‘Customs officer Tina is known for

her extraordinary sense of smell. It's

almost as if she can sniff out the guilt

on anyone hiding something. But

when Vore, a suspicious-looking

man, walks past her, her abilities are

challenged for the first time ever.

Tina can sense Vore is hiding

something she can't identify. Even

worse, she feels a strange attraction to

him. As Tina develops a special bond

with Vore and discovers his true

identity, she also realizes the truth

about herself.’

Purchasing a car and providing driving lessons for

people who have their Learner’s licence and are

aiming for their Restricted has been a great success

(approx 80% of learners have passed their licence on

the first attempt – the norm is 20%.)

However, because this is so popular, we now need

more Driver Mentors. The requirements are not huge

and the number of clients each Mentor has is a matter

of personal choice (as is the time that they make

available.) Training is given. If you believe you can

65TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Doug and Norma, nee Clendon, Leslie were married on 26th June 1954.

They celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary this year, with most of their

immediate family, by going to Clendon House, Rawene, which is Norma's

ancestors family home.

They have 4 children, 8 grand kids and 9 great grand kids – with only 1 grand

child not making it on the day. Also the wives, partners and 2 cousins attended.

The day was spent by catching up, remembering previous times and getting a

refresher on the family heritage. A great day was had by all.

As one Rotary year ends, we have a

change in leadership at both local and

District level. We look forward to

another year in which we can continue

to support the community using the

resources we have available.

Paul Harris Fellow Awards

On Tuesday, 9 July we hosted our new

District Governor, Ian, who comes

from Norfolk Island. A special

highlight of the night was the

presentation of Paul Harris Fellow

awards to Stella Clyde, a Rotarian and

Terri Donaldson - pictured below. Both

these people have made a huge

contribution to our community through

the years. A PHF sapphire was also

presented to Ken Littlejohn, a past

member of the club for his ongoing

support of the Rotary Foundation.

Congratulations to the three of you and

thank you for what you do. During the

next six months Ian and his wife will

visit all of the 40+ clubs in our District.

These visits enable the District

Governor to find out what is happening

in each club and offer support where he

can. It is always good to have an

awards night happening at the same

time.

Community Connexions

The Community Connexions afternoon

was well attended, but mainly by

presenters. There will be a

follow-up to this event and

all present were asked to

bring two new people along

so that we can look at the

best

way

forging

connexions

the

community.

Gail

Fotheringham

(KDC),

facilitated the afternoon very

well making sure that we

didn’t exceed the two hours

allocated. It was obvious

from the presentations that

many local groups need some

volunteer support, so if you

have time to give a local group,

just talk to someone in that group to

find out more about it. Many who have

lived here for a number of years do not

always know what is available and by

building up a database, new arrivals

will also be given information that will

be invaluable to them. Being involved

not only supports a group but it is a

great way to meet new people.

Fifty Years

On 24 August we are holding a

luncheon to celebrate 50 years from the

time the Club was chartered. We are

hopeful of having several of the

Charter members along. If you know of

anyone who may be interested, please

give Eileen a call on 0211420357. We

don’t want people missing out because

they did not know about it. We will

have a very good speaker and an

awesome meal.

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.

The Kaiwaka Can meeting last

Wednesday was full of interest for

those present (and it was a good

number too including councillors from

KDC and NRC). We had a long agenda

of the usual items, all the things we

want to do but haven’t quite achieved

yet. But our time went on two items of

real interest for us.

Solar Power

Eric Janseunne whose work is in solar

power supply, presented to us a vision

of what could be for Kaiwaka. He is

committed as his contribution to

community, to explore ways of setting

up solar power supply for Kaiwaka that

benefits in particular those for whom a

large power bill is a constant challenge.

His vision is for a number of solar

power units on north facing chunks of

land, that feed into the national grid

and the value generated by that input

be returned to shareholders in the

scheme by way of reduced power

charges. He has done extensive studies

on schemes like this around the world

and believes Kaiwaka would be a great

place for a trial in New Zealand. Rick

Stolwerk our local NRC councillor was

quick to note the possibilities of this

throughout Northland.

We will work with Eric by linking him

with people with expertise in this area

and then as Kaiwaka Can, looking for

the ways in which we can help advance

such a scheme. Early days but a highly

stimulating and exciting presentation.

Footbridge - a means to go from one

end of town to the other without

crossing SH1

Our other Rik (Rik Schijf) brought a

proposal regarding the footbridge we

have been asking for as part of the

Kaiwaka Central scheme. He is keen

for us to go out to the community to

gain support signatures as we look for

ways to get this bridge in place.

The bridge is designed to go across the

Kaiwaka River just to the west of the

southern bridge on State Highway One.

It would allow people from the west

side of Kaiwaka (everything from

Kaiwaka Clothing to Shamrock Service

Station) to get across the river without

having to cross SH 1. Longer term we

are planning to see parking on Oneriri

Road (where there is informal parking

now) which would also help people

coming into the centre of Kaiwaka.

Once across the footbridge, people

could either continue up the west side

(Eutopia, Cheese Shop and the factory

complexes) or walk under the bridge

and come up by Mormors and the other

shops there and on to the library, hall,

Four Square and the school.

Green Space

We do also plan to tidy up and extend

the useable green space each side of the

river on the north, tidy up under the

bridge and install disabled access as

well. But the footbridge would be a

great first step. Rik and a team of

helpers will be putting together a

petition for Council to get some

movement on this. The footbridge is in

the Township Improvement Plan but

has no date or budget alongside it.

A good set of discussions for one

meeting and we look forward to

progress on both of these.

Don’t forget, Kaiwaka Can is open to

everyone at any time as we look to

make Kaiwaka the best place it can be.

Meetings third Wednesday each

month, 5.30pm, Archie Bull Hall.

KAIWAKA CAN: Talking power

and talking footbridge...

A new weekly public transport service

covering the area from Kaiwaka to

Ruakaka is to begin a 12-month trial

from 1st August. ‘Bream Bay Link’

will be operated by locally based

Leabourn’s Passenger Services.

Regional Council Transport Strategic

Planning Officer Sharlene Selkirk says

the success of the trial will very much

depend on the public support it enjoys.

"Unfortunately,

SuperGold

card

holders will not be able to travel for

free at this point as we need to get an

idea of passenger numbers/demand so

we can seek formal approval from

NZTA for the SuperGold service to be

included."

She says supporting information

the

ERIC OFFERS FREE

HOME HOT WATER

ENERGY AUDIT.

A positive first step to reduce your

energy bill and create more comfort.

Energy and water are the 2 most

important resources we all need daily.

Increasing energy prices and harsher

climate conditions are growing issues.

More than 80 % of buildings in NZ use

electricity for expensive hot water

heating.

EWATEC Ltd. offers a free home hot

water energy audit or a free visit to

evaluate an existing solar hot water

system or a DIY home energy audit

(questionnaire).

The hot water energy audit involves 2

parts: a walk-through home assessment

and

report

with

specific

recommendations.

The recommendations will highlight

which actions are needed to make your

hot water system more efficient and

comfortable, as well as a future advice

on feasibility to add a renewable

energy system to your home.

Energy savings between 5-30% are

very common after implementation of

the energy savings measures. Solar hot

water systems, state-of-the-art, can

save an extra 70 % on the hot water

bill.

COMMUNITY

SERVICES

The season has brought its usual

abundance of citrus and leafy green

vegetables, so it does have its good

points. We are grateful for the

donations of surplus produce which we

pass on to others. Hopefully not too

many suffered colds and ‘flu this year,

and we are pleased that it seems to

have missed most of us at the

Community House to date. Talking

about the weather brings us to

comment on the slight drop in numbers

at our monthly seniors’ lunch. Most of

the regulars came along in spite of the

cooler day and while it is tempting to

stay inside and keep warm - getting

dressed up in all our warm clothes to

enjoy a day out does a lot of good too.

Fun & Games

A happy group is enjoying our ‘Fun &

Games’ mornings at the Maungaturoto

Anglican Church Footprints room.

Come along and join in - we plan the

next one for Monday 12 August, but

just to be sure we suggest you phone

the House on 431 9080 to confirm this

date. This is also the venue for the

Chocolate Bingo, on the third

Wednesday of the month.

Free Bus Trip

Don’t forget the free bus trips for

shopping in Whangarei; the second

Tuesday and fourth Wednesday of the

month.

Fifty years ago, on July 20th 1969,

people all over the world watched in

awe, as Mankind’s effort to put a man

on the moon came to fruition. Mark

Lewington has timed his solo

exhibition to coincide with the

anniversary. Mark explains, ‘some

would say our greatest achievement but

with that achievement came doubt,

questions, and conspiracy that polarizes

us today’. Mark’s artworks dance

around the question ‘did they land on

the moon? It's still open for

debate, still questionable… hence

Alleged seems a fitting title for my

show’.

In a second part of the exhibition Mark

has sourced various portrait prints and

paintings, proceeded to paint on a

suitable animalistic alter ego- a mask,

helmet, balaclava or headpiece that will

work. He says. ‘for me this is about

getting back to anonymity, in a world

of mass surveillance and automated

facial recognition. These immortalised

works may have spent decades in the

spotlight, are they hiding something?

Masking these portraits gives them

back their privacy, their freedom to

exist anonymously in the public eye. I

aim to captivate, intrigue, provoke,

question, and to make the audience

smile. That’s my goal in art!’

Mark approaches his painted works

from a design perspective, using spray

paint, stencils, hand painting, screen

print and layered vinyl cut graphics. ‘I

predominantly choose to paint on

recycled surfaces or objects - things

that have history, their own unique

nostalgic characteristics and charm.

These raw beginnings precept the

creative process, setting the backdrop

for my expression. I love the

overwhelming power and yet subtlety

of empty space, raw texture and vibrant

colour’.

This exhibition, a first winter

exhibition in Mangawhai Artists

Gallery, is showcasing an interesting

and eclectic selection of work in a

variety of mediums from digital art and

painting to lighting and 3 dimensional

objects. ‘Alleged’ is on in Mangawhai

Artists Gallery until Wednesday 31

July.

Housebound service

We are looking at starting a new

service in the community where

volunteers deliver library books to

people who aren't able to get to the

library due to being house-bound. Does

this sound like something

you would be interested in?

Contact Wendy to talk about

it; we will talk about what

sort of books you like to

read, how many you might

want in one delivery, and

who might deliver the books

to you - it doesn't have to be

a library volunteer, it could

be a neighbour or friend of

yours. You could select the

books, or we could select

them for you. Call me

(Wendy) at the library on 4312 539, or

at home on 4312 725, or call or text my

mobile 027 480 6275 - I can

call you back if you don't

have minutes to spare on

your phone.

Sad news

Farewell to Irene Richardson,

who was a library volunteer

for a time while she and her

husband

Ross

owned

Shamrock Auto Care here in

Kaiwaka. Irene passed away

at the end of June as a result

of an accident. She was a

lovely bright spark, and we

will miss her.

NZ Book Awards for Children &

Young Adults

The finalists for this year's awards were

announced a little while ago. We

already had some of the books on our

shelves, and I ordered the rest. Most

are now on the shelves and ready to be

borrowed. They range across Junior

Picture (JPIC), Junior Fiction (JF),

Junior Non-Fiction (JNF), and Teen

Fiction (YP) titles. You can see the

whole list in the library, or go to http://

bit.ly/BooksCYA2019.

I've

been

reading some of the YP books, and

they're excellent reads.

Book reviews

If you like reading about vampires, I

can

recommend

Elizabeth

Hunter's

Elemental

Mysteries series: (1) A

hidden fire, (2) This same

Earth, (3) The force of wind,

and (4) A fall of water. "A

phone call from an old friend

sets Dr. Giovanni Vecchio

back on the path of a mystery

he'd abandoned years before.

He never expected a young

librarian could hold the key

to the search, nor could he

have expected the danger she

would attract. Now he and

Beatrice De Novo will follow a twisted

maze that leads from the archives of a

university library, through

the fires of Renaissance

Florence, and toward a

confrontation they never

could have predicted." I

enjoyed this series a lot.

They're on the Rental Fiction

shelves in the library.

Invisibly breathing by Eileen

Merriman is an excellent

read. It's a "moving story

about unconventional love,

bullying and being true to

yourself." It's a finalist in the

NZ Book Awards mentioned above,

and I wouldn't be surprised if it's a

winner. You'll find it in the library on

the Rental Fiction shelves this year,

though it is classed as Teen Fiction

(YP) and is free to borrow.

You can place a request to borrow any

or all of these books by logging in to

your account at 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

Port Nelson New Zealand 1948, a

merchant sailor met a pretty young girl

of sixteen, an amorous evening

eventuated and a few months later

unable to explain to her parents the

reason for her tummy bulge was sent

off to a birthing hospital for unmarried

mothers. A great disgrace had come

over the house of Hogan and it must be

covered up!

The hospital built in an out of the way

town of Waverley sent all the un-

wanted

(supposedly)

babies

Wanganui Hospital. One day a

childless couple came to the specific

ward and after some moments chose

me to join their family. The baby

Richard Malcolm Hogan became

Bevan Lawrence.

In 1985 the laws on adoption changed

thereby allowing the child to find its

parents, only if no veto had been

placed on their name. {New Zealand

Legal Adoption was introduced in 1881

the first in the British Empire} So

following a recommended procedure, a

carefully worded letter was sent to my

birth mother respectfully asking three

questions - any known hereditary

medical history, do I have siblings and

who was my father.

By return a lot of vitriol was received,

threatening physical harm should

further contact be made. By the age of

thirty-six with the beginning of a

family of my own, I decided on a

holiday trip while passing to drive by

the house my mother lived in.

Surprisingly the house in Taupo was up

for sale, so I knocked on the door and

pretended to be interested in buying the

home. So that is how I met my mother

for the one and only time. I perused the

house for family photographs but there

were none to be seen. I have since

found Aunties, half sibling’s two

brothers

and

one

sister, who are great

family but quite far

away and not seen

often enough.

My adoptive father

died in a car crash

when I was a teen and

I was able to build a

new house for my

mother next to ours

and she enjoyed her

grandchildren for the

years up to her

demise from poor

health.

birth

mother

passed

away

also and was

not

mourned

by me.

Today

nearly seventy

I am resuming

my continuous

lifelong search

for my father; I

have had a

DNA test done which denotes me as

being 50% Irish (mother’s side) and

strongly Scottish from the clan of Mac

Neil on the paternal side.

Now along with my wife who also has

Scottish heritage, we decided to

personally meet folk from the isle of

Barra. Landing on the beach in a Twin

Otter we disembarked with excitement.

Barra is very like Mangawhai but with

rocks everywhere, no fences, free-

range sheep and houses dotted about

anywhere.

The main town is Castle Bay, which

has a hotel and general store. The

beaches are pretty but really cold

considering it was mid-June. We went

to our Clan Castle, which is also on an

island. The big event of the day was

meeting Callum Mc Neil the island

genealogist. Not long after entering the

lounge and sitting down his wife stated

that I looked like the Mac Neil over the
