Northland is now in drought conditions but the Ministry for Primary Industries will not declare the drought a medium-scale event unless the community cannot cope with the conditions. What do you think, is Northland coping okay? Is there a need to declare a medium-scale drought event?
Has anyone had a dorper sheep (black face, sheds) turn up near you unexpectedly. We have one missing from Waikaraka, Whangarei, as of yesterday. She was on the property as of midday Thursday. She is a pet. I can be contacted on 021 138 7428.
A spate of fires since New Year's Day has prompted fire fighters to consider a total fire ban from next week. They say a lack of rain and drying winds has dried up the ground. What is it like where you are? Are you hanging out for rain?

ArtBeat is a free, fun, interactive event with seven different zones to entertain every member of the family, from the curious toddler, gamer teen, shopaholic parents and music lovers alike.
Creative Northland is excited to once again bring together local organisations and community members to participate in this creative, colourful, summer event.
A highlight of the event is Resene’s Interactive Zone, the hub of all things creative! Kids and parents can try out over ten free hands-on art activities which will keep them entertained for hours, such as painting with Resene paints, spin art, giant bubbles, harakeke, carving and more.
Whether you already know and love ArtBeat, or want a fun free family day in great surroundings of beautiful Cafler Park, then roll on up - you won't be disappointed.
Many of us grew up flocking to Glassons, Hallenstein's, Cotton On and Just Jeans for our hardy perennials - jeans, t-shirts, summer dresses - and some of us still do.

But we're increasingly becoming aware that buying a $20 t-shirt that won't last the distance isn't that great for the environment.
While some of us are pledging to only buy second hand or to invest in statement pieces - more expensive items that will last a long time- not all of us have that luxury.
We're wanting to speak to someone who isn't giving up their fast fashion any time soon, whether it's for economic or style reasons, personal choice or indifference to the environment. Maybe you're a student who likes the choice chain store fashion brings, or perhaps you're a parent whose children are growing too fast to risk splashing out on expensive clothing.

The boats traveled between the pod - made up of four orca, including a calf - at speed, following them, and at several points going over the top of one.
It is a breach under the New Zealand Marine Mammal Regulations to harass orca whales by obstructing the path of the pod or individual and to go within 50 metres of them at a speed of more than five knots.
Anyone with information should phone 0800 DOC HOT (362 468).
