Bus Stops

Rosemary from Pyes Pa

Cheyne Road has lost all its bus stops. They have been taken away? Has anyone else lost them. I rang the Regional Council and the bus stops come under the City Council. (Which have been contacted).

Medication and Furniture

Did you know that certain medications such as common blood pressure tablets and also drugs such as Warfarin can severely damage your leather upholstery. The same damage can also be caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
We bought our very expensive lounge furniture about two years ago and my wife's chair (photo attached) is badly stained from a blood pressure pill.
This was not of course mentioned to us at the time of purchase which we think should have been done as this problem is commonly known in the furniture industry and warranties on furniture do NOT cover this type of damage. The chair in question has now been re-sprayed in a dark brown colour and we are hoping this problem will not reoccur but only time will tell.
If you are considering purchasing any lounge furniture in the future please be aware of this problem and steer clear of leather.

Road Kill

Tania from Whakamarama

I find the number of dead hedgehogs, pukekos, rabbits etc on the roads absolutely disgusting. I frequently stop and move dead birds and rabbits off Esdaile Road so that I don't have to drive over them or try to miss driving over them.

I find the number of dead hedgehogs, pukekos, rabbits etc on the roads absolutely disgusting. I frequently stop and move dead birds and rabbits off Esdaile Road so that I don't have to drive over them or try to miss driving over them.

If a member of your family was hit by a car and simply left in the road, you would be outraged. Yet there is clearly no thought or consideration for the animal or other road users. Hit any wildlife, just leave it there. NOT everyone wants to drive over dead wildlife. I am an animal lover and don't have a sensitivity chip missing like so many people clearly do.
How fast does a hedgehog run in front of your car? Clearly so fast that you just can't avoid hitting it. When you see a rabbit or pukeko or hawk in the road, is it a New Zealand sport that you speed up and hit it?

If you just can't miss hitting it, possibly due to substandard driving skills, then have the courtesy to stop and move it out the road. Obviously one can't stop on the highway to move a dead animal out of the road, but on Esdaile, Pahoia, Youngsten etc etc you certainly can. It is just up to the kind of person you are.

Through these tough times we have learned the true strength and resilience of our communities and have witnessed first hand the abundance of aroha in Aotearoa.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.

The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.
