The weather is going to be fine for voting tomorrow - and don't forget to put your clocks forward this weekend ...

Teresa Ramsey Reporter from Hauraki Herald

It's going to be fine weather tomorrow, so don't forget to head to the voting stations.
And whether or not there is a new government, change is on the way. Daylight saving will arrive at 2am on Sunday - when clocks go forward an hour - while the spring equinox would fall on Saturday.

Hello Everyone,
With a view to celebrating my maternal grandfather's paternal grandparents' arrival in Auckland from Ireland via Liverpool on 23rd December 1859, I'm trying to trace descendents of some of the other passengers (my ancestors were Dromgools - misspelt Drongool on the passenger list). I'm hoping to put together a series of memoirs (not complete family trees) to publish a non-fiction work in December 2019 (160 years). If any of you are descended from Shalimar passengers on that date and are interested in contributing or have any hints, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Carolyn

First impressions.

Shayle from Thames

I find it hard to find someone in TCDC who is concerned at the shocking condition of the roading in the vicinity of the Thames wharf, and will take the initutive to do something about it. What about a member of the Thames Community Board, isn't it a community concern.

I find it hard to find someone in TCDC who is concerned at the shocking condition of the roading in the vicinity of the Thames wharf, and will take the initutive to do something about it. What about a member of the Thames Community Board, isn't it a community concern.
The Hauraki Cycle Trail crosses this area, which is an utter disgrace, and has been for many years, I invite those responsible to visit the area so that they may be aware of what I am referring to. A good tidy up is required as it was in the days that the Thames wharf was used by a fleet of fishing boats and the twice weekly visit by a barge from Auckland which transported goods to Thames. I seek support on this issue from those who also care.

Service scheduled to commence on 30th October
At last some real progress with the Thames bus trial. The Waikato Regional Council have asked for tenders from bus operators. Tenders will close on 15 October and the service is scheduled to start on 30 October subject to a final go-ahead from the successful bus operator.
The service will begin as a trial for six months, and if successful will be extended for a further 39 months subject to confirmation of funding being made available beyond the 6-month trial period and ongoing performance evaluation.

Poll: What are thoughts on buying a meth-house?

Julie Kaio Reporter from Hauraki Herald

New Zealand has gone into a frenzy over the P problem, when in reality many supposedly meth-contaminated houses pose no risk to human health if you simply scrub down the walls with a decent detergent.

New Zealand has gone into a frenzy over the P problem, when in reality many supposedly meth-contaminated houses pose no risk to human health if you simply scrub down the walls with a decent detergent.

That's the view - some would say surprisingly - of the New Zealand Drug Foundation, and Massey University environmental chemistry expert Nick Kim.
With most Kiwi home buyers now getting properties meth tested and walking away from the deal if the result comes up positive, it begs the question whether it's possible to pick up a bargain if you're prepared to don rubber gloves and invest some elbow grease.
