Violinist wows Taranaki
Emmalena Huning has arrived from Australia this week, and has been practising with the Taranaki Symphony Orchestra for her concert on Saturday night where she will play the Sibelius Violin Concerto. This is a real coup for our local orchestra to be the first in NZ to attract this young rising music star.
But she has had a busy time in Taranaki also having an interview with Radio NZ Concert Radio (will be broadcast on Friday), giving a talk and demonstration to the Taranaki Youth Orchestra to inspire younger players, being interviewed by Stuff (Daily News), and tonight being interviewed by Bryan Vickery on Hokonui Radio.

Some Choice News!
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!
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
