Finally, in June 1918, the first service man was buried. On Anzac Day 2019 this free public talk will examine the historical context and the heritage features of the oldest part of the Services section, and tell some of the stories of men who had fought at Gallipoli but were buried at Karori. Meet at the Lychgate on the main cemetery road, 500 metres from the gates on Old Karori Road. Parking available in the area. The talk will start at 12.30 and take 45 minutes.

Plumbing recommendation.

Hi there neighbours,

Hi there neighbours,

I am helping a disabled person who had a plumber change washers and one (the hot water) in the bathroom sink was not fixed and continued to drip heavily. I´ve asked the plumber to come back to tell us what the problem is, and the plumber has been giving me all sorts of excuses to not return to help attend and fix the problem and then hanged up on me. Citizen´s Advice bureau also called the plumber and got all sorts of excuses not to return and fix the problem under the Consumer´s guarantee. The CAB person who called was also hanged up... and the plumber clearly refuses to service a disabled person, so that he can get hot water... We´ve been now waiting for over 3 months, to get the plumber to return, he has ignored phone calls and emails.
I´m wonder if anyone would know of a good helpful plumber, who could be helping -- tap washer is new, so we need to know why tap is leaking again... Plumber gives all sorts of excuses, but no explanation, as he hasn´t returned to see the situation.

Any good referral from local plumber who can be sympathetic to the situation, and help, are most welcome, as well as experiences... in fact a good person able to back up their work, is truly ideal.
Thanks a lot in advance neighbours.

(Tap is methven).

Hi Neighbours

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.

KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.

"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”

40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz
