Dear Editor It’s time to protect our reserves, especially Mt. Karioi. In the last couple of years, I have noticed hacking of our bush (kawa kawa etc.) especially under pungha trees. This is illegal. Whoever is doing this in our reserves (especially Upper Wainui, Bryant Home), stop it. This is for our native birds (kiwi’s, fantails, insects and especially us.) And what makes our ecosystem, if you keep hacking away, we have lost. Please let’s protect our reserves for birds and future generations to enjoy. The mountain is all we have left. Raglan stop this rape. Protect this last piece of beautiful bush on Mt. Karioi and all reserves in NZ. Let’s replant our bush please. IJ Regnier, Raglan

Raglan commuter intent on driving a message home And TradeMe is the vehicle by which Renee Boyer­Willisson â€“ desperate to give back to Hamilton’s Topperwien family, who supported her recently through her daughter’s brush with cancer â€“ is offering the whole of the Cube as a â€œtravelling advertisementâ€? for the successful bidder. As manager of academic admin at Waikato University, Renee not only commutes daily between Raglan and Hamilton but also travels frequently to Auckland and other parts of the North Island so there’s plenty of potential exposure, she says.

Renee admits there’s not been a lot of movement on the Trade Me site yet but she’s hoping a bit more publicity will create the interest. â€œI hope to raise at least $5000 for the family.â€?

A Collective Approach to Tourism Marketing As the last few weeks have shown, when the weather’s right, Raglan transforms into a tourist mecca. But, as the earlier “summer” season has shown, we would be unwise to rely solely on the weather to attract visitors and customers to our businesses. To change the traditionally slow periods over the winter months we need to think differently.

Girl Power: All smiles before the race

Last Sunday, a small contingent of nine Raglan women traveled to Auckland to compete in the Contact TriWomen All Female Triathlon Series held at Point Chevalier. Starting out as a new year’s resolution for !"#$%&' ()"*+,' -.' /0,-' 1.2&30' "34' 5-' "0"&367' -8,' triathlon involved a 300m swim, 7.6km bike followed by a 3km run. “I found the website for the TriWomen series and I thought it looked nice and not so intimidating being an all­girls triathlon,” says Jacqui. Recruiting a group of like­minded women who were also recent mothers like herself, Jacqui and the women trained for around 3 months prior to the event. Waking up at 5:30 in the morning, six days a week, the women trained hard and were rewarded by achieving what they set out to do. “Just being able to set a goal and achieve it and

being able to achieve it with other women was a highlight, “ said participant Celeste Duston, “It proved that we could do it.” With many of the group having had children in the past few years, it was a huge motivation for them to get back into the routine of getting their bodies really moving and working up a sweat. /' 9-:;' 4&<5#%)-' -.' =%-' >.%*;,)<' 5*;-' ?8,3' >.%' have kids so it was quite nice to just do it instead of making excuses. I really enjoyed training and getting out of bed every morning and getting into a routine ­ I think the other girls pushed themselves pretty hard too,” says Jacqui. Now that the triathlon is done and dusted, some of the women are looking for another challenge with some of the girls setting their sights on the grueling Karioi Classic in July. A big congratulations go out to Celeste, Rachel, Charlene, Angela, Jacqui, Tanya, Fiona, Tracey and Renee for their efforts at the Contact TriWomen Triathlon. Maki Nishiyama

What can we do to smooth over these choppy and !"#!$%#&' ()!*%"!!' +),-)#-*$%!. It’s easy to shrug your shoulders and concede that you can’t control the weather and submit to the inevitable downturn. However, the Raglan Chamber and it’s members believe we can make a difference by engaging in some time proven, collective marketing activities. Rather than each business spending extraordinary amounts of money on advertising, we can !""#$"%&$&'("%&)'($("$'*'&+",'$)-,$.','/0$1&"2$-,$'11')03*'$ marketing campaign that costs very little to operate. Our new i-deal promotion is a cooperative initiative which focuses on low cost, often unconventional and creative marketing strategies. This type of marketing relies on time, energy and imagination rather than a big marketing budget. The Chamber is now developing a cohesive marketing strategy that will promote Raglan in engaging ways that expand our traditional visitor markets domestically and internationally.

The goal of the promotion is to leverage the locations and the staff expertise of the 2 Waikato Enterprise Agency backed i-sites to give visitors to the region an incentive to Discover Raglan during the traditionally quieter trading months of June -September. The incentive for travellers will be a value added Raglan Business i-deal card offering promotions and off season discounts from a wide range of participating Raglan businesses i.e. accommodation, eateries, shops, activities and studios. Businesses marketing collectively through the i-deal card will create a substantial enticement for a visitor to come to Raglan and to “stay and play” longer. This campaign will be run on a shared low cost basis - only $30 for participating businesses. A typical i-Deal business promotion can take the form of a straight % discount or an added value feature such as, ‘buy 1 get one free’ etc. You are encouraged to be creative to enhance the spend and stay of these new customers. For more information on this promotion or CoC membership go to our website at www.raglanchamber.co.nz. Please contact Anthea at Raglan’s i-site 825-0556 or by Email anthea@raglan.org.nz with your i-deal. Act NOW! We need your i-deal information by 11 May.

There were other such challenges to try your skills at also, and the idea was to rotate around all the challenges to give them a go. This proved very poplar with our sponsors and players.

Opinion: Democracy and protest by Ian McKissack

Registered Valuers Property Consultants

With a hikoi travelling down the North Island to protest against asset sales and other ventures like seabed exploration and drilling it becomes clear that the Government is out of line with many in the electorate. This seems odd since it is not long since we had an election with National getting back in with a substantial majority over any other party. Asset sales were clearly in the policy outline and none of the seabed issues are particularly new. One comment has been that poor voter turnout was

an important factor in the election result, so perhaps we are now suffering the effects of apathy. In addition, John Key has developed such a positive persona that people feel he is a pair of safe political hands in %'+.%.7"%$$*'(4&54$1.(':)&$8;'?(' is certainly worth considering whether our democracy is in a safe state if too much emphasis is placed on a leader, based on his public persona.

MAINTENANCE MAY. Gardening in all seasons is full on ­ what you do in one season effects the results you get in future seasons. After gardening for years, your mind has a diary of events or jobs to do. It is like every new moon starts another month of events in the garden. !"#"$%&' ()' #*' +,-"./0' "(' ",' the season, weather, size and time of the tide. Gardening is no different. It is not a rush of blood in the spring to get it all going, it is something you keep working on throughout the whole year. May usually means the trimming of hedges, bushes and fruit trees (as the leaves are lost) and letting more winter light and warmth into the garden. Use the leaves and cuttings as compost and mulch. Empty your compost bins and dig in to soil ­ plus don’t forget to add a bit of garden lime. Large potted plants need the same, repot with fresh soil/compost. Trim all your herbs and lavenders to stop them growing woody and encourage fresh new growth. If you choose to spray, now is the time for double strength winter oil, copper and sulphur sprays on roses and fruit trees ­ but it is a personal choice. We have heaps of praying mantises around now doing excellent work and you would not want to destroy these helpful insects. Cover crops of oats, lupines and mustard is advantageous at this time and needs to be dug in by October. Divide up your strawberry plants and replant all with black plastic or heaps of mulch. The new moon is late every month ­ on the 21st. Seed planting is up to the 7th of each month. Plan for the shortest day, (22nd June) that is garlic and shallot planting day and
