Celebrated Raglan foodie has island cuisine on plate

Retirement was off the menu for foodie Colin Chung when he sold his iconic café Vinnies seven years ago.

Not only did the celebrated restaurateur set up his own catering business in Raglan – which takes up about half his working life – but Colin called on all his old contacts from Vinnies’ days and is now busy creating modern cuisine for the tourist industry in Fiji, Samoa, the Cook Islands and the Marshalls. But it’s not all South Sea Island paradise kind of stuff, he reckons. It’s a “hard Marlin Cafe & Grill. Dine in.

Think blue lagoon cruises to the remote Yasawa Islands in Western Fiji, for instance – flies, mosquitos, no electricity, a broken generator and serving warm beer to tourists.

Raglan Trust Hospital to be sold Opening the meeting with an overview of the key reasons to sell, which mainly relate to the on-going costs of maintenance and the unfavourable lease in place for a further 12 years, Board Chairman Peter Storey said the Board found themselves ‘painted into a corner’ given their responsibilities to duty of care toward the asset. “We all want the same thing”, said Mr Storey. “We all want the hospital to continue to be here in Raglan providing care for the sick and elderly. Selling the hospital we think is our best option to see this happens”. Those gathered asked for clearer and more specific financial information so they could ‘get their heads’ around why the Board supported selling a valued community asset. Not all were satisfied with the information given. Local Lorna Rogers said she believed the original plan was for the community to own the hospital. Mr Storey responded the Trust had been formed to ensure the hospital and rest home operated in Raglan and it was not tied to ownership under the Trust deed. Residents from Sunset Heights, a residential development crossleased with the hospital site were worried about the impact on their properties of selling the hospital. One owner, Beti Broome, wanted an assurance that resident’s property rights would not be affected when the sale of the hospital went through. Trust member Norris Peart said it was important a separate discussion with residents happened but that he did not see anything to be alarmed about. Barry Dalbeth’s comments resonated with many when he said the community were lucky to have someone willing to buy it. “At the moment, neither party is making money – that shows something is wrong”, he said. The current valuation of the property is ‘strapped’ to the type of lease in place. Mr Storey said the valuation received was 20% less than it would be

Following ‘heated’ discussion and a show of hands at the second meeting about the future of Raglan’s Trust Hospital the Board informed the community of it plans to go ahead with sale of the property to the current operator.

due to the lease. The lease was in place before the current members of the Trust came on board and they were not able to change it. When asked about guarantees the hospital would not close and would remain accessible for Raglan residents Mr Storey said a “water-tight” caveat would be placed over the title to ensure the hospital remained and it was being worked on at this time. He explained the only thing that would threaten the hospital’s existence would be if the Trust itself were to cease. “It is up to Raglan people to ensure that it continues, thus guaranteeing the existence of the hospital”, said Mr Storey. Others were concerned about what would happen to the funds the Trust would receive when the property was sold. Janet Leonard asked what plans the Trust had for the funds from the sale. Mr Peart responded the community would have a ‘moment’ with future use of the funds. “We need to set up some way that we have community consultation on use of the funds. One idea may be to invest the funds with a certain amount available for distribution”, he said. Following the meeting Bill Ringer expressed his frustration at the process. “It’s my opinion that the Trust Board did not take the public into its confidence soon enough. I feel that we hold the hospital in trust for those who set it up all those years ago”, said Mr Ringer. Rosie Worsp said her greatest concern was for the elderly of Raglan. She hopes the Trust will work on bringing information more effectively to the public. Now the decision has been made the Trust Board will concentrate on settling the sale over the next few months and will turn its attention to a new future direction. “The Trust’s object is to look after the sick and elderly of Raglan district. This really matters to us. We had a duty of care to the asset and had to make significant financial decisions at this difficult time to ensure we fulfil this responsibility”, said Mr Storey.

Pipwharauroa Trail opens to the public On Saturday 27 August the much anticipated Pipiwharauroa Trail will open to the public. After an early morning opening ceremony, a group from the Raglan Mountain-biking Club will be the first to experience the 18 kilometre return track over privatelyowned farmland on the Wharauroa Plateau. At 430 metres above sea level, the trail winds over the Te Uku Wind Farm site which affords outstanding 360 degree views across the greater Waikato, to include Raglan, Kawhia and Aotea harbours, and on a clear day, Mt Taranaki. Waikato District deputy mayor, Dynes Fulton will open the trail and is confident it will become a landmark Waikato district attraction. “The trail offers a unique opportunity to experience the history of the site, unmatched views of the Waikato and a chance to get close to a number of the 137 metre high turbines in operation on the wind farm. It is an outstanding asset and we appreciate the generosity of the land-owners and Meridian Energy in making this possible.” The name, Pipwharauroa Trail was decided after the public

were given the opportunity to submit a name for the track to the Waikato Times. The winning name was submitted by Brenda and Trevor George of Ohaupo, whose successful entry will be shown on a plaque to be installed at the site. The couple submitted the following wording to support their entry: Maaori used to travel this route to harvest pipiwharauroa, the shining cuckoo. They followed this trail in search of the bountiful supply of fresh food. The return of these birds from their winter migration indicated it was time to plant spring crops. At the summit, a historic site treasured by local iwi, Ngaati Maahanga, is known as Te Tiho o Tonganui. The site pays homage to three ancestors, Mahanga the eponymous ancestor and namesake of the tribe, Tonganui the warrior and Hone Waitere, the last Maaori owner of the Wharauroa block. The formation of the Pipiwharauroa Trail over existing paper roads has been made possible with the co-operation and goodwill of the landowners. Cyclists and walkers are required to keep to the track which covers private farmland. The track crosses steep to rolling terrain and will take approximately four hours to walk or two hours to cycle return.

Raglan identity on song at NZ Karaoke Champs Being judged second best karaoke singer in the country might have anyone else singing from the treetops, but not Jack Grace. “I didn’t plan to come second,” says the Raglan identity and one-time ultradistance runner who has a reputation for never doing things by halves. While he missed out on the winner’s trip to Ireland for the world final in September, Jack still picked up a trophy and a

cash prize to the tune of $1000 for his performances in what were billed the Karaoke World Championships NZ. The semi and grand finals of the contest were held at SkyCity in Hamilton last Friday and Saturday nights, and brought together the country’s top 30 karaoke singers following a process of elimination through regional finals. Despite some disappointment Jack concedes second place is a good “stepping stone” for a

return to his lifelong passion for singing and music. And he had a great contingent of Raglan family and friends out supporting him on the two big nights, he adds. Jack now has more plans afoot for performance gigs in the coming year. He’s got a history in music, he explains, after arriving in Raglan six years ago from Auckland where he was entertainment manager at the Sheraton Hotel. Edith Symes

Habitat for Humanity builds home in Raglan

After four years of hard work, Whaingaroa Affordable Housing Trust is delighted to be able to announce an affordable housing initiative for the Raglan area.

For this initiative, Whaingaroa Affordable Housing Trust has entered into a partnership with Habitat for Humanity Central North Island (CNI). Habitat builds and renovates homes on an affordable basis for low-income families in housing need. The families get the opportunity to rent, then own the home. Since

1995, Habitat has built 95 houses in the Central North Island region. Now, together with Whaingaroa Affordable Housing Trust, Habitat is able to build in Raglan for the very first time. The build is set for March next year. A section has been obtained within walking distance of the school and the shops and Habitat is drawing up the plans for a four bedroom house. The house, like each Habitat home, is set to be built with the help of a big group of volunteers working alongside the selected family. Already several Raglan volunteers have signed up to help out.

The Whaingaroa Affordable Housing Trust will be holding two meetings in Raglan (a daytime and an evening meeting) to inform the local community of the build and raise support. Shirley Bennett, Family Support Manager of Habitat for Humanity CNI, will be present to talk about the Habitat process and to answer any questions. She will explain the family selection method and will give information about opportunities to volunteer. Shirley will also talk about the ‘A Brush with Kindness’ programme. This is a Habitat programme that provides lowincome homeowners who are

struggling to maintain their house with essential maintenance and repairs on an affordable-terms basis. The programme is especially targeted at the elderly on a pension and people living with a disability, but is open to all. The Whaingaroa Affordable Housing Trust is keen to support this Habitat scheme too, and take things as far as possible for the people in Raglan. Local input is essential for any Habitat project to be successful, so everybody is invited to come and join the meetings! Watch this space for meeting dates and time!

Whaingaroa writer looks to lone island lifestyle for inspiration The prospect of eight weeks of isolation on brooding, bush-clad Kapiti Island with only the kaka for c o m p a n y Antonio Te Maioha doesn’t faze Raglan actor and writer Antonio Te Maioha. Truth is he’s actually looking forward to the “solitariness” of it all – “if there is such a word”, he adds.

And once ensconced on the northern end of the nature reserve, where Antonio’s headed early next month as Kapiti writer in residence, he’s been told he’ll scarcely hear the distant hum of traffic from Paraparaumu Beach five kilometres across on the mainland. “I will really be able to get to know the place … to listen to the island,” says Antonio who’s hoping the solitude will inspire him to create an as yet unplanned work. But he’s also got some projects on the go including a series of stories for children featuring two adventurous characters, Pango and Puki. Antonio’s keen to explore and “take

in” the island – a world renowned, DOCadministered bird sanctuary – to get the most out of his experience as the fourth Kapiti writer in residence.

It is the only residency in the country created and run by Maori – the Tau mai e Kapiti – for Maori writers. Recipients are funded by Creative New Zealand and hosted by Kaitiaki o Kapiti Trust which upholds the “spiritual power” of the island. As an emerging writer Antonio has been composing and performing poems, stories and waiata at events throughout the North Island. Just last week he was in Wellington as one of a number of poets and writers invited to Te Papa Museum for the opening of the Oceania exhibition. But the 41-year-old bilingual writer and performer is probably still best known as an actor thanks to his high-profile role recently as the gladiator Barca in US television series “Spartacus”, and before that his appearances as Uncle Buddy in popular Kiwi soap “Shortland Street”. He is also a familiar face as a copresenter on the Maori Television series “Kiwi Maara”, a show which aims to revitalise Maori gardening practices. Antonio – who has whakapapa and genealogical links in Raglan – is excited at the prospect of this latest venture, although admits things are “a bit mad”

at the moment as he tries to organise his young family back here before taking up the residency. “But what an amazing reward at the end of it,” he says. He hopes something to be published might come out of the experience and, ideally, something self-perpetuating that can be “crossed over” into his performance work through the sustainability programme Enviroschools.

Meantime Whale Bay artist Jane Caird is about to take up an artist’s residency for six weeks in Fairlie near Canterbury’s Lake Tekapo, where she hopes to experience the southern mountains so often a feature of her work. The residency comes courtesy of the Dawson and Hall Gallery – now in the process of being relocated nearby and renamed The Kimbell Garage Gallery – which is run by Mackenzie Community Arts Council chairman Caley Hall. Jane, better known in Raglan as Miranda, is one of the gallery’s top-selling artists and will be selling her work from there fulltime come summer. She hopes to take lots of “research shots” to work from while snowboarding and living in the alpine environment which inspires her, she says.

Animal Health Column Solid Kauroa spring sales For Raglan People + their Pets

A stunning ‘crisp’ morning under a big blue sky heralded this year’s Kauroa Spring Cattle Fair last Thursday and despite the current high dollar and lack of feed local stock-agent Chris Leuthart SALE PRICE SCHEDULE TOP ANGUS CATTLE: $690-$780 per head GOOD ANGUS CATTLE: $600-680 per head MEDIUM ANGUS CATTLE: $550-600 per head GOOD CHAROLAIS/X CATTLE: $630-700 per head

ON A WING & A PRAYER! A juvenile northern giant petrel was found by local Raglanite Tony Agar wandering around his garage in Flax Cove. Despite almost losing a finger Tony managed to catch the nervous bird and took it to the Vet Clinic where it was assessed by veterinarian Mac Keene. Although there were no obvious signs of damage to the young bird, it was unable to fly or eat so it was decided that it should go through to Hamilton to Bill Smith (Local Wildlife/Bird rehabilitator) for specialized care.

MEDIUM CHAROLAIS/X CATTLE: $550-600 per head GOOD HEREFORD/FRESIAN STEERS: $600-$650 per head MEDIUM HEREFORD/FRESIAN STEERS: $550-$600 per head GOOD ANGUS HEIFERS: $600-$620 per head MEDIUM ANGUS HEIFERS: $500-550 per head

thought prices would be pretty solid. He wasn’t disappointed.

“We had an exceptional autumn growth and this is what we see in the condition of the stock for sale”, says Chris. All the stock is raised on coastal high country and almost all is either owner bred or reared, a factor Chris feels has contributed to Kauroa’s reputation. There are lots of reasons why Kauroa is special. The fact it’s a local sale from this area and has been since way back is significant. “Buyers return year after year and that brings a confidence to the sale”, says Chris. Trucks begin arriving first thing in the morning and in total just shy of 900 stock are sorted, penned and ready for sale by midday. Preparation for the sale day begins a few months before though. Chris visits stock on their farms, assessing weight and condition. Seeing the cattle on the ground

Bill took “Pete” the Petrel over to Morrinsville to the Anexa Animal Health ornithologicalvVet Melanie Leech, who sedated him and took x-rays. To her surprise there was a bullet in his stomach which he had obviously digested after scavenging on a carcass that had been shot. A blood test revealed very high lead levels, due to the leaching from the bullet, which explained why he was so sick. Pete was given an antidote and was closely monitored for a week, however further x-rays proved that he had been unable to pass the bullet, therefore he would require surgery to remove it.

also helps him work out the yard plan. He then organises carriers to arrive in a certain sequence so penning runs smoothly. This year, a team of 10 staff work the drafting, penning, auctioning and administration of the sale. Each person has their area of expertise. Drafting needs to be managed quietly so the stock, already a little ‘skitty’ from the journey in by truck, can be separated into size and condition without too much fuss. Watching a skilled draftsman at work, quietly separating stock, belies the skill needed to do the job well. Bidding starts with Pen 1, Simmental/X Steers, fetching just over $1,100 each. It’s a solid price which sets the tone for the day. Garry Carter, secretary/ treasurer of the Society who maintain the yards shares a little of Kauroa’s history. “When the yards were threatened with closure back in the 70’s local farmers got together and formed the Society to ensure it would stay open. That’s how much they cared. There are now very few rural yards operating”, says Garry. Three hours later with all pens through and with buyers and suppliers heading home Chris puts the success of the day largely down to very positive buyer support. After checking the pens over and with paper-work done it’s time to head down to Te Mata Club for a quiet one or two. Another of Kauroa’s fine traditions.

Message from the Coordinator If any of you have noticed that I am “missing in action” I have recently had major surgery on my foot and will be away from the House until mid October. However, I am working from home part time and it‟s “business as usual” with the help and support of a great team. I give heartfelt thanks to the team and the Committee for their support. I can be contacted by phone at home if anyone needs to talk to me. Many of you will be aware that considerable building work has been going on at the Community House over recent weeks. We have a new cover over the back stairwell to help keep staff, visitors and clients dry as they go upstairs/downstairs; a new 6 x 6 garage for the storage and sorting of donated goods for the Bargain Basement and refurbishment of the Bargain Basement to install a laundry, a small fitting room, new shelving and an upgraded office space. If you haven‟t yet had a chance to check it out, come and have a look. Winter hit with a vengeance and our hearts go out once again to the citizens of Christchurch who have added snow and slush to the horrors of rubble and liquefaction. Throughout the world our earth seems to be restless and none of us can ever know when a natural disaster will impact on us. We urge you to take concrete action to create a “Disaster” plan for your family. Have emergency supplies on hand, including supplies for your pets, (three days is the recommended minimum but 5—7 is considered optimum), essential medications, a battery powered radio (and batteries!), water, torches and, if possible, an alternative fuel cooking supply e.g. gas BBQ, camp stove or similar. Have a plan for how and where family members who are separated from each other will reconnect and consider back up plans. Talk disaster planning over with your neighbours to see if you can pool resources or find ways to help each other out. Don‟t leave this until its too late. Take action today! Back in May we arranged for WEL Energy to come and give a presentation on Home Insulation. The presenter‟s vehicle suffered a breakdown and a message did not get through to us. The apology to those who came to the presentation is late but heartfelt and was completely outside of the control of the Community House. We do have the information available for anyone who wants to know more. Chrissy

For your diary….. Electrical Safety Checks 10am onwards—Mon 15th Aug Te Reo starts 16th Aug Sewing—start date TBA Stress Management 22 & 29 Sep and 6 Oct Weight Loss weigh-ins: Wednesdays @ 4pm— Guest Speaker 24th Aug CV Writing/Assistance Thursdays by appt NA - Mondays 6.45pm AA - Thurs 6.45pm

FOUNDATION LEVEL: BEGINNERS PART 2 TE REO The Foundation Level : Part 1 Beginners Te Reo class was a great success with 14 students successfully completing the course. Our thanks to Raglan Area School for their support in accommodating this class which proved so popular that we had to move it to the School. Our thanks too to ACE and Fraser High in Hamilton. ACE funding allowed this course (and the Weaving course which was also great) to happen. We are delighted to announce that a Foundation Level: Part 2 Beginners Te Reo will continue in the second term, starting 16 August and will run for 8 weeks. The tutor will again be Rani Maaka. The course costs $40 for the 8 weeks and students will be asked to make payment for the course in advance. This saves considerable administration time during the class itself and also demonstrates a commitment to attendance which is essential for continued ACE funding. Minimum student numbers are required for this class to proceed and intending students need either to have completed the Stage 1 class or have Introductory level Te Reo language skills already. Call us today on Ph 825 8142 to register your interest or come into the Community House.

SEWING CLASSES

We have been given approval by ACE funding to run a series of sewing classes, start date TBA/timings. The tutor for these classes will be Evelien Gilbert and they will be run at the Old School Arts Centre. Minimum student numbers are needed for these classes to proceed. The funding levels are different for these classes (from the Te Reo classes) and students fall into one of two groups. Note: Fees must be paid in advance. Supported learners pay $40 for the 8 week course Unsupported Learners pay $136 for the 8 week course. Supported Learners are those with no Secondary School qualifications or Maori, Pacific Islanders or those for whom English is a second language. All others are considered Unsupported and must pay the full fee which is paid to Fraser High/ACE. Many people have a sewing machine stashed away and would love to be able to use it (especially in these economically trying times) but have never been taught or feel insecure about what is possible with their machines. Many people also have clothes in their wardrobes which could be reused with some type of embellishment or alteration. The course aims to get people up and running with their machines and/or give the participants the inspiration and opportunity to experiment with several kinds of embellishments and alterations. In addition to learning how to use their own machines, this course will also introduce the participants to the use of over lockers and embellishment machines as the tutor owns several of these machines and will make them available to the participants. Own machine is desirable but the tutor has some sewing machines and overlockers (and a new needle felting machine) available for people who do not have these to start with so they can at least find out if they like sewing and learning about overlocking etc. Call Raglan Community House on Ph: 825 8142 to register your interest or come in to the House and talk to us. We can also put you in touch with the tutor if you need further information.

TU TANGATA TRUST / STRENTHENING FAMILIES NGARUAWAHIA Many of you will be aware that from February to June this year we had on placement at the Community House a WINTEC Bachelor Social Practice student, Anne Hall. Anne achieved some great results for us and, in particular, did a lot of work on strengthening our networks with other service agencies both local and regional. Anne‟s placement with us finished in June however she is now on placement with Tu Tangata Trust/ Strengthening Families based at Raglan Community House. Anne is available to talk with people who are having financial, health and stress problems within the family to see if they are eligible to access services that can support them. Anne will be on deck until mid November 2011. Phone Anne at Raglan Community House on Ph 8258142 to speak to her or make an appointment.

RAGLAN BUDGET SERVICE If you have been keeping an eye on the media over the past week you may have seen a lot of commentary about Prime Minister John Key‟s statement regarding people who use the food banks and benefit recipients. John Key said “the bulk of New Zealanders on a benefit actually pay for food, rent, and other things. Some make poor choices, and they do not have money left " and “it is also true that anyone on a benefit actually has a lifestyle choice. If one budgets properly, one can pay one's bills.” He also goes on to say “Very few of the 360,000 on welfare use foodbanks. By definition those people are budgeting and getting by." Whether you agree with his comments or not the fact is that budgeting is a lifestyle choice - whether you earn $100k a year or receive a benefit your budget is an important part of that lifestyle and the choices you make. Both Campbell Live on TV3 and Closeup on TV1 have been showing reports about people struggling to make ends meet while living on a benefit. Raglan Community House and the Budget Service work closely with the Raglan Foodbank and see the good work that they do for the community. Let us know what you think about John Key‟s comments and the Campbell Live and Closeup Reports. To see these reports or read the articles go to Raglan Budget Service Blog page http://raglanbudgetservice.blogspot.com/ Or visit the Raglan Community house page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Raglan-Community-House We‟d love to get your feedback. Raglan Community House runs “Money Management Workshops” and “Thriving on a Shoestring” workshops which aim to help you manage your money and help support those lifestyle changes you may need to make. Contact Raglan Community House for information about our workshops. Ph: 07 825 8142 or pop in to the House to make an appointment to see one of our Budget Advisors. Remember too that on Thursdays we run a CV Writing/Assistance service. If you need to create a CV or update your old one, call us to make an appointment with the Advisor.

STRESS MANAGEMENT WORKSHOPS Feel like the world is getting on top of you or that you would like to learn some strategies to help you cope with many conflicting demands on your time, energy and resources. Managing stress is not about how to respond to a particular event, it is how to adjust your life so that you have the balance and robustness to meet any events. The aim of this course is to assist participants to identify the triggers for stress in their lives and learn some tools to intervene so they continue to function well and are not overwhelmed. The tutor is Paula Clements (Dip. Counselling, Cert. Education, Cert. Clinical Supervision. Cert. Psychodrama. Group psychotherapist). There will be three workshops in total and participants will need to commit to attending all three sessions. When: Thursdays 22 September, 29 September and 6 October Time: 10.30am—12.30pm Where: Raglan Community House Cost: FREE (fully funded by Raglan Community House Counselling Service) This is an experiential group, run in a safe environment, where members participate and take part in activities that make learning accessible and inclusive for some who may not have high literacy skills Minimum student numbers are required for this course to proceed so call us today on Ph 825 8142 to register your interest. If you have already told us that you would like to do this series of workshops you do not need to make contact again. We will confirm with you when we have sufficient numbers to proceed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY CHECKS Stendy Electrical will be at the Raglan Community House on Monday 15th August 2011 from 10am onwards to check the safety of any small electrical appliances that you have. Cost is $5 per item. They will also replace any faulty plugs at $5 each. So bring any small appliance e.g. Iron, toaster, kettle, electric blanket that you have concerns about into the House and get them checked.

WEIGHT LOSS SUPPORT GROUP The second Downsize Me! 12 week challenge has ended and the challenge winner will be revealed next Wednesday evening when they will be presented with a voucher for a special treat at Lime Beauty Clinic. We are going to take a break in the Challenges and may start up again next year. However, some of the group are still going to come along to the Community House on a weekly basis to weigh in so that they can keep a check on their weight. If you would like to lose some kilos and want some regular help to “keep you honest”, you are welcome to come along to the Community House any / every Wednesday between 4 and 4.30pm to weigh in. STOP PRESS!!! On 24th August 2011 at 4pm we will have a guest speaker, Diana Croad. Diana will be visiting Raglan from Blenheim. Diana heard about our weight loss challenges and contacted us to see if we would like her to come along as a guest speaker. She lost a whopping 45kg! Come along on the 24th Aug at 4pm to hear her inspirational story and pick up some weight loss tips. Diana‟s „before‟ and „after‟ photos are amazing - we think it‟s also pretty amazing that our group‟s “fame” reached Blenheim!! r_ch@xtra.co.nz www.rch.org.nz

RAGLAN Chronicle 11

Raglan businesses greening up Three businesses in Raglan have taken part in the Sustainabiz-CarbonWise programme this year.

The collaboration between Whaingaroa Environment Centre and Waikato Regional Council (formerly EW), assisted businesses to get a little greener by assessing their energy, waste and transport outputs, and calculating their carbon emissions. From the results, the companies were provided with recommendations on how to improve their environmental performance whilst saving money. Rachael Goddard, who led the project, says that it was encouraging to see businesses already had an awareness of eco efficiencies, eg, Kopua Holiday Park who have been getting benefit from solar panels which significantly reduced their electricity bills, and recycling

bins lowering waste to landfill. The Raglan businesses were keen to implement changes, like setting up worm farms and compost bins, looking at more sustainable purchasing options, and installing energy efficient light bulbs. West Coast Health was amazed to discover almost 50% of their waste by weight was paper towels. Their waste hand towels will now go into a compost bin. Additionally, the Sustainabiz-CarbonWise audit prompted staff to begin separating the organic waste, which now helps fatten the pigs on (staff member) Tracey’s farm. These actions have the potential to save West Coast Health $700 in waste disposal charges annually. Bizworx is now sourcing environmentally friendly products, educating their clients and other businesses about some of the options

they could use to reduce waste to landfill, and reducing vehicle travel by ensuring that meetings are scheduled in such a way as to minimise travel to other areas in the Waikato, and using ‘webinars’ to keep up with professional development instead of travelling to Hamilton or Auckland to attend courses. ‘Consumer Who Cares’ research in New Zealand has highlighted that consumers are taking an increasing interest in how companies behave socially, environmentally and culturally. Rachael says that businesses that are environmentally aware, with environmental policies have the potential to attract more customers. Barnaby Smith, Sustainability Advisor for Waikato Regional Council says it’s important to take a strategic and long term approach to

Keeping healthy Bees The Whaingaroa Bee Club has organised a line up of specialist speakers to address beekeepers at a workshop in August in Raglan.

This is an opportunity for beekeepers and prospective beekeepers to learn, to ask questions, and to meet other beekeepers. Warren Yorston of Plant and Food Research, Ruakura, himself a beekeeper, will describe the varroa mite’s life cycle. Since the mite arrived in New Zealand in 2000, beekeepers have used chemical controls but Warren has suggestions for ‘green’ controls that hobbyists can use instead. Jane Lorimer, a professional Waikato beekeeper and Past President of the National Beekeepers Association, will speak on

the role of the queen in bee health, including requeening methods. She will also give a demonstration of hive inspection techniques using a working unit. Rex Baynes, National Pest Management Strategy manager will join us from Wellington to talk about strategies for managing American Foulbrood disease. For ongoing support for local beekeepers, the Whaingaroa Bee Club meets monthly in Raglan. For more information about the club or the workshop, call Cally Brown on 825 7980

Raglan Roosters update In a hard fought game in punishing weather conditions, the Raglan Roosters finally capitulated 3-4 to a technically gifted Latino team in the Scottish Cup Semi Final. Several lads new to the team made a fine contribution in the absence of half a dozen key first-team regulars due to flu, the lure of Bali in August and freak surfing injuries (get well soon lads!). Special thanks to all the defenders, they dealt well with many skillful attacks. Eric, our man-tank goalkeeper, sprung cat-like to brilliantly palm away an early Latino penalty, awarded after a hotly contested handball on the goal-line from Kit ‘wandering hands’ Stokes. The Latino lads began to dominate with the wind at their backs, scoring two slick goals in 5 minutes, but Roosters hit back with OrganicJon sliding home a penalty after a buccaneering run from CaptainBjorno was crudely ended by a challenge from behind. Halftime 1-2.

Roosters pressed early in the second half and were awarded another penalty, much to the horror of the Latino player who had handled the ball. OrganicJon saw the keeper block his effort but followed up to smash the ball gleefully into the net for 2-2. The Roosters’ tails were up but the opposition turned up the heat, scoring a brilliant (though wind-assisted) third goal and then a fourth through another slice of fortune when the ball clipped a defender’s elbow and spun past Eric at the near post for 4-2. Our own Latino lad, HollywoodJaco, tucked away a half-chance from 8 yards out to put us in with a chance at 3-4, but the Latino Boys closed out the game to ensure the Roosters tasted defeat for the first time in about a year. Chins up Roosters, valiant attempt, lets bite back next week! cock-a-doodle-doo!

the sustainability challenge. “The businesses who respond creatively to the challenges of climate change, peak oil and limited resources are the ones who are likely to flourish into the future. Small to medium sized businesses need to see this as an opportunity to invest in their commercial future”. Recent research by the Waikato Management School has identified a growing ‘sustainability divide’ since the global financial crisis, whereby many NZ businesses who may have been thinking about developing more responsible practices have hunkered back down into ‘survival mode’. A committed group though have forged ahead to become sustainable practice leaders - and are reaping the benefits of the enhanced market opportunities this opens up. Whaingaroa Environment Centre

Celebrated Raglan foodie has island cuisine on plate

Continued from pg3 Before Fiji it was a month in Samoa, close to the tsunami-devastated area, where he was busy redoing systems, training staff and setting up new menus for food and beverage, all of which was funded through the World Bank to help post-tsunami recovery and get the local tourist industry back on its feet. But Colin says his biggest challenge in developing modern island cuisine – whether in the flashest hotels or the more modest backpackers – is “changing a mindset” and updating old-school attitudes. He’s encouraging chefs, hoteliers and restaurateurs – many of them from NZ, Australia, Britain and Germany – to take stock of their tropical island supplies, which are not expensive, and present them in a trendy way. Creating menus that are ninety percent islandstyle, 10 percent western – allowing for that token steak meal – is the ideal. We as tourists don’t want what we can get at home when holidaying in paradise, he insists. Island vegetarian lasagne, he says, can be made by layering local vegies and simple sauces, with plantains or green bananas peeled and run through a slicer as the pasta base. Local pumpkin, taro and kumara can be made into mash. Local beef, which is tough, can be minced and made into roti with fresh pineapple chutney. It’s got to be interesting, says Colin, and inventive – tropical fruits made into smoothies, cocktails, custards and puddings; taro, yams, sweet potato and cassava or tapioca root into fritters or cakes. Watercress and swamp cabbage and a whole lot more, too, can be grown and used in unique islandstyle stirfrys. And there’s so much fish in the islands, he enthuses – including lobsters and river prawns – that can be cooked Thai, Japanese, Chinese style, or simply steamed with tamarind sauce for the exotic touch. There’s no need, he adds, for islands to rely on expensive canned or frozen food like chicken and turn it into a big stew. “It’s shit!” Despite enjoying the challenge of developing island cuisine, Colin – now in his late 60s – admits he’d rather be home in Whale Bay with wife Rhonda than overseas. Fifteen years at Vinnies stood him in good stead, he reckons, and without even advertising he has enough on his plate just catering locally. “I’m trying to get locals enjoying their own place,” he says, although a lot of work comes his way too from out-of-towners celebrating in Raglan. “It’s real nice to be asked to cater for weddings,” says Colin. “It’s one of the happiest things you can do … “And I enjoy bringing new international dishes here.” Edith Symes

OPINION: A Raglan Rumination by Albert Einsteinlager Mr Desmond Bellamy is a member of “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.� He is based in that agricultural stronghold known as Hong Kong. He argues vehemently that meat should be taxed because of the greenhouse gases produced whilst rearing them. These enteric fermentations (burp and fart gases) go straight up in to the atmosphere and proceed to stuff up the whole delicate balance of things. No argument from me there. The boffin community has a myriad of calculations to back up Dessie boy’s claim. These calculations have not taken two factors into account. In all further predictions they must be included. Firstly, whilst travelling through third world countries I mainly ate vegetarian. Weeks of mung bean and lentils did wonders for my

general health but it did produce one alarming side effect. Namely my enteric fermentations increased tenfold. In layman’s terms I was farting like a trooper. Now I would like to know if this phenomena has been recognised by the science boys and girls when calculating global effects of switching to a veggie diet. Secondly we all know how bad meat is for us. Those juicy Big Macs are leading to our early demise through clogged arteries and generally poor heart health. So we pop off a little earlier. Hence we no longer drive our cars, put on the electric heater to keep our old bones warm or consume those lethal barbequed steaks. This must be also entered into the equation. Such complex issues. Such far reaching decisions we must make. I might just make myself a bacon butty to munch on while I ponder it all.
