Maori seat wins Kaipara vote P3

Holiday cruising Labour weekend was ‘one out of the box wonderful’ the consensus of opinion after the three-day break saw the first real taste of summer. True to forecast there was a wave of warmth from the subtropics bringing balmy temperatures. The warm breezes gracing large parts of the country were particularly welcome in the Kaipara, and there was an exodus of launches and runabouts from various ports on the waterway. Many returned with a selection of fish for the table, while other boating enthusiasts, like these from a Pahi anchorage, rafted up for an evening’s social exchange in a sheltered harbour bay.

Council cadre meet the markets u by Andy Bryenton

Dargaville’s first-ever twilight markets took off with a boost of enthusiasm from the public last Friday, as large numbers of townsfolk flocked to the Northern Wairoa Boating Club, drawn by the sound of music and the smell of barbecue.

Accounts: accounts@integrity.nz Printed by: NZME

MAKE THE SUN WORK FOR YOU!

These, along with the promise of several stalls full of produce, crafts, seedlings and other attractions proved irresistible despite late afternoon showers. Both the grill and the club’s kitchen were running hot to keep up with demand, while live music played and a cadre of Kaipara District Council representatives engaged with the public about the region’s future. Present were the mayor, Dr Jason Smith, and several of his elected councillors, all speaking to their constituents one on one regarding the KDC’s forthcoming 10-year plan. This plan will provide the framework for growth and change in the region through to 2031, a timescale which is certain to see large demographic changes and infrastructural needs, should present trends continue. In a novel way of assessing public opinion as to what is valued by the public, councillors handed out stickers representing council cash, to be affixed to boards representing core services.

“

Roading, libraries, parks and green spaces and several other council areas of responsibility were highlighted, with citizens able to indicate how important they were in their own vision of the Kaipara’s future. This Dargaville visit to the first-ever twilight market day was accompanied by similar excursions to Mangawhai and Paparoa, getting a feel for the different priorities of different towns. “We’ve been looking at various projects and what we can afford to do, while balancing budgets and our asset needs,” say the KDC’s spokespeople regarding the importance of the 10year plan. “The biggest focus will be on infrastructure, things like roads, pipes, bridges, we’ll also be looking at our environmental impact, to minimise waste and improve our rubbish and recycling services and how we can become a climate-smart council while addressing the challenges that climate change brings.” ¢

Maori seat wins Kaipara vote

u by Paul Campbell

Kaipara District Council has supported establishing a Maori ward, giving an iwi seat at the table in the next local body elections, with the decision made last Wednesday as council held its monthly meeting in Mangawhai. “It was a clear mandate from councillors with seven votes for and none against, while two abstained,” said Mayor Jason Smith. “It is a demonstration of democracy at work in Kaipara, one term, one year and one day after the elected council replaced commissioners. “I am delighted that the council has voted clearly on this, at an important time and following the Northland Regional Council’s recent vote.” The NRC elected the week before to have Maori guaranteed a voice around the council table from the next local body elections in 2022, through the establishment of dedicated constituencies and seats on the council. Tinopai kaumatua, Makaera Miru, says he is “absolutely rapt over the growing trend to open the door to true Maori representation in decisions around resource management. We have had our Tinopai Resource Management unit engaging with councils for three years and struggled

to get traction, which is legislated in the Resource Management Act. This is a new beginning.” The decisions by both councils bring them into line with the approach being taken by the central government and an increasing number of councils around New Zealand. To progress the decisions, KDC and NRC have to advertise the intention to create the new Maori constituencies and advise the right of five per cent of electors to demand a poll on the issue. If a poll is not sought, the councils then develop an Initial Representation Proposal setting out the proposed new constituencies, names and boundaries by August 31 2021. This would be followed by a period of formal consultation, including the opportunity for public submissions. A final determination would then be made by the Local Government Commission by early April in 2022, which would then apply from the October 2022 local government elections. ¢

It was not so long ago that the Mangawhai Opportunity Shop Trust announced its round of mid-year funds disbursements to notfor-profit local groups and organisations who make Mangawhai a better place to live. However, we are entering the festive season, and an ‘early Christmas’ has come for 14 more worthy causes in the area. “Due to your kind, quality donations, online and in-store shopping at the Mangawhai Opportunity Factory, the Mangawhai Community Opportunity Shop Trust (MCOST) has provided a total of 91 grants exceeding $278,800 in the last three years to community groups,“ said spokesperson Dianne Christiansen. “Fourteen more grants totalling over $40,000 have just been granted to local not-for-profit groups for the benefit of the community.” The full list of recipients includes Kindness Under the Radar, the Mangawhai Cadet Unit, Mangawhai Community Gardens, Mangawhai Domain Society, Mangawhai Heads Lifeguard Service Ltd, the town’s information centre, Mangawhai Museum and Historical Society, Mangawhai Kindergarten, Mangawhai Tennis Club, the Mangawhai Tracks Charitable Trust, North Rodney Blue Light Ventures and Totally Horse.

Taming the torrent

THE WEEKEND LIFESTYLER OctOber 30 2020

u by Liz Clark

The Northern Wairoa River has been the subject of many a saga for those residing on its banks, and floods were no exception. For the township of Dargaville, repeated flood events, either caused by the tidal surges of the river or heavy weather, are nothing new. In earlier times before the more recent engineering infrastructure to control flooding, the township experienced more than its fair share of being swamped by the brown tidal waters. Residents in earlier times found amusement in taking to rowboats to get around the streets or they waded through the flow to get to their destinations. In the earliest days of the young settlement founded on kauri timber and gum, the river was a far more formidable foe. In June 1875, the Northern Wairoa overflowed its banks on both sides spreading out to the alluvial flood plains for several hundred kilometres. Added to the flood event was a torrential subtropical storm that served to exacerbate the already difficult conditions the millers and settlers were enduring. One reporter wrote: ‘The watershed of the Wairoa, comprising some thousands of square miles, soon caused the tributary brooks to swell into miniature rivers, and huge

kauri logs that had for years lain for want of water to float them came crashing down.’ In 1888, with the commencement of the Kaihu Valley Railway, the navvies and platelayers too faced the threat of floods. Fine weather was needed late in the year before any work could be carried out. ‘The contractors for the

In the earliest days of the young settlement founded on kauri timber and gum line, although they have had to contend with many difficulties, such as floods, etc, are pushing on the work in a very energetic manner and are quite likely to complete their contract within the limits of the prescribed time.’ The railway wharf itself had been built the year previously. Its foundations and the embankments around it were strengthened to hold the river’s waters back in one of the earliest attempts to control its flow.

Kaipara Refuse Ltd TO BUILD AND MAINTAIN A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS IN THE KAIPARA SUPPORTING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES Kaipara Refuse Ltd has been operating since 2007 taking over the rubbish collection from Kaurilands Skills Centre and expanding to include the first domestic recycling collections for the Kaipara District. Kaipara Refuse has a close association with both Kaurilands Skills Centre based at Tokatoka and Greenways Trust from Dargaville-residential providers for people with disabilities. Meet some of our team: Rain hail or shine these guys are out collecting rubbish and taking great pride in the fact that when they have finished for the day everything had been left neat and tidy on the streets they have collected from.

p Significant flood events throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries more often than not saw Dargaville’s residents taking to a new mode of transport

However, despite those attempts, in 1909, after heavy rainfall the Northern Wairoa once again inundated Dargaville’s streets by several centimetres. It was reported significant losses had been made to the business community. Draper, Mr Adams had suffered a heavy loss to the sum of £190; the local correspondent at the

time noting ‘the floods are the biggest known for 20 years.’ In contemporary times Dargaville is now relatively safe from the waters of its iconic river. However, now and then, the waters of the Northern Wairoa do return as a reminder the torrent isn’t yet quite tamed. ¢

KEEP TRACK OF WHERE YOU’VE BEEN John and Wade both residents at Kaurilands (Tokatoka) have been on the trucks for 10yrs Mainly doing the eastern area of the Kaipara although you will see them around Dargaville from time to time.

Dominic has been a part of the Kaipara Refuse team for 7 years, starting off with just a day here and there but now is 3 days or more a week and also doing the Dargaville town bins when needed.

Thunder (Greenways resident) is our newbie on the trucks. He’s been working with us for a couple of years and is learning the ropes of being a waste collector.

Andrew another Greenways resident does a day a week plus most days the public litter bins in Dargaville.

The Legends: Pete and Jason have been collecting rubbish from the streets of the Kaipara since 1994, last year they decided that it was time to let some young guys do some. They have both retired from the rubbish collections (although Pete still happy to fill in on the trucks when needed)

No thorns required u by Liz Clark

As October slides into November, the countdown towards enjoying fresh berries with a Christmas dessert is fast approaching. Buying from the local store is the mainstay of most during the rush; however, growing your own is a far more relaxing and delicious experience. You don’t need a huge garden; berry fruit plants grow just as well in containers in a courtyard. Blueberries are one of the most prolifically grown berry fruits. They can be grown as standalone shrubs, mass planted as hedging or grown in containers. For the Kaipara District and Northland in general, nurseries recommend the rabbiteye varieties. Rabbiteye cultivars flower in early spring, requiring low winter chilling and warm late summer to early autumn weather for the berries to ripen. Fruiting occurs from January through until April. Resilient in drought and heat conditions, the rabbiteye is the one for local gardens. To ensure cross-pollination for fruiting, a companion rabbiteye variety should be planted nearby. Cultivars to look for are Centurion, a heavy cropper with small to medium berries; Climax, an early-season variety with large, dark-blue berries; Delite, fruits late-season with small light-blue berries; and Tifblue. As with all fruiting plants, success comes from the soil. Blueberries thrive in an acidic soil environment, preferably

at pH 4.5. Use a rhododendron or azalea fertiliser to adjust the soil pH as needed. The plants do well with plenty of organic matter and should be spaced one metre apart. Most blueberries grow up to a height of around 1.5 metres. Better-known as cane fruit, blackberries and boysenberries are very much a taste of summer fruiting bounty. Whenever we think of blackberries, the rampant species with the nasty thorns come immediately to mind. However, there are thornless, uprightgrowing varieties available for the garden. Black Satin, in particular, is one of the most popular cultivars available for gardeners. Four to five canes can be planted to provide well for a family of four. Boysenberries are a cross between the blackberry and raspberry plants. They are not without thorns and can be rampant. However, both blackberries and raspberries can be planted in a large container, such as an old wine barrel. At least a 40-litre soil capacity is needed for growth and support such as a trellis or wire. Remove old fruiting canes during the winter months for both your blackberry and boysenberry plants. Look for recommendations online or talk to your local nursery. ¢

Rambling in Mangawhai gardens

u by Ann van Engelen

In its 17th year, the Mangawhai Garden Ramble helps raise funds for the Mangawhai Kindergarten as a way to show community support. “The ramble is organised by the kindergarten, past and present parents and other interested gardeners around the area. This year we have 29 gardens on display across the area on November 14 and 15,” says volunteer John Dickie. “The event was established in 2003 by a dedicated group of mums and kindy staff. Every dollar raised goes toward the continued education, health and support of our young children and their families. For the last couple of years, the money has gone toward establishing a very nice garden at the kindy. The children that attend participate in the gardening activities.” Thirteen of the gardens on display this year have never been shown before. “The gardens range from large to small, old to new, rural and urban and some with water features, and garden art on display. Two of the gardens are available for night viewing. This year the major sponsor is Palmers, and we have a lot of local businesses sponsorship, which we really appreciate. “My personal garden is on display. It has been a work in progress for some 18 years. It is a large suburban block and begins at street level, lined

with lawns, orchard and vegetable gardens scattered throughout with seasonal flowers. “It then transcends into the banks below filled with lush native garden utilising mainly self-sown species following a stream. The garden had a major workover earlier this year during lockdown along with a lot of gardens that were enhanced during the Covid period. “The ramble is thanks to the love of gardens by mainly people who are gold card holders. Most have no direct association with the kindergarten at all. Garden art is a dominant feature of many of the gardens with plants and garden art for sale at many of the properties during the event. We are not providing refreshments this year due to logistics, and we encourage people to experience the local eateries. “It is the Mangawhai community coming together for the love of kindy and the love of gardens, to assist our beautiful kindy and their fundraising. I enjoy the interaction with the garden owners and the enthusiasm of the kindergarten community. “Ramblers tend to be people who are gardeners, whether their interest

is common or rare plants, plant colour or texture, garden art or vegetable growing. You can learn how to cope with the range of soil types, drainage due to drought or wet areas or simply have a pleasant walk among the plants. We get a lot of young people who have moved up here trying to work out what grows and what doesn’t. “You must have a ticket to go around the gardens. Tickets are on sale for

$25 per person. Tickets are on sale at Mangawhai Books and Gifts and Bammas Surf Mangawhai — cash only. Entry is free for children under the age of 12 years when accompanied by a paying parent/guardian. “Children must be fully supervised at all times.” For online ticket bookings, go to mangawhaigardenramble.org/tickets/ and pay via bank transfer. ¢

EVEN MORE REASONS FOR BUSINESS PRIDE 2020 has been a year when businesses have been put to the test by unprecedented circumstances. We’re celebrating their resilience, determination and vision for coming through the challenges they’ve faced even stronger. Last time, we talked about why there’s a justifiable sense of pride in the fact that consumer spending and confidence are high and many businesses have grown or adapted following the disruptive Covid-19 pandemic response. This edition, allow us to address just why it’s so important that the backbone of New Zealand’s commerce, the small- to medium-sized companies which make up our main streets, trades and services continue to thrive. Firstly, locals employ locals. We rely on our local businesses for convenience, accessibility, advice and expertise, but often overlook the fact that keeping that knowledge and skill base close by, and passing it on to the next generation, is also what small, locally-owned firms do best. The bonus for the customer is better service and the knowledge that there will be a

trained and knowledgeable pro to turn to in future years, but there’s also the added bonus of these local entrepreneurs creating higher-quality jobs with better stability. Multi-generational knowledge and service right in your town? That’s something to be proud of. The other factor which businesses in our Kaipara communities can be rightfully proud of is the fact that local business is a web of contacts, built on a reputation for quality. Put simply, those who are operating now, whether across the counter, in the kitchen or on the tools, are busy (more, it seems than ever before) because they are recommended. Thriving businesses do so because, at least in our close-knit communities, they develop a reputation for being good at what they do. For those who are busy now, and looking forward to a busy summer, take pride in the fact that you have the support of your neighbours and friends, other business owners and townspeople.

The Covid 19 lockdown periods were challenging for all business enterprises, including Terrasaw Industries. Our local and international customers depend on our TerraTrencher portable trenching products to support their essential services (mainly fibre/the internet, plumbing and irrigation) so we maintained a skeleton staff to keep essential parts and products available. We were surprisingly busy! Despite major disruptions to both local and overseas freight, we worked hard to keep our reputation for fast order turnaround and service. We received some nice feedback from these efforts, and current sales are strong - many contractors are now in “catch-up: mode”.

Hands to the clay u by Ann van Engelen

Mangawhai-based potter Gary Smith has been working with clay for 31 years and creates a variety of colourful household wares. “I grew up in Te Kuiti in the 1960s. My father managed the local hotel, and I have some very good memories of that time,” says Gary. Sometimes I feel like I had lived 1,000 potters’ lives and have done it many times before I first became a potter. “I became a potter by accident. I have a gift, and I use it. That’s all there is to it. It is my life and a very simple thing that makes me very happy. It’s not just about the pots. It is about the people who come into your life. “I am passionate about pottery and have never made money out of it, but it gives me something powerful. About 29 years ago I built a 45 cubic metre wood fire kiln. I constructed it in 1988 and then went to art school in Dunedin for a year. It was cold and a difficult year for the family. I learned how to fire a kiln and make domestic wares

such as teapots, plates and bowls. When I finished studying, we came back to Mangawhai. My friend Jack Luckens knew about Northland clay and basically gave me 25, 20kg bags to help us get started. I began to make some items and friends would come to the wood firing. Then their relatives

from overseas came, and I started selling my wares. Word got around that I was making pottery cups and mugs. “To me, pottery has a spiritual aspect to it. One night I was struggling to decorate everything and was at the

point of losing motivation. I didn’t know what design to use, and I needed to do a firing. I went to the shed and decided on a leaf design and did an overglaze and had it all done by 11pm. “I was putting the big pots into the top of the kiln and felt I wasn’t the one loading it. I became the second person. It was a very surreal out of body type of feeling as if someone else was there. I decided to go with it and never forgot that moment. “I have been a carpenter, a linesman for North Auckland Electric Power Board, which is now Northpower, and a truck and grader driver. I worked in the mine in the Australian outback desert in the 70s and early 80s making money so I could buy a house freehold. “I randomly ended up in Mangawhai when I left the mines. I decided to come home to be near my parents. We looked in the newspaper and saw

a house and an acre of land 37 years ago. I had never been here before, and am still here. I work from home now. At times I have to motivate myself because you need to focus when you are making things. Your brain is working a different way, and it is all feeling with your hands, not looking while you pot. When I am throwing the clay, my hands weigh it out, my mind knows the shape and the sensitivity in my hands give me a perception of the item like another sense. “I use my own clay and am still learning. I am making large vessels that I will fire soon. You can always learn something new. The clay teaches you how to handle it. I have watched videos of other potters, and they do similar things to me. It is amazing how it is not a conscious, but a subconscious thing that happens. I used to make traditional stoneware in

a wood-fired kiln, now I am doing high fired earthenware. I am well known for the blue and white fish design but no longer make those pieces. When our boys were growing up, we went fishing, and the fish design became who we are.” Gary and Vanessa went to Spain and met a potter. “I got into earthenware after watching him for two hours. They were using copper glazes, which are accessible and affordable. It gives you greens and turquoise, so I use that now. All my decoration is done when the pottery is still not hard. I cut through the white slip to the brown clay. The incised decoration is all done in the raw glaze. The bisque firing is first and then once decorated, the glaze goes on. Then it goes into the kiln. White on a brown clay gives you a good colour response. The dark

”

terracotta lines are seen through a green or turquoise glaze. The tool I use for cutting is simply a builder’s gun nail because I was a builder. It is simple, and it works. “We visited friends in the Loire Valley in France last year. The museums and things are beautiful. We viewed old farmhouse and la bonc pottery, which is famous because it came from people needing practical things for storing food. They are works of art. We saw pottery going back 3,000 years, including Roman pieces. The decoration and how they had done it was very cool. “Sometimes, I see pots and am drawn to them and have to physically touch them. It makes me feel very humbled that I am playing a tiny part in a massive story. There are so many interesting stories about pottery and why this pot may have a glitch. The

potter may not have been happy making it. This is the history of humanity. “We went to India and got some chai cups. They are traditionally made with terracotta on the side of the road. The potter sets up with an open fire and creates throw away cups that are environmentally sound. You make a cup of tea, drink your tea, throw the cup out the window, it hits the ground, and it turns back to dust. “Our direction now is back to basics using my own clay. I am doing corporate workshops with no more than eight people. “I like to do lessons in the morning when the energy is good because I want each person to have a positive experience and be grounded in the very different world that we are now living in. It feels good to us and is healing for people. That is why we do what we do, to help others.” ¢

p The sun was shining, and the rods and reels deployed as anglers gathered for one of the east coast’s red-letter days of fishing during Labour weekend

Anglers unite for fun and community u by Andy Bryenton

Labour weekend is often seen as the official start to the summer season out on the water, and conditions could not have been better this past weekend for 2020’s ITM Warkworth — Mangawhai Labour Weekend Fishing Competition, hosted by the Mangawhai Boating and Fishing Club. Not only was the angling event cited as a ‘fantastic weekend’ by the club president, but it was attended well by scores of keen fishers, and the community benefitted from a generous fish auction after the weights were tallied as well. A portion of the proceeds went to the local Mangawhai Patrol, who have also recently received a donation from the Mangawhai Community Opportunity Shop Trust to continue their work in promoting civil order and safety. Another donation from the big fish auction went to the efforts to construct

a historic wharf in exact period replica form, near the town’s famous tavern. Community support runs high for the project, which has hit recent snags along the way to fruition in obtaining

The big surprise of the day was the winner of the junior grade resource consents. Out on the water, the sun was shining and the reels spinning as some big fish took the bait. When it came time to award trophies, Mark Newbold took the crown

for heaviest snapper with a hearty 7.765kg catch, while Ben Lay hooked a mighty 2.34kg kahawai and Phil Hoops took out the gurnard division with a 0.625kg effort. Chris Mennel

landed the heaviest trevally at 0.61kg, while the biggest John Dory was brought in by Selkirk Goosen at a very respectable 2.08kg. The big surprise of the day was the winner of the junior

grade, Ollie Ryder, who managed to hook a monster. His 8.015kg snapper would have made a seasoned veteran angler proud. Not only did the young fisher bring home such a large catch, he also donated it to the fish auction for charity, then bought it back himself. The organisers gave big thanks to all those who made the day possible, including top sponsors ITM, all the volunteers, judges and wcatering staff, and not forgetting, of course, the anglers and club members themselves. ¢

Very berry cheesecake u by Jessica Keesing

Berry season is creeping up on us and I, for one, love to go for a forage for blackberries on the side of the road in the summer heat and getting that beautiful purple tinge on my hands. Nibbling on some that have been heated by the sun, while I ferret the rest of my bounty into a container. You can substitute any berry you want for this, my favourites to use are blackberries, raspberries or blueberries. Here’s a simple cheesecake recipe that is a no-bake and has no gelatin. I’ve searched high and low for a recipe like this because I despise the smell of gelatin and will find any other option I can. This holds up really well, after being in the fridge for a wee while. The cheesecake base is good for any adaptation you want.

METHOD • Line a 20-inch springform cake pan with baking paper on the base, I don’t tend to worry about the sides • Base: Crush the biscuits into reasonably small crumbs, some chunks are fine, but you need to be able to cut through it when the whole cake is set. Add melted butter. You may need a touch more butter as you want the crumbs to bind together to create the base. Press into the cake tin base and refrigerate while doing the topping. • Topping: In a bowl combine, cream cheese, lemon, vanilla and condensed milk, mix on high until the mixture is smooth. I do tend to add a touch more lemon as I like it on the tart side. Pour on top of the base and return to the fridge to set up. • Compote: In a medium-sized saucepan, on medium heat, put the berry of choice in, (they can be fresh or frozen) add sugar and water, let simmer until it thickens. I like to leave it with bits of berries, but if you want you can put the mixture through a sieve to remove any seeds and lumps. Allow to cool before putting on the cheesecake. I like to do this once I’ve removed the ring and base, so it gets the chance to drip down the sides of the cake.

INGREDIENTS BASE 1 packet of sweet biscuits (Krispie or Round Wines are my go to) 100g melted butter TOPPING 2 packets Philadelphia Cream Cheese (softened) 1 medium lemon (juiced) 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 can of Condensed milk

COMPOTE 2 cups of berries 1/3–1/2 a cup sugar (depending on how tart the berries are) 1/3 cup water
