Sept Newsletter
T NEWSLETTER september 2016 RBAY more than a place - a lifestyle g n i n e p p a h s i Bay Wonhathet Long Restaurant site. Page 31 www.torbay.co.nz What a freezing cold month this has been. We also had severe storms which ripped the flags into shreds. They did last us seven months so did well and were great to see. By now we will have a winner for our upgrade competition. Some lucky person will have been picked out of the bag and told they have $2000 to spend on anything they want to upgrade - their home - their car - their body! It has been very popular through the Village shops. Also after several years with no dedicated café we now have two! This will be really good news to everyone as this has continually been a major gripe that there is nowhere you can meet up with a friend and enjoy food and coffee. Our other major news is that Auckland Council have now signed with a main contractor and work on the Village centre will begin in earnest on 5th September, and hopefully be completed by mid-November. This will give us a really attractive Centre and with the two new cafes we are prepared for anything. Also we are one of the few centres with full occupancy. Once we have space to organise events in I hope to start a monthly art and craft market so if you have any interest in that please get in touch with me. We will also have an art corner and hope to do monthly art displays so again if you have any interest in that also contact me. We hope to get some really interesting events together so that coming to Torbay is an even more pleasurable experience. A few weeks ago I was privileged to attend the reburial of the koiwi found at the old Long Bay Restaurant site. The ceremony was respectful and very moving and although I was soaked to the skin I would not have missed it for anything. The remains of 28 individuals were reburied (see full story on page 31).

But agriculture and husbandry were not for Keith who became the first member of his family to go to university, qualifying as an electrical engineer. He spent time working for GEC, the UK Ministry of Defence contractor, testing ship to air missiles at the Woomera rocket range in South Australia until 1960. Keith then had a change of scenery when he spent 1961 with the Australian National Antarctic Expedition at Mawson Station. After the chill of Antarctica he went back to Australia to work at NASA’s space tracking complex then being established near Canberra. The first pioneering missions were to land Surveyor spacecraft on the Moon and to fly Mariner spacecraft past Mars. Later he was involved in the early Pioneer planetary and Apollo missions. In fact he was sitting on the control desk when Neil Armstrong spoke those famous words while walking on the moon for the first time. He had a recorder on the desk and personally recorded the message. Next he tracked the satellite mission which was exploring the universe out past Mars. Keith has always had a keen interest in “inventing”. He moved on to Canada where he worked for almost 20 years. In North America around 1980 there was a real need to track rail wagons because as many as 10,000 of these wagons would “disappear” in a year – a huge loss to the railroads. So he developed technology to keep a tag on the wagons. Next, this system was adapted for automatic road tolling in New York to enable traffic to move freely along the toll roads. In 1994 he co-invented a stolen vehicle tracking system to combat motor vehicle theft and hi-jacking, and that system is running to this day. Currently he is launching his “FreeKey” speaker recognition system which identifies your voice and allows you to get into your car without a key. Great at the beach – just leave keys and valuables in the car. This also works on garage doors. It saves “hiding” keys around your property. Keith lives in Torbay and has two children, six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. “I can give you a detailed analysis of the market, an appraisal of your home We are always looking for news about what’s happening in Torbay To submit a news item, please contact: Torbay Newsletter Editor Carole McMinn Email: [email protected] Phone: 473 3259 To advertise, please contact: Torbay Business Association Coordinator Carole McMinn Email: [email protected] Phone: 473 3259 This newsletter is designed and sustainably printed by Silverdale Print & Design: 0800SILPRINT Torbay Website: Tony Nettleton Email: [email protected] – all completely free with no obligations attached.” Shane Rowe Torbay Business Association Chairman: Tony Carter Barfoot & Thompson Torbay Phone: 09 473 9190 Torbay Newsletter photographer: Bill Ellis Phone: 473 6482 Silverdale Print • Design 3 Mob: 021 535 639 Tel: (09) 473 9190 [email protected] 1054B Beach Rd, Torbay East Coast Bays Association Football Club Now open Saturday mornings!

Our coaching structure ensures that young talent is identified early and guided and encouraged in their development to achieve the highest level that they are capable of. Unlike some clubs, East Coast Bays has a history of providing a pathway for junior players to progress through the ranks to Premier Team status and beyond. Our current Premier Team has a large contingent of players who have come through the grades with the club, some from the midget ranks, others from age group levels. At the under 20 World Cup, held in New Zealand last year, East Coast Bays had three players in the New Zealand squad, all who have gone on to play professionally overseas, two in MLS in America and the other in Australia.

Our trip was a little disappointing owing to the weather although there was a break in the rain, when we were able to go out onto the deck at the café and take some photos. The café has an interesting range of cheeses and great ice creams. From Puhoi we went to the RSA at Browns Bay for lunch, the driver taking us the long way around so we could enjoy the scenery of the beautiful Wenderholm valley. As the tide was out we were able to see the amazing size of the tidal flats, they are massive. We then passed through Waiwera, everything lovely and unspoiled, on to Hatfields Beach and Orewa and then to Browns Bay. We have an outing each month as well as our usual meeting day. Come and visit us on the second Tuesday of the month at 1.30pm in the Torbay Community Hall. You will be sure of warm welcome. Contact Josette Phone 479 8159.

Her son had developed a Staph infection on top of the eczema on his legs. We talked about the prescription antibiotics, the best choice of probiotic to accompany them, and other helpful home remedies such as bleach baths. In the process of trying to figure out what might have caused the flare-up, we talked about diet changes. She looked very guilty and said that life had gotten a bit busy lately and she had bought junk food from the dairy a couple of times in desperation. She was probably expecting a scolding for bad parenting, but it’s a hard road trying to be the perfect parent (or Super Mum). I thought she deserved a medal for the great job she was doing raising 5 children including a baby. We all have challenges which we sometimes meet with an excellence grade and sometimes with only an achieved grade. We sometimes need to remind ourselves that even if we have an occasional “slip”, we are on the right road to success. Feeling Happy Despite Life’s Challenges: I have recently completed my yoga teacher training. I have spent 8 months in training culminating with an intense 2-week total emersion. It has certainly clarified that for me success is inner happiness and contentment. A lesson from yoga that might be helpful for your search for inner happiness is presence (or mindfulness). We spend far too much time ruminating about past events (which can lead to depression), or worrying about future events (which leads to anxiety). Focussing on the life that is right in front of you right now is a great way to get into “the zone”, to be present and to feel happy. And of the many tools yoga has given me, slow steady breath control is one of the best to assist you to be present and therefore happy. Of course, there are times when happiness seems to elude us for long periods for no good reason. When this happens, we may need a bit of extra support from a friend, a counsellor, the use of quality nutrient supplements like SAMe or Theanine, or a visit to the doctor. Try controlling your breath during your day.

In the meantime, however, Long Bay is the one place in New Zealand with a live tradition behind it, as well as being one of the most pleasant breathing places within close reach of a growing city." This is the final paragraph of an article about farming at Long Bay. The article tells how George Vaughan decided, nearly 90 years before, to make his home at Long Bay. The bush was cleared, yielding pastures and durable timber for the construction work needed for the new farm. Bullock teams and ploughs turned the soil over, grass was sown and 200 Romney ewes were bought. Puriri trees disappeared and pines were planted for shelter. Although it was gumland, not even the stump of a Kauri tree was found on the land. In the areas of Lucas Creek, Albany and the Wade River, Silverdale there were gum fields in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Up in the low hills behind Long Bay there were once 40 gum diggers working. The Vaughan brothers took on the job of transporting the gum punts to ships off the beach, charging the diggers 1 pound a tonne. In one day they moved 30 tonnes. 24 September – 9 October is the Auckland Heritage Festival. Look for posters and booklets about this. Our events are 1st. and 2nd. October. The Devonshire Teas on the Sunday will be advertised in the booklets. The Saturday event is for ‘Original Torbay’. If you have memories of Torbay as it used to be, this is for you.

The prize is a trip, worth up to $10,000, including three nights’ accommodation for one class from each of the four winning schools, meals, an educational experience at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds and the Waitangi Museum, and an itinerary planned and booked by the Bay of Islands Education Network. The four winning art works will be exhibited at the new Museum of Waitangi between now and December. Bea’s watercolour painting is entitled Blinded by Ignorance. It is of a Maori chief signing the Treaty of Waitangi, with his ancestors in the background telling him not to. Bea is looking forward to seeing her painting hanging up in the Museum. She says it is only then that she will believe she has won because at the moment it still doesn’t quite feel real. Long Bay College student wins historic trip of a lifetime The creative handiwork of Year 10 student Bea Terreblanche has earned a Long Bay College art class a jam-packed weekend away to experience Waitangi and the Bay of Islands. Bea was one of four winners of the “Our Nation’s Children Art Competition”, which tasked Year 9 and 10 students from around New Zealand to create a piece of art around what the Treaty of Waitangi meant to them. The other three winners were students from Palmerston North Girls High School, Otahuhu College and Campion College. The four winning pieces of art were selected from a total of 75 submitted by schools from around the country with each piece netball success for students wanted!! homestay families Long Bay College appreciates the support it receives from our current homestay families and are seeking more families.

The U18 team remained undefeated throughout the busy week and won both the Three Day High Energy Youth Tournament and the U18 Carina League Cup tournament. The U16 team also achieved well, coming 6th in the One Day Tournament and placing 2nd in the cup division for the HEY Three Day Tournament. Sophie Butler (U18) and Megan Noick (U16) were both named players of the Long Bay College teams by tournament officials. Six of the U18 players were also selected in the Tournament Dream Team; Brittany Allison-Carnie, Sophie Butler, Rosie Dawson, Maddison Moore, Anna Thompson and Anisha Venter. The girls had a fantastic experience and loved supporting the Northcross Intermediate School Team who were playing in the U14 division. After such a successful trip away, Long Bay College is looking at taking students away biannually.

Auditions last month produced a fine cast, and rehearsals are underway. The colourful worlds of Spain and Venice are brought together as the hunt is underway for the rightful King of Barataria. He was brought up with the son of a simple gondolier, and it is years since the drunken foster-father could remember which was which. How much fun, fine music, beautiful peasant dancing, current political satire and secret marriages can the plot sustain before all is revealed? It is not only cast and audience who enjoy the process of bringing this vibrant show to life: the dedicated teams who create the costumes, sets, hair and make-up, props and all behind-the-scenes arts welcome any in the community who wish to join in. The teams have such fun together.

Further out towards Coromandel and the Outer Gulf good solid pannies are feeding hard and it is only a matter of time before they cruise within range. We were out over the weekend, finally a nice weather window, and couldn’t believe the amount of baitfish there were between Orewa and Martins Bay with gannets having a great time, but not a Kahawai or a snapper anywhere to be seen. Flat Rock, on the other hand was full of Kahawai but we caught all our snapper in the shallows around Army Bay. Rock and beach fishos are being rewarded up and down the coast so if the weather is causing too much frustration and you can’t get the boat out, dust off the old surfcaster and go for a flick down on your local beach – you may be well rewarded as two local fishos Steve and Willy were last Monday evening off Stanmore Bay with snapper up to 7kg, yes off the beach! If adventuring out on a bait fishing session, especially if your straylining i.e anchoring, berleying and casting lightly weight baits out of the back of the boat, it is in your best interest to make sure the tide and wind run in the same direction, otherwise it can be almost impossible to fish this style. With spring just a few weeks away you want to make sure all your gear is up to speed, especially with your line. I’ve always maintained that the two most important factors in catching fish are the hook and the line, which may sound obvious. Everything else in your rig, rod reel etc, can let you down, but if either of these fail it’s goodbye fish. They are the cheapest part of your gear so it is a good practice to buy good hooks and replace your line regularly, which we can help you with. The shop will be getting all the latest rods, reels, lures, jigs etc over the next couple of months as we like to keep our range modern, so if you’ve never been in our store please call in and see myself, Dave or Les.

If you have diabetes you are more likely to develop foot problems, so you need to take extra care of them. Foot problems in diabetes are often caused by nerve damage and/or damage to the blood vessels. Serious foot problems can often be prevented. Prevention depends on you maintaining healthy blood glucose and blood pressure levels, taking good care of your feet every day, and keeping in close contact with your doctor or podiatrist if you have a foot problem. How can diabetes cause foot problems? Some people with diabetes develop what are called the ‘complications’ of diabetes. Complications are the negative effects of having a condition or illness. Two of the common complications of diabetes are: • Damage to nerves (neuropathy) • Damage to blood vessels (vascular disease) Both of these problems can cause damage to your feet. Diabetics can and do lose lower limbs when the damage becomes too great so make sure you look after your feet and get them checked regularly. 27 Still here in Toroa Street – I treat all foot problems including ingrown toe-nail surgery, verruca treatment, custom made orthotics, diabetic foot checks, foot pain, corn and hard skin removal.

In addition, taonga like shell beads and tools, and natural items like shells, snails and fish bones have also been uncovered. Archaeological work was carried out under a Heritage New Zealand authority with guidance from the Ministry of Culture and Heritage and the mana whenua groups that identify with this area. Under the guidance of mana whenua, the koiwi tangata and taonga have now been laid to rest in a part of the park where they will not be disturbed. The discovery area, formerly the site of a restaurant, will be returned to its natural state and, in time, the story of this discovery will be told in the park. On a very wet night in mid August I attended the reburial of the koiwi at Long Bay Regional Park. It was a hugely moving occasion with park rangers and volunteers, Local Board members, representatives from Vaughan Homestead and the Sir Peter Blake Marine Education and Recreation Centre - and me. Local Iwi also attended. The coffins came on flat beds and then a Pakeha and Maori carried the coffins to their new resting place. The site at the restaurant is of significant historical interest being a burial ground with very old bones and this is why the rebuilding of the restaurant could not go ahead. Council are talking to the restaurant owners about re-siting the restaurant on another site within the park. Statement from Auckland Council: Koiwi tangata (historic pre-European human remains) and archaeological taonga recovered from a site in Long Bay Regional Park have been laid to rest.
