FROM ONE QSM TO ANOTHER
Congratulations John Bowmar!
John has been the Fire Chief in Kaiwaka for the past
16 years but has been actively involved in the brigade
since 1977. The QSM announced on New Year’s Day
is for services to Fire and Emergency New Zealand
and the community. He has been active in community
fundraising, including for the Northland Rescue
Helicopter Trust., supporting the local Civil Defence
team and has responded with his tractor to assist with
rescues in the community.
Pictured right is Mark Ottaway, QSM 2001 with
John Bowmar, QSM 2021 in a congratulations and
thank you action.
Mark and Pam’s Christmas Light raised $3380 of
donations for our local Fire Brigade. Pam and Mark
really enjoyed all the folk who visited their Christmas
fantasyland.
Our local Fire Brigade also wish to thank Ilia and
Eva of La Nonna, for their generous donation toward
safety equipment.

KISS THE GROUND
Friday 29 January, 7.30pm
‘
"Narrated
and
featuring
Woody
Harrelson, Kiss the Ground is an
inspiring and ground-breaking film that
reveals the first viable solution to our
climate crisis.
And reveals that, by regenerating the
world’s soils, we can completely and
rapidly stabilise Earth’s climate, restore
lost ecosystems and create abundant food
supplies. Using compelling graphics and
visuals, along with striking NASA and
NOAA footage, the film artfully
illustrates how, by drawing down
atmospheric carbon, soil is the missing
piece of the climate puzzle.”
EXHIBITION TENNIS
There are NZ representative Davis Cup players
coming to the Kaiwaka courts on Friday evening, 29
January, from 6-9pm to play exhibition tennis.
Corporate tables are being set up on the adjacent
courts with food and drinks included. Table of 6
costs $600 or $100 per person. This would suit the
people who normally travel to Auckland for the ASB
Classic or Heinekin Open but missed out this year
due to cancellation of the event. Some ground
admission will be available too. Great for youngsters
to see the level they need to aspire to.

KAIPARA DOG
TRAINING
2020 was an interesting year for
everyone and every organisation that
relies on face-to-face meetings –
Kaipara Dog Training Club was no
exception. Although the first lockdown
brought meetings to a sudden halt, the
second lockdown in Auckland also
meant that some key members of the
Club could not make it across the
border for weekly training sessions.
However, the Club was back to
business as usual come Term 4 with the
popular Canine Good Citizens Basics
classes full with young puppies and
their handlers, young and more mature!
PRIZE GIVING
The Club’s annual prize giving
ceremony was held in mid-December
and was attended by Canine Good
Citizens students and their dogs from
both Term 1 and Term 4.
The meeting commenced with some fun
games for the handlers to play with
their dogs, giving their dogs an
opportunity to try out new pieces of
equipment such as agility tunnels and
jumps, a simple Rally-O course and to
even have the opportunity of learning
how to pass through a gate in an orderly
fashion!
Following the games, the social theme
continued with food and chat which
preceded the award ceremony itself.
Awards were given, not just for
competition success, but also for most
improved dog and handler and service
to the Club.
CANINE
GOOD
CITIZENS
BASICS
Canine Good Citizens Basics classes
(also fondly called “Puppy classes”)
will recommence on Wednesday, 10th
February at 6pm for registration and
introductions and will continue for a
further 7 weeks at 6pm. The course
costs $100 for 8 lessons. Your puppy
should have completed its first set of
vaccinations before starting the
course which includes basic
commands like sit, down and
walking to heel, as well as subjects
such as husbandry, legal obligations
and dog etiquette when out and
about. The course is completed with
a simple assessment of the content
that has been covered.
MEETING, MUSTER
There will also be a meeting on
Wednesday, 3rd February at 5pm
for a start of term “Muster”, where
people who are interested in taking
competition and dog manners
courses can come along and sign up
for the activities that interest them
including agility (at various levels)
and obedience.

KAIWAKA
WEATHER
Wishing a Happy New
Year to you all.
So this is Summer! You wanted it so
here it is. Another two maybe 3 months
of this hot dry weather is predicted.
Well this report is about last year It
takes a bit of getting used to writing
2021 if you are not using the date every
day. The Brynderwyn Waterfall is very
slow already although it was not very
fast in the first place.
In December we hit 35deg on the 14th
and 30deg on the 19th and 20th. We
went from cold to moderate and then
hot and the winds were similar. From
light to moderate to strong. The wind
did not settle in any one quarter for
very long. We had to start watering the
garden. Production was a bit slow but
is great to have your own produce.
Homegrown is much healthier and tast-
ier. Santa withstood winds-rain-very
hot conditions and lots of toots. He will
be back later this year. The wind was
grateful although the winds dried it up
rather quickly.
December 2020 we had 88mm and
2019 173mm.
December 2020 we had rain on 5
days and 2019 on 10days.
Our total rainfall for 2020 was
1495mm and 2019 was 1234mm.
Our driest December since 1987 was
1994 with 04mm and the wettest was
2014 with 211mm.
Our driest 12 months of any year was
1994 with 892mm and the wettest was
1990 with 1947mm.
Derek from Hakaru Valley recorded for
the year 2020 - 1199mm. In that year
they had 7 months of under 100mm
rain per month. The lowest rainfall
reading for 12 months was in 2015 with
1061mm. The highest reading was in
1989 with 1916mm.
Q. What has feathers but no wings? A.
A pillow.
Wishing you all a safe New Year. Do
not get lax about this Covid Virus. We
do not want anymore Lockdowns. ~Bev

Kaiwaka Can met last Wednesday,
great attendance with four new people.
Newcomers have been joining up right
through the past year – and staying!
Our biggest decision was to appoint a
new interim chairman, to be confirmed
in April at the annual meeting. David
Wright has taken over and will bring a
new voice and style to the task. David
grew up here, farmed here, has worked
away for some time but never really left
so he knows people and history and the
community. I have been chairing for six
years, six roller coaster years, six years
with some tough times, some major
setbacks as funds disappear or major
blockages especially in compliance and
approval have come from...same sort of
places as in the past.
A NEW NAME
We are also looking at a new name,
rebranding, restructuring to give a more
powerful drive from a stronger
executive. The new name is needed
partly because it has been the delight of
a few to sling mud from the sidelines
and mud often sticks to a name. Such as
the nickname “Kaiwaka Can't.” OK, we
don't mind criticism, but it becomes
more productive face to face and as part
of a cooperative desire to move
forward.
PROJECTS
So, what have we
achieved?
The
footbridge project is just
waiting for its final
announcement
and
timescale.
In
the
beginning 18 months of
work
with
NZTA
produced a single speed
limit through Kaiwaka,
higher than we wanted
but still an improvement,
along with the speed
signs, a safety zone and a few trees,
way less than we were promised but we
continue to work on it. The welcome
sculptures are all designed, sited,
consulted on and have approval in
principle from
NZTA, just a
small matter of
32 regulations
to meet! Lights are coming back, the
community garden is worth a look, the
playground is well used...
VISION
The best thing though is that after
working for years to be heard, years of
creative planning and listening to the
community, there is a real vision of
what is sitting there ready to do, a
vision for a Kaiwaka community way
different to the weedy, disconnected,
neglected place visitors see now.
There is a place for everyone, a place
for a great range of skills and
backgrounds, things to get really
excited about. Council knows we are
there. We have a great map which
shows what is there to be done and
where all the action is going to take
place. We plan to find a place in the
community for it to be on permanent
display.
MOVING ON
So, the end of one chapter of our
history, the start of another. Do I have
regrets? Yes, of course. I would love to
have seen much more completed, but I
am excited at the
vision there is for
Kaiwaka, this beautiful
little town of delights!
Over six years we have
pushed a huge boulder
up the hill to the top.
Now fresh muscle and
fresh energies will
push it over the top and
we can watch it all
begin to happen.
Thanks for the ride
Kaiwaka
Can,
bumpier, more up and
down, harder, trickier than expected.
But thanks for the ride and good luck to
the next driver. ~ Derek Christensen

NEW YEAR, NEW NAME, NEW VOICE,
AND EXCITING PROJECTS AHEAD
‘THE DEN’
Bickerstaffe Road, Maungaturoto
Welcome to 2021 from all the volunteers at ‘The Den’.
Also thank you to all the supporters for their efforts during 2020.
As we move into a new year a decision has been made to alter the operating hours
and days of ‘The Den’. The new hours are: 9 am (0900hrs) to 3 pm (1500hrs)
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Now closed on
Sunday and Monday.
We would also like to remind you all that for us to operate efficiently and in order
to maximise the benefits and returns to the community, we ask that you ensure
that the goods that are offered to us are reasonable for resale. Unfortunately, in the
past we have had goods offered that we have been required to dump due to the
state and condition of the goods being of no value.
As we know ‘The Den’ has been successful in raising funds for various projects in
the area and to this end we would like to continue. However, a venture such as
this requires people to maintain the level of operation. If you have time and would
like to contribute, please come down to ‘The Den’ and meet our great, and jovial
team of hard-working volunteers. Maybe you have a skill that would enhance our
services which we would be glad to hear about.
Looking forward to seeing you all in 2021. ~ Peter Matheson

What’s in store for your
health and wellbeing in 2021?
While we have no control over the
extent of the pandemic worldwide, here
at home we know we can do our bit to
keep ourselves, our families and the rest
of the community safe – tried and true
messages of good hygiene, tracking
your movements and contact with
others and keeping your bugs to
yourself.
Life throws us curve balls usually when
we least expect it , and again we can’t
control when these happen, but we can
be more prepared for these so we cope
better and are able to “bounce back
better”, as well as enjoying life more by
finding satisfaction and joy in our day
to day lives.
Here are some well researched ways to
build your life satisfaction and
resilience. I know they all sound very
obvious and straightforward, but they
are practices, so just like getting better
at anything they require practice.
Focus on the things you can do
something about.
Practice gratitude – count your
blessings – as often as you can, but
particularly in the morning and at night.
This can help you feel better even when
things are looking grim.
Keep your sense of humour
intact – learn to see the funny side. If
you find yourself taking yourself too
seriously – find ways to lighten up.
Seek a higher perspective from
the perceived problem or challenge –lift
your sights so you can see a
bigger picture.
Small indulgences are
good for the soul – be very,
very good and kind to
yourself, especially if you are feeling
fearful of the future. You deserve
reassurance so give that gift to yourself.
Cultivate flexibility – whenever
we can’t see a way through, there is
always a solution just waiting in the
wings to be discovered. Stay open to
miracles.
Practice
generosity
with
others. As emotions run high in times
that provoke fear, give of yourself even
more and don’t take anything
personally.
Keep connected. One of things that
can bring us down is the feeling of
isolation. Build and maintain safe
relationships that uplift you.
Walk. Walking is one of the best
physical
affirmations of
moving
forward there is. As you walk, affirm to
yourself “With every step I take I am
moving forward in my life towards
more and more wellbeing” or whatever
resonates with you.
Pause
and
consciously
breathe. Bring yourself into the
present moment if you find yourself
fearing for the future – it isn’t here so
there is nothing you can do with it.
With kind permission to share from
author, facilitator and coach Amanda
Fleming.
And from me -
Smile and be
grateful for each day.
Stay well, Libby Jones

Kia Ora Church
Happy new year to you all in this new
season of 2021. I hope you all had a
great break and are ready for what the
Lord has instore for this year.
As we look back at 2020, it was a year
with great challenges for many.
With the Covid pandemic, economy
challenges and the changes happening
in our country and the world, we all
found great strength in trusting in the
Lord through that season.
This year I believe is going to be an
amazing year of acceleration for our
church.
As you are aware, I recently began full
time ministry for the church, which has
been a huge blessing for me and my
family. Although this role comes with
its challenges, it is also rewarding to
now have the time to focus on pastoring
including vision and planning, teaching
and equipping.
Last year our church had many great
moments including many who stepped
up to serve in our church in different
ministries. This year we want to
continue in training and discipleship
with foundation studies, deliverance
ministry and training activation events.
These run-in cycles throughout the year
which are repeated after a cycle has
ended.
We also want to focus this year on
getting our house in order; ourselves,
family and church.
It is crucial right now to be in
alignment with God at these times.
To start the year, we have a few
powerful ministries visiting to empower
the Church. Make sure to save these
dates in your calendar.
March 14th, we have Aaron Harding
(singer / song writer for album "Kia
Kaha" including "Tuhia
April 4th, we have Richard Brunton,
author of "The Blessing".
May 16th, we have prophets David and
Greta Peters.
I believe as a church, now is the time to
rise up more than ever before.
Now is the time to stand strong in our
faith, keeping our eyes on the Lord.
I believe He has bigger and greater
things for us this year
including the harvest, so let's
get ready to step into all that
God has for us!
Thanks, and blessings,
Pastor Tawhiri Littlejohn

Special note for Oneriri
and Pukenui Road users
- the Northland rail line
between Whangārei and
Swanson
in
West
Auckland has re-opened.
This photo was taken by
Judy as she travelled out of
Pukenui Road and had to
wait for the train to pass -
this is looking over the
valley to SH 1, with
Kaiwaka just to the north - a
reminder for folk to always
look for trains before
crossing the tracks.
Update: KiwiRail has begun
receiving some of the
containers unloaded from
the second ANL vessel
Tianjin Bridge, berthed at Northport. As the containers are unloaded they are
trucked to the rail line in Whangārei and taken to Auckland by train, while the
rest of the containers will be moved south by road to their destination.
The project to improve the North Auckland line
began a year ago. It was
funded by the Government’s Provincial Growth Fund, the work included
replacing five bridges and lowering tracks in 13 tunnels in just seven months, to
allow the passage of hi-cube shipping containers in and out of Northland by
rail.
All the new and rehabilitated structures have clearance through the tunnels for
electrification to be added later, which helps to further improve the network’s
resilience over time.
“At its peak, more than 600 people were working on the project at one time. In
addition to the new bridges and improved tunnels, the team laid 30,000 new
sleepers and nearly 63,000m
3
of ballast to provide a more secure base for the
track,” says KiwiRail Group Chief Executive Greg Miller.

On the 15th December, President
Rodney Tysoe welcomed a happy
bunch to the last night of Rotary for the
year. Once again we were well fed by
the DOE group from the High School.
We have been very fortunate to receive
awesome meals each Tuesday, courtesy
of not only this group but also the
Netballers. We appreciate the effort the
parents and youngsters make to provide
us with a varied menu each week and as
a result we are able to help them with
their fundraising.
PRESIDENT’S SCHOLARSHIPS
Highlight of the evening was the
presentation
of
the
President’s
Scholarships ($1,000) to Quinitin
Brown and Maggie Hames as President
Rodney found they both provided
excellent applications and could not
separate them. We are sure to hear more
from these young people in the future.
Our puzzles on the table which created
a great deal of interaction were some
Christmas
dingbats
(always
a
challenge) and 30 car logos.
SENIOR AFTERNOON TEA
The senior afternoon tea went very well
and Maura’s singers excelled in their
presentations. It is great to see a variety
of ages being willing to step up and
perform in such a manner. A real treat.
We were also visited by Winnie the
Pooh which was an added bonus.
PAPAROA SEAT
We have finally been able
to get the builders of the
seat (pictured right) outside
the dairy in Paparoa
together
for
a
photo
opportunity. Thank you
very much to Trevor
Rintoul who provided the
timber and to Noel and
Bryan who built it. I am
sure many people will be
grateful for it in the future.
NEW CAR
As mentioned previously
we now have a new car for
our driver mentoring and
we are in the process of changing
providers as Te Roroa is no longer
operating. However, we have a new
administrator in the form of People
Potential in Whangarei so we are able
to continue to operate as previously. If
you have recently applied to be
mentored and have not heard from us
please let Eileen know so the
application can be followed through
(021 142 0357).
PIROA FALLS PATH
We are still trying to decide the best
way forward for repairs at Piroa Falls
so your path to this wonderful feature
maybe impeded for a little time to
come. The heavy rain of several months
ago has really presented us with a
problem. We have consulted with DOC
and believe we know the best way to do
the repairs but this will take some time.
2021
We are hoping to have a District 9910
Picnic Day around the 20th March at
the Kauri Museum. This will not only
provide a chance for Rotarians to get
together but also give us a way of
promoting this fantastic resource that is
on our doorstep.
As we finish one year we look forward
to the exciting plans we have put in
place for next year. Should you wish to
join us, please don’t hesitate to get in
touch. ~ Eileen, 021 142 0357

BOOK REVIEW
I've read several books since you heard from me last.
Uppermost in my mind as I type is the book I finished this
morning. The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi is the first
book in The Interdependency series and was an excellent
read. I'm looking forward to starting the sequel when I get
home this afternoon.
"In the far future, humanity has left Earth to create a glorious
empire. Now this interstellar network of worlds faces disaster - but
can three individuals save their
people?
"The empire's outposts are utterly
dependent on each other for
resources, a safeguard against war,
and a way in which rulers can exert
control. This relies on extra-
dimensional pathways between the
stars, connecting worlds. But this
'Flow' is changing course, which
could plunge every colony into fatal
isolation.
"A scientist will risk his life to inform
the empire's ruler. A scion of a
Merchant House stumbles upon
conspirators seeking power. And the
new Empress of the Interdependency must battle lies, rebellion and
treason. Yet as they work to save a civilization on the brink of
collapse, others have very different plans..."
Scalzi is fast becoming a new favourite author of mine. We
have his Lock In series on our shelves as well. The
Collapsing Empire and its sequel The Consuming Fire are
currently on our Dargaville shelves, until April.
