On Wednesday evening, June 28th, the Malvern Lions Club held its annual ‘Changeover Night’ at the Coalgate Tavern.

This marks the end of the Club’s year, is the forum for reporting on achievements during the year, and for a new President and Board to be inducted.

The year 2017 also marks the centenary of the organisation.

Back in 1917 in Chicago, a

visionary named Melvin Jones created the first Lions Club, and since then the organisation has grown to over 1.4 million members. Currently the centennial convention is being held in that same city, and the Malvern Club is represented by Philip Lynch and Lindsey Telfer, Telfer along with Keith and Helen Taege.

The team involved with the Darfield Community Garden are excited about the prospect of moving on to stage two of the initiative. This stage has happened sooner than they anticipated, assisted by the much appreciated donation of 40+ heritage apple, plum and pear trees. The group now looks forward to the planting of the community orchard.

“There’s a range of cooking and eating apples which will cover the full season, with the earliest being ready in February/March, and the later being ready to pick at this time of the year,” outlined Bronwyn AdamsAdams Hooper speaking on behalf of the Darfield Community Garden.

“What a resource for the people of Darfield!

T he difference for human health is just incredible. So to have Monty’s Surprise apple trees on our Community Garden planting list, and to be given tomato seeds for this season, really is a blessing.

“Of course an opportunity like this is also a learning opportunity for us all. Maybe readers are thinking of planting

a few fruit trees and are not sure where to start. How to plan where to plant them? How much space they will need? How to plant them? How to set up a watering system for them? Well these are all things we are going to be doing over the next month,” Bronwyn said.

Garden volunteers will meet on Saturday morning for some site preparation before the trees are to be collected later in the month, ready for planting.

“We would really love help if you have some spare time to pop down and assist,” Bronwyn concluded.

Marge Hefferon and Stacey Curtin are both local residents who now proudly own and operate Darfield Gourmet Burgers - the township’s newest foodie addition. The distinctive, blue, specially fittedout, caravan will spent most of its time opposite the Challenge Service station on Darfield’s main street (apart from Thursday evenings when they plan to be in West Melton).

From their van Stacey and Marge will serve up a mouth

watering array of homemade burgers, ranging in flavour from venison, lamb, ribeye steak and salmon, as well as also including vegetarian/vegan options. Added to which, all burgers can be made gluten free! Ask about their ‘Kiddie Pack’ which, for a very reasonable price, includes a burger, chips and a drink. As well as their tempting burgers the food truck will offer hot chips, homemade desserts and a variety of cold drinks.

Marge and her husband Richard came from the UK more than fifteen years ago. They have lived in Darfield for over four years and have three children who attend local schools.

Stacey is originally from Ireland, but now lives locally with partner Gavin and has two children attending school in Darfield.

Before embarking on this new venture Marge and Stacey knew each other as neighbours and while Stacey had been in the food truck business previously, Marge had worked as a registered nurse in Christchurch for fifteen years. However she looks forward to offering great customer service freely admitting to having a love of dealing with people. Stacey loves to cook and so it seemed like the ideal partnership for the pair. Both women wanted to work in their local community, they sponsor Darfield Rugby and Netball and their choice of red, blue and white with the mountains as their logo, further depicts their love of being ‘local’.

“Our burgers’ truck is also available for events and Christmas parties - just ring us for further information,” Stacey and Marge said. “You can also find us on Facebook.”

behind the counter at the tyre shop is one very changed man,” said one of the Chip programme’s facilitators Katie Snyder of Darfield.

Peter decided to participate in the Chip programme in Darfield last year, along with around ten others. Over a thirty day period they learned many things about the effects of the ‘Western Diet and Lifestyle’ on their health.

They not only adopted these changes with enthusiasm, but also began to feel immediate results.

“Peter was out exercising at every given opportunity and even though he had a very busy life he put his all into the programme,” Katie explained.

“A blood test is taken when you join up with the programme and a second one is repeated after just 21 days. Peter had exceptional results and scooped almost every award at graduation,” she added. “He dropped over 40 percent in

total cholesterol, lost weight and his blood pressure came down too. He has become a ‘Chip Hero’ along with those other local folk attending who also had similar results to be proud of.”

Katie really encourages participation in the Chip programme and now it’s coming back to Darfield, it’s an opportunity not to be missed.

“You too could be the person who greatly benefits from this change in lifestyle,” Katie said.

“Type two diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and the risk of heart disease/stroke will all respond well to those committed to making a few simple inexpensive lifestyle changes on the Chip Programme. To book your space, come to an information session. We would love to see you there,” Katie enthused.

YOUR SKIN THIS WINTER Just like our wardrobe our skin care rou ne needs a change up as we move into the colder months.

During the winter the temperature outside plummets and there is now less moisture in the air reducing the natural moisturisers in our skin. Heading indoors won’t help either, heat pumps, heaters and fires all dry the air out too, having the same effect! When skin dries out there can also be other issues, such as sensi vity, ghtness, irrita on and increased redness.

Do you know the difference between the terms ‘Dry’ and ‘Dehydrated’?

The term ‘Dry’ is used to describe a skin lacking in natural oils; through diet we can assist this by ea ng foods rich in essen al faNy acids or taking a supplement such as Bestow Beauty Oil. In regards to our skincare a dry skin will benefit from a moisturiser rich in ingredients such as shea buNer and vitamin B5, the Ultra Rich Moisturiser from Ultraceu cals is the perfect mate for a dry skin containing both, plus loads of other hydra ng goodies.

A ‘Dehydrated’ skin is a skin lacking in natural moisture, we can help this internally by drinking more water (tea and coffee doesn’t count, sorry). At home we need a product containing Hyaluronic Acid, also naturally occurring in our skin, but depletes rapidly with age. HA molecules have a very short shelf life of just 48 hours, it makes itself and eats itself 48 hours later, without HA in our skin it can appear dehydrated with fine lines becoming more prominent. Using a serum daily with HA will improve hydra on, decrease sensi vity and give skin a beau fully plumped appearance. Ultraceu cals have the answer in the B2 serum packed with Hyaluronic acid, vitamin B3 and B5 - both powerful moisturising ingredients, cooling cucumber extract and, like all Ultraceu cals products, no nasty parabens or synthe c fragrances.

Finn is a nine month old, neutered vaccinated pup. “He’s a big playful teenager,” commented owner of Dogwise, Marguerite Besier.

Besier “Through no fault of his own, Finn is searching for his fourth home, because the house he shares with his current owner has been sold. He is much loved, but

...continued from front page.

“Ken gave forty five years’ service to the Club, and was a very highly regarded member of both the Club and the community,” a Club spokesperson said.

President John said that catering at community events, remains a major source of fundraising revenue for the Club and they were appreciative of the community’s support.

Another very successful annual Golf Tournament was held, with the recipient of the funds raised being the Darfield Plunket and Toy Library. They will benefit by about $15,000 from this event.

Recently the Club completed the building of a new multi-purpose trailer for its catering activities.

Two Members, Bob Scott and Stuart Skurr, Skurr were recognised for their work on the project by being the joint recipients of the Ramsay Gibson Award for Outstanding Service to the Club, over the past year.

President John also reported that members had engaged in several other projects during the year: peastraw, traffic

spends all day on a chain and although he is responding well to training it is understandable that he is naturally anxious,” Marguerite explained.

“Finn is bull mastiff/Staffordshire Terrier cross, breeds that often get bad press, but this can frequently be undeserved,” Marguerite added.

There are hundreds of bull breed cross dogs out there needing homes and Marguerite stressed that it was shameful that the strong SPCA message to neuter and spay hadn’t reached those it should.

“Finn runs the risk of ongoing abuse and neglect, maybe even being singled out to be fighting bait, or a failed hunting dog.

“Christchurch Bull Breed rescue do amazing work, but are overwhelmed,” she said.

“Dogwatch and Second Chance have waiting lists and no foster

homes. These dogs need firm, persistent, consistent handling and an awareness that they may be prey focussed,” Marguerite stressed. “Cats for example; if they choose to run - may not be safe.

“When out on a walk with his new Border Collie mates Finn shows boundless, and bounding, joy at his freedom, sniffing and checking out every inch of his surroundings. He has to be dragged back to the chain at his owners, which breaks my heart,” Marguerite said.

“You may not be the one for Finn, but maybe you could offer a foster home to a dog for one of those overwhelmed organisations. Please don't think ‘I want a dog’. Ask yourself ‘what have I got to offer the dog?’,” Marguerite concluded.

control/parking duties, street appeal assistance and the Council Green Waste days; as well as Reserve maintenance at W a i ma k a r ir i G or g e a nd Aylesbury Corner.

Each year the Club offers a Tertiary Education Scholarship to a Year 13 student. Thirty two outstanding applicants were interviewed with the scholarship (worth $2,500) going to Grace Lemon who is studying Health Sciences at Otago University.

Recently, representatives of the Club, along with those from sixty other Clubs, attended the District Convention, in Blenheim where they were presented with two awards: • Mount Cook Trophy for the best array of community projects.

• Club Visiting Award, to recognise the other Clubs visited by Malvern members during the previous Lions Year.

It is notable that each year, the Club disburses in excess of $40,000 to the community by way of grants and donations.

“The Club thanks this generous

community for its fine support, and reports that our members look forward to another satisfying year, under newly elected President Tony Mitchell and his Board.”

The Smolenski family live locally at Weedons and this is about their son Jonty.

Jonty Dad and Mum, Sam and Maree Smolenski (and many will know Maree’s mother and father Julia and Lee Golding from their time in the district), older brother Lachlan and younger sister Ruby have all been involved in Jonty’s journey and they are now calling for support to enable them to give to those who have been there for them on this journey. Jonty, who has just started as a new entrant at Weedons School is the reason for the forthcoming ‘Jonty’s Journey Appreciation Race-night’ to be held at Addington Raceway on July 21st.

Full details of this event are on the Jonty’s Journey Facebook page and the family would be very appreciative of any support. “ T h e r a ce - n i g ht is a n opportunity to raise funds for, and publicly thank, a number of charities that have been instrumental in supporting Jonty and our family over the past five years,” Maree explained. “The following is a short summary of Jonty’s life so far: “Jonty is our second son, born seven weeks early, in May 2012.

At the time of his birth, we began the biggest journey of our lives. Initially it was thought that he just needed time to catch up from his low birthweight, but when he began severely

refluxing and refusing to feed we faced our first surgery to tighten the top of his stomach. We eventually left the neonatal unit in Christchurch after a long 96 days. When home, Jonty’s feeding deteriorated again and three weeks later we were back to the children’s ward, having the surgery repeated and a feeding tube placed, so we could feed him directly to his stomach.

At the same time, Jonty’s vision and hearing was being tested as he appeared to present with deficiencies in these areas too.

Since then, he has had numerous general anaesthetics and admissions to hospital.

These include having the lenses removed from both his eyes, laser surgery, and synthetic lenses put in; grommets for his ears; colonoscopies and laparoscopies to review his gut issues; and a few viral illnesses which he takes longer to recover from, and with more interventions, than most other children.

At the beginning of 2015 we approached our genetics team again and instigated a review of Jonty, as we felt that, even despite his many setbacks, he wasn’t progressing as well as we had expected. Jonty’s paediatric team echoed our concerns and further testing was undertaken.

After many months (including a five week admission with winter illness) we were delivered the

news that Jonty suffers from a very rare genetic condition called Trichothiodystrophy (TTD).

We believe that Jonty is currently the only one with this condition, in New Zealand. Following this diagnosis we joined a Facebook support group which led to us being invited to attend the 2016 conference in Washington DC. We he ld a ve ry s uccess ful fundraising dinner in April 2016 that allowed us to travel to the conference and currently have enough funds left in Jonty’s trust account for us to return again for the 2017 conference, next month.

Over Jonty’s five years of life we have met people and been involved in many organisations that have supported us. We wish to pay public thanks to a number of these and were presented with the possibility from Addington Raceway of holding an appreciation race-night to do so.

One hundred percent of the funds raised will be shared between The Maia foundation, CCS Christchurch, Riding for the disabled Christchurch, Smiledial, Van Asch Deaf education centre and BLENNZ (Blind and Low Vision Education Network). We are currently seeking assistance from businesses who could offer gratefully received goods or services, as either spot prizes or silent auctions on the night.”

Darfield historian John Creamer is the source of much local information and recently brought the following snippet into the News: It was harvest time weather with hot strong to gale Northwest winds in 1957. A contractor working the paddock next to the McHugh’s Plantation (now Forest) was using a machine which over heated starting a fire that quickly took hold and

Page 7

burned across the paddock toward the trees. The gorse fence was no obstacle, but fortunately only a small section on the East corner of the plantation was affected. The fire raced down the paddock to the neighbour’s property which was the Butchery’s bullock paddock; and as luck would have it, no stock were in there. Once again the gorse fence, post and wire, extra high was no obstacle and

1. Using a dehumidifier? Make sure the heater is going at the same me to help the dehumidifier extract moisture more effec vely.

2. Got a log burner? Only use dry firewood to keep your home warm and healthy.

3. Hot water usually accounts for 30% of home energy usage. Cut down shower me, use cold water for washing clothes and rinsing dishes and fix any dripping hot taps.

Top Tip…..

Keep furniture away from outside walls to allow air circula on (this will help stop mould growth).

the fire swept across the paddock to Horndon Street.

Miss McHugh was at home on her own and had to be evacuated. When Maurice Ford went to help her she was trying hard to put their stud Southdown ram into the back of the car!

The fire crossed Horndon Street, just above where the tennis courts are now, and once again a Butchery paddock.

Coleman’s property was next and the fire raced across two paddocks and seemed to be heading straight toward the Sawmill, but came to a halt at a cultivated paddock around about what is now the back car park at the Recreation Reserve and the bottom end of the lake in the Domain. It was reported that there was a lot of surface damage, but nothing that could not be replaced. This was a huge relief as the McHugh trees only suffered the loss of the east corner.

The Kirwee Rugby Club is going great, with two senior teams; a competitive Div 2 team and a strong Div 3 team.

Both teams are enjoying good numbers including four overseas players; two scots and an American who, under the guidance of Kent Opie, came to Kirwee to play rugby in their off season. Included amongst our overseas players is also a young English man, working locally.

The Club has great junior numbers this year with James Nash the Junior Club Captain.

This season has fielded a team in U10, U9 and U8, as well as two teams in the Under 7 and Under 6.

A special thanks to all the parents who have coached, managed and helped out on Thursdays and Saturdays, done morning teas and/or just got their kids along to rugby. And, of course, for everyone’s help on Club Day. We have just held, with the Kirwee Netball Club, a very successful Ball. Held at the Kirwee Hall, it was very

Our two senior teams played up at Sheffield recently for Sheffield’s Club Day. A sunny Sheffield and a long evening enjoyed by all.

We are looking forward to our senior prize giving to be held at Melton Estate Winery on August 12th.

To our loyal sponsors some special thanks. Without your

continued support, we could not run our Club as successfully as we have.

Lastly to our committee, thanks to you all for all your help. Often done thanklessly, but very much appreciated and without it the Kirwee Rugby Club would not function.

The management team of Cam Adams, Mitch Alcock, Terry Dalton, Scott Jermyn and manager Kent Opie are working hard to ensure that the players are fighting fit, superbly skilled and well organised, as well as being proud to play for Kirwee!

KIRWEE DIV 3...

After a few years of toughing it out at the lower end of the table the taste of regular wins could not be sweeter than this year! With the dedication of the core group continuing to grow from previous years and the addition of a few key Kirwee lads rejoining the Club we have gone from strength to strength, and our goals have moved from being competitive to winning!

As always though, the team continues to be built on a strong culture of a few mates enjoying the game they love, washing it down with a few cold beers and planning towards the now infamous end of year trip.

MALVERN U13...

The Malvern U13 team is coached by Doug Mitchell and Jason Kupe - they have the team training hard which is paying off with improvement in their games each Saturday. The team has a large number of players in the squad, all with their own skills, and playing abilities. The team finished fourth out of ten teams in the first round of the competition and for the second round the grade has been split into two sections. The team need to finish in the top two of their section to qualify for semi-finals on July 29th. It’s great to be able to support all Malvern contributing Clubs by playing home games at their grounds on their respective Club days. “Big thanks go to parents and supporters who are on the side lines each week cheering the team on,” said manager Karen Ridgen.

A big congratulations to all the boys in the team that have been selected or trialled for Ellesmere Representative teams.

KIRWEE U10...

With the changes to the grades Kirwee was fortunate to be able to field a team of Under 10’s. As the season is progressing, the team is gaining confidence. The focus this year has been around team work and fine-tuning basic skills. The team is

showing passion for the game and is well supported by family and friends on Saturdays. Coaches and managers include Brent Geddes, Craig Heenan, Raymond Williams and Jamie Ruwhiu.

MALVERN U11½...

When our Junior players get up to U11½ age grade, Kirwee combine with our local Clubs.

These include Selwyn, Sheffield and Darfield. Over the last five years, all four clubs have worked hard to make this combination function well. We have managed to field teams from U11½ right up to U18. This year we have two grades U11½ and U13. As a consequence, we refer to these teams as 'Malvern' teams to make it easier for us to be identified by the Ellesmere Sub Union. These teams wear a very distinctive kit of black shorts/socks and a black jersey with all the colours of each individual club. Each year the Malvern committee meets and decides who will 'host' a team. It is up to each Club to then oversee the running of that team over the season. We have worked hard on this committee to offer all players in the Malvern area the opportunity to stay local and still be able to represent their Club within the Malvern Team.

This year Kirwee is hosting the U11½ team which is coached by Peter Kelly and managed by Richard Pearson.

Kirwee has had involvement in ensuring they have the right gear and prizes for Player of the Day, as well as dealing with any issues that may arise. The other Malvern team this year is our U13’s and they are hosted by Selwyn.

Grandparents’ and Whānau morning at The Cat’s Pyjamas Preschool & Nursery in West Melton last week saw a huge turnout of Nanas, Poppas, Grandees, Grandmas, Grandads, Opas, and Omas who came to see what their grandchildren get up to on a daily basis at preschool.

Grandparents and special guests enjoyed a delicious morning tea of scones with cream and jam, as well as soup that the children had worked so hard to prepare. They then spent time playing with the children and seeing all the wonderful things that have been

happening at The Cat’s Pyjamas.

The children rose to the occasion with much delight as they sang some of their favourite songs to their captive and adoring audience.

“The morning was a great success with awesome support

from our families,” said Tracy Summerfield, Summerfield Centre owner.

“Grandparents hold a special place in everyone’s heart, so it was wonderful to see so many grandparents, and many other people special to the children, attend”.

Selwyn District Council has adopted its Annual Plan for the next twelve months.

“The plan has a focus on planning for new facilities and investing in core services like footpaths and roads for our growing population,” said Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton.

“We offered some different options this year to make it easier for people to share their views and we were pleased that the community took the opportunity to participate in consultation on the draft plan through an online survey, submissions, Facebook comments and at local consultation events,” Sam added.

“It was great to hear everyone's views, some submissions reinforced our proposed direction, while the weight of other submissions has meant Council has changed other proposals. Thank you to the community for contributing to the discussion.”

189 submissions were received on the draft plan, while 241 people completed an online survey.

The plan confirms the Council will undertake a feasibility study on a new Health Hub, where the Council will look to provide accommodation for specialised and secondary health and social services not currently available in the district. The Council also confirmed that design and planning work is to be carried out on developing additional pool space at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre. Submissions and survey comments showed strong support for the Health Hub concept and for adding pool space at the Aquatic Centre.

Two other proposals confirmed, following consultation, were to continue work to extend existing footpath networks in a number of townships by adding nineteen new sections of footpaths to encourage walking and cycling.

And to retain the targeted roading rate to fund road rehabilitation work on a number of busy roads. Both of these proposals were also supported by the majority of submitters and survey participants.

A change to how stormwater management is funded was also consulted on and has been approved. This will see existing stormwater rates, which currently vary by township,

Page 13

replaced with a standard $85 stormwater rate. This rate would be charged in townships where the Council manages stormwater. Existing stormwater rates vary significantly - for example the current rate for Leeston is $278, in Lincoln it is $85 and in Rolleston it is $40.

Submitters and survey participants had a range of views on this proposal, however more submitters and survey participants supported the change to the standard rate than retaining existing townshipbased rates.

A proposal was also included in the Annual Plan to extend library opening hours at the weekends and to include later weekday opening and closing times.

Submitters had mixed views on this proposal, with many suggesting alternative opening hours to those put forward. The Council is now looking at longer Saturday opening hours, but not Sunday opening. Service centres will also be open on Saturday mornings. Customer use of libraries will be monitored during a six month trial period.

The average rates increase for the next financial year is 4.5 percent. Rate changes will vary for individual households depending on the mix of rates households pay, changes relating to shifting to a standard stormwater rate and local expenditure on halls and reserves.

A bunch of like-minded, local car enthusiasts have come together to organise Selwyn’s first ever outdoor, car, truck, motorcycle and farm machinery show later this year.

The brainchild of Rolleston local John Winchester, a strong and passionate committee has been formed to put together a fantastic day for car aficionados and families alike.

John commented that the support from those keen to assist had been overwhelming and contact on the whole had only been by word of mouth.

“I have been bowled over by all these great locals, including the support from Rolleston and Districts Lions, that are chipping in together to get the inaugural event off the ground,” John commented. A committee has been formed to drive it all and planning is well underway.”

Steve Wright, a member of the committee added, “we now have a great format for the day outlined and it is time to start so u rc in g sp o ns or s a nd beginning to get the word out.”

Between local support and car club interest the ‘Selwyn Motor

Fest and Family Fun Day’ is looking to be a fantastic annual community event.

“We really need some key sponsors to come on board which will ensure the success of this massive event. We already have over six hundred cars on the contact list, heaps of events for children (young and old) planned for the day and the best thing is that any profits raised will go to help out our friends at St John.”

Selwyn District Council has provided an event grant to support the day and help to get it off the ground.

The Selwyn Motor Fest and Family Fun Day will take place on Sunday, November 26th opposite the new roundabout by Rolleston College. It is a large site that will have ample parking for the hundreds of show cars expected, as well as for those attending as spectators. Bouncy castles, food trucks, emergency service displays and defence representation is also on the cards. There will be something for everyone. Classic cars, muscle cars, motorbikes, tractors, luxury cars, trucks and

sports cars will be on show.

“If it has a motor and an owner who wants to display their pride and joy, we want to see it on show,” laughed Steve.

Local District Councillor, Craig Watson, Watson was roped in to the committee by his neighbour John and commented. “It has been incredible showing up to these shed meetings with twenty or thirty folk from all different backgrounds, but a common interest in all things with a motor,” said Craig.

“Honestly, I think this event is going to grow each year and become a feature event for the district. I hope grass roots initiatives such as this put to bed the ridiculous mutterings that there is no community spirit in Rolleston. Come along on November 26th and you will see what a vibrant and energetic young community we are.”

Also a member of the St John Area Committee, Craig is grateful the Motor Fest will in turn help support St John who are under constant pressure to both provide an important service and fundraise to deliver it.

Construction of an off road link to connect Lincoln to the Little River Rail Trail is now under way.

The 45km Rail Trail runs from Shands Road in Hornby, via Prebbleton, Lincoln, Greenpark, Motukarara, Kaituna, Birdlings Flat and Catons Bay to Little River.

The new shared cycleway/ pathway will link Lincoln to the existing Rail Trail at Ellesmere Road where it crosses to River Road near Moirs Lane.

The link will be developed in two stages with the first stage running from Liffey Springs Park to the Lincoln Stormwater Wetland. This stage is now under construction by Selwyn District Council with a new pedestrian/cyclist bridge over the L2 River at Liffey Springs Park recently developed to link to existing pathways around the wetlands. A new water crossing point will also be added at the

The second stage of construction is being financed by the Little River Rail Trail Trust, with a construction start date for this work yet to be confirmed. This stage will see a new section of pathway added from south of the wetlands along the L2 River where it will connect to Moirs Lane and the start of the existing pathway at Ellesmere Road. From here the T rail follows the river downstream to the Ahuriri Reserve and the pathways through to Motukarara.

“The new bridge and pathways will provide a mainly off-road route which allows cyclists to avoid having to use a busy

section of road along Edward Street and Ellesmere Road south and will provide a safer and more enjoyable cycling experience,” said Selwyn District Council Asset Manager Transportation Andrew Mazey.

Mazey “It also provides access across the river for residents in the neighbouring subdivisions to the wetlands area for recreation.”

The Little River Rail Trail is the initiative of the ChristchurchLittle River Rail Trail Trust and the project involves Ngāi Tahu and the Wairewa Rūnanga, the Department of Conservation, Environment Canterbury, Christchurch City Council and Selwyn District Council.

Selwyn District Council met at Darfield on June 14th and made the following key decisions: Plan Changes approved Two Plan Changes relating to land near Darfield were approved by the Council at its meeting.

Plan Change 48 rezones a 13.5 hectare site at the intersection of Creyke and Telegraph Roads to Living 2 (larger lot residential sections). This area was previously zoned as Living 2A (Deferred) which identified it as potentially suitable to be used for rural residential living in the future.

Plan Change 50 introduces a Dairy Processing Management Area in a 131.1 hectare area around Fonterra’s site west of

Darfield. This area is currently in an Outer Plains zone area which is mainly used for rural activities.

The Council needs to formally notify the Plan Changes before they become operative.

Portable accommodation to be developed at Council Offices The Council also agreed to develop a temporary portable office accommodation facility at its Rolleston offices. Selwyn’s population has increased from approximately 33,600 in 2006 to around in 56,000 in 2017.

This population growth is creating increasing demand for Council services and the additional space will help to accommodate staff. Up to $265,000 has been allocated for the new accommodation.

Youth council terms of reference adopted The Council approved new terms of reference for the Selwyn Youth Council. Since its election late last year, the incoming Youth Council has been reviewing its focus, and is progressing from an eventsbased model to include more of a governance and advisory role providing a youth voice to the youth of Selwyn. New initiatives planned by the Youth Council include a discretionary fund to assist local youth projects, and “What do YOUth think?” – a programme of high school visits to engage with youth on initiatives, projects and ideas being introduced in the district.

Darfield Netball Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank our members, families, sponsors, and supporters.

The 2017 season started with some concern as all Malvern Clubs experienced a decline in registrations, regardless the competition is proving to be positively challenging across all six grades.

Our Friday ANZFutureFERNS (Y1 -4) wrap up their ten week programme in time for the school holidays, having learned fundamental movement and ball skills, essential for the next stage of netball. Our Years 5 and 6 teams, Tricksters and Dragons, are doing exceptionally well, their understanding and development is evident on court in their adapted six aside games.

Dynamite are exploding with enthusiasm, under coach Danielle Cooper the team is impressively holding a good position in the Intermediate grade, alongside Mystics who are achieving weekly wins under the guidance of Maria Townsend and Mandy McCaughan.

McCaughan Darfield’s Year 8 team Flames, are on fire with coach Terina Graham in the Senior grade. Tessa Mitchell and Chontelle Radford are doing well as new coaches this year, with their Senior grade team, Thunder.

It’s great to see players having some competitive fun in the Social grade, with Victoria Leech player/coach for Faupaxs. In Prem Reserve we have two high-school teams, Darts - coached by Nic Kelly and Rams - coached by Filipa

Payne; Payne watch out for the emerging talent from both teams. In the Premier grade Darfield are represented by Swifts (high-school team) proven contenders coached by Maria Townsend, who also plays for Eclipse (who made the Prem finals last year), supported by Sharon Forrester.

Forrester As Malvern’s largest netball club, this season we are undergoing some new initiatives to benefit our members. We’re also excited to promote adapted netball by hosting an adults six-aside tournament fundraiser on Saturday, July 15th - check out our advert and/or visit www.sporty.co.nz/ darfieldnetball for more information.

The opportunity to get up close and watch the release of young salmon is the latest fundraising event for Methven Care Trust.

The Annual Salmon Smolt Release in conjunc on with Montrose Estate and Fish & Game has been organised by neighbouring Rakaia Gorge farmer Donna Field.

On Sunday, July 23rd (the last day of the school holidays), thousands of salmon smolt will be released by Fish & Game to boost the salmon popula on in the Rakaia River.

This only happens once a year providing an unique opportunity to learn about the life cycle of one of New Zealand’s most popular fish. The five kilometre drive to exit Montrose Estate via adjacent Cleardale Sta on allows locals to get a taste of high country life and the grandeur of the Gorge.

“With a sausage sizzle and coffee providing refreshments, the 9am to 1pm event is definitely worth ge ng up early for,” encourage organisers. The actual salmon smolt release will happen between 10am and 10.30am. However the salmon hatchery will be open for people to look around and lots of young salmon will s ll be in the creek. When the salmon are released, children and other volunteers will be given the chance to carry buckets of smolt to the creek to p them in.

As the loca on requires travel over farm tracks, the experience is not suitable for low clearance cars. Interested par es are advised to wear warm clothes and gumboots or boots.

Donna said the Annual Salmon Smolt Release is a follow up to her previous fundraising venture in the form of the ‘Rakaia Gorgeous Ball’ held for six years with half the money going to Methven House.

“I’ve always been keen on looking a\er the older people in our communi es and the release of the salmon smolt will be a celebratory occasion in a beau ful spot and interes ng to watch.

“My favourite part of the release is watching the eels come out to eat the smolt and ge ng so full they can barely move. The eels are huge and impressive fish and it is wonderful to see them.

“It is impressive that the people of Methven can find the energy and enthusiasm to fund housing for the elderly. So many older people want to stay in their town, close to family and friends, rather than go to Ashburton and we are crea ng that opportunity. I would like everyone to get behind the project and contribute in any way they can,” Donna added.

“The salmon smolt release - on the last Sunday of the school holidays - will provide an unforgeNable experience before school rou ne kicks back in.”

Mark, Sunday July 23rd in the diary now; organisers would appreciate support at this inaugural event.
