ighway 23 is the road to Raglan. It's history has as many twists and turns as the road itself.

Raglan only became Raglan in From 9:30AM Mon-Fri 1858 after an official name change and 9AM Sat and Sun from Whaingaroa. However, at that Waterfront dining time the Hamilton to Raglan road indoor Open 7 and Daysoutdoor seating did not exist - there was only a Restaurant | Live Music | Bar walking track.

07 825 8010 In 1864 six bridges were built to harbourviewhotel.co.nz make it into a packhorse trail. Work thewharfkitchenbar.co.nz

began in 1878 to make it passable by stagecoach.

This coach road was completed by 1880, and metal was laid between 1907 and 1921.

In the meantime the deviation over the main range (by-passing the old mountain road) was completed in 1912.

By 1961 the road had been tar sealed, and at that time it was gazetted as “State Highway 23” and that's when it lost its old handle.

Over the last two weeks in the Raglan area there have been eight family harm incidents, five burglaries, four other dishonesty crimes and four drink driving incidents.

Obviously, it has been a busy couple of weeks, with not only the above incidents but water rescues, driving complaints, various other investigations, and the never-ending dilemma of found and lost property.

We would like to remind people that Raglan has a liquor-ban area. If you are not familiar of where it is exactly, jump onto the Council website. You can’t say we didn’t warn you, and it is an instant $250 fine, so please, no liquor in the ban area.

Some lessons we do not need to each learn ourselves, let's heed the warnings of others. We are all human (as far as I am aware) and we are all capable of making mistakes - seatbelts, lifejackets and helmets can make the difference between a good story and a sad story.

Please ensure as the weather changes, so does our driving: • Drive slower than you normally would – it only takes a split second to lose control in wet or icy conditions.

• Avoid sudden braking or turning movements that could cause you to skid.

• Accelerate smoothly and brake gently.

From Andrew and the rest of the Raglan Team have a great week and remember to look out for one another!

Exhibiting artists include Catherine Houston who was stranded in Brisbane for eight months during the Covid border restrictions. Catherine took the opportunity to explore and express the Australian fauna and flora by producing eight paintings.

“I found using a different colour palette exciting and challenging,” she says.

“I learnt that a vital part of being a farmer is to be observant, to notice any changes in the condition of the stock and of the land and pasture. And being observant is a big part of being an artist – to notice and then represent colours, shapes and patterns.

RSA president on the meaning of ANZAC Day

BY RAGLAN RSA PRESIDENT SAEN O'BRIEN

W

hy does ANZAC day mean so much to NZ and New Zealanders and what does ANZAC Day mean to me?

To understand ANZAC Day it is inevitable that we go back in time to the 25th April 1915, the date itself marks the anniversary of the landing of New Zealand and Australian soldiers – the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps or ANZACS as they are known– on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915, 102 years ago.

Thousands lost their lives in the Gallipoli Campaign: 87,000 Turks, 44,000 men from France and the British Empire including 8,500 Australian and 2,779 New Zealanders, a staggering total of 131,000 men; by comparison Hamilton and its regions have a population of approximately 184,905 people.

Gallipoli saw Maori soldiers serve for the first time in a major conflict with the NZ Army, although a small contingent did serve in the Boer War, to be precise in WWI- 2,688 Maori Soldiers served, 346 Pacific Islanders and 150 Nuieans.

During WWI the total number of NZ troops and nurses sent overseas were 100,444 from a total population of approximately 1 million people - just over a tenth of our total population.

The following statistics outline the overall NZ casualties from WWI • 16,697 were killed in action (KIA) • 43,317 were wounded • 507 died while training in NZ between 1914 - 1918 • another 1,000 died within 5 years from their wounds • NZ suffered a 58% casualty rate There was a not a city, town or village in NZ that was not affected by this tragedy and the terrible effects were felt not only personally, but also economically and politically. This disaster caused a change in mindset with our military and political masters and both the Australian and NZ governments decreed that our troops would never again be sent into battle outside of our chain of command.

First observed in 1916, ANZAC Day – 25 April – commemorates those killed in war, as well as honouring returned servicemen

and women, their families and communities who still remember the sacrifice those service personnel made. It is also a day to remember current New Zealand Defence personnel serving in some far away land away from their families and friends.

So that gives you the background of what happened and is a good indicator why it means so much to NZ and NZ’ ers. Lest we forget.

So how did we fare in others wars to date?

Since those early days NZ has contributed to and punched well above its weight in operational zones from Korea, Malaya and Borneo, Viet Nam, Rhodesia, Angola, Cambodia, East Timor and Iraq and Afghanistan – to name but a few.

ANZAC Day is dedicated to those who have served, those who have died and those who continue to serve, this includes their families and most importantly the communities that we all come from and inevitably will return back to.

However, this service has not been without consequence since then the number of NZ Troops KIA follows: • WWII 11,625.00 • Korea 41 • Malaya/Malaysia 26 • Vietnam 37 • Thailand 2 • Rhodesia 1 • Falklands 1 • East Timor 5 • Kuwait 1 • Afghanistan 10 So where are our troops now?

Our defence force is actively engaged in operations and activities in Aotearoa/New Zealand and across the globe.

The NZDF has around 200-250 personnel deployed on overseas operations each year.

On ANZAC Day we send out our prayers to our servicemen and women wherever they are deployed, their families and wish them safe travels back to NZ. So what does ANZAC Day mean to me?

This year will be the 52nd ANZAC Day Ceremony I have attended that I can remember, since a child.

I can remember my father, and great uncles marching in ANZAC Day Parades across various sites in Auckland and I have been

Saen O'Brien, Raglan RSA President stands at the cenotaph on Bow St.

privileged to attend ANZAC Ceremonies in various towns in NZ, Sydney, Melbourne, Luanda (Angola), Dili (East Timor) and Canchanabrai in Thailand.

I have very mixed emotions about ANZAC Day and I find it a day that is solemn, sad, tearful, a time to reflect and remember, of mates that have passed away and of good times we have had – of hardships and of camaraderie that can only be found as quoted “in we small band of brothers” or sisters.

I come from a proud heritage of sailors and soldiers, but I also come from a long line of teachers; my mother, brother, cousins, father and mother in law and sister in law are all, or were all, teachers. I remember one of my 6th Form Deans (and ex-soldier) saying if you can read and write thank a teacher, if you can read and write English thank a soldier – something to ponder on.

I look out at our youth on ANZAC Day and see our future, it is a future made on sacrifice and I hope you can appreciate what has gone

before you and given you the freedoms which you enjoy, but remember freedom is not free it comes at a cost.

In closing I would like to leave you with the following: Recited on ANZAC Day is verse 4 of a poem written by Robert Laurence Binyon, often referred to as “Binyons Lines” or more properly “For the Fallen.” Within the RSA this is referred to as The ODE. It is recited in most RSA’s in NZ, at all military funerals and most importantly on ANZAC Day. “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun, and in the morning We will remember them.”

World Surf League

Billy Stairmand Claims Victory at Mad Mex Maroubra Pro

B

illy Stairmand (NZL) and Holly Williams (Sunshine Coast) were victorious at Sydney’s Maroubra beach at the Mad Mex Maroubra Pro presented by N G Farah World Surf League (WSL) Qualifying Series on April 6.

In the Men’s draw it was New Zealand Olympian Billy Stairmand who had the strongest spark this morning. It started with a takedown of Darcy Crump in the Quarterfinals followed by a tight matchup with in-form Thomas Carvalho. Stairmand also scored the highest single wave of the day (8.00) signalling his strong start to the final. Alistair Reginato, although on the back foot early, had an incredible campaign at Maroubra this week and was also happy with his overall result.

“Last week I qualified for the Challenger Series so I had a lot of pressure off my shoulders coming into this event,” said Stairmand. “I was super comfortable out there, I love those little lefts being from Raglan, I think we’re just lucky to have the waves we did out there. I thought it was going to be a bit smaller but I love it, I’m pretty small in stature and it worked out my way. I’ve been on the Qualifying Series for a while now and I always love coming back to Maroubra.”

The Mad Mex Maroubra Pro wraps up the Vissla NSW Pro Surf Series ahead of the start of the World Surf League Challenger Series start with the Boost Mobile Gold Coast Pro in May.

Raglan’s letting the dogs out

Christine had never owned a dog before and their people for a beach walk Lenny. fundraiser?

You get the Rag Dog Muster on Saturday, April 24, at 9am.

Dogs and humans of every kind will head out for nearly 11-kilometres walking or running along the beach, through the Wainui Bush Reserve, over a paddock and back again.

Beginning (and ending) at Papahua Reserve by the skateboard bowl, the doggy day out is a fundraiser for the Raglan Veterinary’s rehoming unwanted/stray animals’ fund.

Organiser Christine Stewart was inspired by the 4 Paws Marathon in Christchurch and her own experiences with a rescue dog.

“I heard Dr John Malloy interviewed on the Kathryn Ryan radio show and he organised the marathon. I thought we could do that.

Not a marathon but I thought a 10k sounded doable.”

Christine’s love of her rescue dog is very much at the heart of the mammoth effort she is putting in to organise the event.

It was a volunteering role at the Raglan Vets walking a rescue dog that turned

She’s had him for nearly four years now and while it took a bit of time for him to settle, Christine says it was worth the effort.

“Donna at the vets said it was a match made in heaven. He was so thin and sad-eyed, and I had the time. I needed a lot of time with Lenny that first year.”

Christine and Lenny have met many rescue dogs on their regular walks around Whaingaroa and she is heartened by their stories and understands the dedication it takes to adopt a rescue dog.

“It's a big commitment to take on a rescue dog. They’re not easy to rehome. You've got to have a person who really has an affinity for dogs and the time to spend with them,” she says.

Whilst the event is all about the dogs, Christine reckons it’s a great day out for people who don’t have a dog but would love to walk with a pack of friendly pooches.

“Anyone can join, they don’t need a dog.”

Like many events over the past few years, the muster has hit a few Covid speed bumps including being rescheduled.

Live Music: Country Music Sensation at Old School

C

ountry music artist Jackie Bristow is performing in Raglan, May 1 as part of her Album release tour- Outsider. She is particularly looking forward to the Raglan performance at the Old School. ‘I love the cool vibe of Raglan and the free spirit of the place. I’m super excited to visit the town again.’

Jackie Bristow has taken many musical journeys to reach her fifth album, and her first in six years. The New Zealand native has gone to Sydney, Los Angeles, Austin and Nashville to pursue her artistic vision.

The happy result of all her moves, OUTSIDER finds her standing at the crossroads – of soul and country, rock ‘n’ roll, and singer-songwriter folk – and reveals her drive to embrace change, keep moving , and to discover something new and exciting.

Recorded in Nashville with an all-star cast of soul and Americana musicians, Outsider is Jackie’s tribute to the music of the American South. A collection that underscores Jackie’s life as a global artist, Outsider is inspired by the myriad sounds found in her adopted home of Nashville, one of the capitals of American music.

“Nashville feels like a melting pot in a hub of creativity,” says Jackie. “Being

Country music artist Jackie Bristow.

exposed to such great American music has really inspired me.”

With its mix of acoustic and electric guitars, pedal steel, banjo, strings and horns, the album stands as a triumph by a singer-songwriter who American Songwriter has hailed as “crafting some of the most beautiful, compelling Americana today.”

Title track ‘Outsider’ is a strong, sassy number, a perfectly-formed country-pop tune, coupled with great song-writing as she sings, “I’m always on the outside, of the in-crowd…I’m never on the inside, with the hip crowd…I’m an outsider.”

Bristow, however, is very much a hip insider when it comes to expressing her brand of Country Soul Americana, and her beautiful new album wonderfully underscores her musical depth and commitment to conveying her deeply felt songs.

Jackie Bristow – ‘Outsider’ Album Release Tour. 4.30pm, doors open 4pm. Early bird tickets $25 www. undertheradar.co.nz, door sales $30.

“Each is a stand-alone jewel and the entire album is an adventure into the heart of a legendary talent. Could be an Album of the Year.” – IndiePulse Music Magazine “Subtle power, sensitive soul, sultry sound, sensational singing.” – Muzic.net.

Everything Changes in life and art

By Janine Jackson

E

verything Changes! is the upcoming exhibition featuring en plein air (outdoor painting) works by Shifra Gassner.

The paintings were created by Shifra over a year of setting up outside and observing the land and sea-scapes of Raglan.

“I started making up landscapes from my head. Then I copied masters from books. By the time summer came, it became clear the virus (Covid) was not transferred easily outdoors.

Being outside became the safe place to be. My son fished while I painted. It was the perfect duet.”

Some of the changes in Shifra’s life were momentous; a visit to Raglan from the United States for her son to spend time with his father was extended due to Covid.

“We came to New Zealand to experience the world without Covid, but of course that all changed. I continued to paint every day outside.

I learned how to paint in the rain, wind, in intense sun, near cows, with insects, and curious dogs.”

Before coming to New Zealand, Shifra had been teaching in Iowa and in March 2022 when spring break started school just never went back.

“I taught science by way of crafts in a children’s museum, in afterschool and holiday programmes. My closets were full of art materials. With everything changing now, this became the moment to make art. To just do it.”

“When I paint a scene, I try to represent the one thing that attracted me to the scene truthfully.

I wait for the light to change throughout the day, the tides to change detectably every three hours, the color to change in each season. Once I’ve captured the wonders and composition, I complete my work indoors.”

Shifra says the beauty of nature transcended the stress that change can bring, and painting became a form of release and activism.

“It has been a beautiful experience to have been outside painting every day in Raglan.

Being outside still feels protected from Covid.

Being outside in awe of nature motivates me to fight for the Earth. At some point the global crisis will change from Covid to Climate Crisis.

As I closely observe, the contours of the hill, the angle of the limestone outcroppings, the shadow between the rocks that the receding tide has revealed, the shape of tree clusters, I know the impacts of climate change are about to change the landscape. Landscaping painting is my activism. It is a way to peacefully be with nature and enjoy being alive on planet Earth."

Wharf Project Construction Expected to Begin Later This Year This content was provided thanks to Raglan Community Radio - visit raglanradio.com or 98.1FM for local news and music.

I

n 2019, Waikato District Council and the Raglan Community Board received funding from the Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) for the redevelopment of the Whāingaroa wharf and wider harbour. With some of the projects ready to go, the tender for the walkway, pontoon and structural repair are expected to be awarded in late June or early July this year.

Funding has come from the Ministry of Business and Innovation and has been allocated to four projects currently underway to transform the wharf and wider harbour now and for the future.

These projects include: The Whāingaroa Wharf Walkways project; the Pontoon Design and Build, the Whāingaroa Wharf Structural Repair project and the Whāingaroa Harbour Strategy.

Raglan Community Board Deputy Chair Dennis Amoore who has been involved with the wharf project says, “Longterm thinking” is required to ensure that community needs are represented in the process.

The tender for the construction of the three projects has been grouped to include the three construction projects; the walkway, pontoon and structural repair.

“The tender has been grouped as we found a lot of synergies between the three projects. The tender process is due to close in May,” said Dennis.

Once the tender has been awarded to a contractor, he expects that work on the structural repairs can begin around July while the pontoon and walkway will be subject to a consent process.

“The tender will be awarded based on the affordability of the project. We’ve already had a few surprises come up,” said Dennis.

He refers to some of the geological inspections for the walkway project that uncovered soil that was softer than expected. These surprises will ultimately impact the project by adding unexpected costs.

“If the projects are over budget we can look at a value engineering process to see where we can save money, and use of materials or think about how to scale back,” says Dennis.

The feedback process for the walkway design was completed in 2021 with the majority of submitters choosing Option One. This option features tidal stairs that are located closer to the wharf which will provide longer access to the water at all tides.

Whaingaroa Harbour Study Initial discussions for the Whāingaroa Harbour Study has involved speaking to iwi partners, stakeholders and the wider

community about what is important to them for the future of the harbour.

The strategy aims to consider things like moving people and goods around the harbour; what infrastructure may be needed; walkways and cycleways to get people to and from the harbour and between jetties as well as recreational activities that could take place in the harbour.

Dennis says the draft report for the Whāingaroa Harbour Strategy should be available in late April where it will go back to stakeholders and the community for an opportunity to provide feedback.

Congestion at the boat ramp has also been a contentious issue for some time with many recreational fishermen using

the space along with local businesses and community members.

With fishing being described as “brilliant” in Whāingaroa over the past few years, there has been suggestions of implementing a boat ramp fee and this will be looked at in an upcoming by-law review although Dennis is skeptical whether this will impact the number of people using the boat ramp.

“There are some options but they will be quite hard to achieve,” said Dennis referring to potential parking spaces to accommodate the overflow vehicles.

“Reducing congestion around the wharf means that we have to look at parking. We have to look at the big picture and make some hard decisions - do we reclaim land as one example”

Representation review finalised ahead of 2022 elections ard name changes and boundary W shifts are among changes to Waikato District Council’s Proposed Representation Review following a determination made by the Local Government Commission (LGC) in early April.

Eight appeals and objections were heard by the LGC and Council earlier this year and the changes from Council’s final proposal are: • The names of the district’s two Māori wards have been changed to Tai Raro Takiwaa Maaori Ward and Tai Runga Takiwaa Maaori Ward. This was part of Te Whakakitenga o Waikato’s appeal, supported by Council.

• The boundary between the Tuakau-Pōkeno and the Awaroa-Maramarua General Wards has been moved to include the Mercer airfield in the Tuakau-Pōkeno General Ward

• The Raglan Community Board area has been extended and the Raglan community will not be subdivided into a rural/urban split • The name of the Waerenga-Hukanui General Ward has been changed to the WaerengaWhitikahu General Ward The LGC also confirmed that 13 councillors and a Mayor elected at large provides effective representation of communities of interest and fair representation for electors in the Waikato District for the upcoming local body elections, to be held on 8 October 2022.

Additionally, the six community boards proposed in the Representation Review remain, but the Rural-Port Waikato Community Board elected officials will be split by a north-south divide.

A breakdown of Waikato District Council’s new ward and community board structure can be found on the Council website

He goes around New Zealand teaching kids about depression and telling them his story. He taught us how to deal with depression and some of the things that happen when you get it.

Even though it was a rainy day the surf was brilliant for all the new surfers. Some of our class have surfed before so they

got to have a real surf board and the new surfers had their lesson with the covered foam boards. These are much easier to start with. Lots of people managed to stand up during their lesson and we also learnt about surf safety which is also really important as it keeps us surf beach aware.

TE UKU SCHOOL NEWS Welcome Te Uku School - SteveContinue Horne Te UkutoSeniors Adventures

L

et us introduce to you our very own taonga - Matua Steve.

Matua Steve is our Deputy Principal Release Teacher. Matua Steve also does reliever work at Te Uku and pretty much says when asked - “yes I can cover that teacher to day, no problem”.

He came along to Te Uku School to pick up some part time reliever work - maybe one day a fortnight if needed - while he learnt how to retire this year. He now teaches two to four days a week at Te Uku School since the start of this term, mainly with the year 7 & 8 students.

Matua Steve is full of stories, rich with experience and we truly believe we are the luckiest students. He has just finished teaching at Hamilton Boys High School for the last nine years in Mathematics and Social Sciences. Prior to Boys High, Matua Steve was the Deputy Principal at Silverdale Normal School for many years and the Principal at Gordonton School.

You may have recognised the name Steve Horne, maybe you have picked up his book called ‘The Trouble with Twins’.

Believe it or not, back in his prime years he actually played rugby, and was a great winger (he loves to make jokes about how very Friday, if it’s not pouring with rain, now he looks like a prop). Matua Steve adores sharing his stories the Junior Discovery goes down to the with his students. And we are lucky enough to be listening to the Horse Paddock.

Thisnot is our school native bush adventures of Matua Steve. He's just an ordinary teacher.

He has been to Darwin in Australia teaching with his family. He also has helped out by bringing clothes, food and education to Ghana and the Cape in South Africa. He loves to make “hilarious” Dad jokes. He even jokes about himself; he describes himself as a “scorched almond”. A lot of the students would agree he's fair, reasonable and a great storyteller.

Here are some burning questions from the students:
