Freak flooding almost ruins dance school's final show

Alex Loo Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Good morning neighbours,
DanceWorks studio in Palmerston North flooded after the city was hit with 33.8 millimetres on Sunday. Director Marika Harvey estimated there was $34,000 of damage, not including lost props, but it could be more.
How did the unseasonable weather impact your weekend plans?

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!
