Poll: Do you wash chicken before cooking?

Washing chicken doesn’t remove bacteria, it just spreads it around. The best way to protect your whānau from getting sick is to wash your hands and kitchen tools after touching raw chicken, and make sure you cook chicken all the way through. Juices
should run clear and there shouldn’t be any pink meat in the centre.

Happy Friday neighbours,

After living in emergency accommodation for nearly a year, Amanda Jackson-Brown​ will move into a new home next week – and she cannot wait.

The 51-year-old Christchurch woman will be one of the first tenants to move into Brougham Village, a new 90-home community housing project developed by Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust (OCHT).

Jackson-Brown, a former beauty therapist who has suffered from mental health and addiction issues, said moving into the one-bedroom unit would allow her to get her life back on track.

The Brougham St development is the largest ever commissioned by OCHT and replaces 89 social housing units demolished following the 2011 earthquakes.

Wow. This is what greeted me in my wee vege patch after a fortnight away on leave. My veges are thriving - all but one broccoli plant in amongst them all tho, so I thought to give them a bloody good soak before I tackled the "invaders" today. I wonder what they are?
Only thing I can think of is the mulch I threw over the patch last winter made up of oak leaves from the park across the road.......? Dig them back in or put to compost? What say you Discerners?

Hey neighbours,

How's this for some typical Kiwi heroics in a time of need?

Builder Cheyenne Salter was working on a roof in Christchurch's Port Hills when he spotted flames heading towards a house on Monday.

He raced to the property and joined a group of other tradies who used buckets and a sprinkler to tackle the “tornadoes of fire” heading towards them.

At one point, Salter was in a pool filling buckets when he had to fully submerge to escape the scalding heat.

Popular Christchurch bar Viaduct finally returns after post-quake hiatus

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

The latest addition to The Terrace in central Christchurch may be familiar to a few.

The latest addition to The Terrace in central Christchurch may be familiar to a few.

After being closed for nearly a decade due to earthquake damage and the city's uncertain hospitality scene, Viaduct reopened at its new upstairs location on Oxford Tce alongside the Avon River in December.

The original bar was opened by Jonny Botherway in 1997 on Oxford Tce – then known as ‘The Strip' – and served as a popular after-work drinks and weekend space along with adjoining venue di lusso​, also owned by Botherway. The area is now known as The Terrace.

Have you been to the new Viaduct yet? Did you ever go to the old one?

After finding a faded $5 note in the sea and selling it on Trade Me for $1000, a Selwyn youngster has fulfilled his dream of owning a motorbike – just like his dad.

The extraordinary chain of events began when Zayne Hinton found the cash floating beside him at Christchurch's Sumner Beach.

The 7-year-old grabbed it and while heading home, his dad, Brad Hinton, suggested they try and sell it online.

They hoped they might be able to double it with a $10 bid, but as the days went by the offers flooded in. Read more here.
