Today's Ceremony was held at Albert Square, Hastings.
It was sobering to listen to the Roll Of Honour read allowed, to hear the names, ages and years that people had died at the hand of another person. To see the photos of children who never grew up to see their future and not live out the hopes and dreams of what could have been, was heartbreaking.
It was my privilege and honour to help lead today's service and to meet the family members who came to give tribute and honour their person. However, when I looked in their eyes and greeted them with a handshake, I felt sadness and grief. To hear an older man talk of his son who was killed when he was 50 years old and to realise that as parents our babies are always our babies no matter how old they are and to have someone take a child away is beyond all understanding. To watch a grown woman cry because her father was killed 20 years ago - she looks so young, how old could she have been?
When I grew up in Napier in the '70s and '80s, I remember what happened to our community as we grieved the loss of those who were slain as victims of kidnapping and homicide.
Later in the early '90s, I lived in Dunedin, and again, I recall my friends who were taken at the hand of another person.
I cannot begin to imagine how life has been for the survivors of homicide victims, but without a doubt, I can say "I am so very sorry, and my deepest love is with surviving family and friends."
Thanks for listening, Neighbours and Friends. Also, thanks to Mayor Sandra Hazelhurst for attending today and joining with others in their open speeches of unity. Coleen Davey and Linda Walsh and Linda's mum Joanne are wonderful volunteers to organise the event for today and bring us together. Thank you.
Is anyone else having problems with their internet ?
We are on copper connection ADSL
We can go days without a problem with very good speeds. Then randomly we get constant disconnections throughout a day or two. Phoned Spark and just get the usual response that it must be a problem at our end.

But today I was talking to someone who has the exact same problem.
I have tried different modems connected to different jack outlets and have the same problem.
It is definitely an issue outside of our property.
Whether it's 'beautifying' your town or hosting a free class in your community, perhaps even volunteering or doing a clean-up... there are SO many ways to take part in this month's campaign.
What are you doing to make your neighbourhood even better?

I am sure many of us just waited in line for a very long time to get the pre-sale tickets to Elton John and missed out after waiting for 90 minutes. Can't win em all! If anyone got any spare tickets for General Admission, please let me know. Some people may have doubled up if friends were also trying to get them for the group. .... I was on the right place before 9:01 and had thousands in front of me.. tickets went on sale at 9am. Far out, that is popular! On the bright side, I did remember my password for the pre-sales and was worried I might not get that part right!
