MCCLEAN PARK

BIANCA MARTIN CYCLE TOURIST

Expect future tourism to

be low impact and

rebuild small towns.

The social networks for

walkers, cyclists, home

sitters and voluntary

workers are growing

massively and those using them

value a local experience. Whether

they arrive by bus, van, foot or on a

bike, these tourists want to lend a

hand and learn about some of the

neighbourliness that New Zealand is

rightly famous for.

Take Bianca Marton. 26 years old

and on her second visit here, she has

ridden up the west coast through

Kaiwaka to the Capes and plans to

come down the East through Waipu,

Lang’s Beach and Mangawhai.

Bianca is a keen triathlete and

prepared to tackle the traffic and the

roads.

Her impressions of what she has

seen of the country, south and north:

"It's been wonderful. People go out

of their way. It reaffirms for me that

people are kind.

"People have their own gardens,

growing their own vegetables and

fruit and use that to cook with."

Born in Nice on the French

Mediterranean coast, her mother is

Italian and her father Romanian.

She shares her cultural knowledge

and experiences with those she

meets and looks forward to hosting

people back in Europe where until

18 months ago she was marketing a

small scale UK chocolate company.

Chooses to cycle

Bianca chooses to cycle because of

its low impact on the environment

"and I meet people. I bring also the

different cultures I have within me."

She spends much longer in the

country than an 8-day package

tourist.

The Warmshowers network [see

Wikipedia]

had

116,000

participants a few months back

with more than half of those

registered as hosts.

What could Kaiwaka and

the Kaipara do to help?

Councils and groups like

Kaiwaka

Can

are

identifying courses for

cycle trails especially

some clear of motor

traffic.

Likely benefits

What benefits can low key

travellers bring? Serving

them will be local shops,

parcel depots, information

boards describing local

histories and cultures, and

events in local halls.

The low key focus looks

good for small towns and

country folk. ~ HP

NB: Don’t tear down your

woolshed. It may be

needed for a party.

Or is it McDirty? Sadly folk are not taking

their rubbish with them, or even disposing

of it in the correct places.

A kind local filled two black bags and at

least four large cartons last week from

round our local rest area at McClean Park.

We do miss Mrs Elizabeth Preston who has

now retired after many years of cleaning up.

The beginning of the year

is the perfect time to come

along and try singing with

the Local Vocals Choir.

They started their new

term on the 30th January

with an exciting new

theme of “Songs from

around the World” to take

them through 2020.

Anna

Pendred,

LVC

President says “singing songs with this

theme will allow us a glimpse into

different

musical

genres

both

traditional and contemporary. It will

connect people with diverse cultures

from all around the world and reflects

our philosophy of embracing this

diversity within our local community.”

LVC has a membership of about 30

regular singers and been singing since

2013. It is open to all as a non-

auditioning, affordable, all-inclusive

community choir. “We encourage

anyone to come along, even if you’ve

never sung before - you don’t need to

be able to read music or have any prior

experience.”

Their passionate song leader, Helen

Diaz, continues “Harmony singing in a

group provides an opportunity for an

authentic,

interactive

musical

experience… a [tradition] probably as

old as human culture.”

What’s more, many socio-cultural

studies have proven that, engaging in

inclusive community group singing

also boosts the wellbeing of all those

involved,

both

physically

and

mentally.

Proof is in the testimonials from choir

members:

“[LVC] is just the most supportive and fun

way of learning and expressing ourselves

that anyone could wish for!” W.L

“It’s a rare opportunity to be involved in a

choir like LVC. Feedback from audiences

is that we are constantly improving how we

sing together, but most importantly we

have developed a real sense of family.

‘Harmonic and nurturing’ is what we are

all about!!!”

W.S

LVC sessions are on Thursday

evenings, 7 till 9pm during school

terms at the Wellsford District

Community Centre.

Please email singlvc@gmail.com for

more details or come along to a

session.

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Welcome

readers

February 2020.

Well 2020 has got off to a flying start.

The children are back at school with

the little newbies and maybe new

families that have shifted to the area. It

will be another scorcher for the

children trying to concentrate on

schoolwork and the heat. It is bad

enough for the adults in jobs that sap

their energy.

For a while there in January a lot of

folk thought we were not going to get

any summer much as it turned rather

cool. It soon straightened itself up and

here we are with temperatures up to

33deg at least. In the shade under our

terrace we have been up to 38 deg. the

cracks in the ground are getting big and

the garden needs a lot of water and that

is another job every day. The

Brynderwyn waterfall has got very

slow now. Not a good sign.

Well for January 2020 we had 10mm

of rain and 2019 we had 31mm.

We had rain on 3 days in 2020 and rain

on 2 days for 2019.

Our driest January of any year since

1987 was 2013 and 2020 both with

10mm of rain.

Our wettest January was 1989 with

343mm.

Well our land is starting to look like

Australia and with no rain in sight

things are bad. Please keep the animals

watered as they too like to drink to

keep hydrated. Until next time take

care out there. ~ Bev.

Parekura Road recorded 3.5mm for

January 2020 - the lowest recorded for

any month in over 20 years. Ed.

VISITORS SAY THANK YOU

Mark Ottaway presented a cheque to

Fire Chief Bowmar and Deputy Fire

Chief Buxton for $2633 from the Otta-

way Christmas Light display.

Thank you to all who helped.

Happy New Year from Hakaru

RSA Women's Section.

This report covers 3 months:

We had our Christmas Dinner at

the November meeting, and a delicious

meal was enjoyed by all, mainly thanks

to Lena who organised most of the

food.

There was no meeting in December as

we all had a date with Santa, hope all

your Christmas festivities went well

and our first meeting for the year was

on Thursday 23rd January with an

excellent attendance of 16 members.

We were sad to lose a very special and

long-standing member Bettie Marchant

2 days before Christmas, There was a

large attendance at her Memorial

service, and we send deepest sympathy

to all her family.

Lena, Trish, Doreen and Ann visited

Pat Judd in Orewa, it was good to see

her looking well and happy.

Congratulations to our Patroness Fay

Wintle on turning 90 years old, in

Fay’s case maybe it should be 90 years

young, we presented Fay with flowers

and messages in a card.

The raffle was won by Trish Black and

2nd prize went to Margaret Haverfield

Birkenhead RSA have invited us to

their Animal Remembrance day on

Monday 24th February members

wishing to go please ring Lena, there is

plenty of transport available.

The next meeting will be on Thursday

27th February at 1.30pm followed by

the A.G.M. All members please attend,

new members very welcome, ring

RECYCLING

There are a number of items

unsuitable for recycling, which

Kaipara Refuse had collected in the

yellow bags.

In simple terms paper, cardboard,

glass, aluminium cans, tins, plastics

(only Grade 1 & 2) can be recycled.

This means that the other grades of

plastics are not suitable and should be

disposed of with the regular rubbish.

Surprisingly, takeaway coffee cups are

not recyclable.

There is a downloadable flyer on the

www.lovekaipara.co.nz/recycling site,

which sets it all out clearly.

Youth Theatre 2020

We had two fabulous weeks of Youth

Theatre in January.

The theme was ‘The Princess of Pure

Delight’, based on the song by Kurt

Weill and Ira Gershwin.

The young actors had great fun

creating an hour-long show; they all

learnt songs, dances, and stage craft.

Our shows, on each of the Friday

evenings, were in full costume with

make-up, props, sets, lights and special

effects. It is heartening to see how

many of the children return year after

year – some travel up from the South

Island. Lifelong friendships are formed

at Youth Theatre. It takes a lot of

volunteer labour to run this program

and we are particularly indebted to all

those who give so willingly of their

time and energy.

A special thank you to the Otamatea

Community Services for the use of

their minibus.

Seussical Jnr

Peter Flower has been appointed

Director of this show with Musical

Direction by Maura Flower.

The popular show features stories from

Dr Seuss and has lots of colourful

characters. The music is contemporary.

All members of the cast must be 17 or

younger.

Auditions will be held over two days -

Saturday 15 February and Sunday 16

February, between 1pm and 5pm

Please contact Peter Flower for an

audition time.

Email peter.flower58@gmail.com or

phone or text 021 164 8318

There will be eight shows held between

9 May and 24 May 2020.

SCULPTURE IN THE GARDEN

This year’s Sculpture

the

Garden

exhibition promises to

be more exciting than

ever says Organiser

Pauline

Mann

(pictured). With more

than 30 New Zealand

and

international

sculptors showing their

work, there will be

much to provoke the

interest of visitors to

the exhibition. The

show

occupies

beautiful

garden

generously

provided

for the event by Brian and Isobel Hollis. All the sculptures are for sale and the

proceeds will benefit Te Whai Community Trust, and Mangawhai Artists Inc.

Te Whai Community Trust acts as a first point of contact, to help people to

access social services, and Mangawhai Artists is a group which actively

supports local artists of all kinds, from beginners to professionals.

The exhibition will be held at 69 Moir St, Mangawhai village, on the weekend

of 15-16 February 9am-5pm. Entry is $5 or $10 for two adults and two

children.

There will be a café, where visitors can purchase Devonshire teas, a children's

sculpture play area, and music will be provided by local group Raw Jam.

People are asked to leave their dogs at home.

The 10km route traverses private land

never before opened to the public,

reaching a lofty spot on the hills at the

base of the Brynderwyns with fantastic

views to the ocean to the east and

through to the Kaipara Harbour to the

west. Spectacular! (Please note, Top of

the Rock does NOT go up Baldrock

Mountain this year).

with prizes for place-getters plus lots of

great spot prizes, including a mountain

Kaiwaka Bugle - 4 February, 2020

New friendships were made, and older

Scouts enjoyed catching up with

friends from previous events during the

11-day action-packed Jamboree. Three

thousand Scouts aged 12 to 15 years

from New Zealand and overseas

enjoyed a wide variety of activities

during Jamboree, at Mystery Creek

Events Centre from 28 December to 7

January.

While most activities were based on

site at Mystery Creek, jetboating was a

surprise activity and well-kept secret

that was part of an off-site overnight

water base at Lake Karapiro. Included

were sailing, kayaking, raft making, a

water slide and stand-up paddleboards.

According to the six Kaiwaka-

Mangawhai Scouts, who with Scouts

from Dargaville (4), Whangarei (15)

and Australia (11) made up the

Northern

Nightmares

contingent,

“Jamboree was awesome”. Other

activity

favourites

were

digger

operating, flying fox, rock climbing,

abseiling, target shooting, archery,

quad bikes, drift bikes, laser tag, Leap,

and ‘Scout Champion of the

World’ inflatable obstacle

course, human fly, human

foosball, and dodgeball.

Each group went on different

mystery day tours, which

included Hamilton Gardens,

Te Awamutu Space Centre,

Otorohanga Kiwi House and

Cambridge. International night

performances,

New

Year

party, market day, an indoor

campfire, and the opening and

closing

ceremonies

were

special events throughout the

Jamboree.

Badge swapping and community

service building rat traps added to the

experiences, plus life skills such as

patrol team building, cooking, grocery

shopping and doing laundry by hand.

Scout leader Julia Watson from

Mangawhai said, “Jamboree was such

an awesome experience. The Scouts

have done things that will be with them

for life. They have grown so much in

confidence and come back different

people. We thank the community for

supporting our fundraising efforts –

especially MCOST and Mangawhai

Walking Weekend.

“Jamboree is a once in a life-time

experience, with activities, adventure,

challenges, friendship and fun. Scouts

designed their own troop badge, special

camp uniform, site entrance and market

day activity – ours choosing a

Halloween/horror theme based on the

Northern Nightmares troop name.”

FOR SALE - Wellsford Sports & Leisure

owned by Sandra Shaw

Having owned Wellsford Sport & Leisure since February 1995 I have decided to

put the business up for sale.

It has been an interesting journey and I have thoroughly enjoyed myself helping

customers, clubs and groups find what they need.

I have employed wonderful staff whom I now call my “family” and have made a

tremendous number of friends through customers, salespersons etc – many of

them now life-long friends.

My promise to all my fantastic customers who have supported me so well over

all these years is that I will absolutely, definitely do everything in my power to

make sure that whoever takes over running this business will continue on all the

truly valued relationships that I have built up over the years. If it wasn’t for all

these wonderful and magnificent friends and family I wouldn’t be here today,

the shop wouldn’t still be servicing Wellsford and the wider community as it is

and the relationship that has been mutually built up with clubs and groups would

not be as successful as it is. The support has been great for Wellsford Sports &

Leisure and in return Wellsford Sports & Leisure has helped many clubs and

groups grow and achieve their goals. I am very proud to have been part of that.

The slogan for my shop has always been “Locals Supporting Locals” and this

has been “on point”.

I am extremely hopeful that whoever takes over ownership of Wellsford Sports

& Leisure will continue servicing the area and have that youthful passion, ideas

and enthusiasm to provide an even better service bringing on board their vision

for Wellsford and the wider community for 2020.

The business is for sale by auction (7 March 2020)unless sold prior.

Monster book sale

Our big sale of old books is such a

success, we're going to continue it

indefinitely. One book for 50 cents,

three for $1, or 10 books for $2.50. We

have new stock being added to the sale

shelves regularly, so pop in and find

something for you or the kids.

Summer Reading Challenge

Many thanks to everyone who entered

the Summer Reading Challenge. As I

type, there's still a day left to get

entries in, so I don't know who the

winners are yet.

NLN Large Print & Audio

Books

The decision has been made that all the

libraries in Kaipara District will pull

out of this service when the current

titles we hold expire in April. Our

libraries' needs have changed, and it's

no longer effective for us for the effort

involved.

We will continue to carry Large Print

books in our library, so you won't see

much change there. There is little call

for audio books in our

library now - we've been

issuing only a couple each

month for some time - so I

have no immediate plans to

replace that collection.

Most of our audio book

fans have switched to the

digital

formats

that

download to a computer or

portable device. But we

can source them if there is

a demand, so if you miss

them when they're gone,

talk to me and we will

work it out.

Book Review

Where do I start? - I have

read 17 books since the last

one I reviewed in the

Bugle! No, I didn't know

that number off the top of my head, I

keep track of my reading at

goodreads.com. You can 'friend' me

there or find my book review page at

Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/

WendyReadsBooks/) if you want to see

what I've been reading.

At the moment, I'm reading the 5th

book in the Paula Maguire series by

Claire McGowan. It starts with Lost,

where we meet Paula, newly-arrived

back at her home town in Northern

Ireland, having left when she was 18

and thought she would never go back.

She is a forensic psychologist, brought

in to join a new cross-border missing

persons' team, to work on current cases

and from back in the 'troubles'. Of

course, she comes with her own

baggage, including the boyfriend who

dumped her and her high-school best

friend who are still in town, and in the

course of the books as she works on

cases we find out more about what

happened

when

her

mother

disappeared, when Paula was just 13

years old. We have all six books in the

series on our shelves, currently on the

Rental

Fiction

shelves, and the

first book is also on

our Large Print

shelves until early

April.

You can find these

and our other books

at Enterprise* or the

library app on your

smartphone/tablet

and place a hold to

be the next in line

to borrow them.

Ask me for help if

you need assistance

with it.

See you in the

library! ~Wendy

Kaiwaka Bugle - 4 February, 2020

Page 19

Hot water cylinders and electric heaters

have huge standing losses of more than

30% which are directly reflected in high

energy bills. The use of LPG for cooking,

hot water and heating is much more

efficient and cheaper to run. Instantaneous

gas califont for hot water production only

cost 19 ct/kWh compared to 30-35 ct/kWh

for electricity. Cost savings can be as high

as $750/y.

You only use gas when you open a tap.

Economic evaluation?

LPG califonts have similar initial costs

than electric cylinders, but have much

lower running costs and almost NO

maintenance cost. Electric cylinders have

huge standing losses, need maintenance

and have shorter lifespans.

Expansion of water = daily loss of water

+ energy

Expansion of hot water in cylinders create

daily losses of water and energy to the

drain or on the roof.

Safety valves are ‘famous’ for leaking or

clogging. Vent pipes through the roof show

water spouting and create corrosion on the

roof. Gas califonts have NO expansion

issues of hot water.

NO Dependency on the grid

When installing LPG bottles for cooking

and hot water production, the power

company has no financial control on your

electricity bill or RIPPLE CONTROL

where the energy provider cuts the power

to the cylinder. The on-going power-cuts in

NZ do not really contribute to the comfort

that every NZ-er wants to create in the

house.

CONCLUSION

The advantages of LPG for cooking and

hot water can be summarised as following:

- More comfort for less cost.

- No standing losses.

- Low running cost per kWh compared to

electricity.

- Independency from the grid, no ripple

control, no power cut problems.
