When Erich Krogmann started the Food and Beverage Level 2 qualification, he had to learn how to balance study with a night job and a young family, but his main challenge came in the form of his hearing disability.
Erich says he thinks heβs inspired other people with a disability to take on training.

Yesterday afternoon between 4pm and 5pm a dog strayed onto my 27yr old sonβs property in Dunbeath Cres. Our gorgeous elderly cat was sleeping on the stones in her front garden when a dog grabbed her back end, thrashed her about, breaking her back, crushing her pelvis and destroying her back legs. Needless to say our darling had to be put down. We are devastated. This was a big dog with a wide jaw. (Puncture marks told the story). Could all dog owners please make sure that your property is secured so your dog canβt wander on their own. If children walk through a gate, double check with them that it is shut properly and the dog canβt get out. To all cat owners, love them dearly, after all, they may not be able to make it back in through your door.

Deanna was born in Tuatapere and moved to Arrowtown in her teenage years where she completed her high school days at Wakatipu High School.
Now living in Invercargill and married to a local farmer, she is proud mum to four children: three teenagers and one at primary school.
Most of Deannaβs working career has been office work but when her youngest child started school five years ago she decided to follow her passion which is in Aged Care. βIβm really focussed on discovering what the residents are interested in and how theyβd like to spend their time,β she says.
Deanna is a fan of holding brainstorming sessions to discuss what activities they really enjoy and forms a plan based on that, saying βWeβre doing all sorts of things from Casino Afternoons, a Bowls Tournament, Itβs In the Bag, Round the World Travelβ¦ even an Ice Cream Trolley.β
Deanna has decided she will pursue her career even further and she is about to start Diversional Therapy training.
Her main aim is to bring fun and joy to daily activities through encouragement and support. βIβm big on talking and encouraging people to open up and get to know each other. Opening up hearts and having a good time!β says Deanna.
What a pleasure to meet Hayley Parsons of Clarks Beach, Auckland. She and husband Chris relocated this huge three-storey villa from Palmerston North to Auckland, and project managed the rebuild of Huntly House from London. Wonderful house, wonderful history.
