The key is to be content and you can’t beat having a fabulous family. Also dancing every night when I was younger was a very happy time.
Always be honest and never hold a grudge.
It’s what you do in life that counts. I have been very fortunate to have a very loving family and loved my work with IHC. Do the things that you want and achieve your goals.
I had a wonderful husband, 46 years together, and a loving family so I was very lucky. Always look for the positive in life and love your family.
The secret is to have a good relationship, don’t take life too seriously and go with the changes that come along.

Water causes health concerns in Seddon Seddon residents say they are suffering chronic rash conditions and gastro-intestinal problems as a result of having water that is not up to national drinking standards. At a public meeting last week, local residents told Labour candidate for Kaikoura, Janette Walker, and Labour spokesman for Primary Industries, Damien O’Connor, that a number of adults and children had suffered ill health as a result of the
town’s untreated water supply. “Small towns need to have certainty regarding safe water to drink and, as it turns out, to bathe in,” Ms Walker said. “Seddon residents reported a number of local adults and children have developed chronic rash conditions and gastro-intestinal problems. “Unfortunately for towns like Seddon, the Sanitary Works Subsi-
dy Scheme initiated and supported by the last Labour government has been scrapped by the current National government. “The aim of the scheme was to achieve cost-effective, safe drinking water for small population rural towns.” Ms Walker said it was ‘not good enough’ that Seddon residents had water that doesn’t comply with the drinking water standards of 2005.
“There is also the question of old infrastructure and piping that will require significant upgrade to minimise contamination and risk of water-borne diseases.” As Seddon’s water is not fully treated, there is a risk it can contain bacteria and/or protozo. Therefore, members of the community are asked to boil their water before using it for drinking, food preparation or teeth cleaning.
Mr O’Connor, who spoke at the meeting, said Labour’s water policy would seek to address water issues in rural towns and that central government had a role to play in providing the necessary legislation, support and, if necessary, subsidy for towns like Seddon to have affordable, clean and safe drinking water.
