Unveiling for a WW1 Veteran

Denise from Marewa

On Saturday, 6 November at 11am, a headstone will be unveiled for a veteran who las lain in an unmarked grave since August of 1938.

Thanks to Genealogy Investigations and NZ Remembrance Army, a headstone has been purchased and will be unveiled with a service.

There is limited parking in the cemetery so parking down by the dog agility equipment or at the sportsgrounds is recommended. The cemetery is beside the cycleway.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
