Letter to the Editor ­ in response to the Waikato District Council’s Whaanga Coast Wastewater Plan….

A few years ago, up against the wall with a failing waste water system in place and another high volume season just around the corner, we invested an obscene amount of money, that we did not have, into building a relatively state of the art waste water system at Solscape.

It’s been an ongoing process of understanding, but if I knew then what I know now I would have done things very differently… !"#$%&'#()*+'$,'-./)0.*(1'2(,$*('3#('405(034$0'$,'6.&#'3$47(3&8' processed Humanure made orchards and gardens grow everywhere.

Even at the grandest of estates. Human waste, processed by tiger worms, does not smell nor look like what it started as. It is nutrient rich organic matter not unlike what you buy from the garden centre.

How many of you like money? Who feels more at ease when they are not indebted?

One of the cornerstone principles of Permaculture (permanent culture) is Waste = Food. This means that everything has value, every byproduct is a resource so there is no waste. This concept/ reality helps us to identify resources and directs us to design cyclic systems that close loops and do not allow resources to fall out of our systems. Or at least retain resources as long as possible maximizing gain while held. This thinking can apply to systems of any size or form. From a garden to a business to a household or a whole community.

If the proposed waste water system goes ahead unnecessary quantities of money, water and nutrients will leave our systems with the pull of a chain. We are actually at a fork in the road here.

Whatever infrastructure we invest in now will be in place for many years.

I implore all involved to not rush this process. To be open to unconventional solutions that may challenge our perceptions. To think beyond our personal comfort levels and to consider the fact that we’re steadily moving toward a lower energy future, where much of what we take for granted today may not be so accessible in WeatherMap - New Zealand weather forecasts http://www.weathermap.co.nz/?p=raglan the years to come.

Raglan had had some excellent coverage in the press including positive comments about Raglan as a holiday destination. It is this sort of publicity that underlines the vibrant and positive aspects of our town and encourages tourists to visit us.

I am heartened that residents understand that a solution is environmentally important and doing nothing is simply not an option.

It is now important that design and implementation can get underway. All Whaanga Coast residents in the living zone will receive a letter from Council shortly.

Please respond.

Another issue that has received a lot of attention is the district­wide property revaluation (Government Valuation).

Coupled with that has been a review of the rating system which Council is required to carry out. Although these are two separate issues, each impinges on the other. The .$)0"!($)'&2(!'2*!'.*"!3+'2*!'933)'*'+(0-."5&' concept for some.

As I indicated in my last column, property values in the living zone of Raglan have generally stayed stable. However some have dropped and I hope that residents who disagree with their new valuation will have lodged their objections with Quotable Values.

Council is still deliberating on the Rating Review which, apart from changing the way storm water is charged as a targeted rate, is basically the same as before. It is this storm water capital charge that I object to (as do a number of other Raglan submitters). I am hopeful we can improve this situation.

I accept that there should be some target rates, but they should be minimal.

Some international research in recent years has found evidence that the greater the inequality of wealth in a society the more social unrest or problems. As we struggle with issues like child poverty and violence there seems to be little focus on reducing inequalities as part of the solution.

As to why a higher level of social problems is associated with greater social inequality, my personal opinion would be that it feels unfair for those who have not done well, whatever the actual reasons for this situation.

Small fortunes were being made by bankers who were essentially doing a high level form of gambling. Then, when the bankers were bailed out, they returned to very similar systems leaving many people lower down the pecking order still in trouble, There has been a tendency to put down and with foreclosed mortgages and so on. criticise the occupation movements, perhaps because We haven’t had such an extreme crisis down they also attract some people who are more interested here in New Zealand and that is probably why the in causing trouble than the core philosophy. But it occupations of public spaces have received relatively would be a mistake to lose sight of the validity of little attention, until local and city councils started drawing attention to the negative effects of wealth evictions. The fact that we haven’t had such blatant inequality.

With the summer season comes the longer evenings with barbeques and outdoor living and we have all of those essentials for those summer days ahead.

During the weekdays we stay open until 5.30pm and maybe this is useful for Raglanders who commute daily for that last minute item.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! IF YOU HAVE BORROWED ONE OF OUR CAT Don’t Feed Your Pet Junk Food!

Not all foods are created equal so make sure your pet gets the best diet possible!

CAGES OR CAT TRAPS PLEASE RETURN IT TO US As vets we cannot emphasise enough the importance of good nutrition for your pet, to ensure good health. Diets need to be tailored to the specific needs of your AS SOON AS POSSIBLE pet to ensure they lead a healthy life.

ThereU,"1*"-+"0+'")*4*%9*"/"3+2%'%9*")*23+02*"1*" are many reasons why you should consider feeding your pet with pet food purchased from your vet.

Breed specific foods are formulated to help control or prevent some of the typical health problems of each breed. Your vet also has access to prescription diets designed for specific health conditions.

Much less mess to clean up: Quality food is highly digestible – therefore less mess and smell when your pet goes to the toilet.

RAGLAN DOG OBEDIENCE GROUP

Weight management: Obesity is the most common form of malnutrition in the pets of today. Feeding pets an appropriate quantity of food is very important. High quality food tends to make the animal feel full and satisfied with a smaller quantity.

Dental health: Dental problems are the second most common health problem that we see in our patients. Vet-Only pet foods have special features to help keep your pet’s mouth healthy.

BEGINNERS CLASS STARTS

THURSDAY 9TH FEBRUARY @ 6PM

Taste: Your pets will love it! Vet-Only diets have a high acceptance rate among pets. But for extra reassurance all our foods are 100% guaranteed. If your pet doesn’t like it we will refund the purchase price.

ARO ARO PARK WALLIS STREET

The link between good nutrition and health is well proven in humans and animals, so you want to feed the best food you can to your pets. We believe feeding a top quality veterinary diet will result in a longer and better quality life for your pet. If you are in doubt about the quality of the diet your pet is receiving, come and see us. We can advise on the best diet for your pet’s health.
