KASM win: Happy KASM members and supporters gather on Ngarunui Beach. image thanks to Jwan Milek
T
he two chalked messages made a dramatic change from the usual seabed mining signs. “Fabulous result KASM thankx” read the Raglan West roadside blackboard that usually advertises scooters for hire, while proudly graffitied on Whaingaroa Environment Centre’s front wall was a simple “We won!” with “No seabed mining” in smaller lettering above. In what its chairman Phil McCabe described as an “amazing” result, Raglanbased KASM last week won the Davidand-Goliath fight to prevent foreign giant Trans-Tasman Resources mining ironsands off the Taranaki coast. “It spun me out,” Phil admitted of the text message he received Wednesday a week ago saying simply “TTR application denied”. And he reckoned Whale Bay environmentalist Malibu Hamilton “nearly fell off his chair” when he relayed the news on to him. Phil had only ever believed KASM had a 50:50 chance of success. The rejection by an Environmental Protection Agency-appointed independent panel, of TTR’s application to take many millions of tonnes of ironsand from a 66 square kilometre area off Patea came, after months of hearings around the country. The panel said its major reason for refusing consent was the uncertainty around the scope and significance of potential environmental effects. When the Chronicle caught up with Phil last Friday he was still euphoric at the collective effort of the Raglan community to fight seabed mining. “It’s been a huge effort from Raglan,” he said of KASM’s 10 year battle, the last two years of which have been focused on the TTR threat. “And we have so many people from the original crew still all there. Every single KASM action over the years has contributed to this success.”
What they said about the TTR rejection ... “While we were a small group … there’s been about 8000 people behind us shouting and it’s a wonderful, wonderful result” - KASM member Wanda Barker “The bottom line is our New Zealand staff and consultants now have a very uncertain future, and the local community will not benefit from hundreds of new jobs and an estimated $240 million increase in GDP annually” - TTR boss Tim Crossley “It’s great that we’ve got a first victory and it will hopefully help with those who are fighting … against the same sorts of things” - local activist and academic Angeline Greensill He said the rejection of TTR’s application had given environmentalists like himself a sense of hope, and had set a global precedent against sand mining’s threat to the world’s oceans. The EPA panel’s ruling was not only a just decision, Phil told the Chronicle, but a bold and courageous one, given it went against the residing Government policy. There was no doubt National wanted ironsand mining to happen, he said. “If you’d looked at the information provided (by KASM to the hearings) you’d say yes, deny TTR, but if you thought about the Government agenda then of course the political pressure would make the decision go TTR’s way.” That’s why the text from a supporter
down-country – the one saying “TTR application denied” – came as such a surprise last week to KASM committee members, who gathered at Solscape eco retreat soon after for a celebration which captured media attention. Phil said KASM’s fight against TTR – from rallies and silent protests in the street to fundraising for legal costs of up to $30,000 – had been all-encompassing. And for him personally it meant being “fully immersed” in the politics of the sand mining issue like never before, particularly back in March and April with hearings running for six weeks in Wellington as well as for a week in both Taranaki and Hamilton. But it had all been worthwhile to get the message across that coastal communities didn’t want exploitive development of the TTR sort to fill the wallets of wealthy shareholders offshore. “We may have the technological ability to mine the ocean but we don’t have an understanding of the environmental impact,” he added. Phil said the KASM committee was now turning its attention to an application to mine phosphate nodules over a much bigger area on the Chatham Rise, about 450km offshore from Christchurch. The decision to turn down TTR’s application showed companies just how risky it was to invest in this sector, he said, noting that shares owned by investors in the Chatham Rise venture fell 20 percent once the South Taranaki result was announced. “This decision provides a pivot point for realignment of the compass to direct investment (in New Zealand) into more appropriate development,” he added of the estimated $60 million spent by TTR over six or seven years to get its application accepted. There was no shortage of iron ore in the world, he said, and it could be mined with far less (detrimental) effect elsewhere. TTR had 15 days to lodge an appeal in the High Court, which can only be made on points of law.

I spy a new info centre
R
aglan Information Centre is changing its colours.
The centre will now be known as ‘Raglan i’, changing its logos and signs to the green and white colours of i-SITE after being accepted into the well-known visitor information network. There are more than 80 i-SITEs around New Zealand. Kim Bredenbeck, general manager of the Waikato Enterprise Agency (WEA) charitable trust that runs the Raglan centre, said the changeover would elevate the significance of Raglan as a destination, as the area would be marketed offshore with the i-SITE brand and would attract more people because of the affiliation. “People know the i-SITE symbol,”
she said. “They know it means quality and strong local knowledge of where to go, where to stay, what to do.” WEA and Raglan-i had been gearing up for the change for the past year, looking at staff training and the presentation of the council-owned building. It also had to do a lot of paperwork and prove its systems could cater for visitors to a high standard. The last formality was a site visit by an i-SITE board representative on July 2. Raglan-i’s new sign would be up by then too. Currently the Raglan centre received about 19,000 visitors a year, which was “not bad” for a small place. They also tended to be quality visitors who stayed, ate and did things while here, as opposed to a passing-through
destination like Huntly, whose i-SITE received about 70,000 annual visitors. Te Aronui Maihi, manager of Raglan i, said the changeover would mean the three staff would have to wear uniforms and keep high professional standards but “our personalities will still be the same”. It would also mean access to cheaper staff training and to more tourism information generally. The centre would remain the booking agents for bus, ferry and shuttle travel – with the hope of adding train travel – and NZ Couriers, and would still book and promote accommodation, sell tickets for local events and handle entry fees for the Raglan Museum, she said.

Learning wishes make Maori New Year special for students Matariki, which is often referred to as the Maori New Year, is being celebrated with a twist this year at Raglan Area School as students make resolutions in the form of learning wishes. The students have transformed the foyer of the school library into a night sky with an array of stars, kites and learning wishes for Matariki, the Maori name for the cluster of seven stars known as Pleiades that emerges in the sky in mid-winter every year. Art teacher Jeanette McDonnellRata said students from all parts of the school had been involved in making the stars, using recycled material. “They’re not that easy to make there’s a lot of maths and geometry in this,” she said. Year 9 students made sparkly kites, which are a feature of Matariki because, according to ancient custom, they fly close to the stars. Younger students helped sew groups of seven stars together, while Year 10 students hung the display, giving the students “total ownership” of the work. Another positive aspect of the project was the writing of learning wishes, which ranged from “I wish for more sport in class and PE”, “I wish to learn more maths” and “I wish to learn more history about King Henry VIII during Passion Learning”, to “I want to fly” and “I want to be a famous singer”. “It’s a very cool student voice,” Ms McDonnell-Rata said, adding that the wishes would give teachers food for thought in the classroom too. The project would be an evolving display with the aim of creating 1000 stars, and the older students teaching some of the younger ones to make some of the artwork. Matariki translates to the ‘eyes of god’, referring to the myth when the sky father Ranginui and earth mother Papatūānuku were separated by their children, making the god of the winds, Tāwhirimātea, become so angry that he tore out his eyes and threw them into the heavens. With that myth in mind, NZ Post is issuing five Matariki stamps this

Matariki, widely celebrated on June 28 this year but continuing on into July, is not only a time to sing, dance and feast, but also to remember those who have died over the past year. The celebrations were once popular but were stopped in the 1940s, only to be revived in 2000 and since then have grown in popularity. In Raglan, there are various activities planned over June and July to celebrate Matariki. • ‘Matariki Manu Rere’ exhibition, a collaboration between Matapihi Art Gallery and the Raglan Old School Arts Centre, opens Saturday, June 28. • Waikato District Council is holding a Matariki short story and comic competition through its libraries • The Raglan Club is having a New Year Party on Friday, June 27. • Also check out Waikato Museum’s free “Matariki Magic” programme for the whole family in Hamilton on Saturday, June 28. • The Essence Of Youth Charitable Trust has arranged a Matariki celebrational talk from Dr Rawiri Karena and a Matariki mural design from local aerosol graff artist ‘Sear One’ on Friday, June 27 at Raglan Area School, 9am-3pm. Free. All welcome. Rachel Benn
Three more stars rise with Matariki Three Raglan Area School students are proving to be local rising stars of Matariki, after being chosen to participate in the NZ Area School Sports Competition in Nelson next month. Brenden DeRuysscher (basketball), Sean Dillon (volleyball) and Naumai Kereopa-Lloyd (netball) were chosen for the elite national competition after a gruelling three days of trials at Te Awamutu involving more than 200 central North Island area school students. Supported by Cyclery Raglan owner Dirk DeRuysscher and local sports events organiser Lisa Thomson, who in the last two years has given the students $1100 sponsorship from their Raglan Events and Multisport Trust, the competition could be a big break for the three if chosen by selectors to represent their sports at national level.
Raglan delivers regional volunteer Annual Plan adopted excellence two years running Waikato District Council formally adopted its Annual Plan on Tuesday.
The Annual Plan sets out what the Council hopes to achieve for the Waikato district in 2014/2015. It outlines key projects and includes a 1.89 per cent general rate increase. Waikato District Mayor Allan Sanson said the Council had agreed on a robust plan which met the needs of the community. “We’ve taken a good look across all areas of the business and have worked hard to keep the general rate increase to 1.89 per cent while still maintaining the level of service our community expects.” Key decisions made by the Council include the adoption of a bi-lingual signage policy for new instruction and information signs. Over $40,000 of additional grants and donations, going to: - Glen Afton/Pukemiro Society Incorporated -Matangi Community Committee - Puketaha School - Raglan Community Radio - Raglan Mountain Bike Club - Tamahere Reserve restoration planting - Taupiri Rugby Club - Te Kauwhata cenotaph - Tuakau Centennial Park lights - Tuakau Museum -Turangawaewae Rugby League Sports and Cultural Club - Woodlands.
Funding for community projects, which include: - New footpaths to address health and safety concerns - Toilet upgrades for Patterson Park, Ngaruawahia and Te Kauwhata towns - Prioritisation work for toilets - Facilities at the Onewhero Domain - Information boards for Taupiri - Emergency road works - Training for rural fire brigades. Mayor Sanson said he was really heartened by the level of community engagement during the Annual Plan process. “This year we held hearings in three different locations - Tuakau, Raglan and Ngaruawahia, making it easier for people to come and discuss their submissions with Council. “We heard 54 submissions in person and received 755 submissions in total, which might seem like a lot, but Council was motivated by this high response rate as it demonstrates our residents want to work with us to make the Waikato district an even better place to invest, live and visit. “It also showed the 12 public meetings Council held during the Annual Plan consultation phase really engaged our communities. “We would like to thank all the submitters for taking the time to share their views and especially those who shared these with us in person,” he said. The Annual Plan will be available from July in all Council offices and libraries and online at www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz. WDC
For the second year running, a Raglan local has taken the top award at this year’s Volunteering Waikato Volunteer Excellence Awards held in Hamilton on Friday night. Rodger Gallagher, who was nominated by the Raglan Community Arts Council for his leadership and contribution to the Old School Arts Centre, said he was surprised at receiving the Volunteer of the Year award. “There were nine people nominated [for the award]… Since Bob McLeod won last year, I thought my chances were slim,” he said. The awards, which showed recognition for volunteers throughout the Waikato region, invited nominations for three main awards individual, youth and team volunteers. Raglan Community Arts Council member Jean Carbon said the nomination for Mr Gallagher, who has volunteered with the Old School Art Centre since 2003, was made because of the hundreds of hours Mr Gallagher given to the centre. “He’s just been so giving, he gives so much of his time. “I perceive it has never been about monetary gain [for Mr Gallagher], and I’m hoping our community can see that,” Jean said. She said his voluntary contribution to the community stretched further afield than the Old School Arts Centre. “He’s also been really positive about the radio station [Raglan Community Radio] and preparing to

reaction when he won the award was worthwhile. “I was watching his face, he was really chuffed.” Marcia Ahern

The challenge is quite simple. “Attempt to consume no singleuse plastic during July.” Single-use plastic is anything that is intended to be used once then thrown away. “Single-use” includes plastic shopping bags, plastic cups, straws, plastic packaging ... basically anything that’s intended only to be used once and then sent to landfill. If refusing ALL single-use plastic sounds too daunting, then develop your own PLASTIC FREE CHALLENGE and choose one or all of the following “big four” single-use plastic items:
1 plastic (shopping) bags 2 disposable plastic cups and lids 3 plastic straws 4 plastic bottles

Piwiwiwi campervan rentals have been running in Raglan for 3 years. Owners, Anna Cunningham and Niall Darwin, have strived to be environmentally friendly from the onset of owning a business. “We talk to all of our customers before they take off on holiday about clean and green traveling. We do a
Welcome to our new sponsors!
The Shack is our newest sponsor, which is exciting
because we’ve been admiring their work for a long time. When we asked Justin Thomson, owner and manager, why he’s put in the extra effort to create an environmentally responsible business, his answer was simple. “It just seems natural. I believe in it.” Justin learned these values from his family, who were also in the restaurant business. Growing up, he learned from his family about living off the land, doing what they could to thrive sustainably and disposing of things properly. The Shack is now a Conscious Consumers certified café, with badges for composting, recycling, BYO containers and vege options.

What’s coming up...
This month: Plastic Free July! The Challenge
▬▬▬
The Rules Attempt to consume no single-use plastic for all or part of July. Remember it’s not going to be easy! It is a challenge, not a competition so don’t worry about being perfect. Collect any unavoidable single-use plastic you buy. Keep in a dilemma bag and share it at Plastics Anonymous meetings held every Thursday in July at 5pm at Harbourview Hotel. It’s up to you regarding how long you participate. You might decide to go plastic-free for a day, a week, a month or longer! However long you choose will still make a contribution. Why You Should Participate Why use something for a few seconds that is going to spend the rest of your life trying to break down in landfill? We really need to change our habits. Sign-up at www.plasticfreejuly.org lot of driving, so we got a Prius, which also reduces our fuel bill.” For every customer, they donate to Harbourcare to plant a tree, and are also investigating schemes with local landowners and charities to fully carbon-offset their business’s fuel use. Cleaning is a large part of the business. They find that the eco products work better than the chemical laden ones. Old copies of the Chornicle serve well to clean their windows! Niall and Anna were travelling in their own campervan during last year’s Plastic Free July. This experience inspired them to add to their van rentals. Now each van comes with a reusable Keepcup for coffee habits, a stainless steel water bottle, and Reclaim reusable vegetable bags. “People love it!” says Anna. “We’ve had some customers choosing to go with us because of our environmental policies. Other customers may not have been exposed to these ideas before, so it’s an awareness raising tool as well.” “It’s a case of making the right choices, and bearing

Niall says he just likes Earth the way it is and wants to have a nice place to live in fifty years time.
“It does cost a little more, for example training the staff to recycle and sort their waste effectively,” admits Justin, but The Shack’s customers love it. This month, The Shack will be joining other local businesses who support Plastic Free July by offering a .50 discount for customers who bring their own takeaway cup. The Shack sells reusable KeepCups in several styles. Customers get a free coffee with each KeepCup purchase!
We love the use of upcycling, reusable and second-hand items - like sugar in jars with vintage teaspoons - much better than single-use sugar packets!

t’s been a decade since Uku teenager, Flynn Bellerby, had his last ‘proper’ haircut, but he finally chopped it all off on Saturday and raised over $400 for the Starship Foundation. More than 14 people crammed into the small premises of the Raglan Barber shop on Wallis street to watch the 15-year-old lose his locks for the Starship Children’s Hospital charity. The Raglan Area School student said he was expecting a change in climate for his head after the shave. “I’m going down to Ohakune, soon [and] it’s gonna be quite cold.” Starship Foundation Community Fundraising Executive Sarah Woodhams said the Starship Foundation greatly appreciated

support for the children at Starship from members of the community like Flynn. “It’s wonderful news to hear that Flynn has so selflessly raised much needed funds for Starship,” Ms Woodhams said. Flynn’s mum, Sue Bellerby, said the generosity of people making donations towards Flynn’s haircut was overwhelming. “Everybody who donated… even people on the street, I just want to give a big thank-you,” she said. After the haircut, Flynn said he didn’t regret shaving his head and couldn’t wait to see people he hadn’t seen in a while. “I love it, but it just feels so weird when I touch my head.” Flynn was also thankful to Raglan Barber for kindly donating the cut.

Dispensary superfoods
Message from Health Clinic It’s has been extremely busy here at the clinic, measles, chickenpox, influenza and flu like illnesses linked with vomiting and diarrhoea are all doing the rounds at the minute. We are asking our patients for their continued patience as we are aware of how difficult it is to get through to us on the phone at the minute. Measles is a highly infectious disease and we have now four confirmed cases in Raglan; symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, sore red eyes, white spots inside the mouth and after 3 to 5 days a rash appears on the face and then moves down the body. If you suspect that you or a member of your family have the measles, ring the clinic and inform the receptionist who will pass this message to a nurse. DO NOT COME INTO THE CLINIC as you can infect others in the waiting room. A nurse will contact you and you will be brought into the clinic via the back door or assessed in your car as we need to keep confirmed and suspected cases in quarantine in order to protect the rest of the community. If you need to speak to a nurse for advice on the MMR vaccine, to obtain an immunisation certificate or a repeat prescription, please leave a message clearly stating your full name and a contact phone number and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We have increased our nursing staff over this busy period and again ask for your continued patience while we deal with these illnesses. WCHC
Here at The Herbal Dispensary we have seen a huge increase in the use of superfoods, with many of our customers now including them in their daily diet. In simple terms you can think of superfoods as being foods with an exceptionally high nutritional value which in turn are highly beneficial for your health. One of the our recent superfood additions is açaí powder. Açaí (pronounced Ah-sah-ee) is now known worldwide as a superfood because of its healthy benefits. For Brazilians, açaí has been a staple food for centuries, especially in the Amazon region. Below is a recipe which includes many super foods. These ‘Bliss Balls’ taste great and are super easy to make! Raw Cacao and Açaí Bliss Balls Recipe Simply throw ingredients into the blender and then roll into little balls. Ingredients: 1 Tbsp coconut oil 1/3 cup Pure Jungle organic açaí powder 2 Tbsp raw cacao powder 2 Tbsp coconut sugar 8 large dates (pitted and soaked for at least 4 hours) 1 Tbsp Almond butter 1 pinch sea salt Directions:Combine all ingredients in a mixer and wiz until a dense açaí dough has formed. With your hands roll the mixture into small balls.
Hair-Raising: Flynn Bellerby, 15, shaves his head in the name of charity and raises more than $400 for the Starship Foundation.
Measles in Raglan Superfood: Kirsty with organic acai powder
You can roll the balls in any of the following if you like cacao, coconut or chia seeds. Place the balls on a plate and refrigerate for one hour or longer before serving. If you can’t be bothered making bliss balls you can try Açaí powder in a fresh juice in-store anytime! See you soon at The Herbal Dispensary. 07 825 7444
Instructions continue to be relayed to the public as the community confronts measles. Raglan Area School has contacted all parents of the school to inform them that Population Health have notified the school that they now have 1 confirmed case of measles.
The school included the following message in their notification:- “ If your child/ren are not immunised, or are partially immunised, you are asked to keep them at home, in quarantine, until the 3rd July. Raglan Junior Soccer Club has also issued a statement via email after soliciting an opinion from WaiBOP (Waikato Bay of Plenty Football Federation) and Population Health. The Club, having been guided by Population Health directives, has also asked “if your child/dren are not immunised or are partially immunised, you are asked to keep them at home and to not attend soccer practices/ Saturday games until the 3rd July.”
