Supporting community developmentKaipara District Council has granted the Dargaville Community Development Board Inc the management role of 34 social housing units in a move that will see the board shift closer to its aim of becoming a selfsustainable organisation.

The income generated from the units located in Dargaville and Ruawai will support paid staff members to oversee the administration of the properties, who will also have spare capacity which can be directed to helping with the boards support role with the Dargaville Business Forum and the Kauri Coast Promotion Society.

This will effectively increase the shelf life of our volunteers, says current chair of the Dargaville Community Development Board, Allan Mortensen.

We will manage the 34 units with the emphasis on achieving the best living environment for those tenants.

We are also there as a support structure for the business forum and the promotion society and will continue to look at other revenue streams so we can be self sufficient and not reliant on grants.

In the past Mr Mortensen says similar volunteerled organisations have experienced burn out in even their most driven members.

People still need to earn a living, so having paid staff that are able to do some of the volunteer work will mean we can achieve more.

Unit tenants gather as the management of 34 social housing units is passed over from the Kaipara District Council to the Dargaville Community Development Board Inc. Pictured from left: Louise Dick, new property manager Gloria Milich, George Macmillan, past Kaipara District Council property manager Brenda Polwarth, Jack Jenkins, Sharlene Hall and Sue Jenkins

Our unit management staff will also assist with organising community projects and essentially make life easier for the volunteers.

Mr Mortensen says the move is an extension of the message recently emphasised by community revitalisation expert Peter Kenyon in a visit to Dargaville.

The past is the window to the future. We need to look at what has worked in Dargaville previously, focus on that and not get caught up in what didnt work.

He believes the success of the former Kauri Coast Development Board, and the Kaipara Community Health Trust, has been largely due to having the resources which enabled those groups to be operational for many years.

The Dargaville Community Development Board is excited about this move and part of its plan is to work together with tenants in a support role and provide the security of healthy homes.

A festive day

Lions lunch honours age

Staff of the Dargaville ASB held a bake sale with a sausage sizzle which raised $280 for the local St John Ambulance service. St John staff and volunteers were on deck selling new toy ambulance building blocks which have been available from ASB banks as part of a fundraiser to buy a new ambulance for the service across the country. The toy ambulances have over 100 pieces and are a great gift for children. They have been very popular and are a great way to support the cause. It was a very successful day, said ASB senior customer service officer Serena Carran.

Some Lion members put on a skit called First Date at the Movies, Santa visited and Jone Yelcich and friends sang a song about life in Ruawai in the old days. This occasion was a great opportunity for old friends to meet and socialise. Ruawai Lions are grateful for financial assistance from a Lottery Board Community grant that enabled them to hold the event.

A generational game by Ayla Miller

Three generations of the Webb family gathered at the Arapohue Bowling Club on December 2, marking a special occasion the 50th anniversary of the Webb Memorial Pairs.

The trophy is a memorial to George Webb who was a founding member of the club.

Later in life when his brother Karl died the trophy was dedicated to both men.

Twentyeight teams travelled from as far away as Kerikeri and Coromandel for the competition which club member Viv Webb says has always had strong support from clubs everywhere.

It was a very successful day and it was nice to have the family coming from afar to take part in the event, Viv said. Georges 91year-old son

Bill Webb was also able to celebrate the memorials anniversary and only stopped playing in this tournament one year ago.

A passion for bowls runs in the Webb family and Karls grandson Rhys Webb travelled from Perth to participate, whilst Georges great-grandson Bevan visited from Christchurch.

The trophy was won by ex Arapohue member Kevin Gainfort of Te Puru, Coromandel and Sandy Foy of Arapohue.

We hope to continue the tradition on for many more years, said Viv.

Carts venture takes off by Ayla Miller

A new tourism venture is ready to roll, and set to bring more tourists to the Kaipara, as three years of preparations and negotiations finally come to fruition.

Dargaville Rail and River, the brainchild of riverboat Daisy operator John Hansen and business partner Dave Selby, officially opened on December 12 and offers people the chance to see the rail tracks from Dargaville to Tangowahine in a way they have never been seen before.

Hopefully it will bring new people into the area. It will be great to see them enjoying the drive and doing something different, says Mr Hansen.

It will give users a completely unique perspective of the area to what they would normally see from the road.

After years of planning and organising, he says it feels good to finally have everything in place.

The pair have leased the lines and obtained a rail licence which is required to run anything on the line.

He says patrons should allow for up to three hours return to cover the 15 kilometre stretch on the carts which travel at 25 kilometres an hour.

After a rail inspection the tracks are deemed up to standard and fit for purpose.

The rail carts sit four people and the driver must have a full drivers licence. The trail will follow a lead car which can communicate with other carts via radio.

Tourists will be treated to a history lesson about the rail lines and Mr Hansen says he hopes the venture will encourage visitors to stay longer in Dargaville.

Hopefully they will stay overnight at a hotel or motel which will create a spin off for other businesses.

There has already been a significant amount of interest and they have been taking bookings long before the lines opened.

We are hoping people will come from out of town specifically to do this, especially train buffs.

Bookings can be made through the Dargaville and Kauri Coast Visitor Information Centre or on their website www.portdargavillecruises.co.nz

Farmers from South America by Ann Morgan

A group of 22 South American visitors stayed at the Commercial Hotel bed and breakfast in Dargaville recently as part of a joint programme with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, learning how New Zealand dairy farmers get good production from their cows.

It is a four year project targeting small to medium dairy farmers in the high tropics of Colombia South America aiming to improve their productivity and quality of milk on farms for a better standard of living and helping make the country more self sufficient, said host Maria Duter.

The group visited the Northland Agricultural Research Farm in Dargaville to see how New Zealand farming is similar to theirs. Due to the high altitude where they come from, the grass that grows there is Kikuyu Pennisetum clandestinum, which is also widely spread across Northland.

It was a great day out with them on the farm and it was a huge learning experience for them to see how we manage our pasture. They really enjoyed learning how its possible to manage a Kikuyu system and were looking forward to taking back some of our practices

and putting them into action in their own country, said farm manager Karla Frost.

Ms Duter said there are many experts across different areas of farming in New Zealand sharing their knowledge in all areas of farm systems from business to feed growth, cheesemaking and marketing.

A farm over there can consist of five cows, the average is two or three. The farms are like 1920s New Zealand, they are still milking by hand. This project is to help them adopt improved practises and the end result will be profitable with the local community benefitting.

The farmers work very hard to leave a legacy for the generations to come and the information our country is giving them is very practical in helping them achieve better results.

It was great visiting Northland, they had a really good time here and learnt lots of valuable information, she said.

The group of Colombian farmers interacted with the a group of local singers whilst staying at the Commercial Hotel on their farming expedition to New Zealand

Biotoxin shellfish warning by Ayla Miller

The Northland District Health Board Public Health Unit have issued a public health warning, urging the people not to collect or eat shellfish from between, and including, Mitimiti north of the Hokianga harbour, to Pouto at the entrance to Kaipara harbour.

Shellfish collected within the area have shown the presence of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning toxins, above the regulatory level. The symptoms of paralytic shellfish poisoning include numbness and tingling around the mouth, face or extremities, difficulty in swallowing or breathing, dizziness and double vision.

In severe cases, paralysis and respiratory failure can occur within 12 hours of consuming shellfish.

Cooking the shellfish does not remove the toxin. Anyone who becomes ill after eating shellfish should see a doctor or phone Healthline for advice on 0800 61 11 16. For emergencies, phone 111 for immediate medical help, says Northland district health board medical officer Dr Clair Mills.

There is a regular monitoring programme along the coastline in New Zealand that is managed by the Ministry of Primary Industries.

There are trigger levels in the water that we use to determine what is happening. When the trigger level is elevated a warning is issued as

shellfish concentrate the toxins. They filter water at large volumes so that is why they are the most unsafe thing to eat when there are toxins around.

Dr Mills also reminds people to be careful of shellfish they may have collected in the last week and put in the freezer.

It takes a few days for the test results to come through. We did have a slightly elevated trigger already in the first week of December so it is important that people are aware of that.

Similar cases have typically lasted a couple of weeks and sometimes longer depending on the weather and the tides.

Northland District Health Board will monitor the situation and advise of any changes.

Members of the public with queries about shellfish safety may call: Whangarei Hospital on 09 430 4100 and request the on-call Health Protection Officer.

Further information is also available on www.foodsmart.govt.nz


History transformed by Ann Morgan

After three years of negotiations and renovations, Mangawhai Artists Inc now have a home to call their own. The building which was originally the museum in Mangawhai village now proudly displays local artworks.

We have repainted the exterior to fit in with the surroundings the library and village hall. It has been lined and painted and we are ready to kick off and officially open to the public on on Saturday December 19, said committee member Cliff McPherson.

The group of 103 members have been proactive in promoting and providing their own sense of ownership of the project and a good number have been getting together and had many working bees and scrubbed, painted and renovated to get it all ready. He says the community have started to take note of the changes and are appreciating that the building has a new life.

I have lived in Mangawhai for over ten years and have seen many changes. There is quite a buzz around here

and the market which happens to be outside our building makes the whole atmosphere very vibrant.

The gallery is opening with an exhibition of small works by members of the group and will have a real sense of unity as each small work is the same size. This can be a challenge to some artists but it also drives your creative sense of experimentation and adventure.

This is the first time Mangawhai artists will have their own space and throughout the year there will be group and private exhibitions on display.

It will be operated on a volunteer basis and we are very excited. This is absolutely great for Mangawhai. We have turned a bit of an ugly duckling into a beautiful gallery.

Members of the Mangawhai Artists Inc Marie Reid, Ailsa Dennis, Jean Fountain and Cliff MacPherson adding the finishing touches to the renovations for the new gallery opening

Kiwi author earns accoladesB O O K R E V I E W

From sleazy streets in downtown Asian cities to the idyll of island life in New Zealand, the settings in the book City of Storms are described in such detail they remain vividly imprinted. Someone should buy the film rights it would be a fabulous movie.

Amazon book reviewer Verily Annabel has joined others in praise of author Paul Campbells new novel City of Storms, now available in e-book and print form.

I spent 16 years in Asia and pretty much lived the research for the book, Mr Campbell says.

It is set against historical events so its a balance between fact and fiction.

I leave it up to the reader to decide which is which so it is a bit of a modern twist on those historical novels out there. But it has surely received support on line.

Reviewer D Bryenton wrote: A human drama set against the backdrop of social upheaval, and a cast of characters who are thoroughly real, totally engaging and who are shaped by the culture which author Paul Campbell has expertly depicted. This is the good stuff. Five out of five stars!

M C Poole added: City of Storms brings to enthralling life the city of Manila as the Marcos regime

crumples, a vibrant street culture most of us pass by on the other side of the road, and the semi-detached existence lived by the foreign correspondent, one foot in the palace, one foot in the gutter or the camp of the freedom fighter. There is love and sex and bathos, yet through it all Paul Campbell keeps a finger on that essential pulse the human spirit so beautiful, so tough, and so frail. Well done.

Festive birthdaycelebrations for museumA sold-out gathering of supporters and residents enjoyed an afternoon of bubbles, baubles and song to celebrate the Mangawhai Museums first full year of operation.

The bubbles were used to toast not only the success of the first year but also to drink to the success of the museum into the future.

The baubles were amongst display of mostly handcrafted Christmas decorations made by locals and there were promises of something special planned for next year.

The museums first year of operations has been successful with many groups booking their outings with us and our in house cafe, Jessies. Next year we are hoping to become more involved with the local schools as we are in the process of setting up a

wonderful education programme, said museum manager Emma Gray.

Society president, Christine Bygrave acknowledged Emmas work in her address and thanked all the volunteers without whom the Museum could not operate.

The year saw the first special exhibition which highlighted the sinking of the Niagara. More exhibitions of this type are planned with the next one due early next year.

Plans for Mangawhai Park and the Historical Village continue to take shape forming an attraction that is hoped to benefit Mangawhai as a whole.

The Do Re Me quartet gave a concert of classical and traditional carols at the Mangawhai Museums first birthday celebrations

Win for brigade member by Ayla Miller

The votes are in, the donations counted and long serving Dargaville Volunteer Fireman Gary Murdoch has won over the people of Dargaville, awarding him the prestigious title of Dargaville Person of the Year 2015.

Dargaville Person of the Year creator Erica Tebbutt says, Gary is a very deserving recipient of the title this year. Everyone has recently celebrated his 50 years with the Dargaville Fire Brigade and this is a brilliant way to acknowledge his amazing contribution to our community.

He is a great leader that sets a great example to all of us. As Gary represented the Dargaville Fire brigade, they will receive the profits from the event which will be presented next week.

The total amount raised will be $300. A cheque of $300 will go to the

Dargaville Fire Brigade to help keep the brigade up and running.

Gary is very humble and a great character. We really appreciate all he does and even though hes accomplished 50 years of service, he still keeps coming to the station and we like that, said chief fire officer Jeffrey Palmer.

He is generally an all round good character and fully deserves this award, he is really well known around the community, not just with the fire brigade but with many community organisations. It is a pleasure working with him.

Lighting up the street by Ayla Miller

The Horseshoe Cafe, Takeaway and Dairy owner Jolene Morris, is lighting up Hokianga Road with her extensive Christmas lights display.

Jolene decided to decorate her store last Christmas and has now expanded her collection.

This year Ive added a lot more lights. They are all over the front of the shop and inside the windows as well.

She says her motivation came from enjoying the lights herself but mostly does it for the kids.

I enjoy people coming to admire them. I dont do much for Christmas because I dont get to have a holiday, so putting the lights up is my thing.

She typically starts her display on December 1, although she says it took her a little longer this year due to sheer quantity.

Ive had lots of people coming in and commenting on them.

People drop in when they are driving past and see them. They sometimes

stop me in town and tell me they look good too.The slight increase in her power bill doesnt worry her a bit as she

says the lights create a buzz amongst her customers and even attracts new ones.

The Horseshoe Cafe brightens up the street with owner Jolenes colourful Christmas display

A time for givingThe Dargaville Cake Decorators Club joined together to spread happiness and Christmas cheer by donating handmade and decorated cakes to the community and help give a boost to the food parcels which will be given out by the local foodbank.

The club have been gathering together for 27 years now. We have 10 members at present and together we made 23 cakes. We meet once a month and others interested are welcome to join us, said club member Maxine Stringer.

Foodbank co-ordinator Millie said Its absolutely fantastic to receive the cakes.

We really appreciate the club making this donation. It will make the food parcels we give out that much more special this year. We are sure the receivers will like the added touch and appreciate the effort the ladies have gone to.

Anyone wanting to join the Cake Decorators Club can call Lyn Miers on 09 439 0751

WISHING ALL KAIPARA RESIDENTS A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON

A trailer full of joy by Ayla Miller

A trailer load of Christmas joy was delivered to Kaipara Abuse Prevention by the Kaipara District Council, in the form of gifts for less fortunate families, donated by the community and council staff members.

Kaipara Abuse Prevention manager Simone Matthews says the act of generosity has been humbling.

In this industry we are often asking for support and funding so it has been great to be chosen in this instance, she said.

It is a reflection of the great work that KAP have done over the years and indicates that we have been raising our profile.

The initiative was spearheaded by KDC staff member Missy Hokai, who wanted to to spread some festive cheer to local children in need.

Simone says the gifts will be distributed to families that KAP work with when their volunteers go on visits.

We will acknowledge that they are from the community as it is important that our families know their community cares.

We recognise Christmas can be a difficult and stressful time for families

KDC staff members Paula Hansen, Jessie Wordley, Darlene Lang Gent, KAP coordinator Bethne Smith, KDC staff member Annie Frost, KAP manager Simone Matthews and KDC staff member and project founder Missy Hokai

and these gifts will help parents feel as if their children arent missing out. They will be able to celebrate Christmas like many other families.

Kaipara Abuse Prevention would sincerely like to thank the council and staff for initiating this project as well as members of the community who donated items.

Parade fun in the sun

The sun was out and so were the crowds as the streets of Ruawai were lined with colourful and creative floats for the towns annual Christmas parade. Here Ruawai JMB Rugby players greet their supporters in the parade of 17 floats. Taking the lead was the fire van and police with Santa bringing up the rear in the fire engine. Northash Farms Ltd was awarded the prize for the best float which came complete with farm dog, children decked out in farm safety gear and a green tyre Christmas tree.

Kaipara Health Services Community UpdateNorthland DHB and Dargaville Medical Centre announced new joint arrangements for healthcare in the Kaipara that commenced on 1 October. Here are some frequently asked questions and answers, for your information.

DOES DARGAVILLE HOSPITAL HAVE AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT?

Dargaville Hospital does not have an emergency department. If you are very unwell, require complex investigations such as CT scan and/or specialist input you will be transferred to Whangarei Hospital regardless of the hour of day.

ARE THE SERVICES AT DARGAVILLE HOSPITAL BEING REDUCED?

No. Dargaville Medical Centre has struggled in recent years to recruit GPs who are willing to work after-hours and be on-call to the hospital. Dargaville Medical Centre has notified Northland DHB that it is no longer able to provide the day-to-day and overnight care of Dargaville Hospital.

Northland DHB agreed to take back responsibility for medical staffing at Dargaville Hospital so the community can be reassured that all services will now be sustainable. The Northland DHB Dargaville Hospital contract started on 1 October.

The new model is actually an increase in service because there will now be a dedicated hospital doctor available in addition to the current GP on call and it will provide a sustainable hospital model rather that the existing system which has been shown to be unsustainable.

The DHB and Dargaville Medical Centre are committed to the people of the Kaipara. With Northland DHB agreeing to take back responsibility for medical staffing at Dargaville Hospital the community can be reassured that all service will now be sustainable. The Northland DHB Dargaville Hospital contract started on 1 October.

WHEN CAN I SEE A DOCTOR AFTER-HOURS?

As well as their normal Monday to Friday GP clinics, Dargaville Medical Centre will continue a three-hour clinic on Saturdays and Sundays and retain the 24/7 after-hours GP service. The first point of contact of all health concerns during the day or after-hours will remain through Dargaville Medical Centre on 09 439 8079 where you will be put through to the triage nurse.

WHAT IS ACTUALLY CHANGING?

Admission to Dargaville Hospital will occur as usual between the hours of 7am and 10pm. After 10pm all patients requiring admission will be transferred to Whangarei. There will still be a GP on call for healthcare provided in the community, usually from a GP or practice nurse. There is also a doctor on call for the hospital inpatients and any emergencies that require stabilisation prior to transfer to Whangarei.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT LOCAL STAFFING? WILL ANY JOBS BE LOST?

The DHB is committed to ensuring safe staffing levels at Dargaville Hospital which will create some extra employment in the area. In order to protect the medical staff from professional isolation it is likely that the Medical Officers will undertake some duties in other Rural Sites, not work exclusively in Dargaville.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO SEE A DOCTOR AFTER-HOURS?

There will still be a charge for seeing a GP after-hours. If a patient is picked up at home and taken directly to Dargaville or Whangarei Hospital and sees the hospital doctor there will no doctor charge. If you call an ambulance from your home the standard ambulance charge will apply. If you are a member of the St John Supporter scheme then emergency ambulance transport to hospital is free.

WHAT IMPACT HAS THIS HAD ON DARGAVILLE ST JOHN AMBULANCE?

St John Ambulance, the Northland DHB and Dargaville Medical Centre continue to work closely together as the new model evolves. Regular meetings focus on addressing issues resulting from these changes as they arise. Our priority is to ensure patient safety and the delivery of a patient-centred service.

For unwell, unstable or marginally sick patients ambulance officers are able to contact the On Call GP for support within the Dargaville community.

There has been no change to the care we provide in the case of time critical and seriously unstable patients. The hospital doctor is available on call to assist with emergency stabilisation at the Dargaville hospital prior to transfer to Whangarei.

There is also no change for patients located outside the immediate Dargaville township area, ambulance crews are able to call on ambulance advanced life support teams, either by road ambulance or via the rescue helicopter, to assist with stabilising and transporting time critical patients to Whangarei Hospital.

There has been an increase in the average drive time for incidents between 10.00pm and 7.00am. This increase potentially exposes the Dargaville area to longer periods with limited local ambulance cover.

However, since 1 October there has been on average one transfer per week directly from the Dargaville community to Whangarei Hospital, between 10.00pm and 7.00am which is less than the one transfer every three days we had estimated.

It should be noted that had these patients been transported directly to Dargaville Hospital several would potentially have required subsequent transfer by ambulance to Whangarei Hospital.

Every effort is made to have fully-crewed ambulances available. In the event that an unstable patient requires urgent transfer and there is only a single ambulance officer available, Dargaville Hospital has undertaken to release a nurse to ride with and support the patient on route to Whangarei Hospital.

Some instances have been reported where patients have refused transport once they realise it means they will be taken directly to Whangarei instead of Dargaville Hospital. While patients have the right to refuse transport, they must realise this places ambulance crews in a very difficult situation, especially if St John has already provided treatment that they may need to monitor.

Ambulance officers always aim to act in the patients best interests. If their advice is to go to hospital, or as an alternate, be seen by the On Call GP, then we strongly advise patients to do so. Failure to do this not only places the patients health at risk, but also increases stress levels for the ambulance officers as their protocols focus on the best care (and destination) for their patients.

In December St John will be providing their 111 Clinical Hub service in Northland which helps connect patients to the right care at the right time. Non-urgent (not serious or immediately life threatening) issues can often be managed faster which is better for the patient and also frees up ambulance resources to focus on the urgent and life threatening incidents.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR THE LOCAL KAIPARA COMMUNITY?

The local community is benefiting by having dedicated hospital specialists and senior medical officers providing their hospital care. These doctors are also available to assist in emergencies which will increase the emergency response capacity in the region. These doctors are employed by Northland DHB which increases the pool of medical staff who are available to provide cover in Dargaville making the roster more sustainable and safer.

Remember, if you are feeling unwell please try and seek medical attention as early as possible so that medical staff can provide the care you need in a timely manner, and help prevent you getting worse. Please call Dargaville Medical Centre on 09 439 8079 to be put through to the triage nurse. For minor to moderate ailments call the Dargaville Medical Centre on 09 439 8079 to be put through to the triage nurse. For emergency and life-threatening conditions, please phone 111 and ask for Ambulance.

A U T O S & M A R I N E

Generous start to a cracker summer by Andy Bryenton

Its all about community groups helping each other thats the message which the Northern Wairoa Boating Club are promoting with a seasonal donation to Saint Johns Ambulance staff.

The keen boaties raised over $600 for the first-response heroes at Dargavilles ambulance station through their recent trivia night, and thats just the beginning of a big calendar of events planned to spice up the summer on the water.

Commodore Rodney Wilson is pleased to announce a full dance card of nautical fun, designed to raise the profile of the long-established club and interact with other boating groups around the Southern Hemispheres largest harbour. Kicking off on the first of January, the club will re-instigate a fine Kiwi tradition the multi-species fishing contest. Anglers will vie to land the biggest catch with rod and reel across a variety of elusive and tasty

fish such as gurnard and snapper. With a cost of only $15 for adults and $5 for kids, this competition will last until April, making this summers fishing a lot more interesting.

As the new year rolls around, the club will be preparing for their annual regatta. Theyre looking to attract a record number of boats of all kinds for this fun day on the February 6, with pennants flying in the breeze, and of course some obligatory celebrations when its time to drop anchor at the end of the day. This stirring sight reminiscent of the

days when the river was thronged with traffic is a bit of a contrast with that other fine Northern Wairoa Boating Club event, the seagull race. Tiny horsepower and a big helping of courage help these diminutive craft navigate from Ruawai to Dargaville on a twohour course.

The Commodore and all club members wish their fellow boaties a safe and happy holiday on the water this year, and invite new members to join their fraternity, taking advantage of the facilities they have established here in Dargaville.
