Tune in from August 4th on Maori TV to see how two talented local dancers fare in their quest not only for national recognition, but also for a share in a $50,000 prize pool.

Local dancers Soph Kingi and Manaia Davies have entered and competed in New Zealand’s first ever kapa haka based talent show (the only dancers from the South Island to do so)!

The show blends the old and the new from jazz to capoeira, ballet, hip-hop or hula, and is aptly entitled ‘The Stage - Haka Fusion’.

Local entrants Manaia and Soph have joined forces to create an independent, collaborative duo that is not attached to a specific dance studio or teacher.

The duo named ‘Living Proof’ (thanks to Manaia’s dad!) are responsible for their own outfits, music and choreograph their own routines.

Soph at thirteen years old, has been dancing since she was four years old. Initially starting locally with Leisa Ropiha before dance instructor Tara Marshall

taught the keen young student her first Hip Hop; Jump Jam success at school followed.

Soph has, for the past two years, been attending SWARM Studios (formerly known as Moorhouse Dance Studio) and appreciates the support they’ve given her. Cont on page 3…

The 2016 season of Kirwee Players’ Oliver is about to start with the largest cast they have ever had. Fifty seven strong this year, with the youngest member eight and the eldest seventy seven! The show about an orphaned boy, Oliver Twist, on the grubby streets of London, meeting and joining a gang of pick pockets but finding out he

may really belong somewhere else, is sure to enchant audiences. While the likelihood of knowing someone in the cast of primarily Selwyn residents is very high indeed, this year something quite exceptional has happened. Involved in the show are thirteen families from the area, one of which has three generations all teaming up

together. For many this is their first time on stage and to share that with another member of their family is really special.

Tickets for Oliver are selling fast and one show has completely sold out already!

This young performer has a natural talent for dancing which, teamed with her sassy attitude makes for a winning combination. Eleven year old Manaia possesses a skill and maturity beyond her years and she previously attended SWARM Studios also. Maniaia now teaches junior hip hop at Danzfit in Springfield and Cool Kids Play Hard in Halswell.

When this duo attended the New Zealand Dance Awards (NZDA) earlier this year, they achieved outstanding, and very rare, high marks. Training for these awards and blending Maori aspects into their choreography for the first time, ignited a desire to continue incorporating these traditional movements in future routines.

Adding their own style of Hip Hop has created something totally fresh and unique.

Something that has seen the pair compete against the best in ‘The

Stage - Haka Fusion’.

Manaia and Soph auditioned for The Stage on July 10th and got through to the first heats which were held last weekend. Viewers at home are guaranteed to see the good, the bad and the uncoordinated as they are taken right through from the auditions to the grand finale. The public will also get the chance to keep their favourite in the competition, with a people’s choice vote held for

the semi-finals.

“A lot of people have helped equip Soph and Manaia with the skill and knowledge they needed for this talent show. A special thank you to Leisa Rohipa for the use of her studio and to Ani Merito, Merle Williams and Anania Tawhi for their mentoring and input,” said the girls’ grateful mothers.

Malvern Community Vehicle Trust (MCVT) was formally incorporated as a Not For Profit Society on May 5th, 2015 and subsequently received Charitable status CC52255.

The Trust have sought to offer the people of Malvern District a transport service that enables, in the most part, elderly people to remain in their own homes and within current support networks. They also support beneficiaries getting to WINZ appointments in town, and are looking at ways to support migrant workers and spouses with transport to ESOL classes.

We are very grateful to COGs, Lotteries, Malvern Community Board and Environment Canterbury for their support via

grants, to allow us to get established.

MCVT owns two vehicles, a van that runs fortnightly shopping trips for anyone in the community, and a car that is used in various ways, among which is the transportation of people to Darfield Medical appointments, or hospital appointments in Christchurch.

The car is used frequently and at times volunteer drivers must use their own cars, as the MCVT car is in use elsewhere.

We may need to purchase a second car.

We remain grateful for the support from our volunteer drivers, without which we could not offer this service.

I also want to acknowledge the service and hard work of our

Trust Board members.

Kathy Stirrup, Stirrup (secretary), Denise Reynolds, Reynolds Ian Warren, Warren John Anderson and Errol Ashby. While last, but definitely not least, Tony Henderson from Ecan who has helped us enormously with getting underway and advice gleaned from his vast experience with setting up other vehicle Trusts around Canterbury.

In offering this service to the community, we have transported 130 people, travelling over 3,515kms in the last financial year. We hope to see this service used more extensively as we become better known.

None of these things are achieved without stable, strong, leadership.

“I believe that with my extensive business and community leadership roles I am in a position to offer this to Selwyn and I seek your support in running for the mayoralty,” Pat concluded.

Sunday, August 7th will see bargain hunters again flock to Oxford for what has become not only a mammoth opportunity for garage sale-ing, but also a wonderful day out in the picturesque country township.

The event is an extravaganza of new, recycled, second hand and vintage treasures, odds and ends, plus local business stalls.

There are forty plus sites registered around the town for this year’s event.

The Great Oxford Garage Sale Trail has been a great success for six years now and this year is bound to be no exception.

Everyone, whether they admit it or not, loves to fossick around at garage sales looking for a bargain, or a special find, and this is the ideal opportunity to

Oxford hopes to be inundated with bargain hunters on August 7th for the township’s Great Garage Sale Trail. do so - and all on one day!

The Great Garage Sale Trail is based in and around Oxford and runs from 9am until 2pm.

Maps will be available from either end of the town on Main Street from 9am until 11am, as well as from the Oxford Promotions Information Tent by the Farmers’ Market Carpark from 9am, until the maps run out. A coin donation at the map collection points would be appreciated by organisers to assist with defraying the costs of running the event.

The Farmers’ Market and associated Craft Market will also be open on the day.

The Garage Sale Trail idea came initially from a community member six years ago; and the Oxford Promotions Action Committee took up the idea. It was seen as an event to bring visitors into the town so they could experience just what

Oxford town has to offer.

“Each year, the Trail has brought hundreds into our town and this year should be no different,” commented Shirley Farrell, Farrell from the Oxford Promotions Action Committee (OPAC) who organise the event.

“It’s not only great for buyers and sellers at the garage sales, it’s also good for all businesses in Oxford. It brings people from all around Canterbury to our town,” Shirley added.

After the Trail, guests are able to explore Oxford further and browse through the book, gift and boutique shops, relax in a cafe, select and taste fresh produce and food from the Farmers Market and wander through the Oxford Art Gallery and Museum.

The second Soul Jam holistic and spiritual event was even more amazing than the first, according to those who were there! Topping the previous year for attendance; visitors came from as far away as Oamaru and lots of places in-between. A large number of people made the event an all-day outing to make the most of the spiritual, holistic and health expo. Held at the West Melton Community Centre over the weekend of July 16-17th, happy attendees commented on the warmth - both temperaturewise and in atmosphere.

Soul Jam’s growth in popularity this year was reflected in the huge interest shown previous to the event, as well as in the number of people through the doors.

“It was wonderful to see everyone with a smile on their faces when they left. For quite a number it was their first time at such an event and they were fascinated by some of the modalities offered. Others who had attended similar events commented on the ‘feel’ of it and the high standard of practitioners,” enthused Sue Jones, Jones one of the driving forces behind the event. There was a distinctly local feel to Soul Jam with most practitioners hailing from around the immediate area - Coalgate and Sheffield through to Leeston and Templeton and everywhere in-between. There was so much interest from practitioners that a waiting list had to be created. Sue advises anyone interested, to get in early next year with stall bookings, so as to avoid disappointment.

Each stall was a lot busier than anticipated with various psychic

readers imparting wisdom, free talks and demonstrations, which gave the audience the opportunity to learn something new, along with a fantastic array of items available to purchase.

“It was wonderful to see the public fully embracing the areas they were interested in, and just what these areas of interest were. It was great to see so many people receiving treatments and trying something different to help heal their ailments,” Sue added.

painting. She was kept busy for the entire session and not just with children. After seeing the high quality of her work, a number of adults walked out considerably more colourful than when they walked in!

“Soul Jam was a fabulous event and the practitioners and public cannot be thanked enough for bringing it all together in such a way (it is after all a partnership between both). It was wonderful to see everyone become so uplifted and inspired and we’re all looking forward to next time,” Sue concluded.

A huge advantage of running a winter-time event such as this, is that this one is held indoors, so is not weather dependent.

They also had the chance to spend some time with one of the pilots, as well as have a good look around the chopper.

Last Saturday, July 23rd saw a field of twenty seven ploughman, along with three horse teams, compete in the Courtenay Paparua Ploughing competition. Held in unseasonably warm, nonwinter-like conditions, complete with strong Nor West winds, ground as hard as concrete and a mild temperature, certainly was a change to a mid-July ploughing match which usually has frost on the ground.

Recent economic data indicates Selwyn’s economy continued to perform strongly in the first quarter of 2016.

The latest Infometrics Quarterly Economic Monitor reports that Selwyn’s GDP grew by 3.6% in the year to March 2016 - well ahead of Canterbury’s average of 0.8% and the New Zealand average of 2.3%. Selwyn’s GDP had an estimated value of $1.8 billion.

“Selwyn is bucking the trend that is occurring in other parts of Canterbury where a tapering off of residential rebuilding work and losses in the dairy sector are constraining growth,” said Infometrics Senior Economist, Benje Patterson.

“In contrast, Selwyn is reaping the benefits of expanding industrial zones and logistical infrastructure within its district boundaries to the south of Christchurch.”

Retail trade is also booming in the district and is up by 9.3% for the year to March 2016 on the previous year. Canterbury

retail trade grew by 1.2% and national trade grew by 2.8%.

Retail trade figures are sourced from Marketview from electronic card spending and show that $66 million was spent in Selwyn in the January-March 2016 period.

Unemployment continues to be low in the district at 2.1%, with little change from the previous year where 2.1% unemployment was recorded. The national unemployment rate for the year to March 2016 was 5.7% and for Canterbury 3.5%.

Local accommodation providers have also had a busy year with the number of guest nights stayed in Selwyn increasing by 11% for the year to March 2016. Visitors stayed a total of 96,608 nights in Selwyn in this period, up from 87,282 for the previous year. Nationally, guest nights increased by 5.8% in the year to March 2016, with the report citing the growth being due to sharp increases in international visitor numbers, combined with an increase in

domestic tourism.

International migration in Selwyn also jumped by 76% with 367 new international migrants moving to the district in the year to March 2016, up from 203 arrivals for the year to March 2015.

Residential building consent numbers for the year were unchanged from the previous year.

The value of nonresidential construction consents increased by 13% with consents having an estimated value of $109 million.

The report indicates Selwyn’s dairy payout for the 2015/16 season is expected to be $275 million, $16.6 million lower than the previous season.

“At this level, most dairy farmers will be running below their breakeven point. Given these losses, dairy farmers will have to keep relying heavily on bank credit lines and will continue displaying cautious spending behaviour,” concluded Benje.

Event organisers thank their sponsors, committee and competitors who all had an enjoyable time despite the challenging wind. They make special mention of Simon Reed, Reed who allowed them the use of his paddock for the event and look forward to seeing everyone back for Simon Reed concentrates on the task in hand - the ploughing competition took place in one of his paddocks this year.

• Motorcycle/ATV Friday, July 8th saw the Bayliss Lounge in the Lincoln Event Centre transformed into a thriving space for budding musicians. The open mic night, organised by Kusal Ekanayake, a member of the Selwyn Youth Council, was a huge success and saw nine different acts showcase their talents throughout the evening.

The event came about after members of the 2016 Selwyn Youth Council were encouraged to construct and organise a youth centric event based around a personal passion. “One of my major passions is music, so it made sense to organise a music based event. With the help of the Ministry of the Mind Music (in particular, my mentor Duncan Sole) and the support of the Selwyn Youth Council, we were able to bring together the equipment, venue and youth to run this first ever Selwyn Youth Open Mic night locally,” enthused organiser, Kusal. The night saw a mix of bands all consisting of local youth, under the age of 24 and ranging from slam poetry through to incredible jazz.

On Saturday, September 10th, 250 riders will attempt to conquer the Southern Alps by riding 250 gruelling kilometres Coast-to-Coast from Christchurch to Hokitika on 50cc scooters, to raise funds for the New Zealand Cancer Society.

The annual event was created in 2009 by Rangiora locals Jayne and Mike Rattray after Mike’s friend and colleague, Blair Newton was diagnosed with late stage bowel cancer at just 32 years of age.

The scooter safari concept started small and has escalated over the past five years into a massive event which has so far raised over $600,000 for the Cancer Society, Canterbury-West Coast Division.

Registrations are currently underway with 190 participants confirmed - leaving just sixty spots remaining.

“This is not a race for the faint hearted - it is designed to be the coldest, longest, hardest, most grueling and

uncomfortable test of endurance on a city scooter to raise money and awareness for cancer sufferers,” Jayne commented.

Riders need not be motorcycle enthusiasts - just passionate about supporting a great cause. Participants only require a driver’s licence to ride a moped, and riders can enter as an individual or a team of up to five, which is great for corporate team building, or getting the whole family involved!

“If you are interested in riding we would love to have you onboard! We would really appreciate any support you could give to our event whether it be to ride, sponsor, donate or spectate. Every year we hear from would-be riders via social media saying, ‘I wish we’d known sooner as we’d love to have participated’ … so here’s your chance!” Jayne added.

Visit www.scootersafari.co.nz for further information.

N umero us l ocal s h ave participated, with varying degrees of completion in previous events and it’s hoped many will join in again this time too. After exiting the city the first stop is The Famous Sheffield Pie Shop, before heading up Porters Pass to Lake Lyndon. Lunch at Arthur's Pass and down the treacherous Otira Viaduct to the last regroup at the Kumara Racecourse, then heading into Hokitika to finish up outside the Beachfront Hotel at around 4:30pm.

Tippett This is Selwyn’s second Have a Go Day - the first event was held in June 2015 at Lincoln Event Centre and attracted over 2,000 people.

Ashleigh Cridge from Malvern U15 Rep team playing against Selwyn U15.

On Sunday, July 24th Malvern Netball Centre played host at the annual Canterbury Country Field Day Netball Tournament held on the Lincoln Netball Courts. Canterbury Country Netball consists of teams from Malvern, North Canterbury, Selwyn, Kaikoura and Hurunui Centres. The Centres play against each other in rounds

throughout the day with the emerging winner of the main trophy decided by points gained, divided by the number of teams competing.

Malvern had teams participate in the Senior, U15, Primary A and Primary B grades and although Malvern teams weren’t grade winners they exhibited some outstanding netball on the day.

Crea ve Colouring is a craze that has really caught people’s imagina on and as we at Garden Club like to keep up with things, thought we would have a go.

Cynthia Bishell and Kate Campbell, two of our members, arranged the a?ernoon for us. Stencils, pens and pencils were supplied and we were all encouraged to par cipate. The idea of colour crea on is one which appeals to gardeners and colour can make two similar gardens look en rely different from each other. To help us with our efforts, Cynthia who is a library assistant, arranged for us to borrow a selec on of books from the shelves. The books were varied and allowed us to use our imagina ons to full poten al. As we did not have much else on the agenda for the mee ng, we spent an hour with pencils in hand, crea ng some wonderful results. Members were able to enjoy the a?ernoon whilst cha ng and catching up with friends. A very social a?ernoon, much enjoyed. Thanks to the Darfield Library for the loan of the books and to Cynthia and Kate for all their efforts. Our new programme was available and members went home to see what we had arranged for the next twelve months. Thanks must go to Carol Williams, our Secretary, for all her hard work in preparing the programme for prin ng. Next month is our last Winter mee ng, Spring is just around the corner, so we will be busy again outdoors. Keep warm, happy days.

Pat Newmarch

This year the tournament was won by North Canterbury, with Selwyn as runners-up.

Malvern Rep Co-ordinator, Vanessa Moore delighted in the talent on display at the tournament. “All the Malvern teams played extremely well and there really are some talented players in the local area; it was great to see them in action.”

This weekend Malvern will host Phase One of the Mainland Netball Under 15 Tournament at the Darfield courts.

FOR REMOVAL THE MALVERN NEWS BUILDING We’ve loved our cute liQle building and it’s served us well however the owners of the site we occupy want it gone and so it needs a new home. We’ve found our new home (we’re crossing to the other side - literally - and going into the ex Farmlands Real Estate office, next to the Bakery).

Our liQle building is approx 50m2 , would be a one piece shiZ - make a fabulous accommoda on annexe, holiday home, studio, or office. There’s lots of history aQached and we don’t want to see it destroyed.

Anyone moving it must also leave the site clear.

DEADLINE

10am TUESDAY

The school holiday was over and young Jack returned to school. Only two days later his teacher phoned his mother to tell her that Jack was misbehaving.

'Wait a minute,' mother said. 'I had Jack with me for two weeks and I never called you once when he misbehaved.

Nathan comes home from his first day at school.

Mother asks, 'What did you learn today?'

He replies, 'Not enough. I have to go back tomorrow.'

Mia: I think we need a new teacher.

Mum: Why is that?

Mia: Our teacher doesn't know anything, she keeps asking us for the answers.
