I've been contacted by a coach from a children's rugby team who regularly plays at Te Kowhai Village Green (the park opposite the dairy).
They've asked that I send a note out to all community members who take their dogs to the park and ask for you to PLEASE pick up your dog mess.

It is becoming a real problem apparently. Children are ending up getting muckier than they planned when playing sports.
Please be a tidy community member and clean up your dog poo.

Hi, I want to learn how to apply make-up, just on myself, but not sure where I can learn?? I know there are tons of videos available, but still would like some help. Fraser High used to offer adult class on make up, but they are not doing it anymore. Any ideas. Thanks.

Multi-world age group champions Jessie Smith and Cailen Calkin, both from the Waikato, are part of the five-strong New Zealand cycling team to compete at the Youth Olympic Games in Argentina.
The athletes will compete in the 13-day Games at Buenos Aires from 6-18 October in a team comprising BMX, mountain bike and road riders.
Smith was the 16 years BMX world champion in 2017 and ninth in her first year as a junior elite in 2018.
Calkin, a three-time Challenge world champion, was a quarterfinalist in the junior elite (under-19) category this year.
At the Youth Olympic Games the pair will compete in the BMX racing against other riders of the same sex, with their results to be combined as medals are awarded to the team with the most points.
The pair are joined by three mountain-bike riders (who also have road experience), Samara (Sammie) Maxwell (Taupo), Phoebe Young (Wanaka) and Max Taylor (Palmerston North).
Maxwell is the national under-19 mountain bike champion while Young is the Oceania under-19 winner and also New Zealand under-19 road time trial champion.
Taylor, the 2017 under-17 mountain bike champion, has also enjoyed success as a road rider.
The mountain bike/road riders will race in a criterium, time trial and road race (road cycling) with an eliminator and short track races for mountain bike.
Maxwell and Young will compete as a team in the female division. In the male division Taylor will compete alongside Calkin.
“The Youth Olympic Games is an important international stage for our young riders to experience the Olympic values and to both experience and understand the challenges of a vast multisport global competition,” said Cycling New Zealand HP Athlete Development Lead, Graeme Hunn.
“The International Olympic Committee continue to use this competition to incorporate fresh ideas and new sports, several of which have flowed through to international and Olympic events.”
This time we believe the competitions are really beneficial to our developing riders and we have selected a strong group of outstanding young people who we believe will acquit themselves well in and out of competition.”
“Well done to all of these athletes for all the hard work they’ve put in to make it to this point.”
New Zealand has an extremely proud cycling history at both Olympic and Commonwealth Games level and we look forward to these athletes becoming part of that legacy.”
The 2018 Youth Olympic Games will be the third edition of the summer youth Games. The Games are a pre-elite development opportunity for the world’s most promising young athletes, allowing them to experience a multi-sport games environment while exposing them to learning and cultural opportunities and helping them on the performance pathway.
