We hear of global warming,we hear of flash flooding.Here in Tokoroa it’s become a nice little earner.
A contractor tours the town and clears the drains of rubbish,plastic bottles leaves
etc.Great you may think.
But instead of removing them he or she ( can’t afford to be sexist these days) … View moreWe hear of global warming,we hear of flash flooding.Here in Tokoroa it’s become a nice little earner.
A contractor tours the town and clears the drains of rubbish,plastic bottles leaves
etc.Great you may think.
But instead of removing them he or she ( can’t afford to be sexist these days) places them directly above the drain, on the grass berm.
A slight breeze or rain sees this debris back in the drain again.
I can only assume the contractor has a relation on the local council.
The council has been made aware of this situation,but considering what else has been a total stuff up in this town I must admit this is insignificant.

The exhibition, Colour My Autumn, has been a labour of love for Takarangi, who regards autumn as the most beautiful time of year. She was born and bred in Turangi before moving to Wellington and then London, before returning home. She said the beautiful colours of Turangi in autumn influenced her love of the season.
“For as long as I can remember I have had a fascination of autumn and its changing elements,” she said.
She said Colour My Autumn brought together elements that embraced her passion for reusing, recycling, repurposing and rethinking.
Colour My Autumn runs from April 6 to May 13 at Taupō Museum. Taupō District residents and children can visit free of charge.
Takarangi is also holding school holiday workshops during the upcoming school holidays with funding from Creative Taupō and the Creative Communities Scheme. See the Taupō Library and Museum school holiday programme for more information.

The project won runner-up in the Best Local Government Project for its museum exhibition and schools programme that celebrated 10 years of the Sister City friendship.
Council representatives were presented with the award at New Zealand’s annual Sister Cities conference in Palmerston North on March 22. The museum exhibition, Suzhou – Faith and Life 618AD-1279AD, ran from September to November and over 5000 people visited and a schools programme ran alongside it.
Head of economic development and business transformation John Ridd said it was fantastic for the council to be recognised for a project of this scale that had far reaching benefits.

Poppy, a Hungarian vizsla/heading dog cross, was brought to the pound by a hunting dog breeder who did not need her but wanted her in safe hands. Instead of adopting her out, the compliance team decided to keep the little bundle of energy with a view to turning her into an education dog. She has just turned one, and has plenty more training to undergo before she is taken to preschools, schools and community groups for her future work.
Poundkeeper Craig O’Leary said Poppy was a happy, energetic and curious young dog who was a delightful addition to the team.
“Her natural herding ability means she is always trying to get the cat to do what she wants,” he laughed.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.
The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.
