The Crusaders name debate has been hotly disputed after the terrorist attack in Christchurch, where 51 people were killed after a gunman opened fire on Muslim worshippers in two mosques in the city.
The name-change pressure emerged because of the centuries-old sensitivity over the history of the Crusades, which were bloody medieval conflicts between Muslims and Christians.

An open letter to the owners of the dog that attacked mine on Monday afternoon at the Rangiora Dog Park. I hope you see this or someone knows who you are and passes it on.

I hope you see this or someone knows who you are and passes it on.
I apologise I didn't stick around to talk to you, I was far more concerned at getting urgent treatment for my injured dog. But I did hear you say that "He had never done anything like that before..." And I believe you. However he has now. You have seen first hand your dog attack another unprovoked. It was vicious & scary.
My message to you is please , please don't ignore this. I don't want this to happen again to another dog. I sincerely hope you will now take action. Whether it be visiting a behavioural specialist, investing in a muzzle or simply not allowing your dog to be unleashed.
Luckily my dog is recovering ok after an afternoon in surgery, however we may never go back to that park again. which is unfortunate for my other 2 dogs! If you don't take action you will be risking not only the life of another dog but also you're own.
Also a big thank you to others who stepped in & tried to get the dog off of mine. A very unfortunate incident, but an opportunity to ensure it doesn't happen again! Stay close to your dogs when you're at the Park everyone!

A more realistic outcome is early burnout, loss of motivation and potential mental health issues in later life.
Since 2008 we’ve seen a 60% surge in sporting injuries among under 14s. This is twice that of any other age group.
We’ve talked with the experts to discover how to maintain Kiwi kids’ sporting balance, and how you can help them reach their potential:

"I see in article on Stuff, that Rangiora is finally going to get a "Community Service Centre" that will offer General Surgery, Orthopedics etc (this is great news, and thanks to Sandra and Paula who worked tirelessly behind the scenes for this outcome), - Common Sense says I thought these services were offered in a Hospital. The need for a 2nd Hospital in Christchurch is well known. The existing Christchurch Hospital is a great facility, and sadly as recent events have shown, well equipped to cope with any emergency.
However; the problems with the existing Hospital are also well known, IE; Capacity (even with the new Acute Services Block been built), Parking, Access to name a few. I note that this new "Facility" is not going to have a Emergency Department. With a Increasing and Aging Population in the Waimakariri (and North Christchurch), this defies Common Sense.
A new Level 4 Hospital in Rangiora would go a long way to address some of these issues."
