Franklin Local Board Wairoa Team

Thank you everyone who voted. As you may well know, the results are that Angela and Malcolm will continue for a further term, while we farewell Amanda Hopkins and welcome Lance Gedge to the Wairoa Franklin team. Voter turnout for Auckland was at 35.2% and across Franklin Wairoa was the highest at 39.4% of the 3 subdivisions followed closely by Waiuku 38.8% then Pukekohe 36.4%. The new board had their first meet and greet with briefing from staff on Tuesday 15th, so straight into it. The inaugural meeting where members take their oath to public service is Tuesday 29th and then it will be into official council work.

We would like to acknowledge Amanda Hopkins who has been your Wairoa local board member for the 2016 – 2019 term. Many messages have been conveyed to us to pass on their thanks and best wishes to Amanda. Amanda took a keen interest in transport, so much so she began talking like a road engineer. You will see her advocacy work, along with Bill Cashmore’s, being done this road work season. Amanda also had a passion for sport and how different codes are funded and supported bringing a pragmatic and solution orientated view point and not shy of speaking what others might be thinking to get an issue out on the table. Always willing and giving of her time whether it be a planting day, beach clean up or community committee meeting we would like to sincerely thank Amanda for her contribution to Wairoa and we hope we can keep her involved in the community and stay connected.

Looking ahead it is important, if we are to be effective that team work is key. We look forward to working with Lance and have done so already in a small way when Lance was a board member in the very first term of Franklin Local Board. Back then Angela and Malcolm were Chairs of community groups and would attend the Wairoa Reps clinics, which are still going. Lance too has an interest in Transport and through is Chimney and Water Tank Cleaning business is travelling the rural and urban roads of Wairoa frequently. Over the next few months we hope you will see us all and get to know Lance if you haven’t already met him. It will take a little while for us to work out how we balance out the work load and maintain the momentum but we are committed to doing our best for Wairoa.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY DIAL 111



Early Clevedon families: the Bells provided and written by Jessie Munro

The Bell family, still living along Monument Road where James and Helen Bell made their home in 1863, are another of Clevedon’s Scottish-origin families. James was born in Perthshire in 1832. He was a stonemason initially but studied in Edinburgh for his diploma in veterinary surgery. A childhood neighbour, David Bruce, was by 1853 a Presbyterian minister in Auckland, and this may have influenced James to emigrate, but he recalled that it was Charles Hursthouse’s 1857 two-volume promotional book, New Zealand, or Zealandia, the Britain of the South, which in 1859 led him to Auckland Province with its offer of 40 acres to potential settlers. Like others, he became dubious on arrival about the fertility of the prospective land, so instead he worked in Auckland as a stonemason, buying a small landholding in Remuera, which he soon exchanged for land in the Wairoa, at first in West Road. He was obviously optimistic about his new environment for he returned briefly to Scotland, making speeches urging others to take the opportunities in the new land. He helped his elder brother David to settle with his family in Pakuranga, thus establishing another branch of the Bell family in Auckland. Helen (sometimes known as Ellen) was born in 1836 and arrived as a child in Auckland on the Duchess of Argyle in 1842 with the new capital’s very first immigrants. Her parents, James and Abigail Gollan, were from Paisley, near Glasgow. She wouldn’t be far from her birth family when she married James Bell in December 1862 and moved from Tamaki to a farm on the Wairoa River, which James had just purchased, giving it the original Māori name for the location: Hukerewai. As newly marrieds, they were fortunate to have a house waiting for them. Previous owners Thomas and Jean Millar had erected a prefabricated house, and Alfred Thorp’s 1860 diary records cutting 15,000 shingles to roof it. The Bells’ married life began, however, during the difficult times of the 1863 Waikato War, and when the women were evacuated at one stage, Helen returned to her mother Abigail’s home in Auckland until it was deemed safe to return. Helen and James would have nine children, but three died young. Their eldest son died of peritonitis when he was only 16, just months before the birth of the youngest, who was named Alexander after him. The older Bell children married into local families: Abigail to Archibald McNicol, Mary and Margaret to brothers Cunningham and Robert Atchison, and James to Mary Sutherland. The Bell children benefited from a strong belief in education. Schooling in Auckland Province had been a rather ad hoc affair during the early years of settlement, with uneven provision. On 14 May 1869 James Bell was reported in the Daily Southern Cross, arguing in support of changes to come into effect with the Common Schools Act of that year: ‘That the country districts are neglected, improperly supplied and insufficient inducement is held for respectable teachers in general, there can only be one opinion.’ Since ‘education is the best legacy we can bequeath our children’, he said, Wairoa residents, ‘as parents, Christians and useful members of society’, should give the Act their support. After discussing the various aspects, James Bell’s conclusion was moderate and pragmatic. ‘We do not arrive at perfection all at once, and probably we may get the Act amended when the Council meets. Something needs to be done, and something is better than nothing.’ Daughters Helen and Margaret would complete the highest level at Wairoa South School and continue on to secondary education, the only girls then to do so, at the Ladies College and Grammar School in Auckland. In the 1860s James would purchase other land in Ness Valley and elsewhere. He was a successful and innovative farmer. His grandson Gordon Bell commented (with examples of implements) that James seemed to have the most up-to-date agricultural machinery in the district. In 1866 he was recorded as taking first prize in the Papakura Agricultural Association’s annual show ‘for the best 15lb cheese’. (It’s safe to assume Helen had some input in the cheese-making.) James Bell encouraged the arrival in 1866 of the first blacksmith in the Wairoa, Andrew Alexander. A blacksmith/farrier was essential in a 19th-century farming district. James lent the Alexanders £100 to buy 20 acres near the present-day Monument corner where they would have their home and smithy. He was also instrumental in promoting a local dairy industry. In March 1884 he sold a five-acre strip of land running from East Road down to the river for the Wairoa South Butter and Cheese Factory, said to be among the earliest in New Zealand. Helen was one of the 56 Clevedon women who signed the important 1893 Suffrage Petition, gaining women the vote. Three years later she died, aged 59, on 2 December 1896. James was 70 when he died on 10 March 1902. Their son Alexander David carried on the family farm. Before the A&P showgrounds were bought, the shows had begun in 1909 in the Bells’ front paddock and Buckland’s saleyard. A.D. Bell, as he was familiarly known, had a strong commitment to community and church life and for many years was Session Clerk (leading elder) for the Presbyterian Church. He was highly regarded as a fine farmer and stockbreeder and worked to promote the interests of farming communities in general. Local president at the beginnings in Clevedon of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union, by 1911 he was on the first Board of Directors of the Farmers’ Union Trading Company (now Farmers), serving for 41 years, 15 as Chairman of Directors. In his 1943 chairman’s address to shareholders, reported in the 23 June Auckland Star, he emphasised that ‘while the profit motive was a reward for enterprise, the company had not lost sights of its obligations. Firstly, the company had sold goods at a competitive price and given the public value for its money. Secondly, it saw that its employees worked under the best conditions, for it realised that there was more in human associations than simply paying a wage without further responsibility.’ He became Manukau County Council Chairman in 1917, and it was largely through his advocacy that the land for Clevedon’s war memorial was acquired. Buying the property, settling with Manukau County to purchase a section of it as a council yard, having the memorial site dedicated as a public reserve, and erecting the monument was a long process. A.D. Bell finally took action when it seemed there was insufficient Council money available to pay for the chosen site. Family recollection is that he ‘said that he would take the honorarium that he was entitled to but had never claimed as Chairman of the County Council and use it to pay for the land’. Seven grandchildren of James and Helen Bell would live on farms in the district. Farming and community involvement have continued through following generations, and a memorial stone placed in 2013 at the entrance to Hukerewai commemorates the 150 unbroken years of members of the Bell family farming the same land in Clevedon.

Clevedon Sports Club - Exciting times for Clevedon sports fans

The Clevedon Sports Club, a new joint venture of the Clevedon Soccer, Cricket, Rugby and Bowling Clubs, will be officially launched on Sunday November 3rd at 12 noon. The local community is invited to this family friendly event being held to celebrate the completion of extensions to the Bowling Clubrooms at the Showgrounds on Monument Road. There will be plenty of fun and games for young and old alike, including a sausage sizzle This is a a great opportunity to thank all the sponsors and supporters who have helped turn this imaginative concept into reality. A small dedicated group has created a new 'home' for the four sports clubs involved, including a much needed viewing pavilion and storage facilities. The Bowling Club has welcomed this development and it sees this new sports club concept as an opportunity to increase membership and interest in their game. The Sports Club is keen to involve the local community in the management of the club says Chairman Neal McKendrick.

NEWS FROM OUR FRIENDLY CONSTABLE and NEIGHBOURHOOD SUPPORT

In a landscape dotted with active volcanoes and rift zones with a history of serious flooding, snow, windstorms and more - part of the price we pay for living in paradise is knowing that New Zealand is a disaster-prone nation. This month we're here to remind our members and supporters that emergency preparedness isn't as much a choice as it is a responsibility for us all to look after ourselves, our family, our neighbours, and community. If an emergency were to strike today do you think your neighbourhood is prepared ? We will be sharing tips and advice to help you show your community through Neighbourhood Support that a little effort goes a long way to staying comfortable and safe no matter what life throws our way. If your households are already feeling thoroughly prepared, encourage them to reach out to their neighbours and see if they need a hand or exchange a list of skills and items they might be able to provide each other in an emergency. It's likely they'll find that the most important resource to have

on hand isn’t their neighbours’ stuff: it's their neighbours themselves.

Be prepared for anything,

A STORY FROM THE SPCA: JINX THE LONG TIME RESIDENT

LOCAL SNIPPETS

SPCA’s Auckland Centre is searching for a home for its longest resident: a horse who has been in their care for 1594 days. The horse, Jinx, has unluckily been named the longest stay SPCA animal in the country. She has spent over four years in SPCA’s care.

Jinx does not have any special requirements other than the need for endless love. She arrived at SPCA Auckland’s Centre in June 2015 and she is now a beautiful 11-year-old looking for her forever home.

“Jinx has the sweetest nature, loves human attention, and is a very gentle pony. Although she can’t be ridden, she is incredible with young stock and is friendly with donkeys and goats,” says Fiona McDonald, SPCA Auckland Centre Rural Animal Technician.

Jinx has been at a fantastic foster home and has responded well to positive training. She would make an amazing companion for her new owner and any other horses as a paddock mate, best suited to a home that is experienced with horses where she can continue her training.

SPCA operates a no time limit policy for adoption animals, meaning Jinx will stay in SPCA’s care until she finds a family. Adoption fees are $230 and Jinx is has had full health checks, had dental work, up-to-date vaccinations, and full worming treatments. Anyone interested in adopting Jinx can contact SPCA’s Auckland Centre by calling 09 256 7300, or by visiting SPCA’s website at www.spca.nz

Clevedon Community & Business Association

Clevedon is changing - and it’s requiring some patience and a calm focus on what we will achieve as a Village. However a look through our history shows Clevedon is always changing. The Wairoa River is why our settlement is here. From the beginning it was our goods and people transport to and from Auckland via Tamaki Strait. The tangata whenua of the Clevedon area are Ngai Tai who are descendant from the Tainui waka. In 1854 an entry from Clevedon settler Hampton Thorp’s diary, after one of his first trips up the river, reads … as they “pulled up” the Wairoa River they “caught glimpses of the riverside gardens cultivated by Ngai Tai for the Auckland markets …” Clevedon – then called Wairoa - must have grown quickly as by 1859 it had a primary school and over the decades gained the other village requirements – pub, Post Office and Parish Church. The Wairoa River continued to take butter and cheese to Auckland and bought back holiday makers until local roads connected up with the main Auckland routes around 1950. The community thrived through the 60’s, building our “new” community hall, but, as with all NZ rural farming communities, struggled through the 1970’s. And our proximity to Auckland has kept us adapting with the city folk currently coming to Clevedon for, among other things, the markets and nearby beaches, walks etc., to attend weddings and events, and are now using us as a film location. Watercare has started construction work on laying water and waste water pipes through Clevedon which is fantastic We have to do it - for a lot of Clevedon people, this started back in 2007 with the Ormiston Report for the then Manukau City Council on the failings of the current wastewater solutions for properties in the Clevedon Village. The works will without a doubt cause disruption for the village and villagers but will also provide us an opportunity to focus on the great outcomes this will give Clevedon (Example one: No more smelly winter days in the Village!) And it does seem we have the sympathy of Watercare who have agreed to avoid works in the main township during our busy lead up to Christmas (including our Clevedon Christmas Parade Saturday 30

th

November 11am – 2pm, Clevedon Main Street. For float enquiries, please email [email protected]) We would all agree it would be nice to feel we have some control over change. As mentioned many times in the Round Up, in 2015 the Clevedon CBA’s Design and Planning subcommittee started Clevedon Conversations, which asked the people of Clevedon if they had a magic wand, what would they like Clevedon to be like after subdivisions and development. This has crystallized into the Clevedon Village Design Framework which we launched earlier this year with a couple of successful wine and cheese evenings. We are now up to the last two stages of this project and we wish to continue it with the professionalism shown throughout. And this requires money. The Clevedon CBA plans to scratch together enough to cover the first step but we will have to go to the Clevedon community, businesses and friends to raise the further funds required to complete the project with a second step. We’ll be announcing soon how people can help.

Wairoa Valley Business Directory 2020
