To the Editor, There are a few points I would like to clarify regarding last issue's article about the Cliff Street holm oak removal. In it various people are quoted Jo’s Takeaways. Te Kopua Domain......................................................825 8761 as saying that the tree in question 'did not seem' to be in any immediate danger of falling down or that the state of the branches made it appear no urgent action was needed. I disagree Marlin Cafe & Grill. Dine in. On the Wharf...........................................825 0010 strongly with these statements. From the start the fruiting body (bracket) of this particular fungal infection of the ganoderm genus was such that it caused immediate alarm and warranted further inspection. Upon inspection it The Shack. Dine in or Takeaway. 19 Bow Street..................................825 0027 became obvious that the rot extended deep into the base of the trunk and subsequently into the root system. It was my strong recommendation that the tree be removed immediately as The Raglan Club. Dine in or Takeaway. 22-24 Bow Street.................. 825 8278 it was in danger of falling over at any time.

It has also been questioned that pruning cuts on neighbouring trees Shane Ardern MP weren't treated immediately the fungus TARANAKI-KING COUNTRY was found, however, the healthy Pohutakawas next door are at no risk of becoming infected by this Ganoderm fungus. Pohutakawas are particularly good at compartmentalizing decay Electorate office: and as such are extremely resilient to 25 Roche Street, Te Awamutu this type of fungal infection. I have p 07 825 0263 (Freephone) never known a healthy pohutakawa e ShaneArdernMP@xtra.co.nz WeatherMap - New Zealand weather forecasts to be infected by a Ganoderm fungus, nor have I heard of this, nor can I find evidence of any such case. Furthermore www.national.org.nz there is no recommended treatment of

pruning cuts against such infection and painting over them has long been considered ineffective and even counterproductive as it can seal in any infection present.

The article also stated that Mr. Gallagher has 'sought details of the arborist's qualifications.' I am yet to hear from him but welcome him to contact me directly if he would like to discuss this further.

The thing that disappoints me about this whole issue is the accusatory undertones that have surrounded it from the start. The fact of the matter is that all parties involved care greatly for the wellbeing of our town trees so it would be nice to see everyone on the same page. A lot of time has been wasted on this for all concerned, and with serious issues such as the evergrowing noxious weed/tree epidemic in Raglan, surely the council’s time would be better spent addressing these issues. The tree was dangerous, the tree was removed, let's move on.

Whaingaroa Harbour Care has kindly donated an 8-year-old pohutakawa as a replacement tree for this holm oak; this tree has been grown from seed from the tree that the Tainui waka was tied to in Kawhia. Seems like a noble replacement to me, something to be celebrated, yet even this has http://www.weathermap.co.nz/?p=raglan drawn criticism. Is someone suggesting that another holm oak (quercus ilex) should be planted? continued on page 7....

Museum project earns a bronze

R

aglan Museum and Information Centre this week became the proud recipient of a new exhibit – a framed certificate marking its bronze placing in the tourism and leisure category of the inaugural New Zealand Commercial Projects Award.

It was a “great achievement” for Raglan, ward councillor Clint Baddeley told those gathered at the museum on Monday as he presented the award, which recognises “excellence in workmanship, commercial practices and innovation”.

More than 40 commercial buildings from around the country were entered for the award.

Cr Baddeley congratulated representatives Jamie Bruce from Envision Architecture, Glen Larsen from Livingstone Building, Waikato District Council project manager Stephen Cox and local project manager Andy White on their parts in the project.

“It [the building] wouldn’t be here without that collaboration,” Cr Baddeley said. The people of Raglan could feel a sense of pride in both the architecturally designed building and its prime water’s edge location, he added.

The twin-purpose building – housing both the museum and the information centre – opened almost two years ago, and Raglan & District Museum Society member Rodger Gallagher said more than 6000 visitors had now come to the museum “to

,

A successful collaboration: from left, Jamie Bruce of Envision Architecture, co-project manager Andy White, Cr Clint Baddeley, co-project manager Stephen Cox and Glen Larsen from Livingstone Building

enjoy and learn about the history of Raglan Whaingaroa”.

The million-dollar building is owned

by Waikato District Council, with the museum run by the local museum society

and the i-SITE by Waikato Enterprise Agency.

The bronze award for the building came soon after it received a finalist placing in the New Zealand Museum Awards.

Roy’s feathered friends always dropping in for afternoon tea aglan West resident Roy Devlyn sure R knows the truth of the old saying “birds of a feather stick together” – every day without fail 50 or so sparrows flock to his Tahuna Avenue home for afternoon tea.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s blowing up a storm, they still turn up,” Roy says of the ritual that sees the brownish sparrows fly in from who knows where and jostle for space along the powerlines outside the house.

Come 3.30 – as soon as Roy’s ventured out onto his deck to place the tidbits in the feeding box he built this year – they swoop down and squabble noisily over the slice of bread and a couple of handfuls of raw rice on offer while Roy and his sister-in-law Eleanor watch from inside their house.

“It’s amazing, the numbers that come,” says Eleanor, who once counted up to 70 sparrows perched expectantly on the powerlines.

“But I only feed them once a day,” adds Roy, “so they’re not dependent (on me).”

It all started a couple of years ago when Roy noticed a little cock sparrow would meet him at his letterbox every day. “I had to remember to take a bit of bread.”

Then the sparrow turned up with his lady friend, Roy told the Chronicle – and eventually they brought along their chicks, and so numbers started to multiply.

Bigger birds like mynahs and starlings started to gatecrash afternoon tea at the Devlyns, but Roy fixed that by building a feedbox with netting just big enough for the sparrows to fit through. “Now I can feed them there and I don’t have any trouble with predators.”

It’s a moot point considering there’s no fewer than six cats in the Devlyn household.

Eleanor has watched while some sparrows take a bit of food back across the road to the neighbours’ place, presumably to feed their chicks.

And Roy reckons, light-heartedly, the daily feeding ritual “just goes to show how many friends you can make in a small town”. Edith Symes

Longboard vet eyes recipe for good showing in Peru

L

ocal surfer Belinda Goodwin is practising up a few phrases in Spanish because, come late September, she’s off to Peru for the world longboarding champs – and wants at least to be able to order her own vegetarian meals.

The longtime longboarder, who turned 40 last Monday, believes good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle are all-important when surfing at a competition level. And it’s obviously paid off for, despite competing against women half her age, Belinda won the New Zealand longboard circuit in her division this year and now gets to go up against some of the world’s best in South America.

“I feel like I’m in my prime,” Belinda told the Chronicle. And while it was a surprise to come out on top nationally, she admits she’d wanted to give her Kiwi competitors a good “run for their money”.

Now she’s heading to Peru to represent New Zealand at the inaugural ISA World Longboard Championship.

The event was created this year because of the popularity of the longboard division in the well-established ISA World Surfing Games.

About 128 longboarders from 32 countries will be competing in the open men’s, women’s and junior (under-18) divisions. Only one woman, one junior and two men from each country are selected.

But international surf comps don’t come cheap. For the 10-day trip Belinda needs $4500 to cover air fares, accommodation and food – a sum that she says “took me a while to get my head around”.

Now though she’s got two raffles on the go – downtown at Trade Aid

TO APPLY FOR FUNDING

Some Raglan Community Board members were angry to hear at their last meeting in early June that the plan – effectively a blueprint for the town’s development – might have to wait until the fate of the Raglan Land Company’s plans to develop up to 500 houses on the Rangitaha Peninsula across the Raglan West causeway was known.

But board chairman Rodger Gallagher has revealed that on June 25 district councillors withdrew their original motion “to delay further development of the Raglan structure

and down Volcom Lane at Raglan Surf Emporium. And she has some unusual prizes up for grabs – organic fruit trees from the orchard she’s been developing on her 15-acre Ruapuke property.

“I propagate them myself,” she explains, of the hundreds of trees she nurtures from avocado and olive to macadamia nut, feijoa and tamarillo.

Belinda also nurtures three schoolage children, who are now well used to spending their summers in coastal campgrounds while she competes in the New Zealand series each year.

They look forward to it, she says, because they get to catch up with old friends they’ve made along the way.

“And they go up on the podium with me,” she adds.

But Belinda will be leaving them behind with her mother in charge this time round. It’ll just be the fourstrong New Zealand team – the others selected are from Piha, Taranaki and Mt Maunganui – and their coach destined for Peru.

plan until the outcome of the proposed Rangatahi Peninsula private plan [zoning change] is known”.

With work on the plan resumed, Rodger says a first step will be a workshop this month involving the community board and a small group of interested parties.

Sadly it doesn’t seem the latest exercise will be paying much attention, if any at all, to the “Raglan Naturally” community plan published in 2001.

While the plan was the culmination of extensive consultation with the Raglan community and a lot of hard work by a 12-member project team – all Raglan residents – more than a decade on few council staff seem to even know of its existence. Edith Symes

o-one expected the new Raglan-Hamilton shuttle service on Sundays and public holidays to be a runaway success, but it isn’t doing too badly all the same.

Representatives of the three groups that made the shuttle service happen – Raglan Chamber of Commerce, Raglan Community Vehicle Trust and Waikato District Council – had a brief get-together

Only 1 week to go for Karioi Classic

on Monday and the consensus was that things were going fine.

The trust minibus, which has been making two round trips each Sunday since Easter, is averaging 11 passengers a day.

And Chamber of Commerce secretary Angela Williams reckoned that meant the service was breaking even – “and in winter that’s great”.

She said usage of the shuttle was split “very much 50:50 between the Raglan community and backpackers”.

Raglan loses master surfboard maker he sign “Gone surfing R.I.P.” T outside a closed Raglan Surf Co shop on Monday may have been a little cryptic for visitors but said it all for locals – renowned surfboard maker and Raglan businessman Craig (Hughsey) Hughes died last weekend at age 58 after a long battle with cancer.

Baddeley even hinted the shuttle had been such a success it might provide further services in the future.

He said the minibus – which carries nine passengers and a wheelchair –did have to be upgraded to a higher safety standard but had proven “just the size we need”.

He added the three-way venture was a great example of how a community could work positively together.

The shuttle fills in where Environment Waikato bus services left off at the end of summer.

Hughsey did his early surfing and shaping around Whakatane and Ohope then had an extended stint in Europe, where his Wave Graffiti boards developed a strong following, before settling with wife Liz in Raglan in the mid-1980s and re-establishing the Town & Country brand.

Raglan Surf Co soon developed a name as the most progressive board factory in the country and at one point it seemed every second top surfer in New Zealand was on a Hughsey. Despite T & C’s subsequent demise Hughsey went on to complete around 44 years as a master surfboard maker and airbrush maestro.

With the factory transferred out of the CBD some years ago, an expanded Raglan Surf Co shop has developed into a leading retailer of top-of-the-range boards, surfing gear and products.

Craig is survived by Liz, sons Luke

and Nat – both now accomplished shapers themselves – and daughter Ariel.

The Chronicle will carry a full obituary next week.

This week the Chronicle caught up with artist Tessa Skerman.

Brief description of your practice?

Painting is my passion, yet I delve into other creative avenues too. I have recently been focused on my painting. I layer and build up my surfaces with a little texture and sometimes montage, then I paint in layers.

What are you working on at the moment?

I have just taken on a painting commission, which I’m really excited about. Eventually I would love to have enough cohesive work for an exhibition.

Are you from an artistic family? When did you start to paint?

My mum is talented in crafts and my dad is an engineer and great at making contraptions. We are a very ‘hands on’ family. I got into painting when I was about 15 years old.

How did you end up living in Raglan?

My husband and I got itchy feet where we were living down on the Kapiti Coast a few years ago. We had both been to Raglan on separate occasions years earlier, and it made an impact on us, so we decided to give it a go.

The best piece of advice you ever got?

There is no point worrying about things out of your control, and don’t worry about things/situations that haven’t even happened yet. (My mum).

Best and worst thing about being an artist?

The best thing is having an idea and watching it evolve in front of you. The worse thing is just not having the time to create whenever I want.

What would you save in a fire? (apart from your family and pets) The contemporary quilt my mum made me, it took her 10 years to complete! Its like no other and it’s amazing!! I would call it a masterpiece.

If money were no object what frivilous non essential would you buy for yourself?

An around the world plane ticket, which includes my husband and son and no time limit. Our first stop would be back to visit our friends in the Himilayan mountains. I would want my son to experience living the extremely basic mountain life, and to hang out with the cutest Nepalese kids.

What four people dead or alive would you have to a dinner party?

Nelson Mandela, Leonardo Da Vinci, Xavier Rudd, Henri Charrière (author of Papillon) Best holiday or traveling experience you have ever had?

Hard to pin point one, I love travel and have had some amazing experiences. One in particular that comes to mind is being stranded in Venice at midnight! My friend and I parked our VW combi on the mainland and caught a water taxi across to the city on water. When it was time to head back to our van, the water taxi drivers had gone on strike! We ran through the quiet quaint alleyways, laughing at the adventure of it all as the city slept.

Venice was surreal at that time of the night.

Are you a dog or a cat person?

Dog person. We have a foxy cross called Trev and he’s a character, a persistant stick fetching character!

Do you have recurring dreams? What about?

Not as an adult, I have random one off ones these days! but as a child I would dream that my sister and I were taken out to sea on a boat, and then thrown overboard. I would spend the night floating in the ocean keeping my sister afloat…….we never went under, we just bobbed about.

Marathon effort to save the elephant and rhino D

on’t be surprised if you see an elephant and a rhino thundering side by side around Raglan streets in the coming months – they’ll simply be in training for a marathon.

In a bid to raise awareness nationally of the imminent threat of extinction facing earth’s largest remaining land mammals, Raglan men Gareth Jones and Francois Mazet are training up to compete in the high-profile adidas Auckland marathon in early November.

And Team Tusk & Horn, as they’re billed, will be running the whole 42.2km course – which takes competitors over the iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge – in specially made costumes and head pieces representing the two species which it is feared could be extinct by 2025 as a result of illegal trading.

While Francois is a novice at the distance, Gareth’s previously completed both a marathon and last year’s Karioi Classic around-themountain cycle race – the latter also in an elephant costume.

But for the Auckland marathon

Gareth and Francois will both be in new designer costumes from Auckland, and head pieces created specially by Raglan creative duo Tim Turner, an artist, and tattooist Tracy Brechelt.

It was the success of Gareth’s fundraiser ride in the Karioi Classic, combined with what his zookeeper wife Sarah describes as “the relentless poaching atrocities happening daily across the entire continent of Africa”, which has now persuaded Sarah to set up the Tusk & Horn Wildlife Trust as a registered New Zealand charitable trust.

With locals Rhonda Chung and Megan Clemance also aboard as trustees, the trust is setting about raising awareness and educating the New Zealand public on the plight of the elephant and rhino.

Sarah says the species have barely a dozen years left if the “insatiable demand to own a piece of elephant ivory or the mistaken belief a rhino’s horn can cure everything from a hangover to cancer are allowed to continue”.

She points out a rhino’s horn is in fact made of keratin, the same

substance found in fingernails and hair.

Sarah says the trust’s goal right now is exposure through November 3’s Auckland Marathon, with media coverage hopefully “pushing people to recognise the urgency surrounding this topic and – most importantly – the Government’s responsibility in tackling this through making drastic changes to the current laws surrounding wildlife crime”.

Meanwhile Sarah continues to spread the message at provincial level through her work at Hamilton Zoo, where she looks after seven rhinos and gives talks on the endangered species four times a week. She confesses to being “constantly amazed how many of the people I speak to are unaware of the crisis these animals are in and the threats pushing them to extinction”. Edith Symes Raglan people wanting to show their support to Africa’s elephants and rhinos by supporting the two Auckland Marathon ‘mascots’ can find the Tusk & Horn Wildlife Trust on Facebook or email sarah@ tusk+horn@gmail.com.

Raglan Youth heading to Crossfit Games omething of a fitness S revolution, Crossfit has been gaining a lot of popularity over the past few years. Sixteen-year-old ‘Boi,’ Te Huringa Whitiora, is a bit of an enthusiast and his hard work sees him off to the 2013 Reebok Crossfit Games held in California later this month.

A mix of aerobic exercise, body weight exercises and Olympic weight lifting, Crossfit is a strength and conditioning program described as “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement,” with the aim of preparing your body to be ready for any physical challenge.

As a teen, Boi will be attending the invitational CrossFit Kids Varsity Gauntlet held at the Games.

The competition is by invitation only and Boi is among the top athletes from the various Gauntlet events that take place worldwide.

Having already achieved third place at a previous Gauntlet with competitors from the USA, UK and New Zealand, Boi has been busy fundraising to get to the states next weekend.

Training at CrossFit Te Rapa, he has had the support of the crew and coaches there as well as All Black Liam Messam, who donated his time and a signed All Blacks jersey to Boi’s fundraiser.

The current male CrossFit champion, Rich Froning Jr, is described as the ‘Worlds Fittest Man’ and pretty soon Boi will also be competing furiously in a bid to become the ‘Worlds Fittest Teenager.’ Maki Nishiyama

'Boi' Te Huringa Whitiora

Fundraiser planned to support A21 21 stands for 'Abolish A slavery in the 21st Century'. Most kiwis think slavery was abolished back in the 1860's with William Wilberforce and Abraham Lincoln.

However, worldwide the reality is far different with approximately 27 million people in slavery today.

There are more slaves right now than ever before and every 30 seconds another is tricked, trapped or trafficked into slavery. Even in

NZ there are incidences of modern day slavery with people trapped in the sex industry against their will and migrants in illegal work situations with little or no pay.

Surfside Church is planning a fundraiser and information day to raise awareness and provide support for the A21 Campaign, a not-for-profit organisation, which is making considerable inroads into the human trafficking problem internationally. All proceeds will be donated to A21 to provide rescued individuals fresh new clothes of their own, one of the first acts of

returning dignity and showing love these women and children require.

On Saturday 27th July in the Town Hall supper room, from 9am until midday, we will be having a clothing sale of good quality 2nd hand clothes as well as home baking for sale. Come along, buy some clothes or baking for your family.

If you have any enquiries or any good quality clothes you would like to donate, please email marion@ surfside.co.nz or phone the Surfside Office 825 5199.

See you there, Pastor Roger Peart

Letters continued from page 2.....

I suggest they take a drive around and observe the state of the other holm oaks planted at this time, noting that most are in a state of decline (which incidentally opens them up to the potential of ganoderm rot.) Conversely the pohutakawas planted at the same time are thriving trees in the prime of their lives.

I’m sure the Raglan Beautification Society of the 1940's-1950's had the best intentions in planting these oaks but lets move on and learn from their short-sightedness, in those days people still thought privet hedges were a good idea. I’m sure most true Raglan locals would prefer a pohutakawa to any exotic tree, certainly the ones I have spoken to would.

I am happy to discuss these issues or any others involving trees, feel free to contact me, Matt Henderson-New Leaf Tree Services. 8250332 To the Editor, I wish to clarify some points in your article on the Cliff St reserve.

In regard to removing the holm oak tree, the Waikato Council staff member and the arborist were correct in deciding it had to be removed. The core of the trunk was decayed and in time it would have fallen over.

The mix of Kermadec pohutukawas, holm oaks and New Zealand pohutukawas along Cliff St are protected in the District Plan. In this case it is the Waikato Council's job to both police the plan and to comply with it as the land owner.

Ratepayers are often saying to me, "it is one law for the Council and another law for the rest of us". In the case of the holm oak in Cliff St, Council should have applied for a resource consent to remove the tree.

This would have been referred to the ward councillor and myself and been approved promptly given the hazard caused by the decayed trunk.

What I have learnt so far is that Council staff were not aware that the tree was protected. These protected trees are a taonga of our community.

My questions to Ngaruawahia were asked to reveal if the notable tree provisions for the Cliff St reserve in the District Plan are being adequately managed.

Unfortunately over the last few years Council governance and management has become weak. Not properly managing the requirements of the notable tree list in the District Plan is just another example of this.

The Waikato District Council needs to lift its performance.

Rodger Gallagher, Chairperson Raglan Community Board

To the Editor, I think there is general agreement the tree had to go. That’s a no brainer.

The tree was rotten at the bottom, doomed in any case. It’s surprising it stood up as long as it did. Take a look; the workers had the foresight to leave the stump for inspection. The extent of the rot is obvious, soft enough for kids to dig much of it away with a spoon to make quite a cool little hut.

The issue here is one of public safety and the duty of council staff to act to protect the public if they see a serious risk from a hazard for which council has responsibility.

The tree in question was, given the wild weather we have been experiencing, in imminent danger of crashing to the ground, not in picturesque, resource consent paced slow motion but with an abrupt, carcrushing finality.

Operational staff, whether health, police, council or whatever, don’t have the luxury of a head-in-the-sand pretence that a risk is not there. Nor are they always able to put the risk on hold while they make submissions to a lengthy consultation process. If they are aware of an imminent risk and don’t act they are in danger of being criminally negligent.

It has a disingenuous ring to say “I haven’t taken the time to inspect the tree myself but I know they didn’t follow due process.”

We all know the local body elections are coming up. It would be a pity if diligent operational staff became meat in the sandwich of political point-scoring.

Ross Henderson, Raglan To the Editor, In reply to Barry Ashby's 'scateboard friendly zone' where they share the main street with vehicles. I don't think there is any way that could be made safe. Is there?

I do think the main street needs to be altered to enhance the Raglan atmosphere though. One way to do that is by making Cliff Street one way, as has been talked about for years. That would free up the return road by Orca. The geen area that used to be the centre of the road could be extented to the large pohutakawa.

Bollards would be needed around the edge. Part of this new area could be used for displays of local talent using a booking system, other parts for gathering and relaxing. A few car parks could still be available outside the butcher for 10min pickups and disabled. Replace the lost parking spaces by using the large verges currently existing around the CBD. We Nero Street has public land that could be made useful in a similar way.

What do you think?

Lois Brooks, Raglan

Nannie hanging up apron After four years at the helm of Bow Street’s official fish and chips shop, everyone’s favourite nanny Rangi Kereopa will be retiring for a much-deserved rest.

“I would like to thank the awesome people of Raglan for their support. To the people who traveled from afar just to have fish ‘n’ chips at Nannies, thank you!

Thank you to everyone for making Nannie’s Takeaways the success that it was,” said Rangi.

While her smiling face and friendly banter will be dearly missed she says, “after Piripi’s (my husband) passing, a piece of the jigsaw puzzle was missing and the business never felt the same!”

Nannies now has a new owner and Rangi wishes Therese Simek and her family “all the best’ with their new business. Maki Nishiyama

Opinion Is there a difference? - by Peter Storey Sitting eating a nice steak with a glass of wine and watching the TV news…I am wondering what today’s new way to waste tax payer’s money will be!

I am not disappointed...… We have graphic video, designed for most impact at dinner time, of Japanese whale boats killing whales and a story about the NZ Government taking the Japanese to court. Our Attorney General, telling whoever will listen, about how appalling this wanton killing is and how the Japanese are hiding behind research to put whale meat on their tables.

How much is his junket to The Hague costing us? This indignation from a country that’s primary industry is built on the wanton slaughter of other mammals. Where are the videos of cows and sheep being killed for our consumption to balance the story?

Such arrogant hypocrisy!

This got me thinking…. The reason

for the indignation is that whales and of course dolphins are seen as endangered species and man needs to intervene to halt what is seen as their inevitable extinction.

There is no talk of cows and sheep becoming extinct so if it is okay to farm and then slaughter them for food why don’t we farm whales and dolphins? If we farmed them there would never be any danger of extinction and we could build a big industry around it.

Why should Japan be the only country to make money off whales?

Raglan could build an industry around the farming of Maui dolphins and we could serve it in our restaurants, write recipe books and even have cooking shows.

We could be trend setters and solve a big costly problem for our country.

After all, the futile attempt to save them must be costing the country a fortune.

It probably won’t get off the ground but a great option … surely!
