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: 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?

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).
