Poll: When's too early for DIY?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We can all generally agree that noise from loud music or parties in the early hours of Sunday is a no-no. But when is it okay to fire up the power tools, leaf blower or lawn mower on a Sunday morning?

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the We Say You Say… View more

Also online via Zoom

During the colonial period (1910-1945), Korean workers were forced to go and work on the Japan-owned southern half of the Sakhalin Island for logging and mining industry. When Japan lost the war in 1945, the Japanese were repatriated.

However, the Koreans were left in the hands of the Soviet troops. This talk is about the life of those Korean men and women who lived there in despair, longing for their families in their homeland of Korea.

About the speaker
Dr Changzoo Song is Senior Lecturer in Asian Studies at the University of Auckland. Receiving his Ph.D. in Politics from the University of Hawai’i as an East-West Centre Fellow, he worked in the United States, Latvia, and Ukraine joining the University of Auckland in 2002.

His research interests include nationalism, national identity, and Korean diasporic identities. He travelled in the Soviet Union, including Sakhalin, in the early 1990s when the country broke apart.

Do you have some free time mid day during the school holidays?
We are looking for kind and caring volunteers to assist with supervising children aged 5-12 during lunch break. This role entails sitting with the children, having a chat while they eat and handing out some creative activities to do for those who are fast eaters! Afterwards, weather permitting, volunteers take the children to the field adjacent to Mairangi Arts Centre and keep an eye on them while they burn off some energy.

Requirements:
Reliable, enjoy being around children, kind, caring. No Police record.

Date periods : 25-29 September and 2-6 October

Time Commitment
Shifts start at 11.30am for approximately two hours. If you can only help one day that's fine, any assistance is appreciated.

Complimentary Milo, cookie and sandwich provided on the day for those that can assist us.

Please contact Christine at christine@mairangiarts.co.nz if you are keen to help or have any questions.

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…
