Fishing season set to open as women schooled up on catching fish (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Women who have been thinking about giving freshwater fishing a go are being encouraged to get out on the water when the new season opens on Thursday. Fish & Game and other angling organisations have been supporting workshops and classes aimed at making fishing more accessible to women, including Otago Fish & Game’s adult beginner fishing courses, it said in a statement.

Couple with newborn face $31,000 bill after visas expire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Dunedin immigrant couple who gave birth to a child three days after their work visas expired now face a $31,000 hospital bill. The couple, a Fiji-Indian family, have been left with a $31,815 hospital bill after their baby boy was born in Dunedin just three days after the parents’ New Zealand work visas expired.

Broad Bay resident Nadya Zviaguina said the goose has been in and around the beach for the best part of two years. It sees it as its patch and, as the sea lion found out on Thursday, the goose does not want to share. Ms Zviag
Traffic lights at new hospital site to keep cyclists safe from trucks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It should be crystal clear not to keep cycling when a big truck is rumbling into the new Dunedin hospital site. They are big and noisy and should indicate where they are going. But just to be super sure for those on two wheels and others, in case a truck is in the area and is heading for the new hospital site, some new traffic lights have been erected. The new lights were installed in Cumberland St on Thursday, sitting just in front of the entrance for trucks to drive into the site. A Health NZ
