The bus driver stop-work meeting on Friday 19 October between 9am and 3pm means some of our services will unfortunately be cancelled in Wellington city and Hutt Valley.
Our speaker this week was Rodney Wong, a well-known Manawatu business leader, and prominent Rotarian. He was accompanied by his wife, and Scott Bruce (‘Scotty’), a member of Milson Rotary Club and co-founder of the Wildbase Recovery Centre in Palmerston North.

He was accompanied by his wife, and Scott Bruce (‘Scotty’), a member of Milson Rotary Club and co-founder of the Wildbase Recovery Centre in Palmerston North.
The purpose of Wildbase is to rehabilitate wild birds and animals treated at Massey University, especially threatened species, and allow the public to view the activities at the Centre.
The Wildbase vision grew out of the success of Scotty’s kiwi house project, and the need to upgrade the wildlife hospital at Massey University. The City Council already operated an aviary in the Esplanade, which could be included in a new facility.
Rodney and Scotty focussed on the way a collaboration developed between Massey, three local Iwi, the City Council, and Rotary. Consultants from Seattle were engaged to develop a feasibility study and preliminary budget. Although Wildbase would benefit the local community, it was decided to avoid loading the funding burden onto it, if at all possible.
This has been achieved through sponsorship and contributions in kind from local businesses. The Wildbase hospital at the university was completed in February 2017 at a cost of $2M. The rest of the project will cost over $4M, and about $100,000 per annum will be needed for running costs.
Visitor numbers are expected to exceed 200,000 per annum, and entry is free.
This was an example of a very ambitious project, which Rotary made happen through leadership, networking, and management skills.

The NZ Transport Agency in collaboration with NZ Police, Kapiti Coast District and Porirua City Council are closing Paekākāriki Hill Road at Grays Road intersection and at the intersection with State Highway 1.
The extra traffic using Paekākāriki Hill Road at this time are at a higher risk of accidents, both on the steep, winding road and when merging with holiday traffic at Paekākāriki on State Highway 1.
There are also significant number of vehicles that use the hill road as a shortcut and exit onto State Highway 1 at Paekākāriki at the start of busy holiday periods, where they cause significant delays for southbound and northbound highway traffic.
Paekākāriki Hill Road residents and others working or visiting properties on the hill road will be able to enter from the State Highway 1 at Paekākāriki and Pauatahanui. However, if leaving a property on the hill road, they cannot exit onto State Highway 1 at Paekākāriki during the temporary closure and should use an alternate route such as Grays Road at Pauatahanui.
Hi Neighbours!
I am currently in between jobs and would like to keep myself useful in the meantime.
If you or anyone you know could do with a bit of a hand around the place, I can help with house cleaning and garden maintenance (weeding, mowing etc- just the basics).
Minimum booking of 1 hour.

I am currently in between jobs and would like to keep myself useful in the meantime.
If you or anyone you know could do with a bit of a hand around the place, I can help with house cleaning and garden maintenance (weeding, mowing etc- just the basics).
Minimum booking of 1 hour.
I am reliable, trustworthy, and I do not believe in doing a job unless you intend to do it properly.
I have 4 years previous experience as a house cleaner so I can certainly provide references from previous clients if they are needed-no problem at all 😊
My rate is $20phr plus $5 per visit towards travel and I will bring all of my own gear (though if vacuuming is required I will use your vacuum or you can pay another $5 for me to bring my own).
I am also available to clean ovens!
$50 flat rate for a standard oven and again I will bring my own gear.
If you are interested or if you have any questions please feel free to send me a message. I am available to visit, see what you need doing and give you a quote.
Whatever needs doing feel free to sound me out and I'll consider it.
I'll be available Monday - Friday from 9am starting next Monday 😊
Thanks heaps

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.
