Archer the huntaway-cross dog was missing in Bland Bay, Whagaruru North for six days before his dramatic and heroic rescue.
The 12-year-old pooch had been missing in dense bushland at Bland Bay, Whangaruru North for six days after falling off a cliff. But all it took was one faint, exhausted bark and the week-long search mission turned into a rescue on Thursday.
The Gray family's lifelong friend and neighbour didn't give up hope, scaling the steep, dangerous part of the cliff in search of Archer. A kayaker and a boat then went to retrieve the injured pup from the bottom of the cliff.
He's now home safe and sound, albeit a little injured after trying to climb up the rock.

My favourite clients in 2018 were families who needed their elders' stories taped, typed and turned it into a book or website so the stories are never lost. I help with recording oral interviews so our elders voices and tales can be shared with the rest of the family.
Please sing out if you'd like some help writing your whanau stories, whether you need a quick hour of assistance or a big piece of ghostwriting taken care of.

The New Zealand King Salmon Co. Ltd has recalled a specific batch of its Southern Ocean brand New Zealand King Salmon Smoked Pieces and Regal Marlborough King Salmon brand Cold Smoked Salmon which may contain Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.
The affected batch is coded with M362D or M362N. The recall did not apply to any other Regal Marlborough or Southern Ocean brand products.
Consumers are being asked to check batch numbers and not consume the affected salmon, which was sold 200g and 500g vacuum packs.
The recall was a precautionary measure after test results for a single sample in the affected batch suggested it contained listeria. Read more here.

This is a request from DPA Northland for WDC to please consider
Accessibility for battery-powered mobility devises in Whangarei. The issue of having powerpoints located around the city and available for the purpose of charging mobility scooters or electric wheelchairs or mobility equipment, an example would be the Hatea Loop which is lighted so power is available. Public power points could be installed at these locations
1# Canopy Bridge
2# Parking Te Matau A Pohe
3# Pohe Island BMX track opposite Weka and Wave
4# Weka and Wave
5# Whangarei Dog Park
6# Onerahi end of Hatea Loop walkway
These would have to be labelled with a recognisable wheelchair only symbol and clear rules.
We would like Whangarei to be an example of accessibility in a New Zealand city. I suspect the cost-benefit ratio of such an idea would be huge, the worry some disabled go through thinking will the battery get them home. I have twice come across wheelchair users on the Hatea loop that has run out of battery, Ideally, these powerpoints would be installed across the city. The Hatea loop is very popular for mobility devise users, just five powerpoints would cover this large area. The cost for WDC installing these would be minimal the benefits would be beneficial to many people, I believe WDC would quickly find these popular.

Does anyone know of anybody that offers sewing machine lessons for beginners? Our 10 year old Granddaughter has a brand new machine and is itching to go! She lives in Onerahi, but someone local would be great too. Thank You.

Hi. These hens are in lay, they free range but they have no respect for our yard fence. One or two keep finding a way to get in and pooh by the house- so that's it! Out they go @ $5 each.
