Four generations of Jaques boys have worked in the Kaiwaka Four Square, which is celebrating its 90th birthday this year.Frank Jaques started the store in 1925, when it provided everything for the rural community, from curtains to coffins. Much of the produce was sourced locally, and customers would often pay with a dozen eggs, or fruit from the garden.Frank was also the pioneer who brought ice cream to the district, which quickly became a hit. His five sons – Bill, Brian, Alan, Reg and Ken – and one daughter, Pam, were born in the family house just behind the store and grew up in the shop.“We knew everyone in the town, and everyone knew us. It was like one big family,” Brian says.Bill Jaques, the oldest son, worked in the store for nearly 50 years, starting in 1949 after finishing high school.“It was just after the war, and there weren’t a lot of workers around, so I came to help out.”But as the other brothers finished school they all donned an apron and set to work until retirement. Each brother took over a different department, from selling firearms, working the milk bar and petrol station, to sourcing produce. When Pam married the local baker she left

the shop but continued to be involved supplying the bread to the store.The brothers also had a band together, called Jaques Band, which played at dances throughout the area.“When we started we would be playing every Friday and Saturday night,” Brian says.The old time dance band is still together and plays about three concerts a year.During the 1960s, supermarkets became more popular, and competition started springing up in surrounding towns. So in 1967 the brothers built a new store on the site and it became part

of the Four Square franchise.“We believed we wouldn’t have survived without the change,” Bill says.In 1998 Brian’s sons Greg and Glen took over the store with their wives, Paula and Dalleise. But Brian still works at the store three days a week, in his 54th year at the store at the age of 80.There have been a lot of time savers over the years as modern technology has made ordering and accounts a lot easier, and transport has improved, he says.“I remember in the 1960s they told us we’d all be talking on video phones, and we are just about there now,” Brian says.

But the job has also become a lot less personal, as suppliers have grown and become more centralised.Paula says it feels like a lot has changed just in the last 15 years as many farms have been replaced by lifestyle blocks.“Five years ago we couldn’t sell a jar of olives. Now people come in asking for cheeses I’ve never heard of.”The fourth generation of Jaques have also been learning the family trade. Glen and Dalleise’s two sons worked in the store as teenagers but have since gone on to work in the boat building business, while Greg and Paula’s son and daughter have also worked in the store.

Sales at the Sawmill Brewery have increased six-fold over the last three years, and the craft brewer is looking for new premises to triple its output.Head brewer Mike Sutherland says they were selling beer as fast as they could make it last summer.One of the reasons for the brewery’s growth was highlighted at the New Zealand Brewers Guild Awards last month, when it took home five medals.The Sawmill’s dark lager ‘Doctor’ and their stout won silver in their categories, while their pilsner four-

The brewery’s pilsner and 12 Gauge beers also won bronze.It is the second time the brewery has entered the awards, last year winning gold for their pilsner and bronze for their wheat beer ‘Crystal’.Demand, as well as quality, has been a driving force behind the brewery’s growth. At a craft beer conference in Wellington last month, ANZ spokesperson John Bennett said

Not your run-of-the-mill beer

A line-up of winners.from previous pagedemand for craft beer was growing at 25 per cent per annum in NZ and was expected to triple over the next decade.“Craft beer is where wine was 20 years ago,” John said. “But NZ breweries need to expand to take advantage of growth, both at home and abroad.”Mike took over the brewery with his wife, Kirsty McKay, in late 2010, just months after brewing his first batch of homebrew.The former exporter set about doubling production in the first year. Production was again doubled in 2012 with the addition of two fermenting tanks and the brewery now has five staff.Mike says it has been difficult to find a new site for the brewery and he is still on the hunt, but says he will not move the brewery from Mahurangi.“This is our home. We love it here. It’s also a great place for beer because people associate the area with quality. We also owe a lot of credit to the

reputation of The Sawmill as a venue for getting us to where we are. But we have to move on.”Two other Mahurangi brewers netted medals at the Brewers Guild Awards –Zeffer Cider and 8 Wired. Zeffer won gold for their Slap Ma Girdle cider and silver for their Zesty Citrus cider. Zeffer started out in Matakana, but has moved production to bigger premises in Silverdale. But the brewers, Hannah Bower and Sam Whitmore, are still based in Warkworth.The multi-award winning beer label, 8 Wired, will start production in Warkworth by the end of the year. Head brewer Soren Eriksen has been living in Warkworth for the past year and is establishing the label’s first brewery on Glenmore Drive. Until now, the beers have been brewed in Blenheim. In 2011, 8 Wired won the top prize of Champion NZ Brewery at the Brewers Guild Awards, while this year they picked up eight medals, including three golds and three silvers.

More than 150 people got their rods and rifles out for the third annual Boar Hunt based in Kaiwaka last month.With 152 entries it was the largest event the Point Curtis Cruising Club has hosted, with hunters from as far afield as Cape Reinga contending for the $13,000 prize pool.There were 13 boars submitted, with Holly Andrews bringing in the heaviest boar at 71.5kg, shot near Broadwood.Kerikeri hunter Simon Walker’s boar had the best-measured tusks at 29cm.This year the competition was expanded to a pheasant hunt. Tony Smith from Kaiwaka got the heaviest pheasant, at 1.4kg, while Andrew Kenny from Pahi caught the heaviest two snapper at 9.4kg and 6.7kg.

Thirteen boar were entered into the Kaiwaka Boar Hunt last month, with Holly Andrews bringing in the heaviest boar at 71.5kg.

The heaviest pheasant was caught by Tony Smith

Big turnout for Kaiwaka huntIt’s possum huntin’ time again as Paparoa Primary School holds its sixth annual possum purge, from September 11 to 14.Last year 800 possums were culled raising about $8000 for the school.Paparoa teacher Alison Cadmon says the fundraiser has a triple benefit. It helps control possums in the area, teaches pupils about the impacts possums have on the environment, and raises funds from the sale of the fur.It is the biggest event the school holds each year and brings the whole community together, she says.“We wanted to do something more than just a bake sale, to get the community involved and help the environment,” Alison says. “The kids love it too.”The fur is taken to Hawkes Bay possum pelt producer, Basically Bush, and is the biggest earner for the school.“We did look into selling the meat for

pet food, but because they’re hunted in the wild, we couldn’t guarantee the safety of the meat.”This year the school is fundraising for shade sails so pupils can play in the sandpit, out of the summer sun.Prize giving is on Sunday September 14 from 11am at the school. There are more than $5000 worth of prizes, with awards for most possums, most hand plucked fur, best team name and spot prizes.There will be a bouncy castle and slide, family activities, kids competitions, ice cream sundaes and a sausage sizzle at the prize giving.Registration is $10 for adults, children are free. Registration forms from the school, Paparoa Hotel, 100% Fergus Appliances Maungaturoto, or online at paparoa.school.nz or email [email protected] All pre-registrations by September 10 will go into a draw for a Holiday Weekend. Registrations close September 13.

Ultimate man cave ... with more than a touch of nostalgiaIt might be the ultimate man cave, but for the owner it’s simply a place to put his collectable junk and chill out.Despite being infamous with locals and car clubs, Jamie prefers to keep his shed out of the public radar. Until now, as he prepares to hand over the keys and sell it along with the family property.While his shed has benches of old woodworking tools, there is no mistaking this is a ‘toy room’ rather

than a classic kiwi shed to build and fix things.Instead it has the perfect ingredients for a man cave with a replica old gas station entry, a bar room and snooker table, road and iconic local business signs, old traffic lights and Jamie’s favourite toy - 1 red and blue 1980s police bar lights and LED cans that flicker to the beat of the rock ’n roll music.Then there are the bigger boys’ toys – about a dozen cars and trucks. That’s

how the shed started five years ago, after his wife insisted it was built before he bought another car - a 40th anniversary GT Falcon. “She had the brains, she knew once I built the shed I couldn’t afford to buy any more cars. I was lucky, not every man gets carte blanche on a shed.”The shed houses an enviable collection including a 1956 F100 Ford Pick Up (30,000 miles, one US owner) and a 1979 W924 Kenworth truck.

“Most people think I’m a Ford nut, but I like all cars – if it’s got wheels and it burns petrol, rubber or diesel, then I love it. But I do love my big trucks.”Dented V8 supercar parts line his shed walls, each one carrying a memory. When asked to explain the crumbled Ford Credit FPR bonnet, signed by Glenn Seton and Steven Richards, he instantly recalls the 2001 Pukekohe race, where he was spotted on live TV

QUALITY – VALUE – TRUST

We have a huge selection of quality vehicles on offer

scarpering across the infield rack with his latest treasure. His memorabilia is often procured through ‘a box of beers’ and other collectables are gifted to him as a trusted caretaker. He says it’s not hoarding, it’s about saving treasures from the scrap metal heap, including the station control room from the original Warkworth Satellite Station.“I never intended for it to end up like this. I just had some memorabilia, collectable junk, maybe a bit of a sign fetish. I got a little bit carried away I suppose.” The shed was also partly built from recycled commercial material including castellated roll steel joist

beams, down shop gantry crane beams, and 16 tonne concrete panels. While there is a lot of ‘manliness’ going on in this man cave, it comes from a sensitive place of nostalgia. Jamie can recall a story about each ‘piece of junk’ in his shed, from his kids toys to his mother’s dental nurse veil.He enjoys it when older visitors reminisce, or younger generations learn something new. “It takes people back, it’s history, why throw it away.” He’ll be taking his most precious memorabilia, and cars, with him before he hands over the keys to the shed, and says he’s ready to pass the rest on to the ‘right person’ who can keep it going or put their own touch on the ultimate man cave.
