2 RAGLAN Chronicle

What makes Raglan so special?

It's a question I’ve been trying to answer lately, and so I often ask people in interviews about their view as a prompter for debate, especially if they are political candidates.

The thing is, our town keeps changing despite people’s best efforts to stop it so I’m thinking it could be really important to get a proper answer. If we don’t know what makes this place so special – and how Raglan became Raglan – then we probably won’t be able to preserve the whatever-it-is quality that attracted so many of us here.

Richard Bax, a former council manager, says Raglan really stands out as a place where people don’t want things to change. We rebuilt the wharf to be as similar to the old one as we could and we put in a new footbridge as close to the old one as possible even though there might have been better ways to do it.

Even though the instinct is right, this kind of change prevention really won’t work. Change will happen regardless so we need to develop a vision of what we want the town to

be like, a really specific vision, based on an understanding of what makes this place tick – and use that to direct change.

As I type I realise I may have just described the revitalised Raglan Naturally project but there’s one specific area that I want to focus on: housing. I don’t have an immediate answer to what makes this place special but I’m confident the housing situation will have a huge influence over the type of place we’ll be in the future.

With all due respect to my fellow middle class Raglanites, I think it’s the artists, hippies and surf bums who’ve had the major influence on how this town has evolved. Well, them and people who are on the run from Hamilton, too. They’re the ones with the time and presence in the town to create culture.

Through no fault of anyone in particular, they’re being replaced by people who work long hours (probably in Hamilton) to pay off the huge mortgage they just took out because they wanted to move to Raglan and enjoy the local culture.

I’m not trying to point the finger at anyone but I am attempting to ask a question that goes like this: How are we going to ensure there is low cost housing in Raglan so that we can maintain a diverse group of people in town?

Chamber's new guards seek to grow membership

Raglan Chamber of Commerce's new co-chairwomen from left, Hayley Willers and Morgan Morris.

T

he two new co-chairwomen of the Raglan Chamber of Commerce intend to grow the membership of the business-networking association.

Lawyers Hayley Willers, 38, and Morgan Morris, 30, were elected by the board to bring a fresh perspective to the chamber after “old guards” Dave Currie and Geoff Kelly stepped down.

Hayley, who works for Davidson Twaddle Isaac Lawyers in Hamilton, says she and Morgan will be focusing on

bringing the chamber back to where it should be.

The Chamber has spent the last year focusing on Plastic Bag Free Raglan, securing funding for the new security cameras which were installed in the CBD in December, and more recently working with community groups and Chamber members to develop Raglan’s first Destination Tourism Organisation, to help manage the growing industry.

“We support a lot of community initiatives which is great but in some respects it needs to be brought back to the

members, it’s about growing the number of members.”

Hayley says the chamber hopes to reach out to more people in the trades and retail sectors.

She says having more members is more beneficial in terms of networking, sharing ideas and support.

The chamber will hold more events for its members, “rather than just the monthly breakfast” with guest speakers at The Shack.

New events will include regular BA5 (business after 5), women in business and young and emerging business networking functions.

Morgan, who is currently on maternity leave from her job with Tompkins Wake Lawyers, says the new initiatives are about creating value to members.

“People ask all the time why should I become a member of the chamber, what can the chamber do for me?

“Our focus will be on delivering interesting, relevant and beneficial speakers at our events which we feel is where the real value can be added.”

Former co-chairman Geoff Kelly says it was time for the “old guards to step down” and he is excited to have two young, women lead the chamber.

“They are the future of Raglan, really, in moving forward.”

He says the Raglan’s Chamber of Commerce will be one of the few in New Zealand to have women at the helm.

Soul Shoes shoplifter a ‘prolific offender’ A woman facing charges for shoplifting in Soul Shoes is one of Hamilton’s “most prolific offenders”, say police, who attribute her arrest to the store’s high-quality security camera system.

The woman faces a raft of shoplifting charges and has been remanded in custody until her court appearance in mid-April, says Raglan constable Gary Ryburn.

He says she was already wanted for breaching court release conditions when she was caught on security camera stealing about $1500 worth of belts and bags from

the Soul Shoes at Raglan wharf in midJanuary.

“She offended again three days after Soul Shoes,” says Mr Ryburn.

He says the woman has 13 previous shoplifting convictions –“and still chasing” – from 2016 alone.

She was “located as a passenger in a vehicle in Hamilton” on May 24.

Mr Ryburn says the high-quality image provided to police by Soul Shoes enabled clear identification of the offender.

“It was A1 quality. I was very impressed.”

The photo was sent out to Waikato police staff and Mr Ryburn says he got

back about 20 emails “all identifying the same woman”.

He says having a good-quality security system is important to help catch shoplifters because “police aren’t miracle workers”.

Soul Shoes owner Marie de Jong, who had posted the photo of the offender on the store’s Facebook page, says although she will never see the stolen goods again the theft drummed up a lot of business support.

“We did well with it,” she laughs.

“It reached more than half a million people. In two days we had nearly 1000 likes! It usually takes me at least a year to drum up that kind of support.”

4 RAGLAN Chronicle

Barry Ashby was a well-loved, active member of the Raglan community.

elebrations of Raglan identity Barry Ashby’s life were held on both sides of the divvy last Friday, such was the regard held for – to quote former ward councillor Clint Baddeley – “a lovely old fella”.

C

About 30 Raglan residents travelled to Barry’s formal farewell at 1pm in Hamilton East Methodist Church, while much the same number shared memories informally a few hours later downtown at Orca Restaurant & Bar. This was ‘Barry’s Hour’, organised by the Raglan Chamber of Commerce as “a happy hour to celebrate one of our favourite community members”.

It was to have been the chamber’s scheduled monthly meeting or happy hour, explained co-chair Morgan Morris, but was re-named in honour of Barry who’d been an active member as owner of Journey’s End B&B at the wharf.

“We will surely miss his insightful opinions,” lamented the chamber on Facebook.

Barry was not only a chamber member but also served on the Raglan Community Board for two terms.

“He was a lovely old fella with a very strong social conscience,” Clint told the Chronicle this week. Barry, a longtime teacher and guidance counsellor who’d retired in Raglan, was always eager to help young people in particular, Clint said.

One of the community board’s more youthful members in recent years, Kelly Murphy (nee Clarkson), told on the Raglan 23 website how Barry had shown her “so much kindness and support” during her time there. “You could see his love for Whaingaroa and its people shine through.”

Former board chair Rodger Gallagher lauded Barry as a local stalwart “who could always be relied on for the common sense view of community matters”, whether it be painting parking spaces at the wharf for

orderly management or pressuring Waikato District Council to overturn its Bow Street dog ban.

Before the ban was overturned Barry’s own small dog with the big name – Sir Barney Grubb – was left in the car while his owner shopped, Rodger said, even though others let their much larger dogs flout the rules.

“Barry always obeyed the law,” Rodger said. “On the other hand he also put forward ideas that tested people’s thinking such as establishing a naval training base in Raglan.”

Current ward councillor Lisa Thomson, who went to both celebrations of Barry’s life last week, told the Chronicle how moving it was to see several grandchildren speak at the Hamilton East church of his influence on them personally. “He obviously had a huge impact on their lives.”

An older friend also spoke of how Barry – who was just shy of 80 when he died – was an atheist but lived by Christian values, Lisa said.

Barry’s reputation as a prolific letter writer to newspapers and politicians around the country – on favourite issues such as animal rights – was also noted, Lisa added.

He’d penned an estimated 1200 letters to various editors over the years.

Friends and family at his Hamilton service heard how disgruntled he’d be if nothing more than a standard reply came back, at which point Barry would write again to get a genuine response.

“He was one of life’s characters,” Clint laughed this week. While Clint would sometimes worry about Barry’s ongoing health issues, he’d then see another of Barry’s letters pop up in the paper and his fears were allayed. *Barry – who died on March 25 – was predeceased by his wife, Tricia, and was father and grandfather to Craig, Gregor, Chelsea, Judy, Julie, Isabella (and Ben), Henry, Bradlee, Claudia, Alexander and Zeke … and Sir Barney Grubb.

Active amputee proves the world is your oyster

Wayne Trott will be heading to the 2017 World Long Distance Championships in Tahiti in June.

H active life.

e’s only got one leg but Wayne Trott leads an

The Raglan resident has always pushbiked a lot – “it’s a lot easier than walking” on his below the knee prosthetic – and then a few years ago he discovered waka ama.

Wayne says he was always biking along Marine Parade whenever the Raglan waka ama club was going out and one day member Aaron Kereopa said to him “you look like you like to keep fit, want to try paddling?”

So he did and became hooked, competing at regattas around the North Island and at regional and national championships.

This month he was selected for the New Zealand para waka team for the International Va’a Federation (IVF) World Distance Championships in Tahiti in June.

“Paddling is something I can also do for fitness that doesn’t rely on me walking,” says Wayne, who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident about 30 years ago.

Walking on his artificial leg for a long period of time hurts as “the stump is always changing”, and it’s been the “worst year” for walking.

But the part-time sawmiller, who doesn’t like wearing shoes, says he keeps active to keep his sanity, so he can go home at night and feel tired enough to sleep well.

“Most people I know who have a disability do the same.”

As a consequence of all that physical activity, he’s worn out a fair number of artificial limbs in his time – “I’ve lost count” – and is currently having a new one built because the old leg “hasn’t been good for about a year”.

“I’ve probably had this one the longest – about two and half to three years.”

Although waka ama is all about paddling, Wayne still needs his artificial limb to help carry the six-man boat to the water and to drive his stroke.

“It’s always better to wear your leg otherwise everything else starts to hurt – your hip, knees, you back goes out.”

The 53-year-old – “you’re never to old they reckon” – gets out on the water about three or four times a week, and “then some”.

He enjoys the peace and quiet out on the harbour, away from the maddening crowds that converge on Raglan, and he likes the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team.

“The boys are a good bunch,” he says of the open men’s Raglan team that he regularly competes and trains with.

“We’re all keen on the same thing: fitness, health … we all have a bit of a competitive streak in us.”

The world distance championship is a new event open to 32 IVF member countries.

From New Zealand, seven teams will take part, including the New Zealand para team.

Wayne has competed at national level in “adaptive” waka ama as part of a team of six – the Black Adapts – and in a single outrigger.

In the national adaptive OC1 (single outrigger) competition he won silver in the 500m sprints in 2015 and 2016 but “this year some young buck came along and snaked me”, and Wayne won bronze. That 19-year-old has also been selected to be in the New Zealand para team.

Wayne says his team is a mix of disabilities, including paraplegics who have to be strapped to their seats, an above the knee amputee and possibly a blind woman.

For safety precautions, the boats used in the para races have double outriggers so they can’t flip.

Ahead of the competition, Wayne will attend three training camps, the first during Easter weekend in Napier, and he will continue training with his Raglan team.

He says he’s excited to go to Tahiti and expects the event will be “huge” and “hot”.

“I think it is going to be an awesome experience.”

In anticipation of temperatures likely around 30 degrees Celsius, Wayne says he went for a paddle with his full life jacket on. “It was torture, but I have to try and get used to the heat.”

And he reckons he will have to try his hardest to remain calm so he doesn’t get worn out from all the adrenaline ahead of the big race.

“Staying calm is pretty important.”

Meanwhile, a Raglan waka ama senior masters women’s team is competing at the Worlds Masters Games, which will be held this year in Auckland in April.

It is the first time that waka ama has been included in the games, which is the world’s largest multisport event and held every four years by a host city.

Animal Health Column For Raglan People + their Pets

A tasty treat to humans, but toxic to pets

W

hen your dog is part of your family, sharing your food feels natural.

However, many of us are unaware that some of the food we eat may actually be toxic to our pets.

There are many reasons why we recommend that people do not feed their dogs leftovers.

The main reasons we say this is because people are often unaware what is toxic to their pet, or the foods may contain high fat or sugar levels, which are detrimental to your pets weight and potentially damaging to their organ systems. Instead, we recommend you feed your pet a nutritionally balanced, quality-assured pet food.

Refer to the below list – a basic guide to foods that are harmful to our pets • Garlic and onions • Chocolate • Mouldy/spoiled foods and rubbish • Avocado pit • Alcohol • Fat trimmings (meat) • Macadamia nuts Keep your pets safe this Easter (dogs, we are looking at you!)

We shine the light on dogs here because – surprise, surprise – they have great sniffer noses and love to find all the hidden stashes of goodies!

Did you know that chocolate can be toxic, sometimes even

fatal to our pets? Dogs are easily the most commonly affected, as previously explained.

The toxic compound in chocolate is called theobromine – it is similar to caffeine.

What are the symptoms of chocolate toxicity?

Animals will commonly become nervous and excited with an elevated heart rate.

Vomiting and diarrhoea are other common signs, as well as increased thirst and urination.

The end result may be muscle spasms, seizures and death due to heart rhythm abnormalities.

Signs of toxicity are usually seen within 12 hours of ingestion of the chocolate.

How much chocolate is needed for a reaction, and what does treatment involve?

The size of your pet, the type of chocolate and the quantity of chocolate ingested will determine how toxic it may be for your pet. The darker the chocolate, the greater the risk of toxicity.

There is no specific antidote for chocolate toxicity. If you seek help within less than four hours of ingestion, it may be possible to induce vomiting.

Other treatment may include intravenous fluid therapy, anti-seizure drugs, and heart medication.

If you suspect toxicity in your pet, contact your local veterinary clinic immediately.

Don’t Feed Your Pet Junk Food!

Not all foods are created equal so make sure your pet gets the best diet possible!

As vets we cannot emphasise enough the importance of good nutrition for your pet, to ensure good health. Diets need to be tailored to the specific needs of your pet to ensure they lead a healthy life.

There are many reasons why you should consider feeding your pet with pet food purchased from your vet.

A experiencing a range of watersports in bout 20 people with disabilities had fun

Raglan on Sunday.

The Flight Centre Halberg Foundation held the adaptive watersports day in collaboration with the Raglan waka ama club and local business Raglan Watersports at Te Kopua Domain.

Co-ordinator Ross Ormsby said close to 20 participants and 25 volunteers enjoyed the day.

“It’s so satisfying to see the enjoyment from people at experiencing a new, adventurous activity,” he said.

“For people with disabilities, the opportunity to be on water and engage in an environment that is not normally accessible can be life changing and challenging and enjoyable all in one.”

Raglan resident and amputee Wayne Trott, who is in the New Zealand para team competing at the IVF World Long Distance Championships in Tahiti in June, showed participants the ropes of waka ama.

“He provides that experience and link to a pathway of further possibilities of competition and New Zealand representation (in adaptive recreation),” said Ross.

Feedback from participants and volunteers on the day was “that was so much fun”.

Inger Vos

Advice: Your pet’s dietary needs may change as they grow and age. Your vet/ vet nurse can offer advice on the best nutrition for all life stages of your pet.

Range: Vet-Only pet food offers a wide range of special diets, such as oral care, weight loss and hairball control.

Tailor-made: Large-breed dogs have different nutritional needs than smaller dogs and therefore need different diet formulations. Breed specific foods are formulated to help control or prevent some of the typical health problems of each breed. Your vet also has access to prescription diets designed for specific health conditions.

Much less mess to clean up: Quality food is highly digestible – therefore less mess and smell when your pet goes to the toilet.

Weight management: Obesity is the most common form of malnutrition in the pets of today. Feeding pets an appropriate quantity of food is very important. High quality food tends to make the animal feel full and satisfied with a smaller quantity.

Hot deal:

Dental health: Dental problems are the second most common health problem that we see in our patients. Vet-Only pet foods have special features to help keep your pet’s mouth healthy.

April promotion: Check out our product bargain The link between good nutrition and health is well proven in humans and animals, so you want to feed the best food you can to your pets. We believe feeding a top bin in store, full of all sorts of quality veterinary diet will result in a longer and better quality life for your pet.

It is the ultimate kiwi bach: retro and quirky but also quiet, sunny, warm and comfortable with extensive views and its own harbour access, so you can keep your kayaks close to the water! Full of history but with the modern upgrades you would expect while still retaining its retro vibe. The furnishings are included so just bring your togs and relax.
