Home intruder nabbed, the low down on local elections and more

The Editor from Te Kowhai Newsletter

Hi readers,

Lots happening in Te Kowhai - some good and some not so good stuff. But as you'll see from our page 3 story, at least the offender was caught.

In this issue:
- Interview with Faye Dunn
_ Te Kowhai Memories: a new section by local photographer and writer Shirley Warner.
- The low down on local elections including who's standing for what role.
- Awesome photos from the latest PTA Quiz Night.
- Changes to Te Kowhai Community Group's members and ways they work.
- More quiz action at the Airfield coming up!

Finally, apologies to our advertisers (those starting with M and onward). Human error at the printers meant that 4 pages of trades and services weren't included in the magazine. Including our lovely new supporters Narellan Pools and Waikato Petfoods. Trades and Services will be back in full next time.

Please support our local businesses, without their support this magazine wouldn't exist.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Do you think this farming-solar combo idea will be popular?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s farming, but not as we know it.

Sheep are grazing under solar panels in a Waikato first that could become more common as farmers look to diversify their incomes.

Do you think this farming-solar combo idea will be popular? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
