Hi neighbours,
Auckland's new trains have started arriving from Spain - and they need to be unwrapped.
Harry Calder, 9, is at the train depot in Onehunga to pull the plastic off for a sneak peak of the trains before they hit the tracks, in this KEA Kids News video bulletin.

Hi Guys,
We have seen this rabbit roaming in our garden. I am sure it has got lost. Whom so ever it belongs please come and collect it.
Cheers

Hi Neighbours, The V8 supercars race costs Auckland ratepayers $1.2m and is the city's most-publicly-sponsored major event. So how did it suddenly end up shifting from its Pukekohe home to Waikato's Hampton Downs? Read the story below:

You may be thinking oh wow the neighbours have got a new truck and trailer and well ok those are some seriously fat looking tires. Not so normal right. That's because it's for a bmx track to compress and smooth out the bmx track. Contact the police without delay and send me a message and if you lead us to the recovery of the truck and trailer we will arrange a reward for your efforts. Let's get them back! Thankyou all for your time. Take care.
Heads up, masks and gloves do a better job of spreading bugs than stopping them.

I found this article far more informative and rational than any other article about 'self care' during this over the top scaremongering about coronavirus.
I totally understand why people are panicking and in so many cases, going completely overboard, but it's like all forms of rational thinking has gone out the door.
The excellent Q & A within this article with David Powell, a physician and medical adviser to the International Air Transport Association is not only rational but reassuring and accurate.
The question where he is asked, " Does wearing masks and gloves help prevent infections?" makes perfect sense and is exactly what I have been trying to tell a few people.
Basic biology classes will tell you just this.
Just be sensible, keep excellent hand hygiene and if you cough or sneeze in public, it's important to cover your face with a sleeve. Better yet, a tissue to be disposed of carefully, and then sanitising the hands afterward.

Titirangi Primary School has this week been testing its new PA system and, judging by feedback from its neighbours, it's got some tweaking to do. The new PA system includes the option to ditch the traditional school bell in favour of playing a song instead. The school has been marking the beginning and end of classes with Patea Maori Club's classic "Poi E", played loudly over the new speakers. Some residents are not amused. "So sad, I used to love the song "Poi E" . Not anymore," one person posted in the local Facebook group. "What's wrong with using a regular old bell?" another local Titirangi resident commented. Titirangi Primary School Principal Julie Lynch told the Herald the school is currently testing the new PA system and aware of the issues residents have raised. "We had a really old system in the school. Over the summer we put in a new telephone system and came into the 21st century with Voice over IP. Whilst we were doing that we thought we'd update our PA system," Lynch explained. "We're on a multi-level site and there are areas where children couldn't hear announcements. For health and safety reasons, we needed a more up-to-date system," she added. The school has received feedback from numerous people in the community and will work with a technician to reposition the speakers so the sound doesn't travel quite as far outside the school grounds. "What we will need to do is review where our speakers are positioned," Lynch said. "Have had some feedback that is quite loud." As for why the school decided to ditch the traditional bell, it is all part of the offering with the new system. "It's different but a nice celebration of Māori culture, especially with Waitangi Day this week," she said. "It's a brand new system so we can do all sorts of different things. "After this week, I might have to have a look at different options."
The song chorus currently plays about six times a day, between 9am and 3pm, to make the start and end of classes, morning tea and lunch. "It's a health and safety issue, we need the children to hear it all across the school. "We apologise to the Titirangi community for yesterday, Waitangi Day, as it was going off. We're still working it all out," Lynch added.
