"Orange smoke haze causing increased 111 calls"
Police are asking people not to call the 111 emergency number to report the orange haze in the sky caused by the Australian bush fires. We are currently receiving high numbers of calls related to this. While we appreciate these conditions may be causing concern, the 111 emergency number is for instances when:
• Someone is breaking into your house right now
• There is car accident where people might be hurt, or cars are blocking the road
• Someone has been assaulted and the offender is still there
• You are afraid for your safety and or for those around you
• You need an emergency Police response
For further information relating to when to call 111 please go to www.police.govt.nz...

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!
