Kaiwaka Bugle - 25 June, 2019

Page 1

Otamatea St John Area

Committee, in conjunction

with Kate’s Place, recently

funded a Life Skills and

Confidence Course for the

young people in our

community.

Ten applicants successfully

completed the course and a

hangi and presentation of

certificates was held to celebrate on

June 8 - pictured above.

The group went through Team

Building, First Aid Level 1, Budgeting

and

Planning,

Pre

Employment

requirements, Life Planning with a

motivational speaker, and some Fire

Brigade experience.

The course was instigated by Marj

Steiner and she and Kirsty Brown from

Kate’s

Place

carried

out

the

organisation, planning and running of

the course over six Sundays at the

Otamatea

John

hall

Kaiwaka. Kirsty also took four out of

the

six

classes.

The

students

appreciated her input and no doubt they

will contact her for their ongoing

growth.

Thank you to Bruce Ferguson, who

took the group through some team

building skills at the Scouts den, even

though he was in a wheelchair at the

time, and to the Fire Brigade for

putting on an awesome display of what

they actually do on the road.

They also had a great motivational

speaker in Greg Nathan who made

them all believe in themselves a little

more.

Stage Two of the course will be

commencing

soon.

Those

who successfully completed Stage One

will be fully funded by the Area

Committee to achieve the next level of

driving training, be it Learners,

Defensive, Restricted or a Full Licence.

Thank you to all those parents and

family members who supported this

group by attending the awards

ceremony. It was a great turnout and it

is especially important to our young

people to know they are supported.

Good job, Marj and Kirsty!

weekend. The fields are in great condition for mid winter!

Hall is available for use by the community. Plenty of space for your office or group to

have a centre close to the hub of Kaiwaka. Fees will be charged on a case by case

 NIWA forecaster Ben Noll says in the Far North, the winter solstice has about 4

ST JOHN OPPORTUNITY SHOP

AT KAIWAKA

Why volunteer with us? Our team say they

volunteer with St John op shops for many

reasons; to build friendships and meet new people, to

gain work experience, upskill, build confidence and

independence, or just to keep active.

Some volunteers help with customer service, others

prefer to be behind the scenes sorting items for sale.

There is the opportunity to get involved with our social

media or helping with deliveries.

If you have about 4 hours to spare each week we’d love

to hear from you, ideally for a morning or afternoon shift

between Monday and Saturday.

The Kaiwaka store supports the communities of Kaiwaka

and Maungaturoto and surrounding areas, including

Paparoa, Matakohe and Pahi. Over the last 9 years the

store has raised over $500,000 for defibrillators,

ambulance equipment, cadets and supporting St John in

the community.

Whatever your reasons for volunteering we may have a

role that suits you.

You can apply online

here: https://join.stjohn.org.nz/?job=37756VOLA or pop

in to the shop and talk to one of our volunteers. They can

tell you more about the role and help you decide if this is

right for you.

We are now planning this year’s event – annual

fundraiser that we have run for 35 years in a row.

While we have plenty of help running the event

set up and dismantle the shelves, as well as

support in moving and delivering items during the

week.

Without more support in this area we may have to

forego this year’s event.

MILLY O’LEARY

RETIRES

On Saturday June 8 an afternoon tea was held at

the Otamatea St John hall in Kaiwaka to honour

and farewell Milly O'Leary.

Milly is retiring after nine years of service to St

John and the community as manager of the Op

Shop. She approached the St John area

committee just over nine years ago with a plan

to open an Op Shop.

Initially the Area committee was cautious about

signing a year long lease with a manager who

had no retail experience. It couldn't have

worked out better! After one year the op shop

took over the next door shop as well and 4 years

ago the shop moved to the present much larger

premises, with the present staff of 8 volunteers.

Leading this team, Milly has raised over

$500,000 for St John services in our

community.

We wish Milly all the best and would like to

thank her for her dedicated service. Well done Milly, enjoy your retirement.

SOLAR ENERGY IN EUTOPIA ARTIST CAFÉ

The Eutopia Café in Kaiwaka has undergone a huge transformation into an

attractive and artistic stop-over for a coffee or a meal during a trip between

Auckland-Whangarei. The owners Marijke and Rob have worked many years on

this unique renovation with incredible passion and endless patience to finish the

many art pieces in every

detail.

Hot Water use

The kitchen at Eutopia Art

Café will use a lot of hot

water for dishwashing and

cleaning activities. For this

reason, the owners Marijke

and Rob have chosen to install

an European solar hot water

system,

designed

EWATEC Ltd.

The use of solar energy can

contribute a lot to reduce the

cost for producing the daily

hot water needs in NZ.

Domestic

hot

water

production

the

most

common application which

can be powered by solar

energy.

During summer almost all hot

water applications can be

provided by the solar system.

In the winter the sun may

provide 30% or more of the

required energy needs.

More than 8 months the Solar Hot

Water will produce FREE hot

water between 40-80°celsius

The other 4 months the solar

cylinder will have produced

preheated water between 25-40°

celsius. If the preheated water is

not

hot

enough,

the

gas

instantaneous heater tops it up

A solar hot water system with the

best performance for the NZ climate

consist of following elements:

- Advanced Flat glazed collector:

toughened glass and selective

absorbers

- Stainless steel hot water cylinder

- Solar controller and temperature

sensors for performance monitoring. ~

Eric Jansseune, EWATEC Ltd.

The past month has been

relatively quiet with a reduced

attendance, mainly because of

sickness and work commitments.

However, our gatherings have been no

less enjoyable as we share a meal on a

Tuesday night.

Muriwai Challenge Camp

I have been fortunate to attend another

District function, this time, the

Challenge camp concert at Muriwai.

For a week 15 young people who have

various disabilities are given a chance

to mix with other young people and are

given activities that not only challenge

them but also enhance their social

skills.

When I asked one couple what they

had done for the week they said, “we

went out for dinner alone for the first

time in 18years”, just another

indication of the commitment many

families make when they have disabled

children. The concert these young

people gave was quite inspirational.

Speakers

Our speakers have again given us food

for thought. From Llew Smart, who

spoke of his time as a police officer

and the way he interacts with people in

the

community;

Libby

Jones,

currently a District Councillor and

Health Board rep who gave us an

explanation of her work, especially in

the Health Board; and Marlon, who

came from the Philippines and gave us

an insight into the differences between

pig farming in the two countries as

well as the challenges of obtaining a

Visa and adjusting to a life in a

different country.

Tradescantia

Having had a picnic table installed at

Whakapirau, we are now looking at the

best type of table we could have placed

at Maungaturoto Primary School. We

are also looking at ways in which we

can get rid of the tradescantia plant

along the stream at the school.

President Changeover

The 25 June sees us changing

Presidents from Keith Shadbolt to Les

Kenworthy-Thompson.

Each President has a one year term and

each one puts their own “stamp” on the

position.

Calf Litter for Compost

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.

Do ensure our emergency vehicles have an

Last week a team from Kaiwaka Can

met with a number of senior council

staff and councillors. The Mayor was

present, the CEO, the senior town

planner, a northern roading alliance

member, the manager of liaison

services as well as our two local

councillors, Jonathan Larsen and Peter

Wethey. We appreciate their time and

their interest and we enjoyed especially

a walk through the central part of

Kaiwaka and under the bridge to see

some of the dreams we have of the

future. The traffic roaring through

provided a suitable accompaniment.

Our discussions centred on the purpose

of Kaiwaka Can and how we are able

to communicate with Council and its

various departments. Over the past year

this has been a problem and we wanted

Council help to sort it out. Hopefully

we are well on the way to a better

arrangement.

One of the constant questions put to us

by Council over the past year is how

representative we are of the people of

Kaiwaka. It was pointed out there are

many great organisations within

Kaiwaka, with goals and plans and

needs. We did point out though that

there are several differences. The first

is that we are the only group set up

specifically by Council to act as a

channel of communication with them.

Secondly, we are the only group that

looks at the whole picture to try and

bring some sort of design for the whole

community. And thirdly we are the

only group that has had Council

appoint a liaison officer.

Sometimes these questions come from

the community too. Let us say very

clearly, we do not believe we have the

sole right to represent Kaiwaka. We do

not override or ignore the needs of

other groups. And there was no

meeting of the entire community to

hold elections to appoint us.

Having said that, we are open at any

time to anyone living in the wider

community that makes up Kaiwaka.

Anyone can come to any meeting at

any time or raise issues in between

meetings. We also try, mainly through

The Bugle, to let people know what we

are working on and people are free to

question, object, disagree or raise

alternatives. In fact the more people get

involved the better. The more people

come and make their views known, the

better. And the more people with gifts

and enthusiasm we can weave into the

mix the better. We are sending out our

minutes to more and more people and

groups and anyone can have a copy –

just let us know your email. We are

about to start a newsletter which will

tell people what we are doing in a more

palatable form than a set of minutes.

And we long to have people come and

help shape us and move us forward, to

realise all the potential there is in our

little gateway to the north.

Phew! Having got all that off my chest,

we also have to say that the meeting

with the Mayor and friends didn’t

result in any progress on our major

projects, especially Kaiwaka Central

which aims to tidy up and better

connect the centre of Kaiwaka. Anyone

unsure of what this project includes can

simply get in touch and we will send

all the details. We did get a good

response from the new town planner as

we try and work around State Highway

One to get the place developing. But

there are more plans, more things

worth doing and we intend to persist

with our goals and dreams.

How about joining us to achieve these?

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSN

THANK YOU

National Volunteer Week has just

wrapped up – this year’s theme was

“Whiria te tangata – weaving the

people together”. Which got me

thinking. Thinking about all the people

who congregate at the KSA – people

coming to play sport, people coming to

enjoy social functions, people coming

to cheer on their whanau and friends

playing sport, people coming to enjoy

our wide open spaces, maybe walk

around our Fitness Trail, or bring their

kiddies to our playground & BBQ

area. And thinking of all the volunteers

at the KSA who make it all happen –

the people who run our sports clubs,

the coaches, the managers, the people

who maintain our facilities, the people

working behind the scenes to make it

all happen.

The KSA is the hub of Kaiwaka,

weaving people and our community

together and it is here because of the

tireless work of our volunteers.

Thank you!

From Thelma’s

Scrapbook...

THAT’LL TEACH YA!

Last year I entered a

marathon. The race started, and

immediately I was the last of the

runners. It was embarrassing.

The guy who was in front of me,

second-to-last, was making fun of me.

He said, “Hey buddy, how does it feel

to be last?”

I replied, “You really want to know?”

Then I dropped out of the race!

Wrong time, wrong place, for a

boatie’s dream to ever come about.

However, once every two years, back

to the Thames they went, from New

Zealand, determined ‘Butties’. This

name describes a people and a life style

that comes from being canal boat

owners. If one has a canal boat it is the

cheapest way to live comfortably in the

U.K. On the Thames there is every

kind of floating vessel from ‘Wedding

Cakes’ (big white things with two

people perched on the top) to Kayaks

strapped together with a picnic table on

the top. Young guys even surf on the

weir overflows.

It had been a long time dream, but one

day I finally picked up the phone to

order the steel to begin building a long

boat. To one side a magazine sat open -

Vinnings of Nelson had a vessel for

sale - a Logan launch - $19,000. I

bought it! Weeks passed, a toilet fitted,

paint and furnishings and she was

ready to ship. The "Rivendell” slipped

nicely into a forty foot container with

just enough room to wedge the gunnels

inside. We shipped her to Shepperton

marina because they had a travel lift

but somehow, for a week, she sat on

the dock in Singapore before we could

enjoy our holiday.

If one’s boat is moved every few days

there is no mooring fee, so cycling the

tow path to the nearest village for

provisions is wiser than mooring in a

village marina. One of the beauties of

living this way is that the scenery

changes every mile, another is that

houses pubs and churches were built

facing the water- pubs have free

mooring but you can’t live there. The

canals provide a moving entertainment

every

day,

the

birds,

fishermen, animals, and

other boats are constantly

changing.

Britain’s canals made the

country strong, thousands of

tons of materials and goods

were shipped across the land

by barges towed by faithful

Clydesdales, this, while

other

places

carried

everything by camel or

horse.

Charles

Dickens

travelled by barge and

in memoirs tells stories

such as, in one incident,

men who were building

a canal and bricking its

insides found that the

plan for the digging was

in a straight line. This

meant that their local

drinking house was

directly in the way, so

without much attention

to authority they simply

built a bump in the

canal to accommodate

the pub.

Excited to finally be

motoring up the Thames in our own

classic launch, my wife and I pulled

into the first lock, tied up and waited

for it to fill. I saw the cabin had a haze

inside and went to investigate, in the

forward area the carpet was floating! I

was so shocked I called to my wife

who was deck-mate up on the dock

edge,” Oh Sh*t! We’re sinking!” The

dock master, who was just passing by

at that moment, overheard and

exclaimed “You can’t sink in my lock!

You need to get out of my lock! Should

I call for help? Should I call the Fire

Brigade?”

Moments later, now calm, I realised

what was wrong. The dock master had

also calmed and since the end gates

were opening he directed us to a siding.

The engine was now switched off, the

problem no longer worsening. Up

forward in the bilges a jubilee hose clip

had failed and the exhaust hose was

pumping water and fumes into the boat.

The bilge pump dealt to it, but some

two days of drying out had to take

place before normality and laughing

could occur.

Unfortunately all good things must

come to an end and eventually we

needed to sell the boat, due to the

economic

situation

Britain.

Unfortunately, at that time we were

unable to get back anything even near

the value of the boat. Also returning bi-

annually the wintering over was taking

its toll on the paint, the varnish and the

covers. I have to thank my wife

especially for the excellent job she did

of cleaning out the bilges before we

sold.
