Bring Scoota HOME

Alison Neighbourly Lead from Kamo

These people are new to Northland and their "much loved" dog has disappeared. Please keep an eye out and if you know anything, please give them a call.

The day started early at 6.00am with a drive around the area in the hope that the quiet morning might entice him to walk a bit more alongside the roads. Dropped a few leaflets at the local supermarket, the weekend market as well. Thank you all for the kindness of your messages and sharing the posts. If we have forgotten to acknowledge you it is a mistake and we are sorry about it. Again we ask people, whanau in Kerikeri , Waipapa and the rest of the Far North district to SHARE , SHARE and hope that if he has travel a lot more afar than we thought and he has been picked up the kind driver will drop him at a vet's , the SPCA...
Skoota is a 10 YO Foxy X Jack Russell , mainly white with a brown spot on his back, has a red collar with names tag and telephone numbers, and a council tag from the South Island as we only recently moved up to Waipapa.
The first and only sighting was 72 hours ago on Kapiro Road Waipapa. Nothing since. He can be timid, certainly not aggressive, not interested in killing and eating sheep.

Also recently had a medical condition making him at times disoriented and unbalanced and for this needs care and regular visit to the vet's .

Again we ask people to share the info if possible as only with a wider community will we be able to locate him.

The country out there is huge and being so small it makes our task almost impossible on our own. Any sighting will help .

Please call 0212113462 if you can help.Thank you

Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday April 2nd

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

The film night for our next WFS screening will be on Thursday 2nd April in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.

At 6pm, WFS will screen the fast and frantic Paris comedy, The French Job.

Our 8pm screening is the heartfelt Italian comedy, A World Apart.

THE FRENCH JOB
France, subtitles, 2024, Comedy
94 mins, Rated M (strong language)
Cast: Melvil Poupaud, Steve Tientcheu, Julia Piaton, Sofiane Zermani
Director: Dominique Baumard

In 2010, five paintings were stolen from a Paris gallery. They included a Modigliani, a Matisse and a Picasso. They were never found.

Inspired by this unsolved art heist, this comedy imagines what may have happened to the stolen works.

Yonathan is a watch expert with a boring and predictable life. That changes when he meets Éric, a charismatic con man.

Things go from bad to crazy when they cross paths with Jo, a brilliant but volatile thief, who Eric has hired for a daring (and insane) art robbery.

Fast and very funny, this heist film blends sharp twists and dark humour to deliver a wildly inventive take on the most infamous art robbery of the 21st century. - IMDB

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday, 2nd April at 6pm and Thursday 9th April at 8pm.

View the trailer at: www.youtube.com...

Tickets: Door sales only. $10 WFS members. Non-members pay $5 extra as an Associate Membership fee per film (Total of $15).

All welcome. Cash only please – NO EFTPOS AVAILABLE.

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?
