Winter has arrived, and with it comes waiting rooms full of patients after a quick fix for their coughs and colds.
But studies say New Zealand, one of the highest users of antibiotics in the Western world, is recording an increasing number of cases of antimicrobial resistance - or illnesses where antibiotics do not work any more.

To help, New Zealand Red Cross provided $6.9 million to 179 Canterbury schools, designed to improve the well-being of children by funding a range of school programmes, events and initiatives.
Find out the difference this funding made to both the schools and students in the sixth of our 10 Good Stories videos. These videos show all the ways Red Cross helped one in five Cantabrians recover from the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, thanks to the generous donations of people from New Zealand and beyond.

The railway was opened with a great flourish on November 17, 1875; a provincial holiday was declared, and there was a civic luncheon and a ball in the evening. However as the Opaoa River had yet to be bridged, the line ended in a swamp, not at Blenheim. The bridge was eventually built and the line extended to Blenheim station in 1880 ......... click on the link to read the full story.

Fluoride is a drug and we should not be medicated against our will through our drinking water. Chronic intake actually has a detrimental effect on tooth enamel and to bones causing among other things, mottled teeth, brittle bones and joint pain. It negatively effects the thyroid gland and can cause permanent damage to the digestive system and nervous system. Even if it's in trace amounts, it accumulates in the body, we cannot filter it out easily and some people drink a lot of water because it is supposed to be good for us. We should be entitled to uncontaminated drinking water. To see how toxic it is, just look up the Material Safety Data Sheet for Sodium Fluoride. An extract is attached. Just wondering what other locals think about it.
