SPARK MOBILE SERVICE ISSUES
THE PROBLEM
On 2 January, Spark and Skinny mobile phone coverage disappeared in several areas
around Kaiwaka. This was due to a Spark cell site having been destroyed by suspected
vandalism. Police are investigating and Spark is working to restore service. Spark has
posted the occasional useful post of Facebook, but so far there has been little
communication to non-Facebook users. Spark has listed the outage as follows:
Kaipara District Outage Outage
(Mobile)
3G/4G mobile customers and WBB customers in the Kaiwaka town may be
experiencing a loss of voice, data and SMS services due to a cell site being
vandalized on the 2 of January 2022. A temporary site was set up on 6th Jan
with more capacity being added in the next few days to fully restore service.
RESOLUTION
Spark has installed a temporary cell site (known as Cellsite on Wheels or COW) on 6
January and some service has been restored; however these temporary sites don’t have
the height/power of the original and hence full coverage hasn’t yet been restored. Spark
are working to install a second COW to improve coverage until a permanent tower can
be re-established. The permanent replacement may take some time but there is no ETA
available as yet. According to Spark though, full service should be available upon
completion on the second COW installation as per the Outage notice. Hopefully that
installation will be complete by the time this goes to print. As I write this, the second
COW is in position near the Kaiwaka library.
SCOPE OF PROBLEM
The current situation is that there are pockets of poor or no coverage in various areas of Kaiwaka. For those of you who
remember, this is pretty much the way it was until around 5 or 6 years ago, when coverage was patchy and there was almost none
in the area around the Four Square and Three Furlongs and the various businesses around that area. Newer technology (4G) has

THE KAIWAKA
SCOTTISH
COUNTRY
DANCING CLUB.
Scottish Country Dancing is a fun way
of getting and staying fit without
knowing it! The dancing is very
sociable, but you don’t need a partner.
We all swap around partners to get to
know each other. If you have ever been
to and enjoyed a Ceilidh, then Scottish
Country Dancing could be for you.
Kaiwaka Scottish Country Dancing
Club was started in May 2018 and
formally opened in July of that year.
We have been in Kaiwaka on
Wednesday mornings ever since.
During lockdown we danced on Zoom
to keep up our fitness and social contact
and when we could we resumed
dancing albeit outside and contactless
for those of us based in Auckland area!!
We are starting this term’s sessions
with a 4-week beginners’ course in
Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall on
Wednesdays from the 9th February,
9.30 – 11.00(includes a coffee break!).
Experienced dancers will be dancing
from 10.30 starting with coffee and
then dancing from 10.45 until 12.30.
All ages are welcome, and it is an ideal
form of exercise for relaxing after
dropping off the children at school,
home school fitness or keeping fit
during retirement. Please come and try
it out. Weekly fee is $5, the cost of a
cup of coffee, which is included. You
will need soft soled flat shoes. If you
decide to join after your course, there
will also be an annual fee of $10. We
will sight vaccination passes on your
first attendance.
Do come and try it out for 4 weeks. We
welcome 2 left feet and have heaps of
patience with beginner dancers!
KAIWAKA
WEATHER
Happy New Year to
you all,
As you will all be very aware, there is
not a lot to report as far as rain goes for
December. We went from the 24th
November to the 5th of December with
no rain at all, then we got – wait for it –
5ml over 3 days. I was quite glad as our
lawn got a chance to dry out a bit. We
then had another dry week. From the
12th December to the 17th we had a
lovely soaking rain, out of which we
got 98ml.
We then had to wait until 29th
December when we got 5.5ml.
•
The total rainfall for the month of
December at our place was 108.5ml.
•
The highest December rainfall I have
recorded at our place was in 2011 with
a whopping big 216ml.
•
Our driest December was in 2015
with only 27ml.
•
The total rainfall for 2021 at our
place was 1508ml.
•
The lowest annual rainfall I have
recorded was in 2015 with only
1008.5ml.
•
The highest annual rainfall I have
recorded was in 2017 with 1728ml
recorded at our place.
Tony and Lindsey tell me, that my rain
records are pretty much the same as
what they record at their Kaira Rd
property. Very interesting, as I often
look towards Oneriri and think they are
getting a lot more rain than us. Maybe
it is all falling further out? I hope you
all have a lovely 2022. ~ Karen
2021 was New Zealand’s warmest year on
record, surpassing the previous record set
in 2016.
Seven of the past nine years have been
among New Zealand’s warmest on record.
The nationwide average temperature for
2021, calculated using stations in NIWA’s
seven-station temperature series which
began in 1909, was 13.56°C (0.95°C above
the 1981–2010 annual average).

THE END OF AN
ERA IS TIP TOEING
NEARER!!
Today Pa and Mā (Rau and
Maria Morgan) have officially
retired
from
the
Kaiwaka
Foodbank.
What originally started as Wahine
Māori Toko i te Ora (Māori Women's
Welfare League) some 15+ years ago,
morphed into what it is today "Te
Pātaka o Kaiwaka". Already full-time
workers, Pa (now a retired School Bus
Driver and Kaumātua for Police) and
Ma (currently HOD Māori at Rodney
College), both worked around the
clock, giving the little time they had, to
serve the wider community, taking food
from their own cupboards to make sure
whānau, especially children were well
taken care of. Stacking and packing
boxes and sometimes delivering
parcels, driving for miles to people who
couldn't come to them, was part of their
daily routine. With the continued
support of Jaques Four Square,
Community and their Whānau, the
Foodbank still thrives today.
They have seen many friendly faces
come and go and wish the very best and
every success for those who will now
take the reins. Mā te Ariki e manaaki, e
tiaki i ngā wā katoa.
The Kaiwaka Foodbank will still be
fully operational and manned as per the
information on their page "Te Pātaka o
Kaiwaka". Rau and Mā however, will
no longer be based there.
We thank you both for your endless
service and unconditional aroha to a
community. May God bless & always
keep you. ~ Waimarie
With that said, the committee members
of Te Pataka o Kaiwaka and Milly
O’Leary would like to invite those that
wish to acknowledge Rau and Ma’s
contribution to a pot luck lunch next
Tuesday 25th January at 11.30am at
the Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall.

CHRISTMAS
OVERSEAS
STAFF SERGEANT ALLEN
Staff Sergeant Allen grew up in
Kaiwaka. We knew her as Claire
Gilligan. Claire attended Kaiwaka
Primary and Otamatea High School,
before joining the NZ Army. She was
part of the Bugle collating team too.
More than 170 New Zealand personnel
across a dozen missions are set to
spend Christmas away from home.
(Source: 1News)
But for those set to spend Christmas
posted in another country thoughts are
turning to friends, family and simple
pleasures they can't have.
"That's probably one of the biggest
things I think most of us is missing, is
the bread, bread from New Zealand...
just amazing," Staff Sergeant Claire
Allen told 1News from South Korea.
"And cheese."
"Everyone will start off the day talking
to their families and then we'll come
together around lunchtime, and have a
New Zealand Christmas lunch," Staff
Sergeant Allen said.

Since being on boards of trustees at
Paparoa Primary and Otamatea High
Schools I have developed an interest in
governance – the part of the
organisation that has oversight of and
determines direction and outcomes for
the organisation to deliver on. It works
in conjunction with the management of
the organisation, and when working
well is a great pleasure to be part of. I
have recently been elected as the
Chair
of Sport Northland
and feel
privileged to be stepping into in this
role. It has great alignment with my role
on the district health board and the
focus there on a creating a Healthier
Northland.
As a district councillor for Kaipara, I
was appointed to the Sport Northland
Board in 2017, which I was delighted
about. I have had a long interest in
health and wellbeing, and physical
activity since being an adult (not so
much as a teenager!) I wasn’t a sporty
kid but was encouraged to participate
and enjoyed the camaraderie and fun of
getting together with my mates.
Sport
Northland’s
vision
is
“Enriching lives through play, active
recreation, and sport”. I see that as
being relevant to everyone from
children to older adults. Movement and
physical activity is essential for every
“body” and the social aspects of
connection and belonging to a group or
a team are also beneficial to our
physical and mental wellbeing. In
saying that I also enjoy a solo walk -
just me and the environment, my
thoughts or maybe my music or a
podcast. Going to the beach, doing a
bush walk, a farm walk,
playing with the kids, yoga,
pig hunting, dancing, tai
chi, gardening are all
examples
of
active
recreation.
Sport Northland
has a
variety of areas where they encourage
and support Northlanders to move
more. Some of these are in schools,
such as the Energiser roles in primary
schools, supporting teachers to run
programmes for students on physical
activity and nutrition; and supporting
secondary schools with competitions
and events across a variety of sports.
They also run events such as the Kai
Iwi Lakes triathlon coming up on 9
April, the Hatea Loop Challenge in
Whangarei on 17 February, Beach to
Basin on 6 March, among others
across
Northland.
Working
in
conjunction with the Councils and other
groups they also own and/or manage a
number of facilities to provide
opportunities for physical activity and
getting together with others. These
include the Kauri Coast (Dargaville)
Pool, the Whangarei Aquatic Centre
and a number of other public swimming
pools across Northland as well as
running the Kensington Fitness gym.
I am excited (and a little nervous) about
taking on the chair role. I hope we can
help and encourage more Northlanders
to Move More to improve their health
and enjoyment, in whatever way they
can. That includes all of us!

SPARK MOBILE SERVICE ISSUES
continued …...
LIBBY JONES
–
Member Northland District Health Board
improved
coverage.
So, once again we have
poor service in the
middle of Kaiwaka as
well as in various other
areas in and around our
town. This has left
some with unreliable
or no phone service,
internet
connection,
medical alarms and
businesses
without
EFTPoS.
There are no outage
reports on Vodafone or
2 Degrees mobile sites.
To make matters worse, the Spark front line support people have been apparently
unaware of the network issues and have therefore been unable to provide reliable
information or useful advice.
WHERE TO FROM HERE?
Spark expects resolution ‘in a few days’ but hasn’t yet committed to a restore date.
Meanwhile they have recommended that Spark Mobile users contact them to discuss
options (yes, I know this might be difficult). Spark’s numbers are 0800 800 123 for
general service; 0800 22 55 98 for mobile faults, lost or stolen mobiles; and 0800
287 463 for businesses. They have a strong online presence too.

KAIWAKA CAN
At last, the bridges are under
construction after the blessing on
Tuesday 11th February!
All going well completion will be mid-March. It is also great that the construction
company, Bridge It NZ, has been able to employ some local content to help.
Kaiwaka Can held the first meeting for the new year and laid out some guidelines
or goals for the 2022 year.
Some of these goals include:
The opening of the bridges - with the hope of some sort of light festival
including the making of lanterns by children. We are open to other ideas to make
this a day the whole community can enjoy.
McClean Park upgrades.
This includes a working bee to clean up some areas on the 20th February before
the bridge opening, sign boards telling the early history of the area and more
planting if needed.
Seeing some movement in planning for planting and walkway around the
peninsula from McClean Park and Eutopia, with the hope we may be able to start
something in 2023.
The resurrection of the ship lights from the southern wall of the building now
used by Small Pukeko's Early Learning Centre. At this stage we hope to place it
on the opposite bank to McClean Park.
We are also going to try to encourage more of the locals to get involved with
lighting up the town so we can regain the name of the little town of lights.
Welcome signs at each end of the town. Objective is to at least get the northern
one in place.
We are also hoping to organise another winter warm up tentative date
Wednesday 22nd June.
We are working on one other major project which we hope to announce soon.
With another year of uncertainty ahead this could prove to be a challenge, so we
welcome new members and people with a vision to moving Kaiwaka forward.
If you are interested in getting involved, you can contact David Wright at
pukepunga@xtra.co.nz or joining us at our monthly meetings held at the Archie
Bull Hall every 3rd Wednesday of the month.
Next Meeting: Wednesday 16 February, 5.30pm.
THE HANDBOOK FOR PLANTING TREES
FOR BEES ON FARMS
The Handbook for Planting Trees for Bees on Farms presents basic principles and
practical advice on how to plant the best pollen and nectar sources for bees. The
booklet show how farmers can include premier bee forage on farms or public
parks, lifestyle blocks, and gardens, covering ten different types of plantations:
riparian protection; land stabilisation; shelterbelts; paddock shade and shelter;
native bush biodiversity; roads, avenues, and laneways; amenity; edible
plantations; apiaries and beekeeper yards; and mānuka plantations. Each
plantation type is described with examples, illustrations, advice, and plant lists.
There is practical guidance on how to prepare a planting plan; balance and target
a bee forage profile; and establish a plantation. The steps for designing a good
bee forage plan include candidate planting lists, flowering calendars, and charts
for flowering diversity and abundance.
The Handbook for Planting Trees for Bees on Farms is available as a free
PDF on the Trees for Bees website at treesforbeesnz.org/handbook.
Limited softcover print copies are also available.

MAUNGATUROTO &DISTRICTS ROTARY
Like most organisations our local group
has been in recess for the past few
weeks but not before we had a fantastic
closing night, a summary of highlights
follows:
The Paul Harris Fellowship
Award
was presented to three
people:
Stella Clyde
for her work in the
community and with young people.
Keith Shadbolt
for his community
work in the environmental area.
Lyn Tetzner
who does an
incredible amount of background work
supporting Alex and is always involved
in our fundraising efforts.
The President’s Scholarship
recipients this year were:
Renee Allen
(she had been head girl
at Otamatea two years ago, and is an
excellent netballer),
Jaden Sheppard
(head boy last
year, who is very involved in the
Performing Arts) and
Bethany Hudson
(who was unable
to be present but has had a number of
articles published). It is great to be able
to provide some support to these young
people and it is always interesting to
hear from them in subsequent years.
Besides the work in the community, we
have also been involved with RYLA,
RYDA, and Duffy books. Duke of
Edinburgh and William Pike has seen
our support of younger people aiming
at building resilience.
Our driver mentoring scheme has
been popular with both younger and
older people. It has been good working
with People Potential and Roadsafe
Northland as they have both been very
supportive. We have also been
fortunate to have someone like
Dean Garnett taking care of the
car, ensuring that it is
roadworthy and warranted.
Speaking of this, we are now accepting
new recruits (and mentors if you feel
able to give of your time). Age is not an
issue, but clients and mentors need to
be double-vaccinated.
Satellite club
Both Grahame Carbery and Dennis
Emsley were congratulated on the work
they have done in setting up the
Satellite club at Mangawhai and an
extremely successful sailing venture.
Because of the large number of
youngsters involved they are going to
be splitting their sessions this year to
cater better for sailing ability. They
have also hit the ground running with a
fantastic
fundraiser
(Sandsational
event) on the 30 January with various
activities throughout the day. (More on
this next month.)
We had a very pleasant President’s
BBQ at Les Kenworthy-Thompson’s.
We appreciated Les and Shirley making
their place available as this is always a
great way to reconnect in the New
Year.
Our first major fundraiser is a Quiz
night at the Maungaturoto Country
Club on Friday 25th February – look
out for details which will be publicised.
Club Meetings
Remember, if you feel you can
contribute in any way to our Club, we
meet on a Tuesday in the Centennial
Hall, Maungaturoto at 6pm. Any
enquiries, please call Eileen – 021 142
0357
PIROA-BRYNDERWYN LANDCARE (PBL)

1,000 in NZ. Mainly found in wetlands of Northland, Waikato, East Coast of the
North Island, and the West Coast of the South Island.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We hope the
festive season was a good one for you.
COVID:
TRAFFIC
LIGHT
ORANGE
We've finally joined the rest of the
country at the orange level of the
current system. Yay! In the library,
nothing has changed from red, we are
operating with the same requirements
as before.
Sadly, we're now waiting to see what
happens when Omicron escapes into the
community, and how that affects
everything. Please know that if the
library needs to close at any stage, we
will do what we can to get books out to
you. Keep an eye on our Facebook page
(link below, you don't need to have a
Facebook account to view it) and get in
touch if you have any questions or need
assistance.
SUMMER
READING
CHALLENGE
There are just a few days left to get
your entry for the Summer Reading
Challenge in to us so you're in the draw
for the fantastic prizes. There are
separate competitions for adults and
children. Have you got your entry in
yet? Entries close Saturday 6 February,
and entry forms are available from the
library counter.
SUMMER CATALOGUE
Have you picked up your copy of the
summer catalogue yet? It's full of
recommendations
for good reads, for
all
the
family.
They're on the
counter
in
the
library waiting for
you.
PHONE
PROBLEMS
Apologies
to
everyone who has
been
inconvenienced by
the lack of phone
service
at
the
library in recent
weeks and thank
you
for
your
patience. First the
local Spark mobile
tower
was
vandalised
and
destroyed
on
January 2nd, and
Spark took a long
time to bring in
adequate
temporary
replacements (as I
type
it's
still
terrible
but
expected to be
improved by this
afternoon when a
second
mobile
tower is connected
to the network).
This
affected the
library's
phone, as it
is diverted
to
my
mobile.
When a call
comes
to
me diverted
from
the
library
phone all I
can see is
that
it's
coming
from
the
library, with
no
information about who is calling so
when I've missed calls, I can't call back
- and I've not been able to check
voicemail messages for a lot of the
time, either (though I can now).
And then our landline developed a fault
last week, and we had no internet for a
few days. Again, this is still waiting to
be fixed as I type, but I live in hope that
it will all be resolved by the time you
read this article. If you need to contact
the library, do still call the library's
number, and leave a message if I don't
answer. Or you can contact me on 027
480 6275 or at home 4312 725.
If you have been affected by the Spark
mobile outage, make sure you report it
to them so you can have a credit applied
to your account for the lack of service.
They have specifically said that mobile
customers need to get in touch, the
credit won't be automatic.
BOOK REVIEW
Did you read a good book from our
library over the holidays? I'd love to
hear about it. Drop me a line or two,
telling me the title and author, and what
you liked about it. Email, text, private
message on Facebook, or write it down
on paper and drop it at the library. It
would be wonderful to have reviews
from someone other than me!
I've read a stack of good books since I
last wrote in mid-December - how to
choose just one to tell you about?! It's
too hard, so I'm going to tell you a little
about the Kiwi authors in that pile... Ian
Austin has a couple of detective-type
books - start with The Agency; Paul
Cleeve's latest title The Quiet People
is an excellent gripping read; Fleur
Beale gives a bit of an insight into late
-19th Century life in NZ, weaving real
people into her fascinating story The
Calling; Eileen Merriman's latest
novel Double Helix is again set around
Kiwi doctors, this time medical
students
who
are
themselves
grappling with a genetic illness
hanging over their heads.
All of these books are on our Rental
Fiction shelves in the library.
See you in the library ~Wendy

‘CORKER, Mary Joice (nee Fraser).
22/09/1922 - 8/01/2022 Much
loved wife of husband Roy (Robert)
Corker
(deceased).
Mother
to
Noeline, Fay, June (deceased), Robert,
Diane, and Donald. A cherished
Grandmother
and
Great
Grandmother. Remembered by
many for her Community Service
duties’.
Mary Joice Corker (nee Fraser),
passed away on January 8th, 2022, a
little short of her 100th birthday.
Mary came to Kaiwaka in 1949 with
her husband Roy and lived in the
Pukekaroro valley for nearly 50 years
before retiring to Saorsa Retirement
Village in Waipu, and then spending
the last 10 years in the Selwyn Park
Village in Whangarei.
Mary raised 6 children, gardened
prodigiously, and was involved in
many
community
organisations
including WDFF, CWI, Girl Guides
and Brownies and many others. She
frequently enjoyed fishing for mullet
and flounder at Point Ernie, with her
'spotted' punt, which is resting beneath
the mud and mangroves still, and was
always willing to pull out her
harmonica or accordion for some
music. She formed the 'Spice Grannies'
trio in Saorsa and was still entertaining
Selwyn Village residents until recently.
Mary would tell the story about how
when she first came to Kaiwaka, and
heard a car coming past, she would
check out the window, to see who it
was - how times have changed.
Mary had an old Gestetner (printing
machine) from which she would do
newsletters for Guides and Brownies,
and this was the forerunner of the
Bugle, which Mary started, with much
smudged ink and the instantly
recognisable clunking and rolling of the
old 'gestetner'. Mary was well known
for helping out with others, and well
into her retirement she still did
voluntary home help and supported the
Kauri Museum in Matakohe. There
will be many people throughout the
Otamatea area (and Northland), who
will have stories to tell, and fond
memories of Mary and her eccentric
ways. She will be greatly missed by her
children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren.
[We had the privilege of meeting with
Mary at in 2018, at the 40th birthday of
the Kaiwaka Bugle. Mary, as ‘Sharp as
a Tack!’ is on the front page of Bugle
No.9, 15 May 2018. Ed.]
