Last night's Power Outage!

Jan from Masterton District

Really sad news about the crash that caused the outage! Despite that, there was a beautiful night sky to ponder with the street lighting off! That begs the question "why is the street lighting left on all day?? It's puzzled me since I moved to Masterton just over a year ago!

As a ratepayer, I would really like to know why the Masterton Council does this?? We already pay plenty in rates, and I really don't see the need for street lighting during the day! Do you? What is the point of it, if all it's doing is costing the ratepayer for a un- needed council service! I've never actually seen street lighting during the day anywhere else!
Puzzling to me, but I'd be interested to hear your views! (Incidentally, they're not back on today, but probably not been repaired yet)!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
