Summers Coming...Shape Up I was going to wake up early and go jogging, but lucky for me my toes voted against me 10 to 1. -Randy Glasbergen -

Cruise Ship Dates

The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck! -unknownI joined a health club on an exercise special, I spent about $300 every month and haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to show up?

Only eat things that have been broken into pieces; that way, all the calories fall out. –unknownI gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting my pantyhose on fire. Just didn't have the finance to keep replacing them.–unknownMy gym teacher told me to touch my toes. I said, "I don't have that kind of relationship with my feet. Can I just wave?"

If God had wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees. –unknownI do have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

My body has become totally out of shape, so I got my doctors permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I bent, twisted, jumped up and down and perspired for an hour, but by the time I got my leotard on, the class had ended. –unknown-

The roads in town are for everyone. We should expect pedestrians and cyclists.

About one third of crashes are caused by SPEEDING If a child steps out 45 metres away and the vehicle is travelling at 60km/h by the time the alert driver reacts and brakes, the car will still be travelling at 44km/h when the child is hit.

There is a one in three chance that the child will die. ►If a vehicle hits a person at 50km/h, the risk of death is 40% ►If a vehicle hits a person at 60km/h, the risk of death is 70% ►If a vehicle hits a person at 70km/h, the risk of death is 96%

CC’s Bay Of Plenty Community News Letter, Phone: 07 5755 181 ... Email: ccsbopcommunitynewsletter@gmail.com (Page 6) FAMILY VIOLENCE CAN HARM YOUR CHILD FOR LIFE Babies and infants are precious. Everything babies and toddlers experience affects their brains forever. The way you treat your children counts – and it counts long term. Children are not tough. They are not too young to notice. They do not just get over it.

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

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

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

A support agency that helps family's.

Foot Care is a necessity for all Women and Men of all ages.

I am a Registered Nurse who has done her training for foot care and has been doing it for eleven years and I believe the consultation should be affordable and enjoyable.

There is nothing more painful when the toes and feet need care and you are unable to reach them.

My Clinics take the appointments and I am at the clinics every two weeks.

The New Zealand teenage fertility rate is the second highest in the OECD countries, with a predicted increase. So how do we as a nation respond to this?

Unfortunately the public attitude towards teenage pregnancy has a disabling effect on the lives of young mothers and their children. This attitude creates more negative outcomes than necessary. With support in place teenage parenthood can be a positive opportunity for young women and men. Improved personal ambition, a greater sense of responsibility, stability and motivation can all be positive outcomes for teenage parents. We all know the saying it takes a village to raise a child; therefore I encourage our response as a nation to be a positive one. For us to think about what we have to offer to inspire these young people and our future leaders.

Flexible, with Reasonable Ph: 07 579 9930 Cell: 027 630 8568 USB-C I’m sure you are all aware of USB sticks/thumb-drives/etc. They are handy devices to move stuff between computers or to use for backups.

Up till recently there were two connector types. The familiar rectangular connector and a square-ish connector which is mainly used on printers. Now on the 2015 Apple Macbook, and most likely on other laptops, there is a new USB-C connector. It has many advantages over the old connector, but is a different shape so old devices don’t fit. Thankfully you can buy adapters that allow old USB drives to use the USB-C connector.

One of the main advantages of USB-C is that you can plug it in either way around. No more trying to plug it in only to realise you have it upside down. Another advantage, which Apple is using, is that you can charge the laptop using the USB-C port (you couldn’t do that before).

USB memory sticks are starting to come out with both connectors on them. They cost a little bit more, but are really handy if you use different computers with different connectors.

I can give further advice on USB-C and how it might work for you.

Give me a call (07-579-9930 or see my ad for other contact details).

Aries You have plenty of energy but tend to over play your leadership role and expect everyone else to be as fanatic as you with your interests. Prioritize and empathize with your partner’s point of view. Perhaps take him or her to that place they have always wanted to go - at last.

Taurus Yawn! A calm month not requiring that sudden rush to the head. No thrills and no frills. So…relax on the couch but be positive because your partner could do with a nice pick me up. Maybe some new jewellery might do the trick.

Gemini Yes! You are an amazing communicator but you are a bit pushy for feed-back sometimes. You thrive on sorting unfinished business, don’t you? Expect new opportunities at work or maybe a new job offer but don’t take too long to decide. You know what’s at stake.

Cancer It is going to go well for you this month as long as you use your willpower to make it happen. This is a fortunate time to make allies at work. Listen to others, they have great ideas. Expect interference with plans at home though.

Go with the flow if you can.

Leo There will be no significant conflicts this month. You will achieve your goals and be outstanding in your workplace. Your diplomacy pays off so it is better that you don’t delay solving family issues. You are a shining star even if you are a little unusual in your approach.

Virgo Your mind is behaving differently, so beware of the downward spiral. You will be strapped for cash and someone will try to deceive you – so watch out! Solve that personal problem and be understanding if you can.

Libra This isn’t the month to give up, this is the month to fight back. Make ultimatums. Challenge your opponents at work. However, being fair is more your style in personal relationships so be clear about what you want to appease your true nature.

Scorpio Your life might be about to make an epic change for the better – especially at work. Your love prospects are looking good too. Watch the moody tendencies of others. You are good at monitoring emotions anyway, aren’t you?

Sagittarius Surprises abound! This is a stunning time for you. You are on a roll. You will work fast and make quick decisions by trusting yourself. Yes! New activities are on the horizon too in your love life because you are smart. You enjoy being in the moment.

Capricorn You are particularly good at solving problems. You are capable of analysing the situation at work and sometimes find an unusual solution. Be diplomatic with loved ones. Even a coffee and cream cake will go down well.

Aquarius Trust in your own path in life and don’t be persuaded to take risks in adventures that take you off course. Someone will create a dilemma causing you to change your priorities. There will be an unexpected bright surprise.

Pisces You continue with your surge of energy and feel very powerful. So be active and get on with it. Focus love and attention on your darlings. If single, a new beginning is just about to ignite.

Here's a neat way to turn family favourites - Wattie's hashbrowns, Wattie's Condensed Vegetable Soup - and some beef mince into a fabulous pie.

Ingredients 1-2 Tbsp oil 1 onion, peeled and diced 1 tsp crushed garlic 250g mushrooms, wiped and sliced 500g lean beef mince 420g can Wattie's Condensed Vegetable Soup 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley pepper 500g box Wattie's frozen Hash Browns Topping ½ cup fresh white breadcrumbs ½ cup grated Cheese Method Heat the oil in a frying pan, gently fry onion and garlic until softened, add the mushrooms and fry until lightly browned.

In a bowl, combine lean beef mince, Wattie's Condensed Vegetable Soup , parsley, cooked onion mixture and season with pepper.

Place Wattie's frozen Hash Browns in a single layer, in a shallow 2 litre capacity lasagne-style dish. Spread beef mixture evenly over the hash browns, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and cheese.

Cook at 190°C for about 50-60 minutes or until cooked through and very hot.

PARTY SAFE Contacts: Always have emergency numbers with you. Parents, Friends, Emergency number 111, Taxi numbers.

Always let family know where you are and who you are with.

Drink: Don’t drink and drive… make sure you have a sober driver or order a taxi. Don’t get in a car with someone that has been drinking. Make sure you have money in case you need a taxi.

ID: Always carry your ID so in a case of emergency you can be identified and family contacted if needed. Keep your ID safe.

Mobile Phone: Make sure your mobile phone is fully charged … put your ID detail on your phone, Keep your mobile on you at all times in case you need it.

Drink: Monitor your drink intake. Intoxication puts you in a vulnerable place for danger (disputes, rape, Alcatraz lockup) Don’t make an idiot of yourself that you can’t remember and regret. Carry some morals with you while out having fun. don't scull or mix your drinks.

Groups: You are far more safe by staying in groups or with a friend. Take extra care if out on your own.

Spiking Drinks: Buy your own drink. Don’t leave your drink un-attended!!! Keep your drink in sight at all. times and know who is around you. Sharing your drink can be a danger.

(Don’t think it can’t happen to you)

Pet Disaster Survival Kit Taking care of our pets in an emergency is really important, as they can rarely care for themselves. Creating a pet disaster survival kit can help to make sure your animal is safe in the event of a disaster. Here are some important things to consider: Emergency contact list – include details for SPCA, local council, vet and animal centres Carry box for your animal Copies of important information – vaccination card, vet record, photo of pet (helps identification if needed) Essential supplies - Bottled water, dry food, plastic bags and paper towels Ample blankets/bedding and treats Collar and large name tag (including animal’s name, address and phone number) First aid kit – bandages, iodine, first aid cream, absorbent cotton, sharp scissors, etc) “Animals Inside” sticker – available from the SPCA DON’T BE THE ONE WHO REGRETS YOUR ACTION BY LEAVING OTHERS GRIEVING Think about PEOPLE Children, Mums, Dads, Friends

Every single injury and death caused by drunk driving is totally preventable. There are still far too many such preventable accidents.

Unfortunately, in spite of all the warnings, advice, TV Ads, road signs, alcohol-impaired driving remains a serious problem that tragically effects many victims, families and friends. DON’T DRINK & DRIVE.

November 05th GuyFawkes Fire works season

From the time that fireworks go on sale bulk buys are made with many people storing them up for occasion's throughout the year. One now has to relate to the fireworks season as they are set off for weeks and months of the year not just the one week.

A ban letting them off any day except GuyFawkes night should be in place so that they can be enjoyed and finished with. This would make it better for everyone and their properties and the safety of all animals.

In many cases people have to hope that their neighbours don’t burn their house down with the stupidity that people display. Fireworks, alcohol and drugs don’t mix. Along with all hours of the night.

Over the years there has been so many accidents and fires related to the fireworks. Emergency services risking their life putting fires out and the Emergency department dealing with burns … costing the ratepayers.

For all those pet lovers November brings the problem of terrified animals stressed to the point of having to drug them. For the animals this time of year is frightening. WHY should animals have to be drugged???

The human race seems to show in many ways the poor respect they have for animals ...the cruelty, poor care, killings and disrespect. The human race has a lot to answer for. Animals have rights just as we do. Animals hurt just as we do. Animals have hearts just the same as we do.

I have no problem with controlled firework displays for enjoyment. Displays are beautiful and I think cheaper in the long run. Risks are lesser which also cuts the cost of emergency/hospital services. This also will keep control on the time/dates ... people will not be disturbed all hours of the night, for weeks and months.

I don’t understand how families/people can afford the fireworks and yet be on the bones of their butt struggling to pay their bills and on benefits.

Fireworks are expensive and you totally have nothing once the sparkler goes out and the cracker bang/rockets gone off.

Waste of dollars to people who can’t afford to burn it up.

For me CONTROLED DISPLAYS … no sales to the public. Many problems solved.

CC’s Bay Of Plenty Community News Letter, Phone: 021 501 200 ... Email: ccsbopcommunitynewsletter@gmail.com (Page 12) It takes a village to raise a child In August this year the Commissioner for Children, Russell Wills released his first annual report on the state of care report for 2015. In terms of the words ‘care’ means those that are in the care of the state, or as more commonly known being looking after by CYF’s.

At the time the usual suspects in the media and in politics made a fuss and lots of noise, and the next day or two moved onto the next ‘scandal’ which attacked the Government.

For those that did not wade through the 58 page document it said many things about how care is delivered and how at times CYF’s need to make changes. However it said little that people in the field didn’t already know. Dr Wills said one or two things I wish to point out.

Firstly he did not level any criticism at any individual within the CYF’s structure, as the report said there are many overworked social workers dealing with impossible caseloads and sadly, at times, belligerent parents who are reluctant to make changes in the life of their family.

Some figures for you, CYF’s received 63,000 reports of concern in a year and of those 43,000 of those were appraised as needing further action. Of those actions reports, 16,000 were found to be substantiated abuse situations, however this does not mean that children are uplifted from their home, for it is at this stage that CYF’s staff have to keep making judgement calls and work even harder for their money as they try and guide the family and the situation back to safer places where children’s lives are improved. Usually it is only when these attempts fail does the issue of taking a child into ‘care’ is considered. In a year 2,000 children enter care, with 1,700 leaving care each year bring a net increase of about 300 each year.

Secondly the report pointed out the situation that often CYF’s is sometimes the agency left to ‘pick up the pieces’ and is not supported as well as it could be by other Government departments, NGO’s and in my view, society at large. The report calls for greater support from all concerned, as well as a greater focus on the child.

So what does that mean for you and I on this journey of life raising children. Just maybe it’s time for all of us to get over this idea that we are great parents and we know it all, for the record I don’t know much…my kids are teaching me along the way! Yes it can be uncomfortable for us to accept that at times we need a bit of guidance in the way we raise our children, however a parenting group or a course, may bring some focussed changes in our homes and in the lives of our children. Even a bit of time spent reading the plethora of parenting books that are around, just might help, however a book read does not equate to changes made. If you have read a book and like a few ideas, ask for some help to implement these changes. After all, it takes a village to raise a child, and we alone don’t count as a village.

Have a good month, Donald Welsh, Parenting Coach, Tauranga

Please take a minute to think about this; the National Pet Alliance in the US estimates that in the course of 12 years one unspayed female, with all her unspayed female offspring, can be responsible for 3200 kittens, how frightening is that.

De-sexing your pet is such an important and necessary step; cats can reproduce very quickly and from as young as four and a half months of age, do you really want your cat to have litter after litter of kittens, the struggle of trying to rehome them and for a lot of people the guilt of knowing that you have dumped them somewhere, even if they end up at the shelter, where I can guarantee they are well cared for, DESEXED and adopted out to loving families, they were still dumped by you, and left for us to take responsibility for your problem.

A problem that could be easily fixed, we received almost 1000 kittens in the Tauranga SPCA shelter in 2013, already in the early months of 2014 we have received almost 500 and are still receiving anywhere up to 50 kittens per week into the shelter, who knows how many we will have had by the end of the year. It amazes us why you would not go out and get your pets de-sexed.

We are now taking bookings at the shelter for the SPCA De-sexing Caravan which will be at the Tauranga SPCA the requirements for desexing you cat is having a current Community Services Card and identification and $20.00 per cat, bring these into the shelter so we can site them and we will book your cat in to be de-sexed – bookings are essential.

We have 561 spaces available for cats; let’s fill them all, if your cat is already de-sexed that is great, please help us by spreading the word.

De-sex your cat and dog now before you are faced with litters that are your responsibility! Please come and book your cat or dog in NOW at the Shelter 43 Alach Street, Greerton. shelter 43 Alach Street, Greerton, Tauranga, PO Box 2087, Tauranga,

Library News

While there is no formal "A.A. definition" of alcoholism, most of us would agree that, for us, it could be described as a physical compulsion to consume alcohol beyond our capacity to control it, and in defiance of all rules of common sense.

As alcoholics, we have learned the hard way that willpower alone, however strong in other respects, is not enough to keep us sober.

We have come to understand that there are few alternatives for alcoholics. If we continue to drink, our problems will become progressively worse. The only alternative is to stop drinking completely, to abstain from even the smallest quantity of alcohol in any form. If we become willing to follow this simple course, and to take advantage of the help available, a whole new life can open up for us.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety. For more information please call 0800 229 6757 or visit www.aa.org.nz

Don’t you love that new book smell? Well, here is three that will massage your nasal passages!

Atoms Under the Floorboards by Chris Woodford: Have you ever thought there may be potential gems of ideas under your own roof? Within the pages of this book you can learn how to keep your home warm with just one candle, dry your socks outside in winter and why you should never poke cold custard down your sink.

Lanterne Rouge by Max Leonard: Forget Armstrong, Froome, Wiggins, and Merkx – this is the story of the fellow who comes last in the Tour de France – and surprisingly you can come last and still influence who wins, but presumably still feel like you’ve ridden over 3,000 miles flat stick. One for the underdog supporters.

Just Add Water – Clay Marzo: Champion surfer Marzo thought something was missing in his childhood – it turned out it was undiagnosed Asperger’s Syndrome. Clay only felt at home in the water, and while this story could become key to identifying autistic traits in any child, it is more importantly a personal journey of an original radical surfer.

Come in and sniff the new books soon !
