BULLETIN 04th March 2022

TODAY in History   1855 

Shepherds searching for 1000 missing sheep in the upper reaches of the Waitaki Valley apprehended suspected rustler James Mackenzie, one of New Zealand’s first and most  enduring folk heroes.

Caught red-handed, Mackenzie denied the theft, claiming he had been hired to drive the sheep to Otago. After escaping from his captors, he walked 160 km to Lyttelton, where he was recaptured on 15 March. The Supreme Court found Mackenzie guilty, sentencing him to five years’ hard labour.

Mackenzie escaped from his road gang twice, remaining at large for a few days each time. In September 1855 a new magistrate reinvestigated his case and found flaws in the police inquiry and trial. Pardoned in January 1856, Mackenzie probably returned to Australia, but details of his later life are scarce.

Rosalie: 
Fresh Home Baking for Tauranga & Whakatane Hospital Staff:
With our team at Rise Up Tauranga, we are encouraging the BOP community to provide seven weeks of fresh home baking for Whakatane and Tauranga hospital staff from February 28 to April 13 while we go through Phase 3 of the Omicron outbreak and to help support our frontline health services as they come under further pressure with hundreds of people testing positive for Covid-19. It would be wonderful if Rotary club members could spread the word to other Rotary clubs in the Eastern and Western Bay of Plenty, as well as to their own business networks, and friends and family.
