News director Zaryd Wilson and reporter Jesse King host the show this and discuss Waverley fire chief Alan Hickford's amazing 50 years of voluntary service to the brigade.

This week Marton-based malting company Malteurop and Whanganui-based Coastal Bulk Shipping announced a long-term partnership for transporting barley between Whanganui and Timaru ports on the MV Anatoki; the Wanganui Radio Control Car Club had its first official raceday - in an art studio; there's a shortage of flu vaccines as influenza strikes Whanganui; and we talk about the guy who's been described as the luckiest man alive after escaping his burning house in Akatea St.
