Jutting footpath claims kneecap
Hi everyone,
Dawn King, 81, was walking her son's black labrador, Max, around the block in Rototuna when she tripped and fell over a lip of concrete on Cate Rd.
She broke her kneecap and is now stranded for four weeks.
After contacting Hamilton City Council about the incident, staff visited the site and it's due to be fixed within a week.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
