increase  and  the  Community  House  needs  to  be  in  a  position  to  meet  this  on-­going  community  need. The  Raglan  Community  House  Committee  spent  some  months  working  with  the  Waikato  District  Health  Board  management  about  the  need  for  extra  space.   As  the  DHB  management  were  not  prepared  to  compromise  on  the  existing  space,  or  changes  proposed,  the  Committee  had  no  choice  but  to  give  the  DHB  notice  to  vacate.   We  are  cognisant  of  the  huge  contribution  that  the  District  Nurses  make  to  our  community  but  it  needs  to  be  understood  that  the  services  have  evolved  over  time  with  the  majority  of  their  work  being  home  visits  and  no  longer  at  treatment  rooms.   Their  time  at  base  is  very  limited  being  generally  early  morning  and  late  afternoon  and  could  be  managed  from  alternative  premises  without  compromising  service  delivery.    In  recognition  of  the  need  to  minimise  the  disruption  of  services  within  the  community  a  three  month  notice  period  was  given  and  extended  at  the  request  of  the  DHB  to  mid-­ January  2013. Whilst  the  need  to  relocate  the  District  Nurses  is  regrettable  it  is  also  cause  for  celebration  that  the  Community  House  and  the  services  it  offers  are  being  increasingly  accessed  by,  and  are  available  to,  members  of  our  community.   Twenty  two  years  ago,  the  two  organisations  came  together  IRU WKH EHQHÂżW RI WKH FRPPXQLW\ DQG now,  both  groups  have  grown  to  the  point  that  they  are  capable  of  standing  alone  and  independent  but  will  continue  an  on-­going  professional  working  relationship.  Â

Stolen goods recovered from burglaries in the Ruapuke area

A  month  ago  Raglan  police  launched  a  public  campaign  to  revitalise  Neighbourhood  Support  Groups,  and  that  was  backed  up  last  week  with  a  challenge  by  the  local  acting  sergeant,  Andrew  Mortimore,  for  urban  residents  to  be  as  proactive  as  the  rural  Raglan  community  in  thwarting  criminals.   His  challenge  came  after  the  Ruapuke  Rural  Support  Group  played  what  he  described  as  a  â€œcrucial  partâ€?  in  the  arrest  of  a  trio  of  burglars. The  calls  to  action  have  had  the  desired  effect:   Neighbourhood  Support  area  co-­ordinator  Kathy  *LOEHUW FRQÂżUPHG WR WKH &KURQLFOH this  week  that  40-­odd  urban  residents  had  now  come  forward  and  offered  to  act  as  street  co-­ordinators  for  the  scheme. “It’s  been  a  wonderful  response,â€?  said  Kathy,  a  volunteer  worker  at  the  Raglan  police  station. She  said  she  was  now  organising  letterbox  drops  around  town  via  packs  sent  to  the  new  street  co-­ordinators,  and  hoped  to  have  a  number  of  new  Neighbourhood  Support  Groups  up  and  running  shortly.  â€œIt  will  be  people  taking  care  of  each  other  like  families,  and  building  strong  communities.â€? Mr  Mortimore  was  full  of  praise  for  the  Ruapuke  community  vigilance  and  action  which  led  to  the  arrest  of  three  males  â€“  aged  34,  25  and  14  â€“  and  their  appearances  in  the  Hamilton  District  and  Youth  Courts  on  burglary  charges. “Here  in  Raglan  we’re  blessed  with  a  very  proactive  rural  community  and  members  of  a  Rural  Support  Group  had  noticed  a  vehicle  towing  a  trailer  acting  suspiciously  and  phoned  police,â€?  he  said. “The  vehicle  was  seen  going  up  a  number  of  driveways  on  Ruapuke  and  Whaanga  Roads  and,  because  we  were  provided  with  the  registration  number,  RIÂżFHUV ZHUH DEOH WR UHFRJQLVH WKLV vehicle  as  one  linked  to  a  number  of Â

scrap  metal  thefts.â€? He  said  police  located  the  vehicle  on  Ruapuke  Road,  and  a  search  under  the  Search  and  Surveillance  Act  revealed  several  items  of  interest  that  ZHUH ODWHU LGHQWLÂżHG DV KDYLQJ EHHQ stolen. “The  key  things  that  led  to  the  trio’s  arrest  were  the  relaying  of  timely  and  accurate  information  to  the  police  â€Ś  from  the  Rural  Support  Group  members,  which  made  all  the  difference.â€? Mr  Mortimore  said  if  this  sense  of  community  could  be  replicated  in  Raglan  town  then  together  residents  and  police  could  be  effective  in  preventing  crime. “Too  often  over  here  [in  Raglan]  we  come  across  the  old  â€˜she’ll  be  right’  attitude.   Such  was  the  case  at  one  property  the  offenders  targeted,  which  had  been  left  unlocked  â€“  making  it  easy  for  the  thieves  to  gain  entry,â€?  he  said. “People  still  think  it  won’t  happen  to  them  but  when  it  does  they  are  left  asking  why.â€? His  advice  to  urban  residents:   â€œInstead  of  waiting  to  become  a  victim  look  at  the  bigger  picture,  get  together  with  neighbours  and  form  a  Neighbourhood  Support  Group  so  thieves  know  it’s  not  okay  to   target  homes  in  Raglan.â€? But  the  acting  Raglan  police  chief  was  happier  with  his  lot  by  this  week  as  urban  volunteer  numbers  pushed  out  beyond  the  40  mark.  â€œPeople  have  really  come  on  board  with  the  concept  of  Neighbourhood  Support  â€“  I  am  really  happy  with  the  public  support,â€?  he  said. The  co-­ordinator  of  the  Ruapuke  group,  who  preferred  not  to  be  named,  said  her  group  had  been  running  about  a  year  now  and  involved  25-­30  households. “It’s  really  good  for  us  to  call  and  look  out  for  each  other  â€“  everybody  here  feels  it’s  a  good,  positive  thing  that  creates  a  safer  environment.   You  NQRZ WKH RQHV FRPLQJ IRU VXUÂżQJ DQG ÂżVKLQJ DQG >FRQYHUVHO\@ ZKHQ someone  shouldn’t  be  hanging  round.â€?      Edith  Symes

Opinion: Assets Sale by Ian McKissack

I  have  to  confess  I  hadn’t  thought  a  lot  about  the  opposition  to  asset  sales  until  I  read  an  article*  about  the  privatisation  of  electricity  in  Britain.  As  a  consumer,  you  have  very  little  power  over  private  suppliers  in  the  way  that  you  can  when  the  supplier  is  the  government  or  its  delegated  bureaucracies.  After  privatisation  ownership  may  be  spread  globally.  Among  those  involved  in  owning  the  suppliers  in  Britain  is  the  French  electricity  power  company  EDF,  itself  still  state  owned  in  France,  plus  East  $VLDÂśV ULFKHVW PDQ Âą /L .D VKLQJ :DUUHQ %XIIHW and  a  consortium  of  the  Commonwealth  Bank  of  Australia  and  a  J.P.  Morgan  Investment  fund. ,Q D VHQVH \RX FRXOG VD\ WKDW WKLV LV MXVW WKH QHZ world  of  global  capitalism,  like  it  or  lump  it.  But  maybe  you  shouldn’t  lump  it  in  this  case  because  your  modern  way  of  life  depends  on  a  reliable  and  reasonably  priced  power  supply.  Resistance  to  the  LGHD RI SULYDWLVDWLRQ RI NH\ UHVRXUFHV LV QRW MXVW D sort  of  out  of  date  Socialism.  It  comes  from  a  deeper Â

sense  of  the  need  to  draw  a  line  in  the  developing  philosophy  that  everything  is  for  sale,  competition  and  choice  are  good  for  us.  The  problem  arises  from  the  fact  the  suppliers  of  power  may  reduce  competition,  by  amalgamation  for  instance,  or  forming  a  cartel  covertly.  Basically  they  will  do  what  WKH\ FDQ WR PD[LPLVH SURÂżW DQG UHGXFH FRQVXPHUÂśV ability  to  protect  themselves  from  exploitation. Luckily  the  issue  of  who  owns  water,  if  anyone,  has  thrown  a  great  big  spanner  in  the  NZ  privitisation  agenda.  There  may  well  be  other  road  blocks  like  the  state  of  the  market  if  and  when  the  government  gets  clear  of  obstacles  to  implementing  its  policy.  A  little  twist  I  liked  in  the  article  below  was  the  claim  that  WKH ÂżUVW XVH RI WKH ZRUG SULYDWLVDWLRQ RU LWV HTXLYDOHQW was  in  German  Fascist  circles  in  the  1930s.  Not  relevant,  but  interesting *James  Meek,  â€˜How  We  Happened  to  Sell  Off  Our  Electricity’.  London  Review  of  Books.  13  September  2012.
