Election talk kicks off  by Ayla Miller

Ruawai farmer and businessman, Greg Gent, has confirmed to the Lifestyler that he is considering standing for mayor in the upcoming local body elections after being approached by members of the Kaipara community.

Rock out and read in the library

If you’ve ever wanted to break the rules and make a bit of noise at your local library — now is your chance …

Mr Gent is currently chairperson of Southern Cross Healthcare Group, FMG Insurance, Dairy Holdings and deputy chair of the Plant and Food Research Board. He says that great progress has been made in the Kaipara under the

commissioners and he would like to see that momentum continue.

“What we need at these elections, in my view, is a whole new council and with that a new culture and way of operating.

The greatest risk I see is that after the

elections we slip back into the hole that we are climbing out of.

“We all want to have a Kaipara we can feel proud of and a Kaipara that attracts people. continued on page 5 …

A season of success  by Ann Morgan

The Tatarariki Tennis Club’s junior programme had a successful season and coach David Cole says this is due to the commitment and support local schools have given to the sport.

 Tatarariki Tennis Club members: Stephanie Cole, Emma Pocklington, Victoria and Carolyn Cole

“I have been coaching at schools in Dargaville for a few years and the momentum is building and the skills students are gaining are starting to show through,” said David.

“The encouragement they are getting to participate in tennis events from their schools has made it much easier for them.”

Junior tennis player Emma Pocklington has been playing since she was 12 years old.

“When she first tried the sport her natural talent saw her make the tennis excellence class in 2014. She received two hours of coaching once a week for a term. She then joined the Tatarariki Tennis Club and hasn’t looked back.

“Emma has the potential to go a long way. She is very talented at many sports and tennis is obviously one of her strong points. We have had 65 players aged between four and 18-years-

old at our club this season which is really encouraging.”

David’s daughters Stephanie, Victoria and Carolyn have been playing since they were old enough to pick up a racquet.

Carolyn has won several competitions including the Northern Wairoa year seven and eight girls’ doubles title backto-back, partnering with Francie Godfrey.

Victoria and Emma won the Northland Secondary Schools Doubles Tournament and Victoria won the Northland 14-yearold girls Open. Stephanie won the Northland 16-year-old girls Closed and Open Tournaments.

“Owen Cleary won the Intermediate School tournament and Sela Maake is doing great too. Her only coaching is at school and she came fourth in the year seven and eight singles and was runner up in the Dargaville Primary School singles. It is encouraging to see the players doing so well.” 

Kaipara presence on lottery board  by Ayla Miller

Dargaville resident Darlene Lang Gent will play an influential role in deciding how funds will be distributed to community groups throughout Northland following her appointment onto the Lottery Northland Community Committee.

She will sit alongside Dargaville farmer and presiding member Neil Clements, Peter Jensen, Patsy Thornton and Gwen Te Pania-Palmer.

Mrs Lang Gent was approached last year by the Department of Internal Affairs and was notified of her threeyear ministerial appointment earlier this month.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what projects are going on in Northland and being able to help people achieve their goals by giving them funding,” she says.

Mrs Lang Gent says it will be a new experience on the other side of the process as she has previously applied for funding through the scheme as a community member.  Darlene Lang Gent, Kaipara District Council community facilitator, has been appointed onto the Lottery Lottery Community funding Northland Community Committee is available for projects, activities, resources or services that Applications for the lottery funding have a community or social service focus and the board aims to connect scheme open in June and close in July communities and improve well-being and the board will meet in October to make their final decisions.  and the quality of people’s lives.

Celebrating 25 years  by Ann Morgan

Jean Johnson from Ray White Dargaville is celebrating 25 years in the real estate industry, which has been her passion — helping clients into their own homes has been a pleasure to her.

“My real estate career started in East Auckland where I had owned a cake shop. We decided to move to Dargaville and I have enjoyed living my passion for real estate here,” said Jean.

Only four real estate agencies operated here when she first arrived.

“I wanted to provide open homes but that was not heard of so I organised signage and was the first in town to do open homes.

“Sale and purchase agreements were done by carbon copies in those days. There were no faxes or photo copiers where  Jean Johnson is celebrating 25 years of real estate I worked at the time.

The Northern Wairoa Senior Men’s Football team will play against University of Auckland at Memorial Park, Dargaville, as they compete for the first time in the Chatham Cup tournament to be held on Anzac Day. Club president Allen Dennis says the team are feeling more confident about their skills, and as it is a home game and on Anzac Day, it will be an appropriate way to commemorate the fallen soldiers.

“The playing roster this year is quite strong and the team thought it would be a good goal to set,” he says.

“The senior men would like the experience of playing in the Chatham Cup at a higher level.”

Mr Dennis would like to encourage the community to come along and support  The Northern Wairoa Senior Men’s Football team in training their team and he is expecting spectators from Whangarei a prestigious club and I think it is a to travel across to show their cheer the chance for us to showcase ourselves team on as well. not only as a team but as a club.”

Election talk kicks off “To achieve that, I believe people who may have never thought of themselves as giving back via local government, should consider the option to stand.”

He says the greatest positive development over the past three years has been the reduction of the debt whilst maintaining adequate levels of services which has restored a huge amount of confidence.

To avoid the same issues as the previous elected council, Mr Gent says his focus would be to work on having an open and transparent council.

He believes that the new council will need to think of innovative ways to stay accountable to ratepayers and retain their confidence.

“I think councillors need to have more accountability and fiscal responsibility.

Beach access ‘is protected’  by Ann Morgan

A group of Mangawhai residents, protesting the proposed removal of Te Arai beach car park to make way for development, has suggested the move will prevent public access to the coastline.

“It is an important part of our community. We are very concerned about the removal of the car park on Pacific Road as this is at the heart of the community,” said Save Te Arai chairman Aaron McConchie.

The group believe developers for the Te Uri o Hau coastal project are attempting to privatise a large part of Te Arai beach by relocating the car park inland.

This has been refuted by Te Uri o Hau. Chair of the iwi’s settlement trust Russell Kemp, says the car park is being shifted because it is currently located within the sensitive dune area which is part of the coastal reserve.

“We have worked to reposition it on our private land at our cost. We are building a walkway for people to access the beach along with other facilities for the public. By shifting a car park and installing a walkway, it

Kaiwaka School student Lincoln Morgan smashed all previous records at the annual school Giant Pumpkin Growing Competition this year with his ‘Big Boy’ entry which weighed in at 93 kilograms.

Hospice Kaipara Inc have welcomed lead clinical nurse Annette Olsen to the team. The area Annette will help cover is from the Waipoua Forest through to Pouto, Tangowahine Valley and Paparoa.

“The last record was 72 kilograms. It was a challenging season this year for the pumpkin growers with many unconfirmed and outrageous claims made, mainly by teachers, of pumpkins reaching prize-winning weights before exploding or rotting in the humid weather,” said principal Rosie Ellis.

“We have been running the competition for at least five years now. It was started by some keen parents who still run the event for us.”

The seeds are planted in Spring and the competition is held in April.

“The local vet supplies the scales for weighing and then we have the hill roll event. We see which pumpkin rolls the greatest distance and the seeds are then collected and saved to give to growers the following year. It is a great initiative and everyone really enjoys it.

“The children learn how to pollinate and look after the vegetables.  Lincoln with the Kaiwaka School Pumpkin Trophy “There is a lot of care needed and it is not as easy as it looks. You sponsored by Jaques Four Square, Kauri need to figure out the best location Park Nurseries, Kaiwaka Cheese Shop, for growth, have the correct water, sun Buy the Way Boutique, Café Bianca and and compost.

The Vet Centre.

“It is an excellent learning activity.

“Seeds from Lincoln’s winning There are also other categories for the pumpkin will be distributed in Spring children to enter in such as the ‘Arty for this coming Summer’s budding Giant Farty’ dressed up pumpkin. The event is Pumpkin growers.” 

“My husband and I have moved home to Dargaville. I recently worked at Totara Hospice in South Auckland where I was for just over a year,” said Annette.

“Prior to that I was a district nurse.

My experience includes living in the outback of Australia caring for the Aboriginal community.”

Annette says this was very different and exposed her to a different culture and way of life and was a unique experience.

 Otamatea High School kapa haka group performing at the Te Tai Tokerau festival

“The theme was kaitiakitanga or guardianship. Safeguarding our three official languages: Te reo Maori, New Zealand English and New Zealand Sign Language; protecting our land and sea as a zero waste event and also caring for people with various educational health and sporting advice on site.” said teacher Thomaseena Paul.

“The staff, students and community all jumped aboard the waka and ensured that the

kapa haka festival highlighted the might of our local community.

The school field was alive with people who were enjoying the day and participating in Maori games, family entertainment, food and information stalls.

“After months of planning and work preparing for the festival, Otamatea High School is proud of the result of the innovations that we implemented.”

She said safeguarding the Te reo language was

promoted through the engaging of bilingual MCs and sign language interpreters.

They protected the land through the zero waste initiative and the people through the promotion of good health and educational planning.

“The festival was a fantastic way of unifying all facets of our community and we would like to thank our sponsors for supporting the kaupapa and powering the waka.” 

Welcome to Wellsford Rock out and read in the library  by Rose Stirling

Students set goals

If you’ve ever wanted to break the rules and make a bit of noise at your local library — now is your chance.

Children in Wellsford tested their endurance and perseverance during Wellsford School’s Try-athlon.

The event has been running for three years and focuses on personal challenge rather than competing against others.

Sixty year-zero to -one children completed a 400m run, 300m bike and a 15m swim whilst 100 year-two to -four children completed a 1,200m bike, 400m run and a 150m swim.

“As part of our health and physical education curriculum, we have been learning about having active lifestyles and setting goals. At our school we are lucky enough to have a 20-metre solar-heated pool and a large bike track, with a set of school bikes,” said teacher Ngadia Jones. “We have

 Shane Richards on guitar, and Peter Wilton on keyboard, entertain the public inside the Wellsford War Memorial library during a previous open mic night held during NZ Music Month

Wellsford War Memorial Library is opening its doors to musicians next month and they’re hoping it will draw in a crowd as well.

Wellsford Library manager Megan Livick says they wanted to do something to celebrate New Zealand Music Month, so librarian Gene Nicolson came up with the idea to invite local musicians to play.

Megan says it’s about getting the community engaged with the library and so far they’ve had two local groups come forward to say they will perform on separate Saturday mornings to coincide with the adjacent markets, but she welcomes more.

“We certainly invite others to come forward. I think libraries are becoming a real community space now and are allowing members to use the space as a place to showcase their talents.”

She says musicians will be able to choose between playing in the lounge area of the library, where she says there is a nice ambience, or outdoors.
