day; a large number of wreaths were laid by servicemen and women, community
groups, schools and the public; see the website ww100.govt.nz for amazing
information on WWI and finding their way back.

New Zealand borrowed Mother’s Day, as well as the date of second Sunday in
May, from the United States. The Day was invented by Anna Jarvis in 1908 to honour
her mother, who had been a militant peace activist during the US Civil War. In 1914
US President Woodrow Wilson officially signed Mother's Day into existence.
~ Lindsey, Ed
“When your mother asks, ‘Do you want a piece of advice?’ it’s a mere formality. It
doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no. You’re going to get it anyway.”

‘The Song Keepers tells the inspiring story
of an Aboriginal women's choir and their
historic tour of Germany.
In the churches of remote Central
Australia, a 140-year musical legacy of
ancient Aboriginal languages, German
sacred hymns and baroque music is being
preserved by four generations of song
women that make up the Central
Australian Aboriginal Women's Choir.
Most of the scenes are from rehearsals in
Central Australia and performances in
Germany, but there are also many still
images from the Mission's history and
some archival film from Hermannsburg
over the past century.’

Kaiwaka Bugle - 30 April, 2019
Page 5
This weekend is your final chance to
come to Otamatea Repertory Theatre’s
amazing show.
We hope you will be able to come for
an afternoon – or evening - of pure
entertainment.
Director, Maura Flower says, “The cast
of 42 youngsters have worked
extremely hard, and it is a pleasure to
watch them as they bring the story to
life. The show is a visual extravaganza
– with wonderful fantasy costumes,
artistic makeup, creative set and props,
and brilliant lighting design. The
singing, dancing and acting is
wonderful, with many stand-out
performances.
Lisa
Johnson
of
Mangawhai’s
DancEnergy has been involved too –
she trained the small troupe of dancers
for our forest scenes. It certainly takes
a huge team of people to pull together
to create a great production.”
Tyga Daniero of Kaiwaka is playing
the role of Mrs Potts. Tyga is 15 years
old and enjoys many hobbies – singing
and performing, playing the ukulele,
playing soccer and doing artwork.
Tyga enjoys her role “Mrs Potts is a
very motherly character and I enjoy
playing her as I think she is outgoing
and friendly. I have been in many
shows at ORT over the past few years,
however my favourite role so far was
in last year’s show, ‘Into the Woods’
when I played the role of Little Red
Riding Hood. My goal in life is to
always be kind and make people
happy.
Beauty and the Beast tells the story of
Belle, an adventurous young girl, and
the Beast, her hideous captor who is a
young prince trapped under a spell. To
break the spell, the Beast must learn to
love another and earn her love in return
–
before time runs out. With the help of
the castle’s enchanted staff, including a
loving teapot, a charming candelabra,
and a nervous mantel clock, Belle and
the Beast find a beautiful friendship
and love that neither knew was
possible. The show features classic
songs from the Academy Award-
winning film score such as “Be Our
Guest” and “Belle,” as well as original
songs from the 1994 Tony-nominated
Broadway musical.
There are four shows left - Friday 3
May @ 7.30pm, Saturday 4 May @
2pm and 6pm and Sunday 5 May @
2pm
Tickets are on sale - either online
at www.ort.org.nz or at Tony’s Lotto
Shop in Maungaturoto.

John Couper
We were recently able to have one of
our Charter members, John Couper,
along to a tea meeting so we could
celebrate
his
90th
birthday.
Congratulations John on attaining this
milestone and thank you also for being
one of the people who set up this club
back in 1969.
Picnic Table
After some delay, we have finally
found a home for the fantastic picnic
table constructed by students at
Otamatea High school. Originally this
was destined for the Brynderwyn
walkway, but we were not able to place
it there because of kauri dieback.
However, it has now been placed on
the waterfront at Whakapirau so will
inevitably get a great deal of use
through the year. Thank you to the
locals at Whakapirau who have helped
put this in place. See also page 17.
Driving Academy
I was fortunate enough to attend the
Rotary Youth Driving Academy in
Whangarei. This Rotary initiative,
which we support financially, enabled
the Year 12 students from Otamatea
High School to attend. During the
course of the day they completed six
modules that were aimed at making
them better drivers with a greater sense
of road awareness and dangers.
This will inevitably mean that they
know what to watch out for when they
are driving and to be aware of peer
pressure when decisions are made.
Once again, we have had some very
thought-provoking speakers. One of
them gave a message that was
reiterated at our Annual conference by
three of the keynote speakers.
“The way one develops resilience is
with perseverance and a positive
approach to life.”
Calf Litter
A reminder, we still have plenty of
bags of calf litter for sale at
Maungaturoto Four Square.
As Rotarians we enjoy many
interesting guest speakers, working
bees and times of fellowship. If you are
interested in joining us, please get in
touch with any Rotarian. ~ Eileen
It is getting a bit cooler these days, so
people are getting out their warmer
clothes and raincoats etc.
In the Community House we have a
small selection of clothes for toddlers
and babies, mostly for boys at the
moment, and among them some warm
pyjamas. These are all donated and free
to take so, come and have a look. We
have limited space for the clothes, but
could find a home for a few more little
girl’s winter clothes if anyone has
them. It is nice to be able to hand good
used items on and also, to receive them
as they have been outgrown.
We thank the wonderful Anne and her
team of helpers at Arty Farty in
Paparoa who do such a great job – and
for the weekly delivery of fresh
produce from their gardens. We also
have vegetables, fruits and jams etc.
which is brought in on occasion from
local residents. If anyone has surplus
packets of dry grocery items or tinned
foods these will be welcomed too. A
big thank you to the poultry farm who
bring pullet eggs, these make a great
addition to items passed on to those in
need.
You are all very generous and much
appreciated.
We continue to support people in the
Otamatea district with everyone kept
quite busy. We have counsellors,
parent coach, senior support, addiction
support, budget advisor, and social
workers.
These professional services can be self-
referred or through Doctors, Schools,
Hospitals, etc. and are free of charge.
However, we do welcome donations if
people wish to do so. We remind those
making appointments that it is
important to let the counsellors or other
staff members know if you are unable
to attend your appointment.
Whangarei Shopping
Our mini-bus is proving to be a very
popular service with groups, schools,
clubs etc. For only $20 per day it can
seat 12 people for shopping, outings,
tours etc. Phone us on 09 431 9080 to
ask about the shopping trips, to use the
mini-bus, or for any of our services
listed above.

LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE
‘An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my backyard. I could
tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. He
followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep in a
quiet, comfortable corner.
An hour later, looking a lot better for it, he went to the door and I let him
out. The next day he was back. He resumed his position in the hall and slept
for an hour. This continued for several weeks.
Curious, one day I pinned a note to his collar; ‘
‘Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap’
The next day, he arrived again at my house with a return note
pinned to his collar: ‘He lives in a home with 10 children- he’s trying to catch
up on his sleep. Could I possibly come with him tomorrow?’

2019: KAIWAKA 160 Years - Remember when ...
The Kaiwaka Centennial was celebrated
2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th April,1959.
The book ‘The Centennial of
Kaiwaka - Rautau O Kaiwaka 1859
- 1959’ gives a wonderful
description of the first 100 years of
our Kaiwaka community - from the
hardships to the recreation, the
farming to the transport, the history
is well told. The following is an
excerpt from the introduction:
‘INTRODUCTION
One hundred years have passed since
the settlement of the Kaiwaka Parish.
which consisted of 16.528 acres
stretching from the Kaiwaka township
and Pukekaroro to Hakaru. Today the
Kaiwaka Riding of the Otamatea
County is bounded on the north and
west by the Otamatea River and
Kaipara Harbour. on the south by the
Oruawharo and Topuni Rivers, and
from Topuni follows the Hakaru River
to include nearly the whole of the
original Kaiwaka Parish.
The
Kaiwaka
Riding
is
the
southernmost riding of the Otamatea
County where at Topuni the traveller
enters the Provincial District of
Northland. Predominately devoted to
dairying and fat lamb farming, the
riding includes some of the most
productive farming land in the North
Auckland peninsula, largely consisting
of easy rolling gum land of the better,
less heavily leached type, with
extensive areas of strong limestone
land. It rises in places to moderately
steep bush country of good quality.
Nearly the whole is farmable. Some
servicing industries are located at
Kaiwaka. and at Topuni an exotic pine
plantation supports a sawmilling
settlement.
The area of the riding is 44,249 acres,
or about 70 square miles. Capital value
(1958) is £1,431,415, including the
capital valuation of Kaiwaka township
of £265,615, while the unimproved
value is £294,010 (including the
township at £42,190).
The population is approximately
1,100…
The
present
Kaiwaka
Township was not always the centre of
the district. Pukekaroro and the upper
reaches of the Otamatea were busy
when the kauri timber was being
worked. Hakaru with its store and hotel
was the centre of the gum fields, while
Young's Point, known as Otamatea
(later Ranganui) railway station, was
the rail terminus during the building of
the bridge across the Otamatea and
dreamed of being a railway wharf for
overseas steamers.
The railway station, the improvement
of roads radiating, from Kaiwaka, and
the ever-increasing traffic on the main
Auckland- Whangarei highway, have
in recent years made Kaiwaka the
natural centre for servicing the
surrounding farmlands.’
KAIWAKA CENTENNIAL ASSN.
The Kaiwaka Community Centre
Social and Welfare Committee met on
21st October 1955, when the Kaiwaka
Centennial Association was formed to
arrange
suitable
celebrations.
Preparations were continued until the
beginning of 1958, when sub-
committees were set up to make
detailed arrangements. The Association
was chaired by B. deL. Linnell.
‘
The material for this booklet has been
collected and prepared by the Pageant and
Historical Committee and arranged by the
Editing Committee.’ ref. pg 112 of the
Centennial book
.
The Rodney Courier
A large report of the Kaiwaka
centennial celebrations was in The
Rodney Courier, Wednesday 8th April
1959, pages 2 and 3 -”Probably the day
which will live longest in the memory
was Friday, 3rd, when a crowd
estimated at 1,500, packed the streets
of Kaiwaka to watch the procession …
included a large group of descendants
of the pioneers attired in authentic
garments, some of them over 100 years
old”.
Also included on the same page in the
Courier was the advert for the Kaiwaka
Pictures. ‘Cockleshell Heroes’ starring
Jose Ferrer and Trevor Howard was
showing on 17th and18th April.

PURPLE POPPY
The purple poppy was
worn at our Hakaru
RSA Anzac Parade last
Thursday.
“In conjunction with
New
Zealand
War
Animal Memorial Day
the
National
Army
Museum hopes to use
the 24th of February as
an annual Purple Poppy
Day, in order for the
animals to have a commemorative day.
Most people are unaware that as well
as the traditional commemorative red
poppy, there are also white and purple.
The purple poppy symbolises all
animals who have died during
conflict. It is estimated that more than
8 million animals sacrificed their lives
in World War I alone.
As a way to commemorate the animals
that have served, and those that
continue to, we ask you to wear a
purple poppy. These purple poppies
can be worn in together with the
traditional red poppy. Let us remember
these brave animals, their deeds, and
their sacrifices.
To love unconditionally, to serve
unquestionably… They were the
animals.”
Ref.www.armymuseum.co.nz
KAIWAKA
ATHLETIC CLUB
Our club has just completed another

early March.
Trophy winners for this season are:
Lifebuoy Rubber Trophy – K Lydiard;
John Metcalfe Trophy – E Fisher;

break over the winter and recommence
in early November.

GLH. These are the initials of a very
interesting man, a good keen bloke!
My best friend for many years -
mentor, advisor, companion, and font
of wisdom, in his way.
We began as flatmates and have gone
through life’s crazy twists and turns for
fifty years. Incidentally, the New
Zealand actress Danielle Cormack,
currently starring in Fresh Eggs, at just
about five years old, wandered up
through our apartment into the kitchen.
(We lived above her parents’ home in
Parnell) The kitchen door opened out
onto a deck, the pipe-
railing of which was
well above the child’s
head, she fell from the
first story down into
the garden below,
missing the concrete
edge
by
mere
millimetres. This we
saw
as we rushed to stop
her. We nearly lost an
icon of NZ television
dramas!
GLH was a non-
commissioned officer
in the New Zealand
Army, a trainer of men
who were to become
the elite Special Air Service. I recall
one part of the training which was that
of taking several of the men dressed in
bright football gear, out into the bad
lands of Waiouru and driving them in
disorienting circles before releasing
them with one live chicken, a box of
matches and a magazine.
For a few days police would be
informed and road blocks would be set
up both North and South of the Desert
Road. Farm houses in the area were
warned to lock up well and keep an eye
out for suspicious activity. The goal,
should they achieve it, was to turn up
to the recruitment office on the third
floor of a Queen Street building (in
those days known as 246).
Earlier on I had been privileged to meet
a friend of his, Rangi, who,
disconcertingly, would jump over
random parked cars as we walked
down the street talking. Rangi turned
up at 246 still dressed as a football
player, carrying his live chicken,
magazine and matches.
After the army and a stint as an aircraft
mechanic, G.L.H. became a ‘face of
Auckland’. At different times he could
be seen in many ways: a doorman
welcoming folk at the town hall, a
butler at dinner parties given by
Hudson & Halls, in ‘life studies’ by a
renowned photographer (because of his
great physique) or as a fashion sales co
-ordinator for Queen Street fashion
stores. Then eventually as part-owner
of a fashion label. He has
three daughters, all grown
and married today.
One main thing I admire
about G.L.H. is that
despite all that life has
thrown at him he is a
positive
person.
Not
everything has been easy.
Nowadays, having had a
wife who was unfaithful,
he lives a bachelor’s life.
He owns a launch /fishing
boat
which
he
occasionally lives aboard,
and a Volkswagen-Combi
parked in an orchard
where he rents space. The
land by the Combi-
camper is good and annually he grows
his crops which he sells to a local
restaurant. Last week he told me that
he had caught five big snapper and a
large trevally. These also went to a
local chef. I recall in earlier times he
had studied many books on self
sufficiency, today here is a man whose
needs are small, perhaps sugar and
flour, salt and pepper all the rest is
caught, gathered or shot.
On a farm once used as a deer
producing unit, near the Kaimanawa
forest, he went to shoot rabbits for dog
meat. Deer which had escaped into the
forest occasionally came back to the
same fence line so they soon became
home kill packages for the local
butcher and venison on many tables.
