2020 continues to be a crazy year. For

this reason, I am glad that I have the

chance

involved

with

organisations like Rotary that provide

not only certainty but also fellowship,

support and a chance to complete

projects in the community.

Kerry Underwood

We are also given a chance to hear

some great speakers, one of whom in

the past month was Kerry Underwood

who spoke on her “Walk with

Cancer”. Those of us who know Kerry

are very aware of her inspirational

attitude, but I had not thought of the

genetic effect that her type of cancer

would have on her children. This was a

very thought-provoking and

informative

presentation.

Thank you for sharing with

us Kerry and thanks to those

who came along to give her

support.

Six of us (joined by Judith

and David Cain, formerly of

Kaiwaka, now Orewa) were

able to meet with about 30

other Rotarians from clubs

to the south, in Orewa, to

hear what plans our District

Governor, Elaine, had for

her year.

Bronwyn Ellison

For us a special moment was the

presentation of a Paul Harris Fellow

medal, with sapphire to Bronwyn

Ellison (pictured above). Bron is not

only our Treasurer but she undertakes a

great deal of work for our District as

well. Congratulations Bron – well

deserved.

A Century for Rotary in NZ

This year Rotary will have been

operating in New Zealand for

100years, so we have been asked to

focus on several areas:

⚫

Give every child a future – a plan

to immunise all children in 9 Pacific

countries against several diseases that

can impact them (as we saw

with the measles last year.)

⚫

The setting up of a project

to plant trees “Rotary Peace,

Remembrance and Community Forests

Trust.

⚫

To take part in some form of

Centennial Project in our communities.

⚫

“Mana Tangata” a written and

photographic history of Rotary in NZ

during the past 100 years.

Two items of note:

⚫

If you are looking at undertaking

tertiary education of any type, the

President’s Scholarship is being

offered again this year. This is worth

$1500, and form will be available from

any Rotarian.

⚫

We are looking to

support a candidate for the

Rotary Youth Leadership

award at Muriwai – 2nd to

8th May 2021 – open to 20

to 28-year olds.

Any person who has

previously taken part in

this week has told us of the

impact it has had on their

lives, often helping them

define

their

future

direction. Again, please see

any Rotarian for an

application form.

If you are unable to access either of the

above, please drop a note to

Maungaturoto Rotary Club, P O Box

65, Maungaturoto 0547.

Driver Mentoring

While Covid 19 has caused a hiccup in

our

Driver

Mentoring,

please

remember that we are looking for

people to help others in the community

to progress from their Learner’s licence

to their Restricted. If you feel you

could support us in this area, please get

in touch with Alex Tetzner. This is a

very rewarding programme as not

having a driving licence can restrict the

efforts of people attempting to obtain

employment. ~ Eileen

OLLA PODRIGA

Unfortunately, with the ongoing

nature of alert level 2 we are unable

to welcome the OHS community to

Olla Podriga 2020. With capacity at

events currently capped at 100

people, the decision has been made

to rebrand Olla Podriga 2020 to

‘Podriga in the Park’. This will be a

2-day festival event during school

time for students and staff only.

However, you do not need to miss

out on the action, keep an eye on

our Olla Podriga 2020 website to

see videos and photos after the

show/s, and to choose your pick for

the People’s Choice Award.

World War II – Begins and ends in September

1939 1945: Meanwhile, back at Home…

Life continues

with all having to be done just as always, but with extra

difficulties. Life changed, families were disrupted and those at home worked to

keep things running as well as possible through worry, uncertainty and shortages

of needed materials

Rationing

of petrol began in 1940, so farmers reverted to horse and carts. To

get a pair of gumboots, farmers had to prove they had at least 12 cows. Food

production was critical, and the army helped by

lending men at harvest time.

Working women

(outside the home) was a

break with tradition, but became necessary,

even though they were paid less than men.

Social life

, however, continued - dances,

picnics, clubs and work groups were organised

and provided chances to meet and enjoy the

company.

Do you ever

dream about

what Kaiwaka could be like, say

ten, twenty years down the track?

Some of us won't have that long to see

it happen. Even so, it is good

sometimes to try and visualise the

possible.

Action without vision tends to just

produce the same old same old. But

vision can often lead to actions beyond

what we already have.

Lately a few of us in Kaiwaka Can

have been working to picture what it

could be like when, for example, all the

Spatial Planning proposals come into

force. That pictures a town in the

decades from now growing to possibly

5000 people with plenty more on the

outskirts. It pictures a great network of

walking and cycling tracks, a far larger

town centre, lots more green space and

plantings, weeds and pests cleaned up,

things for young people to do.

Here are a few of those dreams that

have been circulating recently:

A revitalised area in the centre,

each side of the southern bridge –

places for visitors, places for parking

and far easier access between east and

west. That in fact is already well

advanced in planning and we look

forward to seeing it. For too long we

have stood on the riverbank and looked

sadly at the mud and the weeds.

A major effort to tackle weeds and

pests.

The pest trap library is already

here, and Northern Regional Council

has been great at helping us get on with

these things.

A completely connected west side

of Kaiwaka

, one end to the other

instead of our fragmented and

dangerous thread of State Highway

One.

McClean Park,

cleaned up and

becoming a showpiece with a kayak

pontoon, picnic tables, maybe a dog

exercise park, maybe more garden

space – you let your imagination loose

on the park.

A pump track

(for modified bikes

ridden by pumping action from the

rider – like new generation BMX bikes

they tell me) and

a skate park

. Know

where we would like it, just need to

work out how to get there.

Multi-function I site.

It’s a long time

since we had an information centre

here even though we are the entry point

to both Kaipara and Northland. We

have been wondering if we could

combine this with an enviro centre and

an art collective. Dreams just now and

we need your energy to get there.

And of course, our welcome

sculptures

, designed long ago but put

in the too hard basket while we sort out

NZTA requirements.

And there are more. What do your

dreams include? And more to the point,

what ideas do you have as to how we

could get there?

Just a dream or two but watch this

space (and round town) for some of the

dreams to start to happen.

MY DADS’ BETTER THAN YOURS!!!!

Three boys were once discussing what their Fathers did.

The first one said, “My father puts together a few words that rhyme,

calls it poetry and gets $20 for it.”

The second one said, “My father puts a few pieces of wood together, calls it a

sculpture and gets $50 for it.”

“That’s nothing, “said the third boy. “My father writes a few notes, calls it a

sermon and it takes four men to carry in the money!”

some amazing friendships along the way!
Keep a lookout on Facebook for details as we

evening at 6.30pm

the internet did have the pleasure of watching a live stream of the game.

The game was an excellent watch, especially the Hawks great come-back and

show of strength as they dominated the second half.

Northland Rugby Division One (South Zone) Championship winners Otamatea

Hawks were unbeaten in their 6-game season; points scored - for 158, against

58; and were 9 points ahead of their nearest rivals Tomarata and Mid Western

both at finishing on 20 points

The Trophy was presented by Bronwyn Williamson, Northland Ruby Board

member.

AND A WORD FROM THE TEAM:

‘Hawks 2020 Champs

Coach Nick Makea and Captain Arapeta Waata have led the Otamatea Hawks

to the top of the 2020 championship after a hard-fought win against a strong

Mid Western side in the Championship Final at Maungaturoto on Saturday.

In front the COVID reduced crowd, Mid Western dominated the early stages of

the game through a strong forward display to take an early 3-0 with the wind at

their backs. The Hawks struck back after 20 minutes with the quick thinking

Makea taking a quick tap, seeing the elusive John Luke Whitehead go under the

posts 7 - 3 Hawks. Mid Western soon grabbed the game by the scruff of the

neck, with two well-constructed tries to take a 17-10 lead into half time.

With an early stalemate in the second stanza, it took a try from veteran hooker

Lance Nepia to bring the Hawks within two. A barn storming run off the

resulting kick off by replacement flanker Dallas Smith kicked the Hawks into

gear, storming down the park to see evergreen prop Lance Vale crash over and

the Hawks take a 22-17 lead with 12 minutes to go.

Replacement 1st 5 Bevan Thomas

pinned Mid Western down in their own

half seeing the Hawks set up camp until

one of the 2020 standouts, big lock

Nathan Taylor, crash over with 4

minutes left. The successful conversion

off the boot of Michael Robinson took

his kicking tally to 9 points for the day

and a 29-17 lead.

Mid Western threw everything at the

last 3 minutes, grabbing a late try

before referee Llew Smart blew time

with the Hawks winners at 29-24.

Congratulations to all involved, a well-

deserved win to cap off a undefeated

season in 2020.’

The Kauri Museum holds a very

interesting collection of natural history

specimens that are part of the kauri

story. In a quiet corner of the Ross

Wing, amid intriguing items of golden

kauri, lie strange wooden flowers on

curling stems. Māori refer to these

unusual growths as pua o te rēinga

(flower of the underworld) or waewae

atua (feet of the spirit), they are also

known by their botanical name

Dactylanthus taylorii. Now endangered

Dactylanthus is New Zealand’s only

indigenous fully parasitic flowering

plant. It looks like a warty tuber,

attached to the roots of native trees, but

has become so rare that you are

unlikely to see any on your walks

through native bush.

These unusual ‘flowers’ often referred

to as a ‘wood rose,’ were once

collected for ornamental purposes by

kauri bushmen. A few of these

specimens were gifted to The Kauri

Museum many years ago and are on

permanent display. Today the practice

of collecting wood roses, and their sale,

is actively discouraged and is

illegal on land administered

the

Department

Conservation.

In the wild a Dactylanthus

seed falls and germinates on a

suitable root and a globular

vegetable-like mass grows to

surround the junction of the

host root and the parasite.

This causes a distortion where

fibres of the root are diverted

up into it. Dactylanthus relies

on its host for all its water and

nutrients, as it is not capable

of photosynthesising. It is this

fan-like distortion of the root

fibres that form the often

beautiful and unusual ‘wood

rose’. The brown, leafless

asparagus-like flower heads

grow up from the vegetable

mass of the plant towards the leaf litter

on the forest floor where the fungus-

like flowers or tubers open. Many early

observers of the plant recorded that it

was discovered from the strong sweet

scent of these flowers.

Surprisingly Dactylanthus does not

harm its host in any way and dies if the

root is cut or damaged.

The specimens in the museum would

have been harvested more than 50

years ago when there were still many

examples growing in the bush. The

freshly cut plant would then have been

boiled

for

several

hours

and

painstakingly cleaned before being

dried.

If you would like to know more about

these intriguing native florae visit the

Department of Conservation website

https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-

plants/dactylanthus/

these rare ‘Flowers of the Underworld’

NORTHLANDERS BENEFIT FROM NEW BREAST

DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND MACHINE

Northland women who have been waiting to find out if they have a breast

cancer diagnosis have benefited from a new ultrasound machine, thanks

to a $52,000 donation from Breast Cancer Foundation NZ (BCFNZ).

The addition of this machine to Whangarei’s Mauri Ora Breast Clinic is helping

to meet growing demand for breast screening, which has increased by 45% since

the clinic opened in 2006.

Chief executive of BCFNZ, Evangelia Henderson, said she was thrilled the

charity was able to respond to Northland DHB’s urgent appeal to fund half of the

$104,000 machine: “Receiving a timely diagnosis is crucial to improving your

chance of surviving breast cancer as it means you can start on treatment sooner,

so this new machine will make a real difference for people in Northland.”

Mauri Ora Breast Clinic service manager, Barb Miller, said: “Before the new

machine was installed in February, if the one machine we had broken down,

patients were sent home until the technician arrived from Auckland.”

The new ultrasound also provides more

functionality and better picture quality.

Each year more than 160 people in

Northland are diagnosed with breast

cancer, and we still lose 25 people in the

region to breast cancer every year. BCFNZ

is a not-for-profit organisation that depends

on donations and fundraising for its work

in breast cancer education and awareness,

medical research and training grants,

advocacy, and supporting Kiwis with

breast cancer.

Lightburn Stream

today is a little-

known tributary running under State

Highway 1 a few kilometres north of

Kaiwaka Township, but it holds an

important place in local history. The

northern bank of the stream is a tapu

site associated with battles between

Ngapuhi and Ngati Whatua.

During the Kauri logging boom times,

Lightburn Stream floated kauri logs on

their way to the tramline at Point Ernie.

The Auckland Weekly News of 24

September

1887

claimed

that

Pukekaroro hill country was generally

recognised as containing some of the

best Kauri in the north.

The nearby

Lightburn cottage

, built

in the late 1880’s by Richard Kendall,

took its name from the stream. The

cottage was a pit-sawn, shingle-roofed

example of the two-room pioneer

cabins common at the time. This was

the type of cabin highlighted in Jane

Mander ’s novel, The Story of a New

Zealand

River.

Although parts of

the cottage were

transferred to the

Kauri Museum in

Matakohe, it still

shows its pioneer

character.

Macrocarpa

was

planted below the

house which gave

the house privacy

and still preserved

its

view

Pukekaroro. These

were cut down

when the

state

highway was put

in.

In the Spring of 2019, Lightburn

Stream

was

chosen

the

environmental education programme

Whitebait Connection and Kaiwaka

Primary School Enviro Group as an

ideal Inanga Habitat and the students

look forward to studying the stream

further. Restoring Lightburn Stream

with native plants and trees will not

only help Inanga thrive, it will honour

its history.

On the Saturday 27th August 1960,

Kevan

Marks,

formally

Christchurch, and Joan Small of

Milford, North Shore, tied the knot at

the

little

wooden

Georges

Presbyterian Church in Takapuna. They

met when Joan headed to Christchurch

to start her apprenticeship as a tailor

and Kevan was an apprentice at the

Christchurch Press. They moved back

to the North Shore to get married and

to settle down. Kevan having been

offered a job at what is now the North

Shore Times Advertiser.

Living for a while at what is now, I

believe, number 5 East Coast Rd,

Milford which at the time was a block

of flats, which housed Joan and Kevan,

Joan’s parents, Ed and Pat Small,

Joan’s Uncle, Todd Lodge. And not

long after their eldest child Tony was

born. Just over 2 years later Janice

came along at about the same time as

Joan and Kevan bought a property and

built their first home in Tui Glen Rd,

Birkenhead. This was down a long

driveway and as Joan didn’t have a

license at the time she would have to

walk the 1 mile plus distance, in heels,

because no proper lady went out

without heels on, pushing the baby in

the pram and holding on tightly to

Tony, to do the weekly grocery

shopping. Kevan by this stage was

working for the New Zealand Herald,

and also on the NZ Woman’s Weekly

and the Listener.

A number of years later Katrina came

along, to add to the family. Kevan,

having been playing in brass bands

since early years in Christchurch, had

joined the Takapuna brass band, (now

North Shore Brass) at a time when it

was still a D grade band and after a few

years they made it up to an A grade

band. A number of lifelong friendships

were formed over this period. Many a

weekend after rehearsals the band

members would turn up at their house

for a BBQ. Kevan played an E flat

bass. Many Auckland Santa parades

and competitions around the country

over many years ensued and many

stories that don’t bare retelling.

In the mid to late 70s Kevan left the

Herald and they both started their own

printing business in Highbury, later

partnering up with Joan’s younger

sister and her husband and then

eventually selling out to them, and

Kevan went to work at the Auckland

Star. During this time, they went from

the old compositing and linotype

printing of the paper to it all being

computerised and he had to learn how

to use a computer. Then after many

years at the Star he was made

redundant in 1988 and so having never

been overseas before Kevan and Joan

took off for a nearly 7 month world

tour,

visiting

America,

Canada,

Amsterdam,

Germany,

France,

England, Singapore, and Australia.

Most of their travel was on trains and

backpacking.

Heading home, Kevan saw an ad for a

new start up taxi company and so took

his taxi license and started driving taxis

around Auckland, even having a trip or

two to Rotorua. Some interesting

customers tales have been told about

that. Then due to ill health he had to

give up taxi driving and became a

dispatcher whilst Joan learnt the taxi

trade and would then drive the taxi

around Auckland at night. Also, around

this time they decided to downsize and

left Birkenhead for Browns Bay.

Joan retired after 16 years as a taxi

driver at the age of 70, and they

decided to follow Katrina and her

family to the lovely Kaipara. They sold

up in Browns Bay and have for the last

10 years lived in Kaiwaka, where Joan

says the community feel reminds her of

the Shore when she was younger.

Kevan says it took him 50years, but he

finally managed to get her to go rural.

On Thursday 27th August they

celebrated 60 years of marriage and on

the 29th the family organised a surprise

celebration at the Maungaturoto RSA

where they are members and regulars,

with friends and family, that are not

stranded by Covid19.

DID COVID-19 ALERT LEVEL 2

We're still in Alert Level 2 and will stay here until at least

Sunday 6 September at this stage. The library is open for

business. We need you to either sign in on the contact tracing

sheet or use the QR code with the tracing app on your phone

- many thanks to those who have been doing so during this

time.

JUNIOR FICTION EXPANDING

The Junior Fiction (JF) shelves were bulging at the seams, so

to speak, and getting good use so we're making that section

larger. They're still on the same shelves as before, but they

are now also on the shelves in the centre of the room in the

section nearest the original JF shelves.

OTHER MOVEMENTS

Teen Fiction (YP) are now alongside the new JF shelves,

moved from the other side of that central bookcase. DVDs

and Blu-Rays are back on the other side of the central

bookcase where they used to be a while back.

NEXT BOOK SWAP

The date for the next Dargaville book swap has been set for

mid-October. If you haven't already, now is a good time to

come in and take a good look through the books on those

shelves, before they disappear. Don't forget to check the

Large Print shelves too. These books don't need to be

returned before the swap; they can trickle in as you've

finished with them.

Book review

Recently, I've read The Tally Stick by Carl Nixon. "A

compulsive and chilling novel about subjugation, survival

and the meaning of family.”

~Wendy

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

“R TUCKER THOMPSON” SCHOONER

The Tucker as it is called by many,

especially those who have sailed on her,

was built in Mangawhai by Robert

Tucker Thompson known as “Tucker”.

The traditional gaff-rigged schooner was

started in the late 1970's as a project to

embody the best features of a traditional

design and modern material of today.

After Tucker died the schooner was

completed by Tucker’s son Tod

Thompson and Russell Harris.

The Tucker design was based on a

Halibut schooner of the North Western

American coast and was considered fast,

easily manned, and handled the sea well,

looking like an 18th Century working

ship purposeful and square and

shouldered, but with a touch of style and

speed sufficient to out run the law in the

18th century. The ship has a current survey in a class seven foreign vessel which

means that they can carry passengers around New Zealand and offshore.

On 4th June 2006, her owner Russell Harris transferred the ship to the people of

Te Tai Tokerau, Northland to be operated by the R.Tucker Thompson Sail

Training Trust.

At present during the summer the Trust do ‘day sails’ with people who would

like a tall ship experience around the Bay of Islands. This is the time when the

Tucker earns the bulk of their income to run the Trust; further funding comes

from other agencies, but this is getting harder to get. During the months July to

November the Tucker takes children from Northland on weeklong training trips

round the Bay of Islands.

Two of my grandsons have been on two different sailings and they both loved it.

Seeing the quite shy children on embarking and then seeing them when they

disembark on the last day - they are loud excited, and just buzzing, exchanging

modern contacts.

If children are interested in go on such a sailing venture contact R Tucker

Thompson via Facebook or their Web page.

Children can be sponsored by schools, local business, by family, etc. Each trip is

approximately $2000 but if that amount is unattainable there is a subsidised

price of $950. Don’t be put off by the cost - you can contact The Tucker and

make an arrangement with them (they even take time payments), as they do not

want to leave children out of gaining the experience because of cost.

On the trip the children learn about sailing, parts of the ship, mapping, cold

swims, as well as visiting the islands of the Bay of Island, and heaps more. Each

trip is different due to weather conditions. ~ Jennie
