I can connect with people in a positive way, learn new things and share things I've learned. I can trade items and ideas without feeling like a social outcast, and know that while people may not agree with me and I don't always agree with, or understand, other people, I'm not going to be trolled for it.
I can also enjoy random good feeling posts on a grey day like today. So smile. Your teeth won't fall out if you do (at least, I hope not 😉).
So, why do you Neighbourly?
Welcome back Te Mata families. It' set to be a great term 2 and I know we are all ready to get going on the brilliance growing and sharing, 🤓 and are sad to see the end of the holidays🤥.

I checked lost property this morning and we already have some. There are a few jumpers and more than a few hats, some raincoats and other assorted items of clothing. Please check or have your young'uns check for their missing items. The trolley is, as usual, to be found outside the hall main doors.
Lunch Online is up and running and our first orders will be delivered tomorrow morning, so please, if you haven't already, register at lunchonline.co.nz where you can order up until 9am tomorrow and every Wednesday. You can even order well in advance. Payment is strictly online, so please do not send cash or cheques to school. You can either pay at the time of order or pre-load your account. Don't forget, next Wednesday we have a $3 Pit Pit Special through Lunch Online. You can order this week for next week, as well, if you like.
If you have an existing account, at another school, just add your Te Mata child/ren to your account or change their school to Te Mata on your existing account. You can take your family account with you as they move on or up to new schools (if the school has LOL), as HN Intermediate do.
Safety on the roads and pathways is, as always, paramount. Please, when driving, keep to your side of the road (unlike several I saw this morning on Nimon St, travelling down the centre of the road), and please keep your kids safely retrained in the car until the car is fully stopped and the engine off, or the hand brake on. I saw one child jump out of a car that was still rolling this morning. When they get out of cars parked on the road, footpath side please. It is too easy for them to end up in front of moving vehicles if they get out on the road side.
When using the Legorne Lane entrance, please do not stop over driveways, on berms or in front of the lane to the school. All these are dangerous as they obstruct the views of other drivers and especially children. Also, it's just plain rude.
Please, please, please teach your children to use the footpath to the school, not crossing opposite the entrance on Legorne Lane or partway down Nimon Street. The footpath goes the whole way on Legorne Lane and there is a pedestrian crossing on Nimon Street. The kids are crossing in front of moving vehicles and popping out from between parked cars with no warning to drivers, who simply cannot see them in time. And if you are walking with them, show them how to get to school safely. If they are walking with older siblings, make sure the older siblings do this to.They will copy what they see. And they don't see you checking for traffic, they just see you crossing. Think about it. Show them what you want them to do.
Our new classrooms were blessed yesterday and we are all looking forward to them being utilised in the near future. Once they are occupied by the students, there will be other changes to classrooms taking place around the school. We will keep you informed as they occur. But, I personally can't wait to see all the great work that's coming, both at the school and from the kids.
As always, if you are interested in joining Home & School and having a say in the future direction of the school (and getting to know what's happing before anyone else), feel free to come along to any of our meetings, or join us in the staff room on Thursday mornings, until about 10am to count the Friday Treats. Or just send us a message. If you want chat in person, there are always some members gathered under the big tree outside the staffroom after school. Or ask one of the staff to point us out. We really aren't that scary, and we don't bite, unless you ask nicely.
Until next time, Sayonara.

One of our older children placed the wreath on the Cenotaph, with the help of her peer, which had been created by the children and staff. We then sat around the Cenotaph enjoying the sun and the children sang the national anthem, in Māori and English, which they had been practicing for the previous few weeks. We then had some ANZAC biscuits, which the children had made at the end of last week, water and some fruit. With everyone settled down with their kai we then read the book ‘ANZAC Ted’ by Belinda Landsberry.

Wanting to know if you have a smart meter for your power and did you ask for one to be put in or were you unaware that one was put in without your consent?
I found one was put in on my house without my knowledge, so have had the chip removed. Since having it removed I have had nothing but HUGE problems with the power company since, my mum is with Grey Power. Not reading the meter (hasn't been read since Nov 2017), bills are weeks later. Over Christmas we had one bill that was for 45 days!!
Just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and how did you fix it? Tired of ringing the power company every month *sigh*

Does anyone have any old corrugated iron they want to get rid of? I need at least 13m for my garden bed. Or a couple of fruit bins.

“That is without doubt the most interesting way anyone has introduced their partner to me!” I respond. “So come on Anne,” I say, “what’s he on about?”
“We are Ear Suction Hawke’s Bay” she tells me “and we are all about ear and hearing health”.
“The human ear is programmed to produce wax to protect the ear canal and the drum” Anne tells me “and sometimes that wax can get dry, stuck or impacted. That can cause issues like poor balance or vertigo and also infections that can affect the whole body. And obviously it will also create hearing loss. We are the first port of call when anyone is experiencing ear or hearing issues because a simple, painless clearing of the ear wax might be all that is required to send a happy patient on their way” she says.
“I thought you went to a doctor to get an ear syringe for that” I say.
“Once upon a time you did” she says. “But that is now frowned upon as a treatment method. High pressure water into the ear can impact the wax even more and create greater problems. The ACC have recognised this as an issue and now will not recognise ear syringing as a medical procedure”
“How do you do it?” I ask her.
“I use a tiny suction device that gently and quickly removes any wax adhering to the canal wall or ear drum. It only takes a few seconds and the benefits are immediate. If there are any other issues inside the ear I can let the patient know and advise them on who to see about that” she tells me.
Anne is a registered nurse with years of experience in audiology testing. The combination of these two professions is what makes her so good at spotting any issues early and guiding patients on the right course of action.
Nick, her business partner and husband, used to be an accountant so he is pretty good at the business side of things. He sees his role as business development and enjoys working on the creative side of the business. “I am not just a number cruncher!” he assures me. Together they have five ear clinics across Hawke's Bay.
“Who should be coming to see you for a check-up?” I ask.
“Anyone working in a noisy and or dusty environment” Anne says. “In those conditions the ear produces extra wax to protect the ear drum and that can lead to problems. Also older people. Many of them assume their hearing loss is a result of aging but older people produce more wax and I can often fix their hearing loss in a few seconds. And professional people", she continues, "Stress increases the heart rate and that produces more wax. I encourage them to get regular checks as well. Ears are irreplaceable so I encourage everyone to look after them!"
“What is the best thing about sucking ears?” I ask her.
“I can change someone’s life in 2 minutes” she says. “Some people come to me convinced they are going deaf and believe there is nothing anyone can do about it. Often they leave my clinic with their hearing restored and no hearing aid in their future anytime soon. That is a blast when that happens” Anne says.
When I left Anne’s clinic after my treatment I noticed there were a lot more birds singing than when I went in. And I didn’t have the car radio on that loud did I?
Hmmm, I wonder if Anne has anything to do with that?

One with an answering machine and one without. Both with brand new batteries. Both with belt clips and instruction manuals. They both have all the bells and whistles (including personalised ring tones for each number in the digital phone books, so you know when the boss is calling and you want to pretend you are away).
I'll take $100 for the one with the answering machine and $80 for the one without. They are not a set.
