To the Editor, I would like to open the Dog Discussion once more. I have a serious issue with Raglan's dog "friendliness", specifically the $300 fine for taking a dog into the CBD of Raglan. I find this remarkably Unfriendly, and so do many dog owners (residents and visitors), that I meet on my frequent walks with my two small dogs. I understand this situation has come about as a reaction to dangerous dogs, so why cant the dangerous dogs be censured? I have personally encountered a few very scary dogs whilst walking my dogs, and I would very much like to see these dogs properly controlled and required to wear muzzles.
Area Fishing Report: by Raglan Wharf Seagull
So good, the fishing out of Raglan has been going off big time. A great weather pattern, calm seas has been perfect for all types of fishing. Diving, big game fishing, bottom fishing it is all go. Sea temperatures are 22.5 to 23 degrees. There are plenty of bait fish, with schools from 30m to out deep. Skippies and albacore are chasing these bait fish. Snapper, gurnard and kawahai bottom fishing has been great, needing usually less than two hours to catch your limit. Many snapper have been of size. One 9kg fish was caught and released to live another day. Fresh bait and sharp large hooks is all that is required. This season we have been plagued by packs of rat kings. Like at times it is hard to get our baits to the bottom and every caught fish being wound in has a kingi chasing it. This is in 12m of water! But we caught a 37.5 lb king fish in this depth on snapper gear. In a season or two there will be a lot of 75cm Kingis around, great for sport fishing and light gear.

never missed a day and was truly a fun experience. Harbour fishing is good, the Raglan Bar has been calm, so snapper, gurnard and trevally of a nice size have being caught. All harbour navigation lights are working and the Raglan Bar is on the leads. Because of the calm conditions I believe that the Raglan Bar has silted up. It needs a SW storm and 3m of seas for a few days to blow the sand off the bar to the harbour spits at the entrance. Certainly it is often breaking at low tide with 1m of swell. The Simrad Raglan One Base Fishing Tournament is on based at The Raglan Club on March 19,20,21. Briefing and registration 5pm Wednesday 18th March. Further info check www. waikatosportsfishing.co.nz events. Smokem Raglan returns on Easter Sunday the 5th April. This is a local smoked fish competition, free to enter, great prizes and trophies. Just remember, the conditions as http://www.weathermap.co.nz/?p=ragla reported have been great, but our West Coast can change in days, swell and tide sizes, afternoon wind, so enjoy but take care.

Instead of barring ALL dogs from Raglan's CBD, why not welcome them, and create dog stations on the grass strip in town. Provide places where the dogs can be tied up, and supplied with bowls of water etc, so residents and visitors can safely 'park' their dog while they visit shops and cafes. As for the dangerous dogs; fine any that are uncontrolled, and require all aggressive dogs (even potentially so) to wear muzzles. I believe this is a much friendlier solution than a blanket banning of all dogs and a ridiculously high fine for walking ones dog through the street on a lead. Bronwen Christianos, Raglan.

DO YOU Whale Bay resident Gregor Divett with the Pinnacle Rocks behind him, where he rescued a fisherman recently.
I
n Hamilton there is one lucky kina fisherman, who is very grateful to a couple of Whale Bay locals for saving his life. A 52-year-old Hamilton man was rescued from the Whale Bay’s Pinnacle Rocks area recently after being swept off the rocks while looking for kina with his family. Raglan Police said the man was about 250-300 metres offshore when long-time Whale Bay resident Gregor Divett went to his rescue, later assisted by fellow local Dave Graham. “The victim said he wouldn’t have survived if it hadn’t been for Gregor,” Constable Dean McMIllan said. Gregor said he heard children calling
out in panic that day, and when he looked out from his house he could see a man floating in the water, so he grabbed his surfboard and flippers and headed out. “He seemed fine but when I got there I realised he was drowning. He was exhausted, saying ‘man, I just don’t want to die in front of my kids’.” Gregor got him on the board before Dave Graham arrived on another surfboard, and together they got him into shore, where the man took a while to recover from exhaustion and from swallowing a lot of water. It was the second time Gregor had rescued someone from the Pinnacle Rocks area, which was notorious for its rip – and the circumstances were almost identical. The other time was about five years ago
on New Year’s Day, when he and local Phil McCabe rescued a man who got caught in the rip in the same area. Both times the surf had been small and the victims had been searching for kina off the rocks. “As soon as they can’t touch the bottom, they’re in trouble,” Gregor explained, as a slow current then took them out to sea. “Neither of them could swim an inch,” he added. Gregor now had some advice for all those people who came to Whale Bay to gather shellfish: learn to swim. “If they can’t swim, then hug the rocks. And if they’re in trouble, go with the current and try to swim to the side and they will eventually get out of the rip.” Rachel Benn

Dickey takes cross-country series win R
aglan's Jason Dickey is the Bel Ray Cross-country Series champion for 2015. A runner-up finish on Sunday was more than enough for the Kawasaki rider to wrap up the series. The 20-year-old Raglan dairy farmer took his 2015-model Kawasaki KX250F to finish fourth overall at the opening round of the series near Huntly back in December and he followed that up with a stunning win at round two near Huntly last month. But his runner-up finish at the third and final round near Bombay on Sunday clinched the series outright for him as he led his two main threats for the crown – Hamilton's Andrew Charleston and Rotorua's Scott Birch – across the finish line. Dickey was satisfied to accept runner-up spot on Sunday, behind Mokau's defending champion Adrian Smith, because he knew that Smith had virtually no chance of taking the title after he'd failed to finish the two-hour race at the previous round. "I got a good start, in about fifth or sixth
out of the gate, and was soon up behind Adrian Smith. I followed him for a bit and then took the lead before the end of lap one. "But then Adrian got me back a lap later and, when I got stuck in a bog, he managed to stretch out a bit of a gap on me and I couldn't catch him after that. "I simply knew I had to keep an eye on where the guys were behind me, because it was Andrew (Charleston) and Scott (Birch) who I really had to beat. "The laps were quite short, so it meant we were quickly into lapped traffic and that made things difficult too, but I got there in the end." Dickey, Smith, Charleston, Birch and Goodwright, along with most of the other Bel Ray Series competitors, will now prepare to face-off again at the first round of four in this season's New Zealand Cross-country Championships, starting near Onga Onga, in Central Hawke's Bay, this weekend. "I'm feeling very good for the nationals," said Dickey. "I have had a few good results lately and it has been the best build-up I could have had." Andy McGechan

Douglas Stephenson, originally from Texas in the United States, had been the interim pastor of the church for about eight months, along with his wife Kenna. He previously done missionary work for the Methodist Church and had also been an ordained Baptist minister in the US, but that qualification was not recognised in New Zealand, and he was now associated with the Congregational Church. Doug’s permanent appointment as the Raglan Union Church’s pastor was formalised and celebrated on Sunday at the church with a special commissioning service.

The newly-commissioned pastor of Raglan Union Church Douglas Stephenson with his wife Kenna. Methodist and Presbyterian. Doug, who is clinical director of acute and general adult medicine at Waikato Hospital, said he made time for his unpaid role as pastor because he thought it was important to practice what he preached – about selflessness, love and helping in the community. “I think life is about finding time for things that are important. This is as important as my other [hospital] job, so I make the time,” he said.
He also made time to visit members of the church, their friends and family “and anyone who needs a visit” while they were at Waikato Hospital. “There are a lot of people in Raglan who have been through the Union Church at some point in their lives – it’s a been around since 1895!” The church was currently considering how to commemorate the 120th year since Reverand Wallis gave the first sermon at the church in April 1895.

It’s by far the most popular walking passage in this town and on any given morning from first light walking enthusiasts can be seen stepping it out around the 2.5 km circuit. Walking back over the one way bridge toward town on Monday morning Maria barely escaped with her life when what looked like a green station-wagon hurtled at great speed up around the corner, completely cutting it off and almost hitting Maria as it sped up Whitley Street. Later that day she was still shaken by just how close her near-death moment had been as she spoke to the Chronicle. “I’m still in a state of shock from what nearly happened. I didn’t hear the car at all and had no warning. Most scary was that when it screamed around the bottom of Whitley Street from Wainui Road it cut the corner off completely and stayed on the wrong side of the road until nearly at the top of the street – crazy crazy driving that nearly cost me my life.” Sweeping up Whitley Street to head out of town in the morning is the choice of many motorists who cross over from Raglan West and further afield. Sadly, many like this driver choose to cut the corner not only endangering those on foot, including children who may be heading to school, but inviting a head-on collision should a car be travelling down Whitley Street at the same time. Maria, like others is convinced it is only a question of time before there is a nasty accident involving a pedestrian; maybe even a fatality. “When you think about it I can understand why cars speed up going around the corner to get up Whitley Street because it is suddenly so steep, but having experienced first-hand just how dangerous the intersection is I’m wondering whether some sort of safety measure, like a raised concrete strip separating one side of the road from the other needs to be seriously looked at.” She argues by introducing a median barrier it will force motorists to slow down and take the corner correctly. “I think it definitely needs to be looked at by Council road safety inspectors so something is done to mitigate the dangers before a tragedy unfolds. I am lucky to be alive!” Sue Russell
Gala drew great crowd Police story to come Small story to come
Slime a teacher: Just one of the fun events on the day
R
aglan Area School’s gala on Saturday was a huge success, and is set to become a regular event on the calendar. RAS board of trustee and gala organiser Mel Brydon said the school’s first big gala had been “just amazing”, with good weather and good crowds making for a successful fundraiser. “It was a great day for the community. Everybody came out supporting the school. Everyone was smiling – they were outside, they were having fun,“ she said. A lot of local families came to the gala, held at Te Kopua Domain, but the event also attracted many out-of-town families who were visiting Raglan for the long Waitangi Day weekend. The fundraising was for the school, which needed to re-surface its junior tennis courts, and for individual classes’ school trips and resources, with the school raising nearly $8000 overall.
The food stands were popular – including chef Jimmy Boswell’s pork sliders, which quickly sold out – along with the entertainment, in the form of live music, a karaoke competition, some old-fashioned games and the rides. “I think that the kids really, really enjoyed the rides: the motorbikes, the Cliffhanger [slide] was really popular, the Zorb balls were a real hit,” she said. It was also good to have the Poihakena Marae, which was fundraising for an overseas trip, and the Tainui registration stand at the event. “It’s about bringing our community together through education, learning, fun and families. All those things are conducive to a happy, healthy community.” Next year, the school hoped to attract more community organisations to its gala, which had been such a success that it would now become a regular annual fundraiser for the school.

GOD IS REAL! HERE’S MY STORY
In 2008 at the age of 42 my life looked awesome from the outside. I had a great job with a good salary which involved a senior role in a multimillion dollar international project that included travel to Japan and Australia all expenses paid. I had my own home with a lovely wife and daughter, yet something was missing. The more I tried to fill the gap with material things the more empty I felt. Was this it I thought; we work, we get stuff, we die, what’s the point? I was aware of the concept of God through my upbringing, but as I grew older decided it was really just for those who were not strong enough to make it on their own; why would a supposedly successful person like myself need God?, my life was sweet right? I wrestled with this for some time battling with what my logic denied but my heart
believed. Finally the love and hope of Jesus Christ became an irresistible force that I could not deny any longer. At last the empty void was filled. Six years on and my life has been very different. The despair of what’s the point has been replaced with the hope of no matter what happens in life I have the ultimate ally and friend to call on. I have not become the perfect human being, far from it, but the new emphasis on building relationships rather than isolating myself it has certainly made me a better one and this is a journey that continues each day. Ultimately I think Bear Grylls sums up Christian faith very simply when he states ‘it is about being held, comforted, forgiven, strengthened and loved”. That is what I have found in God and He is real. Stuart Wright

Gardening Column: Putting down roots A difficult month to write on gardening because of the hot dry soil heat, hence sorry, no kids giveaway this month, but we will write with good advice to you all. It is harvest time for all vegetables and plums. Peaches, nectarines, apples and pears will follow in time. All our potatoes and onions have been dug, lifted, dried and stored. Potatoes are in sugar bags for ease of movement and have a handful of lime in the top to alleviate bugs and rot. New sugar bags are available from David’s Emporium in Hamilton. Garden weeds from crops harvested and other areas need to be hoed out, to die in the heat of the day. Don’t let those weed seed, one years’ seed, seven years of weed. It is now pickle, chutney, relish, sauce, preserving, and jam time for the surplus of fruit and vegetables. Tomatoes as they colour need to be picked and ripened on a shelf, along with the many others, cucumbers, courgettes, sweetcorn, beans, and peppers. For to harvest vegetables often allows the other younger vegetables on that plant develop. It is the same with flowers and roses, to debud dead heads produces more flowers later. Harvested garden can be dug or lightly forked over, sprinkle over it with lime and leave to fallow. Sunflower flower heads can be pruned and dried and saved for seed for consumption or seed for next year. Also spent raspberry and other berry canes can be pruned off after they have produced. Caution old canes not
the new canes for next years production. Cuttings can be struck now from many plants, eg fushias, azaleas, carnations, camellias, native plants, lavender and many indoor plants. 3M’s, moisture, mulch and manure is essential NOW to get the best from your flower, fruit trees, vegetable garden and roses over the next six weeks. Powdery mildew is rife now with cucumbers, gerkins, pumpkins, courgettes, pumpkins and squash. They really need moisture; you can spray the leaves with a fungicide, or mix a little baking soda with water and spray or just cut the worst leaves off. White butterfly: Plantings of marigolds, nasturtiums, and some herbs, (basil) close to cabbages will keep the butterfly away. That butterfly caterpillar produced, also gets attacked by the paper wasp whose nest abound in our bushes. That wasp also attacks the monarch butterfly caterpillar. You can win the battle but not the war. New moon is on the 19th with seed sowing from the 21st to the end of February. Sow, keeping moist and shaded, all brassicas, cabbages etc, lettuce, carrots, silver beet, spinach and leek, plus flowers seeds, iceland poppies, stock, primulas, calendula, alyssum, pansies, violas and others. See you leaning on your shovel. The Raglan Wharf Seagull.
