Crucial water decision for council u by Paul Campbell

Whether to go along with government plans for a super-sized water control authority for Northland, based on Auckland, is to be decided by Kaipara District Council at its meeting on August 26, just five days before a deadline to receive a $2.35 'opt-in' payment.

The government is investing $76 million to upgrade water services across the country as a result of the fatal Havelock North campylobacter outbreak in 2016. The three waters, drinking water, stormwater and wastewater, review aims to cut New Zealand's 67 water providers to just half a dozen or fewer. The proposal in Northland would join Kaipara District Council, Far North District Council and Whangarei District Council with Auckland Council. However, Northland's councils are against the proposal although Wellington has offered $28.26 million, subject to them opting into negotiations. The government money announced last week would give the FNDC $5.90 million, WDC $5.89 million and KDC $2.35 million. There's also $14.13 million for the councils to work together to amalgamate drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure and provision in the region. They have until September 30 to decide among themselves where that money would be allocated. Kaipara Mayor Jason Smith chairs the Northland Mayors Forum and says preference was instead for a regional Tai Tokerau approach. He added that suggested options to the water review also included an entity adding Waikato and Bay of Plenty to the northern blend, therefore amalgamating at least a dozen councils' water sector responsibilities. "Under these super-regional entities water management will not be locally run," Dr Smith said. "Local people won't have any way of having their voice heard." Northland was particularly at risk because it was distant from much of the more centralised decision-making that would result. "Local voices will just disappear as localism is diminished. Northland will be off the table for discussion. People live locally; they don't live regionally. If we turn around and do a super-regional level water management body, places like Mitimiti and Pouto will disappear. There will be a general blanket approach that doesn't have local sensitivity, understanding, identity and values.” Dr Smith said Northlanders would face paying bigger costs and greater regulation from the changes.

p Mayor Jason Smith — ‘water plan will increase costs’

The new review says many water treatment plant consents were due to expire and a major spend would be needed to bring them up to consent to operate. The country's ageing wastewater, stormwater and drinking water were coming up for replacement at a huge cost, that was too great for some councils to bear. ¢

p The children at Tangiteroria School are working to help ensure the country’s special plants are given a chance to survive. “We planted a kakabeak/ngutukaka last week in the school grounds after discovering that the plant is nationally critical and an endangered species,” says environmental teacher Eden Hakaraia. “As part of our studies, the students found that the plants have beautiful red flowers. They are shaped like a kaka’s beak and provide a great habitat for birds. There are only approximately 150 plants known in the wild and we are looking forward to watching this one grow and flourish. As part of their environmental studies, the children are discovering the importance of preserving our native plants, encouraging growth of various species and why they are important to wildlife such as providing food for the native birds in the area.”

SpongeBob, Mary Poppins, rabbits, bears and mice were just a few of the book characters that came to life. “We couldn’t have been prouder of the immense effort all of our students put into their costumes for the grand finale of the week,” says principal Aaron Kemp. ”We appreciate all our parents who came along to support us for the day. The children also spent time decorating their classrooms with jungle scenes, animals and other interesting characters, which added to the excitement of the week.”

Grants aiding local recovery Date set for u by Paul Campbell

Covid-19 relief grants to businesses, community and sporting groups in Kaipara have amounted to $85,000 so far. Of this, $46,000 has been used to offset the costs of council food and health and alcohol licences. Kaipara District Council also has applications for a further $53,000 for professional services, which are in progress, from a total grants pool of $675,000 available for those affected. KDC officer Jenny Rooney, who has been processing the grants applications, says the process has drawn out a community spirit. “People said they were managing okay and they would rather the grants went to those that really needed them. It’s been so nice to be able to help out in this way, and it’s really made a difference for some people.” p KDC’s Jenny Rooney has been processing Grants are funded from grant applications operational costs unspent during Covid-19 and the benefit from lower An extra $30.3 million in funding interest rates. for an expanded Mana in Mahi, a “As a district with strong farming programme to help people into longroots, Kaipara hasn’t been as badly term work with recognised industry affected as other areas,” says Mayor qualifications, is also available.

Acknowledge heroes

Adventure at sea

Nominations close at the end of this month for the very prestigious New Zealander of the Year Awards, and organisers are calling for more nominations from regional and hometown heroes.

Dargaville High School Year 12 students Tegan Zappelli and Brodie Munn have won a sailing experience on the R Tucker Thompson, after winning a place through the Te Tai Tokerau Tall Ship Challenge poster competition.

With six categories honouring volunteers, community groups and positive leaders, there are ample examples in the Kaipara of those worthy of having their names put forward. With previous winners including sporting greats, professors, cultural leaders, charity fundraisers and entrepreneurial innovators, the awards now span six categories. Any member of the public can nominate an individual or community organisation in the awards programme. Nominations for the 2020 Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year Awards close on August 30. Organisers urge all Kiwis to think about the people in their part of the country who have made a difference. It could be one person or a whole organisation who have risen up to help locals, through education, services, caring for the sick and elderly during Covid, funding new facilities for sports, the arts or pensioners, or finding ways to create jobs and innovate environmentally. “These are people we know and those we discover. Those special kiwis whose passion and determination have seen them inspire, innovate, and work for the betterment of Aotearoa and its people,” said the awards’ patron, journalist

The experience teaches the youngsters about leadership, safety, teamwork and individual strength. “Students from schools across Northland produced safety at sea posters. Tegan and Brodie’s poster was very creative with many important safety points clearly outlined,” says R Tucker Thompson Youth Programmes manager, Sophie Camplin. “They featured important information including avoiding alcohol, wearing life jackets and checking the weather forecast. Dargaville High School is sponsored by Northpower. Brodie and Tegan go on the voyage on Friday, August 28 p Tegan Zappelli and Brodie Munn from Dargaville High School will experience sailing on from Opua, returning to Whangarei the R Tucker Thompson on Thursday, September 3.” Dargaville High School Career Adviser including learning how to sail a tall Chiaroni says the school encourages sailing ship. students to take up opportunities for “Some of these will be challenging, experiential learning. such as diving off the boat and climbing “Tegan and Brodie have done well up the mast.

Three decades of daffodils Pop-up meetings on council plan

u by Andy Bryenton

A group of Mangawhai residents is taking Daffodil Day’s 30th anniversary very seriously indeed, with a varied schedule of charitable events planned to raise funds for the New Zealand Cancer Society.

u by Paul Campbell

A series of informal pop-up stalls around the region this month offers the public an early chance to talk with Northland Regional Councillors and staff about the things they should be focussing on to influence the shape of the Long Term Plan 2021–2031.

Paulette Phillis, Jan Fisher, Querida Smith and Linda Mabey, together with family and friends, say they will be ‘helping paint Mangawhai yellow’ in the last week in August, with a variety of novel ways to support the long-running NZCS Daffodil Day event. Festivities begin on August 25, with a Quiz Night at the Mangawhai Tavern. The entry fee of $10 a person will go to support the Cancer Society cause. “It is always a popular p Mangawhai will be buzzing about daffodils as local residents put on a fest of charity events to fundraise for and fun night, with plenty the NZCS this month of prizes to be won,” says Paulette. “Come alone, or make up a own collection that never get into high team.

The event for Kaipara will be on Saturday, August 15, from 9am to noon at the Paparoa Village Market. NRC Chair Penny Smart says the council is starting to develop its plans now and the community pop-up events offer people a great chance to participate. “Like all councils, we have to work out what the priorities are, what services we can deliver and, of course, how it’s all paid for. Planning for the next three, 10 and even 30 years is always a real balancing act, but that’s especially true in these challenging times.” She says public input about the things most important to them will help steer early development of the plan. However, she points out there will be another chance for feedback when council formally consults on the plan in March/April next year. The council’s Strategy, Policy and Planning manager, Kyla Carlier, says the link offers people the chance to join an online conversation and share the things that matter most to them, as well as a ‘sign-up’ option to keep abreast of the latest LTP developments.

Dog safety campaign goes yellow

Ready and skilled for the future

u by Andy Bryenton

A worldwide campaign to help boost safety for both dogs and their owners in public spaces has reached New Zealand, with a clever and simple idea to assist sick, injured, rehabilitated or rescued dogs reintegrating into canine and human society.

The $17 billion a year tourism and hospitality industry has received a huge shakeup with the advent of Covid. However, plans are afoot to bring back our second biggest sector stronger than ever.

The Yellow Dog Project is one of those concepts that’s pure genius in its simplicity. Many dogs, whether due to vet’s orders, an animal shelter background, previous trauma or lack of early socialisation, are in the process of learning how to behave with their owners, around other dogs, or in an open environment. They’re not bad dogs, they may just be frightened or overwhelmed with new smells and sights, or hurting from surgery or injuries.

p Be prepared for the restart of tourism with qualifications from one of the most highly-regarded educators in the field

Part of ensuring that there’s a warm welcome awaiting tourists when the global threat subsides is to make sure that there are skilled and qualified staff on deck. As training takes time, it’s smart to begin training or retraining the right people, right now, according to industry insiders. That’s one of the reasons why QRC Tai Tokerau Resort College is hosting an open day in Dargaville this month, offering opportunities to engage with the hospitality industry as it reignites. “It is an opportunity for prospective students, parents, teachers and community workers to learn about the tourism industry and receive information about our campus and the QRC experience,” says spokesperson,

Ellen Smith, via an open invitation to Dargaville locals. “The QRC team will be there to answer your questions and provide support with the application process for those wishing to apply.” QRC Te Tai Tokerau operates a state of the art resort-based training facility in the Bay of Islands and is positioned as key stakeholders in the resurgence of tourism in the north. With a long track record in training staff for management, hospitality, cookery and tourism operations, they are confident that there is a bright future ahead for those with the right skills. The open day will span two sessions on August 26, at the Seed, Foster’s Arcade, Victoria Street, Dargaville at 10am and 2pm. Please RSVP to ellen.smith@qrc.ac.nz. ¢

Garden rambles on

Gardeners are hard at work as spring peeks over the horizon early, preparing for one of the big outdoor events on the Mangawhai calendar.

Kaiwaka Can came about six years ago to combat speeding traffic in Kaiwaka. It now acts as a link between the community and Kaipara District Council.

The Mangawhai Garden Ramble is set to return for its 17th consecutive year in 2020, and those generously opening up their gardens to visitors are pulling out all the stops. Event spokesperson Philippa White is enthusiastic about the new gardens on display this year, as the ramble focusses its efforts on funding upgrades for the local kindergarten. Appropriately, this old German word means ‘garden for the children’, so hosting p Subtropical, coastal Mangawhai provides a perfect climate for varied and interesting gardens, balancing both native and a garden-themed annual exotic species fundraiser is an apt way to celebrate. and see first-hand what plants and “This year we have over 20 fabulous landscapes can successfully be grown gardens to tour, including many never in the region.” seen before,” says Philippa. “The Right now, as the seasons change, gardens on offer range from compact to planting and design are underway to expansive, some established and some make those 20 gardens burst with an ever-evolving work in progress. colour and creativity. “Every year, the “For those keen ramblers who have Mangawhai Garden Ramble continues joined us before, you will enjoy seeing to flourish. We are really pleased and some gardens that have not been grateful to see new gardens added exhibited for several years that have every year and are looking forward to transformed over this time. To those welcoming lots of new and old faces for that are new to the area, come along a great family day out.” ¢

“We began with discussions about speeding traffic through Kaiwaka. As a byproduct, a Township Improvement Plan emerged to guide projects in the near future,” said Kaiwaka Can chairman Derek Christensen. “Now we’re aiming to prepare Kaiwaka for the future seen in the Spatial Plan, p Kaiwaka Can’s volunteers gathered together recently to celebrate the PGF grant of $750,000, which will be used to which increases space fund projects to improve the township Photo: Lindsey Hargreaves for housing, industry and retail.

John Bertrand Collectables Back in Dargaville After Covid 19 Lockdown

Gold & Silver At Very High Prices

nce again the buyers from John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd are in Dargaville next week. Mr Tony Grant from the company says “This is a great time to bring along those unwanted items you’ve sorted out during the lockdown period and turn them into cash”. Particularly wanted by the buyers are Gold and Silver (in any of its forms) and Collectables such as Old Coins and Banknotes, War Medals, Old Wind-up Watches and other interesting Old Collectables. “We are keen buyers, especially of the items in the list below” said Mr Grant. “I’m sure everyone has unearthed something we want in the past few weeks and we would like to see it! Nothing is too small for our consideration. We are just as happy to buy one item as we are buying 1,000 items”. The buyers will be in convenient locations in Dargaville next week (see details Mr Anthony (Tony) below). As Tony Grant W. Grant Fellow of the Royal Numismatic says “if you are in any Society of New Zealand Incorporated doubt about any items Director and Buyer you wish to sell, take John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd them along for an instant Author of the John Bertrand NZ Coin & Banknote Catalogue appraisal”

uring these uncertain times we have seen a massive increase in the price of precious metals. The gold price in New Zealand is at near record levels so gather up all your unwanted items and take them along to the buyers. Tony Grant says “We can buy old gold items in all forms, including Jewellery (Rings, Chains, Brooches etc), Coins (Sovereigns and the like), Alluvial (River Gold), virtually anything, even Gold Teeth! We also need all Sterling Silver including Cups, Tea Services, Cutlery and Old Coins” he said.

Interesting Small Collectables Wanted

he buyers from John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd, are visiting Dargaville next week and are happy to look at any interesting items, for example vintage pocket and wristwatches such as Rolex, Men’s Omega, Breitling and gold watches etc. Also wanted, pre 1920’s picture postcards, Maori and Pacific artefacts, old fountain pens and other small antique or historical items. “If you have something unusual which you would like to sell, please bring it into one of our venues, we would like the chance to at least have a look at it” said Tony Grant, buyer for the Company. “We will consider anything which may be of interest to a collector” he said.

Some Big Dollars in Early Banknotes

arly New Zealand Banknotes dated before 1932 are currently fetching big money! This is according to Mr Tony Grant, author of the John Bertrand New Zealand Coin & Banknote Catalogue. Mr Grant is in Dargaville next week on a buying trip for John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd and would be very keen to see any of these issues. “We will pay at least $300 for any undamaged Ten Shilling or One Pound banknote from a

New Zealand trading bank dated 1932 or before. Denominations of five pounds and higher would be worth from $700. “Any banknote dated prior to 1900 would be worth at least $1000” said Mr Grant. Also purchased are any Reserve Bank of New Zealand pre-decimal issues, especially 50 Pound notes. All overseas banknotes are also wanted, especially early Pacific Island issues.

Collectors Need War Medals

urrently, throughout NZ and the world there is a big demand by collectors for war medals. These cover all wars right through from the New Zealand Land Wars and the Boer War, to the First and Second World Wars and the later Korea and Vietnam conflicts. New Zealand Servicemen and Women first served overseas in the Boer War in South Africa around 1900 and the war medals awarded for this service are needed by the buyers, as are any other Medals from early New Zealand and the New Zealand Wars. General service medals from both the First and Second World Wars will also be purchased, but as can be imagined these were awarded in fairly large numbers. “If a group of medals has any special award for bravery such as the Military Medal, Military or Flying Cross or other medals for Distinguished Conduct or Meritorious Service, these can add great value to a group” stated Mr Tony Grant, buyer for John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd. “Many families have old medals, some dating back to early Imperial days, that they are not sure what to do with. These are better off in the hands of collectors who will look after them. We will be happy to look at any war medals whatsoever, just bring them in to venues” he said.

Old Coins Can Toss Up a Rarity

n lockdown when you sorted out your drawers and cupboards you may have come across some old coins. You just never know what rarities may be lurking there. The advice of Tony Grant from John Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd is to bring them in to the venues and have them appraised. “We want to see any old foreign coin accumulations. We are quite happy to go through your coins on the spot and give you an idea what we can pay. You just never know what can turn up. We are also particularly keen to buy pre 1946 New Zealand Silver Coins at 10 times their face value” he said.

p The day of action on the field was organised alongside food, refreshments and celebrations to commemorate the hard work and dedication of the Western Sharks’ sponsors, across all the codes the club supports

p Fast action on the field mirrored the new pace of post-Covid rugby; the sport has had an explosive, if short, season in 2020, which happens to be Northland Rugby’s 100th year

p Stalwart fans braved the elements to enjoy proper grass roots rugby at Pioneer Rugby Park, Dargaville’s ‘home turf’ which looks ahead to planned upgrades of lighting and scoreboard systems

DAFFODIL DAY FRIDAY 28

AUGUST 2020

Yellow the colour of hope u by

Andy Bryenton

The daffodil is the symbol for one of our nation’s most well-known charitable fundraisers, the annual drive for the Cancer Society of New Zealand. To carry on their good work in Kiwi communities, looking after the families of people battling cancer and the wellbeing of patients themselves, this hard-working not-for-profit organisation hits the streets to raise money and awareness. Why the daffodil, though? How has this yellow bloom come to signify the push for research into one of the modern world’s most pervasive illnesses? Moreover, why was it chosen to represent Friday, August 28, Daffodil Day? The cheerful yellow bloom of the daffodil comes out at the turning of the seasons, as winter’s cold and rain turn to spring. Thus, several cultures held the flower sacred in ancient times, from the Egyptians to the Hebrews and, of course, the Greeks, who associated the flower with the demigod Narcissus. In their legends, the yellow daffodils grew

on the earthly side of the river Styx, beyond which lay the afterlife. Daffodils were significant as a flower associated with returning from illness or injury. Therefore, it’s said they reminded spirits of the joys of the living world and made them turn back, returning to their friends and family. In Wales, the daffodil is the symbol of the nation’s patron saint, St David. A real-life sixth-century holy man who founded peaceful monasteries during a time of almost constant warfare, preserving literacy and knowledge of healing. The daffodil was also sacred to Eostre, the fertility Goddess of Rome from whom we take the name of the Easter holiday. In China, the daffodil is a symbol of hope and new life and is associated with the celebration of the new year.

p Daffodil day is 30 years old in 2020; another great opportunity to pitch in and support, as Dargaville’s ANZ Bank staff do each year

With all of these worldwide traditions supporting the impression of the daffodil as a flower of regeneration after winter, it’s no surprise that the Cancer Society chose it as an emblem for their own works. Their mission is centred on fostering hope, both in individuals fighting cancer and in society as a whole that a cure can be found through science and research. When

you see the collectors out there this year with their bright yellow flowers, think of all the people through history who have also waited for the daffodil to herald the coming of spring. Year after year, the flowers never let them down; just as the Cancer Society continues to honour its pledge and support those in our communities fighting this illness today. ¢

Artists impression of Dargaville Pontoon

Construction work for the new Dargaville pontoon is set to begin next month. The work is part of Kaipara KickStart, an umbrella programme led by Kaipara District Council and funded by the Provincial Growth Fund, to grow the district’s economy and increase community wellbeing. Work onsite is expected to take two to three weeks. A traffic management plan will be in place, with further details available on our website towards the end of this month. During the construction period a portion of the carpark nearest to the pontoon will be used. The carpark will be fully operational again after the pontoon is completed. Other work as part of the Kaipara Wharves project includes; further consultation and design for a new wharf at Pouto, Pahi wharf upgrade, and further consultation, design, and implementation of a beach landing at either Otamatea, Waihaua, or Oruawharo marae.

Modems available at the Dargaville Library The Dargaville Library now has Skinny Jump modems available. Anyone signing up to Skinny Jump can take their modem home immediately and have their broadband up and running in a flash. Visit the library, or their website kaipara.kotui.govt.nz for details on how to sign up.

Mangawhai community park work You may have seen our team and contractors hard at work around the Mangawhai Community Park area. We’re removing the wilding pines and gum trees (areas where you will see the action are between the Mangawhai Club and Fire Station, and between the Skate Bowl and Pioneer Village). This work is funded by the Te Tai Tokerau Redeployment Package from central government, and will take another four weeks or so to complete. Activities involve tree felling and the use of heavy machinery; safety observers and cordons are in place. Trees felled are used for park mulch or sold for firewood to help pay for maintenance of our parks. Once this mahi has finished and the weather allows we will be replanting the area with native plants.

You can read the Feasibility Study and Programme Business Case which was approved and finalised earlier this year at kaipara.govt.nz/kickstart/kaipara-harbour-wharves

Rivals ‘til the end u by Andy Bryenton

With the Targa NZ road race coming soon to Mangawhai, it was revelatory indeed to take a look at who’s leading the field in this nationwide event. An eventful Hawke’s Bay Targa is already completed, and the classic 2WD division is led out by a pair of rival machines, which have been trading punches since the early 1980s. At the 1982 Berlin motor show, both Mercedes and BMW came out swinging, with new, angular styled, crisp, modern small cars for a new type of urban sophisticate. Bruno Sacco penned the W201 for Benz; commonly referred to as the 190E, this body shape, in fact, spanned many different engine configurations, notably a coveted collaboration with Cosworth, the British tuning gurus who turned latter-day Fords into fire-breathing monsters.

King Tony 1/2” dr Combination Socket Set - 42pc

BMW’s second-generation three series were more compact and shared the sharp-edged, ruled-line elegance of the Merc. Claus Luthe and Boyke Boyer took design credit for the now iconic shape with its twin headlamps and pugnacious stance. Unsurprisingly, from day one the two German auto giants were at loggerheads to prove their small car was best. Mercedes had taken a step into the unknown, creating a compact version of their heavyweight S-Class luxury machines, while BMW had identified with the new market of young, well-paid business people who wanted an exciting driver’s car. Both took to motorsport to settle their differences, team Benz calling up Cosworth and designing a 2.3 litre, 16 valve rally version of the W210.

p Targa NZ results prove that the classic rivalry between the Benz 190E and E30 BMW lives on after 40 exciting years

The fly in the ointment was Audi, who broadsided both other big German players by developing the Quattro and changing rallying forever to a four-wheeldrive sport. Undaunted, Merc took the 2.3–16 track racing, only to be met by BMW’s answer, the now legendary M3. Bypassing tuning houses, they ripped its 2.3-litre inline-four from a formula one car. The two marques slugged it out on the track until 1993 in the European

touring cars, and the debate as to which is best still lingers. Hence to the Targa, where car #299, and E30 3 series, just pipped car #290, a 190E, for the top classic spot. The fun continues between these two models. It is likely to do so for some time to come, with prices of both now soaring and owners finding they are still able to pick up their skirts and fly just as well as 40 years ago. ¢

Remembering a legend u by Andy Bryenton

In April this year, the motorsport world lost one of its most famous drivers, a man who was often called ‘the greatest driver never to win the world championship’. Enzo Ferrari would tell it differently during the career of the late, great Sir Stirling Moss. The Italian carmaker always maintained that if Moss swapped British patriotism for pragmatism (and an Italian F1 drive), he’d have won the lot. Stirling was the son of a dentist, and in a weird hint at his later associations with New Zealand, his boyhood home was called Long White Cloud House. His family were all involved in motor racing, even his mother, a hill climb racing champion in her own right. It was only natural that Stirling developed a ‘taste for petrol’, and went on to set some incredible records. Between 1948 and 1962 he won 212 of the 529 races he entered, a staggering calendar behind the wheel equating to 62 races a year in rallies, road races and track races. He drove 84 different kinds of cars during this time, with a fondness for British makes that verged on the single-mindedly patriotic. “Better to lose honourably in a British car than win in a foreign one,” he was known to say, as he broke the Italian domination of Formula 1 alongside Jack Brabham in the so-called golden era. His crown as top British F1 driver endured until 1991. In 1954 Moss outraced the two top drivers of the age on their home

turf at Monza, Italy. Juan Fangio and Alberto Ascari both praised his skill and his determination at the event; when his car’s engine gave out, losing him the race, he still pushed the machine over the finishing line. The next year saw his most significant drive ever, and what some sports commentators call the single greatest driving feat of all time. Stirling Moss finished the 1,000 mile Italian Mille Miglia road race, thought to be the most gruelling in motorsport, in 10 hours 7 minutes. On those roads, with 1950s technology, it should have been impossible, but not only did he pull it off, he then turned around and drove his girlfriend from Italy to Munich for a late breakfast. Moss visited New Zealand and raced at Pukekohe, teaming up with Denny Hulme, and entered the Bathurst 1000 in a Holden Torana. He was a pioneer of land speed racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats where Kiwi Burt Munro would find fame. His favourite accomplishment,
