Whangaparāoa dad thought he had a parasite, but it was cancer

Brittany Keogh Reporter from Rodney Times

Hi neighbours, When Whangaparāoa man Darrell Poole first noticed gurgling sounds and cramping coming from his intestine, he thought he had a parasite.
But, just days before Christmas 2019, a colonoscopy revealed a much more sinister reason for the symptoms – aggressive colon cancer.
The dad of two has been told he has no further treatment options in NZ and is fundraising to get to the US to participate in a drug trial that will cost between $200,000 and $1 million. Read more about his story by clinking the below link.

Dogs on beaches

Steve from Orewa

Amazing how many people dont follow Akl Council bylaw about dogs on beaches, in summer, not allowed on beaches between 10am and 5pm.
Also people allowing their dogs on kids playgrounds.
Surely anyone who owns dogs could be expected to have an understanding of the rules.. and follow them.
Would also be good if dog owners picked up their dog crap off Orewa Beach

Do you still use any old-school technology (like landlines or VHS tapes) at home?
