p Large and enthusiastic crowds gathered last Sunday week for Te Kōpuru’s community auction, raising money towards the town’s civic development projects. With a community garden to expand and many more beautification and pro-social ideas to fund, the successful auction was a big boost for the town’s development group. “We’ve got an amazing day to be out here in Te Kōpuru, and every dollar is doing good for our community,” said auctioneer Chris Fife.

Following intense scrutiny of the finances of the Kaipara District Council by staff, and discussion among councillors advocating for citizens struck by inflationary pressure, a lower rates rise has been deemed possible for next year.

Council staff had already been working to reduce the rates rise when Councillor Victoria del la Varis-Woodcock tabled a motion to keep any speculative rates rise for the coming financial year below five per cent, seconded by Councillor Karen JoycePaki. Other elected members agreed in principle to the concept, noting that efforts were already being made to trim the total. Now it seems that the efforts of those staff have come to fruition. “A detailed review was taken of all support costs proposed in year two of the LTP. The review compared the spend over the last three years with that of the

As a result, savings of $440,000 were identified that could be made that will not impact on council’s ability to deliver its services,” said Michaela Borich, strategic planning adviser, and Graeme Coleman, finance and risk manager, in their report to the KDC. Combined with payouts from investments, a significant difference could be achieved, compared to the projected 7.13% rates rise in the LTP. “In summary, by applying the savings and surplus funding from financial year

These figures, and the possible knockon effects for later years of the LTP, will be discussed with an eye on the KDC’s June meeting when the next Annual Plan will be finalised. The Annual Plan is currently in a draft format, but one of its key points is that rates rises will be lower than those projected in the LTP. ¢

Water watchdog hears council concerns u by Andy Bryenton

The newly formed agency to monitor drinking water quality across New Zealand, Taumata Arowai, has received a submission from the joint councils of Northland, raising some concerns over how it will operate. Allied to the government’s contentious Three Waters programme, the formation of Taumata Arowai goes back to the Havelock North water contamination scare of 2016. The government wants to see it fully implemented by July this year. It meant that a joint submission was quickly required. “The submission presented here is from the joint effort of p New water watchdog agency Taumata Arowai is part of the drinking water pillar of Three Waters reform, an initiative led the three Northland district by Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta councils and reflects the issues of concern for the Northland’s public tanks, pumps, filter cartridges and drinking water supplies,” said Kaipara UV imposes considerable expense.

Deal sparks contention u by Andy Bryenton

Fierce debate on the ethics of accepting or rejecting a $16 million ‘better off’ package tied to the government’s Three Waters legislation dominated last week’s Kaipara District Council briefing. While the agenda item in question called for direction on how to spend the $16 million package, opinions around the council table ran hot, with the disbursement described as a ‘bribe’ by more than one elected member. The KDC will receive the ‘better off’ monies in a series of payments beginning later this year, well before Three Waters is passed into law. p Some council members called the Three Waters’ ‘better off’ package a bribe, expressing concerns over The preferred option among clauses in the agreement seeking to muzzle criticism of councillors was to spend the the government money, should it be accepted, “Is the government paying us to shut on the building of twin libraries and community centres in Mangawhai and up?” said Councillor David Wills on Dargaville.

Pop-up museum plan

Regional council chair speaks out u by Andy Bryenton

Incumbent chair of the Northland Regional Council, Penny Smart, was the keynote speaker at Grey Power’s monthly Dargaville meeting for April, meeting the public and fielding questions on many topics.

p Te Kōpuru has another big project on the way. With the town’s 150th birthday late last year postponed by Covid-19 restrictions, plans are afoot for a pop-up museum. The town has a long history, having been established even before its bigger neighbour Dargaville. The pop-up museum event seeks to showcase paintings, photos, artefacts and antiquities along with all of their fascinating stories. Please contact the organisers if you have treasures of the past which should be on display for this event, slated for Matariki weekend to coincide with the new holiday. Call 021 133 7560 for further information.

Mayor’s Message Kia ora, Slashing next year’s rates by 2.27% looks to be on the cards for Kaipara District Council, following a Council Briefing last week where staff updated elected members on progress with the draft Annual Plan. In these inflationary times when prices of everything seem to be spiralling upwards the Council has been working to wind down the expected rates increase from the 7.13% indicated earlier in the Long Term Plan. Now we’re seeing an average General Rates increase of 4.86% for next year. Few Councils are cutting expected rates as Kaipara is seeking to do, and we’re pleased to be responding to the cost of living crisis while still keeping services maintained and rates down. Following on from recent commentary about the Government’s offer of $16.14m of community wellbeing “Better Off” funding, KDC has also recently considered how best to approach the funding package linked to the Government’s Three Waters Reforms. Our approach is to be well prepared rather than deny the opportunity outright which would be foolish. No-one would thank us for not being prepared, and doing the homework is part of being a trusted council. Knowing the Government will be proceeding with the Three Waters Reforms, and this funding is part of that, in the words of Irving Berlin’s old song “there may be troubles ahead ... but let’s face the music and dance.”

For now the important task is to prepare well with focused information for being able to make a $16.14m decision in a few months’ time. Before we could start on any such information gathering, a direction has been required of the Council. We want to focus on fewer rather than many projects. At present our direction is to work up the details towards making two new libraries, one for Dargaville and one for Mangawhai, both of which are included in the Long Term Plan and therefore already consulted upon. Fast-tracking two libraries would be greatly beneficial for the community across Kaipara, especially as libraries are no longer places of dusty old books but instead are vibrant community hubs for everyone, pointed towards a digital-savvy future. Check out the recently adopted Kaipara District Library Strategy at www. kaipara.govt.nz/news. kaipara.govt.nz/news. Aligning the needs of many Kaipara people with the funding could be both sensible and smart here.

p Northland Regional Council chair Penny Smart fielded questions on multiple topics as she addressed the Kaipara Grey Power group

regulations for private tank water supplies in rural areas. The NRC will hold elections this October, which may see the end of Councillor Smart’s tenure at the helm of the organisation. However, Grey Power members expressed their gratitude for her leadership during a challenging chapter of local history. They concluded the meeting with the presentation of a bouquet of appreciation. ¢

“I became a councillor with the intent to do everything I could for the natural environment,” said the regional council leader. She went on to outline the core areas that are governed by the NRC as opposed to municipal and district councils. Relevantly, many of these functions are about protecting the region’s ecology. Councillor Smart spent some time outlining how the NRC’s Long Term Plan, Te Pai Tawhiti, creates the structure to conserve the land, water and natural resources. Question time saw many Grey Power constituents asking about the NRC’s role in local governance, in light of the government’s proposed local democracy restructuring and the advent of infrastructure projects like Three Waters. Of particular interest were the issues of transportation to and from Whangārei as Dargaville suffers from a lack of specialist medical, veterinary and administrative services. More questions were asked about the imminent instigation of water watchdog agency Taumata Arowai, with citizens querying the potential cost and intrusiveness of water inspections and

The Department of Conservation’s annual report on how Kiwis engage with the outdoors has revealed that hikes, walks and nature rambles are top of the list. An insight into tourist behaviour, the DOC report is unique for the 2021–22 year. It spans the Delta and Omicron phases of the country’s Covid-19 response and thus includes no foreign visitors. Of special interest to Kaipara was the combination of popular trends. The biggest drawcard in the outdoors was short, scenic walks within 2.5 hours of urban centres, near coastlines and beaches. “You don’t have to undertake a multi-day tramp to enjoy this country’s remarkable landscapes and heritage. Take a stroll through history, camp by the ocean, explore an island — find your own way into nature,” said Conservation Minister Kiri Allan. She presided over the 30th-anniversary celebrations for the Great Walks programme, a scheme promoting some of the most important hiking trails in the nation. Kaipara’s day walks and tracks are famous in their own right. Treks around Kai Iwi Lakes, down the Ripirō Coast, through the Waipoua Forest and along the Mangawhai coastline are regularly featured in tourist publications. Another aspect of the DOC report showing an uptick for Kaipara is camping.

One hundred thousand Kiwis spent time under canvas during summer, with Northland topping the list of preferred destinations and biggest bookings. The DOC report will help formulate tourist strategies for Kaipara. It also highlights areas of concern, especially a lax attitude to dog safety, littering and damage to ecosystems by off-road vehicles. ¢

p Internationally and across New Zealand, local newspapers have come out well ahead of globalised and social media platforms in terms of reader trust

One major daily newspaper in New Zealand has recently recorded its highest subscriber numbers in the past 19 years, a good indicator for the print media industry. It’s harder to get a handle on the readership of local newspapers that distribute free of charge, but statistics out of England last month point to an uptick in trust for locally produced news, by locals for locals. The Opinium survey revealed that the highest amount of trust was placed in ‘a news organisation covering my local area that is based in my local area’, beating the option of a globalised news source covering local issues by a healthy 25%. US audiences, too, report that hyperlocal news and news serving a specific

community or sector is on the rise. A recent Neilsen report of people age 15 years and older found that two out of three Kiwis read a newspaper at least once a week. Moreover, confidence in the truthfulness of news in print is higher than the international average, despite the destabilising effect of the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated infodemic. Print is also up in the ratings against what was once seen as its nemesis, social media. New Zealanders’ trust in social media as a news source, in both print and video formats, reached an all-time low last year, tanking at 14%. It means that a large majority or 86% of people, do not trust social media to report the truth. ¢

Bike trails get community support

Passing on valuable skills

u by Andy Bryenton

Kaipara Cycling is pleased to report that the construction of the district’s latest mountain bike attraction, the extensive complex situated on Babylon Coast Road, is progressing well.

Ocean Wickliffe is one of a team of 350 who make up the dedicated workforce at Dargaville’s Silver Fern Farms, where he trains others in the precision art of butchery.

“There’s been a huge level of public enthusiasm and support, including the generosity of several individuals, families and businesses who have bought making rights to entire trails,” said Time To bike store owners and project supporters Des and Sadie Cogan. “We have seen this major cycling venue get off to a great start, but that level of public enthusiasm will need to stay high, as we are in for the long haul to create something both large and lasting.” Teams of volunteers have headed into the forest to prune branches, ahead of an excavator following along to form the banked corners and twisting turns of the trails. It’s likely that a short loop will be open as a taste of things to come before the start of winter, should the weather cooperate. A new amenities block has been emplaced thanks to the generosity of the local Lions Club, too. Coming up next to raise funds for the project, Kaipara Cycling has arranged a quiz night on May 14, starting from 7pm at the Northern Wairoa Boating Club. Organisers say that it’s a fun way to boost the coffers of the mountain bike park’s construction budget and a chance

winter WELLNESS Peeling the layers in winter u by Amy Fifita

Nature provides the world with many needs; although society has developed past foraging, there are still ways to take advantage of natural remedies. Food determines a lot in our lives. For some, it is about sharing a meal with the family, while for others, it is the benefits eating certain produce brings. We walk through the supermarket with labels and packages informing us that this is a superfood hoping to entice us to buy it. We know, in most cases, the good food choices from the ones less merciful to our health. Have you heard about the benefits of the humble onion? Your grandparents may have told you about onion syrup as a cough and cold remedy. There are various recipes for this old, unique method, normally consisting of cut onion and honey or molasses. They transcend throughout the ages as an ingredient and remedy. The history of onions for medicinal purposes can be traced back to ancient civilization. Roman author Pliny the Elder has this pungent lily as a cure for 28 illnesses from toothache to an upset stomach. Egyptians also implemented them as part of the mummification method.

In ancient times, the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans would use these bulbous vegetables for medicinal purposes that they thought enhanced vitality. Honey is known to have antibacterial features and can be used to treat wounds; it is also used for stomach, heart and blood health. It was used in Māori, Chinese, Greek, Islamic and Native American medicines. The Egyptians took advantage of this to embalm corpses and would place jars of honey inside tombs. Greek scientist Hippocrates would use honey and vinegar for pain relief. Molasses is a source of iron and a holistic remedy for constipation, stabilising blood sugar, and promoting hair growth. It was typically used as a cheaper way to sweeten food and drinks; however, it is more expensive currently. To boost your system, attempt adding items to your diet. Foods such as kale, honey, turmeric, beetroot, garlic, spinach and much more are known to positively

affect health. These ingredients can often be used together for a nutritious and tasty recipe. Onion syrup recipe 1 onion 1 cup of honey or molasses (brown sugar can be used if giving to children under one year old) 1 jar or small container Slice up the onion into even circles of about one centimetre in width. Put one slice at the base of the jar. Pour honey or molasses over the slice. Repeat this process until all slices are in the jar or container and covered. ¢

Investing in future trades u by Andy Bryenton

Finding a plumber in the future will be easier thanks to an initiative taken by local firm Grant’s Gas and Plumbing, which has taken on a new apprentice to safeguard against future skills shortages.

p Young plumbing apprentice Pharrell Chan Sau (centre) has teamed up with Grant’s Gas and Plumbing to learn the fundamentals of the trade from Grant Low (left) and Geoff Dodd (right)

Supply chain issues and a current lack of qualified professionals within many trades have led to long wait times for those building and renovating post-Covid. The clear road ahead lies with investing in youth who wish to turn their hand to construction and maintenance skills. “We’re proud to offer our plumbing expertise to the Dargaville High School building academy, and our new team member came up through that programme,” says business owner Roseanne Low. “It’s important to the town and the area that we have plumbers ready to keep up with future building needs, and this is a practical way we can pass on our skills.”

Young plumber Pharrell Chan Sau will undertake a multi-year apprenticeship course covering practical and theoretical work, spanning drainlaying, roofing, plumbing, fireplace maintenance and installation and even gasfitting. With these skills, he’ll be well placed to forge a career in the trades. With more qualified plumbers based locally, there will be less need to rely on out of town contractors to respond to Dargaville’s calls. Pharrell is out there learning with experienced plumbers Grant Low and Geoff Dodd on a daily basis, building on the skills learned at the DHS building academy and looking forward to a promising career. ¢

Real estate is all about connections u by Nicky Reid

I believe the best connections are those made when people listen to their hearts and follow their wairua and dreams. I think it’s essential for a real estate agent not to be pushy and allow and create a space for those most magical connections to happen. Those goosebump moments are the best thing about my job. I’ve been selling real estate for 10 years after working as a rural veterinarian for 21 years. For the initial five years, I only sold farms. I did this for Bayleys and earnt an array of real estate awards, later going on to work for Farmland Real Estate. I gained my Diploma in Real Estate and started my own agency — Connections Real Estate.

Laser sharp focus u by Andy Bryenton

Karl Driver has built a career from the grassroots up, quite literally, taking care of the underground world that most of us walk all over daily.

p Driver Laser Drainage get to work bringing aeration and better soil health to a local pasture

Healthy soil has good drainage, allowing oxygen to permeate down to the roots of pasture and plants and the beneficial fungi, bacteria and other living things, which form a tight-knit little ecosystem underfoot. When these fundamentals are taken care of, better productivity can be achieved. To reach that goal, Karl has assembled a team of locals who share his expertise. “Creating the perfect soil conditions for optimal pasture growth starts with ensuring your soil is well-drained,” says Karl. “Water-logged soil reduces the available oxygen needed for healthy root growth. It can be a key cause of pasture retardation and an overall lack of pasture quality. Orchards and

shelterbelts benefit greatly from better drainage too.” The ‘laser’ part of Karl’s company name refers to the precision-guided nature of the equipment he deploys in the field. The big chain trenchers, the 11-tonne excavator and a fleet of trucks cut big jobs down to size. However, it’s the people who have built a good reputation for Driver Laser Drainage across the mid-north. Karl has gathered around him a highly experienced team who know drainage, and take pride in keeping up to date with the latest technology in the industry. It also makes them versatile. As well as creating healthier pastures and orchards, Karl and the team can also take care of contract work, from driveway maintenance to house excavation, trenching, haulage and more. ¢

Pest weed appears at Poutō u by Paul Campbell

Poutō’s iconic dune lakes are in the spotlight with the discovery and spread of the aquatic weed hornwort and visitors, including duck shooters and eel fishers, are being asked to do their bit to stop the spread. The Northland Regional Council is working on a programme to eradicate hornwort from Lake Tutaki on conservation land and Lake Karaka and Lake Egg, both on private land — before it spreads to the other lakes. Hornwor t ( Ceratophyllum demersum) was thought to have been eradicated from Poutō lakes but was discovered in the last two years. Biosecurity and Biodiversity Working Party Cr Jack Craw says the lakes where the weed is found are used by duck shooters and possibly eel fishers.

Safer speed limits coming New speed limits are being set in Mangawhai and Kaiwaka following a review undertaken by the Kaipara District Council and the Northern Transport Alliance to follow the government’s Road to Zero national strategy. The area covered includes Hakaru and Kaiwaka West, including Oneriri Road and Oruawharo Road areas. The changes come into effect on Monday, June 13, once new signage has been installed by staff from NTA and their contractor, Ventia. “The government’s strategy aims to set safe and appropriate speeds on our roads with the aim of reducing serious harm and fatal crashes,” says NTA Speed Limits manager Shawn Baker. “We are focussing on the areas where lower speed limits will have the greatest impact.”

The recommendations on new speed limits were informed by 84 submissions from the community, and technical assessments required under the Setting of Speed Limits Rule 2017. The changes were confirmed by the Mangawhai and Kaiwaka Speed Limit Review Hearing Committee on July 15 2021. Information and community dropin sessions, attended by key staff, were held in Mangawhai, Kaiwaka and Hakaru. You can see more at kaipara. govt.nz/speedreview.

On-street parking is set to become a thing of the past in Auckland, and many opine that where the supercity goes, so too will Whāngarei in the future and all of Northland thereafter. “We do have a predetermined agenda.

“We are not going to back down simply because somebody is not going to like it.” ‘Like it’ — they do not. The main opponents are shop, cafe and restaurant owners, who say that taking away parking will stop them from attracting customers. A quick look at how big-box retail centres have overtaken main street shopping, everywhere that parking charges and wardens reign, shows their fears might be justified. Additionally, where will people from Kaipara park, when forced to visit municipal centres by the pull-out of medical and government services? Luckily, Japan has beaten us to it. In that nation, it’s illegal to buy a car you can’t park, and a garage costs almost as much as an apartment in Tokyo. Hence, an answer to both the problem of parking space and the issue of electric cars being unaffordable for most average Kiwis — the Kei car. With massive tax incentives and the ability to park in a tiny footprint, these minuscule runabouts are everywhere in big Japanese cities. With a maximum engine size of 660cc, they sip fuel and rev up to 10,000 rpm like motorcycles

p Mazda’s AZ-1 has gull-wing doors, a mid-engine layout and is only half the size of the Ferrari it looks like; could this be the solution to parking problems and fuel prices?

and usually fit just two diminutive adults plus groceries. There have been sporty models, like the Honda Beat and the Autozam AZ-1, and boxy vans like the Nissan Carol and Toyota Pixis. All must fit into a space of 3.4 metres, close to two metres shorter than a Ford Falcon. They’d be easy to park, cheap to run and some come with bizarre names

like the Daihatsu Naked, the Mitsubishi Lettuce and the Toppo Guppy. There’s only one problem with importing small, cheap-to-run, easy-to-park little Kei cars for New Zealand. On many of our highways, you’d be able to lose an entire tiny vehicle in our super-sized potholes. Oh, and if you’re above six feet tall, you might need to option a convertible. ¢

Honda’s latest electric hybrid vehicle comes with some new energy-saving tricks up its sleeve and a new tongue-twisting acronym to remember; e:HEV. It might just be worth remembering this collection of letters, as the designation stands for a fresh look at the hybrid concept, as tried, tested and proven by Hondas that have gone before and as the ubiquitous Toyota Prius. Honda’s Jazz e:HEV luxe performs a similar juggling act to their CR-Z, perhaps the most fun to drive hybrid of the first generation. With a 1.5-litre petrol engine and a brace of electric motors; it can deliver a massive range without fear of battery drain, and the kick of instant torque. However, it goes about making that power and laying it down in a very different fashion to the CR-Z or the Insight, Honda’s other early hybrid effort. In the new Jazz, the petrol engine is most often employed to charge the batteries, with smooth electric power delivery predominating. It extends the range vastly over battery-only machines. Moreover, because the petrol motor is only driving a generator and not trying to accelerate an entire car along the tarmac — it’s superbly efficient. The upshot is that the Jazz e:HEV uses petrol, but only in the same way as a hummingbird sips nectar. Figures of 2.4 litres for every 100 kilometres are talked about in the promotional materials, as the

p Honda’s latest Jazz combines hybrid efficiency with a new way of handling electrical power and petrol economy

little Jazz also applies everything Honda has learned about regenerative braking and kinetic energy recovery. At current prices, this could take you from Northland to Auckland for approximately $8, and that’s a bargain worth considering. Another bargain is the price in comparison to battery-only vehicles. The government will pay you just over $4,000 for choosing the Jazz e:HEV, and it’s only $35,000 brand new to begin with. That puts it on the radar of real Kiwis, who don’t have the budget of a Formula

One team or a portfolio of mansions. Everything else Honda could think of is included, and that, from a firm that makes jet planes and robots, is a lot of safety features, connectivity and toys. It even looks quite endearing, with an interesting two-tone interior. Although it’s a city hatchback and not a slick coupe, you can at least say it’s a hybrid from the stable of the NSX. If you’re in the market for a family car and really, honestly don’t need an SUV, then this could be the new front runner. ¢
