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.

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.

Days of miracles and wonder
Such heavy rain this morning. Rivers are forming out
in the paddocks. 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.

The 57 year - old concrete sea wall is being undermined by the tide.
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.

WEED CONTROL
I was both shocked and upset by your statement that
no objections had been raised to seedling removal (of
mangroves in the Ruakaka Estuary) as I had strongly
opposed this course of action at length in both my
submissions and had provided photographic evidence
to support by position.
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

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.

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?

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.

Ruakaka South Sewer Extension
PROGRESS IN AREA 6.
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.

can improve the safety for both
our teams and the general public, please contact Jody at the
Site Office on 0800 Rua-Sewer

Fire alarm at Bream
Bay College
Bream Bay College students and staff spent an
hour on the school fields on Wednesday afternoon,
22 August, after some sawdust in the extraction
system in the woodwork department was ignited
by a spark from a sander.
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.

A PAINTER
NEEDING A JOB
O.K. you’ve read my spiel
Thinking “Is this guy for real?’
Do you need to know if I’m fair dinkum?
Will try anything to earn an income
Christmas looms, then there’s summer
Book me too late, could be a bummer
I’m at the ready, brush in hand
Work for pay would prove just grand
As said before, I’m local, I’m true
Give me a chance to work for you
My main aim is to put food on the table
Kindly assist if you are able
Thanks to the lady who replied to the ad
Your hopeful call, left me feeling less bad
Given the choice, I’ll paint Bream Bay bright
Then we will all sleep better at night.

Neil Todd of Marsden Point,
National President of 60’s Up
National Secretary for the second
year Maureen Moody of Ruakaka.
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.

Police Report
More volunteers needed for OTP patrol
The One Tree Point community patrol group is looking 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.

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. It also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting

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-

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’. Lachie will use
extras in two scenes only, with rehearsals about a week
before the January performances. Contact the museum
now to register so your costume can be organised.
The pageant will be performed on the evenings of 11
and 12 January, 2013, on the banks of the Waihoihoi
River.

Encouraging pre-schoolers
to get active
Twenty nine years as a volunteer
in the Waipu Opp Shop
A Jump Rope for Heart
morning was held at the
Small Poppies child care
centre in Ruakaka on
Tuesday 28 August. Children from the Kaiwaka
Small Poppies centre
came to Ruakaka to join
in and spent the morning
jumping over ropes, jumping in sacks, taking part in
egg and spoon races using
wooden eggs etc. Above
four - year old Thomas
Guy of Kaiwaa didn’t let
his gumboots hold him
back and jumped high
over the skipping rope.
Swimming Club life membership
rewards long involvement
Les and Marian Platt of
One Tree Point were made
life members of Bream
Bay Swimming Club at a
special club meeting held
before annual prize giving
last Sunday.
Most of the club’s previous
life members were present
and one, Selma Owbridge,
spoke about both Les and
Marian’s long involvement with the club and
how well-deserved their
award was.
In reply, Marian talked Marian and Les Platt
about Gay Cann’s learn to swim work in the area prior to and after Bream Bay
joined the Northland Swimming Centre in 1979, and then the club’s life members,
along with Marian, assisted in presenting awards to swimmers.
One-hour distance swim Engraving Systems award (12 years and under): Seth Faoagali and Conor Swords; Women’s: Haylee Jensen; Men’s: Alex Birchall.

and Amy (25m butterfly) broke records that were set
in 1994 by Louise Morgan. The 1984 record for 25m

Margaret Batten at her farewell afternoon tea.
A thank you, farewell afternoon tea was held for Margaret Batten at Sea
Change café, Ruakaka beach on Wednesday 29 August by Waipu Opportunity
Shop volunteers.
Margaret is a founder member of the Opp Shop team and has helped with the
shop for 29 and a half years. She was stock manager for more then 20 years.
Past and present Opp Shop volunteers gathered for the occasion.
Margaret is moving to the Jane Mander Retirement Village in Whangarei.
She said the Opp Shop had been a big part of her life. She had made many
good friends there and the work had helped her through some difficult times
such as the months following the death of her husband.
