The roads in town are for everyone. We should expect pedestrians and cyclists. About one third of crashes are caused by SPEEDING If a child steps out 45 metres away and the vehicle is travelling at 60km/h by the time the alert driver reacts and brakes, the car will still be travelling at 44km/h when the child is hit.
There is a one in three chance that the child will die. ►If a vehicle hits a person at 50km/h, the risk of death is 40% ►If a vehicle hits a person at 60km/h, the risk of death is 70% ►If a vehicle hits a person at 70km/h, the risk of death is 96%
Kill your speed, not a child SLOW DOWN
Just a reminder know where the children are when backing your car. They are fast on their feet and can put themselves in danger with out knowing it. Young children are unable to judge and understand what danger is or understand what happens if they run behind a backing car they are usually excited to see someone or go somewhere.

Hello everyone … Editor’s Blurb
Well can you believe we are now in February … the months seem to be passing fast. For most of us it’s back to the routine of work but remembering some people worked right through the Christmas, New Year period. For many family’s the year has not started well … our road and water accidents, in cases causing death, is happening way too often. Why? We are given the information about speed and reckless driving we are told don’t drink, drive, text but still many continue to do it. I have to ask why is the human race such slow learners and only realise their stupidity when it’s too late. SCHOOL is back with children out on the road on bikes, skateboards and on foot please SLOW DOWN and CONSENTRATE on what's going on when travelling. Parents you also need to remind your children that road safety is also their responsibility. Make sure they understand road safety and use crossings and check thoroughly for travelling cars OUR NEW LOOK Wow I have received awesome feedback on our new look thank you for sharing this with me … The January edition looked awesome with the new re-design and photo gloss pages. … please keep the feedback coming.

Civil Defence TXT Alerts
Have you subscribed to receive text alerts? Text alerting is just one of several platforms that Bay of Plenty Civil Defence uses to alert and inform the community. Anyone can subscribe for free to the text and email alerting system through the Bay of Plenty Civil Defence website www.BOPCivilDefence.govt.nz, or text the two letters for the area you live to 2028 (a one off 20c text fee applies). The texts will be sent only for serious threats to life and property, such as National tsunami warnings, and in the event of major earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, where time is of the essence in getting people to take action. You will not be inundated with texts as this system will only be used for significant threats to life or property where time is critical. Civil Defence will continue to use media, the website and social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter for other alerts, warnings and general information/public education. Even if you live out of the region but have friends, family or property and business interests in the Bay, you may wish to sign up for text and email alerts. Nowadays most people have a cellphone, from children to the elderly, and this is just one other way you can stay informed and updated if something happens. Get all your family, friends, neighbours and workmates to sign up, and be better prepared in the event of an emergency.

Trespassing an unwanted person.
Tuesday 01st March 2016 Last Quarter
If a person is not welcome, the most common trespass is where you give the person a written notice stating they are trespassed from the property or premises. It is dated, name of the person trespassed, the place of trespass is noted and a reason signed by the person trespassing the offender. You then send a copy of the trespass to the police where it is lodged. If that person comes back to the property or premises you then ring and report it to the police, they then deal with the offending person. A verbal trespass is where you verbally trespass a person from the property or premises. You forward the details to the police to lodge and if the offender returns you ring the police to deal with the situation. Anybody can trespass a person from their property or premises.
If your car breaks down
If you have a mobile phone, use it to call a breakdown service. If your vehicle is creating a road safety risk, call *555 to alert Police. If you have a flat tyre, think about driving slowly to a safe place to stop. You may damage the tyre and wheel rim, but this may be better than compromising your own safety. Turn on your hazard lights to make the car as visible as possible. If the car breaks down in a potentially dangerous location, put safety first. It may be safer to stay in the car and wait for help than to get out. If you decide it’s safer to leave, be sure there is a safe place you can get to without putting yourself or others in danger. If you decide to leave the car, lock all doors and take your valuables with you, if safe and practical to do so.
Dial *555 FREE from a mobile phone to report road incidents which are urgent but not life-threatening. This includes such things as non-injury crashes, erratic driving, traffic congestion, breakdowns and obstructions on the highway. Your call will go to a Police Communications Centre but will be given lower priority than 111 calls. Dial *555 FREE from a mobile

Do You Or Someone You Know Have A Problem With Alcohol? When I first came to AA I didn't know if I was an alcoholic or not. I knew I had a problem with drinking but I didn't think I was all that bad. I had never been in trouble with the law, never been done for DIC, never had any health issues relating to alcohol, never lost my job because of alcohol, nothing like that. I lived in a nice home and drove a nice car, (I thought alcoholics were homeless people who lived on the street). I only drunk one bottle of wine a day, which I didn't think was all that much. However, some days I'd drink one and a half bottles of wine, sometimes two, sometimes more. On those occasions my drinking was a bit of an issue. I'd wake up with a hangover. The hangovers were becoming increasingly worse. Sometimes I wouldn't be able to remember what I had said or done the night before. Sometimes I'd remember bits and pieces and sometimes it would be a complete mind blank. On those occasions I'd say to myself, "that's it, I'm never going to drink again!" (I've lost count how many times I said that!) Sometimes I would stop drinking for a few days, sometimes a few weeks, sometimes a few months but I would always start again, always! I don't think I really wanted to give up drinking altogether, I liked drinking, I just wanted to learn how to control my drinking and be able to drink "normally." Since coming to AA I've been able to understand, and accept, that I will never be able to drink like a "normal" person. I'm nearly 4 years sober now. And yes, I could pick up a drink anytime but today I choose not to drink. I love my new life of sobriety and I can not express how grateful I am to AA. *Name change for privacy reasons. AA is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety. For more information please call 0800 229 6757 or visit www.aa.org.nz or www.aa.org.nz A.A - Alcoholics Anonymous NZ
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help ...
You are welcome to attend an open meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous at 11 Victoria Road Mount Maunganui St Peters Hall every Tuesday evening at 7.30pm. There are other meetings every day of the week in Tauranga you can get the details from the AA web site or by ringing 0800 229 6757.
FEBRUARY HOROSCOPES Aries Your passion in relationships and friendships might take you outside your regular contacts. It is probably wise to look but not touch. At work, it is a positive month for experimenting with new ideas but don’t expect too much in return. Knuckle down. Taurus Operate in the present and focus on your partner. Try not to second guess relationships, it will only get you in a muddle. There are no gains in business but stay smart and get on with it. Sometimes, we need to ignore the dramas of others. Gemini Your life tends to be complicated at times, in general - a colourful mess. However, your loved ones are used to this and will appreciate your efforts anyway. Work is steady so nothing overly negative is expected this month. Cancer It is probably best to keep your sticky beak out of other people’s problems. Reminding them of their self-created obstacles and short-comings isn’t helpful. Discover how clever you are at the end of the month with new talents emerging. Leo As usual, you are a shining star, unique and bright. Careful! Secrets may be exposed so acting selfishly never goes down well with loved ones. Being transparent is best policy, unless, of course, you are up to no good. Stellar pace at work. Virgo Your dutiful tendencies at work tend to instigate quarrels at home. There are a lot of possibilities and resources available that allows you to realize projects. Solve any problems immediately! Libra The truth is out, so rearrange your schedule. Being vigilant with colleagues at work and taking on board some of their suggestions might be a better strategy. Your darling doesn’t ‘get it’ so be ready to compromise with a lot of wine and chocolates. Scorpio It is all about protecting the family, especially if you have elders. Your head is turned towards work because that is where the fun is. Don’t doubt your abilities. Creating a fuss isn’t necessary. It is probably just old habits kicking in. Sagittarius It is OK actually so trifling with the minor issues and then employing destructive behaviour will not work. Being objective and realizing that your situation is sorting itself out anyway will be a wiser way to react. Others need your assistance. Capricorn More harmony and peace is predicted for you this month. There will be little progress at work so view it as a time to observe rather than initiating new ideas. Satisfaction in love with a balanced perspective is all yours to enjoy. Aquarius Remarkable, unforgettable and full of ‘Zing’! Concentrate on your goals and get that competitive edge. Don’t forget to have a coffee and catch-up with old friends. Fascinating success for pirates. Hrrr…me hearties. Pisces There is a bonus and positive gains awaiting you. Being helpful to others and yet concentrating on what you need to achieve is a juggling act. Just be sincere and say it as it is. You are used to swimming in two directions. Piece of cake!

CC’s Bay Of Plenty Community News Letter, Phone: 021 501 200 ... Email: ccsbopcommunitynewsletter@gmail.com (Page 9) DON’T dismiss a child's complaint of being bullied. Listen to Them: Possibly the worst thing a parent can do is ignore or dismiss a child's complaint of being bullied. It takes a lot of courage for children to admit that someone is picking on them. Respect that courage, and take time to hear them out. Believe Them: Bullying isn't something kids are likely to lie about, so give your children the benefit of the doubt, and let them tell their story. Get as much information as you can, including names of any teachers or students who may have seen the incidents. If possible, find out how your child responded to the bullying, too. Support Them: Telling your child to "just ignore" a bully can be interpreted by your child to mean that their feelings and situation don't matter to you. Even when there's no physical violence, bullying can have severe detrimental effects on a child's emotional well-being. They need to hear more from you than "just ignore it and it will stop." ……………………………………………………….. Make sure your children know that they're not to blame. They may feel like they've done something wrong, or that they in some way provoked or deserved to be bullied. Talk to them about this. Make sure they understand that it's the bully who did something wrong. Encourage Them: Help your child figure out the best way to respond to the bully. Start by asking "If you could tell the bully anything, what would you say?" Kids usually respond with things like "Leave me alone!" or "Why are you so mean?" Reinforce your children's right to stand up for themselves. While you don't want to encourage name-calling or other derogatory comments, your children have a right to ask that they be left alone. And they have the right to expect their wishes to be respected. Contact the School: Chances are, the bully who's picking on your child is picking on other children as well. Contact your child's teachers and principal. Tell them what your child told you. Ask them to keep an eye on the bully and intervene if he or she starts picking on someone. Be prepared to stand your ground if you meet with resistance or apathy………………………………………………. Follow Up: Ask your child, on a regular basis, how things are going at school. Ask specifically about the bully. Find out if the harassment behavior has continued, and what -- if any -- action teachers or other school administrators have taken. This issue may not get resolved right away. It might require multiple conversations with people at your child's school. Stick with it until the matter is resolved satisfactorily.
TXT DRIVING OMG how many times do you have to be told DON’T TXT WHEN DRIVING!!! Why are people so thick regarding this message. What don’t they understand how much danger they are putting themselves and others in by driving with eyes off the road. Come on people don’t be so bloody stupid … there is enough advertising around warning you of the dangers but still you do it. You think it won’t and can’t happen to you… think again. Ads show you the mess, Facebook have messages and ads, TV show enough ads, Police tell you. Today I am passing people txting rrrr There is a heavy amount of traffic at the moment .. The risk is higher Don’t be an idiot and have to live with the fact you have killed a child or friend or family member!!!
Under Fives
Pre-schooler drownings typically occur when a child is allowed out of sight and reach of a caregiver; in the bath, paddling pool, or bucket – or larger bodies of water such as in a beach, lake or river. No children under-five should be drowning in this country. Keep under fives within arm’s reach at all times. It only takes sixty seconds and around five centimetres of water for a child to drown. Safety Tips: Always empty and store paddling pools and water containers after use and ensure you have a safely fenced play area Identify water hazards in and around your home and ensure your children can’t reach them If you're in a group of people, ensure you have an active supervision roster so you know who is watching the children at all times Make sure older children don’t have to take responsibility for younger children Teach your children water safety behaviour from as soon as they are old enough to understand, things like: ‘Never go near the water unless you’re with a grown up’ To learn more about how to keep your children safe while in or around the water please take a look at our Under Five's Be Waterwise resources. Teaching your child water confidence Teaching your child water familiarisation

Always Swim Between The Flags, Listen To and Follow The Life Saving Guards Instructions If you get caught in a rip: Don’t panic
Don’t try to swim against the rip back to shore Let the rip carry you out until the current subsides Then swim parallel to the beach for 30-40 metres before swimming back to shore If you get tired or become frightened, stay calm, raise your arm, call for help and wait for assistance.
Lifejackets
Each year people drown in New Zealand waters who may have been saved if they had been wearing a lifejacket. Legal requirement You must carry a correctly sized life jacket for each person on board the vessel. All lifejackets must meet NZ Standard 5823:2005 or another standard accepted by Maritime NZ. If not being worn they must be stowed in an easily accessible location. This rule applies to all boats including tenders to larger craft. It is the skipper’s legal responsibility to ensure that life jackets are worn in situations of heightened risk, such as when crossing a bar, in rough water, in an emergency and by anyone who can’t swim.

Don’t regret a loss of a family member /friend by not understanding safety around water It happens fast and YES it can happen to you Make sure you check your car over before you start your trip. See that you have good tyres on your car. Make sure your warrant, registration is up to date and 3rd party insurance. Slow down, wear a seatbelt and Drive to the conditions. See that your children are strapped in safely and correctly Don't drive while impaired by drugs or alcohol. Plan your trip take a break every two hours to avoid fatigue. Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination. Let faster traffic past dangerous risks are taken when frustrated. Make sure you have clear vision when over-taking. Obey all traffic signals/signs Don't use your mobile phone while driving. A reminder road rage doesn’t solve anything in fact it just may bring you and others grief. Remember you can dial
*111 to report any dangerous driving …

Reporting child abuse Children-Water
Actively supervise kids whenever around the water—even if lifeguards are present. Do not just drop your kids off at the public pool or leave them at the beach alone Make sure a responsible adult is supervising at all times.. As a parent it is your responsibility to see that your children are safe … it is not all the responsibility of the life guard's. Remember life guards are there to help assist if an emergency arises. Thank you to our Surf life Saving Guards you are our life savers
Anyone can report suspected child abuse in this country and people who call Child, Youth and Family can ask to remain anonymous. Even if an investigation results in no abuse being found the law will protect you if you disclosed or supplied information in good faith. Fear of being wrong is the single most common reason people might decide not to act. People feel this way because they might be afraid of: Repercussions - being thought insensitive - breaking a confidence - being disloyal. One of the best ways to overcome this fear is to equip ourselves with good knowledge and to discuss concerns early with an appropriate person. You can use the Child, Youth and Family freephone – 0508 326 459 – to sound out your concerns. If you are concerned that a child or young person is being abused, remember that their safety and wellbeing comes first. When you are reporting a concern, Child, Youth and Family will need to know as much as possible about the situation. Useful details include the name, age and ethnicity of the child or young person, the address where the child or young person can be found, and as much about the abuse or your concerns as possible.
Divorce, Separation and Children As partners you can separate or divorce. As parents, you have a job for life. When you have kids together your relationship with each other never really ends, it changes. You need to keep your parenting relationship alive and constructive, even when dealing with each other hurts. It might be a huge challenge. It's also one of the best gifts you can give your kids. Children need to feel loved and safe. It’s your job to supply this to your children.
CC’s Bay Of Plenty Community News Letter, Phone: 021 501 200 ... Email: ccsbopcommunitynewsletter@gmail.com (Page 13) Before you get on that bicycle, make sure your helmet is on and fastened properly!!! So many out on bikes with music devices in ears… you can’t hear the traffic. Bikers need to remember it’s not just the drivers responsibility to watch out and be careful. It’s the bikers responsibility as well. Remember to watch for pedestrians and cars backing out of driveways. It is your responsibility to avoid them with your bicycle. Oh, and by the way you give way to pedestrians on the footpath! And make sure you slow down when passing. Now winter is approaching it will get harder to see you MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SAFTEY LIGHTS
Make sure to wear protective gear and clothing that will minimize the amount of injuries in case of an accident
THUMBS UP & THUMBS DOWN DOWN As a senior cyclist I am appalled at the lack of consideration that some cyclists show towards other cyclists and pedestrians on the cycle paths around Papamoa. Many don't have a bell but also don't let you know when they are coming up behind you and going to pass. Also if riding with a friend they expect you to move off the path so they can carry on chatting. Where are your bike rules?? Come on you cycle path cyclists who are guilty it is time to show consideration and respect for others. ….. Chris UP I would like to thank the life saving guards that look after the safety of people over the holidays. You do a great job. Sue P DOWN Arson is the cause of the fire on Mauao last Wednesday night It is a disgrace to think that people would do this! Shame on you and like many hope you are caught. Morris S UP A huge thank you to all those that fought to put the fire out on Mauao. Deb M
Ride defensivelyDon't assume that a driver can see you Safety is no accident. Safety is as simple as ABC... Always Be Careful. Safety -- a small investment for a rich future. Safety isn't expensive--it's priceless. Safety isn't a hobby, it's a living. Safety first... because accidents last. Safety is a cheap and effective insurance policy.
Safety is a continuing journey, not a final destination.
DOWN To the idiot that was speeding on the Welcome Bay road and then giving rude hand signs as you past … I was doing the limit and you flew past cutting between cars. Tina F UP Thank you to all the people that hand in lost property. It was a pleasant surprise to get my phone back… nice to know there are still honest people out there. Cath L UP I want to mention a thank you to the person who help change my tyre on Friday 15th. I have no idea who you are but hope you are reading this … I made it to my meeting Suzanne C Send me your Thumbs Up/Down Emergency 111 … Request Police, Fire, Ambulance, Rescue
Fire: Well we have had heaps of advice in this news letter about keeping yourself and your family safe, and how to see that your home is safe….NOW … THE QUESTION IS … HAVE YOU TAKEN ANY NOTICE??? Have you checked your smoke alarms? Or have you ignored all the advice and ads on TV… think how you would feel if one of your kids got severely burnt or killed due to the lack of checking your smoke alarms or putting smoke alarms in your home. DON’T PUT THIS ON THE GUNA DO LIST!!! Do it now!!!
DRINK DRIVING
We have all been warned about drink driving. We all know we are not to drink & drive …!!! As the ads on the TV say …. DON’T BE A BLOODY IDIOT! Have your party's enjoy your friends and celebrate holidays but use your brains and organise your travel home or stay at your friends place. Taxis are available and in the end are cheaper than a drink driving ticket, loss of licence or living with the fact you have injured or killed another person. Remember if you kill another person or yourself you
HURT & WRECK so many people’s lives.
If you have a fire and you’re not sure what to do get out and stay out!

Back to school is back to reality Oh boy, where did the summer go? Well it’s still here and so is the school term! Parents rejoice as its back to school! YAY! But back to school is back to reality and back into timetables and the sometimes hectic pace of life envelopes us completely. However don’t forget your child at this time; they need your support and encouragement to get back into the school routine and into the social world at school. Parents could be having guided conversations about how to deal with many of the common social issues that appear at school and through the school world. Often our cherubs deal with unkind friends, snobby kids, the socially fringed kid and many more. As much as it is the schools job to educate our children it is often up to us to teach them how to interact with their world and that means helping them to deal with some of these difficult schoolmates. If you have had a problem in the past where your kid has been part of the problem in situations with others work with them on making plans to be better next time, help them to make wise choices. Sometimes parents need to ‘cue’ their child, to help them have a plan for when this or that happens, and to encourage them to think about their behaviour. Recently I’ve been taking my cherubs to school and often this gives us a time to talk, and the conversation has been far reaching and revealing at times, and, no, what goes on tour stays on tour so no stories from my car here! Your car might be a place where the sounds are turned off, and ipads, ipods, and other electronic gismos are turned off, and these parents just might have to have a plain old conversation with their old folk while they are being chauffeured to school. Remember that older kids might talk more freely if they aren’t face to face with you. If there is more than one and they start talking just listen, you never know what you might hear! The start of a school year is a good time to get new routines started and settled into life, so don’t dump it on them, give them time to think through these new things and then a gentle push to get them started. If you are not making them lunch this year, maybe you might make one thing for their lunchbox and get them making the rest. However if you make lunch for them, they will allow you to carry on, so figure out where you draw the line.
PARTY SAFE Hey it’s party season that means fun times with friends. It’s great to be out having fun BUT party safe!!! Don’t think it can’t happen to you. People do spike drinks … Never leave your drink unattended. Unless you know who is buying your drink get it yourself. Contacts: Always have emergency numbers with you. Parents, Friends, Emergency no: 111, Taxi numbers. Always let family know where you are and who you are with. Drink: Don’t drink and drive… make sure you have a sober driver or order a taxi. Don’t get in a car with someone that has been drinking. Make sure you have money in case you need a taxi. ID: Always carry your ID so in an emergency you can be identified and family contacted if needed. Keep your ID safe. Mobile Phone: Make sure your mobile phone is fully charged … put your ID detail on your phone, Keep your mobile on you at all times in case you need it. Drink: Monitor your drink intake. Intoxication puts you in a vulnerable place for danger (disputes, rape, Alcatraz lockup) Don’t make an idiot of yourself that you can’t remember and regret. Carry some morals with you while out having fun. don't scull or mix your drinks. Groups: You are far more safe by staying in groups or with a friend. Take extra care if out on your own. Spiking Drinks: Buy your own drink. Don’t leave your drink un-attended!!! Keep your drink in sight at all. times and know who is around you. Don’t share drinks this can be a danger. It could be spiked
BE A LITTLE CRAZY … ideas Show people in the street a photo of yourself and ask them if they have seen or know this person Order a happy meal from McDonalds and request they put extra happy in it for you. Undo your shoe laces … Then wear a false cast on both wrists and ask people to tie them for you. Ask someone to help you hold something, then when the person has it, run away. (make sure object awkward to hold)
Climb into a window display … then make silly actions / poses when people pass by. Spray whipped cream in your mouth then run down the street yelling help me help me Push your way into a full lift as it moves make out you are about to throw up … (motion sickness) Hahahaha naughty good fun
Have a great month, Donald
The Gift of Someone Who Listens
Those who have travelled a while, along this path called grief, Need to stop and remember that mile, The first mile of no relief. It wasn’t the person with answers. who told us of ways to deal. It wasn’t the one who talked and talked that helped us start to heal. Think of the friends who quietly sat, and held our hands in theirs. The ones who let us talk and talk, and hugged away our tears We need to always remember that more than the words we speak. It’s the gift of someone who listens that most of us desperately seek. Nancy Myerholts

Smoke Alarms in all your rooms
Always try to stay in sight of other people, don't go down back streets or road If you can remember the car number plate or the colour or make of car. If a stranger approaches either on foot or in a vehicle, move back from them. Don’t take any lollies or food from them If they attempt to talk to you or ask for help for any reason, don't go to them stay back. Run away as fast as you can, if you are feeling scared Try and remember what the person looks like and what they are wearing. Yell for help as you run and try to stay in sight of other people Tell someone (a teacher, a parent or police officer or any other trusted adult) about what happened immediately. Always stay alert to who's around if you are out alone or with friends, Always stay in groups If possible. It’s much safer to be in groups. Always look after each other when you are out.

FAMILY VIOLENCE CAN HARM YOUR CHILD FOR LIFE
Babies and infants are precious. Everything babies and toddlers experience affects their brains forever. The way you treat your children counts – and it counts long term. Children are not tough. They are not too young to notice. They do not just get over it. Love care and attention will help children to become happy and stable adults. Shouting, hitting, violence, abuse and ignoring your child have a very bad effect on your baby’s and young child’s brain development. This can cause problems later at school; as teenagers; as adults. Parenting can be tough but one of the most important things you can do is provide a safe home, calm and free from violence for your children. If you get early help the risk of the children suffering long term effects will be less. To get help talk to someone you trust. A support agency that helps family's.

Repair Upgrade Maintenance Flexible, with Reasonable rates Ph: 07 579 9930 Internet Scams.
A recent report on stuff.co.nz showed that between January and November 2015 there were more than 8,000 calls to Netsafe with people reporting they had lost a total of $12 million. The best way to avoid these scams is to be informed and to be careful what you trust on the internet. A good way of doing that is to see what these scams might look like. The Department of Internal Affairs has a website with lots of information at http://www.dia.govt.nz/Services-Anti-Spam-Reported-Scams which also covers the new law about SPAM email. Another excellent site is https://www.netsafe.org.nz/ which has great information about scams and also how to protect yourself from them. The old saying “If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is” still applies, but it’s starting to get difficult to determine if something is actually too good to be true. I’m available to talk to you about any questions you have with scams. Give me a call (579-9930 or see my ad for other contact details). -David (Kings Computers)

Extreme Lives at the Edges of the World The library specializes in the remarkable lives of others through both the extensive biography and non-fiction areas. These books are fresh in, and ripe to pick for some juice reads this summer: Life and Death in the Andes by Kim MacQuarrie follows extreme individuals such as bandits, heroes and revolutionaries via remote mountain trails the length of South America. Where else can you find Escobar, Guevara, Butch Cassidy, Darwin and Shining Path in the same book? The Steel Bonnets by George Macdonald Fraser continues the themes of conflict, remoteness and criminality. Depicting the border between England and Scotland with tales of raiders, freebooters and rustlers. Enough treachery to ensure you are thankful for living in such civilized surroundings. More family-oriented fare from Queenstown author Russell Mawhinney, who takes his family around the world educating their children along the way. Collecting snippets of information along the way, this 195 page experience, titled Blogs of the Travel Bugs, is just aching to be shared Paul Cuming | Dip.
