Fortunately for organisers of the local fundraising fair held in Darfield on July 1st, the weather was wintery warm, fine and sunny. That fact was reflected in the number of folk who turned up to support the event - 150 of them in fact!

Organiser Samantha Clough said that the Fair, which was staged to raise funds for a local family who lost their household contents in a recent fire, had a number of ‘crowd pleaser’ sections and she was heartened by the compliments and feedback received.

“Many folk commented on what fun it was to participate in the races,” Sam said. “The egg and

spoon, the sack races and the Fire Brigade’s obstacle course were all a big hit. So much so that people were asking can we do it all again!

“Great music by Jumo Magbagbeola and a performance from Vaughan Smart, who at only thirteen, played both banjo and guitar for the crowd.”

Add to this bouncy castles, stalls, coffee, sausage sizzle and bake sale - the event was bound to be a roaring success.

The bake sale was hosted by Rural Women New Zealand and followed the baking competition (Rural Women provided the judges) where the winners

were announced for; Taste: Kat and Presentation: Nishida.

Nishida Raffle winners were also announced and organisers expressed their grateful appreciation for all the sponsorship they gained from businesses and individuals, and made special mention of Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton, Broughton who supported and attended the event.

“We raised $974.40,” Sam said, “which definitely wasn’t bad for a winter fair and my

first event.”

“I can’t thank the volunteers who assisted, enough,” Sam said.

“This event couldn’t have been the success it was, without their help and I really appreciate them being there to help me for the whole day. Overall it was successful - we raised enough money to help Briar and Aaron finish getting the essentials they need and some to buy the smaller items that just create that home environment for their family,” Samantha ended.

“It’s a nice problem to have: more used books than we had space for”, reported the Vicar of the Malvern Anglican Parish, Susan Baldwin, Baldwin as she explained why the Parish has changed its used book table into a four-day Book Fair. The book Fair will start this Saturday, July 7th, and extend through Monday and Tuesday morning. “Every year we seemed to receive more and more books. We moved from one small room in the Church, to a larger room, and even outgrew that.”

This year the entire Trinity Hall in Darfield will be filled with a wide selection of used books, DVDs, CDs, and jigsaw puzzles.

“One donor kindly dropped off about seventy jigsaw puzzles last week,” Susan commented.

“This past week a steady stream of books has been arriving from all over the area.

This includes five banana boxes full of children’s literature to add to the already impressive assortment of kids books that has been donated.”

The Book Fair will be open over four days and visitors are encouraged to browse at their leisure over a cup of tea or coffee, in the comfortable, well

Darfield Plunket and Toy Library are raising funds for a shade sail by organising a movie fundraiser, to go see ‘Mamma Mia 2 - Here we go again’. In the Abba filled sequel, Sophie finds out about her mother’s past life while enjoying the time before her own baby is born.

“This movie will be loads of fun to watch-especially in a cinema with lots of good friends,” commented one the event’s organisers.

Darfield Plunket and Toy Library are selling three types of tickets to cater for all: Bronze, gets a

seat in the cinema, while a Silver will get the seat and a few snacks as well (600 ml drink, popcorn and choctop). Anyone really feeling like enjoying a night out can purchase a Gold ticket which includes, a bus ride from Darfield, Kirwee or West Melton, a seat in the cinema, snacks and a three course meal at La Porchetta before being brought back home! If this doesn’t sound like enough, all the tickets have the chance to win some pretty awesome spot prizes!

“This is all happening at

3:30pm in Westfield Riccarton, on Sunday July 29th.

“If you want to purchase some tickets, Bronze and Silver are available from Mason’s Drapery, or for Bronze, Silver and Gold contact us via our Facebook page DarfieldPlunketToyLibrary.”

Thursday, June 28th was the culmination of two years hard work and administration, for members of numerous Canterbury Lions Clubs, when they presented a cheque for $180,000 to St John, Rolleston.

John Sunckell Chairman of Selwyn St John and speaking for the organisation said they were absolutely delighted with the Lions’ effort, which would greatly assist their ability to provide good service. They will endeavour to have a new ambulance ready to be consecrated at a special service to be held in Christchurch, this September. This will show the Lions’ emblem, plus acknowledge contributing Trusts and Clubs.

Project Chairman, Bill Pickering for Zone 8 Lions, said that six Clubs covering the surrounding areas of Ellesmere, Malvern, Rolleston, Selwyn, Halswell and Ch-Ch Chinese Lions, had worked hard for the two years to raise over $70 000. Three hundred members put in approximately 3,500 hours, parking cars, selling pea straw, take-a-ways at Field days etc, catering for special events, running bowling and bridge tournaments, selling firewood and numerous other events, to raise the funds.

A grant was obtained from the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), in Chicago for $90,000, which ensured the success of the project. LCIF has

also donated over $1 million to Christchurch City to replace Community facilities destroyed in two major earthquakes. The Lloyd Morgan Lions Clubs Charitable Trust, in New Zealand also contributed.

Westland Dairy Company, with local Dairy Farmer Peter Morrison as Chairman of Directors contributed $4000, demonstrating their commitment to community needs and to the Health and Safety of employees.

Bill said it was extremely satisfying to know the Ambulance would soon be ‘On the Road’, and thanked everyone who had been involved with the Project. “This fits our Lions’ motto of ‘We Serve’, perfectly,” he concluded.

When local business Gnomes Alpine Sports were approached

by Armstrong Subaru’s, Christchurch dealership, to partner up with them and offer a fantastic package deal on Subaru Outbacks, to entice skiers, it seemed like the ideal

Page 5

win/win for everyone. Skiers get a massive $3,000 free package with their new vehicle purchase - definitely something not be sniffed at! (The deal - buy the vehicle and get a Thule roof box, plus $1000. to spend at Gnomes - T’s & C’s apply.)

The 2018 Armstrong Subaru Outback at home in the mountains - heading to Porters on the first day of the 2018 season.

The 2018 Armstrong Subaru Outback surrounded by snow at Porters on the first day of the 2018 season.

Subaru has long been the vehicle of choice for outdoor enthusiasts and the 2018 Outback is perfectly geared for anyone heading to snowcovered mountains. With good ground clearance and the new X -mode, the Outback is easy to drive on steep or icy access roads. The suspension is comfortable to ride on, and off, road and the cargo space is massive; plenty of room for the family and all their gear.

Armstrong Motor Group specifically wanted to work with Gnomes Alpine Sports because of their outstanding reputation in the Canterbury area.

“Gnomes are a leader in the snow sports’ industry and considered Canterbury/ Christchurch’s premium store.”

“It’s a great honour to team up with Armstrong Subaru,” Gnomes Alpine Sports co-owner Ally Kerr commented. “Subaru is a strong brand with Cantabrians, and has been a staple with skiers for decades.”

The 2018 ski season is well and truly underway and Gnomes coowner Leith Kerr had the pleasure of taking the display Subaru (see it on South Terrace, outside Gnomes Alpine Sports) up to Porters for their first day of the season, last Friday.

“The ski season has kicked off extremely well this year,” Ally commented, “with numerous keen skiers and boarders hitting the slopes already. Mt Hutt has a great base for this time of year, as does Porters, and the Club fields. We have experienced super high volumes of sales this season and have already started to run out of certain products,” he added!

This win/win offer by Gnomes and Armstrong Subaru runs until the last day of July.

Darfield at Rainbow Games - June 2018.

Luckily the weather has been ‘only’ a bit wet and it’s only recently Jack Frost has been making an appearance; however this hasn’t affected Netball at all too much this season, ‘touch wood’. It’s been great to see all the Darfield Netball Club teams out on the court on Saturdays, in Red and Blue.

The season started off with Darfield Club Day, which was

attended by nearly all primary and high school players - which was great to see.

The theme of the day was Wearable Arts which required teams to choose their name and design a costume, with recyclable items, that represented their chosen name.

One brave team member was then selected to wear the

representative ‘costume’ and they were covered in materials that were glued, stapled, taped and/or wrapped. Once complete, the models paraded their outfits down the catwalk.

The day was full of fun and lots of laughs - a wonderful start, and good bonding time for all players.

Private Subconscious Therapy (PST) is a three-session therapy that engages the subconscious mind in iden+fying and correc+ng long-term unresolved emo+ons.

These unresolved emo+ons are responsible for many of our, mental, emo+onal, physical and rela+onal problems. Because our subconscious remembers everything that has ever happened to us PST can search the subconscious to locate these unresolved emo+ons and begin the process of dissolving them. As these unresolved emo+ons melt away a new relaxa+on and peacefulness follows.

How are unresolved emo+ons responsible for so much that troubles us?

Unresolved emo+ons result in the ‘fight or flight’ mechanism of our brains being par+ally jammed open. The effect of this par+al jamming means our natural ability to return to a state of calm is impeded, leaving us in a constant place of semi alarm. Over +me this leads to exhaus+on and also means we are easily triggered into big reac+ons by what may seem like small things. If our body/gut is upset, so is our brain, and neuro science research now understands the connec+on between, neuro transmiJers in our gut and in our brain. When these unresolved emo+ons are released the body/brain can return to a normal healthy balance and clients experience wellness, emo+onally, physically, mentally.

The apparent simplicity of PST belies the enormous power and people o2en report a return to a more relaxed and loving way of being. These results, plus the advantage of being a three-session therapy, limits cost and +me.

On June 23rd St Peter’s Community Church in Springfield held a fundraising ‘Fred Bull historical film evening’ to raise funds for repairs on the exterior of the church.

It was reported to be a fantastic night, with a good crowd in attendance and the Church looked beautiful all lit up with candles, and fairy lights. The mulled wine was very popular and well received on a cold clear night.

Spokesperson Jan Curle said, “people were very generous with their donations on the night.”

Event organisers would say a massive thanks to Fred Bull for sharing some of his father’s films of the surrounding area.

Oliver Moody and Zoe Spinks at ‘Check Please’.

On June 26th and 27th Darfield High School’s Drama Department presented the Jonathan Rand production ‘Check Please’, held in the School’s Drama Theatre.

Students enjoyed the opportunity of using the purpose built drama space. This production was a laugh-out-loud comedy that followed some colourful characters on a series of blind dates - getting more hilarious and catastrophic as they went.

The year groups involved were eleven - thirteen, with the production counted towards students’ NCEA credits. The assessment was to perform in front of a live audience with students on stage for a total of five shows. The three daytime performances attracted good crowd numbers and local rest home residents attending reported having a fabulous time.

The two evening performances went extremely well with the audience thoroughly enjoying the jokes and laughing throughout.

DHS students had so much fun presenting this production and absolutely loved hearing the audience laugh as they wowed them with their acting skills.

“It was awesome to hear the audience’s reactions,” said one student. “The performances ran smoothly with no major hiccups, just a couple of lines lost due to a few wee nerves,” they added.

This production was a fantastic opportunity for students to showcase the skills they are learning and put theory into

practice. It elevated what they have been studying by putting it into real life entertainment. All those involved received much confidence-boosting, positive feed back from staff, other students, parents and community members. This drama production was the highlight of the year for many of students and something for them to be so very proud of.

One student commenting, “she would do it again in a heartbeat.”

Mike’s Waterblasting is fully equipped for a range of jobs.

With winter well and truly upon the district it is the time of year again, where moss and lichen on rooves, driveways and fences is growing like crazy.

Mike’s Waterblasting, a locally owned and operated business, is able to assist with the removal of this moss and lichen.

Which, if left unattended can not only cause damage, but also looks unsightly and can be extremely slippery underfoot.

Many will have encountered slippery footpaths in the winter and these are made considerably worse by the unwanted growth on them. A high-pressure wash-down can be an instant fix, getting rid of whatever offending culprit was making them slippery.

When eradicating moss and lichen from a tile roof and asphalt driveway, Mike Richards, Richards business owner, recommends that they are sprayed first with a special moss and lichen retardant. Mike is able to carry out this spraying as part of the

cleaning process. There are then two options after having done this: The first being to leave the areas sprayed with the retardant to the weather which will ‘eventually’ get rid of the growth, or secondly, Mike can come back around six weeks later and give it a high pressure wash, to clear the now dead, plant growth.

“With a colour-steel roof there is the choice of either pressure washing them, or they too can be sprayed and left,” Mike explained Mike also provides house and roof pre-paint washes, all year round. It is recommended that this is done before painting as a clean surface assists with paint bonding and gets rid of badly oxidised, or old flaky paint.

Maybe a household’s outside drain is not draining properly; If this is the case Mike can provide help in this area. He has the equipment to clean out clogged, or slow pipes. A blast

of water at high pressure, sent into the lines, will usually remove blockages and any build up that is causing the blockage.

It doesn’t matter what surface needs a clean, Mike’s Waterblasting can assist. He can help with cleaning most surfaces, from buildings, fences, paths, bricks, blocks, wood, concrete, and machinery.

Locals will remember the Darfield premiere of the award winning Waiau-toa Odyssey movie featuring Hororata adventurer Deane Parker.

Parker The movie covered his (along with his companions) pack rafting journey and he has now just released another adventure film entitled, ‘Looking Down is Looking Up’. It captures the five-day, 380 kilometre journey he and fellow bikepacker Sam Jones made with Extremekid Productions cinematographer Dylan Gerschwitz in February.

Bikepacking is just as the name suggests - carrying everything needed for a marathon five day journey - on the bike! Sort of a cross between camping and mountain biking!

“It’s a fancy new term for what was cycle touring,” Deane laughed, “except with modern bikepacking equipment and

bikes the ‘bikepacker’ can choose between all types of terrain and ride. Some prefer gravel grinding or brevet style events, personally for me bikepacking means I can go tramping on fast forward… into the backcountry. In New Zealand we are so fortunate with the network of backcountry huts which makes travel lighter and more comfortable, also we don’t have to carry litres of water, most ‘backcountry’ rivers are still drinkable, even unfiltered, even in Canterbury!”

The group set off from the house Sam (aka Muel) has at Springfield, riding a loop of central Canterbury via the Wharfdale, Lee’s Valley, McDonald Downs, Hawarden, Lake Sumner, upper Hurunui, Harper Pass, Taramakau Valley, Otira, Arthur’s Pass, Craigieburn mountain bike mecca trail

network, Porters Pass, and back to Springfield.

“Due to the nature of the terrain and the ferocious head winds on the first two days, each day was ten to twelve hours on the bike (and off the bike, pushing, carrying...dragging),” Deane commented.

“Muel and l had been talking about this route for about five years,” Deane explained. “Each summer we had tried to find the window and failed due to one thing or another, the conditions were critical given how many river crossings were needed.

This summer we managed to get all the ducks in a row.”

A fair amount of preparation had to go into the event - fine tuning the actual route and getting permission from affected landowners, working out how all the camping and film gear was going to be carried, watching long term weather forecasts, ensuring backup communication system was set up, plus liaising with sponsors. “There was plenty to do,” Deane commented.

“We originally nicknamed it The Springfield Brevet, but when we reached Harper Pass and in my state of delirium I said, ‘now we’re looking down - everything is looking up’. The name stuck and became the film title.

“For me the highlight was that on the day we crossed Harper Pass, we also crossed Arthur’s Pass at 8pm that evening - so we essentially crossed the Main Divide twice in one day by bike, that was pretty cool,” Deane enthused.

“I’ve got one more film project I’m trying to pull together to showcase the Buller region as an outstanding world class destination for trail and river recreational opportunities and then I’ve got some other things I would like to put some energy into. One of which is to work with the Hororata/Glentunnel/ Coalgate communities to upgrade and extend the current trails on the Coalgate Bluffs into an inclusive walking/biking trail network that has the potential to be a major drawcard to central Canterbury,” Deane concluded.

KIMBER RURAL FENCING FENCING FOR ALL TYPES OF AGRICULTURAL FENCING 20 years experience 4WD tractor/loader

Recently Darfield Police welcomed the newest member to their team, thirty-five year old Hamish Caird.

Caird Growing up in Waimate, Hamish joined the New Zealand Police when he was twenty-two after working as a painter for three years before that.

Prior to that Hamish spent a year at the Otago Institute of Sports studying instructing in rock climbing, kayaking and mountain biking.

Hamish has been a police officer for twelve and a half years, of which nine were spent on the Armed Offenders Squad (AOS). He brings a wealth of experience to community policing having also spent two and half of those nine years as the team leader of the AOS, prior to taking up the job in Darfield.

Hamish and wife Olivia (a nurse in Christchurch) have purchased a house in Glentunnel and Hamish informed the News that they are looking forward to settling down there next month. They have been married just over a year and are expecting their first child to be born in October.

The couple own two ex-police dogs, Wynda and Ben, and Hamish enjoys taking them hunting with him.

“Olivia and I both enjoy getting out into the back blocks hunting for Deer, Tahr and Chamois, we get out snowboarding when we can and enjoy keeping fit,” Hamish explained.

It’s great to see local youth participating in Winter Sports on Saturday mornings. While watching young lads play rugby on a recent weekend it brought back memories of my younger days playing rugby for the Marton Midgets. Things were a little different back then, you were straight into tackle rugby with bare feet as well!

I remember one local lad Steamroller we used to call him, he would run straight and leave a line of bodies flattened on the ground behind him. He showed a fair bit of potential from a very early age.

A few years later when, now fourth former, Steamroller was in the city with Manawatu boxing champion, (a wiry ginga known as Rooster) - the pair became crime fighters!

Walking past the Cosmopolitan Hotel they observed a robber stealing an

Deer, Dairy, Vineyards, Subdivisions, Residential.

“Being from a small town, Olivia and I wanted to bring up our children in a small and safe community, we also like the large amount of outdoor pursuits on offer in the Darfield wider region,” he concluded.

older woman’s handbag. The thief took off on foot with Steamroller in hot pursuit. Catching the miscreant he delivered some summary justice, before being joined by Rooster who did the same. The robber was somewhat relieved when the Police arrived and took him into custody!

The stolen handbag was duly returned to the woman. The Cosmopolitan folk shouted both lads a jug of beer in appreciation of their efforts. Drinking alcohol was an offence likely to get you expelled from both hostel and school. But when a vote was taken the raising of 120 hands against expulsion meant Steamroller got to stay.

Several years later Steamroller went onto have an All Black trial during Laurie Main’s coaching era.

He managed to get onto the field with fifteen minutes to go and within

three seconds of play starting, the ball was kicked off. Blair Larsen (Cop and All Black lock and flanker) took a perfect catch, Steamroller was coming through and totally flattened him. Larsen limped from the field and couldn’t take any further part in the trial.

Earl Kirton the All Blacks assistant coach once said that no other Rugby Player in New Zealand played with more passion than Steamroller.

Full credit to all the parents, coaches and supporters in our community who are involved in youth sports and offer participants encouragement and enjoyment in their Saturday sporting activities.

You may well be watching future All Blacks or Silver Ferns in the making.

Andy Grant, Darfield Police.

Darfield Police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed suspicious behaviour around the Maxwell Street area of Darfield on Monday, July 2nd.

A home on the street was burgled during broad daylight and a number of items stolen - including a television which would have required transport to remove.

Darfield Police would ask that householders review their spare-key policy and the storage/loca on of same, while reminding all homeowners and farmers that ‘lock it or lose it’ is an important rule of security.

Darfield Police are also appealing for any sigh ngs of a u lity or flat-deck vehicle in the vicinity of Wards Road, next to the irriga on race at Charing Cross.

There were possibly two persons involved in the theW of 50 young seedling trees.

These were newly planted and ripped from the ground on or around, the evenings/ nights of Saturday June 30th or Sunday July 1st. Please contact the Police with any informa on regarding either of these incidents.

PIVOT FENCING

L to R: Barbara Herrick (West Melton), Hazel Littlejohn (Darfield) and Margaret Bailey (Leeston) Selwyn bowlers representing New Zealand.

Three Selwyn district women bowlers have been selected to represent Deaf Lawn bowls New Zealand, in the eighth International Deaf Bowls championships to be held January 4th - 15th 2019, at Burnside Bowls Club in, Christchurch.

Barb ara H errick , HHaz az el Littlejohn and Margaret Bailey are from West Melton, Darfield and Leeston Bowls Clubs respectively and the New Zealand team is made up of both men and women members from throughout New Zealand.

Barbara and Maggie have made regular appearances for the Games in the past, while fourth year bowler Hazel is enjoying her first International call up.

The event is held in various countries around the world every four years and has been held in Christchurch, Wales, Scotland, South Africa, England, Australia, Northern Island and Eire. This year sees teams from Australia, Wales, Scotland, England, Ireland and Northern Ireland entered.

Dennis Herrick, Herrick Barbara’s

husband, is the President of the International Deaf Bowls Federation, a position he has held for twelve years. He is also the Secretary of Deaf Bowls New Zealand and is the organiser of this eighth International tournament. As well Dennis is a qualified umpire officiating mostly at Malvern competitions. He too has competed in the International games but this year has stepped down to concentrate on running the event, as host organiser.

The International Deaf Bowls Championship is an empowering event that is crucial for members of the deaf community. Deaf people can often feel a sense of isolation in a hearing dominated world and without deaf sport the deaf community would lose the ability to thrive. The trio will also be playing in Blenheim at Labour Weekend this year in the National deaf NZ games.

Deaf Lawn Bowls NZ works hard each year to raise funds for the NZ Deaf Team for such things as uniforms etc and is also

currently focussing on raising enough funds to help run the forthcoming Deaf Lawn Bowls Championships.

A man asks a farmer near a field, “Sorry sir, would you mind if I crossed your field instead of going around it?

You see, I have to catch the 4:23 train.”

The farmer says, “Sure, go right ahead.

If my bull sees you, you’ll even catch the 4:11 one.”
