USING THE DUST!
BIANCA’S BITTERSWEET MOVE
Margaret Baker posted this brilliant photo of the
back of one our Leabourn school buses
Making use of the dust on the back of the bus…
Please slow down when passing a school bus
dropping off or picking up school children.
And a reminder that the dusty roads mean
there hasn’t been enough rain!

LIBBY JONES –
NORTHLAND
DISTRICT HEALTH
BOARD
We had a great turn
out at the community
meeting organised by
Northland DHB in
Maungaturoto, to get
feedback from our
area
on
our
experiences of health
services and our health
priorities. This was to
help
the
DHB
develop
the
new Northland Health Strategy, which
will provide high-level direction for
delivering
health
services
and
improving wellbeing in Northland.
It was a privilege to be part of this
group of around 30 residents from
Paparoa to Mangawhai and listen to
their stories of good and bad
experiences and their ideas on how
things could be done better.
Focus on issues
There was a large focus on issues in
primary care, covering access to
GPs; community services; mental
health
services;
transport
to
services;
desire
for
cultural
alternatives
such
as
Rongoā
medicine; options for young people,
including those who are not in the
relative security of a school
environment any longer; desire for
more holistic approach to health
care; dignity and care for our
vulnerable citizens, both older
people and those with disabilities;
hospital
issues
re
discharge
planning,
especially
obtaining
services
after
discharge
over
weekends,
and
communication
between hospital and primary care;
as well as some questions about
Ministry of Health Funding such as the
low payment for Carer Support, lack of
subsidised dental care, and cost of
running community services such as
Linking Hands.
There was also a strong focus on being
proactive about our own health to keep
ourselves well and seeking information
to make good decisions.
You may have other experiences and
ideas to add, so if you were not able to
attend but would still like to have your
voice heard, complete the survey
online
https://community.northlanddhb.org.nz/NHS/
feedback/
We started to talk about solutions for
our area and there was certainly lots of
energy for this. Maybe as a follow on
we could organise a meeting to look
further at local options for wellness
solutions, communication and co-
ordination. Do get in touch if this
interests you.
Stay well, Libby Jones

KAIWAKA
WEATHER
Well we have leaped into (ha
ha) leap year yet again after
4 years. Watch out guys, the gals can
propose officially so it is said.
Also, we are at the start of Autumn.
The temperatures have cooled down a
bit. Those that wanted summer surely
did get it and are still having it. Our
thermometer reached a mean 35deg in
the shade and breeze and some days
would have been higher however we
were not at home to read the
thermometer.
No use telling you how hard the
ground is as if you are a gardener you
will know. We have not kept up with
the watering and now plants are dying.
I should practice what I preach about
watering.
We had a tempting 11mm of rain on
the 22nd February. We are 1km north
of Kaiwaka and 1km south of Kaiwaka
they got 3mm. We have seen
numerous truck and trailer loads of hay
daily heading North lately. At least
those dreadful winds subsided.
One feels sorry for the animals - and
the farmers watching pastures dry up.
The cracks in the lawns are getting
horrendous. The way we are going we
will soon be able to see the other side
of the world. Please keep up the water
for the animals. We can go buy
something to drink as the animals etc
cannot. They rely on you to help them.
You still need to slip, slop and slap, the
sun is still burning hot. I still advise
you to get that extra water tank as we
seem to be getting drier nearly every
year. I believe the water tanker wait is
6
weeks
in
Mangawhai
and
surrounding areas so be warned. Not
sure about Kaiwaka. Oh, now it is
really scary. The Brynderwyn waterfall
is hardly trickling at all, it is hard to
see a trickle as you drive past (being a
passenger) that is now.
February rainfall for 2020 - we had
11mm and 2019 we had 72mm. We
had rain on 1 day in 2020 and 6 days in
2019. For the first two months of 2020
we had 32mm and 2019 we had
103mm.
Our driest February since 1987 was
1990 with 3mm and the wettest was
2004 with 260mm.
Our driest first two months of any year
since 1987 was 1990 with 38mm and
the wettest was 2018 with 375mm.
Just remember when we do get some
rain the roads will be slippery. You
may think you are the world’s best
driver but there are heaps of people out
there who should not be driving and do
not even pay for a licence.
A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor’s office
and asked, "is it true that the medication you
prescribed me has to be taken for the rest of my life"?
"I am afraid so" her doctor told her. After a moment’s
silence the senior citizen replied, "I am wondering just
how serious my condition is, because the prescription is
marked "No more repeats".
Please take care out there and enjoy
the rest of the good weather. ~ Bev.

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSN
Touch Module
Our Touch Module wrapped up last
week with semis and finals. The Semis
match between Toka Sports Academy
and Kaipara Wolves was super tight - a
draw at fulltime, so the Drop Off
Procedure was played. My Player of
the Match went to Jesse Manuell, who
thundered down the field to prevent the
opposition scoring and then thundered
straight back down the other end to
score the winning try!
The finals between The Spartans and
Kaipara Wolves was a nail-biter too,
also going into Drop Off, with the
Kaipara Wolves eventually scoring for
the win and taking out the
Championship.
Many thanks to all the players who
competed with good sportsmanship and
heart. And a big thank you to our
referees: Bruce Leslie, Gerrin Taiaroa,
Zac Langridge and Kenny Finlayson.

Top of the Rock
The Kaiwaka Sports Associations
annual run/walk event, the Top of the
Rock, is this Sunday and it’s not too
late to enter!
There are two run or walk courses:
5km and 10km. Routes travel through
some of Kaiwaka’s most scenic
countryside – bush, lakes and farmland,
culminating with a view atop the 10km
course that has never been open to the
public before, spanning the ocean to
the harbour.
Note: Top of the Rock does NOT go
up Baldrock Mountain this year.
There is no time limit on completing
the events and we have marshalls 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 –
and they have a prize for the oldest

Community-based predator control is
tipping the balance in the northern
Kaipara.
Support for Community predator control
areas [CPCAs] comes from the Northland
Regional Council with four of these on
Oneriri Peninsula alone.
A Kaipara Harbour based management
group wants to meet with the neighbours
who do the work so there can be a
"catchment wide approach".
Integrated Kaipara Harbour Management
Group [IKHMG] coordinator Kym Burke
says three discussions will be set up in the
south at Helensville, north at Dargaville
and centrally at
Kaiwaka.
At
Kaiwaka people
from
Tinopai,
Pahi,
Whakapirau,
Oneriri
and
Tapora peninsulas
who participate and provide input into the
predator scoping study can hear what's
being done across the CPCA areas and
offer further input.
It will give communities the opportunity
to work together and public meetings are
likely by midyear. ~ HP

Book review
Recently I've read I am not a number
by Lisa Heathfield. "The Traditionals have
been voted to lead the country, winning people over
with talks of healing a broken society, of stronger
families and safer streets. They promised a happier
future for everyone. They didn't promise this. When
Ruby is swept up with protesters from the opposition,
her life is changed forever. Locked in a prison camp far
from home and with her belongings taken from her,
she's now known by the number 276. With horror
escalating in the camp, Ruby knows that she has to get
her family out - and let the world know what's
happening."
This
was
a
stunning read,
along the lines
of CK Stead's
Smith's Dream
which
was
turned into the
movie Sleeping
Dogs - set in the
current
day,
posing
an
horrific
situation that is
all-to possible.
It is on the
Rental Fiction
shelves in the
library at the moment but is a YP (teen
fiction) title and free to borrow - don't
let the 'teen' label put your off, it's an
excellent read.
See you in the library! ~Wendy

Kaiwaka Bugle - 3 March, 2020
Page 19
Many young millennials are
skipping tourist packages and
holidaying with social networks.
Two recent arrivals from central
Germany to Oneriri came via seven
weeks in Australia and plan to be in
New Zealand around four months,
mostly working with Kiwis through the
Wwoof [Willing Workers on Organic
Farms] network and between times
checking out the sights, and cultural
attractions.
A similarity between these millennials
[* those born between 1981 and 1996
according to Wikipedia] and Kiwis
who’ve done an ‘OE’ is their eagerness
to work and learn about local cultures.
Thousands are coming – for some
Europeans, North Americans and
Japanese ~ there are no limits on
numbers under the age of 30 - and
individuals can elect to stay up to 23
months provided they have funds for a
return
ticket.
[see
https://
www.immigration.govt.nz/new-
zealand-visas/options/work/thinking-
about-coming-to-new-zealand-to-
work/working-holiday-visa].
Our recent guests, Bianca and Benni,
both 30 years old, arrived Monday
evening direct from Australia via an
Intercity bus.
They had been seven weeks in
Australia – largely in Tasmania to
avoid the bushfires. They had returned
to a Tasmanian host to build, garden
and bee keep when smoke was choking
on the East Coast.
“Where we were at Noosa we were
having to wear facemasks in the
house,” says Bianca.
Second visit
That was her second visit to Australia.
She has worked in human resources for
federal and state governments in
Hessen,
near
Frankfurt
as
‘sachbearbeiterin im haushalt und
control’ after ‘wwoofing’ as an 18-year
-old school leaver with Davidsons
Arnhemland Safaris; at Kin Kin ‘eco
lodge’ in the Noosa Unesco Biosphere;
and near Mission Beach, Queensland.
Benni, then as now her close friend,
had chosen not to go.
He regrets that but is glad to be given a
furlough
from
his
post
as
‘stellvertretender
gruppenleiter’ [deputy group leader or
middle manager] at a large German
company.
“We can see something different, leave
out the tourist traps. I really envied her
guts to do that [early trip]. I had felt I
needed to do something in my working
and turned out more adult because of
the jobs.”
Both are keen concertgoers and collect
band set lists from concerts. They have
a close circle of friends with similar
interests.
Against habit
The trip south for six months is their
deliberate step against a previous
pattern of ‘frequent flying’ in Europe
and North America, to spurn package
holidays and air pollution.
Coming down under they come here
and go back by air and can move freely
by bus, taxi and boat.
Bianca has an economics degree and
wants to learn about sustainability, how
to do permaculture, to build a food
forest and to replace artificial fertilisers
with mulches of various plants.
So, both came to a small wwoof farm
in Kaiwaka prepared to share.
They lift heavy loads, edge gardens,
help with watering, use our machines
and see how we subsist.
They love our oranges, our bananas,
our passionfruit, our tomatoes, our
salads and our supply of water from the
sky.
Prepared to share
Bianca says that they have been
learning to accept what comes and to
work with a positive attitude.
“We are where we are, collecting horse
manure, digging under a woolshed,
watering gardens in the dry and making
a special hummus for our hosts, doing
it up to a standard we would expect at
home, and getting appreciation for it,”
says Benni.
“Where we’ve been in Australia and
Kaiwaka has been terrific. Good food,
good projects, good people,” says
Bianca.
“It’s a cultural exchange and we feel
we’ve made a difference with helping.”
She says the working volunteer costs
are similar across the Tasman though
Wwoof membership here is lower and
a working holiday visa dearer at
NZ$208 even though it initially
appears harder to find hosts than
Australia where many wwoofers are
their age or older.
In Coromandel they will compare
experiences with friends nearing the
end of their Wwoof trip. ~ HP
