Jack’s Beehive buzz
• By Bea Gooding
NINE-YEAR-OLD Jack Gregory
wants to be a leader just like Prime
Minister Jacinda Ardern one day.
The Mairehau Primary School
pupil was so inspired by Ms
Ardern’s efforts during Covid-19
that he sent her a thank you
card. And he was elated she had
personally written back.
“Thank you so much for taking
the time to get in touch with me,”
the prime minister responded.
“I’m sorry I’m not able to write
you a longer letter – things are
pretty busy just now, but your
message has given me lots of
energy to keep going.”
Jack, along with his classmates,
was tasked with writing a thank
you card to someone who had
helped him during Covid-19.
Ms Ardern’s comfort and leadership
was what came to mind, something
he aspired to emulate when he
grew up as a leader himself.
“I told her ‘thank you for stopping
Covid-19.’ I just wanted to tell her
that she’s doing a great job,” he said.
He stood up in front of 127 children
and proudly showed off the
letter, which he said he planned to
frame and hang in his room.
His teacher, Hayley Young, said
most of the children chose parents or
grandparents, but Jack was the only
one who thought of someone outside
of his family. • Turn to page 3
ELATED: Mairehau Primary School pupil Jack Gregory sent a letter of praise
to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and was delighted that she responded.

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a nonprofit
organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s most important
coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a new bird found in the estuary. Her column
aims to raise the understanding of the values and uniqueness of the area.
Harsh weather not kind to fantail
THE FANTAIL is surely one of the
most well known and loved birds.
Who does not enjoy watching this
tiny bird with its distinctive fanned
tail, happy chattering and curiosity
causing it to come within arm’s reach?
You may have even been lucky
enough to have seen a black fantail,
which only make up five per cent of
the fantails. Don’t let them scare you
when you do see one, it really is only
a myth when you hear that they are
harbingers of bad luck.
Both male and female share the task
of incubating the eggs but as soon as
they hatch the female will leave it up
to the male to feed the chicks, as she
will leave to start building another
nest for the next clutch of eggs.
When the chicks from the first
nest can fend for themselves the male
will find her and share incubation,
followed by feeding the chicks and so
on and so on. They can nest up to four
times every season.
Note that the male will need to feed
the chicks every 10min, so he is kept
super busy doing this feeding by himself.
Those nests by the way are supersoft,
comfy and cleverly constructed
using moss, rotten wood fibres, hair,
dried grass and woven together with
cobwebs.
The fantail does not cope
DELICATE: The fantail does not cope very well in harsh winters as, being
so small and fragile, they can not survive harsh frosts.
PHOTO: CLIVE COLLINS
very well in harsh winters as unfortunately,
being so small and fragile
they can not survive harsh frosts. For
this reason, don’t be surprised if on a
frosty day you open your woodshed
or garage to find fantails
sheltering from the cold.
How can we help the fantail to
thrive? Controlling rats in your garden
as they are the key predator of the
fantail.
During winter hang or place a
shallow bowl in a tree with sugary
water to give them extra energy. As
they only eat insects they will not feed
from your birdseed feeder.

CALLS HAVE been made to
stop rates increases in response
to the Covid-19 crisis.
City councillors James Gough,
Sam MacDonald, Catherine
Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown
and James Daniels have sent a
letter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel
asking her to lead a conversation
as to how a zero per cent rates
increase could be achieved this
year.
The city council is proposing
an average rates increase of 4.65
per cent across all ratepayers in
this year’s Draft Annual Plan
which is currently under public
consultation until April 5 and
will be finalised before July 1.
The 2018-2028 Long Term
Plan also predicts a 50 per cent
rates increase over 10 years.
Said Cr MacDonald: “In

New charity for vision

AFTER BEING diagnosed with
eye conditions causing gradual
vision loss, Chrissie Whitfield

funds to set up the initiative as
a charitable trust in order to
provide a free service to those
accessing the support.
“When I was diagnosed, it was
difficult to know where to go. I
ended up searching for groups
around NZ but there weren’t
any,” she said.
Diagnosed initially with mild
macular degeneration – where
the central portion of the retina
wears down – she did not respond
to treatment.
She went to another specialist
and was later diagnosed with
central serous chorioretinopathy;
a build-up of fluid causing

further vision loss.
She said her eye conditions
were caused by consistent use of
steroids which helped manage
her asthma.
“I was terrified. I’ve never gotten
the eyesight back that I lost,
but there have been improvements
after months of lasers and
injections,” she said.
Ms Whitfield currently ran a
support group online under the
same name and had met members
from around the country
going through a similar journey.
It was a place to ask questions
and offered hope and friendship
as well as a place to find important
resources about various eye
conditions.
“Some people don’t understand
the impact of losing that
vision is on your life, and not
being able to do the things you
love anymore,” she said.
Her vision for #Blindsided
NZ as a charity was to provide
that same level of support, but
having a charitable status meant
they could apply for funding
and grants.
Having the extra funding
meant that they could also
provide low vision assessments,
coaching and referrals to established
agencies in conjunction
with the emotional support.
Said Ms Whitfield: “Moving
forward, various clinics, DHBs
and agencies across the country
will work with #Blindsided NZ
as a trusted partner to ensure
that clients have end-to-end support
throughout their journey.
“We aim to fill a gap in the
vision loss client pathway from
pre-diagnosis to supported
living and beyond; we don’t
want anyone falling through
the cracks.”
Pupil elated with PM’s
personal response
• From page 1
“He’s a bright kid and thinks
outside of the box. He thinks
globally and is interested in
humanitarian issues, the government,
geography and likes to go
that extra mile about issues he
feels passionate about.”
Miss Young said she was not
aware he had actually sent the
card until he came to school with
Ms Ardern’s response.
“We were very impressed, we
all felt very proud of him.”
The purpose of the exercise
was to instil the importance
of celebrating the positives,
especially in the first weeks
back at school following the
lockdown.
Said Miss Young: “Before we
can address literacy or numeracy,
we have to give them those basic
concepts of what it is to be a good
person – being thankful is a part
of that.”
RESPONSE: The letter that Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern sent to
Mairehau Primary School pupil Jack Gregory, 9, after he wrote to
her praising her response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Cleansed and cured?
Many common health
problems can all be easily
solved with one simple
approach according
to a leading New
Zealand Medical
Herbalist Brett
Elliott. Brett found in
his clinical practice
that most of his clients
have similar common
health complaints and
that it all could be traced
back to digestive disorders. Did you know
up to 50% of the population suffer from
common health conditions like; chronic
constipation, acid reflux, bloating, gas,
ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, crohn’s
disease, coeliac disease, haemorrhoids,
gallstones, cancer, diabetes, high blood
pressure, abdominal weight gain, skin
complaints and many more, these can all
come back to a poor digestive system.
Brett wanted to find a simple solution
everyone could use to support their
bodies natural healing without the side
effects of pharmaceutical medications that
often only ease or cover the symptoms
without healing as well as often having
many side effects. Brett knew everything
in the body depends on the digestive
system working properly and so went
about developing “The Ultimate Herbal
Detox Body Cleanse Program” a simple
to use two week program. It not only
supports the whole digestive system but
also helps cleanse the entire body of toxins
and parasites. The program contains four
different all herb formulas all in capsule
form that need to be taken twice daily.
These capsules can be blended into a
smoothie if you prefer. Colon-aid
is designed to support a healthy
bowel movement, increases the
secretion of gastric juices and
bile and promote appetite and
digestion. Digez-aid soothes
and stimulates healthy digestion
and absorption of vital nutrients.
Sym-lax is a bulking fibre to
cleanse and heal the intestines and
bowels. It also makes you feel less
hungry. Liva-food is the final nutrient
rich formula to support a healthy liver
function. It supports detoxing the body of
toxins and heavy metals.
The program supports the bodies’
organs to do their job. The formulas are
New Zealand made and contain a total
of 24 high potency herbs making it quite
possibly the most comprehensive “do
it yourself ” herbal detox body cleanse
program in the world. Brett has refined
the formula over 20 years and has now
sold over 100, 000 kits world-wide. He
regularly receives incredible feedback
from users with many re-doing the
program once or twice yearly.
With toxic overload and many diseases
sky-rockerting now is the time to make a
positive change by cleansing, nourishing
and helping build your body to a better
health.

Would you like an opportunity to
help people in your community?
Care Solutions is currently setting up a new Supervised
Contact service in the Christchurch area and we are
looking for six contact supervisors. We are a community
based, child focused agency. Visits are for two hours and
venues may vary. This is an opportunity to be part of an
exciting new team.
We are looking for a diverse group of supervisors both
male and female. The role provides for a non-day to
day (visiting) parent to have supervised visits with
their children, ensuring that children are safe, while
supporting and providing an opportunity to rebuild the
parent/child relationship.
The role includes supervising the contact (usually
two hours), keeping the child/children safe, following
any safety plan that may be in place, and writing an
observational report after the contact. Three hours is
paid to allow time for separate handovers between
the parents, the contact itself, and writing the report.
Mileage is paid from home to the contact. Note that
most contacts take place during the weekend or after
school hours.
Training and ongoing support will be
given. A Police vetting will be required
and you will need a full drivers licence.
If you are interested please e-mail
Jenny at jenny@caresolutions.co.nz
