<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nHoughton Valley Community Garden: <\/strong>Good Fortune occurred this week. Sue from Operation Green Thumb Inc. came to see the garden and was very impressed. She is offering financial support for equipment; topsoil and seedlings so this Sunday the people who come to the garden will be making a list to send her. Also Common Sense organics in Kilbirnie has invited us to write a proposal and if successful the garden will get 5% of one day\u2019s profit. The garden is just north of the school, by the lower playground. We will meet at 2 pm this Sunday as usual, so come and have a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Houghton Bay Community email news: <\/strong>This email group is growing every week (is now 38 households) and is beginning to transform into a newsletter. Samantha, a journalist who lives in View Rd, has kindly offered to take over the email news so will start next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accommodation: <\/strong>Samantha is looking for a place to rent as she has to leave her house in View Rd. Samantha\u2019s message is: \u201cShane and I are looking for a 3 bedroom house in the area, we are responsible reliable tenants who always pay on time. Shane is a photographer\/house painter (he is currently painting the white deco house at the top of Hungerford Rd) and I am a journalist. We both love to surf and are in love with the ocean \u2013 so it would be wonderful to be able to see it It would be ideal if the house has a log burner or a heat pump? We are looking to move in around January next year. Thanks for your help.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n A message from Dave (caretaker at the school):<\/strong> \u201cCan anyone help Julia and her family? Julia is currently renting in Cave Road, works as a teacher aide at Houghton Valley School and has a child at the school. She is passionate about Houghton Valley and would love to stay in the area. She is looking for a 2,3,4 bedroom house up to $400\/week. Please spread the word.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alice Kreb Lodge garden: <\/strong>If you are planning to go for a walk up to the beacon, check out the small community garden next to the cottage and give it a water. The hose is on the side of the lodge. Just be mindful that there may be people in the lodge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Local crime: <\/strong>Some locals have had things stolen in the last couple of weeks including cars so be aware of this and report anything suspicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are the boundaries of Houghton Bay?: <\/strong>This question was asked in 1930 by the members of the Haughton Bay Progressive Association and they decided the following: Wyatts house on Hornsey Rd, Hungerford Road to quarry, Haughton Bay to South Point and Buckley Rd. Can anyone figure this out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regards, Grant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Houghton Valley Email Newsletter 26 November, 2010 Welcome to the new members \u2013 more locals are joining this group every week.
