The kowhai competition is held annually and has been running for many years now. It’s organised by the local Community Group and is intended to draw people’s attention to the tree from which our village gets its name.
The community group selected the finalists for each of the four categories and winners were voted for by the public over one week in early November.
A prize of $50 is awarded for the winner of each category. But obviously it’s not about the money it’s about being world famous in Te Kowhai and being able to boast having the BEST photograph for the year.
The winners are:
1. Age 12 and under: TJ Ellis
2. Age 13 to 17 years: Sheree Williamson
3. Age 18 years and above: Steven Hood
4. People’s Choice: TJ Ellis
Congratulations to all the winners and many thanks to those who entered. A record number of entries this year and some excellent submissions which we hope to be able to show off in the newsletter over the coming months.
Hi everyone,
Here's the Novemer issue of the Te Kowhai District Newsletter. A massive issue this time so plenty of great stuff to read over the next few weeks and of course more new local trades and services!
Happy reading!

We're backing schools to set up walking buses and other solutions, with parents and volunteers helping local kids get to class safely.
We wrote to the nation's mayors pleading with them to lower speed limits outside schools, and many have come back to us with expressions of support. We talked to well-known New Zealanders with school-aged kids, and they united behind the campaign.
You can get involved too. We know people are busy, so the Sunday Star-Times and Neighbourly are encouraging families to choose one day a week when they and their kids walk, scoot, cycle - even ride a horse if that's what works for you!
I've chosen Mondays as the days I'll cycle to school with my 6-year-old son. And Neighbourly has set up a special pledge page, where you can choose a day when you will try to Foot It with your kids, talk with others doing the same - and go into the draw to win one of 50 Micro scooters. www.neighbourly.co.nz...

7 months living in Glen Massey and we think it's time to get some natural lawn movers on our property.
We'd like to put it out there to see if anyone firstly has any sheep or goats they'd like to get rid of - we'll happily come take them off your hands. Alternatively we'd like to purchase some.
We're looking for either two sheep/lambs, or two goats/kids.
We're not sure if it's best to start out with babies or get more grown ones - any advice would be great. They're mainly for the top back hill area on our 1300 sq.m property.
We're double checking to make sure the perimeter is. Ice and secure too.
We also have a chicken coup that needs some chickens, but first things first.
Regards,
Ryan and Kathy

We might have noticed we've had a bit of rain this week!!
Well due to the high volumes of water in the Waikato River catchment a number of low-lying Hamilton parks and reserves have now been closed.
These are Matakanohi Reserve, Grantham St car park, Pine Beach and Fairfield Esplanade.
The council says path users should not enter these parks, particularly if the gates are closed.

I have to say this is the first real earthquake that I've felt in Hamilton in 45 years other than the sudden jolt or rumble of tea cups. I feel quite unequipped to deal with an earthquake in terms of where to go (Civil Defence) how to help and what to take with me. So I'm going to make it my business to find out and become more equipped for a disaster. Starting with my Community centre.
Price: $110 Per Round Bale +gst
Per Bale: 1 Round Bale (= 10 Conventional Bales)
Location: Hamilton (NW)

Enjoy your day :-)
Hi, I'm looking for old wool carpet to use as weed control. It will be covered with mulch after being laid so condition doesn't matter. Needs to cover an area of 7 x 7 metres or more. Could be a number of pieces also.
