And  rather  than  simply  dragging  mooring  blocks  to  shore  every  year  or  two  to  replace  chains,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  become  a  matter  of  spending  about  $1000  to  bring  another  boat  around  from  Kawhia  and  lift  them  from  the  water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  more  and  more  costs,â&#x20AC;?  he  complains. Â

Aaron  sold  what  he  calls  his  â&#x20AC;&#x153;mean  machineâ&#x20AC;?,  the  55-­foot  Maverick,  last  year  in  favour  of  operating  the  smaller  Taranui  in  a  bid  to  reduce  costs.  But  while  he  says  things  worked  out  okay  for  a  time,  in  the  end  he  lost  heart  and  decided  to  give  up  on  managing  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;pubs  and  clubsâ&#x20AC;?  group  charters  that  have  been  his  livelihood  for  the  past  13  years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dealing  with  the  bar  was  slowly  getting  to  me  too,â&#x20AC;?  he  says  of  the  safety  issues  involved  in  looking  after  groups  of  12.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  over  the  responsibility  side  of  it.â&#x20AC;?  Aaron  ran  commercial  trawlers  for  12  years  with  Hartstones  before  setting  up  his  own  business,  Megabite  Fishing  Charters.

Now  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  opting  for  an  easier  lifestyle  with  no  pressure  back  on  his  farm  at  Te  Pahu  where  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  based  for  four  years.

Aaronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  family  man,  with  kids  aged  nine  and  10.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  missed  a  lot  of  my  weekends  (with  them),â&#x20AC;?  he  admits.

Hefty rates bills – but little early public fuss 7KH ¿UVW UDWH GHPDQGV RI :DLNDWR 'LVWULFW &RXQFLO¶V QHZ ¿QDQFLDO \HDU EHJDQ WXUQLQJ XS LQ 5DJODQ UHVLGHQWV¶ PDLO ODVW 6DWXUGD\ ± DQG E\ HDUO\ WKLV ZHHN WKHUH¶G EHHQ QR UHSRUWV RI SHRSOH IDLQWLQJ GHVSLWH SUHGLFWLRQV VRPH UDWHSD\HUV KHUH FRXOG IDFH KLNHV DSSURDFKLQJ SHU FHQW Though the council has maintained average Raglan rises for the 2012/13 year will be in a 3.8 to 10 per cent bracket, community board chairman Rodger Gallagher emphasised last month that various rates were set to spiral up by much more than the 2.3 per cent general rate rise.

And he tipped that could spell overall rates hikes of up to 30 per cent for pockets of Raglan residents whose capital value (CVs) had shot up in the recent revaluation process.

As its deadline loomed this week the Chronicle had yet to hear of a rise of quite that magnitude – though one of 23 per cent was not too far off the mark – and about the only person publicly kicking up a fuss, though obviously lightheartedly, was Rodger himself.

The potential for any residents’ revolt here over rates appears to have been lessened by the council’s 11th-­hour introduction of a rates remission policy giving relief to any homeowner facing a hike of at least $300 and at the same time of at least 10 per cent.

It’s missing out on that relief by less than $3 which Rodger was complaining about, albeit none too seriously, on his website this week.

“Automatic remission kicks in where there’s a rise of $300;; ours was $2.90 under that, so we miss out even though our rates went up more than 10 per cent,” he wrote of their Cambrae Road property.

His comments came after council watchdog John Lawson revealed that the rates on his Cliff Street property had gone up a whopping $598 or 23 percent, and that he’d been allowed a rates remission of just $16.71.

“A rates remission – you are lucky, John,” the community board chairman wrote tongue-­ in-­cheek in reply. But he added as a footnote:

“Don’t understand how you get only $16.71 rebate.

Perhaps council staff can explain.”

Other ratepayers contacted by the Chronicle mostly faced lesser but still substantial rates hikes, commonly around the $200 mark.

One typical case was a property whose CV had fallen $25,000 to $435,000 but whose rates were up $206 – an example of how even though there’s been a one per cent average drop in Raglan residential values, there are few chances of anyone around town getting rates relief simply because the percentage drop across the Waikato district was much greater.

Some other residents were still in the dark at the weekend as they’d received nothing from council in WKH PDLO DQG KDG RQO\ QRQ QRWL¿HG FKDQJHV LQ WKHLU direct debit amounts to go on.

One Greenslade Road homeowner said she’d noticed her weekly direct debit for her harbourside property had climbed from $63.83 to $70.64, indicating a $350-­odd rates rise despite a fall in capital value.

However she also had a nearby cottage, the CV of which had plunged but whose weekly direct debit had fallen by only $2.50 a week. She observed dryly that rates “did not fall in quite the same proportion”.

A Moonlight Bay homeowner had also heard nothing from council yet but noticed their fortnightly direct debit had risen $5 despite a steep drop in the property’s CV. Meanwhile there’s good news of sorts from WKH FRXQFLO ± FRQ¿UPDWLRQ WKDW 5DJODQ UDWHSD\HUV won’t be forking out even more to council, through the introduction of water metering, until the middle of next year. Water & facilities general manager Richard Bax says water metering is not set to be introduced here until July 1 2013.

Rodger Gallagher has estimated that with successive increases in charges and the introduction of metering, Raglan residents will end up paying triple what they did in 2007 for the privilege of having water. A.T.

The  Requiem  Mass  at  the  Church  of  the  Holy  Name  in  James  Street  on  Monday  followed  the  death  of  Nick  Glynn  in  a  collision  between  his  car  and  a  truck  just  north  of  Ngaruawahia  about  11pm  the  previous  Tuesday.

Huntly  police  were  still  appealing  this  week  for  witnesses  to  the  tragedy  but  said  initial  indications  were  that  Mr  Glynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  car  had  crossed  the  centreline  as  he  headed  north.

Mr  Glynn  featured  in  a  Chronicle  story  last  year  on  the  formation  of  the  Whaingaroa  Bee  Club.  He  was  described  as  a  commercial  bee  hobbyist  with  around  40  hives.

Meantime  members  of  the  Whaingaroa  waka  ama  club  have  been  mourning  recently  the  tragic  loss  of  another  of  their  prominent  paddlers.  Te  Akau  farmer  Iain  McIntyre  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  who  was  in  his  40s  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  died  when  his  tractor  rolled  forward,  knocking  him  over  and  pinning  him  to  the  ground.   Police  said  the  fatality  happened  when  he  stopped  his  tractor  on  a  downward  slope  of  his  sheep  and  beef  farm  and  went  to  open  a  gate.    Mr  McIntyre  had  been  in  the  same  crew  as  Piripi  Kereopa,  who  suffered  a  fatal  heart  attack  while  competing  in  the  Whaingaroa  Hoe  regatta  in  late  May.

 In  an  exciting  development  for  the  club  High  School  age  students  can  join  the  club  with  full  playing  rights,  following  a  recent  decision  by  Raglan  Club  Inc.,  which  owns  the  bowling  club,  to  accept  junior  members  .  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  junior  bowlers  are  showing  real  talent  at  the  game  with  some  looking  at  possible  Waikato-­ level  selectionâ&#x20AC;?,  says  bowling  club  President  Ruth  Rawlinson.

Following  the  formalities  a  friendly  club  roll-­up  will  kick-­start  the  season.   That  same  evening  a  dinner  will  be  held  at  the  club  rooms  in  James  Street,  open  to  bowlers,  business  house  bowlers,  friends  and  family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  really  hope  to  see  many  of  our  loyal  business  house  players.   Some  have  been  playing  bowls  for  years.   Everyone  is  welcomeâ&#x20AC;?,  says  Ruth.

WHY SHOULD WE TREAT OLD CATS DIFFERENTLY TO YOUNG CATS? As cats age all of their body systems are affected.

Reduction in exercise may result in reduced muscle tone, which may further reduce the catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to jump, climb or exercise. There may also be a stiffening of joints because of chronic degenerative joint damage.

When coupled with a reduced metabolic rate, lack of exercise can result in a fall in energy requirements of up to 40%. If a cat maintains a good appetite its daily food intake must therefore be reduced to prevent excessive weight gain.

DOES MY OLD CAT STILL NEED TO HAVE ANNUAL BOOSTER VACCINATIONS? Although a relatively small amount is known about the feline immune system, it is generally assumed that with age their immune function deteriorates. This may in turn UHVXOW LQ D UHGXFHG DELOLW\ WR Ă&#x20AC;JKW LQIHFWLRQ RU VFUHHQ IRU neoplastic (cancer) cells. Regular booster vaccinations are generally recommended and prompt treatment of disease is essential.

WHAT DISEASES DO OLD CATS SUFFER FROM? The major diseases seen in older cats are hormonal disorders (such as hyperthyroidism and diabetes mellitus) kidney disease, neoplasia (cancer), infections such as periodontal disease and arthritis.

It is important to remember that while young cats usually only have one disorder at a time, this is often not the case for older cats, where diagnoses and treatment may be complicated by the concurrence of multiple interacting disease processes. While it is true to say that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old age itself is not a diseaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, it is important that we pay particular attention to our older cats, so that if they do develop a disease we can recognize it, treat it early and so maintain their quality of life for as long as possible.

ridden out of western town Downtown  Raglan  may  not  have  seen  the  last  after  all  of  Mr  Four  Squareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;big  smiley  faceâ&#x20AC;?,   as  he  was  described  last  week  by  poet  Hayley  Hamilton  in  a  lament  to  his  passing  posted  on  Jet  Collectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  window  directly  opposite  Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  newly  branded  SuperValue  supermarket.

There  looks  to  be  some  truth  in  rumours  that  another  Four  Square  is  to  be  built  just  around  the  corner  in  Bankart  Street,  where  a  large  brick  house  was  recently  demolished.

Ken  Curtis,   a  co-­owner  of  the  now  bare  section,  told  the  Chronicle  this  week  a  commercial  building  ZRXOG JR XS RQ WKH VLWH EXW VDLG KH FRXOG QRW FRQ¿UP rumours  the  iconic  Four  Square  brand  was  about  to  make  a  reappearance  in  Raglan.

That  despite  the  fact  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  former  owner-­ operator  of  both  the  Waihi  Beach  and  more  recently  Pirongia  Four  Square  stores. Âł1RWKLQJÂśV KDSSHQHG \HW QRWKLQJÂśV FRQÂżUPHG nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  guaranteed,â&#x20AC;?  he  cautioned.

Mr  Curtis,  whose  wife  Lesley  is  also  understood  to  be  a  co-­owner  of  the  Bankart  Street  property,  said  speculation  was  premature  and  he  had  yet  to  apply  to  Foodstuffs,  the  Kiwi  company  which  established  the  Four  Square  grocery  stores  back  in  1924.    A  Four  Square  was  in  the  pipeline,  yes,  but  â&#x20AC;&#x153;it  could  end  up  a  hardware  storeâ&#x20AC;?,  he  hedged.

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE MY OLD CAT AS HAPPY AS POSSIBLE? Most cats age gracefully and require few changes to their general routine, however they do not respond well to change, if changes are to be made they must be introduced slowly.

With the onset of colder weather make sure your cat has access to a warm, draught-free bed, situated where it can sleep safely without fear of disturbance.

IIt is advisable to feed older cats on a highly palatable, reduced protein diet with constant access to fresh drinking water. Regular raw meaty bones are essential to maintain dental hygiene.

As catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; age some show a reduced ability to control urination and bowel motions. To reduce the risk of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;accidentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; it may be necessary to allow access to an indoor litter box.

If you have any concerns, please feel free to call in and talk to the friendy team at the clinic.
