hess master Jules Danson is hoping to switch young minds on to the wonders of the

classic strategic board game.

She is running chess classes for young players of all levels – beginners to experienced – at the Old School Art Centre starting Friday, May 3 at 3.30pm – first class is free.

Passionate about chess, Jules started playing as a five-year-old, taught by her chess master father who also learnt the game when he was five.

The arts event celebrated its tenth year in 2019 with 37 artists participating from paintings to ceramics and perfomance art to the written word.

Many elements of Raglan's creative talents were on display and artists reported hundreds of vistitors going through their studios over the entire weekend.

Surely becoming a must-see event for art enthusiasts nationwide, this is the first arts weekend with new coordinator Nicky Brzeska at the helm, joining the passionate team at the Old School Arts Centre.

The Anzacs Cynthia never misses a parade, or chance to honour real trooper

C

ynthia Tucker was set to be at Raglan’s Anzac Day service at the cenotaph today, as always.

“I go to every one,” she told the Chronicle.

Except nowadays she takes the grandchildren along too.

Raised with two sisters on an isolated Ruapuke farm but now living in Gilmour St, Cynthia attends the service to remember her late father Rex Tucker, a trooper in New Zealand’s 18th Armoured Regiment.

Every year the now 64 year old reminds her family how lucky we are to live in this country. “We’ve got to remember them (the Anzacs),” she says. “They sacrificed a lot.”

Cynthia and older sister Pauline – who also lives in Raglan, on the way out to Ngarunui beach – remember their father with pride and shared this week the way his two years as a young man serving in Italy, Egypt and the top of Africa affected him and shaped their family life.

They recall how Anzac Day was one of the most important days of the year for Rex, certainly the only time this dyed-in-the-wool farmer dressed up and put on a tie. “All the farmers marched with such pride,” says Cynthia. “And they never missed the parade, even if they were sick.”

Rex may have always made the parade – or its forerunner, the church service in Raglan Town Hall right after World War II – but wouldn’t ever wear his service medals, Cynthia reveals.

Her father didn’t go to war for the medals.

“He said he went because it was the right thing to do.”

Even more precious to Rex than his medals were the two ‘dog tags’ he wore. The tags – so named because of their resemblance to those on dog collars – were stamped with soldiers’ regimental details, one to be left on casualties at all times for identification purposes.

“But Dad came back with both,” says Cynthia sombrely.

Almost as important as Anzac Day for Rex were the reunions he had with comrades for the rest of his life, the sisters agree. That’s where they gleaned more of an insight.

They remember traipsing as far north as Kamo, Whangarei, as a family to visit their father’s wartime mates and – within the district – attending regular reunion picnics on Wright’s farm just east of Raglan.

While Rex was both a flamethrower and driver in the tank corps, Pauline explains, local soldier Whit Wright was the sergeant.

“They had all lived together and had a lot of fun (in downtime) but the fighting was traumatic,” she says.

Other locals like Reg White and Sam Kereopa in the Maori Battalion – for which the 18th Battalion provided armoured support – became like family to their Dad and in turn to them.

“The bond was there right to the end of their lives,” Cynthia says of these brothers in arms.

They’d all gone to war from Ruapuke and Te Mata, the pair recall, thinking of it as a big adventure.

But Rex never talked to them personally about his experiences there until later in life.

“And Mum said not to talk about it,” Cynthia recalls.

They know however he suffered from shrapnel injuries in the back of his neck, and from nightmares soon after the war.

In one incident involving shrapnel, Cynthia recalls, their father was apparently slumped but struggled to sit up when he overheard a directive to “throw him over”. That story may have been embellished, she suggests now, but all the same it was a “ruthless, shocking world”.

Cynthia arranges memorabilia from her father's wartime days including his wallet, discharge papers and 'dog tags'.

Another near-miss came after he and

on the lookout for Japanese forces, as rumours were circulating at the time of an imminent invasion and landing in Ruapuke.

Raglan Rest Home and Hospital celebrates one year

T

welve months ago, a Registered Nurse in her mid-fifties purchased a small stand-alone Rest Home and Hospital in a coastal village in the Waikato. The purchase was something that she had dreamt of for many years but had never been in a position or found the courage (or stupidity) to make the move. It was a now or never situation and the purchase was made.

There were several stories floating around about small aged care facilities closing, abuse and lack of care (even in Hamilton) no staff etc.

The Registered Nurse was not going to allow this to happen in this Facility – when she went into this building that was built in 1953, with views of the sea on three sides, sun shining in, she felt that this could be a place of peace, love, friendship and family – a good place for people to come and live when living on their own was no longer the best option for them; or if they or their carers needed a break from their daily struggles.

Of course, there were fears and anxieties – was she good enough to carry this off?

Was she just a dreamer? Would it be able to survive financially? Would she make through audit without feeling despondent and beaten? Would the community like her – she wasn’t a “true” local after all?

Twelve months on and it was the third of April 2019 and Raglan Rest Home and Hospital was ready to celebrate its first birthday - it was a quiet celebration with the Staff on duty and a time of reflection; the year had been a journey – there have been many challenges with highs and lows, as was expected.

The Registered Nurse discovered that maybe she could do this thing, the greatest achievement had been to see the residents, staff and families flourish and work together

to create an environment that is family orientated, comfortable and safe.

All the hard work had resulted in getting a 100% achievement in the Ministry of Health Audit and the ultimate achievement of 4 years certification (certification can be granted for 1,2,3 or 4 years). This is the first time Raglan Rest Home and Hospital has had such a great audit outcome and the Registered Nurse had survived this time – now she needed to make sure that the team could continue to improve and do it again in four years’ time!

Throughout the year the changes never stopped happening, the satisfaction of seeing the residents, families, staff, volunteers, GPs, Pharmacy and the wider community taking the Facility into their hearts and working so hard has been awesome.

There have been so many changes that it is hard to pick out which ones are more significant than others – it seems that all the improvements, small, medium and large, have culminated in a massive quality improvement.

To give an overview of the types of changes made, here is a short list: • Cleaning the Facility from top to bottom • Painting and upgrading bedrooms one-byone • Replacing linen, cutlery, crockery, cooking equipment, dishwashers and medical equipment • Buying new bedroom furniture, replacing chairs • Introducing cats and fish to the facility and having dogs visit every week The volunteer gardeners, donated pot plants and plants.

• Outdoor gazebo – utilised for parties, lunch and afternoon teas • The increase in the range of activities from Mums and Babies, Kindergarten and

School exchanges, the amazing Thursday afternoon “happy hours” with local Whanau entertaining us so well, music and crafts, trips and BBQ’s and most of all love and laughter • Staff training and team building • Volunteers who donate their time and services • Communication – emails, texts, open doors, Facebook, brochures and talking • Community involvement – volunteers, opening ceremony, memorial service, harvest festival, Mid-winter feast, Christmas Party, morning teas, Meals-onWheels • Changes to policies and procedures – streamlining and clarifying The team got together and a new Logo and Philosophy were formed – Loving Hearts and Caring Hands became the guide and from this point a mission statement has grown. There is dedication demonstrated every day to ensuring that Raglan rest Home and Hospital live up to the name and the ideals that it stands for.

There has been an increase in resident numbers, however, there is still room to grow and next year the focus is on continuing to improve and demonstrate that the Registered Nurse was not just a dreamer hoping to save what she saw as a jewel in the community.

All the time there is an awareness of how many physical things there are that require replacing or upgrading, included in this list are: • Carpet needs replacing • Mobility van that can transport people in electric wheelchairs as well as manual wheelchairs and can cater for the wider community • Exterior and roof paint • New electric beds in some rooms • More paint.

• New telephone system • New call bell system • New sanitiser • More gardening • More radiator heating to be added to the system and the boiler upgraded to cater for new radiators • More outdoor furniture So, what will the next year bring – there is hope that resident numbers will increase, that nothing else will break down and that love and caring will prevail and Raglan Rest Home and Hospital will take another step forward into the future.

The Role Women during the War

svrc1104

by locals

Service (VADS) began in the First World War and were mostly women who tended the sick and wounded under the Red Cross and The order of St John. Often despised by regular trained nurses, because of their lack of training and cosseted background.

Many ended up on the frontline running field hospitals and lost their lives in the line of duty. They were known as ‘the Roses of no- mansland’ and brought great comfort to the injured and dying soldiers. The Italians called them ‘columbine ‘ a term of endearment from the Latin ‘white dove’ meaning ‘love’ and the columbine flower is a symbol gentleness and peace.

On a more sombre note this day we remember the men and women who gave their so much so that we can live in peace.

Raglan township was buzzing last weekend as the Art Trail went into in full swing. Hundreds of people supported this wonderful event show casing some of the amazing artistic talent in the area. Meanwhile Raglan West had its fair share of visitors with three artists opening up their Studios in Nihinihi Street.

I introduced Encaustic Wax Art to over 200 visitors in Uenuko Avenue in my new studio appropriately called ‘Rainbow Studios’ (Uenuku, Māori meaning rainbows). I talked to people from all over New Zealand and abroad, as well as some of my neighbours who I had never met! A big thank you to the Old School Art Centre and all the support crews that made the event such huge success.

Six months in the planning it was the beautiful weather that finally helped to make the 10th Raglan Arts Weekend one to remember.

Please drink responsibly

As well as soldiers there were those on the home front who replaced the men mobilized in the military. Many women worked in ammunition factories, volunteered as air raid wardens, ambulance drivers and land-girls. Women also were allowed to join the forces. Along with education it changed the role of women in society for ever.

Youth “on board”

The Marine Matters team have enjoyed a busy summer with all the festivities for Māui dolphin Day, their advocacy work at the boat ramps and educating local children about this very special endemic species. Gemma, Janzelle and Mike took the dolphin show on the road and presented to all the students at Te Mata and Te Uku schools. 220 children learnt about Māui dolphin behaviour, biology and the threats the species face. The hugely engaged audiences came up with lots of ways to help save the species from extinction and it was clear there were many budding conservationists in the room. It was wonderful to bump into the same children at Māui dolphin Day and watch them battle their way through the obstacle course and answer so many questions correctly during the Māui dolphin quiz on the stage.

One of the drawings the Te Mata School junior class were inspired to make after seeing the team’s presentation

Working together to save Māui dolphins

WEC’s Marine Matters summer advocacy programme at the boat ramps has now reached over 1,500 people! The team have been chatting with the general public about the critical status of the Māui dolphin population and handing out collateral to encourage all sightings to be reported to the Department of Conservation (0800 DOC HOT). This type of citizen science assists DOC in tracking the population and their habitat preferences. This information shapes conservation measures put in place to save the species from extinction.

Fishermen and boat users are our ‘eyes and ears’ out on the ocean and are a crucial resource in the conservation effort. Over 750 boat users were surveyed this summer and it was discovered that whilst over half of the respondents could identify a Māui dolphin, on average only 23% knew to report sightings to DOC. These findings illustrate the need for awareness projects of this kind.

We are proud that the advocacy programme has been successful in reaching so many people through Māui dolphin Day, the boat ramp surveys and the school presentations.

Every five years the Government reviews it’s Threat Management Plan (TMP) for Māui dolphins and this year you can have your say on what this plan should include. The TMP aims to ensure that the long-term viability of Māui dolphins is not threatened by human activities; and to further reduce impacts of these activities. The review includes a public consultation period where individuals will be able to make submissions on the various TMP options put forward. This consultation period will begin in late May for six weeks. Gemma from the Marine Matters team will assist DOC in delivering this in the Raglan area. To prepare the community to have their say in the TMP we will be holding a Māui dolphin themed Science Night on 23rd May at Orca Bar. Turn up at 6.30pm for your dose of marine mammal science from two renowned Māui dolphin scientists Wendi Roe (Massey University) and Rochelle Constantine (Auckland University).

Community Coastal Clean Ups

This summer WEC’s Marine Matters team coordinated two coastal cleans ups with the awesome Whaingaroa Community. On the 5th of January, 48 people worked to pick up 5,697 pieces! nearly 0.75 m3 weighing around 40 kgs. Last month, over 45 volunteers picked up 3,250 pieces (~1 m3, weighing 75.62 kgs) in the Inner Harbour. That’s a lot of rubbish removed from our marine environment! Keep an eye out for the next clean up to come in July.
