Pay rise for Horowhenua councillors

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Hello neighbours,
District councillors in Horowhenua will now receive a base remuneration of $38,300 a year. It used to be shy of $30,000.
Does the increase make civic service any more attractive to you?

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!
