100 YEARS IN KAIWAKA!!

On August 17, 1924 Jaques General Store in Kaiwaka was opened

and it’s still going strong 100 years on in 2024. It is the first of 223

Four Squares in New Zealand to reach the hundred year milestone!

Owners Molly and Ben Steiner say that is a tribute to the Jaques

family who owned and operated the Four Square on the corner site for

96 of those 100 years. “They made our local Four Square the hub of

the community where everyone has shared many happy memories and

they have been there in the hard times as well. We are privileged to be

the new owners / caretakers of the legacy that was started a century

ago,” says Molly.

And they want the whole community to come along and enjoy a huge

celebration on Saturday August 17 2024. “It runs from 1– 3 pm in the

Store car park and we have music, food, lots of fun activities for the

kids and 100 giveaways that must go on the day. We really want to

thank everyone who supports us and has supported the Four Square

over its long history.

Jaques / Kaiwaka Four Square continues to be a family run

community store. “And we couldn’t be more proud,” they said. “We

are actually shutting the store for the two hours so all our staff and

community can have some fun, we want to celebrate and say ‘Here’s

to a hundy’, and we’re super excited to be part of the next hundred.”

WEATHER

JUNE

June was quite a settled month rain

wise. At our place I recorded 146mm

of rainfall over 16 days.

While Derek in Hakaru recorded

158mm over 19 days. Derek also

recorded that the average nighttime

temperature in June was warmer than

the average nighttime temperature in

May.

We went to Whangarei last week and it

was so nice being able to check on the

Brynderwyn waterfall. It looks a bit

different now but at least it is still there

and flowing nicely. NIWA predictions

for July is that the first half of July will

be cold and dry, with the second half

being warm and wet. I prefer the cold

and dry.

The Spring bulbs are almost finished

and now the Orchids are coming out.

Not a lot else to report so until next

month.

Take care all, Karen

Celebrating 25 Years of

Seasonal Forecasting

July 2024 marks a special anniversary

for NIWA - 25 years of issuing our

Seasonal Climate Outlook.

The Seasonal Climate Outlook (SCO) is

one of NIWA’s most popular services.

It provides temperature, rainfall, soil

moisture and river flow predictions for

the coming three months.

The first SCO was released in 1999,

when computers still used dial-up

internet and the first mobile phone with

digital camera (at a measly 0.11

megapixels) wouldn’t be sold until the

following year.

Back then, those predictions were

published on a 4-page leaflet that was

sent by post to the media and anyone

else who wanted to subscribe.

Today, the SCO is accessed online and

generally covers more than 4 pages. It

is also supported by an extensive code

base, running on NIWA’s powerful

supercomputer that can perform up to

1.4 trillion calculations per second. It is

also a lot more objective, with data

collated from more than 9 general

circulation models (GCMs) worldwide,

and aggregated and tailored for

Aotearoa New Zealand.

SCOs are a statistical summary of the

average weather conditions expected

over a three-month period - think: what

are the chances my heating bill going to

cost more because it will be a colder

winter than last year? Source: NIWA

GRAHAM DOWSON

(GAFFA)

It is with great sadness that we say

goodbye to another Kaiwaka stalwart,

whose family has been in Kaiwaka for

over 165 years.

Graham contributed to the running of

and played in many sports teams in the

Kaiwaka, Hakaru area.

He was a foundation member of the

Kaiwaka Volunteer Fire Brigade when

it was established in 1963.

Graham was a man who was always

willing to assist with community

projects.

Along with his wife Peggy, they raised

a family of 3 on a dairy farm in Hakaru,

before owning a cartage business,

followed by purchasing the Three

Furlongs Hotel and becoming the local

publican for a few years.

Graham and Peggy retired to Marshall

Road where they continued to support

the upbringing of their grandchildren

and great grandchildren.

Gaffa quietly passed away (after a short

illness) on the 28th June 2024 being

almost five years to the day after the

death of Peggy. Graham died 6 days

short of his 88th birthday.

Graham’s family would like to thank

and acknowledge the care, support and

understanding of the community and

local businesses, that was given to

Graham over the last few years.

Kaiwaka’s

annual

Lantern

Festival took place on the

afternoon and evening of Sunday

23rd June 2024.

Attendance this year was up from last

year, with around 600 people in total

visiting the event.

Weather was overcast but without rain,

ensuring that all of the planned

activities could go ahead on dry ground

around the Kaiwaka Sports Association

facilities.

The afternoon featured loads of

family fun: A treasure hunt captivated

youngsters for an hour or so with

around 200 “lucky dip” prizes awarded.

The gumboot tossing competition was

vigorously contested with Cooper Jager

winning the under-6 trophy, throwing

11.5 metres, and Callum Alexander

taking out the 7 through 12 trophy with

his 18 metre throw. The adult class was

led by Greg Campbell with an

astonishing 26-metre throw, captured on camera.

Other competitions opened up to the musical accompaniment of Happy Fish.

Three-legged races were chaotic but thankfully without injuries other than to

dignity. The egg-and-spoon races were also a trifle messy, but not as messy as

the wildly popular egg toss & catch competition that followed…. Prizes won for

all events were donated by local businesses, as were the many offerings on an

instant auction table.

The highlight of the evening had to be the creative lanterns, many of which were

produced by participants at the lantern workshop table on the day. First prize

went to Amara Ashton; prizes for most creative and for best kids’ lanterns were

also awarded.

Moonlight bathed the lantern parade as it wound

around Kaiwaka streets. As the procession returned to

the pavilion Circus Kumarani kicked off their fire

show, drawing a throng of spectators.

Hot drinks, hand warming and marshmallow toasting

at braziers completed the perfect family outing.

Incredibly generous sponsors from all around the

community are too many to list but are mentioned on

the web page at www.lanternfestival.nz.

The date for Kaiwaka’s 2025 Lantern Festival is

tentatively set for Saturday 14 June 2025, and

planning is set to kick off in a few weeks’ time!

OTAMATEA HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

DISTRICT 9910

In the middle of July we

had the chance to be

involved in Auckland,

with the change of

officers for our District

9910. This position is

held for a year and last

year’s DG was Neil Murray, whose

main focus was mental health and

youth.

It is always interesting to hear about the

achievements of the award winners –

projects they have undertaken in their

communities. One initiative that many

clubs

have

been

involved with is the

Healing Gardens in the

new wing of North

Shore Hospital.

Jenn Wong will be our

District Governor for

the coming year, and we

were excited to hear about her plans. As

part of this position, Jenn is expected to

visit all Clubs within her District (32

clubs in all) at least once – quite a feat

considering that the District extends

beyond the top half of the North Island,

through to the Pacific, including

Norfolk Island, Vanuatu and New

Caledonia.

Jenn has set us four priorities to

consider for the year:

Increase our Impact,

Expand our Reach,

Enhance Participant Engagement

and Increase ability to adapt.

She has given some ideas for us to work

on in these areas. The best thing about

having her visit, is so she can get to

know us as a Club, what our aspirations

are for the year and how we can work

together with other Rotary clubs as well

as other community organizations.

DARGAVILLE CLUB

I was able to join Dargaville for their

changeover earlier the same week.

Again, it is great to be able to see the

projects that the Dargaville club has

showcased for the year. A highlight of

the evening was the entertainment

provided by a group from Dargaville

Little Theatre. They had recently

finished a season of the Wizard of Oz

so their items came from that as well as

several items from Grease. It is always

great to see young people performing in

such

professional

manner.

Our new President, Tim,

will be back with us later

this month. We are

looking

forward

with

interest to find out how he

sees

progressing

through the coming year,

so watch this space.

If you would like to know

any more about Rotary,

please don’t hesitate to get

in touch with any Rotarian

or give me a call – 021

journey is marked by a dedication to nurturing both

individuals and collective success. I enjoy the

RANGIORA ROAD UPGRADE

Development of Rangiora Road park (at the end of Rangiora Road, pictured) is

set to start this week. The first part of the project includes creating car and boat

trailer parking, lighting, installing a public toilet and a proper turning area for

vehicles.

The project team are working to keep some access to the area including the boat

ramp open wherever possible. However there will be times, particularly in the

first part of the work programme, that the wider area including the boat ramp and

beach access will be closed for extended periods to complete the works. During

the works period we do not recommend driving down Rangiora Road with a boat

trailer as there will be no turnaround area available at the end. There will be signs

in place, please help us

spread the message and

tell your family and

friends who normally

use the boat ramp.

The upgrades are funded

by central Government’s

Tourism Infrastructure

Fund

(TIF)

which

supports regions facing

pressure from tourism

growth. The works are

expected

completed in December.

GARDENING for the

YOUNG & OLD

JULY/AUGUST

What a different temperature

range we have experienced in

early to middle of July. Some

heavy frosts have absolutely

welcomed glorious warm, sunny days.

The forecast as I write is for heavy rain

from the north, but not cold.

A question to ponder: how do we

winter-proof our gardens?

The answer is we must raise the

temperature for the susceptible plants.

When the nights are cold protect your

tender plants with shade cloth blankets

– put the cloth over at night and

remove in the morning.

To protect your citrus remove the

summer mulch so the sun can warm the

soil and if frosts are prevalent soak the

soil around the tree with water

(watering established citrus in mid-

winter can be as valuable to their

survival as watering them in a drought

summer).

Winter is the time to give your

deciduous trees, shrubs and roses a

prune. Remove any crossing or rubbing

branches these will cause problems for

the plants in the future. Cut away any

diseased or dying parts as well.

‘Opening up’ a plant to allow good

airflow will help keep disease and pests

in check.

The Humble Spud

It is winter, don’t forget that staple

food ‘the humble spud’! In the north

potatoes can be grown. They like a ‘full

sun’ position, and once the green leaves

appear need frost protection at night.

They enjoy a light soil that is well

draining and is slightly acid. The pH

should be between 5.8 – 6.5. As the

potato tops grow (the part above the

soil) mound them up with extra soil or

straw. Do this every two to three

weeks.

Potatoes produce their best crops when

they are kept well-watered throughout

their growing season – especially

during

and

immediately

after

flowering. When the plant is creating

new tubers, water early in the day so

foliage has time to dry completely

before evening to avoid risk of

diseases. When the leaves turn yellow,

stop watering to allow the tubers to

mature before harvesting.

Potatoes are a powerhouse of essential

nutrients especially with their skins left

on!

The season for hibernation is coming to

an end – one month with a bit of luck.

So you need to start thinking of feeding

of feeding your plants again. If you use

blood and bone, remember it does not

contain potash! Sulphate of potash will

encourage the plants to produce

flowers.

Until

next

month,

great

gardening. ~ Mr Jo

KAIWAKA’S

SAFETY ISLANDS

The ‘safety islands’ in the middle of

the Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Road just

opposite the children’s playground have

been placed for pedestrians crossing the

road, but sadly the arrow markers are

always in for a battering.

The top photo shows the cone

construction as contractors try to repair

the set up again, as in photo two. Photo

three about a week later arrow signs are

rather bent and twisted.

Would a painted zebra crossing work?

KAIWAKA PRIMARY

SCHOOL

Kia ora Whanau and Community,

This week we have a photo of Wendy,

the Kaiwaka Library Librarian giving out

the Duffy books for Term 2. The students

get very excited to be given books of

their own that they get to take home,

keep forever, and share with whanau.

I want to thank the local businesses who

have contributed to help make this a

termly event. Duffy also sends authors to

talk with the children and a theatre group

once a year.

Thank you to our 5 fantastic sponsors for

supporting the Duffy Books programme :

Absolute Concrete, Kaiwaka Four

Square, Leabourn Passenger Service,

Maungaturoto & Districts Rotary, and

Oneriri Station. ~ Sharlene McCormick

DARGAVILLE BOOK SWAP

This is happening this week. Many

thanks to the library volunteers who

and getting them all onto the shelves.

Come and check what we have on those

shelves now - there's something for

everyone, and we have them for the

next six months.
