Raglan Volunteer Coastguard “wouldn’t survive” without support from the community, says president Wally Hawken, who was delighted last week to receive a cheque for more than $4000 from an annual charity auction held early this month by the main local campground.
“We want to express our sincere appreciation to Kopua Holiday Park
management for its effort,” he told the Chronicle. “Also for the support from all
over the Raglan community – we literally wouldn’t survive without it.”
The extra funds will go into the organisation’s operational account to keep
resources going, added Wally, mindful the 11-metre twin hull Coastguard boat
and jetski together use well over $1000 in fuel each month.
There are also other ongoing costs, he adds, which are financed too through
donations and local fundraising.
Holiday park assistant manager Jo Hamblyn says the auction is a “feel-good”
event which this year saw a massive crowd bid generously for everything from
campground t-shirts at $75 to nine unframed prints donated by Raglan West artist
Jane Galloway, which fetched a “whopping” $1000 in total.
A Piwiwiwi campervan four-day rental went for $400 and an outsized twin
meat pack from the local butchery was sold for more than $200.
Sunset cruises and surf lessons were also up for grabs.
Not one of the town’s business-owners from the previous year’s list hesitated
when asked to contribute goods or services to the charity auction, Jo says. “And
there were lots of new ones (contributors).”
Raglan Real Estate’s Julie and Dave Hanna played auctioneers at the
campground for the evening, and considering bidders came mostly from the
camp’s 1000 holidaymakers on site it was an “awesome” effort, said Jo.

Poihakena Marae is set to host its second whanau ora or family day early next month along with the official opening of a holistic health centre dedicated to the memory of longtime Raglan GP Tom Ellison.
The new Te Kohao Health Whaanau Ora Centre will initially open on site with a GP and nurse service two days per week, says local spokesperson Tui Kaa, offering a free service to those under 19 or 60 and over.
It will also offer a range of free weekly specialist services from diabetic and cardiac or stroke rehabilitation to social workers, parenting and breast feeding support and home-based
support services, all on a rotating roster.The idea is to “grow” a client base until
the health centre opens fulltime, says Tui. And it’s a marae-based service for the whole community, not just for Maori, she adds.
Meantime at the February 10 whanau ora day – a follow-up to one last June – organisers hope to attract a wide cross-section of the Raglan community for free health checks and information from health, housing and education providers, both local and Hamilton-based.
Kids too will be catered for on the day with face painting and a bouncy castle among the activities. Edith Symes
Local surfer Billy Stairmand battled to his second national surfing title after a near flawless performance in the final of the Open Men’s Division at the 2012 Hyundai National Surfing Championships held at Piha Beach this past weekend.
The young 22 year old is ranked 79th in the world and is New Zealand’s third highest ranked surfer on the international circuit. Billy starts 2012 on another high after beating 11-time world champion Kelly Slater in 2011.
Billy notched up several excellent scores in quick succession in the final, his two highest, 8.90 and 8.20 point rides, using his impeccable backhand surfing on the lefthanders of Piha Bar.
“It’s a good to start to the year winning a national title, I’m going overseas soon so it’s good for my confidence and everything like that but yeah, at the moment, a national title, I can’t believe it” said Billy.
“Every heat is hard, I just wanted to catch the best waves out there, I saw some on the bar and wanted to get them and it paid off.”
It was a big decision for Billy to surf up the beach. He and fellow finalist Chris Malone (Gis) were the first surfers of the day to do so. However, with the outgoing tide and building swell, the strategy paid off handsomely.
“I was going wave for wave with Chris and I knew Timmy was down the beach but I was feeling confident after the first wave and yeah it all just happened.”
35 year old Chris Malone (Gis) finished runner up in the final scoring 9.5 out of 20 points requiring a combination of waves to challenge
Billy for the win.Despite the distance between himself and
Billy he was still stoked to make the final. “It shows me that I have still got it and still can do it” said a more than happy Chris.
Mount Maunganui surfer Tim O’Connor who is currently based in Raglan placed third in the final. He surfed the whole 25 minutes on his own at the north end of the beach where every other surfer had competed during the day but the waves simply did not cooperate.
Over in other divisions, Poulter brothers, Ben and Sam, took the top two spots in the U18 Longboard final. It was older brother Ben who claimed the title, the two brothers defeating local Piha surfers Tane Wallis and Tunui Wano during the final heats.
Older sister Alexis Poulter also did well in the Women’s longboard division placing second ahead of past favourites Mischa Davis (3rd) and Belinda Goodwin (4th).
All-round waterman Daniel Kereopa just missed out on a Stand-Up Paddleboard national title, placing second behind Shayne Baxter of Christchurch.
Raglan also had strong representation in the older divisions with Geoff Hutchison taking out the Grand Masters title (Over 45s), Jeremy Hughes coming second in the Legends (Over 50s) and Deane Hishon coming third in the Veterans (Over 40s).
The next event on the Hyundai Surf Tour 2012 will be held at Sandy Bay from the 3rd to 6th of February. Surfing NZ

Fun and fundraising will go hand in hand at the Old
School Arts Centre when the ever-growing group of
people who use the Clay Shed pottery invites the
community to ‘have a look’ and ‘have a go’.
The aim is to raise funds to ugrade the large kiln which is available to all who work with clay but don’t have their own fully equipped studios. The biggest user group are the many children who flock to the after-school clay classes at the Old School, and who have produced some amazing work over the past two years. Now a growing number of adults are coming in to use the kiln and other equipment available in the Clay Shed for a very modest fee
While the present kiln is still functional, its life is limited, and working with clay is one activity that literally turns to dust if the clay is not fired, sometimes several times before a piece is completed and decorated. We need to raise several thousand dollars to purchase a kiln that will meet present and future demand.
The fiesta, on the weekend of 18-19 February will include a gallery exhibition of work by local potters, some demonstrations, and an opportunity to “have a go”, decorating hand-made tiles for an installation in the grounds of the Old School. Exhibition pieces will all be for sale, there will be a market stall of smaller items, raffles, and a café-style refreshment bar. The exhibition will continue in the gallery during the week after the fiesta itself, and the tile making for the installation is set to go on for several months, and will include schools and other groups.
So mark the Clay Fiesta on your calendars and look out for more details over the next 3 weeks. If you would like to help in some way, contact Susanne 825 8800, Jodi 825 7319, Judith 825 0550 or the Old School 825 0023.Judith Collins

4 RAGLAN Chronicle
Raglan artists putting the finishing touches to
preparations for the Open Studio Weekend
starting Saturday have their fingers crossed
for an “avalanche” of visitors and buyers
this time, thanks to better advertising and
signage than for last summer’s successful
inaugural event.
Art trail administrator Jacqueline Anderson says a significant sum’s been poured into advertising nationwide, with 7000 brochures also directing art buffs to 38 studios from Waitetuna to Whale Bay, and it’s now over to the artists themselves to “take ownership” and help turn the town into an art destination.
It would be a major coup, she told the Chronicle at a pre-launch art trail get-together at the Old School, to see the Open Studio Weekend grow to become an iconic annual event like Waiheke Island’s wine festival.
“It’s about bringing all the artists together for the benefit of Raglan,” she said.
Held over Auckland Anniversary Weekend both this year and last, the three-day event also just happens to coincide with an annual fishing contest at Manu Bay organised by Raglan Sport Fishing Club.
“Perhaps the guys can go fishing while the girls look at art,” suggested Jacqueline.
If there was any spinoff it wouldn’t be the first time the arts trail has gained leverage off a sporting event, though last time it was a massive international one – September’s Rugby World Cup, when a lower budget open studio weekend was organised to lure here some of the hordes of cup fans in Hamilton for the All Blacks vs Japan match.
Meantime several local artists visited nine fellow artists’ studios in a three-hour recce last Saturday to familiarise themselves with the variety of art and craft on offer, which includes everything from pottery, painting and photography to textiles, bone carving and jewellery-making.
While the aim of the exercise was to ensure artists could talk knowledgeably to visitors about
the sort of art on show at other studios, they also found it a privilege to visit others’ workspaces.
Whale Bay painter Miranda Jane Caird, who works in isolation, saw the Open Studio Weekend as a great way of “connecting” with Raglan’s arts community, and particularly enjoyed that aspect last January.
Jewellery-maker Sarah Steed said the weekend was a very good opportunity to get people to take your business card and follow up, while potter Clare Wimmer welcomed what she described as the “amazing” exposure. As a direct result of last summer’s weekend her work was publicised on the CleverBastards website.
Photographer Stuart Mackenzie – who works from home in Raglan West with partner Jane Galloway and her son Julian Godfrey, both painters – agreed the exposure was great but also found it a little scary contemplating the possible avalanche of art buffs this time around after the trio still saw more than 200 through their doors the same weekend last year.
The Old School Arts Centre attracted 200 to 300 visitors on each of the three days of last summer’s Open Studio Weekend. Several artists will again be at work within the Stewart Street building this coming weekend.
As in 2011, artists will keep a tally of visitors to their studios so the Raglan Community Arts Council which runs the event can report back to funders – among them Creative Communities NZ, the Waikato District Council and major sponsor the Raglan Land Company.
The event has been advertised this time around in national magazines Life & Leisure, Artzone and Artists Alliance. Turquoise and pink flags and posters will also be placed outside every participating studio and gallery.
Arts council chair Roger Gallagher has stressed to artists the importance of signage. “Make it easy (for visitors) to find your front door.” Edith Symes

fence jumpers who will be dealt with by the police.

RAGLAN Chronicle 7
Last Wednesday and Thursday saw local boats out 60m west at the ‘Trench’ successfully catch four marlin. Boats Paraphernalia, Flying Dutchman and Attitude (2) were the successful vessels.
It was January 1989 that angler Malcolm Cowie out of Manu Bay, in a small open tinnie, caught a marlin that really got the Raglan Billfish Game fishing seasons going.
Raglan Sports Fishing Club has recorded a number of great catches, fishes tagged and released since then.
It is darkest Africa off our coast each season, we are still learning what is out there,
like the last few season with good recorded catches of mahimahi. All species of tuna of good size are caught too.
Raglan has no depth off the coast where these fish are caught - we are not in the Waihau Bay league where there is a huge drop off close in shore. Many of our fish are taking lures in just 40 metres of water.
The Hubert Billfish Tournament has been running for several seasons now. Supporting sponsors are the Raglan Sports Fishing Club and Top Catch Tackle and Bait Shop in Hamilton.
It was upon the death of their father that Barbara and Graham Hubert’s family decided
to provide a Fishing Club trophy and money to promote sport fishing out of Raglan.
The Hubert competition runs for each years fishing season. It has been very successful - getting more game boats out on the water each year. This year the prize is $3000 cash, plus fishing tackle to the value of $1000 from Top Catch.
The Tournament is run under IGFA rules and further details are available from the Raglan Sports Fishing Club.
CURRENT LOCAL AREA FISHING REPORT:
Snapper, kahawai and gurnard are still being caught in good numbers along our coastline at the 40m mark. Not a lot of size in the snapper, all 2/3kgs. Certainly there is plenty of good size kahawai. Water temperatures are 20 degrees. Tuna, now at 60m plus, and they along with the billfish will be working closer to our shores over the next few weeks. Crayfish abound along the shores at the back of the mountain and out on Jacksons and Aotea reefs. Flounder are still up the harbour, try some of the secluded Bays like Kirks Bay at the entrance of the Narrows.
Kayaker’s have reported seeing big kingies (they think) chasing fish just in the last two hours of daylight in the bays opposite the town. I am not surprised to hear this as we had one last week down in Lorenzen Bay.
Remember Sunday the 29th January is the Manu Bay fishing day and in February the 19th to the 26th is the Rollo’s Mixed Classic - both run by the Raglan Sports Fishing Club.Again play it safe and get out on that water.The Raglan Wharf Seagull.

Having the right touch combined with commitment to the game – with training three times a week in Hamilton – has paid off for two Raglan teens who have been selected to compete at the NZ Junior Touch Nationals in Nelson in March.
It’s Jo Meek’s fourth rep year for Waikato and Aragorn Paekau-Heke’s first, and while the boys have played regionally it’s the national challenge that’s got them really excited.
Aragorn, who’s also played Waikato rep rugby league, reckons he loves “everything” about touch and Jo particularly likes being part of its six-player sides which, he says, give greater scope for moves than the rugby he’s played previously.
Both 14-year-olds say they got hooked on the sport back at Raglan Area School before moving on to secondary schools in Hamilton.
They are now part of the recently selected 16-strong Waikato U15
Boys Touch team, coached by Gavin Downes whose Waikato team last year placed third at the nationals. Three boys from that team were also chosen to represent NZ in the latest Youth Development Tour held in Australia.
Sporting glory however comes at a price, with players now needing to raise $1400 each to help cover the cost of the three-day comp in mid-March.
The Raglan pair – both guitarists – plan to busk downtown, and to get into the new “scratchy” fundraising craze from America which has people donating amounts from 50c to $3 through a special Scratch & Help booklet.
Jo’s and Aragorn’s families are right behind the boys’ fundraising efforts and are hoping too to attract team sponsorship, possibly through local businesses and on a wider scale by advertising through Radio Tainui.

Sometimes referred to as Raglan’s Waiheke Island, looking across the harbour towards Raglan from the other side, sheds light on a completely different perspective on our community.
While the coast and land has a significant amount of history associated with it, the area has been developed over the last hundred years or so. Ray White Raglan has recently brought some of the properties around Te Akau Wharf Road on to the market.
The road itself was built ‘about a century ago’ according to local history man John Lawson when there were still kiwi and kaka seen to be roaming around in the bushy coastal area.
Te Akau, more affectionately referred to as
the ‘other side’ of the harbour, has previously been Te Akau Station during the 1900’s, housing many blocks of farms that spanned right up to Port Waikato.
Looking across now, you may be able to spot ‘Juniper Whispers Seaside Estate,’ a pale blue building nestled above the pancake rocks, the ancient limestone coast that borders the inner harbor.
Featuring modern amenities and a beautifully landscaped outdoor area, it could be said that this home designed by James Corn of JC Designs, is the best of both worlds. Sitting on a 6-acre site, this property features many of the bonuses of making the leap to the other side of the harbor.
Surrounded by native bush, peaceful and only a quick boat ride or paddle over to the
Raglan town centre, the properties that are being put on the market definitely offer a tranquil retreat from the busy crowds during summer.
You can see the residents that have already caught on with local business owners, parents and children alike seen making the commute over the strip of water from the ‘other
side’ on anything from kayaks or paddleboards to dinghy’s and yachts.
The skipper of the Harmony lll and owner of Raglan Harbour Cruises, Ian Hardy, can also be seen ferrying residents across from Te Akau, often mooring his boat near the wharf at the end of Bow Street.
Of the ferry that had previously run, John Lawson says that during the early 1900’s the local blacksmith’s daughter would sit at the workshop on Cliff Street waiting for a smoke signal that meant the ferry needed to go across to pick up residents.
While technology has advanced somewhat in a hundred years, you can enjoy the seclusion and simple life of yesteryear and still have modern necessities at your fingertips.
Ray White Raglan will be showcasing their Te Akau properties during an open day on Sunday the 5th of February (Waitangi Weekend). The day will see boat trips taking interested buyers over to the other side of the harbour to explore the Te Akau Wharf Road area.
With the area’s popularity on the rise, there are sure to be some rare and exquisite properties snapped up during this weekend. Ray White has organized everything you need for the day including transport and guides to the area - there will also be some Te Akau residents on hand to give you a taste of what Te Akau living is like.
Don’t miss out on an opportunity to explore the beautiful Te Akau limestone coast and get an exclusive look at some of the properties up for sale. For more information contact Ray White on 07 825 8669. Maki Nishiyama

Why are Maui’s Dolphins so special?
The world’s smallest dolphin, Maui’s are criti-
cally endangered with only about 100 dolphins
remaining… One human-related death would be
one too many. It is likely that the species would
not survive the loss. Why? Maui’s dolphins are
slow breeders, and breed just enough to replace
the number of dolphins that die naturally.
Maui’s dolphins live on the West Coast of the
North Island from Dargaville to New Plymouth
in shallow coastal waters where they are vulner-
able to fishing nets and boats. Maui’s also suffer from degradation of their habitat by pollution,
overfishing, climate change, and more.
Maui’s are only just over a meter long and have
a rounded dorsal fin (shaped like a Mickey Mouse ear!). They hang out in pods of one to
five. Most dolphins are seen by boaters and surfers. In the summer they come quite close to
shore. Keep your eye out for Maui’s Dolphins
when you’re on the water, you might be fortu-
nate enough to see one near Raglan!
If you see a Maui’s Dolphin, please report it to
WWF on 0800 4 MAUIS
If you see a stranded or dead Maui’s dolphin,
please report it right away to the Department of
Conservation - on 0800 DOC HOT (0800 362 468).
To report illegal set nets or other fisheries in-
fringements, call the Ministry of Fisheries on
0800 4 POACHER (0800 4 76224).
Veg of the Month:
Magenta Spreen
Also known as ‘Lambs
Quarters’ or Pink Goose-
foot, this spectacular leafy
plant, native to mountain-
ous areas of India, grows over a metre high and
produces a sparkling, bright pink powder on its
leaves. This powder can also be easily rubbed off
to make for fun garden games. It is a healthy and
vigorous grower and may also be a good compost
crop. The leaves are delicious raw or cooked
Seed Of The Month:
Purslane
Succulent, zesty tast-
ing leaves and drought
resistance make this an
attractive option for the
summer salad garden.
Sow seed every few weeks through summer for
continuous supply. Wild purslane (see pic) grows locally in sandy paddocks, in cracks in the pave-
ment and on driveways. Collect seed from wild
plants and scatter in your garden if you’d like to
have it show up every summer. Cultivated variety
available at seed bank
