Queen’s honour for Bet Nelleyu by Paul Campbell
Former chief executive officer of The Kauri Museum at Matakohe, Bet Nelley, was awarded a Queen’s Service Medal in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for services to history and tourism.
“I was absolutely gobsmacked, I really was. It was a huge surprise and it never, ever occurred to me that this might happen,” she said when the award was announced.
The citation noted Ms Nelley was CEO “of the iconic and award-winning Kauri Museum at Matakohe from 2008 until her retirement in 2014, having held various other positions with the museum since 1995.
“During Ms Nelley’s 19-year involvement she developed the museum into a leading resource centre for the development of the kauri timber and gum industries in New Zealand and a key tourist attraction for Matakohe. Through daily busloads of tourists the museum has remained financially stable without council support.
“She has played a key role in a project to research the history of kauri spanning thousands of years.
“She has contributed to the researching and recording of stories of those from the district who fought in the First World War, helping families discover more about their family members who never returned. Ms Nelley is a member of the Rotary Club of Maungaturoto and Districts and is a past president of the Club.”
Ms Nelley said she had told her son in Vancouver and daughter in London.
“They were thrilled and proud, as I knew they would be. Nothing like this has ever happened in our family. But I also know this award is for a team
p Betty Nelley looking at the letter from the Governor General notifying her of the QSM award
effort at the museum, recognition for the wonderful work of the volunteers and friends of the museum, and the great staff there.
“I also salute the work of those who went before me to create the museum. I just came afterwards and had a great deal of fun.” ¢

Happy Birthday Zonta

p The Kaiwaka volunteer firebrigade team completed the Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge, with retiree Mike Law committed to do it again a fifth time. Mike has a sick grandchild and motivated the team to compete. “It was a great day to do the challenge as it was cold and wet,” said team member Tim Brown. They climbed 51 flights of stairs or 1,103 individual steps. “We would like to thank everyone that helped us raise $2,731.10 for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand.”
Current president Jan Barnett, charter president Liz Holsted and the Governor of Zonta New Zealand Janet Hope helped celebrate Mangawhai Zonta Club’s fifth birthday with a party. In conjunction with Rural Women NZ and the Ministry of Social Development, Mangawhai Zonta’s next event will be an evening on ‘Supporting Safe Relationships’, held on June 24 at Otamatea High School from 7pm. Speaker Lesley Elliott will talk about the ‘Loves-me-not’ program running in schools which educates young people about healthy relationships.
p Northland Inc’s CEO David Wilson meets Dargaville business woman Margaret Bishop as general manager of business growth Joseph Stuart looks on. The economic development agency met with the Dargaville Business Forum, Kauri Coast Promotions Society and other interested members of the community to discuss how to promote the region as a vibrant place to visit and to live.

End of road for Te Kopuru bowlsu by Ayla Miller
It was the end of an era for Te Kopuru Bowling Club as they handed over their remaining funds to four western clubs, Dargaville, Mamaranui, Ruawai and Arapohue.
Te Kopuru president Brian Gribble said the experience has been a privilege. “I have enjoyed these years as president. It is very sad. There is a lot of history gone.”
The Te Kopuru Bowling Club closed their account after settling all expenses and presented a cheque of approximately $3,484 to each of the clubs.
The club rooms have been sold to the Northland Field Days association and items have been sold or donated to the community.
Long-term Te Kopuru member Betty Rope remembers joining in 1959, not long after women were allowed in. “It was always a happy club and at one stage it was the best bowling green in
the north.” The funds received will go towards maintenance for the greens and the club houses.
Mamaranui president James Nyssen said they may invest in some young stock to help with the maintenance costs and are glad to be gaining a few new members.
Mr Gribble said a special thanks to Te Kopuru treasurer Marie Birkenhead, in his farewell speech, for the extra work she has had to put in during the closing of the club.
“I hope you will all continue to keep in contact with each other over the years to come.
“Whether it be on the bowling green or in some other way.” ¢

Top award for Cartersu by Ann Morgan
After another successful year of trading, Dargaville Carters which originally opened in 1968, have won the Best Small Branch in New Zealand award at the Carters Awards which recognises and celebrates excellence.
Staff member Simon Parkinson was also nominated for the Continuous Improvement award.
Mark Kapa, branch manager, has been in the role for one year. Originating from Pouto, his experience includes owning his own house building company prior to having the opportunity to move into the management position with Carters building supplies.
“My staff are a hard working team and deserve this award, I couldn’t have walked into a better branch,” says Mark.
“They go above and beyond in customer service and are professional. Their experience and expertise certainly helps make this branch the
success it is. They are here before the gates open and after they close, that shows me their commitment to the workplace.”
Store services manager, Janice Williams has worked with the branch for more than 14 years, and says she enjoys the variety of the job, and working with the clients.
“We enjoy working alongside those in the building industry and we are always learning from the builders,” she said.
“Our branch staff culture is very friendly and supportive, not just in the workplace, but through life events. We plan to keep on track and keep going the extra mile for our customers.” ¢

Starring role for young songbirdKate Cotching has every reason to smile — she is playing the lead role of Alice in Otamatea Repertory Theatre’s major musical production, ‘Alice in Wonderland’.
Even though Kate has only just turned ten, she has already been in two major musicals for ORT. This is her first one with a starring role. A keen and gifted singer, Kate was runner-up at the Northland Performing Arts Festival in the junior section, in 2014.
Lewis Carroll’s children’s classic, ‘Alice in Wonderland’, turns 150 this year.
For a century and a half, it has delighted and puzzled us in equal measure. We have fallen down the rabbit hole with Alice, taken tea with her and the Mad Hatter, been maddened by the Cheshire Cat and had to convince the Queen of Hearts that we didn’t steal her tarts!
Alice in Wonderland was first published in 1865 and was inspired by a boat trip that author Rev. C L Dodgson, who wrote under the nom-de-plume of Lewis Carroll, took with some family friends, the Liddell children, down the River Thames in Oxford. He told the youngest daughter, Alice, a story as they rowed along and she begged him to write it down. When he got home that evening he began straight away.
The book, and its sequel have been translated into at least 65 languages, and countless film and theatre adaptations have been made, and it remains as enchanting as ever.
The ORT season of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ will run during the school holidays from July 4 to 19. All matinee
p Kate Cotching is delighted to be playing Alice in ORT’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’
performances will have an optional extra Mad Hatters’ Tea Party at the Country Club, which is next door to the theatre in Maungaturoto. Wear your own Mad Hat and be a part of the fun. There will be games and activities, jam tarts and other refreshments, before patrons follow the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole into the theatre in readiness for the show.
Tickets are on sale at www.ort.org.nz or at Tony’s Lotto Shop in Maungaturoto. ¢
Theatre to host competitionu by Ayla Miller
The town will be teeming with thespians come the end of July as Dargaville Little Theatre hosts the local TheatreFest competition for Northland.
p A nurse, played by Deborah Steele, comforts Eryn Wilson-Collins as Rose, in a scene from Dargaville Little Theatre’s TheatreFest 2014 entry, The Memoirs
The competition takes place on July 24 and 25 and is open to all theatre groups in the region.
Last year Dargaville Little Theatre performed The Memoirs, written by Deborah Steele, which took them to the Nationals in Wellington.
“The local competition was held at Otamatea Repertory Theatre. We had a different stage space, lighting and sound system to what we were used to which was interesting. It was a bit of a nail biting week because they don’t announce the winners immediately,” said member Eryn Wilson-Collins.
“It was a good experience because you get to meet other thespians and see other productions.
“We are looking forward to having a variety of acts for people to see. The shows are open to the public and we encourage anyone to come along. They will be really interesting evenings.
“Judges read the script and then speak to the audience and cast members after the performance to give feedback. It is all about learning.”
Contestants get the chance to write, perform or direct and receive in depth verbal and written critique. Each entry must have at least two people, be 15 minutes long and be part of Theatre New Zealand.
Those who make it through to the regional finals from the Upper North Island will perform in Te Kuiti. Finalists then travel to Hamilton to take part in the Nationals.
Dargaville Little Theatre is encouraging performers wanting to join them to audition on Sunday, June 4 from 4pm at the Little Theatre.

Growth at Tangowahineu by Ann Morgan
Tangowahine school elected a new board at the end of last year, bringing with them fresh ideas, with the view of developing and growing the students and the school as a body.
“The school has grown. At the beginning of last year we had just nine students, now we have 29, meaning we can hire another full time teacher on a permanent contract,” said principal Wayne Steele.
“With a staff of six, the school is moving forward. More people are relocating into the area who have realised there is a lot of stability at the school and we have a lot to offer the community.
“They have decided to bring their children to a rural school to let them enjoy the benefits, which they possibly wouldn’t get elsewhere.
“We have a low teacher to student ratio, enough technical devices for each child to use personally, and of course we are in a rural setting,” he said.
He says the students get to explore and experience different things. They build huts, climb trees, play rugby and have adventures out on the grounds.
“Our teachers are great and our pupils also enjoy inter school sports days, they take part in the Northern Wairoa cross country events, school trips and other activities that come up. They get the benefits everyone else gets at other schools and more.”

Back from GallipoliAfter fulfilling the “ambition of a lifetime” a group of Dargaville residents have returned from the 100th anniversary commemorations at Gallipoli and three weeks of travelling.
Pat Young, Grant, Jan and Caitlin Thomas, with Karen and Hannah Carter, joined more than 10,000 Australians and New Zealanders honour the Anzac troops who fought and fell at Gallipoi a century ago.
For Mrs Young, the journey fulfilled her declared life-long ambition to celebrate her father-in-law Ernie Young, who fought and lost his arm in the trenches.
Despite his war wound, Mr Young farmed at Waihue for many years, and also took up local body service. The Dargaville group won their places in the
pre-anniversary descendants ballot. A ‘tired but happy’ Mrs Young said the ceremonies she attended covered two days and included a seven kilometre walk, following in the footsteps of the New Zealand soldiers, which, despite being in her early 80s, Mrs Young was determined to complete. The rest of the time was spent exploring the country.
Mrs Young says the highlight of the trip was the New Zealand service at Chunuk Bair. “It affected me more than the dawn service because it was more personal.” ¢

Last year, New Zealand’s three Ronald McDonald Houses provided a home away from home to over 3,500 families with sick children and their National appeal day is Friday June 5.
Ruawai residents Adam Barlow and Eloise Barlow and their oldest son Israel are participating in the annual street appeal for the second year.
“We do it because we lost our son Elijah in February 2013 and it is a practical way we can honour his memory while still supporting and giving back to Ronald McDonald House — a place that we were very familiar with,” said Eloise.
The Barlow’s will have helpers collecting alongside them in Ruawai and the Primary School are holding a mufti day, with the college having one next term, to help contribute to the cause.
“Ronald McDonald Houses take care of the emotional, practical and financial needs of families so that they in turn are able to support their child through their medical journey.”

Northpower’s hidden little gem is situated at Titoki approximately 30km north west of Whangarei, purchased by Northpower in June 1993 from Golden Bay Cement.
With a water catchment area of approximately 559 sq kms and a history stretching back to 1903, makes Northpower’s hydroelectric power station unique in the history of hydroelectricity. In less than one and half years Wairua will have its 100th birthday.
Like all 99 and 70 year old machines, Wairua generators require attention. At present Northpower is in the process of performing comprehensive maintenance on two of its generators, one of 1916 vintage and one of 1940. These generators will be good for another 50 years or more.
The Wairua Power Station construction commenced in 1913 by the Dominion Portland Cement Company, later to become Wilsons (NZ) Portland Cement Company Limited in 1918. The station was completed and commissioned in September 1916.
In 1914, during construction, the engineers decided to make provision for four generators. In 1916 when the station was completed they had only installed two. The generator’s output was approximately 2mW. Another two generators have been installed, one in 1940 and the other by Northpower in 2007. Generators 1 and 2 were upgraded to 1.2mW in 1995 by Northpower and with the addition of the new generator in 2007, raised the output of Wairua. With G1, G2 and G3s output being 3.6mW and the additional 1.5mW from G4 the station now has an output on 5.1mW.
Wairua is what is termed as a “run of the river” power station. We can only generate with rain that falls in the catchment area which is Hikurangi, Puhipuhi and Glenbervie. This travels to station via the Wairua River. During the winter months there is sufficient water to keep the four generators running for around six months. During the summer months it’s the perfect opportunity for maintenance on the station complex that covers an area of approximately three kilometres.

Change of scene for nurseu by Ayla Miller
Nurse Jessica Hackett will soon be exchanging her Dargaville Medical Centre scrubs for a nurse’s uniform at King Faisal Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The 26-year-old will depart in early September to work as an emergency nurse for one year.
It will be her first time travelling overseas and she hopes it will be her ‘gateway to seeing the rest of the world’.
“I’m looking forward to experiencing a different culture and learning Arabic.”
As a predominantly Muslim country, women must adhere to a strict dress code, be accompanied by a male guardian when in public and are forbidden to drive.
“I think it’s probably one of the most different cultures you could live in,” she says. The placement is organised through a nurses
recruitment agency based in Ireland. Jessica applied for King Faisal Hospital as she has a friend who works in the emergency department, and says generally nurses are placed where ever they are best suited.
Born and bred in Dargaville, Jessica studied to be a nurse three years ago, going on to work in the emergency department in Whangarei Hospital, before taking a job in her home town.
“Initially everyone gets into nursing to help people.
“It is such a cool career and you can do some really amazing things with it,” she says, “and this opportunity will be just one of them.” ¢

Training for the futureu by Ann Morgan
The Air Training Corps in Dargaville is a community organisation run by trained volunteers for youth aged 13–18. They provide safe, enjoyable and challenging opportunities within a military framework.
The 57 Squadron Dargaville ATC has been parading since 1941. Flying officer Rhonda Gilligan has been involved since 2010, and became unit commander this year.
“The NZ Cadet Forces train the officers, including strategies in effective leadership,” she said.
“The cadets gain NZQA credits for participating and this is the only youth organisation to offer this.
“The youth can work their way through the ranks and progress to become officers. We do target shooting once a month and we have flying days with instruction from the Dargaville Aero Club.”
Bushcraft is another important aspect for cadets. They also compete with other units, with the skills they learn.
“It’s not about winning or losing, but about growing as young adults and having experiences in a controlled and safe environment. Every year we participate in Anzac day activities
p The 57 Squadron Dargaville ATC on a training night
and this year we provided cenotaph duty, which was a huge honour as we had never been involved in such a capacity before and the experience was invaluable.”
Sixteen year old Monique Flood has been in the ATC for four years and joined because she is interested in the Armed Forces as a career. “I decided to join to
get a taste of what it is like in the forces. I enjoy the discipline and you learn about respect and integrity towards others and the community,” she said.
“I definitely recommend others try it. There are senior and junior leaders courses, and we learn alot. You can travel overseas for cadet exchanges, it is really interesting.” ¢

Building a future in the Kaiparau by Andy Bryenton
In the tumultuous years following World War Two, New Zealand witnessed a huge upswing in the birth rate, as returning servicemen established young families and re-entered a new era of civilian life.
In the decades which followed this ‘baby boom’ generation had many ongoing demographic effects on the fabric of society. New suburbs and schools sprung up to accommodate the burgeoning population. As these people entered work, the economy, and the Government’s tax take, reaped the rewards. And now, as this generation reaches retirement age, a new sea-change once again faces the country, with its associated challenges and opportunities.
The time of this massive shift is now. A record number of people are now leaving employment, gaining the pension and looking towards a well earned period of leisure and relaxation. And many of them are choosing to take advantage of record prices in the
Auckland property market to sell their major asset, their family home, with an eye toward relocation.
The maths adds up. With the average house price in Auckland topping three quarters of a million dollars, selling
now and buying in the more reasonably priced provinces seems a fiscally wise choice. Here in the Kaipara, a handsome property, often with acreage or near the sea, is available for $400,000 or less. With money to spare, the possibility

exists to invest in stocks and shares, or in a second property. Renovations can be undertaken to furnish a homestead or lifestyle property in the North, making it the perfect retirement spot. Ease of access to the great outdoors is unparalleled here, with a mild climate, great fishing, lakes, forests and other natural attractions.
At the same time, towns such as Dargaville, Mangawhai and Maungaturoto, to name but three, enjoy some very cosmopolitan amenities. Health care and shopping are close at hand, with some top restaurants and cafes which outdo their city
counterparts. The internet has put a world of entertainment, and access to far-flung friends and relations, in the living rooms of most Kaipara residents.
Add to this the number of local businesses who have wholeheartedly embraced the Gold Card scheme, developed by our current Minister of Parliament Winston Peters, himself a strong advocate for the rights of the older citizen. Gold card benefits, on everything from auto maintenance to electrical work, food, healthcare and more are readily available in towns which must seem more like the ‘old New Zealand’ than the rapidly changing, fast-
paced heart of Auckland. Of course, the needs of an older generation seeking the perfect place to retire go beyond the present day, or even the present year. While 65 is the new 40 for many people in terms of active engagement with recreation and sports, decades to come will require a robust health care and support network for Kaipara residents reaching the milestone of 80, 90 or even 100 years of age. Certainly, many strands of that network are already in place, with quality care facilities expanding their operations to encompass hospital care in a home-like environment, and to care for those afflicted by dementia in their later years.
For the majority of the ‘baby boom’ generation, retirement has always seemed a far-off prospect, as they have worked to grow the economy and raise their families.
But the ideal of a place near the sea, with fish to catch, views to enjoy, friendly locals and a more sedate pace of life has not gone away. It’s just that it is no longer a reality in our bustling modern cities. Here in the Kaipara, however, such ideals are a reality.
It’s high time our well kept ‘secret’ was shared with those looking to build a retirement lifestyle away from Auckland. ¢

All welcome at Te Ha Orangau by Ann Morgan
Te Ha Oranga mobile nursing service is based at the Dargaville Hospital grounds and has been serving the Kaipara community since 1996.
“Our mission statement is ‘Kaua e mahue te tahi atu ki waho — Don’t leave anyone out’. We accept anyone and every culture to utilise the health services provided here,” said clinical manager Rhonda Zielinski-Toki.
“It is not about money or status, it is about being available and helping to reduce the barriers some of our whanau face when trying to access healthcare. Cost is not an issue, relationships with the Whanau/community is critical.
“We provide free registered nursing services to anyone living within the boundaries of the Ngati Whatua region. This extends from Waipoua, Pouto, Tinopai down to Wellsford, and Helensville in the southern area.”
Clients need to enrol, and complete a health assessment with a registered nurse.
“Te Ha Oranga is the health arm of Te Runanga O Ngati Whatua, and staff start their working day with karakia and waiata -prayer and song,” she said.
Blood pressure checks, smoking cessation programmes, immunisations,
Tamariki Ora — well child checks, a foot clinic, mirimiri and home based support are some services available.
Weekly doctors clinics are held at Te Ha Oranga on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays from 9am–12pm and monthly GP clinics at Pouto, Waipoa, Kaihu School, Naumai Marae and Tinopai.
These services are free to clients enrolled with the Mobile Nursing Service.
“Every Thursday is Kuia-Kaumatua day, where the older generation gather together for social activities and have a shared lunch.”

25TH JUNE$10 PER TICKET
Classic material ready to rollPlanning a taste odysseyu by Andy Bryenton
They say that the oldies are the goodies — and the golden era of Hollywood certainly provides a rich seam of cinematic gems for a forthcoming Dargaville Rotary film festival to mine.
Who can forget the distinctive images which have entered popular culture from films such as ‘The Italian Job’, ‘Bullitt’, ‘High Noon’, ‘Some like it Hot’ and ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’? All of these movies have shaped the way modern films are made, and have made enduring stars of Marilyn Monroe, Michael Caine, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood and Tony Curtis.
Now, in association with the Dargaville Rotary Club, the Anzac Theatre are bringing these classics, and more, back to the silver screen. From the glittering premiere of ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ on the 19th. Doors open at 5.30pm with nibbles and a glass and themed dress is encouraged. The movie starts at 6pm.
Through to a double feature with Elvis Presley on the 28th, June is set to be a month of celebrated cinema in downtown Dargaville. For those familiar with this formidable
When most folks take an overseas holiday, work is the last thing on their mind. But when Don and Rose from Dargaville’s Raan A Haan Thai Aroi Dee restaurant plan their forthcoming trip to Rose’s old homeland, the flavours of the Thai tradition will rank right up there with the sights and sounds.
Thailand has a varied culinary tradition, with interesting spices, sauces, vegetables and fruits sometimes rarely seen here in New Zealand. A stand out is the spiked and pungent durian, a football-sized fruit which is bright yellow, falls from immensely tall trees in the
canon of oscar-winners and nominees, it’s a chance to relive the glory days of Hollywood as the visionary directors of the 50s and 60s intended, on the big screen. For those who are unaware of the pleasures of the gear-crunching car chases of ‘Bullitt’, the heist hi-jinks of ‘The Italian Job’ or the gritty drama of ‘Red River’, it’s an education and the program is sure to have many treats in store for cinephiles of all ages.
Due to the very full schedule of classics, there are no pre bookings, but tickets may be purchased in advance for all sessions. Take a look at the Anzac Theatre’s website, www.anzactheatre.co.nz, for a full programme, and take advantage of this chance to witness cinematic history. ¢
rainforest, and has a creamy, garlic-and-custard flavoured centre. Dishes we know and love, such as hot and spicy noodles or satay chicken, meet even more exotic flavours from the mountainous northeast, where Thailand borders on Laos.
This trip will last a month, covering everything from kitchens and street food to temples and museums. The pair plan to bring back new inspiration for their highly regarded local restaurant, re-connecting with the ancient as well as the modern stands of Thailand’s vibrant culinary culture. ¢

The skee feld peeple were happy. There was some cars skiddin’ ona icy road, an’ one of them TV peeple sed we should stay inside an keep warm!”
“Yes Deah,” sed Sharlene. Bean a little bit sarky are we?” an’ she laffed.
“Well, wot a big surprise,” seda Boss. “It is winta time, an’ it gets cold in winta, specially ina south ilind, but also ona Dessit Road, an’ ina Horks Bay too.

Breach of banking code costs bank millionsAustralian customers and small businesses taking on their banks over rip-offs have won a massive boost after a landmark court ruling in the Australian Victoria State Supreme Court that requires financial institutions to stick to their own code of conduct.
The precedent setting judgment will cost the National Australia Bank Limited millions of dollars and has sparked a scramble from the banking industry as it means the banking code of conduct goes from being a guide to contractually binding.
The National Australia Bank suffered the defeat in court after it tried to argue that the industry’s self regulatory code of conduct has no legal effect.
It is ironic that our own New Zealand banks also claim that their code of banking practice is voluntary and is also not legally binding.
Australian Supreme Court Judge Justice James Elliott has ruled that the banking code has contractual force and because the National Australia Bank breached it, the bank could not recoup $6 million in loan guarantees for a series of Gold Coast property investments.
The judgment means that the National Australia Bank cannot enforce the guarantees made by Mr Rose. This judgment places a spotlight, not only on
the Australian banking code of practice but also on the New Zealand Bankers Association code of banking practice, as New Zealand Court decisions commonly follow Australian Court decisions, and those of Canada and the United Kingdom.
Farmers of New Zealand support the New Zealand code of banking practice becoming enforceable in New Zealand law.
It is not good enough for banks to simply hide behind the code of banking practice, claiming it is a voluntary agreement based on goodwill and intentions.
The majority of New Zealand banks are owned by Australian banks, therefore the New Zealand banking code of practice should become legally enforceable in New Zealand where they operate and enjoy ever increasing profits.
Farmers of New Zealand also support the re-introduction into Parliament of the Farm Debt Mediation Bill which, in the past, has not been supported by
the vast majority of politicians. While in New Zealand the number of bank foreclosures has declined, economists warn that those who currently have extended themselves in taking out mortgage loans could be exposed in the next New Zealand economic downturn, which may not be too far away if the Auckland real estate market funded by overseas immigrants crashes.
New Zealand Institute of Economic Research said even when mortgage sale numbers were high during the global financial crisis, New Zealand did not have the same default rate as the United States, where homeowners could “post back their keys” if property values collapsed.
The reality is that you can’t walk away from your mortgage in New Zealand.
Most farm mortgagee sales end up with the farming families losing their livelihoods and all of their possessions. ¢
