Experts say there are a number of ethical questions to consider regarding vaccine mandates.

Facilities ie. Libraries Dear Council Members,

I wanted to share my submission with you to enable you to use logic, facts and world leading advice when setting local policy. No mandates should be used in council public managed places, and I also challenge the council to remove mandates for their own council staff. Why: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/07/who-onvaccine-mandates-they-should-be-a-last-resort.html The World Health Organisation WHO has cautioned governments using mandates. They should be “an absolute last resort,” they should only be used when all other options have been exhausted to improve vaccination rates, they are not fit for all cultures and communities and only applicable when all other feasible options to improve vaccination uptake have been exhausted.

Community Christmas Picnic A huge thank you to Colin Chung and his team of enthusiatic helpers who put on a sumptuous Christmas luncheon, and supplied us with lovely music on the lawns at the Raglan Congregational Church. They went to so much effort, and I'm sure they were disappointed, having spent hours preparing in order that no one would feel alone or isolated on Christmas Day, that more Raglanites did not take advantage of their wonderful offer. I understand they had prepared enough food for three times the number who came. Santa had wrapped presents for the children too! And he managed to stay in his hot Santa suit throughout! Good on you Santa – you'll be glad to be back at the North Pole! A suggestion for future years could be to require an RSVP beforehand. God bless you Colin and team for all that you did. It was much appreciated. Julia Brown

‘Mind-traveller’ creator off on own real-life adventures far, far away EDITH SYMES

for friendlyand professional for friendly proﬀesionaladvice advice email office@webbgould.co.nz

Raglan (above) as well as Cape Reinga (top right) and Mt Cook (bottom right) by Astrid Conjaerts Schepel from the mind traveller book

ocal artist cum children’s author Astrid Conjaerts Schepel may have spent the past year writing about a fictional mind traveller’s Kiwi exploits but now she and her family are about to set forth on an adventure of their own, half a world away in the arctic area of Norway.

So while she’s looking forward to the publication late this month of ‘The MindTraveller New Zealand’ – a children’s story which follows the central figure Jae around the country in his boat-bed – she also relishes the prospect of new challenges in a colder climate. That despite the fact she’s loved walking the beach every day with her dog, and rates the orcas coming into the harbour among the best of her memories from 10 years living in Raglan. Astrid has turned moments like these into features of her second mind-traveller book, which sees the main character of the series now learning about the Kiwi way of life – and about himself – while venturing in his dreams from north to south and back again. Her daughter Najade – who is also artistic – has in turn come up with some very familiar Kiwi landmarks to illustrate Jae’s journey, including Manu Bay where orcas and surfers ride the waves “in one of

the longest left-hand breaks known around the world”. Hobbiton also is instantly recognisable as Jae ventures into “the fantasy world of Middle Earth”, as is the South Island’s Aoraki/Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest mountain. The author has Jae and his new-found friend Maui travelling the country Kiwistyle, first in an old surf van with surfboards strapped on the roof. Then they take a Northern Explorer train down through the North Island, the Interislander ferry across Cook Strait, a bus to the mountains and glaciers in the South Island, a boat to Stewart Island and finally a flight from Christchurch back to Auckland courtesy of Air New Zealand. In all, an “epic” Kiwi adventure dreamt by Jae from the comfort of his boat-bed. Astrid told the Chronicle she included the Kiwirail, bus and Air New Zealand logos for authenticity after getting permission to use them in her picture book. “Now they all want to see the book,” she laughed. She also added in the foreword – “for all the mind-travellers in the world” – a descriptive quote of Aotearoa by Kiwi musician Tim Finn; and an epilogue from the winning song ‘Aroha I Aotearoa’ in the Hook, Line and Sing-a-long 2021 music competition. Publication of ‘The Mind-Traveller New Zealand’ signifies for Astrid the wrappingup of her own Kiwi adventures – she’s experienced most of Jae’s destinations for

herself – and the start of a new chapter of her life south of Bodø, which is in Norway near the Arctic Circle. No prizes for guessing where in the world the next book in this children’s series is likely to be set. Originally from the Netherlands, Astrid says she doesn’t need to live in her country of birth, which is small and too crowded now for her liking. “I love space and nature,” she admits. Astrid, her doctor husband Jan and their four children lived in Norway – though farther south – before coming to New Zealand in 2011. She and Jan will depart with youngest daughter Isabeau just as soon as the family dog is booked on a flight, but son Yme will stay on for a year while he completes a degree at Waikato University. Oldest son Halcyon is already living in Norway and his sister Najade, who has illustrated both books so far, is a veterinary student in the Netherlands. Three of the four siblings have been students at Raglan Area School – Halcyon was past school age by the time the family arrived in the country. Astrid received the proofs of ‘The MindTraveller New Zealand’ early this week. She’s using the same Nelson printing company as with her first book, ‘The MindTraveller Cambodia’, and says there’ll again be both hard and softcover versions. “We like to keep it local,” she insists.

Billy chases ninth title at Community Nationals to break own record A spicy tip to save Surfing New Zealand

the planet from the Growers Market BY KATIE LOWES

Billy Stairmand will look to break his own record of eight national titles at Westport next week. Image courtesy of Cory / NZ Surfing Magazine.

wo of New Zealand’s most celebrated surfers head to the 2022 National Surfing Championships targeting two distinctly different goals this year. Raglan’s Billy Stairmand goes on the hunt to break his own record of eight titles. On the flipside, New Zealand’s most successful surfer, Taranaki’s Paige Hareb, a seven-time World Tour veteran, goes on the hunt for her first. The 59th edition of the New Zealand National Surfing Championships will be staged at Westport from the 11th – 15th January, only the second time the event has been held on the West Coast of the South Island. Both Stairmand and Hareb are gearing up for the World Surf League Regional Qualifying Series which commences in Australia early February. The National Championships has been a mainstay in Stairmand’s preparation for international events while Hareb has often been unable to compete due to international commitments, limiting her chances to snare a title. Entries into the event have exceeded 300 with less than a week to go until the event commences.

The two star-powered surfers will be up against some of the strongest domestic talent who are eager to put their name on the most prestigious surfing trophies in New Zealand. Stairmand will fend off the likes of Taranaki’s Daniel Farr who has finalled at the event before but is yet to break through for a win, such has been Stairmand’s recent dominance of the event which dates back to his first win in 2010. Since 2010, only three other surfers have taken a title – Jay Quinn (2011 and 2013), Ricardo Christie (2018) and Elliot Paerata – Reid (2020). “The Nationals is the type of event where we wouldn’t be surprised if a number of participants from 1997 make their way back to Westport with fond memories and take part, most likely in the senior divisions now” commented Surfing New Zealand’s Ben Kennings. “Not only will they compete, but they will bring their family and children who will carry on the summer tradition” he added. Gisborne Boardriders will defend the club title which will be hotly contested by several leading clubs from Raglan, Auckland, Mount Maunganui, Christchurch, Dunedin and the hometown Buller Boardriders. Also up for grabs at the Championships is the Peter Byers Overall Performance of the Event Award.

The orchard is very attractive with an array of fruit producing trees including a large avocado. Two homes present so many options to buyers as well as the potential for rental income.
