KAIWAKA ~ NEW SIGNS, NEW BRIDGES

What a difference a few days make! These photos were taken on Monday21 March prior to the sign unveilings and

bridge openings - left is below the southern footbridge and right, at McClean Park. Saturday 26 March was a beautiful day.

Saturday 26 March was the official opening

and blessing of the Kaiwaka footbridges and

the two new McClean Park signs.

The blessings of the beautiful signs, made

from local macrocarpa, were given by Matua

Ben and Derek Christensen along with the

unveiling of the park signs. The first sign,

pictured left with Mayor Jason Smith, John

McClean and Ben Hita) show ‘McClean Park

(1947) - Land donated by Archie and Bessie

McClean’ (featured in the last Bugle). The

second sign, pictured below, with left to right

- Derek Christensen, Ben Hita, Jason Smith,

Willow-Jean Prime MP, Tim Manning

KDC, ?KDC, ? Bridge IT NZ, Peter Wethey,

John McClean. This sign is on Gibbons Road

next to the St. John Hall - McClean Park

(2022) - Land donated by John and

Enid McClean. The paths on this park

link under SH1 to the new northern

footbridge.

The ribbon cutting for the bridges was

done by John McClean - as guest of

honour.

The two footbridges were funded by a

grant from Central Government to

help provincial communities, and

expertly implemented by Kaipara

District Council and Bridge It NZ.

The attendees walked the paths and

bridges right through to Eutopia Café

ending the morning with further

informative speeches and a lovely

morning tea.

THE LAST WALTZ

Friday 22 April, 7.30pm

‘More than just one of the greatest

concert films ever made, The Last

Waltz is an at once ecstatic and elegiac

summation of a vital era in American

rock music’ -

Criterion Collection.

Features standout performances by

rock legends Bob Dylan, Van

Morrison, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell

and Muddy Waters

Once upon a time, an old man spread rumours that his neighbour was a thief.
As a result, the young man was arrested. Days later he was proven innocent.
After being released, he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.
In court, the old man told the judge, “They were just comments, they didn’t
harm anyone.”
The judges, before passing sentence on the case, told the old man, “write all the things
you said about him on a piece of paper.” “Cut it up into little pieces and on the way
home, throw the pieces of paper out of your car window. Tomorrow, come back to
hear the sentence.”
The next day, the judge told the old man, “Before receiving the sentence, I want you
to go out and gather up all the pieces of paper that you threw out of your car window
yesterday.”
The old man said, “I can’t do that! The wind spread them all over the place and won’t
know where to find them.”
The judge then replied: 'In the same way, simple comments may destroy the honour
of a man to such an extent that a person will not be able to fix it. If you can’t speak
well of someone, don’t say anything at all. Let’s all be masters of our mouths, so that
we won’t be slaves of our words.”
“Gossips are worse than thieves because they steal another person’s dignity, honour,
reputation and credibility which are impossible to restore. So, remember this: when
your feet slip, you can always recover your balance but when your tongue slips, you
can never recover your words!”
“

Those who guard their mouths, and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.”

“Proverbs 21:23

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

Once

again

there

hasn’t been a lot of

rain to report about. I should have been

very careful boasting about no cracks in

our lawn – yes you guessed it – there

are quite large cracks in the lawn now.

The need for a significant rainfall is

quite apparent.

For the month of February this year I

recorded 94ml.

In February 2021 I recorded 98ml.

February 2020 we only had 7.5ml.

The highest February rainfall I

recorded (at our present address) was in

2018 when we got 220.5ml but the

highest February rainfall I recorded

when living at Browns Rd was in 2004

when we got 293ml.

We are still getting a very warm drying

wind. The Brynderwyn waterfall is only

a trickle again. Personally, I’m enjoying

the warmth, but the temperatures are

starting to drop, which is a good thing

for those of us with Kikuyu lawns as

the growth has slowed a little bit – only

mowing every 4th day instead of every

3rd day.

Its nice to hear the cicadas singing and

that is always a sign of autumn

approaching.

Take care everyone and stay safe from

the virus, Karen

Last week’s torrential rains have set a

new national rainfall record.

NIWA meteorologists say the 103 mm

of rain from 4am-5am recorded at

Maungatapere near Whangārei on

Monday 21 March is a new national

hourly rainfall record for a low

elevation station.

NIWA Principal Scientist - Forecasting

Chris Brandolino says hourly rainfall

rankings at NIWA are calculated from

top-of-hour

top-of-hour.

The

maximum

60-minute

total

Maungatapere on Monday morning was

even higher at 123.2 mm from 3.30 am

to 4.30 am.

Mr Brandolino says on Monday when

the record rainfall occurred, a low-

pressure system in the Tasman Sea was

siphoning moisture from the wet and

humid tropics into the northern North

Island.

"Around 3,000 lightning strikes were

observed in Northland and immediate

offshore waters on Monday morning;

this thunderstorm activity increased the

rate of rainfall. Ongoing marine

heatwave conditions around New

Zealand may have also contributed to

the heavy rainfall."

Kaiwaka folk certainly recorded great

downfalls - some folk got 170ml, others

140mls and way out on Oneriri we got

86mls! As a result there was a lot of

road damage, including the new

underpass at SH1.

And on Tuesday 22 March the

Brynderwyn waterfall was in full force

- quite spectacular. Driving was very

slow!

Here we are again after a 3-

month break. It was good to

catch up with each other again

and there were 10 members

present at the meeting on Thursday

24th March.

We are sorry to lose Shirley De Vries

who has resigned for personal reasons,

Shirley has always been a hardworking

and dependent member and we will

miss her.

We have a busy time ahead with Anzac

Day not far away on the 25th of

April.

The crosses for the cemeteries have to

be prepared with poppies and a sprig of

rosemary and put on the Returned

Servicemen’s graves.

Wreaths are being made on Sunday

24th April at 1.30 p.m. Anyone with

spare flowers please get them to the

RSA or Ann Dowson and if any Garden

Club members who would like to help

make the wreaths would be most

welcome as well as our own members.

Poppy Selling Day is Friday 22nd

April, if there is anyone out there who

would be available to go on the roster

and do a 2hr shift please ring 4315913

as we still have a few gaps

The RSA would be grateful for a plate

of food if you are attending the lunch,

especially from RSA members.

Happy Birthday to Beth hope you have

a great day.

Raffle

winners

were

Margaret

Haverfield and June Wilson.

Hostesses for next month’s meeting are

Shelia and Annie.

The next meeting will be on Thursday

28th April at 1.15 p.m. which will also

be the AGM the nomination sheets are

on the RSA notice board.

That is all for now hope you all stay well,

cheers Ann.

STROKES

People are affected by many different

health conditions that bring them into

hospitals or in contact with health

services. Strokes affect thousands of

New Zealanders each year.

A stroke occurs when the blood

supply to an area of the brain is

interrupted causing damage to brain

cells. This happens either with a clot in

the blood vessel or the blood vessel

bursting. The effects of a stroke depend

on where in the brain, and how big, the

interruption to blood flow is.

Most people who have had a stroke in

our area are admitted to Whangarei

Hospital Acute Stroke Unit. If the

stroke has had significant physical or

cognitive effects, they may be then

transferred to the rehabilitation ward

which aims at increasing the person’s

independence, preventing complications

from stroke and preventing further

strokes.

Every stoke affects a person

differently,

there is often a reduction

in the way a person can complete tasks.

On the Acute Stroke Unit there are

experienced

Physiotherapists

(PT),

Occupational Therapists (OT), Speech

Language Therapists (SLT), Social

Workers and Dietitians. These different

health professionals assess and provide

interventions for patients that have had

a stroke and support their family.

STROKE UNIT UPDATES

Recently, work has been undertaken to

update the stroke unit in different

phases. There is now a new kitchen on

the ward for the Occupational

Therapists to assess a patient and

provide interventions to ensure that they

will manage kitchen tasks at home

safely. There is ongoing work currently

taking place updating the physio gym

to provide more space for the

Physiotherapists to assess mobility and

assist

with

improving

patients

functioning. The acute stroke unit will

also be eventually gaining

a few more beds to help

keep up with the increasing

number of strokes that are

affecting

people

Northland.

REHABILITATION

While a lot of the rehabilitation of

patient’s often take place at Whangarei

Hospital, it also occurs in regional

hospitals throughout Northland. The

rehabilitation does not end when a

patient leaves hospital, there are teams

of allied health workers including

OTs, PTs, SLTs and Social Workers

who all help a patient manage in their

own home environment.

Being in hospital can have impacts on

people’s abilities to do daily activities

in their life, their overall wellbeing,

their family and their social situation.

We have great teams of health

professionals both in hospital and the

community who are working to provide

consistent and quality health care for all

patients across Northland.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES

To be seen in colour - beautiful yellow flowers with

It's autumn and the Jerusalem artichokes

are in bloom. I have them in several places through

the garden. This year they

are a reminder of Ukraine's

David and Goliath battle.

The Jerusalem artichoke is a

member of the sunflower

family. Ukraine's national

flower. So their beauty is

bitter sweet. I remind

HOW OUR SPORTS COMPLEX WAS BUILT

We will give some background to our complex … who remembers the Sweetwaters

Festivals? Many locals who ‘worked’ there do! It was an amazing time when we were

able to raise a large amount of money outside our small community 40 years ago.

Pictures left: A 1983 Sweetwaters t-shirt - all the bands on the back

‘The biggest money-spinner ‘was the Sweetwaters Festivals: Keighley persuaded

his brother, Daniel, who organised the festival, to hire the Eastern United rugby

club to provide security for the event. Along with the security came the right to

run a food stall. Mark Ottaway remembers the food stall was open 24 hours a day

for the duration of the festivals. “It was pretty hard work,” he says. “You just

slept when you could, and we were always busy. We always got the prime spot

next to the stage. John Keighley made sure of that.” In the busiest times the

people taking the money had no time to jam it in the till and just threw notes and

coins into the space beneath the counter, to be picked up later. Mark swears after

the ﬁrst festival the back of his Austin 1800 was sagging on the ground from

the weight of coins that was going back to Kaiwaka. In all, Kaiwaka’s rugby

players and takeaway cooks worked Sweetwaters for three years and raised

$80,000.’

ON GRAVEL WE NEED GRADERS

Once upon a time there were three key positions in the county.

The town clerk did

correspondence,

the

county

engineer the plans

and then there was

the grader driver.

What

did

the

driver do?

He, always a 'he'

to my mind, made

things work. And,

suspect,

the

machines were made here.

The roads stayed open. Folk could reach 'town'.

What worked continued to be improved. Everyone along the road had an interest

in getting the job done well. It was a 50s thing.

The driver knew the cambers, the pooling points, the sludge, the compressed

corrugates: the roads themselves - and how they were used by lorries, carts and

drays.

Kids would come to watch graders work. Sometimes and often, they'd remake a

family's entrance or even their whole drive over scones and a story.

There was no one to decide but the driver. And that driver took care of his

grader, adjusted the blade, greased the bearings, changed the oil.

Authority.

His mana rested with families on his continual route, nowhere distant, nowhere

particular, responsive to be fair to the small farmer volunteers. They served on

the council or school committee for a term, or more if they were suited. It was an

older country, respectful of work done and in train, and respectful of talent.

Perhaps we should bring back the grader driver.

HONEYBEES

Mary Bumby was probably the

person who introduced honey bees to

New Zealand. She brought two hives

ashore when she landed at the

Mangungu Mission Station in the

Hokianga in March 1839.

While New Zealand had two native

species of bees, neither was suitable for

producing honey. The Reverend

Richard Taylor, Eliza Hobson, James

Busby and William Cotton were all

early hive owners. In 1848 Cotton

wrote a manual for New Zealand

beekeepers, describing the basics of bee

husbandry and honey production.

The New Zealand bush proved to be an

hospitable environment for bees, and

the number of wild colonies multiplied

rapidly, especially in the Bay of

Islands. Isaac Hopkins, regarded as the

father of beekeeping in New Zealand,

observed that by the 1860s bee nests in

the

bush

were

plentiful,

and

considerable quantities of honey were

being sold by Māori – the country’s

first commercial beekeepers.

The commercial production of honey in

New Zealand began in the late 1870s

following the introduction of the

Langstroth hive, the moveable-frame

beehive model still used today.

From 2014 to 2016 North Island Brown

Kiwi were translocated to Marunui

Conservation just to the north of

Mangawhai in the Piroa-Brynderwyn

ranges. Since that time the team at

Marunui and other local volunteers

have been working hard to ensure the

kiwi are protected.

Over the past two months it’s been

exciting at Marunui Conservation

hearing pairs of kiwi calling at night.

Keeping them safe from predators on

its 421ha bush-covered property is one

of Marunui’s main tasks and with the

breeding

season

approaching

becomes a vital activity.

and the help of local volunteers.

Trapping has been carried out every

three weeks from November to March

and 4-weekly from April to October

using a variety of baits depending on

the type of trap. The majority (120) are

for catching mustelids – ferrets,

stoats and weasels. These include

DOC200s, DOC250s and Fenns. They

also catch rats, while Trapinators and

Timms traps target possums.

In 2021 the catch totalled 12 stoats, 5

weasels, 5 feral cats, 156 possums, 25

hedgehogs and 228 rats. In addition,

annual baiting for rats and possums was

carried out in September-October,

considerably reducing the numbers of

both. So far this year 6 stoats, 3

weasels, 1 feral cat, 25 possums, 11

hedgehogs and 28 rats have been

caught.

In addition, in 2021 the Ring of Steel

project, which involves the servicing of

mustelid

traps

properties

surrounding Marunui and including in

Hancock’s

Waipu

Forest,

caught

stoats,

weasels,

feral cat, 56

hedgehogs

and 427 rats.

Stoats

are

the

major

killer of kiwi

chicks so the

removal of

the above 44

stoats will have been key to chick

survival, potentially enabling them to

reach breeding age. Together with

weasels, stoats also predate other native

birds, eggs, lizards and insects.

Although no ferrets have been caught in

Marunui since 2019, they present a

major threat to adult kiwi, illustrated by

the death of one male last year in

Waipu Forest. A ferret was recently

seen on a neighbouring property and

extra traps were deployed.

The recent sighting at night in Marunui

of a juvenile kiwi and the number of

calls heard gives confidence that the

combined efforts of all involved in

Piroa-Brynderwyns

Landcare

are

making a significant contribution to

kiwi recovery in the Brynderwyns and

surrounding areas.

cause, please contact us via our website

MAUNGATUROTO &DISTRICTS ROTARY

Like most organisations, Maungaturoto

Rotary has found that there have been

severe limitations in activities we have

been able to undertake as well as a

general cautiousness in attending

meetings. We are hopeful that very

soon there will be a “new normal”

within which we can more effectively

operate.

DRIVER MENTORING

Our

Driver

Mentoring

scheme

continues to go well, even though all

students need to be double vaccinated.

We had another success during the

month. There is quite a long “wait-

time” for appointments with VTNZ so

we encourage our students to book as

soon as they (and their mentor) feel

they have the ability to pass their

Restricted.

There is no doubt that the students who

perform best on testing day are those

who have been able to drive their

family car on a regular basis in a

variety of places.

Just a point to note – if your son/

daughter is driving a car alone on a

Learner’s License, and has an accident,

most insurance companies will not

cover the cost of repair of either car.

This means you could have a

substantial debt to pay.

Talking of Driver Mentoring

– if

you have an hour or two a week that

you might be able to give in Mentoring

(enabling clients to get from their

Learners to their Restricted) please let

me know.

We work with People Potential and

Roadsafe North, and there is a one-day

training course that needs to be

attended with an approved Driving

instructor. At the moment, we have

three Mentors but it would be

good to have more on board so

we can make more effective

use of the car. Usually, we aim

to provide 12 lessons (the last two in

Whangarei), length of which varies

from one to three hours. A Mentor has

the same student throughout at a time

that suits both parties. (Eileen –

0211420357).

Mentoring is a voluntary position.

MEETING

While we will always meet on a

Tuesday night, we have decided to

make some changes to our meeting

format. Most of our meetings will be in

the Centennial Hall but we are also

aiming to have more offsite meetings as

well as give the Maungaturoto

members a chance to join with

Mangawhai Satellite club on occasions.

The Satellite club is planning to wind

up their sailing activity at the end of

March but will start again later in the

year (possibly to coincide with daylight

saving.) From one session a week, this

has now grown to two sessions each on

Monday and Wednesday. I understand

that there are 35 youngsters involved

from the age of 8 to 13. Not only do

they have a very dedicated group of

tutors, but the parents are very

supportive as well.

BBQ

While Mangawhai makes the most use

of the east coast, we were able to hold a

BBQ at Pahi on a recent Tuesday night.

The weather was perfect and the ability

to meet outside (in the shade of the

Moreton Bay fig) added a pleasant

dimension to fellowship

BOOK REVIEW

Recently, I've read Isobar Precinct by

Angelique

Kasmara,

and

really

enjoyed it. "

chain of events

Lestari

into

the orbit of an
unpredictable
drug.

Its

connection to
several deaths

amongst  the  local  transient  community,
along  with  the  uncovering  of  illegal
clinical  trials  in  the  1980s,  sends  her  a
clear  message:  stay  away.  Then  tragedy
strikes close to home, and she needs to do
something,  and  fast.

" The story is set

largely around Karangahape Road in

Auckland. This book is on our Rental

IS YOUR HOUSE EARNING MORE

THAN YOU?

Kaye McElwain from Ray White has lived in the area for 17 years and has

worked in real estate for more than two decades as an agent and business

owner. Once a month she writes a column with commentary and analysis

on our local real estate market. Today, she questions if your house is a

bigger earner than you are?

Over the past 12 months, the median house price for New

Zealand has increased by $161,700 while the average

household income across the country was $97,760.

It is quite likely that over this time, your house was earning more than you.

Obviously, the biggest challenge is that it isn’t possible to spend the capital gain

you have made on your home without selling the house, unlike your household

income which comes in the form of ready to spend cash. As to whether your

house will continue to be a better earner than you, it remains to be seen.

At this stage, however, it does seem unlikely with median house price growth

slowing. In some places, prices will also go backwards. Your house may have

earned more than you in 2021 but that is less likely to be the case this year.

There have been a series of

headwinds

that have come into the

real estate market during the past

month.

This

coincides

with

considerable rise in listings which

allows buyers more choice. The

announcement of interest rates rises

together

with

ongoing

lending

restrictions has resulted in more value

for buyers as inventory levels rise.

It is unfair to be precise about how the

headwinds may be navigated given

there are still tailwinds in the market,

but one can safely assume that the

housing cycle has begun to turn a

corner.

If you’re thinking of selling your home,

now is still a great time to take

advantage of the tail-end of this existing

cycle before a cooler market kicks in.

Best wishes and I look forward to

hearing from you,

Kaye McElwain 027 215 2016.

Anzac Day on April

25 is one

of Australia and New Zealand’s

most important and revered

national occasions.

This day marks the anniversary of the

first major military action the countries’

forces fought during World War I. With

the many commemorative services and

memorials available today, Anzac Day

is a time in which New Zealanders

reflect on the many different meanings

of war, while honouring those who have

given their lives for their country.

Historically, ANZAC (Australian and

New Zealand Army Corps) was an

acronym devised by Major General

William Birdwood's staff in Cairo in

early 1915. It was used for registering

correspondence for the new corps and a

rubber stamp was cut using the letters

A.& N.Z.A.C.

After the landing at Gallipoli, General

Birdwood requested that the position

held by the Australians and New

Zealanders on the peninsula be called

'Anzac' to distinguish it from the British

position at Helles. Permission was also

sought to name the little bay, where the

majority of the corps had come ashore

on 25 April 1915, as ‘Anzac Cove'.

Flowers have traditionally been laid on

graves and memorials of the dead. The

‘poppy’ has a special significance in

relation to Anzac Day in New Zealand –

when poppies are traditionally worn.

The Friday before Anzac Day is

designated Poppy Day and fundraising

efforts are organised by the RNZRSA

for the welfare of war veterans and their

families.

During

September-October

1939

throughout ten Allied countries, and

upon the suggestion of FIDAC (Inter-

allied Federation of Ex-Servicemen),

the 25th anniversary of Laurence

Binyon’s

“For

the Fallen”, was

observed. This is

one of the most

famous

and

enduring

war

poems, and it

was written at an

historic moment

– just after the

retreat

from

Mons and the

victory of the

Marne. As to

how it came to be written, Laurence

Binyon, pictured above, who celebrated

his 70th birthday on 10 August 1939,

says: “I can’t recall the exact date

beyond that it was shortly after the

retreat. I was set down, out of doors, on

a cliff in Polzeath, Cornwall. The stanza

‘They Shall Grow Not Old’ was

written first and dictated the rhythmical

movement of the whole poem”.

When war broke out he was too old to

fight but volunteered to serve with the

Red Cross and spent time at the Front

during 1916. Binyon was deeply moved

by the horrors that he witnessed and the

loss of life and wrote a number of

poems which were published as a

collection in 1919 called The Four

Years.

The Hakaru and Districts Memorial

RSA Will be holding an ANZAC

Commemoration on Monday 25th April

starting at 11:00 hrs sharp at the

HAKARU and Districts Memorial

RSA, 733 Settlement Rd, Hakaru.

Poppies will be available for

sale in the week before at

outlets in Mangawhai and

Kaiwaka, if you would like

to assist with selling Poppies, please

contact Ann Dowson, President of the

Women's Section.

ANZAC DAY ~ 25 APRIL

KAIWAKA CAN

Saturday 26 March saw the official opening and blessing of

the twin walking bridges and new park signs.

The blessings were shared between Matua Ben and Derek Christensen with the

unveiling of the park signs and ribbon cutting for the bridges given to the Guest of

Honour John McClean who has kindly donated the land by the St John hall. In

unveiling the sign for the new piece of land he said he was excited with the

planned proposals for the new park land.

Now that the bridges have been completed it is time to move to the next stage. I

know there have been those who have made comments about bridges to nowhere,

well the bridges are the start. Now it is time to put in the walkways which will

need many hands to make it a reality. Come along to our meetings or contact us

pukepunga@xtra.co.nz and learn more about our vision and perhaps join our band

of volunteers in this venture and others and help make Kaiwaka a destination not

just a town on the State Highway.

We were to hold the annual meeting next month but due to several of the executive

being unavailable it was moved that we hold it off till Wednesday 18 May.

David, Chairman Kaiwaka Can. Photo right taken following the opening - Cr. Jonathan

Larsen, David Wright, John McClean and Derek Christensen.
