Poll: Do what do you think of a school for hunting dogs?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from

Hi neighbours,
Hunting dogs are going back to school in Opotiki and their higher qualifications are helping save Kiwi and dollars for their owners.
Opotiki District Council passed a resolution in April to allow hunting dogs who undertake "avian aversion training" classes to be classified as working dogs which reduces the cost of registering the animal from $110 to $40 a year.

So we want to know, do you think a school for hunting dogs is a good idea to help save kiwis and get more dogs registered?

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Kiri Te Kanawa Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
