FOUND - **R.I.P** Has anyone lost a ginger tabby kitten Waihi Road, Tauranga area?
At 9.15am today I saw a ginger tabby kitten hit by a car in front of 275 Waihi Road, Tauranga. Unfortunately, it has passed. I have knocked on at least 20 surrounding properties to locate the owner. I have taken the kitten to Tauranga Vets, Cameron Road, Tauranga to see if it was microchipped. It is not. The kitten is approx 10 weeks old and is a male. No collar. They will keep the kitten there for 2 weeks until I hopefully can locate the owner. I am desperate to find the owner. I am a cat lover and owner and I lovingly cared for this beautiful kitten after it had passed.
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power
Interesting responses to my post. Two in particular piqued my interest. Suzanne Williams and her comments about whinging about everything-Suzanne it is not about whinging. It is more about raising concerns about an undemocratic regime forced on us and then seeing the commissioners wanting to keep their sinecure. Greg Reardon "I vote to keep the commissioners"-Greg the point is that you do not have a vote. Look I get it-democracy is imperfect. Some of our previously elected councillors were rubbish-ego driven and feeding from the trough (not unlike our commissioners). But it is what we have got. It is better to have an imperfect democracy than an unelected and unaccountable cartel of commissioners who say "we know what is good for you".
