Vaping laws welcomed

The Cancer Society is pleased new vaping laws will finally put an end to the marketing of highly addictive products to children and non-smokers.

From November 11, it will be illegal to sell vapes to under 18’s and advertising and sponsorship of vaping products will be banned altogether. Vaping will also be banned in legislated smoke-free areas such as:

- indoor workplaces
- cafes and pubs
- schools and early childhood centres
- public transport.

We think that everyone, especially parents need to be aware that vapes are now R18 and can’t be used in schools.

The Shallow Dive

The water looked deep
so
I dived on in
However my feet could
not
Touch the bottom

In over my head I
reached
For the surface
Only to discover floating discarded
shards
Of needles and bottles

I struggled alone with you for
help
shoveling up the pieces
piling high in the corner
like
a pile of discarded clothes

Once worn through were signs of a
struggle
that fought to get free of you
The choir of friends that sang of your
downfall
were too loud to hear your battle

There is no more color to add to the
pallor
Which has none to share
What were friends are no
longer
On a path of shared despair

Take the cup and fill it to
half
the pool that appeared shallow is now
full
in knowing that we are through

Contractors start the painstaking task this week of taking down the city's oldest wall- brick by brick.

The historic Bluestone wall off Albert St will be moved 1.5 metres to make way for the underground rail tunnels being built in Auckland's major infrastructure project, the City Rail Link.

Every brick will be labelled with a unique number so workers know how to rebuild the wall.

Expected to be reconstructed by 2023, it will be moved east with the station tunnel box running parallel.

The wall was constructed in 1880 from local material after the widening of Durham St.

Anne Hastie joined the Amitabha Hospice team as a volunteer nearly 6 years ago. After retiring she decided that she would spend some of her spare time volunteering when she saw the Amitabha Hospice advertisement needing volunteers to help people in their community.

Having completed the training course, attending weekly evening classes for 6 weeks, Anne now visits two Amitabha Hospice patients every week, spending a few hours chatting and helping them in many ways. She considers them both friends rather than her patients and says the ‘best aspect of volunteering is the friendship that is established - always people.’

Join our great team of volunteers today!
