We're not saying 'Ka kite' to 'Kia ora' but let's challenge ourselves a little more for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori...

Held from the 11th-17th September, Māori Language week gives us a chance to celebrate our beautiful national language. Maybe you'll be celebrating by watching the Toku Reo videos and using Te Aka (Maōri Dictionary) to improve your knowledge, or maybe you've found a buddy for the week that will only kōrero in te reo with you. Ka pai!

If you're a fan of chocolate, we have five blocks of Whittakers Miraka Kirīmi tiakarete to give away. Whether long or short, simply share your show-off phrase below to be in to win. (Winners randomly drawn and notified on Mon, 18th Sept).

Put down the coffee, feed your brain every weekday and hopefully have a bit of fun in the process.

There’s a new word puzzle that’s a little “anagram-istic”, a tad “Boggle-ing” and a bit harder than both. It’s aptly named, The Hard Word.

Put down the coffee, feed your brain every weekday and hopefully have a bit of fun in the process.

There’s a new word puzzle that’s a little “anagram-istic”, a tad “Boggle-ing” and a bit harder than both. It’s aptly named, The Hard Word.

You get one scramble of letters, one cryptic clue and one tense minute to unscramble the letters and guess the answer.

Proudly brought to you by Neighbourly, The Hard Word can be found 9am weekdays on Stuff. Give it a go today - if you dare…

Press Biase.

Also to letters to the editor that do not comply with their view of life. Great shame. Suppose this will change if there is a change of government. News provided should either be totally unbiased or at least provide both or all views unless comment declined and stated as such. How else is the general citizenry to stay informed.

All these figs. and data is on the Council Website, which they don't like us to read, do they?? Happy reading Folks! Heather Pantin-Lewis of Westown

💚🌏$10 off your initial Bowen treatment in September 🌏💚

🌿"How can something so gentle, have such a profound effect?"
🌿"I feel like my joints have had an "oil and grease"."
🌿"Actually,..... the pain is gone!"

These are just a few of the many astonishing things my clients tell me after 3 or 4 Bowen sessions.

For a minimal investment and a very relaxing treatment, they get to experience better energy, less (or no) pain, better movement, and quicker recovery after heavy physical work.

You get $10 off your initial Bowen treatment when you book in September.

I keep the cost low, so you can come back for the follow up work, and really deal with the issues that are bothering you.

Find me on Facebook or send me a message if you want to know more, or want to book yourself your first session 💚🌏
