An Auckland trucking company wishes to dump millions of cubic metres of industrial waste in a proposed site in Huntly, close to the only 'swimmable' lake left in the Waikato region. In 2012, a Waikato Regional Council scientist compared the nutrient levels in Waikato lakes to 1316 others globally and found them to be among the worst. This indicator has not shifted in the eight years since.
What do you think about the proposal?

So often NZers associate our group as being connected to the breeding of the Manx cat originating from the Isle of Man (IOM), when in fact we are a group of friendly people either of Manx birth or of Manx descent who meet socially about 4-5 times through the year. We do extend membership to people who are also interested in the Isle of Man, those that have visited there or people who like to follow TTs for instance.
Our get-togethers usually consist of a mid-day meal together in Hamilton (sometimes pot-luck) and at some of these events we also have a guest speaker. In July we celebrate the event for the open parliament day on the IOM called Tynwald Day, a system that has been in existence for over 1000 years. Earlier this year we had a mystery bus trip for our members.
If anyone is interested I can send details for our upcoming Christmas get-together which will be on first Saturday in December (5th). There is a cost for the meal for this luncheon.

Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Bevis, a resident at Ryman’s Anthony Wilding Village, recently received a gentleman’s makeover. The day began at the barbershop where Bevis and his barber Kohl shared plenty of laughs. Next up, a personal stylist helped Bevis select clothes he looked and felt great in. Being pampered isn’t the norm for Bevis but based on his smile, we’re confident he loved every minute.

The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!
