Kaiwaka School students have had a

number of activities this month – speech

competitions, Noho Marae, athletic days,

Grandparents Day and even a Disco last

Friday evening.

The recent Noho Marae at Otamatea was a

wonderful experience for our senior

students. The juniors had their athletics

day on Thursday 21 November, with sprint

races followed by fun races - sack races,

relays, throwing, parachutes.

Te Awhina Whitehead is now

the parent trustee on the school

Board of Trustees.

The pool is ready for swimming

now. If the water temperature is

above 18 degrees, the students

will go swimming. At this stage

we will take every day as it

comes, due to the variability of

the weather. Keys for the public

will be available in December.

We are looking into after school

swimming instruction being

available next year.

New Zealand

the

November

2019

Kaiwaka

Volunteered

Fire

Brigade turned out

to a potential very dangerous house fire

at a Marshall Road address.

The fire started in the kids’ room and

the occupants were able to get quickly

out of the room and house due to a

working smoke alarm that alerted all

occupants in the house.

The room was completely fire

damaged with melted power sockets

and light fittings, but the fire was

contained in the one room due to good

fire proofing and quick response from

the fire crew.

Fire & Emergency New Zealand

believe people’s best protection is to

have working long-life photoelectric

smoke alarms in every bedroom, living

area and hallway in their home.

When you’re asleep, you lose your

sense of smell. Don’t assume your

smoke alarms are working. Press the

button to check regularly. If you are a

Landlord, please install smoke alarms

for tenants.

TICKETS FOR KAIPARA GARDEN AND HOUSE TOUR NOW ON SALE

PROGRESS ON MAUNGATUROTO

DEMENTIA UNIT

MANGAWHAI BREAKFAST

The fund-raising committee of the Maungaturoto Community Charitable Trust

held a breakfast at the Mangawhai Club on November 14th. Approximately 80

people attended to hear Craig Fergus chairman of the MCCT explain progress

on the building and some facts on dementia in Northland.

Craig told how even without the support of major funding organisation the trust

has been granted a substantial loan by the ANZ bank enabling them to order the

pre nail of the framing to be on site before Christmas and ready for erection

early in the New Year.

He also quoted figures on the number of secure beds available to dementia

patients in Northland. There are 152 beds all of which are all occupied and 2-3

patients a week are referred south. This in a lot of cases means disruption to

families sometimes meaning having to move to be near their loved ones.

MAUNGATUROTO BREAKFAST

Another breakfast is to be held in Maungaturoto at the St John Car Park and hall

on Friday 29th November - Takeaways 6.30am and ‘Sit down’ from 7am. Kevin

Salmon from Alzheimers Northland will be there. The Rapid Relief Team has

come on board again to provide $10 takeaway bacon and egg burgers. Many of

the local factories and work sites are supplying these to their workers from

6.30am. Also, a team will be cooking scrambled eggs and bacon for those that

want a sit down breakfast from 7am for $14 - in the St John hall.

Any groups or factories not already contacted that would like to take part should

contact Albie Paton Ph 0274949448. There will be plenty for all and walk up

customers will be welcomed.

Tickets for the Dahlias for Dementia

Garden and House Tour 2020 are now

on sale on the Alzheimers Northland

website at the early bird price of $40.

The tour includes 20 exceptional

properties from Maungaturoto to

beyond Matakohe and is to be held on

the weekend of 22 and 23 February

next year. Seven homes will also be

open.

The tour will raise funds for a 14-bed

dementia unit at Riverview Resthome

and

Retirement

Village

Maungaturoto which is community

owned and services the wider area.

Karen Smales, who initiated the

project, says each of the properties is

different but they all have one thing in

common. “They are tended by

committed gardeners who get a great

deal of pleasure from their efforts and

are all delighted to be sharing the

results of their labours for a good

cause.”

The gardens range from a sub-tropical

paradise that has featured in magazines

to rambling gardens alongside historic

homes

and

ancient trees –

and

everything in

between.

“When

our

organising

team visited

the properties

were

impressed to

learn

that

many of our

generous

exhibitors had

created their

magnificent

gardens from

nothing but a

bare paddock,

with maybe a couple of trees that had

been there for generations.”

Karen says it’s a bonus that some

homeowners agreed to open their

homes. “Each of these adds a different

and fresh perspective to the tour.”

A drawcard is that most of the open

homes have been recently renovated

and treated to inspiring interior design

makeovers. They include a relocated

farm homestead, an art-deco home, an

historic house with spectacular views

and a home which, for the first time

since it was built in 1886, has owners

outside of the original family. Several

homes were built or renovated by

Brogan Builders, which is a sponsor.

Karen says because the tour is in a

rural area, some homes are on farms,

therefore people will get the pleasure

of driving along farm roads. “There

will be countless opportunities to enjoy

expansive views, including of the

magnificent Kaipara Harbour. People

can do their tour at their own pace – on

just one day or both Saturday and

Sunday.

“We already know that

people from Whangarei

Warkworth

and

beyond are getting

together with friends,

family and members of

their garden or sports

club and are planning

to have a fabulous

time.”

There are several cafes

along the tour route,

plus lunch can be pre-

ordered online and

collected at one of the

houses to be enjoyed

there or as a picnic

elsewhere. Numerous

gardens

will

have

artworks and crafts on display and for

sale.

Tickets

Holders of early bird tickets will go in

a lucky draw to win a bar fridge kindly

donated by 100% Fergus Appliances &

Beds in Maungaturoto.

Tickets will also be on sale at their

shop.

The early bird price of $40 will be in

place until January 15; thereafter

tickets will be $50. A programme

listing the homes and gardens will be

emailed to ticketholders in the week

before the tour.

MAUNGATUROTO

AND DISTRICTS

ROTARY

During the past month we have been

involved in several areas within the

community. A number of us manned a

stall on Settlers Day at the Matakohe

Kauri Museum. This was quite timely

as the week before we had had Mark

Vincent come and talk about the

positive progress that had been made in

a number of areas, including financial.

He also spoke about the restoration to

the Museum of a large collection of

artefacts, donated by the Rintoul

family, that had been held in trust by

the Auckland Museum.

(These will be on

display from about mid-December.)

Another interesting speaker provided

first-hand information from an electric

car owner. Because our speaker had

owned the car for several years, she

was able to dispel many myths about

the capabilities of these vehicles.

Obviously, a big advantage is a fewer

number of moving parts and a

relatively cheap mode of transport,

even in the country area because fast

charging stations are greater in number.

We were also fortunate to have Robyn

Bruce talk about her trip to Everest

Base camp. She noted that people were

still repairing their properties that had

been damaged in the 2015 earthquake.

She was able to visit the school

founded by Sir Ed. It would seem that

the large number of people wanting to

climb Everest has both a positive and a

negative effect. Positive because it

provides work for a large number of

porters, but negative because of the

huge amount of rubbish that is left

behind.

Another area we have been working on

is the track in Nikau Grove. Because

the lower end of this reserve is rather

damp, we have placed a “bridge” over

this area. We were pleased to see that

the metal laid on the track had stood up

to the damp of winter.

Three applications had been received

for the President’s Scholarship and the

successful recipient should have been

notified of this by now. You may also

notice some Rotarians out selling raffle

tickets for a Christmas hamper. This

has been donated, as in many previous

years, by Pam Chapman. Thank you,

Pam, for your support of us in this way.

Unfortunately, we have run out of calf-

litter in the meantime. One supply has

been exhausted and the other is not

mature enough at this stage. However,

it is hoped to have this product back on

the market next year. Not only is it an

excellent fundraiser for us, but also has

proven to be a great addition to the

garden.

We have been fortunate throughout this

year to have delicious meals provided

by various High School fundraisers.

We wish you all a peaceful Christmas

holiday. Keep safe on the roads and

make the most of your time with family

and friends.

Cycle adventurer Mike Jung takes

extraordinary measures to avoid the

dangers of Northland's heavy traffic.

Mike, from north of Berlin in the old East

Germany, rides farm tracks and country

roads and uses a 2.2 metre inflatable

dinghy to cross harbours or rivers on the

high tide.

On his third summer in Northland (he first

came 10 years ago hitching between east

and west coasts with a paraglider) he

bought gear locally in January 2019 and

began a bike-raft circumnavigation, starting

up the east coast from Auckland. That

summer he made it to Omapere on the

Hokianga. He returned in October and set

off again mid-November.

Mike has run adventure businesses, built

and restored houses and explored what

Europe and the world offers. He loves New

Zealand and the people he meets with his

two-gear bike, tent, sleeping bag and light

provisions.

While he's a very competent ocean

kayaker, having trained and escorted

numerous groups to the Seychelles, he

accepts that his circumnavigation plans are

fluid with terrain, access and weather.

This week Mike arrived at our house in

Oneriri Road after crossing to the Rangiora

Road boat ramp from Otamatea Marae. He

contacted us through the WarmShowers

social network through which he was

applying for the first time. (The network

has MMM members worldwide.)

He doesn't assume that he can cross

privately owned property, preferring to

accept offers. In Northland where there are

centuries of Maori occupation, he respects

tradition.. "I'm cautious about it because

theirs is a physical culture, where there is a

connection to the land." Maori people have

been very welcoming in his experience.

He left our place for Farr Road the next

morning heading to Port Albert and

Highway 16.

"I can't say what will happen [with my aim

to circumnavigate New Zealand with bike

and raft or how far I'll get this summer]. I'll

just have to wait for the situations to

arrive."

But if Mike Jung, pictured below, doesn't

complete the tour in summer, he'll have

reason to return to a country he loves. ~ HP

TOURING BY BIKE AND RAFT

I went to two meetings last week, one

Wednesday, one Thursday. Each nearly

three hours long. Both were about

Kaiwaka, both extremely important. Only

one other person as far as I know was at

both.

So different! One, the meeting on spatial

planning, to look at future housing space,

commercial and light industrial space for

Kaiwaka, with the needed infrastructure.

It was well organised, lots of charts,

consultants and council officers there for

all your questions. It was calm, factual,

quiet, organised and a step towards our

future. It ended at the agreed time for

packing up and the organisers went

home.

The other was about drugs and family

violence in Kaiwaka. It too was

organised, but it was passionate,

sometimes angry, sometimes tearful,

always deeply personal as various people

spoke about their own journey from

despair to hope and their work with

others still struggling. It ended with

prayers and song.

At the first meeting I saw no Maori and

no young people. At the second meeting,

I was one of only three or four pakeha,

ages from teens to tottering along.

What troubled me most was not the

presence in Kaiwaka and surrounds of

violence, drugs and homelessness. I had

heard it all before but rarely saw it. What

troubled me was the fact the two groups

are separate. Maori and Pakeha. And of

course, there are other little pigeonholes

we put people in here too – newcomers

and pioneers, lifestylers and those with

nowhere else to go. Younger and older.

But both meetings were needed. And

they needed each other. Good housing

plans can make it easier for the homeless

and overcrowded to find a home. Careful

development of commerce and industry

can provide jobs and security. Strong and

deliberate plans for a town centre, a

centre with heart, can bring the

communities closer together. But vital

too is the passionate commitment of

skilled people to walk with the broken,

trapped and hopeless as they find their

way back. I was filled with admiration of

the work being done and noted one of the

most powerful sources of help for many

of the troubled in Kaiwaka is the Revival

Church with services far beyond their

services.

Thank you to the organisers of each

meeting for your skills, commitment,

planning and honesty. Thank you for the

passion of those immersed in the struggle

to give those who have nearly given up,

some hope and a way out.

The person sitting next to me, one whose

journey had been long and painful but

now bright and filled with hope, said to

me “Community means common unity.”

If we plan land and buildings, we need to

plan for hope and freedom as well. If we

plan for a commercial centre, we need to

plan for a place with heart and with

spirit. I have no Te Reo, growing up in a

world without it and never caught up, but

I can echo after those two meetings the

famous Maori proverb, hopefully as

Pakeha without offence:

He aha te mea nui o te ao

What is the most important thing in the

world?

He tangata, he tangata, he tangata

It is the people, it is the people, it is the

people.

From Thelma’s

Scrapbook …

The Woman In The

Queue

What is loneliness? It is impossible

to describe it in a word, but

sometime ago I witnessed an

example. During a bread shortage,

long queues gathered in the

supermarket, and, as so often

happens, all were making the best

of the situation and the queue was

cheery and friendly. Then a

strange thing happened. The

assistant saw a white-haired

pensioner leave the queue just

before she reached the counter

and slip away to join it at the end

again. Puzzled, the girl kept an eye

on her and to her surprise the

same thing happened again – as

soon as the old woman drew near

the counter, she turned away to

the back of the queue.

Why on earth was she doing it?

You may have guessed that it was

because she was lonely. No one

ever dropped into her home for a

chat. Her family was far away, her

neighbours were young people

who were out all day, but in the

queue, she found warmth, a sense

of belonging, and someone to

speak to, even though they were

strangers.

That is loneliness. Please don’t let

it happen to anyone you know!

AUTOMATED EXTERNAL

DEFIBRILLATORS

(AEDs)

You may have noticed a number of

these around the community. Some of

these were donated by the St John

Area committee in Otamatea, and

some were purchased by the property

owner.

These are excellent tools to have on

hand if someone is having a heart

attack, but unfortunately, the location

of them all has not been noted on the

national database. It is important that

in a medical event, these can be

located promptly.

It would be appreciated if you could

text me the location of any AEDs you

are aware of.

Thank you for your help in this matter.

rabbit sitting on one of the shelves.

"What are you doing in there?" she asked.

The rabbit replied: "This is a Westinghouse,

isn't it?", to which the lady replied "Yes."

"Well," the rabbit said, "I'm westing."

LINKING HANDS

Season’s Greetings from

the Team at Linking

Hands

Hi everyone. I am just sitting

here wondering where the

year has gone?! It seems like

Christmas has just gone, and here we

are nearly back to Christmas again.

The Maungaturoto Office will be

closed from 23rd December and re-

opening for business at 10am Monday

6th January 2020.

If you have any appointments during

this time, if possible, please book in

before we close on the 20th December.

If you find you do need transport

those of you who continue to support

us.

Merry Christmas ... see you next year!

CALLS FROM

LITTLE BOTHER

When all of a sudden strange

number start appearing on your

mobile, it's time for attention.

In 12 days 12 calls came to my mobile

from numbers with the prefixes: +222,

+212, +166, +126, +966, +372, +221,

+358 and +505.

The trouble is I knew no-one resident,

or travelling, in Mauritania, Nicaragua,

Lithuania, Saudi Arabia etcetera or

Montserrat. So, who rang for a second

or two, and why? Should you call back

since you have the number?

A little research on the internet

explains.

These

are

computer-

generated 'robocalls'. It's easy enough,

it seems, to buy a string of numbers

obtained from someone or other's

computer database, assign 'country

codes' to those numbers and set your

robot computer ['bot’] to bother.

The payoff

The payoff in the scheme is when you

dial a number/s back and are charged

exorbitantly for doing it. Your call

goes to the local or foreign equivalent

of an 0900 pay-to-call number.

It's a modern version of sawdust in

sausages, watered milk and shaved

sovereigns.

My first bot call was answered, as was

my second two days after. Smelling a

rat, I researched then ignored the third

two days later. But I slipped, called

back the fourth and, while an answered

number lingers on a bot base, if you

call, you get Bother with a bigger B.

My pattern by day was a, 0, a, 0, n, 0,

0, n, 0, 0, aR + 6n, n; where 'a' is

answered, 'n' not answered, '0' no call,

'aR' returned call. All the calls on the

day I slipped to aR came from different

numbers and largely different country

codes.

Most phone providers publish warnings

about the trick on their sites and, if you

challenge, refund charges. ~

Data is from my phone log this month
