27 July 2021

A NIGHT TO CELEBRATE THE

DONALDSON AND JAQUES FAMILIES

Last Wednesday night was an opportunity for our Kaiwaka

Community to gather at the KSA and recognise the outstanding

contribution made by two local families.

Our KSA chairman, Wayne Leslie welcomed everyone and

outlined why Kaiwaka needed to recognise the part these two

families have played.

Evan Wright spoke of the influence the Jaques family have had for

nigh on one hundred years serving not only the local Four Square

but the music supplied by the Jaques boys around all the local

dances - they still have all the talents and the word is that they are

going to have another music night (watch the Bugle). Special

mention of Paula Jaques in financial guidance to the KSA,

following on from her father-in-law Brian, was treasurer for over

20 years.

Doug and Lenore have been active locally for well over fifty years

- Doug as a young man served on the Kaiwaka Domain Board,

thirty-one years on the Matakohe Museum area committee and

nearly as long for the Otamatea St. John Area committee. He was

the team leader when the Kaiwaka St. John Ambulance station was

purchased. His wife Lenore was a long time staffer at Otamatea

High School, Board representative and student adviser. Lenore is a

long serving JP , and marriage and funeral celebrant .

It was nice the way several speakers came forward to pay tribute to

these families.

The night was officially called a farewell as both families - Doug

and Lenore will eventually move to Auckland, and Paula and Greg

are moving to Whangarei. However with their local ties we still

expect to see plenty of them.

THE FATHER

Friday 30 July, 7.30pm

‘Anthony (Anthony Hopkins) is 80,

mischievous, living defiantly alone and

rejecting the carers that his daughter,

Anne (Olivia Colman), encouragingly

introduces. Yet help is also becoming a

necessity for Anne; she can't make daily

visits anymore and Anthony's grip on

reality is unravelling. As we experience

the ebb and flow of his memory, how

much of his own identity and past can

Anthony cling to? THE FATHER

warmly embraces real life, through

loving reflection upon the vibrant

human condition; heart-breaking and

uncompromisingly poignant -- a movie

that nestles in the truth of our own lives.

Welcome to Denise and her ‘True Story ‘

“My story: I've been living and working in the area for

the last 7 years and when this space came up for lease I

saw an opportunity to open a shop that focused on fair

trade products.

It's important to be conscious about the purchases we all

make, our choices can make a big impact and by buying

fair trade products we can do our bit to make the world a

better place.

I'm stocking a range of fair trade gifts, homewares, bags and musical

instruments, and will look at expanding into locally produced products in the

future.

Hours: Currently open every day except Saturday. ~ Denise’

Out from the playground on Kaiwaka-

pedestrian crossing tongues’ have been

ground to a smaller size - a bit of trial

and error, as is similar for the one on

the opposite side of the road.

Pictured left is one of the pedestrian

‘crossing arms’ or lollipops all ready

for the Kaiwaka pupils - arms are

locked in place until ready for use.

CHANGEOVER

The

29June

saw

our

Changeover from one Rotary

year to the next.

Rodney

Tysoe

has agreed to be

President for this year as well

and we look forward to

supporting him with work both in this

community and overseas.

We were fortunate to have a number of

personnel from the new District 9910

Executive as well as several past

District Governors with us that night.

Elaine, Past DG spoke about the new

Satellite club at Mangawhai and what it

meant for our wider community. As a

result of this 8 of the 12 new members

were inducted.

The Paul Harris Fellow Award

was presented to five very surprised

recipients. (Paul Harris was the founder

of Rotary in 1907) and to give this

award our club has to have contributed

$US1K to the Rotary Foundation for

each recipient. The Rotary Foundation

is the Rotary Charity Arm. The

recipients were: Tim Magill, Vipin

Chand, Bronwyn Ellison, Albie

Paton and Eileen Parsons.

President Rodney then outlined the

work we had undertaken during the

year. It is obvious that we have

achieved a great deal in the past year

(as has been outlined in previous

monthly reports.) He then spoke of his

aims for this year: Growth, service and

publicity. Having the inauguration of

the Mangawhai Satellite club in the

past year has meant growth in the East

so we now need to focus on growth in

our Club as a whole. This year’s

international motto is SERVICE TO

CHANGE LIVES.

Some of us were able to take up

the invitation from Otamatea

High School to a High Tea

hosted and provided by the Year 10

Hospitality students. Not only did these

young people excel in the preparation

of all the food, but also in the

presentation. During the afternoon the

students interacted with their guests in

a very positive way. Thank you OHS

for giving us the opportunity to be

involved in this.

Our Club will continue to be involved

with the new Satellite club at

Mangawhai and the sailing activity.

They will be meeting twice a month on

a Thursday and of course, their

members are welcome at our weekly

meetings.

We continue to be grateful for the

catering support of the OHS Netball

team and the DOE Gold group. Our

meals are a win/win situation as we not

only receive a delicious meal, but we

are able to support these groups’

fundraising efforts.

Our four driving mentors continue to

provide Restricted licence tutoring to

people in our area. Last year we had 17

successful applicants and already this

year we have had two. The new car is

going well, and we are grateful to Dean

Garnett for his upkeep of our car. It is

great to know we have someone we can

depend on when we have a problem.

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.

MAUNGATUROTO AND DISTRICTS ROTARY

LIFE MEMBER NORTHLAND SDTA

Photo: Arthur Porritt (left) wins bronze

in the 100-m sprint at the 1924

Olympics (Radio New Zealand)

The Academy Award-winning film

Chariots of fire (1981) was based on

a true story about British athletes

who competed at the 1924 Paris

Olympics.

During the film one of the main

characters, Briton Harold Abrahams,

wins gold in the 100-m sprint.

American Jackson Scholz finishes

second, while New Zealander ‘Tom

Watson’ comes third. Watson was

based on Arthur Porritt, who

reportedly refused permission for his

name to be used in the film out of

modesty.

Porritt was one of four New Zealanders

who competed at the 1924 Olympics.

He claimed to have been selected not

only because he was New Zealand’s

fastest sprinter but because it was

cheap to get him to Paris – he was

studying medicine at Oxford.

About 30,000 spectators saw Porritt,

Abrahams,

Scholz

and

fellow

Americans Charley Paddock, Loren

Murchison and Chet Bowman contest

the 100 m final. Scholz was the fastest

away and still led at the halfway point,

but with 20 m to go Abrahams edged

ahead to win in 10.6 seconds, followed

closely by Scholz (10.7 seconds) and

Porritt (10.8 seconds).

New Zealanders had competed in

athletics

Olympics.

Taranaki walker Harry Kerr had won

bronze for the Australasian team in

1908, but Porritt’s was the first track

medal won by New Zealand – and in

one of the glamour events. It was an

amazing feat – Porritt did not even

have a coach. Following the Games he

trained under Abrahams’ coach, Sam

Mussabini, and in 1925 he beat

Abrahams over 100 yards (91 m). Until

Abrahams’ death in 1978 the two men

and their wives dined together at 7 p.m.

on 7 July every year to commemorate

their final.

Porritt captained the New Zealand

team at the Amsterdam Olympics in

1928 but had to withdraw from the 100

m because of injury. By then a trained

physician, he treated members of the

New Zealand team, including boxer

Ted Morgan, who won gold. Porritt

was team manager at the 1936 Berlin

Olympics, where he crucially advised

Jack Lovelock to compete in the 1500

m, which he won, rather than the 5000

From 1934 to 1967 Porritt was the

New Zealand

member

of the

International

Olympic

Committee

(IOC). He greeted New Zealand teams

when they arrived in London on their

way to various Olympic Games,

arranging

medical

treatment,

accommodation, training facilities and

equipment. He also presented Yvette

Williams (1952), Murray Halberg

(1960) and Peter Snell (1960 and 1964)

with their Olympic gold medals. Sir

Arthur Porritt was accorded life

membership of the IOC when he

resigned to become Governor-General

of New Zealand (1967–72).

TE PĀTAKA O KAIWAKA -

THE STOREHOUSE OF KAIWAKA

Te Pataka o Kaiwaka is the recently renamed organisation for the Kaiwaka Food

Bank and Kaiwaka Op Shop.

At our June public meeting for the Food Bank and Op Shop, those present voted

on a new name to represent both the Food Bank and Op Shop and Te Pataka o

Kaiwaka was the overwhelming winner. Translated the name means, The

Storehouse of Kaiwaka.

Further to the name, we also voted on a purpose statement and again the clear

winner was ‘Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou, ka ora ai te iwi’ which means

‘With your food basket and my food basket the

people will thrive’. A fitting name and purpose

statement for the great work the Food Bank and Op

Shop currently do and will continue to do into the

future.

Please be sure to keep checking in to the Facebook

page for all matters concerning Te Pataka o

Kaiwaka; opportunities where you can serve and

help and most importantly information as to who to

see if you need help!

Manaakitanga,

Ant Pedersen, Chairman

Te Pataka o Kaiwaka

HELL READING CHALLENGE 2021

We are taking part in this reading challenge again. How

does it work? Kids in school years 1 to 8 read a book, report

to the library about it, and earn a stamp on a card for each

book. Collect 7 stamps on a card, and trade it in at Hell

Pizza for a free pizza. More information at https://

www.facebook.com/HELLReadingChallenge or ask at the

library.

NEW JUNIOR BOOKS

A book order arrived at the library just as I was writing this

report, and I can't wait to tell you about some of the

fantastic new books coming to our shelves for kids. They

will be ready to borrow soon, but in the meantime, you can

place a hold in Enterprise* or the library app on your phone

to be in the queue as soon as they hit the shelves.

In the Junior Picture Book section is Pirate Stew by Neil

Gaiman and Chris Riddell and Rona Moon Ko Rona

Māhina by Tim Tipene and Theresa Reihana. Both are

great stories to read to your smaller kids, or the older ones

can read to themselves. Rona Moon is in both English and

Maori.

In the Junior Non Fiction section you'll find Whiti

Colossal Squid of the Deep by Victoria Cleal and Isobel

Joy Te Aho-White - full of interesting information and

glorious illustrations about life in the icy waters of the Ross

Sea in Antarctica (594 CLE), and How Do I Feel? by

Rebekah Lipp and Craig Phillips - a dictionary of emotions

for children, with 60+ definitions to help children identify

and understand their emotions (152 LIP).

BOOK REVIEW

Recently I've read the Aurora Teagarden series by

Charlaine Harris. Does the name sound familiar to you?

The books have been made into a tv series that has been on

NZ television in recent times.

Aurora, Roe to her friends, is a

librarian in the town of Lawrenceton, Georgia, who belongs to
the  Real  Murders  Club  -  a  group  of  crime  buffs  who  get
together  to  talk  about  famous  murders.  In  the  first  book,  just
before the group is due to start a meeting, a member is found
dead, and then other people one by one are murdered - in ways
that  copy  the  styles  of  well-known  murders.

I've read this

author before, we have several of her books in the library,

and this series did not disappoint. There are 10 books in the

series, and Dargaville Library has them all - the first 8 titles

are collected in two omnibus books, plus the last two as

separate items. You can find them all in the library

catalogue - either on the phone app or at Enterprise* - by

searching on the character's name. Or let me know you'd

like to read them I can place a hold for you. The first title

Real Murders is also available as an audio book in the

Libby app. Do read them in order, so you get the

progression of Aurora's life over the years, from a single

woman dating Arthur Smith, a local police detective, to...

well, that would be telling, wouldn't it?!

See you in the library! ~Wendy

RED HOT PROPERTY DEMAND

CONTINUES IN KAIPARA.

Kaye McElwain from Ray White

has lived in the

area for 16 years and has worked in real estate for more

than two decades as an agent and business

owner. Starting today, she will be doing a monthly

column with commentary and analysis on what’s

happening in our local real estate market.

Over the past 12 months the change in property values

have seen the average price across New Zealand rise by

22.8 per cent to an average value of $906,532. So why

is the national and local property market continuing to

boom?

Real estate markets are driven by several factors;

however, the two basic fundamentals of supply (the

number of total properties for sale) and demand (the number of buyers active in

the marketplace) play a significant role in establishing market conditions that

favour sellers or buyers. In general terms, when supply is low, and demand is

high conditions are favourable for sellers. Conversely, when supply is high and

demand is low, conditions are favourable for buyers.

So, what are we seeing now? Simply put, we are selling more than we are

listing which is creating an under supply of stock. According to statistics from

realestate.co.nz, Northland has seen a substantial decrease in the total number of

listings for the month of June, down 47.8%, compared to

last year.

Combined with sustained levels of unprecedented demand,

the property market is firmly favouring those that are

looking to sell despite the recent housing policy

announcement by the Government.

In summary, if you’re looking to sell, there has never been a

better time to do it. Historically, we always have more

sellers coming to the market in Springtime, so if you want

to get the jump on other sellers, now is the perfect time.

If you would like to take advantage of these unprecedented

times in the property market, or you’re just curious to see

what your home is now worth, call me today for chat and a

free market appraisal 027 215 2016.

Have a good week, Kaye
