Want a Slice of Convenience?

Mainland NZ

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Head to mainland.co.nz for some quick and easy cheesy ideas.

Hereford-dairy cross heifers

Ashley from Rural West Whangarei

I have 5 Hereford-dairy cross heifers that are about 8-9 months old for sale. A farmer friend estimated them around 200kg, but I would not know.

They are Polled … View moreI have 5 Hereford-dairy cross heifers that are about 8-9 months old for sale. A farmer friend estimated them around 200kg, but I would not know. They have been raised on a lifestyle block so are friendly, but not tame. They will follow me when I call them to change paddocks. They are Polled Hereford, so no horns.


I would like to sell 2 before the winter, but would consider selling 3. My farmer friend said they should be worth around $700.


I do not have a loading ramp, but can put them in the calf shed and we can load up a ramp on a trailer from there.


Location is near Maungatapere.

Technology for entertaining disabled people

2019 in Northland should be a better year for our disabled, just thinking back to the end of 2018 and the International Day of Persons with Disabilities event at the canopy bridge in Whangarei

I know yes for the first hour when the VIPs were there, there was some excitement, the wheelchair races did not last long the track quickly abandoned

The music was too loud, what about those that have voice or hearing disabilities how are they going to communicate with loud music. We want music for sure but they need to take breaks and turn it down

Boring table after table of brochures, little pockets of good things happening here and there but mostly brochures. It is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

I think we need a rethink here we need others to run the show and inject some excitement into it make it a celebration

More effort needs to go into thinking about how we can cater for disabled people using technology, yes I know there were new wheelchairs to see.

But I could see some disabled having a ball on a space invader machine from the 80s which used joysticks.

What about our local creators such as CTN, what can be remotely controlled by a joystick and entertain people with different disabilities can a wheelchair be controlled remotely, what about visual arts or virtual reality a disabled person could feel like they are in another world,

Really let us make it something more than a place to get brochures about disability.

I certainly want to be involved in organising this in 2019.

The brainstorming should start now, our day is only 10 months away
