Men's Health - Prostate Cancer
Good afternoon Neighbourly subscribers. I want to draw your attention to the disease of prostate cancer and the value of having a plan to protect yourselves from an unwanted surprise. I am speaking as a survivor of this disease which on average kills 650 men in New Zealand every year and that is a waste - that's right, nearly 2 men every day will perish and I would like to do something about it.
MEN: Let's talk with you first - if you are 50 years of age and don't have a plan to keep yourself tested and free from having a nasty surprise land upon you, the time is right now for you to visit your GP and arrange for a testing program to be established. You owe it to yourself, your family, and your work - don't be one of the 3500 to suddenly find themselves with the "bug". get on the front foot and start developing a simple plan with your GP, you will be so pleased you made that step forward. I have attached a notice for a public meeting on Wednesday, 26th May (next week) to be held in "The Woolshed" at Te Awa Lifecare Village, 1866 Cambridge Road, Cambridge @ 7.00pm.
LADIES: if your partner doesn't have a plan in place to fight prostate cancer should the "bug" arrive, right now is the time for you to rope him in and come with you to an evening with Dr. Shane Reti next week. Details are set out in a flyer attached to this letter. Don't delay as prostate cancer is the enemy of the male species and our nation cannot afford to lose 13 good men every week of the year when the chances of survival are greatly enhanced by agreeing a plan of monitoring your partner's health. Read the fact sheet I have attached to this noticeboard and if you have any queries please give me a call - 027 293 9632. The "bug" visited me, but I had a plan and today I am a survivor of a grade 4 cancer and I am committed to helping as many males as I can.
LADIES & GENTS: Don't delay, come to this meeting next week and learn how to be a survivor - with a simple plan in place your chances of a normal life are greatly enhanced. Give me a call or I will see you at "The Woolshed" out at 1866 Cambridge Road next Wednesday. Kind regards and best wishes from Doug Lineham, Fairburn Place, Cambridge. 07 823 2506 or 027 293 9632.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
31.9% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
68.1% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Poll: How are your manu skills?
Waikato MP Tim van de Molen could have inadvertently been gifted his new election campaign slogan after taking out the Waikato Times political manu challenge.
Guest judge Alia McQueen said the National Party MP showed loads of “style and energy” as he out-bombed his parliamentary colleagues at Saturday’s impromptu manu challenge at Wellington Street Beach in Hamilton.
How are your manu skills? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
