They are small insulated metal boxes, shape and size to fit into your hand. You light a fuel stick on one end, put it into the box, close it and slide it into a silky soft bag. The stick will glow for several hours, keeping the box toasty warm. You can leave them in your jacket pocket and put your hand in to keep it warm, or you put it into an inside pocket to warm your body. There are 120 fuel sticks.
Pick up in Glenbervie or Avenues.

There are three new partners, two new regions covered, a record number of applications, and 26 new projects funded.
The fund is a partnership between Far North District Council, Te Tai Tokerau PHO, Te Puni Kōkiri, Northland Inc, and Manaia Health PHO. Since beginning in 2015, Kai Ora has funded 56 projects.
Spokesperson Ngaire Rae said the number and quality of applications this year was impressive. "It's very exciting to see the energy and passion in the community around local food. We can't wait to see what this round of projects will achieve."
New projects include the set-up of a cooperative food mart in the Hokianga, watercress growing, creation of backyard garden boxes in 50 homes in Kawakawa, start-up of a youth-led mobile smoothie bar in Kaitaia, and school-based garden-to-table programmes. The project teams made connections with each other at recent Kai Ora workshops and many will now work together to make an even bigger impact.
Daniela Johnson, Kai Ora coordinator at Te Tai Tokerau PHO, says that the fund will run again next year. "We're keen to hear from groups interested in applying in the future or interested in contributing to current projects."
Johnson says that Kai Ora aims to fund projects that will make healthy, local, sustainable food easily available throughout Tai Tokerau. "We're here to encourage and support those who share this dream and passion," she says.

The consent has not been publically notified as the Industrial activity has been deemed as minor to the community therefore we, the public can not have our say.
As has been evident at various meetings and from feedback from numerous groups and individuals there is a lack of support for an industrial activity and refuse transfer station operating at this public recreational site.
We would prefer to see fisherman, sailors, rowers, walkers, campers and families using the recreational area not more rubbish trucks, seagulls and waste on a prime site under the magnificent Heads vista.
Please see attached a public notice (by local residents) regarding the application and concern this has not been publicly notified.
Please note that time is of the essence to be heard with your local Councillors or WDC staff.
