The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Hon. Bill English made an official visit to Porters Ski Area last week (August 5th) in order to open the new ‘Easy Rider’ quad chair lift on the mountain. The Deputy PM unveiled a commemorative plaque and cut a ribbon before taking a ride up what used to be the old T-1, on the new quad chairlift; and all in perfect winter skiing conditions. Porters’ director Simon Harvey (who owns Porters along with four Russian shareholders) said since the new chairlift began operating in June feedback from visitors has been overwhelmingly positive. “It’s been a great start to the ski season and Porters is on track to having our best season ever, in terms of skier numbers. We recognised the need for high quality tourism infrastructure in Canterbury and Easy Rider is the first step toward Porters meeting this demand,” Simon commented. More than $7million was invested to install the new chairlift and complete earthworks, as well as carry out other improvements at the ski field. Work was undertaken over seven months from November 2014 to May of this year. The Easy Rider chair is just under 700 metres long, has eight towers and can move 2,000 people per hour. Porters offers some of the best ski terrain and lifts suited for beginner and intermediate skiers and boarders and the mountain has a wide range of lifts and trails suitable for all ages and abilities. Porters easy-access road is also an advantage, as well as their close proximity to Christchurch and Selwyn townships. “This is a major drawcard for Canterbury,” said Christchurch and Canterbury Tourism CEO, Tim Hunter. Hunter “The addition of this new chairlift is sure to increase interest to Porters as well as enhancing the entire winter and ski appeal for the region,” he added. Other improvements in time for this ski season include a new integrated ticketing system, new beginners slope, new T- bar and expansion to the cafeteria.

ACROSS THE STREET ACROSS THE WORLD THE BEST MOVES ARE MADE WITH GRACE
The News were honoured to be invited, and to attend, the Terrace Downs’ inaugural Global Buffet, which is now a regular fixture on the first Friday of each month. Terrace Downs’ Management plan to focus on a different country in the world every month and this first one featured a superb selection of cuisine from, India, Italy and Japan. The buffet table was laid out in an adjoining room, attached to the main dining restaurant, and looked absolutely spectacular with flags of the world adorning both the walls and table. A huge variety of savoury and sweet dishes, along with platter components tempted even the most discerning diner. The restaurant was full for this first Global Buffet night and amongst those present were a sizeable contingent of Windwhistle School parents and pupils, who had just come off the mountain having enjoyed a fabulous day’s skiing. This reviewer initially inwardly cringed when confronted with such a large number of primary children - enmasse; but they were amazing. They enjoyed the various tastes on offer, were chatty, polite and in every way just happy, healthy, country children! An absolute delight.

Koji Kawamata (back left) entertains the visiting group from Japan with help from Jo Brennan of Mt Hutt College (fourth from left) and Neil Gubby of Newzengland Ltd (end right). Terrace Downs Resort & Newzengland Ltd welcomed eight students and two teachers from Yumegaoka Junior High in Yumura, Japan on August 6th for some fun filled activities. The students were visiting Canterbury for a week on an exchange programme run by Mt Hutt College, Methven. Terrace Downs Resort manager Koji Kawamata commented that he was honoured to show the group the stunning views and fun that could be had whilst being in New Zealand. Koji, who hails from Japan, said, “it was a
pleasure to welcome the group, and we wish them safe travels back to Japan.” The group competed in the Mini Olympics run by Newzengland Ltd which consisted of golf chipping, archery and clay shooting. For many of the students it was the first time they had attempted any of these activities. It was a cold winter’s day so the group made the most of the opportunity to sit by the fire and warm up with hot chocolate and chips, before departing the Resort with smiles on their faces.

What do folk conjure up in their minds when hearing the word vegetarian? Maybe it’s a negative connotation for them and they imagine sitting down to a pile of rabbit food with nothing ‘tasty’ on the plate. Local women Katie Snyder and Kerry Gosset would like the opportunity to show people just what being a vegetarian is all about. “Maybe you’re just curious to know what vegetarians do actually eat. Maybe the thought of ‘no meat’ meals is right up your alley - whatever the conception in your mind may have previously been,” Katie said.

Page 4 PORTERS FROM PG 1 A new racking system in the rental department also allows for more room and improved storage space. Future plans include a second chairlift replacing existing T-bars, additional snow making, a new café and summit building. Longer term plans include an alpine village, a push into Crystal Valley, on mountain accommodation and bike path. Further development is obviously dependent in patronage but already the Porters 2015 season was on track to be the strongest yet for skier numbers and revenue. If current numbers continue it’s expected this year will surpass the last season record in 2010. Check out www.skiporters.co.nz for up to date conditions and further mountain information.
With mountain snow conditions the best they’ve been in years, and with Porters new quad chair up and running - local schools have been enjoying unprecedented skiing this winter time. Most of the primary schools in the area have ski programmes of varying lengths, and these photos are from Hororata and Darfield Schools’ visits to Porters.

On Saturday, August 1st, Darfield High School held its Hollywood-themed Formal. Over two hundred and seventy Year 11 to 13 students paired their dancing shoes with their best suit, or most glamorous dress for a night to remember. There were many highlights, such as the great music, tasty supper, the ever entertaining photo booth, and the security guard who owned the dance floor. Another great moment was the sight of the First XV Rugby boys’ impressive Haka! The Formal Committee dedicated the whole of the Friday prior, transforming the school hall to suit the glamorous Hollywood theme. On behalf of Darfield High School, the Committee would like to say a massive thank-you to Don Gillanders for devoting a huge amount of his time and many props to help transform the hall to create the theme - it looked amazing! It also wouldn’t have been such a tremendous night without the PTSA who supplied a delicious supper; which everyone enjoyed. Thanks also go to DJ Hitman for putting on the best mixes of music, Mr Adams for his efforts behind the scenes and organising everyone, and DC

More than two hundred people braved snow and sleet to attend a commemorative service in Trinity Church, Darfield last Sunday. The service was to remember the one hundred year commemoration of the battle at Chunuk Bair. This attack on the heights of Chunuk Bair in early August 1915 marked the heaviest loss of life by New Zealand troops during the Gallipoli campaign. As those who attended the Trinity Church service listened, eighteen people read the names aloud of their family members who had fought in World War One. Four letters home were read by family members who were of an equivalent age as the writer making their narration even more poignant. • The first of these described, from a Canterbury farmer’s perspective, the land and

soldier to his mother asking for there to be no celebrations at his return, because his two other brothers were not coming home. A travel disruption prevented Rev Susan Baldwin from being present and the congregation thank Lay Reader Peter Cattell who took the service in the Vicar’s absence.

From August 5th-9th two very talented bands from Darfield High School competed in the Southern Jam Youth Jazz Festival, in Blenheim The students have been working together under the direction of their Music Head of Department, Rachel Balchin for the past three years and have gone from strength to strength. Previously the ’Big Band’ have achieved Bronze Awards at Southern Jam, but this year both bands received Silver Awards for their judged performance. This is the first time the High School has received a silver in this festival since 2004. Students had worked hard on their repertoire since October 2014 and in the lead up to the festival had rehearsed for two hours on Friday afternoons and a whopping six hours on a Sunday. Darfield High School also received the Royal New Zealand Air Force Band Award for ‘Adjudicators Choice’. This was for being a school who embodies what Southern Jam is all about and a fine example of just why the festival is held.

BUBBLE OR BOOM? SEVEN SEVEN WAYS TO SURVIVE A HOUSING BUBBLE Home ownership is an integral part of the Kiwi way of life but there are times to buy and other times when caution pays off. Not even the nation’s best economists can tell you for sure where in the property cycle we are at the moment and whether we’re seeing a boom or bubble. What is certain is that we’re in an uncertain phase. As a home owner or buyer you need to be prepared for what the market can throw at you. Here’s how: 1.Pay Pay down your mortgage. Reduce debt. If you have a home already, make extra payments and pay off a chunk of your mortgage, or over pay every fortnight or month.. 2.Beware Beware of negative equity. Your biggest risk is that prices start to fall and you end up with a house that is worth less than you paid for it. 3.Don’t Don’t get carried away by the market. The human brain is fallible and there is a belief that you can’t lose on property. Sometimes you can. We know that Kiwis love property and we love it as well, but sometimes it pays to be conservative. 4.Don’t Don’t buy because you’re afraid you’ll miss the boat. Property affordability does go up and down. Eventually the cycle will turn. Maximise your deposit. The bigger your deposit the safer you are. From October the Reserve Bank 5.Maximise limits will require 30 per cent deposits for investment properties in Auckland and 15 per cent elsewhere. 6.Delay the new car or kitchen.

To the Editors: It is upsetting to read the Council S.D.L.C has approved a liquor outlet, while we have already two booze outlets in Darfield. Also when you go to a meeting, a) they don't even listen, b) they cut you off talking after five minutes. It seems a decision has already been made, before a meeting outcome. What Darfield needs is a Super Cheap Auto or a similar shop, with so many cars in and around this area. Does the S.D.L.C want an increase in drink-driving accidents, domestic problems, drunk youth, wilful damage in Darfield? Common sense is needed here.
Mrs Corrie Nieuwenhuize, Darfield To the Editors Never has the huge gap in journalistic talent been so exposed than in Saturday’s Press. Mike Crean would have walked through Darfield talking to people and getting to the heart of the village. McCrone left Christchurch wearing his best big smoke smirk and took two minutes to drive through Darfield seeing only cesspits before retiring to… that fountain of all knowledge the Bakery coffee shop. Darfield is a honest township. No glitz no glamour. What you see is what you get: No big fish, carrots, fruit or bottles of pop. So if Darfield is not for you, just drive through, wave to any yokels you may pass, and carry on your way. Despite what some economists may say Darfield will still be here to welcome you on your return.

A li<le old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner. “Good morning,” said the young man. “If I could take a couple minutes of your me, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners.” “No thank you!” said the old lady. “I haven’t got any money,” and she proceeded to close the door. Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open. “Don’t be too hasty!” he said. “Not un l you have at least seen my demonstra on.” And with that, he emp ed a bucket of semi-dry horse manure all over her hallway carpet. “If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse crap from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder.”
