SPECIAL SCREENING of 'COUSINS'

Mahara Gallery from

SPECIAL SCREENING of Briar Grace-Smith's film 'COUSINS'
at Te Raukura ki Kāpiti
Saturday 23 October, 5pm

Based on the 1992 novel of the same name by Patricia Grace, the film follows the journeys of three cousins in their lifelong search for each other. “Cousins is a story about strength and resilience, touching on epic events in the history of Aotearoa ... however, at its heart it is an intimate story, about the theft of a child and her family's lifelong quest to bring her back home to her people," says Grace-Smith.

This is a one-off, final-push fundraiser for our building redevelopment project. All proceeds from ticket sales will go toward this project.

The event will be held under Covid levels one or two, with social distancing and Covid safety measures in place. Tickets may therefore be limited, so booking is essential. Bar service will be available and a refreshment is included in the ticket price.

TICKETS: $30 - available through Eventfinda online; by calling 0800 BUY TIX (0800 289 849); or at the Coastlands Information Desk.

Thanks to Te Raukura ki Kāpiti for their support.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Rain: We largely missed out again

Murray from Paraparaumu

The sun's out so I guess the 'storm' has passed. Unfortunately the little rain amounting to a mere 13mm around midnight won't do much for the drought conditions in Kapiti. Around 100mm would have been nice.

It's approaching 40 days since we had anything substantial. Perhaps there is more to come from the present event.
