Should we stop at the berm....
Wouldn't it be great if we got to know our neighbours well enough to support them like family? What do I mean by this?
If we all take care of those next door to us, we could grow a bond of strength in the Community that could: prevent crime; lessen loneliness; create safety for the children; increase morals by understanding of decency & thoughtfulness toward others; and grow understanding of personal welfare and cultural needs; just to name a few things.
When I was young, people would be like that...small towns/community groups would look out for one another. Houses could be left open and nothing would be stolen. All that's gone now and some would say could never return (a dreamers age gone by), but I still think we could improve our communities by helping one another more often. Giving of self for another often improves our own happiness and well being.
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Hospo owners give BNZ Theatre mixed reviews
After a busy opening week for BNZ Theatre, local restaurateurs have mixed feelings about its impact on diner numbers.
A first test for hospitality owners was over the weekend when Teeks and Sir Dave Dobbyn packed out the theatre. While some owners are feeling optimistic for the future, others believe the theatre has failed to deliver the promised crowds, albeit it is a quiet time of year.
