BayBuzz - Be in the know

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
