This year Age Concern New Zealand want all New Zealanders to sign up as Age Concern Dignity Champions and stand up for the human rights of older Kiwis.
“There is no excuse for elder abuse, says Stephanie Clare, Age Concern New Zealand Chief Executive. I am appalled that we are still having to deal with cases each day where older people are taken advantage of.
“Just because someone is older it doesn’t mean they are less valuable, have less purpose or should lose basic human rights, the right to make their own choices and respect from those around them.
“Of the cases we see, 75% of alleged abusers are family members, either adult children or partners of adult children and that needs to stop!
“So come on Kiwis we all have a part to play. You can take a stand against ageism and join me by signing up today!” says Stephanie.
An Age Concern Dignity Champion pledges to:
• Reject stereotypes and focus on the uniqueness of every individual
• Speak up when they hear people speaking negatively about growing old
• Have the courage to question practices they feel are disrespectful to older people
• Not patronise older people
• Be patient, polite and friendly
• Have zero tolerance for abuse or neglect
• Build relationships – they combat isolation and loneliness by getting to know the older people in their lives.

Thanks to all who came to see the beautiful display's of Entries, and especially thanks to all who Exhibited.
Also but not least thanks to all the workers who worked hard to get the Hall set up for the Exhibits, right through to the clean up after the show finished, and the workers who dedicated their time to just being there, to help on the stands or in the Kitchen.
Hopefully we will see you all again at the end of January 2019 for our Summer Show.

The current proposal includes:
- Reducing the cap on the number of gaming machines allowed to operate in the district.
- Introducing location requirements for new venues, which would prevent them from being located in areas of high deprivation.
- Reducing the limit of the number of Class 4 gaming machines (commonly known as pokies) allowed at new venues
- Making a number of editorial amendments to the Policy.
You are invited to have your say here, submission close 24 October 2018.

You'll also find some of the other reasons noted there why monarch caterpillars can die. Of course predators (wasps etc) can be a problem too and there are tips elsewhere on their website to help with those.
We hope to see many more beautiful monarch butterflies filling the skies this summer!

The Nelson City Council voted seven to five not to live-stream the briefings at a full council meeting on Thursday. Read more from the Nelson Mail here.
