Good home wanted for tame young rooster

Kay from Waiuku

Stripes is a 4 month old chicken who unfortunately has just started to look and sound like a rooster. He has been hand reared by two young girls, but since he is now crowing, he is no longer allowed in the city. As you can see, he's very tame and is used to being handled and cuddled. … View moreStripes is a 4 month old chicken who unfortunately has just started to look and sound like a rooster. He has been hand reared by two young girls, but since he is now crowing, he is no longer allowed in the city. As you can see, he's very tame and is used to being handled and cuddled. He's part araucana (was hatched from a blue egg) and part Plymouth barred rock - it would appear. Need a new home urgently for him. (Phone 021 2591305)

A fully funded 10 week program run by a registered physiotherapist and specialist in cancer rehab. Call the clinic to book your place 09 2391856 www.totalphysiotherapy.co.nz... and get more details or go to pincandsteel.com to register for funding.
It's time to take control again, your "Next Steps" program is waiting.....



Sue Hull, Becky Onyett, Jeanette Irwin and Shona Oates are looking forward to the new exercise programme coming to Pukekohe, designed for people who have had cancer.
A new exercise programme for people who have had cancer will come to Pukekohe in August.

The PINC & STEEL Cancer Rehabilitation Trust has a programme called Next Steps, that is designed for people who have finished their main cancer treatment and would like to become more active under professional guidance.

Total Physiotherapy director Becky Onyett is a Next Steps trained instructor and is looking forward to providing the programme.

"I was wanting to give people the ability to take ownership back of their body through exercise." Onyett said.

"Being a physiotherapist, I know this is a safe programme and I feel passionate about that and I know the body well.

"It's surprising how much people take on board and make changes when their head is in the right space. Total Physio's [mantra] is quality movement for body and mind, and that relates to the programme."

The classes run for 10 weeks during the school term and are specifically designed for those who have been affected by cancer.

The classes are a mix of pilates, yoga and cardio exercises. The classes are fully for breast cancer patients, by Franklin Breast Cancer Support Group and the PINC & STEEL Cancer Rehabilitation Trust fully funds the classes for people who have had any other kind of cancer.

Onyett said helping people who had been through cancer was something she was passionate about, and was confident significant changes would take place

"People can go through all sorts of crazy things. I've been through open heart surgery and an aortic valve replacement. I suppose that also highlights to me that life is...trying to make the best of what you can, for the time that we have, and to enjoy it.

"I'm hopeful that it will help these ladies and men on these next steps, with Next Steps - taking them on board and maintaining them will be a game changer in their lives."

Franklin Breast Cancer Support Group's Shona Oates said she backed the programme completely, and knew first hand how hard it could be to exercise after cancer treatment.

"You can be nervous about how far you can push your body (after treatment) and having a trained physio with you helps encourage you and you can say 'yes I can do this'."

To register for the programme go to pincandsteel.com.
