Karioi Rangers take Canadian TV crew off the beaten path

BARBARA KURIGER

MP FOR TARANAKI-KING COUNTRY ELECTORATE OFFICE CONTACT: P: 07 870 1005 E: Kuriger.Teawamutu@parliament.govt.nz A: 25 Roche Street, Te Awamutu www.barbarakuriger.co.nz

The crew from television production company Ocean Television in the process of filming the kids from Karioi Rangers.

he conservation and environmental skills of Raglan children have reached across the world, with kids who take part in the Karioi Rangers programme featuring in a Canadian documentary series.

Television production company Ocean Television was in Raglan on April 18 filming part of its 13-episode Partir Autrement en Famille (Off the Beaten Path with Family), a series that explores responsible tourism by talking to the locals who respect the destination community and environment they live in.

Karioi Rangers organiser Kristel Van Houte says the film crew spent a couple of hours with the children – Taylor and Cassidy Hanna, Zara Beeby and William Millward – who “didn’t miss a beat” in showing off their skills in rat and stoat trapping and a building fire at Bryant Reserve and the beach.

“It was really cool seeing how mature and capable they were,” says Kristel, who has been running the Karioi Kids/Rangers programme for six years.

“They have the camera right in their face and Taylor is setting the trap.

“William was telling how he caught two possums that morning in leg traps, and then plucked them.”

Kristel says the television production company got in touch with her after being referred by a Canadian marine biologist, Nate Glickman, who had worked as an intern on the Karioi Kids/Rangers programme.

For every different destination featured in the documentary, a new host is brought along with family members as special guests.

In Raglan they were actress Sylvie Léonard and her daughter, Camille.

“They were super-nice. It was a nice opportunity for the kids.”

The film crew also spent time in Rotorua and Tauranga, and while in Raglan also visited Xtreme Waste and Solscape among other activities.

Taylor Hanna, 9, who was a Karioi Kid before becoming a Ranger, says it was cool being filmed knowing that they are going to be on TV in Canada.

“I had to set the rat trap and show the cameraman what I was doing, and talk about it.”

Cassidy, 11, who has been involved in Karioi Rangers for about a year, says it’s “weird” knowing that they will be on TV in Canada.

“We had to walk up and down the hill a couple of times so the camera guy could film things over again.

“I don’t know if we’ll get to see it, but lots of strangers will see us on TV in another country!”

Zara Beeby, 11, says the filming experience was fun.

“I liked being filmed during fire lighting with the flint and steel because it’s a skill I’ve mastered in Karioi Rangers and it’s pretty cool.”

The Karioi Kids/Rangers programme equips students aged 7-13 to become independent and skilled volunteers in the Karioi Maunga ki te Moana project – to restore biodiversity from the mountain to the sea – and a wide range of conservation activities.

Kristel says the after-school programme has been running for over six years and there are students who have participated for four years.

In term one this year a record number of 67 students participated, with activities such as harbour floats, surfing, canyoning and sleeping in self-made bush huts on Mt Karioi all being part of the learning experience.

Partir Autrement en Famille will broadcast on TV5 Canada in January 2018.

Rest Home resident couldn’t quite make it to Tuesday’s remembrance service downtown.

Eric’s “struggling” with ill health at the moment, says son Denis, and so was unable to get to the ceremony as planned.

Denis and his wife Jennie retired to Raglan from Auckland last Labour Weekend, moving Eric down to the local rest home in Manukau Rd soon after.

But while in taking up residence here Eric’s become almost certainly Raglan’s oldest surviving war veteran, his family say it’s only in the past few years that he’s openly acknowledged his active service in World War II. War service was something that just wasn’t talked about among the war vets – or their families – at his previous rest home in Auckland, they add.

That all changed when Jennie found Eric’s medals and other war memorabilia then encouraged him to participate in his local St Heliers Anzac Day parades.

“He couldn’t believe the acknowledgement of the (many) young people at his first parade four years ago,” she says. “And he was amazed at the army presence there.”

She and Denis had hoped Eric could experience something similar downtown in Raglan on Anzac Day, having themselves been to services here over the years while visiting Jennie’s brother, former Games chef de mission Dave Currie.

But with Eric’s health failing it’s now looking like that’s never to be.

As a volunteer worker at Trade Aid, however, Jennie has been able to include in the shop’s current window display downtown some of her father-in-law’s war photos taken in Egypt where he served for four years before a knee injury sent him home.

Also displayed are personal documents including his soldier’s pay book and certificate of discharge.

Eric enlisted for the New Zealand army at the age of 21 and trained for six months before leaving on a ship from Wellington.

In Egypt he served in the transport division, driving trucks delivering supplies and also doing guard duty.

After the war he had a successful working life in Auckland, Denis remembers, as a furrier and manager of the Queen Streetbased Imperial Fur Company for 40 years.

He travelled all over the country showing his ranges of fur capes, stoles, jackets and coats at major department stores of the time.

Eric was happily married for 68 years and is the oldest person in New Zealand’s orthodox Jewish community. He received an award for his involvement in the community from the Governor General a decade ago.

Frank earns award for being on fire with community contribution

Mayor Allan Sanson (right) presents the award to Frank Turner.

F

NaNuMuaMiHaiHeraeMr aMi ai Al AWeWlceolmcoeme

rank Turner has been recognised for the flaming good contribution he has made to the Raglan community – but he intends to do more.

The 63-year-old car spray painter was last week presented with a Mayoral Community Award for 41 years of service to the Raglan Volunteer Fire Brigade, along with commitments to rugby and being a community representative on the Raglan Coastal Reserve Advisory Committee.

Frank, who is already Raglan’s longest serving volunteer firefighter, the deputy fire chief

4 RAGLAN Chronicle

and the treasurer for 30 years, reckons he’s going to do 50 years of service with the brigade.

“If I live that long,” he laughs, amid the toxic fumes of a recent spray paint job in his workshop in Wainui Rd. On Thursday last week, Frank was one of 12 recipients who were honoured by Mayor Allan Sanson at Waikato District Council chambers in Ngaruawahia for their significant contribution to the community and the vitality of the Waikato.

He reckons he didn’t know anything about it until “I got the mayor’s letter”, but gathered up the family to support him.

“I just bloody sat up there and they read out what you have done and the mayor gave you the bit of wood,” says Frank, in his usual understated manner.

“No! Shit no,” he says, when asked if he thinks he is deserving of the “piece of wood”.

Why not? A pause. “I don’t want to blow my own trumpet!”

Frank, who was born and bred in the district – born in Te Mata, went to Raglan high school – started as a fire cadet in 1975 as a 22-year-old.

He was working with panel beater Denny Robertson, who at the time was a volunteer and would shoot away whenever there was a call.

“He said ‘do you want to join?’ (And I said:) ‘Might as well, you are going!’”

Frank’s still enjoying it four decades later but admits he might not race as fast as he used to.

No, not because he’s old – being 4 kilometres out of town means he’s hard pressed to make the first fire truck.

He’s done loads of jobs, and is reluctant to speak about anything amazing he may have done.

“Had a boy save my life,” he finally offers. It was at a house fire in Cogswell Rd. “He tapped me on the shoulder and as I turned around this beam dropped down beside me.

“I would have been killed,” says Frank, who remembers it like it was yesterday but it was probably more like “20-odd years ago”.

“I’m still here to tell the tale,” he says, even though that tale is being dragged out of him.

Things have changed a lot since the old days in the volunteer brigade.

Putting out fires is still the same, but “I’m not allowed to rock up to a fire call in my shorts and jandals any more. It doesn’t look very professional and it’s not very safe”.

The brigade now gets a lot more callouts too.

“Those days if you got 20 calls in a year we were probably boasting. Now we get between 100 and 120 callouts. It’s ambulance and the all the medical stuff. There are far more motor vehicle accidents on the roads nowadays… more cars on the road.”

Frank is a life member of the Raglan Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Raglan Rugby Club.

He started coaching and refereeing the Raglan junior boys when his boys – Reece and Bryce – were playing, and moved up the grades with them.

Frank’s been president of Raglan junior and senior rugby, and has put in 25 years as a Waikato Rugby referee, all over the district.

He didn’t play much himself, he says. He got injured during his school years. “Wrecked my neck.”

Today, he can still be seen out on the paddock on Saturday mornings, refereeing Raglan’s juniors.

But unlike the firefighting, he’s on the “wind down” with the rugby, he reckons.

The Herbal Dispensary: Boost your immune system

A

s the mornings and evenings are starting to cool and the days get noticeably shorter, there is an obvious increase in the amount of people coming in to the store with lowered immunity.

Lowered immunity often presents itself in the form of sore throats, colds, and flus. There are a number of factors that can contribute to decreased resistance to these infections and there are a number

of preventative measures that you can take to increase resistance.

Stress, nutrient deficiencies, poor lifestyle choices, extreme exercise, age, obesity, poor sleep and diet can all lead to decreased immunity, causing us to be susceptible to bacteria and viruses that we are exposed to.

To optimise your health and increase your immunity make sure to: • Have 3-5 servings of a variety of fruit and vegetables daily • Eat sufficient amounts of quality lean protein daily • Stay hydrated with water of herbal teas, especially our ImmuniTea, elderflower, echinacea and olive leaf tea.

• Address stress and support yourself with the relevant herbs/nutrients.

• • • •

Take 1000mg of vitamin C daily Take 5 mls of echinacea daily.

Check your zinc status.

Take a multi vitamin to correct nutritional deficiencies • Make sure to spend at least half an hour outside to get enough vitamin D. If you do come down with a cold or flu, come into see us. We have a range of herbal tonics that we have specifically made for sore throats, chesty coughs and blocked noses. For a more personalised prescription, come and speak to one of our qualified medical herbalists.

Localising the love for food!

There are so many benefits to localising our food: • buying local products reduces ‘food miles’ (the amount of fuel to transport food from its source - often hundreds of kilometres) and supports our local producers and the Whaingaroa economy • you can avoid packaging by growing your own food or using reuseable bags and containers when sharing food with neighbours or at Crop Swap events • sharing local food abundance creates community connections and nurtures inter-generational skills sharing such as bottling and brewing. You’ve got to love local!

Get your garden ready for winter

Crop Swap Raglan - sharing the love!

Sunday afternoon saw Raglan’s inaugural Crop Swap meet in the town hall. We were treated to an inspirational presentation and movie viewing by Franziska von Hunerbein of Crop Swap Taranaki.

Franziska has been running crop swaps since 2013, creating a space for people to share their excess homegrown and homemade produce. The movement has now blossomed into 6 regional crop swaps in communities around the mountain.

The premise is simple - people meet, bring what they have, and exchange it for what they need. Everything kitchen or garden related is welcomed. At Raglan’s first Crop Swap we saw lots of fruit (apples, lemons, feijoas, tamarillos), vegetables (cucumbers, pumpkin, spinach, chilis, choko), fresh herbs, flowers, seedlings, jams, olives, kombucha, herbal tea, worm wee, and empty bottles.

Food composting at Xtreme

As we saw what others had brought, we all realised what else we could have found to share. How about baking, seeds, preserves – the list is endless! There is a joy in sharing your abundance – seeing someone excited to have what you have too much of. I think everyone in the room left feeling that they were taking away more than they had come with.

There was a lot of excitement for making Crop Swap Raglan a regular event. Plans are taking shape, and we will likely run another event within the next month. Keep an eye on Whaingaroa Environment Centre’s newsletter and Facebook page, as well as the events page in the Chronicle for a time & place.

It’s a great opportunity to meet other backyard gardeners in the community, and share food and knowledge.

All welcome!

At Xtreme Zero Waste we are supporting local food production by making and selling a range of soil fertility enhancing products such as Carbon Compost (available sieved and bagged or bulk), Super Food Compost, Worm Wees and free plant pots. We make the Carbon Compost from garden waste and the Super Food compost from green waste hot composted with food waste from our Food Waste Collection Trial. Since July 2012, 100 Raglan households have been part of a free ‘food waste collection trial’.

A town-wide kerbside food waste collection service is coming to all areas

“Winter is coming” and now’s the time to clean up the last of the summer and autumn crops and get some plants in the ground for winter and spring. If you’re lucky, you might have delicious produce like feijoas, tamarillos, pumpkins and apples to harvest.

Store these in a dry spot or preserve some of the fruit to keep you going through the winter months. You can start planting broad beans, carrots, leeks, onions, silverbeet and brassicas - broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. These hearty veges will be ready for harvest in late winter and will make a great stew or soup!

Don’t forget WEC has a Tool Library full of all the garden tools you might need - forks, spades, hoes and even lopers for pruning! For a $10 deposit and koha toward tool maintenance, you can borrow these tools to help you get your garden sorted! Come down to WEC any Wednesday, Thursday or Friday from 12-4pm to take a look at the Tool Library.

serviced by the recycle collection in July 2017. The average New Zealand household still throws away about 112kg of food waste each year so this collection will divert many tons of this heavy waste from Raglan’s waste stream, process it locally into nutritious compost for gardeners and create more jobs in Raglan. Less food waste in our blue bags means less cost, less smell, less greenhouse gases and less acidic leachate from the landfill.

Food waste collections can actually help reduce food waste at source. The average New Zealand household can waste $500 per year on avoidable food waste. Overseas operators noticed a rapid drop in food waste collected from the pre-collection rates, their client surveys revealed that separation of food waste was showing people how much they were wasting and making them change shopping, food storage and consumption habits.

Home composting is still the best option for households outside of Raglan and the collection area. Many households in the foodwaste collection trial often did home composting and used the collection service . The food waste collection can take things that people might not put in their compost such as citrus, onions etc, or if the compost is full, the worm farm needs a makeover or the house is full of visitors in summer producing twice as much food waste.

RAGLAN Chronicle 7

MAUNGA NATIVE LIFE THRIVING Despite the constant battle with invasive predators that impact native forest and bird life on Mt Karioi, this extinct volcano at Raglan is alive with native flora and fauna.

How has she been able to thrive?

What’s happening in 2017?

It’s down to the dedicated conservation work of landowners, community groups, and kaitiakitanga of local Tainui hapū, with help from the Department of Conservation (DOC) and Waikato Regional Council.

Coordinated large-scale predator control operations are due to get underway. Working together and aligning pest control work in the area, means we can stop the decline in native species and ensure the ecological gains are maintained.

CREATING A SAFE HOME TO ROOST For almost eight years community groups and local hapū have been working many hours each month to maintain an intensive pest management programme on Mt Karioi.

The common goal of iwi, Te Whakaoranga O Karioi, A Rocha Aotearoa NZ and Whaingaroa Environment Centre is to protect a remnant population of the grey-faced petrel, also known as oi, who attempt to nest on the maunga each year.

WAINUI CATCHMENT: NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED! Mana whenua have been employed by DOC to control possums in the Wainui Stream catchment as part of a large-scale control operation this year.

The Wainui catchment, lying adjacent to hapū land on the north eastern face of Mt Karioi, contains significant wai tapu sites and the catchment also feeds into the Raglan Harbour.

The greatest threat to grey-faced petrels is mammalian predators on their breeding grounds, especially stoats, feral cats and rats that take eggs and chicks.

To support the beliefs and values of the local Ngāti Hounuku hapū and community, the 240ha catchment will be treated using ground control methods. This means bait will be placed in bait stations off the ground and 100m apart.

“The focus of the Karioi Maunga ki te Moana project is to bring back a thriving seabird population that was in the past a huge part of the mountain’s ecosystem,” said A Rocha national director and Raglan resident, Kristel van Houte.

Te Iwi Tahi Pest of Ngāti Hounuku are familiar with the extremely difficult and dangerous terrain. They have been contracted and trained by DOC to cut and mark tracks to form a grid for the bait station network across the catchment. This mahi is not for the fainthearted!

“We can increase the chances of successful breeding through predator control and maintaining the habitat. Large scale stoat and feral cat control also means there is a chance to bring back kiwi to Karioi,” she said.

The establishment of the bait station network will not only provide a framework for possum control this winter, the infrastructure will enable community groups to provide ongoing rat and possum control.

Hapū aspirations are for the restoration of the maunga’s health without the use of chemicals.

DOC’s vision is for possum control at this site to double in size to achieve the local hapū and community aspirations of reducing the area in which aerial 1080 methods are used on the maunga.

WORKING TO IMPROVE OUR BIODIVERSITY

PEST CONTROL ON ‘CHALLENGING’ PUBLIC LAND

Waikato Regional Council will be undertaking possum control work on private land around the maunga to allow native flora and fauna to thrive.

The steep landscape on Mt Karioi is challenging, so aerial 1080 will be used on the remaining public conservation land.

Control methods used by the council contractors may include possum trapping and poison in bait stations, to complement pest work by DOC, hapū and community groups in the area and achieve greater biodiversity benefit in the long term.

In deciding on contractors, preference is being given by the council to those that provide a range of control methods to suit the varied needs of landowners and hapū.

In the Karioi South priority possum control area, the council’s aim is to reduce possum numbers to a level that will minimise the adverse impacts of these pests on our native biodiversity.

On the block north of Karioi, mana whenua from Ngāti Hounuku of Tainui will be employed to work with the council contractors to carry out the pest control work.

This is the most effective and economic method DOC is currently able to use. While it targets possums, it also kills rats and stoats which benefits both native vegetation and bird life.

Cereal pellets containing the pesticide, dyed green and lured with a strong cinnamon flavour, will be distributed onto the forest floor using a specialised bucket below a helicopter across 1180ha of the mountain.

Following the operation, monitoring of possum populations will be undertaken and it is anticipated that numbers will reduce from their current high levels to around 3 per cent residual trap catch index (RTCI). This will allow the trees on the mountain to recover and the forest to continue to thrive.

PRECISION TECHNOLOGY Precise GPS technology is used to ensure no bait goes outside the operational area or near any private water takes.

The University of Waikato’s Management School will host New Zealand’s first Tourism Monitoring Observatory, which reports to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO).

The newly established Waikato Tourism Monitoring Observatory officially joined the UNWTO’s International Network for Sustainable Tourism (INSTO) on 11 April, following a one-year application process supported by former Prime Minister John Key, as well as Minister of Tourism Paula Bennett.

Established in 2004, INSTO is a global network of centres that carry out research to support evidence-based management of sustainable tourism at a local level, by monitoring the economic, environmental and social benefits and impacts of tourism activities.

At present, there are 18 observatories operating in China, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Jamaica, Greece, Croatia, Morocco, Indonesia - and now New Zealand joins the list.

Waikato Management School’s tourism and hospitality research cluster was ranked 24th best in the world in the QS World University Subject Rankings 20171, which are based on academic credentials, research citations and employer reputation.

“Tourism is a key growth industry for New Zealand, contributing an estimated $1.28 billion tourist spending in the Waikato region alone each year,” says Professor Chris Ryan of Waikato Management School, who is leading the Waikato observatory’s research programme.

“However, it’s important that we actively manage the pressures that increasing tourist numbers can put on our natural, social and built environments. The Waikato observatory will play an important role in providing robust data for better informed planning and decision-making around tourism in New Zealand.”

The observatory’s five-year research programme will initially focus on the two small towns of Raglan and Waitomo, which attract nearly 400,000 visitors a year. Raglan is world-famous for its left-hand point surf break, while Waitomo is internationally renowned for its spectacular limestone glowworm caves.

“We’ll start by investigating current perceptions by visitors and residents of tourism services in Raglan and Waitomo,” says Professor Ryan. “Then we’ll start to look at how tourism is affecting the local environment through increased demand for vital infrastructure such as roads, carparks, water supply and sewage management.”

Research results will be reported back at regular intervals to the UNWTO and other key stakeholders, including Waikato District Council, Hamilton & Waikato Tourism, and the Raglan and Waitomo chambers of commerce. A series of public meetings will also be organised to gather feedback from the local communities.

“It was the strong sense of community in Raglan that helped us to identify it as the perfect place where we could begin to develop the research techniques necessary for carrying out such a project,” says Professor Ryan.

The United Nations has declared 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development. It aims to promote government policies and business practices that support the UN’s sustainable development goals of reducing poverty and social inequalities, and protecting local environment and cultural heritage.

“Tourism has an important role to play in seeking to achieve these sustainable development goals, as many people in New Zealand and the Waikato region have jobs that depend on wealth created by the tourism sector,” says Professor Ryan.

Professor Ryan is director of the China-New Zealand Tourism Research Unit based at Waikato Management School, and editor of the journals Tourism Management and Tourism Management Perspective.

The other members of the Waikato Tourism Monitoring Observatory are Associate Professor Asad Mohsin, chairperson of the tourism and hospitality research cluster at Waikato Management School, doctoral student Mary Anne Tumanan, and masters students Zhe Chen and Linrui Li.
