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

ALEXANDER BRODIE SHAND WWII 40174

Born 6/3/1920. War Veteran.

Early in 1941 Alex signed up with the 22nd

Battalion in Wellington. After initial

training at Trentham Camp, he embarked

for North Africa in March 1941

immediately after his 21st birthday.

Alex was captured twice in Africa, firstly at

Matruh where he came face to face with

Field Marshall Rommel who pulled up in a

tank and instructed his soldiers to make sure

the Kiwis had water and food, which didn’t

happen! On this occasion he was freed

shortly after by the advancing South

Africans.

Late in July 1942 Alex was recaptured at

Ruweisat Ridge and was shipped to a camp

in Northern Italy.

In October 1943 the Italians surrendered

and Alex spent several months with the Partisans moving

around Northern Italy.

Eventually he was “shopped” to the Germans and sent to

Stalag 1VB near Dresden. On arrival at the camp, which

held 20,000 prisoners, he was greeted at the gate by a

fellow Kiwi who asked his name. Shand, the fellow said,

‘I think there is already a Shand here” and was told which

hut to look for.

Sure enough, there he found his older brother John who

had bailed out of a Lancaster some months before! Alex

exchanged

identities

with a Canadian Flight

Sergeant Grant in John’s hut and the

brothers remained together until they were

released by the Russian forces just prior to

the war’s end.

Alex Shand is currently living at Rangiora

Road with his daughter Pip McDowall and

husband Graeme.

Alex turned 103 in March this year and is

enjoying the Oneriri community. When

ANZAC Day comes, he will be sitting and

remembering an ‘extraordinary wartime

experience’.

The Hakaru and Districts Memorial RSA will be

holding an ANZAC Commemoration on Tuesday

25th April - details on page 5.

EASTER

Easter! It’s the central

celebration of the Christian

Church

and

much

misunderstood because it

deals with a strange concept -

resurrection. Who knows

where bunnies and chocolate

came from, but hey, we enjoy them too!

Resurrection (the physical coming to life

again of someone who had been dead) is

what the scriptures claim happened to Jesus

three days after he was killed on a wooden

cross by Roman soldiers.

In spite of many written accounts of people

who witnessed Jesus alive after he was

killed, we struggle with the idea. Dead

people normally stay dead!

However, for the church through the ages,

the resurrection of Jesus remains central.

For me it was never a problem as once I

accepted the existence of God, I knew all

kinds of miraculous events were likely to

be associated with him.

Boxers talk about telescoping a punch, that

slight movement of the shoulder in such a

manner that their opponent reads it before it

happens.

Likewise, the resurrection points towards

the future renewal of creation, the final

defeat of death, in fact the resurrection of

all humans at some future stage when

Christ returns to wrap things up in a

glorious unification of heaven and earth. In

short, the

resurrection

signals the

inauguration of the Kingdom of God, which

was Jesus’ central message.

Resurrection reverses the natural order. It

turns despair into hope, sorrow into joy.

That is what Easter means to Christians.

None of this happens without Jesus. He is

central to it all because this ‘new creation’

was God’s plan for us all along!

This message of hope speaks to us all.

When we are going through tough times,

it’s worth remembering that there is light at

the end of the tunnel. A ‘happy Easter’ is

really a hopeful, even a joyful Easter!

~ Rev. Jonathan Gale, Archdeacon and temporary

Priest-in-Charge of the Mangawhai & Paparoa

Mission Districts.

WEATHER

FEBRUARY

I trust WELL!!!!!! Just when we

thought the North Island couldn’t take

any more rain, along came February

and an uninvited visitor by the name of

Gabrielle.

The month started off with 62mm on

the first day, then 10 days later after

41mm over 8 days, we got another

58mm, then 61mm, then 150mm plus

other smaller amounts between these

days of heavy rain. 7 days later along

came

the

weather

bomb

thunderstorm which delivered another

246mm, then 2 days later another

71mm of rain which fell in 1 and a

quarter hours. By this time our feet

were needing to be webbed to be able to

walk on our lawn.

The total at our place for February

was a whopping 702mm – I know

crazy numbers for a Summer month.

On a good note we did get 10 days of

sun with no rain at all.

The 702mm fell over 18 days. I’m

contemplating buying some rice plants

for the bottom lawn lol. On the 24th

(the day of the weather bomb) I was in

Whangarei and got a message from a

friend, saying there had been 90mm of

rain in an incredibly short time. A few

minutes later she facetimed me to say it

was 120mm and counting. Meantime in

Whangarei, we had beautiful sunshine

and not a sign of rain anywhere. As we

were coming home however, we could

see the forked lightning and even heard

the thunder over the vehicle engine and

road noise. Road damage resulting from

that rain was huge and still being fixed.

Derek Mason in the Hakaru Valley had

a total of 601.5mm over 15 days. A

difference of 100mm in such a short

distance.

The driest February I have recorded

was in 2020 with a total of 7.5mm. The

previous highest rainfall for February

was in 2004 with a total of 293mm.

So far for March we are up to 6 days of

fine weather. Fingers crossed for a few

more. My heart goes out to the poor

folks living in the Hawks Bay. Take

care folks.

Until next month! Cheers, Karen

ST PAUL’S,

KAIWAKA

MANY THANKS to Tulip Hire for

their generous digger work fixing the

drainage problems around the St Paul’s

car park recently. With the recent

floods, water was flowing

under the church, but this

has

thankfully

been

remedied. The car park is

used by many people,

including Archie Bull hall

hirers and, most days, by

parents and school children.

HUGE THANKS also to

Marc Olsen for his years of

regular

mowing

and

trimming around the Church

and car park, especially

important for large events

such as weddings and

funerals. We are very

grateful for Marc’s ongoing

community service.

“DO YOU KNOW

ABOUT

OSTOMATES?”

An Ostomy Society is

a non-profit

organisation which aims to assist in the

rehabilitation of people who have

undergone bowel or bladder surgery

resulting in a colostomy, ileostomy or

urostomy. These people have adopted

the name of being an “Ostomate”.

It is also the first link with a group of

people who have banded together to

help one another and not to be alone,

that their experiences are not unique

and there are answers to their questions

and problems.

You may like to think about being a

member of your nearest “Ostomy

Group”, and you will meet other people

who have lived with similar problems.

At the meetings we may be able to help

solve problems you may have.

Ostomy Group members are not

medical people, although we each

know a fair bit about this type of

surgery after a while.

Northland Ostomy Society is part of

the Federation of New Zealand Ostomy

Societies Inc. with affiliation to the

International Ostomy Association.

‘A SCRAP OF PAPER

JUST a little scrap of paper

In a yellow envelope,

And the whole world is a ruin,

Even Hope.’

“Geoffrey

Studdert-Kennedy

was born in 1893

in Yorkshire. He

moved

from

being vicar at St

Paul’s Worcester,

to being a WWI

army chaplain. He was well loved,

particularly by those of the lower ranks

and was legendary for handing out

cigarettes - hence the name Woodbine

Willie - Woodbines, being the common

man’s cigarette. He was no ‘other-

worldly’ padre. He often ran into no

man’s land, under fire to help the

wounded and was awarded the Military

ross for gallantry. He died in 1929,

aged 46…

… these pages are a vivid record of war

and the emotions it produced in front-

line soldiers… In “A Scrap of Paper” in

just four lines, he sums up for all time

what it is to be told of the loss of a

son…” from the back cover of ‘The

Unutterable

Beauty’

poems

Woodbine Willie.

Peter Linnell shares these poems by GA

Studdert-Kennedy with Easter and

Anzac in mind:

THE SPIRIT

When there ain't no gal to kiss you,

And the postman seems to miss you,

And the fags have skipped an issue,

Carry on.

When ye've got an empty belly,

And the bulley's rotten smelly,

And you're shivering like a jelly,

Carry on.

When the Boche has done your chum in,

And the sergeant's done the rum in,

And there ain't no rations comin',

Carry on.

When the world is red and reeking,

And the shrapnel shells are shrieking,

And your blood is slowly leaking,

Carry on.

When the broken battered trenches,

Are like the bloody butchers' benches,

And the air is thick with stenches,

Carry on.

Carry on,

Though your pals are pale and wan,

And the hope of life is gone,

Carry on.

For to do more than you can,

Is to be a British man,

Not a rotten 'also ran,'

Carry on..

WHAT'S THE USE OF A CROSS TO 'IM?

PARSON says I'm to make 'im a cross

To set up over 'is grave,

'E's buried there by the Moated Grange,

And I 'ad a damn close shave,

But 'e were taken and I were left,

And why, it's a job to see,

For 'e 'ad a wife and some bonnie kids,

And me--well, there's only me.

And what's the use of a cross to 'im?

'E weren't a religious man,

'E said no prayers and 'e sang no 'ymns--

I'll make this do if I can.

It's all full o' notches--an awkward piece,

But I'll see what a knife'll do.

I allus were one to respec' the dead,

And 'e were a good pal too.

'E weren't a religious man, not 'im,

Far as that goes--nor am I.

I wonder what odds religion makes

When a feller comes to die.

It's a curious thing is death, ye know.

When we was back there at rest,

'E were singin' 'is song--and takin' 'is glass,

And 'avin' 'is fun wiv the best.

'E weren't no boozer though, mind ye that,

'E were sound uv 'is wind and limb,

'E were 'ard as a nail--a fighting lad,

A daisy to scrap were Jim.

But 'e'll fight no more--'e's gorn aht West

Wiv a great big 'ole in 'is back,

'E's pushin' up daisies by Moated Grange--

Now where did I put that tack?

IT'S HARD TO BE A CARPENTER

I wonder what He charged for chairs at

Nazareth?

And did they try to beat Him down,

And boast about it in the town?

"I got it cheap, for half a crown,

From that mad carpenter!"

And did they promise and not pay?

Put it off to another day?

Oh, did they break His heart that way,

My Lord the Carpenter?

I wonder did He have bad debts?

And did He know my fears and frets?

The Gospel writer here forgets

To tell about the Carpenter.

But that's just what I want to know,

Oh Christ in Glory, here below,

Men cheat and lie to one another so.

It's hard to be a carpenter.

LOCAL DOG

TRIALISTS PERFORM

AT NORTHLAND

CENTRE

CHAMPIONSHIPS

With the sheep dog trial season in full

swing, it’s been great to see some of

our locals achieving notable results

around the region in the last few weeks.

The 10th – 12th March was the main

event for Northland, at the Mangonui

Club Trial, this year the host of the

Northland Centre Championships. Over

the four club events, the top five

competitors go into a final run off for

the centre championship, their points

from both runs are combined and

winners crowned.

This year, our two local club presidents

took out top honours on the hunt

courses. Tony Comins (president of the

Otamatea Sheep Dog Trial club) and BJ

with the win in the straight hunt, with

Scott McRae (Molesworth Sheep Dog

Trial club president) with Chad taking

out the zigzag hunt. In the heading

events,

Murray

Child

(Maungakaramea) had an outstanding

result with the double, with Bruce and

Nell in the long and short head

respectively. Kaiwaka local and

Otamatea club member, Peter Walker

with heading dog Deb (in just her first

competition season), was fifth in the

long head. Scott (McRae) featured

strongly in the heading results with

George, winning the long head in the

club trial, then finishing with a fourth in

the long head, and second in the short

head.

Congratulations to Tony, Scott and

Peter, great results!

*Come along to the club trials;

MAUNGATUROTO &DISTRICTS ROTARY

CONGRATULATIONS

First

all,

congratulations on

Mangawhai

Rotary becoming

an official club in

their own right.

Six of us, as the

sponsoring club,

were able to join

them on the 28

February.

The

leaders in our

District endeavour

to support all Clubs and they showed up

in force for this auspicious occasion.

Apart from the chartering of the Club,

which has 22 members, the two

instigators received Paul Harris Fellow

Awards

(An

award

given

for

exceptional

commitment

community). Dennis Emsley has

effectively been the leader of the Club

initiative and Grahame Carbery (the

Commodore) has been the leader in the

sailing initiative which now has 9 boats

and several families have decided that

sailing is a good option for them.

PARK REPAIR

By the time you read this we will have

completed a working bee on Nikau

Grove, in Whaka street, Maungaturoto.

The tracks in this little haven have

suffered from the heavy rain so we will

be working on the worst affected areas

by laying limestone. When that has had

a chance to settle, we will look at

putting more metal on the track. Broken

branches and weeds will be removed at

the same time. It has been noted that

some cyclists are using the area, which

is fine, but we would appreciate them

keeping on the track as there is a large

amount of damage done to regrowth

when people deviate from the path.

DRIVER MENTORING

We have had good news this

month with two people being

willing to put their hands up for

Driver Mentoring. This will mean that

we can process more students as well as

lighten the workload for all. We have

also learnt over the past month that

Dargaville is taking Restricted licence

bookings, but these tests will only

conducted on a Monday.

STUDENT EXCHANGES

The ongoing effect of student

exchanges was made evident to me

during the week. 45 years ago, a student

from Tumut in Australia, spent a term

with a local family, the Needhams and

in the following term, their daughter

went to Tumut. This relationship has

continued through the years and a week

or so ago this woman visited her twin

and the pair of them came to

Maungaturoto. What she enjoyed most

was visiting places that had been

familiar to her then, and catching up

with her NZ “parents”, Margaret and

Ross. Then, as now, she could not get

over how green the area was because

her community if very barren. Most of

the Rotary exchanges went on hold due

to Covid. However, we are back in

having reciprocal visits, but these tend

to be for a year now.

QUOTE

We have a parting thought at the

conclusion of each meeting. This week

it was a Jimi Hendrix quote

: “When

the power of love overcomes the

love of power, the world will know

peace.”

Remember, if you would like to join us,

or you think there is a possibility we

may be able to help you, please don’t

hesitate to get in touch – Eileen

KAIWAKA LIBRARY GARDENING

for the YOUNG

& OLD

The months do fly by!

We are well into Autumn, however the

temperature – both the soil and air are

warm.

Keep dead heading your roses to get

more beautiful blooms right through

until mid-May.

What needs to be done this month?

Dahlias need to be lifted for storage or

add mulch if to be left in the ground.

Some flowers that can be planted now

are:

calendulas,

forget-me-nots,

wallflowers,

pansies,

polyanthus,

primulas.

And don’t forget the spring bulbs. It is

time to plant daffodils, freesias and

tulips.

Iceland poppies planted now will give a

wonderful display in late winter and

spring.

Many herbs can be sown now. Last

month’s column mentioned to sow

parsley for fresh winter/spring leaves.

This month sow the seeds of sage,

thyme, chives, oregano and marjoram.

Make sure you harvest basil before the

cold weather sets in. Basil can be

frozen – blanche it for 30seconds first

or dry it and store.

More vegetable seedlings to plant:

beetroot, brussel sprouts, silver beet,

spinach and spring onions. I have left

out swedes and turnips - you could

grow them for your cattle if you want*!

Feijoas are now ready. Rake up under

the bushes and lay straw or old hay so

the fruit has a soft landing when it falls.

Fruit trees can benefit from a copper

spray now, plus a dressing of general

fertiliser.

A handy hint from Bill Ward’s “Edible

Garden” – never use dry fertilisers on

trees grown in containers. The feeding

roots are near the surface and will burn.

Finally, did you know Cleopatra bathed

in rosewater, slept on a bed of lavender

and dined on nasturtiums!

Until April, great gardening. ~ Mr Jo

KAIWAKA SCHOOL

NEWS

‘Thank you, parents, for your support to run the Senior over-night Noho Marae

this year. It is the first Senior Noho we have had since the COVID lockdowns.

This is a really exciting event which will involve lots of learning of tikanga in the

beautiful setting of Otamatea marae.

Congratulations to Katherine Brown who is now the ‘Across School Teacher’ for

our Coast-to-Coast Community of Learning Ka Hui Ako. This position means

that Katherine will be working with all the schools involved in our Ka Hui Ako -

Mangawhai Beach School, Tomarata School, Maungaturoto School, Paparoa

School and Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngāringaomatariki. She

will be off site two days a week and Karima Bencheikh, who

has taught at our school in the past, will be in Ruma Kawakawa

for those two days.

Please make sure all of the school gates are kept shut during

school time. We have a few students who are at risk if the gates

are left open. ~ Sharlene McCormick (Principal)

A reminder to please drop pupils down by the school pool /

KSA in the mornings. We need the carpark for the buses and

for our children with accessibility needs.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently,

I've

read ‘Everything

Changes’

Stephanie

Johnson. "Buying

a rundown motel

to start a new life

- what could

possibly

wrong?" It's set

largely in the

Brynderwyn hills

north

Kaiwaka, at a

fictitious motel,

so some of the landscape is familiar. It's

a good read about people trying to get

their lives into "order", and its not

going to plan. This book is on the

Rental Fiction shelves.

See you in the library ~Wendy

WEATHERING THE

REAL ESTATE

STORM

Kaye McElwain from Ray

White Mangawhai has lived in

the area for 18 years and has

worked in real estate for more

than two decades as an agent

and business owner.

Today she explains why Kaipara

is weathering the real estate

storm.

If you’re tuned into the media at the

moment, it’s easy to get sucked into the

real estate doom and gloom report. In

reality, our patch of paradise in

Kaipara is punching above its weight

and bucking the trend of plummeting

prices. The latest stats from

realestate.co.nz show the median

house price in Kaiwaka has increased

by 18.5% compared to a year ago.

We can contribute some of this rise

with what’s happening in our

surrounding areas - particularly the

activity in neighbouring Mangawhai

being one of the key factors.

Mangawhai Central, being the

largest coastal development in NZ,

bodes well for continued migration

north into the area. The flow-on effect

of Mangawhai Central is one factor

balancing the national property market

slowdown, with demand for rentals and

homes to own in the area, including

Kaiwaka. Recent additions of a New

World supermarket and Bunnings

hardware store reflect the popularity

growth in this coastal holiday spot.

Once synonymous with surf breaks, the

area is now becoming known for golf,

locally and on the national and

international stage. The completion of

Tara Iti private members golf course

and Te Arai Links public golf course,

and the construction of a third

coastal

golf

course

the

Mangawhai, Kaipara boundary at Te

Arai has had many positives for

Mangawhai and Kaiwaka. These

entities are now the largest employer

for the area with golfing, hospitality,

accommodation,

and

construction

employees

and

contractors.

The

ramifications are demand from people

new to the area for rental properties and

homes to own.

The above factors have contributed

towards Kaipara weathering better

than some other regions, the current

downward pressure on sale prices. It’s

business as usual with buyer demand

steady, albeit less than the heady Covid

time. Current market conditions are

favourable for buyers with a greater

choice of property listings. For sellers,

the increase in sale prices over the past

10 years ensures that there is still sound

capital growth to be realized in a sale.

Recent sales in Kaiwaka very much

reflect this.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if I can

help you with your real estate needs.

Best wishes Kaye 027 215 2016.

Paparoa Pride 2023

1st April from 3pm

We are excited to be announcing that

the Paparoa Pride event for 2023 will

be taking place from 3pm at the

Paparoa Hall on the 1st April.

The event will be a wonderful occasion

to celebrate the diversity of our region.

We will have entertainment both

outside and inside the hall, food trucks,

circus acts, musicians, choirs and we

welcome whānau across the Kaipara.

Everyone is welcome. Nau mai, haere

mai.

Please note that the meeting is at the

Hall (there is no Pride Parade this year)

from 3pm. There will be parking in the

adjacent ground to the hall.

Calling all Volunteers, Entertainers and

anyone creative!

We are looking for motivated people,

with creative ideas to share. We

specifically need volunteers to help out

on the day with decorating the hall,

which will start at 9am. The theme of

the hall inside decoration will be Big

Gay Out, and we will treat the hall like

an inside picnic venue with a schedule

of entertainment starting at 3pm.

If you are interested in joining in as an

entertainer on the day or helping with

set up - or have any other great ideas,

please
