High number of rescues adds weight to lifeguard funding issue

Lifeguards at Ngarunui Beach have finished up weekday patrols for the season with 96 rescues performed over the summer period.

urf Life Saving Northern Region (SLSNR) says the 96 rescues at Raglan’s beach this summer highlight the importance of having paid lifeguards on duty throughout the week. SLSNR acting CEO Matt Williams says thanks to the community stumping up an extra $35,000 required after a funding shortfall from local authorities, paid lifeguards were able to patrol Raglan’s Ngarunui Beach on weekdays, from Monday to Friday, until February 19, which helped to keep down the national drowning toll for the summer. “Imagine what the drowning toll would look like today if those wonderful lifeguards had not been present,” he says. SLSNR’s Regional Lifeguard Service in Raglan had been at risk of being cut short this summer because of the funding deficit, until Waipa District Council and an anonymous donor had come up with the shortfall. In Raglan, which is one of SLSNR’s

busiest locations, lifeguards made 96 rescues. There were a total of 530 rescues in the northern region, which extends from Raglan to the Far North. Matt says the challenge now is for the Waikato funding of the Regional Lifeguard Service, which includes Sunset Beach at Port Waikato, to be included in the upcoming Waikato Regional Council (WRC) Annual Plan. He says SLSNR, which gets money from sponsorship, gaming grants, community trusts and council funding, had asked WRC for increased funding totalling $260,000 for its summer patrols but had got only $25,000, while HCC had completely cut its funding of $38,000. Rather than go cap in hand to the different local authorities to help fund the service, it would be better if it came from the one regional provider, he says. “Coastguard and Surf Life Saving have been working very hard on this and I can tell you that for only $5.70 per rate payer we can fully fund both our services in the Waikato … What a bargain!” Raglan Surf Life Saving Club

Information put on social media should also be reported to police aglan residents should report R any information regarding police investigations to the police rather than on social media, says Senior Constable Kevin McGartland. This month, two police investigations have sparked considerable discussion on the Raglan Notice Board Facebook page. In one incident, the photo of a man alleged to have inappropriately touched a 15-year-old girl at the Raglan Creative Market on February 14 was posted to the social media site, in a search for information about his identity. There was also a lot of discussion about people behaving suspiciously in response to a post about a home invasion on Smith St on February 22 at 10.30pm. Mr McGartland joked that police get all their information for investigations off the Facebook page.

But on a more serious note, he says: “They all put it on Facebook but no-one comes and sees me. “It’s so frustrating … especially in a small town.” Mr McGartland says he was not called to the Smith St incident until 1.30am because the woman involved was in shock and did not know what to do. The woman had been home alone and had put her baby to bed, when she turned around to see a man standing in her house. The French doors had been left open because it was hot. There was an altercation and “she elbowed him in the face, the jaw”, before he fled. The man is described as being in his 40s and Caucasian. Mr McGartland says police have not been made aware of claims on social media, regarding the incident, about “a Caucasian

man apparently being a menace in Te Uku a couple of weeks ago” or sightings of a suspicious man wandering the streets at 4am. “If you see someone like that, call the police.” He says no-one has come forward with any information regarding the incident. Meanwhile, a man appeared in court last week for allegedly grabbing the bottom of a 15-year-old girl at the Raglan Creative Market on February 14. The man, who is from Hamilton but has been living in Raglan, was charged with sexual affront. He did not enter a plea and will appear in court again in March. Mr McGartland says the man’s behaviour at the market had been noted by a number of people, and this was also heavily discussed on Raglan Notice Board. Inger Vos

administrator John Thomas says funding shortfalls are a concern for its volunteer lifeguards, who only patrol the beach during the weekend because of their own work commitments. “When we are all working, the beaches are not guarded. “We were concerned, as a club, that if someone would drown we would get the blame.” Volunteer lifeguards had copped abuse by the public for not being on duty when Hamilton teenager Cory Edgecombe Lilley was swept out to sea on a Thursday, November 26. His body has never been found. Two Chinese tourists also drowned at Ruapuke Beach, where there are no beach patrols, on Christmas Day. John’s advice is to not go in the water at an unpatrolled beach unless you are a “really experienced swimmer”, especially in the surf. He says the main problem is that people do not understand the ocean. “You can see families who will walk down to the water with their kids and put them straight into the sea where a rip is.” Volunteer lifeguards will continue weekend patrols at Ngarunui Beach until Easter. “There’s still another month to go … we don’t want there to be another catastrophe.” John says it’s been a very busy season in Raglan, with volunteers making 22 rescues on their busiest day. Trust Waikato Raglan Surf Life Saving Club convener of lifesaving Keagan Gaarkeuken says the number of rescues in Raglan this summer is already higher than the previous year. “We have already made 80-plus rescues this season and there were 49 last year.” To date, there has been 6350 preventative actions recorded, compared with 6300 for the entire season to Easter the previous year. Keagan says the crowds at the beach have been bigger this year because the weather and water has been warm. “The surf this year has been a bit more tricky to manage too, with the erosion over the winter causing changes to the currents … the currents have been quite strong.” The most dangerous time to swim in the sea has been two hours on either side of the low tide.

Colourful as ever: Kay Wilson as she was photographed on the Gold Coast this week.

I resident

t’s more than a decade since longtime and local kindergarten institution Kay Wilson upped stakes and moved to the Gold Coast, but she confesses to still missing Raglan “very much”. “I loved living in Raglan and having a harbour view … the peace and beauty of the west coast is still in my heart,” says the onetime colourful identity about town whose hair is now regularly dyed a mix of pinks, purples and blues! The first five years in Australia were a real wrench, Kay recalls. Eldest daughter Tanya had not long returned from London to the Raglan district while her other daughter, Mandee, hadn’t been too far away to visit in Kerikeri. But time’s a great healer and Kay reckons she and long-term partner Ross Youngson have now settled into the Aussie way of life, and 2½ years ago they bought a two-storey villa in a gated complex at

Arundel. “It’s nice although not by the sea; we didn’t have much choice what with the exchange rate and things.” Kay says everything’s a little easier now and that “life is good’”. “We’ve established our own little niche. There’s lots of Ross’s family around – including two grandsons and a great grandson – and we’re busy doing this and that …having coffees out and enjoying the social life here.” They say once a teacher always a teacher and Kay, who turns 70 next month, still does some private childcare along with unpaid work teaching English. Kay calculates she lived in Raglan about 35 years all-up – from her late 20s – and was a kindergarten teacher here for 25-30 years. “The kindy wasn’t really established back then (when raising her daughters),” Kay recalls. “The local mums just ran a parents’ get-together in the Stewart Street Union Church hall.”

At the same time, though, Kay was undertaking Playcentre courses, and an opportunity opened up for her when the local parents’ committee moved an old farmhouse on to a nearby site, painted it and put down lino. Kay ended up helping the main teacher run the Stewart Street kindy there, where it remains today, three mornings a week. Later she got her early childhood qualification and eventually became head teacher as the kindergarten expanded. Kay continued fulltime work in Australia with an agency called ‘Dial An Angel’ which provided childcare in private homes for “quite well-off” families. Some weekends she would work in a group at Couran Cove – an eco-friendly island resort, 35 minutes by ferry – looking after the children of professionals attending courses there. “It was lots of fun.” Around the same time Kay relieved in a childcare centre for special needs children, and also had a job in a pre-school called ‘Creative Kids’. These days Kay does some private childcare in the affluent Sovereign Islands for a pair of real estate agents and their families, and has three other families back on the mainland regularly offering her work. She says it all got so busy just before Christmas – ahead of a two-week trip back here for daughter Tanya’s wedding – that she could hardly keep up. For the past five or six years Kay’s also done voluntary work teaching English through TAFE, the Australian tertiary education provider. “I did a course on teaching English as a second language when I came over here and now work with students, often refugees and mature students, in their own homes.” She also teaches conversational English at the TAFE institute nearby in Southport. But Kay watches how much voluntary work she takes on because “I have other things I like to do as well” such as swimming three mornings a week at an Olympic pool close to home, attending art classes and being involved in U3A – University of the Third Age – where retired and semi-retired people come together to learn. “It’s nice to have the time to do these things without worrying about work,” she explains. Kay also finds time now to indulge in “a bit” of travelling. That included a couple of years ago an eight-week trip to India to visit ashrams and attend lectures in spirituality. “And I saw the Taj Mahal which was one of my dreams.” She and Ross also treated themselves last year to a month-long cruise around Indonesia. While the couple are sad to hear their beloved old character home overlooking Lorenzen Bay has been redeveloped beyond recognition, Raglan may not have seen the last of them yet. “I hope to come back one day (to live),” says Kay somewhat wistfully.

Harbour swim arms kids with life-saving skills

"In my eyes, those guys are legends," said Malibu Hamilton, a few minutes into our conversation. He was referring to the likes of Courty, Crowie, PC... a few of the names he had picked up from reading one the most recent Surf Columns. Children and adults alike take part in the annual Bridge to Bridge Harbour Swim.

hether mums make them do it, or they want to beat their mates, Raglan’s young swim club members are arming themselves with valuable lifesaving skills when they compete in the Bridge to Bridge Harbour Swim. Raglan Swimming Club committee member Hinemoa Rossi says being able to swim 200m is considered the benchmark “to save yourself from drowning in the ocean”. The Bridge to Bridge Harbour Swim, which has been held by the swim club every year since 2013, includes swims of 200m and 300m, for the youngest swimmers, and 500m, 1km and 2km for more experienced swimmers. The annual fundraiser is open to all members of the public, but the young Raglan swim club members “don’t have a choice”. “They need to be able to swim in the tide. It’s about the progression from the pool to the harbour to the ocean. “We live on a dangerous coastline and it’s important our children learn to swim.” Hinemoa says there are about 150 children in the Raglan swim club. They start out as Snappers and progress through Dolphins and Orcas before becoming Squad swimmers. “The 8 year olds who first swam in the Bridge to Bridge are now our young Squad swimmers, 11 years old. “We really push our young ones,” says Hinemoa.

She says other clubs from Hamilton and Auckland also compete in the event, and the Raglan swimmers more than hold their own. “You will see all the (Auckland) guys come along in their triathlon wetties, and underwater cameras, and our kids rock up in their boardies, without all the gears, and they are nailing it. “It’s a testament to the swim club.” However, Hinemoa says the event is not about winning, but participation. “Everyone can participate. You don’t have to worry about coming last.” Young Raglan swimmers Kuhga, Tom and Sam might beg to differ, however. “I do it to beat Tom,” says Kuhga. “I do it to beat Kuhga,” says Tom. “I do it to beat both of them,” says Sam. “Most of them do it because Mum tells them they have to,” laughs Hinemoa. Inger Vos *The harbour swim is on Sunday, March 6. Registration opens at 7.45am (late entry fee of $5 applies). Entry fee is from $5 for children to $25 for adults. The money raised goes towards providing warm pool solutions for the Raglan Area School pool, resources and swimming tutors. The 200m and 300m swims start at 8.15am and the 500m, 1km and 2km starts at 8.30am. More information is available at Bridge to Bridge Harbour Swim 2016 on Facebook.

First forum looking at key environmental and economic issues Some of the Waikato region’s key environmental and economic issues – including water use, pressures on our coastlines and biodiversity loss - was explored at a forum at Karapiro on Wednesday this week. Organised by Waikato Regional Council, the Sustainable Waikato: issues and actions forum was the first of three council-organised events this year to look at significant issues and options for addressing them. "These events are designed to enable important information to be shared and to inspire community conversations about issues that really matter in the Waikato," said chairperson Paula Southgate on Tuesday. “The interactive session – held at the Don Rowlands Centre - is the beginning of a shared journey to create a strong, sustainable Waikato.” Cr Southgate said items on the agenda touched on three of the most pressing issues confronting the region: • starting the conversation with stakeholders and the public on possible actions for the best use and management of fresh water into the future • coastal pressures, including sea level rise • arresting the rate of biodiversity loss. "These issues are being discussed globally but they are also critical local issues needing local solutions. To tackle them we need to share

information, start talking about solutions and collaborate,” said Cr Southgate. For example, action was needed locally to ensure sustainable use of water resources through wise allocation and management of water. Perspectives to be shared on water include those of: • Land and Water Forum chair Alastair Bisley (the forum, a collaborative and wide-ranging group of stakeholders, is a key adviser to Government and is developing a common direction for freshwater management). • Kate Alcock from the Sustainable Business Council, on what business thinks about water management. • Waikato-Tainui leader Rahui Papa, on iwi rights and interests. “Water quality and allocation over the next 50100 years will remain the region’s top issue. This is why the collaborative Healthy Rivers/Wai Ora work for the Waikato and Waipa rivers is vital. But beyond that we need to think broadly and creatively about the wise and efficient use of water in the long term,” said Cr Southgate. The event will also see the launch of a groundbreaking online tool developed by the council to help people visualise potential sea level rise scenarios on the Waikato’s coasts. The next forum is scheduled for July with a third set down for November. WRC

The same guys who had encouraged me to get in touch with Malibu in the first place. But to them, Malibu is known as Māori Mike. Malibu first came to surf Raglan in the early 1960s. He reckons he and his friends, Māori Paul (and eventually Black Eddy and Roger Brown) were the second wave of surfers back then, but probably the first group of Māori surfers in New Zealand. “There were very few of us [Māori] in those early days. Those Hamilton boys thought we were interlopers, coming to steal their waves. But myself and Māori Paul actually come from around here.” Even back then, that sense of ‘localism’ came into play on the waves. But over the years Malibu said his relationship with ‘the originals’ has turned into a beautiful experience.’ Born in Kawhia, Malibu’s people are all up and down the coast. At a young age he moved to Auckland to discover the opportunities there. But as soon as surfing caught on he was making regular trips to Whaingaroa. Malibu has watched the community evolve throughout the years. He has listened to the rhythm of the people. Taking time to observe the behaviours both in the lineup and on the streets. He has watched the waituatanga (spirituality) of the town change. “In the early days it was surfers who were keeping this town alive. Surfers like us, coming from Auckland, around the country and overseas. Even today surfers make up a lot of the day trips here, the night stays at different times. And the competitions bring a high profile. Surfers have come into this community and still do. They have bought businesses, developed businesses, employed people–and have been a serious contributor to the net worth of the Whaingaroa community, both then and now.” Our conversation turned towards the relationship of Māori and surfing– which is one that I thought would be more, connected. But it’s a bit more complicated than that. The interactions of surfers with Māori at the start of surfing, was one of warring against each other.

“We became self-centered on getting what we wanted, which was the wave,” Malibu said. “When we first started coming here, we would jump out of the car and down into the paddocks to get to the waves. In those days we didn’t ask. We didn’t have respect for the people that were here. … Surfers started abusing landowners as if they had a right to walk on their private land.” After observing an altercation between one of the landowners and a couple of surfers, Malibu and his friends stepped in. They took the time to talk to the landowners, to find out what the problems were. They became stalwarts in trying to back the owners and police the surfers.” Although things have changed over the years, Malibu still hasn’t witnessed much respect between surfers and mana whenua and tangata whenua. Surfing is an independent sport, and surfers can be self-centered when it comes to the surf. They don’t care to notice that the surf is connected to Karioi or the Township. They don’t always recognise the bigger picture. But then you have the ones who have taken the time to embrace the spirit of Whaingaroa. And once that gets into you, it changes who you are. You come back to it again and again. “There are those who have learned and developed themselves to become better people through surfing. They have learned to understand Tangaroa, Tāwhirimātea and Tāne-mahuta, you know that those people are feeling the ocean, they are with the ocean, sharing it and sharing the atua. There are more people doing that than what a lot of people think.” There’s a dichotomy of differing viewpoints of existence within Whaingroa. We are all rooted to the whenua, we are connected to the same ever-flowing tides. It’s our place, as a community to teach that respect, to lead by example. Malibu believes that Daniel Kereopa’s win of the Ultimate Waterman last year helped to prove that Māori can surf. “Here in Whaingaroa, the mana whenua hapū are in a better position because of it. There’s a lot more respect internationally, regionally and locally because of that,” he stated. Surfing has also contributed to Malibu’s passion for the environment. He has since taken his love for the water and surfing to the land, fighting to protect what we have. Karamea Puriri

The Raglan Garden Sessions: Volunteers needed way, pop by the next Raglan Garden Sessions. Thursday 17 March from 4 to 6pm. Garden Master Wayne will provide some gardening tunes and knowledge and Danielle will bring the juice and cookies. Karamea Puriri

he Community Garden was started ‘Garden Master’ Wayne six years ago, with the good intentions of bringing the community together to grow food to donate to the Food Bank, and provide a free source of food for the community. Located in town next to the Police Station on Wi Neera Street, the garden is easily accessible for everyone, and sits on traditional growing land. It’s some of the best soil in Raglan. Wayne has been working alongside the Enviro Centre’s Danielle to keep the garden going, but they could use some extra support. They find help from a few community members, but their main hands have been from the backpackers who are travelling through Raglan. “It’s kind of their way to give

back to the community,” Wayne said. But they would like to bring in more of the locals, those living in Raglan year-round. The Community Garden provides learning opportunities. Wayne aims for the ‘teach a man to fish’ mentality when it comes to the garden. “It’s an educational experience for everyone. And you don’t have to be a gardener to get involved,” Danielle mentioned. Like most community gardens, everyone gets really excited when they first hear about it. People are really enthusiastic about free food. But there is always a lack of commitment. “It’s nice to see the same faces helping out, but we’d like to have new people join in too,” Wayne said. Both Wayne and Danielle are busy wearing multiple hats within the community. So they are hoping to find a champion they

can count on to lead the Community Garden Sessions with their assistance. At the moment the garden has a few fruit trees, which were donated by Raglan Backpackers, potatoes, kumara and a few perennials that can grow year-round. Many personal contributions have been given to the garden including time, money and lots of love. But a community garden can’t be left up to any one person. It’s a community garden, for the community. A free source of food for everyone. Whether you have a green thumb or not, you can help out by making signs for the plants or do the weekly pick for the Food Bank. But if you’re not so keen on getting dirt on your hands, you could provide music during the Garden Sessions, bring snacks to keep the helpers happy or assist with community outreach to spread garden awareness. If you are interested in volunteering in any

Connect Seniors underway Connect Seniors is underway with several meetings having already taken place with different people and groups that are part of our senior community. Challenges that our seniors are facing have been discussed and our focus will be to overcome those challenges with support from other groups and individuals within our community. A highlight for many seniors at a recent meeting was seeing videos shot of different events that had been held around

Raglan recently. Not having been able to get to the event or not knowing about it allowed them to feel part of what had happened. After a recent meeting with our local Trust Hospital they mentioned the need for volunteers who are willing to come in and spend time chatting with residents. If this is something you would like to help with please give them a call on Ph: 825 8306 If you organize a senior group and have not heard from us yet, we would love to meet with you and hear what your group has

planned for the next few months. Please give me a call Ray (Diprose) on 021 384 729 or email me at raydiprose@gmail.com SENIOR CITIZENS GROUP MEETING:

Raglan Pride 2016 : Farmers Surfers and Assorted Strays

The Youngwww.traciehphotography.co.nz Ones A series of Q & A’s with the youth in Raglan

This week the Chronicle caught up with Lenny Galloway who is currently working as a copywriter in Auckland. The last time the Chronicle caught up with Lennie she had just been awarded the Arts Scholarship by the Raglan Community Arts Council. Where do you now live? The very expensive, but very awesome, Freemans Bay. What are you doing these days? Worrying about getting older... eating healthy, exercising...and working as a junior copywriter for an ad agency called FCB in Auckland. Sounds interesting, What does that involve? Every day is completely different. This last week alone is a great example. I took a test drive in a seriously fast performance car on Monday. On Tuesday I sat at my desk writing a print ad for that very car. On the Wednesday I created Facebook posts to let teenagers know depression and anxiety are normal and very common. And on Thursday and Friday I wrote and recorded some radio ads...and drank some (much needed) wine. What type of media are you mainly dealing with? I work on quite a few Government owned accounts like the Health Promotion Agency and The Ministry of Health. Naturally, the people these organisations want to talk to are young and on Facebook. So I make a lot of short videos and imagery for social media. Did your studies prepare you for this career? Yes, I learnt so much during my 1 year at Southseas Film & TV school and my Communications Degree at AUT. How to write, how to work to deadlines, how to think creatively. Also, without my tutors getting me a placement at FCB initially, I probably wouldn’t be there at all as it’s one of the top agencies in NZ. Are you also creative in your spare time? I occasionally draw or sketch in the beautiful park behind my apartment. Or

I create weird and wonderful smoothies in my Nutri Ninja (Gosh, I sound like an ad). I don’t have much downtime so most of my creativity happens at work. How has growing up in such an artistic family influenced you? I have no idea. I guess it’s led me in a creative direction instead of accounting (I hear you can get creative with that, though). What was it like growing up in Raglan? Just amazing. I realise it more and more as I get older. I feel so lucky to have grown up in Raglan (Thanks Mum!) What do you miss about it? My friends (They’re still my friends but we’re scattered all over NZ/the world), Ngarunui beach, the slow pace, my family, mum’s guava tree... Best community childhood memories? Patti’s dance classes...can’t think of any other ‘community-based’ memories. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I’m really not sure. I might still be in advertising, or maybe something health related. I’m getting more interested in naturopathy and holistic ways of healing the body...so we shall see.

An assortment of Raglan locals attended the Auckland Pride Parade earlier in February.

Raglan was represented at the Auckland Pride Parade for the second year running, again taking an eclectic mix of characters under the banner of 'Farmers, Surfers and Assorted Strays'. The float included 'No Way TPPA', GaySurfers. net and Radical Faerie NZ banners, while DJ Chris Rayner played what many spectators rated as the best sounds in the parade. The organisers thank the Yot Club for their support and the use of their sound system. The parade itself was a colourful celebration of 30 years since law reform and the decriminalization of homosexuality with some 1500 parade participants and 30,000 spectators gathering under the theme of Stories, Myths and Legends (Kõrero Tara). No Way TPPA signs reinforced the accelerating tide of refusal to accept the 'Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement' which will allow foreign corporations to sue the NZ government for any hindrance to their profits, and mirrored the enormous protest which blocked Auckland's city centre on Thursday the 4th of February. In the days prior TV news covered John Key being 'glitter bombed' at the 'Big Gay Out', but failed

to capture the ferocious audience of thousands disapproval who shouted him down from the stage before he managed to mumble a word. The GaySurfers.net banner followed the NZ premiere of the international surf award winning documentary 'Out in the Lineup', which screened during the University of Waikato's 'Surfing Social : Challenging Identities and Spaces' conference which ran from the 10-12th of February at Solscape. The documentary is now also available on Netflix. Radical Faerie represents a global community of nature identified folk who celebrate the role queer people played in traditional societies, and seek to remember queer people's place in a healthy human ecologies relationship to the natural world. The parade itself was delayed by a protest from 'No Pride in Prisons' against the presence of Police in the parade, and the Department of Corrections due to the treatment of transgendered people in prisons. Photographer and film-maker Romain Terrasson has completed this years film, to see a mix of these moments search YouTube for 'Raglan Pride Parade'. S. Thomson

And that’s what will be needed again this year if the event is to be a success. So if anyone can help out by donating goods or services to offer up as prizes, bringing along baking to sell or helping out on the day, please contact the organiser below. The race starts at 11.00am on Saturday 19 March, leaving from the boatramp by Te Kopua Domain, with participants free to walk, run or bike the route around the 3 bridges.

Outdoor bowls pairs champs

a series of interviews with local Foodies (people who have an enthusiastic interest in the preparation and consumption of good food)

This week the Chronicle caught up with local foodie Vicki Stokes.

How did you become interested in food and cooking? From a young age I enjoyed baking and always had to help Mum in the kitchen as she was busy milking cows! Then, once I travelled, that opened up a whole new world to flavours and new dishes, my favourite flavours coming from Greece and India.

Our Pairs Champions- L-R: Neve & Merleen Newport and Jim Boggiss & Bill Bond.

was a very hot humid day on Saturday Ioutt27th February for us all as we battled to become the champion player in

Who are you inspired by ? A foodie relative, a famous chef, a blogger? I am really inspired by friends that are chefs and that I have worked with. What’s your attitude towards food. Do you have a certain eating philosophy i.e. Vegan, paleo or sugar free. I like to eat healthy, but really my philosophy is taste! Food has to taste good no matter what it is! Do you follow recipes or do you wing it most of the time? I have loads of cookbooks which give me inspiration and always find a favourite recipe that I thrash, and then just experiment with. Do you have many failures in the kitchen? To be honest, usually most of the time it's all good! There is the odd recipe I have tried and I just didn’t like it so I won’t be making that again! Do you eat out often. If you do what do you usually go for? I don’t eat out very often, I prefer to cook. If I do go out, I just want good flavour and presentation. What is your kitchen tool you could not live without? I can’t live without my kitchen whizz! I use it for so many things. What ingredients would you bring on a deserted island with you if you could only choose three? Coriander, avocado and lemons!

the Women and Men’s Pairs events. It was pleasing to see such a turnout of players.

If you had to go on Masterchef who would you partner up with? Wow, there are so many friends that I would choose! What’s your go to meal when the cupboards are not well stocked? The something out of nothing meal? Usually wraps, I always have frozen ones in the freezer, then just add whatever vege's and meat I have available with lots of chutney! Always have that in the cupboard!

The aim was to win two games to qualify into the post-section play on Sunday. In the women’s section one team had two wins and two of the other teams had one win each so they played each other to see who would qualify with two wins or not. The final played on Sunday saw Heather Dalbeth and Eileen Stephens playing against Merleen and Neve Newort with Merleen and Neve being the winners. In the men’s section two teams qualified with two wins and four teams had one win each so they played to ascertain who qualified into the post section. In the semi finals Bill Bond & Jim Boggiss beat Blue Stephens &

Des Bishop with Ross Turner & Les Schlager beating Harold Crake & Murray Eddy. What a grand final game it was between Ross & Les and Bill & Jim!!! Seventeen all after the 17th end, with Bill & Jim taking the 18th end by having to measure their bowls to find the winner... a stunner of a game really!!! Congratulations to all our winners. Big congratulations to Merleen and Neve Newport on being selected to play in the National Squad of players in the 5 Years and Under Division. They will be playing in Wellington a little bit later on. Both Neve Newport and Jack Peel are representing our club at the Bowls Waikato Centre, Under 5 Years Division, Champion of Champions Singles Event being played this weekend. Raglan is certainly on the radar with top players!!! Well done and good luck. Happy bowling, Eileen Stephens

What do you usually take to a pot luck? Potato bake or salad and for nibbles – smoked snapper dip! I love my dips! What do you particularly enjoy serving up to friends and family? I love to serve up foods they haven’t tried before, different flavours that they wouldn’t necessarily cook themselves. Can you share a simple recipe with our readers: Salmon Dip • 1 can of Salmon, drain and take out any little bones • Add 1/2 – 3/4 a tub of cream cheese • Mash together with lots of lemon juice • Season with salt and pepper • Optional: add dill and gherkins

671d Wainui Road Manu Bay Forest Magic 6

On the way to Manu Bay there is a driveway that leads to a magical hidden world. Drive through the bush on the slopes of the majestic ‘sleeping lady’ until you arrive at a rustic cottage. There is a large, ﬂat lawn open to the north with all day sun but sheltered from the prevailing westerlies. With stunning coastal views this would be the most amazing site for your future dream home. The real star is the lush podocarp forest with pockets that have never been milled. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a truly unique piece of coastal Raglan. (3.81 hectares)
