Celebrating Maori Language Week

This week’s edition Nga- ripo o Whaingaroa The eddies of the waters of Raglan Harbour, Whaingaroa - the place of the long pursuit, home of the stingray.

Thank you to Sean Ellison and Katarina Mataira for the interpretation and translation.

Dear Editor, There is community angst against the Waikato District Councils’ (W.D.C.) Structure Plan for Raglan. Raglan community members are incensed by what is in the plan as well as what is not in the plan.

The structure plan is meant to be a progression of the Community Plan (Raglan Naturally) but unfortunately the process was dragged off the rails.

The Community Plan (Raglan Naturally) was established with a community working group of volunteers and Raglan elected representatives. The group had W.D.C. planning and secretarial support as well as managerial and political oversight. The whole process was initiated to get community consensus on a wide variety of issues to enable W.D.C. to support and fund Raglan development with certainty.

The Raglan Naturally process called for submissions, ideas, and concepts from the community and no idea was rejected as a “dumb” idea but instead all ideas were treated with reverence which created a culture of community inclusiveness. Through a process of analysis, debate, and survey some ideas were filtered from the final plan with a clear community consensus on the end result.

The next stage of the process was to be driven by a community group working on a range of more specific issues. A robust, inclusive, community driven consultative process is the only way to get a clear community mandate from which to include some items or issues in the W.D.C Long Term Council Community Plan or the Raglan Structure Plan.

Just before the election, three years ago, a W.D.C. sanctioned meeting was called in the Raglan Town Hall to initiate public consultation on a review of the Community Plan (Raglan Naturally). The meeting was called to supposedly get a community consensus on whether a review of Raglan Naturally should be undertaken by the Raglan Community Board or driven by members of the Raglan Community who represent a cross section of the community, as the original working group did.

At no time at that meeting were individual opinions or a consensus sought on whether the plan review would be Community Board driven or Community driven. A following report on that meeting in the Chronicle stated it was decided to be Raglan Community Board driven, which means a process handed to Raglan’s political representative and W.D.C. staff. That meeting was a pre-election smoke and mirrors farce and most planning for Raglan since then has been clearly farcical.

In the following Community Plan review process community members were invited to list five issues of concern to them. Unless invited to list 20 or 30 items the results will give few common denominators, if any, and almost no community consensus. All that time, effort , and ratepayers money created little more than an empty vessel.

It does not matter if Raglan has one, two, or three votes on Council. Without clear community consensus the vote is often lost. So it should be. One farce leads to another.

At a recent public meeting organised by Malibu Hamilton the Council planners made it clear the Raglan Structure Plan was a politically driven process. Accountability?

That is why you have elections.

Police look for graffiti clues In fact the front wall of Raglan Four Square would probably have to be repainted, reckoned Ross Jones who was in charge at the store last Monday. He said he’d never seen graffiti “on that scale” before.

Someone set out to paint the town not red but pink and grey in an overnight graffiti splurge early this week. And it’ll take more than turps to get rid of it.

Local constable Raewyn McLachlan was also amazed. It was not only the supermarket but “just about every building ” further up town, she said, on both sides of Bow Street – the vet’s, the church wall on the corner of James Street, the community house, the Plunket rooms and the town hall.

All were painted with “random” words that made no sense, said Raewyn.

But local police reckoned on Monday they had leads to follow and were confident the culprits would be caught. They were

Council relents on Cliff St deadline Opponents of Cliff Street commercial development won the first round of their battle last week when Waikato District Council backed down and doubled the timeframe for submissions on its contentious draft structure plan, following angry outbursts at an earlier public meeting described by one local as “a shambles”.

People now have an extra month to give feedback on variation 15 of the plan which includes a proposal to extend the CBD with its 10 metre-high buildings up to 21 Cliff Street with a through road from 22 Wallis Street.

“Based on the feedback we have received from the Raglan community, we believe it is necessary to extend the closing date for submissions by an extra four weeks,” said chief executive Gavin Ion in Saturday’s press statement.

All written submissions, he added, must now be received by August 27 rather than the previously advertised July 29 date – the minimum 20 working days from when the structure plan was notified – which had residents in an uproar, complaining that the process had been fast-tracked and gave too little time for them to have their say.

Mr Ion also reassured people who have already made a submission that their submissions will still be valid. “There is no need to re-lodge submissions with council,” he said.

Raglan ward councillor and deputy mayor Clint Baddeley backed the decision, agreeing that there were a number of significant issues for Raglan residents to think carefully about.

“The community have asked for more time to consider these issues and we have

willingly given it,” he said. “It’s important we get this right for council, the community and the future.”

Raglan Community Board chairperson Peter Storey, who last week in desperation emailed Mr Ion asking that the legal process be stopped or extended – after the structure plan’s unexpected proposals sent shockwaves through the community – is delighted with the outcome. “We’ve had a good win I think.”

Mr Storey also told the Chronicle that council had “definitely agreed to take that road out” between Cliff and Wallis Streets, and he hinted that the board was prepared to challenge it in the Environment Court if need be.

Two weeks to get Kopua bridge submissions in to Council There’s just two weeks left for Raglan residents to have their say on the design of the new wider, longer and higher Kopua footbridge.

Any submissions on Waikato District Council’s application for five resource consents for the replacement bridge project must be lodged with the council or Environment Waikato by 5pm on Friday, August 13.

While the council’s optimistic it won’t be a Black Friday for the Raglan community after coming up with a final design similar to that of the current bridge, the proposed structure is still almost 40 metres longer – 144 against the current 105 metres – 800mm higher at its centre and more than half a metre wider.

However Whaingaroa Environment Defence secretary and council watchdog John Lawson points out the planned 2.2 metre width comes up short of the 3 metre width set out in council guidelines for a shared walkway/cycleway.

He’s also noted that while jumping from the bridge is mentioned in the applications, it is not clear whether a planned 1.2 metre safety rail will allow the popular summer pastime. “Bombing” from the bridge has been described as a rite-of-passage for Raglan youth.

Bells of prayer Every Wednesday at 6:30pm the bells will be rung from Snt Peters Anglican Church 44 Bow Street to remind us that many are praying at 6:30pm every evening for those that are facing a serious illness in our community.

This is not an uncommon act of compassion for the Raglan community. Forty years ago the bells at the Union Church rang over Raglan to also prompt those in the community to pray for those in need.

Bells have been rung for centuries through out the world as a prophetic act of calling people to intercession.

Webster’s dictionary defines prayer as an act of devotion, a petition to God for a request. Prayer is a “Thought or words” spoken.

When as a community we know someone who needs a miracle we seek and desire hope in kindness for those that we care about.

In response to the sickness of several people in town, a call for spiritual healing, for positive thoughts and prayer was called for on the evening of Wednesday 7th July at the Raglan Town Hall.

Over a hundred and fifty people turned up, sang songs and prayed for those contending with a serious illness.

The ringing of the bells is an opportunity to express as a community a “Word or Thought “, your desire for hope, grace, peace and healing for those in need. So when you hear the bells ring on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm it’s the call for us to all join together in prayer, wherever you are. Snt Peters Anglican Church will also be open on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm to those that would like to receive prayer personally or join others in prayer.

New garden a carrot for troubled kids to mend ways Raglan police are sowing the seeds for local kids in trouble to get down and get dirty – they’re establishing a community garden out the back of the station.

Constable Dean McMillan, better known around town as Deano, says of the initiative: “It’s about kids putting back into the community for (their) wrongdoing.”

The produce, he says, will go to the foodbank, old people’s homes and anywhere else there’s a need.

Surfside and other churches, he adds, will come to the party and supply seeds while Raglan Hire Centre’s coming up with a rotary hoe.

Help and advice from “green-fingered people” would be much appreciated, says Dean, who admits he’s not much of a gardener himself. He says any old tools like

rakes and spades – and even a wheelbarrow – would be gratefully received.

Coincidentally the small Raglan station in Wi Neera Street is also about to expand next door and take over the nowvacant police house which, says Dean, will ease the pressure in the current office from which Raglan’s sergeant and three constables work.

And he reminds the public that police here are always on call, even after hours when a 111 phone call to the central station will be passed on to a Raglan officer.

Reporting incidents sooner rather than later is very important when apprehending offenders, he says.

One offender whose activity they are keen to hear about is a shoplifter who’s targeting businesses about town, and prompting some retailers to upgrade their security. While the alleged offender is

known to police, and they have distributed her photograph to local shop owners, they say they’re powerless to act until someone has hard evidence and reports any theft.

The offender is described as a Maori woman in her mid-30s with long black hair tied up in a bun.

Meanwhile police are investigating a recent incident in which a teenager delivering pamphlets at Raglan West was shot at from a passing car with what is believed to be an airgun. The car was described by the teen, who was unhurt, as a white Mitsubishi with tinted windows and shiny mags.

The local incident comes as the Government has signalled its intention to tighten up on laws around the ownership of high-powered air rifles.

BIKE TALK with Honda Hamilton

USED BIKES

This week we have our first “Bike Talk’ column provided by Peter Bryant from Honda Hamilton. Each month Peter will keep Honda and motorcyle fans up to date with product news, promotions and any local rides! Watch this space each month!

Power Steering is the way of the future for Honda ATV’s.

Honda is now offering Power Steering (EPS) on most of the Honda ATV range that gives riders the confidence and comfort to tackle any job.

How it works: Honda’s Electric Power Steering (EPS) system features sophisticated torque sensors which monitor steering torque and vehicle speed to adjust the levels of steering assist and feel.

When stopped or at low speeds, it requires light steering effort, and as speeds increase, the amount of assist is adjusted to provide the appropriate level of feedback.

An ATV with this Honda exclusive technology is easier to maneuver through rough terrain, rocks, washes, and ruts while at the same time, reducing rider fatigue.

Honda’s EPS system is progressive and self centres. It not only lowers steering effort but also reduces kick backs over rough / rocky terrain (Safer).

Peter Br yant If you have ever suffered from sore shoulders or back from riding your ATV this Honda Hamilton Director is the answer. Once you have tried it you will 10-14 Willoughby Street, never go back. After all, you would never buy a Hamilton. car these days without power steering.

ADVERTORIAL

Global Works visits Raglan again Global Works is a community service based organization which brings high school students from the United States to the town of Raglan for one week. This year fourteen students participated in service and education programs at Kaiwhenua Organics, Liz and Rick’s farm, Oram Park food forest, Xtreme Waste, Peggy Oki’s Origami whale project and a beach clean-up on Ngarunui Beach.

This year Global Works continued their work at Oram Park and added to the food forest for the entire community to enjoy.

Two new gardens were formed. This task consisted of a few steps including staking the area, digging up the grass, laying down cardboard, shoveling the mulch into the area, and lastly planting fruit trees. Global works worked together as a team along with many members of the community to create an environment that benefits the town of Raglan.

Workers from Xtreme Waste provided us with the materials needed and also helped with the work. Global Works completed a fruit forest that they hope will benefit the Raglan community for many years to come.

Global Works also learned about how important marine life is to the society of New Zealand, and the Global Works team spent some of its time to help preserve it.

On the Ngarunui Beach the group picked up stray rubbish and put it into plastic sacks.

The trash is harmful to the environment so it was important to spend our time sweeping the beach. If Global Works neglected to participate in this community service project, mammals of the ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean and Tazman Sea would be increasingly endangered. Global Works also participated in the origami whales project founded by Peggy Oki to increase awareness and save the whales. Global Works has taken part in a project that has been completed around the world, and all of our efforts will potentially stop the mass slaughter of marine wildlife.

Another day was spent at Xtreme Waste, where the group toured the facility and were educated on the intricate process and all the potential things that can be reused. In addition to the education about recycling

Global Works also participated in making rat traps. The rat traps are essential because rats are a threat to wood pigeons. Wood pigeons are needed in New Zealand’s environment because they are the only birds that can consume the larger nuts which enables the nuts to be replanted elsewhere. The work at Xtreme Waste is highly admirable and people should use Xtreme Waste as a role model on how to dispose of products today, reducing the amount of stuff consumed.

Global Works also visited two local farms earlier this week, Kai Whenua and Liz and Rick’s farm. The group learned about techniques of permaculture and organic farming. At Kai Whenua, Global Works planted a field of strawberries, helped with making a compost pile, and learned about packing their salad. They were able to use their newfound knowledge about compost at Liz and Rick’s farm the next day. There, Global Works was able to make another compost pile. The group was also taken on a tour of the farm where they learned about permaculture.

Along the way, Global Works was able to meet some amazing people. Global Works want to

thank them for not only their time helping the students learn new things but also their outstanding effort in bettering the planet by helping their community. The students will be able to take their newly acquired knowledge with them wherever they choose to go in life.

Opinion: Is Seabed mining back on the menu?

With the National Party backing down on exploring the conservation estate for minerals to be considered for extraction/ exploitation, a few suggestions were announced as possible alternatives to mining our national parks. Iron ore was suggested by the minister Mr Gerry Brownlee as being a possible revenue earner for New Zealand and yes he is talking about seabed mining and yes he is talking about the West Coast of the North Island.

There are currently a group of powerful and not so powerful companies vying for the right and have finances to begin extracting this increasingly valuable resource.

They have already begun attempting to persuade the relevant authorities that there is

no life on the seabed at 30 plus metres depth.

They are also in the process of convincing them that mining, if allowed to proceed will have minimal environmental impact and could result in a new steel mill for New Zealand.

Dear Editor Over the past months a number of people have approached me with their concerns about the Waikato District Council and the Raglan Community Board.

These same people also urged me to stand for Council or the Board. I have sat in on some Community Board meetings and attended parts of Council meetings. After seeing the low productivity of these meetings I have decided not to stand.

Rodger Gallagher

Kiwis Against Seabed Mining are still here and still functioning (just). We are having our AGM this Sunday at the Community House in Bow Street. Â We have a guest speaker who will be able to answer your questions about where the iron ore seabed mining issue stands right now and who the companies are who are involved and/or want to be involved in mining our precious coastal region.

Come along be informed, get involved.
