Website: www.breambaynews.co.nz Waipu plans a parade for Paralympic medal winner Paralympic medal winner Fiona Southorn is due back in Waipu next week and Waipu people are planning a parade with pipers to celebrate her achievement. Fiona won her medal in the C5 women’s 3,000 metre pursuit race, taking 5 seconds off her personal Fiona Southorn best time for the distance. “I was a bit possessed. I wanted that bronze medal”, Fiona said after the award ceremony. With a time of 3.52.695 minutes she finished behind Britain’s Sarah Storey – 3.72.170 and Poland’s Anna Harkowska – 3.48.885. The event was held on Thursday 30 August, the first day of the games and Fiona’s bronze was the first New Zealand medal. This is the third time the 44 - year - old has competed at a Paralympics and the first time she has made it to the podium. Since her bronze medal event, Fiona has competed in the 500 metre Time Trial where she finished 7th and was part of the Team Sprint race where the New Zealand team came 10th. Yesterday, Wednesday 5 September, she was due to race in the 16km road time trial (at 11am UK time) and today, Thursday 6 September (at 3pm UK time) she is entered in the 56 km Road Race. Fiona was born with no left hand. The C5 category she races in consists mostly of people with arm or hand disabilities. The parade will be held in the main street of Waipu at 1.30pm on Monday 17 September. PH: 438 9452 34 Albert St Whangarei Div. Shadelite Industry 6 September 2012 Special visitors at Waipu Primary There was great excitement at Waipu Primary on Wednesday 22nd August when Olympic rowing medalists Mahe Drysdale and Juliette Haigh came to visit. The pair passed around their gold and bronze medals for the children to hold and listened to some singing – some new words put to the tune of “Row, row, row your boat.” Of course, once the famous visitors had left the teachers had the children write stories about the experience of meeting them. Year 5 student Summer Ford wrote: “I learned that when they were racing in their boats they felt heaps of pain but they never gave up, no matter what they felt like.” “It felt so cool to shake both of their hands and hand them our specially made card. I even got to thank them in front of the school”, wrote Year 6 student Callum McKay. WHAT IS IT WORTH TO YOU ?

I dashed out in raincoat and gumboots to feed my hens and came back inside with soaking wet knees. One feature of my new iphone, which I have come to like, is its local weather forecast. How does this work? I push the weather icon – a yellow sun with a sea/sky background. It takes a few moments – and then up comes the weather for today and tomorrow and every day until Saturday at North River, Waipu. If I touch the word North River it gives me an hourly weather prediction – rain all day today I am afraid, but tomorrow – Tuesday has an orange sun. “These are the days of miracles and wonder.” Some song lines say it all. On Saturday morning I was privileged to meet and talk to Don Abercrombie of Waipu, who has spent many years working for the Red Cross as a logistics co-ordinator in trouble spots around the world. His most recent posting was in Afghanistan. After talking to Don I have a sharpened interest in the debate over whether New Zealand should bring its military troopes home from that country. When detonation devices are set in the paths of International Committee of the Red Cross, ICRC, vehicles, which are there to provide impartial aid, it seems such a hopeless situation. I hadn’t realised how many people - 29 million live in Afghanistan. The pictures I have seen show a bleak looking place; cold, mountainous and continually at war. Imagine those 108,807 aid parcels, cooking utensils, soap and blankets arriving on board those two Beechcraft aeroplanes in isolated places and being handed out to people whose homes and food crops have been destroyed in the fighting. It must make a huge difference to their lives. I think Don’s story supports a theme song of mine at present. It makes more sense for young people to wait until they have some skills and life experiences before they go travelling the world. When on his OE he saw the refugees from the Rwanda conflict living in tent towns, Don already had valuable expertise working in the logistics departments of private companies. He was able to make a useful contribution to the work of the Red Cross. The rain has stopped and the sun has found a blue patch of sky to shine through. The iphone predictions are not always 100% correct. Heavy grey clouds still threaten from all sides but it’s looking a little bit more hopeful out there. I think how this is like the work of the ICRC in Afghanistan and other war zones around the world – a little bit of blue in a dark, threatening sky. lyn Mari THE BREAM BAY NEWS is published by Bream Bay News Ltd. • Address :RD 2, Waipu • P/Fax (09) 432 0209 • Mbl: 027 432 0070 • email: [email protected] Enjoy safe motoring, call in for a free tyre check.

A seawall along the north western edge of the Ruakaka campground peninsula is collapsing and Mike and Anne-Marie Abel, the campground managers are worried this will lead to the erosion and eventual loss of this original section of the campground. The estuary watercourse has moved closer to the peninsula edge and is undermining the 57 year old concrete wall. Pohutukawa trees growing at the cliff edge are likely to tumble into the sea and a large flat grassed area used as a picnic area by local people as well as for camping could be lost. Orange netting along the top of the cliff edge warn camp users that the cliff edge is unstable. The managers say the problem could be fixed with a rock wall similar to the one built at One Tree Point. Mike has gathered quotes to find how much this would cost and the price looks to be around $60,000. However the campground, which is facing a big bill for connection to the new Ruakaka south sewerage scheme, just doesn’t have the money to do this work at present. Camp fees went up 30% recently, the first major price rise in 35 years. The price is now $32 a night for a site for 2 people, $10.50 per night for every extra adult or $5.50 for every child from 5 – 15 years of age. “We can’t really put the price up again. We want to keep it affordable for the average family”, said Anne Marie. This is still cheaper then the rate at Camp Waipu Cove where the price for a 2 person non -powered campsite ranges from $34 - $40 depending on the time of year. The Department of Conservation ,which owns the land the campground is sited on is facing funding cuts of its own and is unlikely to come to the rescue. The campground managers have been told that at present the DOC line on the situation is to “monitor and retreat” that is to move camping sites away from the eroding cliff edge. The camp is administered by the Ruakaka Reserve Camp Board, a non - profit making body whose members are volunteers appointed by the Department of Conservation. 25!+!+! 02)#%"9.%'/4)!4)/. ¿Ía8»|a±a8±Æa Á8±8¼aaX¼±a´´ÊÁkÊat¼8¼ *XDUDQWHHG7R,PSUHVV (8±8OOa8ÆaÇ´Ç»|À´|8´»À±a8XX8»a´»|´|»8´´¡ 3DQRUDPLFRFHDQYLHZVZLWKOXVKSDVWXUHODQG +a»¿¡o8OÀ±aX8O±a´VÇ»|Ça±Xa´taXrFaX±|aVÀ´´a8±8»a ¿FaX±O»»8ta¡ GRPLQDWHVWKLVKLOOWRSRDVLV6HWRQPDQLFXUHG »|mma±t´ÀV´a88X´aOÀ´¡ È»aXaXm8É|a¡Oa±À±a±a8È8»¡,|´|amma±´8m»|a8FÆa¡ DFUHVZLWKRZQHUGHVLJQHGEHGURRPKRPHSOXV ,|´´ÉÀ±X±a8±a8´aX¡,a»8 a»Oa8Æa¡ 8»´aO»8X´»8 aÉÀ±O8¡ VHSDUDWHEHGURRPFRWWDJH%RWKRIIHULQJVXQVHD DQGVHFOXVLRQ([WHQGHGIDPLO\KRPH,QFRPHRU SXUHUHOD[DWLRQ7KLVKRPHRIIHUVDOORIWKHDERYH 7KLVLV\RXUGUHDPUHDOLVHG7LPHWRPDNHLWFRPH DOLYH&DOOWRLQVSHFWDQGVWDNH\RXUFODLP 9,(:ZZZKDUFRXUWVFRQ]5. ±a¼ 8´aÊ %UHQW&DVH\+DUFRXUWV5XDNDND *À8 8 8 3 (U Ír¼¿·Í¿o U Í¿¿·¿¿·¼ 0 U F±a»¡O8´aÉD|8±OÀ±»´¡O¡Ì (EUHQWFDVH\#KDUFRXUWVFRQ] 23U ÇÇÇ¡|8±OÀ±»´¡O¡Ì¹*¿¼¼ *2U ·¼oVÍÍÍ¡ÍÍ Ï+5*Ï,5, +Ï,*ÏÏÀÎÎf 4HISDOCUMENTHASBEENPREPAREDTOASSISTSOLELYINTHEMARKETINGOFTHISPROPERTY7HILEALLCAREHASBEENTAKENTOENSURETHEINFORMATIONHEREINISCORRECTWEDONOTTAKERESPONSIBILITYFORANYINACCURACIES!CCORDINGLYALLINTERESTEDPARTIESSHOULDMAKETHEIROWNENQUIRIESTOVERIFYTHEINFORMATION NE W LI ST IN G ENTRY LEVEL - NEST OR INVEST 34 Tamingi Street, Ruakaka Plenty of potential here!

Surely you must know as a responsible journalist of the need to check your facts before going to print. I therefore expect you to print a correction together with the reasons for my opposition given below. For the record, mangroves have for all practical purposed reached the physical limit of their expansion here in this part of the Ruakaka Wildlife Refuge they are no longer advancing into the estuary. This is because every time there is a strong ebb tide, especially after heavy rainfall in the catchment, germinating seeds and seedlings are swept out to sea and then deposited along the high water mark on Ruakaka beach. Remember seedlings can only take permanent root when there is little current and so there are insufficient numbers to justify disturbance of bird life. The natural forces are holding the line, they do not need any outside assistance. Indeed, ironically, there are less mangroves now in the application area as a result of unlawful poisoning back in 2004! However, there is not doubt that a certain amount of infilling and back - filling is still taking place in some areas of the estuary. Interestingly, exactly the same pattern of mangrove growth, including no further advance seaward, has been observed by the Northland Regional Council in Whangarei Harbour. If the applicants had only bothered to carry out an ecological survey they would have discovered what was actually going on in the refuge. They would have found there was even more banded rail habitat on the north side of the estuary opposite Princes Rd. and beyond. Frankly it was only too obvious that the applicant had little real knowledge or understanding of this particular stretch of the estuary relevant to their proposal. They even failed to identify more areas of salt marsh as well as sand flats, also on the north side. Mysteriously these are all missing from the inaccurate aerial map you published. They failed to acquaint themselves with the latest research on mangroves, salt marsh and banded rail with the result that their application was characterised by omissions, errors and misrepresentations. What saddens me most of all is that the banded rails (one of NZ’s most secretive of birds) has little chance of survival. Since disturbance and destruction of habitat THE NEXT PUBLICATION DATE of the Bream Bay News will be Thursday 20 September 3 CROP, GUN & PASTURE SPRAYING The deadline for all copy is 4pm on Wednesday 12 September. have long since been identified as the principal cause of loss of species. The conditions accompanying the consent will not prevent this. I am disgusted with the actions of the Ruakaka Ratepayers and Residents Association. Not only do they know nothing about mangroves and the valuable part they play in a coastal eco system, but the moment they discovered the presence of banded rails they should have backed off. I wonder how they and all those members of the community who supported them, would feel if they were evicted from their homes and denied access to food? So much for a wildlife refuge offering a safe haven – it’s a sick joke. Margaret Hicks Ruakaka Editor’s note: Sorry Margaret. I should have known better. Have there been any publicly notified resource consent applications made in Ruakaka over the past eight years which you have not opposed at length? Commending Bream Bay College students for stunning contribution to Art ‘n Tartan show We would like to commend the fine contribution of the two Kapahaka performers Kahi Tipene,and Jaydyn Matiu, and the young singer Mereaira Steadman from Bream Bay College who performed in our Art n Tartan show.

Bream Bay News Page 5. 6 September 2012 Grandparents Day at Waipu Primary Six - year - old Samantha Cowpland had three grandparents to show around her classroom on Grandparents Day held at Waipu Primary on Friday 31 August. Pauline Eastward (right) and Jeff Grove travelled up from Pukekohe for the occasion, while Anne Cowpland, (left who lives in Waipu had a much shorter journey to make. Grandparents were treated to a performance in the Waipu Coronation Hall, served lunch back at school and then shown around the classrooms by their grandchildren. More logs then ever shipped from Northport More logs then ever are being shipped through the port at Marsden Point. In the financial year, which ended in June 2012, 1.96 million tonnes of logs left the port, an increase of 25% on the previous year. Accountant Nick Monsen, in charge while CEO Jon Moore is on leave in Europe, said 65% of the log exports are going to China. “A few years ago it was about 50 – 50 between India and China but now China takes by far the biggest volume. He said the slowdown in the Chinese economy, which has been cited as part of the cause of the State Owned Enterprise Solid Energy’s woes, doesn’t seem to be affecting the demand for logs. Mr. Monsen said that when the port opened in 2003 log volumes were high at around 1.2 million tonnes but fell sharply to just 400 thousand tonnes in 2006/2007. However for the past three years volumes have been steadily climbing. Work on an extension of the log storage area at the port, was completed in April and is already filled with logs. Mr. Monsen said part of the reason more space is needed is because the port is dealing with more customers whose logs need to be kept in separate stacks. “To start with we had just four different customers but now we have more than ten.” Overall volume through the port in the 2011/2012 year was 2.7 million tonnes. Wood chip from the Marusumi plant in Portland, which goes to paper mills in Japan is the second biggest cargo the port handles, while processed timber such as LVL from the Marsden Point plant and veneer and triboard from the Carters plant in Kaitaia account for most of the remaining volume. The newest product to come through the port is concrete railway sleepers from the Busck concrete plant in Whangarei, which has a four year contract to supply sleepers for railway line repairs in Tasmania.

A major milestone has been achieved with the granting of the Resource Consent to allow the new rising main to be installed under the stream by the Ruakaka Motor Camp entrance. This type of installation is becoming standard practise in the industry now, as it eliminates a potential source of spills in the future. The pipe line is drilled 4m below the stream bed. There will no longer be fitting & pipework on the side of the bridge that can leak or be struck. The pipe was installed this week. The replacement of the Paradise Shores Rising Main is almost complete. The next major milestone will be the installation of a new Pump Station in front of the CampPipe going in and under the stream ground. Over 50 domestic tanks have now been installed on private properties. The street reticulation will shortly be tested before we can start commissioning the new pump systems in October. We are still on track to complete Area 6 before December 2012. PROGRESS IN AREA 1. The location of existing services in Area 1 (Ruakaka Bridge to Seaview Rd) has been completed. The installation of the street reticulation is now 50% complete. Site visits in this area are continuing over the next few months, our Stakeholder Manager will be contacting you shortly to make appointments. PROGRESS IN AREAS 2 & 3 We will shortly be locating the services in this section (Seaview Rd to Princes Rd) to determine the pipe line routes. If you see any area where we can improve the safety for both our teams and the general public, please contact Jody at the Site Office on 0800 Rua-Sewer or 0800 782-73937.

Principal Wayne Buckland said the Ruakaka Fire Brigade was called and firefighters stood at the ready with fire hoses as the smouldering sawdust was blown out of the system. He said the evacuation went according to plan with everyone gathering on the field while teachers called rolls and carried out checks on all the school buildings to make sure no-one was left inside. Luckily the weather was fine but Mr. Buckland said, depending on where the fire was and what the dangers were, the school auditorium and gym can also be used as evacuation collection points.

Neil Todd, the President of Bream Bay’s 60s Up group, is now the National President of the 60s Up movement of New Zealand. He was elected to this post at a five - day conference and Annual General Meeting held in Hastings in June. Maureen Moody, who is a past secretary and currently trips co-ordinator for the Bream Bay group, is serving her second year as National Secretary, so Bream Bay is well represented on the executive of this organization which has thirty four branches – one in Invercargill and the remainder scattered throughout the North Island of New Zealand. Maureen and Neil attend monthly meetings in Pukekohe. They get involved in sharing information and good ideas throughout the branches, reviewing the organizations book of rules and supporting the establishment of new branches. Maureen said the movement is concerned with the well-being of the older person. “It’s all about enjoying yourself in your old age. We avoid politics and religion. It’s about people getting together and having fun.” The Bream Bay group holds monthly meetings, usually with an invited speaker as well as weekly games of indoor bowls and petanque at the Ruakaka Recreation Centre. It also organises trips – around eight of these a year, which are subsidised by lotteries grants to keep the price down for members. The next trip will be to see the Wairere Boulders Nature Park near Horeke in the Far North. Last week this trip was booked out with four new people joining up so they could go on it. Membership of 60’s Plus costs $10 per year. Those interested in joining can contact Maureen 432 8362 or Neil 433 0454.

for new members. The group would like to retain sufficient numbers so that members are only required to patrol one night in six weeks. Patrol teams are a minimum of two persons and able to travel by car, bike or on foot depending on their preference. The purpose of the patrol group is to provide eyes and ears for the Community and Bream Bay Police. Constable Dan Hales said, “This is a high performing patrol group and would suit Community minded people who want to do their bit to keep their community safe.” All members must past Police vetting before they can begin patrols. Application forms are available at the Ruakaka Police Station. For further details contact Constable Dan Hales 094328703. Gear stolen from boats in OTP Between the 25th and 26th of August a petrol tank was stolen from a boat in the Kowi Lakes area of One Tree Point. There have been three other similar thefts from boats in the area in recent weeks. Police are warning residents to be careful when leaving fishing equipment in boats and recommend storing everything in their homes as opposed to their boats, which aren’t as secure. It appears boats are being targeted in the OTP area. Hot water cylinders taken from vacant houses Hot water cylinders were stolen from two vacant houses in Moki Place Ruakaka, last month. One of the thefts resulted in the house being flooded.

To register or for more information Ph: 432 7311 Affiliated to NZ Chartered Clubs (Inc) Are you interested in becoming a member member? ish Don Abercrombie is back in Waipu after a year’s posting in Afghanistan with the ICRC – The International Committee of the Red Cross. He says Waipu, where he grew up, is a good place to come back to. Here he has family and friends and can regain “a sense of normality.” In the first six weeks after he arrived in Afghanistan there were four incidents which threatened the safety of ICRC staff, including a suicide bomb attack at a supermarket near the Red Cross base in Kabul, two incidents where ICRC vehicles ran over explosive devices - one failed to detonate and another detonated three metres in front of an ICRC vehicle - and a robbery and attack on an ICRC staff member in his flat. As a result, the movements of all the organisation’s staff were severely restricted. Don’s job was logistics co-ordinator, overseeing a number of warehouses, medical supplies, the fleet of vehicles and air operations: the movements of two Beechcraft aeroplanes, similar to the ones that fly between Whangarei and Auckland. The International Committee of the Red Cross works exclusively in war zones. It was established in 1863. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movements are off shoots of the ICRC. Neutrality and independence are central to the ICRC mode of operation. Its mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of war and internal violence and to provide them with assistance.

The ICRC had just 20 trucks for this work in 2004 but 50 more were needed. It took eight flights by the giant aircraft to transport them in. and strengthening humanitarian law and humanitarian principles. In Afghanistan the ICRC attempts to ensure all participants in the war uphold the principles of the Geneva Convention. It’s representatives visit detainees held in prisons, they uplift the bodies of people killed on both sides of the conflict and restore them to their families, distribute household kits containing toiletries, blankets and cooking utensils (108,807 in 2010), supply food (to 232,369 people in 2010) run hospitals, including orthopaedic hospitals helping people who have lost limbs as a result of the long years of war. There has been major conflict here since 1978 (with the exception of the years 1996 -2001 while the country was under the rule of the Taliban with its brutal Sharia law). Twenty - nine million people live in Afghanistan, which has an area 2.5 times the size of New Zealand. It is an extremely poor country - the gross domestic product per person is just $685 per year. By comparison in New Zealand the GDP per person is $36,000. Don began working for the Red Cross in 1999. He had previously worked in logistics for private industry and became interested in aid work while taking his OE. He said, “While travelling in Africa I saw people affected by the Rwanda conflict. They were living in tents.” His first posting was with the New Zealand Red Cross helping to organise a network of shipping containers with emergency supplies in Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Vanuatu. In 2001 – 2002 he worked in the Sudan and again for four months in Eritrea setting up operations for the ICRC to help people affected by the civil war in Darfur In between, in 2002 -2003, he was in Russia with the ICRC assisting the victims of the Chechen conflict Early in 2005 he arrived in Aceh in Indonesia just seven days after the tsunami, which killed 168,000 people in that region. He helped co-ordinate the distribution of food rations, clean water, essential household items, hygiene kits and tents to the survivors and also to build toilets and washrooms and to clean out wells. As Aceh was also the seat of conflict between independence fighters and the Indonesian government, the ICRC already had a base there and got involved in the post tsunami relief work. In 2007 Don returned to Indonesia with the British Red Cross and co-ordinated an effort which built 2,300 new houses for people who had lost their homes in the tsunami. People were also given grants to help them establish businesses and communities were given training in disaster preparedness to help mimimise the effects of any future disasters. Since his return to Waipu in January, Don has been enjoying a quiet life working on dairy farms, which he says he is enjoying. He is unsure at present if he will take up another posting with the Red Cross.

Back to Beards By Susan Williams You may wonder at the increase in facial hairiness of local men over the next few months. No, this is not an early Movember; rather, it is an enthusiasm by pageant participants to present an authentic image for this summer’s Waipu Grand Pageant. The latest ‘fashion statement’ is the full-blown beard, the longer and bushier the better – and some locals are starting their whiskers now to ensure they look their best for the pageant’s January 2013 performances. Leading the way are Waipu farmer Dave Brown and vet Graham Goodall (pictured right and left), whose chins have not felt the razor for several weeks. They challenge other locals to get into pageant mode – to stop shaving and let their inner stubble grow. They joke about the itchiness and tendency for people not to recognise them behind their facial fuzz but both men want to grow their beards as long as possible – if only to see what that length is! Men with beards – and their families – will be invited to a BBQ later this year to celebrate their hirsute status. . Call for Waipu Pageant Cast Preparations for Waipu’s Grand Pageant are heating up, with auditions and rehearsals starting within the next few months. First up are auditions for principal roles and for the Gaelic singers. These will be followed by rehearsals (but no auditions) for children and adults who want to be part of the crowd scenes. ‘There are several ways people can participate, and we welcome anyone from within and outside the area,’ Lachie says. ‘Our aim is to involve as many people as possible in this spectacular outdoor production.’ Auditions for principal roles were due to be held at 7.30pm, Tuesday 4 September in the Waipu Museum. The pageant also needs a local college student whose role is to interview Dame Fiona Kidman in the production. Waulking singers Lachie is also calling for women to be waulking singers in the pageant. This group sing the traditional ‘working’ songs in Gaelic, and can take part in many of the crowd scenes as well. Auditions will be held in the museum on Monday, 1 October, at 7.30pm. Crowd scenes Rehearsals for the crowd scenes begin on Wednes- Cheer up the grumpy old bird by having a tidy up. We can collect and pay current market prices for scrap metal. Give us a call. Open Monday to Friday: 8am - 4.30pm Saturday: 8am until 12 oclock Abernethys Scrap Metal, 10 Kepa Rd, Ruakaka Ph. 433 0390 Mob 027 493 6621 By Susan Williams day 3 October, 7.30pm, in the Coronation Hall, Waipu Centre, and will be run weekly. Just turn up - no auditions will be held. These people will play the ordinary folk of the community from the time they left Scotland to their lives in Waipu up to 1987. Lachie says they will work mainly as a group but there are opportunities for small speaking, dancing, miming and singing parts. He is looking for people of all ages from early teens onwards. Children Children are also wanted for the pageant for some crowd scenes. There will be limited rehearsing – and the group may be involved in some small scenes on their own. However, all children in the production must be accompanied by an adult who is part of the production in some way and who will be responsible for their supervision. Family groups are especially welcomed. Rehearsals for children start in November. If you can’t find anything for you in the above categories, or have little spare time for rehearsals, consider putting your name down as an ‘extra’.
