Hi, my name is Mars and I am a very friendly 2.5 year old ram. I was born at this property and have been given a lot of love and attention as my mother taught me to be friendly to people.

I was born at this property and have been given a lot of love and attention as my mother taught me to be friendly to people. I still come over for a pat and scratch every time I see my owners and can be easily moved between paddocks as I would follow a bucket of sheep nuts without any hesitation. I have fathered quite a few lambs over this time and majority of them were twins. I am Texel X Gotland Pelt and I've got the most amazing white wool. The Gotland Pelt girls I have been with produced black lambs, but my lambs with Texel, Finn and other white coloured girls are white.
It is time for me to now move to another family as my owners are now running out of girls they can let me run with.
Please come and meet me if you are interested, my owners' contact is 027 276 2838.

Price: $120

Demand for jobs at Christchurch's new $92 million central library has surpassed expectations after 1000 people applied for 45 positions.

Tūranga, the Christchurch Central Library, will be the largest library in the South Island and a third larger than the city's former central library, which was demolished after the February 2011 earthquake.

It's expected to open later this year, but an exact date is yet to be confirmed.

Are Christchurch residents disadvantaged by traffic from North Canterbury?

Suburban Christchurch residents say they'll be disadvantaged by a Northern Motorway traffic change that saves a few minutes' driving for North Canterbury commuters.

St Albans and Mairehau residents have joined local businesses in opposing proposed changes that would channell traffic to and from the $240 million motorway past their doors when it opens in 2020.

Locals, including Christchurch Central MP Duncan Webb, have made submissions and more than 100 others have launched a petition asking the Christchurch City Council to rethink how to link the motorway to the central city.

"Why are Christchurch residents having to be disadvantaged by traffic from North Canterbury being forced down our roads?," the petition asks.

"These are people from a different district that don't pay rates here, but the residents and business in St Albans, Mairehau and Edgeware are paying the costs socially and financially to accommodate these people so they can get to or from the city a few minutes faster."

St John's message this winter

The Team from St John New Zealand

This winter, St John urges the public to prioritise health & wellbeing. The most important thing you can do is be immunised against influenza and seek advice from a health professional if you are unwell. Each winter the surge of 111 ambulance calls continues to increase, which despite St John’s best efforts to triage and treat people in-home, places a lot of pressure on the ambulance service and the hospital emergency departments.

St John has issued five key messages to the public to help them look after themselves and each other this winter – read them here: goo.gl...
