How would you describe Nia? I would describe Nia as an amazing, joyful experience of moving that is quite unique and fun. It’s a fusion of nine different movement philosophies - dance, martial arts and mindful movement arts - so you get to experience moving in many different ways How did you become involved with Nia? I came upon Nia in Ecuador while I was staying at a yoga studio. They had Nia classes on their timetable and I was like “what is that!?” I was told it was a yoga-ry-dancey-martial arts thing... I needed to try it. What training is required to become an instructor? You need to have completed a 7 day White Belt course, where you experientially learn about the body and mind. You also must be licensed to teach with the Nia Technique association. Who is Nia great for? Nia is great for everyone regardless of your age, physical fitness or dance “aptitude”. One of the principals of Nia is The Body’s Way. Through this you learn to become more aware of your body and move it in a way that is pleasurable and joyful to you - so the class instantly becomes one that you tailor to suit your needs. And guys don’t get put off by the word “dance”. Both men and women can find Nia a worthwhile practice. For women, the
W

strength element of the martial arts may be their area to improve, for men it might be the fluidity of dance that is their challenge to overcome. Perhaps flexibility and agility are areas you’d like to work on? There is something for everyone in Nia. What is your background in terms of sport and dance? I’ve always enjoyed sports, at first for its competitive nature and now, more so for the health side of things. When I was younger I was involved in netball teams, cross-country, waka and so on but my main passions were water sports - swimming and underwater hockey (I know... Google it - it’s very strange!). I started snowboarding while at Otago Uni where I studied for a Phys Ed degree and then learnt to surf after that. Surfing has been it ever since really. That’s what led me to Ecuador, the surf, which led me to discovering Nia. In terms of dance, my sister and I grew up learning traditional Kiribati dancing from my mother, so the idea of music and movement have always been familiar to me What attracted you to raglan? The surf... That was pretty much it! I originally moved from Wellington to live in Hamilton but lucky for me a friend suggested living in Raglan and commuting. As it turns it it’s not such a novel idea, but at the time, to me, it was genius! I’m glad that happened and I moved here - apart from the amazing surf, the community feel in Raglan is very special. When and where are the Nia classes in Raglan? Nia classes are held at the Union Church hall on Stewart Street every Monday and Wednesday at 5:30 -6:30pm and on Friday at 9:30 -10:30am. First class free.
Info afternoon to peddle planned MTB track’s merits
Proposed outline of the grade 2-3 mountain bike trail network
R
aglan’s own mountain bike track beneath the forest of pine trees near the Wainui Reserve trig could well be up and running by this spring if there’s enough interest and if the project attracts sufficient funds come August when community grant applications are processed. The five to ten kilometre-long track – which would cater for all ages and skill levels – will take only six weeks to build, says Raglan Mountain Bike Club treasurer Dirk de Ruysscher. He’s pretty sure now the planned track will soon become a reality. To generate interest in the project the club’s organised an info afternoon – not just for members but for all cyclists – starting at Wainui Reserve on Sunday week, where the benefits of the facility will be outlined and locals can see the site’s potential for themselves. “Definitely the focus of the day is just to have a look,” says club president Merren Tait, a keen cyclist who came to town several years ago and soon after set up the MTB club. “We’ll start up high on the reserve and walk or bike across farmland
to the top of the pine trees.” While some may choose to return the same way, others could carry on through the pine forest – where the track will be built – to Ocean Beach carpark at the end of Riria Kereopa Memorial Drive. The club – which is now an incorporated society – recently emailed members encouraging them to support the new track by paying for the first time their annual subscriptions, money which would help meet initial costs. Local GP and Karioi Classic regular Mike Loten reinforced that need so the design plan for the first three kilometres of a “high quality single track network” could be paid for. Adam King from Rotorua company Empire of the Dirt had produced the plan, Mike told members, and it was he who has also designed the “fantastic” new bermed tracks in the Redwoods (Whakarewarewa Forest). “We will get Rotorua-quality tracks on our doorstep,” Mike enthused. Meantime Merren has told club members it’s taken at least three years to get to the point where mountain biking is officially part of the Wainui Reserve’s management plan. “MTB tracks have been signposted for development, but the plan
Sample of what locals can expect
doesn’t detail any processes in establishing the tracks.” Dirk has put the cost of the $49,000 MTB track in perspective by pointing out a swimming pool cover costs $75,000 and a modest children’s playground around $100,000. He believes the facility will be good for the town because it will give families and sportspeople something else to do, in all weathers, besides surfing. To check out the MTB site, meet at the far carpark of Wainui Reserve on Sunday April 12 at 2pm. Edith Symes

Long and winding roads lead team ‘k3m’ to Taupo’s shores
F
our Raglan women can safely say they know all the back roads around Ruapuke and Mt Karioi intimately. That’s because for weeks now the team of working mums with young families have gone walking, night and day, in training for this weekend’s Oxfam Trailwalker. It’s a charity event attracting more than 1000 walkers or runners annually to Taupo, all keen to complete within 36 hours a 100-kilometre trail – boasting some of the North Island’s “finest” scenery – which skirts the shores of the lake and takes in the hilly terrain of surrounding farmland. “We’re ready for this,” Kim Waterson told the Chronicle last week of the challenge she and her friends are looking forward to. They’re heading south Friday night in a campervan and will start walking the trail at dawn, along with a few hundred other teams of four doing the same. Sometime on Sunday from 6pm, they’ll finish their endurance walk. And yes they’ve done a couple of night walks – after getting their primary school-aged kids to bed – in preparation for the event which demands torches and head lamps to light the way. They’ve also added another 8km onto the 44km Karioi Classic route – a “oneoff” training exercise. So what motivates the four to commit to such a huge undertaking? “To be honest, we want to contribute to a good cause,” they say. “And hey, it’s one way to connect with good friends!” They’ve all enjoyed socialising while training, having been a bit short on what they call girlfriend time in their busy lives. They also reckon endurance events and
Oxfam 100Km walk crew: Kristi, Keri, Malene and Kim helping people seem like a good fit. Oxfam Trailwalker New Zealand is part of a global network raising money for families fighting poverty in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. While teams are encouraged to work together to raise at least $2000, team ‘k3m’ as they’re called because of their first names – Kim, Kristi Daniel, Keri Oetzel and Malene Felsing – have already exceeded that target by more than $300 thanks to their families and friends. And they’re hoping for more generous donations yet, before the mid-June fundraising deadline. The reality of walking 100km with few
stops – not even for beauty sleep – is now “settling in”, they say, but they reckon last year’s local team ‘Raglan Wahine’ have been a wealth of information and advice. ‘K3m’ has also got a two-strong support crew, one of whom did the walk last year in a different team. Now, as Malene says, they can but hope to become “thick-skinned” during the physical and mental challenge, both to reduce the risk of blisters and to ward off abuse as they begin to hobble. Support ‘k3m’ by donating online – http://www.oxfamtrailwalker.org. nz/otw14/teams/k3m-kristi-kim-kerimalene. Edith Symes
Light exercise group going strong Maintaining your mobility can get harder and harder as you get older and one of Raglan’s longest running groups, the Light Exercise Group, helps community members stay active and their sessions held twice a week are as popular as ever. Formed 18 years ago, the Light Exercise Group holds their sessions in the St. Peter’s Hall every Monday and Thursday. Over the years the group has acquired several pieces of equipment like treadmills, exercycles, rowing machines and recumbent machines through grants, fundraising and donations. Running for an hour, the first half hour is spent on the machines and the second half is spent doing stretches and floor exercises. Run by instructor, Julie Cockram, she says, ”It can be a bit harder to get active once you get to this stage of your life and knowing that I’m being helpful and seeing how much people enjoy themselves is a rewarding experience.’ With members’ ages ranging from 50 to 80 plus, many members remark how their fitness, mobility, health and their attitude to life has improved after being with the group for a few months. Group president Noleen McCathie who has been involved for a number of years now remarks on the effect the exercise has had on her health. “I get tests done for my bone density and in the past couple of years there’s been no deterioration, you don’t realise how important it is to keep active over the
years,” said Noleen. Having a cuppa after their Thursday sessions, there’s a social element to the group as well. “Some of the ladies carpool together and they’ll have a cup of tea on Thursday and talk about their gardens,” says Secretary/Treasurer Graham Hubert.
Raglan Light Exercise Group @ St. Peter’s Church Hall, Main Road. Every Monday and Thursday 10-11pm, $3 per session, all welcome. If any interest in an extra Wednesday session focusing on floor exercises and strengthening the core, contact Julie: 825 8187 or 856 1326. Maki Nishiyama
It’s simple: Kevin’s replacing and been replaced by Kevin T
he face was unfamiliar at first but the front office staff at Raglan police station have no trouble remembering the name of their new policeman. And it’s a fair bet it’s just the same at Timaru police headquarters down south. That’s what happens when a Kevin replaces a Kevin twice over. The new Raglan arrival is Senior Constable Kevin McGartland, whose predecessor here was Kevin Bailey and whose successor down south – by remarkable coincidence – is one Kevin Grant. Kevin – McGartland, that is – has been on the job here just over a month now but is flying back to Timaru sometimes on his days off, as he did last week, because his wife’s still there while they try to sell their house. The McGartlands had been wanting to move north for ages, and in another coincidence of sorts the opportunity came
about not only because Kevin Bailey had recently retired here but also because the Timaru Kevin’s police dog was due to retire. The couple came to Raglan in midJanuary for Kevin’s interview and a lookaround, liked what they saw and so with his getting the job it “worked out real well”. “Raglan is a lovely wee spot – friendly and welcoming,” the 51-year-old says. He’s already helping coach a Raglan senior rugby side and he’d also like to get into fishing when he’s off duty. His wife is a nurse and they have four sons in their early to mid-20s who variously live in France, Dunedin, Christchurch and Timaru. Kevin’s been policing 10 years now and while Timaru has a much bigger station – it serves a population of 27,000 – he points out he’s done “quite a bit of relieving” in small South Island stations. Despite the downsize he sees his overall task as the same, and that is to

ensure “you treat everyone fairly”. “It’s good here, it’s straightforward,” he says. “I can’t see too much difference in policing here except maybe with things like Raglan’s high tourist traffic.” Edith Symes
Pim Blair: For the love of horses
Also at H.G Webb House, Cnr Boundary & Victoria Streets, Hamilton
Raglan West resident Pim Blair’s life has always been connected, one way or another, with horses. Early memories growing up near Gisborne were of riding horses to school. Her Dad always had horses handy at the homestead. Pim maintains her affinity with the animal stems from those early days, observing how her father behaved and treated them. Since then the former jockey has raced horses all over New Zealand, worked for trainers and owners doing track-work and spent a large chunk of her life developing an uncanny and very real bond with them. Connections to Raglan also run deep. For 40 years Pim and husband Scotty brought horses out to Raglan to enjoy the beach. When Scotty became unwell the couple made the decision to finally settle in Raglan some 15 years ago. “It is especially good for racing horses to have a spell on the beach and in the water. The sand and water are forgiving unlike the often hard tracks they race on. The environment is peaceful.” Today Pim is known throughout the country and overseas as a person who can bring a horse back well from injury and after operations. And when it comes to ironing out behaviour problems with the ‘naughty ones’ she is trusted to know the best way to go at this as well. “I’ve just returned Harold to Johny Morell at Taupiri. He’s been with me a few weeks. I gave him the name Evil, short for Evil Knievel because he was a bit mad really. A beautiful horse who just needed time and enough contact with people to sort the fizziness out of him.”

Pim Blair on her horse ‘Mo’ preparing for a beach walk Key to Pim’s success is her no-rush approach. While she’s busy between horses, when she’s with each one, she takes her time, unlike the more pressurecooker environment that exists today where attending to a large number of horses every day leaves little time for them to be around humans. “I give them time to breath and they come to trust and enjoy the rhythm of their day here.” ‘Takeachance’ a new arrival from Hong Kong, who Pim calls Herby, is set to spend a few months with her. The fact that owners are prepared to spend the sort of money it takes to send a horse that distance speaks volumes about the reputation within the industry Pim has acquired over the years. Her faithful pony ‘Mo’ is a beautifully natured horse. He loves the company of the visitors and gets quite put out if the
routine changes. The benefits of taking horses into the sea-water are manifold Pim says. “Salt provides a lot of healing. The deeper you can go the better.” While over the years hundreds of horses have come into her care to then be sent back to continue track-work, there have been some she has helped find other situations for, including Riding for the Disabled and horse-trekking. Carrying the sort of energy Pim does to maintain her remarkable fitness and vitality gives rise to the question about what form her own ‘breathing-out’ takes. The answer - two polar opposite pasttimes she has become passionate about; ballroom dancing and outdoor bowls. She is currently working toward sitting her international grades in ballroom dancing and is a regular at bowling weekly rollups. Sue Russell

Junior fisho’s hook up at the wharf
T Club hosted “Juniors on
he Raglan Sport Fishing
the Wharf” on Saturday 22nd March from 1.30 until 3.30 - this coincided with high tide, which sees the best fishing in the wharf area. Entry was free to all participants with all under 13’s being accompanied and entries taken up to 15 years of age. We had great weather and masses of children. The organisers were very pleased that the event had been postponed. The wharf would not have been the place to be during cyclone Lusi. All the kids got a couple of
Ice blocks and a drink care of “Fish at the Wharf” and not to be forgotten Coffee at the wharf helped out with some prizes as well. Hamilton’s Top Catch supplied the 1st 2nd and 3rd prizes and Placemakers helped out with advertising. The event is not only about the heaviest fish but also about the kids learning to handle fish for release in the correct manner. Each child got a Black Magic fish towel with instructions to wet it and for it to be used in the event of catching an undersized fish. MPI measuring tapes were placed strategically around the wharf area. This event was enjoyed by all and the Raglan Sport Fishing Club will be making this an annual event. Sheryl Hart

Smart people don’t guess the insurance value of their home Since the earthquakes in Christchurch it is now up to homeowners to provide a fixed sum insured amount to insure their homes. “Homeowners need to get their home insurance value correct for their own financial protection” says Richard Brown, Raglan based assessor for quantity surveying company, TRQ Ltd. “Industry figures show up to 80% of insured properties are heavily underinsured. The Insurance Council of NZ is so concerned that they are meeting this month to discuss what to do next.” Chief executive of the New Zealand Insurance Council, Tim Grafton (on a national radio show) said “Go to a quantity surveyor and take the responsibility for your greatest wealth asset, inform yourself what the rebuild cost should be.” “As registered quantity surveyors, we have gone to great

Masterchef book launch this weekend April is a gardening change month and is just as exciting for some of us as what spring is. You can choose to rest some parts of your garden to the call of spring, or you can prepare it for winter flowers and vegetables. Resting still means digging over and adding compost and lime add seeds of mustard, oats, or lupins. The ground is still warm, so for winter gardeners, turn over the soil, add lime, and get seeds of carrots, broad beans started. Plant out lettuce, leeks, caulis, cabbage, broccoli, spinach and silver beet. Flower garden there are many flowers to get under way, poppies, sweet peas, violas, pansies, polyanthus, wall flowers, stocks and many others. It is not really challenging times at the moment to restart gardens, other than moisture. Same for winter herbs, parsley, rosemary and chives. Garden maintenance is full on, raking leaves for the compost bin, digging soil, pruning and hedge cutting. Taking cuttings of roses, lavender, fushias etc. Spring bulbs in your ground you can split up now and expand their areas. New bulbs are in garden centres now. Time now to plant fruit trees. Fertilize and manure, shrubs, bushes, roses, citrus, your lawns and fruit trees. Those who mulched with pea straw, dig it in with compost as it has nitrogen fixing nodules.
Manuring is not complicated, even if your get a bag of sheep pellets and distribute it around, it is exactly what is required. Storage time. Potatoes, kumara, pumpkins, butter cups, onions. Make certain all to be stored are perfect and do not have skin ruptures as they could rot. Storage has to be dry and dark. Even apples, my parents stored their best ballarat apples on wire netting in the car shed roof. Save seeds of beans, cucumber, tomatoes, potatoes, peas, sweet peas, marigolds for next season. April Moon. New Moon on the 29th April( 31st March) Full Moon 15th April. Seed planting between the 2nd to the 11th. Maintenance of gardens after the 20th. It is not a dramatic moon influenced month for gardening or tide sizes.(My opinion) Plant of the Month. Two - Iceland Poppie plants and Sweet Pea seeds. KIDS GIVEAWAY. Eight bundles of twenty leek plants. Punch hole in prepared soil, drop in leek plant, water and keep moist. A welsh delight. These will be available at the Chronicle office from Monday the 7th. Just have fun with the last of the sun. The Raglan Wharf Seagull.

Raglan Kindergarten fundraiser success
8 RAGLAN Chronicle
Raglan Kindergarten have been striving to raise funds for our new carpentry area. It started with our annual Hāngi last year, which raised $1,200, and finished with our food stall at the Maui’s Dolphin Day. We sold sausages and bread, mussel fritters, baking, and cold drinks, there was something for everyone. We also entered a raft in the recycled raft race, which achieved its own minor victory by crossing the finish line in one piece. We managed to raise $700 that day, and with that we purchased a new tool cabinet loaded with new equipment, a new wood box, and a new work bench. The tamariki have thoroughly enjoyed all of the new equipment, while doing lots of building, painting, hammering and sawing. This type of play helps the development of hand eye coordination, as well as developing their practical thinking, along with being a wonderful place for social interaction, and a whole heap of fun. We would like to thank all of the parents
and Whānau that helped and donated with our fundraisers, the rowers in the raft race, and our community who continue to support us. Raglan Kindy Team
