"TARANAKI MIDWEEK" MISSED DELIVERIES DOWN OMATA ROAD FOR 3 WEEKS CONTINUOUS THIS JULY/AUGUST 2020!
I've just found out about this 'Home of Football'! I must be missing something - probably because I keep missing my "Midweek" newspaper - I have to chase it up nearly every week, finally got one on Sat. but they missed me for 3 weeks running! SO 'STUFF', CAN YOU PLEASE RECTIFY THIS APALLING STATE OF AFFAIRS?? and its the same for everyone on my ROAD and it means we don't get any Community news at all!! Come on, if you want to be a Real Source of News, and an Advertiser of Commercial/NGO's Products, then you have to get the Distribution sorted AND RELIABLE! And if necessary, PAY MORE TO YOUR DELIVERY PERSONS AS REQUIRED! (We have done this work with our children over the years and we know that the 'pay' is a PITTANCE!)
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
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!
