MASKS AND DISTANCING

Masks and distancing are part and parcel of a health check-up these days.

The 2020 Lockdown shas raised awareness of the ever-present nonbacterial

microbes known as viruses which lurk behind common colds, flu, chickenpox,

measles, hepatitis and other illnesses. For

useful information on the distinction

between bacteria and viruses see https://

www.healthdirect.gov.au/bacterial-vs-

viral-infection.

At Coast to Coast Healthcare's Wellsford

Medical Centre, Hastie Lane resident

Greg Nathan directs comers to safe

seating and asks questions to screen out

any coronavirus threat to centre staff. In

a friendly way he and other screeners

greet the steady, well-paced arrival of

patients

who

ring

ahead

for

appointments.

There is ample space in the waiting

room.

In addition to the busy Wellsford MC,

the ADIO clinic in Station Road

addresses those managing viruses such as

the "enveloped, positive-sense single-

stranded RNA virus of the family

Flaviviridae" that results in Hepatitis C.

More about viruses can be found on

Wikipedia and from scientific journals.

They say that the other side of Covid

19 there will be a new normal. Things

will be the same but different. And that

is not just for us but for the whole

world.

In a small rural town like Kaiwaka,

perhaps we won't notice it as much. We

can now get out and about a bit more,

meet friends and family more easily,

shop a little more easily and in general,

get back into the old groove.

But Kaiwaka will not be the same as it

was because while we were in

lockdown, things were happening

which are going to affect us all sooner

or later.

One of these is the Spatial

Planning process

, in its final stages

before it is moulded into a new district

plan. Look at some of the major

changes.

The big thing in it is the

realignment of Oneriri Road

through the Brethren property coming

out opposite Kaiwaka Mangawhai.

Road. It doesn't detail the nature of

intersection but is something we need

to watch out for. (

See diagram from page

109 Kaiwaka Spatial Plan - right

)

The town centre for development

more retail, public space and parking is

in the area on the corner of State

Highway

One

and

Kaiwaka

Mangawhai Road, stretching out and

back from the strip of shops that used

to include Bianca's and Mormors.

And there is a lot of extra land

designated for housing (both sides of

the

Highway),

light

industrial

development (north of the Coffee Pot

where the Highland cattle are) and

plenty of ideas for walkways,

cycleways and connectivity. Look at it

yourself on:

https://pub-kaipara.escribemeetings.com/

filestream.ashx?DocumentId=1055

but give yourself plenty of time for

working through all the detail.

The other piece of news (a bit old now

for Mangawhai) is the

coming

construction of a Gull Service

Station just south of Three

Furlongs.

Strange we had to learn of

it through the Mangawhai paper and

not during the spatial planning process.

It is strange also that NZTA has

allowed it when they have constantly

blocked any more driveways coming

out on to the highway. It will mean big

changes for the Caltex Station and also

mean there is going to be traffic chaos

from the southern bridge almost up to

the Italian Bakery set of shops, until

Oneriri is realigned.

I am sure there will be other changes

too to the way we live and act in the

future. Many of us have been involved

in Zoom meetings or family catch up

and this may be something a lot more

common in the future. It has even been

suggested for Kaiwaka Can meetings to

expand the meeting by Zoom to those

unable to be there in person!

So have a fun future Kaiwaka!

Some of us are not going to see it all

but it is great to see some movement in

mapping out a future for a great little

town that will be greater in the future

and not so little.

THE MEANING OF KAIWAKA

According to the KDC SPATIAL PLAN Kaiwaka (Resilio Studio, AR +

Associates Limited | April 2020 99 4.1 ) Local & Historical Context Kaiwaka,

as a personal name, translates to ‘a star, possibly Kaus Astralis, which appears in

late winter and heralds the beginning of the lunar month of Kohitātea (January)

or Hakihea (December).’ As a noun, Kaiwaka means ‘threatening clouds (on the

horizon)’.

The CENTENNIAL OF KAIWAKA RAUTAU O KAIWAKA 1859 ~ 1959

records on page 9 the interpretation of “‘Kaiwaka’ - A cloud against a clear sky

resembling a big tree. The cloud Kaiwaka, has never been observed anywhere

else in Kaipara, when the cloud Kaiwaka appears against a clear sky it foretells

the passing of a person of high rank. It has been said that persons of high rank or

tribal leaders have great resistance against death and will live on longer than

they should if there is no one else to succeed them, The passing of such people

and the Cloud Kaiwaka, may all seem a co-incidence. The reason assumed is

that a certain atmospheric pressure will weaken all resistance against sickness.”

This

year

the

Cancer

Society

celebrates the 30th

anniversary

Daffodil Day and

is looking for 30

people to tell their story.

“

We’re looking to hear and share

stories of what the Cancer Society

and Daffodil Day means for people.

We want to hear about what

difference the Cancer Society has

made in people’s lives

,” says Cancer

Society Auckland Northland CE

Andrew Young.

The Cancer Society wants to be able to

tell the story about how the generosity

of everyday Kiwis has helped it make a

difference for people with cancer over

these 30 years.

The stories will be featured as part of

its Daffodil Day campaign in August.

“

We rely on Daffodil Day to support

the work we do. Every day the

Cancer Society provides expert

information services, counselling,

nutritious meals, accommodation

near

hospitals,

transport

treatment, as well as important

education

and

prevention

campaigns, and vital cancer

research in New Zealand

.”

The first Daffodil Day was held in

Wellington and Manawatu in 1990. A

group of Feilding volunteers picked

daffodils from local paddocks to

exchange for a donation on the last

Friday of August.

Since then, Daffodil Day has grown

into a nation-wide annual campaign

involving more than 12,000 volunteers.

This year, Daffodil Day will

take place on 28 August.

ANZ has been a major sponsor of the

Cancer Society since 1990 and the

principal sponsor of Daffodil Day.

Each year ANZ staff get involved in

fundraising activities that fund services

and support for Kiwis with cancer.

People wanting to tell their story can

fill out an easy online form https://

bit.ly/30storiesproject and the Cancer

Society will be in touch.

“

We’d love to use every story

submitted in some way, we know

there’s many people out there who

will want to tell their story about

Daffodil Day and the Cancer

Society

.”

CANCER SOCIETY SEEKING STORIES

Well as you read this, you will

probably have been challenged in many

ways that you had not thought of at the

beginning of the year, but it would

seem that we are making progress

downwards, so let us keep the lowering

of numbers ongoing.

Since my last report to you we have

been two months without an official

Rotary meeting and now we are

looking at ways of moving forward so

that we can continue to be of service to

the community and start connecting

again as the Fellowship is very

important to our club. As mentioned

last time, many of us did not know

about Zoom in March, but more than a

few of us have used it to interact with

our groups for many different reasons.

My latest venture into this was on

Saturday when we had the chance to

listen and watch a variety of presenters

at a Rotary district training. We were

not only provided information about

the many facets of Rotary but also with

tools to progress forward in this

demanding environment. Several of our

youth initiatives have had to be

cancelled for this year. Like the

Challenge camp which is a weeklong

camp at Muriwai for 16-24yr olds with

a physical or intellectual disability.

This camp focuses on what the

youngsters can do and makes a huge

difference in the lives of

attendees.

One area that I do believe we need to

make progress in is the use of Social

Media to not only let people know

what we are doing but also to let the

readers know what Rotary offers and

ways that they may be able to help us

with various activities.

Our Rotary club is only one type of

Club that is now on offer. These newer

clubs reflect the changing times. I have

previously mentioned the

Millwater

satellite club

that has helped us with

projects, but there are also

E-clubs,

Corporate clubs, Passport clubs

and even an Eco club. For 14 to

18-year olds there is an Interact

club,

but with Duke of Edinburgh and

William Pike being offered in our area,

I think this age group is well catered

for.

We are gradually climbing back down

the Alert level Ladder but remember,

wherever you are and whatever your

circumstance, keep safe and take care

of each other and be mindful of those

around you. It is now more than ever,

when we are outside, reconnecting, that

we need to be kind and supportive of

each other.

OTAMATEA

HIGH SCHOOL

Principal’s Notes

We’ve had a great first week back at

school with students enthusiastically

returning to lessons and enjoying

catching up with their friends and staff.

We have outlined to students that the

remainder of this term will be a period

of catch up to ensure that any

momentum that was lost as a result of

the lockdown doesn’t hinder their

overall progress for the year. Due to

the practical nature of some courses

more catch up is required. For senior

students we have set aside 3 additional

days during term two for this. Usually

senior students would have ‘banked’

lots of credits in term one but due to

the lockdown the timeline for this has

been pushed out. In many cases

courses were adapted so that work

could be continued at home through

the online platform. We have

rescheduled our academic mentoring

afternoon to Wednesday 17th June.

This involves all senior students and

their families. More information will

follow closer to the time. Staff will

also begin working on senior reports

soon which will be posted out towards

the end of the term. The midyear

report afternoon is on Wednesday 1st

July.

ONLINE STUDENT LINKS

We have decided to keep the online

student links site active as at alert level

2 there may be more absence than

usual, particularly as students are being

asked to stay home if they are sick.

The online platform allows all students

to check what their class has been

working on and if they are able to

continue working online.

CANCELLATIONS

Cancellations of events and activities:

There have been a number of

cancellations of events and activities

due to the COVID 19 restrictions.

Whilst this is disappointing it also

gives more time at school for the catch

up to occur. If you are unsure whether

an event is taking place, please contact

the school office or the event organiser.

CHROMEBOOKS

Thank you to all the families who

ensured that the school issued

chromebooks were returned to school

promptly. This has enabled our

students to use them at school.

POINT CURTIS

CRUISING

CLUB

It is with great sadness that we advise

Graham (Grabba) Mills

passed

away last Wednesday 20th May 2020.

He had battled with cancer for years

and it finally was too hard for him to

fight any more. His funeral was held

on 25th May 2020.

He was born and bred in Kaiwaka and

was

long-standing

committee

member of this Club. He was always

ready to give a hand and participated in

SPOTTED ON TV THREE NEWSHUB

Kaipara District Council Mayor Jason Smith was interviewed last week on the

TV3 Morning News regarding Northland’s water shortage - Northland’s Worst

Drought For More Than 70 Years.

Treat water like gold is the advice

given by Waters and Waste Manager

Donnick Mugusto from Kaipara

District Council.

Donnick and his team have been

monitoring

water

levels

across

Kaipara, and says they are still

critically low, even though we’ve had

some rain over the last few days. “The

rain we’ve had is only surface deep and

we’re still in one of the most severe

droughts on record,” says Mr

Mugusto.

Water restrictions have remained at

Level 4, which means no outdoor water

use, including hoses, water blasters and

sprinkler systems.

“We’re encouraging people to take

shorter showers, turn taps off while

brushing their teeth and insert a bottle

in their toilet cistern to reduce the

amount of water flushed down the

drain.”

Periods of heavy rainfall have

been followed by dry conditions and

cold southerlies; much more rain will

needed

this

winter

get Kaipara back to healthy waterway

levels.

“The dry winter in 2018 preceded by a

dry year in 2019 were the perfect set-

up conditions for the drought,” says

Mr Mugutso. Although the rain we

have had has been welcomed by

farmers, most of it has been in ‘the

wrong place’ for our aquifers. What

little we have had within the catchment

has resulted in temporary surges in

supply, that do not last. We need rain

in the streams and tributaries that feed

into our large water supplies.”

Baldrock Dam,

pictured below during the

KSA Top of the Rock 8 March and now at right

- a supplementary source of water on

the East Coast is at the lowest the

Water

Team

has

seen,

and

the Kaihu River, where the main

Dargaville supply is drawn, quickly

drops back to drought levels following

rain.

We have been advised the dry weather

will continue a while longer. The

council is already urging people to

think ahead to next summer and

consider their water storage options to

protect against possible acute water

shortages again next year.

The Council also works closely with

the

Northland

Regional

Council in managing water sources

in times of water shortage. A long-

term solution is water storage is

currently

being

considered

for Dargaville. According to the

Northland Regional Council, river

flows for this year are currently

tracking 40 to 47% below normal

levels across all the main

centres in Northland.

THE BIG DRY STILL AFFECTING KAIPARA

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 still closed

The library is closed for now. We're

not quite ready to face the world, given

that the vast majority of our team of

volunteers either fits the 70+ age

category, and/or have health issues that

makes them vulnerable. We will be

reviewing the situation in early June.

ot too late to join the library

You can sign up to a digital-only

membership and access our free digital

services - eBooks, eAudiobooks,

eMagazines, online encyclopedia... -

without needing to come in to see us.

You can upgrade this, if you wish, to a

full membership when we open once

again. Go to Enterprise* to sign up.

Members can borrow books

Despite the doors being closed, we are

able to distribute books to our library

members via contactless means. This

involves you taking steps to let us

know what you want to borrow...

New service - My Book Bag

Don't know which specific titles you

want to borrow, but want something to

read? We have a new service on our

web site called My Book Bag - Tākū

Peke Pukapuka. You tell us what sort

of thing you would like to read, and we

will find something to suit. You don't

even need to log in to your library

account to fill in the form. Go to

Enterprise* and click on the My Book

Bag - Tākū Peke Pukapuka button to

get started.

Placing a Hold on library items

If you want to borrow specific titles, go

to Enterprise*, log in to your library

account, find what you're looking for

(you can search on title, author,

subject, series, and more) and place a

hold on the titles you want to borrow.

Log in to your library account

To place a hold on items, you need to

know your library card number and

your PIN. The library card number is

easy - look on the back of your library

card. If it's an old laminated card, you

may have to type KP before the

Bxxxxx.

If you don't know your PIN, there is a

link on the log-in screen: Forgotten

your PIN? Click on that to start the

process of resetting your number.

Need help with logging in?

If you have problems with logging in,

please contact Dargaville Library for

assistance - 0800 532 542 - and they

will get you sorted. As I write this

article, I still can't access the library

management system from home, which

prevents me from doing this for you.

Can't get online?

For people who don't have internet

access (please tell your friends who

might not see the Bugle about this),

you'll need to have a conversation with

us about what you'd like to read.

Call the library (09 4312 539 - the call

will be diverted to my phone), call me

at home (09 4312 725) or call/text my

mobile (027 480 6275), or phone the

staff at Dargaville Library (0800 532

542 9am-5pm Monday-Friday) and we

will do our best to find suitable titles

from our shelves for you.

Deliveries

Then we need to work out a way to get

the books to you. Whether that

involves me taking a little drive to

deliver to your letterbox or doorstep in

a contactless way or leaving them

somewhere in town for you to collect,

will be worked out at the time.

However, it is done, I will call or email

you to make the arrangements that suit

us both when your items are ready.

Returning your items

All items issued to members when the

lockdown started have had their due

dates extended to the end of June. No

fines or penalties will be incurred on

those items before then.

The after-hours returns slot is open, so

you can return your items when you're

done with them. We've had a lot of

books returned lately, so if the box is

full when you stop by to return your

items, please take them home again

and return them another day.

Items will stay on your account until

they have sat in quarantine for a

minimum of three days after they have

been removed from the afterhours

returns box.

Since we are not in the library every

day, the actual period may be longer

from the time you returned them; the

books will be processed the next time

we're in the library after the three days

are up.

If you have been ill or are in self-

isolation, please keep your items for a

bit longer.

Brown bags

If you have clean brown paper

shopping bags, you can put them

through the returns slot so we can reuse

them in our book delivery service.

These will be held in quarantine, along

with the returned books, before being

used.

Many thanks for the bags that have

already been donated.

Justice of the Peace services

While the library remains closed, I am

not available as a Justice of the Peace.

The JP Service Desk in the library will

reopen at the same time as the library

reopens.

Keep safe and read a book! ~Wendy
