50 YEARS JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

Brian Jaques 50 years as a JP was recognised on Friday 9 April with a morning tea in the

Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall, as Northland’s longest serving JP.

Brian became a JP at 36 years old and has served our community, mainly in the family Four

Square Store. As he said, “ I have witnessed and signed my name thousands of times!”

He was presented the Justice of the Peace Award by Carl Netzler, immediate past president

Northland JP Assn, and a beautiful red rose bush. Jules Flight, on behalf of Northland JP and

Tony Hargreaves spoke in appreciation of the service given by Brian over a sustained period

of time. Brian is now officially BF Jaques JP Retd. (Retired).

The photo below show members of his family - Bev and Reg Jaques, Ken Jaques, Bill Jaques,

Pam (nee Jaques) and Mark

Ottaway. Below: Carl Netzter

presenting the certificate.

50 YEARS SECRETARY

Robert W Hastie became secretary of the *Molesworth Sheep Dog trials in 1971 as a single man, and by 1976 he was ably

assisted by his wife Deborah. They were presented with gifts at the evening prizegiving at last week’s local dog trials.

The first dog trial meeting was held in the Molesworth School in 1949 - Robert’s father Wallace was elected the first

secretary. The following May saw the first dog trials held on Nelson Hastie’s farm. The following year the heading courses

were moved to the Wharfe farm - now Bream Tail.

The club continued to grow and prosper and with changes in Bream Tail the courses were moved to Oneriri Road, Kaiwaka

in 1966 and kept the Molesworth name. Wallace then retired as secretary, Rex Ries took over for 5 years then Robert

began his stint as the club’s third secretary. Robert has competed with heading and huntaway dogs throughout New

Zealand, and has judged at the top level - North Island Championship in Taranaki and the New Zealand Championship in

Gisborne.

* The Molesworth name comes from one of Mangawhai’s first surveyors ~ D. Hastie

Kaiwaka Bugle - 20 April 2021

Page 5

NZ DEFENCE FORCE:

At this time of year, there’s often

confusion about which form of the

term Anzac to use.

You should use the term 'ANZAC' with

all capitals only when referring

specifically to the Australian and New

Zealand Army Corps, which was the

name given to the military formation to

which the New Zealand troops at

Gallipoli were attached.

For all other uses 'Anzac’ should be

used, including Anzac Day and

reference to the “Anzacs”.

Historically, ANZAC (Australian and

New Zealand Army Corps) was an

acronym devised by Major General

William Birdwood's staff in Cairo in

early 1915. It was used for registering

correspondence for the new corps and a

rubber stamp was cut using the letters

A.& N.Z.A.C.

After the landing at Gallipoli, General

Birdwood requested that the position

held by the Australians and New

Zealanders on the peninsula be called

'Anzac' to distinguish it from the

British position at Helles. Permission

was also sought to name the little bay,

where the majority of the corps had

come ashore on 25 April 1915, as

‘Anzac Cove'.

Find out more about the use of the

word ‘Anzac’ guidelines on the

Ministry for Culture and Heritage site

here: https://bit.ly/anzacguidelines

…………………………….

Honour. Reflect. Remember.

This Anzac Day, 25 April 2021 we are

encouraging people - no matter their

circumstance or location - to honour

reflect and remember.

We encourage you to commemorate

the spirit of Anzac Day in a way that

suits you, your whānau and your

community:



Attend an Anzac Day service on

Sunday, 25 April.



Display your community spirit by

decorating your letterbox, fence or

front window with poppies, wreaths or

Anzac-related artwork.



Make some Anzac biscuits to enjoy

while researching your family military

history.



Download our resources for school

or the school holidays.

It's full steam ahead with tenders

going out

shortly for construction of

the new Kaiwaka footbridges.

We are so excited to see this project

come to fruition for the community,

visitors, and travellers. We tip our hat

to Derek Christensen, who planted the

seed for this project many moons ago. It

just goes to show, if there is a will,

there truly is a way. Thanks again for

the valuable contributions you've made

to our wonderful town Derek.

A considered and (e)utopian submission

for the Long-Term Plan 2021-2031 was

made to Kaipara District at the end of

March, and on April 21st we'll be

presenting it to council. Contained

within the submission is a summarised

overview of the team's vision and focus

to see McClean Park turned into a

thriving community hub. Here's a

snippet of the submission:

...The currently approved footbridges

project will bring important safety

benefits to Kaiwaka residents, and will

also open up the potential to improve

linking of the spread-apart commercial

areas strung along SH1.

However, as planned the northern

footbridge will deliver pedestrians to

McClean Park, an area which is

presently badly run-down... Immediate

priority should be given to clean up

this park as it is a

major potential asset

to the community.

Cleaning up McClean

Park would promote

its safe use as a

stopping / rest area for

passing motorists and

would provide for the

safety and security of

pedestrians using the

footbridge to reach a

picnic area by the edge

the

estuary.

Connecting the town

the

Kaipara

waterway will provide

great advantage to

residents

and

visitors alike, giving

the town and the state

highway travellers a

waterside picnic rest

area and a venue

where kayakers can

access the waterway

safely. The area can

provide parking spaces

from which visitors

can access the town

over

the

new

footbridges or walking

north to the café and

beyond. The park will

open

recreational and rest

area for the workers

associated with the

newly

zoned

commercial

areas

north of the bridge.

With

enhancement,

this area could also

potentially provide an excellent future

base for the intended information

centre at Kaiwaka: the gateway to

Northland.

A special thank you to everyone who

rallied over the last few weeks putting

together a sharp submission. We have a

fantastic team and look forward to

memory-making moments mucking in

and getting to know others in the

community. Working bees are looking

like they'll be in the calendar sooner

than expected so keep your eyes peeled

and check our Facebook page for

updates. And a big shout out to each

and every one of our volunteers who

generously give their time working

towards the community vision for a

safe, connected and vibrant town.

Autumn's Gift

Go with the flow

see the seasons weep

For all that is true

and all that is deep

May Autumn be a time of Harvest

ripe for the picking for you and me

Nature's gift for us all to see

How good is the Earth and

REPERTORY

“Oh, the thinks you can think”,
when

Seuss’

best-loved

characters collide and cavort in an
unforgettable musical caper!

Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat

and all of your favourite Dr Seuss

characters spring to life onstage

in Seussical JR., a fantastical musical

extravaganza featuring our talented

youngsters.

Transporting audiences from the Jungle

of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the

Cat in the Hat narrates the story of

Horton the Elephant, who discovers a

speck of dust containing tiny people

called the Whos. Horton must protect

the Whos from a world of naysayers

and dangers, and he must also guard an

abandoned egg that's been left in

his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La

Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule,

danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude

McFuzz

never

loses

faith

him. Ultimately, the powers of

friendship,

loyalty,

family

and

community are challenged and emerge

triumphant!

WEATHER

Apologies for no weather in the last

Bugle. I was to type it up but went to

hospital unexpectedly.

Well, here it is the first month of

Autumn. The weather was mostly fine

up till about 20th March then turned to

an Easterly direction. Rather cold as

well. The rest of the month was hot,

then cloudy and showery. Our weather

now is more Autumn like, even though

we are moving into Winter now.

Well, for March 2021 we had 40mm

and for March 2020 we had 82mm.

We had rain on 9 days in March 2021

and in March 2020 we had rain on 11

days.

For the first three months of 2021 we

had 210mm of rain and for 2020 we

had 134mm.

Our driest first three months since 1987

was 1987, with 69mm and the wettest

first three months was 1999 with

615mm. The traffic past our place is

very different to March last year. With

Covid, there was hardly a car on the

road but this year there is hardly a quiet

time.

As I get this late report ready, the

weather has changed considerably but

more about that in the next report. As

we came past the Brynderwyn waterfall

it was merely a trickle - not a good

sign.

Cheers and take care out there. ~ Bev

Of the six main centres in March 2021,

Auckland

was

the

warmest,

Christchurch was the sunniest, Dunedin

was the coolest and driest, and

Hamilton was the wettest and least

sunny.

THE FIRST 1000 DAYS

Achieving mental and physical health

is a lifelong undertaking. The first

1,000 days of a person’s life – which

stretches from conception to two

years is the most critical period for

growth and development of both the

brain and the body, and for determining

our health outcomes as adults. The first

three years have a direct impact on how

children develop learning skills as well

social

and

emotional

abilities, including emotional

regulation and self-control.

Nathan Mikaere Wallis, a

New Zealand neuroscientist

and

parenting

educator,

pictured here, recommends to

parents for the first 1000 days

of their child’s life. “Drown

those toddlers in love,

let them think for

themselves and don’t

stress.”

A baby’s brain wiring is

not fully connected at

birth. It changes and

develops in response to what’s going on

all

around

them.

Day-to-day

experiences like playing, being read to,

learning,

interacting

and

being

responded to by people

help to develop the baby’s

brain.

In contrast to what we

used to believe, our

outcomes

are

not

predetermined just by our

genes and it’s not about

learning

alphabets,

numbers or colours. It’s about being in

safe,

loving

and

interactive

environment. The more love and

positive interaction a child experiences

in the first 1000 days of life, the more

developed and healthier their brain will

be.

Loving,

consistent,

positive

relationships also help protect the

baby’s brain from the negative effects

of chronic or toxic stress, which is

harmful to the baby’s developing brain.

With limited health dollars it is always

a challenge to decide where to focus

our resources. For me it makes sense

to put energy and resources into the

first 1000 days by supporting

pregnant women with good nutrition,

information, healthy environments,

support and reducing stress. And from

there to focus on a healthy and

nutritious environment for the baby and

growing toddler, education and support

to new parents, allowing them the best

chance to bond with their baby and

toddler and to reduce family violence.

Our brain changes a lot between

birth and adolescence. It grows in

overall size, increases the number of

cells, and develops and strengthens the

wiring. The changes don’t stop once we

turn 18. Scientists now think our brain

continues maturing and fine-tuning

itself well into our 20s. So, all is not

lost if the early years are not as good as

they could be, as all positive loving

relationships,

interactions

and

experiences are beneficial. However, it

seems clear that giving new lives the

best opportunity to feel safe, secure and

lovingly connected to their caregiver/s

is critical to positively impact all of

their life-long outcomes. That benefits

us all, and in my mind is a

responsibility of us all.

SENIOR/COMMUNITY LUNCH IN

MANGAWHAI.

We’ve heard some chatter and praise

about our first community lunch held in

Mangawhai. It went so well, and we

had a great turnout which was lovely to

see. We are so lucky to have the

wonderful A to Z Catering who provide

our delicious meals at our community

lunches. Our community lunch in

Maungaturoto has been popular for

over ten years, and they always have a

great group of people ready to enjoy

their day out.

COMMUNITY MINI-BUS

Our community mini-bus has been busy

making the usual twice-monthly

shopping trips to Whangarei and has

been hired by others, including schools,

sports clubs the retirement village in

Maungaturoto, who go to a movie and

lunch regularly. Our bus was also able

to provide transport for a group

attending a funeral in Auckland. It’s

great to be able to provide the mini-van

for those in our community who need

it.

SHEARING SUCCESS AT TE KUITI SHEARS

Our Henderson Shearing crew were very successful - Toa Henderson, Hamu

Henderson and Tama Nahona - congratulations.

RELAY FOR LIFE:

The final fundraising

amounts for Relay

for Life have now

been calculated and I

absolutely

thrilled to see that

our OTA Kids team

have finished as the

top fundraisers in

Northland, with a

grand

total

$12,387. What an

incredible

achievement.

Well

done to our year 13s

and prefects for their

efforts over the past

few months.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH:

Prince Philip of England passed away last week at

the age of 99. He was also known as the Duke of Edinburgh and was the founder

of the Duke of Edinburgh programme in 1956. Many of our students have

completed, or are currently completing, their DOE awards so as a school we

acknowledged the Duke’s passing at assembly during the week.

Free and Healthy Lunches: The final paperwork for the Free and Healthy School

Lunches programme will be completed over the holidays and we are still on track

to roll this out at the start of term 2. Full details will be sent out before the start of

term.

ANZAC DAY:

Over the holidays our prefects will be laying wreaths at our

local ANZAC day parades at Maungaturoto, Waipu, Matakohe and Hakaru. Lest

we forget. ~ Dirk Smyth, Acting Principal

The past month has been relatively

quiet in a community sense for our

Rotarians. However, several were able

to attend Albie’s meeting which is

endeavouring to find a way forward for

the Den as a community asset. We are

all grateful for the effort of Albie and

his team in what has been provided and

it will be great to see a sustainable plan

put in place for its future success. It

would seem that the cycleway itself is

complete, with fencing to be added at a

future date.

ROTARY

YOUTH

DRIVING

AWARENESS

Last week, three of us attended the

Rotary Youth Driving Awareness

presentation in Whangarei. We had

sponsored Year 12 students from

Otamatea to attend this. (Something we

have done for a number of years.) We

believe that the modules offered

provide a good basis for these students

as they are learning to drive. Topics

covered include car safety ratings and

braking distances and the ongoing

impact of a head injury from a traffic

accident as well as the effect of

distractions when driving. We hope the

lessons learnt from this day will ensure

safe driving by these young people.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE

The past weekend saw our annual

conference at Waitangi. Our District

extends up into the islands and because

these Rotarians couldn’t attend, there

were a number of videos to showcase

the efforts in supporting their local

communities. The presentations by

local Rotarians were also quite

impressive and it was shown

that a great deal more could be

achieved by not only having

Rotary clubs join in a project but also

by involving community groups so

there was a co-operative effort. The

ongoing impact of Student Exchange

visits and attendance at Science and

Technology weeks was also apparent

by helping young people find a future

direction in their lives.

PIROA FALLS

Hopefully, by the time this goes to

press, Piroa falls will be much easier to

access. A working bee is planned to

provide a pathway that will be able to

withstand the rigours of torrential rain

and the impact of high river flows. The

plan is to use materials already on site.

This has worked well in other areas.

ANZAC SERVICES

We are also planning to lay wreaths at

the dawn service in Maungaturoto as

well as the later services at Hakaru and

Matakohe on Anzac Day.

RESTRICTED LICENCE?

We are continuing to get more people

on board who are aiming for their

Restricted licence and in the past

month, three have been successful. If

you believe you could help us with

mentoring these people (not always

youngsters) please don’t hesitate to get

in touch. Any queries in relation to the

above, please don’t hesitate to give me

a call – Eileen – 021 1420357

MAUNGATUROTO & DISTRICTS ROTARY

FROM VETERANS' FOUNDATION UK:

‘As a first lieutenant in the Royal Navy, Prince Philip foiled a

Luftwaffe bomber which looked certain to destroy his ship, according

to fellow veteran Harry Hargreaves.

Philip, aged just 22, was second in command on the destroyer HMS

Wallace in July 1943, during the Allied landings in Sicily when the ship came

under repeated attack in the night. According to Hargreaves, a yeoman on board

the ship who revealed the story in 2003, the prince conjured up a plan to throw a

smoking wooden raft overboard to create the illusion of debris on fire in the

water. Hargreaves said: “It was for all the world like being blindfolded and trying

to evade an enemy whose only problem was getting his aim right. There was no

doubt in anyone’s mind that a direct hit was inevitable.”

Within five minutes they had launched a raft over the side with devices at each

end that imitated flaming debris in the water. The captain ordered the ship to sail

away before stopping the engines to hide the wake.

“The next thing was the scream of bombs, but at some distance,” Hargreaves

said. “The ruse had worked, and the aircraft was bombing the raft. Prince Philip

saved our lives that night.” Hargreaves remembered: “He was very courageous

and resourceful and thought very quickly. You would say ‘What the hell are we

going to do now?’ and Philip would come up with something.”

BOOK REVIEW

Recently I've read Tell Me Lies by JP Pomare. I couldn't

put this one down! It is an excellent thriller that will keep

you guessing to the end. "

Psychologist Margot Scott has a

picture-perfect life: a nice house in the suburbs, a husband, two
children,  and  a  successful  career.  On  a  warm  spring  morning,
Margot spots one of her clients on a busy train platform. He is
looking  down  at  his  phone,  with  his  duffel  bag  in  hand  as  the
train  approaches.  That’s  when  she  slams  into  his  back  and  he
falls in front of the train. Suddenly, one tragedy leads to another
leaving  her,  her  family,  and  her
patients in danger

I've also read The Glorious

Guinness Girls by Emily

Hourican.

The

Glorious

Guinness  Girls  are  the  toast  of
London  and  Dublin  society.
Darlings  of  the  press,  Aileen,
Maureen  and  Oonagh  lead
charmed  existences  that  are  the
envy  of  many.  But  Fliss  knows
better.  Sent  to  live  with  them  as
a  child,  she  grows  up  as  part  of
the family and only she knows of
the  complex  lives  beneath  the
glamorous surface... Set amid the
turmoil  of  the  Irish  Civil  War
and  the  brittle  glamour  of  1920s
London,  The  Glorious  Guinness  Girls  is  inspired  by  one  of  the
most  fascinating  family  dynasties  in  the  world  -  an
unforgettable  novel  of  reckless  youth,  family  loyalty  and
destiny."

I enjoyed this historical novel a lot, and have no

hesitation in recommending it.

Both books are on the Rental Fiction shelves in the library.

See you in the library! ~Wendy
