BRENDA MEETS THE PRINCE

Brenda Fergu-

son

received

her Gold Duke

of Edinburgh

award at a spe-

cial ceremony

to celebrate the

60th year of the

Duke of Edin-

burgh's Hillary

Award in Ao-

tearoa, hosted

by Wellington

College on Sat-

urday 18 No-

vember 2023.

Over 80 recipi-

ents were pre-

sented their Gold Award certificates by Prince Edward:

HRH The Duke of Edinburgh KG GCVO - Global Patron of

the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award. Sir spoke to

and was photographed with each recipient as they received

their awards.

Brenda began her bronze award as a 14-year-old in 2018 and

completed gold in January 2023. Each of the three levels

(bronze, silver and gold) involve increasing amounts of vol-

untary service, adventurous expedition journeys, learning

new skills, and physical recreation. At gold level participants

also complete a residential project - a purposeful activity

over at least five days in an unfamiliar environment with

people they have never met before. For Brenda this was

aboard the R Tucker Thompson sailing ship.

Brenda said, “The Duke of Edinburgh's Hillary Award

helped me develop outdoor, people and social skills that are

not provided in everyday life. I really enjoyed my time com-

pleting the programme and would recommend it to all young

people considering doing it."

FROM A BARN IN KAIWAKA

‘My son Chris has spent

the last 4yrs converting

his MX5 and entered it

into this year's Hot

Wheels

Legends

Competition. At the end

of October he appeared

in the Northern Advocate

having won the Australia

-New Zealand level.

'Great work Chris'.

That put him in the international semi-finals against

contestants from all over the world – and he was selected as

one of the 10 finalists. Up against entries from the States,

Mexico, Indonesia, Germany, Poland, France, and the UK,

the ultimate judging took place on November 12th. The

overall winner gets his/her creation immortalised as a die-

cast model sold world-wide. The winner was... our own,

Kaiwaka's own, Chris Watson.

WeeHee!! (broken ass dance) – proud mum Gill.

Mattel vice-president and global head of design for vehicles,

Ted Wu, said Watson's victory "embodies what this tour is

all about. Chris' journey from rural New Zealand to securing

a spot in the Hot Wheels Garage of Legends is truly

inspirational," he said in the statement. Chimera will be

immortalised as a 1:64 Hot Wheels vehicle and inducted into

the Hot Wheels Garage of Legends. ~ Ref Newshub.

KAIWAKA SCOTTISH COUNTRY DANCING

Kaiwaka Scottish Country Dancing Club ran a Labour

Weekend Scottish Music and Dance event in Kaiwaka

with the support of a grant from the Kaipara Creative

Communities Fund. This grant meant that we were

able to go ahead with our plans knowing that we were

financially sound even if not many attended.

We were delighted with the results. We had over 80

dancers and musicians on site from Friday to Monday.

Over 50 of these were participants from across New

Zealand bringing business into the area through

accommodation and tourism. We hired Kaiwaka,

Archie Bull, St John and Hakaru halls for our event.

The large numbers enabled us to make

WEATHER

OCTOBER

What a way to end a month. Cyclone

Lola certainly made her presence felt

on the 29th and 30th of October but

thankfully and luckily not as destructive

as Cyclone Gabrielle in February. At

our house the rainfall over the two days

of the storm was 73mm. Thank

goodness we didn’t get the full force of

the storm as I have heard reports of

some areas getting over 200mm of rain.

The total rainfall at our place for the

month of October was 155.5mm over

18 days.

The highest recording I have made for

the month of October was in 2021 with

215.5mm over 21 days.

The lowest rainfall recorded for an

October was in 2010 with a mere 12mm

over 2 days and then the same in 2013

also with 12mm only this time it was

over 3 days.

A friend of mine has got a great answer

for anybody who asks what the weather

is going to be for the day. He says -

“well its not raining at the moment but

it will rain”, he doesn’t need to say

when the rain will come. I quite like his

theory. Until next month, take care!

a meaningful donation of $1,000 to Hate Hone St John, a

vital service in a rural area. We were also able to donate $2000

to the Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall to help support the upkeep

of the vital place it holds in the community - pictured below

Diane, Pam and Lindsey receiving their very kind donations.

The atmosphere during the whole weekend was happy and

energised. The bond and understanding between dancers, teachers

and musicians was strengthened. It was especially good to see the

newer dances gaining confidence from dancing with older

experienced dancers. The support and care shown to those less

able, and more frail was great to see.

Everyone at the school helped to build the magical

atmosphere but we would especially like to acknowledge

the extensive time and effort put into this project by our

international musical gurus. We were disappointed that we

had not had uptake from musicians in the area but if you are

interested in future events, please contact Elaine.

The members of the Kaiwaka Scottish Country Dancing

Club have melded as a happy family; one that works well

together to produce a wonderful weekend of music and

dance with happy well-fed attendees.

THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK

‘Keep what you know to yourself and you will be safe; talk

too much, and you are done for’ - Proverbs 13:3 CEV.

Simply put, a tendency to speak without thinking will keep

getting us into trouble.

The story is told of a vacuum cleaner salesperson who had been
given  remote  rural  area  as  his  territory.  He  was  going  from
farmhouse to farmhouse on his ﬁrst day on the job, attempting
to  sell  vacuum  cleaners.  As  he  arrived  at  one  farmhouse,  he
knocked on the door and was met by a farmer's wife who asked
him  what  he  wanted.  Without  asking  permission,  he  shoved
right  past  her  into  the  kitchen  and  said,  ‘I'm  selling  vacuum
cleaners.’  Shocked,  she  replied,  ‘Wait  a  minute!’.  But  he
demanded,  ‘Ma'am,  before  you  say  anything,  I  want  to  show
you something.’ Then he reached into his bag, pulled out a pail
of  dirt,  and  threw  it  across  her  kitchen  ﬂoor.  ‘If  my  vacuum
cleaner won't pick up all that dirt,’ he bragged, ‘then I'll eat it!’
She looked at him and said, ‘Then you better get busy, 'cause we
ain't got no electricity!’

How often we have to eat the words we so recklessly toss on

the ﬂoor of everyday living! Be careful.

An unknown poet wrote, ‘Be careful of the words you say

and keep them soft and sweet. You never know from

day to day which ones you'll have to eat.’ So unless

you want to eat your words, think carefully before

speaking.

~ Ref. Rhema Media, Word or The Day.

VOLUNTEER

FIRE

BRIGADE - ‘Have a clear entrance’

In1963 the local fire brigade began with ‘a transportable

pump capable of delivering 60 gallons of water per

minute’*. This was on a trailer that could be towed by a

volunteer’s car. The Brigade now has a brilliant well

equipped appliance. From Fire Chief John Bowmar, “the

Fire Truck is a ‘little bit’ wider than a Toyota Corolla”.

Following recent call outs the need for clear driveways is

essential in case of emergencies.

The midday siren remind us that we have a wonderful group

of volunteers ready to come out in an emergency.

are hoping to continue with the

Bunnings sausage sizzle in March

next year. We find that the

combination of Mark’s donuts and

Bo’s sausages a very good one,

netting us around $500 each time.

Thank you to the crew who step up

to make this a success and also for the

support we receive from Bunnings.

The President’s Scholarship has now

closed, and the awardees may now

know of their success. We have always

had very interesting recipients of this

award and it is great to hear where their

career has taken them this far, or if they

are school leavers, what they have

planned. It is also good to hear from

them several years down the track when

we know how the award has helped

them out.

ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE

This year, for the first time in many

years, we do have an RYE student

going to Belgium for 2024. Jaime is

joining 11 others from Rotary

Districts 9910 and 9920 as outbound

students to various countries. They have

had orientation weekends to meet each

other, and at some of these, inbound

students have also been present. Jaime

has undertaken a great deal of

fundraising to complete this venture

and has had to learn French. Jaime has

had a chance to meet (on-line) three of

her four host families – she will stay at

each place for three months. The

families Jaime has met have three

youngsters in them, but there is always

a student around Jaime’s age. Jaime is a

keen netballer (she is in the Otamatea

High School No1 team) – a sport not

played in Belgium – so she is looking

forward to the alternatives that might be

on offer. Jaime has given us a

presentation and we look forward to her

communications throughout 2024.

SENIORS’ AFTERNOON TEA

We had a very successful Seniors’

afternoon tea, at which the singers

Maura Flower trains had a chance to

perform in front of a most unknown

audience.

all

enjoy

these

afternoons,

not

only

for

the

entertainment but also the social

connections that take place.

DRIVER MENTORING

We continue to get a good uptake with

the Driver Mentoring scheme and some

very good results as well. Most of our

students tend to go to Dargaville to sit

their Restricted, but even if that is their

choice, we do have an expectation of

them completing some lessons in

Whangarei as well. The latter is

important as students need to know

the vagaries of lane changing, traffic

lights and varying speed zones. As

has been the case in the past three

years, the students who complete the

test in the most effective manner have

been able to spend some time driving

on both the open road and around their

communities. The approximately 40

hours we give them is only about a third

of the suggested driving time. Thank

you to my Mentors who give their time

freely to support the learners. Recently,

we have been able to provide the car for

High School students to complete the

practical portion of the Defensive

Driving Course, if they do not have

their own car available.

Thank you also to Roadsafe Northland

and People Potential for being there to

support us.

Rotary hopes that the Christmas Season

will be a chance to not only connect

with family members but also a chance

to share with neighbours and friends

within your community.

The lime green lines (view online) are the pickleball court lines in the KSA gym

- photo below. Pickleball is a paddle/racquet sport played using a perforated,

plastic ball over a tennis-type net on a badminton-sized court. The game can be

played in a singles or doubles format. The rules are simple, and the game is easy

for beginners to learn!

CHESS NATIONALS

Congratulations to our

chess player who competed

recently in the chess

nationals

Alfriston

College. There were over

300 players competing with

our team consisting of Max

Bull, Jackson Wintle,

Elliot

Hartles

and

Matthew

and

Caleb

Laurence-Goss playing in

the senior division. It was

tough competition, and we

were the only team

from Northland, as

well as the youngest

team in the division

with

three

intermediate

aged

students in our team.

Our team collectively

earned enough points

to award them a Merit

certificate

and

Jackson got top player

for the school, with

the highest number of

wins.

‘We have a very successful Duke of Edinburgh (DOE) programme at Otamatea

High School, with dozens of students involved in either the bronze, silver or gold

award. This is very much due to the dedication of Robyn Bruce, our award

leader, who not only manages the DOE Hillary award programmes, but

participates in the adventurous journeys and helps the student with their

fundraising efforts. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the DOE programme

in New Zealand, and to celebrate the occasion, a special Award Celebration was

held last Saturday at Government House in Wellington. The Duke of Edinburgh

himself, HRH Prince Edward was in attendance, along with their Excellencies the

Governor-General of New Zealand - The Rt Hon Dame Cindy Kiro, and Dr

Richard Davis. I was delighted to have received an invitation to see Robyn

receive one of only six inaugural Excellence Service Awards, to recognise the

outstanding work Robyn has done over the years. She has personally seen over

100 students achieve their gold award! Our little community in the Kaipara had a

massive presence at this event, with Ken Hames, National Director for the Duke

of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award, Sharlene McCormick, DOE Board Member as

well as DOE instructors Stephen and Andrea Orchard all present. I wish to

publicly congratulate Robyn on this amazing achievement. It was a very special

ceremony and an amazing experience, especially getting to meet and talk to the

Duke of Edinburgh himself. ~ Principal, Dirk Smyth

The Den Sale 2023

Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

Saturday December 2nd

Maungaturoto Country Club

Bickerstaffe Road

Time 10am -3pm

The Country Club will have food, tea

and coffee available.

Yesterday: various items of historical

and collectable interest!

Today: hand tools, furniture, paintings

All sorts of things!

Tomorrow: Has not happened yet, but

there ....

If people have contributions they

would like to make contact Albie

Paton on 027494448 or any of the

team that run The Den during the

week and we will make arrangements

to inspect and pick up.

Over the last few years The Den has

made substantial contributions well in

excess of $500.000 to Health and

Wellbeing causes throughout the old

Otamatea County region. Major

beneficiaries have been the Dementia

unit in Maungaturoto, The Northland

Rescue Helicopter Trust, Kaipara

Coastguard, Lions Clubs for various

local causes to do with Health and

Wellbeing. Other organisations to

benefit have been Linking Hands,

Otamatea Community House, St John,

Flood relief concert, St John and

Paramedic cover for events (Paparoa

Show, Northland Motocross Champs),

Gumboot Day and many others with

money and kind.

All monies raised by The Den will go

towards further help for those

previously mentioned and other worthy

causes within the parameters of health

and wellbeing as they come to hand.

Other

member

clubs

the

Maungaturoto Country Club and

outside organisations are welcome to

participate if they feel they can benefit

from the crowd we hope to attract.

Remember about 18 months ago we

held a similar event, and we hope this

one will be equally as big and

successful as that. It could be a chance

to get an unusual Xmas present for

someone or something old and

collectable.

Any help on the day and during the lead

up and in the future will be very much

appreciated.

GARDENING for the YOUNG & OLD

Here we are at the end of November

and a month till Christmas; the early

blooming roses will be in flower –

when they wither make sure to dead-

head and new buds will form – they

should carry on till autumn. Don’t

let the sap sucking pests suck the

goodness out of the buds!

Pest Buster: Fill a spray bottle with

rinse water from the washing

machine, add a little dishwashing

liquid and deal to the little blighters.

At this time of

the

year

(usually)

watering

essential

reduce the risk

disease

among

susceptible plants such as the roses

and vegetables. Avoid wetting the

foliage and allow water to soak

down to the roots. To maintain

strong growth and good yields give

vege plants, roses, fruit trees,

perennials and summer flowering

shrubs an application of general

fertiliser.

Tomatoes and potatoes should be

sprayed with a copper fungicide to

protect the leaves from blight. Pinch

out the laterals on tomatoes to

ensure energy goes into fruiting

trusses.

Citrus trees need their

balance of fertiliser now –

moisten soil first.

Salad crops are best when grown

quickly – make several smaller

plantings a fortnight apart; keep

them weed free, well-watered and

give a weekly feed of liquid

fertiliser.

Are

you

going

away

for

Christmas?

Holiday preparation can include

making a deep well watered sawdust

patch to keep well-watered pot

plants in.

Spray brassicas for white butterfly –

Handy Hint: When you buy a

bunch of spring onions, trim the

roots to 1.5cm then plant them in the

herb garden. In no time they will

grow new leaves; harvest them low

to ground and they will quickly

regenerate.

From Bill Wards ‘Edible Garden’: 1.

Mint grown in pots and placed

among cabbages will repel white

butterflies.

2. The onion family – chives, leeks

and garlic – planted among leafy

vegies such as lettuce, spinach and

rhubarb will dispel aphids.

Enjoy your time in the garden and

being out in the fresh air. ~ Mr Jo.

ATHLETICS DAY

‘We had a fantastic Kaiwaka School Athletics Day with lots of whānau present. It

was great to see all of our children involved, especially our special needs

children. A big thank you to Katherine Brown for organising an awesome day

with lots of activities. In our staff meeting reflection, we decided it would be

good to look at including shot put and

discus next year.

SCHOOL POOL

The pool is now open for the

children’s swimming during school

time.

We need some volunteers to be

trained up for over the Christmas

period if we are going to keep the

pool open for the community to use

during this time. In the past, our

caretaker Len has done this. Due to

his resignation this is no longer an option. If you would like to be trained up,

please contact the school and we will book you into a pool chemical course. We

need around three people. This will require being timetabled on over the

Christmas holidays morning and night to keep the pool running. We will also

need volunteers to test the pool during the day. No training needed for this part of

the job.

Kaiwaka School swimming pool keys are available from the office. $80 for

whānau, $100 for community members - No Eftpos

SCHOOL LIBRARY

We have another big property project starting during the Christmas holidays. The

school library has been deemed end of life and is to be demolished. We will have

to put the library books into storage while the new library is being built. The

teachers will access the National Library books for class use.’~

BOOK REVIEWS

There are so many good books on the

shelves! I have so many to recommend,

I will try to keep it brief...



The Calculating Stars by Mary

Robinette Kowal is the first title in the

Lady Astronaut series. It was so good

I've gone and ordered the rest of the

series for our shelves.



Catch a Falling Star by Eileen

Merriman is a prequel to Catch Me

When I Fall, which is also on our

shelves. Excellent teen fiction that's a

good read for everyone.



I've finished the Cornish Cream Tea

series by Cressida McLaughlin recently

- always a lovely read! - and have

ordered book #8 for when it is released

next year. Read them in order to get the

character development from one to the

next.



The Slow Roll by Simon Lendrum is

an exciting thriller set in Auckland.



The Redgum River Retreat by Sandie

Docker was a delightful Australian

book. We have several by this author on

our shelves, they're not a series so you

can read them in any order.

Place a hold for these or any other item

on our shelves via Enterprise*, or the

library app, to be next in the queue.

See you in the library! ~Wendy
