Saturday dawned cloudy and chilly, but then warmed up to be an extremely pleasant day for all those that made it to the Sheffield Domain for the annual Malvern A & P Show. While the full list of award winners won’t be published until next week, the surprised recipient of the Royal Agricultural Medal, Judith Earl Williams was overwhelmed with the presentation.

“I thank the Association so much for awarding me the honour of a RAS medal at the Malvern A & P Show,” Judith said. “It was the best kept secret ever!”

“It was almost like a ‘This is Your Life’.” Judith laughed.

“There was information there about me at seven years old!”

“Thanks also to John Grigg, Grigg President of the Royal Agricultural Society New Zealand for presenting me with the medal on their behalf.”

“I am also grateful to Melissa

Judith Earl-Williams (second from left) was as surprised with the RAS medal awarded her, as she was with the massive secret kept under wraps by family and friends to deliver an almost ‘This is Your Life’ performance.

L to R: Peter Williams, Judith, Melissa Jebson, John Grigg (Pres. RAS) and Matt Collier.

Jebson for all the research done, as well as to Matt Collier and his committee for a wonderful family day. Well done to you all,” Judith concluded.

“It was a great Show,” commented 201 6 Show President Matt Collier.

Collier “We had strong numbers through the gate, the weather was absolutely perfect and everyone

enjoyed the wonderful entertainment along with the Bar, which resulted in record takings!”

“I’d like to thank everyone who was involved in the organisation and planning of the Show for helping make it the success that it was - we can now look forward to next year’s,” Matt finished.

More than 3300 participants from throughout the South Island learnt a little bit more of the Easter message, in a fun filled Easter weekend at Spencer Park. Amongst them were 62 from the Darfield Baptist Youth Group. Eastercamp run by Canterbury Youth Services has been enjoyed by those attending for around twenty years.

“Eastercamp focuses on the Easter message from a Christian perspective,” said S a m Broughton, Broughton one of the Youth Leaders accompanying the Darfield contingent, “with speakers telling the story of Easter and explaining how it helps us break harmful patterns in our lives, gives us hope that tomorrow can be better than today and that there is a God who loves us and has gone to extraordinary lengths to meet with us.”

Afternoons at Camp were filled with volleyball, dodgeball, cricket, cafes and carnival rides.

All the food, for camp meals, was catered for, on site.

day, and this year is already looking like it’ll be even bigger and better. Fete-goers will have an opportunity to enjoy a special entertainment area with live music and there are already more than one hundred stalls planning to attend. There’s bound to be something for everyone as stallholders showcase unique handcrafts, exquisite adults and children's clothing, jewellery, antiques and collectables. Organisers have laid on free children’s entertainment that includes a bouncy castle, face painting, clowns and water walkers, meaning that the junior members of the family are well and truly catered for.

The food choices available are wide and varied. Culinary delights from Mexico, Vietnam, and the Mediterranean, along with seafood and ice creams etc. make decision-making difficult!

Numerous local organisations will use the Fete for essential fundraising, as well as to be on hand to provide community information at the event.

On Saturday, April 9th, Malvern mums Lu Wengler and Pam Aldersley will take part in this year's Shave For A Cure fundraiser; Leukaemia and Blood Cancer's signature fundraising event.

Pam and Lu, who are nurses, have both lost parents to cancer and so this fundraiser is very dear to their hearts. They have decided that the time is right to lop off their locks to raise money for this incredibly worthwhile cause, and to show support for friends currently undergoing treatment. Lu and Pam's team has a fundraising goal of $5,000. To help reach the target, a number of Malvern schools are having wacky hair days during the week of April 4th to 8th, with gold coin donations from students being added to the total. The team has also recently acquired a new member, Dawson Gilchrist, Gilchrist who is bravely

Page 3

ditching his trad emark dreadlocks, “all for a good cause”.

The great shave will take place at the Yello Shack Cafe in Springfield on Saturday, April 9th and the Shave For A Cure team would love to see everyone join them for a fun night. Hairdresser Angela Wengler (nee Stafford) Stafford will be wielding the clippers. Angela has also offered her services on the night for anyone wanting a (less drastic) haircut! These haircuts will be offered at a discounted price and all proceeds from the door and haircuts will be donated to the cause.

Lu and Pam thank their amazing sponsors, without whom their goal of $5,000 would have little or no chance of being reached.

For more information regarding Shave For A Cure, check

out www.shaveforacure.co.nz On this website Pam, Lu and Dawson can be searched for by name to see their personal stories and to make a donation.

The Council met on Wednesday, March 23rd and made the following key decisions: Consultation to start on draft Annual Plan: The Council has adopted the Annual Plan 2016/17 Consultation Document for public consultation, which will open on April 4th. It outlines proposals in the 2016/17 Annual Plan which differ from that proposed in last year’s Long-Term Plan 20152025. Proposals for consultation include: • a proposal to standardise charges for rural water schemes to be more consistent with the districtwide water rate introduced last year • a proposal for how a new large-scale park for recreation and community use could be funded • bringing forward work to

widen part of Jones Road, and accelerating footpath extensions.

The Council is proposing to reduce the level of increase in the General Rate from 6% (as forecast in the Long-Term Plan) to 3%. Overall the average rate rise per ratepayer in the 2016/17 year is approximately 4%, which is within the forecast level of less than 5% per year proposed in the Long-Term Plan.

Trust provides grant to Dunsandel Centre: The Council, as a Trustee of the Selwyn District Charitable Trust, approved a grant of $10,000 for the proposed Dunsandel Community Centre. This is additional to the $37,000 in donations for the Centre received during the July-December 2015 period.

Statements of Intent received: The Council received the draft

Statements of Intent for six Council-Controlled Organisations: Sicon Ltd, Orion NZ Ltd, Central Plains Water Trust, Selwyn District Charitable Trust, Tramway Reserve Trust and the Local Government Funding Agency.

The draft Statement of Intent from Orion forecasts an increased dividend payment from the 2016/17 year.

Earthquake repairs update: The Council received a report on repairs being undertaken as part of the recovery process from the earthquake on September 4th, 2010. It was noted that headstone repairs have now been completed at South Malvern (Glentunnel) cemetery.

Other repairs recently completed included the refurbishment of Glentunnel Library and landscaping of the former Doyleston Memorial Library site.

This month I will be looking at skin health and what we need to do to achieve healthy, glowing, more youthful looking skin.

Have you found yourself trying every skincare product or supplement on the market and still not getting 100% of the results you had hoped for?

What if we consider our skin being a reflection of what is happening on the inside?

Our skin requires many nutrients to be healthy, to heal efficiently and to prevent premature ageing.

Conversely, dull, lifeless, inflamed or spotty skin means your body simply isn’t getting enough of these essential vitamins and minerals. Some of these nutrients can be obtained from what we eat, while others are more difficult for our bodies to source or process, and are best supplemented.

Bestow Beauty from Beneath is a multi mineral and vitamin formula designed to provide key nutrients for collagen production, promote enzyme action and help skin cells remain energetic and regenerate. As an added bonus, it also powerfully supports the body’s immune system and can also help inhibit both viral and bacterial exposure.

Essential fatty acids also play a vital role in skin health. In a modern diet these are often lacking and our bodies are unable to produce them itself - which is a shame, as we need them for healthy skin, hair, nails, wound healing and immunity; to name but a few! Stress, being run down or unwell, can hinder absorption of EFA’s; taking Bestow Beauty Oil Plus you will be provided with primary and secondary EFA’s. It ensures your body is efficiently processing and absorbing nutrients and minerals, as well as aiding in improved lipid levels in our skin (hydration).

These are just two products from the wonderful range Bestow has to offer, all of which are available at Bloom Beauty Boutique. You can visit www.bestowbeauty.co.nz to learn more or pop into Bloom and I will be more than happy to assist.

Check in here on the first Friday of each month for more beauty tips and education!

Heath Minchington was born in Darfield, raised in Christchurch, and moved back to the area several years ago, as his partner is born and bred here.

Heath has been an electrician for almost twenty years and specialises in security - everything from alarms and cameras to automated gates.

Having embraced the Selwyn/Darfield lifestyle, Heath felt it an opportune me to start up in business and offer his clients the benefit of his years of experience and exper se.

“I like doing a good job to a standard that pleases both myself and the customer,” Heath commented, “and while being self employed offers me a li>le more flexibility with my work/life ra o, it’s more about listening to the customer and fulfilling their requirements.

“Client sa sfac on is paramount and I am going to enjoy having the flexibility and authority to bring together a customer’s request. My business will be fully customer focussed and while I will enjoy crea ng a good reputa on for myself and my work, rather than a company that employs me, I will never lose track of that focus.

“There are of course personal benefits to embarking upon se ng up in business; I’m looking forward to being able to use equipment and parts that I trust and have confidence in, and I’m also looking forward to being able to more easily schedule preferred work and the days that it’s undertaken.

“I’m looking forward to being able to work in the community in which I live (I currently work in Christchurch) - and to mee ng new people in the district,” Heath concluded.

Darfield Preschool & Nursery are always looking to enhance the environment, both indoors and out. Just recently a number of Hebes were planted in the playground area with the vision of providing a greater amount of flora to reflect the Centre’s connections with nature and to allow the children to enjoy nurturing plant growth.

In December the children at Preschool entered the local Christmas Tree making c o m pe t it io n a n d w e re delighted to be informed they were the winners of the junior section.

The prize was a choice of gift voucher to be spent at any local business. With the environment and connections with nature being at the forefront of the Centre’s philosophy an outdoor butterfly plaque was purchased from the Darfield Garden Centre. It is now displayed in the children’s playground for all to enjoy.

Meg McDonald & Indiana Carroll-Purdney stand under the new butterfly plaque at Darfield Preschool & Nursery.

Property Inspections Looming large on the Darfield skyline is the prominent scaffolding cocooning St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church on the corner of Cardale Street and Telegraph Road. Often referred to as the ‘Blue Church’ the building has been a sanctuary and landmark feature in Darfield for nearly eighty years and is finally being restored to its pre-earthquake glory.

The Roman Catholic Church has however not always been the blue, cement clad tribute to gothic architecture seen today.

The history of a community parish based in Darfield officially dates back to 1888 but there is strong evidence of a lively Catholic community in Malvern from the 1870’s. The first original church built in Darfield was a modest wooden building which cost £278 to build and £67/8s to furnish. The Church of the Holy Angels was officially opened, debt free in October 1880. The church was built on a two acre section which was donated by Mr Maxwell of Racecourse Hill. Before the church was built, Mass was held in various Roads Board or Railway buildings.

Prior to this, the area was serviced infrequently by priests from the Leeston area.

The Church of Holy Angel’s following continued to grow over the years and tended to 300 families over a seventy mile stretch of growing railway lines.

Disaster struck when the church burnt to the ground on a Saturday night in 1935. The Church of Holy Angels was reduced to ashes in less than an hour and to this day, no one is certain what caused the fire. The local volunteer fire brigade were all at the Darfield picture theatre, enjoying some leisure time when the fire began.

Unfortunately, despite the firefighter’s rapid response and only a slight easterly breeze, they

Pictured above: St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church preearthquake is almost restored again to its former glory. could not save the building.

Following this disaster the current ‘blue church’ was built. Built with reinforced concrete and buff coloured cement - the cement was coloured blue to resemble bluestone. Blue Welsh slates were used on the roof and the interior seated 350 people and was adorned with beautifully carved Rimu. It took only eighteen months to complete the building which was then named after St Joseph.

Bishop Brodie opened the church officially on October 11th, 1936 and it was definitely a project dear to his heart, as he had donated £8,000 towards the build.

St Joseph’s has served the whole Malvern community well since then, having stood strong and prominent in the Darfield township.

However the September 2010 earthquake took its toll, shaking the building, damaging its foundations and causing extensive damage. Cracks were clearly visible from the outside of the church and have been a constant reminder of the devastation caused by the seismic activity.

The blue is a little paler now but once the repairs have been completed St Josephs will again be returned to its former glory.

The extended Church site is also the final resting place of many

local families and a stroll through the cemetery will reveal the names of the foundation members of the parish, with a surprising number of their descendants still active in the community today.

The scaffolding is expected to be removed shortly - when the painting has been completed. After this, there will be some minor repairs to the dark grey roof and the building will be fully restored and ready for use.

Plans are afoot for St Joseph’s to celebrate an eightieth anniversary celebration later this year.

The North Canterbury Rural Support Trust is very much in full swing at present owing to climatic and economic conditions.

“While the Drought has been mainly centred round the Hurunui area, all our Trust area is included as being a ‘Drought Declared Event’,” said Trust Chairman Doug Archbold.

Archbold What this means is that any farming business who has run at a loss for this farming year could qualify for the Rural Assistance Payment

Page 11

(RAP). Particularly in areas where there is no irrigation, or where irrigation rights of supply may have been disrupted by the drought.

For anyone meeting this criteria it’s as simple as phoning 0800 787 254 and asking to be transferred to a North Canterbury contact person. From the phone call it can be ascertained as to whether qualification criteria is met. It is only available while this ‘Drought Event’ is current, which presently runs to June 23rd, 2016.

Where an event is an ‘Economic’ one, it is out of the hands of Government interven on.

‘Clima c’ events are treated differently.

This can be discussed with any of the Rural Support team in Selwyn. There are five such people who can advise about the difference and they are willing to discuss by phoning directly:

• Richard Friedman Dairy, Sheep & Beef • Tim Cookson Sheep, Dairying & Cropping • Kathryn vanden Beuken Dairying • Lois BirkeU Grains.

• Lyn Zuppicich Personal & Home Front Issues.

All discussions with The North Canterbury Rural Support Trust are treated in absolute confidence.

0800 787 254 (0800 RURAL HELP) www.rural-support.org.nz

The other event concerning the Trust is the Dairy payout of $3-90 per kilogram and this will affect all dairy farmers from owners to lower order sharemilkers.

“We have found it is vital for the property owner and the sharemilker to work closely together at this time,” Doug said. “It is a partnership and it is absolutely vital that good communication be kept up,” he added.

“Recently high winds have also caused havoc resulting in out of control Fires, including those in the Selwyn area. It is a frightening experience for any family to endure.”

Darfield Cricket Coaches; Justin Paul and Rob Frew are understandably proud of their boys, not only for winning the Country South Section 1 final (which was held on March 19th), but for having such a consistently successful season and dropping just the one game.

The final was an impressive effort by the team with Darfield 161 for 0 off 30 overs, Jesse Gray 30, Cameron Paul 28, Jordy Frew 24, Robson Foulkes 20, Harley Gray 17, beat Tai Tapu 155 all out, Jordy Frew 3/15.

The Darfield Section Two Cricket Team also made it to the final in their grade after a great season and just missed out on a win by nine runs.

Darfield’s Section Four Team also did remarkably well, going the whole season with just one loss with some tough local competition to contend with.

Congratulations to Darfield and all local cricket teams on an outstanding effort this season.

Our family are overwhelmed by the bravery, commitment, action and skill of the countless men and women who dropped everything and laboured long and hard into the night to stop the devastating fires that erupted on Thursday, March 10th during the terrifying gale force winds.

Our hearts go out to the Knowles Family and the loss of their beloved family home and contents.

The volunteer fire brigades and helicopter pilots are truly heroic in the tireless way they put their lives at risk and their family life and jobs on hold as they slaved to control the unpredictable elements.

Thank you to farmers who had ponds or irrigation pipes that the helicopters could fill their monsoon buckets from.

Thank you to Fonterra for providing a tanker and trailer of water to help the Fire Service in their tremendous battle.

We are so indebted to so many kind and wonderful people.

At the completion of the 2015-16 season Malvern cricket can be satisfied with the result. With Canterbury Country looking to strengthen the top tier of Club cricket in the district, it introduced an eight team 45 over Premier competition. Both Greendale and South Malvern entered a team. Unfortunately Kirwee couldn't find enough regular players to put a team forward so those keen were loaned to the other two Clubs.

South Malvern can consider themselves unlucky not to make the semi finals, missing out on run rate after being level on points with Southbridge-Leeston, they had beaten all the teams above them and would have been worthy finalists.

Greendale struggled to consistently score enough runs and finished seventh.

The first few weekends of the new year were set side for a T20 tournament with two pools of four teams playing two games per day. Both Malvern teams played excellent cricket and had two wins each on the first weekend. South Malvern ticked up big scores, 275/3 against Southbridge-Leeston (Jared Kars 106*) and then 156/7 against Sefton.

Greendale defended 95 against Oxford then 209/3 (Blair Chapman 112*) against Weedons. Rain washed out the second weekend, so with Greendale and South Malvern top of their pools they were declared joint winners, a fantastic result for Malvern cricket.

Kirwee entered a team featuring the who's who of Malvern Cricket from the last twenty years for the Judd cup round and then hosted the final between Greendale and South Malvern, as well as the annual prize giving dinner.

Draw - 2nd April 2016 Not only is it not an April Fools’ joke, but the welcome return of NRL to Christchurch could see some lucky News readers score themselves freebie ckets to a>end!

The best rugby league compe on in the world is coming back to Christchurch in 2016 when the Penrith Panthers take on the New Zealand Warriors on May 14th, 2016. The round 10 match at AMI Stadium, will kick off at 5pm.

Panthers say they are delighted to be breaking new ground and will play a home fixture in the city for the next two NRL seasons, with an op on for another two years. Panthers Execu ve General Manager Phil Gould heralded the deal as a significant step in the growth and development of rugby league.

"Over the next four years we hope to build a strong rela onship with the area and have commi>ed ourselves to the promo on and development of rugby league through junior league and schools’ programmes.”

The Penrith Panthers have a raX of engagements planned for their Christchurch visit including Junior Skills Clinic, school visits and dinner engagements.

The forthcoming match is supported by the Christchurch City Council, with Mayor Lianne Dalziel welcoming the game’s return and commen ng that this is another big step in reclaiming the city’s pre-earthquake posi on as one of New Zealand’s top venues for major events.

“Christchurch is a city that loves our sport and we are proud to be hos ng the NRL and we want to commend the Penrith Panthers for commi ng their home games to Christchurch,” Lianne added.

2016 marks the fiXieth anniversary of the Penrith Panthers joining the NRL - the top professional Rugby League compe on in the world. The NRL was founded in 1998 when two rival Australian Rugby League and Super League compe ons, combined and is now the third largest sport in Australia, comprising of sixteen teams. The New Zealand Warriors, founded in 1995, and based at Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland are the only NRL team from outside Australia. In their seventeen seasons in the NRL they have achieved: One minor premiership (2002), two grand final appearances (2002 and 2011) and seven play-off appearances, as well as providing the majority of Kiwis na onal team players.

This Province has a long history in the sport with Canterbury Rugby League founded in 1912 and 148 teams currently par cipa ng in weekly compe on, so it’s not surprising that fans from around Australia and New Zealand have jumped at the opportunity of securing ckets to see the NRL in Christchurch.

For News readers who’d like the chance of geWng to the game, email us at NRL@malvernnews.co.nz and tell us how many teams from outside of Australia play in the NRL - put the answer in the subject line and please include your details in the email.

Entries need to be received by April 12th and there are two double passes up for grabs and one Family (four) pass - please state your preference.

A great night was had by all at the recent quiz night hosted by the Darfield Tennis Club and quiz masters Rob and Jane Potts. 13 teams competed for the first pick of the prize pool, kindly donated by our generous sponsors (see below).

First were “The Thespians” (Kirwee Players), very closely followed by the “We R Still Thinking” from Sheffield and close behind them were the “Weedon’s Wizards”.

The teams enjoyed a great supper, then after the quiz some live music from Liz Nichol.

The Darfield Tennis Club would like to thank the other Malvern Tennis Clubs for their support and of course the commercial community who donated prizes.

This has become an annual event for the club, so if you missed out, make sure you get in early for registration next year.
