While plastic is a major pollutant, it is so ingrained into modern life that it is complicated to stop using. This is why it is essential to work with individuals, businesses and communities to come up with positive, reasonable actions for change. In my experience, working with people means taking time to understand where they are coming from, the struggles they might be facing to go zero waste and then developing reasonable steps that address these.

in and of itself than expecting everyone to change everything about the way they live right now.

Like many, I have been in support of Plastic Bag Free Raglan (PBFR) but have largely remained on the sidelines of the project.

Recently, I have heard some concerns about the use of compostable bags as they still support the single use habit, where reusable bags are the preferred option.

Reusable products are always the best solution. However, I think PBFR and our local businesses have made a deliberate choice to provide an interim and important step for customers to take goods home. This is an example of working with people for change. Compostable bags (as a step) allow businesses to participate in eliminating plastic bags while feeling secure that this will not damage their relationship with customers. The ultimate goal remains to transition to reusable bags, but this way more people are included in this transition.

I am happy to continue this conversation with anyone who has questions or comments. I can be reached at valeriebianchi@gmail.com.

Exhibition features artist talks The artists behind the RaglanArt. nz website are holding their second exhibition at Rivet, opening tomorrow night.

RaglanArt photographer Richard Gemmell says the exhibition represents various styles and mediums, and some of the artists will be giving talks about their work on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 10.30am.

A previous exhibition held by the group in May was packed out on opening night and Richard says it is hoped that the artist talks will help to spread out the visiting numbers.

The exhibition includes photos by

Richard, paintings by Claudia Grutke, Elsa Lye, Ro Fawcett, Toni Kingstone and Lois Brooks, mixed media by Maris Rarere and digital imagery by Ailene Cuthbertson.

Lois, Ro and Richard will talk about their work on Saturday morning, and Ailene and Elsa on Sunday.

“It’s interesting to understand what is behind an artist’s work,” says Richard, who likes to convey a sense of his feelings in photos, rather than just a “strict depiction” of a scene.

The exhibition opening is on Friday, August 4, 5.30pm-9pm. Exhibition hours are 10.30am-4pm, Saturday, August 5, to Monday, August 7. At Rivet, 58 Wallis St.

Eighth annual bike race shines in event history

Karioi Classic 2017: Riders getting prepared for the start of this year's race.

I

t was the fastest Karioi Classic event in history – no one competing in the final 43km Classic race took longer than four hours and record times were made in the 87km Enduro and 57km Classic XL races.

“Maybe we should do drug testing next year and check for electric motors,” jokes organiser Dirk De Ruysscher, owner of Raglan Cyclery.

But it was also the best weather the event has ever seen and the roads around the mountain hadn’t had a load of fresh metal dumped on them recently.

“The weather was a factor – light winds,” concedes Dirk, compared to last year’s galeforce winds that brought a tree down across a road. “And also the course was quite fast – they hadn’t put any new gravel on there, that makes a difference.”

A record number of 349 riders registered for the eighth annual event – about 70 more competitors then the previous record.

“Funny enough, we probably did less advertising this year but from Wednesday onwards it was clear it was going to be a really nice day,” says Dirk.

About 200 of the registrations came in the finals days leading up to race day, including that from 9-year-old Quin Howard who rode with his dad in the 43km Classic.

“He’s our youngest competitor ever,” says Dirk.

The oldest competitors were 70-plus, and there were also many riders aged 60-69.

“They are really fit,” says Dirk. “The 60s are the new 50s, 40s even.”

He says the range in ages shows that “biking is for everyone”.

The races started at the corner of Wainui Rd and Stewart St. “The best feeling is when you see the start.

In the 43km we had almost 200 competitors. It’s

nice to see the cyclists are taking over the whole town – no cars!”

This year there were no major injuries or issues with naughty dogs wanting to run with riders. One rider came off his bike on a corner and put a hole in his knee but completed the course.

From Raglan, Joan Loten won the 43km women’s 40-49 age group and was second woman overall.

What’s amazing about that, and her time of 1:55:07, says Dirk, is that she did it all on a single-speed bike.

Husband Dr Mike Loten was second in the 85km men’s 50-59 age group.

Co-organiser Lisa Thomson says she had lots of “awesome” feedback from competitors about the event.

Two young girls had set up a drinks station on the corner of Ruapuke and Waimaunga roads, all ready to support the riders.

“They were encouraging the riders on: ‘You look great in that colour, keep riding’,” says Lisa. “The competitors were really appreciative.

I love that the community gets involved, that’s awesome to hear as an organiser.”

Lisa says competitors enjoy the views riding around the mountain and that they have to put some effort into the race. “It’s not a walk in the park, they really like that feeling of accomplishment at the end of the race.”

Competitor Emma Hadley from Auckland, who came first in the 85km Enduro women's division, says she loved every minute of the race.

“This was honestly the best event I have ever done and so well organised … I cannot wait for next year! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming.”

Christine and Wayne Trott with siverwear from their latest waka ama race in Tahiti.

A

Raglan West couple have triumphed over adversity – and inexperience – to make a big splash overseas in waka ama racing.

And they’ve three silver medals to show for it.

Christine and Wayne Trott, who suffered severe leg injuries in a motorbike accident close to 30 years ago, proudly showed off to the Chronicle last week the silverware they’ve just brought home from the IVF Va’a World Distance Championships in Tahiti.

Their success in the para or “adaptive” races is remarkable considering the short time both have been in the sport.

Wayne – who has a below-the-knee prosthetic – was coaxed by local paddler Aaron Kereopa into waka ama only a few years back while on a cycle ride along Marine Parade, a stone’s throw from home.

Christine was roped in to make up a women’s para team at national level in January this year despite hardly having paddled before.

“There aren’t many adaptive women (paddlers) in New Zealand,” she says of her inability to refuse when asked at the eleventh hour to make up a team at Lake Karapiro, where she happened to be on the sidelines rooting for Wayne.

Five paddlers couldn’t have raced without her participation, she explains of the team that went on to win gold.

Christine – who cannot bend one leg because she has no knee – got tips from Wayne only the night before, practising her paddling technique while sitting on a chair.

For the Worlds in Tahiti, however, where she was headed with Wayne as his No 1 supporter, Christine had eight weeks to prepare once it became clear that a woman competitor for the mixed para team had to pull out for medical reasons.

As well as training out on the water with Wayne’s open men’s team and with Raglan’s senior masters women’s team – who were aiming for the World Masters Games in Auckland in April – Christine had time to hone her skills at two intensive training camps.

Wayne attended all three training camps in Napier, Auckland and finally Tauranga where the 50 or so New Zealand athletes – or seven teams – prepared for international competition.

The couple’s hard work paid off with Wayne and Christine both winning silver medals in the mixed six-strong para team over a distance of 18km, while Wayne came away with another silver in his single outrigger race also over 18km.

It was the trip of a lifetime, say the youthful grandparents. Their time in Tahiti included an invitation to the Presidential palace for cocktails and canapes, and a cultural evening in which the New Zealand contingent performed two waiata and a haka.

Wayne reckons he’s addicted to the sport and would love to go back to Tahiti where it’s so popular. “Waka ama is to them what rugby is to New Zealand,” he says.

Even so New Zealand ranked second behind Tahiti in its medal haul, while Australia came a close third out of the 32 countries competing.

The couple are keen to continue training together. Wayne reckons he’d tried to talk Christine into paddling before, but this year’s lack of adaptive women competitors proved ultimately to be her motivation.

“Now we can put both our waka in the water and go adventuring in this beautiful harbour,” he says.

He reckons it’s the perfect sport for those with a disability because “we’re used to adversity and try harder”.

While Christine must paddle with one leg outstretched, she also has less paddle power because the large latissimus dormi muscle from the shoulder area was removed years ago to fill her knee cavity.

She admits paddling can be painful but says a change of medication and working with local physiotherapist Tessa Von Huben have been invaluable.

“We have got much support here (in Raglan),” Wayne adds. “And DK (Daniel Kereopa) is really good at tutoring.”

Volunteers needed for Beachcare planting at Ruapuke

really damaging to the fragile native plants that provide a buffer system to protect against coastal erosion,” says Stacey, who will be coordinating a Beachcare planting at Ruapuke on Sunday, August 6.

Most of the coastal dunes in the Waikato are now relatively bare environments compared to their natural state before European settlement, and lack native trees and shrubs.

Their barren nature has been caused by stock trampling coastal dune systems, sand mining, vegetation being destroyed or removed for the development of beachfront communities, properties and reserves, and the introduction of exotic vegetation and infestation of weeds.

Stacey says foredune vegetation – native sand-binding grasses such as pingao and spinifex – are extremely important to protect and plant to help protect the land during natural processes of erosion.

Sand is constantly moving, she says.

The dunes are built up by winds blowing sand inland and that sand needs to be captured by grasses so that there is something to be taken away again during storms rather than waves eroding the land.

About 1200 plants will be planted by volunteers at Ruapuke on Saturday as part of the Waikato Beachcare programme that has been running for over 20 years.

Every year the Waikato Regional Council, which partners with Waikato District Council to restore coastal reserves in the Raglan and Ruapuke area, provides over 50,000 coastal plants for coastal communities.

Stacey says the work relies on volunteer support and she is always looking for more people to help get the plants in the ground.

“The more the merrier.

“It’s a really cool thing to do as a family.

It’s not hard digging in the sand.”

Fourteen students from Te Uku School planted 1420 plants at Te Kopua Domain on July 6.

Stacey says the children planted 800 spinifex grasses on the foredune near the sports field, while the rest – a mix of coastal shrub species such as toe toe, flax, taupata and mahoe – were planted on the backdune area, creating a native habitat for birds and other species.

"The students were amazing! They just got stuck into the planting which was lucky as we just managed to get all the plants in the ground before a thunderstorm hit. It's so cool that these kids will be able to come back with their kids one day and show them the amazing work they did to restore this area."

Anyone keen to help with planting the foredune on the north end of Ruapuke beach can contact Stacey Hill at Stacehill@ gmail.com or turn up at the day at the car park, ready to start at 10am. Bring a spade if you have one.

Residents cry foul over black water Animal Health Column running from taps For Raglan People + their Pets

lack water running from the pipes of some Raglan properties last week stirred up residents, with some ready to revolt against water issues by not paying their first metered water bills.

to residents.

However, “it’s not contaminated water, it’s not toxic”, she says, and while running taps for 20 minutes "seems unnatural now that there is a charge on water" it will cost less than a dollar.

People are happy to pay more than $3 for a bottle of water from the shop, she says.

Waikato District Council service delivery manager Tim Harty says there will be no compensation for the running of the taps because it is only a minor cost, “in the region of 60 cents” for 20 minutes.

The council received 23 complaints regarding black water in Raglan from properties in Bow St, Simon Rd, Cross St, Upper Cross St, Gilmore St, Violet St, Manukau Rd, Point St, Park Drive, Cambrae Rd, Sea Breeze Way and Lorenzen Bay. He says the black water was a one-off issue resulting from iron, manganese and polyethylene being stirred up in the network during the pipe repair. The sediment exists in all the water in very low concentration but settles in the network.

“The reported smell is very low concentrations of isopropyl alcohol used to clean the pipes before repair – it is also safe.

“We understand that the black water would have caused concern to those affected but there should have

A water main repair in Bow St on Tuesday resulted in stinky, black water running from some taps in 12 Raglan streets, with Raglan Ward councillor Lisa Thomson posting on the Raglan Notice Board Facebook page that those affected should run their taps for 20 minutes to flush the water through.

Residents cried foul at being told to run their taps due to council “ineptitude”, considering council had started charging for water use from July 1.

There were also concerns relating to costs of having concentrations of a black, sandy-like residue in toilet cisterns, hot water cylinders and appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines and kettles.

Complaints on social media about Raglan’s water supply in the past month has included cloudy water and fluctuations in pressure allegedly causing burst pipes, blown valves and leaks.

Ms Thomson says she completely understands that “yucky stuff coming out of your taps” will cause distress

been very little residual effect on appliances, if any. It is inert – it won’t chemically react with surfaces or pipes as it is an extremely low volume.

We will be dealing with associated complaints on an individual basis.”

Tests carried out at the time confirmed that the water was safe to drink and complied with drinking water standards.

The council hashad no service requests concerning water leaks from high pressure in Raglan, and cloudy water is more often than not the result of dissolved air emerging as bubbles from taps” – if left to stand it should clear quickly.

Anyone with concerns should contact the council.

All water meters in Raglan were read between July 3 and 7 to provide start readings for water bills.

WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK

reastfeeding rates in New Zealand are increasing slowly, according to Plunket data released during World Breastfeeding Week (August 1-7).

Plunket says in 2015 and in 2016, 87.5 percent of babies aged between 2 and 6 weeks received breast milk, a figure 1.5 percent higher than in 2013 and 2014.

Plunket is encouraged that the numbers are stable and continuing to increase slowly. However, the statistics also show the rate of any breastfeeding at 12 weeks is consistently lower than the rate at 6 weeks. In 2016, 78 percent of babies aged 12 weeks received some breast milk.

The rate of babies at 12 weeks fed breast milk only are increasingly slowly year-on-year, but are also consistently around 10 percent lower than the rate at 6 weeks. Plunket says it would like to see more steps forward from the whole community to create a society that supports breastfeeding.

“We're encouraged that overall the breastfeeding rates are steadily increasing, and we are always aiming to support more mums to breastfeed. Breastfeeding helps protect your baby against colds, tummy bugs, infections and allergies, as well as helping your baby feel safe and

secure. The high proportion of mums breastfeeding when their babies are very young is great, as this helps give their baby the best start in life,” says Karen Magrath, Plunket National Well Child Advisor.

“Babies and mums get the greatest benefits from breastfeeding when babies are fed breast milk exclusively for the first six months of life, and we would like to see those high rates in the first weeks sustained for longer.”

She says more support for mums to continue to breastfeed can make a difference: “Some degree of decline is to be expected. However the high rates initially indicate mums want to breastfeed but stop because of barriers and challenges they experience, particularly when they return to work. We congratulate the Government for moving to extend parental leave from 16 to 18 weeks, and legislation around support of breastfeeding in the workplace. These are important steps in the right direction.

The evidence indicates that we need to go further - extending paid parental leave to 26 weeks is linked to mums breastfeeding for longer.”

She said other challenges for working breastfeeding mothers include working at night, manual occupations, access to

childcare close to their workplace, and a lack of support in workplace.

Plunket says the health benefits of breastfeeding are so significant that greater investment in support services to help mums breastfeed would be a significant investment in improving children’s health outcomes.

“Breastfeeding is a skill that requires learning for both mother and baby. There is support available for mums, such as PlunketLine (0800 933 922) available 24 hours, seven days a week. Mums can get in touch with La Leche, their local Plunket nurse or visit a Plunket family centre, where staff and other mums can offer support and information in a friendly and relaxed environment. Along with direct support, it’s also about creating a supportive environment, which is why the Baby Friendly Community Initiative, led by New Zealand Breastfeeding Alliance, and the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative are so important.”

The Mental and Nutrition Research Group in Psychology Department at the University of Canterbury has been investigating the link between micronutrients and mental health, and has stacked up a pile of research to demonstrate the benefits in children and adults. It found symptoms of anxiety improved when they were supplemented with specialist formulations of micronutrients.

What are micronutrients? As opposed to macronutrients carbohydrates, protein and fats, micronutrients are the regular vitamins and minerals that the body needs in trace amounts: B-complex vitamins, selenium, iodine, zinc, magnesium, iron, copper etc. The World Health Organisation

RAGLAN RAGLAN Chronicle Chronicle 7 7

News from West Coast Health Clinic After hours medical services explained Why is there no doctor available in Raglan on the weekends?

Our funding allows us to provide services 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday for a significantly reduced price for our registered patients compared to most medical clinics, $18 versus $45-$75. There is no additional funding to provide services out of these hours. In recent years, we started providing early morning appointments and extended evening clinics to provide better access for our community, particularly for those people working in Hamilton and beyond which we provide at the reduced price despite the restrictions in our funding.

What after-hours services are available in the Raglan area?

We offer extended hours - 8am to 7pm Monday to Thursday and 8am

PRIME Update:

to 5pm on Fridays. We also provide a 24 hour, 7 day a week service to patients requiring palliative care and for patients at the Raglan Hospital & Rest Home.

Our doctors also work at Anglesea Clinic on the weekends on a rostered basis. You will find one of us there approximately every 2nd weekend, more often on long weekends and public holidays.

After hours telephone advice is available by ringing Anglesea Clinic (8580800) or Healthline (0800611116) Waikato District Health have a free online after hours service called Smarthealth - https://www. waikatodhb.health.nz/for-patientsand-visitors/smarthealth/onlineout-of-hours-doctors/ Why do we work at Anglesea Clinic?

To see a local doctor on the weekend I am prepared to pay the same charge as at Anglesea Clinic. So why is this service not available?

There is not enough demand – for example in the month ending June 2017 only nine of our patients were seen at Anglesea or Victoria Street Clinics. It is not viable to be open on the weekends for such low numbers.

Surely the community would use your service more often if it were available on the weekend?

We operated Saturday morning clinics until 2008, our experience

Please ring 8250114 and select option 1 to make an appointment.

Every effort will be made to accommodate your preferred time. Emergencies will always be given priority and our reception staff will attempt to contact you if there is any unforeseen delay or your GP has been called away.

Longer consultation times are available at an additional cost so please ask the receptionist if you require extra time.

Sometimes patients will query why they can’t get through to us when they call or ask if our telephone system is faulty. While we generally have two receptionists covering the front desk at any one time, the reason we can’t take your call is due to the high number of calls coming through at the same time. Your patience is appreciated and please continue to call.

- Finalists have been announced for the 2017 Waipa Business Awards, which include Raglan Rock for Excellence in Small Business and Xtreme Zero Waste for Excellence in Large Business and Sustainability and Community Contribution. Finalists for the remaining categories will be announced later this week. The Waipa Business Awards provides an opportunity for businesses throughout Te Awamutu, Cambridge and Raglan to highlight their achievements and gain valuable feedback from an established panel of judges. Winners will be announced at the Waipa Business Awards Gala Evening on 18 August at Mystery Creek. Tickets are now available at waipabusinessawards.co.nz./shop.

- The Raglan Chamber held their Annual General Meeting last Friday at Rock-it Kitchen. The Chamber bid farewell to longtime Board Member and past Chairwoman, Stephanie Philp of Metamorphosis, who has been involved in the Chamber since its inception.

Frida Kabo, a new resident to Raglan and a trained leadership coach joined the Board and brings new perspective and insight to the team. Co-Chairs Hayley Willers and Morgan Morris are looking forward to another productive year and will be focusing on strengthening Chamber membership through various networking and outreach opportunities.

- Changes have been announced that will affect the Essential Skills work visa. The changes are designed to continue to enable employers to employ temporary migrant workers where there are genuine shortages while ensuring that lower-skilled migrants are clear about their future prospects in New Zealand. The changes will be introduced on 28 August and include: • The introduction of remuneration bands to assess the skill level of roles offered to Essential Skills visa applicants • The introduction of a maximum duration of three years for lower-skilled Essential Skills visa holders, after which they will need to spend 12 months outside New Zealand before they can be granted an Essential Skills visa to work in another lower-skilled role, and • Requiring the partners and children of lower-skilled Essential Skills visa holders to meet the requirements for a visa in their own right (they will still have access to short-term visitor visas).

- Local organisations and businesses have come together to create the Whaingaroa-Raglan Destination Management Organisation. As the visitor numbers continue to rise each year, the Organisation will outline and implement strategies that will help to manage the growth and keep the values of the community at its core. These strategies will be inspired by the original Raglan Naturally Community Plan. The Raglan Naturally community values will be referenced through aspects of operating and marketing in all aspects. The DMO will align the messages being shared and work to highlight and communicate Raglan as the environmentally friendly town to visit.
