Construction work for phase one of the Mangawhai shared path and village intersection improvements is set to start later this month and will be completed by 2022. Waka Kotahi NZTA and the Infrastructure Reference Group of MBIE have provided most of the funding, with the council contributing approximately $500,000. The work is part of a wider shared path network planned for Mangawhai, improving safety and connectivity between its two centres and making it easier to travel by foot, bike or scooter along a part of busy Molesworth Drive.

The team is working to retain as many of the Norfolk pines wherever possible, and those being kept will be protected by ‘tree bridges’

The contract to construct the path has been awarded to United Civil. Kaipara District Council Mayor Dr Jason Smith is enthusiastic about the possibilities this new connection will bring. “Mangawhai is by far the fastestgrowing area in our district, and this work will significantly ease some of the congestion and safety issues that have come with the increase in people and visitors,” Mayor Smith said. “Improving connectivity for all types of users those on foot, by scooter and bike, as well as car, is critical for community wellbeing.

Detailed design is underway for the next section of the shared path (phase two), and construction is planned to start under the next Long Term Plan 2021–2024, pending funding approval. Phase two continues from the end of phase one through to Mangawhai Central and includes a boardwalk running alongside the causeway. ¢

Events fund open for fresh ideas

u by Andy Bryenton

A new fund is keen to disburse money to worthy special events, helping establish the north as a place to visit and enjoy some culture and scenery, food and music. The Northland Event Fund seeks to disburse money from a contestable ‘pool’, to help organise sustainable, visitor-friendly events such as concerts and festivals that will bring people to the region. The east coast already boasts several such events, and this contestable fund may make more possible. Part of the core goal of the fund is to support those ‘offering new and exciting experiences within the region.’ “The distribution of the Northland Events Fund will be a collaborative effort to inject much-needed funds into the right places within the Northland events industry,” says Tania Burt of Northland Inc. “All while driving visitation to the region, boosting our economy and growing the capability and support for the events industry. We intend to continue to build lasting key partnerships throughout the region as the fund rolls out over the next four years.” To help make decisions on what to support, a panel of local experts has been convened, drawing decision-makers from the Whangarei District Council, Far North District Council, Kaipara District Council and Northland Inc. The panel will make recommendations on who to consider for funding, how much they may need, and the positive impact their proposed events could generate. This

We made it first. We make it last.

p Festive funding found — the new Northland Events Fund seeks to boost tourism and plays to the strengths of the east coast with its wellestablished festival calendar

multi-council approach means that there will be fair representation for all parts of the north. The KDC will give Mangawhai, with its existing tradition of festivals and events, a strong voice at the table. Those wishing to contest the fund and gain support for their special event are advised to engage with the process now.

A flying fruit-lover

Business assets — buy or lease?

u by Liz Clark

u by Corinne Smith, Director & Chartered Accountant

You can hear the downbeat of their wings before seeing them; the kereru is an iconic fixture of native bush and local gardens.

When you need to buy a business asset, should you buy this item outright, or should you lease the item and pay for it in handy, monthly instalments?

Distributed throughout New Zealand, the kereru or New Zealand wood pigeon is the country’s only native pigeon species. Kereru are large colourful birds foraging on the fruit of native and exotic trees in bush and gardens. Kereru are currently considered as a nonthreatened species under international threat classifications. However, in many parts of the country, the birds are declining due to uncontrolled predators and land development. The adult birds are easily identified with their blue-green plumage on the upper parts, and purple-bronze iridescence on the neck, mantle and small feathers of the wings. The underparts of the kereru are white with blue-green on the upper breast. The bill is mainly red, eyes and feet are crimson. Fledglings and juveniles have duller plumage.

Nesting takes place throughout the year. However, the main egglaying takes place during the spring when fruit is more plentiful. Nesting takes place on a platform made of twigs with a single egg laid. Chicks are raised by both parents and fledge 35–40 days after hatching. The birds’ diet includes leaves, flowers and fruit from a broad selection of species — native and exotic. ¢

This is a question we get asked on a regular basis. I thought it would be a good read for those looking at this and deciding which way to go. To buy or to lease? That is the question. Buying: the pros and cons: • Pro: It’s a tangible asset. When you buy an item, you own the item outright, and it will appear on your balance sheet as one of your business assets • Pro: It’s yours for the life of the asset. Once you own the item, you have full use of the equipment for the duration of the life of the asset. You can sell the asset to free up the capital if you ever need to • Con: It’s an expensive outlay. Paying for the item up-front is a large outlay for the business and will require you to have the cash to cover this cost or • Con: You may require extra funding. If you don’t have the liquid cash available to buy the item outright, you may need to take out a loan. You can claim the interest against your income as a tax deduction Leasing: the pros and cons: • Pro: Leasing has a cheaper entry point. If the item you need to purchase has a large price tag,

leasing allows you to make use of the asset without the cost of buying it in full. For start-ups and smaller businesses with minimal capital behind them, this can make leasing a very attractive option • Pro: You can spread the cost. There is still an associated cost of leasing, but you can spread the cost for a longer period, making it easier to find the necessary liquid cash to meet your lease payments • Con: You don’t own the asset. There are different types of leasing agreement. Under a capital lease, you do own the asset (once you’ve paid it off). However, if you opt for an operating lease, this is a more short-term lease, and you won’t own the asset at the end of the contract • Con: You may pay more in the long run. Most leasing agreements will attract additional costs and interest on your agreement, so you may well end up paying more than the market price for your asset in the long-term We can help you review your current financial position, assess your available cash flow and look at your regular cost base to decide whether buying or leasing is the right thing for the business.

Waipu volunteer firefighter Lyndie Mullins has a passion for helping her local community through opportunities that come her way. “A friend was in the volunteer brigade and asked me for a year to join. Six years ago, I decided it was a good way to help the community,” says Lyndie. “If I knew what I know now, I would have done it years prior. Even though we are volunteers, we take our job very seriously and train every week. It is an awesome job working with a group of people that you feel safe with, as you try to keep others safe in their time of need.” Lyndie is competing in the annual Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge on Saturday, May 22. “This is the fifth year I am doing the challenge raising funds for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand. Our brigade dedicates our efforts to someone in the community each year. Last year we dedicated our climb to Janine Boult, who was in remission from cancer. “I found out recently that the cancer has returned, so we held a shave for a cure fundraiser last Saturday to go toward the stair climb and again dedicated it to Janine. “The shave off raised nearly $12,000. A lot of people got their heads shaved to support Janine, including three children whose parents own Waipu Hammer Hardware, the Jones family, who are also firefighters, and a local sparkie. “If they didn’t get involved, we wouldn’t have been able to raise the

funds to go toward the stair climb, and we really appreciate their support.” The stair challenge will see 900 firefighters from across New Zealand climb 51 flights of 1,103 steps. “Every year, I wear a kilt under my jacket to represent Waipu. This year I am carrying the steel cylinder, which weighs 15kg on its own without the rest of the gear. All up, my uniform will weigh around 25kg. “You just take one step at a time. Even though it is not competition, I still get nervous, but other firefighters always give you the thumbs up.” Lyndie is also involved in Reading Angels at Waipu p Waipu volunteer firefighter Lyndie Mullins will be participating in her fifth Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge on Saturday, May 22, raising funds for Leukemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand Primary School.

Such glorious things u by Liz Clark

No matter how small your garden, a flowering magnolia is a must-have addition. Flowering at the end of winter, magnolias encompass more than 210 described species. Its genus was named after the French botanist Pierre Magnol. These flowering trees have been cultivated for gardens for centuries. Horticulturalists have further developed varieties for flower form, colour and earlier blooming. Deciduous magnolias come from Asia, while evergreen types are mainly from the American continent. Magnolias vary in size and height. Smaller varieties of two metres or less are recommended for growing in large containers or smaller gardens. For much larger areas, specimens up to several metres in height can be planted and provide a spectacular display from late winter to summer. The most important thing first, of course, is the soil and situation. Magnolias do well in well-drained, moist, slightly acidic soils with lots of organic matter and a sheltered site. Like many plants, these trees fail to do well in poorlydrained, heavy clay soil. Plant well above the base clay layer using compost, goodquality topsoil mix and stake well. Mulch well during the summer dry period and water heavily if there’s been a lack of rain for a week or more. In Northland, deciduous magnolias flower from midwinter onwards until September, while evergreen species bloom summer to autumn. Pruning of the trees should be avoided if possible. Branches in more mature trees take longer to heal and can be susceptible to fungal diseases. Evergreen types of magnolia vary in colour and form. For a statement in a very large garden, the Magnolia grandiflora is the largest of the group. Growing to 27m in height, it produces large white blooms. However, these trees would not be suitable for a smaller urban garden or courtyard. Smaller varieties are available, many developed in New Zealand to fit changing garden sizes. Cultivars to consider are Kay Paris, a compact grower reaching up to four metres. It has fragrant white flowers and can be used for hedging. The Port Wine Magnolia, a stunning red-flowering tree growing up to three metres, is suitable for containers. In the deciduous range, the cultivars developed in New Zealand by the well-known Jury family are perfectly suited to our climatic conditions. The named cultivars available are numerous; here are a few to consider for the garden. Amongst the Jury selection, consider Apollo, Black Tulip and Felix Jury. Other varieties international and locally developed to try are Galaxy, Genie, Gere, Honey Tulip and Koban Dori. ¢

The Good Baby returns u by Ann van Engelen

At nine years old, Northland Rescue Helicopter ambassador Madison Macmillan has released her third book in the Good Baby children’s series called the Good Baby and the Unicorn. Madison published her first book in 2018 at seven years old called The Good Baby and The Bad Hippo, which she wrote on her way home from school one day. She released The Good Baby and the Hairy Monster in 2019 and has, so far, donated $1,000 of book sales to the Northland Rescue Helicopter Service. “When I was in year two, my teacher read a book about a Bad Baby and

a Good Hippo, and it inspired me,” says Madison. “I liked the way the author wrote and how my teacher expressed it. I came up with the Good Baby idea on the way home from school. The Bad Hippo story is about being honest and the Hairy Monster in the second book is my cat, Boris. “My friend and I came up with the unicorn idea as we go on adventures together on my family farm. The Good Baby and the Unicorn is about the unicorn not having many friends

because he looks different with a horn on his head. “They become friends and rescue a tadpole in a storm and put it back into its home. The tadpole is also different. I hope the book helps people take care of others who may be different. “I donate money from my book sales to the Northland Rescue Chopper so they can buy things they need to rescue people. Living on a farm, I know the chopper can get to remote places easier and faster than ambulances, and they can drop a person down on a harness to help if need be. “I come up with ideas from things around me. My next book is the Good Baby and the Naughty Grandma, and the fifth book will be the Good Baby and the Kauri Snail. Adam, my dad’s friend, does the artwork. He is a fireman, and having him help is really nice. “I also like taking care of the sheep and chickens, playing hockey and doing gymnastics. I love living on the farm and helping my grandad move the cows, feed out the hay and going around the property on my go-kart to do my chores. “I hope other young people will try writing as well, even if they don’t publish their books. I think as I grow

p Danielle Adams has always had an interest in art. At the beginning of the Covid lockdown last year, the Kaiwaka resident decided to participate in an online business studies course to fill a gap in her life when her daughter left home to attend university. Danielle has since developed a unique style of creativity, producing wooden food platters bringing the ocean to the table. Each piece is original and hand-painted with the lacing of the waves her trade secret.

A uniquely wooden sea u by Ann van Engelen

Artist Danielle Adams moved to Kaiwaka 17 years ago and said she discovered very quickly that she had moved to an extremely supportive community. She has since started Adams Family Productions as a way to use her artistic talent. “I originally moved from Auckland to Pahi with my young daughter as my parents had land there close to the sea,” says Danielle. “I loved the lifestyle. We eventually moved to Kaiwaka to start life fresh, and we found the community embraced us. Eighteen months ago, my daughter finished school and went to university in Auckland. “I have two young boys at home and have always been creative. I started looking to see what I could do with the feeling of loss I had from her leaving home. I went online to find something that interested me and decided to play around with resin.” Danielle studied working with the product as she considered making wooden platters for food display.

“I watched videos and read articles about working with it. It is one thing gaining knowledge, but it is another doing it, so I purchased the cheapest marine resin that I could find to experiment with.

“

As soon as I get the lacing of the waves complete, my enjoyment comes in

”

“I kept practising and learning, and then Covid arrived, so I committed to a small business studies course in Wellsford via Zoom. I managed to get support, networked with people and was helped with the direction I wanted to go with creating wooden

platters, coasters and wall art. I was also given a financial mentor, and he helps me where he can in business. I sourced wooden boards but couldn’t find a food-safe resin that I was happy with. Each resin reacts differently, so it took a while to find the one that I liked. “I made a few platter boards with paua and beach scene designs and invited people from the course to give me feedback on my product. They liked the paua design but preferred the beach scene as New Zealanders love the beach. “They were right, and the beach scene boards sell quickly, but I still have the paua design available. I wanted to create an ocean scene people can look at and go to anytime. I love the beach as it is the place I wash my worries away. I feel relaxed and have a connection where I can let go of stress.

p Danielle decided to make food platter boards, coasters and art with beach scenes as a way to bring the ocean into people’s houses, creating a sense of peace and tranquility

p Danielle Adams is thankful for the experience she gained through helping her parents with their business when she was a young girl and is pleased her young sons can gather knowledge by helping her

p Family is important to Danielle, with her parents Brian and Dorothy integral in helping her, not just through life, but encouraging her in business studies and through her development of an artistic career

“

Working out what the customers want and seeing the finished product has taken me a year and a half. I love going into my studio and getting a blank board and putting the blues on, trying to replicate the sea

”

“I love the platters as they bring something bright and peaceful into the kitchen. Having something beautiful on the table while you cater to friends and family makes me feel proud.” Danielle dyes the resin she uses with pigments, and the lacing of the waves is a trade secret. “I made coasters as a less expensive option for people. My partner Jesse does carving and is extremely good at his craft. I asked him to help me to create a Maori design to use as well. He also makes 21st keys for family members, and we are now experimenting with making keys with beach scenes on them.” The art is done in up to three layers. “Working out what the customers want and seeing the finished product has taken me a year and a half. I love going into my studio and getting a blank board and putting the blues on, trying to replicate the sea. I love

getting as close as I can to creating the beautiful ocean. “As soon as I get the lacing of the waves complete, my enjoyment comes in. The lacing tops it all off. Some boards come up exceptionally well, and I don’t want to sell them, but I do. “The first market I attended was in Wellsford last October. At the time, I was terrified of selling and hid behind my boards, but another lady who attended the course saw and set up next to me. “She rearranged all my boards and supported me through the market. That day I sold three of the six boards and received a lot of positive feedback. I have her to thank and have sold lots since then. “I have now attended various markets and have my Adams Family Productions Facebook page, and people contact me through it. People say they have seen the photos on my

Facebook page, but they are stunning in real life. “I also have my pieces on display at the Old Wellsford Library. The OWL is a community gallery that supports artists, which is important for everyone. “I love living in the Kaiwaka area. It is certainly home for me. The community has given me encouragement and confidence. My parents Brian and Dorothy, have been amazing the whole way through. “They had a second-hand bric-a-brac stall when I was young, and I helped them set up and keep their products nice and clean. They set me on the money box, which was a little metal container. I watched them then create a second-hand shop in Avondale called the Busy Bee Trading Post. I saw them get business cards, signs and products, and I know that experience has helped me today.

“When I first started selling, I had flimsy plastic stands, so dad stepped in and made wooden easels for the platters to stand on. Customers buy them to display their boards at home. “Now, my seven-year-old helps me set up and pack away. He sells DVDs and comes up with ideas like selling little money trees in kits. It warms my heart to see him doing what I did when I was little. “My parents were huge role models for me to step out of my comfort zone. I watched them create a successful business and retire to Pahi. In summer, mum still runs to the wharf and dives in for a swim. It is refreshing to see. “I never realised how popular my art would be when I came up with the idea and am now preparing for the Christmas rush. I am starting to look for suppliers of native wood now, and I am excited to see what the future holds.” ¢

Chocolate chunk cookies u by Jessica Keesing

Forever in the search for a delicious cookie? Give this one a crack, it ticks some of the boxes. Although I could be a little biased on that I suppose. A slight labour of love, but well worth it. I’m not a coffee or tea drinker, but I imagine it would go well for a morning tea or be great in the kid’s lunch box, or just anytime you want a cookie really. Cookies are a breakfast option, right? Ingredients 250g soft butter 1 cup white sugar 1 cup soft brown sugar (packed) 2 eggs 1 tbsp vanilla extract 3 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 2 cups chocolate chips/chunks (I use Whittaker’s milk chocolate and cut it up)

Method Preheat oven to 180°C, line baking tray with baking paper. Cream butter and sugars together until creamy. Add eggs one at a time and then add vanilla. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into butter mixture and combine. Once combined, add chocolate chips/chunks. I tend to get my hands in at this point to really smush everything together, but if you’ve got a great stand mixer it’ll do the trick as well, the hand mixer tends to get a bit overwhelmed by it at this point. I pop this in the fridge for an hour to help stiffen up the fats, and so I don’t get flat pancake cookies. Then roll them into golf-ball-sized balls all in one go. While I wait for one batch to cook, I pop the rest back into the fridge. On my trays, I tend to only get six on at a time. Bake for 10–12 minutes.

p The Outboard Pro team from Whangarei will be competing at the NZ Offshore Powerboat Championship series at Marsden Cove this Saturday

p It takes a village to race a boat such as Team Hidromek, formerly known as Race for Life, at the powerboat events

Speed bonny boats u by Ann van Engelen

Steve and Denise Preece are sponsoring this weekend’s NZ Offshore Powerboat Championship series at Marsden Cove as a way to support the sport and bring entertainment to the community. “Steve and I help run powerboat racing events around the country. When we moved to Marsden Cove six years ago, we decided to bring the competition here annually,” says Denise. “Steve races hydroplanes, and I organise five events for them as well. We own two businesses here, Marsden Cove Marine, which is a marine workshop based right in the marina, and Marsden Marine Supplies. “Marsden Cove is a great place to live and the perfect spot for boat racing. We get a lot of enjoyment bringing the boats here ,and families can come and enjoy a day out together. It is a free community event and a great experience to watch. This year, the furthest competitor is from Gisborne.

Scott Lewis from Fairview Windows and Doors will be racing his boat Hijinx along with his 16-year-old son for the first time in the 400 class. There are a few family teams this year.” There will be approximately 20 boats competing this Saturday. “There are a couple in the V8 Superboat class, a couple in the 600 class, and we run in the 400 class, which are twin 200 engines,” says Scott. “Then you have the 80 mph and 70 mph class, which has another six or seven boats. My dad used to race years ago, and I have always had a passion for the sport. The opportunity came along for me to race, and I have loved competing. “We have Outboard Pro from Whangarei and a couple more

teams from up north coming along. We appreciate all that Denise and Steve do with their sponsorship and organising these races. Denise deals with councils, harbour masters and does all the paperwork. She is really integral to the sport. “Marsden is normally a calm race as it is not out in the open sea. The bay is usually pretty still, but if the tide turns and the wind comes up, you get a bit of a chop, which makes it interesting. “When we are out on the water, we don’t see how many people are watching. My 16-year-old son Charlie will be steering, and I will be throttling the boat — you really need two people. It is like driving down the motorway, and someone is steering

the car while someone else breaks and accelerates. “The sport is growing, and we love sharing the day with local communities. Powerboat racing with all the other teams is very family orientated now. There are at least four other father and son or father and daughter duos racing. “The NZ Offshore Powerboat Championship Series will be at Marsden Cove on Saturday, May 15 with viewing from the Marsden Bay Yacht Club. We have to race with the tide, and the first race begins at 11.30am and the second at 12.30pm. “People can see the boats up close at Marsden Marine Supplies, and there will be plenty of fun and activity after the race from 1pm.” ¢

p Opening day at the Albertland Co-operative Dairy factory in Te Hana saw the crowd gather for a moment of posterity in November 1934

A dairying legacy u by Liz Clark

Passing through the small community of Te Hana on State Highway One near Wellsford lies a group of concrete buildings once home to the Albertland Co-operative Dairy Company Ltd. The former dairy factory complex had its origins as far back as 1927. The Port Albert Co-operative Dairy Company had outgrown its manufacturing base situated at Port Albert. The site was not adequate to handle the everincreasing milk production from its local suppliers. By 1933, it was decided that a new factory needed to be built. The site at Te Hana wasn’t chosen until late in the same year; the problem the site faced, however, was the issue of a supply of clean water for the factory’s needs. In January 1934, several test wells were sunk in an attempt to locate an

artesian water supply. When all efforts failed, the project was abandoned. Instead, tenders were put out for a pipeline to be laid at a location a further distance away from the factory site. An underground stream, more than four kilometres away, was later tapped and utilised for the factory operations. The co-operative commissioned architect Alan Cave, a well-known designer of dairy factories, to draw up the plans for the new buildings. Tenders were then advertised during January of 1934 for the construction of the new Te Hana factory. A total of 10 tenders were received for the building; THERE IS A FULL TIME PRIVATE CLINIC IN WHANGAREI, RUN BY WOMEN FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH PROBLEMS Such as troublesome bleeding; menopause concerns; abnormal smears; pelvic pain; pain or irritation ‘down there’; fertility issues; non–surgery options for prolapse and bladder problems. 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.

Whangarei contractor JR Haig’s tender of £6,000 was selected by the board of directors. By February of the same year, the builders were on-site laying down a solid foundation. The building was constructed of concrete and steel. Operations commenced on August 1 1934 with 280 farms supplying the milk for the butter-making process. The official opening of the Albertland Co-operative Dairy factory took place on November 27 of the same year by then Minister of Agriculture, Charles Macmillan. It continued to produce dairy product output until 1987 when finally the

factory was closed down for good. Like many others, the factory was a victim of the rapid economic changes that had occurred during the 1980s. After closure as a dairy factory, the buildings were used for a time by a berry juice manufacturer. Since then, the complex has been used by various enterprises. During the early-2000s, significant damage was caused by an out of control blaze that started in a car wrecking yard. A further part of the factory was later demolished to make way for another project. What currently remains has been used as a cafe and arts centre. ¢
