A Story of the Avon River

Graeme from Burwood

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful river running through the neighbourhood of Burwood/Avondale. It was a well-kept area until one day there was a terrible earthquake. Then everything stopped.

The grass got … View moreOnce upon a time, there was a beautiful river running through the neighbourhood of Burwood/Avondale. It was a well-kept area until one day there was a terrible earthquake. Then everything stopped. The grass on the banks got longer and longer and people could not enjoy walking there. The grass got so long a request to have it cut was sent to the Council, who sent someone to cut it. A neighbour seeing the result took it upon himself to tidy the area himself so that people could again enjoy the area. The community appreciated what he did and a local organisation bought him a new lawnmower to make his work easier. One day after a number of years the Council sent some people to build a stopbank. After a few weeks of work, they left, leaving a pile of dusty soil with sides too steep to mow with a lawnmower (if they had planted any grass) resulting in a magnificent display of weeds.
The neighbour became disheartened and very disappointed. How is he to fix it so that it looks again like a Garden City we live in instead of an abandoned allotment?
Any ideas on how to make this sad story have a happy ending?

Later update (27th Jan) from his owner:
After some effort trying to verify the sighting in Lincoln, we've been unable to do so. On that basis we've decided to cancel Sunday's organised search. Another greyhound in the Lincoln area may account for the sighting on Tuesday. We ask Lincoln people to still be on the look out and report any sighting as we can't be 100% certain that it wasn't Henrik. We will be in Lincoln Saturday and Sunday, doing poster and letter box drops. If you want to join us, please message us. Thank you again for all your support and efforts to find Henrik. It means a lot to us. We respect your time and energy and won't ask you to search unless there's a clear possibility of success.





Volunteers are needed.

Copied and pasted from the above page for those who don't have Facebook:

Lincoln Search: Operation Henrik Come Home is the second co-ordinated volunteer search for Henrik, a 12 yr black greyhound who went missing from his new home in Halswell the evening of 14.01.18. Someone reported seeing him in Lincoln on Tuesday 23 Jan at 4.30pm. This is the most recent sighting.

Meeting Place:
The meeting place is on the Liffey River in Lincoln. Specific location and map coming shortly, please check back.

Times:
The co-ordinated search will happen between 8.00am-11am. Volunteers are welcome to arrive at any time and to participate in the search for as long as they can, however, search areas will take at least 1 hour to complete. Volunteers can register in person from 7.45am. The first briefing will be at 8.00am (all volunteers arriving after 8.00am can register and will be briefed). Debriefs will happen on a group-by-group basis.

Volunteering:
Volunteers will need to register online in advance before 9pm, Sat 27 Jan or on the day. Families are very welcome. All children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. You can register online here: goo.gl...

Please remember to:
- bring a waterbottle
- bring a mobile phone (for photos and phone calls)
- a leash in case you find him
- wear a hat and sunscreen (it’s likely to be hot and sunny)
- wear appropriate footwear (the fittest people will be asked to walk rougher terrain, including wetland, river banks etc)

Groups of volunteers will be issued a specific search area to complete based on their abilities and time available. Maps of search areas, information sheets and flyers will be distributed to each group. All volunteer groups need to report back to Home Base after each search.

Drinks, snacks and sunscreen will be available on the day.

Whatever day Henrik comes home, a celebration will be held and all volunteers will be invited to celebrate with Henrik and his family at the Halswell Quarry Dog Park!

Thank you for offering your time and efforts to help bring Henrik home. #comehomehenrik
