POMEGRANATE:

Some of first trees I planted here. Five trees

given to me by my father, who grew them from cuttings. I have had

modest success with cuttings. I should

have asked Dad what his secret was.

Unfortunately, too late now. Don't

forget to ask the old people questions.

I was constantly ringing him up for ‘how to's’.

Not the pomegranates. The pomegranates grow

well here. Hot and dry. Dad said they would.

They are shallow rooted and blow over easily.

Doesn't stop them growing though. They just

shoot up again.

Downside. There are serious thorns. This puts

them in Les' no-go area.

Traditionally they were used as fencing for

sheep. Planted in a circle they kept the sheep in,

and the thorns protected the sheep from

predators. Also, delicious to eat and lots of

vitamins and minerals.

MEDLAR

: Another lovely small tree. A

member of the rose family like apple and quince.

You get spring blossom, and these fruits

hold on into winter with great autumn

colour. I grow it because of its ancient and

literary lineage. The Roman's grew it for

the fruit which is edible in winter. Chaucer

and Shakespeare use it as a metaphor for

corruption. Using the common name 'open

arse'. Pretty obvious why. Who am I to

argue with the greatest writers in English?

To eat the fruit, it involves bletting. Bletting

is letting the fruit be frosted till it goes

brown and mushy. I know. I tried it. It's a

bit like Christmas fruit mince - your choice.

Medlar are well worth it. Spring blossom,

winter colour, easy to grow, and a history.

NEW

SECRETARY

Pam Lawson, the

new

KSA

secretary:

Some information about me: I’m

48, grew up in Dairy Flat. I’m hard

working, dedicated, honest.

I decided to take this position on

because Pongo ‘bongsnoodled’ me

(hahaha), and someone had to step

up. I will apply my best foot and

talents forward and do my very best

to provide the KSA with my all.

I’m not well known by many as I

like to keep my world small UNTIL

NOW! I think I’m going to build a

bigger bubble.

There were a lot of members who

did not make it to the meeting but I

have a plan to get everybody’s cell

phone numbers so I can send a bulk

text, and everyone will know about

the next meeting.

The KSA Committee is up and

running, we have a new treasurer

and Secretary, the KSA is still

looking for a great PR and FB

coordinator.

I’m sure the KSA has a lot of

upcoming events, sports etc. I just

have to find out what they are and

when they are happening so bear

with me and I will touch base soon.

I have attached a new club’s list but

there are a couple of names which I

am missing their phone numbers

and email addresses. So, if you

know please pop me a text or email.

The minutes of the last meeting are

now being circulated. ~ Pam

MEETING AT BOATING &

FISHING CLUB

President Rodney Tysoe welcomed a

good number to our meeting at the

Mangawhai Boating and Fishing club.

It was great to have the partners along

as well as AG Gary.

It was also great to have our

prospective member, Dennis and his

wife present. Also with us were Dave

and Lindsey Kitson, a couple who took

up sailing later in life.

Wayne Maclennan was able to be with

us as well and he has had a great deal

to do with the yachts that Otamatea

High School has at Pahi. The centre of

attention, looking very pristine was the

boat pictured below.

Grahame launched the evening by

sharing a humorous story about his

first sailing venture as a teenager – all

ended well when they were taken

under the wing of a family friend. He

then spoke of the inspiration he

received from the book written by the

late Des Townson (and his wife Sue).

JUNIOR SAILING SCHOOL

Maungaturoto & Districts Rotary

project:

Grahame’s plan is to start a junior

sailing school which will operate in the

Mangawhai Harbour two hours either

side of high tide and will sail to the

right of North Street. Because of the

congestion at the weekend, it is quite

likely this will happen in the evenings.

The ages of 11 to 17 have been chosen

as participants need to have a body

weight of around 40kgs or more.

The more expensive versions of these

boats cost around $13k (fibreglass),

but the ply yacht we have cost $1,300.

Grahame has spent an amount of time

and effort in restoring this to the

beauty we have on display.

On the stern of this boat is a sticker

which states: “Starling Nationals 1991,

Lyttleton” so it was obviously a

speedy little yacht. Grahame

hopes to get sponsorship (with

naming rights) for these boats

but ultimately would like the parents to

buy them for their

youngsters.

SAFETY & SAILING

Wayne Maclennan then spoke about

taking over the sailing at Pahi, when

he was at Otamatea High School. This

was originally set up by the late Peter

Broadhurst. There are two optimists

there which can be used for our

project. Wayne has spoken to the

Acting Principal who is happy for us to

use the optimists. There are also 8

lifejackets that we can use. Wayne

stressed the importance of safety and

the fact that there should be a safety

boat present. Wayne’s philosophy

when teaching sailing is that sailors

need to be able to problem solve when

things go wrong. Wayne is hopeful, if

everything falls into place, that the

project

will

underway

September.

We were also fortunate in having Nik

Tetzner present because he was able to

speak of sailing the school boats at

Pahi and how this passion led him to

his present trade as a boatbuilder.

From Dirk Smyth, Acting Principal’s Notes

Ka Ora, Ka Ako /Free and

Healthy Lunches: I am very

excited to announce that

Thursday the 6th May is day 1

of Ka Ora, Ka Ako - the free

and healthy lunches programme

that we are now a part of. Each

child at school will be provided

a free and healthy lunch every

day from Thursday onwards.

Dietary requirements will be

taken into account for those

with allergies and intolerances

etc so please contact the school

and ensure your child’s details

are up to date. This will help

ensure they are catered for. Regular, nutritious food is vital for children’s

physical, mental and educational development and it affects their ability to

focus, concentrate and learn.

Students will eat together in year groups after period 2, at the start of interval.

The cafe will remain open during interval and lunchtimes, and the canteen will

be open at lunchtimes only. Students should still bring additional food to school,

such as fruit and other healthy snacks, to keep them going throughout the day.

ANZAC Day: Congratulations to the year 13s and prefects who turned up to the

local ANZAC day ceremonies last week, representing our school with pride. At

each of the four services (Maungaturoto, Waipu, Matakohe and Hakaru) our

students looked very smart in their uniforms and laid a beautiful wreath at the

base of the flagpoles. I attended the dawn service at Centennial Hall. It was a

beautiful morning and a reminder of the sacrifices made in the past that allow us

to live in such an amazing country. Lest we forget.

Year 13 Common Room: Well done to the year 13s who turned up over the

holidays for their working bee. The common room looks so much better already.

When the desks and chairs arrive, and the wifi access point is installed, this will

look and feel more like a study room and will encourage our year 13s to use

their study periods more productively.?

Staff Only Day: Please note that Thursday the 20th May is a staff only day.

This is a Ministry of Education staff only day, set aside for secondary schools.

We will use this day to support the implementation of upcoming changes to

NCEA and strengthen our junior curriculum areas.

FOR A FREE LIFE

Swagmen or tramps as noted in

‘Kaiwaka Centennial of Kaiwaka

Rautau O Kaiwaka 1859-1959’:

“Francis Mander was held in the

highest esteem by his associates in

the industry. He was noted for his

sincere human sympathies. In

periods of depression no swagman

was turned away without a few

days' work and keep at Mander and

Bradley's [sawmills]”... and …

“One winter of the teens, so bad

was the main road that a few chains

on the south side of W. Ross's home

(now I.Marshall's) a tramp was

found completely bogged, without a

hope of extricating himself. The one

to the rescue was Harry Webster,

who, on horse-back, was able to

pull the poor victim out. His hat

remained on top of the mud to be

seen for a long time afterwards.”

Tony remembers two or three

tramps who used to periodically

walk Oneriri. They only ever asked

for shelter and something to eat, and

do odd jobs.

KAIWAKA SCHOOL 150 REUNION WILL BE HELD ON

23RD OCTOBER (LABOUR WEEKEND) THIS YEAR.

Keep up to date with Facebook Pages to follow:

Kaiwaka School 150 year Reunion - message for more information

Kaiwaka School Old Photos, Kaiwaka Historical Society.

Please tag in your friends and family we want to spread the word about our

school Reunion on 23rd October 2021.

One of New Zealand’s last swagmen

was known to all as Russian Jack - but

his real name might be a mystery.

His actual name was often said to be

Barrett Cruman - but it has never been

known if it was really his name or it

was taken because he spent time as a

crewman on a ship.

Born in Latvia in a small village called

Alexandria on March 26, 1878, he only

did a few years of education before

working in scrub-camps then joined the

merchant marine, working as a seaman.

He arrived in New Zealand in 1912 on

the British steamer Star of Canada, but

off the coast of Gisborne the ship was

wrecked, and he was swept ashore.

He worked on coastal ships for a while

but then took to the land working as a

scrub cutter and a farm hand.

Then one day he took to the road.

For the next 53 years Russian Jack

wandered around the North Island.

He was best known in the Manawatu

and Wairarapa. He just avoided being

in Hawke’s Bay during the 1931

earthquake.

He called himself Russian Jack - or

Ivan in his native tongue.

In Masterton the statue of him by artist

Kenneth Kendall shows a shorter man

with a deeply tanned face, a drooping

moustache, most often wearing a wide

brimmed felt hat and a walking stick.

He smoked a pipe that he usually put

out by jamming a cork in the bowl.

Russian Jack carried several large

sugar bags and a cut-down kerosene-tin

billy, along with tins of dripping which

he rubbed on his chest and neck to

protect against ailments.

He had a number of rough bivouacs

around the North Island that he kept

ready for his next visit.

He wore newspapers layered in

between his fraying clothes and a pair

of boots he fixed over and over again.

He was remembered as a man of

honour, being good natured and

courteous.

It was only in the mid-1960’s he gave

up the life. In his 80’s he was deaf,

having trouble walking with one foot

becoming deformed.

He was admitted to hospital with

frostbitten feet in 1965 and spent the

next three years in Greytown Hospital,

dying on September 19, 1968, aged 90.

It was a life he had chosen, one that

made him happy and, in his words,,

"Man oh man I vos FREE! Free to

have a beer, have a smoke, – happy

what you can call all the time, you

know. They was free days."

Russian Jack was buried in the

Greytown Cemetery, given a funeral

from the proceeds of a pension he

never collected in life.

BOOK REVIEWS

I've just finished reading The Travelling Cat Chronicles by

Hiro Arikawa. It is a delightful and charming

tale about

Nana, a stray cat rescued from the streets of Tokyo. "It's not the
journey that counts, but who's at your side. Nana is on a road
trip,  but  he  is  not  sure  where  he  is  going.  All  that  matters  is
that he can sit beside his beloved owner Satoru in the front seat
of his silver van. Satoru is keen to visit three old friends from
his  youth,  though  Nana  doesn’t  know  why,  and  Satoru  won’t
say.  Set  against  the  backdrop  of  Japan’s  changing  seasons  and
narrated  with  a  rare  gentleness  and  humour,  Nana’s  story
explores the wonder and thrill of life’s unexpected detours. It is
about the value of friendship and solitude and knowing when
to  give  and  when  to  take."

This book is on our Fiction

shelves and is free to borrow.

I've also been reading the DCI Ryan

series by LJ Ross. The first book,

Holy Island takes us to Lindisfarne, a

famous island steeped in religious

history

off

the

coast

Northumberland. "

Detective

Chief

Inspector  Ryan  retreats  to  Holy  Island
seeking  sanctuary  when  he  is  forced  to
take sabbatical leave from his duties as a
homicide  detective.  A  few  days  before
Christmas, his peace is shattered, and he
is  thrust  back  into  the  murky  world  of
murder  when  a  young  woman  is  found  dead  amongst  the
ancient ruins of the nearby Priory. When former local girl Dr
Anna Taylor arrives back on the island as a  police consultant,
old  memories  swim  to  the  surface  making  her  confront  her
difficult past. She and Ryan struggle to work together to hunt a
killer  who  hides  in  plain  sight,  while  pagan  ritual  and  small-
town  politics  muddy  the  waters  of  their  investigation

." Each

book is set in a different location around Northumberland

on England's northern east coast. Most of the series is on

our Rental Fiction shelves, with the last few of the 17 titles

on order and expected to be available soon. I'm enjoying the

series a lot and find them easy to read - I read one of them

in a day last week, and I'm not a speed-reader, though I did

have several hours free to devote to it.

PLACE A HOLD ON TITLES

You can place a hold on the books I've mentioned above

and all our other borrowable items, so they're ready for you

to collect when you come in. Go to Enterprise* or the

library app on your smartphone, and search for what

interests you, then click/touch on the Place Hold button

alongside it. You can choose which library in the district

you will collect it from, if you're heading out of town and

that's more convenient to you.

notifications you will receive a message when a hold item is

at the counter, ready for you to collect. You also get a

it before it's returned. If you don't get these free

notifications and would like them, contact me and I will set

it up for you.
