for the highest execution and artistry scores.

When asked what her first thoughts were when she won the cup Maia said: “It felt like I deserved it. I went in thinking I had to do my job like every other competition.”

Maia’s comfortable win at NZ Gymsports National Championships puts the cherry on top of a very successful competitive year for her.

To compete at Gymsports Nationals she had to reach a qualifying score at a minimum of two sanctioned competitions.

The qualifying score depends on the level or step at which a gymnast enters.

When the heats were held on Thursday, October 1, the top athletes, who made it into the finals, competed again on Saturday, October 3. In order to compete Maia had to travel to Auckland and back three times in one week.

Maia belongs to Aspire Aerobix, a sports aerobics club with a studio at St Johns in Auckland and every school holiday she goes down to Auckland to attend workshops there. When she competes she is regarded as representing Auckland.

“Maia did a fantastic job. She won firsts all year and wasn’t beaten once.

She is an Energizer bunny,” said Maia’s instructor Amy Nield, owner and director of Aspire Aerobix in Auckland.

Arty kiwi characters win residents' hearts Kiwi Heather Hunt of Urquharts Bay Rd, Whangarei Heads lives on the edge of the bush, up a small slope, overlooking Urquharts Bay, where she produces marvellous illustrations.

She is an artist, illustrator/designer, “remedial” photographer and is a member of the Whangarei Heads Landcare Forum (WHLF) group Backyard Kiwi Project.

Heather is a champion for kiwi recovery and her efforts for Backyard Kiwi have really served the project well.

Like other residents at Whangarei Heads, Heather, who had never heard a kiwi, thought there could not be many around. Then, in 2000, people were becoming aware of kiwi and some locals started pest control, trapping possums, rats, mice and stoats.

The Whangarei Heads Land Care Forum is part of a national organisation which basically helps people to improve their backyard environment by dealing with pests and weeds. Working with Heads locals it supports their pest control efforts. As more people came on board, the estimated 80 kiwi on the Whangarei Heads peninsula in 2009 climbed to a possible 200 kiwi in that area.

Heather has just launched a Free Range Kiwi tea towel in her online shop, to add to the free range collection and for every tea towel sold a percentage goes to the Backyard Kiwi Project.

However, the consequence of that was more kiwi deaths, with many run over on the roads and dog attacks still prevalent.

It seemed to local forum members a lot of people really didn’t know there were kiwi free-ranging on the peninsula and wandering literally in people’s backyards.

To make the community aware of the birds’ plight, in 2009 forum secretary Helen Moody, thought of Heather’s artistic skills. She approached Heather on behalf of the WHLF in 2009.

“Landcare Forum took a very lateral approach and asked me to help create

In Matakohe-Limestone Island ranger Bernie Buhler's arms, Tindall the kiwi settles down.

For the rest of the time Maia practises in Whangarei. Her parents hire a hall at Tamaterau during the week so she can practise her intensive floor routine, to gain strength and flexibility. At home, beforehand, she does half an hour of

stretches, warm-ups and conditioning.

“She is a lovely, very motivated young girl. Although she is not training [at the club] very much she is a part of the club and has many friends in the club. Maia is very supportive of other athletes, cheering them on while they are competing.” Amy said.

Maia began her gymnastic career with artistic gymnastics which involves short

awareness of kiwi roaming in our backyards,” Heather said.

First it was agreed to change the group’s name which was the Whangarei Heads Land Care Forum Kiwi Management Committee to something shorter and catchy.

“I suggested the Backyard Kiwi because that’s what it’s all about. So [the Kiwi and the kiwi] living alongside each other,” Heather said.

Backyard Kiwi it became and Heather started to sketch kiwi. She worked really closely with project Manager Todd Hamilton, who basically manages the kiwi recovery aspect of Backyard Kiwi. This included valuable hours walking in the bush with Todd, “while he talked about kiwi and I have learned far more about kiwi after listening to Todd as I tramped up hill and down dale, than anywhere else.

“I attribute a lot of the understanding that people see in my kiwi drawings to those hours listening with Todd.”

Heather did hundreds of drawings of kiwi over two to three months. Todd would come come and look at them and and tell me what he thought,” she said.

“He was my best and my harshest critic.” The day she drew the calling kiwi, they both looked at it and knew she had nailed the backyard kiwi.

“He [calling kiwi] has been a really important part of the success of the kiwi recovery on Whangarei Heads peninsula,’’ Heather said.

She has since come up with five more kiwi characters to join him in the recovery campaign.

Their silvery images, drawn on a black background, appear on a range of diamond-shaped reflective vinyl road signs strategically placed where kiwi cross the road around Whangarei Heads. When caught in the beam of an approaching headlight, the luminescent kiwi rise out of the dark to warn drivers they must watch for the birds.

There have been six kiwi deaths on the road. Although tragic, according to Heather “for us that’s an amazing indication of an expanding population,” she said.

“So, it’s phenomenal and I would really like people to understand, here is

routines on various apparatus but when she discovered aerobic gymnastics she knew that was what she wanted to do.

“She is definitely one to watch. She has that X factor,” Amy said.

Raised and living in Onerahi, Maia was a pupil at Raurimu Ave School.

She attends Whangarei Girls’ High chool in the Regent.

Onerahi Orbit – November 2015 – Page 6

Bringing home da bread 'n' bagels

Four days a week, if it’s sunny, around 10:30am, Rand Axelrod of Onerahi, sets up his roadside stall for homebaked goods. On weekdays he can be found on Riverside Drive but on Sundays he sets up at Tamaterau.

He bakes wholemeal bread, bagels and brownies for sale, warm and fresh from his oven.

In his white chef’s tunic and sporting a white hat, a sort of beekeeper’s hat crossed with a capello romano in style, he’s ready to meet the day’s customers and their questions and make some sales.

He’ll tell you anything you want to know about the mysteries of sour dough yeast culture, “captured from air” and how gluten plays a role in getting a better rise by taming the chaff. Ask about his bagels and Rand stands by his “authentic ‘New Yorkstyle’ bagel”.

Rand and his partner Dr Robin Plumer are Americans who left the Philadelphia area in the United States to come to New Zealand. After a while they began to miss their daily bagels: “What happened ... first of all, we couldn’t get a decent bagel in this country. So we learned how to make bagels and after that it was bread and I decided to see if I could sell it.”

He peels back the covers on two large wicker baskets. From one a heady baked aroma floats above a cluster of loaves of seed-flecked wholemeal bread shining bronze gold in the sun. In the other lie his specialty, home-made bagels.

They are all hot from the oven.

“I don’t make a quick bread,” he said. “I use brown sugar,

A road sign says ‘there’s still time to bring home the bread (and bagels)’. molasses and malt to feed my yeast, to activate it, add flour It’s a sunny day and Rand Axelrod and then knead the sets up his roadside stall on dickens out of it,” Riverside Dr. with optimism. before leaving it to double in size, then he punches it down and forms it into loaves.

To make it unique, Rand slows the process down.

“The slower the dough ferments, the more it produces exotic flavours”. As a home brewer he learned that yeast develops flavours under different temperatures and that started him thinking about cold-ageing. ►

So he set up on the roadside at Riverside. At first, he had a few people interested and he would sell a few loaves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just kept doing it. At first it was just breads and then it was bagels and then I added slice. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kinda how it all got going and people started to hear about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to try and be roadside for no more than four hours, however, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much according to the day. Like, I never do Mondays because people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to stop and I can spend six hours on the side of the road and still come home with something.â&#x20AC;?

FAR RIGHT: The bowl on page 11 is of a rare green kauri timber.

Turning spent trees into treasure When wood turner Clive Ihaka, 81, of Parua Bay retired at 60 he had his mind set on carving bone but in time he found his thoughts turning towards working with wood once more.

With a home-made lathe he progressed from there, turning out a range of wooden ware and accumulating myriad pieces.

Fifteen years later he had quite a collection.

“Yes, well you get to a stage, you get so much stuff you’ve got to do something,” he said.

So he visited a cooperative up in Kerikeri taking with him a box full of his turned wooden items. He hoped some of it would sell.

He met a woman there and said to her, “Just take what you want” and she said, ‘I’ll take the whole box’ ”.

Clive had now established an outlet and he travelled back and forth to Kerikeri often, each time with his latest load of turned-wood treasure.

In 2003 Glenda Fergusson, who was involved with the Arts Quarry, transformed the former fish museum premises at the Town Basin, with help from a few others, including Clive, into a light, spacious gallery called The Bach.

Glenda formed a cooperative of about 100 talented Northland artisans who now had somewhere to display their work and a centrally situated outlet in which to sell their pieces.

Clive is not the only wood turner in the Onerahi/Whangarei Heads area: “Oh no,” he said and lists Rupert Newbold, at Ocean Beach, who makes ancient kauri bowls and boards, ►

Clive Ihaka won first prize in the vase section of the Northland Wood Turners and Woodworkers Club’s competition on Wednesday, November 18.

Club members attended a prize-giving dinner which was held at the Kamo club.

The segmented vase he entered is made from purple heart, island kauri and New Zealand kauri. Murray Kell of Maungakaramea won the overall Members' Choice Award for his coffee table entry.

Kiwi’s world opens up to Kiwi kids Kiwi – the real story by Heather Hunt and Annemarie Florian was inspired by the six kiwi characters Heather had created for the Backyard Kiwi Project.

After she had drawn her six symbolic characters for the kiwi recovery group, Heather thought they had the potential to reflect how the birds really live.

“I approached Annemarie and asked if she would like to have a look at them and what she thought of them and she was excited and came back with a draft manuscript,” Heather said.

Annemarie wrote the text and Heather spent a year designing and illustrating the book. It was published by New Holland in 2012 and is now on its third edition.

The book offers a delightful insight into the world of the kiwi, its stances, habitat and its character and the whole account takes place in the night, kiwi time.

The short, rhyming couplets use words of varying difficulty but fun to try and say. Heather has given some words shaded outlines to create the effect of movement.

The kiwi is portrayed with gimlet eye and sharp lines, and bands of condensed alternating penstrokes in greys, white and black, giving an authentic-looking texture to their feathery coats.

'Scorpion Pose' from Her kiwi are highly expressive Heather Hunt's Yoga creatures and there is no doubt Moves collection. they are determined little characters

with minds of their own, going about their nocturnal business.

In 2013, Heather and Annemarie were recognised for their unique and clever publication when they won the following prestigious awards and recognition.

Their book, KIWI the real story, won the Storylines Notable Book Award 2013, the New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards 2013 Winner Children’s Choice Junior Non Fiction and it was a LIANZA Children’s Book Awards 2013 Russell Clark Illustration Award finalist.

Heather is holding an exhibition entitled Yoga Moves at the Newday Cafe at Parua Bay shopping Centre. It is a series of prints “interpreting my experiences in the yoga studio, in a humorous style’’ Heather said. It will run from December 6 to January 18.

Fomli steps up war on pest invaders

If you live along the Onerahi foreshore, more than likely you will have come across Friends of MatakoheLimestone Island rat trappers Ross McKenzie and Michelle Martin who are helping to keep the island free of unwanted pests.

The 500m distance between Onerahi and Limestone Island is easily swimmable by rats and stoats, which could have a devastating impact on the island's wildlife. A network of stoat and rat traps is hidden on properties along Beach Rd and Weir Cres. and in 2014, 116 rats and 58 mice were caught.

Since the trapping began, residents have benefited from an increase in bird life and improved fruit and nut crops.

Rodents will continue to re-invade Onerahi and MatakoheLimestone Island. You can help to support this project by trapping or poisoning rodents on your property. Volunteer trappers are also needed.

involve a lot of study. They wanted to construct these wetlands to slow, filter and cleanse stormwater discharge, and run-off, which was polluting the land and adjoining harbour.

Their wetlands would have to be robust enough to deal with storm water from the western side of Church St from Raumati Cres through to Handforth St. The land was originally owned by Bertie Hodgson, and was part of his dairy farm. The other half had been subdivided off during the late 1960s for housing. The development included Raurimu Ave, Ngaio St, Cresta Place, Hodgson St and Raurimu Ave School grounds.

The pieces of land were on separate titles and the remaining parcel of land on the Ngaio St side continued to be a plum and peach orchard. When Mr Hodgson became ill and died the land was left to a trust.

Originally, this land was sold to a building firm, United Homes, which planned to build a housing subdivision. Jeremy said the company “bulldozed it [the land] clean and trialled plans for a 73house subdivision ... that was around ’98-’99”.

Part of the subdivision was built; Portside Way and Starboard Way appeared on the hillside and four houses on Ngaio St completed. Later when the remaining land was put up for sale, Jeremy and Pam tried to get the Whangarei District Council to buy it. They failed to do so and a couple of years went by before it came up for auction.

Jeremy talked to the lawyers: “We negotiated a price and it [the land] didn’t go to auction.”

He paid a deposit but the land title was not cleared until 2004. At the time he owned the Bicycle and Outdoor Adventure Shop, so he was tied up on both counts and the land had to wait. “There wasn’t much point in starting on it,’’ he said.

Then in late 2006 he sold his business and the following year “we started clearing the land”. It took a 160-horsepower tractor and 40 hours’ work to clear the basically flat land below sharply rising hillsides. All undesirable vegetation was pulverised with a heavy-duty mulcher mower.

In 2008 Jeremy and Pam completed an ecological study, a management study, and finished a management plan and a restoration plan.

Onerahi – your wetland sanctuary needs you When Jeremy Busck and Pamela Winter turn on the sprinklers, spring water from their Dragonfly Springs Sanctuary washes the wetland water rates bills away forever.

Look, said Jeremy, uncurling his hand to reveal the timer that would complete the line to his water-pumping system.

Now it is inserted the couple can save around $500 every 6 months on water usage.

They are pumping pure, potable water from a spring in the hillside 33 metres up to a 5000-litre header tank for all the Onerahi sanctuary’s water needs. With the new valve, water will gravity feed from the tank back down to the irrigation system at the native plant nursery.

About 11 years ago Jeremy and Pamela were able to purchase an expansive 6-hectare apron of land below their house down a right-of-way off Church St. It was covered in 3.6 metre-high gorse and pampas grass and they envisaged restoring the degraded and depleted farm land to a thriving, functioning ecosystem once more.

Their vision was to create a storm water cleansing wetland sanctuary which would be no mean feat.

It would require enormous energy, time and money and

A rocky gross pollutant trap removes rubbish and debris from incoming water before it heads into the wetland. ... Continued from page 15 At the end of 2008 a geology check was done on the land and a series of 18 holes dug, each with a 400 ml capacity.

Sixteen of them filled with water.

“We wanted to know the geology of the land for making the lakes and the soil structure,” Jeremy said. They found mainly a mixture of marine mud, clay and silt, which, he says is good because it means the heavier silt sinks to the bottom first to form a base, then the clay comes down and forms a skin over the base.

Dragonfly Springs Sanctuary is a banded sub-surface wetlands emptying into Whangarei Harbour via the Waimahanga

It is called a constructed wetland as a wetland hadn’t existed there before.

In March, 2009, diggers stripped and stockpiled the top soil, dug out and formed several lakes and returned the top soil to the lake beds. It took nearly five months to complete the contours, the digger operator with Pam’s guidance creating the curves for the ponds. Then bands of reeds were planted in the wetland ponds and around the pond edges.

To maintain a wetland, Jeremy says, it’s important to establish incoming and outgoing flows of ground and surface water.

So it was necessary to control the fluctuation in water levels to ensure a regular water level is maintained.

The wetland design included installing grass-lined swales along the Ngaio St boundary to help dry out bordering properties, improve and remove sediments, nutrients and pollutants.

Jeremy says traditional stormwater drains behave more like water blasters, carrying pollutants, silt and debris to the sea.

Rocky outfall separators have been built to sieve the water and collect debris like bottle tops, plastic bags and cans.

Jeremy and Pam have set up four rocky gross pollutant traps, each consisting of rocks stacked on a layer of mud mat. These trap rubbish and debris in water that enters the site before it reaches the wetlands to minimise the amount of sediment getting to the wetlands as well.

Over a 12-month period they recall taking 60 ride-on mower trailer loads of pollutant material and silt from just one gross pollutant trap. However, these traps cannot stop harmful chemicals from passing through to the wetlands’ environment.

So the water then goes through a fore bay which is like a settling pond. ►

Onerahi Onerahi Orbit Orbit -- May May

Want to get involv Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your chan

â&#x2013;ş Some wetland plants like sedges, reeds and oi oi [salt water marsh] use their roots to draw certain contaminants in and then render them harmless before releasing them into the water. Other contaminant chemicals sink into the wetland soil layers and are broken down by bacteria and other microorganisms into harmless components.

The couple has also put bridges, fords and paths around the area and created a fish passage in the back of the sanctuary.

Jeremy wants to install a 300-metre boardwalk, a viewing platform/lookout, bird watching hides and an information centre.

But there would be no show without plants and Pamela orchestrates an impressive plant propagation programme.

She raises thousands of plants grown from collected seed as well as cuttings. She remembers using a square metre of potting mix in just one week.

When they were first planning the wetlands Pamela asked Jeremy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;But where will we get all the plants from?â&#x20AC;? And he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are going to grow them.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had always bought my plants from Palmers and I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any idea how to grow native plants,â&#x20AC;? she said. Now she is growing plants not only for the wetlands but for other organised restoration projects as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had small plantings at the end of 2009 with the Onerahi Primary School and we did a little bit of planting with Raurimu Ave School,â&#x20AC;? Jeremy said.

Then, in 2010, major plantings took place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Sunday, June 26 we had our first Open Day and people came. We had an excellent response and about 60 people brought spades and planted 2000 young trees.â&#x20AC;?

They have been planting ever since with the help of Onerahi Primary School students, volunteers, groups from the Corrections Dept and community work parties.

However, as Jeremy said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;planting is magic and fun but necessary maintenance is boringâ&#x20AC;?. Planting is only the beginning. It is a labour-intensive project and requires many hands to make it work.

Six regular volunteers offer their services to the project, most of whom come from outside Onerahi.

Jeremy and Pamela would love to see the people of Onerahi take ownership of the wetlands sanctuary.

They would like to place the wetlands in a trust but Jeremy said he would like the trustees to range in age so the trust contains a mix of wisdom and experience with youthful exuberance and new ideas.

Dragonfly Springs Sanctuary attracts between 40 and 45 bird species including banded rails, fern birds, bitterns, warblers, morepork, ducks and spoonbills, sometimes up to 16 spoonbills at a time. Frogs are in abundance and a scientific survey revealed the waterways host a very healthy eel population.

Despite all efforts to fence off the wetlands, cats still prowl the area and have been seen taking ducklings away. Dogs running loose are the biggest headache though, Jeremy says.

He would love people to fence their properties and keep their unsupervised dogs secure. A couple of rogue dogs have found entry through a weak point; he said and they also kill ducklings.

One dog, he said, has been coming in for 18 months, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch the blinking thing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too smart. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had ducklings for the last two yearsâ&#x20AC;?.

Jeremy and Pamela decided to drop leaflets in 400 letterboxes around the area saying they were trapping for cats and â&#x20AC;&#x153;if your cat goes missing, call the SPCA as they were dealing with any cats caughtâ&#x20AC;?.

They have caught about six cats so far, a couple of ferals, four strays and one with a chip in it. The owner hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen their moggy for over a month and was overjoyed to get it back. Two others were sociable cats and the SPCA found them homes.

The couple have just installed a 40ft container which will be converted into a kitchen/lunchroom, information centre, meet and greet place for open days. It will have a 6m x 4.8m deck added. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jacque Lowe

Dust settles on dance of the loos

A spanking new toilet block destined for Sherwood Park, Onerahi waltzed around the park a couple of times before it settled in the corner where the flame trees grow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on paper, that is.

WDC field officer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Waste and Drainage Grant Alsop released an email confirming, after many discussions and letters back and forth, the Sherwood Park toilet block â&#x20AC;&#x153;will still be on the front boundary but on the left-hand side of the front boundaryâ&#x20AC;?.

Earlier, ORC members at a meeting on October 22 had raised concern that the placement of the toilet block parallel to the road would obscure the Community House from public view, from the road. The group after much deliberation and site selection requested the toilets be placed behind the Community House.

Earlier the council had met with OCA members who approved of the council move to place the toilets on the front boundary, opening onto the sidewalk.

The council decided that from the community safety point of view the toilets should be placed on the front boundary, left of middle, close to the sidewalk, for easy public access. The toilet block will be located side on to the road with the doors opening onto the park rather than onto the footpath.

ORC chair Agnes Hermans said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is a reasonable outcome given all the factors and the pressure to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;get the job doneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and I am happy that the presence of the toilets will be slightly less dominating than [the position] originally planned.â&#x20AC;?

It has been necessary to remove two well established flame trees to clear the site and Mr Alsop said there should be some progress in a couple of weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The toilets are going to be arriving just before Christmas.

We will be installing a twin cubicle toilet block, each cubicle is disability friendly and one will have a babiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; changing table within it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be working with the community regarding the graphics on the outside, hopefully along the lines of the park activities, there are really cool skateboard photos that I hope are considered but it will be a team effort on the final mural design,â&#x20AC;? Mr Alsop said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am hoping that we will be able to have the toilet completed for the New Year, provided things go to plan,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jacque Lowe

Second hand shop does roaring trade the Onerahi Shopping Centre, in September.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no shortage of customers, she said. People keep coming and going in waves and most leave the shop clutching discovered treasure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sold three single beds this morning, three coffee tables yesterday ... itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moving out as quickly as I put it out on display,â&#x20AC;? she said.

If you hesitate over an item chances are it will be gone when you come back but Elaine has a three-year lease on the building and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly likely another will surface, at some point.

She said she has a lay-by system for customers and likes to put the odd free stuff out at the front of the shop too.

Hot coffee and hot chocolate can be bought at the counter and her home-made cards are another speciality she adds to her selection of goods for sale.

Although she used to run a rubber stamp shop in Auckland she had never run an outlet for second-hand goods before. A mother of four, she said she and her family decided to leave Auckland and move North. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;I have lived in Onerahi for 9 years.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; She said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was at home wondering what to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; decided to open a second-hand shop and then this became vacant.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jacque Lowe

OBITUARY: Cecily Caunce (Bub) Clark (nee Hawkes)

Kindness recalled and a love for life Cecily Caunce Clark, affectionately known as Bub, was born in Onerahi on October 10, 1928, the youngest of eight children in George and Lillias Hawkes’ family.

She attended Onerahi primary school which was located on what is now the Onerahi Aerodrome.

Aged 13 she went to Whangarei High School and afterwards took up nursing as her career. Bub was in the first intake of trainee nurses to be taught at the Prelim

school in Epsom, Auckland in 1947.

She graduated in 1950 and was employed in the first group of nurses to work in the newly opened Orthopaedic Hospital at Middlemore in Auckland.

Bub spent many happy days boating, fishing and exploring around Rat, Rabbit and Limestone Islands as a child and at Christmas time she would row her boat up and down beside what’s now Beach Rd, singing Christmas carols by torchlight for the residents.

Tough times were endured during the war years as most of the men in the family were overseas for the duration.

Onerahi Aerodrome was used by the armed forces and the airforce would conduct bombing practice, dropping simulated bombs on Rat Island.

In 1951 Bub married Tim Clark (deceased) and after stints in Kaitaia, Opotiki and Waipu they returned to Onerahi; firstly, to Church St and then they moved to Beach Rd where Bub resumed her fishing, rowing and exploring around the harbour she so loved.

Acccompanied by her children and grandchildren but she always insisted on rowing. Bub discovered ways of catching fish with no lines – specifically john dory which got stranded in rock pools.

Bub worked as a nurse in the Onerahi Medical Centre for 22 years, from 1972 until her retirement in 1994. As a result she knew almost everyone in the area.

Retirement didn't mean taking it

Crib walls could be a joy forever

Vice-chair of the Onerahi Community Association Bob Smith believes the approach to our township from Whangarei is drab and lack-lustre.

Grey crib-walls, concrete and dowdy clay banks sprouting grass that flank the road at several OCA vicepoints do little to please the eye, he said. president “I am concerned about the approach – bridge to library – coming into our town.

Bob Smith Several concrete block crib retaining walls are seeks an eyesore and the grass bankings could be solutions to cheer up crib improved upon,” he said.

Inspired by the efforts of the Onerahi walls along Foreshore Association’s endeavour to “spruce the entrance up” the Beach Road area Bob said he wants to way to try and do something to improve the entrance Onerahi. to Onerahi.

He would like to meet with other Onerahians who are interested in making a difference in this area, “to see what ideas we can come up with to help brighten up this entrance to Onerahi.

Anyone who is interested can get in touch with Bob on 436 3681.

“Give me a ring and let’s see what we can achieve,” he said.

Each school had an Primary School KapaHaka group. opportunity to showcase their talents.

The KapaHaka performances were impressive, showing passion and enthusiasm. The students looked amazing in their uniforms which were unique to each school and with their moko designs.

It was a picture-perfect day and there was a variety of food for lunch – hangi, fried bread, chop suey, seafood chowder, baked goods and barbequed sausages. It was a successful community event, which it was agreed would continue next year and when it will be hosted by Parua Bay Primary School.

BUS TRIP TO WAITANGI: On the following day the whole school went to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds to further extend the children’s cultural experience and understanding of the use of Te Reo. It was fortunate that the children were able to see a KapaHaka show by some very talented performers who delivered a powerful display of indigenous culture. The group performing promised everyone an ice-block if they dropped a rakau stick during their show. However, they missed out as the group were flawless in their performance.
