Hopefully most are aware of this, however having spoken to HBRC today thought it might catch some who are unaware.
The document has not been delivered to hundreds of homes and consequently the submission date has been extended to 22 November. A phone cal to HBRC will get you a copy sent by mail.

Submit people and halt the sale of any part of the Port as there are ways to fund the Port's requirements without selling off a huge part of it. The submission document is totally skewed to selling 49% and has a taste of shambles surrounding the dam proposal.

Hi there,

Hi there,
Today I am thankful that we live in NZ during Peace Time.
Thank you to all those who served and sacrificed with their own lives or by being the ones who were to stay at home and farewell their husbands, sons, brothers, and friends.
Thank you to all those who continue to protect the innocent, who fight for injustice on every level and who bring peace wherever they can.
We don't have to go to fight in some horrid war to stand up for someone being mistreated - we don't have to leave our shores to fight for injustice or to bring peace to people.
If they did this for me and for my family, what can I do to respect what they did?
No greater love has someone that he should lay down his life for his brother/friend/stranger and in our case for people who are not even born yet.
Sincere thanks and today I choose to remember you and give thanks and say I am sorry that you had to suffer.

The first three pictures are the ghosts of soldiers silently standing over their graves in the St John's Churchyard, Slimbridge. It floors you to silence and moves you to tears. Well done creator Jackie
Lantelli, for a stunning tribute to those who gave their lives 💜

The photo of the crosses is from the Auckland Domain where there is a cross for every soldier who died in WWI. 18, 277 crosses are there to see. The second photo shows the section for the brothers from one family.
A special place for 2 brothers, then 3 brothers and then would you believe, families who lost 4 brothers.
I can not even begin to imagine.

Peace and Courage to you

Audrey Tolua from Red Cross - Hastings Service Centre

After almost four-and-a-half years, World War I came to an end on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month on November 11, 1918.

After almost four-and-a-half years, World War I came to an end on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month on November 11, 1918.

The fighting ceased at 11am, but not before it claimed a toll of more than 18,000 New Zealanders’ lives, of 100,000 in total (or ten per cent of the population at the time) who served overseas including 425 soldiers from the Hastings district.

Today at 11am on 11 November, throughout Aotearoa New Zealand we will mark the centenary of the Armistice that ended the First World War in 1918 with a two minute silence of remembrance. This silence will be broken by a “Roaring Chorus” of joyful noise, echoing the celebrations of 100 years ago when people fill the streets in a spontaneous and jubilant celebration at news of the war’s end.

Club Hastings RSA Commemorations
Hastings Town Clock
Commencing 10:30am

Free buses will be provided – one departing 9.45am at Havelock North domain at the Te Mata Rd bus stop, and one at the Flaxmere shopping village, also at 9.45am.

In memory of the ones who did not make it home. We will remember them.

Hi there Friends and Neighbours,
Some of you may be aware halfway during this year I have had the privilege of becoming a Funeral Celebrant. The families I have met have all been beautiful. It has been a privilege to learn about their loved one and help create a service so together we have been able to honour the deceased by telling stories and sharing our tributes. The funeral and memorial services have been done tastefully and creatively in such a way that the family members and friends can come away feeling as 'whole' as they can as they move forward knowing they did a good job.

After journeying with these families and after watching my own family say our final Goodbyes to close relatives, I have done some research. I have taken advice from doctors, and counsellors and psychologists and other Celebrants and can see some common areas of information that would be helpful for people to have thought about before a bereavement happens.

I have prepared a 'How To Stay Well During Times of Bereavement' public talk that comes with handouts, as well as an easy to read document that people can fill in for themselves which gives whanau and family a chance to find out their wishes should they die. It is a little like preparing our Emergency/Earthquake kits. Think about it, pack it, and park it. Pull it out if and when you need it. Much of the information will be helpful not only when there is a death, but for many situations of stress and anxiety or acute difficulty.

This presentation is a friendly positive way of giving people useful information that can be so incredibly helpful at a time when there is so much to do and complicated things to be thinking about.

For those of you interested in coming and hearing about How To Stay Well During Times of Bereavement and how to keep your family and friends well, can you please comment below or PM me on what days and times of the day might best suit you. If we get enough people interested, I will aim to find a time and place that works for you. If you belong to a community group or a workplace that is interested, I am currently taking bookings for next year. Depending on the type of group there will a no cost or small cost to cover expenses. I can confirm costs once we have a date and venue and I know how many people are keen.
Looking forward to hearing days and times that will work best for you.

Kind regards
Rhonda Diprose
