Book launch celebrates community in new community iHub

Sarah Johnson , left, and Deborah Hinde are the author/illustrator duo behind Enough: A story about community.

T

he latest picture-book by author / illustrator duo Sarah Johnson and Deborah Hinde, Enough tells the story of Hana and her efforts to ensure that everyone in her community has enough. Enough to eat, enough to wear, enough company and warmth.

The book has been published with the assistance of a special grant from Copyright Licensing New Zealand. The 2020 Special Round of Contestable Fund Grants were for projects that responded to the changed environment in the New Zealand writing and publishing sector during COVID-19.

“This is a story I’ve been wanting to tell for a long time,” says Sarah. “And the type of community culture – with people working together to help each other out – that the book celebrates is one that I feel is strong in Raglan. We saw it during last year’s lockdown, but it’s a more general way of being and operating as well. For me, it’s part of the pleasure of living here.

“Deb and I are very grateful to Copyright Licensing NZ for the grant, as it has enabled us to turn this dream of a story for children that celebrates community, into a beautiful picture-book that does just that!”

The pair are also pleased to be launching their book at the new community iHub on Wainui Road.

The iHub, which held its own official launch party last month, has been set up specifically to showcase and promote local experiences, crafts people and stories, as well as be a one-stop information hub for visitors to Whaingaroa.

Councillor Lisa Thomson says that the book launch will be first of what the iHub board hopes will be a regular string of community events.

important to both of us that we accurately portrayed a typical New Zealand community – not a flash community, just the type of community that you might find in any small or large town around the country. We wanted people to be able to recognise themselves and their street in the illustrations; that aspiration required a huge amount of work to make sure we got it right.”

“Part of our purpose is to provide a venue for sharing local perspectives, stories and events,” says Lisa. “Now the iHub is open, we’re busy looking at ways the space can be used to bring people together and support the community.”

Everyone is welcome to attend the launch, which is a free community event.

There’ll also be a chance to sample a famous-in-Raglan Feed the Kids toastie, and check out the new iHub and the gorgeous local merchandise on display.

Part of the proceeds from every sale of Enough will be donated to Feed the Kids Whaingaroa – a volunteer-run community group that makes sure local school students have access to nutritious school lunches.

At Saturday’s launch, $5 from every book sold will go to Feed the Kids.

Enough: A story about community will be launched at the new Raglan iHub on Saturday 10 July at 3:30pm, and everyone is welcome to come along.

Residents enjoy a real feast of culture

Raglan Four Square hosted their annual Indian Culture Night.

A

cold mid-winter evening did not deter something approaching 2000 locals from turning out last Friday to two quite distinct cultural events in the community.

Friday night’s menu – served buffet-style – included a lentil curry (dahl), a chickpea curry, chapati/roti and a traditional Indian pudding called rice kheer.

Meantime staff and students at Raglan Up to 1500 people descended on Area School hosted their most comprehensive downtown Bankart St for Raglan Four Matariki exhibition yet, attracting more than Square’s fourth Indian Cultural Night, 400 visitors with interactive art installations, feasting at long rows of tables and chairs on light displays, music, sculptures, a bonfire, vegetarian fare trucked down from the Sikh hangi and soup. temple in Manurewa.

“It was a huge turnout … far more than Meanwhile hundreds more converged on Raglan Area School for a Matariki exhibition honouring te ao Maori through art, poetry, waiata and thousands of lights.

The plunging temperatures saw some people coming and going from the supermarket reasonably quickly, but not before dining out in the carpark to the strains of traditional Indian music and taking in a performance or two of an Indian bhangra dance by a young troupe from the Bay of Plenty Sports & Cultural Club.

Satnam Bains, who has thrown himself into the local community since taking over the then newish Four Square five years ago, was pleased with the response.

“It went really well and there was food for everyone,” he said. He could only estimate how many came by the number of plates organisers gave out (to those queuing) but put the total number at between 1400 and 1500.

Satnam told the Chronicle the free annual event – which couldn’t be held last year because of Covid restrictions – was a way in which his family could share their Indian culture with the town.

His mother, Shaminder Kaur, used to prepare all the food in the small kitchen above the supermarket, but now she manages and oversees the whole operation from the kitchens of New Zealand’s largest Sikh temple which traditionally feeds a couple of thousand guests every weekend.

we expected,” said principal Louisa Barham.

Without the Covid restrictions of last year’s exhibition, teachers Celeste Cleason (music) and Kerry Alridge (visual arts) collaborated in an all-out effort to help bring the community together in a memorable celebration of the Maori New Year.

Deputy principal Quentin Browne opened the evening with a karakia while the roopu students sang waiata and performed kapa haka, Kerry told the Chronicle. “We had sculpture, we had thousands of lights, we had poetry, there was projection … lanterns, a glow-in-the-dark room, smoke machines, music, students’ own written songs about Matariki and lots of magic,” she enthused.

“All Raglan Area School staff have been fully supportive of this kaupapa and that’s a tribute to us as a kura,” Kerry added.

Matapihi Kindergarten also celebrated Matariki in style the following night, attracting 200 children and their families to its bush-clad site and mini lake off Te Mata Rd. A bonfire, shared kai and soup, waiata and the children’s own backlit installations ensured this year’s annual event was “definitely next level”, said a kindergarten Raglan Area School Matariki Exhibition staffer. The evening was topped off with a “magical” walk through the forest to look at all the fairy lights.

She heard one local dad describe the celebration as “better than Elvis” and another as “Matariki-lishous!”

Raglan Community Board June Update From the Raglan Community Board Meeting, 23rd June

O

ur June Community Board meeting was held on Wednesday 23rd June. Thanks to members of the community that came along to express their views, in the public forum. We always appreciate when members of our community give us feedback on topics/ issues. We heard from the community about Manu Bay breakwater, the new footpath at Papahua and local bus service.

Raglan Wastewater Consent Application The WDC and Watercare team presented the Board with an update on the wastewater consent application and showed us their proposed presentation to the community, due the following week. The Board gave feedback on the presentation.

Representation Review The WDC’s Democracy Team Leader went through the current Representation Review and was seeking feedback on the initial proposal, specifically in relation to the Raglan Community Board - our communities of interest, the boundaries, number of elected members, number of Councillors, community board or committee and name. The Board decided to check in with our communities before feedback to WDC. Public consultation will be open in July for the submissions.

Manu Bay Breakwater Council staff spoke to a recent independent report received. Board members requested a meeting asap with the relevant manager to discuss and understand clearly the next steps.

Report will be added to WDC/RCB websites.

Civil Defence Plan Update Councillor Thomson is working with Council staff to update the Raglan Civil Defence Plan and bring it to the Board for finalising.

Raglan Airfield WDC have appointed a consultant, Mark Haines to undertake a thorough and independent review of the airfield to assess safety, community concerns and Council’s obligation as manager. Timing for this is around 4 weeks. The red lines will be

remarked to outline the operational/runway zone. The proposed fencing is on hold until the independent review is completed; this will inform any further discussions/decisions moving forward. This review will be available on the RCB website when it is completed.

The brief to consultant and the consultant’s proposal will be available to view on the RCB website.

Papahua Walkway - Stage 2 Stage 1 is nearing completion. Discussion around Stage 2 design and route. The Board requested an onsite meeting with Council staff to discuss further before design is finalised.

Stakeholders (including Soccer Club) to be contacted and involved.

Places for People Update received. See update in Chronicle this week for more info.

Wharf Project Update report received. Please visit RCB website for further information.

Good turnout for the Wastewater Consent Renewal Meeting last week Great to see so many community members attending the Wastewater Consent Renewal meeting at the Old School Arts Centre. The Wastewater Team did a good job of presenting an update to the community and answering the many questions that came forward. It showed the large body of work that has been done over the last few years, the complexity and the commitment from the team to find a solution that is in line with hapu and community needs.

OPINION:

Waste Minimisation

R

aglan’s commitment to reducing our collective environmental footprint is obvious to everyone who comes to town. For more than a generation, through organisations such as Xtreme Zero Waste, Raglan has been leading the way in community-driven waste minimisation, recycling and education programmes. Their stories of struggle and success are also stories of hope.

That is why I was especially pleased when, last week, our government committed to phasing out many hard to recycle and single-use plastics over the next four years. It builds on our existing work to ban single use plastic bags that is estimated to remove more than two billion single-use plastic items from our environment and landfills each year – and we know New Zealanders are ready to do more.

I was even more excited that Minister Parker launched the $50 million Plastics Innovation Fund to help support projects that reimagine how we make, use and dispose of plastics. There is a

recognition that many of the solutions sit locally. We need to back New Zealanders to innovate, find solutions and then scale them up. The fund will help tap into our collective ingenuity to find ways to use less plastic, and make what we do use recyclable for the benefit of the environment – while also boosting jobs and supporting the economic recovery.

Funding will be available for innovative projects from designing out waste in products and packaging, or adopting and scaling up existing technologies, through to switching materials and developing recycling solutions not currently available. It is intended that the fund, which opens in November, will attract a wide range of applicants from research institutes and businesses as well as sector groups, communities, and Māori organisations.

Our Labour team is committed to moving Aotearoa New Zealand towards a low waste, low emissions, circular economy. My hope is that our local innovators will take advantage of this opportunity and continue to lead New Zealand in tackling the impacts of plastic pollution.

heck out live music at the Old School Arts centre this July with these two performers: JAZMINE MARY Jazmine Mary is a Neo Folk Artist from Gippsland Australia. Her surreal rose-tinted sounds will allow you to be transported somewhere bold and watery.

Her debut Album 'The Licking of a Tangerine', was recorded late last year at Auckland's Roundhead Studios and released early 2021 with two back to back sold out shows in Auckland. The first single Dancer remained in SRN charts for 6 weeks and charted in the NZ Official music charts.

“These beguiling, transportive songs will have me coming back to this album for a long time” - RNZ

FRASER ROSS Fraser Ross is back in NZ after three years of living in Scotland, where his eccentric alternative folk was described as "like a Kiwi Billy Connolly". His second LP, 'Life is Magic, Where is my Rabbit?' (2018) established him as a serious talent and a brilliant, loud-shirted presence within the New Zealand underground.

Fraser Ross has played at numerous arts festivals, including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival, Wellington City Summer Sounds, and the Christchurch Nostalgia Festival.

There are also ten Māori Built Heritage grants to support projects focused on revitalising vulnerable mātauranga Māori within four built heritage areas: traditional buildings, tārai waka, mahinga kai, and māra kai.

Applications open: 12th July 2021 - 20th August 2021.

Grants will be for projects able to be completed by 30th July 2022.

NOW LOCATED AT 10D NAU MAI ROAD, RAGLAN RAS Senior girls soccer team; Mia, Maria, Riley, Prue, Lani, Emma, Stella, Kaia, Sophie, Jordan, Isabeau, Sienna & Halena. back from overseas. Playing together long term has allowed us to develop deep and lasting connections and friendships with each other both as people and as players, which really helps with our teamwork.

What do the girls enjoy about playing in a girls only side?

Playing in a girl’s only tournament/ team creates a really safe and supportive environment for especially younger players to grow and develop their skills and confidence in soccer. It also encourages girls to keep playing.

How has the team been progressing this season?

It’s been an encouraging season as we’ve won most of our games. We did lose a game 2 weeks ago though because it was the day after the school ball.

There are 4 sets of sisters in the team; Lani & Kaia, Emma & Sophie, Riley & Sienna, Jordan & Coach Adi.

T

his week the Chronicle had a chat to the Raglan Area School Senior Girls Soccer Team. They have four sets of sisters currently playing on the team including their coach Adi-Grace Mooar.

How long have the team been playing together for? What are the benefits of playing together long term?

Some of us have been playing together off and on since we were 7, others have joined more recently and a couple have just come

This season many players have been learning new positions as our formation has changed and new players have arrived. This has had a positive effect as players are more versatile and understand the game better.

We’ve started communicating and working together a lot more which you can clearly tell when we play.

What are you hoping to achieve?

We are hoping to have a really fun season together while developing our personal skills and strengthening our bond as a team.

Soccer or Football?

We mostly call it soccer although we’re aware some people get very offended by this but we’re just here to enjoy the sport.

Jordan, what’s it like being coached by your sister? not only coached by my sister, my dad also coaches me and has for the past 8 years, so I'm used to being the dummy at disposal.

She always takes her chance to push me and challenges me to improve and perform my best. Sometimes she'll even join in just to give me a hard time but it can be fun shoving her off the ball now that I’m bigger than her.

Riley, you were coached by your sister but now you play with her - which do you prefer?

I would much prefer to be in the same team as my sister as I don't have to get bossed around by her… as much. I love playing together and being able to share our skills with each other.

Committee member Jo CamenzindClarke reflects on the beautiful surroundings.

THIS PAGE WAS BROUGHT TO YOU THANKS TO SPONSORSHIP FROM DIRECT TECH LIMITED

“Last Saturday was a classic winter’s morning with a little bit of frost still on the fields. The location is awesome; away games can be fun but Raglan football fields are definitely an epic location, kids everywhere and dedicated coaches volunteering their time.”

Last week the perfect conditions matched the play of Jo’s youngest son’s team, the Snappers, “They played an evenly matched game with great team-work, skills and goals”.

Things to look forward to in the second half of the season are the First Kicks inter- First Kicks finish, 28th August. 7th grade and up will end the season on 4th September. cluster festival, and 9th grade and up can enter a 5 a side tournament.

Jo started to manage her eldest son’s team in 2011 while Mark coached. Jo joined the committee over 5 years ago, “There’s a lot of behind the scenes work, but it’s so cool when you see the boys and girls having fun playing football, making friendships, and improving their skills”.

Jo’s daughter now plays for RAS Junior Girls, a step up from the junior club, “RFC has been run by amazing, dedicated committee members, but new committee members are needed to share the workload so that RFC can continue to run smoothly in Raglan for our children”.
