Dear Editor,I would like to express my sincere

thanks to all the wonderful people in Raglan and the greater Whaingaroa area who have supported Plastic Free July. Plastic Free July is an international initiative aimed at creating awareness about plastic consumption and pollution. Raglan is currently admired and respected worldwide for its commitment to this initiative, and in many respects is considered a leader in plastic awareness. The community, particularly as a seaside town making a stand, can be very proud; it is estimated that 10 million tonnes of plastic ends up in our oceans each year.

A big thank you to The Herbal Dispensary, The Harbour View Hotel, Trade Aid, Ruapuke Bread, SuperValue, Waikato District Council, Raglan Kindergarten, the Karioi Classic, Raglan Radio, A Rocha New Zealand, Xtreme Waste, Para Kore, the Whaingaroa Environment Centre, all the people taking up the challenge, all the businesses that have accommodated their needs, and everyone who has been made aware of the issues and adjusted their shopping habits (no matter how small the change in your consumer behaviour).

If anyone is interested in taking part in the challenge, it’s not too late. Register at www.plasticfreejuly.org

To the Editor, There needs be no testing of legal

psycho chemical high drugs on animals. If manufacturers cannot demonstrate they are safe or relatively safe, without testing on animals, then they should not be permitted

to have them on sale. Such a requirement may cause such drugs to be safer.

Also any deaths related to such drugs should be legislated as manslaughter/murder and manufacturers/suppliers charged accordingly.

There is NO excuse/ reason why animals should be used in testing these substances.Substances serving only one SXUSRVH"7RPHHWDVHO¿VKSHUVRQDOZLVKneed of some greedy self interested money JUDEEHUVDQGVWXSLGVHO¿VKSHRSOHZDQWLQJto get a buzz.

Raglan Community Board looks set to have a new chairman along with some fresh blood

around the board table after council elections later this year – but in contrast to last time around there should also be, voters willing, a few familiar faces back for another three-year term.

At the last elections in October 2010 Raglan got itself an all-new community board after none of the old line-up stood again, mostly out of frustration at feeling toothless.

But a quick Chronicle survey this week of current board members’ intentions shows that while frustration at the sometimes mysterious workings of the Waikato District Council remains, at least two and perhaps more sitting members are happy WRJRDQRWKHUURXQGRIIHDUOHVV¿JKWLQJIRURaglan’s interests.

With the nomination period for local authority candidates now open, the Chronicle emailed existing community board members asking their intentions – and any reasoning or thinking they were happy to share with readers.

And the big surprise was board chairman Rodger Gallagher’s revelation he didn’t want another three years in the top job.

He said that when he became chair, it was obvious the big social and economic issue for Raglan was getting the wharf working again. The new board moved the wharf up to its top priority and steadfastly worked on its completion “including RXU UHFHQWZRUN RQ JHWWLQJ WKH ¿UH DODUPconnected”.

But Rodger said as the wharf was now working again “I believe it is time for me to hand the baton over to somebody else for the next three years”.

He gave no real hint of whether he’d seek re-election as a board member, but emphasised the board performed a valuable “watchdog” role and that it was important for strong representatives to put themselves forward.

Current deputy chairman Alan Vink, meanwhile, was brief but unequivocal. “Yes, I will be standing again for the Raglan Community Board,” was all he had to say.

Waikato’s “Volunteer of the Year”, Bob MacLeod, revealed he’d already downloaded a nomination paper, and FLWHG UHDVRQV UDQJLQJ IURP XQ¿QLVKHGbusiness to the need for a “watchdog on mismanagement” and the wish “to make a difference in our community”.

But he also took a swipe at council. “They say ‘all local government and local democracy are fundamental to our society, giving the opportunity for everyone’s voice WREHKHDUG¶VRZK\LVLWVRGLI¿FXOWZLWK

this Waikato District Council – or is it the organisation in it that needs to be made accountable for its decisions?” he asked.

By its deadline the Chronicle had not heard back from Linda Cole or Terry Horn.

The only one of the current crop GH¿QLWHO\ QRW VHHNLQJ UHHOHFWLRQ LV%DUU\Ashby, who said he had not been well since a heart operation a couple of years ago. “While I have missed very few meetings I do not think I have been able to devote as much energy and time as is warranted,” he said.

He also hinted at frustrations with the board’s relationship with council, saying “there is a lot that … is conducted by council in spite of anything we may say”.

Barry also called for better representation from the likes of Maori, youth and single-parent families and felt at least half the board should be 40 or younger. But he lavished praise on some of his fellow board members, saying “Rodger has been tops, Bob likewise” and describing Clint Baddeley – who as Raglan ward councillor attends board meetings – as “a tireless worker for Raglan”.

Nominations for council and community

board elections close on Friday August 16.

Voting papers will be sent out to electors

from September 20 and must be mailed

back to council by midday on “election

day”, October 12.

Waikato Regional Council is welcoming new tax breaks that will contribute to protecting water quality.

From this month, riparian plantings by farmers are tax deductible as an operational H[SHQVH LQVWHDG RI EHLQJ FODVVL¿HG DVcapital expenditure.

A change to the Income Tax Act explicitly allows deductions for plantings to “prevent or mitigate discharges into

water courses or water bodies”. The provision is available to trees, shrubs and other plantings.

The Government says the new measure will encourage farmers to plant trees and shrubs in riparian strips along creeks and rivers, thereby increasing natural habitat and reducing the amount of sediment and nutrients entering waterways.

“Waikato Regional Council, its partner iwi and stakeholders have a strong focus on protecting water quality in our region,

so the Government’s new tax rules are a welcome addition to measures supporting this,” said catchment services group manager Scott Fowlds.

“The council itself already offers grants of up to 35 per cent of the cost of fencing off waterways and riparian plantings on farms in priority catchments.”

Big upgrade as hospitaltakes long-term viewRaglan Hospital & Rest

Home is in the throes of

a major upgrade with a

new seven-bed extension wing

now being built out the back

and offering sweeping views of

Whaingaroa harbour.

The view is “incredible”, says hospital manager Rangimarie Carter of its site on the corner of Government and Manukau Roads. ³$QGWKHUH¶VDOPRVWD¿JKWIRUWKHbedrooms with the views!”

She says the new wing is “a hugely important part” of Raglan’s growth, and that the Waikato District Health Board recently LGHQWL¿HG WKHQHHG IRU VHYHQPRUHlong-term care or respite beds here over the next 15 years.

“So we decided to do extensions and upgrade the hospital as people come through the door.”

Rangimarie – who has worked at the hospital and rest home for 10 \HDUV¿UVWDVDUHJLVWHUHGQXUVHDQGmore recently as manager – says WKH GHYHORSPHQWV IXO¿O D YLVLRQshe’s nursed for a while now.

She adds it’s also one shared by Auckland-based investor John 6RQJ ZKR ¿UVW OHDVHG WKHQ WRRNprivate ownership of what was, up until a few years ago, the Raglan Trust Hospital.

The building now boasts a reception area – previously there

was none – and a nurse’s reception RI¿FHVRVWDIIDUHPRUHYLVLEOHDQGaccessible to visitors, explains Rangimarie.

The main lounges have also been extended, with the biggest of them now having a small area for a chapel. And as well as the seven-bed extension wing, which will have four en suites shared between two rooms, there’s to be en suite additions to four of the existing rooms.

New decking and landscaping are also in the plans, which were ¿QDOLVHGODVW\HDU

Work began back in February with refurbishment of old parts of the hospital, says Rangimarie, and landscaping is set to begin at the end of this month. It’s hoped the

EXLOGLQJ ZRUN ZLOO EH ¿QLVKHG E\October 1 and that Raglan Hospital and Rest Home, as it’s now called, will be fully functional again by then.

“We went with local builders West Coast Construction,” adds Rangimarie, “and we’re absolutely over the moon watching it all take shape.”

The charitable trust which ran the facility for 20-odd years is no longer involved with the hospital, and trust chairman Peter Storey says the trust deed is in the process of being changed.

The facility is getting better by the day, he says, and already has “quite a different feel” to the trust hospital of old.

Don’t Feed Your Pet Junk Food!Not all foods are created equal so make sure your pet gets the best diet possible! As vets we cannot emphasise enough the importance of good nutrition for your pet, to ensure good health. Diets need to be tailored to the specifi c needs of your pet to ensure they lead a healthy life.

There are many reasons why you should consider feeding your pet with pet food purchased from your vet.

Advice: Your pet’s dietary needs may change as they grow and age. Your vet/ vet nurse can offer advice on the best nutrition for all life stages of your pet.

Range: Vet-Only pet food offers a wide range of special diets, such as oral care, weight loss and hairball control.

Tailor-made: Large-breed dogs have different nutritional needs than smaller dogs and therefore need different diet formulations. Breed specifi c foods are formulated to help control or prevent some of the typical health problems of each breed. Your vet also has access to prescription diets designed for specifi c health conditions.

Much less mess to clean up: Quality food is highly digestible – therefore less mess and smell when your pet goes to the toilet.

Weight management: Obesity is the most common form of malnutrition in the pets of today. Feeding pets an appropriate quantity of food is very important. High quality food tends to make the animal feel full and satisfi ed with a smaller quantity.

Dental health: Dental problems are the second most common health problem that we see in our patients. Vet-Only pet foods have special features to help keep your pet’s mouth healthy.

Taste: Your pets will love it! Vet-Only diets have a high acceptance rate among pets. But for extra reassurance all our foods are 100% guaranteed. If your pet doesn’t like it we will refund the purchase price.

The link between good nutrition and health is well proven in humans and animals, so you want to feed the best food you can to your pets. We believe feeding a top quality veterinary diet will result in a longer and better quality life for your pet. If you are in doubt about the quality of the diet your pet is receiving, come and see us. We can advise on the best diet for your pet’s health.

Animal Health ColumnFor Raglan People + their Pets

Your rural petsTo your average townie,

calving and lambing seems like

such a benevolent time of year.

Driving past a paddock and

seeing newborns gamboling

around awkwardly - lambs

look like they are wearing

wooly ugg boots, calves

galloping around wearing

little jackets, it never fails to

initiate a series of oooh’s and

“aaaaw cute!”

However, with more and more people living semi-rurally or owning lifestyle blocks it pays to be aware of potential dangers posed to pets so you can keep them safe.

First on the list of nasties is Rumensin (monensin/ ionophore) poisoning. Rumensin is a bloat inhibitor, growth enhancer and a coccidiosis preventative often found in calf meal and some chicken feed, but can also be added to water troughs. It is toxic to anything monogastric (single stomach) but most poisoning cases involve dogs and horses. Animals that ingest Rumensin develop a toxic myopathy- it damages muscle cells, including cardiac muscle which can lead to heart failure, and can also lead to kidney damage/failure. Common symptoms include weakness or stiffness, shakes, hyper salivation, partial to full body paralysis, red/brown urine and lack of appetite. Symptoms develop 6hrs- 2 weeks after ingestion. Treatment is supportive- IV drip and monitoring.

Next on the list of nasties is calf rearing pens. Calves are so cute- the kids want to feed them, and the neighbours kids, and the family dog wants to go with the kids to check it out. But calf pens can harbor some really nasty bugs which can affect animals and humans. Cryptosporidium, coccidiosis and rotavirus are all causes of calf scours, and inadequate hygiene practices can mean runny bums

for the whole family, even the dog and cat! As well as the contagious nature of these illnesses, having people and animals traipsing around the calf shed increases the spread of illness from pen to pen amongst the calves, which creates a whole raft of problems for the calf rearers, and they won’t thank you for it!

Another issue is roaming dogs worrying stock. Young calves and lambs are often an easy target, and dogs mauling stock can cost farmers a lot in vet bills and loss of income. Dairy farmers are especially sensitive to dogs roaming near calves due to the possible spread of neospora, a cause of abortion in cattle. Under the Dog Control Act 1996 section 57, anyone can seize or destroy a dog which is attacking people or animals on their property, and under section 52 and 53, owners have ultimate responsibility for their dogs’ whereabouts and wellbeing. That being said, there is a difference between a dog wandering and a dog worrying. Farmers who see dogs wandering but not disturbing stock should try to catch them rather than getting trigger happy. But ultimately the responsibility lies with the owner to keep dogs contained and under control. Not doing so can result LQ¿QHVRIXS WRRUKDYLQJdogs impounded.

Keep yourselves, your pets and your stock safe this calving and lambing season!

R a g l a n

A r e a

School hall last Saturday to

pay tribute to local surfer

and board shaper Craig

Hughes in a celebration of

his life.

A colourful collection of Hughes surfboards lined the walls as testimony to his reputation – built up over more than four decades – as a master shaper.

Craig, or Hughesy as he was known to surfers, had lost an eight-year battle with cancer the previous weekend.

And the community turned out in force – a line of cars extending well back along Norrie Avenue for the duration of the 2½ hour service – to remember what celebrant and school principal Malcolm Cox described as “a life well lived and shared hugely with others”.

His father Joe spoke of &UDLJ¶V HDUO\ GD\V VXU¿QJ DQGshaping around the beaches of Whakatane and Ohope where they lived. He had a great love RI WKHZDWHUDQGVKDSHGKLV¿UVWsurfboard in the family garage at the age of only 14. But Joe said Craig also had “a little sense of mischief which never left him”.

His son was also rarely without a pen in hand and “drew some fantastic things from an early age”.

Craig’s younger brother Jeremy – a Raglan local of 15 years now – said some of the most memorable parts of his life were those spent with Craig. “He WRRN PH VXU¿QJ VDQGERDUGLQJvisiting mates … there’s nothing cooler than being included with your big brother when you’re only nine. So we surfed as brothers, and it shaped our lives.”

He recalled Sunday mornings at church, then heading over the hill to surf at Ohope. But Craig later developed another passion EHVLGHV DUW DQG VXU¿QJ VDLGJeremy. It was his family – wife Liz and their three now grown-up children. He was a dedicated family man.

6XU¿QJPDWH6WHYH5RDFKLHDavis, from Piha, told too of a long connection with Hughesy. “He made the boards, I broke the boards,” he joked.

“And that tooth that was missing gave him character ZKHQ KH VPLOHG´ 6WHYHinsisted. There was never any vanity or ego attached – “he didn’t care a rat’s arse what he looked like!”

Steve saw it as a true testament of the man himself WKDWVXFKDKXJHSDUWRIDVXU¿QJcommunity should turn out to celebrate the man’s life.

Friend, neighbour and fellow surfer Reuben Brown of Whale Bay told how respected Hughesy was in the community, and spoke RIKLVWZLQSDVVLRQVIRU³VXU¿QJand innovation”.

He described him too as an “integral” part of Point Boardriders. “It’s the end of DQ HUD KHUH LQ 5DJODQ QRZ+XJKHV\¶V JRQH´ 5HXEHQadded.

Longtime Raglan Surf Co friends and staff spoke emotionally of a man who made “the best boards in the country, second to none”. And they read WULEXWHVIURPWKRVHIXUWKHUD¿HOGwho saw him as part of the free-spirited, hippy era.

“His legacy lives on in the boards he shaped,” wrote one.

/RFDO VSRUW ¿VKHUZRPDQSheryl Hart spoke of Craig as “a laidback surfer dude” who staunchly defended Manu Bay as a public area for all to use – both ERDWLHVDQGVXU¿HV±DQGQRWMXVWfor corporate events.

A Whangamata friend of 32 years said “people like Craig are the inspiration behind WKH :KDQJDPDWD VXUIEUHDNprotection society … they care about their ocean and their planet.”

³&UDLJ LVD OHJHQGLQVXU¿QJand his boards are magic,” summed up Rod Rust, a self-described elder statesman of VXU¿QJ IURP WKH 2KRSH %HDFKsurf industry of the ‘80s.

“His boards are always a ZRUNRIDUW´KHDGGHGLQWKH¿QDOeulogy of the day.

Local musician Ashley Knox performed an original song for Craig called ‘Living the Life I Love’, and presented a slide show of his life.

Craig spent 44 of his 58 years as a surfboard shaper, and in parallel also several decades as a Raglan businessman. He is survived by wife and “soulmate” Liz and their children Luke – who has become increasingly involved in running Raglan Surf Co in recent years – Nat and Ariel.

Sadly there were two deaths in our waters over the last two weeks which required attendance by police and other local emergency services. The ¿UVW ZDV DW WKH ZKDUI ZKLFKwas clearly an accidental ¿VKLQJ PLVKDS DQG WKH RWKHUwas at Manu Bay.

The second death at Manu Bay involved the deployment

of local police, Coastguard, local and out-of-town Search and Rescue (both police and civilian, including a dog unit), and the Police Eagle Helicopter from Auckland to search for a missing Hamilton 19-yr-old female. Her friends came out, as did several caring locals who gave up hours of their time searching for her at Manu Bay on Thursday night and into Friday morning. She was located about 400 metres offshore at Manu Bay by Coastguard at around 1.10am on Friday morning

While both incidents resulted in the tragic deaths of the individuals concerned, the families are very grateful that their loved ones were recovered from the sea and

returned to them so promptly. Preliminary Coroner’s reports indicate both individuals died as a result of drowning.

Arrests:A 25 yr old male was

A brief history of Raglan Junior SoccerIt all began in the early

1980’s.No one is totally sure

which year but we’ve been given a photo of a kids’ team at Kopua with 1982 written on the back. We know they started with just two teams and that the club was set up by parents who wanted an alternative to rugby for their kids in Raglan. An initial group of families began meeting at the Walter’s house including the Beets, Baddeley and Brown familes. Eva Rickard gave her blessing IRU WKH ¿HOGV DW 7H .RSXD WRbe used and the parents began designing jerseys and building goals.

Because of the desire to be different to rugby some of the mum’s in the club insisted on a different colour scheme to rugby’s green and black and so the fabulous maroon and yellow jersey’s were born. The parents raised money for the MHUVH\VE\VHOOLQJUDIÀHWLFNHWVoutside the supermarket every Saturday “forever” to raise the money. Perhaps they were the height of fashion back in the 80s but the club is very happy with our green and black vertical stripes these days.

7KH ¿UVW ¿HOG ZDV FUHDWHGwith huge timber goals which the council insisted be removed at the end of the season. New lightweight goals were installed by Clint Baddeley the following season but Alan Dando - Club President in 1983, says he still has the original goals in his garden holding up sweet peas and a passion fruit vine. Perhaps it was one of those heavy ones that smashed Bill Walters’ sawhorse when they were putting up a cross bar that ¿UVW\HDU

ÀRRG EDFN WKHQ ZDV D GHFHQWhigh tide. It very quickly got to the point where the teams from Hamilton issued an ultimatum saying they wouldn’t come out to Raglan anymore until something was done about it.

You can tell times have changed from what happened next: One weekend in spring three of the dads got a truck and a couple of tractors and raided the sand dunes (where the new BMX track is) in order to raise the height of the one existing pitch and then create a second pitch big enough for adults to play on. They took “truckloads and truckloads” of sand and you can still see the change in the height of the sand dunes by the boundary between the FDPS DQG WKH VRFFHU ¿HOGV WRthis day.

The early teams had some success with the 9th grade

Stingrays winning the Waikato competition in 1986. We can FRQ¿UP WKH \HDU EHFDXVH%HQDando still has his winner’s medal. The following year (probably) this group of kids won a 5-a-side (or maybe it was a 7-a-side invitation) competition in Cambridge. “All the top schools were there and the scruffy guys from the country won” recalls his father Alan.

It’s believed that one of WKH ¿UVW WZR WHDPV SURGXFHGRXU ¿UVW DQG SHUKDSV RQO\national representative with Andrea Rogers going on to play for New Zealand as well as in the UK. Her parents still live up Hills Rd today.

The current parents can only remember back a few years so there’s a lot of forgotten memories in the intervening years but the club

is still here and going strong. We’ve got 12 teams this season and a brand new set of jerseys, plus there are three former players who are now parents at the club, including Bradey +DUWVWRQH)UHGG\/LPEHUWDQGTai Ringia.

Thanks to Alan Dando who was the only one of the early parents with surviving memories. Also there, but unsure of what happened was Clint Baddeley, Bernie Brown, John Beet and Butch Walters (well, Bill does remember his saw horse being broken but that’s all). Also possibly there were Mark Snowden and Rob Cowley.

If anyone reading this can add to this history please call Aaron on 825 0234 – especially if you can tell us what year the club started.

In Brief:‘Raglan Naturally’ plan to !nally have its dayThe community-driven but long-

ignored “Raglan Naturally” plan

SXEOLVKHGLQLV¿QDOO\WREHput to good use – as the basis for

a new structure plan for Raglan.

Raglan Community Board

chairman Rodger Gallagher said a

workshop on the issue this week

agreed Waikato District Council staff

would cease gathering views from

the community as enough canvassing

had been done and the new research

³UHDOO\MXVWNHHSVFRQ¿UPLQJZKDWLVLQ‘Raglan Naturally’”.

He said the session – also attended

by invited parties – agreed the work

needed was bigger than just the CBD

looked at by the stalled spatial study.

A structure plan was required to

economically consider all Raglan’s

needs.

Rodger said ‘Raglan Naturally’

would be used as the basis for council

staff to prepare a draft structure plan

for preliminary consultation. They

would take note of a list he’d prepared

of completed ‘Raglan Naturally’

elements, and also of a district plan

correlation list put together by John

Lawson and Linda Silvester.

Teen’s body found off Manu BayPolice say the death of a Hamilton

teenager in the ocean off Raglan

late last week was not suspicious.

Emergency services were called

out about 1am last Friday after the

missing 19-year-old’s motorcycle

was found at Manu Bay. A Raglan

Coastguard crew found her body in the

water in a land and water search which

also involved Land Search and Rescue

volunteers, police and the Auckland-

based Eagle helicopter. The death has

been reported by police to the coroner.

The annual whitebait season is

under a month away - so a timely

reminder about the rules is due, says

the Department of Conservation.

to 30 November in all parts of New

Zealand except the West Coast of the

ranger Chris Annandale.

Illegal equipment or equipment

10 RAGLAN Chronicle

The subject of vaccination is complex and highly controversial. Parents may fully support

immunisation, feel uncertain at times, or refuse vaccinations all together. No matter what side of the argument, parents are equally concerned about the health of their children.

Dr. Michael Loten, GP at Raglan West Coast Health, said local parents lag behind the rest of New Zealand in having their children vaccinated. Only 62 percent of two - year olds in Raglan are fully vaccinated compared to the national average of 87 percent, according to the Ministry of Health Immunisation Report 2013.

Dr. Loten said that rates below 90 percent punch a hole in what is called herd immunity. “If up to 95 percent of people are vaccinated, vaccine preventable diseases cannot take hold. If it slips below 90 percent it can, and it has.”

During the past few years, New Zealand has had an outbreak of whooping cough (also known as pertussis) all over the country.

2013 is shaping up to be a record year in Raglan and the Waikato region for pertussis, with a 69 percent increase in cases compared with this time last year, according to the Waikato District Health Board. The WRWDOQXPEHUIRUWKH¿UVW¿YHPRQWKVRIWKLVyear was 205, up from 63 at the same time last year.

Dr Loten stated that the high rate of vaccine refusal in Raglan makes it easier for whooping cough (and other diseases) to spread.

The World Health Organization and the New Zealand Ministry of Health are in agreement that vaccines are safe and recommend that all children follow the childhood immuisation schedule.

So why are 38 percent of Raglan families choosing not to vaccinate?

It appears there has been an erosion of public trust in science as well as broken FRQ¿GHQFH EHWZHHQ SDWLHQWV DQG PHGLFDOexperts.

Raglan homeopath, and mother of three, Janies Beet said that parents want to eliminate even a remote chance that their child will experience serious side effects from a vaccine. “There is so much overwhelming information out there, “she said. “For people to make a decision out of fear is not a good place. Decisions should be made out of knowledge.”

Dr. Loten said that even though vaccines are our best defense against infectious diseases, no vaccine is 100 percent safe or 100 percent effective. In fact, vaccines are capable of causing adverse effects beyond a sore injections site and a mild fever. However, serious side effects are extremely rare. “The diseases you are protecting your child against are far more dangerous than any possible vaccine side effect,” the local GP said. “Parents underestimate the diseases and overestimate the adverse reactions.”

However, no one wants their child to be one of those very rare statistics in which their child suffers a severe vaccine reaction.

%HHW VDLG VKH ZHQW LQWR WKH ¿HOG RIhomeopathy due to issues like childhood immunization. “It’s an issue I have been researching for 26 – 27 years now,” she said. “The bottom line is, you got to take the time to investigate the issue and weigh the risks of the vaccines against the risks of getting these diseases. “

The local homeopath has done her

fair share of vaccine safety research and emphasizes that no single approach is appropriate for every child. “I always tell my clients to read each product insert for a list of YDFFLQHLQJUHGLHQWVDWWKHGRFWRU¶VRI¿FH«it’s all in there,” Beet said. “If parents decide to vaccinate it’s important that the child is in good health (no colds, fevers etc) at the time of injection.”

Beet recommends parents who choose to vaccinate to give their children vitamin C, starting a couple of weeks before they have the vaccines.

Amanda Watson Green, Raglan resident, decided to vaccinate her two children along an alternative schedule. “There were way too many vaccines at the same time,” Green said. “We spread them out and came back for multiple visits instead. I did not want to overwhelm them.”

But nearly all medical experts believe that a baby’s immune system is well equipped to handle the antigens contained in multiple vaccines. “Vaccines contain only a tiny number (of antigens) in comparison to what babies encounter every day in their normal environment,” Dr Loten said. “Vaccinations are given early because that’s when they are at risk.”

Yasmin Awan, of Raglan, belongs to the growing population of parents that strongly disagree with the medical community.

$ZDQ YDFFLQDWHG KHU ¿UVW FKLOG EXWdecided not to vaccinate her second child due to further research on the subject. What she found convinced her that the risks associated with vaccinations outweigh any SRVVLEOHEHQH¿WVIRUKHUGDXJKWHU³<RXDUHputting your healthy child at risk every time you take them in for shots.”

“Many of the vaccines for children are not even medically necessary. No reasons to vaccinate against chickenpox and measles. Our bodies can handle these diseases,” Awan said.” I don’t trust the information provided E\ WKH SKDUPDFHXWLFDO LQGXVWU\«, DP QRWputting all those chemicals in my children anymore. No way.”

Before a vaccine is approved for use in New Zealand, the manufacturer must demonstrate its safety and effectiveness to

However, Awan worries about tetanus and is considering taking her unvaccinated daughter in for this particular vaccine. “It’s a personal choice. You know what’s best for your own child. All we can do is to make an informed decision.”

Dr. Loten said that vaccination is more than a personal choice. “When you make a decision to not vaccinate your child, you put your entire community at risk.”

Many parents turn to the internet for information which can serve as a valuable tool when used correctly. But it also becomes the space for abundant invalid information since anyone can post anything, DQG VFLHQWL¿F NQRZOHGJH EHFRPHV MXVWanother opinion

If one types “vaccination” into Google, RQHRI WKH¿UVWVHDUFKUHVXOWV WKDWFRPHXSis that of the New Zealand Immuisation Awareness Society (IAS) – an organization that encourages people to make informed decisions about whether or not to vaccinate by providing information about vaccination issues and possible side - effects.

Recently, IAS has come under KHDY\ VFUXWLQ\ E\ WKH VFLHQWL¿F PHGLFDOcommunity over the information it provides and in September 2012 the New Zealand Charities Registration Board revoked IAS as a charitable organisation, citing them for promoting a point of view rather than educating the public.

One relatively common misperception among parents is that the diseases we vaccinate against are rare, and it’s unlikely that our children will come into contact with them. Dr. Loten said that vaccine preventable diseases still persist around the world and with global travel, just a plane ride away. “If we stopped vaccinating these GLVHDVHVZRXOGÀDUHXSDJDLQ´

“With so much misinformation out there, we encourage parents to come in to the clinic for a talk,” Dr. Loten stated. “We will answer questions about vaccine safety and any other concerns. We respect parents no matter what their choices are.”

Charlotte Mårtén

Raglan parents shy away from childhood immunisation The Chronicle

is fortunate to have guest journalist Charlotte Mårtén onboard who will be making various contributions over the coming months. This week she has explored the decision to immunise and how it affects our community. The Chronicle caught up with &KDUORWWHWR¿QGRXWDPRQJRWKHUWKLQJVKRZVKHended up in Raglan.

What is your background in terms of

journalism?

I always knew I would become a journalist. The week after I graduated high school (in Sweden) I booked my trip to California where I started my university studies. I moved on to Hawaii in 2006 and earned my BA degree in journalism from the University of Hawaii in May of 2008. For the past ¿YH \HDUV , KDYH EHHQ ZRUNLQJ DV D MRXUQDOLVWanchor, producer, editor and videographer for two news organizations in the US.

I feel lucky to have been able to cover a number of important stories through the years, including interviewing Nelson Mandela in Nairobi, Kenya in 2005, the Fort Hood mass shooting in 2009, and most recently the arrival of President Barack Obama in Savannah, GA. What I enjoy most about my job as a journalist is that I get to talk with people from all walks of life.

How did you end up living in Raglan?

We wanted a new adventure and we had heard so many good things about New Zealand so we decided to go for it. We ended up in Raglan for the surf.

<RXU¿UVWLPSUHVVLRQRI5DJODQ"After looking at maps, Wavetrak and reading

DERXW 1HZ =HDODQG IRU PRQWKV ZH ¿QDOO\ JRWhere. Expectations were high but Raglan exceeded them. Walking down Bow Street, we got the small town vibe. ”Gangs” of little kids cruising around on scooters, people walking in the middle of the street oblivious to cars, and tanned barefoot individuals wherever we turned. It seemed life in Raglan had hit the slow motion button in a good way. We had lunch at the hotel and we knew right then that we wanted to stay. This place is like no other.

What do you miss about the States?

Miss my family and friends every day. And of course the convenience of drive – thru everything; drive – thru banking, pharmacies, restaurants, cleaners, cars wash, liquor stores and coffee shops.

Raglan needs?

A small movie theatre. Best book you have read lately?

A Game Of Thrones What do you like doing when you are not

working?

Painting, reading, cycling, dancing, traveling but most of all spending time with my friends and my little family that consists of my husband Ben and our two sons. (Benji 5yrs & Axel 1 yr)

Your best traveling experience?

I’ve been a lot of places but my 6 months in Kenya (in 2005) working as a volunteer changed my life in many ways. I registered an NGO called Martens Community Programme during my stay in 2005. Since then, we have successfully started many projects to reduce poverty throughout the region. We are currently building a school for orphans in the western part of Kenya. The goal is to have the school up and running by January 2014. The warm citizens of Kenya taught me a theory that explains if you always give, you will always have.

Future plans?

Going back to school in February (2014) to get a Master in Marketing at the University of Waikato Management School. We don’t know exactly where we will end up. We will probably stay here in Raglan until we are up for a new adventure.

Omega-3 fatty acids - are they safe?A study that found omega-3 fatty acids increase the

risk of prostate cancer in men has alarmed some people.

What’s the real story?

Many questions remain unanswered.

What was the source of omega-3? It seems that

many of the men were not taking omega-3 supplements,

but were getting omega-3 from their diet, which raises

the question: what else was in their diet?

The researchers did not account for any pollutants

that may have been present.

The measure of evaluating the omega-3 intake was

not a good gauge of long term omega-3 consumption.

There’s a lot more to it than

building muscle for strength

and to look great! Here are a

few more reasons why weight

training is so important!

Health: Regular light/moderate

resistance training is a great way

to improve health. It will increase

bone density, which is important to

maintain once over the age of 30. It

can lower your risk of heart disease,

lower blood pressure, cholesterol and

may reduce incidence of physical

injuries as your body will have more

joint stability and overall strength.

make you feel great! A good session

give you a high and improved state of

mind, this is why it can help control

depression and stress, plus improve

training can slow down ageing by

preventing muscle loss that occurs

The Raglan KRMA dojo is proud to report that three of their young

students have achieved their next rank in the KRMA system.

All grading’s are done in Thames so it’s

always a new experience for a lot of the

Raglan students. In some cases some students

have never been further than Hamilton so it’s

quite an eye opener for them.

Message from their Sensei Dean:

Awesome effort team. I’m always proud to see

your hard earned work pay off.

A special mention goes out to our very own

Shahn Ellis who took out the “Senior Female

of the year” award at the Ball and prize giving

this year. This is an international award given

to only the very best of students throughout

the globe. This is also the third international

award that the Raglan KRMA dojo has won

in the four years that we have been operating.

Well-deserved Shahn, you are an inspiration

to all students in the martial arts. My many

thanks to you all.
