KAIWAKA LIGHTS

The Christmas Lights and Village and ‘snow’ delighted

many travellers and local folk. The Lights were noticed by

Emma, RNZ reporter, who caught up with Mark for a radio

interview. She certainly enjoyed speaking with him.

Kaiwaka was included along with other larger towns

throughout New Zealand e.g. Ashburton. Well done Pam and

Mark! The interview was at https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/

programmes/morningreport/audio/2018919494/which-nz-

town-has-the-most-christmas-spirit

A note from Pam and Mark, “To everyone that visited our

Christmas Lights and made a Donation to the Kaiwaka Fire

Brigade we raised a total of $5466.70.

A special thank you to the anonymous donor who made a

very substantial donation. Thank you Caltex for your help

with parking and your donation.

See you all next Christmas.”

WEATHER

DECEMBER

2023

Happy New Year, I trust you all had a

reasonably good festive season. Ours

was relatively quiet as the wind was in

the right direction to take most of the

Northern Bass noise away from us. The

concert organisers and patrons however

had to deal with the deluges of rain

each and every day. Some rain was

needed for farms and gardens alike but

123.5mm over 3 days was a bit more

than needed.

The rainfall recorded at my place for

December 2023 was 218.5 over 11

days.

The total for 2023 was a whopping

2883mm over 199 days which was

753.

5mm higher than the wettest year I

have recorded which was in 2022.

Our driest December was in 2015 with

a mere 27mm.

Derek (in the Hakaru Valley) recorded

193mm for December over 12 days.

Hakaru Valley rainfall for the year

was 2577mm over 208 days. 649mm

higher than previous wettest year

which also was 2022.

February 2023 was Derek’s highest

monthly record with 601mm, my

highest month was also February and I

recorded 702mm.

Take care, Karen

SAVE MONEY ON YOUR POWER BILL

Northpower are providing free Home Energy Assessments to help families save

money on their power bills.

We look at things like lighting, heating, hot water, switching retailers and also

provide tips and advice to try to help you find ways to save money on your bill.

We have an assessor in Kaiwaka now.

Call Arriane at Northpower on 021 587 900 or

email arriane.christie@northpower.com and we will put you in touch with them.

The

programme

provides

free

personalised

energy

saving

advice

and

devices to households in

Whangārei and Kaipara

through local, on-the-

ground assessors, with

the aim of saving those

households money on

their power bills. Run in

partnership

with

Ecobulb Ltd, it uses a

simple online tool to

help calculate and then

show potential savings

to the households who

receive an assessment.

As of 17 September

2023, the programme had completed 2,067 assessments, distributed

over 22,300 LED light bulbs and 1,960 low flow shower heads, and saved those

households an estimated $1.62 million per year.

BE PREPARED

About this time last year we had several weather

events

which saw a need for action plan to be put in

place. Along with the Fire Chief and a few other

interested locals Kaiwaka Can took on the challenge, and along with John the

local Fire Chief and a few other interested locals Kaiwaka Emergency Response

Group was born, this covers the areas from Hakaru, Oneriri, Kaiwaka township

and Oruawharo and is now a sub-Committee of Kaiwaka Can. This Group works

alongside and under the guidance of Civil Defence Northland.

In the case of future Events like these here are a few pointers to help us be

better prepared.

1. Make sure you have a supply of Bottled Water, dry foods, candles and

torches with Batteries stored in an Airtight, waterproof container. Along

with Gas for the BBQ to cook.

2. ALWAYS your first call if in danger and need help dial 111.

3. For those inconvenienced the St John Hall opposite Kaiwaka Four Square

will be opened and will be our command centre. We have other places

available if not accessible.

4. Check for Information on Facebook Pages of Kaiwaka Can, Kaiwaka

Community, Hakaru Community or Kaipara Council Civil Defence Page.

Or have a battery powered Radio if no power.

5. DOWNLOAD Antenno App on your Cell phone. Handy for Emergencies.

Our first meeting for the year will be held on Wednesday February 21st, 5.30pm

at the Archie Bull Hall behind the Church next to the Four Square. Everyone is

welcome to come along and help progress our Little Town of Lights. Help us

make a family friendly Community to be proud of. ~ David

CEMETERY

New continuous concrete berms have

been laid at the Kaiwaka Cemetery.

The top photo, on the north side of the

wee chapel shows the concrete strip

where plaques may be placed next to

the ashes (urns) plots. The plots are a

metre square and are positioned east

and west of the berm; up to four ashes

urns can be placed within the one plot.

The bottom photo shows the continued

line in position for headstones for

future burial graves.

The cemetery also has provision for

memorial plaques to be mounted in the

chapel, for people whose ashes may

have been scattered elsewhere.

Plots and the Burial Graves please

BBQ

The Rotary year has

started well for us with a

very enjoyable BBQ at

President Babe’s (and

Val’s) home in Paparoa.

We were very fortunate

that the evening was

perfect and the bush around us ensured

that we were treated to a variety of bird

noises. As is usually the case with

potluck meals, there was a wide variety

of salads and desserts on hand. We all

had a chance to catch up on happenings

over the holiday period.

GABRIELLA and TEINA SEAGER

At our final meeting for 2023, we were

able to welcome a number of

community members including the

Principal of Otamatea High School and

the Paparoa Lions President.

We were privileged to have our joint

President

Scholarship

winners

(Gabriella and Teina Seager) talk to

us and present images of some of the

projects they have completed during the

course of their studies. Both of these

young ladies went to Otamatea (five

years apart) and both have chosen

courses in which they can make the best

use of their creativity skills. Gabriella

showed us an animated film called

Flour Power and Teina showed us how

she constructed 3D models, using a

variety of textures and use of space.

They showed what can be achieved on

leaving school, and it would seem that

both are on the path to becoming life-

long learners, being adaptable to

changing circumstances. They will both

receive $1,000 to go towards their

future studies.

INTERACT CLUB?

While, as a Club we have assisted in

fundraising (with the provision of

catered meals) by DOE (Duke of

Edinburgh) and netball groups, we have

also provided financial support to both

DOE and William Pike. The Otamatea

High School has been very fortunate to

have the dedication of Robyn Bruce

(for 18 years) to provide the DOE

programme. However, we are now

looking at other ways in which we can

engage senior youth at the High School.

There is some thought being given to

establish an Interact Club, which is

specifically for senior school students.

DRIVER MENTORS

Driver mentoring has taken a break

during the statutory holidays. We are

very grateful for the mentors we have

on hand and the support we receive

from Roadsafe Northland and People

Potential. However, our numbers are

limited so if you believe you might be

able to help us in assisting people to get

their restricted licence, please get in

touch with me (021 142 0357). We

have an automatic car which we use,

and there is no cost to participants –

apart from the cost of their licence.

Mentors can choose to be available on

only one specific day, if that works best

for them.

The KSA lounge carpet was a sodden

mess following Kaiwaka’s heavy

downpour on 15 January.

Thank you Pam and Mark Ottaway for

the amazing ‘drying’ work.

TOP of the ROCK!

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 now open

– check

on our website or Facebook page

(Kaiwaka Top of the Rock 2024) for

more information. If businesses or

individuals

are

keen

offer

sponsorship, we would of course love

to hear from you. Full briefing

provided.

New rating valuations on the way

for Kaipara – QV

Kaipara property owners will soon

receive

new

three-yearly

rating

valuations in the post.

Updated values have been prepared for

all 16,234 properties in the district by

independent valuers Quotable Value

(QV) on behalf of Kaipara District

Council. They reflect the likely price a

property would have sold for on 1

September 2023, not including chattels.

Since the district’s last revaluation in

2020, the value of residential housing

has increased by an average of 37%.

The average house value is now at

$843,000, while the corresponding

average land value has increased by

70% to a new average of $473,000.

Auckland/Northern

manager

Sanjay Kanji said the property market

underwent a dynamic three-year period,

marked by record-low interest rates that

helped fuel substantial value growth in

2021, before a correction set in from

mid-2022 and 2023.

“Since we last revalued Kaipara in

2020, we’ve witnessed a strong increase

in residential property value levels

overall. Though property values have

softened over the past 18 months or so,

they are substantially higher than their

pre-pandemic levels,” he said.

“Properties at the more affordable end

of the ladder have experienced the

highest increases due to competition

from first-home buyers and investors,

who remain the most active groups in

these markets, and have therefore

experienced some of the largest average

value

increases

since

2020

–

particularly in and around Ruawai and

Dargaville.”

“Kaipara’s

lifestyle

market

has

experienced

average

growth

since

2020.

Mangawhai,

the

fastest

growing

coastal settlement

in New Zealand

has

experienced

the highest increases. Retirees, holiday

makers and local residents are most

active within this market. The recently

constructed Puhoi to Warkworth

motorway has increased accessibility to

Mangawhai.

New

developments

including the Te Arai and Tara Iti golf

courses and Mangawhai Central has

contributed to the area’s growth,” Mr.

Kanji added.

Meanwhile,

commercial

property

values have increased by 25% and

property values in the industrial sector

have increased by 37% since the

district’s last rating valuation in 2020.

Commercial and industrial land values

have also increased by 59% and 72%

respectively.

The total rateable value for the district

is now $15.8 billion, with the land

value of those properties now valued at

$9.7 billion.

What are rating valuations?

Rating valuations are usually carried

out on all New Zealand properties every

three years to help local councils assess

rates for the following three-year

period. They are not intended to be used

for any other purpose, including raising

finance with banks or as insurance

valuations.

They reflect the likely selling price of a

property at the effective revaluation

date, which was 1 September 2023, and

do not include chattels. Any changes in

the market since that time will not be

included in the new rating valuations,

which often means that a sale price

achieved today will be different to the

new rating valuation.

The updated rating valuations are then

independently audited by the Office of

the Valuer General to ensure they meet

rigorous quality standards, before the

new rating valuations are confirmed and

posted to property owners.

If owners do not agree with their rating

valuation, they have a right to object

through the objection process before

7th March 2024.

Kaiwaka Primary School

Kia ora Whanau and Community,

Our old Library is being taken down

and we will be getting a wonderful new

one to replace it. This will be bigger

and great for the children to use.

From Monday the 22nd January the

school site will be closed to both staff

and the public for the week. This is

because the asbestos cladding on the

Library will be taken away first. The

school will be open and safe for

everyone the following week.

Nga mihi, Sharlene

‘GARDEN TO TABLE ‘

Senior students will be working through

this programme in 2024. We need some

GARDENING for the

YOUNG & OLD

Welcome to the new year,.

Welcome to gardening in

2024!

If you are new to gardening here are

some ideas:

You do not need lots of ‘dug over’

and composted garden beds, as you

can grow lots of vegetables and

flowers in small raised beds that you

create yourself with off-cuts of

timber or old car tyres.

If your New Year resolution was to

enjoy gardening whether young or

old, here are a few essentials for

vege garden:

A. if space is limited use all of your

open sunny space which is free

draining and has good soil.

B. most edible plants need lots of

sun for success.

C. your rows of vegetable need to

face east to west to maximise heat

from the sun.

D. Grow taller crops e.g. corn, at

‘the back’ so there is less likelihood

of shading shorter vegies..

For a range of vegetables that

provide the best crop for the least

space try the following:

Radish, Beetroot, peppers, dwarf

varieties of beans and peas, lettuce,

mesculin, rocket, cherry tomatoes,

cucumber, baby carrots, spinach,

and the oriental vegetables such as

bok choy.

These vegetables are all high in

nutritional value and straightforward

to grow - either from seed or

seedling plants. You will enjoy

growing and harvesting them.

NATIVES

Now

diversify

and touch

on natives

that

look

absolutely

fantastic

and enhance the home garden:

Ferns are characteristic of the New

Zealand bush and in a garden setting

often impart a feeling of tranquillity

and cool growth that is encountered

in our native forests.

The Hen and Chicken Fern

(mouku or manamana; Latin -

Asplenium bulbiferum) a great

example; the Rengarenga Lily is a

great addition to the rock garden and

is very hardy when close to the

coast; ornamental Tea-Tree which

come in various colours are great

along fences of the hose section;

Hebe is a great hardy native shrub -

the bees love the several varieties.

Enjoy your time in the garden and

being out in the fresh air. ~ Mr Jo.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The library team hopes you have had a

good festive season and you're off to a

good start for the new year. We are

open our usual hours now, except for

being closed on public holidays - see

below for details.

RAUMATI | SUMMER READING

CHALLENGE

It's not too late to enter the annual

Summer Reading Challenge. It is being

run on the Beanstack app this year -

details are on Enterprise* or come into

the library and we can help you. There

are prizes to be won!

ROOF REPLACEMENT

We hit a small snag at the end of last

year,

which

has

delayed

the

replacement of our roof. But it is still

going ahead, sometime soon with any

luck.

BOOK REVIEW

Recently, I've read Starter Villain by

John Scalzi, and can't recommend it

highly enough! "

Inheriting

your

mysterious uncle's supervillain business is
more  complicated  than  you  might
imagine.  Sure,  there  are  the  things  you'd
expect.  The  undersea  volcano  lairs.  The
minions. The plots to take over the world.
The  international  networks  of  rivals  who
want  you  dead.  Much  harder  to  get  used
to...  are  the  sentient,  language-using,

computer-savvy cats. And the fact that in
the

overall

organization,

they're

management..."

It's

well-paced,

hilarious, and made me look more

carefully at my cats!

Also, Bonded by Ian Austin. It's the 4th

book in the Dan Calder series. Like the

author himself, Calder is an ex-British

policeman who emigrated to New

Zealand. Read the books in order for

the best effect, though I think this

would stand alone okay. Agency,

Second Grave, and Frozen Summer

are all on our

shelves. "

Dan

Calder's
thrown in at
the deep end to
help

Police

unravel

the

evidence of a
terrorist
bombing plot
at

Auckland

International
Airport,

but

the one thing
he needs most
of all is the one
thing he doesn't have .... time."

See you in the library! ~Wendy

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

WINNIE THE POOH ~ A.A.MILNE

100 YEARS

‘First publication

Christopher Robin's teddy bear made his character début, under the name

Edward, in A. A. Milne's poem, "Teddy Bear", in the edition of 13 February

1924 of Punch, and the same poem was published in Milne's book of

children's verse When We Were Very Young (6 November 1924).

Winnie-the-Pooh first appeared by name on 24 December 1925, in a Christmas

story commissioned and published by the London newspaper Evening News.

The first collection of Pooh stories appeared in the book Winnie-the-Pooh. The

Evening News Christmas story reappeared as the first chapter of the book. At the

beginning, it explained that Pooh was in fact Christopher Robin's Edward Bear,

who had been renamed by the boy. He was renamed after an American black

bear at London Zoo called Winnie who got her name from the fact that her owner

had come from Winnipeg, Canada. The book was published in October 1926 by

the publisher of Milne's earlier children's work, Methuen, in England, E. P.

Dutton in the United States, and McClelland & Stewart in Canada. The book was

an immediate critical and commercial success.

The children's author and literary critic

John Rowe Townsend described Winnie-

the-Pooh and its sequel The House at

Pooh Corner as "the spectacular British

success of the 1920s" and praised its

light, readable prose’. Ref. Wikipedia

From ‘When We Were Very Young’ - a

book of poetry by A. A. Milne.

TEDDY BEAR

A bear, however hard he tries,

Grows tubby without exercise.

Our Teddy Bear is short and fat,

Which is not to be wondered at;

He gets what exercise he can

By falling off the ottoman,

But generally seems to lack

The energy to clamber back. ...
