Be aware, police have identified a new telephone scam targeting New Zealanders. If you receive an angry call from someone seeking compensation for car damages, hang up. To read more, click here.
What you need to know:
- The call will be from an international number that's then redirected through a local number.
- The aggressive scammer could be very convincing.
- Upon answering, they demand money for damages from a vehicle collision they claim you were involved in.
- Police are urging people to warn elderly relatives so they do not fall victim to the scam and lose money.
- If you receive a call of this nature, police advise you to hang up immediately.

The tracks were in great shape, and I found the climb uphill to be a bit easier than in the past, maybe because of the additional stairs that were put in. The view from the lookout over Whangarei Harbour is a nice reward for the effort, in my opinion. If you haven't been up there for a while (or at all), maybe give it a go - I think it's well worth it.

Mighty Mike to the Rescue, which go on sale this week, is the service's third children's book following the success of Juliet to the Rescue in 2016 and Lima Leaps to the Rescue last year.
The book will be launched on November 16 with two events, one at Whangarei's St Francis Xavier Primary School and the other at Morningside School to celebrate Northland Rescue Helicopter's 30 years in service and as part of its annual fundraising appeal.
All proceeds from the sale of the books go to the Northland Emergency Services Trust which operates the Northland Rescue Helicopters.
Illustrated by Auckland artist Tony McNeight, the books are an adventure series that follow the rescue service's three helicopters during daring life-saving missions around Northland.
The latest book follows thrill-seeking brother and sister duo Tia and Ollie who head off to explore the swamps and bogs at popular Kai Iwi Lakes. With their native bird friends in tow, including Kenny the Kererū and Kiri the Kiwi, they find themselves lost as darkness descends.

Hi, I saw an advertisement in a local newspaper about somebody selling tree peel. I would like some but now I cannot find it. Does anybody know which company that was? Or is there any company who can deliver peel (or bark) to our place in Glenbervie (close to Open space child care)? Thank you. … View moreHi, I saw an advertisement in a local newspaper about somebody selling tree peel. I would like some but now I cannot find it. Does anybody know which company that was?

A Northland man who helped run one of Australia’s top-producing dairy farms has his sights set on a new challenge.

Brant Julian, 24, has qualified for the Northern Regional Final of the FMG Young Farmer of the Year.
“I’m stoked. It’s a great opportunity to upskill and broaden my knowledge of the primary industries,” he said.
Brant is second-in-charge on a 500-cow dairy farm at Te Kopuru near Dargaville.
He’s one of four people to qualify for the high-profile regional final after a district contest in Ruakaka last Saturday. ( November 3)
Competitors spent the day tackling modules testing their practical and theoretical skills.
Brant is a member of Northern Wairoa Young Farmers and from 2012-2015 worked on two dairy farms in Finley, Australia.
He will be joined at the Northern Regional Final by Daniel Richards, Jack Bellamy and Brody Goodmon.
Daniel is a member of Kaipara Young Farmers and took out first place in the district contest.
“I wasn’t expecting to win,” said the 21-year-old who is managing his parents’ 300-cow dairy farm east of Wellsford.
“This will be my second regional final. I wasn’t sure what to expect the first time, but I have a lot more confidence now.”
Fellow club member Jack Bellamy, 18, is “excited” to have also qualified.
Jack and Brody
won the Northern Region Fencing Competition last month, securing them a spot in the national final in Christchurch in February.
The Northern Regional Final of the FMG Young Farmer of the Year is being held in Warkworth on March .
The final four finalists will be decided on November 17.
