Police mirror PM's praise for Ōtāhuhu station cleaner Rose

Caroline Williams Reporter from Manukau Courier

Hi neighbours. It's said that tough times bring out the best in humanity, and that is certainly the case when it comes to our essential workers.
Counties Manukau Police have sung the praises of one of their cleaners, Rose, two days after she received a special mention from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern for her work during the coronavirus pandemic.
Rose has been working 13-hours days to keep the Ōtahuhu Police Station safe and clean.
"We really value Rose along with everyone else who come to work each day to look after us and enable us to work in our communities," police said on Facebook,
"Rose is a friend to everyone at Ōtāhuhu Station and we couldn't be more proud of her."
Who would you like to thank for their efforts during these trying times?

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!
