EUTOPIA - 7 YEARS ON

We have now owned Eutopia for more than 7 years and have been open as a cafe for just over 2. As we head into the winter

months, and everything quietens down a little, we can reflect on the journey so far and where we head from here.

This last Summer has been busy as people become more aware of our existence in Kaiwaka, and we are starting to become

known. We have become a regular meeting spot for locals and the stop of choice for many local travellers. With the challenges of

Covid we have relied heavily on local support which has carried us through, and we have greatly appreciated this. We get great

feedback and people are enjoying the space we have created, our lovely hard-working staff and the food to match.

Lockdown provided a bit of a breather and during this time we let loose on the place. We managed to

paint the whole side wall, complete some concrete carving, make 9 granite tables as well as a number

of sculptural features.

We try and cater for everyone and make Eutopia inviting to all by providing gluten free, vegan, dairy

free as well as keto options. We have a few things that are becoming our signature dishes. Auntie

Jean’s famous chocolate peanut butter balls for instance, and now we have our limited-edition peanut

butter and blueberry jelly balls. We also try to ensure our ingredients are as much as possible local,

free range, organic if possible and what we do creates minimal environment impact.

We have recently acquired a liquor licence. We can now provide a beer or wine with meals. We are

going to concentrate on local boutique beers, ciders and wines. When Summer approaches we will

look at opening for some evenings with the plan to have occasional live music.

In the meantime, our next big project is to look at making a covered, enclosed area at the back to

mitigate the problem that we are mostly a fair weather cafe. Apart from this we have a sea of

painting to complete, more sculptures to finish and erect, glass work and lighting to complete and

there are even some unfinished mosaiced areas. So, all we can say, watch this space, it is continually

evolving and thanks for all your support.

We are presently open 7 days 8.30am – 3pm. (3.30pm weekends) with evenings planned for later in

the year.

LET HIM GO

Friday 21 May, 7.30pm

“A black horse quietly returns to the

ranch, riderless. A scoop of ice

cream falls from a little boy’s cone

onto the sidewalk.

Subtle moments, all, but they do so

much to set the scene and establish

the themes of regret and redemption

in “Let Him Go.” This is the kind of

solid, grown-up drama we don’t see

very often anymore. In a world of

superhero blockbusters, this low-key

throwback of a Western is the stuff

of timeless cinema. Understated in

its quiet rhythms and vast beauty,

it’s also fortified with strong

performances …”

‘Let Him Go’ is a 2020 American

neo-Western film starring Diane

Lane and Kevin Costner, and

produced, written and directed by

Thomas Bezucha.

From Thelma’s Scrapbook

–

What a Hoot:
Each evening a bird lover, Tom, stood in his backyard,
hooting  like  an  owl.  One  night  an  owl  called  back  to
him.  For  a  year,  Tom  and  his  feathered  friend  hooted
back  and  forth.  He  even  kept  a  log  of  the
‘conversation’.
Just  as  he  thought  he  was  on  the  verge  of  breakthrough  in  inter-
species communication, his wife had a chat with her neighbour.
“My husband spends his nights calling out to owls,” she said.
“That’s odd,” the neighbour replied, “so does mine.”

KAIWAKA FOODBANK

KAIWAKA FOODBANK OP SHOP

A Public Meeting was held at the

Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall on

Monday 10th May at 10am.

It was great to see so many people at

the meeting at a time of day that is not

easy for many people in the

Community. The Op Shop and

Foodbank

volunteers

were

well

represented, the new owner, Ant

Pedersen, of the Four Square attended

with some of his staff and concerned

people from the community some of

whom have been customers of the Op

Shop or clients of the Foodbank. I think

that there were 26 people altogether.

Maria Morgan and Milly O’Leary

explained their roles. Maria and Rau

have developed a unique way of

running the Foodbank so that it can

provide much more support for those in

continuing need than would be possible

if it was linked into external

bureaucracy. Milly has experience

running local Op shops but is frustrated

by the small space and lack of the

equipment that she is used to.

It was clear that the community

acknowledges that there is a lot of need

for the Foodbank and wants the Op

Shop to continue to support it. It was

also clear that there have been problems

with the relationships between the two.

The need for a more transparent and

accountable structure with regular

reporting to the volunteers and to the

community was recognised.

It was suggested that we should have a

committee with two people nominated

the

Foodbank,

two

people

nominated by the Op Shop volunteers,

a Treasurer, Secretary and Chairperson.

The meeting did not feel ready to elect

these people. It was suggested that it

would be good to involve some

younger people to ensure continuity.

There was a motion to hold another

meeting in about one month to further

explore how to set this committee up

and if possible, elect a chairperson. The

meeting was already breaking up so the

motion was not put to the vote but

support for it will be canvassed from

attendees and it is expected to go ahead.

Kaiwaka this is your chance to find the

right people to help the Foodbank and

the Op Shop develop to continue to be

something we can be proud of.

Do you or one of your friends have

accounting skills, secretarial skills or

facilitation skills – or if you are young

and less experienced do you believe

you could do one of these jobs?

Look out for a notice of another

meeting in the next issue of the Bugle.

THE WAY WE WORE

On May 29th each year, The Albertland Heritage Museum

celebrates the day the first two ships set sail for the new

future of Albertland, a special settlement for the

Nonconformist Association. About 3000 settlers were to

make the voyage to the new land and create a city to rival

Auckland.

But for many, Auckland was the end of the journey.

They heard about primitive conditions, lack of transport and

roads in the North, and so settled down and were absorbed

into the business, trade, and commerce of the young

Auckland. However, regardless of the difficulties many did

stay and made a life on the Kaipara.

The Victorian dress of the new arrivals can’t have made the

difficulties of working and living” in the bush” any easier,

and by the time of WW1 clothes were becoming simpler and

less formal for both adults and children, and from the

twenties were similar to that we wear today.

Albertland Heritage Museum and the Port Albert Hall are

combining to celebrate 29 May with the launch of our latest

exhibition,

The Way We Wore: 50 years of fashion.

Curated by Lyn Johnston, Rose Reid and Julie Cotton our

displays showcase fashion from the ‘Roaring 20s’ to the end

of the ‘Swinging Sixties’.

From day dresses and glamorous evening wear to clothing

accessories and toiletry articles, both men and women’s

fashion over 50 years will be featured.

29TH MAY PROGRAMME

11.00  –  Exhibition  ‘The  Way  We  Wore’  opens  at
Albertland Heritage Museum. Vintage cars display.
1.15pm – Vintage Cars procession to the Port Albert Hall
1.30pm  –  Refreshments  at  the  Port  Albert  Hall  (finger
food  &  cuppa  for  gold  coin  donation).  Displays,  Quiz  &
Raffles. Welcome from Hall Chairman

KAIWAKA FOOTPATH

A note from Susan …

If you want to cross that river,

but don't know how to fly,

there is no point sitting waiting,

til the water all rolls by,

When a tough job lies before you,

Get it down without delay,

You won't finish it tomorrow,

If you don't begin today !

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Bev has been very ill in hospital again,

so I am filling in for her. I can only

give you rain totals as I have recorded

at our place. We live 3km East of

Kaiwaka and our rainfall can be very

different to the township totals.

April was quite a windy but very warm

month. Autumn has been absolutely

stunning so far but the ground is still

very dry. I recorded 148.5ml for April

2021. Last year we only had 56ml for

April.

This is a very short and not in-depth

report but I’m sure you will bear with

me.

Question: what do you call a

boomerang that doesn't come back?

Answer: a stick. ~Karen

GULL SERVICE STATION

Workmen are well on their way to the completion of the Gull Service Station just

south of the Three Furs Bar & Grill. All the ‘station’ equipment that can be seen

in these photographs will soon disappear from sight - all will be well covered

with packed gravel and concrete.

The top photo: The 'fuel taps’ that are safe in the blue barrels - as seen in the

middle photo, manage the fuel flow. This new technology is the first of its kind in

New Zealand.

The middle photo

pipes that go to the

four ‘stands’ (8

shows the 3 pipes

at the four concrete

stands (in a line

looking south).

The FOODBANK OP SHOP

The shop will be closed until 25th May, but if the

footpath is completed opening will be sooner - don’t

want to be closed too long! We have rearranged the

shop and had a good clean.

Lots of new stock, but we do need towels, pillows and

tea towels. At the moment - no more clothes.

Thank you for your support, Milly & Staff

The Hinamoki development, which borders Takahoa on Oneriri Road, had

its official naming and blessing carried out by

Rev John Marsden on Saturday 15 May.

Recent works done there have created a very

impressive landscape. Four sections have

been sold with building work begun, and

more in the pipeline. New owners and locals

were present to witness proceedings and were

treated to a superb morning tea by hostess

and manager Jacquie Taylor-Lynds, pictured

LIVE FOR WHAT MATTERS!

Imagine Albertland/Auckland

Wellsford Library Short Story Competition

Albertland was to be a city to rival Auckland. This short story challenge is to

imagine that it had. How would New Zealand have been shaped if its largest city

was based around the Kaipara Harbour? Could you imagine a safer harbour and a

prosperous city? Or one besieged with drownings and piracy? It is up to you. All

genres welcome. Teen (13-19) and Adult categories. Winning entries will be on

display in the library; writer permitting.

Submit by 30June to wellslib@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz with the subject heading

Albertlander Short Story Competition, Please email the above address for

more information and full terms and conditions.

Show, early 1900s.’ WH Marsh Collection 2004.2.98.585

If you work harder, you can earn more

money, but you can't earn more time.

To coin a popular song, ‘Time may be

money, but your money won’t buy

time.’

There's a story about a man who

worked the late shift at a factory, who

walked home in the early hours. One

night he took a shortcut through the

cemetery.

Failing to notice the new grave that had

just been dug in the centre of his path,

he fell into it. After several

unsuccessful attempts to get out, he

decided to relax until morning when

someone was around to help him. As he

sat in the corner of the grave half

asleep, a fellow traveller who had

overindulged at the bar stumbled in

beside him. Desperate to get out, the

drunk started yelling and clawing

frantically at the sides. At that point our

hero reached out, touched him gently

on the leg, and said, ‘It’s no use, friend,

I’ve tried. You’ll never get out of here.’

Not surprisingly - he did! He jumped

out!

A periodic visit to the local cemetery

might help you re-evaluate and

reprioritise your life! For example, it

might encourage you to stop and ask

yourself what you’re really living for. A

rut is simply a grave with the ends

kicked out. Don’t just make a living;

get out of your rut and make a

difference. Don’t just leave an

inheritance; leave a legacy that will

enrich the lives of those who follow

you.

Ref. Word for the Day, Rhema Media

Have

you

visited

the

Kaiwaka Cemetery?

The

original

Kaiwaka

Settlers

Interdenominational Church was built

on the cemetery site in 1878, pictured

below left in 1918. In the early 1950s

the church was sold privately and

removed. To commemorate the

building of the church by the pioneers,

the brick chapel was erected in 1956,

pictured below.

Commemorative plaques maybe placed

in the chapel. For further information

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

BOOKS FOR SALE

Have you seen the 'new' books for sale? We had a clean-out

of our non-fiction shelves the other week, so there is a stack

of newly discarded books on the sales shelves/table to pick

through, along with fiction and kids' books. They're 50c

each, 3 for $1, or 10 for $2.50.

DARGAVILLE

LIBRARY

TEMPORARY

CLOSING

On Friday 28 May Dargaville Library will be closing their

doors at 5pm and reopening on Tuesday 15 June, so they can

have a refresh in the library. Now is a good time to order

books from their shelves to arrive before they close - place a

hold by Wednesday 26 May for delivery to Kaiwaka Library

on the 27th. Go to Enterprise* to search the catalogue and

place a hold or get in touch with me and let me know what

you're looking for.

ROADWORKS

Have you seen the work going on outside the hall and

library? The footpath is being replaced, and a pedestrian

island and disabled parking spaces are being installed

amongst other things. Right now, it's a bit of a mess outside,

but we are still open our usual hours. Look carefully to see

how to navigate through the works to our door - as I write

this article last week, the entrance is via the phone exchange

driveway between the hall and library. We're expecting the

new concrete to be laid at the end of this week. We will also

open the doors facing State Highway 1 when it's not too cold

and windy to do so, for easier access.

BOOK REVIEW



Recently I've read Potiki by

Patricia Grace.

"In a small

coastal  community  threatened  by
developers  who  would  ravage
their lands it is a time of fear and
confusion  –  and  growing  anger.
The prophet child Tokowaru-i-te-
Marama

his

people's

struggles  against  bulldozers  and
fast  money  talk.  When  dramatic
events menace the marae, his grief
and rage threaten to burst beyond
the  confines  of  his  twisted  body.
His  all-seeing  eye  looks  forward
to  a  strange  and  terrible  new  dawn.  Patrica  Grace's  second
novel  is  a  work  of  spellbinding  power  in  which  the  myths  of
older times are inextricably woven into the political realities of
today."

This award-winning book is beautifully written, and

despite the events that happen in it, it was a joy to read. This

book is held at Dargaville Library; you can place a hold on it

to pick up at Kaiwaka, and we have some of her other titles

on our shelves.



The Satapur Moonstone by

Sujata Massey was also a good

read. It's the second book in the

Perveen Mistry series.

Perveen is

India's  only  female  lawyer  at  the
time  this  story  is  set  (1922)  and
finds  she  has  access  to  female
clients  her  male  counterparts  do
not,  including  the  widow  of  a
maharaja,  who  is  in  dispute  with
her  mother-in-law  about  the
education  of  her  son,  the  new
maharaja  who  is  a  teenager  and  a
ward  if  the  state  until  he  is  old
enough  to  be  crowned.

Like the

first book A murder at Malabar Hill, it is an insightful look

into a world vastly different to ours, and an enjoyable read.

Both titles are on our Rental Fiction shelves, and the third is

on order for delivery when it is published in the near future.
