Local muscle power and an excavator supplied by the Kaipara District Council joined forces to make improvements to the Baylys Beach dunescape this month. It was a chilly day, but a warm feeling pervaded the small army of Baylys Beach volunteers who turned out last week to beautify and protect the seashore. Three hundred spinifex dune grasses were planted. Locals in their cold-weather gear planted the stabilising, erosion-fighting native flora while an excavator cleared sand from the Baylys Beach boardwalk. With storms lashing the coast during late winter, the importance of dune-forming protective grasses like spinifex has been brought into focus, with planting efforts both at Baylys and down the Ripiro coast at Glinks Gully.

The Kaipara District Council has made a detailed submission on the Water Services Entities bill, with special mention of how stormwater services in Kaipara may be challenging to homogenise. The bill, if enacted, will help usher in Three Waters. However, the KDC and other councils with large areas of stormwater and drainage operations have questioned its implementation, stating that hyper-local drainage authorities will be a difficult fit. “Stormwater connects closely with a variety of other territorial authority roles and functions, including flood and drainage management, roading, parks, placemaking and greenspace,” said Mayor Jason Smith and elected members in their submission to the government. “Given the inherent links between stormwater and other territorial authority services and functions, it may be difficult or unnecessary to immediately transfer stormwater assets. Therefore, the bill must provide a provision where the territorial continued on page 3 … owned and Operated

p Councillor Peter Wethey is one of two KDC representatives helping govern Harding Park — Pou Tu O Te Rangi, a space which is the subject of many proposed changes
The leadership of Dargaville Museum, Te Whare Taonga o Tunatahi, agree broadly with plans to improve the facilities of Harding Park. Still, they oppose construction and changes within the area covered by their licence to occupy. Of particular focus was the proposal to move the Rainbow Warrior masts, a concern for other private ‘Dargavillesubmitters.Museum objects to the relocation of the Rainbow Warrior masts from their current location. The Rainbow Warrior masts are situated on land within Harding Park that the museum has the licence to occupy,’ a joint submission by committee members stated. The museum’s leadership was also concerned about a clause which may, if applied as read, invalidate the use of the Lighthouse Function Centre as it restricts commercial enterprise within the park. Members of the Kaipara Heritage Machinery Society advocated for better parking, access to their site, and the retention of fencing to delineate their plot from the park itself. A group of neighbouring Old Golf Course Road residents submitted jointly, opposing the idea of roading access to the Cricket sponsor ANZ is making $50,000 available to families.

cues people use when they are saying something they don’t believe include too much or too little eye contact, excessive eye blinking, slower rate of speech, and longer pauses between statements,” says Stein. Another thing to watch for is the use of vague, short answers which end on an appeal to emotions and not reason. Avoiding the question and deflecting to another topic are signs of not having a firm policy on an issue. Despite being a loaded term in modern politics, it does pay to do your research on candidates’ claims and the figures and facts supporting their policies. The Internet can be a valuable tool for this, but steer clear of social media as a source of truth; it is the least trusted news source for a reason. It’s also a smart idea to look into the past associates of your candidates. If these groups have views which are radically opposed to the candidate’s current stance or if they espouse objectionable opinions, it’s good to know.

The Department of Conservation has physical proof that cats target native pekapeka bats and the culprits are not always feral wildcats.
“We’re throwing in a good prize for fish because our new venue is the Northern Wairoa Boating club, and we wanted to reflect that nautical theme,” says hunt spokesperson Steve Nathan. “Under 15s can enter for free this year, as it’s all about the kids.

The West Coast Poutō Pig Hunt returns again for 2022 with a new venue, new categories and the support of a hunting club keen to give back to nature and the community.
Hunters will gather on Thursday, September 8, for a three-day wilderness adventure, trying to bag the biggest boar and beat the competition’s mammoth 90.72kg record weight. Meanwhile, there are also prizes up for grabs for the biggest snapper caught, and a whole new section for young hunters.
Poutō Pig Hunting Club members have a long track record of hosting the contest, which is now 12 years old.

These include the Resource Management Act and Three Waters reforms, our current roading or lack thereof, and the lack of stable leadership across the whole region. Not to mention that any incoming council will have to appoint a chief executive. It is not an easy task for a newly appointed council with minimal experience in the organisation’s dayto-day operations. How will these new councillors make an informed decision? I personally think that it is really important we get to know who we are voting for. Even more so this year because of the lack of experienced leadership there will be in the region. We need to ask a lot of questions. What will you bring to your role as councillor? Why have you taken the step to represent your district? What do you believe to be the most important issue facing Kaipara? For those returning: how have you made a difference while on the council which justifies your re-election?
This weekend Te Ha Oranga will host a fun, free family celebration of good health and good times as they bring back Dargaville Whānau Day.
There’s a serious side to the celebration, which will take place at Dargaville’s Sportsville complex on Saturday, August 27, from 10am until 2pm. That involves free health check-ups for youngsters and adults alike and a free vaccination programme for illnesses such as However,influenza.there’s a health boost to be had from getting outdoors and having some fun and laughter too. Whānau Day will feature a huge free barbecue, free snow cones, bouncy castles, mini-jeep rides, face painting and loads of spot prizes and games.
Dargaville’s day of fun and family follows a similar event last weekend in Wellsford, also orchestrated by Te Ha Oranga, an organisation spanning the mid-north.“Special thanks to all those who have helped make this possible and to Kaipara Kumara and Silver Fern Farms in particular for their generosity. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy this day of fun,” says Cassandra. ¢ p Face painting and festivities will be in full swing this Saturday as Whānau Day arrives in Dargaville
The elections are not meant to be a popularity competition. They are meant to be a device to select the right people to do the job. East coast or west coast, it shouldn’t matter as long as they can deliver the best for all. You can tell a lot about a person by their actions, and you can tell a lot about a politician and how they will behave in office by the issues they have been vocal on and the political allegiances they have formed during the years. People can change their tune but often not their core beliefs. Look deeper into those attachments and track record of opinions on the bigWeissues.can all listen to a campaign message. Still, it’s a very good idea also to take a look at your candidate’s social media history, their record of voting, if they have held office before, and their expressed opinions online to gain a bigger picture than simply the public face of their campaign. A campaign platform is window dressing and designed to get you to vote for that individual. Once they have your vote, how will they act? Getting to know your representatives is the first step in transparency and not falling for a candidate’s spin.
Fun for the whānau welcomes spring
“We held a celebration like this not long ago for Matariki, and the runout was amazing,” says Te Ha Oranga spokesperson Cassandra Kingi-Waru.“Thecommunity really got involved, and so we thought, after a long winter, what better way to welcome the new season than a gettogether and some fun?”

In Kaipara, we’re fortunate to have warmer temperatures than other areas further south, so germinating flower seeds for spring planting can be done now. Get out those long-neglected seed trays and start planning for a growing season full of colour, scent and good eating. Give the trays a good clean before use, then fill up with a good-quality seed-raising mix. Place in your seeds and ensure they are moist rather than soaking wet. Use a mister to retain moisture — it will prevent drying out. Once the seedlings have germinated, ensure to continue misting and retaining soil moisture. Too wet, and your seedlings will die from dampening off. Once they’re large enough to handle, prick out carefully and pot on until the root systems are established enough for planting out. For spacing, always follow the guidelines on the seed producer’s packaging. In some cases, where intensive vegetable plantings are involved, spacing can be closer. However, these are more suitable for small leafed salad greens such as baby spinach, mesclun lettuce and mizuna, where harvesting is frequent.
p Making plans for a colourful season in the garden makes a world of difference
Random plantings can be a bad idea, especially if it’s in the way of something else. Do a plan first before making the first spade cut. In established beds and new ones, too, add in lots of compost, organic matter and blood and bone to give your annuals and vegetables a good start once planted. Add a layer of mulch on top to help retain moisture and prevent weeds from taking over the planting beds. For plants kept in containers, now is the time to take them out and refresh the soil with quality container mix. Prune off any dead or damaged wood with clean secateurs on a dry day to prevent any fungal diseases. Roses should be given a check over and a clip if required. An application of general fertiliser will provide them with a boost for flowering. Citrus trees should also be given a general tidyup and citrus fertiliser for the upcoming season. Check for issues such as lemon tree borer, scale and sooty mildew. Use an appropriate spray, keeping in mind bees will be pollinating blooms at this time of the year onwards. One thing that is recommended is to keep a garden diary. It will help ensure succession plantings are done on time to provide a continuous supply of vegetables and abundant flowers for the garden. Happy gardening.
Now is the time to get outside between the showers and start sorting out the garden beds. Get out the gardening tools and sharpen the secateurs and spade ready to put to work for the season. Plan out your beds for vegetables and flowers.

“I have nothing but kudos for Whangārei Hospital, not just the surgeons and doctors but also the fantastic nursing team,” says Betty. She returned home after five days of monitoring and went on to make a full recovery without additional surgeries or Hertherapies.message to others is clear. Please don’t put off going to the doctor if you feel unwell. It may simply be a stomach ache or a muscle strain, but if it isn’t, finding out fast means a better chance of a cure. Modern medicine has advanced a long way in the past 20 years. It continues to do so daily, thanks, in the case of cancer research, to organisations like the New Zealand Cancer Society. That means that even though a cancer diagnosis can be frightening, there is more hope than ever before of having a story like Betty’s — one of fast detection and complete recovery. ¢
“It all began when I went to the Dargaville Medical Centre feeling ill. They took samples and booked me in for a colonoscopy in six months time,” says “However,Betty.in the next month or two, I felt worse. During that year’s summer and Christmas holidays, I felt terrible gastrointestinal pain and discomfort. On the first day back to work, a colleague convinced me to push the colonoscopy appointment forward.” That proved to be a good decision, as a quick trip to a private endoscopic practice confirmed that a 15cm tumour was indeed to blame. Armed with this evidence, a diagnosis was swift, and Whangārei Hospital took over. They summoned assistance from other specialists in oncology, talked to them via conference, and administered two MRI scans and two CAT scans to determine the extent of the cancer.
“Luckily, it had not reached the stage where it had got into any other parts of the body,” says Betty. “Though in the two weeks leading up to my operation, I was advised to watch out for any health changes or aches and pains.”

Early detection of cancer is the key to a swift cure many cases, and that of Dargaville resident Betty Willetts is no different. She urges others to seek treatment fast if they feel ill. Betty beat gastrointestinal cancer following a successful operation, facilitated thanks to a quick diagnosis. Evidence from endoscopy led to an efficient operation and a full recovery, but things could have gone differently.

ANZ Dargaville manager Dania Wood and her team are proud to partner up with the New Zealand Cancer Society for the 32nd time this year. They have decorated their premises in yellow and amassed a large haul of prizes to raffle off as part of their efforts to raise money for the annual Cancer Society appeal, coming up on Friday, August 26.
While Dania says that the bank is a focal point for the Daffodil Day appeal, with a three-decade-long tradition of helping out, the response from other business owners and members of the public always delights and surprises ANZ staff. Of course, bright yellow daffodil pins are available at the counter all week long, with donations going directly to the NZCS.
There are many reasons why Daffodil Day is one of the most supported and respected charity appeals on the Kiwi calendar. Nearly everyone in the nation has a friend, relative or colleague who has battled cancer. Statistically, 25,000 New Zealanders will receive that diagnosis each year. With medical science improving every day thanks to funding for research, the chances of making a full recovery are getting better all the time. Early detection, good care and solid support are the keys to success. To aid in this, the NZCS put in more than one million kilometres of drive time to get patients to their medical appointments each year. It provides 50,000 nights in free accommodation to bring people closer to specialist medical services. Add in their work in promoting early detection and educating people on cancer risks, advocating for better healthcare and operating a full-time telephone service for information. and it’s easy to see why the people behind the daffodil appeal are so well respected.
¢
This year’s slogan for the Daffodil Day appeal sums up the philosophy of the hard-working volunteers and staff working behind the scenes with the New Zealand Cancer Society; ‘cancer doesn’t stop, so we won’t either’. Please give generously when you see the charity collectors out and about this week.

The best gift is family time u by Andy Bryenton
Serious research goes into finding out what dads really want for Father’s Day, with the holiday accounting for millions of dollars worth of gifts each year. Some of that research by marketing, psychology and media experts proves what many mums have known for years; dads are really just big kids. When asked candidly about what they’d really like as a gift, an astounding 63% in an online survey in the United States opted for toys and games, from radio-controlled models to gaming consoles, sports equipment and collectable figurines. However, it turns out that the most wellregarded gifts in the long term are those which facilitate leisure time with friends and family. The Pew Research Center reports that while dads spend more time with their children than they did decades ago, more than 60% of fathers say it’s still not enough time. The study went on to ask about the gifts that had been the most meaningful, for birthdays, Father’s Day and Christmas, for the past decade. It revealed that a clear majority, 68%, were gifts shared withWhatfamily.does this convert to for the Father’s Day shopper? It could be as simple as buying a family board game with an angle dad is into. Could it be something to help him express his love for family through practical means? Some dads DIY and improve their homes as a way of making life better for their loved ones, while others share their appreciation by cooking or barbecuing meals all can Perhapsenjoy. the ultimate extension of this theory comes from Cornell University professor of psychology, Dr Thomas Gilovich. He has put 20 years of study into the question: ‘what makes us happier, experiences or things?’ The answer for both men and women, but overwhelmingly for men, is an experience. A whole lap in a race car, a hot air balloon ride, a holiday to an exotic country or a daring dining experience with food from far-off cultures. These are seen as more valuable by far than possessions, even expensive ones.
“People often think spending money on an experience is not as wise an investment as spending it on a material possession,” says Dr Gilovich. “In reality, we remember experiences long afterwards, and we also enjoy the anticipation of having an experience more than the anticipation of owning a possession.”

p Research shows that dads want gifts that enable family time, and ways to improve life around the home and outdoors; an adventure experience is a top gift idea

At any time, there may be 200,000 purposebred dogs helping farmers in the livestock industry, fulfilling a pact between humans and canines made more than 9,000 years ago when dogs, sheep and cattle became domesticated. The help of a smart and loyal dog has been a benefit to herders and drovers since time immemorial. Still, it was here in New Zealand that the true potential of a dog as the farmer’s ‘eyes and ears’ was realised. It all began with James Mackenzie, a settler of Scots descent. He indulged in that old Caledonian mischief of helping himself to other people’s livestock, something feuding Highland clans had gotten up to for centuries. Initially, high-country station owners were incredulous that one man and his dog could separate and herd so many animals, then drive them up through the passes of the country, which would come to have Mackenzie’s name. However, when he was eventually captured, it turned out that his secret was the intelligence and loyalty of his working dog, Friday. Able to respond to commands by whistle and gesture, this exceptional dog displayed the traits farmers still look for in a trials champion. These include patience, a good ‘eye’ for staring down stubborn sheep, speed, and Mackenzieendurance.soloved and respected his dog that he agreed to plead guilty if the judge let Friday go to a good home. Mackenzie was pardoned when he agreed to teach others how he trained his remarkable canine assistant. From there, competitions to see who could field the sharpest, smartest dog became part of the fabric of rural life. Friday is immortalised with a statue by Lake Tekapo and also the name of a gourmet hamburger restaurant there, which any dog would appreciate. Today, farm dogs are prized companions and co-workers on farms from the Cape to p Billy is proud of his history and happy to know that his lineage goes back to legendary working dogs like James Mackenzie’s Friday the Bluff. A little-known fact is that farmers prefer black and white colouring to help their canine assistants stand out against the green of the hillside, and the moving white background of the flock. The Kiwi working dog remains a hardy and valuable creature, even as other old-world working breeds like the Rottweiler, Corgi and Old English Sheepdog lose their working traits and become predominantly pets. ¢
