ordon Jowsey and Tom Wilson, great golfing mates, were out to shoot each other down in the recent Myrle Robertson Memorial Annual Golf Shoot Out competition, held at the Raglan Golf Club.

“Gordon was too good on the day, quipped Tom, “and deserved to win.”

With a field of fifteen, reduced to just two as holes were played, it was left to Gordon and Tom to hit for the coveted trophy. Both golfers took aim, fired for the pin and awaited the outcome.

Played annually in memory of Myrle Robertson, a club stalwart and club patron, this event is keenly contested amongst Raglan Golf Club members.

“I rode my luck a few times but in the end I shot a better round.” Remarked Gordon.

A message from the Raglan Police

n the last two weeks Raglan Police have reported 4 family harm incidents and 9 dishonesty related offences. On the 25th at about 11:30 pm a serious crash occurred on Bow Street in Raglan where four people were injured. The driver has been charged and will appear in court soon facing a raft of charges. On the 4th / 5th of April, young offenders have come into Raglan in the early hours of the morning and they have caused havoc, breaking into the Four Square, stealing a car, and breaking into at least three other cars. This is still under investigation and Police are hopefully to resolve this

case. To assist us and to prevent further victims - if you hear a car alarm go off, or see or hear something suspicious, please ring Police on 111 immediately. Finally, just a reminder how awesome of a community we live in. The Raglan Top Garage helped a victim of family violence, your support for this victim at a time in need is invaluable. Constantly we have found property being handed in and returned to owners, that is amazing and of note a significant sum of money was handed into the Police station, you know who you are, awesome stuff! Have a great week and remember to look out for one another! Senior Constable, Andrew Murphy and the Raglan Team

Walkers, dog owners on the outer in airfield safety plans The exact wording of the CAA warning isn’t detailed but clearly it’s been sufficient to spook Waikato District Council staff into engaging an aviation consultant to inspect and “audit” the Raglan airfield. Council open spaces team leader Duncan MacDougall acknowledged the ensuing safety proposals were “likely to be unpopular” but said the council must comply with the 1990 Civil Aviation Act and the 2015 Safety at Works Act.

No-go zone?: A dog walker negotiates one of the two sets of gates that access Raglan airfield. If Waikato District Council has its way, this entry point will become for plane users only.

he writing looks to be on the wall – or in a bureaucratic three-page report, to be specific – for all those Raglan walkers and dog owners who cross the local airfield each day. And though the Raglan Community Board’s been put on a short leash of three months to come up with some sort of compromise, Waikato District Council’s intention is clear: it wants people and their pooches gone for good from what has effectively become a popular recreational area for locals. No wall as such is envisaged in the council’s plan to prohibit the general public. Instead it intends to extend the existing 1.2 metre tall stock fence along the beach-side boundary of the airfield and to remove pedestrian access gates – effectively sealing off the facility to ratepayers and residents who directly or indirectly help fund its upkeep. It also plans signage along the lines of “Operational area: all unauthorised access prohibited”.

Raglan Holiday Park Papahua along behind the row of trees that typically shelter any parked planes then out onto the beach well west of the wartime concrete bunker. Raglan West residents would be in for a circuitous walk to get to the beach that way. At the same time, the current airfield access point near the holiday park entrance would be kept for access to and from planes only. As one member of the public cynically observed at last week’s meeting, Raglan is running out of recreational space already yet “Aucklanders are flying in for a latte”. The council proposals – which sparked a spirited debate at last week’s community board meeting and then a furore on social media – have come out of a fatal mid-air accident near Hood aerodrome in Masterton back in June 2019. The pilots of the two light aircraft involved both died but there was no wider public risk or involvement in

The report talks of retaining access to the beach beyond the airfield by providing a perimeter trail around the airfield.

However an accompanying map appears to show that pedestrian access could be restricted to a short track running from somewhere near the main entrance to

There is mention however in the council report to the Raglan Community Board of issuing a notice to all aerodromes about the need for safety and complying with relevant legislation.

“Health and safety is really important to the (council’s) executive leadership team. We have to, as far as reasonably practicable, stop people from crossing the airfield,” he added. Another senior council staffer at the community board meeting went so far as to talk of being liable to imprisonment if she did not make all efforts to comply with the legislation. Community board member Chris Rayner, who helped reshape the recommendations back to council, posted on Raglan Notice Board later that “they give us three months to educate the wider community who have been crossing the airstrip for years that we all now need to walk around the landing area and should no longer walk across the middle of the runway”.

He added, optimistically: “I hope we can together achieve a balance between plane and pedestrian users without the need for more fences and removing public access away from what has been a wellfunctioning space for many years.” The community board has also recommended to the infrastructure committee that further investigation is undertaken into the council’s legal obligations to own and operate the airfield. The council warns that if the community wishes to disestablish the airfield, it will be a long term process that could take years. This, it adds, is because of the “complicated way” the land was acquired (it was taken from local Maori under the Public Works Act for a wartime airstrip). AT

Organics Yard operator Darren Brierly, Leanne Steel and Liz Stanway are on the warpath to rid the township of weeds.

ew initiative Whaingaroa Weedbusters is declaring a war on weeds in an effort to regenerate green spaces with native flora. Greenslade Road Weedbusters co-founder Leanne Steel and Xtreme Zero Waste Organics Yard team lead Liz Stanway launched the initiative at the recent Maui Dolphin Day enlisting neighbourhoods who want to get on top of their noxious weeds. “There has been a lot of interest from the community in support of a weed-free Whaingaroa and lots of people marked their weedy properties on our Raglan township map,” Leanne says. Funding from the Waikato Regional Council will make it possible for the group to run a Whaingaroa Weed Blitz and provide miniskips over weekends through late April, May and June for noxious weed collection around Raglan township. The township will be the focus for the group this year, including problem areas around Greenslade Rd, Kaitoke Walkway, Norrie Ave, Lily St and Rose St, and have their sights set on some common Raglan pests Woolly Nightshade, Wild Ginger, Wandering Willy, Climbing Asparagus, Chinese Privet, and Periwinkle. They are looking for property owners or groups of property owners who want to get rid of noxious plants that threaten our natural areas . “We’re calling on residents, or even better groups of residents, to sign up to this great opportunity so we can make sure everyone who is keen gets a chance to use this service and XZW can cope with the incoming weeds,” Liz says. Even better still, people who sign up will get a free property check from an ecologist who will give advice

on how to take out the weeds, what to put there instead and how to stop the nasties re-establishing. “There are lots of remnant natural habitats in Raglan township tucked away in gullies or on the coast which are a mix of private and reserve land but they have often been taken over by aggressive weeds that stop the native trees from growing and regenerating.,” Liz says. With a view to develop a long-term strategic approach, key players Waikato District and Waikato Regional Council alongside local groups Whaingaroa Environment Centre, Greenslade Weedbusters, Karioi Maunga Project, Xtreme Zero Waste and passionate locals Ross Henderson and Moira Cursey have been working behind the scenes since the beginning of 2020. Liz says the COVID lockdown saw an increase in locals getting out in the garden to get rid of the weeds and restore the native flora and fauna, but struggled with the challenge of how to safely dispose of the weeds. “Fortunately, over the last two years Xtreme Zero Waste has discovered that their hot foodwaste composting system easily destroys almost all noxious plants, even those in seed.,” Liz says. The group are determined to establish long term learning opportunities so everyone can recognise the noxious plants and get rid of them when they are small and easy to tackle. “We need more native trees planted instead of the weeds to help bring back our native birds and other fauna in town and compliment the great work Karioi Maunga project is doing with backyard predator and pest trapping,” Leanne says.

TE UKU SCHOOL NEWS Friday Fun Our Skate Park in the Horse Paddock

Te Uku Seniors Sista Smash CricketAdventures Continue area. It is called the Horse Paddock because years ago it used to be where children who rode horses to school tied them up for the day.

n Thursday 5th March, we were invited to the first ever cricket event called Sista Smash! Sista Smash is a day out playing cricket and having the most fun you possibly can. Te Uku School made up two teams, all of us girls, with little or no cricket experience. All of us were pumped to be part of the Te Uku School cricket team. We had some experience working with a coach from Northern Districts Cricket who came to school prior to the event to teach us skills and games - then our day had come.

We very arrived at the famous Seddon Park inwith Hamilton.

We were then laden with gifts. Our packs had chocolates, a bright green cricket bucket hat, an explanation booklet all about cricket and many more interesting little trinkets that were cricket related. There were a variety of gazebos with things such as temporary tattoos, food and a competition to win a red cricket ball. Also on display was the famous Women’s World Cup. It was super shiny.

e Uku School senior students have planned an adventurous year of epic outdoor experiences from whitewater rafting, to skiing and surfing. Last Friday, we ventured into the ancient Te Pahu caves.

This is our time to play, explore, try new things and challenge ourselves in nature. There is a stream running through it that some of the kids like to clean out and play with the sticks. This can get very muddy. Others learn how to look after nature by picking up any rubbish that they find there. We say it’s good to learn about nature by playing!
