TIME TO HAVE YOUR SAY... Kaiwaka residents have had two meetings recently in which to express thoughts about the town to the Council. There was a public meeting to review the Township Improvement Plan. Only trouble was we had no opportunity to speak up publicly or hear what others were thinking. Then there was the review meeting on the District Plan. More chance to speak up there but all in tight little groups rushing round ten minute table times. Kaiwaka Can holds its annual meeting this coming Wednesday, May 15th. We have a very small amount of the business type of stuff to do – approve the one- page financial report and elect three officers, hardly an evening’s work. Then we can talk about Kaiwaka, the things already under way and also, things we think about, dream about, maybe get mad about, maybe worry about. The meeting is open to anyone and everyone. Yes, we have a membership but we Fresh Daily Baked have a totally open style, welcoming any who come to any meeting with ample opportunity to speak up and out. We would love to see plenty come this Freshly Baked Breads, Wednesday and do just this. In this way we can have a stronger and more united Savoury Scrolls, voice with Council. Time to move on with making our town what it can be and Danishes, Chelsea buns, all of you can be a part of that. croissants and much more Derek Christensen (Chair) Meeting: Wednesday May 15th, Archie Bull Hall (behind the Easy Dinners Anglican Church) at 5.30pm.

From Scoop News 3 April 2018 “Harlequin Ladybirds are a potential threat to the horticulture industry where they feed on pip fruit, causing blemishes on the fruit. They are known to cluster within bunches of grapes before harvest resulting in tainted juice. Harlequin Ladybirds also pose a nuisance to humans where they swarm in buildings and houses. They can bite and cause allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. They eat other insect species and compete for food resources, posing a risk to the biodiversity of our ecosystem. They will eat native ladybirds and also swarm in beehives over winter, requiring manual removal. Due to the highly variable nature of Harlequin Ladybirds it can be hard to distinguish them from other ladybird species. The M shaped markings between the head and abdomen and two small bumps on the rear of the back are their identifying features, they are also slightly larger than common ladybirds. The larvae and pupae have a spikier skin than common spotted ladybirds.

Parent/Caregiver and Community Presentation Venue: Otamatea High School Date: Wednesday 5 June Time: 6.00pm - 7.30pm Presenter: Dr Denise Quinlan KICKING FOR THE SURFACE: Practical Strategies to Protect and Promote Wellbeing This practical session will share tips and strategies that parents,/caregivers and students can use to keep their heads above water in a busy year. The good news - wellbeing is our best protection against the stresses and challenges of everyday life. You will find out what wellbeing is made up of, and simple ways to support it; why focusing on what’s right and knowing your strengths can help wellbeing and achievement; how to combat the 'fragile thoroughbred’ syndrome that sees many teenagers afraid to try or giving up after failure; and why we can all benefit from more self-compassion. Last but not least, this session will remind parents that love, acceptance and belonging are the most important things you can continue to give busy, worried or less-than-totally-lovely young people. Dr Quinlan is acknowledged nationally and internationally as an outstanding facilitator. Her humour and honesty allow her to create environments where participants fully engage and safely contribute.

Denise may be the best facilitator l know. If not she'd make the ‘grand final’! Dr Alexander ‘Sandy’ Gordon, Elite Sports Psychologist and Couch, Australia.

She has a warm way of communicating the science of well-being to people with varied knowledge and experiences of Positive Psychology. There was a general consensus that we left the training wiser, more connected and energised for our work with young people. Paul Tupou- Veo, Dilworth Rural Campus, Te Haerenga.
