Kaiwaka Bugle - 9 June 2020

9 June 2020
Kaiwaka township certainly made up for their
lack of rainfall early on the morning of Sunday
31 May!
The local Kaiwaka Volunteer Fire Brigade
were out assisting from before 2am. Jaques
Four Square team were thankful for the firemen
checking the store and helping with the clean
up. The Herald delivery driver noted the flood
was from the Jaques car park right across to the
public loos, couldn't see the footpaths, “The
water coming down the hill past the church was
unreal!”
As dawn broke the 6” sewer pipe crossing the
Kaiwaka Creek from the Eutopia side to
Oneriri Rd had caught a large tree (no splits
were found in the pipe) when the stream
became 3-4 times its normal width - as pictured
right. Other trees floated down the creek too,
and further up Oneriri Road 50 meters of fence
was taken out.
Damage to paths and drains was noted, but
sadly the Oneriri’s dams didn’t get filled - see
Tony standing below the overflow!
See Bev’s weather report on page 7 for
more on the rain records.
Then there was the household rubbish
dumped in McClean Park - bottom right.

DOUBLE SLAMMER
As pictured below a bird’s eye view of DOC200 trap - Sliding a black mouse
trap inside a bigger trap is paying off up Oneriri.
Mice caught can be bait for the rats and stoats the DOC 200 trap aims at.
This autumn the DOC 200 trap has taken five rats and a stoat along with five
mice, one of which probably tripped the rat trap before being caught.
The young rat was surprised when interrupted in mid-meal on the mouse.
Escaped but his return a few days later was fatal.
These results are for one trap at one location.
*
Most useful for the Kaira Oneriri Biosecurity Area over the three-
year period were:
Timms kill traps - possums
DOC 200 kill traps - rats and stoats
.22 ammo - rabbits, turkeys, peacocks,
possums
Ferafeed attractant - bait for Doc200s
GoodNature traps - rats, possums
Black snapper traps - mice
*Best baits
Cinnamon apple - possums
Peanut butter - mice
Ferafeed - rats
Petrol - wasps
The Kaira Oneriri Biosecurity Area is applying to continue operating with
Northern Regional Council assistance.
A potential pest target are mynahs which crowd kereru, tui and other species.
Perhaps NRC-funded mynah-control is a role for marksmen? HP

KAIWAKA
WEATHER
That was a wet end to Autumn for
some of us and others are still crying
for rain. An awesome display of
lightning as well and thunder. As my
Dad would have said that is the end of
Summer and now into winter.
What
an
array
of
rainfall.
Mangawhai got 7mm some got
20mm. Out at Oneriri down the end
of Parekura Road they had 9mm.
Still desperately needing good rain.
Apparently, that was much like
Dargaville.
At our house in Kaiwaka we got
105mm. Halfway to Hakaru they
had 131mm. In the middle of
Kaiwaka they got 155mm. No
wonder the shop flooded. Just like a
river down Kaiwaka- Mangawhai
Road. On the Reserve Hill just east of
John Bowmar and his tractor house
there was 170mm. Bruce Ferguson got
140mm and 1km south of Kaiwaka at
Christmas Wonderland they had
131mm. So, it was not a very wide
band of rain but boy it packed a punch.
The Fire Brigade had a few callouts
and were cruising around the district
trying to keep an eye on things. Poor
Greg was told to get down to shop
[Jaques Four Square] quick smart as
water had gone right through the shop.
Just what you don't need in the middle
of the night. The Fire Brigade helped
pump the shop out. I think a lot of
attention should be paid to culvert
cleaning and drains. Then again with
rain that heavy they still would have
trouble coping.
The Easterly set in at the beginning of
the month and there it stayed. It was
cold as well. Promised rain but that
was few and far between. We did have
some awesome days nearing the end of
our Autumn. The temperatures have
fallen somewhat as we head on through
the year.
At our house for May we had 246mm
and 2019 we had 36mm.
We had rain on 15 days of the month
and for 2019 we had rain on 8 days in
May.
Our wettest May since 1987 was
2001 with 281mm and our driest
May was 2007 with 21mm.
Our first 5 months of 2020 we had
431mm and 2019 we had 296mm.
Our wettest first 5 months since 1987
was 2011 with 863mm and our driest
was 1999 with 108mm.
At least the Brynderwyn Waterfall is
flowing again so the water table is
taking it's time rejuvenating. As you
read this there is about 14 days left till
winter solstice (21 June) so then we
head for summer. Reading .0 deg
temperatures as well. With the South-
easterly keeping it cold as well.
Please take care out there with the iffy
weather now. I was always taught to
respect my elders but each day it gets
harder. Young ones, this is true, with a
lot of luck this maybe you. Life is
precious. Bev.

From Thelma’s
Scrapbook …
Trending with our
Weather of late......
One evening during a violent
thunderstorm, a mother was tucking
her son into bed. She was about to
turn off the light when he asked with
a tremor in his voice, “Mummy, will
you sleep with me tonight?”
The mother smiled and gave him a
reassuring hug.
“I can’t dear,” she said, “I have to sleep
in Daddy’s room”.
A long silence was broken at last by
his shaky little voice, “The big sissy!”

COUNCILLOR’S COMMENT*
with Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Ward Councillor Jonathan Larsen
CONSOLIDATED
GENERAL
BYLAW CONSULTATION
Council is proposing to replace its old
Bylaws with a new, tidier version and
is asking the community for input
before it is finalised. The proposed
changes include removal of five
obsolete parts, simplification of the
way the bylaw is written, and
significant changes to the cemeteries,
crematoria and solid waste sections.
Submissions close on 19 June 2020
with a hearing scheduled to be held on
30 June 2020.
For further information and to make a
submission see Council’s website or
phone 0800 727 059 for a
hard copy.
MY THOUGHTS ON RATES
At the April Council meeting an
average rate increase of 3.97 percent
was approved by Council. As an
elected member I am required to
support the majority decision of
Council. I have however been asked
why I voted against this increase – in
short, my thoughts are as follows.
1. Fundamentally I believe that the
Council should be run for the benefit of
the ratepayers (its “shareholders”).
2. Like any organisation Council
needs to operate within the bounds of
available revenue. Councils however,
have unique powers to raise that
revenue through rating, and can
effectively set the amount of revenue
generated at any arbitrary level it
chooses. This system fails when rates
are set at levels that are unaffordable
for ratepayers.
3. The best measure of inflation
available for Councils is the Local
Government Cost Index (LGCI). This
index uses a basket of goods applicable
to Council operations and at present is
calculated as 2.0 to 2.2 percent.
4. It is often argued that Kaipara is a
“growth” Council and therefore must
spend more than inflation. The effects
of growth however can be mitigated if
development
contributions
and
financial contributions are set at
appropriate levels. This has not in my
opinion previously been happening in
Kaipara.
5. Many retired ratepayers with
limited incomes have spent their lives
providing for a nice place to retire. The
rating system for Kaipara is based on
land value, and this results in the rates
particularly for Eastern properties
being disproportionately higher than
other locations.
6. My concern is that if Council
continues to impose compounding rates
increases well above inflation, rates
will eventually
become
the
largest
component
of
many retiree’s
expenditure.
This
practice
runs the risk of
rating them off
their properties
that they have
worked so hard
for and deserve
to
peacefully
enjoy. A similar situation applies to
many rural property owners. I can
accept some margin above LGCI to
provide for improvements, but not
double LGCI (or more) as has occurred
over the past several years.
7.
In
my
experience
bureaucracies provided with large
budgets are inefficient. It is my
preference to keep budgets lean - this
motivates staff to find efficiencies and
smart solutions to service delivery.
Currently one percent of rates is
$346,000. When set beside the district
plan review Long Term Plan (ten-year)
budget of $7.32 million the impact on
ratepayers is eye-watering – that’s a
pretty hefty price for a book review.
When large budgets are provided this
often leads to the engagement of
consultants – the ratepayer then has to
fund both the staff overheads and the
consultants.
8. My concerns are of course
heightened by the obvious hardships of
the current and potential upcoming
economic conditions post-COVID19,
which further strengthens the case to
take a conservative approach.
9. I am not opposed to the use of
economic stimulus for the local area.
There are many sources of central
government funding to the tune of
billions of dollars to draw on at
present. What I am opposed to in these
uncertain times, is rating to generate
funds to proceed with “nice to have”
projects under the guise of providing
local economic stimulus. In many cases
this simply imposes further financial
burden on local ratepayers through
rates, whilst funding consultants and
contractors who are often operating
businesses based outside of Kaipara.
10. In my opinion now in particular is
a time to proceed with caution and live
within our means.

service issues please phone 0800 0800

Opening Day Game Bird Shoot
A very successful day was held on
Saturday 23rd May 2020. This was the
postponed date for the Opening Day
Game Bird Shoot. A lot of birds were
weighed in and everyone was in good
spirits and there was a lot of catching
up to be done due to the Covid-19
enforced lockdown.
Annual Prize giving
We also held our Annual Prize giving
and this was followed by a well-
received meal – everyone got a
Domino Pizza.
Thank you so much to all the helpers
on the day, and also for everyone
respecting the Alert Level 2 rules.
Our AGM is coming up and we really
need some more keen helpers. We
have had 4 committee members sadly

Notes from the Principal
Last week’s senior catch-up day was a
great success with students working
towards
assessments
in
music,
construction, wood technology and
hospitality.
You may have seen on the news that
NZQA have made some adjustments to
the number of credits required for
NCEA and University Entrance this
year.
We
have
our
academic
counselling meetings scheduled for
Wednesday 17th June and will go
through these new requirements at this
meeting. NZQA have also pushed out
the NCEA external examination dates
for this year, and as a result we have
also pushed out our senior prizegiving
so that we can maximise the amount of
learning time at school prior to exams.
Science Roadshow: On Thursday
18th June we are hosting the science
roadshow again.
The next PTCA meeting is next
Wednesday 10th June at 7pm in the
students’ support-centre. New members
are always welcome to attend this
group who are committed to assisting
our students and school.
Support for online learning: The
Ministry of Education are currently
promoting a new website called
www.keepitrealonline.govt.nz.
Parents and caregivers can find
information including tips on
how to have conversations with your
children on that website.
NZ COVID Tracer App: The school
has our own generated QR code which
can be used for any parents/caregivers
who visit the school for contact tracing
purposes.
Additional uniform for cold weather:
We have a stock of uniform for sale at
school which is very useful during the
colder weather. We have introduced a
new black scarf at a cost of $20,
thermals which can be worn under
uniform are $21 and beanies are $15.
All of these items can be bought at the
school office.
Rachel Clothier-Simmonds, Principal
Year 12 Wood Technology
After a long wait the guitars finally
arrived today for the students who are
making their own bespoke electric
guitars.
They were excited to start stripping
them down for parts and working out
how they will fit into their models. The
students are designing their own body
shapes and will be using a range of
timbers such as Ash Sapele, Rimu and
Purple Heart.
Pictured - Mr Dainty had a few moments to
come and play some Jimi Hendrix riffs.

Thank you for ensuring that you sign in at the office when
you come into the school. This has made our contact

During the interviews we will give out the
reports and use this as an opportunity to talk

The reports will be different from past years due

We opened our doors for the first time
last Saturday. While we are in Alert
Level 2, we will be operating restricted
days and hours:
Monday 4pm to 6pm
Wednesday 10am to midday
Saturday 10am to noon
ALERT LEVEL 2 RESTRICTIONS
As well as our shortened hours above,
the number of people in the library at
any one time will be limited. The front
door will be kept locked. When you
arrive, please knock on the door, and
we will let you in as soon as we can.
You will be required to sign in on
entering, and use our hand sanitiser.
Keep your visit to 15 minutes, please.
During this time, the table will not be
available to sit and use our wi-fi or do
other things, or sit with your kids in the
children's' area to read books.
ALERT LEVEL 1
I anticipate that when the country
moves to Alert Level 1, we will be able
to operate our normal hours once
again. BUT that is dependent on having
enough staff to cover all of our days, so
please keep an eye on announcements
until we are back to 'normal'. It might
not happen on day 1 at the new level,
but we will get there.
Keep an eye on the library doors (I will
stick a notice up) and/or on our
Facebook page for updates.
Justice of the Peace Service Centre
With the library reopening, I am again
available to serve as a Justice of the
Peace for walk-ins when I'm in the
library. During Level 2, that will be
every day we're open. Look for the sign
on the front door as usual when I'm
there. No need to make an appointment
when the sign is out, just come on in
with your papers and ID.
Don't forget there are other JPs in
Kaiwaka. We are all listed on the back
page of the Bugle, and you can also
find us on the official web site - http://
justiceofthepeace.org.nz/
Find+a+JP.html
BOOK REVIEW
Recently
I've
read Lock In by John
Scalzi.
This author
was recommended to
me as a science fiction
writer - but don't let
that put you off if it's
not your cup of tea.
This novel is set
slightly in the future,
and is more of a detective thriller than sf. It
is very readable, and I didn't want to put it
down. The main character is rookie FBI
agent Chris Shane, and we meet him on his
first day on the job. Without giving too
much away, let's just say it turns out to be
quite a week for him! This is a three book
series, and as I write this I've finished the
second book and about to start the third.
They're all on the Rental Fiction shelves in
the library. There are other Scalzi titles in
the district as well, plus others available in
digital format. ~ Wendy
KAIWAKA LIBRARY IS OPEN
2020 SILENT CELEBRATION
On 29th May 1862 the Matilda
Wattenbach
and
Hanover
ships
departed the London docks with 600
Albertlanders aboard heading for their
new life in the Kaipara wilderness
(which was not quite what they were
expecting, in most cases). The Museum
has held no 29th May celebration this
year, because of the Covid19 lockdown,
but on the Noticeboard on our website and
on Facebook there are some videos of past
celebrations and some special offers on
books such as a reprint of the original
1926 publication of THE
ALBERTLANDERS.
Pictured right: Top - two
men building the first wharf
at Port Albert.
Bottom - a photo of the
arrival of the first ship (from
a hand-coloured lantern
slide).
The Museum will reopen
when we are in Level 1
which hopefully will be this
week or next; and a
reminder also that the Gibbs
Farm Visit has only been
postponed, not cancelled, so
keep an eye on the website
for updates on a
new date.
