grateful for the support the community folk

are giving us.

as people haven’t been able to find us.

We are at 4 Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Road, right

next to UBeauty and the Kaiwaka War

of paraphernalia - absolutely worth a visit!

KISS THE GROUND

Friday 26 February,

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,

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.”

Author  H.  Jackson  Brown  Jr  quipped,
‘Talent  without  discipline  is  like  an
octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty
of movement, but you never know if it’s
going  to  be  forward,  backwards  or
sideways.’

If  you  know  you  have  talent  and  you’ve
seen  a  lot  of  motion  but  little  concrete
results, you may lack self-discipline. Look at
last week's schedule.
How much of your time did  you devote to
regular,  disciplined  activities?  Did  you  do
anything to grow and improve yourself’? If
you have been putting these things off and
telling  yourself  that  you’ll  do  them  later,
you need to work on your self-discipline.
A nursery in Canada displays this sign on its
wall:  ‘The  best  time  to  plant  a  tree  is
twenty-five  years  ago...The  second-best
time is today.’ So, starting today - discipline

yourself. Why? Because: (1) There’s a price
to  pay  to  reach  the  next  level.  American
playwright  Sidney  Howard  remarked:  ‘One
half of knowing what you want is knowing
what  you  must  give  up  before  you  get
it.’ (2) Be willing to start with small things.
At  first  your  gains  will  be  small,  but  they
will grow. The difference between the gold
medal winner and the other contestants is
often just hundredths of a second.
(3)  Get  into  the  right  environment.  Since
improvement always requires some degree
of  risk  and  failure,  pick  a  place  where
growth

and

experimentation

are

encouraged.
(4) Believe that you can always do it better
Anything  you’ve  done  in  a  particular  way
for a  given amount  of time, can always be
done better.
Ref. Word For Today, Rhema Media Inc.

When it comes

to joining together to make our

neighbourhoods

, our Aotearoa, and

our world better, one of the most

important things we can do is to find

out what we have in common. When

we discover what we have in common

and link-in with those people, it helps

us make connections and build lasting

relationships that feel just like sunshine.

MISSION

Kaiwaka Can's mission this year to do a

bit of sunbathing...better linking in and

connecting with other local community

groups, businesses, and residents so we

can all work together in our shared

vision for a more connected Kaiwaka.

Our collective voice must sing to the

tune of what the wider Kaiwaka

community wants always, and we've

taken some steps toward expanding our

reach.

FACEBOOK

We have a new Facebook page to

connect with a wider audience. On this

page we'll be posting project updates

and lots of pictures of our amazing

helpers in action. Search @kaiwakacan

if you'd like to keep in touch via

Facebook. And our friends over at

Mangawhai Focus have generously

given us a regular column to reach

more letterboxes and prospective

helpers - thanks Julia and Co., ka mau

te wehi!

The welcome sculptures are still very

much in the works with a few

compliance hoops to jump through first.

If you get a kick out of crossing items

off lists, then we'd love to hear from

you. Divide the task and multiply the

success – let's get these iconic artworks

over the line team.

Everyone is welcome at Kaiwaka Can.

If you'd like to get involved with a

community project and/or think you

have some skills that might help us

push one of our projects forward,

please get in touch.

COUNCILLOR’S

COMMENT

with

Kaiwaka-Mangawhai

Ward

Councillor Jonathan Larsen

Kaiwaka footbridges

get official go ahead -

and they’re on the

West!

Last

week

Council

approved

the

procurement plan for the

much-anticipated

Kaiwaka footbridges.

The very well attended community

engagement session on the bridges last

year confirmed overwhelming local

preference for both of the bridges being

on the western side of town linking

both sides via underpasses and through

to McClean Park.

last

week’s

meeting,

the

procurement plan was still silent

regarding which side of town the

bridges would be. I moved an alteration

to the wording to insert “on the western

side of State Highway One” for each

bridge, to ensure there could be no

variation from the assurances that had

been received. This motion was readily

seconded and ultimately carried.

The total allocated budget is $750,000.

Council will be using a fixed price

tender approach with a budget of

$600,000

for

the

design

and

construction of the bridges and related

footpaths. The first priority will be the

two bridges, followed by the underpass

of the northern road bridge to link to

Gibbons Rd and Kaiwaka Four Square.

The balance is comprised of $50,000

spent on investigation and concept

design, with the remainder as

contingency.

The scheduled programme from here

is - May 2021 Award contract

July 2021 Obtain all consents.

August 2021 Commence

construction

February 2022 Construction

complete

Thanks

everyone

who

has

contributed to this project from its

genesis as a concept, keeping the vision

on track as a western linkage, and now

through to implementation becoming a

reality.

can call Council on 0800 727 059 24 hours

EXOTIC CREATURES AND

AIRBRUSH

Mangawhai Artists Gallery from

11th - 24th March

This exhibition features artwork from and Elena

Nikolaeva and Colin Unkovich.

Elena Nikolaeva considers herself to be an

experimenter, blending, mixing, transforming

elements of the traditional arts with non-artistic

materials, creating quirky mixed media sculptures

and 2D wall pieces .For more information, please

visit

Elena’s

website

www.art-of-elena-

nikolaeva.info

Born and bred in Bream Bay, Colin Unkovich grew

up on the land. He is an outdoors person and as a

result looks to the natural world for his muse. He

has been working as a full-time artist for the last 15

years but airbrushing for over 40 and his paintings

hang in collections around the globe. Colin’s new

body of work features a range of seascapes and

surrealist paintings inspired by the natural

environment around him - example pictured right.

Using the airbrush is a meticulous and slow task but

Colin feels the end result is worth all the time.

This promises to be an exciting and varied

exhibition and MAI looks forward to hosting them

from 6pm on 11th March at 45 Moir St,

Mangawhai. See mangawhaiartists.co.nz for more

information. Gallery open from 10am – 3pm daily.

SCHOOL PICNIC

On Friday the 5th of February the whole of

Kaiwaka School spent the day at the

Mangawhai Estuary. This was a chance for

our new whanau to meet with existing

whanau in a casual atmosphere. The

children enjoyed swimming, making

sandcastles and playing beach games. A

great day!

SCHOOL LUNCHES

This year the school has taken up the

opportunity for students to have a free

lunch each day. This initiative is funded by

the Ministry of Education. Libelle is the

company supplying our lunches. They

follow the healthy guidelines given by the

MoE. The students are enjoying trying the

new, healthy food.

DISCOVERY TIME

At Kaiwaka School the students have the

chance to decide on their own learning

during Discovery Time. This week Josie learnt to knit and made a cloth that she

can use to clean up the breakfast dishes at school. With a volunteer's support,

Josie runs the breakfast club every morning.

From Dirk Smyth, Acting Principal’s Notes

We have now completed our first full week of school. I have been very impressed

with the attitude of our students as they have settled into their routines and

engaged themselves with their learning. We have a great team of teachers and

staff on board and I am excited about the year ahead.

COVID 19: We were all relieved to return to level 1 on Thursday, but we are

continuing with our contingency planning in case of a future lockdown.

Swimming Gala: This was an amazing, well-organised event and the weather

couldn’t have been better. There was plenty of shade and our students got the

important message of being sun smart throughout the day. It was wonderful

seeing so many students getting into the pool and giving it a go. Our top

swimmers excelled, and four records were broken. Grace Kemp broke the

senior girls 25m freestyle while Sonya Steiner broke the junior girls 25m

backstroke. Noah Martin broke two records - the junior boys 25m

breaststroke and 25m backstroke. Well done, and well done to Whatua for

winning the first inter-iwi event of the year.

Uniform: I am pleased to see the overwhelming majority of students wearing the

correct uniform each day.

Athletics: Please join us for our 56th annual athletics day gala on Friday. This

promises to be another exciting, well organised event.

SENIORS/COMMUNITY

LUNCH

The first community lunch of the year

was a great success with a happy group

enjoying a delicious roast lamb meal.

Remember if you haven’t been before

and would like to come along, call us at

the Community House so we know how

many to cater for, 09 431 9080.

COME SHOPPING WITH US

Don’t forget if you need anything in

Whangarei, we have our minibus going

twice a month. It’s totally free! And it

leaves the Retirement Village at 9.30am

on the second Tuesday and fourth

Wednesday of every month. You might

have grocery shopping to do – at any of

the big supermarkets there, or those

little jobs like a birthday present,

haircut, a new pair of shoes, etc. You

can spend at least 3 to 4 hours in town.

When not on a shopping trip our

minibus is available for hire at $40 per

day plus diesel. Just come into the

Community House to enquire, read and

sign the vehicle policy and let us have a

copy of your driver’s licence to arrange

your hire.

Our Rotarians have been able to start

the year in a positive manner and have

some great ideas for the next twelve

months.

SAILING GROUP

We are planning on setting up a sailing

group in Mangawhai for youngsters.

Already one of our Rotarians has

purchased a yacht (a 9ft 6in Des

Townson designed Starling.) He is

working on sprucing this up and it is

hoped that this will be the first of

several that will enable us to build a

sailing group that will operate in the

East. We will be working with the

Mangawhai Fishing and Boating club.

So, watch this space.

CYCLE TRACK

We had hoped to have been able to start

the cycle track at the Maungaturoto

Primary school by now but there has

been a delay with the replacing of the

driveway into the back of the school.

Once this is in place, we can decide

what our next steps will be. We are

doing this in conjunction with the

parents and Year 6 students from last

year.

“BASH A BOMB”

A number of us were able to help at the

Paparoa

Show

(North

Kaipara

Agricultural Association). We did try to

promote a different activity - “Bash a

Bomb” which appeared to be enjoyed

by all who participated. It is being able

to be involved in a show like this that

we are really grateful that we can still

enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities

with a great deal of relative freedom in

comparison to other parts of the world.

PIROA FALLS TRACK

It was a pity that we had not been able

to replace the washed-out section of the

track to the Piroa Falls waterfall in time

for the holidays, but it is essential that

we complete this task in a manner that

will provide long-lasting benefits. We

believe we now have a plan in place

which we will endeavour to implement

early in March. It will be great to have

that area more accessible to all once

more.

DRIVER MENTORING

As mentioned last month, our Driver

Mentoring scheme is now under the

umbrella of People Potential in

Whangarei (see separate advertisement

on page 3). Our mentors look forward

to working with this organisation. Just a

reminder though. It is an expectation

that between obtaining the Learner’s

and Restricted licence, people need to

have completed approximately 120

hours of driving. The 12 free lessons

our volunteer mentors give would be

about ¼ of this time. We have noticed

that the trainees who have been able to

do a substantial amount of driving

between the sessions we provide are

able to approach their test in a much

more positive and relaxed manner.

BECOME A ROTARIAN

If you would like to become involved

with our group, please don’t hesitate to

ask any Rotarian about what is

involved. Attendance is much more

flexible than it used to be, but we really

enjoy working on projects that will

benefit our community.

We meet on Tuesdays at 6pm in the

Maungaturoto Centennial Hall, View

Street, Maungaturoto

MAUNGATUROTO & DISTRICTS ROTARY

COVID COMICS:

2019: Stay away from negative people. 2020: Stay away from positive people.

The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house & their kids are

yelling at them to stay indoors!

Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands?

This virus has done what no woman has been able to do. Cancel sports, shut down all bars &

keep men at home!

Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go up to a bank teller wearing a mask &

ask for money.

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

COVID-19 ALERT LEVELS

Well, that was a bit of 'fun' last week, wasn't it?! Not at all,

sadly. Fortunately, by the time the library was due to open

on that first day of the changed levels, the mess of what

Alert Level we were really in was sorted, so it didn't affect

our hours at all. We did open early on that Monday so

anyone passing by could come in and stock up on books in

case we did go into lockdown, and it was well worth doing

that.



HOW MANY BOOKS?

Remember that children can borrow up to 10 items on their

library cards, and adults can borrow up to 40 items, so you

can think ahead and borrow more items if you think you

might not be able to get here for a while. And if the worst

happened and we went into lockdown again, we'd extend the

due dates on any items currently on issue, so they won't go

overdue at a time when you're meant to be staying at home

as much as possible.



DIGITAL COLLECTIONS

Also, you always have access to our digital collections via

your library card. Go to Enterprise* to get started and come

into the library for assistance if you need it. You'll find

eBooks, audiobooks, magazines and newspapers at your

fingertips in these collections.

QR CODE

We are going to continue offering a manual check-in method

as well as the QR code posters but are changing to

individual slips of paper instead of one sheet for the entire

day to help with privacy issues.

They will still be destroyed

when no longer needed.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently I've read the first two

books in a new detective thriller

series.

Under the Ice

and

The

Scorched Earth

by Rachael

Blok. Welcome to the world of

DCI Maarten Jansen, a Dutch

policeman living in England

with his wife and two small

daughters. In the first book, a

woman seems to be caught up in

the mystery of a young girl

found in an ice-covered lake. Is

she the murderer? How is it that she keeps turning up with

evidence the police had missed in their searches? I found

both books to be engaging and entertaining, and I'm looking

forward to the third installment due out later this year - it's

already ordered for the library. These books are currently on

the Rental Fiction shelves in the library.

See you in the library! ~Wendy
