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!

If you’d like to make those dollars work harder for our local communities, consider choosing small. Households spend more than $110 billion with big businesses each year. Shifting a portion of that toward small, local retailers can make a huge difference for the wider small-business economy.

On the afternoon of 15 October, Karen Gilbert-Palmer, 74, was found deceased at her Arthur Street home by a friend who had been unable to contact her.
A homicide investigation was launched, and 52-year-old Jeremy Robertson was identified as a suspect.
The victim’s vehicle was located in at the Blue and Green lakes lookout in Rotorua the following morning, and Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Thompson, Area Investigations Manager, says Police believe Robertson is likely still in that area.
“We have been making a lot of enquiries to locate Jeremy, and we are planning further Police activity in that area in the coming weeks."
“I want to thank the members of the public who came forward with information in the early days of the investigation, including the call that led us to the car within hours of it being parked up.”
Detective Senior Sergeant Thompson said work to find Robertson had not stopped.
“Our focus remains on seeing justice served for Mrs Gilbert-Palmer, and finding Jeremy is key to that.”
Anyone who sees Robertson should not approach him.
Call 111 immediately and advise Police.
Non-urgent information can be passed to Police via 105.
Please quote file number 251015/6286.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

They make excellent (and postable) Christmas presents for Palmerston North residents past and present, but particular articles may resonate with those who have an interest in the railway in Palmerston North, or with nursing history, or with the social history of Ashhurst. Did you know that 100 trains a day passed through the inner city in the 1920s making it a hazard for pedestrians and vehicles – not to mention the perils of the railway as a workplace? The memories of nurse-midwife Una Walker tell us about Palmerston North Hospital as a training place, and also the experiences of mothers and babies at various local maternity homes. Graves at Ashhurst cemetery illuminate the lives of the famous and obscure buried there, while other articles tell us about race relations in the Manawatū in the 1830s, about support systems for another generation of migrants in the 1970s, and about the early history of the old house at Te Manawa Museum.
The journal is a voluntary effort by local historians who would be very grateful for your support!
It can be ordered by emailing manawatujournalsales@inspire.net.nz giving your name and address, including post code.
Payment of $25 per copy should be made at time of order to ANZ 06 0729-0511593-00, with your name as reference.
