hen Peti Regnier and her gym trainer Rebecca Mckechnie started organising donations from the Raglan community for her family and friends in Tonga, the country was dealing with the devastation from tsunami caused by the January 15 eruption of the undersea volcano HungaTonga-Hunga-Ha’apai.

To add to the small island nation’s troubles, cases of the highly contagious Omicron variant were confirmed and the country went into lockdown at the beginning of February.

This has meant the donations that were due to be shipped a couple of weeks ago are now on hold until the country comes out of lockdown.

Peti, who works at Raglan West’s Food Department, says so far, her village hasn’t been impacted by the Covid outbreak but she was disappointed the generous donations from the Whaingaroa community hadn’t reached Tonga yet.

With a population of around 106,000 people, Tonga now has close to 200 cases and climbing.

The vaccination rate in the kingdom has increased to 99 per cent for the first dose, 90 per cent second dose, 20 per cent for the booster.

It will take several years to rebuild and the island still hasn’t fully recovered from the 2018 cyclone, the Covid outbreak will only just hold up add to the hardships the Tonga people are suffering.

To find out how you can help contact Peti at regnierpeti@gmail. com.

Community raising children Neighbour 2 Neighbour

BY JANINE JACKSON

Neighbour 2 Neighbour mentor Isabel Crawforth with four-year-old Tomi Berends.

N

eighbour 2 Neighbour is using the adage 'it takes a village to raise a child' with a series of parenting conversations hosted by parents for anyone interested in parenting.

Coordinator/mentor Isabel Crawforth says the programme provides community and connection, and a way for people to

support each other on their journey of parenting.

“At its core it is about loving ourselves and our children better. Neighbour 2 Neighbour provides a space to come together to have conversations about our aspirations for our children and the aspirations for our community as a whole.”

Created by Ruth Beaglehole and adapted by the Te Mauri Tau and Parenting with Nonviolence team, the programme was

piloted last year with five hosts meeting in pods (small groups of participants) in homes around Whaingaroa.

“Not everyone feels comfortable in a workshop or in a classroom setting. The great thing about Neighbour 2 Neighbour pods is they offer a genuine space to hold honest conversations about parenting.”

A non-judgemental approach is a vital component to the success of the pods, Isabel says.

“We have all had moments on our parenting journey when we have behaved inappropriately, we wouldn’t be human if we hadn’t. Neighbour 2 Neighbour provides a safe space to share the ups and downs of parenting, and to learn from each other.”

Te Mauri Tau, Parenting with Nonviolence and Neighbour 2 Neighbour teams work closely with Ruth Beaglehole who has been a leading voice in the call to end the violence and oppression of younger human beings for over 50 years.

Since 2011, Ruth has done extensive work with Te Mauri Tau and until COVID hit she had travelled twice a year to New Zealand to support the Te Mauri Tau’s work through trainings and community dialogue, as well as to spend time with her family in Whaingaroa.

Isabel is looking forward to hosting Ruth at the end of March and hopes there will be opportunities for Ruth to speak in Whaingaroa about her work.

“Ruth is a passionate child advocate and has many inspiring stories to tell about people from all over the world who have been able to change their parenting habits and really connect with their children.

She promotes the practice of empathy, both with ourselves and our tamariki and learning that our own healing is a major factor in being able to become the parents we wished we'd had,” Isabel says.

The first Neighbour 2 Neighbour community conversation was held recently but Isabel says there are still opportunities for future pods and the Parenting with Nonviolence programme will also be starting again in May. For more information contact Isabel at isabel@maxnet.co.nz or 0273057638.

lans to transform the Whāingaroa (Raglan) wharf with new walkways, a pontoon, tidal stairs and give it a new look and feel are set to go ahead following feedback from residents.

More than 100 community members shared their thoughts on two possible design options for the western walkway and on what was important to them for the future of the harbour during a month-long consultation last year.

Pontoon We’ve completed investigations, including consultation with key stake holders, under water mapping, and arborist and geotechnical surveys, and have confirmed the layout of the pontoon. We are now wrapping up final details before we move to the next stage of this project.

In the coming months, we’ll look for a contractor to construct the pontoon and finalise its design. We’ll have more details on how the pontoon will look and what else may be included in the project once this stage is complete.

Construction is expected to start in mid-2022.

Walkways As part of this project, we are planning to create a western and eastern walkway at the wharf. The western walkway will feature tidal steps and terraces to improve access to water in two locations and will connect the existing walkway at the end of Wallis Street to the wharf. The smaller eastern walkway will connect the wharf to the proposed location for the new pontoon.

We’ll also carry out other amenity and safety improvements such as a new balustrade around sections of the wharf, improved lighting, tree planting, seating and storytelling features such as signage and integrated artwork.

In 2021, we asked for your feedback on two options for the western walkway. We received more than 100 responses from the community with the majority favouring option one.

This option features tidal stairs that are located closer to the wharf which will provide longer access to the water at all tides.

We are now working to finalise this design and will continue to keep you updated as we progress.

Construction is expected to start in mid-2022.

Harbour study Last year, we asked you to tell us what was important to you for the future of the harbour. During this time, we received feedback from more than 100 residents, stakeholders and hapū representatives. Some of the key themes include: • Improving and protecting the health and wellbeing of the harbour • The harbour should be a space for recreational activities such as swimming, kayaking, jet skiing, boating and fishing • Development should reflect the natural environment and be in line with the current look and feel of the wharf.

Taking into consideration the feedback we have received, we are now working on a draft of the strategy and hope to have it ready to share with you in late March 2022.

Places for People Parklets - Time for your Feedback

Scan the above QR code to provide feedback on the parklets on Bow St.

K

ia ora everyone. It's now eight months since we installed the two parklets in town and it's been great to see them being used regularly by young and older alike.

As we indicated during the design and installation phases we would be looking to do a survey toward the end of Summer to get your feedback on how you have found the parklets. Based on your feedback a decision will be made as to whether they stay and become permanent.

The parklets are part of a project funded by the government during the first round of Covid with the aim to create safer, healthier and more people-

friendly towns and cities. This project has offered the opportunity for us to test this new approach to codesign with the community, to trial the parklets and get local insight and feedback in real time.

The survey below is simple and quick for you to provide feedback and also to suggest any improvements you would like us to consider.

It can be completed by using above QR code or you can pick up hard copies of the form from the Raglan Library, Orca or Trade Aid. Feedback closes 11th March.

We appreciate you taking time to complete time to provide us with your feedback.

From Raglan Museum

How well do you know Raglan?

Raglan Business Chamber

A message from the chamber

B

e kind. It’s a refrain we have heard over and over again since the very first lockdown two years ago.

H

ow well do you know Raglan Whaingaroa, the reasons behind its street names, the significance of landmarks or the history of people who have passed through the area?

In an occasional series, Raglan Museum volunteers will reveal the town’s past – everything from the

demise of the Old School’s swimming pool, our oldest society (horticultural –it turns 120 this year) to the importance of Eva Rickard’s land protest.

Ever wondered where Norrie Avenue got its name, or what was below the rugby fields before the estuary was closed off from the sea? The series will provide some of the answers in words, photographs and maps.

Keep a look out in forthcoming editions of the Chronicle!

From Waikato District Council

Raglan airfield safety improvements

T

o ensure the safety of the community and pilots, Waikato District Council has temporarily closed Raglan Airfield to all planes.

The reasons for the temporary closure include: • Repeated large-scale vandalism of signs and the fence around the runway • The placement of objects such as road cones on the runway to prevent planes from landing • Unsafe behaviour by some of the protestors at the Raglan Airfield which includes stepping into the runway area when planes are attempting to land, and encouraging dogs to run across the runway area when planes are attempting to land.

• Encouragement of unsafe behaviour by some of the protestors on social media.

A white cross was painted on the runway area last week to ensure all pilots know that the airfield is temporarily closed. The usual temporary closure process is through CAA and NOTAMs to pilots. A cross on the airfield is an additional method in case any pilots don’t receive the NOTAM. Waikato District Council is committed to continue its improvement of safety at Raglan Airfield following recommendations put forward in an independent report.

Council is being guided by hapu groups regarding the future land tenure of the Raglan Airfield area.

The airfield will reopen once council has secured the site and reinstated the safety measures that have been vandalised.

As we enter this next phase of Covid I think we need to be more than kind – I think we need to actively support and look out for one another. We acknowledge it is tough times for everyone – we are all facing our own challenges but a quick check in with a peer or a neighbour can go a long way to helping someone through their day.

Everyday we are hearing stories from around New Zealand that businesses of all types are closing. They have made it through the past two years, but these final restrictions, after two bad years, have been the last straw. The Raglan Business Chamber does not want this to happen to any of our local businesses. We know we need every business in this town to last the distance, so that postpandemic times we are still the robust, vibrant town that we love to live in.

I think it’s safe to say most retail and hospitality businesses in Raglan seem to be luckier than our colleagues around the country this summer. Until Red, Phase Two we had loads of visitors in town who were keen to have a summer break away from Covid.

While this has been great for many local businesses, behind the scenes we have still been dealing with mandates and restrictions limiting our operations. Sometimes we have more customers waiting to come in than we are allowed on site. Sometimes we don’t

have enough staff to service the customers. Sometimes we don’t have any customers. Some of us cannot open at all due to the restrictions.

If anyone has friends or whānau in the retail, service, hospitality or events industry I’m sure you’ve heard the stories how the restrictions have impacted our working lives.

This is tough for our local teams and business operators – at the end of the day we are all just trying to earn a living, trying to provide the same great service and product under what can at times seem to be very restrictive regulations.

We know that it is not just customer facing business operators and teams feeling the pressure – we all face a moving landscape to keep our teams and our customers safe, and still deliver on promises made.

This is where we can all help each other - this is more than shop local. The chamber recognises that we can each do things to help each other get through this. Get to know your neighbours' contact details for emergencies; start a phone tree with other useful contacts that can offer each other support; share a helpful resource: make a quick call to check on one another; send an open ended offer of support – it all helps people not feel so alone.

The RBC has pockets of support and groups up and running. If you are in business and want to reach out and be connected please email: Lisa@orcaraglan.nz Be more than kind – really look out for one another.

Covid-19 News

Waikato rolls out Rapid Antigen Testing as labs reach capacity W

aikato is now the third region behind Northland and Auckland to roll out Rapid Antigen Testing at Community Testing Centres as local labs struggle to meet demand.

Waikato District Health Board Covid-19 response executive lead Maree Munro said its labs were already at full capacity.

Some COVID-19 test results for Waikato are currently taking longer to process. Waikato DHB’s laboratory continues to expand capacity but is advising that non-priority test results may require up to seven days at this time as there are still high numbers of tests being submitted for those who do not meet the criteria.

“We are seeing labs, reaching really, their full capacity and saying 'we can't deliver the results of tests in a timely manner, we need to do something about the demand that is coming in.”

As a result, Munro said it decided to use rapid antigen tests to combat demand.

Munro said the use of rapid antigen testing, alongside PCR testing, would speed up the process as demand continued to grow through the Omicron outbreak.

Munro said while there was a level of anxiety in the community, there was a high demand of people who wanted a test but did not meet the criteria - ultimately holding up those who did meet criteria.

testosterone: How about the girl that crushed the bowl? And the lady who got to the top of the net before any of the boys? And what about that fella who is sitting under the tree reading his book?

Research shows that boys DO have more testosterone than girls, but they don’t receive this in ‘bursts’ throughout their childhood. Instead, testosterone production is an ante-natal process. In utero boys develop testosterone, and the next time this takes place is way down the track in puberty. There is no other ‘boost’, ‘hit’ or ‘burst’.

Instead, we can look at child development with finer detail; varied activity can help express unique gifts and I propose every family ditch the gender narrative and instead seek out something new. Take paints to the beach, collect charcoal and draw with that, have a surf lesson, learn how to weave with natural materials, catch a fish (or at least try!)

Research shows that prenatal testosterone doesn’t affect brain and behaviour in humans the way it does in animals and birds, so we need to park the hormone claims for a while and let science explore this further. In the meantime, as we support youth to live autonomous lives free from the shackles of gender roles, we can find ways to support every young person. Active listening and trying new things can support this. Go and do something new today, you never know until you try.

“If they're not symptomatic, then they shouldn't be coming.

We are wanting to see those people who should be coming through the testing sites, not people who are asymptomatic and wanting the security of a negative result.”

Munro said RATs would be rolled out to all testing centres in the city this week, but for now they were at the Founders Theatre and Greenwood testing centres.

Twilight nights are tight

WITH ANEXA VETS

Tis the season of liver disease

F

acial eczema is a liver disease that affects farm animals, mostly sheep and cattle, between January and May, and right now the disease is starting to kick off. Facial eczema is like having severe sun burn as well as having a damaged liver.

Winners of Twilight: The Rogers

A

s the Raglan Golf Club's Twilight Competition, sponsored byJulie Hanna, enters its 10th week

there is very little room at the top of the leaders board as teams vie for poll position.

With 12 teams vying for places, only five points separate the teams!

“Twilight golf is fun golf,with non golfers combining

with club golfers in teams over 9 holes. We have a variety of 9-hole rounds, including ambrose, 5 clubs only and

Animals are susceptible to this disease when they eat pasture containing a fungal spore that produces a toxin called sporidesmin. The spores mostly reside in dead matter at the base of grass. Therefore, it’s best to not leave stock on pasture for too long so they can’t graze right down to the ground.

Affected animals present with secondary skin lesions on their body and/or ears and face. Other symptoms include ill thrift in young stock, weight loss and seeking shade from the sun. Facial eczema is very painful and can be fatal if not prevented in time.

Once liver damage is detected there is no treatment; medication can be given to make the animal feel more comfortable. Prevention of facial eczema is the best strategy.

The main preventative farmers use is by supplementing with zinc, usually in the form of an intra-ruminal zinc capsule/ bolus. The zinc bolus is administered with a special applicator and will last for 6 weeks from the first treatment. Other preventions include grazing on safe pasture/ crops, breeding for resistance and also frequently monitoring the number of spores in the pasture.

Anexa Vets annually monitors spore counts from several farms each week for 3-4 months. Farmers collect about a bread bag full of grass from multiple areas from the same paddock. These grass samples are then tested in clinic or sent to the laboratory. Results climbing up from 30,000 is a good indication to consider zinc bolusing.

If you’re worried about facial eczema in your stock, ring the vet clinic on 07 825 8390 to discuss this disease with our vets.

Winners of Twilight: Missing in Action normal golf to add interest to the competition,” added Robyn Aim, Twilight Organising member.

Another exciting development has been that each week there have been different teams winning the evening contest.

“A prize table awaits our top three teams as well as spot prizes being awarded. With the Kaiwaka Food Truck on tap it doesn't get much better,” enthused Robyn.

Only three rounds remain in this contest and any team could take out the overall winners prize on March 10th.

Piha surfer Bill Byers won the Under 18 Boys Division with local Navryn Malone taking the runner up placing. Natasha Gouldsbury (Tara) won the Under 18 Girls Division and Mount Maunganui surfer Tao Mouldey claimed the Under 16 Boys Division.

Competitors were welcomed by an unruly 1.5m swell at the start of the day but as the wind clocked to the west and increased to gale strength, the swell dropped before everyone’s eyes, leaving a clean but small 0.5m swell by the time the finals had concluded late in the afternoon. That was not before the gale winds whipped the ocean into a frenzy during the day making it impossible for some lightweight groms to surf.

Byers, flanked by a bunch of his mates, snatched the Under 18 Boys Division title with a minute remaining in the final when a Hail Mary wave popped up out of nowhere

allowing the natural-footer to reel off a series of backhand reos until the wave had nothing left to give. The ride netted him 5.63 points for an 11.63-point heat total.

“Yeah well, Navryn was out there in the lead and he went on one wave with about three minutes to go and there wasn’t long left and I thought there wasn’t much coming for me but there was one sneaky wave that I caught and I got what I needed” said Byers.

“I was hoping to do good this weekend, those aren’t really my conditions, but I gave it my best and did what I could and yeah, I’m frothing to win. I can’t wait for the final event of the series at home, hopefully it is big and staunch, I would love that” he added.

Byers’ win came at the expense of local Navryn Malone who led for 19 minutes of the final. Malone finished with an 11.83-point heat total and a runner up placing. Not far behind was Kaikoura surfer Tyler Perry on 11.57, himself making a good challenge for the win on his final wave but coming up just short. Whangarei surfer Te Kauwhata finished fourth, his first finals appearance in the age group.

REMEMBER: FLUSH YOUR WATER TAPSPublic Notice EVERY MORNING It is recommended that you flush a large glass AGM of water from your drinking water tap each Thursday morning before you use any water. This helpsth 11 February to remove any metals that may have dissolved2022 from your plumbing fittings.

At clubrooms

7pm New Zealand’s water can be slightly acidic.All Acidic welcome water can dissolve metals, and this is known as plumbosolvent water. If water stays for several hours in our household pipes, it can dissolve heavy metals in the pipes such as lead or copper. Small amounts of these metals may then enter your water supply.

The recommendation of flushing your tap each morning is a simple precaution for all households, including those on public and private water supplies. The health risk from your drinking water is small, but a build-up of heavy metals in your body may cause health problems.

Plumbosolvency is not about the quality of your drinking water but about whether the water has prolonged contact with metals. We continue to meet the requirements of the Drinking Water Standards for New Zealand 2005 (revised 2018) and deliver safe water that you can enjoy from your taps each day. You can read more about water supply on our website under the Three Waters page.
