Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is caused by the deterioration of the cartilage between the joints resulting in pain and stiffness.

food such as meat and seafood and avoiding alcohol (particularly beer) and sugary drinks can help prevent gout attacks. Keep hydrated, consuming more water can protect against gout and others forms of arthritis. Fibromyalgia is another form of arthritis causing pain in the neck, shoulders, spine, and hips and is often accompanied by fatigue and sleeplessness. Fibromyalgia tends to run in families and mostly affects women. It appears to be triggered or aggravated by emotional or physical trauma such as an accident or illness. It is tricky to diagnose as symptoms are similar to polymyalgia rheumatic or lupus, and other diseases such as an abnormal thyroid and irritable bowel syndrome. Diagnosing the correct type of arthritis is important for obtaining the right kind of treatment, especially as a person may have more than one type of arthritis and or another kind of disability By ringing 0800 663 463 (or contacting www.arthritis,org.nz) people can learn to understand their arthritis and get help and support to manage the pain. Keeping active, eating a healthy diet and taking the appropriate medication can improve the quality of life.

Raglan waka ama crew paddling to success

Also at H.G Webb House, Cnr Boundary & Victoria Streets, Hamilton

etting goals and good honest training has paid off for Raglan waka ama crew at the 2017 Te Wānanga o Aotearoa Long Distance Nationals in Napier last weekend. Racing alongside 36 teams, Whāingaroa Whānau Hoe Waka team Nekeneke placed second in the Open Men’s 28km race, only the second time they have competed in the event having placed 14th in 2016. Ranging in age from 18 to 40, the triumphant team consisted of Taiko Rangiawha, Si Nguyen, Dave Cameron, Sean Dillon, Murray Clear and Daniel Kereopa. The other Whāingaroa Whanau Hoe Waka team Areare – Aaron Kereopa, Tare Kereopa, Hari Bassett, Wayne Trott, Wheturangi Tepania and Manu Le Gouais also competing in the race came 13th.

Crew combinations change depending on who is the strongest contender on the day and team captain Dave Cameron is quick to point out that all of the paddlers were equally capable of taking the second placing. “It’s hard to pick the top guys,” he says. “I could have used a few different combinations.” Training on the water in all conditions at least three days a week for the past 10 months and many more hours spent in the gym, Whāingaroa Whānau Hoe Waka upped their game from last year when they struggled even to get a team together. “This year we have raced a lot of races and the last four or ﬁve we have been in the front,” Dave says. Seen as the underdogs by many, Dave says their success was well received by the other teams, many with national representatives paddling in their waka.

“The ultimate goal was to get a medal but a top ﬁve placing would have been good as well.” Having made their mark in the long distance race, the club now head into the regional sprints in Karapiro in December and national sprints in January, where the female paddlers in the club will also be competing. Dave says they are in the perfect spot for waka ama training in Raglan and paddling in wind, rain and hail holds them in good stead for future winning performances. Although mainly self-funded, the club is thankful to the support of Raglan Surf Emporium for team uniforms. Great for cardio, stamina, strength and mental ﬁtness, Whāingaroa Whānau Hoe Waka is keen to sign up new paddlers of any age with an interest in waka ama – contact Dave on 022 074 1215 or check out their Facebook page Team Nekeneke.

Fighting crime with tamper-proof screws

would have thought crooks are your number plate? Whotargeting

Raglan Community Patrol Safer Plates Promotion Labour Weekend, Saturday 21 October The Club Car Park, Bow St Raglan 10am - 2pm Raglan Community Patrol, NZ Police and the Raglan Club would like to invite you to our Safer Plates fundraising event. We will be offering motorists the opportunity to have their number plate screws changed to a more secure, tamper deterrent screw. We will install your “Safer Plates Screws” for the cost of $5 per vehicle. So come down, have your screws changed, receive some great advice and enjoy! See you there! All proceeds from this fundraising event will go directly back into your local Community Patrol. Come along to this great event, meet your Local Patrol and your local Police. *Gold card holders entitled to 1 x set of screws and install free!

Up by 39 percent, number plate theft has risen over the past five years. Raglan Community Patrol want to help keep your car safe with a number plate screw swap this Labour weekend at the Raglan Club on Saturday, October 23 from 10am to 2pm. For $5 or a koha, depending on your means, Raglan Community Patrol coordinator Narina Hurst says the team will swap out your old screws with new tamper-proof screws that are removed by a special tool. “It’s important to know that your car is safe,” she says. As well as saving yourself the hassle of ordering and paying for new plates and reporting it to the police, Narina says you are also helping combat crime. “The number plates are put on other cars used in burglaries.” Other crimes connected to stolen number plates include petrol thefts, avoidance of traffic-related fines or tolls, shoplifting and robbery. Police figures show 22,206 number plates were reported stolen in New Zealand between 2011 and 2015.

As the ‘eyes and ears’ of the local police, Narina says hosting this event is just another way the Raglan Community Patrol can help keep the community safe and lessen the workload of the police. “There’s always someone (of the 15 patrol members) out day and night keeping a lookout for anything suspicious.” She advises people to report to the police when their number plates are stolen as it helps police keep a record of the stolen plates and many may think they have just fallen off. The Raglan Community Patrol is also looking to increase their team and Narina says they welcome new members to be part of a crime-busting team dedicated to keeping Raglan crime-free. The Raglan patrol is affiliated with Community Patrols of New Zealand and works closely with the local police. Applicants are vetted by the police and complete a period of training (usually three months) with senior patrollers. For more information about the Raglan Community Patrol contact Narina on 07 825 8473 and don’t forget to head to the Raglan Club this Saturday, October 23 from 10am till 2pm to swap out your number plate screws.

Art Talk with Ken Thomas: Exhibition of recent and new work

Ken's studio features some work from earlier in his painting career, featuring fluorescent surfboard paint.

ne of the great impressionist painters, Claude Monet, is credited with saying that, “for me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at any moment.”

It’s hard not to see the truth of this statement when you look at the changing landscapes of Ken Thomas’ paintings. Where some of us might see a breaking wave, rolling hills or a tree, for him, it’s often more about a moment in time or a mood, the difference in feel between the tides. “My work is inspired by nature and natural things. I’m more of a landscape kind of a guy, I focus on moods and I also do the odd portrait. Sort of impressionist I guess.” Mostly working with oils and varnishes, his paintings often start as a sketch which he develops into a study and then through to

paint where different spectrums of colours are reﬂected in layered considerations of the landscape. Ken also speaks of his love of music and the correlations he sees between art and music. “I’ve been part of a few underground bands and a huge amount of my friends are great musicians and I always see music as, not just writing a song, but performing, “it’s similar with painting too, it’s still a performance.” With loud music “always” being part of the painting process, you can almost see the vision of arms moving wildly coming through in Ken’s brushstrokes. He says he is more of a bass man and enjoys lots of percussion, musical inﬂuences that again seem to come through in the subtleties of his work. The rhythms in the

colours that he uses and an underlying mood that comes through like a groovy bassline. When the Chronicle visited Ken’s Raglan West studio he showed us some of his earlier work from the eighties which is crafted with house paint and ﬂuorescent surfboard paint. While the works are from around 30 years ago, you can see the bold brushstrokes and inherent vibrancy that you see in his work today. Ken recalls one of his earlier exhibitions held in Hamilton at what was called the Slaughter House Gallery, a butchery on any other day, owned by Peter Coddington at the back of where the Heart and Soul shop was located. “I had these big canvases all done with ﬂuoro surfboard paint. It was called A Pigment of Your Imagination.” He recalls with a grin.

Prior to painting full-time, Ken had a background in graphics and illustration, producing artwork and logos as well as clothing designs for Town and Country surfboards during the eighties. “Everything changed when things started going digital and I got more involved in shaping surfboards and painting which is more hands-on. Luckily I was producing stuff that was good enough to sell.” About the time he started painting, Ken also started Kina Boys, a clothing brand that some Raglan locals may recognise. An underground brand in the true sense of the word, Kina Boys was born while Ken was living on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawai’i. Some may also recall Fever Surfboards, a surﬁng label owned by Ken and Glen Campbell (under which Glen won a National surﬁng title), a satellite label to Hamilton’s Backdoor Surf Shop, which was also started by Ken. Ken will be returning to his old studio, Rock-it, for his latest exhibition showing 15 pieces of ‘Recent and New Work’. His pieces will be on display at Rock-it from this week with an auction to be held on November 18. Selling his artwork widely from London to New York as well as locally in Raglan, his paintings often sell out, with phone bidders sometimes attending his auctions on behalf of art collectors. There will not be any pre-sales so all pieces will be sold strictly by auction. Admitting that it is “always hard to let go,” of some of his paintings Ken has had his time with them and he plans to get straight back into new work once this exhibition is over and is thinking about trying out some new directions as well. M.N. Ken Thomas Exhibition – Recent and New Work. October 18 – November 18 at Rock-it, 248 Wainui Road. All works to be sold by auction on Saturday, November 18 at Rock-it, 3-5pm.

New-look tuck shop hopeful it has the recipes to success

ushi wraps or cones, mini muffins, popcorn and fruit, all neatly served up in a compostable “clamshell” container – the humble tuck shop has come a long way if the fare on the lunch order menu at Raglan Area School today is any indication.

Tomorrow it’s chicken or dahl curry on offer, in good-sized compostable cups. Come Mondays and Tuesdays there’ll be macaroni cheese and bean nachos. New canteen operator Maree Harris acknowledges the modern tuck shop is a far cry from her own school days when she might have tucked into a deep-fried lasagne topper or a slab of frozen cheesecake. And while there will still be sausage rolls in the pie-warmer, as of old, some vegies and lentils will be sneaked into her savoury mince mix. There’ll be no pies as such, she says, but the green pastizzi seen on the RAS lunchbox page

of Facebook “appears to be a winner”. It’s a puff pastry, vegetarian option – based on a recipe that originates from Malta – with a cheesy, eggy, spinach centre. As the new contractor, Maree’s been busy trialling various recipes at her Bayview Road home during the school holidays with five-year-old son Dizzy and daughter Lola, nearly three, her keen guinea pigs. And today, Thursday – with the re-opening of the tuck shop after a $5000 upgrade that includes a new oven and extractor fan – she was all good to go. While she hopes to introduce some more conventional fare along the way, like sandwiches and filled rolls, Maree will also be selling her own unique dizzyblocks – iceblocks made from mainly fruit – which retail at The Shack, Raglan’s monthly creative market and at the Whatawhata farm shop. Her background is in hospitality and with partner Liam Caulden-Lavers – a former chef but now a teacher at the school – taking on the canteen contract seemed like a “really convenient” thing to do as a family. “I’m trying to find somewhere in the middle between pre-packaged food – which is very costeffective and convenient – and healthier options,” she says. At the same time she acknowledges buying lunch is still a treat for kids so the choices need to be appealing. It’s about mixing classic favourites with the likes of sushi, for instance, to get the nutrition that complements learning. Area school principal Malcolm Cox told the Chronicle it has been quite a challenge to get the tuck shop of old fully compliant with new health and safety standards.

Maree getting ready for business in the upgraded canteen with brand new oven and extractor fan.

“It’s a whole different set-up,” he revealed of recent regulations which mean a licence is now needed to operate a school canteen as a small business. “It was not an easy transition.”

Championship Triples Winners L-R Ann Bouzaid, Blue Stephens and Heather Dalbeth.

ur first championship event, optional drawn triples, was held over the weekend and it was our first game on our wonderful grass green. Thanks to Terry Green and the green keeping team for their efforts as it has been too wet to play on up until now.

Eighteen players were selected into six teams of triples to challenge for this title. Having to win two games to qualify, we had three teams that managed that successfully. The post section on Sunday saw Terry Green’s team have the bye, leaving Colin Bouzaid, Denis Pizer and Alex Lorenzen to play off against Richard (Blue) Stephens, Heather Dalbeth and Ann Bouzaid. Blue’s team won this game and they went on to defeat Terry Green’s team including Les Schlager, and Pim Blair, to take out the triples championship title. Congratulations to you all. Our first aggregate event, the Harbourview Cup, held on September 23, was won by Eileen Stephens, Bill Bond and Jack Peel. The second Aggregate event, the Moore Cup, held on September 30, was won by Bill Bond and Murray Eddy. The mixed singles event, held on October 7, was played as a one-life system with a plate event

for the first round's losers. Some great bowls were played in these games which saw Colin Bouzaid defeat Maureen (Maws) Wahanga in the main event final, and Eileen Stephens defeating Sue Russell in the plate event. LABOUR WEEKEND BOWLS: Yes, our greens will be ‘open to the general public’ to come and join in on our roll-up day on Saturday at 1pm. Need to report in by 12.45pm please. Cosy is $2 per player. Flat soled shoes are a MUST. Contact Jim Boggiss 8257599 for all enquiries.

More than 100 Baha'i communities around New Zealand will be the first to hold festivities in a global day of celebration involving over 100,000 communities. Raglan Baha'is have already marked the occasion by planting a rimu tree in Wainui Bush Park Reserve. Tributes in honour of the bicentenary from local and national leaders around the world are continually pouring into Baha'i communities. In a recent message from the Rt.

Hon Bill English, Mr English acknowledged the significance of the anniversary and praised the country's diversity. Around 2,100 indigenous tribes, races, and ethnic groups are represented in the global Baha’i community, and Baha'i writings and other literature have been translated into more than 800 languages, including te reo Maori. Waikato Baha'i and small business owner, Babak Paymani, assisted in the Raglan tree planting. Mr Paymani originates from Iran, the birth country of the Baha'i Faith. He came to New Zealand as a young adult refugee to escape religious persecution. He has since married and has two Kiwi/ Iranian adult sons. “New Zealand gives us freedom to practice our religion without fear of victimization and denial of our human rights,” said Mr Paymani. “Although the Baha'i Faith is the biggest minority religious group in Iran, Baha'is have been subjected to continual and systematic persecution since the birth of the Faith in 1844.” Mr Paymani said people easily identify with the Faith's principle teachings of unity, equality and justice. “At the very heart of the Baha'i teachings is the well-being, happiness and progress of humanity.” The Raglan tree planting is just one of many events and activities being held in the Waikato to mark the bicentenary.
