Their performance – caught on camera – featured in TVNZ news highlights at 4.30pm the same day, and also on Te Karere, Sky and Te Kaea news programmes in the evening. And they made headlines in the Waikato Times the next morning. It wasn’t a “huge effort” to
celebrate the athletes’ homecoming, teacher Angela Massey told the Chronicle, but it was certainly a big day and an unforgettable one. “The kids were beside themselves ... so inspired.” She told them there was no
reason they couldn’t get a gold medal themselves one day. “They (our athletes) had a dream too,” Angela reminded her young twins Jack and Sasha Kirkwood who were buzzing with excitement.Friend Margaret Dillon was
equally enthused. “There was no way my boys were going to school, this was a day they are going to remember for the rest of their lives,” she told reporters at the airport.
Her sons Awatea and Sean – Raglan Area School students like Jack and Sasha – were pictured in
rowing gold medallist Hamish Bond and proudly displaying their RAGLAN LOVES YOU poster.They’d all left home at 6am after

Raglan residents were to get this
shop at what’s being touted as a “proper” supermarket for the town.
Raglan Four Square closed its doors for the last time at 7 last night and the building was scheduled to reopen as a SuperValue supermarket at noon today, Thursday, following a blessing by kaumatua Sean Ellison and a brief opening ceremony.This morning’s closure was mainly
to allow extra time to put up the new red, white and black signage and to get new computers and tills ready to go.
But the work involved more than rebranding or technical requirements, and shoppers can expect to notice a host of changes over and above what they’ve already seen in the past month or so.Supermarket general manager Shane
Temata says the overnight addition of the likes of Homebrand and Select Signature Range products to the shelves – products that couldn’t be introduced until the new signage went up – means that all-up the new SuperValue will stock a staggering 3500-odd more lines than did Four Square.

Jane Jacobsen and the SuperValue chain – which is under the umbrella of Progressive, best known in the North Island for the Countdown chain – have already talked of pushing into the storage areas out the back and adding
Shane also mentions the new checkout system “will speed everything up” and help reduce queues at peak holiday time.Meanwhile he’s apologised to
customers for the inconvenience caused by all the shifting around of stock in recent weeks, and has thanked staff for their patience and for all the extra work they’ve taken on. “We’ve had to move everything three times in the changeover,” he points out.

Sports News:
A wave of disbelief has met Waikato
District Council’s decision to appoint
a Hamilton real estate agent to try
empty-looking wharf building.
Critics say they cannot fathom why a Lodge commercial property specialist has been given the job over Raglan realtors to market the building for lease.And their concern has been heightened
by rumours doing the rounds – after a claim made at last week’s Raglan Community Board meeting – that potential lessees have been told no-one could come out to show them around the $1.9 million building and that they should look in the windows.The issue came up in the public forum
preceding the community board meeting, where Raglan Community House co-ordinator Chrissy Hodkinson asked simply “Why Lodge?” Raglan ward councillor Clint Baddeley
referred to the matter being an “operational” issue – in other words one handled by council staff based in Ngaruawahia – but board chairman Rodger Gallagher’s response was less diplomatic. “It’s another example of council disengaging from the community,” he complained.Chrissy told the Chronicle she raised the
issue because “it struck me as kind of odd” that Lodge were doing the marketing. She said the council needed reminding there were agents here who could handle the work instead.
The evening before the community board meeting, the same issue was discussed at a regular meeting of the Raglan Chamber of Commerce board. Chairwoman Stephanie Philp said board members couldn’t understand why the council did not use Raglan agents.“It doesn’t make any sense, no logical
sense,” she said. “They should have gone with local people.”A chamber representative who
subsequently went along to the community board meeting said she shared Chrissy’s concerns but was encouraged that Clint undertook to take the matter up with council.Meanwhile it’s understood Lodge have
rung at least one Raglan real estate agency to ask if it would “conjunct” with them in marketing the wharf leases, and that the agency is now obliged to do so if there is interest from potential commercial tenants.However, one agent approached by the
Chronicle for comment was pessimistic over the appeal of the wharf building. “The major concerns that ring in my mind are the [high] rates and the lack of parking, especially on a nice day when a lot of boats are out,” he said. “Retail depends on easy parking – I
wouldn’t sign a lease without it. It’s going to be hard getting that kind of money down there.”The “kind of money” the council has
been seeking in annual rent for the seven premises is understood to range from around $30,000 for a large space fronting where the trawlers moor to half that amount for a

Marketing the Raglan wharf leases may prove a challenge but there’s a mood of positivity now in the Raglan CBD, with one commercial landlord optimistic that town retail premises will soon be “pretty well full”. He told the Chronicle he believed
the uptown bakery could reopen under new management as early as next month and a new restaurant in the old Zaragoza premises by October. There was also interest in the former Splurge shop on Bow Street, and the reletting of the old Raglan Information Centre premises around the corner in Wainui Road was close to a “done deal”.Meantime the increasingly busy
“Lost Lane” precinct off the seaward side of Wainui Road has gained a new outdoor eatery, Juantanamera. From a shiny black caravan there, Juan Vicente Gomez is cooking up and serving – on weekends only at this stage – what he describes as classic Venezuelan food.

smaller premises alongside and on down to $9000 for areas at the rear. With Raglan Seafoods and the council
apparently still negotiating terms as recently as last week, it is believed the Coastguard
wharf building. And that earns the council nothing back on its outlay because the Coastguard is getting a grant equivalent to its rent. Edith Symes

Super Sports do it
againRaglan Club Inc. has a proud record of
achievement at the annual Whangamata Club’s mixed sport tournament. By bringing home the trophy again this year, talented all-rounder Maureen Wahanga has won the pairs trophy three times in the last seven years. This year Thomas Lord, who works part-time at the club driving the courtesy van, partnered Maureen as they tackled 8 ball, indoor bowls and darts.“I wasn’t expecting to do so well at
the indoor bowls part but I played better than expected and with Maureen’s skill level in all three events we were a strong combination”, says Thomas.Both plan to go back to Whangamata
next year to defend their title.
“I really enjoy going to Whangamata and seeing the same players year after year. The competition is full-on so it was great to bring the trophy back to Raglan again”, says Maureen who won the event in 2011 and in 2006. Sue Russell
The Raglan 11th grade team have had a great season and secured themselves a
up against Melville, who they had already played twice and lost on both occasions. However, the team brought
Heather Park against the favourites. Melville had slow start and Raglan capitalized on their mistake and scored
opportunity to score again, going to the break with a 10-0 lead. In the second half Melville never looked like they were a threat and Raglan ran in another two tries and a conversion to win the game 22-0.
Heather Park against Te Rapa on Saturday, so get along to the game and support them.Congratulations to the Team and
their coaches Renata Pirere and Jason Waitere. Goodluck for the Finals and well
done guys! Jolene Robbs

While Frodo and Bilbo were not in
residence at the time of the their visit,
the Raglan Chamber of Commerce
members had a wonderful visit to
the Hobbiton movie set in Matamata
recently.
Hobbiton is expected to rapidly become the number one tourist destination in New
Hobbit, comes out in December. As Tourism New Zealand points out,
when local operators can engage with tourists about places to visit in their area, it gives the tourist a much richer and deeper experience of their time here. This trip was organised as a familiarisation tour with 30 Chamber members taking advantage of the opportunity.The tour was followed by a great
barbecue meal at the Shire’s Rest, a converted wool shed. On site there is also the Hobbiton gift shop, complete with authentic Hobbit and LOTR jewellery.
C h a m b e r members had a great time and the tour is highly r e commended for Hobbit and non Hobbit fans alike. Stephanie Philp
