This week the Chronicle caught up with Narina Hurst. How did you come up with your DJ name? This was a nick name I was given Leanne Waite when I started work. Local - Registered Midwife Where do you currently DJ? I DJ at the local Community Radio station in the town hall, Bow Street. Personal, supportive How did you first get involved in midwifery care Radio? I really wanted to be a DJ years years Clinic Raglan & ago in Invercargill (my home town). I Hamilton entered a competition at 4ZA and came second. The winner was offered a job. Mobile 0274 828 021 When we returned to Raglan after 10 Email: waite@waikatomidwives.co.nz years away, my husband was a volunteer at our local library. He was chatting to a gentleman about volunteering and was asked if he would like to be a DJ. He said no, pointed to me and said but SHE WeatherMap - New Zealand weather will! forecasts Who were some of your influences when you started? My parents loved to party and were
musical so I grew up hearing all types of music. I belonged to Repertory and Operatic Societies so I enjoy music from the shows. What kinds of music do you like playing or what issues do you like covering? As a christian I enjoy the positive words and beat of country gospel music, also contempory christian music, that has a positive message to encourage others. I have had a lot of negative events happen in my life and want to encourage others with a positive message that things can change for the better and if feeling a little blue, a little humor thrown into the mix surely can’t be a bad thing. We have lots to be thankful for in this country. What is the best thing about DJing? I was playing my show one afternoon and a lady came in and sat down in the armchair. She listened to the music with her eyes closed, for some time then said, “that was so lovely, I needed that today”, and left. That is what keeps me going on air. There are people out there who need encouraging and if they can find that in the music I play, that makes my day. What is the most challenging? Keeping it fresh and not being too boring! What in your memory has been your best show? They are all good. What song never fails to get you on the dancehttp://www.weathermap.co.nz/?p=ragla floor?

Fern scoops US book awards
R
aglan illustrator Margery Fern and her author sister have scooped three awards and a truckload of accolades in the 2014 Purple Dragonfly Book Awards in the United States. Margery, deputy principal at Waitetuna School, and her sister, Jennifer Somervell of Oxford in Canterbury, won multiple awards for their new children’s book The New Old Truck, just three weeks after launching the book in Michigan, United States. The New Old Truck won first place in the Picture Books 6 & Older section, 2nd place in Historical Fiction and gained Honourable Mentions in Picture Books 5 & Younger and Best Interior Design sections. Keeping it all in the family, Margery’s daughter, graphic designer Ezra Andre, designed the book and won the coveted Best Cover Design award. Their first book in the ‘Tales From The Farm’ series, The Day Dad Blew up the Cowshed, also scored Honourable Mentions in Picture Books 6 & Older and Best Illustrations. The New Old Truck draws on Margery and Jennifer’s childhood growing up on their family’s Hawkes Bay dairy farm, and tells the tale of some children’s love affair with their Republic truck. After selling out of the first edition in New Zealand in 2013, Jennifer and Margery decided to revise it. An historic section was added after Jennifer’s husband, Ken Fletcher, researched the Old Truck’s lineage from the Republic Motor Truck Company in
Family success - L to R: Ezra Andre, Margery Fern and sister Jennifer Somervell were all recognised at a recent book awards in the US Michigan, which was once the largest truck manufacturer in the world. Fittingly, The New Old Truck was launched in Michigan last month. Jennifer and Ken were there, surrounded by some of the oldest Republic trucks in America. Margery was not able to go but her husband,
Rene, recorded the Old Truck Song for the occasion which he had written for the 2012 book launch. The New Old Truck is available from selected booksellers. Autographed copies were available through www. talesfromthefarm.co.nz. Rachel Benn
discharge
of
litres of partially treated sewage into Raglan Harbour last June has landed the Waikato District Council (WDC) a hefty fine. In a statement released by the Waikato Regional Council which initiated the prosecution against the WDC - the district council has been fined $56,250, at the Hamilton District Court, for the overflow that occurred over a
three day period. The overflow resulted in contaminant flowing past the boat ramp, camp ground and over shell fish beds. In imposing the fine, Hamilton District Court Judge David Kirkpatrick noted that errors committed by district council staff were “of a systemic nature, revealing poor training, supervision and ultimate management.” The judge continued to say “once the overflow commenced,
the failure of the defendant’s staff to alert senior Council managers, the Council itself, the Regional Council and the community also seriously aggravated the offending. Judge Kirpatrick said that it was “fortuitous” that no one had suffered any ill effect as a result of the discharge. However, he acknowledged that the district council “as a public body, does treat its environmental responsibilities as important.” Marcia Ahern

$15,000 Waikato District Council funding injection has saved Raglan’s Sunday bus service from the chop for at least another 12 months. Raglan Chamber of Commerce chairperson Dave Currie was “grateful and delighted” that the council had decided for a second year to subsidise the service, which had been run by the group for the past 15 months after the Waikato Regional Council axed its Sunday bus services to Raglan. “It needs the grant to make it happen,” he said, also acknowledging Councillor Clint Baddeley, who helped achieve the successful result. Dave said the district council had acknowledged that the Raglan community would be disadvantaged by having no public transport on Sundays, and this was reinforced by the fact that about 900 passengers had taken advantage of the service in the past 15 months.
Chamber member Angela Williams, who coordinated the Sunday bus service, said the 12-seater vehicle was leased from the Raglan Community Vehicle Trust for the Sunday trips. She said the service was starting to attract day visitors from Hamilton as well as tourists, but was used predominantly by locals during winter months. The Raglan Lions Club also sponsored the initiative so that local Gold Card holders could travel free on the Sunday bus. The bus left the Raglan i-Site (formerly known as the Raglan Information Centre) at 10am and 4pm each Sunday and public holiday (except Christmas Day), and from the Hamilton Transport Centre in Anglesea St at 11.15am and 5.15pm, and cost $10 each way.

A ‘Meet the Candidates’ breakfast date has been made by the Raglan Chamber of Commerce at Orca on Tuesday, July 22, starting at 7.30am. Chamber chairperson Dave Currie said candidates from the Labour, National, Green and possibly the
Mana parties would talk about their policies and perspectives on regional development and sustainability, with a focus on the needs of businesses in the community. Taranaki-King Country electoral candidates Penny Gaylor (Labour), Barbara Kuriger (National) and Robert Moore (Greens) would have 15 minutes each to talk, with half an hour open for questions from the floor afterwards.

Environmental report reinforces need for Whaanga Coast wastewater system
A wastewater and n
assessment
of current on-site disposal systems on Whaanga Coast properties has endorsed the installation of a new system to address environmental issues. The independent report was commissioned by Waikato District Council in November 2013 to assess the performance of systems in the area, and to determine the level of public health risk from existing on-site wastewater treatment and land disposal systems. Council Chief Executive Gavin Ion says the Ormiston Associates report supported Council’s decision to progress with installation of the new pipeline system in Whaanga Coast. “Their key recommendation supported our decision to reticulate now to mitigate the public health risk from current on-site wastewater disposal systems. This recommendation is consistent with the message we’ve delivered throughout the project”. The report also recommends that Council works closely with the community to identify, and address, issues such as financial implications and public education about the need for the system. “We’ve aware of the need to address these factors and have put a number of strategies in place to address them. “Firstly, we’ve offered a subsidy to existing property owners who connect to the scheme during construction. Secondly, we’ve made a considerable effort to engage with the community at a number of levels to keep them informed not only about the work programme, but also to help them understand the reasons behind the project and how it affects them. That’s why we’re keen to share this report with the community as it could help address any concerns they have about the new wastewater scheme.”
Plant a tree for Matariki
Letters: Dear Editor Thank you for giving such prominence to your article on oil drilling. It therefore came as a surprise to me when, a couple of days later, someone told me oil drilling was an issue of the past because Anadarko had gone away. Maybe the map doesn't make it clear enough that blocks are on offer just 18km off the bar? With the deadline for bids just 5 days after the general election this should be an election issue for Raglan (and much of the rest of the country). I hope you'll be giving it more publicity so that every Raglan voter is aware, even if they only read the headlines. Labour announced its policy on Saturday. It's disappointing that they're just offering more public participation and increasing insurance
from $26 to $300m; Anadarko paid over $4bn for its part in the Gulf of Mexico spill. John Lawson, Raglan To the Editor A huge thank you to Raglan Council. We approached the council with concerns about the Pohutakawa trees on Bankart Street, which were blocking visibility from our driveway of cars and pedestrians coming from Bow Street into Bankart Street and onto Wainui Road. This was addressed and dealt with within days of visiting council, from the front desk person to council photographing to arborists trimming these beautiful trees to keep us safe and still be able to enjoy them. Thank you all sincerely. David Rix, Raglan
Matariki planting: Malcolm Cox and students from Raglan Area School prepare to plant
Matariki has been a key theme in our schools across the Waikato Region as the cluster of stars have graced us with their presence. Matariki reminds us to celebrate our whanau, renew relationships, marks new beginnings, a time to prepare the land for crops and a time to reflect. These are some of the key messages our schools have been focusing on this term. On Friday 4th July 26 Project Energize Schools across the Waikato District celebrated matariki in a ‘plant a tree for matariki’ ceremony. Each school was given 3 native plants from Titoki Taiao o Waikato in support of the initiative. It is believed that trees grow stronger, happier and healthier when planted alongside other tree’s. Similar to families and whanau. Whauwhaupaku, akeake and manuka were some of the native trees given to Raglan Area School to plant. Amiria McGarvey
A 'T' for terrific party at Te Mata
The theme for this year’s party, organised by the Te Mata Primary School PTA, was to come as something starting with the letter ‘T’. Te Mata School PTA treasurer Sue Steadman said that the quality of the costumes worn, by the more than 100 people there, was impressive. “I thought it was fantastic…that’s got to have been the best year for costumes.” Sue said that the party, which cost $20 per person, was not designed as a fundraiser by the PTA, but more of a mid-winter booster for the community.
“We do it as a feel good thing for the community [and] for twenty bucks, you get dinner and live entertainment.” However, the party was not limited to just the Te Mata community, and attracted two bus-loads from Raglan, she said. The live band, Grand Theft Audio, kept the crowd dancing until just past midnight with their line-up of covers from the 80’s through to the early 2000’s. The yearly mid-winter themed party had been going for at least four years at the Te Mata hall and next year’s party, theme unknown, was already being organised. The band had already requested to come back to next year’s party as they had loads of fun playing for the crowd at Te Mata, Sue said. The clean-up was made much easier by the volunteer efforts of Extreme Waste, she said. Marcia Ahern

ave you noticed the coloured and at night-time, highly reflective – over-life sized birdpeople at Matapihi Art Gallery and the Raglan Old School Arts Centre?

Reggae Band to play YOT Club NZ reggae band 1814, who originally came out of the hill’s surrounding the beautiful Whangaroa Harbour in 2004, have been performing their take on Kiwi flavoured reggae throughout New Zealand and Australia ever since and the Raglan favourites will be playing the YOT Club this Saturday 19th July. 1814 released their 3rd album ‘Relax’ through Ode Records at the end of 2012. A recent review in 'NZ Musician' magazine said, "1814 are one of the many quality local reggae groups giving the rest of the world a taste of our homegrown produce." Given the high-quality production values on this sophomore album, it is easy to see why 1814 are enjoying their own international success. Over the years 1814 have supported numerous international bands like; Third World on their NZ Tour, Nas and Damien Marley on their Distant Relatives Tour, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Kolohe Kai, Rebel Souljahs, Raggamuffin international artists; Mary J Blige, Jimmy Cliff, Maxi Priest, The Wailers, Kymani Marley, J Boog, Spawnbreezie, Billy
Sampero, who uses reflective materials, mainly road-signs, as her choice of art medium. “My aim has always been to have art outside,” said the Titirangi-based artist. She said the Kaitiaki have been displayed at Titirangi (in West-Auckland) and Waiheke Island and from here will journey to the Hawke’s Bay. “Next stop [will be] the Wild Flower Sculpture Exhibition in November, then [they’re] going to be in Wellington for the 2016 Wellington Arts Festival,” she said. Delicia said the display
pieces had QR-codes on the back of them, to encourage interaction. People could take their smartphones, scan the codes and be linked to a YouTube video. It is also a way for Delicia to collect historical stories of the areas in which the birds are displayed. “So that’s the idea, more and more history [so] that the main thing can be richer,” she said. She said she will be making a historical video about Raglan, before November, so that in future it would be connected to the links. Marcia Ahern

Waterfront restaurant on the market
Animal Feed Specialists�
O
ne of the most ideally located businesses in Raglan, the Marlin Café, Bar and Grill with its prime waterfront location at the wharf is up for grabs after 23 years of business. Business partners Ofa Akauola and Kevin Bowering purchased the 736 square metre site back in 1991, converting the existing bed and breakfast into the Marlin that stands today. With Kevin passing away late 2012, Ofa has been running the business by himself and is now looking to open a ‘new chapter of
his life’ says Ray White real estate principal Julie Hanna. The business, land and building are currently up for grabs with a government valuation of the property standing at $1 million. Along with the restaurant, the property comes with a two-bedroom dwelling and can potentially be redeveloped into a different business. Right on the waterfront, the wharf is a busy hub that attracts plenty of foot traffic and with it’s stunning ocean views, the Marlin Bar is the perfect spot to kick back with a drink and meal.

Unwrapped broken glass injures rubbish bag collector
Kindy visit for residents On the 30th of June, residents and staff from the Raglan Rest Home visited Raglan Kindergarten for the first day of Matariki week celebrations.
Last week, an Xtreme Zero Waste runner had to undergo surgery after his hand was cut whilst picking up a blue prepaid bag. This preventable accident highlights the need for households to wrap broken glass and sharp objects thoroughly before placing wrapped broken glass packages in the middle of the bag, not on the top or the side of the bag. In 2010, a precedent was set when an Auckland woman was fined $20,000 by Waitakere City Council for putting a broken window pane into her rubbish bag. Please Raglan, be safe and make sure that all glass and sharp objects are wrapped thoroughly and placed in the middle of your rubbish bags, with nothing sticking
Please wrap up your broken glass: The message from Bevan Maru after he received a nasty cut while handling a blue prepaid bag
out the top or the sides of the bag. For any queries please ring 8256509. Xtreme Zero Waste Team
The kindergarten children performed the ‘Matariki' song, carrying stars while walking around in a circle, as well as ‘Te Aroha’ - a song that is regularly sung at mat-times. Afterwards, residents and staff enjoyed morning tea provided by the kindergarten and whaanau had a chance to engage with and watch some of the children play. This is the 4th time in a row that some residents and staff have visited the kindergarten. Every year the kindergarten children and teachers visit the Rest Home and Hospital for Daffodil Day, as well as a visit at Christmas time to sing Christmas songs. This is a great way to foster a relationship between the Raglan Kindergarten and Rest Home and Hospital, and it is beneficial for both residents and children alike! Raglan Kindergarten Team

Go Organic Part-time course starting soon - call now! Explore the latest trends in sustainable farming through a science-based approach to a wide range of organic techniques and systems. Ideal for lifestyle block owners, home gardeners and/or commercial growers, this course will provide key knowledge and skills required for organic growing. Learn to build ecosystems, promote biodiversity and increase soil and plant health, instead of relying on artificial fertilisers and poisonous sprays. Topics covered include organic philosophies, certification, soil management, soil food webs, composting, companion planting, crop rotation, green manures, weed control, pest and disease management, plant knowledge and an introduction to permaculture. This knowledge can be applied not only to food crops, but to the cultivation of any plants – from suburban gardens to pastures, orchards, shelter belts and woodlots. In addition to attending tutorials and workshops or field trips, students will need to complete practical and theory assignments in their own time.
Some prior knowledge of horticulture and growing plants is recommended although keen beginners are invited to apply. Although this programme has a horticultural bias, pastoral farmers wishing to get an understanding of what organic farming is all about will also find this course of value. On successful completion you will be awarded a Certificate in Organic Horticulture (Level 3). Networking between organic growing enthusiasts is an added bonus to joining this course. Note: Minimum numbers required for course to commence.
For more information or to apply, contact us now! COURSE DETAILS:

Helping grow the country
Raglan Club's Nin Waretini and Bronwyn Clark with new manager Chris Lourie
R
aglan Club is proving a popular venue for top bands to perform in front of hundreds of locals. “Our space is excellent for these sorts of events. It’s been great to also see Raglan residents, who are not necessarily yet members of the club come along and enjoy what we have to offer,” says Manager Chris Lourie. The club now has a large-screen projector TV beaming images on the wall. “With a little notice we’re happy for groups to come and watch a special event. It’s all part of being part of this community just like the way we open our doors to host community fundraising events.” Come Friday 1st August a new chapter in the club’s history will begin when the soon to be named and revamped dining room, complete with new chef and staff, opens its doors. It’s a moment Chris is looking forward to and to celebrate local
entertainers Rob and Dee’s karaoke will be in full swing as well as Geoff playing clarinet and sax. “I’m really excited by the ideas and energy our new chef Gary LeComte is bringing to the club. He has a wealth of experience in the hospitality industry and with the improvements we’re making to the look and feel of the space there’s no looking back.” Meanwhile with a low $20 subscription the club’s membership continues to grow. Chris says it’s been especially good to see so many young families join. “I can see with summer approaching that our outside family BBQ garden area will really come into its own. There’s plenty of space for families to enjoy socialising together.” For those curious about what the club has to offer, staff are happy to sign patrons in for a visit or two. Raglan Club is open every day of the week. Sue Russell
