Cameron from Trentham

First question, do we still use the ripple system in NZ with our hot water cylinders?

Second question, if it is still active, is there any way to stop it, by either ringing power company or other methods would be … View more
Sorry i'm not sure about this but would like some info if someone could help?

First question, do we still use the ripple system in NZ with our hot water cylinders?

Second question, if it is still active, is there any way to stop it, by either ringing power company or other methods would be welcome?

Having a toddler means we need hot water more than we used too but it's always barely warm even first thing in the morning and with little to no usage at all i'm confused why we have no hot water. No long showers either. Never have an issue in summer...when we use less hot water.

Unwanted junk mail

David from Silverstream

Although I have a clear sign on my mailbox stating I do not want to receive junk mail, I keep getting circulars put in my mailbox. Does anyone know who distributes the circulars in Trentham so I can contact them?

Poll: Should learning about climate change be part of the school curriculum?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Some experts say that has to change. It is such an existential threat that not to make it a requirement to teach children about climate change is doing them a great disservice, they say.

Even a little can help a lot!

Frances from Silverstream

Every year we expect our workload to ease up in winter, but it never does. This year seems busier than ever.

We have quite a number of high needs cats and kittens in care at the moment and also have a number of colonies on our radar that desperately need TNR. The problem is we just don't have the funds to push on.
We have reached the end of June and are facing nearly $4000 in food, vet and operating costs that need to be paid over the next three weeks. Our fundraising team is working overtime to help pull us through, but we desperately need a helping hand.
We really need assistance in the way of financial support, but would also appreciate any help with supplies such as cat food and litter. Please let us know if you would be interested in sponsoring a spey or a neuter for a colony cat or if you think there's anything else you might like to help with.
