KAIWAKA FRIGHT NIGHT ~ TRICK and TREAT TIME at the KSA

Sophie and her small team of workers did a brilliant job with the setting up of the downstairs at the pavilion. The KSA

Chip shop had a great run on hotdogs and chips (thank you!) as there was large crowd of children and adults out enjoying

themselves in the dark and scary rooms!

Family owned & operated

FAREWELL AND WELCOME

A farewell evening was held for Jess and

Ant Pedersen and their children Ruby,

Harry and Archie at the Kaiwaka Sports

Assn. Folk showed their appreciation for

the contribution the Pedersen family had

made in the community and through

Kaiwaka Four Square.

In Ant’s words, “ After almost 3 years,

have been so much fun! We were lucky to

have the most amazing team to work

alongside and the most loyal and staunch

community, it has been an absolute

pleasure to have served you as we have. We’ve crammed a bit into those three

years; We were under no illusions of our responsibility to carry on the Jaques legacy and we hope we’ve done them

proud. Thanks to the community who have supported our store. We’re off to New World Onekawa in Napier - if you’re

ever in the area be sure to call in and say hello!” Pedersen family pictured top left.

Welcome Molly and Ben Steiner and their children Archi and Ossie, the new Kaiwaka Four Square Owner Operators,

who took over on Monday 16 October. The Steiners are from Taranaki. They were five and half years in their first store

at Four Square Kaponga, where they feel there was a similar vibe to Kaiwaka. They are looking forward to meeting the

local folk - so do go in and say hello. Pictured top right is Molly Steiner and her father, who was in store giving a hand

the day we called.

MOVIE HOLIDAY TILL 2024!

Movies will continue next year. Our last screening was 27 October 2023 and the

committee agreed to make it a special FREE ONE as a thanks for all the support,

and also to show people that it is a great set up/experience. So your support next

year will be again appreciated, and all funds go to the Kaiwaka Hall maintenance.

Dedicated Movie team is 2 at the moment - Beverly Chitty and Me (Ad Clarijs) and

we like more people putting their hand up for this please. ~ Ad Clarijs

KAIWAKA WAR MEMORIAL HALL AGM......from the

President’s Report

As always thanks to all the officers and committee members.

President: Ad Clarijs; Secretary: Amanda Maxwell, Treasurer & Booking officer:

Wendy Howard; Members: Tony & Lindsey Hargreaves, Heather Ferguson, Bev

Chitty, Millie O’Leary, Pam Ottaway, Jennie Reynolds. We are all volunteers.

These meetings are necessary to keep and look after this great Community asset.

Fundraising is always needed to maintain this hall - Building Warrant of Fitness

and monthly checks, fire alarm safety, insurance, rates, security monitoring,

telephone and power -it all adds up! Hiring out the “old” medical/ doctors’ rooms,

general hall hire and running the movies are the main fundraisers.

Thank you to Kaiwaka Can for putting up the “poppy” lights on the front façade -

remembering that the Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall was built in 1952.

We had a rough year with weather events which resulted in getting an expensive

roof repair done (still battling with our insurer). We also decided to replace all our

“old” heaters in hall and supper room with new ones after we had an alarming email

that one of them was catching fire!

Due to all these costs going through the roof, it was

decided that was time to increase the Hall Hire from 1

January 2024 last increase from memory was 13 years

ago!!

HALL HIRE (hall and supper room, access to all the

chairs and tables) $15.00 hour.

HALL HIRE & KITCHEN (includes a fully stocked

kitchen, plates, bowls, cutlery, fridge, 2 microwaves, 2

cooking /range/oven) $30.00 hour.

The Kaiwaka Library AGM was included in this

meeting - regular reports and updates are included in

the Bugle and on Facebook at Kaiwaka Library.

WEATHER

SEPTEMBER

Well

those

pesky

showery, rainy days

continued

through

September, but I think we got far more

sunshine hours than in other months.

Recordings at our place for September

were as follows:

Between the 3rd and 13th we got

145.5mm then we had 7 wonderfully

fine days with a bit of wind.

We were just getting used to the fine

weather, when along came another 5

days of wet and very windy days. The

total of rain in those 18 days was

204mm.

The least rainfall I recorded for the

month of September was in 2008 with

43.5mm.

The most rainfall recorded for

September was in 2015 with 207mm.

Derek Mason recorded 191.5mm for

the month of September in the Hakaru

Valley.

El Nino weather pattern is on its way

for New Zealand for summer 2023.

Most of our lawn has dried out enough

for us to get the ride-on on to it but

some of it is still too soft for the ride-

on or the push mower. I dare say it

won’t be long before some people start

grizzling about the dry weather.

Enjoy the sunshine people,

cheers Karen

COAST GUARD NORTH KAIPARA

Labour Day

Call Outs

A big thank to our North Kaipara Coast

Guard Wet Crew members who did 2 successful rescues on labour Day

The first was to collect a boat from the Bar. The boat was extremely lucky not to

have sunk when a wave threw them up, causing their engine to stop when it

went into the water. Luckily for them another boat managed to find them until

the CG crew took over the tow and got them safely back to the Hoteo River

Ramp at very low tide - pictured below.

As they were finishing that job they then got sent to rescue a father and his

daughter and their broken down JetSki from another part of the harbour. The

JetSki was towed to Tinopai Wharf and the driver delivered to his car and trailer

at Batley. The crew finally got back to base 6.5 hours after leaving Tinopai on

‘Tinopai Rescue’.

Coastguard New Zealand received over 5,000 radio calls over Labour Weekend

- logging in a Trip Report with our communications teams.

Boaties on the Kaipara Harbour are able to communicate freely and easily

with Coastguard North Kaipara via VHF Channels 07 and 61. You can also

contact Coastguard on your cell phone by dialling *500.

GARDENING for YOUNG & OLD

Went for a stroll the other day to see the Kaiwaka

Community Garden, opposite Small Pukeko’s Daycare –

very disappointing. Three years ago ‘Kaiwaka Can Do’,

Kaiwaka School pupils and an old chap had it looking

pristine – 3 raised beds with a wide variety of veges and

herbs plus two blueberry bushes.

Things to do this month:

Make sure plants are getting enough water as the westerly

winds are drying the soil after the showers.

It is time to plant tomatoes, capsicum, eggplant, corn

cucumbers and potatoes. Mound up the soil as potatoes

grow and spray with copper fungicide to prevent blight –

use the same spray for tomatoes.

Use a blend of fish and seaweed liquid fertiliser every 2 to 3

weeks to feed your vegetable plants.

Three basic plant nutrients – potassium (fruit development

and overall health), phosphorous (root development and

flowering) and nitrogen (essential for leafy growth).

MULCHING! Mulch to retain moisture, protect soil from

extremes of heat and cold, stifle weed growth and improve

soil texture. Mulch with straw, old leaves, compost, manure,

untreated sawdust or wood chips, pine bark and mushroom

compost at 10- 12 cm deep.

As it is close to Christmas here is a Christmas Cake recipe

from my Great Aunt Martha’s cookbook!

KING GEORGE I’s CHRISTMAS PUDDING

-As eaten by Him at 6 o’clock on December 25th, 1714.

-His ﬁrst Christmas in England.

1 lb. eggs (weighed in shells). 1 lb. brown breadcrumbs

1 lb dried plums (stoned &halved) 1 heaped teaspoon mixed spice.

KAIWAKA SPORTS ASSOCIATION

TOP of the ROCK!

Exciting news!

Kaiwaka Sports Association’s

annual multi-sport event,

the Top of the Rock, is back

it will be held on

Sunday 17th March 2024

St Patrick’s Day.



There are two running/walking

routes: a 5km and a 10km. The 5km

route goes around the two lakes near

Baldrock Rd. The 10km route goes

around those two lakes then traverses

private land not usually open to the

public, reaching a lofty spot on the

hills at the base of the Brynderwyns

with fantastic views to the ocean to the

east and through to the Kaipara

Harbour to the west.



There will be a Kids Fun Bike Ride

for children under 11 years, which is

free to enter. It’s a short, flat course

(going around the sports complex

grounds, school grounds and a

neighbour’s farm), and takes around 10

minutes, so it’s perfect for the young

ones. Children will need a bike, helmet

and shoes.



Prizegiving and entertainment will

be held at the Sports Complex

afterwards, with prizes for place-

getters and lots of great spot prizes.



Entries are not open yet – keep an

eye on our website or Facebook page

for more information. If businesses or

individuals

are

keen

offer

sponsorship, we would of course love

to hear from you. Anyone keen to help

out on the day is also welcome to

courts. Thank you for your efforts.

scenes at this great community facility

PRESIDENT’S SCHOLARSHIP

First of all, I would like to draw your

attention

our

President’s

Scholarship, worth $1,500. This is

open to any young person (not

necessarily at school) who is following,

or considering, taking some form of

tertiary education. Call 021 142 0357 if

you want an application form.

Applications close on the 7th

November.

BUNNINGS IN MANGAWHAI

Since our last report, we have

successfully

run

two

fundraisers outside Bunnings

in Mangawhai. We have

appreciated the support of the

staff there. On the 4th

November, we will be having

Ottaway’s donuts for sale as

well as the sausages. Any

surplus donuts will be taken

to the market at the Good

News church on the same day. This

will be the last fundraiser of this type

for the year.

KUMARAS

We were pleased to be able to give the

Ruawai Lions Club $3,000 from the

District Disaster fund. Five of their

members attended our normal meeting

and one of their number explained the

impact of weather events on kumara

growers in the Ruawai, Te Kopuru

area. I had understood that it was

Gabrielle that had caused the problem,

but issues started back in October 2022

when adverse weather conditions

meant that planting that was normally

completed prior to Christmas was not

completed until mid-January. Warwick

Simpson was their spokesperson and

he mentioned that instead of harvesting

in excess of 1,000 bins, he

harvested 120 bins. Half of the

harvest is kept for seed.

However, Warwick did say that he, and

others, are optimistic about the coming

season. The money we gave was used

to provide food vouchers for those

impacted most severely.

For some time now we have been

looking at ways of working more

closely with Lions in our area and the

seed was sown on this evening to look

at ways we can use combined efforts to

work more closely with youth in

our respective areas.

QUIZ NIGHT

We are planning on entering a

team in the upcoming quiz

fundraiser (25th November) at

the

Maungaturoto

Country

Club. This fundraiser is to assist

our Rotary Exchange student,

Jaime, who will be travelling to

Belgium next year. These nights are

always a great deal of fun, even for

those of us challenged by some of the

questions.

Please be mindful that we are going to

have our Senior Citizens’ afternoon

tea on 17th November at the

Maungaturoto

Centennial

Hall.

There is no cost to attend this, but we

do need an indication of numbers

ahead of time. Those of you who have

previously attended, will be aware of

the excellent performance that is put on

by Maura Flower’s singers. While we

are entertained, it also gives these

students a good chance to perform in

front of an audience. Please give your

name to any Rotarian if you would like

to be part of this afternoon.. ~ Eileen,

NATIONAL GARDENING WEEK

CONGRATULATION to our PRIZE

WINNERS

Our three winners were spot on with their

answers and also their hints. Thankyou to

all those who entered the Yates National Gardening

Week competition.

Christine Evans (right) who included her gardening

hint - ‘Make sure to harden off seedlings for 1-2 weeks

before transplanting them into the garden’.

Carolyn Dymock (below left) - ‘I check out the moon

calendar as that really seems to work and if the seeds

are

container I cover it in glad wrap to

keep the soil from drying out.’

Aliyah Connelly-Richards (left)- ‘Use

a clean hand held sprayer bottle of

water to dampen soil and water the

seedlings. This prevents overwatering

and helps to not disturb seeds while

germinating’.

Christine Rogers also had a good

gardening tip - Best seed raising tip:

Use a polystyrene cooler box

(sometimes butchers, fishmongers or

supermarkets give away for free) to

place your seed trays and little seed

pots in. Seeds come up in 2-3 days

instead of two weeks as it is so well

insulated!

CAN DO from KAIWAKA CAN

Before Covid Kaiwaka Can was making good progress in

getting things moving. Since then we have had almost 2

years of atrocious weather it has been hard to move forward. This is not to say

that we have not been working quietly in the background to keep things moving.

Over this period it has been a hard time for all Businesses, Farmers and Families

to name a few. It has been a time with a lot of negativity and stress.

Kaiwaka’s Wider Community has had a couple events over the past year (The

great 4 Square Christmas Party and the Lantern Festival) to try to help ease the

stress. There will be more to come. All these are great opportunities to shake off

the effects of the past couple of years and meet other people in the community.

At Kaiwaka Can we are looking to the future and can now confirm several

projects are now up and running.

PONTOON PROJECT

Firstly our Pontoon Project. We have just been granted the money required to

have the design work done. This pontoon will be situated in McClean Park 1947

(next to Motel) and we have again engaged Bridgeit to design the Pontoon to the

point where we can take it to the consent stage. The pontoon will accommodate

the launching of kayaks for people to enjoy the surrounding river systems of the

Kaipara.

SKATE PARK

Secondly, after the land was donated by John McClean for use by the

Community, we have also advanced to the concept stage of the skate park for

McClean Park 2022 (next to St John Hall) which is stage one of the

development to make this a family and community area for all to enjoy. With the

underpass to the walking bridges it links the other park and in the future a

walkway / pump track around the peninsula to Eutopia. This will also link up to

the KSA and the Kauri Walk.

We are also starting to organise the 2024 Lantern Festival which we hope will

be bigger and involve the whole Community.

If you are interested in any of these projects, come along to our meetings. These

are held on the 3rd Wednesday of the Month at the Archie Bull Hall behind the

Church, at 5.30pm.

All these activities are able to be viewed on our web site kaiwakacan.nz.

~ David, 021 889 370 Next meeting: Wednesday 15 November, 5,30pm

FILANI MACASSEY and

HISTORIC RESEARCH WW2

PILOTS

Filani Macassey (Fijian/ Tongan-Scottish) is a local artist

based in Kaiwaka who is being supported by the Arts

Foundation NZ 2023 crowd funding campaign.

The crowd funding will enable Filani Macassey to further

develop a project around her research into two WW2

pilots, one was her father’s younger brother and the other

pilot a Fijian chief’s son. Both young men enrolled in the

RNZAF and both died having earned their wings.

Ratu Dovi, pictured mid right, was head boy and Captain

of the rugby First XV and the cricket XI at Whanganui

College.

Filani’s Dad never spoke about his younger brother

Michael Earnest Macassey, pictured right, who actually

died practicing a loop manoeuvre. He was only 23 years

old. Filani said, “But the most amazing thing is that dad

started a small plane service in Fiji, which I think was also

his way to remember his brother by.”

“I started looking at this project a year ago, it will be

another year before it is ready to be exhibited. With the

crowd funding I will be working with the APS Editions

director, John Pusateri on a stone lithograph, which will

be printed on Fijian masi, a traditional hand beaten fibre.”

The artist says the lithograph series will incorporate an

ancient Pacific Island material with a printing process that

dates back to the late eighteenth-century Europe.

ARMISTICE DAY

Armistice Day has been observed every year since 1919 with a

two-minute silence. Held each year at the 11th hour of the 11th

day of the 11th month (November), the silence coincides with the

time in 1918 at which the First World War came to an end and is

observed at war memorials and in public places throughout the

UK and Commonwealth. After four terrible years, fighting in the

First World War finally ended with the signing of an armistice between

Germany and the Allies.

The First World War was finally over, leaving more than 16,000 New

Zealanders dead and tens of thousands more wounded – over 5300 soldiers died

in 1918 alone. Between October and December another 9000 people died during

the influenza pandemic.

DARGAVILLE BOOK SWAP

Some time before Christmas we'll be

changing the selection of titles we hold

from Dargaville Library. If you've been

meaning to take a good look at what's on

those shelves in our library now is your

time. The books don't need to be back with

us before the swap, you can hold on to

them until their due dates and/or extend

them if needed.

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY

Kaiwaka Library will be closing for two

weeks over the holiday period. Our last day

in 2023 will be Saturday 23 December, and

we will reopen on Monday 8 January 2024.

Some time in December, when the usual

borrowing period runs into the holidays,

due dates will be automatically extended to

8 January until the normal borrowing

period goes past that day. You don't need

to do anything, this will just happen in the

library management system as the items are

checked out or renewed.

TELEPHONE WORKING

We have phone service in the library once

again, with our usual number 09 4312 539.

Right now, as I type this report, there is no

call forwarding set up on it, though I'm

working on that so calls can be sent to my

mobile if there's no answer.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We are still in need of some more members

in our team. Can you spare one day a

month (or more) to work in the library? All

you need is to know is the basics of how to

use a Windows computer, and have access

to emails. Full training will be given. Send

kaiwaka.library@gmail.com to let me

know you're interested.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently,

I've

read

the

Fractured

Europe series by Dave

Hutchinson.

That's

(1) Europe in Autumn,

(2) Europe at Midnight,

(3) Europe in Winter,

and (4) Europe at Dawn.

Rudi is a cook in a Kraków

restaurant,  but  when  his
boss  asks  Rudi  to  help  a  cousin  escape  from
the  country  he’s  trapped  in,  a  new  career  –
part  spy,  part  people-smuggler  –  begins.
Following  multiple  economic  crises  and  a
devastating  flu  pandemic,  Europe  has
fractured into countless tiny nations, duchies,
polities  and  republics.  Recruited  by  the
shadowy  organisation  Les  Coureurs  des
Bois..."

I found this an enjoyable and engaging

read. None of the books are lengthy.

You do need to read them in order to

follow the story. The full series is on our

new shelves and are free to borrow. Place a

hold via Enterprise* or the phone app to

have them put aside for you to borrow.

See you in the library ~Wendy
