UFO?
We
have been invited to involve our beach cam in the www.surf.co.nz
website.
This is New Zealands leading online Surf Resource.
A
viewer saw this picture on our website beach cam and thought it
was of interest. He headed it up UFO? Perhaps its the UFO that
was recently spotted soaring above the Shannon township or more
likely a toy helicopter? Any ideas?
Welcome
to our Surf Viewers!

DOB
IN THE DUMPERS
Horizons Regional Council is asking for community help in
finding who is dumping rubbish and garden waste
on both Hokio and Waiterere Beaches.
“Everybody
loses when people do this as ratepayer’s money is
used to clean up the mess,” says Horizons
media liaison advisor Emma Goodwin.
Randomly
dumped garden waste also allows pest plants to
spread and household rubbish fouls beaches and is
hazardous to both wildlife and people.
Infringers
can face a fine up to $1000 or prosecution.
Horizons
is encouraging anyone who has information with
details of who is doing the illegal dumping to phone its
pollution hotline on 0508 476 558.
Helpful
information should include date,
times and car number plate details.

Who

We
recieved an email expalining the origin of the magpies on the
sign.It turned out to be a bit of a dig at a mate who
had to work and couldn't get out fishing with the boys.
Great joke guys!

Update
Winter
is defiantly here, its cold and the Tararuas are looking magnificent
with its snow capped hills. The good news is that the shortest
day has been and gone and the days will start to get longer.
Kopoturoa
School Bus
Susanne
and I helped sponsor the Kopoturoa School Bus recently. The school
needed help to paint their bus and they decided to get a variety
of local businesses to come to the party. The bus looks fantastic
finished and the kids love it…as do the sponsors. Our website
address is on the drivers’ door below Franks Waitarere Beach
4 Square sign. Great job Kopoturoa School…we are proud to
be able to help.
Susannes Underpass
A
local farmer has constructed an underpass for his herd of cows
to cross under the main road coming into Waitarere Beach rather
than the old trip they took walking across. Many of the local
Community have voiced their opinion on the problems caused by
the cows constantly crossing the road. The farmer has now made
the pass a reality and the Chronicle featured it on the front
page joking about how the farmer has named the underpass after
Susanne. Susanne respected the humor behind the story and is happy
the job has been done. Congratulations to the farmer for finally
making a difference.
February
2005 Update
Jetstream
is here!
Well,
the day has come where all the telecommunication problems you
have been telling me about at Waitarere for the past two years
have disappeared.
There are two ways to apply for Jetstream;
1. Ring 123 and give your details over the phone.
2. Apply
on line
Incidently, I hope your cell phones are working OK now that the
Telecom cell site has been completed.
Waitarere now has Mobile, Telephone and Broadband services which
are up with the best anywhere in New Zealand. All you have to
do is use them!!
Best Wishes and happy surfing on the net,
Grahame Delaney.
PS, If you have any problems, just give me a ring.
Thanks Graeme...its awesome to finally have the services
available to us at the beach. The cell phone reception is fantastic,
what a change! I don't have to stand in all postions
in order to get some sort of coverage now. Fully appreciate everything
you have done.
November
2004 Update
Jetstream
is coming
Some
good news regarding Jetstream for Waitarere.
1. It has been approved for installation.
2. The timing for this will be about February 2005.
The reason for the lead time is because Telecom, nationally, are
flatout with these installs, with a very long queue. Also the
Government Probe contracts (broadband to the schools etc) are
currently under action. If there is any change on the above I
will notify you as soon as possible.
If you have any queries etc, please feel free to contact me either
by e-mail (Grahame.Delaney@Telecom.co.nz), through Telecoms main
switchboard or call (04) 802 6532. |
