RAGLAN HOSPITAL & REST HOME

Monday, February 5, sees Care and Craft recommencing their weekly meetings and the monthly Raglan Disability Support Group will restart on Wednesday, February 7. Both at the Stewart St Hall. The Senior Citizens meets on Thursday, February 8. The Raglan Disability Support Group was started in 1993 to provide a safe and caring environment for people with various disabilities and their caregivers. The group provides educational guidance and social contacts, and work in conjunction with the Community House and Age Concern. As well as speakers from different organisations in the local community, there are visits from agencies such as Dementia Waikato and Arthritis New Zealand, keeping the elderly in touch with their local community

and letting them know what help is available on a national level. Many of the original members and leaders have now passed on and the group is now run by members of Care and Craft. The Disability Support Group is open to all and welcomes new members and those who may have skills to help those less fortunate to have social contact, develop interests and gain more independence. The purpose of a Care and Craft Centre is to provide a range of interests and companionship for disabled adults or lonely, housebound people. Founded in Auckland in 1974 by Rewa Henderson, the idea quickly spread to many other areas in New Zealand. A change of focus and decline in numbers has led to the closure of several centres. However Raglan Care and Craft, which started over thirty years ago, still plays an important roll in supporting individuals and other senior groups. New members are welcome Pauline Abrahams

Young grocer on path to supermarket ownership

udding grocer Tim Frampton is a young man with a bright future according to his Four Square boss Satnam Bains.

Budding young grocer Tim Frampton is learning how to run a supermarket.

The 11-year-old from Whatawhata decided he wanted to own a supermarket one day and turned up at the Raglan supermarket asking if he could learn the ropes. “He just randomly started asking me questions and then he was back the next day at 6am,” Satnam says. That was Christmas Eve and Tim has been a regular fixture ever since. As well as the usual supermarket work of stocking shelves, Tim is also Raglan Four Square’s social media star with his weekly Tim’s Specials videos on Facebook. Already well-known to campers at the Kopua Holiday Park – he’s been camping there with his family since he was a baby, Tim frequently helps out with camp security patrols. On New Year’s Eve Tim put in time at the Four Square until closing and then headed to the campgrounds to do night patrols. “He’s a very hard worker,” Satnam says. When he’s not staying at the campground, Tim still manages to find his way to work from Whatawhata with Satnam picking him up off from time-to-time or he hitches a ride with the bread truck in the early hours of the morning. Satnam says Tim is like family now and has become a valued staff member, he was a life saver during the recent power cut and kept the supermarket open with his advice to use the portable scanner to verify prices at the checkout. “I also went around letting customers know it was cash only,” Tim says. And he was the first one to offer help after a car crashed into the Four Square’s storage area. In his spare time, Tim heads to the campground and skate park to hang out but Satnam says he always back at 9pm to help with pack down. Janine Jackson

Tarot Talk

his week's featured card is the Wheel of Fortune

This card can mean movement, change and evolution, but its primary meaning always seems to say that such changes will seem to come out of the blue - a stroke of good or unexpected fortune. Money will be available, that job, promotion, special person, break you’ve been waiting for will happen/ appear. There’s an element of karmic payback in this card. Remember that the wheel turns and if things are down at the moment, they’ll soon be back up again. This card can indicate that one cycle of your life is ending and another one will soon begin. You have ended one phase or cycle of learning and are ready to enter a new stage in life. Lucky opportunities may arise. When one door closes, another one opens. The Wheel can mean sudden change and can be related to work, home, relationships or lifestyle. Life will take a turn for the better – fate will take a hand and improve your fortunes – suddenly and dramatically. Remember that what goes up must come down. The Wheel turns so don’t take things for granted and protect yourself against the time when the Wheel turns again. This card can signify the need to make an important decision.

Jon Taylor installing his plug-in WaterSaver device.

aglan ratepayer and onetime electrician about town Jon Taylor reckons he always wanted to be a bit of an inventor – and his dream came true when he struck on an idea that can save people with water tanks big money. His plug-in WaterSaver device simply cuts in when a tank’s pump runs continuously for 30 minutes, shutting down accidental leaks. It can save those relying on stored water from having to pay for a whole truckload when supplies run out, Jon explains of the affordable off-the-shelf solution he describes as a “no-brainer”. Now living in Nelson – but back here this week distributing WaterSaver pamphlets rurally and also checking on his rental property – Jon revealed he got the brainwave while working with local company Stendy Electrical for seven years.

Address: Marine Parade,

Inglewood Office

Simple invention transforms former Raglan sparkie’s life

When out and about he’d often see tanks lose valuable water from burst pipes or running taps, for instance. In one case a digger had run over the main water pipe of a permaculture gardener, he recalls. “All these people were dependent on water in some way – for drinking, cooking, cleaning, bathing, flushing the toilet and often for feeding pets and livestock, gardening and irrigation.” So Jon set to work in his Ohautira Rd garage, “thinking outside the box” and devising a prototype which took him in 2015 to the finals of the Fieldays Technology Innovation Awards. That success allowed him to get funding and mentoring through the SODA Inc incubation programme. After moving down-country he also received funding from Nelson Angel investors for market research and production of a “minimum viable product”. Since late last year the sparkie-turnedinventor has been working fulltime for his own company.

The three-year transition from garage to “proper offices” and shareholders is definitely a dream come true, he told the Chronicle. “I always wanted to be a bit of an inventor.” While living in Raglan Jon also served briefly on the local community board – from late 2013 through to early 2015 – and as a DJ with Tractor FM. He was one of the four people who got ‘Rock-It Kitchen’ up and running. Jon says he’s just a “handy” kind of guy who can do handy things. He’s spent the past six months working on his marketing campaign, receiving “all positive” feedback. Installation of the device – which works by plugging a tank’s pressure pump into the WaterSaver unit, then plugging that into mains power – is simple, Jon says, needing neither a tradesperson nor installation manual. Currently available in New Zealand and Australia, the product sells for $249 through the company’s website. Edith Symes

Innovative technology used to clean and check Council’s wastewater network

aikato District Council has appointed a contractor to continue the cleaning and inspection of its wastewater network, work which was started in early 2017. The contractor, HyrdoTech, is also providing vacuum (or sucker trucks as they’re also known) on an as required basis to assist with the operation of the network, particularly emergency response. As part of the Wastewater Continual

Improvement Programme, a further 40 kilometres of council’s wastewater network will be cleaned and inspected in 2018. HydroTech will be using new camera technology when they do this work. A camera will be placed on the end of a jetting hose before it’s put down the pipes. “When the guys are cleaning the pipe they’ve got a tool that they’ll put on the end of the hose to put a camera in the pipe, which will check that the pipe is clean before the main, larger CCTV unit comes in,” HyrdoTech Managing Director Alan Hopkins says. “Not only will this save time, but cost too.” The work done by HydroTech is a

continuation of council’s commitment to maintaining and improving the district’s wastewater network to prevent overflows, Waikato District Council service delivery general manager Tim Harty says. In 2018, HydroTech will check and clean pipe networks in Tuakau, Pokeno, Meremere, Te Kauwhata, Ngaruawahia, Huntly and Raglan. They will also be completing smoke testing in high priority locations throughout the district. Residents in the areas they are working in will be fully informed that work is occurring prior to the contractor starting. Waikato District Council

Raglan Community House Raglan Arts Weekend Opportunity Shop is moving up delivers art trail magic

Art enthusiasts check out Chris Meek's artwork on display at Studeo gallery on Cross St. Image. // Leighton Davies.

Raglan Community House manager Mike Rarere, right, checks out the new shop with volunteers, from left, Raewyn Rapana and Jordon Barton.

he Raglan Community House Opportunity Shop has moved upstairs for a brighter retail outlook. House manager Mike Rarere is excited by the move and believes it increases the profile of the shop and makes it more accessible to the wider community. “The feedback about the other shop was it was difficult to find,” he says. “We can better support our volunteer workers now and the shop is more userfriendly for all the community.” Providing public toilet facilities, the community house is often the first pit stop for out-of-towners and Mike says the op shop is now in a prime position to capture these potential customers. In the future, he plans to encourage youth to volunteer at the shop to gain retail experience and hopes to set up a coffee machine to provide barista training.

Like all community organisations, Raglan Community House is reliant on grants and funding, and the relocation is part of a long term strategic plan to improve the sustainability of the community house. The basement area previously occupied by the shop is being developed into a multipurpose venue for meetings, staff training, youth activities and provides back-up space for town hall events such as Art to Wear. Mike is also keen to promote the facility for corporate events, and says Raglan’s cafes and outdoor activities are a drawcard for team building exercises for businesses in the wider Waikato. The improvements will also include moving the basement door to improve accessibility and landscaping the downstairs outdoor area. Mike is grateful for the support and hard work of volunteers, especially Bob and Sue Noble, and Helena Gillett. Janine Jackson

undreds of visitors from all over New Zealand hit the Raglan Arts Weekend (RAW) trail over the anniversary weekend. From Whale Bay to Te Mata, Ruapuke to the Wharf, Raglan artists opened their studios, galleries and homes over the threeday weekend. Raglan Old School Arts Centre manager Jacqueline Anderson says the unusual hot and humid conditions were a challenge for both artists and visitors, and may have slowed the art aficionados down in their travels. “Despite the toasty extremes it was a pleasure and delight to visit artist studios both new and experienced, with each artist rising to the challenge of opening their homes and studios and welcoming visitors. I’m sure all visitors took away a bit of creativity, a bit of imagination, a bit of inspiration, and left with a connection in some way to the artist they visited.” New to the arts weekend, wife and husband duo Sarah Bing and Dave Duffin say visitors to the gallery were steady throughout the weekend. Sarah treated visitors to art creation inaction as she worked on ceramic sculptures in the studio/gallery beneath the couple’s Upper Wainui home.

Also participating for the first-time, artist Gila Cohen from Ahoy Creative Crew says the exposure RAW provided for their gallery in Bankart St is invaluable, with out-oftowners and some locals visiting for the first time during the three-day weekend. The Emerging Artists Exhibition: No Rules Here at the town hall proved popular with visitors getting the opportunity to view the works of 26 local artists new to the art scene. Curator Maryann Tuao says the arts weekend provides up-and-coming artists with exposure to a large audience, and the chance to experience setting up an exhibition and talking to people about their work. “The highlight for the artists was the networking opportunities, selling their work and they were thrilled when some of the established Raglan artists visited the exhibition as well.” Jacqueline says the Raglan Community Arts Council thanks all the 2018 participating artists, the Whaingaroa community who supported local artists by bringing family and friends along to visit the artist studios and RAW major sponsors Tony Sly Pottery, Waikato District Creative Communities NZ, Waikato District Council and local business advertisers. “They all contributed to making our little arts weekend the success that it was.” Janine Jackson

Heading back to school can cause stress for both parents and kids.

ummer holidays are ending and it’s time to go back to school. While for

parents, this may come as a welcome relief from the constant noise and busyness of having a house full of kids, for the children themselves this can be a nervous and exciting time. Settling into that first week can be stressful for both parent and child. Here are some herbs and supplements to help get them through: Withania: A gentle nervous and stress tonic with nutritive properties, especially

indicated for the underweight and/or low immunity child. Chamomile: Is a classis herbal remedy for the restlessness and nervous irritability of a child. Can be used in a tonic or a tea at night to promote restful sleep. Echinacea: If your child is susceptible to picking up infections, small doses of Echinacea daily can help build the immune system ready for the onslaught of new bugs that they will be exposed to. Healing Blend Cream: Great for playground cuts and grazes, itchy bites that may be starting to get infected or any other schoolyard ailments.

Bach flowers: Walnut – For times of change. The start of a school year can bring a lot of “new” which can be quite unsettling. Walnut helps to protect and ease into new situations. Mimulus – For the fearful, nervous and shy child. Different school, a new teacher or unfamiliar faces can all be frightening and contribute to the back to school jitters. The calming and reassuring properties of mimulus are always welcome in these situations. The Herbal Dispensary 07 825 7444

Sands of time

Continuing our occasional history series, we look back to Whaingaroa a century ago – 1918

The 1918c. Harbour View Hotel celebrations.

century ago, the Great War continued most of the year and troops were still being enlisted until shortly before the German Armistice in November 1918. However, each armistice was celebrated, starting with the surrender of Bulgaria at the end of September. Does anyone know which was being celebrated in the photo above of the Harbour View Hotel? Of the 20 soldiers from Whaingaroa who died in the 4 years of war, eight died in 1918, though only three on active service with the rest dying from injuries or disease.

The last three were all farmers and only arrived in Europe in 1917 or 1918. They died in a small area of northern France, within three months of the final armistice. Gordon Ferriman moved to Puketutu, on the Waitetuna River, just beyond Te Uku, with his family about 1910. He left on June 5, 1918, arrived at Liverpool on July 31, and was 21 years old when he was killed on October 24 at Le Mesnil. Another son, Joe, also went to war, but returned to the farm Puketutu. Patrick Phelan was one of 8,530 names drawn in the May 1917 ballot for military service. He'd recently married and started farming at Lake Disappear, beside the Kawhia road. At a Military Appeal Board in June he said his two brothers had gone to the front, one being recently killed, which

left no one to run his farm. The Board was not sympathetic. They suggested someone be put in charge and gave him two months to arrange it. On December 31, 1917 he sailed from Wellington, reaching Glasgow on February 25, 1918. In May 1918, he was wounded and in hospital. He died, aged 34, at the start of the Second Battle of Le Cateau (October 8-12; the first battle was in 1914), where 536 died. The only brother to survive the war was Francis. Henry Lionel Coate worked on a family farm at the back of the harbour. He left Trentham Camp on April 26, 1917, arriving at Plymouth on July 19, and being killed just over a year later, aged 31, on August 26 at Bapaume. The Military Appeal Board was also unsympathetic when Alf Galvan appealed. He said Te Akau farmers depended on his ferry to get mail and supplies and he was the only one who'd applied to be ferryman. The Board said his brother should study for an enginedriver's certificate and become ferryman, giving Alf until May 9, 1918, though he didn't go to Featherston Camp until October. Thus he was in the camp when the influenza epidemic was at its height. His mother, Sarah Ann, travelled from Raglan to see him when he was ill, but she too sickened on her way home. George Blackett had retired as Raglan school headmaster in 1917 and, when the epidemic struck in October to November 1918, his wife, a nurse, transformed the Stewart St school into a 34-bed hospital. Mrs Galvan died there on October 22. Her son died at Featherston on November 14. Andrew Hume, a Kauroa farmer, and Francis Bulford, son of Raglan's first policeman, also died in the epidemic. Another 1918 death was J. W. Ellis, who was Mayor of Hamilton, but had been a trader at Motakotako, just north of Aotea

Harbour, in the 1870s. He later went on to form the timber company, Ellis & Burnand, which was, much more recently, merged into Placemakers. When a kiwi was killed by a car near Te Mata, the news report said they would soon be like the moa – a thing of the past. However, a Bryant Reserve management plan as late as 1981 did mention kiwi. 1918 wasn't just a year of death and destruction. Te Akau gained a new phone cable across the harbour and a new wharf and goods shed. Road transport was increasing, but much still travelled by water and the steamer from Onehunga called weekly, except when disrupted by the flu epidemic. [for a photo of Te Akau wharf and shed see https://natlib.govt.nz/records/23159639] The Wallis St causeway across Aro Aro was almost complete. However, the Waikato Times thought an opportunity was missed for the sake of £56. That was the amount the council wouldn't agree to pay for a floodgate to create what the paper described as, “an ideal salt water lake in which bathing could be safely indulged in”, by converting, “what is now an unsightly mud flat at low water into a permanent and beautiful lake”. In the 1960s a flood gate was installed to keep the tides out, though a 1978 report questioned whether it had been given official approval. Roads continued to get gravel spread over the mud, with loans taken for Creek St (now Wainui Rd), to Opotoru bridge, and for a further 8 miles of the main road. In 1918 a new Methodist manse was built. It lasted until 1989. So 1918 hasn't left a great deal other than the Wallis St causeway, though the war memorial followed in 1922 and gravel laying on the main road allowed the last patch of mud to be covered in 1921.
