Rebranded: The LJ Hooker real estate team - Wendy & David Cordiner, Chrissy Cox, Matt Sweetman, Eileen Stephens and Kyle Leuthart

But  while  Century  21,  which  has  been  around  in  Raglan  for  22  years,  is  sending  its  staff  down  the  road  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  only  to  bigger,  brighter  premises  that  will  operate  under  the  L  J  Hooker  banner.

As  a  spokesman  for  the  real  estate  agency  branch  told  the  Chronicle  â&#x20AC;&#x153;everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  sameâ&#x20AC;?  except  for  its  new  location  and  new  name.

LJ  Hooker,  an  Australian-­based  real  estate  master  franchise  operation  may  have  a  smaller  global  presence  than  American  real  estate  giants  Century  21  but  Kyle  Leuthart  and  the  rest  of  the  old  Century  21  team  were  in  a  positive  mood  this  week  and  looking  forward  to  â&#x20AC;&#x153;utilisingâ&#x20AC;?  their  extra  space.

That  space  comes  from  combining  the  Ă&#x20AC;RRU DUHD RI WZR VKRSV ZKLFK KDYH JRQH elsewhere  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  Soul  Shoes,  now  happily  ensconced  at  the  wharf,  and  Splurge  which  moved  out  of  town  some  time  ago.

The  change  in  name  from  Century  21  to  L  J  Hooker  is  a  strategic  move,  explains  Kyle  whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  with  the  local  real  estate  company  for  six  years.  He  says  L  J  Hooker  ¹ ZLWK RIÂżFHV QDWLRQZLGH DQG WKURXJKRXW 1= $XVWUDOLD DQG WKH 3DFLÂżF Rim  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  offers  a  great  deal  more  in  terms  of  systems,  corporate  support  and  wider  networking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  important  to  have  a  wide  network  RI RIÂżFHV ´ KH VD\V As  part  of  the  L  J  Hooker  chain  the  Raglan  branch  retains  its  trading  name  of  George  Boyes  &  Co,  which  was  always  part  of  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  in  town  even  before  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  Century  21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  very  strong  rural  brand,â&#x20AC;?  insists  Kyle.

Geo  Boyes,  established  back  in  1906,  is  the  Waikatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  oldest  real  estate  company  and  one  of  the  three  oldest  in  the  country,  says  L  J  Hooker  Geo  Boyes  principal  and  owner  Greig  Metcalfe.  While  the  companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Hamilton  RIÂżFH KDV MXVW EHHQ UHQRYDWHG DQG RSHQV WRPRUURZ )ULGD\ LWV QHZ 5DJODQ RIÂżFH ZLOO KDYH LWV RIÂżFLDO RSHQLQJ DW WKH HQG RI next  week.

Stuart McFarlane, owner Doug McFarlane Ltd, presents the new RTV to lifeguard Travis Slatter y

there  can  be  no  greater  need  than  people  trained  to  intervene  with  the  right  equipment  on  hand.   This  donation  is  literally  an  investment  in  the  lives  of  everyday  New  Zealanders.   We  hope  beach-­goers  at  Raglan  and  Papamoa  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  need  to  call  on  this  equipment  but  if  they  are  unfortunate  enough  to  experience  a  crisis,  it  will  be  there,â&#x20AC;?  he  says.

CB  Norwood  Distributors  -­  Kubota  Manager  Ian  Massicks  says  the  innovative  RTV  features  a  transformation  system  that  quickly  converts  from  one-­to-­two-­row  seating Â

options,  meaning  there  is  plenty  of  space  to  transport  all  the  vital  rescue  equipment  including  a  stretcher.

Mr  Massicks  says  one  of  the  companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  strategies  is  to  look  at  how  it  can  help  support  the  local  community.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  very  proud  to  be  supporting  Surf  Life  Saving  New  Zealand  and  our  local  Kubota  dealers,â&#x20AC;?  he  says.

Papamoa  Surf  Life  Saving  Club  received  their  new  vehicle  from  R&R  Tractors  in  Te  Puke  while  Raglan  received  theirs  from  Doug  McFarlane  Ltd  in  Hamilton.

Raglan  Surf  Life  Saving  Club  convener  of  lifesaving  Travis  Slattery  says  since  they  have  been  using  the  new  RTV  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  given  the  Lifeguards  much  better  mobility  for  transporting  equipment  around  the  beach.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  can  put  everything  from  paddle  boards  and  rescue  gear  on  top  of  the  roof  to  folding  EDFN WKH VHDWV WR ÂżW D VWUHWFKHU Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  something  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  not  had  before.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  just  like  a  mobile  ¿UVW DLG WRRO ´ KH VD\V Doug  McFarlane  Ltd  in  Hamilton  is  New  Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  oldest  Kubota  dealer.  Owner  Stuart  McFarlane  says  he Â

The  number  of  unregistered  dogs  in  the  Waikato  District  is  currently  about  296,  compared  with  1,431  a  year  ago.  This  means  that  of  the  approximately  12,800  dogs  in  the  district,  only  2.3  per  cent  were  unregistered  in  January  2013,  compared  with  11.1  per  cent  a  year  ago.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  pleased  to  see  this  sharp  decline  in  the  number  of  unregistered  dogs,  and  are  hoping  this  trend  will  continue  over  the  coming  year,â&#x20AC;?  said  general  manager  Regulatory,  Nath  Pritchard.  The  cost  to  owners  in  the  approved  category  for  registering  a  dog  after  1  August  2012  fell  38  per  cent  to  $85  from  $137  in  the  year  to  June  2012.  For  dog  owners  in  the  general  category  the  fee  is  $110,  down  from  $137,  a  fall  of  20  per  cent.

But  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  safety  in  numbers,  so  they  say,  and  eight  of  us  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  all  women  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  set  out  into  the  thankfully  still  waters  of  the  estuary  from  Kopua  boat  ramp  at  7am.   I  hoped  onlookers  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  notice  I  was  the  only  one  paddling  on  my  knees.  SUP  yoga  teacher  Laurie  Carpenter  led  the  way  for  this,  the  trial  session.  She  and  Justine  Quarrell  of  Raglan  Paddleboard  had  been  out  there  in  the  estuary  practising  for  the  past  fortnight  and  reckoned  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  attracted  a  bit  of  interest.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  new  to  me  as  well,â&#x20AC;?  confessed  Laurie,  whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  more  familiar  with  having  KHU IHHW ÂżUPO\ RQ WKH JURXQG WHDFKLQJ ERG\ balance  at  Te  Mata  Hall  and  Raglan  Gym  through  a  mix  of  yoga,  tai  chi  and  pilates.

Raglanites practising SUP yoga on Raglan harbour â&#x20AC;&#x153;randomâ&#x20AC;?  email,  however,  suggesting  yoga  on  a  paddleboard  could  catch  on  in  Raglan  as  it  apparently  has  in  Auckland.

So  there  we  were  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  lifebelts  attached,  Waikato  Regional  Council  would  have  been  pleased  to  know  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  stretching  and  balancing  on  knees,  bottoms  and  feet  as  our  paddleboards  drifted  slightly  back  towards  shore  in  the  cool  morning  air. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Squeeze  your  butt  cheeks,â&#x20AC;?  was  what  one  intrigued  onlooker Â

apparently  heard  from  shore  as  we  valiantly  embraced  the  ancient  art  of  yoga  on  our  sometimes  wobbly  boards.

For  the  record  we  did  the  cobra,  plank  and  Hindi  squat,  the  GRZQ GRJ EULGJH DQG ¹ ¿WWLQJO\ ¹ boat  poses.  An  hour  later  we  happily  paddleboarded  back  to  shore,  and  ZLWK UHQHZHG FRQ¿GHQFH , ZDV RQ my  feet  rather  than  my  knees.

The  consensus  was  that,  yes,  SUP  yoga  was  a  bit  of  a  challenge Â

but  worth  the  effort  given  the  VHQVDWLRQ RI Ă&#x20AC;RDWLQJ LQ EHDXWLIXO surrounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  lot  more  challenging  than  doing  yoga  on  land,â&#x20AC;?  Laurie  FRQÂżUPHG Âł7KH VOLJKW LQVWDELOLW\ on  the  board  surprised  me.  But  you  can  also  feel  the  core  muscles  working  a  helluva  lot  more.â&#x20AC;?

Celebrities  like  Jennifer  Aniston,  Matthew  McConaughey  and  Kate  Hudson  may  indeed  be  sampling  SUP  yoga,  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  craze  of  the  moment  in  Florida  by  all  accounts,  but  I  think  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  stick  to  tea  and  toast  in  bed.  Standing  upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  unnecessary  for  that,  and   a  spillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  less  likely.  *Raglanites  keen  to  give  it  a  go  can  do  so  on  Fridays  at  7am  and  Wednesdays  at  6pm.  Phone  825  0507  or  021  1341  686  for  bookings.    Edith  Symes

Ocean  Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  distinctive  and  much  talked-­about  â&#x20AC;&#x153;moon  houseâ&#x20AC;?  has  just  gone  RQ WKH 5DJODQ PDUNHW IRU WKH ÂżUVW WLPH and,  while  vendors  Ray  White  Raglan  Real  Estate  are  tipping  many  people  will  be  â&#x20AC;&#x153;breaking  their  necks  to  have  a  look  at  itâ&#x20AC;?  at  open  days  this  month,  the  leasehold  propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  expected  to  sell  at  auction  for  a  healthy  rather  than  astronomical  price.

The  property  comes  not  only  with  a  colourful  history  involving  an  old  seadog  and  an  ageing  playboy  but  also  with  a  separate  two-­bedroom  pad  and  a  three-­bay  docking  station  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  or  if  you  like,  garage  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;for  the  moon  buggies.

Ray  White  Raglan  principal  Julie  Hanna  expects  that  with  a  little  maintenance  it  will  make  either  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;quirky  beach  houseâ&#x20AC;?  or  great  holiday  accommodation.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  one  of  a  kind,â&#x20AC;?  she  says  of  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;moon  houseâ&#x20AC;?,  which  featured  in  the  2008  Wintec-­published  book  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Baches  of  Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.  Julieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  tipping  there  will  be  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge  turnoutâ&#x20AC;?  at  the  open  days  and  the  on-­site  auction,  and  says  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  even  a  Futura  club  whose  members  are  interested  in  viewing  the  property.

The  â&#x20AC;&#x153;moon  houseâ&#x20AC;?  and  its  outliers  have  been  put  on  the  market  by  56-­year-­ old  Bill  McKinstry  and  his  Papua  New  Guinean  wife,  who  bought  the  property  two  years  ago  from  longtime  family  friend  Captain  Peter  Farrell.   The  old  shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  captain  lived  on  in  his  beloved  spaceship  by  the  sea  until  departing  this  earthly  life  late  last  year  at  the  age  of  83.

The  McKinstrysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  friendship  with  Peter  went  back  decades,  to  when  they Â

were  neighbours  in  Whangaparoa  north  of  Auckland.   Peter  was  still  going  to  sea  two  years  on  and  one  off,  but  when  he  retired  in  the  mid  1980s  had  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;moon  houseâ&#x20AC;?  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  found  earlier  in  a  Tauranga  paddock  transported  down  to  leasehold  land  at  Raglan.

Over  the  years  the  McKinstrys  became  increasingly  regular  visitors  to  Raglan  and  for  the  last  two  years  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  lived  in  and  renovated  the  bach  behind  the  grounded  spaceship.

Bill  and  his  wife  are  selling  because  they  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  see  renovating  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;moon  KRXVH´ DV WKH EHVW ÂżQDQFLDO FRXUVH for  them.   Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  looking  instead  at  moving  down  country  and  doing  up  properties  in  the  likes  of  Tokoroa.  But  why  would  an  old  seafarer  have  bought  a  spaceship  lookalike  for  a  retirement  home  anyway?   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  like  a  one-­bedroom  apartment  and  also  a  little  like  a  captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  cabin,  and  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  why  I  think  it  appealed  to  Peter,â&#x20AC;?  says  Bill  of  his  late  friend  of  40  years.

How  Captain  Peter  Farrell  found  his  spaceship  makes  fascinating  reading  in  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Baches  of  Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  book.    Peter  related  how  in  the  1970s  he  was  in  command  of  a  ship  on  a  voyage  from  India  to  New  Zealand,  and  on  board  there  was  a  Playboy  magazine  with  an  article  about  Hugh  Hefner  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;he  had  one  of  these  domed  housesâ&#x20AC;?.  After  the  Jelunga  berthed  at  Tauranga,  Peter  wrote,  a  couple  of  his  juniors  happened  on  a  house  like  Hefnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  in  a  paddock.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  went  and  saw  it  and  bought  it  on  the  spot,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  fell  in  love  with  it,  especially  since  it  gave  me  something  in  common  with  Hugh  Hefner.â&#x20AC;?

Ray  White  Raglan  Real  Estate  will  have  open  homes  at  the  property  every  Saturday  and  Sunday  of  February.  The  property  will  be  auctioned  on  site  on  March  2.
