Fourteen year old Nathan Carter is a natural, high achieving athlete; he is on the autism spectrum and so competes in the para athlete section for secondary school races. He also races at mainstream level at his local Darfield High School and the Papanui Toc H Run Club in the Under 18 grade.

“This has not only been very beneficial for Nathan's desire to constantly want to be moving,” said his mother Bridget Carter, Carter “but running has been extremely beneficial for his social interaction and being around large crowds of people. It is great to see him cheering for fellow runners, encouraging them to keep going. I’m not quite sure he fully realises the enormity of his current success, but he is beginning to say to his parents after his races, ‘I feel proud’.”

Nathan was recently placed first junior para athlete in the New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country championship, held at Ascot Park, Christchurch on June 17th.

“His father Jack and I are so proud of this amazing achievement,” Bridget said. “Nathan’s recent joining of the Toc H Club also sees him competing in 2-6 kilometre races most weekends.”

Mum Bridget (a talented competitive runner herself) coaches him and while she comments it's great to enjoy a shared passion with Nathan, what's most rewarding is the enjoyment Nathan is gaining from running.

“He doesn’t like missing his scheduled training runs no matter what the weather is doing,” Bridget laughed. “I would like to say a special thanks to Karen Armstrong, Sports Co-ordinator at DHS, for all her support with the running events Nathan has participated in for, or at, the School,” Bridget ended.

RECRUITMENT / OPEN DAY Do you live in the Hororata area and ever thought of joining the fire brigade?

Now’s your chance!

Come and talk with us...

July 1st marks a historic time for the New Zealand Fire Service (NZFS) when they switch from NZFS to become the new Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

To celebrate this exciting new step the Hororata Volunteer Fire Brigade are having a Recruitment Day in search of Day Recruits. This means volunteers train as a Volunteer Fire Fighters, but only turn out for calls during the day Monday to Friday. Day Recruits form a great support network for the local Brigade as they are available for call outs when full time Volunteer Fire Fighters might be away working. This position might suit Mums or Dads whose children are at school/day care or those who may work from home.

“It's an amazing feeling to be able to help and support your community by being a Volunteer in the Fire Service,” said a Brigade spokesperson.

The Recruitment Day will have

The new Hororata Volunteer Fire Brigade’s support vehicle still needing funding for a fit out to the required standard. information on what's involved with training and being a Volunteer Fire Fighter, plus Hororata Volunteer Fire Fighters will be there with displays, as well as being available to answer questions.

“It will be a great informative day and if you have ever considered becoming a Volunteer Fire Fighter and you live in the Hororata Area, now is your time to check it out!”

Hororata Volunteer Fire Brigade have, over the past months, worked tirelessly to raise funds for a support vehicle to help them get to call outs faster (especially medical). This new

vehicle will enable them to attend to the community’s needs at a more efficient rate, should that be necessary. It also means a new team of Fire Fighters can help relieve the team who attended the call out first; extremely helpful in times of long hours spent fighting vegetation fires for example.

The Brigade is however still fundraising and applying for grants to enable them to ‘Fit Out’ the vehicle to Fire and Emergency standards.

See the advertisement in this issue for full details of the recruitment day.

Friday, June 23rd saw the squash player ranked at world number 12, Paul Coll, visit the Malvern Squash Club at the Darfield Recreation Centre. It was reported that it was a fantastic night enjoyed by all who attended.

The evening, hosted by the Squash Club in partnership with ITM Darfield, was a chance for local members and enthusiasts to see top level squash and pick up some tips from New Zealand’s best in the game.

The evening began at 6pm with local junior members spending time with New Zealand’s number one, Paul, playing rallies and picking up tips.

The evening moved on as four lucky senior members were drawn out of a hat to have a game each against the champion. This was a great opportunity for members to experience what Squash at the very top level is like. All members really enjoyed this experience.

Next up was Club President and professional Chris van der Salm.

Salm Chris and Paul put on an

exhibition match for the watching crowds. Chris and Paul went to four sets, but Paul was too good on the night. “A great match with some awesome skills on show,” commented a Squash Club spokesperson. “The newly insulated walls, thanks to grant money received from NZCT, looked the part and everyone stayed warm and comfortable as they enjoyed the show.”

After a quick break in proceedings it was back into action when Paul held a ‘Q&A’ session with the Club.

Compered by David Topham it was a chance to spend time with Paul and get an insight into his world. “What’s the toughest part of life on the road? Who’s the best you’ve played against?”

While local businesses C&C Sushi Café and Darfield Bakery kept the crowd happy with finger food throughout the evening, those present also had the opportunity of purchasing tickets in a rather special raffle. The raffle was a chance to win a signed Paul

The Club extends thanks for all the local support they received in hosting this event; with Club president Chris van der Salm adding, “what a great night. It was smashing to see the juniors and seniors alike enjoying squash and we hope to see you all again at our next event.”

On July 8th there’s a book launch to be held at the Canterbury Clay Bricks yard on Horndon Street, for a publication that will outline the history of the Canterbury Clay Bricks business from its inception to the present day. The book entitled, ’From Humble Beginnings’ gives an interesting insight into its owners and how it came about.

Originally written by Peter Boyes, Boyes the businesses current owner, as way of preserving the history of the company for his family, it became a labour of love as he researched photos a n d o l d doc u m e nt a t i o n (including a hilarious letter penned to the Anglican Church when they wished to construct a vicarage!). It soon became apparent that the information he had put together had a far greater appeal than his immediate family; it was of interest to historians, to past staff and their families, and to the area as a whole. So began the journey to print and publish

Friday 30th June 2017

the book and copies will be on sale at the launch on July 8th see advertisement in this issue for further details.

“I started putting a few notes together eighteen months ago,” Pete said “and with the grateful help of Darfield’s Marilyn Clausen, who put up with bad spelling, no punctuation, sentences back to front, no full stops etc we finally put together this historic book.

The book starts with some early family history - the story of Dave Boyes travelling from Benhar potteries to Glentunnel on a 1925 belt-driven Harley Davidson motor bike with a trunk on the back and a .22 rifle across the handlebars (which the family still own to this day). He arrived at McSkimmings Pottery, Brick and Pipeworks, Glentunnel in 1926 when Glentunnel was not even on the map.

The book carries on to tell how old Dave put up with conditions that people would not put up

‘From Humble Beginnings’ 65 years of Canterbury Clay Bricks History!

A story of how a family business struggled to succeed...

with today. However he continued with his passion for clay before eventually purchasing a block of land in Darfield with the dream of starting his own business. The book outlines some of the trials and tribulations this business set-up encountered, not the least of which were the antics of some established companies who were keen to see him just go away.

Peter Boyes the author was born in Darfield in 1946 and lived in Glentunnel until he was six or seven. “My father Dave ruled with an iron stick but he was also fair,” Peter commented about his father the founder of Canterbury Clay Bricks.

Peter completed an engineering apprenticeship in Christchurch before moving back to Darfield and joining his father Dave and brother Malcolm at the brickworks.

“But there just wasn’t enough work for us all,” Pete laughed, “so Malc and I would do part time work at Mitchell Bros or Frews Transport.”

After some time of working all hours Pete applied for a change of direction and went to sea, soon gaining the title of senior engineer.

“I came ashore after my time at sea but was recalled several times as they couldn’t get qualified engineers with steam qualifications, “ Pete explained.

“But once I was back working with old Dave and Malc we pushed the business ahead.”

Pete is married to Nancy (who undertook much of the administrative work for the business) and they have two sons, Murray and Steven.

Steven “Murray runs the company today and Steven runs the workshop.” Pete said.

‘From Humble Beginnings’ covers 65 years of brick and earthenware manufacturing with clay from the Malvern Hills and beyond.

“At the end of the day when Malcolm and I depart no one would know the early history of Canterbury Clay Bricks, but now it’s been made public so all can enjoy it and put it away for future generations,” Pete concluded.

Also available and for sale at the book launch is a reprint (due to popular demand) of the

2001 book ‘Kirwee’ by the late Noel Frizzell.

Frizzell This book tells of the early history of Kirwee making it a valuable commentary on the area. It contains information dating back to 1850 and gives a year to

year historic write-up of the happenings taking place in the Kirwee community. The publication contains many early photos and is described as being well worth reading.

LAND BANK OR DEVELOP! Family Feud is a television show screening on TV3 and recently the local Payne Family made an appearance. The programme surveys a hundred New Zealanders and their answers form the basis of questions to families filmed for the programme. Correct answers earn points and the aim of the game is to reach 300 of these - there are massive cash prizes at stake, as well as the chance of a car. Families are made up of four members who must be all related in some way.

“The families only feud against each other, not amongst themselves,” say the programme’s instructions!

The News asked Filipa Payne about her experience with the whole show: “It began back in March when my daughter Sarah encouraged her grandmother Trish, Trish mother Filipa, and sister Maddison, Maddison to audition for a possible place on the Show. Not long after completing the application on the website we received an email to audition in Christchurch. I did find this process quite daunting and nerve wracking, while the rest of the family just found it exciting.

The Family Feud crew at these auditions were however, encouraging and helpful. They made it apparent that outgoing and confident was the way to win a place and so we literally sung and danced our way through!

“Following this successful audition we were given guidelines on the clothing that we were to wear (or not to wear) for the filming - there was nothing for it, we just had to go shopping! We were required to take a minimum of seven different outfits all pressed and hanging on coat hangers.

Maddison, Filipa, Trish and Sarah - members of the Payne Family Feud team.

Auckland and although we were competing against them, there was a lot of good-hearted camaraderie between all the family teams.

“We arrived at the studio at 11am and were filmed around 2pm. The studio itself was surprisingly small and there was a live audience present at filming. To keep them enthused, and prompt them to respond to answers from teams playing, there was an MC who, on the day we filmed, was Chris Mac from the band Six60.

“Some time in the audience assisted with dispelling the nerves, before wardrobe assistants took us to select suitable outfits for filming.

“Dai Henwood, Henwood the Show’s compere made himself known to everyone, welcoming us with his quick wit which had us all laughing and relaxing.

“You have a very limited time to answer questions - which are incredibly random. For instance one we encountered was: ‘Name a vegetable that would make good shoes?’. I answered corn on the cob - which brought forth much laughter, however it had also been the reply of a few people surveyed as well. That is the key to the game - if those surveyed give it as their response, then that makes it the correct answer.

“While we did not win it was

always about having fun and doing it together as a family.

I thoroughly enjoyed being part of the show and will cherish all the wonderful memories my daughters, my mother and I had together from the whole experience.”

The Canterbury Golf Annual Awards Dinner was held on the evening of Friday, June 9th, at Russley Golf Club, and the 150 people who attended were treated to a fine evening of awards, fun, and stories from guest speaker Mark Greatbatch.

Greatbatch Amongst the numerous award recipients was Greendale Golf Club secretary Marie Michael who was presented with the Trevinos Administrator of the Year Award (The Administrator of the Year award is made to a club member or secretary in a paid or volunteer capacity, who has made an outstanding contribution to their club in the past year) for her outstanding work facilitating many new tournaments, initiatives, and programmes at the Club.

Initiatives that have resulted in increased membership and income. Marie, who has worked tirelessly as a volunteer in her role, was pleasantly surprised to receive the award.

Her job as Secretary is an unpaid position so it is a labour of love which consumes a

considerable amount of her time. Over recent years she has been particularly active and successful in fostering relationships with sponsors who are a key component of the financial viability of the Club.

This is most obvious in the significant efforts she puts into organising key fundraising tournaments, as well as the monthly midweek tournaments and the introduction of a large cup golf tournament.

Marie has also been instrumental in promoting and implementing a tree replanting programme to improve the course, as well as the documenting and clarification of committee and office bearers roles and the development of a

strategic capital expenditure programme. She commits a significant amount of her time in a voluntary role to fill the void of resources required to operate the Club.

The citation accompanying the award stated that: “More recently Marie has shouldered extra responsibilities to assist the Club’s treasurer and she is an active member across all sub committees to ensure things get done in a timely fashion.

“While Marie is unstinting in her efforts on behalf of the Club to ensure its ongoing viability, her humble and genuine selfless disposition make her a worthy nominee and recipient of this award.”

Guests enjoy the candlelight in the Glenroy Community Hall for the fourth mid-winter community yuletide feast.

On June 21st, the mid-winter solstice eventuated: the Solstice and its associated Yule festival celebrate the turning of the light at the winter solstice: in the Northern Hemisphere this takes place on December 21st and so very near the Christmas period.

Here in New Zealand the return to the light is also celebrated and it was done so recently at Glenroy Hall.

Saturday, June 17th was a cold and starry evening and some 58 folks attended the fourth community, mid-winter, Yuletide feast, indoors at the Glenroy Community Hall, while a Yule Log blazed in the grounds. The Hall was bedecked with lights and greenery and guests were welcomed by Committee Chair John Oakley who made special mention of Bob and Pam Mugford who have done so much for the Glenroy community.

While the Yule log blazed outside, the Hall inside had been ‘decked with boughs of holly’ and chains of fairy lights by Nicky Oakley and Cathy Ritson, Ritson who were in charge of the meal.

They were ably assisted by, among others, Carol Lowe, Lowe Pauline Pearce, Pearce Kim McLaughlin, McLaughlin Elizabeth Connor and Karen Meares.

Meares Tables were set with colourful cloths, tea-lights in jars, and a hearty mutton stew was served followed by an apple cru mb l e p ud d in g - a ll ingredients being provided by volunteers. Many folk also brought additional nibbles, while fruit drinks or mulled wine made the perfect accompaniments on

the cold night and were followed by tea or coffee, as well as chocolate log!

It was reported there was a real community atmosphere as families and guests settled at tables in the darkened Hall, the lights having been turned off so the candles could glow their subdued light. The Hall Committee has this event now planned as an annual one and something to look forward to each year.

Last week - June 18th - 24th was National Volunteer Week an opportunity to reward and recognise those in the community who go above and beyond. Ninety percent of nonfor-profit organisations are run by volunteers, without any paid staff. Consider the area without volunteer fire fighters, or St John ambulance officers doesn’t bear thinking about.

Then there are sports coaches, committees and support groups - all rely on volunteer involvement to survive.

There are numerous local volunteers in this area and many will have been recognised by the organisations they are so crucial to. One such volunteer is Beverly Iremonger who works with the Howard League and has been volunteering for the last two years at both the Christchurch Men's and Women's Prisons. She won one of two Canterbury volunteer awards for the Southern District presented by the Corrections Department.

The Howard League aims to reduce the prison population, reduce recidivism rates, and help with reintegration into communities by, among other things: Promoting and organising employment opportunities for released prisoners.

Organising and executing basic literacy programmes in jails.

They note that New Zealand has one of the highest rates of incarceration in the western world today.

“At the moment I support two prisoners in the Youth Unit to build up their confidence with literacy. Seeing them achieve is huge for me, it’s what volunteering is all about and I recommend it,“ Beverly said.

At the special morning tea in Beverly’s honour, the two prisoners currently being supported by her each gave a

short speech - Beverly was proud, pleased and a little overwhelmed by their efforts. A second volunteer recognised by corrections at the same ceremony teaches Barista skills at the Women’s Prison - her recognition saw the programme presented with a café quality coffee machine courtesy of Zonta, Ashburton to further assist with her training courses.

This volunteer has seen eight prisoners so far complete NZQA standards and become baristas.

Another local mentioned as being worthy of an award for their voluntary work - is Brian Knopp of Darfield. Brian was recognised by Volunteering Canterbury for the dedication he shows to helping others, through the Pathway Trust,

based in Christchurch.

The Pathway Trust’s motto is: ‘We never give up on people.

Ever’, providing retreats for those in need, reintegration into society and an employment programme, as well as much more. They give people a fresh start and assist those needing employment or new skills, families or individuals requiring accommodation and people being released from prison all come to them for assistance to make a new beginning.

In 1997 Pathway began with just three guys, a shared belief and a unique idea. The belief is that people can make positive life change when given the tools they need, and the idea is to run a business to both fund and develop these tools.

Our mee+ng for June was held on a lovely sunny aVernoon, so we were pleased so many members gave up an aVernoon in the garden to aUend. ‘Guess that Plant’ was the theme for the mee+ng with two of our members laying out 36 different specimens for us to name. We worked in pairs, each pair helping each other to dis+nguish the plants. There was a lot of friendly compe++on to do well and it was amazing how much knowledge members had of the common, and not so common, exhibits. A small prize was awarded to the three pairs with the top scores, everyone likes a liUle win and many thanks must go to Elizabeth and Julie for all their hard work se,ng up the tables with specimens.

We also had a clear out recently of our bits and pieces that we store for floral work and as we had a surplus, gave members the opportunity to purchase anything that caught their eye, with proceeds going to Club funds. One or two things were a bit taUy, but put to good use, like the chicken wire we use, this is now going to make bird feeders. We are preUy good at all sorts of things at Garden Club, recycling being a new addi+on to our talents! AVer admiring the specimens on the show tables, it was +me for a quick cuppa and a catch up, rounding off another good aVernoon at Garden Club. Not much to occupy us outside at the moment, +me for a break, but don’t forget the rose pruning, best +me of the year for it now.

Happy days.

Duncree Shetland Pony Stud owner Catherine Crosado admits to having always had an interest in horses, but added that she started riding late in life, so missed the pony craze.

Catherine bought her first Shetland ‘Cotswold Bexley Heath’ twenty years ago. Bexley is still with her and very much boss of The Herd.

“Duncree Shetland Pony Stud began its Shetland breeding programme in 1998 and it just snow balled from there,” Catherine laughed.

“The Shetlands all run in a herd, and the foals, wherever possible, are born into the herd.

The aim being to allow a natural lifestyle with freedom to move and graze 24/7. This helps keep them fit in mind and body,” Catherine added. “My stallion runs with a mare all year around so that he has company.”

Duncree Shetland Pony Stud is on Telegraph Road, at Charing Cross and recently one of its mares ‘Duncree Hickory Hannah’ has achieved an outstanding accolade - that of winning the New Zealand Shetland Pony of the Year. She also won Mare of the Year, Best Turned out Pony of the Year and South Island Pony of the Year and was runner up Best Mannered Pony of the Year. The Shetland of the Year is part of the end of year awards run by the New Zealand Shetland Pony Breeders Society (Inc.). Points are awarded for places gained in breed classes for registered Shetlands at A & P Shows. The awards are presented at the NZSPSBS AGM that was held in Leeston at the end of May. “As for the magic formula to produce a champion,” Catherine commented, “I think there’s definitely breeding involved, but also some luck. Lucky that Hannah looks like she does, but also that she doesn’t mind all the preparation and hustle and bustle of the Shows. She went out to fourteen Shows - loaded in the dark and taken to a different place each time and

Duncree Shetland Pony Stud owner Catherine Crosado with Duncree Hickory Hannah’ the New Zealand Shetland Pony of the Year. “My green jacket from Polkadotcom was bought on a chance visit and looked amazing in the ring,” Catherine added. never once decided she didn’t want to go on the horsefloat.”

Hannah’s dam Llewellyn Holly won the Shetland of the year in 2001/2002 season, so it was very rewarding for Catherine to see her daughter do the same.

“We can also add,” said Catherine, “that our Stallion ‘Duncree Eclipse’ won Sire of the Year and Hannah’s full brother ‘Duncree Hickory Hank’ (owned by Vicki Havord of Darfield) won Gelding of the Year, Best Paced pony of the Year and Best Mannered Pony of the Year. Needless to say we were very pleased and proud,” Catherine said. “The awards at the AGM were pretty special, as it was a brother and sister team; both are by my stallion. I am a student of Parelli Natural Horsemanship, so I put a lot of prior and proper preparation into making sure my Shetlands are ready to go out to a Show, or to a new home.”

Duncree Shetland Pony Stud relocated from Rolleston after the earthquakes saw that area become more urbanised and arrived in the area complete with 34 Shetlands transported in numerous horsefloats (there are now 46 Shetlands and one horse on the property).

“It was a very nervous time as ‘Llewellyn Holly’ (Shetland Pony

of the Year Hannah’s dam) was due to foal, but she waited until we were settled and Hannah was the first foal to be born at our new home.

“My parents Irene and Denis Phillips (both in their mid 80’s) live with me and although it was a big move for them to come to the area, they have become involved in local activities and made new friends. It’s my Dad that bags up the pony poo and puts it out on the road side (and it’s free). We all really enjoy living in the area,” Catherine said, “and have always been made to feel very welcome,” she concluded.

It’s not just in the movies that firefighters come to the rescue of cats in the most awkward of situations. On Saturday, June 17th, five Sheffield Volunteer Firefighters turned out for an unusual rescue involving a hapless moggy. A loved pet who’d got itself to the top of an extremely high power pole and was unable to get down.

Firefighter Tim Brady made his way up the power pole, situated behind The Original Sheffield Pie Shop and soon had the frightened feline in his arms and on the descent.

Needless to say, the owner was extremely relieved to get her cat down, but it jumped out of Tim's arms and scarpered when he got off the ladder!

“The owner dropped off a box of chocolates to the fire station which were very much appreciated,” reported one of he Firefighters who attended the incident. “That's the first of that type of callout I've been to in my twelve years in the Brigade,” they finished with a smile.

council leadership initiatives and the key role that local government plays in local communities.

Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton said being a finalist for an LGNZ Excellence award is testament to the vision which the Council had seventeen years ago - to set aside land for businesses to establish and provide more employment opportunities for Selwyn residents.

“Those that began the project can be very proud of the impact that Izone has had, and will continue to have, on our district and the families who live here,” Sam said.

The Izone development is New Zealand’s largest fullyconsented and developmentready industrial park with some seventy businesses employing over 1,200 people. Another 800 jobs are forecast as development work is completed by land purchasers.

The Council-owned Izone is one of five finalists in the Crown Fibre Holdings Excellence Award for Best Practice Contribution to Local Economic Development.

Over the years the News has followed the golfing career of Hororata local Nicole HamiltonHamiltonCross, Cross with interest. From gaining entry into Western Illinois University (WIU) on a golfing and study scholarship, to now reporting back about her time there. Nicole did much deliberating before deciding that WIU was the best fit for her (having looked into twelve different colleges in the US, including Yale and Harvard).

Attending WIU has enabled Nicole to fulfil two of her longheld dreams, that of obtaining a Forensic Science Degree, plus

travel around the US to play golf.

Nicole is currently in New Zealand visiting family and reports that: “Golf has been a fantastic experience - involving travel every weekend to many different states including Iowa, Indiana, Florida and many other places. It has been a great way to learn how to adapt quickly. At times it was a struggle to keep up with tournament travel, as well as study, homework and assignments, but this was all part of the process. I quickly learned the importance of discipline and time management

Page 13

in order to get everything done.

Morning workouts, classes and golf practice every day left me with not a lot of free time, but I enjoyed every second of it.

“Of course I missed home, the family and the views of the mountains, but every day I woke up and was grateful for the opportunity to live out my dream with people who quickly became my best friends,” Nicole concluded.

This year we have seen a few teams leave the Club due to personal commitments and players wanting new challenges.

This has seen us go from ten teams last year to seven teams this year. As a Club we have found this year challenging, but we are looking at ways to get our numbers back up next year.

The Kirwee Senior team is our only Premier team this year and we are hoping that they will be able to bring home the trophy for the third year running. We have our High School team in the Premier Reserve grade and they are doing really well and deserve to be there.

Malvern have a Social grade this year and we are fortunate enough to have two of our teams in this grade, Kirwee All Sorts and Kirwee Kaos. These are teams for those that may not have played in a while and are looking at having a run around on a Saturday.

Our year 7/8 team, Kirwee Panthers are enjoying the competition so far and our two year 5/6 teams, Keas and Katz are really embracing the Future

Fern programme. Our Junior players are enjoying their time down at the Darfield Courts on a Friday night learning some basic skills, which gives them a good introduction to netball and sets them in good stead for their years ahead.

We have an amazing support network in our Club with many hands making light work of the various jobs a Club needs to do,

to function. We are very appreciative of the coaches, managers and committee members that make up our Club and give us their time each and every week. I think it does help that we support the Kirwee Tavern whilst holding our monthly meetings.

Our major fundraiser this year was held jointly with the Kirwee Rugby Club and we raised an

amazing amount which was split between the two Clubs. This will go towards some new lighting for the netball courts and uniforms for those teams needing an upgrade. Thank you to those that supported this event.
