Dear Editor Thank you for publishing the article on the old Mission Station well, found near the corner of Wainui and Fish n’ Chips Opotoru Roads. Group Bookings It puzzles me that the Inside/Outside Seating 1957 memorial plaque side of wa o k u l o d geis@ gon m athe i l .conorth m Wainui Rd, if the station Open for Dinner was further down Opotoru Fri & Sat Rd. from 5:30pm Did the Wallis family Breakfast/Lunch 7 Days not know where the station had been, were they not able to put the Open 7 Days plaque closer to it, or From 9:30AM Mon-Fri is the map in your 24 and 9AM Sat and Sun January edition wrong?

with the current map, it appears that the navy was only concerned with the accuracy of the map for the navigable areas and that the rest was not all that precise. If so, the Mission Station could have been where the plaque is, with the well just across the road. Can anyone throw any more light on this please? Regards, John Lawson

It has been a hectic summer season and emergency services have been kept busy keeping up with increased population. Some establishments and groups closed down for the holiday often leaving a void for the locals, especially the elderly. Make time to visit an elderly relative, or get in touch with an old friend; tomorrow may be too late. February sees the reopening of the Senior Groups. While The Raglan Community House and Opportunity Shop closed for three weeks, the Saturday Club continued to use the facilities. Meanwhile, the Lions Opportunity shop kept busy every day supplying visitors and locals with summer gear. The Lions volunteers work throughout the year to raise funds for community events, the highlight being the New Year Parade. Senior Technology got under way last week and Jake and Jordan were kept busy fixing various devices. I took along my computer which was very slow and I frequently had trouble getting on the net.

nothing was wrong, just too many visitors over loading the system! Care and Craft starts on Monday, so come along have a cuppa and learn a new craft. Raglan Support Group is on Tuesday (a day earlier than usual because of Waitangi Day) The first Nia Dance of the year was on Wednesday concessions for Seniors. Next session Wednesday February 6. Try something new and get into a new comfort zone. The Raglan Community House is looking for volunteers and needs people to help in the Opportunity Shop. Timebank is also a good organisation to get to know people and share skills and ideas. Find something you are passionate about: art, crafts, gardening, writing, singing, yoga, dancing. And if you cannot find a group in Raglan, make it happen. If all else fails walk the three bridges! Pay it forward. Have fun making a difference in the community. The highlight of last year for me was being involved in the Golden Hearts and organising a Golden Hearts Gathering for the elderly volunteers and their friends. Take a leap of faith - join a group, make new friends and avoid loneliness in your twilight years.

Certificate of appreciation marks ex chemist’s half century as Justice of the Peace
A
half century’s a long time to be at the community’s beck and call, and Raglan identity Ralph Blanchard reckons he might call it quits on his Justice of the Peace work at the end of this year. “I’m getting a bit old,” he told the Chronicle, lamenting the odd tiny error he’s made when validating documents. He’s fixes them up all right but it’s not the tidiest, says the octogenarian. And he fears it could be a “lengthy business” if, say, a fresh document of some sort had to be sent from overseas. Ralph’s 50 years of service as a JP around town was recognised recently when he was presented at his Bankart St home with a framed certificate of appreciation signed by JPs organisation chief executive and secretary for justice Andrew Bridgman. Fellow Raglan JP Julie Hanna was there for the occasion, and said her colleague’s longtime voluntary work was “such a great achievement”. She and Wayne Morris have become the town’s main ‘go-to’ JPs since Ralph – Raglan’s former pharmacist – sold his upper Bow St home of 45 years to divide his time between the Turangi holiday house he’s long owned and a “little unit” he and wife Judith

have recently bought opposite the Sunset Motel. Ralph says he’s not always here now and can’t do justice to the role like before. While in Turangi this month, for instance, he’s had calls from people needing documents validated before his return. “I think I’m going to give it up.”
He understands the Waikato JP Association will appoint another two or three JPs here very shortly. A JP has the power to witness signatures on documents, certify copies of documents, complete affidavits or statutory declarations and confirm identities.
“In the old days we could open inquests and sign search warrants too,” says Ralph. But now people need to go to Hamilton or Ngaruawahia to get them, he says, and he’s not convinced of the logic behind the change when such documents are needed on the spot. Edith Symes

T
he fifth Raglan Bowl Jam was held last Saturday at the skate park. Drawing local kids and adult skaters as well as some pro's from out of town, organiser Miles Ratima said it was: “A great day down at the park.” Prizes on offer included $500 cash as well as a hammer forged tiki made by local artist/blacksmith Marten ten Broek. Contested divisions were: Open Mens, Open Womens, Groms and Best Trick. “We wanted to put on an event for the kids before school started,”said Miles. “I think it's also important to raise awareness of skating in our community. It gets quite busy at this park so it would be awesonme if we can get some positive awareness out there to find new locations for another park as well. “We have a world-class point break here at Manu Bay, imagine if we had a world-class skate park here too that could draw professionals from around the world?” He said. The Open divisions were both won by Raglan Surf Co. employees Sandro Viola (mens) and Corina Tweedie (womens) and the Grom division was won by local boy Jack Meek. During prizegiving Jack gave a sweet shoutout to his friend Esai O'Donnell (who came second) for showing him some new tricks and how sad he was that his friend will be moving to Australia. Esai won the prize for Best Slam and visiting pro Mike Bancroft won the prize for Most Stylish Skater. This event was kindly sponosred by Raglan Shuttle, Raglan Butcher, Back Door, Vans, Wrong Skate Shop, Grizzly, Santa Cruz, Dickies, Manual Magazine, St Johns, Spitfire Wheels and Dan from Merkaba NZ Hemp Oil.

Sands of Time
by John Lawson
Continuing our occasional history series we look back to Whaingaroa a century ago – 1919
The above plan of the area is in a Waitangi Tribunal report, History of pre-1865 Crown Purchase Reserves in Te Rohe Potae.
A
century ago, the Great War had just finished, but it wasn't until 19 September that the last Raglan troops arrived on the troopship Hororata at Wellington. Other delayed troops rioted at Sling Camp in March 1919 and some didn't return until 1921. 75 local men went to the front, of whom 54 returned. In October the Town Board Chairman presented them gifts from the Soldiers' Reception Committee at a social and dance, then in November a ball welcomed returned Masons. There was a national referendum in April 1919 on alcohol. Raglan, Te Mata, Te Uku and Waitetuna voted for prohibition, but Te Akau for continuation. Nationally it was the returning troops who swung the vote for continuation. One of those returning, Charlie Brewerton, felled bush on a 700 acre block at Makomako. He was not the only one felling bush. When Te Uku hall was built as a war memorial, timber for it was felled on Karioi, and milled at Te Mata. Much felling was resumed after the war and the Raglan Sawmilling Co was formed to mill the timber around Karioi, especially rimu. In 1919, Papahua, most of which is now public domain, was awarded to Ngāti Mahanga by the Native
Land Court, which concluded their conquest was an established historic fact. Raglan Town Board had, in May 1917, wanted to buy it for a Recreation Reserve, which it became in 1923. The Court said Papahua was a comparatively valueless piece of land and that money shouldn't have been wasted on a court case. The above plan of the area is in a Waitangi Tribunal report, History of pre-1865 Crown Purchase Reserves in Te Rohe Pōtae. It is one of two reports setting out the complex history of local land transfers and concludes that most reserve sales were, "characterised by varying degrees of administrative confusion”. Progress was at last being made, with financial support from the government (£4500 spent in 1919 almost $½m today), to turn the muddy track between Raglan and Frankton into an all weather road, with sand and gravel from Te Uku Quarry, Belcher’s Quarry (now on Cornwall Rd) and the beach. Metalling had begun in 1908, about 4 of its 31 miles remained as mud in 1919 and it was finished in 1921. Slips were frequent on the new deviation in 1919. There was debate about who should pay for the locally rated half of the cost. It was claimed 80% of traffic was from outside Raglan, with only 10 cars in Raglan (no parking problem!), so locals shouldn't pay to maintain the road for visitors.
It was expected that within 2 years there'd be a “good road” to Te Mata. Other roads listed as getting government money were Aotea to Raglan, Waingaro to Ruakiwi Landing, Waipa Bridge and Wallis St. South from Te Mata, Pakoka bridge didn't open till 1923, so when the Public Works Department cut a 6-foot track for 9 miles through solid bush to Makomako Rd, it was used to get stock to market. Its use declined once the bridge opened and it is now an eroded and overgrown track. Raglan's regular bus service started in 1919, when 1918's, “prospect that with the beginning of the year a daily mail service will be established between Raglan and Frankton” was planned to become reality on 1 October 1919. However, the start was delayed to the end of the monthwith an ad saying, “Until the road is reliable, Casual Trips will be taken”. Possibly the caution was prompted by the mail car tumbling, “between 50 and 60 feet”, when it swerved to avoid another car on a tight bend at the top of the divi in February 1919. Fortunately the worst injury to the 8 passengers was a broken collar bone. Initially there were several competing 'service cars', all using large US-built cars, either Hudson, or Chevrolet and taking about 3 hours. Horses were still important, so the county engineer was asked to “purchase a horse to replace the one which had been destroyed working the county scoop”. However, increasingly motors were taking over. Whereas Raglan County Council Assistant Engineer Mr. Wright had used a pack horse to carry his instruments and camp gear when he went to war in 1915, when he came back, he used a motorbike and side-car. Dr Sanders bought a Model T Ford to visit his country patients, rather than use a horse drawn gig. Les Houchen and Walmsley Bros bought Model T truck variants. Bob Vernon, in his history of Aotea, said, “The roads were rough and Houchen's Model T had no shock absorbers, so the pigs most likely would have preferred to walk. Does it matter if you take three more days to get to the bacon factory?” Les' father, Edward Houchen, was chair of a railway group. A large
meeting at Te Uku was reported to, “view with favour the proposal to construct a light railway from Hamilton to Ragland and Kawhia” and another line from Kawhia, via Te Kawa, to Otorohanga was also promoted in 1919. Like the road, it would have taken about 3 hours to Hamilton, at speeds of 10 to 14mph. Water transport was still important too. Te Akau wharf was completed, the Raglan wharf approaches nearly finished, and, “two rows of concrete piles on the wharf erected and will be out of the contractor's hands before Easter. At dead low water there will be 12½ft at Te Akau, and 14½ft at Raglan, which will be ample to accommodate any vessel likely to enter the harbour.” However, wartime shortages intervened, so the present wharf didn't open until 1921. They also further delayed repairs, so, “10 feet of the retaining wall at the launch wharf . . . collapsed and required immediate attention”. Every Monday the Northern Steamship's Aupouri, Rimu, or Claymore continued to leave Onehunga for Raglan and Kawhia and the annual fishing excursion was on Tuesday 18 February on the Rimu, though for schnapper, not hapuka, “which has not been too successful from the fishermen's point of view for two or three years.” The 6-hour trip cost 10s (around $50 today) and afternoon tea was 1s ($5). The road improvements resulted in, “an exceptionally large influx of visitors from all parts of the Waikato since Christmas, and it is evident that Raglan has now become the seaside
resort for Waikato. Quite a number of 'shacks' have just been finished, while several others are in course of erection, residents of Hamilton, Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Ngaruawahia and Frankton all being represented. . . The town of Raglan is filling fast with holiday makers and the hotels and boarding houses are being besieged. Numerous tents are cropping up like mushrooms in sheltered places.” One Hamilton investor bought up lots of residential sections. A case of tutu honey poisoning in May showed that communication was still slow. Bill Richards in 'Off the Sheep's Back' described how it took from 9pm till late afternoon next day to get the doctor from Ngāruawāhia and he had to stay, as they couldn't get the sick to hospital. They had no phone, so went to a neighbour, but, as the exchange closed at 5 pm, they rang someone 3 miles from it, who went there get a call through. Then the doctor's car stuck in mud, so he had to walk the last 7 muddy miles. Bill Richards also described the lobbying for Ruakiwi School, which cost £319 in 1919. With poor transport and large families, local schools were needed. For example, at the general election in 1919, Te Mata cast a total of 98 votes (51 for Reform, 39 Liberal, 8 Labour - Richard Bollard was Raglan MP from 1911 to 1927, when Labour got in), but the below 1919 photo of Te Mata school shows 53 children. So 1919 left us with less bush, a pub, a school (closed when school buses spread) and a bus service. The 1920s would bring many more changes.
