Kewpie Cruise owner Brandon Stone said the one of his vessels discovered the debris this morning, supposedly marking a tribal boundary, and cancelled their trip to the island.

Stone says it is the latest act of aggression against his tour business from a few "bad apples" on the island. He says racist remarks have been shouted at people on board his vessel.

Fenced off leash dog park?

Barb from Pyes Pa

I’m new to the area and was surprised that Tauranga doesn’t have any fenced off leash dog parks. One of our dogs is a Beagle and her hunting instincts don’t lend themselves well to off leash areas that aren’t fenced...and I’d love to find somewhere for her (and our other dog) to … View moreI’m new to the area and was surprised that Tauranga doesn’t have any fenced off leash dog parks. One of our dogs is a Beagle and her hunting instincts don’t lend themselves well to off leash areas that aren’t fenced...and I’d love to find somewhere for her (and our other dog) to socialise! We’ve been out to the TECT All Terrain Park...the off leash area there is great and secure but I’m a little scared to lose the Beagle amongst all the brush and there aren’t often any potential doggy playmates around. Does anybody know if Tauranga Council has ever considered building a fenced doggy park? Is there any backstory as to why there isn’t one? I’d drive to any corner of town to use one!

We used them for weddings and the cafe. Strong sturdy metal frames with either a green or salmon coloured padded seat. The seat can unscrew for recovering if you need to. But the chairs are in great condition with no fading. Take the whole 35 for $360 or buy individually for $10 per chair.
