Taupo to retain rescue chopper

The Government announcement that the Taupō District will retain its rescue helicopter service has been heralded a community victory by Mayor David Trewavas.

The announcement will see the central North Island covered by air ambulances in Taupō, Tauranga and Hamilton, with response times estimated to be the same or faster than the current model.

Mr Trewavas says that the rescue chopper is essential given Taupō's central location and he was glad to see that common sense had prevailed.

"The fact that the chopper will be staying is great news, but it is also fantastic to see there will actually be an increased level of service under the new system. This was a real community effort, with so many people in the district getting behind the campaign to save the chopper. I'd like to thank everyone who lent a hand, from Rachel Hunter for her great video appeal, to former Prime Minister Helen Clark for her support. And of course local woman Jan-Marie Quinn for organising a march here in Taupō, and well-known local aviator John Funnell for his advocacy in Wellington. It's a great outcome, and great to know that the Greenlea team will be able to continue to provide their fantastic service."

The revised service will come into operation on November 1, 2018, and in making the announcement Health Minister Dr David Clark said this was the first part of a ten year programme that would increase crew numbers and reduce call out times.

A brand of frozen mixed berries has been recalled because of "foreign matter", namely metal in the product.

The Ministry for Primary Industries said Nelson-based FSL Foods Ltd recalled a specific batch of Fruzio brand premium mixed berries "as the product may contain foreign matter (metal)".

The affected berries are sold frozen in 1kg plastic bags and have a best before date of June 22, 2021. They're sold in New World and Pak'nSave supermarkets, as well as Gilmours stores in the North Island.

The product is not exported and the recall does not affect any other Fruzio products, MPI says.

If people have brought the berries they should check the date mark on the back of the product. Affected product should not be consumed, is the advice given on the MPI website. Read more from Stuff here.
