True Tales of Glenbervie

Barbara from Glenbervie

Have you ever lived in the Glenbervie area (including Whareora, Kiripaka, West Ngunguru)?
If so, you undoubtedly have some favourite – or not-so-favourite – memories of your time spent here.
We need these stories, to be included in a ‘True Tales of Glenbervie’ book being compiled to preserve memories of our way of life, both present and past, for future generations to enjoy and wonder at.
Hikurangi, Kamo, Onerahi, Whangarei Heads and Great Barrier Island are just some of the areas which have already published ‘True Tales’ books. (These can be seen/purchased locally or at Paper Plus stores and the concept can be researched at www.truetales.co.nz...).
Each story is no longer than 1500 words, with several photos where possible.
Please contact Barbara Herman, barb@venture-gear.com or phone 4375347 if you think you have a story to share. We can help you write it if you feel you need help.
Any proceeds from the book will be used to preserve the physical history of the area.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

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?
