Te Kowhai News - May issue

The Editor from Te Kowhai Newsletter

Hi neighbours!

This issue features your food photos of which there are a few. As well as an interview with the sweet-talking fast-moving Edwina Prendergast. The nearly 92 year old fabulous local who's not afraid of a bit of hard graft. Quite possibly the most incredible person I've ever interviewed.

Graham McBride our local historian has supplied another local history story to continue the 'roads of Te Kowhai' series.

Remember, his stories are all available in his Tales of Te Kowhai book. You can order one direct from Graham by giving him a bell on 07 829 7726.

Te Kowhai Cafe is open for business. They do a mean pie, a fast coffee and a wicked egg and bean bagel stack for breakfast.

Anyway, enough from me.

Te Kowhai News is delivered free to all homes and businesses in RD8. Or check out your digital copy here.

Inquiries to Amanda at tekowhainews@gmail.com

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.

At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.

Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
