Friday FACT Time passes faster for your face than for your feet (assuming you’re standing up). Einstein’s theory of relativity dictates that the closer you are to the centre of the Earth, the slower time goes – and this has been measured. At the top of Mount Everest, a year would be about 15 microseconds shorter than at sea level.
Fill a shoebox, children urge Story and photo by Celeste Lodewyk Young members of the Blenheim Elim Church are really excited about their Operation Christmas Child project, and have been busy putting together shoeboxes of donated gifts. Elim Church is co-ordinating this year’s collection for non-profit organisation Samaritan’s Purse and members have made it their mission to increase donations by 20 percent this year. Regan Phillips enthusiastically showed off the items he had been making with his family and the church, including bracelets, wooden planes and stick figure puppets. Libby Ponder, along with her brothers Riley and Joshua have put a lot of thought into their donations, saying they are “happy it helps the needy”. “It’s a fun way to help others who aren’t as fortunate as us. It’s nice to know other

children will be getting a Christmas gift,” say Libby and Joshua. All support is greatly appreciated and shoe boxes can be collected and dropped back to the Sun Newspaper on High Street, St Mary’s Church, Church of Nativity, Wesley Centre and the Elim Christian Centre. Decide whether you will
pack a box for a girl or a boy, and which age category (2-4), (5-9), or (10-14), then fill it with items including a quality ‘wow’ toy such as a doll, soccer ball with pump, or stuffed animal as well as other fun toys, hygiene items, and school supplies. Shoeboxes will be collected from the drop off centres at the end of October.
From ‘I can’... to ‘I do’
Week 16
Sun reporter Celeste Lodewyk’s health journey as she approaches her wedding day.
Average results, new challenge The results are in from my weigh-in and measure. I have lost a further 4.8cm off my body, mainly around my waist which is positive. The total I have lost now sits at 18.8cm. It’s definitely noticeable as many of my clothes are loose and some are too big. My personal trainer Emma Burrell assures me that the exercises I have been doing have been strengthening and toning, adding weight from muscle mass so she has told me to not get hung up on what the scales say. But in order for me to start shifting the weight faster I need to kick it up a notch, so Emma and I will introduce a weekly 45 minute workout to focus more on the cardio. So the two challenges I have set myself for the next month is to introduce five weekly cardio sessions in addition to my routine and weekly workout, and I have also decided to

tackle a 30 day sugar free challenge. The challenge is all about not consuming any foods or drinks that have added sugar of any kind. I will still have naturally occurring sugars that are found in plain yoghurt, fresh fruit and vegetables and I will have to be extremely mindful of everything I eat. I have been really surprised to learn that sugar has many names and is almost always disguised in the ingredient list on food packets. To help me I went to the health food shop on Queen Street and purchased a book titled ‘New Zealand’s Famous Wholefoods Handbook’. I plan to use this to help me explore more health and organic food options to help me along my healthy journey.
