Shadelite Industry Marsden A to be Fruit for everyone at Ruakaka Primary dismantled as well. Story and pictures by Julie Paton. The demolition of what remains of the Marsden A power station will begin this month and is expected to take five months to complete. Mighty River Power, the state owned enterprise which owns the land and building, has contracted the South Auckland based company Ward Demolition Limited to carry out the work. Mark Trigg, Mighty River Power’s General Manager Development said the company would retain ownership of the land at Ruakaka but has “no immediate plans for the site.” Mr. Trigg said Mighty River Power would be working closely with Ward Demolition to ensure all reasonable steps are taken to limit noise, vibration and dust as work progresses.Meanwhile the dismantled Marsden B plant sits on the wharf at Marsden Point. The ship Happy River is due at Northport on 20 May to load the plant for shipment to India. Last week a high court injunction was placed on the shipment, over a claim by the Ruakaka Engineering firm SPI that it was owed a further $2.5 million for the job of dismantling the plant as more asbestos then was expected was found inside it. The Indian telecommunications company United Telecom Ltd.

Please feel free to come in and meet your new neighbours. He says sometimes swamp kauri has been burned as firewood by Northlanders. However he has concerns about Northland’s high-unemployed youth rate and says it is a pity that the coffins are not being made here and then sent to China. He recently attended the installation of a carving he had made in ancient kauri at the Shell head office in The Hague and those present stood in silent awe of the carving and the ancient timber and what it represented. “It’s a treasure. In a hundred years time it will be all gone as the kauri forests are now all gone. Those trees stood here as sentinels in this land for a long, long time before any people arrived.” Mr. Strongman said he would like to see a carving made from ancient kauri at every corporate office in New Zealand as something people could stand in front of in silence and stillness. No further action on illegal chemical dumping James Mitchell the Hazardous Substances Specialist with the Northland Regional Council says, as it has proved impossible to establish the identity of the person who illegally dumped 250 kilograms of the chemical mecoprop at industrial strength in Tip Rd. near the Uretiti Refuse Station earlier this year, the Northland Regional Council will not be taking any further action on this incident. “We have no way of connecting the person on whose property the material was stored to the dumping”, he said. He said taking legal action would incur court costs for the NRC without much chance of a conviction. “While this is unfortunate, the outcomes that we have seen come from this case include: the dismissal of the person who allegedly took the substance, improvements in the various companies’ tracking systems, and the removal and proper disposal of the material. “All that we can do is to urge people to contact us as soon as possible, so that we have the maximum possible opportunity to investigate any environmental incident, rather than to try and piece things together after the fact. The DoC and the NRC have learned from this incident and, hopefully, there will not be a repeat of this sort of event.” Bream Bay News Page 8 10 May 2012 A free course to help people with long term health conditions make the most of their lives A new self management course for people with The programme is named Whakamana Hauora and its caregivers and health professionals, recognise and long term health conditions and their partners, aim is to help people with chronic illness to live more deal with difficult emotions, get the best from their family members and other support people is being fulfilling, positive and active lives. medication and will be shown how to use relaxation offered free at the Bream Bay Community Trust at The idea originated at Stanford University in the USA techniques to reduce tiredness and stress.

An article in the New Zealand Herald about the Waipu coastal trail brought out many walkers over Easter weekend, reports Alan McKenzie the trail’s champion. Alan has worked for many years to get the trail re- opened. He remembers his children when they were young being able to walk around the coast from their bach at Langs Beach to Waipu Cove and thinks early settlers would have used the route. /.%42%%0/).4 /.%42%%0/).425!+!+!

At present the trail goes from Waipu Cove to a public right of way opposite Waterman Drive – just before you get to Langs Beach. The Waipu Lions have plans to extend the trail all the way to Ding Bay and a continuous esplanade reserve along the coastline makes this viable. However the Lions have received a letter from an Albany lawyer on behalf of two adjacent property owners claiming this section would be too dangerous and that people have been trapped on the beach by the tide here in the past. However Alan points out that a clearly defined trail would give escape routes in two directions for those who linger too long on the beach.

Bream Bay News Page 14. 10 May 2012 They named their restaurant for the town in

Morocco where they fell in love Aissam and Heather Riadi have opened a Moroccan restaurant, L’Armour de Kashar at Number 1, The Centre in Waipu – which many people still know as Artform. Aissam is from Morocco and Heather is a kiwi, of Scottish descent, which is why she says they ended up in Waipu. They have been living here for the past two years and opened the restaurant last month. They fell in love in the Moroccan town of Kashar, and this is where they get the name of their new business, explains Aissam. “We hope this will be good for Waipu”, says Heather as she arrived with a huge bunch of ﬂowers from her garden for decorating the dining room. They have a four - acre garden at their Millbrook Rd. home and plan to use this venue to cater for weddings and other functions. Aissam says the Moroccan restaurant will offer something new to local people and will help to relieve the busiest times at the Pizza Barn, just across the road. L’Armour de Kashar is open six days and closed on Mondays. The doors open at 9am. A speciality is Moroccan coffee made with ginger, cloves and cinnamon.
