KAIWAKA MEDIA GROUP Annual General Meeting

Monday 16 January 2017 5pm Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall

All welcome

OTAMATEA WARD ELECTED COUNCILLORS Three councillors were elected from the Otamatea ward – myself from Paparoa, Jonathan Larsen from Topuni and Peter Wethey from Mangawhai. Since the election we have had our swearing in ceremony, several induction days to get up to speed with the workings of Council and local government, and a full Council meeting. We have also had a number of community groups or organisations come to meet with us to help us understand what is going on in our communities. We look forward to more of these over the next month or so. If your group is interested in making a half an hour presentation about projects in your area, contact Sean at KDC [email protected]. Even though we are elected by our ward, it is important for all of us to get up to speed with the needs and activities of the whole district. There are a number of issues facing the Council including the perennial one of road maintenance and improvement. With 1500km of unsealed roads in Kaipara district and large debt it is an ongoing challenge. However if there is an issue in your area make sure you do contact the Council on [email protected] or phone 0800 727059. If you wish to contact me as one of your local Councillors I am available on [email protected] or 021 2080093. Regards, Libby Jones

Summertime greetings to you all. We got the rid of the November blows to those that it affected and had a lovely few last days of the month. We had a lovely sunny greeting to the last month of the year with a light breeze. School holidays are nearly upon us so extra care is needed with traffic and coping with the shops with more people in them plus the extra summertime happenings. Well what a windy November. If you were sheltered you were fortunate as it never ceased till late in the month. The temperatures are creeping up now. We recorded 23 degrees a couple of days ago. The rainfall at our house for November 2016 was 104mm and November 2015 was 61mm. The year to date is 1415mm and 2015 was 1016mm. Our wettest 11 months since 1987 was 1990 with 1938mm and the driest 11 months since 1987 was 1994 with 888mm. Our wettest November since 1987 was 1999 with 340mm and the driest was 1994 with 20mm. We had rain on 9 days of the month this year and 2015 we had rain on 7 days of the month. Only 13 days to Christmas (depending when you get your Bugle) and 18 days until we start a new calendar year. One night a Viking named Rudolph the Red was looking out the window when he said “It is going to rain.” His wife asked “How do you know.” He replied “Because Rudolph knows rain, dear.” Have a happy and safe festive season to you all and please take care as yes, it can happen to you. ~Bev

The Kaiwaka Sports Association's seventh annual multi-sport event, the Top of the Rock, will be held on Sunday 12th February. The event caters for walkers, runners and mountain bikers, both recreational and competitive as there are a range of options: 5km or 11km walk or run 10km run + 15km mountain bike ride 10km or 30km mountain bike route

plus, a fun bike course for under 10 year olds Routes travel through some of Kaiwaka's most scenic countryside – bush, lakes and farmland. And you get the opportunity to climb iconic Baldrock Mountain, which is easier than the daunting view from the road suggests, as there is a well formed track which spirals around the mountain. You don't need to be concerned about your fitness level as there is no time limit on completing the events and we even have marshalls in utes following the tailenders who will give you a ride

back if you get tired! Participants of all ages enter Top of the Rock, from pre-schoolers upwards – last year the $50 prize for the oldest participant went to a 79 year old! TV3's Brendon 'Money Man' Johnson will host the prizegiving with prizes for placegetters as well as lots of great spot prizes, including a mountain bike. Last year there were over 400 particpants and we are hoping to build on that number this time. Please note that there will be NO ENTRIES ON THE DAY – the last day to enter is Friday 10th February. Entry forms can be downloaded from www.kaiwakasports.co.nz Enquiries, please contact Cheryl Anderson on [email protected]

KAIWAKA WAR MEMORIAL HALL

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year from the Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall Committee and the Kaiwaka Movie Group. A year in retrospect… We all have worked hard to re-establish the Kaiwaka Movies, back into a regular meeting place for young and old and make it as comfortable as possible, with the new big cushions for the kids to sit on and the two extra big fans to keep you cool. This year we have: installed carpets throughout the hall, foyer and Supper Room;

built a tuckshop, including an icecream freezer;

created under-stage storage for the tables;

finished painting the outside of the hall;

installed new LED outside lights, these have been running for four months;

the front entrance doors now show the names from the Honour Boards for WW1 and WW2 on the glass; these were unveiled in August as an ANZAC 100 project, and include reinforced safety glass in both doors;

after flooding our hall toilet ceilings twice we convinced the KDC to reposition the pump that supplies water to their public toilets; it’s now outside in a specially designed pumphouse;

Our regular “Dinner and Movie Nights” (twice a year) and our popular “Music/Movie and Supper Night” (twice a year) are becoming a popular community event. We have had two very successful movies run as fundraisers for Rotary. Our special ANZAC Day movie was a great success, with profits going to the Hakaru RSA. We wish you all a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year, from the Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall Committee and Kaiwaka Movie Group.

~Ad Clarijs, Chairman

UPDATE ON KAIWAKA SPEED

PROPOSALS When NZ Transport Authority proposed to make all of Kaiwaka a 60kph speed zone, the community expressed its opposition very clearly. We did not believe you solve a speed problem by raising the limit. But there is a problem, the temporary 50 problem. This temporary zone was put in more than six years ago when a slip was being repaired. Now it has to go because it has no legal status. That means if our objections were successful, and NZTA has certainly heard us, then the current 70 coming north would end right outside the bakery car park, hardly the best place for motorists taking time to react to a different speed limit. Reluctantly therefore Kaiwaka Can has told NZTA that our absolute preference is 50kph right through Kaiwaka but failing that, we will work with the 60kph speed limit. We have made it clear though that the supporting measures promised, need to be in place as well. This includes threshold treatments each end of the town, better signage and speed signage on the roadway through the town. We have also asked for urgent action on a pedestrian safety zone in the area near the cheese shop, a real danger for anyone crossing there. The underpass beneath the bridge is either too difficult for some or not seen by most. In addition we have asked for serious consideration of a number of other features, mainly footpaths at the northern end of town and also a pedestrian safety zone between Four Square and the Memorial Hall. We also believe another “Your speed is…” sign would make a great difference, one for traffic going south as the one for northbound traffic appears to be having a real impact. Now we wait and see. Thank you to all who supported the original petition and protest. We still look for a safer and brighter Kaiwaka for all of us and for visitors as well. Derek Christensen, Kaiwaka Can

~Warm regards, Rosie Ellis Kaiwaka School Pumpkin Competition How are everyone's pumpkin seedlings coming along? They should be well on their way now, however, I'm sure it's not too late to get some seeds in or to buy a pumpkin seedling. Let me know if you need any more seeds. You may have to shelter your seedling from the wind. Also be alert for any slugs, snails and greenfly. Oh, and remember the sheep poo!

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

Season’s Greetings to all. Closed for holidays The library will be closed for a couple of weeks over the festive season. Our last day will be Friday 23 December, and we reopen again on Wednesday 4 January. Our regular hours are 4pm to 6pm Mondays, and 10am to 2pm Wednesdays to Saturdays. Dargaville book swap Many thanks to all the hands who helped out at the swap last week. It made a huge job a much smaller one, with a bit of fun along the way. Lovely to catch up with Vera, who was a library volunteer before she moved away, and have her help on the day, too. There’s now a new range of books on our Dargaville shelves for you to browse. We’ve got them until June next year. There are some DVDs, too. Until next year, ~Wendy

SAFETY on the ROAD for OURSELVES and

OTHERS Without wanting to make a big noise, we Kaiwaka folk are having to take a stand on highway safety. Kaiwaka Can led by Derek Christensen has negotiated patiently with Council and Government authorities and reluctantly accepts a 60km control on speeding cars and trucks. To not accept 60 risks an imposed road speed of 70. The authorities won't accept 50! Nevertheless, the Kaiwaka's community voice has been heard. Under a proposed traffic code, a small community is able to be heard when big guys like the Road Transport Association, the National Carriers rep, the AA and Council talk to NZTA. A small victory for us. We applaud Derek and his people for their efforts. Road safety here must include: * A “Your Speed Is ..." sign north of The Coffeepot and Mountain Creek Bridge * 60km painted warning signs on the road * Protected off-road parking. We do not want more injuries and deaths. Or, our masters should note, highway closures and diversions.

The Zonta Club of Mangawhai has been holding knitting bees weekly over the last few months in preparation for their "knit-bomb" of the large oak tree located outside the Art Gallery in the village. On the evening of Fri 25th members braved the rain and gathered to wrap, stitch, climb, stretch and decorate the tree to the curiosity of local residents. The following morning they hosted, along with their life-size orange dolls, an advocacy stall at the village market, distributing orange ribbons and Zonta Says No bookmarks with all proceeds earmarked for Women's Refuge. To continue the 16 days of activism the orange dolls will be providing static displays in the local library, museum, chemist and op shop, and watch out for Zonta Says No messages with appropriate statistics on the Zonta and the local Facebook pages. The club is delighted with the visibility and impact of their initiative, and the support from the local community.

ABEL TASMAN'S NEW ZEALAND CHRISTMAS

The first celebration of Christmas in New Zealand coincided with Abel Tasman’s voyage to New Zealand in 1642. On 20 December, his expedition reached the Manawatu coast of the North Island before crossing the entrance of Cook Strait and anchoring east of Stephens and D'Urville islands. Here the crew encountered what many Wellingtonians have become used to at Christmas time – poor weather. While sheltering from a storm, the Dutch enjoyed the first Christmas dinner in New Zealand – freshly killed pork from the ship's menagerie washed down with extra rations of wine.

CHRISTMAS BECOMES A

PUBLIC HOLIDAY It's hard for most of us today to imagine Christmas Day not being a holiday, but a day off on 25 December hasn't always been a legal entitlement. Christmas, like New Year and Easter, came to New Zealand with the earliest European settlers. At first it was a common-law holiday – a custom but not a legal right. In the mid-19th century, 25 December (unless it was a Sunday) was just another working day for many people although some of the provinces (such as Otago) made it a holiday. Shops and pubs often opened. Newspapers were published on Christmas Day, some of them even into the early 20th century. In some early issues, Christmas was not even mentioned. The 25 December 1841 edition of the New Zealand Gazette was no different from any other issue of the paper. New Zealand's first holiday law was the Bank Holidays Act 1873, modelled on British legislation, which confirmed the banks' existing practice of closing on 25 December and certain other holidays. ~ nzhistory.govt.nz

What a Year! The weather is heating up, which means only one thing, Summer is almost here. Here at Kaiwaka Cares we know that with Christmas it can be a challenging time whatever your situation. We hope that you find company in others and also are able to navigate this time in a way that enables your sanity and health to stay intact. I hope you have lots of enjoyment and stay safe over the holiday period. Neighbourhood Support A number of our team are working with Maria Paikea and Barry Wallace to help facilitate the setting up of a Neighbour Support network here in Kaiwaka. Because we are a little bit of town and country it is important that we all look out for one another. This group is continuing to develop and will work closely with emergency service groups, civil defence and social support groups to make sure that whatever is ahead for Kaiwaka that we all make it through together. The Year as it Was This year has been a particularly turbulent one for our group. We have had a number of changes of volunteers as people move on to other journeys in their lives. The biggest challenge we faced was the loss of Scott to our group. I can never fully express how amazing our community was in their support of Helen and Scott’s family and of our team as we journeyed through what had occurred. The strength and love within our community is never more prevalent than when faced with adversity. Thank you will never seem like quite enough. As we come to the end of the year we are all looking forward to what will be for the new year. We have big plans

for a number of projects that have been on the burner finally coming to the fore. One of the groups that we are working more and more with is the Kaiwaka Foodbank with Aunty Ma and Rau. They are such amazing examples of what one person can do to assist others. It is a great honour to be able to support them in what they do and we look forward to working together more in the new year. What do you want for the New Year? We have a number of plans in the pipeline for the New Year. Is there anything you are wishing and hoping to happen in Kaiwaka. If so let us know either by popping in to say hi and tell us or email [email protected] Moving into 2017 In an ideal world we would stay open right through the holiday season. Saying that, we all have families and other commitments that need our attention. We will be finishing up for the year on Friday 16 December 2016 and reopening on Monday 9 January 2017. If you need us in the meantime for anything please email [email protected] as I will be checking it a couple of times a day to deal with anything urgent that comes up. On behalf of Beth Stone, Helen Marsh and myself we wish you and your whanau the very best of joy, love and laughter over the coming weeks. We hope you have a time of togetherness and love and of course peace. Please keep safe as we want to see each and every one of you in the New Year.

CHRISTMAS SMILE One Christmas a big department store posted this sign: ‘The Value of a Smile: it costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive it, without impoverishing those who give it. It happens in a flash, and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich that they can get along without it, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits. It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and nature’s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is no earthly good until it is given away. And if in the last minute rush of Christmas buying some of our salespeople should be too tired to give you a smile, may we ask you to leave one of yours. For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give!’ Start a chain reaction this Christmas! Walk round around with a smile on your face and see what happens. “I smiled on them … my cheerful face gave them comfort” Job 29:24 Ref. Word for Today
