To  the  editor, It  has  been  interesting  to  keep  an  eye  on  the  use  of  the  Raglan  bus  now  that  the  Sunday  service  has  been  terminated.  The  net  result  seems  to  be  that  weekend  use  of  the  service  has  dropped  sharply.  The  reasons  for  this  were  quite  predictable.  Frequently,  usage  would  have  been  by  people  who  wanted  to  visit  Raglan  for  the  weekend  or  going  to  Hamilton  for  one  or  two  nights.  Removing  the  Sunday  bus  service  has  sabotaged  both  of  these  possibilities.  Weekend  buses  were  always  run  with  quite  low  numbers  but  nevertheless  were  important  to  those  that  used  them.  The  use  of  a  smaller  bus  on  such  routes  seems  a  logical  answer  and  I  have  not  seen  any  RI¿FLDO DQVZHU DV WR ZK\ WKLV LV QRW SRVVLEOH 7KHUH LV a  similar  and  much  greater  problem  in  Hamilton  where  large  buses  with  only  a  few  passengers  scoot  around  all  day,  except  at  peak  morning  and  evening  busy  periods.  The  development  of  bus  services  was  partly  to  get  people  out  of  their  cars,  not  a  lot  of  progress  there.

The  usual  reason  given  for  not  solving  the  Raglan  bus  service  problems  is  that  there  is  not  enough  money  in  the  transport  budget.  The  answer  to  that  is  to  divert  more  funds  into  the  transport  fund  and  away  from  councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  vanity  projects  like  the  velodrome.

Council yet to tie up most wharf tenancies

The  council,  however,  says  the  rents  were  recommended  by  an  independent  YDOXHU DQG WKDW LW LV QHJRWLDWLQJ WR ¿OO the  remainder  of  the  635  square  metres  of  rentable  space.

Water  &  facilities  general  manager  Richard  Bax  says  the  building  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  which  replaces  the  corrugated  iron  â&#x20AC;&#x153;shedsâ&#x20AC;?  razed  in  a  spectacular  early  morning  ¿UH LQ $SULO Âą LV VHW IRU FRPSOHWLRQ WKLV PRQWK DQG IRU DQ RIÂżFLDO RSHQLQJ LQ $XJXVW $QG ZKLOH KH FRQÂżUPV WKDW IRXU RI the  seven  separate  tenancies  have  yet  to  be  taken  up,  he  emphasises  the  council  is  â&#x20AC;&#x153;working  with  a  number  of  interested  parties  who  are  wanting  to  leaseâ&#x20AC;?.

His  reassurance  comes  after  a  small  businessman  complained  he  was  brushed  off  when  he  asked  the  council  if  the  rent  levels  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  which  he  said  were  as  high  as  in  the  centre  of  town  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  were  negotiable.   He  pointed  out  that  several  retail  premises  in  town  had  been  empty  for  some  months.

Mr  Bax  says  the  wharf  rents  have  been  calculated  using  rents  from  across Â

the  Raglan  area  and  not  just  the  CBD.  $OWKRXJK WKH UHQWV DUH KLJKHU WKDQ previously,  he  says  rents  in  the  old  sheds  had  not  been  reviewed  for  a  considerable  time. $W WKLV VWDJH WKH RQO\ FRQÂżUPHG tenants  are  Raglan  Seafoods  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  whose  IUHVK ÂżVK DQG WDNHDZD\V EXVLQHVV ZDV gaining  wide  plaudits  ahead  of  the  big  blaze  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  the  Raglan  Coastguard,  which  also  had  space  in  the  old  building.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  believed  Raglan  Seafoods  will  now  be  spread  over  a  larger  area.

Mr  Bax  says  the  council  has  an  agreement  with  Raglan  Seafoods  that  it  will  sign  a  rental  contract.  The  DJUHHPHQW LV FRQÂżGHQWLDO EXW WKH WHUP and  value  of  the  lease  will  be  made  public  after  it  has  been  presented  to  councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  water  &  facilities  committee.

The  Coastguard  will  receive  a  council  grant  to  cover  its  rent,  he  adds.

Meanwhile  Tony  Sly  Pottery  is  understood  to  be  happy  in  its  new  premises  in  the  northern  end  of  the  boat-­building  factory,  where  it  has  recently  been  joined  by  a  coffee  kiosk  which  opens  at  weekends.   Thanks  to  a  ¿UHZDOO WKH IDFWRU\ VXUYLYHG WKH blaze.

In  all  the  council  has  spent  almost  $3  million  at  the  wharf:   it  had  to  get  the  wharf  structure  itself  ship-­shape  before  Livingston  Construction  began  work  on  the  new  building.

All  are  hand-­carved,  the  wood  smoothed  traditionally  with  a  scraper  rather  than  sandpaper  WKHQ ÂżQLVKHG ZLWK RLO DQG LURQ R[LGH Historically  the  tools  represent  two  centuries  of  change,  says  Malcolm,  and  in  practical  terms  many  hours  of  his  own  time.  Often  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  be  carving  as  early  as  6am  on  a  Saturday,  in  the  garden  shed  at  home,  when  the  rest  of  his  family  are  still  sleep.

Carvingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  a  passion  of  Malcolmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  since  he  was  about  12  and  growing  up  in  Howick.  As  well  as  being  fascinated  with  his  grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  huge  collection  of  tools,  he  was  intrigued  by  the  artefacts  he  had  special  access  to  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  courtesy  of  a  kindly  curator  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;downstairs  in  the  archives  of  Auckland  War  Memorial  Museum  where  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  wander  around  with  a  sketch-­pad.  He  recalls  the  excitement  of  opening  up  drawers  there  and  discovering  treasures  such  as  Te  Rauparahaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  tefatefa,  which  he  likens  now  to  Wiremu  Neeraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  taiaha  on  display  in  Raglan  Museum.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  was  never  very  interested  in  the  tourist  side  RI WKLQJV 0DRUL ´ 0DOFROP FRQIHVVHV ,W ZDV WKH tools  and  the  weapons,  and  the  fact  they  were  used  WR ÂżJKW ZKLFK FDSWXUHG KLV LPDJLQDWLRQ Being  able  to  combine  his  love  of  carving  with  Maori  studies  through  Te  Wananga  o  Aotearoa  gives  the  58-­year-­old  great  satisfaction.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  fed  a  passion,â&#x20AC;?  he  says.  The  father  of  seven  concedes  it  can  be  â&#x20AC;&#x153;a  bit  of  a  drag  sometimesâ&#x20AC;?  completing  assignments,  attending  Tuesday  night  tutorials  at  the  wananga  in  7H $ZDPXWX DQG IXOÂżOOLQJ WKH UHTXLUHPHQW IRU weekends  of  associated  study  each  year.  But  against  that  the  course  helps  with  Malcolmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  grasp  of  Maori  language  in  a  school  which  has  a  strong  bilingual  focus.   He  also  sees  his  studies  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;good  for  my  principalshipâ&#x20AC;?:  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  headed  up  the  staff  for  seven  years  now  and  has  spent  26  years  all  up  at  the  school.

For  a  Pakeha  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  a  challenge  gaining  acceptance  on  a  predominantly  Maori  course  but  Malcolm  says  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  able  to  bring  his  own  teaching  skills  to  tutorials  and  help  the  younger  students  academically,  which  has  gone  down  well.
