Hey Neighbourly folk, check out this beautiful piece of writing from Stuff journalist Marty Sharpe.

The rugby gods weren’t ready for Colin Mataira.
Three times he turned up at their gates on the afternoon of July 11, and three times they sent him back. The 45-year-old father of five, and grandfather of three, to all intents and purposes died three times when his heart stopped on the 10-metre line of a Napier rugby field that day.

Jeff Montgomery has been forced to live out of his garage after the house next door was burned down.

The derelict property next door in Abel Smith Street burnt down in a high profile blaze that caused $500,000 in damage to his property. His insurance company is covering the cost of the repairs but not the loss of income he suffered from no longer being able to operate a bed and breakfast.

He is frustrated that the building was derelict and vagrants had been living in it. The council has listed it as a heritage building but was unaware of the poor state it was in.
