aglan’s new youth hub is fulfilling an obvious need in the community, judging by the numbers of young people showing up in the first few weeks of it opening.

The hub offered free entertainment and wi-fi, plus a meal, to local teenagers 14 years and over from any school. Youth hub coordinator Rangi Rongo worked there every Thursday and adults from the governing committee were on call should any problems arise, but the young people would not feel it was their space if there were too many adults around. “It’s supervised but we don’t parent RAGLAN UNION them,” Bronwyn said. “If they [the young CHURCH people] come, we’ll look after them but we’re not a babysitting service.” So far, between 20 and 50 young people had been turning up each Thursday, which had far exceeded Bronwyn’s expectations, and a bigger Caring for the ones you love venue may be needed if numbers continued to swell. 27 - 29 Manukau Road SUNDAY SERVICES: “I never dreamt it would be so 10.00am Family Service with Sunday School Ph. 07 825 8306 popular.

It’s a calm, supportive environment.”

RAGLAN HOSPITAL & REST HOME

If the demand was there, Youth Connect may open twice a week next term and be open during school holidays. The hub had received the thumbs up from the youths, who were proud of their waterfront space near town, and the parents, who felt like their children had a safe place to go. “There are kids who would have previously caused trouble round town that just run down to the hub now so they can be the first to be there.” Youth Connect was funded through the multi-agency Social Sector Trials youth initiative, which involved the Police and ministries of Health, Justice, Education and Social Development. “Unobtrusive” education was also part of the plan, Bronwyn said. After the formal blessing and opening of Youth Connect on May 21, a workshop sponsored by the district health board taught youth about the dangers of alcohol, teaching the teenagers how to make non-alcoholic ‘mocktails’ and run a party without alcohol. Another group had come in to talk to the youth about healthy food options, with a focus on the need to provide good sustenance when having a party. The next thing may be to look at helping youth get their drivers’ licences, while the local coastguard wanted to do water safety education with them. “We want to plug some education in there but we want it still to be a place just to hang out,” Bronwyn said. “I don’t want it to be an extension of school.” While help had already come from various parts of the community to set up Youth Connect, ongoing help was needed to feed those coming every Thursday. Bronwyn encouraged any members of the community to become involved by supplying food – whether it was toasted sandwiches, soup, a casserole or a roast – and make a positive difference.

Inventive chef serves up his own Matariki-flavour platter

Matariki Constellation: Bow Street Depot Chef Tamati Edwards with his inspirational dish

aglan chef Tamati Edwards got inspired last week and served up the ‘Matariki Constellation’ on a plate – its seven components, he says, representing the seven stars of Pleiades which mark the Maori New Year. He included traditional Maori food like watercress and smoked eel, mussels and kumara alongside purple carrot puree and pan-fried tarakihi in a colourful creation that’s now on the menu at Bow Street

GOD IS REAL! HERE’S MY STORY

Depot, the popular indoor-outdoor eatery best known for its tapas. A modest Tamati told the Chronicle it was local entrepreneur Charlie Young who got him thinking about creating a unique dish to celebrate Matariki. Inspired to “give it a go”, he entered the inaugural Tino Reka te Kai Matariki Menu Challenge – a combined Waikato District Council and Waikato Food Inc competition. The challenge was to come up with an exceptional dish using at least two ingredients grown or produced in the Waikato, and available on menus for no

more than $30. Tamati’s done just that and thrown in a can of Good George limited edition India Pale Ale (IPA) to complement the platter, aptly named Matariki Constellation. The overall winner will gain not only the kudos of creating the best Matariki dish for 2015 but also a trophy and prizes to the value of $2000. There’s also a people’s choice award that will give the voting public the chance to win a dinner out and a weekend for two at Whale Bay’s Dreamcatcher Lodge Edith Symes

It’s amazing how easy it is to grow up knowing something but not knowing something. The reality of grace - God’s unmerited favour - was something that I could tell you all the right information about; but deep down the weight of it hadn’t hit me. The funny thing is that if you looked at my background you’d have imagined that I should have had the concept of grace figured out more than anyone. I grew up a pastor’s son, the oldest of three brothers, in church since I was in nappies. I learned the lifestyle Christians were supposed to live. And because I knew the lifestyle I grew up from primary school through my college years feeling the weight of expectation on my shoulders. If I did something wrong, it seemed amplified. After all I was the Christian kid who should be above reproach, blameless and flawless; the ‘God boy’. The result was guilt when I didn’t

measure up to expectations I felt. The Bible tells me I was ‘God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do,’ but I felt the more I tripped up the more of a let down I was to God. In 2009 I moved to New Zealand to spend a year at Surfside Adventure College. I met some extraordinary people as we did ministry and shared life together, and the more I spent time in this wonderful environment the more the weight seemed to lift. What changed was that the knowledge of grace that moved from my head to my heart. I am still created ‘to do good works’ but I’m no longer defined by my failure to do them. I am defined by God’s grace, ‘For it is by grace I have been saved, through faith - and this is not from myself, it is the gift of God - not by works, so no one can boast.’ Ed Wright

Manager Helen Rowling was in Hamilton on Wednesday last week when she got the call that the Marlin Bar, on Wallis Street by the wharf, was on fire. Contractors had been painting at the restaurant, which had closed after Easter, getting it ready for the planned October 1 reopening. An existing potbelly fireplace inside the building was “experimentally lit” to help dry the paint. Neither Helen nor the contractors realised the flue, which was attached to a firebox in

the ceiling, had been cut off at roof level and roofing iron put on top. This meant the potbelly worked initially, but then created a fire in the ceiling. The Fire Service was alerted about 4.15pm and three fire engines responded quickly. They were able to remove the roofing iron over the fire and put it out. The fire caused damage to the electrical system and about 20 to 30 percent of the roof. “Now the insurance have to ascertain what the damage is – it’s anywhere between $10,000 and $50,000, so

it’s put us back,” Helen said. “We can’t carry on ‘til we know how they want to proceed with the repairs.” However, Helen was optimistic and hoping to still open on October 1. “We just have to keep calm and carry on,” she laughed. The Marlin Bar was owned by local farmers Susan and Noel Bamber. They took over the restaurant in January from Ofa Akavola, who had owned it for 17 years with partner Kevin Bowering. Rachel Benn

How to combat the winter blues

ith the relentless rain and wind over the last few weeks, it seems like an early winter and your mood may be lower already. The fact that seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and the winter blues occur when the days begin to darken and sunlight is at a minimum is not a coincidence. Your health and mood is intricately tied to exposure to sunlight. For example, your serotonin levels (the hormone typically associated with elevating your mood) rise when you’re exposed to bright light and Vitamin D is activated in your skin. Roles that Vitamin D plays in the body: • Activated Vitamin D increases nerve growth in your brain. It’s therefore important for all-around brain function and mental health. • Maintains blood calcium levels. • Maintains bone health. • Supports skeletal growth of the growing baby in pregnant women.

• Responsible for proper immune responses to pathogens. • Essential factor for blood glucose metabolism. So to maintain mental wellness over the winter months and prevent Vitamin D deficiency you should: • Go outside as much as possible and get some sunlight, even if it’s just for a 20 minute a day. • Supplement with Vitamin D3, which can be bought as a convenient single dosage spray or a tablet. Being a fat soluble vitamin take with meals which contain some fat. Other nutrients which help absorption are Vitamin K (found abundantly in vegetables) and magnesium (found in nuts, green leafy vegetables and/or a supplement).

NEWS BULLETIN

Te Kura A Rohe O Whaingaroa

Year 9 enrollments at an all-time high The tide is turning for Raglan Area School. A new

school structure has meant many Year 9 students opting to attend Raglan Area School instead of the daily travel over the hill. This years’ Year 9 class is bursting with 28 students and another eight Year 9 students are being catered for in our specialist learning environments. Bronwyn Haitana their main class teacher said that young people in the age group of 11-14 years spend a lot of time learning to relate to others in ways that are appropriate – they are critical thinkers, askers of ‘the Big Questions’ and move progressively towards independence. They have high expectations of themselves, are readily ‘coachable’ and enjoy stability in their learning programmes. Students in these years are characterised by ‘intellectual curiosity’ on which we need to capitalise.

“A rising tide lifts all ships.” Rising Tides is a programme that began

this year to support the learning of students in Years 8 - 10 who have been described by teachers as ‘ready for something more’ than the usual classroom can provide. The main aim is to help capable students to become independent learners. “We believe that when we support strong and creative thinkers, the ‘rising tide’ of passion and skill will spread across all learners” says Bronwyn Haitana, deputy principal. Rising Tides students may have one or more marked strengths and may also have gaps in their skills or knowledge which the

So what’s new this year: • one dedicated teacher who teaches the core subjects • a wider range of subjects, including music • a one-day Rising Tides (Gifted and Talented class) • 2 hours a week Elite Sports Performance class Parent Bernadette Gavin said, “like many parents, leading up to this year we were faced with the very big decision of where to send our soon to be high school daughter and after much thought chose Raglan Area School.” “Sequoia’s interest in learning is as high as ever. She has a bunch of really neat kids in her class and with good support by her teachers is achieving her learning objectives through some exciting (recent?) initiatives including Passion Learning and Rising Tides.”

- Joseph S. Renzulli, Educational Psychologist

programme aims to remedy or manage. The one-day programme will evolve as the year goes by, with the students being encouraged to evaluate what they do and to work with staff in deciding on future directions. Each Thursday begins with new and interesting words, philosophical thoughts and puzzles. Solving cryptic crosswords and logic puzzles and debating social issues are solid favourites. During term one the group investigated learning styles, multiple intelligences, memory and how to improve the efficiency of learning behaviours. In term two the focus has been on habits in our thinking and on how

change comes about in society. Each student has chosen a piece of everyday technology, investigating it to discover what the main influences have been on its changing form - including screws, saddles, locks, pens and surfboards. To support their learning they spent a day at MOTAT in Auckland in early May and they look forward to exploring further onto the community. Next term the plan is to focus on how words influence our emotions and produce pictures in our minds – dissecting advertisements, reading and creating poems and stories, and attempting to conquer the local Word Café competitions!

Music classes are providing a real rhythm to learning at RAS on with music into his NCEA We recognise music as a valuable Raglan Area School believes carry avenue of education for our years. music exerts a powerful impact on students’ lives and is as important for a well-rounded education as reading, writing and maths.

Taine Kerapa, a talented musician says it is beneficial for him to have opportunity to express himself through music as it helps him succeed in all subjects. He wants to

Raglan Area School takes on board the school community voice through survey results.

s part of our effort to continuously improve our school, we asked last year for our community to answer a survey in regard to whether RAS provides a caring, safe and respectful school climate in which learning can flourish. We would like to thank our community for taking the time to answer these questions and help our school improvement and planning. As a whole the people who completed the survey felt that RAS has huge potential. They believe our school reflects our community and students are accepted as individuals. One person summed it up by saying: “I love the diversity and inclusiveness of the school.” The survey identified that some of our school community have concerns regarding behaviour and the impact this has on the safety of other students.The other concern was the need for more

subjects and the need to create a more robust learning environment so that our students have success academically. At Raglan Area School we are fully committed to addressing these issues highlighted by the survey. Since the beginning of 2015 we have begun strengthening these two key facets of our school by implementing a clearer behaviour management system, providing more supervision at break and lunchtimes, introducing more subjects and offering more professional development for our staff. By strengthening relationships and creating more positive home and school environments we remove barriers to engagement and improve students’ chances to achieve at school and beyond. Bronwyn Haitana

With recent technologies like Ipods and smartphones becoming more popular, students are now – more than ever – exposed to many different kinds of music from around the globe. These changes are reflected in the students’ heightened interest in learning music.

students. This effect has led Raglan Area School to offer music as a subject this year with the support of Nicky Keys and other passionate music teachers. “Music is a sense of being free so you can create music and play what you want,” says Year 9 student Joel Newport.

Could you go one month without PLASTIC BAGS? Its easy with a couple of steps... Plastic free July is right around the corner! Cutting out plastic is not easy. If you have ever tried, you know that plastic is simply everywhere! That’s where Plastic Free July comes in.

• •

For the month of July people all around the world vow to give up using single-use plastic products. Doing this over the course of a month is a difficult challenge, but is more accessible that going totally plastic-free. Signing up to go plastic free for one month helps build more sustainable habits and raises awareness that can carry into the rest of the year.

•

Get ready! - Stock reusable bags in places like by the door, where you keep your keys or in the car so it is easy to remember to take them. Say “NO” to produce bags - Bring your own reusable bags for produce or just place things in your cart. At home produce can go in baskets or storage bins. Try buying from bulk bins - You can bring your own containers to most places that sell in bulk. Oats, flour, nuts, lollies, pasta and many cleaning products are some examples of the things you can stock up on without plastic.

What if Raglan was plastic bag free? Let WEC If avoiding all single use plastics for a month seems know what you think! like too much, try picking one thing to focus on. Common single use plastics like drinking straws, Plastic is Bad News for the Ocean coffee cup lids and plastic shopping or produce While plastic has provided many important Each ocean has a circularly flowing current, called a bags are good examples of plastics to focus on. modern advancements and conveniences, disposal gyre. Gyres accumulate our unwanted plastic and Reducing your plastic consumption is a direct of plastic is a huge problem. Plastic does not trash in high concentrations so there is a “garbage action you can take to impact on the health of the biodegrade like other materials. Instead it breaks patch” in every ocean. The most widely known down into smaller and smaller pieces that are oceanic landfill is in the Pacific ocean, known as community and the environment. known to be in the food web where they can travel the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Some scientists You can do Plastic Free July on your own or make right back to our dinner plates. Most examples of estimate the garbage patches to be collectively a vow to go Plastic Free by signing up for the this come from seafood like tuna or other large holding 7,000 to 35,000 tons of plastic in all.

Oral Care Products Recycling

Start collecting your toothbrushes, empty toothpaste tubes, toothpaste caps, floss containers, and their outer packaging materials. You can recycle them now at Xtreme Zero Waste with Terracycle! Colgate®, a global leader in oral care, has partnered with TerraCycle® to help provide a second life for oral care products. Drop-off bin located inside our Kaahu’s Nest shop at Xtreme Zero Waste.

In addition to reducing plastic consumption on an individual and community level, many people are also working on large-scale solutions to the ocean trash problem. For example, last year The Ocean Clean Up, an organization founded by a 19 year old, unveiled a feasibility report explaining how realistic a plastic clean up effort would be using their method.While this method is controversial and highly criticized, it is important to trial different solutions until the right one is found. The clean up method proposed uses natural ocean currents and winds to transport plastic debris toward a collection platform fitted with solid floating barriers to keep sea life out. The Ocean Clean Up proposes deploying the system for ten years, which will collect half of the trash in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.The next steps in the project are to bridge the gap between the results of the study with implementation options. To do this, they will try a series of up-scaling tests to see how a large-scale operation would work. To find out more visit www.theoceancleanup.com/
