MUCK IN FOR MCCLEAN PARK KAIWAKA

BOOM!

It's incredible the change that can be made in just a few hours when

you've got a team of go-getters on your side.

Kaiwaka Can's group of amazing volunteers ripped through stage one of

their Muck-In for McClean Park on Sunday- riverbank and pest-plant clearing.

The kikuyu grass was no match for the Grillo mower and blokes in chaps

wielding weed-eaters. Chainsaws and pole saws tidied up low hanging

branches making the park feel safer and more open. The woodchipper was fed

continuously, and by the end of the morning parts of the park had been chipped

into a generous pile of mulch, ready to nurture new plants in the very near

future.

A selection of medium sized privet trees was left untouched until the

transformation project reaches planting stage, because currently they are doing

an excellent job of shading out and suppressing other weeds that could take

over. Smaller privet and woolly nightshade were satisfyingly pulled out by the

roots, and nine bags of general rubbish collected.

Better connecting McClean Park to the waterway is a huge

advantage to local families and visitors, providing Kaiwaka an

open,

inviting

waterside

picnic

area and a venue

where kayakers and

paddleboarders can

access the waterway

safely.

A huge thank you

to all the families,

businesses,

and

individuals

who

joined

Kaiwaka

Can to 'Muck-In

for

McClean

Park'.

From Alicia - ‘As some of you may or may not

know I've just come back from a 7-day recruit

course in Mount Wellington, Auckland, where

there were 10 Recruits and numerous trainers.

Over the days we covered things such as hoses,

ladder work, working with heights and a day

rural (which I really enjoyed). For the other 3 or

4 days we learnt and trained in breathing

apparatus, completing the BATB obstacle

course, entrapment techniques and also worked

with live fire

the

Auckland

Airport where

we learnt a lot

about

fire

behavior and

of course the

heat!

The

whole

course was very challenging and informative.

I feel that I've started my journey in the

Kaiwaka Fire Brigade on a good footing. The

training I received before I left was definitely

‘on point’ and was consolidated this last week.

I believe Kaiwaka is in great hands because of

the past, present and future fire brigade

members.’

ABOUT TOWN

Sadly the most reported problem in town are these “ISLANDS”.

These two ‘pedestrian safety zone’ mounds have caused a number of flat tyres,

bumps and bruises. The lack of visibility has made passing or missing them

difficult. The road marking has helped, but now we have vehicles trying to

squeeze next

the kerb (see

bottom photo)

where before

vehicle

could

park

safely.

Parking is a

problem.

would

like to know

when will the

pavement be

sealed and the

gone?

MANGAWHAI

SATELLITE

CLUB

Our Rotary Club’s new venture is

going ahead in leaps and bounds and at

the moment we are in the process of

updating our own Constitution and By-

laws in order to set up a Satellite club

Mangawhai.

While

the

Maungaturoto Club will be the

“Mother Club” the Satellite Club will

operate in a manner that is chosen by

the

membership.

The

initial

requirement is for the Satellite club to

have at least eight members from

whom they will choose a President,

Secretary and Treasurer (at the moment

they have twelve people interested).

SAILING ACTIVITY

The immediate focus of the Club is the

setting up of a sailing activity in the

Mangawhai Estuary, but the Satellite

can choose to branch out into other

areas of interest to the members. This

club is planning on meeting twice a

month and members are welcome to

attend the Maungaturoto Club when it

suits them. We are looking forward to

the launching of the sailing activity,

hopefully in September when daylight

saving starts again.

DOE SCHEME

We have a close association with

Otamatea High School, and we were

fortunate in having the Acting

Principal, Dirk Smyth come and talk to

us about the Duke of Edinburgh

scheme and the personal growth that is

attained by the participants. He also

spoke about the William Pike challenge

for year 7 and 8 students and Nyree

Alcock answered questions

in relation to this. Both of

these courses are aimed at

developing

better

connection with community

while the students gain more

confidence and resilience.

RUDY VAN DER POL

Many of us are aware of the enormous

talent that is abundant in this

community, and we were able to get an

insight into one of these people. Rudy

van der Pol spoke about his progress in

the art world, initially with mixed

media but latterly with sculpture. He

brought along several pieces of his

work, and they were truly amazing. He

also spoke about the process involved,

especially when working with copper.

His website is definitely worth a visit.

DRIVER MENTORING

In the past week we have had two

Driver Mentoring students successful

in attaining their Restricted licence. To

run this program successfully we need

to match car, student and Mentor

availability. Thank you to our Mentors.

We really appreciate

your

help

and

support.

CONTACT

Please feel free to

call

Eileen,

0211420357 if you

would like to join us,

help us out with our

projects or have a

message you would

like to share with us.

COWS DON’T GIVE MILK

A father used to say to his children when they were young: When you all reach

the age of 12 I will tell you the secret of life. One day when the oldest turned 12,

he anxiously asked his father what the secret of life was. The father replied that

he was going to tell him, but that he should not reveal it to his brothers.

The secret of life is this: The cow does not give milk. "What are you saying?"

Asked the boy incredulously. “As you hear it, son: The cow does not give milk,

you have to milk it. You have to get up at 4 in the morning, go to the field, walk

through the corral full of manure, tie the tail, hobble the legs of the cow, sit on

the stool, place the bucket and do the work yourself.

That is the secret of life, the cow does not give milk. You milk her or you don't

get milk. There is this generation that thinks that cows GIVE milk. Those things

are automatic and free: their mentality is that if "I wish, I ask... I obtain."

"They have been accustomed to get whatever they want the easy way...But no,

life is not a matter of wishing, asking and obtaining. The things that one receives

are the effort of what one does.

Happiness is the result of effort.

Lack

effort

creates

frustration."

So, share with your children

from a young age the secret of

life, so they don't grow up with

the

mentality

that

the

government, their parents, or

their cute little faces is going to

give them everything they need

in life.

Remember: "Cows don't give

milk; you have to work for it."

ONERIRI IN JUNE:

CISTUS:

The shortest day and a bee is still hard

at work. where there's a flower there's

the will. The cistus under the poplars

are full of flowers. Cistus, Mediterranean native.

Drought tolerant and cope with poor soil. I have lots

of them. Love the white ones. I have some pink

that's rather nice as well.

WINTER ROSE:

Helleboure or winter

rose. Full of flowers at

the moment. They need

a shady spot with lots

of leaf mulch. Mine are

under the poplars in the

long border. I adore

them. Green flowers

really do it for me.

They will self-sow and

will

being

moved around.

FRAGARIA:

A pretty strawberry. I

call

wild

strawberry. It certainly

grows like one. I don't

know much about it

and am not even sure

where I got it from. But

I'm sure glad I've got it.

This one is growing in

the gravel beside our

front step. Not planted

but perfectly happy.

Flowering

cheerfully

on the coldest day of the year so far. 0 degrees here

this morning. A bit of shock for us but apparently

not this little beauty.

IRIS SETOSA:

There are several varieties. This one is rather small

but the flower is oversized for the size of the plant.

And it likes the cold. Growing happily jammed between rocks. Tough and cute

that'll do me. ~ Heather, Oneriri Plants 021 766399

HANDS-ON PUSH AGAINST PESTS

Neighbours have stepped forward and council will

continue to take a back seat in an Oneriri group's

strategy to manage introduced pests on the peninsula.

Seventeen attended the late June meeting with

Northern Regional Council biosecurity officer Paul

Ralph, pictured left, to review tactics for the Kaira

Oneriri Biosecurity Area (Koba) of 1570 hectares.

The Koba group reviewed control methods and

supported personal decision-making, as circumstances

arise, on trap type, use of the .22, poison and bait. The

application for further funding from NRC will add

"live catch" traps to the list.

Cooperation is important to uphold predator/pest

control aims (highlighted by the recent RNZ/TVNZ

innovation fund series "Fight for the Wild") with local community action groups

the best chance of success.

Further biosecurity areas can be established on Oneriri as more get involved.

Two other NRC biosecurity areas on the peninsula (Otamatea Eco Village and

Takahoa Bay) had reps. at this get-together.

Paul Ralph says establishment of biosecurity areas is a growing trend in

Northland. One proposal from the meeting is for online mapping of catches by

biosecurity area so all can see progress against

pests as it happens. More on this will be in an

extended article on the column.nz website.

is: 021 1214746.

THE BEST TRAP EVER

Held together by nails, this wood and wire live

trap is a single solution for possums, rats, stray

cats and hedgehogs.

Knowing where to place it, and

irresistible aromas in its timbers,

are key to its successes over 16

years.

It's better than the live wire trap,

and while others swear by

Timms and Doc200s, Oneriri

farmer

Tony

Hargreaves

reckons the battered old box

can't be beaten.

"And the dogs deal with the

contents."

The Koba group

wants

another

half-dozen

supplement its

trap library.

OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL

From Dirk Smyth, Acting Principal's Notes

GRIP: Last week all the prefects to the GRIP (Generosity, Responsibility,

Integrity, People) student leadership conference at the Vodafone Events Centre

in Auckland. It was a very entertaining day and our students learned what

leadership was about and how they can become better leaders themselves. Some

of the ideas they came away with were: How to involve more students in school

events e.g., inter-iwi competitions, and How to improve the effectiveness of

something already important at school e.g. Open Day.

High Tea: On Tuesday our year 10 Food

Technology students hosted the school's

first High Tea event. Members from the

Rotary Club of Maungaturoto were our

special guests for the afternoon and they

were treated to a variety of delicious

cakes, tarts, donuts, croissants, cheeses

and other goodies, as well as a selection

of teas and cold drinks. Our students

provided excellent customer service and

were wonderful ambassadors for our

school. Well done to Ms Meachin for organising this event.

LIBRARY VOLUNTEERS

Last

week

was

National

Volunteer Week. Every year in

Aotearoa over 1 million kiwis

volunteer their time, energy and

minds for various organisations

to help make a difference in their

communities. NVW recognises

the huge impact they make and

thank them for their service. I give my thanks to the team of

wonderful volunteers who give their time and efforts to

make our library the great place it is.

And many thanks to Lindsey, who has stepped down from

the team after 15 years of service with us.

As I was writing this article last week, I was still in the

process of contacting people who responded last time we

had a vacancy in the team, to see if any of them were able

to take on the available day, so that was still in progress at

that point in time. If you would like to add your name to the

waiting

list,

send

(kaiwaka.library@gmail.com) and let me know. You need

to have regular access to your emails and be familiar with

using a Windows 10 computer. Full training is given when

you join the team.

OVERDUES NOTICES

From time to time a book is returned to the library and gets

accidentally put on the shelves without being discharged

from the borrower's account. It's nothing to do with us

being volunteers, it happens to professional librarians too.

Just one of those things. If you receive a notice from the

library about an overdue item and you're sure you have

returned it already, please get in touch and let us know so

we can check the shelves.

If you have an email notice, forward it to

kaiwaka.library@gmail.com and then we have all the

details. Otherwise, you can phone the library or text my

mobile if you have the number. Don't leave it for weeks

until the item is marked in the system as lost and a charge

placed on your account - get onto it straight away so it can

be sorted before it becomes a problem.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently, I've read and enjoyed

the Cato Kwong series by Alan

Carter. "

The world is in economic

meltdown, but a mining town on
the edge of nowhere is booming.
With

the

town’s

population

exploding, it’s easy enough to hide
a  crime—or  even  a  dirty  past.
Banished  to  the  stock  squad  after
the fallout from a police frame-up,
Detective  Senior  Sergeant  Cato
Kwong is brought in from the cold
to solve the case of a torso washed
up on the wild shores of the Great
Southern  Ocean.  When  Kwong’s
investigation  lifts  the  lid  on  the  exploitation  of  migrant
workers and disturbs an even darker criminal mind, the fallen
cop  faces  powerful  opposition.  Drawing  in  globally  relevant
issues,  such  as  immigration,  racism,  and  the  economic  crisis,
this  is  a  humorous  and  tightly  plotted  crime  narrative

." All

four books in this Western Australian series, (1) Prime Cut,

(2) Getting Warmer, (3) Bad Seed, and (4) Heaven Sent, are

on the Rental Fiction shelves in the library.

See you in the library! ~Wendy
