SKIES CLEARED FOR MUSIC

See the KAIWAKA BUGLE in colour online at www.kaiwaka.co.nz at any time.

Sun, music and community support brought sell-out success for

the three-day Northern

Bass festival

held for the tenth time in Kaiwaka at New Year.

Palmborg and Laura Rolandi

Experience and continuity in site management contributed to the Fuzen Entertainment event

and spun off economic benefits to area businesses and community groups.

Event producer Etienne Marais says preparation this December was "definitely harder after ...

six months of rain but in the end we were very lucky for the days of the festival."

Contractors were brought in to shore up internal roading and Thursday

brought traffic delays for some of the 11,000 crowd. However, the Lea-

bourn bus ferry on a loop from Mangawhai and the permit-based one-

way system on Settlement Road reduced the impact on locals.

"Buses moving people from Mangawhai obviously cut down on cars.

Northern Bass

is becoming a world event. It's as good a festival of

electronic music as you'd get. I'm proud of it," Etienne says.

Rural Design director Health Worsfold agrees wet weather made it hard-

er for Fuzen to restore the farm to pre-festival condition but other than

the wet and the abandoned tent issue everything was very positive.

Having daytime security done by local horse riders for a second year

was "very effective".

"Tent dumping is most concerning and happens at all festivals. The 'cheap tent issue' needs to be addressed with K-Mart

and The Warehouse." Festival-goer Ella Palmborg from Sweden says: "We enjoyed every moment ... The only bad thing

was the 'suuuper-long' queues." ~ HP

WEATHER

DECEMBER and 2022

I trust you all had a very Merry

Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Well! what a way to end the year,

December’s rainfall was looking at

being not too high, until we had 44ml

which

came

from

that

huge

thunderstorm on the 22 December.

The total at our place for December was

184.5ml over 15 days.

The highest rainfall I have recorded for

the month of December is 216ml over

11days in 2011.

The least I have recorded for the month

of December was in 2015 with only

27ml falling over 5 days.

2022:

The total rainfall at our place for

2022 was 2130ml over 185 days, which

I am sure will come as no surprise to

anyone to hear that it is the highest

annual rainfall I have ever recorded.

I have some very interesting records

from Derek Mason in the Hakaru

Valley. His 2022 total was 1928ml over

213 days. This is the highest Derek has

recorded in 46 years. The lowest annual

rainfall for Hakaru was in 2015 with

1061ml over 151 days.

The highest rainfall Derek recorded in

any one month was 587ml in July 1998

over 24 days, which was basically 1/3

of the annual rainfall. The lowest

rainfall he has recorded was in February

2020 with 4ml falling in 1 day. The

Hakaru Valley is approximately 3 kms

from our place (as the crow flies), but

the difference in rainfall is quite

interesting.

Buckle up for the storm, people.

From Derek on the morning of 5

January - he recorded 45ml overnight,

and we recorded 97ml. Hard to fathom,

but that’s how it goes!

Until next month! Cheers, Karen

FOR PEOPLE

(YOUNG & OLDER)

INTERESTED IN

GARDENING

Flowers, Vegetables, Herbs

and Fruit Trees

There is nothing more relaxing and

satisfying than seeing the fruits of your

labour flourish.

Finally the weather has settled and is

giving Northland a summer!

To keep moisture in the soil it is now

time to mulch around the varieties of

fruit trees - citrus, pip fruit, etc.

A close friend of mine uses dags - not

his own of course, but those of his

sheep, to keep the moisture in the

ground and ‘feed’ his fruiting trees and

shrubs. If dags aren't available

untreated bark

mulch or grass clippings

will do just as well.

Water the vegetable garden and flower

beds early in the morning or in the

evening to avoid evaporation.

FEBRUARY

VEGETABLE

PLANTING

include

cabbage,

cauliflower , broccoli, lettuce and silver

beet; add a side dressing of general

fertiliser to help growth.

FLOWERS - regularly dead-head

dahlias and roses to entice new buds to

form. With roses cut above a 5-leaflet

leaf - not a 3-leaflet.

HERBS can be harvested and dried for

winter use in soups and stews. = thyme,

sage and oregano are a must! Parsley

seed can be sown now to provide fresh

leaves later.

Finally, use all non-diseased refuse for

composting, then return it to the soil.

A Handy Hint from Bill Ward’s book

“Edible Garden”: ‘Garlic repels aphids

and keeps away vampires (when was

the last time you

saw one?). Garlic

planted

around

roses

works

wonders, and the

leaves are great

added to salads

and sandwiches.’

Until next month,

happy gardening.

LOCAL DOG TRIALS

The Molesworth Sheep Dog Trial Club

had its AGM last week, with a great

turn out of members it was a chance to

celebrate the successes of the last

season and get everything arranged for

the upcoming season and the club’s

annual trial in April. Club Patron, Bob

Sceats mentioned it might have been

the largest meeting attendance in the

club’s recent history, which is very

positive given the club is in its 73rd

year.

President Scott McRae acknowledged

all the club committee, supporters,

helpers, sponsors, landowners, farm

managers and sheep providers for their

involvement in last year’s trial, which

was dedicated as the Robert Hastie

memorial trial, to long time club

member and secretary for over 50 years

who passed away in November 2021.

While the trial seems like a simple two-

day event, it takes a dedicated team of

passionate volunteers to pull it all

together.

The club has

seen

some

outstanding

performances

and selections

during

2022

and

coming

into the 2023

season. Many of the clubs’ competitors

compete as well as judge events

nationally. In the judging space Duncan

Gilligan, pictured, was celebrated for

successfully judging the North Island

Tux Handy Dog event in Taupo in

December, Tony Hargreaves for

achieving the impressive total of 50

years of judging and coming into 2023

Scott McRae has been selected to judge

the straight hunt at the North Island

Championships in May, carrying on an

impressive history of club members

judging island and New Zealand

championships.

With the club trial just a couple of

months away, much of the meeting was

focused on what is required to

successfully run another event, judges,

sheep, food, entries, sponsors, and

everything in between. The club has a

committed group of volunteers, who

love to see the event succeed, as Scott

said in his president’s report, ‘we had a

successful 2022, let’s have a great

2023’.

There was some excitement at the

meeting with the season about to start,

as this Auckland Anniversary weekend

(what is known as) the club hill season

kicks off with the first Northland

Centre sheep dog trial at the Helensville

club, with many of the club competitors

and dogs making the trip south to

compete.

The Molesworth club trial is to be

held on Friday April 21st and

Saturday April 22nd at 616 Oneriri

Road, you’re welcome to come along

and watch, if you’d like to be involved

or know a bit more. ~ Fiona

I work for our 14

the

Kaipara rohe from

Oruawharo, Mangawhai, Dargaville

and to the Pouto Peninsula.

My problem is that I can't keep up with

the high demand of Employers for the

amount of work that is out there.

I work closely with MSD so no need to

travel to Dargaville, if you are

registered with MSD that's OK too.

I also work with KMR (Kaipara Moana

and need CVs to help put you in the

right place.

Don't belong to any of our marae that’s

OK too, the more the merrier.

I work remotely so I can come to you,

Oh, I’ll give a little bit of my life

for you

So, give a little bit

Oh, give a little bit of your time to

Now’s the time that we need to

share

So find yourself, we’re on our

way back home

Lines taken from Supertramp - Give a Little Bit

Times are tough for many people, the

cost of living has increased, and it

doesn’t look to be getting better in a

hurry. It’s a current worldwide problem

and while we have faced this before in

New Zealand and around the world, it

does not make putting good food on the

table any easier for many. Petrol and

food are both significant cost items

when you live in rural Northland, as

most of us reading the Press do.

For many of us however, due to the

good luck of our birth, we are not as

bad off as others.

Why is that? Yes, we work hard, but so

do many others who are not so well off.

Even as a poor student and poor back

packer I always knew that by the luck

of my birth I would be ok. I always had

family who could help me if I needed it.

I had a good education and good food

and support all my life. So, I have never

felt poor. So yes, I am very lucky, and

because of that, it is easy to make good

choices that continue to support my

good fortune.

I know that some people believe that

less well-off people or people living in

poverty (let’s say it as it is)

are to blame for their

misfortune. If only they

budgeted better, spent less

money on whatever is seen

as unnecessary by the

more well-off, just work a bit harder,

then they would be ok like us. My

social conscience alongside my work in

health and social services shows me this

is mostly untrue.

We are not short of food in New

Zealand, (thanks farmers and market

gardeners) but many people do not have

enough to eat including about 200,000

children. I believe that is not acceptable

and I take my hat off to those around

the country working to change that.

Successive governments have not done

enough over the years to remedy this

situation and to even up the playing

field.

New Zealanders are known to be very

generous people. Here in Otamatea I

want to shout out to ‘Whakatipu - Grow

Paparoa’ who use their community

gardens to feed locals, some of which is

distributed by Otamatea Community

Services so that nobody in our area

needs to be hungry; and to Te Pataka O

Kaiwaka Foodbank. This is a great

effort by many and is rewarding for the

volunteers as well. Giving to others

come back in spades!

My commitment for 2023 is to share

some of my good fortune with others.

What will you do, to give a little bit and

show you care?

Libby Jones

Looking forward to a more just 2023

“Tuesday 2nd May 1961:

Went to Auckland taking Trevor Smith,

Jim and Harold (Otamatea county

staff). Jack Litten, Roy Buckle also

went, and Archie (Bull) met us there.

We left at 8 am. Gathered at

Smytheman (solicitor) re water supply

for Kaiwaka. Town committee seeking

County Council, as they fear that

Maungaturoto will prevent them

afterwards met Worley. After lunch we

met again at solicitor’s office. We left

town about 5pm and back at Kaiwaka at

7pm. Were fairly satisfied with result of

NEWS

From Term Four 2022: ‘It is with sadness that we say good bye to four staff

members:

I would like to say a big thank you to Phil Lees who taught at our school this

year. Phil is known for his sporting abilities and there was not a day where I

wouldn’t see his class outside playing sports or doing fitness activities. Phil also

has a passion for teaching literacy and under his teaching we saw a great

improvement in the students writing and the way they saw themselves as writers.

Thank you Phil for your commitment to our students and their learning.

We also have three of our teacher aides leaving at the end of the year.

Chris Harrison has been with us for 5 years and has worked amazingly with our

ORS funded students. Pat Buxton is leaving to work longer hours with a child at

Maungaturoto Primary School. Ann England has worked with our ORS students

and groups of students receiving extra help with their learning.

We will miss you all and wish you all the best with your new endeavours.’

PIROA BRYNDERWYN’S LANDCARE

HOLIDAYS WITH DOGS

Responsible pet activity is about choosing walking tracks and visiting nature

parks that permit dogs, and need-to-knows about boating, toileting and lead

etiquette.

Much as you may want to take your pup to your favourite lake or beach – not all

outdoor activities are pet-friendly. We cannot emphasise enough how important

it is to control your dog on the beach.

New Zealand has some of the rarest animals and most delicate ecosystems in the

world: NZ dotterel/tūturiwhatu, little penguins/kororā, red-billed gulls/tarāpunga,

and many others are declining in number. Unfortunately, these are put at risk by

pet owners who let their dogs run free in places where there’s wildlife. Where

are the local dog walking areas?

Mangawhai: the Kaipara District Council dog bylaw document is available on

their website which shows all the on/off leash and prohibited areas.

Lang’s, Waipu, Bream Bay: the

Whangarei District Council website lists

on/off leash and prohibited areas including

the changes over the summer holiday

period.

Log on to the DOC website to continue

reading their blog for more details on dog

parenting this summer.

MANGAWHAI ART TRAIL 2023 FEATURES A

KAIWAKA HUB

The 2023 Mangawhai Art Trail takes place on the weekend of 25 and

26 February

. A special feature of this year’s Art Trail is a Kaiwaka hub.

The Mangawhai Art Trail covers 32 artists across 17 different venues. The trail

leads from Kaiwaka to Mangawhai, with two separate venues in Kaiwaka.

A collective of 8 artists have come together to create the Kaiwaka Art Studio and

will be exhibiting at a venue in the collection of shops at 1925 State Highway –

thanks to the generosity of the owner of La Nonna’s Bakery. Pictured below:

Mel Juer and the Kaiwaka Venue -

come and see us when it is full of art.

The eight artists who will be

exhibiting as the Kaiwaka Art

Studio are Danielle Adams, Deva

Prem, Edie Chappell, Jay Allen,

Lynley Bradnam, Mike Hooton,

Mel Juer and Peter Bradburn.

Peter Panyoczki will be exhibiting

just along the road at his studio in

Gibbons Road.

“We are thrilled to bring so many

talented artists together in one place!”

says Mel Juer, coordinator of the

Kaiwaka Art Studio. “We hope people

will start the Art Trail in Kaiwaka, enjoy a coffee

and pastry at La Nonna’s and then follow the trail

to Mangawhai!”

In Mangawhai there is a hub of artists based

around the Village and another group closer to the

Heads.

The Art Trail artists cover a diverse range of work

including ceramics, photography, painting in oils,

watercolour, acrylics and all forms of sculpture.

One of the more unusual exhibits is at Devich

Road where the work includes lead drippings,

modified

rusty

steel and sand

cement sculpture.

The

Stylish

Collective,

exhibiting at the

Stylish

Homes

show home on

the corner of

Molesworth

Drive and Estuary Drive in Mangawhai, returns

to show the work of six artists.

To find out more about the Mangawhai Art Trail

check

out

the

website:

www.mangawhaiartists.co.nz . The Art Trail is free. Information including list of

venues, artists and indicative maps is downloadable from the website. The Trail is

open from 10am to 4pm on Saturday 25 February and 10am to 3pm on Sunday 26

February.

the Beanstack app? The Summer

Reading Challenge is almost over, so

get on with it today if you've not been

doing it. There are loads of prizes to be

won.

TUTU COLLECTION

Have you

looked at

the range

"things"

in the new

Tutu

collection,

that you

can

borrow

for free? There are card games, board

games,

programmable

robots,

telescope, a knitting machine, a sewing

machine, a ukelele and more.

You can search the library catalogue at

Enterprise* or on the phone app for

them - type tutu into the search box to

yourself or ask us to do it for you. We

will let you know when it has arrived

BOOK REVIEW

Recently I've read

the Charlie Lager

series

Lina

Bengtsdotter, (1)

For the Missing,

(2) For the Dead,

and (3) For the

Lost. From For the

Missing:

"Nora's

daughter Annabelle

has

disappeared,

last seen on her

way home from a

party. Gullspång's

inexperienced

police are wilting

under the national

media spotlight -

and its residents

are desperate for

answers.

Stockholm

detective Charlie

Lager must return

home

find

Annabelle,

and

then get out of

town as soon as she

can.

Before

everyone discovers

the truth about

her..."

read

these

books in order, this

is one series where

that's important for

the flow of the story. These were a

good read; Scandinavian fiction rarely

disappoints. These books are located on

the Rental Fiction shelves in the library.

See you in the library ~Wendy

Open Wed-Sat 10am-2pm, Mon 4-6pm.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

to you all!

2023 by the economists

has been touted as another

year of high

uncertainty

and

high

volatility.

However, let us look at

this from a slightly

different and lighter perspective – 2023

is a Leap Year and The Chinese Zodiac

animal for this Lunar New Year is the

Rabbit (and a lucky black rabbit this

year). This longer lunar year has two

Spring seasons. With this and the

luckiness of the Black Rabbit (black

denoting water which is seen as a lucky

element), 2023 is all about Double

Happiness! I like this prediction better

than the economists.

Getting back to the uncertainty and

volatility, whether you are a home

buyer, seller, investor, business person

or just Joe Blogs, remember that all

times end, whether they are good times

or bad times. We are best to focus on

the long-term goals rather than be

depressed by perhaps what we are

currently experiencing or are being told

we are experiencing.

The property market very much works

on the long-term, with historically

doubling in value over a 7-10 year

period. So, whether prices have and are

continuing to adjust downwards, as a

property owner, if you look at the long-

term picture you can expect decent

capital gain. As a buyer in this market,

strike now to buy well. Don’t wait for

news that we are at the bottom of the

fall as you will only know this once the

prices are on the rise.

Look around at the options, there are

some great deals to be had!

Wishing you all the very best for 2023 –

Kaye, Stewart and the Ray White team

KELLY ANA MOREY

AWARD WINNER

A Kaiwaka local Kelly Ana, author and

poet, has been awarded the prestigious

2023 Grimshaw - Sargeson Fellowship.

This fellowship is a national literary

award offering published New Zealand

writers the opportunity to focus on their

craft full-time. It provides an annual

stipend of $20,000 and an eight-month

tenure at the Sargeson Centre in

Auckland, pictured below.

Novels by Kelly Ana Morey include

Bloom (2003, Penguin), Grace is Gone

She has also written a number of short

stories and poems and has served as an

oral historian at the Royal New Zealand

She plans to use her residency to work

her

sixth

novel,

Soft

which

looks

the

everyday lives of

five generations

of Māori women.

ATTITUDE OF

GRATITUDE

Having an attitude of gratitude can be

life-changing.

They

say

being

purposefully grateful daily increases

your dopamine levels in your brain and

creates the need for your brain to have

more… so in effect the more you are

grateful the more you’ll find things to

be grateful for! ~ Anon

“

It is not happiness that brings us

gratitude. It’s gratitude that brings us

happiness”.
