STREET talk Bringing back our Street Talk series we have carefully chosen a panel of street talkers representing different areas of the community and every week we ask our panel a question relevant to Raglan either locally, nationally or internationally. Please feel free to email us with any ‘Street Talk’ suggestions! (info@raglanchronicle. co.nz) US singer, Chris Brown has plans to play a show in Auckland in December.
Geoff: I believe that everyone deserves a second chance and we shouldn’t write someone off due to a bad decision. I think if Chris Brown was to address his offending and share why he made the choices he did and what the effects were on his partner and his self and on his extended family and friends and how he has addressed his behaviour outlining the changes he has made. Then I am sure he may become a role model to those who still look up to him. He has the backing of four very powerful women in Maoridom and if they are comfortable with him coming to NZ then I would probably support them.

Kelly: Unless he was going to do a bunch of educational talks in high risk areas about the consequences, no. Him not being let in might highlight the fact that criminal records can stop travel - its not just doing the time, there are far reaching consequences to actions.
Ro: As we have far too much violence in NZ already, why import more. We all need to take responsibility for our actions and accept the consequences of law breaking events. Bad behaviour does not need to be rewarded but perhaps our young people need to be warned of what happens Bob: Chris Brown should when we step over the line of acceptable not be allowed, why grant behaviour. I'm sure there are many excelthe Visa what does he bring lent role models that would appeal to our to NZ? WE the Raglan young and vulnerable right here in NZ community should focus and refusing entry to convicted offenders on our community with the very high would let people know the actions that level of Domestic Violence that is within can be taken against them. Grumpy eh! our community. Forget about a show in Auckland, lets do something in Raglan to address DV. John: My turn not to be Eve: This question just an expert this week, but reminds me of a really it seems those supporting funny meme I saw saying: a visa are hoping he'll be "You can't hate from the a reformed character and other country", "Man, he reform others. I’ve yet to hear that he can't even get it". Anyways back to is and will. It does raise the question of the topic. I think for his fans they'd whether we're putting out mixed, confuslove him to be allowed to perform here ing messages on violence. It's OK to because who doesn't want their favour- have troops in Iraq training people how ite artist coming to their country and to kill other people. It's not OK to use being able to go watch them perform violence at home. In 2014 $1,776m was http://ww spent on 'defence'. $3,730 was spent on live. But yes he does have a history but maybe give him a chance and if he 'law and order'. The only crimes increasabuses it then don't let him come back. ing since 2005 are 'dwelling assaults' and 'sexual assaults'. Everyone deserves a chance. Weather Map

However, due to a major history of Domestic Violence and aggravated assault, NZ immigration is back and forth on whether they will grant him a visa or not. Other countries have refused Brown based on his behaviour, and New Zealand has a long history with Domestic Violence, as it is the biggest form of violence the police have to deal with. Based on his history of domestic violence and aggravated assault, do you think Chris Brown should be allowed to enter into New Zealand?

Prime Minister and Tourism Minister John Key has announced the project is one of five nationwide the Government will invest in to help grow the tourism sector. The taxpayer funding of $47,600 follows a recent Dragons’ Den-style presentation in Wellington where local club members Charlie Young and Dirk De Ruysscher had a high-pressured 10 minutes to present their plan for the MTB park to the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MBIE). They pointed out how the Ocean Trails Mountain Bike Park – to be built in the Wainui Reserve pine forest overlooking Ngarunui beach – would promote yearround adventure activities in Raglan for both the local community and its international visitors, providing a boost to tourism and good economic returns. Charlie told the Chronicle on Monday the club was thrilled to have secured the funding. “We were blown away by the news,” he said.
“It shows what can be achieved collectively when like-minded people pull together on a project,” he added proudly. Club volunteers were up against major business players for their slice of the funds, which matches dollar-for-dollar their own fundraising efforts. The money has come through the Tourism Growth Partnership Fund, which Key describes as a contestable co-investment fund that allows the Government to work in partnership with the tourism industry. Its $1.1 million investment this time around in five projects – of which the Raglan MTB park is one – brings to $10.5 million the total it has now forked out under the partnership. The MBIE says the park project – which it describes as a community enterprise supported by the Raglan MTB Club, Raglan Chamber of Commerce, Waikato District Council and Hamilton-Waikato Regional Tourism – will provide nearly seven kilometres of world-class MTB trails, with options for all skill levels from beginners to advanced riders. It adds that through partnerships with other New Zealand mountain bike parks and inbound tour operators, the park will
make a significant contribution to the growth of Raglan’s international visitor market. “With a primary aim of giving an alternative that appeals to its [Raglan’s] traditional surfing market, the Raglan … MTB park aims to keep visitors in the region for longer, offers opportunities for new business start-ups and wide economic returns,” the MBIE says. It puts the estimated potential economic benefits to New Zealand at “over $1 million per annum by 2025”. Taranaki-King Country MP Barbara Kuriger has also weighed in behind the project, describing the funding announcement by her National Party leader as recognition of Raglan’s tourism value and potential. “Locals know well the appeal of Raglan, as do the thousands of international tourists who come to the surf beach every year, but Raglan is more than just a surf beach,” she said in a media statement. “This investment … will help the Raglan Mountain Bike Club promote all year round adventure activities in Raglan.” Work on the mountain bike park is programmed to start this December.

T
he Raglan Library and Council Office will soon be offering extended hours with its very first late night on Wednesday 14 October. Every Wednesday doors will remain open until 8pm with full library services available, as well as accepting and receipting of payments, taking hall bookings and completing dog registrations. An online survey conducted last year found that 83% of library respondents
favoured an increased level of service for libraries. During this year’s Long Term Plan (LTP) consultation the public was asked to consider two options – an increase of hours or leave opening hours as they are. The majority of the responses were in favour of an extension of library hours. Customer Support Manager, Sue Duignan says, “We are excited to be able to offer our customers more access to our library and some council services outside of regular hours.
“Extending the hours of opening will make it easier for daytime workers, students, business people and clubs to make use of our facilities. It will give our customers the chance to do some council business after hours." Raglan Library and Office is the first of Waikato District Council’s six libraries to offer an extension of hours, with the remaining to be rolled out over the coming months. WDC

Although to passers-by the Cliff Street retreat may appear to be nothing more than a largish if fairly conservative brick home, for many Waikato women over the years it’s become a haven where very personal transformations take place. Seeing that happen has been the most rewarding part of the job, Barbara Brown told the Chronicle last week as she prepared to vacate the manager’s position she’s held for eight years. Most women “blossom” during their 11-day respites arranged by their GP, she says. Barbara’s worked 20 years all up at Bryant Retreat, having started as “first assistant” well before taking on the manager’s role. “It’s been a lovely place to work … a peaceful place to be,” she says. “Although
it can get very noisy too,” she adds, once women get talking and laughing together on their way to wellness. But it’s time for a change, and she’s looking forward now to enjoying with her husband what Raglan has to offer outside of work. The therapeutic nature of the retreat and its picturesque harbourside location are part of what’s drawn new manager Robyn Riddle away from her job as a Hamilton social worker, and she’s looking to moving with her husband Charles to Raglan. “It’s a dream come true,” says the 58 year old who’s longed to live here and was in charge this week after a fortnight’s crossover with Barbara. Robyn admits she’s had her eye on the job for a while. “I’ve walked past the retreat for years, I love the look of the place, I knew about it and I’ve referred people to it (through social work),” she explains. She’s in awe of the rapport between the six staff members – all local women – who she says have an “amazing ability to work together”. She’s also impressed by the facility itself which to her knowledge is the only retreat of its kind to provide such care for free.
Fully funded by the Hamilton-based DV Bryant Trust, the now 51-year-old retreat houses six women at a time specifically to provide rest and relaxation from stressful situations like depression, anxiety, exhaustion, grief, illness and burnout – or, as Robyn explains, from “something that’s worn them down”. The women – aged through from their 20s to their 80s – are nurtured with three freshly prepared meals each day and are free to take time out for themselves or spend it with others staying there. It’s a facility to be used by both local women and those further afield – from as far north as Meremere and as far south as Taupo. Robyn sees it as “one of the two jewels in the Waikato”, the other being Waikato Hospital’s Mothercraft unit for mothers and babies. Robyn’s keen to maintain the retreat’s tranquillity and privacy, but to perhaps also have a couple of bicycles or kayaks on hand to encourage the balance of physical and emotional wellbeing. There’s no structured programme, as such, and no counselling – only the informal kind of group therapy that comes with like-minded women living together awhile. The retreat’s history goes back much further than 51 years: all the way in fact to the early 1930s when women stayed during the winter months at the then Bryant Home for Convalescent Children – now Camp Raglan on Wainui Road overlooking Ngarunui Beach. Later a house for women was bought by the trust next to the Bryant family bach in Cliff Street, and then the purpose-built redbrick retreat was opened in 1964. Recent reviews of the facility and its outcomes in terms of women’s wellbeing have concluded that Bryant Retreat is a valuable resource with long-term health benefits, say Robyn and Barbara. They see the charitable trust continuing indefinitely the work started by philanthropist DV Bryant who aimed postwar – and perhaps ahead of his time – to “nurture the nurturer”. Edith Symes

Have your say: What could your neighbourhood reserve look like? could W hat neighbourhood
your local reserve look like in the future and what purpose should it serve for you, your family and your community? That’s what Waikato District Council is keen to learn before it starts drafting a Neighbourhood Parks Reserve Management Plan which will outline the future use, management and development of the spaces it administers across the district.
Council’s Service Delivery General Manager, Tim Harty explains this particular management plan follows on from the Sports Parks Reserve Management Plan and General Reserve Policies Management Plan adopted by Council earlier this year. “Neighbourhood parks are passive spaces primarily provided for use by local communities for casual recreation, play, relaxation, community activity, links to other areas, or quiet open space. “We’re fortunate to have a number of neighbourhood parks in our community so
Ph: 825 0114 Fax: 825 0104 A/H: free nurse telephone advice 24 hours a day - on 8250114
we need to work with residents on the best way to manage and develop their future use.” Information on the 52 neighbourhood parks we propose to include in the plan is available on Council’s website http:// www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz/Have-yoursay/Neighbourhood-Park-ReservesManagement-Plan.aspx including details on how to provide feedback by Friday 30 October.

Expect this to go off! The three giants of the NZ blues roots and jazz scenes have been gigging heavily and are gagging to bring their show to the Yot Club. Saturday brings the eagerly anticipated Jon Toogood acoustic show to the Yotty. Front man of NZs most renowned hard rock metal band Shihad, Jon’s acoustic show has been winning rave reviews as he plays unplugged a selection of his Shihad hits as well as songs from his collaborative outfit, The Adults, and covers of songs that influenced him. Numbers are limited for this and there is no Hamilton gig so pick up a ticket on line or from Indi. Jon is on at 8pm and finished
by 10pm, so afterwards we will be running another door. only $10 to see one of my favourite bands, the 8-piece ska/dancehall/rocksteady outfit Surrey Boudit. Think full horn section/hammond organ/ groovy bass, drums guitar with multi vocalists these guys are the real deal as a load of you have already found out. Upcoming gigs include Danish trio UDC (Fri 16) an acoustic folk roots reggae and Exit Irie, a Taranaki based Dub/Reggae outfit (Sat 17). On Labour Weekend we have two huge nights. Saturday has the Soundsplash announcement party with headlining acts Cornerstone Roots and L.A.B. Sunday brings the first Sunday Session of the year with killer acts outside and inside from 10pm.

7C's Bible Club
The late Lois Strawbridge and Kidz Club perform at Raglan Trust Hospital.
T
he Union Church takes pleasure in announcing the recommencement of Kidz Club – now to be known as the 7C's Bible Club - for school age children to be held on Thursday afternoons in the fourth term. Some readers will recall the successful
club, which ran for many years, under the leadership of the late Jean Nicholsen, the late Lois Strawbridge and more recently by Vicky Beeby. Children are invited to come straight from school to the Raglan Union Church Hall at the bottom of Stewart Street, for afternoon tea and a range of activities from which they can choose, until 3.30pm. Then a varied and stimulating programme will run until 4.45pm. Enrolments will be taken at our first club night on October 15th. This is a free event, and all are welcome, including parents. For enquiries phone Ken or Julia Brown, 825 8028. J. Brown

Non-violent parenting course e are a safe community and W our children are well. Thank goodness mostly that is true.
At the same time we all notice things happening that are not in the best interests of children’s well-being. Parenting is NOT an easy job. How we parent is based largely on how we ourselves were parented, and often we are not shown other ways. Over recent years many of you may perhaps have noticed a familiar winter cycle of nonviolent parenting events and trainings held in July and August. These trainings are part of the development of a practice of nonviolent parenting (NVP) here in Whaingaroa/Raglan - giving
parents and those caring for tamariki tools to nurture and support our children as they grow. NVP is built on the conviction that any child raising practices that hurt a child’s body, heart, mind or spirit, are harmful and detrimental to the healthy development of the child. The most current research has proven that a nonviolent, empathetic, unconditional approach is vital not only to a child’s emotional, physical and mental development, it is also essential to breaking generational cycles of abuse and neglect. Term four sees the launch of another 10 week NVP delivery, beginning 13th October. The class gives adults a
framework to think about their actions as parents, and discover what children truly need to thrive as healthy human beings. The course will include discussion groups, theory, role-playing, specific problem solving. Topics cover ‘Connected Communication’, ‘Understanding Anger’, ‘Setting Limits’ and many more. For many, it is a life changing experience. For more information, see the Te Mauri Tau Facebook page or contact us on 825 7111 or email pouaroha@gmail. com for more details.
