There has been a move to make people - kids, teens and adults - who ride scooters to wear helmets.
I think there are at least two reasons why this is a bad idea.

I think there are at least two reasons why this is a bad idea.
1/ Impractical. . Many instances of scooter riding in public in short duration such as kids riding from their house to a neighbour's house.
2/ Wearing a helmet will in many cases shift the attitude - so that less care is shown and more speed produced largely on public places such as pavements and this in turn endangers pedestrians of all types who rightly would say that the narrow footpaths are designed for foot traffic.
Already there is a bill before Parliament to enable kids and young teens to ride a bike on the footpath. I hope this bill fails or at least is very restrictive . At present it is illegal for anyone to ride a normal kind of bike on the footpath apart from postal delivery workers.
Cluttering up the footpaths with fast moving scooters, skate boards and bikes is just a recipe for disaster and disdain.
What is with NZ and helmets anyway. We are still the only country in the world where bike helmets are compulsory and now some people in NZ want this extended to include scooter riders. What about helmets for rugby players? Oh, that is already part of the equipment in gridiron/American football.

All of NZ’s coastline is at risk from tsunami. Take some time this weekend to make a plan with your family. If your street was evacuated where would you go? What would you take? What about pets? Do you have neighbours who might need your help?

In a local source tsunami we may only have a few minutes warning. Early warning saves lives. Know what to do and where to go. www.happens.nz...

Remember these simple safety tips to keep you, your family and your Neighbours Safe.
* Read and follow instructions on fireworks
* Read them with a torch..........NOT a lighter
* Light in an open area away from flammable materials
* Fireworks, alcohol and drugs are a dangerous combination
* Never let your children light fireworks
* Keep a hose or bucket of water handy
* If one of the fireworks fails to ignite, do not try to re-ignite
* Burns should be put under cold running water for at least 10 minutes
THINK OF OTHERS:
* Fireworks are noisy - consider your neighbours and young children
* Keep your pets inside
* Point fireworks at the stars.......not your mates!!
We love meeting our Neighbours.....But lets not meet by accident this Guy Fawkes. Have Fun and Stay Safe!!

Entry is FREE, though you're welcome to leave a donation if you'd like to support our new parish youth group. Some people are also giving a donation to dedicate a song to someone in loving memory. I had done professional theatre in the USA and religious concerts around the world prior to coming to New Zealand, and thought this might help them out.
