KAIWAKA PLAYCENTRE DIGS IN!

In these difficult times, our tamariki who attend Kaiwaka Playcentre and Ngā Tupuranga o ngā Puna Reo ki Kaiwaka

were all given a big hug by our local community in the second stage of the playground upgrade.

For this we are very grateful, and we are reminded of how much we can achieve when we work together.

First, a huge thanks to Ashwood Construction for the

immense efforts to build the replacement retaining wall and

remove excess soil in such a short time.

Second, recognition needs to go to the crews from Kaiwaka

Tulip Hire and Barlow Contractors for going way beyond the

call of duty to assist with the removal of excess old mulch

and putting the new Cushionfall mulch in place - brought in

by Parker Lime from the suppliers on short notice!

Thank you also to the financial contributors who helped

make this happen – Kaipara District Council, Playcentre

Aotearoa, and our local Ngā Tupuranga o ngā Puna Reo ki

Kaiwaka.

And finally, thanks to the mums and dads who rolled up their

sleeves to dig out mulch and clean things up at the end.

We look forward to sharing the next stage of our upgrade

journey with you, and to welcoming any newbies wanting to

join our centre through the door!

We are still in the progress of

finishing the upgrades. Once done,

we are going to do a public

opening/blessing in the New Year.

Kaiwaka Playcentre session times:

8.45-12.45 on Monday, Wednesday

and Friday - according to the

school terms.

Kaiwaka Physio- a regular

column on all thing’s physio and

fitness:

Last time I wrote about how much

exercise is recommended for adults and

what that looks like in terms of

intensity and hours per week. This

week I am going to give you some

ideas on how to increase your activity

levels.

For many of us nothing beats having

to be at a certain time and place with

someone telling us what to do!

There’s quite a bit going on in Kaiwaka

in terms of organised exercise although

some of this has been curtailed due to

covid restrictions:



The Kaiwaka Sports Association has

several clubs including badminton,

squash, tennis, fitness centre and

Kempo. Contact numbers are in the

Bugle.



There’s also Pilates at Hakaru and

Kaiwaka.



If you fancy something a bit higher

intensity, come along to Kaiwaka

Community Fitness Sessions on

Wednesday

evenings.

They

are

sponsored by Kaiwaka 4 square and are

free! There are also fitness sessions on

Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the

Kaiwaka sports fields.

A bit further afield, Maungaturoto

offers bowls and yoga and Mangawhai

also has yoga, Pilates and various

fitness classes.

If you aren’t one for joining, there are

plenty of other ideas. Simply walking

is a great way to start. We are

surrounded by countryside but often

can’t access it and walking on rural

roads is dangerous and dusty. That’s

where the Fitness Trail at the KSA

comes in! It’s a simple concrete track

about 440m round one of

the rugby pitches. It’s

well used by walkers, runners and kids

on wheels.

Set yourself a target of how many

circuits you can complete. Gradually

build up the reps. When it’s getting

easy, it’s important to change the

routine.

Simply

changing

from

clockwise to anti-clockwise will subtly

work different muscles. Try doing

intervals of fast and slow i.e., 50m fast,

50m slow. Carry a backpack with some

weights in it. Make use of some of the

fitness machines round the track.

Recruit a friend to meet you for a bit of

motivation.

Stuck at home with young kids?

Put some music on and dance, play tag,

soccer or touch. There are, of course, a

huge variety of YouTube fitness

channels you can follow in the comfort

of your own home.

Working in a sedentary job?

Try walking and

talking while you

are on the phone,

have a lunchtime

walk or get up

early to have a

morning walk.

One

patients has got

into

hula

hooping! Its great

fun and something

the whole family

can

try

and

quickly gets the

heart

rate

up.

Entertain the neighbours by trying it

out on the deck!

Gardening also keeps us fit with time

spent on your feet and also resistance

work i.e., lifting, pulling and pushing. I

will talk more about gardening next

time. ~ Amy

School Swimming Pool

Good News! The pool is now open to the public outside of school hours.

If you would like a key come up to the Kaiwaka School office and see Heather.

The keys are $60 for the season which usually goes up to Easter but is

dependent on temperatures.

The pool contract form can be downloaded from the school Facebook page or

you can fill it in at the office. Happy swimming!

School Sports

There has been lots happening with regards to sports. We have athletics training,

cricket and tennis happening at the moment. As well as the swimming pool

opening this week for swimming during school time.

Dress Up Day

This week would have been our annual Scholastic Book Fair, culminating in the

'Dress Up as Your Favourite Book Character Day.' Sadly, with Covid

restrictions, we have had to postpone the Book Fair part, but will proceed with

the Dress Up Day pn Thursday 2nd December ... what book characters will we

see this year?

KAIPARA

LIBRARIES

An invitation to

help them

reimagine the local libraries.

Kaipara District Libraries are planning for the future and

have offered an invitation to help them reimagine the local

libraries. If you don't already use Kaipara Libraries, they

want to hear from you. If you are already one of the

Kaipara District library users, they want to hear from you

too!

Libraries have changed

Libraries are still focused on reading, literacy, and

information. But in the last 20 - 30 years they have

developed their roles around learning and community-

making, particularly through activities and programmes,

and have built a new emphasis on the digital world and

helping people

to work within

it.

The

Library

Facebook pages

have a survey

regarding this

information

gathering.

Hullo everyone we are back!!

After missing two months

meetings it was good to catch up

with most of our members again

even though we had to observe the

rules of covid 2.

We hope Shirley is improving in health

each day and any other members who

are not well.

We were sad to farewell Bev Ogilvy on

her death recently and dear Ron Paiggi

aged 101 a member of the RSA. There

is to a memorial service for Ron

shortly at the Senior Citizens Hall.

We are looking forward to joining

Waipu

Women’s

Section

with

Christmas dinner on Monday 6th

December at 11.30am. We will be

carpooling and there is no cost for the

meal. Any member not on the list and

you wish to attend please phone Ann

4315913 or tell us at our next meeting.

ANZAC BADGES

Many thanks to Pita Botica ex

Bombardier Vietnam soldier who

obtained Anzac badges and gave them

to our members who were thrilled to

receive them.

The raffle was won by Trish Black

with Margaret Haverfield 2nd.

We are still planning to go to Franklin

Women’s RSA Section in the New

Year once Auckland is back to normal.

NEXT MEETING

Our next meeting will be on Thursday

November 25th at 11.30 am.

We will have a shared lunch followed

by a guest speaker Jon Drucker

President of the Mangawhai Surf Club.

Please bring something Christmassy

for Lunch and remember to be there at

11.30am.

Keep well happy and safe, Ann

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Hello fellow Kaiwaka

residents,

October has been a wet but mostly

warm month. I have got a bit of a tan

going on, on my arms. It is time to

start slip, slap and slopping with the

sunscreen.

On the 8th of October we got 52ml of

rain then on the 14th we got 22ml then

it settled down for a few days but still

getting occasional showers. Between

the 22nd and the 29th we got 152ml. I

tell you folks I have had quite enough

of the wet stuff.

Our total rainfall for October

this year was a massive 215.5ml

compared to 49ml last year.

Needless to say, the Brynderwyn

waterfall is flowing beautifully.

The least rainfall I have recorded at

our place for October was in 2010 and

2013 when we got a mere 12ml in both

years.

I read the other day where we are to

expect a La Nina weather pattern this

summer, which means moist, rainy

conditions to North-eastern areas

(that’s us) of the North Island and

reduced rainfall to the Western South

Island.

Warmer

than

average

temperatures can also occur. Beauty,

just what I didn’t want to hear. I don’t

mind the heat but not so keen on the

mugginess.

I hope this finds you all well. Cheers,

you will hear from me again next

month, Karen

NIWA Highlights of October 2021:



5th warmest October on record



Weather

was

changeable

but

consistent with a developing La Niña

in the tropical Pacific



Rainfall was well above normal for

Auckland and Northland, with some

areas experiencing record high levels.

DOWN AT THE BORDERLINE ~

from HP

For the record

, my foray this month into the “super city” to visit the dentist

expressed the immense effort we make socially to contain the covid-19 infection

and protect the vulnerable.

Going south double-vaxed with a covid test paper from Three Furlongs, I was

waved quickly through.

Things were pretty normal on The

Shore. There was little parking

available. People were mostly

masked. The dentist was switching

career because of the risks. Retail

folk, he said, were up in arms.

Coming back that day there was a

camera team from some channel

near the Tomarata turnoff, a lot

more action by the 30 or so at the

checkpoint

and

northbound cars pulled

over. I was asked to

park so they could

check my Furs paper,

licence and number

plate. While I was

waved on after a few

minutes, others were

getting grumpy.

SODDEN PHONE MESSAGES

& THE BUGS BEHIND THEM

Every now and then surprise messages show up. They were coming by email {or

whatever} - and now they’re on my mobile number.

1: “"Greetings, your order was delivered on 2021/11/08 to our drop-off address.

Confirm your pick-up here: http://iguzim.com/n17ZEga "

2: the day after: “Customs duty is still pending. Please solve the problem or we

will sent your order back to the sender address: http://ecikiy.com/mT7wbqr "

Nice little ‘one-two’.

Thing is I didn’t order. Or involve Customs. And the source changed mood

and its Australia-based number - {look the area code up yourself-https://

www.answers.com › Q ›

Telephone country code +61 is Australia, and numbers beginning with +61 4 are

mobiles. However, it is incorrect to refer to "country code +614"; the correct

country code is just +61}—plus slipped in other ways.

So, in short: "Click link to download a rort."

And some rank money-making above rorting

others, so automate it for a kid to do in a few

minutes, teaching laziness instead of value of

effort. And no doubt relishing the division

they generate. Poor, eh?

My take: ‘don’t respond, just speak kindly

with whom you have to, and ignore

shysters’. ~ HP

ONERIRI GARDENER

SWEET PEAS:

Heavy with scent. We've had them in our home

gardens for centuries. Even our grandmothers thought them a

nostalgic flower. Really easy to grow, but don't get ahead of yourself.

They need at least 12 hours of light a day to flower. Before that all

you will get is lots of leaves. Caution, even though they look good enough to

eat, unlike all other peas they are toxic. Beauty

comes with a price.

SALSIFY: This was a good save. I bought the

seeds from kings as a root vegetable. Always eager

for new veg. I'm glad to know salsify is edible if

I'm ever that hungry. I abandoned the plants and

then on tall stems these flowers up to 4cm across.

The seed heads are lovely too. Like giant

dandelions. That was 3 years ago. They have self

sown and are an annual. I haven't been reduced to

ripping them out and cursing. In fact I'm still

collecting seed and scattering it in the odd corner.

RED

SOLDIER

POPPIES: A WWI

remembrance.

They've been self

sowing with a little

help from my seed

collecting. I hope I

still have some on

GATHERING OF STORIES

This year as part of the White Ribbon Campaign we want to collect

stories of change to help shine a light on what works in violence

prevention in our communities. We know there are many people

who have really inspiring stories of change and redemption that

could help people who are currently trapped in abusive, violent and

unhealthy relationships. We want to know how you coped, where you got the

support, and the tools that helped to change your situation. We want to hear

from both former perpetrators and survivors.

We want to make it as easy as possible to take part, so there are a range of ways

you can get involved and share your story. You can use Messenger on Facebook

to share your story with us privately, either in text or by video. You can post to

your own Facebook page and use the hashtag #WRstoriesofchange or

#ShineALight. You can always send us your story by email to

contact@whiteribbon.org.nz

We want to share your stories

with the wider community so,

however you get in touch,

please tell us whether you give

permission for your story to be

shared, and if so, whether you

are happy for your name to be

used, or whether you would

prefer to be anonymous. Either

is absolutely fine and we

realise it is sometimes not safe

or appropriate to provide your

details. Please share this

invitation with people you

know who might want to take part. As always, we are so grateful to the White

Ribbon community for standing up, speaking out and acting to prevent violence.

It really does make a difference.

Last Thursday, 11 November, the Roadley family held their third Beltex ram

sale. These are 3/4 bred Beltex rams to be used as terminal sires for mating with

ewes to produce lambs for meat.

The Beltex is a double-muscled Texel sheep which arrived in the United

Kingdom from Belgium in 1989. They first arrived in New Zealand in 2017.

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS

That time is rapidly approaching! The library will be closed

from 2pm Thursday 23 December 2021 until 10am

Wednesday 5 January 2022. Please mark your calendars if

that's going to affect you, so you can plan ahead. Stock up

on your Christmas reading before Christmas Eve, or you

can use the digital library that is open 24 hours a day 7 days

a week - see the eResources section at Enterprise* for

details if you're new to it.

PAINTING

Now that the weather is improving, we will be having the

library building painted. I don't have a start date for it yet

but keep your eyes open for it getting under way. Many

thanks to Kaipara District Council for providing the

funding, and to Coast to Coast Painters who will be doing

the job.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently I've read The Silence of Snow by Eileen

Merriman. It's a "

compelling medical novel about facing one’s

demons,  self-prescribing  and  finding  the  strength  to  carry  on,  even
when  it  seems  that  all  is  lost.  Anaesthetic  Fellow  Rory  McBride  is
adrift.  Since  a  routine  procedure  went  horribly  wrong,  he  has  been
plagued by sleeplessness, flashbacks and escalating panic attacks. Jodi
Waterstone has recently started work as a first-year doctor at the same
hospital, and the night shifts, impossible workload and endless hours
on  duty  are  taking  a  toll.  Both  are  trying  to  stay  in  control  of  their
lives, but Rory starts to self-medicate with sleeping pills and sedatives
to help him get through the nights . . . and the days. Before long, the
sedatives aren’t enough. Can Jodi save him from himself?"

Merriman is better known for her titles aimed at junior

readers - I've reported on her titles before, they are excellent

- and her adult writing is equally as good. This title is on

our Rental Fiction shelves. See you in the library! ~Wendy
