attaching stereo wires.

Kathy from Avondale

I have an Onkyo sound system with speakers that have to be attached to the wall, is there someone out there who can do this, and how much would it cost me? The wires will probably have to go through the back of the wall, up and across the ceiling, etc.

Hi Canterbury,

Would you be put off by a health warning at your local swimming spot?

Around 100 popular swimming locations across the country have been slapped with health warnings for the summer season this year.

Local councils reported long-term poor water quality due to the presence of algal blooms and high concentrations of sediment in popular swimming spots like Lake Rotorua, Waikanae Beach and Paraparaumu Beach. Some of these sites have had consistently low scoring that local councils have stopped monitoring them and have instead posted long-term warning signs against swimming.

Swimmers that ignore signs risk gastrointestinal illnesses and respiratory diseases from water made hazardous by farm runoff, sewage contamination and high bacteria counts.

Father of two Tim Scott has taken more than just a parent’s interest in his children’s school.

The professional landscape architect helped design Rāwhiti School’s landscape – a decile 3 school in Christchurch’s North New Brighton – which won an Australasian award for the final product.

The design impressed even Scott's toughest critics – his two children – who use their school’s playground on the weekends.
