$100,000 playground fundraiser for kids with special needs

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

There will be a $100,000 target for stock cars taking to the track on Saturday - not for the drivers, but to help kids with disabilities.
Hamilton's Conductive Education centre wants to replace its 11-year-old playground.
Kids at the centre have a physical disability, such as cerebral palsy, and often "learning, communication or sensory needs", centre manager Sharon Harris said.
On Saturday, the Conductive Education Superstock Challenge at the Kihikihi track will try to raise $100,000 for the playground.
Ingham Hyundai, Wade Racing and Splice Construction are hosting the challenge.
Read more about the fundraiser - and one of the conductive education kids - here.

Poll: What do you think about the new rules for nangs?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Retailers selling “laughing gas” for recreational purposes can now be prosecuted but the message isn’t getting through to some Hamilton retailers.

A Waikato Times reporter was able to buy a pack of 10 silver bullets at two, out of six stores they enquired at, in Hamilton.

What do you think about the new rules for nangs? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
