Once upon a time in Aotearoa Raglan Area School’s hall was transformed last week, with staging, professional lighting and racks of elaborate costumes signalling show time for the school’s latest production, ‘Once Upon a Time In Aotearoa’.

Featuring over one hundred and fifty of the school’s youngest stars from the Year 0 to 6 syndicate, audiences were treated to a 90minute tour-de-force of New Zealand culture, combining drama, music, dance and visual art. Set in the present, the past and the future, ‘Once Upon A Time In Aotearoa’ folllows the adventures of two sisters who discover a time capsule at their local marae. Gum boot dancers, world record sheep shearing demonstrations, talking Kiwiana icons, kapa haka, poi, and lip syncing were just some of the diverse performances on show, with the children’s enthusiasm and style doing their families proud. Special mention must be made of Taiwiri Cribb-Monsall, Lexi Holmes and Lennox Reynolds for doing such a fine job as principal cast, as well as Molly Beattie and Marama Ormsby for their commitment to their roles as understudies. Kristin Ngapo and Waiehu Millward kept the crowd amused with their performances as Tutu and Hoha, while Mason Tukiri’s deft skills in portraying the villain literally threatened to steal the show. Bhumika Patel’s grounding influence on the stage, and her effortless grace in bringing to life the character of the kuia was a joy to witness. “It was important that the children had input into the creative writing process,” explains local writer and teacher Andre Ngapo. “Ownership and shared responsibility is a key to this kind of project, and all ideas were listened to. Many of the children’s ideas directly shaped the script and they were very proud of the final result.” The challenge of seven classes working together over a ninety-minute timeframe was all part of the process, with ‘whakawhanaungatanga’

or relating to others being one of the key areas that staff intended their students to delve deeply into. “It was important to us that this learning experience be provided through the performing arts,” says Ngapo. The Year 0 to 6 syndicate would like to thank the following: Our Principal Sponsors Bow Street Motors, rochelle@thetravelbrokers. co.nz, Wainui Road Foodmarket, Ray White Raglan, The Kirkwood Family, Raglan Four Square, Raglan Community Arts Council, Creative Communities.

Skatepark ready by Christmas – then museum next year While the $164,000 stage two of the skatepark is well underway and set to be completed by the end of November, in time for the summer holidays, the Waikato District Council says the ambitious $1.3 million museum project faces some hold-ups over consents because the final design is different to the original proposal. However once the consents are issued the building project is still programmed to be completed by next May, says water & facilities general manager Richard Bax. That was welcome news this week for museum society president Pat Day, who’s seen the project delayed by both funding and redesign issues. Community funders such as Trust Waikato and Wel Energy Trust have approved grants to both the museum project and skatepark extensions which will see the total area of the original 2002 design increased by 240m2. Pro surfer and skater Miles Ratima, who’s pushed for development of the skatepark with the backing of the council, said last week he was happy to see it all come through and finally being built.

He reckoned the skatepark had to be local kids’ most used facility alongside the Kopua footbridge, which gets a thrashing each summer as a jump-off point into the harbour. Bax points out that the skatepark’s been designed in discussion with the locals and has features that incorporate both street skating and the surfing culture of Raglan. Jason Parkes of Premium Skate Design brought it all together in recognition of Raglan’s international reputation as a boardriders’ mecca. The extension includes a “snake run” and “taco” which are expected to attract more pro skaters to Raglan while at the same time providing new challenges to improve local children’s skills. The extension also provides for seating to give parents and non-skaters more comfortable viewing of the action. Miles is also keen to see landscaping included, linking it in with the familyfriendly Kopua Domain. Meantime, while the museum project’s a little behind the play, there’s now tangible evidence that it is finally on its way. The existing Raglan & District Museum building off the bottom of Stewart Street has been cleared of its contents to make way for the demolition of what was originally the town’s fire station.

Also set to go to make way for the museum are the public toilets bordering Joyce Petchell Park. Demolition date will begin five days after the consents are through, says Bax, and building will begin immediately with a 32week construction period. The successful contractor for the work was to be named this week, but whether or not it’s a Raglan company there’ll be a local overseeing the work. Raglan’s Andy White will be on-site manager, overseeing building of a museum incorporating a reading and education room looking out to sea, an open auditorium area on entry, a mezzanine floor, a relocated information centre and internal rooms for the exhibits themselves. The museum was originally to be twostorey but was subsequently scaled back, and plans for a jetty also had to be jettisoned along the way. weathered and long-standing lifeguard • Aaaa tower on Ngarunui Beach will be replaced in the not-too-distant future, says Raglan Surf Life Saving Club president Anne Snowden, now that its building consent has been approved. A first-aid treatment room will be incorporated in the concrete-block base of the new tower.

Some 400 Raglan voters of a possible 2700 had sent back their completed voting papers by Monday, and Mr King said while that was quite a “healthy” count the likes of Ngaruawahia voters were ahead of Raglan in terms of early returns. District-wide, he said, over 10 percent of votes were back in the first week of the voting period. That might be a bit higher than last time round in 2007, he said, but 4000 votes returned from 40,000 eligible electors meant many more need to be encouraged to have their say. Around 40 percent of eligible voters in the district cast their votes in 2007, he added. That was still down slightly on the nationwide average return of 44 per cent. “It’s peoples’ chance to say who they want to represent them on council and on the community board,” Mr King stressed to the Chronicle this week. In Raglan voters’ case, there are actually four elections in which they are required to tick their preferences this time around: the three-way

tussle for the mayoralty, the four-way fight for the Raglan ward seat, the Raglan Community Board elections in which one of the seven candidates must drop off, and the four-way tussle for the one central Waikato seat on Environment Waikato. Just to complicate things further, there are also the voting papers for the election of seven members to the Waikato District Health Board. As this is a single transferable voting rather than the first past the post system used for the council elections, voters must number their preferred candidates in order from one – and right up to 32, the total number of candidates standing, if they want. Meanwhile Mr King said quite a large number of papers had come back after having been delivered to outdated addresses, and advised people eligible to vote but who hadn’t received voting papers to contact their area office for a special vote. Whatever, he urged all voters to fill in their papers and get them posted before next Wednesday so they reach their destination by Friday. Failing that, he added, the Raglan council office and library would be open to receive voting papers and special votes until noon on Saturday week, which is the official “election day”. Edith Symes

Film Festival Programme! Raglan’s karate kids step up Call Sioux 825 6808 or 0800 084314 Email:bizzybuddyz@xtra.co.nz www.bizzybuddyz.co.nz

Hot off the press, in black and white – you need a copy of this detailed programme for the Raglan Film Festival 2010, screening at the Old School Arts Centre, starting this week. There really does seem to be something for everyone again this year, whether you are a film buff or not.

Adrenaline freaks see – ‘Last Paradise’ Clive Neeson’s collection of 45 years filming adventure sports out in the remote wilderness of NZ, a true eco adventure; then there is ‘The Asgard Project’ following climbers on the first free ascent of Mt Asgard’s daunting north face, regarded as one of the world’s most difficult big walls. Like a powerful crime drama – don’t miss ‘Animal Kingdom’ deep in the Melbourne underworld, were ordinary lives are caught in the midst of the tense struggle between a criminal family and the police. Offering wide appeal – ‘Cool Summer Tour with Cornerstone Roots’ a documentary that follows our local band on tour from behind the scenes and onto the stage, directed by Maryann Tuao. On a lighter note, there is the crime comedy ‘Predicament’ set in small town NZ during the 1930’s.

Especially for the children this year there are two movies ‘The Wonderful world of 2D Classical Animation’ and ‘The Magical 3D reality in Animation’ OK, movie buffs and Art devotees, your must see is ‘Exit through the Gift Shop’ an 87 minute movie about the true story of how the world’s greatest Street Art movie was never made. Now I bet that has you thinking, so make sure to be at the screening of this movie with exclusive footage of the world’s most infamous graffiti artists. All up the 2010 programme includes wonderful full length films for everyone, plus a great selection of shorts, those amazing little movies that last a just few minutes, with a long lasting impression. Congratulations to Jacqueline Anderson at the Old School Arts Centre for doing such a wonderful job in sourcing and selecting the films, spending many hours on the web looking at synopses and reviews. Hire costs of movies vary widely, so the aim has been to keep ticket prices affordable without sacrificing quality and your interest. Printed copies of the programme are available at the Old School, the Information Centre and selected businesses and shops or can be downloaded from the website: www.raglanartscentre.co.nz

Three local karate enthusiasts have more sporting successes under their belts after they came away with second and third placings recently from the All NZ Open Kyokushin-Kai Karate Nationals held at Hamilton Boys High – a good result which saw all the Raglan students “step up”, says teacher and black belt Pablo Rickard. Tournament first-timer Eddie Young, 14, who’s been a keen karate kid since the age of six and came second in the under-16s division, is especially pleased with his progress and reckons he’ll “hopefully” get the title next year. The discipline, he says, helps keep him fit for a range of other sports from soccer and skateboarding to surf lifesaving and Raglan’s new multi-sport events. Meanwhile for Ra Higgins,18, who was placed third in the open men’s lightweight division, it was another success to add to the title he took out at the national kyokushin karate championships in Wanganui earlier this year. Craig Murray too was fighting all grades and placed third in the open men’s middleweight division. Like Ra, he had also done well at the national champs in Wanganui where he was up against top fighters in the open division. Locals Joanne Green and Wayne Newman had less luck in the latest tournament, which attracted a large mix of competitors from New Zealand and Australia. An injury forced Jo out of the women’s open lightweight, while Wayne was fighting fit in the men’s open heavyweights until a foul saw him miss out on a placing. Edith Symes

Raglan Kindergarten Auction and Concert On Friday 10th September there was an amazing event at the town hall – over 100 people congregated to support the inaugural ‘Raglan Kindergarten Silent Auction and Children’s Concert.’

though the auction was ‘silent’, it did get quite competitive and noisy in some parts of the hall, as bidders watched the bids on their desired item rise. The Very Hungry Caterpillar story was performed by the tamariki of Raglan Kindergarten, followed by a couple of songs performed for the parents and whānau who came to watch. There were professional services, clothes, beauty products, housewares, vouchers for accommodation

The support from the Raglan Community and beyond was overwhelming – we also had many of our parents and whānau working hard at the hall all day and on the night as well. We made a profit of over $3000 – a great big step towards our goal of building a tree house for our tamariki. Many, many thanks to everyone who supported this event. Kia Ora Koutou Katoa!

Trade under threat As you enter the main street of Frankton you can’t miss the Frankton Butchery at the top end of Commerce St.

It’s a traditional Butcher shop with a tasty selection of meats displayed in the window. Jim Ashton, the owner of Frankton Butchery is the friendly face behind the counter serving customers their daily requirements. Jim has owned the business for 8 years now and enjoys working in Frankton and being part of the Frankton community. Previously Jim was in the freezing work industry in Tirau and then completed a butcher apprentership in Garden Place, Hamilton. Jim reckons his business is the only privately owned traditional butcher shop left in Hamilton as in the last 8 years three others have closed down. Aparently back in the day there were five butchers in Frankton alone. “Its a trade under threat” says Jim “and people have to use it or lose it. But it’s a two way thing. We as butchers need to provide excellent service that differs from the supermarket experience if people are going to change their buying habits”. What Jim likes about his role as a butcher is the customer contact, having chats to his regulars and preparing meat for their individual tastes.

“The customer gets exactly what they want, the right amount, the right cut and the right price”. He also likes spending time out the back perfecting the small goods and in the last four years has won four silver awards in the Great NZ Sausage Competition including a kiddies choice award. Frankton Butchery also stocks free range pork which is SPCA aproved. Jim has experienced staff on board including two apprentices. He’s training the next generation of butchers because he reckons they’re here to stay. Jims passionate about the role of a butcher in a community and the fact that nothing is prepackaged.

Activity at the House seems to be increasing on an almost daily basis!

Tuesdays in particular are busy with Work and Income here and our free Soup-A Tuesdays seem to be popular if the amount of soup we go through is anything to judge by! The soup mix and cups/holders were generously sponsored by the Tindall Foundation and Raglan’s very own Fresh and Sweet Produce give us lovely fresh veges each week. All welcome. Thank you Tindall Foundation and Christine and Belmont Lallu. October brings some great workshop opportunities: ToughLove sessions start on 11th October (evenings) and these will be facilitated by a team from Hamilton.

Hand Me Downs to compete in York St Band Experiments 2010

Raglan band Hand me downs have made it through to the heats of the York St Band Experiments competition in Hamilton and are urging local music supporters to come and cheer for them at the Flow Bar, 266 Victoria Street, Hamilton on Thursday 9th October for an 8pm start. They will be competing against four other Waikato bands for the coveted prize of a day’s recording at York St Studios. The Band Experiments competition has been running since 1999 and has a great reputation for kick starting the careers of NZ artists such as Cornerstone Roots, Katchafire and The Datsuns. Last year saw Knights of the Dub Table take first place and they have since gone from strength-tostrength. Hamilton Live Music Trust took over the staging of the event last year and their aims are to promote and develop Hamilton’s music community. The Band Experiments has attracted media attention both locally and nationally thanks to York St Studios, and as a result they received over forty entries from Waikato bands for this year’s competition. There are serious prizes to be enjoyed by the winner including a day’s recording in York St’s prestigious studio and a music video worth $5000. It’s by no surprise that Hand me downs were selected for the heats. Since they formed in January of this year, they have enjoyed a rollercoaster ride of success. July saw their debut performance at a packed out Vinnie’s which was well received and they recently acquired a new band member from Raglan, Simon Buxton (drums). The line up now includes Lucy Cioffi (lyrics/vocals/guitar) Dougal Greer (guitar/banjo) Dion Chappell (guitar) Reg Valente (double bass) Simon Buxton (drums) and

Hamilton guest musician Mary Axon (violin). Lucy is currently managing the band and has been busy promoting their three track demo which was recorded by local sound engineers Tom McCormick and Nic Tribe. She is also managing their website which has received over 2200 hits since being active in March of this year and has been applying to various funding bodies. Hand me downs now have the backing of Creative Communities NZ and were awarded funding from Waikato District Council and Raglan Old School Arts Centre to help finance the recording of a five track EP. Their demo track Karioi was shortlisted in the top 50 for New Recording Artist funding from NZ on Air which received over 204 applications. If you would like to come and support Hand me downs at the Flow Bar contact Lucy on 0226349307 or email her at pleasehandmedown@yahoo.co.nz. She is hoping to arrange a minibus to travel from Raglan to Hamilton and if this is something you can help with please contact her. You can listen to Karioi on Tractor FM 88.2 Raglan which features on their playlist and online at www.myspace.com/ pleasehandmedown
