Raglan Volunteer Coastguard “wouldn’t survive” without support from the community, says president Wally Hawken, who was delighted last week to receive a cheque for more than $4000 from an annual charity auction held early this month by the main local campground.

“We want to express our sincere appreciation to Kopua Holiday Park management for its effort,” he told the Chronicle. “Also for the support from all over the Raglan community – we literally wouldn’t survive without it.” The extra funds will go into the organisation’s operational account to keep resources going, added Wally, mindful the 11-metre twin hull Coastguard boat and jetski together use well over $1000 in fuel each month. There are also other ongoing costs, he adds, which are financed too through donations and local fundraising. Holiday park assistant manager Jo Hamblyn says the auction is a “feel-good” event which this year saw a massive crowd bid generously for everything from campground t-shirts at $75 to nine unframed prints donated by Raglan West artist Jane Galloway, which fetched a “whopping” $1000 in total. A Piwiwiwi campervan four-day rental went for $400 and an outsized twin meat pack from the local butchery was sold for more than $200. Sunset cruises and surf lessons were also up for grabs. Not one of the town’s business-owners from the previous year’s list hesitated when asked to contribute goods or services to the charity auction, Jo says. “And there were lots of new ones (contributors).” Raglan Real Estate’s Julie and Dave Hanna played auctioneers at the campground for the evening, and considering bidders came mostly from the camp’s 1000 holidaymakers on site it was an “awesome” effort, said Jo.

Billy for the win. Despite the distance between himself and Billy he was still stoked to make the final. “It shows me that I have still got it and still can do it� said a more than happy Chris. Mount Maunganui surfer Tim O’Connor who is currently based in Raglan placed third in the final. He surfed the whole 25 minutes on his own at the north end of the beach where every other surfer had competed during the day but the waves simply did not cooperate. Over in other divisions, Poulter brothers, Ben and Sam, took the top two spots in the U18 Longboard final. It was older brother Ben who claimed the title, the two brothers defeating local Piha surfers Tane Wallis and Tunui Wano during the final heats.

Older sister Alexis Poulter also did well in the Women’s longboard division placing second ahead of past favourites Mischa Davis (3rd) and Belinda Goodwin (4th). All-round waterman Daniel Kereopa just missed out on a Stand-Up Paddleboard national title, placing second behind Shayne Baxter of Christchurch. Raglan also had strong representation in the older divisions with Geoff Hutchison taking out the Grand Masters title (Over 45s), Jeremy Hughes coming second in the Legends (Over 50s) and Deane Hishon coming third in the Veterans (Over 40s). The next event on the Hyundai Surf Tour 2012 will be held at Sandy Bay from the 3rd to 6th of February. Surfing NZ

And it’s a marae-based service for the whole community, not just for Maori, she adds. Meantime at the February 10 whanau ora day – a follow-up to one last June – organisers hope to attract a wide crosssection of the Raglan community for free health checks and information from health, housing and education providers, both local and Hamilton-based. Kids too will be catered for on the day with face painting and a bouncy castle among the activities. Edith Symes

The young 22 year old is ranked 79th in the world and is New Zealand’s third highest ranked surfer on the international circuit. Billy starts 2012 on another high after beating 11time world champion Kelly Slater in 2011. Billy notched up several excellent scores in quick succession in the final, his two highest, 8.90 and 8.20 point rides, using his impeccable backhand surfing on the lefthanders of Piha Bar. “It’s a good to start to the year winning a national title, I’m going overseas soon so it’s good for my confidence and everything like that but yeah, at the moment, a national title, I can’t believe it� said Billy. “Every heat is hard, I just wanted to catch the best waves out there, I saw some on the bar and wanted to get them and it paid off.� It was a big decision for Billy to surf up the beach. He and fellow finalist Chris Malone (Gis) were the first surfers of the day to do so. However, with the outgoing tide and building swell, the strategy paid off handsomely. “I was going wave for wave with Chris and I knew Timmy was down the beach but I was feeling confident after the first wave and yeah it all just happened.� 35 year old Chris Malone (Gis) finished runner up in the final scoring 9.5 out of 20 points requiring a combination of waves to challenge

Local festival setup for revellers Celebrate Waitangi Weekend in style by attending “Boardies and Bikinis’ - a two day music event at the beautiful Ruapuke Beach Motor Camp, 20 minutes west of Raglan. ‘Boardies and Bikinis’ is a safe family festival that attracts a number of quality home grown and international acts. The festival is a BYO (food and drinks) with the use of full camping facilities. This year to maximize space campers will be required to drop off their gear and park up at the top of the site - only 5 min’s walk down to the camp ground. Camping with your vehicle will be also available up the top of the site. Boardies & Bikinis operates a zero waste policy. Everything is recycled nothing goes to waste. This year glass will be banned from the party areas so festival goers are encouraged to bring drinks that are not in glass bottles and plastic containers that can be used to drink out of. There is extra security this year to secure the site from petty thieves and

fence jumpers who will be dealt with by the police. Cash only at the camp site, as there are no eftpos or credit facilities. Pre sale ticket’s are $80.00 or $120.00 on the gate (includes camping fees).Tickets can be purchased from GAG Surf Shop, Raglan Video Store, Te Uku Roast Office, www.iticketexpresss. co.nz, eventfinder.co.nz . Ticket numbers are strictly limited each year and are expected to sell out - so don’t miss out. Children under 12 are free. Under 16, half price (id required).

Trails of visitors eyed as artists open up studios Raglan artists putting the finishing touches to preparations for the Open Studio Weekend starting Saturday have their fingers crossed for an “avalanche” of visitors and buyers this time, thanks to better advertising and signage than for last summer’s successful inaugural event. Art trail administrator Jacqueline Anderson says a significant sum’s been poured into advertising nationwide, with 7000 brochures also directing art buffs to 38 studios from Waitetuna to Whale Bay, and it’s now over to the artists themselves to “take ownership” and help turn the town into an art destination. It would be a major coup, she told the Chronicle at a pre-launch art trail get-together at the Old School, to see the Open Studio Weekend grow to become an iconic annual event like Waiheke Island’s wine festival. “It’s about bringing all the artists together for the benefit of Raglan,” she said. Held over Auckland Anniversary Weekend both this year and last, the three-day event also just happens to coincide with an annual fishing contest at Manu Bay organised by Raglan Sport Fishing Club. “Perhaps the guys can go fishing while the girls look at art,” suggested Jacqueline. If there was any spinoff it wouldn’t be the first time the arts trail has gained leverage off a sporting event, though last time it was a massive international one – September’s Rugby World Cup, when a lower budget open studio weekend was organised to lure here some of the hordes of cup fans in Hamilton for the All Blacks vs Japan match. Meantime several local artists visited nine fellow artists’ studios in a three-hour recce last Saturday to familiarise themselves with the variety of art and craft on offer, which includes everything from pottery, painting and photography to textiles, bone carving and jewellery-making. While the aim of the exercise was to ensure artists could talk knowledgeably to visitors about

the sort of art on show at other studios, they also found it a privilege to visit others’ workspaces. Whale Bay painter Miranda Jane Caird, who works in isolation, saw the Open Studio Weekend as a great way of “connecting” with Raglan’s arts community, and particularly enjoyed that aspect last January. Jewellery-maker Sarah Steed said the weekend was a very good opportunity to get people to take your business card and follow up, while potter Clare Wimmer welcomed what she described as the “amazing” exposure. As a direct result of last summer’s weekend her work was publicised on the CleverBastards website. Photographer Stuart Mackenzie – who works from home in Raglan West with partner Jane Galloway and her son Julian Godfrey, both painters – agreed the exposure was great but also found it a little scary contemplating the possible avalanche of art buffs this time around after the trio still saw more than 200 through their doors the same weekend last year. The Old School Arts Centre attracted 200 to 300 visitors on each of the three days of last summer’s Open Studio Weekend. Several artists will again be at work within the Stewart Street building this coming weekend. As in 2011, artists will keep a tally of visitors to their studios so the Raglan Community Arts Council which runs the event can report back to funders – among them Creative Communities NZ, the Waikato District Council and major sponsor the Raglan Land Company. The event has been advertised this time around in national magazines Life & Leisure, Artzone and Artists Alliance. Turquoise and pink flags and posters will also be placed outside every participating studio and gallery. Arts council chair Roger Gallagher has stressed to artists the importance of signage. “Make it easy (for visitors) to find your front door.” Edith Symes

Clay Fiesta at the Old School Fun and fundraising will go hand in hand at the Old School Arts Centre when the ever-growing group of people who use the Clay Shed pottery invites the community to ‘have a look’ and ‘have a go’.

Water Tip #6

Dr Oliver Russell Dr Gill Brady Dr Marcia Mitchley 10 Bankart Street, Raglan

can’t It Probably Won’t Heal In keep Time up? www.raglanphysio.co.nz

Typical water use at home is about 25% in the bathroom, 25% in the kitchen and laundry, 30% for toilet flushing, and 20% outdoors – so there are water-saving opportunities everywhere! Prepare for water meters! Come into WEC for advice, tips and technology for water conservation. Save money and time!

The aim is to raise funds to ugrade the large kiln which is available to all who work with clay but don’t have their own fully equipped studios. The biggest user group are the many children who flock to the after-school clay classes at the Old School, and who have produced some amazing work over the past two years. Now a growing number of adults are coming in to use the kiln and other equipment available in the Clay Shed for a very modest fee While the present kiln is still functional, its life is limited, and working with clay is one activity that literally turns to dust if the clay is not fired, sometimes several times before a piece is completed and decorated. We need to raise several thousand dollars to purchase a kiln that will meet present and future demand. The fiesta, on the weekend of 18-19 February will include a gallery exhibition of work by local potters, some demonstrations, and an opportunity to “have a go”, decorating hand-made tiles for an installation in the grounds of the Old School. Exhibition pieces will all be for sale, there will be a market stall of smaller items, raffles, and a caféstyle refreshment bar. The exhibition will continue in the gallery during the week after the fiesta itself, and the tile making for the installation is set to go on for several months, and will include schools and other groups. So mark the Clay Fiesta on your calendars and look out for more details over the next 3 weeks. If you would like to help in some way, contact Susanne 825 8800, Jodi 825 7319, Judith 825 0550 or the Old School 825 0023. Judith Collins

the ‘other side’ of the harbour, has previously been Te Akau Station during the 1900’s, housing many blocks of farms that spanned right up to Port Waikato. Looking across now, you may be able to spot ‘Juniper Whispers Seaside Estate,’ a pale blue building nestled above the pancake rocks, the ancient limestone coast that borders the inner harbor. Featuring modern amenities and a beautifully landscaped outdoor area, it could be said that this home designed by James Corn of JC Designs, is the best of both worlds. Sitting on a 6-acre site, this property features many of the bonuses of making the leap to the other side of the harbor. Surrounded by native bush, peaceful and only a quick boat ride or paddle over to the Raglan town centre, the properties that are being put on the market definitely offer a tranquil retreat from the busy crowds during summer. You can see the residents that have already caught on with local business owners, parents and children alike seen making the commute over the strip of Akau Wharf water from the ‘other

side’ on anything from kayaks or paddleboards to dinghy’s and yachts. The skipper of the Harmony lll and owner of Raglan Harbour Cruises, Ian Hardy, can also be seen ferrying residents across from Te Akau, often mooring his boat near the wharf at the end of Bow Street. Of the ferry that had previously run, John Lawson says that during the early 1900’s the local blacksmith’s daughter would sit at Te Akau is affectionately referred to as the ‘other side’ the workshop on Cliff Street waiting for a With the area’s popularity on the rise, there smoke signal that meant the ferry needed to go are sure to be some rare and exquisite properties across to pick up residents. snapped up during this weekend.

Sports fishing lures anglers into the deep Last Wednesday and Thursday saw local boats out 60m west at the ‘Trench’ successfully catch four marlin. Boats Paraphernalia, Flying Dutchman and Attitude (2) were the successful vessels. It was January 1989 that angler Malcolm Cowie out of Manu Bay, in a small open tinnie, caught a marlin that really got the Raglan Billfish Game fishing seasons going. Raglan Sports Fishing Club has recorded a number of great catches, fishes tagged and released since then. It is darkest Africa off our coast each season, we are still learning what is out there,

like the last few season with good recorded catches of mahimahi. All species of tuna of good size are caught too. Raglan has no depth off the coast where these fish are caught - we are not in the Waihau Bay league where there is a huge drop off close in shore. Many of our fish are taking lures in just 40 metres of water. The Hubert Billfish Tournament has been running for several seasons now. Supporting sponsors are the Raglan Sports Fishing Club and Top Catch Tackle and Bait Shop in Hamilton. It was upon the death of their father that Barbara and Graham Hubert’s family decided to provide a Fishing Club trophy and money to promote sport fishing out of Raglan. The Hubert competition runs for each years fishing season. It has been very successful - getting more game boats out on the water each year. This year the prize is $3000 cash, plus fishing tackle to the value of $1000 from Top Catch.

The Tournament is run under IGFA rules and further details are available from the Raglan Sports Fishing Club. CURRENT LOCAL AREA FISHING REPORT: Snapper, kahawai and Tagged striped marlin caught by Aaron Scott on the vessel ‘Scotty’ - about to be released. gurnard are still being Manu Bay Contest 2011 caught in good numbers along our coastline at the Kayaker’s have reported seeing big kingies 40m mark. Not a lot of size in the snapper, all 2/3kgs. Certainly (they think) chasing fish just in the last two there is plenty of good size kahawai. Water hours of daylight in the bays opposite the temperatures are 20 degrees. Tuna, now at town. I am not surprised to hear this as we had 60m plus, and they along with the billfish one last week down in Lorenzen Bay. Remember Sunday the 29th January is the will be working closer to our shores over the Manu Bay fishing day and in February the next few weeks. Crayfish abound along the 19th to the 26th is the Rollo’s Mixed Classic shores at the back of the mountain and out on both run by the Raglan Sports Fishing Club. Jacksons and Aotea reefs. Flounder are still up the harbour, try some of the secluded Bays Again play it safe and get out on that water. like Kirks Bay at the entrance of the Narrows. The Raglan Wharf Seagull.

Talented touch teens seek a hand to get to nationals Having the right touch combined with commitment to the game – with training three times a week in Hamilton – has paid off for two Raglan teens who have been selected to compete at the NZ Junior Touch Nationals in Nelson in March. It’s Jo Meek’s fourth rep year for Waikato and Aragorn PaekauHeke’s first, and while the boys have played regionally it’s the national challenge that’s got them really excited. Aragorn, who’s also played Waikato rep rugby league, reckons he loves “everything” about touch and Jo particularly likes being part of its six-player sides which, he says, give greater scope for moves than the rugby he’s played previously. Both 14-year-olds say they got hooked on the sport back at Raglan Area School before moving on to secondary schools in Hamilton. They are now part of the recently selected 16-strong Waikato U15

8 RAGLAN Chronicle

Boys Touch team, coached by Gavin Downes whose Waikato team last year placed third at the nationals. Three boys from that team were also chosen to represent NZ in the latest Youth Development Tour held in Australia. Sporting glory however comes at a price, with players now needing to raise $1400 each to help cover the cost of the three-day comp in mid-March. The Raglan pair – both guitarists – plan to busk downtown, and to get into the new “scratchy” fundraising craze from America which has people donating amounts from 50c to $3 through a special Scratch & Help booklet. Jo’s and Aragorn’s families are right behind the boys’ fundraising efforts and are hoping too to attract team sponsorship, possibly through local businesses and on a wider scale by advertising through Radio Tainui. *For sponsorship deals contact Shelley Meek on 825 7256

Why are Maui’s Dolphins so special? The world’s smallest dolphin, Maui’s are critically endangered with only about 100 dolphins remaining… One human-related death would be one too many. It is likely that the species would not survive the loss. Why? Maui’s dolphins are slow breeders, and breed just enough to replace the number of dolphins that die naturally. Maui’s dolphins live on the West Coast of the North Island from Dargaville to New Plymouth in shallow coastal waters where they are vulnerable to fishing nets and boats. Maui’s also suffer from degradation of their habitat by pollution, overfishing, climate change, and more.

If you see a stranded or dead Maui’s dolphin, please report it right away to the Department of Conservation - on 0800 DOC HOT (0800 362 468). To report illegal set nets or other fisheries infringements, call the Ministry of Fisheries on 0800 4 POACHER (0800 4 76224).

Seed Of The Month: Purslane Succulent, zesty tasting leaves and drought resistance make this an attractive option for the summer salad garden. Sow seed every few weeks through summer for continuous supply. Wild purslane (see pic) grows locally in sandy paddocks, in cracks in the pavement and on driveways. Collect seed from wild plants and scatter in your garden if you’d like to have it show up every summer. Cultivated variety available at seed bank

Maui’s are only just over a meter long and have a rounded dorsal fin (shaped like a Mickey Mouse ear!). They hang out in pods of one to five. Most dolphins are seen by boaters and surfers. In the summer they come quite close to shore. Keep your eye out for Maui’s Dolphins when you’re on the water, you might be fortunate enough to see one near Raglan! ‘

Veg of the Month: Magenta Spreen Also known as ‘Lambs Quarters’ or Pink Goosefoot, this spectacular leafy plant, native to mountainous areas of India, grows over a metre high and produces a sparkling, bright pink powder on its leaves. This powder can also be easily rubbed off to make for fun garden games. It is a healthy and vigorous grower and may also be a good compost crop. The leaves are delicious raw or cooked
