Te Kowhai News - May issue
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.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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?

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
