Accordian theft from car on Dominion Road - 1st August
Our friends who organise a cultural group called Singing Nations have had their car broken into with the loss of an iconic accordion, bags of sheet music and audio equipment like microphones and speakers. This loss is significant as they volunteer their time and resources to run a group with approx 30 members. I am personally embarrassed and angry that this sort of thing happens in NZ more frequently nowadays. As a born Kiwi of 60 yrs I can attest this country has changed for the worst especially in terms of crime. Our friends are from Ukraine/Russia and came to this country for a better life. Except I hear they are now victims of 4 burglaries since being here. This last one involving the loss of equipment and folders of sheet music from their car parked on Dominion Road (near Balmoral Road intersection) whilst in a restaurant - was around 6pm on Sunday 1st August. Any information to aid recovery is most welcome. Thank you 027 2751195

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!
