BayBuzz Digest #5 – in print and online
December 19, 2008
The December edition of BayBuzz Digest is now available, and all the articles are on the BayBuzz website as well. The Digest will be letterbox-distributed in the next few days to about 10,000 homes in Hastings, Napier and Havelock North, plus you can pick up a copy in a few dozen shops, dairies and cafes around the region.
Read about …
- The region’s water issues
- Councils’ long term planning challenges
- Robin Gwynn’s take on the steady loss of hospital beds in HB
- Mark Sweet on crime and punishment
- Elizabeth Sisson on the extent of unhealthy housing in the Bay, with an appeal for action
- Murray Douglas arguing that measures to clean the region’s air are too draconian (with a rebuttal by yours truly)
- Brooks Belford profiling designer David Truebridge and sculptor Ben Pearce
- And Kent Baddeley saluting the Clearview Winery.
Our Guest Buzzmaker this edition is Napier Mayor Barbara Arnott, with her version of a Tale of Two Cities. Councillor Tim (Scrooge) Gilbertson wraps up the year with Happy Birthday, Jesus.
Finally, don’t miss our appeal for year-end contributions to BayBuzz. If you like what we’re doing, give us a hand!
Happy Christmas,
Tom Belford
