Rubbish in the river

Alistair from Pukete

My wife has just returned from swimming in the river at Delamere Rd and said a guy came down carrying a black plastic rubbish bag, friendly and said hello, went out to the edge of the rocks and sat down away from where she was swimming. When he left she noticed the bag was scrunched up in his hand … View moreMy wife has just returned from swimming in the river at Delamere Rd and said a guy came down carrying a black plastic rubbish bag, friendly and said hello, went out to the edge of the rocks and sat down away from where she was swimming. When he left she noticed the bag was scrunched up in his hand and obviously empty.
Description: Grey haired, glasses, 50-60's, T-shirt & shorts and wearing a high vis vest with a small dog white/brown.
This is just NOT ON – keep your eyes out: and YOU – don't dirty our river!

Through these tough times we have learned the true strength and resilience of our communities and have witnessed first hand the abundance of aroha in Aotearoa.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.

The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.

From Warkworth to Wigmore Hall, New Zealand star baritone Julien Van Mellaerts and South African pianist James Baillieu take you on a journey of the song from Schubert, Ravel and Vaughan Williams, to a world premiere setting of iconic NZ birds by Gareth Farr.

This journey through the world of art song and Lieder probes the human psyche with an intensity no other genre, not even opera, is permitted. Unhinged. Gruelling. Hallucinatory. Joyful. Beautiful. This ranks as the most searing experience any music lover can undergo.

Julien Van Mellaerts & James Baillieu: touring NZ 10-16 April

Honey, the terminally ill, road-tripping Boxer dog, has died

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

This isn't a Hamilton story, but it's a tale of love between a man and his dog. Waikato man Derrick Marshall took his Boxer dog, Honey, on a road trip to the top of the North Island in January.

This isn't a Hamilton story, but it's a tale of love between a man and his dog. Waikato man Derrick Marshall took his Boxer dog, Honey, on a road trip to the top of the North Island in January.
Honey had received a terminal cancer diagnosis, and Marshall wanted to do everything he could for her in the time she had left. Less than two months later, Honey had to be put down.
"Every day I think, did I do enough?" Marshall said. "But I did give her a good life. I took her everywhere and gave her everything."

Over the next few weeks we'll be introducing the amazing wahine who have accepted the challenge of our Trek to Transform trip to Vietnam which will take place in April.

First up - The amazing Dee Paranihi!

As a loved employee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation, Dee couldn’t pass up the amazing opportunity to explore Vietnam and help kids across Aotearoa at the same time. "We can all learn to believe what we have inside is greater than the things that stand in front of us, but we need to teach our kids this, we are not necessarily born thinking that way."

To find out more about Dee and how you can support her in this worthy cause visit dinglefoundation.org.nz...
