KAIWAKA CHECKERS TO THE FORE

CHECKER OF THE YEAR

On July 27th, Four Square Kaiwaka attended the Northland round of the Foodstuffs Checker of the Year competition.

Checker of the Year is a unique checkout competition that involves the Pak N Save, New World and Four Square brand

and has been running for over 70 years. Checkout operators compete against each other in a staged shopping situation.

Judges score the operators on factors such as speed, accuracy, presentation and customer service. Those competing for Four

Square Kaiwaka were Jean McLeish, Lish Reynolds, Yvonne Smith, Brenda Ferguson and Caleesto Mills. Although the

podium places were made up of Pak N Save and New World operators from around the Northland region, all the girls did

amazingly well – for most it was their first time competing as well! And to cap the night off our store won “Best Dressed”

as ‘Charlie’s Angels’ and enjoyed a feed at Maccas to celebrate on the way home!

AND THE FUN GOES ON: RENOVATIONS

Along with the council roadwork changes within and around Kaiwaka, we have also been making

a few changes here at Four Square Kaiwaka which you may have seen or even heard (sorry about

the loud noises at times!). The changes that are currently underway - or are to come, have

community and its people in mind. Whether it be customer focused with an expanded range of

chilled, frozen, meat, seafood and produce - or staff focused with a streamlined storeroom and

larger storage spaces. Our mission at Four Square Kaiwaka is to help our Kaiwaka community get

more out of life. We’re confident the changes in store will go some way toward us achieving that

mission. Thanks in advance for your patience whilst the changes play out.

SUPERNOVA

Friday 13 August, 7.30pm

Sam (Colin Firth) and Tusker

(Stanley Tucci), partners of twenty

years, are travelling across England

in their old campervan visiting

friends, family and places from their

past. Following a life-changing

diagnosis (Tusker was diagnosed

with early-onset dementia two years

ago), their time together has become

more important than ever until

secret plans test their love like never

before.

Conquering your toughest enemy – yourself!

Richard C. Halverson, former chaplain of the United States Senate, said: ‘Want

to be a winner? Compete against yourself, not somebody else…Outrunning your

rival doesn’t mean you ran your best race. You can win over another and still not

fulfil your potential…To be your best, you must compete with yourself. It’s life’s

biggest contest. A loser is a winner – however many his losses – if he conquers

himself.

A winner is a loser – however many his victories – if he loses the battle with

himself. Alexander the Great conquered the world and cursed his own lack of

self-control.

Victory over others may in fact be the very thing that contributes to the winner’s

failure to conquer self. Winning makes him proud, arrogant, independent,

thoughtless – and sometimes cruel.

To put it another way, it isn’t what happens to you that makes the difference, but

how you handle it .’

WOMENS SECTION

There was a good attendance at

the meeting on Thursday 22nd

July.

A moments silence was observed

for former member Pat Judd and

Whangarei Member Trudy Beamish

who both passed away recently. Pat was

a loved and respected member who was

always there to lend a hand and we

missed her when she and her husband

(now deceased) had to shift to Orewa

for health reasons.

Trudy, known to some as Gertie was an

ex Maungaturoto member and we

always included her in the invite to

Whangarei to attend our Birthdays

which she did.

We have an invite to attend Franklins

76th Birthday on 13th September at 11

a.m. and an invite to Waipu's mid-

winter luncheon on 23rd September

11.30 a.m.

A trip is being planned to Ryder's in

Avondale about October to have a roast

dinner followed by a movie of our

choice and the Ryder family also have a

collection of memorabilia and antiques

to view, the film we will attend will be

chosen at our next meeting.

Pamela Truscott had a very important

Birthday this month congratulations on

your 85th Birthday Pamela.

The 1st prize in the raffle was won by

June Wilson and second prize went to

Shirley De Vries.

Margaret Haverfield gave a very

interesting talk on her time in the

Services. She joined in1959 and was

sent to Airfields to do Square Bashing

(learning to march). Living in Hong

Kong mosquitoes were a problem, so

she set herself up with a fan and

covered herself completely in a blanket.

One of the first things they were issued

with was a wooden coffin and they had

to keep their clothes and belongings in

it. Margaret became a registered Nurse

after 2 years, and spent 5 years on

Princes and 4 Royal Navy.

NEXT MEETING:

The next meeting is Thursday 26th

August at 1.15 p.m.

Our speaker for August is Jon,

president of the Mangawhai Surf Club.

We are looking forward to hearing from

Jon.

Hostesses are Ann and Trish

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

There hasn’t been anything

too dramatic to report this

month.

We are 2 thirds of the way through winter

but hold on folks, summer will be here

before we know it. July

seemed to me to

be a very wet and cold month but when

I added up the days of rain and the

amount of rain, it wasn’t as bad as I

thought. Maybe it just seemed that way

as our household was laid up for 4

weeks of the month with this nasty head

cold/ flu/cough, virus that is attacking

the district.

Our lawn is extremely wet in places,

and I can’t get the lawn mower near it

for fear of getting stuck.

At our place we recorded rain or drizzle

over 17 days in July, with a total of

160ml.

Last year we recorded 305.5ml.

The year of 2013, for July, we only

recorded 45.5ml. Quite a contrast.

Stay well and keep warm everyone,

Karen

New Zealand has

just experienced

its warmest June

and July since

records began in 1909 and - with one

month to go - is on track for its second

successive warmest winter on record.

NIWA meteorologist Ben Noll says,

"There have been a number of factors

which have contributed to the warmer

temperatures. Air pressure has been

higher than normal in the east so far

this winter which has brought more

north-easterly winds to New Zealand

bringing warmer air from the sub-

tropics. With the June and July

temperatures tracking so far above

average, this winter had a firm lead on

last year’s figures. This is consistent

with

our

expectations.

the

background, the long-term tailwind of

climate change continues to churn. Of

the seven warmest June and Julys, six

have occurred since 2000. For the year

to the end of July 2021 ranks as the

sixth warmest on record.

NEIGHBOURS

How important they are in our lives

whether they live next door

or along the lane

they become part of our 'family

and can keep us sane.

To be kind to each other

as directed by our mothers

and are an inspiration to us each day

be there for each other in times

of need, sorrow, celebration,

brings us comfort for tomorrow

and nourishes our Nation.

~ Susan

LIBBY JONES –

Member Northland District Health Board

KAIWAKA CAN

We've been hibernating, how about you?

It feels good to pause, recharge, and reflect on what has been

achieved so far this year. The next stage of works transforming McClean Park

will kick off as soon as the weather settles, and the ground is dry enough. Due to

the great turn out at our first working bee, a massive amount of progress was

made in just two hours, so keep an eye out for updates on our Facebook page if

you'd like to get involved.

Looking

beyond

McClean

Park's

transformation

and

riverbank restoration, we've got

a massive opportunity to work

towards improving the health of

our precious Kaipara harbour at

our fingertips.

The

Kaipara

Moana

Remediation

Project

has

allocated a significant amount of

money to the Kaipara District

for riparian planting and we're

working on getting our hands on

some of it. Native

trees and plants grown

from

locally

eco-

sourced plant material

will be used for

riparian

plantings

along waterways and

wetlands,

reducing

sediment

run

off,

reducing

nitrogen

levels and boosting

‘swimmability’

and

shellfish health.

NEXT MEETING:

Wednesday,

18th

August, Archie Bull

Hall, all welcome.

Photos of the visiting

New developments at our local

hospitals.

One of the objectives of the board is to

get more services closer to home, which

saves Northlanders having to travel out

of the area and creates a better all-round

service locally. Northland is the fastest

growing region in New Zealand, so it is

great when we can provide our own

specialist services and improve services

locally for patients.

Some of the particular challenges of our

current hospital in Whangarei are being

addressed, while we wait for the new

hospital that we are planning for.

Having two new extra theatres now

open means that more surgical

procedures can be delivered, and

procedures are less likely to be

cancelled as a result of accidents and

other acute emergencies.

The new cardiac catheter laboratory has

now opened which has cleared our

waitlist for outpatient angiography tests

for heart problems, which were

previously only available in Auckland.

This is the first stage, and

other cardiac procedures

will be added over the

year.

An Assessment Unit has

been created next to the

Emergency Department to

ease the flow on ED. It is currently only

open during the day but has already

saved many unnecessary admissions to

hospital. Patients can now get the tests

they need and have supports put in

place without having to be admitted

overnight. Waiting times remain a

challenge at ED and this will start to

make a difference with more space and

more staff.

The new endoscopy suite also at

Whangarei Hospital has improved our

waitlist for colonoscopy and other

procedures as well.

Other improvements are also being

made at the regional hospitals, so rural

patients can have more services closer

to their homes too.

Stay well, mauri ora, Libby

FOUR SQUARE KAIWAKA CHECKERS

THE ST.PAUL’S CHURCH BELL

When and where did the bell for St. Paul’s Church, Kaiwaka come

from?

Some background from ‘St. Paul’s

Church, Kaiwaka – The First Fifty

Years (1935 – 1985)’, compiled by

APB Watson:

“St.

Paul’s

Church

Site

and

Construction

The section on which St. Paul’s is built

is central and elevated. It was the gift of

Mr FJ Jaques in 1931, and was part of

Allotments 38 and 200, 32.8 perches, or

1/5th acre. It was officially acquired on

13th November 1935. It was levelled by

Logan Balderston, father of Laurie,

using horses and scoop.

The builder of St. Paul’s was Mr Tom

Hutchinson who built many churches in

the north including the William Leslie

Memorial.

The timber, largely rimu, was railed

from West's mill in Helensville, and

was carted free of charge by Clarrie

Hall. Edward Coates gave the totara blocks.

Interest was widespread and was maintained by regular meetings called by

Archie Bull and held for the most part in the new public hall [on the eastern

boundary of the primary school].

The 32ft by 20ft rimu-lined building had an 8ft square bell tower porch with

squat, pointed, 4-sided shingle roof, and double doors and wooden steps giving

access at the west end. The chancel extended 8ft from the 24ft nave and the steep

pitched reef was supported by three wooden trusses with steel tie rods. The gable-

roofed vestry, 7ft square, led off from the chancel on the north side.”….

The Rev. Harvey Smith and his wife

Christine have arrived to live in

Mangawhai for the next few months.

Harvey will be looking after all the

Anglican Churches from Wellsford to

the

Brynderwyns

and

from

Whakapirau to Mangawhai Heads.

Given his age (old) he has been the

Priest in many different churches

including time in England (Basildon,

Shepherd’s Bush and Belmont) as

well as Canberra in Australia where

he was a Minister of the Word in a Uniting Church. Given that he was brought up

in Taranaki he is keen on rugby along with any sport involving a ball and does

not involve sitting down going backwards.

Christine was the inaugural Manager of Alumni Relations at two Universities

(Auckland and the Australian National University) and before that apart from

being wife and mother she found time to write two bread books both of which

sold well.

This is a new part of the world to them and to date it has been marvellous.

THE COVID JAB ~ Hugh P

Many

the

Kaiwaka area in

my age group will

now have had at

least one Covid-

19 jab judging

from the figures

for Northland.

In fact, Northland

has possibly been

doing the best in

securing

protection

for

vulnerable people.

My personal reluctance for having jabs to support natural

immunity were overcome after seeing how a mutating virus

could wreak havoc were entering new population groups. I

hadn’t been persuaded by the cascade of conspiracy theories

that tied the infection’s spread to eugenics or politics, even

though I avoid the flu jab.

A friend down south said Covid appointments were on offer

to allcomers online and a quick call secured one at noon in

Whangarei on July 26. There were plenty of cars and plenty

of parks at Okara Park and waiting for the jab was perhaps

five minutes.

Going to get it was the easy part.

Faces of staff were friendly, Anna the registered nurse

settled me and fed the needle, then I had 20 minutes reading

a paper side by side with another 30 or so folk. The waiting

time is mandated in case there are allergic reactions.

While many attending were seniors (I heard one say "83")

our waiting group covered the adult age range, including one

young policewoman.

Perhaps because I am registered with an Auckland GP/

public health organisation {PHO] I hadn’t heard from them,

although coincidentally did get a call offering it on my way

home. I also photographed a youngster going to the Otaika

pharmacy covid clinic (pictured).

When headlines on August 6 highlight the confusions and

inequalities folk round the world are facing with this

mutating disease - "WHO Calls for Moratorium on Third

Doses Amid Stark Global Vaccine Inequity" - "Amid

Soaring Profits, Moderna and Pfizer to Raise Covid-19

Vaccine Prices" - "Over Half of China’s Provinces Log New

Covid Cases" - "Illinois Issues Mask Mandate for Schools;

Arkansas Governor Regrets Signing Anti-Mask Bill" - I am

fortunate to be lined up by the public service for my second

jab to be given for free eight weeks after the first.

This weekend our Ministry of Health (MoH) advised over

2.06 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine were given to

11.59pm on 4 August and that day’s 45,802 jabs (32,230

first doses and 12,852 second doses) were a record daily

total.

"More than 115,000 Māori have

received their first vaccination. Of

these, around 73,000 have also had their

second vaccinations.

"More than 78,600 doses have been

administered to Pacific peoples. Of

these, almost 50,000 have also received

their second doses," the MoH

announced.
