This wonderful photo was taken

at Eutopia Café on 5 January.

The amazing golden colour can

be see online (sorry). This was

the day we all noticed the weird

colour of the sky, the day the

when the thickest Australian

bush fire smoke was across our

country.

Kaiwaka A Great Place to Be:

Eutopia Café was listed in the

NZ Herald 13 January as a ‘place

to visit’.

Facebook Smiley Campaign

posted ‘Kaiwaka Lights are on!’

Stuff.NZ also wrote in “Small

towns of NZ that shine in

summer”

and

they

listed

Kaiwaka as third in their lists.

NZ WEATHER

Mean

annual

temperature for New

Zealand is calculated from NIWA's

Seven Station Series which uses

measurements derived from seven

climate

locations

Auckland,

Masterton,

Wellington,

Hokitika,

Nelson, Lincoln and Dunedin. The

Seven Station Series dates back to

1909 and shows New Zealand’s

average annual temperature has

increased by about 1ᵒC over the past

100 years.

It also shows that five of the last 10

years have ranked somewhere in the

top 10 warmest years on record –

including 2016 which was New

Zealand’s hottest year on record. This

year, 2019, will join that list and

almost certainly sit among the top five

hottest.

Here’s how this decade ranks:

Year Anomaly (°C) Rank

2016 +0.84 1st

2018 +0.8 equal 2nd

2013 +0.72 5th

2017 +0.54 6th

2010 +0.46 10th

2011 +0.22 22nd

2014 +0.18 equal 26th

2015 +0.14 30th

2012 -0.15 equal 44th

2009 -0.32 equal 52nd Source: NIWA’s

Seven Station Temperature Series which

began in 1909.

So, what’s the weather been like this

year? As usual, a little bit of

everything. But for the record the

hottest temperature was 38.4ᵒC at

Hanmer Forest on January 31. The

coldest temperature for 2019 was -

9.2ᵒC at Lake Tekapo on June 3 and

the wettest? That was Rings Beach,

Coromandel Peninsula on September 9

which stood at 226mm when the day

ended.

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Welcome to 2020.

My goodness where did

2019 go. That mad joyful month has

gone with another one at the end of this

year.

December greeted us with a hot fine

partly cloudy day followed with rain

later settling to a mixed month of all

sorts. We even got the thunderstorms

and torrential rain. Not everybody was

so lucky. In that shower we got 26mm.

Then of course those strong south

westerlies started again. Actually, one

would have thought it was winter again

with that cold, cold wind. Well it all

calmed down a bit for the big day.

There was still that strong south

westerly but at least it was fine.

Well the rest of the month was a bit

fickle ending on a beautiful hot sunny

day with 30deg on our thermometer.

December at our house and for the

year reads as: December 2019 we had

173mm rain and 2018 we had 204mm.

We had rain on 10 days in 2019 and 12

days in 2018.

Our total rainfall for 2019 was 1234

and for 2018 was 1841mm.

Our driest December since 1987 was

1994 with 4mm and the wettest was

2014 with 211mm.

Our driest 12 months of any year since

1987 was 1994 with 892mm and the

wettest was 1990 with 1947mm.

No wonder we are dry this year. I hope

the holiday period treated you kindly

and if not sending wishes for a great

new decade.

How much earth can be removed from

a hole three feet wide, four feet long

and two feet deep? You cannot remove

earth from a hole.

Take care out there. We are halfway

through January already. . ~ Bev.

GARDEN AND HOUSE TOUR

2020 ATTRACTING

ATTENTION BEYOND

KAIPARA

With summer comes the time to

get all those outside jobs done

and at The Maungaturoto Country

Club it’s no different, with the

help of a some members we were

able to get a couple of those jobs

done, finishing of around the Heli

Pad was number one on the list,

and then some gardening and

waterblasting.

Over the Christmas break the club

had an indoor spruce up too with

the carpets and chairs getting a

shampoo and ready for the new

year.

Over summer we are open Friday

and Saturday nights from 5.30pm

for dinners, the new management

in the kitchen is proving popular

with a great group of regular

and enjoy a meal in a relaxing

setting.

When a small rural community hosts an

ambitious fundraiser for a vital local

cause it’s a bonus if it attracts people

and funds from outside the area.

The Dahlias for Dementia Garden and

House Tour 2020, being held on the

weekend of 22 and 23 February in

Kaipara, will be attended by people

from Auckland, Waikato, Coromandel

and further afield while some

volunteers hail from the South Island.

The event will raise funds for a new 14

-bed dementia unit in Maungaturoto

which will serve the wider Kaipara

community. The tour includes 20

properties – both rural and urban.

Seven homes will also be open.

Karen Smales, who’s on the Dahlias

for Dementia team, says support from

the community has been heartening.

People have bought tickets and

promoted it to friends and family who

live elsewhere.

“Many locals will be hosting people

who will do the tour. Small

communities need to find ways to bring

in outside funds, both through ticket

sales and sponsorships.”

She says the tour got early support

from Alzheimers Northland and,

leading on from that, Bayleys Real

Estate Northland which is selling

tickets at five of its offices. And, of

course, working hard in the background

are all the generous property owners

who’ve been kind enough to put their

properties on show.

“Our community is very grateful.

Accommodation in dementia units in

Northland is tight and the situation is

getting more challenging.”

Lunch sales key fundraiser

Karen says a major fundraising aspect

of the tour is lunches which can be

ordered along with tickets or closer to

the event. “We have an award-winning

caterer on our team. Her stunning home

and garden are open for the tour and

she’ll be assisted on the day by family

members who are also talented caterers

and come from outside Northland.”

Caterer Annie Pryde says her helpers

will include a son, nephew and his

wife, a sister, niece and cousin. Most

are from Auckland, but one is from

Whangarei and another Rotorua.

“We’re a family of keen foodies and

talented cooks.”

Ticketholders can pick up lunch from

10am to 2pm and enjoy it then or take

it elsewhere. Many gardens have

perfect picnic spots, plus there are

parks like the Village Green in

Paparoa. There are also cafes on the

tour route.

MAUNGATUROTO

AND DISTRICTS

ROTARY

First of all, we would like to thank all

of you who have supported our various

projects during the past year. This

support enables us to contribute more

to the community than would

otherwise be possible.

The latest effort was the grocery

hamper raffle, kindly donated by Pam

Chapman. The lucky winner was Chum

Jones – C032.

President’s Scholarship

At recent meetings we

were able to present this

year’s

President’s

Scholarship of $1,500 to

Mya Lawrence (who is

going to study Bio-Medical Science at

Auckland

year,

hopefully

culminating in a research post later on)

and also to hear from Annmarie Holst

(last year’s winner) who

spoke about this past year.

She has been studying

Exercise

Science

and

Business. She has really

enjoyed getting to know

fellow residents and also

compete in inter-residency events. As

these are team events, they have

provided a different perspective from

squash. While competitive squash has

been put aside for the moment her

ultimate aim is to play for the NZ

Women’s team. Both young ladies are

excellent role models from this

community.

Another speaker we had was Glenn

Orford who covered three areas – his

work at the refinery (and how he is part

of the emergency support team there;

his work as a volunteer firefighter

within this community, and how it has

changed through the years; and finally,

his recent involvement with the Sky

Tower climb. This latter event is not

only a physical challenge but also each

participant needs to raise funds for

leukaemia. We are indeed fortunate to

have volunteer firefighters like Glenn

who are prepared to provide support

when it is needed, whether it be fire or

accident.

Senior’s afternoon tea

We were also able to host another

successful senior’s afternoon tea.

About 50 people from our wider

community were able to socialize and

enjoy entertainment by some of Maura

Flower’s talented young performers.

Thank you to all who helped us on the

day.

Donations

At our final meeting we were able to

donate amounts to two groups at

Otamatea High School - $2,400 to the

Duke of Edinburgh group and $1,200

to the William Pike Challenge. Both of

these groups aim to increase the

resilience and community mindedness

of the participant, just at different year

levels.

We wish you all the best for the New

Year and hope that 2020 will be a year

to remember for all the right reasons in

this community.

BOOK OPINION

‘Leaning towards Infinity:

how my mother's apron unfolds

into my life.’

This Aussie novel from the '90s is a

major achievement for creative writing

teacher, Sue Woolfe.

Dry as fire descriptions of small-town,

small-horizon Australians explode like

the characters in cinema's Muriel's

Wedding, insincere, ignorant and cruel.

A marriage folds, if it ever was, father

telling his daughter the wedding day

was his only happiness, she shocked to

realise the sympathy and talent she

sought in her 'genius’ mother lay with a

figure she disregarded.

"He was a geometer."

Hard to read and tough to review,

Woofe’s book is one for the

'Understand Australians' shelf, beside

the

Niland

books,

Bush

Ballads

and

Gumnut

Babies.

The four covers found on the net

indicate how hard it is to pigeonhole.

The omega symbol settled on in

subsequent editions by marketers is

absent on the first: a print from the

NSW Art Gallery by iconic Hungarian

photographer Andre Kertesz whose

subject is wide-eyed and uncertain.

In a way that Fred Dagg and his creator

John Clarke have a significance which

Kiwis recognise, Woolfe's doubts,

shocks and longing to love, are route

markers for a generation of little

Australians. ~ HP

People tend to make resolutions in the

new year. Organisations set targets and

Kaiwaka Can at its first meeting for

2020 set a few targets to aim at.

Nothing world shattering, but all with a

purpose and hopefully a benefit.

Here are some of them:

Better

communication

with

Kaiwaka and surrounds.

At present we use mainly The Bugle to

get the word out. It is a great little

paper, and many read it. But a

surprising number never read it and

after years of operation, say they have

never heard of Kaiwaka Can.

So, we will set up a web page and a

Facebook page for those who get their

news this way.

Stage One of the Kaiwaka

Central Plan.

This is the plan that aims to improve

walking links from Oneriri Road to the

Eutopia side, as well as clean up and

develop the surrounding patches of

land so that the centre of the town is

attractive and useable. Council meets

with us this week to look at the piece of

land below Mormors, which is Council

land and which would make a good

green space and picnic area. They are

also getting geotech reports of the river

banks so we can make some progress

on the footbridge across the river.

Welcome sculptures.

These are the huge (3-metre-high)

sculptures at each end of the town to

welcome people to Kaiwaka and also

give us more identity. We have to clear

away a raft of requirements from

NZTA first, but we want to get on with

it. If you have a willingness to learn

skills in ferro cement sculpting, there

will be a place for you on the project.

McClean Park

(the rest area just

north of the town, below Gateway

Motel).

We have long wanted to develop this to

be far more useful and attractive than it

is at present. There are many ideas

around for what could be included. One

interesting idea is a pontoon for

kayakers who can take quite a trip from

there on the right tides.

Lighting

We made a good start on the lighting at

the end of last year and we plan to

continue with more lights through the

town. We have a great team working

on this and we look forward to the

changes the lights will make to our

visibility.

And there are more...

By the way, an article from Stuff.NZ

over Christmas was entitled “Small

towns of NZ that shine in summer” and

they listed Kaiwaka as third in their

lists. The amazing thing was it made

the list even before Eutopia opened!

So, there must be something worth

caring about here.

From Thelma’s

Scrapbook …

I Want To Be A

Weed!

few months ago my wife was

lamenting the state of our veggie

garden. We’d had a great summer

of bounty: plenty of fruit and

vegetables had come from the soil

on our property and we had

enjoyed many meals with

everything on our plates either

grown or hunted … something we

find incredibly satisfying.

But on this particular occasion,

things were looking somewhat grim

in the veggie patch. Our summer

produce was looking pretty spent -

the tomatoes had seen better days,

the spinach had gone to seed and

the beans were looking limp and

wasted. In fact the only things that

were thriving … were the weeds.

But before you’d have me reach for

the

Round-Up

, consider this: What

is it about weeds that causes them

to flourish, when everything around

is dying? I mean they are built for

survival! They need far less looking-

after than our veggies. They don’t

need fertilising or bug sprays.

They’re not susceptible to powdery

mildew, copper deficiencies or a

myriad of other potential vegetable

issues. They’ll thrive in the wet …

or the dry! And seemed to have

adapted to whatever environmental

conditions they find themselves in.

Talk about resilient!

And man can they reproduce!

There’s no need to carefully plant

them out in special ‘seed-raising’

beds and tend to their every need.

They simply toss out a gazillion

seeds, let the wind or birds do their

thing, wait for the right conditions

and then … BAM! Weed city!

Weeds are survival experts …

they’re tenacious … they're

generous … in fact, they’re

everything I’d like to be!

Except hated.

Now where’s that Round-Up?

Article 1: Energy efficiency is

priority

INTRODUCTION

New Zealand’s electricity use is

characterised by decades of very low

energy efficiency in general and GOVT

has not dealt with it properly for ages.

Electricity prices are high and keep

rising every year. The growing

electrification of NZ is stimulated by

GOVT and Power companies while

fuel poverty is still growing, and more

families struggle to pay their high

electricity bills.

There is an urgent need for correct

information and education on how to

reduce energy bills, save money and

help reducing CO2-emissions at the

same time.

We hope to debunk the many myths on

energy and solar energy in particular,

by a series of articles that are

informative, and summarising the real

facts on the state-of-the-art solar

technology.

NZ’s big problem is low energy

efficiency

for

hot

water

production and heating.

More than 80% of all buildings

in NZ use electricity for cooking,

hot water production and heating

which is NOT very efficient.

Electricity

produced

centralised power plants is transported

and distributed over long distances,

creating huge losses before the

electricity even is used at end user

level.

Another extra 30% losses and more

electricity is further lost because at end-

use applications like hot water

production, cooking and heating.

Especially the production of hot water

with electrical cylinders creates huge

standing losses which are reflected in

high electricity bills.

Energy efficiency in the house

In the coming articles we will explain

how to create a more efficient lifestyle

with more comfort and lower electricity

bills. The main solutions to ‘kill’ the

electricity bill are LPG and Solar

energy. Eric Jansseune

SEVEN LIVES ON SALT RIVER

Dick Scott (Richard George Scott ONZM,17 November 1923 – 1

January 2020) was a journalist, writer, historian. He wrote a

number of books - the one I found of local interest was Seven

Lives on Salt River (1987), an account of seven families who

settled in the Kaipara district, which won the 1988 New Zealand

Book Award Histories of seven early settler families at Pahi,

northeast of Kaipara Harbour, N.Z. Jackman; de Labrosse ;

Pook; Stevens; Blackwell; Coates; Scotland. (First published by Hodder &

Stoughton 1987).

[Dick Scott noted one of our family ‘was a striking woman, her looks owing something

to the Spanish blood in her family’ - we do know her mother’s maiden name Spain! Ed.]
