Should you wish to aquire any images from this weeks Chronicle - please contact us on 825 7076 or email your request to info@raglanchronicle.co.nz Dear Editor, I have just read “Making Raglan Affordable” in the February 4th issue of the Raglan Chronicle. To me, it is a rather misguided article. Written by someone who obviously still believes the moon is made of blue cheese, and fairy godmothers still abound to grant our every wish. However, in the real world, people do move, for varying reasons. Not many I feel sure, are for the reasons stated in the article. I doubt that, (quote) – “old people who were born here used to retire to the Lazarus Village” – the thirteen units in the village would have made a huge difference to the retiring population of Raglan. As I remember it, the people who lived in Lazarus Village units were already on a welfare benefit of some kind. As for the “reduced subsidies”, that is rubbish. The subsidies now would be well in excess of what they were years ago. The rentals were also minimal “back then”. The writer of the article asks for “those who sew to make draft stoppers. Firewood. Curtains, etc etc…” The list goes on and on. As I see things, some New Zealanders have become: 1) used to the welfare state so milk it for all it’s worth. 2) Expect everything for nothing, and sit back and do nothing, and wait for everybody else to do it for them. 3) God helps those who help themselves. It is time that people, everywhere, faced up to their own situation, and work things out for themselves. Be seen to be doing something, to help one’s self. So what if Raglan has a lot of holiday homes? Or if “they fill the car parks and beaches”! It is a seaside town. These things occur. For goodness sake, some people need to get into the real world. Raglan is a wonderful little town. It is the exciting mix of people from overseas and the out-of-towners that make it a unique, interesting, friendly little town, and we should all embrace that. There will always be “poor and needy” people. Everywhere. World wide. But we cannot change that. However, we do have in Raglan wonderful second hand shops. Including ‘Kahu’s Nest’ at the recycle centre. So warm clothing or whatever else, is usually available and cheap as chips to buy.

Te Uku wind farm goes ‘live’ More than 200 guests including the Maori king, King Tuheitia, industry and political representatives, iwi, key project staff and the media were expected to crowd into an onsite marquee for a ceremony marking the culmination of the multimillion-dollar project. The 28-turbine wind farm is a joint alliance between Meridian Energy and Wel Networks. It is the first generation development project of its type in New Zealand between an electricity generator and retailer and a lines company. Meridian chief executive Tim Lusk said it was a proud day for the company. “This is a celebration of the efforts of our business partners, tangata whenua and the community working closely together to showcase a worldclass wind farm to the country,” he said. “This wind farm is going to be one of the most productive in the world. Wind patterns at Te Uku mean that we will get twice the energy out of the turbines compared to that of world average wind farms.” The wind farm has been generating electricity since last November when the first turbine went live ahead of schedule. So far 22 turbines have been installed and 17 are producing electricity. All 28 turbines are expected to be operating by early March, with a capacity of 64.4MWs, enough to power 30,000 average homes. “Te Uku will make a significant contribution to securing electricity supply in the Waikato

Turbines claimed to affect telecommunications A public row over claimed interference to telecommunications was threatening this week to take some of the wind out of the sails, or blades, of Te Uku’s new alternative energy plant ahead of today’s official opening of the $200 million project.

As the opening neared, wind farm operator Meridian was saying little about allegations that reduced network availability was affecting everything from mobile phones to GPS dog collars. “Extensive investigation work is undertaken by specialists to determine what if any impact a turbine may have,” Meridian spokeswoman Michelle Brooker told the Chronicle on Monday in a media line similar to that used previously by the Christchurch-based energy giant. “In the case of the wind farm at Te Uku these investigations were completed before construction commenced.” However Raglan Community Board chairman Rodger Gallagher – a former telecommunications engineer and a wind farm critic – remained unconvinced this week that a series of new local network problems were coincidental, and has called for an independent study into the “diffracted coverage”. “The signal’s bent,” he told the Chronicle, “and Wel/Meridian’s own expert in the evidence [during

the wind farm’s resource consent hearing] said it may happen.” He lamented that no-one had done a proper study at the outset. “Vodaphone and Telecom have confirmed to me they did not investigate possible problems before the wind farm was built,” he said. Rodger said he had been told by Meridian PR staff that nothing like this had happened before, but he begged to differ. Exactly the same thing happened in Ireland a few years ago, he insisted – “diffracted coverage like this”. The first instance of something amiss, Rodger said in a letter of complaint last week to Waikato District Council – the authority which issued the land use consent for the wind farm – came when Te Uku diesel technician Desmond Downs found he had lost his mobile phone service after the first of the massive turbines was installed on site on the Wharauroa Plateau. “There is a pattern of radio interference being reported from the date that the wind farm towers went up and the turbines became operational,” Rodger said. Aside from reduced cellphone coverage, he also complained of: • GPS dog collar units no longer working in the Pirongia Reserve adjacent to the wind farm • National Radio breaking up on the FM101 frequency.

The Waikato’s first wind farm was set to go “live” today, Thursday, when Prime Minister John Key was to formally switch on the turbines at the Te Uku wind farm.

• Five watt point-to-point radios no longer working on a farm in the Waitetuna Valley – except on days when only one turbine is operational. Rodger asked the council, in his letter, to “commission a quantitative study by an independent expert to check this [interference] before the consent holder is required to remedy the situation”. He pointed out that consent conditions included a requirement that wind farm operators undertake remedial actions if, within six months of the wind farm becoming fully operational, “adverse effects on fixed linking or wide area coverage services … have occurred”. Council regulatory manager Nath Pritchard said late last week that if it was demonstrated there was an issue, the resource consent would be looked at, its conditions examined and “an appropriate review” made. Telecom for one, however, doesn’t see a problem. It has described as extremely unlikely any suggestion the wind farm is causing degradation of its mobile service. Meantime Meridian has asked that anyone with concerns call 0800 838 589 “so that we can investigate the matter further with the relevant service providers”. Edith Symes

Namaste Kitchen A Sanskrit word – as old and intrinsic as life itself – means … ‘namas’ giving full respect to guests and ‘te’ specifically to you. This is a way of being rather then a mere greeting and is obvious when I interview Sujan, restaurant manager for the newly opened Namaste Kitchen. I am offered water, I am offered tea. I feel at home.

Namaste’s chef and restaurant manager Sujan

Sujan’s journey from the Chitwan Province in Nepal to Raglan has been one of choice. Like many travellers that find themselves here amongst us, he is at home in a surrogate sense. At school, he learnt about the collective we, via Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. There is a connection. Ed and Norgay are legends who epitomise the spirit of two people. People of the land, fiercely proud and resilient, yet from different

ethnicities and faith. Sujan immigrated to New Zealand in 2008 and enrolled as a student in business studies at Wintec. Although homesick, he identified with a bi-culturalism that made him feel at peace. As a Hindu, he embraces the principles of Buddhism, so for him both religions survive amongst inevitable contradiction. In Nepal, a ten-year civil war from 1995 until 2005 between the incumbent government and Maoist revolutionaries created a stand still whereby development of much needed infrastructure; basics like sanitation and energy, came to halt. I visited Nepal in 2008 and whilst enamoured of the people and their spirit, the daily grind of constant power or transportation shutdown was confronting. Quite simply – one can’t be in a hurry. For self, for Buddha …for Krishna. Sujan tells me that Nepal is still trying to regain those lost ten years and that it is the indomitable spirit of the people, their belief that endures. This is a country without

government subsidies whereby life can be tough if you are born at the wrong end of the scale. The odds are against. However, in Nepalese culture, hospitality is paramount regardless. Manaakitanga. The menu at Namaste Kitchen reflects influence from all Asian cultures; although it is the Nepalese dishes that Sujan is rightly proud of and keen for me to sample. I ordered Aloo Tama and it was fantastic simply because I know it was made with love. Chef Bal Krishna, from Kathmandu has no less then 22 years experience in the kitchen, at home – in the Middle East, and here in New Zealand. Namaste Kitchen is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Sunday, dinner only Monday. And if you happen to find yourself in Silverdale, near Waikato University, there is a sister restaurant that has been feeding the student population for some years now. Brenda Rae Kidd

Shock as poplar stand near skatepark bowled Some Raglan residents are shocked at the felling last Friday of the stand of poplar trees at Kopua Reserve – one calling it vandalism – but ward councillor Clint Baddeley insists the work shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone.

Raglan Community Board chairperson Rodger Gallagher said this week he was extremely disappointed at the clear-felling, while longtime Raglan resident Cynthia Tucker was outraged at what she described as “council-instigated vandalism”. But Clint was unapologetic this week, saying there’d been a lot of complaints over the years of broken and falling-down trees that had become dangerous. He said the decision to fell them and “tidy up” the area was linked in to stage two of the adjacent skatepark, which was re-opened before Christmas. That decision last November by the Raglan Coastal Reserves Advisory Committee was a “wide open process”, he added, after council staff advised the trees were hazardous to the area and needed removing. Rodger Gallagher said on his Raglan.gen website that there were only about 20 hazardous trees and some deadwood that should have been removed. He said he had worked with local experts and council staff, advocating a “staged approach” so the poplars could be used as protection to establish native trees in the area. Meanwhile Cynthia Tucker, in a letter to the Chronicle, argued that the continued destruction of habitat at Te Kopua, where the original stand of trees was “at least double in size”, could only be harmful to the environment. “It will never revert to its natural state because of human encroachment,” she wrote. “Even with replanting … which would not have been necessary had the regrowth been left untouched and only trees at risk of falling been felled, it will

be many years before the natural habitat is restored enough to sustain the equivalent wildlife that was living there. “And let’s not forget the part these trees played in retaining the sand-dunes at the Opoturu estuary entrance,” she warned. It was confirmed this week the poplars were originally planted as a windbreak. Rodger Gallagher has also claimed on his website that Waikato District Council might have breached the Wildlife Act by chopping down the poplars and destroying a katipo habitat. Under changes to the law last year in which New Zealand’s most venomous spider became a protected species like the kereru and kiwi, the killing of the katipo – the website said – could now earn culprits jail time or a $100,000 fine. Whaingaroa Harbour Care’s Fred Lichtwark said the sand-dune area on the far side of the skatepark was a known habitat for the coastal-dwelling katipo spiders and their habitats have been protected by law since June last year. Clint told the Chronicle this week that the clash over felling the mature poplars – which are registered as a notable tree stand – was a governance and management issue. He said the advisory committee, which came out of the winding up of the Wainui Reserve Committee and was charged with looking after all reserves in Raglan, “made a decision and have given it to staff to carry out”. Council staff insisted to the Chronicle this week that they obtained a resource consent to remove the poplars in consultation with the community board. “The trees posed a health and safety issue … the extent of the broken, dying and already fallen trees made it necessary to remove them.” A spokesperson said there was no decision yet on how the area would be redeveloped, and the council would be seeking community input on that.

Animal Health Column For Raglan People + their Pets

CARING FOR YOUR NEW KITTEN When you bring home your new kitten, it may take a while for them to get used to you and your family and your house, so be patient and gentle. It is advisable for the first couple of days to keep your kitten confined to one room, making sure that it has a litter box, warm bedding, fresh food and water. Once it has settled gradually allow it to explore its new surroundings, whilst making sure it always has access to its litter tray – this will prevent unwanted mishaps.

KITTEN PLAY Join in the fun! Just 15-30minutes a day will strengthen the bond between you whilst keeping them physically and mentally stimulated resulting in a healthy, friendly and enjoyable companion. Kittens love to play with anything that they can pounce on or pat around. Cat toys do not need to be expensive to be highly entertaining!

FEEDING Kittens are carnivores and need the nutrients found in animal protein sources for their energy and tissue growth. Therefore it is imperative that they are fed a good quality food specifically formulated for kittens. It is suggested that you put fresh dry food down daily, and then offer two wet meals in the morning and evening.

Ruapuke draws party goers for music festival Another ‘Boardies and Bikinis’ Festival under the belt and what an awesome one it was. Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day, and from midday onwards, festival goers headed out to Ruapuke Motor Camp for an afternnoon of fun and to party on into the night. Tractor FM’s Boardies and Bikinis truly did cater for all. From a story teller tent for the kids and a mini lake to splash about in, to a great line up of musical entertainment to suit all tastes. Kate Martin kicked off with the first live act on the main stage with her acoustic set and sweet

vocals, followed by a host of great musical talent throughout the evening. Ashley Knox, Hand me Down’s, AK Samba, Jinja Cat, Zion Hill and Knights of the Dub Table, provided a brilliantly varied mix of sounds, and as the sun went down, the atmosphere was heightened by some awesome light show skills on and around the main stage. Tui Sound System rounded off the group acts for night before the Tractor DJ line up took over to provide sounds into the early hours.

Returning home to New Zealand to tour and release their second album ‘The Fourth’ in Summer 2011, Berlin based band An Emerald City’s sound has evolved and grown since the release of their debut Circa Scaria in 2009.

Recorded in a former communist radio station on the banks of the river Spree in East Berlin ‘The Fourth’ shows a band unafraid to explore new dimensions in sound and space. The band takes to the road over two months in the throws of a New Zealand summer playing 26 venues far and wide, but will officially open their tour on Thursday Feb 17th at the Yot Club in Raglan. Combining psychedelia and experimentation with Eastern scales and sounds from outer space, An Emerald City’s unique style has further developed and matured in the writing of ‘The Fourth’, which is an album very different from what they have produced before. Joining the tour for 14 of the shows, including Raglan, to coheadline are Auckland five piece THE CHECKS. They are fresh from winning a NZMA for best rock album of 2010, while still only in their early 20s and already veteran performers. This bluesy psychedelic explosion have played their way into becoming one of New Zealand’s

An Emerald City

most adrenalised, vital and consistently thrilling live acts. A double bill not to be missed, An Emerald City and The Checks will be the only show in town to be at on Thursday Feb 17th where psychedelia and blues and rock’n’roll will be the order of the night and the perfect accompaniment to a beautiful Raglan summer evening.

WIN WIN WIN We have 4 copies of ‘An Emerald City’s’ new album up for grabs and 1 double pass to their gig at Raglan’s YOT Club on Feb 17th. To enter simply go to the ‘Free Stuff’ page on Raglan Net and follow the instructions provided. Competition closes Mon 14 Feb.

5 Years & Under Bowls Champions! Yes, well....we growl at our children for playing in the rain, don’t we now? Although it wasn’t really raining, as such...it was more a drizzly mist sort of...and humid, rather wetting, then it got finer and just more humid...

But that did not put off the enthusiasm of the participants to become the Under 5 years Championship Pairs for 2011. In Championship events there is no ‘time limit’ and, for the Pairs, they have to play 18 ends, about 2 hours or so. It was really pleasing to see a full contingent of players taking part...just about everyone who was eligible to play did... Great going. In the Women’s section there were two pairs, and so they played ‘the best of three games’ to find the winning pair. Maureen Wahanga (Maws) and Beti Broome won the first game 23/15, and were ahead by seven points into the second game when Queenie Tukiri and Sue Russell started to come back at them. Queenie and Sue won the second set 19/14. So it was ‘all on’ for the third and final game. Again, Maws and Beti held a seven point lead, but in bowls ‘it isn’t over till the last bowl stops rolling’, and Queenie and Sue made the most of that statement, by winning the game 15/13. A great challenge . W.D. Congratulations, both of you. There were 5 sets of Pairs for the Men’s section, so they had to play the ‘round robin’ system. That means that each team had to play each other in the event. Three rounds were played on Saturday and two rounds on Sunday. The weather on Sunday was more pleasant to play in. Many of the games were not played through to the 18 ends because the scores were too far apart, that means that the losing side could not catch up (they didn’t have enough bowls left to score with over the last few ends!). It was great to see

so many of these newer players having the confidence to play the different shots required to take the shot. Good on you. Each team managed to score at least one win with two teams having three wins. These teams were Les Soanes & Murray Eddy and Phil Meek & Jim Ardern. They ended up playing each other on the last round, with Phil and Jim being the victors after sixteen ends, 24/3. Congratulatiions to you both. W.D. Good luck to the winners for the ‘Champion of Champions’ event to be played this weekend, 12th February. Queenie and Sue will be playing here in Raglan and Phil & Jim will be at Te Awamutu. Why not pop down to the greens and give some encouragement to our local players...it always helps. Meantime, happy bowling, Eileen Stephens

Phil Meek and Jim Ardern, left, discuss their game plan on their way to winning the Championship. John Trolove and Leo Jackson also have a ‘team talk’.

Great turnout for auction night Ray White Raglan ran a hugely successful auction last friday night with over one hundred people in attendance.

The Raglan Real Estate office was packed

Forty plus people filled the seats and lined the walls inside the Ray White office on Bow St with another sixty plus outside the door tiptoeing and listening with the help of the speakers which blasted the call of the auctioneer up and down the main street. Mr Bret Macargel played the bagpipes to lure people in and with the mist hovering over town that evening, a highland type ambience was created. Licensed auctioneer Julie Hanna conducted the proceedings.

The auction began with a quick charity auction for the Raglan Food Bank and then continued with the property auction with loud audience participation, as one property was sold after another. Those involved report that the auction was exciting entertainment as buyers battled it out with their bids Twelve properties were sold on the night ranging from a section at $55,000 to $560,000 for a one bedroom house overlooking Whale Bay. Julie Hanna from Ray White Raglan said ‘In this market when it seems there are reports that nothing is selling, Raglan once again seems to be the place equal to no other town in New Zealand’ .
