To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.
What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?

Seagrove Aerodrome was part of an RNZAF flying training station (RNZAF Station Seagrove) established during the Second world War. The station and runways were built in 1942 and operated as a training station from that year to 1944. Seagrove was also a base for the American Marine Corps from May to June 1943. After the war the site reverted to farmland.
Back in the 1950's the tarseal runways were used for motorcycle racing. You can still pick up spent .50 calibre projectiles from the shore there. they had targets set up on the mudflats there for the aircraft to use for target practice. The area now part of a stud farm. There is a stone memorial at the end of Seagrove Rd.

Unfortunately, in some instances, our desire to defend against COVID-19 is creating even more health problems.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has just released a report revealing a rise in calls to poison helplines. This rise coincides with increased media coverage of COVID-19, as the first case was reported in the US on 19 January 2020.
Even before the current rises, concerns for children under the age of five represented the largest portion of calls. This continues to be true, as chemical exposure cases across all ages increased this year, with up to half of all calls concerning young children. The case study provided by the CDC report shows just how frightening such a situation can be. More on this subject can be found on this link:

ANZAC is an acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. To commemorate and remember those Australian and New Zealand soldiers that fought to maintain democracy and sacrifice their lives for our freedom, on the 25th day of April of every year. Also in remembrance of my grandfather-in law Pte Walter James William Ford. 102 years ago he returned home to NZ having served in the Somme.
We bake some Anzac cookies in remembrance of them. These cookies can be baked all year round too as it is New Zealand's favourite cookies. For those of you who may be interested, further details about ANZAC day can be found on the link below:

Stabbing staff with scissors, masturbating, being drunk and having sex are just some of the reasons why 310 people were booted and banned from Auckland Council libraries in the last four years.

The majority of the trespasses were for threatening behaviour (51), abusive behaviour (41), theft (33), graffiti tagging (14) and intoxication (nine).
Five people were trespassed from several libraries for multiple offences or where serious types of offending posed significant risk to staff at other sites. Three people were banned from all libraries for offences listed in the article below.
Despite this, an Auckland Council spokeswoman said its libraries were safe and welcoming for Aucklanders wanting to connect, read and learn, and trespass notices were issued in "rare and isolated cases, with no evident patterns". Library staff were trained in conflict awareness.

This weekend as we reflect in our homes rather than at local Dawn Services we acknowledge the service of all those who served for New Zealand in Gallipoli, the Somme, Malaya or are out on patrol today with the United Nations.
We shall remember them this Anzac Day.
Remember to keep safe and all the best for the weeks ahead, my contact details are below if you need any assistance.

Download this pdf of a poppy, by award-winning illustrator Sharon Murdoch, to print off and stick in a front window - To show that even in lockdown, in our small bubbles, we shall not forget.
