Youngsters set to raise game for representative side
Former All Black Arran Pene presented five local boys: Leroy Neels, Trent Robin, Mitchell Robertson, Reiki Ruawai and Nicolas Jeffcoat, with their official Hamilton Panthers uniform last Friday at the Raglan Rugby Club. The Panthers, along with nine other sub-union representative teams from the Waikato region will be competing in the Gwynne Shield tournament, taking place during the 16th-23rd of July in Cambridge. Children are chosen for the Under 55kgs Gwynne Shield teams through their school affiliations and the Panthers represent Waitetuna, Te Akau, Te Kowhai, Te Uku and Raglan. Panther’s coach, Koro Williams selected his team through a process of elimination, picking his team of 22 after a series of training camps that gradually whittled down the numbers. “They’re committed to the ball. They’re not afraid to tackle, they’re not afraid to run and they’ve got plenty of guts,” says coach Koro Williams of what drew his eyes to the Raglan players. The five boys have already played two season games as Panther’s team members and with their official induction will “look like a team and feel like a team,” says the coach. An achievement in itself to be selected into a representative team, the Gwynne Shield Tournament is also where the Waikato representative team is chosen to compete in a North Island tournament for the Under 13s. “If they play really well this week they might be chosen to play in the Roller Mills,” says Williams. The Roller Mills inter-regional tournament is the second oldest rugby tournament in the country and coach Koro Williams says, “this is where a lot of All Blacks have been, they’ve gone through this system.” Notable Waikato Roller Mills reps who went on to become All Blacks include: Arran Pene, Richard Kahui, Marty Holah, Warren Gatland, and Keven Mealamu as well as Quade Cooper, Wallabies flyhalf.

Vet clinic battles in vain to save birds blown ashore “looking quite perky”, said Moana. Some had even had a swim in a paddle pool filled with seawater, after being fed bits of salmon or sardines. But the efforts were all in vain as all the birds had died by this Monday.
But it was an “uphill battle” to save the prions, confessed vet nurse Moana Robb. While they busily blended fish smoothies to tubefeed the wee creatures suffering exhaustion, hypothermia and pneumonia, in the end none survived.
Many however had been brought in during the week either dead or dying, said head nurse Donna Rickard. Those that survived were put in a holding box and slowly warmed up with an electric blanket, while staff dosed them with electrolyte fluids and handfed them through a tube.
Only 32 of the 150 or so prions brought into the clinic – often by concerned locals finding them in their backyards – were still alive by Friday and at that stage were
A blended mix of seawater and salmon, sardines or squid was the standard diet, Donna said. The birds have been unable to feed properly on plankton and krill
offshore because of the prolonged storms, which have also meant they couldn’t rest on the ocean’s surface. Raglan resident and former DOC employee Rick Thorpe was impressed with how much effort Donna and the vet team put into trying to save the birds. Prions – New Zealand’s most abundant seabirds – sift salt water in much the same way as whales do, he explained, but days of being buffeted by gales had seen them suffer from winddamaged wings and salt water in their lungs. DOC Waikato area programme manager John Grumbley told the Chronicle the species had certainly suffered in one of the worst storms in recent years and thousands had been

Stranded seabirds filled the kennels and cat cages at Raglan Vet Clinic last week as staff tried desperately to save them after they’d been blown ashore in the wild stormy weather that relentlessly battered the coast.

Vet nurse Moana Robb feeding fish ‘smoothie’ to prion found littering Raglan’s coastline. Most were the broad-billed prion. Despite attempts to revive rescued birds, he added, the majority died because of stress from both exhaustion and dehydration.
Such storm events were a “natural occurrence” and despite the losses the species would recover, continuing their migrations southeast towards Stewart Island and the Chathams. Edith Symes
Everybody needs good neighbours – in a crisis Know your neighbour – that was the key message to emerge from a civil defence workshop held in Raglan last week. Raglan ward councillor Clint Baddeley told the 30-odd people who packed the town hall supper room for a combined workshop and summary of the new regional plan that the best safeguards in any civil defence emergency were for townsfolk to know their next-door neighbours and to be prepared to support each other and share resources if disaster should strike. Raglan Community Board chairman Rodger
Gallagher also stressed how important it was to be prepared locally and to get to know a nucleus of neighbours – establishing needs and sharing resources that could be called upon in an emergency.
“the Christchurch earthquakes woke people up. We were complacent till then.” “The board may need to look at pushing this theme,” he told those at the workshop once the importance of neighbourhood was identified during group discussions as

the common thread of survival. Clint said he was pleased so many people had turned out to the meeting – and to see representatives from local police, fire and ambulance services. “I’ve got every confidence in (local) police, fire, ambulance and civil defence services to go to where the needs arise,” he said at the end of the Thursday night meeting. Board member Linda Cole told the Chronicle that the Christchurch earthquakes had woken people up. “We were complacent till then.” The meeting included an overview by Waikato

area manager and local controller Paul Blewman of the revised Civil Defence emergency management group plan which is open for public comment until August 1. He pointed out the hazard identification list in the document was one of the main checklists to be considered by locals. Local emergency services would control and co-ordinate any emergency under the direction of Paul who also urged people to look out for each other. Losing sewerage in the suburbs during the Christchurch earthquakes was not a priority when
the central city was crumbling,” he said. “Individuals, families and communities need to do it (pull together) themselves.” And that meant households having enough food put away for at least three days’ survival, and a week’s supply of water. At the meeting it was also established that in a civil defence emergency the Raglan Fire Station siren was not an alert. To keep informed it was best to listen to local radio stations, which would be given messages if evacuation was considered necessary. Edith Symes

Raglan resident prepared to take a cut for fundraiser Raglan resident Renee Boyer-Willisson is in the market for hats. Most of us are wrapping up warm now that winter has finally arrived, but it’s going to feel even chillier for Renee on 28 July when she shaves her head, as a fundraiser for Hamilton toddler Chace Topperwien, who is battling an aggressive form of leukaemia. Renee’s daughter, Ember, attends Campus Crèche in
Hamilton where Chace also went until his diagnosis in March this year, just before his second birthday. Chace is a battler, but if the current round of chemotherapy doesn’t work, his only hope will be finding an appropriate overseas drug trial. Fundraising has kicked up a gear to try to find the $90,000 the family would need to fund a place on a trial. Hearing about any child with a life-threatening illness is difficult, but for Renee, knowing Chace personally and remembering him as a lively,
healthy toddler made her determined to do something to help. “It’s hard to imagine what Chace and his family are going through” she says. “I just wanted to feel like there was something useful I could do.”
Renee and PhD student Naomi Simmonds will be shaving their heads as part of a fundraising breakfast and auction on the morning of 28 July, to be held at the Unviersity of Waikato where Renee works. Donations can be made through IndieGoGo site:
www.indiegogo.com/ChaceTopperwien-fundraising or directly to Chace Topperwien Fundraising, ASB account number 12 3217 0163111 00. Please reference ‘Renee Shave’ to allow donations to be tracked. Renee is also collecting cash donations which will be deposited after the head shave. Although Renee is feeling a little nervous, she’s also looking forward to having a low-maintenance ‘do’. “And besides, it’s just hair; it’ll grow back!”
A new paradigm for raising children Introduction to Nonviolence in Parenting: An Empathy-Based Approach to Raising Children OK, OK,…. I can hear you all a mile away, “I’m not violent! I don’t need to go to these workshops!” “Ehara au i te tangata tukino tamariki, patu wahine ranei! Hei aha moku enei wananga!”…. let me explain/tena kia whakamaramatia e au. The word nonviolence describes a commitment to treat oneself and others with deep respect. Ko te ara ke tenei o te maungarongo. It is a belief in the essential goodness of all living things. He ara kawea i runga i te whakapono ki te tapu o nga mea katoa. Nonviolence is an all-encompassing perspective that includes our thoughts, feelings, words and actions. He mea ahu mai i te whatumanawa, i te ngakau o te tangata ka rangona i roto i ana kupu korero, a, ka kitea i roto i ana mahi. Last year in August , worldrenowned early childhood teacher and Founder of the Echo Parenting & Education Center [EPEC], Ruth Beaglehole, visited Whaingaroa and facilitated two workshops based
on her foundation work of nonviolent parenting. Fragments of deep healing were revealed and received during that time and have led many within our community into an active pursuit of understanding and practice of this new paradigm for raising their children. The seeds of a broader vision were sown. A desire to run further workshops and to develop a programme that would be comfortable for whanau in our own communities to access, led to several funding proposals.

Exploring our-selves and our children through a lens of empathy and understanding.

Seaside service pays tribute to Trust urges public to attend meeting community stalwart
Service held at Raglan Surf Club
Ngarunui beach and the sound of the sea provided a fitting backdrop on Monday for a funeral which brought hundreds to the Raglan Surf Life Saving Clubhouse to pay tribute to wife and mother Janet Young, who died last week after a short illness. The club’s been something of a second home to Janet and her family for more than a decade. Janet herself was club treasurer for a time, and always helping out in the kitchen or down at the beach, while husband Kevin has helped train up the rookies. The couple
have also been heavily involved over the years with junior soccer in Raglan, again through their children Sian, Eddie and Mair. Kaumatua Sean Ellison, who led the service for Janet, 47, said that for someone who devoted her life to her family and to others “it hardly seems fair it should be cut so short and so soon”.
The Raglan Hospital Charitable Trust is having a Extraordinary General meeting at the Fire Station on Monday 25th at 7.00 pm.
wedding in 1990, told those gathered at the ceremony that Janet had wanted them all to know how “deeply moved” she was by Raglan’s support for herself and her family during the illness. “It was all appreciated,” he said. He told too of Janet’s “quirky” sense of humour, and how she always enjoyed a good laugh. Friend and neighbour Lisa Thomson talked of Janet’s bravery throughout her illness. Lisa said she remained “strong and steadfast … and although her body betrayed her, she continued to be aware and mindful of her family”. Local

The purpose of the meeting is to advise interested members of the public of the situation we find our selves in and the options we face. The background to the Trust is: In 1989 the District Health Board told the people of Raglan that its Hospital was to be closed as it was no longer viable. A public meeting was held and a large number of concerned residents attended. DHB representatives also attended and when asked how the Hospital could be saved they stated “by raising $200,000.00” (a huge sum in 1989). A Trust was formed with Representatives from various groups and they set about raising this money. A further $400,000.00 was borrowed for upgrades and development. The years since have been a constant struggle financially and the hospital was subsequently leased. Approx two years ago the bulk of this debt was repaid after sale of the last of the units in the Sunset Heights development. In order to meet current DHB
requirements and appropriate bed numbers (for business viability) the facility now needs to be expanded. Therefore the Trust once again faces asking the people of Raglan to assist financially, raising funds and borrowing money or alternatively, selling the facility. Our Trust deed allows us to sell as long as proceeds continue to be used for the welfare of the elderly, disabled and sick of Raglan. The Current lessee has offered to buy the facility off us at a price above a valuation we obtained last month. It is the Trusts position at this stage to accept this offer as long as a Covenant is put on the title to the effect that the premises will remain as a Rest Home and Hospital. As we are currently spending a large part of our income on maintenance and upgrades of the facilities, we feel we could do more for Raglan if we were to sell and become a philanthropic Trust by using the income from our investments assisting these people in our Community If you wish to know more or have an opinion on our proposal please come to the Meeting.

Divvy foothills alive to the sound of Latin music Stodgy old latin may not sound like the makings of a popular evening class but, as the small farming settlement of Waitetuna has found, Latin music is something else again. Waitetuna School on a Wednesday night is regularly coming alive to the sound of Latin music – with local mum and dance enthusiast Sarah Tunnicliffe enticing teens and lifestylers like herself in for a high-energy dose of Zumba. It started with just a handful of followers back in April, says Sarah, when she decided to start up her own classes to save people having to travel into Hamilton or Raglan for a fitness fix. But it’s become “very popular” around Waitetuna since, she adds, with 10 to 15 locals now following the aerobic-style, Latin-inspired dance programme. “Zumba got me personally back into fitness,” explains Sarah who’s “always danced”. It was two years ago however that she first started heading once-a-week into Christine Simmons Dance Studio in Hamilton and got hooked on Zumba. Ceroc – a mix of salsa and jive – had been more her thing till then. Now she’s even getting Te Uku
locals along to Tuesday night and Wednesday morning classes, held in the community hall opposite Te Uku School. .It’s “pretty high energy” stuff, she concedes, but the programme can be tailored to suit. Sarah’s a licensed instructor, having trained through the Zumba Corporation in Auckland which is allied to the international movement, and maintained membership to keep up-to-date on the latest moves. The programme was created in Florida in the ‘90s by a Colombian immigrant – dancer and choreographer Alberto “Beto” Perez who replaced aerobics music with Latin, and improvised. The Colombian word Zumba means to move fast and to have fun. “It’s just too much fun,” enthuses Sarah of the hour-long sessions, plus it’s a great cardio workout and develops balance and coordination. Edith Symes *Zumba classes are held at Waitetuna School on Wednesdays, 6pm; and at Te Uku Hall on Tuesdays, 6.30pm, and Wednesdays, 10am. *Classes are also run by Kim Ashcroft at Raglan Union Church in Stewart Street, Mondays and Wednesdays, 7-8pm.

Pigs n’ eels targeted in Te Mata hunting comp Pigs weighing in at more than 100 pounds each, a whopper 5.4kg eel caught on local farmland and “fantastic” weather turned the fourth annual Te Mata Hunting Competition last weekend into a great event, says organiser Amanda Sullivan.
A one-time hunter herself, Amanda’s now the driving force behind the event which is run by the 180-strong Te Mata Social Club. And this year a bit of kids’ eeling was thrown into the mix, proving a popular distraction with about 20 eels caught locally by the 20 young entrants.

A good 30 entries from as far north as Tuakau and as far south as Kawhia came in for the pighunting, says Amanda. But only three local pig-hunters entered into the fun this year, including Mike Jesson from Waingaro who never misses and picks up a prize every time, she adds.

Matariki Short Film Festival this week
Invincible Roosters on a roll
After two weeks of horrible storms the heavens parted leaving a perfect baby blue sky with a little breeze, lovely for players and spectators alike. On arrival at the Te Kopua Domain (Roosters Home Field) the rival team (The Hackers) were already going through their warm-up routine and looked eager to play. The Hackers were short a few players so The Roosters donated a spare player to promote a closer game. With the teams set, play started with a “hiss and a roar”. The Hackers kicked off and summoned all of their strength in an attempt to purchase an early goal which was thwarted by The Roosters defence. After about ten minutes
Another great weekend of movies coming up at the Old School in Raglan, with two more showings of the sell-out documentary Last Paradise on Friday 22 at 4.30pm and 7.30pm. This movie, featuring extreme sports in New Zealand including archival footage of surfing in Raglan, has drawn full houses at every showing so far. Then a treat of another kind on Saturday when the Matariki Short Film Festival 2011 comes to town. Curated by the Wairoa Maori Film Festival in association with the New Zealand Film Commission, the programme is made up of seven contemporary short films celebrating our unique culture and heritage. ‘See what love can do’ is a music video featuring Bella Kalolo and the Otara choir. ‘The Winter Boy’ explores the troubled relationship between a mother and son played by Tahei Simpson and Te Aho Whitu. Merata Mita is the producer of ‘Taku Rakua E’. Based on a song said to have been written by the revered Tuhoe composer Mihitekapua when she was over 100 years old. ‘Redemption’ directed by Katie Wolfe is based on a love story of two young Maori by Phil Kawana, The cast includes Pana Hema-Taylor, Sera Henare and Karlos Drinkwater. ‘Zero’ directed by Leo Woodhead and Sam Peacock’s ‘Manurewa’ explore the dark side of life in Aotearoa New Zealand. ‘Day Trip’ starring Tuhoe Isaac describes a day off with a difference. Two of these films are not suited to a young audience, so entry will be restricted to those over 13 years. The programme is showing at the Old School Arts Centre in Stewart Street on Saturday 23 July, at 4.30pm and 7.30pm. Judith Collins
The Roosters soaked the pressure with some tidy passing and thoughtful play, opening up an opportunity to score first, which was converted successfully by Glen “Paycheque” Piewarmer who went on to score three out of the five goals scored in this match.
The Hackers returned fire twice but their defence was a little “out of sorts” so The Roosters were able to outscore rather than defending a small lead. With perfect pitch conditions, both teams played a tactical passing style and there were no “niggles” or aggression to speak of and an entertaining fast game unfolded.
Cosmopolitan Club and six local teams certainly did enjoy playing in the sunshine, with no wind, and a slight shower later in the day.
Our ‘traditional’ Hangi meal was served, after being cooked to perfection for 4 ½ hours or so, and really was enjoyed by all. The shock of seeing the sun must have affected a number of players during the day because the ‘the Wrong Bias Bell’ was rung so many times at the end of the day! Mmm. Who would have believed on Thursday that it would be possible to hold our July Hangi Tournament on Saturday 16th July.
Two teams scored ‘zero points’ and this is generally known as a ‘down trow’ achievement, but they must have been really quick with their actions, cause no one saw it! Mmmm again. You got off lightly.

OPINION: The Perils of Stuff. by Ian McKissack There is a real problem in knowing whose propaganda to listen to. The business people insist that for the economy to stay nice and warm we must support production and buy, buy, and buy. In other words modern life is about getting stuff, and then more stuff. If you are running out of space, throw out the stuff you’ve grown weary of and get some new compact stuff. You have to listen carefully to hear a little voice that
says ‘but what about the piles of waste you are creating with your thrown out stuff’, or the even smaller voice that says ‘ but what happens when we run out the basics we need to make stuff’. The joy of getting stuff is a modern myth and most of us believe in it, particularly if you are very rich when there seems to be a need to get even bigger and better stuff to convince yourself how grand you are. Personally I am well insulated against stuff gathering. The
Scottish blood in my veins helps to ensure that I watch my baw-bees and part with them reluctantly. But despite this canny resistance to acquiring stuff I seem to live in clutter, stuff everywhere, I don’t know how it got there. Part of the clutter isn’t my stuff, it belongs to libraries or DVD shops and if I put it away tidily out of sight I might forget to return it in time and that would mean fines. More baw-bees down the drain. But there is stuff that is mine, and I could replace. But looking round I can remember
Letter GRATEFUL THANKS To the community of Te Mata, for the assistance given at 5:30, Wednesday 6 July to the lady in the Black Nissan who had had an accident. The support of everyone made a very frightening situation easier, God Bless you all. Peter and Jenny West Haumoana St, Rotorua where nearly everything came from and often who or what influenced my decision. As a result I can trace the history of my life and acquisitions over the past thirty years. You can’t get that sense of personal history if
you keep getting new stuff. I am afraid that this resistance to buying new stuff means that I am single-handedly ruining the national economy. What a pity.
‘New’ women emerge from clothes swap evening ethical behaviour “which people would want to participate in anyway, even without a green motive”, says queen of swap parties Lucy Shea, who promotes the movement through UK sustainability communications agency Futerra.
She even has a word for it – “ecofabulousness”—but that sounds altogether too poncy a description, even if I haven’t had my new bohemian beanie off for days now. That’s only because it’s still so freezing. Edith Symes

There’s nothing like a little retail therapy to shake off the winter blues – unless it happens to be a shopping outing that costs you absolutely zilch. It was a wet and wild night in Raglan last Tuesday – haven’t they all been of late – but for the dozen or so hardy souls who ventured out to Raglan Community House for a clothes swap extravaganza. We went home new women, or at least feeling that way, and despite the thunder and hail without that drained feeling you might get from a visit to Chartwell or The Base. After two hours of rummaging and socialising I left, running through the rain to my parked car, but with a revamped wardrobe and none the poorer for it. I felt like a new woman wearing an avocado-green beanie interlaced with grey “spidery” detail, mustard-yellow belt buckled on my old jeans and navy knit jumper with its gorgeous flowery pattern reminiscent of an earlier decade. A
bit
“bohemian”
in
fact,
commented my partner approvingly as he reached for the last incense stick and the mung bean recipes. I liked that. But that wasn’t all I’d scored. My “new” retro red and black shoulderbag overflowed with preloved clothing: two summer skirts, two pairs of threequarterlength pants and some ballerinapink scuff-style shoes that have me hankering for warmer carefree days again. The shoes – hardly worn – had been someone else’s fantasy, of course. But they were always just a little too wide, said Jacqui Forbes of Xtreme Waste, and they kept slipping off. So it was her loss and my gain. And the beanie was a welltravelled piece of knitwear that had belonged to local teacher Sheree Gibson. But she was now happy to part with it, finding other treasures among the mountain of clothes at our feet. Jacqui, too, reckons she “scored heaps”. It’s the communityminded, environmentally-friendly, ethical way of sharing resources,
she observed very good-naturedly as we women wrestled and jostled ever so slightly less goodnaturedly for the best gear in the house. The clothes swap extravaganza was a joint Community House/ Xtreme Waste initiative, and a first for Raglan. The idea is that everybody brings a bag of clothes they no longer want, and leaves with what they do want. A winwin, as the politicians say. Hosting events where you can shed your unwanted clothes and try on someone else’s also looks to be a hot fashion trend overseas, if internet websites are any guide. But overseas the practice has taken on the more upmarket name of ‘swishing’, which apparently means to rustle clothes from friends. Not simply bringing along a hoodie, a few pairs of shoes, that kind of thing. Now they’re holding their clothes swaps to a backdrop of music, and maybe with wine or jewellery and other accessories added into the mix. The trend’s a fine example of
