Thaisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  memories  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  along  with  those  of  her  brother  Doug  Green  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  of  camping  there  on  Kereopa  whanau  land  stretch  as  far  back  as  toddlerhood  when  she  holidayed  every  year  with  her  family  in  the  very  spot  that,  on  Auckland  Anniversary  Weekend,  was  again  open  to  the  public.   And  Thais  was  delighted  to  meet  once  more  Raglan  resident  Angeline  Greensill  who  was  taking  the  $5  entrance  fee  to  the  car  park  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  a  role  that  was  also  Angelineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  as  a  child  when  she  then  collected  two  shillings  at  the  gate  for  car-­parking  access  to  the  lagoon  and  Indicators.

The  visit  stirred  other  memories  too.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;My  husband  Ian  remembered  Angeline  won  Miss  Raglan  (years  ago),â&#x20AC;?  Thais  told  the  Chronicle  early  this  week.  Angeline  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  daughter  of  the  late  Eva  Rickard  and  niece  to  past  identity  Sam  Kereopa  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  is  a Â

Angeline  extended  the  invitation  to  the  Green  and  Butler  families  to  revisit  the  bay  and  introduce  themselves  to  Ririaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  descendants  after  they  featured  in  a  Chronicle  story  this  month,  having  camped  now  for  46  years  at  Kopua  Holiday  Park  and  at  Whale  Bay  before  that.   Edith  Symes

Sign up for fundraiser: Mount challenge around Karioi Up  for  a  challenge?  Then  consider  the  Karioi  Fundraiser  Trek  for  Atea.

A  growing  group  of  locals  and  visitors  will  soon  be  pulling  on  their  hiking  boots  to  tackle  the  43-­kilometre  circuit  around  Mount  Karioi  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  all  to  help  out  a  local  two-­year  old  whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ¿JKWLQJ FDQFHU Atea  Kahutapu  Haenga  -­  Te  Wheoro  was  recently  diagnosed  with  a  Wilmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  tumour  in Â

her  right  kidney.  After  undergoing  successful  surgery  to  remove  the  kidney,  she  is  now  undergoing  regular  chemotherapy  treatment,  and  travels  frequently  to  both  Auckland  and  Hamilton  hospitals.  Funds  raised  from  the  walk  will  go  towards  helping  the  family  with  their  ongoing  transport  costs.

The  idea  for  the  trek  initially  came  from  Dave  Hanna,  who  posted  it  on  the  Raglan  NZ  Facebook  page.  Support  quickly  spread  and  now  around  70  people  are  expected  to  take  part,  with  VRPH PHPEHUV RI $WHDÂśV IDPLO\ Ă&#x20AC;\LQJ in  from  Australia  especially  for  the  event.  Initially  scheduled  for  February  the  walk  has  been  pushed  back  to  23  March,  when  the  weather  should  be  cooler.  As  the  event  has  grown  in  size,  so  too  have  the  organisational  UHTXLUHPHQWV 7UDIÂżF FRQWURO ZLOO EH LQ place  around  the  circuit  and  organisers  are  also  on  the  lookout  for  medical  personnel  to  help  out  on  the  day.

Those  taking  part  are  expected  to Â

ÂżQG VSRQVRUV ZLWK SHU NLORPHWUH D suggested  target.  And  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  also  need  to  get  training!  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hoped  that  everyone  ZLOO ZDON WR D PLQXWH SHU NLORPHWUH pace  on  the  day,  meaning  the  entire  circuit  should  take  around  ten  hours  to  compete.  Walkers  can  take  part  in  teams,  but  breaks  will  be  short.  In  order  to  meet  the  physical  requirements  of  the  trek,  organisers  are  recommending  that  participants  start  committing  to  regular  two  to  three  kilometre  walks  with  bigger  distances  interspaced  in  between.

Are  you  up  for  the  challenge?  To  take  part,  register  your  interest  on  the  Raglan  NZ  Facebook  page:  http:// www.facebook.com/raglan.nz  (head  to  the  Events  tab)  or  give  Dave  a  ring  on  825  8669  (work).

If  you  would  like  to  make  a  donation  to  assist  Atea  and  her  family,  account  details  can  be  found  on  the  Raglan  NZ  Facebook  page,  or  pop  into  Westpac  Raglan  and  make  a  donation  over  the  counter.  Emma  Brooks

Meantime  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  for  the  next  few  weeks  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  the  regional  councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Sundays  and  public  holidays  bus  will  leave  the  Hamilton  Transport  Centre  at  10am,  arriving  in  Raglan  town  at  11  and  Manu  Bay  at  11.10.

minibus  arrangement  at  last  Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  meeting  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;an  experimental  system  of  having  a  chamber  run  a  busâ&#x20AC;?  but  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  think  they  or  the  New  Zealand  Transport  Agency  would  help  fund  it.

John  was  concerned  that  with  the  average  Sunday  bus  load  in  2011  having  been  8-­9  passengers,  then  it  was  likely  a  12-­seater  minibus  would  often  leave  passengers  behind  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  the  service  would  get  a  bad  reputation  and  fail.

One  encouraging  piece  of  news  he  took  from  last  weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  meeting  was  a  comment  by  the  regional  councillor  Paula  Southgate  that  they  would  be  querying  at  an  upcoming  meeting  with  Transport  Minister  Gerry  Brownlee  why  the   NZTA  bus  funding  system  cost  almost  twice  WKDW RI WKH (GXFDWLRQ 0LQLVWU\ÂśV Ă&#x20AC;DW UDWH payments  for  bus  services.

Success tastes sweet for family enterprise

Picnicker takes away more than leftovers Rumours  about  town  that  a  prominent  member  of  Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  emergency  services  scored  the  $1  million  winning  Lotto  ticket  at  Raglan  Pharmacy  were  dashed  last  Friday  when  a  Hamilton  man  revealed  he  was  the  lucky  punter.   The  man,  who  wished  to  remain  anonymous,  said  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  bought  the  ticket  while  out  at  Raglan  for  a  picnic  but  only  found  RXW DERXW KLV ÂżUVW GLYLVLRQ ZLQ ZKHQ KH FKHFNHG KLV tickets  while  buying  a  Big  Wednesday  ticket  days  later.   He  realised  something  was  up  by  the  look  on  the  face  of  the  young  guy  behind  the  Lotto  counter.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  said  to  him  I  hope  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  more  than  $10,000  and  he  said  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  got  a  lot  more  zeros  than  that.â&#x20AC;?

The sweet life: Finn (third from left) and Micah (far right) Puklowski with staff at United Sweetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Duke Street, Hamilton, hub.

Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Puklowski  family  are  like  kids  in  a  lolly  shop  these  days  DV WKHLU Ă&#x20AC;HGJOLQJ EXVLQHVV 8QLWHG Sweets  spreads  its  wings  around  1HZ =HDODQG DQG DEURDG Not  only  are  they  launching  their  Aussie  website  in  a  fortnight,  but  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  DOVR RSHQLQJ DQRWKHU VWRUH Âą WKHLU ÂżIWK Âą LQ Porirua  near  Wellington  at  the  end  of  next  month.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  bad  for  a  family  venture  that  started  out  selling  about  130  products  online  back  in  December  2011.  The  Puklowskis  are  now  selling  online  or  through  their  stores  more  than  750  lines  of  American  and  British  candies  and  sweets,  including  the  big  names  like  Hersheys  and  Reeseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.  Yes,  business  is  going  â&#x20AC;&#x153;very,  very  wellâ&#x20AC;?,  admits  20-­something  Micah  Puklowski  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  better  known  around  town  as  D EXGGLQJ ÂżOP PDNHU DIWHU VWXG\LQJ PHGLD arts  on  leaving  Raglan  Area  School.

The  13-­month-­old  family  business,  its  full  name  United  Sweets  NZ,  has  its  origins  in  her  own  sweet  tooth.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  brought  back  Big  Red  chewing  gum  from  America,â&#x20AC;?  explains  Micah,  after  being  hooked  on  the  FLQQDPRQ Ă&#x20AC;DYRXUHG JXP DV DQ $PHULFDQ Field  Scholar. Â

Her  family  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  run  United  Video  in  Frankton  for  close  to  a  decade,  with  Micahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  younger  brother  Finn  managing  the  shop  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  started  selling  the  candy  from  their  store  several  years  ago.

Fast  forward  to  2011  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;we  went  biggerâ&#x20AC;?,  says  Micah,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;selling  a  larger  range  (of  imported  sweets)â&#x20AC;?.

The  siblings,  along  with  parents  Mike  and  Suzy,  then  realized  they  had  the  opportunity  to  go  online  with  their  products  and  decided  to  go  quarter-­shares  in  the  sweets  business.  ³, EXLOW WKH ÂżUVW IHZ ZHEVLWHV DQG launched  with  a  GrabOne  (deal),â&#x20AC;?  she  told  the  Chronicle  last  week.  The  1000  vouchers  sold  out  in  a  few  hours  and  crashed  the  Wellington  server.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  huge!â&#x20AC;?

Half  the  product  awareness  seems  to  come  naturally  through  the  American  movie  market  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  dealing  with  at  United  Video  and  the  other  half  is  generated  by  social  media,  says  Micah.

Customers,  for  instance,  want  to  try  a  Twinkie  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  marketed  as  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;golden  sponge  FDNH ZLWK FUHDP\ ÂżOOLQJ´ Âą DIWHU VHHLQJ the  iconic  candy  in  the  American  comedy  Zombieland.  And  they  want  to  try  Baby  Ruth  bears  after  watching  The  Goonies.

Within  six  months  of  launching  lollies Â

and  drinks  online,  the  Puklowskis  opened  WKHLU ¿UVW VKRS LQ )UDQNWRQ YLOODJH ,W ZDV followed  a  few  months  later  by  two  more  Hamilton  shops,  in  Te  Awa  and  Centre  Place  malls.

And  another  month  or  so  down  the  track,  early  last  November  they  broke  into  the  Auckland  market  with  a  store  at  Sylvia  Park  shopping  centre.   At  the  same  time  they  secured  a  large  commercial  space  in  Duke  Street,  Frankton,  for  circulation  and  distribution  of  their  online  goodies.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  where  the  Puklowskis  and  a  growing  number  of  staff,  including  their  social  media  marketing  agency,  now  spend  much  of  their  time.  Two  smart,  black  United  Sweets  cars  were  parked  outside  when  the  Chronicle  called.  And  two  months  ago  the  company  also  got  its  own  labelled  boxes  which  was  an  exciting  milestone,  says  Micah. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At  this  point  our  United  Sweets  team  LV MXVW KLWWLQJ OLNHV RQ )DFHERRN ´ Micah  says  proudly.  And  on  the  retail  side  the  plan  is  to  open  six  new  stores  this  year  all  up  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  then  the  worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  limit,  she  says,  for  a  business  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  even  looking  at  malls  in  South  Africa  as  possible  new  outlets.    Edith  Symes
