THE TOP OF THE ROCK

The Kaiwaka Sports Association’s annual multi-sport

event, the Top of the Rock, will be held on Sunday 8th

March.

The owners of Baldrock Mountain are no longer granting

access to the mountain, so the KSA has had to re-think their

usual routes and have come up with a revamped Top of the

Rock!

There are two running/walking routes: a 5km and a 10km.

The 5km route goes around the two lakes near Baldrock Rd.

The 10km route goes around those two lakes then 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.

You don’t need to be concerned about your fitness level as

there is no time limit on completing the events and the KSA

will have marshals in utes following the tail enders who

will give you a ride back if you get tired! Participants of all

ages enter Top of the Rock, from pre-schoolers upwards –

with $50 cash going to the oldest participant!

There will be a Kids Fun Bike Ride for children under 11

years, which is free to enter. It is a short, flat course (going

around the Sports Complex grounds, school grounds and a

neighbour’s farm), and takes around 10 minutes, so it is

perfect for the young ones. Children will need a bike/

scooter plus a helmet. Every child who enters the Fun Bike

Ride will go in the draw for a prize pack.

Prizegiving will be held at the Sports Complex afterwards,

with prizes for place getters as well as lots of great spot

prizes, including a mountain bike.

Please note that there are NO ENTRIES ON THE DAY –

the last day to enter is Friday 6th March.

Entry forms and all the details can be downloaded from

www.kaiwakasports.co.nz.

Pictured is a queue waiting to use the Kaipara District

Council public toilets at the Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall.

Such a queue occurs every day, especially at the Ladies

Toilet. The pressure is so great the women even join the

men’s queue!

A bouquet to cleaners (Janet)! This is one of the reasons

these toilets are so popular with the travellers.

BLINDED By The LIGHT

Friday 21 February, 7.30pm (PG-13)

Blinded by the Light is a 2019 British

comedy-drama film directed by Gurinder

Chadha, inspired by the life of journalist

Sarfraz Manzoor and his love of the

works of Bruce Springsteen. Manzoor co-

wrote the script, with Chadha and Paul

Mayeda Berges.

“Javed is a Pakistani teenager who

experiences racial and economic turmoil

while living in Luton, England, in 1987.

He writes poetry as a way to escape the

intolerance of his hometown and the

stubborn views of his traditional father.

When a classmate introduces him to the

music of Bruce Springsteen …”

1 Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Road,

Kaiwaka.

On his few days with us our

wwoofer

helped

with

maintenance, gardened, made

crepes and salad and was

photographed with the Prime

Minister.

But besides Waitangi Day no labour or

pleasure was significant.

He requested time off to attend the

ceremonies on February 5-6th on the

recommendation of Kiwis he'd met

hitching. Many said he, a 25-year-old

Frenchman from Mont Saint-Michel in

Normandy where WW1 was fought,

ought to attend to see how Kiwis are.

He took a tent, a sleeping bag and food

from us and says he rose at 5am for the

dawning of Waitangi Day. He queued

to be served sausages by Jacinda

Ardern, an event he says could never

happen in France where ex-corporate

banker president Emmanuel Macron is

deeply unpopular.

But while the political mire of

Waitangi, and persuading the PM to

pose for a selfie, interested him, none

of it rattled him.

Not a word

The

shock

for

this

visitor

contemplating moving to NZ with his

partner (and in possession of a work

visa) is that no Waitangi speaker raised

the issue of climate change on our

national day. Since France celebrates

Bastille Day July 14 with reflections on

the nation's direction, he gasped.

Talk at Waitangi, he says, was about

religion, money and material things.

Personal

troubles

and

beliefs

dominated instead of thought for the

future and health of our environment.

His thoughts as he travelled from

Southland to Northland were on

drought,

the

flooding

emergencies

and

frequent

extreme weather events in

Europe, the Americas, Africa and

Australia.

"It really shocked me. No one

said anything," said Florian Huc,

a senior lifeguard and teacher

who turned a fear of swimming

into a strength, becoming the

France butterfly champion in

successive age group contests.

He ran lifeguard services in Mont

Saint-Michel and Corsica and for

two months in New Zealand has

investigated sustainable farming

and mutual lifestyles.

Getting along

Hitchhiking from south to north,

Florian rarely had to wait for a

ride, due, he thinks, to having a

positive attitude and being

willing to get and walk with his

rucksack when he had the

chance.

Complaint and frustration get

you nowhere, he says, recalling

another hitchhiker venting to him

about ungenerous motorists.

Florian soon found a ride,

leaving him to moan.

That helpful motorist had avoided the

other hiker because of his 'angry face'.

Coming back to us from Waitangi,

Florian was invited to stay by an elder

who'd led the welcoming party. But he

declined. His sense of respect to hosts,

to us, is evident. He left as he came,

hitchhiking to the Matakohe Kauri

museum, the fifth such museum he

would visit before flying off to

Thailand. ~ HP

Photos: Above - Florian's selfie with

Jacinda & sausages; elow - Florian Huc is

a lifeguard and a France age group

national butterfly swimming champion.

WHAT SHOCKED OUR WWOOFER

member, Cory Bellamy caught the

elusive Marlin on the west coast -

weighing in at 132.5kg. He also caught

a kingfish weighing in at 12.86kg.

Kaiwaka Can has been going five years

now. And from time to time we get a

burst of criticism about what we have

or haven’t done, mainly what we

haven’t done. Some have nicknamed us

Kaiwaka Can’t and others have said

they are Kaiwaka Do not Kaiwaka Can.

The group was named Kaiwaka Can

because we can make a difference to

this town and its surrounds.

So why is it all so slow?

Let me turn that question round and

ask, “What would make it faster?”

The simple answer is ‘you’ or to make

it even better, ‘all of us’. I am sure you

have heard the old joke about someone

coming across a small village and all

the people are in a circle around their

one and only street light which has

gone out. They are holding hands and

waiting patiently. The visitor asked

them what they were doing to which

they replied, “old proverb says many

hands make light work”. I was

fascinated to learn this proverb first

appeared in the early 1300’s well

before they had electric lights!

So what am I saying?

Kaiwaka is a town and district of more

than 2000 people and amongst us all is

an amazing array of gifts, skills, talents

and experiences. Artists, architects,

designers, environmentalists, writers,

sculptors,

engineers,

gardeners,

landscape designers, social workers,

managers, IT specialists...

Then there are the down to earth

practical people who see a job that

needs doing and grab some mates and

get it done. In the past it has been

mainly this group that got things done

here. But now, cramped as we are so

often

regulation,

council

requirements, NZTA, workplace safety,

traffic

management,

resource

management consents and red tape

enough to wrap up Mt Everest, it is not

as easy as it was.

We need both groups and in fact need

all of you. There are lots of things we

want to get done this year and we invite

you all to be part of that. What we like

to do is form people of like skills into a

team and let them get on with it.

to support. Well done to the students who seemed to have a wonderful time.

Welcome evening:

On Wednesday 19th February we have our annual welcome evening. This is a

great chance to meet the staff, prefects and other parents/caregivers. I will be

given a presentation about the school and this will be followed by a chance to

either have a tour of the school with the prefects, speak to staff members or go to

one of the presentations. Nyree Alcock will be presenting about the junior

TOP OF THE ROCK – Sunday

8th March

Have you entered Top of the Rock yet?

It will be a fun family day out – plus a

great way for you to support the Sports

Association. All profits will go into

providing sporting and recreational

opportunities for our community.

You can enter the 5km or 10km route

and choose to either run or walk it.

Plus, we will have a Kids Fun Bike

Ride for under 11-year olds back at the

KSA – which is free! It’s a short, flat

course (going around the KSA

grounds, school grounds and a

neighbour’s farm), and takes about 10

minutes, so it’s perfect for the young

ones. Your child will need a bike/

scooter plus a helmet. I am going to get

together a prize pack, so every child

who enters the Fun Bike Ride will be

in the draw!

A raffle will be drawn for a Husqvarna

lawnmower, kindly donated by Matt

from Kaiwaka Motorcycles. Tickets

are $5 (or 3 for $12) and you can buy

tickets from myself, from now up until

the day (you don’t have to be present at

Top of the Rock to claim it).

There are NO ENTRIES ON THE

DAY – your last chance to register is

Friday 6th March.

MAUNGATUROTO

AND DISTRICTS

ROTARY

We had a very successful

BBQ at President Les

Kenworthy-Thompson’s

home in mid-January.

This is a great way to

start the year and it was

followed up with a

potluck dinner the next

week.

We are fortunate this year again to

have the catering services of Otamatea

High School Netball and Duke of

Edinburgh Gold level parents and

students. It is a win-win situation for

both of us because not only do we get a

delicious meal, but the students are

able to fundraise in the process. We are

also grateful for the effort the parents

make on behalf of these youngsters.

Driver Mentoring

Most of you will be aware of our

Driver Mentoring scheme. We have six

drivers who help those with a Learner’s

licence progress to their Restricted. We

attended a training day in Whangarei

which ensured that we know the

expectations of the testing officer. So

far this year we are aware of four of

our students being successful. This will

mean that they will have more freedom

when job seeking.

At the start of the month approximately

a third of us were involved in helping

with the Paparoa A&P show in various

capacities. Those of us on the gate

were able to share this duty with our

fellow service club, Lions.

Earlier in February we had a surprise

visit from members of the Orewa/

Stillwater satellite club of which our

Assistant Governor is a member. It was

great to be able to socialise with these

people and there was also an excellent

chance to hear about the types of

activities they focus on and the

fundraisers that they take part in. As a

result of this visit, we have been

invited to reciprocate later in February

at Silverdale. As a club we have

decided that these types of visits are a

very important part of Rotary and we

hope to participate in them more often.

We have also had a club assembly.

This enabled us to talk about what is

important to each of us and helps us

plan the year ahead. We will continue

to meet on a weekly basis but will be

looking at having some form of

Associate membership. Details for this

are under discussion so more to come

in subsequent newsletters.

While we have successfully completed

the bridge at the bottom of the Nikau

Grove walkway, our next project in

that vicinity is to have a structure

placed over the roots of the kauri tree.

We are also looking at planting a

companion tree in this grove as this is

needed if we want the kauri to seed.

If you are interested in joining us at

any time, please don’t hesitate to get in

touch with one of the current Rotarians

or leave a message on the

Facebook page.

COMMUNITY

SERVICES

It is with sadness that we share the

news of the passing of one of our ex-

colleagues. Liz Bourne came to work at

the House as volunteer on the reception

desk. After a couple of years, she

trained as financial mentor where she

helped numerous clients with their

WINZ account, budgets and generally

provided great support to them. She

also took charge of the monthly

seniors’ lunch, doing most of the

cooking and became very popular with

the seniors due to her bubbly

personality. She suffered ill health for

years until it became such that she had

to leave work just over a year ago.

Sadly, her illness finally took over and

we said our final goodbye on Tuesday

4th February with her partner, son and

daughter, her extended family and

many friends. Liz will be missed by all.

February events went smoothly and

helped entertain a good mix of locals,

especially the monthly senior’s lunch

where the St John kitchen was in the

skilled hands of our new caterers. A

beautiful meal was enjoyed by

everyone with high praise coming back

to us for days afterwards.

If you have to

throw up, get

into a chair

quickly. If you

can’t manage

this in time, get

to an oriental

rug shag is good.

Determine quickly which guest

hates cats. Sit on that lap during the

evening. He won’t dare push you off

and will even call you “nice kitty”

For sitting on laps or rubbing

against trouser legs, select colours

that contrast your own.

Always accompany guests to the

bathroom. Its not necessary to do

anything. Just sit and stare.

5.For guests that say “I love kitties”,

be ready with aloof disdain, claws

applied to stockings, or a quick nip on

the ankles.

Do not allow closed doors in any

room. To get one open, stand on

hind legs and hammer

doorknob with forepaws.

When you have ordered an outside

door opened, stand half in and half

out and think about several things.

This is important during very cold

weather or mosquito season.

If one person is busy and the other

is idle, sit with the busy one. For

book readers, get in close under the

chin, unless you can lie across the

book itself.

For ladies knitting, curl quietly into

lap and pretend to doze. Then reach

out and slap knitting needles sharply.

This is what she calls a dropped stitch.

She will try to distract you. Ignore it.

For people doing homework, sit

on the paper being worked on. After

being removed the second time, push

anything moveable off the table

(pens, pencils, etc) one at a time.

New lights on roof

Many thanks to the Kaiwaka Can crew

for replacing the lights on our roof. It

has been a few years since we've had

them working, and it's great to see the

'book and glasses' refreshed and

glowing in the dark once more.

Book review

Over the Christmas break I

read Revenger by Alastair

Reynolds.

"The galaxy has seen great empires

rise and fall. Planets have

shattered and been remade.

Amongst the ruins of alien

civilizations, building our own from

the rubble, humanity still thrives.

And there are vast fortunes to be

mad, if you know where to find

them...

Captain Rackamore and his crew

do. It's their business to find the

tiny, enigmatic worlds which have

been hidden away, booby-trapped,

surrounded by layers of protection - and to crack

them open for the ancient relics and barely

remembered technologies inside. But while they

ply their risky trade with integrity, not everyone

is so scrupulous.

Revenger is a science fiction adventure story set

in the rubble of our solar system in the dark,

distant future - a tale of space pirates, buried

treasure, and phantom weapons, of unspeakable

hazards and single-minded heroism... and of

vengeance..."

I've read a few books by this author

before (I've reviewed Slow bullets here

in the past), and he's one that my

science

fiction-loving

friends

particularly recommended when I went

looking for suggestions to expand our

library's collection. This book did not

disappoint, and I'm looking forward to

the next two books in the series, which

as I type are sitting in my office

waiting their turn to be processed and

put on the shelves. Revenger is on the

Rental Fiction shelves in the library.

You can put a hold on

this and any other

borrowable item in the

library

visiting

Enterprise* or using the

Kaipara Libraries app

on your smartphone or

tablet. We can help you

with those if you need

assistance. If you're set

up for it, you'll be sent

an automated email and/

or text message when

the item is ready to be

collected, otherwise I

will contact you. The

automated services are

quicker than waiting for

me. Contact the library

to have either or both services turned

on for you.

See you in the library! ~Wendy

Article 3: Solar Hot Water

systems are a NO BRAINER

Electricity needs for hot water use are

high and estimated at 40 to 50% of the

electricity bill in a normal NZ

household.

Solar hot water (SHW) systems are a

NO BRAINER

The SHW state-of-the-art systems can

produce as much as 3,000 kWh/year of

‘free’ hot water. A small SHW of less

than 3 m2 can easily cover 70 % of the

yearly hot water needs for a 4 person

family. The hot water temperatures at

the end of the day will vary between 45

-85C in summer, and will preheat the

water to 30-45C in winter.

Auxiliary heating can be provided with

electricity, gas or wetback to guarantee

maximum

comfort.

Economic

evaluation?

respect

life

expectancy?

The main economic factor to evaluate

solar systems is NOT the price only,

but the ratio of price on performance.

The question is how much energy a

solar system will produce in kWh/y at

what price during a lifespan of 30

years? Solar hot water systems always

save a dollar for a dollar whenever the

family uses hot water. Solar hot water

systems, state-of-the-art, have proven

life span of 30 years in Europe without

dropping on efficiency.

If you install a SHW system, the

energy provider has no financial

control whatever on your savings or

feed-in tariff. Your savings are always

created at the highest electricity tariff.

If you install a state-of-the-art SHW

you can save $ 800-1,000/y at 35 ct. /

kWh.

CONCLUSION

The use of solar energy for hot water

production can contribute significantly

to reduce the ecological footprint of

every New Zealander and should be a

NO BRAINER in New Zealand.
