KAIWAKA SCHOOL GIANT

PUMPKIN COMPETITION 2021

We had a great competition this year with some beautiful,

creative “best dressed” pumpkins and, of course, some impressive

growing efforts. A few mums and dads were seen staggering in

with some of the larger ones!

The results were as follows:

Heaviest Pumpkin: First: Evan, 52.5kg, Second: Kierra, 21.5kg,

Third: Michel- 15.5kg, Fourth: Amelia - 14kg;

Best dressed Junior: First: Lily, Second: Ayla, Third: Winter

Best Dressed Senior: First: Evan, Second: Amara, Third: Josie

Longest Hill Roll:First: Amelia, Second: Kierra, Third: Caylis

Mrs Stevens was the only teacher entry this year. Her pumpkin

weighed a respectable 9kg and rolled well down the hill.

RAMS

Friday 26 March, 7.30pm

‘In remote Western Australia, two

estranged brothers, Colin (Sam Neill)

and Les (Michael Caton), are at war.

Raising separate flocks of sheep

descended from their family’s prized

bloodline, the two men work side by

side yet are worlds apart.

When Les’s prize ram is diagnosed

with a rare and lethal illness,

authorities order a purge of every

sheep in the valley. While Colin

attempts to stealthily outwit the powers

that be, Les opts for angry defiance.

But can the warring brothers set aside

their differences and have a chance to

reunite their family, save their herd,

and bring their community back

together?

Starring

Sam

Neill,

Miranda

Richardson, Michael Caton.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Our very best wishes to Sunny on her 90th birthday!

OTAMATEA COMMUNITY SERVICES

NEW!

SENIOR/COMMUNITY

LUNCH

MANGAWHAI.

How does a free lunch in Mangawhai every month

sound? We are delighted to announce the launch of

our monthly senior/community lunch in Mangawhai.

Our lunches in Maungaturoto have been a special part of the

community for over ten years, so we thought we would

bring it to Magical Mangawhai for more people to enjoy.

Lunch will be held at The Community Hall in Fagan Place,

behind the Mangawhai Medical Centre, on Thursday 8th

April. We will be open from 11.30am and lunch will be

served at 12.30pm.

Please note that if Auckland goes to Level 3, please assume

our lunches, Chocolate Bingo and Fun & Games will not go

ahead due to the risks.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel two regular events during

Level 2 in March - Fun & Games and the Community

Lunch. We didn’t think it appropriate to hold these events

with our communities’ health at risk until Level 1. As the

saying goes, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

On that note, stay safe, everyone. Don’t forget the guidelines

given to us by the Health Department. Wash your hands

regularly, scan QR Codes or sign in where possible, and be

aware of the risks whatever you do and wherever you go.

By the time you read this it will be

pretty close to Easter. Easter - when

we eat spicy buns with a funny mark on

top. Easter - a time to enjoy the delights

of chocolate eggs.

For many of us Easter is more about

time out from the rigours and routine of

work, school, study, chores ... For

others it is a retail opportunity that’s too

good to miss - monster sales and all too

tempting bargains.

Unlike Christmas, Easter can be a

little confusing. Christmas is all about

the birth of a baby, and everybody

knows it’s right and proper to make a

fuss of the birth of a baby.

Easter on the other hand is a little more

difficult to get your head around. On

the Friday Christians pause to

remember Jesus dying on the cross.

Nothing to celebrate there for sure. But

everybody knows when someone dies,

especially a great bloke like Jesus, it is

proper to say a fond farewell and grieve

for their loss. (Which is why some

people find it unbecoming to have sales

on this special day.)

Then there is Sunday, with Christians

celebrating while some shake their

heads and others do not even notice.

What

are

they

celebrating

...

‘resurrection’ ... a dead person coming

back to life?! Now someone dead

coming back to life is not a normal

everyday event; it is out of our league

and many people are not quite sure

what to make of it or do about it.

At the heart

of Easter,

seems to me, is

this: the Bible

says that Jesus

died for us, to show God’s

amazing love for each and every one of

us. As Jesus says in John’s Gospel: No

one has greater love than this, to lay

down one’s life for one’s friends (John

15:13).

Self-sacrificing,

no-strings-attached

love. Love that is behind every act of

compassion, every reaching out, every

instance of care. Jesus’ resurrection

affirms that Jesus’ way: the way of

reaching out in compassion, with caring

and open-ended love, is the way that

leads to life. Simple as that!

So, when you are eating your bun with

that funny mark on top, enjoying your

sumptuous chocolate egg, relaxing,

finding sale bargains; try to remember

all of this is only possible because of

love. Love which is freely given and

leads to life.

For God so loved the world that he gave

his only Son, so that

everyone who believes

in him will not perish

but have eternal life.

(John 3:16)

Peace be with you,

Wayne

Thornton,

Minister for St Paul’s

EASTER 2021

Sock Knitting Class with Jean Guttery

9th and 23rd April 2021

10.00 am - 1.00 pm

Jean will teach you how to make socks from the toe up so
you can try them on as you knit to get the perfect fit and
you will also learn how to do socks using the Magic Loop
method.  It is such a useful skill to learn and they make
wonderful gifts.
The handmade socks last so
much longer than the bought
variety and there are such a
lovely variety of sock yarns to
make them in.  The only
stipulation with this class is you
must buy your yarn here  at The
Apple Basket before class.
Book in by phoning us on 09
4312443  or email at

GROWING MEMBERSHIP

As the weather slowly cools down,

things are heating up at Kaiwaka Can,

and we're basking in the warmth that

connection with our community brings.

March's

monthly

meeting

Wednesday was a roaring success. Our

membership grew yet again with go-

getter Christelle of Best Pets Kaiwaka

joining the team. Welcome to the team

Christelle!

WIKIPEDIA

Christelle has generously offered to

contribute to the Kaiwaka Wikipedia

page, a satisfying task and we're sure

photos of our wonderful town.

MCCLEAN PARK CLEAN-UP

KDC's

General

Manager

Infrastructure Services Jim Sephton

joined us for the meeting along with

Funding Officer Jenny Rooney. With

the McClean Park clean-up, the current

focus of our collective energy, having

them on board for the evening was

fantastic. Getting the green light from

the appropriate parties before launching

spade, weed whacker and bbq sausage

into this mahi is vital.

Jim and Jenny provided valuable

updates and clarity on what KDC is

working on to help drive the McClean

Park clean-up forward. We really

appreciate the work that is underway to

make this happen and look forward to

‘spreading the love' and uncovering the

potential hidden under weeds and

general waste. McClean Park – a

hidden recreational gem and future

must-stop resting area.

FACEBOOK PAGE FOR UPDATES

Working bee dates will be announced

as soon as possible – so please check

MATTERS

CONNECTION

We are absolutely thrilled to have very

recently connected with Mangawhai

Matters who have been doing excellent

work in the community. MM have

expressed their willingness to join

forces and work together towards a

better Kaipara. This important strategic

relationship is going to be key to

gaining

traction,

manpower

and

momentum on the many community-led

projects we get behind.

LONG-TERM PLAN 2021-2031

We're also working on a submission for

the Long-Term Plan 2021-2031. The

Long-Term Plan is the blueprint for the

next 10 years and it sets the KDC's

direction for the future, and the projects

and services that are planned to get

there. We encourage everyone to get

involved and 'have your say' on the

future of your community. Deadline is

April 1st.

ONERIRI ROAD INTERSECTION

Turf Tamer is going to be cleaning up

debris and tree trimming opposite

Oneriri Road entrance, next to where

the new patisserie is opening. The

remaining overgrown vegetation is set

to be cleaned up after the new

footbridges go in. This work is set to

get underway on Monday the 22nd of

March.

Enjoy the rest of the month everyone,

take care out there.

Individually we are one drop, but together

we are an ocean. – Ryunosuke Satoro

Kia ora koutou katoa,

Well, we are off to a great start this year with the many current

challenges of our time. With COVID, lockdowns, earthquakes and the threat of

tsunamis we keep our focus on the author and finisher of our faith Jesus Christ.

God is faithful to us in every season, and we are reminded of this when we think

of his great promises reminding ourselves that he is the Alpha and the Omega the

beginning and the end. He has our life in his hands which includes our future!

This year our focus has been families. As we know the lord is coming soon, we

want to be prepared and ready, coming into alignment and order in every area of

our lives, to live our life thriving for God and to go into a new place in his

presence together. This year we have already seen people come to Jesus from

many different backgrounds. We have had families be restored and lives changed.

One lady testified to a radical miracle, a healing of bone cancer.

Another person was saved from taking his own life. With each victory we

celebrate what our Lord is doing!

We have just completed a renovation project in the kitchen to create a better

environment for those wanting to connect and fellowship. None of this would be

possible without the many who volunteer each week

to serve God and the community. We have a number

of things happening in our church with amazing

guest speakers that are coming and future events

which will be happening in the next few months.

Please remember to check Facebook, Instagram and

our website at www.kaiwakarevival.co.nz for details

of upcoming events.

May the lord bless you and keep you and make his face

shine upon you! Blessings, Pastor Tawhiri Littlejohn

Come and hear the author of ‘The Awesome Power

of Blessing’, Richard Brunton once CEO of

Colmar Brunton, on Sunday 4th April at 10am.

SAILING GROUP

The idea for the sailing group for

youngsters at Mangawhai, is making

good progress.

Because daylight saving is soon to

finish, we will probably not be able to

actually undertake this activity until

next spring/summer. In the meantime,

we have a number of ideas in hand so

that we can make speed at that time.

There is also a possibility that we may

be able to get some kitsets and with the

help of the Mangawhai Men’s shed, put

them together.

CYCLE TRACK

While only a few Rotarians were able

to help with cycle track at the Primary

school, the community spirit really

showed through over two recent

weekends and this is developing into a

fantastic asset. Well done to those

youngsters who dreamed up the idea

and then were prepared to take it

through to fruition. As you will have

seen, the track goes around the

perimeter of the field which includes a

hill.

PIROA FALLS

We are continuing to work on the

upgrade of the Piroa Falls and it is

hoped that this will be completed before

the weather gets really wet again. I

understand that there is a platform

being constructed to be placed over the

washed-out section. Once this is in

place, access will be much more

manageable for a wider range of

people.

DRIVER MENTORING

As far as our driver mentoring scheme

is concerned, we are still trying to get

the car sign written as it is those

businesses who have put up the funds to

enable us to buy the car in the first

place. We now have several students

sitting their restricted in the next month

or so.

We have had one success this year, so

we hope this is the first of many. We

are very fortunate to have a good pool

of Mentors, but if you feel you could

help us in this area, please get in touch

with us. Training is quite basic, and

hours of work is dependent on when

both Mentors and students are

available.

ROTARIAN

Early in April we will be having our

District conference at Copthorne in the

Bay of Islands.

This is not only a chance to meet with

other Rotarians from our District

(which enables an exchange of ideas

and projects) but also to hear some

excellent speakers. And if you wish to

become part of Rotary, feel free to talk

to any Rotarian to find out what is

involved. We meet on Tuesdays at 6pm

in the Maungaturoto Centennial Hall,

View Street, Maungaturoto

KAIWAKA PLAYCENTRE

Kaiwaka Playcentre have been working hard to revitalize and give new life to our

environment. This year the focus is on fundraising and working toward grant

applications so that we can revamp the outdoor play area for our tamariki to

enjoy, with the main priority being a new shade sail.

Our daily sessions have been extended to 8.45am - 12.45pm and we have

employed a knowledgeable teacher to help facilitate our sessions. Puna are also

running a playgroup Tuesday and Thursday and we are pleased our centre is

being utilized as much as possible.

A fresh year bringing many positive

changes.

We rely heavily on community

support

and

would

acknowledge Perry Allen and his

Grandchildren Nixon aged 10 and

Roman aged 6 for assisting us and

generously

restoring

our

historical wooden toys.

These toys have been with us

since Kaiwaka Playcentre first

opened back in 1968 and it’s

great to see the children still

enjoying them!

We always welcome new

families to join us learning

through play. For enquiries

phone 09 4312 111

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

DARGAVILLE BOOK SWAP

The date for this has now been set - Tuesday 13 April. Come

in and take a good look at the Dargaville shelves in the

library to find the gems waiting to be discovered, before

they're packed up and sent back to where they belong. We

don't need these books back before the swap, anything out

when we do the swap will be sent back as it comes in.

AUTUMN CATALOGUE

Do you have your copy of the new autumn catalogue yet?

Pick one up from the counter next time you're in the library.

It's full of great reading suggestions for all the family.

PAINTING QUOTES

We want to get the exterior of the library painted, and that

means applying for funding to pay for it. We are looking for

quotes for the job by 31 March 2021 so we can set about

applying for funding. If you are a painting contractor who is

interested, please see the ad in this Bugle.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently I've read a delightful

Teen Fiction book The Search

for

WondLa

Tony

DiTerlizzi.

"When

marauder

destroys

the

underground  sanctuary  that
Eva Nine was raised in by the
robot  Muthr,  the  twelve-year
-year-old girl is forced to flee
aboveground.  Eva  Nine  is
searching for anyone else like
her:  She  knows  that  other
humans  exist  because  of  an
item she treasures—a scrap of
cardboard

which

depicted  a  young  girl,  an
adult,  and  a  robot,  with  the
strange  word,  “WondLa.”  Tony  DiTerlizzi  honors
traditional  children’s  literature  in  this  totally  original
space-age  adventure—one  that  is  as  complex  as  an  alien
planet,  but  as  simple  as  a  child’s  wish  for  a  place  to
belong."

This is the first book in a series of three (A Hero for

WondLa, and The Battle for WondLa), and all three books

are on our Teen Fiction shelves. My book supplier indicates

it is suitable for 7-9 year olds. I recommend this book to

anyone who likes a good story, and I think the short chapters

would make it an excellent book to read aloud to younger

children who still like their parent reading books to them.

See you in the library! ~Wendy

THE KAURI MUSEUM

Last chance to own one of these iconic Aotearoa

New Zealand souvenirs. After more than seventy

years in business, the company that has always produced

these rulers and coasters with native timber inlay, is closing

its doors. The Kauri Museum has plenty of stock on hand

but sadly, once sold, there will be no more.
