Raglan Water Tower Mural Restored

The water tower mural restored

A combined effort by Raglanders has seen the water tower mural restored after it was damaged in a graffiti attack a few weeks ago. Generous donations by individuals, businesses and organisations allowed the fix-it work to go ahead.

The Raglan Community Arts Council arranged for Raglan artist, Tracy Brechelt of Designs from the Back Of the Fridge to undertake the work. Tracy is an experienced stage set designer and had the right mix of artistic talents to do the repair.

Donations were received from:

Bill Forrest
BP2GO
Grant Cushman
Hannah & Associates
Jenny Carter
Latesha Randall
Raglan Backpackers
Raglan Chamber of Commerce
Raglan Surfing School
Rodger and Virginia Gallagher
Sue and Rob Noble
The Raglan House
Wiremu Demchick

There were 13 donations in all totalling $965. In addition Murdo Shaw, Regional Manager for Wattyl arranged for Wattyl Paints to donate a pallet of cans of Solarguard paint.

Along the way it has been great to have had many supportive messages. I’ve included two below.

Kia ora Rodger,
Having designed and worked on the ‘mural’ in the eighties and having represented what Whaingaroa appeared to me on those days…….
I still feel very much sentimentally attached to these pictures, to the site where it still is and to the people, Maoris and Pakehas, that it represents!
As I read from your advert the community wants to restore it and I wish I were in New Zealand to be involved in this project……..
Anyway if any artistic advice should be needed from my side please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully Maurizio Sarsini (Artist & Architect)

Nga mihi ki a Maurizio mo tona tautoko hei whakatika tena taonga mo te rohe o Whaingaroa.Â

Mauri ora,Ngaronoa

Thank you to all who supported the restoration work.

Rodger Gallagher

ONE LIFE tells the inspiring true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, whose unsung endeavours on the eve of World War II saved more than 600 children from their doom. Nicky considered himself a banker, not a humanitarian. Yet when he visited a recently annexed Prague in 1938 and saw the state of the fleeing Jewish refugees, he did what he believed was the right thing to do – the thing that anyone would do – and dedicated himself to the cause. War was approaching, and it was a race against time. How many children could he liberate before it ran out? Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky is haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to help. And so it’s not until he’s surprised by the survivors on live television that he can accept that when facing devastating atrocities, saving even one life is a victory, and the British public learn the truth about the hero hidden in their midst.

ONE LIFE tells the inspiring true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, whose unsung endeavours on the eve of World War II saved more than 600 children from their doom. Nicky considered himself a banker, not a humanitarian. Yet when he visited a recently annexed Prague in 1938 and saw the state of the fleeing Jewish refugees, he did what he believed was the right thing to do – the thing that anyone would do – and dedicated himself to the cause. War was approaching, and it was a race against time. How many children could he liberate before it ran out? Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky is haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to help. And so it’s not until he’s surprised by the survivors on live television that he can accept that when facing devastating atrocities, saving even one life is a victory, and the British public learn the truth about the hero hidden in their midst.
