Poll: Junk Mail

Nick from Mount Eden

Hi All, I've been thinking about other ways to reduce our carbon footprint and targeting junk-mail might be an option. If we think about the amount of ink and paper that is disposed of everyday due to junk mail it seems like a waste of electricity and material.

If we think about the amount of ink and paper that is disposed of everyday due to junk mail it seems like a waste of electricity and material. Maybe it's time we restrict junk mail delivery to those that actually want it and those that do not?

**DO YOU NEED SOMEONE TO DO YOUR LAWNS AND GARDEN MAINTAINANCE?**

Hello everyone,

I've just finished university and am looking for freelance work over the summer mowing lawns, trimming hedges, looking after peoples gardens, that sort of work. I'm not a qualified landscaper but I have a lot of experience.

I have a lot of free time so am quick to get things done and I have competitive rates.

Based in Balmoral but can work anywhere in central Auckland

Cheers - Seamus

Fourteen Auckland mountains have been closed to the public to ward off blazes fuelled by fireworks.

The maunga (mountains) administered by the Tupuna Maunga Authority are closed to the public this week from 7.30 pm until November 8.

The decision to ban evening access follows fires at Mt Wellington and Mt Eden on Guy Fawkes night last year.

Fireworks sparked a blaze which tore through the crater of Mangere Mountain in December last year and another fire on Mt Wellington in April.

Last month another blaze caused by a group of youths playing with fireworks ripped through the lower slopes of Mt Wellington.

The following mountains will be closed: Wiri, One Tree Hill, Mount Wellington, Mount Eden, North Head, Mount Albert, Mount Hobson, Pigeon Mountain, Mount Richmond, Mount Roskill, Mount St John, Mount Victoria, Mangere Mountain, Big King.

Do you agree with the closures?

Are you planning to celebrate Guy Fawkes tomorrow night?

Anne Hastie joined the Amitabha Hospice team as a volunteer nearly 6 years ago. After retiring she decided that she would spend some of her spare time volunteering when she saw the Amitabha Hospice advertisement needing volunteers to help people in their community.

Having completed the training course, attending weekly evening classes for 6 weeks, Anne now visits two Amitabha Hospice patients every week, spending a few hours chatting and helping them in many ways. She considers them both friends rather than her patients and says the ‘best aspect of volunteering is the friendship that is established - always people.’

A series of accusatory hand-written notes have been delivered to residents of Harbourside Drive following Sunday’s vandalism of several trees.

Locals are feeling “absolutely disgusted” at the suggestion that they are behind the incident, which involved a vandal felling eight street pōhutukawa trees with a chainsaw.

Paul and Sue Wilson, who have lived on the road for over 10 years, arrived home on Monday from a trip to Waiheke Island to find a line of felled trees and a curt hand-written note in their letterbox.
