Once in a Lifetime
Tonight and tomorrow our senior students perform this wonderfully whimsical look at the weirdness that is Hollywood in the early days of the 'talkies'. They are directed by our patron and well known local Laurie Mills. Door sales at the Harlequin Theatre tonight Oct 5th at 7:30pm and a matinee tomorrow Oct 6th at 1:30pm are only $10 per head.
And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!

VISITING OPPOSUMS 24/5/24
I have been regularly getting 2 opossums in my guava trees and Auckland Council has been no help nor has pest control. So it is up to me to buy a trap and try to catch them, which is really disappointing. I have a lot of bird life in the back yard and I can see the opossums scaling branches for nests etc. Next they will be in our roofs. Can someone help me or give me some advice, as they are not my pets and it should be a community concern, as I just happened to notice them in the dark by being in the backyard, while a lot of community members are in their houses especially in this cold weather.
