This is a cracker story....
Have you been out to the Cape Campbell lighthouse since the quake?
The legacy of people taken into state care who suffered neglect and abuse is a stain on our country’s history. Over the next three years, the Royal Commission will listen to stories about the experiences of people in state care and examine ways to stop any further abuse.

Before that process can begin, the Terms of Reference to define the scope and purpose of the Inquiry need to be set. Sir Anand would like to hear your views on the draft Terms of Reference so we can work together to make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

Doug just called us from Springlands to say a kererū (wood pigeon) has crashed into the side of his sun room and died. Very sad.
Doug has never seen a kererū in town before and wonders if anyone else has noticed them about?

It’s worth remembering your pets when you’re thinking about emergency preparation and including them in your household plan. Keep a copy of vaccination certificates in your grab bag; have a cage or a dog lead and a little food. Take your pets with you if you need to evacuate and think about how you’d take care of them.
It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 it’s 1 in 2.
Having a fall can be devastating and can often result in a broken bone, which is painful and can take a long time to heal stopping us from doing the things we love.
The good news is that many falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer aims to help reduce the risk of having a fall so we can live an independent and active life.
Having good strength and balance is key to staying on your feet. You can find approved community strength and balance classes in your area and practical information, advice, and resources on reducing the risk of falls.
Live Stronger for Longer and join the movement today.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQSC, MOH and your local community health providers.
