It was a vintage occasion last Saturday for Raglan centenarian Peter Green – and he went to it in vintage style.

A Model T Ford drove him from his Cliff Street home around the town and past Raglan’s new museum, before stopping at St Peter’s parish hall where a big afternoon party had been arranged to celebrate his milestone. But the Model T still wasn’t quite as vintage as Peter, being a mere 96 years old.

“It (the Model T) was a surprise for me and for everyone,” said Peter whose son had arranged the drive through a friend.

Peter told the Chronicle it was a “marvellous” day and that he was overwhelmed by the sheer joy and pleasure of it all.

He’d invited a number of Raglan people to share his shindig and his family had invited 70 to 80 more from all over the country, including his grand-daughter from Christchurch.

Peter was “very humbled” by it all, he said.

“And I’m not 100 years old,” he insisted. “I’m 100 years young.”

Peter started out as a car painter in Frankton, making quite a name for himself before developing a workshop and factory which later evolved through one of his sons as local export success story Greens Industries.

Museum blessed before the rush A prized taiaha or traditional Maori weapon belonging to Ngati Mahanga ancestors last century was among taonga or treasures blessed at an early morning ceremony last Saturday ahead of a community open day at Raglan’s new million-dollar museum.

It was handed by descendants of Wiremu Neera Te Awaitaia to Raglan Museum & District Society president Pat Day, who placed and locked it in a glass cabinet for safekeeping.

Kaumatua Russell Riki led the blessing of the museum and its “sacred� artefacts, supported by about 50 local residents gathered at the site on Wainui Road.

Raglan resident and academic Angeline Pat Day and a prized taiaha - image S. Mackenzie Opening Ceremony - image S. Mackenzie Greensill – daughter of the late Eva Rickard – described the new museum as a “great facility�, The museum attracted 700 visitors through its doors for a free lookwhile ward councillor Clint Baddeley acknowledged in his speech around on Saturday. From last Sunday, a fee of $2 for adults and $1 for “the long journey� and the support it had taken to bring the project children has been put in place. to fruition.

Regional council called on to help pay for Whaanga Coast sewage system A recommendation at the Raglan Community Board meeting last week was picked up by ward councillor Clint Baddeley who made it clear he was taking the issue forward to both Waikato District Council and the regional council with which he had an ongoing dialogue.

Board member Barry Ashby, in a report to the community board, said that while the sewage disposal was a local issue – with septic tanks now needing replacement by a costly sewerage system to prevent ongoing pollution of the foreshore – it was also a national requirement for the council to clean up its act as the town’s three point breaks were listed in the new NZ Coastal Policy Statement.

The nationally important breaks under the Resource Management Act are Manu and Whale Bays and Indicators. “A regional rate to help with this Whaanga Coast wastewater project is as important as the financial support for cleaning up Lake Taupo,� Barry insisted.

The regional council was taxing the Raglan community to clean up Lake Taupo, he said, so it, along with the NZ Government should help with funding the clean-up of Raglan’s internationally famous surf site.

Barry also told the Chronicle this week that the regional council’s readiness to go ahead and fund the controversial velodrome at Cambridge was “ridiculous� when it was on private land and could not be reached by public transport – and 60 percent of the local population didn’t want it – whereas Raglan’s natural coastline was “used extensively for surfing events on a world scale�.

Waikato Regional Council is being asked to help foot the bill for a new wastewater disposal system for Whale Bay and the Whaanga Coast – a bill that otherwise could cost residents $20,000 each and potentially cause some to lose their homes.

of Northern England, eating, chatting and driving each other crazy. Starring Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon and Claire Keelan, The Trip is said to be ‘side-splittingly funny’ (NY Times; - ‘you’ll be glad you saw it’ (Sunday Star). Showing in Raglan at the Old School Arts Centre on Saturday 19 November at 8.30pm and Sunday 20 November at 5.30pm – note the new summer time slots.

Then one for the diary – another of the very popular PechaKucha evenings is coming up on 26 November.

While the usual fascinating mix of presenters is building, organiser Rodger Gallagher would still be interested in hearing from anyone else with something interesting to tell – for more information about PechKucha go to http://www.pecha-kucha.org/ Judith Collins

Candidates preach what they’d practise if voted in There was scarcely a spare pew in the curtained-off front half of the church and the congregated 60 or so Raglan residents heard from seven speakers all of whom, according to the minister’s husband, would make “great preachers.”

But there was nothing even faintly religious about this meeting in the Raglan Union Church: six of the speakers were candidates in this month’s general election, the seventh was there to espouse Conservative Party policies and the cleric’s husband, Alan Vink, was the convener who made sure there was no unseemly political stoush in a place of worship.

And there wasn’t, thanks to a strict format which gave each speaker two minutes to describe their vision for a brighter and better New Zealand and a minute or so at the end to sum up what they stood for. In between there was a question time through the chair and Vink, coincidentally deputy chairman of the Raglan Community Board, moved quickly any time any semblance of a lively exchange threatened.

Shane Ardern – the sitting MP in the National stronghold of Taranaki-King Country, in which the likes of Raglan seem to have been roped in merely to make up the numbers – described the electorate as “bigger than the state of Israel and often more hostile”. But there didn’t seem much hostility around last Wednesday, with little audience reaction other than polite clapping for sentiments they agreed with.

About the only issue that did bring out a strong divergence of opinion among the candidates was National’s flagged intention to sell off state assets. Labour candidate and parliamentary veteran Rick Barker said National simply hadn’t learnt and ownership of assets already owned by New Zealanders would go offshore to interests which would demand a 10 percent return.

But Ardern argued the state would still own the assets as National was proposing only a maximum 49 percent selldown, and

that to revive the country’s economy “we have to have money”.

Labour’s sitting MP in the Maori seat of Hauraki-Waikato, Nanaia Mahuta, saw a selloff as a short-term fix serving absolutely no benefit, while her old rival – and Raglan resident – Angeline Greensill stressed her new Mana Party was strongly opposed to asset sales. She pointed out even the old Raglan Post Office (its building now the Waikato District Council offices) had been a casualty of such policies when “there are other ways to raise money”.

The farmer who replaces Greensill this time around as Maori Party candidate, Tau Mataki, took a bob-each-way line, saying while the party was against the sale of state assets “we would not stand in the way of any tribe keen to invest”, while the Conservatives’ Brian Dobbs – also a farmer – agreed only with the selloff of Landcorp.

Many candidate comments related to other country-wide issues like the increasing poverty gap in New Zealand, child abuse, taxation inequities that favoured the rich, how best to try to create jobs – where there was mention of Otorohanga’s zero youth unemployment and Raglan’s own Xtreme Waste enterprise – and lifting Kiwis’ skill levels.

Some speakers brought social issues back to a personal level: The Greens’ new candidate for Taranaki-King Country, 23year-old one-time Raglanite Robert Moore, said he was struggling to find a job after five years at Waikato University while Tau Mataki told of social challenges within his own whanau.

Meanwhile the main rivals for the Taranaki-King Country seat each had a suspiciously simplistic solution for the country’s lack of jobs. Shane Ardern claimed all unemployment would go if every farm in the country was freed up to earn another $500,000 a year, while Rick Barker saw the answer as a massive investment in research and development programmes.

Three hurt in Raglan head-on One of three people injured in a headon collision last week, on SH23 between Lorenzen Bay and Manukau Roads, remained in Waikato Hospital early this week.

Two of the three were from Raglan and the third was from Hamilton, says Constable Kevin Bailey, who was at the Tuesday afternoon scene along with local fire and ambulance services.

Two men travelling out of Raglan in a silver Subaru station-wagon suffered moderate injuries and the driver had to be cut from the wreckage.

A woman travelling alone towards the town in a gunmetal grey Toyota hatchback escaped with minor injuries.

Police say the vehicle coming into Raglan appeared to have crossed the centreline and both cars were write-offs.

TV crew goes to church too A surprise awaited parliamentary hopefuls and voters who turned up for last week’s candidates forum at the Raglan Union Church – a TVNZ camera crew had set up in the back pew to record the event. But there’d been no tipoff about a noisy protest over oil drilling or about potential blasphemy in a house of God: TVNZ was there because of Maori Television’s interest in the expected tight tussle for the Hauraki –Waikato seat, where Raglan’s Angeline Greensill has now twice lost out narrowly to Labour’s Nanaia Mahuta. There’s a new twist this year as Greensill has switched to the Mana Party and there’s a third candidate in the Maori Party’s Tau Mataki.

On an issue closer to home, a question on seabed mining and “why the Government has allowed permits to its heart’s content” brought another mixed response. Ardern was emphatic “there is no mining here” and defended National’s policy of referring all major projects impacting on the environment direct to the Environment Court, but Barker urged a streamlining of the Resource Management Act to “give everyone the right to have a say, everyone’s a guardian of the land”.

The Greens’ Moore saw it as a “very Green issue” and condemned the Sinosteel permit for exploration at Ruapuke, while Angeline Greensill said the Mana Party also opposed seabed mining. Big commercial interests saw only wealth in the seabed and “the people are not getting their say”.

All-in-all it was an eclectic meeting, even if it did succeed in challenging the old notion that the church and politics don’t mix.

Boaties urged to stick to the rules and stay safe over summer Waikato Regional Council is reminding boaties they may face instant fines of up to $200 if they fail to follow rules aimed at keeping them and other water users safe over summer.

“Nationally, about 30 people more have drowned so far this year compared to all of last year,” said navigation safety programme manager Nicole Botherway.

“Over summer, we are planning to have a very strong focus in the Waikato on enforcing rules designed to protect water users, both on freshwater and at sea.”

Mrs Botherway, who noted six recent deaths in the Waikato of people not wearing lifejackets, said some of the key safety rules that should be followed included: • Having enough lifejackets on board for everyone

•

•

Using an observer when towing so the skipper can drive the boat safely

Keeping speed to five knots or less around others vessels and water users The council has put a lot of effort into publicising the rules in recent years and surveys now show a good awareness in the region about them, Mrs Botherway added.

“At times in the past we may have warned people when we’ve seen them breaching rules. But, given the level of awareness we’ve now confirmed, we believe it’s important now to remind people they can be fined up to $200 for safety rule breaches.

“Ultimately, we want all people using boats on waterways and the ocean to be safe. All boaties can make a big contribution to this goal by following the simple safety rules we have put in place.”

Councillor’s Column As the Christmas and New Year period approaches the last two months have been a busy time at Council.

The District Council has undertaken a Rates Review which will be released for consultation shortly.

Also, by the time you read this column you may have received your property valuations that were last done in July 2008.

Overall the Waikato district is now worth $17.3 billion.

There has been an average decrease in capital value of 13.43%. The greatest decrease is 25.48% on dairy farms. Raglan has the least decrease at about 6% on residential properties. Unfortunately for ratepayers this does not mean a decrease in rates. In fact if you are below the average of 13.43% you are likely to pay more. I am certain there will be more discussion to be had about rates in coming months.

On a positive note, I had an opportunity to co-host an economic summit at the Genesis Huntly power site. A number of great motivational speakers were involved who shared their perspective on “People, Energy, Economy”. This was the first time that the District Council has taken the initiative with such an event and it was hugely successful. Council has gained many ideas on how we can improve our engagement with key industries in our expanded district.

Council has just received an unqualified audit report from Audit NZ which, given the inclusion of part of the old Franklin District, was a huge undertaking.

Council has also begun the process of reviewing its Long Term Plan (LTP) - a three-yearly requirement.

This is an opportunity to reevaluate priorities for the future. The community board is involved in this process and submissions will be sought from the general public.

An issue that has been facing Council for some time is the matter of commuter rail between Hamilton and Auckland. I have long espoused this concept but felt strongly that council must have government support.

The fact is that government does not support a commuter rail system between the two cities, and until they do (by committing to the electrification of the rail line) I have difficulty in supporting the investment that we as ratepayers would have to make.

Some of you will know from your Waikato Regional Council rates bill that there is now provision for a West Coast Zone Payment. This is to provide that regional body with funding to enable works within their catchment including water quality, erosion and bio-security. I sit on the West Coast Liaison Subcommittee and I would be interested in relevant feedback from you.

Another area where your opinion would be appreciated relates to the preparation of a Council policy on the fluoridation of water in regard to the management of tooth decay. I am fully aware that there are differing opinions from various groups – hence the request for feedback. I would value your written submissions.

Email is fine (see below).

Council will be deciding this week whether to have separate Māori Wards. It is my view that a poll should be taken as each current Ward in the District may have a different view.

Council has a large list of projects in Raglan covering our reserves, water, wastewater and roading over the next few years. If you have a specific interest in a project you are welcome to contact me with suggestions and questions.

As you are no doubt aware, some large Raglan projects are completed – the fantastic new footbridge is receiving many compliments. I would like to thank those people who have given only positive feedback.

Thanks for your support. The bridge lighting makes an evening visit to Marine Parade something we should all do – it looks fantastic. The museum and information centre is another long awaited Raglan project which had a great launch recently. After a number of setbacks we are all waiting now for the commencement of the replacement wharf building in the New Year.

If you would like to discuss council issues with me please contact me through the council office on 8258129 or my mobile phone 021 155 3778 or email me clint.baddeley@waidc.govt.nz I wish you all a great Christmas and a happy New Year.

Windfall from wind farm grants Over $80,000 has been granted to community development projects surrounding the Te Uku wind farm.

“The eight projects supported by this funding will deliver a lasting benefit to the communities of Te Uku, Waitetuna and Te Mata” says Robert Batters, Meridian Energy’s representative on the Te Uku wind farm fund panel.

“The fund was created to support local initiatives after the Te Uku wind farm was commissioned, and we’re thrilled to assist these great initiatives,” says Robert.

The Whaingaroa Toy Library received $2,000 from the fund to purchase some new toys.

“Our toy stocks were getting a little worn and dated, so this is a major boost,” says Charlotte Hartstone, Chairperson of the Whaingaroa Toy Library. “We put a lot of thought and care into selecting educational toys that can be used by all the children in our community, and the grant from Meridian means we can now offer this service to more families” says Charlotte.

Waitetuna School received almost $17,000 to upgrade their school and community sports facilities.

“These facilities are a really important part of keeping our community active,” says Joanne Reiri, Principal of Waitetuna School. “Local families use the sporting grounds after school and on the weekends, so it’s not just for the school. The funds will go towards a new hard-court area, skateboard ramps, basketball goals, a pool cover and a trampoline” says Joanne.

To find out more about the fund, including how and when to apply, call 0800 838 589.

RAGLAN Chronicle 7

The Great One Day Raglan Arts SaleNovember 20th at the Old School Locals and visitors to Raglan are welcome to join us on November 20th at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre where the local artists will be displaying and selling their art wares from 10.00 a.m until 3.00.

Paintings, clay work, cards, fabric art, and many other artifacts will be available for sale, with nothing over $50, and many objects considerably less than $50.

This is a great opportunity for our community to support and meet with our local artists and to talk with them about their work and to purchase some arts gifts for friends and family.

If you are an artist and interested in securing a space for the arts sale, please contact Jacqueline or Katja at the Old School to book a table for display.

We are hoping for a large and enthusiastic crowd to come and share in our passion for the arts.

Raglan Area School Swim Club The club is open to everyone in Raglan and our surrounding districts…. Swimming lessons have started and this is Sean’s view: I have always enjoyed swimming but when I heard about the swimming lessons at the school I wasn’t sure about joining. It didn’t take long for my Mum to convince me to jump on board with some of my friends who had already signed up. Once I had signed up I knew there was no going back. I had to do this.

I was at the pool straight after school. Our swimming instructor Steve let us in and told us all to get changed. After we had finished getting changed he told us he would check our swimming level and split us into groups according to how well we could swim. First he started with the smaller kids and worked his way up to my age group. Once he had seen what we could do he told us to hop out and he would see us again tomorrow.

We all turned up the next day and got changed (by the way swimming is on Thursday and Friday) he told us what groups we

New enrollments will be accepted at any time. The next school holiday programme runs from 12 Jan to 3rd Feb 2012 (on Thursdays and Fridays).

The programme is open to both adults and children.

For more information contact Steve on 021 0698242

Bowls ‘fours’ champions We have completed another of our Championship events for this our 90th season, that being our Championship Fours. The weather was a bit ‘jackets on...jackets off’ stuff, but no real heavy rain to stop play.

Teams were ‘drawn’ from 16 players making four teams. Being less than six teams the Round Robin system of play was used, and so the competition was able to be completed in one day. Some games were very close indeed, others weren’t so close, but as the saying goes ‘it isn’t over till the last bowls stops rolling’! It is true ! One should never give up trying.

Once each team had played all the other teams, the results were sorted. Winners, with three wins, were Ross Turner, Mouse Stephens, Les Soanes and Ian Barnard. Second, with two wins, were Denny Robertson, Bill Bond, Heather Dalbeth, and Margaret Mead. Third was T Green, Les Schlager, Jim Ardern and Beti Broome. Congratulations to you all.

Our green played very well indeed, to the point where we have been granted the honour to host the Waikato Centre’s Open Grade Men’s Pairs here on Saturday 19th November. Come on down to watch these top players in action...you won’t be disappointed, I’m sure.

Also on Saturday 19th we hold our ‘Handicap Singles’ event at 9am, lots of challenges with this game. Good luck to all competitors.

Dear Editor On behalf of the Raglan Museum Society I would like to thank the Raglan Volunteer Fire Brigade for their wonderful efforts in not only carrying our cabinets to the new museum but also lifting many of them up to the first floor.

I am also delighted to report that there were a little over 700 visitors to the museum on last Saturday, our opening day.

Patrick Day, Raglan Dear Editor We think the new Info Centre and Museum building look great.

And the footbridge is spectacular at night. What a great idea to put lights on it.

The plans are finalized for the Wharf, we hear, so we should see some progress there soon.

It will give us, along with other older locals, the opportunity to check on progress of another addition to town.

All very exciting.

Given the harsh economic times globally, I think Raglan has done very well in recent years.

I would like to add our thanks to all those responsible for getting these projects on the way. They certainly enhance our town.

I haven’t seen any mention of Councilor Baddeley or the Council in other letters of thanks. We are all quick to complain about council but very rarely do we see a note of appreciation.

I understand he has had a huge input in finding the funding and pushing through the required legal processes.

So for whatever you did and the time it took, (begged, pleaded, cajoled smoozed or even bribed), a huge thank you Mr Baddeley for ensuring the funding was forthcoming.

Judging by the latest Chronicle letters, it seems your next big project is a pothole down town somewhere. Good luck with that!

Neil & Sue Gilshnan, Raglan

were in and gave us different colored swimming caps. I wasn’t so sure about them so I asked Steve what they were for and he told me that they told us what group we were in - Steve also told me that our goal is to get a red cap but before that we had to pass blue, yellow and orange. After red there is only one more cap which is black and that is for the best swimmers only.

I think that our swimming instructor Steve is a really nice man who doesn’t push us too hard but encourages us to do our best. He teaches us the proper techniques for doing freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and is even trying to teach us how to do butterfly. In all I think that swimming lessons are really good and teach us heaps of great stuff.

Dear Editor I just attended and helped out at my first Raglan SewVember workshop and it was amazing.

Heaps of people working away at creating the most fabulous items - it was so inspiring and incredibly well organised.

Everything was being made out of scraps of fabric, old buttons, bits of this and bits of that and every single thing produced was unique, hand crafted and yes you got it Up Cycled.

It was also a gathering of people, chatting, sharing ideas, socialising, so much better than going to a shop to buy something. The gifts made here all have a story to go with them and are made with such care, thought and attention.

I just can’t wait to go back and get inspired some more. I will be buying myself a sewing machine and yes it will be a second hand one, so excited.

When you think about the fact that 3.4 million tonnes of waste are delivered to landfills in NZ each year, it is good to see at least in Raglan there are quite a few people who are keen to reduce their consumption of shop bought goods this year. Whilst we have excellent recycling rates in our awesome town, the rate at which we consume is ultimately a factor in sustainable development.

So my suggestion - if you can find time to go along to a Sew – Vember Workshop, you will not be disappointed, this is the place to go and make some fabulous pressies – (Thursdays 9 -3 in St. Peters Hall on Stewart St.) Lindsey Turner, Waitetuna

SMART BOX

WEL NETWORKS IS INSTALLING STATE-OF-THE-ART 'SMART BOXES' AT ALL PROPERTIES WITHIN THE AREA INDICATED ON THIS MAP. This rollout â&#x20AC;&#x201C; called the WELconnect programme â&#x20AC;&#x201C; involves installing a new Smart Box at your property and a wireless communications network throughout the Waikato region.

Having this information will help WEL manage electricity throughout our network more efficiently.

Your Smart Box and the new wireless network â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;talk to each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to provide WEL a complete picture about how our customers use electricity.

www.welconnect.co.nz

WEL IS MODERNISING YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICITY NETWORK

The WELconnect programme will benefit you by allowing WEL to:

â&#x20AC;˘ Restore power outages faster than ever before

â&#x20AC;˘ Minimise power spikes and dimming, thus improving power quality

â&#x20AC;˘ Manage power in a way that helps minimise price rises in the long-term WEL will install Smart Boxes on properties in the Raglan area between 21 November and 28 February (with a break over Christmas).

Your Smart Box will either replace or be installed next to your current electricity meter and looks very similar. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to note, there is no cost to you.

For more info, visit www.WELconnect.co.nz or phone 0800 800 935

Installing your Smart Box is part of WELâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programme of modernising your local electricity network, which began in 2005.

This modernisation programme has included upgrading local substations, constructing the new Raglan substation, as well as undergrounding, upgrading and constructing electricity lines.

Te Uku Wind Farm Grants available $20,000 is available to support community initiatives that directly benefit the Te Uku, Waitetuna and Te Mata communities.

Applications are welcome from projects that:
