Hi neighbours,
Have you had a near miss with a jet ski? Surfers in the Far North have a simple message for jet ski drivers: 'No skis if people are paddling it'. Locals have said it's simply too dangerous.

We had a visit a short while ago from people claiming they were lost. Have been advised this is a method of getting onto properties to recce for items to steal.
If you get a visit from someone on your property who says they are lost or asking directions I suggest you take rego and report to police. Police have been very proactive but they need leads.

Kaikohe Sergeant Haydn Korach said Kerikeri, Kaikohe and Kawakawa stations would soon be manned by extra officers 24/7.
"It's going to provide us with the capabilities to respond to priority calls quicker and help us keep our communities safer by patrolling the streets in the early hours of the morning," Korach said.
"We know crimes like burglaries happen at those early hours and we can target that type of offending."

Check out Get Growing subscriber Clare Strange's genius hack for a gardening apron. It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says.

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

He’s attended many serious motorcycle crashes and learned first-hand the factors that cause and contribute to them.
Sadly, in the majority of cases, there were things the rider could have done to prevent the crash, “and that breaks my heart”, says Graeme. His solution? “Do some training”. It just might save your life.

Does it make sense to buy teenagers bigger beds so they have more room to grow? Or, like writer and mum Jayne D'Arcy, do you think a double could equal trouble later on?

After debate around whether Matariki should become a public holiday, ACT leader David Seymour said he was "open" to public holidays being scrapped in New Zealand - well, all but Anzac and Waitangi.

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.
We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?
