Locals are feeling “absolutely disgusted” at the suggestion that they are behind the incident, which involved a vandal felling eight street pōhutukawa trees with a chainsaw.
Paul and Sue Wilson, who have lived on the road for over 10 years, arrived home on Monday from a trip to Waiheke Island to find a line of felled trees and a curt hand-written note in their letterbox.

Emotions really exist, we are born with the basic ones hard wired into us. Anger, shame, disgust, desire…. all normal humans experience such emotions. If we have learned anything about the brain, we probably also believe that’s what the limbic system is all about, right?
What if this is all just wrong? Come along to hear about the latest research. Emotions are not things that happen to us, despite it really feeling that way sometimes! This talk is based on psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett's book: "How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain".
You will never think about emotions the same way again!

An 11-year-old girl found the war medal on the footpath in Titirangi and handed the treasure to police.
Massey Community Constable Mike Nolan began searching for the owner of the medal bearing the name E W Simon.
No burglaries had been reported so he turned to Medals Reunited NZ for help.
Enter Ian D. Maryn, a retired NZ Army Major.
Maryn discovered the medal belonged to war veteran Edward Simon, who had died in 1993.
More enquiries found Simon's stepson Malcolm, a Johnsonville resident, and the medal was returned to the delighted family.
