Budding ‘Paquin’ shares limelight with other young Raglan talent

Anna Paquin may have won an Oscar at the same age but a slip of a Raglan girl being compared to her was still thrilled to accept her hometown equivalent of sorts – a RAFFA – at a Red Carpet Awards Ceremony held at the Old School last Saturday.

Eleven-year-old Ariana Brunet, described recently by nationally published Fairfax television reviewer Jane Bowron as “the best child actress to hit the screens since Anna Paquin”, took out best actress category at the awards, held as part of the nine-day Raglan Film Festival.

Ariana’s currently got her own slice of screen fame, starring as Becky on TV One’s 13-part relationship drama cum action thriller “This Is Not My Life”, for which she auditioned in Auckland last year.

Her role is as the daughter of the lead character of the highly rating show, Alec, played by accomplished film and television actor Charles Mesure.

Despite her taste of national fame on “This Is Not My Life”, which screens in a prime 8.30pm Thursday timeslot, the Te Uku School pupil reckons it was “real cool” to tread the red carpet and mingle with other budding Raglan actors and film makers at Saturday night’s awards ceremony.

She said she specially enjoyed meeting the likes of Wintec moving image students Nane McLean and Micah Puklowski, who in turn asked for her business card.

WeatherMap beta release

Micah – who’s completing a masters degree –won a RAFFA for best drama for her direction of “Gone”, a short film about a time-travelling sister trying to prevent a tragedy, which has already taken out a series of regional and national awards in this year’s 48 Hours film-making competition. Raglan sisters Ezra Andre and Janet O’Connell act out the locally filmed tale.

Nane meanwhile took home the RAFFA creative force award for her assistant director role in “Baxter”, a philosophical look at the journey of life which was a finalist in the same 48 Hours contest, and for her combined writer/producer/ http://www.weathermap.co.nz/?p=ragla director roles in a quirky coming of age story of a young girl in the Raglan Community Arts Council-backed “Pukeko Princess”. The short film was filmed last year in the Raglan Town Hall with many residents used as extras.

Market day road closures rile retailers At a Chamber of Commerce-organised public meeting last week, there was strong support for finding an “acceptable” way forward without disadvantaging the Community House initiative.

“We totally support Raglan Community House and what they do in town,” Kanuka Design’s Lynley Court told the 40-odd townspeople – including most candidates for the upcoming elections – who gathered at the Sunset Motel ‘s conference room.

“However as a retailer, seeing the road shut is a total anaethema (to me).”

Raglan was a beautiful town, and for people to be “stopped at the front door” was wrong, she said. “You divide and separate your visitors.”

Leaving Bow Street open and utilising a narrower market area from the community house and its car park spaces down towards NZ Post – which is closed on weekends – was the favoured option among more than a dozen suggestions. The plan envisages making use too of the footpath space outside both the town hall and the Plunket

rooms, and of any other street frontage not used by a shop open at the time.

An added advantage, retailers argued, was that the resited market days could also take in the large car park space between Plunket and the town hall. While they conceded the paved area would not be level enough for stallholders’ trestle tables, they believed it could possibly accommodate stallholders such as those selling pot plants who were not so dependent on trestles.

A second suggestion, summed up by chamber president and meeting facilitator Alan Vink as “good for some and not for others”, was to close only the community house side of the road and divert traffic entering town to the lane by which cars normally exit. Cars could then be encouraged to park at the Raglan Club, and to leave the CBD via Wainui Road or Bankart and Wallis Streets.

A third option, dismissed as “not doable” because of road safety issues, was to instead close the exit lane alongside the vets, with stallholders setting up immediately outside the community house – while still allowing traffic flow into town – and across on the closed road and the footpath on the vets’ side.

Community House co-ordinator Chrissy Hodkinson, however, pointed out the market days were as much about business for the stallholders as promoting its community services – and that this

option, besides being a safety risk with marketgoers to-ing and fro-ing through traffic, would divide the whole market.

She explained the market had been running for many years, originally in the large forecourt of the community house.

When Waikato District Council took the land for car parking – at the time the roundabouts were built – a deal was agreed to that the community house would be allowed to have markets in Bow Street.

Ariana may be just 11 but she wasn’t the youngest on the night to win a RAFFA, and to receive a ‘surreal steel’ trophy made by Raglan artist Phil Meek. That honour went to nineyear-old Reiki Ruawai – the son of Cornerstone Roots’ frontman Brian Ruawai – who picked up the best actor gong for his lead role in the short film “Beat”.

The Waikato University Hillary Scholarship Programme arts project was filmed in Raglan, inside former Raglan bluesman Midge Marsden’s house overlooking the wharf. Reiki , as Rua, is seen first observing then controlling by remote a parallel domestic cum dance sequence of four 20-somethings who are all locked into their own head spaces with MP3 players on.

Meantime a third Wintec moving image student, Turanga Kereopa, took out the RAFFA creative visual category for “The Chronicles of the Sky Child” which was largely shot on location at Mt Karioi and featured locals as part of the production. The same film also recently won Turanga a Wintec award for excellence in visual presentation.

Chicken drumsticks plain & marinated

While the night belonged mainly to the upand-comers, there were also RAFFAs for two more “seasoned” creatives.

Film-maker Maryann Tuao, who took out best historic drama in 2009’s Red Carpet Awards, this time round claimed best musical feature with “Cool Summer Tour”, which documents and captures the essence of legendary Raglan band Cornerstone Roots’ tour around New Zealand last summer.

And Raglan choreographer Patti Mitchley received the RAFFA environment award for her part as director of last summer’s hugely successful Whaingaroa 350 Flashmob, which for about five power-packed minutes saw “spontaneous” street dance take over the town in a performance aimed at raising awareness and creating community action around climate change.

Footage of the flash dancing pulled together by her son Connor was shown at the ceremony, along with the various short films, before MC Terry Horn dispersed awards contained in “ecologically-friendly” paper bags.

Friendly, efficient service,in your community

Raglan ward councillor and deputy mayor Clint Baddeley, while describing the quality of the town’s retail area as “world class”, told the meeting the council would need to look at solutions that were workable for everybody.

“A sense of community is important,” he emphasised. “It’s not just about the retailer.”

Chamber sources also confirmed the council had declined to facilitate the meeting, another sign that any change to the market days’ format may not be easily come by.

* Raglan Film Festival continues daily at the Old School Arts Centre until Saturday’s final 8.30pm screening of “Exit Through the Gift Shop”, a street art extravaganza featuring exclusive footage of British grafitti artist Banksy.

While Raglan’s businesspeople hope now that a solution can be worked out with council to avoid the angst caused by the seven days which they say markedly affect their top tourist trade, there were indications at last week’s meeting that any trade-off will not come easily.

Raglan Coastguard busy with rescues Fine weather last Sunday brought with it a series of rescues for Raglan Coastguard, which first went to the aid of two people who were hurt when a couple of freak waves capsized their boat on the Raglan bar around noon.

After returning the pair to the beach where they were assessed by the local St John Ambulance service, the Coastguard was kept busy with four

more rescues at Ngarunui Beach in which people out of their depth were plucked from the water.

Two of the four were caught in a rip, reports Raglan Surf Life Saving Club emergency callout co-ordinator Debbie Phillips-Morgan.

The local surf club will begin patrolling the beach again from Labour Weekend through until Easter, she adds.

The Chamber of Commerce exists to help businesses and other organisations in the community be successful.

The issue really isn’t about whether individuals are rich, it’s about how we can work together to make the community richer. When local businesses are successful so are their communities because they provide jobs and income for local people and support for community organisations.

HOW TO WIN Email your details to info@raglanchronicle.co.nz with “garden giveaway” in the subject line. Competition closes Monday 11 October.

This tip can be applied at work, at home and socially. Many of us believe that people need to be told when they’re doing something wrong so that they can improve their performance.

The problem with this is that when we only focus on what’s wrong we prime our brain to hone in on everything that’s wrong. It’s no fun when you’re on the receiving end of constantly being told what you need to improve.

If you really want to change people’s behaviour, there’s a better way. It relies on your powers of observation. But even if your observation skills are’t too great now, this exercise will improve them. It’s so simple that it would be easy to brush it aside in favour of some more ‘sophisticated’ business techniques. And it might feel a bit weird. You may feel self-conscious about it. That just lets you know you need to practice more so that you feel comfortable.

(You probably have more experience at noticing and discussing things you don’t like. That’s true for most of us.)

During the day make a point of noticing something that someone else is doing that you like. It could be someone at work, a customer, someone at home, or even a stranger. Tell the person what it was you liked by naming the behaviour. For example, “You handled that phone call really well.” “It’s great that you’ve finished your homework.” “Your enthusiasm when you talk about that product is fantastic.” “You were so kind to that customer that she left smiling from ear to ear.”

Don’t expect any particular response; this may be new for the other person as well. Do the same tomorrow and the next day.

The more you do it the more comfortable you’ll feel and the more your observation skills will improve. The changes in the recipients of these observations will be rapid and obvious and your own perception of the world will be different too.

RAGLAN Chronicle 5

Author at the age of five RSA News At the age of just five Waitetuna schoolgirl Abby Cranfield can boast of being a published author.

Abby entered the New Zealand Post children’s story competition and her entry was one of fifty stories chosen to appear in an illustrated book “Leprechaun Ice Cream. Magical Tales by Kiwi kids.”

The competition, which was run in conjunction with the New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards and was open to year 1 to 8 students, received over seven thousand entries.

The fifty pieces chosen to appear in the book were selected by a panel of New Zealand authors.

Abby’s story is called “Big Boots” and her mum Erin says she spent a whole summer working on the idea. She says Abby loves writing books, which she handwrites and illustrates herself.

Abby was presented with her copy of the new book at Waitetuna School at the end of term.

Anne Arter was awarded with a Life Membership of Raglan RSA, from District President of Waikato/BOP RSA Alan Pluck on Monday

ATV Helmets. There are about 300 serious ATV related injuries recorded

USED BIKES

by ACC every year and about 800 ACC injury claims. A lot of the claims involve children riding adult size ATV’s, inexperienced riders or inappropriate use.

Peter Bryant- Honda Hamilton Director

Facts are known but still most farmers are reluctant to wear ATV helmets. We see it in the papers all the time. But it always happens to other people, right?

ATVs. It took several months of grizzles and constant reminders to get my staff into that habit, but now they just do it without even thinking about it.

ATV’s are easy to ride and people have the attitude anyone can get on and ride.

This is all fine until it all goes wrong.

At around 300kgs, these can be very dangerous vehicles.

They may look funny but who cares.

Lead by example, wear a helmet yourself and get staff to start wearing them. If you haven’t already, it’s worth putting this requirement in Employment Agreements.

From my own experience it is difficult to make staff wear helmets when testing

A big crowd filled the Te Uku hall on the last week of term to be entertained by a talented group of young performers. Each year Te Uku school encourages pupils to enter a competition called the X factor.

The final held at the Te Uku hall was judged by local identities Roger Peart and Lisa Thompson. They were most impressed with the standard of performance and commended the groups for their brilliant efforts.

Don’t miss the Raglan edition of It’s in the Bag on Maori TV this Sunday 10th October at 7pm.

2005 HONDA CRF250X $5,995

The winning group from year four choreographed their own current dance routine and the runners up did a beautiful rendition of Hallelujah.

But perhaps the show stealer of the afternoon was Te Oranga, the master of moves. While he took out first place with the girls he also was 3rd overall with his solo dance performance. This boy is one to watch.

RAGLAN Chronicle 7

Raglan Junior Soccer Season 2010 Over 90 players aged 5 to 13 years spread over 11 teams made up the club this season.

It was a wet season with several games being cancelled due to the water logged fields. But despite the rain the season was a huge success in terms of participation, skills learnt and confidences gained.

A big thank you goes out to all the coaches.

The season would not be possible without the time coaches invest in Raglan’s youth. So thank you to everyone that helped to keep our children active and learning to enjoy sport.

Prize giving

Prize giving was a community event with most players and their families attending to celebrate the successful season, with all players being recognised for their commitment to the season and others for new skills gained.

Lawn bowls Oh my goodness what a wicked way to start the season - wet, wet, wet, and wet again! We’ve been open a month and haven’t been able to play on our lovely green grass because it is too soft, due to all the precipitation.

Our first local tournament was postponed and will be re-scheduled to a later date, but believe it or not, we did manage to be able to play the Northern Zone Interclub challenge here on our Astrograss Green because Ngaruawahia’s lawn green was too wet to play on. We are so lucky to have our all-weather astro green.

Clubs in the Northern Zone are Huntly, Huntly West, Taupiri, Ngaruawahia and Raglan.

Each club submitted two Pairs teams and one Triples team. We all had to play each club, but as neither Huntly nor Huntly West submitted teams we only played three rounds each.

Round one: Pairs A (Denny Robertson and Eileen Stephens) had a Bye. Pairs B (Raewyn Falconer and Maureen Wahanga) beat Taupiri 15/9.

Triples (Ross Turner, Blue Stephens & Bill

Bond) beat Ngruawahia 13/6. Taupiri had a Bye in the Triples.

Round Two: Pairs A lost to Taupiri 7/17, Pairs B beat Ngaruawahia 16/4, Triples had a Bye. Round Three: Pairs A won against Ngaruawahia 19/3, Pairs B had a Bye, Triples won against Taupiri 11/7.

So we retained the Shield for the fifth year in succession! Wow that is good going team, well done to you all. We could see you enjoyed yourselves.

Saturday 2nd is our local tournament,

Esther Smith 2x4x2 Pairs, and we pray for a fine day. Good luck and enjoy.

Community Theatre needs help It is that time of year again, Raglan Amateur Theatre society (RATS), formally known as Raglan Community Theatre is putting on another production.

This year’s production will consist of four drama pieces; tales from ‘The Just So Stories’ performed by the Drama Trix kids, ‘Survivor’ by Graeme Rhodes, ‘The

8 RAGLAN Chronicle

Runaway Accountant’ by Renee BoyerWillisson, and ‘Chook Chook’ by Fiona Farrell. The three performances will play on the 26th and 27th of November.

As a community group we are putting out feelers and looking for people who would like to be part of making this event happen. If you would like to get involved we are seeking people who can help out with costume design and construction,

make-up artists, face painters, stage hands, go-fors and front of house crew.

There is also a fundraising opportunity for a group or individuals. If you are interested it would require organising snacks and non-alcoholic drinks to sell during the performances intervals.

If you would like to help out or for further information call AJ 825 8580 or 021 0440 523.

OPINION: Extravagance... by Ian McKissack The new format for the next Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cup in 2013 has been announced. It will be sailed in 72 foot wing sail catamarans.

I cannot deny that if I am able to get the races on television I will be glued to my set. But at the same time I have difficulty believing that this extravagance is still happening in a world where we are just beginning to realise that we cannot put vast amounts of money and resources into such vanity projects, rich menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vanity. The claim is that there will be less expenditure in the new format: well, maybe.

luxury and collections of great paintings and jewels which have to be locked away for safe keeping. I say men because they are most often the culprits, but there are women with similar tendencies, Imelda Marcos and her shoes for instance.

Thinking big has been around in human nature for a long time. The pyramids must have required incredible time and effort just to make tombs for some inflated egos of those days.

Going back to about 3000 B.C. in Britain, which must have been a fairly primitive kind of society, they still came up the bright idea of building Stonehenge

There seems to be something in our genetic make-up that has to go for big projects. Take the rapid development of Dubai into a playground for the rich and mindless.

As the money dries up the 300 man-made islands, intended to form a collection of nation replicas, is gradually sinking back into nature along with the grandiose plans for its future.

There is also the long history of rulers and rich men who build palaces and mansions, private yachts of unbelievable

for some obscure purpose. The original Bluestones came from a site 240 km. away, which must have created some incredible transport headaches. At least it was completed with more easily accessible Sarsen stones. But the pyramids allow some Egyptian men, who would probably be otherwise unemployed, to guide tourists around.

Stonehenge comes in as a handy extra for the Glastonbury festival so isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all waste either.

Not sure what they will use those 72 foot catamarans for in a few thousand years, but we live in a throwaway world now.
