Tagging is at an all time high in a number of our Waikato towns, yet fewer people are reporting it to the council. Confused? I certainly am.

This is a community problem and we need to take ownership of the issue. If we do this, we have the potential to reduce it dramatically. We can work to reduce graffiti at the source – through education and awareness, and we can support those who are working to clean up the problem. Our local police, Waikato District Council’s community development co-ordinator and our asset maintenance team are working towards this. With the support of the community, their efforts will have a far greater effect. The council team work on cleaning up the problem while educating young people at the same time. There are a range of anti-tagging programmes available for schools that involve hands-on removal and resources for students. Cameras can be effective in reducing crime, including graffiti by identifying the offenders. The Camera Trust set up by NZ Police and supported by Waikato District Council, funds and operates cameras in high risk urban locations including Huntly and Ngaruawahia. There are plans to introduce camera surveillance in Raglan over the holiday period and the trust has the capability to install temporary cameras in selected hotspots across the district. Recently the Waikato Times named and shamed a tagger and I applaud them for doing so. While this may appear harsh, it may help reduce reoffending. I also like the idea of revitalising our community support networks like Neighbourhood Watch.

Tagging on public buildings, signage and facilities is removed by council staff. In many areas, community groups have formed to remove tagging from private property. However, there are still areas in the district where volunteers are needed. If you are interested in supporting your community this way, please contact the community development co-ordinator at our Ngaruawahia office. Let’s work together as a community to reduce the WeatherMap - New Zealand weather forecasts http://www.weathermap.co.nz/?p=raglan problem.

New medical centre honours Dr Tom It will be a satellite clinic to Te Kohao Health in Hamilton East where Dr Tom, as he was affectionately known, worked as a locum for a few years recently while maintaining his Raglan practice of 45 years. The additional clinic in Raglan will work in partnership with Te Kohao Health, says general manager Denise Kingi, who points out that while it is marae-based it’s a service for everyone. It was a longheld dream of Dr Tom’s, says Te Kohao Health managing director and chief executive of Toiora Primary Health Organisation (PHO) Tureiti Moxon, to create a similar marae-based clinic in Raglan when he retired. It is a “wonderful opportunity”, she told the Chronicle, to provide a wide range of health services to the people of Raglan. And with the Poihakena Marae committee supporting and embracing the concept it “seems like it’s meant to be”. The idea evolved from a whanau ora, or health and wellbeing, day held at

Poihakena Marae back in June. Out of that, says Tui Kaa of Poihakena Marae, it became clear there was a need – especially for Maori people but also within the wider community – for better access to health care and its allied services in a familiar environment offered by the local marae. While the clinic will start small with, first-up, a GP service it will grow from there to offer a range of specialist services from diabetic and cardiac or stroke care to social workers and psychologists on site, all on a rotating roster. It will not set up to be in competition with current medical care in Raglan, says Tui, but to provide an option for whanau and others who for whatever reason are not accessing the services they need here. Marae committee member Val Rippey adds that with the loss of Dr Tom, who she says had an old-time personal touch from having practised within the community for more than four decades, there is now a void which has prompted the set-up of the marae-based clinic. It will be similar to that of Kirikiriroa Marae in Hamilton East from which Te Kohao Health has operated holistically for more than 15 years. Te Kohao Health has one other existing satellite clinic 100% at Melville.

Dr Tom’s oldest son Sean and widow Sybil are right behind the initiative between Poihakena Marae and Te Kohao Health. “It is something that Dad had wanted to set up for some time before his health prevented him from pursuing it any further,” says Sean.

We can make your dream home a reality with a new home in any spot...

The date for the opening and dedication has been set for February 10 – coinciding with the marae’s second whanau ora day – at which representatives from the Royal NZ college of GPs will present the prestigious service medal to Dr Tom’s family. The new Te Kohao Health satellite clinic will be named after Dr Tom, in honour of all the work he did and all that he achieved for Maori doctors in his lifetime.

Artifice: A Celebration of Fashion and Craft Culture Artifice: A Celebration of Fashion and Craft Culture in the Waikato is an exhibition being held in Hamilton from November 26 – December 3. The exhibition features over 70 artists from all over the Waikato, with a 37-strong contingent from Raglan.

The exhibition aims to promote the strong fashion and craft culture in the greater Waikato community. The organisers/curators, Hilary Elliot and Tiffany Alderman, aim to turn the show into an annual event where artists and designers can work together to create a platform for showcasing their work to the public, and a social network for Waikato crafters. The theme for this years show is ‘functional’, meaning every submission must be usable in every day life. The theme has encouraged a diverse range of entries, including sculpture, carving, men’s and women’s fashion, jewelry,

toys, games, cobbling, knitting, crochet and much more. The show has been made possible by a grant from the Creative Communities Scheme, which is run by the Hamilton City Arts Council. Organisers Hilary and Tiffany are grateful for the support and the opportunity to get involved with the Waikato fashion/craft community. “We hope by holding the show near Christmas that we can really push the ‘buy local’ ethic”. Raglans involvement isn’t just limited to art. Locals Rick and Liz of Taunga Kereru will be serving up their pesto, dukkah and elderflower cordial at the opening night

event. Meanwhile guests will be able to listen to live local music, including Marten Ten Broek, Felix, Karin Bettley, Dougal Greer and Lucy Cioffi, playing alongside other Waikato musicians. You are all invited to the opening night event, to be held on Saturday November 26 from 6pm at 27 Collingwood St, Hamilton. The event is free and family friendly, featuring a fashion show, drinks and nibbles, live music, great art and better company. The gallery is open from 10am thereafter until December 3. So come along, chances are you will know someone involved. Hilary Elliot

‘Pockets’ of Raglan jolted by CV falls Hundreds of Raglan residents got a shock in the mail last week – news from the Waikato District Council that the capital value of their properties had been slashed by up to one fifth. Quotable Value, which undertook the revaluation, says the biggest fall was for a pocket of 95 properties in the Greenslade Road area, where CVs are down by as much as 20 per cent. One Moonlight Bay homeowner told the Chronicle the CV of her harbourside property had plunged from $950,000 to $720,000 – a fall of $230,000 – while another with a waterfront property closer to the Dough Boys said her CV had fallen about 20 per cent to $840,000. Quotable Value regional operations manager Richard Allen said the other pocket of Raglan to sustain substantial losses in capital value was streets in and around the Kaitoke Bay lick of the harbour, where the CVs of 168 ratepayers dropped by up to 15 per cent. One example reported to the Chronicle was of a Tutchen Avenue property’s CV falling from $460,000 to $390,000. Ironically the average fall for Raglan’s 1806 residential properties was only -0.9 per

whose CV was down about $200,000. The 524 rural Raglan properties have taken a slightly lesser hit, with CVs 15.2 per cent less on average that at the last revaluation. The CVs of non-residential Raglan properties, which number 180, have fallen by an average 7.7 per cent. Council chief executive Gavin Ion emphasised that when the district was last revalued in 2008 the property market was at its peak, but then values started to drop quite significantly as the financial crisis swept around the world and the economic fallout caused a recession.

cent – even less than the 6 per cent decrease reported in last week’s Chronicle. And as that is well below the average 13.4 per cent fall in CVs across the Waikato district, it spells no rates relief either for most Raglan homeowners. Mr Allen said CVs for properties in other areas which had good views of the harbour or bar and were close to town, like Cliff and Puriri Streets, had increased by up to 17 per cent. The Chronicle has also learnt of one modest upper Wainui property whose CV has skyrocketed.

Mr Allen said the revaluations were essentially a “snapshot” at July 1 2011 and based on market sales for the previous year. Raglan was always a challenging town to value because of its topography, and the question of whether a property had reasonable views. Figures released through Waikato District Council show Raglan’s 276 lifestyle properties took the biggest hit, with CVs down a whopping 23.1 per cent on average. The Chronicle talked to one Okete Rd lifestyler

He said at the time of the last revaluation there was also significant upward pressure on farmland, especially dairy farms, with Transpower buying farms along the pylon corridor and the Fonterra payout looking really good. However this pressure had dropped right off and rural properties had fallen back significantly. Mr Ion added the council would be holding an open day at Raglan Town Hall next Tuesday, November 29, to discuss proposed changes to the rating system. A.T.

Election this Te Uku schoolgirl’s got ‘rare’ talent Saturday Don’t forget to vote this Saturday 26th November. Where: Town Hall 9am-7pm Going to be away on election Day? Cast your vote at the Council Office at the Library on Bow St between 10am and 4pm Thursday and Friday. 2011 General Election and Referendum on the Voting System : There will be a Referendum at the same time as the 2011 General Election. The Referendum gives New Zealanders the chance to have their say on the voting system we use to elect our parliaments in the future. The Referendum will ask voters two questions. The first asks whether they want to keep MMP or change to another voting system. The second question asks which of four other voting systems they would prefer if New Zealand decided to change from MMP. Voters will be able to choose from MMP or four alternative voting systems – First Past the Post (FPP), Preferential Vote (PV), Supplementary Member (SM), and Single Transferable Vote (STV). If at least half the voters opt to keep MMP, there will be an independent review of MMP in 2012 to recommend changes that should be made to the way it works. The Electoral Commission will conduct the review. It must include a number of matters that have been decided by Parliament including the thresholds parties must meet to be eligible for a share of list seats, whether voters should be able to change the order of candidates on a party list and whether candidates can stand in both an electorate and on the party list. The size of Parliament and Maori representation will not be reviewed, but the Commission may consider any other aspects of the MMP voting system. If more than half the voters opt to change the voting system, Parliament will decide if there will be another Referendum in 2014 to choose between MMP and the alternative voting system that gets the most support in the second question in the 2011 Referendum.

Twelve-year-old Te Uku schoolgirl Amelia Penfold looks set to make it in the music world, if her recent success at recording and performing her own song is anything to go by. Not only did she win first place at her school’s X Factor – or Te Uku’s Got Talent – competition with her original composition ‘Falling’ but she’s also got it on Raglan Radio’s playlist, with a plan now to get a copy to Tractor FM. And her guitar teacher, longtime local musician Dave Maybee, reckons Amelia has a “rare talent” that can take her far. Dave, who for years has worked with singersongwriters at St Peter’s School in Cambridge, likens her talent to that of Raglan songbird Anna Coddington, now successfully touring and putting out albums. “Amelia has the same drive at a young age as Anna had,” he says, “She can naturally combine all the elements of songwriting and performance.” Like Anna, he adds, she has a great voice, the ability to write a catchy lyric and a whole song that makes sense. Dave was impressed with his young protégé when she first asked for help in playing guitar parts to accompany the song she was to enter in the school talent quest.

Amelia recording in Dave Maybee’s studio “Forever,” she says. And “always writing”, she adds, including poetry. “When someone is well versed in writing as a mode of expression – be it poetry or prose – then that is by far the biggest step (towards making music),” says Dave, “because you have a feel, rhythmically, for how songs can go.”

“Dave helped me figure out some chords … and he helped me work through it and tidy it up,” says Amelia.

And the songwriting process for Amelia? “It’s usually about what’s happening around me at the time, and the feelings that go with it,” she says. Then come the melody and the words, she adds.

It was her teacher Lee Clarkson who suggested she record the finished song. Dave agreed. And so it was that during a recent Monday night guitar lesson ‘Falling’ was professionally recorded in Dave’s recording studio, Karioi Sounds.

Dave reckons Amelia has at least one more song he’s heard that’s as “catchy” as ‘Falling’, and while Amelia laments not having finished it yet Dave’s convinced it’ll be ready for her next big performance – Christmas in the Park at Kopua Domain.

So how long has Amelia been interested in music?

Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first MPs in 1853 were Charles John Taylor (a St Helier landowner and director of the Bank of New Zealand) and John Gray in the huge 2-member Southern Division of Auckland. Raglan as an electorate existed for 88 years (1861-70, 1911-78, 198496), at other times being part of Waikato. Again C J Taylor was its first MP. Only 67 MÄ ori men voted in 1868, when Mete Kingi te Rangi Paetahi, who had taken troops to Opotiki to avenge the murder of Volkner and attacked Hauhaus in Taranaki, became the first Western MÄ ori MP. As MP he pressed for an amnesty for rebels. The longest serving MPs representing 4 Raglan were 1896-1911 Henare Kaihau (Reform), 1911-30 Maui Pomare (Independent, then Reform), 1949-69 Iriaka Matiu Ratana (Labour), 1969-96 Koro Wetere (Labour), 1911-27 Richard Francis Bollard, Reform Minister for Internal Affairs, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;a staunch supporter of the agricultural interestsâ&#x20AC;? and 1957-73 Sir Douglas Carter, a National Minister of Agriculture and Postmaster-General. MPs were independent until Sir Alfred Jerome Cadman won Waikato in 1893 and Henry Greenslade regained it for the Liberals in 1905. Henry had a cottage on the road now named after him. Since then the general seat has been National (initially reform), though 1: 1876-9 Waikato MP Sir Frederick Whitaker, KCMG (23 April 1812â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1891) served twice as Premier and 6 times as it alternated with Labour between 1927 and Attorney-General 2: 1879-84 Western Maori MP Wiremu Te Wheoro. 3: 1975 Hon.

“My father retreated to this place seriously injured with shrapnel wounds in his liver,” says Graham. And he says Harry always spoke highly of the Cretans because they looked after the Anzacs – dressing their wounds, washing their clothes and providing them with food, all after dark so as not to attract the attention of the German paratroopers. When Graham and Barbara got to Galatos in their rental car they were directed to the local coffee shop and saw for themselves just how significant the Anzacs, especially the Kiwis, were to the town’s history. “The whole shop was like a museum,” says Graham, with poppies and photos of Kiwis, smiling, under the olive trees. It was then, Graham says, he realised how important the Anzacs had been. He added a few of the 20 poppies he’d brought with him to the shop’s collection. Others he’d left at Gallipoli in Anzac Cove and the rest at Souda Bay and Maleme.

From Galatos the battalion had walked and trucked through the White Mountains to the other side of the island of Crete, says Graham, and was evacuated to Egypt where his father was hospitalised for a time before fighting in the Battle of El Alamein. After leaving Crete the Raglan couple experienced three other of the Greek Islands – the romantic part of the trip, says Barbara – of which Santorini was “heaven”. Other highlights included an early morning hot air balloon trip over Cappadocia in Turkey where they floated above what’s known as the land of the fairy chimneys because of its “amazing” rock formations. They explored the caves of Petra in Jordan where people once lived. And Graham got to float in the Dead Sea in Israel while Barbara was busy taking photographs for the Chronicle. In Egypt “everything was a highlight”, they say, from the Great temple of Abu Simbel, to the hundreds of pyramids, to their own camel-riding experience. “I’m glad I did it,” says Barbara, “but it was a funny sensation.”

Travelling on through Israel the couple found the country’s culture, religion and politics very interesting.

Graham’s found his own personal pilgrimage very emotional, he adds. Being there “it really hits you”, he says.

As Graham says, the camels walk with an “unusual gait” which makes for a somewhat unusual motion. And they grunt and groan. Also, adds Graham of his own learning curve, he never knew until then that the camels in Egypt have one hump while those in Turkey have two.

Graham’s daughter had also done a similar trip some years earlier when Harry was still alive. His father would’ve liked to make the trip himself, says Graham, but his mother wasn’t keen.

The 2 1 Battalion had been deployed to Crete’s Maleme airport because, explains Graham, Hitler deployed paratroopers in huge numbers to take the airfield. From the airport the battalion was told to withdraw 10 kilometres further on to the small village of Galatos.

No sooner had the couple arrived in Souda Bay – a big deep-water harbour where 70odd years ago Graham’s father Harry had first set foot on Cretan soil as sergeant of the 2 1 Battalion – than they were struck by an “absolutely beautiful” Anzac memorial not unlike that of Gallipoli in Turkey which, says Graham, people still flock to two generations on.

He and wife Barbara’s recent overseas trip also took in the Middle East and the Mediterranean, but it is the reception they got as New Zealanders in the Grecian island that left the most indelible impression. “The Crete people just love Kiwis,” says Graham.

CHRONICLE CROSSWORD

Raglan gets NZ’s first electricity network efficiency programme Raglan gets New Zealand’s first electricity network efficiency programme Regional lines company, WEL Networks, is taking the next step in the continuing modernisation of its network to provide customers a more efficient and reliable electricity supply. WEL is to begin installing ‘smart boxes’ for approximately 11,000 consumers in the Raglan, Huntly, Te Kauwhata and Maramarua areas of its electricity distribution region. The first of the new intelligent devices will be installed in November and December in Raglan, with the remainder of smart boxes being installed in the other rural areas during the first half of 2012.

The smart boxes will be installed at no cost to consumers. The smart boxes will allow real time management of power consumption through a new wireless communications system that WEL is currently installing throughout the Waikato region. The smart boxes coupled with the wireless communications network is being coined the ‘WELconnect’ system. Rollout of the WELconnect system will give benefits and savings to both WEL and its customers through more efficient use of power supply. The smart boxes will be able to transmit power consumption information to WEL Networks to make sure the most cost effective supply of electricity is delivered.

Panorama of Raglan calendar in Pecha Kucha 20 slides for 20 seconds each on the Panorama of Raglan calendar will be part of the Pecha Kucha night at 7.30pm on Saturday 26 at the Old School on Stewart St. Among the slides will be this cave from the 2012 calendar. Slides will also show the previous calendars dating back to 2009. The 2012 calendar is on sale at the Bookshop, Trade Aid and 4 Square, still at $15 for the 28 pages and 76 photos illustrating the beauty of Whaingaroa.

To the Editor Open letter to the folks who burgaled ‘The Tricky Listening Company’ at 7 Lily Street last week... Hi, for the past 12 months we have been running a state of the art recording studio in Raglan. Mostly studio time was spent with National and International acts but they were merely a means to an end. Revenue from our commercial clients was used to fund recordings of people without access to world class gear but chock full of talent, focusing on bands with no money, youth and people, like myself, with mental health and addictions issues. We stockpile donated and scavenged gear and make home studios (free of charge) for people who have talent, but lack tools. Money, to ME, isnt really a motivating feature in life. Love, whanau and art are. So to steal equipment (not to mention TAPU jewellery passed down 4 generations of my family) that I would gladly GIVE anyone that needed it is a stupid and moronic crime. If you’ve been sold musical equipment in the past week, I’m happy to buy it back at the same price you paid. This would put me in the unenviable position of receiving stolen goods, but ho well... as the good Dr Gonzo said.. “Buy The Ticket, Take the ride”. As for the burglars, I have better gear in storage if you really NEED music gear, come back... I have something for you. As always, Whaingaroa, MY whenua, we love you and look forward to another year of filling the gaps left by greed and producing world class music right here in our own backyard! Kia Mau te Wehi, Kia Kaha Cornerstone, Zion Hill and Anna. xxx St Lucy Mark Tupuhi, Raglan To the Editor I recently received a phone call from the daughter of the late Robert (Bob) Jenkins. He had left a request that his daughter contact as many folk who he had had contact with when he lived in Raglan, especially those who had contact with the Coastal Shipping and the St. John Ambulance Committee. Bob was very sad to hear about the wharf fire. Hoping this will bring back pleasant memories of Bob. Sincerely, Lorna Lusty, Raglan

Veg of the month

Zucchini

The word ‘Zucchine’ is the plural of the Italian word ‘Zucchina’ (except in Tuscany). Botanically, zucchini are immature fruits, being the swollen ovaries of the zucchini flower. The vigorous, bushy plants require plentiful bees for pollination. Where there are too few pollinators, or in areas of high pesticide use, fruit may abort, drying or rotting at an early stage due to an insufficient number of pollen grains delivered to the female flower. Where you see bees with baggy yellow trousers, you should also see great fruit set! Hooray for the bees, we love you! Two varieties available at seed bank.

Leek

An easy to grow vegetable that can be sown and harvested almost year round in our climate. They are members of the onion family all of whom share a distinctive smell, caused by common sulphur compounds. The edible part of the leek plant is a bundle of leaf sheaths which is sometimes called a stem or stalk. It is one of national emblems of Wales, appearing on some British pound coins, and on dinner tables, of course. The leek was the favourite vegetable of the Roman Emperor Nero who consumed it in soup or in oil, believing it beneficial to the quality of his voice (and apparently never actually fiddled while Rome burned). Available at seed bank.

Speaking of, how about gifting a WEC membership! Includes access to our seed bank and resources, our newsletter to keep up to date with what’s going on, and with Kakariki membership get a free RagBag.
