Nominated by Eric Rooke from Waikanae: "This man got out of Vietnam by himself when he was 13, sailed on a boat and spent time in camps before coming to NZ. He could not speak English. He purchased a local dairy and over the years has totally transformed and enlarged it providing employment to a number of locals. He is the ultimate friendly shopkeeper."
Coronavirus: Kiwis need to keep their pets in lockdown bubble too

Pets need to be kept in the family bubble during New Zealand's lockdown, too, an infectious disease expert says.
"Whatever your bubble is for the month, this is the bubble you must maintain,"
Professor David Hayman, an infectious disease ecology expert at Massey University's veterinary science school, said pets had to follow this too – and he urged people to treat their pets "as if it's someone you do care for and love".
"If I cough on my hands, stroke a dog's head, and then a kid comes along, strokes the dog's head, and then touches their face ... that's a way of transferring infection."
The lockdown was not a reason for people to stop walking their dogs or riding their horses, he said, but contact with others should be limited.
Hayman encouraged people with cats to keep them inside, as they tend to roam.
People should be conscious of contact with their own pet too, he said. Hands are fine if washed, but faces should be kept apart because the virus can enter through the nose and mouth.
Dr Helen Beattie, chief veterinary officer for the New Zealand Veterinary Association (NZVA), agreed pets had to be kept in the family bubble.
It's a good practice at this point to consider your household is your life and your world."
She encouraged people to use pets as "a source of comfort".
"I've heard a lot of stories about a lot of animals are very happy to have a whole bunch of people at home in their life rather than heading off to work everyday".
Beattie said for people who had recently returned from overseas or had been in close contact with a confirmed coronavirus case, it would "make some sense" to reduce contact with pets.
Anybody seen any ducks around? I haven't seen any outside in the last 2 days and they were always there.
As a community activity while we are confined - If you have some chalk, maybe you could write a lovely uplifting message on the footpath outside your house/unit. Will be fun to read for those out walking.
Feel free to share other ideas that are safe and fun.

We must now all stay home. Because that’s how we’ll stop the virus.
Level 4 measures will likely be in place for a number of weeks.
Don’t worry. During that time you will still be able to access all the essentials you need, including medicine, food, and other home supplies.
ALL THE TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS
It’s incredibly important that we all follow the Level 4 plan, all the time. No exceptions. Because doing so will save lives.
A CHALLENGE FOR EVERYONE
We realise these are big changes. But these are challenging times.
If we don't all stay home, the whole country will need Level 4 restrictions for longer.
SUPPORT OUR EMERGENCY SERVICE PEOPLE
We owe it to the essential services. Our nurses, doctors and everyone else on the frontline. They’re working tirelessly to save lives. We should all do everything in our power to help them do this.
Thank you to each and every person, for doing their bit.
While you’re staying at home:
STAY CONNECTED
• Don’t let physical distance stop you staying connected. Keep in touch with people using video calls, phone calls, chat and texting.
• If you know people who are living alone, vulnerable, or separated from their loved ones, regularly check-in with them.
STAY WELL
• Continue to practice good hygiene – wash your hands with soap. Then dry.
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Regularly clean surfaces in your home with disinfectant.
• Keep up regular physical exercise, and get some fresh air when possible. It’s good so long as this is solitary, or only with those you live with.
REACH OUT
If you need advice, support or help, try reaching out to friends, family, whānau or workmates.
