• By Nikki Preston A COTTAGE built in the late- 1800s by the inventor of Sure to Rise baking powder has sold for $520,000. The property on Edmonds St, Woolston, which is thought to have Thomas Edmonds been built for one of Thomas Edmonds’ workers, has been purchased by a North Island art teacher. OneRoof property records show the two-bedroom, one-bathroom home last sold for $140,000 in 2009. It has a 2019 RV of $275,000. Interior designers lived in the home for more than a decade and during that time they carefully redecorated while being mindful of its cottage character. Ray White listing agent Rebecca Toone said the new Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz owner“just loved the gardens”. Toone said the property was definitely unique, especially with its rich history. After immigrating to New Zealand, Thomas Edmonds set up a grocery store on what is now the corner of Edmonds and Randolph Sts. He moved the business to Ferry Rd – where part of the Edmonds Gardens remain – when his Sure to Rise baking powder became a success. – NZ Herald Thursday January 26 2023 The Star NEWS 3 Sure to Rise inventor’s cottage sells for $520K AM host Oliver-Kirby ‘making great progress’ THE AM show on TV3 has given an update on presenter Bernadine Oliver-Kerby’s health battle. Last year the popular television presenter took extended leave from the AM show as it was revealed she was suffering from Bell’s palsy, a condition which causes facial paralysis. According to Newshub, Oliver- Kerby has since been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which displays similar symptoms to Bell’s palsy. Oliver-Kerby’s co-hosts shared an update on their colleague’s condition. Ryan Bridge told viewers: “She’s making great progress. She is missing you all, she sent us a text to say that, but she also has a little more resting to do.” And Melissa Chan-Green added: “We’re really looking forward to having Bern back with us soon.” Last week a Discovery Warner Bros. spokesperson said Oliver- Kerby, from Canterbury, was still recovering from the condition which struck her in October, with treatment at Auckland Hospital. “Bernadine is still taking time to recover,” the spokesperson said. Last year, following a noticeable period of absence, Oliver- Kerby’s co-hosts revealed what had happened. “You may have noticed that our lovely Bernadine has been absent from the show for a while now. Bern is going to be taking an extended period of sick leave after experiencing facial paralysis on one side of her face due to Bell’s palsy,” said Chan-Green of the condition that affects two to three people per 10,000. Bridge continued: “Bernadine can’t wait to reunite with the team, with us and with you at home, the AM viewers and with the rest of the recovery now her main priority.” Bridge also noted that Oliver- DIAGNOSED: Bernadine Oliver-Kirby has been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome since taking extended leave from the AM show last year. PHOTOS: FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM Kerby was extremely grateful to the staff at Auckland Hospital who “took such great care of her”. “Bern, we love you, you know we do. You’re an incredible presence on this programme. We love your wit, we love your humour, we miss you. We look forward to seeing you back as soon as you can,” he said. – NZ Herald What is Ramsay Hunt syndrome? Made famous after pop star Justin Bieber was diagnosed with the condition, Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a complication of the shingles virus. Often signalled by a painful rash around the ear, mouth or on the face, it occurs when the virus affects a particular nerve in the head and causes facial weakness or paralysis. The condition can take weeks and sometimes months to clear. Meanwhile, Bell’s palsy, also known as facial palsy, is the sudden onset of paralysis of one of the facial nerves. Southern Cross NZ describes the symptoms as being “muscle weakness on one side of the face, causing the face to droop”. “Bell’s palsy can affect anyone. Its annual incidence is two to three people per 10,000 of the population, and this is thought to be similar across all ethnic groups and between men and women. Pregnant women and people with diabetes have an increased risk.” If you think you might be suffering from Bell’s palsy you should urgently seek help from your healthcare provider.
