Unmarked graves at Taradale cemetery

Denise from Marewa

I tried to do this last year and someone suggested Richard Dampney has a daughter living in Napier. In order to get these soldier's a marker for their graves, I need to hear from family. Please ask them to message me or email napierwargraves@gmail.com.
Seeking family for the following soldiers buried at Taradale (Napier) cemetery and don't have a headstone. It may be possible to get them one if no-one comes forward but we must first check there is no-one who may wish to object.

Richard Henry Dampney WW2 578787 died 20 August 1990
George Bernard Timlin WW1 64387 died 18 August 1921
John Morrison MacConnell WW2 281537 died 5 September 1998

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

POTTING MIX QUALITY

Patricia from Taradale

If, like me, you are an experienced and avid gardener you know how frustrating it is when those beautiful seedlings recently purchased fail to thrive. Have you ever considered it may not be your fault, you've done all the right things but it may be the new bag of potting mix you bought to plant them in . Have you ever complained to the garden centre? My recent experience showed the blatantly obvious difference between brands. The recently purchased product was nothing more than raw compost, whereas the previous product was a good mix and made the plants thrive. I was the only one to complain, there could not possibly be a problem with the product as they sell pallet loads of it........ Your comments would be appreciated.
