On Saturday, April 28th Hororata plans a special festival which will entertain and delight, while benefitting the community. The Hororata Night Glow will be a spectacular festival with hot air balloons lighting up the night sky, music, the best food and wine the Selwyn district has on offer, craft stalls and heaps of family entertainment.

“The Hororata Night Glow has already captured people’s imagination with over 12,000 following the festival on Facebook. Hot air balloons

have a certain magic that intrigues young and old and to see them ‘glowing’ in unison to music is a rare and exciting o p p or t u n ity , ” ex p l a i n e d Hororata Community Trust Executive Officer, Cindy Driscoll.

Driscoll “While the balloons are the headline act of the Hororata Night Glow, the autumn festival surrounding their performance will offer a whole range of entertainment, making this a great afternoon/evening out.”

Organisers report that the event has some amazing artists lined up to entertain the crowd

including Holly Kimber, Kimber Volts and The Easy Hearts.

“Inflatable Mini golf and Springfree trampolines will both be free for children to play on,” Cindy added, “while archery, along with many more fun activities are planned.

“Food is going to be a big focus of the Hororata Night

Glow and we will have a huge range of street food on offer.

We are also working with the Selwyn District Council to have the ‘Sensational Selwyn Food and Wine Trail’ at the event, where people can sample the best our district has to offer,” Cindy said.

Blanche Fryer- ceramics.

David Lloyd - copper sculpture.

As part of its twenty-year celebration the Selwyn Gallery has invited a group of accomplished artists who specialise in drawing, painting, and sculpting images of birds for its March exhibition, ‘Birds of a Feather’.

“Looking back, our exhibitions featuring birds have always been well received”, commented Malvern Community Arts Council chairperson Philip Baldwin, Baldwin “so we are particularly pleased to feature this popular subject in a variety of artistic styles and media.”

Kate Beatty - earned a degree at Ilam School of Fine Arts with a major in painting in 2014, she was a finalist in the 2016 Christchurch Art Show, and won the People’s Choice Award that year and for two years running she has been a finalist in competition for the Zonta Ashburton Female Art Award.

Her current series of works explore the hierarchy of image and object with lines and dots that form a sacred geometric pattern behind a New Zealand bird.

Blanche Fryer - her art has always been creative, exploring many media: fabric and fibre, painting, song writing, and ceramic sculpture. “Art is the evocative mediator between the flesh, the soul, and the spirit,” she said. Blanche is a member of the Halswell Pottery Group, and has exhibited her work in a number of Canterbury galleries.

Galina Kim - was born in AlmaAta, Kazakhstan and studied Fine Arts and Design at Kiev’s Art College, graduating with honours, before continuing her art studies at the Art Academy in L'vov, West Ukraine. Galina creates unique, textured media works with much mood and expression. Her work, much of which is in private collections, has been exhibited in the Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Canada, Germany, the Czech Republic, and in the South Island since her arrival in 1996.

David Lloyd - works with metals, wood, stone, enamel, glass, and re-purposed objects to create a vast array of sculpture ranging from tiny moth brooches to twometre-wide life-like spiders, enormous pea pods, delicate miniature eels, and all sorts of fantastical and beautiful creations. "I am fascinated by the complex structures that nature has given us, the amazing design of insects’ wings, the root structure of trees, and a simple birds nest that nature has designed for strength and durability,” David said.

Katrina McGettigan - is a fulltime artist and tutor who grew up in Methven and lives in

Christchurch. She loves to capture the beauty of New Zealand on canvas and also offers art tuition for adults and children at her newly opened studio and gallery. Katrina has always had a love for nature and the outdoors and in 2015 she set herself a challenge to paint a different native New Zealand bird every day for 100 days. Katrina's work has been exhibited throughout New Zealand and more recently internationally.

Henry Turner - has been creating art since he was able to hold a pen or brush and works in pencil, charcoal, watercolour, and oil pastels. He is passionate about environmental and conservation issues and has been using the proceeds from art prizes and successful exhibitions to buy stoat traps and help save the birds he loves.

Friday 2nd March 2018

Brookside Park, in Rolleston will be a hive of activity from 4pm March 17th through to 10am March 18th as members of the Selwyn community take part in the annual Relay for Life.

Relay For Life is an inspirational and fun fundraising event for everyone of all fitness levels, during which participants celebrate with survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer and come together as a community to fight back against the disease.

Teams register to participate in the event and they spend the weeks beforehand raising funds, which all go back to the Canterbury-West Coast region and assist the Cancer Society provide supportive care for cancer patients, their carers, whanau and friends, and fund cancer research.

On the day teams set up camp for an overnight stay and team members take turns, relay style, walking/running around the track for eighteen hours while enjoying a carnival atmosphere and fantastic community camaraderie.

Zoe Robertson, Robertson team organiser of JRC Walkers, initially entered as a team member in 2016. Like many others who participate, Zoe’s life has been touched by cancer in various ways. “ From a thirty year old friend and an Auntie who we lost to Cancer, to

Page 3

currently watching my nanna battle the disease for the third time in her life (she is going to join us for the ‘Survivors’ Lap’ aka. the opening ceremony).”

Zoe describes her team as a ‘bag of misfits’. Last year it was literally thrown together fortyeight hours beforehand (this year it is much the same).

“Last year the first to join us was ex-local KiriKiri-Ana Houkamau (nee George) George and her husband Waiz, Waiz Stephan Williamson and his wife Shannon also joined us, with their children, and from there we just grabbed anyone that we could - we even had people turning up in the middle of the night to help us out! This year’s team is made up of the same people,” Zoe commented.

Relay for Life organisers are still looking for teams to join the Selwyn event. More teams not

only equal more funds raised, but also equal more fun.

“It’s easy to put together a team, just get some friends together, jump on the website and register. You don’t even need to be fit,” an enthusiastic Zoe explained.

“At the moment we are focussing as hard as we can on just getting sponsors and donations from friends, family, local businesses and other business contacts,” Zoe added.

“The Relay For Life really is something special, it’s such a unique way to raise both awareness and money for a very worthy cause. This is just my way of helping raise awareness and to show support to those that I have loved and lost,” Zoe concluded.

Lance Irving, Irving the Managing Director and owner of luxury home building company Irving Builders, based in West Melton, ‘jumped’ at the opportunity to sponsor this year’s Jump for Cancer fund raising event.

“I am very fortunate to be able to get involved, and to sponsor this incredible event. We want to do our bit for society, to help create awareness, and to raise money for such a great cause,” Lance said.

Jump for Cancer is a showjumping competition held in Hagley Park to raise funds for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation, and to help raise the profile of showjumping in New Zealand. Jump for Cancer was first introduced to Christchurch last year by cancer survivor Lisa Tennekoon.

Tennekoon This year Jump for Cancer is

looking to build upon last year’s efforts by getting more sponsors on board, from businesses such as Irving Builders.

Creator of the event Lisa said, “Jump for Cancer appreciates all the support from its sponsors of this event. Without them this event could not happen and so we are extremely grateful for the likes of Irving Builders who are sponsoring us for the very first time.

“This is a great opportunity for a wonderful family day out,” Lisa said, “with the added opportunity of watching some of New Zealand’s top show jumpers compete.

“This is a free event for the public, but has VIP tickets and packages available. It’s only the second time showjumping

has been held in the Park and lastly, but most importantly, it’s a Charity fundraiser for Breast Cancer,” Lisa finished.

Members of the public can help out by attending, and donating on the day; there may also be an opportunity for some community groups to help out with set up of the event.

New local midwife Hayley Slater and her family farm on the outskirts of Darfield. Hayley is a Registered Midwife and describes herself as having a passion for the support of rural women during their childbirth journey.

“I feel that pregnancy and childbirth is such a special time in a family's life, and I am honoured to be part of women’s childbirth journeys,” Hayley said. “I work within a well-established practice called the Selwyn Community Midwives and there are nine midwives within this practice. I work closely with my practice partner Bonnie Hunter to ensure women have 24/7 care available.”

Hayley offers midwifery care to women in the Selwyn District and in some circumstances will go outside the district to

ensure women who live in isolated areas also receive care. She gives continuity of care and provides antenatal, labour, birth and postnatal care to all women throughout their pregnancy and childbirth journey until six weeks after the baby has been born.

“Prior to becoming a midwife, I worked as a registered nurse in both medical and maternity settings,” Hayley added. “I feel strongly about providing individualised care to women and their families and I am passionate about supporting women to experience a normal birth by creating a calm, safe birthing environment. I am confident, involving other health professionals when required, to ensure the safety of women and their babies.”

Hayley holds clinics in both Darfield and Lincoln and she

How would you like to be able to peel back the curtain and see directly into the future?

Would you want to know what would happen in say five or ten years in your life? Would you be game enough to actually do it? There are many who claim to be able to let us know what the future holds. Reading tea leaves, tarot cards, crystal balls or psychic readings have all been ways people have

used to satisfy their desire to know what the future holds.

But is there any trusted source we can consult? Can anyone really know for sure? Well according to the Ancient Scriptures the answer is yes.

The Bible states that “God alone knows the future” and He chooses to reveal it to His servants the prophets.

A careful study into its pages will soon discover many times when God foretold an event that happened exactly as He declared. But what if I told you that there was a dream given to an ancient King that revealed the history of the world right down to our day and beyond. A dream so amazing that the history books declare its unerring accuracy. Would that whet your appetite to at least look into it? As we grapple with worsening natural disasters, as

1D Cardale St, Darfield Ph 03 318 8836 www.darfieldpreschool.co.nz This time of year is traditionally the time when there is increased activity in relation to the harvesting of outdoor cannabis plots.

People are asked to be aware of any activity in areas where cannabis may be grown. These areas are typically in amongst scrub and trees where the cannabis can remain hidden from casual observers and is generally close to roads or tracks to give the grower ease of access.

If you come across any plants, the best course of action is to note their location and advise Police as soon as possible. If you notice any unusual activity in relation to vehicles please obtain a registration number and description and advise Police.

There has been some concern expressed in relation to possible drug use, or possession, at the Darfield Skate Park. This has also included information that someone is in possession of drugs which look like lollies. To date Police are not aware of any such drugs in the Darfield area. If anyone has any definite information relating to drugs, either the possession, or supply, please contact Police.

Parents are reminded that unfortunately drugs are everywhere.

Despite the best efforts of many agencies, illicit drugs remain relatively easy to obtain if desired. All drugs have an effect, and the effect of many of the drugs available is very detrimental to the user, and society as a whole. It is worth having a conversation with your children to ensure they are aware of the dangers, and know what to do if they are offered drugs, or are aware of others using, or dealing, in drugs.

The new owners of the Darfield Eco Garden Centre Rex Verity, Verity Jane Vaissaire and family thank all those from the community who visited the Garden Centre on Saturday, February 17th and helped to make their Opening Day such a great success.

After an early morning Blessing Ceremony from local Waitaha elders the place was positively buzzing all day with friends and customers wishing the pair well and commenting positively on the changes made already.

“The wagon wheel windows in the fence are definitely a hit, as they connect people on the street with the garden,” Rex and Jane enthused. “John John and Amiria Grenell, Grenell known to many, entertained us during the day with their lovely songs and popular RainbowLilly, the fairy, created many colourful faces for the young and the not so young.”

Rex and Jane would love to see

visitors in their business and hope folk will call and appreciate the planned changes soon to take place, along with the new stock arriving each week.

“Locals for locals - is our motto,” the pair concluded.

Contact us for an appointment Built between 1874 and 1891, the beautiful ‘Pine House’, Waddington, is currently up for sale. The original building of two rooms and a bathroom was lived in by brothers Frederick and Albert Bull who entered into partnership as butchers for the small township of Malvern, as today’s Waddington was originally named.

From these humble beginnings ‘Pine House’ has evolved over the years to now contain five bedrooms, a sitting room, library, snug, kitchen, two bathrooms and an additional large living space that was once the ‘butcher’s shop’. Set in approximately ¾ acre the grounds features a rose garden, a small orchard, large lawns, native plantings and many mature trees including a Spanish Fir and a Kowhai tree that are listed with Selwyn District Council. The original, old brick dairy still stands to the rear of the property, but to accommodate modern-day requirements there has been the addition of a double garage and a substantial off road parking area for cars.

Over the years owners have

Owners over the years have kept the external weather boards of the ’Pine House’ regularly painted and replaced where necessary, and earthquake work, which included re-piling the house and securing the chimney stacks, has also been completed.

On Sunday, February 25th, three ‘Darfield Touch’ teams played in a Rolleston Touch Tournament. The Darfield (Malvern) teams comprised of an Open Mixed division (adults) team called 'MnM's', a Year 5 and 6 team of predominantly girls, called 'Trumpets' and a Year 3 and 4 team with only one year 4, and one sub, named the 'Malvernite's.

Each team played a minimum of five, twenty minute games at the Rolleston Reserve and did extremely well given it was the first Touch tournament for the majority. Tournament organisers Nui Mikka Ririnui from Rolleston Rugby League teamed up with Sheavoynne Mouat, Mouat Revelations Canterbury Sport to organise the FREE tournament that attracted over forty teams ranging from 5 year olds to 55 year olds.

The day was about whanau (family), fitness and fun, and feedback suggests this was achieved along with other

successes that come within a tournament environment.

Malvernites (Y3&4) had two draws, two losses and a win, Trumpets (Y5&6) came second in their age group and MnM's (adults) faced a drop-off in the final, also coming second.

“We’d like to thank Nui, who’s based in Rolleston, for his ongoing efforts to create a positive sporting environment,”

said Terina and Joe of Darfield touch. “We also give huge thanks to all of the Darfield Touch parents that supported on the day and of course the fantastic players that positively represented us. We were so pleased to see them having fun and showcasing their skills - ka rawe (awesome),” the pair concluded!

At the Crusaders vs Chiefs Super Rugby game in Christchurch last Saturday night local boy Lachie Daly caught up with his cousin, All Black and Chief’s player, Brodie Retallick. “Lach's got a little bit of growing to do to catch up with his tall relatives,” commented Lachie’s mum. Jen Daly!

Friday 2nd March 2018

More than 3,000 children from Christchurch and surrounding areas, swam, cycled and ran their way to the finish line as part of the Christchurch leg of the Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon.

The popular kids’ event which is run around the Nation from early December through to early April was held at Jellie Park, Burnside on Sunday, February 25th.

This year’s Christchurch event was so popular, with numbers swelling beyond expectations, that it resulted in the event selling out eight weeks prior.

This prompted organisers, to create a second session on the day to meet the unprecedented demand. This was a first in the twenty-six year race history that a second race on the same day was run to meet public demand.

There were 2150 children, aged

7 to 15, in the morning session and a further 1150 in the afternoon session. “Collectively, it was the largest event that we have ever run,” Sanitarium national marketing manager Jessica Manihera said.

The increase in children aged 7 -15 enrolling for the iconic sporting event continues the trend for the TRYathlon’s growing popularity nationally; the very first event in 1992, saw just 800 entrants, while numbers for the 2016/17 TRYathlon series were close to 30,000.

A large number of local Selwyn children contributed to the higher than usual Canterbury participation numbers. Most started their day extremely early to get into town to register their attendance and enjoy the delicious breakfast that was on offer from Sanitarium before joining the race.

Once they had completed the race all competitors were given their medals by six sporting ambassadors, including renowned triathlete Cameron Brown, Brown a two-time silver medal winner at the Ironman World Championship.

There have been many reports of happy, beaming children pleased with their achievements and many already looking forward to next year’s event.

Five years since becoming an incorporated society, Selwyn Parenting Network (SPN) is doing what it does best and giving back to the community.

They are officially celebrating their fifth birthday on Children’s Day New Zealand with a free community event for Selwyn families, caregivers and children.

Whilst the official fifth birthday was back in November 2017, SPN have chosen to mark the milestone date on a nationally recognised day; Children's Day (Te rā o ngā Tamariki) this Sunday, March 4th.

Recognised on the first Sunday of March each year, Children’s Day provides New Zealander’s with an opportunity to celebrate and give time to children.

As SPN Coordinator Kate Webb explained, “this has proven to be the perfect day for Selwyn Parenting Network to put on its flagship annual free event and provide an opportunity for families, and communities to celebrate and nurture our children.

“The day is as much a celebration of children as an opportunity to engage all of New Zealand and encourage them to think about their responsibility to support the lives of tamariki in their communities. And this year we get to showcase fabulous new

park facilities, because we’re hosting our event at Foster Park, Rolleston.”

SPN was established with the vision of creating strong, connected, confident and caring families, whanau and communities in Selwyn.

“We have a strong and varied knowledge base within our dedicated team of volunteers, committee and part-time staff, all of whom create an incredible infrastructure of connected resources for parents and caregivers,” Kate explained.

“We are all parents ourselves, with first-hand experience of the need to reach out for specific advice, support, guidance and help across a broad spectrum of parenting needs - from birth right through to parenting young adults. Parenting is not something that you can put a time limit on; it’s a lifelong responsibility.

“We recognise that many parents and caregivers are not always aware of the right organisation to approach, and

that’s where SPN can help – acting as a networking conduit b e t w e e n t h e s p ec i a l i s t providers,” Kate added.

The SPN flagship Children’s Day Event has proven to be a popular celebration over the years, providing all communities in Selwyn with an opportunity to come together and enjoy a range of free activities and entertainment, including bouncy castles, sausage sizzles, pony rides, magic shows, face painting, sports activities, music and more!!

“We are indebted to our incredible community supporters, sponsors and volunteers who devote their time and energy leading up to, and on, the day. This event gives every parent, caregiver and child the chance to enjoy a free family event with free activities and giveaways,” Kate concluded.

“The Hororata Night Glow is a community event which will bring many benefits, primarily raising the profile of this dynamic rural community,” Cindy said. “There are a number of large-scale projects in the pipeline for the district, including the proposed new

Hororata Community Centre, which could benefit from the event, once it is established.

“The Hororata Community Trust has a proven track record of running great festivals, for example, the Hororata Highland Games,” Cindy commented. “We have a strong, passionate and willing community who give their

Nicholas and Michael Oakley (of Ballooning Canterbury) the driving force behind the forthcoming Night Glow event.

KIMBER RURAL FENCING FENCING time to make these events amazing and the Hororata Night Glow will be no different.

The advantage our community has with the staging of this event is that local balloon operator; Ballooning Canterbury has the passion, contacts and knowledge to get the balloons to Hororata. It’s envisaged there will be more than ten balloons attending including some with special shapes.

“There is no other Night Glow event in the South Island and the Hororata Domain is a fabulous venue,” Cindy enthused. “It offers free onsite parking, and organisers have an afternoon of food, music and entertainment planned, concluding with the hot air balloons lighting the sky (and more music). We definitely have the recipe for a successful festival,” Cindy concluded.

FLIES, FLIES, FLIES What a season, high temperatures and humidity have really made the fly season unpleasant for so many people. When we treat the inside of a house for flies it doesn’t stop them coming into your house, but will kill them when they aim for the windows, or land on walls and surfaces. And killing them doesn’t happen immediately, it takes some +me, as you have to live in the house too.

A brown blowfly takes about forty-five minutes to die.

House flies however, take longer as they become hyperac+ve during hot weather and stand much taller on their legs avoiding belly contact with surfaces. It’s their belly that absorbs the product, so we have to wait for them to preen themselves, to ingest the product through their proboscis, or absorb it through their thorax. Of course when there are flies around they will try to land on you, because we didn’t spray you and they know you are a safe place to land.

On a hot day when you have all the doors and windows open and many flies are coming in, a lot of them will pick up the product and go outside to die, and fresh ones will replace them. Hence people feel the product isn’t working; but it’s just a numbers thing in hot weather. To keep the fly numbers down don’t leave piles of grass clippings lying around, pick up dog faeces and wash out your wheelie bins. On a hot day open windows on the windy side of the house, not the lee side. Flies don’t like air movement and will gather in areas where there is the least amount of air movement. If you are cooking, that is of course an invita+on inside, to more s+ll air. So with predic+ons of a warmer climate to come, the more liLle things you do to help in your own surroundings, the more efficiently the pest control products work.

ARCHIE IS MISSING

New members wanted - please come and join us, all ages, no equipment needed.

He has been missing since early February from Preston Downs.

Two little girls are devastated by the loss of their feline family member.

And we feel even worse as we were looking after him while they were away.

Large fluffy tabby, 2 years old, microchipped.

Phone Dianne 027 388 7552 or 03 260 1364

We are very anxious to get him back!
