China is coming to Te Puke. “We are going to show our local people a piece of our Chinese culture,” says Tina Zhang. More and more Chinese people are moving to this rural idyll so local leaders decided it was high time

they celebrated the fact. There will be performances, a demonstrations on the art of making tea, Tai chi and a traditional Chinese fashion show Tina says it is a nice and peaceful place to live with not too many people around. “Here people are very

friendly. People who don’t know you say ‘hello’ or ‘good morning’.” The Chinese friendship celebration is in the Te Puke Memorial Hall on Saturday from 11.30am – 2pm. Bring a plate of food to share for lunch. Photo: John Borren

oll up, take your medicine “ ’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a pre frontal lobotomy,” said 20th Century poet and author orothy Parker. f one of our own great thinkers has their way we could soon get at least one of those things at a drive through – and it’s not the one you think. rive through medical clinics are on the hori on, thanks to the vision of r ance ’Sullivan. r ance wants to make healthcare more accessible to the masses and what better way to do that than a 0 foot container with windows at either end. ’m a little bit nervous about this concept but anything that cuts down on the waiting time is a good thing. To illustrate this point, in preparation for her doctor’s appointment last week, my wife bought a current, germ free edition of ew Zealand Woman’s Weekly, a keto scone and a large mericano. She then caught two Pokemon while waiting at reception before settling in for an hour long wait, with her picnic. f you don’t know what a Pokemon is, then oogle it, because ’m not 100 per cent sure either. t’s not contagious though. ance reckons healthcare is at least as important as fast food. f Macca’s can deliver in seven minutes, then the medical profession shouldn’t be far behind. The issue with this is that fast food is not an e act science and , like many other innocent people, have been a victim of this. ust recently, was home alone, so naturally was going to go a bit wild. nstead of cooking tea, drove off in the direction of the olden rches and ordered the fanciest thing on the menu, which everyone knows is The Serious ngus Burger. othing else – no fries, no deserts, no fi y drink ot even a Coke Zero. The woman at the drive through counter e citedly handed me the brown bag and

They were very apologetic and soothed my turbulent thoughts with a free apple pie. But the moment was gone. We have a right to be a little bit sceptical about the concept of a medical drive through.

orgetting to pop that antiperspirant on in the morning is a terrible feeling – there should be little kiosks available that you can roll up to.

REBEL TWIN 9.0m x 6.6m GOTTAGE

Taxi drivers on this section of Dive Crescent have come under fire from rocks and other missiles launched from the cliffs above.

Softball si ed rocks and golf balls have become missiles hurled by hooligans from the bank along Cliff oad at vehicles travelling on waterfront ive Crescent.

nd there have been calls for the perpetrators to be caught before someone is seriously in ured or killed. Ta i cabs have been struck by golf balls and rocks and windscreens broken. “ t was like a mortar being fired at me, gave me helluva fright,” says cabbie ames. He did not want to be identified. “ looked back and saw these two hug rocks in the middle of the road and thought ‘whoa ’” ames says they weren’t pebbles, they were rocks, softball si ed stuff. He has come under fire three o four times, and once his windscreen was broken. He’s had other close shaves where the rock crashed into the window frame of his ta i van. ach time, he has complained to the police. The cabbies won’t be drawn on whether they believe the attacks are acts of wanton vandalism, or are racially or professionally motivated. “To be honest, we have no idea what the reason is” says sh Marwaha, ew Zealand Cabs Tauranga office manager “But someone could get seriously hurt.” “ t’s reckless and it’s e tremely dangerous,” says Tauranga MP Simon Bridges. “ nd am calling on the police to be there on Saturday nights to stop this behaviour.” Police say they had several complaints late last year

but have no record of any recent complaints. The cabbies raised the issue this year with Simon Bridges who is a regular cab commuter. “They wanted my help. suggested they talk to the media but they didn’t want to cause a fuss, they didn’t want to be seen complaining about a perceived lack of action on their complaints to police. “Police need to sweat the small stuff – even though this is not small stuff.” The MP wants police to be on Cliff oad on Saturday night. “ ot dealing with this every Saturday night is ine cusable given this criminal activity is taking place literally under their noses.” The police station is near where the rocks are being launched. police spokesman agreed the behaviour has the potential to cause serious in ury or even death. Police want witnesses or victims to report it immediately. few weeks ago it was happening regularly. “ very cab was complaining,” says sh. nd there seemed to be a pattern – Saturday night between about 10pm and 2am Sunday morning. “They would be coming off the bridge from Mount Maunganui and e it into ive Crescent headed into the city. nd they would be thrown at the cars – balls, golf balls.” Bumpers were struck, bonnets were damaged. “ nd they smashed the glass,” says sh Marwaha. Ta i windows were broken. fter the last incident, ta i drivers made a beeline for Cliff oad. By the time they got there, the offenders had absconded. The attacks have cost thousands of dollars. e on er er on o th tor t n e o n

WorkSafe investigators are meeting with police today as they look to investigate a crash which claimed the lives of four forestry workers in the Bay of Plenty. our people were killed in a crash with a van and a logging truck on Bonisch oad, aingaroa orest, around .30am on Monday. “ our people travelling in the van died at the scene. “ fifth person from the vehicle received moderate in uries,” says Bay of Plenty road policing manager nspector Brent Crowe. “The truck driver was unin ured but shaken.”

e onstant invasion

They are fighting a constan war against a rodent invasion. ongatete orest Pro ect monitors 00 hectares of native bush in the amai Mamaku orest Park.

Since 200 , the group has been working hard trying to keep pest numbers low to boost the amount of native wildlife inhabiting the forest. Chairperson Barbara Mc illivray says despite successfully reducing pests in the area they control with bait, there is a real concern that numbers remain high outside. “We do a control sample to see what level of rats there are outside the forest, and it’s that outside invasion that has very high numbers of rat marks on the tracking tunnel.” She says the group needs additional volunteers to help stay on top of the

problem of outside rats invading. “ t’s a constant invasion, if the rats are breeding and the numbers are increasing, they are going to move into our area. “That’s why we need volunteers.” The group is organising a baiting campaign before bird breeding season, where volunteers will head into the forest and deploy diphacinone blocks across the 1000 station network. “ t’s normal in pest control to take action early to try and control numbers of rats in the forest because the rats are really the problem,” says Barbara. She says well maintained pest control has drastically increased biodiversity within the forest. “ s a result of putting bait out, we have got our rat numbers well down at ongatete. The birds have bounced back.” “We first noticed it with the ort sland obin, we only had one or two at

the beginning of the pro ect and now we have lots of them.” “The rats not only eat the eggs, they eat what the birds feed on – the insects. “ ow the birds are not having to compete with them as much.” Barbara encourages community members to get involved with the ongatete orest Pro ect, saying that there is no better feeling than giving back to nature. “ t is ama ing how good you feel when you are doing something to help nature, to get out in the forest and in the uiet.” The baiting campaign will take place on Saturday, ugust 3 at .30am at aimai Mamaku orest Park. or more information about the event, or to find out how else you can help ou visit www.aongateteforest.org or email events aongateteforest.org Emma Houpt

When The Weekend Sun asks them to hold a sign for a simulated class type photo, the protest goes up. “ o That is not going to happen,” they cry in unison. That’s because we cheekily added an ‘h’ to Wanganui on the sign which reads ‘Whanganui College ld irls”. The ‘h’ in Whanganui has been officially embraced by the college itself, the

1999

cartographers have added the ‘h’ to the maps, and people swim in and row on a river called the Whanganui, also with an ‘h’, which flows through a city called Whanganui, also with an ‘h’. That all adds up to nought for the Tauranga Branch of the Wanganui without an ‘h’ irls College ld irls ssociation. They won’t be moved on the ‘h’ – there was no ‘h’ when they went to school, that’s the way is it is now and that’s the way it shall remain. nd of matter, move on. The association didn’t come looking for a political or cultural stoush, so we will oblige, we shall move on.

ed ation The fact is the local branch of the ld irls ssociation is celebrating 0 years of fellowship this month – 1 0 college alumni, all living in and around Tauranga nowadays, who subscribe to the association ethos that there is nothing more precious than friendship. t’s the strongest and largest branch of the Wanganui irls College ld irls ssociation in the country. They meet twice a year for wine, food and laughter. “Tauranga is such an appealing place to live,” says branch president, Morven eni e. “ t’s also small enough for groups like this to prosper, unlike the larger more impersonal cities.” nd one of the Tauranga old girls, ust one of them, was there on that day in 1 when the local branch of the association was formed. Si decades later, one Murray, now , does not tire of it. “ fter all these years we are still learning new things about ourselves, or others, and hearing and telling new stories.” ndless lovely stories and conversations about what they are doing now, where they are working, if they are married and how many kids. “ ll that sort of thing,” says one. She’s lived in the same house up reerton oad for 0 years – “We built it with a state advances loan after the war – don’t know why am still there ” one was lucky to get to college. She was brought up in the country and attended a small 1 pupil rural school. “When you reached standard si – you ust left school.” t was a time when the prevalent attitude seemed to be that many girls didn’t need more education anyway. But one decided she did. friend was about to start college and to get there she would cycle eight kilometers over a rough country road, with a big hill, to a rail head. There, if they were lucky and the goods train with one carriage was on schedule, they would travel another 20 minutes to school.

Public consultation for Tauranga City Council this week approved its Draft Naming Policy to proceed to formal public consultation in November. The polic ’s purpose is to provide a consistent approach to naming streets, reserves, council community facilities, public places and infrastructure in Tauranga. The draft also looks to encourage locally significant āori names for streets, reserves, community facilities and public places as well as enable greater visibility of mana

whenua connections to Tauranga, says a council spokesperson. “The policy includes the ability to give new and existing streets, reserves, facilities and public places an English and te reo Māori name. This is called dual-naming “Councillors noted that dualnaming and renaming were treated separately by the policy. The intention of the policy is not to give the city’s streets brand new names in replacement of their current ones.”

et cars out, trains in

This land alon the C D aterfront is too valuable to be a car ark sa s a visitin urban lanner.

“Cra y ” says Peter ageyama ga ing over Tauranga’s waterfront carpark. “Cra y, ust cra y.” Perhaps the most valuable piece of land in Tauranga’s entire CB and it’s given over to cars for parking. “That’s almost unconscionable,” says Peter ageyama, author of ‘ ove Where ou ive’ and ‘ or the ove of Cities’. ageyama’s books e plain why we connect emotionally with some places and not others. ight now Peter ageyama, the man who loves big cities, small cities, villages and even hamlets, is standing on The Strand and he’s connecting emotionally he’s shrugging and despairing. “ t ust seems ridiculous that cars get the best view of Tauranga Harbour during the day.” nd freight trains sashaying up and down the waterfront day and night – like so many cities that industrialised their waterfronts last century and are regretting it now.

Passen er trains

But ageyama sees an opportunity for Tauranga. “ f you can figure out how to get passenger traffi back on that railway line you are going to love the fact it runs right into the heart of your downtown.” Peter ageyama is an merican community and economic e pert. He offers fresh perspectives on how councils and citi ens can better engage and create “loveable places” to live, work and play. nd Tauranga, it seems, is eminently loveable, despite locals who bemoan growth pains. “ ight sort of si e,” says ageyama. “ love big cities of course, big cities have a vitality and an energy, but there is something about that mid si ed city that feels more to human scale, it feels more manageable.” nd one of the city’s biggest assets is water. “The relationship your city, and especially your downtown area, has with the water on both sides is very uni ue... it has this charm and character of being the right sort of proportion.” nd ageyama has a simple vision for the waterfront. “More green space. get that maybe you don’t want to sell it for commercial use. reat Turn it into an even more beautiful waterfront park that

goes from one end of the CB to the other. “That would be a showcase kind of piece.” The cars could find a new home. “How many are there Maybe a couple of hundred. am sure there’s capacity in e isting carparks.” nd there’s another on its way, a transport hub in Harington Street, another 0 carparks. People, says ageyama, will complain about parking no matter what.

a e it ort t e visit

Create a vital, interesting destination downtown and ageyama says people will figure a way to get there “as long as the payoff at the end of the ourney is worth it. t’s all good.” The payoff being the social spaces he talks of – places you can fossick and buy – individual home grown shops – places you can eat, drink, stop and reflect and be entertained. n urham Street Peter scans the futuristic fa ade of the new niversity of Waikato building. “That’s an international building, a global building.” nd the millennials studying inside are a resource and the conversation around talent attraction shouldn’t wait until they are newly minted grads. “Hey, once you get that cool degree, you should be thinking of staying here and deploying those talents in Tauranga rather than going off to uckland or leaving the country.” But right now 2000 students will be bringing their own economy to downtown Tauranga. “They may not have too many discretionary dollars but enough to create an effect.” nd, besides there’s the student enthusiasm and energy which will colour up the CB .

an e is ood

ageyama says the university and students are indicative of the changes we are seeing in our city. “Some would say we’re getting rid of the old. Well no We are updating things. There is absolutely room for historical buildings historical buildings tell a certain type of story and tell it really, really well. But, at the same time, he says buildings get tired. “They feel dated and don’t feel in character with who we are and who we are becoming. nd that’s the time for them to maybe come down.”

Spark changes tack over cell tower position Te Puna residents are breathing a sigh of relief now that plans for a cell phone tower on a uiet residential street have been scrapped.

Te una residents ictured here in une ere uick to re ect the ro osal for a cell hone to er on this site. Photo: n e t h n on

The 12 metre tower was to have been erected, by Spark, on the corner of Wallace and Matahiwi d and that was not popular with neighbours. Corporate relations partner rwen ant says the tower will now be built on a site on Snodgrass d but there would also need to be another tower in the area to cope with demand at some stage. “ nother site will be re uired in the future to accommodate the increase in data usage we e pect as the area grows. “Spark is working with the community on suggested sites for this additional future infrastructure. “The Te Puna area has seen unprecedented growth for digital services with community data usage increasing by more than 1000 per cent

in the last three years. Mobile and data connectivity is currently being delivered to Te Puna by an e isting site that is reaching capacity.” ill and ane Chalmers were facing the prospect of having the tower right outside their house, on the grass verge. ill said Spark’s change of mind was “a huge relief”. “ t is a problem that is popping up in all sorts of communities and legislation gives them every right to do it.” The couple were part of a group of

residents in the area who opposed the siting of the tower. The issue featured in The Weekend Sun and Sunlive in une. rwen said they choose their sites based on “providing the best possible coverage to the community”. “Soon the e isting site won’t cope and users will start to e perience issues like dropped calls, loss of connectivity to services and coverage issues. This loss of service has the potential to effect day to day accessibility to services.”

More funding for cancer drugs We all know someone who has gone through the cancer ourney. The thousands that turn out to some of the Bay’s cancer fundraising events show ust how much this disease impacts our lives. The Papamoa ight Walks and Hot Pink Walk, which get bigger year on year, is testament to the support. t our ational Party conference in Christchurch last weekend, our leader Simon Bridges outlined ational’s plan for cancer care. Cancer is the biggest cause of death in ew Zealand. t knows no boundaries and strikes in many forms and everyday 0

ew Zealanders will be diagnosed with the disease. By putting more money behind this disease we can ensure life saving cancer drugs go to those who need them. That’s why we have announced a policy which would invest an e tra 200 million over four years for PH M C to fund cancer drugs. We have committed to introducing a ational Cancer gency, where medical e perts and clinical professionals will deliver better diagnoses, better access and better treatment for cancer sufferers across ew Zealand. The agency will be involved in prevention, screening and

treatment. ew Zealand is a world leader in research and innovation, so the centre will also facilitate research so that in the future we can prevent cancer and treat it more effectively. t will ensure that no matter where you live in ew Zealand you will get the same standard of care. Too often people in regional ew Zealand are disadvantaged because they don’t have access to the same services as those in our biggest cities. ow everyone will have the same ability to get treatment and diagnoses will be made earlier.

Sure, there’s the statutory but still spectacular ice and snow scapes. “Monday, ovember 2 ,1 0, my first camp” writes Peter from a rocky outcrop overlooking a vast white e panse to a craggy range. “We’re 2 00ft above sea level where no one had ever set foot.” tway takes us there with his photo. We share a moment 0 years ago, it reads like yesterday. But then there’s the earthiness of the mundane and the routine – everyday life at this southern most post. The haircuts, the card schools, the baths – yes ory taking a tub with his model battleship. Men do funny things when housebound by perpetual darkness and cold. Baths were a treat – one every ten days after being “house mouse” – the person charged with tidying and cleaning the huts. nd being out in the snow and ice meant the field crews didn’t bathe for 0 days at a time. “There would be a ceremonial burning of underwear when we got back to base.” s a surveyor in a small field party during consecutive seasons tway would e plore and map sections of the virgin Transantarctic Mountains. “We would be entering territory previously untrodden by man.” cept he might ust have traversed the tracks of his heroes, Shackleton, Scott and mundsen. Throughout his work Peter tway would travel by dog team over 1,000 kilometres in three months.

Then for the deadest cuteness factor, a Husky pup after being asleep in a snowstorm for two hours. r for that matter, a human after one hour e posed to minus 0 degrees Celsius.

ocal boat safety gets a financial boost The Bay of Plenty egional Council is going to receive 0,000 towards its ecreational Boating Safety programme. The programme will help fund boat ramp workshops, roadshow presentations clubs, groups, boat shows , college visits, and distribution of promotional material including advice and training of retail staff on life ackets . The grant is one of a number safer boating grants coordinated by Maritime Z. Maritime Z director eith Manch says the purpose of these grants is to improve safety for the over 1. million iwis who get out on the water each year.

The overnment provides the funding for safer boating grants through money collected from the uel cise uty on petrol. proportion of this duty is paid by recreational boaties fueling power boats. Some of this money is provided to Maritime Z and used to support recreational boating safety initiatives including regional programmes focused on promoting safer boating. “Boating is changing and we are seeing big increases in et skis, standup paddleboards and kayaks – we are supporting new, at the beach training for boaties using these small craft,” says eith.

Before moving to owa lanna won two Carrus pen titles at the Tauranga olf Club, was a ydia o Scholarship winner and represented ew Zealand at the ueen Sirikit Cup in 201 . Her outstanding form in 201 came after friend and team mate Celia Bar uin ro amena was stabbed to death last

September while playing golf alone on the Coldwater inks public golf course near owa State niversity. The tragedy hit the team and the entire golfing community hard. Players on the P Tour and from both the S and uropean yder Cup teams wore yellow ribbons in her honour last year. lanna says the senseless attack was difficult to deal with. “ ust being connected to something like that seemed a bit surreal in many ways and last semester found it a bit harder to deal with. t all ust hit me then. “ ou ust want to message her then you realise you can’t do that. She’s not there. “So it became more difficult “We got on really well and used to go on coffee dates and sit down and talk about anything. She would take me clothes shopping and was pretty ama ing.” rom that adversity has come a stronger resilience from lanna to keep moving forward on whatever fairway her golfing path takes her. ne thing she loves doing when she is back in Tauranga is catching up with B P olf staff Chris Mc lpine and Mike Campbell who helped her so much at the start of her golfing odyssey That ability to stay grounded is also a hallmark of ydia o and otorua’s anny ee, two iwi golfers who made their name in the cut and thrust of professional golf in the S .

iwifruit and avocado growers who pack their fruit with MS Progrowers td have banded together to raise 1 , for Western Bay charities including a si figure sum for Waipuna Hospice

The MS Progrowers Charitable Trust was formed last year to support local community organisations and their inaugural grants have ust been announced. rowers voluntarily contributed one or two cents per tray of fruit to the new trust, and the money raised was then matched by MS Progrowers td, doubling the si e of the overall contribution to local charities. “ n recent years the kiwifruit industry has not only recovered from the effects of Psa but has had remarkable earnings growth,” e plains Craig reenlees, oint managing director of MS Progrowers td. “ t is absolutely appropriate to en oy that prosperity given the turbulence in recent years. However, it is also appropriate to acknowledge that at this time when we are doing so well financially, that is not true for all of ew Zealand and many members of our communities re uire help.” Waipuna Hospice will receive 0,000 to help fund night nurse salaries while the Waipuna Hospice oundation will get a further 0,000 towards the long term

development of services. mpowerment Z runs Te Puke’s ood Bank service , will receive 3 ,000 the atikati nnovative Horticulture Trust is being given 10,000 atikati’s Community Centre gets 000 and Te ranui Trust and Police outh evelopment team receive 000 towards its work with at risk youth. The final 10,000 raised will be held in reserve. Waipuna Hospice’s director of marketing and undraising, Sasima Pearce, says her colleagues were “overwhelmed and humbled” by such a large donation. “ t is e tremely generous of those growers at MS Progrowers to donate an amount per tray to us. t is such a progressive idea from a progressive group of people. “We are very e cited about the MS Progrowers Charitable Trust as it builds and grows in years to come.” Sasima says Waipuna’s on call ‘night nurse’ service has become busier in recent years but was an important service to maintain. t allows patients to remain in their own homes and avoid emergency department admissions. “We are also investigating use of these funds towards a new community nurse shift to bridge the period after pm to about midnight,” she says. The 0,000 donation to the Waipuna Hospice oundation will be invested to provide future financial security and ensure the organisation can meet growing

community demands. ndre Hickson, chair of the MS Progrowers Charitable Trust, says the five trustees agreed to focus on two core groups when considering which charities to donate to – general care for all ages and demographics, and then children and families in need. “ ur aim is to assist in strengthening the community and attempting to break cycles,” he says. The charities were chosen based on advice from the corn oundation and charities in atikati and Te Puke were given special attention as that’s where most MS growers live.

oreign house buyers are dropping out of the market n ctober last year the overnment banned the sale of homes to foreign buyers. n the first few months, the sale of ew Zealand properties to foreign owners fell through the floor,

down 1 per cent in the March 201 uarter compared to the year before. The latest figures, released ust last week, show the downward trend is continuing. n fact, they show that more foreigners are selling properties in ew Zealand than buying. n the three months to une, foreigners bought 1 3 properties compared to 33 in the same uarter last year, down per cent. This was 0. per cent of all purchases, down from 2. per cent a year ago. uring the same period they sold 32 properties. This represents a sharp turnaround from the situation in the second uarter of last year, when 111 homes were purchased by overseas buyers and 2 were sold by

overseas owners. conomists agree that the new rules are having a significant impact, especially in uckland, where first home buyers were pretty much shut out of the market. The legislation does strike a balance though, by allowing limited foreign support of new building stock in areas where it is needed. There is still more work to be done, including finding ways to determine how many foreign buyers are ‘hiding’ purchases in companies and trusts. eeping ew Zealand land, h ousing, and strategic assets in iwi hands remains a core ew Zealand irst value. generation of ew Zealanders had given up hope of ever owning their own home but the ban on foreign buyers has restored opportunity for many. We are proud to be driving change which gives hard working ew Zealanders a more secure future.

Back to school in frica The rou of Tauran a residents travellin to en a in e tember. Photo:

group of Tauranga residents are embarking on an e perience of a lifetime in September when they travel to enya for three weeks. The group, led by mma Hodgson, are travelling to the poverty stricken Mahanga illage in West enya, where they will work to rebuild parts of the rk uest School. mma has been involved with the school for about 10 years. previous team who worked at the school put together some temporary structures, however mma now says the school is literally ‘on its last legs’. “ t’s starting to fall down, it’s pretty structurally unsafe,” she says. “We are going to head over in September and start the process of building a permanent, concrete, two storey school structure.” The group formed by getting friends and friends of friends together, as well members of a Tauranga trust which has been formed for the rk uest School. “ couple of other people heard what we were doing and e pressed some interest in going over as well,” says mma. mma, who works as a vet at the Barkes Corner eterinary Hospital, has been involved with rk uest School for more than 10 years. “ round 10 years ago went over and met the guy who founded the school in airobi and he comes from an e ceptionally poor village, who is now a physics lecturer. “He was ust starting the thought process of basically setting up a school in his home village to help get his village out of poverty and thought ‘man, that’s a good idea’, so ’ve stayed in contact with him over the years.” n 201 , mma and her husband travelled to the village to see the school for the first time and she says they fell in love with it. “ ust decided ’d like to take a team over there, thought ‘man, we need to get these kids somewhere safe to go to school’. “ wanted to find some people who are like minded and want to ump on with me, do some fundraising and head over and help the school with some permanent structures.” mma says when travelling over, you often go in with the mindset of wanting to help them, however she always has a big sense of appreciation when

ome of the children in the ahan a illa e. Photo: e returning to ew Zealand. “ ou see the things they have to go through ust to get themselves to primary school it makes you really grateful for what you have, and for me, it really puts life into perspective. “ t’s about doing what we can for people that have so much less.” The fundraising has been the biggest work in progress prior to the trip and as well as building supplies, the group will be providing school uniforms, sports gear as well as note pads and pens for the kids. The other group members heading over to rk uest are ill aine, an ean, eorgia lison, Chris Higgins, Pam obertson and ave obertson. The Tauranga residents set off on their ourney to enya on riday, September 20, and return on riday, ctober 11. mma says because the country is on the e uator, they are e pecting temperatures between 3 and 0 degrees, which will be testing. “We are staying in some bunks in a house in the village, it’s pretty basic, but it makes you appreciate what you do have. “There are four of us that have been before and four that are going for the first time, so it will definitely be an eye opening e perience for those who haven’t done any mission work before.” or more information on the groups trip to rebuild rk uest School or to make a donation, visit the ivealittle page www.givealittle.co.n cause ark uest education Kate Wells

What started off as a small ew Zealand company is now one of the world leaders in trap manufacturing. Sam says one of the best aspects of his ob is that it involves a lot of travel and is incredibly varied with new challenges every day. “ like to look back on what we’ve achieved each year and ’m always impressed at the number of pro ects we’ve established.” Sam enrolled for the two year ew

Zealand iploma in nvironmental Management evel after working on an organic sheep and beef farm. He says his studies lay the groundwork to set him up for a successful career. “ had a pretty good basic toolbo when graduated, which made it easy to ease in to a career. The iploma in nvironmental Management at Toi homai is set up to enable students to earn their diploma and then go into work or to move into the third year of the Bachelor of Science with the niversity of Waikato. f you’re interested in studying towards a career that you love, while having fle ibility and gaining knowledge from tutors with decades of industry e perience, all while you get to en oy the lifestyle benefits of the Bay of Plenty, visit the Toi homai website for more information www.toiohomai.ac.n

Working abroad can provide professionals with valuable e perience and boost their career potential, says recruiting e perts Hays. ver recent years the professional obs market has become increasingly more global, providing workers with more opportunities to work and live abroad. While industries such as oil and gas have seen professionals working outside countries of their birth for some time, other industries such as life sciences, financial services and technology are now following suit. “ conomic potential in emerging markets and skills shortages has led to companies needing to move employees to the countries where their skills

are re uired,” says managing director of Hays in ew Zealand dam Shapley . “This has led to global opportunities for professionals across the world, allowing them to grow their careers by moving abroad and gaining e perience that otherwise wouldn’t have been available to them.” Hays C , listair Co says international mobility is on the rise and employers value adaptable, in uisitive candidates. “Taking a leap of faith to work overseas – or work in a totally unfamiliar environment – will increase your cultural intelligence and your fle ibility and it shows a new employer you are willing to push yourself as opposed to staying permanently in your comfort one.”

rom September 2, customers will need to be 1 years or older to buy energy drinks at Countdown’s 1 0 supermarkets nationwide.

The Weekend Sun

The decision comes in response to growing concerns raised by health leaders about the impact increased consumption of high sugar, highly caffeinated energy drinks is having on ew Zealand children.

drin a e restri tions

The ustralia ew Zealand ood Standard defines an energy drink as a ‘non alcoholic, water based flavoured beverage which contains caffeine and may contain carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins and other substances including other foods for the purpose of enhancing mental performance’. iri Hannifin, Countdown’s general manager corporate affairs, safety and sustainability, says the company has talked with a wide range of health leaders, and the combination of caffeine, sugar, serving si es and the fact that children often consume energy drinks on the way to school was specifically highlighted to them “We’ve talked with a wide range of people about this issue and overwhelmingly, the advice and feedback we received was that when it came to children’s health, restricting the sale of energy drinks would make an important and meaningful impact in an area of high need,” says iri. “ ew Zealand has the third highest obesity rate in the C . nergy drinks are not recommended for children and they already have to carry a warning on the pack. We’re simply choosing to proactively put this

recommendation into effect in our stores and that’s why from September 2 you’ll need to be 1 years or older to buy energy drinks at Countdown.” n a recently published paper, r Simon Thornley found that in ew Zealand, the reduced intake of soft drinks is compensated for by the increase in consumption of uices, and sports and energy drinks. “ applaud Countdown for taking the initiative and making a concrete, positive step toward improving child health,” says r Simon. “The sugar and caffeine in these drinks leads to children getting hooked on them, with rotten teeth and poor engagement in the classroom as predictable conse uences. n age restriction makes sense,” he says. Countdown set health and nutrition targets as part of

its 2020 corporate responsibility programme, which includes giving away more than 0,000 pieces of ree ruit for ids every week reformulating its own brand product range to reduce sugar, salt, fat and remove artificial colours and flavours and rolling out the Health Star ating on own brand products. Currently more than 0 per cent of eligible own brand products carry the Health Star ating with the full range e pected to be completed in 201 . “Countdown has publicly committed to a range of health and nutrition targets, and we’ll continue to work on reformulation and introducing Health Star atings on our own brands so that our customers can make informed and healthy choices in our stores,” says iri.

iwis benefit from lifesaving new hep C treatment The Ministry of Health and PH M C are pleased to see ew Zealanders with hepatitis C and health professionals across the country moving uickly to access the life saving new treatment Maviret. “More than two thousand ew Zealanders with hepatitis C have started on this incredibly beneficial new medicine since it was funded by PH M C in ebruary,” says the Ministry’s deputy irector of Public Health r Harriette Carr. “ t’s really pleasing to see the rapid uptake of this new treatment and comes as we marked World Hepatitis ay earlier this week. “This treatment will restore the health and save the lives of thousands of ew Zealanders and avoid the need for many costly liver transplants. “We want to raise awareness about hepatitis C in ew Zealand and encourage as many people as possible who may be at risk of hepatitis to get tested and get treated.

WORRIED ABOUT A MOLE

“Maviret can potentially cure per cent of people with chronic hepatitis C regardless of the type of hep C virus they have,” says Harriette. “ t can be accessed in the community and prescribing is an easier, shorter and simpler process than for the previous less effective treatments. “Maviret is not a cheap medicine, but the last few months have demonstrated that where the benefits of new medicines to ew Zealanders are clear and substantial, we will move uickly to fund them,” says PH M C’s chief e ecutive Sarah itt. “ encourage anyone who thinks they may have been e posed to hep C to get tested and if necessary, get treated.” The deputy director of the ew Zealand iver Transplant nit, Professor d ane is also e cited with the rapid uptake of the treatment. “This is a great start and unprecedented for a new hepatitis C treatment,” Professor ane says. “ f it can be maintained, then hepatitis C will be eliminated from ew Zealand within the ne t 10 1 years.”

and even baby goats are seeking a temporary home and loving hand. SPC centres are also preparing for the large number of animals they will see over the summer months, known in the animal community as ‘kitten season’, when ueen cats normally give birth to their kittens. SPC foster families play a crucial role in the animal care process and provide love, care and a safe, warm environment for animals in need. They volunteer their time to give animals medicine for an illness, or work with them to become socialised and used to a home environment. ostering involves caring for an animal from two to si weeks and comes at no cost to the foster family. SPC supplies

all food, medicine, bedding and toys to make the animal comfortable while with their foster family. oster families need to have their own transport to bring animals to and from the centre and be available for veterinary appointments. or many people, fostering is a great option for those who can only open their homes on a temporary basis, or if they want to know what it would be like to have a pet live with them full time. “ oster parents are treasured heroes at SPC , as they care for the lives of so many animals in their homes,” says ndrea Midgen, SPC C . “ nimals who are taken in by fosters do e traordinarily well, coming back to us confident and happy, ready to find their forever homes.

nal gland disease in dogs – a real pain in the butt nal gland disease is, unfortunately, a common problem in dogs. But what e actly are anal glands, and why do they become a problem nal glands are small sacs technically called anal sacs located on either side of the anus bottom . The sacs contain scent glands which produce a stinky secretion. When dogs defecate, the pressure on the sacs causes the release of a small amount of secretion. This is used for scent marking and identification purposes and is why dogs sniff each others’ butts n some individuals the sacs don’t empty normally, which can lead to impaction of the sac and significant discomfort. f left untreated, impacted anal sacs can become badly infected and may even rupture. There are several reasons why anal sacs may not empty properly, including obesity,

inflammation e.g. allergic skin disease , poor diet with inade uate fibre, and diarrhoea. Small breed dogs tend to be more prone to anal sac issues. Signs of anal sac disease in dogs include fre uently licking their bottom, scooting their bottom along the ground, difficulty defecating, and a red and sore looking anus. Treatment usually involves a vet emptying the sacs manually. Sometimes the dog may need to be sedated and have the sacs flushed. n rare cases, surgical removal of the sacs is recommended. Some ways to help prevent anal sac disease include maintaining your dog at a healthy weight, feeding good uality food, managing skin allergies, supplementary dietary fibre and regular anal sac checks by your vet.

Today we’re faced with a barrage of choices. We live in a day unthinkable to our ancestors. aily we have choices about almost everything. t wasn’t long ago when was growing up, that about the only bread you could buy was white, unsliced. ow there is white, wholemeal, wheatmeal, sliced or unsliced and do ens of different brands.

ONEVOICE United Prayer and Worship with special guest Tak Bhana,

There is now an emerging problem. People are being crippled by the array of choices. Counsellors are treating people who are overwhelmed and over stressed and ust sick because of the choices they have to make. Their common complaint is ‘ have too many choices and can’t decide what to do. What if make the wrong choice ’ common result for these people is they make poor choices, they

become more dissatisfied with their heir choices, and they become paralysed and don’t make a choice at all. How sad. great man named oshua once said “choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve But as for me and my house, we will serve the ord.” nce that biggest and most important choice is made – who we will worship – we can make more sense of the rest of life’s choices. ocus has a lot to do with making right and wise choices. When our focus is fi ed and we’re committed to a certain pathway – honouring od and His Word – we can say no to choices that might not benefit our focus, and yes to those that will. - Stephen Whitwell, O2 Church

renchman named aniel Hugon was convicted of murder.

uring his trial it was argued that he had an e tra chromosome and that this abnormality might have in some way lead Hugon to be a killer. perts testified that the additional chromosome did not make him a born killer but that it could create behavioural problems. The urors concluded that Hugon was ‘unbalanced from birth’ and therefore should receive a lighter sentence. Hugon’s case is descriptive of all of us. We too have ‘behavioural problems’ and are ‘unbalanced from birth’. The Bible says each one of us has been born with a broken, sinful nature see omans 12 . We all very naturally go astray from od saiah 3 and as

a result are estranged from od omans 3 23 . ur case would be hopeless if it were not for esus Christ. od loved us so much, in spite of who we really are, He sent esus to die for us on the cross. n the cross esus was punished in our place, for our sin, our brokenness. He died, then three days later, rose from the dead, triumphant over both death and sin. ow all who place their faith in him receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The great news is that even after all these years and even after all the evil that man has assaulted his fellow man with, od still has this offer of forgiveness on the table. Will you take Him up on the offer Pastor Greg Burgess, The Orchard Church

The Weekend Sun s e er o u ar guide to What s On in the Bay. Pg THE WEEKEND UN

Bringing the boogie to town Time to celebrate, boogie lovers an Preston is coming to town r should say, an Preston is coming back to town, since the woman they call ustralia’s ueen of Boogie Piano has a long and strong association with Tauranga. ot only was her latest album recorded here, but the man who produced it, The Boatshed’s Studio’s igel Masters, is an’s bass player for this new tour. Playing 1 dates throughout the orth sland, an calls her latest show ‘ Pianos Have nown’. She debuted it in ew Zealand with a March tour, which took her trio through the South sland but didn’t reach the Bay of Plenty. This time an’s filling in the gaps nd, as the name would suggest, the show e plores an’s fascination with and love for that note instrument, the piano. t includes a whole bunch of pro ected images of pianos yes, there are indeed of them and personal stories, many of which involve pianos. Most importantly an will be playing the piano and she is indeed a killer boogie woogie player, one who tours the world and whose skill on the piano is only matched by her dedication.

Dedi ation

That came to the fore a couple of years back when an broke both her wrists. or most of us it would mean a few months of serious inconvenience. The more you think about it, the more things become really, really difficult with a couple of broken wrists. But when your passion and your living involves using those wrists to play a piano, and not in a gentle way, it becomes a much bigger issue. ortunately and ama ingly, an made a complete recovery and was back performing within si months. That’s dedication for you. She was born down south in reymouth and discovered the piano when she was ust a nipper. That led to a five year classical piano degree at uckland niversity. But the life of a concert pianist didn’t appeal and she cut off her hair and moved to Wellington, working in both the ed Mole theatre group and rock bands. Then, despite having a o.1 hit with octor ike our Medicine alongside Harry yon in the band Coup ’ tat,

she decamped to Sydney, playing in piano bars and writing music for films

dne

These days she’s still in Sydney and is constantly touring, playing festivals, concerts and shows around the world, including a recent trip to China, while also writing music for film an T , such as her sister ame aylene

Preston’s recent documentary My ear with Helen. Her latest C , Play t gain an, was recorded last year in Tauranga where an also made her Cool Boogie Woogie album a few years back. s well as igel Masters it also features local drummer an “Beano” ilpin Brilleau , okomo . igel himself has become something of a star recently, fronting okomo’s latest single with a song he wrote called on’t Take My Car. t’s well worth a oogle if you want to see the very funny accompanying video. t’s also on Spotify of course, as is an’s latest album. an Preston’s ‘ Pianos Have nown’ tour hits the 1 th ve Theatre on Saturday, ugust 1 . t’s 2 from www.iticket.co.n . lso check out this week’s competition to win a double pass and a signed C .

Horoscopes ARIES: With one exception, the week ﬁnds you at the right place at the right time and it’s an excellent week for making acquisitions. The exception? You overhear a private conversation and you would be wise not to repeat a word. TAURUS: The stars indicate lots of excitement in your career and you can master numerous new accomplishments, some warnings are necessary. Try not to become overly fond of luxury and avoid shortcuts, especially earlier in the week. GEMINI: Your favourite companion is surprisingly generous while you are becoming more sensible in your own handling of funds. If entertaining, try for a different approach. One caution, be super-tactful with older guests.

LIBRA: Possible ﬁnancial confusion strikes later in the week, so keep all receipts. Your timing is superb on the weekend. Enter contests, ask questions and go hunting for bargains. Your friends stun you with their forthright manner.

CANCER: A mixed week. Friends are difﬁcult to please and you could hear disappointing news about someone you respect. This week you should have signiﬁcant career accomplishments and travel is accented through the weekend.

CAPRICORN: Commitments take more time than anticipated and you could be forced to cancel some engagements. Some of your best ideas are met with an unenthusiastic reaction. Rather than discard them, try reshaping them.

LEO: Expect unusually large demands on your time, with people coming to you for love advice and moral support. In romance, a loved one may seem typically lighthearted. The ﬁnancial picture brightens by the weekend.

AQUARIUS: There could be lots of commotion and motion before the weekend and it seems that you are never doing just one job at a time. This week offers great potential for accomplishments, particularly creative and ﬁnancial ones. PISCES: Featured are long distance communications and some pleasant local travel. Moves are not especially favoured as there could be endless delays. Partnership arrangements are accented. The weekend is a wonderful time for starting an alliance.

VIRGO: You could be disappointed by news of a good friend’s romantic distress and job activities may shift into reverse. Meanwhile, your own friendships ﬂourish. Think about hosting an impromptu gathering.

SCORPIO: You have to give up some of the limelight you have enjoyed lately, but learn to play a supporting role and you will come out a winner. An invitation arrives from someone you don’t know well - accept and enjoy a marvellous time. SAGITTARIUS: You can perform a valuable task by helping friends understand some of their problems. As for your own, a romantic strain is easing but a ﬁnancial dilemma seems more complicated the more you work at it.

Your birthday Though tolerant and loving, you don’t want others to come too close to you. In romance you this week are utterly cautious, easily embarrassed when paid a compliment, but you have the ability to excite, inspire and make the sparks ﬂy.
