This year we are hoping to find someone that will come to the courts where we play and take out club team photo's. It could be any time on a Saturday from 8:15 (our very young FF teams and U12 team that play at this time) through to 2:30pm to have any of our age grade teams have their picts taken before they play at 3:05pm. I would know in advance the game times of all our other teams so over about 3-4 Saturdays we could potentially have all teams photo's taken. Hagley Park is looking really lovely with their trees and all the leaves on the ground and we would like something a little different this year for our club pic's. We are happy to pay for your time as long as it is reasonable. If you are interested and keen, please email the club at hornby.netball@gmail.com and we will get back in touch with you.

Possible Stolen Dog

Denise from Addington

I have just been shopping at Countdown Moorhouse Ave. A man was begging for money. He didn't look in good shape, but he had the most beautiful dog with him.

He didn't look in good shape, but he had the most beautiful dog with him. Clearly very well looked after and well-fed. The dog had a good leather lead. The dog was ravenous. It was trying to eat plastic and then a rotten banana. I bought the dog some food, but when I went back to get more, the man disappeared. Unfortunately, I could not take a photo, neither do I know what breed the dog is. I can say that it was a male dog, medium size, unusual colouring - sort of brownish/blackish. If you have a dog that has gone missing and looks similar to the one I have described. I can fully describe the man who has it. Feel free to message me.

Hi Canterbury,

How's your community doing after the floods? Are you satisfied with the emergency response?

It's been over a week since 400% of the monthly average rainfall caused flooding in Canterbury, with multiple districts plunged into a state of emergency.

River engineers are working across the region, with sites being strengthened by machinery. Environment Canterbury Rivers manager, Leigh Griffiths, says that teams are continuing to monitor rainfall and river levels across the region.

"We're working closely with Civil Defence and the MetService to monitor the situation and will be posting rainfall and river flow updates on our website as the situation develops. We suggest that people avoid rivers and check the road conditions before travelling," he said.

The weather event triggered a state of emergency, hundreds of evacuations, and closed roads and bridges throughout the region. The red heavy rain warning was issued on Saturday night, the second since the warning's inception.

Hey neighbours,

Christchurch residents are upset at the state of the city’s roads and chlorine in the water as the council’s approval rating hits a 14-year low.

Just 49 per cent of people are satisfied with services provided by the city council, according to the organisation’s annual residents survey.

The figure is marginally worse than the 50 per cent reported last year, but is way down from the 62 per cent in 2019 and 79 per cent in 2007 when the question was first asked.

Are you satisfied with the council's services? Why/why not?

'Soft and slumping' Ashburton bridge closed on SH1 after extreme wet weather

Flood-hit Ashburton Bridge on SH1 has now closed and there is currently no alternate route south with other road options also closed.

Flood-hit Ashburton Bridge on SH1 has now closed and there is currently no alternate route south with other road options also closed.

Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown said the water in the Ashburton River had got into the piles of the bridge, causing a subsidence in the piles.

“The bridge has dropped and you can visually see one section of the bridge is dropped about four to six inches."

Engineers would assess the bridge to see what was required to fix it.

The bridge closure had divided the town into town and cut off part of the South Island. Staff were working hard to open one route by Tuesday night to get south of Ashburton.

FINDING THE ANSWER

I have lived in New Zealand for the last twelve years, after being born and raised in Somerset, England. My parents ran a playgroup in our house for much of my childhood and I made close friends there, but I still felt isolated and different to everyone else.

I always loved food. We were able to help ourselves from the cupboards at home when I was young, with no restrictions. I believe a normal eater would just eat until they were full, but I could not stop. I put extra food in Mum's shopping basket and would gorge on leftovers at night with my friends. My friend’s dad owned a pub and when the half-eaten plates came back, I would pick chips off them, chatting as I did so, to my friends' astonished faces.

From as far back as I can remember, I felt irritated and impatient with people. I would interrupt and correct the teachers at school and have furious rows with my family, then later tell them I loved them. I lived in a fantasy world. My favourite times at school would be writing stories and acting. My emotions were a rollercoaster, up and down. Food made me feel better, soothing all the anxiety. I never realised how dependent I was on food, until it got much worse.
