Mangrove Massacre:

Whaingaroa-Raglan is becoming a Waikato foodie hotspot. Find hours and weekly specials below and remember to support our local eateries!

new series of community koha clinics focusing on health conditions and the medicines used to treat those health conditions began on August 19 with the first a sessions focus on heart failure.

Fiona McNabb, an experienced clinical pharmacist with a background in community and hospital pharmacy and a specialty in cardiology is donating her time to run the two-hour sessions at the Raglan House in Bow St with support from the local GPs at West Coast Health. The sessions run from 10am until 12pm and include lots of time for discussion and questions about what has been covered. The heart failure session was attended by a small, enthusiastic group of nine people who had either seen the Chronicle article or a flyer from West Coast Health or the Raglan Pharmacy. Unfortunately for many people, the timing of the article so close to the class meant they didn’t have sufficient notice to attend. “We’ve learnt from that mistake, and have now planned three sessions in advance to give people plenty of notice” says Fiona after taking calls from people who had missed out. A survey, completed by most of the attendees of the heart failure session described their level of knowledge of heart failure – what it is, what causes it – and the medicines used to treat it, before the class as “average” or just “a bit”. After the class, all ratings

had risen to “good” or “amazing”, with all those who completed the survey commenting that they would recommend the class to others. Feedback from the class was that, understanding what “heart failure” means, how it happens and what we can do ourselves to live well with our health conditions, was very helpful. Medicines are just part of the picture of supporting people to improve how well they feel and how their symptoms can be managed. Understanding how medicines work helps patients make sense of why they have been prescribed a medicine and what the point of taking them is. “What about eating your greens?” asked the wife of one of the class participants, a question that caused much amusement and general discussion about healthy eating, “so it’s definitely about much more than just medicines,” Fiona reports. The next few sessions will focus on Heart Attacks - September 30, Atrial Fibrillation (AF) – November 4 and a re-run of Heart Failure - December 2. All sessions will be on Saturday mornings at the Raglan House, 45 Bow St, from 10am – 12 noon. Contact Fiona on 027 688 9754 if you would like to register for a class or ask any questions about the clinics. If there is enough interest and support for the clinics, topics for 2018 could include diabetes, asthma, COPD, gout and many more.

Mangrove massacre astounds environmentalist

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

Waikato Regional Councillor Fred Lichtwark is disgusted at the actions of the mangrove vandals.

mangrove (mānawa) murder mystery has a local environmentalist scratching his head over the culprit’s motive. Whāingaroa Harbour Care stalwart and Waikato Regional Councillor Fred Lichtwark noticed the carnage to the protected shrub along the causeway from the one-way bridge round to the airstrip on Marine Parade on his way to the community board meeting last week. Fred says the mangrove vandals have done a lot more damage to the wider environment by removing the ecologically significant native plant. “They have been there for 50 years without being touched,” he says. “This flies in the face of what Raglan is all about.” Mangroves play an environmentally important role, including filtering heavy metals washed off nearby roads and roofs and reducing the amount released into the sea, providing food for snails, worms, shellfish, small fish and crabs, acting as buffers against erosion and storm surges, and oysters, mussels and barnacles attach themselves to the mangrove’s aerial roots. With a stormwater pipe emptying into the harbour close by, Fred says the destruction of these filter plants negatively impacts the marine life in the harbour. “The harbour is a nursery habitat for lemon fish, which is specific to Whāingaroa,” he says. “It provides habitat for the mullet which are running at the moment and mussels even little scallops adhere to the roots of the mangrove.” Fred can’t make any sense of the destruction which saw the vandal wade through thick mud armed with a cutting implement to hack more than a dozen mature mangroves. “This is an idiotic thing to do,” Fred says. “I don’t know if they were protesting against the Greens or what they were doing.” Niwa’s recently released mangrove management guide warned that mangrove

removal often did not have the desired effect of returning sandy ﬂats and removal areas ended up looking unattractive and smelling foul. Research in 40 mangrove removal areas found the adverse effects were immediate and long-term and included sediment that lacked oxygen, was often black in colour and smelled of sulphur. A Waikato Regional Council incident response team visited the site last Thursday and conﬁrmed that 17 (of approximately 25 in the immediate area) mangroves had substantial foliage cut from them.

The council is keen to hear from anyone in the Raglan community who has any information about the incident and although only a relatively small number of plants were effected the council is interested in understanding why it has occurred. People caught removing mangroves without ﬁrst getting permission can be ﬁned or prosecuted by the Waikato Regional Council. Phone Waikato Regional Council 0800 800 401 if you have information about the mangrove incident. Janine Jackson

RAGLAN Chronicle 3

Nostalgic visit back home for US-based Emma G

Emma G - mic in hand - unpacks her gear for the gig at the Yotty.

ho would’ve believed a wee Emma Ghaemmaghamy – scratching away on her violin at an Old School concert decades ago – would return one day to Raglan from Washington DC and perform a gig downtown at the Yot Club. Only the Yot Club was the local video store last time Emma G, as she’s now known, was back in town. So performing at the

popular night spot last Friday was a first for her. Emma’s on a whirlwind ‘All Roads Lead To Home’ national tour to celebrate her debut solo album Taking Flight, which was two years in the making. “I grew up here until I was about nine,” Emma confirmed to the Chronicle as she unpacked guitar, mike, keyboards and other paraphernalia from her car on arrival. She no longer plays the violin but remembers that first concert 23 years ago at

the Old School Arts Centre in Stewart Street, when she was just five. In fact it was not long after – at six – that she recorded her first song with longtime local Dennis Conquest. “It was ‘Just A Girl’, the No Doubt song,” she recalled. Something else she remembers is the long-gone Moreton Bay fig tree on Puriri Street. “That was where I wrote my songs,” she added a tad nostalgically. Emma was looking forward to being home, seeing Raglan’s iconic walkbridge

again and eating some “fush and chups” down at the wharf. She was keen to check out the letterbox of her old house on Cambrae Road too. “I want to see if it’s still the same as the way I painted it when I was eight,” she laughed. Shortly afterwards the Te Uku School girl moved with her mother into Hamilton, though returned here whenever she could. Emma later went on to establish a profile as vocalist for Auckland rockers Static Era, and in 2012 was a New Zealand Local Hero Award recipient for inspiring others through music. Since then she’s gone solo and – having moved to the States two years ago to pursue her music dreams – has become known on Washington DC’s busking circuit as the Kiwi girl who plays great songs and gives great hugs. “Yep I’ve lost count of how many hugs I’ve given out since election day,” Emma said in obvious reference to Donald Trump’s victory. While she loved being in DC for “the culture and the people”, she admitted it was weird too because the election on November 8 – coincidentally her birthday – brought a lot of heartbreak to the capital. Emma works full time there as a street performer, also doing the rounds of clubs, bars and community events. “For me, music is about connection,” she explained. So there were no nerves before the gig at the Yotty, for instance, because she’s comfortable with the soul/pop/rock stuff – described as both sultry and gutsy – that works for her. She was definitely “excited” to be gigging locally however, and to show that her career was indeed – as the album title suggests – taking flight. Edith Symes

Locals taste for themselves how island cuisine could be

Colin - proud of his cookbook - at the launch.

bout 100 locals got a good taste – literally – last weekend of what renowned Raglan chef Colin Chung’s bold venture into publishing is all about.

His stylish new cookbook ‘Kana Vinaka’ is aimed at creating a contemporary Pacific Island cuisine, and for a full day and a half ahead of its Sunday afternoon Raglan launch Colin and helpers had been busy preparing healthy nibbles from sustainable islands produce.

Launch-goers were treated to everything from chips made out of taro (dalo), breadfruit (ulu), kumala (kumara) and green bananas (vudi) to dalo bele hash cakes – essentially taro spinach fritters – and Fijian ahi tuna and kuita (octopus) sashimi. All came with bowls of Island-style dips, sauces and marinades which Colin said helped “make local foods tasty”. Colin told the launch function – held at Raglan Sunset Motel’s conference centre – that his cookbook focused on Fijian cuisine because Fiji had the Pacific Islands’ greatest range of produce. But he added that ‘Kana Vinaka’ - meaning good food or eat well - was a book that “can help everyone”. That’s because it was all about eating local (produce), and the principles were the same wherever. The 102-recipe cookbook is the culmination of Colin’s visiting and consulting in the Pacific Islands over decades, with the past two years devoted to its actual production. His minister wife Rhonda, who did the blessing, spoke of “the long journey to the launch of this book”, while Raglan ward councillor Lisa Thomson talked of Colin’s passion for food and his passion for people. Among those who collaborated in the publishing venture were Te Mata-based Kath Parrott, who accompanied Colin on 4-5 trips to Fiji to do the photography, and Whale Bay artist Xavier Meade who handled the book’s design. Another local, Inger Vos, typed up all Colin’s handwritten recipes. Longtime local musician Dave Maybee played guitar, Island-style, at the function while Carolyna Harte-Meade succinctly summed up the end product as “not just a coffee-table cookbook”. It’s a textbook for those in the industry, she explained, and user-friendly for everybody else. Edith Symes

Outdoor bowls report

Opening Day winners from left, Chris Lourie, Murray Eddy, Bill Bond and Les Schlager.

n September 16 at 1pm, the bell was rung, the flag raised, the first jack and first bowl rolled up to signal the opening of our outdoor bowls 2017-18 season. We played two games of triples with plenty of fun- bantering to set the season off on a good roll.

Our Raglan Club President, Colin Sullivan, and our Club Liaison person, Gary Kite, were in attendance and wished all members a happy and successful year of bowls. Our Club Manager, Chris Lourie, popped in later in the day to wish us well also. Chris presented the Opening Day winners, Bill Bond, Les Schlager and Murray Eddy, with their prizes. In second place were Jim Boggiss, John Carr and James Bond. Congratulations to you all. Following this we all joined in with a very tasty shared afternoon tea.

Starting this Thursday, September 21, at 4.30pm we are holding a new ‘ Corner to Corner’ competition. So rock on down to the bowling club on James Street and have a go. We welcome new members all the time. It is a great sport for all ages, just need to have flat-soled shoes and perhaps a warm jacket. Upcoming events: Saturday, September 23 Harbour View Cup challenge, Saturday, September 30 - Moore Cup, drawn pairs (using the handicap system), Saturday, October 7 - mixed singles, and Saturday and Sunday October 14 and 15, will be our Triples Championships.

YOUNG ACHIEVERS

Local couples’ chance to tap into local wedding network

An occasional column featuring young achievers in our community.

One Wonderful Day’s organising team, from left, Sarah Glenn, Emma Whitlock, Hannah Porter, Abbie Hartland and Brooke Baker. Photo/ Supplied

f you’re getting married in the Waikato in the near future, you could be forgiven for thinking you’d have to search out of town to meet all your wedding needs. Luckily for you, a local collective of industry professionals have you covered.

This week we spoke to talented rugby player Hudson Bidois pictured above with his mum Rachel and dad Aaron. Tell us what you achieved with Rugby this year? What representative team did you make? Rep teams I have made have been the Panthers (Gwynne Sheild). We finished seventh out of 10 teams. This team is made up based on what school you go to. Waikato Roller Mills team, this is a true honour and something I have been working towards all year, luckily I have the best Raglan Club coaches and family who supported me to get there. This year has been my favourite year so far. I have had 13 Player of the Days and only not scored in two games of club rugby.

How long have you played Rugby. What do you like about it?

I have played Rugby for seven years. Last four years has been contact (tackle), before that it’s just been fun and playing around. As you start to tackle it gets more serious, it’s still fun but you are more focused I think. I like a lot about rugby, it's New Zealand's main sport. It’s the best team sport.

What other sports do you enjoy?

Golf, soccer, running, surfing, snowboarding, athletics, cricket, basketball, softball and motorbike riding

How do you think young people get to excel at sport?

You need to train hard very, very hard and respect the coaches. Good sportsmanship

towards other players. I was lucky with my Raglan coaches over the last few years as they teach this as much as they teach you skills.

Who do you feel inspired by? My family, my coaches, my team, my friends and their parents, my school (Waitetuna) they all encourage me to be my best. They drive me all over the place for games and trainings and are real positive towards my sports. My favourite rugby players that inspire me is Beauden Barrett and his brother Jordy.

What happens next year? Who will you play for? Will you miss Raglan?

Raglan business woman Sarah Glenn is part of a local collective, dubbed Wed in Waikato, which is putting on a wedding fair, for locals by locals, in Hamilton on September 24. Sarah, whose business, Topkata, hires out tents for events, says she loves working in the local wedding industry and the collaborative spirit of the five women behind One Wonderful Day. “Wed in Waikato came about because we all know that by working together, we’ll all be more successful. We all benefit by learning from one another,” she says. “While other regional wedding fairs have more of a general offering, we've strived to serve a more focused and curated creme de la creme of local professionals.” One Wonderful Day brings together wedding professionals from across the Waikato in one place - The Atrium at Wintec House - for one day, so you can meet and secure all you need to create your

perfect Waikato wedding. Sarah says the team were very particular, hand-picking exhibitors to ensure they have the same positive approach that Wed in Waikato’s core team members pride themselves on. “It’s really important to us, as professionals, that we’re adaptable and modern. We’re open to new things and willing to try anything, so we’ve ensured our vendors all have the same attitude,” she says. Among the stalls at One Wonderful Day there will be other Raglan businesses - Photoadventure. co.nz, Freehand Design, The White Wedding Club, Raglan Buds Flower Farm and Dizzy Blocks. Sarah says there will also be photo and video booth options and photographers with a more relaxed, documentary-style approach, along with re-imagined food solutions - from mobile catering vehicles to the very do it yourself-able concept of grazing platters. “Our crew has a great network of high quality professionals in the local wedding industry, from Raglan and further afield. So this fair is about giving locals who are planning their weddings the chance to tap into that valuable network.” One Wonderful Day is on Sunday, September 24, at The Atrium at Wintec. See www. onewonderfulday.co.nz for more.

I never want to leave Raglan Club! Next year I'll be year 8 so I can't play 12th grade next year as I will be over the weight limit. I'm hoping we can have a 13th grade.

What's so great about the Raglan Club?

Everyone respects each other, my team is one big family. For a small town we can hold our own against the big city clubs, we finished second in the 12th grade A pool. We won the Hopu Hopu tournament - that’s a pretty big deal when other clubs have so many teams and numbers.

What is your goal with Rugby. Who would you like to be playing for in 5-10 years?

In about five years I would like to be in the first XV for Hamilton Boys High School, then in about 10 years I would like to be playing for the chiefs and All Blacks!
