Habitat gives a hand up u by Ayla Miller

“It is great to have something to work towards and to have a stable home. It is the kids future,” said Ms Epere. The home was built by Ngawha prison inmates and is fully insulated. The relationship between the Department of Corrections and Habitat for Humanity means the inmates gain valuable skills to be used upon their release. Ms Epere works as a Home Interaction Programme for Parents and Youngsters coordinator whilst Mr Ihimaera-Mikahere works at Silver Fern Farms in the meat works.
The couple and their three children Ky-Mani, Jaydah-Mc and Breez, had been living in an overcrowded home with sewage problems and were stuck renting places that did not provide a safe and stable living environment. As part of the arrangement, the family contributed 500 hours of ‘sweat equity’ during the building process of their house. They will rent for four years and have eight years to secure a mortgage allowing them to purchase the home through affordable payments.
The four bedroom home on Jervois Street is the fifth house in five years to be built in Dargaville and the organisation took this opportunity to announce a sixth home scheduled for Phoenix Place. “We really want to encourage people who have applied to be a part of the programme before to reapply as they may still be eligible. We also want to thank Habitat for their tremendous help in supporting our town,” said Kaipara Community Health Trust chief executive Debbie Evans. ¢

Esthetica Skin Revision Clinic, based in Dargaville, has qualified in the top five for the DMK ‘win a trip’ competition. Therapist Kimberly Fletcher, who also placed in the top five therapist category, and owner Trisha House will be rewarded with a five day trip to Los Angeles in September to learn from founder and cosmetic chemist Dr Danné Montague-King himself. “We were absolutely blown away by the results. The competition involved 200 clinics throughout Australia and New Zealand and over 400 skin therapists, so for us to place in the top five is amazing,” said Trisha. Senior Esthetica therapist Mieke Lugtigheid also consistently ranked in the top 10 throughout the competition. Between February 1 to March 10 this year, clients who spent $50 or more on DMK products were invited to enter the ‘Win a trip for two to Paris’ competition, stating the clinic and therapist they purchased from. The top five financially performing clinics and skin therapists won a trip to Los
Angeles including accommodation and training. “Kimberly is having a great year. She was also accepted onto the DMK Mentor Programme, one of only two spaces available each year in New Zealand. This involves one-on-one post-graduate training in clinic with the DMK national educator every fortnight.” DMK use biochemistry principals in their range of skin treatments motivated by Dr Montague-King’s own experiences with skin problems in his youth. “The girls are really passionate about their work and it shows. I’m so proud of them.” ¢

Community backs separate councils Arrive Alive...

Community responses are largely in favour of the decision to scrap the proposal to form a ‘super council’ consisting of Far North, Kaipara, Whangarei and the Northland Regional Council.

p Ruth Oliver: “The current council are doing a good job of getting our debt down.”
p Leo Glamuzina: “If we were to merge, we would lose some of the democratic process.”
Only one person of seven interviewed in a Kaipara Lifestyler street poll was against the Local Government Commission’s decision to scrap the proposal. The draft proposal followed an application by the Far North District Council for a local government reorganisation late 2012. It suggested a single unitary authority for the Far North District and seven community boards. The suggestion was released to gauge public support in November 2013 and was met with 90% of submissions
against the idea. Local government commission chief executive Sandra Preston said councils in Northland were identifying alternative systems to run the local government and the commission will work with the community in realising these options. “There needs to be more emphasis on the role of communities identifying the challenges they face, the options that can address those challenges, and the development of more consensus on their preferred approach to change,’’ said Ms Preston.

Kaipara District Council acting chief executive Jill McPherson said: “Clearly the proposal lacked community support. Now we need to show the Commission what we can achieve without reorganisation by working closely together as Councils, and with Iwi.” ¢

Kaipara schools to get hands dirty
New owners for Maungaturoto butcher
u by Ayla Miller

Four schools in the Kaipara have received a share of $20,000 along with 19 other schools, as part of the Northland Regional Council Environmental Curriculum Awards for their environmental education initiatives.
Ken Webster owned the Maungaturoto butcher shop for 30 years, with his son Kyle working alongside him for the last 18 years until the time came to sell the business and live a little.
p New owner Pat and the store butcher Wayne, with samples of the prime meat available in store
p Tangiteroria School students Ethan Crawford, Aydah-Rae Berger, Ahleigha Arnott and Chloe Pedersen are keen to continue their environmental education initiatives.
Otamatea High, Ruawai Primary, Tangiteroria School and Tinopai School have each received funds of up to $1,550 to be used for projects including paper brick making, keeping bees and establishing community gardens. Tangiteroria teacher Tina Bradshaw says the funding will help the school move their long term plan forward. “We’ve got a little green house and will work to set it up with shelving. The kids are excited to get some chickens to look after. “We have also ordered bee suits so students can go with the adults to observe the school bee hives. “We have lots of children who love hands on experiences. It is very valuable teaching time and we hope to arrange a sort of outdoor classroom.” Regional council chairman Bill Shepherd and councillor Craig Brown, who selected this year’s winners, are said to have been impressed by the proposed projects which will involve entire school communities. Councillor Shepherd says the ECA’s recognise and support environmental
education efforts of about 2,000 students in 112 classes and/or school student environmental groups. Councillor Brown says he’s pleased with the good geographic spread among the 23 winners, with seven schools in the Far North, 12 in the Whangarei district and four in Kaipara. ¢

This is
wonderfully generous and we are very appreciative of the support.” One guest will win $500 cash and there will be spot prizes, raffles and roulette wheels. “We all have children that are using the bike park and the playground so we are just looking to give something back.

‘Biggest loser’ challenges staff Rural broadband solution

u by Ann Morgan
Just under 70 Silver Fern Farm staff are exchanging their work boots for running shoes, as they take part in the Dargaville plant’s ‘biggest loser’ challenge.
Frustrated rural communities with substandard internet access have help on the way with Spark announcing its pricing for their new Rural Wireless Broadband.
p Silver Fern Farm ‘biggest loser’ contestants are working together to lose weight
The 12 week programme is based on the reality television show on which contestants work to lose the largest amount of weight for a grand prize. The plant-wide initiative aims to improve overall health and well-being amongst the staff. Participants are divided into teams and weighed in weekly receiving prizes for their efforts which include healthy recipe books, meal plans and fitness programmes as incentives. “We have seen a huge improvement in morale,” says plant manager and participant Lance Warmington. “A number of staff are now walking to work
and there is quite a bit of competitive talk up on the floor and camaraderie. The use of the staff gym has gone up as well.” Strategies with Kids Information for Parents coordinator Yvette Gilchrist says: “It is about role modelling. They can take information home, which leads to happier families. They have been learning about how to control their sugar intake and talking about alternative cooking methods.” The teams are half way through the programme and the individual who loses the most weight will win a Masport barbecue. ¢
“The 4G solution uses a self-installed antenna which simply attaches to the wireless modem. Customers can plugin and go immediately, without waiting for technicians or the need for cables and large aerials,” said head of mobility products David Redmore. “Spark’s 4G Rural Wireless Broadband network, uses more than 150 — 700MHz cell towers operating around rural New Zealand. The towers are specifically designed for rural areas and do not rely on lines. “We have more 700MHz spectrum than any other operator in New Zealand so we can offer the best performance and a seamless experience.” Dairy farmer Tony Walters recently installed Spark Rural Wireless Broadband. He says within minutes of getting the equipment he was able to connect at over 50Mbps — that’s equal to speeds on fibre broadband networks, and up to ten times faster than some existing 3G products. “Data and computing is now an important part of any farming business. We need a reliable and fast broadband connection to monitor and maximise the efficiency of the farm. This gives us the speed we require for processing data, and provides my family the

WARM UP FOR WINTER A cure for winter chills
A smart way to keep the heat u by Andy Bryenton
Winter is well and truly with us, and the arithmetic of heat versus cost is very much at the forefront of local minds.
p When it’s cold outside, there are few pleasures greater than curling up on the couch with a good movie. Chris, Wendy and the team at Dargaville’s Blue 2 Blu-ray and DVD centre can certainly recommend some good winter viewing, with a whole crop of new films out on rental now. And they’ve got old-style popcorn and candy floss to go with them too!
ENJOY SOME FAMILY TIME THIS WINTER NOTHING BEATS FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT WHEN ITS COLD OUTSIDE

DO YOU WANT WARM & TOASTY FEET THIS WINTER?
Those with fireplaces at their disposal have, by now, laid in stores of dry firewood to tide them through the winter months, but the usual problem of this time-tested means of heating still exists for most. How can the heat from a roaring fire be spread evenly throughout the home? We’ve all felt it — a toasty warm lounge room and freezing cold bedrooms. Even in a well insulated house which has been rendered dry and healthy by adequate ventilation, it is still irksome to have to resort to inefficient electric heaters for the far-flung areas on the home. One answer lies with heat transfer systems, a technology which has been improving rapidly over recent years. Put simply, a well insulated living room traps excess heat near the ceiling. Unable to escape through thick batts,
that heat builds up overhead, where it is of little use. A modern heat trans switches on via a thermostat when the heat above the firebox reaches a preset threshold. At this point, powerful, quiet fans duct the warm air through heavily insulated tubes, sending it direct to other rooms of the house. These systems were once somewhat inefficient, due to loud or weak motors and poorly insulated ducting. But nowadays, modern heat transfer systems can pour warmth into bedrooms with barely a whisper, using cleverly designed diffusers to make sure it reaches everywhere. If your home has a well insulated ceiling cavity, this kind of system — usually able to be installed for around the $1,000 mark — could eliminate the need for electric heaters when the fireplace is burning bright. ¢

Welcome to Wellsford Unveiled brides through time Maths pays u by Ann Morgan
The Albertland Heritage museum in Wellsford is celebrating early Kaipara settlement with an accent on weddings as its annual commemoration of the pioneers who arrived from 1862 onwards. Albertland was the name given to a 70,000 acre swathe of land bordering the northern river valleys of the Kaipara Harbour stretching from Port Albert through to Ruawai. “The museum celebrates the Albertland migration, and has images and items going back to these times,” said museum manager Peter Marsh. “This year we are doing something different for the annual commemorative p Wedding dresses dating back to the 1800s are on display revealing part of the Albertland history event, acknowledging the departure of the first Albertlanders “We have priceless and irreplaceable from England.” collections from many pioneer Albertland Museum volunteers have created families and there is a mural on the an exhibition featuring bridal gowns exterior of the building which has been and wedding attire.

p Tomarata School held a ‘Mathathon’ fundraiser, with students working in teams to use their problem-solving skills to answer questions, competing against their classmates. “The event was jointly organised by the school and a team of hard-working parents,” said principal Lynne Duffin. “Funds raised will go towards our playground equipment goal for the year. The students thoroughly enjoyed the event, and prizes for the first team with all 10 answers correct in each class were presented on the day.”

“We decided this year that as it is a community activity we should be supporting a good community project,” said publican, Justin Healey. “The school was an obvious choice as many participants have children enrolled there, and of course, fishing is something the youngsters can be involved in on the day. So all proceeds from the event, including the auction of wild pork and fish, will go into the school coffers to pay for all those extras that otherwise might be outside the normal budget, perhaps for equipment, sports gear, or school trips.” The contest takes place over three days from June 19 to 21, concluding at 3pm on Sunday 21st with a prizegiving at 4pm, followed by the auction. “We will be having a hangi dinner that evening, with non-competitors welcome to buy a ticket, and there will be live music. Tickets are available at outlets across the Kaipara, and kids under 12 are free,” said Mr Healey.

With a busy start to the 2015/16 season in agriculture, backed up by a very successful national Fieldays last week, plans are afoot for a new rural support centre at the convergence of state highways 12 and 14 in Dargaville.
The planned centre will combine farming implements, machinery and tractor repair, oil, lubricants, parts, ag chemicals and spray equipment under one roof, bringing together all these services under the Primehort banner at the site of their existing Dargaville store. This means a shift from their recently purchased Kaipara Agri Centre site in Beach Road. In order to make the move a smooth one the Kaipara Agri Centre is currently holding a closing down sale, but this is far from the end for this strand of the business. All the services currently offered at the long-established Beach Road location are planned to shift to the new and expanded premises just across town, with plans well in train for a grand opening which

will see a wide range of farm support services under one roof before the Spring. It’s a move which is well in line with current trends in farming. With so much to be accomplished on the land each day, the convenience of having so many vital services in one place is a nationwide trend, and experience elsewhere in the country shows that such a move toward amalgamation will prove popular with busy farmers. The people at Primehort encourage their customers to ‘watch this space’ as their plans for a Kaipara rural hub come together, and assure us of a warm welcome when the gates are opened on their new endeavour in weeks to come.

There I was ata top ofa drive up fruma kattil stop, waitin’ faythfully like a good Borda Colly, fer tha Boss to come home froma Feel Daze at Mistry Creek, an’ wot do I get. A pat an’ a scratch behind me ears. Nah! Boss launchis inta another rant about sumthin’ or other. “Yep Dog,” he sed again.” Blimmin wool and beef pricis go up a bit, bluddy deary prices go threw tha floor. Yah can’t blimmin’ win.” Well, soun’s like the Feel Daze was a bit ofa downer then? Musta bin ‘cos this year Boss didn’t hava ute loaded up with stuff ta stick under tha woolshed, like he did the las’ few years. Boss musta red my mind. “Didn’t take me check book this yeer,” he sed, just as Sharlene, his gerlfrend came ova ta the shed, He give her a kiss. “Well deah,” sed Sharlene. “Wot did yer bring me?” Well, tha Boss pulled back the tarp ona ute and there was a new lorn mower. I cood see Sharlene was a bit surprised, but she looked ata Boss a bit sideways, ta see wot he was gonna say. Boss gotta messige too. “Yep, deah. Wen I saw you doin’ tha lawns atta

Boss looked at me an’ give a wink. “Whew, quick thinkin’ there, eh Dog?” Later over a cuppatee, Boss tole Sharlene that sum farmers getting a bit down ina dumps cosa Fonterror cutting milk prices. “Blokes at Feel Daze wot just got deary — not like us wiv crops, an’ beef, and sheep, with just deary ona runoff — well they lookin’ sideways at Fonterror. We get a good payout one seesin, and then a bad one. So Fonterror sez it’ll cut down on staff. Well, if they don’t need so much staff, why did they hire ‘em ta head office ina first place? They shooda saved up ina good yeers ta tide ova the bad yeers. Blimmin’ nee jerk I reckin.” Then Sharlene cut in. “Yes deah. Fonterror sed, an’ she read outa tha paper: ‘its decision to restructure its head office, with the possible loss of
