Kai Kora, Kai Kura, even Kia Kora (as I heard one person say on the six o’clock news the other night). Following the devastating earthquakes we’ve heard all manner of versions of the place Māori named Kaikōura.
People may think it’s not a big issue, that it’s only a name or a word.

Some even scream PC gone mad when encouraged to use the correct pronunciation. And to them it probably is, but to me it’s more than that.
Why getting it right is so important- according to Luke Tipoke.....
Kupe installed a kaitiaki at the entrance of Pelorus Sound / Te Hoiere to protect the mauri of the area.
According to Ngati Kuia tradition this kaitiaki was Kaikaiawaro, a white dolphin that appeared in times of danger to assist Kupe’s descendants.

Burials costs will double at most cemeteries in Marlborough in bid to shave down rates by 0.2 per cent, or about $5.30 per ratepayer per year. The increase will also make maintaining rural cemeteries more fair, the council says. Do you support the increase?

Pollard Park's foundation pads have been laid and the first ‘acorn’ pods have been installed. Completion is only a month away. The equipment from Pollard Park is being ‘upcycled’ for this site and will have a farm-style theme.
A new playground at Mark Smith Reserve, on the Boulevard Park on Taylor subdivision, is expected to be open by late June.
Construction of the new Renwick Domain playground is also progressing too, and expected to be opened by mid-June.

Hi neighbours! The Government has announced plans to reform NCEA by 2025, with more focus on numeracy and literacy, and 50 per cent internal exams and 50 per cent external. Is it a fair way to measure students?

Marlborough Girls' College principal Mary-Jeanne Lynch said a "one size fits all" overhaul of assessments was a "broad brush approach" that would not work for everyone. Do you think this would help any students you know? Let us know by commenting below! Read more here.
I'm just not happy to pay with my rate payment towards a Dog Park. I like dogs, they can be a good friend and helpful for lonely people. Just don't through my money towards them, please. For me it looks like the Council has too much money and are looking for a hole to through it inn.

The other surprise is that on this post from the Council you can like it only but you can't dislike it - - - - - where are we???? Think about what they are doing with us, do we have to accept this? Grrrrrr!
There’s a new fire in town…. we are absolutely thrilled to announce that both the Pyroclassic IV and Mini Wood burning fires are now ULEBs. One of the cleanest wood burning fires, made right here in New Zealand, this unique Kiwi fire can now become a part of your family.

The ceramic cast cylinder of the fire chamber retains heat like a kiln so you can enjoy consistent warmth, large heat storage and the ultimate convenience of having to reload the fire less.
Can you imagine? Loading your fire up at night and waking up warm with your new Pyro that has provided an overnight burn to take off the chill of the cooler winter mornings. Available in over 200 colour options and with a 10mm thick steel top plate that also provides an excellent additional cooking surface.

Kupe is said to have had a pet shag called Te Kawau a Toru - whose responsibility it was to test ocean currents.
Te Kawau broke its wing and was drowned while testing the current in the French Pass.
The King Shag that live in the Sounds are said to be Te Kawau’s descendants.
