No: 2 9 February 2021 KAIWAKA SCHOOL OLD PUPIL VISIT Alwyn Judd - 91 years old. Last Thursday, 4 February, we had the pleasure to meet Alywn and hear about his life and times at Kaiwaka School and of his family in the Kaiwaka Community. Sharlene Tornquist, Kaiwaka School principal, introduced Alwyn, his wife Margaret and his daughter Lynette and son-in-law. Pictured right: Sharlene, Alwyn, Margaret. Alwyn’s family, the Judds and Stewarts go back to Kaiwaka’s first settlers, but Alwyn and his siblings were born in the South Island then the family returned to farm again in Kaiwaka and attended Kaiwaka School and Maungaturoto home and back! High School. He recalls Mr Prouting, then principal, If you are lucky enough to have a copy of Desmond coming into the classroom and announcing in 1941, ‘Japan Stewart’s book ‘Skye to Timber Mountain, the Journey of has entered the war!’ Actually, folk will remember his the Kaiwaka Stewarts’, you can read of Alwyn’s ties to older brother, Eric,- Eric served in Fiji as a mechanic Kaiwaka’s history. Alwyn’s grandmother, Flora Stewart, fixing planes in WWII; he returned to run his Kaiwaka was the daughter of Angus Stewart, who first viewed his Motors business here in Kaiwaka (where Best Pets and Pukekaroro farm in December 1859. They settled in 1863 - AllSortz are) . Alwyn went to train as a cabinet maker in Flora was born in 1864 ( she was noted to be on Kaiwaka Auckland School roll in 1877) . Flora married Thomas Judd in 1887 Alwyn’s first paid job was at school - emptying the ‘dunny and began married life on ‘Pukekaroro’ farm next to cans’ with Owen Bowmar down under the wattle trees - Gibbons Rd. - Thomas’ father, Charles, had purchased this they were paid 6d a week. He also remembers the ‘new’ farm in 1861. Flora and Thomas Judd’s 3rd born, Hylton school - the two room school pictured on page 13. And he (Alwyn’s father) - trained as a dairy factory manager. His found riding a bike was faster than riding his horse to first job was at the Hakaru Dairy factory; he then went school. He remembers, the opening of the Main Road south still with the dairy factories and then married Ethel. north over the Brynderwyn - it was a long walk from their The Judd family moved back to Kaiwaka in 1938. PUKERARO: ‘When Ngapuhi landed at Mangawhai, some canoes came up the inlet which runs up to the Waipu road, but some were left just inside the heads, at the picnic ground, in case they had to retreat when the tide was out. The two parties advanced into the hills, with scouts looking for the best way to the Otamatea. They saw seagulls coming over Pukekaroro (puke -hill, karoro - seagull) so knew that the river was there. They climbed Pukekaroro for a view of the country. Even today there are remains of a Maori Pa on top of the mountain. Battles were fought all over these hills, including Kaiteke and Kaitara. Many canoes were made at Pukekaroro, one of the best places for good long kauri trees. One canoe was brought down the Hakaru but never reached the sea.’ Today as you look at the mountain, the steep flanks of the eroded crater are covered with regenerating kauri trees lifting their heads high on the skyline, looking much as it always has. This was not the situation in 1903 when there was a disastrous fire resulting in most of the bush being burnt off. Re-growth soon began and by 1952 the mountain was richly covered in small native bush and young kauri “rickers". In that year the Government decided that the mountain was a significant icon and should become a reserve. The various owners were approached (the Stewarts included) and all agreed to sell their land on the mountain back to the Crown at three pounds an acre. There were about 207 acres in total, and settlement was completed in September 1954. Ref. Skye to Timber Mountain by D. Stewart.

Now we are in February, the hottest driest month of the year. You and your garden should be reaping the benefits of all that work done in winter. The right plant choice for your situation and mulch, mulch, mulch. After last summer's drought I was in grief. My garden and years of work gone. I couldn't face it. Poor Les and our French guests removed the dead. All was not lost. There were survivors. And after researching plants suited to our changing climate, I've got a new plant palette. Including plants native to Australia, the Mediterranean, south west USA and parts of Africa. This planting, pictured left, has been in 8 months. Sedum white flowers. Santolina, iris yellow flower, grasses, perennial cornflower, koromiko lovely white flowers, and Bromeliads under the tree. In a west facing border with solid clay and lime rock. Anyone living round here knows what I mean. And don't forget to mulch. ~ Heather, Oneriri Plants 021 766 399

Your prizes will be at the library soon, and I will be in touch to let you know when they're here. BOOK REVIEW Recently I've read the Sean Devereaux series by Ben Sanders - (1) The Fallen, (2) By Any Means, and (3) Only the Dead. Sean is a detective at the Auckland Central police station. He's single, in his 30s, and doesn't always do what his superiors tell him to do. Aided by his good friend John Hale, an ex-police private investigator. As well as the good stories, I like that Sanders gives good descriptions of the journeys taken through the city - for this ex-Aucklander I could follow it in my head, street by street, a lot of the time as the areas are familiar to me. Like the DCI Banks novels by Peter Robinson, we also get to hear about the music being played throughout, which I like, too, though the tastes here are not as eclectic. All three books in this series are in the district, the first two on our Dargaville shelves until April, and the third can be ordered in for you. See you in the library! ~Wendy MANGAWHAI ARTISTS FIBONACCI: MATH AND MAGIC This new exhibition is opening at Mangawhai Artists Inc gallery on 25 February, 6pm, at 45 Moir St. Mangawhai. You may not know it, but you have seen the patterns of the Fibonacci sequence hundreds of times - patterns occur in an amazing variety of places, in art and nature, mathematics and in science. The Fibonacci sequence is an endless series of numbers where any number is the addition of the previous two numbers, starting with 0 and 1. The classic Fibonacci spiral has been accorded spiritual status by many cultures. Often it appears as both clockwise and counter clockwise spirals on the same form. In this exhibition, four artists explore this blueprint for growth.: Mandy Thomsett-Taylor forged a pictorial interior landscape in which anything (and everything) can be included, and that celebrates its own logic. Bridget Mintoft has always been interested in the subject of perception. How is it we “see” things? Bridget invites the viewer to look more closely, to make meaning from what may seem unfathomable. Pauline Mann learnt of Fibonacci through the works of Rudolf Steiner, Goethe, John Wilkes, Euclid and Phidias, and Johannes Kepler, while teaching art at the Steiner school in Wellington. Slumping and Fusing Bullseye glass has become her main medium as it expresses the light, darkness and colour interplay that comes through it with movement, changing constantly, recreating itself as does life itself. Nicola Everett has always been interested in the patterns created by nature. She would like people to come away from the exhibition with a curiosity for looking more carefully at the complexity, simplicity and rhythm of patterns in nature, to observe and consider what is often overlooked.
