family fun night, with lots of laughter, music,

action and great lanterns. The lanterns were super

creations made by the young folk and carried

around town in the dark. Along with lanterns

there was egg and spoon race, gumboot throwing,

treasure hunt, bouncy castles, silent auction, face

painting and wonderful food plus more ...

Proverbs 24 : 3

"Any enterprise is built by

wise planning, becomes

strong through common

sense, and profits

wonderfully by keeping

abreast of the facts."

WEATHER

MAY

The warm weather is continuing. We

may have had a few cooler days but

not often enough to say that the

temperature has changed completely.

Minimal rainfall at our place over the

month of May is good news. I

recorded 103.5mm for the month of

May over 18 days.

Derek in Hakaru recorded 93mm over

15 days.

The least rainfall recorded at our

place for May was in 2007 with a

recording of 35mm.

The highest rainfall recorded for May

was in (and no-one will be surprised)

2023 with a recording of 324.5mm

over 23 days, for the month.

Duck shooting season was relatively

quiet around our place. The Autumn

leaves have all but fallen and the trees

are looking quite bare. Spring bulbs

are beginning to show their colours

(even though we have only just got

into Winter) and the perfume is lovely.

The grass growth on the farms is

looking good for this time of year.

That’s about all for this month.

Take care all, Karen

WINTER SOLSTICE

The June solstice (winter solstice) in

Auckland is at 8:50 am on Friday, June

21, 2024. In terms of daylight, this day

is 5 hours, 4 minutes shorter than the

December solstice .

The winter solstice, also called the

hibernal solstice (or Midwinter, the

Shortest Day, the Longest Night),

occurs when either of Earth's poles

reaches its maximum tilt away from

the Sun. This happens twice yearly,

once in each hemisphere. Wikipedia

The Māori New Year is celebrated

with the rise of the star cluster

Matariki, marking the beginning of the

Aotearoa/Pacific New Year according

to the lunar calendar. Stars of the

Matariki cluster set on 31 Mei / May.,

rise from 29 Hune | June and last until

6 Hūrae | July. The public holiday of

Matariki is on Friday 28 June 2024.

new

national

temperature record of

25.7C for June occurred in Hastings,

Hawke's Bay, on Monday10 June

qualifying as a new North Island

temperature record for the winter

season of June-August. This is based

on NIWA’s climate database, with

records dating back to the 1850s.

Temperatures on 10 June reached

above 20C for several regions,

including Gisborne, Northland, and

other parts of Hawke’s Bay.

Previously,

the

highest

June

temperature ever recorded was

25.4C on 19th June 1988, also in

Church on Hurndall Street last month

with over 60 attending. Our next lunch

is set for August 7th. This is open to

all ages, so come along to meet with

with hot chips and tomato sauce and

‘traffic-lights’ jelly for dessert.

There is plenty of parking and our mini

-bus provides transport to and from the

Maungaturoto Retirement Village. We

appreciate very much our wonderful

Damian with everything that needs to

be done to help make the lunch run

smoothly. Most of all we thank YOU

for coming along to make it all

worthwhile.

Board Games

Our first Board Games night was also

a big success with a good number

attending. They had a great time

playing some of the old favourites with

the opportunity to learn new ones. The

Board Games night is on Fridays from

6pm to 9pm at The Community House,

153 Hurndall Street, Maungaturoto.

Games and snacks provided.

GARDENING for

YOUNG & OLD

JUNE:

Now late June and the

first month of winter has been

mild. Days in May were cold, so the June

temperatures have been great. The

downside is that the lawn is still

growing, however so is the pasture – a

bonus for farmers. Listening to and early

morning radio talkback two weeks ago –

a caller in Christchurch had just seen a

mother duck leading ducklings to the

Avon River, and further on in his walk

came across cherry trees in blossom and

some daffodils in flower. Never mind the

seasons make their own time. Back in the

early 1970s I remember it was freezing

cold on September-October and late

lambs were trying to keep warm curled

up in rush bushes.

Planting for June-July:

Vegetables: Try Kohlrabi, Kale, Silver

Beet, Rocket, Mizuna and Winter

Lettuces (choose frilly leafed lettuces as

they are hardier).

At this time of the year try growing

shallots - a member of the onion family.

They are sweet when eaten and like

garlic they can be planted from cloves.

When planting don’t bury shallots too far

down – allow the neck of the bulb to sit

above the soil.

Winter flowering plants for a splash of

wonderful colour in the garden: Try

Pansies, Alyssum and Calendula. Taller

shrubs that are in bloom for the next few

months Camelias, Azaleas and Daphne.

Pruning Programme for June-July:

This will depend on where your garden is

and how busy you are. Plants: Fuchsias

in frost-free areas can be shortened back

to about two-thirds from the tips.

Grape vines need dead and weak growths

removed and strong shoots cut back to

the last two healthy

buds

before

the

permanent wood.

Wisterias need e

shortened back to

firm stems and buds.

Now a blast from

the past: In 500BC

(15th Century BCE

Ref

Wikipedia)

Chinese

gardeners

were

cultivating

Chrysanthemums for sale in their florist

shops. By this time they had developed

them from the wild varieties which had

grown in China from the beginning of

civilisation into blooms with massive

‘heads’ in a multitude of glorious forms

and

colours.

From

China

the

Chrysanthemum was exported to Japan

and then on to Europe!

RYDA

Since our last report, we have been

involved with RYDA (Rotary Youth

Driving Awareness). About 60 year

12 students from Otamatea joined a

similar number from Rodney, in

Wellsford, to take part in six

modules which are aimed to make

them safer drivers. The object of the

day is to make them think about the

choices

they

make,

and

the

implications of them. One handy tip for

us all is to keep our cellphone in the

glovebox or the boot. This will help

avoid any unwanted distractions from a

call coming through while one is

driving.

ROTARY

INTERNATIONAL

PRESIDENT

I have also had the chance to travel to

Auckland to meet our

Rotary

International

President,

Gordon

McInally,

Scot

(pictured right). He is

very impressed with

Cat Levine’s program

TaiTokerau,

which is aimed at

improving the mental health of our

primary school children with her

“Think and Be Me” presentation.

This was a District 9910’s initiative

and our RI President has committed to

promoting

throughout

other

countries. Our Club is looking forward

to being involved with this program

next year.

SUPPORTING YOUNG FOLK

We are actively involved in helping

both DOE and Netball fundraise as

they

provide

our

fortnightly meals. We

also support the William

Pike challenge in which

Nyree

Antunovich

involves 30 year 7 and 8

students each year to

help grow resilience by

completing

Outdoor

activities,

Community service and taking up a

new hobby.

PRESIDENT TIM MAGILL

From July our new Rotary year

commences,

and

our

incoming

President is Tim Magill. Each

President brings their own “flavour” to

the position, and we look forward to

working with Tim for the following 12

months.

We will be saying farewell to our

Assistant District Governor, Sally

Cargill. Sally lives on the Shore and

her trips to us have been hampered by

frequent road closures, especially over

the past two years. We have

appreciated her persistence in visiting

us (and giving us a catchup on things

Rotary) under difficult circumstances.

REV STAN PILBROW

The Paparoa Mission District

(along with the Mangawhai

Mission District) has been

fortunate to obtain the services of

a new Priest in Charge, Rev Stan

Pilbrow. It will be great to have a

Priest living in our area, being

available for pastoral care, and we

look forward to working with

him.

Stan was born in Whatuwhiwhi

and for 27 years was a regular in

the NZ Army, serving in many

areas and rising to the rank of

lieutenant colonel. Stan believes

that his time in the army involved

teaching,

leadership,

organizational, problem-solving

and logistical skills all of which

he has used and will continue to

use in his life as a minister. He

has worked as a Probation Officer

in Kaitaia as well as working with Corrections in several facilities.

Stan’s ties to Northland are extensive. His iwi is Ngāti Kahu through his

mother; his Pākeha father is from the Bay of Plenty. His later schooling years

were at Taipā District High and Kaitaia College. “The church and karakia were

important parts of Māori rural life, and very few of our life milestones occurred

without prayer, a service or celebration at our marae,” he said. Five years at

Auckland’s College of St John the Evangelist, has also been a powerful

influence on his life. ~ EP

Kaiwaka Bugle - 24 June 2024

QUAIL ON ONERIRI

PARADISE: About four years ago

, while searching for

a smaller block of land, we left the Pouto Peninsula and

settled on the Oneriri Peninsula. We entered a paradise of

bush, trees and birdlife in comparison with our old home,

where birdlife was scarce due to the predation of feral cats.

With the passage of time our excitement grew as we noticed

a wide variety of birds feeding on our house lawn and then

we spotted three brown quail, we were over the moon!

Down to our Four Square and a big bag of Wild Bird Seed.

Over the next years we’ve seen their babies (we call them

‘bumblebees’ due to their size) arrive and the flocks

growing exponentially.

MANYBIRDS: Today it is not uncommon to see

groupings of 20 -30 quail arriving to be fed. Other

varieties have thrived also, tauho, three types of finches, fan

tails, majestic male and female pheasants, kereru and tuis.

For us, the real bonus recently was watching a young tui

pecking on wind-fall mandarins.

All of this wonder has only been possible due to the control

of feral cats. I would

encourage everyone

dissuade

acquaintances from

dumping unwanted

kittens and cats.

They quickly adapt

to become efficient

killers

our

birdlife, usually their

prime food source.

UPDATE ON THE STRATEGIC

PLAN

As you may be aware four meetings

were held over an eight-week period in

Feb/March and involved around 100

attendees representing all areas of the

community.

From this we have developed a plan for

the next five years to ensure the club

can continue to provide spaces for

sport, arts and community activities

and events.

The plan addresses critical issues

identified

including

ensuring

sustainable

business

model,

commercialising the operations to

provide a return on investment,

employing a manager to support

volunteer effort, investing in building

maintenance and renewal and selling

parts of the land that are not being used

productively.

For more information contact Tina

Holst

maungaturotocountryclub@gmail.com

We encourage all members of the

community to come along to Thursday

or Friday night for a meal and

a drink and get to know fellow

community members.

We Need You!!!!!!

Are you able to Volunteer?

Being a not-for-profit organisation, we

rely on the support and hard work of

our committee and members in the

community to keep the club thriving.

With buildings, grounds, events etc

there is always plenty of work to be

done and we are always on the lookout

for volunteers who can offer help in

any way they can, for example

attending a working bee or working on

the bar.

If this sounds like a bit of you, please

Pick up your free copy from the library

counter. It's full of recommendations

for good reading and information about

the district's libraries.

BOOK REVIEWS

I've read some good books lately,

including these ones from series that

we have in the library - From Cornwall

With Love by Cressida McLaughlin,

the 8th book in the Cornish Cream Tea

series,

Come

Death and High

Water by Ann

Cleeves, the 2nd

book

her

George & Molly

Palmer-Jones

series, and The

Running Grave

Robert

Galbraith, the 7th

book

the

Cormoran Strike

series. They've all

been good reads

that I have no

hesitation

recommending to

you. With each,

do start at the

beginning of the

series if you've

not read them

before; we have

them all in our library.

See you in the library! ~Wendy
