KAIWAKA: ANZAC 2023

Pictured above is the most outstanding and thoughtful

Anzac display by Mark and Pam Ottaway on their SH1

front lawn.

Thank you to the Kaiwaka Can lighting team for the new

Anzac poppy lights on the Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall.

Also showing the year the hall was built -1952.

LOST ANZAC KIWI TRADITION

The associations of rosemary with ANZAC day have an

added dimension, in the fact that rosemary grows wild

across the Gallipoli peninsula.

It is uncertain when the practice of wearing rosemary on

ANZAC Day first began, but it has become a regular feature of remembrance early after 1916.

But for a late arrival of poppies for Remembrance Day in early 1922, it would have been the symbol for ANZAC.

Some RSAs in NZ still place Rosemary on the service graves yet now the poppy has become the main symbol. ~ NZ

Remembrance Army

A FAMOUS HORSE REVERED ON ANZAC DAY

Each Anzac Day, there is a special gathering at the grave site in Parewanui, Bulls, to pay tribute to a horse that survived

World War I and returned to New Zealand from the Western Front - one of only four horses to do so at war’s end. Bess

was one of more than 10,000 horses that New Zealand sent overseas to serve in

World War I. A four-year-old thoroughbred at the start of the war in 1914, Bess

became the best known of horses with the New Zealand forces in the Middle East

and on the Western Front.

Bess belonged to Fred Deller, an accountant in Carterton. She was selected by Lt

Colonel Charles Guy Powles, father of former New Zealand diplomat and New

Zealand’s first Ombudsman, Sir Guy Powles, to be his horse for the duration of the

war. Powles and Bess served together in Egypt, the Sinai, Palestine and in France.

After returning from the war Charles Guy Powles became headmaster at Flock

House. Flock House became an agricultural school for sons whose fathers had died

in the war. Bess was brought to Charles Guy Powles at Flock House. She died

suddenly one day in 1934 while Powles was riding her, and he buried her where she

fell on the farm, aged 24. ~ The Memorial to Bess. Photo: HNZPT

WEATHER

MARCH

What an amazing Autumn we are

having so far.

I think we have lived with wet weather

so long that we are thoroughly

enjoying March which brought us

only 48mm over 7 days.

Derek Mason recorded 38mm in

Hakaru over 5 days. The highest

recording Derek has recorded for

March was in 2017 when they got

285mm over 13 days. That same year I

recorded 322mm over 11 days.

The highest recording I have for the

month of March was in 2007 with

362mm. 2013 and 2014 both had

29.5mm over 7 and 3 days

respectively, with 2014 having a

cyclone on the 15th and 16th that year.

The lowest recording I have for the

month of March was in 2005 when

we only got 13.5mm – that was over 5

days, so it basically dried up as soon as

it hit the ground.

Derek’s lowest recording in Hakaru

was 10mm in 2004 over 5 days – once

again not enough to do any good.

Our lawn has finally dried out properly

and I have been able to mow the

WHOLE lawn 3 times now yahoooo.

(In case you haven’t noticed, I like my

lawn to be tidy).

It is so nice to be able to drive over the

Brynderwyns again (even if it is only

for a few short weeks) and check on

the waterfall, which luckily didn’t get

damaged by the huge slips that were so

close to it.

Take care people, hope you didn’t eat

too many Easter eggs.

Cheers, Karen

WOMEN’S SECTION

MOTHER’S DAY

Whether you’re a Mum or Dad

organising something special for your

mother, or you want to give your

children some sneaky suggestions for

their own mum – here are some great

ideas to get you started:



Make a book of all the things you have

learnt from your Mum. They could be
serious lessons, or not so serious ...



Cut out heaps and heaps of heart

shapes from coloured card, and on each
one write something special that you
love about your Mum. Put them all into
a decorated box .



If it’s not possible to take Mum out to

the movies, rent her favourite movie on
DVD and make a batch of popcorn to eat
while you watch the movie together.



There’s nothing more special to a

mother  than  her  family.  Put  together  a
photo  album  of  your  whole  family,  and
have every person add their own special
message.  If  you  are  a  whiz  on  the
computer,  you  could  make  an  online
album to share.



Download all of Mums favourite songs

onto CD, and create a great album cover
telling her she’s the best Mum in the
world. Every time she listens to the CD,
she’ll think of you.



Pick a bunch of flowers from your

garden and attach a homemade card.



It really is the thought that counts,

and Mums know exactly how much a
thought means.

plastic disc or “Frisbee” into a standing metal

basket (which has loose hanging chains to help

catch the disc). Players throw from a

designated tee towards a target basket, and, as

in ball golf, try to do so in as few throws as

possible.

There are 4 baskets around the sides of No2

Kia Ora Under 13 parents and players. There has been some

confusion about how this season will run due to low

numbers in other clubs. We are having a meeting with the

sub union this week to finalise our plans. There are 2

potential options that are being discussed, either a small

local competition or joining the Whangarei competition.

Over the next couple of days, I will be ringing parents of all

registered players to discuss your preferred option. We have

a lot of awesome players who have been together for a few

years, and we want to continue to develop these players and

keep our club strong. Please bear with us while we get the

season under way.

WEEKLY MEETINGS

Our group continues to meet on a

weekly basis which not only offers

fellowship but also the chance to help

OHS Netball and DOE with their

fundraising, These two groups work in

rotation to provide our two course

meals. We have not had many guest

speakers recently but that has given us

all a chance to share some of the

activities we are involved with outside

Rotary. When we listen to each other,

we become aware of what a diverse

bunch we are.

TIMARU CONFERENCE

And Wilding Pines

Recently, President Les spoke of a

Farm Forestry Group conference he

attended in Timaru. He has belonged to

this group for about 30 years but does

not often get to their meetings. The

attendees took part in a number of day

trips. They visited Mt Cook station

where they learnt about the destruction

of wilding pines. The most effective

way to deal with these is to chop and

spray. He also visited Port Blakely

Forest near Geraldine which has

10,000 ha planted in pines.

INCOMING PRESIDENT

Our incoming President (this role only

lasts for a year from July) Babe spoke

of his work as a Maori Ward

representative of the Far North District

Council. Babe has a wealth of

knowledge coming from his previous

involvement

variety

organisations and we look forward to

his leadership. Apart from normal

duties associated with being a

Councillor, Babe Kapa is on

the steering committee for a

new

library

complex

Kaikohe. These facilities are now

known as Civic centres and as well as

offering a variety of digital options for

the borrowers both young and old, they

have a café emphasis as well as having

a museum on site.

THANK YOU, JOSIE

We hear that Josie has sold the Sitting

Duck. Thank you, Josie, for your

fantastic service to our organisation.

We have always had a fantastic meal

from you, often at short notice and we

wish you all the best in wherever the

future leads you. We also welcome the

incoming owner.

Another parting thought which one of

our Rotarians found on a trip north –
Advice from a Tree:
Stand tall and proud;
Go out on a limb;
Remember your roots;
Drink plenty of water;
Be  content  with  your  natural  beauty
and Enjoy the View.

us, or you think there is a possibility

we may be able to help you, please

OTAMATEA COMMUNITY SERVICES

VOLUNTEERS: We begin by sending out our grateful thanks to

all those in the community who donate their produce, baking,

knitting, money and time. We have such a great management and

staff, but we can’t forget the wonderful volunteers who gladly help

us go about fulfilling the services we provide.

Our free shopping trips to Whangarei twice a month are driven by

two ex-public transport operators, so we are confident that our passengers are in

good hands. There are usually empty seats, so we’d love to take more - so why

not leave the car at home and take a free trip to town. You can go to

supermarkets and shops etc. in other parts of town as required.

Then there is our monthly community lunch at the St John Hall in Hurndall

Street Maungaturoto.

We have a caterer who is helped by more volunteers who make the day go

smoothly. Our aim is to provide an opportunity to have a social outing and catch

up with friends or make new ones and to enjoy a tasty morning tea and lunch.

Our Food Bank is boosted by the beautiful produce from Grow Paparoa so that

those who are in need get the best of fresh vegetables to go with their emergency

food parcel. Thanks to the volunteers at Grow Paparoa.

Other organisations and individuals who regularly help at the Community House

are not forgotten; we appreciate and thank you sincerely for your time and

efforts. Some of those are our trusted Governance Board Chairman and

members, without whom we would not operate as we do. These very important

people give their time every month and it’s so good to know we can approach

them for their input and guidance.

MAY CALENDAR: Our regular monthly events as follows:

* Wednesday 3rd, Community Lunch, St John Hall 10am to 1pm

* Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 24th Free shopping trip to Whangarei.

Leaves Maungaturoto Retirement village at 9am, returns after lunch.

For more information phone us on 09 431 9080.

Best wishes from all at OCS

LOCAL SHEEP DOG TRIALS

The Molesworth Sheep Dog Trial

Club had its annual trial

last week

on Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd of

April. Held at the grounds in Oneriri

Road, the location is not only an

excellent course for competitors to run

their heading and huntaway dogs, but it

also has amazing views across the

Kaipara.

Sadly, the weather didn’t quite play the

game, with rain throughout the two

days, meaning gumboots and wet

weather gear really was essential,

especially when it got muddy!

The trial was a great success,

particularly with the number of heading

runs up from previous years, being the

last trial of the club season for the

Northland centre, there is often several

competitors working on the last chance

to qualify for an island or New Zealand

event. It was great to see many men,

women and their dogs travelling from

the Waikato region to compete, as well

as some great younger up and coming

competitors

stepping

and

performing with their dogs.

A couple of local competitors took out

wins at the trial, with Graham

Robertson (Whakapirau) top in the

short head with May and Scott McRae

(Te Arai) top in the straight hunt with

Chad. Well done to David Millar of the

Otamatea club, winning both maiden

heading events. Graham, Scott, and

David (along with many others) all had

to juggle their competitive runs

between working on the courses as

volunteers over the two days.

Patron Bob Sceats donated a prize for

the best young, up and coming

competitors in the heading and

huntaway events. Congratulations to his

grandson Fletcher Sceats with Crae,

winning that prize in the heads, while

Waikato based trialist Olivia Horsley and Duke were successful in the hunts,

well done.

Like any event, it cannot be a success without our wonderful volunteers, with

over thirty people helping through set up, running everything during the trials

and pack down, the club cannot thank you enough. Special thanks to Trevor and

the team at Oneriri Station for the use of their sheep for the trial, and to the

Paton family, and manager Michael for the use of the farm, where the trial

ground has been for the last 57 years.

It was fantastic to have a bunch of local sponsorship

, thank you all for your

generous support and coming along where you could

;

Tux, Bayleys, Poland Motors,

ORT (Blue), Rabobank, Fern Fuels, Alleva, Colthurst Livestock (Kelvin Colthurst),

Farmlands Wellsford, PGG Wrightson Wellsford, PGG Wrightson Livestock (Bernie

McGahan), The Vet Centre, Gallagher, Direct Animal Health (Warren Jones),

Hireworks Ltd Mangawhai, Datamars, FMG, Sceats Earthmovers Ltd, Simon Carter

Roofing and Marty Brown Weedspraying.

From here the season peaks with the island and New Zealand championships.

Scott McRae (club president) heads off to Lochinvar station in Taupo next week,

to judge the Straight Hunt event, at the North Island Championships. I’m

fortunate that I get to see it all first-hand, going along as his timekeeper. Well

done on being selected Scott, and all the very best to all the local dog trialist’s

that have qualified and will be competing down there. ~ Fiona

SCHOOL HOLIDAY

STORYWALK

Did you catch the Storywalk that was

set up around the circuit path at the

KSA during the holidays? Many thanks

to the staff at Dargaville Library for

creating it and setting it up for our local

community.

TUTU COLLECTION

It's great to see this new collection

being made use of by our members.

We've seen all sorts of items come

through - telescopes, a knitting

machine, card games, board games,

programmable robots... These items

are free for library members to borrow.

They don't live at our library, and

they're very popular, so you need to

place a hold to go into the queue, and it

will be delivered here for you to

borrow when your turn comes up. Go

to Enterprise* and type TUTU (doesn't

matter if you use capital letters or not)

into the "Search our catalogue" box

near the top of the window and then

click/touch the green SEARCH button

to get started. There are, of course,

books that also have that word in their

title, and if you want you can narrow

down the search by clicking on the

"Tutu Collection" link in the Shelf

Location list once you've done that first

search to just get the collection.

VOLUNTEER IN THE LIBRARY

We have some vacancies in our team

roster - would you like to join us one or

two days each month? You need

regular access to emails, and basic

Windows skills. Full training is given.

Send

kaiwaka.library@gmail.com - and let

me know.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently, I've

read EO-N by

Dave Mason.

2019: Alison

Wiley, a once-
idealistic
biotech CEO, is
processing her
new

reality:

she’s  the  last
bud  on  the  last
branch  of  her
family  tree.  On
the heels of her
mother’s  illness
and  crushing  death,  she's  pulled  into  a
seventy-four-year-old  mystery  by  a
chance discovery on a Norwegian glacier.
1945: RCAF Squadron Leader Jack Barton
flies  combat  missions  over  occupied
Europe.  Major  Günther  Graf,  a  war-
weary  and  disillusioned  Luftwaffe  pilot,
is  trapped  in  the  unspeakable  horrors  of
Nazi  Germany.  Their  paths,  so  different
yet  so  similar,  are  connected  by  a  young
victim  of  appalling  cruelty."

This was a

captivating read - I've not been reading

much lately but absorbed this book in

just two days. This book is on our

Rental Fiction shelves.

See you in the library ~Wendy

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

GARDENING

FOR THE

YOUNG & OLD

Here we are at the end of autumn;

hopefully winter will be mild for

gardeners and farmers and a frost or

two will kill a few bugs in the soil.

As May arrives the growth cycle of

most plants will be almost finished and

now, we must make arrangements for

winter. Some people treat May as a

slack period as they think the plants

have stopped working – they haven’t.

Roses do not stop working – they

produce sap to fill the hips and feed the

next generation of seeds. During

autumn the rose will be storing sugars

and starch in their lower branches and

roots ready for the first sign of spring.

July – don’t prune your roses too low!

Winter is an opportunity to turn over

soil in flowers beds when vacant and

apply lime dressings to sweeten the

soil PH; prepare planting sites for new

trees and shrubs; remember to add the

autumn leaves to the compost when

cleaning up.

Do you need new fruit trees? See our

local nursery people for advice.

Growing

winter

vegetables

–

broccoli,

spinach,

cauliflower,

cabbage, kale, lettuces (which are very

hardy plants), mesculin (great in

salads) and of course Asian vegetables

such as bok choy and Chinese

cabbage. Don’t forget silver beet.

Did you know figs were a prized

aphrodisiac for the early Greeks?

Fresh or dried they provide one of the

best natural sources of calcium and

iron as well as vitamins A and C. Try a

glass of tawny port with fresh figs –

sheer bliss!

Great gardening ~ Mr Jo.

To  make  a  garden  all  you  need  is  just  a
single  simple  seed.  A  patch  of  earth,  a
sheltered  spot  That's  not  too  cold,  but
not  too  hot,  A  little  rain,  a  lot  of  sun,
That's  all  you  need;  And  when  you're
done, In some strange way your seed will
know  Just  how  to  sprout  and  how  to
grow  Until  you  see  to  your  surprise  A
miracle before your eyes, A baby leaf still
curled  up  tight  That's  pushing  upward
toward the light What will it be? A tree?
A weed? Each one is started from a seed.
