Te Kowhai News November issue
This is the last issue for 2018 (seriously…. Has this year gone fast or what?)
In this issue you’ll find:
* An interview with Renae Smart from Civtec. Civtec is a local company and just last week, Renae won the 2018 Emerging Leader award at the Westpac Business Awards.
* Lots of great wheel photos. Credit to the weathered wheel shown in this post goes to Suzy McPhail.
* Stocking filler ideas for little girls.
* Summer salad recipe from Louise Hopkins.
* Dog training support from Heather Westerby-Jones
* Christmas services at St Stephen’s Church (see ad on P7)
* Heritage stories by Graham McBride.
* Politics, Council and Community Group news from local contributors.
In January I’ll be collecting up holiday snaps from the community so I’d love it if you could send something in for page 2. Send me a snap from your phone of you or those around you taking a break from school or work: tekowhainews@gmail.com
I hope you enjoy reading this latest issue.
Kind regards
Amanda
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
