KSA: OTAMATEA GROUP DAY

Tuesday 25 October pupils from surrounding schools - Mangawhai Beach,

Ahuroa, Tauhoa, Waipu, Otamatea High, Maungaturoto, Wellsford and

Home-school - met at our local sports ground with their lambs and calves.

This Group Day has been enjoyed for many years by

families. The numbers weren’t huge but the quality

was outstanding.

Photo left is of Arjan Pedersen who was one of the

Calf judges. Arjan is very experienced in calf rearing

and handling, having competed in many Shows and

was awarded the 12 year badge through the Otamatea

Group. The Alf Lacey Shield he is holding was first

presented by Alf Lacey in 1946 to the Otamatea Group Calf Clubs for ‘Best

Dairy Type’.

Some folk may remember Lacey’s Pharmacy Alfred Ernest Lacey (pictured

above with his wife Nell), born 1 April 1908 in Whangarei, married and

moved to Maungaturoto in 1943, opening the town’s the first chemist shop.

WEATHER

SEPTEMBER

The lawns are still very wet. I start

thinking it is going to be dry enough to

mow them all and then down comes

the rain again grrrr. Even when we did

get a fine day, there wasn’t any sun or

wind to dry out the ground.

We had 115ml of rain over 18 days in

September 2022 and 19 days in 2021.

The highest rainfall recorded by me

for September was in 2015 with a total

of 207ml.

The least rainfall for September was in

2008 with 43.5ml.

The Brynderwyn waterfall has been

flowing steadily all this month. The

weather is getting better, and I suppose

it won’t be long before some are

looking for moisture from the skies

(not me). Spring has certainly sprung.

Some of the trees are starting to get

their new leaves.

Take care everyone, Karen

6.00pm. No entry fee required and

prizes for winner of the Main Event

and also the Plate Round.

Geoff oversees the games and answers

questions about the rules etc, so come

This should appeal to all districts that

surround

the

Kaipara

District,

including

Waipu,

9-Ball is a now a world-renowned

sport

where

has

several

representatives on the world stage.,

even ranking within the top 100. What

we have not had is representation from

the Northland area. Geoff hopes to

rectify that in the coming term by

inviting you all to drop by and look

into it.

Membership at Hakaru is $15. We

have 2 new American 9 Ball tables in

mint condition which is what makes

4 & 5 November 7.30pm

6 November 2pm

Based on the true events of the 1966

mining disaster in Aberfan, Wales, The

Revlon Girl tells the story of four

mothers grieving the loss of their

children. Warm, sorrowful and at times

surprisingly funny, this Olivier Award

nominated play is a story of survivors,

small-town

bickering

and

the

redemptive power of make-up.

Contains adult themes; parental

discretion advised.

LOCAL BIRD SURVEY: HAVE YOU SEEN OR

ARE YOU HEARING KIWI AT NIGHT NEAR

YOUR HOME?

We are doing a survey to see where kiwi have dispersed to in the

Piroa-Brynderwyn ranges. We know that 43 birds were re-

introduced to the bush at Marunui, up King Rd, from 2013 to

2016. 6 more rescued birds arrived in 2020.

Where are they now? Are they breeding successfully? What is

the population now? Are we doing everything we can to keep them safe?

The first step in answering these questions is to find where they have

established territories, and we can do that by listening for their distinctive calls.

Not sure what a North Island Brown Kiwi sounds like? Head to the Save the

Kiwi website and look under kiwi call/kiwi facts: https://www.savethekiwi.nz/

about-kiwi/kiwi-facts/kiwi-calls/

If you think you are hearing kiwi at night, we would love to hear from you.

SENIORS’ AFTERNOON TEA

This is a good time to remind you

about our Seniors’ afternoon tea which

we are planning to hold at 2pm on

Friday 25th November in the

Centennial Hall, Maungaturoto. Once

again, we are going to be entertained

by some of Maura Flower’s singers. It

is amazing the talent that is in this

group and we are privileged to be able

to enjoy their presentation each year.

To help us with our catering, if you

would like to come, please call either

Eileen – 021 142 0357 or Stella – 021

149 0877 by Friday 18th November.

HAVOC

As many of you know, we help look

after the tracks in both Piroa Falls and

Nikau Grove. The winter (and stray

dogs) have caused some havoc in

Nikau Grove, and we are in the process

of repairing the damage. Thank you,

Bruce for removing the two fallen

trees. We now need to look at ways of

replacing the metal on the track so that

it doesn’t run off. We are also placing

netting on the boardwalk so that it is

not so slippery. This is probably a good

time to remind people that dogs need to

be on a lead when walking through this

area.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE KIT

We were able to be present with a

display at the Matakohe Kauri

Museum’s 60th Settlers’ Day. This is

always a fantastic day which

commences with a church service at

9am in the pioneer church. Our display

this year was of an

Emergency Response Kit -

see photo. We fundraise to

cover the cost of a kit ($600)

and they are prepacked, ready for

shipping to any areas where emergency

supplies are needed, especially in the

Pacific Islands. The box holds 60 items

likely to be needed by a family in an

emergency situation. Included are

tarps, clothing, tools, cooking, eating

and medical essentials. The 78litre

container can be used to hold fresh

water. This display

created a

reasonable amount of interest, and we

were also fortunate to meet a Rotarian

from the Netherlands, who arrived at

the Museum as part of a bus tour. Once

again, we became aware of Rotary

being a worldwide organization.

ROTARY ALUMNI

We are interested in hearing from

Rotary Alumni – those people in our

community who may not necessarily

be a member of a Rotary club but who

have taken part in one of the many

Rotary programmes over the years,

including Rotary Youth Leadership

Award (RYLA), Model United Nations

Assembly (MUNA) or have been on a

student exchange overseas. It would be

great to get in touch with any of these

people in the hope we can reconnect

and at the very least hear their stories.

If you know of anyone who fits this

category, please tell a Rotarian about

them or get in touch with me (Phone

Eileen – 021 142 0357).

Today Kay looks at the perils

facing

private

property

sellers.

At first, it might appear to be an

appealing option to sell your home

privately and avoid paying any

commission to a salesperson but doing

it all yourself can open a can of worms.

You must ask the question are you

equipped with the marketing and

negotiation skills to get the best

possible price for what is likely to be

your biggest asset?

According to the Real Estate Institute

of New Zealand (REINZ), the median

price for properties sold by real estate

agents was 15 percent higher than for

private sales.

To give you a snapshot of where our

local market is at - the latest stats from

realestate.co.nz show that Northland

has had an increase of 104% of new

property

listings

compared

September last year.

This sharp increase in property stock

gives buyers more choices, creates

more competition between listings, and

produces more favourable

conditions for buyers, not

sellers. With this current

cooler market, it’s essential to use all

the tools in your armoury to secure a

sale.

At Ray White Mangawhai we function

differently from other agencies in that

we work as a team with an open

database where all salespeople can tap

into our extensive list of contacts to

match your property with the right

buyer. We enjoy a dominant market

share of all sales across Kaiwaka,

Mangawhai, Te Arai, Hakaru, and

Topuni.

In a cooler market, marketing is more

important than ever, at Ray White we

have our own cutting-edge social

media marketing (Be Seen) that utilises

ads on Facebook, Instagram and

Google Adwords which consistently

delivers more buyer leads than any

other real estate advertising including

Trade Me.

Attracting interest is only one part of

selling a house - it’s not the same as

selling furniture or even a car, there are

a bunch of legal considerations. When

selling your property, you’re legally

obligated to share all the relevant

information about it, such as any issues

with the boundary or title, any

unconsented

building

work

alterations,

any

known

weather

tightness issues, and whether any

proposed developments could have an

impact on a buyer’s access, views or

enjoyment.

If you fail to share this info with buyers

you could put the sale in jeopardy, or

even

taken

court

for

compensation. So as a private seller

you might not be paying commission

but you also run the risk of ending up

with a hefty legal bill if you’re not up

to speed with the legal loopholes when

it comes to selling real estate.

Feel free to give me a call at any time.

Best wishes Kaye, 027 215 2016

The annual challenge is on once again!

Kids aged 5 to 12 years old can report to

333-sized pizza. Ask at the counter, and

we can give you an informational

bookmark to keep, and we will give you

CHANGES IN NON-FICTION

If you've been in the library over the past

few weeks, you'll probably be aware that

we have been having a clear-out of tatty

and unread books from the Non-Fiction

section. What a change! The shelves now

look much tidier, and more attractive,

and it will be easier for everyone to find

what they're looking for.

As a result, the wooden shelves against

the window at the State Highway 1 end

of the library will be taken away. They're

my personal property that were on loan.

Already, with the books removed from

those shelves, there's a lot more light in

the library, and it will only get better

when the shelves themselves have gone.

I am considering ideas for using that

space to expand the junior sections of the

library in some way.

BOOK REVIEW

I have read so

many

books

since

last

reported here in

the Bugle! If

you want to see

what

I'm

reading and how

I rated it, sign

Goodreads.com

and ask to be

my friend there,

and you'll see it

all,

including

the roughly 30

books I've read

since the last one I reported.

One of the most fun ones I've read lately

is The Kaiju Preservation Society by

John Scalzi. "When COVID-19 sweeps

through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck

as a dead-end driver for food delivery apps.

That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an

old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what

he calls "an animal rights organization."

Tom's team needs a last-minute grunt to

handle things on their next field visit. Jamie,

eager to do anything, immediately signs on.

What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the

animals his team cares for are not here on

Earth."

If detective thrillers are your style, I've

been reading the Tracy Crosswhite series

by Robert Dugoni, the Caleb Zelic series

by Emma Viskic, the Josie Quinn series

by Lisa Regan, and more. All of these

books are on the shelves in the library.

See you in the library ~Wendy

TAONGA HAUORA COUNSELLING SERVICE

It is with pleasure that I introduce myself to both new and existing clients as I

transition from working mainly in the education sector to the private sector and

offer my professional services as a counsellor.

I work from the Health Center, TAONGA HAUORA, which is 5kms North of

Kaiwaka on SH1 and is sign posted. This center provides Holistic Health

Services as an alternative to mainstream allopathic medical practices along with

counselling.

I am a parent and a grandparent and have worked in this area as a teacher and

school counsellor for the last 21 years. I am passionate about supporting my

clients in identifying their

problem stories and using their

inner strengths to find solutions.

I work with a range of age

groups, youth through to

retirees, and specialise in a

number of areas, which include

mediation, grief and trauma

counselling, emotional self-

regulation, restorative justice,

supporting youth during family

break-up, and life coaching.

I also provide holistic health

assessments which includes the

use of a device called a HeMe, that provides a report giving mineral readings,

potential disease risks, and health suggestions including dietary advice.
