Little towns that could raise $44,000

from Garden and House Tour

The success of the Dahlias for

Dementia Garden & House Tour 2020

held in Kaipara late last month is a

heart-warming story of the little towns

that could.

The fundraiser for a dementia unit

in Maungaturoto that will serve

Kaipara district involved almost 20

garden and home owners from within

and

near

the

townships

Maungaturoto, Paparoa and Matakohe.

Solid support also came from the

Kaiwaka community.

When the organising team launched the

project, they didn’t dream they would

sell more than 700 tickets and raise a

whopping $44,000 – but those dizzying

numbers were achieved.

Karen Smales, who came up with the

idea while working in her garden, says

the project seemed to capture the

attention of people, organisations and

businesses. People bought tickets from

far afield, including in London, and

many locals hosted family and friends

who converged on Kaipara for the

weekend.

“It’s vital for small communities to

attract outsider funds – and the tour

achieved that. Both locals and visitors

made

financial

donations,

from

thousands of dollars to saying ‘keep the

change’ when they bought the art,

food, coffee, plants, fruit and

vegetables sold at various properties.

“In the grounds of iconic Totara House

in Matakohe, members of a local art

group sold their work while a ukulele

group played for the cause.

“Hundreds bought fundraising lunches

at Sevenoaks near Maungaturoto, while

at Woodleigh, west of Matakohe,

morning and afternoon teas were in hot

demand.

Volunteers

managed a steady flow

of ticketholders across

the district. It was a huge community

effort.”

Karen says a major challenge for the

generous and hard-working hosts was

keeping their gardens looking fabulous

despite the long drought.

“They all succeeded – and then some,”

she says. “Every garden was a

showpiece and ticketholders were

universal in their praise. The tour was a

massive team effort by the wider

community and the area was alive with

people.”

The garden and house tour was

supported by Bayleys Real Estate

Northland and Alzheimers Northland

plus many other businesses, some from

as far away as Whangarei and

Auckland. Community newspapers

were also supportive - including the

Kaiwaka Bugle.

The 14-bed unit will be part of

Riverview Resthome and Retirement

Village which is owned by the

Maungaturoto Community Charitable

Trust. It will increase the number of

dementia beds in Northland by about

10 percent.

Seussical Jnr – directed by Peter Flower

We had a very successful audition weekend, and the show has now been cast,

with rehearsals underway. Some of you will remember that we performed the

full-length version of ‘Seussical’ – in 2013.

This year’s production is the junior version of the show – to be performed in

May 2020. The entire cast is comprised of a very talented bunch of young

performers. ‘Seussical Jnr’, described as a fantastical, magical musical, is based

on the books of Dr Seuss.

The story is an amalgamation of many of his most famous books with the “Cat

in the Hat” acting as “your host and MC” and goes from the Jungle of Nool to

the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos. The pace will be

lively, with plenty of opportunity for inventive set, lighting and costume design

and music both ensemble and solo.

Dr. Seuss’ lessons – “don’t ever give up, use

your imagination and be faithful one hundred

percent” are lovingly brought to life on the

stage.

“Now, imagine a curtain and what lies behind,

the kind of a place you might see in your

mind…. From the page to the stage, come along

and enjoy – this tale of an elephant, a bird and a

boy!”

Eight shows, all in May –

Sat 9 May and Sun 10 May @ 2pm

Sat 16 May @ 2pm and 7pm, Sun 17 May @ 2pm

Fri 22 May @ 7.30pm, Sat 23 May @ 2pm, Sun

24 May @ 2pm

Tickets will be on sale soon though Tony’s Lotto Shop and online at

ST. PATRICK’S DAY

Why do you pinch on St Patrick

Day?

Pinching people on St Patrick's

day is thought to revolve around the

leprechaun and the legend that wearing

green makes one invisible to the

mischievous fairies. As the dubious

legend dictates, leprechauns would

pinch anyone not wearing green – so

people pinch those not wearing green

to remind them …

Saint Patrick's Day, is a cultural and

religious celebration held on 17 March,

the traditional death date of Saint

Patrick (c. AD 385–461), the foremost

patron

saint

Ireland

and

commemorates Saint Patrick and the

arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and

celebrates the heritage and culture of

the Irish in general. Celebrations

generally involve public

parades and festivals, céilís,

and the wearing of green

attire or shamrocks.

From Thelma’s

Scrapbook …

SERVICE WITH A

SMILE

Prospective officers were being

trained in ship handling aboard our

destroyer. For most of them, it was

their first time they had handled a

vessel this size and we suspected they

would be nervous. To add to their

tension, the captain often ordered

surprise manoeuvres to see how the

trainees would operate under

pressure.

One day, he arrived on the bridge

and, pointing to starboard, ordered

the officer-trainee on duty to “Go

over there.” The fellow ran to the

starboard side and looked back. The

captain sighed. “Good, officer of the

watch. Now take the ship with

you.” -JOHN MOORE

During the week my wife picked up a

couple of interesting bits of news about

Kaiwaka.

The first was an article in a

Northern Advocate, March 2nd

headed up “Towns beckon city

runaways”. A number of well-known

locals were interviewed on their views

about Kaiwaka, what makes it

attractive and what it needs to make it

even more so.

The attractions include freedom from

city life, close enough to Auckland and

Whangarei to commute, a great option

for those working from home and a

community with a sense of being ready

to take off. The school is already

showing this with a roll now of more

than 140. It is also close to the beach

and is centrally located for people

exploring the lower north. And people

certainly stop on their way through, at

the Bakery (with a side trip to check

out the Op Shop), at Eutopia and the

cheese shop and more mundanely at the

toilets rated the best kept in Kaipara

with a dash over the road to Jaques.

And forgive me for not mentioning all

the other great efforts being made

because it is a long list indeed.

The

needs

included

better

infrastructure, especially roading to

open up new housing areas, better

services such as a medical clinic and

pharmacy, an integrated town centre

and a wider range of shops.

The second interesting item came

from the One Roof property

guide

. Kaiwaka is in the top ten places

in New Zealand for the jump in

property prices in the three months to

January, 8.4% and 10% for the last

twelve months. It had the highest

percentage rise for the whole of

Kaipara. 44 houses sold over the past

year. Not bad for a town that is really

pretty small.

The question is, how do we make

the most of this?

We need more

roads, more land for houses, better

services, more recreational space and

more innovative businesses that make

us a top stopping place.

I suggest this is a year to work hard on

our future. Some of our future is

determined at Council level after

consultation. Some of it needs really

creative thinking. Some of it means

narrowing in on specific projects and

working like mad to get them in place.

There is room for industry here, some

good land for cropping and a wide

range of recreational opportunities that

just need the right bunch of people with

a dream to get them started. Kaiwaka

Can is working on some of these,

forming small project teams such as for

lighting, environmental clean up,

getting our welcome sculptures in place

on the town boundaries, getting

Kaiwaka Central cleaned up, accessible

and integrated.

I guess the point of this article is to

simply ask, “What would you like to

see?” quickly followed by another

question, “What are you prepared to do

about it?”

Kaiwaka Can would love to hear

from you or welcome you to join us,

third Wednesday every month,

5.30pm in the Archie Bull Hall.

Next meeting 18 March.

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

NEIGHBOUR'S DAY

Kaipara

District

Libraries

are

supporting

the

Neighbours

Day

philosophy by running a promotion that

encourages our customers/members to

do one small neighbourly thing during

the ten-day event, which runs from 27

March – 5 April this year. We have a

checklist of five actions (located

nearby on this page), and you only

have to check off one of the items to go

into the draw for a prize. All five

libraries across the district are taking

part in this promotion and we invite

you to take a checklist and take part.

Libraries are located in Dargaville,

Paparoa, Maungaturoto, Kaiwaka and

Mangawhai. For further information,

call your local library (that's us!) or

check our Facebook page (https://

www.facebook.com/Kaiwaka-Library-

291797071494/) for further details.

NLN LARGE PRINT AND AUDIO

BOOKS

As announced before, we are

withdrawing from the Northland

Libraries Network, where we have

been getting large print and audio

books for many years now. Over the

coming week or so we will be packing

up these books ready to send back to

the collection. We will still have large

print books on our shelves - our own

and others sourced from Dargaville

Public Library's extensive collection -

but we won't be carrying audio books

anymore.

AUDIO BOOKS

Still want to borrow audio books, even

though we're not stocking them on the

shelves anymore? There are thousands

of titles to choose from via our three

digital book suppliers, which you can

download to a computer, phone, or

tablet to listen to, and there are

physical audio books at Dargaville

Library that can be delivered to our

library for you. Contact me or come

into the library to talk to the library

volunteer on duty, if you need

assistance accessing these collections.

They can all be found by searching

Enterprise* and placing a request to

borrow from there when you're logged

in to your library account.

GRANTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

Are

you

looking

for

funding

opportunities, either for yourself or a

family member, or for an organisation

you're with? You can use your library

card to access Generosity NZ's vast

database of funding providers for free.

Go directly to their web site, and

Generosity will ask you to subscribe

and pay a fee - but go through the

portal at Enterprise* and log in with

your library card, and it's free. This is

your rates in action - make good use of

it. Contact me for more information if

you need assistance.

BOOK REVIEWS

Rather than tell you about something

I've read recently, I'm going to tell you

about some of the new books on our

shelves that I haven't had time to read

for myself yet.

The First: the Walsh brothers and the aeroplane

days of Edwardian New Zealand by Terry

Moyle. Does that name sound familiar to

you? Terry is a Kaiwaka local. He and his

wife Rosie have put together this beautiful

book outlining the early history of aviation

in NZ, and there's a strong presence of

Northland in the book. Loads of pictures,

both photos and images carefully crafted in

Terry and Rosie's distinctive style. Rental

Non-Fiction - 993 MOY.

Tales from a financial hot mess: the realest guide

to money… and how to have more of it, by

Frances Cook. "Are you stymied by debt?

Clueless about where your pay checks go?

Journalist, podcaster and reformed money

mess Frances Cook is here for you. Tales

from a Financial Hot Mess is the story of

Frances getting her money sh*t sorted.

With no idea where she was going wrong

and what to do about it, she took it upon

herself to learn from the best – and soon

found out that the fixes were right in front

of her the whole time. (She just needed to

wise up a bit.) Frances learned the hard

way, so you don’t have to." Frances is a

regular on radio in NZ, you may have heard

her talk there. Rental Non-Fiction - 332

COO.

The Sea Detective, by Mark Douglas-Home -

I bought this book plus the other three

books in this series on the recommendation

of one of our library members, who had

read one of them and wanted the rest. This

is a crime series based around Cal McGill, a

"part-time PhD oceanographer with a

macabre interest in floating corpses".

I'm looking forward to getting to these

books! See you in the library! ~Wendy

St John releases

Out of Hospital

Cardiac

Arrest

Annual

Report

2019

Research

undertaken by St

John shows there is a 13% chance of

survival from a cardiac arrest outside

of hospital.

St John Out of Hospital Cardiac

Arrest Report - this year’s study

reveals that while survival rates remain

constant, there is much more we can do

to save lives.

Each day in New Zealand St John

treats approximately five people for an

out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and in

76% of cases a bystander starts CPR,

but an AED (automated external

defibrillator) is only used 4% of the

time.

St John Medical Director Dr Tony

Smith says these statistics show that

while New Zealanders are becoming

aware of the importance of CPR, not

only are more AEDs needed in local

communities, but the public needs to

be comfortable using them.

Automated External Defibrillator

⚫

Anyone can use an AED

⚫

Know where the AEDs are in your

area

⚫

All you need to do is turn it on and

follow the simple instructions.

⚫

and have the confidence to use one.

For every minute that goes by without

CPR or using an AED the chance of

survival drops by 10

-15%.

The report shows

community

defibrillation

can

improve

cardiac

arrest survival by

over 35% and St

John is working

with

community

partners, such as

ASB, to get AEDs

into

remote

communities, including marae, to help

address this inequity.

Dr Smith explains that there are many

factors that go into cardiac arrest

survival.

“The chain of survival starts from

the bystander recognising someone is

in cardiac arrest, calling an

ambulance, starting CPR and using

an AED, and continues with

treatment on scene by skilled

ambulance officers, through to arrival

at hospital and ongoing treatment by

hospital clinicians.”

Dr Smith says more work and

resourcing is needed in order for St

John to improve cardiac arrest survival

statistics to a similar level of

comparable

ambulance

services

internationally.

“St John’s clinical processes continue

to be of a high standard but without

greater funding and resources we are

unable to make the same improvements

as other services. ”

Download the free St John mobile CPR

app for instructions on how to do CPR

Learn how to locate the nearest public

AED.

“Nonetheless the message is clear, if

someone is in cardiac arrest, call an

ambulance (111), start

CPR and use an AED.”
