As we come up to the festive season, a lot of us want to shop online and look for good bargains 🛍️🛒

Here’s a few tips to help you stay safe, avoid buying stolen property, and not get taken advantage of:
💸If it is too good to be true, it probably is, or it could be stolen property.
💸If it’s being sold as new, ask for the receipt for the warranty. If they can’t provide it, that’s a red flag.
💸Check the seller’s profile, is it new or relatively blank?
💸If you make a purchase and need to meet somebody to get it, choose somewhere well-lit and well populated in public, near CCTV. If it has to be somebody’s home, take someone with you and let someone else know where you’re going and when.
💸Be especially cautious when buying power tools or high-end toy brick building block sets.

Sadly, if you unknowingly buy stolen property, you’re aiding criminals and inadvertently supporting them to steal more.
If you find a suspect listing or social media scam, call 105, or report it with us online at 105.police.govt.nz

Hemp is a highly nutritious plant-based protein source, conveniently
packaged in a small seed, rich in beneficial omegas, minerals, and essential amino acids. Hemp food nourishes and benefits overall health, brain function, joint mobility, and optimal functioning of the body.

Heart Health: Hemp Seed Oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. These fatty acids may help lower bad cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and support overall heart health.

Skin Health: The fatty acids in Hemp Seed Oil can help nourish skin from within. They may aid in managing conditions like dry skin, eczema, and psoriasis when taken regularly.

Brain Function: Omega-3 fatty acids found in Hemp Seed Oil are associated with brain health. They may play a role in supporting memory, focus, and overall brain development.

Joint Health: Hemp seed oil, a naturally supporting Joint Health Oil, is praised for its nutrient-rich composition, especially its balanced omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are vital for maintaining healthy joints. This dietary supplement is recognised for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can aid in reducing joint pain and improving flexibility.

Inflammation Reduction: The gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) present in Hemp Seed Oil has anti-inflammatory properties that may help alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions like arthritis.

Nutrient Absorption: The fatty acids in Hemp Seed Oil may enhance the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. This can contribute to overall better nutrient uptake.

Canterbury school celebrates new whare

The opening of Rangiora High School’s new whare has been a long time coming, board of trustees presiding member Simon Green says.

The school opened the $1.8 million cultural learning centre, Te Ao Mārama, with a pōwhiri last week after a nine month build.

‘‘It was fully board funded and it has been a long time coming,’’ Mr Green said.

‘‘We are embarrassed it has taken this long, but we are proud we are here and we are able to provide this nice space for students to celebrate their culture.’’

Up until now, Te Reo and kapa haka lessons have been held in an old prefab building across the road from the main school site.

Green said the next major project for board is developing a new performing arts centre for the school and wider community, while it continues to invest in the whenua (school farm).

Principal Bruce Kearney paid tribute to former principal, the late Peter Allen, who had the foresight to employ a Te Reo teacher and establish a whānau classroom for Māori students back in 1990.

‘‘We have built this in a time when it is acceptable to build things like this, whereas Peter created something we didn’t have before.’’

He described the new whare as ‘‘simplistic and beautiful’’
‘‘It is all about form and function,’’ he said.

The new building will be used as a classroom, to host performances and for functions.

‘‘Come summertime this is where we will have concerts and performances for our music and drama students,’’ Kearney said.

‘‘So it will be a performing arts centre as well, until we can build a purpose-built one.

‘‘One of the first things I said post-earthquake was we’ve got to stop building things which only open on weekdays or on Sundays.’’

Kearney said the new whare will be a space for the community, as well as the school, and for all cultures.

The 176sqm building has a fully equipped kitchen.

It can provide a classroom for 30 student desks, seat up to 100 people for performances or 40 people for dining, and 20 people sleeping.

The name, Te Ao Mārama, which means the world of enlightenment, was gifted to the school by Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

3-tier home-made worm farm (wooden) ($40)

This is an awesome little backyard 3-tier worm farm. (Start with one tier, when full, add the second, then the third. Always feed only the top tier.)

I made this from wood as I didn't want a big plastic thing in my backyard. It works great. Ideal for a domestic garden.
