he Places for People, He Whenua He Tangata project team have been working on progressing a project to trial new public spaces in Raglan, to help create a more people-orientated and cycle friendly downtown area.

Each parklet will have public seating and new bike stands attached, the concept behind these parklets is to give extra space for pedestrians and cyclists to use and enjoy the downtown area.

Pastor Roger & Cheryll Peart

Max temp (C)

Two public parklets are planned for Bow Street, the designs for the parklets are being finalised with instalment expected in Feb 2021.

Sunday Services

Summary

The graphic above is representative of the parklet design that will be installed.

The seating areas will be there for people to enjoy in their lunch break, a place to have a rest when walking around town and a nice spot to sit and catch up with friends.

Parklets have been installed in towns and cities across the world with great success and we are excited to be getting our own specifically designed for Raglan. This is thanks to the funding that was awarded to the Places for People project from Waka Kotahi Nz Transport Agency’s Innovating Streets Pilot Fund. Projects similar to People for Places are happening in towns & cities all over the country through this pilot fund.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency’s Innovating Streets pilot fund supports quick & innovative improvements that can be trialled to create more people friendly spaces on the road reserve. By using this approach to test what works for communities we can create attractive, vibrant places that make space for people and help to support local businesses.

This is a wonderful opportunity as it allows us to temporarily trial new ideas, on the ground, get a feel for how they work and then decide if we want to keep them or change them.

One of the limitations on this funding from Waka Kotahi NZTA is that it can only be used for projects on the ‘road space’ and not on existing green areas or public parks.

For more details go to www.nzta. govt.nz/roads-and-rail/innovatingstreets The Bow Street parklets will be constructed from modular interlocking parts that can be moved and rearranged in different locations and layouts. The initial locations for the trial period will be next to the existing raised crossings on Bow Street, one in front of Ali’s Turkish Kebabs and Raglan Fresh Fish, the second parklet will be installed next to the raised crossing further down Bow St near Trade Aid. During the trial period we will be seeking further feedback from the community, once we have had the opportunity to experience utilising this new public space. The project team is enthusiastic about the parklet design and the benefits this will have for our community.

Another part of the project is the Putoetoe Place area at the western end of town near Orca. Many members of our community provided valuable feedback for the area, much of which was in support of the project. The project team are currently holding constructive conversations with the directly affected businesses, ensuring they have the option to talk through their ideas and requirements. The project team would like to thank the businesses for making themselves available to discuss the project.

The decision has been made that anything that does happen in this area will not go ahead until after Waitangi weekend, once the busiest time of the summer peak has passed. This will enable the team to design something that works well for the community and allow businesses lots of opportunity to contribute.

also at HG Webb House, Cnr Boundary & Victoria Streets, Hamilton

Market co-ordinator Deb King expects a full day of birthday fun with a birthday cake, extra special entertainment, photo montage and much more.

“I know our stallholders will deliver a real party atmosphere at the December market and I hope Raglan will be out in full force to help us celebrate.”

Held every second Sunday in the month, this popular event was founded in 2005 by two local women, Nadine Meddings-Malone and Kim Garside, after the pair identified the need for a place to showcase local talent and enterprise. The Raglan Community Arts Council took over managing the market in 2007 to further promote the arts and increase visitor numbers in Raglan. Old School Arts Centre manager Jacqueline Anderson was employed as the market coordinator in 2009.

Operating rain, hail or shine, she says the stallholders are the stars of the market. “They are some of the hardest workers around, battling all kinds of weather from torrential rain, wind and hanging onto gazebos for dear life.”

Some of the long-term stallholders include Monika De La Cruz and Yannis Petzold from Ocean Inlays, Liz Stanway and Rick Thorpe from Taunga Kereru and Pat Alderson with her beautiful handmade sewing and knitted creations. Plus, many other regular stallholders who have been coming to the market for over 10 years.

The market has also been an incubator for local social entrepreneurship with some stallholders setting up shops in Raglan, as well as getting their products into other shops in Raglan and elsewhere.

New creatives keep jumping on board, with Enfys and Alaia Hewitt launching their PB23 peanut butter enterprise at the Market in May, Raglan Soapery’s Ayla and Casey debuting their stunning array of handmade soaps, Blissful Bites’ Lars and Narcisse with their natural handmade snacks and Pie

“In the scheme of things, it’s a small market but it’s rich in so many other ways and it has such a big heart,” Deb says.

Local crew gets training, employment and opportunity from Karioi possum control

A

Raglan team has become an expert in pest control, keeping on top of possums on their own property and that of other landowners.

Te Iwi Tahi O Kairoi was set up after an initial consultation with hapū about upcoming Possum Priority ControlArea (PPCA) work on their land within the Mt Karioi North block. All landowners or occupiers within a PPCA are required to allow Waikato Regional

Council staff and contractors to monitor and control possums on their property in order to protect and enhance biodiversity, enhance farm production and maintain the gains of previous or existing possum control.

Council contractor and EcoFX owner Kevin Christie says when approached, the hapū expressed a desire to do the pest control themselves, thereby preventing any issues with contractors unknowingly accessing tapu

sites and to create job opportunities for their people.

“This is special to this area. Not only did we help them to control their own land, but they have also ended up subcontracting to us to do the entire block and helping us work on other priority possum control areas across the region.

“It’s given these guys training and employment, and a load of new skills and experience for future work opportunities.”

Kevin and his team trained up the Raglan crew in health and safety and they become certified in the use of controlled substances, LUVs, 4WDs, motorcycles, quad bikes and first aid.

“When we started, they thought they knew something about pest control … they knew very little in the beginning but now they are experts.

“The boys working their own land is the best outcome, but now they can go and do a contract anywhere in New Zealand and have been working alongside my team.”

Te Iwi Tahi O Kairoi team leader Sandy Hounuku says it was a no brainer to want to do the work themselves.

“We have been doing pest control on our land since about 2006, anyway. We could see

the utter devastation that the possums were doing, and we wanted to try and do some work ourselves to reduce the amount of 1080 being dropped on the land.

“A lot of it starts at the marae; some of the whanau don’t want specific areas interfered with and we stay away from these areas of significance without getting into issues with process yet still getting a good catch rate.”

Like the EcoFX contractors, Te Iwi Tahi O Kairoi had a performance-based target of a 5 per cent residual trap catch (RTC) or less to meet. The RTC is the number of possums caught per 100 traps using a standard trapping protocol. If native plants and animals are to survive and flourish, research shows the RTC needs to be below 5 per cent.

For the 675ha Mt Karioi North block, the team reduced the catch rate down from about 8.97 per cent to 2.12 per cent within six weeks during the winter season.

“In my time, I’ve seen the mountain go down and I’ve seen it come back,” says Sandy, who has lived in Raglan all his life.

“The health of our maunga is up to every landowner. For me, being able to have our field team roll out of bed and work your own land is pretty cool.”

Raglan Naturally appoints trust board R aglan Naturally are in the process of establishing a new Trust Board, which will pick up and progress the work of the Raglan Naturally Committee and support community-led development and implementation of projects and aspirations in our community plan.

The Trust Board comprises seven members, a partnership between hapu, with representation from the Raglan Community Board and the community.

Hapu have determined their representation and have appointed Rolande Paekau for Tainui hapu, Taruke Thomson for Ngāti Hourua, and Jo Kukutai for Ngāti Māhanga.

Tony Oosten has been appointed by the Raglan Community Board.

In August, the RN Committee opened nominations to the wider community for the Raglan Naturally Trust Board. We are very pleased to announce that the result of this process was to appoint Louisa Barham, Rachael Goddard and Craig Mitchell as Trustees.

Thank you to all those who were involved in this process over the last few months and to all those who support the work that Raglan Naturally is doing for our communities.

The RN Committee are really excited about this new team and look forward to supporting them as they take on their new role together.

The RN Committee and RN Trust Board met twice in November to share more about the RN journey over the last 3 years and to work together on the way forward to establish the RN Trust.

The Department of Internal Affairs has partnered with Raglan Naturally, via the DIA’s Community-Led Development Programme.

Lenadeen Simpson, Community Adviser met with the new Trust Board to introduce the partnership and how we might work together to establish this new exciting model.

It’s awesome to be part of community-led work and to have the support through this Programme!

Next Steps After lots of planning, with input from the community, and the creation of our ambitious community plan - it’s time to get stuck into supporting some of the community ideas and aspirations! The next step will be to ascertain which projects can be prioritised, and how they will be implemented with support,

in the way. The job of somatic exercise is to help the brain do its job properly.

The brain controls the way we move, so if we want to change the way we move we need to work with the brain. Neuromuscular reprogramming is the name given to this approach. We work with the brain by feeding it new information, which in this case is information about how we are actually moving. We wake the brain up to what is actually going on.

The problem for us is that when the brain learns a new movement pattern – eg how to ride a bike, how to sign one’s name, how to protect an injured arm, how to not be noticed, how to cope – it may be a healthy pattern or not.

After a few weeks of repetition the brain sends the pattern code to older parts of the brain, for repetitive unconscious reflex activation.

The pattern becomes an unconscious

‘Our sensory motor systems continually respond to daily stresses and traumas with specific muscular reflexes. These reflexes create habitual muscular contractions, which we cannot voluntarily relax. The result is stiffness, soreness and a restricted range of movement…. Somatic exercises are a direct way to reprogram the sensory-motor system… and reverse this process. Bodily (limitation) presumed under the myth of aging is not inevitable. It is, by and large, both avoidable and reversible.’ Thomas Hanna, Somatics.

‘When activity is freed of tension and superfluous effort the resulting ease makes for greater sensitivity and better discrimination, which makes for greater ease in action.’ Moshe Feldenkrais. Awareness through Movement ‘You have to consciously become aware of your entire body and how it feels and moves….. Then, when you have the brain perceiving differences and integrating more parts of yourself, the improvement is fast and transformational.’ Anat Baniel

Ocean of flowers a triumph over ‘disaster’ A

flower farm that’s flourishing on longestablished beef-raising country in the foothills of Mt Karioi is a real case of triumph over adversity.

The venture began five years ago as an aquaculture business growing watercress in four water troughs inside a greenhouse, and soon Josh Cornes and partner Mika ‘t Veld were adding water chestnuts and lotus flowers to their offering of organic crops.

But then – in Mika’s words – “we got hammered by nature”.

“Pukeko ate all the water chestnuts and roots of (our) other crops, while the small New Zealand mud snail ate the watercress,” she says. “It was a disaster.”

So the couple had to completely change tack. The result is Moa Stone Estate – open to the public only since mid October – an enterprise and fledgling visitor attraction which among other things now boasts no fewer than 140 species of flowers and foliage.

For Mika, the switch made perfect sense.

She and Josh – who met at a Ruapuke music festival back in 2012 – had inherited at one point some prize-winning 35-yearold orchids in need of some TLC. So with orchids, lotus flowers and also water lilies on the go, Mika suggested one day they “do flowers” instead.

Being from the Netherlands, Mika reckons she was born and raised with flowers. But Josh, as a traditional Kiwi bloke, took some convincing it was the way to go.

However his “I’m a man” argument just didn’t hold water, Mika laughs, and now there’s a well-established ocean of flowers at the bottom of a steep hill on the Cornes family farm skirting Cornes Rd, off the Te Mata end of Te Hutewai Rd. “Wherever you look there’s something going on,” says Mika proudly from her cottage craft-cum-lotus tea tasting shop high above the flower farm. There’s lotus and water lillies blooming in summer, orchids in winter and other colourful flowers all year round.

Raglan florists buy the blooms, as do flower wholesalers in Hamilton, but Mika also has her own projects on the go including floral workshops at the farm.

The rudimentary driveway down to the glasshouse and netted greenhouses – where most of the flowers are grown in water troughs, safe from the snails – is lined with aromatic eucalyptus planted in 2016.

Both flowers and foliage are Mika’s specialty. Top leaves from the eucalypts are added to bouquets, she explains, while the bottom leaves are used to make her scented

oils. It all happens in the production room down by the glass/greenhouses. “I love to make a mess (here),” she admits, a mass of drying flowers hanging overhead.

Josh’s nephew Liam Dingle – a former Raglan Area School head boy – has recently come aboard as overall manager of the venture or, he reckons, to do the “hard yakka”.

Liam, previously in the hospitality industry, loves the change of pace. It’s a “destress” kind of environment, he says. The air is fragrant with the gums and oriental lilies, and a multitude of tadpoles in the troughs is testimony to the good water quality.

The farm’s own fresh spring water is piped along the banks to the troughs and warmed by the sun, which makes for quicker blooming of species which traditionally need warmer climates to thrive.

Liam’s mother Rachel – Josh’s sister – is also involved, offering reiki treatments in the zen room adjacent to the shop. Meanwhile family matriarch Margaret Cornes turns her hand to catering for visitors, the first of whom came just before Labour Weekend courtesy of a Raglan Shuttle excursion.

Mika got to know about the shuttle during lockdown when getting her groceries delivered from Raglan, and now promotes the service to groups or tourists wanting to visit.

As for Josh, he’s the craftsman behind the cottage industry, having created all the buildings on site – including their rustic floors and benches – from 120-year-old salvaged rimu. He also makes tiny decorative vases, sold in the shop, but is most proud of three handcrafted braziers on top of the flower farm hill.

Even after their early crop losses Mika and Josh wanted to keep growing organically, so they’ve continued to pull weeds rather than use chemical sprays.

While it’s back-breaking work “we’re slowly winning”, Mika insists, and now there are lots of perennials where weeds once reigned.

The business’s name derives from the unearthing of a treasure trove of Moa stones during site excavations, Mika reveals.

“We’ve had them verified and they’re all original,” she says, opening a handcrafted box displaying the gems. “Some are New Zealand opals.”

It was a no-brainer to name the venture Moa Stone Estate, she adds.

The weather was still mucky, but everything was doable. By the time our activities for the day were finished, it was sunny and warm; relaxing time had arrived.

We had a little free time before everyone had to meet in the dining hall for dinner. Some kids went to go on some of the activities that were still on, others went to chill in their rooms.

Our alone time was wasted fast; dinner didn’t make up for it. Thinking of sleep, we all made our way to our dorms. Running, talking, and laughing were perfect sleep solutions for some.

For others, sleep was restless; it was like a necklace being tied in knots.

After a long night of no sleep, it was finally time for breakfast.

WAITETUNA SCHOOL NEWS A Funny SunnyAlan Summer Camp Waitetuna’ Wonderful Gibbs Sculpture Farm Trip

T

he Senior and middle room had the honor of going to the Gibbs Sculpture park on Thursday the 22nd of October.

We had all got prepared the night before so we could be at school at 6.30am for our three hour bus ride to Kaipara which included a quick stop in the middle to stretch our legs and go to the bathroom. When we got back on the bus and did the last half of the trip everyone started a challenge where you had to see how many cars or trucks you could get to wave at you. Once we got to a quiet road people started to get restless and were asking how much longer we had until we arrived at the park which ended up being a minute away.

The second we arrived the bus went deadly silent.

The size of the sculptures that we saw from our windows surprised us all. When the bus stopped we were all given a little booklet that allowed us to see what the sculptor was trying to interpret within their art.

We worked in groups. We had 4 hours to walk around and see the sculptures before we had to be back at the bus. Some of the sculptures were on hills. Some were in gully tip things and others were close to the path that ran through the farm. There were some that had just been added and some that were under like Waitetuna's senior classmaintenance camp. the Wind Wand.

I had three favourite sculptures, and my first ast was term Waitetuna class favourite Gerry Judah's school sculpture- senior called Jacob’s went on a wonderful class camp.

It was an astonishing experience for kids our age and although it's a bit of a walk it was so worth it - the sheer size of the sculptures are incredible. The learning experience and seeing the different ideas of what people think sculpture is and the different materials and where the sculptors come from, and the interpretations of the sculptures were also a great experience.

e Uku School senior students have planned an adventurous year of epic outdoor experiences from whitewater rafting, to skiing and surfing. Last Friday, we ventured into the ancient Te Pahu caves.

This is our time to play, explore, try new things and challenge ourselves in nature. There is a stream running through it that some of the kids like to clean out and play with the sticks. This can get very muddy. Others learn how to look after nature by picking up any rubbish that they find there. We say it’s good to learn about nature by playing!

Spectacular performance by Freedom2Fly students in end of year show

FREEDOM2FLY started in London where Jess and Jair taught professional dancers how to fly. After staying with Jessicas' parents here in Raglan they fell in love with this welcoming community and realised this was the perfect place to raise their little family. Starting small with a handstand workshop at a supportive local yoga studio in 2017 (THE SPACE) we realised there was a desire for what we offer for adults and children alike..
