Hi neighbours,
Have you had a near miss with a jet ski? Surfers in the Far North have a simple message for jet ski drivers: 'No skis if people are paddling it'. Locals have said it's simply too dangerous.

There has been a spate of tyre slashing over the weekend. This type of senseless, thoughtless behaviour needs to be stamped out before it takes hold.
I would really like to hear from some one who had their tyre/s slashed so I can get a story up. It about awareness and letting people know how inconvenient, and costly this is to the victim. Image a young mum trying to get her kids to sport or an elderly person trying to get their shopping. Not everyone can change a tyre or afford a replacement and with the weather as changeable as it is who want to try doing in the rain?
Give me a call on 09 470 4054.

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

He’s attended many serious motorcycle crashes and learned first-hand the factors that cause and contribute to them.
Sadly, in the majority of cases, there were things the rider could have done to prevent the crash, “and that breaks my heart”, says Graeme. His solution? “Do some training”. It just might save your life.
