WEATHER

OCTOBER

WOW what a way to end

the month of October!! Warm and

DRY, just what we needed. I finally

managed to mow 99.9% of our lawn in

the last week of October, albeit a bit

soft underfoot but then we had 77ml of

rain and the ground is back to the same

amount of softness as it was three

weeks prior and back to 75% mow. Oh

well you can’t win them all and after all

it is a typical spring. It won’t be long

before people are complaining about

the ground being too dry (not me – I

like the warm and dry).

For the month of October this year, I

recorded 182.5ml of rain over 14 days

(77ml of it falling in the last two days

of the month).

The highest rainfall recorded at my

place for October was last year (2021)

with 215ml.

The lowest recorded was in 2013 and

2010 both giving us only 12ml.

According to all the long-range

forecasts I have seen, we are to expect a

warm and damp summer. Great for

grass and crop growth, not much good

for crop harvesting and getting hay dry

or shearing sheep.

The Brynderwyn waterfall is flowing

very nicely.

Take care everyone, Karen

NIWA Report:

BLACK VELVETS CAFÉ, KAIWAKA

Black Velvets Cafe opened on Friday 4th November at 1954 State Highway 1,

opening in December at Mangawhai

Central).

Kirsten makes her own food (but does

source some items in) - cake, slices,

pretzels, sandwiches, along with hot

foods like pies and sausage rolls, hot

dogs and toasties.

There are vegan options, including

veggie frittata and gluten-free slices and

bagels.

And there is Coffee!

In December, opening hours will extend

HAKARU

MEMORIAL RSA

Great news! Hakaru RSA is

now the host of a Wednesday

9-Ball

Tournament

every

week at 6.00pm. No entry fee

required and prizes for winner

of the Main Event and also the

Plate Round.

Geoff will be overseeing the games and

answering questions about the rules etc,

so come on down and have a good

time. We have 2 new American 9 Ball

tables in mint condition which is what

makes this all possible.

9-Ball is a now a world-renowned sport

where NZ has several representatives

on the world stage, even ranking within

the top 100. What we have not had is

representation from the Northland area.

ARMISTICE DAY

On Friday 11 November at 11am at

Hakaru RSA we remembered those

whose lives were taken in the first

world War.

Armistice Day marks the anniversary

of the agreement that ended the First

World War which was from 1914-1918

and commemorates the sacrifice of

those who died serving New Zealand in

this war.

This conflict in the first world War left

between 9 and 13 million dead and as

many as one third of these with no

grave. It is an honour to remember how

much they all gave up for us, please

join us in remembering them.

We are also looking at opening on

Friday evenings in December.

Membership at Hakaru is $15.

We look forward to seeing you all at

the RSA, Settlement Road, Hakaru.

POSSUMS, RATS AND FOREST

Participants in a community-led pest control project on Oneriri Peninsula are

seeing reduced vegetation damage and increased numbers of birds.

The Kaira Oneriri Biosecurity Area (Koba) biofund has been renewed by the

Northern Regional Council (NRC) with an increase in the area covered to 1720

hectares and 19 landowners.

Prime targets for control are possums, rats and stoats.

The area includes two QE2 bush covenants and other remnants of former forest

cover. There are significant puriri, kohekohe, pohutukawa, titoki and kauri. Bird

species include kereru, ruru, kotare, korimako, matuku, riroriro and piwakawaka

with occasional visits from

North Island kaka. Matuku, the

bittern, is on the national critical

list with fewer than 1000 in

existence. The rarely seen

Northland green gecko is also

present.

The Northland Regional Council

has provided a range of traps

(including live capture) which

are available on loan to

landowners and residents living

between Kaira Road and Oneriri

Station.

Contact Hugh Patterson 021

1214 746

Photo: New control traps

include the "flipping timmy" and

"trapinator" - both 'kill traps'

used for possums. Box traps for

stoats and rats include doubles,

singles and a rat trap container.

What an amazing performance from our kapa haka roopu who looked fantastic

in their full dress, performing in the gym in front of the whole school. Their

practice at the previous weekend noho certainly paid off. The singing was in

harmony, the choreography was excellent, pictured with their pizza.

DARGAVILLE BOOK SWAP

Th latest Dargaville book swap is done

and dusted, with a new range of books

on our shelves. Many thanks to the

library volunteers who helped make this

happen - it's a lot of work!

SUMMER CATALOGUE

The new Summer Catalogue is

available from our counter early

December - listing some good

recommendations for great titles to read

for the whole family.

SUMMER

READING

CHALLENGE

There will be a Summer Reading

Challenge competition this year. It is

being held via the Beanstack app

(https://kaipara.beanstack.org/).

You

can access Beanstack either via the app

on your phone, or via the web site link

above. Get in the habit now of logging

your (and/or your child's) reading, and

you'll be ready to go when it starts. See

me if you need help getting started with

this. There's also information at

Enterprise about it - look for the

friendly blue button near the top of the

home page. Traditionally, there are not

a lot of entries received for this

competition, so your chances of

winning something are pretty good.

CHRISTMAS

HOLIDAY

SHUTDOWN

Our last day for 2022 will be Christmas

Eve, Saturday 24 December. We reopen

again on Monday 9 January. In the

meantime, anything borrowed in

December that would normally be due

while we're shut will be automatically

extended to the 9th. The after-hours

returns slot will be open, so you can

return books any time.

Come in and stock up on reading

material before we close, so you don't

run out over the holiday, or make good

use of our free digital library that is

open 24/7 - details are at Enterprise* or

come in and ask us about it. .

BOOKS FOR SALE

We have a great range of books for sale

on the table and rotunda just inside the

front door. Fifty cents each, or 3 for $1,

or 10 for $2.50. There are fiction and

non-fiction books to choose from.

These are old books that have been

culled from our shelves to make space

for new ones.

BOOK

REVIEW

I've read a couple

of light mysteries

recently that I

recommend. They

are The Raffles

Affair by Vicki

Virtue, and A

Cornish

Christmas

Murder by Fiona Leitch. Both are NZ

-based writers and are on the light side

of the thriller genre, and a fun read.

Now on the Rental Fiction shelves.

See you in the library ~Wendy

KAIWAKA SCHOOL NEWS

Last term the Junior School

went on their noho to Ōruawharo Marae, joining with the Kura on

lots of exciting activities such as poi, string games, rakau, waiata etc. They learnt about local marae

history and experienced a powhiri. Photo below left. And then to the Matakohe Museum where they

enjoyed the old schoolhouse – students pictured sitting in the old style desks.

Term 4

Term 4 is always a busy time. Post COVID we have some very exciting events happening. For the first

time in 6 years the Senior School went camping last week. The Year 5 and 6 children will be at

Marsden Christian Camp next week. The children will experience amazing activities that prompt

confidence building and self-esteem such as kayaking, flying fox and an amazing waterslide.

The Junior School will visit MAZ (Mangawhai Activity Zone) this term also having the opportunity to

grow their confidence.

Sporting activities on the calendar now that summer is here. The Junior School has a tabloid day put

on by the senior students of Maungaturoto School (2 December). This is always a fun day with the

children having the opportunity to mix with students from local schools. The Year 6's are off to a

similar fun day at Otamatea High School (30 November) where they will meet with other schools in a

sports day finishing off with a swim in the big pool.

A fun Athletics Day, including the local Kura and preschool on 7 December.

A powhiri for the gifting of two korowai has been held. These will be worn at the Kapahaka Festival on 3December at

Otamatea High School. We are on at 1.30pm if you want to come and watch.

Our Prize Giving will be on 9 December at 10am, at school in the shade of our

beautiful trees. The students will share their Kapahaka performance from the

Festival with whanau.

We are currently selling pool keys and the pool is open for the summer months,

after school, on the weekend and holidays. Keys cost $60 for school whanau and

$80 for community. ~

the Duke of Edinburgh (DOE) ($2,800)

and William Pike ($2,000) groups.

Participants in the latter were an

integral part of making our Quiz night a

great success. Otamatea is fortunate in

having such worthwhile groups which

help build resilience in the students.

Another way we have been able to

support young people’s fundraising

efforts is by having both DOE and

Netballers providing our meals on a

regular basis.

With Les in the picture below are from

left to right: Robyn Bruce (DOE

organiser), Alana Yardley (DOE Gold

participant), Dirk Smyth (Principal);

Sarah Campbell-Winter (DOE Gold

Participant) and President Les.

SENIORS’ AFTERNOON TEA

By the time you read this we will

hopefully have had our very successful

Seniors’ afternoon tea. We appreciate

the fact the Maura Flower is able to

bring her trainees along to entertain us.

Not only do those present receive a

feast of talent, but it is also an

opportunity for these youngsters to

perform in front of an audience that is

largely foreign to them.

President’s Scholarship

The President and selection

panel had a real challenge in

selecting the winner of the

President’s Scholarship of $1500. We

would like to congratulate Billie Le

Mesurier-Cowbourne on attaining this

award. As has always been the case,

selection of a standout is not easy, and

all the other applicants are to be

commended on their applications. We

would like to remind the community

that this is an annual award, and it is not

solely for school attendees. The aim of

the scholarship is to provide a person

who is furthering their education with a

little bit of help.

INTERNET FRAUD

We have also been able to get

Constable Trae Harrison to speak to

us on internet fraud. Trae investigates

fraud in the Whangarei and Kaipara

Districts. As Trae said, “it can be

hugely devastating for people to lose

money in this way.” This is something

that many more people are getting

caught with and we really appreciated

his taking the time to talk to us. Just

remember that banks will never ask for

personal details either by the internet or

by phone.

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

FEIJOAS: Still The feijoas are full of flower. Should be a great

season this year. We have 15 trees so could probably call it an orchard.

When the trees first flowered I saw birds eating the flowers and wasted

a lot of time chasing them off. One rainy day I was doing what

gardeners do. Reading about plants. Oh my goodness. Feijoas are pollinated by

birds. I had been trapped by the false assumption devil. Today I watched the birds

busily pollinating . Good little birds. They haven't changed at all. That was my

job.

HYDRANGEAS.

They

are

looking beautiful at the moment.

Lots of rain has them bursting into

flower. I'm slightly conflicted

because they struggle in our long

hot summer. And my rule is to

only grow plants that thrive in our

environment. But while they look

sad in February they don't die but

do bounce back. So I feel they are

worth it. Semi shade and well

mulched. Remember the colour

can change depending on the

acidity of your soil. That's pink

alkaline or blue acidic. Our soil

here tends to be alkaline. Easy to

propagate by cuttings. ~ Heather,

Kaye McElwain from

Ray White Mangawhai

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

looks at how to navigate today’s

changing market.

In these rather up and down, random

real estate times there are a number of

points to consider if you’re wishing to

transact - either buying or selling:

We have found a surge in requests for

property appraisals from potential

sellers over the last few weeks, which is

a very positive indicator towards a

flourish of activity in the New Year.

New property coming onto the market

this side of Xmas has also had a lift and

is very good to see. For the right

property in the right location, we are

still seeing interest from Auckland

buyers. The number of ‘lifestylers’ and

permanents moving north into our patch

has risen dramatically over the past few

years.

For those looking to buy, price

adjustments have been occurring from

our vendors, timed wonderfully to catch

the eye of a relaxed holiday maker

during the coming festive season.This

is a wise move considering the now

slower Auckland property market. The

savvy seller will utilise a marketing

strategy that secures an unconditional

buyer and this side of Xmas!

Feel free to talk to us about the best

strategy to navigate this changing

market.

With a changing market you will see

changing property values. Marketing is

key to both finding your desired

property; and for those selling -

securing the best buyer. Digital

marketing is the component of

marketing that uses the internet and

online based digital technologies such

as mobile phones, desktop computers,

and other digital media and

platforms to promote property. Here at

Ray White, we are all over this space!

We have packages with reach and

exposure to set your property apart

from the competition, and they don’t

need to break the budget. Drop in, call

or email us to know more.

Wishing you a safe and happy holiday

season, Kaye.

WHAT WE ARE

SEEING RIGHT

NOW!

CREATE MEMORIES

- NOT REGRETS

Live wisely and well

An elderly lady says, ‘One

benefit of living so long is

sharing what I’ve learned.

So, make my day by letting

me share three secrets that

can make your life better.’

Then she offers some great counsel:

‘(1) Time is precious; don’t waste it.

After my husband died, I was staying

with friends. One evening they started

arguing

and

eventually

stopped

speaking to one another. Now, I know

arguments happen; my husband and I

had several doozies. But at that

moment, I understood as never before

that the time we have together is

precious. Don’t waste it bickering about

things that won’t matter when your

loved one is gone. Do everything you

can to live in harmony and show your

love. Why? Because no matter how

long you have together, it’s never

enough.'

'(2) You’re making memories; make

them good ones. Looking back, I thank

God for so many unforgettable

moments. The day my husband died we

kissed (as we always did when we

parted), at noon. By five-thirty that

evening, he was dead. I’ve always been

glad about that final kiss. So, create

memories – not regrets!'

'(3) It’s not what happens, but how

you respond that counts. Every day

holds new challenges that will test your

love and resolve. You have the power

through Christ to make each test an

occasion for growth. Life is full of

seemingly unpleasant events. Try to

handle them in such a way that when

you’re old, you will be able to look

back and say, “I thank you, God, for

that experience; it helped me grow.”’

That’s how to live wisely and well!

Wisdom belongs to the aged, and

understanding to the old.’ Job 12:12

NLT.
