OTAMATEA SHEEP DOG TRIALS 100!

LIBBY JONES – NORTHLAND

DISTRICT HEALTH BOARD

The Otamatea Sheep Dog Trial Club was to celebrate their

centennial on 3-5April this year. Sadly all dog trials have been

cancelled for the time being.

Their ﬁrst annual trials were held on Quaife brothers’ property

on Petley Road, Paparoa 15 - 16 April 1920. Approximately

25 dogs competed that ﬁrst year and the winner was Ned

Sloane with Glen.

The trials were a huge success with a concert and dance on the

ﬁrst night, and concluded with a banquet and smoke concert in

the Garrison Hall (Paparoa) on the second night. The event

was well reported in the "Northern Advocate" (l9 April 1920).

In his speech, H.McCarroll Esq (president) thanked the ladies

for catering. He stated that ‘

several ladies slept in the tent

overnight in order to protect the food. 75 people were expected,

but 200 actually attended, enabling them to raise 80 pounds for

the Nurse Cavell Hospital in Paparoa

.’

1921 and 1922 trials were at the racecourse at Matakohe. The

1923 trials were at Finlayson's "Wharepuke" property. ‘

If it

was wet a horse and buggy was used for transport, otherwise

Cliff Massey drove his mum's model A Ford. Cliff’s mother was

the caterer, providing a three course dinner in a large marquee’

In 1924, on the second morning of the trials a wild black boar

arrived on the side of the course. ‘

T.Finlayson (Ross's uncle)

shot the pig, and the almost spent bullet passed through the pig

and up the unfortunate dog's nose, killing it as well’

From 1925/26 until 1958 the trials were on Keith Montaine’s

property on Doctors Hill Road (his father was the local

doctor). Then to the Huband and Massey properties at Golden

Stairs Road. No trials were held in 1942 and 1943, but one day

trials were held during the war 1944 and 1945. By the late

1960's the trials were held on Trewin's property, now owned

by Luptons and have continued on this same property.

Ref.

Ries

In such a short period of time our health and staying

virus free has become our number one priority.

The impacts of the Coronavirus global pandemic

on our economy, schooling, work, travel, shopping, social

activities and everything else in between has been enormous

and unprecedented. In amongst it all, while we have seen a lot

of panic and some selfish behaviour, we have also seen a surge

of community spirit and neighbourhood support, acts of

kindness and goodwill.

We have the opportunity during this to think about what is

actually important in life and increase our focus on the things

that really matter – family, relationships, kindness and caring.

Focusing on the things you can control such as your hand

hygiene and physical distancing if getting essential supplies,

not the things that are out of your control, will reduce anxiety

and panic.

So, what are you doing to keep yourself well and calm?

While it is normal to sometimes feel overwhelmed and

worried, doing the things that you normally enjoy is important

right now too. Take a moment to admire the sunset, or sunrise;

listen to your favourite music; sing along loudly; go for a

walk, do some gardening; give yourself time out from the rest

of your household; give your friends a call, use Skype or

FaceTime to see their faces; check out is your neighbours need

anything. Research has shown that these things can build

resilience, boost your wellbeing and lower your risk of

developing mental health problems.

The Northland DHB as a central player for our area has been

working overtime to cope with the changing situation and to

keep our community safe and well, as well as supporting our

health care workers who are at the forefront of the crisis. Other

work is getting put aside while the focus is rightly on dealing

with the rapidly changing situation day by day. Sick people are

still being cared for and kept separate from any COVID-19

related patients.

New Zealand has faced a number of crises over the last year

which have impacted on health, including in Northland the

measles and meningococcal outbreaks. While nothing has been

like this, DHBs know about dealing with crises and

emergencies, and Northland has had an Incident Management

team set up for several weeks.

It is up to all of us now to keep ourselves and our household

bubble safe and well and keep Socially connecting with each

other while we ‘Physically distance’.

Stay well, Libby Jones hames.jones@xtra.co.nz 021 2080093

KAIPARA CIVIL

DEFENCE

You're used to me writing here

regularly from Kaiwaka Library, but

as some of you know, I wear a few

hats in our community. A new one as

of last week is that I am managing a

Facebook page for Civil Defence in

the Kaipara District, with the blessing of the Civil Defence

Northland staff. Actually, it was their idea, and I agreed to

do it.

Go to https://www.facebook.com/Kaipara-Civil-Defence

-1420330038202900/ or search online for 'Kaipara Civil

Defence' to find it. You don't need a Facebook account

to view that page, so don't be put off if you've not gone

there before.

On that page I'm posting items relating to Civil Defence in

our district, especially about the Covid-19 pandemic at the

moment, but also about anything else that relates to Civil

Defence, including fire, tsunami, earthquakes, storms, and

the like.

But, if you want to get your information straight from the

horse's mouth, so to speak, the official government web

site for the pandemic is at https://covid19.govt.nz/

There's also a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/

UniteAgainstCovid19/ - that's currently my first port of call

each day to see what is new.

Keep yourself informed from reliable sources - you won't

get any urban legends or hoaxes at any of the links I've

mentioned here, unless it's to

debunk them.

Stay safe and healthy,

Nga mihi.,

changes that will be happening with

our church in regard to this response.

notice. Over the next 4 weeks we have

been told to stay at home and only go

out to get the essential resources.

teachings so keep an eye out for details

on both pages. There will be regular

updates made to our church family

regarding any changes.

I want to encourage everyone please

keep praying for our country, for our

leaders to come up with great solutions

for this virus pandemic to cease and

things to come back better than

normal, stabilization of our economy

for workers, and the business that will

be effected.

Pray for the stability of our nations

essential needs and that resources

would be made available to all families

and communities. Pray for people to

look out for the most vulnerable, our

elderly, and those that work within

your communities to keep your area

safe. Pray to follow the guidelines that

are set so that we all can stay safe and

secure.

To use this time wisely. Pray for our

nation to turn back to God in humility

and prayer. Let It be a time where we

stay close as family to build up

stronger relationships with each other.

Get creative with how you can most

effectively use your time with each

other.

Reflect reset revise refine refire your

life for Christ.

“Stay in your own bubble.”

These

are the words of the Prime Minister to

everyone as we begin the month-long

lockdown. Strange times, difficult

times but also times that create some

opportunities too.

Kaiwaka Can last met a couple of

weeks back. Nothing new or startling

at our meeting as we continue to work

towards a footbridge by Oneriri Road,

an expanded central and community

commercial centre and generally work

towards a more vibrant and connected

Kaiwaka. Oops almost forgot. A

couple of our members are working on

the Kaiwaka Wikipedia page to try and

bring it up to present realities.

But I have been reflecting on some of

the advice given to help us through

lockdown.

One of the things recommended was

declutter. Now most of us think in

terms of doing something about that

cupboard that has been crammed full

for years, or sort through our clothes to

discard those way outdated items we

have just left on their hangers.

But if we apply it to our little township,

one way of decluttering is to notice the

areas that could be tidied up, the weeds

clear, little patches of land through the

town put to maximum use. We

currently have a very healthy crop of

tree privet, tradescantia (the carpet that

grows very quickly on unused space),

pampas grass and the rest. Why don’t

you make your own list of weeds we

could tackle? We are still allowed out

for a walk and fresh air, to a very

limited number of spaces. Kaiwaka is

hardly overloaded with parks and

walking tracks and biking along State

Highway One tends to increase

adrenalin. But the sports ground is

there, always a beautiful and peaceful

place for a walk. Can I suggest that as

we walk, carefully sticking to our own

bubble, we dream of what Kaiwaka

could be in terms of green spaces,

walking and cycling trails and

improved civic amenities. It is only

when we dare to dream about what

might be that we set in motion the

work required to bring them into

reality.

Shopping is now almost non-existent

apart from the Four Square and the

dairy. That frees us from travel

to larger centres to shop, reduces our

petrol bill and gives us more time for

other things. I want to give a shout out

especially to Jaques Four Square and

the staff for the magnificent job they

are doing to keep us in vital supplies.

We have also been asked to look out

for our neighbours to see if they have

problems coping. We still have phones,

computers, internet making it easy to

get in touch with others. Civil Defence

has appointed a coordinator to help us

respond to those not coping or finding

things tough. The over 70’s in

particular are more likely to find

themselves in trouble.

So, this time might be down time, but it

doesn’t have to be out time. It is catch

up time, clean up time, relax time,

reach out to others time and hopefully

virus free time for us all.

From Derek Christensen’s bubble to your

bubble on behalf of Kaiwaka Can

“THE OLD RUGGED CROSS”

“The Old Rugged Cross” is a hymn

written in 1912 by evangelist and

song-leader George Bennard.

On a hill far away, stood an old

rugged Cross

The emblem of suff'ring and shame

And I love that old Cross where the

dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain

Chorus

So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged Cross

And exchange it some day for a

crown

Oh, that old rugged Cross so

despised by the world

Has a wondrous attraction for me

For the dear Lamb of God, left His

Glory above

To bear it to dark Calvary

Chorus

In the old rugged Cross, stain'd with

blood so divine

A wondrous beauty I see

For ’twas on that old cross Jesus

suffered and died

To pardon and sanctify me

Chorus

To the old rugged Cross, I will ever

be true

Its shame and reproach gladly bear

Then He'll call me some day to my

home far away

Where His glory forever I'll share

Chorus

‘Behold, they have rejected the word of

the Lord; so what wisdom do they

have?’ Jeremiah 8:9 NKJV

You will never understand the message

of the cross or receive the benefits of

salvation that come from the cross,

until you first kneel at the cross and

receive Jesus Christ as your personal

Saviour.

The story is told of a great preacher

who was touring Italy. A friend told

him to go to a certain village and see a

painting of the crucifixion of Christ.

‘What is it like?’ he asked. His friend

said, ‘Never mind what it is like. I

want you to see it. Please promise me

you will.’ He replied, ‘I will.’ He went

to the village and visited the chapel

where the painting was. The old

caretaker said, ‘You’ve come to see the

painting, haven’t you?’

He said, ‘Why, yes I have.’ The

caretaker responded, ‘Follow me.’ The

great preacher was not prepared for

what he was about to see. instead of a

beautiful masterpiece, the painting

seemed all out of proportion and didn’t

make sense. ‘I don’t understand this

painting,’ he said. The caretaker

replied, ‘Come closer.’ He did. The

caretaker said, ‘Get lower.’ He did.

Finally, as he was kneeling at the foot

of the cross, he looked up and saw the

power and beauty of the painting and

was reduced to tears.

It’s only when you lay aside your

pride, preconceived notions and

intellectual approach, and humble

yourself, that the message of the cross

transforms you.

‘For the message of the cross is

foolishness to those who are perishing,

but to us who are being saved it is the

power of God‘ (1 Corinthians 1:18

NKJV).

KAIWAKA

SCHOOL

The past month has seen our Club

involved in a number of different

activities as we have been involved

with Rotary Clubs from India, the

Orewa-Millwater Satellite club and a

working bee in Nikau Grove.

District 3131 India

In the middle of February several

Rotarians travelled to Paparoa with the

Driver

Mentoring

Car

and

refreshments, see photo, to meet 22

Rotarians and partners from 12 Clubs

in District 3131 India who were taking

part in a car rally through the length of

NZ. They had previously completed a

rally through Nepal and Bhutan (I hope

they found our roads better than those,

but sometimes I wonder.) This was a

great chance to talk to Rotarians from

another part of the world and learn

more about what they were doing.

Orewa-Millwater Satellite

At a tea meeting early in February our

Assistant Governor, District Trainer

and two others from Millwater Satellite

visited our club. This club has more

fundraising opportunities than we do

but is also involved in community

service. As a result of this visit, we

visited Silverdale and took part in a

pool tournament which was a

fundraiser for them. This was a great

way to fellowship with Rotarians from

various parts of the Shore. Then in

early March, several members of their

club joined us in Nikau Grove to

construct a bridge over the kauri tree

roots. Not only was it a great chance to

work together on a common goal but

also to fellowship afterwards. We had a

pleasant surprise when our District

Governor and his wife turned up. We

are also grateful to Barnbuilders for

donating the timber for this project. We

still have some finishing touches to do

but, in the end, we will have protected

one of our iconic trees.

Polio

Some good news in relation to Polio

from our incoming President, Rodney.

Nigeria is very close to becoming Wild

polio virus free and after much

negotiation, the vaccination teams have

permission from the Taleban to take

the vaccine to both Pakistan and

Afghanistan so the youngsters in these

areas can be protected.

Rotary Youth Driver Awareness

Once again, we have been able to

provide financial support for students

from Otamatea to attend RYDA. This

driving academy takes place over one

day and is aimed at making our 16-year

olds more aware of things they need to

watch out for on the roads and the

consequences of making the wrong

choice. Six modules provide some

thought-provoking information. Thank

you also to Roadsafe Northland (one of

our sponsors for Driver Mentoring) for

making this available to students from

throughout Northland.

Welcome to the strange new world of

Covid-19. The physical library is, of

course, closed while the country is in

lockdown, but there's still plenty on

offer here...

Join the library

It's not too late to sign up to the library!

Go to Enterprise* and click on the

button to join. Select a digital-only

membership (not adult or junior), and

you'll be able to use your new

membership straight away with our

digital collections. If you have

problems signing up, get in touch with

me for help.

Don't forget that the kids can have their

own library accounts - sign them up to

a digital membership too so they can

use their own card for their own

reading materials.

If you want to turn your digital-only

membership into a physical library

card and borrow items from our

shelves later on when life returns to

normal, bring some ID into the library

when we're open and we can do that

for you. Kids don't need to provide ID.

Get in touch

If you need help with library things

during the lockdown, you can contact

me or the staff at Dargaville Library.

Call Dargaville on their free number

0800 532 542 - the staff are all

working from home during the

lockdown, and ready and willing to

help across the district.

As I type this on Thursday afternoon,

I'm still waiting for our landline at

Kaiwaka Library to be diverted to my

mobile so I can answer calls. If you

phone the library and get no answer,

please feel free to call me at home -

431 2725 - or call/text my mobile - 027

480 6275. Or send me a message

through Facebook, either to my

personal page or the library one

(https://www.facebook.com/Kaiwaka-

Library-291797071494/).

Keep your library books at

home

If you have library books issued to you

at the moment, please keep them at

home until the library is open again.

All due dates will be extended, and

charges waived. If you receive an

automated reminder about an overdue,

please ignore it.

Books that have been returned while

we've been closed for Covid-19 won't

be processed in the computer until we

open again, so don't worry if you're

sure you returned something but it's

still showing as issued to you - it will

go through when we can do that again.

Use our digital library

We have thousands of eBooks and

eAudiobooks from our three suppliers,

as well as about 4500 newspapers and

magazines from around the world at

PressReader.com, all available for free

with your library card. See the button

for eBooks and eAudiobooks at

Enterprise* for information about

getting started.

Keep up with the library's

news

You can now keep up with our news at

Enterprise*, without any need to go to

Facebook where it was originally

posted. Click on the green button for

Kaiwaka down the right-hand side of

the page, and you'll see our Facebook

feed in the middle of the page. The

most recent post is at the top and scroll

down to see older posts. I'm posting

information about activities for kids,

etc, while we're on lockdown, as well

as library news and information.

JP Service Centre

From the JP web site: "All Justices of

the Peace services are suspended due

to the lockdown. This includes private

visits to Justices and all Service Desks.

Many regulatory requirements have

changed at this time. Please refer to the

agency requesting your documents to

confirm their requirements." (http://

justiceofthepeace.org.nz/)

When the library opens again, I will be

available as a JP at the library once

more. In the meantime, please do not

ask - you will be turned away.

Stay safe and healthy! ~Wendy

Skinny Jump: It's cheap broadband

via this mobile network, and the

modem will be delivered to you.

Perfect while you're stuck at home, but

of course it's only going to be seen by

those who are already online, so it

would be great if people could pass it

on to their friends who aren't currently

online or use their expensive phone

data to get online

Staying home the first lockdown day, I

cored tamarillos for chutney and

listening on repeat to an 80s cd for the

first time which I was gifted some years

back ...

If the virus lockdown has taught

anything, it’s that mankind is not on

top. The news of an outbreak in China

was no surprise, say scientists, and the

scale of disruption no surprise to them

either.

However, it is to most of us when it

affects us. Even if some need a knock on

the car window to remind them that

we’re all in this together.

People, particularly the elderly and frail,

have been reducing contact, having

nightmares and buying guns to protect

themselves from a force without a face.

Yet neighbours are rallying, offering

supplies with kind words and good cheer.

Splintered media

The media in all its splintered glory is

giving people both distraction and

information. There have been countless

words of advice on the best films/shows/

series to watch during the lockdown.

Programme: normal. Ads blare even

when we can’t go buy.

Sure we have jobs to do, games to play,

people to consider and assist, but being

able to understand and not panic is

bigger.

I think we all should go into StudyLink

https://www.studylink.govt.nz along with

the kids.

Viral space

So far what I’ve learned is that there are

more viruses on Earth than stars in the

sky.

Before I didn’t know bacteria from

archaea or which viruses were phages.

Thanks to Wikipedia and its editorial

teams, there is a glimmering idea.

So many are the phages apparently that

they’re reckoned at 10 to the power of 31

which

10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10x

10 and so on, a very big number (and

that's only an estimate). One of these

could mutate at any time.

One bacterium that has done so down the

ages - and three times at least in recent

history - is Yersinia pestis, the plague

microbe, which attacks the human lymph

system as well as slaughtering fleas, rats

and creatures like prairie dogs on its way.

These are long and fact-filled entries on

the online encyclopaedia.

The entry on Covid-19 is smaller.

Kansas killer

Unlike the H1N1 virus which arose in

Kansas in the USA in 1918 and resulted

in 9000 deaths in NZ over two months

<https://nzhistory.govt.nz/keyword/

influenza>, we know little of

Covid-19. It was mislabelled

'Spanish flu' rather than Kansas flu

because Spain’s government took

public health steps to stop its

rampage. Governments implicated

in the 1914-18 inter-colonial

conflict made light of it and the

virus which probably jumped from

birds wrought havoc. Between 17

and 50 million or more died of it,

more than from the bullet battles.

"In New Zealand, the flu killed an

estimated 6,400 Pakeha and 2,500

indigenous Maori in six weeks, with

Māori dying at eight times the rate of

Pakeha." All this and more on Wikipedia

this week.

London lesson

Through reading online news sources,

my elbow was jogged to read ‘A Journal

of the Plague Year’, in London. So

before the Thursday Lockdown here I’d

read how most of the population was

thrown out of work, how people laughed

about the plague until it came to their

street and how some, but not all, took

precautions. Much of what's described

seems crazy in hindsight.

Some succumbed, some recovered, some

were immune. Pastors preached, people

raved.

There was no assistance bar charity and

those who fled could carry disease since

no one knew the cause.

Defoe’s informant didn’t know. Defoe

didn’t either 60 years after. The source

spoke of 'contagion', 'foul air', 'hysteria'

not about the rat flea.

Only in recent times have people

seriously received advice that when rats

die in numbers, plague is close behind.

Kindle tips

I read journo Defoe’s book on Kindle

where notes can be highlighted for

reference. Didn’t know that before either.

Pretty useful.

I've been very grateful to world media.

There’s radio over the air and online,

there are pictures through the internet

and television, and reference books from

the shop and Kaiwaka library.

Currently, I have ‘Hard Times’ by

Charles Dickens with a bunch of

characters unknown to me. Gradgrind is

a rigid philosopher, Mrs Gradgrind a

mother who won’t listen and Bounderby

an unscrupulous and unkind factory

owner. Two of the Gradgrind kids are

called Adams Smith and Malthus after

ancient theorists still influential today.

Dickens serialised this for his printed

weekly in the 1850s but I’d never read

beyond his mainliners like ‘Great

Expectations’ and ‘Oliver Twist’.

So far my main message from ‘Hard

Times’ is don’t grind down the kids, they

need to have fun.

Our government seems to have got that.

We can also be kind to one another as we

are calm and considerate to all.

As I am active outdoors and entertained

indoors I think of the ethical saying: "Do

unto others." "Love thy Neighbour" and

"As above, so below." are also useful

considerations
