"There's so much food and stuff gone, but we're alive - that's the main thing," says Kaikoura resident Diane Edkins (pictured) who finds out whether her house is given the all-clear while a Red Cross volunteer is with her: www.redcross.org.nz...

We're backing schools to set up walking buses and other solutions, with parents and volunteers helping local kids get to class safely.
We wrote to the nation's mayors pleading with them to lower speed limits outside schools, and many have come back to us with expressions of support. We talked to well-known New Zealanders with school-aged kids, and they united behind the campaign.
You can get involved too. We know people are busy, so the Sunday Star-Times and Neighbourly are encouraging families to choose one day a week when they and their kids walk, scoot, cycle - even ride a horse if that's what works for you!
I've chosen Mondays as the days I'll cycle to school with my 6-year-old son. And Neighbourly has set up a special pledge page, where you can choose a day when you will try to Foot It with your kids, talk with others doing the same - and go into the draw to win one of 50 Micro scooters. www.neighbourly.co.nz...

Our cover story today is about journalist Karen Rutherford's journey to recovery after a car allegedly ploughed into her horse, throwing Rutherford into its windscreen. Rutherford is now getting behind a petition launched the week after her crash by the NZ Horse Network to Minister of Transport Simon Bridges to make legislation clearer when it comes to passing horses on roads. Should horses be included in the national master plan for road safety?

I recently heard of a terrible road rage incident that happened on our roads and, reading some social media posts, it seems this behaviour is not uncommon in our region. Do you think road rage is common? Have you been on the receiving side of someone's road rage? Tell us in the replies.
