Road Safety display a timely reminder
A display outlining the causes of fatalities on our roads has taken centre stage behind the library.
Taupō District Councillor Kevin Taylor paid tribute to those who are no longer with us, reminding us all to take more care on the roads with the increased amount of Christmas travellers on our roads.
“With the holidays on us and the joy of Christmas next week, consider that this year the Taupō road toll stands at 20. That’s 20 people not here for Christmas or the new year. They represent families, Whānau, communities, and work places that have a gap they left.
There is a graphic display behind the Taupō library outlining this cost. Remember we all share the roads and the responsibility for using them safely.
I trust you have a blessed and safe Christmas.”

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
