The Herald Island life and times of Eddie Grassick 1948 – 2024
Eddie’s family purchased the Herald Island Four Square along with the Petrol Pumps in the early 1970s. Eddie worked in the Four Square shop and was the forecourt petrol pump attendant selling Super and Regular petrol. Eddie’s family purchased a house on Ferry Parade and Eddie purchased the flats next to the Four Square and dairy shop. Eddie rented his flats and used the big shed behind the flats to set up Eddie’s Herald Island Lawn Mowing Services. Everyone could always recognize Eddie in his checked shirt and white pith helmet. Eddie was also a Herald Island volunteer fireman. The Volunteer Fire Engine was kept at 57 Ferry Parade until 1993. Eddie was the caretaker of the Herald Island Community Hall for more than three decades, seeing to all maintenance and taking all bookings and money.
Eddie was a member of the Herald Island Residents and Ratepayers Association Committee for many decades. He was also the caretaker for the fire station and the Herald Island Post Office, and later Museum. Most of the Herald Island community equipment was stored in Eddie’s shed next to the Four Square, including the Santa Claus Christmas Parade red Santa sled. Eddie Grassick was for more than three decades, dressed up as Santa Claus on the sled, throwing lollies to residents from the sled, as it was towed around the island on Christmas Day in the Christmas Parade.
Eddie owned a boat, an 18 foot kauri clinker cabin boat with a Yanmar inboard diesel, which he used in the Upper Harbour. Eddie sold his Boat in 1995. The Herald Island Boating Club Inc was founded by island yachting residents in 1979.Eddie Grassick was not the first Boating Club Custodian, Cyril Leishman of Coleman Avenue was. On Cyril’s death, Eddie was appointed by the Boat Club, Wharf Custodian, and later also the Community Wharf Custodian. Eddie was also appointed the Boating Club treasure, responsible for all wharf bookings and all money, which Eddie performed faithfully for almost four decades. Eddie was also mooring officer as the HIBC owned three moorings in those days. Eddie had a great knack for getting things done. He always knew who to contact at the Council, Auckland Transport, Harbour Board, Wharf Police, or anyone else with specific responsibilities.
Eddie inherited a black and white cat named Guinness. Guinness preferred to live on the wharf rather than in a house on the reserve. So he took up residence and was the Boat Club Cat. Guinness loved fresh fish and cat biscuits. The seagulls and ducks also liked Guinnness’s cat biscuits. When Eddie walked onto the wharf shaking the packet of biscuits, Guinness ran to his bowl, the seagulls lined up on the wharf handrail, waiting for their biscuits and the ducks swam around in circles under the wharf, waiting for their biscuits. Eddie was nicknamed the “Mayor of Herald Island”. Any dignitaries who visited Herald Island would be hosted by Eddie. Eddie will be sorely missed by all, and there will never ever be another Eddie of Herald Island.

TOTARA WATERS
From Penk’s Pen
CHRIS PENK – MP
“I hope that everyone is surviving winter OK. We recently passed the shortest day of the year, in late June, and, just to freak everyone out, we are now closer to the upcoming Christmas than we are from the last one. I’m not ready for any bells to starting jingling, personally!
In the meantime, the prevailing sentiment locally seems to be that everyone is looking to “survive til ‘25”, as the business gurus on LinkedIn would put it. Or, in normal person language, clearly there are still some tough times out there but the occasional ray of sunshine as well.
For my part, I am interested to know how we can make life easier for people in northwest Auckland and beyond. I am rapidly learning that a very small proportion of government is about finding the right way to spend other people’s money. While government should allow people to retain as much as possible – hence a platform of lower taxes, even if relatively modest relief – there are other steps that ministers can take to maximise value.
Among the most powerful of these is the removal of unnecessary regulation, aka cutting red tape. I recently announced that we will be enabling smaller structures to be built on land without the need for resource consent or building consent. This was a policy promoted by coalition partner NZ First that the government as a whole has adopted.
This “granny flat” policy will be important to a number of people in northwest Auckland: rural properties that can more easily have a worker cottage, elderly folk or younger people can enjoy independent living without a whole new section needed etc.
It also provides a small window (if you will excuse the pun) into some other possibilities that could make it easier to use land out here.
There are a number of tiny home builders, for example, who are currently needing to be quite creative about getting around existing red tape.
Of course the usual disclaimer applies regarding housing, which is that we need more of it but also more of the infrastructure needed to support it. This is the story of Kumeu and surrounding areas and I have not forgotten that.
I hopefully will be able to let you know more soon about plans for a high school (and for now I would simply say that the Ministry of Education has been painfully slow for years now) as well as various road and other transport initiatives that we need.
It has been good to connect with many of you in the last couple of weeks, with Parliament having a “recess” period to coincide with the school holidays. However you are spending this time, take care and stay safe in the cold.”
August Exhibitions
Kumeu Arts has some exciting things happening for August. The very popular ‘GET FIRED’ ceramics exhibition, curated with paintings by Catrina Lloyd, will be in full swing in the Main and Pip galleries, along with our drawing exhibition, ‘DRAWN IN’ in the Pod gallery. These shows will be on until August 24th.
The next exhibitions are Niki Price in the Pip Gallery window and The Muriwai Artists Collective (formally called Muriwai Open Studies) in the Main and Pod Galleries.
August and September Workshops: Come along on a Friday evening for various Paint and Sip evenings - August hosts Paint your Pet with Tamaasa. And in September, create Ceramic Candle Holders with Kathryn Tourell. There are always interesting workshops and classes for all ages and abilities, so come in and speak with us or go to our website for more information.
Looking ahead to September, plans are well underway for the free creative community event “PLAY”. Proudly supported by the Auckland Council, “PLAY” is an all-ages free, creative community event happening here at Kumeu Arts on Saturday the 7th of September. Come along with the whole family and get creative with us!
There’s always lots happening at Kumeu Arts so join the fun! Find us on Facebook or visit www.kumeuarts.org for more info.
Kumeu Arts are planning “Play!” A free creative community event for Saturday September 7th on behalf of the Rodney local board. We have a variety of indoor and outdoor activities to engage people of different ages, abilities and interests to explore what playing can be beyond the formal playground. Activities include Costumed Life Drawing, Nature Creatures, Petanque, Table Tennis, Harakeke Weaving, Nature Drawing, Handmade Musical Instruments, Foil Sculptures, Blackout Dance Party, Cardboard Playparks, and Chalk Drawings. We are fortunate to have these activities hosted by experienced creative artists and tutors who work in the area. There will be a coffee cart and free face painting on the day. The council is also looking for feedback on whether a pathway for wheels would be valued at Huapai Domain. Come along with the whole family and get creative with us!

Book Reviews: By Sue Jack Saving Jason
Bastards I have Met
- by Barry Crump Barry Crump at his best. True followers of No.8 Wire Kiwi mentality will love this book. An easy read, Crump’s unique humour and storytelling ability will have you chuckling throughout. Light relief from a serious world. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it!
- by Michael Sear
One of a series by this acclaimed writer. Filled with suspense and intrigue this crime novel is a perfect read for a winter’s night by the fire, set amongst New York high roller s and criminals, it travels on a journey involving a fathers devotion to his autistic son, and uncovers murder and kidnapping enroute.
Kiwi landscape designer wins gold at Asia’s Singapore Garden Festival.
Kiwi athletes aren’t the only ones bringing home the gold.
Auckland landscape designer Jules Moore took out a gold medal at the prestigious Singapore Garden Festival currently showing at Singapore’s massive Suntec Stadium.
Jules won gold for ‘Portals to Paradise’ her entry in the Best of Show, Fantasy Garden category, an 8m x 8m installation featuring over 4,000 plants, set within a majestic white cave, distinctively bone like and containing numerous portals within its structure. The cave itself contained an active waterfall and a cosmic orb surrounded by two trees of life.
“Competing in this Festival offered a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate innovative Kiwi garden design and promote our diverse horticultural practices,” says Jules.
“The judging criteria had a strong focus on sustainability, creativity and community all of which strongly align with the creative process I use when designing my inspirational gardens and landscapes.”
Jules brought her 10 strong design team from Auckland’s Touch of the Tropics Garden Centre, and spent just over a week, often working 16-hour days to complete the installation which also included bespoke lighting effects and a Kiwi inspired soundtrack sung by Jules and her son, James.
The biennial festival brings together top tier award winning
designers, florists, and horticulturists from 18 countries to compete in various competitions, all of which showcase the skills of leading floral and garden designers globally.
This year’s Singapore Garden Festival is poised to be the world’s biggest garden and flower show with organisers expecting an estimated 300,000 visitors.

New Services at CAB Massey
We have new services at the CAB Massey in Te Manawa we have an employment lawyer available on a Wednesday afternoon for 30 minute consultations. In the current economic climate this advice is very valuable to our clients. While our lawyer can not dispense formal legal advice during the clinics, or act for our clients, he can offer guidance to people struggling to find their way in a legal system they do not understand or can not afford to engage with.
Many of our clients cannot afford to engage with legal professionals, which results in an access to justice crisis. Our Employment lawyer complements our regular legal service also on a Wednesday – but for shorter appointments – where these lawyers once again can offer guidance about where to next.
We also have a counsellor available for one hour appointments three mornings per week. Counselling can be very expensive, and many people find with the expenses of day-to-day costs it is simply out of reach. Our counsellor is a graduate student who needs hours to formally qualify, and these hours benefit our community. It’s a win win situation
These clinics work in with the JP and Budgeting clinics we have long had available. And of course we have the Citizens Advice Service where we can help you solve problems large and small. If you’d like access these services or to help people in your community solve these and other problems, you may wish to be a volunteer at CAB Massey. Volunteering is incredibly rewarding and no session at Citizens Advice is the same as any other. For more information contact Barbara 09-833-557 massey@cab.org.nz or call in and see us at level 2 Te Manawa, Kohuhu Lane, Westgate, its right beside the North West Shopping Centre.

Ask Dr. Heather
How long does Botox®last? Anon, Whenuapai.
Botulinum toxin, more commonly known at Botox® is a neurotoxin that relaxes muscles. It is injected in different areas at different doses, in order to target muscles we no longer want to contract.
Results tend to last approximately 3-4 months, however this is dependent on a few factors. Some injectors (and companies) argue certain brands of Botulinum toxin last longer than others, however research has consistently shown dose injected is the most important factor, as the higher the doses used, the longer results last. Higher doses however are associated with more muscle paralysis, so a more “frozen” look, which can appear less natural. A more targeted approach to individual anatomy can also yield longer results as no unit of toxin is wasted on muscles that do not need treatment.
Even though typical results last 3-4 months, repeat treatments often aren’t required for a bit longer as the facial muscles take time to re-train and catch up to the rest of the face to resume normal expression. This means one can often obtain 5-6 months of longevity out of their anti-wrinkle treatments, which has the added benefit of allowing muscles to regain full strength before repeat treatment, so are less likely to waste and lead to an odd appearance long term. It is also fantastic for the budget!
Utilizing evidence-based products from reputable brands that are reconstituted correctly, not expired and stored correctly will also enhance results. It is always important to ask your injector what they use and why, and check they store their products correctly. Make sure you also keep an eye on long-term changes in your face as result of anti-wrinkle injections, as repeated highdose treatments when not required can often lead to heaviness and/or an odd appearance with strengthening of other muscles in order to maintain normal facial expression.

Honey Honey Honey
New Zealand has arguably the best tasting honey in the world. “Best” being a subjective opinion; you can’t argue taste and noone can refute that I like my honey better than anyone else’s. However, one thing that is undeniable is that NZ has one of the purest honeys in the world. Not just from the lower levels of pollution (according to The Herald 19/03/24; NZ is one of only seven countries to meet world air quality standards) and strict controls on the use of pesticides, we also have extremely highquality controls on all honey produced and sold. A big problem for overseas consumers is honey that has been adulterated, which isn’t an issue for us, as honey is not permitted to be imported into NZ. The problem is that honey can be shipped from country to country and its origin can be disguised. Honey can be diluted with cheaper high fructose corn syrup and sold as the real thing. It is also possible to feed bees just sugar syrup and then jar it and sell it as honey. There are tests available to make sure that the honey doesn’t have sugar added and that it doesn’t have diseases or pesticides. The only type of honey in NZ that could be harmful is honey that has contains tutin. Tutin is a native NZ plant, most of the parts of this plant are deadly, it used to be responsible for considerable stock and pet deaths. There are even two recorded cases of elephants dying from eating tutin! (Poison-honey culprit killed two elephants; Stuff, January 31, 2009). We have two types of honey in New Zealand – floral honey and honeydew. The first is when bees collect nectar from flowers and then transform it into honey. The second is honeydew, whereby tiny scale insects consume sap from a plant (commonly Beech) and excrete a sugarrich substance with the consistency of nectar, this is collected by worker bees and processed in the same way as nectar. It usually produces a strong flavoured honey (a deep amber colour with a malty, woody taste and a texture like golden syrup). It’s great with cheese, vegetables, and Greek yoghurt). The Australian Passion vine Hopper insect can produce honeydew from tutin for bees to collect; this honey doesn’t affect bees but can be harmful to humans. Very few people have died from tutin poisoned honey, the last was in 1989. Anyone selling honey must have it tested for tutin (a cheap, easy test) if it has been harvested after New Year in the North Island. I don’t know anyone who has had honey that has tested positive for tutin.
Honey is like eating liquid sunshine. A natural food that’s been around even longer than mammals have. Honey is a good source of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. The sugars in honey are mostly glucose and fructose, rather than the more easily digested, empty calories of sucrose in white sugar. Honey is thought to reduce inflammation in the gut and ease gastrointestinal issues. Manuka honey’s use in dressing wounds is well established and is used in hospitals around the world to treat against superbugs that antibiotics can’t. Honey is used extensively in complementary and traditional medicine. After all, when you have got a cold who didn’t get sent to bed with a hot honey and lemon drink by their mother, or warm honey and whisky by their partner? A teaspoon of honey soothes a sore throat and a cool glass of mead eases a headache. Apiculture (beekeeping) is a Primary Industry in New Zealand, but prices are rock bottom, and the weather has not been kind over the last few years, so please support a beekeeper and buy local honey.

Herald Island Garden Club
The Mid Winter AGM is a chance for our Club to review the previous year’s meetings and appreciate the wide variety of speakers and visits we’ve had. Thank you, to those who have helped in the organization of these events. We usually have about 18-20 members attend in the winter months at the Fire Station, with often more turning out in the summer, on our inspiring Garden Trips.
Each year we continue the evening, with a vaguely garden related activity, this year learning to weave flax flowers. Many thanks to members Chris Brannigan, who brought the gear and gave a demonstration and Sue McElroy and Anne Johson for supporting her. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely.
It was a great social evening, finishing with another delicious supper and mulled wine to warm everyone up.
