Strong support for Ruakaka Cemetery “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 GRHVQ·WUHDOO\KDYHDQ\WKLQJDJDLQVWEDJSLSHV %HQVDLGKHÀUVWKHDUGWKHEDJSLSHVZKHQKHZDV\HDUVROGDQGOLYLQJLQDWRZQ 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. %UXFHZRQ·WVD\ZKDWWKHVHFRQGLWLRQVDUHDVKHVD\VWKH\DUHQRWVRPHWKLQJWKDW would affect the public.

In my opinion they are Susan McRae kept in a better condition than the public toilets at the Waipu Whangarei town basin. The murals painted on the outside are bright and colourful.

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 ZHOODZDUHWKDWWKHIXWXUHRIKLVDQGDOOKLVPDWHV·ZKR work at the mill jobs depended on the boiler running cleanly.

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 WRWKHHDVWHUQVLGHRIWKH5XDNDND5HFUHDWLRQ&HQWUHDORQJVLGHWKHVRFFHUÀHOGV 0LNH6ZRUGVWKHFOXE·V3UHVLGHQW6HFUHWDU\VDLG´:HEHOLHYHWKDWLWZLOOWUDQVIRUP the Recreation Centre into a really good venue.

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. ,QWKRVHGD\VQRWPDQ\RIWKHVFKRRO·VVWXGHQWVFDPHIURP2QH7UHH3RLQW 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 from North Head. ´:HVWDUWHGWKDWXS7KHVFKRROVVHUYLQJWKDWDUHDZHUH:KDQJDUHL*LUO·VDQG%R\·V High Schools and some parents wanted the option of sending their children to a coed school.” 7KLVVHUYLFHFHDVHGDURXQGÀYH\HDUVDJRIRUDYDULHW\RIUHDVRQVLQFOXGLQJDUHTXHVW by the Whangarei District Council that the ferry operator apply for a permit to use the McLeods Bay jetty.

It appeared in a number of national publications. Sky TV wanted to animate it and at that point it became too much and we gave it away.” He took the Bream Bay College First 15 on a tour of Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore for a seven-aside tournament. A highlight was when Bream Bay College won the Murray Jones Shield contested by Mahurangi, Rodney and Otamatea secondary schools. 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 EXLOGXSDQHQWKXVLDVPIRUOHDUQLQJDQGIRUÀQGLQJRXWDERXWWKLQJV7KHUHDUHVWLOO teachers like that but there are so many other things they are expected to do these GD\V6FKRROVDUHH[SHFWHGWRWU\WRVROYHDOOVRFLHW\·VSUREOHPV:HXVHGWRVD\¶\RX FDQVSHQGRI\RXUWLPHRQRIWKHVWXGHQWV·7KLVLVDOOVRGHVWUXFWLYHDQG GUDLQLQJRQHQHUJ\2IWHQWHDFKHUVGRQ·WJHWDURXQGWRJLYLQJUHDOO\JRRGHGXFDWLRQ to the students who deserve it.” Jules is pleased with his medal.

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. each Tuesday evening from 6pm to 7ish. ´,W·VDOODELWWRQJXHLQFKHHNµVD\V.DWK They pick a theme each week.
