DAFFODIL DAY - THANK YOU KAIWAKA
Daffodil Day Street collection this year had volunteer collectors at Kaiwaka Four Square and La Nonna Bakery – thank
you Ant and Jess, Ilio and Eva – and thank you to our organisers Silvia and Carolyn.
The funds raised will help us continue to offer support in Kaiwaka and its surrounding areas.
Our cancer support nurse specialist Maggie Prentice is available to guide patients and their
loved ones to the services that are available to them and to advocate on behalf of cancer
patients. Our nurses can also discuss the treatment options, side effects, and explain in a
language we can all understand.
Domain Lodge is the Cancer Society’s subsidised accommodation for Northland cancer
patients who are receiving treatment in Auckland, ensuring easy access to treatment. Our
driving service also means that patients can get to and from their appointments, helping to take
the pressure off whanau and friends.
Daffodil Day donations are
also used to help fund
research to lessen the impact
of cancer in future
generations.
If you or a loved one
would like to talk
more
about
our
Cancer
Society
support
services,
please call 0800 366
066.
Cancer doesn’t stop
and with your help
we won’t either.

WEATHER
JULY
Rain, rain, rain and more rain. What a
soggy month it has been. The
Brynderwyn waterfall was really
gushing on Monday the 25th it’s a pity
I can’t put a video in the Bugle as it
was quite impressive as it splashed out
onto the road. Our lower lawn has
gone beyond soggy - it is now
extremely boggy. The temperatures
have cooled somewhat in the last
couple of weeks.
We had 404ml of rain for July 2022.
The most rain I have recorded over the
years at our place for July is – surprise
– this year!
We had only 6 fine days for the month,
so do the math, that’s a huge 25 days
of wet weather.
The least rain recorded for July was in
2013 when we had only 45.5ml over 6
days. Bring back 2013 I say.
The poor farmers are battling very wet
paddocks and the animals I am sure,
are tired of standing on cold, wet
pastures every day.
We have had our second clutch of
ducklings arrive on our property - 11
this time.
As I type this report, I am enjoying a
beautifully sunny day. A great way to
end a very wet month. Keep warm and
dry people. ~ Cheers, Karen
Attendance was small at our
July meeting; we really would
love more Ladies to join us.
Our Secretary Jan wasn't able to
attend, hope you are better soon Jan we
miss your cheeky comments. Thank
you, Lena, for taking the minutes.
Ann was the only one able to go to
Birkenhead’s Birthday and they talked
Neville into joining us (no he didn't
have to wear a skirt, but he was able to
get up and line dance!)
Pamela Truscott was our Birthday girl
this month and I know she had a good
day at her surprise party. The raffle
for this month was won by Heather (I
hope you are enjoying your lovely
warm rug) and Petronella was second.
We have an invitation to Franklin’s
77th Birthday on Monday 12th
November, $26 p.p. So far no-one has
indicated they are able to attend.
We are hoping to have a housie
afternoon sometime soon date to be
advised.
Ann gave a talk on her career in the
WRNZNS lasting 3 years which she
thoroughly enjoyed.
The RSA is up and running last
Thursday we had approximately 30
people present and the food was lovely.
Our August meeting was on Thursday
25th and our next meeting will be on
Thursday 22 September at 1.30 p.m.
We would love to see some visitors.
Keep warm and Covid free, Cheers
Ann.
NIWA: Our wettest ever July (don't
we all know it!)
"Record breaking rain, temperatures
and wind were all part of the weather
story for July. The rain was perhaps the
most memorable feature of the month.
Of the six main centres in July 2022,
Auckland
was
the
warmest,
Christchurch was the wettest, Hamilton
was the driest, Tauranga was the
sunniest and Dunedin was the coldest
and least sunny."

Kaiwaka Bugle - 29 August 2022

I was born in the Waikato
and farm raised.
Attended
Teachers
College
but
returned to farming then fishing in the
Bay Of Islands.
Started concrete construction business
and land development in Kerikeri.
Played rugby representing Northland.
I undertook public relations for Olivine
NZ to modernise and construct a Waste
To Energy project at the Meremere
Power Plant. I note that 20 years on we
are still contemplating dumping in our
beautiful environment at Dome Valley.
I moved to the Kaipara District in 2001
and undertook development of rural
and urban sections in conjunction with
operating a concrete construction
business.
I chaired a charitable Trust which built
3.5 kms of cycle track in Mangawhai.
I’ve always supported initiatives giving
back to the community that has been so
good to me.
Now that I have scaled back my
business activities, I want to devote my
time to our great Kaipara District
community.
I am standing on three principal
foundations of economy, democracy
and community.
New Zealand is entering tough social
and economic times. In the year to
June, 11,500 more people left NZ than
arrived. We are in a battle to keep our
businesses, our talents and our young.
These issues are felt particularly in
Kaipara District with a low population
and only 18000 ratepayers. Without a
strong economy we won’t have the
increased funding for roads, health
facilities, and expenditure on the
environment. Kaipara District Council
requires
prudent
economic
management.
We must focus on core services of
maintaining, renewing, and improving
our infrastructure whilst maintaining
affordable rates.
As Mayor I will drive review of
staffing levels and expenditures,
promote an agenda seeking efficiency
of process and seek
the
removal
of
unworkable rules and
unnecessary
compliance costs to
our farmers, growers,
businesses and the
wider community.
What a great district
we live in. Not just
stunning
coastal
beaches,
mountain
and
lake
environments to play,
walk, fish and enjoy.
The likes of the funky
Eutopia Cafe, bustling
local
supplied
markets delights for foodies, fantastic
niche shops not found in the big smoke.
Promoting these to attract investment is
a priority.
I support celebrating the culture and
diversity of all groups in our
community but oppose co-governance
and the mandating of 3 Waters. If our
district is to be successful, we must
stand up for the things we believe in,
unite around the things we have in
common and not allow ourselves to be
divided by our differences. We must
support each other throughout the
Kaipara in our endeavours to improve
outcomes for the young, families and
the elderly.
Our communities are looking for
practical leadership that will speak on
behalf of our local community, rather
than parrot the view of Wellington. A
return of public respect to our local
council is needed. Too many of our
councillors have failed to grasp the
simple concept that they were elected
to represent the community – not
dictate to them. The 2022 local body
elections are an opportunity to change
that.

NATIONAL GARDENING WEEK:
17-24 October: Grow good soil
Plant a pair of undies to find out how healthy your
soil is. By burying 100% cotton underwear for a
couple of months is an easy and effective way of
measuring soil health. The more threadbare the undies,
the more micro-organisms in the soil meaning the
healthier the soil.
The process is simple and be in to WIN:
Plant a pair of new, cotton underwear horizontally
about 3 inches deep in the site you're curious about and
mark the spot.
Wait at least 60 days. This gives your soil microbes time to work their magic!
Then dig the undies back up.
Send in a photo of your ‘harvest’ with name, address and phone number to
soilyourundies@yates.co.nz between 11th and 18th October and be in to win
some great prizes for the most soiled undies, the biggest undies and the
oddest undies. Plus, every entrant receives a free packet of Yates vegie seeds.
Yates spokesperson, Fiona Arthur, says soiling your undies is a fun way to make sure
you’ve got the best soil for optimum growing conditions this spring and summer.
Creating healthy soil is as easy as feeding your soil with organic matter such as
composted food scraps, grass clippings, leaves, sheep or horse poo and seaweed.
Then add blood and bone to fertilise, improve soil structure and provide natural
organic nutrients and lime encourages decomposition of organic matter and
earthworm activity. You’ll not only have great growing conditions for your plants,
but you’ll be helping nature and reducing your carbon footprint as healthy soil banks

Greetings all
My name is Phillip Johnson, and I am
standing for the Māori Ward in the
Kaipara district.
I live in Mangawhai and whakapapa to
Te Rarawa up on the Hokianga
Harbour.
I am a Senior Advisor for Oranga
Tamariki in the Māori Partnerships and
Communities Team and have worked
extensively with Iwi and Māori
organisations and NGOs in the
community and social sector.
I am also a former soldier serving in
the New Zealand Army for a number
of years.
In my various roles I have worked and
engaged with a diverse range of people
and cultures not only in New Zealand
but worldwide.
I moved to Te Tai Tokerau 3 years ago
to reconnect with Family. I am
standing for the Māori ward to bring
my experience and knowledge to
support Māori and communities to
ensure they have a voice at the Council
table.
I currently sit on the Committee at the
Mangawhai Club, and I was an active
referee for the Wellington Rugby
Union for 13 years before moving to
Mangawhai.
We live in one of the most stunning
parts of the country with access to
some of the most beautiful beaches,
diverse harbours and taonga like
Waipoua Forest and Kai Iwi lakes.
We enjoy culture, natural environment
and lifestyle that is the envy of many
and worth preserving.
Our towns represent the best of
individuality which is unique to the
lifestyle we enjoy in the Kaipara.
We are in a time of change now and
have been given an opportunity to
strengthen Māori representation at
Council, bring forward Māori views
and aspirations and contribute to
decision making that benefit Māori and
community in the Kaipara.
“Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari
he toa takitini.”
Success is not the work of an
individual but the work of many

AEONIUM ZWARTKOP and ALOE. I wasn't
sure about this pairing. Both plants are equally
strong. The Aloe flowers in winter when the
Aeonium is a lighter red being almost
black in summer. Then the Aloe is a strong foliage
element.
KAKA BEAK: I must remember to collect the seed
this year. This is my last plant descended from a
plant grown by my father.

Our Rotary Club has been hampered
with the effects of Covid as a number
of our fundraisers have had to be put
on hold. However, we are looking
forward to the results of our Quiz at the
Maungaturoto Country Club. This has
involved a substantial involvement
with Otamatea High School as the
proceeds are going towards the very
worthwhile William Pike challenge.
More of this in next month’s
newsletter.
CAT DEVINE
It would seem that the Rotary initiative
of the Te Tai Tokerau Mental
Wellbeing programme, offered by Cat
Devine, has been taken up by at least
one of the schools in our area. There
are at least 60 schools in Northland
who have signed into this. This
programme requires the commitment
of the staff, and it is believed that it
will have a very positive impact on our
tamariki. This will be run throughout
2023 and our Club is hoping to be
involved in some aspects of its
presentation.
DISTRICT 9910
Our Rotary Club is part of District
9910 which extends from the North
Shore to Vanuatu and Norfolk Island –
a huge area for our District Governor
to negotiate during his/her one-year
term. We were fortunate to have Matt
Mcleod (our DG) visit us early in
August and he was able to give us an
insight into his plans for the year, for
which our Rotary International (RI)
President, Jennifer Jones, has set the
theme “Imagine”. Each RI President
sets a theme that they hope will inspire
and motivate Rotarians in the coming
year (July-June) and
this one enables us to
let our imaginations
run riot.
PROJECT
CENTRIC
DG Matt does not
want us to place too
much emphasis on
meetings but wants
us to become more
project centric. His
aim is to connect
each
Club
with
District resources as new
initiatives are tried. My
Rotary provides a huge
amount in the way of
resources and the opportunity for free
professional
development.
An
important date on the Rotary Calendar
is the NZ and Pacific Day of Action on
September 24th. Each Club is expected
to be involved in this in a manner
which is most beneficial to the
community. If your organisation has
any suggestions of ways our club can
support your projects, please get in
touch with a Rotarian.
PAUL HARRIS SAPPHIRE
A highlight of the evening was the
induction of two new members and the
presentation of Paul Harris Sapphire
(with 9 sapphires) to Bron Ellison
(pictured below) who is our very able
Treasurer but who is also involved in
District Affairs. To receive a Paul
Harris award is special so to receive
this particular award, indicates a huge
commitment
to
Rotary
as
an
organisation.
PRESIDENT’S SCHOLARSHIP
Our
President’s
Scholarship
applications are now available. This
Scholarship is open to any younger
person (not necessarily at school) who
is aiming to become better qualified.
Forms can be obtained at Otamatea
High as well as by post through P O
Box 65, Maungaturoto 0547. It will
close in late October. We have had
some fantastic awardees in the past.

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.
Today she gives a snapshot of the
market and how Ray White can
assist you given the current
conditions.
Changes have occurred quickly for
buyers and sellers to transact real estate
across New Zealand. The ability to
borrow money has increased barriers
over the past quarter. When this is
linked to increasing interest rates,
affordability has resurfaced as a key
issue in buyer and sales rates.
Looking at where the market has come
from, it’s not a surprise to many that a
slowdown had to occur.
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.
The market certainly has been different
in the last two years. Today we sit in a
more normalised market rather than the
comparisons of 12 months ago. While
it’s easy to suggest that prices are
falling and market supply has
increased, pricing prior to the
pandemic and stock levels were much
more normalised. And while prices still
have a much higher value than two
years ago, the normalisation of stock
levels is closer. This is likely to
continue with property staying on the
market for an average of 12 weeks or
longer.
How is Ray White responding to the
market conditions? Most important is
for us to be able to convey information
on the active market and the properties
that are in competition to the listings
coming onto the market to you whether
buying or selling. Today, while the
buyer is important, most competition
comes from similar properties.
While auctions continue to be the
preferred method of marketing, it is
more difficult to encourage under-the-
hammer sales. We know that auction
provides transparency for buyers to
transact, whether that be before the
auction, at the auction or after. While
success rates have changed, the auction
method of marketing is still the most
successful, and in market conditions
that are potentially declining remains
relevant for sellers to consider.
Feel free to give me a call at any time
if you have any questions regarding
real estate. If there is any subject you
would like me to cover please let me
know.

WHAT’S THE REAL ESTATE MARKET DOING?
OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL
From Dirk Smyth, the Principal's News
OPEN DAY: What a wonderful day we had on Thursday 11 August when
prospective students from all of our feeder schools in the area arrrived. With
regular classes running on the day, Open Day was an opportunity for our visitors
to see Otamatea High School live and "in action". The weather was fantastic, the
school looked amazing and our senior students, who acted as tour guides on the
day, were excellent ambassadors for our school, looking after our guests and
helping them with their questions. We have so many new enrolments that we are
now planning on a school roll of around 640 for 2023, a significant increase
from our current roll of 560 students.
UNDER 15 RUGBY: We are now fielding a full under
15 rugby team for the first time in many years. Nick
Makea has been doing some wonderful work coaching
these boys. They had a tough game on Wednesday,
against a very strong Kaitaia team, and although the
boys lost heavily, they learnt a lot from this outing and I
am confident they will only improve from here.
2022 ANNUAL SENIOR SCHOOL BALL was a
success with the glitz and the glam of ‘A Night in
Hollywood’. Students were greeted with the famous red
carpet as they walked through the foyer and into the
gleaming hall, decorated from head to toe in black, red,
silver and gold

HAKARU PONY CLUB
The Hakaru Pony Club
celebrated the end of season with its annual
prize giving held at Hakaru Hall.
Huge thanks to coaches Amy Westlake, Cindy Balfour, Debbie Knapp,
Liz Welch, Julie Rynne and Marj Steiner. Held on a wet and wild day, the riders
collected certificates and trophies kindly engraved by Rick at Wellsford Engraving,
then raced around the hall on their hobby horses. Prizegiving was kindly supported
by Bennetts Mangawhai, Kaiwaka Cheese and Farmlands.
Not many riders attain the higher level certificates but this year Monique Balfour
passed her A Certificate in Taupo, congratulations Monique! Photos (x3) - flowers
for the coaches, Julie Rynne with the Lead Rein Group, the youngest riders for the
club and hobby horse races.
Hakaru riders Tegan Chisholm, Bella Jackson, Monique Balfour and Taryn Strong
represented Wellsford District at the Area Dressage Competition and were awarded
the Resilience Award. Due to COVID restrictions the team had to compete via live
video link which made for challenging competition conditions. The team received
Representative badges at the recent Wellsford District prize giving. Photo below-
left to right, Tegan, Bella, Taryn and Paige with Wellsford DC (District
Commissioner) Tiff Jackson.
And as the season finishes up just around the corner the new one begins. The new
season officially opens 1st September with the first ridden rally, enrolment and
"Intro to Pony Club" day being held at the club on Saturday 17th September
10.30am.
Despite the winter weather and an awful lot of mud, Hakaru riders (Debbie Knapp,
Tegan Chisholm, Stevie-Raye Rawaho Ball and Indie McGregor) have been out and
about competing at the One Tree Point Pony Club Showjumping Winter Series.
Congratulations to Deb who placed Overall Runner Up for Hacks and Stevie-Raye
who won the 40cm Overall Series and placed fourth Overall Junior. These riders are
now going on to compete in One Tree Points Winter Dressage Series.

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 THREE:
The one day in the year we young people
especially enjoyed, was the Pahi Regatta.
Each year we all donned our prettiest
frocks. It was such a meeting of friends.
We all took our lunches and picnicked on
the seashore. There were all sorts of boats
sailing, rowing, sculling, and later on,
when the river people got motor launches,
the pace was greater and more exciting. In
those far-off days, before my days of going
out, children were kept in the background
and under control. “Hack” races were held
at “Tokatapu”, the Colbecks’ home, and
were great fun, with rivalry amongst the
owners. Pahi was a beautiful spot and also
Whakapirau on the other side of the river.
The Linnell clan enjoyed a happy day, all
being lovers of horses.
CHURCH
We were always taken to church, any
service there was, in the little church at
Kaiwaka, from the time we were old
enough to ride, or, being driven there in the
trap when we got one. Sometimes the
Methodist, Presbyterian, or Anglican. It
was good training and we mostly liked
going. Very often a friend or two would
come back for lunch or tea, some coming
fair distances. One friend, a woman, rode
about ten miles and only a track through
the tea trees and scrub, and always returned
home even if it was dark, and in all
weathers. We admired her fearlessness. She
had the utmost faith in her old horse
“Peter”. She said he never let her down.
She was unmarried and feared neither man
nor beast, a grand pioneer.
BRYNDERWYN ESTATE
When I was a child and we were all at
home, Father was, as well as everything
else, overseeing the Brynderwyn estate, at
Maungaturoto, owned at that time by Mr R.
K. Davis, who was in business in
Auckland. In the summer we sometimes
went and camped in the house, a large one,
and we thought it a wonderful change, and
we had the run of that lovely place, and
plenty of picnics by the creek. Mr Davis
came unexpectedly one day, and I had on a
very strong heavy pair of children’s boots
which I hated. He looked at them and said,
“Why are you walking in my house with
those boots?”. I felt abashed, as they were
probably the first pair I had ever owned.
GARTERS
Our local medico lived nearby. He came in
one day, and I had put on stockings to be
more respectable and could not find my
garters anywhere. In desperation, I tied
them up with a strip of gaily flowered
chintz, and he made the remark that I was
wearing very gay garters. I thought he was
a brute. I was painfully shy in those far-off
days, and an inferiority complex was very
strong. But a trip to England when grown
up, overcame it, thank goodness.
CLERGY
Sometimes we were asked to entertain
the clergy and the Bishop when visiting
the district for confirmation services. On
one occasion, in our old home, Waihakari,
we had Archbishop Averill, Archdeacon
Hawkins,
and our vicar, Ranald
McDonald.
Everyone enjoyed having them. They were
easy to entertain. I flew down the river and
got some oysters to make soup and
altogether put up quite a good dinner which
they seemed to enjoy. After dinner they
played billiards on a small table, which
Father had got to amuse the boys, and girls
too. There was some amusement when the
archbishop bumped the “red” on the floor.
Father had met them at the railway station
with the “Yankee” buggy and pair of
ponies. Coming down the boundary line
was fairly steep, and I suppose the collars
were nearly over the ponies’ heads, when
the archdeacon stretched a long leg (he was
very tall) and put his foot on the brake;
much to Father’s amusement. They stayed
the night, and next day were driven back to
the
station.
They
continued
their
pilgrimage up north – but we enjoyed
it.
As I write, in 1964, everything has
changed so tremendously, sealed roads,
motor cars, and every convenience, inside
and out. Most of the dairy farmers even
have the tanker which comes to the shed
and takes the milk to the factory. There are
no pigs to feed as they don’t get the milk
(skim) back. So, the farms are sweeter, not
so smelly, as of yore. Everyone, even the
poorest families, have cars, sometimes a
rather dilapidated one, but not always,
often new smart ones. Men get good wages
working on the road and other public works
and spend as they earn. What was once
country covered with scrub and fern is
now, as far as the eye can see, beautiful
green paddocks. A great deal of the land
has
been
taken
over
by
the
“Rehab” (government) and made into
farms for the soldiers and returned men.
They are apparently doing quite well, but it
has certainly improved the look of the
countryside.
The TUTINS
In our early life, education was most
difficult. Fortunately for us our parents
had both been well-educated in
England. Mother was sent there to
school, so that she would not have a
pronounced Irish accent. So, she had
very little. Less than her brothers and
her sister. Father was very good at
figures and gave the boys a good
grounding in arithmetic. They, in fact
we all, were readers, which is a
wonderful
help, if you
can buy or
borrow
books.
Katie, the
eldest of the
family, was
sent for a
while to a
little private
school
at
Hakaru,
kept by two
Miss
Tutins, who
evidently
thought
deportment,
and
knowing
the correct way to retire
from
the
Queen’s
presence of the most
importance. The eldest
would dress up to be
the Queen and the girls
had to bow and curtsy
before her, and I fear
food and lessons were
of
secondary
importance. However,
but for them, specially the elder one, there
would not have been the present church at
Hakaru, had she not travelled the country
as far south as Dunedin collecting the
money for it. When eventually the church
was built, they kept it open every Sunday.
They had two brothers, but they lived over
the road and were kept discreetly away
from the young ladies’ seminary. The elder
brother read the service and the younger
sister played the organ. But she was so
short and had great difficulty reaching the
pedals. No one else went or went rarely.
But British blood ‘told’ and they had
achieved something worthwhile. They were
devoted to Royalty. When the Duke and
Duchess of York came to New Zealand,
they both went to Auckland to try and
catch a sight of them, and the eldest one
pushed through the crowd at Auckland
station saying to everyone, “I must see the
Duchess”. Some very gallant man heard
her and said, “You shall see the Duchess”
and picked her up. She was very small, so
she could see over the heads of the crowd
and got her wish! Traveling was not easy in
those days, and how they got round the
country was amazing. But the same church
is still in good repair. In 1902, after they
were gone, Father, who was a lay reader,
went every month and held a service, rain
or shine. I mostly went with him, driving in
the Yankee buggy – roads indescribable.
