Plumbers, drain layers and gas fitters have expressed disappointment with the training their apprentices are getting from Te Pūkenga. Reports have surfaced of poor training facilities, students' work getting lost, and apprentices taking longer than expected to finish their programs as they wait for block courses to open up. Dave Strong from Morrinsville Plumbing and Gas says one of his apprentices will have to wait an extra 8 months to finish their program, because key block courses weren't available. "If you don't make some available, then it's smoke and mirrors. If you don't put courses on because you can't run them, then you don't have to cancel them."

More than 11,000 people reported feeling the earthquake that hit just after 2am on Friday. The magnitude 4.8 quake was centred 5-kilometres south of Te Aroha, at a depth of 6-kilometres.

A series of weaker aftershocks began to strike 40 minutes later, although there are no immediate reports of damage as of yet. It's not the first quake to hit Te Aroha this year - a 5.1 quake rattled the town on January 4. Te Kuiti resident Zane Burdett and Kees Meinderts from Motumaoho, just south of Morrinsville, spoke to Corin Dann.

Featuring 11 tracks and 7 guest vocalists from the USA, Argentina, Hungary, and France; Shadow Theory clocks in at 49 Minutes."These songs were never meant to be released. To me, this was a therapeutic exercise to express how I was feeling in a very shaky and uncertain period of my life. Unknowingly these songs came from that therapeutic exercise as a blessing and have acted as a vehicle to reconnect with life, faith, family, and the thing I care about the most that I lost sight of during the pandemic and the madness that came with it. I hope this album will connect with you and help you on your own paths too, just like they did for me".- Deadbotz KidShadow Theory will be available on CD, Vinyl, and Digital Streaming outlets on February 18th, 2023.

A Toyota Hiace mini-van carrying nine family members and travelling to Picton was ripped apart after colliding head-on with a refrigerated truck, leaving seven people dead.The family was returning home to the North Island after attending a loved one's funeral in Dunedin.It is understood that they belong to a large extended family, with many last night yet to be informed of the tragedy.The crash, one of the worst road accidents in recent New Zealand history, has devastated first responders and local residents, some of whom heard the sickening impact from their homes.Seven people, including an infant, were killed "in the blink of an eye" when their silver mini-van appears to have crossed the centreline on State Highway 1 south of Picton about 7.30am and collided with the truck.Shaken locals reported hearing loud bangs and emergency services were met with what they described as "absolute carnage".The huge collision tore the van open and left the mangled vehicle completely destroyed.Specialist police investigators, including staff from Marlborough Disaster Victim Identification, were picking over the wreckage yesterday, trying to piece together the deadliest crash on New Zealand roads since April 2019, when eight people died in a horrific head-on collision near Taupō.The worst accident prior to that was in 2005 when nine people died after their tourist bus collided with a logging truck near Morrinsville. Speaking at a press conference yesterday afternoon, Marlborough area commander Inspector Simon Feltham and Tasman district commander Inspector Paul Borrell said yesterday's crash was "a horrific thing to have to deal with"."[It's] a reminder for every single one of us, in the blink of an eye seven lives are gone," said Borrell.The road — the main artery between Blenheim and the ferry port of Picton at the top of the South Island — remained closed throughout the day, disrupting Cook Strait ferries and backing up dozens of long-haul trucks. The huge collision tore the van open and left the mangled vehicle completely destroyed. Photo / George HeardTwo people from the van were flown to Wellington Hospital with serious injuries, while the truck driver had minor injuries.A St John ambulance official who was on the scene praised bystanders who quickly stepped in to offer first aid before first responders arrived."We had some people with medical training who did a really good job in trying circumstances," Murray Neal, who serves as a territory manager for St John Ambulance, told the Herald.He said that because of their medical training they were able to continue helping even after paramedics arrived at the scene.In a statement last night, a spokesman for Big Chill Distribution, whose truck was involved in the collision, said: "We have been devastated to hear of the accident and our condolences go out to the families of those affected."We are and will continue to work with our contractors and the police to assist while they carry out the investigation. Our immediate focus at this stage is providing assistance and ongoing support to the Big Chill driver who has now been released from hospital."Late yesterday, police officers escorted a Herald photographer and journalist close to the crash scene to highlight the devastating aftermath.While bodies were removed from the scene into hearses about 5pm, debris from the massive impact was still strewn across the highway. Hundreds of pieces of metal, plastic, glass, rubber and broken electrics littered the road.There were also personal items like cans of energy drink, a single toilet roll and blue face mask.The van was a twisted, mangled mess on the side of the road.The Big Chill truck, with a badly-damaged front end, sat around 50m up the road, and was being winched out of the ditch as darkness fell. Two people from the van were flown to Wellington Hospital...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
