The members of Waipū Cove Surf Lifesaving Club took out three awards at the Toyota Financial Services Northern Region Surf Life Saving Awards of Excellence last weekend. “There were 18 clubs in the northern region attending, and it was really tough competition,” says club captain Kath Manning. Jane Curran won Instructor of the Year, Lucy Manning received the Rookie of the Year, and the Call Out Squad took out the Innovation of the Year award. “The competition was really tough with nominations from clubs from as far south as Raglan, all of Auckland and as far north as Ahipara. “Our club has had a great year. Back in May, we were awarded Emergency Call Out Squad of the Year for our efforts and service improvements with the innovation we have established. “We developed a local watch group. People who have a good vantage point of the coast act as spotters. “Residents from Langs Beach to the Waipū River Mouth have been inducted into our system. It is quite simple and is effective. “The spotters can call 111 and activate our squad if they see someone in trouble. “They also keep their eyes on the patient when we have a call-out and help us locate people when we are on a search. “Many of us work, and the Waipū camp staff open up the club and get our gear ready, which saves a good 10 minutes off our rescue time. We have completed some really successful rescues “Our team has done rock rescue, first aid, body recovery, coordinated incident management systems courses, and we assist other emergency services. Our

It is really great to have our dedicated team acknowledged.

Repurposing the cowshed u by Ann van Engelen
Wendy and Robert Klink have lived in Mangawhai for 32 years and have successfully taken up business opportunities that have come their way. “When we first moved here, Robert was working for Nokia and travelled the world, so we homeschooled our son Dan and daughter Amy-Jane to travel too,” says Wendy. “We eventually settled here, and Dan did an apprenticeship at the Mangawhai meat shop. It came up for sale, and we were looking for a new adventure, so Robert and I bought the shop. “We worked with Dan until he went to England for a time. We ran it for seven years while Dan ended up in Melbourne, Australia and then returned with his partner Ange. “They came home and got married, and we sold them the butcher shop. We then set up an organic garden at another property that we had previously brought on the road we live on. “It was the farm from when the road was a valley, and had the old cowshed on it. We grew organic vegetables and
“
had a few cows until we decided to have a new start.” Robert and Wendy enjoy entertaining people and came up with a restaurant idea. “We enjoyed trying different eating places and decided to turn the little cowshed into a restaurant. We had already created a registered kitchen as we make pies, s a u s age ro l l s , fudge, quiche and other items for the local markets. “We got it up to scratch and started The Cow Shed restaurant in 2012 as a summer experience. Amy-Jane’s husband Sam is a chef, and they came home every summer and ran a pop-up cafe out of the restaurant. We worked days, and they worked nights. “They are returning home in September, and we will continue on together. We still enjoy being at the Mangawhai Community Markets at

the Mangawhai Beach School and seeing the regular customers and the other stallholders. “It has become a market family and is a really caring environment, and it is a good way to meet people that you wouldn’t otherwise meet. The markets keep our community strong by people shopping locally, and all the stallholders appreciate that support. “The restaurant opens again on Labour Weekend. The milking shed pit has been covered over, and the floor goes all the way through, and we have outside
seating, too. Dining is by reservation only, and we are as sustainable as possible. We have a three-course set menu, and our diners message which meals they want before arrival. No food is cooked that won’t be eaten. “Having businesses in the area has been great for us. “Dan has done really well with butchery competitions, and it is good to see him get ahead.

The satellite Rotary Club in Mangawhai was established from a need to have a club venue closer to where some members of the Maungaturoto club lived. “It came from a want to belong to a non-traditional Rotary type club but still be involved with the Rotary vision to serve the community,” says chairman Dennis Emsley. “Grahame Carbery, a Rotarian and local resident, had organised meetings at the Mangawhai Boating and Fishing Club to discuss the possibility of a Learn To Sail project he had been working on aimed at teaching young children how to sail. “The initial response was overwhelming to a point where Grahame was swamped with enquiries, and at that point, I offered to help him. “At the same time, we were discussing with other local Rotarians how we could break away from our traditionally structured club. At the time, Maungaturoto was the nearest Rotary Club, and we began setting up a more non-traditional satellite club in Mangawhai. “We had concerns that the general public’s perception of Rotary and Rotary Clubs throughout New Zealand was one of those old-fashioned organisations and clubs for oldfashioned people. “Membership of these clubs was diminishing, and their very existence like other service organisations

nationally and internationally was being threatened. Grahame and I want to keep Rotary afloat not only to launch our new sailing programme, but also because we believe in the concept that has been around for 100 years. “We wanted to launch a new club with a newer approach to that 100-yearold tradition. We want to attract new blood and need to do this in order to gain agreement from our ‘mothership’ at Maungaturoto to establish what is known within Rotary as a satellite club. “Within a few weeks, we attracted 15 members, which were officially established on June 29. At our inaugural meeting, I had the pleasure

within the Rotary satellite club of Mangawhai aimed at helping our local community. The club structure is all

We want it to be a sort of service social club where members can socialise and also assist the local and wider community with service projects. “We welcome new members, both young and old, male or female and input and assistance from the non-Rotarian general public. “We thank our members, including Maungaturoto, and all the members of the public who have supported us to date. “We look forward to a very bright and growing future for Rotary in what is one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing communities and one which is part of a sailing nation.” ¢

Welcome to the jungle u by Liz Clark
For anyone who loves tropical plants, the deep colours and intriguing shapes of bromeliads can be addictive. More than 3,590 species of these plants, ranging from Central and South America to Africa, have been identified. They can be found growing in trees, rocks, cliff faces in tropical and subtropical climates. Bromeliads were used for thousands of years by the Aztec, Incan and Mayan cultures for fibre, food and many other uses, a practice still followed by their descendants. Since 1776, when the first bromeliad species was introduced as an ornamental plant, they have been collected and propagated by gardeners worldwide. The Northland region is fortunate to have a subtropical climate, so having a garden full of colourful bromeliads isn’t out of the question. Unlike many fussier plants, bromeliads require minimal care, water or nutrients to thrive. They are also frost and cold tolerant and produce spectacular flowers at any time of the year. The colour range is vast, and the plants’ roots need very little soil. In the case of the tillandsia or air plant, a dab from a hot glue gun can fix a plant to a piece of driftwood or branch. Other species can be popped into small pots with some compost and brought indoors to brighten up the decor. Most bromeliads are epiphytes. Epiphytes are plants that grow on other
plants, such as trees, using them for support in a non-parasitic way. Nutrients are gained from the collection of rainwater and from the decomposition of the lower leaves. Outside, in the garden, bromeliads can be planted into old stockings with a small amount of compost or pine bark mulch and nailed to a tree. Alternatively, they can be planted in the garden in a raised bed with good drainage to provide a mass display of colour year-round. While many species are available, the most popular is the smooth-leafed, rosette cultivars with a central reservoir for water collection. More commonly known as tank bromeliads, these are an attractive alternative to hostas in shaded areas, as an example. They are also great house plants bringing colour during the winter and summer months. Care of tank bromeliads indoors is basic. Avoid over-watering during winter, or the plant will rot. In summer, keep the central reservoir filled with water and avoid over-potting. Fertiliser isn’t necessary as the plant provides its own nutrients through its leaves. Propagation is a simple process of removing pups from the parent plant and putting them into small pots. Look online for choices or contact your local nursery.

Waipū Horse Adventures owner Adele Greatox created the opportunity for people to participate in horse treks along Uretiti beach five years ago. “My husband Julian and I moved to the area in 2007 after relocating from living in Japan for 15 years where I broke in racehorses,” says Adele. “I am from the UK and spent my life around horses. I was a steeplechase jockey and travelled around the world working in Italy, the UK, New Zealand and ended in Japan, breaking in racehorses. “Julian is a horse dentist, and we also run a showjumping stable. We breed and break in showjumping horses as our daughter Maddie and son Jamie both compete. I started the trekking business to pay for their showjumping, and it became a success. “We love everything about horses, including their different personalities. My own horse is a paint horse and is very sensitive. Another horse, Ollie, is an escape artist, and my horse taught him to steal the feed bin and slip it over a fence without spilling it. “He also taught another horse, Ronnie, to jump gates to escape. They are very characterful. Some are very gentle, like Rhubarb, who doesn’t like trouble, is quiet and stays in the background. “We offer all types of treks. Our clients sign in, and we go through health and safety regulations. We give demonstrations on what to do, such as how to get the horse to turn left or right and stop.
p Adele Greatox has been involved with horses since she was a young child and now enjoys assisting others in experiencing riding on the beach
“With horses, they have a hierarchy system, so each horse rides beside its mates. We know our horses very well and if anyone is nervous when they come we match them to the best horse. “People who come along say they appreciate the helpfulness of our staff, the gentle horses and beautiful scenery. It is a great place for first-time riders because we keep as safe as possible. It is what we do every day. “Riding by the sea is very relaxing and cleansing. When you are on a beach, riding a horse, even if you are having the worst day in the world, there is a magical feeling. It is a great way to destress, and

you feel centred and ready to face the world again later. “We have a lot of return visitors. Some people come to canter along the beach because it is something they have always wanted to do. Riding breaks up their everyday routine. They are able to have close contact with an animal that they wouldn’t normally have. I love trekking along Uretiti beach for up to two hours. The whole experience is
extremely therapeutic, and I love seeing people come back happy. “It is normally the most nervous people who return with the biggest smiles because they realise they can ride. It gives them a sense of freedom. The accomplishment gives them a boost, which makes it more special. “We love seeing people having a good time. That to us makes what we do that much more worthwhile.” ¢

p Photographing couples, families and scenery is all a part of Kyle’s passion
p Kyle with his mother, Kerry Underwood
A social experience u by Ann van Engelen
Kyle Underwood is well known as the manager of the Three Furlongs Bar and Grill in Kaiwaka and is now becoming a sought-after photographer in the area. “I grew up in Maungaturoto and still live there after 31 years. When I left school, I went to university but dropped out as the course wasn’t right for me,” says Kyle. I got a job at the Maungaturoto Hotel as a bartender and became the manager a couple of years later. I was really shy growing up, and working at the pub pulled me out of my introverted personality. I loved serving the people and am now the complete opposite and like socialising. “I finished at Maungaturoto and took over managing the Three Furlongs at Kaiwaka. As a manager, I like the marketing aspect, promotions and building something from an idea. “At times it is about trial and error and you find out what doesn’t work real quick. We now have a really good team and it has been encouraging to see the plans I had become a reality. The longer you are at an establishment,
the more you get to know who is around and what they like and what they don’t. I love making people happy, and good food does that. “Creating new menus takes experience, and I have six years of

”
mistakes and work alongside my chefs to come up with new menus. “One of my favourite meals are ribs, and older people enjoy a good hearty meal like beef cheeks or lamb shank. I find people enjoy ordering meals that they don’t have at home often. It makes the outing special.”
Kyle took an interest in photography as a child. “I have always enjoyed taking photos and found through work I was able to dabble with the camera more. I am very lucky with that aspect as not many jobs allow you to do what you love. “I started taking my own marketing and promotion photographs with my staff being the models. It gives them experience in front of the camera, and they love it. “Photography to me is different now compared to when I was growing up. The ideas just come from my brain. “I like to be unique and don’t really get inspired by other people’s work. I don’t want to copy what other people do, my work is always random, and the ideas just come. “I believe you need to stand out and want to be different, but my personality is different, so that helps as well.

p Capturing people in different environments such as returning from a hunting expedition is a style Kyle enjoys
p Ensuring clients are comfortable while being photographed is all part of the job
“
Hopefully, one day, I will end up with a little studio and be able to make a career from my hobby. “I started offering photo shoots for people as a way to help families have keepsakes. “To get people to relax, I have fun with them and make jokes. I never tell them to relax for a start as that doesn’t work. You need to try to be as natural as possible and make them feel like they are not in a photo shoot. “I am not a documentary photographer. I like to pose people, but there is a fine line between looking posed and not looking posed. “Photos are memories that make people happy in the future whether they believe it or not at the time. “They may not want to be photographed when they are younger, but 10 years down the track, they will regret not having the photo when they look back on their life. “To me, capturing little children is absolutely important as they are forever
changing. There is never going to be a time where they will look the same. Whether it is your own camera or you find a professional, it is always good to get a family photo every now and then. “Having a photographer take photos for you means you will have a good album and professional photos always look that little bit more polished. We don’t necessarily have big photos on our walls anymore — most albums are now digital. “Being digital is a little bit sad, but you can take the photos everywhere with you to show friends and family. Most people have a couple around the house but always have the digital album in their phone or on their computer. “I am 100 per cent self-taught and use a Canon 77D for no particular reason except it is the one I started with. I find it a really good camera. It is all about practise and experience. I have
tried a lot of different techniques over time and pulled it all together, but I do look back on some of my work and think the images are horrendous. “My worst shoot was when I dropped my camera in the water at a local wharf recently. “I also did it with a drone on a waterfall shoot. I was learning to drive the drone and flew it the wrong way. Instead of flying away from Piroa Falls, I flew it into the waterfall. “One of my most memorable shoots was a work shoot at Waipū Cove. We arrived at 5am on a cold morning for a sunrise shot and took two dinghies out to the beach. “I had three models in one dinghy and me and my sister in the other. “The sun was just coming up, and we rowed out on the ocean. “The models had a fishing rod each. One had a gumboot on the end, and
one had a real dead fish on it. The guy was leaning right back in the boat with the fish. “Because the fish was dead weight, the line broke, and he fell backwards and capsized the boat. They all ended up in the freezing water at 6am. It was such a funny moment. “I have started my Kyle Underwood Photography Facebook page and am open for people to contact me for portraits. “Hopefully, one day, I will end up with a little studio and be able to make a career from my hobby. “I haven’t done any weddings yet and am looking forward to experiencing my first. “The camera is my passion, and helping people obtain good photos for themselves, their parents, grandparents and friends is an important part of my life.” ¢

BUSINESS PRIDE IS JUSTIFIED Out of the uncertainty of Covid-19 has come a new positivity for business in the north of New Zealand. Despite the hardships faced and conquered by those in the commercial sector, that’s the tale told by the figures. Northland topped the table for regional economic growth in December 2020 and has held the top spot ever since. A quick look at ASB Bank’s regularly published regional scoreboard shows that Northland is leading the charge. The bank’s analysts cite a booming construction market, more jobs, and retail spending up five per cent in the first quarter of 2021. For a region that was anticipated to suffer greatly due to lack of international tourism, it is progressing well. As the international effort to vaccinate citizens against Covid-19 ramps up, it’s possible that we’ll see more gains in the tourism and hospitality sector as well. However, for now, it’s small to medium businesses that are carrying the day. Local innovators, small-town employers and regional specialists, which have successfully adapted and pivoted into a new market environment with consummate grace.
This time last year, we were praising the business community for its resilience; this year, it’s all about flexibility. New ways have been found to work, market, ship and serve customers without the pandemic getting in the way. Additionally, a philosophy of hyper-localism has permeated the market, with customer support for their friends and neighbours spreading into what has been a positive space for inter-business collaboration. It gives the business community a lot to be proud of, with the biggest issue on the horizon being one that contains its own silver lining. Employment levels and wages are rising, even before full border restrictions come down, powering a resurgence in the hospitality, transport and foodservice sectors. However, this does mean more customers with more disposable income in the local market. Capitalising on a Northland business environment where more people are in work and able to enjoy the best the region has to offer will likely be the next wind shift for entrepreneurs to navigate. The way in which business leaders have adapted and won through what will no doubt go down in history as the ‘pandemic year’ indicates that the reins of commerce here in the north are in good hands.

Moroccan Lamb Pizza u by Jessica Keesing
This is a bit of a labour of love, but totally worth the love that goes into it. I had to do a little ferreting around in the pantry to find one ingredient that we all seemed to have collected during lockdown — the almighty yeast. I’ve been on the hunt for a simple but delightful pizza dough for a while now, and here she is. Topped with homemade Moroccan spice rub lamb pieces (if you don’t have all the spices at home, there is a Moroccan spice blend in the spice aisle at the supermarket) and some other lovely morsels. The dough is a biggie, but you could cut it back if you want. I popped my other ball into the freezer for a later date. INGREDIENTS DOUGH 2 cups lukewarm water ¼ tsp sugar 1½ tbsp active dry yeast 2 tbsp olive oil 5¼ cups flour 1½ tsp salt MOROCCAN SPICE RUB 2 tbsp soft brown sugar 4 tsp paprika 4 tsp cumin 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp ground chilli 1 tsp ground cloves 1 tsp salt
TOPPINGS 500g lamb steak 1 block halloumi cheese ½ telegraph cucumber 4 tbsp Greek yoghurt Handful cherry tomatoes ½ red onion 2–4 tbsp passata Spinach or Rocket Lemon Salt and pepper to taste

THE WEEKEND LIFESTYLER July 23 2021
METHOD In a large bowl, add two cups of lukewarm water, sugar and sprinkle over yeast; allow to sit for five minutes until yeast has dissolved and started to froth. Add flour, olive oil and salt and bring together with a fork (or stand mixer). Once together, tip out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until the dough is soft. If it gets too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour. Lightly oil a bowl and cover the dough mixture with oil, then cover with cling wrap and a tea towel and pop somewhere nice and warm for two hours, or until dough has doubled in size. While waiting for the dough to rise, make the spice rub by combining all ingredients in a bowl, and mixing together until everything is combined. This makes quite a lot, but it can be used for lots of different things, a rub on your meat, seasoning for roast vegetables, flavouring in couscous. It really is up to your imagination as to how you use it. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch back and then separate into two or three balls (I did two) and set aside to rest for a further 20 minutes. Once rested, stretch out over a baking tray and don’t use a rolling pin as it tends to knock the air out of the dough. Once stretched, spread passata over pizza dough. Chop up lamb into chunks and use a generous amount of Moroccan seasoning to cover the lamb. Fry off in a small amount of oil until browned on the outside but still fairly rare inside. Add on top of base. Cut halloumi into slices, and brown on both sides in the same pan as lamb. Once cooked, squeeze over some lemon and crack over some salt. Add on top of lamb. Finely slice red onion and sprinkle over; add halved cherry tomatoes. Pop in the oven for around 10–15 minutes, as all you’re wanting to do, is make the base crispy as everything is already cooked. While the pizza is cooking, make tzatziki. Grate the cucumber, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a kitchen cloth. Pop in a bowl, add yoghurt, salt and pepper to taste and a squeeze of lemon. Mix until totally combined. Remove pizza from the oven, add spinach or rocket then drizzle over tzatziki, and tuck in.

A fruitful enterprise u by Ann van Engelen
Garrie and Gillian Eaton became the caretakers of Te Hana Orchard in December 2020, with the business complementing their freerange chicken farm. “Garrie is the son of a dairy farmer, and I grew up in Australia from three years old and returned to New Zealand when I was 18,” says Gillian. “We started Aotearoa Free Range Eggs 18 years ago, and the old leaseholders of Te Hana Orchard were our customers. One day they said they were looking for someone to take over the lease, and we jumped at the opportunity. “The orchard was established in the early 1900s by the Becroft family. The 100 acres was cleared by horse and cart. The current owner purchased it in 2008 and continued developing it. “We love the fact that it is an outdoor business and good for our children. Garrie’s dad and his wife help us too. We enjoy supporting the local community and selling local products through
“
the shop. We also donate a lot of fruit to schools. “We have 14,000 fruit trees and have produce coming off the orchard all year round. We grow 17 varieties of apples, four varieties of grapes, peaches, feijoa, pears, the old Golden Queen peaches and Black Doris plums. “At present, we are in the middle of our citrus season with mandarins, oranges and oldfashioned grapefruit. “We like being back on grassroots growing food in an environment that we value. It is nice to see people come to get fruit they remember from their childhood. “We cut hay off the orchard, produce our own seedlings, we have Duroc, Large White, Landrace, Captain Cook and black pigs. Calves are arriving soon to manage the grass. We will take them up
We love the fact that it is an outdoor business and good for our children

Please send your C.V and samples of your work to jobs@integrity.nz
p The Eaton family appreciate all aspects of caring for Te Hana Orchard
to weaners and sell them on. We want our animals to be free-range. What produce we don’t sell goes to our pigs as part of our environmental plan. “In summer, we open the orchard for people to self-pick. It gives families the old-fashioned experience of picking the fruit they eat. “We recommend when you buy fruit, remove any plastic and place the fruit in a bowl, not in the fridge as it loses condition and won’t taste as good. We suggest buying a little often to eliminate waste and don’t put fruit with bananas as bananas cause quicker ripening.
“We go to the Mangawhai Community Markets each week and also work with Northtec and help train the next generation of horticulture workers. The students learn all aspects of orcharding here. “Being based beside the marae at Te Hana is a perfect spot for people to pull in and visit. It is the perfect location to sit under a tree and have a break on your journey. During summer we will have real fruit ice cream, pies and other food. “It is a family operation, and we love the lifestyle and giving our children exposure to the other side of farming.” ¢
