Alo putting the finishing touches on a protrait.

T

he arts have long been a shared language in the Shirai-O’Donnell family.

Mum Kyoko Shirai is well-known for her vibrant artwork, dad Cian O’Donnell expresses his creativity through music and DJing, and now their 11-year-old son Alo is joining them on the family’s artistic journey.

Mother and son are teaming up for a joint exhibition, debuting Alo’s portraits alongside a series of new works by Kyoko.

Dubbed Family Affair, the show runs from February 15–22 in the space formerly known as Bohemian Gypsy at 13 Bow Street.

A self-taught artist, Kyoko has brightened up Whāingaroa for many years with her colourful, dynamic work, inspired by her travels to American First Nations reservations and her own Japanese heritage.

Kyoko and Alo creating together.

Alo is new to the art world but, with Kyoko and Cian firmly in his corner, he is ready to share the portraits he has been drawing over the past year.

It was Cian who persuaded them to exhibit. “It was Alo’s dad who suggested he draw more people in Raglan and have an exhibition,” Kyoko says.

“I’ve been doing art since I was around three, but I’ve been doing more lately so I can get better,” he says.

Creativity runs through the whole family in many forms.

His portraits feature well-known locals, with his first – of surf legend Chris Malone – sparking a journey to document characters familiar to the community.

Inspired by anime, Alo’s work captures the essence of Raglan personalities in a colourful, joyful, and uniquely youthful style.

Kyoko and Alo often work side-byside, with Kyoko providing guidance when needed.

“I don't like people telling me how to draw or what to draw, and Alo’s the same,” Kyoko laughs. “But sometimes when he's struggling, he’ll ask me for help.”

Kyoko and Cian also have a keen eye for vintage and retro clothing and wares, sold through their popular shop ULOs on Bow Street.

DTI’s specialist lawyers have extensive experience in: • Residential & Commercial Conveyancing • Property & Subdivisions • Relationship Property • Trusts, Wills & Estates • Commercial Law • Employment Law & Investigations • Education & Health Law • Charities & Not-for-Profits

07 282 0174 | www.dtilawyers.co.nz Raglan Office: 32 Rangitahi Road, Raglan

And the mouth-watering dishes and cocktails from ULOs Kitchen are prepared

by Alo’s auntie Eriko, uncle Taka, and grandparents Yuko and Yoshiaki.

Finger food and beverages for the Family Affair opening night on Sunday, February 15 will be catered by the ULOs team, and sounds by DJ’s Cian and Alo’s older brother Esai who is flying in from Melbourne for the event.

Family Affair runs from February 15–22 at 13 Bow Street.

Māui Dolphin Day returns to Whāingaroa and registrations are open M

āui Dolphin Day is back on Saturday, March 7, inviting the Whāingaroa community to come together once again in support of the endangered Popoto/Māui dolphin and the protection of our marine environment.

First held in 2004, Māui Dolphin Day has become a much-loved community festival that brings together environmental advocacy, creativity and community connection. This year’s event is especially significant, marking more than 25 years of mahi by both Xtreme Zero Waste and the Whāingaroa Environment Centre, and serving as one of the national events wrapping up Seaweek 2026.

At its core, Māui Dolphin Day is about what coastal communities can do to protect the environments they live alongside. Māui dolphins are endemic to Aotearoa and critically endangered, with an estimated population of just 48–64 remaining. The event offers opportunities to learn more about these taonga species while celebrating local action and ingenuity.

The day will feature live entertainment and performances across the site, including Circus Aotearoa, activities for all ages, information stalls from environmental organisations, and food stalls fundraising for local not-for-profit groups. The event traditionally concludes with the much-loved Recycled Raft Race, a highlight for participants and spectators alike.

Community groups, clubs and organisations are encouraged to take part.

Applications are now open for information or fundraising food stalls, and teams are invited to register for the Recycled Raft Race.

Categories include race placings, Best Raft, and the Te Kaha Trophy for the best junior raft.

Māui Dolphin Day is a zero-waste, commerce-free event, with selling limited to fundraising for not-for-profit groups, reflecting the kaupapa of care for people and place.

Scan the QR Code to register your raft

Whether you’re keen to build a raft, host a stall, share information or simply come along and support the kaupapa, Māui Dolphin Day on March 7 is an opportunity to be part of a long-running local event centred on community action, environmental responsibility and collective care.

Farming can be physically demanding and, at times, isolating. Programmes like Surfing for Farmers provide an important outlet for connection, fresh air, and a mental reset. The benefits ripple through families, businesses, and communities, and strengthens the resilience of rural New Zealand.

Support a grassroots initiative focused on farmer wellbeing and community connection by choosing one of these Swanndri styles during the entire month of February.

Ragrat taxi service is on the road

by Janine Jackson “I quote the fee at the time of booking, so people know exactly what they’re paying before they get in the car. There are no surprises at the end of the trip, which gives people peace of mind.”

Bookings have been steadily increasing, particularly from visitors, and Robin has already seen the service make a real difference.

“I had a couple from Auckland out having drinks with friends just outside town. They were told they’d be fine driving because the local cops knock off at five. We hit a checkpoint on the way back in – someone would have lost their licence if they’d driven.”

After three years driving Uber in Hamilton, Robin is confident his pricing strikes a fair balance.

“There’s a $15 minimum fare in Raglan, which we think is reasonable,” he says. “The rate per kilometre in and around Raglan is $5.50,” he says. “In Hamilton it’s $4.80 during the day and $6.80 at night, so I’ve tried to meet somewhere in the middle.”

A

new pre-book taxi service is helping fill a transport gap in town, giving locals and visitors

a reliable way to get where they need to go.

Raglan Rides and Transfers (Ragrat) hit the road just three weeks before Christmas, after driver and founder Robin Redshaw saw a need for a dependable, book-ahead option.

Robin holds a passenger licence and his Toyota Camry has a Certificate of Fitness, with six-monthly checks to meet safety standards. He can carry up to four passengers anywhere they want to go.

Unlike on-demand ride services, Ragrat allows customers to plan ahead for airport transfers, events, or nights out – while still leaving room for spontaneous trips.

“People don’t always know they’ll need a taxi when they head out for the evening. I’m happy to take that last-minute call for a lift home after one too many.” Robin says.

A key advantage of pre-booking, he says, is price certainty.

“At the end of the day, it comes down to choice,” he says.

“I’ll give you a price, and you can decide if it works for you.”

As a guide, a trip to Hamilton costs around $100, while a ride to Auckland Airport is about $300 -offering locals and visitors alike a clear, safe and predictable way to get there.

Raglan student gives back through Duke of Edinburgh Gold Journey supplied by Raglan iHUB

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a globally recognised youth development programme that encourages young people aged 14 to 24 to challenge themselves, develop practical and social skills, and give back to their communities.

The Award is built around four key sections: Volunteering, Physical Recreation, Skills, and an Adventurous Journey, with an additional Residential Project required at Gold level. Participants must show sustained commitment over time, learning to manage responsibilities alongside school, work, and personal life.

As part of her Gold Award, Enfys is required to complete at least one hour of volunteer work each week over an extended period. Like many senior students, she found this requirement challenging to fit around the demands of schoolwork, study, ballet training, and other commitments. However, a valuable opportunity presented itself at Raglan’s iHUB, where Enfys now volunteers every Saturday.

Initially supported on shift, Enfys quickly grew in confidence and was soon able to manage on her own for a full Saturday — a significant milestone that speaks to both her capability and the trust placed in her by the iHUB team. Her role involves welcoming locals and visitors alike, answering questions, helping people find their way around Raglan, and assisting customers browsing for unique items in the shop. Sometimes it’s about pointing someone in the right direction, and other times it’s simply about having a

Through her time at iHUB, Enfys has developed strong people skills and greater confidence in dealing with a wide range of individuals, including both locals and international visitors. She particularly enjoys the social interaction and the variety each shift brings. Her volunteering has a double benefit: supporting the iHUB roster while also equipping her with practical skills that will serve her well in future employment and life beyond school.

Alongside volunteering, the Duke of Edinburgh Award requires participants to commit weekly time to developing a skill and participating in a physical activity. Enfys has chosen to learn knitting as her skill — a practical and creative pursuit — while continuing with ballet as her chosen sport, an activity she has enjoyed and trained in for many years.

One of the greatest challenges, and benefits, of the Duke of Edinburgh Award is the level of dedication it demands. Participants must carefully plan and consistently allocate time and energy across multiple areas of life. For students nearing the end of their schooling, this can be particularly demanding, but it also builds resilience, independence, and strong time-management skills.

Enfys had some familiarity with iHUB before beginning her volunteering, as her family business has a product sold in the shop.

Businesses lineup for World Surf League open forum supplied by Go Raglan

R

aglan’s business community is invited to come together, connect and collaborate as the town gears up to welcome the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour and the opportunities it brings to Whāingaroa.

The WSL Open Forum Business Community Engagement event will take place on Thursday, February 19, at 6pm at the Raglan Town Hall Supper Room.

Hosted by the Whāingaroa Raglan Destination Management Organisation (WRDMO/Go Raglan) and the Raglan Business Chamber.

The forum will be an informal space for local businesses to connect, share ideas, and collaborate as planning ramps up for the international event.

With the WSL taking place May 15-25 in what is typically a quieter season, the focus is on working together to ensure Raglan has the capacity to meet visitor needs while delivering excellent hospitality and staying true to the town’s values.

“Bringing businesses together early, means we can plan collectively and make the most of the event.

By sharing ideas, we can deliver a great experience for visitors while staying true to what makes Raglan special,” WRDMO Chair Charlie Young says.

Discussion topics will include opening hours, staffing, discounts, events and activities such as movie screenings and outdoor experiences, pop-up accommodation options, and ways to collectively share Raglan’s zero-waste kaupapa. Strengthening communication between local businesses and the WSL event team is also a key aim.

The forum will also support wider workforce development work underway in Whāingaroa, led

by Tourism and Events Workforce Development Advisor Jami Dickson.

“The WSL presents a real opportunity for local people and businesses, not just during the event but longer term. By connecting employers, job seekers and event organisers through this forum, we can better understand where the gaps are and build pathways that support meaningful, sustainable work here in Whāingaroa,” Jami says.

Founded in 2015, The Big Bike Film Night has grown into an international event, presenting a curated selection of New Zealand and international films by Taupō-based “Film Pedlar” Brett Cotter.

“Our 2026 programme features nine mesmerising films that are as dynamic and diverse as cycling itself,” says Cotter.

“Audiences will travel from backyard adventures in New Zealand to Norway, Canada’s west coast and the iconic slopes of Mont Ventoux in France.”

A standout this year is the world premiere of Queen of the Mountain, filmed in Queenstown. The documentary follows adventure activist Annie Ford as she attempts to break the 24-hour Guinness World Record for downhill mountain biking, using the challenge to raise funds for reforesting the Queenstown basin.

The programme also includes stories of extreme endurance, creative cycling, adaptive

riding after injury, epic journeys and heart-

very few years, Raglan Whāingaroa’s creative spirit takes centre stage – and this year it’s your chance to join the cinematic action.

On Friday 23 May, the film festival team is hosting a family evening at the Town Hall, where films made by people in our community will be shown in two sessions, followed by the much-anticipated Raglan Arts Film Festival Awards (RAFFA) – a celebration and recognition of outstanding local talent.

Audiences can look forward to cheering on filmmakers of all ages, with awards including Best Tamariki, Best Rangatahi, and the festival’s top honour, the Grand Phoenix Palm Award – celebrating excellence,

originality and the powerful storytelling that comes from our own backyard.

Since 2009, the Raglan Film Festival has been supporting the creative endeavours, imagination and voices of local filmmakers and actors.

The film festival is an opportunity to uplift Raglan's diverse voices, and celebrate our storytellers – from our youngest tamariki, to our rising rangatahi, through to the winner of the coveted Grand Phoenix Palm Award.

Make a film and enter Have a story itching to be told? Whether it’s a short documentary, drama, experimental piece or mini-masterpiece from the rangatahi (youth) in your whānau, entries are open now.

All it takes to start is your name and category – full details of your film can be given later.

Raglan Medical Update February 2026 Evie grew up just outside of Kirikiriroa and has been visiting Whāingaroa since she was a young child and moved out here around 20 years ago.

Before studying medicine, she worked as an aged care nurse, travelled widely, and studied and practiced holistic medicine. During this time, Evie realised she wanted to work in public healthcare — to support people and communities in a more accessible way.

She began a science degree with a second major in Māori and Pacific development at the University of Waikato.

After completing this, she was accepted into medical school and moved south to study at the University of Otago.

After graduating, Evie returned to Whāingaroa and began her medical journey at Waikato Hospital — a special full-circle moment, as it’s the hospital where she was born. During this time, she also completed GP placements in Ōtorohanga and Kāwhia, where she discovered how much she enjoyed working in rural communities.

Two years ago, Evie and her partner Frankie moved to Te Tai Tokerau while she began dual training in Rural Hospital Medicine and General Practice. She worked between Whangārei and Bay of Islands Hospitals and, in her spare time, they started exploring offshore and coastal sailing.

More recently, they were overjoyed to find out they were hapū with their baby girl, Freddie. With that wonderful news, they decided it was time to return home — to be close to their whānau, friends, and community here in Whāingaroa. Evie is excited to be starting work locally as a GP and to continue caring for this community that means so much to her.

ADHD Diagnostic & Treatment Services F

rom 1 February 2026, GPs and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in Aotearoa New Zealand will be able to diagnose and initiate treatment for adults with ADHD, following approval from the Ministry of Health in June 2025.

Previously, GPs and NPs were only able to prescribe ADHD medications for patients already under the care of a paediatrician or psychiatrist, which often resulted in long delays for access to treatment, including medications such as Ritalin.

From February 2026, only GPs and NPs with appropriate training will be able to diagnose ADHD. At Raglan Medical, Dr Maria and Dr Tobi are trained to provide ADHD assessment and treatment for patients aged 18 years and over.

What to expect ADHD assessments take up to two hours, usually spread across several appointments This service is not subsidised by Health New Zealand, so patients will need to self-fund Payment plans may be available to help improve accessibility

How to eat to manage diabetes supplied by Fiona McNabb

C

olin Chung and Fiona McNabb are joining forces on the 23rd of February and the 16th and 23rd of March to present a series of workshops at the Raglan Community House to support people with diabetes, those at risk of developing diabetes or their friends and whanau.

Colin is famous in Raglan and the South Pacific for his skills as a chef, hospitality manager, caterer, author and educator. He has also managed type 2 diabetes for the last 20 years.

Fiona is a Clinical Pharmacist Prescriber working at Raglan Medical and Victoria Clinic in Hamilton. Fiona works with many people trying to manage their diabetes or improve their lifestyle and diet to reduce the risk of developing diabetes, especially where family history suggests an increased risk.

We sat down for a Q+A session to see what they are up to at the Community House.

Colin: Tell us a bit about your background and your interest in healthy eating.

Hospitality, hotel and restaurant management and training in Hawaii and the South Pacific was the focus of my early career. I spent 40 years travelling and working, especially in Fiji, where I was inspired to write Kana Kinaka meaning ‘eat well’, a collection of recipes influenced by that experience.

I came to Raglan in the early 90s and established Vinnie’s restaurant where the Raglan Surf Co is now. Now my focus is on catering for local events and enjoying my retirement.

When did you first know that you were developing diabetes?

In the early 2000s I became pre-diabetic. I felt it was triggered by stress and decided I needed to adapt my diet and lifestyle. This was successful for the first few years, but eventually I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in about 2005.

In 2008 I got out of business and focused on my health.

How did you adapt your diet?

I had a lot of food and nutrition knowledge, so I did some research on diabetes and what were

the best foods to eat. I realised I needed to control my carbohydrate and sugar intake but most of the other fresh vegetables, fish, eggs and lean meats were fine to continue.

I also increased my daily exercise, and monitored my blood sugars to be able to gauge what sort of progress I was making.

What will you focus on at the workshops?

I want to help people understand what’s good to eat, how to keep the cost to a bare minimum and use fresh local produce. I am also happy to share my own journey with diabetes.

Fiona: What is your background and what is the work you do at Raglan Medical?

I see people in the clinic like the doctors do. I am qualified to prescribe medicines if necessary and my passion is helping people achieve the best health outcomes with the least use of medicines, and when they are necessary, how to choose the best one to suit the individual.

How do you help people with diabetes?

I focus on each person’s knowledge of how their body works, why diabetes has developed for them, or if they are sneaking into the pre-diabetes range, what can be done with diet and exercise to reduce the risk of developing diabetes. We spend a lot of time looking at the carbohydrate content of their favourite foods and what could they switch to. If medicines become necessary on top of lifestyle changes, I can explain how they all work, and what to look out for when taking medicines.

What will you offer at the workshops?

At the beginning of each session, I will explain some of the background to diabetes, why carbohydrates are key to manage and answer any questions people have about diabetes medicines.

The workshops will run from 9am to 12pm on the 16th February, the 16th and 23rd of March at the Raglan Community House.

Participants will be invited to help prepare the food Colin has planned and share the kai at the end of the session. Koha will be welcome to help cover the cost of the ingredients.

Anyone interested should register at the community house or call them on 07 825 8142.

MY BABY bring Acoustic Blues Club Tour to Raglan I

nternationally acclaimed trio MY BABY are returning to Aotearoa with their Acoustic Blues Club Tour, stopping in Raglan for an intimate show at The Yard on Thursday 27 February 2025.

Known for their genre-defying blend of roots, funk-driven delta trance and psychedelic blues, MY BABY’s Raglan show offers a rare chance to experience the band up close in a stripped-back setting before they unleash their full, high-energy live sound.

The first half of the show sees MY BABY dial things right back, transforming the venue into a late-night blues bar. Expect warm acoustic grooves, reworked songs, slide guitar and soulful vocals that honour the band’s blues foundations. The second half shifts gears, delivering the foot-stomping funk, danceable rhythms and psychedelic jams that have earned them a global following.

Comprised of siblings Cato and Joost van Dijck alongside New Zealand-born guitarist Daniel ‘DaFreez’ Johnston, MY BABY fuse blues and funk with dub-heavy basslines and electronic energy, creating a sound that feels both primal and futuristic.

Formed in 2012, the band have toured extensively across Europe, the UK and New Zealand, appearing at major festivals including Glastonbury, WOMAD and Isle of Wight.

Caring for dogs makes our communities safer Waikato District Council media release

I

t’s not ok to have roaming dogs in our communities. While some may seem friendly and harmless, roaming dogs can be dangerous to themselves, other people, and the environment.

Dogs roam for many reasons, such as poor fencing, lack of training, or boredom. When dogs roam freely, they can be injured by cars, become sick and spread diseases, have unwanted puppies, or cause harm to other animals and people.

Responsible dog ownership helps prevent these problems and keeps dogs safe and well cared for. This includes keeping dogs in a secure, fenced area, providing food, water and shelter, and

giving them daily exercise and mental stimulation.

Spaying your dog is important too.

Desexing helps prevent unplanned breeding and reduces a dog’s urge to wander.

Regulatory Services Manager, Rochelle Deane, says “Owning a dog comes with responsibility, making sure your dogs is secure, cared for, and is not roaming is a part of being a good pet owner and neighbour”.

When people take good care of their dogs, communities become safer and happier to everyone.
