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...

We might have noticed we've had a bit of rain this week!!
Well due to the high volumes of water in the Waikato River catchment a number of low-lying Hamilton parks and reserves have now been closed.
These are Matakanohi Reserve, Grantham St car park, Pine Beach and Fairfield Esplanade.
The council says path users should not enter these parks, particularly if the gates are closed.

Any suggestions?
Lawrenson is hoping the new establishment can be named in a similar vein to his Claudelands bar, The Roaming Giant.
When he announced it was going to be built, a life-ling resident of the area wrote to the Waikato Times with a story of an elephant that escaped from the circus.
The then 10-year-old chanced upon it in the bush on his way home from school, Lawrenson said.
