Legal action begins on rates  by Colin Patterson

The Kaipara District Council has taken legal action to recover unpaid rates in the wake of protests from Mangawhai ratepayers objecting to increases to pay for the town’s budget-busting wastewater scheme.

Cancer centre becomes a reality

Northland has done it! It has taken three years but the Jim Carney Cancer Treatment Centre is open …

Those non-payers have now been issued with summonses to appear in court.

Among them are Mangawhai Ratepayers and Residents Association chairman Bruce Rogan and his wife Heather.

If payments are not received, the court has the power to authorise the council to seize and sell property to recover outstanding rates.

Mr Rogan said the High Court had ruled that the rates were unlawful, except that they had subsequently

been validated by parliament in a Bill sponsored by Northland MP Mike Sabin.

However the association had appealed that judgement to the Court of Appeal. continued on page 3 …

The Dead Lands This highly anticipated story follows a young Maori warrior on a path of revenge, questing into the forbidden ‘dead lands’ to seek the aid of a legendary fighter who can help him conquer his enemies. After a rival war party devastates his home and kills his family, he sees this course of war and horror as the only option to redeem his honour. But is vengeance the real answer?

Stunningly captured, and produced entirely in te reo Maori (with English Subtitles), this is a must see Kiwi film.

Aranga Halloween fun

Get on Up

The biography of funk and soul legend James Brown, the man who brought the sound of African-American music to the mainstream like never before. Following his troubled childhood, his time in prison, and his ‘conversion’ to a life of music through singing in a gospel choir, this is a raw and real look behind the enduring myth of funk’s godfather’

Pride

In the darkest days of Margaret Thatcher’s Britain, during the ‘84 miners strike, an unlikely alliance between a group of gay and lesbian activists and an old fashioned Welsh mining town develops, with triumph resulting from this clash and co-operation of cultures.

 The kids at Aranga School were ‘super excited’ about their Halloween party and their imaginative outfits were testament to the effort they put in to mark the occasion. “They’ve been on about it all week,” said one parent, “and they did a great job of decorating the school hall too.”

New Sport Northland chair looks ahead  by Colin Patterson

… continued from front page

Legal action begins on rates With a hearing date unlikely until next year, Mr Rogan said it would have been more appropriate for the council to hold off until an appeal court decision.

Council chair of commissioners John Robertson said the High Court ruled the rates were valid and had declined to issue a stay of proceedings while the association pursued its appeal.

“People who are ratepayers need to pay for the public services they

use. It is only fair to everyone else that people pay their rates.”

Mr Robertson says about 200 property owners have been issued with summonses as a last resort.

“We would prefer people pay their rates voluntarily. If they don’t, the council has no option. But if they pay up, that would bring the matter to an end.”

Mr Rogan said he had ‘no intention of paying’ and was meeting his lawyer to prepare a defence. 

Council Corner

 New Sport Northland chairman Chris Biddles

Mr Biddles has been deputy chairman of Sport Northland for 12 years. But last week he was elected chairman after former incumbent Richie Guy stood down at the organisation’s annual general meeting.

He is believed to be the first Kaiparabased chair of the organisation, although its chief executive Brent Eastwood was born and brought up in Dargaville.

Mr Biddles is a nationally recognised breeder of bulls from his Te Atarangi farm on the Pouto Peninsula, about 20km south of Te Kopuru.

His involvement with Sport Northland began in 1992 when he was part of a group that set up a Dargaville local committee. “We were five or six people in a room brainstorming ideas.”

Mr Biddles was elected to the Sport Northland board in 2000 and became deputy chair two years later.

At school Mr Biddles was interested in athletics, doing the long jump and the triple jump and being a member of the school sprint relay team. “I was a reasonable runner.”

He has also had a long standing involvement with the Southern Rugby Club.

Mr Biddles says he wants keep Sport Northland focussed on what has made it so successful. “I want to continue to get Northlanders more active. I also want a reduction in obesity.”

One of his first tasks in his new position was to present the Kaipara Sports Awards on Friday. 

Cancer centre becomes a reality  by Joanne Speechly

Northland has done it! It has taken three years and a whole lot of hard work but the Jim Carney Cancer Treatment Centre is officially open.

 Local representatives James Foster, Northland District Health Board member Debbie Evans and Jill Ramsey at the opening of the Jim Carney Cancer Treatment Centre

The state-of-the-art facility, based at Whangarei Hospital, will begin operating from mid November thanks to collaboration between Northland DHB and community fundraising initiatives, led by The Northland Community Foundation.

The new centre will provide significantly more space, privacy, multidisciplinary meeting areas, designated areas for children’s treatment and room to grow for the future.

Named after the late Whangarei businessman and philanthropist, the

Jim Carney Cancer Treatment Centre, is the result of a vision, which became Project Promise and raised over $3 million. Northland DHB funded the other $2 million needed to make the cancer centre ‘promise’ come true.

An invitation-only ceremony was held last Friday to thank sponsors and was attended by Dargaville’s James Foster, representing Freemasons Northland, and Jill Ramsey, representing Northern Wairoa Lions club and Northern Wairoa Scottish Society. A public open day was held on Saturday. 

Journalist - Kaipara Lifestyler We are seeking an industrious reporter with community curiosity and a flair for writing stories about people and places. Today’s electronically generated information systems have lost the plot when it comes to dealing with community news, which requires some old-fashioned journalism from a people person with a contact book, a camera, and a nose for news that doesn’t necessarily involve chasing fire engines.

What is going on in local sport, in school activities, clubs, associations and drama clubs?

What’s new in town - is that a new and innovative business enterprise?

And what is local government doing?

Who is that local achiever? The list is endless.

Call it grass roots stuff, and you’d be quite right. But these sources produce stories that matter to the community you’ll serve. If this sounds like you, and you have your eye on a really satisfying career with loads of opportunity contact us.

MOVEMBER SUPPORTING MEN’S HEALTH Throw out the shaver for a cause What began as a fun way to raise awareness of men’s health issues by a group of Aussie mates has become a very serious yearly event.

This year’s Movember is bigger than ever, with participants — called ‘mo bros’ — cultivating their facial hair in a sponsored attempt to become the most hirsute before the end of the month.

Money raised goes to programmes fighting prostate and testicular cancer, and to tackling men’s mental health issues, as well as general men’s health awareness.

There are plenty of locals growing the mo this month, so pledge your support by offering a few dollars to the cause.

You’ll note that even the Maungaturoto Hotel has grown a huge wooden ‘stache as part of the campaign!

To join up or to make a donation to this very worthy cause, please visit

nz.movember.com/donate. Or, if you’re a mo bro yourself, email a picture of your efforts to roper.jones@xtra.co.nz — the proud mo bros at Dargaville’s First National Roper and Jones Real Estate are offering a Samsung Galaxy tablet as a prize for the mo they judge as most impressive! 

Traditional Kiwi fun in the sun  by Andy Bryenton

There are few delights which compare to waking up under canvas on a clear summer’s morning — the smell of the sea, the promise of freshly brewed coffee, and the lure of a day’s fishing ahead.

It’s the quintessential Kiwi holiday — one which has been lamented in the media as beachfront camping grounds are gobbled up by greedy developers,

but one which is truly alive and well here in the Kaipara. Thankfully, the days are long gone when camping out meant three hours of dad swearing and struggling with ropes and pegs. Modern technology, gleaned from decades of outdoor adventures, has made camping under canvas as comfy and hassle-free as renting a motel. Even those who don’t go to extremes — packing the xbox and laptop — can enjoy insect free cool comfort on those balmy summer nights.

Part of this comes down to modern tents — a far cry from their thick, airless ancestors. Lighter materials mean they’re easier to pack, and designs honed in the wilderness in countries far less forgiving than New Zealand make for easier setup, more internal space and better ventilation.

There are even ‘pop up’ tents for single campers, bivouac bags which provide shelter and warmth for adventure hikers, and tents to shelter the camp privy or shower. Hunting and Fishing Dargaville will soon showcase the latest in outdoor living, in the old Mitre Ten building on Normanby Street — look out for it in the next week or so.

The campfire itself has been replaced in many ways by the good old BBQ —

CAMPING

SALE!

 Modern camping is worlds away from the mosquitoes and collapsing canvas of yesteryear

though even this is no longer a bulky, wood-burning monster.

Turning your catch — or a packet of sausages — into a gourmet meal under the stars is made easier with light, collapsible gas cooking facilities.

And for those who prefer the old fashioned taste, charcoal BBQs and fish smokers have also been streamlined and improved with time. With the addition

of smart outdoor accoutrements such as pop-up cupboards, insect repellent oil burners, solar recharging lights and chilly bins which stay cold for longer, the modern campsite has all the conveniences of home.

But it’s got something home can’t beat — the smell of salt surf and freshly cut grass, and a great fishing spot just a short walk away. 

Global success for Business winners small car selection establish Dargaville presence  by Andy Bryenton

 by Colin Patterson

The phenomenal success of the Ford Ranger ute here in New Zealand is just part of the bigger picture for the global car maker.

The winners of Northland’s top business award are making their presence felt in the Kaipara through the purchase of a well-known Dargaville marine business.

And it’s at the other end of the size spectrum that Ford are chalking up the accolades in 2014, with their selection of small vehicles forging ahead with new technology and popularity.

The Focus has been confirmed once again as the world’s top selling car, with massive sales of the versatile 5-door hatch in the emerging mainland China market, as well as a strong showing in Europe. Meanwhile, the EcoSport is proving to be a well-received ‘little brother’ to the likes of the Ford Territory and Kuga, with its entire initial production run sold ahead of schedule. They love this economical, nimble little SUV in India, where harsh conditions require true toughness. And it’s a popular choice here, too.

The ‘jewel in the crown’ of Ford’s small car range has to be the feisty Fiesta ST, just released as a three-door hatch and looking lighter and slicker than ever. The Fiesta range comes with a host of options, including three-time global award winning engine of the year, the revolutionary EcoBoost 1 litre powerplant which sips a mere 5.9L per 100km, yet delivers 134kW of power. 

Marine North owners Paul and Tania Dunn from Whangarei were last month named as supreme winners in the 2014 Westpac Northland Business Awards.

They were also the winners in the medium-sized-business category.

In September the Dunns took over Northland Boating, and it’s a return home  Paul and Tania Dunn celebrate their success in the Northland Business Awards with Ian Hankins (left) from awards sponsor Westpac for Paul who was brought up in Dargaville, while Tania’s family is from this area, although she and provide more services.

Big fun in a pint-sized package  by Andy Bryenton

A look at the roll-call of Honda motorcycles through the years reveals a trophy cabinet of big names — Fireblade, CB750, NSR250 — even TV doctor Greg House couldn’t resist the ‘Repsol Special’.

But now the Japanese auto giant has decided to scale things back a little, taking a leaf out of the four-wheeled supermini book. On the premise that more fun can be had at two thirds the size, they have released the new 2014 Honda Grom, a 125cc four stroke machine with all the features of their bigger road racers in a funky little frame.

That doesn’t sound like a lot of mill, but modern compression and electronic fuel injection controlled by a cutting-edge computer mean that this little firecracker gives plenty of bang for a small amount of bucks. That’s both to buy (the Grom sits under the $5,000 mark brand new) and to run — as you can imagine, such a small bike sips petrol with a straw.

Tucked down, flat out, the Grom will propel an adult sized rider to speeds which would just entice the boys in blue on the open highway. But it’s not

open-throttle stuff that gets the blood pumping aboard one of these diminutive machines. It’s the sheer handling finesse of a bike which weighs — and moves — like a steroid-infused BMX. Make no mistake — they really are racing them in Texas (check out the Grom Challenge at the Hallet motor racing circuit on YouTube). But this is a bike designed with attitude and freedom in mind. Learners and student riders take note — this is a bike you can literally drive into an elevator, park in your bedroom, fuel on loose change and throw about like a stunt rider from TV’s Nitro Circus — there are rumours on the internet of some of these bikes being retrofitted with grind pegs. How much fun can a peppy little 125 be?

Check out the link for a glimpse of the new urban sport — Gromkhana — youtube.com/watch?v=6SVKlG9Iiak.

The Grom is a bold move by Honda, who are banking on it’s cheer ability to stir all things raucous and feisty in the human soul.

While this is by no means a competitor for big, tarmac-belting road bikes like the aforementioned Blackbirds and CBRs, it is perhaps, dollar for dollar and kilo for kilo, the single greatest amount of fun you can legally have while fully clothed.

And that’s an achievement worth taking a look at, especially if you are looking toward getting a motorcycle licence this summer.

What better way to learn than on a bike that doesn’t even try to mimic the big, lumbering cruisers of your mates — but would have even the staunchest proponent of one-ton chrome choppers begging for a turn? 

Holiday highways beckon  by Andy Bryenton

With summer sunshine replacing winter rain, many folks are turning their attention to holiday preparations this spring, gearing up for a journey to scenic, seaside vacation spots.

While the Kaipara district itself boasts many such natural gems, attracting tourists from all over the world, there’s still something to be said for hitting the open road, especially if all the comforts of home can come with you.

Campers, RVs and caravans are all popular choices for holidaymakers, as evidenced by LTSA figures which show a growing number of Kiwis opting to get out from under canvas and slip behind the wheel of something more substantial. But this time of year, prior to loading up and heading for the sun, it’s a good idea to give the family ‘land yacht’ a thorough once over, for reasons of comfort and safety.

Of course this begins with the power plant — that big diesel which lurks beneath most RVs, though some of the bigger American units are still driven

by V8 petrol grunt. If you’re towing, it goes without saying that the brakes, transmission and engine of your tow car have to be in top order. As these holiday vehicles may very well have been in winter hibernation, it’s also prudent to check the tyres for pressure and wear, and give the battery a proper test as well.

With the WOF done, it’s time for an electrical inspection — to legally hook up to many camping grounds’ facilities, a caravan or camper needs an EWOF, meaning that its onboard wiring is up to standard.

Caravan and camper fires don’t just ruin holidays, they can be deadly, so a current electrical warrant is vital for peace of mind.

It’s the same for the array of pumps, plumbing and gas lines fitted to most

recreational vehicles. With fresh water and wastewater piping similar to that of a full-sized home, there’s a whole lot to check, with nasty results if a fault goes unseen. Gas powers everything from stoves to fridges to water heaters in RVs and caravans, so any work on this sub-system should be appraised by a qualified gas fitter.

It’s a lot of work ‘recommissioning’ a caravan or camper, especially if your presummer schedule calls for a complete refit or renovation of an older model.

But the results are just so rewarding — a sense of freedom on the open road, the opportunity to stay in places where motels and room service are a distant memory, and the sure knowledge of a leak-free roof overhead should inclement weather strike.

Taking the time now to make sure your ‘ship of the highway’ is ship-shape will mean a better holiday experience for the whole family this summer. 

Before you check in to the campground - Let us check out your camper’s gas & plumbing. Don’t get caught out this holiday!
