KAIWAKA CHEESE

IT’S BEEN JUST OVER THREE MONTHS since we took over the Kaiwaka Cheese Shop from long time owners

Keith and Marita. It’s been great to see the relief on the faces of our regular customers when they learnt that despite new

ownership, the shop with its great selection of cheeses and specialty products will essentially remain the same.

Over our first three months we have learnt a lot about

the cheese business and have certainly questioned the

sanity of purchasing a retail shop during a global

pandemic. It’s been a bit a trial by fire for us. Luckily,

we have a great supportive team of staff to help and

guide us and we managed to get one good month in to

find our feet before COVID19 returned. Like many

local businesses we are finding it a bit of a struggle to

operate in this environment of lock downs and

uncertainty and we would like to thank all our staff

and customers for their continued support. We are

currently investing in a new and improved website and

online shop to boost our online presence and sales, so

watch this space. We have plans for some upgrades to

the physical shop, but that is all on hold until things

come back to normal.

NEW ZEALAND CHEESE MONTH

This month is New Zealand cheese month! Some

people may not realise, but New Zealand has some of

the world’s best dairy and produces some world class

cheeses. Which is great news, because with current

global freight issues, European cheese stock is not

always easy to get right now. Despite

being a “Dutch” cheese shop, we carry a

wide selection of delicious locally

produced cheese. To celebrate New

Zealand Cheese month each week for

October we will choose a different New

Zealand cheese of the week with a 10%

discount. Unfortunately, we can’t do

cheese tasting while COVID is lurking

around.

ORGANIC GLASS BOTTLE MILK

It’s not all cheese though, we have

recently started supplying organic glass

bottle milk and high-quality meat from

Durham Farms over in Waipu which we

are quite excited about. We also have a

wide range of foreign and local specialty

food products.

KNIT AND KNATTER

A few years ago, on ‘Knit in Public

Day’ a few women got together in one

of Kaiwaka’s cafes to do just that. It

was great fun, friendships were made,

techniques were shared, and it was

enjoyed so much they decided to meet

once a month.

A very informal club Knit and Knatter

was born and every month they turn up

or not, bring a visiting friend or two

and spend the morning mostly catching

up and showing what each have been

doing over the last weeks.

As most of the girls have their own

charities they knit for, the club doesn’t

have a specific charity but everyone

helps each other when needed and a lot

of garments go to hospitals, rest homes

etc.

When approached this year to do a

Covid art piece it was taken up as a

challenge to do something different.

“We tried to convey feelings we had

about

Covid

itself,

lockdowns,

shortages and some squares just show

what we were actually making during

the times we were confined mostly to

home. Look for the rocky road, the sign

-in bar code, the teddy getting

immunised, the quotes we got used to

hearing, and of course the toilet roll”

says Carolyn Dymock one of the

knitters.

The exhibition titled A Pandemic

Moment In Time is showing at the

Quest Foyer 58 Bank Street in

Whangarei until 19 th November.

Organized and curated by Filani

Macassey a local Kaiwaka artist, she

says during the current level three

lockdown the Quest Foyer is still

accessible for the public as a

thoroughfare

the

Farmers

department store.

Included in this exhibition is digital art,

painting, drawing, poetry, printing and

embroidery. The Quest Foyer Art

Space is managed by Creative

Northland.

PAINTED RED

A stunning red poppy in a local garden

reminds us of the red poppies at the

corner of SH 1 and Oneriri Rd

flowering exactly 10 years ago in time

for the 2011 Rugby World Cup!

This was the time when we ‘painted the

town red’ as hosts for Canada, Tonga

and Japan - the most obvious being the

Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall. The Hall

became an amazing information centre

for tourists and locals.

the weirdest dinosaur shapes you can imagine. Grow a bunch of them and let

the dinosaur battles begin.

Magical Creatures – Fairy Flower Mix will help attract fairies to your garden

and may become the home for fascinating creatures to live in. The honeybees

and butterflies will love them too.

Little Ted Fluffy Sunflowers will put a sunshine smile on your face. The

bushy, short-growing sunflower has super fluffy pompom flowers that are

perfect for pots.

And, if you’re keen on growing a pumpkin fit to be a carriage, then Behemoth

THURSDAY 14 OCTOBER:

The top photo shows the steady line of traffic at the Kaiwaka Sports Assn car park. Over three hundred vaccinations

were completed beginning at 8.30am - many arriving well ahead of that time. A big thank you to Te Ha Oranga and their

very efficient team.

Lower photo - meanwhile at the Three Furlongs Bar & Grill car park had a steady flow of folk arriving for a Covid test.

The station has been available from Wednesday through to Saturday, and will be there again on Monday.

September is keeping true to form, with

cool to cold winds and showers.

We recorded rain or showers over 19 of

the 30 days in September. 3 of those

days accumulated over 100ml, it’s no

wonder our lawn is very soggy in parts

it’s never been before.

Our total for the month of September

2021 was 178ml.

The total this year to date is 1101.5ml.

Last year’s total to the same date was

1239.5ml. I don’t know why but

somehow it seems wetter this year than

last, but figures tell me not. The rain

must have been spread out over more

days in other years.

The Brynderwyn waterfall has been

amazing this month, especially after the

50ml a couple of weeks ago. The

Clematis is hanging in there with some

amazing bunches still to be seen,

(especially above the Brynderwyn

waterfall). Our Spring bulbs have

mostly finished flowering now and

what a show they put on this year. A lot

of other flowers are

now showing off their

beautiful

colours,

since the weather

warmed up a bit.

The lowest September rainfall I

recorded at our place was in 2008 when

we only got 43.5ml.

The highest September rainfall was in

2015 when I recorded 207ml.

Be careful of the sun’s rays, people. At

this time of the year, we get lured into a

false sense of “gosh the sun is lovely

and warm” but it can have a nasty bite

if we are not prepared for it, so start the

“Slip, Slop and Slap” routine.

Take care and follow the Covid rules

out there everyone and hopefully we

will get rid of this Lockdown routine

quicker. ~ Cheers, Karen

COUNCILLOR’S

COMMENT

with Kaiwaka-Mangawhai

Ward Councillor Jonathan

Larsen.

Better representation

for

Kaiwaka-

Mangawhai

Ward

getting closer

Council has recently been through a

review of how the district is

represented. Legislation requires that

the number of residents per Councillor

need to be reasonably balanced. With

the increasing population in the East of

the district this meant that some

changes needed to be made.

The current arrangement is four

wards with two Councillors in each

ward. Council has now been through a

process of submissions, hearings and

deliberations and resolved to proceed

with a new ward arrangement as

follows -

The current Dargaville and West Coast

-Central wards will be combined into

one new ward (called the Wairoa

Ward) and have three Councillors.

The Otamatea Ward will remain

unchanged with two Councillors.

The Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Ward will

increase from two to three Councillors

There will also now be a Maori Ward

(called Te Moananui o Kaipara) with

one Councillor elected at large.

The changes will be incorporated into

the final proposal and presented to the

October Council meeting for approval.

This is great news for the Kaiwaka-

Mangawhai area which has been under

-represented on a per capita basis for a

number of years.

KAIWAKA FOOTPATHS AND

FOOTBRIDGES

It is good to see the Kaiwaka Footpath

project

almost

completed.

The

finishing touches should be finalised in

the next few weeks and include minor

berm reinstatement, changing signs,

and road marking touch-ups. The

project has been implemented by

Council’s road maintenance contractor

Ventia.

The total cost of the project is $335k

with a 62% subsidy from NZTA

equating to $207k of the cost.

The Kaiwaka Footbridge project is in

the detailed design phase and is still on

track to be completed by February

2022. These two projects combined

will

greatly

improve

pedestrian

connectivity in and around Kaiwaka.

If you have any Council related issues

you can call Council on 0800 727 059

24 hours 7 days a week or email

council@kaipara.govt.nz. I

f you have any community projects or

issues that you would like assistance

with, I can be contacted on Ph. 021 185

MCCLEAN PARK

Work on transforming McClean Park

will recommence as soon as weather

and restrictions permit. A couple of

working bees planned for the first half

of October to concentrate on tree

removal/trimming unfortunately had to

be cancelled due to the changing

Northland restrictions.

However, we shall stay positive,

persevere, and we now look forward to

the general

working bee which has

been set for 10.00am Sunday 31st

October

. All welcome.

PICNIC IN THE PARK

To make the most of the ongoing

transformation of McClean Park, we

are hoping to kick off an annual 'Picnic

in the Park' event and welcome any and

all community ideas to get this vision

up and running. We're unsure whether

it will be able to take place in 2021, but

let's get the ball rolling regardless!

At this stage we're thinking it would

take place in early December, family

and friends can gather at the Park,

picnic, take in some live local musical

talent and meet new people. Our little

town is growing and changing, so

making the very most of our ever-

improving shared community spaces is

key to staying connected.

We're on the hunt for local talent who

might like to perform on the day, so if

you know someone with a great set of

pipes or mean-as Michael Jackson

dance moves, please get in touch!

Next meeting:

Wednesday, 20th October, all

welcome. Meeting will go ahead if

we're at Level Two and will follow

required protocols. Please join us to

touch base, share how you've been

getting on, and update us on what

you've been getting up to over these

last few months.

THANKSGIVING (with Canada’s

holiday in mind!):

Q: Why did the police arrest the

turkey?

A: They suspected fowl play.

Q: Why did the turkey cross the road

twice?

A: To prove he wasn't a chicken!

Q: If you call a large turkey a gobbler

what do you call a small one?

A: Goblet.

Q: What happened when the

turkey got into a fight?

A: He got the stuffing

knocked out of him!

The past month has no doubt challenged many people in our

community with avenues of person-to-person communication mostly

limited to emails and phone conversations.

Hopefully, by the time this goes to print we will be able to get together

much more easily. We are fortunate to live in such a pleasant part of the country

where we can appreciate all the flora and fauna around us.

SAILING

The sailing part of the Mangawhai club have only been able to have one sailing

evening at this stage. However, 25 youngsters turned up as well as four sailing

coaches (and some very supportive parents.), photos below. The classes will run

on a Wednesday night, in two groups, the first commencing at 4pm. They have

been very fortunate with the funding they have received, and the Rotary network

has proved invaluable. Peter Johns, who is a past Assistant Governor, has

offered to construct a trailer that will transport 9 optimists at one time.

BOWEL SCREENING PROGRAMME

We have had two speakers of note. The first one was Stuart Selkirk, from the

Northland DHB, who was informing us about the Bowel screening programme

that is rolling out from the start of November for 60-74 year olds. The aim of

this programme is to diagnose health issues early on so that treatment will be

less intrusive and recovery time will be much shorter.

So, if you are in that age bracket, your birthday is on an even day, expect an

envelope in the post during the next year. The process will take two years to

complete as there are deemed to be 36,000 in that age group.

FROM RUSSIA

On another night, we had one of our number, Dennis, talk about the process

involved in adopting a young girl

from Russia, 35years ago. The first

trip to Russia saw the couple come

home empty-handed, even though all

the paperwork had been completed,

as Russia had shut the door on

international adoptions. However, a

year later, with very short notice, they

were advised to return to Russia to

collect the chosen child. The

orphanage they visited in St

Petersburg had more than 2,000

children up for adoption. A

tremendous amount of perseverance

was obviously required to complete

the process but there was a really

positive outcome at the end. The

youngster came to NZ as a

five-year-old, unable to speak

English, but the school she

went to had a Russian

speaking teacher on the staff

so that within 6 months her

English was quite fluent.

PROJECTS

We have some projects in the

pipeline, so we are looking

forward to a drop to Level 2 so

we can get on with them.

Remember, if you want to

know more about our club,

please call me (Eileen) on 021

https://nzhistory.govt.nz/new-zealands-blackest-day-at-passchendaele

“Ever since 1917, Passchendaele has been a byword for the horror of the Great

War. In terms of lives lost in a single day, the failed

attack on Bellevue Spur on 12 October was probably the

greatest disaster in New Zealand’s history.

Eight days earlier, around 500 New Zealanders died

during the capture of Gravenstafel Spur, one of two

spurs on the ridge above the village of Passchendaele in

Flanders, Belgium.

Although this attack was successful, it had a tragic

aftermath....On 18 October, Canadian troops relieved II

ANZAC Corps. In a series of well-prepared but costly

attacks in atrocious conditions, they finally occupied the ruins of Passchendaele

village on 6 November. ”

Kaiwaka families remember ‘eight days earlier’ on 4

October 1917:

Private Andrew ERCEG, 23993, was born 28

December 1886; Kaiwaka resident; Andrew was killed in

action, in the field at Ypres, Belgium on 4th October

1917 - pictured top right

Private George Alfred LEATHER, 30822; also

Kaiwaka resident; Killed in Action 4th October, aged 23

Private James Quinlan LESLIE 1059; born in Hakaru;

died of wounds received France 4 October 1917; at an

Australasian Casualty Clearing Station, aged 23 -

pictured right

My Grandfather, Sgt. William Alfred Peter Peterson 20935, at 36 years old,

was right there at Ypres in the thick of things at this stage as part of the Canteen

Staff. From his diary pictured below … 1917 OCTOBER …
