It comes after news that the number of people in New Zealand able to speak te reo Māori is declining. What do you think? Should it be made compulsory? Do you think this will help retain the language?
Neighbourly's own Sarah Moore has started studying te reo Māori follow her journey here.

Hey Neighbours,
How do you feel about your name?

How do you feel about your name?
Do you like it?
Do you hate it?
Do you want to change it?
One woman had her younger years tainted by the fact that she shared her name with five others in her class, so she changed it as soon as possible.
Now her daughter Esmee is about to start full-time education but will be sharing her name with two others in her class.
Horrified by this the mother posted to an anonymous parenting site if it would be unreasonable to change her daughter's name.
What do you think?
Has anyone in Franklin had a similar name situation?
What did you do about it?
Please put NFP if you don't want your comment printed.

These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.
No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.
Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.
Hi Neighbours.
I am after somebody to remove labels from a large number of silk and linen garments and then sew on new label replacements. This has to be a professional quality job, I'm talking about a couple of thousand items.
If interested please contact me to discuss details.

I've had several enquiries since last night.. Thank you . To clarify a couple of points:
I'm looking for a qualified person to come to our Bombay warehouse where all the clothes are on rails and do the job here, so we are able to keep all the clothes in their proper storage positions. This will mean bringing your required equipment with you.There are around 300 items and depending on the right person's qualifications, speed of work etc I can pay between 70 cents and $1.00 per item.
Thanks and Regards. Ian (in Bombay)

With the warmer weather still a few months away, it can be tempting to blast the heater or stay in the warm shower a little longer.
However, heating can be expensive, which is why Terry Johnson took heating into his own hands with his DIY solar heat collector.
Because of this Johnson and his family were able to heat there home for an estimated $1.50 per year.
Will any Franklin DIY fanatics be attempting this heating life hack?
Or do you have your own tricks for cost-effective heating in the winter?
