A Crystal Meth Poem If my glamorous lifestyle is appealing to you. And you want to try me because you’ve nothing to lose. Then, let me give you a bit of advice. You are a fool. And you’d better think twice. I destroy homes. I tear families apart. I take your children and that’s just the start. I’m more valued than diamonds. More precious than gold. The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold. If you need me, remember; I’m easily found. I live all around you. In school and in town. I live with the rich. I live with the poor. I live just down the road. And maybe next door. I have many names, but there’s one you’ll know best. I’m sure you’ve heard of me. My name’s Crystal Meth. My power is awesome. Try me you’ll see. But if you do, You may never break free.

SMOKE ALARMS. Do you have them in your home?. If not time you stepped out and purchased some. They are not expensive compared to what you could loose if you should have a fire. They could be the saviour of your family, pets and home.
Don’t think it can’t and won’t happen to you! … We all make mistakes and you never know day to day what is in store for you and your family. Make sure you check that it is working from time to time see that the batteries are good. … Why not do a check of your electrical appliances, TV’s, Computers, check the cords and what you have plugged into sockets. Make sure it’s not over loaded. HEATERS check your heaters are free of dust and not put by other furniture or flammable items Make sure they are safe from children and, don't leave children alone with heaters going. Electric blankets when did you have your electric blanket checked? Don’t go to bed and leave them turned on over night. Do you have a Fire Extinguisher in your home. You can never be too safe or prepared when it comes to fire and safety. A fire extinguisher just might be enough to put a small fire out before it gets away from you.

As I mentioned last month, the screen on a laptop is somewhat fragile. What I didn’t mention is that replacing the screen costs at least $150 + fitting. Large screens or touch screens can easily get over $500. So, if you have a screen on your laptop that doesn’t work, let me describe a way to access your laptop without it. Most laptops have a VGA or DVI or HDMI plug on the side somewhere. Modern laptops would have a HDMI plug. With these plugs you can use a special cord to connect the laptop to a spare desktop computer monitor or even to a TV. Of course, your laptop is no longer portable, but it does give you quick access to your data. And don’t worry about understanding what the acronyms VGA, DVI or HDMI mean, or what the plugs look like, just remember that it probably can be done, and give me a call to make it happen. It is possible that your screen may not work due to some other issue. In which case you may be in need of my free quote service. I give free advice on desktop and laptop computers to help you decide what is best for your situation. See my ad for contact details. -David (Kings Computers)

Donald Welsh — ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ Nigel Latta has been on the telly recently, and the last episode I saw was about the countries appalling family violence rates and the damage it does to the next generation. The programme also talked about people who are making a difference in their communities. As a community we need to remember that ‘it takes a village to raise a child’. One of the main causes of family violence is poverty or simply too much money going out and too little coming in. This causes stress and anguish, people sometimes get into situations they can’t see a way out of, and the problems begin. We, as neighbours, in communities need to look after each other and I would like to point to the great work done by the ‘Good neighbour Trust’ http:// www.goodneighbour.co.nz who are a Tauranga based trust helping communities to work together and to care a little bit more for each other, from their website I took this phrase by meeting practical needs, could we build better relationships, and begin the journey of transforming our communities through simple acts of generosity and kindness. This group helps with home improvements projects, a food rescue, and a community gardens. Much of this will help families make their money go a little bit further and help to reduce household stress. This trust was recently awarded the supreme Trustpower Community award and has been nominated for national recognition. Well done! There are times when as neighbours we hear and see things that we might think should not be happening in families and sometimes we will think someone should do something about that. The person that can do something is the person looking at you in the bathroom mirror each morning. YES, YOU! Sometimes you may think about approaching the home yourself, maybe you need to take someone else and sometimes it’s all too hard and you might need to call in someone else. Those people might be the Police or Child Youth & Family. I have worked with (not for) both statutory organisations and they are not as scary as some people think. If you request confidentiality you will usually get it, and really they are there to help, just sometimes help is a tough call of taking action. So I challenge you to think about what you can do to help build a neighbourhood or a community. What would happen if you went and spoke with your neighbour, you know the person living next door to you. How hard would it be to start a relationship with them and become just a little bit involved in their life? How would you feel if the other neighbour did the same to you? If there are things you need but don’t know how to (like gardening), find out, look towards groups like Good Neighbour Trust or other groups who might be able to help you learn some things. When you are in a difficult situation it is what you do to respond to that situation that will define you as a person and make you successful. Have a good month - Donald Welsh - Parenting Coach Tauranga

I'm Brendan Horan and you probably won’t have heard much about the NZ Independent Coalition. We want to change politics for the better and we want to involve you. I never wanted to be a politician . Mostly just lived my life – surfed, fished went to work and didn't really think about them. Then I met a whole bunch of them when I was presenting the weather at TVNZ and I wasn’t impressed. By then I had a son and another child on the way. And I was thinking more about their future and the future of NZ. I thought I could make a difference. I joined a Political party and over the next 4 years I worked my way up the ranks onto the Executive board, campaigned hard across two elections and made it. I’ve been an MP for 3 years now and when I got to parliament I quickly realised that like many other MPs before me, there is a party line that has to followed, backers that must be appeased and trade-offs happen all too frequently. It was only when I became an Independent, I was much more effective. If parties wanted my vote I was able to listen to the people and the interest groups I spoke to and work with them to make changes to their legislation. I was able to be their voice and represent what they wanted. My success rate for positive change increased dramatically. I was able to highlight local issues to Government ministers and work with them for the local people in the Bay. For instance – I asked the Minister of Transport to take the burden of Route K off Tauranga ratepayers. I worked with Todd McLay and Tony Ryall to rid our streets of legal highs I even had Bill Hohepa thank me for my work in standing up for recreational fishermen's rights on the snapper legislation. And on a day to day basis I worked with many locals helping them with individual problems. Over my political life I have realised that the political party system we have has become corporatized. Many MPs climb the corporate ladder of their party rather than serving the people they are supposed to represent. Many MPs want to serve their people but are hindered by their party hierarchy. Many people spoke to me about how disconnected they felt to their MPs. Together we thought - How could we change that? How could we give the power back to the people? How could we make it so that MPs actually represented the will of the people. And so the New Zealand Independent Coalition was born. Imagine being able to vote online and have an ongoing voice in what your MP has to do? Accountable representation - Amazing?! In terms of policy and where we sit - we are centrist. We want the best for NZ economically without raping and pillaging the environment. We want a fair wage economy without businesses going under. We offer political representation by locals, for locals, where MPs first obligation is to the people of their electorate. Where MPs represent the will of the people. Whatever your party affiliation – please consider the benefits of having a representative whose sole job is to look after our people in our region. Please consider giving your vote to me in the Bay of Plenty and Party vote NZ Independent Coalition.

CC’s Bay Of Plenty Community News Letter, Phone: 07 5755 181 ... Email: ccsbopcommunitynewsletter@gmail.com (Page 11) Police Report A victim of crime that I was speaking to recently relayed to me her shock at how old the offender was who entered her home (15 years). Police in Mount Maunganui deal with a high volume of youth offenders, recently there has been a focus on school students who go into the supermarket and steal chocolate to sell on in the school. Another incident that has occurred recently is a Constable being punched in the neck by a 9 year old. The message I am trying to pass on here is not to dismiss suspicious behaviour because the perpetrator looks too young in your view. Over the weekend there has been a spate of burglaries in the Papamoa, Omokoroa, Oropi and Pyes Pa area focusing on houses under construction. There have not been any reports that I am aware of in the Mount area but this message is to advise you that if you are working on a site to ensure all tools are securely stored at the end of the day, also consider if the housing materials left in the property are secure, heat pumps, kitchen appliances and plumbing gear have been taken in these recent break ins. Yesterday (18/08/2014) a tradesman working on Ocean Beach Road returned to his vehicle to find his wallet had been stolen. He saw a male who looked suspicious running from the area. This is a timely reminder to please ensure your vehicles are locked. Trade vehicles are particularly vulnerable as they carry tools and other items of interest to our criminal community.

Support is Important Living with diabetes often means the focus is on trying to keep well and live a ‘normal’ life, striving for life balance; essential to physical wellbeing. Whilst testing blood glucose levels, eating healthily, taking medication and exercise are vital to maintaining good diabetes control, the need for supportive and constructive relationships with others is also important in maintaining a good quality of life. Diabetes Help Tauranga understands the need for support, especially where there are mobility issues. As a result, we have developed ‘diabetes support groups’ throughout the Western Bay of Plenty. Together, we hope to build positive attitudes, learn new ways to adapt to diabetes whilst making new friends. If you have been involved before, or if you would like to get involved, please contact Deborah Cunliffe (Diabetes Help Tauranga Field Worker) on 07 5713422 or email supportgroups@diabeteshelp.org.nz Deborah Cunliffe

Here are some important things to consider: Emergency contact list – include details for SPCA, local council, vet and animal centres Carry box for your animal Copies of important information – vaccination card, vet record, photo of pet (helps identification if needed) Essential supplies - Bottled water, dry food, plastic bags and paper towels Ample blankets/bedding and treats Collar and large name tag (including animal’s name, address and phone number) First aid kit – bandages, iodine, first aid cream, absorbent cotton, sharp scissors, etc)
“Animals Inside” sticker – available from the SPCA

and Spring Street parking buildings will usually be the best value and most convenient places if you want to park in the city centre but don't know how long you will stay.
Graffiti or Noise People are entitled to make a reasonable level of noise, but everyone also has the right to have excessive noise stopped or reduced, provided the noise is under human control. Graffiti vandalism (tagging) is a crime that affects the whole community. It can lower property values and encourage more vandalism and other types of crime. It also costs a lot of money to clean up – money that could be better spent on other things for Tauranga City. If you have an issue with noise, you can call the Council on 07 577 7000 at any time of the day or night to report it. If you see someone tagging phone 111 immediately. The Police have a better chance of taking legal action if they can catch an offender in the act. For general graffiti reporting please call the Council 07 577 7000.

Unfortunately, in spite of all the warnings, advice, TV Ads, road signs, alcohol-impaired driving remains a serious problem that tragically effects many victims, families and friends.

Email: ccsbopcommunitynewsletter@gmail.com (Page 14) NEED HELP WITH PARENTING Parenting is probably one of the hardest and most important jobs. For many though its the one job where the least amount of training and preparation is provided. Parenting can be a wonderful and rewarding experience. Some times it can also have its difficulties. Many parents will experience feelings of uncertainty or being overwhelmed. The demands of parenting, along with maintaining the household and work commitments, can make it a challenge. If you are experiencing these feelings, don’t despair, there are programmes in your community that can help you with parenting assistance and support. Incredible Years is one such parenting programme. This is a course which runs weekly for two and a half hours each session for 14 weeks. Parents with similar parenting needs come together in a group to share their problems. They discuss solutions and also hear examples of day-to-day strategies that will help them improve relationships with their children. Contact Family Works at the Hillier Centre, Bayfair – Ph.(07) 575 9709.

If the emergency is of a serious nature then Welfare Centres will be opened to provide basic services to the community during an emergency. Informa on on the current situa on will be displayed at these also. The loca on of these centres will be publically advised at the me of the emergency and may vary depending on the nature of the situa on. You should record the frequencies for your local sta ons in your Emergency Plan. Also it is a good idea to make sure you have a ba,ery operated radio at home or in your car.

“These are the few ways we can practice humility: To speak as little as possible of one's self. To mind one's own business. Not to want to manage other people's affairs. To avoid curiosity. To accept contradictions and correction cheerfully. To pass over the mistakes of others. To accept insults and injuries. To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked. To be kind and gentle even under provocation. Never to stand on one's dignity. To choose always the hardest.” ― Mother Teresa, The Joy in Loving: A Guide to Daily Living
MISTAKES Those who never make mistakes never make progress Those who never make mistakes never learn ! “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” ― Albert Einstein “Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” ― Napoleon
“Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.” ― Salvador Dalí “We learn from failure, not from success!” ― Bram Stoker, Dracula “Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.” ― Rita Mae Brown, Alma Mater “It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.” ― Steve Maraboli
How old are you? A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch.
"I couldn't help noticing how happy you look," she said. "What's your secret for a long happy life?" "I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day," he said. "I also drink a case of whiskey a week, eat fatty foods, and never exercise." "That's amazing," the woman said. "How old are you?' "Twenty-six," he said Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, How old was your husband?' '98,' she replied. 'Two years older than me.' 'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented. She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?' Senility Prayer: Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference. Little Johnny watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face. "Why do you do that, mommy?" he asked. "To make myself beautiful, "said his mother, who then began removing the cream with a tissue. "What's the matter?" asked Little Johnny. "Giving up?" A small boy stunned his parents when he began to empty his pockets of nickels, dimes and quarters. Finally his mother said, "Where did you get all that money? "At Sunday school," the boy replied nonchalantly. "They have bowls of it."

CC’s Bay Of Plenty Community News Letter, Phone: 07 5755 181 ... Email: ccsbopcommunitynewsletter@gmail.com (Page 18) Support is Important Living with diabetes often means the focus is on trying to keep well and live a ‘normal’ life, striving for life balance; essential to physical wellbeing. Whilst testing blood glucose levels, eating healthily, taking medication and exercise are vital to maintaining good diabetes control, the need for supportive and constructive relationships with others is also important in maintaining a good quality of life. Diabetes Help Tauranga understands the need for support, especially where there are mobility issues. As a result, we have developed ‘diabetes support groups’ throughout the Western Bay of Plenty. Together, we hope to build positive attitudes, learn new ways to adapt to diabetes whilst making new friends. If you have been involved before, or if you would like to get involved, please contact Deborah Cunliffe (Diabetes Help Tauranga Field Worker) on 07 5713422 or email supportgroups@diabeteshelp.org.nz Do You Have Pre-Diabetes? Your GP or Practice Nurse may suggest a blood test to check for your risk of diabetes; this can be a shock if you don’t have any symptoms. Out of the two main ‘types’ of diabetes, type 2 is the most common. The numbers of people with type 2 diabetes is steadily increasing internationally; in the main due to modern, sedentary lifestyles. The cause of Type 1 diabetes, an auto-immune disease usually occurring in children and young adults, is unknown but it is clear there is no connection to lifestyle or obesity. In 2013 there were approximately 243,125 people with type 2 diabetes in New Zealand, an increase of 7.7% on 2012. There are a further 40 – 50% who are unaware they have the disease, with a further 500,000 in the ‘pre-diabetic’ category, sometimes known as ‘impaired glucose tolerance’ or ‘impaired fasting glucose’. Current statistics indicate that approximately 1 in 6 adults aged 65 or older have type 2 diabetes. Although, we normally think of people with diabetes as having symptoms such as excessive thirst and frequent urination, in the early stages of diabetes most people will have no symptoms. Some people such as Maori, Indian and Pacific Islanders, are more at risk than other people of developing type 2 diabetes. Other risk factors include being overweight, lack of physical activity, family history of diabetes, and women who have had large babies and/or gestational diabetes. If you think you are at risk of diabetes or pre-diabetes, it is best to find out as early as possible. A diagnosis of ‘pre-diabetes’ means advice on exercise, diet and weight management can be given, which may assist in slowing down or preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes. A diagnosis of type 2 diabetes will allow you to manage the condition more effectively, slowing down the development of complications such as foot problems, blindness, heart and kidney problems. If you would like more information on pre-diabetes or diabetes ring our INFO line on (07) 5713422 for friendly and helpful support, advice, education and advocacy.
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!!!
If you have a fire and you’re not sure what to do get out and stay out!
DO NOT leave heaters unattended and always unplug heaters when not in use. Keep flammable materials away from the heater. DO NOT plug any other electrical device into the same outlet as your heater. This could result in overheating. Keep heaters away from children and don't place in a child’s room without supervision. Watch when children are wearing nightgowns or other loose clothing that can be easily ignited DO NOT use a heater with a damaged cord Inspect the heaters and cords from time to time. DO NOT use in damp or wet areas. Avoid using electric space heaters in bathrooms or other areas where they may come in contact with water. DO NOT block heater’s air intake or exhaust source Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least three feet from the front of the heater Plug the heater directly into an outlet. Attaching an extension cord to the unit increases the chance of overheating, fires, and electrical shock injuries DO NOT use your heater with extension cords. Overheating of extension cord could result in a fire. Do not touch the heater if you are wet or have wet hands, as this increases the risk of electrical shock. Switch off and unplug the heater when leaving it unattended. . Do this when you go to sleep as well Opt for heaters with tip-over and overheat protection. Today's portable heater models include a variety of safety features that help take some of the worry out of operation. Fireplace Tips Do not use flammable liquids to start or accelerate any fire. Don't use excessive amounts of paper to build roaring fires in fireplaces. It is possible to ignite creosote in the chimney by overbuilding the fire. Never burn charcoal indoors. Burning charcoal can give off lethal amounts of carbon monoxide. Keep flammable materials away from your fireplace. A spark from the fireplace could easily ignite these materials. Before you go to sleep, be sure your fireplace fire is out. NEVER close your damper with hot ashes in the fireplace. A closed damper will help the fire to heat up again and will force toxic carbon monoxide into the house.

Stranger Danger Tips Always try to stay in sight of other people, don't go down back streets or roads 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.
