Beaches busy but police happy that ‘majority’ playing the game

Senior Constable Stevenson reminds everyone to think of the continuing restrictions as a team effort.

L

ocal beaches were noticeably busy last week after the country’s Covid-19 restrictions were relaxed slightly but the majority of beachgoers are still “doing what’s required”, say Raglan Police.

Ninety parked cars were observed at Manu Bay – with an equivalent number of surfers in the water – on the Wednesday afternoon following Tuesday’s shift back to alert level 3.

However Senior Constable Raewyn Stevenson told the Chronicle that the people police spoke to coming and going from the surf were all locals observing the two-metre social distancing rule.

“Those in the water were also keeping apart,” she said.

But she also issued a reminder that everyone should think of the continuing restrictions as a team effort. “We’ve all got to comply … let’s do it and get out of alert level 3 quicker.”

The combination of good surf and weather on Saturday also saw swarms of people out surfing or fishing from the shore, both in Raglan and further south at Ruapuke where police described the beach and car-parks as “jam-packed”. No arrests were made.

Senior Constable Stevenson said that at both alert levels 3 and 4, police checkpoints at Whatawhata had been helpful in monitoring people’s movements. However

“relatively few” vehicles had been forced to turn back – for instance only three out of 52 cars stopped at one point during level 4 lockdown.

And while level 3 meant there were now more cars on the road, this was in line with the relaxed regulations, she added.

“People can exercise at parks or beaches within their region but the closer to home the better. Activities must be safe – keep two metres away from anyone not in your bubble.

And make minimal trips.”

Senior Constable Stevenson said a graduated response was used in Covid-19 policing, which relies on powers invoked by the Government under health and civil defence emergency management legislation.

However, the essential role of the police had not changed whatever the alert level. They worked with the public through a four-step process: engage, educate, encourage and “if absolutely necessary” enforcements such as warnings or arrests.

Encouragingly, there had been no arrests in the Raglan area to date, although there have been verbal and written warnings issued.

Outside of the strictly Covid-19 policing in Raglan, however, there had been a slight increase in domestic abuse.

The Senior Constable said these were “mostly verbal disagreements involving families we normally wouldn’t deal with for such things,” and attributed the rise in cases to cabin fever brought on by being cooped up together for so long.

Meantime Senior Constable Stevenson praised the efforts of local businesses that have either stayed open throughout or re-opened recently – maintaining safe, contactless sales.

“We’ve all got to stick this out,” she reinforced. “Keep the ball up, don’t let it drop.”

Celebratory meal a near death experience

A picture of the poisonous deathcap mushroom.

A

celebratory meal turned into a medical emergency for public health doctor and medical sexual assault doctor Anna Whitehead.

This is a cautionary tale; one she hopes will warn people off collecting and cooking wild mushrooms.

Taking a Good Friday walk along to the wharf from Cox’s Bay, Anna spied a couple of mushrooms under an ancient oak tree near the rebuilt boardwalk, which she picked and put in her jacket pocket.

It wasn’t until the next day that she found the mushrooms, washed them, and left them to dry.

She noticed they had turned inky black and thought to identify them on Google, but got busy working in her public health role, working to minimise the impact of COVID-19 issues on Māori and Pacific Island people.

A few days later she settled in to watch the Ashely Bloomfield and Jacinda Ardern daily update with a meal of fresh fish, rice and the mushrooms to celebrate New Zealand’s COVID-19 successes to date.

“They (the mushrooms) tasted nice, and I thought that this maybe was the taste of ‘real’ mushroom, rather than commercially grown ones.”

Anna Whitehead spent time at Waiklato Hospital after ingesting the poisonous mushroom.

She continued with the rest of her work that day and felt completely fine.

It was a different story 14-hours later when she woke at 3am vomiting bile and expelling watery diarrhea, which continued every half hour until 8am when she decided she needed to do some mushroom research.

“I staggered upstairs, kneeled on the floor and Googled ‘poisonous mushrooms NZ’ and immediately a picture of deathcap mushroom flashed up. I recognised it instantly as the type of mushroom I had picked and eaten. It came with a description of how even eating a single mushroom can be fatal, with liver transplant as the only treatment.”

She proceeded to message her partner in France alerting him to her predicament before ringing an ambulance.

“After doing all my checks the lovely paramedic asked what kind of mushroom I’d eaten, as she had been told I’d eaten a ‘magic mushroom’. I reassured her that I believed I’d eaten a deathcap mushroom – and was unfortunately not hallucinating.”

Anna was taken to Raglan Medical and given medication to stop the vomiting and diarrhea, and the National Poison Centre was contacted.

After a day on a drip to keep her hydrated, the vomiting and diarrhea had ceased, and a test on her liver came back at nearly normal levels. Anna was sent home.

This is known as the honeymoon period, when there are few effects but the poison is attacking the liver.

A few hours later she had a recurrence of profuse diarrhea and vomiting.

“I Googled again, to find what medical science could now offer in terms of treatments.

I talked with my mum in Australia, who sent a text to my brother, a doctor who is trained as a Rural GP anaesthetist in Cairns. He contacted me to find out more of the story and immediately researched Amanita Phalloides poisoning. He also discussed with his wife, a GP, and a friend, a Gastroenterologist, who were all very concerned about the high risk of fatality or need for liver transplant, and advised for me to re-attend hospital as soon as possible.”

She vomited again, and a third of the kitchen sink was full of green, transparent fluid.

“I realised I needed to go to Waikato Hospital. I had not been keen to go there as I knew there were COVID-19 cases in Hamilton, but it is important to be in an appropriate setting to get the correct medical care.”

At the hospital the National Poison Center was contacted once again. They advised to start IV fluids, give oral activated charcoal and an IV treatment to protect the liver, which is also used for paracetamol overdose.

“This time the blood test came back showing signs of dehydration and liver damage,” she says.

Some of the toxin travels to the kidneys, which gets removed with the urine. If the kidneys are severely stressed by the massive fluid loss, they can become poisoned by the toxin.

It was then 34-hours after ingestion. Anna managed to keep down some of the black charcoal liquid and was transferred to a hospital ward.

The treatment continued for the next day. Discussion was being held with the Liver Transplant Unit in Auckland and by that evening she was transferred to the High Dependency Unit.

With ongoing severe fluid loss, Anna was put on a cardiac monitor, oxygen saturation, respiration monitor and IV fluids.

After two nights in HDU, her liver results started to come back to normal. She was finally released back on to the ward and then to her son’s in Hamilton before finally making it back home to Raglan a week later.

Still feeling pretty rough, Anna only just managed a short walk a couple of days ago.

Her main concern now is to let people know that they should never eat foraged mushrooms, even if they think that they are safe, as it can be extremely difficult to tell whether a mushroom is poisonous or not.

“I have a friend who studied mycology (mushrooms) and then medicine, and she says even with her amount of experience she wouldn’t pick wild mushrooms for eating purposes.”

The National Poison Centre informed Anna that the last person in NZ to die from mushroom poisoning was 15-years ago and have identified the mushrooms Anna ate as Amanaita Phalloides, deathcap mushroom.

Anna has since found more mushrooms in the same spot and will contact the council to see what can be done to prevent others finding and eating the deathcaps that are likely to grow in the same spot.

Seek urgent medical advice if you think you have eaten poisonous mushrooms.

T

his week we spoke to Nadine from Atamira about how her retail business Atamira has been impacted by COVID-19.

How did you find the level 4 lockdown phase?

Lockdown was initially a surprise, then shock, it happened so fast. Think I was in a daze those first few weeks: confusion, curiousity, and emotions that often were opposites in a short space - really enjoying the slow spaciousness, opposite worry about the reality.

But straight away, we were able to work from home focussing on getting our online shop up to date, organising and tidying up our systems online.

Being a small business with all our systems online has meant we could adapt quickly to working from home and doing what we could. We had a few facebook meetings to keep us connected. The wage subsidy response was very fast and has been a lifesaver. You just had to figure it out as you went which I guess was what the government was doing, we all are doing.

Were you able to sell any goods?

Not initially but in week 3 or 4 we applied to MBIE to sell winter essentials - knitwear, shoes.

Living so close to the store and also being able to get orders ready for courier pick up by myself without staff, meant total social distancing was easy and safe.

What did you need to do to prepare for level 3?

Set up contact less payments, clear information about click and collect procedures, hand sanitiser in store, maintaining the 2m distance.

What is Atamira able to offer at this level?

We are able to sell everything at level 3 online and staff can be in-store to work again - we are instore Monday - Friday 10am - 4pm. We offer free contactless ‘pick up’ in-store of online shopping or 'pop your head in the door’ shopping for locals. We have added our Gift Vouchers online too for ISO birthdays etc.It seems safe to maintain the social distancing rules for a smaller business when it is just Raglan locals at level 3, which I hope will mean level 2 is functional for all of us in Raglan too.

What has been the most difficult aspect for you over this period?

Having to face the sudden reality of doors shut and know that future months/ winter could be difficult

to get through - that the year you thought you were moving through suddenly changed overnight and it's an unknown. A lot of which you can you do nothing about. A paradox as it’s both difficult and refreshing and has potential. It means a balance of surrendering to a new way and thoughtful adaption with it. The amount of effort needed to suddenly adapt to so much in these times can be exhausting too.

Has there been opportunities to learn how your business might be able to function differently?

Yes, this experience has shown we could become more online orientated and that maybe it is a necessity to expand your base in case things like this happen again, that we also do things differently from most retailers which has a value - maybe we aren't just retail. It also makes you become more refined in whats working and what's not and who you want to continue to work with (brands, distributors) and why Why are you doing this, why are you doing that?

Strangely online has become about connection for us at this time. The online support from customers NZ wide and locals has been heart warming, and really a glimmer or hope. Supporting local NZ small business is real.

Do you feel optimistic about the future - both short and long term?

Yes, but also know that it will take perseverance.

We don’t know what the next 6-8 months will bring but I do feel optimistic that we can become clearer, more resilient and that by focusing on our strengths and what we do well we could thrive in a more aligned way and it has catapulted that process. Quality over quantity. Would love to see NZ become more locally focused, in what we make, in community, in creativity, supporting NZ ideas and business - less overseas/ global outlooks or buying. Local markets, Friday night late night shopping, quality over quantity, driving our cars less, growing more of our own food, I loved walking the streets of Raglan with virtually no traffic on them …just bikes and people.

What are you most looking forward to when things return to normal, well a new normal…

Friends/ human contact … live music - but that might be a while.

Don’t Feed Your Pet Junk Food!

quality food tends to make the animal feel full and satisfied with a smaller quantity.

Babysitters Club wants to gift priceless time to families who need it most

Raglan girl and founder of The Babysitters Club, Georgia Meek, is keen to gift free time to essential worker parents once the threat of COVID-19 has eased.

I

t has always been our mission at Babysitters Club to create a positive difference in the lives of others. Parents, children, and sitters - we value connection, we value community, we value support.

We have been thinking of parents in the frontline and parents who own small businesses that have been largely impacted

by COVID-19. Parents who may not have had a choice to stay home with their families.

Parents who are nurses, supermarket workers, police officers. Parents who may be fearful about placing food on the table for their families in the coming months.

We have been thinking of parents who have had to place a brave face on our nation or for their children, who may have been stressed, but have had to place their own needs behind the needs of others. Parents who have desperately needed and deserved a break but have had to push through, because that’s what life is at the moment.

In this time, more than ever, the gift of time is priceless for any parent. Babysitters Club is committed to helping those who need

us most. We need your support to make this happen! *Babysitters Club is putting 100 percent of money donated directly towards supporting families in need. Yes we are a small business, but we believe in paying it forward and this is our chance to do so. We will return to our regular service once our nation is a safer place for both families and sitters.

HOW WE WILL MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OUR FRONTLINE WORKERS AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO ARE HEAVILY IMPACTED? Once the virus is no longer a threat to our country, and we can be in close contact with one another again, our frontline workers and small business owners will be able to redeem their Babysitters Club voucher. This will enable each family to have a sitter come to their home and care for their children. This will occur once the country enters into level two at a minimum.

In addition to providing free babysitting, the wonderful Blank Canvas Catering and WineFriend are gifting 80 deserving families with a home cooked family meal and a bottle

of wine to match it. That’s time, great food and wine. It’s like giving these families a hug without giving a hug! All money raised over and above will be provided directly as babysitting hours.

We operate in Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton, therefore will provide services to families in these regions.

OUR GOAL Our goal is to raise $5000 to provide 220 hours of babysitting to frontline workers and small business owners across New Zealand. Every dollar counts so lets come together as a nation. Let's support those who are struggling, and those who have been New Zealand’s champions. Let's provide these families with the world’s greatest gift - time.

We will be in touch directly with the frontline services to provide our assistance. However, should you wish to nominate a struggling small business owner

Residents of Raglan object to the World Rally Championship being held on local roads in September T he World Rally Championship has applied to Waikato District Council to temporarily close a number of roads in the Raglan region for a partial day on 1 September for reconnaissance and a full day on 4 September for the live race.

Prior to this application, in February of this year due to growing concern at the possibility of another rally, 42 residents and ratepayers of Whaanga, Ruapuke and Te Tuhi Roads signed and a letter addressed to the Mayor and Councillors of Waikato District Council objecting to the road closure with clear reasons for their objection stated. There was no response to this letter.

Now that the official notification has been published, Raglan residents who object to the closure are seeking support from other Raglan locals to also lodge an official objection. It is feared that without a large number of residents objecting to the closure, the rally will be given the green light as it is every year without due consideration of its detrimental effects. Residents state the the key reasons for objection are: The use of this road by the rally of New Zealand and other motor vehicle races causes disruption to business, significant damage to the road that takes months to repair, danger to stock, costs to residents in tyres, wheel alignments and other car repairs, damage to the environment, negative impact of

6 RAGLAN Chronicle

helicopters and drones and significant safety concerns.

The fact that Whaanga Road remains unsealed, despite less busy roads in the District being sealed since the 1980s, is evidence of the needs of the rallies being prioritised over those of residents, tourists and the many other users. This is evidenced by the following quote from Waikato Alliance when asked for the reason for the continued poor condition of Whaanga Road: "Moving forwards, I was hoping to continue with the unsealed stabilising works on Whaanga Rd in autumn of this year to provide a long term solution to the corrugations that appear regularly in places on this road but am understandably reluctant knowing that the World Rally may be using Whaanga Road again as part of its NZ / Raglan stage of the event. The damage done to the road surface by such an event would eliminate any benefits provided by the stabilising works so it would not be financially prudent to invest a significant amount of ratepayers money for what could ultimately result in no benefit. I am hoping to find out what Councils decision is regarding the Rally in the coming weeks as it is a Council decision and not one made by the Alliance."

Further to this, residents believe that a motor rally should not be permitted on Whaanga Road because:

Rally contradicts rural road safety messages, including the Council’s own safety campaign.

There are serious health and safety threats from vehicles, spectators and helicopters causing distress and possible injury to stock.

Rally encourages trespassers and freedom campers and creates personal safety concerns for residents Rally damages rare and delicate plants and aquatic life via sediment thrown off road.

Rally exceeds permitted noise limits for the area Rally places a heavy toll of stress on rural residents at a busy farming time of year Rally disrupts the running of farms and other businesses Rally risks damage to fences and farm structures adjacent to the road.

Rally causes serious damage to the road with an estimated repair cost of $100,000 Large volumes of road surface removed by rally cars in one day should require a resource consent by WDC rules (estimated at 100 to 400 cubic metres of material over 10 km).

Rally prevents many locals and visitors from going about daily businessDirect and indirect to costs to residents and visitors to area.

No evidence of benefit to local Raglan businesses or the community as a whole.

The road is not currently maintained to a reasonable standard and has not been restored to a reasonable standard after previous rallies.

The fact is that the road is already dangerous enough from occasional vehicles driving too fast. And, logically, this use of the road condones this type of driving and sets a benchmark for the many “wanna-be” race drivers who already race along the road.

Residents report increased bad driving in the weeks before the event with incidents of people “practising”, as well as cars racing on the road after the event. While this is not sanctioned by the governing body, they and the Council are powerless to stop it happening.

The residents of Whaanga, Ruapuke and Te Tuhi Roads who oppose the closure of the roads for the World Rally Championship would sincerely appreciate support by other local residents.

If you would like to object to the proposal please lodge your feedback by email to tmc@ waikatoalliance.co.nz by 5pm, 29 May 2020, or in writing to: World Rally Championship Proposed Road Closures, Waikato District Council, Private Bag 544, Ngaruawahia, 3742. You can also give your feedback to our local Councillor Lisa Thomson; mobile 021 179 8256 or email: Lisa.Thomson@ waidc.govt.nz.
