Some sad news from this morning council meeting with it being announced that the Museum could be shut for two years.
Rotorua Lakes Council chief financial officer Thomas Colle said the engineers rating of the building, which had been expected in April, was now likely to be ready in June.
It would then take another six months to go through the design options for the repair.
What do you think about this news?

I am not sure who the contractor is who does our road verge mowing down Te Ngae Road but I would like them to know the kindness of the dear man mowing Te Ngae Road today.

I was biking to school with my son and he paused as we went by so we didn't get sprayed by dirt and grass. I nodded my thanks.
On my way back he paused a good 20 seconds before I got to him so the dust could settle. This time I shouted my thanks.
What would it take for us to all acknowledge the kindness of those simple gestures? What kindness can we each be in the small things that can contribute to a more joyful community and planet?
1000 kindness points to this sweet Mower Man!
Thank you again!

That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.
HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop, the viruses are mostly transmitted by teenagers and young adults but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they are young. Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their life. Protecting children before they are exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.
For more information about HPV immunisation, see www.health.govt.nz/hpv
