New Look Playground for Maungaturoto

Trick skates and spring rockers will soon sit alongside the more traditional swings and climbing frames in the ‘new look’ playground in Hurndall Street, Maungaturoto. Months of planning have finally paid off as work gets underway on the redevelopment. The project is a joint effort between Kaipara District Council and the community with funds for the new play equipment coming from an ASB Trust grant.

Kaipara District Council Reserves Coordina-tor, Stephen Soole, “We have a large contin-gent of volunteers involved in one way or an-other – donating time, equipment or materi-als. While Council staff will oversee the pro-ject, the community have organised working bees to do most of the preparatory work.”

The redeveloped playground will be larger than the current area as it will include an ad-joining parcel of land donated by the owners of a neighbouring property. “The increased size of the area means we can have separate play areas for young and older children as well as picnic and seating areas.”

It is hoped that the new equipment will be installed in late November in time for a De-cember opening.

Councillor Graham Taylor, “It’s great to see the community pulling together to achieve something they can be proud of. Real Town Maungaturoto have been involved in this pro-ject right from the outset and have been coor-dinating the community’s involvement.”

MAUNGATUROTO CHRISTMAS PARADE UPDATE

It is interesting at the response I have had from my last report in the Matters. Many people have asked “are you a little bit upset/angry?”, well I am not an-gry as much as I am disappointed, I was hoping a few more people might put their hand up, but a huge thanks to those few who have, it’s great to have some new faces involved. Now down to business. The parade is on Saturday the 9th of December, the parade will be going through town at 6.00pm after the grand opening of our new park. The parade will then finish at the Country Club where we will be having the community concert again. One change to the day is that we will be holding the market area down at the Country Club in the evening on the rugby field, we are hoping to have organised activi-ties for all the family to participate in as well as great entertainment. We are in the process of organising these events so if you have a talent to show case, a stall to run , a float to enter or you just want to help on the day just give me a call. Come on Maungaturoto get involved, it’s your town; let’s show the world how great we can be!!!!!! Terri Donaldson 4318 599

Get to know . . . Dennise Brownlie

Will the real Dennise Brownlie please stand up! Talented actress and Otamatea Repertory Theatre’s president Dennise plays various roles both on stage and in her every-day life. She was a stroppy old dame in OTR’s The Geriat-rics, then Big Lil in Murder in the Music Hall. She was such an outstanding mad chook in Chook, Chook that a new award - The Best Actress in a Comedy Award - was created for her at last year’s Norfolk Island Theatre Festival. Chook, Chook placed third equal with ORT’s other play, A Dog’s Life in the festival that attracted 12 theatre groups from New Zea-land and Australia. In her day job at The Kauri Museum where she catalogues donated items she dresses in a corporate outfit that features a stylish merino and possum cardigan. On open days Dennise sports shabby, grubby pioneer gum digger garb. It was the outfit she favoured when the Prime Minister opened the boarding house. Dennise loves her work at the Kauri Mu-seum as she’s fascinated by history – including her own. Her stonemason grandfather, five greats back, helped build Kerikeri’s stone store and she’s a member of the Edmonds family from the Bay of Islands. Dennise has been at the Kauri Museum for four years. Before than she had a colourful career - she gave up dental nursing after just seven months and has been a kumara picker, a cleaner, an office worker and more. She’s also an artist who was discouraged from going to Elam Art School because only hippies went there. She married Robert, a school teacher, and had two daugh-ters, Amber and Topaz. When Robert got a job at Matakohe School in 1982 they liked the place and the people and made it home. Dennise re-turned to painting when some local women started the Hu-katere Art Group, and discovered a talent for realistic bush paintings. “I have a feel for the bush thanks to my parents who always used to take us to the bush and point out all the different trees.” For a while she had a gallery at Matakohe and a few years ago she spent 200 hours over three months painting a 15m mural at The Kauri Museum. At about the time Dennise returned to art she went to an OTR performance in Maungaturoto and thought “what a magnifi-cent place – out in the middle of nowhere”. She helped backstage in Aladdin. Her first major role was Queenie in Showboat performed at Forum North. She was encouraged by schoolboy Hayden Tee who today has an act-ing career overseas. ORT puts on about four performances a year - the Christmas pantomime is coming up - and holds workshops for youth. Dennise also directs and, as the ORT president, is involved in a project to renovate the theatre. She has a natural flair for comedy. “I’ve always been outgoing and boisterous and out there,” says Dennise who attributes some of those qualities to being a middle child who had to fight to get noticed. “My first teacher told me I was her little bulldozer.” “I can ad lib and give cheek,” she says. “I think people look forward to seeing what I’m going to do next and so do my family.”

The pruned areas are recovering and filling out and with the trunks cleared they are shaping up well. We have started to repair the frames that have broken over the years and replace damaged wire netting. This will continue over the summer months along with clearing the ground in the cages of weeds and grass. Some trees that have died or been damaged will be replaced next Autumn. Fur-ther pruning and shaping will be carried out so that the trees form a clean uniform avenue into town. Working bees will be carried out whenever possi-ble (not necessary in the weekends ). If anyone wishes to assist in the work please give your name to any of the committee. You will certainly be asked to help. Those on the committee are: Dave Orford, John Albert, Eileen Parsons, Norman Dale, Alan Flower, Paddy Thornton, Vern Powell and Tom Clark

From the Editor’s Desk Can’t believe that the next edition is the Christmas one. Which brings me to remind everyone although I always put the close off date on page 2, it’s amazing how many people will ring me around the 26th of each month and ask ‘are they too late!!!!!’. So close off date for everything for the De-cember issue is MONDAY 20TH NOVEM-BER, anything received after that WILL NOT go into the December issue — no exceptions. Churches and local organisations who want special dates put in the Matters please ensure that everything gets to me by that date. Last month I advised that Susan McRae had taken over as the Secretary of the Business Association—True! But wrongly I assumed that she would also take over all duties includ-ing billing for the Matters as Gale did when she took over the secretarial ship —Wrong!!!. Gale Albert. Is still looking after the billing for the Matters. Sorry Susan, sorry Gale!! He has kept us all amused with the amazing stories of his ‘Country Critters’ in the Matters and now our very own Worzel (Chris Sellers) is launching his own novel called 'The Investi-gation' a tale about intergalactic investigator Grovan Yorg .. This special launch will take place on Friday 3rd November at the Country Club approxi-mately 6.00pm. Go along and met our very talent ‘teller of tales’

Homebuilders Community HouseHomebuilders Community HouseHomebuilders Community HouseHomebuilders Community House November already and Christmas just around the corner. We are winding down at the moment with our last two workshops coming to a close this month. It has been a very busy year with workshops covering all sorts of issues and we have good feedback from those that participated, that they got a lot out of them. We have achieved many things this year and added a few new initiatives to help bring to our community some new services that will give practical help and support to those that need it. We do have some exciting new workshops planned for next year and are at present trying to get these organized for our 2007 year, more news on those to come…

The newest one this year, is of course our literacy /tutoring assistance. This is of great help to those people out there that are struggling to read, write or just simply understand. An example of how difficult it is to understand our language is simply to look at how many different ways we spell the same word, how many meanings/uses it can have and all of them pronounced the same. Such as; two, to and too and there and their, hours and ours etc. I could go on all day with this. English is one of the hardest languages to learn so it is not hard to figure why our children are having a hard time with it at school and then there are mobile phones, its just about impossible to understand what some txt messages mean unless you are used to it and able to translate. If you have a need for this for yourself or for your kids please give us a call and we will

help. .ph Robert on 09 4319080.

Our next Good Old Days Luncheon is happening on the 6th November 11am usual place…Homebuilders community House and we will have news of our

Special Christmas lunch to tell you about. This time of the year brings about the need to call for more donations towards our food bank. As you know we have been helping many families along during the tougher times in their lives and Christmas is always one of them. Donations are always happily accepted and we would be delighted to receive any items you might like to give. That’s about all I have for this column as I said we are winding down and thinking now towards Christmas hols and family visits and picnics in the sun with the kids…we hope. So take care as always and remember we are here for whenever you may need us. Enjoy November. My regards Maureen Davis

Coast to Coast Health Care. Coast to Coast Health Care, providers of Primary Health services including General Practice from Snells Beach, Matakana, Wellsford, Mangawhai, Maunga-turoto and Paparoa and their districts, in association with “Coast to Coast Primary Health Organization” are pleased to announce that as of October 1st 2006 they have been able to reduce their maximum fee for a stan-dard consultation for Enrolled and subsidized adults to $15.00, and for children aged 6- 18year old to $10.00. Children under the age of 6 years will remain free. CTCHC are able to do so due to extra funding an-nounced by the Minister of Health for low cost access funded P.H.O’s in order to address the issue of cost as a barrier to health care. This fee reduction will also apply to the Snells Beach (Kowhai Surgery) and Matakana clinics, except for the unsubsidized age band of 25-44 year olds until July 07 when they will also be included. “This represents a further opportunity for us to bring even more affordable quality General Practice services to the people of our district.” says Dr Tim Malloy, spokesperson for Coast to Coast Health Care. “We know the difficulties that cost represents to many of our people when deciding whether to access health care. With this opportunity through increased state sub-sidy we were keen to see this implemented locally through our PHO “said the Coast to Coast PHO Chair-man Mr. John Marsden. In an effort to address other access issues Coast to Coast Health Cares’s recent opening of a further clinic at 74 Matakana Valley Rd has been very well supported by the community. Matakana people and others form the region have been complimentary in Coast to Coast Health Cares efforts to bring their services to people with a steady stream of new enrolments. Local people have also been very complimentary about Dr’s Michael Evans , Anne Scott, Francesco Len-tini and Chris Miller who have provided services to the clinic at times and are themselves also “ locals “ to the district, a long with receptionist Jacquie Ruck, a long time Pakiri local, and of course the Practice nurse’s. CTCHC has found this clinic has been well supported by the Kowhai Coast Medical Center at Snells Beach and new enrollees have been please with the 24 hour support available relatively nearby at the Wellsford Medical Center – where there is a GP available on call after hours and on weekends for urgent medical care or advice. It is hoped that further support for the Matakana clinic will see its hours extended into the afternoons, and its range of services expanded.

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE MAUNGATUROTO

St. John Area Committee & Division wish to thank all who helped with Trash & Treasure this year and to those who donated goods for our Sale & Auction. You will be surprised at our total of over $10,000. The money made will make a big help keeping our Ambulance service here and in Kaiwaka, with the very best of equipment training for our volunteers. Also we have a First Aid Vehicle of which we are responsible for. This unit has been a big help at sports and galas. You may be wonder where we got it from. It was an ambulance we bought for Kai-waka First Response. When Kaiwaka were given a new ambulance, we managed to get it back for use in our area. We continue to help our very hard working Volun-teers with Uniforms, training or anything they re-quire. The week of Trash and Treasure saw ambulance people from everywhere helping, some who had been out on duty at night and day. They are worth a gold medal for this, Thank you all. Saturday saw us at an auction our first! A lot of fun for all even bidding against each other. Thank you all Maude Christie


THE ROTARY CLUB OF MAUNGATUROTO & DISTRICTS INCORPORATED

The club has been busy planning activities for the Rotary year. Looking back we marshalled one stage in the Rally of Whangarei on I July. The number of spectators was extremely disappointing and we were thankful that the weather was excellent. The almost complete absence of publicity was surprising espe-cially in view of the opening in Whangarei. We hosted one semi-final of the Whangarei speech contest. All speakers were excellent in their presentation and choosing a winner was a very difficult task for the judges. DOC and the Community Service Committee have met and DOC is going to improve the access to the Piroa Falls, particularly with regard to safety. Don McKay gave a run down of the past performance the Maungaturoto Community Charitable Trust with the Resthome, Medical Centre, the Village and the more recent building of eight units for purchase. All the units were sold by the time building was com-pleted. He also produced and explained plans for further development of the area in order to meet the needs of people who don’t wish to leave the district, as they grow older. We now pay respect to the service of the longest serving Rotarian in the world, Tom McKay of Dargaville. His life as a businessman, he is still active in his business, as member of the community and as a member of Rotary has been truly amazing. Sixty years service is a challenge to us all. Looking ahead we will be holding our Annual Senior Citizens Dinner on 28 November. We entertain eld-erly persons who do not get out very much, usually living alone. If you know of anyone in that category do not hesitate to contact any Rotarian. We are in the process of bagging “PigPost”. This PigPost is excellent fertiliser for the gardens and is avail-able now. We will deliver to your door. Anyone wishing to place orders for bags please contact Harold McCabe 431 4792 for Mangawhai; Les Kenworthy-Thompson 431 8035 or Alex Tetzner 431 8091 for Maungaturoto-Paparoa; Dan Mills 431 2130 for Kaiwaka; Norman Dalebrook 432 0788 for Waipu.

QUILTS OF COLOUR AT THE KAURI MUSEUM The 22nd Anniversary Exhibition of the Otamatea Quilters Group.

Hidden in the hills and valleys that surround the mighty Kaipara are a group of talented ladies known as the Otamatea Quilters Group and each year they emerge to display the exquisitely crafted quilts and patchwork that they have been working on throughout the year. For their 22nd anniversary they will again convert the Volunteers Hall at The Kauri Museum into a kaleido-scope of colour and form. Against the background of the massive kauri slab that runs through the centre of the hall the quilts are displayed in all their beauty. Other than in the cosiness of a family home it would be difficult to find a better setting for these works of art to be viewed. Even without long time prolific quilter Shirley Martin as a member of the Otamatea Quilters Group, some 70 works will be on display ranging from large traditional bed quilts to delicate wall hangings of antique Japanese silks. Imagination runs riot as the skilled ladies produce abstract patterns to traditional and New Zealand motifs. And although Shirley is no longer a resident of the district she has returned as “guest” quilter for this year’s exhibition. A special exhibition of Shirley’s work will be shown in the Boarding House within the museum which was opened by Prime Minister Helen Clark in August. The exhibition will run from October 17th to November 7th , during which time ladies of the group will be present and an array of quilting material, sewing machines and quilters’ equipment will be on sale.

An annual event at The Kauri Museum not to be missed.

MAUNGATUROTO GARDEN

CLUB

October 18th we met for a trip to Man-

gawhai, visiting Aileen and Ray Jones

garden in Old Waipu Road and Penrose

Farm in the same area.

A really good turn out of members were

welcomed by Aileen and we were able to

wander around this extensive garden. A

wonderful bank of plants looked down on

a stream where a series of ponds and

small waterfalls had been created. This

was planted with waterloving plants and

flowed down to the Estuary.

Our next garden of Malcolm and Joanna

Roberts, included talking to the donkeys

and looking around this very unique

home and interesting garden.

The next meeting November 15th, a local

trip to two gardens.

Meet 10.30am at the Ambulance Car Park

and bring lunch.

This interesting article was penned by writer Cliff Taylor, about the Sunday jazz sessions at the Sa-hara and the general livelihood in Paparoa. “The ghosts of Paparoa bank managers past might be turning in their graves this summer. Or at least tapping their toes. Paparoa's former Bank of New Zealand, now the Sahara res-taurant and bar, will be resonating to the sounds of live jazz for the next few months as the Sahara Summer Sessions jazz season gets into its swing. The first Sunday session was a huge success with more than 50 jazz lovers braving a fierce Spring storm to enjoy the mel-low sounds of the Joe Carbery Trio. Served up on a weekend which also saw a big crowd turn out for Paparoa's inaugural Wearable Arts festival it proved to Sahara's owners Nik Hendriksen and Fiona Stark that there is a real appetite for live music in the area. 'We were turning people away, despite the weather,' says Nik. 'It was a big weekend in Paparoa and the busy summer season hasn't really started yet. We're looking forward to lots of Sun-day sessions over the next few months.' Sahara recommends people should book ahead to be guaran-teed a seat, although, weather permitting, the band will be playing on the restaurant's newly extended back veranda

Sahara is also looking for other quality musicians to take part in the sessions throughout the summer."

FARM LIVING Chook with an Ego

Hallelujah! My chooks have achieved peak production. It’s a world first. For a thrilling week or so the number chooks and eggs matched: two chooks, two eggs. It may be good karma. I’d just decided to buy only free range eggs. Rex and I had jointly spent $1500 on eye tests and spectacles and, in an illogical leap, I figured anyone who spends that much on glasses should be considerate consumers on behalf of chooks. This egg milestone is a big deal. Five years ago we had seven chooks, but never seven eggs on a single day. Since then, all but Blackie, a robust Plymouth Barred Rock, have died. Last summer Whitey, a trembling neurotic chook who was too scared to leave the coop, joined her. It’s an understatement to say Whitey’s mental health has improved. I’ve found her resting by the fridge like it’s hers, she regularly trots through the kitchen and a distinctive ‘tap, tap, tap’ indicates she’s prospecting for crumbs. But her latest trick defied belief. At peak production time the pair was free range and laying in the coop - until a nest ap-peared under a lavender bush. I removed all but one egg but the next day it had been smashed and eaten by . . . something. I returned the girls to their coop, but overnight the irritating birds pulled the hay out of the nesting boxes. There was only one egg. I relined the boxes but they continually ripped apart my handiwork. Egg production tailed off. I didn’t know whether the hens were in a snit or their eggs were being eaten. Finally I lined only their favourite nesting box and normal transmission resumed. Then a pesky but mild-mannered bull who’d found a hole in a fence claimed the house pad-dock and, being clumsy, knocked the chook pen open. The girls fled. Ah well, I foolishly thought, I’ll let them roam even though the farmer gets fed up with them. While I pick up their doings on the terrace with bits of loo paper, this miniscule domestic task is far, far beyond him. But then one adopted Kate’s dog bed as a nest. It sits on one corner of our long firewood box. Okay, so it’s the colour of hay and has a comfy nest dent in the centre, but at almost a metre square, it’s way too big for a hen. After three days I’d had enough. As well as leaving eggs, the offending chook left a yicky wet spot – do hens’ waters break when they lay or what? We never caught the culprit in the act, but my money’s on Whitey. Kate’s bed would be ideal for a large, self-important bird - America’s national symbol the bald eagle would qualify on both counts, or a perfectly ordinary hen with no concept of the boundaries within which any self respecting chook should live - Whitey fits the bill.

Thanks to Rae for her contribution

OTAMATEA CALF AND LAMB DAY 2006 It was a typical spring day; rain clouds hung heavy above and threatened to burst. But as we stared a quick rain shower gave way to what was a fine afternoon. This year’s event saw an increase in entrants with 5 lambs and 14 calves. Only six of last years entrants returned so it was great to see 15 new faces. The judges Neil Donaldson, Neil Sidwell and Des Smeath had their work cut out for them as the quality of entrants was high and it was obvious that many hours of effort had gone into the rearing and caring of all animals. It was also great to see plenty of spectators watching. I would like to thank our sponsors, who as usual were very generous: The National Bank, Rd1, Agrisea, PCL feeds and Mgto Lions. Michael Kissick from the National Bank and Merilyn Banks from Lions presented the main awards and Rosemary Lynn from Lions presented our best name award. I would also like to thank the judges, parents, OHS, students and the wider community for all the support, it is great to have so much positive feedback, also a special thanks to Ann Shanks, Deanna Underwood and Ken Finlayson. Congrats to all the prize winners and to the champions. RESULTS
