Whaingaroa Beachcare dune planting working bee – all welcome!

Grab your spade and raincoat for a dune planting working bee at Te Kopua beach in Raglan this Saturday.

Everyone is welcome to the event, which runs from 1pm to 3pm and The Shack. Dine in or Takeaway. 19 Bow Street..................................825 0027 has been organised by Whaingaroa Beachcare as part of Sustainable September’s activities for 2013.

This working bee will be a continuation of the dune restoration efforts that started at Te Kopua last The Raglan Club.

Over time, the sand dunes at Te Shane Ardern MP Kopua have been heavily modified from TARANAKI-KING COUNTRY their natural state with the majority of the original native dune plants being damaged by development, rabbits and pedestrians. Beachcare volunteers are Electorate office: working with the Waikato Regional 25 Roche Street, Te Awamutu Council and Waikato Distract Council p 07 825 0263 (Freephone) to remove the exotic trees and weeds e ShaneArdernMP@xtra.co.nz WeatherMap - New Zealand weather forecasts that now dominate the dunes and replace them with native species that would have made up the original plant www.national.org.nz community.

Among the plants being used are sand daphne and New Zealand sea spurge, both of which are threatened with extinction. These plants will be added to the area planted in 2012.

Another area currently lacking dune plants will be planted with pingao.

It’s only found in New Zealand and is highly valued by Maori for weaving, but is in serious decline.

Behind the pingao zone two native ground covers – pohuehue and sand coprosma – will be planted to create habitat for our native wildlife. New Zealand’s native copper butterfly only lays its eggs in pohuehue and its fruit is a favourite food source for our native skinks.

So come along on Saturday with your favourite spade and help restore this precious ecosystem in the heart of Raglan.

High drama as rescuers cut snagged seagull free out to be the “Good Samaritan”. Rescuers used a brigade ladder and a long pole with a cutting device to climb up onto the truck’s roof and free the bird.

It was a “great relief” to see the seagull released and fly off up-harbour, says Tania. The outcome surprised some at the scene who thought it would be dead or at the very least in shock after its ordeal.

And it was amazing how other seagulls hovered overhead as if to protect it, Tania adds.

Raglan Vet Clinic staff, however, believe the gulls would have come more out of curiosity after hearing the sounds of distress from the entangled bird.

Releasing the seagull from the power lines was the only humane thing to do, they say, and the bird could well live on for some time – depending on the size of the fish-hook still stuck in its mouth, and provided it kept the remaining length of line free of other entanglements. Edith Symes

Ladder to success: Local vet Megan Riley atop the "V" truck as rescuers prepare to try to set the seagull free

A

ll Tania Lattaney could think of when she saw a seagull struggling last week to free itself from the power lines on Cliff Street was the Neville Brothers’ hit version of ‘Bird on a Wire’.

And though the bird tried in its way to be free – to paraphrase the Leonard Cohen lyrics – it was clearly going nowhere, with a fishing line from its mouth thoroughly entangled in the lines above.

“I really felt for that bird,” Tania told the Chronicle later, revealing she could scarcely bear to watch it flapping around in vain.

But help was soon at hand thanks to her phone calls to emergency services from her nearby home –and to a passing police car which was flagged down by bystanders. The fire brigade turned up shortly after the siren sounded and an on-duty veterinarian was also quickly on the scene.

The driver of a big green ‘V’ truck came by too, and Tania says he turned

Meeting aims to identify needs of Raglan youth

O

rganisers of a meeting to be held tomorrow (Friday) in the town hall supper room are calling for “caring community members” – especially young people in town – to come and have their say on the services and activities needed for Raglan youth.

And if locals can’t stay for the duration of the mid-afternoon meeting, says Kodi Hapi from the Ministry of Social Development, there’s the option to fill in a short questionnaire which will help in the development of a Waikato youth action plan.

This plan aims to ultimately deliver better outcomes for Raglan’s young people, she says, from education and employment opportunities to drug and alcohol issues in the community.

Tomorrow’s consultation meeting is one of five being held throughout the district this week and next as part of social sector trials which involve the ministries of education, health, justice and social development, and the NZ police, working together to deliver “collaborative” services.

If a town has a specific need, says Kodi, she wants to hear about it. “It’s an opportunity to help shape the youth action plan.”

Raglan Community House, the area school and other networks in town have also been asked for their input into the programme.

An online survey, possibly through Raglan Area School, is likely to run in conjunction with the social sector trials programme.

Meet at Raglan Town Hall supper room Friday September 13 at 3pm.

The meeting between the board and council staff including chief executive Gavin Ion and general manager service delivery Tim Harty went through all the

Car chase, axe and dog attacks keep cops busy

A

high-speed chase through town last Friday afternoon – involving a stolen vehicle – was the first of three incidents which made last weekend an “eventful” one for Raglan police.

The driver of the stolen ute, coming from Marine Parade, rammed another vehicle out of the way at the intersection on Wainui Road before crossing the one-way bridge into town, says Constable Kevin Bailey.

He then sped up to 130kmh along Wainui

Wharf fire alarm still going nowhere It’s “really distressing” that the fire alarm at the new Raglan wharf building is still not connected up, says outgoing Raglan Community Board chairman Rodger Gallagher.

“I’m shocked it has taken this time,” he told the last meeting of the current board this week. Council staff informed the board in an “issues” report they were working with Fire Security Services to resolve fire alarm – and smoke and heat detector – issues. “This will be actioned and completed as an immediate priority,” they added in the latest of their several assurances on the matter. The previous wharf building was razed in a spectacular fire in April 2010.

In the third incident, on Sunday morning, a pitbull terrier was tasered after trying to attack a police officer near the skatepark at the end of Marine Parade. Police had been called to the scene after the pitbull first attacked another dog belonging to a local woman out for a walk.

The pitbull’s male owner – from Hamilton – became verbally abusive towards the woman, Constable Bailey told the Chronicle, and animal control is now dealing with the incident. Edith Symes

This week the Chronicle caught up with Tracey McKay and her family.

Where did you live before settling in the Raglan area?

We moved to Te Uku from Owhango, a small farming village on the Central Plateau about 3 ½ years ago.

Are you from rural backgrounds? How did you decide to pursue a career in farming?

We both grew up on sheep and beef farms, but farming sort of ‘found us’ again later on. John worked on a couple of dairy conversions with a friend & next thing we were milking cows.

What do you like about the farming way of life?

John’s favorite part is if he gets the stock moved early, he can justify a days fishing. He calls it providing for the family.

Seriously though, fresh air, no traffic, animals are always pleased to see you. The simple things in life.

There is something very satisfying having happy, healthy stock grazing in your paddocks .

What's currently happening on the farm?

Calves, calves and more calves Can you describe the operation of calf rearing for the townies?

Calves born in the dairy industry are not reared on mum, as her milk is in high demand. While there are many successful methods to rear calves, we start ours indoors on woodchip bedding & feed them a diet of milk and grain.

For the first couple of weeks we feed milk twice daily, then switching to a once a day, low volume concentrated milk powder mix, to encourage grain intake. Good grain intake helps with rumen development, meaning we can wean off milk sooner. Fresh water is also available at all times. A calf can be weaned off milk at around 70kg providing they are consuming at least 1kg of grain (and grain feeding continues) and have access to top quality grass. The tricky part is making sure your rearing costs don't outweigh the value of the calf, while still ending up with a top quality animal. The first few months will shape the rest of the calves life, so you have got to get it right.

Where do your calves come from?

Normally from local farmers, or Frankton and Te Awamutu Saleyards, but this year we are rearing a local farmers replacement heifers for him.

What has been required to set your property up for the rearing?

Shedding and lots of it. We use flexi tunnel modified greenhouses to house our calves. It’s a great concept, the plastic cover allows the sunlight in, keeping the calves and bedding really warm and dry. We can now keep 350 calves undercover.

What are the barriers or difficulties that arise through the process?

The wild west coast winds. Season one we were a bit naïve and hadn’t anchored the tunnel house down securely. Bent steel, ripped plastic, wet calves, tears, it was ugly!

What other farming practices are you involved in?

I work just down the road at Miro Feeds, a top local animal feed company.

We are open Monday to Friday 9am -4pm or check us out online www.mirofeeds.co.nz What are your future plans?

A holiday is on the cards once calves are weaned.

How realistic is it these days for people to buy their own farm if they do not have the backing of a family farm?

Sadly the gap between farm value and income generated from them has become wider and wider. Perhaps some keen young farmer may make it after decades of hard work, thrifty living and a bit of luck. Followed by high debt and stress. But it’s not all doom and gloom.

There are still ways to achieve the rural dream without being a landowner.

Please contact the Chronicle if you would like to be involved in this series.

Free books are back – no strings attached A

nationwide act of generosity hit Raglan last week.

From 4th September, in towns and cities from Kaitaia to Invercargill, thousands of books will be given away to men, women and children, with the invitation to read them and then pass them on to someone else. This gift of discovery and adventure is known as the ‘Travelling Books’ project, an initiative by Literacy Aotearoa and New Zealand Post, now in its third year.

The books, more than 7,000 in all this year, have been written

by New Zealand and international authors, and include fiction, nonfiction, and topics of interest to all ages.

The Travelling Books project is designed to foster a love of reading, and has been enthusiastically received by lucky book-finders since 2011, when it went nationwide for the first time.

The free books – more than 100 different titles – include works by bestselling authors like Jo Nesbo and Jenny Pattrick alongside works by beloved household names like Bernard Beckett and Joy Cowley, and less well - known treasures by local and international writers.

“The Travelling Books project aims to make the exciting worlds of children’s, young adult and adult books readily available to New Zealanders everywhere,” says Literacy Aotearoa CEO, Bronwyn Yates. “It highlights the power of giving, builds community and is a practical, grassroots approach to promoting literacy.”

“Our ultimate aim is to raise people’s awareness that adult literacy need is a major national issue, by celebrating literacy in a way that focuses on the positive and fun aspects of reading, learning and expanding our worlds,” Bronwyn Yates added.

With a beautiful view of the estuary and ocean, a beaming sun and a bunch of enthusiastic volunteers, the club collectively decided where to plant the trees and got to work digging. Using spades from the newly restocked Community Tool Bank (thanks to funding

by Meridian) and trees kindly donated by the Hamilton Fruit Growers Association, the afternoon ended with smiling, if somewhat muddy, faces all round!

The planting took place as part of the Backyard Bounty Project, the long term aim of

which is to provide the Raglan community with a sustainable backyard supply of fresh, organic and healthy food - all for free. WEC currently have more trees, purchased by Robin Jones, co-ordinator of the Food Forests, to be planted in other public areas and are in the process of confirming Snowden Place and the Rugby Grounds as potential sites.

These trees along with the Food Forests will provide locals with a lasting source of fruit and vegetables so that no one has to go without! Get in touch with WEC for more info on volunteering for the project, or if you have fruit trees to donate.

In Brief:

Opinion: Politics

More paperwork over sewerage link-up

It seems to me that we are being subjected to a huge amount of political B.S lately…

The number of career politicians seems to grow more and more each election and we should be very wary of this trend. If people stand for public office without life or business experience (and we are silly enough to vote for them) we only have ourselves to blame for the mess they will make of the country.

The Government are trying to sell anything not nailed down to raise money to fund the promises they foolishly made in an election campaign - like reducing debt and unemployment. I wonder if any of them ever studied economics…

Why spend millions a week on interest on money borrowed so that we can pay more and more people to sit at home and do nothing.

Add to this the Labour party leader hopefuls, David apologising for being a closet capitalist, Grant pondering if his chances would not have been better if he had stayed in the closet and Shane not apologising for being a good old boy and every body’s mate. All in all a tax payer funded circus!

The opposition are doing a great job of opposing every utterance the government makes but surely we need more than opposition to proposed policy.

We need an alternative put forward.

Sadly the current opposition parties don’t seem to realise that is a pre requisite of the opposition role.

The whole Labour/Green proposition of stopping all mining and oil exploration without any thought for the tens of thousands of people who would be

Whaanga Coast residents who agreed to connect up with Raglan town’s wastewater system are having to sign up all over again.

Raglan Community Board heard this week the original agreements with about 65 property owners were “not compliant” and updated versions had now been sent out. Council general manager strategy & support Tony Whittaker said the Rates Act required “quite a prescribed format”. A staff report said tender negotiations for the work were almost complete but described the multimillion-dollar project as “on hold” until the required numbers were confirmed. However Raglan ward councillor Clint Baddeley told the board a council committee had recently confirmed the project would definitely go ahead.

Our democracy is only as strong as you are prepared to make it. We have witnessed quite a few decisions being made that may not represent what the people are wanting in central and local government. We are privileged to be able to express our wishes through voting. It is a duty and responsibility to find out what candidates’ thinking is on issues. You like what you hear /find out and vote accordingly. Currently NZ is quite close to becoming a police state! We have massive mountains of legislation and laws that dictate most of our behaviours! As yet there is not a law stating when I must use the toilet. Think about building a house or adding a room and you are swamped with a huge amount of rules. Common sense is usually something that is missing. We need to get back to a bit of common sense, even if we require a review committee being set up to adjudicate where necessary . Get out there and vote, Raglan.

directly affected, and offering no viable alternative for them, is reckless. Their answer seems to be to tax the rich more.

The redistribution of wealth will fund this utopia and we will all be better off!

I suggest before they get too far down that track they should visit Cuba. What was a wealthy western country 50 years ago now has a population where all are equal - the doctors, the teachers , the cab drivers, and the hotel maids all earn the same amount each month (approx $20.00). Everyone gets the necessities of life, bread and rice every week and once every 3 months, a cake of soap.

While I would love to hear a plan that would mean we could live within our means I would hate New Zealand to end up like Cuba.

The biggest problem we have is that we are under populated and we have too many free loaders. Another 10 million people would help us become self sustainable, and until a Government recognises this and opens the door to suitable self funding immigrants, we will continue to go backwards.

There needs to be some honesty in Government. Policy needs to be made for the good of the country, not for the good of the Governments re-election chances or their mates.

The Local Government elections have once again brought out all the hopefuls - the ambitious, the do gooders, the misguided and the village idiots. I guess we will get the representatives we deserve and time will tell who of those elected will have a public conscience, or who are being driven by personal agendas.

Area Fishing Report:

by Raglan Wharf Seagull The last patch of good calm seas and weather saw excellent fishing off our coast 10 days ago. The weigh master spoke. You always listen to these people as they are our fishing barometers. Fish, snapper, to 20lbs and caught off Ruapuke beach. Say no more, we were off. At the 20m mark, Ruapuke beach, there were plenty of spiny shark, so we had to shift out to 30 metres. Success!

Snapper, gurnard, slimey mackerel, kahawai and trevally.

In just over three hours we had our limit. That’s good fishing. Both places we had kahawai workups with gannets and dolphins in the area.

Snapper were not in roe, its too early yet. The fish were well and truly on the bite and took all the bait we gave them, bonito, pillies, mackerel and kahawai. In fact with the slimy mackerel caught, we came home with more bait than we took out.

There were a number of other boats in this area and all would have got a fair feed.

Today we have those equinoctial winds blowing so it could be some time before most of us will get out again off the coast. Flounder are

still being caught in good numbers.

Locals waiting to check their nets were fishing in the upper harbour and lost three good trevally on their rods at the boat. Being soft mouthed fish they were able to get off. Exciting though. Whitebait has been lean pickings with a few fishermen getting around a pound. Word has it that the eggs were silted over on the banks and not released. We could get a late run of bigger fish in the weeks to come. Port Waikato has had some good hauls though.

Coming up – The Raglan Club Inc Fishing Section meets on Thursday the 19th Sept at 7.00pm with interesting speakers representatives from the Ministry for Primary Industries and Environment Waikato, and our local harbourmaster.

They will be covering our fishing and boating regulations and answering any questions from the forum floor.

Raglan Volunteer Coastguard AGM 2013, Tuesday 24th Sept at 7.00pm at the Perry Lounge, Gallagher Coastguard Base, Raglan Wharf.

See you out on the water, have fun, be responsible and play it safe.
