RAGLAN Â TRUST HOSPITAL

To  the  Editor, I  am  writing  in  support  of  Clint  Baddeley  in  the  upcoming  local  Body  Elections.

I  have  known  Clint  for  30+  years  and  have  been  very  happy  having  him  represent  myself  and  my  family  as  the  Ward  Councilor  for  Raglan.

He  has  had  enough  experience  with  the  Raglan  community  to  professionally  oversee  the  improvements  and  changes  that  are  proposed  in  this  beautiful  environment  we  are  blessed  to  live  in,  but  in  a  way  that  still  preserves  the  identity  of  Raglan  as  we  know  it.

Clint  is  always  approachable  and  accessible  to  discuss  openly  &  fairly  any  issues  people  may  have.

He  is  also  supportive  of  all  the  varying  groups  within  the  community  and  is  very  passionate  about  the  wellbeing  of  Raglan  &  its  surrounding  rural  areas.  Chris  Leuthart,  Raglan Dear  Editor At  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meet-­the-­candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  event  on  Saturday  I  found  the  response  to  the  question  about  water  meters  puzzling.  It  was  answered  by  Cr  Clint  Baddeley  who  said  water  meters  were  needed  to  avoid  the  risk  of  excess  consumption  lowering  the  aquifer,  thus  allowing  salt  water  to  get  into  our  water  supply.

This  is  a  problem  in  areas  such  as  Canterbury,  but  Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  water  comes  from  a  spring  some  20  metres  above  sea Â

level  and  400  metres  from  the  creek.  ,WÂśV IHG E\ PRXQWDLQ ZDWHU DQG Ă&#x20AC;RZV strongly  come  rain  or  drought.  The  only  SXPSLQJ LV WR WDNH VRPH RI WKDW Ă&#x20AC;RZ XS to  the  water  tower.

Chair  of  the  Community  Board,  Rodger  Gallagher,  is  now  asking  for  a  copy  of  the  report  Cr  Baddeley  was  referring  to.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  be  interested  to  see  what  relevance  salt  water  has  to  explaining  ZK\ RYHU D P LV EHLQJ VSHQW WR ÂżW meters  in  Raglan.  If  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  no  other  explanation,  why  is  so  much  being  spent?  Why  have  our  water  rates  risen  12%  this  year,  with  a  similar  increase  planned  next  year?

Regards   John  Lawson,  Raglan To  the  Editor, We  would  like  to  send  a  letter  of  thanks  to  the  outgoing  Community  Board  for  their  hard  work  on  behalf  of  our  community.

Their  role  is  generally  a  thankless  one  and  the  work  they  do  goes  largely  unremarked  and  rarely  applauded  by  the  majority  but  we  are  aware  of  the  considerable  time  that  is  involved  in  carrying  out  their  duties  and  offer  our  thanks.   Rodger  Gallagher  has,  in  our  opinion,  been  an  outstanding  and  hugely  dedicated  Chair.   His  oversight  and  attention  to  detail  has  been  remarkable  and  will  be  sorely  missed.   Thank  you  Rodger  and  all  the  members  for  your  work  and  we  also  extend  our  best  wishes  to  the  incoming  Board.

Colin  and  Chrissy  Hodkinson,  Raglan

Water, water everywhere as storm lashes Raglan

T

hursday  of  last  week  was  not  a  good  time  to  be  delivering  mail  or  circulars  around  Raglan,  with  letterboxes  presenting  as  many  water  hazards  as  a  Florida  golf  course  after  the  biggest  deluge  many  longtime  locals  can  recall.

Chartered Accountants 7147948AA

The  big  wet  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  part  of  a  violent  storm  that  swept  XS WKH FRXQWU\ Âą FDXVHG Ă&#x20AC;DVK Ă&#x20AC;RRGLQJ LQ PDQ\ SDUWV of  town,  turned  streams  into  raging  torrents  and  left  Whaingaroa  Harbour  a  muddy  brown  for  days  afterwards.

One  of  the  worst  affected  areas  was  Wainui  Bush  Park  where  the  usually  sedate,  meandering  stream  became  a  wall  of  water  that  ripped  out  newly  planted  trees  and  scoured  out  low-­lying  undergrowth.   Friends  of  Wainui  Reserve  volunteers  recovered  and  replanted  the  young  trees.

Further  downstream,  Whaingaroa  Harbour  Care  staff  moved  saplings  in  their  nursery  to  higher  ground  to  avoid  a  repeat  of  an  incident  a  couple  of  months  previously  when  they  lost  a  large  number  of  \RXQJ WUHHV WR Ă&#x20AC;RRGLQJ Across  the  road  from  Wainui  Bush  Park,  YROXQWHHU ÂżUHÂżJKWHUV UHGLUHFWHG Ă&#x20AC;RRGZDWHUV ZKLFK were  threatening  a  house.

The  Raglan  brigade  was  also  called  out  to  Te  Mata  Road,  where  a  fallen  tree  near  Sayers  Landscape  Supplies  had  completely  blocked  the  road.

A  swollen  Waitetuna  River  also  forced  road  closures  on  Old  Mountain  and  Waitetuna  Valley  5RDGV ZKLOH EDFN RQ 5DJODQœV RXWVNLUWV WUDI¿F ZDV reduced  to  one  lane  by  a  slip  on  SH23  just  east  of  Greenslade  Road.

Store donation box helps out when chips are down

www.surfside.co.nz

A  donation  box  on  the  counter  of  Te  Kopua  Camp  Store,  containing  more  than  $300  by  the  start  of  the  season,  meant  four  more  children  got  to  play  in  Raglan  Junior  Soccer  Club  this  year  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  that  made  life  a  whole  lot  easier  for  those  parents  with  a  few  kids  playing  the  game.

But  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  what  community  is  all  about,  says  Jo  Thompson  whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  run  her  takeaway  business  at  the  domain  for  more  than  seven  years  now.  Determined  to  keep  the  donation  box  going,  sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  convinced  the  cause  makes  people  give  a  little  bit  more.  And  when  nearby  campers  come  to  buy  an  onion,  for  instance,  to  cook  dinner  in  their  caravan,  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  happy  at  Joâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  suggestion  they  make  a  donation  rather  than  pay  her  across  the  counter.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;One  lady  gave  $4  for  an  onion!â&#x20AC;?  she  recalls.  Joâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  even  had  the  odd  parent  come  and  thank  her  for  sponsoring  their  child.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  do  it  for  recompense,  do  you  â&#x20AC;Ś  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  just  what  you  do  when  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  in  a  community.â&#x20AC;?

And  the  weekly  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Player  of  the  Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  meal  vouchers,  one  for  each  local  team  playing  Saturdays  at  Kopua  domain,  have  been  coming  from  the  camp  store  for  years  now.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  actually  part  of  Joâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  contract,  she  reveals,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;but  I  wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  done  it  anywayâ&#x20AC;?.

Not  only  does  she  solo  parent  four  of  her  six  children  still  at  home  in  Lorenzen  Bay  Road,  but  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  three  foster  children  to  care  for  too.

Coastguard Raglan buoyed by four award wins

C

oastguard Raglan is celebrating the receipt of three awards at the recent Coastguard Northern Region’s annual awards ceremony, and a further award at the National Coastguard Gala Awards Evening.

Coastguard Raglan volunteer Kevin Dreaver scooped the Coastguard Rescue Vessel Volunteer of the Year Award at the National Coastguard Gala Awards Evening held in Taupo on Saturday. In addition, he was awarded the same honour by Coastguard Northern Region at their AGM held on Tuesday last week at Auckland Marine Rescue Centre.

Following hot on the heels of his dual success, Wally Hawken from Coastguard Raglan won Regional Volunteer of the Year and the Raglan Unit took home Regional Unit of the Year at Coastguard Northern Region’s event.

Mr Dreaver was honoured for demonstrating leadership, vision and unwavering commitment during 14 years at Coastguard.

The positions he has held within the Unit include Coastguard Raglan President for seven years, Media Liaison, vessel Skipper and local Marine SAR Advisor.

Coastguard New Zealand President, Dean Lawrence says, “Kevin knows Coastguard Raglan inside and out, as a Skipper and Unit leader he provides training and support to his team. Kevin happily shares his knowledge of Coastguard locally and nationally. He is a true leader and an outstanding member of the Coastguard family.

“Wally, who is the current President of the Unit, has been an active member of Coastguard Raglan for the past four years. Always ready to tackle any aspect of Unit operations, Wally has made valuable contributions to Unit administration, training,

fundraising, community awareness and stakeholder engagement. His open door, can-­do attitude and ability to think outside the square make him an absolute asset to Coastguard Raglan and the wider organisation.

“Our crews couldn’t do their jobs without people like Kevin and Wally. They have both shown an unwavering commitment and are a credit to themselves and the Unit. To be awarded Unit of the Year as well is a real testament to the whole team. They should all feel very proud of these achievements which are an acknowledgement of their

hard work and dedication.”

Giltrap VW, who sponsored Coastguard Northern Region’s Rescue Vessel Volunteer of the Year Award, is a major sponsor of the organisation. Lee Small, General Manager of Giltrap VW said, “It’s not possible WR SODFH D ¿QDQFLDO YDOXH RQ the service the Coastguard provides for Kiwis nationwide. We’re delighted that once again we can help support their ongoing mission to save lives both at sea and on the water. We hope that Wally will enjoy his prize which is well deserved.”

Get set for going digital

A

nalogue TV is set to become a thing of the past when the upper North Island completes New Zealand’s digital roll-­out in less than three months’ time.

From 1 December, you’ll need Freeview, IGLOO or SKY to keep up with everything from Shortland Street and Coro, right though to the 6 o’ clock news.

New Zealand isn’t alone in moving to digital TV. Countries in the Americas, Asia, Europe and Africa have also made or are making the switch. Australia is at a similar stage in the process to New Zealand.

Of course, in the age of Smart phones and tablets, digital versus analogue television is a no-­brainer.

Digital transmissions free up the airwaves for new technology like new-­generation mobile phone services, which allow faster connections and the ability to GRZQORDG ELJJHU ¿OHV Going Digital National Manager Greg Harford is advising the eight per cent of upper North Island households that are yet to go digital to start planning for the change as soon as they can.

He says that, while people don’t need to buy a new TV, they will need to decide which option suits them best.

“It’s a wise idea to plan ahead and to budget for any new HTXLSPHQW 7KH ¿UVW VWHS LV WR ADVERTORIAL

check your set up and to look at the options available in your area.”

“People can choose to watch free-­to-­air channels by getting a Freeview or IGLOO set-­top box or a TV with Freeview built in.

Alternatively, they can subscribe to a pay-­TV service like SKY or IGLOO’s pay-­as-­you-­go service.”

To make sure you’re set for December 1, Mr. Harford suggests checking whether or not you’ve already gone digital. If you have an onscreen programme guide and at least 13 channels, including Choice TV, TV1+1 and TV3+1, you don’t need to do anything else.

If you haven’t already gone digital you’ll need to do the following: 1. Check what kind of aerial do you have. This will help you decide what equipment you need.

2. Type your address into www.goingdigital.co.nz/myhouse WR ¿QG RXW ZKLFK VHUYLFHV DUH available in your street.

3. Ask friends and family if they’ve gone digital and for advice on what they did.

4. Start shopping around for the best deals. Consumer Magazine has published a guide on the likely FRVW RI JRLQJ GLJLWDO <RX FDQ ¿QG this at www.goingdigital.co.nz/ what-­you-­ll-­need/price-­guide.

5. Budget for what you need.

If you need help with budgeting Family Budgeting Service can help, visit www.familybudgeting. org.nz or phone Freephone 0508 BUDGETLINE (283 438).

Raglan Junior Soccer Club Prizegiving 2013 On  Saturday  7th  September,  Raglan  Junior  Soccer  held  their  Prizegiving  at  Raglan  Area  School  Hall.  This  marked  the  end  of  another  successful  season  for  the  club  which  continues  to  grow.   Many  of  the  new  players  were  in  the  under  6  age  group  but  last  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  all-­ girls  team,  the  Dolphins,  also  inspired  heaps  more  girls  to  join  leading  to  the  development  of  a  second  all-­girls  team  along  with  another  being  a  50/50  split  between  boys  and  girls.   We  also  had  4  players,  Adi-­Grace  Mooar,  Jet  Hughes,  Levi  White  and  Jordan  Breckon-­Mooar,   who  successfully  trialled  for  Waikato  Reps  this  season.

RJS  would  like  to  thank  all  the  coaches,  managers  and  parents  helpers,  all  of  whom  contribute  to  the  success  of  the  club.  We  would  also  like  to  thank  Jo  from  the  Campground  Store  for  her  tremendous  support  of  providing  Player  of  the  Day  for  all  of  our  teams,  sponsoring  4  children  to  play  soccer  this  season  and  for  generally  looking  after  the  club  and  its  members.  We  would  also  like  to  thank  Raglan  Area  School  for  allowing  us  to  use  the  school  hall  on  occasion  DQG WR .DUHQ LQ WKH RIÂżFH IRU WDNLQJ WKH clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  team  photos.  Also  we  would  like  to  thank  the  Nautilius  Foundation,  Ray  White  and  the  Community  Board  for  their  help  with  the  clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  new  jerseys.  Lastly  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  also  like  to  thank  Waikato  District  Council  for  the  work  they  have  GRQH RQ WKH GUDLQDJH IRU RXU VRJJ\ ÂżHOGV this  year.

One  family  have  done  extremely  well  with  all  3  boys  taking  the  Best  All  Rounder  awards  for  their  respective  teams,  Dekan  Papa  (age  4),  Tukiri  Papa  (age  5)  and  Duran  Wipani  (age  9).  Well  done  boys!  Dekan,  Tukiri  and  Duran  are  following  their  Mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  talent  and  love  of  football.  Vikki  played  football  from  a  young  age  and  played  for  the  Waikato  Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  team  and  at  national  level  for  some  time.   At  that  time  female  soccer  players  were  almost  frowned  upon  so  she  is  pleased  to  see  so  many  young  girls  playing  now.

This  year  the  award  for  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Most  Successful  Teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  of  the  season  is  a  tie  and  is  shared  between  the  7th  Grade  Stingrays  team  and  the  Open  Grade  Bullsharks  team.  The  Silver  Cup  will  be  on  display  at  Joâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Camp  Store  for  all  to  see.  Congrats  to  the  Stingrays  and  Bullsharks.

Coach  Johnny  Regnier  is  celebrating  the  Bullsharks  success  this  season  by  taking  the  team  on  a  trip  to  Wellington  to  see  the  All  Whites  play  in  November.  They  need  to  raise  a  bit  of  cash  to  help  them  get  there  so  please  look  out  for  their  fundraising  activities  around  town.

Some  of  the  teams  have  one  more  5  a  side  tournament  to  attend  this  weekend,  21/22  September  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  so  good  luck  to  all  those  participating.

We  look  forward  to  seeing  our  existing  players  again  next  season  and  also  to  welcoming  new  players  in  2014.  Watch  this  space  for  muster  details  early  next  year.

Raglan residents reassured Waikato  District  Council  is  reassuring  Raglan  residents  that  its  wastewater  treatment  plant  is  more  than  capable  of  handling  current,  and  future,  wastewater  activity.  At  Septemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Raglan  Community  Board  meeting,  committee  members  raised  concerns  of  an  increasing  community  perception  regarding  the  plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ability  to  cope  with  increased  activity,  particularly  from  development  in  the  area  and  Whaanga  Coast  joining  the  network.  Waikato  District  Council  General  Manager  Service  Delivery,  Tim  Harty,  says  Council  appreciates  and  understands  the  concerns  expressed  by  the  community  KRZHYHU WKH RYHUĂ&#x20AC;RZ ZDV QRW D FDSDFLW\ LVVXH  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Raglan  wastewater  treatment  plant  is  more  than  capable  of  handling  an  increase  in  wastewater  and  FXUUHQWO\ GDLO\ Ă&#x20AC;RZV WKURXJK WKH WUHDWPHQW SODQW DUH around  half  of  the  maximum  capacity  allowed.â&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  plant  is  designed  to  cope  with  busy  periods  and  future  growth  in  the  community  while  maintaining  compliance  with  the  conditions  of  the  consent.â&#x20AC;?

An  independent  review  released  earlier  this  month  LQWR WKH -XQH RYHUĂ&#x20AC;RZ VKRZHG D QXPEHU RI IDFWRUV FRQWULEXWHG WR WKH RYHUĂ&#x20AC;RZ LQFOXGLQJ WKH IDLOXUH RI WKH discharge  pumps  to  start  operating  and  a  lack  of  alarms  in  the  event  of  a  pump  failure.

Apathy rules but election meeting has its moments Raglan  revealed  last  Saturday  what  Residents  and  Ratepayers  Association  president  Bob  MacLeod  termed  â&#x20AC;&#x153;its  usual  apathetic  selfâ&#x20AC;?  over  local  elections,  with  fewer  than  30  people  turning  out  to  the  associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  meet-­the-­candidates  meeting  at  the  town  hall.

But  those  who  did  make  the  effort  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  they  were  almost  entirely  the  grey  brigade  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  would  have  come  away  from  the  near  two-­ hour  talkfest  better  informed  than  most  in  the  community  on  who  they  should  vote  for  as  their  Raglan  ward  councillor.

And  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  nothing  to  sneeze  at  considering  the  traditionally  low  vote  and  that  the  winning  margin  in  the  ward  councillor  race  last  time  around  was  only  23-­odd  votes.

Saturday  morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  meeting  saw  ward  candidates  Alan  Vink  and  Clint  Baddeley  separated  at  the  top  table  by  new  community  board  member  Jon  Taylor,  who  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  need  DQ\ YRWHV DV KH DQG WKH RWKHU ÂżYH QRPLQHHV KDYH DXWRPDWLFDOO\ ÂżOOHG WKH VL[ ERDUG VHDWV And  while  a  second  candidates  table  at  the  front  sat  empty,  current  Waikato  district  mayor  Allan  Sanson  and  mayoral  challenger  Noel  Smith  regularly  chipped  in  from  the  audience  with  their  views  on  Raglan  issues.

It  was  a  meeting  which  had  its  moments,  with  Alan  clearly  bristling  at  one  stage  during  question  time  and  Clint,  the  sitting  councillor,  showing  his  annoyance  at  repeated  questions  over  two  issues.

The  meeting  began  with  Alan  promising  a  fresh  perspective  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  his  campaign  slogan  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  that  is  all  about  attentive  listening  and  good  consultation  to  produce  good  outcomes  for  the  community,  while  Clint  in  his  opening  remarks  emphasised  all  that  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  achieved  for  Raglan  in  nine  years  of  hard  work  and  said  his  simple  philosophy  was  â&#x20AC;&#x153;to  get  things  doneâ&#x20AC;?.

Then  it  was  time  for  meeting  moderator  Peter  Storey  to  put  a  string  of  prepared  questions  to  the  pair,  and  anyone  who  thought  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  all  be  of  the  patsy  variety  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  with  the  answers  well  rehearsed  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  soon  found  out  otherwise.

When  questions  turned  to  how  the  candidates  felt  about  Raglan  being  promoted  as  a  venue  for  same-­sex  weddings,  it  began  to  feel  there  had  been  something  of  a  question-­ time  hijack  by  one  or  two  locals  with  personal  agendas.   But  neither  candidate  saw  a  problem  with  it.  Clint  meanwhile  showed  his  annoyance  at  repeated  questioning  from  council  watchdog  John  Lawson  on  bus  services  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  retorting  at  one  point  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;buses  every  quarter  hour  is  ridiculousâ&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  on  why  the  council  was Â

going  to  discuss  the  Rangitaha  peninsula  housing  issue  this  week  with  the  public  excluded.

Clint  and  the  two  mayoral  candidates  would  not  be  drawn  on  the  planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  merits  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  even  though  Clint  acknowledged  he  had  sought  the  communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  views,  and  felt  the  zone  change  application  should  be  handled  by  independent  commissioners.  However  they  all  stressed  it  was  good  the  matter  was  out  of  the  Environment  Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hands  and  instead  with  the  council  where  it  would  be  SXEOLFO\ QRWLÂżHG DQG WKH FRPPXQLW\ consulted.

For  his  part  Alan  was  happy  to  reveal  he  was  for  the  development  in  principle,  saying  it  was  a  well-­planned  project  by Â

a  very  good  sustainability-­conscious  developer.

Other  questions  revealed  minor  differences  between  the  pair  on  freedom  camping  and  handling  of  the  recycling  contract  but  broad  agreement  on  the  need  for  a  structure  plan  and  the  current  liquor  ban.  In  wrapping  up  Clint  reiterated  his  â&#x20AC;&#x153;one  agenda,  to  get  a  few  things  doneâ&#x20AC;?  and  Alan  promised  a  different  style  of  representation  where  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  work  hard  at  bringing  opposing  viewpoints  to  agreement.

Raglan Junior Rugby Club: What a season

Letters: To  the  Editor, I  am  pleased  to  receive  a  letter  from  the  CEO  of  the  Waikato  District  Council  (WDC)  regarding  my  submission  to  the  Waikato  District  Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  draft  second  year  of  their  Long  Term  Plan  (LTP)  â&#x20AC;&#x153;also  known  as  the  2013/2014  Annual  Plan.â&#x20AC;?  My  submission  noted  that,  having  been  present  at  the  various  consultations  for  the  LTP  as  the  Raglan  Councillor  2001-­2004,  I  was  dismayed  to  read  online  from  the  WDC  site  that,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Finance  Committee  chaired  by  the  present  Raglan  Councillor  Clint  Baddeley  regarding  a  large  proposed  â&#x20AC;&#x153;private  planâ&#x20AC;?  housing  development  in  Raglan  which  could  double  the  present  population,  the  Chairman  of  the  Community  Board  and  community  advocate  John  Lawson  were  excluded.  I  found  this  totally  unacceptable,  from  both  a  political  and  ethical  viewpoint,  and  am  surprised  that  WDC  Mayor  Sanson  allowed  it.  I  hope  that  voters  will  take  these  behaviours  into  account  in  their  voting  intentions  for  the  coming  Local  Body  elections.

To  quote  his  letter  to  me,  the  CEO  of  Waikato  District  Council  says  that:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waikato  District  Council  is  working  towards  greater  transparency  and  improved  consultation.  We  want  to  be  able  to  utilise  legislative  processes  so  that  they  enhance  participation  and  we  want  to  be  able  to  engage  with  our  communities  more  effectively,  consistently  and  as  early  as  possible  in  a  less  formal  and  more  relevant  way.  In  order  for  us  to  implement  and  improve  our  consultation  methods  we  are  currently  developing  a  Community  Engagement  Strategy,  which  is  being  developed  with  the  support  of  community  representatives.â&#x20AC;?

If  this  means  excluding  the  Chairman  of  the  Raglan  Community  Board  from  a  meeting  concerning  a  resource  management  development  of  fundamental  importance  to  its  local  community  and  chaired  by  its  own  Ward  Councillor,  I  wonder  what  the  rest  of  this  statement  implies,  given  that  the  WDC  has  recently  made  redundant  about  20  staff  at  a  cost  to  ratepayers  (one  assumes)  of  $1m,  according  to  press  reports.

Bring  on  the  elections!

Sincerely Dr  Lesley  Syme,  Raglan  Ward  Councillor  2001-­ 2004

Brae Wilson from 6th grade.

MY MISSING DOG

It has now been one month since our beloved dog went missing in a thunder storm at Te Mata. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still asking for any information regarding his disappearance.

If you know if he is dead or alive please contact me or even anonymously let me know. With the passage of time we are becoming less hopeful that he is still alive but the not knowing is taking a big toll on us. Someone out there must know what has happened to him or where he is.
