Feedback sought as event grows

The increasing popularity of Temuka's Rock and Hop street party is causing growing pains.
Boost Temuka spokeswoman Sharnae Naysmith said this year's street party — which was part of Hospice's Caroline Bay Rock and Hop — had seen more cars than ever before participate.
The street party consisted of a cruise which snailed down King St before vehicles parked up for the public to admire.
Mrs Naysmith said that with so many vehicles ending up in a narrow and short area, it presented problems for both participants and organisers.
The organisation was working with the council and hospice to keep the event chugging along.
The number of cars visiting King St for the Rock and Hop street cruise has grown immensely.
She said she had a meeting with the council earlier this week and they had identified some "sticky points".
"Unfortunately there are some things that need to be tweaked, but we are working through that."
For people wanting to share their thoughts, there was a post on Boost Temuka's Facebook page asking the public for feedback.
The organisation wanted to know if people stayed once the cars were parked up, or did they go home?
Did they visit the market and stores up the main street and was there anything else they would like to see at the event?
Mrs Naysmith wanted to reassure people the event could remain exactly as it was; the feedback was simply to give her an idea of what people wanted.

Cardinals Welcome Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers to Busch Stadium
Cardinals Welcome Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers to Busch Stadium originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Coming off back-to-back series losses to the Rangers and Royals, the Cardinals will play host Shohei Ohtani and to the reigning World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend at Busch Stadium. Advertisement Despite dropping their last two series, the Cardinals are still six games above .500 entering play this weekend, with a record of 34-28. Unfortunately for St. Louis, the Cubs are still red-hot and now have a five game lead in the NL Central. The Dodgers are coming off a four-game series split against the Mets. With a record of 38-25, they currently hold a two-game lead over the Padres for first place in the NL West. Cardinals celebrate after Willson Contreras' walk-off singleJeff Curry-Imagn Images Friday, June 6, 7:15 p.m. CT How to watch/listen: FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, Matrix Midwest, KMOV-4, KMOX 1120 AM/104.1 FM Probable starters: Cardinals: Sonny Gray (6-1, 3.65 ERA) Dodgers: Justin Wrobleski (1-1, 8.00 ERA) Advertisement Saturday, June 7, 1:15 p.m. CT How to watch/listen: FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, KMOX 1120 AM/104.1 FM Probable starters: Cardinals: Erick Fedde (3-5, 3.82 ERA) Dodgers: Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-4, 2.39 ERA) Sunday, June 8, 1:15 p.m. CT How to watch/listen: FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, KMOX 1120 AM/104.1 FM Probable starters: Cardinals: TBD Dodgers: TBD What to watch for: 1. Can Cardinals pitchers right the ship? After the Cardinals' pitching was lights-out for the majority of the month of May, it's been a rough last week or so. In their last six games, the Cardinals are allowing an average of nearly seven runs per game. Their starters haven't been able to go deep into games, and the bullpen has looked shaky to say the least. Advertisement 2. Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers stars It's no secret that this Dodgers' lineup is absolutely loaded. Alongside Shohei Ohtani are former MVP winners Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, as well as Will Smith, who will likely be the NL's starting catcher in this year's All-Star Game. In 12 career games vs St. Louis, Ohtani is hitting .275 with two homers. 3. Michael McGreevy returns? With the starting pitching seemingly on the ropes and the Cardinals playing 13 games in 13 days, manager Oli Marmol has hinted at going back to a six-man rotation. With Sunday's starter still yet to be announced, it seems likely McGreevy will be making his return to the big leagues this weekend. McGreevy has shined is his brief time at the major league level, posting a 1.57 ERA over 28.2 IP. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Divers try to rescue whale entangled in rope — with a shark in tow, video shows
Divers off the coast of Mexico recently tried to free a humpback whale wrapped up in fishing gear — with a shark in tow, video shows. Conservation officials labeled the undertaking as 'dangerous.' The attempted rescue mission took place in the turquoise waters of the Gulf of California, near the city of La Paz, on June 5. 'Working hard trying to rescue an entangled (humpback) whale near Espiritu Santo island,' Chabe Castillo wrote in a Facebook post. 'There was still a shark in that net!! Crazy!!' A video posted by Castillo shows the marine mammal swimming close to the rocky shore with a thick bundle of fishing gear — including twisted ropes and numerous buoys — ensnared around its tail. Attached to the entanglement was a shark, seemingly lifeless, whose body had become intertwined with ropes. A separate video shows a diver approaching the whale and cutting and removing a piece of the entanglement with a knife. Soon after the videos were posted, a conservation group applauded the effort but said it should have been left to professionals. 'A huge thank you to those who tried to help the entangled whale in La Paz but we need for everyone to understand that these actions were dangerous for the people in the water and will make actual rescue of this whale more difficult,' the Mexico Marine Wildlife Rescue Center wrote in a post. The incident should instead have been reported to the National Network for Care of Entangled Whales (RABEN) so that trained teams could have responded, the group said. The group further stressed that untrained individuals should never approach entangled whales. 'In addition to the risk of being injured by the large mammal who is in distress, there is a high likelihood of becoming entangled yourself,' the post stated. 'If that animal dives while a person is caught up in the net they can easily drown…' The group added that cutting away parts of an entanglement could actually do more harm than good — as it could complicate a rescue attempt undertaken by professionals. 'We do not say this to make anyone feel bad, only to make everyone aware of the serious risks,' the post concluded. Humpback whales, which are found throughout all the world's oceans, can weigh up to 40 tons and measure up to 60 feet in length, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Entanglements with fishing gear are among the risks they face, which also include vessel strikes and ocean noise. Globally, an estimated 300,000 cetaceans — which include whales and dolphins — die each year as a result of entanglements and getting caught by anglers, according to the International Whaling Commission.
