NZ: Share a favourite female historical figure...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We're all mostly familiar with Kate Sheppard's role in the women's suffrage movement (and her face on the $10 note) and you've likely heard of the bold, Jean Batten. But who else should not be forgotten? Tell us why!

We're all mostly familiar with Kate Sheppard's role in the women's suffrage movement (and her face on the $10 note) and you've likely heard of the bold, Jean Batten. But who else should not be forgotten? Tell us why!

Let's celebrate Women's History month as well as International Women's Day (this Wednesday) by sharing some of the lesser-known, inspiring women who've played a part in New Zealand's history.

A Raw Deal

Michael from Trentham

A NZ company that provides school pupils lunches is dishing out uncooked chicken and other meat such as second or third rate beef and apparently most of its meals are unappealing.

A NZ company that provides school pupils lunches is dishing out uncooked chicken and other meat such as second or third rate beef and apparently most of its meals are unappealing.

Well, write them off the supply list but no doubt personnel associated with the firm will reappear in some other form.

Uncooked or undercooked chicken, venison and pork are a no no and if the other kinds of meat such as beef and lamb are not first grade and produced in a country such as NZ, they too become dicey to ones health if undercooked. Let's face it, most people in NZ prefer quality steaks medium cooked which means pink in the centre.

Dogs should not be given raw meat (or raw eggs) either. It seems few people realise this. Dogs ceased being a natural animal hundreds of years ago and thousands of years ago in many cases and so they too are subjected to the chance of becoming sick from uncooked meat of any type.

Grant's Bush Reserve in Trentham is taking on a new look.
The mostly poorly trimmed grass and weeds are still there but up has sprung a basketball half court and a children's playground.

The plaground is small but surprising for its extra "equipment". And there are swings suitable for big people.

According to a playground contractor, the UHCC were forced into providing these amentities by the Wallaceville Estate developers who had included them in their promotion of the estate.

The Council will also provide at least one litter dispenser and litter bin.

In another development, Blue Mountains Campus developer is fencing off all of its property which includes a large tract of grass and many trees. This means people will not be able to short cut to school or the rail station thru part or all of the campus unless they can climb fences.
