Businesses look to communitybased patrol to address crime
T
Raglan Surf Co.was the latest business to be hit by burglers.
he Raglan Surf Co is the third local business to come under the attack of a ram-raid/theft in the Raglan CBD this year. The local surf shop was hit last Tuesday 22 May at 3am. After reviewing CCTV footage, Police confirmed that the vehicle used in the ram-raid was one of four vehicles stolen from Huntly late Monday night (May 21). The current string of burglaries started
in February with FallenFront, who was hit three times in a row, followed by the Surf Emporium at the beginning of May. Business owners and community members are pushing authorities for an immediate solution to the late night crime. “There are not enough prevention methods in place to keep this from happening. Unfortunately, Police do not have the resources to adequately support the community at this time, but something has to be done” said Karamea Puriri, Administrator for the Raglan Chamber of Commerce.
The Raglan Chamber has been in contact with MP Barbara Kuriger who will be supporting the community, Chamber and Council to explore a viable solution. A few days after last week’s ram-raid, Surf Co Director Luke Hughes met with The Raglan Community Patrol’s Narina Hurst to gain a better understanding of how the Community Patrol operates and how the community can better support them in the work that they do. “If the authorities are not able to give us the support we need, then we as a community need to step up and do it ourselves,” stated Luke. “There are only 14 volunteers on the Community Patrol. There are a few younger volunteers (aged 50-60), but it’s mostly retirees or senior citizens on the job. And realistically, they don’t have the manpower to be driving around in the middle of the night.” The Community Patrol is not a security service, but a volunteer operation, that liaises directly with the Police. Narina would love to see more younger and able volunteers signup and show their support for the community. More volunteers would mean more nights and longer times on the street, which would help provide a deterrent to potential disturbances. The Community Patrol operates in pairs and patrols the CBD, surf beaches, the wharf, Bridal Veil falls and car parks. With a Police radio in the volunteer car, they are able to directly communicate any issues they come across, but they do not get involved. Formerly called the Raglan Night Owls, The Raglan Community Patrol is affiliated with the National Community Patrols of NZ and volunteers must go through a Police vetting and have a time of initiation and training.

Tarot Talk
H
ello again from Tarot Talk - a weekly column in which I introduce a Tarot card for the week and provide a little information about it. I hope you continue to enjoy this space.
This week's cards is The Lovers. This card usually indicates that a choice needs to be made, perhaps a choice between two loves. When you see the Lovers card think about where in your life you are facing a choice. The choices presented are usually two completely separate options and present themselves somewhere in your life as options you must weigh carefully before making a decision for whatever you select, the rest of your life will follow down that path and you will be forever a new person - for better or worse. When the Lovers comes up, you must be completely honest with yourself in the situation. Deeply examine your motives, your feelings and your options. This decision is something which is fundamental – a major life or lifestyle choice and there is nothing trivial about it. The choice that The Lovers presents is almost always one that has moral over or undertones. Your own value system may be being challenged, and you may need to make a definite choice based on your values. The Lovers can indicate a moral or ethical crossroads and can show a need to overcome temptation. Following your own path can mean going against those who are urging you in a direction that is wrong for you. This card suggests a need to maintain a firm belief in yourself, and trust that your own moral values and principles will show you the right path, even when intoxicating forces are tempting you to take the wrong one.
More information about this card can be found on my Tarot Talk Facebook page https:// www.facebook.com/tarottalknz/ Tarot readings and tuition are available by appointment. Txt Chrissy on 027 6644261.

Bags of work but upcyclers have big order all sewn up
Sew busy: from left Vicky, Maureen and Hazel at work at The Pantry.
B
y its nature the Raglan Upcycling Co-op likes a challenge – so when the innovatory group was asked to produce 400 local, ethical, environmentally friendly conference bags a couple of months ago there was little hesitation. It did seem “rather a lot … a huge number”, Vicky Beeby told the Chronicle last Monday at downtown cafe The Pantry, where the co-op’s sewing machines had been set up for a morning’s work amid the usual throng of eatery patrons. But when fellow co-op member Hazel Lewis reasoned it meant making only one bag each a day to meet their mid-year deadline, the project suddenly looked more manageable. “I don’t know if I’d want to do 400 again though,” Hazel concedes as the quartet celebrate the end of their marathon effort. “But the nice thing about a co-op is that we work collaboratively,” Vicky chimes in. And that has made all the difference to the small group who often sewed together around Vicky’s large dining table before the weekly gatherings at The Pantry were instigated. The co-op’s colourful collection of conference bags – upcycled from the likes of skirts and shirts, old curtains and duvet
covers – is set to be delivered to the NZATE National English Teachers’ Conference being held in Hamilton in July. Vicky and Hazel along with fellow co-op members Maureen Dellow-Jackson and Di Jennings are proud of their latest achievement, convinced they can handle any bulk orders or custom pieces that come their way. Says Maureen: “We also make a lot of cushions, while Di does hats and jerkins from crocheted doilies.” Then there’s the tiny tooth fairy bags, just big enough to fit a two-dollar coin inside. And the denim “cuffs” Vicky’s currently working on that fit neatly round recycled drinking jars to stop fingers from burning. “We make whatever we get inspiration for,” says Maureen. Hazel hopes to make jewellery from old necklaces, for instance, and has thought about dangly earrings out of sewing machine bobbins. The group’s ‘go to’ spots for cast-offs from which to create new products are local waste management success story Xtreme Zero Waste and the op shops around town. “Amazing” men’s shirts made of cottons and linens make great bag linings, Maureen explains, while Hazel reckons
she picked up a Trelise Cooper mini-skirt – with a few beads missing – at Xtreme for $4 and from it made two bags which sold for $20 apiece. Local businesses like Scintilla Clothing and Moz-Art also supply the sewing enthusiasts with “beautiful” fabric edges too small to use in their own creations. The co-op morphed just this year from Bag It – a volunteer sewing group coordinated by Vicky and Di – which over two years made and gave away more than 1500 reusable shopping bags to locals as part of Raglan’s Plastic Bag Free initiative. Four of those Bag It women thought ‘what next’, deciding they all liked sewing and wanted an income from it – albeit a modest one. “We pay ourselves (under) the minimum wage,” Maureen points out. And they’re all very communityminded. Retirees Maureen and Hazel are volunteers at Matapihi Art Gallery, and Hazel is also at Trade Aid downtown, while Di volunteers at Timebank Raglan. Young mum Vicky too says upcycling is not all she does – fitting it in with her job at Let’s Grow Early Learning Centre – “but it’s pretty key to who I am”. “We’re creativity-before-consumption people,” she adds.

Generators prevent overflows in Raglan T he Greenslade Road generator installed in Raglan in March has already done its bit to prevent an overflow into the harbour. One of Waikato District Council’s portable generators was also used for the first time after the Marine Parade pump station lost power in early April. The generator ran uninterrupted for more than 24 hours and almost certainly prevented an overflow from occurring. The generators are just a small piece of work which forms part of Council’s Wastewater Overflow Continuous Improvement Programme and will ensure the pumps in the area continue to work if there is a power outage. This will in turn
protect the harbour from overflows. Portable generators have been used in Raglan during this year’s storms to keep the pump stations operating when the town experiences loss of power, but as Greenslade Road is tricky to navigate, especially in wet weather and in the middle of the night, it was decided a permanent generator was needed at this location. General Manager Service Delivery Ian Cathcart says the back-up and portable generators are an important part of a districtwide commitment to reducing overflows or wastewater leaks into our environment. Cleaning, inspections and smoke testing also continues in Raglan to assist this work. Mr Cathcart says the public also have an important part to play in our objective
of reducing wastewater spills across the Waikato district. About 80% of wastewater overflows in the district from 2014-16 were caused by blockages. The main causes of these blockages were foreign objects such as wipes, clothing, sanitary pads and nappies being flushed down toilets, and grease, oil and food scraps being poured down the kitchen sink. Council continues to roll out a public education campaign that aims to inform the community that they should only flush pee, poo and paper down the loo and that grease, fats and oils should be disposed in the bin instead of down the sink.

INFLUENZA - The Waikato DHB has notified practices in the area that they are concerned we will be hit hard with influenza this year due to the Northern Hemisphere having had a particularly bad season. Experts are predicting that the same strain of influenza will come to New Zealand. Immunisation is
the best protection available against influenza let’s not catch Influenza and let’s not spread it. New data out says that four out of five people infected show no signs of influenza. These carriers could have spread the virus among their family, co-workers and classmates without ever realising it. The influenza vaccination is funded for those at most risk of complications from influenza – those 65 years of age and older, pregnant women, others with a chronic condition such as asthma, diabetes, cancer etc. Please book in with a nurse for your free vaccination if you qualify. If you don’t qualify for it to be funded, you can pay $25 for the vaccination. SORE THROATS – Sore throats can lead to rheumatic fever. All sore throats in Māori and Pacific children and young people aged 4 – 19 years living in the Waikato need to be checked. Even a mild sore throat or a hoarse throat can be caused by strep and can go on to cause rheumatic fever if left untreated. Get all sore throats seen and swabbed quickly to prevent rheumatic fever and heart damage. WCHC
Whaingaroa ratepayer questions council’s efficiency
This image shows the rubbish that was reported to council in 2016.
S
hoddy repair work by council contractors has become a bugbear for Otonga Valley Road resident Clive Hobson and he worries it is the tip of the iceberg of council inadequacies. “I find it really hard to imagine that this road is the only road that they are slack with.” Clive’s proud of his patch of paradise in Otonga Valley and he’s the type of guy who likes things to be ship shape and wellmaintained. The 70-year-old used to help keep the weeds down at the council reserve across the road until he was required to adhere to the 2016 Health and Safety legislation and he mows his berm as per the new council bylaw. The retired builder is a firm believer that doing a job right the first time and keeping up with maintenance helps save money in the long run. After many phone calls and emails about issues with fallen over road signs, rubbish down road banks and noxious weeds on council reserve land, Clive believes council needs to held accountable for the inferior repair work in the district and slow reaction time to ratepayer complaints. Clive was flabbergasted at the slapdash way contractors re-erected the signs, which included a children-crossing and a 20km sign. “They retrieved the signs and put them back in holes which would have filled up with dirt. They were even further out of the ground than they originally were. I touched
one with my finger tips and it nearly fell over, a stiff breeze would have sent it over and I worry that it is a hazard to pedestrians.” The sign has since been fixed again but Clive still doesn’t believe the sign has been adequately reinstalled. “Surely, if you are paying someone to do a job you want it done right the first time.” An email Clive received at one point in the exchange outlined that council’s contractors would come and remove the signs. “Do children not have a value anymore? That sign was put there to remind motorists that there are children walking on the road.” The 20km signs are just as vital, Clive says as the temporary bridge is more like a BMX ramp and it would be dangerous to take it at a higher speed. The temporary bridge is also a cause for concern for Clive and he has had exchanges with council regarding this matter which have changed from the bridge being fixed under insurance claims to it no longer being covered by insurance, to an uncertainty over when it will in fact be fixed. An issue with dumped rubbish dating back two years has also got Clive questioning council’s capabilities. It was that long ago that dead wandering dew he sprayed revealed several black rubbish bags down a bank near the bridge and by the time council responded the rubbish was buried under the new plant growth. A Waikato District Council spokesperson
This photo shows the same spot fas left image but from earlier in May 2018 where rubbish was found. The rubbish is still there but over the past two years vegetation has grown over the rubbish to cover it up.
acknowledges that the structural integrity of the signs was not adequate and they are sending contractors out to concrete in the signs and a maintenance crew will be going back this week to look for the rubbish again. In response to the temporary bridge issue the spokesperson says, last year culverts were not included on council’s schedule
of assets to be covered by insurance and the temporary bridge is now an uninsured asset. The programme of roading works is done on a priority basis throughout the district and the bridge will be permanently repaired when funding becomes available. Janine Jackson
Above images show the repair work done on various signs. The signs have been put straight back into the ground again, without removing the dirt that had fallen in to the hole from the signs originally falling over, which can be shown by the section of unpoainted pole at the bottom of the sign.

Young local surfers picked for New Zealand Junior Surfing Team
F
resh from the announcement of the impressive New Zealand Surfing Team, twelve talented juniors were named in the New Zealand Junior Surfing Team last Wednesday, including Brie Bennet and Kora Cooper from Raglan.
Top image: Brie Bennet. Bottom image: Kora Cooper. Both young surfers competed at the 2018 Health 2000 National Surfing Championships held in Gisborne this year. Image: Cory / NZ Surfing Magazine.
The junior team sees a strong showing from Raglan, Bay of Plenty and Christchurch with three surfers a piece, as well as surfers being selected from Gisborne, Whangarei and Oakura Brie Bennett and Caleb Cutmore (Ham) were the last Kiwi surfers to compete in an international event when they took on the Rip Curl GromSearch International Final staged at Raglan earlier this month. The youngest surfer in the team is 14-year-old Kora Cooper who is joined by Tom Robinson (Whangarei) and Myka Black (Chch) in the Under 16 Boys Division. The three young surfers will have to predominantly draw on their domestic experience gained here in New Zealand as they take on the best in the world and immerse themselves in the international arena. The team will compete at the 2018 VISSLA ISA World Junior Championship being held at Huntington Beach, California, USA from the 27th October – 4thNovember. In 2017 the New Zealand Team placed tenth overall. USA won the event beating Hawaii, Japan and Australia who finished second through fourth respectively. The championship is the largest junior surfing event in the world playing host to over 300 surfers from 41 nations in 2017 when the event was held in Japan. 2018 marks the first year that all divisions are gender equal at the event with three surfers in each of the four divisions contested.

An occasional column with Aaron Mooar, Station Manager of Raglan Community Radio and the host of the Morning Show.
I
played a talk by Robin Grille a few weeks back called ‘Parenting for a Peaceful World’ and then followed that by reading something Robin wrote about emotional intelligence and our education system’s strong focus on IQ and development. I want to be clear as this point, that this is not meant as a criticism of teachers, or teaching in general, or even the education
system itself. This time I think the debate is about what we value as a culture. Robin Grille says: “Our intellect-driven culture stresses the need to teach children how to think, reason and perceive. We are new and unsteady beginners in our efforts to teach children how to feel, how to create, and how to navigate successfully the choppy waters of human relations. He also says: “... it has been recognized that intelligence, just like money, cannot
ensure happiness. Interest in children's emotional development is gaining in popularity and has gained renewed attention from psychologists”. I remember meeting old classmates in my first years of work and laughing about how useless our degrees had been in preparing us for our jobs. It was actually worse than we thought though, because it was the skills I’d learnt outside the education system that were helping me the most in doing my job. In particular, my ability to connect with people made the key stress points of my job much easier to negotiate. Put more simply, if I could be mates with the contractors and clients I was working with then we wouldn’t need to keep referring to the legal contracts that we’d all signed with each other. And it totally makes sense; how could sitting silently in a lecture theatre while one person talked for an hour possibly help me with the complexities of maintaining relationships in the stressful situations I kept finding in the building industry? Come to think of it, it might explain why bullying seemed to be the dominant communication method in that industry. Given that emotional development is essential to navigating the adult world and given that schools are structured to focus mostly on intellectual development, it could be argued that a badly run (and preferably
small) school might be better for a child’s long-term prospects than a perfectly streamlined institution where thousands of students are taught by highly professional staff all delivering standardised curriculums. Obviously, it’s way more complicated than that, but I reckon it’s something we should think about. I imagine teachers find it hard to just be cogs in a machine, too, with most of them seemingly keen on developing their students’ emotional abilities where they can. Given the teacher/pupil ratios they’re working with, it’s amazing that they achieve anything in this regard. Nonetheless, we all have memories of teachers who manged to connect with and inspire us. Here’s a weird thing though - I’m really pleased I found a way to tie this concept to our children’s job prospects because these days that seems more important to our culture than simply wanting to develop our kids’ emotional intelligence because we love them and want them to be whole humans.

Waipa farmers look to Whaingaroa Harbour Care for water quality management advice
Whaingaroa Harbour Care hosted a group of about 40 farmers from Piopio last week.
L
ast Thursday, a group of farmers from Piopio, as well as Beef and Sheep farming representatives from the area, congregated in Raglan to see how Whaingaroa Harbour Care’s (WHC) work over the years has helped improve the quality of the Raglan harbour and waterways.
It’s hard to believe that 25 years ago the water quality in the Raglan harbour was so bad that there were often ‘no swimming’ and ‘do not collect shellfish’ signs up in certain areas, not to mention the permanent sea ulcers that surfers seemed to get – usually an indicator of poor water quality. Taking a community-centric approach, WHC has worked hard to improve the water quality of the Raglan harbour and waterways
to its current condition, having planted around 1.6 million trees for riparian planting in and around Raglan to date. WHC has won awards for their successful projects and have been recognized for their outstanding commitment to sustainable land management. The WHC model for riparian management– the care of waterway banks and its vegetation – is often referred to as a successful national model for best practice.
WHC hosted a group of about 40 farmers in Raglan to show them what they had achieved in the Whaingaroa catchment with fencing and riparian planting to see if they can adopt the management practises in the Waipa catchment. In 2016, the Waikato Regional Council publicly notified of a plan change proposal, Healthy Rivers: Plan for Change/Wai Ora: He Rautaki Whakapaipai, aimed at improving the water quality of the Waikato and Waipa rivers. With the variation to Healthy Rivers/ Wai Ora: Proposed Plan Change 1 notified in April and submissions closing last week, a summary is due to be available in mid 2018. Farmers in the King Country, who are concerned about river quality in their catchments, formed the King Country River Care Group in 2016 to address the new rules and regulations proposed in the plan change. “We came out here to see what could be achieved in our community. The farmers are keen to get on with it and be proactive in protecting waterways,” said John Reeves, a beef and sheep farmer from Piopio. “We were impressed at how WHC got so many farmers onboard and working together with the community and the subsequent difference the efforts made to the water quality., “In particular though, the way WHC work, they are very efficient and cost effective, which is a big thing for us. Most of the money is spent on the actual fencing, planting and getting on with the job rather than it being sucked up in admin and bureaucracy.”

World-leading technical and scientific experts, who call Raglan home, presented a mix of IoT (Internet of Things) technology currently being used to address environmental issues that impact Whainigaroa. Organised by local Clare Wimmer from CLIMsystems, a software design, development and marketing company designing climate change assessment software systems, the event looked at current technology used for climate change, pollution, poor water quality and waste management especially with regards to the impacts on coastal sewage control. “The local community and technology enthusiasts recognise the conditions which negatively impact the natural character of this coastal playground including pollution. This event highlighted the resources available in our community that the public might not know about.” Clare says Raglan is seen as the catalyst
for sustainable practises in relation to the environment and developing efficient technology to tackle sewage in Raglan will assist other coastal communities in dealing with these issues. Along with the various tech exhibits, four speakers from Raglan - Peter Urich, from CLIMsystems and the International Global Change Institute, Dougal Greer from eCoast Marine Consulting and Research, Sebastien Boulay from MetOcean Solutions and Rick Thorpe from Xtreme Zero Waste and Raglan Permaculture Network - talked about the technology they use to tackle environmental issues. They also addressed concerns and future needs for an efficient land-based sewage system. Clare says developing an efficient IoT to tackle sewage in Raglan will assist other coastal communities in dealing with these issues. CLIMsystems have developed a free APP designed to show the future impact of sea level rises available on their website www. climsystems.com.

his weekend we had our annual HopuHopu 10-aside Tournament.

12th Grade team
Grade 7 lost their first match to Marist and won their second against Huntly. They had a false start with playing the wrong team in their final game. They got seven minutes deep and had to stop play. They then went on to play the right team, which ended in a draw. The whole team played hard and their coaches and managers are very proud of them.

Recovery with Irma: My story part two J uly 25, 2015 was the day I decided not to die.
I was 37 and by that stage I was drinking a bottle of whiskey and 3 bottles of wine a day, just to feel 'normal'. I never thought I’d turn into ‘that type of drinker’, but I did.
Everything around me fell apart. A combination of ill-health, surgery, and loss pushed me over the edge and I was losing grip on reality. I was trying to numb and outrun the grief with alcohol. It was so painful that I wondered if I would ever be happy again. I was thinking about ending it all no one knew that death felt like a good option to me. Yet, I had the awareness that this was not my time to go yet. When things are shaky and nothing is working, we might realise that we are on the verge of something. We might realise that it is a very vulnerable and tender place, and thattenderness can go either way. We can shut down and feel bitter or we can touch in on that raw quality. There is something tender and jagged about crisis. This awareness saved me.
Recovery with Irma is a new opinion column with Irma Schutte. Irma supports men and women who are ready to create their own alcohol-free happiness. She offers her clients a holistic and unique approach by combining her experience as a clinic homeopath (British Institute of Homeopathy), certified health coach (Institute for Integrative Nutrition) and recovered addict (sober since July 2015). Her work on holistic addiction recovery, mental health and natural medicine has been featured in popular publications such as Elephant Journal, NZ Women’s Weekly, Sivana East and more.
Proud to support our community Mark Frost from Bayleys real estate is proud to be sponsoring the Raglan Area School Sports Teams. Along with the Senior Soccer Team (pictured below) Mark is supporting the Senior Basketball and Junior Rugby Teams. And there is a Pirate Pizza Player of the day each week for each team. Mark is delighted to be sponsoring our local winter sports teams.
others who are ready to create habits that serve them. Something that was horrifying and scary had turned into a gift. Life is like that. We never know why things happen the way they do. My abusive relationship with alcohol taught me more about myself than anything else ever had. Don’t get me wrong - it’s not about making alcohol the enemy. Everyone has a choice about what they do or do not drink. For me it wasn’t about whether or not I had a drinking problem either. The real question I was asking myself was ‘Is alcohol enhancing the quality of my life and helping me grow?’. If you drink and it improves your health - keep going. If you drink and it strengthens the harmony and connection within your personal relationships - fantastic. If you drink and it creates for you more self-worth - awesome. If you drink and it betters your bank account - what’s the problem?
What I really wanted to end was an identity that no longer served me. Everything that I had not been able to see about myself before was suddenly dramatised. I was done attaching to my perceived suffering and ready to heal. To recover I knew I had to let go of my relationship with alcohol, feel the void, and fill the void with new healthy habits.
If you drink and you’re able to nail your life goals with gusto, drive and enthusiasm - wonderful.
And so it happened. I decided not to die. Instead, I reached out and let go of my need to control the situation on the morning of 25 July 2015.
If you drink and it fills your life with a sense of calm and contentment - go you for discovering happiness in an external source!
The hardest part for me was to surrender and acknowledge that I needed outside help. For too long my pride and ego prevented me from being vulnerable and speaking my truth, yet this is what shifted things for me. With professional guidance and support I got to wor and committed myself to a whole new way of thinking, being and living.
If your existence actually improves when you have alcohol then what I write, teach and learn about won’t resonate with you.
I booked myself into rehab for four weeks. There I remedies.

natural
I elevated my mood using highpotency supplements and slowly weened myself off an anti-depressant and sleeping pills. This was a personal decision. I was encouraged to remain on medication by the medical team in the rehab centre. After rehab I created for myself a nutritional program to restore my neurotransmitters using good quality fats, proteins, super foods like Peruvian maca and a plant-rich diet. I got CBT and NLP therapy. I saw a counsellor.
If you drink and you’re still able to show up as a present parent - keep enjoying your wine. If you drink and it reduces your anxiety and depression - magnificent.
You’re unique. I’m not. Alcohol was adding worry, guilt, shame, regret, fatigue, grogginess and unhappiness to my life. For me, the key was to shift my old habit and create new healthy and powerful ones. It was about letting go of my relationship with alcohol so that it was no longer a way for me to escape, self-soothe or be ‘pretend’ happy. I believe we all deserve to feel fully connected to life and ourselves. In my experience, alcohol severs this potential. In service always. Irma. www.irmaschutte.com hello@irmaschutte.com 0278902040

What you do matters!
We are facing global climate change. Now. Greenhouse gases have been building up since the industrial revolution, trapping heat and warming the planet - we’ve all seen pictures of the melting polar ice caps and sad polar bears....NZ has already warmed by about 0.9°C since 1900. Future temperature increases will depend on what we do next to reduce emissions. Without concerted global action to reduce emissions,N.Z.’s temp is expected to rise by about 3.5°C by the end of the century: this would mean serious sea level rise, more flooding, droughts & wildfires. But there is still time to turn this around! How we live our lives today will determine what kind of world the next generation inherits. Take a look at the infographic on the right and see how much you can contribute to stopping cilmate change. The top four from this study include having fewer children, living without a car, avoiding long-haul flights and eating a plant-based (mostly vegetarian) diet - not easy but food for thought! (study by Wynes & Nicholas, 2017; infographic by Sara Chodosh)
A note from the Xtreme Team
Our winter is definitely here Raglan, hope everyone is staying warm and dry. If you are looking for one of those feel-good winter meal inspirations, check out the ‘Love Food Hate Waste’ website www.lovefoodhatewaste.co.nz . This site has heaps of cheap, easy and tasty meals you can create with leftovers from your fridge and cupboard. Using leftovers can help decrease the amount of avoidable foodwaste from your household, seeing only necessary foodwaste ending up in the kerbside foodwaste collection. The Xtreme ZeroWaste foodwaste collection has been collecting 2 – 4 tonnes per week. Over 150 tonnes of foodwaste has been collected since August 2017, this has all been turned into nutritious Superfood Compost. Now is a great time of year to get your gardens in order, top up your beds with compost for spring planting and feed your fruit trees. We currently have an abundance of bulk and bagged Superfood Compost for sale. If you would like to purchase some of this beautiful nutrient rich compost you can pick up trailer loads or we can deliver, please contact Liz on 022 301 3464 to organise your bulk order or pick up some bags. XZW would like to give a big shout out to the community for making the effort to separate foodwaste and reduce waste to landfill. Not only are we composting lots of foodwaste we are collecting 10,000 less blue pre-paid bags compared with last year. Even though Raglan has had the busiest summer on record we sent less to landfill! Thanks for your dedication and helping XZW maintain our 75% diversion from landfil rate as one of the highest in New Zealand. Minimising your waste to landfill can mean that you need to put out rubbish bags less frequently or you might like to switch to the our 30 litre yellow prepaid bags so you can still put it out weekly. These yellow bags can be found at retail outlets in town or at Kaahu’s Nest at the XZW site on Te Hutewai Rd. If you can’t find them in your local store, please let XZW know. If you have a big clean up job, of rubbish or recyclables, XZW has a large trailer for hire and also 7 day hire of 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5m3 mini skips. If you hire one of our miniskips please remember to separate your recyclables and place them on the top of the skip, this helps with the sorting and the diverting of waste from landfill. Fresh Superfood Compost ready for your garden
Stay warm Whaingaroa!
It’s time to grab those winter woolies, curl up inside and watch the wild winter weather outside! You can stay warm, save money on your power bill AND help protect the environment! (by putting less strain on resources that provide power)with a few easy steps: • Curtains are key - line them with any second layer of fabric • Open your curtains & windows during the day to let the sun and warmth in & close them before it gets dark • Only heat the room that you are in - close off unused rooms • Keeping the air dry, makes it easier to heat : try not to dry clothes indoors as this creates moisture in the air, open a window when you are showering and when cooking on the stove top + use pot lids to reduce steam when cooking.

The total area is 15999m² or almost 4 acres which offers lots of options. Practical covenants allow for a range of designs and materials for your new lifestyle home or modern bach retreat ideas. The block has a nice building site requiring a little levelling which really takes advantage of the awesome views on offer. Mature stands of manuka and native bush surround the block on most sides creating privacy and fostering a natural microclimate for birdlife and providing shelter. Electricity is available for easy connection on the property.
Upper Wainui Wonderland Almost 2 acres, close to the surf and less than 5 minutes from town with views of the ocean, harbour, town, countryside and Mt Karioi. This 8 year old home is double glazed and north facing with a spacious, open plan living area opening to a deck on the northern side and a large, covered deck at the rear. With 3 double bedrooms, master with ensuite and walk in wardrobe, plus double garage and an office or sleep out. A huge area of flat land surrounds the house for the kids to kick a ball and for you to park any number of vehicles or the boat. Call Chrissy for more information.
