A Potpourri of Plays coming soon to Khandallah

Tanya Piejus from

On 14, 15 and 16 May, KAT will be performing a season of four short plays:

Overtones by Alice Gerstenberg directed by Hayden Rogers
Written in 1915 this is considered the earliest example of a play that dramatizes the unconscious on stage. Along with Gerstenberg's ability to write witty, interesting dialogue, this intriguing format made the play an instant success when it was first performed.

Enigma by Floyd Dell directed by Archana Sahani
A man and woman are sitting at a table. It seems clear that they are lovers who are breaking up. But do they actually even know what’s happening? It turns out to be quite the enigma.

Two Metres written and directed by Shauna Mc Coole
An up-to-the-minute, topical comedy about what Covid-19 is doing to how we react to events and interact with others.

Five Foes – Three Clues written and directed by Thomas Barker
It is a dark and stormy night, and a gaggle of self-aware genre staples have been mysteriously plucked from their respective murder-mystery worlds in order to solve the greatest crime of all.... or at least the most obnoxious. Will they be able to put aside their differences and work together? Expect the pun-expected!

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.

Attention Doggy Parents: Cost-effective Dog Walks Are Now Available!

Shaun from WellyWags Dog Walkers

Would you like your dog to get more exercise during the week while you're at work? We're a father-and-son team setting up a new pack for small and small-friendly medium-sized dogs, offering daily walks and exercise in large fully-fenced areas starting from mid-October. We're WCC-registered dog walkers, with prices starting at $20 for daily outings (including pick-up and drop-off to your home). This way, you can give your dog exercise every day without breaking the bank, unlike costly doggy day care.

We currently have spaces available in this pack (pictured). Our excursions last up to two hours (including travel time), making it a great way to alleviate dog boredom, keep them fit, socialise them, and provide toilet breaks if they're stuck indoors. For more information, please message me (Shaun) or phone/text Peter on 021 222 9448.

We aim to be the second-best part of your dog's day – the first being when you come home, of course! :)

Peter and Shaun, WellyWags
