Beach cleanup of plastic fantastic

A group of volunteers audit the rubbish they collected during Sunday's beach cleanup effort.

he 298 plastic bottle tops, 190 plastic bottles, 100 glass bottles, 87 shotgun casings and 68 shoes picked up off the coast north of the harbour entrance is just a drop in the ocean compared to what rubbish is floating in our seas, says the organiser of Sunday’s beach cleanup.

The amount of rubbish – particularly plastic – in our oceans “is pretty horrendous”, says Whaingaroa Environment Centre coordinator Stacey Hill, who arranged the beach cleanup as part of international Plastic Free July.

The giant trailer-load of rubbish collected by volunteers “would only have been a fraction of the rubbish out there”, with scientists predicting that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the sea.

Stacey says all the rubbish found on the remote beach would have travelled there by ocean currents, not have been left by daytrippers.

She hopes to make the beach cleanup between the harbour entrance and Mussel Rock a regular event to keep taking more plastic out of the natural environment. “Every beach cleanup does make a difference.”

Twenty-seven people and three dogs spent a few hours collecting the rubbish, getting across the harbour on kayaks and standup boards supplied by Raglan BackPackers and Raglan Kayak & Paddleboard, and by boat with Raglan Boat Charters.

An audit of the rubbish then took another couple of hours, with all materials recycled by Xtreme Zero Waste.

Also among the spoils were about 40 litres of rope and 120 litres of broken-up plastic, such as plastic bags.

One volunteer even found some treasure – a watch in perfect working order.

Volunteer Bexie Towle says there was a lot more rubbish than she thought there would have been.

She says rather than a beach cleanup, the real solution to remove plastic from our oceans is in choosing what you buy, and “if you do take plastic to the beach make sure you take it home with you”.

As part of Plastic Free July, the Whaingaroa Environment Centre is also holding a community information evening called Unwrapping Our Plastic Habit at Orca Restaurant and Bar tonight at 6.30pm, with guest speakers.

On July 28, there will be a demonstration workshop on how to make your own cleaning products and moisturisers/lip balms at the Town Hall Supper Room from 12pm-4pm.

Some Raglan cafes are supporting Plastic Free July with discounts on takeaway coffees for supplying your own cup.

Community asked to help give petrel a fighting chance

The grey-faced petrel, or oi, have active burrows around the Raglan coastline.

W

ith the breeding season of the greyfaced petrel starting, the Kairoi Maunga project is asking residents around the coast to trap predators in their backyard, keep cats inside at night, and for people to keep their dogs on leads in coastal reserves.

Karioi Maunga project coordinator Kristel van Houte says there are about 10 known active burrows of the seabirds – also called oi – on the Raglan coastline that are being monitored by staff of the community-led conservation project.

The project was set up in 2009 to restore the unique coastal forest and its native birdlife, particularly the oi that used to breed in the thousands every year on

Karioi before people arrived.

Now the native seabird is on the “edge of disappearing altogether”, says Kristel.

“It’s hanging on by a thread and we are doing all we can to protect these birds.”

That includes surrounding known burrows with traps, putting up cameras at the burrow sites to monitor activity, and physically checking up on the birds every week.

Oi chicks are extremely susceptible to predators because they can be left alone on the nest for up to two weeks at a time while their parents go out to sea to look for food.

July is the known season for nesting, and Kristel says a keen eye is being kept on the burrows to see if any eggs will be laid.

07 870 1005 Kuriger.Teawamutu@parliament.govt.nz 25 Roche Street, Te Awamutu

Young birds will return to where they were raised to nest after spending about six to seven years at sea.

Everyone in the community can do their bit to help oi and improve biodiversity on Karioi, Kristel says.

“We are asking landowners to trap in their own back yard, keep dogs on a leash in coastal reserves, and keep cats in at night.”

The aim is to trap all the coastal area between Riria Kereopa Drive to Te Toto Gorge.

Kristel says an example of community support is a group of residents living near Indicators that have all set up traps and been trained in their use, contributing to an added 10 kilometres of stoat and rat control around the mountain in the past year.

Neighbours on Hills road have also started a trapping programme.

Altogether, the Karioi Maunga project has more than 850 traps checked by more than 40 regular volunteers on 2300 hectares of conservation, Maori and private land, and more than 50 families participating in the project’s Backyard Hub. “It’s so cool to see the enthusiasm that people have. There is real potential for Raglan to become predator free.”

Margery and Jennifer at Word Cafe with their latest title.

F

our Purple Dragonfly first-place awards for four children’s books – it’s the kind

of success local illustrator Margery Fern and her author sister, Jennifer Somervell, never dreamt of when starting out on their Tales from the Farm series four years ago.

And they say how inspiring literary events like Raglan’s biennial readers and writers festival can be to a fledgling team like themselves.

The pair had just published their first book “with much trepidation” back in 2013 when the inaugural Word Cafe was staged at the Old School in Stewart Street.

“It was significant for us – we lapped up all the ideas and enthusiasm,” Jennifer recalls.

“Now here we are four years later with four books.”

When they attended this month’s Word Cafe in the town hall they’d just had news

of another Purple Dragonfly win for their latest title, ‘A Very Greedy Tale’.

Published last year, the story is about two errant pet pigs from the sisters’ childhood in the 70s on the family farm in Hawke’s Bay. It won in the animals/pets category of the US-based awards recognising excellence in children’s literature, also picking up a second place in interior design and honourable mentions in best cover design and picture books (6 and older).

“We were delighted,” says Margery, whose graphic designer daughter, Ezra Andre, pulls text and drawings together.

Margery trials the tales on her pupils at Waitetuna School, where she is principal, while Canterbury-based Jennifer travels around schools trying out the books and enticing children into some dramatic roleplay.

She wasn’t sure if city children would be interested in their childhood farm stories but was proved wrong. “They loved the drama of the Greedy Tale and were hooked into learning about pigs and electric fences.

And ‘The Day Dad Blew Up the Cowshed’ amazed them – they couldn’t believe it happened!”

The cowshed story and ‘The New Old Truck’ have been reprinted three times, and ‘The Eel Hunt’ is getting low in stock.

Buoyed by their success, the pair are now working on a fifth book which has something to do with “a very stinky leg”.

Edith Symes *‘The Day Dad Blew Up the Cowshed’, ‘The New Old Truck’, ‘The Eel Hunt’ and ‘A Very Greedy Tale’ are available from Zinnia and Atamira in Raglan. Or buy online at www.talesfromthefarm.co.nz.

School fundraiser takes new heights with wind farm trail run

Raglan, PoihakenaMar ea 216WainuiRd,Raglan

T

here are three mad women behind Waitetuna School PTA’s end-of-year fundraiser – a trail run that goes through the Te Uku Wind Farm.

PTA chairperson and teacher Jess Otton says no, she’s not one of them – she’s more

4 RAGLAN Chronicle

the type who prefers to man a “sausage team”, and she’s certainly no keen runner.

Waitetuna PTA mums Amy Bateman, Mady Rix-Trott and Lizzie Brown are the mad keen trail runners and the brains behind the 21km trail run that will take like-minded enthusiasts along some of the 28 turbines that make up the wind farm.

“No, we’re not going to have a big school fundraiser this year,” laughs Jess, at the huge undertaking that is already gathering momentum with the creation of websites, finishers’ medals and the seeking of sponsorship to keep costs down.

“Oh well, I will be all right! I don’t have to run it!”

Amy, who works as a police officer in Hamilton, says her, Mady and Lizzie have all done a “bit of trail running” and competed in their first trail marathon last year in Rotorua.

In order to the get some kilometres under their belts for the Tarawera Trail Marathon they got to know the wind farm area quite well, regularly traversing the Wharauroa Plateau as part of their training.

“We thought it was a good concept (for a fundraiser),” says Amy, who has always been quite “fascinated by the wind farm” and how the giant 49-metre-long blades were trucked one by one over the divvy.

The women were in awe of the “incredible power and size” of the turbines and thought others would enjoy the experience too.

“Up there, it’s amazing. You can see the Raglan Harbour, the bar, and you also have views of Mt Pirongia and Karioi, it’s pretty impressive all right.

“When you get to the top its 360, let’s hope for an amazing day. I’ve been up there before in a whiteout and it can be quite cold and miserable.”

The Waitetuna Wind Farm Trail Run will cater for all fitness levels, with three distances – 21km, 10km and 5km – to compete in for the event. Regardless of experience there will be a trail for everyone, young and old.

“It’s a bit of everything,” says Amy, who mapped out the 21km course with Mady and Julie Ormond, who is also on the PTA. “My little boy, he is 7, will do the 5km with Dad.” The 5km and 10km trails can be ran or walked, and are about participation.

“Because we are a PTA we want to attract kids to come out and do it and have a real community feel to the event. We’ll have that on the finish line – get entertainment and have a good vibe.

“The 21km, through the mapping, is pretty gnarly. It will be hard. The elevations are pretty steep in places, more for your trail

runner. It will be really important to put in the preparation or you are not going to enjoy it.”

The course includes river crossings and bush track and farm track through the private property of Hamish and Julie Ormond.

“They’re really excited to be involved.”

The inaugural event will be held on Saturday, November 25, two weeks before the 24km Raglan Karioi Trail that traverses the mountain twice.

Amy, who competed in the 10km version of the Raglan Karioi Trail last year, says she sees the wind farm race as a “step up” to the mountain race.

“My experience with Karioi is it is very hard.”

The wind farm 21km trail will have a few really wicked hills in it but the women don’t imagine it will be as hard as running up Mt Karioi twice.

It is hoped that the Waitetuna Wind Farm Trail Run will become a yearly event, with the fundraiser this year going towards the school pool and resurfacing the courts and outdoor areas.

Upcoming art exhibition at museum a Rhodes gallery of local landmarks A

n exhibition of local landmarks through the eyes of longtime artist about town Jenny Rhodes is set to open at Raglan & District Museum in September.

Spanning 50-odd years, it will include works as diverse as the early gardens of Kaiwhenua Organics beyond Whale Bay and the old concrete bunker or pillbox on the beach backing Kopua campground.

Also featured will be one of Jenny’s earliest works, Raglan’s old post office building on the corner of Bow and Wi Neera streets, where the library/council offices now stand.

Jenny lived as a youngster in the quarters above the ground-floor post office as her father, Bert Rhodes, was Raglan’s postmaster from 1944 through until his retirement in 1957.

As local historian R T (Bob) Vernon recorded in his often-consulted book on Raglan, the building served the district for 64 years in all before being pulled down in 1978.

“A pity as it was quite a landmark in the town,” he wrote in his history, the last of a series providing an invaluable record of the Raglan district.

Museum president Ken Soanes also regrets how downtown buildings like the brick and plaster post office – built so as not to burn down like two of its predecessors – have been “devastated”.

And photos are rare, he adds, making Jenny’s paintings “historically important”.

The museum posted last month on its Facebook page that it was looking to borrow Jenny’s original paintings from any residents who might have them for inclusion in the exhibition, which will be entitled ‘Landmarks of Whaingaroa’ and run through until the end of the year.

“People are pleased to be part of the exhibition,” Ken explains of the paintings now being collected.

He’s excited too at other upcoming museum displays, including an exhibition early next year on influential Maori chief Wiremu Neera who befriended the missionaries in Raglan around the mid-1830s.

Local iwi today have more artefacts to contribute, he says, including a significant four-and-a-half metre carving which will

Three of Jenny Rhodes' grandchildren -- from left Mahli Gavin-Brightwell, Sequoia Gavin-McCabe and Janu Gavin-Brightwell -- show off her bunker painting while daughter Bernadette and son Dominic Gavin hold the elephant rock painting in which they feature as children and another daughter, Anastasia Gavin, displays Jenny's depiction of the brick and plaster post office building.

come to Raglan museum from Tainui just as soon as its refurbishment is finished. Ancient paddles, dug up at Ruapuke and now in storage, will also go on show as part of the exhibition.

A lot of other memorabilia – from Egyptian pendants and an arrowhead to drums and kilts from Raglan Caledonian Highland Pipe Band – is still in storage, Ken adds, and will make for fascinating exhibitions in years to come.

“But we’re not going forward fast enough really,” he laments. The committee is now looking to attract new members and volunteers to the museum who are able to lift and shift displays around, help with building maintenance and alterations and generally

contribute to the myriad odd jobs to be done behind the scenes.

“The more people get involved the more knowledge comes into the community,” he says. “We need an injection of able people.”

Some longtime committee members are ageing and moving away too, like Eileen Beach Kelly who now lives in Hamilton.

Her contribution continues, though, in a very personal way: she has just published a history on her family’s pioneering days on the slopes of Karioi, and funds from the sale of the book will go directly to the museum.

Entitled ‘Life and Times - The Beachs of Karioi’, the book looks at how her family came in the early 1900s from the elegant

Spotlight: Junior rugby12th grade team They are a team who has earned much respect from all clubs, particularly our much bigger Hamilton clubs. In their first season of full field competition last year they placed third in a very competitive 11th grade A pool.

This season they are in the 12th grade A pool and with one more round robin game currently sitting in fourth place. On top of that the team recently took out the 12th grade division of the annual Alex Henry Memorial 10 aside tournament.

Contested by all Hamilton clubs this was a fantastic result and sent a warning to all 12th grade championship hopefuls. As a measure of this team's quality we currently have 16 of our 20 strong squad playing rep rugby across the two Hamilton rep divisions, under 45kg and under 57kg.

Search and Rescue, Te Toto Gorge Track

T

he Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter was dispatched shortly after midnight on Monday to the Te Toto Gorge track, on the seaward face of Mt Kariori, located to the south of Raglan.

A 40-year-old male had been reported missing, since Sunday, and his vehicle had been located in the parking lot of the popular hiking trail. A search had been carried out on foot to no avail.

A search operation was initiated and the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter located the man quickly after initiating the aerial search. The helicopter team utilised night vision googles in the search.

He had apparently slipped off the track and fallen down a cliff, from where he unable to climb back up.

He was initially taken to the Raglan Police station, where he was treated for hypothermia and several cuts and scrapes.

He was then flown by the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter to Waikato Hospital for further assessment.

his past weekend was my best friend’s birthday.

My best friend is a self-taught carpenter with a knack for taking things apart and rebuilding them to suit.

She has a mild obsession with remodelling people’s bedrooms, kitchens or entire houses.

This obsession has taken her to Los Angeles where she works as a prop assistant and set designer for movies and TV shows.

Working in film inspired her to start writing her own movie script and she recently finished her first draft. She has an impeccable sense of humour and the loudest laugh I have ever heard.

Two years ago, she decided to start playing the saxophone, so she borrowed a friend’s sax and enrolled herself in lessons. In her free-time she sits on her porch and plays ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ for the world outside.

And those are only a few of the things that make my best friend so great.

So why am I telling you about my best friend?

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work alongside many different types of small business owners. One thing I have noticed is how difficult some find it to talk about their

accomplishments as a business, because their invisible 'humble hat' often gets in the way.

So, I like to encourage people to talk about their business the way they might talk about their best friend.

When it comes to your best friend (aka your business), what do you tell people? Why is that your best friend? What does your best friend do? What do they give to the community around them? What motivates them to continue to grow?

This story of your ‘best friend’ is your business story, the narrative of who you are, what you have accomplished and what you want to accomplish.

The Chronicle provides the opportunity for this story to be shared with Chronicle Advertorials.

Chronicle Advertorials give businesses the chance to highlight themselves through a short write-up or a Q&A. Share your most recent successes, new services or products, or changes to staff.

Whether you have been in business for six months or 60 years, occasionally featuring your business in the Chronicle can expand your potential customer base to both print readers and those connected online.

Keeping the community in the know about your business can strengthen the community support you get in return.

We share Chronicle Advertorials in one weekly edition of the paper and online via raglanchronicle.co.nz to ensure they reach both our print and online audiences.

Although it seems like the internet rules all these days, believe it or not there are quite a few residents who do not have a computer or just don’t spend all their time on Facebook, yet they are still looking for local services.

We’d love to help you discover and share your own story, so let’s become best friends.

Pop by the Chronicle to find out more about advertorials or give us a buzz on 07 825 7076.

If you are a local artist and expect to have new work available by January, there are two ways you can take part: 1) Exhibit from your studio, workshop or home.

2) Exhibit from an inside space at the Old School Arts Centre (only four spaces available, so register early if you would like to secure one of these slots).

To give participating artists even more exposure, the 2017 event included a successful exhibition held at the Old School which ran for six weeks over the busy summer period leading up to the Raglan Arts Weekend.

If you’d like to be listed as an artist in the Raglan Arts Guide for 2018 and be a part of Raglan Arts Weekend 2018, contact the Old School at info@ raglanartscentre.co.nz, or call 07 825 0023.

Full registration is $150 - but sign up before July 31 2017 and receive a special early bird rate of $130. All registrations must be received by August 31.

As well as the weekend event, artists registering will be included within the new 2018 Raglan Arts Trail Guide, which will be launched December 1 of 2017.

Running every year since 2009, this well-organised weekend is a much-anticipated fixture on the Raglan summer calendar and a wonderful opportunity to show your work to a wide and appreciative audience. The event is marketed extensively throughout the North Island and draws hundreds of arts lovers from both the local and wider area, many of whom book the weekend into their diaries many months in advance.

Artists who took part in the 2017 event reported that as well as helping them sell their work, the weekend enabled them to gain valuable feedback from art lovers and offered numerous
