n the four weeks since our last report, here is a snapshot of some of the incidents we attended: • 10 x Family Harm – including serious family assaults and arrests • 4 x Assaults • 6 x Threats and Intimidation / Disorderly Behaviour • 6 x Theft • 4 x Burglaries • 5 x Obtains by Deception (Fraud / Scams) • 4 x Wilful Damage • 6 x Mental Health • 7 x Traffic Crashes • 6 x Driving Incidents • 8 x Drink Drivers The burglaries reported have mostly occurred in rural areas and have varied in nature. One burglary in Te Akau involved multiple offenders stealing live goats from a goat farm.

In Te Mata, a farm bike was stolen overnight. E-bikes, a mountain bike, tools, electronics and clothing were taken from a property on Lorenzen Bay Road. Additionally, parked vehicles were intentionally damaged on Upper Wainui Road.

A reminder to ensure all vehicles are locked at night, and that keys and valuables are not left inside. Recording the serial numbers of valuable items such as electronics, bikes and tools

can also assist in identifying stolen property during search warrants.

Reports of fraud and scams continue to increase, with some victims losing tens of thousands of dollars. Be especially cautious with online private sales where you may be pressured to pay quickly so the item can be “taken off the market.” The fear of missing out (FOMO) can lead to rushed decisions. Take a moment to pause, assess and reassess before clicking “Submit Payment.”

Although Police are officially stepping back from mental health callouts, we still often respond first to crisis situations. Many people are experiencing mental distress on a range of levels. However, mental distress cannot be used as an excuse for offending—particularly in cases involving threats, intimidation or assault. While managing these situations is challenging, in some instances, an arrest may be a step towards accessing the support services a person needs.

We are also aware that sustained loss of traction (burnouts) continues to cause concern and frustration in our community. We appreciate the public’s calls and information and are doing all we can to stop this dangerous behaviour.

In the meantime, stay safe, warm and dry.

Flora and Fauna themed clay creations will be on display at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre.

T

he Flora and Fauna exhibition is the third themed creative collaboration presented by the Old School Clay Shed.

Following the successful Shades of White in 2023 and last year's Iridescence, the Flora and Fauna exhibition brings together 20 artists from diverse backgrounds to explore the beauty of nature.

Clay Shed member Merren Goodison is one of several clay artists exhibiting her stunning nature-inspired sculptures.

Merren’s hand-built whimsical figures are an ode to Mother Earth and celebrate the relationship between humans and the environment. Through sculptural forms,

textures and organic motifs, Merren offers a personal reflection on the delicate balance we share with the natural world.

From a multi-talented family that includes artist Jane Galloway and Soul Shoes founder Rob Galloway, Merren’s creative journey had its beginnings with her parents who pursued artistic endeavours in their spare time. “Our father was very into art. He was always going off to art classes.

I'm more creative like my mother; craftier and always putting things together, rather than classic art,” she says.

Merren credits joining the Clay Shed around 20 years ago for providing support and inspiration to pursue clay hand building. “Clare Wimmer and Hayley

Hamilton initially instigated using the old garage out the back of the Old School for the Clay Shed. I came along the first night it opened and I’ve been pretty much coming ever since.”

07 282 0174 | www.dtilawyers.co.nz Raglan Office: 20 Bow Street

Co-owner of Matapihi Kindergarten in Te Mata, Merren spent a couple of years producing ceramics as a business while still teaching. “I was going to stop teaching and make it my focus for income. I was creating things for a shop in Hamilton, but I realised it becomes like a production line in a factory,” she says.

Join the artists for opening night and mulled wine on Friday 23 May at 6pm.

Exhibition is open 10-4pm daily from 24 May-2 June.

Weedbusters find solution for overgrown Te Uku cemetery

by Edith Symes

Tools bought courtesy of Raglan Food Co funds.

Who ya gonna call: Leanne, left, and the crew arm themselves with tools and herbicides to tackle privet at St Paul's Leanne on the tools.

Cemetery.

A

n historic country graveyard in rural Te Uku has become an unlikely battleground in a committed Raglan-based environmental group’s fight against privet.

A small squad of volunteer workers from Whaingaroa Weedbusters, backed by double the number of Anglican parishioners, have mounted a joint exercise to clear the roadside St Paul’s Cemetery of invasive and noxious plant species.

“Still more work to do but a huge leap forward,” is how church-goer Sue Kendall described the recent working bee. “We got heaps done, all the big trees poisoned and lots of little ones cut and pasted, or pulled out.”

Parishioners had been angsting over the privet and how much would have to come out of their coffers to get the mature trees cut down when a chance encounter at an informal church gathering with Weedbusters cofounder Leanne Steel – a bit of serendipity, as Sue put it – led to “a much better solution”.

That was to call in the Weedbusters, who coincidentally had already spotted the cemetery’s enclave of overgrown trees from the top of the divvy.

Whaingaroa Weedbusters have been tackling privet and other noxious weeds with a vengeance since Covid times – along the highway, up driveways, in the Greenslade Rd area and all through the Kaitoke bush track, which has undergone a dramatic transformation.

A similar transformation is now happening at St Paul’s 119-year-old graveyard where, only two weeks on, a carpet of fallen leaves covers the ground and daylight floods in through the bare branches.

And all it cost the concerned parishioners was a couple of hours of time spent drilling and filling, cutting and pasting on site.

Leanne – who recently revitalised the volunteer organisation – says she was “very excited” to get the call for help.

She and three fellow Weedbusters arrived at the cemetery with multiple drills, handsaws, herbicides and gardening gloves to distribute among the church’s group of eight, all keen to help fight the good fight against privet.

After showing her proteges how first to identify the species by its smooth-edged leaves with tiny white bumps on the stems,

ALTOGETHER BETTER RESULTS,

ALL OVER RAGLAN

Leanne explained how to “drill and fill” around the base of each of the three big tree trunks with liquid glyphosate sucked up through a large syringe.

The herbicide is then squirted into the “angled” drill holes made about 10cm apart all the way around the girth of the tree at ground level. And while it is absorbed into the root system, Leanne pointed out, the poison doesn’t actually spread into the surrounding soil.

But for the saplings which had taken hold near the mature privet, she explained how to “cut” them close to the ground with a handsaw then thickly “paste” the freshly cut surface with a herbicide gel.

As with undiluted glyphosate the gel gets absorbed into the plant’s root system, preventing regrowth.

Leanne’s multiple funding applications to Waikato Regional Council have helped pay for the herbicides and tools she shares around in the fight against weeds.

The Waikato Ecological Enhancement Trust has also provided ongoing support including supplying contractors to help Weedbusters with their drilling and filling,

cutting and pasting, on steeper less accessible parts of the Kaitoke track for instance.

And last year Meridian Energy New Zealand gave money to replace pest plants with native trees.

Closer to home Raglan Food Co recently came up with $2000 from its community fund to support an “awesome” local group.

“Whaingaroa Weedbusters are doing incredible mahi,” it posted online, “and with our support they’ve been able to get new tools and resources to help power their mission.”

Power Weed Control in Hamilton – a family business owned by local resident Trevor Power – also encourages the Weedbusters’ work with free supplies of herbicides.

A nurse working part-time in the mental health service, Leanne’s passionate about saving New Zealand’s “unique biodiversity” – by starting in our own backyards.

“These days this is where my heart lies,” she says. “I like to look after nature.”

Two Raglan rescues in a week: boaties urged to take bar safety seriously from Coastguard - Tautiaki Moana

C

oastguard Raglan volunteers have been praised for their quick response after two dramatic marine rescues in the space of a week — incidents that could have ended in tragedy without the swift actions of emergency crews and the wider Raglan community.

In the latest rescue on Sunday 19 May, four people including a teenager were pulled from the water after their vessel failed to cross the Raglan bar. A fellow Coastguard volunteer spotted the boat attempting to cross just after 11am and alerted Coastguard Raglan at 11:21am, concerned it hadn’t made it safely.

Within minutes, jet skis Rylock Rescue One and Two were launched with four volunteers. By 11:43am, the group had located four people clinging to a floating chilly bin around 800 metres behind the bar.

One jet ski transported the teenager back to Manu Bay for immediate medical attention, while rescue vessel Gallagher Rescue arrived soon after and brought the remaining three ashore, where they were assessed by Hato Hone St John.

“I truly believe that without the Raglan community and someone alerting us about this so quickly, they could still be out there, and we not know. It was that immediate call that made all the difference,” said Gallagher Rescue skipper Lee Poolton.

It is understood that only some of those rescued were wearing lifejackets and no Bar Watch or Trip Report had been logged with Coastguard.

Poolton said the Raglan bar can be dangerous to navigate, and the conditions were “atrocious” with an outgoing tide and a 2-metre swell.

“At this stage, the vessel has not been located and we suspect it may have sunk,” he said.

“The rest of the Coastguard Raglan crew did a stellar job and acted really quickly and efficiently throughout the rescue.”

Just three days earlier, on Thursday 16 May, Coastguard Raglan responded to another emergency involving two fishermen whose small inflatable dinghy became submerged near Whale Bay.

The pair had launched at 10:00am to set a long line off Whale Bay and Manu Bay. When they failed to return, a text message sent at 7:06pm to one of the men’s partners prompted a call to emergency services.

Police alerted the Coastguard Operations Centre at 7:19pm, and by 8:05pm, jet skis Rylock Rescue One and Two and Gallagher Rescue had launched with a combined crew of 11 volunteers.

“Their vessel became submerged by the swells on their return trip and eventually washed up on the rocks,” said Coastguard Raglan President Wally Hawken.

At 8:34pm, volunteers spotted a faint light near the rocky shoreline west of Whale Bay — a remote and treacherous section of the coast. The men were found stranded on the rocks, cold and showing signs of hypothermia.

“A jetski volunteer swam a short distance to the rocky cliff to support the two men while crew onboard Gallagher Rescue prepared a dry bag of warm gear and supplies to throw ashore,” Hawken said.

“There was no way out around the rocks, and with the strengthening northeasterly winds and rising swell, we made the decision to request support from Westpac Rescue Helicopter.”

By 12:04am, both men were winched to safety and reunited with family. All volunteers returned to shore by 1:05am.

“They were two very lucky fishermen,” Hawken said.

“They were integral to the result by being able to get close to the rocks and for a volunteer to swim and assist the men. The swells would have been very challenging to do that with just our Gallagher Rescue vessel.”

Both incidents serve as important reminders to always wear a lifejacket, take two forms of waterproof communication, and ensure your vessel is fit for purpose.

Coastguard also urges boaties crossing a bar to log a Bar Crossing Trip Report via VHF radio or by calling *500. If a trip report isn’t closed within 15–30 minutes and Coastguard can’t get hold of you, they will initiate a search. It’s a step that could save your life.

Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Repair – Building Skills for a Better Future From Xtreme Zero Waste and Whāingaroa Environment Centre

The 5 R's: Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Repair are powerful actions we can all take to reduce waste and create a more sustainable community. In Whāingaroa, these ideas are coming to life through hands-on learning, shared knowledge, and community connection.

Rethink the way we consume - do we need to buy new, or can we borrow, mend, or make do?

Reduce what we send to landfill by choosing products with less packaging and longer lifespans.

Reuse items creatively, and Repurpose things that might otherwise be thrown away. And when something breaks? Repair it and learn how to do it yourself!

That’s the idea behind the Whāingaroa Repair Café, held from 10am-12pm on the second Saturday of every month at 3 Stewart Street. Local volunteers offer their time and skills to help fix clothes, small appliances, bikes, and more – for free. It’s not just about fixing stuff – it’s about sharing skills, saving money, and strengthening our community.

We’re currently looking for more volunteers, especially those with sewing, electrical, or general repair skills. If you’re keen to lend a hand, visit whaingaroa.org.nz/repair-cafe to learn more.

Garden waste collection

ReWorkshops have also begun in the Woodyard at Xtreme Zero Waste, offering creative, practical sessions to rethink, reduce, reuse, repurpose and repair in everyday life. It’s a great opportunity to gain new skills, meet like-minded locals, and be part of the circular economy in action.

There have been two Reworkshops to date, and more in the works for the months ahead. The first ReWorkshop was with Robz Jones sharing his knowledge for youth DIY speaker building over an afternoon. They got stuck in with drills, wires, and a whole lot of creative energy, and the end of the day, each rangatahi walked away with a working bluetooth speaker they built themselves and some serious new skills! Deb King has since lead an interactive creative carpentry ReWorkshop, going throught the steps of visioning a project, planning, sourcing scond-hand materials and getting stuck into DIY building.

A huge thanks to Robz and Deb for sharing their knowledge, creativity and passion, and to the participants for diving into learning something new, see some of the the creations below.

Upcoming ReWorkshops: Saturday 7th June - Upcycle letterbox - Making a quirky letterbox bring something from home that you want to repurpose into a letter box or search for things at the Xtreme Woodyard.

Tutor: Robz Jones Saturday 5th July - Renovate small items - From scrap to functional art. Tutors: Reno Rachel (Goodard) and Deb King. *See featured photo of Rachael’s beautiful upcycling creations.

Saturday 2nd August - DIY speaker - bring an old guitar, suitcase (or anything suitable) from home and turn it into a funky and functional speaker. Tutor: Robz Jones Register for workshops online: https://events.humanitix.com/host/wec_xzw Interested in upholserty or ceramic repairs? We’re open to any workshop ideas, and also welcoming anyone to teach/offer wisdom & advice. Contact repaircafe@whaingaroa.org.nz “ReWorks” is proudly brought to the community by Xtreme Zero Waste and Whāingaroa Environment Centre made possible with the generous support of the Waikato District Council.

Together let’s keep resources out of landfill and in our hands.

Switch to a Heat Pump Plug-in heaters cost about three times more to run. If budget or subsidies allow, a heat pump is a smart investment—check out Warmer Kiwi Homes Programme.

Master Your Heat Pump Avoid auto mode—set it to heating or cooling for better efficiency. Clean the filter every three months for peak performance.

Get a properly sized heater for efficiency.

Use Consumer NZ’s heater calculator for guidance. Opt for one with a thermostat or a plug-in thermostat.

he Raglan Golf Club Division 2 Pennants team has secured a historic promotion to Division 1 in the Waikato Golf Association’s Championship Pennants competition — and team captain Steve Hall says it’s a proud moment for the club and the community.

We caught up with Steve to learn more about what this victory means and how the team pulled it off.

What is the Championship Pennants competition?

“It’s a regional, team-based scratch golf competition,” Steve explains.

“Teams of six represent their home clubs across four divisions — Division 1 being the highest — with eight teams in each division. Each season, the top team earns promotion and the bottom team is relegated.”

Who did Raglan face this season?

The team played a strong lineup of competitors over the season: Hamilton #2, Tieke #2, Pirongia, Waitomo,

“It means we’ll be up against the best players in the best eight teams across the Waikato. It’s a huge step up and a big deal for a small club like ours.”

Highs and lows?

“There were no real low points — every round is good fun and we’re always excited to play. But the high point was absolutely winning the final at home in Raglan, getting our name back on the Division 2 trophy, and clinching that all-important promotion.”

What kind of golfer makes a Division 1 team?

“All our players are off handicaps under 3,” Steve says. “But more important than that is team spirit — being a good fit, putting the team before individual results, and taking pride in representing little old Raglan on the regional stage.”

Congratulations to the team — Division 1 awaits!

Calling all Raglan writers from Inkspillers Raglan Writers' Collective

S

ubmissions are now open for Backlit 2025.

Backlit is the annual magazine of Inkspillers Raglan Writers’ Collective.

Following a successful debut in 2024, the magazine is now making an open call for submissions from writers from the Whaingaroa rohe (Raglan area).

Backlit was the brainchild of collective member, Matt Kambic, who was inspired after seeing a similar literary magazine while visiting family in the United States. The magazine showcases the work of the collective’s members and is distributed free in local cafes, galleries and shops.

Feedback last year was overwhelmingly positive, with readers appreciating having something interesting, local and varied to read with their coffee.

This year, thanks to the generosity of the Waikato District Council’s Creative Communities Scheme, Backlit is able to extend its reach, offering the opportunity for other local writers to submit their work for publication.

Who made up the team?

The 2024 team featured: • Hamish Kerr • Scotty Klaver • Aaron Brown • Steve Hall (Captain) • Ken Shea • Luke Phillips • Dan Hakes (reserve) Were team members placed strategically?

While strategy always plays a part, Waikato Golf rules require teams to field players in order of handicap — even though the competition itself is played without handicaps (scratch format).

How did it feel to earn promotion?

“Super happy,” says Steve. “Proud of the team, proud of each other and proud to represent Raglan Golf Club.

We’ve worked hard and it paid off.”

What does Division 1 mean for Raglan?

We’re looking for stories, poems, essays and musings, fiction and nonfiction – let your pen (or fingers) fly and your imagination run wild.

Because of the nature of some of the content, submissions this year are only open to adults. But for the future, we’re hoping to find a way to include work from our talented local youth too.

The rules for submission: • writers living in the wider Whaingaroa rohe can enter • writers must be 18 years or over to enter • one entry per writer • any genre • the word limit is 1000 word for prose, or up to 4 poems • entry is free • there’s no payment, but you’ll get five copies of the magazine to share with family and friends (or complete strangers).

The deadline for submissions is Wednesday 18 June 2025. Send

your work as an attachment or in the body of an email, along with your name, address and contact details to: inkspillersraglan@gmail.com.

The work of two to three writers will be selected for inclusion in the magazine, and we’ll let you know around the end of June if you’ve been successful.

If you have an abundance of kai in your garden, or can donate tinned items, pasta, butter, cheese, to help us make a hot, nourishing lunch once a week for anyone in the community, we would be most appreciative.

Suz is also considering another 40day perpetual soup, like what we did in 2023, where the slow cooker is added to every day, so that there is a warm bowl of something 5 days a week. Rewena bread will be made once a week.

As we all know, the current economic climate has affected a lot of families negatively. We want to help with warm food in bellies over the cooler months.

We like to make nourishing kai and to have nourishing kōrero around the table when people gather.

Everybody is welcome in our house any time we are open, and anybody is welcome to come and share a meal with us from June onwards.

What’s going to happen with mortgage rates?

H

ere’s a question that I’ve had multiple times per day for the last 16 years: ‘what’s going to happen with mortgage rates?’

Awarded to

Brendan Brits Loan Market Coast to Coast Claire Preen Director, Intelligence Unit

It’s a question I’ve always answered with a huge disclaimer – anyone who says they can read the future is full of it!

But I try anyway.. Right now it’s harder than any other time in my almost 25 year finance career to try predict what might happen with rates. Fixed rates in particular.

F

lu is extremely common amongst humans, especially during the winter months, but did you know that this highly-contagious respiratory disease affects cats too?

Younger and much older felines are especially vulnerable to flu, with notable symptoms including constant sneezing, a runny nose, dry coughing and a sudden loss of appetite.

Pneumonia refers to inflammation of the lungs, and many of the symptoms for this pet emergency are similar to that of flu. If your pet exhibits any of these behaviours, please visit your local vet team Susceptible cats (kittens, elderly, immune-compromised) can get an infection by direct contact with another infected cat or by environmental exposure to objects that have been contaminated with infectious secretions, such as food and water bowls, litter boxes, toys, and bedding.

If you’ve recently acquired a kitten, please make sure you fully vaccinate, or if you have an elderly cat it may need an annual booster to prevent disease.

Floating rates are relatively easy to forecast as they are closely aligned to the Official Cash Rate (OCR) set by the Reserve Bank of NZ (RBNZ). Floating rates are typically funded by domestic NZ money. When the RBNZ moves the OCR up or down, typically you see mortgage floating rates move by the same change in the OCR. The next OCR announcement by the RBNZ is at 2pm on 28th May. Most pundits are expecting a 0.25% cut, so floating rates will likely come down by around 0.25% at that point. There’s an outside chance of a 0.50% cut, but not that likely.

Fixed rates are a different beast. There’s not enough domestic money in NZ (in savings accounts, term deposits etc) to satisfy the demand for all the mortgages so the banks head offshore to fund a proportion of the fixed rate mortgage loans. The banks borrow from all over, but often from US banks, and that means that when trying to predict future fixed rate movements we have to factor in what’s happening in

That’s a tough read at the best of times.

But at the moment it’s a whole lot tougher as the US has a highly unpredictable President.

Major unexpected announcements are being made constantly, then reversed, no one can pick what’s going to happen next.

That means that the money markets are struggling to predict what might happen to the cost of money in the US which in turn means the funding cost of our NZ fixed rate mortgages are highly uncertain.

With the upcoming OCR announcement, I’m thinking that if we get a 0.25% cut we won’t see much movement on the fixed

It’s likely to be a turbulent few years ahead. So when considering how long to fix for, think about what’s important to you.

Is it having some payment security over a highly unpredictable time? Or is it trying to play the game to get lowest possible rates by going short. Perhaps a combo?
