At last we have Eutopia's name carved in stone!
Nothing happens fast (it has been 5 1⁄2 years so far) with this project but Rob and I have completed most of the carvings
now, between the rain squalls, and at long last we have finished the front wall. We also have just completed plastering
and carving the last unfinished area in the front courtyard. We had one final push to complete it all before it got too hot
and dry. It is not so good and then it is too hard as the plaster goes hard too quick.
The carvings are based on Aotearoa's flora and fauna, a celebration of our unique and precious heritage. The front wall
depicts creatures of the shallower waters and shoreline. With the main feature being an octopus. They are so smart and so
unusual.
The final art work shows some of the more vulnerable species that are threatened, or already have become extinct in a
spiral of time. Next thing is to paint and stain all this work. That is going to be a huge job. That is one massive mural!
There is still a bit to do apart from the endless odd jobs. We are looking at making a lot more covered area especially at
the back. We are working on ways to mitigate the Winter exposure and the Summer heat. Working around the original
building and layout and the
compound curves everywhere
present
us
with
some
challenges on this front.
We have been open now going
on 6 months and are gearing up
for
summer.
We
are
introducing a new Summer
menu and bringing in a lot
more counter food, in terms of
space that is another challenge.
We have been listening to
feedback
and
improving
accordingly. Thanks to all that
have given us help and support
along the way.

MAUNGATUROTO AND DISTRICTS ROTARY
Bulk Cartage
50 years Chartered
An undoubted highlight during the past
month has been the celebration of the
Club’s 50 years since being chartered.
We had hoped to have four of our
Charter (original) members present but
because of sickness we had only two,
Colin Smith (who is still actively
involved in Rotary in Whangarei and
because of this he received a special
award from the President of Rotary
International) and John Couper. Also
present was Rosemary Eilering, the
daughter of one of our sponsors (one of
two people who initiated the club’s
beginning.)
Almost 90 people helped us celebrate
and there was a reasonable time for
people to reconnect prior to the lunch.
After the meal we heard from Colin
about some of the activities that were
undertaken in the early years of the
Club. This included fundraising for
the three “H’s” – Health, Hunger
and Humanity. Colin also shared the
personal benefits he has gained from
being a member of Rotary. These
included getting to know Rotarians
from different vocations and working
with them on community projects as
well as trips to Conferences.
Hayley Linton on DOE
The second speaker on the day was
Hayley Linton who has been actively
involved in Duke of Edinburgh through
the grades. She mentioned that under
the guidance of Mrs Bruce there are
approximately 100 students involved at
Otamatea High school. At each level
these youngsters are expected to
complete community service, adopt a
new skill and be involved in tramps
with varying degrees of difficulty.
Hayley believes that as a result of the
scheme her confidence has improved
greatly, she has created special
friendships and has developed
leadership skills.
Continue Youth Support
To celebrate our 50 years of service to
the community, the club has decided
that in the ensuing three years, in
conjunction with a Private Education
trust, we will support DOE with $2,800
each year, and the William Pike
Challenge (a junior version of DOE
aimed at building resilience in our
youngsters) $1,200 per year. We look
forward to this association with these
two groups.
President’s Scholarship $1500
To continue the theme of being
involved with younger people. The
President’s Scholarship is now open to
any person planning to be involved in
tertiary education (not necessarily
university). It is valued at $1,500 and
application forms can be obtained by
asking any Rotarian or writing to the
Secretary, Maungaturoto and Districts
Rotary, P O Box 65, Maungaturoto
0547. Applications will close on 29th
October.

Sabbatical leave: In term four I am on
sabbatical leave so Dirk Smyth will be
Acting Principal, Paul Chambers will
be Acting Deputy Principal and Bruce
Alison will be assisting on the Senior
Leadership Team.
As part of my sabbatical I will be
visiting schools in the UK to interview
staff and students about what strategies
they have in place to support wellbeing
and resilience. I will bring ideas back
to Otamatea in 2020 as we continue
one of our strategic goals of creating
and embedding a whole school,
wellbeing strengths based wellbeing
framework for the school. I will also
be doing some travelling and visiting
family and friends. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank the students,
staff and families for their support of
the school over the last 6 years whilst I
have been Principal. I feel very proud
of the progress that the school has
made in all areas. It is also incredibly
reassuring to be able to leave the
school in good hands knowing that the
staff have the best interests of the
students at the centre. See you in
2020. ~

“More electrification will be needed each year, electricity prices will increase
faster and more than 30 % extra capacity of power plants will be needed by
2030”. To tackle this growing electricity demand, Kaiwaka Community can
realise a huge savings to in the near future. Saving energy starts with an
Energy Survey to evaluate where the biggest savings can be created. Also
many solar energy systems are NOT performing or not state-of-art with
quality and low performance issues.
Eric Jansseune would like folk to contact him regarding your household
energy use and so build a map of Kaiwaka energy.

It has been a very busy two months at
The Kauri Museum.
Poetry Event
Prize giving for our poetry event was
held on 23 August, National Poetry
Day. This was also an Open Mic event
with members of the public performing
along with those who had won prizes.
A good-sized crowd heard Liz Clark
of Maungaturoto proclaimed as the
winner by our judges for her entry ‘On
the shores of gold’.
Photography Award
Next up was The Kauri Museum
Northland Photography Award. This
was the third time The Kauri Museum
had organised this event which is
growing in popularity every year. The
theme of ‘This is Northland- home of
the kauri’ saw some very imaginative
images entered. The prize giving took
place on Friday 13 September with
Jenn
Burrows, art teacher at
Northland College, Kaikohe taking
home the major prize in the Open
Category. Chloe Smith who lives
locally but attends Whangarei Girls
High School took out the Senior
Student class with Ryan Johnson a
pupil at Matarua School won the Junior
Student prize. Images of all entries in
this competition have been uploaded to
the museum’s Facebook page for
online voting for the Tudor Collins
People’s Choice Award. Voting
continues until 16 October. It is well
worth a look to cast your vote.
Schools Poetry Awards
Our final prize giving night was 20
September for the Schools Poetry
Awards. Using the same theme as the
National Poetry Day event ‘Voyaging -
to, in, or around the Kaipara’, we
received a large number of entries from
five local schools. A big crowd of
parents and supporters attended and
watched some very energetic young
poets perform their poems and rap to
their song lyrics. A great night.
Museum General Manager, Dr Tracey
Wedge commented “the creativity and
confidence of the young wordsmiths of
the Kaipara is outstanding and
demonstrates a bright
future for the arts in
our area. This is how
we bring the Museum alive!”
Settlers Day
Also bringing the museum alive is our
annual Open Day, Settlers Day, to be
held on Saturday 5 October. Beginning
at 9.30am with a service in the Pioneer
Church before moving across the road
to the museum, all the old, favourite
activities and displays will be on hand,
along with some new activities which
reflect this year’s theme of Hearth and
Home. We look forward to seeing you
there!

From Thelma’s Scrapbook …
The Fairies At The Bottom Of The Garden
The hour was late – came a knock on the back door. When he
opened it, there on the door-mat stood a little silver fairy. She was
covered in mud, her dress was torn, her wand was broken, and her crown was
in a sorry state. “Look,” she said, “when are you going to do something
about the bottom of your garden?”
ALBERTLAND MUSEUM UPDATE
We have some great new events to report on- first, we are delighted that the
Museum now has a new patron in Mr Alan Gibbs, a well-known businessman
who also owns Gibbs Farm, the outdoor sculpture exhibition on SH16. We are
able to offer a fundraising visit to the farm sometime in the new year, so check
the website - https://www.albertland.co.nz/ Our new website is coming up to
launch time, with everything easier to see and use, more interactive and lots
more to look at – keep an eye out for the changes.
And our current special display in the Harold Marsh Gallery is of local
photographers past and present , with some of their stunning photos and
amazing old cameras, some dating back to the late 1800s.
A photograph by Harold Marsh of two paramount chiefs, Arama Karaka and
Paikea, has been mounted in the main collection. Paikea is quoted as saying
“You are my pakeha. …may we be brothers forever”.
The Museum is open every day in Wellsford

Book review
Jill has read Mother Earth Father Sky
by Sue Harrison. She says it was "a
really good read. Set at the end of the
last ice-age, it seems to be well
researched and has details of how
native Aleutian Islanders existed.
Hunting methods, house construction,
and many daily tasks included in a very
convincing story of a young woman
surviving many hardships to eventually
find a place among her people. Any
reader interested in survivalist living
would glean useful tips to enhance
their chances!" You'll find this book on
our Rental Fiction shelves for some
months, before it moves to the free
shelves.
See you in the library, Wendy

NINE LIVES OF A KAIPARA CUTTER
A relic of Kaipara Harbour shipping
history is being given renewed purpose
at Putiki Bay. A connection has been
forged between historic shipping on the
Kaipara and a modern day youth sail-
training project on Waiheke Island. But
first a bit of history on this indomitable
boat, the trading cutter, 'Kate'.
The Story of the ‘Kate’
Built in 1898 on the Kaipara Harbour,
‘Kate’ is one of only three surviving
examples of her type, the sailing cutters
that played a vital part in the pioneering
development of New Zealand. She
embodies a unique part of our heritage.
She was used for towing kauri logs out
to waiting ships for export, and later for
towing a shingle barge. She was
originally built for Captain Seymour by
Erik Thompson, who emigrated from
Sweden and set up business at Aratapu,
south of Dargaville, in 1873. She cost
84 pounds complete with sails.
Mr. Terry Curel, an 86 year old master
mariner, whose father Bill was a pilot
for the Kaipara Harbour and who
bought the ‘Kate’ in 1919, has many
fond memories of her. In 1925 Bill
Curel, with his wife of 3 months on
board, was washed ashore at midnight
in a gale, at Tinopai. The couple left
the boat and started a long walk to
shelter. On the way they realised his
bride had left her wedding ring on
board, hopefully still hanging on a
hook inside the companionway where it
was placed whenever she took it off.
Bill walked 5 or 6 km back, then, due
to the rising tide, had to swim out to the
boat to successfully retrieve the ring.
Once the boat had been salvaged, the
original engine was replaced with a 2
cylinder 18hp. Twigg, a brand
manufactured in New Zealand. Bill
used to chant to the rhythm of the slow-
revving engine as it ticked over: “One
penny, two pennies, three pennies,
four; You benzine drinking monster,
always
asking
for
more!”
Bill
subsequently sold the
‘Kate’ to his brother
Arch around 1933, who
kept her at Helensville.
Terry remembers his
first job as a boy in
1943, crewing on the
‘Kate’
for
Harry
Stanaway, who owned
her then, towing logs.
In 1946 she was burnt
to the waterline in a gas
explosion
and
fire.
Purchased
for
50
pounds by Ray Crawford, she was re-
built using the best kauri for planking
and puriri for the frames. This explains
the difference in the shape of her stern
now from the half model on display at
Dargaville Museum.
Peter Lindegreen, a retired fisherman
who lives on his boat in Ostend
remembers crewing on her as a boy
when she was a net fishing boat on the
Kaipara in the ‘fifties. She was trucked
over to the Waitemata sometime
around 1960, and was used as a
crayfishing boat during the boom time
of the late sixties.
In 1973 she was bought by Grahame
Wharton, who moored her off
Kawakawa Beach and used her as a
pleasure boat with his family. He
recalls encountering 20-foot seas off
Cape Brett on a trip to the Bay of
Islands, and reports she is an excellent
sea boat. His son Lance presently owns
the houseboat “Sunflower”, moored
next to the “Kate” in the Causeway
inlet on Waiheke. Lance fondly
remembers trips on her as a boy when
they set steadying sails and learnt the
basics of sailing before swapping her
for a yacht.
The next owner reputedly lived aboard
her with his family in the Tamaki river.
There are reports that at one stage she
sank in St. Mary’s Bay.
The ‘Kate’ arrived on Waiheke in the
mid 1980s, bought by Thomas and
Sharonagh Tengblad, who lived aboard
with their young family for a while,
and began another major re-build. The
decks were stripped off and replaced, a
new cabin built and the keel deepened
by 8′′ using Kwila hardwood and
bronze bolts. But the work proved
challenging and expensive. They had
fitted a beautiful set of bronze
portholes off a wrecked steamer, but
these were stolen, and that was the last
straw. The “Kate” was put on the
market…again.
