Suspicious activity - Carter Road, Oratia

Sue Dell from Waiatarua Community Patrol

Hi folks
Please be aware that there has been some suspicious activities reported around the Carter Road area in Oratia this week - a home burglary on the 5th of March and an unusual occurrence today (where a man approached and stopped a woman driving in her car on the road around the 130's - asking for money for cigarettes).
Although this second incident may turn out to be harmless and unrelated, it was disturbing to the woman involved and very unexpected (and potentially unsafe to the man and motorists) on this windy, narrow road. He is described as disheveled, in his late 40's/early 50's, with shoulder length brown hair. Wearing shorts and a long sleeve top (possibly green).
As always, be vigilant about your home and personal safety and if you have any information please message us (or contact the Police).
Thank you
Waiatarua/Oratia/Henderson Valley Community Patrol

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
