ABOUT TOWN



ANZAC 2020 has been a special day to remember; many folk missed not

being able to gather at our local Hakaru RSA, but they certainly didn't forget the

Anzacs. Why is The Last Post called the Last Post?



Our local garden club members made beautiful wreaths for their online

competition; others learnt how to play the national anthem on their washing

machine!



Thank you to our all our Bugle advertisers. The advertisements are as usual -

please phone them first as many are essential services and there are changes as

we go into Level 3



At COVID-19 Level 3care and help is still needed. See the articles from Kates

Place, Otamatea Community Services and The Kaiwaka Revival Church for

further assistance.



Page 19 from our physio Amy - Super 7 exercises are simple but worth the

time to keep in shape



Birthday wishes to Doug Leslie and Bill Jaques who have both turned 88 in

the last month! Just quietly , are they the oldest Kaiwaka residents?



Just seen in a recent Lucky Break magazine - the story and pics of Andrea

Clarke and how Stevie Nicks inspired her to start her own tribute band.



Rubbish and Recycling - great to know the Hakaru Transfer Station on

Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Rd will open 28 April (see advert on page 3)



KSA news page 11 - the walking path is highlighted in the aerial view of the

Venture; thank you Mark O for the painted activities on this path.



Kaiwaka Bugle No. 8 is online at www.kaiwaka.co.nz and there is a small

run in print for our local. Please email your photos, adverts, news, reports as

before

MESSAGE FROM KAIWAKA PHYSIO:

Under level 3 we have been advised that physio

clinics will essentially remain closed. This is because

of the close contact physio can involve. I can only

see people if an emergency i.e. life or serious injury

threatening. Even then I have to register that I am

seeing you and don full PPE.

However, I can still offer telehealth / online video

consults. Give me a call or message me on

COMMUNITY

SERVICES

Greetings everyone, we hope you have

found time to do things around the

house while locked down. “It’s like

‘glide time” one person said - they rise

later – breakfast is leisurely, they can

take time to smell the flowers etc.

So, there are positives.

There are inconveniences too, but it’s

amazing what we can do when we

must - and it is necessary!

While the Community House doors are

closed it doesn’t mean we have

stopped. Our services are all still up

and running and can be accessed:

Phone 09 431 9080,

Email reception@otamateacs.org.nz

or our website, to be put in touch with

the service you require.

can help with general support.

For

online or phone counselling

call 0275 462 641 to arrange an

appointment.

The

Parent

Coach,

Financial

Mentor, senior support, addiction

support services can be accessed by

leaving a message on the landline 09

431 9080 and you will be contacted.

Email-tree

We have an

email-tree

going where

seniors are called on a regular basis to

ask if they are okay and if there is

anything needed. This is much

appreciated by all who say they look

forward to the next call.

This is another way our services may

be accessed. If you are not on our list

and would like to be called, please

leave a message on 09 431 9080 and

It’s well worth a look and may help

those who are struggling with the

current health situation.

Our congratulations to all the

wonderful essential services who have

kept things going and looking after

everyone – plus the health workers

involved in caring for the sick. A very

special thank you to the brilliant

service provided by the local stores

who have taken extra special care to

ensure their customers are well

protected while shopping for essentials.

The Maungaturoto and Kaiwaka Four

Square as well as Mangawhai have all

made supreme efforts to provide the

very best service possible. We are

incredibly fortunate to have these

dedicated operators of our local 4

Comments

from

Chris

Jackson, Cancer Society Medical

Director and Oncologist:



Cancer hasn’t stopped for COVID-

19, but the way in which people seek

and receive care for cancer has

changed a lot since the level 4

lockdown.



Despite the changes in service

delivery, the Cancer Control Agency

has been very clear that people with a

high suspicion of cancer, or people

with cancer who require immediate

treatment, should still receive those

tests and treatments.



The level 4 lockdown has been an

unprecedented event. It happened with

unparalleled speed and resulted in

some non-life-threatening hospital

work being immediately deferred.



Since that time the Cancer Control

Agency (working with DHBs and

clinicians) has been working through

what can and can’t be done during the

stages of lockdown. More and more

hospital work is now available.



Patients up and down the country

have been affected by these disruptions

and

have

been

incredibly

understanding and patient while this

work has been done.

People who have symptoms or signs of

cancer, or who are concerned that their

existing cancer is worsening during the

level 4 and then level 3 lockdown

should still be able to access

healthcare. People should contact their

own GP in the first instance, or if they

have an assigned cancer specialist, talk

with them. While some appointments

may be done by telephone or

videoconference, essential scans and

treatments should still be going ahead.

Some treatments that heavily suppress

the immune system may be deferred if

it is in people’s best interests to have

the treatments delayed due to the risks

of COVID-19. These will be discussed

with patients individually.

Despite losing significant funding due

to cancellation of major fundraising

events, the Cancer Society has

redesigned its services to support

people

remotely

throughout

the

lockdown, the cancer society nurses are

still available to talk to.

The Cancer Society remains here to

help with a fully staffed 0800 cancer

information line (0800 226 237) that

people can call and discuss any

concerns or questions they may have.

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSN

trip

down

memory

lane:

Hi everyone, I

hope you are

all safe and

well

inside

your bubbles.

There

nothing

happening at

the KSA at

this time, so

let’s take a

stroll

down

memory lane

and look back

at some past

events.

Dave

Culham

Taniwha

Shield Tournament, July

2014

Although the skies are overcast in this

photo, they give no hint of the

horrendous weather bomb which was

about to hit that afternoon - and go for

the next 4 days!

Power cuts on the first evening meant

the jersey washers had to hand-wash

the mud-caked jerseys, shorts and

socks by candlelight and dry them by

the fire. Day 2 of the tournament saw

the gale force winds topple two trucks

south of Kaiwaka causing a road

closure which meant spectators and

volunteers couldn’t get to the KSA.

The KSA van which was being used to

shuttle spectators from the pub carpark

to the grounds had a window smashed

by the wind. Day 3 and 4 we had to

transfer the matches to Wellsford

Rugby Club to try to give our water-

logged fields a chance to recover. The

incessant rain ruined the tournament

photographer’s

camera

and

communications were hampered by the

storm knocking out mobile networks.

But despite all these setbacks, the

tournament ran smoothly, and the boys

just enjoyed playing rugby!

The fifth and final day was played in

sunshine and the huge crowd enjoyed

the closely fought final between the

Whangarei Grizzlies and Rodney/

Otamatea with the Grizzlies winning

the coveted shield. Grassroots TV

covered the match and caught the

emotion on the boys’ faces when the

final whistle blew.

Trying to run a Northland rugby 5-day

tournament during a massive weather

bomb gave me a few grey hairs! But

seeing how everyone worked together

to overcome all the hurdles that the

weather was throwing at us, meant that

this event is the one that I am most

proud of.

Meet

The

Neighbours,

August 2015

As we had noticed a big influx of

newcomers to our town, we decided to

organise a Meet The

Neighbours event, to offer an

opportunity for people to meet others

and to also showcase the sporting and

recreational facilities that the KSA

offers. A large crowd turned up and

were entertained by some of our

affiliated club’s activities eg: Kempo

demonstration, exhibition squash and

badminton

matches,

tennis

ball

machine, JMB pass-the-ballathon, Tai

Illuminate, December 2018

The last day of 2018 saw over 1,200

Scouting 14-18-year olds from New

Zealand and around the world descend

upon the KSA for 10 days of

adventure, challenges and fun.

The first half of Illuminate was the

Expedition Phase – buses and vans

poured in and out of our carparks each

day, taking the teenagers to places

from Waitomo in the south through to

Cape Reinga. Activities taken up by

the teens ranged from photography,

caving, surfing, cooking and sailing,

through to rally driving, skydiving,

kayaking, horse riding and much more.

The second half of Illuminate was

based at the KSA with on-site

activities. Some of the activities that

were on offer: mechanical bull riding,

leatherwork, playing snooker, rock

climbing, escape rooms, ice skating,

giant board games, drone racing,

archery tag, air hockey, foosball,

bubble

soccer,

music

concerts,

inflatables, swimming, water slide,

rover cafe plus movies!

Unrecognisable

The KSA was almost unrecognisable

during Illuminate – our pavilion was

turned into an internet cafe, our

changing rooms were transformed into

Escape Rooms, our grandstand was

extended to become an entertainment

stage, shipping containers were bought

in and converted to toilet blocks, our

number

field

plus

our

neighbour's paddock was a sea of

tents, and there was a huge marque

over our tennis courts which served as

the dining hall, churning out 3,600

meals a day.

We were so pleased to host this

international event, putting little ol’

Kaiwaka on the world map. By all

accounts, the teenagers had an absolute

blast!

MAUNGATUROTO & DISTRICTS ROTARY

What a difference a month makes.

Who would have guessed at the start of

the year the major disruption that

Covid 19 was going to cause

throughout the world, even affecting us

in NZ who are usually isolated from

many things?

ositives

I feel for the people who have lost

loved ones during the past month and

for those who have been made

redundant. However, during this last

month there have been a number of

positive outcomes, both within Rotary

and within the community. I am sure

many of you, while being challenged in

ways that you had not thought of

previously, will agree with me.

I feel fortunate that I live in a rural area

– plenty of places to go walking

without bursting my bubble (and

incredible surroundings to appreciate in

the process.) I am also grateful for the

support of friends who help me

maintain my bubble, but also ensure

that I do not feel isolated.

You are all precious. And thinking of

the ways our supermarkets have tried

to keep shelves stocked, even against

the odds. The fact that they will take on

-line (whether by phone or email)

orders and then deliver to those who

should not be out and about. You are

awesome.

Thank you to those of you who offered

to help when I called upon you for

support with my Civil Defence hat on.

Personal challenges

And as for personal challenges. I had

never heard of Zoom three weeks ago,

but in that time, I not only have it on

my computer but have been able to

take part in three meetings and two

Webinairs. It is so much better than an

email when you can see the faces of

those you are talking to. I have also

started an e-Learning module through

Victim Support.

Rotary Online

Where does Rotary fit into all of this?

Well, true enough, we have not been

able to have physical meetings, but we

are keeping in touch. The wonders of

technology have linked our club with

approximately 150 clubs in Australia,

and we can join any one of their on-

line meetings. Closer to home, we have

been able to join the Orewa/Millwater

club with an on-line meeting. (These

were the folk who came and

helped us with the bridge over

the kauri tree roots in Nikau Grove and

want to be involved in future projects

we undertake.) The meeting saw them

induct a new Rotarian (possibly the

first in the world to happen on-line.).

They also spoke of the food parcels

that they are packing and delivering. I

know some of our Rotarians have been

helping out in this way as well.

Unfortunately,

the

vagaries

technology shortened my involvement

with this meeting because of a power

cut – makes me realize how dependent

we are on a consistent supply.

Kahoot Quiz

However, on

Friday night

I was able to

join about 25

people who

were

involved in a

Kahoot quiz which was run by this

club. This was a fundraiser and the

evening produced almost three quarters

of the cost of an Emergency response

kit ($450 was raised.) They have

already funded two of these kits this

year. They provide basic provisions

that are sent to disaster areas anywhere

in the world. Even though I finished

well down the field it was a fun way to

be involved with others at this time of

uncertainty. This involvement has

made me really appreciate what it

means to be part of the global

organisation which is Rotary.

Vanuatu Conference

Unfortunately, our District conference

was to be held in Vanuatu in late April.

This is the second time such an event

in this area has had to be cancelled.

Missing out on the Conference is one

thing, but many Rotarians were going

to extend their stay to help assist the

people of that country in reconstructing

their infrastructure. (A need which is

much greater since the last cyclone.)

By the time you read this we will

hopefully climbing back down the

Alert level Ladder.

Wherever you are and whatever your

circumstance, keep safe and take care

of each other and be mindful of those

around you who even when we get

back to “normal” may still need your

support. ~Eileen

Coping with Covid-19!

Sheep and horses make good mowers when the diesel tractor is in

for service. It has also been good for the garden to have a compost

supply close by. The electric tape and pigtails have been put to

good use. Now looking forward to getting the machine back to

tidy the edges. HP.

Library is still closed

The library will remain closed during

Alert Level 3. We are not allowed to

open our doors at this time, nor start

distributing books out to our members.

Digital Library is open

Every library member has free access

to our digital collection - thousands of

eBooks,

eAudiobooks,

and

eMagazines. Go to Enterprise* and

click on the green button "eBooks and

eAudio" to get started.

If you need help with your PIN, or any

other problem with these services,

please contact Dargaville Library on

0800 532 542 for assistance.

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 have been extended, and

charges waived.

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.

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

the team at Dargaville 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.

Cheap broadband at home

Dargaville Library has partnered with

Skinny Jump and Stepping Up to help

get broadband into households without

internet. This is a low-cost prepaid

broadband service for eligible Kiwi

homes. It costs from $5 per month, has

no contract, no credit checks, and they

provide a free modem with the first

30GB of data free. To sign up, see this

column in the last Bugle (http://

www.kaiwaka.co.nz/Bugle/) or contact

Dargaville Library. If you have friends

or family in the district who aren't

online and could make use of this,

please tell them about it and give them

the Dargaville Library phone number -

0800 532 542.

Stay safe and healthy! ~Wendy
