KAIWAKA CENTRAL UPGRADE
And then there were the problems in July with the pedestrian crossing pad …
The work on the upgrade and
additions
of
Kaiwaka’s
footpaths have regularly
appeared in the Bugle -
beginning with the digger at
work forming the footpath to
join the path leading from
the primary school carpark -
pictured left as in Bugle 9
March.
Photos left and below: These
pink and white raised patches
for the pedestrian safety
zone - caused some grief last
Friday. Photo left taken on
11 June, where the islands
show black tyre marks; by
11pm that night a couple of
Kaiwaka’s many cones made
them more obvious.
Come 23rd September these
islands were changed - they
were too high, we now have
the correct islands.

Ray White Mangawhai is moving onwards and upwards to better service its
community with a new office at Mangawhai Central.
Selling principals Kaye and Stewart McElwain said their new office would be
perfectly positioned to service their Mangawhai Village, The Heads, and wider
Kaipara surrounds clientele.
“We are thrilled to announce we’re moving our team to a sleek and stylish new
office at Mangawhai Central,” Ms McElwain said.
“Mangawhai Central will provide a much-needed retail and commercial hub for
Mangawhai and we’re really excited to be one of the successful businesses that
have secured office premises in this new development.”
Ray White Mangawhai will move into its new office in 2022 and, in the interim,
will operate out of a “pop up” office in Wellsford.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us all that it’s possible to work from
anywhere and we plan to continue doing exactly that, while our new premises are
being built,” Mr McElwain said.
“We have the
technology and
procedures
to
work
remotely
but we can also
come directly to
you or if you
wish to come to
us, feel free to
stop into our
temporary office
in Wellsford.
“Our
existing
clients strongly
remain our focus
during
this
transition period,
and we’re also
excited
to
establish
new
clients
and
contacts.
“If you would also like to move onwards and upwards, give us a call!”

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?
SPRING and COLOUR!
DUTCH IRISES.
Superbly easy bouquets of flowers. For the price
of a few bulbs I have lovely long stemmed irises. And more every
year. They come in white, blues and yellows. Irises of all varieties do
so well here (Les loves them too. He says it's pointless buying me
flowers. There's always something beautiful in the garden. Hmm. I've
been given a spade, a greenhouse and a golf cart among other treasures and I'm
very grateful.)
SALVIA AFRICANA AND CISTUS ENTWINED.
I have six of each
growing on the bank behind the house. This colour scheme was inspired by a
dress I loved. Wore it to death in my twenties. I think you have to have young
skin to wear these colours. Or maybe it just wasn't as gorgeous as I thought. Still
enamoured though.

OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL
Acting Principal's Notes
Wednesday 22 September: Jaden Sheppard
put Otamatea High School on the map as he
upstaged John Campbell on TVNZ’s
Breakfast Show. The previous day Jaden had
come to see me and ask if he could use the
meeting room for this event. The SLT
briefing was moved so that Jaden had a room
and peace and quiet so that he could prepare
for his moment in the spotlight. The staff
briefing in the school hall had the Breakfast
Show streamed onto the big screen as we
waited for Jaden to be introduced and be the
‘guest weatherman’. Jaden did not
disappoint us as he performed brilliantly
in front of the entire nation. He was a
great ambassador for our school and
community. You can see the clip on the
school Facebook page, it is certainly
worth a watch.
Next term we welcome back Dirk
Smyth as the new Principal of
Otamatea High School. The staff at
school were delighted with this
appointment and look forward to a new
chapter for the school with Dirk at the
helm. As I hand back control to him, I
would like to thank all the staff for their
support and tremendous effort that they
have put into the school throughout an
extremely busy term. We are very
fortunate to have such a great team
supporting the education of our
students.

This has been a busy term! A big thank you to the staff
who made sure that learning has continued to happen
over Term 3 with the COVID lockdown and the
changes in levels.
We have just been told that a child from our school has
chicken pox. You may want to keep an eye on your
children for symptoms.
Symptoms: Initial symptoms of chickenpox include
fatigue, a mild fever, lack of appetite, and a feeling of
being generally unwell. This is quickly followed
(usually within 24 hours) by the development of a red
rash, which usually appears on the chest and/or back
first, later spreading to the face, scalp, arms, and legs.
Nga mihi, Sharlene Tornquist, Principal
KAIWAKA SCHOOL GIANT
PUMPKIN COMPETITION
Spring is here so it’s time to get your pumpkins going for the Kaiwaka School
Giant Pumpkin Competition!
Last year Evan Britton grew the heaviest pumpkin at 52kg, and the school record
is 93kg – by Lincoln Morgan. The secret, I am told, is plenty of sheep or horse
poo and water, water, water through the dry months.
Seeds have been saved from Evan’s pumpkin and are
available at the school office. Otherwise, you can get
Giant Atlantic Pumpkin seeds from Kings Seeds and
Bunnings.
Weigh in will be March 2022. There will be prizes for
Heaviest, Furthest Roll Down the Hill and Best Dressed

STANDBY POWER ~ HP
How can we reduce use of power?
First up, organise so that use of the machines is at a minimum. Laundry baskets,
shared meals and clotheslines are money savers. The main power gulpers are
washing machines, dishwashers, ovens and dryers. Where gas is an option, it is
recommended as an alternative.
Age and cleanliness are factors, so maintenance
needs to be done.
Some swear by turning off the wall plug. That is
a good idea if you miss getting back to the
machine. Standby functions work well for some
and not for others. Check out the Consumer
Magazine link below and others for comparison.
If you rely on a tank, an isolation switch can stop
that pump buzz that indicates leaks somewhere
on taps or pipes.

LOVE AND FEAR
Love and fear are incompatible; they can't co-exist.
Children have two basic needs: (1) A need to explore. That’s how
they learn, grow and develop. (2) A need to feel safe. If they don’t
feel secure, they won’t explore. Every human being needs a secure
base from which to investigate and grow.
Research confirms that, generally speaking, one parent more than the other will
push a child to take chances, run risks and learn that a little danger is a good
thing, while the other parent tends to be the comforter, the soother, the safety net.
But the truth is any parent can give a child both gifts.
When we’re afraid, our body activates its sympathetic nervous system. Our heart
races, our breathing becomes faster and shallower, and our muscles tense up. So,
we run to our non-anxious presence: our comforter, protector and parent.
And as we are held, reassured and loved, the parasympathetic system takes over.
Our heart rate slows, our breathing becomes deep and even, our muscles relax
and blood flows back to our brain. ln essence, a little voice inside us says, ‘l can
go out and face the world again.’
It’s a fact in the physical realm that ‘perfect love casts out fear’. And it's also true
in the spiritual realm.
