Art in gum at Dargaville Museum by Joanne Speechly
An exceptional collection of kauri gum crafted into beautiful sculptures, has been donated to the Dargaville Museum by the craftsman himself, Tom Potter The retired farmer from Hikurangi has spent most of his life carving kauri gum after falling in love with the precious resin as a 10-year-old. From that youthful moment, Tom started collecting gum at every opportunity but did not start to carve the resin until after he returned from the Second World War. The carving, melting and sculpting all took time and patience on the part of the self-taught artisan, who also turns his own wood and makes furniture. Tom’s huge collection of gum crafts can be seen at Jack Morgan museum in Hukerenui where Tom farmed, the Kauri Museum, Whangarei Museum and Hikurangi Museum. He also has ‘a house full’ of crafts. “I polished my first piece of gum when I came back from the war,” said Tom. “There was gum everywhere at that stage — we even managed to sell some of it.” His farm was littered with kauri tree stumps and logs and when the land was cleared, gum was scattered throughout the area. “After I find or buy a piece of gum, I sit it on the kitchen bench and just stare at it. I study it until I come up with an idea.” The Tom Potter collection at Dargaville Museum includes an imitation Bible, spheres and replica monuments from New Zealand and overseas. Tom said although his eyesight is failing him, he still practises his art when he can.
The series of errors and omissions have been identified following a promised financial review of the council’s books and cover a number of areas. Recently appointed council chief executive, Steve Ruru, who succeeded former CEO, Jack McKerchar, said there were a number of factors involved. “The big issues which have contributed to the deficit include

an anticipated $1.2 million of receivable interest which was never realistic, and consequently was not received,” Mr Ruru said. “Approximately $2.5 million was missed out of the Annual Plan. An example of this is the grant to the Cinema Trust which was agreed to but never included. Stormwater targeted rates of some $450,000 were budgeted for but not levied or set.

“To reduce the impact of these errors council has moved to make a number of operational savings and reduce capital expenditure where possible. While the savings that have been made are sizeable it has not been possible to completely offset the errors made and hence the need for increased borrowing.” continued on page 3 . . .

Maungaturoto’s Otamatea Repertory Theatre is gearing up for the 50th celebrations of ORT becoming an incorporated society. The theatre itself was built in 1982 and opened by then Governor General, the Hon Sir David Beattie. ORT as it is known today grew out of the Paparoa Drama Club, the Maungaturoto Entertainment Group and the Otamatea Repertory Society, which eventually all came together under one umbrella. For half a century ORT has provided a training ground for many talented performers and provided sophisticated entertainment for hundreds of people. Dennise Brownlie, who is organising the celebrations with Brian Dent, says committee members thought the 50 year mark was a really good excuse to have a party. “We’ll be holding the celebration on Waitangi weekend — February 4 and 5,” said Dennise.
“On the Saturday, we’ll have the registration in the morning, a lunch and fun things in the afternoon, including tours of the theatre because a lot of things have changed. In the evening we’ll be having a gala dinner at the Country Club. “Sunday will start with a brunch, followed by a concert in the afternoon, which is when everyone gets a chance to jump up and do an item. After that we’ll close, giving everyone a chance to catch up and travel home on the Monday. “We’re looking for anyone who has ever had anything to do with the theatre to come along.” Dennise is also writing a book, which will be available for purchase during the weekend. It will include the funny moments, lots of photos, history and memories. For more information, people can visit the website http://ort.org.nz.

From Ruawai to Milan by Joanne Speechly
A talented young Ruawai designer has been selected to exhibit her new furniture range at the Milan Furniture Fair — Salone Internazionale del Mobile The yearly event is the holy grail of exhibitions and has been a launching pad for some of the world’s most well known brands. Michelle Huertas is one of only 700 young designers and design students worldwide to be selected by Salone Satellite to exhibit her debut Trēhaus brand in April. The fair is attended by over 280,000 people every year, including designers, manufacturers, marketing managers, buyers and international media. “Salone Satellite was set up by Michelle Huertas — one of only 700 selected worldwide Cosmit, who are the people that run “My debut range was designed here, so it the furniture fair, as a way to be able to display up and coming designers.

The beach beat
Dargaville Police Community Constable Ian Anderson will be hitting the hot spots this summer patrolling Kauri Coast beaches and the iconic Kai Iwi Lakes. The beach beat got underway last week and will continue for several weeks in an effort to keep popular spots safe for residents and summer visitors. “This is the third year that we have been patrolling hot spots,” said Constable Anderson. “Last year, I couldn’t go out as much but this year I’ll be out for four to five hours a day, every day.” Ian said his role as a community constable seems to flow but essentially it is about getting out there, being seen and talking to members of the public. In recent years there has been concern raised about vehicle safety on beaches, particularly motorbikes. Among the concern from beachgoers is; drivers failing to observe speed limits, unsupervised children on motorbikes and quads, and riding without helmets, dangerous driving and noisy inconsiderate behaviour.

More debt sparks rates rise signal
Mayor Neil Tiller said that while it was “disappointing that errors of this magnitude were made, council is pleased that staff are now providing full financial reports that provide a clear understanding of our financial challenges.” He added that rates in Kaipara had been kept artificially low for a number of years. “It is clear that rates will need to be increased significantly to enable council to move forward instead of backwards as it has been doing. We will be looking to get community input on the options for addressing these issues as part of the upcoming 2012/2022 Ten Year Plan consultation process.”

But overall, the contrast between our region and say, Rotorua, on the tourism front is profound. Sit at a coffee shop on the shores of Lake Rotorua and watch the traffic, listen to a dozen languages from passers-by and note the wide variety of accommodation from budget to luxury and some of the reasons why become apparent. Not the least of these is the highly visible presence of local government.
This is a series of regular articles keeping you informed of happenings on our harbour today, and from bygone days — truly the ‘Jewel of the Kaipara’.
Tapping into tourism by Paul Campbell It is tourist time for many parts of New Zealand, and a holiday trip down through Rotorua has served to illustrate the rather stark contrast that exists between the Kaipara, literally on Auckland’s doorstep, and places further afield that are trapping the lions’ share of the tourism dollar. It poses the question of just why this should be? After all, the Kaipara region is a mere hour-and-a-half or so from Auckland. But then, it is sparsely catered for in terms of accommodation. There are delightful B and B’s and well-served camping grounds, with an assortment of hotels and motels. But the overriding puzzle for me is the fact that we have the biggest harbour in the southern hemisphere and beaches to rival anything in the world along the west coast. By comparison with the shore of Lake Rotorua, Tarawera, and similar spots some three hours from Auckland, these are largely deserted except for domestic visitors — by and large — who have established the north as their preferred holiday spot, and some adventurous camper-vanners.
The Rotorua District Council is very hands on. Of course it is also a matter of infrastructure. The thermal ‘wonderland’ has a huge part to play — although a whiff of sulphur fumes did little to impress my fellow travellers, old friends from Hong Kong. But the key element of their stay around the lakes was a fishing trip. Four hours on a well-appointed lake catamaran, a pleasant picnic lunch, and two trout on the line — only one landed — was the pinnacle point of their holiday.
Hong Kong visitors Henry and Rita Parwani believed that a days fishing alone was worth all the travel and air fares
“The day alone was worth the airfares and all the travel,” said my friend Henry. I could not help then extolling the virtues of the Kaipara, with a few stories about casual fishing excursions and the quota catches we have enjoyed on our expansive harbour. “Heck — why didn’t we visit you up there?” was his reply. It is a vexing question. We are so close to Auckland, we have a magnificent harbour, we have a world-beating attraction in The Kauri Museum among many other varied attractions. We have spectacular scenery and a magnificent coastline.
One can’t help thinking that with a little more entrepreneurial spirit, Kaipara could tap more into the international visitor market. But sometimes, it is all about perception and there is nothing perhaps more powerful than word of mouth. To this end, a couple who are regular visitors to Kaipara and Northland have gone to the internet to spread the word on their favourite destination. Take a look at their You Tube offering at http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=OojOgcZpLpA. It’s worth the time to enter in the characters, and it might inspire more local efforts to get Kaipara on the world-wide tourist map.

A great Christmas present For Pahi waterside resident, Tony Louisson, Christmas brought a special gift, as he went from ‘creakingly slow and unreliable’ dial-up internet to high speed wireless broadband in the space of an hour or so. “It was marvellous,” he said. “Not only could I peruse the newspapers on-line in the holidays and check out the real-time weather, I was able to amaze my wife, Dene, with live pictures of a panda bear in China.” His sentiments have been echoed by a number of residents on the eastern side of the Pahi peninsula who have signed up with wireless broadband provider, Uber Group. The Whangarei-based company has extended its coverage in Kaipara with a new transmitter at Whakapirau, beaming into an area at Pahi that was formerly only connected by unstable copper-wire to terrestrial internet providers. “Uber Group covers Northland from Te Kao to Warkworth and Snells Beach from over 100 transmission sites,” said managing director, Hayden Simon. “The new transmission site provides coverage on the eastern side of Pahi in areas where it hasn’t been available before.” Local resident, Ralph Williams, says his new service “really pops and fizzes. It’s great, with excellent speeds. I was also impressed when they said that while they ‘hoped’ to have it in by Christmas, they then duly delivered before the holiday break.”

Glinks Gully welcomes the new year The weather was anything but tropical but that didn’t stop about 50 people turning up to Glinks Gully on the first of January for the annual Glinks Gully New Year’s Family Open Sports Day. With high seas, temperatures ranging between 17 and 21 degrees and winds getting up to seven kilometres an hour, event organiser Ronnie Antonio watched the preceding weather carefully to see if the event could go ahead. “I was rapt with the turnout considering the weather,” said Ronnie. “While attendance was down, everybody got involved and had a good time.”
Emma Adams (junior Miss Glinks Gully) and Erin Dwyer (senior Miss Glinks Gully)
On the day, organisers managed to get through all of the planned activities. Hayley Gilcrest won the 100 metre Tuatua Cup, Ethan Johnstone, took the 120 metre Toheroa Cup, Sue Botica was first in the senior Tuatua Cup and Andrew Wheeler triumphed in the Senior Toheroa Cup.

Excited by career change The 22 years served as a veterinarian in the Kaipara district has given local real estate professional Nicky Reid a good chance to see our beautiful part of the country first hand. Helping people (and animals!) has always been a big part of her life, including a proud record of service with both the Ruawai Fire Brigade and the Dargaville St John Ambulance Service. Now, stepping into the interesting and diverse world of Real Estate, Nicky relishes the opportunity to help people achieve their dreams and goals. A background as a solecharge manager for a 1500 acre farm in the Hawkes Bay means that Nicky is more than familiar with the rural sector, too — and that’s great news for farmers looking to buy or sell property. Working with the experienced team at Ray White’s Dargaville offices, Nicky is keen to bring her unique skills and hard-working attitude to her customers. She says that there’s a lot of crossover between being a vet and working in real estate, especially the dedication it takes to get the job done right! “I enjoy going the extra mile for people,” she says “It makes me feel good! I’m looking forward to helping people through a time of change in their lives, and will enjoy doing my best to make it as stress-free as possible for them. “ Nicky and her partner Mick Matich know firsthand what a great place this is to live. Not only for fishing (Mick is a well known local flounder fisherman) but for the outdoors lifestyle afforded by the Kaipara’s wide open spaces.

Mangawhai gala triumphs

Mousaka (Baked Eggplant)
by Joanne Speechly
Try this Paraschos family favourite with Greek One Spice
The Kaipara’s unseasonal weather during the festive season created trying circumstances for many holiday makers and threatened the viability of annual events. Despite this, the Mangawhai Gala triumphed against all odds. “It went extremely well but it was touch and go with the weather,” said gala co-ordinator, John Dickie. “Nonetheless, the Domain Committee is very pleased with the day. “If it had been the day before or the day after it would have been very difficult — if it had been two days earlier it would have been an unmitigated disaster. Because of the rain and windy conditions we had the pull-out tractor ready but it was used less than 10 times!” The Domain Committee extends a special thanks to the attendees, stallholders and event providers for their patience and understanding. “As always, the support of the team of over 100 volunteers and the donations and sponsorship from local businesses is much appreciated, as is the public for attending the gala. Our attendance figures are based on estimates from entrance fees — either per carload or per family — and we think about 5,500–6,000 came through.”
Stallholder bookings for 2012 was just over 200 and all but about 15 turned up despite the weather. The number of events and rides was also up from previous years. Nett profits for the day were slightly up on last year, which John said is extremely pleasing. Funds raised will represent about 75 per cent of the domain’s annual operating, maintenance and minor capital improvement expenses for the community-owned facility. “We’re still getting over this year’s event but preparations are already underway for next year and we are accommodating suggestions from the public and stallholders alike. “The committee’s triple policy is to give the public a good day, make money for the facility and enable stallholders and event providers to have a profitable day. We think we continue to achieve all three — but we always want to do better next time.” John advises that prospective stallholders should get in early and book their place now.

Enthusiasts restore the classics The Dargaville contingent of Northland Vintage Car Club is a passionate bunch of car enthusiasts who gather monthly to share their trials, triumphs and news. The motor-minded group also organise monthly runs, much to the delight of onlookers. “Basically we’re a bunch of enthusiastic oldies,” said George Tier, who ‘chairs’ the local meetings. “Some of us have been interested in vintage cars since the early 1960s and we’ve just added
new members as they come along. We have about 20 people at our meeting, including members and their wives. The women folk play a big part and place quite a lot of importance on the social element of our group. “We all own old cars — some of us far too many and I’m included in that, with four old cars and a couple of old motorbikes.” George is a former motor mechanic but says mechanical expertise is not essential to appreciating old cars. However, all

of George’s four cars are roadworthy and his 1930 Buick is currently up for sale. “I’ve restored a number of cars over the years and quite a number of them have been what you’d call basket cases.” George concludes that the Dargaville vintage car group is also about old fools having fun however, new members of any age are welcome as long as they have a passion for classic vehicles. People can contact George on 09 439 8911.

Darren O’Connor is loving the change of pace and the (usually) sunny weather of Ruawai, the town he’s adopted as his home after emigrating to New Zealand six years ago. And while his experiences in the auto trade in his native Great Britain have provided a wealth of knowledge and expertise, the friendly local mechanic is pleased to finally have his own workshop and business in the Kaipara. Starting from this week, Darren takes over from Y-Not Autos, rebranding the site as Ruawai Auto Services. But while the name may be new, many locals will already know the quality of Darren’s work — he’s been busy for the last two years as a mobile mechanic, getting all over the district in his van to keep Kaipara locals moving! He’s also served a tenure with the wellknown Dargaville Ford team, as well as repairing quads and motorcycles for the rural community. In fact, if it has an engine you can be sure that this well-rounded mechanic has the skills and know-how to get it running and keep it running smoothly! After all, he’s been working on all kinds of motors for the last 25 years. Previous owner Tony is certain that his old workshop and his valued customers are in reliable hands, he’s moving on to focus on his coach and bus business, putting the finishing touches to a change-over three years in the making. Darren warmly welcomes all of his Ruawai ‘regulars’ to stop in and say hello, as well as extending an invitation to anyone and everyone

FRESH FISH
Café Eutopia fits the bill precisely with delectable organic food right on State Highway 1 — it’s impossible to miss their building and I’d urge you not to miss their range of superbly healthy meals — perfect for those on the go. Also ideal for travellers are the delectable pies prepared fresh by Real Town Pies — you’ll find them at (among others) Dargaville BP, Oakleigh Caltex, Odd Sox Café, Paparoa Store and, of course, at Real Town Pizza their place of origin. Tokatoka Tavern are serving up a relaxed dining experience in their outdoor garden area — the perfect place to enjoy some sunshine and a cold drink or two. Meanwhile, down the road in Ruawai, the Ruawai Pizza Bar are serving up sizzling steaks to complement their mouth watering range of pizzas — there’s nothing quite like the taste of a juicy steak cooked to perfection.
Brr......Mmmm
Speaking of perfection, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to the Top Shop’s selection of fresh rolls and sandwiches. There’s something here to suit all tastes, bursting with fresh ingredients and healthy options. You’ll find that the old adage ‘fresh is best’ applies at Ahlayz as well — they’re rightly famous for their fresh fish, and you’re sure to be delighted by their good old traditional fish and chips, or their big hearty hamburgers! The Horseshoe Café at the top of the town are famous for their hot breakfasts, but don’t pass them by for lunch, that same value and quality are a big part of what makes their range of custom sandwiches delicious. And lastly — but by no means least important — there’s a whole summer of excellent live music to accompany the cuisine at the Funky Fish Cafe & Bar. Putting the ‘funky’ into the name of this iconic Baylys Beach establishment is a wide range of talented musicians, who will accompany the artistry of the eatery’s top chefs!
