Nick Leigh using design thinking to repurpose farm equipment into medical equipment during the Covid-19 pandemic.

aglan man Nick Leigh is one of the design brains behind a project repurposing farming equipment into medical equipment used in the fight against Covid-19. An industrial designer, Nick and plastics engineer Jeff Sharp have been hard at work designing and producing emergency ventilators using circuit boards from automated milking equipment. Working from his Raglan home, Nick has worked on fine-tuning the componentry and moulds to create the portable ventilators at a fraction of the cost of a hospital ventilator. “The ones they have at hospital are $100,000 each and this is going to be about $8000, so you can have ten sitting in the cupboard for the price of one, just in case (of emergencies like Covid-19).”

Jeff is the owner of plastics engineering firm ES Plastics and he stumbled upon the problem while chatting to his neighbours, both senior doctors at Waikato Hospital, about New Zealand’s response to the pandemic. Around the world evidence of hospitals collapsing under the onslaught of Covid patients and the lack of ventilators to keep up with the demand was of prime concern to the men. Thankfully this turned out not to be the case in New Zealand but their work has not been in vain as some of the ventilators are heading to Africa and they’ve had interest from South America and Asia. The ventilators were designed with pandemic and disaster relief in mind, they are portable and can be used in makeshift hospitals. Around 100 of the ventilators can be produced daily and they are also looking at

selling ventilator kits into some countries that have some of the components readily available. The project has recently received funding from the government’s Covid-19 Innovation Acceleration Fund, with the Minister of Research, Science and Innovation Megan Woods saying the project would open up export opportunities as well as having the potential to benefit our Pacific neighbours. “It’s really nice to be involved in something that has a real world, immediate application.” Nick has been able to enlist other locals to help on the project using a Raglan-based graphic designer and another helping out with French translation.

Relief but also worries as Raglan eateries re-open

Lisa & Kaleb James get ready to re-open Orca

aglan restaurant and cafe operators were expressing a collective sigh of relief early this week as they prepared to re-open their doors to diners after a devastating six-week shutdown because of the Covid-19 crisis. But there was apprehension too over the cost of the rules that eateries must adhere to under alert level 2 – which comes into effect today, Thursday – and over whether they can get an extension of Government subsidies for staff wages. A typical reaction was that of Lisa James of Orca Eatery & Bar, which employs 25-odd part and fulltime staff. “We are very grateful we will be able to operate and get back to some sense of normality,” she told the Chronicle. “But it’s going to be a challenging time.” While the 12-week Government wages subsidy had been a “lifesaver”, she hoped Hospitality NZ would be successful in campaigning to have it extended beyond its scheduled end in June. Like all eateries, Orca would face added costs in adhering to the Government’s three S’s rule which meant that to minimise contact patrons must be seated at appropriately separated tables, each table must have a single server and no counter service was to be available. “Under these new rules we can also only have capacity for 100 people including staff, so we will remove several tables to allow distance between groups,” she added. Lisa – who owns Orca jointly with husband Kaleb and three business partners – said they were confident they could keep their team and their customers safe. Though Orca had missed out on both endof-summer and Easter trading, the lockdown had been “a good time to assess the business

and processes, and get around to all those little things you never seem to do in a busy week”. Rock-it Kitchen owner Sarah Kay has also put her time from the enforced closure to good use, undertaking a major springclean and paint job on the one-time woolshed turned rustic cafe. She was hoping to be open by the weekend and back to some degree of normality. “Our staff are ready to go,” she said. Sarah – who agreed the wage subsidy was “an absolute godsend” – was working this week on ways of spacing tables so as to conform to the new social distancing requirements. However she pointed out that Rock-it did have the advantage of a large covered deck to accommodate plenty of al fresco dining. Sarah added diners would need to have a lot of patience with only the one server per table requirement, which meant the same person would be doing everything from bringing drinks to organising the bill. “It will be interesting to see how it goes,” she said. The Shack’s Justin Thomson was also this week working on some physical distancing systems, with fewer tables that were well spaced and gave more room for staff to move around. He said all customers would need to be seated, and would be greeted at the door to avoid queuing. “We will get their details for our contact tracing register and direct them to a table.” Staff would also do takeaway coffee, cake and meal orders from the corner cafe’s window on Wainui Rd so customers didn’t necessarily have to dine in, he added. Frequent handwashing, cleaning and sanitising of hard surfaces in line with Covid-19 foodservice standards was – as

Isobar had just one door open for takeaways on Sunday but that was set to change this week with the level 2 relaxations.

with all cafes – the new way, Justin stressed, and at this stage cash payments would not be accepted. The Wharf Kitchen and Bar owner Helen Rowling was also “ready to go” this week and said there was plenty of room to rejig tables for more distanced seating. But the lockdown had been a tough time, she said, causing a huge loss of custom during a perfect Indian summer. Despite the imminent return of customers, she feared that in two or three months she’d have to make a decision on whether the doors remained open. She admitted that re-opening was an anxious time with loss of business stability and confidence. Isobar owner Matt Taggart – who during alert level 3 has been offering contactless takeaways – was looking forward to reinstating today his “Thirsty Thursday” dining experience, including live music. He said the shutdown has been “a disaster”, especially as he’d undertaken a costly fit-out on buying the business and had only got it off the ground again in mid December. He and his staff were “doing our best” operating under Government restrictions but in reality hospitality was not viable without the support of the Covid-19 wage subsidy. Meantime Dean Teddy from the popular George’s Beach Club has confirmed he won’t be re-opening at alert level 2 as it’s not viable with the social spacing requirements. Indoors – where everyone wanted to be in winter – the cafe had only very limited seating and each table would need a separate server. *ULO’s Kitchen in Wallis St and Kochi, the Indian restaurant further up Bow St, could not be contacted by the Chronicle for comment. Edith Symes

Hotel takes a waitand-see approach to re-opening

aglan’s iconic Harbour View Hotel was looking unlikely this week to re-open any time soon. The pub’s proprietors, Jeff and Kerry Holloway, acknowledged in an email circulating early this week that hospitality “has been hit very hard” by the lockdown – and said they’d opted not to re-open at this stage because it made them nervous. “However carefully we prepare for the stringent conditions, we feel we cannot offer a completely safe environment. “And whilst we have the small luxury of the Government enabling us to keep our 30 staff on the payroll, after much thought and deliberation we have decided to have a waitand-see approach at level 2.” They would reopen only when they felt confident that all the strongest guidelines could be followed.

Essential worker and volunteer gift pack giveaway T he Chronicle received many nominations for the essential worker/ volunteer gift packs.

So many people in the community have donated their time to people in need and have gone the extra mile in their various essential service roles through an incredibly difficult time. It was heartwarming to read these stories. A huge thank you to those who took the time to write to us or call us.We decided as a team of business owners to divide the giftpacks so there was an opportunity to show gratitude to more people. So a special shout out to the following people who were nominated. Freephone 0800 800 405 has recently been set up by Waikato Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group for anyone in our district struggling to get food, groceries, medication or other household goods and services. The service is available between 7am and 7pm daily, but does not replace other gov-

Margaret Dillion, Fiona Cutmore, Marion Wright, Robyn Shergold, Nenya Chapman, Niki Maniapoto, Tracy Hesketh, Raewyn Stevenson, Sasha Kirkwood, Emily Savage and Hilary Eliot. We will contact the individuals nominated and distribute the gifts. Please know it was very difficult to decide the allocation given that there were so many deserving people and no doubt many more in the community who we do not know about. Special thanks to Haven Massage, Tonic Hairdressing, The Round Tent, Rockit Kitchen, Good Noze Petfood and The Monster Company. Raglan Chronicle
