Hello everyone … Here we are with June now tapping our heels, where has the year gone? My adventure for May was Water Rafting on the Kaituna River with River Rats. It was awesome fun with plenty of excitement coming down the waterfalls. The water was cooler than a few weeks ago sledging the Kaituna with Kaitiaki Adventures.

CC’s Bay Of Plenty Community News Letter, Phone: 07 5755 181 ... Email: ccsbopcommunitynewsletter@gmail.com (Page 3) CRIME / PRISON HAS EFFECT ON MANY PEOPLE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE Is prison life really working? Take a moment to think and understand inmates and the inside life or supporting an inmate on the inside. The lives and futures of many people are affected in all ways children, wife's, husbands, relations and friends, family pets, finances, and futures. Love, trust relationships, marriages and commitments are tested and hard to hold onto from both the inside and outside life. As a support person for a number of years I am challenged each time entering the prison emotionally, being scanned and watched, inside the barbwire fences, obeying the rules … Its not easy nor pleasant.

Corrections officers live two life's – prison life / outside life . How do correctional staff balance their life in a secure detention facility then walk through the gate as a family man to help their kids with their homework? How can one person be two completely different people each day? How can you remain healthy day in /out balancing lock up and freedom?

How does someone that’s has been locked up for many years stripped of dignity, all responsibilitys, controlled each minute of the day when they will be locked up, let out, when to eat, lights out and no responsibility of accounts/bills and day to day living, be released and be expected to live on the outside again, supporting a family and expected to be a responsible parent coping with the issues most everyday people face.

Don’t get me wrong there are people who need the keys thrown away as we do have some very nasty and brutal people on our land committing shocking despicable crime. But in my view many are thrown in the one big basket. We seem to work on the one big basket with many issues in this country … Some people seem to think if its in the basket it’s dealt with… Is it really? Throw the key away on someone for doing wrong then when they have done their time unlock and set free? … Ok some do courses but a lot don’t . In many cases the X inmate usually ends right back in lock up within a short time as they have re-offended. In some cases it’s just easier to be an inmate and not have to deal with the outside world’s many challenges that every day people have to cope with, for which many on the outside are seeking counselling.

Stress on the outside is hard enough for the people that have freedom.

This is such a huge subject with many avenues to amalgamate together into a satisfactory outcome. Victims so many innocent people become victims of rape, murder, drugs, alcohol, abuse causing injury's that wreck/destroy their lives. How can someone be asked to forgive a person that has raped/murdered or put their child on drugs?

This is a huge ask of people grieving for a loved one. People having to live the rest of their life with the loss of a family member or a family member with brain injury's?

People make mistakes, we are creatures that are supposed to learn from our mistakes. But come on, rape is not a mistake, murder is not a mistakes, robbery/theft is not a mistake, graffiti is not a mistake, abuse is not a mistake we can go on and on. Drugs and alcohol are the problem! Peoples brains bombed out. It is now been said that banning synthetic drugs has dropped medical treatment costs. Yes teens still get their hands on it … why don’t we toughen up again and again when we see it is working.

Look how our young teens consume alcohol it is disgusting they scull bottle after bottle mix their drinks and then act like idiots, fight, yell and smash/throw bottles, spew and pee wherever they are standing … party's out of hand. Do teens understand what pride is these days? Girls staggering drunk, squatting peeing, pashing up, screaming, language half dressed showing the world their valuables and roaming late hours of the night.

TV is full of violence, sex, drugs, prostitution, rape, and murder. PlayStation games kill kill kill beat them up, ram that car, bomb that building...full of violence and many people are happy for their youngsters to play them. If you don’t like that person kill them ...oh but then that person jumps up and fights again. OMG so much fun!

Bali has had the headlines over the trafficking of drugs, it is a known fact you enter with drugs and caught you face the death penalty. Drugs and greed for money and power. This was a topic with many views some for it some against … Bali setting standards for their country to try and keep it free of drugs? Was it right to have people kill people? People sorry for those guys, whom were trafficking … But who's lives did they ruin … how many people and young children were using drugs they trafficked before they were caught. The money they would have made I find it hard that their families didn't know what they were doing … getting married just before the hour I'm sure she will live comfortable…. Here I sit on the fence and find it hard to decide the right answer here…

So what is the answer? … I really don’t know … What we are doing is not working. People are not being held accountable for their crimes. Our laws are far too weak for the today’s world. Is it time to start and set some standards here in New Zealand? A thought maybe we should use the Army more, put the offenders in and train them, and send them to fight for our country/their lives and freedom. I think it would be a good way of making many grow up and respect what freedom really is… interested in your thoughts email ccsbopcommunitynewsletter@gmail.com.

Life on the inside and doing time.

WHEN Poems From The Heart On The Inside. By Georgia Rose I have never known such great despair as each night the sound of the keys locking me in takes away from me any sense of normality in this hideous place.

When every question we have asked doesn’t have the answer we seek, when every dilemma we are in is not solved the way we want, when our greatest time of need we fall flat on our faces with none to help prop us up, when you are stripped of every basic right and reduced to merely a name and a number, when others think you still have too much and lobby to take that as well…

When did humankind ever become so unforgiving as to judge all as one, instead of on merits where deserved?

But not too quick to shout out load and seem too lordly over others?

Just remember, the higher you climb the harder you’ll fall as we all do eventually.

No One Is Perfect Human beings were not born to be perfect.

We were born to learn, to grow, to expand, to love, to create, to enjoy and to see beauty in all things-including ourselves.

Our striving for perfection is a futile endeavour, a waste of time. Evan the most enlightened of us regularly trip and fall.

No one is perfect. ...Susan Jeffers Feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction do not come from striving to be perfect. They do come from the process of using our inner power, beauty and love in a creative, expansive, positive and loving way.

It doesn't get any better than that. ...Susan Jeffers Success is not about goals. Success is about living a full and balanced life in partnership with others to create a joyful feeling of love, contribution, appreciation and abundance … despite how our endeavours may turn out. ...Susan Jeffers If you see your tasks in life as drudgery, then they are drudgery. On the other hand, if you see them as a gift of the Universe coming through you, then your tasks are done in the spirit of love and generosity. What a difference your perception makes! ...Susan Jeffers The word ‘ENOUGH’ can overcome the hunger of our MORE-BETTER-BEST society. ENOUGH implies a sense of fullness. When we say ‘I've had enough’ at the end of a delicious meal, it means we are full and satisfied.

We are not looking for more. When we include thoughts of ENOUGH in the deepest recesses of our being, we can begin to relax and smell the proverbial roses. … Susan Jeffers

This blonde decided one day that she was sick and tired of all those blonde jokes and how all blondes are perceived as stupid. So, she decided to show her husband that blondes really are smart.

While her husband was off at work, she decided that she would paint a couple of rooms in the house. The next day, right after her husband left for work, she got down to the task at hand.

Her husband arrived home at 5:30 and was hit by the distinctive smell of paint. He walked into the living room and found his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat..

He noticed she was wearing a heavy parka and a leather jacket at the same time. He bent over and asked if she was OK. She replied “Yes”.

He asked what she was doing and she replied that she wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are dumb, and she wanted to do it by painting the house..

He then asked her why she had a parka over her leather jacket, and she replied that she was reading the directions on the paint can and it said…

"FOR BEST RESULTS, PUT ON TWO COATS."

Tell me, Johnny. Do you say prayers before Johnny: No, ma’am, I don’t have to. My mom’s a good cook.

eating?

A couple was going out for the evening. The last thing they did was to put the cat out. The taxi arrived, and as the couple walked out of the house, the cat shoots back in. So the husband goes back inside to chase it out.

The wife, not wanting it known that the house would be empty, explained to the taxi driver "He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother."

A few minutes later, the husband got into the taxi and said, "Sorry I took so long, the stupid thing was hiding under the bed and I had to poke

her with a coat hanger to get her to come out!"

When Dad came home he was astonished to see Alec sitting on a horse, writing something. " What on earth are you doing there ?" he asked.

"Well, the teacher told us to write an essay on our favourite animal. That's why I'm here and that's why Susie's sitting in the goldfish bowl !"

SEAT BELT SAFTEY Recently there was a check done to make sure the kids were securely belted into the cars they were travelling in. Every time I hear this I have a mind flash back to something I saw a few years ago. A car being driven very quickly through town, the driver had an interesting addition. A young girl maybe 4 years of age, standing between the front seats with her arms loosely wrapped around the drivers neck‌ I assume her father. Had there been a sudden stop she would have had little chance of survival.

I have spent some time thinking about how this happened. Dad may have had to get somewhere quickly and daughter may have thrown her toys out of the car until Dad got frustrated and relented, and she won. Regardless of how this situation happened, how could it have been prevented? Planning, Planning and Persistence!

Every time a little person gets away with something they are not supposed to it sets precedence, and that can then turn into a habit, and then after too many screaming matches parents give up. The question the parent needs to ask themselves‌..Is my child old enough to understand the consequences of their action? If the answer is no then action needs to be taken by the parent. In this case I wonder if the girl has seen other family members do the same thing, which is not put a seat belt on when they get into a car. If that is the case, parents‌or adults need to address this at the same time.

So let’s get down to an action plan. Firstly regardless of how old the child is they need to be warned that there needs to be changes. Explain any new system to the child and ask them to tell it back to you. As the event draws near that there is going to be changes in (like getting in the car) the child needs to be ‘cued’ that is they need to be told that the event is happening soon and the new desired behaviour needs to be described, sometimes in detail, and supported by maybe a reward or positive words from Mum or Dad. As the event unfolds Mum or Dad needs to have plan B sorted as to ensure that there is compliance. Parents need to keep calm, and stay in control and maybe choose an event where time is not pressing. In this situation, if parents had arranged to go see Granny and had cued the girl and she not got into her seat, maybe the visits to Granny not proceed. Maybe Granny could phone and speak with the little person and ask what happened. The best phrase I know for this is when and then. When you put your seat belt on, Then we can go see Granny. As much as people plan for things to change, parents must remember that they will be challenged by their children, and often! We need to pick our battles and then dig in for the long haul. Children might suddenly get very compliant and then all of a sudden refuse to follow the expected procedure. This is more about power and control and parents need to have plans to counter this behaviour.

Email: ccsbopcommunitynewsletter@gmail.com Phone: 021 501 200 Alcoholism; If you seem to be having trouble with your drinking, or if your drinking had reached the point where it worries you a bit, you may be interested in knowing something about Alcoholics Anonymous and the A.A. program of recovery from alcoholism. Determine, for yourself, whether or not alcohol had truly become a problem for you. And remember that you will always be welcome to join the thousands of men and women in A.A. who have put their drinking problems behind them and now lead "normal" lives of constructive, day-by-day sobriety.

We in A.A. are men and women who have discovered, and admitted, that we cannot control alcohol. A few of us had become derelicts before turning to A.A. for help. Some of us had been hospitalized or jailed. We had committed grave offenses - against society, our families, our employers, and ourselves. Others among us have never been jailed or hospitalized. Nor have we lost jobs or families though drinking.

But we finally came to a point where we realized that alcohol was interfering with normal living. When we discovered that we could not live without alcohol, we, too, sought help through A.A.

Viruses, Trojans and other Malware I’ll use the generic name of “virus” here, however there are various types and categories which are important to anti-virus product makers, but are generally unimportant to the average computer user.

Viruses on your computer can range from a mild annoyance as it slows things down, to total disaster if it deletes your files, or in some cases demands a ransom in order for you to regain access to your computer.

I’m often asked why someone would create a computer virus. And that’s a complicated question as there are many reasons. Sometimes it’s to research how quickly a program can get copied around the internet. To prove to peers that they are a good programmer. An attempt to make money.

Or, in retaliation against someone or something.

It is almost impossible to prevent a virus from trying to get on your computer. So, there are two main steps to take to avoid any issues that may result. First, backup your computer on a regular basis. This is because the process of removing a virus could possibly result in your important files being deleted. The second step is to make sure you are running good virus protection software. Microsoft Security Essentials is a good first step along that path. Various other software like the free AVG or Avast and others, and yearly fee based software like Trend Micro, McAfee and others.

While Windows computers are more prone to viruses, other devices such as Apple Mac, Android smartphones and even iPhones can also suffer from a virus infection. However, that is currently a somewhat rare occurrence.

I can give further advice on anti-virus software, removing viruses from your computer, as well as tips to help avoid the problem.

OLD GRUMPY’S GALLERY……

Happy June everyone… And welcome to Old Grumpy’s Gallery… And thank you for all the good wishes received on Bob’s 65th Birthday… Much appreciated…

Does anyone know the definition of VISUAL POLLUTION ?...

During a conversation with a neighbouring business manager the topic of signage arose… And how difficult it had been for this person to find a business address in Newton Street due to the vast amount of signs and billboards…

This we learned is VISUAL POLLUTION… At Old Grumpy’s Gallery we have a brand of visual pollution that is pleasing on the eye, it helps make us stand out and define exactly what we are about…

This discussion led us to explore not only visual pollution around the world but discover some novel signage and displays on a whole range of retail businesses… Such as “THE HARD WOK CAFÉ”…

CAFÉ”… or “SELLFRIDGES” “SELLFRIDGES at a white goods dealers, “SOFA SO GOOD” at a Furniture store, “JUNK and DISORDELY” at a 2nd hand shop… “SPEX APPEAL” at an Opticians… “BATTERSEA COD’S HOME” outside a fish and chip shop… “ THE TEMPLE OF GROOM” at a pets parlour.. "WINE ME UP" Liquor Store.. "GRATEFUL BREAD" Bakery," ," SURELOCK HOMES" Locksmith,,, “BIG DICK’S HALFWAY INN”….

INN” !!! at a motel and resort… “CURL & DYE” at a hairdressers… And our favourite in a butchers window “DUE TO COMPLAINTS THERE IS NO WINDOW DISPLAY” That’s enough hilarity for now…. What’s happening at Old Grumpy’s Gallery ?

In a nutshell… More of the same….. With lots of choices… Our ever changing range of good quality pre-loved books… over 10,000 new arrivals in the last month… Our huge stocks of much sought after vinyl records… Again 100’s of new titles to choose from…. And don’t forget Bob’s excellent photographic images from around the region…. ( Not visual pollution…!!)

Speaking of which why not take that camera out of the cupboard and enquire about some lessons on how to use your camera with ease….

As always we invite you to visit Old Grumpy’s Gallery…. Come in and browse, take a seat, relax enjoy a refreshing coffee or beverage and a delicious slice…

We look forward to greeting you….

Don’t engage in arguments, stay neutral. .Cancer This is an important time to de-stress after a heavy workload at work. Go to the gym and get back into meditation. Inaction is not an option.

Libra You are about to change your life. Everything is supporting your career.

Focus on your projects and wow everyone. Keep your intimate relationships steady with a nice trip or holiday. Great time to develop self-actualization.

Sagittarius Money is flying out the window. Be honest and get on with the job. Pay attention to lazy employees. Prepare for a dynamic change in events in your love life. You are an optimist and the world lives in unison with you..

Capricorn Your project can result in a brilliant outcome. It is up to you. Evaluate your strengths. Chill out in love, be open and sincere. Heal any mistrust. You have a way of getting people’s backs up.

Aquarius Awesome time for financial positioning. Get involved in social media for attention in business. Good times are coming to use minimal resources for maximum profit. Focus on your health. You are a charismatic lover, aren’t you?

Naughty charmer.

At work, expect a battle during the last two weeks of June. Spot the troublemakers. Pretend you lost the battle and aim to win the war. Lovers are an easy victory this month. Being noble and wise is an attractive draw card.

“Good Grief” Time…… how long does grief take?

There are plenty of expectations about this, most of which aren’t particularly helpful to those grieving. Let’s check out some of the common ‘myths’ about this.

Myth: A grieving person should be over their grief after two weeks.

Reality: There is no definite timeline for grief; it may take weeks, months, years or a lifetime to process a loss. ………..How long depends on the person, the situation and the type of loss.

Myth: The grieving person should definitely be "over it" within two months.

Reality: There is no definite timeline for grief.

Myth: Grief declines over time in a steadily decreasing fashion.

Reality: Grief is more like a roller coaster ride with up times and down times.

Myth: Once over a loss, the grief is never experienced again.

Reality: A place, a smell, a song, or a special date may trigger the old memories. Grief may be experienced again.

Myth: Grief ends after the funeral.

Reality: Many people believe that life should return to normal after the funeral service. However, this may be the start of the .grieving ………..process as the shock and numbness give way to the reality of the loss.

Myth: Grief eventually ends.

Reality: In time most people learn to live with the loss.

(Taken from http://dying.about.com/od/lossgrief/a/griefmyths_3.htm ) Grief Support Services is a local agency offering free counselling to individuals and families affected by loss and grief. We also run an After Suicide Support Group.

CC’s Bay Of Plenty Community News Letter, Phone: 021 501 200... Email: ccsbopcommunitynewsletter@gmail.com (Page 13) FAMILY VIOLENCE CAN HARM YOUR CHILD FOR LIFE Babies and infants are precious. Everything babies and toddlers experience affects their brains forever. The way you treat our children counts – and it counts long term. Children are not tough. They are not too young to notice.

They do not just get over it.

Love care and attention will help children to become happy and stable adults.

Shouting, hitting, violence, abuse and ignoring your child have a very bad effect on your baby’s and young child’s brain development. This can cause problems later – at school; as teenagers; as adults.

Parenting can be tough but one of the most important things you can do is provide a safe home, calm and free from violence for your children. If you get early help the risk of the children suffering long term effects will be less.

To get help talk to someone you trust.

A support agency that helps family's.

Jigsaw (child protection agency) 0800 228 737 Child, youth and family 0508 326 459 Preventing violence in the home helpline 0508 384 357 Plunket your doctor or health worker, women's refuge, citizens advice …. bureau, Police family violence officer or a good friend

It’s never too late to change the life of a child IS IT VIOLENCE? You might be experiencing domestic violence if your partner: Calls you names, insults you or puts you down Prevents you from going to work or school Stops you from seeing family members or friends Tries to control how you spend money, where you go or what you wear Acts jealous or possessive or constantly accuses you of being unfaithful Gets angry when drinking alcohol or using drugs Threatens you with violence or a weapon Hits, kicks, shoves, slaps, chokes or otherwise hurts you, your children or your pets Forces you to have sex or engage in sexual acts against your will Blames you for his or her violent behaviour or tells you that you deserve it

Men are also at risk of violence and abuse.

It’s harder for a man to admit that he is under abuse. It is degrading him as the male provider in the household.

If you think your work mate or friend is showing signs of abuse …

ABUSE IS NOT OK IT IS OK TO ASK FOR HELP DON’T WAIT TILL IT’s TOO LATE EMERGENCY 111 IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING

Here are a few photos of the Rafting on the Kaituna River with River Rats. If you enjoy a bit of adventure and water give this ago. There are River Rats and Kaitiaki Adventures in Rotorua either one I would recommend.

Drift Kartz in Rotorua is a bit of a fun place for those who like to test their driving skills sledging round the track. The track has a special coat on it to help make your kart slide.

A good way to get the feeling of sliding and seeing if you can correct it in a safe environment. Get a gang together and give it a go. By the way I crashed due to using my mobile phone to video Lol Information centres have all info you need for these activitys

Phone: 07 578 4064 or www.autocraftnz.com WHAT IS BRAKE FLUID? Brake fluid is the hydraulic oil used throughout your vehicle to transfer pressure to the brakes.

WHY CHANGE THE BRAKE FLUID? Brake fluid is hydroscopic fluid meaning that it absorbs moisture. Moisture is created from the heating/cooling effects of normal brake use, also humidity from the atmosphere. The moisture causes rusting and pitting of internal parts, which leads to unnecessary replacement costs. Under severe braking excess, moisture can cause the fluid to boil leading to brake failure.

WHEN IS IT NECESSARY TO CHANGE BRAKE FLUID? We test the moisture content using a Hydrometer. Once the fluid has an excess of 3% moisture, we will recommend replacing it. This should be checked annually and normally requires changing every 2 years.

WILL I NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE IN MY BRAKES? If the system is well maintained and the fluid has been replaced on a regular bases, in most cases the brakes will feel the same … If the brake fluid is over due for replacement, we usually find that the brake pedal is firmer with less travel and less pedal pressure is required to stop the vehicle.

Family Works

Northern has an excellent range of resources for our families to draw on. Our social workers and counsellors run programmes such as Parenting Through Separation, Incredible Years Parenting Programme as well as WAVe and Restore for women and children who have experienced family violence. Our facilities are excellent, with smaller rooms for individual counselling or large rooms for the biggest families. We have a great place to work.

To top it off, we love what we do. As Family Workers, we get real satisfaction from getting alongside our clients and journeying with them as they make changes, learn, laugh, grieve and celebrate their lives. The nature of our work gives us the chance to work with children. Being at a different stage in life means they don't process things quite the same way as adults. So we need to be different is our approach. Which means playtime! Kids learn through play, so we use felts and paper, puppets, toy families, cards, sand tray therapy, therapeutic videos... The list goes on and on.………

The therapeutic journey can be hard work. But it is worthwhile and can also be a lot of fun.

Tornado Tornadoes are not something that people tend to worry about too much living in New Zealand, but there are a few tornadoes seen here each year.

Mostly these are small scale and they don’t do too much damage. Probably the biggest one in recent history was in the Hamilton suburb of Frankton on 25 August 1948 which caused 3 deaths and 12 injuries as well as damaged 150 houses and 50 businesses.………………………

On the 13th May a tornado swept through parts of Mount Maunganui overnight. 11 houses and six commercial properties reported damage and there was extensive damage to Baypark Stadium. With quick responses by emergency management teams and key infrastructure providers by midnight all roads were open and power was back on. Club Mount Maunganui was open as a Welfare Centre until just before 1am.

Things we can do to be better prepared for such high winds, including: Before a landslide

Make sure you have a Household Emergency Kit ready Keep trees and shrubs trimmed and remove branches if they look damaged Remove any loose debris in your outdoor area

If you think a tornado is about the happen Take shelter immediately, such as in a basement or under furniture. If you are outside lie down flat away from trees and protect your head Don’t stay in or under a car

After a tornado Check for injuries, check if your neighbours need any assistance Report broken utility lines to appropriate authorities If your property or contents are damaged take notes and photographs when it is safe to do so
