First Woman Mayor for Waikato District Council

Jacqui

Church is currently leading the mayoral race with 7201 votes ahead of Aksel Bech who is sitting on 6298 votes. While we wait on special votes to be counted, it may not be enough for Bech to close the 903 vote gap. Jacqui's win means she will be the first woman mayor for the Waikato District Council, which has three previous mayors, all of them being men from farming backgrounds.

Over on the Raglan Community Board, provisional results show five of the returning members voted in, including Satnam Bains (877 votes), Kiri Binnersley (865 votes), Dennis Amoore (819 votes), Tony Oosten (789 votes) and Chris Rayner (818 votes). Taking the lead and the sixth seat is new board member and long standing local, Ross Wallis, who leads the race with 915 votes. Lisa Thomson has been re-elected as Whaingaroa Ward Councillor.

In past elections, special votes have changed the makeup of the Raglan Community Board depending on how close the voting is but the gap between 6th and 7th place looks too big to close this time.

While Jacqui Church won the Tuakau-Pōkeno General Ward, her election to Mayor means that the next two highest polling candidates will win seats on the council. These two candidates are Vern Reeve with 1336 votes and Kandi Ngataki with 615 votes.

In the Awaroa-Maramarua ward, also with one vacancy, 65-yearold farmer Peter Thomson is leading ahead of incumbent Stephanie Henderson by 101 votes.

In Huntly ward, with one vacancy, the front-runner is permaculturist David Whyte leading ahead of the incumbent, Shelley Lynch, by 225 votes. In Newcastle-Ngāruawāhia (with two vacancies) the leaders are incumbents Janet Gibb and Eugene Patterson with significant margins ahead of the other candidates

In the Tai Raro Takiwā Māori Ward with one vacancy, the leader is Tutata Matatahi-Poutapu, while Tilly Turner leads in the Tai Runga Takiwā Māori ward.

In the two-vacancy Tamahere-Woodlands general ward the two frontrunners are Mike Keir and Crystal Beavis. With one vacancy in Waerenga-Whitikahu, Marlene Raumati is well ahead, Waikato Regional Council provisional Results: Hamilton Angela Strange (15,263), Bruce Clarkson (12,521), Jennifer Nickel (11,712) and Chris Hughes (11,527).

A message from Raglan Police

From Linda, Raewyn, and Andrew.

In

the last three and a half weeks in the Raglan area, we had 66 reported occurrences. Amongst those we reported six family harm incidents, nine traffic incidents, four excess breath alcohol, four burglaries, 14 dishonesty/theft incidents, three disorderly and two wilful damage incidents.

With nine traffic incidences, it is a timely reminder to be patient on our busy roads. This time of year, we see an increase in volume of slow-moving vehicles such as caravans and boat trailers.

Overtaking on corners can lead to devastating outcomes. If you are a slow driver, please be courteous and pull over to allow flow of traffic.

We recently caught four drink drivers in a very short amount of time from one of our check points in Raglan.

The impact of alcohol on driving:

Once absorbed into your bloodstream, alcohol enters your vital organs, including your brain. The result is slowed reactions along with dulled judgement and vision, all of which impair your ability to drive. Alcohol can also increase the risk of fatigue.

In 2020, alcohol was a factor in 90 deaths and 262 serious injuries.

“Drinking affects more than just you”.

Raglan is seeing a lot of boy racer activity. This kind of activity is not only illegal but also unsafe. We ask for people to be forthcoming with information and encourage any footage, vehicle registration numbers and person ID to be reported to us, so that we can follow up with seizing the vehicle and put the driver before the Courts.

World rallying comes to town for the day

Roads were closed, mud and stones flung into the air and people huddled in groups for safety from flying debris as Raglan experienced the full force of a one in 10-year event recently. And mostly, locals seem to have loved it.

The return to Raglan roads of the World Rally Championship may have inconvenienced some rural dwellers but it was a different story at the official spectator spots and especially downtown, where hundreds of locals and visiting rally fans were able between stages to get up close and almost personal with the cars and drivers.

Bow Street and a short stretch of Wainui Road were transformed for the day into a rally service park extraordinaire, with spectators grabbing a bite at stalls or eateries – or catching the live action on a giant screen directly in front of the Harbour View Hotel – as support crews milled

about in marked-out bays stacked with new Pirelli tyres.

The only real crushes appeared to be on the veranda bar and also outside the Raglan library, where people jostled good naturedly for a view or clear photo of the leading drivers as they parked up and emerged from rally cars showing the odd telltale scar of surviving the first pass of the famed Whaanga Coast stage.

International media honed in on Kalle Rovanpera – the 22-year-old Finn who went on to win the rally and to be crowned the WRC’s youngest ever world champion – and on his Toyota teammate and eight times world champ Sebastien Ogier, who ended up second to shut out Hyundai driver Ott Tanak.

There was a parochial cheer from locals and other Kiwis for New Zealand driver Hayden Paddon – who won the WRC2 category and also finished sixth overall –and special interest too in how homegrown racing driver Shane van Gisbergen would handle rallying ahead of competing in

the Bathurst endurance race. He didn’t disappoint, going on to nab third in the WRC2 category (and to win Bathurst).

This was the first time the international rally’s truly come to town as previously the Raglan airfield has been used as the service park.

The rally, branded this year as the Repco Rally New Zealand, was first included as a round of the WRC back in 1977. International rally drivers last competed here in 2012, when Citroen driver Sebastien Loeb notched up his third Rally New Zealand win.

Although Rally New Zealand has missed out on a 2023 WRC slot, there are hopes international rallying may return as early as 2024.

But it’s unlikely to be seen here again in successive years, as has been the case in the past, with WRC sources quoted as saying that “every two to three years is more practical in an extremely competitive environment (among countries wanting to host a WRC round)”.

Raglan Business Chamber

A message from the chamber

It was Mental Health Awareness Week from 27 September to 2 October. As employers we know that workplaces that prioritise mental health have better engagement, reduced absenteeism, and higher productivity, while people have improved well-being and greater morale.

While the pandemic and the subsequent ‘fall-out’ have affected us all differently I think we can all agree there is a heightened sense of stress and anxiety for many of us and our teams. There are some things workplaces can do to support our people to build resilience and have positive mental health so we can all cope with setbacks and take advantage of opportunities.

I personally found a lot of the information that came to our attention over the past week was very informative and helpful when it comes to managing our wellbeing and extending that to our workplaces. This information is directly from www.mentalhealth.org.nz.

The Five Ways to Wellbeing are – Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning, Give, and Take Notice.

They help people take care of their mental health and wellbeing. Regularly practising the Five Ways is beneficial for everyone –whether you have a mental health problem or not. Why the Five Ways work:

• Connect: Strengthening relationships with others and feeling close to and valued by others, including at work, is critical to boosting wellbeing.

• Keep Learning: Being curious and seeking out new experiences at work and in life more generally positively stimulates the brain.

• Be Active: Being physically active, including at work, improves physical health and can improve mood and wellbeing and decrease stress, depression and anxiety.

• Give: Carrying out acts of kindness, whether small or large, can increase happiness, life satisfaction and general sense of wellbeing.

• Take Notice: Paying more attention to the present

moment, to thoughts and feelings and to the world around, boosts our wellbeing. Meaningful conversations about mental health and wellbeing don’t have to be hard conversations. Being able to talk about our mental health, including our thoughts and feelings, is a sign of connection and a good attitude towards health at work.

It can be as simple as…

Ask a starter question and listen to how people are feeling and what is impacting (positively or negatively) on their actions and relationships at work:

• How are you? What’s up?

• How are you going with work / home /family / friends?

• How do you feel about this?

• What have you been up to recently?

• What happened over the weekend?

• How did you solve that issue?

• What would help? Can I help?

• How are you finding that job?

• Are there any things that could make it better, easier, less stressful?

Or, for managers, it can be as simple as 1,2,3

1. Talk – Make talking about mental wellbeing an everyday thing. Keeping the kōrero alive and open in your workplace positively affects mental wellbeing.

2. Understand – Find out how you can support your team to find balance, build resilience and boost mental health and wellbeing. Let them know you’re asking because you want to support the team to flourish. Use the Five Ways to Wellbeing to guide the discussion. Listen nonjudgmentally, acknowledge the teams’ thoughts and suggestions and don’t take it personally.

3. Work together – As a team, identify things you can do together to build connections, friendships and have fun. Focus on the strengths and abilities team members bring to the workplace and what resources everyone can bring to tautoko (support) wellbeing. For more information that can help us lead a conversation about our own, and our teams well-being in the workplace go to www.mentalhealth.org.nz/ resources.

Live showcase event for Whāingaroa Talent Factory this Friday

Talent Factory, the joint project between Raglan Community Radio, Raglan Community House and CSR Studios supporting youth, has announced their showcase event will be held on Friday 14th October at the Town Hall from 6pm. Five rangatahi live acts are lined up and having completed their mentor sessions earlier this week, the performers are raring to go!

Whaingaroa

Read the profiles of the performers below:

D Minor is Josh Alexander on vocals and guitars, Sam Madsen and Waiariki Tepania on guitar, Travis Carsten on bass and Hendrix Knox on drums (yes he was named after Jimmy). They’re aged between 13 – 16 and have been playing together for about 6 months.

They all have very different tastes in music ranging from Death Metal through the Ramones, to the Police. This made it hard to agree on songs to play but they’ll be performing covers by the Gorillaz and Nirvana on the night. Josh, who the band agrees is the most natural rock star of the five promises an epic show while others were promising an “ear bleeding experience” – although the WTF sound guy Nicky Keys might get the final say on that.

Wiremu is a Hiphop artist who creates his own tracks and you can check out his first one, Way I Walk on Spotify right now. He likes to rap about personal experiences and for his message to be truthful. Wirmeu is 16 years old and is currently working so he can save up for music equipment. He’s inspired by Hiphop artists, Aaron May and J Cole as well as local acts Muroki and Reiki Ruawai. Seen performing at parties around Raglan this will be Wiremu’s first performance on the big stage

Luna Petzold de la Cruz

Although only 14 Luna is a veteran of the Whaingaroa Talent Factory having performed at the inaugural event 2 years. She says it was an incredible experience where she learned a lot about performing and is much more confident about playing her music because of it. Luna is inspired by chill pop and singer songwriter music.

Abstract Fish Lung are performing two 2 original songs and while they share Travis, Josh and Waiariki from D Minor they also have Lily Lye adding some extra flavour on drums.

Lily says she draws inspiration from lots of different drummers, with Meg White from White Stripes, one of the few female drummers in rock music, definitely being one of them.

They’re performing two original songs; Reality Streams, written during lockdown last year, and Misery which started out with Josh jamming at home and writing some lyrics before the band got together to develop a track that had the WTF mentors praising the complexity of the music.

The band has been together for just under a year and cite Nirvana and Rage Against the Machine as influences.

Luna and Stella

Stella is aged 15 and has been singing with Luna since they were 8 and 9 years old. They’ve been singing at community gatherings and parties but this is their first time together on the big stage. Recently Stella has also been busking and performing solo and both of them are keen to jump on any opportunities the universe might bring their way including WTF22. Don't miss the live performances from these up and coming young performers.

Whaingaroa Talent Factory LIVE showcase this Friday, October 14, from 6pm at the Town Hall - koha entry.

Raglan Arts Weekend set to wow after two year break

From encaustic and metal work to fine arts photography and hand dyed silks, the work of 36 of Raglan’s top artists spans an impressive range of media.

Now art aficionados can get up close and personal with a whole range of these works over the much-loved Raglan Arts Weekend (RAW), taking place this Labour Weekend, 22 to 24 October 2022.

The annual event, now in its 12th year, is set to wow after a two year break due

to Covid, with artists having built up an impressive body of work and an array of new and interesting styles.

It’s a fun weekend with artists opening their home studios and art spaces for the selfguided art trail, and gives visitors a unique chance to connect with not only artists and artworks but with creative processes too.

“It’s a great opportunity to chat with artists, see an artwork being made and maybe pick up something special,” says Nicky Brzeska, RAW Co-ordinator. “It’s also a bit of an adventure to follow the map and wander

Did you know that… Raglan had its own 'paddling pond'?

There was a wonderful and welcoming ambience as children enjoyed the safety of a paddling pool. The bottom of the pond was soft and sandy and the water never got much deeper than knee-height, with no deep channels or tidal rips.

There was abundant bird life in this area, and Eileen remembers the children feeding the birds their picnic crusts. She believes that many of them dispeared once the causeway was widened and the floodgates were removed. (She was heartened to hear that this writer regularly sees clusters of up to six kingfishers, as well as other bird life in this area now!).

More recently, Eileen suggested that the Council might like to consider the construction of a boardwalk around this area, and do some native planting to attract bird life. What a great idea that is!!

around Raglan unearthing all this delightful work.”

Artists opening their ‘doors’ include fine art jewellery maker Sarah Steed, painter Brodie Reynolds, sculptor Richard Page and panel and paint maestro Chris Meek, as well as other hot faves such as Sam Mathers, Jane Galloway and Claudia Grutke.

The Old School also houses a couple of artists as well as the official Preview Exhibition which gives an exciting introduction to each participating artist.

“Pick up a copy of ‘The Raglan Arts Guide’ from the Old School or i-Hub, and visit our web site to get all the info you need to plan for the weekend,” says Nicky. “Or just wing it and look out for our official RAW flags which guide you to who is officially involved.”

Preview Exhibition: open daily (including weekends) from 10am to 2pm until 24 October at the Old School

RAW: open studios over Labour Weekend 22-24 October, 10am until 5pm.

Celtic multi-instrumentalist Rennie Pearson to play in Raglan

shows throughout October and November 2022 and with a South Island tour to follow later in 2022/early 2023.

Rennie has been making a name for himself as an exceptionally talented musician with years of solid touring & teaching here and overseas, both as a solo artist and as a part of numerous successful Celtic acts. As in the past, his upcoming solo shows continue to break ground in New Zealand, taking the old traditional songs and tunes and breathing new life into them through stories, history, humor and musicianship.

Te Aro Inlet (the area crossed by the causeway in Wallis Street) was governed by floodgates to control the tides at desired times. The gates were designed in England and were installed at a time when it was expected that Raglan would have its own railway line, with the station situated opposite the Dairy factory.

Raglan required a recreation ground so the flat swampland at the bottom of Long Street was drained into Te Aro Bay, forming a flat gathering area (now the tennis courts and rugby field) and the paddling pond. There was also a substantial playground at Puriri Park, complete with plenty of seating for parents. The area was further enhanced by the presence of privately –owned boat sheds built on one side of Te Aro Bay, from which flat-bottomed rowing boats were launched.

Eileen recalled that the A & P Show and horse racing events would attract large crowds of visitors to the town. On such occasions, the floodgates were used to keep the high tide in. The estuary was attractive, with none of the swamp grasses seen there today.

She recalls this as a welcoming environment and one that afforded both the children of Raglan, and visiting children, many safe and happy hours of water play.

Expert celtic multiinstrumentalist Rennie Pearson is taking his solo show of Celtic traditional music on the road around Aotearoa proudly bringing the beautiful music of Ireland, Scotland and Maritime Canada into the limelight to share with the people of New Zealand.

He is touring extensively this spring across the North Island, with twenty one

Grounded in the Celtic musical traditions, Rennie takes the listener on a journey through history, weaving together tunes and songs and the tales that accompany them to create an intricate and varied show. His engaging stage presence and storytelling opens the door for audiences to connect with the music of old, reconnecting people with the tightly bound histories, traditions and ancestry of these nations.

Throughout the show, he treats the audience to a wide array of different instruments including the wooden flute, guitar, Irish tin whistles, bodhran (Irish drum), fiddle and his captivating voice.

Rennie has made a name for himself in the traditional music scene of Australia and New Zealand as a stand-out solo performer, as well as touring his own duos, bands, and performing with large international stage productions.

His new album ‘From Across The Seas’ is set to be released in early October 2022.

connections for healthy environments and healthy people by enabling hāpu to become kaitiaki over our natural environments and resources.

As we know, sometimes it’s easier to simply talk about the weather.

The subtitled short film, funded by Arts Council England in 2020/21, is a powerful and moving record of the thoughts and voices of women from coastal, immigrant and creative communities (in England in 2021 and New Zealand in 2019). They explore their feelings about the weather, the sea, migration, colonisation, notions of connection and what it means to be ‘A Good Ancestor’.

Jill Impey’s working process is to make new recordings in response to her films and the workshops. These in-turn create new artworks to be shared.

Taking part in recordings is entirely voluntary and Jasmine will gather all permissions in line with good practice.

Movie: Milked

British artist Jill Impey is touring her Arts Council England funded Project, “The Weather Report” to Raglan for two performances, on Friday 28th October.

The Weather Report event includes a 14 minute film screening in a two hour creative engagement with artist Jasmine Teei, founder of Black Flax and one of the original contributors to the film.

Jasmine Teei’s role is to share cultural awareness, understanding and tikanga with diverse communities. This creates better

The Weather Report tour (National Lottery funded and supported by Art’s Council England in 2022) offers visitors the opportunity to take inspiration from the film and engage with a creative process of gathering and sharing wisdom and understanding.

Jasmine will guide participants through a range of creative activities, inviting them to:

• Explore black flax and other natural objects through touch and drawing.

• Consider how you connect to the world by sharing thoughts and feelings.

• Make postcards, poems and koha kete

• Find new ways of connecting and considering what it is to be ‘A Good Ancestor’.

The film and workshops are suitable for anyone aged eight and above (children must be accompanied by a participating adult) priced at $15 for adults $12 for concessions and $8 for children. Jill has worked with a wide range of people in this project from school children and parents in Plymouth to AGE UK in Plymouth, Shropshire Supports Refugees, Adults at Raglan Old Art School, New Zealand, mixed audiences at The National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth and the National Maritime Museum in Auckland, New Zealand. Jasmine is an experienced workshop leader and cultural advisor.

The Weather Report is currently touring the UK and New Zealand starting with The Hive, Shrewsbury, Prince Rock School Plymouth, The Dragon Theatre Barmouth and The Old School Arts Centre Raglan New Zealand in 2022, followed by Wolverhampton Arena Theatre with a BSL signed performance in spring 2023. The final exhibition and events will be shown between April and May 2023 at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury UK.

Mouldey and Gouldsbury Finish NZ Grom Series With Wins

What’s Mine is Not Necessarily Yours: Inheritance and Relationship Property

The Property (Relationships) Act 1976 (the Act) applies to all marriages, civil unions and de facto relationships. The Act deals with the division of property upon the end of a relationship whether that be through death or separation.

It promotes equal sharing of relationship property unless there is a good reason to deviate away from equal sharing.

When managing a separation, it is important to determine whether your assets are relationship property or separate property.

assist in relieving the financial pressure within a relationship, the risk is that the inheritance is then caught by the equal sharing rules in the event of separation.

It is possible to protect your inheritance and keep it as your separate property while still enjoying the financial freedom of a reduced mortgage by entering into an agreement that contracts out of the equal sharing rules under the Act. Such an agreement is commonly referred to as a “prenup” or “contracting out” agreement and can be entered into at any point during the relationship. A contracting out agreement confirms the status of both relationship property and separate property.

The recent Taranaki Grom Comp has completed the New Zealand Grom Series with Tao Mouldey (Mnt) and local surfer Natasha Gouldsbury claiming wins in the premier Under 18 Boys and Girls Division.

Wins also went to Tava Santorik (Mnt) and Pia Rogers (WGM) in the Under 16 Divisions and Sev Tolhurst (Piha) and Lola Groube (Pau) in the Under 14 Divisions.

Gouldsbury had five wins this year for a maximum points total on the rankings. Today she finished ahead of Maya Mateja (Rag) in second, Liv Haysom (Piha) in third and Anna Brock (Mnt) in fourth.

Tava Santorik (Mnt) finished his season off with a win in the Under 16 Boys Division, his second victory in three events. The tall young surfer used his leverage to sneak in the best closeout turns of the finalists. His win elevated him to third overall this year behind Tao Mouldey (Mnt) and Jack Tyro (Chch). But

Raglan’s Alani Morse surfed to her third Sticky Johnson Primary School Championships presented by Skullcandy title, October 2. Morse won the Year 7&8 Girls Division with the highest heat score of the day – 13.90 points out of 20.

Morse started the final well with a 7.5 before falling behind eventual runner up Lola Groube (Pau). However, it was a late backhand wave

today, Santorik’s opponents included first time finalist Zade Pitkethly (Mnt) who finished in second, Theo Morse (Rag) in third and Alexis Owen (Dun) in fourth.

New Zealand teammates Pia Rogers (WGM) and Leia Millar went head-to-head in the Under 16 Girls Division final with Rogers getting the nod this time 6.40 to 6.04. It was a good way to bookend the season for Rogers and her second win of the year after winning the opening competition being the National Championships held at Westport in January. Rogers’ win was not enough to hold off Millar for the overall NZ Grom Series title, a mere 10 points separating the two surfers. Talia De Silva (Whngrei) placed third in the final ahead of first-time finalist Ayla Gee (Rag).

Lola Groube (Pau) claimed the Under 14 Girls Division with a 13.33 point heat total to defeat Poppy Entwisle (Chch). By way of her second placing, Entwisle managed to retain the overall series win by the narrowest of margins. India Kennings (WGM) placed third in the final ahead of Lani Frazerhurst (Rag) in fourth.

that netted Morse 6.40 to jump back in the lead and win the heat.

“Pretty stoked, got a couple of nice scores and pulled through, yeah I am psyching” commented Morse.

“You know, the worst conditions bring out the better surfers and all the girls in the final were ripping, I was getting stressed out at one point and I didn’t know if I was holding it down, so I just had to surf as good as possible until the final hooter” added Morse.

Assets acquired during the relationship are generally relationship property. The Act does provide however, that inheritance is not relationship property, unless the inherited property or the proceeds are so intermingled with the other relationship property that it is unreasonable or impracticable to regard the inheritance as separate property. Where your inheritance has not been intermingled, it is immune from claims by your spouse or partner.

Commonly people apply their inheritance to relationship property by paying off their mortgage or putting it towards the purchase of the family home. While it makes sense to do this to

In the absence of entering a contracting out agreement it is important that you keep your inheritance separate and not apply it towards or intermingle it with relationship property.

At DTI Lawyers we have a team of specialist relationship property lawyers headed by director Hayley Willers. Our team can assist you with your relationship property matters whether that be protecting your assets against future relationship property claims or navigating you through the division of your assets on separation.

Kyle could often be spotted on a Saturday morning cheering his boys and the other Raglan kids on, his presence and his support will be sorely missed at the club as it is around the town in everything that Kyle did for us. Moenga Roa, Kyle.

Our AGM will be held on Thursday 20 of October, so come along to support us and share your views on how we can change or improve the way we do things.

All are welcome.

Ka kite anō au i a koutou.

Take care and have a great summer.

This

Twice as nice

= One outstanding property

The front house was architecturally designed and built in 2008. Greeted by high ceilings and polished concrete floors, this home gives you a lovely feeling of space. The open plan kitchen/living area is filled with light, flowing in from twin ranch sliders that open onto a large covered deck. Upstairs is a very generous double bedroom with a handy storage attic. Downstairs is a second bedroom along with the bathroom. This house has recently been painted throughout, and is now a fresh canvas waiting for you to add your personal touch. The second dwelling is a gorgeous character filled one bedroom, one bathroom cottage.
