Hi People,
Just read in the paper about the Guy Fawkes Poll. What a load of RUBBISH ! ! ! Are you only polling like minded people? Is it age or colour descrimination?
I'm sure if I did my own poll I could come up with the opposite conclusion. GET REAL!
So disappointed with neighbourly/Stuff!

Dogs lolling beneath cafe tables while their owners sip lattes or glasses of pinot would have been unthinkable 30 years ago.
Now it is just the way Kiwis roll, with a raft of dog-friendly dining options available throughout the country. What do you think? Should dogs be allowed in cafes?

With a friendship spanning over 30 years, Tish and Cherie will share their exploration of the complex beauty of connection in nature through the mediums of sculpture, paint and design.
“Cherie is influenced by nature - her designs flow soulfully around her circles of life. She uses her connection to nature and the relationship with self and expression throughout this exhibition,” explained Tish.
“For me, I’ve taken inspiration from the five years I’ve spent in the Rissington Hills area which allowed me to ponder the question - what are we? This has driven the creation of some other worldly creatures and landscapes,” she said.
“We encourage everyone to come along to the exhibition and immerse themselves in this holistic way of thinking – come and ask some big questions about who we are and where we’re from and what we’re connected to,” Tish said.
The exhibition will be in the Niven Room at Taupō Museum from November 2 to December 9.

The event on Saturday, December 7 is a qualifying event for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships to be hosted in the Taupō District in November 2020 and will see more than 1800 athletes competing for 127 slots to compete on the world stage – the highest in any of the 104 qualifying races.
Mayor David Trewavas said the trial course a new course would start from the Taupō Yacht Club for the swim leg of the race. The bike course would head through Taupō along Rifle Range Road, Taharepa Road, Vaile Road, Halcrow Road and Homestead Road. The run course would be along the lakefront, finishing at Tongariro Domain.
“The December and March events are allowing us to trial a few new opportunities in the lead up to the world’s and better ensure athlete safety,” he said. “Moving the bike leg off Spa Road will also allow us to ensure three entrance ways into town via Wairakei Drive, Centennial Drive and Napier-Taupō Road,” he said.
“I understand that this change will cause some inconvenience, however, I am sure that in true Taupō spirit we will further cement our reputation as the events capital through the co-operation of our residents and volunteers.”
Residents and businesses on the affected route have been informed.

They want a sale and have instructed us to present all offers.
Beginning life as a renowned restaurant and currently operating very successfully as boutique accommodation, The Peppertree works very well as a function centre and would also make a superb cellar door. Located with State Highway frontage close to Blenheim and situated on the soon to open Picton to Kaikoura cycleway, it is ideally positioned to cash in on Marlborough’s growing tourism industry.
Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. The heart of the home is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large wood burner with wetback and solar heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring warmth year-round.
Encompassing four hectares and featuring organically managed vineyard and gardens, fruit trees, berry patches, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle, and horses, The Peppertree is close to being self-sufficient. The extra land also offers an opportunity for future expansion and development.
The rateable value for land and improvements is $1,520,000.
All offers requested to be received by 4 pm Wednesday 27 November 2019.

Halloween is fast approaching. Some Kiwis think it's great fun and go all out with decorations and lollies. Others just want to shut their doors and be left alone, leave it to the Americans.
Do you celebrate Halloween at your house? Why or why not?
And If you don't like trick or treating, how do you make it clear your house is a no-go zone?
We're keen to talk to some people who feel strongly about Halloween one way or the other. If you have thoughts to share, please email homed@stuff.co.nz and we'll be in touch.
