If you have pile, big or small, a few or lots, of volcanic rocks that you want gone, please contact me. If I can lift them or roll them then I can deal with them. Ideally I need to get my 2wd ute as close as possible. If you think your rocks are worth something, I am happy to negotiate.

A lack of specialists and facilities is being blamed on the long waiting time for bowel cancer tests in Northland. Is this something that's affected you or your family? To read more, click here.
Currently, the waiting time for a colonoscopy at the hospital falls below national standards. However a second gastroenterologist has recently been employed at Whangarei Hospital to help pick up the waiting time rate.
What are your thoughts on this? Have you had issues with long wait times? What changes or improvements would you like to see in your community? Let us know in the replies!

The BNZ Community Wall was part of the Project Promise fundraising programme that was managed on behalf of Northland DHB by Northland Foundation.
Project Promise galvanised Northland to raise $3m in three years to build the centre. More than 400 bricks were sold during the campaign and people continue to support the ongoing work of the centre by buying a ‘brick’.
“The gift of a brick is greatly valued by our team so we decided to freshen up the wall to enhance the visual reminder of the people who support our work,” explains Dee Telfer, clinical nurse manager.
Choosing the right colour was important and after lots of consultation the team settled on Dulux Lyall Bay.
“We wanted to choose a colour that tied in our service with our natural environment, reflecting Northland’s association with the sea, and also a colour that was relaxing and settling for patients who may be feeling unwell from their cancer or treatments,” offered oncologist Dr Vince Newton.
Now the first stage is finished the team are deciding on a scenic photograph to place along the top part of the wall and will also be installing a welcome sign above reception.
“We are really grateful for the generosity from Dulux NZ through Mana Mackie and Glenn Baker and the team from Programmed Property Services who all put up their hands to volunteer. The paint job is fantastic.”
Bricks are still available for purchase for $1,000 to support the ongoing work. Every brick has a message on it. You can choose your own message (up to 40 characters) so that ‘your’ brick is special and personalised.
If you would like to buy a brick please go to the Northland Foundation website northlandfoundation.org.nz... or call 021 558 224 or 0204 139 8518

Last year saw a national shortage of Swan plants, the main diet of Monarch caterpillars, causing a large number of the population to be wiped out.
Yates is getting behind the drive to avert a similar crisis this year by giving away various free butterfly friendly seeds including Yates new Butterfly Field Mix seeds between 1st and 14th October. Just register here during this time to receive your packet of seeds.
A national planting day will be held on 20th October. Plant a Swan plant or other butterfly friendly plants in your garden, in your neighbour’s garden, at school, in your local community garden – and let’s help Monarch butterflies flourish.
National Gardening Week aims to foster a love of gardening with a focus on growing not only plants but friendships, good health, strong communities and closer connections with nature.
