Te Kowhai News September issue!
Woah where is the year going?
At a cafe last week the kids were commenting on the amount of Christmas decorations up on the walls. Not sure if they were recent additions or left over from previous years we asked the server who enthusiastically exclaimed "only 15 Sundays until Christmas!"
Eeek! I feel like I've barely recovered from the last one.
So, here's the penultimate Te Kowhai News issue before the magic of Christmas is upon us:
* Interview with the body beautiful baby mamma Jo Williams.
* School PTA Quiz Night photos: the brains, the brides, the burglars.
* Local parent Judy Gallagher gets her teeth into the disappearance of our kids' dental service.
* Local Louise Hopkins with a crowd-pleasing recipe from her family to yours.
* Local dog whisperer Heather Westerby-Jones with a new dog column.
* Loads of discussion opportunities with Council and Parliament.
* And local Graham McBride with another evocative trip to the history of our area.
For a small community there certainly is a heck of a lot going on!

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
