"My neighbour Ann, a retired special ed teacher, goes the extra mile for her community. On her neighbourhood walks she notices blocked drains, or dangerous pavements on school routes and spends time phoning the Council to get them fixed. She is part of a local group that petitioned for new school crossings on Takanini School Road. She volunteers at the local school for free maths tuition. She sets a really great example of looking out for her community and makes the world a better place."

Type NFP if you do not want your comments used for publication.
- The Turangi Tongariro Community Board (TTCB) has been presented with a commercial proposal to set up a container development in Turangi for start-up businesses dubbed ‘Urban HQ’.
The proposed site is the public carpark located at the south-end of the Turangi Town Centre.
This site is currently classed as a roadway, and as leasing a legal road is not permitted, the TTCB would need to recommend that council grants a Licence to Occupy.
The Board is seeking feedback from the community on the change in use of the public carpark.

He replaces outgoing chairman Ivan Haines who will remain on the union’s board.
Thomassen, who runs Thomassen Logging Ltd, has been active in the local rugby and business community for many years, said KCRFU rugby manager Josh Standen.
“Ron has sat on numerous other boards and committees in the wider Taupō area through this time and has been on the KCRFU board for the past five years.”
Thomassen played rugby in his day in Putaruru, said Standen, and his son, Ben is currently pursuing rugby in Canterbury.
The union was still on the hunt for a new general manager, he said, at a presentation of two new Hilux SR Prerunners at Taupō Toyota on Friday (July 10) morning.
The vehicles, purchased by the union and serviced free by the business, would allow him and operations manager Kurt McQuilkin to get around the area they had to cover, including the union’s significant rural heartland.

With Covid-19 still a very real risk, people who are unwell are told to stay home, and to keep any sickly kids home too - but what if you don't have any more sick leave owing?
