aglan Surf Co has been an iconic part of the culture and personality of Whaingaroa since it opened in 1992.

Craig and Liz Hughes opened the shop at the original location on Wainui Road and when Craig passed away in 2013, their son Luke took over the business. In 2017 they moved to their current location in the historic Vinnies building. Luke and I sat down in the boardroom to have a chat about the legacy of Raglan Surf Co and what the future looks like for them.

happened! But I guess if I was to summarise in one word, I would say I'm proud.

Hi Luke, how are you feeling about Raglan Surf Co’s 30th Birthday?

There was a really cool rapport going on, the number of surfers that would come to town and get their food at Vinnies then come into the shop. It's crazy to look at it now, that we've ended up investing in that building and it's now the foundation of our future and my kids are growing up here. There is a big whanau community involvement that is present and that is a pretty important motivator to our business.

You know, it’s kinda funny, I never thought of business as a succession, I just grew up in the foundations of this business. I look back 30 years, to 1992 when we first took over properly from Matt Holl. I look back on the photos that we have of the business back then, the shop, the boards and I remember that so clearly. For me to then fast forward the clock 30 years to now, a lot has

The Hughes’ family and the shop have been a huge part of my life and to me Surf Co represents this community and family spirit. So much has changed in 30 years but I don't think that has. How do you nurture that vibe?

Well, our building houses so much history for this community that it's quite ironic that we have ended up here of all places. The fact that I grew up in Whale Bay with Rhonda and Colin’s kids who were running Vinnies here at the time and through the 90s and 00s, Surf Co and Vinnies were iconic in the community and existed side by side for years.

Obviously you still have to be business minded and financially aware, you have to be present in

The original Raglan Surf Co circa. 1992 located next to Vinnie's on Wainui Rd. this ever changing environment, which is what we have done for the last 30 years. We appreciate this community and the people that live here. I think it’s why we have had so much support because people see that it's a big part of who we are. Our family has also done our best to try and support other businesses and people in our community, whether that's through the Point Boardriders or the school.

Speaking of rolling with the punches, how has running a business through Covid been for you?

Well, I look back on things I've been through and some of those earlier challenges, like losing dad and having to make the choice about taking over the business, that’s taught me a lot of lessons and given me the skills to problem solve and be versatile and you've just got a bit of grit there. It's all about perspective.

Don't get me wrong, it hasn’t been easy, it was pretty stressful.

I have a lot of people that I value that I can gain sound advice from. In that uncharted territory, I wasn't in control of a lot of parts, so I looked at my strengths and what I could control. A huge component of that was honing in on our specialty; surf gear and our Raglan brand. I worked on my strengths rather than trying to compete against the circumstances.

You took over the board manufacturing after Craig died, how have you navigated through that side of the business?

Taking on the responsibility of the store was one thing but to take over the board manufacturing, that was a job in itself and that came with a lot of pressure.

Dad had built up this reputation of over four decades of being in the industry and he had one of the most progressive and well respected surfboard shaping factories in the country. When he got sick, he said he felt his factory was the best it had ever been. At that time, he was making the boards and I was helping him further develop the customer service online presence.

I had learnt a lot about board concepts and design from being in the store but also through my competitive surfing career. I was in this position to learn about the boards through that realm, so when dad's condition worsened, we had an operating factory and we had to figure out a way to keep the boards turning over.

I decided to take on that responsibility and it was pretty stressful. At the time, dad was world renowned for his skill and calibre and there were times there when it all felt pretty heavy. Not just to take on the business, but the pressure to take on your father’s name, in craft. Fast forward to now and here we are, upstairs in the boardroom, it's kinda cool.

The way I look at it now, when I'm in the shaping bay and I've been through this consultation process with the customer, we talk about where their surfing is at, where they aspire to go, what they are currently riding and I take so many more steps to analyse their equipment choice and what will help them improve.

That's what surfing is all about ya know; you're going out there to have fun, to go sit in the ocean with your mates or by yourself, that's why it's so therapeutic.

My responsibility is to help someone enjoy that moment even more, by having the right board under

their feet, by allowing them to have a better surf. I've used a lot of what I learnt in my upbringing to give me that edge. I never went through an apprenticeship but I'm very lucky that Mark Camenzind and I have a pretty amazing relationship. He and I have worked in conjunction with one another and he’s definitely helped me with my shaping over the years, but so much of it was osmosis as a kid and spending so much time with dad in the shaping bay.

So, how are you feeling looking forward?

So I've got some stuff in the pipeline, I'm pretty excited about the new things coming. They are part of my vision that was one of the motivators to take on this business and, without saying too much, create something that's not just a retail environment. I don't know if I would have as much enthusiasm about it if I only ran a store that was just products with no culture, no vibe, no authenticity, no uniqueness.

I have the ability, not just within myself but with the story of this business, the history, the position that we have in this community, to give back. The coffee bar for example; that was a concept to bring people in and be something for people outside of surfing. We have so many customers based on the fact that we make an amazing cup of coffee and then it builds this vibe and attraction of that environment.

For me, that's part of the vision; to create an atmosphere where people can come and associate with our business and my family but not feel pressure to only have a relationship where it's a retail store and to be a part of it you have to buy something.

acqui caught up with Matt Kambic about his play,’The Sherpa & the Beekeeper ~ Summit on Everest.’ which will be staged at the Meteor in Hamilton this month.

Tell us about The Sherpa & the Beekeeper ~ Summit on Everest The play explores the personal and political repercussions of one of the most iconic moments of the 20th century, the first summiting of Mt. Everest.

Nepalese sherpa Tenzing Norgay and New Zealand beekeeper Ed Hillary were born and raised in very different cultures. Although they were a climbing team on the expedition, they were not necessarily close friends. On 29 May, 1953, they suddenly became world-famous heroes and celebrities, and linked forever by their momentous deed. Considering how relatively smoothly the actual climb went, from that day forward their lives went through a great, shared crucible of both glory and tribulation. In the writing, I’ve attempted to mine the resulting cultural, class, and human flash points. The play recreates the 1953 summit day on Mt. Everest, then imagines how the climbers might explore their achievement and its repercussions with each other, in a future-envisioned ‘summit’ of their own.

How did the journey start from concept to performance?

The work’s journey from concept to a performance season was begun when I was invited to join the Meteor Theatre’s Boil-Up initiative last year. Under the fine auspices of Meteor General Manager Deborah Nudds and Boil-Up facilitator Khayt Hanara, a group

of playwrights was able to scrutinize their own work with advisors, actors, and guest speakers. From those workshops, and after much careful revising, Boil-Up participants were able to move our plays from the page to the stage.

You are a member of the Raglan Writer’s Collective / Inkspillers. Sarah Johnson, another Raglan Inkspiller, has served as dramaturge for the work. What has this involved?

Both have screen acting credits. We also have support from Hamilton; professional play maven Melisa Martin, skilled mountain-builder James Brunskill, and other allies and helpers. I should also mention that Raglan Roast coffee has helped me through long stretches of play-related activities!

What can the audience expect as they view the performance?

Sarah’s presence in the Raglan writing and creative community has always been generous. She was the individual who alerted me to the Boil-Up opportunity, without which there would not be a play, by me, happening in May! As dramaturge, she read various versions of the play, helping me clarify and deepen the story. I’m delighted and appreciative to have her on The Sherpa & the Beekeeper ~ Summit on Everest team.

The play is staged on the replica of Everest’s peak.

The theatre will be unheated during Act I, to simulate the mountain environment. The play begins with a recreation of that famous summit day. From there, it moves to an imagined future, where the two nowfamous characters work through the travails of fame and fortune, each searching for ways to stay true to their own inner compass, as their deed inundates their lives and the world.

What other Raglan locals are involved in the process and how?

What are you enjoying most about the experience ?

Part time Raglan-ites Jay and Brooke Baker are the play’s Production Managers. They’ve both been invaluable in helping me with this climb. Raglan artist Stuart Shepherd was kind enough to bring his creative talents to the advising table, along with lending a hand with some of the ‘rock-sculpting’ being done to fabricate the Mt. Everest summit set piece. It’s quite a prop, with a 16 ft. diameter and three levels for our actors to perform upon.

I should mention them; two fine gentlemen from north of here. Cameron Smith plays Sir Edmund Hillary and Jericho Nicodemus plays Tenzing Norgay Sherpa.

I can say unequivocally ~ it’s all good. The writing, the designing, the collaboration, fabrication, prop-making, costume wrangling, and rehearsing. I was born in 1953; maybe there’s a cosmic connection to this climb, this mountain, and these humans. I’m very, very grateful for the opportunity.

R AGL A N TO HOLLYWOOD: NCIS STA R ‘BLESSED’ BY LIFE’S BR E A KS

BY EDITH SY MES

Alex, second from left, on location with his NCIS castmates. black carpet at Tinseltown’s Dolby Theatre last month when the full casts of both the original NCIS: LA and the spinoff NCIS: Hawai’i got together at a week-long festival showcasing small-screen shows and celebs.

To have posed alongside the likes of rapper turned actor LL Cool J at the same venue used for the annual Academy Awards was “absolutely mindblowing for a boy from Raglan”, says Alex, who still counts jumping off Kopua bridge into the estuary and playing junior soccer at the domain among his best memories growing up.

The now 30-something remembers living with his family just one or two houses along Te Hutewai Rd from the Wainui Rd intersection, and playing with neighbouring kids whose homes overlooked the back of the estuary. “Was there a house there with lion statues out the front?” he asks, his memory of some details a bit of a blur.

R

ising Kiwi actor Alex Tarrant’s “Hollywood moment” in Los Angeles last month may’ve been an unforgettable experience – but so too, he insists, was his early upbringing in Raglan.

Despite having left town at the tender age of eight, the NCIS: Hawai’i star reckons he still likes to claim Raglan as his own. “I have the best childhood memories,” Alex told the Local Rag, from Auckland, where he’s enjoying a break after 10 months based in Honolulu for filming of the first series, now screening on TVNZ 2.

Known back then as Alexander Tarrant-Keepa – the surname a mix of his Maori, Samoan and Niuean roots – Alex began his education at Raglan Area School. But the town gradually became a less affordable place to live and his family moved away to Morrinsville.

Alex later went to Hamilton’s Fraser High where, fortuitously, he got into drama. It was an “amazing environment”, he recalls of his first taste of theatre and performance.

In year 13 he surprised himself by making it through to the finals of the schools-based Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival and subsequently getting a life-changing opportunity to perform the following year – with other aspiring actors – at Shakespeare’s Globe theatre in London.

Alex plays a lead role in the action crime drama as Kai Holman, one of a team of Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents working out of the Pearl Harbour field office.

That three-week experience sealed Alex’s destiny and he graduated a few years later from Wellington’s Toi Whakaari, New Zealand’s foremost national drama school.

He got his “Hollywood moment” – as the New Zealand Herald’s Spy reporter coined it – on the

Now with a decade’s full-time acting under his belt, Alex has played in the likes of Aussie dramas Sea

Change and 800 Words, New Zealand’s prime-time soap Shortland Street – as the despised Dr Lincoln Kimiora – and Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings series.

He’s also starred in the Taika Waititi-produced Canadian-Kiwi film collaboration Night Raiders which recently hit Kiwi cinemas and was a standout from last year’s international film circuit.

Just a day after the filming of Lord of the Rings wrapped up, Alex found himself on the plane to Hawaii for filming of the new NCIS spinoff. It was a “very, very fast process”, he laughs of the quick turnaround. Wife and fellow actor Luci Hare went with him, along with the couple’s now four-year-old son Beaumont.

Next month they will again leave their Grey Lynn home for the shores of Honolulu for another 10-month stint of filming for the second series. “Beau will start school in Hawaii,” says the proud dad.

Alex is grateful to be part of the show that’s turned him into an autograph-worthy star, and pinches himself that the family was able to move to “paradise” when he landed the plum role last year.

He also praises Luci – who is currently working in make-up design on the set of the Kiwi sitcom Educators – for effortlessly handling all the admin his career entails.

“I’m lucky, I just get to do the fun stuff,” he quips before adding they both work at balancing their careers and sharing the care of their son.

Alex is also grateful for golden opportunities that come his way through his acting career, like the private surf lessons in Honolulu courtesy of the NCIS production team.

“I picked up surfing as a kid in Raglan,” he explains, “but got caught in a rip and gave it up.”

Now he gets to give the sport another go – even if he’ll never compete with his steely-nerved stunt double, native Hawaiian Eli Olsen.

“I am absolutely blessed,” he says of his breaks in life.

DR E A MS COM E TRUE FOR DR E A MVIEW CR E A M ERY B Y J A N I N E J AC K S O N

Jess, Dave, Bronwyn, Matthew and Kathy Hill making dreams come true.

W

hen Dreamview Creamery first dipped their gumboots into farm gate raw milk sales in 2017 they never dreamed the business would get as big as it has.

Owned and operated by the Hill family, the Raglan business recently issued Fonterra with a cease to supply notice.

Daughter, and creamery manager Jess says it’s an exciting step in their journey to run independently and the realisation of the dream idea she proposed to her parents, Dave and Bronwyn, to stop selling milk to Fonterra, bottle it themselves and sell locally.

“This is a really big step for us. We were considering doing it last year, and I’m probably kind of glad that we didn't. During Covid it was actually quite good to be able to still send our excess milk to Fonterra.”

The soon-to-be released Dreamview yoghurt should take care of the milk normally supplied to Fonterra and Jess says they were only producing just enough excess milk to make it worth Fonterra’s while anyway.

“Fonterra came every second day and it kind of depended on what we were doing in the creamery that day as to how much milk would be left for Fonterra. But it got to the point where it was maybe 400 or 500 litres, and only just enough to warrant them coming to pick it up.”

Over the years they have moved to more sustainable practices, and from the very beginnings of Dreamview Creamery, the milk was sold in reusable glass bottles. In doing so, they have saved more than 150,000 plastic bottles that would have ordinarily been used to get the milk to the marketplace.

8 | Raglan Chronicle Magazine Issue May 2022

They will continue using glass for the yoghurt and Jess reckons they could be the first milk-based yoghurt to come in reusable glass jars.

When they started out selling MPI certified raw A2 milk from the farm gate the creamery was based in a converted shipping container and locals would drive up the windy farm driveway to pick up their supplies. However, as demand grew, they bought a refrigerated truck and started delivering to homes in Raglan.

They now deliver nearly 7,000 litres of A2 milk a week to cafes and shops in Raglan, Hamilton, Tauranga and Mount Maunganui. This meant hiring more staff and buying more trucks.

“It’s awesome to be able to provide part time work for locals,” she says.

Because the milk is now available pasteurised Dreamview can sell it anywhere, whereas their raw milk, by law, must be delivered door to door.

Raw milk does not go through the pasteurisation process so it must meet stringent Ministry of Primary Industries regulations.

Dave says there were a lot of hoops to jump through to get MPI certification and they are still required to test once a week for bacterium levels.

“The regulations are extremely strict but we have got really great results,” Dave says.

While MPI regulations prevent Jess from promoting the raw milk, she says it still makes up about 40 percent of their sales.

“They like that it’s milk the way nature intended it and they know where it’s from.”

Like most farming families, the Hill family grew up on raw milk and Bronwyn says she could taste the difference in the supermarket milk she would have to buy from time-to-time.

“I really notice a plastic taste in the milk.”

While Bronwyn says the highly processed, homogenised supermarket milk is basically pulled apart and put back together again to standardise it, raw milk will vary in flavour and content from farm to farm and cow to cow on a daily basis.

“People these days like to know where their produce comes from, how it’s made and that the animals are looked after,” she says.

And animal welfare is a priority; one of the biggest differences at Dreamview is they don’t have a bobby truck visit the farm.

The herd is pure Friesian and Jess says they have no trouble selling the year-olds as first-generation Kiwi cross milking cows.

“We keep every calf that is born on the farm. The cows that are having a baby for the first time have been mated with a recorded (Jersey) sire. We keep the calves on the farm until about a year-old and then they can be sold. They are popular with dairy farmers who buy the girls as replacements and then the boys we can sell on as beef cattle.”

Other sustainable farming practices the family have committed to over the years include significantly reducing their stocking rate and making use of their effluent pond to substantially reduce fertilizer requirements.

They are also propagating their own native trees and carrying out extensive riparian planting.

The Hills have farmed the rugged 300-acre property for over 20 years and began their Dreamview journey with a 250-cow dairy farm.

The farm overlooks the wild west coastline, with views of the Tasman Sea, Karioi maunga and is 10 minutes from the Raglan ‘CBD’.

Animal welfare is important to the Hill family.

It’s a place that has brought all the Hill siblings back home to work in the family business.

It was Jess who brought home the idea for the creamery while she was studying for a Bachelor of Agriculture at Lincoln University.

Jess worked at the Lyttleton Farmers Market every Saturday selling pasteurised milk in glass bottles for a local farmer. “I thought that Lyttleton had a similar demographic and culture to Raglan and we had such positive feedback it got me interested in doing it at home.”

She now lives in a relocated home on the property, which she has lovingly renovated.

Brother Matthew’s skills as a civil engineer were put to good use designing the new purpose-built creamery to replace the 20-foot container which served as the first creamery.

“We’re now in a 200-square metre creamery, and it's just so much bigger and so much better. I’ve even got an office in there,” Jess says.

Sister Kathy came home last year after university and a stint working on a horse stud, and now manages the farm alongside farm manager Gary Gillies.

After just five years in the business, the Dreamview team has grown to include 11 staff, six refrigerated delivery trucks, a purpose-built creamery and a pasteurisation facility.

Jess is always on the lookout for ways to collaborate with local food producers; Dreamview milk is used by Raglan Gelato and a local home-cheesemaker, and every now and then they collaborate with Raglan Chocolate to produce a chocolate milk.

“We're working towards other different products so we can utilize all the milk. Now we don’t have Fonterra we want to make sure

we don't waste any. We need to use as much as we can all the time.”

While Jess has been the driving force behind Dreamview Creamery from the beginning a look at their website lists Dave and Bronwyn as the bosses.

“We always try really hard to make it so they do less but there’s always something else to do. I would love for them to be able to take a step back. I feel like we get there and then something happens and we need them again.

We could not do it without them.”

Jess jokes with her dad about retiring but just like the Hill children have returned home, Dave doesn’t intend on leaving.

“I said to Dad the other day, ‘you can retire sometime and, you know, buy a nice house in town or go somewhere else,’ and he's like, ‘I'm never leaving the farm’.”

A TR E A SUR E TROVE OF GEMS AT R IVET T H E L O C A L R A G S AT D O W N W I T H W E N D Y L E M M O N , O W N E R O F R I V E T G A L L E R Y L O C A T E D O N WA L L I S S T

his month the Local Rag had a chat to Wendy Lemmon about her eclectic gallery of goods featuring rare, unique and vintage wares - Rivet.

How old is Rivet?

Rivet turned 5 on 1st January this year, time has gone fast - sooo many changes.

What was your vision when establishing Rivet?

Rivet was created with the aim to give people a destination where they could source items with a difference, functionality and beauty combined with a vintage industrial tweak - place local art amongst this and form amazing eye candy. A place where people would feel at ease to come discuss their wants and ideas, and let me help them find that special piece for that awkward spot, help with a colour palette or find that special gift, and if that wasn't enough include art exhibitions into the mix.

5 Years on - how is it tracking Pretty well to plan if you take Covid out of the picture. Rivet has become that place where customers end up friends as I search for that special piece, scroll over house plans, visit their homes with numerous bits to find just the right thing - fantastic to be using my interior design skills again. Over the last 6 months Rivet has doubled in floor space enabling more floor stock; can't wait to start up exhibitions again and enjoy this space even more.

10 | Raglan Chronicle Magazine Issue May 2022

How do you source the eclectic mix of items?

Stan and I travel a lot within NZ searching for just the right items - time consuming but lots of fun. As well as over the years having previous galleries I have built up a really good network of people who help source our type of stock and we are also very lucky that we work in with friends that have similar businesses that help source our European range. On top of all this, some of our customers play a big part when they are needing that old shed cleared out !

What do you specifically look for?

This is a hard one to answer - something different with a designer edge. I am drawn towards vintage industrial especially French or German but also love mid century classics and enjoy mixing the two together. I like to know the story behind our stock - who owned it before. what it was used for etc to be shared with its new owner.

What is your back story Wendy? What lead you to the creation of Rivet?

Having owned a couple of galleries and training in interior design sadly circumstances had me back in an office 9 - 5. Of course this didnt go down well and before too long we took on a project of building our own industrial home in Raglan which lead to realising how hard it was to source something unique, stylish and functional and here Rivet evolved, back in my happy space helping people with their visions for their own home or finding that unique gift..

Aside from Rivet what else do you spend your time on?

There isn't much spare time as I do a lot of the restoration and our trips away but when I can I love to be on the water in my kayak. I have done a lot of kayaking over the years and would like to get back into it again. I also have an interest in Black Nosed Valais Sheep which we currently breed the cutest friendliest sheep you can find with long dreadlocks, beautiful wool. I have just sourced an old spinning wheel which I'm trying to master which will produce a new range for Rivet. Other than that spending time together with family and friends is all I need.

It's been an intense and challenging few years for most. Any future plans for the remainder of the year or moving forward?

We have a few tweaks with our gallery extension including lighting and heating and then we can be back up and running for future art exhibitions. We have a couple in the pipeline and I can be contacted on 027 412 7082 or via email info@rivetvintage.co.nz or just drop in for a chat if anybody has something they would like me to consider. Our guitar maker is also sorting a date for a spot on our calendar so watch this space! You will soon see a few larger pieces in store which we are currently working on - lighting, cabinets, safes, old french armchairs to name just a few.

A RTIST PROFILE: R AWIR I GR ACE B Y L E I L A N I G O O DA L L

T

he Local Rag caught up with local weaver Rawiri Grace to kōrero about all things about the art. The artist keeps pretty quiet; however, it is no surprise, as each cloak takes months to create.

Who are you?

Kia Ora! I'm Rawiri Grace Ko Ngāti Mahuta, Ngāti Pou (Tainui) Ngāti Kahungunu te iwi. But most people know me as Buzz.

What do you create?

I'm now known as a Kairaranga or 'one who weaves'. I spent the previous 30 years heavily involved in the underground subculture of graffiti and street art. When I was about four years old, I caught a train with my mum into downtown Auckland, and I remember seeing all the brightly coloured art along the train corridors and thinking, 'Ooh, what's that all about?' From that day onward, I was completely hooked. I practised writing graffiti and drawing artwork at any opportunity I could find.

Around 2012 I moved to Christchurch and decided to try and be a full-time artist. However, I despised using traditional artist canvas as my medium, and I tried to use any bits and pieces I could find - including pilfered materials during my adventures into the Red Zones caused by the Christchurch earthquakes.

I would spend days creating crazy artworks in my studio at home, my nights out in the concrete jungle of the city putting my name in any obscure place I could find, and weekends selling my work at local markets. By 2016 I had created and sold around 5000 pieces of art, painted hundreds of murals around my community and got into a fair bit of mischief in the process. That same year, I had a pivotal change in my personal life, giving up my studio to move back to the Waikato and stay with my whānau.

What is the meaning or inspiration behind what you make?

Yeah, for sure. Around the time I moved back to Waikato, I began to take more interest in my father's Māori cloak weaving. Long before I was born, my father had been hand weaving cloaks; the sights and smells associated with that are some of my earliest recollections.

I sat with him as he would weave and share stories of travelling around and staying with these wonderful old kuia - the last of the traditional Māori weavers and how they shared their ancient skills and knowledge of whatu kākahu (Māori cloak weaving).

In those days, it was rare for these kuia to share their knowledge, and it was unheard of for a man to weave cloaks. When I began to learn more about the historical importance of these great teachers, the impact they had upon him, and the huge honour bestowed on him through their willingness to share their knowledge, it became more and more apparent that my father was a true taonga and that I should learn to weave for myself before those incredible and ancient skills were lost.

Shortly after, I began my training as his first and only student, learning the traditional methods and tikanga passed to him from those great master weavers. One year later, I finally created my first hand woven korowai cloak.

Two years later, I created two more kākahu, a korowai and a kahu huruhuru (full feather cloak), which were promptly bought by Kura gallery in Wellington.

I had found my calling as a weaver, which ironically was the furthest thing from where I set out as a graffiti artist.

Tell us about a piece you recently created?

I was fortunate enough to have been flown out to Rēkohu (Chatham Islands) last year to run a weaving workshop for the local people at Kopinga Marae.

Whilst there, the Hokotehi Moriori Trust asked if I would recreate a copy of what was thought to be the only documented example of a famous Moriori cloak. The only information they had was a black and white photo taken in 1877, making it one of the most challenging things I have ever tried my hand at and that my mental health was truly tested to the limit. The country was in full lockdown due to Covid-19 which made things even more difficult.

I was taught not to weave if my mindset was not in a good place, and there were weeks when I would not touch my weaving at all. I am pretty stoked to say that soon I'll be flying to Wellington to participate in the unveiling ceremony at Te Papa Museum.

What does the future have in store?

I'd love to one day work with youth and try to use my interesting past experiences and my weaving to help reconnect them with the Māori culture. I think we are fortunate to be entirely unique from the rest of the world, and that needs to be celebrated.

TA LK ING A BOUT M ENTA L HE A LTH: A CH AT WITH R ICK THOR PE

BY RUBY GIBBS Living here in Whāingaroa there's probably less of that I think. We’ve transcended in some ways to a little bit more beyond that, more acceptance of people of a greater variety. That's one of the beautiful things I love about Raglan, you just do your thing, no one is gonna judge that, whether it’s a male exhibiting their feminine side or women with their masculine side. I don't know how that was built here or why but maybe it's because we are an eclectic bunch, maybe we have built that respect.

What are the things that keep you moving forward when you are starting to feel the spiral?

07 825 7444

I guess it’s the kaupapa which is about planet health and for me I feel really connected to some ethics and principles which I've built within myself. I can hold those ethics and principles and test whatever the situation is against them. I can carry them with me; it gives me confidence that I know how to react.

What is your relationship like with your mental health?

Is it something you think about every day?

Yes I think so, particularly as I get older and reflect.

I guess it's that balance between the physical and the mental, they're super connected for me. I have to be onto it about what sort of kai I eat, if I’m eating well, particularly food from our garden, sun ripened, in season food, it just brings me so much joy. Like, eating plums will pull up memories deep within me of being a glutton as a young child, feasting in the trees. That kind of connection with my food is related to my mental health.

And exercise as well, we are so lucky here in Whāingaroa to have amazing yoga teachers, so for me to go and be rebalanced once a week is really special. Yoga, with working on the farm, provides that balance of physical exercise, and really good food helps me to keep really good mental health.

What has your relationship been like with it in the past?

I had a very normal relationship with my parents, but a very nuclear family and I didn’t have access to aunties and uncles as I moved every two years, until my early 20’s. I didn’t have all of those super long relationships nor the ability to see people growing and going through issues and learning; it was a different community, different culture each time. I think as a young man I probably didn't have great skills or great mentors. But I had a very unique situation where I trained as a wildlife ranger and had four years living on offshore islands and remote parts of Aotearoa.

I spent lots of time working in isolation or with one other person, so you had to deal with your shit. It was a unique opportunity where you might have 15 wet days in a row where you just couldn't get out of the hut. It was up to you, whether you handled your shit or not, but it also gave you an opportunity to explore. You could play with your heartbeat, you could sensitise yourself in such a way. You know that feeling when you start to spin out?

I could see how far that spin-out could go but I always knew that I could return. I guess in some ways it was an opportunity because there was so little other stimuli around, so I feel quite in control of my body and I think that's also helped me in situations where there's been a huge issue that I’ve needed to deal with and I have a reasonable amount of calmness.

I think historically in New Zealand we have prioritised this idea of men as being tough and unfeeling. Did you ever feel pressure to be that way?

Yea that's definitely there, and to be honest I think it doesn't go away, I think it just manifests in a different way, it still exists. There are many examples of people of my similar age who still exhibit this need to behave in such a way. You know I feel sorry for those folk for whom that is still their fallback position, who haven’t had the opportunity to perhaps grow and experiment.

My ethics are kind of expressed in a simple form in permaculture ethics which is about earth care, people care, and fair share. But those have been really important for me and I do remember Whaea Eva Rickard also talking about that tikanga and kawa; you hold those things and you know how to behave because you are holding them.

I think in many respects, I've chosen mine and it gives me a kind of pou or a feeling of strength that I can enter a situation and so long as I stay true to my ethics and principles I’m actually safe and feel confident. But that took me a while to build up.

How does having kids affect your mental health and how have you approached teaching your kids these ethics and principles?

Having kids kind of knocked me out of thinking about myself all the time and I think that is really healthy. It's been the greatest thing I've ever done - being with Liz and having kids. And I guess early on, because we were involved in ecology and we could see in our short lifetime that resource depletion was very real. So we found a home, a piece of land which we could build up the type of resources that were necessary to raise a family.

We planted appropriate trees with a volume that we knew that we could build a couple of houses so we really have been growing Zak’s house and Pania’s house, and they have played in those trees with their friends and they've slid down the hills and built forts; they have a relationship with those trees. For Zak to come back as a man and to fell those trees, mill them and build himself a house was such a great reward. You know I'm 60 now so I'm physically on my decline and I always think about what you can grow from the soil - you can grow houses and you can grow children who are directly connected to that soil.

So what are some of the tools you keep in your mental health toolbox?

Well I don't want to just be self-sufficient, what I want to be is community-sufficient. I want to grow, I want to be a piece in the jigsaw puzzle. Those are the things that are special to me, that people carve out a little chunk of what they want to do, their piece of the jigsaw.

Collectively we make this the most amazing place, so I want to spend my money locally, I want to support what is happening here and recognise that I don't want to do it alone, I don’t have the skills to do it alone. That's really important for my mental health, that I'm still providing benefit to the community I live in and utilising the skills, experiences, mistakes I've made in a more refined way as I get older. I'm not just gonna hit 65, wait for the pension and drink it up at the Club (no offence, it's a great place).

My Mental Health Toolbox is available from Whaingaroa businesses.

This is a community mental health resource that we hope can help to start more conversations.

The Toolbox is free but there will be an option to donate a koha to fund the next print run.

Please email rubymgibbs@gmail.com if you would like to stock it in your business.

“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” ~ MAHATMA GANDHI

Here in Raglan we have a variety of natural healers, health practitioners and self care businesses indicating that the community values and respects a wide range of methods to maintain their health and wellbeing. We at the Local Rag are setting out to introduce you to what is on offer. Here are a few...

can help you process emotions and experiences, so you feel less anxious, overwhelmed or stuck.

Often, we don’t prioritise feeling through our emotions fully. Or, we don’t know how to express uncomfortable emotions appropriately. Unexpressed emotions can become a source of stress, keeping us in a fight or flight state, which can lead to anxiety and contribute to physical symptoms.

But when we feel safe? We’re able to think more creatively, connect with others more easily and our body can return to a state of health.

I use a combination of emotional release, subconscious rewiring and naturopathic coaching to get to the heart of anxiety and stress-related symptoms.

This approach might help if: • Anxiety is holding you back from stepping forward in your career or relationships.

• You’re feeling scattered, overwhelmed, burnt out or can’t think clearly.

• You’re suffering with symptoms that get worse with stress, such as digestive issues or hormonal imbalances.

If you are interested in being our next HEALTH feature - we would love to hear from you! Please contact Geraldine geb@g-design.co.nz

The short and long term effects of sleep deprivation are a real cause for concern; it affects concentration, mood, immune response, memory, and has links to serious health issues.

We believe in a holistic approach to creating a personalised sleep ritual for each person that addresses the three most significant care points that contribute to a great night’s sleep; Mind, Body & Environment. We seek out the most effective products and leading brands to help you fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer.

With a background in counselling, all these aspects inform the treatments I give so that the needs of the body, mind and spirit are catered for. Every essential oil treatment I use is tailor-made to address an individual’s specific concerns, no one treatment will be the same as another.

The challenges of the last couple of years have inspired me to weave the various threads of my work together, and I am currently studying Mental Health Aware Yoga with Dr Lauren Tober, a course that looks at the interface between Western Psychology and Yogic Psychology so that I can offer classes and sessions to help people regulate their nervous systems.

Yoga has some fabulous tools to help bring people into balance and can work in conjunction with other therapy to help support folk with anxiety, depression, stress and trauma. The wonderful thing about these tools is, once learned, you can do them any time you need or want, and you do not need fancy yoga pants or be a human pretzel. As long as you can breathe, you can practice yoga.

leep is a mainstream issue that impacts people’s physical and mental wellness. Whether it is having an overactive mind and struggling to switch off at night, or having a noisy and bright environment that makes sleeping tricky - many issues contribute to consistently insu cient sleep and cause you to feel drained and stressed.

the wharf

The wharf is a special place to visit in the Raglan township so make it a destination and spend time there. Once in town, turn right down Wallis street and head towards the iconic Silo towers.

While soaking up the glorious views of the inner harbour, wander around the specialty stores and galleries and take time to eat. Experience fish and chips by the sea or dine at the Wharf Kitchen restaurant.

WH A R F E ATERY’S NEW OWNERS DELIGHTED TO DOCK IN ‘HE AVEN’

BY EDITH SY MES

H

e may be a seasoned restaurateur of 35 years but when PJ and his wife Anne pulled up outside The Wharf Kitchen and Bar on their firstever visit to Raglan last July it was love at first sight.

So much so, the couple reveal, that they decided before so much as stepping inside the doors that this was the business to buy.

The country went into lockdown the following month but they were undaunted.

“We made sure we got it,” PJ says. “The world doesn’t stop just because of Covid.”

PJ admits it’s a big change of lifestyle from Karaka, south of Auckland, where they and their two children have been living. But they’ve already agreed Raglan is where they want, ultimately, to retire.

“It’s like you’re in heaven,” he says of the restaurant’s harbourside location.

The couple’s 12 and six year olds – although still commuting back to the Big Smoke for school while PJ wraps up loose ends there – have already joined the local waka club, their interest piqued by the outrigger canoes stored alongside the Wharf Kitchen and Bar. PJ and Anne have taken over a premises that has a long and colourful history, dating back to the early-to-mid 1900s when it was the Earl’s Tudor Tearooms and quite the place to be seen.

The tearooms have since been reinvented as an ice-cream shop – in the 1990s – then as the Tudor restaurant and backpackers and the Marlin Bar & Cafe, before assuming its latest identity as The Wharf Kitchen and Bar. Now PJ, who’s 49 and originally from India, and Anne, 41, who’s from the Philippines, are putting their own stamp on

things. First and foremost they are keen to turn their new business of a few months into an affordable eatery for families day and night.

PJ knows his stuff. He started out decades ago as a chef – working in India and the Middle East – but then moved into managing restaurants. He’s been based for 18 years in Auckland, where Anne has also been into catering and hospitality at LSG Sky Chefs.

The couple point out that as well as providing restaurant fare like steak, chicken and fresh fish at standard prices, their new menu actually starts at just $10 for the likes of pancakes or a toast/egg/hash-brown combo. And that’s all day long, says PJ, from opening at nine in the morning through till closing at 8.30pm on weekdays or later at weekends.

“People can come at (almost) any time,” he insists. They’ll be served what they want when they want.

PJ reveals he’s also come up with a “really good” dessert menu to tempt the palate, and special deals to appeal to families. Kids can eat free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with each paying adult, and it’s ‘dine free on your birthday’ along with two paying customers.

And he’s started buying local: special sausages from the Top Cut Butchery, dairy products from Dreamview Farm, craft beer from Workshop Brewing Co. “We are trying to help as many locals as possible,” he insists.

PJ wants to give back to the community which has helped him and his family settle in over the past few months. Some people, he says, have volunteered their time.

“I am totally humbled,” he adds of the support.

hat are the new developments at La La Land in Raglan?

I love maintaining a big sentiment and open heart for Ch’ch as a city that was challenged so many times. I definitely want to be one of the businesses that will make the city smile more often. Two La La Lands in Ch’ch are already warming many hearts, one for almost two years now and another one since 4 weeks ago.

Feeling very lucky and privileged to be able to serve people all around NZ, but Ch’ch has had a special place in my heart for 11 years now. That city shared its heart with me - I am now returning the love.

much as to celebrate the connection there is between them all.

I’m sure it was a lot of hard work to set up. Are you happy with the result? Is it similar to Raglan?

Are you feeling optimistic moving forward after the disruptions to hospo in the last few years?

The menu remains semi secret, but will definitely bring ‘home’ to many Europeans living in NZ and hopefully many tasty memories to those who have travelled overseas before.

The whole Ch’ch La La Land team feels extremely loved and appreciated by many happy and already regular customers. It was hard work, it always is, but the reward is priceless, worth every challenge.

Definitely. It can only get better. My 3 teams of staff are sharing my believe the best is yet to come.

And I hear a new La La Land in the south. Why did you decide to expand into Christchurch?

It is inspired by Raglan, it has its characteristic twists to it though that makes it unique. No La La Land is the same and I would love to embrace the differences as

Upstairs of La La Land a European Eatery is being built. It’s happening slowly but surely; the excitement and appetites are definitely growing.

The Pandemic has challenged the eatery project for some time now but I believe energy and persistence will conquer all things, so... keeping my focus and drive and excitement up and looking forward to the new creation opening its doors to the world soon, hopefully this winter.

Christchurch was my home for 6 years before I settled in Raglan. I have long term friendships there.

I wouldn’t grow without Raglan though - I have all the courage and confidence from my Raglan customers who made me believe what I am doing is making a difference. I am deeply grateful for my Raglan customers being so supportive and encouraging.

Raglan will definitely be in the heart of each La La Land I’ll create now or in the future. La La Land is definitely organically Raglan Made.

Thank you Raglan and Thank you Christchurch.

La La Land is growing because of your support and love. We will keep returning the love for as long as possible.

ay is NZ Music Month and that means we have some great touring acts coming up at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre.

Her contemporary take on Americana, country and rockabilly will be a great night out with this rising songstress and her band. May 14, 7.30pm, tickets from Under The Radar.

We Wayward Divas are a folk duo of Gilly Darby and Vikki Clayton, both born in the UK but now happily living in New Zealand.

Throughout the month of May, the Raglan Community Radio DJs will be playing plenty of Raglan music on their shows so make sure you tune in for inspiration and listen to some awesome music from Raglan.

You can head over to Spotify or YouTube to check out the playlists and let the Raglan Community Radio crew know if you want to submit your favourite Raglan song to the lists.

acqui caught up with Eve and Chris from Raglan Tiny homes following their open day in the weekend to showcase their new builds.

When did you start Raglan Tiny Homes and why?

We’ve always had a fascination for tiny homes and loved idea of having a smaller foot print, living with ‘less‘ as well as the financial perks. We also saw it as an opportunity to dodge the crazy Raglan rental market. That’s why we built the original Raglan Tiny Home back in 2016 which organically evolved into the business it is today here in Te Mata. With an epic local team, we build everything in the workshop and supply homes all over New Zealand. Our why behind what we do now hasn’t really changed, it’s about building homes for a better way of life, for you and the environment. We’ve been living tiny ever since and still loving it.

What different models do you offer?

We have all sorts! From the 10sqm Studio to our biggest, most popular model being our INDI - two bedroom/double lofted family home. We also have single story models too, our WHALE and our MANU models, which are great for those who don’t like stairs or lofts.

What are the different ways that people utilize tiny homes?

Most people live in our homes full-time, but we have done batches, rentals, studio/offices, and airbnbs.

20 | Raglan Chronicle Magazine Issue May 2022

How do you think the Raglan community could benefit from the tiny home movement?

There are two ways we see it. 1. Helping first home buyers own their own home that has the flexibility to move with them, and to step away from renting.

2. Home/batch owners investing in a tiny home to live in or airbnb out, therefore freeing up their home for long term local renters or vice versa.

What is the timing involved with the builds?

We allow 3 months for our builds but this also depends on the work load of how many homes we have on the go.

How do the costs compare with more standard sized builds?

In today’s crazy housing market our tiny homes are attractive to the pocket, yet are still beautiful, high end and functional for full-time living. If you work it out per square metre rate, tiny homes are naturally going to come in at a higher rate due to the fact the entire home is in a smaller foot print - each square meter counts!

How do people see more of what you do and how do you they get in touch if a Tiny Home works for them?

You can reach us through the platforms below - we’d love to hear from you!

he financial and legal responsibilities of running a business can be challenging.

There is a lot to know and navigate to ensure obligations are being met. This is also the case with managing and looking after staff. As a legal firm with a specialist employment law team, part of our role at DTI Lawyers is to advise businesses of their employment law obligations. However, there are common traps we often witness that increase legal risk of a successful personal grievance.

It is a key requirement of an employment law relationship to act in good faith. This includes being responsive and communicative with one another and to not act in a way that is misleading or deceptive.

Employers must be able to justify decisions and follow a fair process when an employee’s employment could be negatively impacted. The following are some of the key mistakes we often see made by employers: • Predetermining an outcome – an employer cannot make any decisions that could impact an employee’s ongoing employment without first giving the employee an opportunity to be heard. Care

must be made to not use predetermined language in correspondence.

• Not providing all relevant information – good faith obligations require employers to provide employees with all relevant information before the employee can be expected to respond. This is relevant with disciplinary, restructuring, investigations and performance processes. Information must be provided in advance of any meetings.

• Rushing a process – it is critical that an employee is provided sufficient time to consider all information being provided to support a proposal or allegations.

Time must be adequate to enable the employee to seek independent advice. Care must be given to ensure sufficient notice of meetings is also provided.

• Not acting in good faith – this includes having ulterior motives for commencing formal processes or using the incorrect process (i.e. starting a disciplinary process for performance concerns). Another common mistake is to not raise and address issues as these arise. Employers have good faith obligations to be raising concerns with employees at the time, rather than waiting until these become insurmountable.

The above traps are but a snapshot of some of the issues we commonly see. The reality is that employment law relationships, like many relationships,

can be full of complexities. However, provided employment law obligations are being met and some of the common traps can be avoided, employers can significantly decrease their risk of having to incur the time and resources to defend employment law claims.

The specialist employment law team at DTI Lawyers can assist you in relation to all employment matters.

WAIKATO URGED TO TAKE ACTION THIS PINK RIBBON BREAKFAST MONTH. Breast Cancer Foundation NZ is gearing up for a huge month of May, with two awareness and fundraising campaigns launching: #GiveUsOur Mammograms and Pink Ribbon Breakfast.

Over 50,000 women are overdue for their mammograms.

Breast screening could not happen during the COVID-19 lockdowns, potentially leaving 300 breast cancer diagnoses going undiagnosed and untreated among Kiwi women, and without urgent action, the catchup will be too late for many. Host a Pink Ribbon Breakfast this May For more information and to register to host a Pink Ribbon Breakfast, visit www. p i n k r i b b o n b re a k f a s t . co.nz
