FOUR SQUARE CHANGE

HELLO from the PEDERSENS:

‘It is a real honour to be the new owners of Four Square Kaiwaka (Jaques).

We relocated north from Tauranga late in November where we were previously

the owners of Four Square The Lakes. Picking up the reins from Greg, Paula

and the Jaques family that have gone before them is a responsibility not lost on

us.

Along with the team, we are committed to continuing the amazing store

experience that the Jaques family have been offering customers for the past 96

years. The focus on fresh meat, produce, baked treats and a quality grocery

offering all at reasonable prices will remain. Along with this we’ll continue the

strong emphasis on community that has endeared the Jaques family to this part

of NZ.

For those that we have met so far, thanks for being so welcoming of us into

your neck of the woods. And we look forward to meeting those that we haven’t

yet met.’ ~ Warm Regards, Ant, Jess, Ruby and Harry Pedersen

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Welcome to all our

regular readers and new to the district.

As I type this out it is only 25 days till

the end of 2020. As many people heave

a sigh of relief. It has been a traumatic

year for most people.

Interesting though how many found

they could put in a garden. Water may

be a problem though. Think of

ingenious ways of how to save it. A lot

of people found they had to turn to

their computers more to get work done.

Lots of changes took place. A bit like

the weather. Very windy easterlies,

partly cloudy then wind back to the

southwest. We did get some rain but it

needs a lot to get into the ground. It is

so dry. It seems most farmers have

been able to access their properties all

year round. The winds swung from

North to Northeast and round to the

South and Southwest. As I type this out

we have 17 days to go to our Summer

Solstice and of course the Big Ho Ho

on the 25th, then New Years Eve.

With school holidays starting in a week

or two.

The Brynderwyn Waterfall is very slow

now. Summer predictions are tropical

storms but who gets the rain is anyone's

guess.



Well for November 2020 at Santa's

house we measured 122mm rain and

for 2019 was 47mm.



November 2020 we had 9 days of

rain and 2019 we had 7 days with rain.



Our first 11 months of 2020 we had

1407mm and for 2019 we had

1061mm.



Our driest November since 1987 was

1988 with 20mm and the wettest was

1999 with 340mm.



Our driest 11 months since 1987 was

1993 with 888mm and the wettest 11

months since 1987 was 1989 with

1663mm.

Please watch out for the children

during the school holidays. In fact all

the time.

Q. What bow cannot be tied.

A. A rainbow of course.

And for my last joke of the year :

Q. How does a dog stop a video. A.

Push the Paws button.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a

Happy New Year.

Season's Greetings to the wonderful

Bugle Team. ~ Bev

CHRISTMAS GETS

EVERYWHERE!

Have you put up your Christmas

tree?

What

about

the

decorations? Have you put them

all up? And did you use tinsel,

Christmas streamers

– that glittery,

shimmery, shiny stuff? If you did, I

wonder if you have noticed it too …

that it gets everywhere. Everywhere!

Bits break off, fall off, become

detached and go all over the place. You

vacuum it up and then just after you’ve

put the vacuum cleaner away, you

notice more little bits. For days and

days after you still find it, because it

gets everywhere! Then, long after

Christmas; after you have taken down

the tree and carefully put away all the

decorations, you find bits of tinsel in

odd corners, hidden away. In the

middle of winter, you will suddenly see

something glinting as it picks up the

light.

I was getting kind of annoyed or

frustrated with all these loose bits of

tinsel, but then I realised that it is a

metaphor, an image, a picture of

Christmas - because Christmas gets

everywhere, and it’s supposed to!

Christmas is God’s love made

visible,

tangible,

touchable,

believable, real … and it gets

everywhere.

The Spirit of Christmas can reach

people and situations that are closed off

at other times. This happens and we

can rejoice and be thankful that it does;

that just like those bits of tinsel, it gets

everywhere. The Good News of God

who loves us so much and comes to

share our life and be alongside us. And

it all begins with Jesus, the baby born

in a Bethlehem stable.

But then I also realised that there is

another aspect to this – our part.

Christmas and the Good News of

God-with-us gets everywhere through

us. We can be like those shiny bits of

tinsel glinting on a miserable winter’s

day. We are the signs of hope, praise,

peace, joy and love because that’s

how Christmas gets everywhere …

and we’re supposed to!

May the blessings of this special

season be yours; may you find rest and

refreshment and enjoy a new year of

opportunity and promise.

Peace be with you, Wayne Thornton,

Minister for St Paul’s Kaiwaka

Kaiwaka Bugle - 8 December, 2020

Page 7

With such a busy State Highway

One, getting from East to West in

Kaiwaka has been rather precarious

for some time.

Building on the detailed planning of

Kaiwaka Can, earlier this year I

approached former Minister Shane

Jones for provincial growth funding for

two western footbridges and an

interlinking footpath. A grant of

$750,000 was announced in principle

and I am pleased to confirm that the

funding agreement is now finalised and

approved.

The initial scoping work has

confirmed that both bridges can be

built on the western side of the

traffic bridges. With a new underpass

under the southern end of the

Mountain Creek (northern) bridge, this

will allow full access around central

Kaiwaka. It will provide seamless

linkages to McClean Park, and

ultimately the Kauri Trail and Fitness

Trail, and proposed riverside walk.

This is consistent with the layout

agreed in the Kaiwaka Township

Improvement Plan. It will also allow

for pedestrian access to and from the

future commercial area west of the

Cheese Shop as recently confirmed in

the Kaipara Spatial Plan.

Council is holding a drop-in

session at the Kaiwaka War

Memorial Hall on 14 December from

4 to 7pm to discuss design options,

with construction scheduled to run

from July to December 2021.

NEW SCHOOL FOOTPATH

Council has completed the design for a

new footpath up Kaiwaka-Mangawhai

Rd to the school. This will include a

safe crossing point adjacent to the

playground and Kaiwaka Four Square.

Construction is scheduled to start in

January 2021.

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas

and happy New Year. If you have any

Council related issues over the break

you can call Council on 0800 727 059

24 hours 7 days a week 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

The views expressed are those of the writer

and do not necessarily represent the consensus

position of Council.

THE CHURCH UPDATE

Kia Ora, I hope everyone is doing well

I'm just writing to give everyone a

quick update for the rest of the year.

For many of us this year has not been

easy with many unexpected events and

challenges that have come our way.

We have had many things happen, in

which we give thanks to the Lord for

all things, because he turns everything

around for good.

As we come to the end of the year, I

would like to personally thank

everybody for your amazing service to

our church. It has truly been amazing

to see many more people volunteer to

serve in the house of the Lord and to

do it with such a great attitude.

I would like to thank everybody for

their service and contribution to the

Church.

CELEBRATION

We are going to be celebrating on

Saturday 12 December at Kaiwaka

Revival Church from 5pm onwards.

Please let everyone in your teams

know that they are invited to this night

to honour all of those who have been

serving in the house. We will have a

special dinner together provided by the

Church.

Last Service for the Year 2020/ First

Service for 2021

Our last service for the year will be on

Sunday 13 December and we will be

opening back up on Sunday 10 January

2021.

I believe God is going to do some

amazing things in 2021 so let's get

ready for what he is going to do!

Thanks, and blessings, Pastor Tawhiri

ARE YOU ALONE

THIS CHRISTMAS?

When you find yourself alone at

Christmas, sights and sounds that

once brought joy can reinforce your

sense of sadness and loss. There is no

magic,

get-well-quick

formula;

processing what you’ve lost takes

time and God’s sustaining grace.

Here are some insights to help:

(1)

Don’t assume.

Don’t buy into the myth that everyone

else is having a perfect Christmas

while you struggle. The truth is, we

all experience the unrealistic demands

and

pressures

shopping,

entertaining and gift-giving. And it’s

worse in times of heartache. That’s

why we're so relieved when it’s over.

(2).

It’s just one day out of 365

You can handle it for twenty-four

hours because God has promised to

give you ‘strength...equal [to] your

days’ (Deuteronomy 33:25 NIV).

(3)

Take the focus off yourself

Reach out.

See if there’s a needy family or a

hurting acquaintance who'd enjoy

spending an hour with you. It may be

the last thing you feel like doing, but

it is therapeutic, restores your

perspective and brings a sense of well

-being and gratitude.

(4)

Start some new traditions

especially when old ones just make

you feel worse. ‘Forgetting those

things which are behind and reaching

forward to those things which are

ahead’

WONDERSTORE

FOLLOW UP

Front page of the last Bugle our local

Jaques Four Square Store article was

headed ‘Welcome to the Wonderstore’

– quoted from a statement made by

John Bowmar in Roger Smith’s book

‘Stories Tall Stories Short- Kaiwaka

2009’*. David Kisler has noted that

the original wonderstore was Bennetts

Wonderstore at Port Albert. It was so

named in 1972 by Simon Damerell a

co-worker at an oyster lease on the

foreshore of Bert Stables farm on Pah

Hill Road, Port Albert where we came

to love the Kaipara. Simon later

became a teacher at Kaiwaka School

where he met John.

David says, “Nonetheless best wishes

to the new owners of Jaques. They

have always had the most charming

and congenial checkout girls you

could meet in a day’s march. I could

shop in Ponsonby but always prefer

Jaques.”

EARLY KAIWAKA TENNIS

McClean Park was opened on 15th November, 1947, together with the three

courts. A gathering of nearly 300 people witnessed the opening. Later on at the

entrance to McClean Park gate-posts* were built of Bald Rock stone and brick,

on which are plaques, with appropriate wording, to commemorate the centennial

of New Zealand. 1840-1940.This memorial was officially opened on 23rd of

April, 1949 by the Hon. W.E. Parry, M.P., Minister for Internal Affairs.

OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL

Notes from Rachel Clothier-Simmonds,

Principal

SENIOR PRIZEGIVING 2021

Otamatea High School held their

annual senior prizegiving on Friday 6th

November. It was one of the few

events this year where we have been

able to host lots of community

members at the school. The event went

off without a hitch, somewhat more

comfortable than usual, with the

benefit of the new chairs and new air

conditioning unit.

In our speeches both Llew Smart, BOT

Chair, and I talked about how the

students and community have shown

tremendous resiliency this year. This

character trait was further reinforced

by the guest speaker, ex deputy head

girl, Portia Havill (nee McCabe,

pictured top right) who did a wonderful

job of entertaining and inspiring the

audience. Katrina Poyner

and

Brooke Hutton also entertained the

audience by singing “For Good” (from

the musical Wicked) and “Don’t

Dream it’s Over” (Crowded House)

respectively. A new addition to

prizegiving this year was the school

waiata which was sung beautifully by

the students as staff and distinguished

guests left the stage. Thank you to

Matua Wiremu and the 2020 prefects

for adding this vibrancy to the

occasion. Thank you to all the

community members

who

attended

the

event.

Congratulations

all of our prize

winners but especially

It was great to see a near full

attendance at our meeting on Thursday

26th November, maybe it was because

Heather who has aged 10 years since

my last report offered to supply

afternoon tea to celebrate her 90th

Birthday, Well done Heather!

The meeting was opened by President

Lena who then recited “The Ode".

The Ladies who attended the masked

Masquerade dance at Opononi had a

wonderful time.

We hope you had a great and nostalgic

trip away Jan and Len.

We are joining the Waipu RSA Ladies

at Waipu for our Christmas Dinner on

Monday 7th December; we are

carpooling to make things easier for

members.

Also, Ladies just a reminder

Christmas Dinner will be held at the

club on Christmas Day, but you

must let Lena know on

4315034 if you would like to

attend. Cost $10. BE there at

11.30am.

It was lovely to have our Patron Fay

back with us Fay also won the raffle

Ideas for trips for next year were

mentioned one of them being the Rail

Trip at Dargaville.

Trish gave us an account on "20 ways

to tell we are getting Older" quite

hilarious. Speaking of age, the

Birthday Girls for this month were

Lena, Heather, Trish and Ann.

No Meeting in December, so we wish

everyone a Happy Christmas, and

Members we will see you on Thursday

28th January 2021 at 1.15pm at the

RSA

Clubrooms

Hakaru.

New

Members welcome also.

Kaiwaka Can has now been going just

over six years. That's a fair few

meetings, agendas, sets of minutes and

the rest. So, what has all this achieved?

Not as much as we hoped but more

than enough to keep us going. The

biggest step forward has been to see

many of the projects from the past now

clarified, time lined and in the care of a

project team.

So, the future??

One major project is to see foot

bridges next to each road bridge

giving access on the west side of

Kaiwaka from Caltex to Gateway

Motel. No crossing the highway!

The footbridges were proposed way

back in 2016, were part of the major

Kaiwaka Central project of 2018 and

have been foreshadowed in the

Township Improvement Plan since

2017.

2021 will see the footbridges

completed and also surrounding

attention to the landscape by the

southern bridge. One small fly in the

ointment has been that for some

reason, some Council officers have

proposed the footbridge by the

northern bridge be on the east side and

not the west. Rather strange when the

footpath that connects from the Cheese

Shop to McClean Park has always been

on the west. That was also the intention

of the Provincial Growth Funding

Council received from the Provincial

Growth Fund. Our aim has always

been to provide access right along that

western side and on to McClean Park,

giving

freedom

movement for visitors and

those working in the

clothing

and

kitchen

factories. The west side is

also where part of the

proposed

commercial

area under the Spatial

Plan will be located. And

in addition, there is

already access in the east

via

underpass

and

footpath on the bridge.

There is to be a public

drop-in meeting, 14th

December 4-7pm at the

Memorial Hall.

We urge you to think

about where those bridges

should go and if you want information

on the long term plans we have

proposed, get in touch and we will tell

you why. We still are not sure why an

eastern footbridge has been proposed

or how it will leave our long term

plans.

Good things happening

This year has seen some great new

additions to Kaiwaka Can, people with

enthusiasm, skills and a sense of

direction. To see the big picture

looking forward is pretty exciting and

we hope in the new year to host a

public meeting where everyone can

come and see this big picture. We also

believe there are more gifted people

yet to join as Kaiwaka Can is open to

anyone at any time.

On a personal note

I have told Kaiwaka Can I am stepping

down, at the very latest by April 2021

which is the annual meeting. It has

been a great ride with the group, some

real highs and some tough lows. I am

stepping down for a number of reasons,

some to do with age, but especially

because it is time for a new voice and a

new style. The vision is there. Let fresh

leaders pick it up and make it all

happen. I have been the only chairman

since we began. And I am happy to

leave it in good state with plenty to do.

Maybe you are part of that emerging

leadership team.

The greatest benefit for me personally

has been to live in a town like

Kaiwaka. We have grown to love it, to

enjoy the lifestyle and to get excited

about the future for it. Thank you

Kaiwaka Can. ~

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

The garden Pierre made. With mallows in flower. Pierre loves making

rock walls. He says it's like meditation. I tried to learn the art of wall

making. I stacked them up, went off to make lunch. When I came

back my wall had been pulled apart and redone. I was a bit peeved.

Pierre lost his English. No discussion. I just had to follow him. Very

grumpy me. That was a year ago. His wall is still doing its job.

Covid came. My 3-month holiday

in Europe disappeared. I ordered 7

tonnes of rocks in the winter of

rain, wind and chaos - 2020. A lot

of rocks moved. I get the

meditation. Thanks Pierre. It's

been a tough year. Pierre has spent

it in France. Lots of us have family

and friends overseas. And I don't

think we are out of the woods yet.

Still, it's not out of order to do a

blessing count. Despite Covid and

enforced isolation here we are in

our little slice of paradise. And it’s

not all due to the luck of being at

the end of the world. There were

decisions made. We put our

differences aside. Went for the

common good. We've all given up

something.

On the plus side: After a winter of

staying home my garden looks

better than ever, and all those rock

walls. Every wretched rock carried

by ‘moi’. Terry from Atlas had to

come and see what I was doing

with those truckloads of rocks! ~

COMMUNITY ACTION RID US OF PESTS

If possums, stoats and mynahs get up your

nose

, it will hearten you to hear that 14 folk in our

area have vowed to ramp up protection for vulnerable

species like kiwi.

Main speaker for the Pest Workshop at the Archie

Bull Hall on Saturday 14 November was Ngaire

Sullivan from Kiwi Coast Northland, pictured in Bugle 23, who (with Amy Kirk

of KCN and Paul Ralph from the Northern Regional Council) presented the

2020 Northland Pest Control Guidelines.

Ref. https://kiwicoast.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Northland-Pest-Control-Guidelines

Ngaire says communities are the key, showing that action by people on the

ground can achieve more at much less cost than top-down structures.

Big money can be spent on fences and maintenance to keep predators away but

keeping eyes peeled in our local areas does as well if not better.

On a Northland map she showed where numerous groups are working to reduce

pest species with plans to suit time and skills available to deal with threats. In

some areas these groups begin to overlap.

"Communities can drive and teach their own solutions."

As the groups grow in strength and experience, the threat of possums, stoats,

rats, rabbits, feral cats, uncontrolled dogs (and hedgehogs etcetera) to native

species fades.

Kaiwaka

Northland

Regional

Council’s furthest south township, and

signage to go up near the highway will

indicate Kaiwaka is where Northland’s

"Kiwi Coast" begins.

Ngaire Sullivan points out that we are

lucky in Kaiwaka to not have

naturalised ferrets - the top mustelid

and much larger than stoats and

weasels. But she also states that

"uncontrolled dogs are the worst"

killers of Kiwi chicks, 95% of which

die before the age of one although an

adult Kiwi bird can live around 50

years.

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

From the library team to you and yours, we

hope you have a happy and safe festive

season, and we look forward to seeing you in

the new year.

HOLIDAYS

The library will be open until 2pm on Wednesday 23

December, then closed for the holidays, and will reopen

at 10am on Wednesday 6 January 2021.

Any items borrowed from now until the holidays that would

normally be due back while we are closed will be

automatically extended to 6 January, so they don't go

overdue while we're closed. The after-hours returns slot will

be available if you want to return items while we're closed.

Do come in and stock up on reading material to see you

through the break, including books for the kids. Adult

library cards can borrow up to 40 items at a time, children's

cards can borrow up to 10 items at a time. Now there's a

challenge for you! ;-)

And if you do run out of things to read while we're closed,

don't forget our free online services. We have eBooks,

eAudiobooks, magazines and newspapers available. Go to

Enterprise* to find out more and contact me if you need

help getting started.

COMPETITION

To mark the launch of a new library bag for the district, we

have been given one to give away in a competition. Come

into the library and fill in an entry form before Wednesday

16 December 2020 to go into the draw.

We still have the older cotton bags for sale in the library,

$3.00 each.

SUMMER CATALOGUE & COMPETITION

Remember to pick up a copy of the new Summer Catalogue

next time you're in the library. It's full of excellent reading

suggestions, and there's a competition on the back page -

one for adults, one for children. You can also enter the

competition online - go to Enterprise* to find out more.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently I've been reading the

Innkeeper Chronicles by Ilona

Andrews. We have all 5 books in the

series on our shelves. "On the

outside, Dina Demille is the epitome

of normal. She runs a quaint

Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a

small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu

named Beast, and is a perfect

neighbour, whose biggest problem

should be what to serve her guests

for breakfast. But Dina is...different:

Her broom is a deadly weapon; her

Inn is magic and thinks for itself.

Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only

permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t

leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths

of millions and someone might shoot her on sight. Under

the circumstances, "normal" is a bit of a stretch for Dina."

This is one for lovers of fantasy and paranormal fiction.

Dina herself is a 'normal' human, who just happens to be

able to manipulate the magic that is all around. We also

meet a werewolf named Shaun, and vampires and other

creatures, who rather than being 'mutants', or some other

imagining you find in other stories, are actually aliens from

other parts of the universe. As I type this review, I'm deep

into book #2 and looking forward to the next 3. I'll be done

with them by the time you read this, they're not long books.

They're on the Rental Fiction shelves in the library.

See you in the library! ~Wendy

JESUS CAME TO BETHLEHEM, 2020 YEARS

AGO, TO BRING LOVE

to a lonely world

. He came not just

to Mary and Joseph and the crew - "but to everyone: the nice guys and the

ratbags … the winners and the losers … the hopeful and the hopeless … the

fearful, and the flops.

And, over the next few weeks, as the

Christmas spirit spreads and infects our age of

smartphones and space-stations, pandemics

and politics … HE COMES AGAIN.

So, here's a good question: HOW SHOULD

WE RESPOND?

Well … wise men got on their knees that first

Christmas Day.

And, in even the most far-flung corners of this

late great groaning planet, wise men, wise

women, wise parents and wise grandparents

still do!

From Thelma’s Scrapbook...

The man who invented the meringue was a

pastry chef called Gasparini. In 1720, he was

working in the Swiss town of Meiringen, where

he must of been inspired by the way most of

the town is covered with what looks like meringue for

most of the year; pretty whips of snow top everything.

Before Gaspirini’s brilliant experiment with baking, chefs

did whip egg whites, with whisks made from birch twigs,

and they served up the stiff foam to their dazzled

employers, but the crunchy, light, sweet lush treat that is

a meringue is thanks to a Swiss village baker.

Culinary historians traditionally credit Gaspirini with perfecting

the recipe and naming it, presumably after the town. ~ Ref.
