Resource Consent For Landfill In Dome Valley

Noticed on page 13 of Rodney Times March 26th issue, that the Council are calling for submissions to obtain resource consent for this controversial landfill.

Submissions opened March 25th and close May 26th. Am I being paranoid about the timing of this when we are in lock down and the Council is closed. Surely this should have been put off until we are out of this crisis. What do others think? How many people know about it?

With everyone staying home, it’s now more important than ever for everyone to be fire-safe. People can find information on our website - fireandemergency.nz...

We’re heading into winter, and with households self-isolating together, there’ll be more cooking at home, and more use of open fires, heaters, and dryers - all things which can increase fire risk.

New Zealanders can be confident that Fire and Emergency is well-prepared and ready to respond to emergencies as usual during the nationwide self- isolation period.

Please call 111 if you have a fire, we will ask you whether anyone at the address is self-isolating or has a confirmed case of COVID-19. Where this is the case, we already have necessary measures in place to ensure everyone’s safety including protective clothing, gloves, masks, safety glasses and mask.

Boost your immunity with NuiBay sheep milk powder

Did you know that milk from sheep has more nutritional value than cow milk and goat milk? Sheep milk has been a staple in diets for centuries. In the past, sheep milk was consumed mostly by the wealthy, elite casts in Europe, and was commonly known as “God’s Breakfast”.

Gentle to digest and endowed with a great taste profile, sheep milk has double the protein and much more of the right kinds of fats, vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, while being lower in sodium.

If you are a health-conscious consumer looking for a natural dietary supplement, we highly recommend NuiBay sheep milk powder. Produced right here in New Zealand, it contains selenium which is essential nutrition for immunity. Sheep milk also contains all 10 essential amino acids – most of which the body cannot produce itself – making it a complete protein source.

● Ethical farming: Their sheep are free farmed on a single 342-hectare farm near Lake Taupo. The company only sources milk from New Zealand’s best sheep farmers.
● Pasture selection: NuiBay’s pastures are carefully chosen and cultivated to be naturally rich in red clover, essential for sheep to produce high protein milk.
● Effective collaboration: NuiBay works with farmers who are committed to their ethical values and the company uses the latest technology.
● Transparent supply chain: The whole supply chain, from grass-to-glass, is readily accessible and visible for all to see.

At NuiBay, they believe that a business is nothing if it does not give back to the community. This year Nuibay is the main official dairy product and one of the sponsors of Round The Bays 2020.

Hi neighbours. Remember police Sergeant Guy Baldwin, who rose to fame in 2009 for his expression "always blow on the pie"?
Well he's back, this time with a message for Kiwis: Stay home and help break the chain of coronavirus.

If you are one of those and interested in starting something new have you considered an online business?
You don't need stock and you don't need a capital outlay. All you need is an Internet connection, a computer and a willingness to learn and apply what you learn.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a get rich quick scheme - it is a sustainable business that needs application.
Free to look for as long as you want.

WHEN THIS LOCK DOWN IS ALL OVER...
The first 5 people who will comment/reply on this post receives from me during the course of 2020 a surprise! Either treating you a lunch, some yummy treats, a movie, a card, a book—it will be something that you will hopefully appreciate & enjoy. The only condition is you MUST do the same by posting this on your Neighbourly page and FOLLOW THROUGH with a random act of kindness to five other people. And don't hesitate to comment because you're afraid of treating someone to something nice - it doesn't have to be something big and expensive. Just thoughtful, lift each other up!

Let's see who my 5 are! 🙂
