"Kia ora – Jeremy Baars from New World Ilam here. Keen to discover a new top drop in time for summer?

My favourite wine from this year’s New World Wine Awards is Stoneleigh’s Latitude Marlborough Chardonnay. It’s an excellent example of the Chardonnay style that customers are loving: rich, creamy and buttery, and full of stone fruit flavours. It goes well with dishes that have rich sauces like pasta or seafood and chicken. If Chardonnay isn’t your type, then give Lindauer Rosé a go – it’s a bottle of celebration and fun that’s good quality and at a great price.”

Come into your local New World and explore the Top 50 Gold-medal winning wines – we have winners for every budget. Plus join us for complimentary wine sampling and try before you buy.

This boutique hotel offers a new owner the opportunity to combine a healthy and diverse lifestyle with an interesting and profitable business which naturally scales down during winter, allowing for a holiday.

Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.

Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.

A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.

This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.

Should schools stop asking parents for donations?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Hi neighbours - it was introduced to reduce the "significant financial pressure" on Kiwi families, but so far only about one in four eligible schools have signed up to the Government scheme to replace voluntary donations.

Under the draft Education Amendment Bill, decile 1-7 state and state-integrated schools can opt to receive a payment of $150 per student, per year if they agree not to ask parents or caregivers for donations.

But as of last week, with just over a month to go until boards of trustees need to register, only 471 out of 1749 schools had told the Ministry of Education that they intend to sign up to the initiative.

In Canterbury, Shirley Boys' High School has rejected the discretionary grants, with headmaster John Laurenson saying its co-curriculum programme "would have to cease" if it took up the Government's offer.

DO we fight against climate change or for extra petrol station

Alex from Hurunui District

We have one petrol station in Pegasus, Waikuku, three in Amberley, then Waipara and so on in every small town along the way. It's a school bus stop here where the extra station is about to be built. If you want an extra station then, locate it outside the town. What about the climate change … View moreWe have one petrol station in Pegasus, Waikuku, three in Amberley, then Waipara and so on in every small town along the way. It's a school bus stop here where the extra station is about to be built. If you want an extra station then, locate it outside the town. What about the climate change strike, everyone screaming, that we should care about our environment, our cows are farting too much, but the big company are still do their business, sounds like an extra station is OK and the petrol is clean and green, right in the middle of town.
Community still grow, what about the bigger library , post office, extra bank, children's playground or swimming pool, or dedicated electric car rapid charging station that can serve at least 5 cars at once, we have three gas stations with multitude of pumps and only one electric car charger that capable of only one car per 30 min?
So it looks like our council does not care about local people, the sighing process went absolutely secretive, we did not know until the last day, no notice in the letter box, no announcement. Everything was predetermined, the big buck opens all the doors. So if you want to compete, simply buy out the competitor and open your business at old location. They closed one in central of Woodend and open one on outskirts of town, thus relocating it away from residential area. And not increasing the number of gas stations.
I am not against the business, but it is too many in one place.
