This year’s Spring Challenge all girl multisport ‘schools’ section was held in Wanaka and dominated by three Darfield High School students (Team ‘These Boots are Made for Walking’). The girls were required to run, raft, mountain bike and orienteer their way through the picturesque Central Otago countryside. The three hour race was navigated by Darfield High School Head of Sport Prefect, Amanda Schnell who led teammates Kylie Schnell and Harriet Watson to victory. The team had been practicing navigation and map reading skills to ensure they knew where they were at all times and their skill was apparent during the event. The team had a great start to the race with a fast mountain bike run putting them in contention to win. This speedy first round was almost reversed when they were overtaken in the second round. Digging deep, they overtook again to secure the win. The girls had always hoped to do well, but exceeded even their

Their team placed sixteenth overall out of 133 teams in the three hour event. Teams must navigate, run,

The Two Rivers Community Trust (TRCT) has five youth workers who are involved in supporting young people across Selwyn, particularly within its high schools. Sage Harris, Harris Poiema Heine and Hannah Cossey work within Darfield High School to develop relationships with students, develop leadership, build school spirit, and link students with out of school activities. They are trained and qualified in dealing with issues and topics that young people face including self image, safe technology use and knowledge of the Treaty of Waitangi. This year they have spent more than 1,000 hours on over 900 one on one student contacts i.e. mentoring. They also go on school camps and coach sports, as well as being involved in other school events. The funding for these youth workers is shared between Darfield High School, Darfield Baptist Church, Hope Presbyterian Church, and the Selwyn District Council. Hannah also works as a youth

coach in Darfield High and Lincoln High Schools and in a team with Mathew Hooper in Ellesmere College. The youth coach contract is awarded by the Ministry of Social Development to assist young people to pass NCEA Lvl 2. The youth coaches work with 16-18 year olds inside and outside of school. They have connections with employment and training opportunities and are also able to support students to get drivers licences, put together CVs and work out budgets. The team is led by Sam Broughton who works behind the scenes on organisational relationships, funding and training. The youth team is part of the work of TRCT who also work on community support, social housing and food resiliency. More information on the activities of TRCT can be found on their website or by contacting Paul Cossey in Darfield.

The Hororata Parish Spring Fair, held annually on Labour Day, will see a return to some traditional Country Fair events this year. “We have spent time looking at what makes a Fair a great day out for all the family and then we have looked at what we can add to the Hororata Parish Spring Fair,” explained Hororata Parish Spring Fair Chairperson Lucy Cookson. Cookson “We are bringing back the traditional children’s events like sack and egg and spoon races, along with gumboot throwing. There will be heaps of great prizes and lots of fun to be had.” The Fair features a large number of market stalls offering a range of products and produce. The Parish runs a White Elephant stall the enormity of which, fills the entire stables at the Hororata Domain. A favourite of the day is the Country Auction where people are sure to grab themselves a

bargain. “This year we have arranged for a number of young performers to provide entertainment at the event. This will not only be great for Fair visitors but also gives some people with amazing talent in our community the chance to showcase what they can do,” Lucy added. Primary aged children can demonstrate their artistic talents by entering the Creative Kids competition. With new categories each year this competition is fast growing to be a ‘must-do’ for many children. The four categories this year are: Flower Power, Cup Cake Bake/Decorate, Colouringin and Lego Creation. “Last year we had a fabulous turn out despite being a very wet day,’ Lucy said. “The Hororata Domain is a great venue for all weathers, as there is plenty of shelter from rain or sun. Hopefully the rain stays away this year, but no matter

With free entry the Spring Fair provides an inexpensive day out for families in a safe and welcoming setting.” For more information visit www.hororataparish.co.nz

People needing a travel agency’s expertise now know we can provide it, know what we’re about, how professional we are and being part of the Harvey World Travel group enables us to offer the best deals as they become available,” Sue said. “We pride ourselves on doing a good job and being local is just an added bonus for clients.

Glentunnel’s champion mountain -biker Ethan Rose competed at the South Island Secondary School Mountain Bike Championships in Dunedin (October 3rd-4th) and achieved outstanding results in an event which was made even more challenging than usual, due to the weather conditions. Saturday morning saw Ethan take part in the first and most important event of the weekend - the cross country. Even though the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day, the conditions were still wet, muddy and slippery from rain the day before. Ethan was competing in the U13’s age bracket and also had over thirty riders in front of him at the start line. This may have disheartened some riders in his position, but instead it motivated Ethan to push hard, right from the beginning of the race. He was third by the end of the first lap and lost a little time on the next two, but he pushed through on the last lap achieving the fastest overall lap time. Ethan’s end result was third overall, with two very fast U15’s taking the first and

Ethan Rose: Defied the weather beaten track to become the U13 South Island Secondary School MTB Champion. second place. He was elated with these results but felt that if he had started closer to the front with the top riders, he could really have been a strong contender for the win. Sunday’s downhill race also saw impressive results, with Ethan coming first in the U13 category with a 24 second gap between his time and that of the second

placegetter. After the two days, Ethan was named overall U13’s South Island Secondary School MTB Champion 2015. Ethan will be racing in the twelve hour McLean’s race this weekend in the Moffatts Flower Company Team, along with some top riders.

It was a picture that drew the viewer into it, and made one want to know what lay at the end of the lane - I found it captivating. Being able to speak to Christchurch artists Michael and Janet (who was the Premier Award winner) Ballard about the picture was just one of the wonderful aspects of the evening - while being able to express my appreciation for the artist’s talent, was another. The exhibition at the Darfield Recreation Centre, along with its two complementary venues (Selwyn Gallery - works by Loretta Sloan and Tatyanna Meharry and Darfield Library with Gandhi photographs) is still open this weekend (Library not open Saturday afternoon or Sunday) for last minute viewing. Artweek works on offer covered a wide range of subject matter, mediums and styles - some were outstanding, while others this reviewer wouldn’t give house room! All goes to show that art is very definitely a matter of individual, personal taste. I could however appreciate the skill, and t a le nt t ha t ea ch art ist demonstrated, along with the amount of time required to create the end result.

Rosie spoke encouragingly and added that she had very much enjoyed the huge variety of art on offer, but had found the selection of winners incredibly difficult because of the high standard of work in contention. The surprised expression on the face of local quilter extraordinaire, Aroya Bowden was a delight to see, when she was named as a merit award winner and Rosie commented

SAVING MONEY ON YOUR MORTGAGE

A Good Vintage - acrylic by Corey Koppe.

With interest rates coming down again, and if you are lucky to have a loan coming off a fixed rate, then you will be in a great posi on to take advantage of re-fixing at a be>er rate and saving a nice wee chunk of your monthly mortgage payment. If you fix at that lower rate and keep your current repayment the same then bingo! You will make a good saving on your mortgage. For example: If you are dropping from say 6.5% down to 5.05% (ASB five year rate) on a $400,000 loan over twenty years, then you will be looking at reducing your monthly repayments by $323. If you keep your repayments the same as you paid on 6.50% (that extra $323 per month) then you will save $45,521 on interest and knock around three years off your mortgage! It is not so much about the rate as about the extra money you can funnel into your repayments that makes the big savings – 4 la>es a week @ $5 = $20 per week and that would save you $14,304 on that same loan. Food for thought?

Highland Dancing at the Hororata Highland Games is one of the biggest competitions in New Zealand with nearly one hundred dancers competing in over thirty different categories. The Hororata Highland Games is hosting three Canterbury West Coast Championships and one South Island Championship this year. Top level dancing deserves a top level stage to perform on and thanks to local businesses, this year they will have one. “For the past four years we have borrowed temporary stages. While they were of good quality, it is very hard to get them perfectly level and this does affect the dancers,” explained Event Manager, Cindy Driscoll. Driscoll “They were also time consuming for volunteers to install,” she added. “We are focussed on ensuring that we put on the best Scottish competitions in the country and building our own dance stage is a big step towards this.” The new stage will be seventy square metres and placed on permanent footings which have been levelled to give a quality performance area. The top of the stage is built in segments so it can be positioned when needed for the event, then removed and stored when not in use. “This project has only been made possible with the help of local businesses and volunteers. Local builder Mark Moore from

Moore Builders Ltd has led the project and designed the stages. ITM Darfield and Selwyn Sawmi lls h ave donat ed materials, Neil Walker Contracting used his machinery to help bore the sixty footing holes and AFI Systems has supported the project both with labour and financially. Funding has also been received from the Air Rescue Services Ltd,” Cindy said “We are also grateful to the Hororata Reserve Board for all the support it gives the Games. The Hororata Domain is a fabulous venue and it is great that we can do things which improve our event and make life easier for our volunteers,”

she said. “The Hororata Highland Games would not be possible without the commitment and effort of volunteers. Over two hundred volunteers work on the event, helping not just on the day, but throughout the year. Many are local, but many are not and they assist because they love the event, love what it does for the community and for the Scottish competitions.” Volunteers are always in demand (the Games take place on November 7th). All volunteers receive a ticket to the event, a tee shirt, lunch and an invite to the Prime Smoke ‘Thank You’ BBQ at the end of the day.

Repairs to most cemetery headstones damaged in the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes are nearing completion in Selwyn. Repairs to thirteen of the nineteen cemeteries maintained by Selwyn District Council have been completed, with work on the five remaining cemeteries needing repairs scheduled to be finished by June 2016. One cemetery - Lake Coleridge - did not suffer any earthquake damage. Many headstones (around 1100) were damaged in the magnitude 7.1 September 2010 earthquake, which was centred near Charing Cross, about 10 kilometres from Darfield. Some further damage also occurred as a result of the February 2011 Canterbury Earthquake. Since the Canterbury earthquakes, Selwyn District Council has been working through a staged programme of cemetery repairs to fix damaged headstones in Council maintained cemeteries. Over the past year repairs to Prebbleton, Bishops Corner, Killinchy, Kirwee, Ellesmere Public and Ellesmere Catholic cemeteries have been completed. Repair work to Brookside, Springston, Lincoln, Shands Road, Weedons, Greendale and Dunsandel cemeteries was previously completed. The cemeteries where repair work is yet to be undertaken are: South Malvern, Kimberley, Waddington, and Hororata. These repairs are planned to be complete by June next year. Work is currently underway on

Canterbury Police are urging the public to be vigilant for on-line and email scams in the wake of several recent complaints relating to fraudulent behaviour. Detective Sergeant Craig Farrant from Canterbury Police’s Fraud Squad said people of all ages and backgrounds fall victim to false promises and fake offers. “No one in the community is immune from being a target. With the increased use of digital technology tech savvy people are increasing their risk and exposure to fraudulent online tra nsa ctions a nd solicitations. The elderly are particularly vulnerable to financial exploitation by relatives and/or caregivers.” “Retirees may have spare capital for investment or travelling more and booking holidays online. They may also, because of their current situation, have started buying goods online or be new to online dating. This makes them more vulnerable to

online scams. Not all scams that target this demographic are online. Often they have cash on them and as they are more likely to be home during the day could become the victim of fraudulent cold callers.” "If something seems too good to be true it probably is. In real life one does not simply ‘become’ the long lost relative of a Nigerian Prince or magically win a lottery that they have never entered. Take time to look at the ‘offer’ and ask questions," explained Detective Sergeant Farrant. • If something sounds too good to be true it usually is. • Don't respond to letters or emails saying you won the lottery - you haven't - it is always a scam. • Legitimate offers and sites never require you to withdraw your money from your bank and send it through money transfer services such as Western Union.

Ellesmere and Malvern residents have made a range of suggestions through initial consultation on local area plans about how their townships could be developed in the future. Selwyn District Council is working to develop area plans for Malvern and Ellesmere and undertook consultation in July and August to gather comments from local residents on how they would like their townships to develop and what they liked about where they lived. Area plans will provide a fifteen year framework for sustainable growth and development. They will look at how townships within Ellesmere and Malvern could develop and where housing, businesses, open space, community facilities and infrastructure could be located in the future. 53 submissions were received during the consultation. Seven drop in sessions took place as

part of the consultation at Leeston, Dunsandel, Springfield, Darfield and Glentunnel. Around seventy people attended these sessions. From submissions and drop in sessions residents made a wide range of suggestions for the future of local townships. Some of these suggestions included providing for more growth to occur in Doyleston and Southbridge, allowing for business growth in Dunsandel along with improving parking in the town and improving walking and cycling options in Leeston. In Malvern towns keeping the rural character of Coalgate was mentioned as being important, and providing more medium density and large section options in Darfield and more housing options for Glentunnel were suggested. Sheffield residents wanted improved crossing points in the township and Springfield

locals suggested additional tourist information in the town. A complete list of submissions and feedback is available at www.selwyn.govt.nz/areaplans. “We would like to thank local residents who made submissions or attended the drop in sessions for their comments,” said Acting Selwyn Mayor Sarah Walters. Walters Sarah added that Council staff are now working on gathering additional technical information to help inform Area Plans for Ellesmere and Malvern and will look at that information as well as community feedback to develop the draft plans. Draft Area Plans for Ellesmere and Malvern are expected to be released for public consultation in late February 2016. The Area Plans will inform the upcoming District Plan review as well as identifying other projects that may be needed in Malvern and Ellesmere townships.

Saturday, 10 October 2015 Greendale lost to Lincoln, by 9 wickets. Greendale 107 T. Dalley 26 B. Chapman 18 Lincoln 108/1 At Greendale, the grass pitch and ground were in immaculate condition. The weather was sublime - slight N.E. breeze, and sunny. Lincoln were 6/1. Then H. Paterson, and J. Benton, took their side to victory. They had to work for their runs, as Greendale tried hard, and were keen to the last ball. Liam Bragan (18 years), almost took a brilliant catch. At wide mid-on, the ball came like a bullet (almost!) close to the

ground, and he dived, and actually held it for a split second. Sth. Malvern lost to Weedons, by 205 runs. This game was played at Glentunnel on an artificial pitch. Weedons 280/9 (45 overs) T.

Bob Davidson (Darfield), fielding at shortleg, said: ‘you’re batting like a goat.’ A little later, Bob dropped a ‘sitter’ of a catch. Bruce said: ‘Who’s the goat now?’

A couple were lying in bed together on the morning of their 10th wedding anniversary when the wife says, 'Darling, as this is such a special occasion I think that it is me I made a confession...... before we were married I was a hooker for eight years..' The husband ponders for a moment and then looks into his wife's eyes and says, 'my love, you have been a perfect wife for 10 years! and I cannot hold your past against you.. Maybe you could show me a few tricks of the trade.” She said, 'Darling I don't think you understood me correctly, my name was Brian and I played rugby for Wales'.
