EarthDiverse is pleased to announce its Puppetry Workshops for Kids! Join professional puppeteer and puppet-maker Ifat Vayner and open the doors to the world of puppetry.  Each of the two workshops will bring a different muppet to life, and in each session, participants will learn how to construct a muppet, how to give it a voice, personality and movement, and how to develop and perform short scenes.

Loco the Taco is designed with a younger age group in mind and Jacques the Chef is designed for a slightly older group, but the age brackets are very flexible. No previous art experience necessary, all materials provided, take your finished muppet home!

For ages 10-15 yrs: Jacques the Chef:  Mon, 11/7/22 10am -1pm

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.

While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
