"There's so much food and stuff gone, but we're alive - that's the main thing," says Kaikoura resident Diane Edkins (pictured) who finds out whether her house is given the all-clear while a Red Cross volunteer is with her: www.redcross.org.nz...

Breed: Sharpei x
Age: 4 years
Mini was a DC girl almost 4 years ago, she had been purchased with a stolen cheque, driven half way across the country with another dog in a stolen car, then ended up in the pound at only 4-5 weeks old. We couldn't leave her there the day we seen her so home she came.
She has been living in an awesome family home, been to puppy school, and due to a change in circumstances she now needs to be rehomed.
Mini can be wary of strange men but warms up to them very quickly. Medium build, approx 21 kgs. She enjoys a good walk, is playful and loves company. She would suit a home with an experienced older or retired couple wanting a dog to take out and about. She's a very sweet natured dog and submissive with people. She is low-medium energy level. Vaccines are up to date. An adoption fee of $180 is asked to help cover costs while in our care.

The kowhai competition is held annually and has been running for many years now. It’s organised by the local Community Group and is intended to draw people’s attention to the tree from which our village gets its name.
The community group selected the finalists for each of the four categories and winners were voted for by the public over one week in early November.
A prize of $50 is awarded for the winner of each category. But obviously it’s not about the money it’s about being world famous in Te Kowhai and being able to boast having the BEST photograph for the year.
The winners are:
1. Age 12 and under: TJ Ellis
2. Age 13 to 17 years: Sheree Williamson
3. Age 18 years and above: Steven Hood
4. People’s Choice: TJ Ellis
Congratulations to all the winners and many thanks to those who entered. A record number of entries this year and some excellent submissions which we hope to be able to show off in the newsletter over the coming months.
Hi everyone,
Here's the Novemer issue of the Te Kowhai District Newsletter. A massive issue this time so plenty of great stuff to read over the next few weeks and of course more new local trades and services!
Happy reading!

I bought these a while ago to replace all the single access plugs in our house - but my wife doesn't like the colour because it doesn't go with her shoes or something. I had an electrician come in recently and change them all with white plugs so no longer need these. Make an offer - I paid $130 for them.

We're backing schools to set up walking buses and other solutions, with parents and volunteers helping local kids get to class safely.
We wrote to the nation's mayors pleading with them to lower speed limits outside schools, and many have come back to us with expressions of support. We talked to well-known New Zealanders with school-aged kids, and they united behind the campaign.
You can get involved too. We know people are busy, so the Sunday Star-Times and Neighbourly are encouraging families to choose one day a week when they and their kids walk, scoot, cycle - even ride a horse if that's what works for you!
I've chosen Mondays as the days I'll cycle to school with my 6-year-old son. And Neighbourly has set up a special pledge page, where you can choose a day when you will try to Foot It with your kids, talk with others doing the same - and go into the draw to win one of 50 Micro scooters. www.neighbourly.co.nz...

I once had a neighbour who bought something extravagant and told me it had just gone on the 'plastic', probably not realising what that would cost.

If you owe $1000 and just pay off the 3% minimum AFTER they've added 2% interest each month, it would take 13 years and 4 months and the total paid would be $2478.68
Calculations attached. Assumes 24% p.a. and must pay at least $10 each month.
