Matapihi Kindergarten celebrates Internatiomal Mud Day: Teachers Joel and Casey with children Alliot Goodwin and Lucia Quilter.

Dear Editor Lorenzen Bay The bay has been central to my enjoyment of Raglan since I arrived here in 1999.

I'm not sure why I came to Raglan, possibly because I'd bought a trailer sailor - Four Seasons - which was too big for Hamilton Lake. Later I fell in love with the town, assisted by the one time 'Molasses,' now 'Black Sands,' and the Friday evening's music and dance. Lorenzen Bay in 1999 was mainly just a view for bayside residents, and a sanctity for a lonely heron. (I think it's found a mate now.) Moored boats have become more regular and the bayside has become a summer playground for day visitors, quite a crowd at times. It is a pity that

the local council has not kept up with the changes and increase of usage. The walkway at the water's edge is very rough stone, hard on the feet, particularly my elderly ones. Similarly the steps from the seabed to the walkway are a penance for those entering or leaving the water. I think Waikato District Council are responsible for maintenance of its area. How about catching up with the increased summer use and making walking less painful? A nice smooth pathway and access steps would be a minor development and small expense for your councillors to support.

film screening at the Old School Arts Centre in mid July.

Three Wise Cousins is a comedy love story about Adam (Kiwi actor Neil Amituana'i), a 22 year old New Zealand born Samoan guy who falls for Mary. On a 'chance' encounter he learns that Mary only wants to go out with a 'real island guy' - not a plastic one.

Adam realises that to get rid of his 'plastic' ways and impress Mary, he'll have to travel to Samoa and have his cousins teach him how to be a real island guy.

The journey sees Adam enlisting the help of his cousins Tavita (Fesui Viliamu) and Mose (Vito Vito). They teach him how to climb coconut trees, work a plantation and carry out chores in what is an eye-wateringly funny adventure.

Wide exposure for Raglan artist’s concept of Matariki The bank will also make use of the design on everything from elevator screens to social media contracts and media releases.

Simon describes his work as a contemporary artist as a balance of three disciplines – moko or tattoos, sculpture in wood or stone, and abstract painting in acrylics.

Local examples of his work include a mural unveiled last year outside the Raglan Library and a stainless steel sculpture at the campground end of the Kopua footbridge. He’s also currently helping with a carved waharoa (an entrance or gateway) that will welcome people to Raglan Area School’s 150th jubilee at Labour Weekend.

He’s a past student himself, and did art there under Tania Mills’ tutelage before going on to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree at Toihoukura, the Māori contemporary art school in Gisborne.

Simon, who set up a studio/gallery on the approaches to town in 2013, says it’s a challenging road as an artist but reveals he’s now “busy enough” here without having to take on commissions.

Edith Symes ‘Matariki2016’: from left; Richard Nelson (ANZ Regional Manager Retail Tauranga), David Graham (ANZ General Manager Northern Region), Courtney Marsden (ANZ Team Leader), Simon Te Wheoro (ATM surround artist), Lesleigh Ricardi (ANZ Sales and Service Manager) and David Harrison (ANZ Head of Maori Relationships).

R

aglan contemporary Māori visual artist Simon Te Wheoro can almost bank on one of his latest works capturing the attention of plenty of people in the street – and with ready money.

But his striking piece of art reflecting the rising of the Matariki stars and the beginning of a New Year is not for sale: it was commissioned by the ANZ Bank and forms the surrounds of three “specially selected” North Island ATMs. The 32-year-old reckons it’s “awesome” that a corporate company has acknowledged

and gotten behind Matariki for three years now by creating the themed surrounds.

“I feel fortunate and happy to be part of the project,” he adds of his selection as this year’s featured artist. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase my work and at the same time acknowledge Whaingaroa.”

Simon’s design incorporates several customary Māori patterns, and features seven moko kauae designs to represent Matariki and her six sisters – a common version of the Matariki story.

He says the two mountains featured at the base of the ATMs to acknowledge Papatuanuku or mother earth are “sacred

landmarks that form part of my genealogy” – Karioi and Mauao, the extinct volcano at Tauranga commonly known simply as the Mount.

Simon reveals a cousin put his name forward for the ANZ art competition a few months ago. “They really liked my work and I got a phone call soon after,” he says.

In a “good weekend’s work” he developed a coloured A3 sketch which the bank then arranged to put in graphic format.

A final check by Simon, “a few small changes” and the surrounds which now grace ATMs in central Tauranga, downtown Wellington and Kaitaia were in production.

Changes to proposed Freedom Camping Bylaw

W

aikato District Council has removed permitted areas for freedom camping in Raglan from its proposed bylaw, and banned more locations.

The council made the changes to its proposed Freedom Camping Bylaw in response to submissions regarding the new legislation.

Council received 90 submissions on the proposed bylaw: 50 against, 29 for and 11 neutral.

The council is drafting the new bylaw in line with the Freedom Camping Act 2011, and it can only restrict or prohibit freedom camping to protect an area, protect the health and safety of people, or protect access.

A large number of submitters did not support the permitted areas for freedom camping that were identified for Raglan: the Wainui Rd car park near the fire station, parking adjacent to 1-5 Stewart St and the western end of Stewart St. The reasons included concerns regarding obstruction of access by emergency services personnel, safety issues, crime, noise and rubbish.

“In response to these submissions staff recommend that the permitted areas in Raglan should be removed,” the council said in its summary of submissions.

Submitters also put forward more areas where they thought freedom camping should be prohibited.

“Where the purpose for placing a prohibition fitted with the (Freedom Camping) Act they have been included in the bylaw,” the summary states.

Prohibited areas in the draft bylaw now include the car park near the fire station, the

wharf, Earles Pl, Greenslade Rd and Lorenzen Bay Rd and Sunshine Rise.

Other prohibited areas for freedom camping, as outlined in the proposed bylaw, are: Manu Bay and surrounding area, Whale Bay, Tohora Cl, Calvert Pl, Ngarunui Beach Reserve, Kopua Domain, Cliff St, Puriri St, Riria Kereopa Memorial Dr, Wainamu Rd, Papanui Point car park, Swann Access Rd, Wainui Rd, Ruapuke Beach Rd, Bridal Veil Falls car park.

The fire service, Raglan police and St John Ambulance service all opposed the use of the Wainui Rd car park as a freedom camping site because it would impede operations by emergency services.

Roy Breeze, of the New Zealand Fire Service, recommended that the car park should be listed “as an area where freedom camping is prohibited at all times”.

“The station houses two fire appliances and an emergency response ute. When a callout is signalled by the station siren, up to 28 brigade members respond,” he wrote in his submission.

“A callout can occur at any time of the day or night, on any day of the week.”

He said the area also had to be kept clear for the rescue helicopter, which uses the landing pad outside the station. “When this occurs, it usually involves a life or death situation where time management is critical.”

David Hall, on behalf of Raglan Police, opposed the bylaw.

“The proposed areas on Wainui Rd and Stewart St are within the liquor ban area for the town. There is potential for campers to breach the liquor ban whilst living in their caravans,” he wrote in his submission.

He said the congregation of campers would attract other people and “potentially

raise the risk of disorderly behaviour (and) of petty crime to take place.”

The Raglan Chamber of Commerce said it did not support freedom camping of any type.

Chairman Dave Currie, in his submission, said freedom camping affected businesses and residents alike. “The proposed solution of the Wainui Rd car park will cause financial harm to established businesses such as Raglan Backpackers and Kopua Holiday Park. And will ultimately damage the aesthetic and amenity values of Raglan.

“Freedom Camping has caused major harm to other New Zealand cities. We suggest the Waikato District Council join the rest of the local government organisations to lobby the central government for a law change.”

Some submitters requested that the entire town of Raglan become a prohibited area, but council said this was “not in keeping with the mobile home friendly approach” that it had chosen to take.

Council also stated that a blanket ban on freedom camping was not permitted.

The proposed bylaw currently allows for freedom camping in self-contained vehicles to occur throughout the district for up to three nights, except in prohibited areas.

The council also made changes to its definition of self-contained vehicle, with the proposed bylaw now stating “a self-contained vehicle must be equipped with a toilet that is secured when travelling. The toilet must be readily usable within the vehicle”.

The use of any reserve for freedom camping will assessed as part of the reserve management plan process. This includes the Raglan Rugby Grounds.

The Policy and Regulatory Committee hearing of the Proposed Freedom Camping Bylaw was heard in Ngaruawahia yesterday.

Victoria Beeby and Di Jennings load up on some of their free cloth bags at the Whaingaroa Environment Centre.

T

wo Raglan women are doing their bit to eradicate the use of plastic shopping bags in Raglan – and they want your help.

Victoria Beeby and Di Jennings have started the Bag It Raglan sewing group, and to date its volunteers have made about 80 reusable and brightly-coloured cloth bags to go out into the community, free of charge.

The sewing group, which is supported

by Plastic Bag Free Raglan, started on June 1, initially getting together once a fortnight to churn out the homemade bags. There is a big push this month, in conjunction with Plastic Free July, with seven four-hour sewing sessions scheduled to take place in the Supper Room of the Raglan Town Hall.

Victoria said the sewing group, which provides machines and materials to make the bags, was in need of some more helping hands.

“You don’t even have to know how to sew,” she said.

There is plenty of cutting and ironing that can be done, or making cups of tea.

Victoria first started making bags from home, alone, after getting bombarded with information online about how terribly the earth was being treated by the human race.

“I was so upset, overwhelmed.”

So, she decided to do something good for the environment, something small, a reusable bag, and gifted her wares to

Whaingaroa Organic Kai and the Herbal Dispensary for customers to use.

June Penn, part of the Plastic Bag Free Raglan team and Whaingaroa Environment Centre, said she approached Victoria about her bag making and invited her to help get single-use plastic shopping bags out of Raglan for good.

“It’s so much bigger and better than what I could have done on my own,” said Victoria.

The Plastic Bag Free Raglan initiative aims to make Raglan plastic bag free by July 2017, paid for eight sewing machines for the sewing group, and Di, a former fashion designer, was keen to come on board as the No. 2 of the Bag It Raglan sewing venture.

The bags are available for free from the Whaingaroa Environment Centre.

“This is one of the solutions we are able to provided for free for the community.”

Plastic Bag Free Raglan (PBFR) is working with local businesses to encourage them to provide a sustainble alternative to single-use plastic bags. The PBFR team has been busy researching and testing possible solutions to present to businesses and the community.

“If the community refuses single-use plastic bags, businesses will respond,” she said.

Of 332 community members that responded to a survey in May, 93 percent said they would support a plastic shopping bag free Raglan.

Ninety Raglan businesses out of 113 responded to a similar survey.

June said 59 percent of the businesses that currently provide bags of some sort said they would support a plastic bag free initiative.

“It’s encouraging.”

Raglan consumers use 20,000 single-use plastic shopping bags per week in the five months of summer.

Scientists estimate that every square mile of ocean contains about 46,000 pieces of floating plastic. Single use plastic shopping bags pose a major threat to waterways and oceans, polluting beaches and harming marine life.

“We don’t need plastic bags, it’s a behaviour,” said June. Banning plastic bags was “a big mindset change, a habit change”.

“We can make a difference at community level,” said Di. “And other people might look at what Raglan is up to and say we are going to do that, too.”

The three women want plastic-free to be a part of Raglan’s brand: Raglan by the Sea, a sea free of plastic.

Inger Vos Plastic Bag Free Whaingaroa Raglan is hosting the film Bag It: Is Your Life Too Plastic? at the Raglan Old Arts School Centre on Sunday, July 10 and Sunday, July 24, including a free afternoon tea.

Matapihi student Ravi Rao on the mud slide.

Children who spend time outside every day are healthier, happier, more creative, less stressed and more alert than those who don’t. To add to our usual repertoire of outdoor activity, we get right behind International Mud Day at Matapihi Kindergarten.

This is a day for children and early childhood teachers all over the world to celebrate nature, the glorious earth beneath our feet, and the joy of making a mess by getting really muddy. Early in the day we headed off to our ‘wild spaces’ to make the most of the natural resources all around us.

Some children stood back and observed for a while before the mud’s magnetic appeal enticed them in. Not only children, but the teachers too, were invigorated by the day’s activities.

The mud pit, the mud slide, or the watery mud puddles gave everyone the chance to connect with the Earth. The joy of those involved is evident in their bright faces, sparkling eyes, wild cries and energetic movements.

These are moments these children will remember forever. All their senses have been engaged and they have been able to experience delight in a way that only children and the young at heart can.

At Matapihi we believe that when children are given ample opportunity to love and connect with nature, they are motivated to care for, and develop respect for, our natural world and all living things. This supports our Early Childhood curriculum which aims to support children “to grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society.”

Supermarket group supporting Maori Language Week

FreshChoice and SuperValue Supermarkets are celebrating Māori Language Week (Te Wiki o te Reo Māori) by providing downloadable Māori language posters, colouring resources and matching cards and sound bites.

All the posters have QR codes which link to the te reo Māori word.

The initiative is being applauded by Te

Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori – the Māori Language Commission.

There are 30 coloured posters and colouring pages of everyday food and other items that are found in a supermarket. The 30 items have also been collated into a downloadable matching cards sets which can be used as a memory game. There is sound bites of the 30 items to encourage parent and their children to learn te reo Māori

together.

The resources, which have been translated by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori are designed to help parents and educators teach children and themselves te reo Māori and engage with tamariki about words, colours and letters.

All FreshChoice and SuperValue Supermarkets for the week commencing the 4th July will have the posters by the 30 items to encourage customers to learn the Māori word. The colouring in pages will also be available for customers to pick up.

Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori chief executive Ngahiwi Apanui said it was great to see te reo Māori in places where New Zealanders shop every day.

“The Māori Language Commission’s vision is to hear and see te reo Māori resonate in places and spaces where the language isn’t visible or heard and we commend SuperValue and FreshChoice Supermarkets for encouraging their customers to learn and use the language.”

Fresh exercise class offered: Strengthen and Stretch A

D I R E C T O R Y

new exercise class is being offered in Raglan, catering to maturing bodies and those recovering from a physical ailment.

Strengthen and Stretch provides a space for movements specifically designed for the aging body and is being held weekly on Wednesday’s at Activate Church from 1.30 to 2.30pm.

Instructor Julie Cockram has recently returned to Raglan. With training from Sports Waikato, she was the Keep-Fit instructor for the Raglan Light Exercise Group for 6 years prior to her move away. Julie is looking forward to sharing her passion of keeping maturing bodies flexible and strong.

Strengthen and Stretch features a warm-up with sitting exercises using stretchy bands or light weights, and incorporates standing movements, using the chair for stability if needed. The class focuses on stretching all muscle groups, rotating joints, balance work and core strengthening.

Julie has a physical ailment herself with her right hand, which she has had to adapt exercises to. This has helped her to understand the importance and need to continue to exercise even with a disability.

The exercises are tailored to suit individual needs, providing a more one-on-one approach through the class.

As part of the hour-long class, nutritious refreshments will be provided afterwards, along with a short discussion. Julie will share her knowledge about good healthy nutrition, sharing the recipes for the snacks so participants can make them at home.

She will also share what she learned from her own personal experience with detoxifying from pain medication and keeping the body healthy and happy.

Julie plans to keep class numbers to a minimum of 12 to meet the one-on-one and individual needs.

his month at The Herbal Dispensary we are supporting Plastic Free July.

Plastic Free July aims to raise awareness of the problems and amount of single-use disposable plastic in our lives and challenges people to do something about it By 2050 it’s estimated that there will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans. Most comes from land and was once in our hands.

Suzanne, Bronwyn’s mum, has been diligently collecting end of line fabric cuts and sewing them to make reusable cotton bags. When you purchase goods in our store, you will be given one of Suzanne’s bags to reuse every time you go shopping. We also have special Herbal Dispensary organic cotton bags which you can redeem with your loyalty card.

Other ways you can reduce your

plastic consumption are • Use glass jars to fill up with bulk bin goods • Bring your own clean cup for your juice and save 50 cents.

• Pick up 10 or more pieces of rubbish as you walk along the beach • Use biodegradable doggy do bags which you can find in store.

• Buy ecologically sustainable products such as biodegradable sanitary items Also this month we have reentered the Waipa Business Awards.

Last year we were finalists in 3 categories and the winner of the Small Business category. You can vote for us in the Customer choice award by texting WAIPA Herbal to 4040 and also go in the draw to win $100 phone credit. Thank you Whaingaroa community for your ongoing support.

The latest arrival to Hamilton Zoo will be on display over the school holidays. A male southern white rhinoceros calf has arrived in late June after his mother’s 16-month pregnancy.

The calf brings the total number of white rhinos at Hamilton Zoo to six. The male calf joins his mother Kito, father Kruger, and females Imani, Moesha and her daughter Jamila.

Team Leader of Ungulates (hooved animals) Aaron Gilmore says the calf is healthy, and very keen to feed from Kito.

“He’s a determined little guy, weighing around 63 kilos at birth and already showing his strength,” says Mr Gilmore.

“Depending on weather and his continued growth, school holiday visitors will have the chance to see him in the exhibit with his mother for short periods of time each day.”

“This calf is a very important part of the Australasian breeding programme, and will aid longterm conservation efforts at Hamilton Zoo,” says Mr Gilmore.
