Kaivolution: The Raglan House's new manager, Mike Rarere with a box from Kaivolution. Story on page 4.

Dear Editor I was watching a DVD about the slums of Rio recently. The city has a particular relevance for me as my first trip to sea in the British Merchant Navy when I was seventeen had Rio as a stop. The only part of the city that I visited was an expensive home high upon the corcovado, just below the statue of Christ. Below that were the rambling slums that the DVD portrayed: The slums where the young lived a life on the streets.

They were resilient and had joy in their lives, including dance where they moved with grace and rhythm. Later I saw a Māori group show the same qualities. At the average social dance you see only a few examples of this.

I wonder if as we develop more and more complex ways of life, we lose some of our natural selves. Earlier ways of life required bodily coordination for hunting and

preparing meals, and this can be improved through regular dancing to good rhythm, in a world where hunting and actually preparing food at home become less common.

Takeaway food is all too easy for saving time and effort. But then some people lead such cluttered lives that they have little option but to get food in fast.

We also get worried if we think our food might have been spoilt by contamination by other substances. Our ancestors would not have survived long enough to produce us if they had needed to be that careful.

Regional fund for emergency services saves lifeguard patrol

P

aid lifeguarding duties at Raglan’s Ngarunui Beach is safe for the next two years, thanks to Waikato Regional Council agreeing to establish a fund of $630,000 for emergency rescue services in its territory.

Surf Lifesaving Northern Region (SLNR) acting CEO Matt Williams says the council’s decision to include a rate of $3.74 per property in its 2015-2025 Long Term Plan for the fund has provided certainty around the regional lifeguarding service, which sees the main beaches in the Waikato region patrolled Monday to Friday during the summer months.

Last summer, these paid patrols at Raglan Beach, which usually run from Labour Weekend to Easter, were at a risk of being cut short because of a funding shortage of $41,000, after Hamilton City Council refused to support the service. In the end, Waipa District Council and an anonymous donor stumped up with the shortfall.

SLNR has been lobbying the council for years to increase its funding contribution so it didn’t have to go cap in hand to other councils.

Last year, SLNR had asked the regional council for $260,000 for its summer patrols but had got only $25,000.

Raglan man killed in crash on SH23

Now, SLNR will receive $354,600 a year, $175,400 will go to Coastguard, and the Auckland Helicopter Trust and Philips Search and Rescue will each receive $50,000.

“It’s a significant increase in the amount of money for the regional lifeguard service,” says Mr Williams.

“It’s enough to provide an increase in service at Raglan, Sunset Beach, Hot Water Beach, and extensions of service at Cathedral Cove when needed.”

However, he says Surf Lifesaving will continue to try and build on its relationship with Waikato Regional Council, and lobby central government, because there are still costs not being met.

“Everyone wants to use us but no-one wants to take responsibility of us,” says Mr Williams.

“We have gone beyond being a charity.

“We could give it the death test … but we have to continue because there is a moral cost.”

SLNR had originally asked the regional council for $601,500 so it could also provide funding to the volunteer life saving clubs.

The volunteer lifeguards patrol the beaches during the weekends for free.

The proposal to create an emergency fund for rescue services in the Waikato

was released for public feedback in March this year, and the council received 549 submissions on it.

The council gave ratepayers three different funding options to choose from, and said its preferred option was for a lower funding package of $400,000 a year, at a per property rate of $2.37.

Mr Williams says 94 per cent of the submissions regarding the emergency services fund were in favour of the higher rate.

“That is what the public asked for, loud and clear.”

WRC chairperson Paula Southgate says while Surf Lifesaving, Coastguard and rescue helicopter services do a splendid job and keep people safe on the land and in the water, the council should be considered a contributor, not underwriter, of their sustainability.

“Our role isn’t to fund charitable organisations,” she says, however “we do need to play our part in contributing to regional economic wellbeing”.

Raglan Volunteer Coastguard president Wally Hawken says while the fund is “very welcome” and will go a long way towards operating costs, “it’s not exactly what we would have liked” in terms of the amount.

However, it is “an additional sum, which has not been forthcoming from councils in the past”.

“Anything is better.”

Raglan will get a share of the $175,000 per anum, to be spent on operational costs only.

Mr Hawken says Raglan Coastguard, whose volunteers collectively put in 10,000 hours of work per year, are finding it increasingly more difficult to find funds to operate.

“Lottery grants funding is shrinking and other funding avenues are becoming more and more unreliable.”

Meanwhile, Raglan Coastguard’s Gallagher Rescue boat is in Tauranga being fitted with two engines. It is expected to be back on the Raglan Harbour by the end of the month.

Raglan father of five Darren Merito, aged 49, was killed in a crash on SH23, near Whatawhata, on Thursday last week.

The road was closed for nearly five hours after his ute and a Waikato Ready Mix Concrete collided, with traffic diverted to Waitetuna Valley Rd and Old Mountain Rd. The truck driver was taken to Waikato Hospital with moderate injuries and later released.

Mr Merito’s tangi was held at Te Pahou Marae in Whakatane on Monday.

Tributes to Mr Merito posted on Facebook describe him as one of the “good guys”, “a kind hearted person”, and a great help and “legend” in the BMX community. Mr Merito, who was known as Rangi, had been a member of the Te Awamutu BMX Club for about 16 years, and his four sons are keen BMX riders.

Police are investigating the cause of the accident.

A new, small, two-storey building is being built next to the current Chronicle office, and the newspaper will be shifting into the second floor when it is completed.

The Laundrette will be shifting into the downstairs area.

Raglan Chronicle owner Dave Smith

says he is really “looking forward to the move into a modern space, and excited by the opportunity to customise the office to better suit our future needs”.

The buildings’ owners, who also own The Shack, say all spaces within the block have been tenanted.

They say they expect the new building to be completed in about eight weeks’ time.

The Raglan House's new manager, Mike Rarere.

B being

oxloads of food saved from dumped by Hamilton supermarkets and greengrocers are now finding their way to local families on the breadline courtesy of an initiative The Raglan House has recently linked into.

The Hamilton-based initiative – Kaivolution – “rescues” food to help rescue people in need, and volunteer drivers get a share of the unwanted grocery items out to Raglan House for distribution within the community.

Boxed and bagged goodies are now arriving here weekly and all types of food from bread, rolls, fruit and veges to cakes and free-range eggs have turned up, says new House manager Mike Rarere.

“This collaboration is awesome and each time the kai arrives we are stunned by the variety, quantity and quality … it’s a real lucky dip.”

Although the food is typically either on or just over the ‘best by’ date, it is still delicious, he insists.

Kaivolution is a not-for-profit organisation, set up under the umbrella of Waikato Environment Centre, which acts as a link between the food industry and community groups that support people in need.

Mike says when the food arrives – via Kaivolution – the House promotes it to the community through Facebook and local radio and by word of mouth.

And – as pointed out on the Facebook page of The Raglan House – it’s free to those who may be finding things a bit tough at the time. There’s a limited amount available so budget service clients are given priority.

Mike emphasises the House is working in collaboration with the Surfside Churchowned and run food bank across the road, which provides food parcels to those in the community “who are needing some help”.

For Mike, the new Raglan House initiative is just one way to support Whaingaroa as a safe and healthy community for all. He came to the job last month and has been busy making contact with staff at the area school, kaumatua at Poihakena marae, local police and health services to get a grasp of how Raglan works.

“Identifying the real issues and needs of a community takes time,” concedes Mike, who’s been based in Hamilton in the field of both youth and community development for 20-odd years. Previously he was a youth worker in South Auckland, followed by a stint as a security specialist – aka bodyguard – in Hong Kong.

Most recently Mike was the manager at Te Whare o te Ata Fairfield/Chartwell Community House where he dealt primarily with youth-related and urban issues. “It’s the same in Raglan too,” he says, revealing plans to use his contacts and tap into youth culture and peer mentors from Hamilton.

But providing “companionship and connectivity” is perhaps a priority here given a lot of older people live in Raglan, he says.

Affordable housing for residents and helping people “make ends meet” are other challenges to be tackled.

The 50 year old moved from Hamilton to Raglan five years ago because “my wife and I always wanted to live by the sea and in the bush”.

A Waikato University psychology student back in the 80s, he has fond memories of visiting the late Professor James Ritchie and wife Jane at their then home overlooking Indicators beyond Whale Bay. He used to think “what an amazing place to live” – and it’s almost exactly where he’s ended up.

“I love that Raglan has got a voice … and that it’s quite media savvy. I hope to be here a long time.”

Outdoor bowls report: June 2016

A we had a peep of sunshine on

mid the wet and damp weather

Saturday 11th June to hold our second winter tournament. This was proudly sponsored by BP2GO, Raglan branch.

We had a full house of 16 teams from as far away as Titirangi in Auckland, Tui Park in Te Aroha, Huntly, Taupiri and Te Kuiti, along with teams representing Frankton junction, one composite team and five Raglan teams.

Most of the games played were evenly scored which means we all played rather well, but there is always a winner and a loser. The overall winning team was a Raglan team comprised of: Murray Eddy, Heather Dalbeth, and Eileen Stephens who had four outright wins. In second place was another Raglan team of Ross Turner, Des Bishop and Maureen Wahanga, and third place went to Margaret Jamieson’s team from Frankton Junction. They both had three wins each but Ross’s team had more points scored.

Our championship winners all represented our club at the Waikato Champion of Champions events during April and May with mixed results but they all did really well, some got through to the semi-final stages too. A great effort by you all. Well done.

Our July tournament is to be played on 9th July and we hope for improved weather.

We will just have to wait and see.

Our AGM is to be held on Sunday

Great opportunities for artists Raglan writer finalist in NZ at Raglan Arts Weekend 2017 Book Awards for Children and Young Adults Local writer Sarah Johnson's book, The Bold Ship Phenomenal, has been chosen as a finalist in the Esther Glen Junior Fiction category of the NZ Book Awards for Children and Young Adults.

R return to Raglan over the Auckland

aglan Arts Weekend will once again

Anniversary Weekend (Saturday 28 January to Monday 30 January 2017) and local artists are now invited to register for the event.

Running every year since 2009, this wellorganised weekend is a much-anticipated fixture on the Raglan summer calendar and a wonderful opportunity to show your work to a wide and appreciative audience. The event is marketed extensively throughout the North Island and draws hundreds of arts lovers from both the local and wider area, many of whom book the weekend into their diaries months in advance.

Artists who took part in the 2016 event reported that as well as helping them sell their work, the weekend also enabled them to gain valuable feedback from art lovers and offered numerous networking opportunities.

If you are a local artist and expect to have new work available by January, there are two ways you can take part: 1) Exhibit from your studio, workshop or home.

2) Exhibit from an inside space at the Old School Arts Centre (only five spaces available, so register early if you’d like to secure one of these slots).

To give participating artists even more exposure, the 2016 event included a successful exhibition and silent auction held at the Old School. This year, the Old School will host a 200 x 200 Exhibition, which will be open both in the run up to and throughout the Raglan Arts Weekend.

If you’d like to be a part of Raglan Arts Weekend 2017, contact the Old School at info@raglanartscentre.co.nz, or call 07 825 0023. Full registration is $115 but sign up before 31 July 2016 and receive a special early bird rate of $100. All registrations must be received by 31 August.

To learn more about the weekend and registration requirements, the organising team will be hosting an open night at the Old School on Tuesday 28 June at 7pm. This is a great opportunity to chat to fellow artists and get your questions answered.

Further enquiries, please contact either Jacqueline or Jenny at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre.

Youth photo exhibition shows Raglan creativity

A selection of the Rangatahi exhibition’s works on display currently at Raglan Library.

A photographic exhibition currently displayed at Raglan Library is giving renowned photographer Mark Hamilton and the Rangatahi (youth) from around Raglan an opportunity to bring their work in front of their local community.

The Rangatahi photo exhibition features a key piece of work from Mark Hamilton and other photography by young people in the area. The idea for the exhibition came about after local photography tutor Maryanne

Tuao held a youth photography workshop in December last year. She asked Raglan Library if they’d like to exhibit the works and library staff were happy to do so.

“Raglan is a very creative community,” says Michael Edmonds, Waikato District Council’s Customer Delivery Team Leader – Raglan. “This exhibition reflects that and also fits in with Council’s values around youth engagement and supporting creative expression in a variety of forms.”

The Rangatahi photo exhibition will be on display at Raglan Library until June 20.

Spoilt for choice, say this year’s judges of the 2016 Awards as they selected the 28 finalists that were announced last Wednesday.

“Haunted houses, war stories, gritty social issues and some amazingly imaginative works were all part of the mix.

It was very challenging for us all to choose these finalists,” says convenor of judges Fiona Mackie.

The finalists in the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults are selected across six categories: Young Adult Fiction, Junior Fiction, Non-Fiction, Picture Book, Illustration and te reo Māori.

There were 154 entries submitted for the 2016 Awards.

The Esther Glen junior fiction finalists deliver even more than their appearances, say the judges. “With perfect prose matching the mood of each story, and with fresh and intriguing characters, these books are by turn thrilling, funny, moving and satisfying.” Twenty-five books were submitted in this category.

Junior Fiction (Esther Glen Award): • Enemy Camp, David Hill, Penguin Random House (Puffin)

• From the Cutting Room of Barney Kettle, Kate De Goldi, Penguin Random House (Longacre) • Lily Max – Satin, Scissors, Frock, Jane Bloomfield, Luncheon Sausage Books • The Bold Ship Phenomenal, Sarah Johnson, Flat Bed Press • The Girl Who Rode the Wind, Stacy Gregg, Harper Collins The winners of the 2016 New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults will be announced on the evening of Monday, 8 August at Circa Theatre in Wellington.

Waikato communities all set to follow Raglan’s lead Waikato District Council’s new refuse and recycling services will be introduced on 1 July and are designed using the learnings of Raglan’s environmentally-friendly approach.

Significant changes are being introduced district-wide on 1 July to help reduce the amount of waste households currently send to landfill. One of the major changes is to a user pays system.

The good news for Raglan is these changes will be minimal, as the township’s refuse collection has operated on a user-pays system for the past 15 years with very few issues.

Waikato District Council General Manager Service Delivery, Tim Harty, says Raglan’s current pre-paid bag system will remain unchanged ($2.80 for a 60L blue bag and $1.50 for a 30L yellow bag).

“Raglan is a terrific example of the positive impacts of a user-pays refuse collection system. Residents are more conscious of what they put in their refuse bags so generally make a bigger effort to recycle as a result.”

With help from community enterprise organisation Xtreme Zero Waste, approximately 75 per cent of Raglan’s waste is already diverted from landfill and turned into useful resources.

“We’re confident that the new user-pays system being introduced district-wide will help other Waikato residents’ understand how they can recycle more items or start composting food and garden waste. Raglan is living proof that it can, and does, work,” Mr Harty says.

One upcoming change for Raglan residents will be the delivery of a second

brand new 55L teal-coloured recycling crate on June 28 and June 30 to all urban households.

“By having two crates, residents will have the opportunity to put glass in one and all other recyclables in the other,” Mr Harty says.

The second crate will allow residents to divert an even greater volume of recyclables including plastics labeled from 1-7, soft plastics (bread bags, cling wrap, bubble wrap), tin cans, aluminum cans and separated paper and cardboard. By recycling more, less money will be spent on pre-paid bags.

By diverting what was once waste into resources, local jobs can also be created.

“By placing your glass in one crate and other recyclables in the other crate you will save the Xtreme Zero Waste collections team a lot of time sorting while on the run. With the increase in numbers during the summer months it’s difficult to get around Raglan in a day. Separating glass into one crate will make a big difference in reducing the time taken to complete the collection, as well as increase safety in handling,” Mr Harty says.

Information on what can be recycled is on the Xtreme Zero Waste website at www. xtremezerowaste.org.nz, Xtreme Zero Waste Facebook page or on the Council’s website www.lesswastesavesmore.co.nz.

“Waikato District Council is committed to improving our district-wide recycling rates as described in our Waste Minimisation Plan and the National Waste Minimisation Strategy. Waste minimisation is core business for Council and we are hoping that these new systems will result in a greater diversion rate for the future,” Mr Harty says.

Soup brings community together

CONNECT OPEN DAY This Saturday 18th June 10 – 2pm at the Raglan Town Hall.

Come along to see what’s going on in our community!

There are loads of groups and organisations working or involved in supporting our community so make sure you check it out.......(rain or shine).

And enjoy a sausage sizzle or take a ‘tea/ coffee/cake’ break while you are there.

Volunteer Awareness week: 19 – 25 June A massive THANK YOU to ALL the volunteers in our community.

You know who you are!

Our community would be a much harder and sadder place without you. Your efforts are truly appreciated.

Tiaare, Sheree, Paulie, Te Mani, Aaron and the kids enjoying the first Whaingaroa Social Soup.

I

t wasn’t just the soup that was hearty and warming at Raglan’s first Whaingaroa Social Soup evening on Friday.

Organiser Lisa Thomson says about 30 to 40 people turned up for the soup evening, hosted by Poihakena kaumatua, at the Town Hall supper room, “and it was really nice because the kaumatua brought their guitars and ukuleles, were playing and singing, and there were kids running around”.

“It was a warming and friendly environment.”

Whaingaroa Social Soup is about bringing people together in winter, and

also being able to help those who might be struggling financially.

Ruapuke Artisan Bread, Raglan Bakery and Raglan House provided the bread to go with the soup on Friday night.

The aim is to hold a Social Soup evening once a fortnight on a Friday, from 5pm to 7pm, with different community groups taking turns to provide the meal.

“It’s about inviting the community to share food,” says Lisa.

The soup costs a koha, a gold coin donation, and the money raised will go towards Raglan families in need, such as gifting Christmas hampers or perhaps helping to pay power bills in winter.

“We’re still working out the outcome for the money,” says Lisa.

She says she hopes other community groups will be keen to host a Whaingaroa Social Soup evening in the months ahead.

Next week on Friday, Raglan Swimming Club is taking charge of soup duties, and The Lions Club and Raglan Rugby Club have also expressed an interest in providing a meal.

If anyone wants to be involved, even just by providing a pumpkin of perhaps some entertainment, please contact Lisa Thomson.

Ph 825 7105 during office hours.

“It’s a really nice way of spending a Friday evening,” she says.

Collective responsibility: wellbeing of children in communities On 1 July 2014 the Vulnerable Children Act and other associated legislation passed into law.

The Act forms a significant part of comprehensive measures to protect and improve the wellbeing of vulnerable children and strengthen our child protection system.

Abuse of children can take many forms • Physical abuse • Physical neglect

• Failure to thrive • Emotional abuse • Sexual abuse If you are concerned about a child or children – don’t stand by. Take Action.

What can you do?

There are several avenues available to you: • Talk to the manager of The Raglan House. This can be done in complete confidence and the manager can report

concerns to Child, Youth and Family. You can remain anonymous.

• Call 0508 FAMILY (0508 326 459).

Again you can remain anonymous and do not have to give your name or contact details • Talk to our local police The safety and wellbeing of the children in our community is everyone’s responsibility Help keep our tamariki safe – they have a right to be protected from harm.

Elder Abuse Awareness week: 15 – 21 June As with vulnerable children, we should be aware of the elderly and isolated in our community and look out for their rights and ensure they are safe from harm.

What does elder abuse look like?

Commonly, several types of abuse occur together. The types of abuse include: Psychological abuse Financial abuse Physical abuse Neglect Sexual abuse Institutional abuse What’s happening in New Zealand?

Each year, Age Concern’s Elder Abuse and Neglect Prevention (EANP) services receive more than 2000 referrals for older people who may be facing elder abuse or neglect. That’s eight referrals every working day. About three quarters of these situations are confirmed to involve elder abuse or neglect. Often the abuse experienced by an older person involves more than one type of abuse.

What can you do if you suspect an elder is being abused?

Tastespotting

a series of interviews with local Foodies (people who have an enthusiastic interest in the preparation and consumption of good food)

Sherry Coulson opened West Coast Counselling in the West Coast Health Clinic fifteen years ago. She and her husband Clive farmed in Te Akau on the Raglan harbour and have two boys.

Interested and inspired by: I love food - everything about it - eating cooking reading and talking about food makes me feel happy no matter what else is going on around me. I expect it's inherited, passed down through generations. We were brought up by a house full of women, all of them loud, all beautiful, all wonderful cooks.

Weekends at our house smelled like hot butter, maple syrup and vanilla, and lemons and peaches and chocolate thrown in. The mothers drank gallons of hot black coffee and smoked lipstick covered cigarettes, all talking at the same time at the tops of their lungs and out of that kitchen rolled the most amazing food. Huge angel food cakes piled high with warm peaches and whipped cream, hot cinnamon buns dripping with sugar icing, mountains of chocolate chip cookies with jugs of ice cold milk, golden lemon meringues pies and enormous peach cobblers, purple jam and gold apple butter….. best of all to us little kids though were the trays of hot rich chocolate fudge, cut into squares. With nuts on top.

Where I grew up, there were homeless and jobless men sleeping under the railway bridge on the beach. They chalked little white crosses on our garden fence as a signal that our house fed people and my grandmother would feed these men on the porch. Always the same two massive meatloaf sandwiches, lemonade and then cakes tied in a napkin to take.

Us six little kids would line up on the top step like crows on a wire watching these big foreign men eat, they scared us - it was

great!.

I was only about 4 years old but learned early on about the power of food, the obligation of looking after other people, the happiness and peace that comes with cooking for and feeding hungry people. I still have those exact same feelings, all these years later, nothing has happened in my life that made me change my mind..

Food attitude: I love food. My Attitude is gratitude.

Vegan, paleo, all of it. I’ve worked in countries where children starve and know how lucky we are to live in New Zealand where there is food everywhere you look, in the trees, ocean, in the ground. My grandma taught me to grow food so I can do that miraculous thing where you can cook what you grow and I do. And so do my children.

This time of year it's soup but I work at the West Coast Health Clinic so it's always welcome. The people who work at the clinic are the perfect people to experiment cake recipes on if anyone is wondering.

Where do I like to eat?

Everywhere and often. I feel so lucky to live in Raglan with the choices we have.

I could write a list of 99 things to eat in Raglan before you die but for now off the top of my head: Orca - chicken liver parfait. Unreal.

Aloha Sushi (Daiki's) - Tofu musubi xxxx Indies - incredible Raglan Pies, Jono's sweets.

Dolci - almond croissants. OMG. Pisey and Kens Bakery - the best ham salad buns.

Roll Up - greatest ice cream, burritos.

Turkish place - such great lamb kebabs.

Shack - beautiful tiny cakes. Addicted.

Wharf - fish and chips. Legendary.

Rockit - the most perfect risotto.

Eatery - noodle bowls. Hats off!

Marlin - really good steaks Mauro at the old Raglan West dairy - oh dear, actually everything.

Isao’s night van - Japanese chicken curry ++ Ruapuke bread from the little shop - best bread EVER There's so much brilliant food in Raglan, Kaumātua's scones on Tuesday mornings, Rangi's fry bread outside Petchell's, Rick's pesto from market, Raglan pie guy is at market too….smoked mashed potato on top of beef cooked in dark beer. Just as well I never wanted to be a spokesman for weight watchers! Still, food makes people feel happy, really good food makes people feel really happy.

And if I got invited to be on Masterchef….

Would never happen, I’m an OK cook but not a 'mean as cook' like my boys say.

However, if there was a programme called Master Eater I would be feeling extremely sorry for my opposition.

Cook for others….

Lots. I only learned to cook pavlovas a few years ago and I love making them, kind of like magic. Six eggs and some sugar and you have an enormous white crispy soft pillowy cloud thing that you can smother with whipped cream and fruit, or caramel popcorn and peanuts, or chocolate swirls and coffee. I take them to work and there's never any leftovers. I can always find a reason to cook, and to be honest, cooking has always been the thing I do when I should be doing something else, or when times are hard.

Taxes need doing? Cook. Cant sleep ? Cook.

House is a tip? Cook.

Once a year we have a cake competition

at mine, we have judges and everything and good prizes. Last year Becks baked chocolate mousse layer cake with three different types of chocolate. Anastasia made a cake out of creamed cashew nuts and kiwifruit. Amazing food. One year I invited one of our patients as a judge, he never said he was diabetic…oops! Plenty of doctors and nurses present at any rate. Now I've mentioned it, I cant think of a better job than a cake competition judge.

A Recipe for Bread and Butter pudding: • One loaf sliced. Bread crusts removed and cut in half.

• Spread bread thickly with butter and your favourite jam, marmalade or curd.

• Tuck bread into a casserole dish or small baking tray, overlapping .

• Sprinkle over with dark brown sugar and raisins if you like them ( soak them in rum, they're brilliant).

• Beat 4 eggs into a pint of milk with 2 teaspoons vanilla and pour over.

• Leave to sit an hour or until every bit of bread is completely soaked through and pop into medium hot oven until the top is brown and there's crispy bits.
