ONOKE: Recently a black and

white striped worm was found in

a rotten Totora, just above

Onoke Pt. - see arrow on 1930

Otamatea Survey map.

Noke is the Māori name for

earthworms, and some sources

say onoke means "the place of the worms".

KAIWAKA FOLK

We were saddened to hear of the

passing of two of our older

Kaiwaka residents:

Elizabeth Preston: Elizabeth was

the very long time ‘keeper’ of

McClean Park and while living in

Kaiwaka was checking and

clearing the rubbish nearly every

day for more than ten years. Photo

right with her trusty weed eater was

taken when she was eighty- long

before she retired. She also knew

the ‘ratbags’ and got very upset

when they stole the flowers she

planted – “to give the place a bit of

colour!” .She was 87.

Alwyn Judd: Alwyn visited

Kaiwaka Primary School in 2021

and spoke of his time at the school.

Alwyn’s first paid job was at

school - emptying the ‘dunny cans’

with Owen Bowmar down under

the wattle trees - they were paid 6d

a week. Alwyn’s family, the Judds

and Stewarts go back to Kaiwaka’s

first settlers. Alwyn was 93.

Have you been to our local sheep and cattle sales? The Wellsford Saleyards are a great

place to take the family for an education and, of course, buy and sell your stock. The cattle

sales are every Monday and the sheep are sold every Tuesday - beginning at 11am at 41

Centennial Park Road, Wellsford. For many years our Kaiwaka Plunket members

volunteered in the

sale yards cafeteria

as a fundraiser. Sadly

this closed at covid.

KAIWAKA

WEATHER

AUGUST

What a difference a couple of weeks of

relatively dry weather can make.

The land is starting to dry out, but the

grass isn’t growing as fast as the poor

farmers would like it to. The animals

seem less stressed because they aren’t

up to their knees in mud. Nature is

sorting out partners for the coming

season and we have had 3 or 4 lots of

ducklings already.

The predictions I have heard so far

from NIWA are that we should get a

fairly dry summer this year.

At our place we had 66mm of rain for

the month of August 2023 over 16

days. My hubby was right, one half of

August wetter than the other.

The month was shaping up to be quite

dry until we got 22mm on the 20th,

mind you this was 100mm less than

August 2022 thank goodness.

The highest recording I have had for

August was in 2010 with 227mm and

the least was recorded in 2011 with

just 34.5mm.

Derek from in the Hakaru Valley had

83mm for the month of August over 16

days.

The

maximum

daytime

temperature that Derek recorded in

August was on the 21st which was 13

degrees. ~ Cheers, Karen

Many thanks to Trish our vice

president for taking the August

meeting.

Some of our members were able

to join Waipu Womens Section in a

dinner incorporating a "Fancy Hat"

competition, Jan Mann was thrilled

when she won the raffle.

Next meeting: Thursday 28th

September at 1.15pm in the Hakaru

RSA clubrooms on Settlement Road.

You are all welcome to come and try

your hand at Housie. ~ Cheers, Ann

CLUB

The Walking Track is

fully open again now

that

lambing

has

finished.

The walkway is approximately 4 km

long and meanders through the Country

Club farm providing a pleasant rural

walk away from traffic.

The track is undulating giving you a

good workout but is suitable for most

fitness levels.

Walkers have the option of doing the

complete circuit or halving it and doing

one of the two loop sections. Please

leave all gates as you find them.

There is a map of the walkway on our

website and at the Club.

Dogs are welcome but MUST be on a

FLYING OFFICER BRIAN DE

LABROSSE LINNELL 412340

RNZAF RAF

Brian de Labrosse Linnell was born on 10 June 1906, in

New Zealand. His father, George Frederick Linnell, 35 and

his mother, Augusta

Caroline

LaBrosse, 32, were

long time residents of

Kaiwaka.

Brian farmed sheep

and beef on the

Oneriri Peninsula.

Peter, his son, writes

‘I am keen to tell of

my father’s wartime

experiences as in his

lifetime he seemed

reticent

them.

His younger brother

only in his twenties

died in his sleep after a game of rugby in 1939. In 1918

whilst in camp training for WWI his Uncle Dick had died of

disease, so death can’t have been far from foreign in his

mind.

Brian wanted to join the air force but was too old, but by

‘losing’ his birth certificate he conveniently lowered his age

by seven years to 27! And

with a reference from a former

prime minister and current

MP he made his initial

application on 10th November

1939.

There was a problem in that

Dad had only had about 18

months

secondary

schooling and thus his maths

was not up to par. To remedy

this lack required he got

correspondence lessons which

he did.’ To be continued.

PT.CURTIS CRUISING CLUB

It is that time of year again with the Super Club

Fishing Competition which will be hosted by

Tuesday

September,

held our regular

meeting where we

noted the progress

for the past month

and

the

way

forward for the

ensuing one.

BUNNINGS SAUSAGE SIZZLE

We had a very successful sausage

sizzle at Bunnings, where we also

sold donuts. We were able to use

our community connections and

sell the extra donuts later in the day

at the monthly market held in

Maungaturoto. We are planning to

have two more stalls at Bunnings

on the 7th and 21st October, so

please come and speak with us if

you want to know more about what we

do.

WALKWAY UPGRADE

We are still planning to help the

Maungaturoto Country Club with the

upgrade

their

walkway

conjunction with the Maungaturoto

Residents’ Assn. This cannot progress

until lambing has concluded. As an

affiliated member of the Country Club,

we will be looking for other

opportunities where we can help.

FIJI CHILDRENS’ HOSPITAL

Recently we had a talk from

Robin

and Ortrud James

who were

speaking about the Childrens’ Hospital

in Fiji that they have been involved

with. At the moment there is

accommodation for 27 youngsters who

have congenital heart defects. Their

operations are performed by teams of

volunteer surgeons who come from

various parts of the world, staying for 7

or 8 days. There is no cost for the

treatment and the rooms have been set

up so that a caregiver can stay with the

child. It was interesting to hear how the

Pacific Islands are supported in this

way.

DUFFY BOOKS VALUE ADDED

For a number of years we have

sponsored Duffy books in Tinopai (and

this year we co-sponsored the

programme at Kaiwaka.) We are asked

to send a representative of the club to

the school when these books are

presented to the students.

The following is what happened this

year. Talk about “value added” - Merv,

Bron and foster grandchild represented

Maungaturoto Rotary club at the Duffy

Books in Schools presentation at

Tinopai in the middle of September.

Diana Queenin, the Presenter, had an

incredible knowledge of, and had

samples of a wide range of fossils

(Horseshoe Crab pictured below) that

kept all present spellbound. Who would

have thought that a lady who had,

among other things, spent 4 years as a

Guide at the American Museum of

Natural History, could be found

presenting to 13 children at Tinopai

Primary. As a result of this programme,

each child gets two books of their own

choice to take home.

~ Eileen 0211420357

PIONEERS OF NEW ZEALAND MUSIC

Herbs announce the reissue of their ground-breaking

back catalogue on 180gm coloured vinyl.

Recently Drummer and vocalist Gordon Joll* and Tama Lundon

were on the AM Show with hosts Ryan Bridge and Laura Tupou.

Tama said their reggae has always been a bit political, but it was

important newer ears listened to the band's sentiments - they need to pay attention

to the lyrics, keeping the country clean and green.

Gordon noted that the songs are enduring; three generations have enjoyed these

now. He added that Reggae has always been a protest genre of music. Bob

Marley wrote songs of hope and happiness.

The band was inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame in 2012.

GARDENING for the YOUNG & OLD

Spring is here and after a cold

August the soil is warming up.

It is time to plant another batch of

brassica plants along with salad greens

and your favourite tomato varieties.

Be aware that the slugs and snails will

be lying in wait! I use ‘Blitzem’ or the

safe for pets’ slug bait. If you don’t like

chemicals try these effective organic

methods:

1.Snap off the lower

leaves of your older

brassica plants and

place around you

new seedlings - the

slugs and snails will

happily munch on

the

broken

off

leaves;

the

morning deal to the

snoozing pests as

they will be under

the broken leaves.

2.Beer traps are

very effective. Place shallow jar lids

flush with soil level, fill with cheap

beer. Snails and slugs flock to the beer

and drown while drinking! Empty the

lids every day or two.

3.Broken eggshells scattered on the

vege patch are a deterrent to slugs and

snails - they don’t like crawling over

the sharp edges.

4.Natural predators - birds and

hedgehogs love to eat the brassica

pests.

There is something very relaxing and

satisfying

about

strolling

around the garden and picking

edible flowers, berries and

vegetables.

With

the

vegetables I am talking about the ones

that taste good raw!

A strawberry patch is a must - they are

easy to grow; they love a straw mulch

and an acid soil type - throw some pine

needles or finely chopped

pine bark around them.

Edible flowers include

pansies, pumpkin flowers,

nasturtiums, and don’t

forget dandelion leaves,

puha (sour thistle) and

watercress - all great in

salads (watercress and

puha add much to a ‘boil-

up’).

Finally HERBS. The

herbs you grow for soups

and stews will depend on

your own taste, but some

essential ones to include would be basil,

chives, coriander, parsley, dill oregano,

rosemary, thyme and sage. Grow them

in pots close to the door or in among

the vegetables in the garden. Grow mint

in a big pot or else it could run amok in

your garden!

All the afore mentioned herbs have

medicinal uses and have been used to

help cure aliments for thousands of

years. Research will surprise you on

what you may find. Until next month -

good weeding and gardening.~ Mr Jo

They also have a port so you can plug

in earphones for private/quiet listening.

There are more Vox books throughout

the district, and we will swap the titles

FAREWELL AND THANKS

Margarita has left the library team to

take up another position with another

community organisation in the district.

She's been with us for just over two

working with her and making friends in

that time. Thank you for all your efforts

in the library, Margarita, they're much

appreciated.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently, I've read Did I Ever Tell You

This? by Sam Neill. It's a delightful

journey through his life and long acting

career. If you've ever heard him in an

interview, he writes just the way he

speaks - friendly and affable. The book

is on our 'new' non-fiction shelves at the

moment and is also available as an

eBook or eAudiobook - search

Enterprise* to see your options. We

have some of his movies on our

shelves, too.

See you in the library! ~Wendy
