Vet - Chelsea Your dog should never be tethered to the kennel with a choker chain or tight collar. It’s also essential to give them time away from the kennel including social time and mental stimulation, as too much time alone in a kennel is not good for a dog’s psychological well-being. If you’re unsure if your kennel is suitable, check with the welfare code which is easily accessible online, or pop into your vet to have a chat about the require- ments.

WHANGANUI DISTRICT HEALTH QUALITY AWARDS Award entries for 2019 are now open!
Te Tohu Rangatira | Whanganui District Health Quality Awards provide an opportunity to showcase and acknowledge health staff, services and organisational achievements.
Every day I see and hear stories from our community about successes within our health services. It is important to reflect on the great work happening across the Whanganui region and I invite you to enter or nominate an individual or team who deserves acknowledgement. Many health workers are humble and perform their vital roles without expecting recognition. These awards provide an opportunity for us to collectively celebrate the success, excellence and innovation of work being done across our community in the health and disability sector. Our 2019 awards are open to all health and disability service providers or individuals working to benefit the health and wellbeing of people in the Whanganui District Health Board region. From our primary health, community and non-government organisations to our wonderful volunteers, we look forward to celebrating your achievements as part of the wider health team. I encourage you to be bold. No matter how small the idea or achievement, please consider submitting an application across one of the 10 categories. Entries are open to both clinical and non-clinical staff. For more information about the awards and to download application resources, please go to www.wdhb.org.nz and click on the awards banner at the top of the homepage. If you’re a business wanting to show support for our district’s health professionals and providers, we have some great sponsorship opportunities available for our awards evening. I would be happy to talk with you about these personally or you can speak with one of our quality team. Further information is also available on our website www.wdhb.org.nz by clicking on the awards banner at the top of the homepage and again on the sponsorship opportunity button under the introductory message. If you have any questions about the awards, our quality team is happy to help. Call Rachel on 06 348 3201, Rebecca on 06 348 3082 or email [email protected].
I look forward to celebrating your successes with you on the night of 6 September 2019. Russell Simpson | WDHB Chief Executive

It’s time to get out and about in our beautiful town af- ter dark. Whanganui has always been a hotbed of musical talent. Right now it is as good as it’s ever been. Two great examples are Brass Whanganui being invited to play at a huge Chinese festival and Machete Clan, Drxnes and Pull Down the Sun playing sold out shows around the country. Performer Kane Strang There is a hot bed of tal- ent in our town right now. At Lucky we see this awesome talent every Thursday night when musicians from across the spectrum of musical genres gather and play. It is an organic musical ex- perience where you might see an Indie drummer, a Reggae bass man, a sonic guitarist and a jazz horn player combine while punk and rap singers play improvised vocals. Come down and have a meal and check it out. Thursday, 27 June the amazing Kane Strang will join the jam. Do not miss out at the Lucky Bar and Kitchen, 53A Wilson St Whanganui 4500.
