Amazing Grace -

Aretha Franklin

Friday 1 November, 7.30pm (G)

‘Concert film of the Queen of Soul’s 1972

gospel shows has taken decades to see the

light of day — and it’s more than worth

the wait.

It’s the closest thing to witnessing a

miracle — just some cameras, a crowd

and a voice touched by God. Over two

days in January of 1972, Aretha Franklin

got up to sing out her gospel at the New

Temple Missionary Baptist Church in

Watts, backed by the Southern California

Community Choir. A film crew was there

to catch the Queen of Soul blow the roof

off the place.’

1 Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Road,

Kaiwaka.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote that we

had two years to make real progress in

securing the future of Kaiwaka. How

did I arrive at two years? We haven’t

discussed it at Kaiwaka Can, it is not

official policy so what is it all about?

It comes from five years with Kaiwaka

Can watching what is happening in and

to Kaiwaka. They have been hard

years, with really very little change to

the appearance or amenities in

Kaiwaka. The weeds are still there,

Oneriri Road is just as dangerous, there

are no footbridges to keep us out of

danger across the highway, there are

no more reserve spaces in town.

But these next two years can be

crucial. Let me say why I believe this

so strongly:

The Kaipara District Council

Spatial Planning

exercise is at the

public phase for offering options. This

is about decisions on where new

housing can go, light industry and a

worthy commercial heart for Kaiwaka.

A few days ago, I received the official

Stats department figures from the 2018

Census for Kaiwaka and surrounds.

Result?

Kaiwaka township, 700. Not a great

increase because there is nowhere to

build! But Kaiwaka Surrounds 2200.

Wow! That is a major increase and that

is more than a year ago. That gives us a

district population of nearly 3000,

whom we need to service, provide

recreation for, amenities, shopping and

essential services. The Spatial Plan is

all about doing just that. And we have

a part. Early meetings were badly

attended. But the next one is the big

one. November 20th, Kaiwaka

Sports Assn, 3.30 – 8pm. Nobody

should miss this one as it is about

taking the sticky tape off our

development. I have seen the draft

options and they look exciting.

The next Kaipara District

Council Long Term Plan

begins its

process next year. Last Long Term

Plan we were promised much but

somehow

all

mysteriously

disappeared. This time we all need to

come back stronger, more determined

and more organised in what we need.

3) A new Council has just been

elected, well sort of new. The hard

thing for us is that boundary changes

restrict Kaiwaka-Mangawhai to two

councillors while Maungaturoto west

has six plus the mayor. A bit of an

uphill battle! So, what do we do?

Persist. Organise. Fight for our rights

and our future so that by the time the

next council is elected, they really

know we are here.

Incidentally the Census figures make

nonsense of the changed ward

boundaries as the greatest growth is in

the east and not the west.

4) Now is a good time to explore how

we can work together more closely.

There are great organisations in

Kaiwaka. Come together when it is

needed, and our voice will be more

powerful.

Instead of being an annoying traffic

hiccup on the highway north, we can

be a delightful rest stop, a great place

to live and a well organised and

attractive township that welcomes

people to the north.

Challenging times, exciting times, time

to get off the couch and into the

community of the future.

would

appreciated. We will not have the

school day.

Snowball & Jag the Joker

Congratulations to Phyllis Browne on

her winning the Snowball a couple of

weeks ago, she is now $220.00 better

off.

The Snowball currently stands at

$70.00; this is a member only draw, to

collect you must be there and have

your membership card with you.

Drawn every Thursday and Friday

night after the Ode.

Jag the Joker is currently standing at

$527.00; this is a raffle and costs $2.00

a ticket, it is drawn every Friday night.

If your number comes up, you get a

chance to turn the card on the board. If

you turn over the Joker, you get the

pool.

Kitchen & Bar

We are still in need of help in the both

areas, we desperately need committed

help on the 2nd and 3rd Friday of each

month in the kitchen, the work involves

setting the tables at the start of the

evening, washing and sterilising dishes

and general help for the cook in

keeping the place clean and workable.

We need help in the bar, the work

involves normal bar service and

cleaning of area and glasses. A

knowledge of the liquor laws would be

an advantage and the club are prepared

to pay for you to attend an LCQ course

if you wish to do it.

Rugby World Cup Finals

As we have invested in an overhead

projector and large 125” screen we

have streaming for the all the games.

The following is the schedule for the

Finals this weekend:

Friday 1st November 2200: Bronze

Medal Play off NZ v Wales

Saturday 2nd November 2200:

World Cup Final England v South

Africa

These games promise to be great

exciting entertainment, the clubrooms

and bar will open 1 hour ahead of the

Final on Saturday, and with normal

opening hours on Friday. The bar will

close on the completion of the game or

at the bar persons discretion.

Presentation of Awards

TRASH AND

TREASURE

This fundraising effort for St John has

proved to me that we live in an

incredible community. The team

would like to thank you all for your

support during the week. Not only did

you bring many items in that we could

recycle, but you purchased while you

were there. Thank you also to those of

you who provided food for us to sell.

This is always something that is sought

after.

Thank you also to the golf club people

who helped us set up on the Saturday

and the Fonterra employees who

helped us pack down on the Friday.

Raffle winners have all been notified

and prizes delivered.

We will hopefully net around $7,000

which will be used to support our

Volunteers and Cadets, but the social

benefit to all who spent time during the

week is immeasurable. Thank you all!!

MAUNGATUROTO AND DISTRICTS ROTARY

Bulk Cartage

As the year has continued, so too have

some of our ongoing projects.

Driver Mentoring, in conjunction

with Roadsafe Northland and Te Roroa

has taken on a new lease of life with

two more Mentors having been signed

up. The number of students each

Mentor has is dependent on the time

the Mentor has available as it is

important that the students are able to

practice their driving for at least an

hour once a week. We are hopeful that

there will be a number of success

stories in the coming months.

If you are interested in either

Mentoring or want some lessons,

please call 0800 555 635.

It was interesting to speak to some of

the people at The Museum’s Settlers’

Day. We had some photos of projects

undertaken and there was a great deal

of discussion on one of our projects

some years ago, Piroa Falls. The

concrete picnic table that is on site had

to be winched in by helicopter. While

we now work in partnership with DOC,

this area still remains quite special. It is

hoped that before too long the water

quality will have improved so people

can go swimming again.

Nikau Grove

During early November we are

planning to work on the track in Nikau

Grove. There are two aspects to this

effort. One is to place a bridge over the

boggy area at the eastern end of the

bush and the other is to place a

protective structure over the kauri tree

roots.

Speakers: Bruce Lydiard

We have had two local identities speak

to us in the past month, covering very

different topics but both very

interesting. One was Bruce Lydiard

who spoke about growing up with the

prominent coach, Arthur Lydiard as his

Dad and how the family

became extended when there

were athletes to coach. (For the

record, six of Arthur’s athletes were

the recipients of seven gold medals in

NZ and Finland.)

Mark Vincent

Another interesting speaker was Mark

Vincent who spoke about the

development of Harbour Care and now

his involvement with Fonterra to work

on a different level with landowners in

the Wairau Stream catchment area.

Calf Litter

For those of you who have been

seeking calf litter you may just have to

wait a little longer. We had a

substantial stockpile but unfortunately

this has disappeared, and the weather

has not been kind in giving us access to

the paddocks to help replenish our

supplies. Hopefully, by the time you

read this, the situation will have been

resolved.

Should you want to join us at any time

please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We have been fortunate throughout

this year to have delicious meals

provided by various High School

fundraisers.

MAUNGATUROTO AND

DISTRICTS ROTARY –

SENIORS’ AFTERNOON TEA

Friday 22nd November 1pm to 4pm at

the Centennial Hall, Maungaturoto.

Entertainment will be provided by a

group of Maura Flower’s performers.

Please note: All seniors from

Mangawhai to Tinopai are invited to

this event.

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSOCIATION

Fright Night:

Fright Night is this

Saturday!

Have you got your costume

sorted? I have got lots of

great donations to use as

prizes for the best dressed

boys, girls and adults.

Creative

costumes

and

makeup will take the eye of our judges,

so put your thinking cap on!

There will be a costume parade, lolly

scramble, music, games, a photo booth,

glow items, spooky supper, face-

painting and of course our ever-popular

haunted house.

There will be prizes for the top three

halloween-themed supper plates – last

year we had chocolate spiders,

bloodshot eyeball eggs, cobweb

cupcakes, deadman finger sandwiches

and more. Get creative!

The Haunted House

will have three

sessions:

1) An extra mild session (lights on

full, no loud noises, no scarers, no fog,

no strobe light). Perfect for those little

kids who might not handle a scary

session but want to look at the

decorations. This session will begin at

5.30pm.

2) Primary-aged children (and

parents if your kids need support). A

scary session.

3) High-school children + adults. An

extra scary session. Only for the very

brave!

Hidden Items

There will be several special items

hidden in the Haunted House and if

you find one of them, you will win a

prize. But they won’t be in the hallway,

oh no, that would be way too easy for

you . They will be hidden in the rooms,

so you will have to venture into each

room – but beware of what might be in

there to greet you!!

Dinner for the family is sorted, as

Kaiwaka Playcentre will be there,

serving up hot food and snacks.

PS: don’t worry about missing the

Rugby World Cup final, as it is being

televised at 10pm, so you will have

plenty of time after Fright Night to get

home

and

get

yourself parked in

front of the TV!

The entry fee is $5 (pre-

schoolers free). Hope to see

you there, we are looking

forward to a ‘Spooktacular’

night!

Junior Tennis

Does your child want to try something

new? Why not give tennis a go. Our

children’s tennis lessons are being held

at our courts on Monday afternoons.

Great coach, very reasonable fees.

Contact Linda on 021 266 8571 for

more information.

Kaiwaka Athletics Club

The Athletics season is about to start,

with the first session on Monday 4th

November.

The sessions run on Mondays 5 -

6.30pm, at Otamatea High School. All

athletes are welcome but we tend to

have a predominance of younger

athletes.

Parents/caregivers

are

expected to stay with the youngsters as

we need a number of adults to help run

From Thelma’s

Scrapbook …

Gossip:

“I’ve gossiped about my

neighbour,” the woman confessed

to her minister.

“One day I saw her staggering

about the yard and I told a few

friends that she had been drinking.

Now I find that her staggering was

caused by a leg injury. How can I

undo this gossip I started?”

The minister excused himself for a

moment, and returned with a

pillow. He then asked the woman

to follow him to the side porch.

There he took out his pocket-

knife and cut a big hole in the

pillow, and emptied the feathers

over the porch railing. A small

breeze soon scattered the tiny

feathers all about the yard, among

shrubs, flowers and even up the

branches of the tallest trees. A few

feathers also floated across

the street, headed for

unknown destinations.

The minister turned to the

woman, “Will you go out now

and gather up every one of those

feathers?”

The woman looked stunned.

“Why, that would be impossible,”

she said.

“Exactly,” replied the minister

sorrowfully, “That’s just the way it

is with gossip!”

for many years and would like to step

aside to let others step into their place.

So, if you or someone you know is

interested please come along and talk

to us about being on the Board.

BOOK OPINIONS

Tu, A Novel

Pacy story of interwar New Zealand

from respected writer Patricia

Grace.

Tu, the third son of a tormented WWI

veteran, travels with mother and older

brothers from the pa to Wellington in

the 30s, meets a European girl, and

achieves college success only to hurl

himself at 17 into the last campaign of

WW2, disregarding hapu advice.

"'And one war is enough too,' his aunts

and uncles told him. 'Think of what the

first one did to your father, think what

it did to your Ma. Think what it did to

all of you.' But they couldn't prevent

Pita [or Tu] from enlisting once he'd

made up his mind."

Tu shares the storytelling with older

brother Pita. He pursues his older

brothers to Italy and into Cassino

trench warfare. Middle brother Rangi is

a veteran of the Greek expedition and

retreat to Crete.

Wonderfully researched, Tu rings true

as a account of life in New Zealand in

60 to 90 years ago. Trench warfare at

Cassino is shown to lack the nobility of

its origins at Ruapekapeka, a fortress

every local child will come to

appreciate with the new emphasis on

local history.

Patricia Grace's novels include Potoki,

Tangi and Chappy. These and her

several short story collections are

highly recommended. ~ HP

75th Anniversary Of

Kaiwaka’s First School

The seventy-fifth anniversary of the

opening of the first school in Kaiwaka

was celebrated in conjunction with the

Kaiwaka school’s annual picnic and

sports last week.

It took the form of a re-union of old

scholars of the first and, second

schools and those who attended school

in this district prior to 1895.

Thirteen old pupils were present, six

being pupils of the first school when it

was opened on November 14, 1870.

Over 40 ex-pupils were traced and

invited, but many were unable to be

present.

SPIRAL CAKE

A special table was set out for the old

pupils, who also enjoyed an iced and

decorated cake given in their honour

by Mr. W. R. Dowson, who himself

was a pupil of the second school.

The cake was cut by the oldest ex-pupil

present, Mrs. M. Stewart, of Hakaru.

Following the calling of the roll by the

present headmaster (Mr. Prouting), two

tiny tots, Judy Leslie and Terence

Dowson, descendants of the earliest

settlers in Kaiwaka, handed posies and

button holes to the old scholars.

Items or the entertainment of the guests

were given by the school children.

Kaiwaka

School

will

celebrating 150 years during

Labour Weekend 2020.
