Missing war medal reunited with family
The missing medal of a late war veteran has been returned to his family.
An 11-year-old girl found the war medal on the footpath in Titirangi and handed the treasure to police.
Massey Community Constable Mike Nolan began searching for the owner of the medal bearing the name E W Simon.
No burglaries had been reported so he turned to Medals Reunited NZ for help.
Enter Ian D. Maryn, a retired NZ Army Major.
Maryn discovered the medal belonged to war veteran Edward Simon, who had died in 1993.
More enquiries found Simon's stepson Malcolm, a Johnsonville resident, and the medal was returned to the delighted family.
Don’t Wash Your Hair In The Shower
It’s so good to finally get a “Health Warning” that is useful.
It involves the shampoo when it runs down your body when you shower with it… a warning to us all!”
I don’t know why I didn’t figure this out sooner!
I use shampoo in the shower when I wash my hair.
The shampoo runs down my whole body and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: “For Extra Body & Volume”
No wonder I have been gaining weight!
Well I got rid of that shampoo.
I am going to start showering with Dawn dishwashing Soap instead.
The label reads: “Dissolves Fat” that is otherwise difficult to remove.
Problem Solved✅
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
