AROUND KAIWAKA
3 May 1820 saw the first bullock
drawn plough in Kerikeri; a hundred
years later the Coates bullock team
(photo left) was at work at Pukekaroro.
Here is a story from *APB Watson’s
book ‘Hill of the Sea Bird’ Page 213:
“On a hot January day in the mid-nineteen
twenties, Edward Coates was on that road,
the last stage of the carry to the
backcountry shed. Inside the first gate he
greased all four axles, though only the one
rear wheel was calling for it. The bullocks
in their ponderous, steady way, made light
of the work, and followed the excellent
track picked out by the leaders, Prince and
Dandy. Soon they were at the start of the
longest curve on the entire road, and, when
it began to narrow towards its end, and the
team constantly prodded into hugging the
inside bank, Edward crossed over to the off
side. With a heavy load such as this behind
them, the tendency is for the bullocks to
work their way outwards, but this was of
little consequence here — until the edge
gave way. The off front wheel dipped
immediately, the wagon slewed, and the
rearmost bullocks scrabbled and scuffled in
vain against the sideways press of the pole.
Three things were in their favour. The
massive polers were forced down against
the rough base of a giant tree fern growing
strongly three feet below. It held firm; and
the risk of choking was eased, if only
temporarily, when the laden sacks, all two
hundred of them, slid from the deck and
tumbled end over end down the slope.
Much of the dead weight of the dangling
wagon was taken by the shoulders of the
rest of the team standing firm on the
roadway above.
Edward seemed in no great hurry. He sat
on a stump, pipe unlit in his left hand, and
rested his head on his arm. Within seconds,
it seemed, he leapt to his feet purposefully,
grabbed the block and wire attached at the
front of the wagon, hooked it by its chain
to a stump opposite, attached one end of
the wire to the Dee of the wagon pole,
unhooked the first four pairs of bullocks,
and drove them quickly back down the
road, trailing the wire until the kinks
straightened, then moved it forward a
further yard. The bullocks would hold the
tension until new orders were given. He
returned to the two polers, unhooked the
slackened chain, and the two pairs on the
road helped massive Punch and Ben to
scramble up and regain the positions from
which they had been so roughly swept. Ben
had a long red scratch down the inside of
his right leg, but both bullocks moved quite
freely. They had not been cramped long
enough to stiffen them.
It was certain that the bullocks down the
road had never previously been called on
to back up over such a distance, as they
were now required to do; yet Edward was
in complete control of this prolonged and
odd manoeuvre, which was feasible, and
orderly, because the team was under
constant tension throughout. The empty
wagon was by this means eased down the
steep slope, the vertical and horizontal
movements in exact correspondence. Near
the extremity of the wire rope, the wagon,
in an unscheduled gesture, swivelled round
to come to rest, parallel to the creek, and
just above it. Within a week it was back on
the road, a quarter of a mile ahead of where
it had left it; and the longest job was the
recovery of the basic slag by packhorses,
two bags at a time.”

Invitation to Town Centre Businesses
in Kaiwaka to join Zoom Conference
with Kaipara District Council
Town Centre businesses collectively make up the
heart of our towns across the district. The Kaipara
Mayor’s Taskforce for Economic Support and
Recovery (www.kaipara.govt.nz/taskforce) is hosting
a series of meetings with local town centre businesses
on the online meeting platform Zoom.
We invite you to join us (on Zoom) on Thursday 14
May at 7pm to share your experiences as a town
centre business in Kaiwaka during the Covid 19
lockdown and what recovery might look like for you.
The agenda is very open and will be led by you and
your fellow business owners and operators. But to
guide your thinking leading up to the meeting and to
generate some early ideas for the discussion we
would be grateful if you were able to complete this
very short survey:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VYW7CPD
From Council you can expect to see the Mayor Jason
Smith, Deputy Mayor Anna Curnow and local ward
Councillors.
The intention is to continue to host these sessions for
as long as they are useful. We also envisage this
being a way to connect you with agencies who can do
more to support and inform you. But how this
unfolds will be entirely guided by you and what your
community wants.
Kaiwaka Can will be distributing the full
announcement and details on the Zoom link early
next week. We encourage you to watch the video clip
about the taskforce on the site above. For more
information you may contact either the Task Force.
NB. If you are unable to attend the session at this
time, please feel free to drop any of us a line to share
your thoughts. Our contact details can be found here:

WEATHER
Welcome to our last month of Autumn
for 2020. It was reasonable and at last
we got some well needed rain for the
water tanks. There is still a lot needed
as with the families at home through
this Covid 19 more water is getting
used out of the water tanks. I notice the
pastures have greened up a lot. Passing
the waterfall on the Brynderwyn on
Monday we noticed a good trickle
coming down compared to March
where it was all but dried up. No, we
were not breaking the Covid rule as I
had a (necessary) health appointment.
I do hope you are sticking to the rules.
The sooner everyone behaves the
sooner we will be out of it. We were
given some yummy mushrooms in
April.
The weather was not too bad for April.
Some beautiful days - some cold
miserable days. Not a lot of sun
sometimes - some cold blustery windy
days and those welcome days of rain.
There were a few April Showers round
about.
April 2020 at our house we had 82mm
rain and 2019 we 105mm.
The first 4 months of 2020 we had
185mm rain and 2019 we had 260mm.
Wow that is 80mm down already on
last year.
Our driest April since 1987 was 2005
with 28mm and the wettest was 2017
with 260mm.
Our driest first 4 months since 1987
was 1987 with 69mm and the wettest
was 2017 with 725mm.
We had rain on 20 days in April this
year and 2019 we also had rain on 10
days. (Interesting to see both March
and April this year we had 82mm both
months).
No reports of shooting season this year
as this report has gone to print being as
shooting season opened a week late
due to Covid.
Please take care and Do Not Be Too
Macho to not wear a mask at least and
remember to wishy washy those hands
properly. Bev.

Kia ora koutou,
Like me, I am sure you have followed with
interest the announcements made by the Prime Minister.
It is reassuring to hear how well our country has done at minimising the impacts
of COVID-19. Alert Levels 4 and 3 have not been easy and I thank you for your
ongoing support for the work we are doing.
Today, the Prime Minister advised that in Alert Level 2 schools are safe
environments for children, young people and staff and that additional public
health control measures are in place to prevent the spread of disease and to
support contact tracing.
The good news is that when we are able to, we will be ready to welcome all
students and staff back to our school site.
The key Public Health approach is to minimise the risk that someone gets
infected in the first place, and second to ensure we can identify and contact
anyone who has been in close contact with a person, if someone in a school is
infected.
As we have done in Alert Level 3, you can be assured that in Alert Level 2 we
will know who is at school, who our staff and students have been in close
contact with and take appropriate measures to keep everyone safe.
Physical distancing is a good precaution to prevent the spread of disease. We do
however know it is challenging in schools, so good hygiene practices and
regular cleaning are even more important here. This includes staff and students
coughing into their elbows, handwashing and drying and regular cleaning of
commonly touched surfaces.
Under Alert Level 2, we advise any students and staff to stay at home if they are
sick, and we will send anyone home immediately if they show any symptoms.
Our school has safe and sensible practices to maintain the health and safety of
everyone on the school site. As described by Dr Payinda in his NZ Herald
article, “Covid’s not measles or chickenpox, it doesn’t hang in the air for hours
waiting to infect passers-by. It travels on invisible drops of spit. You don’t have
to cross the street to avoid anyone. Just avoid getting in their ‘moist breath’
zone”. We all just need to remember to have some breathing space at Alert
Level 2!
It’s important however that not just at school but at home, safe hygiene habits
are practised by everyone, as this is essential to minimise the risk that someone
gets infected with Covid-19.
For more information about the public health measures at Alert Level 2, you can
visit the covid19.govt.nz website: https://covid19.govt.nz/
If you have any questions about our health and safety plan or have a child who
might be vulnerable to serious illness and would like to discuss a plan for them,
please contact me.
We will be in touch again soon to update you on our plans.
Ngā mihi, Sharlene Tornquist

FROM FISH & GAME
The game bird season will not open at
Queen’s Birthday weekend specifically
to avoid Moving Day on the 1st of June
(an important date in the rural calendar
when large numbers of farmers move
to new farms).
Based
on
current
Government
projections, we are likely to see an
opening day mid-May or early June.
An example of how this would work
is:
Level 2 introduced between May 11
& 15 – Opening Day May 23
Level 2 introduced between May 16
& 29 – Opening Day June 6
This will allow a fair and equitable
game bird season for everyone. This
new date also allows hunters and
retailers some time at Alert Level 2 to
get a licence and get themselves set up
for the new season start date.
All hunters will have to comply with
the restrictions of Alert Level 2 while
hunting and travelling to their hunting
spots.
All hunters will start hunting on the
same day and it will be illegal for any
game bird hunting to take place before
this as it is a legal change to the season
dates. This applies to people hunting on
private land, their own land and in
publicly accessible areas.
Also please read the NZ Fish and
Game Covid-19 updates that are being
released on
https://fishandgame.org.nz/
KAIWAKA
SPORTS ASSN
FOR COVID-19
As I write this, New Zealand is still in
Level
3
Lockdown
and
the
Government will make a decision on
Monday as to whether we will go down
to Level 2.
Once NZ is at Level 2 some parts of
the Sports Complex can start operating
again, albeit with extra hygiene and
social distancing precautions in place.
Some of our sporting clubs may be in a
position to gradually get back into
things, others may not. Keep an eye on
the KSA Facebook page for updates.

In Memory of
Narelle Nimmo
The memorial marker pictured above is
in the car park at the Kaiwaka Sports
Association and is in memory of 13
year old Narelle Nimmo, of Kaiwaka,
who lost her life following a
devastating trip through the 250m
stormwater
drain
that
runs
underground from the east side of the
sports fields down through the car
park.
There was torrential rain following a
touch tournament on 21 January 1999
when a large pond formed in a
neighbouring paddock and a group of
youngsters played there not realising
there was a culvert. Narelle and 12
year old Patrick O’Donoghue were
swept through the 450cm culvert.
Patrick survived the ordeal, but sadly
Narelle died 2 days later in Starship
Hospital.
The culvert entrance was then fenced.

“When to flowers so
beautiful, the Father gave
a name,
There came a little blue-eyed one, all
cuddly it came,
And standing at the Fathers
feet and gazing in His face,
It said with low and timid
voice, and yet with gentle
grace,
“Dear Lord, the name you
gavest me, alas I have forgot”,
The Father kindly looked at her and
said “
Forget-me-not”.

One of the standout features of the
covid crisis has been a whole new
vocabulary, words either we hadn't
heard before or words we had never
used this way. Bubble, lockdown,
social distancing, self-isolation, zoom
meetings, levels (how we hang out for
those levels to go down!)... and a few
others as well. These words roll off our
lips with their new meaning as if we
had been using them all our life.
Much of the nation stops to watch the
News Special each day, updating the
figures for new cases, deaths, testing
figures and the like and while most of
us had never heard of Ashley
Bloomfield before, he is now a
powerful figure in our day.
But one phrase that caught my
attention is “shovel ready”. To
get the economy going again, we
need shovel ready projects to get
people back to work, money
flowing and some of that $50
billion of borrowings repaid.
Does that figure send a shiver
down your spine?
But “shovel ready” is an interesting
phrase in a day when most of these
projects use a shovel, a shiny brand
new stainless steel one, to turn the first
sod, wielded by someone who never
uses one in their ordinary life and after
that, the “shovels” are normally huge
buckets attached to monstrous yellow
machines.
But its meaning is clear. There is a
project ready to start. The need has
been identified, the geology done, the
business case presented and the tender
process ready to start. Most of the ones
we hear about are massive roading
projects, conference centres to cater for
international visitors who can't come
yet or housing projects trying to
eradicate
the
slightly
bad
smell of Kiwi build.
But I am interested in shovel ready
projects for Kaiwaka. Do we have any
ready to go? Mangawhai has their
Olympic size skate park ready and
“only” need $850,000 to get it done.
What do we have?
Well there is a lot we can do.
Improving connections between north
and south bits of our town, making it
safe to get across SH 1, working to get
more recreational space for a growing
population.
And now is a great time to be doing it.
The Spatial Plans for Kaiwaka are
almost back for final consultation
and will mean a lot more
designated space for housing,
industry and commerce. The
Long Term Plan has begun its
process of exploration for the
needs of Kaipara. Other major
plans are sitting in the wings
ready to go. And you may well
have ideas for other good things
we can do.
So Kaiwaka, get shovel ready!
Let’s bounce back out of Covid 19 with
the ideas, the plans, the enthusiasm and
the commitment that will make the
most of our great little town.
Zoom Conference
By the way, next Thursday the Mayor
and Deputy Mayor are hosting a
Zoom conference for shop front
owners in Kaiwaka to look at ways the
Council can help you recover from any
setbacks the crisis has met for you. See
the separate notice in The Bugle.
