The great post pageant beard shave off

The great post pageant beard shave off took place at the Waipu Fire Station on Sunday 20 January and raised $1000 for Project Promise, the campaign to build a new cancer treatment unit at Whangarei Hospital. Seven bearded pageant participants turned up for the auction where people bid for the privilege of shaving off their whiskers. Some of the highest bidding came from the wives and partners of the bearded men. Hair-dresser Katrina Jensen, who was present in case nobody would put their hand up for their job, in fact was able to sit out the session in an advisory role.

Catching the horse which has bolted

“Sometimes you have to catch a horse which has bolted”, said Warren Daniel secretary and chief submission writer for the Ruakaka Residents and Ratepayers Association. Warren was talking about the Whangarei District Council’s draft Rural Development Strategy and responding to the question “Isn’t it a bit too late to be trying to control rural subdivision in the Whangarei District – like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted?” Two meetings will be held in Bream Bay over the next few weeks to discuss the draft strategy. The first of these in the Waipu Anglican Church Hall in Nova Scotia Drive on Wednesday 30 January at 7.30pm, may have already happened by the time many of you get this issue of the Bream Bay News in your letter boxes. The second will be held in the Ruakaka Recreation Centre on Tuesday 12 February at 7.30pm. As Warren points out this “affects all rural property owners.” The Council is caught between a rock and hard place on this issue. The law of the land, enforced by the Environment Court says that councils cannot allow willy-nilly subdivision of their district’s rural land and must look to the future and protect assets such as fertile soils, mineral resources (including quarries containing aggregate for building roads) and notable landscapes. Many landowners, on the other hand, insist that they should be able to do what they want with their own property. The Environment Court has ruled that until the

In replyI want to answer the letter on page four, which complains about my publishing statements criticising Bream Bay College, which might have hurt the feeling of the staff at that school. The letter asks why all the negative statements were on the front page while the statements in support continued on page seven. The main point of the article, on the front page of the 17 January issue, is that a significant number of local families are bypassing Bream Bay College to send their children to schools in Whangarei and further afield. These families often make considerable sacrifices to get their children to these schools and I think the Bream Bay College staff and its community, which I count myself as part of, should be interested in hearing their reasons. Some of the reasons perhaps we can discount and I am inclined to agree that the Cambridge examination offers no advantages to NCEA, which was designed with New Zealand students in mind. However fourteen - year - old Fynn (not Flynn as the letter writers called him) Allen Cooke, who spoke about why he preferred Huanui College to Bream Bay College, is an intelligent, highly motivated young man and deserves to be listened to.He said that he felt no one noticed when he did good work at Bream Bay. I have long advocated that boys and their abilities and achievements need to be celebrated more at Bream Bay College. A few years ago Fynn and his friends were fanatical (as I find boys tend to be) about the game Dungeons and Dragons. For them the whole point of going to school was so they could play this game with their friends at intervals and lunch breaks. I was astounded to find in my son’s room pages and pages of written notes, by another of his friends, on a character he had been assigned to play. This child had spent many hours working out complex characterisations for each of the players. It was an

impressive fete of leadership, hard work and intellectual agility but it seemed to go under the radar of the junior school’s teachers who chased the boys out of the library or classrooms when they found them playing this game. I am a supporter of Bream Bay College. Amongst the college’s year 13 graduates are some of the finest young people I have ever met. The school has some very good and dedicated teachers. I was surprised to see teachers Mark and Lynda Bayer selling sandwiches at the Waipu Highland Games, all day in the hot sun on New Years Day to raise money for a trip to Japan by some students this year. I agree with Alice Grant who says that it is good for children to go to a school in their own community.But no school is perfect and there is always room for improvement and I think if as parents we back our school and put some effort into it we can make a difference.Proof of this is the new website which parent Megan Lea helped to set up. It is colourful, packed with photographs – I think most of the school’s students will find themselves pictured there - and easy to find your way around. I hope new parents join the PTA this year. Quite a number of last year’s team have moved their children to other schools. There is a big project on upgrading the school grounds. Strong, active support by its community and parents is, I believe, one of the essential qualities of a great school.

Opening tonight! The Estuary Restaurant

Dale Pullen (left) and David Graham toast the success of their new restaurant

The Estuary Restaurant will open at 5pm this evening at 5 Prince Rd., Ruakaka under the Bream Bay Club. David and Dale took over the lease on this property in November 2012 and have been running a cafe and takeaways there all sum-mer. The restaurant will open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday and by appoint-ment for private functions. It has a BYO licence, which Dale says makes it a good venue for young people who might want to meet for a meal without drinking alcohol. David is the cook and says the menu will change weekly. It will include lots of fresh seafood, steak, home baked pies, a roast of the week, lambs fry and bacon and, on the odd occassiion - tripe and onions. David and Dale also run The Links café at the Waipu Golf Course. They say they have had their eyes on the Bream Bay Club restaurant space for quite some time. “It is such a beautiful place. It’s got to be able to sparkle,” said David.

Fitness trainer Sharon Carroll is organising a fundraising event to help Myra Van Der Bergen with her rehabilitation costs. Myra is the young woman who was seriously injured when a log fell on her while she was working for a stevedoring company grading logs at Northport last NovemberSharon is taking some of her fitness training equipment down to the beach in front of the Waipu Cove Surf Lifesaving Club. She will set up a team challenge using these machines. There will also be a beach dig and sand castle competition for children as well as a barbeque. Sharon said she knows Myra’s family well as her parents are both members of her spin fitness class and several years ago Myra was part of a team she organised for the Kerikeri Half Marathon. “Myra’s friends will all be going off to university soon so this is a way of bringing them all together for a bit of fun, before they leave”, Sharon said. She is hopeful that Myra will also be able to attend the event. Myra is home from hospital at present and has begun to walk with the support of a frame. Her friends from Bream Bay College continue to visit her often. The challenge fundraiser will take place on Sunday 10 February at 4pm.The cost is $20 per person or $50 per family. For details or to book contact Sharon on 0272653227 or email [email protected]

A restricted fire season for the Whangarei and Kaipara districts was an-nounced on Friday 18 January. This restriction applies to all open fires in-cluding fireworks, rubbish fires, bush clearing fires, bonfires (including fires on beaches), and it puts conditions on the use of barbecues, spits, hangi and umu.People using commercially constructed barbeques, incinerators, cooking fires such as umu, hangi and spit fires must make sure that: • The fire is supervised by a responsible adult at all times.• A pressurised supply of water is at hand.• The fire is extinguished as soon as the task is complete.• A clear area of at least 10 metres is maintained around the fire.• The fire is no larger than 2 x 2 metres.• A warranted fire officer can request that any barbecue, incinerator or other fire be extinguished if considered a danger. Dry, windy conditions as we have been experiencing over the past week increase the fire danger which means extra care is needed saysWhangarei’s Principal Rural Fire Officer Kevin Ihaka. Mr. Ihaka said the council would not be issuing permits for fires that can be reasonably delayed until the fire risk reduces.“The risk is simply not worth it,” he said. This message doesn’t seem to have reached some people either visiting or living in Ruakaka as the remains of a bonfire was found on the beach on Monday morning. Mr. Ihaka said anyone responsible for a fire that gets out of control would be held accountable for the cost of that fire; which could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Hot dry winds increase fire risk

CORRECTION In our January 17 issue we ran a photograph showing a rescue training exercise at Waipu Cove. The caption said the Westpac rescue helicopter was involved. In fact, the helicopter was one of the Northland Electricity Rescue Helicopters which are run by the Northland Emergency Services Trust. For more information see: www.nest.org.nz

We were most upset to read the lead article on the front page of the latest Bream Bay News, although when we turned to page 7 we did find other viewpoints had also been recorded. However, we would query the balance of reporting of negatives on the front page, leaving the positives until later in the newspaper.It is interesting that Flynn was able ‘to do reasonably well in the end of year exams’ at Huanui College. He must have been well taught in the first two terms at Bream Bay College. If Flynn was so keen to learn Span-ish he could have studied it while at B.B.C. through the excellent correspondence system. Are Flynn or his parents aware of the constraints of the Cambridge International Examination curriculum? Students study a course which is not New Zealand orientated and in the two subject areas with which we are particularly familiar a course which is dated and content driven. As teachers who have taught both the NCEA and Cambridge syllabi, it should be noted that the two examination systems focus on different teach-ing approaches. Cambridge is ‘content focused’, based on an overseas curriculum with a single examination at the end of the course, which can be heavily scaled. NCEA with a NZ based curriculum is ‘process cen-tred’ with students encouraged to think independently. At each level of NCEA a balance of both internal and external assessments is designed to test against prede-termined standards.In our experience, students who have gone through the Cambridge system find university study more chal-lenging than those who have been successful in NCEA as research processes and inquiry learning are now required for success at university. Incidentally, where does Flynn plan to use his ‘international qualification’ that NCEA would not be acceptable?At the time when the present Bream Bay College teachers received the latest Bream Bay News, we hope that they were too busy celebrating the success of their students in the most recent NCEA external examina-tions to be affected by the implied negativity of the lead article. They will be spending the next two weeks until their students return preparing for another year

in a job where too many who are outside the system consider themselves to be an expert – even a fourteen year old within the system it seems.

Orrs Pharmacy staff professional and caring Being an avid reader of letters in the last year, It seems we have plenty to moan about. Sometimes it is good to just hear about people achieving their goals, or just doing the right thing by others.I would like to throttle some of the decision makers at times, but there are some quiet achievers who de-serve mention. One such person is Warren from Orr’s Pharmacy in Ruakaka. I have had some health issues in the last couple of years and have seen doctors and other professionals. Many of these people just do their jobs, but people such as Warren stand out for their to-tal focus and commitment to their roles. Recently my mother was moved to a medical unit in town. When we moved her, I found out that Warren had come to her house, after hours on many occasions to ensure she had the right medications and understood what each was for. He never charged her for these services and I have since found out he has done this for many others. He has also saved a lot of patient’s grief, when their rushed doctors have prescribed certain medications that could seriously harm them due to their ongoing conditions. For instance Mum was on Warferin and was prescribed Voltaren. An accident waiting to happen? I don’t pro-fess to understand medicines, so it is good to know I can rely on Warren’s experience, knowledge and where applicable research to ensure the health and well being of his customers.Him and his team at the pharmacy/chemist go well be-yond the call to help everyone. It is very refreshing in this world driven by economics, that there are still some people prepared to put in their own sweat unre-warded to look after our community.Congratulations Warren and your team for being so professional and caring about people’s well being.

We would just like to thank Lachie McLean, the or-ganisers, cast, producer, choreographer, pyrotehcni-cians, extras, car park attendants and everyone else involved in the wonderful pageant this past weekend. The whole thing was just magnificent and we were so impressed with the organisation. The crowds behaved beautifully and there was no stampede to get out at the end of the performance; we take our hats off to you all. Being a part of such a large crowd could have been quite intimidating for some of us elderly of Waipu but we only met with kindness and consideration from all and sundry, so thank you, thank you, thank you all.

On behalf of the Bream Bay Alterna-tive Education School, we would like to thank all those who have donated towards the purchase of our Toyota Estima van. This van is a most wel-come addition and will play a vital part in the ongoing activities of the School which is run under the ‘umbrella’ of the Bream Bay Assemblies of God Church and targets problem and “at risk youth” who don’t fit in with the more tradi-tional schools. Although small at this stage, we are greatly encouraged by some of the results achieved by Head Teacher/Supervisor Tame (Tom) Paki and part time teacher aid Sharon Paki. In particular, we would like to thank the Waipu Lions Club for their very gener-ous donation along with the Waipu Op Shop, SPIIND (South Pacific Industri-al Ltd) and Mr Alan Battrick and oth-ers. We are very grateful for the help and support given by our local groups – thank you!

I received a letter from Genesis this week informing me that: “Good News” a Genesis approved contractor is scheduled to upgrade my electricity meter by install-ing an Advanced Metre (otherwise known as a Smart Meter) on the 1 February 2013.I Googled it: OMG (Oh my Goodness)Where do I start? Health problems, privacy invasion, fires and electrical problems, interference with existing electronics, interference with medical devices (pace-makers etc, remote disconnection of power, hacking/cyber security vulnerability to electromagnetic pulses, increased power bills and so the list goes on.Lets just cover health problems: it says people are get-ting sick following the installation of Smart Meters. Health problems include nausea and vomiting, agita-tion, migraines, dizziness and disorientation, tinnitus - hearing ringing or buzzing, auto immune problems, insomnia/sleep problems, ear pain, seizures, heart rhythm disturbance, nose bleeds, pacemaker defibrilla-tion, rashes, depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and other mood disorders, eye problems, increased blood pressure, physical weakness and/or pain, decline of health, pulsing or pressure sensations, cognitive prob-lems including worsening memory and concentration and “brain fog”, flu like symptoms, urinary problems, hair loss,blackouts, developing hypersensitivity to oth-er electronics and wireless radiation. I turned the page and there was more. Unbelievable!On the strength of this information and extensive re-search I telephoned Genesis 0800 300 400 informing them that should an approved contractor come on to my property he or she would be trespassing and I do not want a Smart Meter installed. The person from the call centre very politely asked “why?” Why!!! I didn’t go into detail but suggested they do their own research but that I did not want it and could she please send me a letter confirming that Genesis would not be pursuing this further.

Her parting shot was,” We are required to upgrade me-tres by 2015” and should I not have one they would cut off my power. I informed the girl that I do have a choice. I wish to have an Analogue metre fitted. As long as your meter is reading correctly there is no need to replace it. So readers who have also received this letter from Genesis or any other power company, please research the subject for yourself and make the call 0800 300 400 Genesis. This is not compulsory under NZ regula-tions. I intend putting a padlock on my meter box to ensure this installation does not happen should I not be home on February 1, when and if a contractor should happen to turn up. To find out more go to: www.stopsmartmetres.com.au or type in Analysis Smart meter and small grid prob-lem. There is plenty of information available.

A model of the Marsden A Power Plant A scale model of the now dismantled Marsden A Power Station has arrived in Ruakaka. In December 2012 Mighty River Power Ltd. Land Access Manager Duncan Annandale, contacted the Bream Bay News to say Mighty River Power’s Hamilton staff were preparing for an office move and no longer had space to store the 1.2 metre square model. He asked for ideas about where it could go. Mighty River Power arranged to transport the model to Ruakaka and it is currently being stored at the Ruakaka Recreation Centre.Warren Daniel, secretary of the Ruakaka Residents and Ratepayer

Association, said arranging for some restoration work and finding the model a home would be on the agenda of the association’s first meeting for this year, due to be held on 12 February at 7.30pm

Meals on Wheels are once again available in Waipu. Gwyneth Scotland, who organises the volunteer delivery roster, said the service ceased for a few months last year but has been up and running for some time now. However people don’t seem to realise this and, although she has a full roster of drivers at the ready often there are no meals ordered for them to deliver. The meals are once again cooked at the Ranburn rest home and hospital kitchen. A main course and dessert costs $7. People who would like a meal delivered need to ring the Ranburn reception desk – 432 0675 the day before and to place their order.Gwyneth said going on the Meals on Wheels delivery list doesn’t need to be permanent. “People can order meals for just a week or two or even for a few days if they are just out of hospital or have been ill and don’t feel like cooking.”The service is only available in the Waipu rural delivery and township area.

Bream Bay News 31 January 2013

Ruakaka woman Julie Pyle has opened her own designer label fashion boutique in Whangarei. The shop is called byDesign and is at number 16 Porowini Avenue. Many local people will recognise Julie. She is the instigator of the annual Princess Ball where women and girls are invited to dress for a glittering night of music and dance. She also had a big involvement with the One Tree Point mainly music group for preschool children and their parents. Julie said she had two career ambitions when she was at high school, either to be an interior architect or a fashion designer. “In those days you had to go to Europe to study fashion. I didn’t even have a boyfriend at the time but I knew I wanted to get married and have children. Family has always been important to me.”So she settled for secretarial work and then for the past 20 years she has been a mother as well as being involved in community work.“I started sewing again a few years ago, just for myself and for friends. I couldn’t find the kind of clothes I liked in the shops.”“I was ready for something different and when I saw the Northtec course advertised it just made sense.”Just as Julie was graduating from the two year course, the Elim Church she is involved

with decided to rent shop space in its Porowini Avenue building. “A lot of the CBD is very expensive but this space came at a good price A door seemed to open and I walked through it.” She painted the walls white to show off the clothes, her husband Gary laid a new floor. Julie sewed patchwork curtains and made lampshades, and found antique sewing machines, clocks, furniture. “I believe in using what you have in your hands and doing something creative with it. You hear people say when I can get hold of this or can afford to do that but if you just look around, you can usually do something with what you have.” Last week she had set up a table with complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits as the café next door was temporarily closed. “You can do things like that when it’s your own shop”, she said. There is not much else like this in Whangarei but people from Wellington or Auckland instantly understand the designer boutique concept. A Frenchwoman told Julie the shop reminded her of Paris. Two of Julie’s fellow Northtec course students: Samantha Wakelin and Charlotte Davidson contribute their designs to the racks. “Creative people need to be together”, said Julie. Alongside the shop is a workshop with sewing machines and pattern cutting tables. Once designs are finalised, out workers sew up the garments. Julie likes the idea of keeping skills alive. When everything is made in China, people here will lose the old skills of sewing, shoemaking, etc. Back in the days when people sewed their own clothes people wore individual designs. Now we all look the same, just in different sizes and shapes.”Julie designs clothes for sizes 8 – 24. She specializes in jackets and coats. “If you have got a good jacket you can wear almost anything underneath and still

look dressed”She says she likes clothes that are “outside fashion” by which she means they will not date too quickly. Her top of the line garment is a classic New York style coat, silk lined red cashmere coat with a price tag of $495. Most dresses cost around $200, jackets start at $180. The full catalogue can be viewed (and purchased) on the website:www.bydesignnz.co.nzThere are some beautiful screen printed dresses and shirts. Julie studied screen printing as part of her Northtec course and now hires the Northtec screen printing studio for her work. She hopes to keep up a relationship with the polytechnic and to be able to help students on the course. “It’s one thing to design things as part of your course work and quite another to work for an outlet like this.”Julie is a bit of a star at Northtec. A picture of her wearing a tartan wool jacket of her own design emblazons the back of a bus advertising Northtec courses and is on a bill board at a prominent intersection in the city. She is brimming with ideas. She is thinking of holding “style evenings” where people dress up to the nines, drink tea and eat cakes. She has a collection of antique tea cups ready. Cooking is another of her skills. Amongst her Bream Bay friends Julie is known as a wonderful cook and hostess. She talks about the possibility of a café alongside the fashion boutique.“Obviously I am not ready to open a café just yet but one day.” She is thinking about exporting to America where her large size range of clothes might be popular.

If you think modern human families can be confusing try to get your head around the adoption and fostering arrangements the Department of Conservation puts into place as it attempts to save the dwindling New Zealand fairy tern population. No fairy tern chicks have fledged on the Waipu sandspit this year, although two chicks hatched from eggs taken from a Waipu nest have been banded and are close to fledging in a nest at Pakiri.

No fairy tern fledgelings at Waipu this season

The eggs were taken from a nest right on the northern end of the sandspit, which was dangerously close to the tide. These eggs were swapped with two in the Pakiri nest, which because of a mother and son pairing, were considered genetically weaker than the Waipu eggs. The Pakiri eggs, were placed in the Waipu sandspit northern nest but needed to be rescued when a high tide threatened to swamp them. They were replaced with a dummy egg and taken to the Auckland zoo where they were kept in an incubator. However, the parents birds abandoned the nest (perhaps thinking better about its location) and the Pakiri eggs, by this time close to hatching, were placed in a nest on the Mangawhai sandspit. A surviving chick from one of these eggs has been banded and is very close to fledging. The two eggs from the Mangawhai nest meanwhile replaced two, which had failed to hatch in a second Waipu nest in a crater half way along the sandspit.This nest however came to grief. A fortnight ago one of these eggs disappeared and two days afterwards the chick, which had hatched from the second egg, also disappeared. Ranger Tahi Bishop said he suspects the predator was a black - backed gull as he saw some big gull footprints around the crater where the nest had been. At present there are five live fairy tern chicks, three at Mangawhai and two at Pakiri. You might be relieved to know the two additional Mangawhai chicks were hatched and then reared by their parents. Neither of the Waipu sandspit pairs is showing any interest in re-nesting, which Tahi puts it down to the season. Fairy tern pairs have been known to attempt to nest five times in a summer. The volunteer Waipu trapping group continues to maintain lines of predator traps on the sandspit with this season’s tally: 31 rats, four stoats, two weasels, 3 mice and 10 rabbits. Trapper Greg Stump said although the fairy terns have not had much success this season he has seen dotterel chicks learning to feed on the beach. “Its nice to know there are less predators out there because of our valiant efforts.”Mangawhai’s Fairy Tern ranger Rangi Zimmerman said five new fairy terns is probably just enough to maintain the population as some of the older birds are no longer around this year. The total population of NZ Fairy Tern is thought to be somewhere between 30 and 40. It is New Zealand’s most critically endangered bird species. Rangi takes some heart from a third nest at Mangawhai this season by a new pairing of young birds, the male, a four year old born and bred on the Waipu sandspit. Although the single egg they produced was infertile, Rangi is hopeful they will have more success next year. Another positive development is that for the first time in over 20 years a pair of fairy tern nested at Te Arai. The two eggs in this nest mysteriously disappeared.

The gorse spider mite has been hard at work in Bream Bay over recent months, as can be seen by all the brown dead looking gorse in farm paddocks, along roadsides and on the Department of Conservation’s coastal land. Warm weather suits these insects and increases their breeding activity. Dry weather helps by weakening the gorse plants and making them more susceptible to spider mite attack. Gorse spider mites were introduced to New Zealand to help control gorse in 1989. They live in communal webs on gorse bushes. The webs are easily confused with those of nursery web spiders but if you look closely you will see the 1-2mm brick red coloured mites. These insects suck the cell content out of the gorse leaves and stems.Herbicide spray will destroy them and two species of beetle introduced to control mites on horticultural crops also prey on gorse mites. This year however the spider mites seem to be winning. Other possible reasons for all the dying gorse is the gorse pod moth, which feeds on the buds and prevents the plant from flowering and the gorse seed weevil which eats the developing seeds. The gorse seed weevil was introduced to New Zealand in 1928.

What’s killing the gorse?

Whangarei District Council can get its own rules in place, subdivision as of right in rural areas cannot be into smaller lots than 20 hectares. Paul Waanders, the Council’s Policy and Monitoring Manager said this restriction doesn’t serve anybody very well as 20 hectare lots are too big for lifestyle block owners and too small for economic farm units. The draft strategy proposes to do away with the old Coastal and Coastal Countryside zones and set up new ones named: Rural Production, Rural Living (lifestyle blocks), Rural Villages and Rural Industry with specific rules for each. The Draft Rural Development Strategy is due to go before the Whangarei District Council for adoption on March 13, so this is a last chance to have any input. Once the strategy is adopted the formal plan changes to give effect to the new rules will be publicly notified.

In total, seven different biological controls have been introduced into New Zealand to try to slow down the gorse. . There is also: the gorse thrip, the gorse soft shoot moth, the gorse hard shoot moth and a moth named scythris gradpennis which eats mature gorse in winter. The last was introduced in 1993 but has not been very successful in New Zealand. The Northland Regional Council’s biosecurity officer Don McKenzie doesn’t think any of this species ever made it up to Northland. Another biological control at work in Bream Bay is the ragwort flea beetle. Mr. McKenzie said thanks to this insect we no longer have big infestations of ragwort here.“If you happen to see any flowering ragwort have a look at the flower heads and you are likely to see these beetles at work.” Work to introduce new biological control species is ongoing. Don McKenzie said it’s a long process to get a new control agent approved. “We work with other councils across New Zealand. We have to make sure whatever we are bringing in is species specific but bio controls are a very cost effective way of controlling pests. The Northland Regional Council is currently checking two more possible introductions: a rust, which will control lantana (this is already in use in Australia) and a beetle to control tradescantia or Wandering Jew.

Her name is Kelly Gillingham, she is sixteen years old and in 2012 completed year 12 at Bream Bay College. Last October she won the prestigious Noel Burnett Tap Award, the biggest annual tap dancing competition held in New Zealand with a cash prize of $5,000. This competition, run by the Auckland Caledonian Dance Society, brings together some of the top competitors in all styles of dance from across the country. Kelly has been competing in the tap section for the past 6 years. In October she was up against 20 other tap dancers with ages ranging from 15 to 21. Winning this competition was the brightest in a year of dancing highlights for Kelly. In March 2012, she received a nomination from the Bays School of Dance Competition for the PACANZ (Performing Arts Competitions Association of New Zealand Inc) National Young Performer of the Year Awards for tap. This was held in Invercargill in October.“It was a great experience with more than 60 other tap competitors performing,” said Kelly. She sat her last tap exam (the Solo Seal – the highest award under the New Zealand Association of Modern Dance syllabus). She passed and was also awarded a scholarship to compete in the NZAMD scholarship awards in Wellington in November. Kelly has competed in this award the past three years and in 2011 made it to the final. Last year was the last time she was eligible to compete. The scholarship consisted of an audition type class, taught in 2012 by renowned American tap dancer, Keith Clifton. From approximately 60 tap dancers from all over New Zealand, 12 were chosen for the final. Kelly – “We (the twelve finalists) then had to perform the same dance taught in the audition on stage in front of hundreds of people. After the performance I was awarded second place by Keith Clifton, with the prize money of $400.”Kelly also competed in the Auckland Regional Showcase Dance Nationals, a qualifier for the Australia ‘Dancer of the Year’ Showcase National Competition held on the Gold Coast Australia in January 2013. She qualified for the ‘Dancer of the Year’, and was placed in the Gold category for each of her dances. Kelly didn’t cross the Tasman for this event although she said she has been in the past.Kelly also attends classes in other styles of dance, which she says improves her dance technique. Last year she attended weekly ballet lessons as well as contemporary and jazz lessons through Pulse Dance Studio. She also sat exams for jazz and contemporary dance under the NZAMD syllabus, passing these as well as the tap exam.Kelly began tap dancing when she was six years old under the tuition of Jackie Osborne-Boyd of Ruakaka and began competing when she was just seven.Her tap dancing teacher is now Andrew Cesan of Auckland, with additional tuition from Peter Kemble of Whangaparoa.Kelly will be returning to Bream Bay College this year for her final year. She said she did well in her Level 2 NCEA exams and is aiming to study for a degree in Health Science at Auckland University. The dancing prize money will go into her university fund. How does she fit it all in? She admits it is difficult. She tries to practise dancing every day and every second weekend travels to Auckland for lessons. “I often fit in competitions around these trips. I prioritise which competitions I go to these days. It seems to be working out quite well. “I couldn’t do it without the huge amount of support I get from my parents, which allows me to travel to different competitions around New Zealand.”

How about this for an original, enterprising idea? Pav Stacey, who runs 30 suri alpacas on a 30 - acre block in Arcadian Lane off Millbrook Rd., Waipu, is inviting paying customers to take her animals for a walk on the beach. Pav and her husband Mark run a farmstay and have already tried this idea out on some of their guests. Pav says Asian people, in particular, enjoy being close to the animals. In Japan, alpaca fibre is well known for it’s lustre and softness and is used for luxury clothing.Before coming to New Zealand in 1996 Pav spent seventeen years working for the multi national technology company IBM in England. From England and computers to Waipu and alpacas seems like quite a lifestyle change.Pav’s alpacas are all halter trained and they enjoy the water sometimes sitting down in the surf to let the waves wash over them. Pav often gets asked if they can swim. She has never taken them in deep enough to find out but has seen a You Tube video of an alpaca on a surf board and says “it looks happy enough”.After leading the animals along the beach the guests sit out of the sun under a gazebo while a gourmet picnic is prepared for them. The alpacas get to tuck into hay and chaff in a pen besides the gazebo. The alpaca beach walking takes place at Te Arai Point, where no dogs are allowed.

Australian blues band at the Waipu Hotel

The Moondogs Gypsy Blues Band, a two piece original blues band from Cairns will be play-ing at the Waipu Hotel on Satur-day 9 February. ‘Raw and raunchy, hot and feisty” is how hotelier Sandy Denize describs this band. The Moondogs Gypsy Blues Band website says the style is “‘beat up blues a billy” and that its influences are: Lightnin Hopkins, Tom Waits and Bo Diddley.

Dirty weekends are booked for Maungaturoto in March. Actually, that’s the play ‘Dirty Weekends’, opening on March 15th at Otamatea Repertory Theatre, which apparently is family entertainment. ‘The dirtiest things in the play are the tomcat and the compost heap,’ says director, Alister Williams. This play, by Roger Hall and Philip Norman, uses humour and music to show how gardening and relationships can intertwine.This cast has been grafted together from Waipu, Maungaturoto, Kaiwaka and Ruawai and the gardenware gathered from the bounteous Hammer Hardware in Waipu.Look ahead: the harvest moon will be waning and the ides of March will be upon us, so check your diary and plan to visit the Fresh Earth Garden Centre at ORT for the remarkably clean ‘Dirty Weekends’ (15-24 March).

The books at the Waipu Library have been on the move again. Recently, the volunteers had yet an-other working bee and new shelves were put up and books are now housed in different areas. The new look is very smart and there is more room on the shelves.

The Library is having a busy summer with lots of new members joining. However, there are still doz-ens of membership cards waiting to be picked up. Do pop in and browse through the vast range on offer. We are especially proud of the children’s sec-tion with its board books, picture books and young readers.

Make Waipu Library your destination this summer.
