The awards acknowledge the years of hard work and dedication by members of the Waikato district community.

Raglan’s unsung heroes included community house manager Mike Rarere, Raglan RSA secretary Noelene McCathie, Hato Hone St John Raglan volunteer crew, and long-serving Justices of the Peace Roy Haar and Wayne Morris.

As the manager of Raglan Community House since 2016, Mike is committed to the people of Raglan, particularly youth and those living through poverty, disengagement, and hardship.

Mike’s mahi is grounded in aroha, manaakitanga, and a deep belief in the potential of every person, regardless of their circumstances.

His tireless work sends ripples of compassion and commitment across the community.

Currently the Raglan RSA secretary, a position she has held since 2011,

Noelene is the powerhouse behind Anzac Day commemorations.

She also went above and beyond when she worked part time at Raglan Information Centre, volunteering extra hours to ensure the centre was open.

To top it off, Noleen is also president of the Raglan Light Exercise Group and treasurer of the Raglan Horticultural Society.

The cornerstone of Raglan’s community health and safety, the crew at Hato Hone St John Raglan were recognised for working tirelessly to ensure everyone is prepared and protected in times of need. The station operates 8am-8pm – seven days a week, each 12-hour shift is covered by a team of two volunteers.

Long-serving Justices of the Peace Roy Haar (25-years’ service) and Wayne Morris (30-years’ service) were acknowledged for their valuable volunteer work. Appointed by the Governor General to assist with important administrative and legal functions, they do anything from witnessing signatures, certifying documents, administering oaths and declarations, confirming identities, and assisting with legal processes.

Daffy and his mini ‘emporium’ continue to stand test of time

Danica and Rueben who loves lavender.

H

e may no longer ride his unicycle in Raglan’s New Year’s Eve parade or famously surf Manu Bay reclining on his longboard but Daffy – real name David Yorston – remains a colourful and familiar character about town.

Well the top of town, mostly. Daffy’s been there more than four decades now at the bright green-painted Bow St Gallery with its clutter of plants and seedlings out back in the nursery.

He’s arguably the business owner in town.

longest-serving

A glazier by trade, Daffy works in the depths of the shop on his glass creations, pausing to welcome customers as they enter his “emporium” through the front door or via the side entrance to the nursery.

Just about anyone who’s lived in Raglan for some time knows to look for the colourful kite flying from the shop-front verandah, the signal he’s open. Business hours for Daffy these days are more erratic than regular, and at this time of year he’s likely to shut up shop not too long after mid afternoon anyway when it starts to get cold, he told the Chronicle.

Kataraina Clarke was there in the nursery “feeling reckless” about that time one recent Saturday. She’d checked the kite was flying, and after quizzing Daffy on what he had in stock in the way of citrus trees she left with three saplings – a lime, a lemon and a mandarin.

And a spade, so she could go home and dig the trees in. A “ladies spade” in fact, Daffy told her, explaining the subtle difference.

“So how much have I spent?” asked Kataraina before handing over $100-odd in cash because Daffy doesn’t have an eftpos machine on site.” She went away happy with her plants and her spade. “It was a good sale,” Kataraina laughed. “I’ll come again.”

Next Daffy turned his attention to Danica Joy and three-year-old Rueben who, his mum revealed, “loves lavender”.

They’d just been to the ATM next door getting out cash to pay for their purchase and also went away happy, the youngster carrying two lavender plants in a basket.

Daffy’s done business in this casual, ohso Raglan kind of way since 1981 when he and longtime local Rob Galloway – whose Soul Shoes enterprise is now based down at the wharf – partnered up and bought the Bow St property, which had been operating as a surfboard factory.

They called their shop Artisan back then, because alongside Daffy’s glassware and Rob’s handmade leather goods were various other local handcrafts including pottery. That was “a big industry” in the 80s, says Daffy. “We had three potters working for us,” he recalls.

But the building proved too small for footwear manufacturing so Rob shifted out to work from the basement of his home in Hills Rd, leaving Daffy to go it alone in the shop.

Daffy, ever the salesman, outside his bright green-painted shop.

Apart from changing the name to Bow St Gallery, one of the first things Daffy did was turn the then vacant backyard space into a nursery. When asked if he had been into gardening previously, Daffy replied simply “I developed skills” and that he’d studied Latin at high school in Hamilton (a help, presumably, in identifying plant species).

With the nursery business and Daffy’s own glasswork doing well during the late 80s and 90s, Bow St Gallery became Raglan’s ‘go-to’ gift shop for a time, before the town’s plethora of boutique shops began sprouting.

Way back as a teenager Daffy had cut his teeth shaping and assembling caravan windows for Riverlea Glass Co in Hillcrest, leading to his job as a glazier, and in the 2000s built on those early skills by studying for his Diploma in Glass Design and Production at Wanganui.

His shop morphed into Bow St Gallery and Raglan Glass housing an eclectic mix of wares, with the nursery an important part of the equation.

While it’s “seasonal”, Daffy explains of the nursery, it’s not just about summer any more as he also stocks a range of gardening products such as bags of compost and recycled planter boxes, made from the pallet-like packaging that protects his glass deliveries.

And you never know what else might be tucked away in that emporium. The odd garden implement perhaps, like a ladies spade.

Siblings to Represent NZ at ISA World Surfing Games in El Salvador

T

wo of Raglan’s brightest surfing talents, Theo and Alani Morse, have been named in the 2025 New Zealand Open Surfing Team and will represent Aotearoa at the ISA World Surfing Games in El Salvador this September.

Surfing New Zealand announced the six-strong team this week, describing it as one of the youngest Open squads ever selected — a bold, youthful lineup brimming with potential. The event, running from 5 to 14 September at the iconic point breaks of La Bocana and El Sunzal, brings together the world’s top surfers in the premier team competition on the international calendar.

For Theo Morse, this will be his debut in the senior team, following a string of standout performances both in New Zealand and overseas. Known

for his polished rail work and smooth, confident style, Theo is expected to thrive in El Salvador’s long, peeling waves.

Joining him is younger sister Alani Morse, who also earned national selection after a breakout year in junior and Pro Junior events. Her modern approach, developing aerial game and solid fundamentals have marked her as one of the most exciting rising stars in the women’s field.

“This is not just about 2025 — it’s about building for the future,” said Surfing New Zealand CEO Ben Kennings. “Theo and Alani represent the next generation of high-performance Kiwi surfers, and we’re proud to have them flying the flag.”

The Raglan siblings will compete alongside Piha surfers Will Hardie and

Christian Fougere, Christchurch’s Ava Henderson and Pauanui’s Lola Groube.

Together, they form a team that reflects the strength of New Zealand’s junior development system and the growing depth of surf talent across the country.

While the 2025 ISA World Surfing Games won’t count toward Olympic qualification, it remains a crucial event for international rankings and experience, especially with Los Angeles 2028 on the horizon.

New Zealand placed 18th out of more than 50 countries at last year’s ISA World Surfing Games in Puerto Rico. With this year’s youthful team, Surfing New Zealand is aiming to build momentum, climb the ranks and prepare its athletes for even bigger stages to come.

Ladies pennants challenge W ith 12 teams and 48 golfers from across the Waikato region all competing for one prize, it’s understandable that competition is fierce and every shot counts.

With two more rounds to go in this five-round series, things are hotting up — and all teams traveled to Cambridge for the next match.

ALTOGETHER BETTER RESULTS,

ALL OVER RAGLAN

“It’s an honour to be representing Raglan Golf Club in this 9-hole Pennants competition! It’s a friendly and relaxed competition, but we all play to win,” quipped Robyn Aim, team member.

The Raglan team is sitting mid-field, and — putters crossed — they’re hoping for stronger results in the coming weeks.

Stay focused, ladies! ...off the tee... Pete Aim.

One more cup of coffee: big adieu for solo wharf venture

by Edith Symes

R

aglan has lost one of its iconic hole-inthe-wall coffee bars – and it didn’t go quietly.

Trade was as brisk as the weather last weekend as one-man-band Stephen Sandwell served up last orders through the counter window of his converted water’s-edge shed down at the wharf.

It was a “massive” weekend, he told the Chronicle, thanks to a couple of Facebook posts letting people know of Wharf Espresso’s imminent closure after 12 years of business in a prime spot alongside Tony Sly Pottery.

Locals had come out in force to wish him well. “It was a nice feeling,” he added. “I am quite humbled by all the support.”

Stephen made 85 coffees, or similar, on the Saturday – equivalent to a Boxing Day, or peak summer trading – and then 60-plus the following morning before shutting up shop for good.

A local guy came to help that last day, says Stephen, for which he was thankful because there was so much extra to do in terms of dismantling fixtures he’d put in over the years plus disconnecting Stephen's last day of business at Wharf Espresso. water pipes, water heater and the all-important coffee machine which got packed up and shipped off downcountry to Taranaki.

Although disappointed at having to close to make way for a new accommodation venture on site, Stephen’s grateful for the opportunity he’s had to fulfill a dream and start his own business.

Also the rent’s been low enough to afford him the luxury of opening only at weekends and during the holidays, Stephen’s not sure of his chances of starting up again somewhere else.

Meantime he feels a sense of satisfaction at relationships built and friends made within the community – the likes of regular customers Di and Peter Jennings, who were there on Sunday at arguably the best window seats in town looking out to the bar.

“Nothing like chilling over a game of cards as we enjoy a coffee and the beauty of the harbour at Peter and Di at the best window seats in town. the wharf,” enthused Di.

Karioi Kahawai U14 Girls take on Kaimai League Challenge from Raglan Junior Football Club

T

he Karioi Kahawai Under-14 girls team from Raglan is stepping up to an exciting new challenge this season with their involvement in the Kaimai League — a regional competition that brings together top teams from across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty.

While the team normally plays their regular fixtures on Saturdays, the Kaimai League features two special tournaments throughout the season — one hosted in the Waikato and the other in the Bay of Plenty. The first tournament kicked off on Sunday, June 15th, in the Waikato.

Coached by Marty Kroon, the Karioi Kahawai team has a tight-knit core of players who’ve been playing together for years, with a few new additions bringing fresh enthusiasm and talent. Their strong performance during the grading games earlier this season led WaiBOP to approach the Raglan Football Club, inviting the team to test themselves at a higher level of competition.

It’s proven to be a fantastic challenge for the team. “I’m stoked to hear that you’ve had some great games, and that the girls are loving playing at this level,” said a club spokesperson.

Best of luck to the Karioi Kahawai girls as they head into this weekend’s tournament — enjoy every minute and keep up the awesome work!

Animal Health Column WITH ANEXA VETS

Keeping your pets warm this winter!

A

s winter rolls in and the temperature drops, we start to light our fires, turn on our heaters, bask in the warmth under our blankets, and drink our hot drinks. Our cats and dogs love to curl up next to us to soak up the warmth.

However, some of our pets live outside where it isn’t so cozy! They receive some warmth and protection from their fur, but this is not enough! So how can we make winter more enjoyable for our outside pets? Providing suitable shelter away from the elements is the best way to do this.

Kennels should be well insulated, have a sloped roof, and an adequate drainage system. Kennels and beds should be raised off the ground and placed in a sheltered area to avoid cold draughts. Winter bedding should be warm and cozy, if your pet is a blanket shredder, you can staple carpet down on the kennel floor for extra padding and warmth. Remember to always use non-toxic materials.

Feeding a good quality food is important, as this will help to give your pet the energy, they need to keep their body temperature up and not use fat reserves. Make sure fresh water is always available and is not frozen.

Another option is a pet coat, these come in many different sizes and styles. These provide the pet with an extra layer of warmth and protection, which is especially important for short haired dogs, older, or younger animals. Make sure you are washing the coat regularly to prevent a build-up of bacteria. Once the temperature heats up take the coat off to prevent the animal getting too warm, and to help prevent skin irritation and dermatitis.

Our senior pets need extra care over the cooler months. They often have arthritis and/or joint pain, and the cold damp weather can worsen these conditions; if you see your pet slowing down, please talk to your vet about specific foods, supplements, and treatments you can offer your pet.

In their search for warmth animals can end up in some sticky situations! Cats are notorious for sleeping beneath a car or in the motor! Animals can also “hug” the heat a bit too much and end up overheating, or in severe cases scalding themselves, so you may need to put safeguards in place to prevent this happening.

Also, modern heat pumps blow out quite dry air so if your pet lazes in front of it they could develop corneal (eye) drying and secondary conjunctivitis as a result.

When it comes to keeping your pet happy and healthy through the winter months there are several options available to you, if you need any advice ring the clinic, we are always happy to help!

Whale Tails Soccer team

A master’s guide to camping at Ruapuke Raglan Area School news continued

T

hinking about what to pack for school camp? Don’t worry Billie Thornley – Murego has you covered. From essential snacks to serious tent space and, yes, a giant speaker for evening singalongs, here’s a nononsense (and slightly hilarious) checklist for camping like a pro at Ruapuke.

T

he Whale Tails are all aged 5 and 6.

They’re the best team ever because they all work together; also they are always enthusiastic!

All of them are really good soccer players because they practise hard. In their team there are 8 players. Their names are: Tessa, Kōwhai, Matilda, Sasha, Goldie, Livina, Asher, and Sophia.

Question: What do you like about your team?

Kōwhai: “It’s called Whale Tails”.

Goldie: “Everyone plays together”.

Tessa:”We say go Whale Tails!”

Question: What is your favourite game to play at practice?

Sofia: “I like to play Fantails”.

Kōwhai: “Doctors and ants is what I like”!

Goldie: “PIZZA GAME”!!!

1. Make sure to bring 3 of the best friends you have. Interestingly,3 people is the perfect amount because you need one to bring all the best lollies. One person to do anything for you. And last but not least, the person who knows all the latest gossip and rumors.

2. You'll also be in need of a massive tent. If you have a small tent and are sharing with three of your friends, one of your friends or you will end up crammed in a corner like a squashed banana. Good camping is luxurious.

So you need a big tent so you can fit a kitchen, a pool, a T.V, and a toilet in it.

3. Make sure to stir a big speaker.

In the evening, it is super fun to blast Barbie Girl and sing along to it. A small one just won't do.

4. One thing that 100% need is 5 spare rolls of toilet paper. When you're camping, there's a good chance you could get diarrhea so that's why you need toilet paper. Especially, if you are camping far from the toilets

or if you are going to a campground where there are no toilets at all!

5. Blend in as much junk food as possible. Luckily, I know all the best junk food: pizza, lollies, fries, chips and doughnuts. When you bring junk food, camping is so much more enjoyable.

Plastic Free July is on the horizon, a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution, just in time for the resurgence of Plastic Free Raglan. This July we’re taking a stance on fast fashion because fast fashion relies on cheap synthetic fabric such as polyester, acrylic, nylon and spandex, which shed tiny plastic fragments. Synthetic clothing is one of the main contributors to microplastics, which can accumulate in our bodies and waterways.

What can we do?

Consider choosing natural fibres when selecting clothes and soft furnishings, like bedding and rugs, especially if buying new.

Get curious about what the textiles in our lives are, check out clothing and bedding tags for plastic free options like cotton, wool, hemp, silk, linen, and denim.

Shopping second-hand can offer natural fibres at fraction of their original price. Buying secondhand also allows you to see how durable the item is after it has been worn and washed.

Before disposing of clothing, ask whether it may have another use. Old t-shirts or bedding make great cleaning cloths, rather than buying new micro-fibre synthetic cloths.

Complement others on their second-hand or repaired clothes - totally free and actually impactful for the norms we make about what we should wear.

Stop supporting fast fashion brands by refusing to buy or wear from Shien, Zara, H&M and Temu, and encourage others around you to too.

Kaahus Nest and other donation shops rely on the generosity of donations to keep things circulating locally, but the reality is that most fast fashion clothes from Shien, Zara, H&M and Temu are purposefully not designed to last, so can’t be reused and reworn, and there is no magic recycling for cheap synthetic fibres, so are landfilled. The best solution is to refuse and reduce purchasing fast fashion in the first place.

Why reduce plastic in our lives?

It’s hard to avoid plastic in our day to day lives, but over the past five years there has been growing evidence of the harm plastic, especially the chemical additives in plastics and small plastic particles, poses to human health. Public Helath Communication Centre Aotearoa has consolidated this reserach and highlighted the case for urgent action to prevent further plastic pollution, remediate environments containing plastic, reduce our interactions with plastics in our day-to-day lives, and minimise exposure to plastic particles where possible. We need change at both national and global levels, like the phase-outs of single-use products and a legally binding global treaty to address plastic pollution, and we also need not underestimate the power of individual action.

SECOND SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH 10AM - 12PM

STEWART STREET HALL

Think back a few years to when it was normal to use plastic bags, before the 2019 national ban the Raglan community was already active and leading the way with Plastic Bag Free Raglan - a community-led initiative achieving ~ 95% reduction in plastic shopping bags from ~ 94% of our businesses. We don’t wait for the national ban, we got active and stired up the change!

All our efforts to reduce the plastic we use day to day makes a difference collectively to keep our seas plastic-free!
