Broadband ‘boost for Kaipara’ by Ann Morgan
Kaipara citizens are being asked to respond to a government survey on broadband, with chair of commissioners, John Robertson saying better service could boost the local economy.
All four Northland councils are working together with Northland Inc. to produce a joint Northland-wide response to the government’s call for reaction to the rollout of ultra-fast broadband, improved rural broadband and better mobile coverage.
Communities are asked to share their thoughts via a short online survey and to share their thoughts about what improved broadband and mobile coverage might mean to them.
“Improved digital infrastructure is an important part of driving better
economic results for the Kaipara region. We encourage the community to take part,” says Mr Robertson.
“Understanding the strength of consumer demand is key to the proposal, we need feedback from the community about ways they might take advantage of better broadband and phone coverage.
“We’ll be contacting ratepayer groups and business associations over the next couple of weeks to discuss what these benefits might be.”
The $360 million package in government funding is to extend
broadband and improve cell phone coverage across the country.
In Northland, the funding has the potential to accelerate the delivery of high-speed broadband to more towns and faster broadband to rural areas, and improve mobile coverage along state highways and popular tourist areas to reduce ‘black spots’.
Respondents have until Friday, June 5 to complete the survey.

Hullo sailors…
Students from Selwyn Park School enjoy a day of Rippa Rugby with St Joseph’s, Dargaville and Ruawai Primary. Year three to six students competed against one another during the Northern Wairoa Northland Primary Schools Rippa Rugby day described by co-organiser Bruce Robertson as being “all about the kids. It has been excellent to see the children enjoying themselves, exercising and being competitive,” he said.
The Northland Emergency Services Trust rescue helicopter received a cheque for $2,000 from the Northern Wairoa Lions and Polwarth Design. The groups held a fashion parade at the Commercial Bed and Breakfast to raise funds for this cause. Cheryl Polwarth was motivated to help NEST as she has had family require their services. “It is of personal interest. They go out so many times and make a big difference,” she said.
Members of the Maungaturoto Rotary Club went sailing on Northlands iconic tall ship R. Tucker Thompson for a cruise of Whangarei Harbour. It was a case of all hands on deck, and David Orford (left) and Ted Mooney from Maungaturoto manned the wheel for a watch, “They steered the ship with aplomb, before, once back on shore, ‘splicing the mainbrace’,” said fellow traveller, Bet Nelley.

Te Radar to plant trees in Kaipara by Ann Morgan
Media personality Te Radar will be planting trees on a Maungaturoto dairy farm helping the Otamatea HarbourCare Society help support farmers by planting trees around waterways.
“Our bluegrass band, Otherwise Fine, has played at the Warkworth A and P Show for the last few years. I knew to expect to see Radar there as MC and I thought I could invite him to attend a planting day,” said Otamatea HarbourCare Society secretary Mark Vincent.
As it happened, Radar approached Mark for a chat and the invitation was extended for him to join the group on a planting day.
“He was happy to oblige, and even suggested a date. The day is open to anyone who wishes to attend,” said Mark.
People will need to bring their own spade, gloves and water bottle. Children are welcome as long as they come with a responsible adult.
“I have visited the area before but regrettably won’t be able to go anywhere else this trip,” said Radar.
“People should come along to see what great work the HarbourCare team are doing, they might not be aware of the project and they have the chance to be a part of it, or just see how much has been done, and how much there is left to do.
“Harbours are extremely important, not just because of the ecological role as breeding areas and as havens for biodiversity, but because they are great
Te Radar will be attending the next Otamatea HarbourCare tree planting day
places to fish and boat and swim and to just sit and stare at.
“We are a nation founded around harbours, and they are often underappreciated. More people should spend time in, on, or near them.”
The event is scheduled to start at 9am in Maungaturoto and ends with some refreshments around midday on Saturday, June 6.
Those interested to plant alongside Radar, need to register with Mark either on 021 0829 8037 or email [email protected].
Publications win accolades by Paul Campbell
Newspapers published by Dargaville’s NorthSouth Multi Media as well as its staff have earned top awards at the annual conference in Queenstown of the New Zealand Community Newspapers Association.
The company won Best Front Page for its Waikato Farming Lifestyles title and runner-up titles for Best Advertising Feature in the Kaipara Lifestyler and for Sales Excellence, which went to Northern Farming Lifestyles sales executive, Betty Willets.
The award citation said the Waikato Farming Lifestyles front page displayed “a character photo with a simple tag line — ‘Droving days’… showing a caravan, a handy flat deck truck, a washing line adorned with nappies, a couple of dogs, the drover, his horse and small mate up top — and you really are in the country. Promos promised plenty more inside.”
NorthSouth Multi Media production manager, Jessica Wright said the reason she chose the front page was “because I liked the content of the photo and I thought the vibe that the photo had was good, plus it included people. It helped that the story was a good story as well and had some more fantastic photos to go with it.“
Sales executive Betty Willetts said “Northern Farming Lifestyles started out as a job but didn’t take long to grow into a passion.”
“I suppose the best way to put it is… I now have hundreds of not just clients but really good friends. I love
ringing and introducing people to the Northern Farming Lifestyles and get a buzz when they ring me to tell me how great the response was or helping to figure out what we should do to improve their presence in the paper.”
“I am so proud of all of the NorthSouth Multi Media team,” said general manager, Deb Wright.
“Every department has a role to play in putting our publications out and achieving the awards that we have received.
“I also want to recognise the work that Betty does in sales. She is able to go head to head with city publications and do exceptionally well. It shows the hard work that she puts in every day as part of our awesome team.”

New workshop in town by Ann Morgan
There are new owners at the mechanical workshop in Paparoa, next to the GAS service station.
Lifestyle Auto’s owners Roger and Mary Price have lived in Paparoa for 10 years with Roger commuting to Auckland for the past year, before the opportunity came up to open his own workshop.
“We have cleaned up the premises and rearranged things and are in the process of turning our business into a modern workshop. There is no office inside the door anymore, which makes things more visible for everyone,” said Roger. Roger Price from Lifestyle Auto’s Paparoa
“I did my apprenticeship in Te Puke, in a country garage, it seems I started in one and have ended up in one.
“I am an all round mechanic and am bringing more modern technology and experience with me. We have a brake lathe and have experience with hydraulics, and field servicing tractors.
“Lots of people have come through the door to see what we are doing. We enjoy living here and look forward to providing our services to the local community.”
Lifestyle Auto’s offer all mechanical services on all vehicles including tractors, trucks and buses. Warrant of Fitness tests are also available and they open Monday to Friday and Saturday mornings. Contact 09 431 6620.
Young leaders gather by Ann Morgan
Te Kopuru senior school pupils attended the National Young Leaders conference in Auckland along with 2,500 others from across the country.
“It was a great opportunity for the older students to hear inspirational speakers. They told their personal stories, encouraging teamwork, courage and resilience,” said teacher Marie Birkenhead.
“William Pike, an amputee from the Mount Ruapehu eruption, spoke on passion with no limits and Darryl Sabin, who dreamed to be an All Black, told his story of how he played rugby after being told not to and came away with a catastrophic brain injury, which meant he had to fight for his life.”
The students also heard Phoenix Pule’anga, who was in the movie Born to Dance. He encouraged the children to make the most of life. “The best thing I had was peanut butter sandwiches without peanut butter,” said Phoenix.
They learnt how the hardest part of any journey is to begin.
“The children returned to school inspired to believe in themselves and aim high in life. To drive their passions to achieve and anything is possible, everyday is a good day, to follow your dreams.”
Leaders from Te Kopuru school were able to travel to the National Young Leaders conference in Auckland

Beneath the SurfaceJohn Robertson QSO
Chair of Commissioners
A High Performing Council OrganisationSoon after our appointment, the Commissioners tasked then Chief Executive Steve Ruru to prioritise matters around capping Council’s debt, fixing incorrectly set rates, and driving home accountability for past negligent decision-making and auditing. We were in crisis management, needing to first understand, and then put right Kaipara’s many challenging issues.
While these urgent tasks were top of the agenda, we needed also to set the medium and long-term goals for the organisation.
Dr Jill McPherson has now taken over from Steve Ruru. We have charged her with shaping the Council organisation into a well functioning one. We have set a goal – that by the time Kaipara returns to being governed by an elected Mayor and Councillors, in October 2016, the Council organisation will be a “high performing” one. What then do we mean by “high performing”, and who will be the judge on its achievement? The Commissioners and management meet in in June to define this precisely. I have set out my initial thoughts below. Your feedback would be appreciated, for the Council we govern is your Council.
We know the purpose of local government. This is set out in legislation. In my view, to graduate from where we are today to being a high performing organisation, we must:
• meet our legislative responsibilities, 100 percent. (The compliance test).
• rank in the top 25% or above among our peers in terms of our operational performance. (The operational test).
• be conversing with community groups in every town and village in Kaipara, (The engagement test).
• honour consistently through dialogue and partnerships with iwi and hapu of standing, the spirit of the Treaty of Waitangi. (The Treaty test).
• rank in the top 25% or higher against the expectations of our Kaipara constituency. (The service test).
These are tough tests to pass. On the latter one for instance, Councils rarely are ranked well. Councils are often seen as barriers to progress,
rather than enablers. Thus we are seeking to transform the organisation, to have you at the forefront of our reason to exist.
We have begun our work to change. Over the past twelve months Council staff have developed a vision statement that they feel will meet your expectations. Over the past two months, we have consulted on this statement through our long-term plan process. The vision statement is:
Kaipara – where it’s easy to live
Now it is time for the strategies needed to meet this vision. The building blocks are being put in place, including.
• At a management level, Dr McPherson has now her full compliment of the executive leadership team in place. They are fully committed to the vision. They will lead the change process.
• A set of values has been adopted by all who work at the Council, being integrity, teamwork and delivering value.
• At a whole of staff level, a culture of customer service is being put in place. This is visible at the front offices in Dargaville and Mangawhai. It now needs to infiltrate the whole organisation.
• A sense of urgency to implement the changes, to build momentum, is being encouraged throughout the organisation. Eighteen months is not much time to complete the tasks.
• Enablers for high performance are being developed, new processes worked on, and technology applied. Likewise, barriers to change are being identified.
There are already quick “wins” appearing. These are important – whether they be finding a process that is in place that has no purpose, or being recognised nationally for leading edge processes, as happened last month for our building team.
Transforming an organisation is challenging, but for the staff and stakeholders involved, it can be most fulfilling. Kaipara citizens deserve a Council of excellence. Our goal is to help you achieve this.
Sharing the love by Ayla Miller
A shared love of music has kept Dargaville couple Lilian and Paul Howard together for 72 years on May 20.
Paul grew up in Maropiu and Lilian was born in Ponsonby. The pair met in 1942 at a dance in Auckland and the next year they were married and went on to have 13 children.
“I used to play guitar, ukulele and mandolin and Lilian was a singer. My cousin and brother and I made up a sort of orchestra and Lilian was our vocalist for a while,” said Paul.
Paul worked as a river steam engineer for the Devonport Steam Ferry for the majority of their married life and Lilian
cared for their children, only retiring in Dargaville in 1984. Now 89 and 90 years of age, Lilian and Paul Howard are still going strong.
They have over 50 great grandchildren and Paul says, “Living is a joy to us, we are lucky to have a family like we do. I always say I was one of the lucky ones, to bring up a family. It is a gift.”
The couple celebrated their long marriage with friends, music and singing. “We had a good day. Lilian even sang again.”
It was music that brought Lilian and Paul Howard together and music that has kept them together for 72 years
A visit with the prince
Steve Guthrie from Dargaville was by chance at the Auckland Spinal Rehabilitation Unit when Prince Harry had a tour of the facilities. After a formal welcome, the Prince met and chatted with a number of the patients. Steve was able to demonstrate to the Prince the physiotherapy exercises he has been doing in rehab following an operation. He was using tabletop physio props to increase wrist strength prompting the royal comment, “a piece of Kiwi ingenuity.”

Calling on citizens by Ayla Miller
Time is all they ask for at the the Dargaville and Districts Citizens Advice Bureau, as the organisation calls for more volunteers to help in their Hokianga Road office.
People would need to be available three hours a week between 10am and 1pm.
“We currently have about 10 volunteers but ideally we would like more to cover shifts when people are away,” says managing coordinator Wendy. Due to the confidential nature of the job, volunteers and staff only go by their first names.
CAB has been running for 36 years in Dargaville and assists with consumer affairs, legal advice, tenancy issues and much more.
Long term volunteer Mary has been offering her time for 35 of those years and says: “It’s amazing. You get all this information and it expands your mind
Citizens Advice Bureau volunteers Neville and Mary find their volunteer work expands their minds and are keen to see others become involved
tremendously. You become aware of so much happening in the community.”
The bureau aims to represent a cross section of society. “It is open to everyone, every citizen. No question is too big or too small. If it isn’t something we know about, we can refer the question to someone who does,” says regular volunteer Neville.
“Volunteers don’t need to know everything. They just need to know how to access information.”
Training is once a week for seven weeks and includes computer skills. Those interested in lending a hand can pick up an application form from the office at Dargaville Hall at 37 Hokianga Road, Dargaville.
Musical get together Local musicians Olly Knox and Dan Collette are joining forces for New Zealand Music month, performing at the Aratapu Tavern on Saturday, May 30 from 7pm.
The singer-songwriters are well known amongst the local music scene but have not performed together for a while. Based in Dargaville, Olly also runs an event management company KP Productions which helps to promote and works with artists around New Zealand and internationally.
Olly’s music is described as melodic and harmonious in style. As one listener explains “it’s like floating on gentle waves while the sun is sparkling on the water.” The internationally
renowned folk artist plans to record an album for release next summer. He has a new website and a remastered version of his 2011 album Crazy World, released online. “It is shaping up to be an exciting year ahead,” he says.
Together with special guest and Aratapu regular Dan Collett the mix of acoustic, light hearted, country folk rock is set to create a relaxed atmosphere for the audience.
”It promises to be a night filled with good music and good vibes.”

Kauri Coast discussionNorthland region’s economic development agency, Northland Inc Ltd, is holding a workshop at the Dargaville town hall on May 28 to discuss plans regarding a revamp of the Kauri Coast aiming to encourage more visitors to the area.
The Twin Coast Discovery Touring Route has been a key tool, aiming to increase visitor numbers and visitor spending across Northland.
The revamp of the route is the lead tourism-related project within the Tai Tokerau Northland Regional Growth Study, and the first project to begin. It spans Northland Inc’s work in tourism, Maori economic development and transport. The sub-regional positioning workshops are the first phase of this project and Craig Wilson of Quality Tourism Developments will host the meetings.
Representative of the Kauri Coast Tourism Development Trust and owner of Waipoua Lodge Ian Farrant says these discussions encourage the community to be involved with the future promotion of Northland‘s diverse tourism experience and to strengthen the western leg of the Twin Coast Discovery route.
“The western Kauri Coast and Hokianga have key heritage features. Cultural history, ancient kauri trees, gum diggers and settlers. Not to mention the uniquely beautiful and serene landscape and rural character. A western leg sub region builds on the natural history of the area. This amazing chance facilitates future
collaborative and positive promotion of our region and Northland to benefit all involved.”
The meeting will cover an outline of the project, desired outcomes from visitors, current assets and attractions and will be held from 10am until 1pm at the Conference Room of the Dargaville Town hall, 37 Hokianga Road.
October set as rail venture date by Ann Morgan
A new adventure of self driving converted golf carts along the unused railway line between Dargaville and Tangowahine is planned to be up and running on October 1.
Fellow directors of Port Dargaville Cruises, Sue and Dave Selby and John Hansen have worked closely with KiwiRail to turn the unused tracks into a tourism opportunity. The process has taken two years of developing, negotiating and planning.
“Initially the carts will offer return or one way trips to Tangowahine, with passengers able to return to Dargaville by van if desired. Eventually we want to have the option of travelling back via the Northern Wairoa river on ‘Daisy’, our scow which already operates river cruises,” said Mr Hansen.
They have secured the rights to go through to Waiotira when that section of line becomes available and plan to offer tourist packages, including weekend activities.
“KiwiRail have been extremely positive and supportive. It is a unique opportunity for Dargaville and we believe it will attract more visitors, adding to the activities on offer here. “We are hoping other tour operators and the public will
Port Dargaville Cruise directors Dave Selby and John Hansen with one of the rail carts which will run between Dargaville and Tangowahine
put forward ideas on what else we can do to arrange good package deals. Similar ventures are running in Rotorua and Taumarunui and they have been very helpful in our planning.
“It will be a great opportunity for Kaipara residents to get to see the area from a different perspective.
“The line takes you to places you don’t realise are there, along the river and over farmland. The views are quite beautiful and in places you can enjoy the thrill of a bungy jump without jumping off a cliff.”

Welcome to MangawhaiFive years for Zonta by Ayla Miller
The Zonta Club of Mangawhai have been empowering women in their community and internationally for five years this month.
The club celebrated their fifth birthday on May 25 with past and present members at the Mangawhai Golf Club, the same venue they gathered in when the group began.
Charter president, Liz Holsted, formed the group after arriving in Mangawhai from Auckland in 2005, knowing nobody.
Through word of mouth and support from Whangarei Zonta, the club began
Mangawhai Zonta charter president Liz Holsted
to take shape. By 2008 they had ten members and began to grow a profile through their community work, fundrais ing , organising raffles and other events.
They became official when they made the required 20 members in 2010.
“Zonta is my organisation of choice because it really gets things done. It is the foremost women’s organisation and has a very strong mission to support women throughout the world,” said Liz.
“I am hugely proud of what the Zonta Club of Mangawhai has achieved and what it is still achieving.”

Welcome to MangawhaiElite golfers tested on Mangawhai green by Ann Morgan
Widely recognised as one of New Zealand’s best golf courses, Mangawhai was in exceptional condition for the Tom Bonnington Trophy event. Renowned for the quality of its greens, the course was immaculate in every respect.
“For the first time in ‘The Bonnington’ history, an Elite Women’s division was held and played host to an outstanding field of golfers from across Northland, North Harbour and Auckland association,” said tournament director Stewart Speed.
“This was an amazing success, a truly outstanding field of very talented women golfers who enjoyed every challenge this great course threw at them. The men’s White Tee division also attracted a strong field of local and visiting golfers.”
Spectators took to the course, lending encouragement to all players and enjoying the precision of play.
“With handicaps as low as plus four, this was a line-up possibly stronger than ever seen at a Women’s event at Mangawhai. Some had not played the course before and were somewhat apprehensive, having heard many tales of how Mangawhai is a relentless challenge, ‘unbeatable’ is a widely-used description, for all aspects of the game.”
Sponsor Mike McGarry of Mangawhai’s A1 Coastal First National Real Estate was on hand to present prizes and spoke of his pleasure in being part of such a well-run and popular event. He especially welcomed the advent of the Women’s division.
The Tom Bonnington Cup, for Elite Men, will be staged later this year at Mangawhai and already the organising group has planning well under way.
The Tom Bonnington Trophy was won by Robbie Newman from Mangawhai with 138 nett and the Women’s First National Elite Trophy was won by Kylie Jacoby from Waipu with 156.
Sponsor Mike McGarry presents the First National Real Estate Trophy for Elite Women to Kylie Jacoby

Trophy haul for local teamIt is 30 years since First National began operation New Zealand, and in that time the real estate market has changed dramatically.
One thing is still the same — top service to the trade and to those buying, selling and investing deserves recognition.
Roper and Jones, the Kaipara’s representative of the nationwide First National brand, was established in 1926, and now maintains offices in Maungaturoto and Dargaville. John Powell & Jill Wilson have proudly owned this thriving company since 2010.
One might think — erroneously — that the top awards in real estate would only go to those professionals working in the busy Auckland market.
But once again First National Roper and Jones punched above their weight by gaining numerous awards at the combined Australia and New Zealand National Convention held recently in Queenstown for the brand.
The number of awards gained, for residential, rural and lifestyle block
sales, again proves that the First National Roper and Jones Team has consistently maintained a fantastic level of commitment to the residents of The Kaipara.
The opening night was held at A J Hackett’s Bungy Jump, where 4 Kiwis and 4 Aussies leapt into the darkness — a feat of bravery matched only by having to give a speech on the awards stage!
The conference was held predominantly at Coronet Peak, where the Aussies were thrilled to witness four inches of snowfall on the picturesque mountains.
The weather cleared the following day for unbelievable views for all to see. The conference and ceremony itself was extremely exciting with a number of awards taken by the Team of Roper and Jones, both as a team and on the level of individual agents.
Guarding a child’s interestsIn preparing a will, it is important for a parent to appoint a testamentary guardian for children, to be confident that person of trust will take care of them should something happen.
A testamentary guardian has all the rights and responsibilities of guardianship. These are set out in the Care of Children Act which specifies that a guardian is responsible for contributing to all aspects of a child’s development, as well as important matters affecting the child.
It is important to consider who would be best placed to make these decisions. Most parents may want to choose someone whose views align with theirs on such matters. It is also sensible to appoint someone who is likely to have an ongoing involvement in the child’s life.
If a parent is confident in the parenting ability of their child’s other parent they may choose not to appoint a guardian on their own death, if the other parent survives them. Instead, they can provide in their will that a testamentary guardian is only appointed if the child’s other parent does not survive them.
There may be reasons for a parent to appoint a joint guardian to exercise guardianship with the surviving parent on their death. This can be relevant for separated parents. If the child’s other parent has not been involved in his or her life, it may be prudent to appoint an additional testamentary guardian who knows both the parent and the child to allow for consistency of care in the child’s life following the death of a parent.
Updating, or putting in place a current will is critical to ensuring your wishes are likely to be in place regarding your children. Contact Hammonds Law today to ensure your Will is up to date.

For superior peace of mind by Andy Bryenton
We all want a healthier, warmer, safer place to live as the raging winter weather begins it yearly assault.
This covers a whole range of aspects, from heating and insulation to roofing, carpentry and glazing. But whatever you choose to undertake, in terms of pre-winter projects, the most important detail to check is the qualification of your chosen trade professional.
Because of the support offered, and access to information and training at the cutting edge of their professions, many tradies are now members of professional organisations, such as the Certified Builders or the Master Electricians of ECANZ — the Electrical Contractors Association of New Zealand.
Recently, Davison Electrical Contractors of Dargaville have joined up with this nationwide organisation, to
improve their access to support for safety, security and best practice management.
This gives their customers peace of mind as they hit the road this winter to install heat pumps, rewire renovations and make homes healthier for the cold weather. At the same time, qualified gasfitters and plumbers are on the case as well, with healthy, flued new gas heating systems and califonts the ‘hot ticket’ for 2015.
Modern gas systems are proving inexpensive to run and efficient for long-lasting heat in this generation, and the best news is that, if installed by qualified tradespeople, these devices outstrip old-style gas appliances by a huge factor, both in air purity, thermal output and cost-effectiveness.
The Davison Electrical team are now members of the respected ECANZ Master Electricians association

Congratulating Dargaville Ford
on 25 years supporting our
local community
A quarter century behind the blue oval by Andy Bryenton
The town of Dargaville has been the home of Ford vehicles for almost as long as the legendary automotive brand has been in existence.
In 1920, with the Model T still the flagship of the blue oval marque, Ford opened their first dealership by the Northern Wairoa river, providing a new mode of transport to a town built on the backs of bullocks and shire horses, as well as sail and steam.
Over the years Ford became part of the growing community, as the focus shifted from timber milling and gum digging to agriculture. Ford Populars and Prefects, the later Zephyrs and Cortinas, Escorts and Capris made up the transport for families, the first cars for local lads, and the test-beds for early dirt-track motorsport experimentation. Many a Windsor or Cleveland V8 has been torn down and rebuilt here, and even the local constabulary have rolled Molly and Lindsay — supporters of Ford, and of Dargaville business
out in Falcon and Sierra squad cars. Ford trucks served beside Kaipara-born soldiers in wartime.
Fast forward to 1990, and the lineup from Dearborn, Michigan’s most famous company was a strong one. This was the year that Dargaville’s well known Ford dealer Lindsay West took the helm at his premises on Normanby St, and old ledgers of sales and deliveries from that year record a fleet of Lasers, Fairmonts and Telstars heading off the forecourt and onto the road. Twenty five years later those badges have changed to Fiestas, Territories and Ranger utes, but the same principles which inspired
Lindsay’s decision to get into business then hold true today.
A big believer in customer service, Lindsay’s knowledgeable team exemplify the Ford company’s belief in seeing things from the customer’s perspective. A huge amount of time, effort, training and resources have been poured into the service department for this reason, with a team of technicians armed with the latest Ford knowledge. A big part of this team have earned, or are working toward the ultimate grade as Ford Master Technicians.
Dargaville Ford have seen some big changes around the region during

Community Flavour and Variety
CONGRATULATIONSLindsay & the whole Dargaville Ford team
on 25 years supporting our local community
The ‘old guard’ — the Dargaville Ford team from back at the dawn of Lindsay’s stewardship
Buoyed by the success of the popular Ranger ute, Ford in the Kaipara are first with farmers
Lindsay’s tenure. But many others have stayed the same. The company insists on being a huge part of the Arapohue Show each year, is a foundation exhibitor with the now mighty Northland Field Days, and their bold blue logo nicely complements the colours of the Sharks rugby team’s jerseys. In many small ways, the support of this
successful local business has forged a stronger community.
Twenty five years is a long time in any business, and in the auto trade it’s seen many models of vehicle come and go. The superb success of the current Ranger utility has seen this one model represent close to half of all light commercials in the region.
Would this have happened without a dedicated ford dealership in downtown Dargaville? Who knows. Ford worldwide have promised some interesting times ahead, with a pack of new vehicles set to be introduced to Kiwi roads. The new Mondeo is already making waves, and the Mustang and Everest are set to debut later this year.
No matter what new technology or innovations the Dearborn engineers devise, one thing is certain. Even after a quarter century, the business of matching Kaipara locals to the right vehicle is, at its heart, a ‘people’ business. And it’s the people who Lindsay has gathered to create the Dargaville Ford team who make the difference.
