A colourful scene under the

pohutukawa trees at Waipu Cove Ilia and Eva Petro, the owners of the new La" Nonna bakery and café on the layby alongside State Highway One in Ruakaka, have some big plans for that location. The couple owns the site, which stretches from the bakery/café up to, and including the Gas Alley Petrol station, and eventually hope to build a new, larger petrol station there. In the meantime, they are seeking resource consent to build three more shops between the bakery and the petrol station as well as some public toilets. Mr. Petro said he has had expressions of interest from various businesses people who might occupy the new shops but he cannot say what these might be as nothing has He hopes to have the new toilets in place by October this year. Mr. Petro said he is aware of but not bothered by plans to build a truck stop area with restaurants, a café and petrol station on the Port Marsden Highway nearby as he thinks its location directly alongside State Highway One will give his retail development the advantage.

The Petros have owned the La'Nonna Bakery and the

surrounding shops in Kaiwaka for the past eight years. "We have tidied that area up. When we bought that Kaiwaka land the buildings on it were all old. We put in a new concrete car park. It looks a lot better. We are planning to do the same for Ruakaka." The lack of toilets and the general untidiness of the

Ruakaka State Highway 1 layby has been a concern

of the Ruakaka Residents and Ratepayers Association who have pointed out to the Whangarei District Council

It was a glorious day on Thursday 19th February for the annual picnic at Waipu Cove for kuia and kaumatua

organized by Te Ha Oranga - Ngati Whatua Iwi Health Provider.

Community Health Worker and local to Waipu - Jeanette Nathan said that this is the 5th year for the picnic

and the participants all look forward to this regular outing.

"We need to nurture our elders as they are the essence of our Maori community and that they love gathering

together,"Jeanette said.

Two of the group, including and 84 year old kuia, even took the opportunity to take a swim in the sea. There

was much sharing of stories, ukulele playing, joyous singing and a lot of laughter. For lunch they had scones,

BBQ mussel fritters, a variety of salads, and a boysenberry ice-cream.

I have had a few comments about the article in the last issue on the Fight Night planned for the Ruakaka Tavern. Actually I was quite pleased about that article. as broadly and truthfully as possible. I was out distributing papers around the Ruakaka shops last week and a young Maori girl came up and asked me for a copy. She wanted to see the photo of the boxers inside. I thought "Great, there is something in there for a section of our community I probably don't cater for particularly well." I will, no doubt, get more comments about the interview with Herbe Rata in this issue. I would be interested to hear from those who know Herbie a bit better than I do. that he has "a silver tongue" and perhaps I am a bit susceptible to this kind of persuasion. His answer to the question about whether or not his boxing club is a way of recruiting young men into the Headhunters doesn't completely reassure me. There is no surer way of making young people want to belong to something then telling them they are not good enough for it. However I have lived long enough to understand that people are complicated. No one is completely good or completely bad. People who have done bad things can do good things. People can change. There is always hope. Sometimes it is those wild, headstrong, young people who get themselves into all kinds of scrapes who turn out to be the best leaders with the most empathy for other people's problems. I think Herbie would make a good politician. He has that kind of charisma and wiliness. Perhaps he is developing a sense of social justice as indicated by his thoughts on the New Zealand justice system. His loyalty to the Headhunters Gang could be a problem though, if he wanted to join a politcal party. But stranger things have happened. He presents a bit of an enigma. The reported activities of the Headhunters Motorcylce Club, he belongs to undermine civil society. "The Headhunters is just another club", says Herbie. According to a Wikipedia article there are currently

110 members of this "club" in prison in New Zealand.

In the early 2,000s Headhunters were convicted of

running a large methamphetamine ring. There have also been convictions for theft, rape and murder. I have heard local anecdotes about Headhunter gang members extorting money from vulnerable people.in our community. It is not surprising that some of Herbie's neighbours looked a bit askance at him when he decided to move back to Takahiwai. There is a bit of a vacuum for someone capable of and willing to take some of these young men and women in hand, to help them to learn about discipline and purpose. I believe Herbie Rata has genuine enthusiasm for the sport of boxing. He knows a bit about organising boxing events and he is helping to introduce this sport to our community. I am hoping for the best. He invited me to the Fight Night but I don't think I will be going. While I understand that boxers are athletes and there is courage and grace in this sport, I don't like watching people get hurt. I feel a bit the same about watching club rugby. I hope all those beautiful young people come through this event without major damage. In conclusion I just want to say that I believe it helps to shed a bit of light on any situation. If, as some people fear, The Takahiwai Boxing Club is a ruse to recruit young men into the Headhunters then we are all going to be watching.

There were just fewer than

2,000 entries at this years

competition, which was based at the Marsden Cove

Marina from Thursday 19

to Saturday 21 February.

David Baty, whose

company Prestige Events runs the competition, said the numbers didn't quite reach the 2014 record of just over 2,000 which was strange, as the weather was much better this year. brought in to be weighed the average size of those presented was heavier than last year's average. The

Beach and Boat competition

The Bream Bay News put a few questions on behalf of the people of Ruakaka to the Whangarei District Council's Group Manager of Infrastructure and Services, Simon Weston on the subject of the proposed sale of sand from the edge of the

Ruakaka Sports Park to Northport.

We asked: What stage is the negotiation with Northport for this sale at? Mr. Weston, "We haven't got anything signed between us but we have been discussing it for a while." Is the sand suitable for the purpose Northport wants to use it for" for that purpose." How much money will be made from the sale of the sand? Mr. Weston - "This is commercial information so I cannot say." Will all the money generated from this sale be spent in Ruakaka.

Mr. Weston - "Yes."

Bruce Cann, who has lived all his life in Ruakaka and whose father was a Whangarei County Councillor, takes issue with a suggestion made in the Bream Bay News editorial of 12 February , that the Roger Hall Memorial Park land was donated to the people of Ruakaka by the NZ Electricity Department at the time of the construction of the Marsden Power Stations. County Council "fair and square" from the Sime family. Mr. Cann said the sand mound was built with the idea that it could become a viewing position for people watching afternoon games as the sun shines directly into the eyes of people standing there. Mr. Cann said as the prevailing wind is from the South west the mound does not It might however offer some protection from infrequent easterly storm events

A w e s o m e p r iz e s t o b e w o n V is it u s a t s ite 1 3 4 B I have just read the front page article in the Bream Bay For those that did not read the last issue, I would like to share some of the contents of the article. The article was about holding boxing matches at our local tavern. While I am not against boxing at all, I am appalled at the person or gang that is really backing this event. Are we all idiots? Do the owners of the Ruakaka Tav- ern have any standards of acceptable cliental? I would think the Woods brothers who have interest in the tav- ern wouldn't associate themselves with gangs. What about Ken Orr, does he still hold an interest? Has he been informed about these boxing events and who is backing them?

This promotional boxing event is backed by Head

Hunter Member, Herbie Rata. This evil person is no one to look up to. He has already destroyed the lives of These boxing events are used to lure and recruit young vulnerable people into thinking there is a better life with the head hunters gang. Look at the colours of the t shirts, red and black. These are the head hunter gang colours! Don't be fooled! disgusted. I guarantee most people from Takahiwai are of the name of the club when many of us know that he is associated with the headhunters gang. Now back to the tavern. I enjoy a night down at the tavern once in a while to watch a band and catch up with friends, but that is because I feel safe and I know the tavern is not overrun with gang members. If we allow this event to go ahead, the tavern will lose hard working honest cliental and gain gang members. I am not overacting. This will be Ruakaka's future.

Do we want this to happen?

Stand up everyone. Have your say. Don't be fooled. It's just another way to recruit your son, your nephew, your brother.

Takahiwai True.

Editor - I usually require a name to be published along with a letter but. in this case, because the Headhunter Club has a somewhat fearsome reputation I think there It's been a while since I have felt the need to vent, and it's disappointing that the world we live in is such that through my own bemusement and frustration that I feel compelled to vent to our local rate payers through my favourite paper the Bream Bay News. I took my eight - year- old son to school on Monday, he rode his bike, and I tried to skateboard. I tried but due to the stones covering the path from the road re-sealing with two students that had fallen from roller blading and more were complaining about the stones on their feet. I decided to take my new found information to the lo- crossing had not been painted, (all other road markings had). The lady I dealt with took my information in a friendly manor and thanked me for passing it on. The next day the crossing was painted, excellent. Today

I noticed two messages on my phone from Downers

(the contractors) asking me to make contact. The man I spoke to was polite and friendly, and explained that, he had been out, looked at the stones on the path and understood the issue. However they won't be sweeping the stones back on to the road because the cars would just spray it back on to the footpath and they would have to come back and do it again and, obviously, an expense would be incurred. I tried to passionately sug- gest that it was not good enough. Downers also explained the stones on the paths are to stay like this for the next 1 to 2 weeks. The contractors are hoping the weather will heat up the tar allowing the stones to stick better. I guess the ones on the paths don't get to stick to the tar. I can't believe that WDC waits for people to complain- before they act. This work should have been inspected directly affected. This is typical of the half done proj- ects that seem to get done in One Tree Point. To those reading this please stop accepting sub-stan- dard services from our WDC. Let them know when they get it wrong and when they get it right, otherwise they will continue to make poor decisions. It only takes a phone call.
