Beach safety warning Hot temperatures and beaches full of holidaymakers along the Tauranga coastline are keeping lifeguards at Omanu, Mount Maunganui and Pāpāmoa surf lifesaving clubs busy every day.

Pāpāmoa Surf Lifesaving Club patrol captain Ryan Hohneck, pictured, says lifeguards are carrying out countless preventative actions to keep people out of trouble.

During the peak holiday season Pāpāmoa lifeguards were observing more than 1000 people on the beach and several hundred in the water per day.

There have been more than 100 rescues in the region so far this summer, according to Eastern Region surf lifesaving manager Chaz Gibbons-Campbell.

The three most serious incidents occurred within five days

of each other near Omanu Beach, where a man died and two other men were taken to hospital in a critical condition.

In light of this, Chaz is urging people to swim at a patrolled location.

“I encourage people to come and swim where the lifeguards are, so at least we can see you.”

Swimming in alphabet soup As we all sit around waiting for Omicron to wash ashore and studiously study its effects overseas, it’s time to ask the big questions.

Zeta, Eta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda and Mu are all floating around but are just variants of interest rather than variants of concern.

The Weekend BOP Times Where do theseSun variants getCombined their Circulation circulation 69,062 circulation of NZME 10,162 names from? I mean Omicron sounds like it was given to a baby transformer by its illiterate parents – a bit like Prynce Combined BOP Times, Katikati Advertiser or Justyss. andand Te Puke Times circulation is p: 07 578 0030 The answer turns out to be simple, than HALF with only 32,138 in total. e: ads@thesun.co.nz the reasoning quite logical. Itsless proper name is B.1.1.529, which doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.

The World Health Organisation WHO? - decided in late 2020 to stop calling the variants by their country of Sigma not stigma origin to avoid stigmatising the country Interestingly, Nu wasn’t considered it was first discovered in. because it would be too easily confused Instead, it uses letters of the Greek with ‘new’. alphabet to name variants of concern So, the Omicron variant should have or interest, for simplicity and to been called Xi, but I imagine Chinese avoid xenophobia. president Xi Jinping would not have been amused. The WHO decided against it because it is a very common name and didn’t meet its xenophobia criteria.

Delta is a name too, but on reflection the only one I could think of was that Australian singer. Her debut album was Innocent Eyes, and she doesn’t really have a mass murderer vibe about her, so I guess they thought it was okay.

So, what have we got to look forward to?

Well, we have Pi, Rho, Sigma, Tau, Upsilon, Phi, Chi, Psi and the grand finale is Omega.

Once we are through all of the Greek letters, the WHO says it is considering Alpha from the UK was designated sticking with the Greek theme on December 18, 2020, and Beta from and going with the names of South Africa got its name on the same star constellations. day, then Gamma from Brazil, followed There are 88 officially recognised by the famous Delta variant from India. constellation names and, of course, the Omicron means little ‘o’ in the Greek 12 most popular ones of; Aries, Taurus, alphabet: “o – mikron”.

Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra,

Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces.

My star sign is Cancer, so I can say from personal experience that having an affliction named after you is a bit unsettling.

Hopefully they stick with the other ones like Bootes or Chamaeleon or Delphinus. Corona has already been done to death, so we won’t go there.

What’s in a name?

While researching the subject of names, I stumbled across a list of New Zealand baby names that were rejected by the Registrar General of Births Deaths and Marriages last year.

It was a bit unexciting to be honest – names can be rejected because they are offensive or misleading.

Most of the 78 names that were rejected were because they referred to a title like King or Prince.

Bad spelling is not a reason for rejecting names, although if I was called Registrar General, I would change that rule.

I postponed a haircut once in South Dunedin because the place with the shortest queue was called Tiz Only Cutz. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Some badly spelled names like ToviaJustyss and Royalt were rejected - not on the grounds of poor spelling, but because they inferred a status or title.

Prynce and Pryncess were rejected too, once again not because of bad spelling, while the very unimaginative Roman numeral name III got the thumbsdown, presumably because it was just plain stupid.

I guess they could name their eleventh child XI and get away with it. daniel@thesun.co.nz

Community urged to save more water City water tanks in Oropi. Photo: John Borren.

Tauranga City Council is urging residents and visitors to follow the Water Watchers Plan and save more water.

Despite the sprinkler ban already in place, flow levels of streams that provide us with water are at record lows due to the particularly hot and dry period of weather we are experiencing.

With little rain in sight, council officials are asking everyone to play their part to conserve water.

Usually, during the summer period, the city experiences a 30 per cent spike in water use with people using more outdoors.

The city is rapidly reaching that number, which is unsustainable this summer due to low stream levels says water services manager Peter Bahrs.

“After three dry summers, and the hot weather we have been experiencing this season, the flow level in the streams that the city draws its water supply from are at record lows,” says Peter.

“We want to thank those who are playing their part and following the Water Watchers Plan to help reduce their water use. We need everyone to follow the plan as a minimum, and to save more water wherever they can.

“We’re trying to prevent the need to introduce

tougher restrictions, but if people don’t follow the plan and our stream levels become critical, we may have to do so.”

In the event that the demand does not decrease and stabilise, council will need to implement their emergency plan which will result in more severe outdoor water restrictions, including a hose ban.

In November 2021, council introduced its Water Watchers Plan which replaced traditional outdoor watering restrictions with a year-round plan to help maintain the city’s water supply and provide everyone with clarity about how they can use water at home, at work and in the community.

As part of the plan, sprinklers are banned completely from December to March, but handheld hoses with a trigger nozzle are allowed for a maximum of an hour between 7-10pm.

Other outdoor water uses, such as filling pools as well as washing houses and cars, are also restricted.

Council is currently building a new water intake and treatment plant alongside the Waiāri Stream, near Te Puke, which is expected to be ready near the end of 2022.

Other potential water sources in the region are also being investigated.

The excitement that is Hungerball Picture a six-sided inflatable arena where you can play soccer, hockey and other ball games with up to 12 people either on your feet or in a wheelchair. That’s Hungerball.

When Patrice Carmignani first came across Hungerball a year ago, he knew it was perfect for Tauranga kids of all ages.

The sports teacher, originally from France, has been working in New Zealand as a physical therapist for 16 years. He’s also run before and after school programmes, and is excited to be introducing the Bay of Plenty to Hungerball.

“I met Andu Lordache, who created Hungerball in Auckland about a year ago,” says Patrice. “The aim of it is to encourage children to play a game with a high level of fitness.”

When Andu was growing up as a 12-year-old in Romania’s small, crowded and vibrant urban spaces,

he had the idea of a street soccer game whereby kids played all-on-all, with the last one standing winning.

Some 15 years later while visiting his parents’ place, he was pleasantly surprised to see local kids were still playing the game.

The concept was further incubated for 20 years until finally coming into being in New Zealand in 2015. From its inception, Hungerball has expanded into other parts of the world, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and Venezuela.

The rules are simple. Inside the inflatable arena are six goalies each defending their own goal, and there is one ball and no hands. Each player can score in any of the other five goals.

Kids aged 5-13 years old can try it out on Monday, January 24, from 2:30-4:30pm at Trustpower Arena.

Hungerball will take up one of six courts, with plenty of other activities available. To book visit: www.bayactive.co.nz. The cost is $10 per child.

Sue Jamieson is looking forward to a slice of the action next week.

Serving up great tennis At 70 years old, Sue Jamieson doesn’t consider herself a senior - especially when it comes to tennis.

There are players 20 years older than her still competing at a national level.

The Tauranga local is one of 230 players competing in the 2022 Tennis Seniors National Championships from January 26-30.

The tournament, for players aged between 30 and 90, is being contested across four Tauranga venues, with its headquarters at Ōtūmoetai Tennis Club.

Sue has been playing tennis for more than 30 years, and started by chance after moving to Ratapiko in her mid 30s.

The mother of five was asked to make up a team, picked up a racket and hasn’t put it down since.

She has stuck with the game “for exercise, meeting new people and going to different places”.

“Also, for the challenge to see how far you could go,” says Sue. And she has gone far; Sue has ranked in the top 10 internationally in singles, doubles and mixed tennis in previous years.

“My highlight was finishing 2017 as number one in the mixed doubles.” The player also has 20 titles to her name, but she isn’t boastful about it.

“Other people have got 30, 40 or 50 titles.

“It’s all relative.”

When asked if she’s a tennis legend, Sue chuckles.

“Well I’m old, if that qualifies?” she says.

“As you do better, you want to keep getting better.

“The age is going up, so you’ve got to keep trying to get better, to keep up.”

The septuagenarian is looking forward to next week’s tournament and will play in all three categories -singles, doubles and mixed.

Her main aim is to survive the heat, but like many other “senior” players Sue also enjoys the camaraderie.

“I’m not going out to try and beat everyone,” she says.

“You go out, you do your best and what will be will be. If they’re better then they win.”

Tournament organiser Dawn Morrison says contenders are coming from across the country to the International Tennis Federation sanctioned competition.

“There’s plenty of tennis to be had, and it should be a good event,” she says.

“They’re a very enthusiastic lot, the seniors. Some die-hards will play in all three categories.”

Sue is one of those die-hards, and although she says it’s time to slow down, with many more matches to be contested it doesn’t seem likely.

Bouncing Boston Meet Boston, a happy, energetic young boy looking for his forever home.

Boston loves to walk and play and his absolute favourite toy is anything that squeaks! He has a lot of energy so will need one to two walks per day to help burn off all that excitement. As he is so bouncy, we recommend that he doesn’t go to a home with young children as he may knock them over in his excitement.

He has a health condition that requires a bit more care is taken with hygiene, but he is such a happy, loving boy that we know you won’t regret adding him to your family!

Allan has collected plenty of medals over the years.

Meet the marathon man The Auckland Marathon is celebrating its 30th anniversary this Sunday, and one Pāpāmoa resident has more attachment to the event than most.

Allan Shadbolt ran in the first Auckland Marathon to include the iconic Harbour Bridge crossing back in 1992. This year, he will be competing in his eighth event at the age of 73.

As he recalls, the 1992 event was a trial run, with a waterfront marathon event previously taking place since 1936.

It is the inclusion of the Harbour Bridge which separates the current event from the original - a structure which holds extra significance for Allan.

“I walked over it when they opened it in 1959,” says Allan, recounting his trip across the iconic flyover at just 11-years-old.

“I have flown over it and been in a boat under it as well, so when the opportunity to run over it came I thought I had to do it.”

Despite his clear proficiency as a runner, Allan is a late bloomer. It was not until 1979, in his early 30s, that he decided to start pounding the tarmac, running his first marathon in Rotorua.

“My father-in-law at the time was doing his first

Quality blinds

marathon and I think he was 50 or at least close to 50,” says Allan.

“So I thought if an old guy like that – well, what I thought was an old guy at the time - can do it, I should give it a go.”

Since then Allan has been hard to stop.

He still runs five-to-six times a week when in marathon training mode, varying from long, slow runs to more high-tempo track training at Tauranga Domain.

Whilst he might have started as a novice in his early 30s, his longevity has seen Allan become one of the best in his field.

“Believe it or not, I have actually done more and more marathons as I have got older.”

“I have managed to keep my fitness up and my pace. Now, as there are less and less runners in my age group, it has put me in the frontrunners.”

When Allan turned 60 he had an ambition to match his first ever time from 1992 - three hours and 15 minutes.

“I did 3.22, which for 16 years later I thought was pretty good,” he beams. “When I turned 70 I ran it again and did it in 3.51, so I won my age group. I was pretty pleased with that.”

So what does his wife, Sheryn, think of his marathon efforts?

“Well, sometimes she thinks I am crazy,” Allan jokes. “But she supports me well.” Mathew Nash

Swim at patrolled locations King tides, increased surf activity from tropical cyclones and outgoing tides during the hottest part of the day are contributing factors to the huge number of rescues lifeguards in the region have carried out this summer.

In the week ending Sunday, January 16, there were 13 rescues of note in the Western Bay of Plenty and 44 assists as lifeguards helped people back to safety, says Eastern Region surf lifesaving manager Chaz Gibbons-Campbell.

The week culminated in large swells from Cyclone Cody. Beaches were ‘red flagged’, with people asked to stay out of the water because of the tsunami warning after underwater volcano Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai erupted on Saturday.

The red flags started to come down on Monday as individual surf clubs assessed the conditions, but the danger remains says Chaz “The risky time for us is actually when the surf gets a bit smaller - that sort of half-a-meter to a meter swell - because there’s still a lot of water moving around,” he says.

“This causes a lot of rips along the coast.

“That's when we urge caution. We ask to people to check the conditions and find a patrolled beach.”

Chaz says the majority of rescues last week were outside of flagged areas.

The importance of swimming at a patrolled beach was also highlighted by three major water incidents that occurred near Omanu Beach during the holiday period.

A man died and two men were taken to

hospital in a critical condition in three separate water incidents between January 4 and January 8.

Chaz is imploring people to swim at a patrolled location, especially as two of the critical incidents occurred in Arataki, where it can take lifeguards up to 30 minutes to patrol there in a buggy.

“If you're not going to swim at a patrolled location, please make sure you're swimming within your limits.”

Some of the lifeguards involved in the three rescues at Omanu Surf Lifesaving Club are “pretty shaken up”, he says.

All three men required CPR after being removed from the water, which was a first for some of the guards says Chaz.

Ambulance staff who attended the incidents returned to the club to explain things to the team from a medical perspective which really helped, says the lifesaving manger.

Surf Life Saving New Zealand provides support to active and current members and their families through Benestar, a counselling and wellbeing provider.

“We’ve also got a fantastic peer support program, which sees fellow lifeguards come in after a critical incident and debrief the lifeguards,” says Chaz.

Patrolled locations in the Western Bay of Plenty are Waihī Beach, Bowentown, Mount Maunganui, Tay Street, Omanu Beach, Pāpāmoa Beach, Pāpāmoa East and Pukehina.

To check if a beach near you is patrolled, visit: www.safeswim.org.nz Chaz recommends going to the beach with friends so you can keep an eye on each other, assessing the conditions and looking out for rip currents.

Alisha Evans Pāpāmoa lifeguard Ryan Hohneck says the guards aim to prevent rescues through education.

Pumped for healthy habits

Marvellous Murphy

Murphy is a two-year-old Catahoula cross. He is microchipped, desexed and fully vaccinated.

He is incredibly smart, food driven and learns fast, but he also unlearns very quickly.

He knows how to sit and stay but needs work on his recall and socialising.

Murphy is an indoor dog at the moment, but he would thrive in a spacious environment.

He needs one or two good sprints a day and then he’s happy to lounge in the sun.

Murphy can be a little reactive, is a very fast runner and would be perfect for agility training.

Western Bay of Plenty children have started the New Year on the right foot, with new kicks and healthy habits.

Students at Katikati Primary took part in the Zespri Young and Healthy Virtual Adventure before Christmas and were given a new pair of sports shoes to set them on their way.

The 56 pupils joined 20,000 primary school students from across New Zealand, including 37 other Bay of Plenty schools, to participate in the five-week programme.

During the virtual adventure they gained points for healthy habits like drinking water, eating fruit and vegetables and reducing screen time.

Each child created their own avatar to represent themselves on the adventure. As small daily actions were taken in the real world, their class team progressed through the adventure, visiting various countries virtually including Japan, China and Greece.

They were also cheered on by Tauranga local and Black Caps captain Kane Williamson, rugby star Ardie Savea, hockey Olympian Samantha Charlton and former Silver Ferns captain Ameliaranne Ekenasio.

The children’s efforts saw them decrease leisure screen time by 62 per cent. Some 80 per cent of participants ate more fruit and vegetables, while 65 per cent reported their sleep quality had improved.

Programme founder Kim Harvey says mental wellbeing was a key focus for 2021’s adventure, during a year marred by lockdown.

“Some of our classes were doing daily Zoom check-ins for exercise and mindfulness,” she says.

“Plus, I was thrilled to hear that so many students convinced their whānau to participate in the adventure too, and that they supported them throughout the journey.”

Kim is delighted with the results, which highlight the importance of focusing on the wellbeing of young New Zealanders during disrupted classroom learning, but she’s calling for more to be done to improve children’s health.

“Children noticed feeling different when taking these small daily actions, providing greater awareness of positive choices to help themselves feel better.

“This is vital for both their mental and physical wellbeing and, critically, it makes it more likely for them to carry these habits into adulthood.”

“We’re so pleased to have helped support another 20,000 tamariki through the Zespri Young and Healthy Virtual Adventure this year, and to help make a real difference to the physical health and mental wellbeing of tamariki and their whānau,” says Zespri CEO Dan Mathieson.

“In a disrupted year for tamariki and their teachers, it’s fantastic to hear how our young people have embraced the adventure as well as the new, healthy habits they’ve picked up along the journey.”

Attentions now turn to this year, and the 2022 adventure is open for applications. Schools and students interested in joining the waiting list should visit: www.youngandhealthy.org.nz

“It has everything: great characters, high drama, a big ensemble cast where everyone has a moment to shine, and some humour thrown in for good measure,” says Liam.

“But it’s the overarching social commentary that elevates this play and makes it a timeless classic.”

Before deliberations in the murder case begin, the 12 men take a short break after filing into a stuffy room.

They gather around a long table to begin discussions about the case.

The defendant, a young man, is accused of killing his father and, after

a preliminary vote, all but one of the jurors presume he is guilty. Juror number eight is the only one who feels differently and, because they must come to a unanimous decision, the debate begins.

They heatedly discuss the known facts of the case, and little by little the personalities, opinions and biases of each juror become evident.

Subsequent votes are taken, and each time there are less and less who still believe the defendant is guilty.

President of 16th Ave Theatre, Heather Graham, says she knew Liam had wanted to drive 12 Angry Men for a long time.

“When he suggested it to me again last year, it seemed like the right time to say ‘let’s do it’,” says Heather.

“Although this play depicts attitudes and biases from the 1950s, sadly the topic still feels relevant.”

12 Angry Men is being performed every night except Monday and Tuesday at 16th Ave Theatre from January 21 to January 29.

Sam Allen and Ally Drury are fixing Humpty Dumpty.

Humpty on the mend Sam Allen and Ally Drury are fixing Humpty Dumpty.

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men may not be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again, but artists Sam Allen and Ally Drury are busy mending one of Tauranga’s much-loved icons after it was vandalised in early December.

The pair certainly have the skills - both are resident artists at The Incubator Creative Hub and both are pursuing careers in visual art. They’re also individually well-known for painting bold, eye-catching murals.

Located in Tauranga’s Memorial Park, a Humpty Dumpty statue has been part of the park’s playground since 1959.

“The statue has been seriously damaged,” says Tauranga City Council community services general manager Gareth Wallis.

“It looks like someone has taken a sledgehammer to it. Most of Humpty’s right arm has been reduced to dust, and his head is badly chipped as well.”

Gareth wasn’t sure if it could be mended, but put out a call for expert craftspeople, sculptors or concrete workers to repair the damage to the arm and body and for an artist to repaint the statue.

“It’s very disappointing, as all vandalism is,” says Gareth. “I remember Humpty from when I was a kid myself.”

As soon as they saw poor Humpty’s rotten dilemma, Incubator Creative Hub director Simone Anderson knew they could hatch a plan to put him back together again.

“The Incubator Creative Hub has never had a challenge like this before,” says Simone.

“Given there’s a good connection between eggs and incubators, we

immediately knew we were up for the important responsibility to fix Humpty.”

Sam and Ally have been working on site, with safety netting in place around the statue as it’s too tricky to move it without risking further damage.

“We’ve completed the first part of the repair,” says Sam. “Now we need to wait a few weeks for it to cure properly before painting it.”

Council’s spaces and places director, Paul Dunphy, is thrilled to see the support that the community has sent Humpty’s way and is looking forward to seeing the Memorial Park mainstay mended.

“We’re so happy that our Incubator whānau will be helping return Humpty to the community,” says Paul.

Humpty Dumpty is expected to have his new face and arm painted and be fully restored by early February.

70 years of Ōmokoroa’s farming families Fish leaping into boats, transporting cream by horse and cart, haymaking in the 40s, fancy dress parties, socials and dances - it all comes to life in a newlypublished book on the history of Ōmokoroa.

One thing is clear on reading Ōmokoroa Farming Families 1900 to 1970: the Western Bay suburb was, and still is, a caring community of generous civic-minded people.

The rich tapestry of the lives of the farming families has been beautifully portrayed thanks to a team effort,

support from the Ōmokoroa Centre Trust and contributions of photos, recollections and many interviews.

Researched, collated, compiled and edited by Maureen and Norm Bruning, Valerie and Jerry Hale and Christine Wright for the Ōmokoroa History Group, the 336-page book is brimming with colour photos and packed with memories, information and thoughts about farming life on the peninsula.

Originally, Ōmokoroa covered the area from the Waipapa River to the Te Puna River, including both the Ōmokoroa and Huharua peninsulas separated by the Mangawhai estuary right back to the Old Highway, which still exists.

Place names changed, with Huharua peninsula having different names at different times. It is now commonly known as Plummer’s Point.

The book follows on from an earlier title on Ōmokoroa written by Jenny Woods and updated

by Colin Pettigrew. The foreword, by Western Bay Mayor Garry Webber, also recommends reading the 2010 Waitangi Tribunal report titled Tauranga Moana 1886 – 2006 Volume 1, to gain further insight into the area’s history - particularly pre-European.

Dedicated to Jocelyn Hicks, who alongside Colin was co-founder of the Ōmokoroa History Group in 2008, this book on farming families was initiated by Jocelyn who sadly passed away in November 2020.

“Jenny’s book covered the first European settlers to Ōmokoroa,” says Maureen. “Jocelyn’s thought was to capture the stories of the settlers who came after that to work the land.”

A piece written by Jocelyn on Ōmokoroa dairy farming history in 2010 has been used as the preface.

“Jocelyn was passionate about recording Ōmokoroa’s farming and social history.”

At the book’s core are farming stories from 23 contributions. The front cover photograph, by Alf Rendell, shows the peninsula in 1956, while the back cover is an aerial photo of Ōmokoroa from 2017.

Chapters cover cream carriers from konaki to tanker, World War One and Two servicemen, haymaking in the 1940s, country women, school histories and the life of a country teacher, country stores, the postal service, butchers – every aspect of life seems to be included.

Colin Pettigrew’s extensive photographic archives, as well as Tauranga City Library photos and historical archives, have been well utilised.

Information and data has also been sourced from school history books, jubilee books and previous historians.

Written in chronological order, from farming families in the 1890s right up to the 1970s when many farms were being converted into orchards or subdivisions, the chapters are accompanied by a timeline that extends from 1877 to 2021, which shows there is only one dairy farm remaining.

There’s also a map of both peninsulas, with approximate farm locations showing where people farmed which will be of interest to today’s property owners. The book is priced at $45. To purchase a copy email: bruning.farm@gmail.com Rosalie Liddle Crawford

Conservation and concerts collide A Pāpāmoa woman has combined her love of nature and music by organising a series of gigs at Te Puna Quarry Park.

Amber McNicol was inspired to start the Creative Arts Summer Series after studying in Wellington

and being influenced by the Botanic Gardens’ summer concerts.

“I just really enjoy music and nature,” she says. “The two go hand-in-hand and complement one another.”

The three Friday night concerts are in the park’s stunning amphitheatre from 6.30-8.30pm.

Amber McNicol has organised the Creative Arts Summer Series.

“The whole idea behind it was to create a space for people to enjoy nature and to enjoy the amphitheatre,” says Amber.

“The other part of it was to give up-and-coming local musicians a chance to express themselves and have a bit more practice in front of an audience, in a calm beautiful setting.”

Tonight’s artists are Ayla Wesley, Dizzie, Tom Ashe and Ashleigh Yates.

On January 28, StellaVision, Astro Soul and Davey Beige will be filling the quarry with soulful sounds.

Admission is a minimum $5 koha, with proceeds going to the Te Puna Quarry Park Society for maintenance and conservation.

Part of Amber’s reasoning for choosing the park as a venue is to highlight its beauty.

“I’m getting everyone else around Tauranga to be aware that there’s this amazing space and gardens, around 20 minutes out of town.”

The first concert was last Friday and the 23-year-old says it went really well.

“We had a really cool turn out on Friday night and it was super magic.

“It’s been amazing connecting with so many people and getting in touch with the creative scene here in Tauranga.”

It’s a “passion project” for the event organiser, whose dream is to create a street festival like the Wellington festival CubaDupa.

The series is on January 21 and 28 from 6.30pm at Te Puna Quarry Park.

Being a guarantor and debt “I agreed to be a family member’s guarantor but they left the country without paying off their debt! Is there anything I can do to avoid paying it?”

When you are someone’s guarantor for a loan or credit purchase, it means that you will take responsibility for the debt if the borrower does not.

As guarantor, it will be difficult for you to avoid liability for repaying the debt, unless you were able to limit your liability, or the lender did not fulfil their obligations to you regarding the loan (eg: regarding disclosure).

Getting money from your family member (the debtor) could be very difficult if they have left the country.

Review your guarantor agreement to see what options you have and seek legal advice as soon as you are asked to pay.

If you think the credit contact is oppressive, try discussing the matter with the lender. If this does not resolve the matter and you are in dispute with the lender, you can get help by contacting the financial disputes resolution scheme that they are a member of. If you are not

confident about doing this, you can ask a financial mentor or Tauranga CAB for help.

There is more information on the Consumer Protection website. For more information, visit: www.cab.org.nz, email: tauranga@cab.org.nz or call: 07 578 1592.

Spending time enjoying the summer I would like to firstly take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy New Year.

I hope you all had the opportunity to spend time with your families and friends and some time to relax over the summer period.

The weather has been amazing and I’m just so grateful to live in this beautiful city.

We stayed at home over Christmas and New Year because, as I say to people, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

I also hope that our local businesses, cafes and restaurants have had a profitable summer period with the increase in visitors to our region.

My thoughts this week have been with our Tongan neighbours and their family and friends here in Tauranga and across New Zealand, after the devastating volcanic eruption and subsequent tsunami which hit the small island nation.

To everyone in our Pasifika community, our thoughts and support are with you. As our government moved swiftly to support Tonga, it was a reminder of the special relationship New Zealand has with our Pacific neighbours.

Did you know that in our moment of need in 2010, in the wake of the Christchurch earthquakes, that Tonga, one of the Pacific’s

poorest nations, raised a massive NZ$705,000 for the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal in a single Saturday radio-thon! Just incredible.

While we are enjoying our brilliant summer and enjoying our freedom with low numbers of Covid cases in the community at present, the news from overseas about the extremely rapid spread of the Omicron variant is very concerning, and a stark reminder that we must remain vigilant.

It has been reassuring to see people following the rules, wearing masks, scanning in and presenting their vaccine passes when required. Everyone’s hard work is so appreciated. Our vaccination programme continues at pace with booster shots available and, from last Monday, children aged five-to-11 are able to be immunised against Covid.

The Covid-19 vaccine used for children has a lower dose and smaller volume than the adult vaccine and is administered using a smaller needle.

To be fully immunised against Covid-19 a child needs to get two doses of the vaccine, usually given at least eight weeks apart.

Getting vaccinated now is a great way to help

protect tamariki before they go back to school. While children may have milder symptoms, some will still get very sick and end up in hospital if they do get Covid-19.

Getting vaccinated also helps to prevent them from passing it on to more vulnerable members of the whānau, like babies and elderly family members. This is a parent’s choice, and it’s important to get the information you need to make that choice.

Parents who have questions about the paediatric vaccine should seek further information from their health professional, or from Unite Against Covid-19. They can also talk to a trained advisor on the Covid Vaccination Healthline: 0800 28 29 26.

It is not a question of if, but when Omicron makes its way into our communities and we Labour List MP must be as well prepared For appointments and and protected as we assistance please phone: possibly can be.

Getting back into work mode Happy New Year. It’s great to be back at work, with 2022 already well underway for many of us.

Thank you to all of the people who kept working throughout the summer break, providing warm hospitality to our visitors and to locals enjoying stay-cations.

Each summer our region is a drawcard for domestic tourists and I appreciate the effort that goes in to keeping our cafes, restaurants, pubs, shops, galleries and other visitor attractions running.

There have been greater stresses to businesses and their staff than in previous years thanks to Covid-19 requirements around mask wearing, pass scanning and hand sanitising.

Masks are no fun at all in hot weather, but thank you to everyone who wears one for our safety and theirs.

In this ever-changing Covid landscape it’s going to be another year of challenges for many in our community, and my team and I are available as always to help constituents

find their way through difficulties with bureaucracy or to provide advice where possible.

I’ll be holding a series of public meetings in the coming months and I’m looking forward to connecting with more of the community throughout the Bay of Plenty electorate.

Meetings will be advertised via: www.toddmuller.co.nz when dates and locations are confirmed.

Our city has some exciting projects on the horizon, and I hope that 2022 is the year that central government addresses the infrastructure needs to support these. I’m especially keen to see plans for the Belk Road and Te Okuroa Drive roading upgrades, so that progress for housing and other developments can get underway.

The needs of New Zealand’s fastestgrowing city must be treated with the same urgency as larger cities, and I’ll continue to advocate strongly for this in Wellington.

I hope you have a great weekend, and perhaps I’ll see you at one of the local markets if you’re out and about.

Start your language journey in the Bay Mount Maunganui’s Bay Learning Academy has been helping students break through language barriers and gain confidence through language for a decade.

This year, the academy will celebrate their 10-year anniversary of helping people gain competence in general English, Spanish and Te Reo Māori, as well as NZQA certificates in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and Teaching English to Children and Speakers of Other Languages.

By offering small classes, where each student gets individual attention to fulfil their language goals, Bay Learning Academy manager Liz Signal says smaller classrooms benefit teacher attention as well as the development of relationships with other students.

“It’s much faster learning, and

The dos and don’ts of cleansing your skin For something so apparently simple, there is a lot you can get wrong when it comes to cleansing your face each day.

At the beginning of a new year, let’s make sure this most basic daily habit is supporting beautiful skin, not working against it. Let me introduce you to three key cleansing dos and don’ts.

Firstly, don’t ever use foaming cleansers. The active ingredient is sodium laurel sulphate, which strips away the protective upper layer of your skin. This leaves your skin vulnerable to the ageing effects of environmental pollutants. Don’t be fooled by that squeaky clean feeling!

Instead, use gentle, creamy cleansers that support the skin barrier. One of our most popular cleansers is Janesce Rose Petal Cleanser - a softening, soothing cleanser for all skin types that smells amazing.

Secondly, don’t cleanse your face in the morning. Over-cleansing

also weakens the skin barrier and your skin simply doesn’t need cleansing after resting on your pillow overnight. In the morning, simply dampen your skin with a warm, soft cloth before applying your other skincare products.

And thirdly, don’t skip your evening cleanse. If you go to bed wearing makeup, over time your lashes will become brittle and you will have trouble with blackheads and congested skin.

You can avoid these pitfalls with a regular evening cleansing routine where you cleanse your skin twice. The first cleanse removes make-up and the grime and dust of the day. The second is the one that deep cleanses your skin.

For more information see the advertisement on this page.

Oral hygiene products, paired with visits to a dental hygienist, will keep your teeth clean and healthy, but implementing a routine can seem overwhelming.

To help out, here are my favourite ways to keep teeth clean.

Electric toothbrushes are a great tool. The Oral-B Genius 9000 uses advanced technology and different functions to clean your teeth the way dentists recommend.

Mouthwashes are also handy, keeping breath fresh

and combating acid attacks from sugar overload. My favourite is Dr Hisham’s Alkaline pre-brushing Mouth Rinse. This mouthwash balances your mouth’s ecosystem, cleans stains, whitens teeth and fights plaque. Part of Dr Hisham’s holistic oral care range, it’s also made locally.

Water flossers are also extremely effective, giving your teeth a quick, easy and thorough clean.

Although these products help keep teeth clean at home, visiting a dental hygienist is important.

Dental hygienists conduct thorough cleans, treat inflammation and disease, remove stains, provide oral hygiene training, conduct fresh breath treatments, give dietary advice, whiten teeth and provide regular maintenance, helping you walk away with a gleaming smile.

Sunburn season is here in the Bay It is the season for getting outdoors, and tanning is a familiar occurrence for most Kiwis.

The familiar feel of warm sunshine on our skin also holds ultraviolet radiation.

It is this that causes DNA damage in skin cells and leads to the skin protecting itself by tanning.

It also causes accelerated ageing of the skin, with thinning and wrinkling of the damaged skin.

The first thing we notice after being in the sun long enough to cause a sun burn is redness that shows three-tosix hours after exposure. It reaches a peak at 12-to-24 hours and usually subsides at 72 hours. The redness is caused by

inflammation which, in turn, causes damage to the skin.

Treatments for sunburn can help to relieve skin discomfort. You should stay out of the sun until your skin redness and pain resolve. You can take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, either by mouth or by applying these as an ointment to burnt skin. These medications are especially helpful if you take them as soon as you notice pain.

For mild sunburns, there are a number of products available to relieve pain, including cool compresses, aloe-based lotions and lotions or sprays with a local

anaesthetic. However, these products do not reduce the long-term risks of sunburn (skin cancer).

People with severe sunburn can also have heat stroke - when your body temperature is extremely high - which can cause fever, headache, confusion, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision and fainting.

If you have any of these problems, you should seek medical advice.

Sunburns cause cancer. If you have been sunburnt, please have your skin checked and ask about treatments that will lower your risk of future cancers.

Keeping the glow going without the sun Happy New Year! I hope you are all feeling as refreshed, relaxed and ready for 2022 as we are.

It’s a long and hot summer this year, so I hope you have been using excellent skin protection for physical and chemical elements, including antioxidants for repair.

Have you noticed that the combination of sun intensity, wind and using face masks has been playing havoc with our skin? Many of you no doubt feel that your skin is congested with a dull sallow appearance and pimples/pustule/blocked pores.

Tranquillo can help you with these issues, with customised deep cleaning facials that nourish your skin and leave it radiant. Do hold off on more advanced intense peels until the cooler months though, because your skin is going through a lot right now.

Another summer-friendly option is derma-planing

if you have that ‘peach fuzz’ Vellus hair growth. Your skin will have an amazing smooth texture afterwards and as a bonus, your skincare actives will penetrate much more effectively, providing a better result overall.

Consider your skincare regime and what products you use to boost your radiance in this hot and dry weather. Currently we have sunscreen and sweat on our skin, so adjust accordingly for a deeper cleanse in your routine. We also suggest swapping your moisturiser to a lighter version with less nourishment and higher antioxidants (such as Vitamin C) to repair any UV radiation.

If it all sounds a bit too complicated, call or pop in to see us and we can guide you on the perfect skincare for your skin. Glow all summer with Tranquillo Beauty Clinic!

Plenty of work on the roads this summer Photo: Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.

As people continue their holiday travel plans or are returning back to work, they will notice road contractors out in force taking advantage of the good weather and advancing significant maintenance programmes across the Bay of Plenty and Waikato state highway network.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and its contractors are completing an ambitious programme to improve the safety and resilience of the network, and whilst delays are expected, many considerations have to be made for how to complete these important works.

“Waka Kotahi monitors the weather forecast closely, and sites and timings will change at short notice,” says Roger Brady, Bay of Plenty system manager, maintenance and operations.

“We are making the most of the summer weather and before schools go back.

“Our key focus is to keep people using the roads and our contractor crews safe. While this can mean there are last minute changes to our maintenance programmes, we provide as much up-to-date information as we can.

“There will be other work sites across the network not mentioned below, although we are keen to provide advance notice of some of the more disruptive works.”

Ongoing roadworks for the Western Bay of Plenty are as follows: SH2 Takitimu Drive/Waihī Road overbridge: A 500m section of SH2 Takitimu Drive under the Waihī Road overbridge is reduced to one lane in each direction until approximately the end of January, and the Waihī Road/Takitimu Drive on-ramp and off-ramp (Koromiko Street) is closed with detours in place.

SH2 Tauranga Eastern Link Toll Road: The eastbound lanes between Pāpāmoa and Paengaroa will be closed between 6am and 1pm on Saturday, January 22, as part of the cycle route for the Mount Festival of Multisport. The alternative route for motorists during this time will be via the Te Puke Highway.

SH2 Waihī to Ōmokoroa: Safety improvement works are back underway with four active sites between Athenree Road and Tanners Point Road, Rea Road/Tetley Road intersection and Lund Road to Sargent Drive, as well as resealing sites which will be carried out at night.

“Our first meet will be at my workshop. It will start with a meet and greet and then a cruise, finishing in a coffee and cake stop somewhere.”

Wayne says there are no costs to come along or to be involved.

“It’s purely for BMW owners and

enthusiasts to get together with likeminded people and enjoy their cars. Anyone who doesn’t own a BMW, but would enjoy taking a look, is welcome to come along too.

The Weekend Sun’s ever popular guide to ‘What’s On’ in the Bay.

Avocados, bypasses, Sir Dave and a dog Let’s start in un-bypassed and unlikely-to-ever-be-bypassed Katikati.

People must be getting sick of this.

Katikati is a beautiful town. Some towns aren’t. Some have shop-fronts and rundown chippies still waiting for an upgrade from the 70s. Not Katikati. Katikati is as lovely as a well-tended garden.

And, sadly, it also very regularly resembles a traffic jam. Any holiday weekend, even a decent sized event

The most recent reason is that the Waikato Expressway will siphon off enough traffic to clear the Katikati route. This is based on data from five years ago and all I can say is - who knows?

It seems pretty unlikely to me, but what can you do? On the bright side, the Expressway is due to be finished this year so we’re about to find out. Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets...

Oh, and while we’re on Katikati, despite having to cancel its Twilight Concerts this year, the Avocado Food and Wine Festival went ahead with a simply fantastic event.

It made me reflect again that I often prefer the imperfect honesty of a local recording to the bland gloss of much commercial product.

John has able help from a band including guitarist Danik Sygrove, Gareth Wallis (bass) and Alfred Newton (keyboards) as well as several other Stanleys, and proves to be a very good singer and storyteller.

Being only religiously inclined towards Dudeism I was a little lost by the opening tale of St Francis, but I’m hooked on the second track, Blue’s Song.

After recent events in Tonga it seems very relevant. I’ll condense the full story which John tells in the CD booklet...

Air show braced for landing The Weekend Sun is giving away one family pass for the Dawn Raid 2022 Tauranga Air Show for one lucky reader who can tell us what plane will be doing scenic flights throughout the day for attendees.

Enter online at: www.sunlive.co.nz under the competition section.

Entries must be received by January 25.

The event features static and flying aviation displays, food stalls and children’s entertainment at Tauranga City Airport.

Aviation displays featuring a range of aircraft and gliders will fill the skies on January 30 as the Classics of the Sky Tauranga City Air Show takes flight.

Flying over the city’s airport once again, the bi-annual event features static and flying aviation displays from classic, sports and military aircraft, as well as food stalls and children’s entertainment at Tauranga City Airport.

The air show has been gracing our skies for more than a decade now, with the event catering to people of all ages.

This year’s Dawn Raid 2022 will see people young and old line up along the fence line to watch the skies.

On the ground, assisting with airfield defence, more than 80 classic cars will be on display as part of the Bay of Plenty Mustang Owners Club.

Classic Flyers sales and marketing manager, Cory Tyler, says the day will be filled with lots of aerobatics.

“Everyone will be ‘oohing and aahing’ and there will also be DC-3 scenic flights throughout the day,” says Cory.

“We are also doing a special for $149, where you receive one seated DC3 ticket plus a family pass to the show.”

Gates open at 7:30am, with the air show commencing at 8:30am. Bring along a sun umbrella and have brekkie and/or some lunch.

Entry costs $30 for adults and $15 for children, while under-fives can attend free of charge.

A family ticket (two adults and up to three children) is $80.

Pre-sale tickets are available now via Eventfinda, and vaccine passports will be required as a part of the Covid-19 protection framework.

Getting to grips with technology

The Tauranga Seniornet Club celebrated 25 years of working with seniors in our Tauranga community in 2021.

You can learn how to use a computer (Apple/Android), tablets, iPads, smartphones and TVs, laptops and

updating Windows systems, as well as sorting and saving important documents and filing into folders.

Searching the internet is also covered, as is joining Senior Hangouts for interesting information about an amazing range of topics.

“We have practical sessions on internet banking to enable you to bank this way,” says Tauranga Senior Net chairperson Jocelyn Hosie.

“We can also help you get all the updates for Covid recording on your phones, teach you how to use Zoom, Skype or WhatsApp to keep in touch with family anywhere and send them photos.

“You can also make photo books to keep a record of Coaches Jocelyn Hosie and Dot Old. those special times, write

Taking a closer, cinematic look at Diana In his new film Spencer, it would appear director Pablo Larraín has done it again.

The movie follows 2016’s Jackie another story of a woman depicted in an environment where the image of someone like Diana (Kristen Stewart) has to be stripped away, and where the clothes themselves become like a prison of everyday life.

This is easily Stewart’s most successful, soulful, heartbreaking performance, where the little tics she sometimes (arguably many times) has serves this character 100 per cent.

Everyone around Diana - save for Sally Hawkins’ Maggie - is trying to

You cringe because so much of this is about behaviour - that for all of her mental and psychosomatic fragility, this Diana is far more recognisable as a human being than any of these glowering royals.

Churches Active In Our Community What’s happened to the ‘happy ending’ people?

We are ‘happy ending people’. It’s not okay if the movie’s main character dies or if someone we love dies.

Few of us enjoy movies lacking a happy ending. However, surprisingly and sadly, many of us do not want a happy ending for ourselves, seeming content with the grave being our ending.

It makes me wonder.

What’s happened to the ‘happy ending’ people?

Isn’t it very strange that many of us have a reluctance to explore the possibility of life not having a sad ending? We’d rather blot out the thought or resign ourselves to our doom rather than seeking the One who doesn’t want us to have a sad ending.

The contradiction continues at funerals where the ‘happy ending’

people show glimmers of their true heart.

Whilst not believing in or caring much for God, they suddenly morph into people declaring the deceased is now in a better place or looking down on us. This is despite the deceased also showing little or no regard for God during their lives.

Of course, by then, any real hope for the deceased has faded.

Sadly, it seems we’ve been blinded and seduced into contradiction by material things and earthly pleasures.

I suggest these strange contradictions also point to the existence of an arch-deceiver.

Further, they point to the truth of the scripture which says God has put eternity in our hearts.

You can have a happy ending, indeed no ending at all.

Seek, and you shall find!

David Kidd, Church of God’s Love.
