When Cyclone Gabrielle beat its destructive path down the North Island's east cost, the tiny coastal village of Herbertville wasn't spared. Remote and isolated anyway - east of Palmerston North, it's about an hour's drive to Dannevirke - the February 2023 tempest destroyed the road in and out and flooded the pub. The roads are pretty well repaired but the pub has remained shut - until now. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham paid it a visit.

Dannevirke High School in the lower North Island employs its own cooking staff and has its own kitchen to provide healthy and sizeable meals to its 418 students. The school has had its per-head budget for the food cut in half this year, but there are few complaints about what's offered up to students. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham paid the school a visit.

With a rich family history in dairy farming, Michael Phillips and Andrew Evans (Bubbles) join Matt and Wade to discuss the strategy behind cows, comfort and compost at Dannevirke-based dairy farming operation, Waka Dairies.  Michael and Bubbles discuss the strategic shifts made as part of Waka Dairies' succession plan, with leadership and team culture, and infrastructure improvements at the core. The team delve into the impact of composting shelters and how this infrastructure has impacted day-to-day operations, animal health, feed efficiency, and environmental footprint. With a robust system, including effluent ponds and water storage, the farm stands resilient against local climate conditions. Tune in to hear firsthand how these changes have set new benchmarks in farm productivity.

A driving instructor says one student drove 500 kilometres to sit his full licence test because of months-long wait times. Counties Driving School's Alistair McGregor says the man drove from Pukekohe to Dannevirke. The Government scrapped free driving test re-sits this year to cull long wait times. McGregor says it's taking time to see any effect. "The existing tests need to be worked through, so it's going to take a month or two - maybe a little longer - before it starts to ease."

Fresh out of high school, eighteen-year-old Quinn from Dannevirke dove eagerly into farm work. But as his dedication consumed him, Quinn found himself spiraling into a dark place, overworked and overwhelmed by feelings of being a burden on those around him. He planned to end his life and sent a goodbye text to his friends. Fortunately, Quinn's friends immediately responded to his message, showing up for him when he needed it the most. Their unwavering support made him realise he wasn't alone and that he deserved the help and care surrounding him. Quinn's life reflects the hidden struggles that many in the rural community face, especially within the farming world. In these tight-knit circles, expressing feelings often takes a backseat to the pressures of practicality. The expectation to toughen up and ‘get on with it' casts a shadow over those battling mental health challenges.  Quinn emphasises the power of community, urging others to recognise that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a courageous step towards healing.

Some owners of heritage buildings in regional centres are preparing to hand over the keys and abandon their properties because they can't afford the cost of earthquake strengthening. Under current legislation, buildings assessed as earthquake-prone are required to get seismic strengthening work done before a deadline set by council. Many buildings in regions considered high risk have as little as seven years to complete the upgrades. Kathryn speaks to Damien Spittal, the owner of an unscheduled heritage building on the main street of Dannevirke, and Scott Flutey, the Heritage Advisor for Whanganui District Council.

Just six months after he nearly died during an accident when cutting a tree, a Dannevirke man will walk more than 200 kilometres to Wellington. 

A long drop has gone on display at the Dannevirke Gallery of History. The president, Murray Holden, says the long drop is part of our New Zealand psyche - it goes a long way back and a long way down. Murray's here today to tell us the full story.

What do we do the Jesus' teachings in the Sermon on the Mount? Jesus ends his manifesto of life in the kingdom of the heavens, not with a pep talk or feel-good story, but with a warning about what happens when we don't put his teachings into practice. John Mark argues that, in the “information” age, where things go in one ear and out the other, we need to be diligent to do what Jesus taught.

After two months of using a dinghy, a husband and wife stranded by Cyclone Gabrielle can now leave home on a slightly less precarious river crossing. The storm's heavy rain swelled the Manawatū River's northern reaches and the water's power, plus a huge build-up of logs, swept away the bridge to their property. Now, Charlie and Hamish Menzies are waiting for a permanent fix. Checkpoint's Jimmy Ellingham reports.

Helicopters continue to rescue people from roofs and fly generators to farflung hills to reboot cellphone towers.

As flood waters rose throughout Hawkes Bay yesterday the call went out for anyone with a jet boat to get in the water to help rescue people and stock. Andrew Hardie is a dairy farmer from Dannevirke and a member of Fonterra's co-op Council who sprung into action to rescue cattle and sheep. He spoke to reporter Sally Wenley about mustering via boat and issues for tankers trying to pick up milk.

It was a theft which rocked the small town of Dannevirke. A bird, and not just any bird, but a rare huia. It was unique. Part of a pair of birds shot in the late 19th century, preserved, and given as a wedding present, and passed down through the generations. In 1990, the pair were given to the Gallery of History in the Tararua District town where they could be kept in a glass-fronted case so visitors could view them. The unique piece of New Zealand's history became a major attraction to the museum. Huia feathers are known as the “world's most expensive feathers” where one single feather was once auctioned off for $8000. The birds, endemic to the North Island, are thought to be extinct, but there may have been sightings as late as the 1990s. The volunteers at the Gallery of History will never forget what happened that day in July 2020. The pair had already been targeted once, with someone making off with tail feathers from the male in 2012. In July 2020, two visitors came in and left a short time later. Despite there being volunteers in the building, it was some time before it was discovered that the female huia was gone. Only the male was left in the display case following the theft of the female. Photo / Leanne Warr They were devastated by the theft. There were lessons learned that day and the museum has upgraded its CCTV since then. Almost a year later, a man was jailed for that theft, but the whereabouts of the fragile bird remained unknown and a reward was offered for her return until May 2022, when police were searching a Paraparaumu house. The bird, more than a little worse for wear, would be taken to Te Papa, where they would do their best to restore her. On February 3, she finally came home. At Makirikiri Marae where the huia was welcomed home to Dannevirke with a powhiri. Photo / Leanne Warr It took the mahi and the cooperation of three iwi – Ngati Raukawa, Ngati Toa and Te Atiawa - as well as police and Te Papa museum, to bring her back and return her safely in the hands of first Rangitane o Tamaki nui-a-rua, and then to be with her mate at the Gallery of History. Kaumātua Manahi Paewai told those assembled at the museum to witness the homecoming that he had given each of the bird's names to reflect all that had happened. The female's name would be something to ensure that the incident would not be forgotten. She was to be named Te Kurapae – a treasure that was lost and found by accident, or perhaps luck. The male was given the name Te Kahu Makoakoa – a cloak of happiness. Happiness that he was reunited with Te Kurapae. Matua Manahi said the community had been saddened by the loss but it “is happy now”. Andre Baker, chairman of Atiawa ki Whakarongotai (Kāpiti), said those who had done their part on the day of the return should reflect on the journey. Kaliah Rose Tamihana, 9, holds the precious taonga as the group is called on to Makirikiri Marae. Photo / Leanne Warr The confederation of iwi had started from Waikanae, journeying up the North Island to Makirikiri Marae in Dannevirke earlier that day. Tiaki Tamihana of Ngāti Huia ki Poroutawhao said the huia had “united us as one”. Gallery of History vice president Murray Holden said he was glad to have the huia back and thanked all of those who had made it happen. Tararua District Mayor Tracey Collis said it was a significant day to have the huia returned. She said there had been devastation within the community that someone could commit such an act. “There was a lot of angst and unrest.” Like many in the community, she was delighted when she heard that the bird had been found. “I never gave up hope.” For now, Te Kurapae will be temporarily stored as the damage caused in the incident means she could not stand with her mate. She remains very fragile and is unable to be handled. It was hoped that Weta Workshop would be able to recreate her missing leg, although that wouldn't be able to be done for some time. - Leanne WarrSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's our summer game, but for years few women were playing cricket. In recent summers though that's been changing and new teams are taking the field. Some women are playing for the first time, while others are on the comeback after years away. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham caught up with the Dannevirke women's team.

It's a long way from Dannevirke to Melbourne, but Steve Prenter has made the journey in order to watch his horse, Smokin' Romans, compete in the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday afternoon. The horse, one of six New Zealand chances at Flemington, will be ridden by Jamie Kah and is the favourite of the Kiwi hopes. The six year old gelding has already had some success over in Australia, winning the $1 million Turnbull Stakes last month. Prenter will be hoping for an even bigger success. He spoke to Māni Dunlop.

Towns trying to save their medical services can take a boost, and a warning, from Dannevirke. Locals have fought hard to keep radiology services free of charge in the town, saving patients long drives to Palmerston North, or Hastings. But the free service might not last much longer. Phil Pennington with this report.

The Shires Fruit and Vege Market on Dannevirke's high street is celebrating one hundred years in business. To tell us more about the milestone and the shop's longevity, owner, Suresh Patel talks to Jesse.

Forget about Paris, it's Dannevirke's turn to host the CANS film festival. It's not the French film festival with the A-Listers and red carpets, Dannevirke's version is all about actual tin cans. The price of admission is cans of food, which will all be donated to local food banks. It's a concept thats been done before in various places, and with the cost of living on the rise, the Regent Theatre in Dannevirke thought it was time to get on board. First Up's Leonard Powell has the story.

De fleste forbinder nok Dannevirke med et fejlslagent forsøg på at forsvare Danmark under krigen i 1864. Men det enorme forsvarsværk har en historie, der går langt længere tilbage. Så langt tilbage, at vi ikke engang ved, hvem der dog formåede at organisere det kæmpe projekt at bygge danmarkshistoriens største bygningsværk.Vi kigger nærmere på, hvorfor mon denne kæmpe vold blev lavet. Hvem skulle den forsvare os imod? Hvordan blev den bygget? Spørgsmålene er mange, og kilderne er få, hvilket tilsammen bidrager til det, der nærmest er et mytisk, men særdeles vigtig symbol i dansk historie.

The High Street Bistro in Dannevirke has been given four nominations in the upcoming Manawatū Hospitality Awards. Bistro owner Brock Sprague talks to Charlotte about what makes their family run restaurant stand out.

An historic cinema in Dannevirke is about to re-open after nearly a decade of closed curtains. MovieFest Charitable Trust trustee Graeme Moffatt joins Jesse to talk about the restoration project.

More than a century after the huia was hunted to extinction, Dannevirke museum is hunting for the return of its own prized specimen of the bird. A man convicted of the theft of the huia said in a restorative justice session it was stolen to pay a drug debt, but has so far refused to give up the bird's location. Dannevirke Gallery of History vice-president Murray Holden strongly suspects the huia, thought to be worth around $15,000, was stolen to order. He spoke to Corin Dann.

It's uncertain times, right? And certainly at the moment it feels like we are all faced with multiple challenges. Climate change and extreme weather events seem to be playing a major part in that uncertainty. What can we, as trail runners who engage with the outdoors so regularly, do about this? Eugene and Matt speak to Maz Krogh, runner, physiotherapist, ski instructor, and lead advocate for Protect Our Winters Aotearoa. Protect Our Winters Aotearoa connects passionate outdoor enthusiasts and everyone who loves and needs winter to generate positive climate outcomes. PoW focuses on educational initiatives and community-based empowerment to preserve New Zealand's alpine playground. This conversation covers the difference between climate change and weather, how we as trail runners can engage in positive environmental outcomes, how to engage with other people about climate effectively (and whilst being cool about it). We also talk Maz's first summer in nine years, how difficult ski mountaineering is, the joy of running in the mountains, and how Maz went from growing up on a dairy farm in Dannevirke to the slopes of Whistler. As usual, we've a brilliant Greatest Run Ever, news of a massive FKT attempt on the Colorado trail and a celebration of kupu (words) that relate to trail running as it's Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.

The three teenagers who died in a horrific road crash in Hawke's Bay have been named by the police. The three young women were in a car travelling on State Highway 2, near the small township of Takapau, when it collided with a truck on Tuesday afternoon. They were on their way to work when the crash happened. One of the women was a current pupil at Dannevirke High School, while the other two had recently left the school. Dannevirke High School principal Di Carter says the school is devastated, she speaks to Susie Ferguson.

The small community of Dannevirke is reeling after a crash yesterday that killed three young women who lived in the town. The crash happened near the small township of Takapau in Central Hawke's Bay while the trio were on their way to work. RNZ Hawke's Bay reporter Tom Kitchin has the story.

John Hayes speaks with Deputy Chair of the Otaki Community Board, Marilyn Stevens about work with Otaki Health and Wellbeing, the Super Liquor Chain being granted an Off-license, the Community Network, housing, and Rotary, with Marilyn becoming the District Governor in 2022/23, looking after Taranaki across to Dannevirke, and down to Wellington. Also her view of The Cannabis referendum and alcohol.

A driving instructor in Wairoa has slammed the inconsistency of taking practical licence tests away from her town but keeping it in other, comparable centres. Lou Maultstaid has seen countless youngsters in Northern Hawke's Bay choosing to drive without a full licence and says that for many, it can be the first step onto a "mousewheel" of crime and benefits. She can't understand why Waka Kotahi - the NZ Transport Agency - took examinations from Wairoa based on the lack of challenging road conditions, yet retains testing in towns such as Feilding and Dannevirke. Maultstaid speaks to Corin Dann.

Award-winning author Alison Jones speaks with Kathryn Ryan about her new book This Pākehā Life - an Unsettled Memoir. It's an insight into New Zealand's social history and Māori-Pākehā relationships, and what she describes as "the ambivalence we Pākehā often experience in our relationships with Māori." An invitation for Pākehā to look at ideas about identity and belonging, it's also Alison's own story, the daughter of working-class British migrants growing up in Dannevirke. Today Alison is Professor in the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Auckland in the school of Māori and Indigenous Education, Te Puna Wananga.
