Our Flower Show is over, and what a wonderful weekend it was.
Thanks to all who came to see the beautiful display's of Entries, and especially thanks to all who Exhibited.
Also but not least thanks to all the workers who worked hard to get the Hall set up for the Exhibits, right through to the clean up after the show finished, and the workers who dedicated their time to just being there, to help on the stands or in the Kitchen.
Hopefully we will see you all again at the end of January 2019 for our Summer Show.

The public will have a chance to influence how pokie machine numbers in Nelson are controlled, councillors were divided about the best method. A proposal to change gambling machine regulations was approved for public consultation at a Nelson City Council meeting last week.

​The current proposal includes:
- Reducing the cap on the number of gaming machines allowed to operate in the district.
- Introducing location requirements for new venues, which would prevent them from being located in areas of high deprivation.
- Reducing the limit of the number of Class 4 gaming machines (commonly known as pokies) allowed at new venues
- Making a number of editorial amendments to the Policy.

You are invited to have your say here, submission close 24 October 2018.

Have you ever bought swan plants with pesticide on them and been dismayed to see your monarch caterpillars squirm and later die? The Monarch Butterfly New Zealand Trust is this year listing on their website garden centres that will never sell swan plants.

www.monarch.org.nz...

You'll also find some of the other reasons noted there why monarch caterpillars can die. Of course predators (wasps etc) can be a problem too and there are tips elsewhere on their website to help with those.

We hope to see many more beautiful monarch butterflies filling the skies this summer!

The task between now and December 2022 was to build 454 cellular sites across New Zealand. The top 400 of those sites would service about 34,000 rural households while the next 54, which were "stretch targets" if funds allowed, would service another 2500.

In Tasman district, 20 of the proposed sites are part of the top 400: Maruia West Bank, Bainham, Creighton, Lee Valley Rd, Torrent Bay, Abel Tasman National Park, Kikiwa, Pakawau, Nguroa Bay, Glenhope, Nelson Lakes campsite area, Lake Station, Pohara, Blue Lake, Ariki, Shenandoah, Takaka, Mahana, Matiri and Parapara. Another seven sites were part of the 54 "stretch targets". They are: Puponga, Tadmor Glenhope, Awaroa Bay, Woodstock, Stanley Brook, Redwood Park and Eighty Eight Valley.
