A large congregation at Holy Trinity Church, Maungaturoto welcomed the Reverend Rodney Dunlop in a special service on July 3rd as the new Vicar of the Paparoa Parish. The parish includes Paparoa, Maungaturoto, Kai-waka and Mangawhai. Archdeacon Noel Derbyshire, deputising for the Bishop of Auckland, who unfortu-nately couldn’t come due to illness, preached at the service and installed Revd Dunlop into his new posi-tion, assisted by Mr John Blythe, Lay Archdeacon of Whangarei. During the service Rodney was presented with a range of different symbols, signifying the variety of ministries of the church, which he promised to fulfil with God’s help. Representatives from different parts of the parish and different denominations in the area offered their support and loyalty. Rodney comes to Northland with over 40 years of experience in Christian ministry. After immigrating to New Zealand from England in 1959 to take up dairy farming, he was ordained to the Anglican ministry in 1968, and has had ministry positions in the Waikato and Nelson Diocese in New Zealand, as well as serving in the Diocese of Salisbury in England. In 1998 Rodney was asked by the Bishop of Egypt and North Africa to serve as a chaplain to the expatriate community in the city of Alexandria, Egypt, a city of 7.5 million people. While there, as well as serving two English speaking congregations, he established two Arabic speaking congregations, a congregation for Dika speaking Sudanese and began a school for Sudanese refugee children. On returning to New Zealand he served as Vicar in

the Parish of Picton and the Sounds, moving to Golden Bay in 2006. Rodney says he is already very impressed by the friendliness and level of caring he has found in the community and looks forward to be-ing able to make a contribution to that.

Pt Chevalier Community Library - Submissions close 15 September Did you live in Point Chevalier during the 30s, 40s or 50s? If so, the staff at Pt Chevalier Com-munity Library would like to hear from you! We are seeking reminiscences of life in Point Cheva-lier during this time - including memories of days at school, radio plays, methods of transport, the Ambassador theatre, fashion and shopping. These will be collated and turned into books available from Pt Chevalier Community Library for loan or purchase. We would prefer handwritten submissions, and have packs of paper at the library to distribute to contributors, but are more than happy to accept recollections by email as well. For information contact [email protected], Phone 09 374-1322 (press 0). (If you are wondering why this is in Matters -- many former Pt Chevalierians live in the area.)

While fairytales delight people of all ages, they are more appealing to adults when they stray from traditional story-lines. Into the Woods, currently being performed by Otamatea Repertory Theatre in Maungaturoto, is one such telling. The first act takes various tales and characters – Red Rid-ing Hood, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk and the wicked witch – and adds a couple desperate to have a child. They all achieve their goals but after being depicted living happily ever after, a marauding giant sends things awry. Into the Woods, by Stephen Sondheim, is complex musi-cally and has many characters and scene changes. In many ways it’s perfect for a regional theatre as its a large cast and allows many performers and support crew to participate and extend their abilities. On the other hand, it’s challenging; this is acknowledged by director Peter Flower and musical director Maura Flower. Strong performance skills are required - many actors sing solos – and, from a promotional perspective, it can’t be pi-geonholed; it’s not a traditional musical and, while funny in parts, it’s a morality play rather than a comedy. The stage sets are exceptional, in particular the backdrop of a rural village. All the costumes are outstanding too, with special mention to the wolf, the ugly sisters and step-mother, and the witch. Most acting performances are relatively strong. The blonde curls of Little Red Riding (Ellen Aikin) contrast with her feisty character. Wicked step-mother Sally Taylor is equally contradictory as she fawns over the prince, and the witch, Penny Goodall, is bewitching with and without magic powers. She and the princes, Garth Preston and Karam David, put in especially strong singing and acting perform-ances. At times the piano music seems intrusive, and the rhyming lyrics clearly stretch some of the cast. The direction and production teams, including the set and stage teams and the costumiers, excelled themselves. Into the Woods is an impressive achievement by an amateur group which also does its share of crowd pleasers, includ-ing an annual pantomime which this year will be Never Mind Mother Goose. Into the Woods will be performed at ORT’s theatre at Maungaturoto Country Club at 7.30pm on Thursday, July 31 and Friday, August 1, and at 2.00pm on Saturday and Sunday, August 2 and 3, and at the same times the follow-ing weekend - finishes August 10. Tickets cost $25 and are available from Garnett’s Electrical in Maungaturoto and through www.iticket.co.nz. Rae Roadley.

Into the Woods - a work of art


The Church of which Christ is the Head is alive and well. The presence of the Pope in Australia sets aflame, not just the Catholic form of Christianity, but it flames the very essence of the fact that there is a huge “following of Jesus” in the world and encouragingly, among the Youth of the World today. The multitudes of pilgrims enthused by the presence of the Pope have made outright declaration of their commitment and their faith in Jesus Christ. If the Pope is the earthly symbol of Christ as the Head of the Catholic Church, then the love for the Pope, the joy of the presence of the Pope and the great attraction to meeting the Pope will be magnified when the whole Church of Jesus, made up of every Christ believing born-again man, woman, young person and child, meet the True Head of the Church, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church may look thin in some places but that does not speak for the growing increase in people from every nation redeemed by the blood of the Lord Jesus and are now embracing life as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, it is true that Christians have faults and failures and many do not live up to the standard of righteousness and holiness expected of them (a criticism often used as an excuse by those who do not want to be part of the Church). But the truth of the Gospel, the Good News of the Lord

Jesus Christ is about Repentance and the Forgiveness of Sin (Luke: 24: 46 “He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations”). Those who find Jesus find Repentance and Forgiveness of their sins. That is what the Mass, the Communion and the Lord Supper celebrates. That car sticker that says “Christians are not perfect, only forgiven” is the joy all Christians. Christians are sinners redeemed by the Blood of Jesus, forgiving and being forgiven, people with so many hurts and bad stuff in their lives on the mend by and through the Love of the Lord Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit to journey through life overcoming those things that could so easily destroy life. A great following of Jesus have passed on from this life over all the years that have passed. The great youthful fol-lowing seen today can only speak of a Church that is ever increasing even in times ahead. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 16: 18 “…I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” The power and the increase of evil will not overcome the Kingdom Christ is building. We might as well follow Jesus since the victory is His and can be ours in Him.

Christian Comment


Maungaturoto’s Wastewater Plant upgrade is on tar-get to be completed over the summer construction season. The work involves a sophisticated membrane filtration plant which will be installed after the existing oxidation pond to ‘polish’ the pond effluent to a high standard, almost completely free of bacteria and other patho-gens. Five tenders for building the plant are now be-ing evaluated. Tenders have also recently been called for the civil construction component of the upgrade and have at-tracted good interest. This involves site preparation, earthworks, pipework and construction of a tidal dis-charge storage pond to hold treated effluent for re-lease on the first two hours of an outgoing tide. A site meeting has been held with parties interested in the earthworks/civil component to familiarise them with the project. The civil tenders will close early in August and they, along with those to supply the Mem-brane Filtration Plant, are likely to be decided in Sep-tember. The design of the storage pond has been amended - including changing the shape from oblong towards square - to suit a number of geotechnical issues. Also, a suitable nearby site has been found on which to deposit excess soil from the earthworks and an agreement has been concluded with the owner, the Maungaturoto Country Club. A consent for the earthworks involved in constructing the storage pond, access track and other site prepa-ration is currently being sought from the Northland Regional Council. When that consent has been granted and DoC has consented to the project, the KDC will purchase land at the Country Club and com-mence work. - Kaipara District Council Press Release

Here we are in the depths of winter. I love fires and cosy evenings but the other good thing is that spring is just around the corner. The Golden Oldies Lunch on the 2nd July was a smaller group than usual (because of the cold weather) but the entertainment from the Young Ones from the Christian School was heart warming and lots of fun. About 10 of our Lovely Oldies came to the Community House on the 16th for morning tea and a chat, with Pat Hunt telling them about her recent trip overseas. Next Golden Oldies Lunch is on the 6th August with morning tea on the 20th. If you would like to come and/or need a lift please give us a ring on 431 9080. TOOL BOX Glenda Blythen is going to facilitate a Tool Box course for parents of children 6 to 12 years. There is usually a cost to this course but Otamatea High School Adult Education is funding this for the commu-nity. The course is for six weeks on Tuesday evenings at 7pm to 9.30pm at the Community House. I can as-sure you it will be a stimulating and fun time. Some of the subjects covered are: How to parent proactively? How can I build my children’s self esteem? How do I pass my values on to my children? If you would like the opportunity to attend please give me a ring at Homebuilders number above. Blessings from the Team Denise

Its 2am, and here I sit writing the column. I can’t sleep with so many things going on in my head and so little time to do them. Then I thought about that old saying about what do you do between 2am and 3am….so here I am. I want to talk this month about the wonderful team of peo-ple we have at Linking Hands. We recently had our first AGM - and a great turnout I might add, out of which we have a committee of 12 dedicated and committed people. This kind of response continues to blow us away and brings us to the realisation of how lucky we are to live in such a caring and community-minded district. The new committee is fired up and looking at developing new strategies and more efficient ways of working. We are also looking to better market and spread the word about how we work and who we are. Let me tell a couple of little stories that have been keeping me awake tonight, with smile on my face I must add…. They’re about friendships. We have been taking a client to a day group for the Alz-heimer’s Assoc. Our normal driver was ill on this last call out so we sent another driver. The first thing he did was forget the pick up time and arrive an hour early. On arriv-ing at the meeting place they let themselves in, made a cup of tea and got comfortably settled. He did however remem-ber to leave the client there for daily activities to be picked up in the afternoon. The driver again forgot the time struc-ture and arrived early to find the Alzheimer’s group enjoy-ing a rhythm and blues musical moment. He joined in, plus had a round of ball throwing and did the other exercise ac-tivities that were going on. He had a thoroughly good time and if he wasn’t quite so forgetful maybe he could join in again. The usual driver was a little put out that he hadn’t been able to make this run and wanted to hear how the trip went and whether the client was okay with another driver. You see what I’m getting at here - it’s the relationship build-ing and the ownership of the clients. We have another driver who has become friends with HIS client so that HE always takes HIS client to ………wherever. They now en-joy a coffee together before they leave to go out and the driver doesn’t really want me to send anyone else to pick up his client…because HE’S HIS client. We even have cli-ents now asking for certain drivers because they have got to know them and feel comfortable with them. It’s sharing these moments with our volunteer drivers that touches our hearts and brings a smile. It’s great to hear the hint of someone feeling good, knowing they are needed and being able to give this gift to someone else who needs it. That is the reward; it’s all about tucking the blanket around the legs on a cold day or walking a client into an appoint-ment and being there for support. To feel the client relax a little with the knowledge that someone is with them and will be waiting to take them home afterwards. Some clients are becoming regulars and this is great as we are getting to know each other and understand their needs. We are also becoming friends. To some clients we feel very privileged to be thought of as friends, as due to their isolation or cir-cumstances they don’t often have friends. Some people have told us we have been the first people they have spo-ken to for weeks…isn’t that sad? I want to remind you again that there is no age restriction

for clients who can be from 0 to 100 and beyond. They just have to live in Kaipara and have a health related appoint-ment. We can take you with baby as we have a new baby car seat and a toddler seat. We also have a new wheel-chair, so can cater to suit a variety of needs. We also have a pushchair we can lend if you need it. So please remember we are only a phone call away to help to get you to that dentist, doctor, optician, nurse, phar-macy, Plunket, health day group, clinic, diabetes check, hearing checks for kids…whatever you need to get to…we will help. Watch out for the next edition of the Matters as we should have our new marketing plan developed by then and will be offering a more extensive service. Its now 2.53 am and time I went back to bed, so good night for this month and keep safe and warm for August.

Thanks

I would like to publicly thank Brooks Motors for the bus trips they have provided for our conven-ience to shop, or just to have a day out. This service is available to anyone, and especially enjoyed by older people who have no other way of getting around. We really need more to take advantage of this service. How about coming along. It is well advertised and only $20 to Whangarei. The driver Les usually is so helpful and does everything he can to make the day enjoyable. Do help make up their numbers to keep this service continuing.

“LANDINGS” by Jenny Pattrick A New Zealand story of days gone by set on the Wan-ganui River and about the people who made their homes on its twisting length – from an ex-convict, nuns, Maori families, farmers, Chinese and Bridie, around whom the story revolves – what is her secret? Recommended Non-fiction : “AGENT EXTRAORDINAIRE” by George Martelli The story of a Frenchman, Michel Hollard, one of the great heroes of World War II. He was an amateur spy acting for British intelligence providing vital information on the Ger-man V.1 missile programme and accredited to “saving London”. He was later awarded the highest British honour which can be given to a foreigner. A truly exciting and inspiring story. Reminders: Overdue books can be brought in and reis-sued – don’t leave it too late – 3 weeks can go so quickly. Also it is not too late to pay your current 2008 library fee of $10. Jigsaws can now be issued to non-members of the li-brary.

On Wednesday, 16 July, Garden Club members met at Fluffy and Stu Duff’s orchid farm for a meeting. The Garden Club programme for the year was pre-sented and we were then shown around the orchid houses.

The colour and variety of the different orchids were just breathtaking, with orchid colours from pale pink, white on pink to dark purple. There were also many different shades of yellow and greens. We were also able to watch the orchids being packed ready for export in the packing house. The members were all most impressed with the ob-vious attention to detail and work involved to bring the beautiful orchids to their stunning best. On 20 August the meeting will be in the Community Hall at 1.00p.m. Our speaker will be the sculptor and landscape designer, Rudy van der Pol.

In a good year, August is the time to begin planting the spring garden for vegetables, flowers and fruit. In the vegetable garden, work in compost and if the beds are cold and wet, the compost will be valuable for planting out later. Prune early flowering shrubs as soon as they have finished flowering. Finish pruning roses, tie climbers and manure. Fertilise the base of fruit trees being careful to keep the fertilizer away from the trunk and water in well. You can transplant citrus trees if you wish this month. Spray peach trees. Give blood and bone to your strawberries. Your bulbs such as daffodils, jonquils, hyacinths etc should all be in bloom. Carefully cultivate around them and weed.

out!

The August markets are on Saturday the 2nd, 16th and 30th, 9am start. The market early in July was a wild and windy ex-

perience for stallholders and shoppers - but from now

It’s rare for the farmer to deck himself out in a jacket and tie and even more remarkable for him to do this on the night of a rugby test match. But it was Otamatea Repertory Theatre’s Grand Ball and every-one was glammed up in their finest. The highlight of the ball was the mere fact the farmer and I can dance - we’ve recently been to dancing lessons. While many local women couldn’t convince their partners to attend dancing classes, Rex seemed keen which was handy because, frankly, he didn’t have much choice. The classes were my idea, inspired by Dancing With the Stars. It took so much effort to get men to dancing classes anyone would think they are required to wear high heels and dance backwards. So gentlemen, here’s the thing about dancing - it’s like rugby. I mention this because I suspect learning fancy footwork re-minded the farmer of his days on the rugby field. The difference is that in rugby, if you’ve got the ball, you want to be out of step with the person who’s opposite you, but if you want to get hold of the ball, you want (very badly) to be in step. Then you knock the person down, which is another key difference. If rugby isn’t your thing, dancing is also like walking. Walking requires two steps: one foot forward, other foot forward. Voila! Waltzing (note the similar spelling) requires only one more step: move one foot, then the other foot and then, the challenging bit which apparently intimidates many males, you bring your feet together. Repeat. Fox trotting requires yet another step: Step, step, step, then put your feet together; repeat. The quick step is the same, but faster. Learn this and, as the farmer and I can attest after spinning round the Maungaturoto Centennial Hall dance floor, your life will change. Sure, there are more complex manoeuvres but you don’t need to know them. We learned steps called the chassis and whisk, but on the night couldn’t remember which belonged in the waltz or the fox trot. And guess what? It didn’t matter. It also doesn’t matter if you’re out of time with the music. The farmer and I are almost always out of time and this has not di-minished our happiness. Nor does it matter if you forget how to do the Valeta or Maxina. While MP Lockwood Smith, a guest at Repertory’s do, danced like he once knew the Maxina, clearly his mind is now filled with more weighty matters. He and his partner went with the flow and that’s all that’s needed. When we left the ball - early because after all that hot, close dancing . . . actually, Rex wanted to catch the last of the test match - people were doing the cha cha. “What a cool dance,” said the farmer. “How come we haven’t learned that?” “We could,” I said, thinking to myself, what a guy! Rae Dancing classes will be held from late September at the Country Club. Otamatea Repertory Theatre is planning a Grand Ball next year and apparently dine & dances are becoming trendy.

Tena koutou katoa, Hello to everyone and welcome to Term Three. We had our first session back today (Wednesday 23rd) and enjoyed a nice relaxed morning, mainly inside with the playdough, paints, puzzles, collage, carpentry, blocks and dress-up. Between showers, the swings and sandpit areas were busy too. The under two’s area was the scene of great endeavour for a will-be walker (nine months old) and more senior toddlers investigating toys and puzzles. During the morning mums had a few well-earned coffees and contributed ideas for the Wednesday Term Three planned activities. We commiserated over the general suf-fering of coughs and splutters in our families - one infant having had a helicopter ride to Starship children’s hospital so his cold symptoms could be alleviated (much better now). This term we cancelled our first two Monday sessions; we may not be able to provide a team to run them, so contact us for more information on that. This will be discussed at our next meeting on Wednesday 30th July. Wednesdays and Fridays are still running as General Sessions (0 - 6 years old). You are welcome to come along and visit dur-ing session to see if Playcentre is for you. Thankyou to everyone who supported our raffles and ga-rage sale at the end of last term.

The grocery hamper was won by ticket number 118. The $50 voucher from Base Nature Cafe was won by ticket number 355. The $40 voucher from Sahara Restaurant was won by ticket number 304. The $100 raffle was won by ticket number 78. Thank you, Frances for all the organising and time and ef-fort you put into these fundraisers. Ka rawe - awesome! Chocoholics and others please contact us for a good deal on Cadbury chocolate bars this term. For information about Maungaturoto Playcentre, please contact Kirsty (President) 4317440 or Helen (PR) 4318221.

In this day and age it’s a rare thing to find longevity in the business world but thanks to good management, great suppliers and loyal customers, a Maungaturoto enterprise has bucked the trend and is celebrating 50 years in business. Garnett’s Tyre Service began life as Maungaturoto Tyre Service in 1958 when Bert and Elsie Garnett set up shop in a one bay garage in Gorge Road, Maungaturoto. He specialised in car servicing, tyre repairs and selling Firestone tyres. As the business grew the garage was extended to make more room, and Bert took on his first employee – an old mate called Eric Thompson. They worked together for a number of years before Eric’s place was taken first by another old friend, Laurie Bailey, and then Rick Wallis. Finally, in 1975, Bert’s son Dean joined the business and father and son worked side by side until 1989 when Dean took over as boss. Since then, he and wife Vicky have carried on the family tradition of hard work and good service. They have constantly upgraded the equipment and now have the latest in computerized wheel alignment technology and tyre machines. However some things haven’t changed. Although a lot bigger the garage is still where it has always been. Dean and off-sider Dylan Gardner, just like Bert and Eric, are still changing tyres and balancing wheels on anything from a tractor to a stock truck. Dean is proud of Garnett’s Tyre Service’s record-breaking run and is ready to add a lot more years to the tally. “One of the best things” he says, “is the relationship we have built up with our suppliers. We have dealt with Bridgestone/Firestone, Repco and Exide from the very start, and are the oldest independent Bridgestone/Firestone outlet in New Zealand. George Stocks is another valued long term supplier. I would like to thank these companies and our many customers for their support.” - Christine Yardley

.The month of May was productive for the Club. Our tournament was well attended and the "Cowbell" challenge was successfully defended against Mangawhai and Tapora clubs. June was steady with our topdog challenge being played, with good golf definitely being the win-ner. Then came the rain which disrupted things a little, but our programme is still proceeding with Stroke Play almost finished and Handicap Champs about to start. The course is playing surprisingly well despite the rain and the good humoured spirit we are renowned for is still very much in evidence. Sundays are Club days, gathering at 10.00.a.m. Anyone who’s keen to participate, please ring John Saunders - 4318 857 or Dave Churcher - 4318 773.

The tenth round of the winter tournament found the weather pretty inclement and play was cancelled on the 25th June. Play the following week, the 2nd of July, was only interrupted by one shower in the after-noon which caused both games to be shortened by a couple of ends. This was the day the cream came to the top with all three teams with players in the top five in the prizes.

Winners were: 1st Sue Wightman, Diane Bough and Willie Wintle - 4 wins 21 ends 55 points; 2nd Kevin Robinson, Owen and Pauline McMurchy - 4 wins 16 ends 32 points; and 3rd Geoff and Carol Powell and Maryanne Leijen - 3 wins 23 ends 39 points. The fifth draw for a $300 House of Travel voucher was won by one of sport’s gentlemen and a former All Black, Snow White.

Round eleven was completed on a beautiful, sunny July day on Wednesday 9th. The good weather must have upset most of the top teams as they struggled to get many wins. Quite a few of the chasers had indif-ferent days also and didn’t take advantage of the chance, so the top order didn’t change.

Winners on the day were: 1st Ted Mooney, George Bristow and Beryl McKay - 4 wins 22 ends 44 points; 2nd Bob McKinney, Bob Hodgson and Bill Gupell - 4 wins 19 ends 47points; and 3rd Trevor and Kevin Brjlevich and Roy Gillet - 3 wins 19 ends 51 points.

On July 16th the last round of the winter tournament was played. The first game was completed and two ends of the second before rain interrupted. The teams took an early lunch and another two ends were played to make the second game count. The third game was played in full and the fourth was called off after four ends when light rain set in. The winning teams on the day were: 1st Ivan and Rose Andrews and Bert McCarthy - 4 wins 16 ends 29 points; 2nd Laurie and Pam Mutch and Bruce Gover -3.5 wins 14 ends 34 points; and 3rd Kevin Robinson, Owen McMurchy and Judy Broome - 3.5 wins 14 ends 25 points. The lucky draw for a $300 travel voucher from the Steven Gillingham House of Travel was won by Graeme Brocklesby.

The three top scorers over the 12-week tournament who each received a $500 travel voucher from Steven Gillingham House of Travel were Sue Wightman and Diane Bough with 34 wins 222 ends 513 points and Kevin Robinson with 34 wins 203 ends 420 points. 4th were Kevin and Marilyn Flower with 30.5 wins 221 ends 481 points.

The Maungaturoto Bowling Club thanks all our very generous sponsors - House of Travel, Atlas Quarries, Gilmore Brown, Kensington Swan, United Carriers,

Carters, Ray White, Safebrands, Hubands Retrovi-sion, Ted Mooney, Powell family, NRM, Ken West-lake, Trevor Brjlevich, and Alec Robinson - for their support in making this the best bowls tournament in the Northland region.

Some interesting stats came out of this tournament in which an excess of $7000 was issued in prizes: 160 players took part over the 12 weeks, 108 meat packs were won by more than 60 different players, 192 bot-tles of wine were won for touchers, six people won $300 travel voucher draws, and three won the $500 travel vouchers as overall winners.

Saturday evening, July 19th was the club’s annual prize giving dinner attended by club members, fami-lies and friends. This very successful night concluded what has probably been one of the club’s most re-warding and successful years. We still haven’t won our first centre title, but one has the feeling it’s not far off.

The next event will be the Northland Clubs NZ Tour-nament open to Clubs NZ members, including all Maungaturoto Bowling Club members, on Saturday, August 30th. Also, on Sunday, August 17th, the club will hold a sausage sizzle with a few drinks between 3pm and 6pm. This is open to anybody who may be interested in bowls; whether they are serious bowlers, play for casual fun, or would like to try their hand sometime. Bowls, as a sport, has to change in some aspects to attract more players and members. Our idea is to ask people how we can change to make bowls more attractive.

Come along, we would love your company, support, input and ideas.

MANGAWHAI HEADS FUN RUN/WALK

The very first Heads To Harbour 9km run/walk series was held on the 6th July. We had 550 en-tries, with 420 turning up on the day to brave wet and cold weather conditions. Fantastic! Our local Mangawhai businesses, Mangawhai Veteri-nary and Smashed Pipi, entered as a corporate team which was great to see. The course started at Mangawhai Surf Beach and finished at Man-gawhai Tavern. Special thanks to the Sport Northland Team which helped on the day and to Jenny Hastie from the Mangawhai Netball Club who organised marshals. The marshals were much appreciated - and also had to brave the weather. A big thank you for the support from the Mangawhai Tavern. What a great location to have the prizegiving. And of course to our main sponsor First National from Managwhai.

Our first women runner in was Jo Geurts from Mangawhai, well done! A great day shared by all. Looking forward to it again next year. Con-gratulations to everyone who participated.

EVERY STEP COUNTS

The Steps are coming………..look out for the 10 000 steps signage coming soon to

Maungaturoto! One way the Kaipara District Council and Sport Northland are trying to get more Northlanders active is by stencilling walkways in our commu-nities. To date ‘steps’ stencils have been spray painted on the footpaths in Mangawhai, Ruawai and Dargaville.

Stencils have been spray painted every 250 steps based on the average adult stride length of 0.8m. The stencils let people know how many steps they have taken on their journeys and to encourage us all to ‘step’ a little more each day.

So if you are wondering what the “blue feet” on the pavement are and what walks have been measured, check out the big map coming soon in town.

Active Movement Workshops

Attention! Parents and educators of 0-1 Year Olds (Babies) and Toddlers. Active Move-

ment Workshops are coming in September 08 to Mangawhai and Maungaturoto. Sport North-land’s Active Movement Facilitator will be run-ning two exciting workshops. Please contact your local Kindergarten, Early Childhood Centre or Plunket for registration. Please contact Bridgette Sampson 431 8427 or email [email protected] also for registra-tion.
