Bay of Plenty police are appealing for information from the public as they search for missing man Jason Butler.
Butler, 50 years old, described as Maori, of medium build and 175cm tall, was last seen in the Omaio area of Opotiki on Saturday 23 Ocotber.
At this stage police are keeping an open mind as to his whereabouts, but his disappearance has understandably caused his family a great deal of concern. At some point he is said to have entered the bush area near the Haparapara River, and there is a possibility he may have come out of the bush by now.
If you know where Jason is, or have information on his movements after 23 October, please contact your local police station immediately.
In a stunning statement, adding to an already farcical situation, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison contradicts Joe Biden on the French nuclear sub debacle.
Morrison, a former marketing guru, insists Canberra regularly kept Washington in the loop regarding the deal.
Last month Morrison sensationally snubbed a binding contract with France to build submarines for the Australian Navy, to instead sign a new deal with the UK for the supply of eight nuclear powered submarines.
The double-dealings caused a diplomatic row between France and Australia, with the French Foreign Minister at the time calling it ‘a stab in the back’.
At a press conference during the G20 Summit in Rome, Morrison said:
‘We kept the US administration up to date on the status of what the conversations and discussions had been with the French government. We worked closely with the US and the UK. We kept them up-to-date – the administration – as to where we were at in our various discussions with France.’
Morrison’s statement comes less than 24 hours after US President Joe Biden told reporters the US had no idea what Australia was doing, and was under the impression Canberra had informed France of the UK deal.
Kevin Holland, an MMA star from the USA, watched as a car was being stolen from a nearby gas station.
Holland, who’d hours earlier been involved in a controversial ‘no-contest’ fight with Kyle Daukaus, decided he would chase the thief.
He jumped in his car and managed to track down the thief in a nearby neighbourhood where he held the suspect until police arrived. Holland’s coach, Shug Dorsey, happened to live nearby and caught up with the star after a call from him. Dorsey filmed the incident.

What is this?
Rocket or satellite debris? Meteor? What do you think?
What happens when you put a round of flamethrower buckshot in your gun?
It’s inevitable that as you age, you’re going to develop wrinkles.
For some this is not an issue, and the right wrinkles can add to a person’s appearance as they get older, helping you ‘to age gracefully,’ much the same way greyed hair can give a person an air of intelligence.
For others, however, wrinkles can be a real pain! They can look unsightly, make you look older than you are, and just generally be a nuisance to manage. We’ve put together a list of the five top ways you can help combat wrinkles. It’s never a battle you can ultimately win, but by following these tips you can certainly alleviate their appearance as much as possible.
This may seem obvious, but you’d be surprised at how many of those who complain about their wrinkles don’t follow this basic rule. Your skin’s health is a natural reflection of the health of your insides, and if you are feeding yourself an unhealthy diet it’s only a matter of time before those toxins in the food make it to your skin. Conversely, you’d be surprised at how quickly you can improve the look of your skin by starting to eat healthy. And eating healthy means the basic rules of good-eating we have all known since childhood – vegetables, nuts, and fruits – especially oily fish oil with Omega3, leafy greens, avocados, almonds, walnuts and brocolli.
Smoking carries with it a high risk of many serious health complications, but in regards to wrinkles it can bring them on prematurely, because smoking deprives the body of water. Tobacco smoke also damages natural collagen and elastin in the skin. Smokers will often develop wrinkles around the eyes (‘crows feet’) and lips, because the action of taking a drag causes the tiny muscles in these areas to be strained constantly over the course of a day.
This tip is related to (1) above, but it’s so important that it needs its own paragraph. The water and fluids you drink will go directly to your skin, where it tends to remain in the layer directly beneath the surface, nourishing and moisturisning the skin cells there, which one day will themselves be on the outside of your body.
To keep your skin in top shape, both men and women should use a good anti-aging cream. Ingredients to look out for are vitamins (E, C and A) restorers (eg. Retinol) and moisturisers (hyaluronic acid). We’ve found the most highly recommended anti-wrinkle cream on Amazon, it’s the Celery Green Cream by Volition.
Sunlight is important for health, and a half day out in the sun can do wonders for your health, by producing vitamin D. Vitamin D helps your body absorb Calcium, making your bones and muscles stronger.
But when it comes to summer, kiwis tend to overdue sun time, with the holiday season and beach, many of us will spend hours under the hot summer sun. For prolonged periods in the sun, it’s especially important that you use a well-tested and produced sunscreen. We’ve checked Amazon again, this time for the most highly-rated sunscreen, and its the ‘Sun Bum’ Original Moisturising Sunscreen Spray, SPF 30 with Vitamin E. This sunscreen is also rated ‘reef’ friendly, which is an important consideration nowadays with many tourist countries banning some brands of sunscreen because their chemicals cause damage to coral reefs and poison sea life.
