This week the Chronicle caught up with Viv Regnier.

Who do you coach?

Clinic Raglan & Raglan Karioi Orca, Year 6 ‘Future Hamilton Ferns’netball side.

How long have you been coaching for?

Mobile 0274 828 021 Had a dabble assisting last season but Email: waite@waikatomidwives.co.nz this is first year lead coaching.

Why did you decide to put your hand up to coach?

I liked the idea of being directly involved with the team’s sporting aspirations and received huge encouragement from the team’s parents and Raglan Netball Club. Plus, it was important that the team had the opportunity to play this season (shortage of coaches – still somewhat of a dilemma in community-level sports nationwide).

What are the highlights of coaching a team?

Having fun and being part of the individual and collective determination shared by the team to develop skills and succeed. Other highlights include working with our amazing team manager, Mariella, umpire’s Jo, Alanis and Brianna and the hearty, dedicated network of parents who support every training and game. Everyone plays a part, and every part is valuable.

What are the challenges?

and authoritative. We have a structure for skills and development and build on what we do well. Then, the team has a say in where and how they would like play to unfold. Then, we boot-camp it to iron out any chaos! I’m continually exploring the balance between competition and enjoyment – it’s an ongoing process and the team has no problem telling me if it’s too far one way or the other. I like that we have open working relationships.

Is it all about winning?

Wins are pretty cool, we like winning.

We’ve won a few games this season, and lost a few more. We don’t mind the losses because they motivate us to look at the areas we can improve for the next time.

I’ve not yet seen anyone in the team disheartened by not winning, which leads me to believe we are all on the same page in terms of giving it everything on the court and walking away knowing the best performance was given on the day.

How do you think team sports benefit our young ones today?

So many benefits, but stand outs include; physical fitness and skill development, belonging, positive working relationships, collective and individual responsibility, and leadership opportunities.

Best piece of advice ever given?

You CAN do anything you put your mind to. http://www.weathermap.co.nz/?p=ragla Best moment of the season so far?

The first win of the competition was definitely a stand out! Really, every moment we’ve shared so far is a best!

Sewage spill once again threatens harbour

T

he Waikato District Council does not have any ready answers as to why yet another sewage spill occurred in Raglan over the weekend.

Just a month after being fined for a large sewage spill into Raglan Harbour last year, the council was investigating an overflow from a wastewater reticulation pump station manhole in Wainui Road, opposite Marine Parade, on Sunday.

The council confirmed the wastewater was untreated sewage and it was assumed that some of it may had gone into the harbour because of the proximity of the manhole to the water.

WDC service delivery general manager Tim Harty said the public was asked to refrain from collecting seafood, fishing or swimming in the area until further notice.

“We are collecting samples from the harbour to ensure e-coli levels are at a safe enough level for recreational use,” he said.

The incident was not linked to the discharge of about five million litres of partially treated sewage into the estuary at Raglan’s wastewater treatment plant in June last year, the council said.

Last month the council was fined $56,250 for the 2013 discharge, which was the result of an overflowing treatment pond. It caused contaminant to flow past the local boat ramp and camping ground and over shellfish beds.

The council were advised of Sunday’s overflow by a local resident about 9am and responded immediately to stop the overflow and clean up the site.

“It is estimated that the overflow occurred for approximately 16 hours, however the quantity of wastewater discharged is still being determined,” Tim said.

Iwi, the Waikato Regional Council and the Waikato District Health Officer were notified immediately and signage was erected in the harbour as a precaution.

The cause of the overflow was not yet known, he said. The district and regional councils were working together to prepare a detailed report and recommended actions which should be completed by the end of the week.

However, Whaingaroa Harbour Care manager Fred Lichtwark questioned whether council did in fact know there was a problem at the manhole, as a waste truck and service crew had been at the site for several days beforehand.

Fred said the council had handled the latest spill badly and had not fully informed the community about the problem, as it had promised after the 2013 spill.

There was only one sign at the one-way bridge to Raglan West warning people against swimming and taking shellfish or fish from the harbour, and there were no signs at the boat ramp or by the museum, where people often collected shellfish.

Another sign was spotted at the manhole site, which was down some steps from the footpath and not visible to motorists.

“Are they [the council] really taking the concerns of the community seriously?,” he asked. “What’s wrong with notifying everyone else?”

Fred said he was offered some locallycaught shellfish on Sunday by a local who was not aware of the possible contamination.

The council said the pump station was currently being upgraded as part of a district wide project to upgrade the wastewater reticulation system.

“Any personnel or work vehicles on site prior to the event were contributing to the upgrade, not trying to fix any problems,” the council said.

The council denied the lack of communication, saying council staff phoned

“Because of the timing of the event we also took advantage of social media to distribute the information as quickly as possible. Additional information has since been shared with other interested parties.”

The Hamilton District Court prosecution was initiated under the Resource Management Act by the Waikato Regional Council, which was effectively the watchdog for any discharges into the environment, following an investigation.

A lack of communication by the council was highlighted by Judge David Kirkpatrick as a problem that “seriously aggravated the offending”.

Regional council programme manager infrastructure Hugh Keane thought the WDC communication had improved and it had acted promptly when notified about the pump station failure.

He said while the sewage discharge had been unauthorised, it was too early to say what action the WRC might take. Like any piece of machinery, there could be mechanical problems with pump stations at times. Rachel Benn

he money raised from camping ground fees has been put to good use by a local Maori trust, with the resurrection of a derelict site on Riria Kereopa Memorial Drive into a community arts space.

Te Kopua Block 3 and 4 Trust, which runs a camping ground behind its Kokiri Centre on the same road, has spent about $40,000 raised from camp fees from the past three years on the two-building site.

Trustee Heather Thomson said two new tenants – carver Kawharu Greensill and local trades operator Tom Rudolph - were moving this week into the renovated Te Kopua Industrial Site, which was opened on Saturday.

There was now a gallery space to showcase Maori art, a carving room, kitchen and toilet facilities and other spaces that could be used by artists.

A verandah would also be built on the main building and tables and chairs put outside during summer to capture

the view.

Heather said the site was a real asset with “fantastic possibilities” for business, as it was had lots of parking, was close to town, bordered the river and had room for expansion.

The two sheds were built in the 1980s and were used over the years for a timber yard, a fashion business, a training centre and a storage centre, but had fallen into disrepair after being empty for the last 15 years.

“We recognised that it was a great site and the building had great bones, but everything needed replacing,” Heather said.

With the help of Department of Corrections, the outside was first tidied up, then the inside of the buildings was completely refurbished. A huge amount of work was done to repair and replace floors, rooves, windows and doors, then the place was painted.

Corrections supervision Wayne Tukiri, who had been bringing teams of community workers out to the site about three times a week since November, said their work would continue with the planting of natives

The Government made the long-awaited announcement last week, based on recommendations released by ACC, which included a three cent per litre petrol levy drop – bringing the ACC portion of petrol down to 6.9 cents per litre.

Te Mata-based fencing contractor Jim Munns said the ACC levy cuts to motor vehicle registration would be a welcome financial relief for him and his business.

“I’ve got two diesels…I think it’s a good idea because the [addition of] road taxes are really high.”

He said the current price of registration could be a real financial strain on motorists.

“It makes you grumpy. You get money in the bank and something else comes along.

“I feel sorry for [people who ride] motorbikes.”

In its recommendations, ACC did not include any motorcycle levy cuts saying that motorcycles are “already heavily subsidised by other vehicle owners.”

The ACC recommendations also called for the Government to include significant reductions in the Work levy (work-related cover) and the Earners’ levy (outside of work cover) accounts of ACC. It was recommended that a 21 per cent drop be made to the average Work levy with a five per cent decrease to the Earners’ levy.

Despite these recommendations, however, the Government decreased the average Work levy by only five per cent with no change to the Earners’ levy.

Jim said that despite the differences between the recommendations made by ACC and the actual reductions made by the Government, the savings made would be worthwhile.

“It’s got to be better than nothing, I suppose.

“At the end of the day there’s a bit more money to put more diesel in…that’s one of the biggest things.”

Income-related levy changes come into effect on April 1, 2015 while vehicle-related levy changes take effect on July 1, 2015. Marcia Ahern

Te Mata teen on CanTeen Committee A

fter being elected onto the committee of the Waikato Branch of CanTeen, 14-yearold Liam Dingle wants to give back to the organisation that has helped him and to help other members “to realise their full potential.”

CanTeen is a nation-wide organisation which aims to “support, develop and empower young people living with cancer.”

Every region has a branch which elects committee members at their AGM. The 14 elected committee members vote on important issues and organise fundraising – for CanTeen – and events for CanTeen Waikato branch Members.

The Waikato branch of CanTeen has more than 50 members, consisting of patients and siblings of cancer patient.

At nine-years-old, Liam was diagnosed with a Pituitary Stalk Germinoma. This meant that a “small” tumour had formed on the pituitary stalk, which connects to the pituitary gland, at the base of his brain.

Liam’s mum, Rachael, said that the whole ordeal sent the family into “shock” and completely changed everyday life for nearly two months, as Liam “had 28 radiation treatments on his brain, every week day for six

weeks.”

The family received “amazing support” during their ordeal, which is why Liam jumped at the chance to represent his fellow members as a committee member, she said.

“He’s really, really keen to give back. He realises how much help and support we had.”

Liam said he received a phone call before last month’s AGM (for CanTeen Waikato) to say that he had been nominated for the 2014 committee elections.

He said that he was “hopeful” of a seat on the committee and when, on the election night, his name was called out as one of the 14 elected members he was “over the moon.”

“I was ecstatic.”

As a committee member Liam votes on issues regarding the Waikato branch, puts forward ideas, organises fundraisers and events and attends committee retreats, such as the most recent trip to Tukino Ski Field, he said.

“I’ve really had to step up from letting other people do it, to do it myself.”

Liam said he hoped to encourage members to “get more involved in activities and “to realise their full potential.”

“Not just realise it, but, grow into that potential.” Marcia Ahern

Meeting on alcohol and gambling coincides with hearings A on

meeting in Raglan Monday to seek community views on alcohol licensing and gambling will be wedged between the hearings for two new liquor licence applications for the town.

The Waikato District Council public meeting on Monday, August 18 at the Raglan Town Hall is part of a series of meetings around the district to seek community views on alcohol and gambling, which will be used to help the council draft two new policies.

Prior to the meeting, the council’s District Licensing Committee will hold a hearing into Rock-it Café’s application for an on-licence to sell alcohol seven days a week between 10am to 1am at its café and entertainment venue on Wainui Road. The application has received 16 objections.

Bow Street Liquor is applying for an off-licence for a bottle store in the main street, opening from 9am every day until 9pm Sunday to Thursday and until 10pm on

Friday and Saturday nights. The application, which will be heard on Tuesday, has received 64 objections and a petition with 18 signatories.

The application hearings are open to the public but only those who have lodged an objection are entitled to speak, as well as the applicant and reporting agencies, the Police, medical officer of health and licensing inspector.

The public consultation meeting on Monday evening concerns council’s Local Alcohol Policy (LAP) on the licensing of premises to sell alcohol, both onlicence and off-licence.

Council customer support general manager Sue Duignan said the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act passed in 2012 allowed each council to develop a LAP for its area, giving the community a chance to have a say on the licensing process, on such matters as location and opening hours of businesses selling alcohol.

Once a LAP was in place, the local licensing committee and the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority must have regard to the LAP when making

decisions on licence applications.

The second policy reviewed the council’s existing gambling policies and would result in a district-wide policy which covered how many gambling venues and pokie machines should be allowed and where they should be located.

“Both alcohol licensing and gambling are subjects which many people hold strong views on, so it’s vital we get the views of a wide range of residents and organisations as we develop these new policies,” Sue said.

The public would get two opportunities to comment on the policies: at the Monday’s meeting and in November or December when it formally consulted on the draft policies.

Initial feedback was collected through a survey conducted in 2013 and would be used along with the feedback from the public meetings in drafting the two policies, she said.

is testament to the prolific song-writing of the group, these are evergreen songs,” says Paul Madsen who plays Barry Gibb.

Madsen says people don’t realise just how many hits the Brothers Gibb wrote.

“At one stage they dominated the charts with 5 of their songs in the top 10!

This show is Closer than Close and won’t disappoint so keep Stayin Alive.”

Area Fishing Report:

by the Raglan Wharf Seagull

It is all about picking your days at the moment.

Recently snapper to 6kgs were caught in quick time at 35m off Ruapuke beach, with a few spiny dogs in the mix. Snapper, gurnard and kahawhai are all in great condition. Now is the time to smoke up those surplus kahawhai for a fine wintry meal.

Whitebait were running recently along the beach at Coxs Bay and Lorenzen Bay. Caspian terns were seen flying overhead and following their progress.

It could be another very good whitebait season, are you prepared to go?

Flounder are a bit scarce at the moment around the harbour, but when the kowhai flower the yellow bellies return – perhaps next month?

Even while recently floundering from the wharf to Okete, we saw only small flounder - though plenty of piper and small snapper were also seen. Another family went off the aerodrome on the harbour side on the same night and speared a good feed.

Now is the time to check your gear and do any maintenance on fishing reels, boats, trailers, motors and check battery condition.

Come October the snapper fishing will be all go for another season.

The local Coastguard’s annual Tide Chart book is available now.

The Kawhia Bar has changed its characteristics because of the NE weather pattern, and their boatie’s have been warned when crossing. There have been no reports of any problems at Raglan but due care should be taken, particularly at low tide.

All our harbour navigation lights are in working order.

So layer up your clothes, keep warm out there, take up the challenge to find where those fish are, take only what you need, and have a safe trip home.

8 RAGLAN Chronicle

Start ordering garden seeds for the season.

Clean out your hot houses, start digging in the oats, lupins, mustard crops and compost. Plant your early seeds into trays for transplanting later.

Prepare your beetroot, brassicas, lettuce, marigolds, dahlias and other tubers.

Lots to do. Put potatoes out to sprout. Place a kumara in an ice cream container half full of sandy clean soil. When the leafy nodules grow from the kumara, split them off into potting containers to develop, so they are ready to plant out in November.

This is the last month for pruning of roses, passion fruit vines and fruit trees - also spray with lime sulphur or a strong winter oil solution.

All the shallots, garlic and onions should be up in the ground by now. Mulch these with pea straw to keep the weeds away and throw on some sheep manure for their benefit.

This coming season try something new in the flower/vegetable line. My seed supplier sent me a sample packet of white salvia flowers; these will make quite a show and bring comments from family and friends.

I usually grow only desiree and agria potatoes, but am planting heather instead of agria. The agria’s are not keeping well in storage so hence the heather.

Sensitive plants, trees and shrubs will need frost protection covers for the next few months – i.e tamarillos. So in closing, planning and preparation is most important now.

Kids Giveaway: Six packets of 25 black spinach seeds. These are easily grown in prepared soil. Will be up in 10 days and are easy care. Keep you gardens growing and I’ll see you leaning on your spade.
