You’ve gotta be Kiwiing me!!!

Jay from Beds4U Whangarei

If you spend most of your nights switching sides, trying to get at least a few hours of sleep, you're definitely not eating enough kiwi fruit. According to a study, eating two kiwi fruits one hour before bedtime may help you fall asleep faster and sleep better.
Kiwi fruits tend to carry very high antioxidant levels and serotonin levels. These antioxidants appear to have a good influence on sleep, according to a growing number of studies based around this. High levels of serotonin may also be significant, since serotonin helps to initiate sleep and then sustain sleep throughout the night. It also helps to regulate the phases of sleep and stimulates alertness in the morning. Test it out to set yourself for a perfect night in slumber, but things surely do appear to be going well for the small fruit.

Consultation begins on Airport Location study

We are seeking public opinion about the future of air transport in the Whangārei District.

We need to plan ahead and be ready for change in the air transport sector. Aircraft types and sizes may change in future, or Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) rules may change. Either of these could require the airport to shift from Onerahi, potentially some time in the 2030's.

The existing airport at Onerahi has a relatively short runway with smaller than usual safety areas at each end. We have looked at extending the safety margins, but problems with this option mean we must also consider new potential sites elsewhere in our District. We have permission from the CAA to continue using the existing Onerahi airport for the time being, giving us time to examine potential new sites.

We have identified three potential new sites: Ruatangata West, Ruatangata and One Tree Point West. From initial investigations these potential sites all appear to meet the required criteria including enough clear flat land for a runway, clear airspace at either end (ie no mountains or hills), land for the operational area a new airport would require, and relatively close links to state highways.

Now it's time to include the community in this study. Please take the time to examine each of the options, and share your perspective through the 'Have your say' options.

A SPECIAL visitor coming to us Sunday....

Alison Neighbourly Lead from Kamo

This Sunday 1 May the Royal Australian Airforce will be paying us a visit with a C130J Hercules.
You may recall this type aircraft visited us once before, during a medi-vac of one of their members. - It was very impressive.
This is the model C130 the RNZAF have on order.

You may recall this type aircraft visited us once before, during a medi-vac of one of their members. - It was very impressive.
This is the model C130 the RNZAF have on order.

This time a more mundane reason for a visit as we are the last stop of an around NZ tour.

Expected time of arrival is 1000 (10:00 am) and will leave just an hour later.

Worth coming out and having a look.
