While we all recognise that traffic is fast through all streets in Hamilton the siting of this one is causing us all concern as we have not been able to convince the council that it will seriously impact our community users.
It will block access to our disabled park and leaves no room for us to load or unload items as we often do. Can you all please look at the pictures and help us by convincing the council to adjust the siting to allow free access to our community hall.
Contact the council by email: roads@hcc.govt.nz or calling Richard Teeuwenon 072450094.
feedback needs be by Friday 12th August 5pm.
We value your support.

Country Living editor Ni a Williams had never visited Provence, yet visions of that fabled French region permeated her dreams.
And so, with a little help from some talented artists, she transformed her own simple Denver home (inside and out) into a small bit of Proven al heaven.
Everywhere trompe l'oeil murals turn the walls into a storybook peopled with imaginary characters and landscapes from a tiny imaginary Proven al village. And each detail, from the ceramic dishes to the small soaps in the bathroom to the wrought iron furniture on the patio, has the perfect Proven al touch. Williams herself explains her inspiration, and the reasons behind all her choices. A pure delight and true original,

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.
We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.

GO DRY JULY PROJECT
This was a resounding success, and we want to thank everyone who supported us in this project. Your interest in what we were fundraising for struck a note with so many people. We abstained from all forms of alcohol from 01 July through to early August and many recognised that challenge by donating a total of $3039:00 to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. It is so easy just to say the word thank you, but we want you all to know that your donations are just so valuable as we work with the Prostate Cancer Foundation to support those people that are challenged by cancer.
Your support is all the more valuable as we do not have the backing of any government funding for our endeavours, we have to rely on donations, sponsorships, bequests from estates, and everyday human kindness. However, you may rest assured we are working hard to have that changed.
The Kris Hayward petition to Parliament is all about pressing the government for a funded prostate cancer screening program for the men of New Zealand, just as the women have for breast cancer, particularly as we lose more men annually from the ravages of prostate cancer than the ladies lose from breast cancer. It is NOT about keeping a score on losses, it is about saving every person we can – every loss affects families, relationships, and communities. Such a situation is just not fair. We are committed to seeing a positive change made. Anyone over the age of 18 can sign the petition online and below is the link that will take you to the form. Please ask all of your friends to sign as well; we want an avalanche of signatures in support of us in this campaign. Think about his fact – 1 in 8 men will be affected by prostate cancer in their lifetime – it could be your brother, uncle, nephew, father, grandfather, and yet it need not be so. We recognise not everyone can be saved, but every man we lose has a direct effect on a family and their local community. Here is the link, please help us to help you.

We are survivors and will strive to see that change takes place – in that way we can say thank you for the life we have been given after prostate cancer. Want to know more about prostate cancer? Just call Ron Greenwood on 027 276 0336 or email him at cambridge@prostate.org.nz and he will be pleased to hear from you and point you in the right direction.

Our member surveys indicate that the average life expectancy of a top loader is seven years, and 12 for a front loader. A little care and maintenance can go a long way, so here are some tips to help you get the most from your washer.
Watch out for keys and coins
Keys and coins kill washing machines. Check pockets before washing, and look for dirt and objects left in the drum, or hidden in the rubber seals after each wash.
Check your pump filter
Many washing machines have these as a last line of defence against foreign objects. Look for a small hatch low down on the outside of your machine. Check this monthly and clear anything that shouldn’t be in there — use a towel or tray to catch the water when you open it up. If your machine isn’t draining, this is the first thing to check before calling for a repair.
Limit your washer's spin speed
Keep this to 1200rpm, even if your machine goes up to 1400 or even 1600rpm. Higher speeds reduce the life of belts, drum bearings and door seals, without removing much more water.
Don’t use fabric softener with laundry detergent
Fabric softeners react to create a waxy residue called “scrud”. No one wants “scrud” – especially as it clings to unseen parts of the machine, such as under the agitator. If blobs break free, they can leave greasy marks on laundry.
Regularly clean the detergent dispenser
Check the manual to see how to remove it, and wash it thoroughly in warm soapy water.
Clean the door seal
Remove water from the door seal after each wash (if you notice mould, wipe the rubber seal with hot water and detergent). Between washes, leave the door and detergent dispenser open – that lets the interior dry.
Use the service cycle
Many machines have a specific “service” or “cleaning” cycle. It helps your machine smell fresh, prevents detergent build-up, and keeps it cleaning at its best.
If your machine doesn’t have a service cycle, run a hot wash with a full-strength powder detergent once a month.
