I’ve received a text about a cat struck and killed on the Glenside/Churton Park/Grenada Village over bridge off ramp toward Wellington. This being on a Tuesday or Thursday morning after he went missing and before Easter. WCC have indicated they would have transferred the person calling to NZTA who can’t help me as they have no set date, caller name or job log number. If anyone else saw a cat killed on this off ramp and can help us know if i’s our boy or not, we would so appreciate it. It’s been a month and no sign, and we are pretty desperate to know either way. TXT 0274152236 appreciated.

Max is looking for a home.

"I was an unplanned pregnancy and brought to the SPCA to find a home.
I may look like a typical wild rabbit, but I can assure you I am not. My Mum was a domestic rabbit and super sweet. I am good with people I know, and am still young and still learning. I have an inquisitive nature and would love a home with people who will have me around them, either as a solely indoor rabbit, or mostly indoors. I will need a large outdoor area with a weatherproof hutch or shelter for days when the weather is nice. I will need to be inside as part of the family at night, so a hutch or area inside with you is important. I would also like a female rabbit for company, so if you have a lonely rabbit maybe we could be friends?

On 14, 15 and 16 May, KAT will be performing a season of four short plays:

Overtones by Alice Gerstenberg directed by Hayden Rogers
Written in 1915 this is considered the earliest example of a play that dramatizes the unconscious on stage. Along with Gerstenberg's ability to write witty, interesting dialogue, this intriguing format made the play an instant success when it was first performed.

Enigma by Floyd Dell directed by Archana Sahani
A man and woman are sitting at a table. It seems clear that they are lovers who are breaking up. But do they actually even know what’s happening? It turns out to be quite the enigma.

Two Metres written and directed by Shauna Mc Coole
An up-to-the-minute, topical comedy about what Covid-19 is doing to how we react to events and interact with others.

Five Foes – Three Clues written and directed by Thomas Barker
It is a dark and stormy night, and a gaggle of self-aware genre staples have been mysteriously plucked from their respective murder-mystery worlds in order to solve the greatest crime of all.... or at least the most obnoxious. Will they be able to put aside their differences and work together? Expect the pun-expected!

Venue: Cochran Hall, 106 Cashmere Ave, Khandallah

New research reveals the chances of the South Island’s Alpine Fault generating a damaging earthquake in the next 50 years are much higher than previously thought.
New research led by Te Herenga Waka–Victoria University of Wellington senior lecturer Dr Jamie Howarth shows the probability of that earthquake occurring before 2068 is about 75 per cent.
Until now, it had been thought to be about 30 per cent, based on sequences of sediment deposited adjacent to the Alpine Fault in northern Fiordland.
Scientists from Victoria University, the University of Otago, GNS Science, the University of California, and the United States Geological Survey also calculated there is about an 82 per cent chance the earthquake will be of magnitude-8 or higher.
