Welcome to the
TAMAHERE VISTA
December 2020
Every year we sound astonished that Christmas is in so many days /sleeps
/shopping days etc. But this year seems a little different, and many people
have been hoping the year would finish, since about April. The year has been
tough on so many. Let’s try and consciously make this a Christmas to
remember. One where people come first, not expensive gifts, but let’s try to
make it one of peace and just spending time with those we love.
Welcome to the people who have come into our village in the past few weeks. I trust that you will
soon see past the cartons and muddle. This is a fantastic place to live in, and we warmly welcome
you here and trust you too will soon settle and enjoy your new home.
With time on their hands, the holiday season is often a time when scammers are more active and the
Police tell us to expect an increase in fraud. Page 7 carries an article on Scammers, whether their
efforts are by phone, email or in person. Its well worth a read.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to all residents who have
encouraged and supported me as a new Editor of the Vista. My good friend and former Editor, Jean
Robertson has continued to share her knowledge and wisdom with me, (her apprentice) – thank you
Jean for all your support. I want also to thank all those who so willingly give of their time to
contribute material for the Vista; to Karen, and Mary – to Clive, Ann and Helen, to Len, (our very own
Bard),to Jill, Anand, Trevor, and our Book Club friends.
I especially want to thank Louis and David. This year has been like no other – a new building project
completed, under budget and on time in a Covid-ridden year! Your support and encouragement of
us all is most appreciated, and we wish you and your families a safe and restful holiday.
To you all, our readers, contributors, Board members, management and staff, our
Residents’ Association Committee members – whether you are near or far – thank
you for your part in making this place so special, and for bringing us all safely to this
end of 2020. We pray a safe and very happy and blessed Christmas to you all.
This is the last “newsy” edition of the Vista for 2020. There will be a copy prepared for January but
it will be simply a calendar of activities for that month – with any particular news items on the reverse
side. The next fuller issue will be at the end of January for February when “all things are go”!

VILLAGE MANAGER’S COLUMN
Quote of the Month:
“One of the most glorious messes in the world, is the mess
created in the living room on Christmas morning. Don’t clean
it up too quickly.”
(Andy Rooney)
New Sales
The following Harakeke apartments have all been sold and the residents will
be moving in on the following dates –
Harakeke 19 Rosemary Pike 27 November
Harakeke 30 Jan Law 11 January
Harakeke 33 Rev Chee Keong Yong 27 November
Gardening
Welcome to Sarah Thomassen who has joined our gardening team as a fourth gardener.
Please give us some time for the team to catch up with tasks they have been unable to undertake in
the past, due to Covid -19 and staffing issues. We will complete villa gardens on a schedule and that
should get everything tidied up before Christmas.
We are hopeful that the new lawnmower with a catcher attachment will solve the issue of lawn
clippings blowing into your patios and doorways. Please bear with the gardeners as they go through
the reallocation of duties. If you have any specific concerns about your villa garden, please come to
me direct.
Cafe
The new menu has now been out for a couple of weeks and I have heard great things from residents
about the quality of the food being served. Our turnover has increased with more meals being
served. The Café will try fine dining once a fortnight rather than weekly in response to residents’
feedback. I would like to thank all residents for their support of the Café.

Bottle Tops for Kidney Kids
Lions Clubs collect aluminium bottle tops and tear tabs to help fund dialysis treatment
for kids.
1 bottle cap raises enough money to pay for 1 minute of dialysis, and the minimum a
child needs is 30 minutes.
I have a friend who can pass any that you can collect on to Lions
- so instead of adding to the landfill, why not collect all those
wine bottle tops and tear tabs from cans. Please deliver to Villa 98.
Many thanks.

NEWS FROM OUR RESIDENTS’ COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON
Firstly, I would like to welcome all the people who have recently moved into the
village - both into villas and apartments. It is great to see you participating in the
activities.
The committee meets on the second Monday of each month, and at our November
meeting there were a number of considerations discussed, some of which I would like to share with
you.
• Activity Costs - A few days ago you will have received a flyer about the way we cover the costs
associated with activities and hospitality generally, and asking you for your suggestions about
how we continue to do this. Thank you to those people who have already completed and
returned their responses to the questionnaire and, if you haven’t returned yours, please do so
as soon as possible. You will be advised of the outcome once this has been finalised.
• Bus Trip - This is being arranged for February 16th 2021 and the venue is Waihi Beach, with lunch
at the RSA. Please mark your calendars now and more information will be available in January.
The hire of the bus is free for those who choose to join us. However as interested residents book
for the trip, we ask for a $20.00 deposit (this makes a commitment to participate). The deposit
is then used as payment for the lunch.
• Happy Hour - The intention of this time is to get together socially, to enjoy conversations around
the tables and to hear the latest village news which David shares with us. As the village has grown
the Community Centre becomes very full and there is insufficient room for any entertainment to
take place.
• Activities - If any resident has an idea for some form of entertainment to take place, it is
suggested that they speak with Karen (our Activities Co-ordinator, who meets with committee
members each month) or you can contact me on 856 2973.
• Christmas Day Lunch - For residents who are in the village on Christmas Day
and would like to get together with other residents, a lunch in the Café will be
available at 12.30. Close family members or a friend are able to join them. This is
arranged by committee members with our kitchen staff. Bookings are required
by 30th November at the latest and the cost is $27.00 per person. Myself and
my Auckland family will be the hosts to serve you and wash up!! Bookings
should be made through Jean Robertson, Villa 54, phone 021 180 5681.
• Chaplains - As there will be changes to the Chaplaincy staff from February 2021, we will arrange
an opportunity for residents to thank Chaplain Clive in January and to welcome Rev. Dr Susan
Thompson early in February 2021.
2020 has been a year of challenges - not just here in the village but world-wide. I cannot conclude
without thanking so many people who worked hard at keeping us safe here. What a management
team we have - CEO Louis Fick, General Manager Support Services, David McGeorge and General
Manager Care, Em.
Did any other village arrange for a supermarket to be set up in just a few days? Thank you so much
to Karen, Kay and Carolyn (staff members) and the five committee members who were on duty six
3
days a week (until the Chairperson fell and broke her hip!!) Residents were waiting each day for the
daily flyer, which Jean Robertson and Carole Fleming prepared.
The committee tries hard to respond to your concerns as quickly as possible – we are your elected
representatives.
Holy Spirit, we come in wonder and marvel at the miracle of faith
that holds us close to the story of angels and shepherds,
a manger and stabled beasts:
We rejoice with the gift-bearing Magi at finding a child,
and cradle him in our heart with joy.
Stay with us Lord.
(Written by Rhonda Gibbison of Hamilton, 2006)
Mary West
Residents’ Committee Chairperson
FROM THE CHAPLAIN’S DESK
Once again, the Advent Season seems to have crept up on me, under the radar, so
to speak. Is it because 2020 has been such a strange year, with Covid and all its
accompanying challenges?
I’m reminded of how you, Lord Jesus, came into our world on that first Christmas.
You came when all was quiet and dark. Also under the radar. Most people had no
inkling of your arrival.
So what’s the real meaning of Christmas? It can be hard to see past all the holiday festivities: the
decorations and food, the parties and presents, friends and family. Perhaps the true meaning of
Advent is about Immanuel, God with us? The babe of Bethlehem, fully human, yet also fully God. I
don’t really grasp the meaning of this, Lord, but I like the idea of you coming as one of us. Not a
distant God but one in human form who understands our struggles and fears; one that I can
approach at any time.
You also promise your people that you will always be with us, until the end of time. What a wonderful
promise! Help me, Lord, to focus on these truths this Christmas: that you are God with us; the Saviour
who will never leave nor forsake us.
Thank you for coming to us on that very first Christmas. Thank you for
changing our world forever.
Wishing you all a merry, blessed Christmas season.

NEWS FROM KAREN
The old year has nearly been and gone – good riddance some say! However we still
have a few weeks left with lots of interesting things awaiting all of us.
Wednesday 2 December - East Side Singers will be in the chapel (several of our own
residents have been a part of this choir in the past!!!)
Monday 7th December - Barbara Durrant will be in the Community Centre 10.30 – 2pm selling
jewellery.
Wednesday 9 December - Residents’ Christmas dinner – it’s not too late now to
book for this - either with me or at the cafe
Monday 14 December – an outing to the Olde Creamery Café, leaving at 10.30.
Book with Karen.
Wednesday 23 December - Happy Hour from 3.30pm.
I had also planned an outing to Donovan’s Chocolate Factory /Café. I remember how popular this
visit was in previous years, buying chocolate for Christmas gifts, and especially those Hot
Chocolates!! However, this business had to close during the lockdown – another casualty of this
very difficult time.
Planning is well ahead for two big happenings in 2021!
For the first of these - check out Mary’s column about the coach trip to Waihi Beach. Mark the date
on your calendar now - 16th February 2021. Lunch will be at the Waihi RSA. A special day out is
guaranteed!
The second is a “gala/ fair” to involve all the areas of the Tamahere Eventide complex on Saturday
April 10th 2021. There will be many ways to be involved in these exciting plans so keep this date free
too. There will be much more information about this in the New Year.
Shopping Trips
Please note carefully the change to the shopping trip to New World usually on Wednesday 9
December – this is now on Monday 7 December. The other dates for shopping trips in December
are marked on the calendar at the back of the Vista. Trips to Chartwell will continue on Tuesdays.
Days the Café will be Closed
The Café will be closed on Christmas Day (the Christmas Meal however will still take place). Watch
out in the weekly flyers for details on other days that the Café will also be closed over the holiday
period.

Joy Cowley is a well known and loved writer of books not only for children,
but of prayer. Her books of original psalms are widely used. She is a wife,
mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and retreat facilitator.
I came across this reflection that Joy published recently. It speaks to me, and
maybe to you also, especially as we think back on what this year has been for
us, and for our country. (Carole)
Blessings of Covid-19
In the spiritual realm, crucifixions and resurrections are not separate and, as Jesus demonstrated,
what is resurrected is always greater than what has died. We have all experienced this way of growth
in some form or other. We need to be emptied in order to be filled.
Ignatian teacher Margaret Silf writes in her book “The Way of Wisdom” that when the ground gets
hard, it needs to be broken by the plough before new growth can happen. That image works for me.
But what happens when the plough upturns a nation? A world?
Before Covid-19 we experienced this movement with the Christchurch massacre. We were stunned.
How could something like this happen in our country? Then we reacted with a flood of love that took
us to unprecedented newness. From that horrifying crucifixion came a resurrection that brought
growth to us and to the world.
So how does that relate to Covid-19? Admittedly, we are still in the tomb where the pandemic is
concerned. We wait with uncertainty. But if I put my head out to look over the past year, I see
indicators of new growth.
Here is my blessing list. I hope you can pause a moment to reflect on yours.
Covid-19 is a leveller. It does not distinguish between countries, cultures, rank or class. The teaching
in that is a blessing.
We have been blessed by wise and caring leaders who have been tireless in their efforts to control a
dangerous situation. There was no Covid textbook. They had to create systems of protection for us,
systems that worked. We continue to be grateful.
There were blessings in lock-down. As a nation, we seemed to come closer in separation. We were
aware of our neighbours and seeds of kindness grew and flowered in surprising ways.
Lockdown brought time for reflection, a time to come home to ourselves and our values.
We became more responsible. We felt more real. During the lockdown, we could smile as animals
and birds roamed free while we sat in cages. The world seemed cleaner and fresher without us. I
remembered Mark Twain’s words, “Man is the highest creation. Now, I wonder who found that out?”
And I felt the blessing of humility.
It has certainly been an extraordinary year. No matter how we view the effect of the pandemic, we
know that we are not the same as we were in November 2019.
The economy may not be in good shape, but we are. We have grown in many ways.
Please, God, may that growth continue.

What does Fraud look like?
With the holidays, and more downtime it brings for people with idle hands, we have been
alerted to the fact that we can expect a highly likely increase in fraud.
Fraud has many faces – whether it looks like an email, phone call, or even someone you know,
fraudsters are becoming cleverer and attacks harder to spot. So I found some advice that I
want to share with you.
Scammers can pose as love interests, long lost relatives, or even a phone company
representative in disguise. But they all have a common goal – to trick you into handing over
personal details or money. So, NEVER give your personal information (like a password or PIN
number) over the phone. If you are unsure, hang up, and call the official number for the
company and check.
A Phisher is always trying to trick you into clicking on a malicious link in an email or website,
that enables them to steal your money and information. Eg you might receive an email telling
you that you have won a prize – and to ‘just click here’ to collect it. DON’T – always delete it –
never click it.
An opportunist is someone perhaps near to you who tries to trap you into giving them your
money, bank card or pin number (eg borrowing money for a house, to repay a loan, because
they have lost their job etc). If you are concerned about this, check with your lawyer or bank.
Above all, please just be alert for any of these fraudsters. We want everyone to be safe.
- With thanks to the Taranaki Savings Bank
There were two elderly people living in an aged care home. He was a widower and she a widow.
They had known one another for a number of years. One evening there was a community dinner
in the big activity centre. The pair were seated at the same table, across from one another. As the
meal went on, he made a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered up his courage to ask
her: “Will you marry me?”
After a dramatic pause and several seconds ‘careful consideration,’ she answered: “Yes. Yes, I
will”.
The meal ended and with a few more pleasant exchanges and they went to their respective places.
The next morning, he was troubled. “Did she say ‘yes’ or did she say ‘no’?”
He couldn’t remember. Try as he would, he just could not recall. Not even a faint memory. With
trepidation, he went to the telephone and called her.
First, he explained to her that he didn’t remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the
lovely evening past. As he gained a little more courage, he then inquired of her: “When I asked if
you would marry me, did you say ‘Yes’ or did you say ‘No’?”
He was delighted to hear her say: “Why, I said, ‘Yes, yes I will’ and I meant it with all my heart”.
She continued: “And I am so glad that you called, because I couldn’t remember who had asked
me”.

FROM ANAND, OUR REHAB CO-ORDINATOR
Dehydration in the Elderly
Why are seniors at higher risk for dehydration?
There are a number of causes why older adults are more at risk of getting dehydrated in the hot
weather. As we get older, the body’s ability to conserve and regulate fluid is reduced. This can make
it more difficult to adapt to things like changing temperatures and rise in body heat from exercise.
Particularly in the summer weather.
In addition to that, the ability to be aware of and respond to thirst is reduced as we age. As a result,
older people do not feel thirst as easily as younger people do. These factors, combined with certain
medical conditions and medications, can affect a senior’s ability to retain much-needed fluids.
What are the signs of dehydration in older adults?
When you’re exercising or active outdoors, be aware of the signs of dehydration in the elderly.
Sometimes they might be slight, but if you notice any of these signs it’s important to take a break,
cool off and to drink more water.
• Cramping in limbs
• Headaches
• Crying but with few or no tears
• Weakness, general feeling of being unwell
• Little or no urination
• Dark or amber-coloured urine
• Dry skin that stays folded when pinched
• Irritability, sleepiness, dizziness, or confusion
• Low blood pressure
• Rapid breathing and heartbeat
• Weak pulse
• Cold hands and feet
If you think that you or someone else is dehydrated, seek immediate medical attention.

How do you prevent dehydration in seniors?
Just about everyone knows how important drinking water is for stopping dehydration in older
adults. However, it can still be tough to drink enough. We’ve compiled a list of easy steps you can
take to quench your thirst and avoid serious health issues.
• Drink water before, during and after activities
o Active people should drink at least 2 -3 cups of liquids 1 to 2 hours
before outdoor activities so you have some fluids already inside
you.
o While exercising and moving around outside, you should consume
one to one and a half cups of fluid every 10 to 15 minutes you are
outside.
o To replace what you have lost when you are finished outside drink
about 2- 3 cups. Just because you’re done exercising doesn’t mean
you can’t feel the effects of dehydration.
• Drink more water in general
o When you increase your water intake consistently your body becomes better at
managing fluid levels. But remembering to drink enough can be a challenge but by
having chilled water that’s always available, staying hydrated is much easier.
• Don’t wait to hydrate
o Feeling parched is usually the first sign of a hydration issue. But because it can take
longer for seniors to feel thirsty, you may already be further along the path to
dehydration than you realize. Right when you feel the first sign of thirst, get some
water in you right away.
• Grab a bottle of water with you when you go out
o The easiest way to stay hydrated is to always have water by your side. Before you go
outside fill up a water bottle. (Reusable bottles are so much better for the
environment). Make sure you don’t take a bottle that is too heavy because you’ll need
to carry it around outside.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages before exercise
o While they are liquids, alcohol coffee and teas are bad for dehydration in seniors.
These fluids tend to pull water from the body and promote dehydration.
• Find an exercise buddy
o Many times, it’s hard to notice when you’re displaying signs of dehydration like
irritability, dizziness, or confusion. By having an exercise buddy you can keep an eye
on each other’s wellbeing. (Not to mention make sure you have proper form.)
• Take a break
o If you feel yourself slowing down or weakening, STOP. Take a seat before you
overheat. It’s important not to push yourself too hard. There’s no harm in pausing
your fitness to catch your breath and take a sip of water.

11NEWS FROM THE BOOK GROUP
These were the books we reviewed in our November meeting:
The Boy Between Worlds –Annejet van der Zijl (Beatrice)
A tangled love story of an adventurous Dutch girl and her bi-
racial lover, who left their horrified two families to lead a new
life together. They lived happily till the war changed everything
and the familiar story of incarceration and loss followed.
A moving tragic tale – well worth a read.
The Life and Times - A Family Biography – Kingsley Field (Eileen)
My grandfather John Beach arrived in New Zealand in the 1800s. Migrants had no idea that
the land was virginal – England had been farmed for centuries. There are a number of
interesting photographs throughout the book which illustrate all the developments that took
place. Migrants went to the colonies as the economy in England was dismal – so they
migrated with hope of a better life in New Zealand.
Can I Give Him My Eyes – An autobiography by Richard Moore (Kay)
The story of a ten year old who was shot by an English soldier during the year of Bloody
Sunday in 1972 in Northern Ireland. An inspiring life story of a singular man and founder of
the charity “Children in Crossfire”.
In the Midst of Life – Jennifer Worth (Gladys)
This writer also wrote “Call the Midwife”. This book is mainly about end-of-life situations and
how they have changed over 50 years. Illustrated by experiences of patients she had
nursed. Interesting to read and includes her own philosophy and views on euthanasia.
Toby Jug – Denis O’Connor (Isabelle)
Autobiographical – his life between two Christmases in a stone cottage in Northumberland.
Toby Jug is a small dog with whom he shares his life. He is Head of Department in a College
of Education and is himself studying for a Master’s Degree.
Very attuned to nature and wildlife, he restores a horse that was badly treated with love
and patience. He was also interested in cooking.
One Plus One JoJo Moyes (Colleen)
Jess’s husband has vanished, her stepson is being bullied and her maths-whizz daughter has
a chance at a valuable prize which would guarantee her further education.

12News from the Hair Salon
After 15 years here, Sue James is about to retire as one of our Tamahere
hairdressers. I met today with Kendra Steed, who is to step into Sue’s
shoes from next week. Carol will still be here Mondays and Tuesdays, and
Kendra will be here Wednesdays, Thursdays and probably Friday mornings.
Kendra comes from Colorado in the US, and is married to a Kiwi – they have
5 children. She has been here 14 years, and been hairdressing for 18 years.
Kendra will do cuts for men and women, blow dries, colours, foils, perms,
as well as shampoo and sets. Pop in and say hello when you are passing.
