The movie mogul says:
"Secondhand Lions " is one of those sleeper movies you sometimes hear about. Due to the wonderful script, direction and acting by all the principals, this one unfolds like a rose in bloom.Before you know it, the movie has you totally in its grasp and the characters become three dimensional as their battles battles become yours as well.The plot is simple: A teenage boy is dumped on his crusty great-uncles by his scheming mother who wants the kid to find where the uncles may have hidden their reputably stolen fortune. The uncles, played by Michael Caine and Robert Duvall, work well together as brothers who are slow to warm up to their rather precious nephew. Eventually the layers begin to peel away as the boy learns about the earlier thrilling adventures of the uncles and begins to see them as potential role models.
But then, are their stories true? Should the boy return to his mother? Should the uncles fight to keep him around? This movie made us lough and cry. It touches on every aspect of growing old. It addresses the right way to live and the wrong way. A perfect movie for MAPUANS.

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!
Poll: Should we be pushing a soft-plastics recycling rollout across the whole region 🗑️
Nelson City Council has confirmed that the kerbside soft plastic trial is continuing for the current 1,000 homes. It’s a fantastic step towards being more sustainable, but many of us are still waiting for our turn.
We want to know: Should we be pushing for a rollout across the whole region? Or are you happy to keep using the drop-off points at the supermarket for now?
