(For a 2 bed room small home)
I have chronic pain, nerve damage, hypersensitivity in my left knee and leg; so this summer I need to keep myself comfortable as there is nothing worse than being hot, bothered and being in pain all day every day. (Other summers have taught me this)
Thank you for taking the time to read this =)
A piece of 5h1t broke into my house today. Looks like they were only searching for money. Keep an eye out for those not normally seen in the area of Bethlehem heights. It’s a quiet street with generally only the same local residents walking around.

Keep an eye out for those not normally seen in the area of Bethlehem heights. It’s a quiet street with generally only the same local residents walking around.
Police have noticed an upsurge of home break ins within the Bethlehem area recently.

However, the home environment can present many dangers to young children. Take curtains and blinds, for example. Although they look great in a room, there's a risk that kids can hurt themselves if they play around with them.
As such, what are the measures that you can take to ensure that they are safe in your home? Let us explain.
Keep your windows child-safe
Keep babies’ cots well away from windows and ensure that all blind and curtain cords are out of reach. This may mean not placing furniture next to windows – toddlers love climbing!
Child safety devices
You could install a safety device that adds another level of protection. This allows cords to be tightly wound around a cleat and out of reach, alternatively you could opt for electronically operated blinds.
Reduce the hazard
It is important to be aware at all times of child safety around the home. An extra safety measure is the installation of a safety device that either removes the cord loop or limits access to cords. A tension device (either a chain tensioner or cleat) can be anchored to the wall or floor so that young children cannot play with cords or put them around their neck.
Selecting the right curtain fabric type
There is no doubt that kids love to pull and tug on items around your home. While you can tell them off as many times as you like, it might be a good idea to invest in stronger fabric type for curtains in a kid's bedroom.
For example, sheers and voiles - while they look great in a baby's nursery, these fabrics are too lightweight and prone to damage especially when your youngest becomes mobile and wants to practice their climbing skills! In a kid's bedroom, you'll want a strong fabric that can take the odd pull and is also easy to clean should they get dirty.
If you need help, give us a call on 0800 579 0501 and we can offer helpful advice. We can also provide safety devices to keep your blind cords out of reach.

As our city has grown, some of the higher speed limits are no longer appropriate with the higher density of housing, vehicle volumes and the mix of cyclists and pedestrians using the streets.
The proposed changes are to sections of Ohauiti Road, Welcome Bay Road, Kaitemako Road, Oropi Road, Pyes Pa Road, Totara Street, Parton Road, Tara Road, Domain Road, Maranui Street and Papamoa Beach Road.
The proposed 40km/h variable speed locations are around the school zones of Matua Primary School, Tauranga Intermediate School, Aquinas College, Golden Sands Primary School and Taumata School.
This is the first stage of a city-wide speed limit review, and we want to know if you support the proposed changes, and/or if you think we’ve got them right. Submissions close 27 November 2020.

The rubbish debacle information rollout continues. What has the Council signed the ratepayers up to? Is the Council only passing on the cost from Envirowaste or is it adding a large markup to this figure? All this for a reduced service rubbish pickup. And still, no Pay as You Throw option. This is the only real way to minimise rubbish. WBOP chose a Pay as You Throw scheme.
Papamoa Residents & Ratepayers Association has an Online Petition for ratepayers to record their views on the rubbish decision. The results will be presented to the Council in a public forum.

And don't forget that the ratepayers are fronting with the $8 million dollars to buy the bins, something we have never had to do before and a subsidy to envirowaste. That is after they steal your waste and the rightful business of the current contractors for no compensation. The council neither own your waste nor do they own the collection system. Theft on a grand scale.

am a Cranio Sacral therapist (CST) since 1996.
Originally qualified as a German physiotherapist in 1992, I changed my focus over the following years more and more to the more wholesome treatment CST.
CST is a very gentle, deeply relaxing whole body treatment, suitable for adults and kids.
Every day all of us experience physical and emotional stresses and strains, which cause our body’s tissues to contract. Sometimes, if stress lasts too long or the shock is severe, tissue remains contracted, which restricts our body’s functioning (“we are stuck”) and can lead to problems such as chronic pain, headaches/migraine, exhaustion, sleep disorders, digestive disorders, anxiety, TMD (trouble with the jaw), learning disabilities.
By balancing the environment around the central nervous system and enhancing the body’s natural ability to self-heal, CST is able to ease a large range of health problems, relieve pain and help improve our overall well-being.
While you are lying fully clothed on a treatment table, I will detect these problem areas with a light touch, feeling various parts of the body and help release stress and tension held deep within, thus freeing any energy previously used to hold restrictions.
In the last years my focus has been mostly on my kids and family, giving treatments to friends and people in need as I encountered them.
Now I have started to offer my services regularly again. You can find me and my Cranio Sacral colleague Rachel Penny in Cherrywood.
Our contacts are:
Friederike 027 495 7989
Rachel 022 0670 052
We are very much looking forward to meeting you!
