LTP consultation –

time to have your say

Every three years Council is

required to review and formally

consult on its Long Term Plan (LTP), and this year is one

of those years.

The LTP is essentially a ten-year budget and programme

of works for the district. How much you will be paying in

rates, and how those rates are spent are the most important

topics for most ratepayers.

This time round the key decision topics include – Waste

minimisation, equalising water supply and wastewater

rates, securing water supplies, Mangawhai library

relocation, and regional economic development.

The consultation document is available on Council’s

website https://www.kaipara.govt.nz

The LTP Roadshow will be at the Mangawhai Tavern

Market on 20 March from 9am to 1pm. There are also

online webinars.

Submissions can be made online or on paper and must be

Kaiwaka locals were treated to a

rare performance by HERBS

ACOUSTIC last month and popular

local Duo HAPPY FISH. Three

Furlongs hosted the night and

tickets were sold out well in

advance.

HERBS

vocalist/guitarist

Tama

Lundon, vocalist/guitarist Dilworth

Karaka and Saxophonist Maurice

Watene had the crowd enthralled as

they took them down a nostalgic road

of HERBS’ well known and loved hits

from the past. Pared back and raw

music accompanied by a crowd who

stood in a rhythmically swaying unit all

singing the words everyone has grown

to love and are a well-entrenched part

of NZ’s music history.

GORDON JOLL

A highlight was having Kaiwaka local

award-winning drummer Gordon Joll

joining them on stage who has been

part of the HERBS line-up since 1988.

Gordon is married to Sue Joll and they

formed their duo HAPPY FISH several

years ago and are a much in demand

band for local and New Zealand wide

venues

and

also

private

functions.

Tama, Dilworth and Maurice

enjoyed

entertaining

the

audience and were especially

pleased to hear locals singing

along to ‘Listen’, ‘Long Ago’

‘Dragons and Demons’ and

finishing with a Waiata ‘E Papa’.

Many tears were shed as the

music from the past flooded back

memories of this iconic band in

its heyday.

HAPPY FISH

opened the

night with a rousing mixture of

rock standards which had the

crowd on their feet and dancing

as soon the first few bars were

played. They also closed the

concert which had the crowd up

and dancing again! Sue Joll (nee

Gray) is a seasoned professional

musician/vocalist who had her own

band HASHTAG before she coupled

up with Gordon. She has a very

distinctive voice well suited to the

gutsy rock and reggae numbers in the

repertoire and also sprinkled with

originals Sue wrote. ‘Watch This

Space” is a crowd favourite and is on

their album HAPPY FISH - “Catch Us

On A Good Day’.

Gordon Joll (a part of NZ music

royalty) is also a sought-after session

musician and has played in bands

backing

many

well-known

entertainers over the decades - far too

many to list here.

FACEBOOK

Happy Fish have a Facebook page, and

you can order the album or make

enquiries

for

bookings

through

Facebook Messenger or on their

website

http://

www.happyfishband.co.nz.

Keep an eye out for further nights of

entertainment by more Kiwi Icons at

the Three Furlongs - and get in quickly

as tickets always sell out rapidly.

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Greetings to everyone. Here we are

in Autumn now.

February was a hot end to summer.

It did not seem to be the usual

constant hot month as per usual.

With the children to school it is

usually hot and sunny all day and

cloudless. The children are usually

sweltering and looking forward to

the swimming pools. Sure, is has

been real hot though. The strong

easterly winds kept the burning sun

down and of course drying up the

land. Along with the strong winds

and sunny days with many partly

cloudy.

Thank goodness for the rain we had

on the 10th of February (if you got

it). The wind turned south west

after a couple of weeks and then

turned back to the East again and

very strong. On our trip to

Whangarei last Wednesday the

Brynderwyn Waterfall was just a

mere trickle and when we came

back it was falling to edge of the

highway. There was a large wet

front went west to east and it was

torrential. We did not get enough to

quieten the crickets down yet (and

that is not the crickets in my ears).

It has been great hearing so many

Cicadas this year. I have not heard

so many for several years all at

once.



My rainfall readings this year are,

February 2021 we had 70mm and

February 2020 we had 12mm.



Our driest February since 1987

was 1990 with 3mm and the wettest

was 2006 with 266mm.



Our driest first two months since

1987 was 2020 with 12mm.



The wettest first two months was

2018 with 375mm.



We had rain on 5days this year and

rain on 2 days last year.

That was a bit of a scary day,

Friday 5 March, with the strong

earthquake. The emergency has

been called off as I type this out.

Strange thing there is not one

Cicada singing in the trees.

Fact: Did you know Koalas and

humans have similar fingerprints.

Humans and Koalas both have

whirling ridges for fingerprints that

even

scientists

have

trouble

differentiating.

Well take care out there, Bev.

NIWA:

Of NZ’s six main centres in

February 2021, Auckland was the

warmest and sunniest, Dunedin was the

driest and coolest, Tauranga was the

wettest and Hamilton was the least

sunny. The highest 1-day rainfall was

125 mm, recorded at Kerikeri on 14

February.

St. PATRICK'S DAY

Why do we wear green on St

Patrick's Day? Leprechauns are

actually one reason you're supposed to

wear green on St. Patrick's Day - or

risk getting pinched! The tradition is

tied to folklore that says wearing green

makes you invisible to leprechauns,

which like to pinch anyone they can

see.

Why do Scottish wear orange on St

Patrick Day? While Catholics were

associated with the colour green,

Protestants were associated with the

colour orange due to William of

Orange – the Protestant king of

England, Scotland and Ireland who in

1690 defeated the deposed Roman

Catholic King James II.

What is the Irish symbol for love?

The Claddagh ring - a traditional Irish

ring representing love, loyalty, and

friendship (the

hands

represent

friendship, the heart represents love,

and the crown represents loyalty).

We had a good attendance at the

meeting held on Thursday 25th

February.

Trips for the coming year were

discussed some places being Kaitaia

and Waipu but nothing was settled

luckily seeing as Covid is still

hovering about.

The Kawakawa Women’s Section

bowling

tournament

has

been

cancelled.

We received a Northland Women’s

Association report requesting Districts

to work closer with NWA. NWA

conference is to be in Levin on the 1st

of June.

Annual General Meeting

The next meeting is to be our AGM

Thursday 25 March at 1.15pm and the

nomination form is on the notice board

for Women’s Section members to add

to.

The Birthday Girls for February were

Fay our Patroness and Motorbike

cowboy

"Dawn

Powell"

who

celebrated her 80th Birthday with a

ride

Harley

Davidson!!

Congratulations Dawn from us all.

The raffle was won by June Wilson,

and second prize won by Margaret

Haverfield.

Afternoon Tea Duty

Trish and Shirley have offered to take

care of the afternoon tea for the March

meeting and Jan Mann and June

Wilson will take care of April.

Next meeting will take place on

Thursday 25th March at 1.15 p.m. All

members present please, as it is the

AGM.

An old lady handed her bank card to the

cashier and said, “I would like to withdraw £10

please”. The cashier told her “For withdrawals

less than £100, please use the ATM." The old

lady wanted to know why…

The cashier returned her bank card and

irritably told her “These are the rules, please

leave if there is no further matter. There is a line

of customers behind you”.

The old lady remained silent for a few seconds

and handed her card back to the teller and said

“Please help me withdraw all the money I

have.”

The cashier was astonished when she checked

the account balance. He nodded his head,

leaned over and respectfully said, “You have

£300,000 in your account but the bank doesn’t

have that much cash currently. Could you

make an appointment and come back again

tomorrow?”

The old lady then asked how much she could

withdraw immediately.

The cashier told her any amount up to £3000.

“Well please let me have £3,000 now.”

The cashier kindly handed £3,000 very

friendly with a smile. The old lady put £10 in

her purse and asked the teller to deposit

£2,990 back into her account.!

The moral of this story is: Don’t be difficult with

old folk, they spent a lifetime learning skills.

LIBBY JONES

Member Northland

District

Health

Board

Being physically active is

one of the most important

things you can do for your

health, no matter how old you are. Our

bodies were designed to move, not to

sit most of the day at work, home or in

an office.

While being physically active is one of

the best things we can do, over 50% of

NZ adults don’t get enough exercise

for their health and wellbeing.

Physical activity can:



Improve your memory and brain

function.



Aid in weight management



Lower blood pressure and improve

heart health



Improve your quality of sleep



Reduce feelings of anxiety and

depression



Improve joint pain and stiffness



Decrease the risk of heart disease



Lower the risk of type 2 diabetes



Reduce the risk of some cancers



Increase muscle strength and

function



Improve bone health and strength



Reduce risk of dementia



Help you feel more relaxed, and

less stressed



Be fun

Regular physical activity also improves

children’s ability to learn, as well as

their mental health and wellbeing, and

these benefits carry through into

adulthood.

Actually,

getting

active

and

maintaining a regular level of

movement can be a challenge for

many, in our time pressured lives. So

how to get more physical activity?



Park your car further away than

you need to



Stand, don’t sit



Stretch while watching TV



If it’s less than 1km away, walk



Get out of the office or house at

lunch – even a 10-minute walk is

beneficial



Play with your kids

Sit less and move more and break up

sitting time. I already go for regular

walks, but that is the challenge I have

set myself. What physical activity will

you do to improve your heath?

Check out

https://www.healthnavigator.org.nz

for more information.

Enjoy, Libby Jones.

Jerusalem artichoke,

pictured below, I forget I've got them, then

autumn arrives and there they are 2 metres tall moving through the

day to follow the sun. Because they are members of the sunflower

family not artichokes. Not from Jerusalem either. Native to north

America they have been and still are widely cultivated by the first

nation people as a food crop. The roots are eaten. Boiled, steamed or

roasted or soups or stews. They are full of minerals, super healthy. But beware

they are infamous. Known as fartichokes. I just

look at the flowers.

Ligulari:.

The books will tell you to plant this

next to water in shade. Keep well mulched. So far

so good. It doesn't need to be watered and round

here it's not dormant in winter. I count this plant

in my drought resistant planting. Not because it

looks well in a long hot summer it doesn't. It just

flakes and loses its leaves. But it SURVIVES. I

pile leaves over it and hope for the best then, few

sprinklings of rain. Like we've just had and look.

The leaves are there. And

it will keep on till next

summer. The pond behind

is still dry. The only time I

lost one was when I got

greedy and tried to dig

and divide when the plant

was too small. Patience is

it's own reward

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

KAIWAKA FOOTBRIDGES

IN THE WEST

Two footbridges are to be erected in Kaiwaka,

parallel to State Highway 1 and crossing streams at the northern end of the

township.

State Highway 1 sees over 10,000 vehicles per day at this point and the

footbridges will make it safer for pedestrians to cross the river than the current

State Highway bridge that offers little separation between them and the traffic.

The footbridges are made possible with a $750,000 grant from the Provincial

Development Unit announced last year.

Consultation with the community in December 2020 confirmed the preferred

location for the northernmost bridge was to the west of SH1, crossing Mountain

Creek and linking it up to McClean Park. The southern bridge crosses the

Kaiwaka River near Oneriri Road, and both bridges will link to an underpass

that goes under the state highway to the east side.

Since then, engineers and surveyors have been writing the bridge specifications,

ready for approval by DOC, who owns the land the bridge will sit on. Next steps

are to ask Te Uri o Hau to report to us on the potential cultural impact of the

bridges.

All going well, and subject to approval by DOC, we expect to be tendering for

contractors in late March, with work starting in late August. The bridges are

likely to be completed in February 2022, with the grand opening pencilled in for

March.

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

DARGAVILLE BOOK SWAP

We haven't set a date for it yet, but it will be in April some

time. Now is a good time to come in and make sure you've

picked out all the titles we're holding from Dargaville

Library before they go back. You don't have to have

returned them by the swap date, so can borrow up to the day

we pack them up ready to go.

FREE WI-FI

As I type this report (Friday last week), we're listening to

the alert updates from the earthquakes around the

Kermadecs where some of our neighbouring towns have

had to evacuate to higher ground in case there is a tsunami.

As a result, we have some people camping out in the library

today using our facilities. Which prompts me to give a

reminder - our library has free wi-fi which is available 24

hours a day, 7 days a week. Right now, there is no password

to access it, just connect your device to one of the two

signals.

The one called Kaiwaka_Library is the slower of the two,

but the signal travels further which might be important to

you if you're parked out on the road. The one called

Kaiwaka_Library_5 is faster, but the signal doesn't travel

as far as the slower one. Connect to whichever you like,

they both work.

UPGRADING TO FIBRE

We are working towards having fibre installed at the

library, and then our free wi-fi access will change a little but

will still be free. We will probably have some sort of login

required - I don't have the details yet, but will let you know

when I have them.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently

I've

read

the

Children of the Furnace

series by Brin Murray. (1)

Children of the Furnace (also

called The Burning), (2)

Crosstrees,

and

(3)

Heartsblood.

‘Wil is captured and press-
ganged into a “Redukayshun
Centre”

young

people

labouring to undo the  effects of
generations  of  climate  change.
There  he  discovers  that  he’s
marked  as  a  Heater,  one  of  the
old-time  heretics  who  burned  up  the  world.  All  his  resilience
and  wit  are  needed  to  survive  savage  injustice  and  cruelty  –
and  to  forge  an  uncertain  friendship  with  the  enigmatic
Squadboy Captain, Jace.
Then Leah arrives, the first girl Wil has ever seen. Smart, fierce
and ruthless, she will change Wil and Jace forever.
But  Wil  unknowingly  holds  the  key  to  a  secret.  The  Great
Atrocity at his birth is a lie – and the Revelayshun will use fire,
blood and death to hide the truth.
Now Wil faces an impossible choice.
He can run and seek the “Truth That Will Change Everything.”
Or stay and fight to save his friends.’

Brin Murray is a Kiwi author, and a teacher and scientist,

living at the top of the South Island. These are her first

books, and what a good start! I have enjoyed them a lot, to

the point where I re-read the first book the other week

before reading the rest of the series, now that we have them.

The books are on our Teen Fiction (YP) shelves in the

library.

You can place a hold on them and any other borrowable

item in the district via Enterprise* or the library app on your

phone. Contact me if you need any help doing these things.

See you in the library! ~Wendy
