Te Kowhai News September issue!

The Editor from Te Kowhai Newsletter

Woah where is the year going?

At a cafe last week the kids were commenting on the amount of Christmas decorations up on the walls. Not sure if they were recent additions or left over from previous years we asked the server who enthusiastically exclaimed "only 15 Sundays until Christmas!"

Eeek! I feel like I've barely recovered from the last one.

So, here's the penultimate Te Kowhai News issue before the magic of Christmas is upon us:

* Interview with the body beautiful baby mamma Jo Williams.

* School PTA Quiz Night photos: the brains, the brides, the burglars.

* Local parent Judy Gallagher gets her teeth into the disappearance of our kids' dental service.

* Local Louise Hopkins with a crowd-pleasing recipe from her family to yours.

* Local dog whisperer Heather Westerby-Jones with a new dog column.

* Loads of discussion opportunities with Council and Parliament.

* And local Graham McBride with another evocative trip to the history of our area.

For a small community there certainly is a heck of a lot going on!

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
