Free curtains, 2 pairs

Dianne from Hillcrest

We have two pairs of curtains to give away. They are old, brown with a design as shown in pic. Sun damaged, faded, have been washed and left with black marks on backing. They might be useful for someone who can repurpose the fabric, or use them for a caravan, bach, or flat. Or for someone in need of basic window coverings that will provide some dark and warmth. We are not claiming good condition at all, hence they are free :)

Please arrange pick up this week before we head to the dump.

Measurements approx:
- one pair was from a ranchslider door and window - 2300 track width.
- one shorter pair was from a rectangular window in bedroom - 2050 track width.
Curtain hooks included.

Txt 021496760 to arrange pick up.

Is there an algae issue where you are?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Once touted as an anglers paradise, and a top water-sport playground on the Waikato River, Mangakino is in danger of becoming a ghost town as toxic algal blooms slowly suck the life out of its main attraction - Lake Maraetai.

Locals say cyanobacterial algal blooms in the river’s hydro lakes have become more frequent over the past five years, and when they arrive no-one can swim or fish in them.

Is there an algae issue where you are? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Tamahere home in dentist case was once centre of accountant’s fraud

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.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
