Kukis end the campaign on a high
Tuesday 13 September 2016 | Published in Football
THEIR U20 Championship campaign may have been over after match day two of the OFC tournament in Vanuatu, however, for the Cook Islands there was plenty to celebrate.

Collar says it all...
Tuesday 13 September 2016 | Published in Smoke Signals
SOMEONE needs to tell tourists that if a dog is wearing a collar, but is following you along a road or a beach to your resort, it is hanging around you because you’ve given it food. Chances are that when you drop them off at SPCA or Esther Honey as a “stray”, the kind people there are going to tell you that a universal sign of pet ownership is — you guessed it — a collar.
