The season-opening will feature new work not previously exhibited, setting the scene for the following 22 exhibitions that will change each fortnight. The aim is to provide new insights and aspects seen through the eyes and created by the hands of artists. The exhibition opens on Thursday, August 4, with local artists also preparing for the upcoming Kaipara Art Awards. “The opening exhibition is followed by a touring exhibition of small prints from members of the Print Council of New Zealand,” says Mangawhai Artists chair Belinda Vernon. “The Small Print exhibition features unframed prints of A4 size at the

New barber in town u by Ann van Engelen
With 12 years of experience in the barber trade, Zirriyan Ahmmed opened The Don Hair and Beauty Barber Shop in Mangawhai Village last Monday. “I got into hair cutting straight out of school and absolutely love the industry because I get to make people feel good about themselves,” says Zirriyan. “I am Syrian-born, from Northern Iraq, and have been in New Zealand since I was eight years old. I came to Mangawhai for holidays, and recently, I came for a getaway and noticed there wasn’t a place for males to go for grooming and downtime. “Over the last 18 months, life taught me some lessons during the lockdowns,
“
“My shop is a place where guys can come and have a laugh and forget about their worries. I came up with the name The Don because, to me, all men are bosses in their own way. I want every male that comes into this place to know he is a Don, whether he is two years old, 15, 50 or 85. We all make a way for ourselves in life. “I really wanted to open, but my equipment is stuck in Melbourne, and was loaned a chair and other things to get started, which I really appreciate. I
I am blown away by the support and love I have found here already and my boundaries were pushed. I really wanted to make a difference in the world and find a place where my skills would be valued and appreciated. “When I saw the gap here, I decided this is a great place to set up a barber shop to offer my services and fill the gap in the market. “Encouraging others is why I got into the industry, and I want to help men feel good on a daily basis. They build roads in the rain, use big machinery and make life tick over, and they need to be shown appreciation.

p Ensuring community members such as Samantha have confidence in, on and around water is an important part of Ellen’s mission
Creating swim spaces u by Ann van Engelen
This year, Ellen Quirke established the Swim Kaipara Charitable Trust in response to the lack of accessible aquatic facilities and services in and around the Kaipara District. “My family moved here a year ago, and the idea was born out of the love for the water our 10-year-old daughter has,” says Ellen. “One of the big things we noticed when we first moved here was the lack of swimming facilities for her, and that meant there wasn’t anything for other people.” Ellen has been involved in swimming sports since she was young and formerly represented New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games. “I offered swim lessons through my swimming school Otamatea Aquatics at Otamatea High School, and we had 140 children come through over summer. I then realised there is a need in the area and formed the trust with the idea to
increase aquatic services and facilities across Kaipara. “I have been a swim teacher since I was 15, teaching anyone from three years old. We want to fulfil a demand for people to learn to swim and have facilities for competitive swimming. I retired from the sport in 2015 after competing at the Commonwealth Games for NZ and was also a Learn to Swim and junior swim coach in both New Zealand and the USA. “We offer group and private swim lessons for anyone age three and older, and I also have my master’s in sports exercise. I realised with my skill set, I had a lot to offer the area and feel it is my duty to do this because swimming is the core of my existence. I want to make
sure that others learn to swim because we are in the business of saving lives. “The trust is looking at ways to use existing facilities that are underutilised and make them community accessible. We hope to get people from across the areas to help us establish and improve facilities such as school pools. We want to provide people of all ages with skills and tools to be confident in, on and around water so they can enjoy recreational and aquatic activities. “Swimming keeps you healthy, mentally and physically, throughout your life, and water confidence is important
for surfing or kayaking and fishing too, in this fabulous place we live. “I have some things in the pipeline already that will be announced at the meeting on Thursday, August 4, at the Centennial Hall in Maungatūroto at 6.30pm. “We would love people to join us and help us create communities of aquatic facilities and water safety awareness.” People can follow Swim Kaipara Trust, or Otamatea Aquatics Facebook pages or go to the swimkaiparatrust.nz website for more information. ¢

Working with nature u by Liz Clark
Back in the 1970s, two Australian environmental specialists, David Holmgren and Bill Mollison, combined resources to develop a sustainable and non-chemical way for better food production systems and named it permaculture. Put in less complex terms, permaculture means working with nature rather than against it using the observations from natural ecosystems and applying them to the farm or home garden. A more recently used term is regenerative farming, amongst others. Permaculture has three main principles: care of the earth, care of people, return of surplus to the earth and people (also called fair share). It sounds complex when following up on permaculture explanations on websites. The amount of available information can be overwhelming and design courses expensive. Food forests, plant guilds, zones and other terminology are things that come with time and experience rather than a oneweekend course covering a lot in two days. While those on a farm or lifestyle
block can afford the space to develop large-scale permaculture systems — the home garden has much less to utilise. However, it doesn’t mean it can’t be applied. First, small beginnings are far better than attempting to create an entire regenerative garden all in one go. For instance, this writer wanted to create a sustainable small kitchen garden near the house. The challenges faced were poor soil, kikuyu grass and other weeds causing issues by smothering desirable plants. Rather than resorting to using chemical spray to clear the area of the weeds, large amounts of cardboard were laid down on the area marked out for the new garden. The cardboard smothers the weeds and
grass by preventing the light coming through for photosynthesis. Next, a thick layer of newspaper was placed on top and a layer of well-rotted animal manure, then a combination of compost and soil placed on top. The combined weight of everything helped to suppress any new weeds. All up, the area I marked out was approximately 10 square metres. Utilising materials, such as cardboard and newspaper reduced more waste being sent to the landfill (care of the earth). For edging, materials such as old bricks and natural logs were used to help keep the soil in place. A layer of bark mulch on top prevented soil and moisture loss.
Using a garden diary, vegetables and flowers were planted according to season. As soon as plants were harvested, they were replaced with a different vegetable crop, so production was continuous. The garden has provided food for myself and another family falling back on the second principle — care of people. Lastly, scraps and dried weeds were returned to the soil and excess food passed on to others reflecting the last principle — return of surplus. It’s a fundamental way to begin in permaculture. Check out sites such as YouTube for tutorials and more information. ¢

Sue Tisdall started the One Tree Point Artisan Market nearly two years ago to help support the children staying in Whangārei Hospital. “I had a stroke in the past, and while I was in hospital I discovered the nurses often buy things themselves for the children that they care for,” says Sue. “I decided to start the market at One Tree Point School, and the fee we pay to be on-site also helps the school.

WE COME TO YOU A fine wee tradition u by Liz Clark
On January 1 2023, the Waipu Highland Games will be celebrating 150 years since it was gifted the land where it is held each year by the Caledonian Society. ‘These games went a long way to maintain the culture of the early settlers’ homeland. The piping, drumming and dancing of Scotland have been intrinsic to the Scots wherever they have travelled. The heavyweight competitions were an important part of this once-a-year celebration,’ states the Waipu Highland Games website. The games’ tradition for Waipū goes back slightly further to December 28 1869. A gathering of 400 or so competitors, residents and visitors from Maungatūroto and Mangawhai came together in Mr W McKenzie’s paddock for the Caledonian Games. Initially, the organising committee, consisting of DJ McLeod, D McLean, William and K McDonald, and N McKenzie, envisioned January 3 1870 for the games to take place. However, it was decided instead to hold the games on December 28 1869 to make room for other celebrations. On a showery summer’s day, the competitions for the Caledonian Games began at 11am in earnest. A local correspondent, ‘having witnessed at Waipū one of the best displays of keen, manly, generous competition that ever
we have seen anywhere at the Caledonian games’ described the local ladies needing to ‘skedaddle for shelter’ whenever the rain returned. The competitions of the day included putting the heavy stone won by William McDonald, tossing the caber won by Philip McKay and throwing the hammer. The events continued throughout that day with men, women and children all taking part in fun until 7pm that evening. In concluding the report to the Daily Southern Cross, the correspondent wrote: ‘We have never seen games better competed for or better feeling displayed throughout, and the bevy of blooming beauties p Outfitted in their finest, these men were ready for the Highland dance competition at the 1902 Waipū Caledonian Games present were sufficient guarantee to ensure the best temper, include several events as well as other agility, cunning and physical strength and the keenest competition.

Treads triumphant u by Andy Bryenton
Those familiar with the mud, ice and snow of the hinterland of Russia will not be surprised to learn that the first-ever tracked vehicle was invented in this often cold and hard-to-travel land. The earliest records of a tracked machine are for a horse-drawn cart that would not sink into mud and snow — Fyodor Blinov was the inventor. He first showed off his idea in 1877, while halfway around the world in Pennsylvania, USA, another inventor, Charles Dinsmoor, was entertaining similar ideas about salvaging wood from rough terrain. Both were technically beaten to the punch by the bizarre, 30-tonne Heathcote steam plough, which resembled two bandsaw blades wrapped around giant wooden drums. It was designed to plough muddy English fields.
CALL WAYNE
The first world war proved the versatility of tracks, with the success of the landships, what we would today call tanks. Internal combustion engines replaced steam, lightening the load, and the era of treads was born. When the ground is soft, treads and tracks stop vehicles from sinking in. That is because the weight of the machine is spread across a larger contact patch. Narrow tyres and wheels dig into mud like a knife-edge, while big tracks work like snowshoes. In this way, even the biggest tracked vehicles can move across muddy terrain with ease. For example, the 70-tonne Abrams main

AUTO & MARINE Razor sharp halo u by Andy Bryenton
When Lexus began its mission to install a luxury and performance halo above the Toyota Motor Corporation, it shook the world with the LS 400, a competitor which stacked up against the best Mercedes could offer. Decades later from that late 1980s debut, the LS 400 still looks sleek and modern, outshining the big S-Class Merc it was once a rival for. The original Lexus and its popular 1UZ V8 were benchmarked against the more stylish W126 S Class. However, it was the Bruno Sacco-designed Mercedes S500 that slugged it out with Lexus on the forecourts of American dealerships and those in New Zealand. A follow-up was called for, and soon the efficient four-litre 1UZ was popped under the hood of the Soarer, which came in Toyota spec with an equally legendary straight-six. Lexus had its first GT coupe, and it looked fantastic. A stumble came in the early 2000s with the SC430. The product was misunderstood, and this smooth cruiser didn’t deliver the sports-car handling its convertible shape (and a cameo in the Terminator films) promised. Now, however, Lexus is back. The LFA proved that a passion for speed and precision was still the beating heart of the company, despite the popularity
of its big cruisers and hybrid-powered corporate luxur y models. Right now, the jewel in the crown of Lexus is once again a V8-powered grand touring coupe, and once again, it’s set to take on Mercedes-Benz. It is a little tougher than it was in the p Lexus LC is the halo vehicle for the entire Toyota-Lexus group, and it’s living up to the legacy of the original LS 400 1990s, as the Germans have leaned heavily into partnerships laser-cut lines. The five-litre petrol V8 with their AMG performance works delivers 470 horsepower via a 10-speed engineers, producing machines like transmission, along with a sound that the GT. Good thing, then, that Lexus will raise goosebumps on the back of has thrown away conservatism when your neck, like wolves howling during a designing the new LC coupe, and has night-time camping trip. made it look and sound the business.

p Chloe perfected her macaron recipe during the lockdowns, and then began her business making it her career
Boutique macaron bites u by Ann van Engelen
One Tree Point resident Chloe Boreham had never tried a macaron until she made the sweet delicacies during the lockdowns, and now she is a top fan of the French delights. “I was born in Kerikeri and grew up all over the North Island because we travelled for dad’s work,” says Chloe. “My high school years were in Whangārei, and I moved to Sydney at 23 years old and stayed there for nearly seven years. I married Brett, an Australian, and we moved to One Tree Point three years ago.
“
gluten-free. The cookie, or biscuit, melds together with the filling, and macarons are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. “They are really enjoyable and don’t feel like they are really sugary, but they do have sugar in them — yet don’t leave a sugary coating in your mouth. They are actually very difficult to make, and I call
lemon, and then people requested pistachio or salted caramel, and my flavours grew from there. During feijoa season, I created a feijoa and honey recipe by mixing the fruit into a compote mix with a butter cream, and they were beautiful.” Chloe creates a new flavour every month.
The process is about very carefully folding meringue, almonds and icing sugar together
“We have two boys, and Brett works for Norwoods as a regional sales manager. I didn’t return to my job after the lockdowns, and that is how I started my macaron business, Boutique Bites by Chloe. Macarons are elegant little meringue sandwiches with buttercream filling. They come in many flavours and are a great treat for adults after dinner, and people who don’t have a sweet tooth really enjoy them. “I make them the traditional way with almond flour, and this makes them
Boutique Bites by Chloe my lockdown skill business. I wanted to do something during lockdown, and I am one of those people that if something doesn’t work, I commit to figuring out how to succeed. “My first batches failed. So every day during lockdown when our boys took their nap, I practised. It took me some 50 batches to perfect my recipe, and I registered my kitchen with the council at the end of March. “I make a Swiss meringue so the cookie isn’t so sweet and began with
”
“At present, I make dark chocolate and raspberry, which is my new favourite. I also make basic flavours like chocolate but feel if you are paying for them, you want something a little bit different. “The method I use is having the egg white and sugar over a bain-marie until the sugar dissolves. Then you put it in the mixer to whip together, which takes a while because it is hot.” Macarons are considered to be of Italian origin, dating back to the eighth

century. According to legends, the delicacy was introduced to France in 1533 when Queen Catherine de Medici of Italy married King Henry II of France, and her pastry chefs took the macaron recipe with them. “The process is about very carefully folding meringue, almonds and icing sugar together, and then you have to pipe them out onto a silicon baking sheet, and you let them dry for 30 minutes before putting them in the oven, so they get nice little feet. “For those who are daring, my adapted recipe for 12 macarons is: Set the oven to 135 degrees Celsius. Wipe all equipment with vinegar or lemon juice. You need 65 grams of egg white, 65 grams of granulated sugar, 70 grams of almond flour, 70 grams of icing sugar and ⅛ teaspoon of cream of tartar. “Sift together the icing sugar and almond flour. Place the egg whites and granulated sugar in a heat-proof bowl and stir. Place a saucepan with one centimetre of hot water on the stove with

the element on high and put the bowl on the saucepan. “Mix the egg whites and sugar until the sugar is dissolved — don’t let it get above 52 degrees Celsius. When foamy, remove the bowl from the saucepan, add the cream of tartar and whisk until stiff peaks form. “Then add gel food colouring and mix for 10 seconds and add half of the almond flour to the meringue and fold. Sift the remaining almond flour and continue to fold until the batter is molten lava. “Pipe the batter onto a silicon baking tray in two-centimetre dollops and tap the tray to pop any bubbles. Pop any remaining bubbles with a toothpick and place in the middle of the oven with the door ajar for three and a half minutes. Turn the oven to 155 degrees Celsius and bake for 12 minutes.” Cool completely before piping some filling on the underside of a biscuit with your flavoured buttercream filling to make a sandwich with another biscuit
on top. Place in the fridge for 12 hours to set — six hours minimum. “It is all about practise and mastering the process. Once they have cooled on the baking sheet, you peel them off and match the shapes to pair because they can vary a little bit because you hand pipe them. “To come up with flavour ideas I experiment, and now have a range of flavours, including raspberry, pistachio ganache and blueberry, all made from real fruit and nuts. “It is all about mastering the process. It has been quite a journey, and a lot of people have come along for the ride, especially my team of enthusiastic taste testers. “After they have set in the fridge, I pack them in their little boxes for delivery or the markets. It is very time-consuming as it takes an hour and a half to make a batch of 30 biscuits, which make 15 whole, and then I make the filling and pipe them. “Ultimately, I love the precision that is required, and it is a nice break from the
day-to-day things we do. I experimented recently and turned my frozen failed portions into a macaron flour and made a beautiful caramel slice. “It is nice to get into my creative side. I am making fox shapes for a birthday party. I make the occasional cake and supply other cake artists like Krystal’s Cakes and Platters in Whangārei with my macarons to decorate their creations with. “It is refreshing having time to myself concentrating on the exact number down to the gram, so they work. The mixing requires you to be very present because the meringue can’t be over or under-whipped, or they don’t work. “People can follow me on my Boutique Bites by Chloe Facebook page. Two and a half years ago, if you asked me to do this, I wouldn’t have been into this at all because I was lucky to be able to cook. The lockdowns changed me a lot, and now I love being at home cooking, particularly finding new recipes.” ¢

Keeping dogs safe u by Ann van Engelen
With the concern regarding the number of dogs going missing in the Northland area, the Northland Police say they are aware of discussions in local communities and have come up with advice to try and protect family pets.

“We have been committed to making further enquiries into these incidents, and we understand a missing pet is extremely distressing for their owners,” says a police spokesperson. “We continue to urge the public to report any suspicious behaviour to us.” The police have some recommended steps to keep your beloved furry family members safe. “Don’t leave your dog alone in public – treat them as you would your child. Don’t leave them unattended while shopping — in your car or tied up. “Keep an eye on your dog at all times, dog parks, beaches, and as much as possible keep them on a lead. “Secure your yard to keep thieves out and dogs in. Ensure the yards are wellsecured, lock any gates, and keep your pets in an area not easily visible from the road.
“Mix up walking times. Walking patterns are prime opportunities for thieves to take a dog. They can cut the lead, scoop them up and just like that — your dog will be gone. “Don’t overshare information. Try especially to not reveal too much about your animal to people you don’t know or on social media. “Ensure all dogs are chipped, tattooed and registered and make
sure their ID/chip is up to date. Police welcome information from anyone who sees any suspicious behaviour in their communities, particularly if someone you know has recently acquired a dog and isn’t forthcoming with information on where they got the dog from. “You can contact us on 105, or anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.” ¢
