Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.

Kapa haka is taking centre stage in Kaikōura.
Students at Kaikōura High School have been practicing in earnest and learning a traditional Ngātu Kurī haka as they gear up for some kapa haka festivals over the next month.
Kapa haka is offered as part of the outreach to schools within the Kaikōura takiwā (territory) by Te Tai o Marokura, a marae-based social service, and Te Ahi Wairua, a kaupapa Māori service provider.
Te Tai o Marokura kaiwhakapuawai Rebecca Manawatu said kapa haka provided benefits to all students.
‘‘It does really empower the kids and it is a good self esteem builder and they all come from different cultures.
‘‘It is about making them proud of who they are.’’
Manawatu and her nieces visit schools and pre-schools all over the takiwā, including Seddon and Ward schools to the north, as well as schools in Kaikōura and the northern part of the Hurunui district.
Kaikōura High School and Te Kura o Hāpuku are gearing up for the Taiopenga Kapahaka Festival being held at Marlborough Girls’ College on October 24.
Te Kura o Hāpuku also joined the North Canterbury Kapahaka Festival in Rangiora for the first time last month.
Schools in the Kaikōura takiwā will be competing in the annual Takiwā Kapahaka Festival being held in the Kaikōura Memorial Hall on November 28.
The schools include Te Kura o Hāpuku, St Joseph’s (Kaikōura), Kaikōura Primary, Hanmer Springs, Amuri Area, Waiau, Rotherham, Ward and Seddon schools.
Kaikōura High School’s kapa haka group will perform while the judges are deliberating.
The students also have the chance to join a mass Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura kapa haka during a Hui-a-Iwi showcase, which will be held as part of the Ngāi Tahu hui being hosted by Kaikōura from November 22 to 24.

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society.
