At just 11 years old Dakota started a new hobby making jewellery with other kids in mindashertargetmarket.
Her mum, Tammy, says Dakota only started her venture in November last year, and is still verynewatit.
“Thereasonshebeganwasshe had saved money originally to buy a hoverboard but decided against it and didn’t know what else to do with her savings.”
Tammy gave Dakota a few suggestions – she declined most of them but discovered making jewellery was one that sheenjoyed.
“I thought it was great that it was not about making money but rather the journey and experience.Teaching her to be confident, how to work with money, and enjoy being
creative,”saysTammy.
Although Dakota doesn’t make the pendants/beads herself, she does assemble them to create unique designs and plans to extend her range with some handmade melted beadearrings.
Dakota says that making
jewellery is fun. “It keeps me busyandisquitehardandeasy atthesametime.”
“And,” adds the budding entrepreneur, “it helps me makemoney.”

As part of the campaign, customers also left unwrapped gifts in-store for children as a donation to local SHE service based in Burnside. Popular items included toys, books, games and art supplies, which were distributed to local families who needed them most.
“The response was incredible. Whether it was a couple of dollars or a dropped-o gift, every bit counts. It’s humbling to see how much people care,” says Lynsey. “People here have

21ST ANNUAL ART EVENT AT WEST MELTON
Nut Point Arts, Music, and Nature Centre on the Canterbury Plains is delighted to host the 21st Annual West Melton Art Event and presentation of the 2025 Nut PointArtAwards.
Eighteen local and NZ artists are exhibiting their work this year, including Bryony Bedggood, Caroline Williams, Christine Watton, Denise Corden, Diane Ammar, Don McAra, Emma Steel, Gordon Sharp, Janie Porter, Jo Wright, John Maillard, Jonathan Steel, Karin Lange, Mandy Palmer, Mary Fraser, Racheal Western, RobynSmith,andSarahBeal.
Nominations for the three awards will be led by practicing artists and people’s choice combined with the awards presented at the openingofthisannualeventat NutPointCentre.
A ra e to win a voucher for
purchasing art will be drawn amongst visitors at the opening on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at 4pm (note: voting closesat5pm).
RSVP is essential with a $5 donation entry that includes refreshments, and this year the event is accompanied with background music of Classical jazzbyKime/BevinJazzDue.
Nut Point Centre is not registered as a charity or nonprofit organisation and is often seen as a business. However, its activities align more closely with community and charitable support.
As a clay sculptor, John Allan established a small clay studio and art gallery in 2002 on a rundown lifestyle property in WestMelton.
In 2004, a local artist approached John about exhibiting her work in his gallery.Afterdiscussingit,they
decided to hold a group exhibition for local artists. Hence the West Melton Art Exhibition was held in an old, open hay shed with very few artists. The event was a success and became an annual fixture.
Although initially a visual arts event, classical chamber music was featured from the beginning during the opening nights.
Over the years, Nut Point Centre has secured sponsorships from various organisations and businesses to fund Art Awards, eventually establishing its own fund for the Nut Point Centre Annual ArtAwards.

YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHERS TO HIT ROLLESTON STREETS
Budding photographers from Te Rōhutu Whio and Waitaha Schools in Rolleston will be busy clicking cameras in the first term this year. The photography programme is called ‘Inside Stories’ and is designed for tamariki in regional New Zealand to learn basic camera skills and tell stories responsibly with photos. Created and facilitated by Christchurch photographer Heather Milne, the programme will also result in a time capsule of photographs by young people that is archived forthelocalcommunity.
“I ran the pilot programme of ‘Inside Stories’ on the West Coast last year and was blown away at how creative the children were, and the unexpected benefits of the workshops. The children used their cameras to explore new places and test new ideas –
without being worried about getting it right or wrong. I’d alsounderestimatedhow much fun I would have” says Heather.
The children’s work will be printed and curated as a free public exhibition at Te Ara ĀteainMay.
Heather says, “The programme is free for all participants, which only happensbecause of great supporters such as Selwyn District Council (through the Creative Communities Scheme), Hughes Developments, and Rolleston
News. I’m keen to grow the programme to include more young people – but that meansbuyingmore cameras.If any individuals or businesses would like to ‘sponsor-acamera’ or donate to the printing costs, I’d love to hear fromyou.”
Look out for updatesabout the Selwyn edition of ‘Inside Stories’ on the Facebook page facebook.com/InsideStoriesNZ, and contact Heather on heatherjoymilne@gmail.com if you’dliketodonate.

BIG CHANGES FOR RESIDENTIAL TENANCY
By Sharon Layton. By Sharon Layton. Sharon Layton. Sharon Layton.
The Residential Tenancy Act 1986 (RTA) sets out the rights andresponsibilitiesofboththe tenant and the landlord.
Changes to the RTA were passed in December 2024 and many take e ect on January 30,2025.
The main changes that we need to be immediately aware of are the notice periods that can be issued by either party toterminateatenancy.
Changes for periodic Changes for periodic tenancies tenancies
Once again landlords will be abletoissuea90daynoticeto terminate a periodic tenancywithout havingtogive areason.
A landlord wishing to move back into their property or have a family member move in to it will now be required to give 42 days’ notice for the tenant to vacate. It is important to note that they must have the intention of moving in to the property within 90 days of the termination date and it must
be their main residence for at least90days.
Forty-two days’ notice can also be given if the property is required for the landlord’s employee or contractor and if the property hasbeen sold and the purchaser requires vacant possession.
Any notices that have already beenissuedtoatenantpriorto January 30 are legally binding and new shorter notices must not be issued to reduce the timing.
Tenantsonaperiodicleasecan give 21 days’ notice to end the tenancyatanytime Changes for Fixed Changes for Fixed Changes for Changes for Fixed- term tenancies
Fixed term tenancies will automatically become a periodic tenancy (as now) unless:
1) Either party can give notice toendthetenancy between 90 and21dayspriortotheend of the fixed term without givingareason.
2) Both the landlord and tenant agree on an alternative date.
Any fixed term tenancy that has been signed after February 11, 2021, and expires prior to April30, 2025,arenot covered by the changes above while they are still on a fixed term. They must therefore roll on to a periodic lease or reasons must be given to terminate theirlease.
Do not hesitate to contact Sharon on 027 355 0359 to chat about any upcoming amendments.
COUNCILS WANT PARTNERSHIP IN ‘25
In an article written by LGNZ President Sam Broughton, he says councils around the country have had some of their most challenging conversations around the council table this last year, as they balance the need to protect ratepayer’s long-term interests with the financial sustainabilityofcouncils.
The best thing that Government could give councils in 2025, he says, is thegiftofpartnership.
“We all know the long list of actions that central government is asking of local government, so you may not be surprised to hear local governmenthasgotalisttoo. If we want 2025 to be a better year for our communities, this is what we need from Government:
He says councils work extremely hard for their communities. “It’s a tough job to deliver everything that’s needed. Every day, councils make important decisions that impact future generations –from infrastructure investment like roads, bridges and pipes, to emergency management andwaste.”
Yet often Mayors and councillors face government or public criticism for making future-focused decisions that noteveryonelikes.
“So in 2025, we’re asking the Government to partner with local government and empower councils to do the best they can for ratepayers; we both serve the same communities so we need to worktogether.
Government’s greatest gift would be removing red tape, enabling more funding levers for growth – and working together with us to deliver for thepeopleofNewZealand.”

However, the bill does not make desexing mandatory, but Predator Free NZsaysmicrochippingisastep intherightdirection. Initsonlinepetitiontosupport the bill, Predator Free NZ says, “We have a problem with cat management in New Zealand. Cats are important companion animals but also have

The Domestic Cat Microchipping Bill proposes the mandatory microchipping and registration of all owned cats in Aotearoa New Zealand. This legislation aims to improve cat management, enhance responsible pet ownership, and protect native wildlife by distinguishing between owned and unowned cats.

Welcome to 2025, and hopefully the weather will be kinderthanwhatishasbeen.
One thing about the rain it improves the growing habit of mostplantsratherthannormal watering, but the weeds come quicker with the warmth that isinthegroundalso.
Our schedule for the start of our year included a trip to a begonia garden on January 27 and our annual pilgrimage to Ashburton for a garden visit and a picnic lunch plus a visit to Joyce’s dahlia garden. February brings a trip to the Ohinetahi Garden on the peninsulaatGovernorsBay. At this time of the year, we have an abundance of vegetables so make the most with preserving some for the winter months, by freezing, bottlingmakingpickles,etc.
If you have brassicas in the
garden, protect them from the white butterfly with some fine netting, they’re too hard to growsometimesforthemtobe eatenaway.
May seeds or plants can be put in for the rest of summer/ autumn including carrots, beetroot, and lettuces to name a few. Flower gardens have produced some great flowers this year, so if you have some that need dead heading do so as this will produce a longer floweringtime.
Lilies that have finished check and see what you need to do, so you have a good crop again next season, as there are di erent requirements for di erenttypes.
Enjoy your gardening no matterwhat you like, it isgood foryourwellbeing.

When my teenage son worked part time in a hardware store, a man came in to buy hooks for hanging plants. But there were only two hooks left in the
colour that he needed. My son, trying to be helpful, suggested, "Could you maybe use the silver or the white instead? "
The customer scrutinized him and said, "You're not married, are you?"
