local young skate board enthusiasts.
“We keep getting growled out for skateboarding on the
footpaths even though we are careful around people,”
said Harlin.
The boys said they would be happy to share a skateboard

Erica Poa, whose son Wade is a keen skateboarder, said
the boys are constantly being growled at and chased off

“Not all kids are into team sports,” she says. Harlin is

“I don’t want to be buried at the Waipu Cemetery. They
keep playing the bagpipes down there and I wouldn’t get any
peace”, Ben Wortelboer, chief campaigner for a cemetery in
Ruakaka told the March meeting of the Ruakaka Residents
and Ratepayers Association.
When asked about this statement by the Bream Bay News, he was quick to say he

called Apeldoorn in the Netherlands.
“At the end of the war, the liberation army came to that town and there must have
been about 50 pipers all dressed up with kilts and these huge big hats and they
played in the town square. It was absolutely beautiful. They were so colourful after
the war years. It brought tears to my eyes. I have never forgotten it.”
But seventy - seven year old Ben has lived in Ruakaka for 41 years and says he
would like to be buried there.
He collected 180 submissions to the Ruakaka Structure Plan review asking for
the cemetery and has handed these over to the Whangarei District Council with a
covering letter which stated:
“We feel that the cemetery should go back on the plan and be opened for use as
soon as possible, ready for myself and others in due course. I dare say there will be
a place for a crematorium as well.”
Meanwhile Bruce Cann, on whose land the Ruakaka cemetery was earmarked in the
original draft of the Ruakaka Structure Plan 2008, has told the Whangarei District
Council his family will donate the land if the council meets certain conditions.

Who is telling the truth?
The Bream Bay News issue of 12 February published a
letter from Councillor deeming in which she wrote: “To
date council has prioritised funding for other projects
in the Ruakaka area.”

The acting Council Secretary of the Whangarei District

have requested does not exist. Project priorities and
timing are determined within functional areas (e.g:
Parks, Wastewater etc.) in relation to the needs of the
district as a whole, available funding and input from
the community via LTCCP an Annual Plan processes.
These schedules are then adjusted within any given
period based on additional factors, such as weather
events, deterioration in asset performance and change
in demand.
This process results in a schedule of activity, rather
than a formal ‘prioritisation” of projects within a given
area.”

It is with great interest to see that N.Z. Transport

Surely the N.Z. Transport Agency is aware of these

from the local Fire Brigade, Salvage Company, and

Surely it is apparent to the employees concerned with
road safety that a few simple procedures such as the
above may prevent a few more deaths.
I am a very concerned resident of Waipu as I travel
these intersections frequently and have witnessed so
many near misses that it is frightening.
Please give this your urgent attention.

Through the Bream Bay News letters column I would
like to congratulate the Waipu Cove Reserve Board for
its building and upkeep of the public changing rooms,

I took part in several sports events based at Waipu

and fresh and pleasant to use. In my opinion they are Susan McRae

think Waipu could make a feature of these toilets.

“Our father was in the navy and he drank a lot. He gave her a hard time ”, said
daughter Ann Howard. “They divorced and he died at the age of just 52.”
“Fiesty is a good word to describe our mother. When we were children we had to

Eddie says this is one of only two machines of its size in the world. He invites me to

Neighbours invited to inspect Northpine’s new plant
Northpine director Keith Reay (left) explains the new boiler’s operation to some of the mill’s neighbours.
The directors of the Waipu timber mill Northpine invited
WKHLUQHLJKERXUVLQIRUDWRXURIWKHPLOO·VQHZERLOHU
and kiln drying plant last Wednesday and heard about
how the noise and smoke from the plant was affecting
the lives of those people living nearby.
Ron Moon, a resident of South Rd. asked “Is the black
smoke ever going to stop?”
He said the commissioning period for the new boiler had
gone on for three months now and he wondered if the
operators were ever going to get it working properly.
Northpine director Bruce Larson said the tuning of the
boiler was taking longer than he had expected, however,
an engineer who had helped with its installation had said
it could take up to six months to get a boiler operating
properly.
Steve Goldpine, who represents the Waipu Residents
and Ratepayers on the Northpine Community Liaison
Committee, said if people saw smoke coming out of
the boiler chimney they should ring up and report the
incident noting the time it occurred. This could then be
compared with readings taken from instruments on the
boiler stack, which would help to work out what the
problem was.
Northpine director Keith Reay said it was sometimes
hard to distinguish smoke from steam.
“ I was driving up the other day and thought the stack
was smoking but when I got here I saw it was steam.”
Nathan Jacoby, the kiln manager, assured the residents
that the mill directors were doing everything they could
to get the boiler burning cleanly.
He said, “Bruce (Larsen) is telling me all the time, we
have to get this working properly.” Nathan said he was

work at the mill jobs depended on the boiler running
cleanly.
Jim Houlbrooke (a resident of South Rd.) said the mill

of complaints they received.
“I have rung up two or three times but I could have
rung up 300 times. I have better things to do than
complaining all the time. I have been given assurances
things are going to get better but this has been going
on for two or three years, not just since the new plant
started up.

Plans for a deck and terrace seating at the Ruakaka Recreation Centre
This Saturday, 28 March, Bream Bay United soccer club will be hosting The
inaugural Kiwi Sheds Bream Bay Cup with under 12 year old teams from Kerikeri,
Marist, Dargaville and ROSA (Rodney and surrounding areas) invited to take part.
Michele Ahern, whose husband Andrew is English “and mad about soccer”, sees
soccer tournaments as a way of “putting Bream Bay on the map.”
“Last winter half the junior soccer games and tournaments in Whangarei were called
off because of the state of the grounds after heavy rain. Our grounds are on sand and
stay in relatively good condition through the winter”, she said.
Michele, a former conference organiser, last week was busy arranging catering, a
sausage sizzle, a coffee van etc. to be at the grounds. She was anxious to put on a
good welcome so the visiting teams will be keen to come back.
She said if soccer tournaments at Ruakaka become a regular occurrence then there
will be a big spin off for local businesses.
Meanwhile the club has had plans drawn up for a deck and terrace seats to be added

to host tournaments with teams coming upfrom Auckland and down from the north.
It will also make the place a possible venue for weddings”.

The Poor Knights also boast the largest sea cave

Playcentre garage sale postphoned
The Waipu Playcentre has put off its garage sale until the spring.
The playcentre was planning a garage sale and 50th birthday celebration for Saturday
4 April but has decided to put this off until 26 September.
Playcentre parent Angela Stolwerk said that Scotty (Andrew Scotland) and his wife
Pauline were very involved parents at playcentre and the group was still reeling
from the shock of his accidental death.
“Also, as we discovered this was our 50th anniversary we decided to do something
a bit bigger and if we leave it until September we will have more time to get
organised,” Angela said.

Jules remembers he and then Bream Bay College Board of Trustee Chairman, Craig
Brown would be down at the school three or four nights a week for months on
end working on charters and policy documents which the Ministry of Education
required schools to put in place.
He said a challenging aspect of Bream Bay College is that it serves a very diverse
community. Waipu has a very strong distinct culture and there is still a residue of
resentment in Waipu about the Waipu area school closing down and its successor
Bream Bay College being located in Ruakaka.
“When all the planned development (around One Tree Point and Ruakaka) gets built
then perhaps Bream Bay College will be in the right place.”
Takahiwai also has its own identity, history and culture. The Ruakaka Village is
a predominantly Maori culture but not the same as Takahiwai, Ruakaka Beach
is different again and then the farming community from around the Mata area is
another distinct community.

The rivalry with Otamatea College existed back then with a busload of students
travelling from Bream Bay to Maungaturoto, but a ferry would bring students across

Jules has a keen interest in sport, particularly rugby and cricket, and has chaired
the Whangarei Northland Secondary Schools Rugby Union and the Whangarei

“It was very successful. It appeared in a number of national publications. Sky TV

He worries about the direction in which secondary schools are moving.
“When I was a student there were some teachers who could really enthral you and

The Radio Waves team
There was a party going on around the little green
caravan up the long driveway just before the bridge as
you head into Waipu along the Braigh.
I was following the instructions given to me by Steve
King, otherwise known as Sheik Yerbouti of the Friday
night Magic Caravan Show on the Waipu Radio station
Radio Waves 99.1FM.
The whole radio waves team were getting together for
a BBQ and this was a chance to get a pic of them all for
the Bream Bay News.
It was not, as it turned out, an opportunity to blow the
cover of the Radio Waves persona Joe King – who
remained heavily in disguise throughout.
Radio Waves licence is held by Ash Worthy who
completed a diploma at the New Zealand Radio Training
School in Auckland last year.
“We are all sounding a lot more professional, now”,
said Radio Dave who runs a show called Corona 4000
each Wednesday evening from 4pm – 6pm. Ash comes
on sometimes as his “special guest.”
A new edition to the programme is a show called The
Shed Shack Sheilas. Fleur, Fiona, Kath, Kay, and Shirley
(no surnames in use here) sit around the microphones
and chat about: fashion, gardening, music, health etc.

Professor Worzel alias comes down from his remote

4pm – 6pm. He plays music and conducts interviews.
“Anyone I can drag in”, he says. He drags me in.
“How long have you been Editor of the Bream Bay
News?”
Back in the interviewer role I ask Ash,” How far does
the Waipu 99.1FM signal extend?”
Ash – “It depends a bit on how good your radio is.
Some people can get it in Ruakaka but generally it
goes from the weighbridge (at Uretiti) to the top of the
Brynderwyns.”
Is there space for people who want to run a radio show
