FIREFIGHTERS SKY TOWER STAIR CLIMB

The Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge is an annual fundraiser for

Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC). Each year firefighters from

around New Zealand and international competitors from Australia, the US,

Chile and Germany fundraise and compete in this amazing event at Auckland’s

Sky Tower.

Our local Brigade are taking on the challenge again this year. Pictured left (with

Mike Law) - Tim Brown, Keith Mills and Kraig Steiner are gearing up to climb

51 flights of stairs (1,103 individual steps) in full Breathing Apparatus kit -

weighing up to 25kg, to help raise funds for LBCNZ. This event takes place on

Saturday 18th May 2019.

Every cent raised for the Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge goes directly

towards helping the 6 Kiwis a day that are diagnosed with a blood cancer or

related blood condition. The funds raised will be used to

support work in the community including core services

such as personalised support for patients and their families.

This includes running support groups, programmes, hospital

visits and being there at the end of the phone to answer

questions and concerns patients and families may have and

provide information about their condition.

If you would like to donate to this great cause, please use

the link below. All support, no matter how big or small, is

appreciated. Our brigade works tirelessly for our

community. Please support our local Kaiwaka team.

mother. Not only does she help on the

farm but she home-schools her

children and regularly drives their son

to Auckland for soccer. She is on the

leadership team at Kaiwaka Revival

Church and runs the ladies group. Jenn

is such a kind, caring lady and does

sooo much for others. She is always

cheerful and helpful. She deserves a

WEATHER

Welcome my friends to

another month struck off the 2019

calendar.

It was a rather good April so far as

weather goes. Heaps of beautiful calm

sunny days with also a bit of rain and

some rather vicious south westerly

winds. So vicious in fact it blew over

the toilet at the sheep dog trials. At

least it was not occupied. The bucket

was left standing though!

The Brynderwyn waterfall is down to a

mere trickle. It picks up for a day or so

when it rains, then slackens off again.

It is probably time for those

mushrooms to be poking their heads

through the ground again.

Well for April this year at our house

we had 105mm rain and for 2018 we

had 107mm rain.

For the first 4 months of 2019 we had

260mm and 2018 we had 717mm.

Our driest April since 1987 was 2005

with 28mm and the wettest was

260mm.

Our driest first 4 months since 1987

was 1987 with 69mm and the wettest

was 2017 with 725mm.

We had rain on 10 days in April 2019

and in 2018 we had rain on 12 days.

Well as I type this report out our

beautiful weather is continuing for

Autumn with 3 weeks to go before

winter kicks in. It is still quite mild so

may it continue. I am not sure how the

duck shooters made out, but we heard

lots of gunfire so maybe they did well

(unless they were all practice shots.)

Sorry shooters just joking. Please take

care on the roads out there and look

after each other. Bev.

From Bev: ‘What a great poem by the

Spike Milligan about smiling’.

There were not enough free days

for us to have a meeting last

month and

our President Lena

was not well. We hope Lena is

enjoying her well-earned rest on a

cruise with June

and that they come

back refreshed.

Many thanks to all who helped us with

the wreaths for ANZAC DAY

they

looked great on the cenotaph, also

thank

you

those

who

supplied flowers, and brought plates

for lunch and helped in the kitchen, we

really value this support.

Our next function is the Tripe and

Onion luncheon on Sunday 19th

May at

12.30p.m. (there is an

alternative meal available if you are

not keen on tripe,) everyone welcome,

that includes non-members, but please

phone Jan on 4314512 so she knows

how much to prepare.

Remember our ex member Dawn

Bright, she sends her regards to you

all

and would love a visit next time you

are

Wellsford,

she

the Retirement Village; also, Bettie

Marchant in Waipu would love a

visit preferably in the mornings.

Members please note OUR NEXT

MEETING is on Thursday 23rd

May arrive 1.15p.m. please remember

to support the sales table, the Hostesses

are

Dawn Powell and June Wilson.

That is all for now, hope you are all

keeping well,

Ann

HARLEQUIN LADYBIRD

TIME TO HAVE YOUR SAY...

Kaiwaka residents have had two meetings recently in which

to express thoughts about the town to the Council. There

was a public meeting to review the Township Improvement Plan. Only trouble

was we had no opportunity to speak up publicly or hear what others were

thinking. Then there was the review meeting on the District Plan. More chance

to speak up there but all in tight little groups rushing round ten minute table

times.

Kaiwaka Can holds its annual meeting this coming Wednesday, May 15th. We

have a very small amount of the business type of stuff to do – approve the one-

page financial report and elect three officers, hardly an evening’s work.

Then we can talk about Kaiwaka, the things already under way and also, things

we think about, dream about, maybe get mad about, maybe worry about. The

meeting is open to anyone and everyone. Yes, we have a membership but we

have a totally open style, welcoming any who come to any meeting with ample

opportunity to speak up and out. We would love to see plenty come this

Wednesday and do just this. In this way we can have a stronger and more united

voice with Council. Time to move on with making our town what it can be and

all of you can be a part of that.

Derek Christensen (Chair)

Meeting: Wednesday May 15th, Archie Bull Hall (behind the

Anglican Church) at 5.30pm.

Have you seen this wee insect?

The photo, top right, was taken of

these Harlequin ladybirds in an

Oneriri, Kaiwaka home. They have

been flying into the house and landing

on the ceiling and furniture daily for

the last few weeks.

Stuff News reported on 30 April 2019

that this was ‘an invasive species that

could spell disaster for New Zealand's

lucrative wine industry.’

The Asian harlequin ladybird was first

discovered in Auckland in 2016, is

now being found throughout the

country. The bug, which is slightly

larger than New Zealand's native

variety which it eats and out-competes

for food .

From Scoop News 3 April 2018

“Harlequin Ladybirds are a potential

threat to the horticulture industry

where they feed on pip fruit, causing

blemishes on the fruit. They are known

to cluster within bunches of grapes

before harvest resulting in tainted

juice.

Harlequin Ladybirds also pose a

nuisance to humans where they swarm

in buildings and houses. They can bite

and cause allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.

They eat other insect species and

compete for food resources, posing a

risk to the biodiversity of our

ecosystem. They will eat native

ladybirds and also swarm in beehives

over winter, requiring manual removal.

Due to the highly variable nature of

Harlequin Ladybirds it can be hard to

distinguish them from other ladybird

species. The M shaped markings

between the head and abdomen and

two small bumps on the rear of the

back are their identifying features, they

are also slightly larger than common

ladybirds.

The larvae and pupae have a spikier

skin than common spotted ladybirds.

If you find

Harlequin

Ladybirds,

please collect

the

specimen,

photograph it

and contact

MPI’s

free

24-hour pest

and disease

hotline

0800809966.

MPI

are

tracking their spread and can provide

information to growers about the insect

and its management.”

LETTER TO THE

EDITOR 44 YEARS

AGO:

14 May 1975 from the

Rodney & Waitemata Times

‘Dear Sir,

We, the New Zealand Folklore Society

(Auckland), are engaged in the

collection, research and preservation of

the folk songs and stories of old New

Zealand.’

Here B.F. Worsfold of Sandringham,

Auckland is aiming to complete the

song fragments …

… ‘With this in mind I am taking the

liberty of sending you copies of the

known words of two songs, both

relating to the races that used to be held

at Hakaru, in the Otamatea County,

from the early 1876s up until just

before the First World War. Of the first

one we have two verses, the chorus and

the tune, These lyrics only just begin to

tell the story. The second song should

have six or seven verses and a chorus.

We have only two verses and the tune,

which is the same as the Australian

song “Wrap me up in my stock whip

and blanket.” This song used to be

sung at concerts in Mangawhai in

about1902-1904 by one Jimmy Birch

and the words were apparently

published at some stage in the

Whangarei Gazette…

The two songs in question are:

“

After the Hakaru Races, we

thought we’d have a spree down

here.

Some people pulled long faces, and

others said, “no fear!"

Then up spoke old Bob Riddley.

I've a plan I think will do,

Get some money in, some money in

and pull the races through. ‘

We've heard there is residing a

parson up the creek,

who's taken, to depriving us of the

harmless fun we keep.

Then up spoke old Bob Riddley...”

AND

“I remember the joybells were

ringing,

Bill Sarah was riding a ring-in that

day.

When the judge said its 3 year’s

suspension

When the rain washed the bay back

to grey:

His mother cried "Billy, don’t leave

us;

Your bets keep the wolf from the

door. Without them the "bookie

will break us."

As he turned and he whispered

once more: …”

Thank you, Sheryl Botica, for sharing

this gem.

POIGNANT PIPING

There is a story of a young
man who used to make a few extra
dollars as a bagpiper, playing mostly
for funerals. One time he was asked
by a funeral director to play at a
graveside service for a homeless man.
He had no family or friends so the
service was to be. at a cemetery in the
Kentucky back country.
The young man was not familiar with
the area and got lost; and being a
typical man, would not stop for
directions. Finally, he arrived an hour
late and saw the funeral guy had
evidently gone and the hearse was
nowhere in sight.
All he saw were the diggers and crew
left, and they were eating lunch. He
felt bad and apologised to the men
for being late, went to the side f the
grave, and looked down. The vault lid
was already in place, but not knowing
what else to do, started to play.
The workers put down their lunches
and began to gather around. He
played his heart out for this man with
no family or friends. He played like
he’d never played before for this
homeless man’s memory.
As he played

Amazing Grace

, the

workers began to weep. They wept,
he wept, they all wept together.
When he finished he packed up his
bagpipes and started for his car.
Though his head hung low, his heart
was full.
Just as he was opening the door to
his car, he heard one of the workers
say, “I never seen nothin’ like that
before, and I’ve been putting in septic
tanks for 20 years.”

KICKING FOR THE SURFACE:

Practical Strategies to Protect and Promote Wellbeing

This practical session will share tips and strategies that parents,/caregivers and students

can use to keep their heads above water in a busy year. The good news - wellbeing is our

best protection against the stresses and challenges of everyday life. You will find out what

wellbeing is made up of, and simple ways to support it; why focusing on what’s right and

knowing your strengths can help wellbeing and achievement; how to combat the 'fragile

thoroughbred’ syndrome that sees many teenagers afraid to try or giving up after failure;

and why we can all benefit from more self-compassion. Last but not least, this session will

remind parents that love, acceptance and belonging are the most important things you

can continue to give busy, worried or less-than-totally-lovely young people.

Dr Quinlan is acknowledged nationally and internationally as an outstanding facilitator.

Her humour and honesty allow her to create environments where participants fully

engage and safely contribute.

Denise may be the best facilitator l know. If not she'd make the ‘grand

final’!

Dr Alexander ‘Sandy’ Gordon, Elite Sports Psychologist and Couch,

Australia.

She has a warm way of communicating the science of well-being to

people with varied knowledge and experiences of Positive Psychology.

There was a general consensus that we left the training wiser, more

connected and energised for our work with young people

"POLICE ANNOUNCE NON-

EMERGENCY NUMBER – IT’S 105"

At 10:05 am on the 10th of the 5th, New Zealand Police is launched 105 -

(“ten five”), the eagerly anticipated number for the public to report non-

emergency situations to Police.

The 105 number and the online platform - 105.police.govt.nz - will make it

easier for the public to engage for non-emergency help, advice and support.

105 is a national non-emergency number that will be answered 24/7 by highly

trained Police staff. It is free to call from all landline and mobile numbers.

❖use 105 to report non-emergency situations. For example, if your car has

been stolen, your property has been damaged, or you want to give Police

information about crime in your area; use 105.

❖111, on the other hand, should still be called immediately if a crime is taking

place or there’s a threat to life or property. It’s the number you use to connect

with Police, Fire and Emergency, and the ambulance services (it is more than 60

years on from the first 111 call).

As well as by phone, people can go

online to the 105 website to report

certain non-emergency situations, and

get updates on or add more

information to their existing reports.

Currently, lost property, intentional

property damage, shoplifting, general

theft, and theft from a car can be

reported at 105.police.govt.nz.

Further information about 105 and

promotional material is available

PART TWO: GLH

By Bevan Lawrence

GLH Continued.... I have recently

begun to call him Captain H, because

surprisingly he’d bought a boat in

Picton and was fitting it out to live

aboard - an ex-scallop dredger, about

ten tonne in thirty feet.

For months at that time I’d been under

a promise to be ‘first mate’, but it kept

being put off because ... the gear box

needed a new selector; “The shaft seal

is dripping what can I do to fix it?” he

asked me. The promise of my going to

see this fine vessel was getting pushed

back by events. The skipper knew that

I knew a lot about boats. I had the

qualifications and had been the owner

of a similar boat. So, the day arrived,

and I took a one-way flight into

Nelson. When one lands at Nelson

Airport there is no transport to the city,

no shuttle, only taxis. But more, if you

want to go to the Sounds or Picton the

bus leaves once a day, the next

morning. Since the plane arrives in the

afternoon, rather than sleep on a park

bench one must find a hotel.

The next day I headed off in the bus to

Marlborough Sounds. Nearly was

prevented from getting there, as along

the scenic route a semi-trailer driver

had decided to back his unit across the

road, between two corners of the

winding road. Our driver, thankfully,

saw the trailer at the last moment! Full

brakes!

All

passengers,

myself

included, found ourselves piled up

against the seats in front. I arrived in

the village shaken but not stirred.

On the boat, after a catch-up dinner we

settled in for the night to the gentle

rhythm of the sea. Over the next few

days we got the little ship in order. As

per plan we started up and pulled off

the mooring, headed for Picton for

supplies and diesel. Each day as

regular as clockwork we checked the

marine forecast. The best months had

passed due to gearbox complications;

we just needed a good isobar pattern to

attempt the Strait now. While we

waited, anchored in a protected bay

near a salmon farm, we caught fish for

dinner and did much needed repairs to

the dinghy combing. We moved up to

the mouth near an abandoned whaling

station. Since the heavy fishing boats

were heading out, we strapped up and

followed.

Where the two currents meet, we

encountered waves which crashed over

the boat, soaking us, drenching

everything. It was immediately clear

that there would be no crossing that

day. For several days there was no

change in the weather. One night we

were in phone range and I got a

message from my wife that our lovely

old Samoyed had died. The dog had

been like a family member and so my

presence was required for funeral

duties and succour.

Now alone, my cobber had moved up

to Port Collingwood and could see the

weather improving, so left the sounds

and headed for Cape Palliser, had

thoughts of heading for Wellington, but

the current runs toward Palliser so, on

went,

turning

North

toward his

first night at

Castle Point.

Off Palliser,

for the first

time in ages

he felt sick,

the

emergency

kit

had

medicine but

as he recovered, he realised that the

boat tanks had been stirred up by heavy

seas. Also, a radio call to a mate back

in the Sound said if his last fill up was

Picton then it was surely the water

making him sick.

Castle Point channel is difficult to

navigate so asking local advice he

moored off the beach in case he

dragged anchor in the night. Next stop

would be Napier. Asked about doing

the trip alone he said there were both

advantages and disadvantages. Going

singularly, he was responsible for his

own decisions and didn’t have to worry

about other crew. The advantages of

two were safety of rescue and

consultation on navigation. Once in the

safety of the visitors’ berth in Napier,

he was happily prepared to stay for

months, but a nagging urgency pushed

him on.

East Cape can be a confused sea at any

time so he cut close to shore, but the

sea was very rough, the boat surfed

into holes at eight to 12 knots, holes

big enough to fit a twelve-bedroom

house into, line of sight to shore broken

for hours. Making it into Hicks Bay,

the boat bobbed around the old jetty

but gave some respite for a night. Next

stop was Whakatane, but on arrival the

visitors’ berth was closed, however he

found a berth anyway just to return

after some shopping to find that his

bike, usually tied on deck had been

stolen. Next day sixteen hours later,

Mayor Island came into sight, a

welcome home to Tauranga.

Captain G maintains a unique lifestyle

today in Tauranga and is known for

everything from motor racing (Audi) to

growing shallots.
