Who do I coach? Raglan Area School (RAS) Netball
team year's 8 and 9 (12, 13 and 14-year - old's).
How long have I coached for? I have coached the teams for about
6 years. Why did I coach? I wanted my daughter Kendall to be
part of a team sport and it started with running Future Ferns in Raglan with myself and Teresa Hayes back when our girls were about 6 or 7.
What are the highlights of coaching a team?
Seeing them grow and develop in their game and become closer with each other as a team. I almost see these girls like my own and they call me “mum” around school which is kinda cool. We do fun stuff together as well as train.
What are the challenges? Girls at this age can be too chatty so
listening is high on the challenge list. Living rurally can be hard to get into the game but because we are part of the School sports teams we have had use of the school van and get loads of support and help from the school.
What is your coaching style? I want this time we have to be a life
experience and to learn to get on with each other and hopefully kick some butt on the netball court so I have more of a personal type of coaching and try and
encourage them as much as possible. Is it all about winning? I like to see them win the games
because it gives them a huge boost but when they play a solid flowing game and they lose I always tell them how proud I am of them. When our team beats bigger schools like Dio and Sacred Heart it feels good!
Was sport important to me growing up?
I come from a sporting family and had the opportunity to learn many sports. I played rep netball for all my college years and was selected to play for Waikato Under 16's and 18's which is now like the Junior Magic team.
How do I think team sports benefits young ones today?
The team come from all different backgrounds and circumstances. It gives them a sense of ownership and being part of something socially and playing for the school it gives them a sense of pride. We have a big focus at RAS on team sports and that can only be good for everyone.
Best piece of advice I can give parents?
Be involved with your child with your time - learn to coach or ref. Everyone starts at the beginning but the rewards are huge when you see your child beam when they got a great intercept or goal.
What’s up coach?A series of Q & A’s with our local coaches

The Karioi Classic event is attracting increasing numbers of older cyclists, say organisers of
the annual Raglan race.Lisa Thomson, who organised Sunday’s
event with Dirk De Ruysscher, said most of the 226 entries for the cycle part of the race were from 40 to 59-year-olds. The oldest competitor was 70.
This year, cyclists could choose to do the 43km cycle around the Mount Karioi or the 57km route. The longer ride was the more popular choice of older riders, with 12 entries from 60 to 64-year-olds and seven cyclists over 65 years.
“I think people realise what it is to be fit [as they get older],” Lisa said. “They just think ‘I’m going to stay healthy and fit’ and they just go for it. It’s incredibly inspiring.”
The older women were competitive too. Kirsten Milne from Te Awamutu (40-49 years division) was 26 minutes ahead of her closest, and younger, woman rival in the
43km run. Amy Haddon (30-39 years) won the
women’s 57km race, with the first 14 women over the finish line in that race aged 30 to 65 years and over. Sarah Backler (30-39 years) was the first woman home in the 43km cycle race.
But for the men, winning seemed to be more in the hands of the younger competitors.
The top male runner was Carl Fischer (18-29 years). The top place in the 57km race went to Sam Gaze, followed by two other 18-29 year-olds, and the 43km winner was Nathan Johnston from the 17 years and under division.
Raglan doctor Mike Loten, competing in the 43km race, came in first for his 40-49 age group and third overall for that race. His wife, Joan, was the fifth woman home and was the sole female competitor in the field on a single speed bike.
Thirty-two runners left the Raglan Fire Station at 7.30am on Sunday for their 43km route around Mount Karioi, running uphill,
downhill, on gravel, and along the coast to finish, mud-splattered and exhausted, at the Raglan airfield.
Two hours later the 126 cyclists left for the 57km race, followed half an hour later by the 100 cyclists in the shorter 43km race.
A prize-giving ceremony was held later at the Raglan Club, where ceramic medals made by Raglan’s The Monster Company were given to the top three place-getters in each race. The fastest man and woman from both cycle races received $500 each and were made ‘king and queen’ with crowns made by local artist Chris Meek.
Lisa said the Karioi Classic race, which was now in its sixth year, had a loyal base of competitors, with about 70 percent of participants having done the cycle or run part of the race in previous years.
Dirk said they tried to do things a little bit differently each year so they could still attract competitors to their mid-winter event. Rachel Benn

Locals nuts over new dairy free yoghurt
Introducing Mr and Mrs Coconut, aka Latesha Randall and Seb Walter, who have established the Raglan Coconut Yoghurt business in the town.
Tesh Randall and Seb Walter are Raglan’s Mr and Mrs Coconut.
They live, eat and breathe coconut. They even make yoghurt out of the stuff.
This dynamic, hard-working young couple who moved to Raglan nearly three years ago are the creators of the booming Raglan Coconut Yoghurt business that began by accident eight months ago.
Already busy with a joint business and web consultancy company, Tesh started experimenting with making coconut yoghurt at home to cater for Seb’s dairy intolerance.
After making an extra large batch in November, she posted a notice on the Raglan Noticeboard asking if anyone wanted to buy the couple of extra jars she had.
“I had a crazy response. Within a day I had 60 people who wanted yoghurt,” she said.
So the pair spent the weekend making yoghurt and Raglan Coconut Yoghurt was born shortly after.
“It was a really natural evolution of people locally wanting it and telling their friends. Then shops wanted to stock it.”
More than 100 shops around New
Zealand now stocked the yoghurt and the pair, with the help of a few workers, was producing around 1000 jars a week at the Old School Arts Centre’s commercial kitchen.
Now the plan was to set up their own kitchen in Raglan using refurbished shipping containers and they hoped to be operational by October, Tesh said.
The couple also had the more mainstream market, such as supermarkets, in their sights and could add other coconut products and flavoured coconut yoghurts to its line.
Tesh said there seemed to be a big demand for the naturally dairy-free coconut yoghurt from people with dairy intolerances, as well as from vegans and those on the FODMAP and Paleo diets.
The yoghurt also appealed to a growing number of people who were avoiding dairy for environmental reasons.
Of course, another reason was that people just loved the yoghurt.
“People get addicted to it,” Tesh laughed. “We eat tons of it.”
It was hard to see how the couple could fit this growing business into their lives, along with their consultancy business, buying a new home and putting a yurt on their property.
Tesh was also the editor of the quarterly Arrival Magazine, a writer for numerous business, health and lifestyle magazines and did a weekly column on the evolution of Raglan Coconut Yoghurt for business magazine Ideolog.
As an experienced wordsmith, she had self-published a children’s book and a second one would be published in August by an Auckland publishing firm.
But she wouldn’t live anywhere else, she said. Raglan was a great lifestyle choice for the couple, and now Raglan Coconut Yoghurt was reciprocating by benefiting the local community.
“I just like the idea of having a thriving business in Raglan and employing Raglanders,” Tesh said.
The business also used local honey in its product, used recycled paper from LJ Hooker for its packaging, had aprons made by a local woman for taste-testing appearances and kept the local courier busy.
“It only started because it’s Raglan and everyone’s so keen to support you and buy a jar. It wouldn’t happen anywhere else,” Tesh said.

Obesity in our pets
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.

management food purchased
August's hot deal
Obesity has become more and more of a problem in our pets today.
The most usual causes are lack of physical exercise and overfeeding, but other factors like old age, breed type, medical problems and castrating/spaying can all contribute to increased weight gain.
The good news is that several specially formulated diets for weight loss are available for both cats and dogs. They provide all nutritional requirements in a lower calorie formula while still filling the animal up and passing the taste test! These foods are available both in canned and biscuit form. With a reduced energy intake and appropriate activity level, weight reduction can be achieved safely.
A balanced nutritious diet and maintaining a healthy weight are essential for the well-being and longevity of our pets, just as it is for us. For dogs and cats, being overweight can have negative effects on livelihood and is associated with many common health problems such as diabetes, arthritis/joint problems, heart disease, breathing problems and skin problems, to list a few. Treats and ‘table scraps’ are often fed in addition to a
pets normal diet, which can contribute to weight gain, so these must be factored in when calculating total daily feed requirements.
A pets ideal weight is dependent on a few important factors, including size, age and breed. If you are unsure of your pets ideal weight, talk to your vet or vet nurse for advice on how to achieve this, and how they can help you monitor it.
Anexa run a ‘Petfit’ program at our clinics, which uses an easily accessible online tool to guide and monitor weight loss. Upon registering you will receive advice and a plan for your animals dietary management, including specific food recommendations etc. It is also a great idea to make the most of free weigh-ins at your Anexa Clinic to monitor progress and help to keep you and your pet on the right track. These regular weigh-ins can also be very beneficial for even the healthy weight pets. Registering with this program will include a nurses consultation, a health/weight management plan, regular weigh-ins and advice at Anexa’s obesity clinics.
So head in to your local Anexa Clinic today to discuss a tailor made program to suit your pet.

“There’s got to be something more,” coordinator and fabric artist Jean Carbon told the Chronicle last week ahead of meetings in August to plan for the next show, which is now less than a year away. “We need to make it bigger, newer and much more exciting,” she said.
The size of the town hall in Bow Street – it seats only 150 – confines the biennial event, Jean laments. “We could sell so many more tickets … they’re gone the first morning they’re on sale.”
Locals who are turned away are always disappointed, she adds, let alone visitors to town who can’t get tickets on the day because there are never any door sales.
Jean has reservations that staging an extra show on the Sunday – following the Saturday matinee and evening performances – would be a good idea for the many children involved. “They’ll be shattered!”
But she’s excited at the suggestion made after the
last event in 2013 of a live feed to a licensed venue like the Old School Arts Centre in Stewart Street or the Yot Club downtown. Organisers could be at both venues simultaneously, she says, perhaps with a Wintec student in charge of the overall project.
The coming month will see the hard decisions made by a small team of arts enthusiasts – including stalwarts Margot Gillard and Penny Knuiman – who along with Jean and choreographer Patti Mitchley have been the driving forces behind the event, which is about to be mounted for its fifth or sixth time.
After that it’s the funding applications and budgets to be sorted. Staging the event costs $10-12,000, Jean reveals, so funds from Creative New Zealand and WEL Energy Trust are imperative.
But Art To Wear also has “fantastic” sponsorship from local businesses, she adds, and gets huge participation from the local schools and pre-schools to help make it a success.
As an artist herself Jean says it’s not too early for entrants to start thinking now about their creations for the fashion extravaganza, collecting for them or building and making them. “I need a lot of time to start thinking of art things,” she admits of her own hand-dyed silk garments and accessories.
This time round the recycled section – sponsored by Xtreme Zero Waste – is titled ‘On the Re-bound’ and the focus for the colour section is ‘Scarlet Fever’, possibly evoking images from the heady world of movies such as Moulin Rouge and Burlesque, Jean suggests.
JRR Tolkien is the featured author in a section entitled ‘Middle Earth’, while the under-13s can let their imagination run riot with the ‘Wild by Nature’ theme.
‘Time Travel’ is the final category of the event. “We’ve tried for a play on words,” Jean explains of the titles with double meanings, dreamt up by organisers to inspire creativity in the community and beyond.
Art To Wear is always planned for winter to attract visitors to town when it’s quiet, adds Jean, although it wasn’t always that way. The event was originally the grand finale to the annual arts-focused summer schools based at the Old School Arts Centre in Stewart Street, involving the likes of potter Susan Flight and fibre artist Yanny Split.

Raglan Art To Wear will be held in the town hall on Saturday June 4, 2016.

Opinion: What is the TPPA Agreement?
Iam not ‘Proud to Be an American’. I haven’t been for a long time.
Telling people that I am from America is not always the most positive way to start a conversation around here (or anywhere outside of America for that matter). But because this is the land of my Father, the land of his Father and so on, the people have welcomed me with open arms. However, that doesn’t keep the occasional person from awkwardly smiling when I tell them where I am from. They ask what it was like to live there and they ask if I've seen the news lately. Every week there's sadly something negative happening somewhere in America.
I remember singing “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free...” when I was in elementary school. America! Freedom! Pride! It is drilled into your brain from the age of five. And now, this supposed idea of freedom is knocking on the door of New Zealand and other countries throughout the South Pacific in the form of the TPPA, the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement.
The TPPA is meant to "Unlock opportunity for Americans through trade with the Asia Pacific,” but at what cost? The U.S. Government has violated their own country. They have perverted the idea of freedom. They have exhausted the land and the people, so now they’re coming for ours.
Don’t get me wrong, the New Zealand government has its fair share of problems too and our leaders are very much a part of these secret TPPA meetings. But the U.S. Government is imploding, and instead of fixing their own country, they look to rape and raid the last viable part of the world.
If the TPPA passes in New Zealand, it means good ol’ insurance companies from the U.S. could come sweeping in and take away public health care, big pharma corporations (from the U.S.) would snatch up affordable pharmaceuticals and hike up the prices, sacred land that is currently under protection could be opened up for who knows what, it will also impact Internet privacy laws, companies would no longer have to label their GMO food products properly, copyright laws could be altered at the disadvantage and charge of the people, the Treaty of Waitangi could become completely irrelevant... and so much more that we don’t know about.
To make matters worse, if New Zealand or any country resists the demands of others within the TPPA (mainly demands from the U.S.) they could be sued for violation of treaty.
The people of New Zealand... my people, my ancestors, have suffered enough at the hands of the Crown.
If the U.S. can so easily give away sacred land in Arizona and Hawaii (and many more places we probably haven’t heard about), they will not bat an eye at Maori land in New Zealand.
Watching the government of the country that I am supposed to be ‘proud’ to be from, huff and puff their way through the door just because their own country is crumbling is terrifying.
But this isn’t just about New Zealand, this is about all of the countries involved in the TPPA whose voices cannot be heard. This is about their people who have no idea what is going on.
The TPPA is passing right before our eyes. It is an invisible corporate monster waiting to unleash its venom from the inside out.
Sovereignty is being stripped away by the big bad wolf that is the ‘United’
States Government. Although the U.S. is weak, their worldwide threat is very much alive and real. It is something I did not fully recognise until I moved out of their suffocating grasp.
We, the citizens of this world, are being controlled by emotionally dead men in suits who send numbing agents down the pipeline in the form of celebrity gossip and half-assed news coverage. They are fuelled by greed and power and will stop at nothing to get more. Although their puppets are being exposed, the strings still need to be cut.
Maybe this trade agreement would benefit everyone. But if that were the case we would know exactly how. Things wouldn’t be so secretive and my new home wouldn’t feel so threatened.
So now what? I don’t know. I’m not necessarily a
political activist. I have my concerns and frustrations, but politics are definitely not my forte. I am simply fuelled by conflicted emotions that run deep through two countries. In the states I am a minority because I am half Polynesian. In New Zealand I am a foreigner because of my accent. I may look like I belong here, but I don’t sound like I belong. It’s even worse that I sound like an American.
It’s hard not to feel helpless when it seems like our world has been set on fire and those guilty of arson are the ones in charge.
There has to be something. There has to be a way to win.
There are 7 billion of us. Seven billion citizens of the world being controlled by maybe... 5000? When you compare the number of people in power, to the number of people they have power over… it all just sounds ridiculous.
This new transition of the TPPA will change the future for all of us, and they are not giving us a say.
Maybe this is not the most politically correct piece, and I’m missing a few keywords and politically correct phrases. I’m just trying to make sense of it all. You would think that something of this magnitude that will affect millions of people around the world, would be more… open.
TPP negotiations have been going on for years. New Zealand originally entered into an agreement in 2006. But the new signatories, particularly the U.S., coming into it changes everything.
After a recent post on social media, I discovered that there are still so many people who have never even heard of the TPPA. Some might consider that as being uninformed, but the governments and corporations consider that a success.
So if you know anything about the TPPA, please pass that information on to others. If you don’t... start asking questions. Because this is about all of us. If you live in the United States, New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam, Singapore, Mexico, Malaysia, Peru, Japan, Chile, Canada or Brunei, this will affect you. Thanks to the ripple effect, it will ultimately affect the entire world.
It’s time to speak up. The people, the citizens of the world have a right to know and have a say in their future.
We all live on this planet and we all have to survive.
So why don’t we survive on the basis of true and honest freedom, implored and empowered by and for the people.

Sunday 27th July was the official launch date of Māori Language week
- Te Wiki o te Reo Maori. Commemorating 40 years since the very
first Māori Language Day in 1975, this year's theme is ‘Whāngaihia te reo ki ngā Mātua’ or 'instil the language into parents.'
Off the back of the viral video of Kapiti teen Finnian Galbraith and his message about Maori pronunciation, we are reminded of the value te reo holds in our culture.
The poster above, engages the iconic image of Whina Cooper and her mokopuna from the 1975 land march, as they set off on the journey of a life time, now widely regarded as a flashpoint for Māori cultural reclamation. The northern matriarch’s protest was deliberately staged to coincide with the first Māori Language Day (later to become Māori Language Week). For Māori, land/whenua/pāpātuānuku and language/reo are inextricably linked. Alienation of one is an alienation of the other. This image is a reminder of our past and the long journey we have taken. It also reflects on the importance of parents and caregivers in nurturing the next generation.
The poster above on the right depicts newly appointed Māori Language Commissioner, Hinurewa Poutu, with her students and whānau of Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Mana Tamariki. Despite being captured 40 years apart, the two images represent journey, progress, hope and
courage to face adversity.The message, however, remains the same:
Toitū te whenua, toitū te mana, toitū te reo! Hold fast to the land, hold fast to our dignity, hold fast to our language.
Maori language weekPhrase of the week:
Nga Rerenga Korero - English:
Haramai, e te tau! - Come here, my darling!
KUPU - e te tau
ENGLISH - darling
Haramai, e hine! - Come here, my girl!
Haramai, e tama! - Come here, my boy!

Timebank - Neighbours Helping Neighbours
Meet Pia Tahana, Timebank Raglan Coordinator.
The Whaingaroa Environment Centre runs Timebank Raglan, one of a number of Time-banks in New Zealand and around the world. We caught up with Pia to find out a bit more about her and why she Timebanks.
Kia ora Pia! Tell us a bit about yourself Where are you from?I was raised in South Auckland and moved to Raglan at the end of 2013
What do you like about living in Raglan?It’s beauty, the culture of the community, a great place for the kids and the connection it has to my family.
What interested you in Timebank?Getting involved within the community, helping those where I could and to gain knowledge and learn skills from others.
So what is Timebank?Timebank is a community group where neighbours help neighbours, exchanging
abilities, skills, talents and experiences with-in the community without the use of money. It’s a way of giving and receiving to build sup-portive networks and strong communities.
How does it work?One hour helping another earns one Time-Bank Hour (also called credits) TimeBank-ing builds on the magic of “pay it forward,” one good turn leading to another and another.
Why should people join Timebank?It’s a great way to connect with others in the community, help those or receive help from others when needed. You can con-tribute to building a resilient community
How does someone join Timebank?Signup online at raglan.timebanks.org.nz or drop into the Whaingaroa Environment Centre to complete an application form between Monday – Friday 10am – 4pm. Orientations run every Friday 2pm -4pm.

“I didn’t really know where to start a garden so I went on Timebank and I posted a request, two days later Annie and she said she could help me with my garden!Annie and I went to the seed bank together and she told what was good to plant. I borrowed tools from the tool library and she helped me plant seeds, design the garden and she helped me with compost. It was amazing!! Later I got to help An-nie with her garden.And from nothing I now have a lovely garden and a new friend!” - Annika
