KAIWAKA ST.JOHNERS
OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL AWARDED $20,000
SOLAR PANELS FROM GENESIS SCHOOL-GEN
Our local Fire Brigade members hosted an evening down
memory lane for a number of members and supporters of
the former Kaiwaka St. John Division, as there is no longer
an ambulance based in Kaiwaka; there was an unease felt
for the future.
The division was formed in 1976 and began training in the
Archie Bull Hall, then moved to the former medical centre
with their minimal equipment stored by the butchers
(Cheese) shop. A massive community fundraiser allowed
the purchase of the building in 1991, on the corner of
Gibbons Road. This was base for training, fellowship and
service for the next 28 years.
Below are only twelve of ambulance volunteers, but these
have given a total of nearly 200 years service:
L to R Back: D Wright, N Dowson, J Eagleton, L Hargreaves, M
Steiner, P Ottaway, K Stewart. Mid: B Jaques. Front: Y Boyd, C
Bygrave, M McCabe, D Mills.
Molesworth SDTC at NZ CHAMPS
For the last week of
May the team from
the
Molesworth
Sheep Dog Trial
Club,
proudly
wearing their Vet
Centre
sponsored
jackets, successfully
ran the Class II
Event Shorthead at
the North Is./NZ
Champs held on Te Ahu Ahu
(Ohaeawai) - held every 16
years.

of
Molesworth

receiving his trophy for the
Straight Hunt final placing
with Toby.
As one of the first schools to receive STEM (science,
technology, engineering and mathematics) equipment from
the Trust’s first round of funding Otamatea High School
students will soon be harnessing the power of the sun
thanks to a new solar panel package from the Genesis
School-gen Trust, worth $20,000.
Otamatea High School principal Rachel Clothier-
Simmonds says Otamatea High School is fortunate to have
staff members who are passionate about giving students
authentic learning experiences.
“This solar equipment package will help engage our
students in real-world learning. We are already making
plans to create a new cross-curricular programme that will
use the solar panel equipment, together with the data it
generates, to explore science, mathematics, technology,
business economics and sustainability topics,” said Rachel.
According to Deputy Principal Dirk Smyth, the school’s
primary motivation for seeking solar equipment is to allow
educators to develop integrated programmes for students,
and to “raise awareness of sustainability and help involve
and educate our community on the importance of investing
in
renewable
energy
resources.
Environmental
sustainability is an important issue for New Zealand, and
we need our students to be engaged in a meaningful way,”
said Dirk.
Schools, including primary, intermediate and secondary
schools, from Northland to Southland, applied for funding
from an initial pool of $50,000. Genesis School-gen Trust
Chair, Lee Mauger, says Otamatea High School’s interest
in wanting to involve and educate the community on the
importance of renewable energy made its application stand
out from the other 400 applications.
Otamatea can now compare its solar energy generation to
92 schools in New Zealand, from Russell to Timaru,
through the School-gen website. The Genesis School-gen
Trustees, including education, IT and energy-generation
experts, determined which schools receive equipment
packages.

Autumn
Seasonal
Climate
Summary highlights include:
Autumn 2019 was New Zealand’s
4
th
warmest on record. Temperatures
across the country were mostly above
average or well above average.
This autumn was characterised by
higher than normal mean pressure over
and to the east of the country, resulting
in more northerly winds than normal
across New Zealand.
In addition, the seas around the
country were warmer than normal - a
continuation of the marine heatwave
we saw this summer.
The nationwide average temperature
for autumn 2019 was 14.4˚C.
Rainfall over much of the North
Island was below normal, with isolated
pockets of well below normal.
Conversely, a large portion of the
South Island received above or well
above normal rainfall.

KAIWAKA
WEATHER
What a lovely Autumn we
have had and now we can all look
forward to winter. (Brrrrrr).
22nd May I got a round of golf in at
Mangawhai and in all my years of golf
out there I cannot remember the drains
and ditches being all dried up at this
time of year. You (not me) were able
to hit the ball out of the dried-up lake
alongside the fairway (as long as you
could find it in the dried-up reeds). I
have seen the lakes dry but not some of
the ditches. Then again, I could have a
short memory.
As I put this month’s weather report
together, we have just had a vicious
thunderstorm with horizontal rain to
boot.
May was quite a fine month. We had
18mm around the 11th and 12th of the
month bits and pieces on other days.
Strong west to southwest winds after
that and later in the month a lot of
cloudy days and calmer. A couple of
cold snaps and two lovely days to
finish Autumn. It was good shooting
season opening although I have only
had one or two reports for that. The
deciduous trees have now lost or nearly
lost most of their leaves. It is a bit of a
shame they find them again as next
year it is back to rakes or blowers to
clean up. Mind you it would be wet
underfoot if they didn't lose them that
would make them evergreens and no
sun to get through for the ground.
Okay. For May 2019 we had 36mm
and for May 2018 we had 96mm. We
had rain on 8 days for 2019 and rain on
10 days for 2018.
Our wettest May since 1987 was 2001
with 281mm and our driest May was
2007 with 21mm. Our first 5 months of
2019 we had 296mm and for 2018 we
had 813mm.
Our wettest first 5 months since 1987
was 2011 with 854mm and our driest
was 1999 with 108mm.
We notice the waterfall on the
Brynderwyn is just a mere trickle still.
Get you winter woollies out of the
mothballs and wrap up well. Please
take care on the roads out there as well
as the rain there are the winds to cope
with also. Only about 10 days to the
winter solstice then the sun will be
traveling back. At our house we had a
5deg in the mornings so not too bad
yet. ~ Bev.
THE SHORTEST DAY
June Solstice (Winter Solstice) is on
Saturday, 22 June 2019 at 3:54 a.m. in
Auckland. Daylight will be 5 hours, 4
minutes shorter than on December
Solstice. South of Equator, the shortest
day of the year is around this date.
The Maori New Year occurs close to
the Winter Solstice in the southern
hemisphere. The herald of the Maori
New year is the rising of Matariki, also
known as the Seven Sisters.
12 Members attended the May
meeting which commenced with
the "Ode".

WORKING TO GET THE TOWN WORKING
Over the past three months there have
been two community meetings to look
at the future of Kaiwaka.
The first asked whether the Township
Improvement Plan was on track and
the second asked for our thoughts
about district planning as it affects
Kaiwaka.
Neither meeting changed either the
world or Kaiwaka. However some
messages came through loud and clear
from the community. Top issue raised
was Oneriri Road Intersection,
hardly surprising with the growth of
housing along the road. Secondly a
strong voice supported the Kaiwaka
Central plan that would see us tidy up
the area round the southern bridge, put
a footbridge across, increase parking
and generally create easy transition
both along and across the highway.
And thirdly, many expressed their
concern that all development in
Kaiwaka was stifled by State Highway
One as NZTA will not allow any
more vehicle access on to the
highway. That makes it very difficult
for commercial, retail and residential
development.
We have expressed our thoughts.
Council has the evidence. None of the
issues are new and all have been
expressed before. So where do we go
from here?
To try and get a breakthrough,
Kaiwaka Can members meet this week
with the Mayor, CEO and Town
planner from Kaipara District Council
to set in place, firm agreements and
concrete plans for moving ahead. We
will keep everyone in touch with the
outcomes from this
meeting.
Another issue that
bothers us is that we are being
questioned by Council officers as to
how representative we are of the
community. In a perfect world,
everyone would come to meetings,
express their views and as a total
community, lobby for change. But our
world is not perfect and not everyone
comes to our meeting. Yet as far as we
can see we are the only body that is
there open to the whole community to
come and say what is on their mind.
There are many great groups in
Kaiwaka but each is focused on a their
own primary objective. Each does what
it is set up to do very well but none
aims to be a voice on everything for
the whole community.
So what would we like?
Three things.
1) For everyone in Kaiwaka and
surrounds to realise they are welcome
to attend Kaiwaka Can at any time or
to ask to get our emails on things
happening.
2) For special interest groups to let us
know and keep us in touch regarding
projects and activities you need help
with.
3) And more than anything, for those
people sitting out there with leadership
skills, drive and a passion for our great
little town, to join and help us bring
about the change we look for.
Derek Christensen (Chair)
Meeting: Wednesday June 12th,
Archie Bull Hall (behind the Anglican
Church) at 5.30pm.
SCHOOL PHOTOS WANTED

This week’s photo, the next generation, was taken in 1950 - please can you help
identify anyone in this photo? Kaiwaka School. These young students would
have been born in the1940 - 1945 era. Guess who is sixth from the left in the

REPERTORY
THEATRE
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jnr
We had a brilliant season of Disney’s
Beauty and the Beast Jnr. All cast
members were aged 17 or less – and
the standard of the singing and acting
was excellent. Audiences were dazzled
by the visual spectacle – the costumes,
makeup, set, props and lighting were
brilliant. A huge support crew worked
tirelessly to make this show happen for
the youngsters. And we exceeded box
office targets.
Thank you very much for supporting
our theatre and our talented youngsters.
‘This is Your Captain Speaking’ –
Dinner Theatre comedy
It’s a play, musical, pantomime, movie
and a dinner show. It’s a madcap, high-
flying comedy. A great show for
people who don’t normally go to live
theatre. We have delayed the
performance dates of this show. We
will now have six shows at the
beginning of November, over three
weekends. Peter Matheson is to be the
director. Auditions will be held in July/
August.
TheatreFest 2019
A small cast of young performers is
starting rehearsals soon with a One Act
Play, to take to the Local TheatreFest
in Dargaville in late July. There will be
one opportunity to see this play at ORT
before the TheatreFest. More details to
follow.
Costume Hire
The theatre has a wide range of
costumes for hire. Reasonable rates.

LEST WE FORGET
JUNE 6 1944
WWII D-DAY
It is 75 years since the D-Day
landings at Normandy during World
War II. Operation Overlord was the
largest naval, air and land operation the
world has ever seen. Five beaches
along the Normandy coast were the
target, and they were named, from east
to west, Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha
and Utah.
The following poem is by
Juno Veteran, the late Cyril
Crain - pictured
NORMANDY
‘Come and stand in memory
Of men who fought and died
They gave their lives in Normandy
Remember them with pride.
Soldiers, Airman, sailors
Airborne and marines
Who in civvy life were tailors
and men who worked machines.
British and Canadian
And men from USA
Forces from the Commonwealth
They all were there that day
To Juno, Sword and Utah
Beaches of renown
Also Gold and Omaha
That’s where the ramps went down.
The battle raged in Normandy
Many lives were lost
The war must end in victory
And this must be the cost
When my life is over
And I reach the other side
I’ll meet my friends from Normandy
And shake their hands with pride.’
While no New Zealand military units
landed on the beaches of Normandy,
individual New Zealanders did.
Brigadier
James
Hargest,
New
Zealand’s official observer with the
Allied forces, went ashore with the
British 50th Division on D-Day, and
radar specialist Ned Hitchcock landed
amidst the carnage on Omaha Beach
the following day. Other New
Zealanders like Jack Ingham were on
the ships and planes that carried troops
to France on 6 June – D-Day – and in
the months that followed. These young
men served with the Royal Air Force
(RAF), Royal Navy (RN) or Merchant
Navy. Some were in charge of landing
craft, vessels that carried troops and
tanks to the invasion. Others were
seamen or officers on battleships,
destroyers or hospital ships.
New Zealanders in the RAF were
among the crews of Dakotas and
gliders, which carried airborne troops.
Other New Zealanders flew in fighters
and bombers, sent out on operations in
support of the landings.

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSOCIATION
THANK YOU
A big thank you to Tumua Manu,
outside back for the Super Rugby team
the Waikato Chiefs, for taking time out
of his days off to spend with our under
11s, 13s and 14s Otamatea Hawks
players, answering questions and
sharing some drills with each team.
Inspiring the next generation.
RUGBY
Advance notice – there is a big day of
rugby coming up at our grounds on
Saturday 22nd June. Starting with the
U7s and the U9s Rally Days
(Maungaturoto, Eastern, Wellsford and
Tomarata all playing), followed by
Otamatea Haws U14s then the
Otamatea Hawks U11s and finishing
off with our Hawks seniors (Reserves
and Premiers). Mark it in your diary!
KAIWAKA SQUASH
Did you know that squash is widely
considered to be the healthiest sport?
This is because squash improves your
aerobic fitness, burns off calories,
boosts flexibility and sprint speed,
improves
hand-eye
co-ordination,
develops the strength and power of
your muscles and boosts your
cardiovascular fitness. Whew!!
If you are keen to give squash a try,
simply turn up to our courts on our
club nights, Mondays from 5.30pm
(the door to the squash courts is
opposite the tennis courts).
If you would like to join our club, an
annual membership gives you access
to the courts 24/7 with free lights. To
purchase a membership contact Bruce
Leslie on leswa212@gmail.com .
KSA FUNDRAISER: SAVE-A-
LIFE KEYRING
If you have one of these keyrings, you
could save a life!
The Save-a-Life keyring has a capsule
which contains a soluble aspirin.
Chewed or placed under
the tongue, an aspirin can
make all the difference
when
someone
is
experiencing signs of a
heart attack. The aspirin
potentially helps keep a
patient alive for what
paramedics call “The Golden
Hour”. This is the time between when
the attack begins, paramedics arriving
on the scene and the time it takes to
transport the patient to hospital.
The keyrings are $15 for a 3-pack - a
small price to pay for potentially
saving somebody’s life. Buy one for
someone you love.
Contact me on:
cherylanderson051@gmail.com
and I can drop them off to you.

From Thelma’s
Scrapbook …
Queen’s Birthday
Part 2
Probably our most popular baked recipe
from the legacy of Queen Victoria and her
family is the slice we love either bought
readyrnade from a bakery, enjoyed with tea
or coffee at a cafe, or number of
monuments and statues, made at home on
one of those ‘fill the tins’ baking days.
Louise Cake wins this popularity
accolade. It was created to mark the
wedding in 1871 of Queen Victoria's
sixth child and fourth daughter,
Princess Louise of England. She married
a commoner, and their wedding cake
stood five feet high (one-and-a-half
metres) and weighed 225 pounds (over
a hundred kilograms).
A slice of this wedding cake was
auctioned in 2009 in an antiques
auction and fetched £215 from the
successful bidder.
Princess Louise was the rebel daughter of
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She was
liberal minded, supporting the suffragist
movement, and was a prolific artist and
sculptor. Perhaps she was the first ‘People’s
Princess’, as it appears none of (Queen
Victoria’s other children was thought well
enough of to have a ‘cake’ named after
them.
There is not much that is cakey about
Louise Cake. It is a slice that did not morph
into something different as it passed from
the nineteenth to the twentieth century
and then on to the twenty—first century.
This delicious shortcake base topped with
raspberry jam and a lightly crunchy
coconut meringue is easily made, especially
when the base is made with a melt-and-
mix method.
Here is my take on this all-time favourite.
LOUISE CAKE
100g butter
1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1
1
/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking
powder
1/4 cup raspberry jam
3/4cup sugar
3/4 cup fine, desiccated coconut
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line the bottom
of an 18 x 26cm slice tin with baking
paper.
Melt butter in a saucepan large enough to
mix the base. Stir in the first measure of
sugar. Separate the eggs. Add the yolks to
the saucepan. Mix until combined. Sift the
flour and baking powder into the saucepan.
Mix to combine. Spread the mixture into
the prepared tin.
Spread the raspberry jam over the base.
Beat the egg whites until stiff. Beat in the
second measure of sugar. Mix in the
coconut.
Spread this over the jam.

Matariki at the Kauri Museum
On the right is a photo of our school’s submission for
the Matariki Festival Art Display at the Matakohe
Kauri Museum. It depicts the students’ interpretation

will displays from the other schools in the area. Well
worth a visit.

CROSS COUNTRY
Thursday 30th May brought perfect
weather for the cross country with a bit
of cloud cover and a cooling breeze.
The ground conditions were perfect for
a fast race with it firm under foot. The
outstanding results for the day go
to Sub Junior Dean Sheppard breaking
the 2018 record set by Ethan Van
Waveren of 14.27 with a new record of
14 minutes and 16 seconds. Dean’s
brother Joshua Sheppard broke the
intermediate boys record set by Jon
Duffy of 15.55 with a new record of 15
minutes
and
47
seconds.
The Level One PE class were chief
organisers and did a great job of
making sure all students knew what to
do and where to go.

BOOK REVIEW
I've
recently read The Dry by Jane
Harper. "It hasn't rained in Kiewarra for
two years. Tensions in the farming
community become unbearable when three
members of the Hadler family are
discovered shot to death on their property.
Everyone assumes Luke Hadler committed
suicide after slaughtering his wife and six-
year-old son. Federal Police investigator
Aaron Falk returns to his hometown for the
funerals and is unwillingly drawn into the
investigation. As suspicion spreads through
the town, Falk is forced to confront the
community that rejected him
twenty years earlier. Because
Falk and his childhood friend
Luke Hadler shared a secret,
one which Luke's death
threatens to unearth..."
This
is an engaging story, and
I'm looking forward to the
next Aaron Falk story,
which is new on our
shelves, along with her
other book The lost man.
From
the
Ashes
by
Deborah
Challinor. "
Four women.
Three families. One decade
of incredible change... Told in Deborah
Challinor's trademark style - equal parts
heart and humour - [this] is the first in a
moving new trilogy that follows the
fortunes of the women of three families
through the rapidly changing social and
cultural landscape of the 1950s and
1960s.".
What more needs to be said? If
you like Deborah Challinor books,
you'll like this one. I really enjoyed it,
including the descriptions of Auckland
back in the day. It has connections to
the Tamar series, which we have on
our shelves as well, but that isn't
essential reading to enjoy this one
See you in the library, Wendy

KAIPARA DAY AND NIGHT
Melanie Rodiga Opens Thursday 13 June
KAIPARA’S LATEST ACCESS LANE
Melanie Rodriga’s forty year career as
an international film-maker could be
characterised as a forty year career of
looking at light. In her working life,
Melanie has directed and or produced
eight feature films, as well as
numerous short films, TV dramas and
documentaries, both in New Zealand
and Australia. As a film director, each
day on location, she had to be attentive
to the four major filmic elements of
form, light, shadow, and the time of
day, and then she had to calculate how
these things relate to one other under
changing physical conditions.
For Rodriga, “Painting replicates the
attentiveness of filmmaking and also
frees me from the tyranny of it.
Industrial filmmaking is the art of
compromise, whereas painting is
making art that aims to be free of
compromise.”
In her large luminous oil paintings for
her solo exhibition Kaipara Day and
Night, Rodriga utilises soft contours
with muted, neutralised tones, with an
emphasis on atmosphere, mood and
vaporous effects. Melanie says that in
these paintings she is “contemplating
the relationship between time, form
and light. I’m interested in representing
the memory of a place’s atmosphere
and spiritual essence at a particular
time of day, shrouded and misted by
time. Living on the Kaipara, there is a
strong sense of the natural world,
however modified it is. Landscape and
light are always vibrant, dynamic and
changing.
They
evoke
strong
responses. I paint to express my own
response to the way light influences
form and colour in the landscape.”
In her work, Melanie acknowledges
other painters drawn to the west coast,
artists such as Sarah McBeath, Mark
Cross and Stanley Palmer, however she
often chooses Kaipara views that have
not been painted before. Moreover, she
likes to paint
the
same
aspect
again
and
again,
often at different times of day, often
working towards a diptych of day and
night, or dusk and dawn. Rodriga says,
“Most of my paintings are the views I
can see from my home at Oneriri -
from a peninsula bordered by the
Otamatea river. From there I can see
Pukeareinga, Pukekaroro and the
Brynderwyns in the north, over to
Tanoa and Ngaupiko Point, and to the
west, Whakapirau and Pahi.”
A treat for Gallery visitors will be the
opportunity to see Melanie painting the
second of two large canvases, a partner
to her completed painting ‘Takahoa,
Stormy Afternoon.’ These canvases
require more space than Melanie has in
her studio so, for her and us, this is a
great opportunity to use the gallery as a
working environment. Having been
part of the recent fundraising by
Mangawhai Artists, Melanie says, “I
shall be imagining, not only the mists
of the Kaipara, but also a beautiful new
Art Workspace that is soon to be built.”

Private Access - Peach Lane
With all the Kaipara District’s subdivisions it
can be difficult choosing a name to suit the
area. This latest road/private access is on the
Oneriri Peninsula. As one turns onto the Lane
and looks south across the Whakaki you can
see Peach Island, actually Ngamotu Island,
but has always been known to locals As
Peach Is. Back in the early 1900s Ernest
Hargreaves did grow peaches there, but they
are long gone.
Orchards, mainly apple, were a big plan for
the end of the peninsula as noted in NZ
Herald 12 May 1914: “
Opening Fruit lands,
Experimental Orchard: The planting of shelter trees
will be the first measure taken by the Kaipara Fruit
Lands
Development
Association
towards
the
development of the property of over 11,000 acres,
which it recently purchased in the Otamatea district…”
With adverts continuing - N Z Herald 14
August 1917:
“Komiti and Puketotara [Oneriri]. The
Twin Fruit Colonies of the Kaipara. First-Class Fruit
lands, Easy of Access, Glorious Beaches and Splendid
Fishing...”
The land was never sold for
orchards. Port Albert remained the great
apple orchard area
