THEFT
Yesterday at THRIVE op shop in the Gables Arcade, Rangiora a low life came into our shop and stole a battery powered drill, MARKO brand. it was not for sale, it was my own property, I was using it to do a job but had to do something else and was distracted and I left it on top of a cabinet. It was a very busy morning in the shop. The drill belonged to me, not the shop. This is not the first time a theft has happened to us, our hammer was also stolen a few months ago. We have also had other items stolen over time. If any person can help in the recovery of my drill I would be very happy. I am retired and a volunteer. It may now be necessary for us to install a security camera.

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!
