KAIWAKA STREAM: A RATHER STRONG SMELL

A rather strong smell led the Bugle photographer following her nose last Friday ...PHEW … and what she found was not

a pretty sight. Sadly it looks like a sewer pipe next to the stream has broken - a large area of toilet paper has spewed on to

the bank making it obvious that something isn’t flowing correctly.

The large photograph below has been taken from the southern bank of Kaiwaka Creek, just east of the Oneriri Road

intersection, looking north toward the Kaiwaka - Mangawhai Road

The smaller photograph was taken on the north side of the stream and shows a large lot of wet toilet paper, etc amongst

the willow slash and rubbish. - the cause of the smell was found.

Folk did see a surveyor working on the Oneriri Road/east side of the Kaiwaka bridge at the time, but his work was in

relation to the planning of the new footbridges and pathways.

Conservation Week was originally launched in 1969 by the New Zealand Scout Association, with the goal to promote

greater interest in the environment and encourage people to take practical actions to look after it.

The Nature Conservation Council then had a turn at running the campaign, while other organisations like the Post Office

Savings Bank, Caltex Oil NZ, and The Todd Foundation came to the party with educational resources. Over the years

famous artists like Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Don Binney have contributed their art for previous campaigns.

When the Department of Conservation was formed in 1987 it took over the Conservation Week duties, and has since

worked with other groups, businesses, councils and agencies to make it all happen.

Conservation Week is a national celebration that encourages people to get involved in nature and help to take care of it.

Get out of pine and get into planting quality native

timber on slippy hillsides says pioneering

Northland nurseryman Simon Vallings.

To visit the Maungatapere nursery Forest Floor near

Whangarei is to return to how New Zealand was before the

invasion of chainsaw, tractor and digger. All about are

flourishing native trees - and the business is 27 years old.

Simon, and his fellow directors dedicate themselves to

native forest restoration in preference to exotic farm

forestry, whose untidy effects are scrawny eucalyptus and

sticky pine (not to mention collapsing poplar and cankerous

leylandii cypress) throughout the northern area.

Without careful management, exotics don’t produce returns.

Many find that the plantation farm advisors or New Zealand

Farmer’s Red Book encouraged them to grow are not only

miserable from lack of pruning but inaccessible and scorned

as firewood that is hard to extract.

Simon recommends people with land consider species

which suit the conditions and go native.

On his website <http://www.forestfloor.co.nz/> he

celebrates local timber with a photo of a shed built during

the Pacific War from local puriri (Vitex lucens) a relation of

teak.

"Puriri trees produce extremely durable timber that does not

need treating, and grow very quickly into huge trees," he

says.

The shed stood strong despite tropical cyclones through the

years. Many farms sheds are built from natives.

Currently Forest Floor grows millions of native seedlings,

mainly manuka and kanuka.

The website advises us to time planting out, so seedlings

establish before first drought. August is prime. Check out

the website for advice.

"A lot of our tree planting work is trying to establish a

canopy cover to reduce erosion and prevent this loss of

topsoil in the first place. Sometimes we end up having to

start again from scratch, planting into sand dunes."

Forest Floor provides plants with 12 months fertiliser in the

potting mix, so there is no need to re-fertilise. The website

suggests most nurseries use minimum fertiliser to grow a

tree.

"We use the most

expensive potting

mix per tree of

any nursery in NZ

because we want

our customers to

get the long-term

results." ~ HP

On 6 September at 1pm, a fabulous new exhibition of
contemporary jewellery titled,

‘Creating with

Kauri’

opens at The Kauri Museum in Matakohe. This

is the second of the annual Maker Series of exhibitions,

which showcases jewellery made by top NZ artists and craftspeople. Each

exhibitor was given one piece of kauri timber and either one piece of gum or six

gum nuggets to create their interpretation of this year’s theme.

As we prepare for this show, one of our collections team pointed out an

interesting antique piece of hand-crafted jewellery, which is currently on display

in the gum room.

James Joseph Nightingale Griffiths,

also known as Joe, was born on

31 January 1890 at Huia, Auckland. James Griffiths a saw miller, and his wife

Abigail had thirteen children, Joe being their eldest.

They lived at or near Matakohe as he attended school there in 1895. The family

moved around due to Mr Griffiths Senior work in the timber industry, and we

know they lived in Northern Wairoa, Dargaville, Mamaku, Thames and

Matamata.

Young Joe took up work as a saw doctor in the mills and was later known for his

skilfully crafted gavels,

which he used to make for

the

Masonic

Lodges.

These were made of native

woods, inlaid with the

Masonic symbol in silver

and paua shell. All were

stamped with the lodge

name and number on the

bottom.

Joe met his future wife

Olivia Margaret Kemp at

Dargaville, as her family

had moved up from

Nelson.

As was the way for many

folk of the day, the Kemps

were

unsuccessful

farming and moved back

to the South Island, with

Maggie and Joe keeping in

touch by mail.

Eventually Joe made his

move and went to the

South Island to ask for

Maggie’s hand. They were

married at Lydia Bay in the Pelorus Sounds.

This beautiful kauri gum necklace and matching earrings was hand crafted

by Joe and presented to Maggie on their wedding day.

Acorns are said to be a lucky symbol, representing prosperity, youthfulness,

power and spiritual growth. Certainly, this elegant piece was made with love and

Maggie was his ‘lady luck’.

We hope you will enjoy the exhibition which runs until 28 January 2021.

FILANI MACASSEY : ARTIST

Filani Macassey is currently

working on a project which

includes the artist setting up a pop-

up studio in at the Kaiwaka War

Memorial Hall.

Since moving to Kaiwaka four

years ago Filani has worked as a

gallery assistant, a community

centre

co-ordinator

and

administrator. During February

2020, the Whangarei Art Museum

hosted an exhibition of Macassey’s

work which centred around her

research project on the island of

Cyprus.

This exhibition included LRDG*

history during WW2 and the

Cypriot village site Filani was

named after by her father who was

a veteran of the LRDG.

The current project Filani is

developing will be to record the

effects of Covid -19 on a national

and international level. The artist is utilising embroidery techniques and masi

which is a traditional fibre made in Fiji, derived from paper mulberry.

You can see Filani in the hall on Fridays and Saturdays from 10am to 2pm. The

pop-up studio will be over a period of three months and is supported by CNZ.

Filani will be posting relevant updates on the Kaiwaka Community social media

page or you can email the artist at studio501ffm@yahoo.com.

A COVID-19 MASK

HP considered a mouth covering against covid-19. There were ready-mades and

instructions on how to make your own but I liked the dual purpose neck

warmers (neck gaiter) and a menswear shop offered scarves - both suited and I

chose a scarf.

Our fantastic workers in the Op Shop

have had several reasons to celebrate

recently.

Not only have they revamped the area

so items are easier to locate but also,

they will not have to endure the

discomfort that varying seasons have

provided in the past.

The shop has had two heat pumps

added which will help temperature

control in both upper and lower levels

throughout the year. However, this is

only the start of the good news. When

Wave Refrigeration from Dargaville

learnt of our need they very generously

offered to install two devices but only

charged us for one a saving of more

than $3,000. We are very grateful for

this fantastic gesture and it has proven

to us once again, the importance of

shopping local when we can.

Remember, the Op Shop is open

Tuesday to Saturday so feel free to

come in and browse around in comfort.

Senior’s Lunch

It was a special day on Wednesday 5

August! Our first Senior’s Lunch at the

St John Hall since Lockdown.

Although the home- delivery service

was very well received in early July,

the general feeling was, ‘we can’t wait

to come back to see all our friends

again.’ So, it was a happy day for all

with a chance to catch up and a tasty

lunch. To see the many smiling faces

was a treat for all the hardworking

volunteers who enjoy putting this event

together. Make sure you don’t miss

out, the

next senior’s lunch is

Wednesday 2 September, St John

Hall, Maungaturoto.

The regular Fun and Games and

Chocolate Bingo are up and running

again too, its plain to see the happy

participants have been waiting for them

to begin. Unfortunately, the virus kept

us shut in for a long time but it was

totally necessary just so we can stay

well.

The community van

had to go to the

panel beater, so the 4th Wednesday

shopping trip was cancelled.

We will be going twice this

month as usual so phone the

Community House to put your name

down., 09 431 9080. This is a nice day

out whether you need to shop or not

and if you want to stop anywhere in

Whangarei you only need to ask our

driver.

We thank our generous donors who

give bedding, children’s clothing, fresh

produce and eggs. This is just

wonderful and so gratefully received.

Thanks also to the financial groups

who help supplement the contributory

funds received from Government. We

could not do the work we do without

you all.

Our services include

counselling,

parenting, budgeting, senior support,

addiction support, social work, food

bank. For information on any of these

please call us on 431 9080 and we will

be happy to help.

As I write we have been advised that

from mid-day we will be in Level 2

while Auckland is in Level 3 and will

continue until 26 August.

Be Kind to each other and stay safe,

From all at OCS.

Baldrock Kennels and Cattery has reopened its doors!

This popular business is now owned and run by an

Camille says, “When your pets come to stay with us, they will be treated as if

they were one of ours. They will receive lots of love and pats, plenty of

opportunity to exercise and play. And of course, be fed twice a day with a good

quality diet, with a variety of excellent brands to choose from.”

They now have ‘Doggy day-care’ available: Drop off 7:30-9am - Pick up 4:30-

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

CHANGES IN COVID-19 ALERT LEVELS

As I type this on Friday morning, we are currently in Alert Level

2, and waiting to hear later today if/how that is going to change.

In Level 2, we are open for business. You need to sign in for

contact tracing when you come in the door then sanitise your

hands, and keep 1m from other people, otherwise it is pretty much

business as usual for us. We have a box on the table in the foyer

for you to place your returning items - simply so we can control

when they are processed, not for quarantining purposes.

If you are unwell with anything contagious (cold, flu, stomach

bugs, etc), please do not come into the library. This should be

normal practice for everyone at any time, but sadly it isn't. If you

want books, get in touch and we will make arrangements to get

some to you.

IF we go to Level 3, we will have to close. In that case, keep

hold of any library items until the library opens again; their due

dates will be extended, and we won't charge overdue fees on

items that were due back after lockdown commenced. (We don't

charge overdue fees on books anyway, only DVDs and Blu-

Rays.)

24-HOUR ACCESS TO ONLINE SERVICES

Our digital collections are always available, all day every day, to

all library members. From our three book providers you can

borrow eBooks and eAudiobooks to download to your computer,

phone, or tablet. And you can read magazines and newspapers via

PressReader - including those "premium" articles from the Herald

and Advocate that are normally blocked on their web site unless

you have a paid subscription with them.

FREE WI-FI

If we end up there, we will leave our free wi-fi going in lockdown

provided it does not create a public nuisance (i.e., keep your

distance from people not in your bubble). Anyone can do this;

you don't need a library card. Park outside the library and use it

from your car to download content from your streaming services

to watch at home (such as Netflix); saving your precious data cap

at home for other things (you can do this any time, not just in

lockdown). There is no password, just look for one of the two

streams - Kaiwaka_Library is the slower of the two, but the signal

travels furthest, while Kaiwaka_Library_5 is faster, but doesn't

the signal travel as far.

HAVEN'T JOINED THE LIBRARY YET?

It's not too late. Go to Enterprise* and click on the big green "Join

the Library" button on the left of the screen and sign up. If we're

in lockdown, select to be a digital-only member and you'll be able

to access our online collections (books, audio books, newspapers,

and magazines) straight away.

You can convert your digital-only membership to a library card

and start borrowing physical items by coming into the library

when we're open with some ID (such as a driver's licence,

passport, etc), and we will take care of that for you.

NEED HELP?

If you need help accessing our digital collections, call Dargaville

Library on 0800 532 542 (0800 KDC LIB) during business hours

- they have more experience with these than I do.

You can also reach me via the library's phone - it is still being

diverted to my mobile from the last lockdown. If I don't answer,

please leave a message as I can't see who the caller is on diverted

calls - it only tells me it's the library. Or you can contact me

directly on my mobile - 027 480 6275. I have loads of free

minutes on my phone that I never use up, so am happy to call you

back if needed.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently I've read The Gilded Hour by

Sara Donati, which follows on from

the Wilderness series. It's now 1883,

and we meet two cousins, Anna and

Sophie, granddaughters of Hannah,

who are both successful physicians in

their own right. Life in New York is

never dull, and the two women soon

find themselves embroiled in events

beyond their control. It's an excellent

read, and I'm looking forward to the

next book in this new series; they're

both on our Rental Fiction shelves.

See you in the library! ~Wendy

Kaiwaka Library, cnr State Highway 1 and

Kaiwaka Mangawhai Road. Phone 4312 539. Email kaiwaka.library@gmail.com

Open Wed-Sat 10am-2pm, Mon 4-6pm. Free membership is available to all

residents in the Kaiwaka area.

BOAT HOLES

A man was asked to paint a boat. He brought his paint

and brushes and began to paint the boat a bright red, as

the owner asked him.

While painting, he noticed a small hole in the hull, and

quietly repaired it.

When he finished painting, he received his money and

left.

The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and presented him with

a nice cheque, much higher than the payment for painting.

The painter was surprised and said “You've already paid me for painting the

boat Sir!”

“But this is not for the paint job. It's for repairing the hole in the boat.”

“Ah! But it was such a small service... certainly it's not worth paying me such a

high amount for something so insignificant.”

“My dear friend, you do not understand. Let me tell you what happened:

“When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention the hole.

“When the boat dried, my kids took the boat and went on a fishing trip.

“They did not know that there was a hole. I was not at home at that time.

“When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat, I was desperate because I

remembered that the boat had a hole.

“Imagine my relief and joy when I saw them returning from fishing.

“Then, I examined the boat and found that you had repaired the hole!

“You see, now, what you did? You saved the life of my children! I do not have

enough money to pay your 'small' good deed.”

So no matter who, when or how, continue to help, sustain, wipe tears, listen

attentively, and carefully repair all the 'leaks' you find. You never know when

one is in need of us, or when God holds a pleasant surprise for us to be helpful

and important to someone.

Along the way, you may have repaired numerous 'boat holes' for several people

without realizing how many lives you've saved.

VJ DAY

Victory over Japan Day. Saturday 15

August marked the 75th anniversary

since Japan surrendered, effectively

ending the Second World War

News of Japan’s surrender following the

detonation of atomic bombs over the

cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended

the Second World War was received in

New Zealand at 11 a.m. on 15 August

1945. More than 200,000 New Zealanders had served during six long years of

war, and more than 11,500 had died.

As with VE Day in May, VJ Day events were regulated by officialdom. Once

again, the preparations had been considerable, and the celebrations generally ran

smoothly.

Sirens sounded immediately, a national ceremony was held, and local

celebrations followed. Once more there were parades, bands playing,

thanksgiving services, bonfires, dances and community sports meetings, and

again there was a two-day public holiday.

In Auckland, pictured above, where fewer events were organised,

people began to enjoy themselves the moment the factory whistle

sounded, drinking, dancing and scattering confetti.
