Lloyd McCall had a great idea: The pool needed a new roof; farmers needed new plants. And Chris Hughes had the plants. When you're relaxing at the West Otago Swimming Pool this summer, say thanks to these homegrown heroes!

Chief executive Richard Fletcher received between $510,000 and $520,000.
Fletcher says the company had to increase wages to "employ and retain highly skilled and qualified specialists", but Aurora whistle blower Richard Healey says households will be picking up the tab when they are slapped with "huge" price rises next year, expected to be about $500 or possibly more.
