Rememberance day!
ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces became known as ANZACs. Anzac Day is a commemoration of the anniversary of the landing of Australian and New Zealand troops at Gallipoli, Turkey on 25 April in 1915.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
From the poem 'For the fallen' by Laurence Binyon

You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.
Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

The risk of flooding in the Waimakariri district has caused a rethink of building guidelines.
The Waimakariri District Council has endorsed new flood mapping freeboard and floor level guidelines for very low, low and medium risk areas as it plans ahead for future flood events.
The new guidelines recommended floor levels of 300mm to 500mm above the flood level.
But staff were recommending no building in areas considered to be high risk flood hazard areas.
‘‘It is really important that our district continues to be built in a way that provides minimal risk to people and property,’’ mayor Dan Gordon said.
‘‘There has been a significant amount of work undertaken to ensure any risk of flooding has been mitigated the best it can be and that the process is as streamlined and cost effective as possible to developers.’’
In a report to April’s council meeting, utilities and roading general manager Gerard Cleary said the freeboard level was the height above the designated flood level.
In the Waimakariri district, the previous standard was a freeboard level of 300mm.
‘‘If the flood level is one metre above the ground at a house site and a 300mm freeboard level is applied, then the building’s floor level would need to be 1.3 metres above the ground,’’ he said.
Guidelines varied throughout New Zealand, but the freeboard allowance was generally between 300mm and 500mm.
In Christchurch the freeboard allowance was 400mm.
Cleary said the Waimakariri district was located in a large and predominantly flat floodplain, which meant a 300mm freeboard allowance was sufficient in a number of areas.
But there were several factors supporting the raising of the freeboard allowance to 500mm.
These included vehicle wash, survey error and inaccuracy, fences impeding flow, less public and insurance industry acceptance of flooding, modelling error and uncertainty, minor earthworks, ongoing movement due to seismic activity, climate change and catchment
changes.
National guidelines for new greenfield developments recommended a 500mm freeboard allowance above the flood level, Cleary said.
‘‘Where the land has a low risk of flooding, there is little or nothing that needs to be done by the developer to achieve the freeboard requirement.
‘‘In areas of medium or higher risk there may need to be additional filling or careful design considerations given to achieve the desired level protection.’’
Cleary said the guidelines took into account variation 1 to the Waimakariri District Plan, required by the Resource Management (Enabling Housing Supply and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021.
Variation 1 identified areas of Kaiapoi as unsuitable for further housing intensification due to flooding risk.

A proposed cycle way in Rangiora has been approved for further consultation, despite safety concerns.
The Waimakariri District Council’s utilities and roading committee has chosen Railway Rd as the preferred route over Southbrook Rd, as it looks to link the Passchendaele Pathway (between Kaiapoi and Rangiora) with the Rangiora town centre.
The proposed route would head up Railway Rd, along Torlesse and Coronation streets and up Ellis Rd.
But Pak’nSave store owner James Flanagan and Foodstuffs South Island Ltd property development manager Rebecca Parish said following Railway Road past the supermarket was ‘‘the wrong option’’.
In a deputation to Tuesday’s (April 18) committee meeting, Flanagan said up to 10 large, 2.9 metre wide trucks made deliveries to Pak’nSave each day via Railway Rd.
The lack visibility for truck drivers made it unsafe for cyclists, he said.
‘‘The council is making a decision over funding, rather than safety.’’
The project was being funded through the Government’s Transport Choices funding package, which required all works to be completed by June 2024.
But senior engineering adviser Don Young said the safety concerns could be mitigated.
He suggested making Railway Rd one-way, widening the road, and installing signage and flashing lights to warn cyclists of trucks.
The only other viable route would involve crossing the railway line at Marsh Rd and crossing back further up, but this would require agreement from KiwiRail, he said.
Council staff had approached KiwiRail and been advised it could take ‘‘years to complete’’, following KiwiRail processes due to staff shortages.
‘‘We don’t have that timeframe with the funding we have, but we could look at it for the long-term plan,’’ Young said.
Councillors voted to authorise staff to proceed with detailed design and consultation with businesses in the area and other stakeholders.
A road safety audit will be completed and a report will be presented to the utilities and roading committee in July.
