Part time Work wanted.
Hiya neighbors. I am looking to find some part time employment in the Kaiapoi/Rangiora area, however I will certainly look at places further afield as well.
I am a fully qualified signwriter with over 40 years of experience. I am also a Graphic Designer but with a flare for large format advertising, however I also enjoy setting up flyers, posters & creating corporate imaging for business cards & logos etc.
I have owned a large sign company in the past & am a skilled project manager. I have used Corel X7, Photoshop & Illustrator as design tools.
I am very versatile & still keen to learn (after all these years!).
If anyone is interested, or knows of someone who may be, please get in touch, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks to all. Lynda Whitehead.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
32.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
67.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
