ST.JOHN DAY 24 JUNE

The Otamatea St. John Committee held a special volunteers

dinner at the Three Furlongs Bar & Grill.

Special presentations were made by Richard Blundell,

patron of St John Northern Region to our Kaiwaka Op Shop

volunteers (certificates), and to Maungaturoto’s Vic Rosser

and Trevor Brljevich the medals (as seen in photo left)

recognizing 50 years of service to St. John.

Reg Jaques pictured below with his wife Bev and Richard

Blundell received the Priory Vote of Thanks. This is a

unique award which takes the form of a certificate signed by

the Prior and Governor General, Dame Patsy Reddy.

HAKARU & DISTRICTS RSA MID WINTER CHRISTMAS

Friday 26 June saw a grand crowd at the Hakaru Clubrooms where the evening began with The Ode led by President, Bill

Warren. Folk then enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Dinner prepared by Diane Lawrence and helpers. Excellent music and

singing was provided by Aaron and Jessica Preston and George Goddard. And then the storm broke - thunder, lightening

and the power went out! Dessert was eaten by candlelight. Photos below: Left - into their crackers; Right - at the servery

ABOUT TOWN



Friday 26 June was a dark and windy night that was regularly lit with

lightening; as Bev says , ‘Thunder Lightening, very, very frightening’. Our roads

took quite a hit too with excess gravel on the tarseal and in the paddocks.



The Bugle Team thank Cheryl Anderson very much for her full and regular

contributions to the Kaiwaka Bugle, always keeping the community well

informed on the local sporting activities. The Team wish her well for the future.

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSOCIATION

It is with sadness and regret that our executive committee

of the Kaiwaka Sports Association officially has had to

make Cheryl Anderson’s job as our manager, redundant.

There has been much banter on social media, and I thank all

those who posted gratuitous, supportive, and positive feed-

back, for the excellent job she has done for us over the past

twelve years.

When we started this position, we weren’t too sure how it

would work. Cheryl's enthusiasm and dedication made it an

unqualified success and she has been the key to unlock

many doors for the K.S.A. We started off employing her for

20 hours a week and for many years she would have

worked considerably more.

Unfortunately, with the lock down and no usage of our fa-

cilities for three months and still only limited usage and no

revenue we have been unable to sustain her employment.

We encouraged Cheryl to apply for Government assistance

to help keep her in this job and she was successful with the

initial three months wages, - there was further assistance

available, but this was not applied for.

Cheryl has been our Secretary for the last eight years and

has done a sterling job handling her duties with aplomb and

has been a pleasure to work alongside.

We would encourage the community to continue to support

the K. S. A. so we can continue to provide sport, recreation,

meetings and functions. Bookings can be made to Paula

Jaques at Jaques Four Square.

We wish Cheryl all the best in her future endeavours and

once again thank her for the tremendous job she has done

for us.

Many Thanks

BIRD SURVEY ~ ONERIRI

This has been the week of the New Zealand annual

garden bird survey.

Species likely to have been present: fantail/piwakawaka,

white faced heron, blackbirds, thrushes, silvereyes/tahou, grey warblers/

riroriro, kingfishers/kotare, pheasants, yellowhammers, moreporks/ruru,

sparrows, magpies, tui, kereru, finches, mallards, starlings, hawks/kahu;

but there could be more.

Mynahs continue to be a problem if they mob other species. Rosellas have

flown through and pukeko, turkeys and a peacock may show but won’t get a

red carpet.

At time of writing on Friday 3 June I hadn't seen a

pipit/pihoihoi, kaka or bittern/matuku

- pictured

right ©Glenda Rees.

Though there have been some up

Pukenui Road in the past.

Ref. http://

nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/australasian-bittern

The return of a putangitangi pair

(pictured below)

just

beyond the pasture gate was welcome although

neighbours confirm scores of younglings putangitangi can mess up Kaipara

dams. [Earlier story on them p5 of the last Bugle.]

Putangitangi [aka Putakitaki] breed only in New Zealand and some are said

to live 23 years. The species had official protection a century ago as it was

prized by shooters. Clearance of

bush and drainage of swamps for

grazing have seen the population

explode to the point that it is

subject to an annual cull. HP

INVITATION

KAIWAKA TOWN CENTRE

BUSINESSES ZOOM SESSION

The second Zoom meeting for Kaiwaka businesses

is being held Monday July 13th, 7pm.

Last time the meeting was just for shop fronts but this time

any business in Kaiwaka and surrounds can join in. There

are many small to medium businesses in the area, some

working from home, and we want everyone to be able to join in this discussion.

Town centre businesses collectively make up the heart of our towns across our

District. The Covid19 crisis puts these businesses at risk. We want to work with

you to understand your needs and to ensure that you get all the support that is

available, from every source. Your business recovery matters to Kaipara.

How will this work?

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. The first-round

meeting in Kaiwaka was held on 14 May.

We invite you to join us (on Zoom) on Monday 13 July 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. For those that attended the first meeting, we will provide an

update on where things are at with the advocacy work that we are doing on your

behalf.

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.

How to Zoom

To join the Zoom session please click the link below at the meeting time and

follow the instructions to “Join the Meeting”. You may have to select “use

computer audio” and turn on your video. We do ask that if you are not speaking

during the session that you mute your microphone, so the background noise

does not create interference.

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83944245766

Looking forward to speaking with you at 7pm on Monday 13 July.

OTAMATEA

COMMUNITY

SERVICES

My name is Merrilyn and I volunteer

for Otamatea Community Services on

Tuesdays. I can usually be found at the

reception desk, and will do my very

best to assist you in any way that I am

able. Six years ago, I retired from a

very busy corporate job and we moved

to Maungaturoto, the best move we

ever made. I found that I had time on

my hands and one night over dinner at

the RSA I asked Gail Barnett (our usual

receptionist) if she knew of anybody

needing Volunteers

and the rest is

history.

The thing I like best

is that no two days

are the same, there is

constant variety and

the team is a joy to

work with. So, if

you have time on

your hands or a skill

that

you

can

contribute, please pop in to see us. My

two biggest learnings are to count my

blessings every day, and what the word

team means. T.E.A.M = together

everyone achieves more.

We offer our range of services right

across the Kaipara District. i.e.

Counselling, Social Work, Budgeting,

Parenting, etc. There is no charge for

our services, as we are Government

funded. Call on 09 4319 080

Q: Why did the police arrest the turkey?

A: They suspected fowl play.

Q: Why did the turkey cross the road twice?

A: To prove he wasn't a chicken!

WHAT FISH?

A man was stopped by a

game warden recently with two ice

chests full of live fish in water, leaving

a river well known for its fishing.

The game warden asked the man, “Do

you have a license to catch all those

fish?”

“Naw, my friend, I ain’t got no

license. These here are my pet fish.”

“Pet fish?”

“Yep. Every night I take these fish

down to the river and let ‘em swim

‘round for a while. Then I whistle and

they jump right back into this ice

chest and I take ‘em home”

“That’s a bunch of bunk! Fish can’t do

that!”

The man looked at the game warden

for a moment and then said, “It’s the

truth. I’ll show you. It really works.”

“Okay, I’ve GOT to see this!”

The man poured the fish into the

river and stood and waited. After

several minutes, the game warden

turned to him and said, “Well?”

“Well, what?” said the man.

“When are you going to call them

back?” “Call who back?”

“The FISH!” “What fish?”

COUNCILLOR’S

COMMENT*

with Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Ward

Councillor Jonathan Larsen.

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Welcome my friends and

newcomers to Kaiwaka.

As you know we have passed the

shortest day of the year and are

heading towards Spring. It seems as if

we did not have Autumn this year

hardly except for autumn leaves. Going

over to Maungaturoto on Thursday I

noticed the beautiful Magnolias out in

full bloom - a bit early, I think. Also

going down to Wellsford Friday week

ago I spied a couple of lambs up on the

hills (I was a passenger so could look

around). So, it seems it is winter but

also Spring as well. I do know some

sheep farmers have it so their lambs are

born early, and they can tolerate the

cold better and there is not the same

flock loss.

Well our June was rather mild but

quite wet in some areas of the wider

Kaiwaka area and some are still short

of rainfall to carry them through to

next year. Oneriri has not had the same

rainfall as in Kaiwaka.

For June 2020 we had 288mm of rain

and in 2019 we had 104mm.

Our wettest June since 1987 was

2018 with 318mm and the driest was

2012 with 52mm.

For the first 6 months of 2020 we had

719mm and 2019 we had 400mm.

Our wettest 6 months since 1987 was

2018 with 1131mm and the driest was

1987 with 33mm.

At our house in Kaiwaka we had rain

on 15 days of the month and in 2019

we had rain on 16 days.

The rain was very intense on a few

days last month as a lot of people

experienced in one way or another. A

lot of road damage and flooding.

There was a tornado out at Mangawhai.

the

song

goes,

‘Thunder

Lightening, very very frightening’.

Our power was restored by 9pm in the

latest storm while most other waited till

2.30am approximately the following

morning. What an awesome show of

lightening - the storm was very high in

the sky. At least we did not have those

strong winds this month.

The Brynderwyn Waterfall is running

very well at the moment which is good

to see.

‘

Donald McDonald from the Scottish

Highlands went to study law at an austere

English University. After a month his

Mother went down to visit him. " And how

do you find the English students Donald

she asked? "Mother” he replied, they are

terrible, noisy people. The one on that side

keeps banging his head on the wall and

won't stop.... The one on the other side

screams and screams all night". "Oh

Donald, how do you put up with these

noisy

neighbours"?

Donald

replies

enthusiastically. "Mother I do nothing. I

simply ignore them. I just stay here quietly

playing my bagpipes."

Take care out there. Bev.

RESPONSE

FUNDING

FOR

KAIWAKA

Central

government

has approved a $9.32

million

worker

redeployment package

for Northland. Of this

$2.87 million is to be spent in Kaipara

to create employment opportunities, for

those who have lost jobs, or are at risk

of losing jobs due to COVID-19.

Kaiwaka is to receive $616,000 for the

installation of Kauri dieback proof

tracks at Kaiwaka reserve. This

includes $100,000 for wash stations

that NRC may contribute to. This will

tie in nicely with the adjacent fitness

trail already installed. A further

$30,000 will also be spent on a clean-

up of the Oneriri Rd intersection with

State Highway One.

POTENTIAL NEW SERVICE

STATION

I have followed up on queries about the

possibility of a new service station

proposal for Kaiwaka. Council have

confirmed that a resource consent

application for this purpose has been

received and is currently being

processed.

RESERVE CONTRIBUTIONS

CONTESTABLE ROUND

With all the growth that has occurred

around the Kaiwaka area, a significant

amount of money has been collected as

reserve contributions. This money is to

be used to compensate for the effects

of growth in the area. The contestable

round is now open for the community

to apply for funding for projects. This

could for example include such things

as walking tracks, a skate park, picnic

areas or the acquisition of land for

future recreation areas. There is

$300,000 up for grabs, and anyone

interested can find the application

information on the Council website

(search for ‘reserve contributions’ or

contact the Council grants officer

directly on grants@kaipara.govt.nz

with any queries. Applications close on

13 July 2020.

For any Council maintenance or

service issues please phone 0800 0800

727 059 or

email council@kaipara.govt.nz. If you

have any community projects or issues

that you would like assistance with, I

can be contacted on Ph. 021 185 8389

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSN

Due to Covid, the Kaiwaka Sports Association

committee has made me redundant from my role as KSA

A bit of an end of an era for me as I've been involved with

the KSA for over 15 years.

I've enjoyed running sporting and community events in our

town and just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone in

the community for all the support and help you have given

me over the years, I have really appreciated it.

Thank you, Cheryl Anderson

Kaiwaka Bugle - 7 July 2020

Page 13

This year, the L2 Primary Industry class has been able to do two outside courses

- fencing and quad bikes, and will shortly complete pest control.

The fencing course was run by the Northland Regional Council and was held

over the course of two days at two different locations. To hone their skills, the

students did several hours of fencing practice at Otamatea High School.

Kevin Mitchell from Training Ventures ran the quad bike course over two days

at the Maungaturoto Country Club. Students learned how to ride a quad safely

on a variety of terrain in a variety of weather events. Thanks very much to the

Maungaturoto Country Club for allowing us to use their facilities and also to

Kyle from Maungaturoto Motorcycles for generously loaning us the use of a

quad bike. Through the two courses students were able to gain various credits

and certificates. ~ Marco Troost

2020 Hell Reading Challenge

This popular reading challenge for kids

in Years 1-8 is back, and we have the

wheel cards at the library to get you

Hell Pizza store nationwide. You can

report up to four books to us on any

one day. There is no limit to how many

cards a kid can fill during the challenge

period. Cards must be redeemed by 31

January 2021.

NEW BOOK

I thought this looked interesting, and

want to tell you about it before I've had

time to read it myself - Ripiro Beach

by Caroline Barron... "Does DNA write

our destinies? Or do the hands that

nurture triumph over nature? What is it

that determines who we really are?

Caroline Barron’s father never found

his birth mother. After he dies suddenly

on her twentieth birthday, Caroline

develops an insidious fear of her own

untimely death. When she nearly

bleeds out on an operating table during

childbirth, it almost seems her greatest

fear is justified.

"Emerging from the experience a

changed woman, Caroline spends the

next six years poring over her family

history in an attempt to make sense of

her inexplicable rage. The family

secrets she unearths threaten to

destabilise her identity and carefully

built life, eventually leading her to

Northland’s rugged Ripiro Beach,

where past and present dramatically

collide.

"Ripiro Beach is a beautifully written,

relentlessly honest memoir. Caroline

learns that there are mental health

issues, suicide and incarceration in her

family and – most significantly – that

she is Māori."

‘This is one powerful read. I found it

riveting, at times confronting, very

moving, very passionate. It’s a very

brave book.’ – Dame Fiona Kidman

This book is on the Rental Non-Fiction

shelves in the library (920 BAR)

BOOK REVIEWS

I have two series of books for you this

week, which I've read recently and

enjoyed...

First up is the Sam Shephard series by

Vanda Symon - (1) Overkill, (2) The

ringmaster, (3) Containment, and (4)

Bound. "When the body of a young mother

is found washed up on the banks of the

Mataura River, a small rural community is

rocked by her tragic suicide. But all is not

what it seems. Sam Shephard, sole-charge

police constable in Mataura, soon discovers

the death was no suicide and has to face the

realisation that there is a killer in town. To

complicate the situation, the murdered

woman was the wife of her former lover.

When Sam finds herself on the list of

suspects and suspended from duty, she

must cast said her personal feelings and

take matters into her own hands. To find

the murderer... and clear her name. A taut,

atmospheric and page turning thriller." We

have the first three books on our Rental

Fiction shelves, and the fourth is at

Mangawhai where we can order it in for

you.

Next is the Sea Detective series by Mark

Douglas-Home - (1) The sea detective, (2)

The woman who walked into the sea, (3)

The malice of waves, and (4) The driftwood

girls. "Cal McGill is an Edinburgh-based

oceanographer, environmentalist and one-

of-a-kind

investigator.

Using

his

knowledge of the waves - ocean currents,

prevailing winds, shipping records - McGill

can track where objects have come from, or

where they've gone. It's a unique skill that

can help solve all sorts of mysteries. Such

as when two severed feet wash up miles

apart on two different islands off the coast

of Scotland. Most strangely, forensic tests

reveal that the feet belong to the

same body. As Cal McGill

investigates, he unravels a web

of corruption, exploitation and

violence, which threatens many

lives across the globe - very

soon including his own..." All

four

books are on the Rental

Fiction shelves in the library.

All of these books are listed

in our online catalogue,

Enterprise*, where you can

place a hold to be next in the

queue to read it. Contact me

if you need help finding your

way around there. ~Wendy

A REMARKABLE MAN.

It’s been 157 years since

a fellow named Donald

was in Mangawhai living

at the Heads with his

widowed mother and

siblings. Born in 1836 in

Ullapool Scotland, then

moving to Pictou Nova

Scotia where he learned

his trade.

In 1846 the potato blight

caused a famine which

may have led to the family emigrating on the Breadalbane in 1858 to Waipu,

Donald was twenty-two. Perhaps due to the family liking Mangawhai or perhaps

based on twin and often complementary industries of Kauri felling and

shipbuilding, Donald opened his McInnis shipyard in Shipbuilders Bay in 1862

with a contract to build Three Brothers an 18 ton Cutter.

He married Mary Haswell who arrived at Waipu on the Gertrude, and had two

children to her. He built three ships in the bay at the end of Awatea Street, the

third boat reaching through history to us today. Mc Innis built boats in Auckland

and Mahurangi. Over thirteen I know of, Cutters and Schooners all under one

hundred tons and of individual design.

Today he is remarkable due to the third boat being the oldest New Zealand Ship

still here. In 1865 it foundered in the Kaipara on 22nd February. The Daring,

named by his sister, was dug up and is under a polythene tarp in a Westpark

yard. Due to huge indecision there it remains, out of the public view. A give-a-

little page has been set up to donate to its recovery. The writer believes that if

put in the Maritime Museum it will be lost in time again, whereas if it was

returned to Mangawhai it would become a feature of our town, an icon better

than the stingray.

Donald was buried in 1918 in Symonds Street Cemetery, aged 82.

Pictured: Above - Daring where it foundered; Below - a painting of the Breadalbane

being built in Nova Scotia. ~ Bevan Lawrence
