Eatery’s end linked to notÂsoÂgolden weather “It’s a fairÂweather town, a fairÂweather destination, so the poor summer had a big impact,â€? Cloan told the Chronicle this week in the wake of the surprise closure of the 70Âseat cafĂŠ. Zaragoza – named after an area of Spain renowned for its gastronomy – closed one recent Sunday and never reopened as usual the following Wednesday. !"#$%&'($)*'($+*,-+'$./#0$*1$("#$,+*'2&#$ was when they read a notice on the window ("-($ '-34$ '3)5+6$ 78-&-9*:-$ "-'$ %/3'"#4$ trading and is now closedâ€? and thanked people for their custom. On the positive side several other businesses have opened downtown recently, though the owners of Raglan’s latest retail outlet, Eye Spy, says they’re “under no illusion it’s going to be a very slow winterâ€?. Cloan and his then partner Gloria Campbell gave up “highÂpoweredâ€? jobs in Auckland to open Zaragoza in late 2008.  They’d lived in Raglan from 1981 toÂ
1991, had kept a house here and wanted to return to what Cloan described as Raglan’s “amazing environment�. Cloan said while he kept hoping for “a better summer next year�, a multitude of factors prompted him to shut up shop.

Becks “always wanted two beach town shops�, and they’ve had an Eye Spy in Whitianga since last Labour Weekend.  They’ve also set up stalls for years at festivals and markets, including the Fieldays.
The pair have had “awesome feedbackâ€? since opening alongside Zinnia just before adjustment for a seasonal Easter.   “We bring all the stuff in ourselves͞ business.  Cloan Makgill we’re not buying off wholesalers so we can offer good prices and good quality,â€? says Becks.  “People are looking for that !"#$&#'(-2&-/($0-'$74#%/3(#+6$-$;3-<+#$ propositionâ€? when he did his homework something different now.â€? in 2007, but more food outlets had opened =#,.'$ #>5#,('$ -$ '+*0$ %&'($ 03/(#&$ 3/$ in his time here and “you’ve got to be Raglan “but it will be even slower in a slick operator to make it workâ€?.  He ?"3(3-/9-$ @$ 0#A&#$ ,*)3/9$ 3/(*$ *2&$ %&'($ conceded that “we were new to business, doubleÂbanger winter!â€? inexperiencedâ€?.

to QV from the council’s previous valuation providers, Valuation and Management Services. Raglan Community Board chairman and information retrieval expert Rodger Gallagher said at the time it seemed QV had not run a data match against the council’s building consent database.

Whatever, when the process is complete all objectors will receive a further notice from the council advising of their new CVs.  In all, 85 Raglan ward ratepayers lodged objections, much fewer than last time around.
The Greenslade Road resident, who’s looking to sell, was shocked when QV wiped $170,000 off the capital value of her waterfront property in its revaluation exercise last year for Waikato District Council. So she put in an objection – and last week QV wrote to say her CV has been amended to $890,000, a staggering $220,000 up on its previous valuation and $50,000 more than her CV before the revaluation exercise began. She says it was clear when QV called to inspect the property that they knew nothing about a studio sleepout built on the property in recent years. That and other cases Â including one where a new house in Lily Street was missed entirely in QV’s sweep and the new valuation &#B#,(#4$ */+6$ ("#$ +-/4$ ;-+2#$ A.T.

The disappointing weather over summer is among “multifariousâ€? reasons why Zaragoza owner Cloan Makgill has closed the doors and walked away from his SpanishÂstyle restaurant, leaving a yawning gap in a prime strip of downtown Raglan.

Not only did husband Rob buy her an easel for the landmark birthday but Jo was so inspired watching BBC television’s ‘Star Portraits’ – in which professional artists paint a celebrity – that she emailed the winning artist in the UK with whom she felt a connection, asking him if he’d consider looking at her work and giving some feedback. That started a mentoring relationship which has seen Jo also submit this year two other portraits “preselected” for the Royal Society’s annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries in the heart of London. Jo’s was one of 1300 entries worldwide, she says, of which just

ECCA Insulation Grants
Seed of the month: Rocket
Did you know that you can get up to 60% of the cost of insulating your home paid for by the government through ECCA Warm Up New Zealand grants? If you are renting your landlord could get the same grant.
As the name implies, few plants grow faster than Rocket (Eruca sativa). Part of the Brassica family, the dark, pungent leaves are excellent fare in a winter salad. When it goes to seed, enjoy eating the flowers too. Also known as arugula, as well as other names, it can be confused with ‘Wild Rocket’ (Diplotaxis Tenuafolia). Latin names may seem outdated but are vital to distinguish between plants when there is doubt about its common name.

If you have a community services card, you or your landlord could get 60% of the cost of insulation covered, or 33% if you don’t have a CSC.

beans
Beans rarely cross-pollinate. Select completely dry pods from your healthiest, most productive plants to use next year. Make sure the seeds are absolutely dry before storing. A few days on a plate in the hot water cupboard, or in a breezy and dry shady spot will do the trick.

Announcing… Timebank Raglan!
Damp air is harder to heat than dry air
Get long, lined curtains on your windows and close them when the sun Open curtains goes down and windows during the day - a ventliated house is healthier
Use draught stoppers on doors and put draught excluder on your windows
Cut back trees and shrubs from your windows - they block the sun and encourage damp
Dry clothes outside or next to an open window
Lack of light and ventilation causes damp - mould and mildew grow and the house is harder to heat
What is a timebank? Timebanks allow members to swap time and services. Everyone’s time is valued equally, so an hour of my time is worth an hour of yours. Some examples of timebank trades include dog walking, babysitting, garden help, craft or cooking or music lessons, minor repairs around the home, doing the shopping for someone, rides to the airport or town, etc… When someone gives their services, they earn a Timebank credit which can be redeemed to receive any of the services offered in the Timebank. Or you can request what you need! Maybe you’re looking for a clown for your kid’s birthday party? or someone to show you how to use your new laptop? The opportunities are many! WEC is starting Timebank Raglan to help knit together our community, strengthen our skill base and create new opportunities. If you want to know more, stop into our centre or become a member tonight.... (If you have a laptop, bring it!)

OPINION: Thoughts on ANZAC by Ian McKissack The major emphasis on Anzac Day is the joint military effort by the combined Australian and New Zealand forces at the Gallipoli landing, and a sense of comradeship that arose under such extreme circumstances. Reading a book from the Raglan Library by an Australian soldier who was at Gallipoli brought home to me the wider message, the horror and waste of war. It is a lesson the world seems to learn so slowly with the .3#"%#"*"7-%"N6.8,"1%3(%K#6U%67&%E(<567'1-67A%*37?'*-1% with dubious chances of long term positive effects.
