KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Well

another

month

crossed off the calendar. Having past

the shortest day it is so good to know

the sun is heading south again and it is

getting a bit of warmth in it.

June was rather good for its time of

year. We had all sorts. There were icy

cold days and frosts in some places no

doubt as where we are the temperature

was down to 0 degrees. Then there

were miserable cold easterlies and

westerlies thrown in, all have different

degrees of dampness and we had a

vicious thunderstorm early in the

month. The fog hung around till

midday on 3 days. We have not had the

rain we expected however the damp

nights left a lot of dew around in the

mornings with long shadows takes a bit

for the shaded areas to dry out.

Well the water table is extremely

low. The Brynderwyn Waterfall is

scarcely a trickle now and drains at the

golf course are still dry (unheard of for

this time of year). It is great to see and

hear of so many animals having covers

and boots big and small made for them

to wear.

I am so glad the sun is tracking south

again having passed the shortest day

and is a little bit warmer in the sun

also.

Here we go again, for June 2019 we

had 104mm and for 2018 we had

318mm.

Our wettest June since 1987 was 2018

with 318mm and the driest was 2012

with 52mm.

For the first 6 months of 2019 we have

had 400mm, and the first 6 months of

2018 we had 1131mm.

Our wettest first 6 months since 1987

was 2018 with 1131mm and the driest

was 1987 with 333mm.

At our house for June we had rain

on 16 days and for 2018 we had rain on

11 days.

Derek, from Hakaru Valley, tells me

the rainfall at the Mason farm since

1976 that the driest January to June for

2019 was 402.50mm and the wettest

was 2018 with 981mm. The last

wettest January to June was 2018 and

the driest was 2019.

Ok I think is enough to digest.

‘

Poor old Paddy and Murphy again - Paddy

walks into the site office carrying a flask.

Murphy asks what he has there. “Tis a new

flask,” replies Paddy. “What does it do

then?” asks Murphy. Paddy says "it keeps

hot tings hot and cold tings cold". So

Murphy asks, "So what you got in it then?"

Paddy replies, "I have two cups of coffee

and an ice cream.”

Take care out there in our winter

conditions. Be kind to each other

. ~ Bev

From NIWA: ‘Of the six main centres

in June 2019, Auckland was the

warmest and sunniest, Christchurch

was the coldest, Wellington was the

wettest and least sunny and Dunedin

was the driest.’

Attendance was down to 9 at the

June meeting, this was due to

Flu and sickness, hope you are

all on deck by next meeting?

14 members attended the Mid Year

Christmas luncheon, the meal was

superb and the Students all did a

wonderful job of waitressing, they

were so polite and efficient. We were

sorry our special guest Ron Paiggi was

unable to join us so we could help

celebrate

his

99th

Birthday,

congratulations and love from us all

Ron, hope you are well again now.

TOPUNI 21 YEARS AGO

From The Rodney Times

Thursday 9 July 1998:

‘After almost 70 years of

business the Topuni mill will

grind to a halt at the end of this

month.

Employing generations of locals

throughout the years, the Topuni

Roundwod plant is the backbone

of the small settlement 12

kilometres north of Wellsford.

The plant produces about 15,000

cubic metres of treated timber

roundwood and sawn timber

products yearly.

The owners

(Carter

Holt

Harvey) cite pricing pressures, the Asian downturn and the need to cut costs as

reasons for its demise.

For Mr Rickey Nathan (pictured above) with Joe Hemana the news is a

disappointing end to his 30-year career at the mill …’

A number of the workers took redundancy or transferred to other CHH

operations. The houses disappeared. The closure was noticed in Kaiwaka -

numbers declined at school, the playcentre and the rugby club.

But the pine trees still grew!

The Topuni mill has survived. Robert Grimmett took ownership, moved the

mill site and still operates Topuni Timber. The forestry is owned by Matariki

Rayonier.

WINTER WRITING

WORKSHOPS

COMING TO

MANGAWHAI

Award-winning

author Michael

Botur

bringing some

creative

warmth

Mangawhai

this winter with

a course of

creative writing

workshops.

Held on all five

Saturdays during August, the course is

focused on fiction, primarily short

stories, and will be delivered in the

Mangawhai Pioneer Village church

hall (movie theatre).’

The course will help new and

emerging writers to learn about plot,

characterisation, prose, point-of-view

and other literary essentials with a

focus on ‘keeping it real’ and staying

on top of digital publishing trends. The

course will emphasise empowerment

and confidence, with beginners warmly

welcomed.

Botur praised local author Judy Tindill

(pen-name Jude Thomas) for bringing

the course together.

“

Without people like Jude bringing this

together, people in Mangawhai would find

it very hard to learn fiction writing in

person – you would have to go to

Auckland

.”

“

Jude is one of many people tucked away

in the corners of Northland keeping

literature alive

,” Botur said. “

I published

a widely-read piece of journalism last

September revealing how many talented

and successful writers are living in

Northland’s small towns. It’s been

heartening to see Bevan Lawrence get the

Mangawhai Writers Group going. Now it’s

time to expand our homegrown talent with

some short, intense training for locals. We

should be at an advantage as hopefully a

lot of people in the room will already feel

comfortable around each other

.”

Participants are expected to attend all

five workshops, with some discretion

for drop-ins.

Week Two of the course author Fiona

Sussman

sharing

her

expertise.

Sussman is author of two award-

winning novels and many short stories.

The course should appeal to the many

creative people who live and work in

the Mangawhai area, as the same

artistic mindset which creates painting,

pottery or carving can create literary

works of art.

“

Artists will be provided with a positive

creative, learning environment

,” Judy

Tindill said. “

Our objective is to establish

a similar hub for writers to make art with

words, beginning with this introductory

series of workshops

.”

The fee for the five weekly classes is $385.

To book, email

judy@silvereyepress.co.nz or contact Judy

USES FOR LEMON JUICE:



Fine oatmeal mixed with

Lemon Juice in the palm of the hand, and

then rubbed well in, makes an excellent

dirt and stain remover. It will also help to

keep the hands both soft and white.


Icing sugar mixed with lemon juice

makes a delicious biscuit filling.


Beat lemon juice into mashed potatoes

to make to make them taste more

palatable. Allow 1 dessertspoon lemon

juice to each 1 lb potatoes. Especially

good when potatoes happen to be on the

old side!


If mint sauce is made with the juice of

lemons, it is much nicer than when

vinegar is used.


If steak is rubbed about an hour before

frying with lemon juice ,it will be

improved with tenderness and flavour.


Tripe, cutlets, fish croquettes etc, are

more tasty if a little lemon juice is poured

on a few seconds before serving.


To whiten piano keys, bone or ivory

handles of cutlery, apply a paste made

with ordinary whiting and lemon juice.

Leave on for about 5 minutes, then rinse

and polish.



Rust marks can be removed with

lemon juice. Stretch the stained area over

a bowl of boiling water and squeeze

lemon juice on it. Allow to remain a few

minutes, then wash. Repeat if necessary. If

stain is old, first sprinkle with

salt, squeeze lemon juice on it

and leave to dry in the sun.

The right amount of sunlight is so good

for us because it directly influences our

feel good hormone (serotonin). That’s

why being outdoor generally makes us

feel happier. We also need sunlight to

help us make Vitamin D, which helps

prevent bone disease (osteoporosis)

and

impaired

immunity.

It’s

recommended that we get 10 to 20

minutes of sunlight each day to stay

healthy.

The sun radiates numerous types of

waves including UVA and UVB. UVB

are shorter rays which hits the top layer

of the skin (the epidermis)

causing damage that you can see

and

feel

redness,

inflammation and burns. UVA are

longer rays able to penetrate the

epidermis and into the dermis

where they destroy cells essential

for healthy skin. Their danger lies

in the fact that we can’t feel or

see the damage because it’s deep

in the dermis.

The damage accumulates over the

years and shows up as solar

keratosis, irregular pigmentation,

laxity and possibly skin cancer

much later in life.

Here are the interesting facts that

no one gets told - UVB occur

mostly in summer or between

11am to 3pm when sunburn

occurs. UVA occur all year

round,

from

sunrise to

sunset, at

the same

intensity,

even on cloudy days. Because UVA

rays bypass the upper skin layer, we

can’t see or feel the damage so we tend

not to wear sun protection in the winter

or on cloudy days but this is when skin

stem cells, fibroblasts (cells that make

collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid)

are damaged causing our skin to age.

Most sun damage and photo ageing is a

result of exposure to UVA on a daily

basis – gardening, driving, walking.

That is why it is important to protect

your skin even in winter, not just when

on holiday or down at the beach.

Protection can be sun-wise clothes,

hats and a good broad spectrum

sunscreen which can protect from both

UVB and UVA rays.

Next month, I will be sharing about

SPF’s, the pros and cons of chemical

vs physical blockers.

SUNSHINE AND SKIN – PART I

COME DANCE

WITH ME

On Sunday 16 June our district line

dancers held a mid-winter Xmas-

themed social to raise funds for the St

Johns Ambulance service. The event

was held in the Hakaru Hall, which

had been beautifully decorated with

silver lights. The social resulted in a

generous donation of $500 to St Johns

Mangawhai. Our thanks to all who

took part and helped make the

afternoon a success.

‘We said to all line dancers

“Come Dance With Me”

To raise funds for St Johns you see.

We were Over the Moon as all towns

came together -

Mangawhai, Paparoa, Wellsford and

more danced without pause,

Happy, Happy Happy to support the

cause.

No One Horse Towns are we.

We Walked the Line, and were

Beyond the Sea;

Gypsy Queen beat the Lonely Drum,

no Achey Breakey knees were seen.

It was a Red Hot Salsa mid Xmas

theme

A Waltz to Heaven with plentiful food

and twinkling lights set the tone,

Flying High to benefit St John

Til One and One and One we went

Rolling Home.’

Fiona B is back in the office after her

trip and is settling back in, so thanks to

Fiona P and Bruce L who kept the

office running in her absence.

A very brief bit of history about

Linking Hands … we were set up

originally as an information outlet, to

link the public with help in various

health areas that they may not have

been aware was available to them.

In 2008, the Dargaville Health Shuttle

were upgrading their vehicle and

offered their old vehicle to Linking

Hands, so the service expanded to

include transport for people who were

struggling to get to their Health

appointments. We have grown a lot

since our humble beginnings and now

have vehicles based in Maungaturoto,

Kaiwaka, Mangawhai and Bream Bay-

including a wheelchair hoist van.

If you need help with transport to any

Health related appointments, give us a

call on 4318969. We appreciate as

much notice as possible of your

appointment times, as it allows us to

juggle things if we need to and help as

many people as we can.

Our drivers are all volunteers and an

invaluable part of Linking Hands, so

without them, we would not be able to

offer this great service to our

communities.

Our office is located at 131 Hurndall

St. Maungaturoto. We have 3

computers at the office, connected to

the internet, that are available to the

public for a small fee. They are all

connected to printers as well.

We have a small selection of books and

jigsaws available for sale as a means of

income to help towards our running

costs, as we are a non-government

organisation and rely on donations and

grants to keep us running.

If you have some free time, enjoy

driving and would like to volunteer as

a driver for this very worthwhile

organisation, pop into the office and

have a chat!

This is a volunteer community service

that runs on donations and small

grants. Thank you for your support.

Dargaville book swap

Come in and see the great range of

books we brought back from

everyone. We have these titles until

December.

Overdue reminders

Someone commented the other day that

she felt guilty about creating work for

me because of her overdue books and

the reminders I send her. We've solved

that by setting her up to

receive automated text

messages. We can have

texts and/or emails sent to

you by the library system,

and both include a courtesy

message 3 days before any

items are due to alert you to

the upcoming date. If you

would like this too, contact

me or the library volunteer

on duty.

Book reviews

I've recently read Hello

darkness by Peter Wells.

"Peter Wells is an award-

winning writer and film

maker. Hello Darkness tells

the story of facing a

challenge and meeting it

with grace, intelligence, wit

and resilience... This is a

book for anyone who

wonders who they will

respond when the end is

near." The book is an

excellent read, and I have

hesitation

recommending it. It's on

our Rental Non-Fiction

shelves (616 WEL).

Fishing for Māui by Isa Pearl Ritchie.

''A novel about food, whānau, and

mental illness... Valerie reads George

Eliot to get to sleep – just to take her

mind off worries over her patients, her

children, their father and the next

family dinner. Elena is so obsessed

with health, traditional food, her

pregnancy and her blog she doesn’t

notice that her partner, Malcolm the

ethicist, is getting himself into a moral

dilemma of his own making. Evie

wants to save the world

one chicken at a time.

Meanwhile her boyfriend,

Michael is on a quest to

reconnect with his Māori

heritage and discover his

own identity. Rosa is eight

years old and lost in her

own fantasy world, but

she’s the only one who

can tell something’s not

right. Crisis has the power

to bring this family

together, but will it be too

late?" This was a nominee

for the NZ Booklovers

Award this year, and an

enjoyable read. It's on the

Rental Fiction shelves in

the library.

You can place a request to

borrow any or all of these

books by logging in to

your

account

Enterprise*, or via our

library app, and I'll contact

you when the item(s) are

ready for you to pick up.

See you in the library, Wendy

DNA in FAMILY HISTORY

On Monday 22 July 2019, the Waipu

Genealogy Group will be welcoming

Michelle Patient for a full-day seminar

on using DNA testing in family history

research.

An Australian genealogist with Kiwi

roots, Michelle is also a scientist,

computer geek and DNA enthusiast.

She grew up with a grandmother whose

family

stories,

photographs

and

memorabilia sparked her life-long

interest in genealogy.

In 1989 Michelle began searching for

her English half-sister, and in 2005 she

reconnected her mother with her birth

family. Adding DNA research to her

genealogy tool kit has increased the

range of Michelle’s methods, revealed

skeletons and broken down many brick

walls.

Topics covered in the seminar include

what DNA test results look like, and

how to start analysing them. There is

lots of question-time built-in to the

day’s schedule, and handouts will be

available

for

reference.

Bookings

for

the seminar are

essential – see

the

in this paper for

details.

The

Waipu

Genealogy

Group has been

around since the 1980s – no-one can

quite remember exactly when it started

now. The members meet once a month

to help each other with their family

history research, listen to engaging

guest speakers, and work towards

extending their family trees. There is a

wide range of backgrounds amongst

the members – some are descendants of

the Waipu settlers, some have

extensive European family histories…

everyone’s family tree is unique.

Years ago, mum would send me down

the road and around to the edge of the

new state-housing to Benson’s old

place, where, for ten shillings, I could

get a jar of creamed honey straight

from the vat.

Years later I would go with Capt.

Hansen out to farms in the dead of

night, to move hives in order to

pollinate kiwifruit orchards in the

Tauranga area. Despite the inevitable

stings I still like a bit of honey on my

toast.

On harking back to the title, if you

know why honey is so expensive then

read no further. The story, as far as I

understand, goes back to 1958 Mao

Zedong ordered all sparrows killed as

he said they ate too much grain. Mao

(1893 -1976) was responsible for

disastrous policies including ‘The

Great

Leap

Forward’-

mass

mobilisation of labour, agricultural and

industrial. The result instead, was a

massive decline in agricultural output,

which, together with poor harvests, led

to famine and the death of millions of

people. Mao had all his obedient

communist peoples kill sparrows by the

hundreds of thousands. This caused the

insect

population

grow

exponentially. These insects ate all the

nectar leaving none for bees which then

died of starvation like so many of the

Chinese human population.

So even today, the Chinese people still

have to pollinate the flowers on fruit

trees with little fluffy brushes to get the

fruit to grow. They have also been

importing bees for some time.

In the nineteen-eighties, when living in

the republic of South Korea, we found

it difficult to get some basic western

food items. Of course, we took things

with us, like crunchy peanut butter,

honey, jam and marmite. When our

items cleared customs all the items had

been confiscated except the marmite

which had been opened and a finger

scoop removed then, lid replaced,

returned to us.

Some weeks later in the black- market

we found most of our goods including

perfumed soap made in New Zealand.

In the Korean supermarkets we could

see packets of ‘white powder’ but you

couldn’t tell if it was baking powder,

baking soda, icing sugar or even just

rice flour, unless

of course you

could

read

Korean.

Even

then it would not

be named as any

word you could

understand. Of course one couldn’t

open a packet and taste it.

At the UN Commissary, I was able to

get some things, for example bacon,

this came in a can packaged in

Denmark. I managed to fix the problem

by going to a bakery and pointing to

ingredients out the back and buying

small amounts. However, it had been

some time since we had enjoyed honey

until, by accident, in a pharmacy

window, we saw golden liquid in jars.

There was no problem identifying it as

honey, because several dead bees

floated in the top layer.

I now have a friend who lives in

Mangawhai whose bees produce

copious quantities of honey. On a

regular basis the combs are loaded up

and taken down country to a health

consortium which buys and packages it

for export. High quality Manuka honey

is most of the load, sixteen tonne in all,

from 800 - 900 hives. This is amazing

as worker bees only live for about six

weeks before their wings simply wear

out. The drones mate with the queen

during flight and mating results in the

loss of the drone’s abdominal

reproduction parts and therefore death.

The man who set up one of our leading

honey companies was originally taught

bee keeping by my friend Capt.

Hansen. Recently I’ve seen an Asian

woman literally

scrape dozens of

Manuka honey

tubs off the shelf

at Pack ‘n Save,

into a shopping

trolley, no doubt

to send home to

family

and

friends.

Although

obviously think

the price is high,

it’s much lower

here than in

China.
