Grooves up or down? Decking debate settled

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

The great kiwi deck, every home should have one. But there's a decking debate raging in DIY and Reno circles: Should the grooves go up or down?
We think we've settled the argument here.

"Vaccination Rollout Interest Registration

Register your interest in being apart of the Vaccine Rollout.

A key area within this programme is focused on the vaccinator workforce – the aim is to ensure that COVID-19 vaccinations do not impact on the core health and disability system. The Ministry will be working closely with DHBs and providers to support them to bring on appropriately qualified workers to be a part of the vaccinator workforce.

We are now looking to update the surge workforce database to capture offers of support from people willing to be part of this workforce so that we can link people with opportunities as they become available. By following the link below, you can register your interest to support the roll out of the vaccine: zfrmz.com.au...

Thank you again in advance for your offer of support.

Ngā mihi nui,
Anna Clark
Deputy Director-General, Health Workforce"

Gathering together during the holidays can lead us to notice changes in our loved ones and their needs, especially if there has been some time between visits.

Starting a conversation about care isn’t always easy but like many things, sometimes you just need to take the first step.

To help nurture those conversations, we invite you to our Care Centre Open Days at your local Ryman village. A tour will give you first-hand experience of our village communities and the exceptional care we provide. Care options include the extra support of a serviced apartment, resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care.

It comes from members of the Jehovah Witness, the latest being from 'Kelly' of Box 9081, Bell Block. You are entitled to your views and beliefs, but DON'T try stuffing them down my throat! If I want religion (and I defintely don't!!!!) then I know where to go to find it. This is as bad as the door knocking, cease and desist!

Thanks to the brave and quick actions of these members of the public (pictured centre and centre right) – an offender who was trying to make a getaway after stealing money from a Henderson dairy was stopped and swiftly arrested. 👏

Earlier this month, one of the owners of the store was working behind the counter when a man entered the store and demanded money.

He walked behind the counter to the cash register and took a large sum of money, but the owner very quickly managed to activate the anti-theft smoke canon and the offender fled the shop.

Seeing what happened, the members of the public chased the offender and caught him, holding him until Police arrived soon afterwards.

He was then arrested and taken into custody.

A 40-year-old man has been charged with theft and was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court last week.

The money taken was returned to the dairy owners (pictured on the left), who were very grateful to those who stepped in to help.

A great result and example of people going above and beyond to look out for people in their local community.

She had written various short stories over the years and they were quietly gathered together by her daughter and secretly made into a book by PublishMe as a Christmas present. What a great idea! If you have a relative in a similar position, has maybe written something he or she hasn't the patience to publish, why not take away the pain and do it for them? We can get old typed or handwritten manuscripts into a printable format, as was the case here, so all you'd have to do is to get the pages to us. If you're in New Plymouth, we could even pick them up from you.
Don't wait until your relative has passed on to publish their book - let them experience the joy of holding it in their hands. Get in touch today and we can discuss the next steps. You can reach us at www.publishme.co.nz... or email lel@businesswritingservices.co.nz or giles@businesswritingservices.co.nz or phone on (06) 7530021. Chat soon! Lel Scott.
