STEADY GOALS IN
TURBULENT TIMES
KAIWAKA CAN:
As I write, the nation is still in shock following the
Christchurch terrorism attack. It is hard to put events in our
tiny town in perspective. I also write following the Council
meeting with the community to talk about future plans for
Kaiwaka.
How did the meeting go? Good numbers (a group pictured
below) turned out and people had lots of questions and
showed interest in a number of projects. Disappointingly
the meeting format did not allow for any open forum, no
presentation of projects or ideas and no way to let people
there know what other people were thinking. If it is a
meeting to hear what people think about what is happening,
part of that is cross fertilisation of ideas that allows people
to feel part of a wider group and not just their own private
views. In that sense it disappointed.
However, Kaiwaka Can put a lot of effort into their table
and outline of core projects, especially the Kaiwaka Central
project which aims to make the southern bridge area far
more attractive and useable for both visitors and locals and
also aims to make better connections by foot (or bike)
between the southern and central parts of town.
Council was keen to hear what people thought of the
Township Improvement Plan and what the priorities should
be
in implementing it. I am not sure what they took from
the meeting. In essence, the remaining items yet to be

Wellington, March 27, It is announced that ten liners will be
arriving in New Zealand in the month of April, bringing back,
9,038 soldiers. This is in pursuance of the policy pronounced
some time ago to bring back the men at the rate of 10,000 per
month. It is hoped to continue the April rate, though the shipping
position makes this doubtful. .” ~

From Thelma’s Scrapbook. …
The Craft Club
It’s hard to thread our needles, as the eyes seem very small,
And double-sided sticky tape is quite beyond us all.
Our cutting is all wonky, arthritis is to blame,
Our home-made cards just won’t stand up, which really is a shame.
The knitting has dropped stitches, our crochet’s all askew,
We lose our place in patterns because we often need the loo!
We’ve had accidents with glitter, some spillages of paint,
And a very awkward moment when glue made someone faint.
But we love our weekly meetings and though little craft is done,
There’s lots of joy and laughter, companionship and fun.
We’d never miss a session because we know that secretly,
We just came for a natter, and a lovely cup of tea!

from the front page ...
completed are largely regular upgrade
type items or else the responsibility of
NZTA (which interestingly and
annoyingly, didn’t turn up).
One exception on the Improvement
plan is the upgrade and development of
McClean Park, the northern rest area.
There is currently no budget or
timetable for this, but we have done
quite a bit of work on this in the past.
The main areas of interest that we
noted as a group were in Kaiwaka
Central, hopefully progress in restoring
the lights and also very strongly, in
finding a way to release Kaiwaka from
the restrictions caused by a major state
highway through the
middle People want
to get significant
development going, especially in
housing. One major step in this could
well be a roading link between
Kaiwaka
Mangawhai Road
and
Marshall Road. That would allow
for access from development that did
not have to get in or out from State
Highway One.
So where to from here?
Kaiwaka Can is strongly committed to
working positively and actively with
Council. We encourage the completion
of the Township Improvement Plan but
also believe there is far
more to our future than
that. We need to work
through
issues
of
funding,
priorities,
volunteer
input
and
cooperative ventures. We
look forward to this
challenge.

PIMPLES AND ACNE
Our gastrointestinal tract contains the
largest population of bacteria, our skin
contains the second largest population
and is referred to as the skin microbiome.
Our skin is a diverse melting pot of
different groups of fungi, bacteria, mites
and viruses with hundreds of different cultures living
together. We feel great and are healthy when these
microbiomes are in symbiosis with all the bugs living
together in harmony.
Cutibacterium acnes (formally known as Propionibacterium
acnes or P. acnes) is one of the bacteria that live on the skin
and is attributed to pimples and acne, but in fact these
bacteria perform a very important function in that they
digest sebum, turning it into free fatty acids to help form the
skin’s acid mantle. They only cause problems when their
numbers are out of whack.
Hormones at puberty, pregnancy and menstruation are
times when we see an overproduction of sebum – oily skin.
This provides extra food for the C. acnes bacteria and they
multiply. When there’s too many of them, they put the
microbiome
out of balance and skin becomes inflamed, then the body’s
immune system kicks in with higher production of white
blood cells. Combine inflammation, cellular debris,
bacterial proliferation, and white blood cells and you have a
plugged hair follicle or pore. The backup results in a traffic
jam under the skin, and you start to see pimples or acne.
But the worse comes and zits spread to the neck, chest and
back only when we go to treat these zits with cleansers, gels
and scrubs that strip the oil because we’ve been taught to
believe that oily skin is prone is pimples. What happens
when we strip our skin surface of oil is the C. acnes bacteria
will go and look for food, so they travel down the hair
follicle where they find the sebaceous gland (the sebum
factory) and it’s like finding KFC so they gorge on the
sebum and you can guess what happens next.
Keep your skin clean, but DO NOT strip it of its natural oil.
Remember, you want to try and help sebum flow onto your
skin. Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser that help the
skin desquamate allowing the pores to empty easily.
Seek expert advice as there are technologies and products
that can help to regulate sebum production, keep your
microbiomes in balance so you shouldn’t have to struggle
with pimples and acne.
Nina Quan, Skin Therapist – Skin Image Paparoa and Waipu
BEAUTY CLINIC GIVE-AWAY
It’s not every day you get the opportunity to acquire
a fully operational, award-winning business free,
but this is exactly what is on offer in Paparoa right
now.
Skin Image owner and operator Nina Quan is
consolidating her beauty business in Waipu where
she now lives and is offering her award winning
Paparoa business as a going concern – for nothing,
provided the new owner buys the building in which the clinic is housed.
The commercially zoned building on the main street of the little township is set
up as a beauty clinic with two consulting rooms, reception area, storage/office
room, toilet, kitchenette, laundry and a large covered deck at the back. Each
consulting room is fully set up for beauty and massage treatments and has a
sink, bench unit and a reverse-cycle air conditioning unit.
The give-away business incorporates all the clinic equipment (trolleys, hot
towel cabbies, wax pots, maggi lamps, steamer, skin scanner etc etc), washing
machine, furniture, beds, linen and current stock, so a new owner can just walk
in and take over.
The deal may include goodwill, as some clients will probably want to continue
to get their treatments locally. “It is a once in a life time opportunity for
someone who has always dreamed of having their own clinic,” Nina says. The
new owner will be “walking into an existing, fully operational business with a
great foundation and reputation”. The clinic was a finalist in the NZ Association
of Registered Beauty Professionals best new clinic category for 2017/18.
The naming rights of the existing business, ‘Skin Image’ is not included in the
gift “but here is a space already set up for someone to put their stamp on it”
says Nina.
If the new owner does not want to continue with the business, they can choose
to sell the equipment and furnishings, or they can lease out the business or run
another business. “The set-up and location lend itself to many small business
opportunities.” Please contact Nina direct at Skin Image if you would like more info.

PETE WORSFOLD...KAIPARA COUNSELLOR
...
My name is Pete Worsfold, a local,
born and bred here in Kaiwaka.
I have just completed 7 years of
counselling
training
and
after,
travelling around Northland for almost
4 years working for ‘Man Alive’, sole
Tai Tokerau provider of domestic
Violence and Anger Management
Services through the Justice system,
Counselling, and being a Group
Facilitator of men, I thought it was
about time I came back to my local
area. I very much enjoyed the
experience and connecting with the
North and its people.
Having
worked
for
Otamatea
Community Services at the same time
since I began Counselling, I kept my
finger on our Local Community pulse.
The place is beginning to burgeon at
the seams, he says and the timing to
come back to our Kaipara Community
is perfect. Change seems to bring some
`teething problems`.
It’s good to be back home and I am
Counselling at Kates Place on a
Tuesday and at Maungaturoto on a
Wednesday, though can move easily
between the two towns, during
working hours.
Arrangements can be made for other
times outside normal working hours.
My specialty is Men’s issues, though I
counsel all ages, issues and genders in
my work I am able to act as a
negotiator around issues with different
parties i.e. disputes, keen to stop
couples going to court over custody
issues through counselling. Children
don’t need to be dragged through the
Court System.
I am most keen to get a Men’s Group
going in Kaipara soon, called ``Men Of
Integrity-Making Better Choices’ and
sense it is the right time now and men
need to be heard - not all deep stuff,
fun as well.
Topics such as Communication, Men
and Women in R/Ship and Good
Men`s Qualities, Discussion, Teaching,
sharing men’s issues, and Tools For
Coping Better, will be on the Agenda.
The Group will be run by myself and
my OCS Colleague Damien Stansfield
who
has
a
background
with
`Essentially Men `.
Damien had Volunteers and I had
Compulsory Men so it will be
interesting combo.
Day, time and starting date will be
available shortly. Anyone interested in
joining our men’s group please ring
094319030 or 094312661. Numbers
are limited because of space so be
quick guys.
I also work for Rural Support Services
and have been offering a Counselling
Service for Farmers for the last 3 years
and had good results in increasingly
disturbing circumstances that farmers
have been facing.
I am also available for more discreet
counselling under my business ‘Full
Circle Counselling’. Some people want
more anonymity,
it seems.
It’s good to be
back to my roots
in Kaiwaka and
all my training
and
experience
can be used here.
Less driving too!

School Holidays
On Wednesday 17 April we will be
having Story Time sessions with Vicki
on the hour and half-hour, starting at
10:30am, then 11:00am, 11:30am, and
so on until the last session at 1:30pm.
No need to book, just come in. Stories
will be read for about 10 minutes each
session.
Book swap
The next Large Print and Audio book
swap is only a couple of weeks away.
For Large Print books this is only the
ones with a yellow label at the bottom
of the spine, that belong to Northland
Libraries Network. Please have these
back to us by Sunday 14 April so they
can be swapped for new titles.
Overdues Reminders
You can receive automated reminders
about any overdue items issued to you,
by email and/or by text message? It
saves me time, as I know you've been
sent those messages and I don't need to.
For email notices, send an email
to kaiwaka.library@gmail.com from
the email address you want them sent
to, and ask for that to be turned on. For
text messages, send me a text - 027 480
6275 - from your phone, and I will set
that up for you. Or ask at the counter
next time you're in the library.
If you're ever sent a reminder about an
item you're sure you've already
returned, don't hesitate to get in touch
with the library (email, phone, text, or
in person) to let us know, so we can
investigate and set things right when
the item is found.
Rental books
We ran out of space on the Rental
shelves, so the older '18' books have
been retired early to the free shelves to
make room; this affects Fiction, Non-
Fiction, and Teen Fiction. There's also
been a small cull on the free fiction
shelves to fit them all in. If you've been
eyeing a book on the Rental shelves for
a while, and now can't find it, it will
likely be on the free shelves. Place a
hold via Enterprise*, and we will pick
it off the shelves ready for you to
collect.
Book review
I've recently read The Librarian of
Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe. This
novel is
"based on the experience of real-
life
Auschwitz
prisoner Dita Kraus,
this is the incredible
story of a girl who
risked her life to
keep the magic of
books alive during
the
Holocaust.
Fourteen-year-old
Dita is one of the
many imprisoned by
the
Nazis
at
Auschwitz. Taken,
along
with
her
mother and father, from the Terezín ghetto
in Prague, Dita is adjusting to the constant
terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish
leader Freddy Hirsch asks Dita to take
charge of the eight precious volumes the
prisoners have managed to sneak past the
guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes
the librarian of Auschwitz. Out of one of
the darkest chapters of human history
comes this extraordinary story of courage
and hope." (goodreads.com)
What an
amazing story! You know from the
outset that this girl is going to survive
the horrors, since the real Dita herself
wrote an introduction for the book, but
sometimes you have to wonder how.
It's a good read. You'll find it on the
Teen Fiction (YP) shelves in the
library.
See you in the library! ~Wendy

Kaipara Marching Team, Left to Right - Cecelia Les Chapman, Janice Booth, Kathy Barron,
Rachelle Davies (Leader), Rose Plunkett, Carrie Adlington, Corinna Thorburn, Jane Baird,
Theresa Ramirez, Connie Walker (Manager)
Marching for sport in New Zealand began in the 1930s and developed to help
keep young women fit and healthy during The Depression. In the 1940s it
became more organised so that teams could compete against each other. In 1990s
Leisure Marching took off, talking with ladies at the 27
th
Leisure Marching
Nationals in Hamilton in March (where there were 80 teams and about 1000
women), when the word was put out, many of the women who had done
marching in their youth stepped up and wanted to do it again.
Besides the fun and friendship, you get when you are part of the team, the other
benefits of Leisure Marching include improving memory, as you need to
remember your moves; developing and maintaining co-ordination as an
individual and part of a group - all good things to work on, no matter what your
age. To find out more about Leisure Marching or to join Kaipara Marchers

Almost everyone who has held a line
has a fishing story...here are two, one is
mine, and one is from CJM Clark’s
memoirs.
Just before I became a horrible
teenager, my old Dad took my brother
and I down to the river to catch eels. A
Latvian friend of his would buy them
for ten shillings a piece. Dad stood in
his best golfing stance on the top of the
out-flowing sewage pipe, hundreds of
eels slithered below. He had a very
stout broom handle with a big fish
hook screwed onto the end, the barb
removed. He swung and sent eel after
eel, up the grassy bank behind him
where we let them slide into sacks on
their way back to the water.
Occasionally one would whack us
behind the head very unpleasantly as
father kept up his swing. In our creek
was the ‘father of all eels’, a full six
feet of him. All the local kids had seen
him, and many had tried to catch him.
Father in a moment of altruism took us
all down to the creek to catch the
monster. Again, out came the very big
broom handle he notched the end and
bound a string line around it, then to
the other end of the string he tied a
decent piece of meat. We all sat
waiting...the eel came winding along in
the current, saw the meat and
swallowed it, Dad waited, we
were excitedly anticipating
the catch, but he just
waited .... then suddenly he
stood, put the handle over his
shoulder and heaved. We
took a photo of it hanging
from the clothes line with me
next to it. The picture since
lost. Dad cut the fish into
two-inch slices and pickled it
in A.G jars.
Now from CJM’s memoirs:
“My friend and I had a fencing job at
Tauranga Beach (just south of the
Heads) and took a launch around.
There was a N.E. wind blowing and it
was very rough. I took my friend
ashore, was carried out on the receding
wave, and as the next one carried the
dinghy ashore, I jumped, but was
grabbed by the heel and fell flat on my
face. I got to my feet but was
immediately pulled down again and
dragged out after the boat. I then
realised that a king–fish hook had
caught my heel and that there were
only about twelve feet of line between
the hook and the boat. What it was
caught on in the boat I will never
know, but by the time I got to my feet
again the next wave was rolling in on
me. I was bowled over again and again
the dinghy rolled over me. I was
becoming exhausted, and angry.
Anyway, my friend, having (finally)
seen the trouble I was in, had managed
to come in and grab the boat which we
pulled up temporarily on the sand.
Of course, the hook had to come out, I
remembered we had an old file out on
the launch (and believe me it was old,
rusted
and
virtually
useless).
Fortunately, the point of the hook was
through my heel (and boot-leather
would be like sponge rubber compared
with the skin on this man’s feet) so we
were able to get the barb off after a

and helicopter-rescue money. Or today

would have had to fill out?
