With limited international holiday options, I guess more and more New Zealanders will be looking for that traditional Kiwi holiday in a holiday park,” said the HPNZ chief in an interview with Radio New Zealand. The Kaipara District Council’s parks manager, Jim Sephton agrees, saying: “Campgrounds are a great Kiwi summer getaway. At Taharoa/Kai Iwi, we’re finding bookings are selling out earlier and earlier, and within a week of opening we can book right through to the end of January. “Kaipara is home to many campgrounds that offer a classic ‘Kiwi summer’ experience, no shops, small patches of cellphone reception, coupled with relaxing summer days swimming, fishing and enjoying the sunshine.” Meanwhile, this optimism has already created a demand for employment in the Kaipara, as the district’s council advertises for a large crew of staff for Kai Iwi Lakes, a summer camping hot spot. With demand looking to surge, they have put out the call for cleaning staff, night shift workers, administrators and ‘lakes ambassadors’ to form the infrastructure team for a small ‘city of tents’ on the lakeshore. ¢

Now predictions point to a bumper summer for Northland, an accessible and sunny destination on the doorstep of half our population. Last week on his flying visit to Dargaville, Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters made mention of the $11 billion a year that New Zealanders spend on foreign tourism, and how this sum was there for the taking by local hospitality operators. Organisations like Northland Inc, our regional promotions advocates, agree. It stated that internal tourism is up and looking to boost higher at a tourism and hospitality industry meeting in Dargaville back in mid-September. Its Northland travel guide provides a roadmap to entice people to explore the region in-depth northlandnz.com/visit/plan-your-trip/ visitor-guide. Meanwhile, other key indicators are coming online, suggesting that a bumper summer of local tourism is on the way. One such ‘flag’ is bookings at holiday parks, which are already beginning to fill up, according to Holiday Parks New Zealand’s head Fergus Brown. “We’re expecting this coming summer to be busier than previous.

Minister attacks council wharf stance u by Paul Campbell

The decision by Northland Regional Council to oppose resource consent for the proposed Mangawhai wharf restoration because of fairy tern concerns has been strongly criticised by Regional Development Minister, Shane Jones. He says “bureaucratic cowardice” is threatening jobs and investment in the community. The wharf project is coordinated by the Mangawhai Harbour Restoration Society to rebuild the 1880s structure that was demolished in the 1950s. The project was given $600,000 from the government’s Provincial Growth Fund and announced by the minister earlier this year. The NRC has opposed resource consent on the grounds that the safety of endangered fairy terns was not addressed in submissions. Regulatory services manager, Colin Dall, said the applicant had not demonstrated that fairy terns, which nest at Mangawhai, would not be affected. That did not meet policies already in place that require “the avoidance of adverse effects on the New Zealand fairy tern, which is a critically endangered species,” Mr Dall said. Mr Jones has hit out at the NRC position. “It beggars belief that during one of the worst economic crises in living memory, the council has opposed resource consent for a project that will inject huge amounts of money

into the Mangawhai community, create large numbers of sustainable jobs and a lasting piece of infrastructure that will draw visitors from far and wide,” he said. “This is bureaucratic cowardice at its worst. Refusing to sign off on a wharf, which replaces the former structure that had stood since the 1880s, in front of a busy pub at a waterfront where people have gone about their business for more than a century. All on account of a pair of fairy terns which may, or may not, according to the council’s expert, be bothered by marine activity. “Fairy terns have been politicised to such a degree that the council is ready to junk a shovel-ready project, which is overwhelmingly supported by the community and manawhenua. “The only thing critically endangered here are jobs and the economy, and the only birds I can see are called chickens.” The NRC notes that the hearing has not yet been closed. “Planners are still to complete expert conferencing. Hopefully, the hearing will then be closed and 15 working days (elapse) until a decision is due.” ¢

Deciding your own story’s end — referendum u by Andy Bryenton

In what is a decision involving the hardest of choices and the most difficult of moral and ethical conundrums, Kiwi voters are being asked to choose this election whether or not they assist a new bill on ‘end of life choice’ or ‘assisted dying’. A bill which has already been read in parliament sets out the parameters for what proponents say will be humane and robust legislation to allow individuals the right (in certain circumstances) to choose voluntar y death rather than suffering. The End of Life Choice Act 2019, which would come into force as law 12 months after the election, should the referendum on its adoption pass, has many clauses which restrict the use of assisted dying to those in a terminal medical situation who otherwise face the inevitability of either extreme pain or the necessity for mind-altering painkilling drugs.

Under the act, to be able to ask for assisted dying, a person must meet all the following criteria. They must: be aged 18 years or over, be a citizen or permanent resident of New Zealand, suffer from a terminal illness that’s likely to end their life within 6 months, have a significant and ongoing decline in physical capability, experience unbearable suffering that cannot be eased, and be able to make an informed decision about assisted dying. A person would not be eligible to ask for assisted dying if the only reason they give is that they are suffering from a mental disorder or mental illness,

parameters to qualify may be shifted to allow a wider number of people to choose death when medicine or counselling might conceivably cure their symptoms.

or have a disability of any kind, or are of advanced age. Their doctor and a second doctor must agree, and if in doubt, a psychiatrist must also be consulted. Advocates of the bill say that allowing a person to suffer against their will is immoral, as is forcing a terminally ill patient to extend their life at the cost of their mental faculties, as is sometimes the case when powerful drugs are needed to block pain signals. Those opposed to the bill counter that the aged, vulnerable, clinically depressed and other ‘unwanted’ members of society may be pressured into assisted dying for spurious reasons, or that the

Rolling out roading initiative

u by Andy Bryenton

The coming of spring weather has heralded the start of a big push by the Kaipara District Council to improve, maintain and safeguard roadways across the region, with multiple teams hitting the blacktop to prepare for a busy summer of tourist drivers. Visible signs of this uptick in road works spanned the region recently, from the work to complete Matakohe West Road, left unsealed after Coronavirus lockdown stopped progress earlier this year, all the way across to grading and patching Cove Road in Mangawhai, where the graders and water trucks were rolling last week. This is just the beginning of a large list of works planned for the region, thanks in part to a major windfall from the Provincial Growth Fund. At the time of its announcement, the minister in charge of such disbursements, Shane Jones said: “We’re investing $5 million to accelerate a programme of work to improve prioritised unsealed roads in Kaipara and make them safer. This work will include road widening, corner smoothing, improving bus pullover areas and new signage, as well as drainage and pavement improvements.” Pouto Road will be sealed to the end of the peninsula as part of this initiative, but there’s more to maintaining local arterials than simply laying chip and asphalt. That’s

why a large team of workers were out this week along Baylys Coast Road, Parore West Road, Waihue Road and Tangowahine Valley Road, removing rubbish, pruning back overgrowth and installing barriers and signage. “We’ve used funding under the Te Tai Tokerau Redeployment Package to complete some exciting roadside projects recently. “The funding package, through the Provincial Growth Fund, is providing urgent economic relief for those affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, by creating immediate work opportunities for local people,” says the KDC’s roading department. “Our team is also working on other roadside improvements, such as dangerous tree removal, self-seeded tree removal, noxious weed spraying, sight rail improvements in selected areas, as well as a new footpath in Matakohe.” The response to this package of job-creating and subsequent added road safety and beautification on social media has been overwhelmingly positive, with comments from local residents showing full support while

Sunshine and salads u by Liz Clark

October is the time when the soil temperatures have warmed up, and the seed packets opened in anticipation of a summertime bounty. With longer days, there is more time to get out and start planting the vegetables. If you’re anything like me, starting seeds in punnets or 5cm pots indoors means earlier planting and harvest. Alternatively, a visit to the local nursery or supermarket allows the obtaining of ready-to-plant welldeveloped seedlings for an instant garden. To maintain a healthy garden for your vegetables, the most essential ingredient of all is the condition of your soil. Healthy soil, in turn, will feed your vegetable plants and give them the growing medium required to retain vigour. Add in plenty of compost, well-rotted animal manure, old hay and other organic materials to create the environment needed for plants’ root systems to establish and gain nutrients needed for growth and development. Robust plants mean fewer issues with insect pests and diseases. Mulching will also help moisture loss in the soil; water your plants when the top 10cm in the soil layer becomes dry. Companion planting using flowers, herbs and other vegetables can help to deter insect pests or enhance growth. Charts are available online, which provide easy-to-follow planting guidelines for successful companion planting.

With the warmer weather, salads will be a mainstay of the main meal of the day. Nothing tastes better than a salad made from vegetables grown in your garden. Of course, it needs to start with the humble lettuce. There are many varieties to choose from. Many gardeners now favour the loose leaf cultivars for their fast maturity and ease of picking. Available cultivars include Apache, Coastline, Cocarde, Lollo Rosa and Marcella. Tomatoes are another fixture in the garden demanding consideration. The heirloom varieties come in all shapes and sizes, as well as fruit shades. Try out the Black Cherry, a deep red, almost black cherry tomato. A prolific producer, it will keep the salads well supplied until late autumn. Also add in Brandywine, Indigo Rose, Oxheart and Roma. With so many vegetables to choose from, we’ll be covering more in next week’s edition of The Weekend Lifestyler. If you’re stuck for a quick salad idea, try out a carrot, coconut and sultana salad. Grate up peeled carrots, add in half a cup of desiccated coconut, half a cup of sultanas and a cup of grated cheese. Mix it together and garnish with cherry tomatoes. It’s delicious and great for a last-minute addition to any meal. ¢

Lifeguards highlight beach danger u by Paul Campbell

Mangawhai lifeguards are expecting a busy summer and are initially warning beachgoers to avoid the south end of the beach, after rescuing two 10-year-old girls from an inshore-hole last Sunday.

p Members of Mangawhai and Waipu lifeguards emergency squads were training together when called to rescue two teenagers

The leader of the Mangawhai Heads Emergency Callout Squad, Jess Costello, says they had just finished a joint training session with Waipu Cove Surf Club when the girls got into trouble just before 4pm. “Sunday was all about ensuring the Mangawhai and Waipu squads are rescue-ready as we head into the summer and it’s pretty crazy that was put to the test on the same day!” she said. “The dangerous hole opens up near the shore as the tide goes out and can easily pull in children and those who aren’t confident swimmers.” Two local surfers helped keep the girls afloat while Costello paddled out on a rescue board. She pulled one on to the board and with the assistance of one of the surfers, got both back to shore where their waiting family were very thankful. “The hole is quite deceptive

because it looks like a calm patch of water, so people think it’s safe to swim there, when in fact it’s the opposite,” she says. “If people do get caught in a hole or a rip, they need to relax, float on the back and raise their hand to signal for help.” Costello says calling 111 and asking police for the lifeguards is the best thing to do if you see someone in trouble in the water. It’s the second rescue for lifesavers at Mangawhai Heads recently, after rescuing four fishers off the rocks on August 22, while lifeguards also saved the life of a kayaker recently, after their kayak started to sink 1.5km off the Waipu River Mouth. Husband and wife team, Kath and Tim Manning crewed an inflatable rescue boat (IRB) to carry out the rescue and say the kayaker’s lifejacket saved his life. ¢

p Hope Moorhead uses various locations around the Dargaville and Kaipara area including Baylys Beach for capturing photographs of her clients

From hobby to profession u by Ann van Engelen

Hope Moorhead was given a pocket-sized camera when she was an eight-year-old, and 10 years later she has turned her childhood hobby into her career. “My aunt gave me a little pocket camera when I was young, and I loved taking photos of people, animals and nature,” says Hope. “I was homeschooled, and photography became a real hobby. I would hang out with friends who took photography at school, and we would play with our cameras. Eventually, I purchased a professional camera and decided to get more training. “Being homeschooled, I was always reasonably motivated and would get up early and finish my schoolwork by 10am. I would then go out and ride my horse, help dad on the farm and play with my camera. “Mum was able to work with my curriculum and change it to what I enjoyed and tie it all in. I got a lot of work experience this way and gained

extra life experience. I always felt I had an advantage and could wrap my studies around what I did on the farm. “In recent years, I was helping my mum run her cafe Taste and See in

Dargaville. I am naturally shy. Working in the cafe meant I had to interact and build relationships with people I wouldn’t have necessarily met. It built my confidence in speaking to people.

“We have given up the cafe now and are running lifestyle programmes to help people change their eating habits. We teach them the health benefits of having at least a few plant-based only meals a week. I really enjoy that too. People don’t realise when you eat plant-based you have such better mind clarity and feel so much healthier in general. “We also run the Taste and See NZ Facebook page to help people to have better lifestyles. We share photos of our meals so people can see how nice they are. Throughout the Covid lockdown, I managed to get photography practise in and have now started my business Malika Photography.” Hope did some online courses, read books on the subject and utilised YouTube to broaden her knowledge

THE WEEKEND LIFESTYLER OctOber 9 2020

p Gaining experience as time goes on, Hope has several photographer friends that she gets guidance from to expand her industry knowledge

“

At the moment, I am enjoying taking portrait photos for people, and have also started doing maternity and newborn shoots

and skills. I send photos to a couple of professionals I know around the country for critiquing and ideas on my photo layout. I have a lot of support from people all over the show who I can get advice from. My sister is 10 years older than me and did photography as a hobby. When my aunt gave me my own camera, as a very outdoorsy person, it opened up a whole new world to me. “I am only 18 years old, but my friends who played around with photography at school helped spark my interest. I love animals and riding horses. So I would take my camera everywhere with me even though it was just pocket-sized and I took random photos of flowers, pets, trees, and horses. From there, I have expanded my topic interests.

”

“When I was young, I was involved in Pony Club, and I now go out and take photos specifically for one rider at a time. At the moment, I am enjoying taking portrait photos for people, and have also started doing maternity and newborn shoots. I think these create a nice memory to keep for the baby. I encourage people to get newborn, sixmonth and one-year-old photos to show all the growing stages.” Hope uses local beaches, the family farm and the town centre as locations for taking photos of her clients. “I believe in searching online for tips and ideas and figure out how to do stuff that I like for myself. I really love the beach and think it is a beautiful place to create memories. I have my home set up for indoor photos because I can work with the lighting there.

“I try to draw on the subject’s character, and it is the same with animals. I don’t particularly like clinical shots. I like to be in their natural environment doing their thing to capture the moments, especially animals. “Going to Baylys Beach is special as there is the walk around the cliffs with a couple of picturesque spots. For me, I love seeing the big waves, cliffs and the view of miles of west coast beach. I love the ruggedness, and you can get very creative. For me, Ripiro Beach is like my second home. “We can’t turn the clock back and having photos is really valuable for people because they capture moments in time that can’t be repeated. Once you have the digital copy, you can print off as many as you like and order them for grandparents and family members

for Christmas or birthdays. To me, that is really important, to be able to share your memories or create memories for others. “I try not to over-edit my pictures and keep things as natural as possible. I like to keep pictures as raw and as real as I can. I can photograph family pets, teenagers in all environments, families and do senior high school graduation shoots. “We have a lot of beautiful places around Dargaville township including the river, the beaches, Harding Park, the old buildings and the rotunda. They all make stunning backdrops for creating lifelong memories. “Kaipara is a stunning place to live, and I am looking forward to gaining more experience over time and helping people.” ¢

BE WELL

Boost your health three easy ways u by Andy Bryenton

Feeling good and living a healthy lifestyle need not involve intensive exercise, radical diets or massive disruption to your daily schedule. In great news for busy people, doctors studying the body’s chemical balance have discovered that simple things can have big effects. First off, sunlight. Summer’s here, and while protection from UV rays is always advised, getting outdoors in the sunshine can certainly help boost both your mood, and long term strength for your bones. Sunlight activates cholesterol in your skin, allowing the synthesis of vitamin D. This rare vitamin is found in only a few foods,

Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorous, for healthier bones, and also fights seasonal depression. The second day-to-day activity with big rewards is walking.

that light aerobic exercise like a brisk walk begins to produce a range of positive chemicals after just half an hour. That’s not much of a hike for a big boost. The chemicals released include serotonin, which improves your mood and guarantees better sleep, as well as tryptophan, used by the brain to make more serotonin after exercise. The ‘reward’ chemical dopamine is also produced, leading to a feeling of contentment after completing even this very light form of exercise. While more dopamine can be gained out of a hard-core workout, such as weight lifting or a vigorous swim, serotonin levels are similar. Finally, it seems that a good night’s sleep is far more important than we may have imagined. Those who sleep less have higher levels of ghrelin and cortisol,

hormones, which produce feelings of hunger and stress, respectively. Thus, those who get a good night’s rest are less hungry, put on less weight, and may even experience heightened levels of leptin, an appetite-suppressing chemical. For those dieting, it’s also interesting to note that the centre of the brain responsible for self-control and long-term planning, the frontal lobe, requires the biggest ‘recharge’ each night. To sleep better, researchers suggest blocking all light from your bedroom, eliminating noise, and for some, the use of lightly weighted blankets. So, there you have it. You can lose weight by sleeping, feel more positive by taking a short walk and build healthy bones with a little sunshine. Good health starts with the little things this summer. ¢

A tradition of good health

BE WELL

When William Rawleigh was nine years old, he wanted to earn a little pocket money. Rather than mowing lawns or delivering newspapers, the young entrepreneur used his knowledge of chemistry to create fine black ink, which he sold to his schoolmates and businesspeople about town.

He travelled to farms in the Midwest United States

honest and his prices reasonable. It didn’t take long for the idea of the ‘Rawleigh’s Man’ to cross the sea to another country with far-flung farming settlements; New Zealand. We embraced the concept of a visit from the door-to-door emporium of remedies and useful flavours for the kitchen, to the extent that many Kiwis are surprised to learn that William, himself, wasn’t born and raised here. Just how deeply ingrained the brand is in the national psyche can be seen from the fact that most Kiwis will immediately recognise the designs of Rawleigh’s two most famous tins, those for his antiseptic salve and medicated ointment. Originals of these tins and other

It was the start of something big. A knowledge of bottling and preparing all manner of valuable substances made Rawleigh a popular figure in the late 1800s. He travelled to farms in the Midwest United States, bringing with him ‘a little bit of civilisation’. In this era before the car, the sight of William and his horse, Bill, with their wagon in tow was a welcome sight to rural folk. They desired his linaments and medicines to deal with aches and pains, his herbs and spices for the kitchen, and his extracts like peppermint and vanilla for home baking. Even better, in an era of ‘snake oil’ salesmen hawking false remedies off of a wagon’s back, Rawleigh’s remedies worked, his products were

p The crowd posed for the camera when the Hakaru Co-operative Dairy Company factory commenced operations in 1902. It was closed in 1934

Not a matter of chalk, it’s cheese u by Liz Clark

Back in the early part of the 20th century, dairy factories were springing up across the Kaipara District; two relics of the dairying past remain at Hakaru and Ruawai. Driving on the Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Road towards Hakaru, an old building sited in a paddock barely gets a second glance. Once, it had been the centre of the dairying industry for Mangawhai and the surrounding area. It had a quiet beginning. Tenders were advertised by prominent Aucklandbased architectural partnership Mitchell and Watt in June 1902. In December of the same year, the Hakaru Co-operative Dairy Company

began operations.In its second year of production, the co-operative won the butter section at the Auckland Provincial Agricultural show. In 1904, it was reported the factory was to restart operations for the season. However, the report noted: ‘Several of the largest shareholders live in this district, but they find that the distance is too far for them to supply milk.’ In 1907, the factory had its best season since production began.

chairman reported, however, that the debt remaining for the building of the factory needed to be ‘given serious consideration’, due to several suppliers giving up dairying. During the first world war, production continued to increase, while the fortunes of the co-operative rose and fell, the site had provided tennis courts for residents and workers. The factory and cooperative remained in operation until 1934, when it amalgamated with the Port Albert Cooperative Dairy Company. A new factory was built at Te Hana, in the same year under the new Albertland Co-operative Dairy Company. On State Highway 12 heading west towards Ruawai township is the concrete ruin of the first Ruawai Cooperative Dairy Company building. Designed by Hawera-based architect

John Duffill, the cheese factory opened its doors on July 1, 1915. By October of the same year, significant quantities of cheese were being produced for the New Zealand and overseas markets. In 1925, a factory employee, D Hook, got caught up in a pulley belt and sustained serious injuries. He later died as a result of the accident. In the same year, the dairy company proposed to set up a new factory at Naumai producing butter and cheese to expand the output. In 1926 it was reported the factory had 123 suppliers milking 5,000 cows and an output of 450 tons of cheese and butter for the season. Production on the site continued until 1955 when operations were moved to the new factory site in Ruawai township. The dairy company closed for good in 1974. ¢

p Maurice and Lesley sell a variety of flower plants as well as vegetables at More or Less in Dargaville

p Lesley says now is the time to be preparing your garden and planting your summer vegetables

Encouraging family gardens u by Ann van Engelen

Lesley and Maurice Adams began their nursery seedling business four years ago as a way to help people in the community source the plants they need for their vegetable garden. “We are hobby gardeners and felt there was a niche market to supply people with the amount of seedlings they want,” says Lesley. “We started More or Less and you can buy as little as one cell or multiple punnets of seedlings. We want to help families grow fresh, homegrown vegetables and flowers. We are at 5474 State Highway 14, opposite the field days site in Dargaville, so we are handy for lots of people. “It is so exciting to know that you tilled the soil, planted and nurtured the plants until they are ready for harvest. It is great for children to gain an understanding of where food comes from. “Some people only want one or two plants, so we created punnets with things like two broccoli, two cabbage and two cauliflower. We recommend sprouting broccoli and pick as they grow lettuce if you want a constant

supply of fresh vegetables. Right now is the time to plant your summer choices like tomatoes, cucumber, beans, beetroot and lettuce. We have around 70 different varieties of seedling ready for small or large-scale gardeners. A nice idea for grandparents in a small home is vegetables in a pot plant like the lettuce combos that you pick as required. “We have a small range of flowers like marigolds, cornflowers and pansies. “Marigolds are known as a good companion plant for vegetables because they attract the bugs to themselves, not the vegetables.” Maurice and Lesley are happy to help people new to gardening gain knowledge. “We enjoy helping people choose what they need. Our prices of $3 a punnet mean you can get a good variety, inexpensively. We have 20

varieties of tomato to choose from such as beef steak, cherry and black. People love beef steak because of the size and flavour. “We enjoy guiding people along the way because customers, to us, are everything. It is really interesting the different people we meet with various lifestyles and careers, yet gardening is something everyone can do. “We sold the Bug Man, Ruud Kleinpaste, some plants at the Paparoa markets once. It was wonderful to meet him. You don’t need a lot to have a decent garden. It is just a matter of

having land, buckets, pots or you can have a slim, long, raised garden bed. “The art of gardening comes down to imagination and what you can cope with. It really isn’t as hard as people think. It can take just 10 minutes a day once you are established. In a drought, we use our washing machine or shower water on our plants as they take what they need and leave the rest. “The best advantage is you have the freshest homegrown products you can get, and they are a lot tastier, and you know where they come from. It is very satisfying and brings people so much joy, and that is what it is all about.” ¢

It is so exciting to know that you tilled the soil
