ABOUT TOWN



Have you heard the shining cuckoo this spring?



Maori proverb: “Ka tangi te wharauroa, ko nga karere a Mahuru” - “If the

shining cuckoo cries it is the messenger of Spring”. See page 6



Great news - Four Square Kaiwaka have a new, much larger meat chiller

arriving in their store soon!



The equinoxes happen in March (about March 21) and September (about

September 23). These are the days when the Sun is exactly above the Equator,

which makes day and night of equal length.



When was the table fork invented?



Welcome to Mike Cuff, plumber and gasfitter, who covers Kaiwaka,

Mangawhai, Maungaturoto, Wellsford and the Warkworth/Snells Beach area -

see page 4.



The fork was introduced to Europe in the 10th century by Theophanu

Byzantine wife of Emperor Otto the 2nd (Roman), where they were in common

use by the 4th century

Nearly there! The cones are slowly disappearing.

The planting has begun. Sad to see the deep

tracks in the Puawai Street reserve are still there

- making it too difficult to mow.

STRONG CALL TO GARDEN

Two Oneriri residents heard shining cuckoo's

call early this year. Tony Hargreaves has a good

ear for the pipiwharauroa call and regularly

picks it up as the September equinox,

approaches (7.20am on Thursday the 23rd

September this year, let's party). Tony heard the

call

Monday,

August 30 at

Opiki off Rangiora Road, which a neighbour

confirmed in his own wooded back yard. The

cuckoos and their hosts, the riroriro [warblers]

are being joined by nesting kereru, kahu, ruru,

tui, kotare, matuku and putakitaki plus quail,

pheasants, magpies and a host of relatively

recent arrivals, all of which seem settled now

possum, mouse, stoat and rat threats are

reducing. ~ HP

WEATHER

I hope everyone is

managing to stay safe

and sane during the

covid lockdown.

Thank you so much to Kaiwaka 4

Square staff and management for their

polite and pleasant service during these

tough times. Gosh what a lot of angst

was caused by the incorrect locations

of Northlands southern border.

Well, here we are into Spring already.

The wind this month has been quite

cold. Our Spring bulbs have been

flowering beautifully for 2 or 3 weeks

now and the Poplar trees are getting

their new bronze-coloured leaves and

the willows are getting a very green

covering. Our lawn is still very wet in

places, and I haven't been able to mow

parts of it for 5 or 6 weeks now.

The rain records for August

have

been in keeping with its usual range

(averaging 110ml at our place).

This year I recorded 103ml for the

month.

2020s recording was 180.5ml and 2019

was 122.5ml.

The wettest August I recorded was in

2010 when we had 227.5ml and the

driest August was in 2011 with only

34.5ml.

Q - Why do Bees have sticky hair?

A - Because they use honeycombs.

Stay safe and well people, Karen

Equinoxes

happen in March (about March

21) and September (about September 23)

when the Sun is exactly above the Equator,

which makes day and night of equal length.

Solstices happen in June (20 or 21) -

winter solstice is the shortest day, and

December (21 or 22) - summer solstice the

year’s longest daylight hours.

FIRE & EMERGENCY

NEW ZEALAND

KAIWAKA

On the 14 November 2019 Kaiwaka

Volunteered Fire Brigade turned out to

a potential very dangerous house fire at

a Marshall Road address.

The fire started in the kids’ room and

the occupants were able to get quickly

out of the room and house due to a

working smoke alarm that alerted all

occupants in the house.

The room was completely fire

damaged with melted power sockets

and light fittings, but the fire was

contained in the one room due to good

fire proofing and quick response from

the fire crew.

Fire & Emergency New Zealand

believe people’s

best protection is

have

working

long-life

photoelectric smoke alarms

every bedroom, living area and hallway

in their home.

When you’re asleep, you lose your

sense of smell. Don’t assume your

smoke alarms are working. Press the

button to check regularly. If you are a

Landlord please install smoke alarms

for tenants.

alarms

The local Kaiwaka Volunteered Fire

Brigade has access to smoke alarms

for some the local community

members,

please

contact

information

CHECK YOUR SMOKE

ALARM

A smoke alarm becomes your "Nose at

Night". Most fatal fires occur during

the night when people are sleeping.

The smoke and poisonous gases

emitted from a fire are deadly. People

may be suffocated from the gases

without being awakened or even

realising there is a fire.

PIPIWHARAUROA,

THE SHINING CUCKOO

Maori welcomed the ’wharauroa as a harbinger.

Ka tangi te wharauroa, ko nga karere a Mahuru, says the proverb; “If the shining

cuckoo cries it is the messenger of Spring”.

On first hearing the welcome cry, the children greeted the bird with the

following song: —

E manu tena koe. Kua tae tenei ki te mahanatanga. Kua puawai nga rakau katoa.
Kua pa te kakara ki te ihu o te tangata. Kua puta ano koe ki runga, tioro ai.
Tioro it te whitu, tioro i te waru.
Me tioro haere ano ke koe tenei kupu e whai ake nei, te marae o tama ma, o hine ma:

Kui Kui Kui, whiti whit ora.

O bird, greeting to you. The warm season appears, and all trees have blossomed.
The fragrance reaches the nostrils of man. You again appear trilling on high.
Trilling in the seventh(month), trilling in the eighth(month).
Trill you ever forth as you fly the following message to the homes of lads and lasses:

Kui Kui Kui, whiti whit ora.

It was known as the “bird of Hawaiki”, and it has been thought possible that the

migratory flight of the cuckoo encouraged Maori to come to New Zealand. One

of the favourite landing places is said by Maori to be the Manganui Bluff, 25

miles south of Hokianga, towards the extreme north of the North Island, where

the birds may be seen in numbers after their arrival, generally in a state of

exhaustion. The bird is said to carry in its

claws a small pebble, usually white,

which it licks during flight when thirsty.

As to the mystery of how the cuckoo

places its egg in the nest of its host, “the

Maori has frequently seen the ’wharauroa

at this work. For about eight months in

the year the Maori roamed the bush

weekly and even daily — for bird, berry

and root foods. He saw the ’wharauroa

select its nest and proceed, sometimes, to

toss out the true eggs, with its bill. It

sometimes crushed them in doing so, and

sometimes ate them. It laid its own egg

either on a stump, the barrel of a prone

tree, or on the leafy ground. It then took

the egg, at times in its bill and at times in

its claws, — and put it into the nest. It

worked silently and quickly, and

sometimes remained concealed in the

vicinity as if to see what the riroriro (grey

warbler) might do with its egg.”

OPTIMIST BOATS

The Satellite club in Mangawhai

continues to go ahead in leaps and

bounds. With the grant from the Wright family foundation which has

enabled the Club to purchase and kit out four

Optimist boats (see attached photo), the club

now have 7 Optimists and 1 Starling available

for use. There are also some boats that are

being loaned by Otamatea High school. These

boats had been used for activities but have

been in storage for some time. We are grateful

for the support of Nik Tetzner who is helping

to prepare them for sailing as they have not

been used for some time.

SATELLITE CLUB

The Satellite Club

has 15 active members,

and they are looking at options for fundraising

as obviously the sailing project will have

ongoing fixed expenses, like insurance. While

this Club has the Maungaturoto club as its

umbrella, they will be working independently

of Maungaturoto and can set their own

meeting dates and times as well as the format

the meeting will take. The most recent

meeting had to be run by Zoom because of

Covid restrictions.

JOINING ROTARY

When a person joins Rotary as an

organisation, there is a tremendous amount of

training and support that is available for those

who wish to avail themselves of it. I recently

went onto My Rotary and completed some of

these on-line modules. This has been followed

up by a Zoom, on-line training which was offered to two Northern Districts,

9910 and 9920. The first one was held last week in which more than 40

Rotarians participated. This was a great way to not only come up to date with

Rotary projects old and new but also to listen to a variety of viewpoints.

POLIO PLUS DAY

October 24th is Polio Plus day when Rotarians worldwide focus on fundraising

for this cause. This project started in 1988 and since that time the number of

children affected by wild polio has reduced by 99%. From 350,000 cases in 125

countries to fewer than 200 cases today in just two countries, Afghanistan and

Pakistan.

PRESIDENT’S SCHOLARSHIP

If you have a youngster considering tertiary education of any sort, encourage

them to apply for our annual scholarship which sees $1500 given towards a

worthy recipient for their studies. (Details shown on page 3.)

SAFE STEPS ON THE GAS

LPG deliverer Dominic Foster is happy with a new tail-lift system designed

and built in the North Island.

After nearly two weeks on the Genesis Kaiwaka run on a new Fuso truck,

Dominic gives the tray and lift platform top marks for safety and efficiency.

He even had them use the timber from his retired truck tray to hurry the

conversion.

The workshop that built it in The

Mount, also makes tippers,

loggers,

crane

trucks,

curtainsiders, dump trucks [and

near anything else on and off the

road, according to its online

COVID 19 - MY EXPERIENCE

You might be sick of seeing and

hearing information on COVID 19, so

my apologies if that is the case, but

thought I’d share some of my own

experience. I’m pleased to be able to

say I am now double dosed - fully

vaccinated against COVID 19. I am

fortunate that like most people, I didn’t

have any reaction to either dose. Funny

though, because I had booked my

second dose for about 3 weeks after the

first, then when recommendations

came out that it was better to extend

that interval up to 6 weeks, I postponed

it to give a longer time between doses.

Then Bam a day later I got a cold

which turned into me being pretty

unwell for quite a few days. If I had

had the second dose of my vaccine,

would I and others have assumed that

my unwellness was related to the

vaccine? Who knows,

but it just reminds me

how we should not jump

to conclusions and make

assumptions that one

thing causes another.

UPDATES

As a DHB member I get

regular

COVID

updates

how

Northland is tracking

with testing and vaccinations, as well

as information on the rest of New

Zealand and relevant overseas data. It

is great to see the huge reduction in

deaths in the UK for example from

their Third Wave of the

virus

compared

previously, and this is

with the deadlier Delta

variant. They have so far

got to 80% vaccination

rate, and this is already making a big

difference for them.

FOR NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand can always do better than

most countries so I’m hoping we get to

over 90% vaccination coverage for our

population. We will have to re-open

our borders before too long, so COVID

19 will be back. And even at 90% rate

of coverage, modelling shows that over

the next two years we will still have

more cases of COVID 19 than we will

be happy with, including some deaths.

The deaths are unlikely to be

vaccinated people. The only way to

minimise that outcome is for everyone

to be vaccinated. We

know

that

some

vulnerable people cannot

be vaccinated and under

12s

are

not

being

vaccinated, so the rest of

us getting vaccinated

helps to keep others safe.

I know I don’t want to be

continually locked down.

Have you done your part for New

Zealand?

Keep us all well, Mauri ora, Libby

As I write this, we have just come out

of a lockdown and we are slowly

returning to a new normal. We are

lucky here in Northland, we have the

good fortune to now live within level 2

although we have noticed a little

difference in the community.

A few weeks ago, when we were at

level 4, there was a heavy demand for

food from those finding things a bit

tough. We had some in our community

with family who had visited then got

stranded in lockdown, as well as

families whose children are suddenly at

home 24/7, eating much more than

usual. We are so grateful that we have

the ability to provide for those in need.

We wanted to give a huge thank you to

Grow Paparoa, The Rapid Relief Team,

Neville from Countdown and all the

other generous groups and individuals

who have all made it possible for us to

provide some help to those in need.

Due to the uncertainty of alert

levels, we’re not able to list details

of our October calendar at this

time.

We sadly said goodbye to two of our

long-standing members of the team:

Amee Nicholson and Brigitte Fowler,

who have moved into new areas in

their careers recently –

and we welcomed on

board new members to

the agency who are already looking

like they are settling in and are ready to

do some great things for our

community.

The road is still pretty quiet; however,

shops are now open and there is more

foot traffic, which is great to see. Keep

supporting locals where you can. Kia

Kaha, From all at OCS

12TH SEPTEMBER 1994 KIWI COMPANY ONE

On 12th September 1994 Kiwi Company One deployed as part of Operation

Radian to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Operation Radian was part of the United

Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR). At the time, the deployment was the

largest New Zealand Defence Force deployment since service in Viet Nam.

UNPROFOR was mandated to observe the withdrawal of troops and to

demilitarise areas of the Former Yugoslavia. Personnel who served as part of

A short trip off SH1

KAIWAKA CAN

have been in

hibernation mode, waiting out winter and

lockdown, but spring has well and truly

sprung, and we're rested and ready to get

cracking again!

Here are some dates to mark down in the

calendar:

Sunday, 10th of October:

A tree-focused working bee to clear and open

up the area. We just need a few 'qualified'

helpers with the right gear and experience to

assist with this task. Wet weather date 17th October.

Sunday, 31st of October:

General working bee, nitty gritty of the tasks still to be determined.

Early December:

Picnic in the Park.

Bring your whānau down to the park to celebrate

community spirit and each other. Live music, food, family fun and frivolity!

We would LOVE to see 'Picnic in the Park' become an annual event for

Kaiwaka, so if you have any ideas or would like to get involved, please get in

touch. ~ Email: pukepunga@xtra.co.nz

MCCLEAN PARK AS AT LAST WEEK

The ground is very soft - please, keep off.

THE GREAT KERERŪ COUNT

17 – 26 September

The Great Kererū Count is NZ’s biggest citizen

science project to help gather information on the

abundance and distribution of the New Zealand

pigeon — also known as kererū, kūkū or kūkupa.

Everyone in New Zealand can get involved with the

Great Kererū Count, whether you see any kererū or not, sharing your

observations with us will help build up a clearer picture of where the kererū live,

how many there are and what they are feeding on.

The humble kererū is one of New Zealand’s most valuable assets when it comes

to our native forests. Kererū are the only bird left in New Zealand that are able to

swallow and disperse the seeds from our largest native trees such as tawa,

taraire, pūriri and matai. Kererū can live for 21+ years and are essential for

native bush regeneration. Their disappearance would be a disaster for our native

forests. For information check their website https://www.greatkererucount.nz/

BACK TO SCHOOL

Last week the children were back into their learning at school.

The children are enjoying seeing their peers and working together. We are a

few staff members down due to their residence being in the Level 4 zone. The

staff are working as a team so that all the children can be at school.

FUN RUN

We have the Fun Run coming up and this event is one of the school's biggest

fundraisers. It's a great day because everyone is moving - running and walking

and we get money donated to do this. The money this year is going towards

buying new sports gear.

NEW TURF

The new turf on the top playground is open now

and the new basketball hoops are getting plenty

of use.

150 YEAR REUNION CANCELED

Sadly, the 150 year reunion committee decided

to cancel the 150 year reunion due to COVID

and the uncertainty around the lockdown and

levels. We will be sending out the booklet

written by Bill Leslie to the people who

registered and local businesses who sponsored the event. All donations are

going towards a commemoration seat with a plaque. ~ Sharlene, Principal

THE INVASIVE SEAWEED

CAULERPA BRACHYPUS

Caulerpa brachypus, has been found in Blind Bay and Tryphena Harbour –

Great Barrier, is an Unwanted Organism under the Biosecurity Act and can

spread rapidly and create dense mats.

Biosecurity New Zealand’s Director Readiness and Response, John Walsh, says

it can be spread to new locations by small fragments and is easily moved by

people going about water activities like boating, and fishing, including

dredging.

From Monday 20 September, Biosecurity New Zealand will issue legal

controls, known as a Controlled Area Notice (CAN), which will make it illegal

to take seafood from Blind Bay or Tryphena Harbour. Anchoring in the two

areas is also banned without a permit. All equipment used for marine activities

– e.g., footwear, wetsuits, craypots, dredges and boat trailers – cannot be

removed from the controlled zones without first checking for seaweed and

removing it, leaving it in the area it came from. At the same time, a rāhui will

be imposed. The CAN is in place until at least the end of November.

“People can still swim, dive, paddle or use a vessel in the Controlled Areas, so

long as they don’t drop anchor. It’s the movement of equipment along the

seabed which poses the risk of picking up fragments of Caulerpa and moving it

elsewhere,” Mr Walsh explains.

If you are using Aotea coastal waters or planning to visit there, you must check

the rules at: www.biosecurity.govt.nz/caulerpa

If you believe you have seen Caulerpa brachypus somewhere outside of Blind

Bay or Tryphena Harbour, contact Biosecurity New Zealand on 0800 80 99 66.

WE ARE OPEN!

We opened our doors again as soon as Alert Level 2

commenced. Many thanks to the team for the extra efforts

required to operate in these conditions, and to everyone for

their patience as we come to grips with it all.

As I write this report, we're still in Level 2 but hoping to

move to Level 1 just after this paper is published. If it does

come to pass, I expect that we will be able to open our

doors and allow unrestricted access. Time will tell, and any

restrictions or requirements in place when you come to the

library will be clearly indicated in a notice on the door so

you can see it before coming in.

SPRING CATALOGUE OUT NOW

The new catalogue for Spring is now available. Pick up

your copy when you come into the library. It has loads of

great new reads for adults and kids. Most of the items are

only at Dargaville Library but holds can be placed so you

can borrow them too.

One of the items in the catalogue

that is on our shelves is

How to

be an artist by S. Natalie

Abadzis

lovely

book

containing over 30 art-based

activities, as well as teaching

kids a little about artists and

their distinctive styles. There's

such a variety of creative

projects that there's bound to be

something for everyone. You'll

find it under 702 ABA in the

Junior Non-Fiction shelves.

Also, on our shelves and in the

catalogue is

Lit: stories from

home,

a carefully selected collection of short stories from

16 New Zealand writers past and present edited by

Elizabeth Kirkby-McLeod, containing stories from an

incredible line-up of some of Aotearoa's literary masters

(including Katherine Mansfield, Frank Sargeson, Patricia

Grace, Witi Ihimaera) and some up-and-coming names

you're sure to see again in the future (we're already fans of

JP Pomare and Lani Wendt Young!). The stories explore

identity, activism, coming-of-age, society, and family in

Aotearoa New Zealand. You'll find it on the Rental Fiction

shelves for a while, but it's free to borrow. Later, it will

move to the Teen Fiction (YP) shelves.

MAORI LANGUAGE WEEK

13-19 September 2021

We have a number of titles on our shelves to help you learn

to speak Maori, learn about the myths and legends, and

stories to entertain the little ones. You can get started with

this search of our Enterprise* that I've set up for you -

https://bit.ly/KL-TeReo It captures all titles currently on our

shelves that have the subject "Maori language materials" set

in its record. There are some gorgeous kids' picture books

there, some are in both Maori and English, some we have

both versions in separate books, and some have CDs in

them so you can listen as well as read.

If you're after something more for yourself, you need to

look on the Non-Fiction shelves at 499, including several

titles by Scotty Morrison, who

you may know from tv - you

can find his books on our

shelves with this link: https://

bit.ly/ScottyM and there are

others under 499 in the Non-

Fiction section, too.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently, I've read

Not Dark

Yet by Peter Robinson

, the

27th book in the DCI Banks

series. If you've been following

the story of Zelda in the past

couple of books, this brings it to

an apparent conclusion. I say

'apparent', 'cos I don't know

what is coming up in the next

book, if there is to be one. Like

the rest of the series, this was a

good read, and I have no

hesitation in recommending it to fans of police/detective

dramas.

See you in the library! ~Wendy
