving full use of their property for

camping and for allowing us to dig up

the paddocks to build the water slide.



Hokonui Farms - Innes and Tania,

for the use of the lake and surrounds
for day activities



Kevin Brooking for providing safe

parking within sight of the venue.

In achieving this event I have

extremely appreciated the support of

many businesses and individuals in our

local area. Some of this support has

been quite large.



Huband Contractors – Shaun and

Martine (your support to the event and

myself personally was gratefully

appreciated)



Parker Lime Co - Scott and Anna

(nice to know your forklift does make it

in to Kaiwaka legitimately sometimes!)



Thank you very much to Kauri Park

Nursery for being able to use their

Northwaste bins



Mark Hodgetts for building a

creative water slide that many kids will

remember



Paul and Jody Greig the use of their

land and facilities



Pumps n Plumbing – Penny and

Jamie for infrastructure support



Ben Gardner aka The Water Boy –

1200 people use a lot of water!



Also, for support in their many and

varied ways, small and large, often at

short notice: Andre and Dione Nicolai,

Carlton Smyth, Skywork Helicopters,

Raddy Antunovich, Sumner Haulage,

Marty Roest, Evan and Michele

Wright, Ron Reid, Phil Keen, Topuni

Timber, Carters Maungaturoto..

While I was there as a Scout Leader, I

was however probably more involved

from the Sports Association side with

regard to site and services. When Mark

and Pam Ottaway returned from their

last cruise, I requested they give me

their passports saying, ‘You are not

leaving until this event is over’. I think

I was on the phone 3-4 times a day to

Mark over this event. The actual

amount done by Mark at KSA is

unknown by many. I however am well

aware and would not have wanted to

attempt this event without him.

Tony Hargreaves in his reply at closing

ceremony reminded us that Kaiwaka

Sports Association was built by

volunteers and funds they raised at

Sweetwaters, a large music festival

held in somebody else’s backyard. We

would not have the facilities today had

it not been for Sweetwaters, and

sometimes we need to remember this

when we have such large events. KSA

needs them for its profile and to fund

the facilities Kaiwaka people can enjoy

most days of the year. Illuminate was a

high-profile international event.

Due to youth protection policy we had

to make Illuminate an event closed to

the public. I’m sure, if it was your

children there, you would have wanted

them safe. It is the first time we have

had to fully close the KSA to the

public.

Thank

you

for

your

understanding Fitness Centre members,

pool keyholders and regular grounds

users who were most affected by this.

There are many other people who

have supported us who I have

maybe not named, but your support

was invaluable. Kaiwaka people

you can be proud to have hosted an

international event like this in our

small town.

Thank you,

Bruce Ferguson, Group Leader

Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Scouts.

BE DECISIVE

Ronald Reagan, a former president of the United States, enjoyed telling the story

of how he learned to make firm decisions. When he was a boy, his aunt sent him

to a cobbler to have a new pair of shoes made for him. When the shoemaker

asked, ‘Do you want a square toe or a round one?’ he hemmed and hawed, so the

cobbler said, ‘Come back in a day or two and tell me what you want.’ Later the

cobbler saw Reagan on the street and asked what he had decided about the

shoes. ‘I haven’t made up my mind yet,’ he answered. ‘Very

well, ‘the cobbler said, ‘your shoes will be ready tomorrow.’

When Reagan got the shoes, one had a round toe and the

other a square toe! Reagan said, ‘Looking at those shoes

every day taught me a lesson. If you don't make your own

decisions, somebody else will make them for you.’ Worst

case: if you get it wrong, you'll learn what not to do next

time.

Bottom line: to succeed in life you must pray for wisdom,

and then make a decision.

Summer Reading Challenge

Did you enter the competition being

run over the holidays by Dargaville

Library? By the time you read this, it

will be all over and the winners

announced. Congratulations, and well

done to everyone from our library who

entered.

Reserving books

It's great to see more people making

use of the online public catalogue

(Enterprise*) and placing holds on

items they want to borrow. The book

might be on Kaiwaka's shelves, or

another library in the district, but the

effect is the same - the borrower places

the hold, library staff then pick it off

the shelf, it is sent to Kaiwaka if

necessary (you can choose where you

collect it from), and then it is ready for

you to borrow. So simple! If you need

help with this, let me know. We can

still place holds for you if you prefer,

or don't have internet access. For items

to be picked up from Kaiwaka Library,

I will contact you when it's ready.

New books

There are new books arriving on our

shelves on a regular basis. Keep an eye

on our Facebook page or the lists

hanging on the ends of the shelves, to

see the latest additions. Just last week,

new titles by Ann Cleeves, Sue

Grafton, Tami Hoag, Peter May, James

Patterson, Jodi Picoult, J D Robb, and

Peter Robinson, amongst others, were

put on the Rental Fiction shelves.

Children's books

Have your kids discovered our newly-

revamped children's shelves yet? We

have been working in recent months to

discard the old, tired, and tatty books

that have been on our junior shelves

for years and putting out lovely new

books. Do bring your kids in to have a

look when you come to get your own

books to read, they're bound to find

something of interest. All children's

books in our library are free to borrow.

Book review

Recently

I've

read

Red

Herring by Jonothan Cullinane. This

is a thriller set in the

"murky underworld"

1951

New

Zealand, when the

Auckland

watersiders

were

threatening to go on

strike. As well as

enjoying the story

itself, I liked how

the author used real

historical figures in the story and

described the location - if you know

Auckland city you'll be transported

there as the characters move about.

This book is on our Dargaville shelves

until early June.

See you in the library! ~Wendy

Lord Bledisloe's gift and the

1934 celebrations

‘In 1932 Governor-General Lord

Bledisloe gifted the Treaty House and

grounds at Waitangi to the nation. He

hoped that the site would become a

national memorial, symbolising that the

Treaty of Waitangi had initiated a

unique relationship between the

indigenous and the colonising peoples.

This partnership was reflected in the

membership of a trust board set up to

develop the property, which would

include representatives of descendants

of those involved in making the Treaty

in 1840. The first board included Kirihi

Riri

Maihi

Kawiti

representative of ther descendants of

the northern chiefs of 1840. The

partnership was also marked by a

decision to build a whare rūnanga to

stand near the Treaty House. Northern

chief Tau Henare took a leading role in

both the trust board and the building

project.

In February 1934 Bledisloe's gift was

marked by celebrations. A pattern for

subsequent events was set. It involved

two sites – the Treaty House grounds

(where the whare rūnanga would be

built) and Te Tii marae close by –

several organising bodies (Māori,

Pākehā

and

government),

and

Bledisloe's prayer that 'the sacred

compact made in these waters may be

faithfully and honourably kept for all

time to come'. A second prayer hoped

that the two races might unite as one

nation

through

Christianity

–

Bledisloe's interpretation of Lieutenant-

Governor Hobson's words at the 1840

signing, ‘He iwi tahi tātou’ (Now we

are one people).

Up to 10,000 Māori attended the 1934

celebrations. The events had special

meaning for many as they looked back

to their independent status before the

signing of the Treaty: 1834, when

northern tribes chose a national flag at

Waitangi, and 1835 when they issued a

Declaration of Independence.

Māori and Pākehā perceptions of past

and present events were clearly at

variance in 1934. Waitangi became a

stage on which the interplay of

relationships – past and present – was

repeated. There would inevitably be

clashes.’

Kaiwaka Bugle - 5 February 2019

Page 19

In his early teens CJM found the remains

of a musket in the workshop on the farm

which the old Dad had picked up in the

scrub a short distance from the Kaiwaka

creek. What remained of the barrel, lock

etc, was just a rusted mess and the wooden

stock and fore end were virtually non-

existent. The brass butt

-plate and trigger guard

were,

however,

perfectly sound and

these he removed. As

the

musket

was

obviously very old it is

interesting to speculate

where it came from.

We know that the

famous Ngapuhi Chief

Hongi

had

visited

England and had been

given many presents

which he sold in

Sydney on his way

home

and

bought

muskets

and

ammunition with the

proceeds.

Folklore also tells us

that during his absence

from New Zealand a

party

Napuhi

travelling South had

been

attacked

and

severely mauled by the

Kaipara natives, and

that on his return a war

party, some of whom

were

presumably

armed with muskets,

was sent away to seek

revenge. The next part

of this tale is hearsay,

handed down to the old

Dad by local Maori

who stated that some

of their tribe were

hunted up the Kaiwaka

creek by Napuhi and several sought refuge

by climbing a fine stand of Kahikatea trees

but were picked off like pigeon and their

heads and possibly other parts of

their bodies cooked on lime-stone boulders

which abounded in that part of the creek.

Whether some of these same stones were in

fact used in the construction of a fire place

in the original Bowmar homestead we do

not know, but the fact that the older natives

considered the house was “tapu” and would

not enter gives some credence to the story.

We do know also that the musket did not

belong to one of the first settlers nor could

it have belonged to a member of the British

forces, as there was no broad arrow

stamped on the butt-plate.

So, it is interesting to

speculate whether it had

been in the possession of one

of Hongi’s warriors who had

been badly wounded and had

either crawled away and died

or been carried away by his

mates, because there was no

skeleton near where the

musket was found. It is safe

to assume that a musket, in

those days a possession

beyond price would not have

been

abandoned

unless

something very serious had

happened to the holder.

This story reminds me of

being in form two, (1962)

where we heard from one of

the boys that his father had

taken a .22 rifle filled the

barrel with molten lead and

subsequently buried it in the

garden. Unbeknownst to the

father the boy had spied on

the event, despite the

father’s precautions.

Sometime later my friend

had obtained the information

and had surreptitiously dug

up the remains. Using

engineering skill beyond his

age he melted the lead out,

cut the barrel in half and

built a gun from the end

piece, thinking he might

later find a bolt that would

fit the other half. We loaded

the ‘gun’ with a short and at

three paces turned our face away, due to

the graphite flash, and pulled the trigger.

Aiming at an old sheet of roofing item

stood on its end, still the bullet continually

missed!
