Hello all , I am repeating the info on Bal A Vis X trainings here as some parents might not find it under the health heading where I also posted it.
Re Bal A Vis X trainings,
If you have or you know children wanting/needing help to address reading/writing/attention challenges(commonly referred to as "
", "ADD", "dyslexia", "dyspraxia", "aspergers" , "autism" and many other such names used to describe different behaviours and learning styles), please feel free to inquire about the Bal A Vis X training schedules. I am a NZ registered teacher and I trained with Bill Hubert in this fun and very effective method of working towards coherence and optimal natural development in youngsters .
These exercises are highly effective in increasing all children's holistic development with emphasise on the visual, auditive, rhythmic and balance aspects.
Trainings are held in small groups, initially one on one and gradually up to groups of 4 children. Can be done at student's home if there is an absolutely flat hard levelled smooth floor area available or at my practice situated on Dovedale Av.
To know more about research and the benefits of Bal A Vis X training, please see the following links

If you or your friends are looking for a very effective and really fun way to move forward with a challenged youngster (or any youngster for that matter.. who ever said life was a never ending piece of cake :0) ??? ), please feel free to contact me on 021734420 or E mail me at ourplacejuanita@hotmail.com .

Do you recognise this bike? It was dumped outside my house in exchange for my sons brand new 24inch bike that he just received for his birthday.

Has someone come home with a brand new black and green Milazo bike with some speckles of mud on tyres and frame that you didn't know they had. Or has anyone seen a bike of this description dumped anywhere? The seat is up on this red adventurer bike so I presume it is an adult or tall person. My son is devasted at this lost. It has happened somewhere between 12.00 pm last night and this morning. I live on Racecourse road between Bucannans and Waterloo road. Could it have been someone you know that works at the many factories close by that have turned up with a new bike at work today? I am on my own and it took a great deal of savings to purchase this for my son I am very distraught at the thought that somebody could just help themselves. If you know anything please call Tracey 0273802571

Although designed to initially take a 29” old style box tv, (hence the depth), it was made with the intention of upgrading to a 40” flat screen. However we upgraded to a 50 inch which don’t fit but did use recently at last house for stereo and record collection.

Design allows for unit to sit either against a flat wall, or can be diagonal over a room corner as the ends of the unit are angled

Poll: Neighbourhood food + yard waste to compost

Megan from Burnside

Hi everyone! I’m just about to move to Burnside and was wondering if anyone would be interested in me providing a food and yard waste collection to compost service?
The difference between me and CCC would be that you’ll get compost at the end of it!

Neighbourhood food + yard waste to compost
  • 33.3% Yes - for food scraps and a compost return
    33.3% Complete
  • 22.2% Yes - just when I have an overloaded bin
    22.2% Complete
  • 44.4% No - I’d rather use the ccc bins provided or I make my own
