Te Kowhai News July issue!

The Editor from Te Kowhai Newsletter

Please excuse the groan of your letterbox as Te Kowhai News July issue lands locally, weighing in at a hefty 28 pages, this is by far the biggest issue we've ever created.

Which is GREAT news!

When I took Te Kowhai News on in 2014 I was struggling to eek information out of the community. What a modest bunch we were! Now it seems the value of open and transparent communications is something valued and welcomed.

I love the fact that so many people are not contributing regularly to Te Kowhai News, giving up a little bit of their month to write a few words about their topic of choice, whether its their business, lifestyle, hobby or passion.

Please find in this post, Te Kowhai News July, featuring:
- Hearts to you Genevieve from Whatawhata Village Cafe! You're a local and national 'good sort'.
- Dame Malvina Major and the Old Girls and Boys luncheon.
_ Summerglow Apiaries opens its doors for fill-yer-boots-Fridays! Bring your own container and fill up with local yummy honey!
- Your water images
- The real story behind that weird power outage last month.
- Local dance classes for kids.
- And loads more!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s been a feature in a recent Hamilton District Court trial , but a Tamahere mansion already has an complicated history.

The property in Woodcock Rd - notable for having a hydroslide in the back yard - the scene of now-disproved alleged sexual offending by Hamilton dentist Rahul Gautam - made headlines more than 15 years ago, when it was a focus in the case of accountant Gary Soffe.
