Hi Waikato,

Do you have a fire escape plan?

A fire that engulfed a house in Pokeno was found to have been caused by grass clippings catching alight on a lawnmower that was still hot from use.

Fire crews responded to the house fire on January 31, with four crews at the scene and another three dispatched.

Area Commander Geoff Purcell said that the occupants of the house were lucky to get out quickly. "This fire shows that fire can get very real, fast...It can take just three minutes for a fire to become deadly."

Share your thoughts below and please type NFP if you don't want your comments featured in your local community paper.

Step into an artist’s world

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

Step into the world of Taupō artist Steven Clark this month with his new exhibition, Welcome to My World, at Taupō Museum.

Step into the world of Taupō artist Steven Clark this month with his new exhibition, Welcome to My World, at Taupō Museum.

A self-taught artist, Clark is a member of the Active Arts Tuesday Painters group in Taupō and he focusses on acrylic and water colour paintings.

“Sometimes I use a photograph as reference, sometimes a postcard. But sometimes I just have an image in my head and I go to the canvas and paint. Sometimes those images come to me in my dreams,” he said.

Exhibitions officer Kerence Stephen said Clark painted in a different style to most, working in a linear fashion instead of layering as most painters did.

“Clark’s paintings are exceptional in their technical detail. It’s fascinating to study and ponder how he is able to get details so spot on,” she said.

Clark last held an exhibition at Taupō Museum in 1997 and can remember it vividly.

“Steven has an exceptional memory of the exhibition and recalls the date, day, time, how many works he exhibited and sold, along with the mayor at the time, Joan Williamson, opening the exhibition,” Ms Stephen said. “She has now accepted an invitation to open this exhibition some 24 years later, which is really exciting for Steven.”

The community is welcome to join Clark for the official opening on Friday, February 12 at 5.30pm.

Taupō Museum is open seven days from 10am to 4.30pm and entry is free to Taupō District residents with proof of address.

Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.
