both attend separate schools in Hamilton. They played rugby against each other until their school rugby coaches nominated them for the Waikato team.

They were up against 60 other secondary school girls from around the Waikato and after a trial game, they were both chosen. “I was surprised, it was a good for free quotes & quality workmanship WeatherMap - New Zealand weather forecasts shock.

three weeks. The first game, against Counties Manukau was a nerveracking experience. Lexi, 15, said she felt nervous during that first game and that Counties gave the team a “run for your money,” “It was a good win though [but] oh my God we got so dirty,” said Savon. Both girls said that the confidence boost of the first game was immeasurable and, with the experience and training from the coaches, they were better off for it. “Our coaches allowed us to understand which position would suit us. “They want the strongest team, so we get to try things,” said Lexi. There’s a “vibe” of team spirit with rugby, which is what both girls said they liked about representing Waikato. The selection of the team usually involves rival players initially playing together as one team which, at first, both Savon and Lexi admit, was a hurdle to get over. However, Lexi said everyone on the team quickly realised that “everyone has to have each other’s backs.” “You can’t win if you’re not a team player,” said Savon. After four games against Counties Manukau, Thames Valley, Bay of Plenty and Auckland West, the Waikato Secondary Schools Under 18 Girls’ rugby team came third in the Northern Regions championship having won three out of four games. Both girls said they enjoyed representing Waikato and will try for next year. They know of other girls in Raglan who would, and should, try for the team. “Youhttp://www.weathermap.co.nz/?p=ragla get really fit, you get really tough. “Give it a go.” Marcia Ahern

March educates locals on the TPPA

ou may have seen the ‘No TPPA’ signs around town or seen the TPPA protest march in Raglan on Saturday and wondered what the fuss was all about. For many of the 300 people who marched along Bow Street on Saturday morning it was about protecting the future of New Zealand for coming generations and maintaining the country’s right to determine its own laws and regulations. The Trans-Pacific Partership Agreement (TPPA) is a US-led trade agreement involving 12 countries, including New Zealand, Australia, the United States and Japan, that has been under negotiation for the past few years. Opponents have criticised the secrecy around the TPPA talks, the extensive scope of the TPPA – which will cover 40 percent of global trade - and how it allows companies to take direct legal action against governments over laws they consider unfair. As part of an ongoing campaign against the TPPA, a national day of action was held on Saturday to coincide with a meeting of the 12 TPP trade ministers in Beijing around APEC. Marches and rallies were held in about 17 places around New Zealand the same day, kicked off by the march in Raglan. “We don’t want anything like this to go ahead,” said one of the marchers, Mike Haugh. “It would compromise everything for our kids.” “For me, it’s about my children’s future,” said another marcher, Kara Tapara. “If this happens, they won’t have a say in anything.” Local doctor Mike Loten and his family were marching to protest about the TPPA’s potential to raise the cost of medicines. “It would impact on the [country’s] ability to deliver affordable healthcare,” Mike said. “The issue for me is that we’re not a sovereign state anymore,” said retired professor Grant Cushman. “Democracy is diminshed as a consequence of these sorts of policies.” Before the march, the diverse crowd of young and old, Maori and Pakeha, was

Protesters voice their feelings about the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement in a march along Bow Street on Saturday. addressed by Mana Party candidate Angeline Greensill, who said it was important to educate the public about the ramifications of the TPPA. “What it is is a loss of our freedom to international corporations,” Angeline told the rally. “We voted in a government {in New Zealand], we didn’t vote in corporations.” Local TPPA opponent Emily Gilbert told the crowd that New Zealand was not alone in its protest, as people in the other 11 countries were opposed to the trade deal also. She had learnt from the seabed mining fight in Raglan that small groups of people could make a difference, and urged people to

maintain the pressure on Government. “This is only the beginning,” Emily added. “This is about educating everybody.” Raglan environmentalist Malibu Hamilton said the TPPA was unjust: “It’s a breach of our sovereignty. It’s a breach of our rights.” Before the march members of local band Cornerstone Roots entertained the gathering with some music and two anti-TPPA petitions, one regional and one national, were being signed. Lisa Thomson, one of the march oganisers, was pleased with the turnout, saying she was surprised at the wide variety of people who disagreed with the TPPA. Rachel Benn

Raglan hosts big fly-in T he skies around Raglan last weekend were a’buzz with small aircraft from all over the country for the big Black Sands Fly-In. The Waikato Thames Valley Chapter of the Sport Aircraft Association hosted the event, which was one of the biggest fly-ins in the country, said chapter secretary Bruce Cook. This was the tenth time the Black Sand Fly-In had been held in Raglan. This time a record 81 planes came – from as far away as Fairlie in South Canterbury - and the event was growing in popularity as Raglan was one of the best places in New Zealand for this type of event. “Everyone just loves it. The whole environment is just so suited to this type of work,” Bruce said. Chapter member Pete Sanders said most of the aircraft that came were home built, either from a kit or from scratch, with a few factory built models and a few general aviation planes, such as Cessnas. For the first time, two motorgliders also made an appearance at the fly-in.

Plane enthusiasts got the chance to see many different aircraft that were parked at the Raglan airfield over the weekend during the Black Sand Fly-In. The meeting offered a chance for aircraft owners and enthusiasts to get together socially, talk planes and catch up on news, Pete said. “All they [the participants] have in common is aircraft and an interest in building.” Planes were flying in and out over Saturday and Sunday. Some of the planes went up the coast to land at Gibsons Beach on the first day, as part of a workshop on the special techniques, legalities and hazards

around beach landings. Participants came together for lunch both days and for breakfast on Sunday but otherwise made their own arrangements. Raglan was the perfect place for the fly-in because of the good accommodation and amentities and the support from local council. Pete said the chapter had built up good relationships with everybody here over the years. Rachel Benn

hostilities – that’s the Armistice thing,” Alf said. The Raglan RSA had about 70 members, breaking away from the Hamilton branch about four years ago to go out on its own. Alf encouraged people to join the Raglan branch otherwise it would die out and said anyone, not just those who had served in the armed forces, were welcome to join. Rachel Benn

Opinion: Outside looking in About three weeks ago, the difference in town was evident. Suddenly, I recognized Raglan for what it is on the world stage: a destination. And as we head into the summer, my first in Raglan, I understand more about where I’ve made my home. The very first sign was the visual beauty that started to appear around town. Not the youthful travelers here to do whatever they’re here for. It is the random appearance of women. Gorgeous, exotic, sultry, ‘turn your head am I really seeing this here’…kind of women. They are most assuredly from another country here to spoil us with the change of season. Without intending to offend the women of Raglan, other ports in the world also eagerly welcome visitors in the same way. I’m just partial to beauty and thus far, it is the female variety. However, there is a second sign: the bubbling apprehension of the business owners. This is their time to reap the benefits of the tourist dollar, and they lay in wait. I dare say pounce, but we’re not to that defining moment just yet. And with that brand of eagerness, comes customer service; which is quite the anomaly, as grace and service are particularly scarce in New Zealand, notwithstanding the increasing advent of the tip jar in Raglan. Bottom line? This is a beautiful beach town. And after surviving the coastal elements of winter, the sun is out, the shoes are off, the water beckons, the bbq’s are firing up, and we still live in one of the most exquisite places on earth.

The Raglan Roosters put 3 goals past former All Whites goalkeeper, James Bannatyne, before ultimately losing 5-3 to the FIFA invitational side. Images thanks to Leanne Roughton

aglan Roosters had its most exciting loss of the season on Saturday when it was beaten by the invitational FIFA Under-20/Over 20s side that included former All Whites James Bannatyne.

Roosters captain Bjorn Ledwig said the soccer game in Raglan on Saturday was quite an event, and getting three goals past the former All Whites goalie was no small achievement. “It was the most exciting thing that has happened to the club in a while,” Bjorn said of the game, which ended in a 3-5 loss to the Roosters, winners of the Waikato Sunday Social League first division. The game was the first of several exhibition matches around Waikato to raise awareness about the FIFA U-20 World Cup next year, which New Zealand is hosting for the first time. Eight of the 52 games will be held in Hamilton. James, who was also Hamilton sales and marketing manager for the world cup, hoped that a group of Raglan fans would

come to the games “flying the Raglan colours” and support the tournament. He said Saturday’s match in Raglan was a great family event that had a “real festive feel” about it. Junior soccer players had a kick around before the adults’ game and enjoyed the inflatable kick wall set up at the Te Kopua soccer field. Some fans also tried their luck shooting for goal against James at half time. In addition to James, who was goalie for the All Whites off and on for about 10 years until 2010, the FIFA U-20 Over 20 team included some national women representatives from the Football Ferns and Hamilton East MP David Bennett. Football Fern Helen Collins, who could not play for the invitational team because of injury, came along to support the occasion. She said the world cup would help raise the profile of the sport and was an opportunity to see the next world soccer stars. Bjorn said it was “mind blowing” to think that some of the players New Zealanders would see at the world cup

‘The King’ to visit Raglan Club ationally acclaimed ‘Elvis’ N performer Steve Fitter calls Raglan home these days and on Saturday 15 November he will be delivering his first performance here and all in aid of a a really worthy local cause.

For a ticket entry of $10 those who attend the show at the Raglan Club will not only be thoroughly entertained by Steve’s uncanny ability to sound like the real thing but will be directly helping Raglan’s RSA to re-house its precious memorabilia in purpose built display cabinets. “All the proceeds from the door-sales will be given to the RSA for their new display spaces at the entrance of the Raglan Club. It’s a project gathering energy as we approach ANZAC 2015 and the centenary of New Zealand’s involvement in WW1. We’re very grateful to Steve for donating

his talent to do this gig at the club,” says Chris Lourie, Raglan Club’s Manager. Steve has sung alongside some of the top Elvis tribute artists in the world though it was relatively recently he began his performance career. “My wife Tracey entered me in a talent contest in Cambridge in 2010 which I won and the next year I took out the ‘Elvis Down Under’ competition in Wellington so it’s been an amazing last few years,” says Steve. Here’s a chance for everyone who remembers and loves ‘The King’ to step back into that so special time, get on the dance floor and do some serious rock ‘n rolling and bring a special project one step closer to fruition. Tickets now available at Raglan Club or on the night. Show starts at 8 pm. Sue Russell

next year would become multi-million dollar earning superstars over the next few years for clubs like Manchester United or Barcelona. “When you think about it [the 2015 world cup], it’s extremely special,” Bjorn said. Rachel Benn

Old car tyres the key in drive to salvage seaside shed and stage H

undreds of old car tyres – bolted together in threes and filled with sand – are being built up into a retaining wall at Wainamu or Ocean Beach in a bid to save the shed-cum-stage across from the Kokiri Centre and Kohanga Reo from falling into the sea. “This is our land,” says hapu environmental advocate Angeline Greensill of the area, which is part of the ancestral land her land rights activist mother Eva Rickard campaigned to have returned to local Maori several decades ago. These days it is the encroaching sea that is the threat: even Angeline’s own bach a stone’s throw away at the end of Riria Kereopa Memorial Drive looked set to topple into the ocean some years ago, though in that case the sand banks have built up again. In recent years the threat has moved further east and her whanau’s now concerned at how the spring tides and prevailing winds have caused the bank on the seaward side of the kohanga stage

 



to collapse, posing a health and safety risk to beachgoers forced at high tide to walk up onto the unstable land. The area’s flanked on both sides by two Ngaio trees – significant in Maori mythology – which have survived despite no longer being on solid ground, their exposed roots clinging to the side of the slope. “We’re trying to put some sort of (non-structural) platform or wall, solid and secure, in place,” Angeline told the Chronicle last Saturday before donning overalls to help husband Alan and father Tex Rickard, now 90, by filling in a few tyres. The plan is to plant coastal creepers to try and hold the banks in the future, Tex explained. “It’s a big project.” For many years he’s staunchly built up fascines – with brush from macrocarpa woven between strong sticks embedded in the sand – to help trap the sand and raise the level of that part of the beach which is prone to erosion. But now there’s no brush available, laments Angeline, and

Last-ditch stand: Angeline Greensill checks progress on the retaining wall she hopes will save a shed at the Kokiri Centre from the encroaching sea. it’s the northerly winds that bring the sand for the fascines not the prevailing sou’westers. So planting grasses like spinifex and possibly ice flowers – from the kokiri nursery – in the sand-filled tyres being placed on the gravityslope is the smart thing to do, she adds. “It’s a waste of time putting spinifex into clay (from the bank).” Angeline would like to be able to replenish the area with sand that’s built up into a spit just east of Ocean Beach, towards the airfield. But she knows that would only be possible if a vacuum suction system like that used on the Gold Coast of Australia was available here.

Despite not normally being a supporter of the use of tyres in earthworks like this, the situation is critical and she hopes this “trial” run will save the stage her people – the Tainui hapu of Raglan – hope soon to be using again for festivals. Angeline points to the tyres placed years ago by Waikato District Council, further down the beach on the northern side of Kopua Holiday Park, as evidence of successful erosion control. “But we can’t wait for council,” she adds. She says she’s already spoken to the council and it has no immediate solution to the problem. The Maori land – which includes

the old golf course area her famous mother successfully campaigned to have returned to local Tainui people in the’70s – is part of what’s known as blocks three and four and run by a charitable organisation, Whaingaroa Ki te Whenua, of which Angeline is secretary. With a coastal scientist coming to advise within the fortnight, Angeline is hopeful their plan of action to stabilise the bank by the end of this month will work. She says she’s seen too much land carved away already, and observes that “the sea is merciless if you don’t do your job properly”. Edith Symes

RAGLAN Chronicle 7

Broadcasting from a

cupboard in the School Hall

Raglan Community Radio went to air on 5th November 1994 from a small room in the Area School gymnasium with a six month temporary license. While the DJs got to work behind the microphone, enthusiastic supporters set up a speaker in Bow St and sold supporter cards. The idea for a radio station came from Raglan Area School Principal Beau Rewiti who had a background in broadcasting and wanted to offer it as a learning option for students. There was wide support from the community and early in 1994 the Ministry Of Commerce allocated the 96.6FM frequency to the steering group, but they weren’t allowed to broadcast over more than half the town! Broadcasts were maintained from 6am to 10pm and then switched off as the station couldn’t run without a DJ in the studio. A surge in Gangsta Rap played by unsupervised students at lunch time took its toll on the listeners and with Beau Rewiti leaving in 1995 the station began to shift its focus away from the school and toward the community who were keen on a true community station.

The station entered the age of automation when it purchased a 10 disc CD Stacker in 1996. Strange as it seems now this was a huge step up as the music could keep playing after the DJ left - even if it was just a selection of their ten favourite CDs! The station crew was eager to get downtown and get a better connection with the community but they wouldn’t achieve that goal until 1999. In the meantime they got busy organising great socials for DJs, the Ten Guitars Acoustic

Challenge and the Band Wars. The Band Wars in particular had some great performances and decent prizes and were a great launching pad for a number of local musicians. RCR finally shifted downtown on 2nd April 1999 (the 1st of April was thought to be a bad omen) and an attempt to revive the station was put into operation… Only to be met with a stiff rebuke from the Ministry of Commerce who don’t like it when radio stations go walkabout. They had been alerted to the new location at the bottom of Bow St after the transmission interfered with TV reception at the Harbourview Hotel. The MOC told the station to cease broadcasting as the location didn’t match the licensed location and RCR spent much of the year off the air. In August 2000 the station received approval from the Town Hall Committee to move into the old band room in the front of the town hall. The shift represented a new lease on life for the station and the year ended with a full DJ roster and a growing audience…but as per station tradition rough seas were ahead. RCR was hit by a financial crisis in 2001. The new treasurer came close to using her own money to pay a bill one particular week but after some reorganisation things picked up and the station soon stabilised. Despite the problems behind the scenes RCR was going from strength to strength on the air. The DJs were still pumping out their shows with enthusiasm and long-time station techie Andy Fendall had just invented a basic auto-DJ program. They happily unplugged the old 10-disc changer and entered the digital age with a new found ability to broadcast their full database of music 24 hours a day – except when forgetful DJs failed to hit the big red auto button after their shift! The DJs were a wild and disorganised bunch and the station required a lot of effort to run in the early 2000s but most agreed this was a small price to pay for the huge variety of shows and the high levels of enthusiasm shown by the community.

Improving the Dodgy Transmission became the new focus once the station was on a solid footing and on 27th July 2006 RCR changed to 98.1FM and began transmitting from the cell phone tower site above Xtreme Waste. The studio technology also received an overhaul with the most notable addition being the silence detector, which would start up a backup playlist whenever it detected 45 seconds of silence (usually caused by DJ error!). Changes in technology also resulted in the arrival of competition in Raglan for the first time. New broadcast rules meant that anyone with a $1000 transmitter and an old computer was able to set up their own station in the ‘guard bands’ at either end of the FM spectrum. Internal disagreement about what could be broadcast on Raglan Community Radio consequently led to the formation of Tractor FM with many of the DJs switching over to that station sometime around 2006/7. Yet another worrying moment in the station’s history arrived in 2010 when the committee was forced to conclude that relying on volunteers was no longer enough and they started to explore various options, including closing down. After lots of research and brainstorming the committee decided to employ a station manager for 30 hours a week. The plan was to take the load off the volunteers and run a weekday morning show that would at last meet the need for local information. The new Station Manager went to work on 3rd September 2012 and has continued to this day. Raglan Community Radio has charitable status and is an incorporated society run by a committee which is elected by members at an AGM. Your community station has lived through 20 years of massive change in Broadcasting, and while Spotify and Youtube are eating into commercial radio audiences, RCR has actually had a rise in numbers as people look to keep in touch with their local community.

RCR wishes to acknowledge the support of the many local businesses who have advertised with us over the last twenty years – we couldn’t have survived without your contribution. We also want to thank the off air volunteers and many DJs who have added colour and life to the raglan community over the years.

Civil Defence In conjunction with the Raglan Lions Raglan Community Radio is now fully equipped to broadcast when the power is down or even if the studio has to be evacuated. Thanks to a grant from Fonterra we have broadcast equipment stored offsite especially for use in an emergency. Hopefully we’ll never need to use it but in the event of a Civil Defence emergency don’t forget to tune in to 98.1FM.

Xtreme Radio

Another group of Raglan community members set up Xtreme Waste in 2000 with the aim of turning Raglan into a recycling town. Part of their mission included educating the public about recycling and they say Raglan Community Radio was an invaluable tool for connecting with the local community.
