Minister's balancing act

The Team from ACC New Zealand

ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.

Hi Everyone,
Living with Tourettes NZ. is on Prime, Sunday at 8.30pm for another 5 weeks.
It gives a great insight into the lives of people in New Zealand living with Tourettes Syndrome.
Tourettes is a debilitating syndrome that is not recognized as a disability here and very much misunderstood.
My daughter Jessica is one of the 6 people that were followed and is hoping this will bring a better understanding to the wider community of the daily challengers faced by people with Tourettes Syndrome.

Could Tongariro St become like Cuba St in Wellington?

Robert Steven Reporter from Taupō Times

Making Tongariro St a pedestrian-only street is one idea in the council's District Economic Strengthening plan.

Instead of Tongariro St, Titiraupenga St would become the main arterial road for travel through Taupō. Walking through Tongariro Domain's gardens would become much easier … View more
Making Tongariro St a pedestrian-only street is one idea in the council's District Economic Strengthening plan.

Instead of Tongariro St, Titiraupenga St would become the main arterial road for travel through Taupō. Walking through Tongariro Domain's gardens would become much easier for visitors.

>> What does everyone think about the concept?
>> Does the idea of a pedestrian-only street, with cafes looking across to the Tongariro Domain, sound good?

Please write NFP [not for print] beside your comment if you'd prefer it wasn't used in a print news story.... cheers!
