This season Kaihu have been the form team and still had to win a final. A big thank you to Southern for an awesome game. They have always been a team we have wanted to beat in the competition.

Speed has been an issue for the State Highway One township and together with the Kaipara District Council, NZ Police and the NZTA, campaigners have achieved what they are calling a ‘major breakthrough’. “We have achieved this because of the hard work of local people. Kaiwaka

resident Ruth Tidemann organised a very successful petition and made the whole town aware of what was happening and we involved our local MP Winston Peters,” said Kaiwaka Can chair, Derek Christensen. continued on page 5…

Emergency lighting needed  by Ann Morgan

The Kaiwaka community are raising funds to install ‘Pilot Operated Lighting’ and a helipad at the local rugby grounds after a recent incident highlighted the need for the emergency helicopter to be able to land at night.

 Mark Ottaway, Kaiwaka Sports Association vice president points to the proposed helipad site

“A man had a life-threatening medical emergency during the night and the rescue helicopter was not able to land at the Kaiwaka Sports Complex because the floodlights were not on,” said sports association manager, Cheryl Anderson. “This meant that an ambulance had to be dispatched for him from Wellsford, which lead to a longer wait for assistance. The man in this instance is fine, but a longer wait time could potentially mean the difference between life and death. “We want the helicopter to be able to land in Kaiwaka during the hours of darkness, as well as during the day. The operations manager at the Northland Emergency Services Trust said his suggestion is for a ‘Pilot Operated Lighting’ system to be installed at the Sports Complex.” The POL is a unit which attaches to the rugby field

floodlights and the pilot can turn the lights on from the helicopter by remote control. The cost of the lighting system is more than $2,000. “Having the rescue helicopter being able to land 24/7 will benefit our community, and I am hoping that people will see this as a worthwhile community project and be happy to donate money towards it. All donations big and small will be much appreciated for the project,” said Ms Anderson. You can donate online into the Kaiwaka Sports Association’s bank account 06-0365-0022472-00 — reference rescue helicopter, or money can be dropped off in an envelope at Jaques Four Square. There is a box behind the checkout for Sports Association money — please write Rescue Helicopter on the envelope. 

As part of their practical learning experience, students from Dargaville NorthTec have completed a 73-metre-long fence at the Kaipara District Council units in Ruawai, managed by the Dargaville Community Development Board. “We are really grateful to the NorthTec team for helping with the project.

Volunteering for daffodil day

LOCAL BODY ELECTIONS 2016

Working with the community

Daffodil Day will soon be here, and the Cancer Society Northland is asking the community to get involved in the annual appeal on Friday August 26. “In Dargaville, Thelma Bagnell’s ANZ Bank team make a huge effort with their annual raffle and sausage sizzle, and the Northern Wairoa Lions Club will oversee the Daffodil Day street collection with the President, Judy Dysart, taking the lead,” said Cancer society coordinator, Natasha Buck. “Since 2010 the Northern Wairoa Lions Club have done an amazing job. The Cancer Society wishes to acknowledge this team of people and look forward to working with them again on the upcoming Daffodil Day. They are an amazing group that have done a lot of hard work over the years.” Each day 60 New Zealanders will receive a diagnosis of cancer. “You can give hope to people with cancer by choosing to help raise money for the Cancer Society and its free support services. Funds raised assist the Cancer Society Northland to provide free supportive care and information such as supporting clients and their families, free accommodation at Domain Lodge whilst having treatment in Auckland and free cancer helpline.

“I first stood for council in 2010 — after being elected found the council was in huge disarray with both financial understanding and direction, and I resigned in 2012 as I could not get support for change. “I am re-standing with the prospect of working with good leadership. The best run councils in New Zealand are the smaller ones. “All communities have the right people to look after themselves, it is just getting the right people in the right positions.” Mr Wade says he believes the role of a council is to provide communities with infrastructure and rules with which they can function and prosper. “When rate-payers who are shareholders pay their rates, it is not a normal business transaction, as ratepayers are expecting as much of their rates back in the form of services. “One of the biggest challenges with many councils is ageing infrastructure and the ability and the affordability of replacement. “The way council does this has to be affordable to the ratepayer. I want to find the best way to achieve this.”

 Andrew Wade candidate for Kaipara District Council

He says councils should build a reputation in their duties of working alongside their ratepayers, enabling them to achieve their aims. There needs to be common goals and shared outcomes. “Jeanette and I will be retiring here and I would like to be a part of ensuring what we already have is maintained, added to, and potentials realised.” 

Activity park construction begins  by Ayla Miller

The construction of a new activity park in Maungaturoto has been dubbed a project ‘by the kids, for the kids’. A youth committee made up of Otamatea High School students and Duke of Edinburgh participants have been planning and fundraising for this project since February last year and have exceeded their funding expectations. “This wasn’t just about the project, it was also about teaching the students what a community committee looked like and how to become citizens of the future,” says committee facilitator Michelle Kemp. “Small town New Zealand lives and dies in its committees.” The group have received funding from Foundation North, New Zealand Lotteries, Pub Charities and Kaipara District Council, and the youth committee has raised over $10,000 themselves. “We are extending our plan because we have done so well with funding. We are looking at a covered seating area and, all going well, some landscaping,” says Michelle. The site has an existing concrete pad which was set over 10 years ago. “What was there before wasn’t suitable for anyone and bordering on dangerous as it was slippery and covered in moss. This project’s time had come.

Network News

It is two years since Northpower installed New Zealand’s first electric vehicle fast charge station at our Alexander Street substation in the CBD of Whangarei. Until now we have provided charging at no cost to users. By from September 1, we will be introducing a payment system but putting the rapid charger onto the ChargeNet payment system - using an RFID card that gives you access to the fast charger network. You simply have to tap it against the front of the charger to activate. The charging rate will be the same as other ChargeNet chargers around New Zealand, 25 cents per minute and 25 cents per kWh of electricity. You can find out more at charge.net.nz

“It had to happen. Our kids need recreational resources. There is a Maori proverb that says the active child flourishes, so for us it is important to keep our kids

engaged in healthy active activities.” The activity park will be suitable to bikes, scooters and skateboards and construction is estimated to take a couple of months. 

Mr Christensen says the town is long, the road winds around several difficult corners and has the two narrow bridges. “People have fought for a long time to get solutions to the problem of speeding traffic and it is also difficult when people need to pass trucks.” He says the breakthrough is also due to the work of Kaipara District Council. They set up a local community group called ‘Kaiwaka Can’ with Council staff member Annie van der Plas as a permanent liaison person and she attends all the community meetings regarding issues in the town. “Annie and the Community Liaison team, along with traffic and parks staff have worked very hard to bring NZTA to the table to work these issues through. This has been the turning point as all three groups have sat down together, along with interest and support people from the police,” said Mr Christensen.

KAIPARA LIFESTYLER August 2 - 2016

“We are very grateful to Annie and those she works with. NZTA have been creative, supportive and highly professional in the skills they have brought to the project. Now the first two major steps forward have been announced and more good things are to come but this is a great first outcome after a lot of years of hard work by many people.” Since September 2015 Council and the NZ Transport Agency have been collaboratively working with Kaiwaka Can to get a better understanding of the local issues, and to identify potential opportunities to change driver behaviour, and enhance the amenity of the road environment. “Together we are producing a Township Improvement Plan that seeks to address speeds through the township, increased pedestrian access and improved visual amenity. This plan

includes both feasible shor t terms solutions, and longer term aspirations, with some actions owned by Council, other by NZTA and others by the community. This plan is now in the final draft stages and is just a small part of what is happening in Kaiwaka.” 

Hot water advice Who should you contact if you find yourself with no hot water? Before you call an electrician or plumber, call Northpower Faults first - 0800 10 40 40 – as our operators may identify the problem on the phone. If there is a Northpower fault affecting your hot water supply, we will repair it free. However, if the fault is not caused by our network, there will be a charge for the visit. But before you call … please complete the following checklist. • Is the switch on? • Is the circuit breaker or fuse okay? • Is water leaking out of the overflow or tap?

NB: If the power has been off for several hours and you’ve still been using hot water the cylinder will need several hours to reheat again. Remember, if you have a hot water fault, call Northpower first as it could save you time and money.

Message from the Ministry of Health

Some plumbing fittings have the potential to allow minute traces of metals to accumulate in water that is standing in the fittings for several hours. Although the health risk is small, the Ministry of Health recommends you flush a mugful of water from your drinking-water tap each morning before use to remove any metals which may have dissolved from the plumbing fittings. We are recommending this simple precaution for all households, including those on public and private water supplies.

New life for old tram

Helping with walkways

 by Ayla Miller

An 103-year-old tram could be given a new lease of life after being used as a bridge on a Ruawai farm for 59 years.

Funding is available for projects that improve public access to the outdoors and groups undertaking projects to enhance access to the outdoors should consider applying for funding through the New Zealand Walking Access Commission’s Enhanced Access Fund.

 The old no. 304 tram in Ruawai in 1968 during better days

“There are many organisations doing important work to improve outdoor access. These groups often operate on small budgets and rely on sheer energy, commitment and passion. The Enhanced Access Fund is to help them achieve their goals,” said NZWAC chief executive, Eric Pyle. “A total of $56,000 is available across two funding rounds in 2016– 2017 to support projects that help secure certain and enduring access for current and future generations.” Funding will be prioritised towards projects designed to obtain certain and enduring access, such as negotiations to secure access agreements, legal or survey costs, or the cost of obtaining Resource Management Act consents. Other initiatives such as signage, installation of stiles and activities that improve existing public access are also eligible. “Improved outdoor access has a wide and lasting impact on quality of life and community resilience. Better outdoor access helps to bring communities together, helps them thrive and improves regional economies.”

The remains of the old Auckland freight tram 304 were removed last month from the Smith Canal Road farm. An Auckland based architecture student, who wishes to be known only as William, has organised the removal of the tram and will be cleaning the remains over the coming months in Whangarei. “At the moment I’m going to be cleaning it up and getting all the mud off. We have got full plans to restore the tram in the long-term future,” he says. “There are quite a few people who are interested in restoring it, especially at MOTAT in Auckland.” The tram was bought for use as a farm bridge in 1957 due to its flat deck. Over the years it deteriorated until all that was left was the chassis, crane,

and some other components, minus the drum and the jib that were stolen in the 1960s and 70s. In its previous life the carriage was known as the Auckland crane tram which was built in 1913. The no. 304 was the last tram to operate in Auckland after towing no. 253 and 248 to be relocated for preservation in Matakohe. There are also records showing it carried a brass band down Queen Street in 1919 during peace celebrations. William says the primary aim is to preserve the tram to prevent any further deterioration and he is calling for anyone with any memories or an interest in no. 304 to contact him at tkwl@orcon.net.nz. 

 Eric Pyle, chief executive of New Zealand Walking Access Commission

Funding applications for the first of the two rounds are due by September 30. Application forms, guidelines and further details about the application process are available on the Enhanced Access Fund page of the Commission’s website. 

Helping locals help locals Pride of place  by Ann Morgan

 by Ann Morgan

Tinopai Volunteer Emergency Services Incorporated are holding a book fair and cake stall to help raise funds to erect a building to house the Tinopai Rural Volunteer Fire Force vehicles and a North Kaipara Coastguard rescue vessel.

The Kaiwaka War Memorial Hall committee have refurbished the old entrance doors to the building to display the roll of honour from World Wars I and II for all to see. “The hall was built in 1952 and they had two honours boards built on either side of the stage,” said acting committee secretary, Lindsey Hargreaves. “When the 100-year Anzac celebrations were approaching the committee wanted to do something different as part of our hall upgrade project and thought it would be nice if the community and visitors could see the names of the people on the boards more clearly. We decided to put the names of those who attended the wars on the outside of the building for the public to be able to see.” Committee member Mark Ottaway thought incorporating the names onto the entrance doors would be fitting and that would give them pride of place. “The Kaiwaka Sports Association sponsored the work for us and committee member Ad Clarijs arranged the etching.” The two doors originally had three glass windows each. These have been changed to a single pane of thick safety glass, with the names etched into the glass. “People have enjoyed seeing their family names displayed. It is

“The idea came when the Dargaville Library were donating books to local groups,” said organiser, Jo Smith. “My husband Walter asked if it was possible for our group to acquire some and they happily gave us 40 boxes of fantastic books.

Hot trends for home makeovers  by Andy Bryenton

With the local property market trending upward despite the wintry weather, many folks around the region will be looking to their interior design projects this August. It’s a good thing, too, as the current season’s rain and cold put a literal dampener on any outdoor improvements to the home. Even appliances are part of this shift toward the professional look, with steel and brushed aluminium ever more popular. Interlocking water-safe wood-panelled flooring for the kitchen allows a smooth transition from here into the dining and living area and is also useful in that other high-priority area for any home makeover — the bathroom. Angular chrome tapware and fittings take pride of place next to the new must have — his and hers basins to separate the shaving brush and cologne from the makeup and nail file. Another smart choice — a combination heat lamp, light and extractor to provide warmth and expel steam, making the bathroom easier to keep free of mould and damp in the long term. A true country living area would not be complete without a fireplace and many of those coming north from the city to seek a lifestyle retirement here will settle for nothing less.

But there’s lots to do indoors and the latest eclectic style, mixing the stark and simple with the baroque and bohemian lends itself perfectly to a creative winter project or two. Crisp, clean walls with little adornment, dark carpets or pale wood-grained flooring and a quirky mix of feature colours and faux-found furniture make up the palette for a thoroughly modern makeover. In the kitchen, it’s all about space to work and ease of access. A big ‘island’ workstation is a must and there’s a trend — perhaps begun by television chefs — toward utilitarian steel surfaces replacing stone, or complementing it.

Depend on laser electrical for superior interiors!

However, if the thought of splitting firewood daily is already hurting your back, an unobtrusive new style heat pump is also a good look for the lounge. Correctly installed it can both heat and cool, and gone are the days of the immense beige ‘bread box’ as your only option. Dark wool carpet and feature-coloured floor to ceiling thermal drapes frame the scene, with one or two examples of original artwork — perhaps from our local galleries to add Kaipara authenticity — replacing tired old prints on the walls. No matter what direction you wish to take in your renovation, remember that your own vision is what matters. Be individual, be bold and don’t hesitate to call the professionals if you need a little help here or there making it a reality. In the end, your home should reflect your personality and be a place of refuge and comfort from the outside world. 

CHANGING ROOMS Demand for character homes high  by Andy Bryenton

With the national news dominated by debates and arguments over Auckland’s housing crisis, it’s no surprise that many Aucklanders are looking north for the opportunity to achieve a better lifestyle. This shift in focus — with searches for Northland property topping the charts online during early 2016 — has seen high demand for characterful homes with history, sea and country views, and of course that holy grail of many retiring city folks — a piece of land to call their own. The team at Ray White Jean Johnson Realty have been in the thick of it, putting in the same long hours and many of the region’s other real estate professionals — and perhaps, if recent accolades are anything to go by, even more. Recently the Dargaville-based agency has attended the Ray White group’s awards evening, scooping honours for business growth — a sign of the times, perhaps. Certainly, the ‘sold’ stickers are proliferating across their portfolio, leading to a silver medal in this category. Jean, Kelvin and the

team also took home a top award for community involvement, thanks in part to their charity drives for causes like Ronald McDonald House, and the organisation of community events as diverse as antique appreciation days and professional wrestling shows. Across the district the interest in Kaipara property seems unabated by wintry rain and gales.  Jean Johnson, Lee Cocurullo, Amber Pocklington and Kelvin Windsor of Ray White Jean Johnson One top tip for those looking to get into the investment been bought by investors living in and selling in the same market.

Helping preserve history

Advice pays off

 by Ann Morgan

Thanks to an observant member of the Dargaville community and a fast response time for the local police, five youths were arrested at the scene of a burglary on the night of Sunday, July 24. The group of youths aged between 13 and 17 years old, were arrested for breaking and entering an unoccupied commercial building on the corner of Gladstone Street and Cranley Street at about 8pm. “We put it out into the media encouraging the community to report any suspicious activity and that is exactly what has happened on Sunday night,” said Senior Sergeant Rob Huys. “A member of the public saw suspicious activity at the building and called it in.” He said police are on high alert for this type of call. They responded immediately and were able to catch the offenders on site. They arrested the males approximately two or three minutes after they entered the premises. “This result rewards the

public for taking notice of our advice and acting on that.” There were another five commercial burglaries reported in the area that weekend and police say they are continuing to make enquiries to determine whether or not there is a link between this recent arrest and the other incidents. “We are considering all options and maintaining our focus on this investigation to make sure something gets done to stop these burglaries from happening again.” Senior Sergeant Huys advises commercial businesses to avoid holding large amounts of cash on their premises and for members of the community to continue to report suspicious behaviour to the police by calling 111.

Keeping the classics rolling  by Andy Bryenton

There’s no logical reason why certain people are attracted to the allure of classic and vintage vehicles. Sure, if you ask them, they might hint at appreciating values and barn finds which put once-unobtainable rolling steel within the reach of mortals. But the reality of classic and vintage ownership is usually one of hard work, meticulous restoration and endless repairs. The simple fact that you may have once thrilled to the sight of a brand new E-Type or Thunderbird dominating the highways of your youth isn’t enough reason to attempt the equivalent of automotive resurrection, is it? Surely not. There’s something more, which may boil down to our very human desire to give personality and its properties to the inanimate. It seems cruel and somehow ungrateful to let an old tractor or bulldozer rust away when it’s achieved so much for us humans. It’s almost a crime to watch a car which was once all chrome and power and promise fill up with gorse. If you know what that feels like, you’re susceptible to the classic bug. It may have already got you. That’s not to say that a restored masterpiece of old-time engineering and design must be a waxed and fragile Sunday driver. Take for example the World War Two vintage Mack which

carries Dargaville company Farrand and Mason’s crane. While other vehicles have refits to just keep moving, this Mack has been refitted more times because the laws around heavy machinery have changed down the years. The crane on its back helped build the Dargaville town hall. It was once bolted to the deck of a REO truck built not long after the death of Queen Victoria. But call the lads, and it’ll be round at your place lifting heavy loads — for a nominal fee, of course. Because, as those bitten by the classic bug tell you, they don’t make them like they used to. It’s the same at Dargaville Carriers, who operate a Bedford hauler that’s long in the tooth — but still ready to work hard. This firm’s trucks were known to regularly drop by Invercargill, so miles on the clock don’t necessarily mean parlous wear and tear. Of course, for those with a classic in the shed, the constant need for more time, more money, and more hard to find spare parts creates an often irksome excuse for being off the road. But we’re working toward something. That perfect day with no rain, when everything fires up as it should, and a

Dining & ENTERTAINMENT Hunting for the perfect Winter fare  by Andy Bryenton

There’s plenty of reasons to brave the cold this month, and not least of them is the chance to bag some generous prizes along with your wild pork and watercress. Speaking of that traditional Kiwi tucker, the Barry Crump novel of the same name has had an amazing run at the box office in film form — transformed by cinematic genius Taika Waititi into the longest running New Zealand film ever shown at Dargaville’s Anzac Theatre. And, co-incidentally, all over the nation! The rugged bushman Uncle Hec from ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’ would love to see this month’s schedule of events around the Kaipara. It kicks off with the Kaiwaka boar hunt at the start of the month, and rounds up with the great annual Aratapu boar hunt at the end. Wily bushcraft and hunting skills will be put to the test, along with angling abilities as the Aratapu card

adds snapper to the big tuskers in the prize pool. Both events promise good country hospitality, food, live music and a yarn or two about the ones that got away! Elsewhere, there’s a new option for dining out or delivery to your door in Dargaville. The Dargaville Pizza and Indian Restaurant occupies the big orange building at the north end of Normanby St, and those interviewed by your dining guide gourmand agree that their cooking is top notch. Dial in some hot fresh pizza or a piping hot curry, prepared by a master with 15 years’ experience. Best pick — the mango chicken curry with garlic and cheese naan and a mango lassi to drink.

 Hunters and spectators at a previous Boar Hunt in Kaiwaka

In Paparoa the new Thirsty Raven is off to a great start, with a sublime blend of Kiwi aesthetics, delicious repasts and of course ice cold refreshments. Stop by and visit the new crew behind the taps

at this vivacious establishment blending the best of old and new. And no matter what you do this winter, be sure to enjoy the best of everything tasty the Kaipara has to offer! 
