The team at Rotorua Review do hope you had a great Christmas and holiday break spent relaxing with friends and family.
I certainly did - and enjoyed some wonderful time with the South Island whanau in sunny Christchurch.
It was just what the doctor ordered - time out to recharge the batteries and prepare for another year ahead.

Tobacco product prices went up 10 per cent after the latest tax hike on January 1. So how much more do smokers have to fork out now? Enough to buy a basketload of groceries, it seems.

Howdy all. Here at Wasp Wipeout we thought we'd give you some information on how to deal with the wasp that most populates urban gardens - the paper wasp.

Paper wasps can be easily identified by their long, drooping back legs and laid-back, slow style of flying.
Asian, Australian and European paper wasps have gradually made their homes around our houses and fences and over the past few years and while they are useful for some unwanted bugs like the great white cabbage butterfly, unfortunately they aren't picky and have been feasting on our monarch butterfly caterpillar and other useful native bugs as well.
At Wasp Wipeout we are working hard to help raise funds to wipe out the most invasive species of wasps - the vespula (common and German) variety which inhabit a lot of our bush areas and regularly invade picnics and barbecues. To help us fight this species you can donate here

We loved being in the Kopeo Lions and enjoyed the comradery but the cost to belong to the World Organisation was too great. Are there some people willing to form a Kawerau Community Trust to raise funds for Local Kawerau projects and support people that have been hit by a sudden disaster in their lives. My wife and I are starters. Is there an organisation that we and others can join that already exists?
