Major development plan for Mangawhai
by Anna Harding
Kaipara residents became New Zealand citizens last Tuesday, at a ceremony for 19 people in the Northern Wairoa War Memorial Hall.
Initial plans show scope for a town square, secondary school, retirement village, medical centre, supermarket, eateries and residential housing. Viranda Partners chairman, Andrew Guest said community engagement will be important as would be respecting the unique character and heritage of Mangawhai. “When the opportunity to be involved in this Mangawhai project was brought to our attention we had no doubt about the potential in the area. “The catalyst motivating us to proceed was recognising the importance of ensuring that the Mangawhai Central area was not only developed as it was able to be, but that it successfully brought together the different facets of the community — residential, holiday, retirement areas and the different community groups,” he said. He said the facets would be “paramount” to
the project. Mangawhai Business Development Association chairman, Richard Gunson said the association was pleased that someone would be taking on the development of that site. “It plays a very important part in Mangawhai’s growth and development as a community. “There is a resource consent that goes with the property which we are happy with and will work with the developers to assist where we can to facilitate it,” he said. “It’s going to have an impact on economy because they are going to do the best possible to use local contractors and they are actually wanting the project to get underway. It’s an exciting time.” While the project remains in the early stages the newly formed mangawhaicentral.co.nz has been set up to detail progress.
New Zealand citizens from the Kaipara with Mayor Greg Gent
The range of nationalities including the United States, England, Wales, India and South Africa, came from across Kaipara. Donice Hall-Morris who is originally from Texas said that she was ‘over the moon’ to receive citizenship. Donice co-owns the Aratapu Hotel and lives on the Pouto peninsula with her husband Richard Morris. She came to New Zealand 17 years ago to meet Richard’s parents as they were engaged “and fell in love with the place. I intend to retire here, die here,
3
be buried here — I love this part of the world.” Kaipara District Council Mayor Greg Gent started off the formalities with a welcoming speech. “It is an honor at which you can be proud,” he said. “It’s our pleasure and duty to welcome you to this community. The strength of New Zealand is in small towns and I encourage you all to get involved in the community.” Each citizen read the oath of allegiance, before watching a welcoming video and singing the national anthem.

QSM presentation
by Joanna Manson
The rush for tickets for this year’s Art’n’Tartan Wearable Art Awards in Waipu, is now on and with a high number of entries, rehearsals for the July 21 and 22 shows are well under way.
Mangawhai fireman Maurice Doughty was presented his Queen’s Services Medal for services to the New Zealand Fire Service by Governor General, Dame Patsy Reddy in Wellington recently. Mr Doughty has been involved in the fire service for just over 56 years and began his career in Auckland before moving to the Mangawhai Fire Brigade. “It was certainly an honour to receive the medal and we thoroughly enjoyed the day down at Government House — the fire service certainly looked after us which was greatly appreciated,” he said.

Director Helen Frances, who returns this year after a break has a line-up of entertainers to complement the entrants throughout the show. Marketing and publicity manager Annie Newall, said she was excited for the Dream World category. “I am really looking forward to the blacklight section Dream Word — Weird and Wonderful. Being a first time for the show, I believe it has potential to offer designers a new challenge and a more
creative and innovative way of using materials under UV lighting that can create that wow factor.” Jayden Randolph an ex-student from Bream Bay College will be stretching his creative skills to impress his local community as he takes on the role of 2017 choreographer. The show is split into three performances. Opening night is on July 21 at 8pm, July 22 features a 2pm matinee followed by the awards night at 8pm at the Waipu Celtic Barn.

School recognised at national level by Anna Harding
Dargaville Intermediate school is a finalist for the 27th annual Green Ribbon Awards which recognises ‘outstanding contributions by individuals, communities and organisations to protect and manage New Zealand’s environment’.
From left: Enviromental teacher and deputy principal Diane Papworth and students Zoe Godfrey, Harmony Covacich, Fred Douglas, Max Hutchings and Daniel Grbin
It is one of three finalists in the ‘Leadership in Communication and Education’ section. Winners are announced on Thursday, June 8. The nursery was started six years ago by environmental teacher and deputy principal Diane Papworth and school caretaker Dennis Hewetson. Diane said “I just entered to put our school out there and didn’t realise we’d be a finalist, its pretty cool. All of our efforts are being recognised.” The nursery has expanded every year and has contributed tens of thousands
of plants to the Kaipara Harbour restoration project. The students, who chose to be part of the school’s ‘Enviro Kaha Club’ say they love it because they like helping the environment and being outdoors. Student Max Hutchings said that what they plant on field trips stops sand dunes and soil eroding and absorbs runoff on farms and provides shelter for livestock. This year the school had a target to grow 10,000 plants which they have done, making them the only school in New Zealand to produce so many.

New coach for swim team by Joanna Manson
The Dargaville special Olympics swimming team is underway with training thanks to new coach, Leesa Andrews. After a few months without a coach, Greenways team manager, Ros Gilmour said the swimming team welcomes Leesa onboard to “guide our swimmers to achieve their goals.” Recently swimmer Andy Daly competed at the Bay of Islands T2 swimming event alongside the rest of the team that he will compete with at Nationals in Wellington later this year. “Andy won a gold medal for 25-metre freestyle, a silver medal for 25-metre backstroke and a silver for the relay. He competed against swimmers from the Bay of Islands, North Harbour, Taranaki, Counties, Howick/Pakuranga, and the Waitakeres,” said Ros. She said the competition was a good opportunity for Andy to become more familiar with his new teammates. At this stage Andy will be the only representative from Dargaville joining with Whangarei for the combined nationals’ team. “In preparation Andy is perfecting his flip turns, diving and making sure everything is done correctly. He has also been working on his fitness and conscientiously working on healthy eating.” The team trains at the Dargaville High School pool on Thursdays from
Andy Daly with his medals from the Bay of Islands T2 swimming event
4.30–5.30pm. They also participate in athletics and football, and attend ‘Ribbon Days’ and other events competing throughout Northland and Auckland during the year.

Ensuring people are safe around our electricity network in Kaipara and Whangarei Districts is critical. We are constantly working hard to ensure people working around our lines understand the importance of safety and the correct practices that must be carried out in order to keep them safe. There are health and safety regulations and codes of practice which must be followed by electricity lines companies, contractors or members of the public. When working under lines it is imperative to stay outside the Minimum Approach Distance (MAD) of 4m. When working near overhead lines or power poles it is a legal requirement that you follow the minimum safe distances as set down by New Zealand Electrical Code of Practice – NZECP 34:2001 Electrical Safe Distances. This document is available from www.energysafety.govt.nz All work activity must be kept at least four metres from overhead lines. If you need to work closer to our overhead lines you must get a Close Approach Consent from Northpower which takes two working days to process. Another important rule is that you cannot dig within five metres of one of our power poles without a Close Approach Consent. And depending on the depth of excavations, you may need additional pole supports to prevent poles collapsing.

Rotary gives thanks
Second chance winner
by Anna Harding
by Joanna Manson
Dargaville Rotary recently held a ‘thanks function’ which included guest speakers from More FM, and an acknowledgement of the many people who have helped them and the community.
The Mangawhai Zonta Club has announced Jacqueline Busby as the recipient of the 2017 Second Chance Study Award.

Ross Newlove receiving his Citizen’s Award from Rotary President Bill Fitness
The guest speakers for the night were John Markby and Angela ‘Flash’ Gordon from More FM Northland radio, who in conjunction with Rotary donated $400 to the Dargaville Fire Brigade. Rotary’s annual Citizen’s Award which acknowledges ‘some-one in our community who has selflessly contributed to making it a better place for all of us’ was presented to Ross Newlove. Ross, a retired sheep and beef farmer, was an officer in the territorial forces for around 17 years, before working with the Dargaville 57 Squadron of the Air Training Corp for 10 years.
He was also a Kaipara district councillor for 12 years from 1989 and was the council’s Taha Awa Riverside Gardens appointee. He has been a Friend of the Gardens Trust and garden labourer since. His other involvements include Big River FM, Greenways Trust, Northland Agricultural Field Days, Dargaville Museum committee, the local Scout group, being a mentor in literacy and numeracy at Silver Fern Farms, and the Northern Wairoa RSA. “It was most unexpected — but it was certainly an honour to receive it” said Ross.
Second Chance Study 2017 recipient Jacqueline Busby and Mangawhai Zonta Club president Isabel Hollis
This is the second year the award has been offered to any woman residing in the Mangawhai, Kaiwaka, Maungaturoto or Bream Bay area who is furthering their educational studies. “Jacqueline is a most deserving recipient who was chosen from a very competitive slate of candidates after a rigorous selection process. She is in her second year of nursing studies at NorthTec and is interested in pursuing a career in paramedics,” said club member, Sue Poynter. The $2,500 included with the award
will be largely used to assist with transport costs to enable her to attend placements and course time in Whangarei. The award is made possible through fundraising events such as the Zonta midwinter ball. This year it will be held on July 29 with entertainment provided from the Renegades band, and tickets will be available from Bammas and the Mangawhai Pharmacy.

Many of the common problems can be treated with simple minor procedures done either at the clinic or at Kensington Hospital. The emphasis at the clinic is on making sure women have as much information as possible about their own health on which to base their decisions as to the type of treatment that is best for them. Dr. Rachel Moss, the specialist gynaecologist, can see you to make a thorough gynaecological assessment and discuss options for treatment. A GP referral can be helpful but is not essential.

Classics return to Dargaville by Andy Bryenton
June is the month for classic fare in all senses of the word — and for all the senses. Delicious midwinter Christmas roasts, exotic Thai cuisine and a feast of classic movies all come together to provide plenty of reasons to brave the cold and get out and about in Dargaville. Starting on June 16, the Anzac Theatre, in association with the generous folks from the local Rotary club, presents the third annual Classics Film Festival, bringing timeless gems of cinema back to the silver screen. Movies such as My Fair Lady, On the Waterfront and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid will light up the theatre, bringing back the artistry of classic directors and superstar actors. There’s plenty for the kids, with musical romps Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins delivering songs, laughs and whimsical storytelling. For the lads, there’s a real treat — cult favourite road movie Vanishing Point delivers one of the best car chases ever committed to film, starring one man’s desperate race in an iconic Dodge Challenger
muscle car across the desert. Good news for fans of Thai spices and exotic tastes — Raan A Haan Thai Aroi Dee is back in action, with proprietors Don and Rose returning from their journey to Thailand and ready to deliver some fresh flavour sensations. Their odyssey to the East this time involved establishing a Kiwi restaurant in the heart of the Thai kingdom, with great success! Over at the Aratapu Tavern you’ll find it’s time for Christmas already. After all, who needs an excuse to tuck into a hearty winter roast with all the trimmings, served up with the festive cheer of a northern yuletide celebration? With frost on the lawn and a fire roaring away in the hearth, it’s the perfect way to enjoy the Christmas season twice this year!

WHY GO TO MYSTERY CREEK?
YOUR LOCAL HOME OF YAMAHA HAS IT ALL! Even a detailed diagram can mean different things to different people. That’s when it’s good to know that there’s a veritable army of professionals on call, ready to swing into action thanks to the greatest gift of the world’s automakers to the tradesperson — the humble van. The earliest vans, such as the Ford Econoline, Transit and the Dodge A100, quickly became mobile workshops for builders, plumbers and electricians worldwide. In New Zealand, there were even modifications made to cars to turn them into tradies’ wagons — the origin
of the sedan-style ute. Now you’ll find all manner of mobile services at your disposal, using modified trucks and vans to carry everything from panels of glass to security systems, pumps and building materials. Modern batteries even mean it’s possible to run power tools direct from an inverter, making any place accessible by 4x4 into a worksite. Got a project to tackle or a problem to solve? The professionals on these pages have the mobile hardware and the skills to see you right!

Some of the biggest chores of the winter season involve tackling timber — from slicing through firewood to cutting back trees which may otherwise pose a hazard during seasonal storms. In order to make short — and safe — work of these tasks, Stihl has been hard at work further refining its saws and safety gear. It’s a process which the Scandinavian company’s engineers have been at for decades, and each year they manage to find new ways to improve the reliability, ease of use and safety of their core products in the field of chainsaws. For 2017 the range of sizes and options is bigger than ever, with new cutting technology suited to every arena from the backyard to the forest. Having a large range means it’s easier to choose the right sized saw for any given situation. Part of cutting efficiently and safely is selecting the right sized machine for any given task, and the Stihl range spans the small, firewood friendly MS 170 and MS 180 through to the big Magnum, designed for forestry. Across the range, the options for ease of operation also abound, with improved technology delivering an easier pull start, tool-free locking and tensioning of the chain itself, and advances in engine mounting to reduce vibration. At the very edge, Stihl has been hard at work refining the bite of its saws for longer chain life. In applications such as the building industry, where timber may be contaminated by cement residues, or in pruning and garden maintenance, where it’s necessary to work close to the ground, the new Duro 3 carbide-tipped chain developed by Stihl’s engineers

Stihl’s patented new alloy for chainsaw teeth delivers a longer working life and safer cutting
has been tested to last up to ten times longer than conventional chains. That means more work between sharpenings, and more efficient cutting when it comes to dirty wood. Finally, Stihl has kept pace with the need for extreme safety equipment to match its chainsaws. Alongside tough ear and eye protection, Stihl’s specially designed chainsaw chaps are built to
trap the blade of a running chainsaw with unbreakable fibres should it come into contact with the operator’s legs, preventing the number one cause of serious injury while cutting. If your current equipment has just come out of the shed for winter and is looking the worse for wear, a step up to more modern gear might save more than just time and effort this season.

Long nights mark shed and garage season by Andy Bryenton
Winter, for some, means long evenings spent watching entire series on Netflix or Amazon, reading books put aside for the cold weather in front of the fire, or simply tucking up warm and counting the days until spring. But for others it’s a time to light the work lamps and retire to that bastion of winter projects — the shed. With images of open roads and sunshine in mind, a certain group of people see the cold weeks ahead as a time for greasy hands, the odd skinned knuckle or two, meticulously laid out arrangements of classic screws, washers and pieces of chrome trim, and Haynes workshop manuals fattened by Post-it notes. In short, winter is shed and garage time, a section of the calendar when projects take shape with the aid of thermos flasks full of tea or soup, and activities unthinkable during the long summer evenings — with their BBQs and fishing trips — are finally taken off the back burner. For many, this will not be the first winter spent stripping and planing, boring and honing, welding and painting. Most of those who succumb to the classic vehicle bug have more than one project on the go, and we know as gospel things which our friends and loved ones shake their heads at in disbelief. There’s only a little more work left to go. It will all come together once those last elusive parts arrive from somewhere overseas, via
the Internet. The sound of that engine coming back to life after years spent in rust and dust will herald the rebirth of a machine that’s worth, well, far more than just a sharp kick of nostalgia and a pile of receipts. The truth, according to one friend who is a fellow addict of vintage rolling steel, is that a chilly evening spent in the shed, with rain on the roof and a recalcitrant carburetor assembly spread out on the bench, is a kind of meditation. In a very Zen-like fashion, the pursuit of a perfect, showroom-crisp 1970s Ford is less a destination than a journey, and that even when (never if, for the doubters) the object of all that attention finally sits in the summer sun at a beach hop or auto show, there’s always next winter to consider. That, and the meta-perfection of the shed itself, which always seems to need new tools, new shelves, new cupboards and tin signs advertising that here, in this place, the chaos of the outside world can be made sense of, one patiently rebuilt cylinder at a time.

NorthTec goes smokefree
Seven years on the riverside
by Joanna Manson
World Smokefree Day marked the launch of Dargaville NorthTec campus going smoke free as they play their part in the government’s Smokefree Aotearoa 2025 campaign.
by Anna Harding
Every Thursday in Dargaville, from 12–4pm you’ll find the Riverside Produce Markets in the Ad Focus car park.
The Riverside Produce Markets
“I think Thursdays may be the only day that you have trouble finding a car park,” says organiser Debra van Leeuwerden. The idea for a weekly market in Dargaville originally came from Darlene Lang Gent and Chris Donahoe. Then one day Debra’s sister-inlaw, who runs a market in Tauranga, suggested that they should start one in their Ad Focus car park. Now, seven years later, the Riverside Produce Market is still going every week. “I love that these guys make it themselves and grow it themselves. I love that we are encouraging little businesses. “That’s what it’s about. It’s also a great place where people can come sit, eat and catch up with each other.” The market offers seasonal, fresh,
organic and locally grown fruit and vegetables, baked goods, smoked fish, free range eggs, cheese, honey, plants, crafts and coffee. Due to only stocking fresh, seasonal and local produce, “the market changes all the time. One week you might have 18 stores, the next week you might have seven,” said Debra. “It is only a small market but it’s really got everything we need.” “We also have provision for a community stall every week — you can come along and have a stall at no cost if you’re raising money for something.” Keen market goer and local Sabina comes every week as she loves being able to buy local and organic produce. She also raves about the Greenway stalls ‘amazing chilli jam’.
NorthTec students and staff with representatives from Toki Rau and Te Ha Oranga organisations
The launch on May 31 was attended by North Tec staff, students and health organisations Toki Rau and Te Ha Oranga. Both health organisations were on hand throughout the day offering advice and support to staff and students who may want to quit as well as offering free oral hygiene packs. Dargaville campus administrator Dene Holyoake said it was a “really good day — the theme was all about whanau.” Operations Manager for Trades and Primary Industries at NorthTec, Fred Towler said the day was well organised and that there were a “great bunch of people” at the Dargaville campus.
“I believe it’s not just the fact that smoking is unhealthy, I think it’s socially unacceptable now and every year the price gets higher the cost has to be having a detrimental impact on families. “It’s a good move for NorthTec and we need to be seen leading the government’s ambition to be smokefree by 2025.” The Dargaville campus has recently welcomed new carpentry tutor Robbie Rollo onboard. The team are looking forward to the start of Horticulture Level 3 on June 12 and Elementary Construction and Hospitality Level 2 starting on July 24.
