Hi Neighbours, Thank goodness Don is back, all fixed and good as new from his recent surgery:-) We're so lucky we have him to keep us in the loop, thank you Don.............

Hi All,

I hope you are all keeping safe and well.
Unfortunately due to personal circumstances I was not able to send out last months police newsletter with crime updates, however I can report there were no increases in crime during September 2021.

I have now returned to the office for light duties after hernia surgery (very minor, but necessary) however I will be resuming full duties from the 15th of November in just over a week’s time, so I will officially be allowed out and about.

Due to the current situation in Auckland, I will now be doing shift work working alongside my team and this will incorporate a mix of early and late shifts. Regardless, once the alert system allows, I will make myself available to attend and support any community and crime prevention meetings and engagements when needed.

As for Covid19, You’re probably all sick to death with hearing about this situation, however You must know that we do have covid19 cases in Onehunga where people are self- isolating, so the risk of transmission is right on our doorstep.

Please continue to follow recommendations and guidelines and continue to maintain social distancing of at least 1-2 meters depending on your situation and location, do not solely rely on a mask. A layered approach is the key to keeping well. Get vaccinated, socially distance, mask up, sanitise etc. The more layers of protection you have the less chance of catching the “coof”

Also, Boost your vitamin D and Zinc for increased immunity benefits.

Kind regards

Don

During the 2020 lockdown, she gave away over 140kg in fruit from her home orchard. This year, she didn’t have fruit to swap but her vegetable garden was packed with winter crops. “I had masses of broccoli, cauliflower, kale, silverbeet and French sorrel.

There, they're and their!

The Team from NumberWorks'nWords Royal Oak

There, they’re and their are the big trio of commonly confused words with all three of them pronounced the same.
- There means the opposite of here; “at that place.”
- They’re is a contraction of “they are” or “they were.”
- Their means “belongs to them.”
