A caring community is one that’s there for us in good times, and in our times of need. That’s the community Hoko and Glenda found at Diana Isaac Retirement Village in Christchurch.

“The staff are absolutely amazing,” explains Glenda. “They go out of their way to speak to you, to make sure you’re ok.”
Hoko and Glenda feel very fortunate for the support they received when Hoko experienced some health issues. It wasn’t just the village staff who provided support, the whole community rallied around them.
“When I got sick the community itself looked after me,” Hoko explains.
“I can’t speak highly enough of the staff here,” Glenda says.

Boat, sail and all parts have been nicely cleaned after each session, well looked after and always stored under cover in a garage.
Details:
- This boat/sail combination was used by us and one former owner at Wakatere Club and won many races and was successful at other competitions.
- Sail # NZL4431. Far East Optimist, has had decent use, but still in very sound, good condition with a few scratches/nicks consistent with use at training/racing regattas etc.
- Yellow foils in good condition
- Black/Gold spars also in good condition
- All lines/ropes replaced as necessary etc
- Comes with hull, spars, foils, beach trolley, measurement book/papers and everything shown in photos
- Fibreglass rudder/tiller
- Fibreglass centre board
- Comes with full complimentary rigging/tuning session, if desired!
- Inspection most welcome (and almost prefer it so people know what they’ve getting).
- Price $1,100 or nearest offer. Compare with current boats on trade me. I think this is a very fair price for the boat which I’m happy to sell it to a young passionate sailor.
- Photos attached and more available to interested parties
Ready to practice, learn to sail, race, and have a lot of fun on the water. This is ideal for the start of sailing season, or for Christmas.
Check and see us, sailboat is stored in Auckland-Devonport.

Ingredients
1 kg Chicken pieces, including thighs, drums, wings
2 cloves Garlic
5 cm Fresh ginger, peeled
1 med Onion, peeled and cut into quaters
1 Tbsp Oil
1 large Lemon, or lime, freshly juiced
1 Tbsp Cumin seeds
1 pinch Cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp Tomato paste
½ cup Cream, or yoghurt
Directions
Remove skin from the chicken if you prefer.
Place garlic, ginger and onion in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Add 150ml water to make into a thin puree.
Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan. When hot, add the chicken pieces and brown on both sides. While cooking season with salt.
When the chicken is nicely browned, squeeze over the lemon juice and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Add the cumin seeds, cayenne and tomato paste.
Pour in the garlic, onion and ginger puree, cover the frying pan with a lid and simmer for 5 minutes.
Turn the chicken. Stir in the cream or yoghurt. Add enough water to cover the chicken, cover and continue to cook on a low heat for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Cooking time will depend on the cut of chicken you have used and whether it is on the bone.
Check for seasoning — you may need more salt or cayenne if you like it hot.
Remove from the heat and rest with the lid on for 5-10 minutes. The chicken will keep cooking in this time and will be more tender when you come to eat it.
Serve with rice and steamed seasonal vegetables.

Outbreaks have been declared in Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. Thousands of people have been affected, and many thousands more are at risk as health authorities and medical professionals race to prevent the spread and impact of this disease.
Red Cross volunteers are working closely with Ministries of Health to support both response and prevention activities. Hundreds of people have already visited the mobile vaccination site at Samoa Red Cross.
You can help too. Donate to the Pacific Disaster Fund now to support this emergency response.

A massive thank you to Lee from PRS for taking our reception, admin and clinic support workers through basic life saving skills last night.
We learnt lots and had a fabulous time brushing up on our skills that we hope we’ll never need.
We have recovered this dog wanding the street in Eban Ave. It was found on a lead yesterday. Does anyone know the owner?
