KAIWAKA SCHOOL OLD PUPIL VISIT

Alwyn Judd - 91 years old.

Last Thursday, 4 February, we had

the pleasure to meet Alywn and hear

about his life and times at Kaiwaka

School and of his family in the

Kaiwaka Community.

Sharlene Tornquist, Kaiwaka School

principal, introduced Alwyn, his

wife Margaret and his daughter

Lynette and son-in-law. Pictured

right: Sharlene, Alwyn, Margaret.

Alwyn’s family, the Judds and

Stewarts go back to Kaiwaka’s first

settlers, but Alwyn and his siblings

were born in the South Island then

the family returned to farm again in

Kaiwaka and attended Kaiwaka School and Maungaturoto

High School. He recalls Mr Prouting, then principal,

coming into the classroom and announcing in 1941, ‘Japan

has entered the war!’ Actually, folk will remember his

older brother, Eric,- Eric served in Fiji as a mechanic

fixing planes in WWII; he returned to run his Kaiwaka

Motors business here in Kaiwaka (where Best Pets and

AllSortz are) . Alwyn went to train as a cabinet maker in

Auckland

Alwyn’s first paid job was at school - emptying the ‘dunny

cans’ with Owen Bowmar down under the wattle trees -

they were paid 6d a week. He also remembers the ‘new’

school - the two room school pictured on page 13. And he

found riding a bike was faster than riding his horse to

school. He remembers, the opening of the Main Road

north over the Brynderwyn - it was a long walk from their

home and back!

If you are lucky enough to have a copy of Desmond

Stewart’s book ‘Skye to Timber Mountain, the Journey of

the Kaiwaka Stewarts’, you can read of Alwyn’s ties to

Kaiwaka’s history. Alwyn’s grandmother, Flora Stewart,

was the daughter of Angus Stewart, who first viewed his

Pukekaroro farm in December 1859. They settled in 1863 -

Flora was born in 1864 ( she was noted to be on Kaiwaka

School roll in 1877) . Flora married Thomas Judd in 1887

and began married life on ‘Pukekaroro’ farm next to

Gibbons Rd. - Thomas’ father, Charles, had purchased this

farm in 1861. Flora and Thomas Judd’s 3rd born, Hylton

(Alwyn’s father) - trained as a dairy factory manager. His

first job was at the Hakaru Dairy factory; he then went

south still with the dairy factories and then married Ethel.

The Judd family moved back to Kaiwaka in 1938.

PUKERARO:

‘When Ngapuhi landed at Mangawhai, some canoes came up the inlet which runs up to the Waipu

road, but some were left just inside the heads, at the picnic ground, in case they had to retreat when the tide was out. The

two parties advanced into the hills, with scouts looking for the best way to the Otamatea. They saw seagulls coming over

Pukekaroro (puke -hill, karoro - seagull) so knew that the river was there. They climbed Pukekaroro for a view of the

country. Even today there are remains of a Maori Pa on top of the mountain. Battles were fought all over these hills,

including Kaiteke and Kaitara. Many canoes were made at Pukekaroro, one of the best places for good long kauri trees.

One canoe was brought down the Hakaru but never reached the sea.’ Today as you look at the mountain, the steep ﬂanks

of the eroded crater are covered with regenerating kauri trees lifting their heads high on the skyline, looking much as it

always has. This was not the situation in 1903 when there was a disastrous ﬁre resulting in most of the bush being burnt

off. Re-growth soon began and by 1952 the mountain was richly covered in small native bush and young kauri “rickers".

In that year the Government decided that the mountain

was a signiﬁcant icon and should become a reserve. The

various owners were approached (the Stewarts included)

and all agreed to sell their land on the mountain back to

the Crown at three pounds an acre. There were about 207

acres in total, and settlement was completed in September

1954.

WEATHER

The children are back at

school so take a bit of care on the

roads.

Welcome to you all. Dry, Dry and

getting drier. Looking at the

Brynderwyn Waterfall on the 2nd of

February it was hard to tell if there was

any water coming down the waterfall.

As I type out this forecast. January was

a slow start to our summer. We

welcomed 2021 with a fine partly

cloudy day with a hot moderate

southerly day followed by rain, rain,

rain the next day, and welcome it was

too. We were fortunate enough to get

the rain as not all folk in the area did

get it. Very local as you would say. My

weather reports come to you from our

home 1km North of Kaiwaka. The

weather varies so much, especially the

rain from here to Kaiwaka Township

and 1km South of Kaiwaka. The rest of

the month was a good mixture with not

much rain. Of course, we had a lot of

wind and partly cloudy, kept most of

the heat down. In saying that we

reached 35deg and a bit lower as I

believe it would have been a bit higher

on the one or two days we were away.



Well for January 2021 at our house

we had 100mm and for 2020 we had

10mm rain.



We had rain on 8 days for 2021 and

for 2020 we had rain on 3 days.



Our driest January since 1987 was

2013 and 2020 both with 10mm rain

and the wettest January since 1987

was1989 with 343mm.



Our driest first month of this year

was as above and the wettest first

month this year was as above.

Please be kind to your animals and

water them well.

“First snail says, I have to cross the

road.” Second snail says, “Be careful,

there is a bus due in an hour.”

Take care out there. Slip Slop and Slap.

~ Bev

NOTE from NIWA:

Although temperatures for the month

whole

were

generally

unremarkable, a very warm air mass

originating in Australia combined with

westerly Foehn winds to produce

widespread record and near-record

temperatures across eastern New

Zealand from 26-28 January. In

Ashburton, a blistering 39.3°C was

recorded on 26 January. This was New

Zealand’s

2nd-hottest

January

temperature on record, surpassed only

by 40.0°C at Timaru on 22 January

1908.

THE DAY

SHE FELT

LIKE A

QUEEN

The postman said to Mrs Vine,

“Now, who has sent you a Valentine?’

But Mrs Vine just shook her head,

I really cannot think”, she said.

“Whatever’s this?” her daughter

cried,

It’s many years since father died.

You are much too old to have a beau,

But if you have I ought to know!”

The next-door neighbour seemed

quite vexed,

“A Valentine! Whatever next!

You’re dark horse, Mrs V.

Who can this strange admirer be?”

The story spread from door to door,

“Why didn’t we find out before?

We never had the slightest sign

That someone fancied Mrs Vine!”

Questions echoed down the street,

What sort of menfolk does she meet?

The butcher? The insurance man?

The lad who drives the grocer’s van?

The meter reader seemed quite nice -

Some looked at their husbands

twice!

Mrs Vine was most amused

To see her neighbours so confused

And chuckled to herself with glee -

“It was well worth the 30p.”

The Feast of Saint Valentine was

established by Pope Gelasius I in AD

496 to be celebrated on February 14 in

honour of Saint Valentine of Rome,

who died on that date in AD 269. The

day became associated with romantic

love in the 14th and 15th centuries

when notions of courtly love

flourished, apparently by association

with the "lovebirds" of early spring. In

18th-century England, it grew into an

occasion in which couples expressed

their love for each other by presenting

flowers, offering confectionery, and

sending greeting cards (known as

"valentines"). Valentine's Day symbols

that are used today include the heart-

shaped outline, doves, and the figure of

the winged Cupid. Since the 19th

century, handwritten valentines have

given way to mass-produced greeting

cards. Ref. Wikipedia

OUR VERY BEST

WISHES TO

MARTHA!

Recently,

Martha

Nathan

celebrated her 90th birthday at a

wonderful gathering at Te Pounga

Marae, Oneriri.

Sheryl Botica presented Martha

with a NZWRAC lapel pin on

behalf the NZ Women's Royal

Army Corp Assn.

Now we are in February,

the hottest driest month

of the year.

You and your garden

should be reaping the

benefits of all that work

done in winter. The right plant

choice for your situation and mulch,

mulch, mulch.

After last summer's drought I was in

grief. My garden and years of work

gone. I couldn't face it. Poor Les and

our French guests removed the dead.

All was not lost. There were

survivors. And after researching

plants suited to our changing climate,

I've got a new plant palette.

Including plants native to Australia,

the Mediterranean, south west USA

and parts of Africa.

This planting, pictured left, has been

in 8 months. Sedum white flowers.

Santolina, iris yellow flower, grasses,

perennial

cornflower,

koromiko

lovely white flowers, and Bromeliads

under the tree. In a west facing

border with solid clay and lime rock.

Anyone living round here knows

what I mean.

And don't forget to mulch.

OTAMATEA

REPERTORY

As many of you know, the COVID-19

lockdown caused the cancellation of

our 2020 production of 'Seussical Jnr'.

So here we go again - the 2021

will succeed.

We are going to start at the beginning

again - all parts will need to be re-

auditioned.

We would like to run a group audition

on Saturday 20 February 1pm to 4pm.

And then have our first get-together for

handing out materials, measuring etc

on 21 February 1pm to 4pm.

As an indication, rehearsals will be on

Wednesday evenings from 6.30pm

until 7.30pm (little kids) and until

8.30pm for older ones, and also

Sundays 1 - 4pm

A rehearsal schedule will be provided

of course, if you are successful in

joining the cast.

Dates to be confirmed by the Copyright

Holder.

Opening night on Friday 30 April

(which is the final Friday of the school

holidays.) ‘Seussical Jnr’ is over an

hour long and will be performed 8

times - dates and times next time.

‘THE LIMINAL SPACE’ by Jacquie McRae

‘

Whispers in the market square, that William is not

who he says he is, travel fast in a small village. They say

he skinny dips and talks to trees. It’s true he was once a

doctor, but now, he only prescribes books - for Emily,

Marco and James, whose lives become entangled with

his. They’ve all been thrown into a liminal space and

can no longer stay as they are. This is a tale about the

power of stories - especially the ones we tell ourselves.’

Jacquie McRae’s new book, The Liminal Space,

will be launched at Bennetts of Mangawhai on

Wednesday 10th February at 5.30pm. All are

welcome.

Jacquie, a former Oneriri Peninsula resident and now

Te Arai, would like to give a copy of ‘The Liminal

Space’ to one of our Kaiwaka Bugle readers - email

the kaiwakabugle@kaiwaka.co.nz with the name of

her book and be in to win a copy of Jacquie’s book.

Jacquie wrote an earlier novel for young adults, The Scent of Apples, which

received a Gold at the Independent Publisher Awards in 2012. Her short stories

have appeared in several collections - pictured below.

As part of the community projects for

the PAINT IT RED Rugby World Cup

2011 a number of locals worked on

making a safe way to cross SH1

The photo below from Kaiwaka Bugle

23/8/2011, shows the forming of the

path on west of highway SH!.

The following is part of the

accompanying article:

“KAIWAKA PLANTING … for our

children, our visitors and ourselves. I

would like to make particular mention of

those who generously supported the

walkway with their expertise and

sponsorship:

Kauri Park Nurseries – For the generous donation

of the plants for the walkway; Timber-World

(Warkworth) – for their kind donation and supply

of wood for the steps; Parker Transport – for their

generous donation of transport and limestone; B &

L Ferguson – for the transport they kindly provided;

Atlas Quarry – for the top metal on the walkway;

Topuni Forestry Products – for their significant

contribution of mulch around the plants; Te Hana

Nursery – for the planting necessities; Pete

Worsfold – for a planting plan to guide and shape

the landscape; Mark Hodgetts for the structural

scraping and earth works ; Grant Hyndman – for

the improvement of the Oneriri Bank; Tim Magill -

for the steps, table and construction advice.

A special thanks to the project team that

met, planned and got on to facilitate this

for our community in particular Bianca

Hartley and Dave Waetford.

Finally to all of those that helped on the

14th August for our planting day both on

site and from the background with juice,

home baking, hot chips and sausages. It

provided a refreshing demonstration of the

energy, commitment and support of our

community and how a small group of

thoughtful and committed people can

change our world. ~ Many thanks, Wayne

Blissett – Walkway Co-ordinator

Kaiwaka Bugle 4/9/2012

MURAL DEDICATION: Saturday 25

August Rau Morgan led the dedication and

karakia for the blessing of the wonderful

mural at the Kaiwaka Bridge walkway. The

blessing was given by William Taurua,

Matua, and Tony Hargreaves recalled some

of the bridge’s history.

Local artist Joe Paikea, pictured below,

worked with the youth of Kaiwaka to

create messages of whanau and unity. The

river is protected by guardians assuring

safety and protection for those that use the

walkway. Joe said, "The words ‘Ko ihu

karaiti ki mua i te hara’ put simply mean

‘Christ before crime’ and ‘Katou tatou’ is

‘All are one’. The heart is the family, the

blue is aroha reaching out, and mother and

father at each side.”

Deborah Harding (Te Uri o Hau CEO) and

Fay Armstrong (Social arm TUOH) both

spoke encouragingly about the work done.

The dedication marked the next stage in

this community project.

The community walkway project kicked

off last September as part of the ‘Paint it

Red’ campaign and has continued to

progress. This phase of the project was

supported by Te Uri o Hau drawing on

community funding from MSD.”

SIGNAGE 2021

to the underpass walkway, but sadly

they don’t seem to be highly visible.

From the Otamatea High School Principal, Rachel Clothier-Simmonds

~‘our provisional NCEA results for 2020 have recently been received and are

once again very impressive. Here they are in comparison to the national

averages and similar schools (decile 4 - 7 averages).



Year 11 NCEA Level 1: OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL 89.5%; NATIONAL

AVE. 70.2%; DECILE 4 - 7 AVE.74.9%



Year 12 NCEA Level 2: OHS 90.5%; NATIONAL AVERAGE 79.1%;

DECILE 4 - 7 AVERAGE 49.6%

Congratulations to all the students who have worked extremely hard to secure

these results. The teachers also deserve acknowledgement for their part in

ensuring that our students are set up to succeed and be ‘Ready for the World’.

Start of the 2021 academic year: We’ve had a wonderful start to the 2021

academic year. On Wednesday, 3 February, our year 13 students and year 12

prefects participated in a leadership training day where they considered what

contribution they will make this year. On Thursday all new students and new

staff were officially welcomed to the school with a powhiri. They then spent the

day learning how we operate as a school community. On Friday all of our

students returned to school and were into regular classes by period 3. The

assembly hall was full, with 130 new students and many returning students.

Our school roll is looking very healthy and every day we have been enrolling

more students into the school.

Year 7 students and prefects head off to camp at Otamatea Marae on Tuesday,

9 February, for their start of year camp. We wish them all the best.

Swimming Sports: We are looking forward to a fantastic day of competition

and fun. Students should come prepared with suitable swimwear, a good hat,

sunscreen and a water bottle. This is a mufti day; therefore, students can dress

in iwi colours and themes .’

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

SUMMER READING CHALLENGE

Congratulations to our library members who have won

prizes in the district's Summer Reading Challenge! Your

prizes will be at the library soon, and I will be in touch to

let you know when they're here.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently

I've

read

the

Sean

Devereaux series by Ben Sanders -

(1) The Fallen, (2) By Any Means, and

(3) Only the Dead. Sean is a detective

at the Auckland Central police station.

He's single, in his 30s, and doesn't

always do what his superiors tell him

to do. Aided by his good friend John

Hale,

ex-police

private

investigator.

As well as the good stories, I like that

Sanders gives good descriptions of the

journeys taken through the city - for this ex-Aucklander I

could follow it in my head, street by street, a lot of the time

as the areas are familiar to me. Like the DCI Banks novels

by Peter Robinson, we also get to hear about the music

being played throughout, which I like, too, though the tastes

here are not as eclectic.

All three books in this series are in the district, the first two

on our Dargaville shelves until April, and the third can be

ordered in for you.

See you in the library! ~Wendy

MANGAWHAI

ARTISTS

FIBONACCI: MATH

AND MAGIC

This new exhibition is opening at Mangawhai Artists Inc

gallery on 25 February, 6pm, at 45 Moir St. Mangawhai.

You may not know it, but you have seen the patterns of the

Fibonacci sequence hundreds of times - patterns occur in an

amazing variety of places, in art and nature, mathematics

and in science. The Fibonacci sequence is an endless series

of numbers where any number is the addition of the

previous two numbers, starting with 0 and 1.

The classic Fibonacci spiral has been accorded spiritual

status by many cultures. Often it appears as both clockwise

and counter clockwise spirals on the same form.

In this exhibition, four artists explore this blueprint for

growth.:

Mandy Thomsett-Taylor forged a pictorial interior

landscape in which anything (and everything) can be

included, and that celebrates its own logic.

Bridget Mintoft has always been interested in the subject

of perception. How is it we “see” things? Bridget invites

the viewer to look more closely, to make meaning from

what may seem unfathomable.

Pauline Mann learnt of Fibonacci through the works of

Rudolf Steiner, Goethe, John Wilkes, Euclid and Phidias,

and Johannes Kepler, while teaching art at the Steiner

school in Wellington. Slumping and Fusing Bullseye glass

has become her main medium as it expresses the light,

darkness and colour interplay that comes through it with

movement, changing constantly, recreating itself as does

life itself.

Nicola Everett has

always

been

interested

the

patterns created by

nature. She would

like people to come

away

from

the

exhibition with a

curiosity for looking

more carefully at the

complexity,

simplicity and rhythm

of patterns in nature,

to observe and consider what is often overlooked.
