CHRISTMAS PARADE UPDATE

Well what an under whelming response for help.

I am starting to wonder if this town actually

wants a Xmas parade.

Thank you to those few who have offered, I will

be in touch .

I will give this another go : I need some volun-

teers for the organising of the Xmas parade, if I

do not get some help this event is running the

risk of not being held!!!!.

Come on people, many hands make light work,

your community needs you! It would be great to

see some new faces getting involved as the load

always seems to fall on the same few.

Everyone has a skill, give me a call and we will

workout what area of expertise suits you best.

Look forward to hearing from you soon

90 Years Celebrated90 Years Celebrated90 Years Celebrated90 Years Celebrated

A family gathering was held at the old Puriri Downs residence on S.H.1, on the 19th of August to celebrate Joan Cullen’s 90th birthday. In attendance were her four children, ten of her twelve grandchildren and her eight great grandchildren. Also in attendance were brother Bill Hickson from Waikanae and two cousins Harry and Steve Carter and their wives from Auckland and Snells Beach. Joan was born in Thames in 1916 and the family moved to Westmere, Auckland some four years later. Her school was the local primary and secondary was Seddon Tech., then situated in Wellesley Street in the city. Graduating from there it was a short walk to the Sun Insurance office in Shortland Street where she was em-ployed in clerical work. Joan’s parents association with the Fred Cullen family of Maungaturoto saw holidays and visits to the North and led to her connection with Trevor (T.A.) Cullen. They were married in 1939 after building the original part of the homestead now occupied by her grand daughter and her husband, Maree and Gus Redington. Joan’s arrival on the farm saw her integration into the large Fred Cullen family group and her farming experi-ences ranged from the days of Horse drawn mowers and hay stackers and hand milking 30 cows, as there was no herringbone cowsheds and the size of size of today's herd is over 300 cows. After Trevor’s death in 1989, Joan stayed on in the family home until she moved to Orewa in 1996. This en-abled her to be closer to her two daughters and she has enjoyed ten years there in the company of many new friends. In her 91st year Joan sends her best wishes to any of her associates who still remember her in Maungaturoto.

Get to know . . . Eileen Parsons

A couple of years ago Eileen Parsons figured that

if she didn’t improve her wellbeing she would join

the growing number of people whose lives are

wrecked by diseases like diabetes.

“I decided if I didn’t do something about it I

couldn’t blame anyone else if I got sick,” she says.

So on New Year’s Eve in 2004 she resolved to start

walking. And we’re not talking leisurely strolls,

Eileen really started walking. Her longest walk has

been 64,000 steps in the Rotorua Marathon. She

was 55th in her age bracket and came in 1782 out of

1948 competitors.

Eileen, who turns 60 this month, did a 12km walk

in Kaitaia on October 1 and will soon compete in

the Keri Keri walk. She’s competed in 10km and

half marathons in Whangarei and Auckland.

Since she started walking Eileen has lost 10kg

without trying. She expects walking will get easier

as more kilograms melt away. She no longer suf-

fers arthritic pain in her feet and one hip.

“I’m much less stressed. It’s taught me to priori-

tise. I can think better.”

Her son Bren, 22, used to tell her he enjoyed walk-

ing when he was a child. “You can have time out

to think about what you want to think about. It’s

totally our own thoughts. It’s helped me put things

in perspective.”

Eileen walks on most days, wears a pedometer and

keeps a diary of long walks. In February, for in-

stance, she walked the 22.8km Bickerstaffe loop in

four hours and 37,000 steps.

An economics, accounting and maths teacher at

Otamatea High School, she regularly clocks up

12,000 steps a day. Eileen administrates athletics

and indoor bowls at regional level, is a swimming

timekeeper and an athletics coach.

She’s also involved with scouts, St John Ambu-

lance, the Anglican Church, Care and Share - a

family support trust, and she does accounts for vol-

unteer and sports groups. .She says her community

work helped her cope after her husband Murray

was killed in a road accident in 1994. Her commit-

ments stopped her from curling up and withdraw-

ing.

In 1999 she was awarded a Queen’s Service Medal

for Community Service and this year won the

Maungaturoto Community/Business Supreme

Award for her community service. .

“I love this community and I love being part of it

and you can’t be part of it without doing things,”

she says.

Greetings from the Maungaturoto Playcentre

By the time you receive this newsletter, we will have been on holiday for a week, enjoying the sunshine and our gardens and hopefully, enjoying our children at home, without the routines of Playcentre and school. However, most of us would have been into the Playcentre to do our share of the clean-up or gone in over the holidays with the hope it was all be looking good for the start of Term 4. We have many activities planned for next term with the finer weather, including a few trips away from the centre. We also hope to finish re-planting the bank with native trees very soon. Welcome to all the new families who have joined up. It's great seeing new faces and par-ticularly those of the children who launch into the 16 areas of play with great gusto. On Wednesday, October 18, we will be hold-ing a junior version of Pet Day -- stuffed ani-mals included. Our AGM is coming up on October 25 at Bee-Jay's Cafe with desserts and coffee, starting at 7pm. We welcome all our parents and anyone inter-ested in what we are doing to attend the AGM. I am hoping that we will be able to have all our positions filled as many hands make light work.

Ka kite, May Seager (President)

Homebuilders Community HouseHomebuilders Community HouseHomebuilders Community HouseHomebuilders Community House Hello there October and daylight saving and labour weekend, gee isn’t October is a great

month?

Hard to believe that we are at that point of the year already when most of our activities are

starting to come to an end….but wait, we still have one more workshop to bring to you for

2006.

Heidi Downey, workshops, confidently living. The next Step. This workshop will run for 6

weeks from 16th October until the 27th November. Mondays only from 9.30am to 12.30pm. This is the last one for this year but we will have more running for you next yearThis is the last one for this year but we will have more running for you next yearThis is the last one for this year but we will have more running for you next yearThis is the last one for this year but we will have more running for you next year.

In fact…..We would actually like to ask your opinion on workshops.

Each year about this time we get started on our planning for the following year, a difficult

task and often hard to find courses with content that, we feel would be suitable to bring to

you. This past year we put the focus on parenting courses, so now we would like some feed-

back from you, as to what you think you would like to see running at Homebuilders next

year. …so go on, give us a call and tell us what you think. 09 4319080

****** Another new service from Homebuilders *******

Adult literacy. Tutor is available Monday to Thursday from 3pm- ?

The tutor will be working on a one to one basis, not with a class. If you are interested ph 09 4319080 for more information or an appointment

time….. Plus extra tuition for children with maths and English. Robert Brownlie is a fully

qualified teacher with many years experience with both teaching and administration of educational facilities. We are delighted to be able to bring this new service to the community and trust this will be of benefit to many.

Good Old Days Group.

Now we have been trying to split this group into twice monthly because it has grown so much and it is get-

ting hard to fit everyone in to our little house...but alas you don’t want to split up into two, so we are going

to leave you just as you are and if we have to sit people on the roof then I guess we will just have to do

that…no I am only joking of course. We may have to look at alternative sites if the group continues to grow

but in the meantime its still the same place...Homebuilders community House... and the same date...1st

Wednesday of the month and the same time… 11am and of course the same great food and wonderful com-

pany. So there you go see you all on the 4th October

.

KAURI SETTLERS DAY & WOOD SCULPTURE COMPETITION

ALL PART OF THE KAURI FESTIVAL AT THE KAURI MUSEUM

Saturday 16th September was the day the Museum came alive, to pay tribute to our early Kauri Settlers and pioneering history. It was a fun day for the whole family with live demonstrations from 10am – 4pm. Staff and volunteers dressed up in period costume to create an authentic Victorian atmosphere. The day began with a church service in the old Pioneer Church at 9.30am and throughout the day there were live demonstrations and displays - like the brick press that once made the early settlers bricks in Paparoa and the Engine Enthusiasts who were on hand to demonstrate the running of stationary engines and to start the 1929 Caterpillar 60 tractor. There was also many home crafts from yesteryears being demonstrated. The Kauri Museums ‘live day’ and Wood Sculpture event ‘From Bowls to Boats’ are being run in conjunc-tion with Northlands Kauri Festival to create a real celebration of the mighty Kauri. “From Bowls to Boats” is a competition and exhibition of Wood Sculpture. There are 7 categories and woodworkers had until 13 September to enter the competition, these entries will be displayed in The Kauri Museum, showcasing some of New Zealand’s finest craftsmen. The Wood Sculpture exhibition was on display from 15 September until 30 September. As part of the Wood Sculpture event there were demonstrations running on Saturday 16 September of woodworkers using their lathes, creating inlay or carving

Ground Durable Fence Posts

and Great Firewood Trees for the North

If you’d like to be growing your own ground durable fence posts (i.e they don’t need tanalising) or your own good quality firewood or timber species that will do well in the north and that won’t be

affected by the pests currently affecting many of the eucalyptus species we have the trees for you.

Catalpa Speciosa is a coppicing (you cut it and it grows again and again) tree that grows ground durable posts. We are now using our own catalpa fence posts here and it has also proved to be an

excellent timber for splitting to make rails etc , poles for chook yards, trellis for grapes or kiwi fruit etc.

An excellent tree for all round small farm uses as well as green wood work. They grow more slowly in heavy soils however our soil is the worst and they have still performed.

The pergola over the Pizza Oven is built with Catalpa

Eucalyptus microcorys is the best eucalyptus in our opinion for northland at the moment because it is in a separate branch of the Eucalyptus family and it is not affected by the pests that affect the other eucalypts. It is an excellent choice for firewood, timber, bee forage, and is well trialled and

proved in our soils and climate The best month to plant these trees is September through to mid October

Now is the Time to Plant

Courses for Careers Evening

A well-attended information and discussion evening was held on 30 August in the school hall and the Performing Arts block for parents and students to investigate their 2007 subject options and future career pathways. At OHS we offer 22 different courses at Year 11, 29 at Year 12 and 17 at Year 13. Princi-pal Mr Hutching believes that that there is no school of our size in New Zealand that offers such a range and number of course as OHS. As well as displays for the subject options offered to seniors, 11 outside agencies were represented with displays and liaison officers from universities, NorthTec, Career Services, Rural Training Services, Electrical Appren-ticeships, Regent Training and the Auckland Jewellery Making School.

The standard of pres-entation, ballroom dancing and be-haviour was exem-plary and I was very proud of our school. Sincere thanks are due to the Ball Committee for the gorgeous “tropical island” decorations and lighting, the PTCA for supper and beverages and everyone who helped in any way to make this the social occasion of the school year.

Club News: The weather is starting to warm up so balls are getting

bouncier, and bodily fluids more profuse,

on the squash courts!

Club champs began the last week in September and

there are going to be some big battles this year. Some

of the women such as Mel, Glenys and Naomi have

shown huge improvement this year, and there are al-

ways a few whippersnappers like Ben, Eli and Kieran

who’d like a crack at the big boys! Play hard, play

fair!

Tournament News: The E-Grade women’s Super Champs were held in

Hamilton in September and the Kamo girls took out the

title. Also Northerner Shelley Kitchen won the National

title, for the second year in a row at the Christchurch

Nationals. The men’s title was won by Callum

O’Brien ,a bit of a character who would give Sellars a

run for his money when it comes to

challenging the ref!!!

September meeting held in the Supper

Room. Centennial Hall, Wednesday 20th.

Owing to sickness our speaker for the day

was unable to attend. So after the usual

business several members were able to fill

the time with some very interesting gar-

dening hints.

Marj gave us much useful information on

plants not to grow and also an excellent

fruitcake recipe.

Sheryl told us of unusual uses for Kero-

sene and Bernice showed Tussie Mussies

suitable for carrying on smelly occasions.

The trading table went with a bang and

everyone enjoyed a chat.

Next Month—October 18th—a visit to

Mangawhai to two gardens.

Meet 10.30am at the Ambulance car park

and bring lunch.

Thought for the month:

hell out of it and hope like hang it dies in the

corner!” Source: Ben or was it Eli or maybe Craig…...

FARM LIVING Stirling Mortlock - Private Investigator

Stirling Mortlock. What a magnificent name! The last New Zealand-Australia test had barely started when he kicked a penalty. But I was-n’t concentrating. I was thinking that anyone with such an incredible name would be a pri-vate investigator in a hard-boiled detective novel. “Why’s Stirling Mortlock kicking instead of Daniel Carter?” I idly ask the farmer and resident rugby-head, although I’m not really interested because Stirling’s name has me captivated. “Because he doesn’t play for the All Blacks,” he says in a droll monotone from his favourite armchair. Oh! And I am a total idiot! I’ve seen Mr Mortlock play rugby before, of course, but I was so busy reinventing his career I wasn’t thinking straight. Perhaps it was the red wine and roar-ing fire so early in the evening. Daniel Carter can be distracting too, but I won’t theorise on his true calling except to ask: Am I the only person who thinks he always looks like he’s just got out of bed? It’s some-thing to do with his dishevelled hair. Check it out. Anyway, my blunder must be close to the last straw for Rex who played rugby for years. He stopped after he swallowed his tongue, blacked out and only survived because someone pulled out his tongue with a lineout flag. He lost his nerve after that. Rugby’s followed with almost religious fervour at our place. I’d already been in trouble at kick off time when I suggested that we do a scratchy - crossword scratchies are among our addictions. The frustrated AB was mortified! We’re concentrating on rugby, he said and I backed down. Then, barely 10 minutes later, I see him doing Sukodu to which he is even more chronically addicted. I call him on it and he says, “I only do it during line outs. We’re not good at line outs and I don’t like watching them.” Rex sounds genuinely pained and I get a new appreciation of what it is to be a rugby-mad Kiwi bloke. Just a few nights earlier I’d been unable to watch large chunks of Behind Enemy Lines about the fighter pilot shot down over Bosnia. Even though the film was too spiced up to be true, watching it made my tummy flip and go woozy. It was awful. This is how rugby fans can feel during line outs. Wow! It really gives me something to think about. A while later an Aussie gets a dodgy try that’s replayed several times and I’m asked: “Would you award it?” I decide, yes, a try has been made, but the rugby-head is adamant: “Nuh, there was no control.” When a try is awarded I expect him to acknowledge my appreciation of the finer points of rugby. Okay, my blue about Stirling Mortlock was pathetic, but I’m still disappointed when he doesn’t. And I’m also disappointed in Stirling for not living up to his name - until I learn he’s got a science degree. It’s an ideal qualification for a private investigator.

Thanks to Rae for her contribution

Worzel’s Country Critters!!

From Out of Left Field

Taking a break I leant on a fence post. Nearby a flock grazed contentedly under warm spring sunshine. A sturdy looking Ram, noticing my presence, left ewes and lambs to make his way to-wards where I stood watching, and cast sheep eyes upon me. I had the strange feeling he was trying to tell me something.

“You see,” he said, ‘there’s thems as thinks sheeps is stupid, and, for the most part, they’d

be right. I gotta admit there’s plenty as don’t mind bein led like lambs to the slaughter. But sure

as my name’s ‘Arry ‘Oggat I’m one as would rather be ‘ung for a sheep as a lamb. See I’m the

Ram elect round ‘ere, delegate for the wool producers union, and you don’t get that job if you

can’t perform in the top paddock as it were. I reckon most of yous think bein a sheep is easy.

Take my job for instance. Only workin a season, and nice work if you can get it, then for the rest

of the time, all sunshine and clover.

Well that might be what ewe think, but don’t the grass always look greener on the other side

of the fence?

It sure aren’t like the old days when we had good shepherds to lead us Back then we’d walk

through the valley of the shadow of death and not even fear any evil. And there was pastures

green and quiet waters by. Gawd, the places sheep went in those times. But these days, it’s

fenced paddocks, bossy Dogs and noisy motorbikes. There’s laws and regulations each way

you look, and compliance is getting tougher all the time, If it’s not drenchin, It’s crutchin and I

wont mention tupping. Talk about mountain oysters round ‘ere and your likely to bring on a

nasty turn in the wether. Now I got more naggin wives than a Mormon and with the current em-

phasis on production if they aren’t all ave’n twins every year then I not only get the chop, I be-

come chops. That’s right, if you’ve ever wondered why sheep are a bit nervous try livin with the

prospect that if there’s a fluctuation in the global economy or a bit of a dry spell, you’re likely to

end up in a very hot place makin close acquaintance with rosemary and mint sauce. Yep, us

sheep all get fleeced in the end and bein nothin more than a production unit, it’s intolerable.

So what are we gonna do? We could rise up and impose mob rule, after all there is 45 mil-

lion of us, or we could go on strike, fly strike if necessary. But we wont. And why not? Because

we’re sheep that’s why. We’ve become so used to bein pushed around by others, bullied into

doin what we don’t want to do, forced to go places we don’t want to go, even if it’s the abat-

toir we still go, why? Because we’re sheep. Sure bein a sheep might be easy but what’s the

point if you got no freedom, no say in things.

Now you could be a cunning Rat, a dirty Dog, or a siily old Cow. People might even call

you a pig headed swine, a snake in the grass or, heaven forbid, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. But

take some advise from one who knows ‘is ryegrass from ‘is ragwort. Be anything else, but don’t

be a sheep.”

With that he turned and with the quiet dignity of the long oppressed walked back to join his flock. I’d been fed by sheep before, but as I went on my way I realised this one had given me something more, Food for thought.
