Creative seniors

The team at PDP Denture Studio.

By CHRIS HARROWELL

M Thousands of satisfied clients can’t be wrong about PDP Denture Studio in Pakuranga.

Established in 1997 by Leah Taylor, an award-winning clinical dental technician with more than 25 years’ experience, this specialist denture provider attracts those from as far afield as Tokelau Islands, United States and Australia. “We also receive referrals from dentists and oral surgeons throughout the country, as well as by word of mouth from our patients,� says Leah.

Friendly and welcoming, the suburban clinic on the corner of Ti Rakau and Edgewater Drives has a calm atmosphere that instantly quells any fears or jitters.

That was exactly Leah’s intention when she undertook the extensive refurbishment of the site over a year and a half ago. “We wanted it to be warm and inviting, not clinical. A lot of people still associate sitting in a dental chair with being unpleasant and scary but we’re here to turn it into a wonderful experience.�

And patients are at the heart of Leah and her team’s work. “We spend a lot of time with our patients, really listening and understanding what they hope to gain from our service.�

In fact, patients who have struggled to find the right solution are certain to find the answer here. “We come across many people who have had problems for a long time and we make it our mission to fix it, ensuring they leave with a happy smile.�

PDP Denture Studio also offers a mobile service, visiting patients who, due to illness, age or inability to travel, are unable to visit the premises.

The boutique denture clinic specialises in high quality, aesthetically-pleasing full dentures, partial dentures, Vitallium dentures, Valplast dentures, implant retained dentures (in conjunction with oral surgeons and dentists) and mouthguards, and more importantly, it offers a personalised, friendly service.

Holding prominent roles in professional bodies such as the New Zealand Institute of Dental Technologists (NZIDT) and membership in the Australian Dental Prosthetists Association (ADPA), Leah is always in the know. “We’re constantly learning and updating our skills as well as keeping abreast with new techniques and materials,� she says. “It’s also a fantastic way of networking with other dental professionals in the industry and accessing resources.�

PDP Denture Studio has its own on-site lab, where the custom-fitted dentures are made, repairs done and dentures relined.

As a high end clinic it also uses the very best European products and has a wide range of denture supplies and accessories.

After care service is another domain where the team excels. “We put together a lovely care package which teaches new denture wearers how to look after their dentures.â€? The team at PDP Denture Studio are with you every step of your denture experience‌from the very first consultation, to the insert, to any adjustments or aftercare you may need As summer approaches, and the busy end-of-year calendar begins to fill up at the clinic, Leah urges people to book well ahead.

If you want a fresh look for spring or a beautiful new smile in time for the Christmas festivities, come and experience the PDP Denture Studio difference today by visiting us at our premises, 2 Edgewater Drive, Pakuranga, call 576 6987 and ask Darlene to make you a no-obligation consultation appointment, or visit the website www.pdpdenturestudio.co.nz.

LEAH is a registered Dental Technician and Clinical Dental Technician, Biofunctional Prosthetic System (BPS) registered and a member of the Australian Dental Prosthetists Association (ADPA) and the New Zealand Institute of Dental Technologists NZIDT. After initially training at the Adelaide Dental Hospital in South Australia, she won the South Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Bronze Medallion and was also named the 42nd South Australian Apprentice of the year winner, 1993.

In 1994 Leah was awarded the prestigious Laurie Brownell Scholarship, which included a 12-month study tour enabling her to travel to the United Kingdom to further her training in Maxillo Facial Prosthetics, and to work at many of the world’s best Maxillo Facial units. She returned to Australia and resumed working in the public dental service in both South Australia and Queensland while continuing her studies in Oral Health Promotion and Health Science.

Leah moved to New Zealand in 1997 and completed Otago University’s Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dental Technology. She is serving on the executive of the New Zealand Institute of Dental Technologists and is currently Chairperson for their mediation commitee.

More reason to smile with PDP Denture Studio

ORE than 30 of Pakuranga Park Village’s creative residents leapt at the chance to show off their hidden talents.

The senior citizens took part in an exhibition of artworks and handmade crafts and hobbies at the retirement home in Fortunes Road on July 16.

The unique showcase was the brainchild of village resident Nova Savage.

She worked with Pakuranga Park Village activities co-ordinator Val Ellor to make it happen. “I had a crazy idea last year of staging an exhibition, but it didn’t really get off the ground,� Mrs Savage told the Times. “Val said she would really like to do it this year, so we had a chat and talked about possible dates. “We took it one step at a time and this exhibition is the result.�

The retirement village’s community centre was packed to the gills with residents’ handmade creations.

Displaying were paintings, model ships and aircraft, intricate cakes and icing, engines, jewellery, dolls and

showcase variety of art hobbies

TASTY TREATS: Left, expert cake maker and decorator Margaret Maggs displayed a number of her creations; right, model ship builder Brian Jones showed off his handiwork.

Times photos Chris Harrowell motor vehicle sitting in a remote rural paddock and her three grandchildren playing at a beach.

There was also an artwork depicting a jazz singer and her husband Bevan Congdon, the famous former New Zealand cricket

captain and skilled trumpeter.

Village resident Brian Jones displayed several of his handcrafted model ships.

Among them were replicas of the HMNZS Tui military vessel and the Africa Queen.

The Tui was a minesweeper used by the Royal NZ Navy from 1941 to 1967.

Mr Jones’ model of the ship is comprised of about 200 parts, most of which he made.

The former company managing

director says he doesn’t really consider himself a model ship maker.

“I just do this to amuse myself over the winter. I enjoy making models of things that I think are interesting.

“The hardest thing is trying

not to finish each one in a hurry to see what it looks like. I have to be patient.”

Margaret Maggs took the opportunity to display her talent with cake making and decorating.

She filled a table at the village’s exhibition with cakes and intricate flowers made from cake icing.

“I made my own wedding cake 56 years ago with the help of my mother,” says Mrs Maggs.

“She painted and iced cakes too, so I learned a little about it from her.”

It takes Mrs Maggs about an hour to make a large flower from cake icing. One of her delicious creations was to be used in a raffle at the retirement village.

The rest were to be devoured during afternoon tea as soon as the exhibition closed.

Mrs Savage says the idea behind the event was to get residents talking about and sharing their hobbies.

“Someone might look at a display and think they would love to know how to make that,” she says.

“They would see whose name is on it and go and talk to them about how they did it.

“People who have seen the exhibition have been blown away and it’s been a real team effort.

“Everyone involved has done their bit and it’s really brought the village together.”

Enjoying your retirement

By CHRIS HARROWELL

T

HE organiser of a popular series of public events and activities aimed at senior citizens is having just as much fun as those taking part.

Not Over the Hill Yet is run

by Ashley Grogan, programme and events manager at Uxbridge, Howick’s creative centre.

It’s publicly funded by the Auckland Council and was created three years ago out of a desire to give active local seniors the chance to socialise and make new friends.

On offer are activities such as trips to public gardens, classical music concerts, tea-tasting sessions and live art demonstrations. “It was really noticeable to us that there was a need for events specifically designed for people aged 60 and over,� Mrs Grogan told the Times. “We started a weekly zumba exercise class for seniors four years ago and it really took off. “Howick has an ageing population and a lot of older people here are living on their own or have lost their partner or spouse. “Some of them find it quite difficult accessing activities that work for them.�

When putting together each year’s schedule for Not Over the Hill Yet, Mrs Grogan tries to include a wide variety of events. “I think about seniors and what interests that age group,� she says.

SOCIALISING: Among those enjoying the Not Over the Hill Yet programme of activities for seniors are, from left, Diana Knight, Sue Hughes and Jean Nielsen.

Times photo Wayne Martin “We like to see all the arts involved and have a wide mix of activities so there are at least one or two things that suit each person.�

One of the things many people like about Not Over the Hill Yet is its flexibility.

They can pick and choose each event as they please. “We’ve found some people come along and book for loads of events at once,� says Mrs Grogan. “The group of people we have at each activity is definitely growing. “People who come along are not what anyone would term ‘old’ at all. “These activities are aimed at

people aged 60 and older, but we get a broad spectrum.�

People who have heard about Not Over the Hill Yet, but aren’t sure if it’s for them, can phone Mrs Grogan or drop into the public arts centre in Howick’s Uxbridge Road. “People are welcome to pop in and have a chat with me first,� she says. “They could also just come along to one of the events, as many of them only cost $2, and see if they like it.�

Among the programme’s many recent highlights was a bus trip to a tulip flower festival at Hamilton

Gardens on September 13. “We had an amazing day and the 29 seniors came off the bus raving about it,� says Mrs Grogan. “They thought it was brilliant.�

Another success was a tea appreciation workshop, hosted in Howick last May by Dilmah New Zealand tea ambassador Jonathan Houldsworth. “Everyone who’s been involved with Not Over the Hill Yet was really happy to have taken part,� says Mrs Grogan. “I’m really excited at where and how well this project is going. “Someone said to me that

Uxbridge is not a place you visit, it’s a place you belong to. We want people to be part of the centre and that’s what we’re trying to create.�

A number of quality events staged as part of Not Over the Hill Yet are just around the corner.

Tickets cost $15 to a public music concert performed by accomplished Italian classical pianist, composer and teacher Flavio Villani at 7.30pm on October 15.

Seniors have the chance to learn the art of bee keeping at a talk by local expert Debbie Brown-Bayliss, from 1-2.30pm on October 22, for just $4.

A florist demonstration and workshop is held at the public arts centre from 1-3pm on November 12, for $12.

The popular Eno Sisters trio will sing their way through a concert of music of the 1930s, 40s and 50s, at 2pm on November 23, with tickets for sale at $10.

A group trip to the North Head historic military fort on Auckland’s North Shore is held from 9.30am3.30pm on November 27 and costs $45 per person. “We want our audience to enjoy themselves and come back again and again,� says Mrs Grogan. “I’ve really enjoyed having the opportunity to work with this age group, who have a massive amount to offer. They are young at heart and I’ve had a lot of fun just being around them.�

Trusts they are WIN! Fish tale

Enjoying your retirement

a-changing People have trusts for different reasons but what happens when circumstances change?

Howick lawyer, Kelly Flavell says with tougher scrutiny of trusts by the Ministry of Social Development, it is imperative, now more than ever that people review their trusts.

Returning from a seminar organised by global legal publishers CCH, Kelly says the rules have tightened significantly. “Trusts are still valid for the purpose they were established for asset protection and property relationship issues but they will not hold against residential care subsidies. “The Ministry of Social Development has made it clear that while it acknowledges that trusts are a legitimate planning tool it has the power under the Social Welfare Act to completely ignore the trust in relation to residential care subsidies.�

Families will need to be wary of this and should now review their trust and estate planning to see what difficulties that may create for the family when it comes to making an application for residential care subsidies on behalf of their family members.

In fact Kelly recommends that trusts be reviewed every 10 years, or whenever changes in circumstances and governance arise to ensure that the trust will still serve its purpose. Wills on the other hand should be checked every five years.

He recommends those who do not have a trust or will in place should seek appropriate legal advice as soon as possible. “Trusts remain an important part of estate planning and a way of protecting

assets from creditors, the advent of relationship breakdown, on top of leaving a valuable legacy for beneficiaries,� says Kelly.

As well as considering trusts and wills people should be setting up Enduring Powers of Attorney while they are mentally capable – the sooner they are done the better.

In the absence of an Enduring Power of Attorney, the family has no option but to go to Court to appoint a manager when the family member lacks capacity, a process which can take up to six months and cost thousands of dollars.

Ensure that your legal affairs are in safe knowledgeable hands, call Kelly and his team to discuss how best to protect your assets and legacy: Kelly Flavell Law 18 Uxbridge Road, Howick. Phone 535 2150 Email: kflavell@kellyflavell.co.nz

Open Season by Dave Witherow

F

OR THOSE with time on their hands, and more opportunities than most to enjoy leisure activities, fishing is often a favourite pastime.

And, while it may seem like an angler’s life revolves around tales of the one that got away, according to Dave Witherow, getting away from it all is precisely what fishing is all about!

Of course, catching a few fish does enter into it, but this Kiwi pastime is just as much about men (and women) seeking escape from domesticity and daily cares to find their inner huntergatherers.

In Open Season, Dave takes readers on a tour of some of New Zealand’s finest (often most secluded) fishing spots; however, readers also meet the crafty characters who frequent them.

It’s a great read for the frenetic fisherman and the armchair angler alike and the good news is Times has a copy to give away to one lucky reader.

Open Season – An Angler’s Life in New Zealand

Chance for Crown Lynn fans to win collectors handbook

I

T’S MORE than two decades since the Crown Lynn factory closed in New Lynn and, while many would give all the tea in China to see new Crown Lynn dinnerware back on shop shelves, that

time in New Zealand’s fragile manufacturing history has gone.

Yet many households still have pieces of Crown Lynn in the cupboards or on a dresser reminiscent of those days between the 1950s to the end of the 80s when few tables were devoid of an ‘everyday’ Crown Lynn dinner set.

And, of course, there was many a mantelpiece topped with a Crown Lynn vase or one of the company’s famous white swans.

The iconic pottery range sprung from parent company the Amalgamated Brick and Pipe Company.

Ultimately, more than 300 product ranges were produced including children’s crockery, Toby jugs, lamp bases, ornamental birds, souvenirs, bathroomware, vases ornaments and bakeware.

But, arguably, it was the company’s dinner sets that were household names and pantry ‘must haves’.

For those who remember the Crown Lynn days and still have pieces from the past locked away or perhaps have become collectors of Crown Lynn, the Times has a little gem up for grabs – Valerie

Ringer Monk’s Crown Lynn Collector’s Handbook.

This comprehensive guide for Crown Lynn devotees and new collectors is just the ticket for those dedicated to preserving the physical remains of this iconic company.

Crown Lynn pieces can still be found in homes, second hand shops and various nooks and crannies around the country. They are as soughtafter as they were in their hey-day.

What’s more this fascinating book contains A-Z listings including photographs of representative designs as well as their distinctive backstamps and marks to help collectors correctly identify and appreciate the origins of the Crown Lynn products.

Dimensions and dates are given for each entry and items are brought to life with snippets of Crown Lynn history.

Whether readers prefer the practical everyday crockery or the quirky art ware and figurines, this fascinating book, published by Penguin Group (NZ) will help them recognise these treasures and identify the era from which they came.

To enter the draw to win one of these books, just visit www.times. co.nz then click on the competitions link and complete the form.

One entry per person/email address; entries close October 10, 2014.

ACK of time is a golfer’s arch-nemesis. In the hectic pace of the modern world, there are not enough hours in the day for work, family, friends or chores – let alone 18 holes of golf or honing your swing, chipping and putting.

But when work is taken out of the equation come retirement, the formerly timepoor become time-rich.

They are free to take up the sport they’ve always wanted to play, but other things in life had got in the way.

Conditions apply

Bring this ad into the Pakuranga Golf Club and collect a special golf prize for you and a friend!

And those who have dabbled in a few rounds here or there are able to reconnect and invest more of their day or week into their game.

Retirement is the envy of the avid golfer.

They have a greater choice of tee-off times, without having to schedule around work commitments often occupying the prime golfing hours during the day.

Being able to play more often and having increased flexibility with their time, retirees are also less hampered by the weather,

which can scupper the only chance a working golfer has to get on the course.

Golf also provides a number of health benefits.

The Better Health Channel states that walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five and seven kilometres, and doing this at least three times a week can provide the optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart.

So with more time on your hands, and knowing that it is good for you, there is no excuse not to hit the fairways.

ho can take a backyard, sprinkle it with seeds, cover them with soil and give them the loving care they need?

The gardener can! Maybe this is what Sammy Davis Junior would have sung if he’d been more a Mr ‘Grow’ Business than a Mr ‘Show’ Business.

Now that spring is here, it’s time to enjoy treats from the garden. And this little beauty is sure to have many a gardener wanting candy – candytuft, that is!

What is candytuft anyway?

TEXENERGY

When, where and how to plant As the plants themselves are relatively compact, they provide excellent groundcover and work well in rock gardens, flowerbeds or containers.

Sow seeds in spring.

However, seedlings can be started indoors in trays if Jack Frost is still knocking about.

Locate an area of the garden where plants will receive full sun to part shade. The soil should be free draining, but it does not need to be particularly rich; candytuft will fare well even in poor soil or dry soil.

Space seeds (or seedlings) approximately 20cms apart and cover lightly with just a few millimetres of soil.

COMPRESSION WEAR SPECIALISTS

Who else wants to reclaim their active lifestyle?

Available in a range of graduated

compression levels, sizes, styles and colours.

Special range for diabetics, patients recovering from injury & for those with special needs.

Beneficial for activities such as walking, golfing, cycling, hiking, physical work and everyday wear.

Suitable for those who are on their feet all day.

Suitable for short and long haul flights to minimise Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

Care

Water from time to time during drier months, so soil is moist, but not too boggy.

Although they won’t require much in the way of feeding, a little general fertiliser once a month or so certainly won’t hurt.

If growing perennial varieties, apply mulch during winter and prune back in spring to encourage growth.

Candytuft isn’t too troubled by pests and diseases.

Harvest

Flowers will begin to bloom roughly six weeks after seeds are sown and should continue until the arrival of frosts.

When picked and displayed in vases, candytuft flowers will brighten any room and they also retain their colour well when pressed.

Uses

It’s said that the seeds, stems, leaves and roots of candytuft offer medicinal benefits.

Traditionally, the seeds were used to treat conditions ranging from rheumatism to nausea, asthma and even bronchitis.

Originating from the Mediterranean region – including southern Europe, western Asia and northern Africa – candytuft produces clusters of aromatic flowers in colours ranging from white to red, pink and lavender.

A common misconception is that candytuft gains its name from its colourful flowers; however, it is actually a reference to Candia – a former name of the city of Heraklion, the capital of the Mediterranean island of Crete – where they grow prolifically.

From the Brassicaceae (or mustard) family, candytuft is a cousin to such garden favourites as broccoli, cabbages, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.

There are approximately 30 varieties of candytuft, including annuals and perennials; annual varieties are generally quite hardy.
