It’s a time for fine-tuning your skills and pushing the boundaries, catching up with your mates and heading off on new adventures at the drop of a hat! No, we’re not talking about your 20s, we’re talking about your retirement.

Ross’ retirement saw the beginning of his musical journey where his passion quickly evolved from making music, to crafting guitars. It all started when Ross and some mates joined a music group where the camaraderie and togetherness were just as important as the music.

Living in a Ryman village, Ross can continue living life to the full in his retirement because they are places where you don’t retire from life, you find a new way to live .

New Zealand’s lush green pastures and temperate climate means our country produces some of the world’s best beef.

New Zealand is one of McDonald’s top ten beef-producing markets and it’s such a hit with the rest of the world that a significant percentage of NZ’s beef exports are to international McDonald’s markets.

We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including Whangara Farms which was the first beef farm outside of Europe to be invited to the McDonald’s Flagship Farmers programme.

ANZCO Foods, based in the small Taranaki town of Waitara, are responsible for making our 100% beef patties. About 90% of the staff at the Waitara plant are locals and they manage to produce around half a million patties each day.

Our quality beef cuts are minced and that’s it. No additives or fillers, just mince that is formed in patties, before they’re flash-frozen and sent to restaurants.

From Local Democracy Reporter Lois Williams:

Rosco Contracting had applied to the West Coast Regional Council for resource consent to take up to 12,000 cubic metres of material stockpiled at the Ravensdown fertiliser plant in Hornby.

The waste – mainly contaminated soil and asbestos fines – was to have been buried in sealed pods at the private dump on the outskirts of Reefton.

The regional council confirmed on Friday that both parties had pulled out.


Compliance team leader Colin Helem said the council had received confirmation requesting that the consent application be withdrawn.

“The decision to withdraw the application was mutual between Mr Moore (Rosco owner) and Ravensdown – they have not provided a reason for the withdrawal.”

Rosco director Ross Moore was reluctant to comment, but said he had not set out to upset anyone.

On this day, 106 years ago, New Zealand and Australian soldiers – the Anzacs – landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

Nowadays, Anzac Day serves as a day to acknowledge all those who have died in warfare, and honours returned servicemen and women.

Traditional dawn services have returned across New Zealand this year, after the Covid-19 pandemic put a stop to them last year.
