Get prepared for an emergency
Flooding across the motu (country) in recent months has highlighted just how important it is to be prepared. While councils, emergency services and Civil Defence have strong plans in place to respond, in a major emergency these services will be stretched so we need everyone in our community to play their part.
Take some time this long weekend to make or check over your household emergency plans. Our friends at Wellington Region Emergency Management Office have some great tips and resources to help you get prepared. Visit www.wremo.nz... and www.kapiticoast.govt.nz... for more information.

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!
