Feedback on the proposed representation arrangements closes on Monday 2 July.
I want to touch quickly on an issue that is a bit of a personal bugbear – tagging. It’s a blight on our district and something that I would like to see stamped out. The best way we can do this is to take action as a community, so if you see any tagging, or especially if you see someone in the act of tagging, please report it. Let’s work together to keep the Waikato an attractive place. Finally, thanks to everyone who made a submission on the Long Term Plan. The plan is a crucial document for our future, and for us it’s vital to know what our community is thinking. From my perspective this process went well, and it’s a testament to the consultation work that was done earlier this year that meant most people who submitted felt that there were few surprises within the plan. Now we can now look to the future with a clear plan of how we will move forward as a district, and make the most of the opportunities in front of us.

made from just some of the 80 billion disposable chopsticks thrown out worldwide each year. The chopsticks had been sterilized and chopped into small pieces, then coloured using natural and plant dyes. “Wow! Who needs Wellington when we’ve got Whaingaroa?” asked Art To Wear organiser Jean Carbon at the awards presentation. She told the Chronicle she was impressed yet again at the unheralded effort and inspiration of the many people behind the show, both on and offstage. The event is organised by an Art To Wear team which is part of Raglan Community Arts Council. It is funded by Creative Communities Waikato and sponsored by local businesses and organisations which provide funds and prizes. Edith Symes. Image: Nico Peschiutta - niospe@gmail.com
They say every cloud has a silver lining – and it was two clouds, Cumulus and Nimbus, which reigned at Raglan’s iconic Art To Wear show in the Town Hall on Saturday. Raglan clay artist Susanne Prinz’s billowing black and white creations, modelled by Bexie Towle and Wayne Lallu, blew away the competition to be named supreme or overall winners after earlier taking out the Wind Warriors category in a show that attracted record entries and two full houses. In the spirit of the biennial event, victory came cheap too – compere Athene Jensen, or AJ, revealed that Susanne spent just $5 to make her outstanding creations, which were inspired by the cloud patterns of Whaingaroa. Hers wasn’t the only entry in the popular Wind Warriors category to wow audiences at both the matinee and evening sessions. Young filmmaker Turanga Kereopa took both second prize and the people’s choice award for his stunning creation Bird Woman, modelled by statuesque Renee Davenport. Resplendent in a gown made mostly from soft, feathery toe toe – but with a bodice of bird and pumpkin seed – Renee in turn won the top model award, while a pride of contestants from Matapihi Kindergarten near Te Mata were named the junior top models.

Creatures earlier clutched each other’s tails in a long line up and down the catwalk to win a highly commended in the show’s Rainbow category. But it was Little Miss Jade who – complete with handcrafted parasol – won first prize in the Rainbow section for Raglan Knitting Circle. She flounced about on stage with all the confidence of a professional model, showing off the multi-coloured hand knitted and crocheted creation named Rainbow Delight. Children galore got to show off their own wacky creations in the show’s Dr Seuss category for the under-13s. And judged wackiest of all was Madeleine Thompson’s Elephant Bird from the story Horton Hatches the Egg. Maddy made her elephant bird’s eggshell from papier mache adding chicken wire , bubble-wrap, felt, fluff and feathers to create a curious halfhatched creature which strutted in ungainly fashion along the catwalk. Perhaps even wackier though was The Thing with Wings which won Art To Wear’s Myths & Legends category to loud applause. The large llama-like entry with toe toe wings – created by Libby Wallace and Ariana Livingstone - cavorted on stage with its back hooves dancing to a different beat than its front in hilarious fashion. The Reduce-Reuse-Recycle category saw Liz Hosking – the people’s choice award winner from the last Art To Wear in 2010 – take first prize for Can’t See the Trees for the Wood. Her teen model, Kate Sandwell, cut an elegant figure in a stylish creation

RAGLAN Chronicle 3
Councillor’s Column: by Clint Baddeley Council has recently completed its hearings and deliberations on the Long Term Plan (LTP). The LTP is reviewed every three years and provides an opportunity for ratepayers to submit opinions and suggestions on Council’s budgets. Personally I find it a difficult process as there are so many worthwhile submissions but equally there are numerous ideas to reduce rates. I am sure you will agree that these two positions tend not to be compatible. Council has taken a position of maintaining what we have and that, for Raglan, means significant investment in infrastructure – i.e. water, stormwater and wastewater upgrades including the Whaanga Coast Scheme.
I would encourage affected Whaanga Coast ratepayers who have not done so to sign up to the scheme. Much of the infrastructure that Council and ratepayers invest in every year is below ground and is not as visible as recent developments like the bridge or museum but it is equally expensive and important and needs our constant attention. Council will formalise the LTP on 26th June 2012. Council has also started the consultation process in the review of Wards and Community Boards. This proposal will see the Raglan Ward expand slightly but the Community

Board boundary will move out to incorporate parts of Ruapuke, Te Mata and Te Uku. This has been done at my suggestion given the expanded interest of these communities with Raglan. For further details please visit the Council office or www.waikatodistrict.co.nz. Consultation closes at 4pm on 2nd July 2012. Recently Council has undertaken a review of the Wainui Reserve Management Plan which provides guidance on the development, the management and the future use of Wainui Reserve. This reserve is a significant asset to Raglan, to the district and to New Zealand. Council has last week approved the appointment of members of the Raglan Coastal Reserves Advisory Committee as Beach Rangers. With the increased use of our beaches there is a need to monitor and advise beachgoers of their responsibilities. Many of you will be aware that central government plans to introduce changes to the way in which local government operates with greater emphasis on infrastructure and keeping rate rises and
debt under control. There is also speculation about potential amalgamations of councils. I have raised this matter before with very little feedback. Again I stress that we need to consider this important matter and I would be very interested in your input. In closing, I would like to congratulate those in our community who organise events that support the volunteer groups in Raglan. Recently the longestablished emergency services benefited from a great fundraiser held at the Raglan Club. I take my hat off to all the volunteers who have provided years of consistent and reliable service to our community. We all need to consider where Raglan would be without these vital services. Thank you each and every one. Remember that all Council agendas and minutes are on the WDC website - www.waikatodistrict.co.nz.

Midwinter feast and firing
If you enjoyed the summer Clay Fiesta at the Old School Arts Centre’s Clay Shed – or if you missed it! – come and join us for a midwinter potluck meal and firing using a raku kiln. This is an exciting process where clay pieces, which have already been bisque fired, are glazed and then heated very rapidly to white hot. They are then taken, still glowing, from the kiln and cooled quickly with cold water with much hissing and clouds of steem. It’s a magical process, not only to watch, but because the heat reacts in amazing ways on the glazes so there is often an element of surprise when the pieces cool down. Members warmly welcome anyone who would like to come along – bring a dish of some delicious winter food and dress warmly – the fire and water show all happens outside, but we will eat inside while the kiln heats up. This is a chance to share ideas for our community pottery, already so popular among the children of Raglan, and a wonderful resource for all potters who don’t have their own kilns, or those keen to learn to work with clay. We are also celebrating the
good news that we have almost reached our target funding for a new kiln, thanks to a $5000 grant from the St. Lazarus Trust. That summer fiesta netted us well over $4000. So come and join us at the Clay Shed on Wednesday 20 June, around 6pm, earlier if you want to see the kiln set up. If you have any nottoo-large bisque fired items that you would like to include in the firing, please contact Susanne on 825 8800. Any other questions about the evening, call Judith on 825 0550 or Susanne. Judith Collins

and from world cup matches in Hamilton on the 16 18 September andinthe 2ndfinal of October. Raglan-bornandshow preparations for Olympics th
A show which debuted in Raglan four years ago and went on to tour the North Island to critical acclaim is now set to go global with a performance next month at London’s curtainraiser for the Olympic Games – the only New Zealand show to feature among 92 acts from around the world. Creative producer Bronwen Christianos – who lived and breathed Green Fire Islands in Raglan while putting together the collaborative story of two cultures, Maori and Irish – is working “ridiculous hours” to finalise the organisational details for the tour by the 34-strong troupe, which appears first in Dublin’s Helix Theatre before hitting the stage in Greenwich, London, two days later. The Kiwi contingent, she says, makes up about half the troupe’s numbers and includes Raglan kaumatua Sean Ellison who has advised on tikanga Maori and also on a spiritual level since the show’s inception several years ago. Sean describes Bronwen’s work in getting Green Fire Islands off the ground – first in New Zealand and now on the world stage – as a “brave vision”. His part and that of revered Rotorua kaumatua Joe Malcolm, who’s also accompanying the troupe overseas, is to ensure the show holds onto its cultural integrity. Joe will also be leading the kapa haka element of Green Fire Islands. A special Irish welcome awaits the Kiwi half of the troupe soon after their arrival in Dublin in a month. It offsets the Maori welcome for the Irish contingent on their arrival here early in 2008 before the dress rehearsal in Raglan Town Hall which kickstarted a North Island tour to Wellington, New Plymouth and Auckland. Sean sees the welcome as an integral part of Green Fire Islands’ journey as it’s launched into its new production overseas. “It can’t go to the world stage before placing itself in Ireland and the two (cultures) stand as equals,” he insists. Bronwen was excited to learn, after the invitation
to perform in the River of Music Festival along the Thames as part of the Cultural Olympiad, that the show occupies the Oceania Stage – “one of the best (venues)” – for the weekend and plays early on the Sunday evening. “I couldn’t have hoped for anything better,” she says. The festival is staged the weekend before the Games begin, in the grounds of the Royal Naval College which can take a capacity audience of 10,000. Funding permitting the show is also set to play in Vienna, Austria, soon after London’s pre-Olympic event.
in 2008 – shown in the town hall 18 months later – and what will occur now at rehearsals in Annamakerrig in Ireland. To witness the “uncorking” of so much creative energy, he adds, is a phenomenon. “Given the established interest in Irish music and culture and the growing curiosity in tikanga Maori, I believe we have here an opportunity to capture an experience which will resonate with audiences worldwide.” Crowd funding – a way to raise money via financial pledges – has been introduced online in the hope it will go viral and help with the filming of the “exciting adventure Green fire Islands is about to embark upon”, say Bronwen and the team behind her. They are grateful for generous funding from Creative New Zealand, and additional New Zealand supporters include the Gallaghers charitable arm and The Tindall Foundation, while Culture Ireland is supporting the venture from the other side of the globe. Bronwen and her daughter Rachel, who is also involved in the production, are currently based in Auckland but regard themselves still as Raglan residents. And the entire project works through the Raglan-based Whiti Te Ra Hou Trust which was set up even before the first production got off the ground, encouraging positive and creative ways to raise self-esteem and improve mental health in New Zealand. *Crowd funding sites are h t t p s : / / w w w. p l e d g e m e . c o . n z / Crowd/Details/209 and http://www. kickstarter.com/projects/379638437/ green-fire-islands-from-grass-rootsto-the-world-s Edith Symes

Meanwhile the group of leading Celtic and Maori musicians, reuniting for the first time in four years, get a week in Ireland to fine-tune the show at rehearsals in the renowned Tyrone Guthrie Centre – an artists’ retreat – in Annamakerrig. Celebrated NZ cinematographer Alun Bollinger, who has worked with just about every significant Kiwi director including Peter Jackson, will for the second time film the event from the rehearsal perspective for the production of a feature-length documentary for the big screen.

Your Pet’s Winter Coat

Thousands of years ago when cats and dogs roamed free in their natural form, they were quite capable of looking after their own fur and hygiene. Since then many breeds of both cats and dogs have been created, which have unnaturally long or thick coats, to the extent that often the animal is unable to properly groom themselves on their own. It is important to groom your pet yourself in order to keep it looking healthy and prevent tangled hair. Tangled clumps allow a build up of dirt and provide a hiding place for fleas and lice as well as causing damage to the underlying skin. Brushing long haired animals will remove knots and excess hair, reducing the chances of further knotting, and reducing shedding around the home. You will notice that some animals prefer different kinds of brushes, and you may need to try a couple of different types until you find one your pet prefers.

FILM: The Most Fun You Can Have Dying (R16): Preview by Susan Guenther If you were told you were going to die, what would you do? This moving Kiwi film will leave you contemplating this question, with a smile on your face. The title puts us in the picture. Filmed partly in Raglan, this is not at all a gloomy tale, but rather one of hope and chance and directing your own life story. The NZ Film Guide describes this movie as ‘A moving New Zealand drama with top-notch acting, some enchanting locations and at its heart a rollercoaster story posing the question what would you do if you were told you were going to die?’ Easy-going Kiwi bloke Michael (Matt Whelan) is suddenly thrown into a turmoil of emotions when he learns terminal cancer leaves him only months to live. Unwilling to suffer the misery of painful hospital treatments in the vain hope of an unlikely cure, Michael makes the decision to take control of his own life’s finale, and live his final moments to the full. In this quest for the ultimate ending, Michael takes charge of the $200,000 raised by the community for his treatment, buying a one-way ticket to Europe, aiming to ‘go out’ in wild style. As in most of our lives, the unexpected interrupts plans. Michael’s world suddenly changes again when he meets and falls in love with Sylvie (Roxane Mesquida) a beautiful, mysterious French woman. Grayson Gilmour’s cleverly arranged New Zealand soundtrack supports the excellent acting, and enhances some magnificent settings. Adapted from Steven Gannaway’s novel ‘Seraphim Blues’ This engaging Kiwi drama will have you thinking about the meaning and balance of your own life, about frustration and helplessness, the unexpected and optimism. Highly recommended viewing. Raglan Old School Arts Centre in Stewart St, 8.00pm June 16th and 4.30pm June 17th. Reserves Ph 825 0023 or Email info@raglanartscentre.co.nz

Raglan Lions Op Shop has stepped up this year to take first place in the town’s Fieldays window display competition, winning $500 to plough back into the community.
Local Lions president Bob McLeod told the Chronicle he was delighted with the efforts of the volunteers who staff the Wallis Street shop, which on Monday – the day competition winners were announced – was still proudly displaying its runner-up certificate from 2011. The cash, Bob said, would “certainly go back into the community”, on an as yet-to-be decided project which would most likely involve the town’s youth. The Big Little Town theme this time around was to reflect the changing face of farming, and the op shop has a windowful of iconic Kiwi items on display including a couple of mannikins which looked like they’d just stepped out of a farmyard or farmhouse of old. Second prize of $250 went to Bow Street Gallery, which featured in its shop window an ancient-looking cream can and an innovative letterbox made from an old vacuum pump. Owner David Yorston perhaps got more than he’d expected, telling the Chronicle he entered the competition both this and last year only in the hope of scoring the odd ticket to the Fieldays, which is now on at Mystery Creek. Third place from the town’s 10 participating retailers went to last year’s winners, Rob Galloway and Marie de Jong of Soul Shoes, with Donna a comical pink pig or two staring out from the shop window and a farmer in his swanni reading the Fieldays Focus. The couple won $50 and a bottle of wine. Including the event’s newspaper in the display was one of the criteria set for the competition which covered eight regional towns, all contributing to Fieldays by showing their community spirit to visitors. Competition co-ordinator Jacqui Cooper said Fieldays
Pairama in front of the ‘Fieldays’ window display at the Lions Opportunity shop
depends on “the support and hard work of staff in local visitor information centres who liaise with retailers in each town ... It goes to show the nature of the people in our Waikato towns, and exactly why we are proud to say that Waikato Big Little Towns are at the heart of Fieldays.” Edith Symes

St John calls on people in Raglan for support The St John Annual Appeal 2012 (June 18-24) is a time for people in Raglan to show their support for the charity so it can be there for the community says St John Raglan Team Manager Bush Barton. “Many people don’t realise St John is a charity. We are calling for donations now so we can be there for you when you need us most. It’s that simple,” says Bush. The Appeal focuses on raising funds so St John can continue to provide the range of services it does, including; saving lives and taking very sick or critically injured people to hospital (St John Ambulance service), helping with first aid at events (St John Volunteers); improving the health and wellbeing of people in need (Caring Caller, Friends of the Emergency Department) and teaching people what to do in an emergency and preparing them with vital life
skills (First Aid Training and St John Youth Cadets). Mark says demand for ambulance services in Raglan continues to grow. Last year St John responded to almost 800 callouts and in the first three months of 2012 St John has responded to more than 36000 callouts throughout the Central region. Nationally demand for ambulance services is expected to rise 4.4% this year. “As winter is our busiest time of the year we’re expecting a slight increase on these figures for the Raglan area,” says Bush. St John staff and volunteers will also be out with collecting buckets throughout appeal week or you can donate anytime by calling 0800 ST JOHN (0800 785 646), going online at www.stjohnappeal.org.nz or donating at any ASB branch.
Teens on mission to fundraise for trip Raglan Area School students are on a mission to raise money to help pay for a sports trip to Dunedin.
