40. 50, 60, 80, 100 - WATCH THE SIGNS!

The Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Road stretch of

Kaiwaka town is now 40 kph. This is

clearly marked with the added red paint

across the road just east of the primary

school. The 40 kph sign for turning left

coming from the north on SH 1 is rather

cluttered - photo far left, but the southern

approach seems to be shy of any signage -

be aware!

SH1 is still 60kph; most of Oneriri Road is

80kph (except where a 100kph is still

standing); the gravel roads are 60 kph ...

The Northern Advocate nominated John Bowmar, Kaiwaka

Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer in their list of

volunteers for National

Volunteer Week.

He was the first Kaiwaka

firefighter to receive the

Queen's Service Medal. For

him, firefighting is about

making a difference and

helping others.

WEATHER

May

The Indian Summer finally came to an

end on the 18th of May, with a 19ml

drop and then another 22ml on the

19th. The ground was wet but not

saturated. There were a few more

showery days to follow until we got

another lot of rain on the 29th when

we got 19ml and on the 30th we got a

whopping 40ml. The ground was then

saturated,

and

the

temperature

changed. Mostly warm but with a

cooler edge.

Our total rainfall for May 2022 was

122ml. This was recorded over 14

days (the same as for April).

The least rain recorded for May at

our place was in 2007 when we

recorded 35ml and the most recorded

for the month of May was in 2020

when we recorded 281ml.

The Autumn leaves are 99% fallen and

have made great mulch for the garden.

We had a clutch of ducklings arrive on

our dam on or around the 25th of May.

This is extremely early I feel, and we

haven’t seen any since.

Winter is definitely on its way.

Take care everyone, Karen

Principal's News

ENROLMENT SCHEME: A reminder that the Ministry of Education (MOE)

continues to work with the Board of Otamatea High School to implement a new

enrolment scheme, to be put in place for 2023 student enrolments. This has

become necessary due to the rapid roll growth we are currently experiencing.

Enrolment schemes are needed to help manage the risk of overcrowding at

schools. The MOE has completed their consultation process with our

communities, and we are now waiting to see what the submissions that have

been made look like before a final decision is made.

ATTENDANCE: I am pleased to see that our attendance rates have continued

to rise, with average attendance for the week at 85%, which is close to the 90%

minimum average attendance target for our students that we aim for. The

Matariki long weekend is a great opportunity for students to catch up on

outstanding work, especially seniors as there are now only 15 weeks of school

left before senior prizegiving.

ROCKQUEST: A huge congratulations to our school band Patient People for

making it through to the Northland Regional Finals (top 12 Bands for the

Smokefree Rockquest competition). A massive congratulations to Pigeon

Paradise on their fantastic performance. We have so much talent at our school,

and it is wonderful to see these students on stage, giving their best, and

representing our school so well. Ngā mihi, Dirk Smyth

NIWA: Seen a stunning sunrise or

sunset lately?

"Usually when you see a sunrise or sunset,

it is the clouds that morph into the most

vibrant

colours.

However,

when

stratospheric aerosols are present following

a volcanic eruption, they scatter and bend

the light as the sun dips or rises past the

horizon, creating a glow in the sky with

hues of blue, purple, and violet."

Kaiwaka Bugle - 27 June 2022

Page 7

After 12 years I am finishing my term

on the Northland District Health Board,

due to the health reforms district health

boards across the country are being

disbanded. Health NZ and the Māori

Health Authority are taking over to

create a national health service.

So why did I get involved and how did

an unknown woman from Paparoa

(Taipuha even) get voted on to the

district health board 12 years ago?

I had some governance experience

from school boards of trustees and had

worked in social work in a variety of

roles at Whangarei Hospital over

several years. Health board meetings

are public meetings so I sat in on a

number of them, and thought that yes, I

could add value at the meetings. I

thought the meetings seemed very

hospital and surgery focused and there

was very little about prevention, wider

social issues in health, challenges for

patients accessing services and the

needs of rural people, plus many of the

directors looked pretty old and out of

touch!

With fantastic family and local support

and a lot of pavement pounding and

driving all around Northland to erect

election billboards and hand out flyers

at markets or gate-crashing council

election meetings where health board

members were not included, I was one

of the seven elected members in

October 2010. It never got any easier to

be elected as I was not a household

name in Whangarei or anywhere else

and the second time, I stood I was not

re-elected which was pretty gutting.

But it’s hard to keep a good woman

down, and I was appointed on one of

the board committees during that term

and stood again in 2016 (for KDC also

at that election) and 2019 and was re-

elected those two times. In 2016 I was

appointed as chair the community,

public health and disability committee.

This ended up probably being the

highlight of my time on the board,

although being chair was a little

daunting at times. That was all about

prevention, public health and really

getting to the heart of improving our

negative health statistics.

So, did I achieve anything for the rural

area closet to my heart? I believe so.

The lower Northland area

we are in sits in Northland

DHB but near the border

of Waitemata DHB, and

the PHO that services this

area is not based in

Northland. For many years

I had to fly that flag to ensure that

when we were talking about data from

Northland it included this area as

otherwise, we had no visibility of the

delivery or outcomes for the health of

our people. When the free medical care

was introduced for under 13s, it did not

include our area so again I advocated

for that to happen. I have loved people

contacting me about their experiences

of health services, good and bad and

gaps that occur in access or services.

That has helped inform me in

discussions, and strategic direction, as

well as decision making. I kept my

focus on prevention; the impact on

families and carers of those with ill

health or disabilities, especially the

more disadvantaged in our region, and

ensuring all voices are heard not just

the loudest. And I have learnt so much,

about myself, about governance and

leadership about managing my time to

fit it all in! If you think you would like

to get more involved in your local

community, governance or in some

other way, give it ago, who knows

where it might lead.

Ko te pae tawhiti whāia kia tata, ko te

pae tata whakamaua kia tina - Seek out

distant horizons, and cherish those you

attain

I want to say a very big thank you to all

of you who voted for me, and to the

wonderful people who went out of your

way to support and mentor me. I hope

that I repaid that trust well in my quest

to be part of improving the health of all

Northlanders.

This is my last article as a health

board member so thanks to the

Kaiwaka Bugle for allowing me to

share updates and my thoughts over the

years, and to you for reading them. For

now, I am signing out!

fortunate to secure such high-level judges.

with a fantastic turnout of competitors jumping

soaring heights.

This

season's

ASTER AND HER CHICKS.

This is the stubbornest

bantam hen I've ever had. And I've been

keeping bantams for over 40 years. I thought

she was having a break. Middle of winter and

all. No. She was busy hatching these two. She

just loves making babies. More chickens are what we

don't need. But Aster is very friendly and brings up her

babies to be friendly. I don't know. I feel I'm being played

here. I think I might call them Waiti and Waita after the

Matariki twins. See, she's done it again. toxic.

MATARIKI

The newest volunteer at the Albertland Heritage Museum, Harold

Marsh’s great great-granddaughter and Lyn Johnston’s great-niece

– Emma Fairweather wrote: because we are celebrating Matariki

officially for the first time we thought we would share the legends behind

Matariki and why it is so important for us all here in New Zealand. ‘

A Matariki

origin story. The biggest and brightest star in the Pleiades cluster is called Matariki
and  she  is  married  to  Rehua  (Antares  in  the  Taurus  constellation),  and  they  have
eight  children,  both  male  and  female.  The  eldest  is  Pōhutukawa  and  she  is  the
guardian of deceased loved ones that have passed on since the last heliacal rising of
the  cluster.  There  is  also  Tupu-ā-nuku  who  is  female  and  is  associated  with  food
grown  in  the  earth  and  Tupu-ā-rangi  who  is  male  and  associated  with  food  that
comes  from  the  sky  (food  from  trees  as  well  as  birds).  Waitī  is  female  and  is
associated with food that comes from freshwater (like rivers and lakes) and Waitā is
male  and  is  associated  with  food  from  salt  water  (the  ocean).  Waipuna-ā-rangi  is
female and associated with the rain and Ururangi is male and is associated with the
winds.  Hiwa-i-te-rangi  is  the  youngest  and  she  is  associated  with  the  promise  of  a
prosperous year ahead.

ROTARY

DRIVER MENTORING

SCHEME

Our Club has been running this scheme

very successfully for two and a half

years now. It is aimed at assisting

people, once they have their Learner’s

licence, and have been able to do some

driving, to progress to their Restricted

Licence.

We aim to give each student at least 12

lessons to enable them to become

competent. The first few are in the

local area, gradually going further

afield until we spend some time

driving in Whangarei. We work under

the umbrella of People Potential in

Whangarei. The initial lessons are of

about an hour duration but as we go

further afield, lessons can be about 3

hours.

Our mentors can choose the number of

students they have, and the days and

times that they are available. We aim

for one lesson a week, preferably on

the same day.

Do you have some time to spare?

Would you like to become one of our

Mentors? This is a voluntary job, but

you will receive appropriate training.

Our Mazda is an automatic – see photo

below – and is well maintained by

Dean Garnett. If you would like to

know more about this scheme, please

call Eileen on 021 142 0357.

Page 15

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

worked in real estate for over 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 looks at what’s happening in our current market

and why,

contrary to what you may be reading and hearing, an

auction is still the preferred option for selling your property.

Looking at where the market has come from it’s not a surprise to many that a

slowdown has occurred. Since COVID-19 and post our first lockdown in April

2020, prices have surged an average of 41 percent during the past two years

across New Zealand.

This dynamic in house price increases has never occurred in previous real

estate markets in such a short amount of time. Interest rates dropped to record

low levels, and borrowing was encouraged. This allowed buyers to enter the

market and sellers to take a perceived uplift in price. Confidence abounded in

the market in New Zealand; property became very much the talking point, and

the success of marketing property increased, which delivered higher sale prices

and lower days on market.

Fast forward to October 2021, and we experienced the first upward lift in

interest rates since 2014 and since then we have experienced four further interest

-rate rises, this lifted the official cash interest rate to 2.0 basis points from 0.25

only nine months ago. It may not seem like a high-level increase in terms of

quantum, but in real terms, the lift has been

fivefold and is expected to continue increasing.

So how do you navigate this cooler market if you’re wanting to sell and still

get a great price for your property? Choosing the most appropriate method of

sale for market conditions and personal needs remains important. We know the

most active purchasers in the market

typically inquire early on property and

are attracted to ‘fresh homes’ coming

onto the market, with most properties

generating higher levels of interest in

the early days of being on the market,

and over time the levels of interest

wane.

While it’s more difficult to encourage,

under the hammer sales are still our

preferred marketing method. We

believe

that

auction

provides

transparency for buyers to transact,

whether that be before the auction, at

the auction, or after. While success rates

have changed with under-hammer

results, the auction marketing method is

still the most successful giving the

vendor the shortest days on market to

be SOLD. In market conditions that are

potentially

declining,

remains

relevant for sellers to consider, with

bidders needing to be unconditional

with their bid/s.

Feel free to give me a call at any time if

you have any questions regarding real

estate.

BOOK REVIEW

Margarita said of Love to cook: 120

joyful recipes from my new BBC

series by Mary Berry: "Recently, I

had the love of perusing through

cookbooks and found a few of the

recent Mary Berry cook books in the

Kaipara library, which I loved. This

one hasn’t disappointed me with 120

“joyful” recipes. The lay out is easy to

follow which gave me the confidence

to try the recipes. The ingredients can

sourced

easily

from

the

supermarket. She does use muscovado

sugar in a lot of the recipes which I

could not find in the local Four Square

so used brown sugar instead. The

recipes I tried were yummy with my

favourite being the sweet and sour

pork. All in all, a good range of recipes

without taking too much time." This

book is at Dargaville Library and can

be brought to Kaiwaka for you.

I've been reading the Hollows series by

Kim Harrison. Start with the first book,

Dead witch walking: "All the creatures

of the night gather in "the Hollows" of

Cincinnati, to hide, to prowl, to party...

and to feed. We have the first 5 books

in the series on our shelves, Dead

witch walking and The good, the

bad, and the undead on the free

fiction shelves, and the others on the

rental shelves. The first 4 titles are also

available as an ebook, which can be

borrowed for free.

Kaiwaka Bugle - 27 June 2022

Page 19

In 1964, at 85 years Lily Linnell,

fourth and youngest daughter of

George and Mary Linnell (nee Hull)

of the early Kaiwaka history. Lily

was born 12 January 1880 and died 4

June 1974 ….

PART ONE:

My father came from Cheshire, England in

1862 at the age of 19 years, in the company

of Mr and Mrs Forde. Allotment of land

was 40 acres for each person in those days,

but Capt. Forde, having been in the army,

received several hundred. But they did not

stay long in that spot, which was at the foot

of Pukekaroro Mount near Kaiwaka. A

block of Māori land attracted my father -

afterwards called Young’s Point - and he

moved there after marrying my mother,

Mary Hull, in 1867.

The Hull family had arrived in NZ from

Ireland on the Bluejacket in 1860 and had

settled on what was afterwards called

Fairburn near Kaiwaka. The first 5

children were born at Young’s point, but

later they moved to land next door,

also Māori land, called the Waihakari

block. On this the family lived for

many years until different members

got married. It is still owned by a

grandson.

Life was strenuous, and it was mostly

hard work by everyone of our family

of eight, and not much education.

However, we got along and had many

happy days. Mother had been well

taught in England and played the

piano. Many were the happy little

dances we had with friends coming,

under difficulties, to join us. We all

learned to dance, and even taught

some of our neighbours, who used to

come by rowing boats up the river.

The living room was soon cleared of

all furniture and dancing commenced:

polka, barn-dance, waltz, lancers and

d’Albert square dances. One neighbour,

Tony Hill, had been working on the

railway line coming north and attended all

the dances about. He made an excellent

MC and knew all the figures and how they

came. Mother’s music was good, and we

all had a splendid time. Later, we had a

large barn built and we danced there. We

generally finished in the “wee small

hours”. When we went to other peoples’

houses, we rode, or drove in a trap, and

took our clothes and changed at the friends’

house.

In between, we all worked at our different

jobs, helped milk the cows and fed the

animals. My eldest sister was a good hand

taking beehives and honey too. Well

protected with a veil and gloves and men’s

socks over stockings, she looked a real

character, but managed the job all the

same.

Father was a good rider and could handle

any sort of horse, riding or driving. He

used to go droving cattle and sheep to

Auckland with a neighbour, Bob Ross,

buying in the far north and taking them to

the market in Auckland. Sometimes

making a good profit, and other times not

so good. It meant long days in the saddle,

and often being away from home for a

fortnight or a month at a time.

The family carried on. The older boys with

the stock and the girls helping. Mother was

always busy cooking, making and mending

clothes for all – a truly good mother.

At one time our farm was supplying beef

and butter to the Pukekaroro bush, owned

by the Thomas Coates family, which was

being worked out. Father and the boys used

to hunt up a beast each week, fit for killing,

off the Māori run as we called it then. Most

of it had been leased from the various

Māori owners, so we had the right to run

cattle on it. There were also some wild

ones which had got away from people and

bred there, so it made the mustering of

tame ones much more difficult. However,

there

was

always

something

forthcoming.

When

killing day came round

the family lived on

edible entrails, and the

dogs on the rest. The

same applied to the

sheep. We did this for

some years, in fact till

the kauri bush was

worked out.

Mr T. Coates also

kept a store and we got

most of our goods and

groceries

from

it.

Mother even bought a

beautiful piece of navy

serge and made a sailor

frock for me. With a

pleated skirt and sailor

bodice, wasn’t I a

proud

ten-year-old!

And in the finish, I

think we came off with

a good few pounds to

our credit. They were

very nice people to

deal with and had a

wonderful bookkeeper

who made no mistakes. They were also our

very good and true friends, and their

descendants still are.

When father first started on his land, he

somehow broke in and trained four or six

steers, to pull in yokes, and did all his

hauling with them, and for other people

too. When some of the settlers arrived at

Mangawhai by boat, he was asked to take

them and their chattels across to

Maungaturoto, which he was able to do.

There was no distinct road either, to where

they had their allotment of land, 40 acres

each. We had quite a

number of nice friends,

but they were very

scattered. It was a

happy event when we

did meet, and all have

remained good friends

ever since.

Father was elected to

the County Council and

was in that for about 25

years and chairman for

twelve. At the present

time

his

grandson

Brian, who also owns

the old home, is in that

position.

At the beginning of

1900, Mother became

ill, and had to go to

Auckland, and was

operated on for a tumour. She, poor dear,

was never really strong again and passed

away in 1907 which was a terrific blow to

us all.

Previous to this George, Katie and Edith

had been married, so I was alone to nurse

her and cope with the housekeeping. and to

“do” for Father, Forester (Forrie), Dick and

Jim. Sometimes we had help, which was

somewhat indifferent, but at times good.

There was always plenty to do, and not too

many conveniences in those days.

George married Augusta de Labrosse

(Duttie) and they lived at “Ihu”, about a

mile down the river from Waihakari. He

had his own farm, down the Māori run,

“Tuhirangi” but also continued to work for

father, so was often at “Waihakari”. They

had six children. Percy, one of the younger

men, died in his sleep, when he was about

26 years old. He went to bed, apparently

quite well, and did not wake again. It was a

very great blow, and we never knew the

cause. It may have been an injury playing

football. A promising young man, full of

life. “Te Ihu” was purchased from Capt.

Colbeck, who owned the Bickerstaffe

estate, which was later sold to the

government and cut up into farms. It was

on the opposite side of the Otamatea River.
