Dear EditorLorenzen BayThe bay has been central

to my enjoyment of Raglan since I arrived here in 1999. I'm not sure why I came to Raglan, possibly because I'd bought a trailer sailor - Four Seasons - which was too big for Hamilton Lake. Later I fell in love with the town, assisted by the one time 'Molasses,' now 'Black Sands,' and the Friday evening's music and dance. Lorenzen Bay in 1999 was mainly just a view for bayside residents, and a sanctity for a lonely heron. (I think it's found a mate now.) Moored boats have become more regular and the bayside has become a summer playground for day visitors, quite a crowd at times. It is a pity that

the local council has not kept up with the changes and increase of usage. The walkway at the water's edge is very rough stone, hard on the feet, particularly my elderly ones. Similarly the steps from the seabed to the walkway are a penance for those entering or leaving the water. I think Waikato District Council are responsible for maintenance of its area. How about catching up with the increased summer use and making walking less painful? A nice smooth pathway and access steps would be a minor development and small expense for your councillors to support.

Plastic Samoan love story in hot demand in US

The Plastic Samoan love story, Three Wise Cousins, is in hot demand at United States theatres. The Kiwi Samoan movie is now screening in Los Angeles, Anchorage, Washington and Utah.

The fi lm then took off across New Zealand hitting close to a million dollars at the box offi ce and another half million in Australia. Then it made its way across the Pacifi c Islands reaching the USA through Hawaii.

And now it’s Raglan's turn with the

fi lm screening at the Old School Arts Centre in mid July.

Three Wise Cousins is a comedy love story about Adam (Kiwi actor Neil Amituana'i), a 22 year old New Zealand born Samoan guy who falls for Mary. On a 'chance' encounter he learns that Mary only wants to go out with a 'real island guy' - not a plastic one.

Adam realises that to get rid of his 'plastic' ways and impress Mary, he'll have to travel to Samoa and have his cousins teach him how to be a real island guy.

The journey sees Adam enlisting the help of his cousins Tavita (Fesui Viliamu) and Mose (Vito Vito). They teach him how to climb coconut trees, work a plantation and carry out chores in what is an eye-wateringly funny adventure.

Changes to proposed Freedom Camping BylawWaikato District Council has

removed permitted areas for freedom camping in Raglan from its proposed bylaw, and banned more locations.

The council made the changes to its proposed Freedom Camping Bylaw in response to submissions regarding the new legislation.

Council received 90 submissions on the proposed bylaw: 50 against, 29 for and 11 neutral.

The council is drafting the new bylaw in line with the Freedom Camping Act 2011, and it can only restrict or prohibit freedom camping to protect an area, protect the health and safety of people, or protect access.

A large number of submitters did not support the permitted areas for freedom camping that were identifi ed for Raglan: the Wainui Rd car park near the fi re station, parking adjacent to 1-5 Stewart St and the western end of Stewart St.

The reasons included concerns regarding obstruction of access by emergency services personnel, safety issues, crime, noise and rubbish.

“In response to these submissions staff recommend that the permitted areas in Raglan should be removed,” the council said in its summary of submissions.

Submitters also put forward more areas where they thought freedom camping should be prohibited.

“Where the purpose for placing a prohibition fi tted with the (Freedom Camping) Act they have been included in the bylaw,” the summary states.

Prohibited areas in the draft bylaw now include the car park near the fi re station, the

wharf, Earles Pl, Greenslade Rd and Lorenzen Bay Rd and Sunshine Rise.

Other prohibited areas for freedom camping, as outlined in the proposed bylaw, are: Manu Bay and surrounding area, Whale Bay, Tohora Cl, Calvert Pl, Ngarunui Beach Reserve, Kopua Domain, Cliff St, Puriri St, Riria Kereopa Memorial Dr, Wainamu Rd, Papanui Point car park, Swann Access Rd, Wainui Rd, Ruapuke Beach Rd, Bridal Veil Falls car park.

The fi re service, Raglan police and St John Ambulance service all opposed the use of the Wainui Rd car park as a freedom camping site because it would impede operations by emergency services.

Roy Breeze, of the New Zealand Fire Service, recommended that the car park should be listed “as an area where freedom camping is prohibited at all times”.

“The station houses two fi re appliances and an emergency response ute. When a callout is signalled by the station siren, up to 28 brigade members respond,” he wrote in his submission.

“A callout can occur at any time of the day or night, on any day of the week.”

He said the area also had to be kept clear for the rescue helicopter, which uses the landing pad outside the station. “When this occurs, it usually involves a life or death situation where time management is critical.”

David Hall, on behalf of Raglan Police, opposed the bylaw.

“The proposed areas on Wainui Rd and Stewart St are within the liquor ban area for the town. There is potential for campers to breach the liquor ban whilst living in their caravans,” he wrote in his submission.

He said the congregation of campers would attract other people and “potentially

raise the risk of disorderly behaviour (and) of petty crime to take place.”

The Raglan Chamber of Commerce said it did not support freedom camping of any type.

Chairman Dave Currie, in his submission, said freedom camping affected businesses and residents alike. “The proposed solution of the Wainui Rd car park will cause fi nancial harm to established businesses such as Raglan Backpackers and Kopua Holiday Park. And will ultimately damage the aesthetic and amenity values of Raglan.

“Freedom Camping has caused major harm to other New Zealand cities. We suggest the Waikato District Council join the rest of the local government organisations to lobby the central government for a law change.”

Some submitters requested that the entire town of Raglan become a prohibited area, but council said this was “not in keeping with the mobile home friendly approach” that it had chosen to take.

Council also stated that a blanket ban on freedom camping was not permitted.

The proposed bylaw currently allows for freedom camping in self-contained vehicles to occur throughout the district for up to three nights, except in prohibited areas.

The council also made changes to its defi nition of self-contained vehicle, with the proposed bylaw now stating “a self-contained vehicle must be equipped with a toilet that is secured when travelling. The toilet must be readily usable within the vehicle”.

The use of any reserve for freedom camping will assessed as part of the reserve management plan process. This includes the Raglan Rugby Grounds.

The Policy and Regulatory Committee hearing of the Proposed Freedom Camping Bylaw was heard in Ngaruawahia yesterday.

Wide exposure for Raglan artist’s concept of Matariki

Raglan contemporary Māori visual artist Simon Te Wheoro

can almost bank on one of his latest works capturing the attention of plenty of people in the street – and with ready money.

But his striking piece of art refl ecting the rising of the Matariki stars and the beginning of a New Year is not for sale: it was commissioned by the ANZ Bank and forms the surrounds of three “specially selected” North Island ATMs.

The 32-year-old reckons it’s “awesome” that a corporate company has acknowledged

and gotten behind Matariki for three years now by creating the themed surrounds.

“I feel fortunate and happy to be part of the project,” he adds of his selection as this year’s featured artist. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase my work and at the same time acknowledge Whaingaroa.”

Simon’s design incorporates several customary Māori patterns, and features seven moko kauae designs to represent Matariki and her six sisters – a common version of the Matariki story.

He says the two mountains featured at the base of the ATMs to acknowledge Papatuanuku or mother earth are “sacred

landmarks that form part of my genealogy” – Karioi and Mauao, the extinct volcano at Tauranga commonly known simply as the Mount.

Simon reveals a cousin put his name forward for the ANZ art competition a few months ago. “They really liked my work and I got a phone call soon after,” he says.

In a “good weekend’s work” he developed a coloured A3 sketch which the bank then arranged to put in graphic format. A fi nal check by Simon, “a few small changes” and the surrounds which now grace ATMs in central Tauranga, downtown Wellington and Kaitaia were in production.

The bank will also make use of the design on everything from elevator screens to social media contracts and media releases.

Simon describes his work as a contemporary artist as a balance of three disciplines – moko or tattoos, sculpture in wood or stone, and abstract painting in acrylics.

Local examples of his work include a mural unveiled last year outside the Raglan Library and a stainless steel sculpture at the campground end of the Kopua footbridge. He’s also currently helping with a carved waharoa (an entrance or gateway) that will welcome people to Raglan Area School’s 150th jubilee at Labour Weekend.

He’s a past student himself, and did art there under Tania Mills’ tutelage before going on to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree at Toihoukura, the Māori contemporary art school in Gisborne.

Simon, who set up a studio/gallery on the approaches to town in 2013, says it’s a challenging road as an artist but reveals he’s now “busy enough” here without having to take on commissions.

Children belong outdoors. We know this intuitively, these days

an extensive and ever-growing body of research supports this belief.

Children who spend time outside every day are healthier, happier, more creative, less stressed and more alert than those who don’t. To add to our usual repertoire of outdoor activity, we get right behind International Mud Day at Matapihi Kindergarten.

This is a day for children and early childhood teachers all over the world to celebrate nature, the glorious earth beneath our feet, and the joy of making a mess by getting really muddy. Early in the day we headed off to our ‘wild spaces’ to make the most of the natural resources all around us.

Some children stood back and observed for a while before the mud’s magnetic appeal enticed them in. Not only children, but the teachers too, were invigorated by the day’s activities.

The mud pit, the mud slide, or the watery mud puddles gave everyone the chance to connect with the Earth. The joy of those involved is evident in their bright faces, sparkling eyes, wild cries and energetic movements.

These are moments these children will remember forever. All their senses have been engaged and they have been able to experience delight in a way that only children and the young at heart can.

At Matapihi we believe that when children are given ample opportunity to love and connect with nature, they are motivated to care for, and develop respect for, our natural world and all living things. This supports our Early Childhood curriculum which aims to support children “to grow up as competent and confi dent learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society.”

Bag It Raglan seeks help to sew free reusable bags for the community

Two Raglan women are doing their bit to eradicate the use of plastic shopping bags in Raglan – and

they want your help.Victoria Beeby and Di Jennings have

started the Bag It Raglan sewing group, and to date its volunteers have made about 80 reusable and brightly-coloured cloth bags to go out into the community, free of charge.

The sewing group, which is supported by Plastic Bag Free Raglan, started on June 1, initially getting together once a fortnight to churn out the homemade bags. There is a big push this month, in conjunction with Plastic Free July, with seven four-hour sewing sessions scheduled to take place in the Supper Room of the Raglan Town Hall.

Victoria said the sewing group, which provides machines and materials to make the bags, was in need of some more helping hands.

“You don’t even have to know how to sew,” she said.

There is plenty of cutting and ironing that can be done, or making cups of tea.

Victoria fi rst started making bags from home, alone, after getting bombarded with information online about how terribly the earth was being treated by the human race.

“I was so upset, overwhelmed.”So, she decided to do something good

for the environment, something small, a reusable bag, and gifted her wares to

Whaingaroa Organic Kai and the Herbal Dispensary for customers to use.

June Penn, part of the Plastic Bag Free Raglan team and Whaingaroa Environment Centre, said she approached Victoria about her bag making and invited her to help get single-use plastic shopping bags out of Raglan for good.

“It’s so much bigger and better than what I could have done on my own,” said Victoria.

The Plastic Bag Free Raglan initiative aims to make Raglan plastic bag free by July 2017, paid for eight sewing machines for the sewing group, and Di, a former fashion designer, was keen to come on board as the No. 2 of the Bag It Raglan sewing venture.

The bags are available for free from the Whaingaroa Environment Centre.

“This is one of the solutions we are able to provided for free for the community.”

Plastic Bag Free Raglan (PBFR) is working with local businesses to encourage them to provide a sustainble alternative to single-use plastic bags. The PBFR team has been busy researching and testing possible solutions to present to businesses and the community.

“If the community refuses single-use plastic bags, businesses will respond,” she said.

Of 332 community members that responded to a survey in May, 93 percent said they would support a plastic shopping bag free Raglan.

Ninety Raglan businesses out of 113 responded to a similar survey.

June said 59 percent of the businesses that currently provide bags of some sort said they would support a plastic bag free initiative.

“It’s encouraging.”Raglan consumers use 20,000 single-use

plastic shopping bags per week in the fi ve months of summer.

Scientists estimate that every square mile of ocean contains about 46,000 pieces of fl oating plastic. Single use plastic shopping bags pose a major threat to waterways and oceans, polluting beaches and harming marine life.

“We don’t need plastic bags, it’s a behaviour,” said June. Banning plastic bags was “a big mindset change, a habit change”.

“We can make a difference at community level,” said Di.

“And other people might look at what Raglan is up to and say we are going to do that, too.”

The three women want plastic-free to be a part of Raglan’s brand: Raglan by the Sea, a sea free of plastic.

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.

Enrichment for stay at home pets

15% off selected dog toys and cat scratch poles

July's Hot deal

Do you sometimes wonder what your

dog or cat gets up to while you are away at work all day?

Maybe you come home to find holes in the back yard, or pet bedding destroyed or your cat has clawed holes in your new leather lounge suite… it may be that your pet is trying to find their own entertainment.

A solution to relieve your pets boredom may even be as simple as finding something ‘acceptable’ for your pet to chew or claw to encourage them to leave your poor couch out of it!

What are some typical behaviours that pets express to display boredom or use excess energy?

Dogs: Digging holes in the yard; chewing inappropriate items such as the fence, trees/shrubs or outdoor furniture; digging up the vegetable garden; neighbours complaining about your dog barking throughout the day etc.

Cats: Hunting excessively and bringing their food in for you; clawing holes in your couch, bed or walls etc; chewing inappropriate things such as power cords; digging up pot plants and gardens etc.

Why does my pet express these behaviours?

On a basic level, these behaviours (and plenty more!) are often expressed due to boredom and having excess energy that is not being expressed in any other ways.

In the wild, animals have to hunt their own food, but because of the way we have domesticated animals, they are now provided with everything they need. This is great, except it means that they do not need to expel their energy in ways they normally would. To help with this, provide cats with scratching posts, provide plenty of ‘play’ sessions, hide their food around the house so that they have to find it.

For dogs, appropriate exercise is a must, and play sessions are great. Also socialization and play with other dogs is important. Dogs can be provided with ‘treat balls’ as well as other toys and chew bones throughout the day when left at home, and food can also be ‘scattered’ around the lawn (if biscuits) for them to find over the day.

For more tips and advice on enrichment for your stay at home pets, or for further information and ideas on how to instigate these ideas, call your local Anexa FVC clinic to speak to a nurse.

FreshChoice and SuperValue Supermarkets are celebrating Māori Language Week (Te Wiki o te Reo Māori) by providing downloadable Māori language posters, colouring resources and matching cards and sound bites.

All the posters have QR codes which link to the te reo Māori word. The initiative is being applauded by Te

Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori – the Māori Language Commission.

There are 30 coloured posters and colouring pages of everyday food and other items that are found in a supermarket. The 30 items have also been collated into a downloadable matching cards sets which can be used as a memory game. There is sound bites of the 30 items to encourage parent and their children to learn te reo Māori

together. The resources, which have been

translated by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori are designed to help parents and educators teach children and themselves te reo Māori and engage with tamariki about words, colours and letters.

All FreshChoice and SuperValue Supermarkets for the week commencing the 4th July will have the posters by the 30 items to encourage customers to learn the Māori word. The colouring in pages will also be available for customers to pick up.

Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori chief executive Ngahiwi Apanui said it was great to see te reo Māori in places where New Zealanders shop every day.

“The Māori Language Commission’s vision is to hear and see te reo Māori resonate in places and spaces where the language isn’t visible or heard and we commend SuperValue and FreshChoice Supermarkets for encouraging their customers to learn and use the language.”

Supermarket group supporting Maori Language Week

Imagine if the All Blacks walked onto the field, and performed the Haka in English. Or if you

arrived at a marae, only to be welcomed with a recorded karanga played through a speaker.

As communities advance along with modern society, influenced heavily by technology and the internet, we are seemingly being conditioned to learn and accept things as they are presented to us. However, these things in the majority of situations, lack the language of the land.

As a Māori raised in America, I am reminded of the disheartening phrase, “You’re in America now, speak English.” While I have to agree to disagree with that statement, I do know that the unseen damage it has can be life-altering.

Although never aimed at myself, it is something you overhear constantly. Mumbled under frustrated sighs, or worse, spoken directly to someone. Those moments are ingrained in my brain.

But how does that same phrase play out in any other country you are in? What weight would a phrase like that hold in Aotearoa in reference to te reo Māori?

I have yet to start my journey with te reo Māori, but through curiosity I have taken small steps towards that beginning, and my respect for te reo has grown immensely in the time that I have been here.

In my effort to better understand the role of te reo Māori in our culture, I sat down with Mahuru Robb, to hear about her own experiences and what has influenced her personal reo journey.

Mahuru’s parents were involved in the revival of te reo Māori, marching on Parliament and holding hui’s in their whare when she was young. As a child she attended kōhanga reo, but once in primary school, she felt herself moving away from her Māori identity.

Society has a way of influencing our behaviours, causing us to sometimes turn our backs on who we are in order to ‘fit in’ with who we are told to be.

As Mahuru has gotten older, she began to once again recognise the importance of te reo Māori, and has taken advantage of the opportunities to have her own type of revitalisation with the language.

“I am learning for myself, for my own personal development, and for my future whānau so that my children can walk into a situation and be confident,” she said.

The passion she has for te reo is clear. It is something she openly, but carefully shares.

Mahuru’s mindset is similar to others that I have talked with. Many learning young at kōhanga and through their teenage years choosing a different path, but eventually finding their way back.

Tiaki Coates experienced the same identity hurdles when he was young. As a fair Māori, he turned his back on

the culture out of fear of being different. But coming into adulthood, he has since reclaimed his identity and culture and with that, his language.

Tiaki’s partner Madi is from a pākehā family. But her mother raised her with the knowledge that a settler in any foreign country should learn the language of the land, and made sure her children all grew up speaking te reo Māori.

Before their son Tāwhai was born, Tiaki and Madi made the decision to raise him in a total immersion home. So they moved to Whaingaroa to be closer to Madi’s aunties who are fluent in te reo. Māori is the only language spoken to Tāwhai, and is now the main language spoken between the two of them.

They took the opportunity to attend Te Ataarangi, a te reo Māori immersion programme for adults, at Poihakena Marae, and have gone from an English speaking couple to a Māori speaking whānau–which has proven to be incredibly difficult, but equally rewarding.

“We acknowledge that there was a huge battle before us to get the language recognised again,” said Tiaki, “and we see the importance of keeping him close to the language.”

“There is a deep wisdom embedded in the language that will not be brought back into the mainstream culture

without people living and breathing it every day.”

Through their journey Madi has found that her biggest teachers have been Neria Mataira who heads Te Ataarangi programme, and their son Tāwhai, with his vast curiosity.

My conversations with Mahuru and Tiaki reminded me that it is okay to be a non-reo speaking Māori. The journey of te reo Māori is an all encompassing, personal

journey. It is something you take on step by step at your own pace.

What really caught my attention was they way they spoke about te reo. Māori is an emotional language, through my personal interactions I have witnessed the utmost respect when it is being talked about and shared.

There is a gentleness that radiates from the language that ties us all together, Māori and non-Māori alike. Even as a non-speaker I have experienced this.

“The reo is embedded in the land, and the land is embedded within us,” said Tiaki. If you are from Aotearoa, or you are here visiting, you have probably felt it.

So if you are like me, and have yet to start your own te reo Māori journey, don’t fret. There are so many opportunities for us to learn. It just takes a bit of courage. By doing our part to learn te reo, we help to keep the face of Aotearoa alive.

Reo he tikanga, te ahurea ko te reo. Language is culture, culture is language.

Without the language of the land, we lose our identity. If a language is lost, overtime, cultures will lose their way of life, ceasing to exist.

Perspectives and personal journeys around learning te reo Maori

As a Māori raised in America, I am reminded of the disheartening

phrase, “You’re in America now, speak English.”

This month at The Herbal Dispensary we are supporting

Plastic Free July. Plastic Free July aims to raise

awareness of the problems and amount of single-use disposable plastic in our lives and challenges people to do something about it

By 2050 it’s estimated that there will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans. Most comes from land and was once in our hands.

Suzanne, Bronwyn’s mum, has been diligently collecting end of line fabric cuts and sewing them to make reusable cotton bags. When you purchase goods in our store, you will be given one of Suzanne’s bags to reuse every time you go shopping. We also have special Herbal Dispensary organic cotton bags which you can redeem with your loyalty card.

Other ways you can reduce your

plastic consumption are• Use glass jars to fill up with

bulk bin goods• Bring your own clean cup

for your juice and save 50 cents.• Pick up 10 or more pieces of

rubbish as you walk along the beach• Use biodegradable doggy

do bags which you can find in store.• Buy ecologically sustainable

products such as biodegradable sanitary items

Also this month we have re-entered the Waipa Business Awards. Last year we were finalists in 3 categories and the winner of the Small Business category. You can vote for us in the Customer choice award by texting WAIPA Herbal to 4040 and also go in the draw to win $100 phone credit. Thank you Whaingaroa community for your ongoing support.

A new exercise class is being offered in Raglan, catering to maturing bodies and

those recovering from a physical ailment.

Strengthen and Stretch provides a space for movements specifically designed for the aging body and is being held weekly on Wednesday’s at Activate Church from 1.30 to 2.30pm.

Instructor Julie Cockram has recently returned to Raglan. With training from Sports Waikato, she was the Keep-Fit instructor for the Raglan Light Exercise Group for 6 years prior to her move away. Julie is looking forward to sharing her passion of keeping maturing bodies flexible and strong.

Strengthen and Stretch features a warm-up with sitting exercises using stretchy bands or light weights, and incorporates standing movements, using the chair for stability if needed. The class focuses on stretching all muscle groups, rotating joints, balance work and core strengthening.

Julie has a physical ailment herself with her right hand, which she has had to adapt exercises to. This has helped her to understand the importance and need to continue to exercise even with a disability. The exercises are tailored to suit individual needs, providing a more one-on-one approach through the class.

As part of the hour-long class, nutritious refreshments will be provided afterwards, along with a short discussion. Julie will share her knowledge about good healthy nutrition, sharing the recipes for the snacks so participants can make them at home. She will also share what she learned from her own personal experience with detoxifying from pain medication and keeping the body healthy and happy.

Julie plans to keep class numbers to a minimum of 12 to meet the one-on-one and individual needs.

Zoo’s new arrival revealed The latest arrival to Hamilton Zoo will be on display over the school holidays. A male southern white rhinoceros calf has arrived in late June after his mother’s 16-month pregnancy.

The calf brings the total number of white rhinos at Hamilton Zoo to six. The male calf joins his mother Kito, father Kruger, and females Imani, Moesha and her daughter Jamila.

Team Leader of Ungulates (hooved animals) Aaron Gilmore says the calf is healthy, and very keen to feed from Kito.

“He’s a determined little guy, weighing around 63 kilos at birth and already showing his strength,” says Mr Gilmore.

“Depending on weather and his continued growth, school holiday visitors will have the chance to see him in the exhibit with his mother for short periods of time each day.”

“This calf is a very important part of the Australasian breeding programme, and will aid long-term conservation efforts at Hamilton Zoo,” says Mr Gilmore.
