The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

The homes would be near the Ruakura Superhub, if they can get the go-ahead.

Lest we forget...

The Team from NZ Compare

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Tractor sales have shot up for a second-hand farm machinery dealer.

It's good news for Morrinsville's Steve Elgar but he says farmers look for second-hand gear when times get tougher. However, not all businesses were noticing sales were worse.
