Every week in New Zealand, another disturbing story of employee fraud makes headlines. Just this year, a Pukekohe woman stole over half a million dollars from a building company, forcing it to close.

Then there's the Auckland bank employee who embezzled $262,000 to feed a gambling addiction. The warehouse manager who swindled nearly $500,000 by keeping non-existent employees on the payroll for years. The Morrinsville office administrator quietly charged $33,000 in personal purchases to company accounts – even buying grass seed for her new lawn.

Daylight saving time ends on 6 April. The pros and cons of this somewhat controversial practice can be debated on another occasion! For now, as we fall back, let's reflect on days of yore, when radical time-telling and conflicting calendars created some intriguing brainteasers. Helen Parish, professor of history at the University of Reading in the UK shared these three with BBC Future.

Citizen’s Arrest - We’ve all heard of it, but for many of us, it’s something we haven’t given much thought. To be honest, if you asked me last month, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you if it was real, made up for American movies, or just an old-fashioned practice lost to history.

But recently, it started turning up in the news and I started paying attention. I learned that citizen’s arrest is very real, legal in New Zealand and about to change in some important ways. Read more on page 4 of Shorelines. www.Shorelines.co.nz

Dear Neighbour

Our cover photo was taken at the Browns Bay Summer Spectacular on the 1st of March. The weather was glorious; the crowds were out, and a good day was had by all! There were heaps of activities for the kids and live music; market stalls and plenty of food options along the way to keep everyone happy. Or you might have gone to the Mairangi Bay Food and Wine Festival a fornight later. Both these annual events grow in popularity with Mairangi Bay offering an eclectic choice of craft beers and local wines; foodie trucks; live entertainment and activities for the kids to make it a family fun day out. More on that from the Mairangi Bay co-ordinator on page 37.

In this issue we take a close look at the new citizens arrest legislation and what it means for our local community, shoppers and businesses. You will find a comprehensive synopsis and interviews with some of the local stakeholders on pages 4-8. April is also a time to celebrate and remember – The East Coast Bays Returned Services Association (RSA) is celebrating its centenary in 2025. Marking a significant milestone in its history of supporting veterans and the local community. If you are out and about pop into the library during the month of April and enjoy the display that has been collated by the association. Low carb beers on tap at your local brewery. This is no fad but gaining traction and here to stay. From small craft brewers to the bigger players, they are all listening to the changing market needs and delivering brews that are easier on the waistline.
