Dear Editor

It’s time to protect our reserves, especially Mt. Karioi.

In the last couple of years, I have noticed hacking of our

bush (kawa kawa etc.) especially under pungha trees. This

is illegal. Whoever is doing this in our reserves (especially

Upper Wainui, Bryant Home), stop it. This is for our native

birds (kiwi’s, fantails, insects and especially us.) And what

makes our ecosystem, if you keep hacking away, we have

lost.

Please let’s protect our reserves for birds and future

generations to enjoy.

The mountain is all we have left. Raglan stop this rape.

Protect this last piece of beautiful bush on Mt. Karioi and

all reserves in NZ. Let’s replant our bush please.

IJ Regnier, Raglan

Dear Editor

Large numbers of people turned up to attend the Anzac

Remembrance Service which included the time honoured

wreath laying, the Last Post, the Reveille and the welcome

presence of members of the161 Battery.

Sadly, the speeches were completely marred by a

!"#$%&'()*&)&+,-*%&.,-/-(0!1,23)-,)-,&*(,(30,45-(,()!0,(3)-,has occured. Surely this can be remedied by some one in

the community in time for next year. A loud hailer would

have been preferable to the almost total loss of words. The

highlights for me were the mounted horses and the donkey.

They didn’t have speeches.

Raglan commuter intent on driving a message home A quirky little Nissan Cube and a desire to help a family in distress are the driving forces behind a Raglan resident’s plan to raise $5000 by auctioning advertising space on her car.

And TradeMe is the vehicle by

which Renee Boyer­Willisson –

desperate to give back to Hamilton’s

Topperwien family, who supported

her recently through her daughter’s

brush with cancer – is offering the

whole of the Cube as a “travelling

advertisement” for the successful

bidder.

As manager of academic admin

at Waikato University, Renee not

only commutes daily between

Raglan and Hamilton but also

travels frequently to Auckland and

other parts of the North Island so

there’s plenty of potential exposure,

she says.

Her plain grey Cube’s unusual

shape – it’s a match with the Raglan

Club’s courtesy car – means “it

catches people’s eye anyway” so

it’s a golden opportunity for an

advertiser whichever way you look

at it, she reckons.

Renee admits there’s not been a

lot of movement on the Trade Me

site yet but she’s hoping a bit more

publicity will create the interest. “I

hope to raise at least $5000 for the

family.”

The Topperwiens hit the

headlines recently when they were

!"#$%&'("')*'("'+",&",'-.(/'(/#%%0year­old Chace in a bid to save him

from a rare and aggressive form of

leukemia he’s battled now for more

than a year.

His parents found a promising

new drug trial in Britain which

Chace was accepted onto in the

hope it would keep him alive long

enough for a second bone marrow

transplant.

But it’s “hugely expensive”,

explains Renee on Trade Me.

“We are trying to raise the money

for the Topperwiens so they can

concentrate on Chace and the trial

without added stress.”

Renee’s own daughter Ember

– who’d been in the university’s

Campus Creche with Chace –also

suffered late last year from cancer

and had to have her right eye

removed.

“Ironically this was just a couple

of weeks after I had shaved my

head as a fundraiser for Chace,”

1&&2' 3%,%%4' 5+6$7.8*' /%#' (69"6#'was contained within the eye so she

hasn’t had to have chemotherapy or

radiation therapy.

“The Topperwiens were amazing

and gave me lots of support when

Ember was diagnosed and I met up

with them again while we were at

Starship last year.

“I’d really like to be able to do

something else for them.”

by the crèche the two children have

Latent artistic talent has come to light at last for Raglan teacher Margery O’Connell, who returned from Christchurch on Sunday night still heady from the launch of a children’s book she illustrated.“What a blast,” the Waitetuna School deputy principal said of

the experience – though she might equally have been referring to the book, which is entitled ‘The Day Dad Blew up the Cowshed’.

Marge has illustrated in black ink and watercolour her sister Jenny Somervell’s storybook for school­age children which is based on their own ‘70s upbringing on a farm at Takapau in southern Hawke’s Bay.!"#$%#&'()*+&,%"#-$+../$,%$0"#$12%0$,3$43$,30#3-#-$%#2,#%$#30,0&#-$

father really did blow up the old milking shed, blasting the concrete structure to smithereens with gelignite.The only problem was they forgot to tell the

neighbours.Such was the boom, explains the story, the small

farming community thought their world had ended.“It’s quite a historical, cultural­based book,” says

Marge, recalling growing up with a tribe of siblings

Chamber of Commerce

A Collective Approach to Tourism Marketing

As the last few weeks have shown, when the weather’s right, Raglan transforms into a tourist mecca. But, as the earlier “summer” season has shown, we would be unwise to rely solely on the weather to attract visitors and customers to our businesses. To change the traditionally slow periods over the winter months we need to think differently.

What can we do to smooth over these choppy and !"#!$%#&' ()!*%"!!' +),-)#-*$%!. It’s easy to shrug your shoulders and concede that you can’t control the weather and submit to the inevitable downturn. However, the Raglan Chamber and it’s members believe we can make a difference by engaging in some time proven, collective marketing activities. Rather than each business spending extraordinary amounts of money on advertising, we can !""#$"%&$&'("%&)'($("$'*'&+",'$)-,$.','/0$1&"2$-,$'11')03*'$marketing campaign that costs very little to operate.

Our new i-deal promotion is a cooperative initiative which focuses on low cost, often unconventional and creative marketing strategies. This type of marketing relies on time, energy and imagination rather than a big marketing budget. The Chamber is now developing a cohesive marketing strategy that will promote Raglan in engaging ways that expand our traditional visitor markets domestically and internationally.

We are very fortunate to have a brand new i-site located in Raglan and an i-site located in Huntly on the busiest roadway in our region, SH 1.$4%&$ /&(0$)"##')03*'$2-&5'03,6$effort utilises the i-sites and is the launching of the Discover Raglan i-deal campaign.

The goal of the promotion is to leverage the locations and the staff expertise of the 2 Waikato Enterprise Agency backed i-sites to give visitors to the region an incentive to Discover Raglan during the traditionally quieter trading months of June -September.

The incentive for travellers will be a value added Raglan Business i-deal card offering promotions and off season discounts from a wide range of participating Raglan businesses i.e. accommodation, eateries, shops, activities and studios.

Businesses marketing collectively through the i-deal card will create a substantial enticement for a visitor to come to Raglan and to “stay and play” longer. This campaign will be run on a shared low cost basis - only $30 for participating businesses.

A typical i-Deal business promotion can take the form of a straight % discount or an added value feature such as, ‘buy 1 get one free’ etc. You are encouraged to be creative to enhance the spend and stay of these new customers.

For more information on this promotion or CoC membership go to our website at www.raglanchamber.co.nz.

Please contact Anthea at Raglan’s i-site 825-0556 or by Email anthea@raglan.org.nz with your i-deal.

All female triathlon a winning formula

Last Sunday, a small contingent of nine

Raglan women traveled to Auckland to

compete in the Contact TriWomen All

Female Triathlon Series held at Point

Chevalier.

Starting out as a new year’s resolution for

!"#$%&'()"*+,' -.' /0,-'1.2&30' "34'5-' "0"&367' -8,'triathlon involved a 300m swim, 7.6km bike

followed by a 3km run.

“I found the website for the TriWomen series

and I thought it looked nice and not so intimidating

being an all­girls triathlon,” says Jacqui.

Recruiting a group of like­minded women who

were also recent mothers like herself, Jacqui and

the women trained for around 3 months prior to

the event.

Waking up at 5:30 in the morning, six days a

week, the women trained hard and were rewarded

by achieving what they set out to do.

“Just being able to set a goal and achieve it and

being able to achieve it with other women was a

highlight, “ said participant Celeste Duston, “It

proved that we could do it.”

With many of the group having had children

in the past few years, it was a huge motivation for

them to get back into the routine of getting their

bodies really moving and working up a sweat.

/' 9-:;' 4&<5#%)-' -.' =%-' >.%*;,)<' 5*;-' ?8,3' >.%'have kids so it was quite nice to just do it instead

of making excuses. I really enjoyed training and

getting out of bed every morning and getting into a

routine ­ I think the other girls pushed themselves

pretty hard too,” says Jacqui.

Now that the triathlon is done and dusted, some

of the women are looking for another challenge

with some of the girls setting their sights on the

grueling Karioi Classic in July.

A big congratulations go out to Celeste,

Rachel, Charlene, Angela, Jacqui, Tanya, Fiona,

Tracey and Renee for their efforts at the Contact

TriWomen Triathlon. Maki Nishiyama

MAINTENANCE MAY. Gardening in all seasons is full on ­ what you do in one season effects the results you get in future seasons.

the season, weather, size and time of the tide.Gardening is no different.

It is not a rush of blood in the spring to get it all going, it is something you keep working on throughout the whole year. May usually means the trimming of hedges,

bushes and fruit trees (as the leaves are lost) and letting more winter light and warmth into the garden. Use the leaves and cuttings as compost and mulch. Empty your compost bins and dig in to soil ­ plus don’t forget to add a bit of garden lime.Large potted plants need the same, repot with

fresh soil/compost.Trim all your herbs and lavenders to stop them

growing woody and encourage fresh new growth. If you choose to spray, now is the time for double strength winter oil, copper and sulphur sprays on roses and fruit trees ­ but it is a personal choice. We have heaps of praying mantises around now

doing excellent work and you would not want to destroy these helpful insects.Cover crops of oats, lupines and mustard is

advantageous at this time and needs to be dug in by October.Divide up your strawberry plants and replant all

with black plastic or heaps of mulch. The new moon is late every month ­ on the 21st. Seed planting is up to the 7th of each month. Plan for the shortest day, (22nd June) that is garlic and shallot planting day and

the real start of winter weather.Vege gardens: we are

With a hikoi travelling down the North Island to protest against asset sales and other ventures like seabed exploration and drilling it becomes clear that the Government is out of line with many in the electorate. This seems odd since it is not long since we had an election with National getting back in with a substantial majority over any other party. Asset sales were clearly in the policy outline and none of the seabed issues are particularly new. One comment has been that poor voter turnout was

an important factor in the election result, so perhaps we are now suffering the effects of apathy. In addition, John Key has developed such a positive persona that people feel he is a pair of safe political hands in %'+.%.7"%$$*'(4&54$1.(':)&$8;'?('is certainly worth considering whether our democracy is in a safe state if too much emphasis is placed on a leader, based on his public persona. The path from popular leader to tyrant is a well­trodden one.

It might be argued that the hikoi is anti democratic since it is essentially opposing

the policy of the people we elected. A better way to look at it is like a warning to the present government that the electorate is waking up

from a bit of doze, no longer complacent about selling off their land above or below the low water mark.
