Skipper dancing to a new beat
On Friday 2nd September at 6pm, Matapihi Art Gallery will host the opening night of a new exhibition titled ‘To the Beat of a New Drum’ by artist and Wahinemoe skipper, Tim Turner.
Most recognisable for his bright, often decorated, fire engine, Tim has been gaining inspiration from his recently established home in Raglan to create new pieces of art for show. The exhibition, sponsored by Raglan Boat Charters, will run for a month and showcases a collection of Tim’s new works, including a range of jewellery, sculptures and digital prints.

Moving to Raglan from Auckland just over a year ago, Tim explains, “the concept behind the title is: ‘to the beat of a new drum’, which reflects a new place, new inspiration Marlin Cafe & Grill.

Dr Tom was in line for rare fellowship His kaumatua status with the college along with his “greatest supportâ€? for Maori doctors saw him just two weeks away from assessment for his fellowship, college representative Dr Tane Taylor – chairman of the Maori faculty – told the outdoor funeral in the town Dr Tom had made his home for more than four decades. Dr Taylor spoke of the “huge sense of lossâ€? the college now shared with Dr Tom’s family and the community he’d served tirelessly from his home-based surgery in Wallis Street for 45 years. “We aspire to be good GPs ‌ and engage with the community,â€? he told mourners at Thursday’s ceremony. And Tom was the community, he said. While Dr Tom had been chuffed in recent weeks at the prospect of being made a fellow, he was no stranger to awards and accolades. Just last year he became the first recipient of the Maori Doctor Leadership Award – Manu Ao Maori – now to be presented annually. And in 2005 Dr Tom was also honoured by his colleagues with the Maarire Goodall Award which recognises the special contributions made towards improving the health and welfare of Maori and Pacific Island peoples. “This award is known to be the highest accolade that Maori medical practitioners can pay to a member of the health workforce,â€? Associate Health Minister Tariana Turia said last week in a Government press release paying tribute to Dr Tom. He was also awarded the Queen’s Service Medal in 1981 for services to health. Dr Tom was “a man of many partsâ€?, his sons Sean, Brett and Rhys told those gathered at the marae for a service led by Reverends Hohepa Pene and Rhonda Chung. He was a family man with wife Sybil at his side helping

run the practice, a sportsman and he had a penchant for music.“Dad loved to entertain.� Many a night, they recalled, he’d invite friends home from Raglan Club where he was recently made a patron, or from the local golf club where he was the champion a number of times, and he’d be “twinkling on the piano� into the wee hours. He was also a sidedrummer years ago for the Dr Tom local pipe band, both here and back in his hometown of Manaia, South Taranaki. Named after his uncle who was NZ’s first All Black captain in 1893, Dr Tom excelled too at sport and played rugby briefly for Taranaki, on the wing, before getting concussed and switching to hockey in which he represented Otago, NZ Universities and New Zealand. And he was “a natural� at golf, reckoned youngest son Rhys who told of his father’s three holes in one – at different times in different places – but all of the games interrupted by callouts, which was the lot of the town’s sole doctor for 17 years, before other GPs came on the scene to lighten the load. His family had managed to have just three two-week holidays in ’71, ’75 and 1980 for that very reason. Locums were difficult to get and Dr Tom felt committed to caring for a whole community. Right up until the day he died, Dr Tom told everybody from his hospital bed he’d be back to work the next week. Despite his 75 years he wasn’t ready to give up work, Sean told the gathering. “It wasn’t meant to happen like this (so suddenly).� Dr Tom had been involved in a whole range of community activities during his four decades and more in Raglan, from the fire service to helping set up the local St John
Ambulance and Raglan Air Sea Rescue. He was honorary surgeon to a host of sporting and other organisations and held high office in St John, the local kindergarten and Plunket, Raglan Club, Manu Bay Fishing Club and the bowling club. While Cook Island-born – the second youngest of 11 – he boasted English, Scottish and Maori blood (Nga Tahu, TeAtiawa and Ngati Porou). And the Raglan Maori community embraced him as a kaumatua or elder. Ellison His coffin – adorned with a large bouquet of orchids atop a Maori cloak – was carried by cousins from the marae to a waiting fire engine, while a moving haka was performed by Raglan Area School senior students led by teacher Quenten Browne. A guard of honour was formed and the fire engine took Dr Tom back to Raglan Club “for one last drink� before a hearse led the cortege to Newstead Crematorium in Hamilton. Edith Symes

Local Lions aim to plant a tree for every member of the community Raglan Lions Club is set on putting in 3000 trees – that’s one for every resident of the district – in a bid to become the best tree-planters this side of the black stump.
And club president Bob Macleod, who takes his job very seriously, has already started. When he heard at a recent zone meeting that international Lions president Wing Kun Tam from Hong Kong is an environmentalist wanting to plant a million trees around the world within the next year, Bob “took up the challenge” and began.
He intends to plant “as many trees as I can get the money for” – and that could be up to $10,000-worth courtesy of Waikato District Council, if Lions can access the tree planting fund he’s heard about while wearing his other hat as Raglan Community Board member. For $10,000, Bob reckons, he could buy a lot of young trees off Whaingaroa Harbour Care, which wants to sell them to encourage good sustainable practices in the community. The first 32 Raglan trees were planted in Upper Waimui Reserve just a fortnight ago and 28 more large Puriris went in last
weekend at Okete Reserve, the Lions ably assisted by hardy Harbour Care workers Moto and Roy. It’s a community project in which Bob wants everybody on board. Plant a tree in Raglan, he says, wearing a Lions T-shirt borrowed from the Op Shop downtown – or with some other form of identification that shows when and where the tree was planted – then simply email a pic of the job and you’ll be rewarded with $1 from Lions and a certificate of appreciation. Email bobmacleod@paradise.net.nz.

Raglan’s Surfshot Training in a pool balanced upright with flippers on and with arms held high above her head is all part of keeping fit for the job for Raglan Surfshot photographer Jane Alice. Add to this the dynamic of being in the surf with the swell and surfers to watch out for while keeping a 5 kg camera up ready for ‘that shot’ and you start to sense how talented this young photographer really is.

Jane shifted to Raglan permanently only a year ago and has spent the bulk of her time taking shots of the surfing out at Manu Bay or on dry-land getting her specialised photography business all sorted. A graduate of Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design in Auckland, Jane has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. From a young age she used to assist her father, a wedding photographer, with his work and it was this experience that sparked her love for the lens. Given her background in competitive swimming since the age of seven and then later as an ocean swimmer, it is of little surprise Jane ended up combining water and photography into her unique business. “I bought the water-housing for my camera in 2008. It has taken a few years for me to be capable of doing what I do”, says Jane. Now, with the help of a Work and Income Enterprise Grant, her business has been given a kick-start as the surfing season approaches. “I had to develop a business plan and financial forecasting to apply. Then I didn’t hear anything for so long I thought I had missed out. It was great when the call came through”, she says. Her surfshot website is up and running and Jane has recently purchased a top quality printer. She markets her business by handing out wristbands to surfers on the water. “When you think that my job is out there in the waves and action, a wristband is the perfect way to advertise what I do. A business card was never going to work”. While Jane loves what she does she admits to getting some ‘strange looks’ from people on the beach who see her sort-of swimming with arms out of the water. She also tries to get as close as possible to the surfers.

Jane Alice ready - to catch your action shot.
“I have to hold my camera up above my head with one hand and have the other on the button. I have a wide-angle lens and have to wait for the last second to get the best shot.” says Jane. And while all this is happening Jane also has to keep an eye on the surfers around her. “They are pretty good and aware of where I am, but every now and then one can drop down almost on top of me from behind a wave”, says Jane. Perfecting taking great surfing shots has taken years. As well as keeping up above the water Jane also plunges deep down under waves, an experience she says, that can leave her feeling a little dizzy. In what must be a gross understatement Jane says her work is ‘tiring’. Back on dry-land surfers wanting prints contact Jane using the information on the wristbands. She is also happy to arrange a specific surf shoot at a time convenient. As the summer season approaches Jane plans to spend plenty of time bobbing in amongst the waves capturing the perfect shot on the perfect wave. Jane can be contacted on Ph: 027 339 1129. Email: jane@surfshot.net. She is currently exhibiting at Blacksand Café. Sue Russell
School’s switchboard fire hastens power upgrade Teachers and students at Raglan Area School had an unscheduled day off last Friday after a small fire the day before – in the switchboard room – cut the main power supply, making it too cold to conduct classes without heating.
Smoke damage was confined to switchboard panels where connectors melted, says school principal Malcolm Cox. But it’s a story with a “silver lining”, he adds, as funding was already set aside for the school’s fibreoptic upgrade which will now be duly hastened by a couple of months. The Education Ministry gave the go-ahead to reinstate and futureproof the system in an emergency procedure, with approval from the board of trustees, but until the work can be done in a few weeks’ time the school’s emergency system is running at about two-thirds of its capacity, says Malcolm.
Luxury yacht readied for launching If you ever wondered anything about that huge yacht that’s been taking shape for three years in the boatbuilding factory down at Raglan wharf, it’s all out in the open now. The 50-foot high-performance cruising yacht – which escaped major damage in the wharf fire of 16 months ago – is now sitting out on the wharf with its massive, 22-metre carbon mast all rigged up. And as he puts the finishing touches to his new luxury yacht, ‘Fuse’, owner Rob Galloway is rapidly closing in on his longheld dream of sailing north and, by next year, possibly offering charter cruises in the islands. The hydraulics are now being fitted for its unique lifting-canting keel – one of the first in the country – and the galley also is getting made and fitted, says Rob.
‘Fuse’ is carefully removed from the boatbuilding factor y
It’s a three double-berth yacht, easily capable of speeds of 15 to 20 knots and needs only a crew of two although, at a pinch, Rob reckons he could sail it single-handedly. The vessel’s made, he says, of high-density foam and glass.
Raglan on ‘Global Radar’ Raglan at its sustainable best gets a plug on national television on Sunday week when a recent day trip to our town by Te Radar screens, showing how Whaingaroa Harbour Care and Xtreme Waste deal with pollution. “It was a beautiful day, the (Opotoru) river was sparkling and the fish were jumping,” says Harbour Care’s Fred Lichtwark who hosted Radar and his film crew for the day back in January. After first landing some sizeable snapper from the harbour in local skipper Ian Hardy’s boat, the daytrippers headed up the Opotoru River and collected oysters, followed by a barbeque lunch on local landowner Dave Peacocke’s environmentally-friendly farmland. Radar wanted to know about pollution in Raglan, says Fred, from its “dismal”
state many years ago to the improved water quality of today. “We did some fishing in the harbour to prove we could catch fish.” Only trouble, adds Fred, was that Radar – in full-swing sustainability mode – tossed his catch back in the sea. So they had to go up-harbour to get oysters to put on the “barbie”, along with some whitebait from an earlier catch. And Dave – who farms sustainably from Raglan to Aotea Harbour – talked to Radar about the positive impacts of looking after the environment, while still increasing stock numbers and farming on a large scale. “We’re so lucky in Raglan,” Fred points out. “We’ve got the majority of people living in our catchment on board (with sustainability).” Radar also visited Harbour Care’s nursery in Wainui Road for a spot of
Rob describes the Bakewell-White designer yacht as “bigger, faster, better” than his first 45-footer which was built by local boat-builder Kevin Dreaver and launched here in 1999. Rob eventually sold it in 2008 to an Auckland family and soon after started adding new ideas to the “stock design” of that first yacht. The plan, he says, is for a champagne launch in a month or two before he and partner Marie de Jong set sail for Auckland, then continue their trip around the top to the Gulf Harbour at Whangaparoa. From there, the world’s their oyster though Rob reckons he’s already got a few bookings – to help pay for some of the big expenses like insurance – for charter cruises in the islands come May or June next year. The enterprising Raglan couple have made their home for several years now on the first floor of the tallest of the wharf’s two historic silos, with their small ground-level wharfpad being holiday let beneath them. The smaller of the silos houses two other luxury apartments, also built and co-owned by family as holiday lets. Edith Symes

Raglan Surf Academy update
The Raglan Surfing Academy partnered up with Surfing New Zealand to put sixteen students through the ISA Judging Course last week.The course was held in preparation for the New Zealand Schools Surfing Competition being held at Manu Bay this week.
The event caters for over 150 students from around New Zealand competing in school teams. The event is managed from start to finish by the students attending the Raglan Surfing Academy and they gain NCEA credits for their hard work. The sixteen surfers that attended the course learnt international best practice for judging and the skills required to judge at a national level. Completion of the course also gains students further credits towards NCEA. The students will use their judging skills at the event this week and will also work toward getting their hours completed to become qualified judges. They will then have the ability to work at national events around the country. The New Zealand Schools Surfing Competition has been postponed by one day and will now commence on Wednesday (24th August) due to the small swell forecast for the beginning of the week at Raglan. Expect a rise in swell throughout Wednesday with moderate southwest winds which will provide good conditions for the event. Keep an eye out for updates on the event this week. If you are interested in attending the judging course then get in touch with Lee Ryan at Surfing New Zealand – Raglan Academy Judging Course 19th August 2011 lee.ryan@surfingnz.co.nz

Literally thousands of people have spent time here on the hill, and a few good folk, after being first introduced to Raglan through Solscape, haven’t left and now call Raglan home. Lots of people, local and visitors alike, have contributed to our ongoing projects, and the people of Raglan have been incredibly supportive and accepting of Solscape’s presence in the community, all of which we are eternally grateful for. We are still traveling through a perpetual learning curve, which keeps it interesting and makes it a whole lot of fun as we steadily stride and sometimes stumble onward. What’s exciting us at the moment is that we are beginning the transition toward our long held vision

29 Community Tour of Solscape (Solscape, free) Call for time
of growing into the name Solscape Eco Retreat and Progressive Learning Centre. This means that we will continue our core business of providing an interesting array of accommodations to visitors, but we will also begin to focus on providing education in the arts of sustainable living and holistic well-being. We reckon that Solscape’s beautiful and unique natural setting, coupled with the intention behind the many working models on site, provides fertile ground for transformational learning. This year in conjunction with Whaingaroa Environment Centre we are stoked to be hosting a number of workshops during Sustainable September, and are also working on education programmes that will run later in the year and into 2012 and beyond. Otago Polytechnic is keen to utilize Solscape to run their innovative courses in Practical Sustainability and they will be here on the 23rd of September to launch and outline course offering for 2012. All welcome at that event. If you are interested in what goes on at Solscape you’re most welcome to come up for a nosey anytime, or join the guided Eco Tour of the property on Thursday the 29th September.
Thank you to our EnviroMatters sponsors:

Chives
Vege of the Month: If allowed to go to seed, chives will feed the bees with nectar then scatter themselves around your garden. They are excellent companions for most veges, especially carrots, tomatoes and fruit trees. Avoid peas and beans. 2 varieties at seed bank.
Parsnip
Seed of the Month: Closely related to parsley, these easy to grow (though slow to germinate) root vegetables grow very slowly at first, but vigorously once established, producing lush though inedible green tops which can irritate the skin if handled a lot. Seed can be started in trays or direct sown in the garden, though the soil must be well loosened to get a nice long root at harvest. Parsnips need a few frosts to taste good (the starches turn to sugars) and keep very well in the ground. They also break up the subsoil with their impressively long taproot, bringing nutrients up to the topsoil - a valuable job indeed! Available at seed bank.

Raglan Junior Rugby We are coming to the end of our Junior Rugby season and whilst there are those of us that are very excited to be regaining our Saturday mornings, there are also those of us that would like to just keep on playing (like little energiser batteries really)!
Our Bowers Cup representatives (pictured below) have taken part in a tournament held over the last 3 weekends and a highlight for them would have to be playing the curtain raiser for our Mooloo men at Waikato Stadium on 7 August and finishing second overall in the tournament, losing only one game and ever so closely too (5 - 7 was the score)! Well done boys. The 12th grade have had a stunning year and head into Stan Heather Park on Saturday in a bid to take out the championship. This game kicks off at 11.00am and I’m sure the boys would love to see plenty of Raglan faces on the sideline to help them bring home the silverware. All other teams will play their last games at home, first games kicking off at 9.00am. The BBQ will be fired up one last time for the season, so what better way could there possibly be to spend Saturday morning........... Raglan Junior Rugby Bowers Cup representatives Saturday’s a RUGBY DAY!

Dedicated & Determined
On Saturday, the Raglan 6th grade rugby team played Eastern Suburbs Gold at Flagstaff. Suburbs fronted with 9 players and Raglan with 5, so a 5 aside game was decided on; hence Suburbs were able to sub their players for a much deserved rest when needed. However our 5 inspirational boys played their hearts out for 40 minutes and never gave up. A whopping 19 tries were scored by each team. Unable to pick only 1 player of the day, all 5 boys were awarded with it. Thank you to the Raglan Bakery, who was happy to honor the vouchers. And to 5 dedicated and determined boys, Lucca Page, George Loten, Oliver Wallace, James Newcombe and Kase Robbs, congratulations, you made us all extremely proud, including your coaches, John and Hayden who were left gasping for breath.

Winter bowls activity TOURNAMENT: Our last Winter Bowls tournament was held on Saturday 20th August in splendid weather conditions...just glorious really...no better way to spend the day! Full rinks of sixteen teams from Claudlands, Hillcrest, Frankton Junction, Leamington, Huntly West, Hamilton Cosmopolitan Club, Pirongia, Taumarunui, and six local teams, enjoyed each other’s company as we competed for some of Raglan Dental Clinic’s sponsored prizes. We thank our local Dentist for supporting our Club in such a manner. A lovely ‘fish n chips’ lunch supplied by both ‘Jo’s Takeaways’ and ‘Nannies’ fish shop, was consumed and enjoyed by all. Man.. there were some cracker shots played throughout the day to achieve a win, with the winners being Ray Findlay’s team from Hillcrest (4 wins and 71points). Margaret Jamieson’s team from Frankton Junction was second (4 wins and 56 points). Ross Turner, Eileen Stephens and Les Schlager came in third with 4 wins and 46 points. Denny Robertson, Jim Boggiss and Beti Broome followed in 4th place with 4 wins also, but not enough points. Congratulations to you all.
COACHING DAY: Sunday 21st August also dawned a brilliant day Thanks to Terry Green for organising a ‘pre-season’ coaching day for us on this day. Stu Settle (Hinuera Club)
Trevor Harris and Garry Braithwaite (both from Hillcrest), along with Neil Rendle (Frankton Railway) and John Taylor from our club, took us under their wing and guided us through the different elements of our delivery and performance. Twenty four players, some from Huntly West and Ngaruawahia, attended this wonderful opportunity to improve our skills. First up we watched a video on ‘the NZ Way’of doing a delivery, then we had a wee discussion time, followed by some action on the green. We all gained very individual help at this time, and took turns to get ‘videod’ ourselves! This tool was invaluable in being able to ‘see’ our own faults, so then we could ‘correct’ our faults. All this of course is for our benefit and I know that everyone had an enjoyable session, so thanks Terry. Ruth Rawlinson, Margaret Mead and Rangi Sundvick did morning tea and lunches for the coaches, which was greatly appreciated. Thanks to you too. Great excitement is in the air for our 90th Jubilee to be held this Saturday 27th August. Opening day for our 2011-2012 summer season is on Saturday 17th September. Roll-ups are well attended on Wednesdays at 1pm. Happy bowling, Eileen.
OPINION: Rugby World Cup blasphemy by Ian McKissack It will come as a shock to rugby lovers that not everyone is over the moon about the Rugby World Cup. The desire to take a long overseas holiday during the jamboree is frequently expressed. A UMR survey early in August found only 37% were keen on the approaching Rugby carnival, while 35% were not looking forward to it. The neutral 25% will probably get involved eventually as they would in any sport that a New Zealand team looked likely to win. So they could be more involved in winning than rugby. A South African commentator has not helped by suggesting that the games will be decided by kicking skills and defense. I thought that was called soccer. The carefully orchestrated build up has supported the theory that rugby is the national religion. It has focused our attention, whether we like it or not, on the forthcoming season
of devotion. The idea of being celibate for the All Blacks underlined the need for religious fervour. It was strangely like the Christian idea of Lent as an abstaining preparation for Easter. Another problem is that we can more or less predict who the last five teams in the finals will be, so the major earlier interest will be the scores, some of them no doubt like cricket scores. A few unbelievers might be converted if Georgia is the final winner, though living through the period of mourning that that would fall upon the land could be very unpleasant. Now that we know that there are actually two ‘real’ Webb Ellis trophies perhaps we could have Georgia and Samoa triumphing. No doubt there are many rugby devotees on the street in Raglan. It may not be safe for me to go out for a while. If anyone has a spare burqa, do let me know.
Letter Dear Editor Roaming Dog: Chases / Kills Cats As a local resident I appeal to the owner of a black dog that is terrifying cats, some of which have disappeared, in the Manukau Road/Primrose/ Seabreeze Place area to please not let the dog out unleashed for its run at night. We all know the heartbreak for kids and owners who lose their beloved pets. Arohanui Kathy Gilbert, Raglan
Raglan bound: Electric Wire Hustle
Last month Wellington’s Electric Wire Hustle wrapped up their European tour with their final show at the UK’s Big Chill festival joining a lineup of heavyweight international talents including headline act Kanye West. EWH’s extensive European summer tour spanned 2 months, 20 shows and 10 countries. During this time they performed at some of Europe’s (& the world’s) largest festivals including Glastonbury(UK,) Barcelona’s Sonar Festival, Dour Festival in Belgium and many more. “It was an amazing tour in Europe. The band played better than ever and the audience responses were incredible. As sad as we were to leave, we’re looking forward to performing in New Zealand again and it will be great to bring our energy and experiences from this trip home.” says EWH drummer, Myele Manzanza. The live band will perform 6 shows in New Zealand in September including The Raglan Yot Club on Sunday the 4th of September This is the first time EWH have played in Raglan
and they are looking forward to playing in a more intimate setting. “We’ve worked really hard in Europe. After the NZ shows we’re looking forward to hitting Australia again in October, spending some downtime with whanau after being on the road for so long and of course working on the next album!” adds band member Taay Ninh.
