ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659 -- A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, She complained to the driver and he had the man arrested. The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) What he had to say for himself. The man replied, 'Well your Honor, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that said, 'The Double Mint Twins are coming' and I grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, ' Logan 's Liniment will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, 'William's Big Stick Did the Trick,' and I could hardly contain myself. But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident!'... I just lost it.' 'CASE DISMISSED!!' *******Urgently wanted for ******* Kurow Market Day January 1st 2020 Buskers covering singalong music to entertain the public. A fee will be paid to the right person.

  • The Journey of Saving Not Just Land – but a Whole Island
    The journey of saving not just land – but a whole island What was once an environmental hazard and wasteland is now a restored conservation area thanks to the determination and vision of a community group. Kurow Island is a ten-hectare island which sits within the mighty Waitaki River braided system. The island is Crown land and falls equally between the Waitaki and Waimate District Councils. Access to the island is by the way of State Highway 82 where the original historic twin bridges linked South Canterbury and North Otago. From the early 1900s to 1996 the central area of the island was used as a Waitaki District landfill. Following the closure of the landfill in 1996 the area became an illegal dumping site, a fire hazard and a wasteland covered in weeds. It was infested with pests, gorse and broom which was up to two metres high. Amongst the mess were dumped cars and animal carcasses and this was all visible from the road and bridges. In 2001 Meridian Energy announced their plans for Project Aqua which set to divert three quarters of the water from the Waitaki River to generate hydroelectricity, with the intention to create a recreational reserve with a lake on Kurow Island. In 2004 Project Aqua was abandoned and consequently so was the land proposal. This meant the island was left in its messy state. A group of Kurow locals came together to explore the idea of cleaning it up, to create a recreational and ecological area that benefited people, wildlife, and the environment. Sandy Cameron was a leader in this initiative and said what started out as an idea formed into a significant project.

  • New Zealand National Climate Summary 2011: a Year of Extremes
    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2012 New Zealand national climate summary 2011: A year of extremes The year 2011 will be remembered as one of extremes. Sub-tropical lows during January produced record-breaking rainfalls. The country melted under exceptional heat for the first half of February. Winter arrived extremely late – May was the warmest on record, and June was the 3 rd -warmest experienced. In contrast, two significant snowfall events in late July and mid-August affected large areas of the country. A polar blast during 24-26 July delivered a bitterly cold air mass over the country. Snowfall was heavy and to low levels over Canterbury, the Kaikoura Ranges, the Richmond, Tararua and Rimutaka Ranges, the Central Plateau, and around Mt Egmont. Brief dustings of snow were also reported in the ranges of Motueka and Northland. In mid-August, a second polar outbreak brought heavy snow to unusually low levels across eastern and alpine areas of the South Island, as well as to suburban Wellington. Snow also fell across the lower North Island, with flurries in unusual locations further north, such as Auckland and Northland. Numerous August (as well as all-time) low temperature records were broken between 14 – 17 August. And torrential rain caused a State of Emergency to be declared in Nelson on 14 December, following record- breaking rainfall, widespread flooding and land slips. Annual mean sea level pressures were much higher than usual well to the east of the North Island in 2011, producing more northeasterly winds than usual over northern and central New Zealand.

Waitaki Delta Character Description This unit extends from the Otago Region and Waitaki District boundary at the Waitaki River, approximately 20km along the coast to the northern end of Oamaru. This area is the southern part of the outwash fan of the Waitaki River, and the unit extends northwards from the river mouth into the Canterbury Region as well. The coast is erosional and is characterised by a gravel beach backed by a steep consolidated gravel cliff. Nearer the river mouth the delta land surface is lower and there is no coastal cliff. In places, where streams reach the coast, there are steep sided minor ravines that run back from the coast. The land behind is farmed to the clifftop and characterised by pasture, crops and lineal exotic shelter trees. Farm buildings are scattered about but not generally close to the coastal edge. There are a number of gravel extraction sites close to the coast. 2 In the absence of topographical features, the coastal environment has been identified approximately 100m back from the top of the cliff to recognise that coastal influences and qualities extend a small way inland.
