Sustaining creative designs

“A year ago, we decided we were ready for a change and moved here with some of our family and grandchildren,” Michelle says.

“Nick and I met in Pōneke, Wellington and began working together too. We had a shop to sell our artistic creations and continued to work together as Whirlwind Designs.

“We have a passion to work sustainably and respect the natural world by often working with materials that have had a previous life. We also value making things that are well-made and designed to have a long life.

“Nick grew up in Christchurch, and I lived in different parts of the country. He has worked as an actor and director in both film and theatre, and I have worked in a variety of mediums while raising a family.

“Since we arrived here, we have converted a garage into our home, built off-the-grid cabins and worked on creating a garden. It has been a lot of fun and hard work putting our design skills

“We work in different ways, sometimes as designers and sometimes as creators and have an exhibition coming up at the Mangawhai Artists Gallery called Out of the Woods. The plan is to make wall pieces that explore conceptual ideas and explore some of those ideas in more depth.

“We will have some of our larger pieces on display, including lighting, furniture, wall pieces and wind sculptures.”

Nick has been making a range of wind sculptures for almost 30 years.

“People regularly bring us their well-loved ones in for a touch-up with paint. People often don’t want a new item because the one they have grown up with holds their childhood memories.”

Michelle and Nick also have a regular stall at the Mangawhai Tavern Markets, where they sell jewellery and smaller decorative pieces. The couple is often commissioned to make personal works of art.

“A real highlight for us is hearing people’s stories and the happiness that the things we make can give them. This year we are returning to Japan to gain fresh inspiration from its rich culture. There is an aesthetic in Japan that expresses the idea of wabi-sabi, which notes the passage of time and values it. The perfection of imperfection appeals to us, and we use that in our work.

“In the future, we will be developing new ideas, designs and artworks as we are always planning the next exciting products that we can offer people. We have always loved living a creative life. We love making and designing different things using our complementary skills, ideas and interests.” ¢

A second-choice

u by Paul Campbell

The origins of Wellsford are perhaps a case of ‘the best-laid plans’ turning awry, as the town was an afterthought for the original settlers of the area who landed at nearby Port Albert.

Like much of the Kaipara, the Albertland settlers were granted land after sailing from Europe in the mid-19th century. Arriving first at an inlet of the Kaipara Harbour, their leaders laid out a city grid they hoped would rival Auckland at a time when sea transport was the highway of transport and commerce.

However, the government of the day sought a road and railway north from Auckland, and it was soon evident that Port Albert would be bypassed by a more inland route. Among the pioneer settlers who decided to move to where transport was opening up were the families of Watson, Edger, Lester, Levet,

Simpson, Foster, Oldfield, Ramsbottom and Dibble — with a popular history that the first letter of each name spells Wellsford.

For a large part, the local Māori were helpful to early Wellsford settlement as they were not hostile to settlers and saw Pākehā neighbours as a protective and settling influence.

At the Albertland Heritage Museum in Wellsford, treasurer Rob Lennon explains to visitors how Wellsford superseded Port Albert. In ensuing years, more migrants fanned out to claim land in and around the emerging settlements of Maungatūroto, Whakapirau, Pahi,

Mangawhai Books & Gifts

Paparoa, Matakohe, and on to Ruawai and Dargaville and moved on to new pastures across New Zealand. Port Albert still stands as a sleepy backwater off State Highway 16 . Industry in early Wellsford was driven by the timber trade. In late 1863 Nicholson’s timber mill was opened, and in the absence of road and rail, cut timber and logs were sent down the Whakapirau Stream to be milled. Kauri gum, valued then for the manufacture of linoleum and varnish, was also an important local resource and gumdiggers’ camps were scattered

across the district. In fact, the present site of Wellsford was known at that time as ‘the gum ridge’.

However, as the town grew, settlers turned to farming on their cleared land as the primary source of income, and the Wayby Co-operative Dairy Company provided the area with a factory. The arrival of the North Auckland Railway to Wellsford in 1909 cemented viable industry in the town, and as settlers continued to move further inland, Wellsford found its place as a thriving service town and busy retail outlet on the main route into Northland.

Giving back to Kaipara Harbour

u by Ann van Engelen

Local farmer Ian Cawkwell is bringing native plantings back to the Kaipara area and caring for the environment by purchasing ex-forestry land post-harvest and putting it back into pasture.

“It is a far cry from my career constructing gold mines around the world,” says Ian.

“I am fencing off waterways, gullies and bush blocks to look after the land and play my part in looking after the Kaipara Moana. It is the very essence of the Kaipara Moana Remediation Programme kaupapa, which is why I have teamed up with them to replant parts of my 79ha beef unit with natives.”

The Kaipara Moana Remediation Programme is one of New Zealand’s largest catchment restoration programmes to reduce sediment flowing into the Kaipara Harbour. Ian is intent on capitalising on the opportunity to utilise KMR funding to improve the land.

“I don’t plan to return overseas for work until I have fully fenced my property in mid to late 2023. We have already made huge progress. I think environmentalism is in my blood thanks to my mum Stella Clyde who is wellknown for her work in that realm.

“I grew up in the area, and my property was part of my stomping ground as a youngster. What KMR is providing for landowners like myself is great, and I would encourage other farmers in the Kaipara catchment to get on board and take advantage of the opportunity.

“I floundered and mulleted in the Kaipara. I love it here and stomped around as a child and remember the

creeks full of crayfish and eels. I have fenced the length of my creek and am well underway with a planting programme on both sides of the waterway.

“The natives are growing really well. As you wander around the property, there are numerous pockets I plan to fence off to allow natives to come away. I am not relying solely on KMR for funding and have invested heavily in fencing gear and kit.”

Ian is doing all the fencing himself and has fenced half of his property heading into 2023.

“I have about three kilometres of six-wire fencing to complete, with two electrified, and can’t wait to see my protected natives flourishing

throughout the land. I plan to continue doing my bit to improve my land to help the environment.

“I encourage other farmers to lock their creeks and waterways up by fencing and planting, too, as it is land that is not going to be used for grazing anyway.

“This is a chance to partner up and clean up the environment and split the costs. With KMR contributing financially, it is a winner. I would be doing this anyway, but this gives me even more motivation and allows me to do it quicker.

“What I am doing with them gives me enjoyment and takes me back to my childhood on the farm when we would plant blocks of natives.” ¢

Saving the soil

u by Liz Clark

With the rise of inclement weather, for anyone living near sloping areas or drains, excessive rainfall causing slips and sediment filling waterways can be a serious problem.

If you have drains or sloping gullies prone to slipping the retention of vegetation, a planted wetland area can save soil loss and reduce erosion significantly. With many lifestyle subdivisions using marginal land for smaller farmlets, steep gullies and slopes can come with the territory. Intensive planting of natives on the sloping areas can help bind the soil together and stop valuable nutrients from leaching into the waterway.

Using natives sourced from the local area rather than a nursery out of the area means any plants chosen have a higher chance of being acclimated to the environmental conditions and soil

type. Every region is different, made up of various soil types, which need to be taken into consideration when in the planning stages. Ideally, a consultant specialising in riparian and wetland planting would provide a sound basis for planning the right type of plantings to suit the site.

However, not everyone has the financial means to engage a landscape consultant. Alternatively, local regional councils can provide guides, plant lists and planting plans freely available online. Local land care groups too can also provide help and advice on the best approach to take when dealing with difficult areas.

Preparing areas for planting can be done in stages if finances are a concern. Rather than clear the entire area of vegetation leading to the risk of losing the soil down the banks from heavy rainfall, mark out a smaller area and then prepare the area for planting. Either spray the area with great care or use cardboard and newspaper, topped by mulch, to smother the weeds.

Your plants should have good root formation and strong growth — weak plants will not survive in harsh conditions. Dig square holes rather than round ones, and provide a slow-release fertiliser tablet for

each. Extra care, such as watering and weeding, should be undertaken in the first year to help young plants get established.

In wetland areas, use species that do well in moist to wet conditions, such as flax, raupō, sedges and other New Zealand wetland plant species. Sediment caused by water run-off from heavy rain will then be caught and help prevent the siltation of any stream used for taking stormwater away.

A haven for relaxation

u by Ann van Engelen

Nadine Marsh opened Driftwood Massage and Wellness NZ at One Tree Point to give people a safe place to be pampered.

“My husband Ben and I both grew up in the Bay of Islands,” says Nadine.

“Ben and I lived in Auckland until he got a job here eight years ago. We were looking for places to live, and we didn’t even know that One Tree Point existed until I came for a drive. I fell in love with the area, bought a house, and we still love it here.

“Over the years, I have worked in travel and tourism, real estate and farming, but I never really found my niche. When I was younger, I always had a desire to be a massage therapist, but didn’t want to go back to study.

“I was ready to take time for myself after we had our three children, but

I wanted a career that was stressfree. Last year I decided to follow my dream and enrolled in Evolution School of Beauty, Massage and Nails in Whangārei. I am now fully qualified in relaxation massage therapy.”

Nadine constantly upskills herself by attending various workshops and courses to create more experiences for her clients.

“When you get a massage, you should feel like the weight of the world has lifted off your shoulders. If people have an injury they are working through, my massages have a light to medium pressure and can relax some of the tension and stress away.

“For me, my studio is a quiet, safe space where people can leave their stress behind. Some people discover they release emotional stress, which they never realised they were carrying. It is beautiful that they leave feeling better.

“I love the fact that when people come to my studio, they leave very happy and relaxed. It is a very rewarding job that doesn’t impact on our family life with stress. It is a healthy workplace, and I have a positive work-life balance.

“People can book online at driftwoodwellness.co.nz and also view information on the variety of treatments I have available. Massages make great

gifts too, and I also have my certificate in reflexology.”

Nadine is in the process of setting up a membership programme so people can prepay sessions for their selfcare journey.

“Every little step to feeling better about yourself is an important step, whether it be weekly or monthly commitments to yourself. I love transporting people to their little happy place to relax with soft music and candles and seeing them take a deep breath and ease into their relaxation time.

“Massage is one of the best ways to combat stress, and I am so pleased to be in my dream job.” ¢

Architecture builds civilisations

u by Andy Bryenton

Architecture is often seen as a specialist skill which only impacts our lives when we’re looking to build or renovate, but in actuality, by framing the spaces where we go about our lives and careers, architects have a subtle influence on our moods and views every day.

This fact was not lost on ancient cultures that often equated architecture, with its necessary knowledge of mathematics, geometry and physics, with the mystic arts and religion. Some of the earliest recorded architects were indeed considered holy men, and many were kings as well.

Famously, Kings Solomon and Hiram created Solomon’s Temple, a building steeped in symbolic meaning and the principles of science. Meanwhile, one of the earliest recorded architects, the Egyptian ‘great overseer of monuments’, Aa, set the conventions for that culture’s holy temples some 2,000 years ago BCE. He was also a scribe and a priest.

The term ‘architecture’ comes from the great Roman designer Vitruvius, who wrote a multi-scroll masterpiece called De Architectura for Caesar Augustus. He redefined design and brought it into the level of people’s homes and civic spaces

by insisting that every structure in Rome should have strength, utility and beauty. Like the stonemason architects of the Middle Ages, he cut his teeth destroying buildings rather than designing them as one of Julius Caesar’s siege catapult engineers.

The tradition of the architect as a ‘polymath’ or a person of many talents was kept up by Leonardo Da Vinci, perhaps the most famous artist in history. Among his other works, the great renaissance thinker was a designer of buildings, and in emulation of his feats, many of the great thinkers of the enlightenment also dabbled in design. Isaac Newton and his contemporaries were in demand as designers of homes for the wealthy, and fellow Royal Society member Christopher Wren is best remembered for his design work in rebuilding London. ¢

The world of driving

u by Ann van Engelen

Claire

Longman

takes delight in teaching people of all ages how to drive and gain confidence on the road.

“My husband Peter and I moved to New Zealand from the UK in 2010,” says Claire.

“We fell in love with the Waipū area on our very first visit when we were travelling. I thought how wonderful it would be to live in this area.”

“I trained to be a driving instructor in the UK, and then we had our last child, so I focussed on our family. I then worked in healthcare for a long time and continued with that career here in New Zealand until I realised I wasn’t doing what I wanted to do.

“I knew I really enjoyed teaching road skills and could see a need for it, and completed the NZTA Driving Instructor course in 2015. I then began ABC Driving School because I wanted to work for myself and my reputation as a tutor grew.

“We purchased a piece of land here just before lockdown and built our house off-site. We moved to our lovely country retreat last Labour Weekend and love it. After hours I work at the local vet centre at reception, I enjoy gardening, spending time with our family, going to the beach and body boarding.

“Being a driving instructor, I enjoy seeing people build their confidence on

experience the opportunity to upskill. This is very good for businesses to put their drivers through.

the roads. You see a quick progression of skills, confidence, road knowledge and education when you are learning one-to-one.

“I am currently completing a Street Talk defensive driving course with the New Zealand Institute of Driver Educators so I can bring the course to Northland. No matter how long they have been driving, and what licence they have, it will give people of all driving

“It helps people who have been disqualified or had their licence revoked for dangerous driving. It is a self-analysing course and brings awareness to your own driving habits. It also helps with insurance. I have a dualcontrol automatic car, which I prefer my students to do their first lesson in so I can get a feel for how they drive. Some people have a grand idea of their skills, and others have less confidence.”

The dual control means Claire can take control if need be with a brake and accelerator on her side of the vehicle.

“Knowing your instructor can take control if need be builds confidence too. Students vary in the number of lessons they need, depending on the

“During the lessons, I am very calm and ensure there is no panic in the car at any point”

p Claire and her family moved to New Zealand from the UK in 2010

skills they build and the amount of practice they have between our lessons. Generally, 10–15 lessons are sufficient and regular practice means they gain confidence quicker.

“The New Zealand Transport Agency recommends 120 hours of actual driving before trying for your licence, but driving instructors normally know how much confidence a new driver has gained.

“I recommend private lessons because a parent teaching their own child, family member or friend can be difficult. The younger learners often listen to an instructor more than someone they know. I can sympathise with other parents as I have been there myself trying to teach my own son. He is 21 now, and I taught all of his friends.

“During the lessons, I am very calm and ensure there is no panic in the car at any point. I have been teaching for so long I can predict what students are going to do before they do it, and I often talk them through a situation before it happens.

“There is nothing better than seeing someone gain their licence, especially if they started out nervously, and I have had them from very green and new to driving. I hope that what I do helps get better drivers on our roads.

“The opportunity that a driving licence gives people can be very significant in so many aspects of life. If they don’t get through the first time, they often work harder, and we get there.

“A lot of my trainee drivers stay in touch with me and call when they are ready to apply for their full licence. Often I end up teaching generations of the same family, and I have taught a mother, her son and her daughter in the past.

“In Auckland, there was a course for people who were driving with no licence. It was amazing to see them pass their tests. They often didn’t think they would pass as there was a lack of education available, and they found it expensive.

“We taught them that having a licence is a priority and the consequences for not having one outweigh the costs, time

and effort they put in to get one. I would love to get into more community-based education here. My son is attending Bream Bay College, and I am researching becoming a local educator there.

“There are a lot of consequences of not having a licence while out on the road. You need driving knowledge and skill to keep your babies safe if you are a parent or driving others in your car. They are precious cargo.

“To get your learner’s licence is relatively easy. You can download the test on to your phone and practise until you are confident you will pass the test. To get on the road, you can make a plan with a driving instructor that works for you. It’s not inaccessible, and there are grants and things through iwi and other places.

“Having your licence helps with insurance, which is important because if you crash into someone, it covers your car and theirs. You don’t want to be responsible for having to pay for a brandnew Mercedes that you hit and have

the bill sitting over your head for years to come. These things don’t go away. If someone hits you, your insurance company can deal with the other person.

“Being able to tell people you have your licence is a proud moment, and I have seen many people’s self-esteem boost from succeeding. I would never suggest someone goes for their test if I didn’t think they were able to pass.

“We don’t want people to fail on a regular basis, and we know what testing officers look for. They want people to be road ready and be able to make life-anddeath decisions. Every decision we make on the road is important, and education is a very significant part of that.

“You need to have your wits about you because a vehicle is a loaded weapon each time we go out. Professional driving educators are invaluable as there are so many distractions nowadays.

“I love being a part of helping other people, meeting their families and having a positive impact on the people I help.”

Deluge sparks community response

u by Ann van Engelen

When the recent storms hit the area, and people found themselves stranded in and around Wellsford, local Shar Minhinnick answered a call for help and opened the local community hall.

“I was at home doing nothing and saw people on the local Facebook page suggesting the hall be opened for stranded people,” says Shar.

“I run the night markets and rang the centre manager, and she immediately gave permission to go ahead. We put a cry out for blankets, pillows and mattresses, and I got tea and coffee from the Mobil gas station, and my friend Jolene helped me.

“People dropped off food, and the local marae lent us 30 mattresses. Within half an hour, we had 10 locals helping out, including two teachers and off-duty police officers. We posted on the local Facebook pages for stranded people to come to us for safety. People also walked the streets knocking on car windows to let people know.”

On the first night, the last family to arrive was a couple with a baby at 4.30am.

“Our town is the cut-off point when the three main roads are blocked. A lot of people were trying to get home before

the weather got bad, not realising how severe it was. I have never done anything like this before and had no idea what I was doing except getting stranded people a bed and a safe place.

“The people were so grateful. Everyone was amazed how we pulled together. Scott and Rachael Henderson, from Mangawhai New World, donated and delivered us lots of supplies, including diapers, baby formula, bottled water and food. We were trying to organise breakfast, and a girl from Mangawhai

went to their store to buy us supplies, and the Hendersons jumped on board.

“There was no Civil Defence plan, and we couldn’t get hold of anyone. On the Sunday night, the Christchurch Red Cross team came up from helping in Auckland and were very impressed with how we did things under the circumstances.

“Some people were embarrassed and in shock from their experience and were horrified they had put their families in that position but were extremely grateful that everything turned out alright.

“If there is another storm, please don’t drive until you know it is safe. The roads here came up in minutes because we had had so much the weeks prior.

“The first night Jolene and I never slept. We counted roughly 250 people in the community centre, in the car park and down the street. We felt so much compassion for them, especially people

travelling by themselves. One girl had bad anxiety, and we got her to have a sleep before she decided her next move.

“It was great to see everyone safely go on their way after a big cooked breakfast. If it happens again we know the drill, and have put our names forward for Civil Defence training. We are grateful to everyone who helped.”
