First up - The amazing Dee Paranihi!
As a loved employee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation, Dee couldn’t pass up the amazing opportunity to explore Vietnam and help kids across Aotearoa at the same time. "We can all learn to believe what we have inside is greater than the things that stand in front of us, but we need to teach our kids this, we are not necessarily born thinking that way."

Motorists driving in the Hamilton East-Hillcrest area this weekend are urged to plan ahead and prepare for major delays due to tree removal work happening in the area.
The removal of the trees is to allow for the on- and off-ramps for the Ring Road-Wairere Drive extension to be built. Read more
This isn't a Hamilton story, but it's a tale of love between a man and his dog. Waikato man Derrick Marshall took his Boxer dog, Honey, on a road trip to the top of the North Island in January.

Honey had received a terminal cancer diagnosis, and Marshall wanted to do everything he could for her in the time she had left. Less than two months later, Honey had to be put down.
"Every day I think, did I do enough?" Marshall said. "But I did give her a good life. I took her everywhere and gave her everything."
Read more about the pair here. There's also an earlier story - about their South Island road trip - here.

Here's a few points about trains --
-- Train Drivers have been told by KiwiRail to slow , as the tracks have buckled in the current heat .
-- Auckland Train Drivers have had several strikes lately , throwing passengers in 'chaos' -- buses have been called in to get people to work … View moreHere's a few points about trains --
-- Train Drivers have been told by KiwiRail to slow , as the tracks have buckled in the current heat .
-- Auckland Train Drivers have had several strikes lately , throwing passengers in 'chaos' -- buses have been called in to get people to work and home .
-- Hamilton and Waikato Council , and the Labour led coalition , are proposing a commuter train to Papakura . This will cost at least $78 million , and at least $1 million a year in subsidies . It can carry up to 150 people , but appears likely to take 30-40 daily .
-- That is $2 million per person in 'capital' costs . A new Nissan Leaf electric car is $62,500 , a new hybrid is $37,500 , a new Tesla is around $120,000 . You could literally GIVE each commuter one of these vehicles , and be 18 to 50 times better off !
-- The $1 million a year subsidy works out at $500 per person per week subsidy . On top of the $30 trip charge ( they pay $300 a week , taxpayers and ratepayers pay another $500 a week , on top of the $78 million setting this up !
-- A new 45-50 seat bus is $400,000 to $650,000 , depending on level of luxury .
-- BusIt runs a daily bus service to Pukekohe ( it appears with no sudsidy ? ) and charges $10 each way -- less for pensioners etc . This is not suitable for commuters , but shows what can be done .
-- Air New Zealand is offering $39 fares Tauranga to Auckland , again it appears they receive no Govt subsidy , they buy mult-million dollar planes and have to make money .
-- It appears LTNZ will reduce or cancel any funding for the Hamilton to Papakura commuter train .
-- BusIt can run a daily bus service a similar distance for just over $10 .
-- Air NZ can run planes Tauranga to Auckland $39 .
-- Hamilton Council can run a daily train to Papakura , but need to spend $78 million , plus top it up by another $1 million , for 30-40 people a day ?
Will this loco loco still proceed if no-one votes for the the current Mayor ? Lets hope it is canned -- it is absolute financial stupidity IMO .

I am after something around 32.5cm by 48.5cm, anything near that would be great.
I would like it in excellent condition as it will be part of a present for a loved one close to me that I have been prepping other things to go with it for them. Let me know the price and let me know the cost for track and trace. If you live in it near Hamilton let me know if I can pick it up.
Any recommendations to framing places or shops like perhaps Salvation Army branches you know of that fits the above description would be greatly appreciated too. I've also attached how many inches a couple measures are, one is a bit off from what I mentioned earlier but it gives an idea.
Hi, Once again I have large white bags of dry split gum for sale. 3 bags at this stage but more will be coming. $120 a bag. You will need a trailer or ute to pick it up. Sorry no deliveries.
