Dear Editor Ageing Growing old and retiring it is a nasty shock. I don’t feel old except when I test my capability in a rare way. Getting up off the ﬂoor would be an example. Like getting out of a bath or retrieving an apple that had escaped my shaky grasp. The other nasty moment is when I decide to have a shave and this old man appears in the mirror. Shady character I think. What is he doing in my bathroom? I don’t make life easy for this ancient mariner – my living area has various sized mats to cover the ﬂoor. Ideal for tripping me up. Luckily I have developed self-righting ability for when I stumble. It is more practical than swearing and cursing. My home help and my nearest and dearest think I should

Council admits failure over sewage spills, commits money to finding solutions

Greenslade resident Lee Knight points out the warning signs that were put up during the most recent spill at Greenslade.

aikato District Council is committing additional funding of $295,000 to make immediate improvements to Raglan’s ailing sewage system, as it scrambles to restore public confidence in its management of the scheme. At the Raglan Community Board meeting on Tuesday this week, the council finally acknowledged that having three sewage spills into the harbour in four months was nowhere near good enough, and it tabled a report outlining a range of actions that it would take to reduce any risks of overflows ever happening again. Waikato District Council Mayor Allan Sanson, chief executive Gavin Ion, service delivery manager Tim Harty and Infrastructure Committee chair Wally Hayes all attended the community board meeting. The report had earlier that day gone to the Infrastructure Committee for consideration. The report stated that it was clear that the Long Term Plan measure for wastewater overflows was no longer appropriate, and an increase in investment was needed to reduce the risk of these events from happening. It also recommended that a funding plan be developed and reported back to council in September. The Marine Parade pump station spill on March 25 was due to pipeline failure; the Whitley St pump station spill in May was due to maintenance not having been done, causing capacity constraints; and with the recent Greenslade Rd pump station spill the after hours responses to alarms

from the monitoring systems did not occur as required. Of the $295,000 in extra funding, $245000 would be spent on immediate improvements (Just Do Its) and $50,000 on an independent report on how to best move forward in the long term. The Just Do Its include: installation of SMS backups at all 18 Raglan pumping stations ($55,000); installation of generator plugs at all pump stations ($50,000); the installation of a backup generator, lighting and hoist at the Greenslade Rd pump station ($75,000); Contract City Care or equivalent to provide additional support ($50,000); and a public education programme ($15,000). “Further works would also need to be undertaken to enable a clearer and more robust programme to be put in place moving forward,” the report said. Infrastructure Committee chair Wally Hayes said he hoped the report would give the community some conﬁdence. “It’s a start of a process and it’s going to be a long one and a challenging one.” WDC chief executive Gavin Ion said it had been made quite clear by the community and the district councillors that they weren’t happy with the number of sewage spills in Raglan. “We are aware, to state the obvious, that we haven’t done a good enough job up to now.” Mr Ion said the council would work on identifying immediate actions it could take, and get a study done that would identify “how we might look at long-term actions”. He said the goal was to “strive for zero spills”.

MP FOR TARANAKI-KING COUNTRY ELECTORATE OFFICE CONTACT:

After the Whitley St overflow, WDC service delivery manager Tim Harty had told the community board that there was zero chance of having zero sewage spills, and had cited an industry standard that deemed it acceptable for there to be no more than five spills per 1000 connections per year. At the meeting this week, Mr Harty said: “We accept the number of discharges are not acceptable.” Mr Harty said a risk and condition assessment of all 82 pump stations in the district had been undertaken, and those in the top 10 – deemed most at risk – were all in Raglan, due to their close proximity to water. He said the council was looking at a “whole bunch” of site-specific solutions at Raglan’s 18 pump stations to mitigate any risks of further overflows. Council would also be smoke testing the network for holes where water could enter the system, and conduct house-to-house surveys looking for illegal connections where storm water is being channelled into the wastewater network. Mayor Allan Sanson said he was pretty upset to hear about the most recent spill at the Greenslade Rd pump station. Mr Sanson said the problems with Raglan’s wastewater network were largely due to a “legacy issue”. “As time goes on, communities grow, and you get add on and add on and add on.” He said if council was building a system from scratch it “wouldn’t have a system like this or pump stations by the water”. Mr Sanson said the community needed to be aware that the recent spills had happened during “adverse weather”, and the pump stations had been pushing 30-40 per cent more water through the pipes. He said people whose storm water had been diverted into the wastewater network, and those who put “inappropriate objects” into the system, such as pieces of wood, clothing, nappies, bits of metal and wet wipes, were all part of the problem. The council has committed $189,000 to investigate illegal connections. Community board member Peter Haworth questioned the point in spending thousands and thousands of dollars on stitching up an old system. “It’s like an old car.” In the community forum before the board meeting, residents made it quite clear that they wanted zero sewage spills, and that they were sick of being told by council that the spills were within the number of what could be expected. They said they wanted council to know that they had had enough. Inger Vos

Pat Day shows off an old school desk with connecting seat, on loan from a local family.

ld wooden school desks with round inkwell compartments and in some cases connecting seats, wood-framed slates which pupils once learned to write on and a hand-held school bell are among the treasures collected recently for an upcoming exhibition to celebrate 150 years of education in the Raglan district. The ‘Back to School’ exhibition – opening in mid-September to coincide with the area school’s 150th anniversary the following month – will highlight the geographical “breadth” of education locally, says project co-ordinator Pat Day, a past president of Raglan & District Museum Society. In all there have been a staggering 16 schools in an area stretching from

the northern side of Aotea Harbour to Waingaro. They include the likes of Kauroa School which opened in 1872 at Okete Church, Rukuruku School which began lessons in a corrugated iron building at Te Akau South in 1923 and Ruakiwi School which was set up in 1917 in a dining room. Though only six of the 16 schools remain open, several of those surviving also had humble beginnings. Te Akau School, for instance, opened in 1913 in a cabbage tree whare, while what is now Raglan Area School taught its foundation pupils in a tent in James Street in 1866. Of the schools that have gone over the years, Makomako down Aotea way looks to have been one of the last to close its doors. It survived through to 1983. “Many of our local schools disappeared with [the advent of more] school buses and cars,” Pat told the Chronicle.

Others like Raglan School just grew and grew. From its inauspicious beginnings it progressed into a new building – now the Old School Arts Centre – in Stewart Street. The Standard Six or Form ll children later moved on to Raglan District High which was built in Norrie Avenue, and which became in 1962 the area school for both primary and secondary students. There were proposals at one point for a Te Kopua School in the town centre. Though it never got beyond the early planning stages, longtime local Angeline Greensill believes the project progressed as far as talks with the then Education Department. Pat’s wife Barbara has spent hours recording conversations with older locals in the district who remember long walks in bare feet on metal roads to then remote schools like Te Mata. Catching a lift on the cream lorry or riding horses were other alternatives back then, they say. These and other memoirs for each school will be displayed along with photos on the walls of a mock classroom – complete with wooden desks – which is to be set up soon in the museum, Pat explains. An old-style dental clinic or “murder house” – with a dental chair and drill from the museum’s collection – will also be recreated, with the ofﬁcial blazer of longtime local dental nurse Pat Halliday and her reminiscences on display. It’s “amazing” what’s turned up, says Pat of the request by the Museum Society for memorabilia to support the exhibition. “We also had quite a lot in our collection.” Among the material there’s an exercise book of a Daphne Muriel Law in Form ll, dated 1944, and a later compilation of notes and photos of several schools in the district by A J MacDonald (Alexander). The exhibition also acknowledges the role played locally since the 1920s by the Correspondence School. “And that’s a big one,” Pat emphasises. Pat is grateful for funding from both Raglan Community Board and Raglan Lions, and reckons the exhibition has been one of the “easiest” to co-ordinate thanks to the work of cataloguer and museum assistant Kaz Willoughby. Kaz also went to the Old Friends website on Trade Me, cutting and pasting relevant local schoolyard memories before they were lost. The Back to School exhibition opens at the museum in Wainui Road on September 17 and will run for the rest of the year. ● In the weeks leading up to the exhibition’s opening the Chronicle hopes to publish edited transcripts of Barbara Day’s recorded conversations with longtime locals about their school days.

What’s up coach? A series of Q & A’s with our local coaches

This week the Chronicle caught up with Luca Grilli, coach of the girls U8 Seastars soccer team, who have recently won first place at the Papamoa U8 Girls Soccer Tournament 2016. Who do you coach? I coach the amazing U8 girls Seastars with the support of lots of the parents. How's the season going so far? Great, the girls have carried on their winning ways from last year. Last Sunday they played their first ever tournament in Papamoa against 15 other teams from the Waikato/Bay of Plenty area and won the tournament without conceding a goal in six tough games. But it was the way they played hard and competitive, but in the right spirit of the game, that made the coach and every parent there, very very proud.

How long have you been coaching for? This is the third year with the team but the second year coaching the Seastars. Why did you decide to put your hand up to coach? My daughter was keen to give it a go, so I naturally wanted to help out and having played myself it was an easy decision. Once you get involved you realised how much fun and rewarding it is. What are the highlights of coaching a team? Watching the girls grow and develop both as players and kids. They have been together for 3 years now and are a very close bunch of girls who care and look after each other and to see them pull off some sleek soccer moves on game day is pretty cool too. What are the challenges? To keep the girls interested and focused on practice day, you need to keep things fresh and fun. There are loads of resources

available but you need to be organised, which is not my strong point. Stopping the girls doing handstands during a game is proving to be a bit of challenge too. What is you coaching style? I don't think there is a style at this age. I believe in learning through having fun, play as a team and play at the best of your ability. More structure will come as they get older. Is it all about winning? Most definitely not, it's about taking part, trying your best and most importantly having fun. In saying that, I believe a certain amount of competitiveness is a good thing to have, we play to win and winning is good. Was sport important to you growing up? I didn't realise at the time, but soccer was a big part of my growing up from a kid

through to my mid teens, where I made it into the rep teams. I now wish I had kept playing a little longer. How do you think team sports benefit our young ones today? Being part of a team sport teaches our kids lots of social skills, it encourages that team spirit which is important later on in life. It gives them a feeling of belonging to something special. I know that all of my girls are so, so proud to be part of the Seastars. Best piece of advice you could give to parents Encourage and support your kids in whatever sport they are in to. Praise them went it is due without any pressure or expectations. Remember this is their time, we have had ours!

Seastars win Papamoa soccer tournament Over the weekend, the Raglan Seastars U8 girls soccer team participated in the Papamoa Girls Soccer Tournament and came out victorious taking out first place at the competition. The girls were up against some tough competition with 15 other clubs from the Waikato and Bay of Plenty taking part in the tournament. Well done to all the girls that took part and another well done to all the Raglan soccer teams for persevering through the cold and stormy weather this season.

Meet your mayoral candidates

Nominations for candidates wanting to stand in this year’s Waikato district close at noon on Friday, August 12. The Raglan Chronicle is running a weekly Q&A with the candidates standing for mayor. This week we feature Wally Hayes, who has served three terms as a Waikato District councillor.

Name: Wally Hayes Age: 53 Occupation: Elected representative for Tamahere and chairman of the Infrastructure Committee at Waikato District Council. Family: I am a widower. My wife, Suzanne, died in 1997 aged 32 and our son Jackson, now 21 is dairy farming near Horotiu. Why are you running for mayor? The culture in our council needs to change and I believe that change starts at the top. We need to become a council who listens, responds to community needs and is a valued partner to all our communities. We also need to become a council where there are high standards of conduct, professionalism and accountability. Why would you be a good mayor? Because I care – about people, communities, and I want to see Waikato District Council foster new relationships which are based on honesty, respect, and teamwork. I have the proven leadership skills,

personality and experience to bring people and communities together. I am a forward thinker who has high customer service principles with an acute sense of what is fair. I firmly believe in transparency and integrity. What style of leadership would you bring to council? Honest, pro-active, inclusive and transparent leadership which builds genuine relationships based on honesty and respect. Leadership that demands professional behaviour and accountability for members’ actions. Team work is vital in growing a strong and resilient council. I would encourage far more team work, more talking openly about the issues and challenges our district faces. I want councillors to freely communicate in an environment where everyone is heard and given the opportunity to contribute. What is your vision for the Waikato District, and where does Raglan fit in this? My vision for the district is for the council to work closely with communities to explore all opportunities to help them achieve their priorities and aspirations. I want to break down the “them-and-us” attitude that exists in some of our towns. There is greater strength in working together and learning from each other. All communities have unique qualities but Raglan’s star shines brightly in the region. It is the tourism capital of the district plus there are strong values here based on looking after people and the environment. There are some excellent creative minds in this community that we need to tap into when we are making future plans. Extreme Zero Waste is a good example of that. Raglan is leading the way in New Zealand in reducing waste. What do you think the role of community boards should be in Local Government? The Community Board is the voice of the community. There is nobody better than a community member to understand how a community operates. They have the inside

knowledge on what is important, the services each community desires and the direction the community is heading. It is all well and good for us to sit in Ngaruawahia and decide what Raglan or any other community needs, but we should be working collaboratively with the community board to plan and prioritise the individual community’s needs and desires. What will you do about Raglan’s ailing sewage system? As chairman of the Infrastructure Committee, I instigated the report that was tabled recently both at council and the Raglan Community Board. This report provides the information we need to understand the causes of the spills and what action we need to take to remedy the situation. How will you help Raglan to grow, and at the same time ensure that growth does not put pressure on town infrastructure or its residents? Planned growth is the best form of growth. I see it as council’s responsibility to ensure infrastructure needs and council services are planned and provided for in a timely manner. It is a real balancing act but needs to be done to avoid unnecessary interest costs from providing a service or facility that there is not enough demand for at that time, or lost opportunities due to services or facilities not being available when the community needs them. Raglan is a tourist town and numbers swell exponentially in summer. What would your council do to help relieve the pressure on our town’s infrastructure? These are issues faced by many tourism centres where the population multiplies over the summer months. While we should celebrate visitors bringing business to the town, it is always a challenge to manage services that are stretched to capacity for that time. A lot of it has to do with educating visitors about how they can reduce the strain on resources.

We need to continue to advise people about the importance of recycling and conservation and the proper use of infrastructure. Some of the problems with wastewater are caused by people misusing the system. We definitely need to have timely rubbish collections, monitor parking and police freedom camping. Raglan Rates. Any comments? I believe that capital value is the fairest rating system – where your rates are charged on your property value and you pay for the services you receive. I do however believe in more use of targeted rates, where the user of the service pays. A good example of this is the current refuse collection – those who receive the service pay for it and it costs nothing to those who don’t use it. The general rate should not be used to fund projects or services that benefit an identifiable group of ratepayers, unless the benefit is district wide. What do you see as the other main issues for Raglan? Raglan’s other main issues include storm water, freedom camping, the lack of ultra-fast broadband infrastructure and the challenges of maintaining the roading network outside the urban boundary of the Raglan ward. What do you think the council is spending too much money on, and where could this money be better spent? Council is already prudent with its spending and manages its finances responsibly. In the end, it’s always a balance between affordability, renewal and maintenance of infrastructure and the services we provide. Anything else you would like to add? I really enjoy playing Raglan Golf Course every few months with good friends who live here. It has one of the best views of any course I’ve played. It’s a real asset with even further potential. Mike and the team are doing a great job.

Councillor’s Column As your councillor, It has been a privilege to represent you. We have achieved a lot over the years for our community and that is why I have put my name forward to be your councillor for another term. When I first became councillor you wanted me to be professional at council and to get some things done. After my first term I was asked to be deputy mayor and then in the last six years have been chair of Strategy and Finance Committee, a senior leadership role. Locally there have been many issues requiring leadership and that continues to be the case. During my term, there has been significant investment in infrastructure, including water plant upgrades, community parks, and new and repaired footpaths. We have also changed the way our maintenance program is delivered, particularly in our rural roading areas by being more responsive. We have improved and extended our popular library service and with community and staff involvement a real hub has been created. The mayor and I have worked with government agencies to improve opportunities for youth across the district including Raglan. I’m proud to have advocated and gained support from my colleagues to have more local contractors carrying out local contracts and achieving sole provider status for Xtreme Zero Waste, who provide an enviable environmental service. As chair of the Strategy and Finance Committee we have created an independently chaired Risk and Audit Committee, giving far greater scrutiny of council performance including keeping debt

to manageable levels. I have been closely involved with Waikato Tainui as part of our joint committee, which has lead to a greater understanding of iwi concerns. Council has created a far greater focus on economic development across the district and I play a leading part in that including a number of initiatives here in Raglan. Looking forward, Raglan has a number of issues in front of us as our popularity continues to grow; I believe that with my experience and the relationships I have developed, as in the past I will demonstrate the leadership required to resolve them. I thank you for your continued support and look forward to working with you in the future.

A Property With "Wow" Factor A property like no other in New Zealand! The remodeling of this iconic Raglan landmark has to be seen to be believed.

The exceptional level of quality entries has presented our judging team with a challenge they are only too happy to embrace. It is with great excitement we announce the finalists of this year’s Awards. The Awards aim to encourage business excellence, with the belief that strong, successful business supports vibrant and successful business communities. Entrants have submitted an evidence based entry that must clearly articulate and demonstrate business success and the active pursuit of excellence across multiple disciplines. The finalists have also been interviewed by judges to further qualify their entry, providing opportunity for presentation of their business face-to-face. Andrew Buchanan-Smart of the University of Waikato Management School said, “It’s incredible to see the quality of businesses entering the Waipa Networks 2016 Business Awards and the fact that each year the quality gets higher means businesses are stepping up and we can be assured business in Waipa and Raglan is in an excellent position”. Tania Witheford - CEO Cambridge Chamber of Commerce said, “If these Awards were to be the basis on which we evaluated the health of business in Waipa and Raglan, we can be confident about our future direction and opportunity for growth. The finalists have put massive effort into their entries”. “Whilst winning is the ultimate goal, entry into the Awards provides businesses with the opportunity to reflect, evaluate, consider progress and realign future strategic direction as they gain valuable insights from the comments and feedback made by judges,” said Kris Anderson - CEO Te Awamutu Chamber of Commerce. Our congratulations go to all entrants and finalists.
