A seaside lifestyle Rory and Sarah Gatfield relocated to Waipū late last year after living in Australia for 10 years. Along with their two young children, they joined the local surf lifesaving club as a way to help the community as their children gain confidence in the water. Rory, who is a professional photographer, takes every opportunity he can to capture images of local scenes, people and life in general on a daily basis. Through their business Eightythreephoto, Rory and Sarah appreciate the support they are receiving from the local business community. continued on page 10 …

p Alex Hunt, the Northland Rescue Helicopter recently-welcomed co-pilot

“I worked at the Helicopter Line based at Glentanner Station flying around Mount Cook National Park and the Mackenzie Country region,” says Alex. “My work and key operations included scenic flights, utility work, search and rescue missions, charter flights and heliskiing experiences. “I am looking forward to working with the Northland Rescue Helicopter team. There are numerous challenges the job has to offer within the role. They are a professional helicopter emergency medical service organisation.” Demand on rescue chopper trusts around the country is greater than ever. “The Northland service is particularly busy because of the large area it covers and the region’s vast coastline,” says general manager Vanessa Furze. “Our crew has flown almost 150 more missions in the first half of this year than the same time in 2020. Last year was the busiest on record in the service’s 33-year history, even with the impact of Covid-19 lockdowns. “This year, demand for our service has ramped up further with 584 missions undertaken in the first five months compared to 435 last year.” The missions and call-outs the team have been tasked with a range from

It really highlights the need to have a dedicated Northland rescue chopper service that is committed to providing the highest standard of rapid response critical care possible. “We continue to meet ongoing demand and keep our choppers in the air due to the generous support from sponsorship by local businesses to fundraising by community groups and Northland locals. It’s great to know they really appreciate the fact we have a worldclass air ambulance service for the region.” The ch o p p e r service is currently seeking funding to assist with the upgrade of equipment in the rear cabin of the helicopters to help to enhance the level of care for patients. “The upgrade involves replacing our stretcher system, ensuring it aligns with St John road ambulances and hospital stretcher bases.

Tip decision ‘so wrong on many levels’ u by Paul Campbell

Meetings and hui are being organised across Kaipara and beyond to determine a combined appeal to the Environment Court in the wake of the decision to permit a mega-dump for Auckland’s rubbish in the Dome Valley. Hearing commissioners have voted four to one in favour of the application by Chinese-owned Waste Management Ltd to establish a 60-hectare tip within a 1,000-hectare block it was allowed to purchase by the Overseas Investment Office in Wayby Valley. The dump application sparked a major protest led by the Fight the Tip movement strongly supported by Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua leading a consortium of iwi culminating in a hīkoi to Auckland Council. Now the commissioners have ruled in effect that the dump’s importance overrides cultural concerns. Reaction to the decision by commissioners Alan Watson, Watne Donovan, David Mead and Michael Parsonson, with the dissenting vote by Chair Sheena Tepania, has been swift and angry. “Our resource consent system is broken if 1,000 people are in opposition, including iwi, the Department of Conservation, Forest and Bird, Kaipara District Council, the wider community and more,” said Fight the Tip executive member, Michael Carmichael. “The only loser is the environment. This is so wrong on so many levels. We will continue this fight!” Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua CEO Alan Riwaka said he is disappointed and will consult with his team as

p A hīkoi to Auckland Council failed to halt the tip progress

soon as possible to discuss the next steps. “There is a powerful dissenting opinion from the chair, Commissioner Tepania. Her decision identifies a strong basis for a potential appeal to the Environment Court. “Rest assured, the fight is not over, and we will continue to advocate for the mana of our whānau, hapū and iwi in the protection of our whenua, waterways and Kaipara Harbour.

“Commissioner Tepania, in the minority, considered the consents should be refused as the range of adverse effects on the environment, both during construction and operation, are more than minor and in some cases significant, and would not be avoided or mitigated.”

An appeal against the tip decision must be lodged with the Environment Court within 15 working days. Any questions about the decision or process that was followed in reaching it should be directed to Auckland Council: domevalleyfeedback@aucklandcouncil. govt.nz. ¢

Focussing on natural alternatives u by Ann van Engelen

Anneke and Craig White are now the new owners of the Kākāriki Health and Wellbeing store in Mangawhai. “We travelled around New Zealand before settling in Mangawhai 12 years ago when we discovered Mangawhai had everything our family loved,” says Anneke. “Craig and I moved to natural products and health remedies 16 years ago when I was pregnant with our first child. We realised how many products had chemicals in them and decided to move to organic. “We threw out products that contained chemicals such as shampoo and conditioner and started to shop at Harvest Wholefoods in Grey Lynn.

We decided when three people are suggesting the same thing that we should consider the option. “We also have an online organic food store called Mangawhai Food Store and were looking for premises to put our food in.

Dancing among the ferns

u by Ann van Engelen

Barb and Wes Bycroft spent 42 years living in the Waitākere Ranges where her childhood knowledge of ferns and native plants helped her to establish a thriving nursery. “I have always liked ferns. The bush section Wes and I lived on when we married was my parents’ holiday bach. It was a real hideaway with an acre and a quarter of native trees on it,” says Barb. “From an early age, I got hooked on native plants. My dad had a friend in the depression years who worked alongside the planting gangs in the Waitākere ranges as a bushman. I remember sitting in the clearing of our property with him as a child and he counted 43 different native plants just by looking. “When Wes and I moved there, we had trouble growing vegetables under the kauri trees so we focussed on ferns as they grew well in the environment. We started selling our plants to the Oratia Native Plant Nursery in the late 1980s. “We were both school teachers and I retired in 2005. I followed my fern growing dream and worked three days a week as the fern specialist at the nursery, and at one point Wes was the manager. “We moved to Waipū in 2015 next to the Caledonian field and discovered a

tiny pocket on our land that is ideal for growing ferns and created what I call a secret fernery. “Waipū has the right climate for growing our ferns. When we moved we had more than 80 native species. Most of them like it up here and we underplanted along our drive and then had to pick which ferns we wanted to keep due to space. “We propagate them and are focussing on rare and endangered species such as king ferns and plants special to Northland such as Todea barbara, a lovely Northland coastal fern. It is similar to a cycad and very spectacular. “I start with the spores to get them growing. It can take up to three years before you have a plantable fern. We sell through our ferns.kiwi.nz website and our customers are usually people who specialise in plants. “We also grow native companion plants that coexist with and complement ferns. Ferns are great for planting under established subtropical plantings. We think all landscaping

p Wes and Barb Bycroft have had an interest in growing native ferns for more than 40 years and are continuing their passion for providing speciality plants from their property in Waipū

plans should include ferns in their underplanting. “Living in Waipū we became interested in Scottish and Irish music and started Twisty Willow Celtic Band. We perform at the ceilidh every second Saturday of the month at the Whangārei Pipe Band Hall. A ceilidh is a traditional Scottish or Irish social gathering with reeling, which is folk dances. “Our nights are aimed at teenagers. They get stuck in and whoop and holler around the place. We have a large repertoire of traditional and

contemporary songs in addition to a wide range of Celtic instrumentals. “Wes and I perform for Irish, Scottish, Celtic or Medieval themed functions and events. We provide an exciting entertainment package for audiences of all ages and the music suits any occasion from concert to wedding, corporate entertainment to fairs and pubs. “Waipū is a great area to live. The community is extremely supportive of each other and the climate is great for our passion for ferns.” ¢

That slice of Mediterranean u by Liz Clark

Olives have been grown for thousands of years in Greece, Italy and the Middle East for their oil and the table; in Northland, they are thriving. Other than producing fruit, olives can be used for topiary, screen planting, feature trees, bonsai and avenue planting. They are hardy, resistant and can stand up to harsh conditions, including coastal salt air. For the garden, large or small, there is an olive to suit your needs. The trees need a warm, sunny site to thrive. The soil should be light, welldrained, and between pH6.5–pH7 for good fruit production. Avoid adding too much compost or fertiliser when growing these trees. Olives prefer lower levels of fertility in the soil. Too much nitrogen in the soil will cause excessive

foliage growth and poor fruiting. A light dressing of a balanced fertiliser in spring will help with flowering. Olive trees should be planted in late winter to early spring for the garden and any time of the year when placed into a pot. Dig the hole to accommodate the root ball and ensure it is firmly planted. Staking the tree will help to prevent wind rock, keeping the roots stable and the trunk straight. Keep young trees well watered and lightly liquid fed until they are established. Watering is also important during the flowering stage for older trees and setting fruit. A long, hot summer and

cool winter are needed for the trees to produce good quantities of olives for harvest in autumn. Use bird netting to prevent hungry birds from taking your olives before they can be harvested. Young olive trees should be pruned into a vase shape with four to five branches outer with the centre kept open for good air circulation. Initial pruning should be done during the summer months. Remove the central leader when creating the vase shape. Once the tree is established, pruning can be done once a year, removing dead or broken branches or those rubbing against each other.

Pests and diseases are relatively few and far between. The main one affecting olive trees in Northland is peacock spot, a fungal infection causing circular lesions on the foliage and, if severe, on the fruit. If these appear, spray the tree with copper oxychloride solution in winter after the fruit has been harvested as a preventative. Recommended varieties for oil and picking are Frantoio, Leccino, Manzanilla, Nocellara, Pendolino and Picholine. For coastal sites, Koroneiki is the primary cultivar suitable for salt air tolerance. Look online or visit your local nursery for more information.

Joining two cultures u by Ann van Engelen

Portrait artist Si Si Wei moved from China to New Zealand seven years ago to start a new life for herself and now displays her artworks at the OWL Community Hub in Wellsford. “I had close friends here in New Zealand, and the opportunity arose for me to come and start a new life for myself,” says Si Si. “I met my partner Harley through friends. He showed me around the country, and we built our friendship. It has been lovely joining our two cultures together and building a family unit. “We had our daughter Taylor and were living in Warkworth, but we decided to move further north for a quieter life. “When I was little, I lived with my grandparents, and my teacher would give us free art lessons after school. I was constantly drawing on my table at home. When I finished school, I focussed on work and put my art aside. “When Harley and I had Taylor, I took it up again and started sketching Taylor when she was around one year old. When she turned two, I saw I was getting better, and now she is six years old, I can see how far my work has progressed. “Taylor is crazy about drawing as well. We encourage her to come up with her own style and ideas using her imagination. I let her use my art pencils, watercolours and paints because I think it is important for her imagination to grow and have access to the right materials. When she is older, I will give her lessons.” Si Si often works from a photograph of her subject.

“If the photo is clear, a portrait takes me approximately eight hours. I recently painted Paul, the manager of the OWL Hub. I worked on it for two days. I use Prismacolor pencils because the quality is so good — they are like using oil paint. The first coat goes on, and the extra coats cover well, and they mix and blend smoothly. “I always start with the eyes as they capture the person’s essence and personality. If you can’t get the eyes right, there is no point continuing on as it won’t show the real person. “I entered an online art competition with some friends, and I drew The Lady from Tibet. It is a pencil work and has a lot of detail. For the competition, you had to send in a photograph, and it was exciting to win a place. “Life is so different here for me. When I was young, I always felt like I had to find my own life. We visited China a few years ago, and I couldn’t get used to it. I love New Zealand — it is my home now. The culture here allows you to do what you want. “I have never regretted making the move. We love living in Wellsford. The people here talk to you and make sure you are OK. It is an easy life — everyone makes things so simple. The art community at the OWL Hub are doing amazing art and craft, and it is nice to be involved and have the opportunity to meet other artists.” ¢

Rory Gatfield constantly documents life through the lens of a camera, whether it be at the seaside in Waipū, on the ice in Antarctica or elsewhere in the world

A seaside lifestyle u by Ann van Engelen

An interest in photography and art from a young age has seen creator Rory Gatfield always have a camera in his hand as he has travelled during his lifetime. “My camera has always brought me great joy and enabled me to capture the beauty of the world around me,” says Rory. “My wife Sarah and I had spent so much of our childhood up here as our families had holiday homes in the area. My parents lived in Waipū Cove, and Sarah’s live in Mangawhai. “Photography is also a way I document our family life. I am often capturing Sarah, and our two children doing the things they do. “We moved to Waipū from Melbourne eight months ago after 10 years in Australia. We wanted to be here before our eldest child turned five, but Covid delayed our plans. “My family history has always involved the ocean in some way, and Sarah and I have continued with beach interests. We have found Waipū to be a hugely supportive community. The first thing we did was join the surf lifesaving club with our neighbours. “Our oldest child is in Nippers, the junior surf lifesaving programme. The

youngest child in the group is four years old. Throwing ourselves into the community was one of the best things we have done. It meant our son had mates before starting school, and it made the transition much easier for him.

“

I find the nicest images are the ones with the view on the beach or ocean.

”

“Nippers has given him confidence in the water and all those things help with growing up in the seaside environment.” Rory has worked in several industries, including boat building, mining, a support worker in Antarctica, and a major Australian art gallery, before pursuing photography as a full time career and forming his studio.

“My background includes sports photography such as dirt and BMX bike events and I have been to MotoGP in Australia and New Zealand. I moved into commercial and industrial photography as well. “I have a ground camera that I take stills and video with, and I also work with my drones for video and photography in the air. “I have always liked documenting everything that happens around me through photography and taking pictures of everyone in my world. I progressed from there and now do a bit of mixed media with photography and painting. “I started printing out photos I had taken and putting them on an aluminium composite panel. I then create a paper collage from magazines and books, and at times, add paint and finish off by pouring a resin over the top. It is a little creative outlet for me and something I enjoy doing with the photos I have taken. It is a whole new process and turns the images into another artform.

Using his drone, Rory is often found capturing landscape shots from high above, for both commercial or personal photographs

“

People believe in what you can do and encourage you along the way. Success continues on from there as you build your skills and your business through the contacts you make. “I started my career of boat building in Auckland straight out of high school. I then moved to Australia and mined for a couple of years before travelling to Antarctica as a support worker helping with scientific maintenance. “You do literally everything you can think of in the role to support the work and research programmes. I did four months at a time in Antarctica over the summer period, and my most spectacular photography was taken with my irregular DSLR camera there. “I have some very rare photos as you see some beautiful landscapes while you are walking across the ice thousands of kilometres from anyone else.” Rory says taking good photos with a drone takes practise. “I purchased some of the first drones that came out around 2013. Drone photography shows a whole new perspective that you can’t see from the ground. I have owned a few, crashed a couple and learnt along the way. “Once it is up in the air, you can see the distance straight ahead, but my

”

favourite thing is looking down at the ground from the maximum altitude. You are legally allowed to go up to 120 metres. It sounds high, but you can still see the drone. “There are Civil Aviation Authority rules which you must know when flying drones. Laws include not taking photos over people or private property if you do not have permission. If you want to fly your drone in a controlled airspace, you need clearance first from air traffic control.” More information on the laws of flying drones in New Zealand is available at aviation.govt.nz. “My commercial work includes everything for any type of real estate sales, to farm or beachfront properties. I find the nicest images are the ones with the view on the beach or ocean. “I came up with the business name Eightythreephoto when I was playing with words trying to figure out a company name and logo. Eightythree has the same amount of letters as photography.

“At Eightythreephoto, I create stunning visual content for my client’s brand and marketing style. I focus on originality and efficiency. We can custom-tailor each project’s team, location, budget, and timeline and maximise our creative output. “We maintain our quality and minimise our overhead. We can create a series or single images, a full production video or produce and design whatever someone needs for their business or project. “I use the drone for commercial work and have used it to video progress for a building company. Being able to showcase the building from the air gives a different perspective of the guys working away at what they are doing. “We lived in Melbourne for eight years, and I worked at the National Gallery of Victoria as an art handler. It was an amazing job. Every day we moved artworks from gallery to gallery or from storage to a gallery. The new build installations ranged from very small to huge pieces weighing 400kg and up to $4 million in value.

“Some sculptures weighed five tonnes, and some were hundreds of years old and very fragile. I learned a lot of problem-solving skills, and the job took a lot of patience. We treated all artworks the same, whether they were worth a few dollars or millions. “I dealt with some amazing exhibitions from installation to maintenance. It was a very valuable experience. “We have found starting a business from scratch here that our clients have been really encouraging of my work. At the beginning of the year, I didn’t know anybody and was going out and meeting people for work. People have been extremely helpful in giving me work and referring me on. “People believe in what you can do and encourage you along the way. Success continues on from there as you build your skills and your business through the contacts you make. That is a big part of being a member of the Waipū community, and Sarah and I are grateful for that as we build a life for our family here in the area.” ¢

OPINION

Is EV Subsidy a tax in disguise? u by Jane Gray

I ask because the only ones that can afford an EV car don’t need the subsidy while the rest of NZ will pay somewhere along the line. What about the added cost to those that live rurally and use combustion engines to carry out their day-to-day business. Trades, farming, postal services; and so the list goes on. What happens to them? There is no EV that could do the work that utes or SUVs do in our country. So from July 1 when we need to replace our combustion engine vehicle we will be taxed or penalised. How is that right? What happens to tractors? Should farmers go back to horse and plough? Not to mention emergency services. For example, what if there’s a fire at the end of a rural road, with the response, ‘sorry we can’t get there, there’s not enough charge on the battery.’ State highways are not fit for purpose let alone for EV use. At the moment the answer for dangerous roads is to change speed limits or put cones up; this will not change the fact that there is still a road that needs serious attention. Where is all the power coming from to charge these vehicles? Our power grid has enough trouble delivering what we need now. So does that mean more dams will need to be built? Better be careful

it’s not an SNA. What happens to all of the batteries once they are worn out? I agree that our environment is precious and needs to be looked after. It does seem rather ironic that resource consent has been given for a 60-hectare tip in the Dome Valley. How is that looking after the environment? I also wonder if that was SNA mapped and if not why not. What about looking at fossil-fueled power and manufacturing plants that we have to import coal to run. Better public transport. How about we get better systems for recycling or better still get rid of what we can’t recycle and probably never will be able to. It seems ridiculous to me that we get rid of single-use plastic bags and yet our rubbish bags still go out every week. How far will the powers that be go to rid the country of emissions? What’s next, the humble lawnmower or chainsaw? There are so many things in everyday life relying on fuel, and most need servicing, what will happen to those jobs? When will everyone else stop paying for those that pay very little but earn so much? ¢

Three waters plan in progress

u by Paul Campbell

Councils and wider ratepayers across Northland and the rest of the country are waiting for full details of the government’s controversial Three Waters plan to tackle the country’s drinking, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure. The proposal is to combine the country’s 67 council-owned and managed water services into a small number of publicly owned providers. How the reforms will unfold across New Zealand was expected in March this year, but now they are due in July. “Until we have information on the full details of the proposal, we have nothing on which to base an informed decision,” says Kaipara Mayor Jason Smith. “At the present time, it is an option p Nanaia Mahuta — Local Government Minister to opt-out of the government plan, as has the Whangarei District operations become eroded to a Council and Auckland Council. In our central authority.

His concern is echoed in small These papers say an investment of councils across the country that between $120 billion and $185 billion centralisation means local council is needed during the next 30 years. ¢

p Staff and students at Kaiwaka Primary School are preparing to celebrate the school’s 150th birthday this coming October

Commemorating 150 years u by Ann van Engelen

Past and present students, teachers and community members of Kaiwaka Primary School will be reminiscing this Labour Weekend as they celebrate the school’s years of service. “The school turned 150 last year. We held off the celebrations due to Covid to allow people to travel and celebrate with us,” says principal Sharlene Tournquist. “Over the years, the school has moved several times before being permanently located where we are now. I have been the principal for two years, and it has been a wonderful experience. “We have the most amazing team, and we have a great parent body, which helps such as our reading angels. They read with the students to get their reading mileage up, which is important for advancement. “We are lucky to be able to get our children back into nature and have discovery time on a Thursday afternoon. The students decide what they want to learn. It may be science experiments, hut building or something else. People

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

the school will be open for people to wander through. “A photographer will capture groups of people through the decades, and we will finish with dinner and dance at the KSA. “We have had a huge response so far from people living near and far, which is really exciting. “A lot of the older generation are excited to see the school now and share their stories with us. Being the principal now after 150 years is really special. For me, it is the stories that are the treasures. “I came from Whangaparaoa in 2006 as I wanted the family feel Kaiwaka has. There is a real pride in the town. I love coming to work every day and seeing the way the children and whānau greet you, chat easily and show appreciation for what we do.” ¢
