tamahere vista - Tamahere Eventide

Welcome to the
TAMAHERE VISTA
April 2015
Welcome to another issue of theVista as well as to autumn and the
cooler weather. From now on we will be able to enjoy the array of
beautiful colours as the trees and bushes start to change to orange and
gold. (I always feel sad when the trees finally drop their leaves
completely, even though I know this is a necessary part of nature’s
process.)
We warmly welcome the following residents to our village:
Beatrice Hughes
Kees & Elizabeth Poortman
Villa 63
Villa 84
The AGM of the Residents’ Committee will be held on Monday 20th April at 10.30 am.
Nomination forms are available now in the foyer of the Community Centre and
completed forms should be placed in the box by 12 noon on Monday 6th April.

JUDY’S COLUMN
Looking back to review March, I think the highlight was our Big Day Out to
Raglan. The weather stayed fine for our drive through the countryside and
a walk in the sea air around the wharf area. Back on board we travelled out
to surfing mecca Manu Bay where Don stopped the bus so that we could
view some surfers catching the waves. The rain began falling and by the
time we had driven back to the Domain area, it was fairly wet outside.
Some very intrepid people equipped with coats and umbrellas joined me for a walk across
the Harbour footbridge into town, where we met the bus and gathered at the Raglan Club.
The fish and chip lunch meal served at our tables was delicious, and
the rain didn’t matter! Back on board the bus and there was an
impromptu round of ice creams purchased from the local store. Our
return journey included a stop at the wind farm viewing area,
however, the clouds had rolled in on the hills and not one bit of the
wind farm could be seen! Fortunately Don, our driver for the day, had visited the wind
farm, and was able to provide us with some interesting information about the wind farm.
There was a very small audience of residents to hear Guest Speaker Emma Falconer
discussing Enduring Powers of Attorney and Wills.
The weather was beautiful for a morning outing to the Hamilton Gardens. I had researched
some information about the Tropical Garden and the recently opened Tudor Garden, and
we also met the gardener in charge of the Tudor Garden. Offered a choice between a stop for
1
morning tea, or viewing another garden, our group decided to check out the Te Parapara
Garden, where the kumara were flourishing, and the gourds were drying on the ground. We
walked up to the lawn beside Turtle Lake too, and admired the vistas.
The Operatunity concert ‘Memories Are Made of This’ was very much enjoyed by those who
attended.
Performers from the University of Waikato Performing Arts Academy
entertained with a beautiful programme of music. We had sopranos, cellists,
pianists and a violinist. It was a wonderful surprise to have Beverley, who
organised the concerts last year, back to perform, as she is now working with
Opera New Zealand.
An Irish Friday Fling was held a few days after St Patrick’s Day. Nearly fifty Village
residents enjoyed an Irish sing-a-long accompanied by Len Schroeder. Seven teams tackled
an Irish Quiz (I’m sure the winning team was “stacked” with people of Irish descent!) We
shared some limericks and stories, and had green iced cake for afternoon tea. Some technical
hitches with the music were overcome so that we could all enjoy seeing three young dancers
from the Waikato Celtic Arts Academy perform.
March ended with the monthly Happy Hour in the Community Centre.
By the time you are reading this column, my husband Ron and I will
be winging our way to America for adventures in San Francisco,
Monterey, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Henderson, Grand Canyon,
Las Vegas, Death Valley, Mammoth Lakes and Yosemite National
Park. I will return to work on Tuesday 21 April, richer in experiences and much poorer in
the bank account!
What is planned for April?
We will have two concerts from the Performing Arts students, on Wednesday 1 April and
Wednesday 22 April.
On Wednesday 8 April, Ray and Betty Diprose of Living Productions are doing a
presentation of their work for interested residents and their families. Living Productions
create “life story” DVDs and have worked extensively in this area.
Friday Fling will take place on 17 April at 4.00 pm. This will be a movie followed by a pizza
tea. Further details will come from the Residents’ Committee.
The Operatunity concert on Monday 13 April is ‘Opera’s Greatest Hits’. These
Greatest Hits are used in everyday life in movies and TV. That’s because they
are simply great songs. Operatunity bring you a selection of the most popular
opera hits from such composers as Puccini, Verdi, Bizet, Donizetti and Mozart.
A van has been booked, and Thea (Receptionist) will co-ordinate this outing.
Our monthly Happy Hour will take place on Friday 24 April.
The outing for April is to the Tree Church and Labyrinth Garden at Ohaupo on Tuesday 28
April. This outing is weather dependant.

As well as the regular happenings, please make note in your calendars of upcoming events
of interest, and keep an eye on noticeboards (outside the Community Centre and in the
hallway of Rimu Apartments).

Room (Rest Home building). Details of the movie each week are posted on the
door of the Chapel. Village residents are welcome to attend, and an ice-cream
is available for $1 (charged to your account). From time to time I receive
advertising and flyers about events in the local area which may be of interest.
Please check the noticeboards (as above) regularly for these too.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH
'Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened’ – Dr Zeuss
The gardens are having a lot of work done on them this month as we use the
opportunity of Autumn to bring some of the large lawns back up to scratch.
Thankfully the water restrictions have now been lifted. You will notice that large
areas of lawn have died back after spraying and the lawn contractor will be on site in the coming
weeks adding fertiliser and additional soil before re-sowing the grass. The end result will be worth it.
There were some plants that got damaged with over spray and Andrew and his gardening team have
been putting in extra hours to prune this damage back to keep the gardens looking their best.
We are very close to the start of changing the Puhutakawa wing from a rest home wing to a secure
wing. The building consents have been given for the alterations and we are now calling for tenders
and this process will close in two weeks. Most of the early building work will take place outside the
wing and have very little impact on residents. The internal changes will occur in the later part of the
project that is expected to take three months.
The next stage of the village is almost complete with the next six villas scheduled
for completion on 24 April with handover expected on 30 April. We look as
though we have buyers for all six of these villas already and having the property
full will also quickly add to the feel of permanence. The opening of the fence
3
between the large gardens at the front of the property, the new villas and the community centre
should improve the look of the property from our main entrance. This, coupled with the removal of
the ramps once the Pohutakawa wing change takes place, will give this area of the Home and Village
a better feel. I know a number of you walk the grounds on a daily basis and these changes will make
your circuit less cluttered and more interesting.

THIS IS THE LAST UPDATE ON OUR HAIRY CHAPLAIN’S PROGRESS BEFORE THE
GREAT SHAVE OFF!
What a wonderful journey Colin has been on since he started his fifteen week “pilgrimage”
to raise funds for Hospice, and how uncomfortable he must have been during the whole
exercise. But the end is in sight with Saturday 11th April being the date when it all comes off
and Colin is left without a hair left on his head! (Jean)
AND NOW FROM THE HAIRY HIPPY CHAPLAIN HIMSELF:
This is my last report before the big shear off on the 11th April. A big thank you to all those
who have sponsored, encouraged, cajoled and generally added just a bit more spice to this
ongoing cultivation project on behalf of hospice!
By the time you receive this update I think all the seats for the Bollywood dinner will be
filled. But if you would like to come give me a call or email and I will check whether it’s
possible to fit you into the dining arrangements.
Offerings towards the auction are still being sought so if you have
something you would like to donate for this part of the evening
celebrations please contact me.
As I write this I am preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Melbourne
to watch the final of the One Day Cricket World Cup – something I never thought to
experience and look forward to with great excitement. Of course, Sandy has enjoyed
pointing out I will be the ‘hottest’ fellow there due to the dates arranged for the shearing
after we return!
During my absence my co-worker, Anne, will be available for all your chaplaincy needs.
Please continue to support her as she settles into her own place in our midst.
May God bless you in all your endeavours and favour the Black Caps on the day.

I HAVE A DREAM!
In the next few months (we hope) a start will be made on the hospital
on the property, and this is where my dream comes in. I wondered if
we could raise some money that could go towards the furnishing of the
Family Room.
We could have a small stall at some of our activities. I am willing to
make marmalade, cook muffins and fruit loaves, biscuits for sale, and
wondered if others would be interested in helping me. If you have baking or craft items
that we could sell, it would all be acceptable.
If you are interested in joining this project, please phone and let me know on 856 1398.
Thanks.
Hilda Schroeder
FROM THE RESIDENTS’ COMMITTEE
An important month for the village residents with the opportunity to
elect the Village Committee to represent all residents for the next 12
months. Elsewhere in the Vista are photos of the present committee
so that you can put faces to names. Nomination forms are available in
the Community Centre and they need to be placed in the box by 6th
April.
Do come to the AGM on 20th April and welcome the new committee. A
ballot will be held if required.
Autumn weather is at last with us so enjoy the autumn colours and prepare for winter.
To the new residents to our village, welcome, and enjoy the programme of activities put
together for you.
Graham Goodwin, Chairperson
LOOKING BACK OVER THE FIRST THREE MONTHS …..
“Where has the time gone?” I know that’s really cliché, however it is
nevertheless a very valid question for me at this time. It’s already three
months since I began in my role as co-Chaplain here at
Tamahere. What of these last three months?
Well, as you will appreciate, there has been much going on for me with
regard to the ‘settling in’ process both here and in our new home in Te
Awamutu. I am particularly enjoying being here at Tamahere reconnecting with people I’ve known for some years and meeting many of you for the first
time. I think I’m doing quite well with names, however there are still some people whose
names elude me or I have the proverbial ‘senior moment’ and struggle to recall. I don’t
know about you, but I find going through the alphabet at those times is really helpful.
I have also enjoyed having opportunities to dust off the guitar and the vocal chords,
helping with sing-alongs and generally having fun with music. Being invited to help with
the choir, which I’ve dubbed “Tamahere Songbirds”, has also been cause for
enjoyment…well, for me that is. I’d better not presume to speak for the people who
come along each week. It is many years since I conducted choirs and thought it to be
5
one of those activities that was destined to become part of the ‘what I did’ story of my
life.
The story in John 5 about the healing of the invalid at Bethesda, particularly verses 6-9,
holds within it the essence of my passion - to reach out to and walk with anyone who in
some way is unable or hampered in their efforts to “get up and walk”.
The focus for the Communion service in March was ‘Gratitude’. I would like
to express my gratitude to the Tamahere Board for inviting me to join the
Tamahere staff and to you, for the ways in which you are making me feel
very welcome.
May you know the reality of God’s grace and peace as you journey to and beyond the
cross. Shalom
Anne Griffiths, Chaplain
An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested
no male pall bearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial
service, she wrote: “They wouldn’t take me out while I was alive, I don’t
want them to take me out when I’m dead.”
PLEASE NOTE YOUR CALENDARS: Sunday 10th May is Mother’s Day and there will be a
buffet lunch in the Cherry Blossom Café – cost $18.00 per person.
CHONEL’S GAREN ADVICE FOR APRIL
●
Cool off... Soil temperatures are beginning to drop now, with the cool nights
and crisp winds. Moisture levels in the soil return with frequent showers and the
overnight dew that lingers longer into the morning. As the soil cools, plants
begin to harden off new growth in preparation for winter, and vigorous growth
gradually slows. Now is the ideal time to take cuttings from your favourite
plants and increase your garden for free!
Feed... If you haven’t yet, now is the time to feed citrus for loads of sweet lemons and
mandarins throughout winter.
●
Hold Back… Avoid the temptation to prune anything too harshly at this time.
You risk encouraging vulnerable new growth and losing it to an early snap of frost. Go easy on
the fertiliser too for the same reason, and remember that your garden won’t be needing a lot of
watering from here on out.
●
Plant... Spring flowering bulbs such as anemones, freesias, daffodils and
ranunculus. But wait until next month before planting tulips. (Better yet, pop in the
fridge until then.) With the arrival of rain, you can plant to your heart’s content.
Anything and everything… almost.
●
Vegies to plant now… Now is the ideal time to get some cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli
seedlings in, as the white butterfly is no longer as great a menace. Also, put in some kale,
6
silverbeet and spinach to keep you in greens through the winter. If you must plant lettuce, butter
crunch and red types are the better varieties for colder seasons. Sow broad beans, and plant
celery. Also, great through the cooler periods, are peas. They do much better without the
humidity of summer.
●
Flowers to plant now… Winter hardy flowers such as Alyssum, calendula, delphinium,
dianthus, lobelia, Iceland poppies, pansy, polyanthus, primula, snapdragons, stock, and don’t
forget sweet peas!
●
Potter…Now is a great time to revive potted plants with fresh potting mix. Pot up plants into a
pot slightly larger than the one it was in, add fresh mix, cut out any dead or diseased plant
material, and water. You can add a sprinkling of plant food at this time, and spray with a gentle
bug spray to get rid of any over wintering nasties. Put in a nice warm spot that still receives good
light in winter.
●
Weed... With the return of rain comes the return of weeds. Every
flowering weed that set seed has been waiting for this very season and you
will notice weeds popping up by the clumpfuls. Even your summer colour
flowers have added to the mix. Keep what you want, and yank out what you
don’t. A small hand sprayer of weed killer is handy to have nearby, just be
careful of your other plants.
●
Stake… Autumn winds will wreak havoc with your tall plants, so ensure that they are
adequately staked to avoid autumn/winter breakage. Things to stake include camellias, citrus,
roses, and any other top heavy plants you may have. Fabric ties work best when securing plants
to stakes.
●
Protect… Your tender plants from strong winds, unexpected frost, and the return of slugs and
snails! Bring frost tender pot plants under the eaves, or inside, or cover frost tender plants with
frost cloth if a frost seems imminent. And throw slug bait about vulnerable seedlings and plants.
●
Reflect… When the days are too cold to garden, put your feet up and reflect on what grew well,
what didn’t and why. Plan to make the necessary changes for success next year. Cosy up with a
cup of tea and a garden magazine, and enjoy planning your spring garden display. 

NEWS FROM CHONEL - RELAY FOR LIFE
Every year, the National Cancer Society puts on a wonderful event nationwide,
known as the Relay for Life, which is a 22 hour team relay to raise money for
Cancer Societies all over the country. The object of this relay is to highlight the fact
that Cancer never sleeps, celebrate those who we loved and lost to this disease,
and gain sponsorship to fund medical Cancer research, and provide
accommodation and services for anyone undergoing cancer treatment, close to hospital.
This year my family, and some friends all got together and created
the “Everything is Awesome” team, dressed up like our favourite
Lego movie characters, and got involved in this great event. Along
with many other teams, we…the Waikato, raised over $200,000 for
the Waikato Cancer Society. A phenomenal success!
For all who don’t know what this relay involves, it is a relay based walk, around a circuit loop. Held at
the Mystery Creek Event centre in the Heritage Village, team members take turns walking the 600
metre long circuit, and pass the baton on to the next team member when it is time to swap. 1 team
member must be on the track, at all times.
The relay began at 1:30pm on the Saturday with the opening ceremony and reading of the Oath,
followed by the Survivors lap. From then on walkers entertained by live local
music, with a theme lap thrown in every few hours to keep the energy going.
Theme laps included were Disney, A day at the Races, Crazy hats, Jungle Fever,
Bridal Party Gone Wrong, and Nightmares at Midnight. The best event was the
Bridal Party Gone Wrong, which was won by a husband and wife team BOTH
wearing pre-loved Wedding dresses, toilet paper hanging from the zipper, and
gaffer tape holding the dress in place. A great laugh for all as night fell.
Along the track was the Heritage Village complete with the original Waikato hospital, Kihikihi jail
house, an old school house complete with desks and ink pots, and a church, garage, and black smith.
It was like taking a step back in time with every lap, and made the circuit interesting.
Through the late hours of night and early hours of morning were the hardest part of the event. The
temperature dropped, team members were rotating scheduled hours of sleep, and as half of our
team were children, it was up to the adults to keep it going for our team.
Fortunately, we were all rallied on by the Tamahere Lions throughout the night selling delicious hot
vegetable soup for $2, and encouraging us as we continued to fight the heaviness in our legs, and
count down the hours until it was our time to rest again. Even at 7am, 11:30 am seemed so far
away! But at last it did end, we collected everything from our camp site, and promptly all went
home for some much needed sleep!
Thank you so much to everybody in the village who sponsored me for this
wonderful event. With your help, our team collectively raised $2,300 for the
Waikato Cancer Society, which we were very proud of. We enjoyed it so much
that we are all looking forward to next year’s Relay for Life!

TAMAHERE SCOOTER CLUB
Trev’s Mob
A group of us celebrated St Patrick’s Day by joining the Free Wheelers Scooter Club at
Cambridge for a rally, followed by a great barbeque lunch. The weather was perfect and
Mark Bacchus had set up a course for us in the grounds of the Resthaven Retirement
Village. Everyone had dressed to mark the day and some of the scooters had been
appropriately decorated.
You don’t have to own a scooter to join in the fun
(and it really is fun) because there is always one you
can borrow. If you feel like giving it a go, you will
be most welcome. However, IT COMES WITH A
WARNING – because everyone who has tried it
becomes
addicted!
We meet on the last Saturday of the month at 2.30
pm. To find out more, please contact Mac on 8566314
(villa 41).
Our sincere thanks go to Mark and Meg for all the
support they give us – we really do appreciate it.
SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES IN THE GULLY
(A report by Len Schroeder)
We might be impressed with all the Public Works on the highway to
Cambridge, but not be aware of the Public Works on the track that leads
down the gully from the gate by our villa 34.
Our dedicated gully workers, Noel and Elva, have set out to make the track
available to mobility scooters so that some of us who cannot otherwise
make the grade will have access to the gully and its special areas of beauty
and tranquillity lower down.
Their sustained effort has meant that the track has to be at least two feet wide all the way with no
impossible corners to negotiate. So, after due preparation, we assembled for a first trial run on
March 20th.
Being on the spot, I was the guinea pig to ride the scooter, with five advisors to
monitor the progress. We soon discovered one or two rough spots to be ironed out
and a very difficult corner which needed modification (and draw in your wing
mirrors!). Nevertheless, we reached the bottom, circumnavigated the lake, and
arrived back at the top in reasonable condition – the pedestrians well behind the scooter!). So
ended the trial run.
Work has begun to iron out the obvious impediments with the hope that we shall soon be able to
report a workable track. There will be a report with a list of necessary precautions when further
trials have been completed (and Resource Consent has been given!). Meantime, as they say, “watch
this space”!

SOME THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVERE KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO
FOR YOU!!!
Did you know your mobile smart phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency
tool for survival? Check below for some of the things you can do with it ……
1. EMERGENCY The Emergency Number worldwide for mobile phones is 112. If you
find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an
emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the
emergency number for you, and, interestingly, this number 112 can be dialled even if
the keypad is locked. Try it out.
2. HAVE YOU LOCKED YOUR KEYS IN THE CAR? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may
come in handy someday. Good reason to own a mobile phone: If you lock your keys in the car and
the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your
cell phone. Hold your mobile phone about a foot from your car door and have the
person at your home press the spare car key unlock button, holding it near the
mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. This saves someone from having to
drive your spare keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you
can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the
trunk).
3. HIDDEN BATTERY POWER Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate,
press the keys *3370#, and your mobile will restart with this reserve and the
instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when
you charge your mobile next time.
4. HOW TO DISABLE A STOLEN MOBILE PHONE To check your mobile phone's serial number, key in
the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # (star-hash-zero-six-hash). A 15-digit code will appear on
the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it
somewhere safe. If your phone ever gets stolen, you can phone your service provider
and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset, so, even if the
thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get
your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If
everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
5. ATM PIN NUMBER REVERSAL If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from
an ATM, you can notify the police by entering your PIN number in reverse (for
example, if your card’s PIN number is 1234, then you would enter 4321 in the ATM).
The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards from the ATM card
you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested,
but, unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to the location.
This information was recently broadcast by Crime Stoppers, however, it is seldom used, because
people just don’t know about it.
