To the Editor,
I am writing in support of Clint
Baddeley in the upcoming local Body
Elections.
I have known Clint for 30+ years
and have been very happy having him
represent myself and my family as the
Ward Councilor for Raglan.
He has had enough experience with
the Raglan community to professionally
oversee the improvements and changes
that are proposed in this beautiful
environment we are blessed to live
in, but in a way that still preserves the
identity of Raglan as we know it.
Clint is always approachable and
accessible to discuss openly & fairly
any issues people may have.
He is also supportive of all the
varying groups within the community
and is very passionate about the
wellbeing of Raglan & its surrounding
rural areas.
Chris Leuthart, Raglan
Dear Editor
At the ‘meet-the-candidates’ event
on Saturday I found the response to the
question about water meters puzzling.
It was answered by Cr Clint Baddeley
who said water meters were needed to
avoid the risk of excess consumption
lowering the aquifer, thus allowing salt
water to get into our water supply.
This is a problem in areas such as
Canterbury, but Raglan’s water comes
from a spring some 20 metres above sea
level and 400 metres from the creek.
strongly come rain or drought. The only
to the water tower.
Chair of the Community Board,
Rodger Gallagher, is now asking for
a copy of the report Cr Baddeley was
referring to. I’ll be interested to see what
relevance salt water has to explaining
meters in Raglan. If there’s no other
explanation, why is so much being
spent? Why have our water rates risen
12% this year, with a similar increase
planned next year?
Regards
John Lawson, Raglan
To the Editor,
We would like to send a letter of
thanks to the outgoing Community
Board for their hard work on behalf of
our community.
Their role is generally a thankless
one and the work they do goes largely
unremarked and rarely applauded by
the majority but we are aware of the
considerable time that is involved
in carrying out their duties and offer
our thanks. Rodger Gallagher has, in
our opinion, been an outstanding and
hugely dedicated Chair. His oversight
and attention to detail has been
remarkable and will be sorely missed.
Thank you Rodger and all the members
for your work and we also extend our
best wishes to the incoming Board.

Water, water everywhere as storm lashes Raglan
Thursday of last week was not a good time to be delivering mail or circulars around Raglan, with letterboxes presenting as
many water hazards as a Florida golf course after the biggest deluge many longtime locals can recall.The big wet – part of a violent storm that swept
of town, turned streams into raging torrents and left Whaingaroa Harbour a muddy brown for days afterwards.One of the worst affected areas was Wainui Bush
Park where the usually sedate, meandering stream became a wall of water that ripped out newly planted trees and scoured out low-lying undergrowth. Friends of Wainui Reserve volunteers recovered and replanted the young trees.Further downstream, Whaingaroa Harbour Care
staff moved saplings in their nursery to higher ground to avoid a repeat of an incident a couple of months previously when they lost a large number of

did many private properties in and around Raglan. In all 58mm of rain fell during the deluge, which
accompanied by sometimes-violent northwesterly winds lashed Raglan throughout the Wednesday night and well into the next morning.Edith Symes

Store donation box helps out when chips are downA donation box on the counter of Te Kopua Camp Store, containing more than $300 by the start of the season, meant four more children got to play in Raglan Junior Soccer Club this year – and that made life a whole lot easier for those parents with a few kids playing the game.But that’s what community is all about, says Jo
Thompson who’s run her takeaway business at the domain for more than seven years now. Determined to keep the donation box going,
she’s convinced the cause makes people give a little bit more. And when nearby campers come to buy an onion, for instance, to cook dinner in their caravan, they’re happy at Jo’s suggestion they make a donation rather than pay her across the counter. “One lady gave $4 for an onion!” she recalls. Jo’s even had the odd parent come and thank her
for sponsoring their child. “But you don’t do it for recompense, do you … it’s just what you do when you’re in a community.”And the weekly ‘Player of the Day’ meal
vouchers, one for each local team playing Saturdays at Kopua domain, have been coming from the camp store for years now. It’s actually part of Jo’s contract, she reveals, “but I would’ve done it anyway”.

she says. Who knows, there might be a reinvented takeaway business of sorts at Kopua domain. Edith Symes

Coastguard Raglan buoyed by four award wins
Coastguard Raglan is celebrating
the receipt of three awards
at the recent Coastguard
Northern Region’s annual awards
ceremony, and a further award at the
National Coastguard Gala Awards
Evening.
Coastguard Raglan volunteer Kevin Dreaver scooped the Coastguard Rescue Vessel Volunteer of the Year Award at the National Coastguard Gala Awards Evening held in Taupo on Saturday. In addition, he was awarded the same honour by Coastguard Northern Region at their AGM held on Tuesday last week at Auckland Marine Rescue Centre. Following hot on the heels of his dual success, Wally Hawken from Coastguard Raglan won Regional Volunteer of the Year and the Raglan Unit took home Regional Unit of the Year at Coastguard Northern Region’s event. Mr Dreaver was honoured for demonstrating leadership, vision and unwavering commitment during 14 years at Coastguard. The positions he has held within the Unit include Coastguard Raglan President for seven years, Media Liaison, vessel Skipper and local Marine SAR Advisor.Coastguard New Zealand President, Dean
Lawrence says, “Kevin knows Coastguard Raglan inside and out, as a Skipper and Unit leader he provides training and support to his team. Kevin happily shares his knowledge of Coastguard locally and nationally. He is a true leader and an outstanding member of the Coastguard family.“Wally, who is the current President
of the Unit, has been an active member of Coastguard Raglan for the past four years. Always ready to tackle any aspect of Unit operations, Wally has made valuable contributions to Unit administration, training,
fundraising, community awareness and stakeholder engagement. His open door, can-do attitude and ability to think outside the square make him an absolute asset to Coastguard Raglan and the wider organisation.“Our crews couldn’t do
their jobs without people like Kevin and Wally. They have both shown an unwavering commitment and are a credit to themselves and the Unit. To be awarded Unit of the Year as well is a real testament to the whole team. They should all feel very proud of these achievements which are an acknowledgement of their
hard work and dedication.”Giltrap VW, who
sponsored Coastguard Northern Region’s Rescue Vessel Volunteer of the Year Award, is a major sponsor of the organisation. Lee Small, General Manager of Giltrap VW said, “It’s not possible
the service the Coastguard provides for Kiwis nationwide. We’re delighted that once again we can help support their ongoing mission to save lives both at sea and on the water. We hope that Wally will enjoy his prize which is well deserved.”Marissa Kirkham

Re-elect Allan Sanson
WAIKATO DISTRICT COUNCIL
FOR MAYOR
Authorised by Allan Sanson, 540 Hetherington Road, Huntly.
I am seeking your support for re-election as your Mayor. The last three years have been busy in and around Raglan with the opening of a new Footbridge, new Museum/Information Centre, with repairs to
Library. There have also been a number of utility upgrades around Raglan. Raglan is a very iconic destination with a number of tourist operators that myself and Council have supported and will continue to support. There are also a number of projects that Council is working on at the moment for Raglan including the Whaanga Coast Wastewater.
Consultation is an ongoing process, and we
process. Last year I implemented the opportunity for Community Board Chairs or their delegate to participate in Council workshops and Committee meetings. This has given the Community Board a chance to have a hands on approach to decision making and they have taken that up on many occasions. I will continue to work closely with your Ward Councillor and Community Board for the next three years.As your Mayor I have and will continue to be assessable to all ratepayers.

Raglan Junior Soccer Club Prizegiving 2013On Saturday 7th September, Raglan Junior Soccer held their Prizegiving at Raglan Area School Hall. This marked the end of another successful season for the club which continues to grow. Many of the new players were in the
under 6 age group but last year’s all-girls team, the Dolphins, also inspired heaps more girls to join leading to the development of a second all-girls team along with another being a 50/50 split between boys and girls. We also had 4 players, Adi-Grace Mooar, Jet Hughes, Levi White and Jordan Breckon-Mooar, who successfully trialled for Waikato Reps this season.RJS would like to thank all the
coaches, managers and parents helpers, all of whom contribute to the success of the club. We would also like to thank Jo from the Campground Store for her tremendous support of providing Player of the Day for all of our teams, sponsoring 4 children to play soccer this season and for generally looking after the club and its members. We would also like to thank Raglan Area School for allowing us to use the school hall on occasion
club’s team photos. Also we would like to thank the Nautilius Foundation, Ray White and the Community Board for their help with the club’s new jerseys. Lastly we’d also like to thank Waikato District Council for the work they have
this year.
One family have done extremely well with all 3 boys taking the Best All Rounder awards for their respective teams, Dekan Papa (age 4), Tukiri Papa (age 5) and Duran Wipani (age 9). Well done boys! Dekan, Tukiri and Duran are following their Mum’s talent and love of football. Vikki played football from a young age and played for the Waikato Women’s team and at national level for some time. At that time female soccer players were almost frowned upon so she is pleased to see so many young girls playing now.This year the award for ‘Most
Successful Team’ of the season is a tie and is shared between the 7th Grade Stingrays team and the Open Grade Bullsharks team. The Silver Cup will be on display at Jo’s Camp Store for all to see. Congrats to the Stingrays and Bullsharks.Coach Johnny Regnier is celebrating
the Bullsharks success this season by taking the team on a trip to Wellington to see the All Whites play in November. They need to raise a bit of cash to help them get there so please look out for their fundraising activities around town.Some of the teams have one more 5 a
side tournament to attend this weekend, 21/22 September – so good luck to all those participating.We look forward to seeing our
existing players again next season and also to welcoming new players in 2014. Watch this space for muster details early next year.

Raglan residents reassuredWaikato District Council is reassuring Raglan residents that its wastewater treatment plant is more than capable of handling current, and future, wastewater activity.
At September’s Raglan Community Board meeting, committee members raised concerns of an increasing community perception regarding the plant’s ability to cope with increased activity, particularly from development in the area and Whaanga Coast joining the network.
Waikato District Council General Manager Service Delivery, Tim Harty, says Council appreciates and understands the concerns expressed by the community
“The Raglan wastewater treatment plant is more than capable of handling an increase in wastewater and
around half of the maximum capacity allowed.” “The plant is designed to cope with busy periods
and future growth in the community while maintaining compliance with the conditions of the consent.”
An independent review released earlier this month
discharge pumps to start operating and a lack of alarms in the event of a pump failure.
‘Christmas in the Park’ coming for 2013 - with your help‘Christmas in the Park’ is coming to Raglan again this summer. The event will be run at the Te Kopua Domain on Sunday Dec 8th from 5.00p.m. until approx 9.00p.m. The event, as in previous years, will be free to the public. We will start with a children’s
carnival type programme with a visit by Santa and some carols for the children. Our main stage programme will include a mixture of local and outside acts with our headline act being Late 80’s Mercedes and Prestige Dance crew - a top Hip Hop dance crew. As you will be aware this event
costs money to put on and while we have
Raglan revealed last Saturday what Residents and Ratepayers Association president Bob MacLeod termed “its usual apathetic self” over local elections, with fewer than 30 people turning out to the association’s meet-the-candidates meeting at the town hall.But those who did make the effort – and
they were almost entirely the grey brigade – would have come away from the near two-hour talkfest better informed than most in the community on who they should vote for as their Raglan ward councillor.And that’s nothing to sneeze at considering
the traditionally low vote and that the winning margin in the ward councillor race last time around was only 23-odd votes.Saturday morning’s meeting saw ward
candidates Alan Vink and Clint Baddeley separated at the top table by new community board member Jon Taylor, who doesn’t need
And while a second candidates table at the front sat empty, current Waikato district mayor Allan Sanson and mayoral challenger Noel Smith regularly chipped in from the audience with their views on Raglan issues.It was a meeting which had its moments,
with Alan clearly bristling at one stage during question time and Clint, the sitting councillor, showing his annoyance at repeated questions over two issues.The meeting began with Alan promising
a fresh perspective – his campaign slogan – that is all about attentive listening and good consultation to produce good outcomes for the community, while Clint in his opening remarks emphasised all that he’d achieved for Raglan in nine years of hard work and said his simple philosophy was “to get things done”.Then it was time for meeting moderator
Peter Storey to put a string of prepared questions to the pair, and anyone who thought they’d all be of the patsy variety – with the answers well rehearsed – soon found out otherwise.When questions turned to how the
candidates felt about Raglan being promoted as a venue for same-sex weddings, it began to feel there had been something of a question-time hijack by one or two locals with personal agendas. But neither candidate saw a problem with
it. Clint meanwhile showed his annoyance at
repeated questioning from council watchdog John Lawson on bus services – retorting at one point that “buses every quarter hour is ridiculous” – and on why the council was
going to discuss the Rangitaha peninsula housing issue this week with the public excluded.Clint and the two mayoral candidates
would not be drawn on the plan’s merits – even though Clint acknowledged he had sought the community’s views, and felt the zone change application should be handled by independent commissioners. However they all stressed it
was good the matter was out of the Environment Court’s hands and instead with the council where it would be
consulted.For his part Alan was happy to reveal
he was for the development in principle, saying it was a well-planned project by
a very good sustainability-conscious developer.Other questions revealed minor
differences between the pair on freedom camping and handling of the recycling contract but broad agreement on the need for a structure plan and the current liquor ban. In wrapping up Clint reiterated his
“one agenda, to get a few things done” and Alan promised a different style of representation where he’d work hard at bringing opposing viewpoints to agreement.

It’s hard to believe that the Raglan Junior Rugby Club season is over. It is even harder to believe there were no games cancelled due to extremely wet weather. Raglan Junior Rugby has had a very successful season with 9 teams and 144 registered players. Each and every player deserves a pat on
the back – you have all made us very proud. Congratulations to the 13 talented
players who made various Representative Teams;; Tom Wallace, Makoare Mataira, Kyden Waitere, Kane Roberts, Salvador Cotterill-Nagels, Wikiriwhi Rangiawha, Ryan Larkin, Luka Benseman, Jake O’Brien, Sea Reily, Te Kaha Broadbent-King, Cory Gabolinscy & Mattheus Pio. The boys have played an enormous
amount of rugby, each with positions in the representative teams along with trainings on top of their club commitments. To the amazing team of coaches who
put so much time and effort into their teams, to all the parents who have given up their Saturday mornings and to everyone who jumped on board with the fundraising as well as Margaret Dillon, The Chronicle, Te Mata School…thank you! To the Sponsors;; MTF Hamilton –

Raglan Junior Rugby Club: What a season
Brae Wilson from 6th grade. Image: Margaret Dillon
To the Editor,I am pleased to receive a letter from the CEO
of the Waikato District Council (WDC) regarding my submission to the Waikato District Council’s draft second year of their Long Term Plan (LTP) “also known as the 2013/2014 Annual Plan.” My submission noted that, having been present at the various consultations for the LTP as the Raglan Councillor 2001-2004, I was dismayed to read online from the WDC site that, at a meeting of the Finance Committee chaired by the present Raglan Councillor Clint Baddeley regarding a large proposed “private plan” housing development in Raglan which could double the present population, the Chairman of the Community Board and community advocate John Lawson were excluded. I found this totally unacceptable, from both a political and ethical viewpoint, and am surprised that WDC Mayor Sanson allowed it. I hope that voters will take these behaviours into account in their voting intentions for the coming Local Body elections.To quote his letter to me, the CEO of Waikato
District Council says that: “Waikato District Council is working towards greater transparency and improved consultation. We want to be able to utilise legislative processes so that they enhance participation and we want to be able to engage with our communities more effectively, consistently and as early as possible in a less formal and more relevant way. In order for us to implement and improve our consultation methods we are currently developing a Community Engagement Strategy, which is being developed with the support of community representatives.”If this means excluding the Chairman of the
Raglan Community Board from a meeting concerning a resource management development of fundamental importance to its local community and chaired by its own Ward Councillor, I wonder what the rest of this statement implies, given that the WDC has recently made redundant about 20 staff at a cost to ratepayers (one assumes) of $1m, according to press reports.Bring on the elections!SincerelyDr Lesley Syme, Raglan Ward Councillor 2001-

beloved dog went missing in a thunder storm at Te Mata. I’m still asking for any
information regarding his disappearance. If you know if he is dead or alive please contact me or even anonymously let me know. With the passage of time we are
becoming less hopeful that he is still alive but the not knowing is taking a big toll on
us. Someone out there must know what has happened to him or where he is.
I’M OFFERING A $500 REWARD FOR HIS RETURN OR INFORMATIOM
