Kia ora neighbours, a West Auckland woman who was given less than 15% chance of survival has met with volunteer firefighters who she says helped save her life.

Shortly after 3am on March 28, Laingholm resident Janene Gurnell, 50, collapsed in her home. Her partner immediately called 111 and the Laingholm volunteer fire brigade was the first to respond.

Gurnell said she had no memory of what happened that night, but was told by her partner that less than a minute after the firefighters arrived, she went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing.

A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesperson said firefighters began CPR on Gurnell immediately and continued until paramedics arrived.

Kia ora neighbours, Auckland’s community of young people living with Down syndrome came together in Avondale to brighten up the walls of recently relocated charity UpsideDowns, with help from fashion icon Dame Denise L'Estrange-Corbet.

UpsideDowns opened the doors of its new headquarters to host a Kids’ Art Workshop on Saturday, July 23.

Sarah Paterson-Hamlin, CEO of the charity which provides speech and language therapy for children living with Down syndrome, said: “This is the first time we’ve been able to have a space of our own like this, and having original art from some of the kids we work with on the walls is something we will be able to treasure and enjoy."

"I’m so grateful to Dame Denise for approaching us and coming up with such a great concept. We would never have thought to do this otherwise!"

The artworks will be officially unveiled by L'Estrange-Corbet at the UpsideDowns Art Opening on the evening of 10 August.

An Auckland street artist says he is “at war” with taggers who keep vandalising his work.

Jesse Jensen​, who paints under the name Ares Artifex​, has painted murals across Auckland, including for Auckland Council, the Department of Conservation and the Ministry of Justice.

The West Auckland resident said work like his helped to beautify ugly places, such as bare walls and construction sites.

However, this year Jensen has been battling “toys”, or graffiti artists who tag over someone else’s art with the intention of wrecking it. One of his pieces in Henderson has been tagged about 30 times.

Jensen said that while it was frustrating for him and his clients when his art was vandalised, he had empathy for the taggers and understood why they did it: to lash out at someone who had permission to paint legally.

Jensen believed Auckland Council could curb offensive tagging if it provided more space for graffiti artists to paint legally. The council said it trialled this in the past, however the graffiti had spread onto adjacent properties.
