Dear  Editor, Last  week's  Chronicle  seemed  rather  biased  in  your  election  coverage.  You  printed,  “Clint  Baddeley,  our  tireless,  dedicated  ward  memberâ€?  and  “a  hard-­working  Clintâ€?.  Hard  working  he  may  be,  but  effective?  Since  2009,  my  rates  have  increased  by  a  quarter  RYHU DQG DERYH LQĂ€DWLRQ DQG WKH /RQJ Term  Plan  is  for  similar  increases  in  future.

It  doesn't  help  that  Clint  seems  to  believe  that  council  borrowing  creates  jobs  and,  as  Chair  of  Finance  Committee,  he's  overseen  the  plan  to  raise  the  cost  of  borrowing  from  $2.6m  to  $4.1m  this  year.  Borrowing  might  FUHDWH MREV LQ +DPLOWRQ IRU WKH ¿UPV who've  built  the  museum,  footbridge,  wharf,  roundabouts,  etc,  but  the  millions  for  those  projects  must  have  driven  many  jobs  and  people  out  of  Raglan.

In  2010  Clint's  Council  had  the  country's  lowest  voter  turnout.  In  2013  65  nominations  for  50  positions  is  even  worse  than  2010's  73.  This  July's  nine  uninformative  media  releases  were  typical;͞  people  don't  know  what's  happening,  lose  interest  and  we  end  up  hearing  little,  rates  up,  frequent  blunders  (eg  painting  Bow  St  road  http://www.weathermap.co.nz/?p=ragla markings  3  times  last  year),  etc. :H QHHG D FKDQJH Regards,  John  Lawson,  Raglan Weather Map

Elation, caution as windfarm project dealt a critical blow

Whaanga  Coast  resident  and  Point  Boardriders  Club  president  Reuben  Brown  said  he  was  “elated�  that  Contact  –  New  Zealand’s  second  largest  electricity  generator  but  majority-­owned  by  Australia’s  Origin  Energy  –  had  decided  to  exit  the  Hauauru  ma  raki  project  as  it  focused  on  geothermal  rather  than  wind  power  as  its  preferred  generation  technology.

But  he  cautioned  that  another  energy  company  could  still  potentially  take  up  the  resource  consent  sometime  in  the  future,  and  said  he’d  be  “gutted�  if  that  happened.

Even  so  he  doubted  any  revised  windfarm  proposal  would  stretch  down  the  coast  as  far  as  Mussel  Rock.

Reuben  said  his  and  other  Whaanga  Coasters’  protests  had  been  about  the  sheer  size  and  the  “in-­your-­faceâ€?  nature  of  the  Contact  project.   “We  value  our  passive  landscape,  and  being  able  to  see  many  kilometres  up  our  coast  without  the  interruption  of  turbines Â

with  their  lights  on  at  night,�  he  said.  “Windfarm  developments  need  to  be  a  little  more  passive  and  less  aggressive.�

He  was  not  opposed  outright  to  windfarms,  but  felt  they  should  be  more  “sympatheticâ€?  to  the  people  they  were  affecting.   His  preference  was  for  smaller  operations  on  a  more  local  scale,  “not  takeover  by  big  corporatesâ€?.   If  an  energy  company  wanted  to  build  a  huge  windfarm  “why  not  do  it  in  Auckland  where  its  LPPHGLDWH FRQVXPHUV DUH" 5DJODQ EHQHÂżWV very  little  anywayâ€?.

Reuben  said  in  areas  like  Raglan  there  were  alternatives  to  windfarms  –  solar  panels,  for  instance,  were  less  intrusive  to  such  areas  and  didn’t  take  away  the  pristine  landscapes.

Fellow  Hauauru  ma  raki  opponent  Phil  McCabe,  who  was  a  familiar  face  at  hearings  over  the  project  as  he  effectively  acted  as  a  lawyer  for  local  opponents,  was  out  of  town  when  news  of  Contact’s  turnaround  broke  and  knew  nothing  about  it  until  texted  by  the  Chronicle.

He  was  pleased  to  hear  of  Contact’s  decision,  saying  the  project  “was  always  a  bad  ideaâ€?. “We  don’t  need  to  further  industrialise  that  northern  coastal  landscape  to  fuel  greater  consumption  in  our  cities  and  EROVWHU DOUHDG\ IDW FRUSRUDWH SURÂżWV ´ KH texted  back.  “We  should  reduce  wasteful  HQHUJ\ XVH ÂżUVW DQG WKHQ LI ZH ÂżQG ZH QHHG more  [energy],  the  Government  should Â

incentivise  community-­owned,  diverse  and  dispersed  generation.   That  would  SOXJ ODUJH ¿QDQFLDO OHDNV IURP KRXVHKROGV communities  and  the  country.�

Reuben  told  the  Chronicle  he’d  spoken  to  Wind  Farm  Group  managing  director  Al  Yates  who,  while  he  was  disappointed  his  group’s  joint  venture  with  Contact  was  not  going  ahead,  “commended  us  for  standing  up  for  our  community  ‌  and  speaking  our  mindâ€?.

The  Te  Akau  coast  windfarm  –  which  would  have  been  six  times  the  size  of  Meridian’s  28-­turbine  windfarm  at  Te  Uku  –  was  expected  to  have  injected  $180  million  into  the  regional  economy,  and  the  Waikato  Chamber  of  Commerce  said  Contact’s  pullout  was  just  another  disappointment  for  the  region  and  especially  the  energy  sector  following  the  recent  Huntly  coalmining  layoffs.

Meanwhile  Waikato  District  Mayor  Allan  Sanson  was  quoted  as  saying  the  project  was  never  something  the  council  was  banking  on,  and  that  it  would  have  brought  not  only  a  considerable  number  of  jobs  to  the  area  during  construction  but  also  “a  fair  bit  of  disruption  as  well�.

But  New  Zealand  Wind  Energy  Association  boss  Eric  Pyle  hoped  there  might  be  a  future  for  the  Te  Akau  coast  project  as  a  smaller  proposition,  pointing  out  it  was  already  fully  consented.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  want  people  to  be  inspired  (by  the  working  environment),â&#x20AC;?  operations  manager  Gavin  Melgren  said  last  week,  pointing  to  a  new  coat  of  paint  on  the  roof  of  the  open-­ended  processing  room  DQG DQ H[WHQVLRQ WR LWV FRQFUHWH Ă&#x20AC;RRU VR new  bins  can  soon  be  added  to  the  sort  line.

The  place  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  need  to  be  â&#x20AC;&#x153;grottyâ&#x20AC;?,  he  insists,  referring  to  the  processing  room  as  Xtreme  Wasteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;heartbeatâ&#x20AC;?.  Despite  being  crucial  to  the  whole  operation  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  attracting  many  visitors,  from  school-­children  to  management  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  the  room  has  been  the  least  well-­ presented  of  the  recycle  and  refuse  transfer  stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  facilities,  Gavin  says.

But  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  time  now  to  separate  the  cleaner  recycling  look  from  that  of  the  ODQGÂżOO The  processing  room  will  have  a  pristine  â&#x20AC;&#x153;dairy-­likeâ&#x20AC;?  face  with  white  walls  and  stainless  steel  containment  bins  on  wheels,  he  explains,  making  for  a  more  hygienic  environment  and  lifting  the  perception  of  the  value  of  Xtreme  Wasteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  work  in  the  marketplace.

The  upgrade  comes  thanks  in  part  to  Fonterraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  controversial  new  lightproof  milk  bottle  with  its  black  inner  plastic  layer.   Environmental  brands  manager  Nic  Bishop  visited  and  offered  support  to  upgrade  the  processing  room  after  an  approach  by  Xtreme  Waste  over  its  inability  to  recycle  Fonterraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  latest Â

product,  resulting  in  loss  of  premiums  and  market  restrictions.

Dyes  used  in  the  white  and  black  layers  of  plastic  to  prevent  light  from  degrading  the  quality  of  the  milk  mean  the  opaque  white  container  cannot  be  processed  with  other  milk  bottles.  So  sponsorship  from  Fonterra  to  create  more  space  and  extend  the  sorting  categories  became  essential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  do  it  without  Fonterra,â&#x20AC;?  Gavin  says.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;And  their  sustainable  department  is  doing  a  ZRQGHUIXO MRE ÂżQGLQJ PDUNHWV IRU LWV products.â&#x20AC;?

aglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  very-­own  second-­hand  book  shop,  is  in  fact  a  whole  lot  more  than  simply  a  collection  of  pre-­loved  books  of  all  shapes  and  sizes;Íž  a  little  community  of  book  worms  also  gather  round  it  weekly,  lending  their  time  and  passion  for  the  written  word,  to  help  keep  the  shop  ticking  over.

Owner,  Jo  Catlin  wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  without  her  team  of  volunteers,  some  regular  helpers,  others  relievers,  who  give  their  time  to  man  the  shop,  freeing  Jo  to  explore  the  world  beyond  Raglan  gathering  books,  as  she  says,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  feel  proud  to  have  in  my  shop.â&#x20AC;?

She  sets  very  high  standards  about  the  choices  she  makes,  not  only  in  terms  of  their  content  but  also  in  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;reasonablenessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  of  the  price  she  sells  the  books  for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New  Zealand  books  are  far  too  overpriced.   I  want  to  encourage  people  to  buy  books  so  I  sell  them  at  prices  they  can  afford.   In  a  town  like  Raglan,  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  incredibly  important.â&#x20AC;?

Jo  opened  the  shop  nearly  18  months  ago  but  her  connection  with  second-­hand  books  extends  back  many  years  through  her  time  running  the  recycling  shop  at  Xtreme  Waste.   Most  of  her  books  are  priced  DURXQG WR EXW VRPH SUHFLRXV 1= ÂżUVW HGLWLRQV are  marked  above  this,  given  their  value.   Selling  books  that  have  already  had  their  pages  turned  is  one  of  Joâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ways  of  supporting  the  concepts  of  recycling  and  sustainability  she  aspires  to  live  by.

Her  bookshop  is  a  popular  destination  for  teachers  DV ZHOO DQG VKH ÂżQGV LW KHDUWHQLQJ WR VHH VR PDQ\ bought  as  gifts  by  parents  to  give  to  young  ones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  love  reading.   I  always  have  more  than  one  on  the  go  at  a  time,  like  most  of  the  ladies  who  come  in  and  help  out.â&#x20AC;?

A  love  of  reading  opens  up  the  world  and  Jo  is  certainly  doing  her  bit  to  make  that  world  possible  for  everyone  in  Raglan.

They  visit  us  from  Gannet  (Karewa)  Island  off  the  Kawhia  coast,  which  is  one  of  the  northern-­ most  breeding  colonies  in  NZ.  Fur  seals  are  one  of  only  3  species  of  New  Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  native  SLQQLSHGV Âą ÂżQ IRRWHG FDUQLYRURXV mammals.

Today  they  thrive,  but  there  was  once  a  time  when  they  were  hunted  nearly  to  extinction  for  their  meat  and  skins.

Female  seals  birth  their  pups  during  December/January,  and  nurse  them  until  July/August  and  it  is  around  this  time  that  we  see  the  newly  weaned  pups  on  our  beaches,  in  surf  breaks  or  hanging  around  the  wharf  looking  for  an  easy  meal.

We  get  called  to  treat  a  few  seal  pups  every  year,  some  are  injured  and  others  are  thin  and  still  adjusting  to  hunting  for  themselves.  Often  the  injuries  are  minor  and  treatable  with  long  acting  antibiotics,  pain  relief  and  a  day  of  rest  in  our  isolation  ward  before  being  released.

Despite  their  disarmingly  cute  big  eyes,  curious  glances  and  relaxed  nature,  they  are  wild  animals.  They  have  large,  pointed  teeth  similar  to  a  dogs,  and  powerful  jaws  for  crushing  and  chewing  prey.  Seals  can  be  unpredictable  and  will  charge  and  bite  if  they  feel  threatened.  Their  mouths  are  full  of  bacteria  and  bite  wounds  fester  quickly-­  If  you  get  bitten  please  seek  medical  attention!

If  you  see  a  seal  and  are  concerned  about  its  health  we  advise  you  to  assess  its  condition Â

from  a  safe  distance.  Take  note  of  DQ\ LQMXULHV RQ LWV ERG\ RU Ă&#x20AC;LSSHUV and  its  weight  and  call  the  vet  clinic.

If  you  see  a  seal  and  it  appears  healthy  and  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  in  a  public  area  or  in  any  danger  it  may  just  be  â&#x20AC;&#x153;hauled  outâ&#x20AC;?  and  resting.  In  this  case  we  advise  you  to  call  the  Department  of  Conservation.

Please  do  not  feed  them  as  they  become  humanized  very  quickly,  and  it  is  an  important  developmental  stage  for  the  pups  and  they  may  never  learn  to  hunt  for  themselves.  Keep  children  and  dogs  well  away  for  their  own  safety  as  well  as  the  seals,  and  keep  bystanders  to  a  minimum  to  ensure  the  seal  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  get  stressed.  When  the  vet  or  vet  nurse  arrives  they  will  assess  the  seal  and  decide  the  best  course  of  action.  Often  this  requires  minimal  intervention  as  advised  by  the  Department  of  Conservation,  and  also  preserves  their  wild  nature  and  instincts.

Wildlife  is  an  important  part  of  our  Raglan  area  and  we  appreciate  the  opportunity  to  work  with  the  community  to  keep  our  wildlife  healthy.

Studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; learning is enhanced through teaching role

What  better  way  to  develop  an  understanding  of  how  learners  learn  by  building  up  knowledge  of  how  teachers  teach.   Since  the  beginning  to  Term  2  the  Year  9  students  have  been  teaching  Te  Reo  Maori  in  the  Year  0-­6  (mainstream)  syndicate  of  our  school.   They  have  had  to  develop  knowledge  about  the  structure  of  lessons  and  build  on  different  ideas  about  keeping  their  students  engaged  in  their  lessons.   Not  only  are  they  building  relationships  with  the  Year  0-­6  students,  they  are  using  their  knowledge  about  teaching  to  help  them  build  a  better  understanding  of  how  they  learn.

As  Term  3  progresses,  we  have  also  included  students  from  our  Te  Ropu  Aroha  ki  te  Reo  to  support  classes  in  the  Year  0-­6  area.   The  spin  offs  for  this  innovative  initia-­ tive  are  far  reaching.   However,  the  most  positive  is  the  fostering  of  connections  between  the  different  areas  of  our  school  through  the  medium  of  Te  Reo  Maori.

Whangamata Champs On  Wednesday  the  10th  of  July  a  group  of  50  stu-­ dents  travelled  to  Whangamata  for  the  annual  sports  exchange.  From  the  very  start  we  knew  it  was  going  to  be  extremely  GLIÂżFXOW WR EULQJ EDFN WKH ZLQ :KDQJDPDWD KDG D ODUJH selection  of  players,  the  home  advantage  and  a  couple  of  ¿UVW ÂżIWHHQ UXJE\ SOD\HUV *HWWLQJ DQ DZD\ YLFWRU\ KDV RQO\ EHHQ GRQH WZLFH EHIRUH WKH ÂżUVW WLPH ZDV WKH VHFRQG \HDU RI WKH VSRUWV H[FKDQJH DQG DJDLQ ÂżYH \HDUV DJR EXW ZH were  determined  to  win.  By  the  second  day  we  thought  we  had  it  in  the  bag.  We  only  needed  one  more  win  so  we  played  the  rugby  but  the  DGYDQWDJH RI WKH ÂżUVW ÂżIWHHQ NLFNHG LQ DQG WKH\ WRRN RXW WKH rugby.  Next  was  the  girls  basket-­ball  but  again  they  were  too  good.  Volleyball  is  usually  one  of  the  deciding  sports  and  this  one  was  the  most  important  game  of  the  exchange.  With  only  three  year  ten  boys,  we  had  to  grab  some  year  HLJKWV DQG QLQHV 7KH ÂżUVW VHW ZDV LQWHQVH EXW 5DJODQ managed  to  take  it  out.  The  second  set  was  just  as  hard  but  we  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  give  up  and  took  out  the  win,  and  the  whole  exchange.  So  for  only  the  third  time  ever  the  away  team  had  taken  the  victory!

Q & A with...

Montel Martin Q  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  How  old  are  you?

A  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  I  am  13  years  old.

Q  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  Have  you  ever  taught  before?

A  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  No Q  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  What  class  do  you  teach  Te  Reo  Maori  to?

A  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  D1,  which  is  a  Year  2/3  class Q  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  Tell  me  something  that  you  enjoy  teaching  to  your  class?

A  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  I  like  teaching  the  kupu  hou  (new  words)  because  when  they  struggle  with  the  pronounciation  I  can  help  them  with  it.  After  they  have  practiced  it  they  start  speaking  Maori  with  PRUH FRQÂżGHQFH 4 Âą :KHQ \RX WDXJKW IRU WKH ÂżUVW WLPH ZKDW ZDV WKH scariest  part?

A  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  I  was  nervous  because  I  had  never  taught  before.  I  was  worried  that  the  class  would  not  listen.

Q  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  What  have  you  learnt  so  far  about  teaching?

A  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  Teaching  is  fun  and  my  class  is  really  well  behaved.  It  is  important  to  be  organised.  I  also  learnt  that  the  students  enjoy  learning  through  playing  games  like  Wharewhare  (BINGO).

Q  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  What  has  your  teaching  done  to  help  you  understand  your  own  learning?

A  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  When  I  am  in  my  own  classes  and  we  do  an  activity  I  think  about  whether  it  would  be  a  good  activity  for  my  Te  Reo  teaching  lessons.  I  also  know  now  the  importance  of  learning  intentions  and  success  criteria  and  how  they  make  it  easier  for  students  to  know  what  they  need  to  do  to  succeed  in  their  learning.

My First Day of Teaching $V , ZDV ZDONLQJ WR P\ ÂżUVW OHVVRQ RQ WHDFKLQJ VRPH NXSX KRX WR WKH OLWWOH NLGGLHV LQ P\ PLQG , ZDV ZRUU\LQJ ZKHWKHU , ZRXOG VFUHZ XS DQG WKH ÂľZKDW LIVÂś As  we  approached  the  class  room  door,  and  knocked  on  the  door  we  could  hear  all  the  children  talking  to  each  other.   They  sounded  excited  and  as  we  fully  walked  in  we  saw  heaps  of  smiles  and  all  the  worrying  and  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what  ifsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  just  felt  like  taking  a  heavy  school  bag  off.  Â

Student teaching in action

As  we  introduced  ourselves  to  the  kids  they  looked  en-­ gaged  so  we  blew  through  it  as  if  we  were  already  teach-­ ers.   But  I  think  the  most  challenging  thing  would  have  been  the  waiata  because  some  of  the  children  couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  say  the  words  but  we  did  get  through  it.   Now  I  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  wait  to  see  and  team  teach  again.   Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  like  I  got  this  adrenaline  rush.   Over  all,  if  I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  Reece  and  Bhumika,  I  would  be  still  standing  at  the  door.   I  think  having  my  friends  helped  me  achieve.
