opportunities.
If you dont go to Mass often in the week, here are good reasons for a new habit :
St. Josephs School will be attending the 9am Mass on 5th February and there will be a Welcome Powhiri at the School at 9am on Friday 14th
February.
Sunday 16th February is a Parish/School Welcome Mass for Term 1.
On Sunday 9th February there will be a Tongan welcome at 9am for
Fr. Vince Onesi, our new Parish Priest for the Tararua Parishes. This is arranged by the local Tongan community.
This will be a great opportunity to engage with new people and reinforce a welcome to the Parish.

Urgently looking for a 4 bedroom (although 3 will do at a push) family home to rent in the Dannevirke area. Excellent references available, respectful and reliable tenants.

Excellent references available, respectful and reliable tenants. Must be warm and dry as we have a newborn prem baby. Must be fenced, and must allow pets. The place we were meant to be moving into has fallen through as the current tenants have withdrawn their notice to vacate, and my son is is moving back here starts his new job in about 3 weeks!
Even something temporary will suffice for now.

I am a member of the Whaitua Te Whanganui-a-Tara Committee tasked with making recommendations to Greater Wellington Regional Council on the future of our coastal and freshwater quality, and how our water is used. Our waterways and all the fish and species that live in them are precious taonga, so we have set out to understand how they are valued and what should be done to provide the future we want for our water.
We want to work with you to make our Whaitua more sustainable and healthy so that the future generations can continue to enjoy the many beautiful parks, rivers, streams and beaches of this catchment.
To leave behind a strong legacy, we need to protect the health and mauri of our waterways, which are under pressure due to population and land development. We need to fix our waste and stormwater infrastructure. These are big changes, and needs to reflect our communities’ views informed by good evidence and information.

My wife and I have been living at the edge of Belmont Park for over 30 years and I consider it my responsibility to pass on a sustainable healthy catchment to my grandchildren. We can’t do this alone and need your help in protecting the health and mauri of our water.
Increasing population and changing land use is putting pressure on our water, from our rivers and streams to the supply of drinking water, and management of storm and waste water. Fixing these problems is going to cost a lot, and we need to find solutions that are fair and equitable based on sound evidence and knowledge.
To do this we need to understand your views and to work with you and your community. Let’s shape the future of this place and our precious freshwater together.

The Karori Stream that flows through my backyard serves as a reminder to me every single day on the importance of making our waterways healthy. We need your help in protecting the health and mauri of our waterways, which are under pressure from increasing population. We need solutions that require real change in the way we interact with water if we want it to be safe for our kids. And we need to think long-term about how and who pays for these solutions.

Many of us grew up flocking to Glassons, Hallenstein's, Cotton On and Just Jeans for our hardy perennials - jeans, t-shirts, summer dresses - and some of us still do.

But we're increasingly becoming aware that buying a $20 t-shirt that won't last the distance isn't that great for the environment.
While some of us are pledging to only buy second hand or to invest in statement pieces - more expensive items that will last a long time- not all of us have that luxury.
We're wanting to speak to someone who isn't giving up their fast fashion any time soon, whether it's for economic or style reasons, personal choice or indifference to the environment. Maybe you're a student who likes the choice chain store fashion brings, or perhaps you're a parent whose children are growing too fast to risk splashing out on expensive clothing.
If this sounds like you, please email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz.
