ARTS & IDEAS - CREATIVITY Programme TERM 3

Sylvie Bolstad from ARTMAKERS Community Artists Trust

Arts & Ideas is a unique and flexible art exploration programme, aimed at bringing out confidence and creative thinking in both adult beginners and continuers. Each term we explore a variety of media, techniques and themes, traditional and contemporary arts, culture & ideas intermingle, and we also explore personal stories. Some participants have done no art since they were children, and rediscover the joy of artmaking. Practicing artists are challenged to work in a collaborative, community way. Art is a universal language that makes it possible to bridge these differences and find commonality. Artmakers has 33 years of experience working with learners at all ages and stages, so everyone can find something that grows their creativity. The conversations are just as interesting ! Held on Wednesdays, x8 sessions per term. All classes on Wednesdays: Term 3 July 25 - Sept 12. Mornings 9:30 am - 12:30 pm pr Evenings 5:30 - 8:30 pm $120 per term for either morning or evening session.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

South Waikato mayor Gary Petley will make a public apology, and has sworn off social media after admitting he got it wrong when an online dispute turned sour.

A code of conduct complaint was made by Putāruru ward councillor Zed Latinovic in January after Petley reacted to comments made about council expenditure on Facebook by using the ‘poo emoji’.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
