The Other Woman

★

When three lovely ladies find out that the same suave guy has been dating them all, they make a plan for revenge. Brought together by infidelity, they nevertheless develop a strong friendship, at the same time uncovering their cheating beau’s dodgy business deals. Romantic comedy with a twist, featuring Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton.

Tracks

What happens when a reluctant adventure travel writer sets out to cross the burning expanse of the Australian desert, with only a bad-tempered train of camels for company? This true story catalogues one of the most amazing journeys in recent history, following one woman’s odyssey from the Red Centre to the Indian Ocean.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

An elegantly crafted tale of a grand old Victorian era hotel, trading on its fading opulence and catering to an eccentric group of guests in the tumultuous era between World Wars. With a stellar cast, this is by turns a raunchy, funny, touching and melancholy story well worth a watch.

The Invisible Woman

This is the story of Nelly Ternan, secret lover of the great Victorian author Charles Dickens. Fans of the incisive social commentary, lavish costumes and emotional drama of Downton Abbey will be sure to love this clandestine tale of love and literature.

Sunshine on Leith The feel-good musical of the season, this story follows two soldiers returning from the war in Afghanistan to their home in Edinburgh. Their close encounter with death has made the pair eager to embrace life’s possibilities, and for both of them this means pursuing their dream girls. Romance, song and laughter with the music of the Proclaimers as a backing track!

Divergent

 Due to public demand, the closing date for entries in this year’s ‘Art N Tartan’ Wearable Art Awards at Waipu Museum has been extended until Friday, May 16, and artwork description should be in by May 23. The extension gives contestants more time to finalise their details and put in a few hours of extra work on their art piece. Demand and increased sponsorship means this highly successful show should be the best one yet.

Caitlin’s Pentastic up to the challenge

Futuristic sci-fi action in the same vein as the best-selling Hunger Games series - another adaptation of a trilogy of novels set in a dystopian future, where the overthrow of a corrupt ruling order falls to some specially talented, tough and resourceful young freedom fighters.

The Amazing Spider Man 2 Peter Parker, transformed by the bite of a radioactive spider into a superpowerful hero, must face the wrath of the sinister Oscorp, who throw a succession of mutants and monsters in the young crime-fighter’s path, including the immensely powerful Electro.

Wadjda

This much-awaited film is the first fully Saudi Arabian feature film ever, and surprisingly for this very orthodox nation it has been directed by a woman, the talented Haifaa Al Monsour. See what the international cinema establishment is raving about as this beautiful and artistically composed tale unfolds.

 Kenn Peralta from the winning Pentastic team makes a point during the BP Challenge at Dargaville High School. The winning team came up with the Pentastic, a pen with a microchip in it that keeps a permanent record of what it has written. Eight teams had their products and presentations assessed by a panel that included Kaipara District Council chief commissioner John Robertson and Dargaville High principal David Bargh.

Lower beach speed limits on the cards  by Colin Patterson

Vehicles heading out onto Ripiro Beach next summer are likely to have to go slower with the likely implementation of a 30km an hour speed limit on sections of the beach adjacent to access ways.

 Vehicles travelling on Ripiro Beach could soon be limited to 30km/h within 1km of any beach entrance

Ripiro Beach is situated on the west coast between Aranga and Pouto. At 100km long it is New Zealand’s longest beach. Because it is a legal road, a 100km an hour speed limit applies on the entire length of the beach.

Following numerous reports of beach goers being endangered by vehicles being driven at speed, late last year the Kaipara District Council established a working party to look at setting new speed limits on the beach. The working party has representatives from the council, police, Northland Regional Council, Department of Conservation, local communities and iwi.

Council spokeswoman Barbara Ware says that following meetings with local residents, the working party has recommended that a 30km an hour limit be imposed within 1km of each of

six entrances to the beach at Aranga, Omamari, Baylys Beach, Mahuta, Glinks Gully and Pouto.

She says the recommendation that a lower limit only apply within 1km of the beach entrances was a result of police advice that applying a lower limit on the full extent of the beach would be difficult to enforce.

She says council officers are now drafting a bylaw which will then go out for public consultation. Public hearings are then likely to be held.

If the proposal goes through the full process, approval from both Police and the New Zealand Transport Agency will also be required before the limits can be changed.

Ms Ware says it is hoped that, if approved, the new limits will be in place from the start of the 2014/15 summer. 

Custom car owners help Hospice  by Colin Patterson

Some will be big and some will be loud but they’re all good looking and all will be raising money for a good cause.

 Dargaville Rod and Custom Car Club president Darlene Lang with her Triumph 2000 that will cruise the highways of Kaipara on Saturday’s Poker Car run

They are the hot rods, vintage cars and other vehicles taking part on Hospice Kaipara’s Poker Car Run on Saturday. Pamela Barton one of the organisers says the event is open to all.

It is a drive from Dargaville to the Paparoa Hotel, with stops at Tokatoka, the Ruawai Rugby Club and at The Kauri Museum.

“It’s just a bit of fun. It’s not a race,” says Ms Barton.

At each of the stops participants pick up a card for a poker hand.

“The person with the best hand wins a prize.”

Ms Barton says participants can register on the day, although she says organisers would prefer registrations in advance by calling Hospice Kaipara on 09 439 3330.

The event starts outside the Northern Wairoa Hotel with a safety briefing at 2pm. Vehicles head off at around 3pm and should arrive in Paparoa at about 5pm.

Ms Barton says Hospice Kaipara is grateful for the support of the Dargaville Rod and Custom Car Club, which invited the hospice to join its regular event and use it as a fundraiser. 

Hearty arty initiative  by Joanne Speechly

Milk is king at Maungaturoto School

 by Colin Patterson

Two years after Milk in Schools came to their school as a pilot, children at Maungaturoto School last week celebrated the completion of the programme’s nationwide rollout.

 Labour of love — volunteers meet every Sunday to work in the community gardens

Community Connexions Arty Farties Incorporated is a charitable trust that not only teaches art and craft, as the name suggests, but also helps to feed 29 families in Paparoa and a great many more in Maungaturoto.

Paparoa’s community garden, which was established with the help of the Corrections Department and the community three years ago, is an integral part of ensuring that the two food banks remain wellstocked. Another food bank garden has recently been established on Hook Road.

“We want to be proactive in the community instead of inactive,” says volunteer Anne Shanks. “The

is about the kids and giving them the best start and it is working very well.

“We raise the money for the seeds but soil and time is donated on a regular basis. Because we bulk plant the gardens, we are able to help the food banks distribute produce to the people who need it.”

Anne says she is heartened by the way the community has gotten behind the project, adding that a baker in Wellsford, the Te Hana Orchard, several hatcheries and local shopkeepers all contribute to the food banks when they can.

People can contact Anne on 09 431 6229. 

The occasion was highlighted when a Fonterra milk tanker turned up at school. Principal Shane Campbell says local Fonterra staff and farmers also heard from a few of the children who two years ago were part of a DVD that has gone nationwide explaining to children and teachers how the programme works and how milk benefits growing bones.

After a few games — including gumboot throwing — for the kids, lunch was served for the children and invited guests. And of course, it was accompanied by milk.

Fonterra’s programme manager Louise Aitken says the programme Photo courtesy of Colleen Tunnicliff has proved a huge success and is now happening at 70% of the  Children from Room 5 at Maungaturoto School climb aboard at Fonterra milk tanker country’s primary schools. “This has been a real community effort and we Milk is delivered in recyclable cartons, want to thank everyone for their support. while Fisher and Paykel has supplied All of the Kiwi kids, school monitors, refrigerators to every school. milkmen and staff have made Fonterra Mr Campbell says children at Milk for Schools possible.

Friday, May 23 is Pink Shirt Day — an annual, international event that encourages people to talk about bullying and ultimately, take action against it.

The concept was born in Nova Scotia, Canada in 2007 when a group of students decided to defend a peer who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. In a show of solidarity, many children showed up for school the following day wearing pink shirts, thereby declaring that they cared about what was happening and were prepared to identify themselves as allies.

Organisers of PSD say the most important thing is for New Zealanders to work together to celebrate people’s difference and promote positive relationships. Their key messages are speak up, stand up and stop bullying.

Speaking up recognises that giving voice to a problem is the first step towards addressing it, which means having conversations with friends, family, teachers and the wider community to come up with new ideas and strategies to address bullying. It is also about asking for help when needed.

Standing together means creating allies and one way of doing this is for individuals, schools and organisations to show their support for PSD on Friday, May 23 by wearing pink.

The Pink Shirt Day website offers some great tips on how to get involved www.pinkshirtday.org.nz/get-involved/.

Finally, the stop bullying message is often the simplest and the hardest. However, although it is not always easy to change behaviour, standing up and speaking up are a great start. 

Meanwhile, the Matakohe School children will be making their pizzas and pies this week. To order and support a good cause call the school office on 09 431 7139. 

Maungaturoto’s Cornelia Walker has recently started an over-50s marching team and she is keen to hear from people who would like to get involved.

“At the moment, there are seven of us and we are all enjoying taking part in a different kind of exercise however, it would be great if we could attract some more members,” says Cornelia.

“We practise once a week on Tuesday afternoons from 4 to 5pm and we would love to have some more people join us. No experience is necessary, as we are starting right from the beginning, all it takes is some commitment.”

The year seven and eight children are fundraising for a defibrillator by making pizzas and pies to order. Matakohe School principal Margie Hutchinson says the school is asking for orders and then the children will make the pies and pizzas under the supervision of parent Nadine Hau. The push for a defibrillator is an initiative of the Matakohe Community Group. “It’s been discussed for a couple of years,” says group member Karen Weber. “A few of us did a First Aid course at the school where a defibrillator was demonstrated and we saw what it could do.”

A defibrillator is a device that compresses the heart to circulate blood to all vital organs, and also supplies oxygen to people who have stopped breathing. It can be a lifesaver for people who suffer cardiac arrest, especially in the period before emergency services arrive.

Mrs Weber says although training is available, defibrillators are simple to use. “They prompt you and tell you what to do next.”

She says the combined cost of a defibrillator and a secure storage unit is around $3000. The plan is for the defibrillator to be located in the foyer of the Matakohe Community Hall.

Fundraising has started with a potluck dinner for people in the area to be held in the hall on June 14. Mrs Weber says a local band will

The industry has changed over the last couple of years in some major ways, but the core message from our local qualified tradespeople remains the same. Do your homework — only enlist the best — and make sure you are covered for any eventuality further down the track.

This is all the more pertinent now, with the knockon implications of hiring unqualified and unlicensed workers being felt across the country. Landmark cases in Christchurch and Auckland have revealed that those who have illegal additions and ‘suspect’ plumbing and wiring may struggle with insurance claims — or even with selling their home. Buyers are becoming more canny, and as councils crack down on non-compliant ‘cowboys’ the onus is definitely on the customer to ensure a job well done.

It all starts with a simple question. Many Kiwis are quite shy about asking to see trades people’s qualifications, or even asking for references before they allow them to take the saw and hammer to their biggest asset.

The escutcheon of a top trade organisation like the Certified Builders, or the endorsement of a trade body such as those which govern glaziers or plumbers, goes a long way to ensuring peace of mind. That’s not to say that those tradies who aren’t part of an over-arching organisation are any less skilled and qualified.

flaws, a process of natural selection is already starting to take place, with poor quality ‘subbies’ simply not receiving work, should they not be up to the overseeing authority’s standards.

To put it simply — the rules now state that it is illegal to knowingly hire an unqualified tradesperson to work on your home. Paperwork must be kept above board, or problems can arise when trying to value or sell your home. And if work undertaken doesn’t come with the correct certification, insurance companies may be unwilling to cover your home against some kinds of accident and disaster. Better to be safe than sorry, then, and hire the ‘good guys’ first time round! 

Another vital point arises when the job you want to undertake is a big one. Some people are now hiring project managers for residential builds and add-ons.

Years ago, a project manager would only have been used on a large construction site — but today a PM’s seal of approval means that they have vetted all subcontractors.

Hiring a top builder in the same role offers potentially even greater benefits — if your builder has full faith in the subcontractors he needs to see the job through, you can bet he will have their numbers on call to make redress should anything go wrong later on!

By now many readers will have seen Honda’s award winning ‘hands’ advertisement on television — the quirky, animated story which literally unfolds the Japanese company’s progress through the years.

The message is simple, even though the animation is beguilingly complex — curiosity and innovation have driven Honda to dream big, and to achieve in equal measure.

Now the chance to sample the wares of the international auto giant is coming to Dargaville residents, with a ‘road trip’ of exclusive test drives scheduled to touch down in the riverside town.

It’s an opportunity for Kaipara folk to reconnect with Honda’s product range, sampling the fruits of their research and development labours. And it’s also a chance to see how far automotive technology has come, with Honda quietly confident that they have, at the present moment, a world-beating range of vehicles on offer.

First out of the gates will be Honda’s flagship sports utility, the CR-V. Every

Light Commercials

effort has been made with this latest generation of the popular SUV to combine safety with comfort, power with precision, in a recipe which challenges European elite marques like Audi’s Q series and BMW’s X5.

The first impression of the CR-V’s fourth generation sets the tone — because, unlike the fussy over styling of some competitors, this machine appears slick and consummate, with a bold stance and clean lines. High and roomy, the glasshouse tapers back to accentuate the CR-V’s roofline, blending a subtle door crease with a neat cluster of tail lamps. Inside, luxury levels multiply, and the addition of a multimedia touch screen of generous proportions enhances the feeling of command sitting in the drivers seat.

The key to this vehicle is not mudslinging, hardcore off road power. Like the Accord, Honda’s SUV is subtle and compelling, offering space for the whole family and a five star safety rating for peace of mind.

Go Further

Honda tout the CR-V as having the ability to transform from a sleek executive sedan to a weekend adventure machine, and this would appear to be no idle boast, with ample power delivered by a 2.4L petrol engine mated to either a modern CVT or manual six-speed box.

This is one of the legendary i-Vtec series, successor to the original Vtec engines which powered Honda’s flagship Prelude and Accord ranges in the 1990s. It’s only gotten better with time.

Combine this performance with a smart selection of AWD options, and the new CR-V is well worth a test drive.

Honda will be bringing their latest evolution of the SUV to Dargaville this Friday, and in successive weeks, and they invite anyone who wants to experience the CR-V to book an appointment for an obligation-free demonstration.

Curiosity, after all, is the driving force behind Honda’s innovations. So if you’re curious about what Honda have accomplished, make a booking to find out first hand. 

AUTO

Putting winter auto worries on ice  by Andy Bryenton

Winter is here, with thick fog, slippery tarmac and driving rain delivering a triple-threat to motorists in the Kaipara.

But there’s an easy way to make sure your journeys are safe as you hit the road over the next few months — a little bit of pre-planning goes a long way towards ensuring you arrive alive when the weather turns foul.

First port of call should be where the rubber meets the road — your tyres are all that stands between you and a nasty accident in slippery, wet conditions.

The tread of your tyres is designed to eject water and prevent hydroplaning, so tyres with worn tread are a literal killer. Your local tyres pros can also check wear patterns, tyre pressure and alignment to make sure your car stays on a nimble footing.

The electrical systems of your car take a hammering in the cold, with window demisters, aircon, heaters, and those all-important lights and fog lamps playing a vital role. The health of your alternator and battery are key to this whole system — and remember, modern vehicles need power for their computerised ABS and traction control systems too.

Your battery has to be up to the challenge — with plenty of all important cranking amps to spare. Nothing’s worse than getting ready for work on a cold morning and then finding that the car won’t start!

Brakes and suspension help you to tackle emergency situations such as having to stop suddenly in poor conditions. For these, and for everything under the hood, its a good idea to book a pre winter service, giving your car a clean bill of health and making sure you don’t break down in the pouring rain!

Another thing to consider is security.

Winter is the number one time of year for keys to get lost, or electronic alarm fobs and transponders to get wet. If you don’t have a copy of these ‘keyless’ technologies, you could be stranded — with a huge replacement bill. A good auto locksmith can make you a ‘clone’ before it’s too late, saving big hassles in the long run.

Driving in winter conditions can be a little daunting, but it need not be unsafe.

With a vehicle that’s been serviced and

upgraded where it’s needed, people happily head off to work in conditions of ice, snow and monsoon rain, all around the world. Here in the Kaipara

our winters are mild by comparison, but a little automotive smart thinking can still mean the difference between calm confidence and dismal disaster. 

Local up and comers 5K have forged a reputation for themselves doing the pub circuit at the Northern Wairoa Hotel and the Maungaturoto Hotel, while local Jazz veterans the Joe Carberry Trio have delighted patrons at the Aratapu Tavern’s New Orleans style mardi gras. The avant-garde acts at the Funky Fish have also proven supremely popular, as was the second annual Tokafest at the Tokatoka Tavern.

But this is just the beginning, and local venue owners are always keen to foster local talent. John Collins of the Northern Wairoa Hotel echoes the sentiments of many entertainment entrepreneurs in the region when he encourages budding bands, djs and

KAIPARA LIFESTYLER BOOK REVIEW

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Local author weaves tale of hope  by Andy Bryenton

It’s a hard road from first rough draft to publishing for any novelist. But when the subject of your masterpiece draws on a tumultuous past, the process of editing and recounting events takes on an even more personal aspect.

It has indeed been a long and winding road to publication for Kaipara author Janet Balcombe. Her new book ‘Take a Walk on the Wild Side’ details events from her own past, a self-confessed trip to ‘rock bottom’, and the means by which she found new hope and strength.

Already garnering popular support and great reviews on worldwide bookseller’s site Amazon. com, ‘Take a Walk on the Wild Side’ has found a wide audience and a readership who sympathise with Janet’s tribulations.

Online critics have called it “A very raw and human story of redemption. A must read for anyone caught in addiction and for those already healed.” Now those who eschew the modern Kindle and iPad for traditional paper and bindings can also get their hands on a copy Take a Walk on The Wild Side JaneT BalcomBe

I have recently arrived to the area from Switzerland to join my partner. During my life I’ve cycled the world visiting very poor places, large metropolitan cities and even places where crime and poverty prevail. Never once have I been the target of theft.

I have volunteered to coach the Dargaville youth Soccer team, offering my time, soccer knowledge and help. This Saturday was my first away match with the team so I cycled to town and locked my bike to a wooden post. Members of the team then took me to Whangarei and back to Dargaville by early afternoon. This will be the first and, now apparently the last time I will leave my bike unattended in town.

While I was away somebody broke the wooden post in order to steal my bike.

I really enjoy contributing and helping the local community and I would do this anywhere in the world. It’s very disappointing and frustrating to me and I guess embarrassing to my friends and the soccer club that this would happen.

My ambition was to organise a cycle group that would meet on a regular basis, to enjoy rides with locals and promote the sport.

My good impression of Dargaville has now been tainted and my motivation to help very much reduced.

Chris.

(Name and address supplied)

of Janet’s work, with an official New Zealand launch date set for the 17th of May. The author herself will be at Ellecee’s Cafe, Ruawai from 11am to 1pm, so it will be possible to grab a copy or even have it signed before enjoying coffee and brunch.

Above and beyond high hopes for the sale of this breakout personal memoir, Janet hopes that others will find guidance as well as a gripping story in ‘Take a Walk on the Wild Side’, which deals frankly and openly with issues such as drug addiction, adultery and grief, tracing a pathway from darkness and into hope.

‘Take a Walk on the Wild Side’ is available via Amazon, or in hard copy via www. wildside.com.mx for $29.95. 
