Missing: Teddy – 16yo Chihuahua x Papillon – Black & White – from J Tolhopf Road around 9pm on Saturday night. We came up to visit my parents for the night and he has escaped through the cat door. We have been looking for him for hours with unfortunately no luck. He is wearing a blue collar and currently wearing a dog-cone as he has been biting his back recently. Please let me know if you have seen my little man, or keep an eye out.
My number is 021 237 2546. Thank you.

Hi Everyone,
My son and partner have horses grazing on West Coast Road, twice this week a Black 4 wheel drive vehicle with a horse float on the back has been spotted parked below one of the paddocks where the three horses are grazing – on both occasions when they have been approached they have quickly put the back up on the float and taken off. It does appear at this stage to be suspicious – so just a friendly warning to let others be aware that they are in the area.
If it is all innocent then perhaps they could let us know.
Regards,
Lynda Wright – [email protected]

Hi again,
Today, Vector have confirmed to me that the outage yesterday does qualify for a Service Guarantee Payment – anyone who falls within the affected area is eligible for a payment under this scheme. It’s $50 you won’t have if you don’t call and claim for it… and it’s super easy to do.
Details of the claim references you need were sent in yesterday’s email; they’re included below for easy reference… The Vector General Enquiries line is open 7am until 6pm (sorry, you’ve just missed it today). 0508 VECTOR (0508 832 867).
It only takes 3-5 mins to call it in and claim, they’ll send you your $50 in approximately 10 days.
Regards,
Chris.
Yesterday’s email:
Hi Everyone,
If you were affected by today’s power outage, then you’ll want to read this email… You may be able to make a claim for a prolonged outage under Vector’s Service Guarantee:
<a href=”%22″>https://vectorwebstoreprd.blob.core.windows.net/blob/vector/media/vector/15-08-16-vector_service_standard_doc_res.pdf</a>
<blockquote>“<b>Once we learn of an outage</b> on our network, we endeavour to restore the power supply as quickly as possible.
If we don’t restore your power within the timeframes outlined below, we’ve agreed with your retailer to pay you $50*.
That’s equivalent to approximately one month’s line charges for the average household.
<b>The timeframes are:
</b>· 2 hours in the CBD
· 2.5 hours in urban areas
<b>· 4.5 hours in rural areas</b>”</blockquote>
<b>0508 VECTOR (0508 832 867) </b>
If you want to make a claim, you will need some details of the outage, the below references will help you:
<strong><span style=”color: #ff0000;”>Electricity Outage: 11<sup>th</sup> Sept 2017 6:28am – 5:24pm (11hrs)
</span></strong><span style=”color: #3366ff;”><b>Their outage / Job Ref: 1-2535031425
(This is the one which you should use initially, they may simply pay out based on this, and your address being within the known affected area).</b></span>
<span style=”color: #339966;”><b>I personally logged this at 8:17am Their ref: 1-2535032094 (~9hrs long from that point), you can quote this reference too if it helps, as it establishes a point at which Vector knew about the outage.</b></span>
<span style=”color: #ff0000;”><b><i>Stated cause of outage: Feeder Outage (this is a network fault, which can happen for a range of reasons; they did not tell me that it had been identified as a weather related issue).</i></b></span>
<span style=”color: #000000;”><strong>You’ll be calling to request a ‘<span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>service guarantee payment – claim</span>’</strong></span> – use the outage ref to help them to find it, and don’t let them tell you that it was restored before 5:24pm – a partial restoration occurred between 3:01 and 4:19pm. Even at those inside timeframes, the outage lasted from (when I reported it to them 8:17am until 3:01pm which is just under 7 hours, still well outside of their 4.5).
<i>My own ref for my claim (which you shouldn’t need to quote them) was: 1-2536546513 – They have not yet confirmed that it will be paid, as the final details on the job have not been entered into their shared system yet. However, it takes 3-5 mins to call and log a request for a claim. Be sure to get hold of your own claim reference number then you’ll know that they’ve logged it appropriately.</i>
If you do this and want to let me know the outcome please send me a reply email (to: <a href=”%22mailto:”>[email protected]</a>)
Regards,
Chris.
