EUTOPIA CAFÉ … A DELIGHT FOR ALL

KAIWAKA SPORTS AWARDS

Eutopia Café’s open day, 7 April, was very well received. Marijke and Robert welcomed a

very large crowd of folk to their wonderland of creativity - and great coffee and music!

The

35th

annual

Kaiwaka

Sports

Association Sports Awards were held

tonight at the Kaiwaka Sports Complex.

Emcee John Markby from More FM read

the profiles of the 22 nominees.

Congratulations to the winners:

Junior Sportsperson of the Year -Maia

Fairburn; Senior Sportsperson of the Year -

Bron Hame; Service to Sport - Jodie

Bennetto; Greg McRae Memorial Trophy -

Jackson Brierly

Junior Sportsperson of the Year,

fourteen-year-old Maia Fairburn was

nominated by the Kaiwaka Fitness Centre

for her impressive achievements in a wide

range of sports. Maia has had achievements

to a high level in Touch, Tag, Rugby,

Netball and Athletics. Her pinnacle achievement was being

selected for the New Zealand Maori U14s Tag team. An

outstanding young sportswoman.

Senior Sportsperson of the Year was won by Bron

Hames. Bron played and captained Northland Women’s

rugby team and played for Te Hiku O Te Ika Womens

rugby team winning the Northern Regions Maori

tournament. Bron travelled to Samoa to play for Te Tai

Tokerau in the Vailima Marist International Sevens

tournament. She also captained the Te Tai Tokerau side in

the Pacifica Aotearoa cup. A force to be reckoned with on

the rugby field!

Service to Sport winner Jodie Bennetto is a dedicated

netball volunteer. Jodie is President of the Otamatea Netball

Club, coaches several teams, umpires, is a selector and

fundraises. Jodie puts in a huge amount of work into

organising the AIMS week every year - she organises

uniforms, accommodation, travel, food, fundraising etc, and

is greatly appreciated by the netball girls and their families.

The Greg McRae Memorial Trophy (awarded for

sporting excellence and contribution to sport) was won by

Jackson Brierly. Jackson is a talented all-rounder - he has

had achievements in Tag, Touch, Rugby, Athletics and

Cross-country. Now fifteen years old, Jackson already has

several years of rugby refereeing under his belt and was

recently awarded Sport Northland's ASB Sports Awards

cup for Official of the Year for his rugby refereeing.

Jackson is also an accomplished Tag referee, having

refereed at the Junior Tag Nationals and at the Junior

Oceania Tag Cup. Jackson is also a Touch referee and last

year refereed at the Senior Touch Northland Secondary

Schools Competition.

Many thanks to Mark and Pam and their catering team for a

lovely meal, to emcee John Markby from MoreFM, to

Stacey Beattie from ANZ, to Lish and Jean on the bar and

Friday 19 April, 7.30pm (M)

‘

The Favourite is a 2018 period tragicomedy

film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and

written by Deborah Davis and Tony

McNamara. It is a co-production by

producers in the United Kingdom, Ireland

and the United States. Set in early 18th-

century England, the story examines the

relationship between two cousins, Sarah

Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough (played

by Rachel Weisz), and Abigail Masham,

Baroness Masham (Emma Stone), vying to

be court favourites of Queen Anne (Olivia

Colman).’ Ref. Wikipedia

THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD - movie, KWMH on

26 April, 7.30pm. Peter Jackson directs this homage to the

British troops of the First World War with never-before-

seen-footage of soldiers as they faced the fear and

uncertainty of frontline battle in Belgium. Digitally

remastered and now in colour, the footage has been studied

by lip reading experts whose transcripts were recorded and

used as audio for the film. Overlayed by a narrative of those

who partook in the war from interviews made in the 1960s

and 1970s, this historic revisiting marks one

hundred years since the end of the Great War.

Our Deepest Heartfelt Thanks.........

The entire Fairburn whanau would like to extend

their heartfelt thanks to the Kaiwaka Community that

gave so generously during the recent tragedy and

loss of our much-loved Janiah and baby Azarliyah.

As a family we were truly overwhelmed by the

generosity and outpouring of love we received

through messages and donations, during what has

most certainly been a challenging time.

There are far too many people to thank individually,

so please accept this message as acknowledgement

and heartfelt thanks to all in our community that

gave so generously during our time of sorrow.

Love and gratitude to you all.

The entire Fairburn Whanau.

WEATHER

What a beautiful start to

Autumn.

Nice days and Huey threw in a bit of

rain after a few days as we were very

short of it followed by lovely hot calm

weather. Then of course we got a bit

of wind and more fine. The rain was

more than welcome at the end of the

month.

At our house for March 2019 we had

52mm and for 2018 we had 235mm.

For the first 3 months of 2019 we had

155mm and for 2018 we had 610mm.

Our driest March since 1987 was 2005

with 20mm and the wettest was 2017

with 329mm.

Our driest first 3 months since 1987

was 2013 with 69mm and the wettest

was 1999 with 615mm.

We had rain on 7 days in March this

year and on 14 days in 2018.

It looks like the water tankers will be

running for a bit longer yet.

What is the world's largest gem? a. A

Baseball Diamond. Be safe out there

and take car, Bev.

Attendance was down to 11 at

the meeting on 28th March (we

missed our bowling ladies). The

raffle was won by Lena and

1 Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Road, Kaiwaka.

I can’t call my role with Kaiwaka Can

dull! This past week for example has

crammed in together some very

diverse experiences.

Let’s go backwards and start with the

knobblies and the shinies. Because our

environment leader was away, I went

last Thursday to meet an entomologist

to get a delivery of insects, not what I

do every day! We have been working

for some time with NRC to find ways

to deal with weeds round Kaiwaka.

One of the most widespread is

Tradescantia, which you probably

know as Wandering Jew, no longer an

acceptable name. But you are probably

well acquainted with it if you have

trees, shade and limited time for

weeding! The beetles that came last

Thursday have been rehomed into a

small patch of Tradescantia where we

hope they will munch and chew and

wriggle their way through the patch

and also breed prolifically so we can

then transfer them to other patches. Oh,

I think there were also a few stripies in

the mix.

On Wednesday I met with a small

group setting up Kaiwaka Community

Support, which in many ways picks up

a lot of what Kaiwaka Cares did until it

was disbanded. But it also goes more

widely, and current key issues are Civil

Defence, Neighbourhood Support,

Food Bank, Community Patrol and the

community garden.

The linking theme in all of these is

volunteers. They all need keen people

to help. I am excited about the work

done especially by Beth and Barry and

Maria, persisting with this over a long

time. They have space available,

resources, ideas and vision. Now they

need more people, new people,

recycled volunteers from the past and

people with special gifts and skills. I

am sure they will be doing some of

their own publicity but if any of this

interest you, get in touch with me and I

will link you up

with the group.

They aim to meet

again second Wednesday in May (8th)

early evening. So, look out for more

information and developments. And

incidentally one of the other projects

floating round, both with this group

and others, is restoring the Information

Centre which was once a vital part of

Kaiwaka and a good entry point into

Northland.

Last Monday Kaiwaka Can members

made up more than half the audience at

a Council discussion on the district

plan. This is important stuff as we have

been strangled in our development,

both housing and industry, by the long

ribbon of State Highway One through

the middle of our little town. So, we

talked about this and other planning

issues such as water, rubbish and

community services with a team from

Council. Hopefully this will bring

some real changes for the better as the

district plan is updated and we will be

actively working to bring this about.

The week before some of us met with

others with the local committee of St

Johns. As you will be aware the

ambulance station in Kaiwaka will no

longer have its current function and the

discussion was around ways in which

this might provide a real community

service with activities that help as an

‘ambulance at the top of the cliff rather

than the bottom’ to use their words. It

was a good evening and we look

forward to more developments from

this.

And just to add to these few days, I

went to the Eutopia open day Sunday

April. What a place! And what an

effort from Marijke and Robert. This

will do a lot to put Kaiwaka on the map

for many coming through.

COUNCILLOR’S COMMENT

* with Otamatea Ward Councillor Jonathan Larsen

Success at Council Meeting

At the March Council meeting I had an

item on the agenda to try to get funding

for the outdoor fitness trail equipment

for Kaiwaka Domain. This is a great

initiative

from

Kaiwaka

Sports

Association which if successful will

provide more outdoor recreation

opportunities

for

our

growing

community.

After a long debate the agenda item

was passed. As a result, the CEO will

now prepare a report on funding the

equipment from reserve contributions,

to bring back to Council for

consideration. My agenda item on

funding for completing the skate park

at Mangawhai Activity Zone also

passed and a similar report will be

prepared on this too.

Reserve contributions are collected

every time a new lot is created through

subdivision. These funds are intended

to be used for upgrading existing

reserves, and acquiring new reserves,

to compensate for the effects of

growth. Kaiwaka and Mangawhai have

both seen considerable growth (and

collected considerable funds) in recent

years. It is therefore really important to

start adding to the outdoor recreation

facilities in our communities.

Representation review

The Local Government Commission

(LGC) has released its decision on

appeals on the ward structure for

Kaipara District’s next election.

Despite robust evidence presented by

several local appellants, the LGC

approved the dividing of the district

into four wards with two elected

members per ward, including a new

ward for Kaiwaka/

Mangawhai.

Although

the

surface this looks like

balanced

arrangement,

actually results in

reduced

representation

for

Kaiwaka/

Mangawhai.

Under

the

current

arrangement there are three elected

members in the Otamatea Ward (which

includes Kaiwaka/ Mangawhai) versus

five members in the western part of the

district. This has traditionally made it

difficult to get items approved for the

east, especially with a west-leaning

Mayor. The new arrangement will

reduce

the

representatives

for

Kaiwaka/ Mangawhai to two, versus

six in the western part of the district. If

the boundaries had been left as they

currently are, Otamatea ward would

have been entitled to four Councillors.

The next opportunity to review this

arrangement is in three years’ time,

although Council is not obliged to

carry out a further review for a further

six years.

If you have any community projects or

issues that you would like assistance

with, I can be contacted on Ph. 021 185

8389 or Cr.Larsen@kaipara.govt.nz.

Check out my ‘The WorkBoot

Councillor’ Facebook page for regular

updates. For any roading maintenance

issues

please

council@kaipara.govt.nz and describe

the defects requiring repair (potholes

etc.) and their locations.

The views expressed are those of the writer and do

not necessarily represent the consensus position of

Council.

KAIWAKA – MANGAWHAI WARD

Kaipara District Council representation arrangements confirmed for 2019

The Local Government Commission has endorsed Council’s final proposal from

last year’s Representation Review will apply in this year’s local authority

elections (October 2019).

The changes include some boundary adjustments and the establishment of a new

Kaiwaka – Mangawhai ward. Each ward will elect 2 councillors, with the mayor

being elected ‘at-large’ across the district.

The process of this review has taken just over a year, with the final judgment

being set by the Local Government Commission.

The full report and determination can be found at www.kaipara.govt.nz/

repreview. A representation review is required to be held every six years to

ensure council representation is fair, effective and meets the needs of our

communities. However, Council may choose to review its representation

arrangements prior to the 2022 triennial elections.

At a meeting on 26 July 2018, the council adopted its initial representation

proposal. This was for a council comprising the mayor and eight councillors

ITS FRIDAY BUT

SUNDAY’S

COMING!!

‘Its power was in its simplicity. At

first, the old pastor said nothing.

He just looked at his people until all

talking died down. You could hear

a feather drop. Then he whispered,

‘It’s Friday, but Sunday’s coming.”

Then he said, “It’s Friday: Mary’s

crying her eyes out ‘cause her baby

Jesus is dead.... but Sunday’s

coming.

It’s Friday: The disciples are on the

run, like sheep without a

shepherd.... but Sunday’s coming.

It’s Friday: Pilate’s strutting around

‘cause he thinks he’s got all the

power and the victory.... but

Sunday’s coming.”

After forty-five minutes, that old

preacher was shouting out, “It’s

Friday!” And all the people were

shouting

back,

“Sunday’s

coming!” Beloved, I don’t know

why Fridays come tearing and

ripping into our lives like a tornado.

I don’t know why health suddenly

fails, marriages split up, children

break parental hearts, careers are

destroyed, jobs lost. I don’t

understand why these things

happen, even to the best and most

conscientious believers. But Jesus

understands our Fridays. He’s been

there. He’s been there with us on

the cross.

I don’t understand Fridays. But this

I do know: because God raised up

Jesus from the grave, Fridays do not

last forever.

Sunday’s coming! It always comes

to those who have placed their faith

and trust in Jesus, who said, “I am

the resurrection and the life. He

who believes in me, even though he

dies, yet shall he live!”

THAT’S THE GOOD NEWS!”

EASTER EGGS
The first mass-produced
Easter egg appeared in 1873 and
was produced by Cadbury.
However, it wasn’t until the early
1900’s that milk chocolate eggs
became available.
The tradition of giving chocolate
Easter eggs can be traced back to
19

-century France and Germany.

The first eggs were small and solid
and made of a coarse, bitter dark
chocolate. As technology
improved and cocoa became more
widely available, so did chocolate
Easter eggs. It’s a
big business-
Britain’s retailers
sold over 264
million pounds
worth of Easter
eggs in 2010.

WON BY THE SPADE

, by Peter

Cooke, is the definitive history of the

Royal

New

Zealand

Engineers,

providing a comprehensive account of

the corps’ actions, events and

personnel from the New Zealand Wars

of the nineteenth century to the present.

It examines military engineering in

New Zealand, including that of Maori

and their influence on the corps, the

role of the corps in overseas wars and

home defences, and provides a

contemporary record of New Zealand’s

contribution to military engineering,

including

demining

operations,

peacekeeping and civil aid missions.

Key themes are those of military

innovation

and

the

Engineers’

contribution to national development.

KAIWAKA SCHOOL

We have come to the end of a

really busy, action packed first

term of 2019. There has been daily

swimming, rippa rugby for the Year 5

and

students,

swimming

competitions and heaps and heaps of

school work for everyone. Thanks to

the parents and caregivers who have

assisted on trips this term, and to the

PTA for their fundraising lunches.

There will be a few property

improvements over the next few

months, starting with the school office

over the holidays. Room 6 will be

having a makeover in term 2. We are

expecting a new classroom to be

installed over the next term and the

Room 4 students will be able to move

in at the beginning of term 3.

Very sadly we are saying goodbye to

Catherine Elliot and Robyn Froggatt,

our After School Care staff. We have

really

appreciated

Catherine’s

management and Robyn’s assistance

with the ASC programme. We wish

them both the very best in their future

endeavours.

Wishing you all a very happy Easter

SCHOOL

School Board of Trustee

Elections – Otamatea High School

Nominations for the election of parent

representatives to the board of trustees

are now open. A nomination form and

a notice calling for nominations will be

posted to all eligible voters.

Additional nomination forms can be

obtained from the school office.

The voting roll is open for inspection

at the school and can be viewed during

normal school hours.

There will also be a list of candidates’

names, as they come to hand, for

inspection at the school.

Nominations are invited for the

election of five parent representatives.

Nominations close at noon on 24 May

2019. Voting closes at noon on 7 June

2019.

From The Principal’s news:

Last Thursday the kapa haka group

took the stage at Whangarei Girls’

High School for the annual Te Tai

Tokerau Festival. Congratulations to

these students who performed with

such pride and mana. They did

themselves, their families and the

school proud. Thank you to the staff

members and whānau for their ongoing

support of the group; the group are

improving year on year and this is not

possible without the dedication of

many people.

I had the privilege of judging the Year

7 speech competition this week and

was very impressed with both the

quality of the speeches and the

confidence of the students who

participated. This was the first time

that students presented their speeches

in the hall to the whole of year 7 and 8

- quite a daunting task for them. They

all did very well. The placings were as

follows: 1st place - Adriana McLellan,

2nd place - Connor Alcock, 3rd place -

Chevy Mabbett.

Friday, 5 April the school participated

in Gumboot Friday where students

and staff were encouraged to wear

gumboots and donate towards mental

health services in schools. We raised

$380.80 towards this worthy cause.

Construction works:

taking place at the school. By the start

of term two the bus bay is scheduled to

be completed as well as the concrete

driveway of Te Whare o Rongo and

the area at the back of the whare.

During the holidays the new courts

will be worked on and next term the re

surfacing of the car park and turning

bay will take place - this is likely to

take another 5 weeks in total

Other work over the holidays will

include: new roofs for the hall, whare,

alternative education shed, whakairo

shed and the translucent roof between

A4 and A5.; further electrical

distribution boards and upgrading the

water heater system for the PE

changing rooms.

EUTOPIA CAFÉ:

FIND THE ARTWORK

Please bring the art sculptures home ...

“

We have had a great first week finding

our feet here at Eutopia and want to thank

the community for all your support.

However we are reeling from the loss of so

many of our precious art works. We are

still finding sculptures that are missing, at

least 6 by our last count. Our biggest loss

is the carved stone centre piece from the

fountain which was gone within 12 hours

of opening. These artworks hold little to

monetary value but represent a tragic

loss of hundreds of hours of work put

into creating things of beauty for the

community to enjoy.

Please share far and wide. We would

love to have our artworks back for

everyone's enjoyment.”

Now open from 7.30am to 4pm every day.

EASTER ART TRAIL

Easter Saturday and Sunday

20- 21 April, 10 – 3 daily

Always

popular,

this

year’s

Mangawhai Artists Easter Art trail is a

cracker! Visitors will enjoy the chance

to look at interesting and diverse art at

the same time as peeking into artists’

studios. Nineteen venues plus the

Members’ Exhibition in the Artists

Gallery; Art Trail 2019 has the highest

number of participating artists in any

trail so far. Spokesperson Kim

Hamilton says, ‘We’re especially

pleased about the trail this year. We

have a cluster of venues in and around

the Pioneer Village and the far-flung

studios all are great drives, excellent

for people who seldom travel beyond

the Heads and Village’.

Central to the trail map are six venues,

clustered beside Mangawhai Museum

(which has its annual book fair on at

the same time). Hamilton explains,

‘This year we are thrilled to be filling

four heritage buildings, the church,

post office, Tara Road School and the

Te Arai library’. Then there’s an easy

stroll to the studio of Sarah C – Indoor

Outdoor Art and across the road to

Stylish Homes who have offered us a

beautiful show home for what is going

to be a super display’. For those

driving – park the car, then take in the

work of eighteen artists.

There are more venues tucked in

around the streets of Mangawhai for

people to visit before heading for the

outer reaches of the Trail where there

are more superb venues – Barrier View

Drive, Pigeon Berry Lane, Cove Road,

Pebblebrook Road and Daisy Cottage

on Devich Road – the names alone

give an idea of the beautiful spots

worth visiting plus lots of art, talking

to the artists and enjoying beautiful

vistas and parts of Mangawhai often

unseen by visitors.

Mangawhai Artists Gallery is venue

number one and is a good place to

begin. Thirty-five artists are showing

their work with many of them

participating in the Trail as well.

For many people who look forward to

the Annual Easter Art trail this is an

opportunity to enjoy art and meeting

people. There will be a lot of excellent

art on offer to tempt you to take

something home – eftpos is available

at the Gallery and the heritage village,

we advise having some cash in your

pocket – you will be amazed at the art

and the affordability of it.

2019 Art Trail Guide with map is on

sale now at Mangawhai Artists

Gallery, Gas Mangawhai, Mangawhai

Museum and Mangawhai Books and

Gifts.

Participating in the Trail is free. The

Art trail Guide is $10 contributing to

Mangawhai Artists fundraising. All

funds go towards helping Mangawhai

Artists involve the community in art

and creativity.

A PIG STORY

By Bevan Lawrence

KAIWAKA BUGLE DEADLINE DATE 2019:

Every second Friday

April 26; May 10, 24;

June 7, 21; July 5, 19;

August 2, 16, 30 ;

September 13, 27;

October 11, 25;

November 8, 22;

December 6.

Being the Chinese year of the Pig I

thought a Pig story might be

appropriate.

My father was well respected around

town as a ‘Huntin, Fishin & Shootin’

man. On one particular foray into the

bush to feed the family and friends, the

old dad spotted a boar rutting in the

ground. He shot the animal but not

fatally and being a good bushman

couldn’t leave it at that. He tracked the

blood spots; the animal had gone to

ground it was holed up in a large

hawthorn bush.

Dad, knife in hand, crawled in after it.

The pig was in no mood to offer

hospitality; it charged at him, he fell

back but not enough to avoid a tusk

ripping the calf of one leg. In that

moment where one feels little pain due

probably to the adrenalin rush, he

wrestled the animal bodily and sunk

the knife into its vitals.

The old dad had been a medic in the

home guard and always carried a sharp

needle and cat gut in a sterile silver

tube kept in his pack. He painfully

sewed up the slice and mercurochrome

was applied to the wound before a

bandage. Despite all this, he dragged

the carcase out, loaded it onto his

bicycle bar and pushed it miles home.

At home some days later, a fine pig

skin was pegged out on the fence

where it had been treated with

potassium alum and borax paste. Father

who was, as previously described, a

dab hand with a needle made a very

nice saddle bag for the bike, and some

other items.

At this time, we had no refrigerator, so

the meat was pickled, salted, and

largely cooked up on the day.

One of the things Father would do

regularly is to ride

out to the country

to feed food scraps

to the farmer’s

pigs. Placing his

bike against the

fence, he went

across the paddock

to the pig trough.

While he mucked

out

the

food

trough and made

sure the receptacle

in the paddock had

water, a pig had

come around the

back

and

had eaten

his saddle

bag.

The

moral

the story is

to beware

that

pigs

will

eat

anything

including

their own

kind!

As a teen, my buddy, his little brother

and I had been up the river (Wanganui)

camping in a wharé. On the way home

we were belting along the dirt road,

rounded a corner and drove smack into

an animal standing in the centre of the

road. The two of them were

immediately in trauma, never having

hit anything before. I had to yell at

them asking if either of them had a

knife? Stutteringly a pocket knife was

produced; I went to the front of the

vehicle where it lay panting and badly

broken. I cut its throat to spare it any

more pain. Then there was an involved

discussion as to what to do with the

carcass, take it home, leave it on the

side of the road, try to find which farm

it had come from and inform the

farmer. After a while we all agreed to

leave it where it lay as supposed road

kill and hope someone would come

along and sort it out. As a teenager

driving, an inherent fear hovers in the

mind, that whatever the truth is, it will

always be the teenager’s fault

inevitably.
