New Zealand's national paper, the Sunday Star-Times, is embarking on a project to find out what Kiwiana has evolved into and how it encapsulates the values of our diverse, innovative 21st century nation.

Join us as we explore what Kiwi culture looks like in neighbourhoods across the country. In the coming weeks, you'll notice a few posts about Kiwi innovations popping up across Neighbourly - we'd love for you engage and let us know what innovations and innovators you think need profiling!

Hiya neighbors. I am looking to find some part time employment in the Kaiapoi/Rangiora area, however I will certainly look at places further afield as well.
I am a fully qualified signwriter with over 40 years of experience. I am also a Graphic Designer but with a flare for large format advertising, however I also enjoy setting up flyers, posters & creating corporate imaging for business cards & logos etc.
I have owned a large sign company in the past & am a skilled project manager. I have used Corel X7, Photoshop & Illustrator as design tools.

I am very versatile & still keen to learn (after all these years!).

If anyone is interested, or knows of someone who may be, please get in touch, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks to all. Lynda Whitehead.

Old singer sewing machine

Jody from Burnside

I have a very old (vintage) singer sewing machine to give away. Unfortunately it's fairly rusted so it would need a bit of work to refurbish but it could be used for parts. It has a number of presser feet with it. Come and pick it up from Charlcott St, near wairakei Rd.

NZ Mandarins: $2.99kg
Apples: $2.99kg
Avocados: .68c each

Arrived fresh in this morning, Corriander, Asparagus and New Zealand Strawberries.
We still have New Season Ilam Hardy potatoes in store.

With the school holidays just around the corner we will be running another kids colouring competition. 5 winners will be picked. Keep an eye out for new pictures to get at the store or ask one of our friendly staff.

Here is some tips about Asparagus you might find useful.

If this news motivates you to rush out and buy some asparagus, here are some tips to make your experience even better:
1. Choose firm, crisp spears that don’t look dry or droopy. Fresh asparagus is squeaky when the stalks rub together.
2. Thin stems tend to be more tender but thick spears have a longer shelf life.
3. You can store asparagus in a jar with a little water (2cm) at the bottom, a bit like flowers. Or wrap them in a plastic bag and store in the fridge.
4. Asparagus can be eaten raw, fried, chargrilled, steamed, microwaved or baked.
5. Apart from baking, most cooking methods for asparagus will take just a few minutes.
