Who do you coach?

In Raglan I coach Raglan 10th grade Black and have just picked up the Girls Rugby team at Raglan Area School. In Hamilton I do some skills development with a Hamilton Boys High team and then I'm assistant coach for the Central North Island Area Schools team.

How long have you been coaching for?

On and off since about 1990. I have been coaching at Raglan Junior Rugby for about 9 years.

Why did you decide to put your hand up to coach?

It was kind of a gradual thing. At first it was from individuals asking for help, then coaches. Then there were my own

boys. Raglan is a small place. So if you want things to happen you have to do them yourself. My boys wanted to play rugby so I put my hand up to help out.

What are the highlights of coaching a team?

When a team is functioning as one – as a team – there is a hum. It's a rare thing to hear but when it's there it's a fantastic feeling.

What are the challenges?

Managing different personalities requires a different approach for each one. Discovering the one thing, the trigger that breaks down barriers so we can begin to work together as player and coach. With some kids this trigger can be different every day.

What is you coaching style?

Horses for courses. Ask my boys and I think they'll say I tend to yell a lot. I quickly discovered yelling doesn't work with girls. I tend to teach the skill to a high level of understanding so players become aware of how the skill translates into the playing of the game. As players develop and mature detail can be taught to a high level. I guess the foundation of my coaching style is built on fitness.

I include a high level of movement and activity to keep heart rates high. At the end there is always a need to reinforce why we practice, why we did what we did and how that translates into how we play the game.

We wish to make the following corrections to last week's Chronicle article on the Whaingaroa Kohanga Reo, as head teacher Te Mania Kereopa pointed out: "Kohanga Reo is not an Early Childhood Education (ECE) centre.

-Kohanga Reo is a Maori development initiative, aimed at maintaining and strengthening Tikanga Maori and Te Reo Maori within a Maori framework.

-Te Whariki was initiated from the philosopies of Te Kohanga Reo, and not based on a mainstream ECE curriculum.

-Te Whariki is only a guideline for Te Kohanga Reo as we acknowledge our Maori

DISCLAIMER

Atua (Gods), ancestors and the environment as our baskets of knowledge."

The Chronicle regrets any wrong impressions conveyed by the article. The writer was led astray by the kiwifamilies.co.nz website, promoted as New Zealand's best source for parenting information and which describes a kohanga reo as "an early childhood education and care (ECE) centre where all education and instruction is delivered in te reo Maori". It was also perhaps unhelpful for the Education Ministry website's own description http://ww of kohanga reo to appear directly under the headline "Early Childhood Education", with "ECE Lead" as a subsidiary headline.

aglan surf lifesavers were celebrating a wave of success this week after the club won big in Surf Life Saving Northern Region’s annual awards of excellence.

The 21-odd members of the Trust Waikato Raglan Surf Life Saving Club who journeyed through to Auckland for the awards function last Saturday were rewarded for their efforts when the club took out three of the seven categories in which it had finalists.

Local lifesaving convener Keagan Gaarkeuken said it was a “fantastic evening” for Raglan, the southernmost club in the northern region.

“It was so good to see Raglan’s success and for us to get recognition for all our hard work,” he told the Chronicle this week.

Nineteen-year-old Jess Reilly – brought up near Waitetuna and now studying medicine at Auckland University – was

named instructor of the year for her work in recruiting 29 new lifeguards at Raglan this season and helping upskill many more, while Aubrey Panis won regional lifeguard of the year for service at several northern region beaches including Ngarunui.

Raglan is the American’s volunteer or home club, and though she’s returning to the States shortly for another summer of lifeguarding at Huntington Beach in Southern California the 28 year old will be back later this year for her sixth season at Ngarunui.

The Raglan club’s most novel win this time round was the innovation of the year award for its ‘Power to the Tower’ project, which saw a solar system installed before summer on the roof of the patrol tower at Ngarunui Beach.

Green power has provided autonomy to the structure located at the bottom of the walkway – 400-odd metres from the clubhouse – and “has allowed us to do a

whole lot more”, says Keagan.

That includes being able to run electrical appliances in the tower – like a freezer for ice – maintain fully charged radios for emergency services, and hot water plus power for other medical equipment.

The project was funded by the WEL Energy Trust at no cost to the Raglan club, which worked with Raglan Surf Life Saving Amenities Trust to make it happen.

Raglan also came third out of the 17 northern region clubs for the best patrolled beach competition, and was among the region’s top five finalists for club of the year award.

Individual finalists from Raglan SLSC in other categories were Keagan Gaarkeuken for club administrator of the year, Meaghan Gaarkeuken for lifeguard of the year and Isaac van der Vossen for under-19 lifeguard of the year. Edith Symes

Two years to get rid of plastic bags in Raglan A move is on to make Raglan plastic bag free by 2017.

The Plastic Bag Free Raglan campaign has started, with the support of the Raglan Chamber of Commerce and the Whaingaroa Environmental Centre (WEC), and there appeared to be huge support in the community for it.

Speaking at this month’s chamber meeting, WEC’s June Penn said the Facebook campaign had received 1200 hits within its first few hours: “That says to us that the Raglan public is ready”.

“The goal is that by 2017, you can’t get a plastic bag in Raglan.”

People were responding to the idea with comments like ‘yes, please - that’s a no-brainer’ and ‘why isn’t that happening yet’, June said.

The campaign was part of a global movement to address the huge environmental problem of single-use, disposable plastic bags, but New Zealand was lagging behind.

Many countries had totally banned these

bags, including Hawaii, China, Taiwan and parts of the United States.

The Waikato Regional Council was in the process of discussing how the region wanted to address the issue, such as imposing a levy on plastic bags, which South Africa had done since 2004.

“This is coming. It’s just a matter of when and whether we do it voluntarily or through some other kind of mechanism,” June told the meeting.

The Plastic Bag Free July campaign had been well supported by the community and by local businesses, with cafes using paper straws and reusable coffee cups and the Harbourview Hotel hosting ‘plastic anonymous’ support meetings.

“The more we look into it [the plastic bag issue], the more we become concerned about how it affects the environment,” she said.

WEC’s Danielle Hart said the problem with plastic bags was that they were used once then thrown away, but lasted forever in the environment.

An estimated one million plastic bags were used every minute globally.

In New Zealand, the lightweight plastic bags accounted for only 8 percent of the country’s total waste by weight, but about 20 percent by actual volume. About half of the plastic bags ended up in landfills, while only 5 percent were recycled.

The remaining 45 percent of plastic bags were “lost” in the environment, often ending up in the sea where they broke down into smaller and smaller pieces but did not go away, Danielle said.

This plastic then entered the food chain by being ingested by fish and other marine life, “so it can end up on our plates”.

Danielle said a global campaign encouraging people to think about their use of plastic bags had started in Australia and now involved 82 countries.

Stewart Street garden brought back to life A Street has been revived by a community garden in Stewart

group of green-fingered mums.

Also at H.G Webb House, Cnr Boundary & Victoria Streets, Hamilton

Previously known as Eden, the small community garden tucked behind the Raglan Union Church hall had become overgrown with weeds through lack of use.

The garden was started in 2011 by a group of volunteers with a small budget from the church. A raised garden box and a mandala garden were created and fruit and vegetables planted, with some of harvest given to the local food bank.

Earlier this year some residents resurrected the garden - mostly young mums who either didn’t have much garden space at home, lived in a rental property or just wanted to hang out there with their children, said one of the gardening mums, Emma McPherson.

About 10 people were now tending the Stewart Street community garden on Monday mornings and planting had just begun after Sayer Landscape Supplies donated new soil a couple of weeks ago.

The gardeners may apply for grants in future for the garden, but at the moment they were buying or growing their own seedlings with the aim of growing produce for themselves and others.

Emma said the group kept in touch through Facebook and welcomed new members.

New recruit Graceful Ngapo said the place where she lived had no garden so it was “just awesome” to be part of the community garden, where leeks, onions, silverbeet and rocket had been planted so far.

“I just come along and get my hands in the earth. Manu [her son] just loves it – it’s such a great thing to do with your kids,” Graceful said.

Continuation of interview from page 2.

Is it all about winning?

No. Its way bigger than that. There is so much more learning going on than just wanting to win or even about rugby. What we do is as much about the experience and what it teaches us about ourselves. What my players discover about themselves and each other is what it is about.

Was sport important to you growing up?

My father was a lecturer in Physical Education and Health at Hamilton Teachers College for many years. He made me run.

Looking back I'm glad he did. Being active and fit opened a lot of doors for me growing up. My boys are paying the price for that now. Not just my biological ones but the ones in my teams as well. They have to run – they can thank my father for that!

How do you think team sports benefit our young ones today?

This probably applies to all team sports;

Graceful Ngapo and her son, Manu, hang out in the community garden behind the Raglan Union Church in Stewart Street.

I'd like to think I am nurturing a positive understanding of the world in my players.

Ultimately I'm looking for them to become positive citizens in the world, and in everything that they do.

Team sports is a great medium doing just that. Team sports helps to develop concepts and values; honesty, integrity, fairness, the difference between right and wrong, are just some examples. These are all understandings that ultimately make our children better people.

There are other things that my players learn about themselves at a very personal level.

They discover courage – something that can't be taught but is there inside everyone. They discover the cooperative aspects of playing a team game; of being there for each other and supporting each other. They discover being part of a team is bigger than just the game they play.

They discover friendships and connections that will be with them for the rest of their lives. And yes they get to taste success along the way.

Look at any school curriculum and it is saying similar things. That's what team sports can do – and it is being achieved every day at every game and on every training paddock.

Ultimately we hope these kids go home and carry all those concepts and values back their families and the other parts of their lives.

Best piece of advice you could give to parents Get your kids playing a team sport. Get involved in your children's lives. Do what they want to do. Support them in what they do. Don't sit around and complain about how bad something is; get involved and make a difference. Practice the same values with your children that you expect them to practice with you. Remember every one of them is a mirror of ourselves – some are beautiful and some are down-right scary!

Did that just sound like it came out of good parenting handbook?! Some parents need to read the handbook!

Raglan’s new Social Club opens T

he Raglan Social Club has had a busy start as the new café in town.

The café opened last week - in the Bow Street premises previously occupied by the Banteay Srey Khmer Restaurant - by the owners of Hamilton’s highly acclaimed Sugar Bowl Café, Rachel and Aaron Bidois.

Aaron said they had “hit the ground running”, with the added pressure of school holidays and “a lot of curiosity”.

While The Raglan Social Club

would have the same concept as the Sugarbowl of simple food well done, it would be different in that it would be a café by day and a late-night burger takeaway bar by evening.

And the name? It was inspired by the Raglan-based family’s recent trip to Melbourne when the pair was contemplating the name for their new venture.

“The social side of Melbourne got us, “ Aaron said. “So we thought about the social side of Raglan and – it fits, it fits!” Rachel Benn

Influenza season has started in Waikato!

The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is to get vaccinated.

• It’s not too late to get vaccinated.

• Vaccination is the best protection from influenza, and the best defence in preventing the spread of the illness.

• If you feel unwell you can help reduce the spread of the virus by: - Staying at home if you are unwell.

- Covering your cough or sneeze and use disposable tissues.

- Regularly washing your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water, and then drying your hands with a clean dry towel or paper towel.

Vaccination is free for everyone over 65 and for those most at risk until 31 July, so call your general practice now.

Many pharmacies also offer flu vaccinations for people who are willing to pay.

For more information about influenza, and how it can affect you, visit www.fightflu.co.nz

Get protected and get immunised.

Matariki bonfire lights up

Meridian Te Uku Community Fund Meridian recognises the importance of local communities to our hydro and wind operations.

The Meridian Te Uku Community Fund gives your community a say on what local initiatives are supported and funded by Meridian. The Fund, managed by a panel of community members and Meridian staff, is about working together to build strong communities.

The Meridian Te Uku Community Fund is for the communities of Raglan, Te Mata, Waitetuna and Te Uku, and this year will provide $40,000 to help community projects in this area.

TO APPLY FOR FUNDING The next closing date for Meridian Te Uku Community Fund applications is 23 July, 2015.

On Saturday 11th July, the Raglan Chamber of Commerce supported

by Waikato-Tainui and The Raglan Community Board put on Ahi Whakaata - Fire of Reflection, a Matariki bonfire.

Originally scheduled for mid-June, the bonfire was postponed twice due to rainy weather. Luckily the skies were beautiful and clear on Saturday evening and the wind calmed down just before sunset.

Karakia was given by Sean Ellison, and members of the community, our kaumatua and boys in Poutama Tāne worked together to light the fire.

Young and old bundled up to celebrate the Maori New Year, enjoying delicious food and local musical performances.

The Chamber wanted to bring the community together to reflect on the past, celebrate the present and ignite the future. They plan to make this an annual Matariki event from now on.

Karamea Puriri

Literary festival set to returns to town W

ord Café comes back to Raglan next month with almost double the number of guest speakers, panellists and storytellers this time round, say organisers, promising a literary feast for book lovers from both here and out of town.

It’s also a weekend rather than the one-day event of 2013, and will be staged at the town hall – with seating for 150 – after the Old School Arts Centre in Stewart Street first time round proved too small a venue.

Word Café is a festival not only of the written word but of all things bookish including illustration and photography, organiser Emma Brooks told the Chronicle last week. “We’ve put together a broad programme of events that should appeal to all types of book lovers.”

Among the highlights will be sessions with 2014 Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellowship winner and current Waikato University writer-in-residence Mandy Hager, true crime writer and television presenter Scott Bainbridge, popular children’s author Dawn McMillan and ‘Arrival’ travel magazine editor Letesha Randall who lives in Raglan.

Other locals include award-winning children’s author Sarah Johnson – who will launch her latest book ‘The Bold Ship Phenomenal’ at Word Café ahead of its nationwide release – and bakery owner Pisey Leng whose recently released book ‘The Wisdom Seeker’ tells of how she turned her life around after surviving the killing fields of Cambodia as a child in the late ’70s.

Raglan-based wildlife and nature photographer Trevor Penfold will also talk about his life behind the lens and the inspiration it gave him to write and produce books.

One of Word Café’s aims is to celebrate and foster local talent, says Emma, alongside bringing top authors and illustrators from further afield into town. “It’s not always easy to market yourself these days.”

This year’s festival has a particularly strong focus on visual storytelling, she adds, with book illustrators Kat Mereweather and Deborah Hinde and graphic novelist Paul Martin hosting an illustration panel on the Saturday

afternoon.

Saturday night’s keynote speaker is James George, an award-winning author and creative writing teacher who is the current chairperson of the writers committee of Toi Maori Aotearoa – Maori Arts New Zealand.

Word Café wraps up on the Sunday morning with a final session on selfpublishing versus publishing, which includes among its panellists independent publisher Sally Greer and best-selling HarperCollins author Julie Thomas.

The festival aims generally to promote reading and writing within the community, Emma says, and to promote Raglan during winter. Ideally the concept of Word Café then comes into its own, benefiting the town’s cafés and other businesses at a typically quiet time of year.

“We’re marketing to Auckland and the greater Waikato,” she explains of the literary festival. “And we want people to come for the whole weekend.”

Emma likens the event to that of having an art or music show in town.

And because it was a sell-out last time “we decided to go bigger (this year) by selling more tickets to be more selfsustaining”.

Despite the ambitious programme, ticket prices have remained much the same as in 2013 thanks to funding support from Creative Communities NZ and the Waikato District Council.

“We want the festival to be as accessible to as many people as possible,” Emma insists.

A few free sessions are included in the programme, with storytelling in the town hall on the Friday night, an informal open mike night at The Shack on Saturday – where everyday writers get to share their work with the audience – and a children’s workshop at the library on Sunday.

There’s also a writing competition, with festival-goers encouraged to get inspired and pen their entries over the weekend.

Word Café will be at Raglan Town Hall, August 14-16. Early-bird allsession tickets are now on sale at $70pp, a discount of $20, until July 31.

Individual sessions may also be on sale at $20, subject to availability. See details and buy tickets at www.wordcaferaglan. co.nz.
