ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.

Poll: What do you think about MPI's new dog-on-ute law?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Dogs on the back of a ute, on a dusty rural road: a scene that captures heartland New Zealand. But new MPI animal welfare regulations promise to complicate moving sheepdogs between paddocks, and other farming practices besides, with the threat of a fine from October.

Dogs on the back of a ute, on a dusty rural road: a scene that captures heartland New Zealand. But new MPI animal welfare regulations promise to complicate moving sheepdogs between paddocks, and other farming practices besides, with the threat of a fine from October.

Dogs on the back of a truck, trailer or ute, travelling on a public road, had to be tied up with a leash or rope, if not in a cage or crate. The only exception to the rule was if farm dogs were actively helping to move livestock along public roads, in which case they could jump on and off a vehicle.

People caught breaking that law could be fined up to $900 under new Animal Welfare Regulations from October. Read the ministry's guide to the Animal Welfare (Care and Procedures) Regulations at mpi.govt.nz. Read more here

Is this Rotorua land fit for housing?

Reporter Rotorua News

The proposed site for Rotorua's first Special Housing Accord development was considered for a cemetery 14 years ago, but rejected due to the presence of "sewage sludge" and the fact that the area was also flood-prone.

The proposed site for Rotorua's first Special Housing Accord development was considered for a cemetery 14 years ago, but rejected due to the presence of "sewage sludge" and the fact that the area was also flood-prone.

The developer behind the plans for the almost 200 home project said he was well aware of the past concerns about the site, but was confident the sludge was no longer there after conducting about 120 soil tests.

Have you had your Bars Run?

Is it something you would choose for you?



These are 32 points or Bars on the head. Activating these points by lightly touching them and allowing the energy to flow through these bars releases the electrical charge that holds all the considerations, ththoughts beliefs decisions, emotions or attitudes you have stored. After a bars session the worst thing that can happen is you feel like you have had a great massage, the best thing that can happen is it can change your whole life.



How does the Access Bars process work?



Running the Bars is a simple, non-invasive, energy prosess where the facilitator lightly touches each point on the head to release the energy. Relieving this process, i.e " having your Bars run" , usually leaves you with a sense of peace and space and a feeling like there is more possibility open to you. This is an incredibly dynamic process that will not only leave you feeling refreshed and relaxed, as if you have had a deep restful sleep or a really great massage, but it can also change your life. Each Bars session releases 5 to 10 thousand years of limitation in the area of your life that corresponds with the Bar being touched. This is an incredibly nurturing and relaxing process, undoing limitation in all aspects of you life without any effort.

What would you like to change in your body?

Is it something you would choose for you?
