Tonida (Sp?) is from Sumatra and she and her family (many work at the cafe) are delightful. The toasted cheese scones are very good and so is the coffee. It is definitely worth a trip down the road from town to sit outside under the trees having a yarn with the locals. Visit them on Thursday and Friday if you can as they could use more business then. It is a great place to stop if you are cycling the Rimutakas or walking in Kaitoke forest. They are renovating a cottage to take guests and it would be a lovely spot to stay.

FLAWED PROCESS FLAWED RESULT

Jan from Ebdentown

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK WE SHOULD 'LET THE EXPERTS' GET ON WITH IT

Faulting people for exercising their right to demand transparency and accountability from the people we elect and pay for with our rates, is a form of self disenfranchisement, a giving up of your rights.

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK WE SHOULD 'LET THE EXPERTS' GET ON WITH IT

Faulting people for exercising their right to demand transparency and accountability from the people we elect and pay for with our rates, is a form of self disenfranchisement, a giving up of your rights.

Demanding information, transparency and accountability is exactly what we all should be doing, everyone of us whatever our opinions. It is a responsibility of all of us in society to do so.
It is called democracy, it is critical that we hold those in power, especially those we are taxed to govern us, to account.

A badly conceived and not really researched 'Philosophical Trend' and a new Library Manager also paid for by our rates, our public servant, doing a 'new broom' thing, by downgrading the Library.

No sorting into genre - less person hours, less persons employed by the Library. No icon on bindings, a saving there, as staff don't have to apply them and don't need them any more to facilitate sorting into genre before shelving, time and wages saved. Money to be used elsewhere (astro turf)?

Now we have many people, ratepayers, not liking their Library experience for a variety of valid reasons due to the changes, feeling alienated, we haven't changed the Library changed, we are due a review which I for one, will look forward to attending.

I always encourage anyone who has any point of view to not just say it on social media and think it is picked up by politicians, central or local government, you are wrong.
Unless you contact and comment to them directly, you don't get counted.
Whatever your point of view, express it to your elected representatives directly.
Make your voice heard where your vote matters.
They interpret your silence as permission, and that you are OK with how things are going.

Over the next few weeks we'll be introducing the amazing wahine who have accepted the challenge of our Trek to Transform trip to Vietnam which will take place in April.

First up - The amazing Dee Paranihi!

As a loved employee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation, Dee couldn’t pass up the amazing opportunity to explore Vietnam and help kids across Aotearoa at the same time. "We can all learn to believe what we have inside is greater than the things that stand in front of us, but we need to teach our kids this, we are not necessarily born thinking that way."

To find out more about Dee and how you can support her in this worthy cause visit dinglefoundation.org.nz...
