🥇 FIRST PLACE 🥇
A big Congratulations to Mike from our local West harbour fire brigade!
Last weekend Mike Took part in the Fire Fighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge and got 1st place in the Masters/Donned category (40-49 yrs)
Finishing with a 1 min and 26 second lead!!
Mikes favourite quote- "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
Which means if you want success and growth in the future, the best time to act is now!
Well done Mike 👏
🚨AND REMEMBER- With winter creeping up now is a good time to clean the chimneys, dust off the heaters and use caution when using heating appliances🚨

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
