Rubie Leech celebrated her eighth birthday on June 10th and looking back it has been a very successful year. Not only has she become a star on New Zealand’s favourite youngsters’ television programme, ‘What Now’ but has celebrated successes recently with dance. Rubie attended the New Zealand Dance Awards (NZDA) competition which was held at the ARA Institute of Canterbury in Christchurch, over Queen’s Birthday weekend. She had three different dances to perform, with her Lyrical dance on Friday morning and then Jazz and Musical Theatre on Saturday morning. “We had two very early starts of 5.30am and 5.45am to get her hair and makeup done before we headed into town,” Rubie’s mother, Kylie Leech explained. “Leading up to this competition, Rubie had been quite sick with a cold, so she only got a couple of practices in once she was feeling well enough,” Kylie added. This didn’t stop Rubie from coming away with a first placing in her Jazz class, third in the Lyrical and fourth for Musical Theatre. “She was thrilled with her results,” Kylie said. “It was a well-deserved win. She was up against a few dancers from the North Island, so it was the biggest win she has had to date.” This is Rubie’s second year of competition in her Jazz and

Musical Theatre routines, but it was only her fourth time in total performing Lyrical on stage, as it was a new genre of dance for her this year. “At the moment her favourite dance is the Lyrical because it’s new, but she still loves the other two as well,” Kylie laughed. “We are very proud of her. She works very hard at her dancing and loves every minute of it. She attends dance classes four days a week and also plays netball, so she is a busy wee girl.” On top of the dance and netball, Rubie has her own segment on ‘What Now’, called Racing with Rubie. After dancing at the NZDA, Rubie stopped in at ‘What Now’ to meet with the presenters and

directors. She also did a mock interview with Chris Kirk, where she taught him some of her dance moves. Rubie will continue with her busy schedule for the rest of the year with more ‘What Now Racing with Rubie’ segments to film. There will also be a large number of dance competitions

and exams that she will attend throughout the South Island. “It’s going to be a very busy second half of the year,” Kylie said. “We would like to thank Rubie’s dance school (TM Dance World and all their lovely teachers) for supporting her in her fun-filled dance journey.”

The Darfield Community Response Team will show ‘Civil Defence Quake Ready’ at the Malvern Recreation Centre on Thursday, July 5th. The forty minute video produced by the University of Canterbury explains the latest science around the Alpine Fault. It examines some of the impacts and potential damage that could expect to be seen across the South Island, including to roads and

infrastructure. It also explains what an Alpine Fault earthquake is likely to feel like. The Alpine Fault is estimated to rupture about every 300 years and produce a magnitude 8 earthquake. Based on scientific research, the last quake of this kind is believed to have occurred around 1717. “This means that there is a chance that a similar event could occur in our lifetime, so

it is vital for everyone to be prepared,” said a spokesperson for the Darfield Community Response team. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and a member of the Selwyn District Council’s Emergency Team will be present to provide further information and advice.

The Malvern Community Arts Council (MCAC) is throwing a party on Saturday, June 23rd and invites the community to come along.

This Gala Anniversary Celebration will be held at the Darfield Recreation Centre to mark the fortieth anniversary of the founding of MCAC in 1978. “We are inviting the Malvern community, along with volunteer committee members (past and present), artist members, and local dignitaries to join us for a celebratory evening of music, short congratulatory speeches, finger food and refreshments,” MCAC Chairperson Philip Baldwin said. “We are celebrating the Malvern Community Arts Council’s work over the past forty years. It is also important for us to thank the legion of local volunteers for their tireless efforts in this work, and the community that has supported us,” Philip added. “More than just celebrating the past, though, this event will highlight our ongoing commitment to providing engaging exhibitions at the

Selwyn Gallery, putting on Darfield Artweek, and sponsoring entertaining concerts.” Gala organisers found the minutes of the first Malvern Community Arts Council AGM in 1979, which concluded with the following vote of thanks: “Mrs N. Pearson expressed thanks to the chairwoman and council for all the work they had done during the past year, believing that this had laid a good foundation for cultural life in the county in the years ahead.” Commenting on this entry, Philip said, “the success of the MCAC for the past forty years is due to the initial work of a small group of community-minded people and the broad community support it has enjoyed. We invite the people of Malvern to join us in celebrating the cultural life in our district.”

“It’s a nice problem to have too many books, not enough room,” reported Rev Susan Baldwin when speaking of the forthcoming fundraising book sale at Trinity Church. Every year the number of generous, used book, donations (all of which are greatly appreciated) to the Malvern Anglican Parish gets bigger and bigger. This large number of books has become harder and harder to display at the Country Fair and Crafts day in an easy and effective way and so this year has seen a new initiative introduced. The Malvern Anglican Parish has decided to separate out the Used Book Table from the Country Fair and Craft Day and to hold a new

Contact us for an appointment On June 23rd, St Peter’s Community Church in Springfield will hold a fundraising ‘Fred Fred Bull Film Evening’ to raise funds for repairs to the exterior of the Church. The Church, which was built in 1885, has not had a lot of maintenance done in the past twenty or thirty years and so to pre se rve it for fut ure generations the congregation is focussing on this. Over the summer the roof was repaired and painted, and this spring will see the next stage of repairs begin. Springfield is a growing community and this is reflected

in the increase in services at the Church. There are now two services a month, one in the morning on the first Sunday of the month, and then an evening service on the third Sunday of the month. “Fred has very kindly offered to show some of his father’s films of the Springfield, Sheffield and the Malvern area of farming and community life from as early as the 1930’s,” one of the event organisers said. “In the past these evenings have proven to be very popular as they are a great community get together and a display of

the years gone by and how technology has changed. “The film evening will be held in St Peter’s Church as we want to encourage the community to come and see the interior of the building while enjoying a look back on the history of the Malvern District. “You will be welcomed with either a cup of mulled wine or a hot blackcurrant drink and then you can sit back and reminisce over days gone by.” Organisers have not set an entry charge for the evening but would appreciate donations toward their fundraising goal and these can be made on the night. “It’s guaranteed to be a great community get together for both young and old.”

The first of two planned sleepovers took place on Thursday, June 7th at the Darfield Preschool & Nursery. The sleepovers are a special annual event and have been for six years now, as well as a time of celebration for all the fouryear-olds who attend the Preschool. The first ever sleepover only had twelve children staying over, but as the Preschool has grown, so have the number of participants. This year there were thirty-six children sleeping over, which meant that the Preschool had to schedule two groups of eighteen children, at each sleepover! “The sleepover builds on the

children’s sense of belonging to a group; and preschool whanau, builds their confidence, independence and social skills, as well as links with the outside world,” a spokesperson for the Preschool explained. “There’s always lots of conversation and an emphasis on being together having fun and being responsible for themselves and others.” This year the sleepover included a bonfire in the sandpit, a disco, a nail parlour, glow in the dark bowling, a treasure hunt and lots more activities.

The excitement is added to with the build-up throughout the week when decorations and placemats are made, as well as decorating the Preschool before the sleepover. Teachers willingly give up their own time as this is an activity outside of the Preschool’s Ministry of Education license, but are always amazed how much fun the evening is. It was reported that all the teachers were extremely proud of the children and how well they did.

The tree planting is part of the ongoing development of the Kirwee Recreational Reserve, which will also include a new plaque with the names of the fallen from the local area. The Kirwee Recreational Reserve committee and the Kirwee Township committee are working together on this project and were delighted to have 25 volunteers turn up to help with the planting.

The Mid-winter Dinner and Dance held as a fundraiser at Kirwee on June 9th was an outstanding success for organisers Amy Truscott (left) and Lisa Watson (right). The pair are among a contingent of local players attending the forthcoming Hockey World Masters and the funds raised from the event will assist substantially with their expenses. The pair were overwhelmed with the support from their family, friends and community with 140 people attending the 3-course meal followed by a night of dancing to DJ Singh Star. The event raised $7,000 towards the trip where they will represent New Zealand at the Hockey Masters World Cup in Spain.

ACROSS THE STREET ACROSS THE WORLD THE BEST MOVES ARE MADE WITH GRACE

Recently students from around Canterbury had the opportunity to attend the National Young Leaders Day (NYLD) at the Horncastle Arena in Christchurch. West Melton (WM) School sent a group of Intermediate students to the event which was held on Wednesday, May 30th. National Young Leaders Day is an annual event that is held throughout New Zealand. It is the largest and longest running leadership event for primary and intermediate school students. The Day’s aim is to develop student leadership and be both inspirational and practical. Since 2001, when the programme began, 110,000 students have been inspired to take on leadership roles. WM school reporter Daisy attended the event and had this to say about it: “NYLD stands for National Young Leaders Day! Every year schools come to see NYLD at Horncastle Arena. When we got there, there were thousands of kids, it was incredible! When it finally started the two hosts Christian Gallen and Liz Alexander came out on stage and told us that there would be a lot of inspiring leaders talking to us about what’s good about being a leader and how to be a good leader. The following people talked to us; Amanda Wilson, Vince Harder, Jono Naylor, Riley Hathaway, William Wairua, James Beck and Te Waka McLeod.

Daisy enjoyed her National Young Leaders Day. All of these people were so inspiring and each person that talked to us was amazing. They gave us great tips on how a leader should think! Amanda said that we shouldn’t be ashamed of who we are and always be yourself no matter what, even if you are different! Me Whakaro Rangatira - think like a leader!” Daisy concluded.

The Malvern and Courtenay A & P Associations 2018 combined Winter Feed Competition was held on June 6th and 7th with 66 paddocks judged over a wide area, from Rolleston to the Avoca. “Entry numbers were nearly double on the last few years which was great for the competition,” said Guy Bassett, Bassett one of the event’s organisers. The competition was judged by Mark Kearney (Agricom) and Peter Abrahamson (farmer at Darfield), with stewards Guy Bassett and Brent Chamberlain (Malvern A & P), along with Ashley Seaton (Courtenay A & P).

Police are gearing up for new firearms safety training for first time licence applicants when firearms’ safety training changes from July 1st. The Police have been working with the firearms’ community to improve safety outcomes by delivering an enhanced firearms’ safety training programme for first-time firearms’ licence applicants. “Much like the process for obtaining a driver’s licence, firsttime applicants will need to pass a theory test and undergo practical training to obtain a firearms’ licence,” said Acting Superintendent Mike McIlraith. McIlraith “For many years the current theory-only programme has provided new firearms’ users with a solid start. But over recent years Police and the firearms’ community identified the opportunity to build on this and provide first-time applicants with a practical hands-on component to complement the theoretical.” The theory test is a computerbased multi-choice test which will be delivered by Police using the s a me s ys t e m u s e d for computerised driver licence theory tests. Firearm licence applicants will be

able to sit the firearms theory test at all Automobile Association (AA) driver licensing outlets; including all AA Centres, AA Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agents and the AA’s Rural Mobile Units, as well as all Vehicle Testing New Zealand branches that offer driver licensing throughout the country. Applicants must pass the theory test before they can attend the firearms practical training course. The practical course and training on safe-handling of firearms will be delivered by firearms instructors from the Mountain Safety Council across the country. Police are also working with Fire and Emergency New Zealand around the potential use of volunteer fire stations in some locations. In addition, the Whakatupato course will continue to provide firearms safety training in remote and isolated communities. The firearms theory test and practical training require applicants to show that they have a strong understanding of the Arms Code and how to stay safe with firearms. “As pleased as the Police are to

deliver the new firearms’ safety programme, new firearms’ users will still need to gain experience using firearms safely in a variety of settings. “Tapping into Clubs with experienced firearms’ users who can pass on that valuable knowledge and experience is a vital part of being a responsible firearms user. “ We wa nt t he fir e a r ms community to continue to support new firearms users. Police are seeking help from firearms’ Clubs, and the volunteer instructors from the programme ending June 30th, to provide communit y-bas ed mentoring and to partner with new firearms’ users. “Imagine a person getting their firearms’ licence because they want to go hunting, but they don’t know any hunters. Clubs play a vital role in bringing new firearms’ users together with experienced users. Having a new practical component and a community of people keen to coach and mentor new firearms’ users will contribute significantly to improved safety outcomes. And that is what the Police wants.”

A leading advocate for biosecurity and a thirty-year contributor to organisations that support growers were honoured at the Federated Farmers Arable Industry conference in Timaru on June 6th. Former Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) CEO Nick Pyke was presented with the Federated Farmers Biosecurity Farmer of the Year Award and local Greendale farmer Syd Worsfold was named Federated Farmers Arable Farmer of the Year in recognition of his contribution over the last three decades to the arable industry and stakeholder groups, Federated Farmers, FAR and United Wheatgrowers. The Arable Farmer of the Year Award is about recognising excellence in the sector, acknowledging someone who balances production and profit drivers against environmental, sustainability and other compliance requirements and the selectors felt that Syd definitely fitted that bill. Feds Arable Vice-Chair Brian Leadley said Syd had worked extensively, “not only for the betterment of his own arable farming business, but also his peers and future generations of arable farmers”. Syd, who today farms 400 hectares at Greendale in partnership with his son Earl, Earl has been involved with Federated Farmers as North

Canterbury Arable Chairperson (1992 to 1994) and then on the Arable Council. He has been involved with United Wheatgrowers for the last thirty years, first as an Electoral College member and then a Director. Syd was also part of the first committee which looked at establishing the Foundation for Arable Research (FAR), and a member of the Northern South Island Arable Research Group (ARG). He has also been a member of the Arable Industry Marketing Initiative Committee (AIMI) since its inception. The Federated Farmers outgoing Arable Chairperson Guy Wigley described Syd as a quiet, unassuming and effective leader. "This award is in recognition of his achievements, leadership and contribution to the arable industry, which despite contributing around $750 million to the nation’s GDP, typically flies under the radar in New Zealand." Syd commented that he was surprised and humbled by the award but felt it went some way towards recognition for his top level involvement in a raft of arable groups and committees. “I had no idea or expectation of achieving the Award,” Syd added, “this is only the second year of its existence - so it really was an honour. I understand the recipients are selected by the Arable Executive of

To the Editors: A big thank you to the Malvern News from the Kirwee Hall Committee, for the article printed before our A.G.M. As a result of this article we had an attendance of 25 persons at our A.G.M. We were able to form a new active Committee. We have had one fund raising activity since this meeting with another three coming up in the next few months. The main project for the new committee is to make sure our contents and public liability insurance are in place. Also to get our Hall monitored for fire prevention. We are not very happy with the Council’s decision to put a Hall rate on the Kirwee ratepayers, as the Kirwee Hall is privately owned by the Courtenay A & P Association and we will be unable to access any of these funds. We are hoping that we can reach some compromise with the Council.

A. Begg Secretary, Kirwee.

Federated Farmers. “I had proposed stepping down from some of my committee obligations, but a replacement wasn’t found, so I will continue with the status quo in the meantime, but try to get back under the radar working with colleagues and industry to improve the lot of arable farmers,” Syd smiled. “I have been involved with some wonderful people along the way - farmers, industry personnel and staff and have enjoyed the time enormously. My particular passion has been growing milling wheat for the local flour mills. However I could not have put the time into this industry without the support of my wife Trish and family. Particularly between 1990-2010 when I was away several days per week and then only had nights and weekends to catch up on the farm. Glad there’s not quite so much of this nowadays,” Syd concluded.

There would be few farming families in the locality that wouldn’t have a pair or pairs of Red Band gumboots at the door. The iconic brand is turning sixty years old and celebrating that fact throughout the country. What makes a Skellerup Red Band Gumboot so good? There are very few quality manufacturers of hand-built natural rubber gumboots in the world. Of those, Skellerup ranks as one of the global leaders in gumboot manufacturing and Red Bands have remained unchanged (apart from the inclusion of a sponge insole for added comfort) for sixty years. The key to their longevity is: The high-specification rubber formulation which makes the boots long-lasting, hardwearing and comfortable. They have greater flex resistance which means the boots can flex several million times without showing any surface cracking. Add to this the heavy duty, 100 percent cotton canvas lining which gives the entire boot its

firm structure and strength. It also ensures that the boots’ rubber components won’t separate, unlike most cotton sock-lined gumboots. Internal canvas reinforcing is a unique design feature to Skellerup gumboots that assists with the structure of the boot. More importantly, it protects the gumboot from tearing and puncturing against sharp objects - they are also known for their heavy-duty, non-clog, cleated sole . Skellerup’s gumboots are made to include ultra-violet protection to help guard against New Zealand’s harsh, rubber degrading, sunshine and are made to fit New Zealanders specific foot shapes, being typically wider than normal. Every pair of Skellerup gumboots is hand-made, handrolled and hand-inspected prior to dispatch. The first pair of iconic Red Band gumboots rolled out of Skellerup’s former Woolston factory (where they were made until the late 1980’s), Marathon

Page 13

Rubber Footwear, and into the hearts of rural New Zealanders on October 21st, 1958 and are still hand made using the original specifications. Each Red Band gumboot is made up of 38 individual rubber components and six different rubber formulations. The first pairs of Red Band gumboots retailed for twenty five shillings and 11 pence. Today, a pair of men’s Red Band gumboots retail for about NZD$80 and since 2003 have been produced at the company’s new factory in Jiangsu, China. Red Band gumboots were New Zealand’s, and probably the world’s, first short gumboot when traditionally gumboots always came to just below the knee. Few would disagree that Red Bands are the no-nonsense gumboot that work for, and last, a lifetime.

As part of this year’s New Zealand Music month celebrations, The Southern Celtic Fiddle Orchestra performed at the Leeston Library on Saturday, May 26th to an appreciative audience of Ellesmere locals. The group has been playing together for the last twelve years and draws together musicians from Ashburton and Christchurch, plus the Selwyn and Waimakariri areas. All of whom have a passion for the music, instruments and culture of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. The group has a wonderful variety of instruments which include: accordions, violins, banjo, bodhran (an Irish drum), tin whistle, recorder, a bagpipe,

voice and harp. Add to the mix the beautiful vocal lyrics and melodies of Celtic folk tunes and the toetapping rhythms of an Irish jig or rant, and it’s community music at its best! It’s reported that the group is a wonderful place to develop musical skills and experience first-hand the Celtic style of playing and they welcome

The past year has been a dynamic one for the Ellesmere Big Band with a number of changes and additions to their line-up and a variety of new music and new performance opportunities. Band players come from across Selwyn, including Darfield, West Melton, Lincoln, Leeston, Dunsandel, Prebbleton and Burnham Army Camp, as well as further afield. Matt Davies was appointed as

Musical Director at the beginning of 2017 when Riwai Hina moved to Wellington to pursue further musical studies. Matt brings a wealth of experience as a professional jazz musician, multiinstrumentalist, arranger and music teacher and is imparting his knowledge in a manner that is yielding great results! Although the Band’s hall and Tuesday night practices are based in Leeston they play regularly for various Ellesmere community events, as well as at venues across the Selwyn and Christchurch districts. Bookings in the last year have included the Christchurch Swing Dancing Festival, social dancing nights, a corporate function for Ryman Healthcare at the Christchurch Airforce Museum, the Christchurch Folk Club and the annual Christchurch Big Band Festival. In addition to these, they have also played at regular local community events such as ANZAC Day, the Ellesmere A & P Show, the Leeston Fete and the Lincoln

It aims to celebrate New Zealand music and the people who make it and a wide range of groups and events are organised across the country each year.

Christmas Parade. The Band has welcomed numerous new members over the last year including: Nicole and Gary Garner (Vocals and Sound), Graeme Bellamy (Tenor Sax), Tim Nees (Alto Sax), Amanda Hawke (Alto Sax), Janet Carter (Trombone), Charles Breurkes (Rhythm Guitar), and Ethan Trethewey (Tenor Sax). The Band has also seen the return of Dave Neil (Trumpet) after a break of some years. Dave is currently one of the longest serving members of the big band and has been playing in the district for the last forty years! The band has been performing in Canterbury since 1902 and is enjoying a full and vibrant sound with the recent increase in players. “With around twenty musicians playing catchy swing and jazz favourites, it’s entertainment that really makes a lasting impression,” said a Band spokesperson.
