On July 2nd, in Auckland’s St Patrick’s Cathedral, Darfield’s Michelle Kittelty took part in an investiture service which saw her admitted to the Order of St John and meet with the New Zealand Governor General, Sir Jerry Mateparae who officiated as the Queen’s representative at the ceremony. Michelle has given twenty seven years of voluntary service to St John and is well known for her continued contribution to Malvern’s St John. She is an active ambulance officer, as well as Assistant Divisional Youth Manager for St John Cadets. St John has its own honours system and through it, they recognise and reward the hard work and service of their members, by admitting or promoting them to the Order of St John. St John Honours are sanctioned by Her Majesty The Queen, Sovereign Head of the Most Venerable Order of St John and are an independent part of the New Zealand Royal
Honours System. Individuals have their honour officially conferred at the Investiture ceremony, presided over by His Excellency The Governor General (who is the Prior of St John in New Zealand - the head of St John in New Zealand). Individuals are not officially members of the Order of St John until conferred at an Investiture. These are the Order's most important ceremonies as they bring in new Members so that the Order is sustained long-term. Two Investiture services are held a year, one in each Island. This was the biggest investiture ever, to be held, with 58 taking part. It was also the last official engagement for New Zealand’s Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae before he retires from the appointment. To be admitted to the Order of St John, an individual is nominated by his or her peers for: • dedicated service including the quality of contribution
ISSUE 751 Friday 15th July 2016
• successful leadership • the potential for
future leadership or administration. Above all, those admitted to the Order have shown conspicuous work for St John in helping carry out its mission in New Zealand: to prevent and relieve sickness and injury, and to act to enhance the health and wellbeing of people of all races and creeds. There are several grades within the Order of St John. Individuals are usually admitted as Members of the Order and
may be promoted to a higher Grade dependent on their ongoing contribution. St John’s has unbroken links back to the medieval Order of St John, and was established as a Royal Order of Chivalry in 1888. An order of chivalry is best described as a group of people sworn by a set of rules to provide Christian care for the sick and the poor. More information on St John’s history, can be found at www.stjohn.org.nz/About-StJohn/History.

ACROSS THE STREET ACROSS THE WORLD THE BEST MOVES ARE MADE WITH GRACE
Monday June 27th saw pupils of the Darfield branch of Take Control Limited, Karate Club hold their technical gradings. Junior gradings take place over a two week time frame with the technical part an opportunity for students to exhibit their technical skills and specific formal moves they need for the move up to the next grade. On Monday, July 4th Darfield karate pupils were tested for the physical part of their grading, covering their fitness, fighting and pushups. This saw them doing thirty minutes of non stop exercise, followed by some strength challenges, before fighting fifteen or so seniors in a mixture of fun but challenging sparring and finally they finish with one hundred push ups! After the presentation of the certificates Hayden Wilmott of Take Control Limited and Head Instructor Canterbury-Buller Goju Ryu Karate Federation handed out a big trophy to the most improved Karataka with their name engraved on it. The recipient gets to retain this for six months, until the next grading takes place. At this grading Darfield’s Kyan Simon, who moved up to a green belt, was the deserved recipient of the trophy. At Take Control’s Burnham classes, the same grading in technical took place on June 28th while July 5th saw pupils undertake their physical test. Sophie Parker achieved her yellow belt at Burnham and took home the most improved

Our Burnham premises (the Community Centre) have become too small and so at the start of term three we will relocate to the new West Rolleston School Hall. This will allow the class to grow - as it currently has a waiting list to join.” “On Saturday, July 2nd, we held grading for seniors, from all my different Clubs,” Hayden added,

July 2nd also saw 35 of Hayden’s students depart to Okinawa, the home of karate, to train at the headquarters of their style Goju Ryu - this is called the Jundokan. “We will be training with some masters of Karate, 9th and 10th level black belts for ten days,” Hayden said. “These are some of the best and most well respected, traditional, Karate instructors in the world,” he finished.

Lois Johnston became a friend and part of St Johns in Hororata when she brought her singing students out to the Church to learn and perform, as their venues in town had been ruined in the Earthquakes. Lois and her team have given the area several concerts and now she is returning to give a spectacular evening of operatic music on August 2nd. Lois’ magnificent coloratura soprano and huge range make this concert one that should not be missed. She is accompanied by Jeremy Woodside at the piano. Jeremy has held posts at

The winners of the New Zealand Association of Event Professionals (NZAEP) annual awards will be named at a gala dinner at the Auckland Museum on August 4th. Balloons over Wa i k ato w on th e b e st community event last year. Hororata has made the finals for the Highland Games, definitely a traditional Scottish affair with a Kiwi twist and the only event in the South Island offering all the traditional Scottish competitions. The Games were established as the main fundraiser for the Hororata Community Trust to help rebuild and promote the community after the September 2010 earthquake struck and damaged or destroyed many of the community’s facilities. The Games attracted 9,000 people last year and Judges commented that the Hororata Highland Games had excellent community engagement and produced very good financial results. Other finalists are from Christchurch, Turangi and Auckland. NZAEP chief executive Vicki W atson commented the community events attracted the most entries and provided one of the toughest competitions. NZAEP was set up ten years ago to advocate for the burgeoning events industry in New Zealand. The annual awards celebrate the best of the best events in New Zealand. The Hororata Highland Games is proud to have been selected as
a finalist in the Best Community Event category of the New Zealand Event Awards. This is a wonderful achievement and great recognition of all the hard work that everyone puts into making the Games a success.
As a 2016 NZ Event Awards’ finalist, the Games could be voted New Zealand’s Favourite Event! A public poll, hosted by Eventfinda, will decide the winner and so they need News readers’ votes - voting closes on July 19th.

More than sixty years ago the South Malvern Schools District Endowment Plantation scheme was established by Darfield, Glentunnel, Greendale, Homebush and Hororata Primary Schools. This scheme consisted of two forestry blocks in the Coalgate During this time the trees were area. Over the years pupils from harvested and replanted, with the contributing schools were the schools benefitting from this actively involved in the planting, process. pruning and care of these trees. The windstorms in 2013 did a significant amount of damage to the main Coalgate Block and this resulted in the entire block being felled. Having an empty block, the committee sought legal advice on the future of the scheme. The original purpose of the scheme is no longer applicable
to the current curriculum, and the new health and safety legislation is incompatible with having children working on the forestry blocks. Recently the schools decided unanimously to wind up this entity and relinquish their ‘right to use’ this land back to the Ministry of Education. The four schools would like to acknowledge the work the late James Deans did in administering this committee.

The Central Plains Water Limited (CPWL) Board are pleased to advise that the recent Product Disclosure Statement (Share Offer) has been well supported with 80% uptake and work is now underway to define the final scheme design. Shareholders have given a high level of commitment to the scheme despite the current economic conditions which may have

reduced the level of uptake that some Shareholders would have preferred to commit to. The uptake from the offer is expected to be 16,000 Shares spread over a 20,000 ha irrigated area which is very close to the same outcome as the CPWL Stage 1 Prospectus achieved.

the scheme to economically service land covered by the applications is underway. CPWL is also considering whether further capacity should be included in the design but this will only occur where the cost of that capacity is viable and enhances the current Shareholders position. CPWL has now entered negotiations with the preferred contractor to refine the design and construction costs and agree a Construction Contract. This process is expected to take about three months with a start date for construction targeted around the end of 2016. Stage 2 of the Scheme will also provide tangible environmental benefits by replacing current ground water abstraction with river water so that lowland streams, Te Waihora and Lake Ellesmere have increased flows. It also offers the opportunity to enhance lowland stream flows and water quality by discharging clean river water into those streams. “Shareholders are congratulated for the commitment they have made to the future of the district,” said a CPWL spokesperson.

The Kirwee Tennis Club will celebrate its 130th Jubilee at Labour Weekend, October 22nd and 23rd, 2016. The Tennis Club, first formed on October 1st 1886, features amongst some of the oldest tennis clubs in New Zealand, with Parnell 1872, Clyde 1877 and Taieri 1883 being a few from the same era. The Domain Board passed a letter of request from the Kirwee Tennis Club to form tennis grounds at the northwest corner of the Kirwee Domain. The Board went further and offered what was then a very generous five pounds, on the condition
that the Club supplied an equivalent sum. This amount provided the two tennis courts that formed the Kirwee Tennis Club. The Club moved to the present site in 1936 where two new courts were opened, along with a small, but quaint, pavilion where afternoon tea still takes place today. In 1974, the third and fourth tennis courts were added at a cost of $1,800 - a far cry from the earlier five pounds. Courts One and Two had to be reconstructed and a new top added to courts Three and Four in 1991, at a cost of some

$9,000. Various court surfaces were tried, with this being the start of the green and red surround, Plexipave era. Some will remember how ‘quick and slippery’ court three was, as this was just painted green. The Club was certainly looking great around this time and the demand for more tennis courts continued. The Kirwee Domain Reserve Board gave approval to remove the cedar trees between court four and the netball court around 1993. The driveway was repositioned to the current western end of the netball court and inclusion of a new court five and resurface of court six (netball court) was completed in asphalt, in 1995. Courts five and six were dual purpose with both tennis and netball lines. Because of the great facilities the Club was now hosting a number of Representative and other fixtures each season. Court maintenance was always ongoing with a new Plexipave coating for courts one, two and four in 2001 and a replacement of the of the ‘slippery’ court three to bring it into line with the other courts. The runbacks of courts one to four were extended at this time. Also around this time in 2002, courts five and six were resurfaced with a dual use (netball and tennis) Plexipave, at a cost of some $20,000. The next court maintenance was due around 2010 and following the earthquakes this was planned for all six courts. It was decided to dig out the old concrete section foundations of court six which had been causing surface cracking. The netball club assisted with the digging out funding. All six courts were then coated in Synpave blue (the US Open colour) with a new green surround on courts one to four at a total cost of around $92,000.

...continued from previous page. playing for the Browning Shield. representative matches over During the 1960s the Kirwee Tennis Club enjoyed its most successful period in the Malvern district competition, where two of its A Grade teams, entered in the Malvern A Grade competition, finished first and second. The Kirwee Tennis Club has won the Malvern A Grade tennis cup 33 times since competitions began in 1926 with today’s A grade teams Kirwee Gold and Kirwee Black having added to the total. Kirwee has always had strong representation at Malvern level
The shield looks remarkably similar to rugby’s ‘Log of Wood’ and is keenly vied for by the rural districts of North Canterbury, Hurunui, Ellesmere, Banks Peninsula, Mid Canterbury, West Coast and Malvern. In latter years some districts have combined. In 1969 the Malvern team included nine players from Kirwee out of the total sixteen. According to one of the Club members, Malcolm Begg, Begg the Club is still one of the strongest in Malvern, and has hosted a number of Browning Shield
Since 1966 the Kirwee Tennis Club has an annual exchange match (home and away) with the Paroa Tennis Club from the West Coast. The match was hatched as a result of the relationship built between Richie Gibbens (Paroa) and Murray Wilson (Kirwee) during the many meetings they had when Malvern and West Coast clashed in representative tennis. Richie loved competition and told Murray that if he gave him one of his sheep dog pups, Richie would train the pup, then come and beat him at the sheep dog trials as well as the tennis! So it became tennis club versus tennis club. Not thinking this would last more than a couple of years both would be pleased and surprised at its longevity and seeing the friendships, fun and frolics grow between the two clubs. Today the Clubs play for a tennis trophy, gumboot throw trophy, junior trophy and a sportsmanship trophy, twice a year and this is the fiftieth year of competition between the two.
the years. The Kirwee Tennis Club, which currently boasts 31 seniors and 65 juniors, will begin its 130th Jubilee with welcome drinks at the Tennis pavilion on Labour weekend’s Friday night followed by Saturday social tennis. There’s a chance to see exhibition doubles later in the day featuring some former Davis Cup players, before a dinner in the Kirwee Community Hall takes place in the evening. The guest speaker for the dinner event will be John Doyle, Doyle former Detective Inspector and the first New Zealand police officer to be based in China. John also played tennis for Paroa against Kirwee in their annual fixtures. The Club’s oldest member will cut the Jubilee cake and a plaque will be unveiled by the oldest male Club member. Celebrations will conclude with the Club’s annual match against the Paroa Tennis Club on Sunday - further information can be found on: www.sportsground.co.nz/ kirweetennis

DEADLINE
10am TUESDAY
When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just ge ng ready to get into the shower. She said, "Mummy, you are ge ng fat!" I replied, "Yes, honey, remember Mummy has a baby growing in her tummy." "I know," she replied, but what's growing in your behind?" One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't dear," she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy's room." A long silence was broken at last by his shaky liJle voice: "The big sissy."
