Geoff: If 1080 is so safe we could drop in all the parks and playgrounds around Wellington! Think how much we would save in pest control every year. ...Oh hang on it’s not safe it is a dangerous chemical that is lethal to everything it touches. So remind me again why we allow it to dropped into our rivers and forests! Maybe we could use those sentenced to community detention to go and trap these pests and also perhaps the long term unemployed could spend a couple of days a month out walking in the bush and checking trap lines. Lastly couldn’t we further develop a market for the skins of these pests. Any thing is better than dropping poison indiscriminately in our forests.

NZ First has recently launched a project calling for a moratorium on the aerial use of 1080 in NZ. 1080 can be a polarising topic. On the one hand 1080 is essential to keep the pest population down, on the other hand it is highly toxic, banned in a number of countries and aerial drops can be harmful to other wildlife. What is your opinion on 1080 use in NZ and do you think there are alternative options… ?

Jake: I understand the fear in 1080 but I know firsthand that DOC has done their homework on this one, and there isn’t a better alternative. Trying to take away NZ’s best line of defence against predators would just be selfish. Kelly: Unfortunately I have not done enough research to offer up a fully formed opinion. Of the readings I have done and conversations I have had, I can see both sides. But it still doesn’t feel right to drop any form of chemical or concentrated substance into the incredibly complex environmental system and expect it all to be ok. Humans have a tendency to use first and ask questions later (especially when looking at chemical use), and so a moratorium suggested by NZ First is a good way to counter that. Perhaps it could be met half way, in areas inaccessible by humans air drops of 1080 continue, and areas which can be managed by humans, are (whilst exploring the economic benefits of expanding the possum industry).

Ro: While no one in their right mind condones poisons being dropped into our bush and waterways, the introduction of possums and the devastation that this animal causes to our native plant life, trees and forests has to be stopped. If not, then there will be no habitat left for our birds and wildlife John: DoC’s reports show to exist. DOC has a good conservation a downward trend for most record so if there is an alternative why at risk species. For examhasn’t it been used? Getting the balance ple, kiwi are likely to go right between conserving habitat and from the mainland within eradicating such an aggressive pest is difficult. Perhaps we could capture them 50 years. Less than 25% of conservation land has any pest control and only all (100s of thousands) and send them 8% possum, rat and stoat control. DoC’s back to Australia!! 2015 budget is 5% lower in real terms than 2008. 1080 is the most cost efficient pest control and will be until lures can Bob: 1080 should be be improved in automated traps, or banned, Put the unembirth control for pests perfected. The ployed to work to get rid only current alternative would be lots of http://ww of the pests. Trapping and volunteers to maintain trap lines - ask the skinning.

Police eye greater presence here to ensure orderly festive period co-ordinator Kathy Gilbert they would work with the council on the possibility of getting CCTV cameras in carparks at places like Ocean Beach, Wainui Reserve and Manu Bay for both personal safety and to stop theft. “We all of us need to set the standard in our community,” Inspector Hassan said of cooperation between police and the public. “It’s about reinforcing good behaviour, not putting up with bad behaviour.” A greater police presence this year could be expected from the week before Christmas, coinciding with the start of the school holidays, she said. “We will be policing to demand from you the community.” Edith Symes

The Raglan Community Patrol has a new vehicle to use for its patrols around the streets of Raglan. The organisation has managed to obtain a better car – a little silver Nissan – after doing some fundraising and getting the help of sponsors such as Jim Wright Nissan, the

Gallagher Group, the Raglan Club and WEL Network. The car is now out on the streets of Raglan sporting the Community Patrol NZ logo and its blue and white stripes. Raglan Community Patrol spokesperson Narina Hurst says so far this year the patrol vehicle has travelled 1884km over a 584hr

Top police brass flagged their intentions at a public meeting they held last week at the area school in the wake of community concerns over unruly behaviour about town last summer. Western Waikato Area Commander Naila Hassan told the gathering of 30-odd community representatives that police “will and can do better this summer to keep the community safe”. “It’s about prevention,” she said referring to complaints of drinking and fighting in the streets during the last Christmas-New Year break. The town was not as orderly as it could’ve and should’ve been, she added, because of the volume of holidaymakers and “how we policed”. “What happened last year is why we are here (now),” Inspector Hassan admitted. Alongside her at the Tuesday night meeting were Senior Constable Kevin McGartland of Raglan Police and Sergeant Neil Mouncher, the officer in charge of Raglan and Ngaruawahia policing. Inspector Hassan said she personally would be working in Raglan during the critical period because “I want to see it (the situation) for myself”. “But we cannot police alone,” she insisted. “We need you too … the support of the community.” She referred to the community as “capable guardians” who needed to report incidents like bad driving for instance so police could act accordingly. Road policing and family violence were important areas of crime prevention, she said, urging residents

to be watchful. There would be lower police tolerance to both unregistered cars in town and to breaches of the liquor ban over the holiday period, she told the meeting. “A lot of bad behaviour is around alcohol.” Inspector Hassan has also requested a “demand picture” of Raglan for last summer so that trouble-spots can be identified and staff allocated to help prevent volatile situations erupting this time round. “We will expand that police presence,” she promised, adding that numbers had to be based on evidence from last summer. “We are here for you and to keep everyone safe.” Councillor Clint Baddeley welcomed the opportunity to improve the ChristmasNew Year situation, and thanked Inspector Hassan for “giving us the confidence” in better policing. “The community will support you,” he reassured the police. Those at the meeting discussed other concerns with the police around community responsibility in keeping the town safe. Police assured the public they would work with Waikato District Council as well as directly with local supermarket and bar managers in seeing that people adhered to the liquor laws. Ocean View Bed & Breakfast owner Amanda Cron also mentioned family responsibility in terms of supervising teenagers’ drinking habits. “There’s an attitude here that it (underage drinking) is easy to get away with.” Inspector Hassan agreed “we need to put some responsibility back on parents”. Signage around the annual liquor ban was also deemed “inadequate” at the meeting, its small size and high positioning making it hard to notice. Police assured Neighbourhood Support

period, with two members doing two-hour shifts at a time. “We all care about our community and we want to be of assistance to the police,” Narina says. The local group has been operating for 13 years and currently has about 17 active members, mostly retired people, but is keen to have new, younger members too. Members have to undergo police checks and meet strict criteria before being selected. Then they have to do an in-depth training programme, where patrol members are taught that their job is to observe and never get directly involved in anything they see while on patrol. “We are the eyes and ears for the police and we report to the police any [suspicious] activities,” she says. Members have to document everything they observe and pass on their information to police about “things that don’t seem right”. The police sometimes call upon them to do special patrols too. New Raglan policeman Duncan Bourke says the community patrol is an invaluable part of the rural police team and their patrols help prevent crime. “Rural policing is a challenging environment so the more eyes and ears we have will help keep the community safer.” Constable Bourke says in the short time he has been in Raglan, he has been impressed at the way the community comes together, such as with the community patrol.

aglan professional surfer Billy Stairmand has notched up a second place in a surf contest that will go down in history books as the world’s first stadium surfing event.

The Red Bull Unleashed competition was held at the wave garden at Surf Snowdonia in North Wales this month. Hawaiian Albee Layer beat Billy 3-1 in the final in front of a 2000-strong audience in the purpose-built viewing stadium by the lagoon.

It was a unique location and a unique competition concept, whereby two surfers went head-to-head in a best-of-five waves contest. Surfing NZ spokesperson Ben Kennings says wave gardens used to be popular in the 1980s but then fell out of favour. The one at Snowdonia was the first commercial wave garden and was designed in Spain. “These guys reckon they’ve got better technology to make better waves,” Ben says. The wave garden makes for a controlled surfing environment where each wave is the same – about 1.5 to 2 metres high. “The wave suits him [Billy] because being in a wave pool it’s not that big,” Ben says. “He’s so small he has an advantage over bigger guys.” The second placing is “massive” for Billy, with lots of publicity around the event boosting the Raglan surfer’s profile and Billy proving himself against some very good surfers. Billy is currently placed at 33 on the World Surf League men’s qualifying series, dropping eight places after a bad result at his last event in Portugal. Ben says there are four qualifying events left on Billy’s calendar for this year and “he needs four big results”. Rachel Benn

Freshen up your diet with blueberries!

A colourful selection of teapots on offer at the Herbal Dispensary.

ith warmer weather just around W the corner we can look forward to changing our diets, ditching the

slow cooker and starting to enjoy lighter, fresher meals. This week we’re spotlighting blueberries, which are a great addition to summer salads or smoothies.

The humble blueberry packs a potent health punch. Considered to be one of the most nutrient dense berries, they are packed full of vitamin C, manganese and dietary fibre. Blueberries contain antioxidants called anthocyanins, which help to neutralise free radicals and prevent damage to cells and tissues.

Blueberries are anti-inflammatory so have multiple potential health benefits. They may help reduce the effects of age-related disease such as Alzheimer’s, cataracts and high cholesterol. They can help prevent urinary tract infections and protect the skin from sun damage. On top of that, they are low in calories so make a great snack. Blitz some frozen blueberries into a Smoothie, quench your thirst with a blueberry and apple juice, have a daily dose of 100% pressed blueberries or add freeze dried blueberry powder to your juice, yoghurt, breakfast cereal, tea or baking. We have all the blueberry products mentioned above in-store, and all organic! Blueberry breakfast smoothie: Ingredients per serve: • ½ cup of frozen blueberries • 20g clean lean protein (natural or vanilla) • 2 dessert spoonful’s of coconut yoghurt • 1 banana • 1 cup of almond milk Put all ingredients in a blender and mix.

Peter Pan production a success A talented group of performers from Raglan’s Children Theatre School – Drama Trix, trod the boards of the Town Hall last weekend in their production of Peter Pan, and boy did they impress!

A captivated audience were enthralled by stand out performances from all of the 26 strong cast, who ranged from age six to 14 years. Loved by young and old, audience member’s commented “how professional it was,” and that they were “blown away.”

Children after watching the show vocalised that “it was just like the movies.” Artistic Director and teacher Ruth Hare says it was a very successful performance. She says, they are already talking about what they will wow you with next year!

Anexa FVC Raglan Open Day Thursday 8th October

You may have noticed over recent months some extensive renovations have been happening at the Raglan Vet clinic. Although this building was purpose built as a vet clinic around 40 years ago, it was no longer fit for purpose. Over this period of time our workload has changed, our equipment has improved, our capabilities have expanded and our clients’ expectations have risen. In order to fulfil the modern demands of a vet clinic we had to change! Every room in the clinic has been modified or moved. Our old vet office is now the modern, sterile operating theatre; the old prep room is now the nurses’ station; the kennels are in the same place but have been completely updated and refitted. Come and see for yourself our NEW clinic. We realise that the ’build’ put pressure on our clients, as we all put up with hammer drills, nail guns and constant shuffling of rooms and equipment. We want to thank the patience of everyone by inviting you to our Open Day. There will be competitions, draws, fun activities and a sausage sizzle. So bring along the whole family and have a look at what the new clinic can offer you and your animals. Old Kennels

There’s Puawānanga (clematis) flowering in the forest, kowhai in the backyard and people are hearing Pipiwharauroa (shining cuckoo) – all traditional signs that summer’s heading our way – and it’s time to get planting!

nurturing and expanding stocks of plants that grow well in the Whaingaroa environment. Long term the seedbank aims to hold and distribute locally saved seeds to provide our community with a local, resilient food source.

There are plenty of benefits to growing even a little bit of your own food, all you need is seeds, soil and a couple of pots or a little plot. The Whaingaroa Environment Centre has a volunteer run seed bank, to build a locally resilient food source, make gardening affordable and to share knowledge. Here are our top 5 reasons to grow your own food from seed:

It tastes better Back in the good ol’ days a huge variety of plant foods were grown. Most supermarket produce is grown in large mono-cultural plots and now only a few varieties of each crop are selected, often for their ability to withstand commercial processes like picking, long storage and transport. The seedbank holds a range of Heirloom seeds, old varieties that have been grown for many generations for qualities like taste, nutritional value, yield and long growing season. Ever tasted purple carrots, black basil or blue beans?

It’s a lot cheaper At the moment chillies are $69/kg in the supermarket – a packet of our 6 chilli seeds will cost you just $1. Save the seed from the plants you grow and you won’t even need to keep buying seeds. Free food! It makes strong plants Growing food and saving seed from the best plants, is how crops have been handed down from generation to generation. Seeds are saved from plants that are best suited to the local soil, the local weather and the local insects. The seedbank aims to keep up this tradition, to help people grow, save and share their seeds,

Kaahu’s

It’s a tiny act of rebellion People have been cultivating new varieties of plants for centuries, cross pollinating similar plants over several generations to create new plant varieties. The first generation when you cross polinate are called F1 Hybrids, they tend to be bigger and faster growing than their parents, a phenomenon called hybrid vigor. This is still a natural process however the plants are a one hit wonder and seed saved from these plants won’t all grow to be the same, they will have a mix of traits from their parents, so you may have to keep buying seeds from the company and you’re no longer self-sufficient. Often these hybrid plants will require more water and fertiliser.

Then there are genetically modified seeds, instead of crossing different but related plants, companies splice genes from different biological kingdoms, like bacteria with a plant. For example, Monsanto has crossed genetic material from a bacteria known as Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) with corn. The goal was to create a pest-resistant plant. This means that any pests attempting to eat the corn plant will die since the pesticide is part of every cell of the plant (although pests are already showing resistance). The resultant GMO plant, known as Bt Corn, is actually registered as a pesticide…. delicious! About 90% of India’s cotton is based on Bt cotton seed; Monsanto are the dominant suppliers of those seeds. There are many concerns that we don’t fully know what the effects of messing with plants will have, especially if they cross pollinate and contaminate non GMO plants. All you need is healthy soil and healthy seeds to stick it to the man! And it’s really easy Now that the soil is warming seeds like peas, beans, carrot and beetroot can be sown directly into the ground. Grab a few seed trays and start some tomato, cucumbers and salad greens in a warm sunny spot. The Whaingaroa Environment Centre can help you choose seeds and we have excellent resources which make growing food from seed easy as!

New post at PGG Wrightson for rural agent

Avid surfer Richard Thomson with his daughter Libby.

L recently joined the team at PGG ocal agent, Richard Thomson has

Wrightson offering his knowledge on the rural property sector.

Before entering real estate, Richard had been farming all his life. He has farmed

most soil types from clay to peat to pumice and many systems from all grass to intensive zero grazing, completing 16 years’ successful 50/50 sharemilking and finishing up with 800 registered pedigree Jersey cows. As a result, Richard has a good understanding and real passion for the rural sector and the people in it. He uses his knowledge in farming to help accurately market and sell rural properties big and small, from lifestyle and coastal, to sheep and beef to dairy farms. In addition, he wants to help buyers find exactly what they are looking for as easily as possible. Richard lives on a drystock property near Raglan with his wife, Christine, and three children, Jack, Libby and Ayla-Rose. Interests other than real estate include diving, fishing, surfing, breeding cows, motorbikes, spending time with his family and encouraging them to follow their passions. Be it horse riding, rugby, learning to surf or catching their first fish, he gets a thrill out of being present at those moments. Richard has a community spirit, a strong work ethic and competitive nature. That, combined with support from the team at PGG Wrightson Real Estate, Richard looks forward to working with you in your real estate needs and exceeding your expectations in a real estate salesperson. Give Richard a call today to discuss your rural property needs: Richard Thomson Rural & Lifestyle Real Estate Specialist B: 07 825 8138 M: 027 294 8625 H: 07 825 8138

Mental Health Awareness Week: 5 – 11 October 2015

Mental Health Awareness Week 5 – 11 October 2015

Give, Koha me te Aroha

he theme of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is GIVE.. It feels good to give – even a smile can make someone’s day. Everybody has something to offer and giving doesn’t have to involve money. Sometimes the greatest gifts of all are your time and your kindness. How will you play your part?

• Join the Raglan Timebank http:// whaingaroa.org.nz/portfolio/ timebank-2/ • Give a smile away! • Offer to mow someone’s lawns, make a meal for new parents or bake and give away a cake • If you know a young family, offer to look after their children for an afternoon or an evening to allow the parents some time to take a walk or just spend some child free time together • Offer to help an older neighbour with their recycling bag/bin on rubbish day or organise a street rubbish run to Xtreme Waste • Give someone – even a stranger – a compliment. It can give such a lift! • If you have excess fruit or veges drop them off at the Foodbank (Monday or Friday afternoons) or check out the Raglan Social Pantry on Facebook • Donate toys, clothes, books or bric a brac etc to the Bargain Basement or Lions Shop • Become a Caring Caller for St John or join Age Concern as a accredited visitor for the elderly and isolated in our community • Offer your skills to a committee of interest who could benefit from your experience - there are lots of not for profit groups in Raglan who need governance members • Do a random act of kindness – make someone’s day!

CORRECTION: In last week’s Raglan Chronicle stor y on the Raglan Maori Wardens it was mistakenly reported that about 1000 people come into the wardens’ office ever y month. The number is actually about 400 people a month. Our apologies for any confusion that was caused by this mistake.
