COFFEE WITH A COP

Do you have concerns about issues of law and order in our local community? Now is your chance to discuss them with the local police in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Pop in to Cafe SoLe Seaway Road, Clarks Beach on Tuesday 12th November between 10.30 and 11.30am.

Share a cuppa with Community Constable Kelly Cochrane and air your concerns. Any worry you have - big or little - is a concern to the police if it is a concern to you, (No need to make a booking).

Letter to the Editor I am concerned about the speed that motorists drive in the 50km zones coming into the Waiau Pa village and out especially from Clarks Beach. This morning a car driven by some young female school students passed another car almost as they went around the corner into MacKenzie Road from Clarks Beach. It was unbelievable. We walk our dogs daily and find that most of the traffic takes no notice of speed limits on these roads. Considering there is a school, kindergarten and the village shops etc in this busy area it is absolutely appalling. I note that a few weeks ago a police car spent some time around the area but he was in a marked car, he said there had been complaints about the driving. Concerned resident

Driving advice: When Should High Beam Headlights Be Used? High beam headlights should be used at night, whenever you’re unable to see enough of the road ahead to drive safely.Ninety percent of a driver’s reactions depend on acute vision, including depth percep- tion, color recognition, and peripheral vision, all of which become severely limited at night. High-beam headlights shine at an angle to illuminate the road 350 to 400 feet ahead, or about twice as far as low beams. (Remember that 68 mph equals about 100 feet per second. When you travel at highway speeds at night, low beams may give you only a second or two to react to a hazard.)

23 Waiau Pa Volunteer Fire & Emergency Services Brigade

In 2019 the brigade has attended 100 calls. There were 2 Fire and Property and 8 medical calls since the last report. A typical month with 80% of calls being medical calls. Waiau Pa Fire First Responders went to St John calls for fainting, fitting, breathing, chest, abdominal and Heart AICD pains this month.

The 20th of October Sunday show on TV1 follows a Howick permanent paid firefighter crew. This show is available on demand. New Zealand has 561 brigades. Volunteer personnel number just under 12,000 individuals. Within FENZ (Fire and Emergency New Zealand), career/paid frontline personnel now make up 15% and volunteers 85% of the total emergency response workforce.

Fire Advice Outdoor Fires Wait for calm early morning conditions and make sure any smoke will not inconvenience your neighbour or nearby roads. Inform the FENZ communication centre you are having a controlled burn. The Brigade legally is able to extinguish any fire. If a fire you start on your property escapes or gets out of control, the Auckland Council may pass the cost of putting out the fire onto you. Minimise the amount of smoke by, keeping it hot, using clean burning fuel such as untreated, dry wood. .

Medical Burns Fireworks burns are caused by heat and chemicals. Burns cause skin loss and tissue damage. You can help by knowing what to do. Ensure that you, other people helping, and the patient are not in danger Flood the burned area with cool water (not ice cold) for at least 20 minutes. Call 111 for an ambulance if the burn is causing significant pain, or if the burn is larger than half the patient’s arm. Lightly cover with cling film (glad wrap) or a clean dressing. Do not remove clothing sticking to the skin. Do not put any creams on the burn

Over the last two months four recycling trucks have caught fire, the causes have been lithium- ion batteries, hot barbecue ash, gas bottles, batteries, Xbox console that someone had placed in their recycling bin! You can put single-use alkaline batteries (AA, AAA, C and D sized) in our rubbish bin, but not in our recycling bin. It is better, however, to take these to a battery recycler to be recycled. Lithium-based batteries used to power items such as mobile/cell phones, hearing aids, power banks, laptops, electric vehicles, power tools, and vapers are hazardous items, which cannot be put in our rubbish or recycling bins. Waiuku Community Recycling Centre can help you to safely recycle or dispose of them. Auckland Council has a recycling search tool if people are unsure as to whether an item can be recycled or not.
