Police make
enquiries over
cream spillages
on highway
Cream was spilt on the north bound lane of State
Highway One on the northern side of the Brynderwyn
Hill three times last month. The spills occurred on
the 10th, 19th and 28 September. The Waipu and
Maungaturoto Fire Brigades both attended all these
incidents. At least two accidents occurred as a direct
result of these spills one at 6am in the morning after the
10 September spill, when the driver of a car, lost control
and slid off the road. He suffered cuts to his head and
was taken to hospital. He has since been discharged.
On 28 September a driver lost control and went off the
road into a ditch but escaped without injury.
Waipu Fire Chief Trevor Vaile said, particularly after
rain, the cream makes the road surface very slippery.
”It is very treacherous for us firemen to walk on, so it
is extremely dangerous for drivers coming down the
hill.”
Each time the cream was spilt in a line in the middle
of the lane, starting about 400 metres from the summit
and continuing for some distance down the road. It is
then spread around by car tyres.
Trevor said 25 years ago milk spillages were frequent
but since then the valve systems on tankers have
improved and they are now rare.
“There is not a lot we can do when we get there. We

The old kauri building was in a dilapidated state with some suggestion the best option was to burn it

How many shopping centres do we need?
I received a phone call last week from a man who
is considering opening a shop in Ruakaka. He was
thinking about the Ruakaka Town Centre but was a
bit nervous about some proposed new shopping centre
developments in the area. When you look at all the
consented retail developments in that part of the world
it is rather confusing.
Already in addition to the Ruakaka Township shops
there are the line of shops at the Big Tomato on Port
Marsden Highway and the shops at the Marsden Cove
Marina.
There are at least three other consented retail
developments – the Wolf 2008 truck stop and small
scale retail development proposal near the One Tree
Point/ State Highway One Roundabout, a company
named WHF (formerly Dannemora Fulton Hogan)
has consent for a retail centre on 10 hectares of land
(which seems like a pretty big shopping centre) on the
western boundary of the Marsden Cove Marina and
Oliver Scott has the plan change he sought to build a
shopping centre on his North Holdings Industrial Park
land between One Tree Point Rd. and Port Marsden
Highway. Rumour has it that construction is about to
start on the first shops there. We will believe it when
we see it.
With empty shop space in at least two of the three
existing retail areas all these proposals seem illogical
to me. Surely it would be better for shoppers and
retailers alike if we could direct retail businesses to
one location. Is there someone with an understanding
of town planning out there who could comment on this
situation?
To change the subject completely, I thoroughly
enjoyed the One Tree Point Primary Round the World
Flight 2 -2 0-12 school production. The costumes were
colourful, the dancing and singing was enthusiastic and
the lighting effects were magical. What a wonderful
experience this must have been for all the children who
took part! This show brought home the point to me
that our primary schools do a great deal more for our
children then simply teaching them to read, write and
do maths.

down. It was purchased last year from the Presbyterian
Church by the Whangarei District Council along with
seven hectares of land known as the Glebe.
Earlier this year the Waipu Museum won a $37,000
grant from the Lotteries Grants Environment and
Heritage Board, which along with $20,000 raised at a
2004 Waipu Music Hall provides the funding for this
project.
The volunteers are making this money go a long way.
They work from 10am to midday, with another team
turning up for an afternoon shift from 1pm to 3pm.
All the activity is overseen by builder Ian Hanna, who
spends the rest of the week preparing for the volunteer
teams.
Re-roofing of the building is complete and the doors
and windows have been restored, the verandah is being
rebuilt and the entire exterior will be repainted. A full
set of second hand kitchen cabinetry picked up for
$150 is sitting in the kitchen awaiting installation. The
aim is to have the old building looking smart and the
surrounding grounds tidied up by January when the
Waipu Pageant will be staged in the Glebe.

RABBIT POO
FOR SALE
Coronation Hall upgrade begins
Work began on Saturday 28 September on an upgrade
of Waipu’s Coronation Hall with local builder Marcus
Jones winning the contract.
The Waipu Joint Venture group secured a grant of
$92,500 from Pub Charities for this work in June this
year which along with money raised at a celebrity
dinner and funds already held by the hall committee
provides a budget of $143,000 for this first stage of a
planned $410,000 upgrade of the hall.
The toilets and kitchen in the old hall will be gutted.
The wall of the current men’s toilet, backing on to the
supper room, will be knocked down and extended 1
metre. Five new toilets will be installed and this will
become the ladies. The present ladies’ will change into
the men’s and will include a unisex disability toilet, 1
toilet and 3 urinals.
The kitchen will be completely relined and new
cabinetry installed with stainless steel worktops and
mobile stainless benches. A new commercial stove
top with oven underneath, and a free - standing oven
beside will increase the kitchen’s catering capacity.
The bar is being rebuilt and a glasswasher installed.
“We are endeavouring to have the work on the kitchen
and toilets finished by Labour Weekend” said Juanita
McGoldrick of the Joint Venture Group.
The deadline for the completion of the bar is the end of
November when a wedding is booked.
The hall will continue to be used during renovations
with the Caledonian toilets at the rear of the building
available for use.
“We hope to have an opening gala event in November
before the wedding, so the community can come along
and celebrate this fantastic upgrade”, said Juanita.
The Coronation Hall upgrade is only part of the Joing
Venture Group’s plans which also include building a
new Celtic Barn capable of seating 700 people,
Juanita said the group aimed to keep as much as possible
of the work involved in its $1.4 million project in local
hands.

Faulty joint casues sewage spill
into Waipu River
Last week’s sewage spill near McLeans Bridge (the bridge alongside the Waipu
Boat Club) was caused by a faulty gibault joint.
Andy Keith the Whangarei District Council’s Wastewater and Stormwater
operations manager said two galvanised steel bolts on the connection had rusted
away. Wastewater leaked out and pooled in a paddock adjoining a stream tributary
to the Waipu River.
The pooling and a bad smell were reported to the Whangarei District Council by
the landowner.
Mr. Keith said it looked as though the leak had been occurring for several days and
he estimated around 40 cubic metres of untreated wastewater would leak from the
pipe over a 24-hour period.
The two faulty bolts have now been replaced with stainless steel bolts.
Several years ago the joints at 500 metres along the pipeline were replaced with
stainless steel bolts. A failure on the same joint, which caused last week’s spillage
had prompted the upgrade. Two rusted bolts on this joint had been replaced with
stainless steel bolts but two older and, at that time, still sound bolts in galvanised
steel had been left in place.
A pipeline, which was previously attached to the bridge has been replaced with
an underground polyethelyne pipe. The bridge moves every time a heavy vehicle
passes over it and in this caused the pipeline to break and spill wastewater into the
Waipu River.
Mr. Keith said underground pipelines do carry the risk that a leak can go unnoticed.
However polyethelyne pipe is very robust and survived intact through a major
earthquake in Hawaii.
Signs warning people not to gather and eat shellfish in the Waipu estuary for a
period of 28 days from the date of the spill have been erected at the Waipu Boat
Club, Hamon Rd. and at Johnson Point Rd. People were also warned not to swim or
catch and eat wet fish from the river or estuary for a five - day period, which expired
on 2 October.
Shellfish, which are filter feeders, collect and concentrate impurities from the water.
The bird breeding season is just beginning in the wildlife refuge at Johnson Point
and godwits have just returned to the harbour from their winter breeding grounds in
Siberia and Alaska. However Department of Conservation scientist Tony Beauchamp
said he had no concerns for the safety of the birds feeding in the estuary as the tide
would rapidly flush this amount of sewage spillage away. He said his major worry
would be the effect on wildlife of any industrial toxins that might be present in the
wastewater. Mr. Keith said to his knowledge none of the industries, which operate
in Waipu, dispose of industrial waste into the Council’s wastewater system.

carry some absorbent material, which we spread on
the road but its not enough. We just slow the traffic
down until an NZTA (New Zealand Transport
Agency) contractor turns up.”
After the last cream spillage the NZTA contractor
spread a truckload of sand on the road.
The Northland Regional Council has issued an
abatement notice to L.W. Bonney and Sons, an
Auckland based freight company contracted to
Fonterra. This company’s trucks were found to have
been the cause of each of the three Brynderwyn
cream spillages and a fourth spillage in Kamo on
the 14th September. NRC officer James Mitchell
said cream causes problems in the environment,
particularly if it gets into waterways.
“Obviously the biggest concern here is public
safety and then there is a concern about how
much it is costing the tax payer to clean up all this
cream. In this case the environmental concern is
way down the list, however we felt that as this
company doesn’t appear to have done anything to
fix the problem after it was informed of the first
spill, we should take action.”
The notice requires the company to either carry
out repairs to its tankers or to operate its tankers in
such a way that further spillage doesn’t occur.
Inspector Murray Hodson of the Whangarei Police
said Police are also making enquiries into this
matter.

themselves as “a bunch of old broken down track builders”, gained funding from
the New Zealand Walking Access Commission and the agreement of private land
owners Marunui Conservation Trust and dairy farmer Mark Gash, to form the track
which will be formally opened of the track at the car park just off King Rd. this
Labour Weekend. King Road is off Cove Rd. on the right hand side coming from
Langs Beach and just passed the Mangawhai Heads turnoff.
The track is accessed from 3 km up King Road via a legal unformed public road
on the right just beyond the second bridge. A parking area has been constructed
100 metres up this access and no vehicles are permitted past this point. The track,
marked by blue and silver markers, follows the road to a stile, which leads onto
Marunui land and a swing bridge funded by the Walking Access Commission. From
the bridge the track crosses a second stream by stepping stones and briefly proceeds
upstream before climbing towards the ridge and into Department of Conservation
reserve. Steeper sections have been stepped and slopes benched but once on the
ridge the grade lessens with just a few steeper climbs.
The community is invited to the official opening by Chris Jenkins (DOC Conservator,
Northland) at the car park at 1.30pm on Saturday 20 October. You will then be
invited to join a group for a walk to the top, or just stroll in your own time to the
bridge and any point beyond.

For the past five years the college has awarded $100 to each junior student who
achieves 100 or more credits at excellence, and for the last two years to senior
students achieving 50 or more excellence credits.
In the first year, 2006, just 19 students made the grade. Cash awards began the
following year, 2007, courtesy of sponsorship from Waipu’s Doug and Marvyn
Smith through their charitable trust and $2700 was handed out in $100 notes to 27
students.
But as Bream Bay’s principal Wayne Buckland says, “Success breeds success” and
numbers have skyrocketed since, with an estimated 72 students from the 450 pupil
school in line for the cash prize this year.
If you took that figure and multiplied it in your head by $100, you will have worked
out that the college needs to find $7200 this year to reward its top students.
Doug and Marvyn have had to cap their contribution at $4000 per year; so Mr
Buckland is hoping others in the community wanting to foster academic success
will join the Smiths as co-sponsors, encouraging students to strive for excellence.
“The 100+ award is very well supported by the students,” says Mr Buckland. “Noone knocks it; it’s a great way to celebrate the kids achieving.”
The increase in numbers achieving highly, Mr Buckland says, is due to the college
continually improving everything it does, including academic coaching. And while
rewarding excellence is growing more expensive, he wants to keep the requirement at
100 excellence credits, rather than shift the goalposts to reduce or limit numbers.
Mr Buckland says local primary school principals tell him their top students aim to
get the $100 when they are at college, and the Smiths are regularly approached by
primary school children who say they are looking forward to achieving it.
Students receive credits for producing work at a high enough standard to pass and
are awarded credits (if you don’t pass, you are given a “not achieved” and don’t
get any credits for that particular assignment). Credits are awarded at three levels,
depending on the quality of work: achieved, merit and excellence. Junior students
need to obtain 120 or more credits to receive their junior diploma – which echoes
New Zealand’s NCEA curriculum for senior students. But the school discovered
some students were performing well above the requirements for obtaining a junior
diploma and discussed ways to reward and encourage those top performers – which
led to the 100+ club.
“We decided 100 credits at excellence would be the level for this award and so it
became called the 100+ club,” says Mr Buckland.
When Doug and Marvyn Smith approached the college wishing to contribute
financially and encourage youth achievement, it seemed a perfect match with the
programme.
“Originally we were looking at sending students to Outward Bound or on the Spirit
of Adventure, but Wayne suggested we support the 100+ club,” says Doug. “It made
sense to us.”
The Smiths are delighted with the programme’s success, and will continue financially
supporting it. “It spurs the kids on, and helps them realise their potential. It’s great
to see all the good kids out there .”
“The 100+ club has had some unexpected spin - offs,” says Mr Buckland. “We’ve
found that right from Year 7 we have a good indication what their levels of
achievement will be at NCEA.” Also, the highest performers aim to reach ever
higher levels of excellence – for instance, the highest achievement to date in Year
10 is 198 excellence credits (out of a possible 206) and this year a Year 10 student
aims to top that.
Senior students were included in the 100+ club from 2010 – their credits are fewer
and harder to obtain, so they must achieve 50 credits at excellence to receive the
$100. Sixteen senior students received the $100 last year and 15 are predicted to
get it this year.

the One Tree Point School 2012 production held in the
school’s hall on Wednesday and Thursday nights 26 and
27 September with a dress rehearsal on Tuesday morning
25 September.
The school came up with the ingenious idea of giving each
classroom a different country to feature and the show took
the form of an around the world trip starting with Australia, then to: China, England, Scotland, France, Africa,
the Bahamas, America, Antarctica and finally back to New
Zealand where the theme song was the Fred Dagg classic
- “We don’t know how lucky we are.”
The show featured lots of enthusiastic dancing, singing,
colourful costumes and dramatic lighting effects.
Room 1 took us to Africa and a celebration of the circle of life.

A new adventure for Wally and Shirley Browning
Wally Browning, with his bushy eyebrows looks every
bit the old sea captain. It’s as if after years in different
occupations he has finally found his calling.
He started his working life in the car painting business
in Dargaville and then purchased several holiday parks
– first at Oakura and then another in Takapuna.
Of late he and wife Shirley have been living in Orewa
but you get the impression Wally isn’t one to let the
grass grow under his feet.
“We had a bach at Tinopai and Wally had a smaller
boat there” explains Shirley.
This gave him the idea of setting up a fishing charter
business at Marsden Cove.
They had a new home built alongside their marina
berth where they can watch boats coming and going
and Wally commissioned his dream fishing charter
boat, which he named – “Spot On.”
“The boat cost as much as the house” said Shirley
She isn’t so sure about the move. She misses the shops
and friends and family back in Orewa and is a bit
nervous about going out in the boat – “There is just so
much water out there.”
“I could leave him but I don’t want to do that.” She
supposes she will get up her courage and go out
fishing.
A previous adventure they shared was travelling the
country in a 35-foot motor home.
“We had nine weeks in the South Island and we went
all around the North Island as well. It was lovely.”
Spot On was built and designed by Greg Shine of Blade
Runner Boats in Kumeu.
She is licensed to carry up to 16 passengers within the
Wally and Julie Browing on board their new catamaran - Spot On
Whangarei inshore limit and up to eight game fishers
further offshore.
She is a 12 metre long catamaran, built in marine grade
alloy with a roomy cockpit and plenty of deck space
for fishing parties.
In ideal conditions she will cruise at between 26 and
30 knots
To help launch his new business Wally is offering what
he calls “a rep deal”. If you can find ten people to make
up a fishing party on the boat, you get to come along
for free.

Colin Davidson reflects on his forty years teaching at Northland
primary schools
Whangarei Museum.
He spent three weeks relieving at Ruakaka earlier this
year and when he was given the 10 week long relieving
principals job he didn’t waste any time accepting.
Ruakaka School has the “smile-eist kids I have ever
seen”, he says.
There is a nice mix of children here. They are very
unpretentious. The staff is very willing. There is a great
feeling in this school. ”
Mr. Davidson grew up in Hikurangi on a town supply
dairy farm.
As a child he dreamed about joining the merchant navy
and seeing the world.
“Here I am 10 miles south of where I started”, he
says.
He spent a good number of his childhood holidays in
Ruakaka as he had two grandparents living side by side
on the Ruakaka ridge.
He says he drifted into the teaching profession with a
little bit of a shove from his father.

though was long distance running. When Peter Snell
was a national hero, the young Colin Davidson was
winning regional long distance running titles.
“We had a lot of fairly able middle distance runners
in those days in Northland and we were competitive
against Waikato and Auckland teams.
He says running gave him self-discipline and tenacity.
He would train 100 miles a week for weeks on end.
He learned how to push himself and although due
to injuries he has given up running, this skill and
knowledge about himself remains with him.
“Everyone is an individual and it’s not to say that
because you can’t play rugby you are no good at
sport.
Have things changed in all those years of teaching?
“I don’t think kids have changed. Everything else has
changed around them. Kids still need loving support
and to be encouraged and nurtured. The societal
changes around them have been phenomenal.
He doesn’t like the word student applied to primary
school children.
“What’s wrong with kids or children. A five year old
doesn’t study and is not a student.”
When I grew up everybody was basically poor. No one
had very much. Now there is a huge gap between the
haves and have nots.”
“In Northland poverty is a big factor. I don’t think
people from other parts of the country completely
realise this. It’s not just lack of money it’s attitudes as
well.
He recalls at one school an arranged meeting with a
father who had eight or nine children who weren’t
attending school very regularly.
“This father said, ‘School never did me any good,’ and
he couldn’t see how it would benefit his kids.”
Mr. Davidson says he doesn’t delve too much at what
the children’s domestic situations are.
“While we are aware of how family situations can
affect children, as teachers we just have to look at what
comes in the gate each day.”
He says he has become more outspoken with age.
“I grew up very compliant and respectful; but now
I question government directives if I don’t see them
benefiting children.”
He doesn’t agree with the National Standards which
primary schools are now expected to test children
against.
“You don’t grow pumpkins by measuring them.”
He says most teachers know when a child needs extra
help in a subject.
He believes National Standards test a very narrow
range of skills and the task of schools is much broader
than this - to help children develop into able adults and
good citizens.
In his view an able adult is someone who, amongst
other things, looks after children, has self - discipline,
participates in society and can communicate.

Fire Call
By Station OfficerJeff D’Ath – Ruakaka Fire Brigade
I am not sure whether the community are to be We have attended just 1 structure fire (house/building/
congratulated or not, but our callouts for 2012 have
dropped dramatically for the first 9 months of 2012.
I am thinking chimneys were well swept this year,
heaters kept well clear of clothes racks and furniture,
and the kids trained to be more fire wise in and around
the house.
The “fire bug” has obviously grown up or left the area
as our call rate to malicious scrubbies are way down.
As at Tuesday 18t September we had turned out to 62
callouts for 2012 which is heading us for the quietist
year since 2006 where we attended 82 calls for the
year.
The trends are interesting with;
2012 heading towards the most car accidents we
have ever attended in a year at over two crashes per
month.
Scrub/rubbish fires and false alarms are running neck
and neck at 24 overall which is down on the last
fiveyears. False alarms can be private or industrial
false alarms caused by defective equipment, or even
disruption of alarm systems which immediately set
off our fire siren. Another cause of false alarms are
private rubbish fires which are controlled, but lit and
still burning after dark, alarming people who were
not aware of the fire’s origins. Those who call about
these fires are not to be blamed for over reaction, as
these reactions are what we and the community need
to ensure rapid attendance and attack to out of control
fires. The message here is, don’t light your rubbish
fires late in the afternoon or in the evening, but early
in the day so they are burned out by dark. Also ring
the NZ Fire Service or Forest Protection Services and
advise of your controlled burns so we are all warned
in advance.
shed) every 6 weeks which is another good sign.
Our medical assist calls however are peaking at a
historical record working as back up for Bream Bay
St John, and yet we turn out at just a fraction of the
number of medicals they attend. I often see amazement
and frustration on the faces of our victims when the
big red truck arrives at a medical emergency instead
of the expected big white ambulance. Just remember,
we have basic first aid equipment and experience on
board and will give all the help we can until the ambos
are able to arrive. We carry oxygen, a defibrillator,
a very healthy first aid kit and a bunch of caring
first aiders eager to make those minutes of worry as
painless as possible and stabilize the situation to the
best of our ability until the “ambos arrive”.
The St John Bream Bay team is giving extra training
to my firefighters (at no cost) to ensure we are giving
the best help available at your emergency.
Ruakaka Fire Brigade is doing way better than
many volunteer brigades in New Zealand with new
members trickling in to replace the older ones who
retire or leave the area.
We still struggle to man two full fire appliances
during working hours and I am keen to hear from
any interested members of the public who live within
5kms of the fire station and thought they might like to
know more about becoming a volunteer fire fighter.
For more information contact me,
Jeff D’Ath on 021 804009 or jdath@
pacificmotorgroup.co.nz
Don’t forget with daylight saving it is time to you
check and replace your smoke alarm batteries if
necessary. If you need help or advice, give me a call
and a fire fighter will assist.
New President for Waipu RSA
At the recent Annual General Meeting of the Waipu
RSA long standing President Geoff Grey of Waipu
stood aside after nine years as the President. Geoff a
Life Member of the RSA and also a Life Member of
the associated Waipu Citizens and Services Club has
stayed as Vice President.
The new President is Waipu local Dave Wistrand, who
has been under-studying the role for the last two years
as Vice President. Dave served in the Royal Navy for
23 years. He is also on the committee of the C&S Club.
Long serving RSA Secretary and Life member John
Finlayson was re-elected unopposed. Local builder
Gary Sandford was honoured with a Life Membership

and has been a consistent volunteer..
Dave Wistrand, says the Waipu RSA will continue much as in the past, concentrating of the annual
ANZAC Day march through Waipu as the major event.
It is also intended to hold a military style “Mess Dinner” during the year. Traditional Mess Dinners are a
formal military event to celebrate some major event
(usually a victory) in a very regimented and traditional
style with full medals and regalia. Notwithstanding the
formality, they are usually quite a social occasion and
all members will be encouraged to attend.
