“Don’t be scared of the bowel screening test – do it for the sake of your family” is the message from respected iwi and community leader Dame Naida Glavish.

Around 100 New Zealanders die from bowel cancer each month, but regular bowel screening every two years can help find cancer early when it can usually be successfully treated.

Dame Naida has done the test herself and says it’s clean and simple to do. You should have been sent a test kit if you live in the Waitemata DHB area, and are; aged 60 to 74, under 60 and were invited onto the bowel screening pilot.

If you think you are eligible and have not been sent a bowel screening test please call 0800 924 432 or visit our website

Auckland Council's new ways to deal with dogs

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland Council is using DNA testing of dogs, employing "barking advisers" and giving staff body cameras to combat nuisance dogs. The council's annual animal management report shows a 4% reduction in dog attacks and an 18% reduction in roaming dogs over the past financial year.

Auckland Council is using DNA testing of dogs, employing "barking advisers" and giving staff body cameras to combat nuisance dogs. The council's annual animal management report shows a 4% reduction in dog attacks and an 18% reduction in roaming dogs over the past financial year.

This followed new council initiatives including creating a team of barking advisors, giving animal management officers body cameras and using DNA analysis to resolve dog attack cases. With the DNA testing, animal management could scientifically link a dog to an attack. The unit is the first in New Zealand to use this technology.

The bark advisers team was created to deal with nuisance barking complaints, of which there were 7149 in the past year. According to the report, the new approach has seen a 13.5 per cent reduction in barking complaints, and fewer repeat calls to noisy dogs.

Hey team

*This post has been edited to include more information*

A friend of mine was ticked for going 85kmh in a 100kmh zone on the Northern Motorway, near Tristram Ave. It was at 10.30pm last Tuesday but she was traveling in the right lane. She was fined $150 and suffered 20 demerit points. The official wording on the fine was "slow vehicle or inconsiderate driving impeded traffic".

I want to know how common it is to be ticketed for traveling too slow under the limit. Has it ever happened to you? And if it has, what were the circumstances around what happened to you, and do you believe what happened was fair?

Your anecdotal information will be used for background research or to complement the story which will include official stats and comment, such as that from Inspector Peter McKennie, who is the Acting National Manager of Road Policing.

Please feel free to email me on Nicole.lawton@stuff.co.nz
