Just as honeybees pollinating orchards provide a service that benefits humans through fruit production, birds provide a valuable service too. What native birds do you see in your garden?

We have had graffiti on fences & Roadside buildings of the Village. Plus a TV was removed from a house across the road from the Village. And the latest event was an unsuccessful attempt to gain entry into one of the Village units by forcing a window on New Years Night. The window was broken in the attempt. See attached photos. On Friday 4th Jan 2019, we held our 1st meeting for the New Year. One of the subjects discussed was about Christmas Lighting. In as much as that we would try to have the centre of the Village lit up in decorative LED lights.

The biggest consumption day this summer was Tuesday 29 January, with consumption at 25.732 million litres. This exceeded what the Waingake Water Treatment Plant can deliver in a day. With more hot weather expected this week, if the high demand for water continues we may need to start water restrictions.
Households can make a difference by reducing the use of sprinklers and hoses. We recommend fixing any leaking taps and using water efficiently.
Filling a basin for rinsing, having a full load before using the washing machine or dishwasher, and using ‘smart’ water habits can save hundreds of litres a day. Read more here.

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.
The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.
They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.
What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Better still, they’re a snap to make, especially if you have ready-grated tasty and parmesan cheese from Mainland in the fridge.
For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!
