"Hi there, my name is Opal and I am special girl looking a special home. If you are looking for a goofball dog then I'm the girl for you. I can be very silly, so if you are looking for a laugh then look no further. I am looking for a home with adults only and without small animals due to my quirks and behaviours shown previously. This kind of environment will help me to thrive in training and help me to settle into my new home. I always have a pep in my step and worm my way into peoples' hearts in very little time. I look forward to continuing training with my new owners and am sure to put a smile on your face at the end of a long day. I do come with a medical waiver that my new owners would need to be made aware of. If you think I am the gal for you, contact the canine team for more information."

To help get Winter ready keep your drainage flowing properly on your property. Take some time to make sure that drains and gutters are free from debris.
Maintaining your existing drainage solutions and freeing them from any build-up of natural debris (such as grass, weeds, summer growth, fallen leaves and silt) on your property is essential during this time of the year.
If you have any questions or need help with drainage solutions, give us a call. We're a local family business and here to help.

“My hearing is seamless when I go about my days activities. I can hear my wife when we have breakfast, I can hear my grandchildren in the back of the car on the way to school and my friends when we visit our favourite café. My hearing is now effortless with my new hearing aids”
Peter has been wearing hearing aids for 5 years.
His hearing aids use Artificial Intelligence, so your hearing aid can more accurately amplify what you need to hear in each environment and not amplify what you don’t need. Because Hearing Consultants is an Independent Audiology clinic with no financial, ‘deals’ behind the scenes, we will always offer you the best hearing solution for you.
Call us today at 04 566 5145 or 0800 43 27 25, to find out about our no obligation trial of this latest hearing device or visit our website for more info

We're looking into how some common claims about NZ stack up and would be interested in your thoughts on whether New Regent Street in Christchurch deserves its title of 'NZ's most beautiful street'. Do you think it is the best-looking street in the country? Or is there another street you think is more beautiful? Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it included in an article. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

It's too early to tell whether an alert level change is needed in Wellington, according to Chris Hipkins. This comes after a positive Covid-19 case flew from Sydney to Wellington on June 19.
Four close contacts have so far been traced and others are being identified.
Timing of symptom onset indicates the traveller was infected in Australia before flying into New Zealand.
The traveller had one dose of the Astrazeneca vaccine, with the situation being described as low risk. The case was using the Covid-19 Tracer app.
Locations of interest are as follows:
- Qantas flight QF163 that arrived at 12.05am on June 19
- Rydges Hotel from 12am June 19 to 9.10am June 21
- Unichem Pharmacy on Lambton Quay from 10.38am to 11.48am June 19
- Te Papa from 3.05pm to 5.45pm on June 19
- Te Papa's Surrealist Art exhibit from 4pm to 5.45pm on June 19
- Jack Hackett's Bar from 8.45pm to 12am on June 19
Wellingtonians are encouraged to check their movements around June 19 to June 21 and to continue to check the Ministry of Health website as more locations of interest may be added.
