Image thanks to Ezra AndreKids take to the stage during
Christmas in The Park.
To the Editor,Thank you, Raglan, for supporting
Christmas in the Park. All the sponsorship and practical help
from so many made the task of organising an event like this a real
privilege. It was great to have so many locals on stage this year;
the highlight for me was the school groups, you all did so
well!
I particularly want to thank all our sponsors, including over 30
local businesses who gave so generously to help make the evening a
possibility. Our major sponsors were Raglan Community Board (WDC),
Creative Communities, Raglan Lions Club, Gallagher Trust, Sky City,
Met Ocean, Kiwi Designer Homes and Ray White. For a full list of
sponsors, please check out our face book page, Raglans Christmas in
the Park. Others helped by giving their time. I would like to
especially thank Waikato Scaffolding who provided the stage and
others who contributed in practical ways, including Rotor Work Ltd
(for guess what?), Whaingaroa Harbour Care, Xtreme Waste, Raglan
Flooring Xtra, and the Maori Wardens for their help with parking
and traffic management.
Finally thank you to all who came along on the night in spite of
the uncertain weather, your support made it all worthwhile. Have a
great Christmas Raglan!
Pastor Roger Peart.
To the Editor,On Friday the 6th of December
Raglan Kindergarten had their annual hngi fundraiser. It was a
great event with lots of whnau and community involvement and heaps
of delicious hngi kai purchased! Raglan Kindergarten would like to

wonderful sponsors Raglan Lawns, Tonic Hairdressing, Direct Tech,
Miro Feeds, Chrissy Cox, Bizworx, Raglan Pharmacy, WTC Roofing, Rob

Raglan Kindergarten TeamTo the Editor,We wish to thank
everyone
who greeted the performance of the Raglan Pipe Band in Bow
Street last Friday evening, 6 December, with enthusiasm.
It certainly heartened the players to hear the applause accorded
to them. The numbers of the band were increased by players and
drummers from other bands, for which we were extremely
grateful.
Also, a big thank you to the people who signed up as Friends of
the band.

Santa made a spectacular entrance by helicopter at last Sundays
Christmas in the Park, delighting the thousand or so revellers at
the biennial Raglan celebration.
The jolly man in red waved and tossed lollies from the air as
the nifty agricultural helicopter circled so sharply over the crowd
it looked Santa might tip out and put a damper on the festive
season.
But fortunately Santa was well strapped in, the Chronicle heard,
and in fine fettle too.
Santas got a good arm, watch out! yelled local MC Dean Hishon
from the stage, set up for the second year running in a far corner
of Kopua Domain well protected from onshore winds by a stand of
remaining trees.
Sure enough the lollies pelted down from above and kids were
scrambling to get them before Santa had even landed and a Mini Moke
chauffeured him to the stage where he gave his traditional ho-ho-ho
greeting and threw out more sweets.
The jolly man exited soon after to a lively rendition of Jingle
Bells performed on stage by a solo guitarist and large group of
school children playing ukuleles.
The four-hour extravaganza kicked off across the estuary with
the Raglan Pipe Band. While local schools took turns at performing
early on, the show carried
on until nightfall with performances by local band The
Kryptonites, Prestige Dance Crew from Auckland and Late 80s
Mercedes from Hamilton.
The Surfside Church event wrapped up with Christmas carols led
by Late 80s Mercedes, the words illuminated on a big screen new to
this years show.
The addition of fairground rides was also new and proved a big
drawcard to families who bought tickets for everything from a mini
ferris wheel and bike carousel to the chair-o-plane, giant slide
and bouncy castle. A face-painting tent also attracted many
littlies, while hot food and coffee were also on offer.
The estimated 1000-strong crowd spread out over the domains
soccer fields, many on picnic rugs or under gazebos was as good as
weve had said Surfside stalwart Norris Peart.
Norris whos seen Santa come and go over the years via anything
from a boat and car to a parachute (twice) and a Harley Davidson
revealed Santas daredevil flight this year came courtesy of Te Uku
local Chris Field and Rotor Work Helicopter Services from Te
Kowhai.
Edith Symes
Christmas in the Park had significant support from Waikato
Scaffolding which erected the stage, SkyCity, Gallagher Trust,
Creative Communities NZ and locally Raglan Community Board, Raglan
Lions Club and MetOcean Solutions and Hong Kong Kitchen for the

4 RAGLAN Chronicle
Union Church fills gap witha Christmas Day barbecue
Sizeable turnout over having peninsula say
Raglan will have a community Christmas Day lunch after all but
on a lesser scale and with a distinctive beachside flavour.
With the towns annual Christmas dinner in the town hall
cancelled this year, the Union Church has stepped in to host a
barbecue lunch on the grassed area alongside the church at the
bottom of Stewart Street.
Someone needed to do it, says Pastor Jeanette Vink. Theres so
many people on their own.
But she emphasises the noon to 2pm Christmas Day barbecue will
be quite different to the comparatively lavish affair organised for
the past three years by Sue Oliver, Anglican Church priest Rhonda
Chung, her chef husband Colin and longtime local muso Dave
Maybee.
Were not duplicating that, Jeanette says. There are no chefs in
our midst.
She also makes clear theyll be able to seat and feed a maximum
of 75 guests as opposed to the 150, 200 and 215 the town hall
Christmas dinner has catered for over the past three years.
One lady has already offered to make mini Christmas cakes for
all 75 guests, says Jeanette, while another has taken on the making
of the Christmas puddings.
Individuals and businesses in town, including the local butcher,
will help sponsor the event.
Jeanette says if people particularly the elderly who may have
families far away are on their own at Christmas, they should come
and share in the festivities whether theyre churchgoers or not.
Backpackers and under-resourced families are also welcome, she
adds, and therell be small gifts and games for the children.
Shes open to donations of cash or food, and would also welcome
anyone able to lend a helping hand.
With much of the regular congregation away or tied up with their
own families come Christmas, she says the Union Church itself has
not a lot of labour to call on and would appreciate any assistance
on the day.
The idea is to keep the occasion simple, with some of the food
prepared beforehand by church members.
There will be no service at the Union Church on Christmas Day,
but there will be a Christmas Eve family service at 6.30pm.
Colin Chung meanwhile says its good the Union Church has stepped
in to fill the void, and adds the annual town hall community
Christmas dinner which runs from noon to about 3pm will be back
next year with all hands on deck.
He and his co-organisers ran an advert in the Chronicle recently
encouraging the Raglan community to invite people to their table if
you know they are going to be on their own. E Symes
To book your place at the Union Church Christmas Day free
barbecue lunch, please phone 825 8330 or text 021 265 3683 by next
Wednesday December 18. The church hall will accommodate the lunch
if the weather is unsuitable for the outdoors.
Pastor Jeanette Vink in the grounds of Raglan Union Church where
the Christmas Day bbq lunch will be
held, weather permitting.
Waikato District Council could have a sizeable pile of
submissions by tomorrow (Friday) over a bid to rezone the Rangitahi
Peninsula if a public meeting held at Raglan town hall last
Saturday is any accurate gauge of community interest.
Locals packed the town hall supper room for a Raglan Residents
& Ratepayers Association briefing on how to go about making
submissions on what is known as private plan change 12 a zoning
change proposed by the Raglan Land Company so it can then seek
resource consent for a development of up to 500 homes and
associated amenities on the peninsula.
Jenni Vernon, who has 18 years experience as a Resource
Management Act commissioner, emphasised that residents submitting
against the plan must put emotion aside and focus only on what they
saw as significant adverse environmental effects.
These took in the likes of amenity and landscape values, dust
and noise issues, iwi or cultural effects, and economic and social
effects.
She also stressed it was not a numbers game and that the volume
of submissions received would not in itself carry weight with the
independent commissioners appointed by Waikato District
Council.
Raglan ward councillor Clint Baddeley told the meeting it had
always seemed to us [council] that the private plan change should
be a fully notified process it is important that the community has
its say in a way that has value to the commissioners.
Submissions in support of, or against the proposed change, must
be in by tomorrow (Friday) and then commissioners Phil Mitchell of
Auckland and Alan Watson of Tauranga will conduct hearings on the
bid to rezone the peninsula from rural to residential.
Saturdays meeting heard that under the seriously complicated
Resource Management Act the private plan change was a long journey
that could take up to five years. The matter would end up out of
the commissioners hands if parties appealed their decision. If
mediation failed the issue would be decided in the Environment
Court.
A.T
Agony and ecstasy awaitmountain run trailblazers
Raglan can expect a few hardy locals and plenty out-of-towners
at Saturdays inaugural Karioi Trail race an extreme sports event
which traverses the mountain twice for a total distance of 25
kilometres and an 1850-metre all-up ascent.
The second steep climb of Karioi will undoubtedly be the
toughest for competitors, says Raglan resident and event organiser
Francois Mazet, an endurance runner of mountain trails in
France.
But one good point is that the view is amazing, he told the
Chronicle this week.
Francois has just completed the run/walk trail for which hes cut
and cleared new tracks in four hours. But competitors have double
that time in which to finish the event, he points out, and the
distance can be shared in a two-person team event relay.
Not that its all about the time, he adds, its about the
pleasure. Karioi is a mountain that we love running and thats why
we want to share the experience.
The race, which Francois hopes to make an annual event, starts
at 8am from the Swann farm on the Ruapuke side of the mountain.
Francois is delighted that Rotoruas Mike Tennent, whos running
52 half-marathons (or more) in 52 weeks to raise money for Hospice,
has registered for the race. Only last weekend the 54-year-old was
competing in The Goat Adventure Run at Tongariro, widely acclaimed
as one of the countrys premier off road running events.
Also competing are lots of men in the 40-60 age group and six
women. Local possibles include Tom Welby, Mike Loten and Lorraine
Von Huben.
Prize-giving at Raglan Golf Club is at 5.30 on the day, with
trophies for the winners made by local steel artist Phil Meek.
Raglan businesses have supported the event with spot prizes up for
grabs, ranging from massage and Volcom vouchers to a Wahine Moe
cruise on the Whaingaroa Harbour.
Late registrations can be made at Raglan Rugby Club tomorrow
(Friday), 4-8pm, and at the Ruapuke startline on Saturday,
6.30-7.30am. Cash only. Go to www.raglankarioitrail.com for more

No picnic putting on a mass haka

Bankart Street, Raglan

For the second time in just over a fortnight a promised big haka
to protest seabed mining and deep-sea oil drilling has failed to
eventuate to the disappointment of Raglan residents whod wanted to
join in.
A planned haka at the huge Banners on the Beach protest at
Wainamu (Ocean) Beach on November 23 was abandoned for what KASM
president Phil McCabe called strategic reasons, and then last
Sunday a mass haka which was to have rounded out a Tainui iwi and
KASM-organised picnic with a cause at the Kokiri Centre also failed
to eventuate.
Sundays haka was to have sent a message that you do not mine the
seabed or drill for oil in Aotearoa, and numbers at the picnic
swelled from 40-odd to about 80 as the time set down for the
protest approached.
However kaumatua Russell Riki told the gathering the traditional
Maori challenge was not to be taken lightly and were not going to
have a haka today.
While no-one spelt out exactly why not, Russell Riki did talk of
his preference to hold a haka to coincide with the closing of
submissions on seabed mining and of his fellow kaumatua Sean
Ellison being a bit sick with a sore throat and wanting to save
his voice for Raglans Christmas in the Park that evening.
Clearly the disappointing turnout on the day a situation the
Chronicle contributed to by publishing a wrong date for the picnic
may well have been another factor.
The picnic was a relaxed and informative affair, with anybody
who wanted able to take a turn at the microphone and give
picnickers their take on the mining and oil drilling issues. Even
two community police officers who turned up at the event their
presence obviously resented by some, who saw it as Government
interference were
cajoled by Angeline Greensill into saying a few words.
While the picnic was ostensibly about awakening the elements and
defending the ocean, in practical terms it also provided the
opportunity for people to put together on the spot their
submissions against seabed mining.
Through the day a couple of would-be graffiti artists under the
tutelage of painter and art teacher Xavier Meade also spraypainted
a huge No Deep Sea Oil message on a wall of the Kokiri stage thats
easily visible to boats entering Whaingaroa Harbour. Edith

Kick butt team wants action
Dead animals may not be the most conventional concept for art
but taxidermy is nothing new. Examples of embalmed animals can date
back to ancient civilizations and this Friday the 13th, you can
experience for yourself what can be created out of animal skins and
bones.
A joint exhibition by Annick Faubert and Marten ten Broek,
Animisme will present a different perspective on life and death
through skins, feathers, bones and horns. Marten, with his bone
work pieces and Annick with her taxidermy, will have 13 pieces each
on display at the Studeo gallery.
While some might wonder how an interest in taxidermy began,
Annick recalls shes always had a keen interest in the process.
I remember when I was younger Id always try to keep pieces (of
animals) that my dad had left over after hunting, she says. Having
not known the proper methods of stuffing and tanning they would
often rot and spoil.
Her interest in the subject has been recently renewed after she
saw raw deer hide for sale on Trade Me and decided to give it
another go.
I try to use as few chemicals as possible. Annick employs an old
Native American method of tanning where brains are used to put fat
& protein back into the skin.
Using mostly birds and small mammals, the animals are often road
kill or a by-product of farming and hunting, so the animals are
recycled in a sense.
People will often donate them to me. Even people I dont even
know will drop something off or give me call. The others are
donated by farmers (e.g. still born lambs) and hunters with parts
of animals they dont want.
An exhibition not to be missed, expect traditional stuffed
taxidermy pieces as well as framed art and some functional pieces
like lamps and hooks. Maki Nishiyama

Kick butt team wants actionSmokers be warned, a self-styled Kick
butt team is on the prowl and wants to change your habit of tossing
butts indiscriminately about the Raglan CBD.
Merren Tait and Lisa Thomson presented to the Raglan Community
Board last Tuesday a large Agee-style jar of butts collected in
just an hour around Trade Aid and the library. Merren
said the butts were incredibly toxic, and the filters had
plastic so never properly biodegraded.
The pair noted many of the tourists coming here were smokers and
called for special butt depositories to be placed strategically
about town. Board members indicated it would be worthwhile for the
duo to prepare and lodge a submission on the issue.
Christmas is fast approaching so we would like to remind
patients to include repeat prescriptions and
booking doctor appointments in their
Christmas checklist.
The clinic will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday during the
week of Christmas and the New Year. This, combined with our annual
influx of visitors, will have a big impact on the number of
appointments available. We would therefore advise patients to make
essential bookings in advance.
Patients can contact the clinic to order repeat scripts via
email: [email protected] or by leaving a detailed message
on the nurse answer phone. Please be sure to clearly state your
full name, telephone number and the list of medications that you
need. Please be mindful that prescriptions may take up to 48 hours
to process over this busy period.
Hamish Seton joins the team this Friday
as a Registrar and will be with us until June next year and long
time Raglan resident Carol Millar has also joined the team as a
receptionist. She will be working alongside Lynny and Debbie on the
front desk. Carol is well known around town from working as a St.
Johns Ambulance Officer which she has done for the last twelve
years. She also runs the Blue Cottage Cattery from her home on
State Highway 23.

Restricted Fire Seasonfor Rural and Urban AreasPursuant to
section 22 Forest & Rural Fires Act 1977 & Waikato District
Council Open Air Bylaw 2007 and 2012
Waikato District as Fire Authority for the Waikato territorial
district gives notice of a RESTRICTED fire season in effect from
Monday 9th December 2013 until further notice. The risk of fires
spreading is becoming higher as temperatures rise and rainfall
decreases increasing fire danger levels across the district.
During a RESTRICTED fire season permits are required for all
fires in the open air within rural and urban areas of the Waikato
except for barbeques, hangis and fires in properly constructed
incinerators or small braziers.
Properties within a one kilometre margin of a Department of
Conservation area are required to obtain a fire permit from the
Department of Conservation.
Permits for areas within the Waikato district can be applied for
by contacting the Waikato District Council. Fires cannot be lit
until a permit has been obtained.
Landowners are reminded that they are responsible for the
management of all fires lit on their land and could be held
accountable for any suppression costs if the fire gets out of
control even if a permit has been issued.
Fires must be safe, contained and monitored at all times.
Consideration must be made to avoid smoke nuisance to neighbours
and its effect on road visibility.
Those living on peat soils should ensure that there is no risk
of fire becoming seated in these soils.
At no time is it permissible to burn green vegetation, rubber,
plastics, toxic materials or treated timber.
