Dear  Editor, I  would  like  to  express  my  disgust  and  concern  about  an  incident  that  happened  last  Friday  around  4pm  at  the  Kopua  skate  bowl. During  clean  up  works  at  the  bmx  track,  Hayden  and  :D\QH 5REEV IURP 5DJODQ Earthmovers  were  suddenly  verbally  abused  by  a  group  of  20  young  people  between  8  and  16  years  old. Hayden  and  Wayne  were  called  all  sorts  of  names,  even  threatened,  apparently  because  of  the  dust  created  by  the  clean  up  works. Most  concerning  about  this  incident  is  that  a  couple  of  these  youngsters  were  seen  drinking  alcoholic  drinks. Also  not  a  single  adult Â
was  present  at  the  time  of  the  incident. I  believe  this  is  completely  unacceptable  and  that  these  youngsters  responsible  for  this  incident  should  come  forward  and  sincerely  apologize. Also  in  return  they  could  KHOS ZLWK ¿QLVKLQJ RII WKH bmx  track  by  putting  the  mulch  on  the  sides  of   the  start  hill  and  jumps.  This  whole  project  has  been  completed  without  any  SUR¿W DW DOO VR LWœV UHDOO\ VDG to  see  the  disrespect  from  those  ones  who  the  track  has  been  made  for. 3ROLFH KDYH EHHQ QRWL¿HG of  this  incident.

Course offers comprehensive insight Asphalt now laid on Bow street into ‘world of Maori’ A  comprehensive  course  or  wananga  embracing  the  world  of  Maori  tradition  and  protocol  is  set  to  be  held  in  Raglan  under  the  tutelage  of  prominent  local  kaumatua  Russell  Riki  who  says  the  time  has  come  to  tell  the  stories  of  his  people. Working  with  the  newly  established  Wahangaoterangi  Trust,  Russell  will  hand  down  generations  of  oral  tradition  including  Maori  faith,  te  reo  or  Maori  language,  waiata  or  singing  and  Maori  history  gleaned  from  his  life  as  a  spiritual  leader  –  a  role  for  which  he  was  groomed  from  birth. “My  grandparents  took  me  from  my  mother  when  I  was  less  than  two  hours  old  and  raised  me,â€?  Russell  said  of  his  upbringing  in  the  tradition  of  a  chieftain.  “And  I  was  never  allowed  to  speak  English  at  home  until  I  was  14.â€? Marae  protocol,  tangi  and  blessings  –  which  are  now  part  of  Russell’s  daily  work  in  support  of  iwi  –  will  be  covered  on  the  Pupuru  te  ao  Maori  course,  as  will  the  importance  of  Papatuanuku  or  gardening  DQGKLLNDRUÂżVKLQJWRWKH0DRUL way  of  life.   Russell  and  course  co-Â
ordinator  Louise  Middlemiss  expect  the  six-Âweek  wananga  –  which  is  being  offered  to  Raglan  ¿UVW Âą WR DSSHDO WR D ÂłEURDG´ range  of  people  from  tourists  to  locals,  Maori  and  non-ÂMaori  alike.  They  have  structured  the  weekly  evening  sessions  at  5DJODQ 7RZQ +DOO WR ³¿W LQWR people’s  lifestylesâ€?,  though  exact  dates  have  yet  to  be  set.   Louise  says  the  course  is  an  opportunity  for  people  who  want  to  feel  more  comfortable  with  Maori  protocol. The  course  is  entitled  Pupuru  te  ao  Maori  –  translated  as  Embrace  the  world  of  Maori  –  and  Louise  says  it  will  see  Maori  beliefs  taught  by  the  well-Ârespected  kaumatua  whose  ancestry  connects  him  to  the  wider  Tainui  region  and  other  waka  throughout  the  country. Russell’s  west  coast  iwi,  Ngati  Tahinga  and  Ngati  Mahanga,  means  he  liaises  comfortably  with  both  tribes.   Recently,  for  instance,  he  conducted  a  blessing  at  Raglan  Museum  where  the  two  shared  common  ground.  The  blessing  of  items  destined  for  display  was  part  of  a  welcome  to  the  Bird  family  who  farmed  for  years  across  the  harbour  at  Te  Akau  and  donated  WKHLUÂżQDOFROOHFWLRQRIDUWHIDFWV including  historically  important  moa  bones,  to  the  museum. Â
Raglan’s  main  street,  Bow  Street,  has  had   asphalt  laid  in  time  for  the  busy  Christmas  and  New  Year  holiday  season. Bow  Street  was  recently  resealed,  and  while  the  contractor  carried  out  the  job  as  required,  a  new  surface  was  laid  for  the  holiday  period  after  requests  from  the  Raglan  community,   and  pressure  from  Ward  Councillor  Clint  Baddeley  and  the  Raglan  Community  Board.
Kaumatua Russell Riki (foreground) with members of the Bird family during a blessing outside Raglan Museum Russell,  who  was  schooled  at  Waikaretu  north  of  Te  Akau,  found  it  an  honour  to  see  the  taonga  or  treasures  laid  in  their  last  resting  place. The  52-Âyear  old  –  who  is  linked  on  his  father’s  side  to  Maori  chiefs  as  far  back  as  Tohunga  Wahangaoterangi,  the  Matua  of  known  Chief  Wetini  Mahikai  Wahanga,  whose  headstone  stands  in  the  cemetery  beside  Poihakena  Marae  –  has  generations  of  history  to  call  on.  He  has  taught  on  marae  up  and  down  the  country,  including  wananga  classes  locally  at  Poihakena  where  he  was  based  for  three  years  in  the  mid  ‘90s. “I  want  to  teach,â€?  says  Russell,  “I  like  the  language,  the  culture  ...it’s  time  to  tell  (my)  stories.â€? Russell’s  seven  forefathers  all Â
married  tribally  but  “I  broke  the  beadâ€?,  he  admits. He  rebelled  and  ran  away  from  Maoridom  early  on,  marrying  a  European  more  than  30  years  ago  and  together  raising  a  large  family. He  says  he  is  proud  now,  through  his  children,  to  have  bridged  the  gap  between  two  cultures. To  register  interest  in  the  wananga,  contact  Louise  Middlemiss,  ph  825  5889.  Cost  per  person  is  $240  for  the  weekly  4hr  sessions  over  six  weeks  at  Raglan  Town  Hall.  For  those  who  prefer,  a  free  monthly  marae-Âbased  wananga  –  Te  Puawaitanga  te  reo  Maori  or  The  blossoming  of  the  Maori  language  –  will  be  offered  once  funding  is  obtained  next  year.   See  advert  on  this  page.
Raglan businesses overwhelmingly oppose seabed mining proposals The  Raglan  Chamber  of  Commerce  last  week  announced  its  support  for  KASM,  after  its  members  responded  to  an  email  survey.  An  overwhelming  majority,  88%  were  against  seabed  mining,  4%  in  favour  and  8%  had  no  ¿UPRSLQLRQ  Chair  of  the  Chamber,  Stephanie  Philp  stated  recently,  “A  major  component  of  our  WRXULVPPDUNHWLVVXUÂżQJZLWK an  expanding  environmental/ eco  tourism  element.  If  our  seabed  or  foreshore  is  damaged  it  will  ruin  that  market.â€?  “In  Raglan,  business  and  the  environment  are  inextricably  linked.  Our  full  board  supports  KASM’s  aims  and  it’s  passive  protest  of  the  matters  at  hand.â€?  She  added,  “We  already  have  major  erosion  around  our  coastline.  Where  mining  has  occurred  in  New  Zealand  and  overseas,  it  has  adversely  affected  the  surf  breaks  and  caused  further  erosion.  This  would  be  disastrous  for  our  community  and  would  undoubtedly  impact  on  business.â€?  It  wasn’t  all  about  the Â

Te Akau School : Doors opened in 1913
A  major  celebration  is  approaching  for  the  Te  Akau  community  with  its  one  and  only  school  about  to  turn  100-Âyears  old. When  Te  Akau  School  opened  its  doors  in  1913,  pupils  walked  or  rode  to  school  on  horseback  and  were  taught  in  a  classroom  built  of  cabbage  tree  slabs  and  lined  with  sacks. Now  with  three  teachers  and  37  students,  the  school  has  much  bigger  and  better  facilities  and  is  still  the  heart  of  the  community.    Being  located  in  what  many  would  consider  a  remote  location  has  at  times  left  the  school  facing  dwindling  pupil  numbers,  low  JRYHUQPHQW IXQGLQJ GLIÂżFXOWLHV attracting  teachers,  and  ultimately,  the  threat  of  closure.  Reaching  100-Âyears  old  is  a  major  achievement  for  any  rural  New  Zealand  school  these  days,  says  John  Jackson,  chairman  of  the  Centenary  Committee.  “I  think  any  time  you  can  get  an  institution  like  this  through  to Â

100  years,  it’s  certainly  well  worth  celebrating.  “Especially  when  you  look  around  and  see  the  desolate  schoolyards  in  a  lot  of  rural  areas  these  days.â€? Part  of  organising  the  event  has  involved  spreading  the  word  to  former  staff  and  pupils,  many  of  whom  have  long  since  left  the  district.  Money  has  needed  to  be  raised  for  the  celebrations,  some  of  which  has  come  from  a  local  ‘stock  drive’,  where  local  farmers  sell  sheep  and  cattle  and  donate  the  proceeds.  The  Centenary  Committee  has  also  set  its  sights  on  restoring  the  community  hall,  which  stands  next  to  and  is  used  by  the  school  on  a  regular  basis.   Vested  to  the  community  in  the  1920s,  the  building  has  lost  some  of  its  former  glory  and  giving  it  a  makeover  has  become  part  of  the  centenary  celebrations,  Jackson  says.   “It  was  a  suggestion  right  from  the  start  that  we  should  use  this  as  an  opportunity  to  bring  some Â
outside  money  in  to  help  restore  the  community  hall.  “Otherwise  the  thing  will  become  an  eyesore  and  a  health  and  safety  issue.  So  we  decided  to  save  it  while  we  can.â€? The  hall  has  already  been  given  a  new  roof,  thanks  to  a  generous  $10,000  grant  from  the  Sir  John  Logan  Campbell  Trust.   The  Te  Akau  School  Centenary  Committee  is  warmly  welcoming  all  who  have  had  an  association  with  the  school  over  the  years  to  come  and  celebrate  on  2nd  March.  The  day  will  commence  with  a  powhiri  at  the  school  entrance  at  10:00am,  before  a  jam-Âpacked  schedule  of  activities  such  as  decade  photos,  a  performance  from  current  pupils,  school  tour,  sausage  sizzle,  music  jam  session,  and  games. Celebrations  will  later  move  on  to  the  Te  Akau/Waingaro  Community  Complex  where  an  evening  dinner  and  dance  will  see  the  party  out.      Ben  Chapman-ÂSmith Those  looking  to  register  can  go  to:  www.schoolground.co.nz/ teakau

Pets on holiday: The holiday season is rapidly approaching, and for those of us with pets there are a few extra things to consider to decrease the likelihood of misadventure for locals and tourists during the summer holidays. Vaccinations: Most boarding kennels and catteries require pets to be fully vaccinated and boosted annually. For cats WKLVLVDLQYDFFLQHWRSURWHFWDJDLQVW´FDWà X¾DQGGRJV get vaccinated against parvo, distemper, hepatitis and lepto as part of the core vaccine, and a kennel cough vaccine is required for boarding kennels. Taking your pets on holiday increases their risk of exposure to potentially lethal viruses so vaccinations should always be kept up-to-date. 6ZDOORZHG RU HPEHGGHG ÀVK KRRNV This is a common SUREOHPLQSHWVZKRVHRZQHUVHQMR\UHFUHDWLRQDOÀVKLQJEXW sometimes pets will pick them up while exploring. Pets can swallow them while scavenging bait or get them embedded in the face or skin while at beaches or wharves, particularly at low tide. If this happens we recommend a trip to the local vet clinic, because if the barb is embedded they are very GLIÀFXOWWRUHPRYHZLWKRXWVRPHIRUPRIDQDHVWKHWLFDQGWKH FRUUHFWWHFKQLTXH6ZDOORZHGÀVKKRRNVKDYHDIDUJUHDWHU risk factor, and should always be seen by a vet. Overheating: With summer comes the peril of hot cars and abandoned animals. All animals are prone to heat stress if left unattended in hot cars, and this also applies to dogs tied on the back of utes. Signs of hyperthermia (overheating) in dogs are hyperventilation (excessive panting), bright pink gums and increased rectal temperature. Care must be taken not to overcool these animals, and a trip to the vet clinic for a check up is recommended. NEVER leave animals in hot cars! 'RJÀJKWV Over the holidays we treat an increased number RIGRJVLQMXUHGLQÀJKWVPRVWRIZKLFKRFFXURQWKHEHDFK These range from major, life threatening injuries, to less serious wounds requiring pain relief and antibiotics. Deep puncture wounds will often not be very visible or bleed much, but will commonly result in infection and should be treated as soon as possible. As a precaution, dogs should be kept on leads in public places or when other dogs are around.

Making Waikato’s waterways safe There are more than 70,000 people who go boating in the region each year and Waikato Regional Council is responsible for setting and enforcing some of the boating rules to make sure our waterways are safe for everybody. We’ve been reviewing these rules for the Waikato and from Monday 17 December until Friday 22 February we’ll be seeking public submissions on the proposed Navigation Safety Bylaw 2013. We are particularly keen to get feedback on a proposed rule change which will make it compulsory for lifejackets to be worn on vessels of six metres or less in length while the vessel is underway.
REDUCE THE RISK The Waikato region has the highest number of fatal and serious road crashes in New Zealand and the tragedy is that over the holiday season this toll is likely to increase.
Even one drink makes you three times more likely to crash. Reduce the risk – don’t drink and drive. And if you’re heading away on a summer holiday road trip, consider the safety of you and your family by making sure your car is roadworthy.
Waikato Regional Council leads the regional road safety education group, working in conjunction with the NZTA, NZ Police, ACC and local councils.
To get to your destination safely:
We recommend following these tips if you’re hosting a Christmas party to ensure your friends and family return home safely:
The purpose of the bylaw is to provide for safe use within all navigable waters of the Waikato region, excluding Lake Taupō which is under the Department of Internal Affairs jurisdiction.
• serve substantial food and have nonalcoholic drinks available
The bylaw impacts recreational activities, including power boating, kayaking, yachting, jetskiing and swimming.
• keep an eye on everyone, especially young people
Visit our website for more information on the bylaw review and to complete the online submission form.
• arrange transport, ensure they have a sober driver or let them stay overnight.
• prepare your vehicle – check your tyre pressure and condition, fluid levels, lights, and clean your windscreen • prepare yourself – be rested before a long drive, plan the trip so you share the driving and take regular breaks to minimise fatigue • ensure children are correctly restrained in an approved car seat • check your load security and trailer coupling locks when towing a boat, trailer or caravan.

Sign of the times in Raglan Signs designed by students from Te Uku primary school have just been erected near the dune at Te Kopua in Raglan and urge beachgoers to protect new plantings by using the provided access ways.
developed by the Waikato District Council and Waikato Regional Council’s Beachcare programme to remove the exotic trees and replace them with more appropriate native plant species that would help support local biodiversity and improve the natural character of the area.
The students planted 300 native trees and 1700 native dune plants in September to help restore the dune ecosystem at Raglan’s Te Kopua domain.
Tree species planted in the back dune area include pohutukawa, karaka and karo, while native dune plants pingao, pohuehue and wiwi have been planted seaward of these trees.
Following their planting day, the students decided to create educational signage for beach users. Council staff were so impressed by the artwork and messages that four were picked and made into official signs that have now been installed around the plantings.
The plants will help to build the dunes seaward and reduce the risk of coastal flooding and erosion.
This dune system had been highly modified in the past and planted with exotic poplar trees that were starting to die. A plan was

Top and right: Two of the four drawings selected to appear on signs near Raglan dunes to educate beachgoers. Left: Students from Te Uku primary school planted natives at Te Kopua domain which will reduce the risk of coastal flooding and erosion.
BLOOMING HOT The forecasters reckon this summer will be hot and dry. These are the perfect conditions for triggering outbreaks of blue-green algae, making it unsafe for people to drink untreated water and to swim, boat or jetski. Waikato Regional Council will again increase water testing over summer, looking for signs of the potentially toxic algae in our waterways. And the results will be available online so you can keep up to date with the latest information. We also have handy water saving hints, so you can help to preserve this valuable natural resource.
One stop effluent shop An expo being held next March will provide a one stop shop for dairy farmers wanting to bring their effluent system up to code. Waikato Regional Council, supported by DairyNZ, will hold its third annual Dairy Effluent Expo at Mystery Creek Events Centre between 9 am and 3.30 pm on Tuesday 26 March.
www.waikatoregion.govt.nz/algalbloom www.waikatoregion.govt.nz/smartwateruse
SAVE THIS DATE In March Waikato Regional Council will be calling for submissions on the Draft Annual Plan 2013/14. A special edition of Your Waikato will be arriving in your letterbox about the same time with a summary of the key issues for you to consider. Don’t miss out! Register to receive Your Waikato via email.
www.waikatoregion.govt.nz/your-waikato
Many dairy farmers are making significant investments in their effluent management systems to protect the environment and to get the best value from the nutrients in their effluent. The expo offers an opportunity to talk to the suppliers of all the products and services farmers need to ensure their investment provides them with the best result for their farm. Already about 30 exhibitors are locked in for the day-long event, providing farmers with a good opportunity to get all the information needed to bring their effluent system up to code. Environmental farming systems manager Alan Campbell said council staff will be available to advise on the rules and compliance requirements and seminars will run all day on a wide range of hot topics for effluent management. “Farmers need peace of mind that their effluent system can comply with the rules 365 days a year and the Effluent Expo is a must for anyone who isn’t sure.”
