Running buddy group set up following spate of attacks on women

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

A group has been set up to help people find running buddies following four random attacks on women in Auckland while they were exercising.
Facebook group 'Running Mate' was set up on Tuesday afternoon with the intention of getting people to exercise together, as a safety-in-numbers initiative.
It comes as police warned four attacks on women who were running or walking alone in the North Shore and West Auckland area may have been linked.
By Friday, it had 341 members, with posts from people all over Auckland keen to find people to go running with.

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!
