Waikato Police make arrest following homicide investigation

n Friday last week, it was reported that Waikato Police were investigating the death of a 33-year-old Australian tourist following a serious incident in Raglan. On Saturday, August 16, a 23-year-old man from Te Aroha was arrested in relation to the death. At 3.20am on Friday, August 15, Police were notified of an incident earlier in the morning on Whaanga Road, Raglan where a male offender has approached a van that was parked in the Te Toto Gorge track carpark. Two occupants, a man and a woman, were inside the campervan at the time and the male offender has fired a number of shots into the vehicle, injuring the man. The female victim has managed to escape from the van and flee the scene. The offender has stolen the vehicle, and driven off with the injured man inside.

The woman, who fortunately was not injured in the incident, reached a nearby address and notified Police. At approximately 8am on Friday, the vehicle was located on Puke Road near the intersection of Gordonton Road, Gordonton. Sadly the body of the male victim was located inside the vehicle. "The 23-year-old Te Aroha man has been charged with a number of serious offences including Murder, Aggravated Robbery and Threatens to Kill and has appeared in the Hamilton District Court on the morning of Saturday, August 16." Said Detective Inspector Graham Pitkethley, Waikato District Crime Manager.

Te Kura-a-rohe o Whaingaroa Junior Kapa Haka performing in Taumaranui.

e Kura-ā-rohe o Whaingaroa Junior Kapa Haka took out top honours in the junior section at the Central North Island Mana Ariki Kapa Haka competition in Taumarunui. Led by Tawera Gray-Lord, 9, and Moana Ruawai Hira, 10, it’s the first time the group of 35 students - aged from 7-11-years old - have come under the spotlight in a competitive event. Kaiako Chanel Ruawai says the young performers spent the first two terms of the year preparing for the competition, which included noho (overnight weekend practices), day practices and dedicated time during the school holidays. “This kapa haka journey that we’ve been on this year has provided not only our tamariki but all those involved with a sense of belonging,” she says. Stunning kākahu (performance costume) were purchased by Raglan Area School and worn for the first time at Mana Ariki.

“The whānau as a whole collective have contributed to the success of our tamariki, from fundraising to sewing, to weaving, to poi and rākau making, cooking and of course, looking after all our tamariki at the marae as if they were your own.” Kapa haka has grown in popularity since the early 1970s with the advent of premier Māori performing arts competitions such as Matatini and Mana Ariki, and Chanel says it is a great platform for tamariki to feel confident and proud of knowing who they are and where they come from. “They have a growing a sense of pride in themselves which is evident in their performance when you see them on stage thriving and confident,” she says. Performers Nikau Rice-Edwards, Wai Ariki Tepania, Te Arahia Hira, Ngawai Rice-Edwards and Moana Ruawai Hira were surprised and thrilled with their win. "I’m happy because all our hard work paid off,” Nikau says. "I didn't expect to win cos Mana Ariki was our first comp and the fact we won was

pretty amazing, but mostly it was fun," Wai Ariki says. "I loved performing and I can't wait to do it again,” Te Arahia says. "It made me feel good and not shy,” Ngawai says. "It was hard because we had to practice all the time but it was worth it, our team is cool,” Moana says. Not only was there a strengthening of performance skills in the young entertainers but Chanel says whanaungatanga (sense of connection) has grown immensely through their shared experiences and learning to work together as a group. “I am just very grateful that the whānau support this kaupapa and I'm privileged that they let me be a part of their children’s journey in a kaupapa that I am passionate about,” Chanel says. The Mana Ariki Kapa Haka is a national event and is more than 30 years old. It celebrates unity and acknowledges the Māori prophetic movement.. Janine Jackson

Opinion: Raglan housing shortage

n order to run an effective business you need certain things; a service or product that there is a need for within a population that produces enough demand to make the business viable; an appropriate premises to run the business and most importantly of all – staff that are qualified and passionate to be part of the business. In Raglan we have several businesses’ operating and many of these provide essential services to the community of Raglan. The threat to these businesses is lack of staff and the lack of affordable rental accommodation is a huge contributor to the number of staff willing to join the Raglan community. Stendy Electrical has recently been advertising for rental accommodation for one of their electricians and his family. Raglan Rest Home and Hospital has had one extremely talented Healthcare Assistant who has been a local for many years have to move out of Raglan as no accommodation was available. It was heart breaking to see her struggle, the applications and the hope, dashed as the few houses that do come up for rent disappear almost before anyone knows they are available.

Raglan Rest Home and Hospital has been recruiting for Registered Nurses – there is an international shortage of Registered Nurses and at Middlemore Hospital they currently have in the region of 240 vacancies. Attracting Registered Nurses to view advertisements for Raglan is not hard and many make contact. Then they look at the advertised accommodation and withdraw their applications always stating the same reason – accommodation. Do a search yourself, you will be lucky to find one or two vacancies at the most. These examples are likely to be the tip of the iceberg – so what can we do? If we want to continue to have services and products offered locally then the community needs to reevaluate its affair with Air BnB. Doing a quick search identifies in excess of 288 properties on Air BnB in Raglan. The owners of these properties may need to re-evaluate their priorities – does Raglan want to be a tourist destination with a lot of tourists and seasonal shops servicing their needs with services having to be accessed from Hamilton at a higher cost or totally unavailable within the local community? Or can we turn some of these Air BnB properties back into rentals for families who want to make a real contribution to the infrastructure of Raglan? Now is the time to act before these services are a “thing of the past”. Anonymous

Waitetuna School's Stunning Performance of The Lorax

ast week, our local community experienced a spectacular night performance at the Te Uku Hall of The Lorax, adapted from the story by Dr Suess. The story is based on the theme of sustainability and looking after our world. The general response

from friends and family was “a spectacular event with top class performances from all the children”. The student’s morale was high with all credit to the teachers for providing such expert support during rehearsals, back stage and for final performances. Overall a great team effort and an extremely successful event. Waitetuna School All images thanks to Amy Hanna

Family Ties

An occasional column featuring local family relationships.

Proud mother and son teaching tots together

aglan Area School students are using filmmaking and humour to inspire safe choices on the road. It’s little surprise local lad Joel Goodison grew up to become a kindergarten teacher – one way or another he’d always spent much of his early life in Raglan pre-schools, from playing and learning at the local kindy to later helping out at his parents’ childcare centres. Throughout it all Joel’s remained “in touch with his own (inner) kid”, says his mum Merren, clearly proud to have one of her sons now teaching alongside her at Matapihi KIndergarten just off Te Mata Rd. Joel’s transition from learning to working in education began when Merren and hubby Mike took the gamble back in the 90s and set up their first early childcare centre in a former bakery in downtown Wallis Street. “The boys all used to help out there after school and do their various jobs,” Merren explains. Those “boys” – now 30-somethings – are the couple’s own three children of whom Joel is the youngest. Their “jobs” included not only entertaining their young charges but also helping clean up at the end of each teaching day. “They became very good at both,” Merren recalls. A full-on

Goodison family commitment went into running Raglan’s first early childcare and education centre. Fast forward to the family’s second venture, Matapihi – where pre-schoolers play and learn in an idyllic eight acres of native bush – and Joel’s still around. He’s now fully trained, having worked there three days a week while completing his three-year ECE teaching degree through Wintec. He’s also undertaken a fiveweek teacher exchange at a Perth area school. He reckons there were only three or four males among the 90 students in his Wintec intake, but adds “we’re now definitely seeing an increase in males in the early childhood sector”. Joel’s passionate about teaching and says that growing up in the childcare environment “laid the foundations for where I am today, in this community especially”. “I’m pretty into the cleaning too,” he laughs. Joel – who these days sports something of a hipster look – reckons the close working relationship he shares with his mother has always been fine for him and that she is his role model as a teacher. “But he does a much better job than I do,” Merren interjects. Joel points out the teaching team at Matapihi has been of

benefit to him too, with most of its current staff members – like coowner/manager Angela Kimber and teacher Lindy Moir – having been around from way back. Merren says they’ve all been “very supportive … full of enthusiasm” and that Joel has in turn become a valued member of the teaching team. “I love working with him, he does a fantastic job.” Meantime back at the Goodison home in Upper Wainui Rd Joel’s oldest brother Jed works alongside their father, a draughtsman, further extending the familial ties. Jed also studied at Wintec and is now a qualified architectural draughtsman. While Mike used to do all the work himself on a drawing board from his home office he wasn’t too keen to become computer savvy, Merren explains. So Jed has now taken over that side of things while Mike liaises and organises the jobs. “They’re both happy in their roles.” Joel and Jed meanwhile have a family tie all their own: the pair decided four years ago to beat the predicted rise in Raglan prices by buying a house to share. However they return to the nest for family occasions which can include grandparents living close by at the local resthome and also their brother Sean, a board game designer back from overseas. There are also those odd jobs around the family home that have

Dust down your words for National Poetry Day

Local author and Inkspillers founder member, Wanda Barker, reading her poetry at the Raglan Town Hall.

hantom Billstickers National Poetry Day 2019 will be celebrated this Friday 23 August, including two community events in Raglan.

National Poetry Day is an annual nationwide celebration of all things poetic. Coordinated by the New Zealand Book Awards Trust, the day is an eclectic mix of events, workshops and competitions, featuring acclaimed poets, new voices, young writers and poetry enthusiasts. From slam poetry to sonnets, stages to pavements, people will be creating and enjoying poetry in a myriad of venues around the country: cafes, bars, schools, university campuses, community centres, retirement villages, marae, libraries and theatres – even on trains! In Raglan, we are starting the celebrations early with a Youth Poetry and Spoken Word Slam at the Old School Arts Centre on the evening of Thursday 22 August. Anyone under 18 is welcome to come along and read their own, or another’s work, to an appreciative audience. The second event is at the Raglan Club on Friday 23 August, and again is open to all. Poetry, prose, song, rap, flash fiction, hip-hop and everything in between, this is

Community keen for action on climate crisis

ast Sunday over 70 people came together for the Climate Crisis: Time to Take Action workshop at Poihākena Marae. The workshop was spearheaded by passionate local and Raglan Ward Councillor, Lisa Thomson, with support from many other individuals and organisations. “This day is about community connecting, sharing korero, looking at what we are already doing and what more we can do to adapt to the climate crisis,” said Lisa. Speakers included inspiring climate students Timi Barbaras from Hamilton and Nikau Hansen from here in Raglan, who both urged adults to wake up and start taking serious action. Timi invited us all to join the Global Climate Strike on September 27 to send a message to our politicians that we take this issue seriously. “We need to look at the ways we use energy, water, agriculture and transport and make different choices.”Nikau added. Taruke Thomson provided a hapū perspective on the issue of climate change and warned us that we are entering an age of scarcity – that we need to stop the devastation and reconnect to what is important. Dallas Butler followed with an overview of Xtreme Zero Waste and the steps we all need to take to reduce our waste: refuse, reduce, reuse, repair/repurpose, recycle. We’re doing well in terms of diverting waste from landfill here in Raglan but Dallas encouraged us all to put some more thought into the waste we are creating through our shopping habits. After lunch Dr Mike Joy spoke about the biophysical limits to growth and the future of water and food. Dr Joy emphasised how everything around us is dependent on fossil fuel and that we need serious system changes to uncouple from this dependence – not only because of climate change but

because these fossil fuels are also running out. He highlighted how our agricultural system powered by fossil fuels (particularly in production of nitrogen fertilisers) has supported unsustainable population growth and contaminated our lands and waterways. He urged us to consider vegetarian diets which are more environmentally friendly than some standard meat-farming practices. The last speaker, Lauren McLean from Extinction Rebellion Kirikiriroa told us it’s important to pick your battles within the climate movement. Lauren emphasised the need for hope and connection and said that: “Building community is the key to resilience and adaptation. Kindness and resilience go hand in hand – connecting to each other will help our environment heal.” The day ended with the group reviewing some of the amazing initiatives happening in Whāingaroa already and discussing how we could build on these foundations to do more. There were some exciting suggestions for what we more we could be doing here in Whāingaroa with an over arching theme of building local connection, selfsustaining systems and resilience within our community and our environment. Finally the group declared a climate emergency via a resounding vote, this declaration will be presented to the Raglan Community Board and passed on to the Waikato District Council for their consideration. The Whāingaroa Environment Centre will be working with Raglan Naturally and any individuals keen to be involved to pull together a Community Climate Action Plan. We have an opportunity to build resilience, reduce our greenhouse gases and adapt for climate change if we act now – and we will all need to act in all sorts of ways. A Whāingaroa/Raglan Climate Action facebook group has been created to continue the momentum and conversations in this space – please join as we all work to adapt to the climate crisis together. Whaingaroa Environment Centre

an open mic night, where everyone can take to the stage to share their favourite words. Both events kick off at 7pm, and both are entry by koha. Register on the night by adding your name to the board. The events are being run by Inkspillers – a recently established writers and illustrators collective based out of Raglan. Inkspillers’ purpose fits well with National Poetry Day. We’re all about bringing words – in their many glorious forms – to the people, and bringing people together to enjoy the creativity of words. One of our motivations in establishing the collective was to raise the profile of words and books in our community. Raglan is a very creative place, but writers tend to be reclusive, and we felt people may be unaware of the

many wonderful works that are being written and published here. Our members include poets, novelists, memoirists, professional and inspirational writers, and children’s book writers and illustrators. In the past couple of months, we’ve had two book launches, with another couple on the horizon. One member has finished a novel, another is in the final stages of editing the final volume in a trilogy, and two books for children are on the boat from the printer in China, ready for release next month. Oh, and one of us has been shortlisted for a national prize. We hope you’ll join us for this years’ National Poetry Day celebrations.

Introducing Marcus Culley: Your Raglan Community Board Candidate

ia ora Raglan. I’m a fifth generation local on my mum’s side who was a Bates and can whakapapa back to the Billington’s. Schooled here, lived on Green Street and spent my pocket money at the Duck Inn. Army 13 years, various degrees, tours in Bosnia and Sierra Leone. Fifteen years in the UN headquartered in New York but based in country working for the Department of Safety and Security as a Country Advisor. Lagos Nigeria, Lokichoggio Kenya, Juba South Sudan, Dili Timor-Leste, Benghazi then Tripoli Libya, Manilla Phillipines and finally Mogadishu Somalia. Finished late 2016 at 48 after a wake up call earlier that year. Returned Wallis Street full-time beside the old dairy factory with my partner from Iraq. Spent time on a trawler working with some of Raglan’s characters then established a small business sustainably targeting flounder in Kawhia and Raglan harbours for the local market. Too busy on Wallis Street, cat being run over final straw prompting move to small bush block overlooking Takapanui near to original homestead – feels right. New place almost under control after renovation and upgrades to stormwater, waste water, more trees and less possums. Asparagus weed next. All twos - grown up children, grandchildren and marriages but never tried local government. Given experience in failed states thought I might be useful. No illusions what can be achieved but I respect people like Lisa Thompson, Bob McCleod and Gabrielle Parson keeping our council in check - but they need support.

Raglan is changing and many believe the town we knew as children is gone. This is true but I will do my best to be a voice in the supper room shaping common sense outcomes helping to save what is left that makes our town unique. Our more vulnerable community members need affordable access to the essentials. Fred has helped to sort runoff but we need more than just Maori land to stem the invasion of our harbour and coastline. I have opinions on many things. The absence of complete decentralized, community and land based waste water treatment systems here despite coastal settlements in East Africa having these thousands of years ago. Large scale property developments on the harbours edge marketed as being socially, culturally and ecologically friendly. The use of low flying rotary wing aircraft by property developers to visit these. Lack of access to affordable housing and BnB’s. Out-the-gate prices for groceries and fuel in Raglan. Chain stores. Red tape and compliance costs impacting normal people - small business owners - farmers and fisherman. Speed limits, traffic control and parking. Serious crime but especially sex offenders. Jetskis. And passing on Gillett’s Hill at 140 before stopping at Raglan Roast when commuting. More than happy to share more detail if asked but at the very least if elected I will be contactable, responsive and alongside – in the knowledge that any decision taken by council however small impacts someone or something.
