Dear All
There is concern about the Boy (Girl) Racer misbehaviour in our City.
The following verses perhaps sum up the matter.

There is concern about the Boy (Girl) Racer misbehaviour in our City.
The following verses perhaps sum up the matter.
Boy Racers think streets are their realm,
And feel they are gods at the helm;
But hold hard my friend,
Their exploits often end,
In outcomes that can overwhelm.
Some think that no matter the case,
They have ev’ry right to each race,
And one-eighty spins
To discover who wins;
We hope they’re removed without trace.
’Tis wrong that you think they’re all boys,
Indulging in furious joys;
There’s quite a few girls
Who indulge in these whirls
By using their cars as mad toys.
I wish they’d divert useless skills,
And find other ways for their thrills;
They should change their ways,
And get well deserved praise,
Instead of behaving like dills.

Hi neighbours,
What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.
This cool ride is at Cardrona - the South Island ski resort. Although most Kiwis head there during the winter ski season, in the warmer months it's a summer playground. Click here to read all about it. Have you given this a go?
Jandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop. When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar.

When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar. But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've seen in the beach boutiques nowadays?
A fresh start, magic, love and kindness were among the wishes Christchurch revellers harboured for 2019 as they came together to celebrate New Year's Eve.
How did you ring in 2019?

As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.
Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.
One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.
But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Do you make the most of honesty stalls when you're driving throughout New Zealand?

Organised events for those in the Garden City looking to ring in the new year are mostly confined to pubs, bars and restaurants.
But there is the annual family-friendly celebrations in North Hagley Park. The night will kick off with family entertainment from 6pm, including a performance from comedian Mullet Man, free activities, fairies, and a kids countdown at 8pm. Headline act The Jordan Luck Band will take the stage before a midnight fireworks display.
What have you got planned this New Year's Eve?

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.
- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.
- Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...
