The auction of selected outfits after the show with Julie Hanna from Raglan Real Estate working her magic, raised even more funds. Dave Hanna, to his wife’s surprise, entered the bidding and secured a stylish vintage winter coat for the auctioner. The success of the event was due to Raglan businesses getting involved and donating goodies for spot prizes. Many individuals gave up their time and offered expertise to make the night happen.

Karioi Classic win all in a day’s training Riding a mountainbike this time around the 21-year-old retained his King of Karioi title as first male home out of a field of around 200 riders. He completed the gruelling 44km circuit four minutes faster than last year, and he did it all on top of riding from home over the divvy and on out to Raglan as a warmup. “It’s actually more of a training ride for me,” said Sheldon, who was also planning to bike back into Hamilton as part of preparations for a seven-day road race coming up in the South Island in November. Cycling’s in the Gorter family blood: Sheldon’s dad was in Sunday’s race too, while he has a brother currently riding professionally for the Subway team in the States. Second rider home – having dropped half a minute when he lost his chain – was friend and first-time competitor Jonty Taylor, 36, from Ohaupo. Despite the mishap he crossed the finish line at the airport just 2 minutes behind Sheldon. “Curiously enough he (Sheldon) borrowed my bike last year and won,” explained Jonty. “He’s [just] a machine.” Third home – in 1 hour 35 minutes – was Hamiltonian Oliver Shaw, a young sport and leisure student who was delighted to better his top 10 placing from last year. An “awesome” event, he reckoned as he recovered at the finish, and “well run too”. But it was the first ever ride round the mountain for the event’s winning female. Albany 21-year-old Raewyn Morrison took out the Queen of Karioi title, making it back to Raglan near the head of the field in an impressive 1 hour 41 minutes. It was definitely “hard yakker”, she said, but worth the effort for the weather, the stunning views and for not knowing exactly what was coming next. Six minutes behind Raewyn was Auckland’s Louise Mark, 34, full of praise for the “awesome course” and scenic splendour en route – and “hell yes”, she reckoned she’d do it all again next year. About 30 Raglan entrants were among riders from all over the North Island who competed in this year’s event, and it was local GP Mike Loten who claimed bragging rights. He came home in 1 hour 45 minutes, slashing nine minutes from his 2010 result in which he was second local rider to finish. Second local home this time round was David Wright, whose 1 hour 51 minutes slashed a full five minutes from his last year’s time.

Meanwhile Dr Mike’s wife Joan had a great debut ride, having won a bike in an earlier Chronicle competition which gave her little option but to enter the race. Joan did a “sensational” time for a first ride of 2hrs 26 minutes, said co-organiser Lisa Thomson, who was happy both to see the event attract new converts and lots of returning riders smashing their times. Several local couples tackled the course, she said, as did three local under-16s – Eddie Young (2:15), Amy Munns (2:49) and Braden Shilton (2:53) who, at just 13 years of age, was the youngest competitor. Chris Meek was the only Raglan competitor this year in a field of 10 who contested the allmale single speed category, and he was over-themoon to “smash my time by 10 minutes” for a 2hr 38min finish on his typically unsophisticated bike. Ash Hough, 21, from Albany – partner of Winner of the Karioi Classic - Sheldon Gorter new Queen of Karioi Raewyn Morrison – won the single speed race in 1:36, and with it a boutique Lisa reckons “everyone’s positive” about the weekend for two in an Ohakune chalet courtesy event which, she admits, is not a “big player” in of holiday let company Bachcare. the world of multisport but which celebrates our King and Queen titleholders were awarded physical environment, its people and community spirit. locally-made trophies and $100 cash each.

Artist showcased on popular wedding site For local Yvette Harry-Wright of Tidal Bottega gallery (pronouced Bow-tay-ga) there is cause for celebration when her floral designs ended up on the ultimate international wedding blog, ‘StyleMePretty’. Style Me Pretty is a style savvy wedding resource devoted to the modern bride. They cover everything from gorgeous weddings and feature seasoned pros in the invitation, floral, fashion and photography industries. Yvette was elated when she saw her work featured on the US based website but also acknowledges the part that Raglan has to play as the backdrop to this story. According to Yvette, Raglan has not only become a destination to surf but one of the “hot” places to get married. As a floral designer and artist, Yvette has had many queries from potential out of town brides to design their wedding flowers. “ We locals all know and love the sea. Our town resonates charm and originality. It appears more and more people know that too and want their special day here. Maybe it’s because we are good at sharing it!”
The editor of SMP blog states “The love I am feeling for this (Raglan) wedding is somewhat embarrassing. It all has me a bit beside myself – with its relaxed yet sophisticated vibe, gorgeous New Zealand setting - it’s surfer sophistication at its best”. Although Yvette travels to wedding sets in outer regions, her ambition is to attract more people to Raglan to ‘tie the knot’. Around 80% of Tidal Bottega’s weddings are brides coming from out of town and Yvette recognises there is a demand for more venue options and wedding services. Next wedding: The Black House on the Point, Lake Okareke. A venue Yvette suggests would be fitting in Raglan? Don’t forget: for fresh flowers for any occasion shop online or stop in and visit Tidal Bottega gallery, Tue-Sat 37 Main Road, Raglan.

Harbour Care windfall good news for waterfall Financially foundering Whaingaroa Harbour Care is both back afloat and heading for a falls. The award-winning environmental group – its funding squeezed by Waikato District Council in recent times – has had something of a lottery windfall and is turning its good fortune to improving water quality in the Bridal Veil Falls catchment area. The $300,000 which has come its way from the NZ Lottery Grants Board recently means Harbour Care can continue planting out eight kilometres of DOC farmland along the Pakoka River, which runs over the falls and into Aotea Harbour. An estimated 150,000 plants – a mix of flaxes, cabbage trees, toe-toe and grasses – should help return DOC’s most popular Waikato tourist attraction to a more pristine state. At present the 40,000-odd visitors to the falls each year are met with a muddied waterfall and signs warning against swimming because of unsafe bacteria (ecoli) in the pool below. Harbour Care’s Fred Lichtwark says such large-scale planting is contributing significantly to water quality in the area, both protecting the Aotea Harbour and upholding the country’s clean, green image. And he says neighbouring farmers are improving their own environments by fencing off additional wetlands, streams and swamps themselves – and by supplying drinking troughs so stock don’t dirty the local streams with effluent.
There’s significant water improvement already, Fred believes, thanks to the fencing off of just 3.4km of “seriously polluted” streams by local farmers keen to make the most of their land.
Three years down the track and other grants will have kicked in to ensure the Harbour Care project is complete, Fred says. “We’ve got another application into the World Wildlife Fund, and DOC is contributing $10,000 as is the (Waikato) Regional Council.” The funding has come at a time when Harbour Care was going broke, he says, and will “keep us employed for at least two years. “It’s great the lottery board has put its confidence in us to do this (project),” he adds. Kaniwhaniwha reserve near Te Pahu was another Harbour Care planting project undertaken some years ago through a lottery grant, while a project at Lake Serpentine near Hamilton came about through combined Waipa District Council, NZ Landcare Trust and DOC funds. Fred says an added spinoff of the current project is the impression it will leave on locals and tourists who use the walkway and cycle track soon to be opened to the wind farm on the Wharauroa Plateau, which is the start of the Bridal Veil Falls catchment. Streams in the area too, now with improved water quality, have no eels but rainbow trout which opens the way for more recreational pursuits, he says.

How to get more sales Many businesses spend a small fortune on advertising. Their aim? Get new customers. They want to get more customers because they believe that more customers will give them more sales. But if you apply the 80/20 rule to your business, you’ll find this is not necessarily true. What’s the 80/20 rule? The rule is that 20% of your customers will give you 80% of your sales. So it follows that the key to more sales is that 20%. Why? Because they’re already loyal customers - maybe even raving fans. They are the people who come back again and again - and bring their friends. This 20% have power and if you can harness that power you’re well on your way to getting more sales, without spending loads of money on advertising. How do you do this? Firstly make sure you know who they are. They are already your key customers and probably feel a special connection with you or the business as a whole. They’ve probably done a lot of business with you over the years and often refer others to you. Here are some suggestions for showing these special customers just how much they’re appreciated: 1.
Send a simple hand written card or letter, expressing your appreciation. Be specific about why you appreciate them. This is much more relevant than a phone call because once you’ve hung up, they’ll have forgotten all about you. But having a handwritten letter or card shows that you took some time and made an effort on their behalf. Hand write the envelope as well, and put a stamp on it. Then your customer will have something sitting on his/her desk that continues to show them they’re appreciated. But don’t send it at Christmas. At Christmas time your card is just one of dozens. It won’t stand out. Try sending it at a change in season, when the clocks go forward/back, Valentines day etc.

Raglan Club commits to development The commitment to start work in earnest on the building of shop spaces follows a lengthy process involving a number of possible scenarios which were presented earlier in the year to club members at a special general meeting. Former club president and building subcommittee member Barry Dalbeth said it was time to move forward to secure the future of the club. “We have to spread our income. We can do nothing and we will go under. We need professional thinkers and straight heads”, said Mr Dalbeth. His views were echoed by Raglan Club’s accountant Peter Vonlanthen who explained the current financial position of the club. “Our two sources of income – bar takings and the pokies – are both dropping. This is a trend being experienced by many clubs, given the economic conditions being faced locally and globally”. Now the decision has been made, the building sub-committee will look at a variety of ways to fund the project, estimated to cost $1 million. Building of the shops, however, will not begin until tenants have been secured. “We have land-use consent in place for two years so this is the time to really commit and get things underway”, said Mr Dalbeth. In other business, Andy Thompson was elected as President and Felix Davy was made a life member. Outgoing president, Dianne Spicer, said Mr Davy deserved to be awarded life membership as “an impeccable gentlemen who epitomises the true club spirit.

Ask for their opinion on what you’re doing well - and what they think you could improve. Then listen. Don’t get defensive if you don’t like what you hear. Remember these are your best customers and they come to you despite any shortcomings you might have. No-ones perfect and there’s always room for improvement. The customers you talk to will often feel like they are a part of your business already. By inviting them to contribute to the development of your business and listening to what they have to say, you involve them even more in improving your business and their experience of dealing with you. If you’re unable to make the improvement they’re suggesting, let them know why not. They’re sure to understand or might have suggestions for a way around the issue.
3.
Call them back promptly. Even if it’s just to acknowledge you’ve received their call and you’ll get back to them in depth at a later time.
Remember it’s really a privilege to serve customers who want to do business with you, especially when they have so many other options available. Without your customers you have no business. In case you’re still not convinced of reasons to appreciate your customers; do you know what other organisations call your best customers? Prospects.

Pirates on course for Raglan to steer youth van fundraiser Ahoy me hearties, the Pirates are comin’ to town this weekend wielding cutlasses and wearing eye patches beneath their buccaneers’ hats. It’s a convoy of crazy wacky vehicles, and the mission is to take from the good and give to the needy – a bit like high-seas Robin Hoods. The weekend convoy will wend its way down from Auckland on Saturday to Waiau Pa, Waiuku, Pukekohe and Huntly before hitting the Waingaro Pub for a fun stop, then on into Raglan by mid afternoon. A water challenge at the Rugby Club carpark and a show n’ shine at Raglan Fire Station will be followed there by a barbeque hosted by Raglan sports and youth groups, all of whom
will ultimately benefit from funds raised along the way. Gold coins for needy kids is the aim, says Raglan Lions Club president Bob Macleod who also wears another hat as head of the Raglan Operational Support Unit – both of which are working together to raise funds for a youth van to take local youngsters over the hill to junior netball, soccer, rugby and the like. It’s a bit like the Variety Bash that hits Raglan from time to time, says Bob. But the Pirates have a passion for police and fire vehicles and will be out in them in full force come Saturday, and again on Sunday morning before heading back to the big smoke via Port Waikato. Fancy dress, water fights, treasure hunts and family fun should make it a
winter weekend of joviality and good community spirit, he adds. Although the weekend event will kick-start the new project, Bob hopes getting a youth van won’t be too far away. He says additional funds can be sought through the Lloyd Morgan Charitable Trust and through the Lions’ Zone Project which recently helped fund Raglan Surf Life Saving Club’s new lookout tower. He urges the Raglan community to “take up the challenge” and get involved with the various activities, which include fancy dress for the Saturday night post-BBQ function at the fire station. Pirate Birthday Mask Party is the theme and the Pirates – with the help of a DJ – plan to “set the night on fire”. Edith Symes
Pirates’ Itinerary Saturday 6 2.15pm – Waingaro Pub (fun stop) 3.00pm – Around the town of Raglan 3.30pm – Rugby club carpark (water challenge) 4.30pm – Raglan fire Station show n’ shine 7.00pm – BBQ hosted by Raglan sports and youth groups (prizes for best dressed/masked pirate kids and Big Kids) Sunday 7 Treasure Hunt, Kopua Domain, before the Pirates leave Raglan at 10am
Weekly reduce Trust community your waste tips funding round opens Xtreme Waste has been having a bit of look to see what is getting put in the blue rubbish bags each week, so they can work out how to reduce the rubbish pile a bit more.
Looks like most of us are doing a pretty good job of recycling, but organic waste, that’s things like food waste, soggy soiled paper, bits of garden waste are still finding their way into rubbish bags. It’s a big misconception to think that it’s Ok for food and other organic stuff, to go to the landfill because it will break down. Landfills don’t work like compost heaps, anything that breaks down in them will mix with the other toxic materials in them and create a yucky toxic liquid called leachate. Leachate can contain all sorts of heavy metals and if it gets into the ground, will contaminate groundwater, rivers, lakes and soil. So what’s the solution – talk to the education staff at Xtreme Waste about home composting, worm farming, bokashi buckets. Composting is great for all sorts of different organic material, grass clippings, veggie scraps, coffee grinds, tea bags, paper, leaves, cardboard, vacuum cleaner dust, garden clippings. Once composted down the finished product can be used on the garden or to grow some yummy veggies.
The Raglan Rooster report
Representing our small village, the Roosters traveled to Hamilton last Sunday, where they maintained their undefeated run against the Hamilton Zig Zags. The Roosters dominated play from kick off with some talented and gritty hard work. They were rewarded with a fine goal in the first half from Eddie. The second half continued with more solid defense, determined mid field play and several brilliant crosses. Their long standing mid fielder Johnny R played with his normal gusto, which lead to their second goal. Final score 2-0. Well done to all players for your strong and dedicated commitment to Raglan and the game. Running parallel to this league they also compete in the Scottish Cup League. Next weeks game is the Scottish Semi Final played in Hamilton against the Latino boys. Good Luck you Roosters Cock-a-doodle do.

An important reminder to all community groups who wish to apply for funding through the WEL Energy Trust. Applications for the 2011 Community Funding Round open on Monday 1 August 2011. Since 1993, the WEL Energy Trust has distributed around $53 million to a wide range of organisations for projects that benefit people and communities within the Trust’s district. The Trust has allocated $2 million to the 2011 funding round. WEL Energy Trust Chairman Mark Ingle advised that groups who have received funding in previous funding rounds are eligible to apply again in August, provided that they have completed the accountability requirements from all previous funding received. “We’re pleased to invite funding applications from groups that are providing an important service to communities within the Trust’s district” said Mr Ingle. “This round we are
urging groups to spend more time considering our criteria and how they help to make a difference in the community. We are looking to maximize the number of people who benefit from the grants by supporting groups who are creating things to do in our community, provide support, improve safety and well-being, all in a sustainable way. Applicants who demonstrate these priorities clearly will help us in making good decisions for the community.” Applications for the 2011 WEL Energy Trust Community Funding Round open on 1 August 2011 and close at 5pm on Wednesday 31 August 2011. Organisations can expect to be advised of the outcome of their application in late December 2011. Funds will be made available to successful groups in mid January 2012. Application forms can be obtained by calling the Trust office on 07 838 0093, or downloaded from the Trust’s website – www.welenergytrust.co.nz. Applications can also be made online.
Daffodil Day turns 21 This month [Friday 26 August 2011] New Zealand celebrates the 21st anniversary of the Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day. Daffodil Day has become one of New Zealand’s most recognisable awareness campaigns, after being introduced to New Zealand in 1990. Waikato/Bay of Plenty Cancer Society spokesperson Alisha Kennedy says the daffodil has, over the years, become well recognised as the Cancer Society’s symbol. “The daffodil is one of the first flowers of spring and was chosen to represent the hope there is for the one in three New Zealander’s affected by cancer.” Daffodil Day not only raises awareness of cancer in the community and the work of the Cancer Society, it’s also the charity’s main fundraising event. Last year Daffodil Day raised $567,000 in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty region.
“ S c h o o l s , community groups and businesses are also hugely supportive of Daffodil Day and special fundraising events such as muftidays, coin trails, cake stalls, golf tournaments and charity auctions are significant for fundraising too. “The people of Waikato/Bay of Plenty are incredibly generous. We really hope everyone will dig deep again this year! After all, the money raised locally stays in the region.” Funds are directed towards support services, health promotion programmes and cancer research.
“The Cancer Society receives no direct government funding so we rely on the support and generosity of our communities to operate.”
Those who want to support Daffodil Day and the work of the Cancer Society should watch our volunteer street collectors who will be out and about on Friday 26 August.
Alisha explains the National Bank has been a partner and sponsor since Daffodil Day began and the event has gone from strength to strength.
Alternatively people can make an instant $20 donation by phoning 0900 311 11, or an instant $3 donation by texting ‘daffodil’ to 883.
Swimming Club Floated A Sports Waikato initiative to establish a communitybased swimming club at the Raglan Area School seems poised to become a reality and all that is needed is volunteers from the community prepared to help. School deputy principal Marlene Smith said the club idea would be a tremendous development for Raglan and surrounding areas. Along with colleague Hinemoa Rossi, Marlene has had discussions with Sports Waikato swimming development officer Christine Jolly to find ways to open up access to the pool for the wider community and to keep the pool open
longer each year.
“We’re looking at the club opening our school pool in Term 4 and operating it throughout the Christmas holidays and Term 1. Currently we only use our pool in Term 1, due partly to the cost involved in maintaining it”, says Marlene. The club will employ an independent swimming coach and it would cater for all children in the area. “We need to stress that this is a community programme and it will rely on a community group forming to make it happen”, says Marlene.
of a club forming in Raglan is really sound”, says Christine.
Swimming lessons will be twice a week, though it is likely that in Term 4 only children who can already swim will use the pool, rather than absolute beginners. “It can still be cold in Term 4 so it’s important that students in the water can swim and keep moving to keep warm”, says Christine. It is estimated that about 80 schools in the Waikato region do not have a pool. This means that parents in these areas wanting to advance their children’s swimming skills are forced to travel to a place where coaching is provided – something Sport Waikato is very aware of.
Other benefits may flow from the establishment of a local swimming club, including potentially heating the school pool to make use of it for even longer periods of time. To move the reality of a swimming club a step forward, Marlene is asking for people in the community interested in forming a group to get in touch her at the school. “This is a community project, for the children of Raglan and surrounds. We just need a few folk to come on board to get it started”. Sue Russell Those interested in becoming involved with the swimming club are asked to phone Raglan Area School – Ph: 825-8140
“We’re really mindful of issues around time and cost to get some children to swimming lessons, so the idea
OPINION: Doubt about certainty. by Ian McKissack Sometimes it is difficult to find much humour around. The massacre of young people in Norway by Anders Behring Breivik is the kind of shadow that hangs around for a while. Coincidentally I was watching a historical documentary on Prime about the years leading up World War 2. There were shots of the fascist leaders of that time, Franco in Spain. Mussolina in Italy and Hitler in Germany. Stalin in Russia should also be included because his Communism had a very fascist element. The leaders all looked puffed up with power and certainty about their right to lead and knowing what needed to be done. This seems very similar to Breivik’s thinking and actions. He was apparently absolutely sure that his cause, opposing what he called the Muslimisation of Europe in general and Norway in particular, required a ruthless act to get his message heard.
fellow Norwegians he was feeling the power and the certainty that propelled those Fascist leaders to their squandering of human lives. So the question is whether certainty is always a good thing. We are obviously impressed by those who have such faith in themselves. We are unlikely to elect a politician who says something like: ‘I’m pretty sure I can do a good job of running the country but I might be wrong,’ even if that was the most honest statement. Or be willing to fly with the pilot who says over the intercom: ‘Look, I’ve had a bad day but I’ll do my best to keep you safe’.

We definitely want some certainty around most of the time. But I always feel uneasy around people who are too sure that they are right. Doubt as part of a reasonable level of humility is a safeguard. If Breivik had been blessed with more doubt he might have stopped much earlier and asked himself some questions.
I’m sure that as he stood aiming and shooting his
OPINION: A Raglan Rumination. by Albert Einsteinlager What has happened to the haka? It was once the domain of the mighty Maori warrior about to go into battle. It’s purpose was to promote courage in the participants and instil fear in the enemy. Who can deny they haven’t felt a pang of relief that they are not facing one of those haka guys in a real tussle? But alas. We New Zealanders have digressed. We now have TV footage of the NZ U17 soccer girls erupting into a haka after the game. Given the already mentioned purpose of the haka, surely this is soooo wrong. They don’t need to intimidate anyone. They have already scared their opponents enough by pushing them to a hard fought draw. The other villain in this tale of woe is the 20 something male on his OE. It is at this juncture that I must put my hand up and say that I am not faultless on this matter. 20,000 miles from home and feeling a little nostalgic, Albert has been known to erupt into a spur of the moment haka. Shame on you. The kisses from the beautiful European women could not hide the sneaky feeling in my bones that I just made a plonker of myself. Even now, nearly thirty
years on, with a little red wine and some oversees guests goading me on I still bust out the odd war dance. How can this insidious habit be stopped. Perhaps counselling. Perhaps, like all other bad habits in NZ, it should be legislated against. I suspect that if we do legislate against inappropriate use of the haka then this bad habit will just pop up elsewhere. It may manifest itself in such horrific sights as white men trying to shake their booty on the dance floor. Heaven forbid. Maybe the status quo is preferable.
