Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?
We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.… View moreHey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?
We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.
Do your power bills come in way higher than your friends and family? Do you know why, or does the amount always take you by surprise? Maybe, like the family who created an effective solar panel heater out of drink cans, or the blogger who enjoys free power generated by a converted washing machine, you've found a creative way to minimise your bills. If so, how do you do it?
Whether your bills are high and you're looking for ways to reduce them, or you have some secrets to low power bills that you're willing to share, we'd love to hear from you. Leave a message in the comments, or email homed@stuff.co.nz.

I applaud the effort to explore this topic but feel the research question was too narrow to provide a useful answer. Which schools - all, primary, intermediate, or secondary? Will each level have a set curriculum? Will 'standards' be set? And - most importantly - who is going to teach it… View moreI applaud the effort to explore this topic but feel the research question was too narrow to provide a useful answer.

I am in favour of making te reo compulsory in primary schools, with a designated basic curriculum, as long as each class has a teacher confident enough with the language to use it in the classroom on a daily basis. In this way, students can become as familiar with and comfortable using and learning te reo as they do developing their English language skills.
Children learn a language much faster when they are young and, with encouragement, they will continue using the language on a daily basis both in and out of school without the fear of making an error - which is a factor that prevents many adults giving it a go. More advanced te reo could build on this base at intermediate and secondary schools - as an option alongside other languages - if qualified teachers are available.
Making te reo a normal, integrated part of their daily lives will result in many of the fears and concerns of our adult population diminishing over time. Then maybe NZ can be as cosmopolitan as most other countries in the world. There are very few where only one language is spoken.

We have a cat turned up on our property, Mostly black with white bib and paws. Middle Road, Rukuhia. Has anyone lost one ?
Kia ora, neighbours. This is a sadly timely story put out by the Waikato Times, on the same day that the Cambridge Edition published a story about the threat of dogs to kiwi in the wild. It's a cold reminder to make sure our dogs are kept on a leash, particularly around conservation areas.
