Paihia School called police after a boy shot a toy plastic gun on the playground. The boy's mother says the treatment was over the top but the ministry says it was correct. What do you think?
Rodents can cause considerable damage to homes and risk to our health. It makes sense to keep them out of your home or workplace.

Proof your building - Rats & Mice can fit through small gaps. Check around your building for gaps particularly around pipe-work. Seal any gaps & attach draft excluders to doors. Check for overhanging foliage - Rats often climb trees & drop down onto the roof & enter under the edge of the roof.
Baits & Traps – Bait is the most effective & efficient way to deal with infestations. Make sure you use secure bait stations to keep pets and children safe. Traps are also useful, although rats and mice can become trap shy. They are safe and effective when used in conjunction with baits. Bait traps with peanut butter or chocolate. Place the traps against walls and behind furniture where rodents travel.

Hello, I’m Jenny Morgan from 'Jenny Morgan Professional Dog Grooming'.
In my line of work I come across the most wonderful dogs. A high percentage of them have experienced an awful start to life and some have ended up in the pound through no fault of their own, just like 'Manu' here in the photo. Thank goodness he has now been re-homed into a wonderful loving family. And it’s not just dogs; all kinds of animals are suffering abuse and neglect.
This is why I have decided to raise money for the BOI Animal Rescue - Never Ending Story. This wonderful rescue organisation has worked tirelessly for over 12 years for animals in need, and I want to help them continue!
On Saturday 4th July, between 12 and 1pm, I will have ALL MY HAIR SHAVED OFF for Bay of Islands Animal Rescue – Never Ending Story. Please come along to Highway Vets (next door to Redwoods Garden Centre, 1526 Springbank Road, SH10, Kerikeri) to watch, and show your support by donating to this great cause! I looking forward to seeing you there. (Oh, by the way, my hair will be donated to The KidsCan Charitable Trust.)
If you can’t make it, please look out for my Give A Little Page (coming soon), or call or email me for information on how to donate.

Why are there so many RATS & MICE at the moment?
The gestation period for rats is only 3 weeks & they reach sexual maturity in 5 weeks. They can produce litters of 7–14 babies.

The gestation period for rats is only 3 weeks & they reach sexual maturity in 5 weeks. They can produce litters of 7–14 babies.
During Covid-19 Lock-Down rodent numbers increased dramatically as many rodent control programmes were put on hold, allowing for a complete uninterrupted breeding cycle during mild & dry autumn conditions.
It is important to keep bait stations fully supplied with bait - servicing during the colder weather being carried out at least monthly.

We're doing a story on how affordable travel within NZ is. For those of you who have travelled within the country post-lockdown, we'd like to hear whether you've been able to find suitable flights, accommodation and activities within your budget.

Upcycling is the term used for taking a preloved item and transforming it - whether it's for a new purpose altogether, or just to give it an ‘extreme makeover'. Consider using the school holidays to get Upcycling with the smaller members of your household - or use the next rainy day to drag out the paint and your creativity!
In the meantime, check out some of the creative cookies from last year.
