Councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Column As  we  move  into  Daylight  Saving  time,  it  is  great  to  think  that  summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  on  the  way.   Council  will  be  taking  advantage  of  the  better  weather  to  reseal  over  twenty  of  Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  roads  as  part  of  the  2012/2013  reseal  programme.   Some  preparation  work  has  already  been  carried  out  in  Bow  Street  and  Cliff  Street  and  other  parts  of  town.   Council  will  also  be  repairing  more  of  our  broken   footpaths.   Breakage  and  damage  is  usually  caused  by  heavy  trucks,  delivery  vehicles  and  cars  driving  over   footpaths,  as  well  as  parking  on  the  paths.    Footpaths  that  are  damaged  and  obstructed  by  this  kind  of  activity  are  a  constant  problem  especially  for  parents  with  little  ones  in  strollers,  disabled  and  elderly  people  in  mobility  scooters  and  wheelchairs  and  kids  making  their  way  to  and  from  school  along  the  footpaths.

It  is  pleasing  to  see  that  the  new  BMX  track  at  Te  Kopua  is  well  underway.   This  community  project  will  add  to  the  success  of  the  skatepark  that  is  providing  enjoyment  for  young  locals  and  visitors  alike.   The  Raglan  Coastal  Reserves  Advisory  Committee  would  also  like  to  see  some  updated  equipment  in  the  play  area  at  Te  Kopua  as  well.

The  newly  appointed  Beach  Rangers  will  be  meeting  with  Council  Animal  Control  this  week  to  gain  a  clear  understanding  of  the  rules  around  dogs  at  the  beach.   This  is  an  issue  that  results  in  a  lot  of  complaints  from  beach-­users.

As  always,  we  need  to  remember  that  Waikato  District  Council  has  more  than  Raglan  to  deal  with.   Currently  in  front  of  council  are: Â&#x2021; KRXVLQJ DQG LQGXVWULDO JURZWK LQ WKH Pokeno  and  Horotiu  areas Â&#x2021; FRQWLQXHG GHYHORSPHQW RI WKH MRLQW management  with  Waikato  Tainui  regarding  the  Waikato  River  and  ongoing  relationships Â&#x2021; WKH GHYHORSPHQW RI D PHPRUDQGXP RI understanding  with  Ngati  Maahanga  with  which  I  am  directly  involved Â&#x2021; WKH GHYHORSPHQW RI D GLVWULFW ZLGH heritage  strategy  commencing  with  updating  the  Waikato  District  Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Heritage  Policy,  and  reviewing  the  Franklin  District  Heritage  strategy.

Council  is  working  with  Community  Board  Chairs  and  Community  Committee  members  to  develop  better  ways  of  engaging  in  council  and  community  issues.   Starting  in  November  committee  chairs  (or  their  nominees)  will  have  speaking  rights  at  Council  meetings  and  workshops  which  hopefully  will  give  a  better  understanding  of  how  local  government  can  meet  local  needs.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  forget  the  Raglan  Community  Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Best  Garden  Competition  is  underway.   Information  is  DYDLODEOH IURP WKH &RXQFLO 2IÂżFH LQ %RZ 6WUHHW This  is  always  a  great  event  as  there  are  some  keen  and  capable  gardeners  in  our  community.

Congratulations  to  the  Raglan  Coastguard  for  their  recent  accolade  for  service  to  the  community.   I  am  in  complete  support  of  their  tenancy  at  the  wharf  -­  as  is  the  Council.   It  is  also  good  to  see  Soul  shoes  relocating  to  the  wharf  which  seems  to  be  developing  into  something  of  an  iconic  Raglan  venue.   Great  timing  with  summer  just  around  the  corner.

Council  staff  tell  me  there  is  still  a  lot  of  interest  in  the  two  remaining  tenancies.

In  closing  if  last  weekend  is  any  indication  -­  the  busy  season  is  on  us,  lean  back  and  enjoy  the  lovely  town  you  live  in.

Local barista full of beans at Raglan Roastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion

Raglan  Roast  is  spreading  far  and  wide  which  means  local  barista  Bobo  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  whose  face  is  familiar  both  at  Volcom  Laneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hole-­in-­the-­wall  and  Te  Uku  5RDVW 2IÂżFH Âą LV QRZ VHULRXVO\ UXVKHG RII KLV IHHW VXSSO\LQJ coffee  rather  than  coffees.

Barista turned barosta: Bobo with the roaster thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupying much of his time these days as Raglan Roastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reach spreads southwards.

But  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  happy  to  be  roasting,  Bobo  told  the  Chronicle  last  week,  and  the  large  new  Wellington  coffee  outlet  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  complete  with  comfy  couches  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  which  opened  in  Abel  Smith  Street  off  the  top  of  Cuba  Street  about  10  weeks  ago  with  D VWHDG\ Ă&#x20AC;RZ RI EXVLQHVV LV QRZ â&#x20AC;&#x153;just  swallowing  it  (coffee)  upâ&#x20AC;?,  he  reckons.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  great  student  vibe  there,  he  adds,  and  supplying  Raglan  Roast  in  the  capital  at  a  reasonable  SULFH LV GHÂżQLWHO\ ÂłD JRRG WKLQJ´ So  good  that  just  last  week  the  company  took  a  leap  of  faith  across  Cook  Strait  and  opened  yet  DQRWKHU FRIIHH VSRW LQ D ÂłYHU\ Ă&#x20AC;DVK little  placeâ&#x20AC;?  at  Tahunanui  outside  of  Nelson.   Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  dedicated  â&#x20AC;&#x153;surf  loungeâ&#x20AC;?  cafe  in  a  corner  of  Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  RQO\ NLWHVXUÂżQJ VWRUH And  while  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  early  days  â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyone  likes  the  coffee  ...  the  taste  (of  Raglan  Roast)â&#x20AC;?,  enthused  Bobo  who  was  busy  when  the  Chronicle  called  getting  still  more  of Â

the  stuff  ready  to  send  southwards.

Beautiful  blue  skies  and  a  beachy  feel  have  contributed  to  positive  feedback  at  the  newly  opened  Tahunanui  spot,  he  says.

Bobo,  whose  rarely  heard  real  name  is  Robert  ten  Broek,  is  not  working  out  front  of  the  two  local  cafes  so  much  these  days.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;My  dream  is  to  roast  coffee,â&#x20AC;?  he  says  simply,  likening  the  industry  to  that  of  wines  but  in  which  different  beans  rather  than  grapes  are  grown  DQG Ă&#x20AC;DYRXUV PL[HG WR JHW WKH EHVW WDVWH DQG WH[WXUH And  just  as  there  is  wine-­tasting  there  is  coffee-­tasting,  but  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;cuppingâ&#x20AC;?  and  indulged  in  from  time  to  time  at  trade  fairs  and  the  like.  Bobo,  33,  has  become  quite  D FRIIHH H[SHUW RYHU WKH \HDUV DW Volcom  Lane  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  where  he  and  local  businessman  Tony  Bruce  set  up  the  community-­based  Raglan  Roast  company  back  in  1998  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  now  supplies  three  well-­established  blends  to  coffee-­lovers,  all  of  which  depend  on  the  industrial  roasting  machine  out  the  back  of  the  dimly  lit  hole-­in-­the-­wall.

Brown  Lightning  is  Raglan  Roastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  signature  espresso  blend,  Mocha  Java  its  classic  blend  with  â&#x20AC;&#x153;not  so  much  caffeineâ&#x20AC;?  and Â

DaGanic  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  probably  the  mildest  of  the  three  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  the  100  percent  fair  trade  organic  roast.

Raglan  Roast  also  donates  into  WKH 1H[W *HQHUDWLRQ &RIIHH )XQG an  initiative  administered  by  Trade  Aid  which  helps  farmers  globally  to  create  bigger  harvests  and  better  coffee  for  the  industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  future.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  as  roasters  probably  get  the  ELJJHVW FXW ´ %RER H[SODLQV VR LWÂśV a  way  of  giving  back.

Now  as  a  dedicated  roaster  himself,  Boboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  lightheartedly  shed  his  barista  title  and  come  up  with  the  term  barosta  to  describe  what  he  does  for  a  living.   But  Tonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  legendâ&#x20AC;?  behind  Raglan  Roast,  he  insists,  an  appellation  Tony  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  dispute  because  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  away  down-­ country  â&#x20AC;&#x153;making  it  happenâ&#x20AC;?  by  opening  and  marketing  new  spaces  in  which  to  grow  the  company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  just  hang  out  here  (Raglan)  and  do  roasting,â&#x20AC;?  Bobo  reckons  of  the  business  the  pair  have  built  up.  He  also  points  out  that  Raglan  Roast  now  not  only  includes  two  other  local  partners  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  Andrew  McGregor  and  John  Clapham  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  but  has  also  made  several  jobs  available  and  created  a  lot  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;social  capitalâ&#x20AC;?  or  goodwill  within  the  community.  Edith  Symes

Movie Preview: Your Sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sister

by Susan Guenther A  humorous  twisting  tale  of  romantic  mayhem  emerges  from  heartache  and  grief,  forming  the  premise  of  this  dramatic  comedy.

Jack  (Mark  Duplass),  still  struggling  with  the  emotional  sorrow  of  his  brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  death  a  year  before,  is  offered  a  time  of  solace  and  solitude.  His  best  friend,  Iris  (Emily  Blunt)  offers  Jack  the  use  of  her  familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  remote  island  cabin.

But  this  refuge  from  the  world  is  interrupted  by  Hannah  (Rosemarie  DeWitt),  Irisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  sister,  herself  seeking  shelter  from  the  emotional  turmoil  of  an  abruptly  ended  seven-­year  relationship.  Not  XQH[SHFWHGO\ IRU WKH YLHZHU WKH\ ÂżQG VRODFH LQ HDFK otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  unexpected  presence.  Sibling  rivalry  then  complicates  the  tale  as  Iris  herself  suddenly  arrives  at  the  cabin.

Over  the  space  of  a  few  days  in  this  isolated  retreat  off  the  coast  of  Washington  State  an  emotional  tale  of  interweaving  relationships  is  played  out.   The  three  main  characters  are  amusing,  expressive  and  revealing  in  all  their  awkwardness  and  personal  insecurities. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Your  Sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  is  an  entertaining  comedy  about  the  convoluted  relationships  between  a  man,  his  best  friend  and  his  best  friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  sister.

Opinion: Celebrities

by Ian McKissack This  business  of  celebrities  is  an  interesting  one  though  at  times  makes  me  wonder  just  where  civilization  is  going.  The  problem  is  that  we  are  in  danger  of  celebrating  people  who  havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  achieved  a  great  deal  for  the  world  except  getting  well  known  and  having  a  fair  amount  of  money  in  the  bank.  Kim  Dotcom  seems  to  be  making  himself  into  a  celebrity  by  looking  like  a  very  large  teddy  bear,  and  having  made  a  pot  of  gold  as  some  sort  of  internet  buccaneer.  ,Q KLV WHHQ \HDUV KH DSSHDUV WR KDYH EHJXQ WR ÂżQG ways  to  walk  a  tightrope  over  what  is  strictly  legal,  and  had  some  brushes  with  the  law.  Despite  this  rather  dubious  background  he  seems  to  be  regarded  quite  positively,  possibly  because  he  has  taken  John  %DQNV RQ $OVR EHFDXVH KH KDV EHDXWLIXO ZLIH ÂżYH children,  an  impressive  home  and  has  annoyed  some  Hollywood  moguls.

On  the  other  hand  we  are  not  taking  the  Ridges  to  heart  in  the  same  way  even  though  they  are  substantially  better  looking.  Sally  Ridge  initially  rode  to  fame  as  a  partner  of  Matthew  Ridge,  himself  D FHOHEULW\ RQ WKH UXJE\ OHDJXH ÂżHOG DQG WKHQ RQ television.  Jaime  rode  to  fame  as  being  the  child  of  celebrities  and  thinking  of  becoming  a  boxer.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  bit  like  royalty  I  suppose,  passing  status  on  to  the  next  generation.  So  now  Sally  and  Jaime  have  their  own  television  slot,  just  for  being  them.  Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  more  meaningless  than  the  GC  I  suppose.

I  wonder  what  its  like  at  one  of  those  celebrity  occasions,  you  know  the  ones  where  they  are  all  photographed  standing  around  with  a  glass  in  their  hands.  Are  they  celebrating  each  other  or  just  trying  to  make  sure  that  they  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  being  up  staged  in  some  way?
