“If you collect 100 black ants and

100 ﬁre ants and put them in a

glass jar, nothing will happen.

But if you take the jar, shake it

violently and leave it on the table,

the ants will

start killing each other

Red believes that black is the

enemy,

while black believes that red is

the enemy, when the real enemy

is the person who shook the jar.

KAIWAKA CAN

As most will be aware the two

walking bridges are due to get

under way and Bridge It NZ has

won the tender for the project.

Bridge It NZ will have a dedicated team

on site for the duration of the works

which is expected to be 7 weeks on site

starting from the 10th January 2022.

To assist with site works, we are

looking to engage with local sub-

contractors

assist

with

the

completion of certain aspects of the

work.

These include:

1.Carpenters

– construct raised

boardwalks with timber handrails at

both the north and south bridges. This

includes 45m at the northern bridge and

20m at the southern bridge location. All

materials have been ordered and will be

supplied for the job.

2.Landscape/civil works

– construct

approximately 100m of 2.5m wide

aggregate track. The track will join at

Gibbons Rd and join with the southern

approach of the northern bridge.

3.Piling

– The northern bridge has

4no. steel driven piles on each abutment

along with 40no. timber SED’s for both

the north and south approaches. We

expect a 15T excavator is required with

a +750kg pile driver.

4.Skilled labour

– we would also be

open to any skilled labour to assist with

construction throughout the site works.

We would prefer carpentry experience

for these roles.

For more information, please contact

Kim Bevins (Project Manager) by

either phone (027 4066 234) or email

(kim.bevins@bridgeitnz.co.nz)

MCCLEAN PARK

Kaiwaka Can is also working on trying

to get another working bee at McClean

Park before Christmas with a tentative

date of Sunday 12th December. Keep

an eye out on Facebook or check out

our new website kaiwakacan.nz for

conformation.

NORTHLAND

RURAL

SUPPORT TRUST BOARD

I have been a member of the Northland

Rural Support Trust Board for the last

seven years, more recently as Deputy

Chair, and am finishing my term at the

end of this year. There are 14 regional

Rural Support Trusts set up across New

Zealand serving the different rural

communities.

When I joined there was a major focus

on adverse events in the rural areas

such as droughts and floods and

Northland has had their fair share of

them in the last seven years. With my

background in health and social

services I was particularly interested in

support for health and wellbeing in

rural communities, which has steadily

increased in priority over this time.

Rural people helping rural people is the

focus and each regional trust has Ag

Facilitators who support individual

farmers and refer on as needed.

Some funding comes from government

(MPI) to support adverse events

responses, short or longer term, and

some to maintain “business as usual”

offering support for financial, animal

welfare and employment challenges. A

national line for contact 0800 787 254

links to each regional trust.

Our area covers parts of Auckland and

Northland, and our Te Tai Tokerau Co-

ordinator is Rebekah Sulman based in

the south of Northland.

NORTHLAND

ADVERSE

EVENTS TEAM

Organisations such as NRST do not

work in isolation to support rural

communities and are part of the

Northland Adverse Events Team which

includes

NDHB,

Civil

Defence,

Councils, and other primary industry

groups and networks. They

all share vital information

and contacts to be able to

respond

quickly

and

appropriately, and can

mobilise people, resources,

animal

feed,

welfare

assistance etc when adverse events

occur.

Check out the website and Facebook

page for great information to support

our rural lifestyles. https://www.rural-

support.org.nz/Regions/North-Island/

Northland

https://

www.facebook.com/NorthlandRST

COVID 19

COVID 19 is a new sort of adverse

event probably not imagined when

RSTs were being set up. However, the

same principles of collaboration,

networks sharing and focusing on the

bigger picture are at play now across

Northland and nationally.

COVID 19 ON FARM

Preparing for COVID 19 on Farm is a

current focus and involvement in the

Northland DHB led COVID in the

Community response. With the change

to Community Self Isolation (C-SIQ)

there are a number of logistical things

that need to occur when a COVID case

is positive in a rural community. There

have been quite a few of these lately

and this is predicted to increase over

January and February as people move

around Northland more over the

summer. Sensitivities such as privacy

of the cases is an important factor too,

as people get supported to safely isolate

and communities know what they need

to do to remain safe – get vaccinated,

get tested and scan in.

Have a great summer Kaipara.

PIROA-BRYNDERWYN LANDCARE (PBL)

Over 7,000ha are being actively

trapped in the Piroa Brynderwyns

area, which is roughly one third of

the PBL high value area.

Listening for Kiwi in PBL - Our

Annual Call Counts

The annual call count programme

managed by the Department of

Conservation helps us know if the

kiwi in our HVA are breeding

successfully. This year we added

four new listening stations to make a

total of eight across the HVA and ran

two training workshops to boost our listener numbers. The DOC Annual Kiwi

Call listening count programme has been running for 20 years and helps to

establish important data to better understand kiwi numbers and distribution on

both a regional and national scale.

Kiwi Listeners 2021 include Tania and Innes Anderson, Baldrock Rd (photo )

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that 2 of the newest stations have heard

kiwi male and female calls, confirming that kiwi in this area are spreading

throughout the hills. A fantastic reward and an even greater reminder of why our

trapping programmes are so important.

Kiwi have continued to explore the full extent of the Brynderwyns. In the West a

kiwi was seen by a trapper in daylight on a bush block near SH1. Over on the

East Coast, a pair of kiwi have recently been heard calling at Bream Tail Farm.

Slowly but surely the hard work of many owners, volunteers and contractors is

proving fruitful with sightings and kiwi calls increasing in the area.

MAUNGATUROTO &DISTRICTS ROTARY

DR DAVE GERARD

Rotary has learnt (as have many other

organisations) that when people are

isolated there are alternative ways of

being involved with each by way of

Zoom and Teams. The former provided

us with an excellent speaker organized

by Takapuna Rotary some weeks ago.

They had Dr Dave Gerard as their

invited guest (he won the 200m

Butterfly at the 1966 Olympics, has

been Chef de Mission for a number of

Olympic games and is now Chairman

anti-doping

international

organisation.) His speech covered a

number of topics, but two points taken

from it were:

Firstly, the importance of children to

aim at being involved in a wide variety

of sports, until they are in their teens

and secondly for all athletes who aim

to aspire in their chosen sport to have a

life outside that arena, in other words,

plan for a life after sport. Something to

be pondered now when so many of our

professional athletes are struggling to

get a balance in their lives.

MAUNGATUROTO

COUNTRY CLUB

Our Club has become

affiliated

the

Maungaturoto

Country

Club. This will allow us

to have more diversity in

our meetings in the

coming year. It will also

give us a chance to look at

areas where we can

support them.

The first project is an

upgrade of the walking

track which needs widening. It is also

hoped to make the track more user

friendly for bikers as well as walkers.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

We have decided to donate $600

towards an Emergency Response kit –

this is a really good Rotary project

which provides equipment in a box in

areas where disasters have occurred.

With the upcoming cyclone season

imminent, we thought it a good time to

help replenish these supplies.

ROTARY YOUTH LEADERSHIP

Also, for the first time in a number of

years we have a Rotary Youth

Leadership candidate. This weeklong

camp for 20- to 28-year-olds

provides an excellent base for

those young people who aspire

to becoming leaders.

DRIVER MENTORS

Our driver mentoring scheme is going

well and we have had several successes

in recent weeks. Obviously being in

anything other than levels 1 or 2, has

limited out driving time and has also

meant that several students have had to

rebook their licence attempts. While

this is winding down now, if you know

of anyone interested, please get them to

complete an application form so we can

continue to support our drivers in

attaining their restricted licence.

FIONA KEMP

We had an excellent talk from Fiona

Kemp (formerly a kaiawhina at

Otamatea High). She is now working in

the environmental arm of Te Uri O

Hau. One of her areas of focus is in

conjunction with Kaipara District

Council and Northland Regional

Council

help

prevent

the

sedimentation

the

Kaipara Harbour through

fencing

and

planting.

There is financial support

available for this provided

the landowner is willing to

contribute as well (usually

in the provision of labour

and time.) She is also

involved in a project to

stop soil erosion on Mt’s

Pukekaroro

and

Pukearenga. They are also

hoping to extend this to

seed

collection

and

propagation.

SENIOR CITIZENS TREAT

On Friday, 19th November, our senior

citizens were treated to a fantastic hour-

long concert by pupils of Maura

Flower. As the competitions were

cancelled this year, the youngsters were

given a chance to perform in front of an

audience. We have many talented

youngsters in our community and all

present

were

uplifted

the

presentation.

We would like to wish you and yours a

very Merry Christmas and a positive

New Year. Stay safe and enjoy your

time with friends and family. ~ Eileen

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

LIBRARY SURVEY

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey from

Kaipara District Council about libraries recently. Your input

is appreciated.

NEW COVID TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM

As I write this article, the legislation for the new traffic light

framework has just been passed in Parliament. We don't

know yet exactly what it will mean for the district's libraries,

but I expect we will have it worked out before it's

implemented in a few weeks' time.

Please know that if we will be required by law to exclude

anyone from entering the library because of their vaccination

status or inability to wear a mask, we will still be able to get

library items to you. You can place holds on items using

Enterprise* or the library app on your phone, or we can

choose titles for you after talking to you about what you

enjoy reading, and then we'll arrange how we're going to get

it to you. Please contact me if you want to talk about it.

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY BREAK

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.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently I've read The Russian Cage by Charlaine Harris,

book #3 in the Gunny Rose series. "

Picking up right where A

Longer  Fall  left  off,  Lizbeth  Rose  takes  on  one  of  her  most
dangerous  missions  yet:  rescuing  her  estranged  partner,  Prince
Eli, from the Holy Russian Empire. Once in
San  Diego,  Lizbeth  is  going  to  have  to  rely
upon  her  sister  Felicia,  and  her  growing
Grigori powers to navigate her way through
this  strange  new  world  of  royalty  and
deception in order to get Eli freed from jail
where  he's  being  held  for  murder."

with any Charlaine Harris book I've read

(well over 20 of her titles by now), it's a

thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining read.

See you in the library ~Wendy
