Eighteen year old Lauryn Sinclair, Sinclair of West Melton is not only in her first year of tertiary study at the University of Canterbury studying Law and working part time at Rolleston New World, but is also embarking on a trip to Uganda to assist with the building of a school.

Lauryn has become involved with an organisation called Purpose Projects as a volunteer. This is a Non Government Organisation that takes volunteer trips to developing countries to help with specific, achievable projects. The current project is to help build a school for 1,000 children in Uganda and Lauryn plans to join the trip in January 2019 and travel to Kkoba, Uganda for a month.

“The whole ethos behind Purpose Projects is that it provides our local community with a direct link to the community in Kkoba, Uganda,”

Lauryn explained. “The idea is to involve the local community in the development of a third world country, in a way which will benefit the lives of many. We are currently in the process of beginning to raise support to gather funds which will go directly towards the construction of the school in Kkoba and I am hopeful there will be locals in my community who may be able to assist.”

Lauryn and her family have lived in West Melton since 2014, and commented that they really loved the community atmosphere both there and across greater Selwyn too.

Lauryn came to be involved with Purpose Projects when she met Laura Robinson, Robinson the founder of the organisation at university.

Laura had concerns about some organisations’ fundraising revenue not always reaching its target.

“It was because of this she decided to form her own

The main project for the volunteering trip is the construction of a school. It is partially built, with one block completed, as other volunteers have worked on it through a partner organisation (Hope Line). However, the volunteers came individually and only with limited funds, meaning that little Lauryn Sinclair of West Melton will head to Uganda early progress has taken place over a next year to assist with the long period of time.

A rush to set out more seating was required, when the Darfield Recreation Centre was filled with more than 200 people attending the Selwyn Gets Ready AF8 (Alpine Fault Magnitude 8) video last Thursday evening, July 5th.

While the eventuality of the Alpine Fault rupturing some time soon, is scientifically indisputable, the video explained the event in an unemotional, informative fashion. The information gleaned from Dr Tom Wilson of the University of Canterbury on the video was easily understandable and presented

in a calm, ordered manner. The closing comments of the three civil defence members employed by Selwyn District Council - were the wake-up call.

They dealt with the actualities of the event - the intensity of the shaking, the evacuation process, the destruction of infrastructure, the necessity to fend for oneself, and the likely long length of time before assistance would be available. It was sobering stuff!

Darfield’s Brian Davidson, Davidson addressed those attending in his role as spokesperson for the local volunteer Civil Defence group. He also called for more members to join them and it was mentioned by the Selwyn speakers that it would be groups like this that would be relied upon for assistance and information in an earthquake.

The video spoke of the very real chance of the Alpine Fault rupturing in the next fifty years.

The minimum time it had ever ruptured was after 140 years and the maximum 510.

However both these occasions were thousands of years ago

and thanks to carbon dating of trapped fibres it can be scientifically proven that for the past few thousand years it has ruptured every 300 years - it is that time now!

Those attending heard that the shaking expected in an AF8 event for Darfield residents would feel of similar intensity to that in the 2010 quake, but rather than the seconds that that quake lasted, an Alpine Fault event could be up to four minutes long. However the intensity and the time duration is directly related to how much of the fault was to rupture and the direction it set off from.

The Selwyn Civil Defence members asked those present to consider how they would manage without power (the power generation dams etc wouldn’t be functioning) - for possibly many months, how they would manage without fuel (no road/port access). They pointed out that it would be a South Island wide event and being prepared was the only way to get through it.

Following the gathering of knitters at the Darfield Library on June 9th to participate in the ‘Knit in Public Day’, booties, beanies and blankets were created to send to the Neonatal Trust.

Some beanies will also be donated to the local St John Ambulance to be an additional resource in the maternity packs which are carried on board each vehicle.

“Many knitters in the community

visited the library to collect a knitting pattern,” reported Darfield Librarian Isabel Milward, Milward “and we’d love to receive any beanies still being knitted before July 20th. These can be dropped off at the Library and will be donated to either the Neonatal Trust or to the local St John,” Isabel said. “Thanks again to all who contributed and made this event such a success,” she concluded.

The Kirwee Players will soon bring a devilishly different Show, ‘The Witches Of Eastwick’ to the Kirwee Community Hall (August 3rd to 11th). The Witches Of Eastwick is a wicked comedy set in a typical small town, where gossip is rife about three single women. The Show offers a witty, irreverent and pointed glimpse of small town people and values, but with a twist in that the three main characters are witches!

The cast this year consists of twenty three strong members and has a creative team (Phil Phil Dean, Anna Randall and Darren Weber) Weber that has been together now for four years.

Auditions were held in March with rehearsals beginning in mid April and while the cast had been rehearsing between 6-8 hours per week this has now increased to 10-12 as opening day approaches.

There are six lead characters: Darryl Von Horne played by Glen Clark - Glen has been involved with countless shows in community theatre since the late 1990’s, but this is his first appearance with Kirwee Players.

“Working alongside this talented Kirwee Players team has been such an awesome experience.”

Alexandra Spofford played by Kelsea NelsonNelson - Cummins Kelsea has enjoyed returning to Kirwee Players after spending the last couple of years with various theatre groups in Christchurch. She feels privileged to perform alongside such a talented and lovely bunch of people.

Felicia Gabriel played by Julia Baars - Julia returns to Kirwee Players stage to perform in her eighth Kirwee Players after an eight-year hiatus.

and he is absolutely loving it.

As well as the lead roles there is the well-oiled production team behind the scenes that work tirelessly to put on the shows each year. Isabell Stott makes and/or sources all of the costumes each year. Don Gillanders designs and builds the elaborate sets. Mabel Knight and Linda Gosling are this year sourcing the several hundred props. The trusty hands of David Stott, Stott Stage Manager and his team are behind the scenes, with Rob Kellock Production Manager.

Everyone volunteers their time with some people having been involved since Kirwee Players began in 1977.

Windows updates are there to protect your machine from nas es that get into your PC and want something from you. Some updates stop you in mid-Windows and suggest that there is an update and you need to approve it. Others are completed without your knowledge and are of a more cri cal, or urgent nature. Updates are for a whole number of reasons, security, service releases, system updates, major updates etc etc. They come through regularly not just the second Tuesday of the month; but when required!

When you defer/delay the update your PC is not protected from the thing that the update is working to get rid of. If you do the update you are. Its not rocket science and if you take that few minutes to complete the process your machine will thank you and run be6er.

The problem does come when the update has been completed by Windows and your machine needs to restart, but doesn’t tell you. Strange things happen and it doesn’t behave as expected. The things that normally work don’t and you don’t know why.

When this occurs restart Windows and the issues will go away as all of the files are closed down correctly and, more importantly, when it restarts, the files are all correctly integrated and installed. Don’t fight city hall! Go with the flow.

On Wednesday, June 27th, a large number of Lions, their partners, and several invited guests from other neighbouring Clubs, gathered at Darfield High School for the Malvern Lions Club’s annual Changeover Night and the conclusion of their 47th year as a Club. The occasion doubled as a fundraiser for the School’s P.T.A. Following a fellowship time and a delightful meal delivered to the tables by several senior students, outgoing Malvern Lions’ President Tony Mitchell, Mitchell presented his annual report.

Tony began by thanking his fellow Lions and partners for their excellent support in the many projects that had been undertaken, throughout the twelve months. He said that the Club’s membership had remained steady at the optimum number of around fifty, despite the most unfortunate passing during the year, of two highly regarded and dedicated Lions, Ken Shipley and Hamish Reid.

Reid Three new and very enthusiastic members, Daryl Collier, Collier Rob Potts and Anthony Dalziel had recently joined the Club.

Since the beginning of the Lions’ year on July 1st 2017, the Club had raised and distributed by way of grants,

Fundraising activities had included several catering events, including the two local A & P Shows, the Hororata Highland Games and Night Glow, marshalling at the Coast to Co ast event, supervising green waste collections, running a casino night and an annual golf tournament. The recent golf tournament had raised $19,000 for the Malvern Cancer Support Group, to assist them with the exceptional service they provide to several local families.

President Tony reported that sixteen members and partners had recently attended the annual District Convention, which this year was organised

by New Brighton and neighbouring Clubs. He said that t hro ugh att en di ng conventions, members gain valuable ideas to take back to their own Clubs, to use.

Tony then commended individual Lions, their partners, and all those holding leadership roles, saying that together their dedicated efforts had ensured that the Malvern Club continues to be one of the most successful. The Club’s Board, he said, had been an especially well balanced one, which had delivered high quality leadership to the Club throughout the year.

He noted that three key roles were being vacated after several year’s outstanding service, those of Secretary,

Treasurer and Bulletin Editor.

He thanked Brian Redfern, Redfern Roger Muir and Les Clement, along with their wives Jan, Jan Nicky and Vicky, Vicky for their outstanding service in these key roles.

Three special awards were presented during the evening.

Donald Wright was this year’s recipient of the Ramsay Gibson Award. Donald with the dedicated support of his wife Jenny, Jenny had given outstanding leadership for the past two years as catering convenor.

Two other Lions, Brian Redfern and Brian Davidson, Davidson were presented with Melvin Jones Fellowship awards. These awards are issued by the Lions Clubs International Foundation for dedicated humanitarian services. Both had served for many years as the Club Secretary, among other roles.

Tony commented that the role of President had been a wonderful experience, and that he was extremely grateful for the supportive nature and encouragement provided by all members and partners, including the excellent support given by his wife Heather.

Heather He wished incoming President Keith Taege and Helen, Helen every success for the year ahead.

Selwyn Connect links fastest growing district in New Zealand with its website expanding to accommodate the unprecedented growth in the district’s population and business community.

Following her recent arrival in Rolleston, the creator of Selwyn Connect, Colette Benjamin, Benjamin found it difficult to locate information and listings of local businesses, products and services. These frustrations coincided with her wish to start a business. Having built and managed successful businesses previously, Colette completely understands the time and financial constraints business owners have in marketing themselves. This led to the creation of Selwyn Connect, an innovative online platform showcasing local businesses.

“The response has been incredible,” Colette said. “The

site has gone from strength to strength and additional features have not only enabled businesses to advertise their special offers or talk about their latest news, but it also helps to push them up in Google rankings.”

Selwyn Connect is not simply a business directory, but a sophisticated internet tool to help businesses promote their services and easily connect with the Selwyn community.

“Selwyn Connect uses metadata and search engine optimisation tools to their full potential and you will find your business showing up in multiple listings and through a variety of internet searches.”

Colette says that this clever use of internet search engines helps businesses stand out in the local market without having to pay large sums to Google to promote their companies. Close

“Most importantly, we are a local Selwyn business that can help other Selwyn businesses and the community to keep it local.”

The Editors

To the Editors: Thank you for placing our article in the Malvern News re looking for old bikes.

We have been overwhelmed with the response with fifteen bicycles arriving from a huge radius including West Melton, Rolleston, Coalgate and further afield. Thank you to all our donors we truly appreciate your help.

Our children are going to be so delighted with the opportunity to learn to ride a bike, or have a bike to ride on, here at school, as well as having spare parts in case anything goes wrong.

Good reading people.

Thank you from the Principal and staff at the Hororata Primary School.

Marty Gameson - Principal, Hororata Primary School To the Editors, I had the chance to go through the Ritso Street properties, Darfield, when they were put up for sale by our Council. I have never been so disgusted by the condition of these houses.

The houses have been vacant for approximately eighteen months (except one) and the lack of maintenance has been beyond belief.

Two were ‘P’ contaminated, one reeked of cat pee, while the third had water pouring out of the header tank in the ceiling, and had been like that for so long that grass seed was growing on the carpet 15cm long. The carpet was ruined, as was the plaster board.

After notifying the Council, Sicon had a long overdue tidy up of the grounds of these properties.

The total cost of repairs was $81,659.19 not including Sicon’s clean up.

We are now told the money from the sale of these properties is going into consolidated funds - not back to Darfield or Malvern!

On Sunday, June 23rd hundreds of riders participated in the Bridge to Bridge mountain bike event and amongst them were a large contingent of locals many of whom achieved results in the top ten of their categories.

Bridge to Bridge ‘North’ is a three section mountain bike event on the Northern Bank of the Waimakariri River and billed as a fast mountain bike ride, great for a mid-year ride, especially as it is downhill all the way.

The 60km race started outside the Waimakariri Gorge Golf Club, on Thongcaster Road, travelled to Browns Rock Road and into the River at the Intake. The ride then travelled east, through to the finish going past the State Highway One river bridges, through Waimakariri Park, back on to the stop bank to Kaiapoi and finished on Raven Quay.

The 60km ride was a mix of shingle, stop bank and single track, except for the Thongcaster Road portion.

The 30km event started at Downs Road and travelled east past the State Highway One river bridges, through Waimakariri Park back on to the

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING Be very careful which fuel nozzle you put into your car.

Traditionally you can only mix petrol and diesel in your vehicle’s fuel tank. While this is an inconvenience, it more often than not means, draining the tank, refilling with the correct fuel and away you go. No harm done.

There is now an exhaust emissions fluid which is available and in my opinion far, far too easy to purchase and has dire consequences to your vehicle if it is mixed into the fuel system.

Crystals which form in the fuel system when Diesel Exhaust Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) fluid is mixed with fuel - a costly mistake for the owner! has many different commercial names but the most common are ‘AdBlue’ or ‘Go Green’. DEF is used in very new modern diesel vehicles. DEF is injected into the exhaust system to help eliminate harmful exhaust emissions and is available at most truck stops, and some fuel stations, normally beside the truck diesel pump.

The problem arises if the DEF pump nozzle is mistakenly squirted, even if it is a very small amount, (as little as 50mls) into your vehicle’s fuel tank.

The DEF fluid is very corrosive and when mixed with fuel it will grow crystals inside the fuel system.

These crystals go through the fuel system which destroy the internals of the tank, fuel pump, fuel lines and fuel injectors.

It is very, very expensive to rectify. I have seen a quote to replace the complete fuel system in a diesel 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe at $16,000. We have a petrol Toyota Camry vehicle in our workshop right now that is already over $3,000. But the problem isn’t limited to road vehicles. I’ve also heard of a tractor costing $75,000 to repair!

It gets worse. The repairs are not covered by mechanical insurance. All these vehicle repairs have to be paid for in full by the vehicle’s owners. OUCH! So my tip this month is; go to your friendly local service station and get the forecourt concierge to help you out. If you are after cheaper fuel and go to truck stops, please be very careful which pump you choose.

Happy and safe driving,

The fifth Annual Report of the Malvern Community Patrol was presented to those attending on June 28th, 2018.

Errol Ashby - Community Patrol Chairperson reported: • On July 5th 2013 a public Meeting was called in Darfield to gauge interest in setting up a Community patrol. With local and regional help, we have grown to over forty members, a car of our own, and a lot of positive feed back from throughout the community.

• To my committee, I owe a debt of gratitude for their ongoing support, and also to our Patrol Members.

• To the local police, we owe our sincere thanks for advice and direction, and to Dave Pittkethley who gave great advice on approaching The Four Winds Foundation for funding our new patrol car; we miss you out on the road.

• Assistance and local support is very much appreciated. We are grateful for fuel, roster compilation, newsletters, food and vehicle maintenance - to name but a few.

• Our annual barbecue was well attended and was a good chance to meet up with others during daylight hours.

• The Safe R Plate scheme netted S41O. for very little effort - a successful fundraising event.

One that we will take up again in the spring. Thanks to those who participated - it was a cold wet exercise!

• With a membership of over forty we have added a third night patrol, and numerous day patrols.

• It was interesting to learn from a local woman out walking and heard some schoolchildren comment when the patrol car drove around the corner ‘we are behaving aren't we?’. We don't always know what effect we have!

• Young children still pose a challenge at night, as do cars not obeying road rules and the odd boy racer.

• Last year we travelled 12,340 kms and contributed 1,020 hours - while this year to date for five months 7,404 hours and 535 hours have been added to our efforts.

• We continue to attract new members which is a sign of ongoing success.

• A Tablet will be trialled for easier and more effective recording, and while this may take time to learn, I am hopeful of success.

St John Youth Darfield recently held their mid year prize giving (July 4th), with special guests, Graham Gillespie, Gillespie Knight of the Order of St John (KStJ), Tracey Dunn, Dunn Korowai Area Youth Manager (AYM for West Melton and Darfield), and Lynda Walter, Walter Te Waihora Area Youth Manager (AYM for Ellesmere and Rolleston).

We had a range of awards to present and during the night Tracey Dunn presented five penguins (6-8 year olds) with their Super Penguin Award, which recognises completion of the nine Penguin badges: First Aid, Safety, St John, Communication, Healthy, Caring, Games, Resourceful, and Hobbies.

Recipients were: Kaitlyn Craigie, Craigie Larbi Frizzell, Frizzell Bentley Todd, Todd Hunter Kennedy, Kennedy and Cearnaigh Dawson. They were presented a badge and certificate to mark their achievement.

Some penguins were presented the first aid, resourceful and healthy badges that had been worked on over the last two terms.

We also farewelled Katie Tozer, Tozer Darfield’s Penguin Leader who stepped down from her role. In appreciation she was presented with a card and a farewell gift.

Cadets also received their badges, the Greens (8-10 years) received their Home Technology, Accident Prevention, and Communication

Page 9

Badges, the Blues (11-12 years) received their Home Technology and Communication badges, and the Golds (13-18 years) received The Arts, Communication, Drill, and Child Care badges, of which some were obtained by attending camps.

A special recognition went to Rebecca Inch and Susanna Sampson who received their 100 hour community service shield, and Samuel Ireland who received his 800 hour community service shield. These were presented by Lynda Walter.

The climax of the night was the presentation by the Knight of the Order, Graham Gillespie, who presented the second Grand Prior to be achieved by a Darfield cadet. Alicia BradleyBradleyTaurua received her Grand Prior. This is the ultimate award in the Youth Programme, where a cadet must complete twelve badges from a curriculum of thirty available badges of which six are compulsory.

This programme is recognised as one of the best educational youth programmes in New Zealand.

Alicia now has the option to receive her parchment at a formal ceremony at Government House, presented by the Prior of St John in New Zealand, the Governor General.

Twelve years ago the Selwyn Community came together and decided what their Envirotown should do and be. The initiatives undertaken in the past twelve years have been largely in response to the community’s concer ns and r eq ue st s expressed at that early meeting.

Public Hot Topic discussions were planned, a Native Reserve and Community Gardens were planted, a Responsible Business Awards scheme was started, along with numerous other environmental and community

projects.

“Selwyn is a rapidly changing District and so it is worth reconsidering what is important to each of us,” said Dave Fitzjohn, Fitzjohn Lincoln Envirotown Trust, Project Manager.

Lincoln Envirotown Trust are inviting people, of all ages, to drop in and share their thoughts at a family friendly, open afternoon. Selwyn’s Environment - What is our future? This will be held on July 22nd at the Lincoln Bowling Club.

Children enjoying communal gardening.

Having initially intended to purchase a ‘Digital Signage Trailer’, but finding the cost prohibitive Community Patrols Canterbury, who work in conjunction with NZ Police, have embarked upon the next best thing - leasing the equipment. A Digital Signage Trailer, owned by, and leased from, Fulton Hogan, will shortly spend a fortnight in this area, highlighting in words important issues like safety and traffic issues. Drivers can expect to see the trailer reminding them

to stop at intersections, or advising of ice on roads, amongst other things. The trailer, which is being trialled as

“People are invited to drop in to discuss their ideas, concerns, and vision for the wonderful District of Selwyn. Activities will be provided to give something of interest for all ages, along with plenty of refreshments and snacks.”

There are also to be a few short talks on such issues as ‘water’, ‘growing healthy food’ and ‘waste free living’ for those interested.

“The main idea is for people to come in at any time and talk about their views and suggestions relating to Selwyn’s community and environment.

Anyone can join the conversation prior to the day by completing a fifteen second survey about ‘Se lwyn’s Environment - what is our future?” on the Lincoln Envirotown Facebook Page, Website or Eventbrite. These sites also contain further information (location, times etc) of the drop-in day.

to its effectiveness, will also spend a fortnight in southern areas of Selwyn before its success is evaluated.

A Digital Signage trailer, similar to this will soon make an appearance in the area for a two week trial.

The device has been leased by Community Patrol NZ (Canterbury), who work closely in conjunction with NZ Police.

When the Malvern News welcomed a group of Kirwee Model School pupils to their office to view the newspaper’s production a few years ago, it was commented on at the time, how knowledgeable and interested the students were.

So it was no real surprise to find that one of them (Finn Finn Clark) Clark was recently named in the St Thomas of Canterbury silver medal winning team at the World Scholar’s Cup (WSC).

The Christchurch round (one of three in New Zealand) was held at St Andrew’s College on July 1st and 2nd. Invited schools from around the region entered their top academic students in teams of three for the two day event which involved debating, collaborative writing, the Scholar’s Challenge (an intense general knowledge exam), a team multi choice test and a talent showcase.

Teams acquire points for each challenge before WSC collate these. The highest achieving scholars go to the next round which is held in Melbourne and from there the highest achievers go on to Barcelona.

Finn competed with fellow classmates from St Thomas of Canterbury College - they are all members of the School’s ‘Alpha’ group (an advanced learners programme for gifted and talented students).

Jacob O'Connell, Finn Clark and Will Hodgson. Proud Cantab boys competing in a worldwide academic competition.

The WSC was founded by Daniel Berdichevsky and the first World Scholar’s Cup took place in Korea in 2007. The first ‘global’ round followed a few weeks later, bringing together students from Korea, Singapore, and the United States.

The idea behind the World Scholar’s Cup was to create something different than traditional academic competitions and conferences: a celebration of the joy of learning, a tournament as rewarding for the team that came in last as the for the team that came in first, an enrichment opportunity that motivated students not just to demonstrate their existing strengths, but to discover new ones.

The advice from MPI is to avoid unnecessary movement of cattle. Due to this, most Schools in the area advise that at their Pet Days this year (usually held around October) they won’t be offering calf classes.

All is not lost though as some schools have come up with innovative ways to get around the issue and allow children to still participate with their beloved animals.

Hororata School for instance have organised a video link to help them with this situation.
