NZTA Waikato transport system manager Karen Boyt says construction is due to be completed on a slow vehicle bay on the Raglan side which will be sign posted shortly and they are continuing to explore other pullover areas between Waitetuna and Raglan.

The safety improvements also include installing sections of road side barrier in some high-risk locations “Work is progressing well between Waitetuna and Raglan. We expect to be able to complete work in this section next year. We expect to release updates on the other sections when we have more information.”

While not confirmed, at this stage NZTA expect to complete the following works over the coming months.

• In the vicinity of Waitetuna Valley Road - improving the road surface on a significant curve on SH23 between Waitetuna Valley Road and the nearby bridge (by end of year)

‘‘The proper use of will-power is not conquest and subjugation, but the disciplined control of your own attention.”

• Near Cogswell Road earthworks opposite Cogswell Road to allow for some road widening to provide recovery room (reducing run off road risk) and at the same time removing some unforgiving roadside hazards (trees, culvert) • Near Te Mata road - visibility improvements “We will do our best to minimise disruption to traffic. There will be no road works over the Christmas and New year period,” she says.

A programme of improved speed management to provide a significant reduction in the number of people who are killed or seriously injured on our roads is being developed by NZTA, Boyt says “The Waikato Region programme will include a review of speed limits on State Highway 23 (including at Te Uku) and we expect this to occur in the next six months. The exact speed and any other measures associated with this will be confirmed during consultation.”

A petition to reduce the speed limit collected by Te Uku residents was received by the NZTA at the end of July.

Kiteboarder 'foils' way into Coastal Classic history

Matt's triumph: Standing on the back of his support boat after the finish. He says he couldn't have attempted the Coastal Classic without the support of his crew on a 9m RIB - thanks to Morgan Coster (forefront), Jim Burcham and Luke Wigglesworth.

Y

ou’ve got to hand it to Raglan daredevil Matt Taggart – he sure doesn’t do things by halves.

Most yachties would be content enough skippering or crewing the 200odd boats that typically turn out at Labour Weekend for the PIC Coastal Classic from Auckland to Russell.

But not Matt. Instead it was a “dream realised” the weekend before last when he unofficially completed the challenging 220km event kitesurfing with his race hydrofoil.

It was a challenge that the 47 year old reckons had been on his bucket list since opening his Ozone store downtown and finally settling in Raglan just over a decade ago.

Back in town last week he was still feeling stoked at having ticked off his latest feat and to have reached the finish line in the Bay of Islands nonstop in 6.45 hours – beating the iconic Kiwi race yacht the Frank Racing 60ft Trimaran (ex Vodafone) by 23 minutes.

In total Matt kitesurfed 270km to complete the course due to a head wind for the first 65km.

Two kiteboarders have completed the annual race previously but Matt and top Ozone racer Sam Bullock were the only ones this time to to battle it out, on hydrofoils powered by Ozone race kites.

For Matt that meant beating into wind on a messy sea, wiping out now and again and getting “jelly legs”.

“Once we rounded Kawau Island we could reach but being on one tack for 150km non-stop was pretty brutal,” he laughs. His average speed for the distance was 23 knots or 45kph.

But he’s also returned from the race convinced that “foiling is the future” for kitesurfing enthusiasts.

Adventure sports are nothing new for Matt. In fact they run in the family.

His father was in the SAS and a hanggliding pioneer in England back in 1973.

“I was strapped to Dad’s back when I was five, those are my earliest memories,” Matt recalls.

Growing up on the Isle of Wight, Matt says, he was always into watersports. Straight out of school from the age of 16 he swapped his textbooks for hang-gliding, windsurfing and sailing. He eschewed tertiary education and says life “was my university”.

Matt also made sails for a living – a portent of things to come – and crossed oceans multiple times while working aboard both race and superyachts.

Paragliding and yachting professionally for eight years followed, till Matt’s passion led ultimately to he and an associate co-founding Ozone Kites in the UK, with a shift soon after to a design office in the south of France.

From there the brand’s gone global. It’s now in 85 countries all up, he reveals, and has had a presence in Raglan for the past 12 years.

As might be expected Matt’s family are all avid kiters. Wife Rebecca “is a charger” on the freestyle side while

Matt, right, with Raglan's Ozone manager Morgan who fronts the Volcom Lane shop.

daughters Ruby, 11, and Milla, 10, are among more than a dozen or so local girls involved in the sport.

Meantime he and the girls get their adrenaline fixes whenever they can – a tandem skydive in Taupo the latest venture.

“Epic weekend … no fear … no holding back,” Matt posted proudly of his young daughters on Facebook.

Matt’s done a lot of skydiving over the years but kiteboarding now rules his world. It’s a “really cool” community sport, he says, with the whole ocean at your feet. It’s not confined to one space. “You can go wherever you wish, powered by the wind.”

He reckons he’s been addicted since a 1998 windsurfing holiday to the Hawaiian island of Maui, where he first saw big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton in action on a board with a basic kite. “I had to give it a go, the mix of watersports powered by a wing.”

The gear was very basic back then of course, he says, but the designs these days ensure kitesurfing is safe and easy to learn.

Matt says the sport’s evolved to the point where it’s on track to become a full Olympic sailing event. Kitesurfing is set to debut at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, having already debuted at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games held recently in Buenos Aires.

There’s also a huge opportunity to train up local youth, Matt adds, and this is where the focus now lies.

“We have a pathway towards getting Raglan male and female riders up and ready to be selected for the 2022 Youth Olympics, and a male and female ready for selection for the NZ team come the 2024 Olympics. ” for the NZ team come the 2024 Olympics in Paris. ”

WRAP

Some of the new eateries that have popped up around town recently.

R

aglan is heating up this summer with new cafes and bars offering locals and tourists new taste sensations.

The three new cafes are either open for business or close to it, and will provide more dining options as the town heads into the busy season. Dining stalwart The Raglan Club will also hit summer with old favourites and new flavours on the menu, and a brand-new look.

First off the starting blocks, Isobar opened its doors in August under the wing of Te Kowhai-based Pilot Brewery. Director Dan Readman, a commercial pilot by day and beer enthusiast and brewer by night, is also founding member of Pilot and a Raglan local.

The day-to-day running of Isobar is in the hands of general manager Rachele Honcharik and restaurant manager Nelly Conway, and a crew of familiar and new faces front of house.

Open Monday to Wednesday, 8am to 4pm, Thursday to Saturday, 8am to 11pm and Sunday 8am to 5pm, serving breakfast, brunch, lunch and sophisticated finger food at night. There’s Pilot beer on tap, of course, plus a couple of other local craft brews - Catalyst and Rifle Ranger from Three Fat Pigs and a changing tap from Brewracracy.

Thirsty Thursday has become popular with locals with live music and happy hour, the Isobar are keen to hear from musicallyinclined locals looking to play to an appreciative audience.

Expect more from Isobar as the outdoor sandpit area makes way for a garden bar and the menu gets a makeover as well.

Raglan Roast Food Department will be bringing their perfected pizza slices, worldrenown Raglan Roast coffee, gelato and quick and easy breakfast and lunch menu to the sweet little spot on the corner of Wainui Rd and Bow St, which was once Black Sands.

With a larger space and minutes’ walk from the harbour the town version of Raglan Roast Food Department will be the quickest and easiest value for money to bring the whole whanau down for their daily coffee and croissant or breakfast wrap. There’s also plenty of tasty options available for vegetarians and vegans.

Prop up by the window with a tasty meal and catch up with passers-by or get it takeaway on the way to work or the surf.

Open 7am-6pm, Monday to Sunday, it’s perfect for all the pre-work coffee fixes and

into the evening for a post-surf refuel.

Due to open the second week of November, with a great staff of locals and long term Raglanites, great tunes and surf inspired décor, and you can’t go past their coffee perfection.

Keep an eye out for the opening of George’s Beach Club as former Bow Street Depot gets a new lease of life.

New owners Dean and Tracey Teddy are gearing up for a relaxed beach vibe with the new refit and hope to be up-and-running mid to late-November.

Carrying the Good George brand, there will be a plenty of the iconic Waikato beers and ciders available along with a complement of wines to sup in the new look garden bar.

Diners will be greeted by the aromas wafting from the purpose-built wood fired pizza oven in the outside kitchen and as well as delicious pizzas there will be the usual menu suspects, shared food and snacks.

What will set them apart is the everchanging blackboard menu, which chef Dean says will provide lots of delicious surprises every night using fresh, seasonal and local produce.

Open Monday to Sunday, 11am till late and ideal for those afternoon drinks and nibbles or sunset dining with family and friends.

Many will have noticed the developments happening at the front of the Raglan Club and there’s also a heap of work going on inside and out back – with the stage moved, general spruce up inside and out, and a children’s playground and acoustic fence in the garden bar.

President Debbie Dalbeth says members and the executive have generously volunteered time and materials to the revamp and they look forward to opening the new deck out front by Christmas.

Keep an eye out for new flavour developments on the Left Hand Break menu as the team trial summer specials throughout the coming months – a kawakawa boil-up ravioli was a huge hit on the special’s menu recently.

The kitchen is open Wednesday to Saturday from 5.30-9.30pm, Sunday 122pm and 5.30-9.30pm, and can cater for events, cakes for all occasions and take-away deliveries.

I am happy to report that the Club is alive and well and thriving on a surge of interest and activity. The Club is about to begin the season with an open day aptly called the ‘Have a Go Day. “The Have a Go Day gives everyone a chance to come along and experience the magic of sailing,” says club Commodore, Chris Mitchell. “A big emphasis of the club has always been the Learn to Sail Programme and the Have a Go Day is an invitation to all the Raglan community to give it a try.”

The Sailing club is located in picturesque Lorenzen Bay where the sheltered tidal shallows and easy access to the upper harbour provide a safe learning environment for all ability levels.

New faces at the club this year include coach Kirsten Moratz. Kirsten is a professionally trained and qualified sailing coach who has been running the popular and successful Learn to Sail Programmes for Tauranga Yacht Club as well as further afield in her country of origin, Canada.

“Having Kirsten on board is a real bonus for the club and for Raglan,” says Chris. “She brings a wealth of international knowledge and experience and is the perfect person to run the Learn to Sail Programme.”

Workshop with the Whaingaroa Bee Club

Animal Health Column For Raglan People + their Pets

Your animals need sunscreen too!

S

ummer is coming so it is time to slip slop, wrap and

bring out the sunscreen not only for yourself but for our furry friends too.

Michael Becker catching a swarm of bees.

T

he beautiful spring weather has prompted a wonderful flurry of activity and our honey bees have been foraging throughout the Whaingaroa/Raglan area, with precision and grace.

With November just around the corner the Whaingaroa Bee Club is holding their monthly meet and a bee workshop.

November's workshop will be covering practical knowledge of wasp eradication, initiatives on how the community can benefit from bees, and guidance around swarm season. Bee keper Jane Easton will also be bringing her wonderful packaged 'bee bomb' annual seeds, which can be purchased on the night.

We welcome all new members from the Whaingaroa / Raglan area who have a genuine

interest and enthusiasm for the humble bees.

Our evening get-togethers are informal and fun, allowing for sharing of information, items of interest, photos, and an opportunity to ask beekeeping related questions.

So if you are a hobbyist bee keeper or simply have a love for bees, come along to our next gathering where we are running an informal workshop, Thursday the 8th of November 2018 at 7:30 - 9 pm at Raglan Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart Street Workshop cost is $5.

Thereafter, our Whaingaroa Bee Club meet on the second Thursday of every month 7.30pm in Raglan. $2 gold coin koha entry. Note - venue to be advised each month. Check our FB page out to keep up to date each month for location and confirmation of or bee meets.

W

e had a great gathering for this event with entries from Te Kuiti, Rewa, Tokoroa, Putaruru, Morrinsville, Frankton Junction, Frankton Railway, Hillcrest, Claudelands, Taupiri, Huntly, Te Awamutu, Cambridge, and

What a fantastic day. The weather was changeable, causing us to stop play a few times, but there was not enough precipitation to cancel the day.

At the completion of the day there were several teams having a nervous wait for the results as there were five teams all with four wins. With this happening it came down to who had gained most points during all four games. The top team was Dennis Meinging’s team from Frankton Railway with 79 points. Second was Dawn Small’s Team from Te Awamutu with 63 points. Terry Green’s composite team were third with 58 points and in fourth place was Ross Turner, Blue and Eileen Stephens form Raglan with 55 points. The unfortunate team was Annette Shiltons’ Team from Te Awamutu having 48 points.

Many thanks go to our sponsors, Ray White Real Estate’s Julie and Blair Hanna. Without such continued support our tournament would be very different. Patrons certainly were spoilt with our usually high standard of afternoon tea.

TWILIGHT BOWLS: Yes, it is now about to happen, starting on Tuesday November 13 with a report in time of 5.30pm for this first week. Teams of three persons can enter at$15 per person for the full 5 weeks of competition. Flat soled shoes are a MUST and we suggest a warm jacket/sweatshirt as it can get a bit cool. Contact Bob 021 825869 for entries and any queries.

Happy bowling,, Eileen Stephens

Yes that’s right our animals need protection from the sun too just like us, especially if you own a white cat or dog! You will know by your own experience how painful sunburn can be and we are seeing a higher number of skin related cancers due to sunburn.

There are many other ways to protect your dog this summer, you can buy sun suits which are especially useful for white cats and dogs, and don’t shave your long haired dogs’ hair too short. Always allow your dog to be able to move out of the sun into the shade.
