Take on the Bite’Z Wing Challenge

Do you like chicken wings? Do you want to become the ultimate Wing Slayer?

Then you need to head into Bite’Z Tavern and take part in their Wing Challenge!

The challenge is to eat the most chicken wings in one visit. The staff will judge if you have eaten enough meat off the wings to count, so don’t think you can get away with just taking one bite. Your total wings eaten will go onto the tally chart at Bite’Z and the person with the highest score will win the title of ‘Wing Slayer’ for the month. The winner will receive a Wing Slayer shirt and a free serve of chicken wings anytime they wear the shirt into Bite’Z Tavern.

The official challenge starts Friday 24th June but Jason and Jonesy from the radio station just had to have a go first. So on Thursday they sat down to the first Wing Challenge. It started off with all smiles between the two food soldiers, especially while sitting with Stuart and Kyme from the Rigters Group.

But it didn’t take long for the competitiveness to get the better of them.

Both wanting to win the title of Wing Slayer for June.

And they were off…

But in the end there can only be one Wing Slayer – 
Jason – 30 wings
Jonesy – 28 wings

If you want to be like Jason and claim the title of Wing Slayer make sure you get down to Bite’Z Tavern on the corner of Durlacher St and George Rd, and see how many wings you can stomach.

Let the games begin!

Feeling stressed? Tired? Need a massage?

Then you should go and see Olivia at Olivia’s Therapeutic Massage and Reflexology.

Olivia is a professional masseuse, who is also qualified in reflexology and aromatherapy. 

Getting a massage can help with so many things within the body including to relieve stress, encourage relaxation, improve posture and circulation, relax muscles and relieve headaches – just to name a few! Olivia will work with you to choose the best massage for your problem areas.

Olivia’s Therapeutic Massage offers the following treatments:

Therapeutic Deep Tissue Massage

Techniques that utilize deep-tissue/deep-muscle massage are administered to affect the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. These techniques require advanced training and a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. The muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep-tissue massage, otherwise tight surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature. It helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. It is integrated with other massage techniques.

½ Hour - $60 1 Hour - $100 1½ Hour - $145

Neck, Back & Shoulder Pressure Point Massage

Neck & Shoulder pressure points are stimulated during the therapeutic massage session to relieve point stress. Helps with neck and shoulder pain stiffness caused from our modern day computer life.

½ Hour - $60

Aromatherapy Essential Oil Massage

The use of essential oils (extracted from herbs, flowers, resin, woods, and roots) in body and skin care treatments is known as aromatherapy. Used as a healing technique for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, essential oils aid in relaxation, improve circulation, and help the healing of wounds. Aromatherapy diffusers are utilized to fill the massage room with the scent of the oils. Specific essential oils are blended by the aroma therapist and added to a carrier oil, such as almond oil, to be used during the massage. Each oil has its own unique characteristics and benefits.

1 Hour - $100 1½ Hour - $145

Full Body Relaxation Massage (Swedish Massage)

One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. The disrobed client is covered by a sheet, with only the area being worked on exposed. Therapists use a combination of kneading, rolling, vibrational, percussive, and tapping movements, with the application of oil, to reduce friction on the skin. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.

1 Hour - $90

Reflexology Therapeutic Foot Massage

Based on an ancient Chinese therapy, reflexology involves manipulation of specific relax areas in the foot, hands and ears that correspond to other parts of the body. Sometimes referred to as zone therapy, this bodywork involves applications of pressure to these reflex zones to stimulate body organs and relieve areas of congestion. Reflexology stimulates circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids. It is especially useful in stress related illness and emotional disorders.

½ Hour - $60 1 Hour - $100

Foot Spa Massage

A tremendous foot massage infused with aromatic essential oils. Our Natural spa ingredients are an integral part of the service.

½ Hour - $60

Facial Massage

A Series of massage techniques using acupressure points, lymphatic drainage strokes, and facial massage strokes, Facelift massage is designed to firm sagging skin, stimulate blood and oxygen, release toxins, and soften lines. The treatment also consists of cleansing and exfoliating.

½ Hour - $60

All treatments are followed by refreshments.

Local business celebrates rebrand and restructure

New brand, better structure, that’s Geraldton’s RSM; now offering a wider, more accessible personal and friendly service.

Global accounting firm, RSM Bird Cameron, was rebranded simply RSM in October last year and since then Geraldton’s arm of the global network has been headed by Director, Trevor Lake, who is supported by Principal, Travis Bate and a highly qualified team of over 35 managers and staff. John Thomson who was formerly with RSM resigned from the partnership in November 2015. 

The new structure allows clients more accessibility to a team dedicated just to them; that will look after their interests in a confidential but friendly manner.

“We have changed the methodology for the better,” said Mr Lake.

“We have expanded our business offering and made the shift to adding more value to clients’ business, rather than just taking care of statutory obligations.”

New - and some expanded services - include bookkeeping at an affordable cost; bookkeeping packages tailored to business needs; business health checks; monthly management information; and help with completing budgets.

RSM provides advice for self-managed superannuation funds along with advice on succession planning, business valuations; and a big point of difference as a local business, is that RSM boasts a regional based audit practice – with a registered auditor on the team.

Mr Bate said although RSM is recognised as a global network, the Geraldton community can be assured their business will be taken care of locally, by local people.

“RSM is a big supporter of the Geraldton community, and we like to retain local staff so we’re happy to pay for their education through university,” he said.

“It’s a bonus to have people with local knowledge on staff; particularly those who may not have had the opportunity to study. 

“RSM sponsors the Geraldton Universities Centre annual award for the Best Accounting Student.”

Since July 1 last year, RSM has administered Business Local - a free service through the Small Business Development Corporation which is a successor program to the Small Business Centre program.

The beauty of this program is that it is a regionally-based free service, with face-to-face consultancy throughout the Mid West, Wheatbelt, Gascoyne and Pilbara.

“It is imperative to deliver this service to small businesses throughout the region,” said Mr Bate.

“Small businesses are important drivers of economic and social capacity, without small businesses towns will suffer. Business Local is a free service delivered by highly qualified advisers and in the current economic climate businesses are encouraged to take advantage of this free service.”

RSM is a great supporter of local sport and business, sponsoring basketball, tennis, rugby, softball and golf clubs along with small business awards, a business breakfast group and the Variety Club of WA.

“We believe in giving back to the community that supports us,” said Mr Lake.

Contact RSM on 9920 7400 for a friendly, confidential chat.
