Kaipara artist farewelledu by Ann Morgan

New Zealand has farewelled another leading light of the arts world with the death of Kaipara painter Bev Taylor, at Warkworth.

Mr Taylor’s work hangs in galleries the length of the country and around the world and he was regarded as one of the leading representational artists of his time. He was Patron of Mangawhai Artists Incorporated and an enthusiastic art educator, passing on his skills and knowledge in classes.

His works were exhibited at The Royal Academy of Arts, The Institute of Royal Oil Painters, and The Kings Gallery — St James, London.

Self-taught, Bev was born in 1936 in Wiltshire, England and immigrated to New Zealand in 1972 with his wife

Glenyse. Before moving to Warkworth, the couple lived at their Kaiwaka property where he had his studio/gallery on a small block of land which they called Puketotara.

“Bev was a husband, father and grandfather and he was a real inspiration and a fantastic teacher who was very generous with his time.

“He could not have been as successful as he was without the support of Glen, together they were a real team,” said friend and former art student Donna Shadick. Mangawhai residents Donna, and long time Taylor family friend Roger

Ashford, both received oil painting lessons from Bev. “He was incredibly talented and really wanted to teach people about art and how to paint.

“He was very passionate about it and was always willing to pass on information he had gleaned over the years.

“He gave his students the confidence to paint with oils. His passion and love for art was all encompassing” says Donna.

He gave students pointers yet didn’t influence their style.

Start of cricket season

p David Wood, Anthony Nelson, Colin White, Darcy Seymour, Tommy Fowlie, Roger Gillett, Leith McKenzie and Wilbur Morgan helped Des Subritzky place a shelter seat on the track above the Red Hill cemetery, for people to sit and contemplate after walking the old gumdiggers track. “My grandsons helped me build the seat which will shelter users from the wind at the top of the hill,” said Des. “The views are great from up there. The track has been well used since its restoration and this will make it even better.”

For the month of September, customers that spent $50 or more in store went in the draw for the TV valued at $1,499. “As we have recently taken over the business, we wanted to make room for some alterations in the shop and to also change a few of the lines that we are stocking,” says Trudi. “The community has been very accepting of the change in owners. We have had lots of positive feedback from customers. We welcome everyone in and try our utmost to do our best for them.”

The club will hold a ‘round up’ day on Saturday, October 10 at 1pm in front of Dargaville High School’s new Ross Condon Pavilion for anyone wishing to join. This season Arron is hoping to encourage more young people to play and says the club are looking forward to using their new facilities.

Building helps independenceu by Ayla Miller

The newest building at Kaurilands Skills Centre has risen from a few marks on the dirt, to the makings of a four bedroom home, and is well on its way to completion.

The house will be the centre’s third residential building and will be home to four people.

Kaurilands general manager Karen Duncan says in general the disability sector is moving towards encouraging independence and this house will foster this.

“It will teach the group independant living skills. It will be set up like any shared living space and if they choose to leave Kaurilands, hopefully we will have given them enough life skills to do that.”

The current buildings house nine and 10 people and are staffed 24/7. The newest building will be unstaffed overnight.

Work is being completed by Northtec level four carpentry students as part of their curriculum and tutor Richard Runciman says the experience they are

gaining through this project is invaluable. “It gives them practical experience for the theory work,” he says.

Kaurilands umbrella organisation, the Tokatoka Foundation, also received a substantial grant from Pub Charity which will go towards work on Kaurilands overall water reticulation including for the new building.

Karen says the project is a joint community effort. “The contractors and students are all part of the community. We might all have different needs but we all get something out of it.”

Service user John Maber says he is looking forward to moving in and choosing his bedroom and says it will be a nice change.

The building is expected to be completed by the end of the year but finishing touches and other preparations will run into 2016. ¢

The goal is goldu by Ann Morgan

Dargaville’s tandem para-cyclist and world record breaker Emma Foy and her riding partner Laura Thompson took part in a Para-Fun Day with 365 children in homemade gold supporters’ costumes to learn about Parasport and disability in Auckland.

The day marked Cadbury’s announcement of a major partnership in support of New Zealand Para-athletes on the road to the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

The Spirit of Gold initiative is a new long-term campaign designed to increase awareness and raise funds to support Para-Sport in the community and in the short term, help fund the team on the road to Rio 2016.

“Paralympic athletes gathered together to mark one year to go to Rio. I ride for Paralympics New Zealand and Laura and I are still gaining qualifying points. Our last competition is the Track Worlds in March, we will then find out if we qualify to go to Rio,” said Emma.

“It was a fun day with the children having photos and playing games. Laura and I looked after a station where they had to be blindfolded and go through an obstacle course giving the students a sense of disabled sports.

“Rio is getting nearer, and it is now less than a year away. The launch of the slogan was Spirit of Gold — with the goal to get gold.”

The Rio 2016 Paralympic Games will take place from the 7–18 September 2016.

Taking place every four years, they are the world’s largest multi-sport event for disabled athletes. More than 4,350 athletes from 178 countries are expected to compete in 22 sports, with 526 medal events. ¢

www.northpower.com

Owner and operator of the National Grid, Transpower and local distribution company, Northpower today are reminding UAV operators to take particular care when operating unmanned aircraft near overhead transmission and distribution lines.The prompt follows two incidents in the last week where UAVs (otherwise known as drones) have been operated at an unsafe proximity to electricity lines; one striking a high voltage transmission line in the Upper South Island and the other contacting an overhead line on Northpower’s distribution network in Northland.Transpower’s General Manager Grid Performance, Jim Tocher highlighted the importance of maintaining safe distances from electricity lines at all times.“We would advise that UAV operators use their aircraft well away from high voltage transmission lines and substations as they have the potential to put the public, our staff and contractors at risk and disrupt power supply.”“The UAV that struck a high voltage line recently had to be removed by experienced line crews while keeping the transmission line in service to avoid potential power outages and disruption to the area that those lines supply,” he said.“Positively in this situation, the owner of the UAV contacted us immediately, didn’t try to remove the aircraft himself, and stayed on site until our personnel arrived. We commend the owner for his approach which helped to keep the site safe and enabled quick identification and removal of the UAV,” he said.Northpower’s Public Affairs Manager Steve MacMillan stressed the importance of UAV operators being fully aware of powerlines and encouraged operators to plan their flights so that a separation of at least 20 metres from overhead electrical infrastructure is maintained.“Large carbon fibre UAVs tend to be used with DSLR cameras and these larger video cameras are a serious hazard to electrical infrastructure and should not be flown at all near powerlines.“The UAV that connected with our line caused a flashover which resulted in the UAV breaking up and falling to the ground. Fortunately no one was injured and the line did not come down, but this risk could have been avoided had the operator been aware of the lines and complied with minimum safety distances.Around 200 commercial and industrial businesses had to stop work over that period and we suspect a loss of at least 1000 man-hours of productivity for the businesses affected - a very significant cost.”“Anyone operating an unmanned aircraft that has accidentally come into contact with electricity or transmission lines should not attempt to retrieve the aircraft, but call the relevant electricity company for assistance,” he said.Information about the safe operation of unmanned aircraft can be found at www.caa.govt.nz or at www.airshare.co.nz.

Safety call around drones

Talking tales and teaNarrator and performer Barb Adams will be bringing stories to life at Dargaville Library with ‘A cuppa and a story’ sessions for people 50 and up starting on October 16.

Stories from Roald Dahl to Katherine Mansfield will be read aloud by Barb, who was one of the founders of radio drama in Auckland with radio personality Merv Smith.

“Barb’s experience and training shows, because she’s able to really pull listeners into the story.

She’s great at maintaining suspense, of really infusing the words with the personality of the characters involved,” Dargaville Library manager Lisa Salter says.

This idea is the brainchild of Lisa and community wellness coordinator Bev Hart.

“This is a great way for older people to meet new people, have a cuppa and at the same time have the very real pleasure of listening to good stories, told well,” Bev says.

Barb says she has always been a performer and has been talking into a

microphone since she was four years old. Over the years she has taken on the roles of children and many different nationalities.

“I was invited to do a programme with a puppet, on TV — Button On, Button

Off. It was an awful voice to do, but great fun, because television was still very much in its infancy then.”

Reading to adults will be a new experience for Barb but one she is looking forward to. ¢

Beware of Spark fraudstersu by Ann Morgan

Spark has established a Scam Hotline after receiving reports from customers about phone contact by fraudsters claiming to be from the company.

Spark, Microsoft New Zealand and NetSafe are advising home computer users to be vigilant. There has been a significant increase in reports of scammers trying to defraud people by claiming to be calling from Spark or Microsoft.

NetSafe’s executive director Martin Cocker says this pattern of scamming is not new and they use the Microsoft and Spark brands as the companies are known to have trusted experts. “Unfortunately some people believe the calls are genuine and are led to believe they are doing the right thing by handing over private passwords or details.”

The scammers claim Spark customers have viruses on their computers, or are downloading pornographic content and that their services will be cut off due to security issues, unless they change their settings or clean up their computers.

They have become more aggressive as they offer to fix computers and ask for remote access. This can reveal credit card details or bank account numbers.

Customers are directed to a website where they are asked to download software, which the fraudsters have branded as Spark. Microsoft NZ marketing and operations director Frazer

Scott says “we do not call customers at home saying that we have detected a problem with their computer. We will never ask for passwords or other private details in any forum.”

Spark understands that in some instances the fraudsters are giving customers a made-up ‘employee number’ to verify their identity.

It is vitally important to not visit the fraudulent webpage, or provide any personal banking information.

“If you have passed on information, contact your bank immediately and report the scam.

“Never enter your personal details into a website unless you are sure it is genuine. Some people have allowed access and one is reported to have lost around $5,000.

“If you have any doubts about a phone call’s legitimacy, we strongly advise anyone to hang up and ring Spark’s new Scam Helpline, on 123 option 9, to check.” ¢

Students surf experienceu by Ann Morgan

Surf students from the Mangawhai training program, Surf Dojo, competed in the 2015 National Scholastic Surfing Championships in Gisborne last week.

“There was a good turn out of Mangawhai students and the management team were pleased with their performance,” said coach Tony Baker.

“Cory Vercoe, a year eight student at Mangawhai Beach School has been competing regularly in New Zealand events and narrowly missed out on making the finals. He was joined at the event by fellow Mangawhai surfers Jake Buckle, Taj Robinson and Luke Vercoe.

“We had some very tough competition and conditions were perfect for a high level of surfing. It was great to see so many Mangawhai kids featuring in both the Primary Schools and Scholastic Champs this year.

Charity home nears completionu by Ayla Miller

The finishing touches are being put on a MyPad charity house in Mangawhai Heads which will soon be auctioned with proceeds going to the Mangawhai Activity Zone Charitable Trust.

The home is due to be completed on December 1 and the community will have the chance to view it up close with open days along with an on site auction by Barfoot and Thompson.

“When we were approached by MAZ to build a MyPad we said yes straight away. We were excited by the opportunity to support MAZ. The Mangawhai Activity Zone is a fantastic asset to our community as well as visitors to the area,” says MyPad architectural designer Sarah Lay.

“The support of the Mangawhai community and our Auckland suppliers has been huge. Suppliers and subcontractors have given discounted

rates or donated their products and time.”

MAZ chairman and funding organiser Colin Gallagher says he is also impressed by the communities contribution.

“It helps people take a bit of ownership and that is what we are trying to do. The community involvement on

this project is the highlight,” he says.The profits will fund a wooden

fort in the children’s playground and a warm up and cool down area atthe beginning of the walking tracks as well as the commencement of stage three of the skate park — a ‘free flow’ area. ¢

“The top performer was Cory, who narrowly missed out on a top four finish in the Primary Schools event and it was

awesome to see his younger brother Luke and fellow surfer, eight-year-old Taj Robinson competing too.” ¢

A 90’s revivalu by Ayla Miller

Audiences had a foot tappingly good time at Dargaville Little Theatre’s premiere night of juke box musical Material Girls: Together Again, which hit the stage on October 3.

The sequel to Material Girls, written by Deborah Steele and co-directed and choreographed by Julianne Parkinson, is set 15 years later and follows the lives of a girl group and their children.

After their overnight success in the 80’s, the group have split and are pursuing different careers in Hollywood and in the fictional New Zealand town of Barrington. When an accident occurs back home the girls are brought together again and set about organising a benefit concert.

Audience members who grew up in the 90’s were treated to a trip down memory lane with many well-known hits from the decade.

The combination of choreography, costumes and a mix of heartstring tugging moments, meant there was something for everyone.

The work put into rehearsals is apparent as the young cast pull off both dancing and singing, alongwith some consistent American accents which add a touch of authenticity to the show.

p The cast of Material Girls: Together Again brought the 90’s back to Dargaville Little Theatre

When the Kaipara Lifestyler spoke to writer Deborah Steele in the weeks leading up to the show, she explained her aim was to see the audience go away with smiles on their faces. Judging by the cheerful and energetic atmosphere after the premiere it is fair to say she achieved this.

The production will run over October 8,9,10,16 and 17 at 7.30pm and matinees on October 11 and 17 at 3.30pm.

Tickets can be purchased from Moa or the Dargaville Sewing and Curtain Centre at $25 per adult, $15 per student and $10 per child. ¢

“Bev enabled people and even though he travelled the world and had a famous clientele, he was never pretentious and could see potential in anybody.

“His artworks, particularly of the Kaipara, were stunning as he captured the true feel and light of the area.

“He was self taught and one of New Zealand’s foremost artists. I don’t think he got the acclaim in New Zealand that he deserved. He discovered a lot of techniques by reading, and figuring it out from there how to do things.

“Bev was highly acclaimed internationally, particularly in England and America. His style was classic, like

the old masters. “Bev had really fun classes, he was a very entertaining, funny man and told lots of jokes.

“He worked hard at his art, surrounded by his chooks. When you went to his studio you had to get through his chickens, which were all rare and very beautiful breeds.

He knew poultry well and was a poultry judge, so when he came to paint them he knew exactly how they should be,” said friend and fellow artist Dawn Mann.

Mr Taylor’s funeral was held at the chapel of Jason Morrison Funeral Services, Warkworth on Friday October 2, followed by a private cremation. ¢

Next generation for Foster’su by Ayla Miller

Well established local business, Foster’s Home Decorating, is being officially passed on to the next generation, as Arron and Karen Foster take over sole ownership from Arron’s parents.

Ken and Ellain Foster bought the local paint store in 1984 and grew the business with the help of their daughter Debbie and Ellain’s sister Sally.

The business began supplying house paint, wallpaper and automotive p a i n t , g r a d u a l l y encompassing curtains when their eldest son Greg came on board.

Over the next few years the business continued to expand and in the early 90’s Arron joined them, running the furniture and bedding department.

Ken Foster says over the 31 years he has been in business he has had many good staff and has faith that the current team will keep things running smoothly.

Arron’s son Mason, 16, will also help run the family business when he leaves school making him the third generation to do so.

“Plans for the future include adding new lines and expanding the homeware side of the store,” Arron says.

“We are also looking at offering more New Zealand made products.”

p The Foster’s Home Decorating team Karen, Arron, Ellain, Ken and Mason Foster with Angela Finlayson and Michael Quelch

The business includes the Resene Colour Shop, which until recently had been looked after by Greg. Arron has also taken over his shares and this department is now managed by Michael Quelch.

Ken and Ellain are retired and Arron says the decision to take over sole ownership was to “tie everything together” and make it easier to manage. The store is currently celebrating with a birthday sale for five years of being in the new building since the original Foster’s was destroyed in a fire in 2009. ¢

Ready for trolley derbyu by Ann Morgan

The first Kauri Museum trolley derby workshop had participants quickly getting over their initial apprehension, rolling up their sleeves and pitching in to construct trolleys made from everyday materials.

“It was a great success and the designs and quality of construction were put to the test and trialled alongside some more contemporary models,” said CEO of The Kauri Museum, Lisa Tolich.

“One of our engineering enthusiasts, Kerry Bonham remarked that the children showed a preference for their own constructions over the faster models and took great satisfaction in the end result.

“A number of the participants were looking forward to taking their plans home and perfecting their designs over the next two months, prior to the museum’s inaugural trolley derby on Settlers Day, Saturday November 28. “The Kauri Museum’s annual Settlers

Day event showcases the traditional arts, crafts and pastimes of our Kaipara settlers. Market stalls will be on offer again this year, sitting comfortably alongside crowd favourites like gum polishing, woodturning demonstrations and the creation of tussie mussies — flower arrangements — to take home.

“Children’s activities will be on offer throughout the day to ensure a family friendly day out and enjoyment for all ages.

“A schedule of the day’s activities will be publicised in the near future.”

For more information, or to register your interest in attending this event, contact The Kauri Museum on 09 431 7417 or email [email protected] ¢

New season, new beginningsu by Ann Morgan

Fresh Vibe cafe on Victoria Street Dargaville has a new chef. Dargaville born Genevieve Gregory has returned home after living and working in Auckland for the past eight years.

“I am really excited to be back in town and working here is a great opportunity,” says Genevieve who has worked as a chef at Robert Harris cafes, BB’s Muffins and Sky City.

“My parents, Josie and Cliff, are really good cooks and I originally learnt from them. I now have my level one, two and three chef certificates, and am a qualified barista and bar manager.

“I believe meals need to look beautiful and taste great. I am an all rounder cook and plan on taking small steps to start with as I stabilise the cafe.

“I believe food is about the customer and what they want. It is my passion to create good meals and I am most happy when I am cooking. I plan to be here for a long time and treat this as my own cafe.”

Manager Ashish says the new premises are working well and the extra room means they are able to cater for more people. With the recent addition

of assistant manager and barista Sabhi Singh, and now employing Genevieve, Ashish and his wife Payal believe things can only get better.

“Genevieve’s kiwi style food is really well presented and will bring stability to the cafe,” says Ashish.

“We are excited for new beginnings in the new season with winter now over. Her style will compliment Payal’s Indian and pacific chinese food. We believe, as we build up for summer with the new additions to our menu, our customers will have good valued meals.

“It is great to have new staff members on our team.” ¢

A weekend of art appreciationu by Ayla Miller

Art admirers were out in force for Mangawhai Artists Incorporated largest spring trail event yet.

Mangawhai Ar tists Incorporated past president Jeanette Vickers said the weekend was ‘fantastic’ and the artists were ‘buzzing.’

Jeanette says this Spring Trail is interesting because it is a stand alone event. The group also hold another trail in March which is combined with a walking weekend.

“Peop l e c ome specifically to this trail for the art and the town was buzzing,” she says.

“The artists were thrilled with the volumes that came through and with the comments people made.”

This year the trail included the Smashed Pipi Gallery as a venue which displayed local artists from the Gilmore Brown Kaipara Art Awards.

“There were a lot of people through,” said Jeanette. “It was the first time we have had a proper gallery with catalogues.” She says this trail attracts a younger

crowd that are there to really appreciate the art alone.

“You can see that with how people look at the art. The groups that came through really study the work rather than just passing by.”

There were also four new venues hosted by newcomers to the area and Jeanette says they were surprised to find such an active arts community.

“We had some wonderful feedback from the artists about their experience. They were ecstatic and will definitely be coming back next time.” ¢

Amber’s KitchenQ CAFE & RESTAURANT

Spring delights and fresh flavoursu by Andy Bryenton

It’s all about old classics and new sensations this month, as we head into the middle of spring and approach the spookiest night of the year — Halloween.

First up, there’s the chance to experience the music of 70s icon Fleetwood Mac, right here in Dargaville. No — not the original lineup, but a lovingly pitch-perfect cover band, decked out to the nines in period costume and featuring a thoroughly convincing Stevie Nicks up front.

The tribute show will take place in the restaurant of the Northern Wairoa Hotel, and can be enjoyed as either a purely musical night of classics, or as dinner and show incorporating a three course buffet.

Not to be outdone, the grand old Maungaturoto Hotel are turning up the heat with an entirely new menu, top to bottom.

Spring has been the prompt for the new management to re-design their pub fare and their more gourmet dine in selection, offering a range which covers some good old local favourites as well as sizzling mixed grills, crumbed scallops, a daily roast and some of the biggest burgers ever to grace a plate. Knife and fork material, for certain!

Down at the Aratapu Tavern the Northern Wairoa Country and Western Club are hosting a proper country shindig on the 9th, sure to be accompanied by some fine southern-style fare from the kitchen. In Paparoa, the Village

Cafe must be commended for their homemade pies — the real deal, best teamed up with a slice of cake.

We can’t forget to wish Matich’s Premiere Seafood Restaurant a happy birthday.

The old established name in fish and chips (and more) turn two under their

current management this month. At the end of the month, be sure to watch out for some local Halloween parties — an excuse to get dressed up and have some spooky fun! ¢

Putting gear to good useu by Ayla Miller

The Kauri Coast is a patchwork of stunning natural landscapes just asking to be explored, whether it be on foot, wheels or by sea, and the skill it takes to navigate this area could one day make a significant difference in someone’s life.

The Northland Search and Rescue chairman and Land SAR advisor to the New Zealand Police, Grant Conaghan, says people who enjoy getting out and about make great additions to search and rescue teams.

“We like people who are used to being outdoors because they have got a bit of knowledge about their own safety and how to walk around in the field without tripping over their own feet,” says Grant.

“We are just starting to use the Kauri Coast Four Wheel Drive club for transport in the area.”

He says being involved with search and rescue gives people a sense of being able to give back to the community and they get land search and rescue training once a month.

“We hope they arrive with bush craft skills, but if they don’t, we teach that if necessary. Generally it is on the job training in the search team and they

can learn off other experienced people. “The training can be search and rescue related skills, tracking, search methods and we also do first aid courses.”

Exploring this rugged and sometimes unforgiving terrain is a great way to let the inner child out, test equipment and use the vehicles in situations they are created for.

The Kauri Coast Four Wheel Drive club know how rewarding it can be to see what their big boy’s and girl’s toys can achieve.

“We get to share our passion with the community and we also take people who have 4WD’s out and show them what their vehicles are capable of in a controlled environment,” says secretary and treasurer Serena Carran.

Those interested in joining Northland Search and Rescue can contact Grant on 027 220 1789 or email him at [email protected] ¢

Top performance on land and seaA D V E RT O R I A L

Spring is here, with the promise of a long hot summer to follow. That means that all across the Kaipara and beyond, boaties are gearing up for a cracker of a season.

In the popular seaside town of Mangawhai, this heralds busy times for growing business Jackson Brown Automotive and Marine. With recent expansions to their range and their services, owners James and Matt are very positive about the 2015 season.

“Mangawhai is growing so quickly these days and I expect this year to be our busiest yet,” says James.

“I’d like to thank all of our customers for their support and I am confident we will be able to provide a better service to the area now with the addition of Honda Marine Outboards and a Repco reseller store.”

Alongside championship-winning motorcycles and cars, Honda produce some of the most smoothest and powerful marine motors in the business.

Repco, of course, is the name which has been right behind Kiwi ‘petrolheads’ for

generations, even building up the Repco-Brabham formula one car which dominated the track in 1966.

This is important for Mangawhai and the east Kaipara, a playground for anglers and boaties in the summertime. From servicing and WOFs for road vehicles through to advanced diagnostics using a computer interface, the qualified team in Mangawhai have drivers covered.

Under the same roof, boaties will find experienced marine technicians to get those marine motors, jet skis, trailers or tractors humming, or to help fit out their vessels with the latest in safety features and electronics.

An open day on the 7th of November will provide an opportunity for customers to check out the new additions, as well as an opportunity to get in the draw to win a boat and ute package for summer fun.
