Ro: Raglan certainly needs better parking facilities but parking meters are unsightly. Perhaps pay and display would be an option. Businesses in the CBD rely on tourists and day trippers in their cars and motor homes to make enough over the summer months to survive through the winter. It is therefore important to offer plenty of parking at reasonable rates for this to happen. Sign posting the parking areas available off the main street would be helpful and making more parking available any where a good idea. Motor vehicles are here to stay for better or worse!

Jake: Of course we need a warden, we need one all summer and most holidays. Raglan is desperate for a presence downtown every day then, instead of once a week. What I’m against is a warden during the winter months when parking spaces are a dime a dozen. Also, there needs to be more accountability locally in regards to enforcement.

Kelly: Location of extra parking and time limits requires a look at the bigger picture of what the community want for the future of the CBD (ie. I like the idea of longer parking in town to have less turnover of vehicles / more pedestrian friendly, but it doesn’t work for elderly trying to get their medicine at the chemist). High rates reflect the infrastructure to cater to the summer crowds, and so I don’t think residents should have any more coming out of their pocket via parking meters. At the same time, with some sort of visitor pays system, it provides an opportunity to create a community managed revenue stream, with profits directed straight back into the community to fund local initiatives.

Geoff: The parking warden is definitely required in the town over summer to ensure that car parks are rotated evenly. But perhaps over winter this could be waived or seasonal restrictions put in place so that on those slow winter days you can linger a bit longer in town. Also there is no call for a warden to ticket beach goers over summer when all cars parks at the beaches are at capacity and parking is at premium.

Bob: Do we require car parking, and for who? Is it to increase foot traffic for the commercial Business area, or drop off and pick up of goods and services? Or is the problem the status quo, a mix of business operators and locals parking for long periods? Why not a pedestrian area only with vehicles access for pick up and drop off only? This would operate over our busiest season. Eve: I think since Raglan is a small community it should have free parking and for as long as you need. Because even in summer people are coming and going throughout the day so parks do become available.

John: 10 minute parking and electric bikes could largely sort out Raglan CBD parking. If we’re parking more than 10 minutes, we’ve time to walk a minute or two and it’ll leave spaces for quick trips and help bring business to the shops away from the centre. As several people have discovered, electric bikes are easy to park and as quick, or quicker than driving for most in-town trips. Raglan Naturally said, “Encourage the use of bicycles around the town”. That’s never happened and, now electric bikes have sorted out the problem of hills, it’s even more urgent. Weather Map

‘Huge’ changes in bringing upbabies - retiring Plunket nurse

ngrid Rendle admits she was “in two minds” about finally retiring and relinquishing her job as the local Plunket nurse after more than a dozen years working with Raglan mothers and babies.

“But there comes a time to move on,” adds the 68-year-old grandmother of 10, who’s looking ahead now to five months’ holiday in the UK before she and her husband Neil return to town and a more leisured life. “The closer I get to the actual leaving date the more excited I feel,” she told the Chronicle last week of her final day’s work next Thursday. “So I know it’s the right decision.” Even so, Ingrid reckons she’ll watch from the sidelines - in the supermarket aisles for instance - as the children she’s worked with over the years grow up. “It’s very rewarding, working with families,” she says. But there’ve been “huge” changes in the 28 years she’s worked as a Plunket nurse, the last 12 or so dividing her time between Ngaruawahia and Raglan. The first that springs to mind, she says, is the age of the mothers. Way back in the 1970s and 80s - when Ingrid was busy as a mum herself to four sons - women were giving birth in their 20s, whereas now they can be in their late 30s and even early 40s. “Given another generation we’re going to have some very old grandparents,” she adds, clearly a little concerned that the current trend means today’s mothers may not have so strong a family support network. Whether babies should be fed on demand or to a routine has also changed according to the decades, she points out. “It’s all swings and roundabouts.” Then there’s new babies’ sleeping positions which have changed from being on their tummies to on their backs - or from side to side - after studies showed the high incidence of cot deaths dropped drastically when a newborn’s position was reversed. “Gosh, the changes!” Ingrid marvels. Birthing outside of hospitals with midwives in attendance is another big turnaround, she says, as is the trend now for mothers to head back to work soon after having their children. But mothers and babies themselves essentially don’t change, insists Ingrid, and neither does the Plunket support system which is unique to this country. Plunket sees over 90 percent of babies in New Zealand, with nurses still recording their growth and development in individual health books which parents often kept as momentos. Despite all her extra training in lactation and so on, says Ingrid, most

Ingrid Rendle is looking forward to retirement after relinquishing her job as the local Plunket nurse.

people still believe the job of the Plunket nurse is simply to “weigh babies”. That’s a very important part of the job, she concedes, but so too is the expert support and advice that Plunket nurses have to offer mothers and their babies. “It can take a small thing - a simple suggestion perhaps - to make a problem come right.” And nine times out of 10 the mothers are just needing reassurance, Ingrid insists. Helping set up coffee groups as a support network among first-time mothers in Raglan has been another rewarding part of Ingrid’s job. The groups work really well here, she says, because many of the new mums have been too busy commuting to work to get to know others in the community, while others are from overseas with no family support at all.

Raglan’s been a “fabulous” place to work because of the nature of the community, Ingrid says, and she’s loved living nearly 20 years now in Earles Place - overlooking Manu Bay - with “the quietness of the bush behind us and the sea in front of us”. But her sons and their young families are now living in various places - Raglan, Wellington, the Gold Coast of Australia and the UK - and Ingrid feels the need for more freedom. “You can see what I’m going to do with my time,” she says. A community morning tea is to be held in the town hall supper room next Monday to farewell Ingrid and welcome her replacement, Sue Sallis from Waitetuna. Edith Symes

eCoast has put together a group of experts that will look at the breaks at Manu Bay, Auckland’s Piha Beach, ‘The Bar’ at Whangamata, ‘Pines’ at Gisborne’s Wainui Beach, Lyall Bay in Wellington, and Aramoana and Whareakeake (also known as Murdering Bay) near Dunedin. Co-director Ed Atkin says eCoast, University of Waikato scientist Associate Professor Karen Bryan and two independent consultants have received about $1.2 million from the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment’s 2015 science investment programme for the three year study. Entitled Remote Sensing, Classification and Management Guidelines for Surf Breaks of National and Regional Significance, the study will use remote camera imagery, underwater topography, wind and wave conditions and user information to look at how surf breaks work from a physical,

social and cultural perspective. Ed says the end product will be a set of management guidelines for the surf breaks. The group also plans to develop a website where all the data and knowledge they gather can be freely accessed. Very little data is currently available on New Zealand’s surf breaks, but this study shows a recognition of their importance as social and economic resources that need to be protected, Ed says. “Yet there is essentially no baseline quantitative information on which to base any management decisions. This project will change that and serve as a model for others to follow in terms of surf break protection and the protection of recreational resources in general.” The work will also support the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement 2010, which calls for the protection of 17 surf breaks of national significance and directs regional councils to have regard for the significant features of these important surf breaks. “If we can look at the breaks in a scientific and quantitative way, it just makes coastal resource management a whole lot easier,” Ed said. “Surf breaks mean a lot to New Zealand.”

Another benefit will be that data from the study will also provide useful information for future developers and prospectors. When the researchers were deciding which breaks to study, Whale Bay also came up as a potential candidate, but Manu Bay had better access, crowds and vantage points. The two Dunedin breaks are already being monitored as part of another project so they are included for that reason. Lyall Bay is the only break in the study not already protected under the coastal policy statement, but is included because it is one of the most significant learner or “nursery” breaks in New Zealand, Ed stated.

A Raglan Area School team has won the junior snowboarding title for the second year running at the recent North Island Primary School Ski Champs at Whakapapa. The four Year 5 snowboarders that make up the Raglan Amigos achieved good enough individual placings in the giant slalom to give the team a collective win. The team is made up of twins Leeto and Eli Hughes, who were in last year’s winning team, with new members Txema Mazet-Brown and George Loten. “Yes, they did really well competing against the Year 6s,” says the twins’

Four days are set aside for the competition to allow time for the giant slalom, boarder cross and slope style events. But bad weather this year meant only one day of competition could go ahead. “They felt ripped off they couldn’t do the boarder cross – but they were very proud of themselves for winning it again,” Kath says.

Toogood to play the Yotty

A series of Q & A’s with the youth in Raglan

We have a series of great shows/bands coming up in the next 4 weeks, quite possibly the best 4 weeks ever in The Yot Club history. This Saturday brings a double header with Strangely Arousing and Brendon Thomas and The Vibe. Strangely Arousing are the band you hear jamming at Whale Bay sometimes. What I can tell you is these guys are unmissable a tight funky 6 piece who rock like a young Supergroove as the 100 or so people that saw them a month ago at The Yot will agree. Brendon Thomas and the Vibe are the band who were runners up on The X Factor but impressed all with their extreme musicianship and soulful singing. The Friday afterwards the 25th brings one of The Countries top bands ‘A Hori Buzz’ to town. Hori Buzz are fronted by Aaron Tokona who has headed bands Weta and Cairo Knifefight and is one of, if not, the Countries top rock guitarist. Caught these guys on the weekend and you do not want to miss this gig. Searing musicianship great songs and one of the countries most ‘out there’ front men. Cheaper tickets at the Yot. This will sell out I reckon. Saturday the 3rd October brings alternative rock bands The Situations, Lowest Fidelity and the Transistors. As previous visitors to the Yotty, The Situations and the Lowest Fidelity have always bought the goods. It is The Transistors first visit however. Pretty much every person I know that has seen them has told me to see them,

This week the Chronicle caught up with Jay Byrne-Brodie. What school do you go to? Fraser high school Do you have a part time job? Where? I’m a Part time Barista at Raglan Roast for almost 2 years. What do you like to do? so I reckon this Christchurch band are not to be missed. Another huge one on Saturday the 10th October. It is a gig that will be done a little differently. Jon Toogood from Shihad will be playing an acoustic gig on a tour of smaller venues in New Zealand, playing a collection of Shihad songs, adult songs and a range of songs that have influenced him. Doors will open at 7. Jon is on stage at 8. Tickets are limited and on sale at the Yot and online for $40. After Jon we will be having what is in my mind the Countries top ska band Surrey Boudit returning to Raglan. Your ticket to Jon Toogood will allow you to stay for Surrey Boudit. Otherwise you can come along and just see Surrey Boudit from 10. This is a world class gig and if you can do both than just ‘do it’ I reckon. Every other weekend night the Yot Club is open with Djs, free pool, nice food and surf-snow-skate coverage. Andy Meek.

Locals cast in updated Evita The Hamilton Operatic Society’s rendition of Evita, premieres at Clarence Street Theatre this Saturday 19th September (and runs through to 3 October). The show, which features two locals, Niamh Cowley Connolly and Kersten Hickman, stars approximately 40 cast and dancers from Hamilton and small surrounding towns. The lead role, Eva Peron, is played by Rebecca Wright from Auckland – who starred in the New Zealand touring production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’ “Starlight Express” during 2009. It will be the first show performed at Clarence Street Theatre since the Hamilton City Council gifted the theatre to Clarence Street Theatre Trust. It will also be the 175th production staged by the society at this premises; not to mention, the most expensive. The show tells the story of Argentine political leader Eva Peron, the second wife of

GOD IS REAL! HERE’S MY STORY

The Youngwww.traciehphotography.co.nz Ones

I like to do art; painting, photography, make clothes. My main focus is fashion design so that all fits really well together. I also am really into music as well and go for an odd skate and surf too. Who do you look up to? In the fashion industry I would say Rick Owens as he has created his own look and approach to design not only in clothing but also he ranges from home ware to installations as well. What’s the benefit of living in Raglan? It’s a really great place to make connections with people who are interested in things that you are into and also to meet new people. After a while everybody knows each other too which creates a strong sense of community too. What music gets you on the dancefloor? Nirvana, Cult Mountain, GBE, Maxo Kream, Flatbush Zombies, Skepta, Sticky Fingers, Black Flag, Turnstile. I’m into a lot of music so it really depends on my mood. Best thing about social media? Seeing what things people make or are into across the world, the internet is the biggest platform for creative individuals at the moment and it’s a great place to find inspiration for coming projects. Worst thing about social media? The anti-social aspect and dependency that people have on it. Who should run the country? I don’t really know enough about politics to have an informed decision on things like that, need to do more research on that topic, but I’d say the green party seem to have pretty great policies.

What is the biggest issue facing the world right now?

President Juan Peron, and features well-known numbers like Don’t Cry for Me Argentina and High Flying Adored. It was adapted for film in 1996, starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas.

Once again I’m not an economist or anything like that but poverty is a massive issue and is linked to so many problems; homelessness, disease, and many others and I think It’s a very hard cycle to break.

Kia ora aku hoa, i roto i te ingoa o to tatou Kaiwhakaora, o Ihu Karaiti. Ko Georgina Ripia (nee Hamiora) ahau. I was the fifth of 13 children. My parents named me Pakitea – 'the day has dawned'! Mother came from Ngati Haua. I remember her praying, explaining that there is a God and that He cares for us. Her whole lifestyle was such an example to me. My Father was from Tuwharetoa tribe in Taupo. When I was 10, and my youngest sister only 9 months old, our Mother died. With such a large family to care for Dad decided to send seven of us to the Children's Home in Marton. There the staff led us in devotions morning and night. I attended Turakina Maori Girls College, and later trained to teach te reo Maori at Secondary School level. I attended a lot of Christian hui and valued serving my Lord. At one of these hui I met my future husband, Joe Ripia. I was drawn to him because he was prepared to study the Word and obey it. For me this was so natural.

The country you would most like to visit? There are a lot of places and cultures I would like to experience but I think I would love to go to France. Sisteron looks beautiful along with the alps and of course Paris too. Best book you’ve ever read? Trainspotting You have the exact same meal for the next 12 months. What’s your pick? Some type of curry with naan bread, probably a chicken Korma be?

If you were an animal what would you

I’d like to think a wolf, but it would be super cool to fly like an eagle or something. If you were a car, what would you be? Ferrari 250 gt I really crack up when…. Any of the bros are round and cracking jokes. What gives you the creeps? Spiders What two things would be on your desert island? ‘ Boat with copious amounts of petrol and a care package of food for 12 months Favorite website? Youtube In 10 years I see myself… As a menswear designer somewhere interesting, probably New York.

Joe was employed by Ralph Forlong to do cartage work. When Forlongs moved to Raglan we also transferred there. Our family grew. At one point I had 4 of my own, plus three nieces and nephews all under 5 years! Motherhood was a great privilege, but also a responsibility – the children needed to know Jesus. We started Sunday School in a lean-to at the back of the house. When numbers of keen, curious children reached thirty, I prayed for bigger premises. The Forlongs supplied a lean-to on Taipari Ave. Later a group of locals built the Gospel Chapel there. What a joy to have 80 to 100 attending. Jesus Christ has been marvellous to me. I have just celebrated 86 fantastic years, and He has guided all my days. The Word of God has great power. Without that I wouldn't be here. I love to sing the message that Jesus is alive. “If God be for us who can be against us?” Romans 8:31. All praise to His Holy Name! Kia kaha i roto i te ingoa nui me te aroha tino nui o Ihu Karaiti.

Raglan Children’s Theatre: Drama Trix is putting on a production of the children’s classic fairytale, Peter Pan, at the end of the month at the Raglan Town Hall. Twenty-six children, from six to 13 years, have been practicing long and hard to recreate the story, says local drama teacher Ruth Hare. The young actors, who all go to Ruth’s classes, have helped adapt the story and have helped with the other production details like sound, lighting, costumes and props. “I think doing a big show like this gives them a good platform to use all the skills they’ve gained in class,” Ruth says. The children are all excited about the three performances of Peter Pan they will give on September 26 and 27, after putting in hours of work to learn lines and to do rehearsals over the past 12 weeks, she says. Rachel Benn

Tom Hannon as Captain Hook Tickets for Peter Pan are available from Trade Aid: adults $8 and children $5. Shows will be held on Saturday, September 26 at 1pm and 6pm, and at 1pm on Sunday, September 27.

There are also two separate lots of accommodation that are included with the purchase of this property. This property is situated only minutes from the famous Manu and Whale Bay surf breaks.
