	I have just received word from Adrian Sainsbury that the power
crisis in New Zealand is now over, and that RNZI has resumed its normal
broadcast schedule.
	Adrian says that the hydro lakes are full, and that there has been
sufficient snowfall this winter to carry them through the summer without a
problem.

	For those of you who do not have the RNZI schedule, here it is:
