Palmerston North/Manawatū is already using water stored for summer

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Palmerston North and Manawatū are drying out at a time when it should be lush, prompting fears of a repeat of last year's scorching start to summer.

The city's last significant rain was a month ago, when 11.4 millimetres fell on September 25. Just a few drops more had fallen since.

Palmerston North and Manawatū are drying out at a time when it should be lush, prompting fears of a repeat of last year's scorching start to summer.

The city's last significant rain was a month ago, when 11.4 millimetres fell on September 25. Just a few drops more had fallen since.

In the city's Turitea water catchment, only 22mm had fallen in 60 days, the lowest for the same period in eight years. City council transport and infrastructure manager Robert van Bentum said the dam had stopped overflowing, which was unusual for the time of year, and the city had already used 12 per cent of the water that would normally be stored for summer.

Unless the forecast rain eventuated, it would be considering water use restrictions in early November. He said the city was likely to have the benefit of one or two more bores operating this summer to help even out supply. However, Horizons Regional Council imposed limits on how much water the city could draw. Read more

I’m a student nutritionist urgently requiring an infant (aged 0-2) as my last practice client to fulfill the final year clinical practice requirements of my nutritional science diploma through the Naturopathic College of NZ.

What’s involved: You’ll be given a confidential client registration form and 3-day food & symptom diary to complete before seeing me for an initial consultation, after which you’ll be sent an individualised health plan once my tutor has approved it. I will need to see them again for a follow-up consultation a few weeks later, resulting in a second individualised plan to further support you in reaching your goals. All this is free of charge.

They might have health complaints you’d like to address, or just want to investigate how their wellbeing could be further improved through nutrition and lifestyle from a holistic perspective. I have experience with a wide range of common complaints such as eczema, recurrent infections, low immunity, allergies, digestive problems, anxiety, low energy, sleep issues, skin/hair/nail problems, stress, hormonal imbalances, toxin retention, slow healing, thrush etc. If you’re interested in your infant being a practice client free of charge end of October/early November, please send me a private message via neighbourly or txt me on 0223436908 :)

Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.
