Greenhithe Village News
August 2011
Hi Greenhithe Residents,
I don‘t know about you but I am so looking forward to Summer! I go walking in the early hours of each morning and its slowly starting to
get lighter. Finally! And how about that new motorway? Isn‘t it awesome! May I suggest a explorative drive if you haven‘t yet. It now only
takes me 5minutes to get home instead of my usual 20min drive....Heaven!
We have another great nomination for this months Nice Neighbour award, you can read below for the details. And also another big
congrats to Steve & Kim Long who won last month. Keep those nominations coming in. I love reading about our awesome residents.
Until Sept, Gabrial Heath

Nice Neighbour of the
Month....
Hi there,
I would like to
nominate Aurelia
Northin of Austin Rd as
Nice Neighbour of the
Month.
When my husband
died unexpectedly late
last year I had no
relatives to turn to but
Aurelia was always there for me, helping and
consoling me with her kindness and gentle
humour, and quiet common-sense when I
needed advice.
She also helped me meet the kind people of
Greenhithe, whom I regard as in a class of
their own.
It is indeed a wonderfully friendly community.
I received this letter after last months publication and thought it would make a nice
contribution to the news. We try hard to keep this Newsletter as focused on the
community as possible and its a great feeling to know that its being noticed. Thanks
again to Phillipa, you made my day!
A Special Thanks
Reading the Greenhithe Village News, July 2011, was especially heartening. There
was the Nice Neighbour Award, The Twins Polka Dot Party, the Greenhithe Village
Store‘s stance on Kronic and the proprietor‘s personableness. The Fire Brigade
Report, the Police Report & the thank you to the gentleman who rescued the
‗scooter crash boy‘, all reflecting the support & caring of a true village. There were
other articles that were also constructive & positive.
To this end, I think both Gabrial Heath & David Cattanach of Harcourts, Greenhithe
need to be acknowledged for the enormous effort they put into both encouraging
and fostering this spirit and to making the Greenhithe Village News what it is.
Hopefully those of us who live in Greenhithe can continue to take the time to think
about and support others in the Greenhithe Community and to make interesting &
meaningful contributions to the Greenhithe Village News.
All of this is what makes Greenhithe Village so special.
Nancy Hayward Malins.
Kind Regards
Congratulations to Aurelia for winning this
months award. There is some flowers and
chocolate coming your way soon!
Do you have a Nice Neighbour who deserves
the award? Email:
greenhithenews@gmail.com and we‘ll honour
one lucky person each month!

Greenhithe Residents Be Aware

of the day. Please return the package to the same place
with no questions asked.

This months meeting was at
Leeanne Lanes house. Because
of the rain lately we decided to
just have a lovely shared
morning tea instead of our usual
garden walk about. A talk was
done on ―Things to feed Garden
Birds‖ and a demonstration on
how to make some lard bird
feeders. We were also lucky to
have Christine from ―Herald
Island Garden Club‖ displaying
and selling her cup and saucer
bird feeders Alison showed her
lovely plants from her
garden and we had plant swap
and a raffle.

Memories of my time in Greenhithe. By Noel
Schelling, Part Eight, August, 2011.
I recall that when I was about 13 years old, in 1954/5, I
secured a part-time job working for the late Mr. Joe
Crowther who owned the Greenhithe Store. I was still at
school obviously and after school used to go directly to
the Store to weigh up sugar, flour, dried fruit, etc, and
also serve customers at times. (I think this is where I
got my interest in grocery, as my first job was at
Farmer‘s Trading in Hobson Street, in the Foodhall.
Only for 4 weeks though! They expected young guys to
carry 25lb bags of sugar to the car park! Enough of that
now… The post office at that time was in the Store,
and in 1976, this moved to a caravan site down outside
Collins House. At the end of 1976, a new post office
was opened, next to the Greenhithe Hall, and they then
established post boxes. I was able to pick my own post
box number (and secured the box underneath mine for
the Sea Scout Group, which the Lions Club now share),
and I still have that same P O Box number now ! Some
35 years later !
We have organized a morning tea for any residents,
past or present, who have/had lived in Greenhithe for at
least 25 years or so on Tuesday, 6th. September, at The
Old School Building in Collins Park, at 10.00am until
11.30am. We all take along a plate.We do have a list of
folk, but anyone interested in coming along for a good
yarn, please feel free to give me a ring at 4433217 or
email: noel.s@ihug.co.nz or Lynn McNamara at
413.9466 or email: lynn-m@extra.co.nz A gold coin
towards the tea and coffee would be appreciated
thanks. See you all then!

Shin Splints
'Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome' more commonly known as Shin
Splints defines the condition in which stress, over time, causes
injury to the medial (inside) part of the tibia (lower leg). It is very common with high impact
athletes - runners, netball, basketball, etc.
What causes Shin Splints?
The pain associated with shin splints is thought to correspond to the area where the soleus
muscle of the calf attaches to the lower, inner shin bone. Repeated unaccustomed loading of
the muscle attachment to the bone can cause an inflammatory response. This in turn can
lead to breakdown of tissue with a spectrum of injury which sometimes can lead ultimately to
stress fracture.
What are the Symptoms?
- Pain located on the medial (inside) part of the lower leg
- Pain initially on running which may ease during early phases but deteriorates with late phase
- Pain may be related to training on exceptionally hard surfaces
- Pain may linger after cessation of the offending activity
- May be associated with tight calf muscles
What are the underlying causes?
Typically this is an overuse injury but there are some common underlying causes:
- Training load – Too much too soon / hard surfaces
- Poor shoe condition or incorrect shoe selection
- Poor biomechanics / running technique / muscle balance issues
- Poor calf flexability
How is this managed?
Most important is identifying which factors are contributing to the underlying cause. It may be necessary to reduce the
training load or cross train to allow healing of tissues. Physiotherapy management may include:
- Soft tissue manipulation / massage - Acupunture
- Muscle balance exercises
- Proprioceptive taping
Gait analysis – We now have the ability to perform slow motion digital kinematic analysis of your running technique.
This gives valuable information to improve running efficiency and help you run faster and pain free. Speak to Craig
for details.
If you think you are experiencing Shin Splints, early management ensures your best chance of recovery. Call us at
Hobsonville Physiotherapy for assessment, treatment and advice. Sports injuries are covered by ACC. We are able
to generate ACC claim forms with no referral necessary

Fire Brigade Report
As part of the Get Firewise Programme delivered
in schools children are made aware of what to do
in case of a fire, but what about adults
firewise preparedness? Ask your kids and hopefully they‘ll tell you all
about escape plans, safe meeting places and much more. It‘s a good
family time…
In the event of a fire
- Crawl low and fast to escape smoke – 'Get Down, Get Low, Get
out.'
- Shut doors behind you to slow the spread of fire
- Meet at the planned meeting place (letter box, neighbor‘s driveway)
- Once out, stay out – never go back inside
- Phone 111 and ask for the Fire Service from a safe phone
- Tell the Fire Service the house number, street, nearest intersection,
suburb and city.
Nothing can really prepare us for the impact of a fire on our family
and property. It can make us feel helpless and unsure of what to do
next. This is entirely understandable. The New Zealand Fire Service
will help you through this distressing situation and in the aftermath
and give you some important guidance including:
- It is normal to feel unsettled and disrupted for a while
- You may well be able to overcome any problems yourself but don't
be afraid to ask for help
- After a crisis, it is often easier to talk to someone who is not involved
and is trained to listen and help you find the assistance you need
- Victim Support provides a free, flexible and confidential service –
free phone 0800 842 846.
Concluding word... ―Discretion is the better part of valor‖. If you
say discretion is the better part of valor, you mean that avoiding a
dangerous or unpleasant situation is sometimes the most sensible
thing to do.

THE GREAT KIWI BAKE SWAP!
On Saturday the 24th of September 11am – 12.30pm we will be holding ‗The Great Kiwi Bake Swap‖ at Holy Cross Anglican Church in
Albany Village (entrance off Oteha Valley Rd extension). It seems
recently, that with pressures on the household budget many people
have returned to home baking to save some pennies and so they
know what is going into their products. We have some old favourite
family secrets that should be shared and others have mentioned the
same so the idea was dreamt up to get together and taste and swap
recipes. The idea is simple. Pick one favourite recipe, email that to us
at office@outreach.org.nz to register and then on the day bring some
of the cooked product for others to taste. For a coin donation people
can if they wish take a copy of the recipe home with them and so
increase their repertoire of home cooked goodies.
If there is sufficient interest we may produce a small booklet containing some of the recipes for people to purchase on the day.
So come and be part of a fun time and share secrets and gain some
others!
For more information contact the office on 415 8244

Police Report
This month has seen Greenhithe having a few
burglaries on Tauhinu Rd in which jewellery and
other goods were taken. In one of the burglaries
the burglars were disturbed by the alarm but still
managed to take quite a bit due to the delay in
the alarm. The victims did have a gate at their house which was not closed/locked. Had the gate
been locked this might have prevented them from choosing the house. So for all of you that do
have a gate and you are not at home, use it and lock it!!
A fairly new initiative is being launched on the Shore this month. It is called select a dna and for
more information you can go to the website www.selectadna.co.nz . So called "DNA kits" are
being sold in which items of value (incl items of sentimental value) can be marked with their own
specific "dna". This "dna" kit is enough to mark approximately 100 items like computers, tv's, etc
and the markings cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is almost impossible to remove it without
damaging the items. The items are marked with a dna specific to your goods and will be
registered as such in the database. Together with the SNAP initiative (where one can register
their items' serial numbers on a website for free and for easy access), the initiative will make it
a lot harder to on-sell stolen goods and they will be easily recognisable if come across during
search warrants, checks done on second hand stores, etc. The kits are approximately $100 and
the signage provided with the kits will tell any burglar that your items are marked which should
deter them from wanting to enter your property. The initiative has strong Police support and many
businesses and schools on the North Shore will be introduced to it over the next few weeks.
If you have any query or information about any crimes, please don't hesitate to contact me or if
you want to stay anonymous, you can give information to CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800-555 111.
I am still at the Greenhithe Firestation on Thursdays between 10.00 and 12.00 noon.

After two days of torrential rain Sunday 5th June put on a
beautiful show of sunshine for the community tree planting
at Oratau Reserve. The local residents who came along got
stuck into the job and the 247 native trees and plants were
planted in next to no time, giving everyone plenty of time to
enjoy their sausages and drinks. Huge thanks to the
families and adults who turned up and dug in the trees, to
Harcourts Real Estate Greenhithe for providing the
wonderful refreshments, and to Tim who manned the BBQ.
Many thanks also to Auckland Council for providing the trees, and to Brad and Liam who helped us to
mulch and barrow the wood chippings to the site during the stormy days leading up to the planting.
Phase one completed, only four more phases of weeding and planting to go!! Those living adjacent to
Oratau reserve please watch your mailboxes and the Greenhithe Website for news of our next
planting day in September, and if anyone wants to join in with the weeding on Tuesday afternoons
please contact us on keepinggreenhithegreen@gmail.com or call Monique on 413 9045. Keeping

The Ferry family, well experienced in the development and running of hospitals and
rest homes and who are well known in Greenhithe, have completed yet another
quality aged care hospital. Patrick Ferry House Aged Care Hospital which is
located on the Eastern border of Greenhithe, provides state of the art care that
caters to the needs of an increasingly ageing New Zealand population requiring
more than what at-home care can provide. Moving from independent living into full
care is a daunting prospect for many. Patrick Ferry House‘s staff—who are the heart
of the hospital—work hard to make the change less stressful. Many have worked for
the Ferry family for years. Most importantly they are with the residents for their
journey be it as a day stay, a week‘s recovery or longer. They genuinely care. The
residents‘ interests and needs are not squashed into a ―one size fits all‖ schedule.
Activities coordinators fill the days with many fun and interesting activities. Patrick
Ferry House welcomes the residents‘ families and friends, which is so handy if you
live in Greenhithe. To read more about this impressive local facility please go to
