Roosters roll on despite draw

A freezing cold and blustery Sunday greeted the Eastern Suburbs and Raglan Roosters teams at the Kopua Domain this week. In the first half the Eastern Suburbs players found a couple of holes in our usually impenetrable defense - scoring the first goal. Raglan equalled with a fine goal - courtesy of Fraser - he also scored our next goal. Eastern Suburbs speedily equalled bringing the half time score to 2-2. Big defenses from both teams in the second half and some exciting near misses, made it entertaining football to watch for the number of keen supporters present.

Final score - 2-2.

Whaingaroa author, te reo pioneer and golfer mourned

management board member Tony Burns as a “passionate member” of the local club.

Dame Katerina was club president for three years only relatively recently, before current president Mike Goodison took over. But way back in the early ‘80s when the Te Hutewai Road course was being established – after Maori land rights activist the late Eva Rickard won the former golf course land in Ocean Beach Road back from the Government for her people – she and her husband helped plant all the pine trees that are there today.

Katerina Mataira – despite her 79 years – regularly played an 18-hole round up at Te Hutewai Road until shortly before her death this month in Hamilton. Her passing has left nine children, 50 grandchildren spanning three generations and people all over the country in mourning for a woman who only weeks earlier had been made a Dame in the Queen’s Birthday honours for services to her language.

Her daughter – also called Katarina Mataira and based in Raglan at Te Mauri Tau, an incorporated society fostering Maori identity and community – says Dame Katerina loved golf and made every effort to get her people involved locally, traditionally hosting the Maori Golf Tournament.

She also served for three years recently as Raglan Golf Club president, the culmination of an involvement dating back decades to when she and her husband helped plant out the relocated Raglan golf course.

Dame Katerina also wrote passionately for decades, adds her daughter, largely from her home across the causeway on the Rangitahi Peninsula where son Ratu now lives with his wife Donna and their four children.

“

But her inspiration was her home in Whaingaroa and her mokopuna (grandchildren), all of whom she had close personal relationships with, says Katarina. “She was adamant we needed to excite (young) people about language and keep them involved as much as possible.”

“Rangi and his Dinosaurs” or “Nga Mokonui a Rangi” – about grandson Rangi Stevenson who is now in his late teens and an accomplished rugby player – is one such colourful children’s book which made its way onto bookshelves at both the local kindergarten and schools as well as entrancing a national audience. It tells the story of Rangi who dreams about a land of friendly dinosaurs and a whole lot of lollies.

“Maui and the Big Fish” and “Marama Tangiweto” were other award-winning picture books.

Then there was “Kapa Haka a Kereana”, also

written for her mokopuna, which tells of another grandchild – a very accomplished singer and kapa haka performer – whose parents separated and left her yearning for her father to come home to see her sing and dance.

“She was always very good at picking up stories about her grandchildren,” says Katarina.

“PIngi Pingi Pi”, the story of an iconic bumble bee, is yet another popular and enduring title.

Dame Katerina also wrote several groundbreaking novels, the first of them “Te Atea”, published in 1975.

It was science fiction done in haka form, says daughter Katarina, and led the way to a new creative expression in Maori – “looking to the future” as opposed to the traditional Maori tales of creation.

”

“Makorea” and “Rehua” followed, the former one of her first novels written for high school students. Dame Katerina travelled and researched before writing the novel on a scholarship from Otago University, says Katarina. It was recently made into a radio play by Te Taura Whiri te Reo (The Maori Language Commission), with the voices of local kaumatua Sean Ellison and Dame Katerina telling the story.

Her mother, Katarina adds, always appreciated that the local bookshop downtown stocked a good selection of her work and other Maori publications – both in Maori and in English.

This accessibility to the growing body of Maori literature was another key strategy for the revitalisation of te reo Maori within the wider community, which was Dame Katerina’s life’s passion.

Outside of her creative talents and closeness to her whanau, playing golf was Dame Katerina’s favourite pastime and she is remembered by

She was renowned on the national stage as one of Maoridom’s leaders and a te reo pioneer, but many Raglan residents probably knew her better in quite a different role – as a fanatical golfer and golfing administrator.

Art Trail success creates demand for a repeat

In January 2011 over 36 Raglan Artists participated in the three-day Open Studio Weekend over Anniversary Weekend. Painters, potters, sculptors, photographers, mixed media, textile, jewellery, and other artists opened their studios to the public for viewing. The Open Studio event, which was successful in bringing many visitors to Raglan Whaingaroa for the weekend, was promoted in conjunction with the ongoing Raglan Art Trail Guide.

The success of this year’s event has seen Whaingaroa artists and local businesses urge the Arts Council to update the Guide and hold another Open Studio event over Anniversary Weekend 2012 (28-30 January), and planning for this is already underway.

The 2012 Raglan Art Trail Guide will again be the official guide for the Open Studio Weekend The new edition will supersede

the 2011 guide which will be withdrawn from circulation. Five thousand copies of the 2012 version will be printed and distributed widely to the greater Waikato region, Auckland, Northland and Bay of Plenty area. Both locals and visitors alike value the Guide as a resource and hold on to it as an ongoing source of information and referral. The 2012 Guide will be published late 2011 and distributed prior to summer.

Artists wishing to be included in the Raglan Whaingaroa Arts Trail Guide 2012 should contact Jacqueline Anderson before 29th July. Jacqueline can be contacted at the Old School Arts Centre, Stewart St, Raglan open Mondays and Wednesday 10.00am – 2.00pm. Phone 825 0023 or email info@raglanartscentre.co.nz Judith Collins

Fashion show in support of local teenager A few weeks ago Molly Frank (17) was diagnosed with a rare form of soft-tissue cancer. She is currently receiving intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment at Auckland’s Starship Hospital.

Molly moved to Raglan from the Kapiti Coast one year ago to live with her aunt and pursue study in early childhood education at Vision College. As well as full time study, Molly volunteered at the Raglan Day Care Centre, did work experience at the local Kindergarten and babysat for several families.

Her Aunt, Michele Frank, says children simply “adore” Molly.

At the same time and unaware of all that was unfolding for Molly and her family Sophie von Huben, who owns the boutique pre-loved fashion shop ‘Frocking Gorgeous’, had decided it was time to do something positive to promote her shop and other clothing outlets in Raglan.

A fashion show seemed the perfect idea.

With an attitude that can best be described as a ‘glass half full rather than half empty view of life’ Sophie decided the fashion show would be just the thing to whip up some energy at this quiet time for retailers. Her mother, Lorraine von Huben who works at Scintilla in Bow Street was enlisted to help with organising the show.

“We’ve held fashion shows before for charity and I thought Sophie’s idea to actually do something rather than just wait for business to pick up was really positive. Retailers need to do everything they can to promote themselves when things are quiet”, says Lorraine.

When news of Molly’s plight became known to Sophie and others involved in the show the decision was made to give all the proceeds to Molly to use in whatever way she wanted.

“Molly’s such a neat girl. Her attitude given what she is facing is amazing. We just wanted to do whatever we could to help”, says Lorraine.

Greetings Whaingaroa and Visitors.

Theft from Cars x 10 - Snowden Pl, Tahuna Ave, Lily St, Government Rd, Norrie Ave, Cliff St, Cambrae Rd, Lorenzen Bay Rd, Gilmour St (x2).

TRAFFIC: 9 x Drivers Licence Suspension Notices for Excess Demerit Points have been issued. Once you reach 100 demerit points, your drivers licence is suspended for 3 months. Changes to the fines/fees structure particularly for Learner and Restricted drivers licence breaches means lower fines, but higher demerits. It doesn’t take too many tickets to reach the 100 demerit point threshold. Something to keep in mind.

Due to the increasing number of crashes occurring on State Highway 23 (Raglan to Hamilton highway), Waikato Highway Patrol units have been tasked to patrol this highway more. As a result, expect to see these traffic units on the highway as well as in town more frequently.

Overnight Wed 21st - Thurs 22nd of July there were 7 thefts from cars. They were all over the eastern side of town from Lorenzen Bay, Cambrae Rd, Government Rd, Norrie Ave, Cliff St and Gilmour St. All the cars were parked in driveways, and all were unlocked. We would be interested to hear from anyone who has any information regarding these thefts.

Some simple security advice: Garage your vehicles at night if you can. If you can’t, park vehicles in your driveway, and lock them. Consider car alarms.

If you’ve got a gate, close it. Security lighting is a great deterrent.

MESSAGE OF THE WEEK: We have become aware that residents may be approached by a male or group of males from Hamilton offering to cut down trees and/or complete property maintenance jobs. These groups have been known to use intimidation to get the work, and then charge exorbitant fees for the work carried out.

There are several reputable local maintenance/lawn mowing services available, so our advice would be to use local services, rather than unknown out of town firms.

Raglan Police Team.

If anyone has any information on any of the above incidents, or have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 825 8200. Any information received can be treated as anonymous.

Sunset Motel has provided the venue for the show this Friday July 29 at no cost.

For those attending, the evening promises to be full of surprises, with entertainment, amazing spot-prizes and great fashion from shops Scintilla, Flaxen and Frocking Gorgeous along with samples from the ‘Sisterhood’ clothing line. The clothes displayed will be auctioned on the night by Ray White’s Julie Hanna with all items carrying a $1 reserve.

“And the models will be all shapes and sizes so there will be something for everyone”, says Lorraine.

Tickets for the show are $18. There may still be some available from the shops involved.

Meanwhile Molly and her family are overwhelmed with all the support and encouragement they are receiving at this tough time.

Molly Frank

Auntie Michele says they really want to “thank everyone so much” who has helped in the past few weeks since Molly’s diagnosis.

Molly has decided to use the money that will come her way to purchase an Iphone which she can use to keep in touch with the world while she’s receiving her treatment.

Coastal residents fear ruin from $30,000 sewerage cost Whaanga Coast residents say a number of homeowners in their community fear losing their homes in trying to meet spiralling costs of connecting to Raglan’s wastewater system – and that a recent Waikato District Council open day on the issue left them disgruntled and with myriad unanswered questions.

“It’s a tough ask,” said Manu Bay’s Gavin Melgren of the predicted $22,500 cost per property. That’s more than $5000 up from the $17,148 estimated earlier, and a figure which skyrockets to $30,000 with interest over 10 years. He said his rates would more than double if the proposal went ahead in its current form.

“It’s going to change things for me,” Gavin told the Chronicle this week. “I’m hoping there’s going to be a magic bullet.

Some [residents] are going to have to move on.”

Whale Bay resident Jo Gibbs was also in despair after the open day at the surf club, where about 100 residents left the council in no doubt at their concerns over the $2.2 million wastewater reticulation project.

“We didn’t get anywhere,” lamented Jo. Most people there, she claimed, didn’t want to go with the plan – but she had come away from the open day with no confidence the

council would come up with an alternative.

“I feel they’ll say they’ve ‘consulted’, will tick that box and carry on.”

She said she like most Whaanga Coast residents, many with ageing septic tanks, agreed something needed to be done about a wastewater system which was ultimately polluting Raglan’s world-renowned surf breaks.

Such is the interest in the future of the hospital that over 100 Raglan residents braved the cold and attended a meeting called by the Trust to hear a proposal by the current operator of the hospital to purchase it – a proposal which the Trust said it supported at this time.

Trust Chairperson Peter Storey began the meeting by saying the Trust was looking at moving in new directions and that they had “compelling” reasons to do so at this time.

“We are locked into a 12 year lease, providing minimal rental return and most of what we receive in rent we return into the building to meet our maintenance and compliance obligations”, he said.

Mr Storey said the hospital needed considerable work at a large cost to upgrade and expand it.

Fellow Trustee, Norris Peart said the Trust, at this stage, supported the idea of selling the property to the operator on the basis that a covenant existed on sale ensuring the hospital/rest home would continue to operate as such in perpetuity.

“We are most interested in being able to keep a rest home facility available to the Raglan community long-term”, said Mr Peart.

“For the hospital to stay in Raglan, there has to be quite a lot of money spent to upgrade and extend it. The Trust has been for a long time in a poor financial position and just in the last two or so years we have become almost debt free”.

Mr Storey went on to explain that the Trust’s capacity to borrow funds, based on the current valuation of the property was $340,000.

“If the Trust were to decide instead

The council had another open day scheduled for August 6, but has now postponed that meeting. “We want to be sure that we can better respond to questions raised and carry out further work on the proposed project and possible options,” said acting general manager water & facilities M e r v y n Sumanaratne in a media statement following on from the open day.

heads should roll” “WDC- Coast resident.

But she also warned “a lot of people could lose their homes” if the council stuck with the only option presented at the open day.

“Everybody knows there’s a problem and it needs to be fixed but do you have to break people to do it?” she asked. “It’s pretty scary.”

Environmentalist and Upper Wainui Road resident Malibu Hamilton also saw the potential for some residents to have to sell their properties if forced to connect to what he described as an already overloaded wastewater system with no guarantees of a better outcome.

Questions didn’t get answered on the day, he said, claiming that a “we’ll get back to you” was the standard council response.

That approach was not fair, he said.

Trust Hospital’s future discussed Deciding what is best to do with an old building, demanding large sums to be spent on it each year in maintenance and compliance would not necessarily be a hard-call for its owner, except in this case the building in question is the Raglan Trust Hospital, and the owners are The Raglan Hospital Charitable Trust.

“Council needs to answer all the hard questions.”

Despite the “valuable and constructive feedback”, he still urged Whaanga Coast ratepayers to fill in their forms from the meeting and return them this week to council, even if they had already voiced their concerns.

“It is important the council has the benefit of all viewpoints about the project …

“We recognise that people are concerned at the costs put forward and we will be focusing on this as a priority to decide on the best course of action.”

Meantime others in the area affected by the controversial scheme – which include Te Tuhi and Calvert Roads, and, closer to town, Earls Place and Upper Wainui Road – said Waikato District Council heads “should roll” for passing the buck to the polluters when it was council subdivision approvals in the first place that got residents in this mess.

Coast residents compare the proposed $30,000 all-up connection fee with that of a mere $1800 paid by Raglan town dwellers.

They dispute the perception they are wealthy and can afford so huge a cost, and say the fact is their land values have simply “shot up”.

One longtime Whale Bay resident, who didn’t want to be named, estimated that Waikato District Council and the Waikato Regional Council were collecting $300,000 per year from Whaanga Coast ratepayers.

He said that equated to $3 million over 10 years, and he considered it “gross negligence” that the funds have not been earmarked for such an essential-service project.

Whaingaroa Harbour Care’s Fred Lichtwark – an Upper Wainui Road resident – claimed it was a very serious situation.

Council didn’t present any other options at the open day, he agreed, and yet to hook into the existing wastewater treatment plant in Wainui Road would simply overload an already dysfunctional system. “It’s (just) moving the problem.”

Raglan ward councillor Clint Baddeley was pleased with the turnout at the open day, the level of interest from Whaanga Coast residents and their desire to protect the environment, but said he could offer no clear way forward at this stage.

“As a councillor I am concerned at the cost and we need to look at ways to deal with that … we need to digest the feedback and see where to from here.” Edith Symes

to fund the cost of upgrade and future development we would need at least twice this amount. We have an opportunity at this time to sell the premises and put the proceeds from sale toward other Trust objectives in Raglan”, said Mr Storey.

“We’re between a rock and a hard place and we are open to hearing ideas from the community for us to consider.

There is no done deal”.

Rodger Gallagher asked for clarification about the lease agreement which he said seemed weighted favourably toward the leasee. Mr Storey responded that the nature of the lease was such that it was. Mr Gallagher also questioned whether funds could come from a targeted rate for property owners in Raglan and surrounds.

A number of other issues were raised, including the responsibilities, if any, that the DHB had toward financially supporting the hospital. Mr Storey explained that the DHB had no financial responsibility.

Local resident Barry Ashby asked the Trust whether there were any time constraints they were operating in to make a decision regarding selling the hospital. Mr Storey said the Trust had control of the time-line.

Dr Rebecca Doran commented that doctors in Raglan hugely supported the hospital remaining open.

“It’s an invaluable resource. We also see it needs to operate as a business.

It needs to develop and that’s a huge amount of work for anyone taking this on. The community needs to appreciate this”, she said.

Vin Glynn pointed out that there was a difference between spending money to make the hospital compliant, and spending money to improve and expand.

If the property is not to be sold, there is an urgent need for financial and practical help from the community.

A further meeting was called for, and this is to take place next Monday, August 1st, at 7.00 p.m. at the fire station.

?!

filling you in each month with the green-goings-on This month: Thank you to EnviroMatters’ sponsors

Big ups to our sponsors!

Every month EnviroMatters is brought to you with the help of our fantastic sponsors.

Their support brings you Whaingaroa’s green news, views and gardening tips.

simplistic to luxurious eco accommodation

This month’s sponsor feature: Bizworx Bizworx have sponsored EnviroMatters from the first edition, and have shown their commitment to sustainable business practices through their participation in WEC’s Carbonwise-Sustainabiz project. Carbonwise-Sustainabiz aims to show businesses how to reduce their carbon footprint and running costs, through operating more sustainably.

Lynne Wilkins, Director of Bizworx (and super cool accountant) has this to say about working with WEC and the Sustainabiz programme: Bizworx Consultancy Limited, Chartered Accountants, started out some years ago with the goal to operate with a sustainable focus. We have been learning as we go. Sustainabiz gave us an opportunity to accelerate that learning and apply specific information that is relevant to our operations. What I like about how everything has been presented to us is the common sense approach, and the demonstration that the smallest of changes can make a difference has provided encouragement to everyone in the team.

I think education on how to be green is crucial. As a business that advises other businesses, we’ve got an opportunity now to include environmental sustainability as part of the forecasting and planning we assist our clients with, because there are genuine cost savings to be made. We believe that businesses who adopt sustainable practice, and advertise this effectively, are going to be in a position to increase their market share.

To find our more about our sponsors, becoming a sponsor or becoming a sustainable business stop in to the Whaingaroa Environment Centre or contact us at 825 0480, or wenvc@kol.co.nz.

A broad billed prion skims across the water’s surface

The huge westerly gales we have been experiencing this month have led to lots of seabirds being “wrecked” on beaches and in town. Over 1000 prions were counted at Ngarunui beach by one person on 14th July, and the vets have dealt with dozens!

Vege of the Month: Radish tokan ashi This long, white Japanese radish grows well throughout the colder months, and packs a real punch flavour wise. The whole plant is edible – the leaves can be cooked like spinach or kale, and the roots offer a spicy, mustardy kick to salads and soups. In Japanese cuisine radish is often pickled to eat alongside sushi.

Specific changes that we have made as a result of Sustainabiz include, a much more educated and focussed approach to dealing with waste. We have recently installed a compost bin to compliment our worm farm, which gives us more options for recycling kitchen waste. Currently we are reviewing ways of reducing our electricity consumption, and are reviewing sustainable options for a variety of stationery products.

Small seabirds like prions need to eat quite often to maintain energy, and the combination of rough seas and huge winds make this hard. Then exhaustion overcomes them and they are swept inland.

One species found this month is the Broad billed prion, Pachyptila vittata. This beautiful little bird with soft blue-grey plumage and bright blue feet is the largest prion. It filters plankton from the water with its wide bill. If you look closely you can see lamellae, which are filters, like the baleen on a whale.

If you find a small seabird on land that clearly cannot fly, either take it to the vet, or bring it (in a box) to Kimberley at WEC. Larger birds need expert handling so ring the vet for help.

Since 1951 the Ornithological Society of New Zealand (OSNZ) has been conducting beach patrols, and recording bird wrecks.

Supersports at Raglan Club Last Sunday afternoon 10 members of the Raglan Club competed for the chance to represent their club at a supersports tournament to be held at The Whangamata Club on August 13 and 14.

Maureen Wahanga and Dave Gatland

to win the supersports pairs title and are looking to repeat this effort again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been going to the tournament for years now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great event and it gives us a chance to prove our skill against some tough competition from clubs in the greater Waikato areaâ&#x20AC;?, says Maureen.

Alison Kite and Jerry Waretini won through against some tough opposition and will also go to Whangamata to compete in the singles section.

Sue Russell

Each competitor played 8 ball, indoor bowls and darts in a knock-out system and some close matches were had.

Locals, Maureen Wahanga and Dave Gatland again prevailed and will play in the pairs section at Whangamata.

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time Maureen and Dave have teamed up to play at the tournament. In 2006 they came through

PechaKucha night PechaKucha is back in town this Saturday with a fascinating menu of presentations, just the thing to cheer us up on a cold winter evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is PechaKucha again?â&#x20AC;? I hear you ask. Very simply, a number of people share their ideas, interests or projects in mini-presentations of 20 images in 6 minutes 40 seconds. Presenters are people you know, or people youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to meet.

Topics can be anything theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re passionate about and would like to tell others about.

It might be their day job, it might be a hobby, it might be some special experience in their lives. PechaKucha, a world-wide entertainment format, happens in Raglan at the Old School Arts Centre.

For this, the first PechaKucha night of 2011, the line-up is impressive: Come and hear Jamie Bruce, award winning architectural designer of our new museum building, talking about what inspired him and the challenges of designing a building of this type.

Robert Batters (Senior Project Manager within Meridian Energyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Renewable Development team) will be giving us the inside story on our very own Te Uku wind

farm, while Rick Thorpe will take us a long way from home to have a look at the oil fires of Kuwait.

Back home again with Virginia Gallagherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photographs of Raglan in 1910 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a follow up to a previous presentation when the audience asked for â&#x20AC;&#x153;more pleaseâ&#x20AC;?.

Daughter Robyn Gallagher is also a return presenter, with an intriguing glimpse of touring New Zealand with Maurice Shadboltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50 year old guide book.

Back to the present with some style ideas from Rosie Worsp, while business and personal coach Stephanie Philp will share ideas on designing a calendar and Bob MacLeod will offer some insights into the way our volunteer fire service works.

Something for everyone, in fact.

But PechaKucha is about much more than just sitting and watching what other people do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity to enjoy the cash bar and other refreshments while you meet, mix and mingle with presenters and their families and friends. Just $7 on the door at the Old School, Saturday 30 July, 7.30pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see you there.
