In 2015 there were 27 missions between January and June in the Kaipara region compared with 48 over the same time this year. Of these 48 missions, 24 were accidents, 19 were medical call outs, four were hospital transfers and one

was unspecified. NEST ambassador and Ruawai businessman, Anthony Blundell, says these figures show there is increasing pressure on their services. “It is more important than ever with the release of these statistics, to encourage people and community

They provide an essential service to NEST at ground level with the incidents they attend. “Our helipad based at Ruawai College is working well. In just over a year it has been used seven times. From a Kaipara perspective, Northland Rescue Helicopter services are an integral part of the emergency services offered in the region.” Chief pilot and CEO, Peter Turnbull, says pilots and St John paramedics have had to become even more efficient and focussed during these missions as a result of this increase. There has also been a rise in night missions compared to previous

years with 156 so far this year all over Northland. “Night rescues paired with the unpredictable weather at this time of year has meant we are using the full capability of the aircraft during a lot of our missions. “Our night vision goggles and GPS routes have been extremely useful and allowed us to get on with our rescues despite the conditions and time of day,” says Mr Turnbull. Missions included a mix of accident and emergency callouts and flying patients from small rural communities in Northland to Whangarei and Auckland Hospitals. 

School holiday creativity

Dairy robbers sentenced Dargaville men, 28-year-old John Michael Paniora and 22-year-old Israel Tribble, were arrested on August 21 last year and charged with robbing the Hilltop Dairy on Awakino Road, Dargaville at gunpoint on August 11. Mr Paniora appeared in the Whangarei District Court on July 6. Judge Keith de Ridder sentenced him

to 21 months in jail but gave him leave to apply for home detention saying he was not the main player in the robbery as he did not carry the gun. Mr Tribble was sentenced on November 12, 2015 before Judge Greg Davis to a four-year and two months’ jail term for his role in the robbery.

Grandparents raising grandchildren  by Ann Morgan

The Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Trust New Zealand is a registered not for profit organisation that provides nationwide support services to full time grandparent carers in New Zealand. Dianah Roberts is now the KaiwakaWellsford Grandparents Raising Grandchildren coordinator after having spent three years as the coordinator in Kaitaia. “We help grandparents who find themselves raising their children’s children and don’t know what to do. The best possible outcome is for children to stay in their families. Many people have had to lay aside their own lives to care for their grandchildren for one reason or another,” said Dianah. “At times they give up their jobs. It is quite a lifestyle change and we are here to help support and guide them through the legal processes and anything else they may need to know.” Dianah says it is important the grandparents understand their entitlements, and have the knowledge of what is going to happen when family conferences and court is involved. “Carers often think ‘what do I do, how and why’. Everyone needs direction at certain times in life and this is often one of those times. There are no books out there to say this is what you do in this given circumstance in life.” Dianah says understanding what is happening to children as they are growing is an important part of caring for them and the carers need support too.

LOCAL BODY ELECTIONS 2016

A fresh approach

Knowledge and experience

Twenty-six-year-old landscape designer Peter Boyd is hoping to bring a younger perspective to the Kaipara District Council.

Rob Stevenson is Kaipara born and bred and farms a 300 hectare property in the Tangowahine Valley and is putting his name forward as a candidate for the Northland Regional Council Kaipara Ward.

He is standing for the Dargaville ward in the upcoming local body elections after a number of approaches from community members. Mr Boyd grew up on a local sheep and beef farm and returned to the area in 2014 after completing a Bachelor of Architectural Studies in Landscape Architecture from Victoria University in Wellington. “The Kaipara has incredible potential and I will continue to be active in assisting the communities to take advantage of that,” said Mr Boyd. “Since returning home I have been involved with organisations including the Dargaville Business Forum, the Dargaville Arts Association and the Dargaville Community Development Board.” He has also been involved in the organisation of local events and as a landscape designer he has been preparing the Dargaville Placemaking Vision Guide for the Kaipara District Council. This will guide future improvements throughout the town. “I hear a lot of people ask how do we attract more people my age to the area. One key component of this is having a proactive council that is seen to be forward thinking and providing quality infrastructure,” says Mr Boyd.

 Peter Boyd is putting his hand up to stand for the Dargaville ward in the upcoming local body elections

“Now more than ever it is important for our community to support the changes they want to see and shape our future. “I am standing because I care about this district and I want to leave it in a better state than it is in now. I will work on communication and transparency through an open relationship with the public, and I also plan to use social media to connect with people as well as talk to them face to face.” He would like to encourage everyone to get out and vote this election to change the face of the future.

“I want to see rates dollars hitting the issues on the ground and not being wasted on complex bureaucracy. I am an approachable Kiwi bloke, with a robust passion for Northland and the people who reside here,” Mr Stevenson says. “I bring a thorough understanding of the area and a driving passion to bring a strong, stable, inspirational governance to help Kaipara and Northland reach its collective potential, both economically and environmentally.” Rob started work as a forestry labourer and hammer hand.

Kaurilands house completed  by Ayla Miller

Council on the move The Northland Regional Council’s Dargaville office is on the move from its long-held Victoria St base, to shared space in the existing Kaipara District Council building.

Four Kaurilands service users have now moved into their brand new home which has been in the making for one and a half years. Kaurilands general manager Karen Duncan says the four bedroom home which has been named River View, will mean the service users have more independence. “They will be running their own house.

 Gary Treadgold, regional council area manager Dargaville, moving to shared offices at the Kaipara District Council

The regional council’s office is currently home to four full-time Kaipara staff. This includes area manager Gary Treadgold, a customer relations officer, a biosecurity advisor and a land management officer. All four staff will keep their jobs and Mr Treadgold says the shift to the KDC’s nearby offices at 42 Hokianga Rd is a commonsense one. “This is just another case where Northland’s local authorities are working more closely together and sharing services where possible to gain efficiencies on behalf of our shared

ATTENTION SEPTIC TANK OWNERS Septic tanks and multi-stage septic systems are delicately balanced environments. It does not take much to upset them. Common practice is to ignore the septic system until problems occur. Good and best economical practice is to always keep your septic system well maintained. A malfunctioning septic system can become a health hazard. When a system is not maintained or operated as a delicately balanced environment, problems occur. These problems include nasty odours, leach line blockages, untreated liquid rising to the surface, toilets gurgling and taking time to empty. At this stage your septic system is a serious health hazard to you and your children. Human waste produces faecal coliform bacteria, a source of viral and bacterial gastroenteritis as well as Hepatitis A debilitatand other diseases. Hepatitis can be a debilitat ing condition and cause long-term harm to children. There are only three remedies. One: stop using the septic system until it recovers. This can take

ratepayer base and make it easier for our customers.” Mr Treadgold says many enquiries into the Dargaville office are done via phone and those customers would notice little change in their dealings with the council. “For others visiting us in person, it could be useful having access to both councils in the one location.” The move is scheduled for Monday, July 11. The regional council’s Dargaville phone number will remain unchanged despite the shift. They can be contacted on 09 439 3300. 

Save money by keeping your septic system effective and healthy

over a month and is not normally practical. Two: excavate your septic system and relocate it. This is very costly and time consuming, sometimes requiring new resource consents and different systems. Three: treat your septic system with Septi-Cure™ every six months. Septi-Cure is cost effective. By far the most cost effective solution is to pour one litre of Septi-Cure™ down the toilet bowl every six months. This simple action will help keep your system working at top efficiency by reducing solids and scum. Instead of emptying your tank frequently, the reduction in solids and scum saves you expensive pump out costs. Your irrigation field and leach lines will become clear of slimes and blockages so nature can handle the gradual seepage and evaporation for you. When this is happening your system will be operating effectively and not endangering you or your family’s health. What is Septi-Cure™ Septi-Cure™ is a concentrated mixture of selected naturally occurring

microorganisms. These harmless tiny organisms live and multiply by feeding on waste material. When introduced to your septic tank system, they go to work straight away digesting waste material, reducing solids and scum, allowing your septic system to start operating to its maximum efficiency. As they progress through to your irrigation field they feed on the slimes that prevent seepage and evaporation. When seepage and evaporation return to normal, you have reduced the risk of contaminating groundwater and the environment as well as reducing the chances of infection for you and your family. Eventually, they get washed out of the system and have to be replaced to continue their work. This is why you introduce Septi-Cure™ to your septic system every six months for maximum efficiency. Problematic septic tanks – treat with Septi-Cure™. Prevent septic system problems – treat with Septi-Cure™.

A satisfied customer in Hamilton has been using Septi-Cure for over five years. He says this allows them to have an odour free septic tank with low maintenance costs. He also says that his service person is amazed at how well Septi-Cure works, keeping their tank in very good condition. * Results May Vary Before*

Gull opening in Wellsford

Joe and Stacey Dodd have owned the Wellsford Foursquare, known as the ‘Top Shop’, for four months and say they are loving the experience.

“I have worked in New World and Pak n Save in management positions for many years and moved around a bit with the job. It was always my plan to own my own business and we were given the opportunity to have this store, so we grabbed it,” says Joe. “I love being hands on and serving the public. It’s all about giving a good deal and good products. I like the challenge as well.” The couple hire 17 local staff and have big plans for the store including continuing to extend their range of new products. “We have a new produce case arriving soon for our fruit and vegetables and we have added lots of new items which our customers have been asking for. Quality is important and we are focussing on increasing the range of our fresh fruit, meat and vegetables. “We have sponsored many local

events already including the Wellsford School breakfast club, plunket and kindergarten. It is important to help our local community and give back where we can, especially with nutritious products to feed the children such as apples, bananas and bread. “Our carpark is under construction with the new self service Gull Station being built. When the project is complete we will have 12 new sealed carparks. We will be getting a set of new shopping trolleys as well. The project should be complete in eight weeks. “We still have car parks available throughout the upgrade. I appreciate our customers’ patience until the construction is finished. “We have enjoyed transitioning into the town, it is a really positive here and the community have definitely welcomed us.” 

They don’t want to wait in a line and paying at the pump is the fastest way to get your fuel,” Mr Bodger says. “Parents love self-serve stations because you don’t have to get the children out of the car to go inside and pay. Everything is right there at the pump. We have looked at properties in and around Dargaville as well but haven’t found a suitable premises yet. When we turn up we look to make a difference for the fuel price in the market — it all is relevant to opening a service station.” 

Delivering the X factor  by Andy Bryenton

Mahindra’s tough, no-nonsense pair of utilities — the Pik-up and the Genio — have been well received worldwide thanks to their very affordable price and the surprising value for money this represents. Now the Indian automaker — the world’s largest single producer of diesel engines — has crossed over from work to play, bringing their XUV 500 sports utility to Kiwi shores. All new, all upgraded, and packing a suite of enhancements which would be the envy of many pricier competitors — does the XUV deliver an X factor which will overcome the reticence of adopting a new brand? After all, there are two very good reasons why ‘Indian made’ is a thoroughly reputable claim. The subcontinent is the home of advanced

microprocessors — the core of most computers. It’s also the place where new Jaguar luxury cars are built. Mahindra also know exactly how tough the conditions are on Indian roads. This means the XUV 500 — for all its modern lines and interior luxury — is at heart a true sports utility. Nothing less would be designed to survive the hard knocks which driving in its homeland can dish out. This focus on serious underpinnings means lots of smoothly delivered torque is on offer, thanks to a variable geometry turbocharger system and 2.2 litres of diesel grunt. Not vast, by American

standards, but certainly enough to feel measured and competent through the six-speed auto box. Put the Mahindra up against anything in its price bracket and it’s just as planted, just as sure footed. But there’s the rub, of course. There’s next to nothing in the XUV 500’s price bracket at all — and nothing within a country mile of offering the same features for less. Those features include seven full sized leather seats, touch screen controlled multimedia centre with

navigation, reversing cameras, projector headlamps which follow the arc of the steering wheel on the bends, aircon, a tinted sunroof and more. Prices start for under 40k, which is less than the cost of some tiny hatchbacks. It’s enough to make even the most loyal fan of Japanese or European steel think twice, especially as, unlike some offerings from nations new to the auto market, the Indian designers at Mahindra have fashioned a fairly handsome beast as well. 

Police appeal for witnesses On the July 3 around 1.30pm, a two car non-injury collision occurred at the junction of State Highway 12 and Matakohe East Rd. A grey sedan failed to stop at a stop sign and impacted with the side

of a ute travelling west on SH12. If you witnessed this crash or have further information, please contact Sergeant Mackay at the Dargaville Police Station on 09 439 3400.

Reading the signs to stay safe  by Andy Bryenton

With winter weather well and truly upon us, it’s a good time to take a hard look at safety on the road — a task which begins in the garage or on the driveway. Knowing the signs which point to deterioration or wear and tear on vital automotive components is a vital skill set and one which can prevent not just accident and injury, but also major repair costs. The major point of contact with the road is right under your car’s tyres. The four contact patches of rubber which transmit hundreds of horsepower to the tarmac suffer huge stresses, and the grooves moulded into the tread are the means by which water is ejected from this important area. With warrant of fitness checks for post-2001 vehicles now on a yearly basis, taking care to check your tread might be a literal life saver. Tread should be of an even depth across the whole tyre — including the rounded ‘shoulder’ which runs into the sidewall. A handy tyre tester is available for free from Carters Tyres in Dargaville, or you can use a matchstick — the tread must be no shallower than the width of the match head. Along with tyres, suspension and brakes take a hammering in the winter. If you’re experiencing uneven braking, or a shuddering sensation when you engage the brakes, this could mean your brake pads are worn thin. Some brake pads contain a metal tab which makes a repetitive scraping noise when exposed through wear — this distinctive sound is designed to alert drivers to the need to replace worn parts. Similarly, a creaking or squeaking noise coupled with loose steering response could indicate worn wheel bearings or ball joints in your

suspension. To double check, jack up the affected wheel and try to ‘wobble’ the tyre. Any play in the joints means it’s time to visit a mechanic. Another common issue in front wheel drive vehicles is a loud clicking noise when turning hard, and especially when reversing. This indicates wear of the CV joints which provide power to the front wheels. It’s good to check this area in any case come winter, as vital areas under the car between the motor and wheels are covered by rubber protective ‘boots’. A tear or slippage of these boots can let water and grit into sensitive parts. If you’ve heard or felt anything odd while driving, and you’re worried that

the problem may get worse, visiting your local garage is the easiest way to gain some peace of mind. Remember that an issue caught early is cheaper and easier to fix — and it could save you from a crash this winter. 

 Ruawai JMB rugby hosted the annual Trans-Tasman challenge against Beecroft- Cherrybrook, now known as the Northern Barbarians. The event has been going for more than 36 years and in a hard fought game the Northern Barbarians took the trophy home with a victory. “The visitors were treated to a visit on the Bickers’ family farm, a bush walk, a game of capture the flag, and plenty of mud. Special thanks goes to Kaipara Kumara and Silver Fern Farms for their generous donations. The trophy should be brought back when the Aussie Tour 2017 boys visit Sydney in mid-April next year,” said Ruawai JMB Rugby secretary, Jewelie Sterling.
