Oyster season takes off

Georgia Weaver Reporter from Southland Times

A Southland business has had a queue of up to 70 hungry customers waiting in line to get their hands on this season's Bluff oysters.

Prices vary throughout the country, including $65 for a dozen raw oysters on Waiheke Island. Do you think that's pushing it a bit?

Hi, I have been looking at various dog tracking devices and they seem to fall into 2 distinct categories - the inexpensive device that attaches to your dogs collar and the very expensive ones that hunters use.

I think the difference is that the cheap ones use a sim card and utilises the mobile phone systems and the expensive ones utilise padding satellites.

The problem is I can't get a straight answer about the effectiveness in rural areas of the cheap ones and alsoif I would have to pay a monthly charge for the use of a sim card.

I live in an area that is poorly served by Vodaphone and not at all by anyone else.

Has anyone had any experience using the cheaper tracking devises - are they worth it?

In 2017, free HPV immunisations were extended to boys for the first time, with about two thirds of parents choosing to immunise their children through their school immunisation programme.

HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop. The viruses are mostly transmitted in adolescence but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they’re young.

Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV in their lifetime. Immunisation can significantly reduce HPV-related harm. Protecting all children before they’re exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.

Free HPV immunisation at school or from your GP. For more info visit: www.health.govt.nz/hpv
