A very special event took place at Darfield’s Westmar Senior Care facility on Monday, July 16th when the day was filled with celebrations to recognise the one-hundredth birthday of Ellen Lindsay Mabel Henderson/Bradley. There was a morning high-tea with a birthday cake of course, at Westmar, before the Malvern Community Trust took care of a celebratory afternoon tea, later in the day. The News spoke to Ellen’s daughter Adrienne Fraser of Kirwee, to fill in some of the background to Ellen’s one hundred years, she told us: Ellen was born at Katiki Beach, North 0tago to lsobel (Tottie Tottie) Tottie and Archie Henderson on July 16th, 1918. At that time, Archie and lsobel lived at Dansey's Pass, but they packed up a horse and cart and walked to Katiki Beach to an Aunt’s farm for the birth. This must have taken six or seven days. Archie then went on horseback to tell Tottie's family, at Tokaraki, news of the birth. Archie didn’t get back to see his new daughter for three months, as he became snowed in. Some time after Ellen’s birth Tottie moved from the Pass to Tapui to be closer to family.

Ellen attended the local school until she was eleven, then went on to Waitaki Girls High. During this time she lived with her Grandparents in Oamaru. Within a year of each other they both died, so Ellen then went on to Tes ch em ak er s ( Cat h olic School), as a boarder. The family successfully farmed at Tapui until the 1930’s when they moved to Clandeboye (South Canterbury) to a much smaller holding. During the war Ellen worked in the Post 0ffice at Temuka where eventually she met Charlie Bradley, recently returned from the Second World War. After marrying, Charlie was transferred to Timaru with CFCA (Canterbury Farmers Coop Assn) Department Store. Soon after, they moved to Otipua Rd in Timaru, where Ellen had two children, Philip and Adrienne. Adrienne Ellen’s interests over the years were of course bringing up her children, her love of gardening and more recently, playing bridge. The family had a bach at the 0pihi River where they spent most weekends and school holidays. They did a lot of white -baiting and fishing, and Ellen also had a garden there as well. ln later years she was a founding member of Toast Mistress (now Toast Masters) in Timaru and also enjoyed many

years of helping local school children prepare their speeches for exams. Ellen learnt to play bridge and played until she was 92, when she had to give up due to failing eyesight. “I can tell you she was devastated,” Adrienne explained. “At that time playing at the Sumner Bridge Club there were seven over 90’s I think, and Ellen is the only one left.” Ellen moved to Christchurch in 1996 to live with her daughter Adrienne, husband Roger and granddaughter Grace. Following the earthquakes, and after a short time at North Beach, they all moved to Kirwee. Ellen has three grandchildren

ingredients for relaxation and enjoyment. It’s not just the views and the food that make this partnership special, but also the sense of community that the land and Clubhouse has been established on. Ninety six years ago, on June 17th, 1922, the Hororata Golf Club was established by Messrs Vaughan and Nettleton after Sir John Hall gifted a portion of land to establish the golf course at Terrace Station in Hororata. From 1942 to 1946 the Club went into recess because of the war, and in 1966 the land that the golf course was on, was needed for farming, so it was then that work began on a new course in Glentunnel. The course as it is known today was officially opened on April 18th, 1970. The Club is undisputedly a great asset to the community and is well utilised by many golfers. The Hororata Golf Club realised the need for a change, along with a point of difference, so came up with the idea of creating a public café; not only for members, but also for the community and general public. From there the Willows Café Glentunnel was established and the lease was awarded to husband and wife team Jason and Jarnia Kupe. Kupe Jason and Jarnia are familiar faces within the Hororata area, and

dedicated community members. As owners of the Hororata Village Bar & Café, they have successfully provided the local community with a place to connect through the love of sharing good food. Jarnia is passionate about food and community, while Jason, a Butcher by trade, is passionate about his famous ‘Butcher’s Pie!’ He creates all the fillings for these sought after delicacies using only top quality meat. Over the past seven years the pair have built up a great food reputation by their hard work. “It’s definitely a labour of love,” the couple commented. “Food brings us together, shapes our memories, and empowers our communities. We feel so privileged to be joining the Hororata Golf Club in creating a new and exciting Hub for our Glentunnel Community and visiting guests.” Together with their team, including Café Manager Kahu Luke, Luke they plan to excite the palette with beautiful breakfasts, tasty cabinet fare and delicious takeaway food. The menu also features the Butcher’s Pie and their famous Beef Roll. It’s hoped that lunch time specials, plus a great menu will suit all. The Café is open from 6am, seven days a week.

“I think you have more books here than the library,” exclaimed one customer at the weekend when scanning the mountains of books that had been donated for the Malvern Anglican Parish’s Book Fair. Well, perhaps not quite as many as the library, but it was hard to estimate just how many hundreds of books were donated and on sale. “A steady stream of customers came to browse and buy between July 7th - 10th,” said the Vicar, Rev Susan Baldwin, Baldwin “the timing of the Book Fair seemed just about perfect.

Children on the first days of their winter break found books, puzzles and DVDs to keep them occupied. Teens and adults stocked up on books for winter reading during long, cold nights and anyone who loves jigsaw puzzles found a huge selection to choose from,” Susan added. “There must have been about 400 puzzles on offer and by the end of the four days there were perhaps seventy left (fear not, the puzzles will appear again at the Country Fair in September). “We weren’t sure whether four days (one full day and three half days) was going to be too

long,” Susan commented. Over the four days (fifteen hrs) that the Hall was open for business, it was never empty of customers. “That gave us a good indication that we’ll need to remain open longer next time around,” she commented. The sum of $2,791.00 was raised for the ministry offered through the Malvern Anglican Parish. “The book fair was such a success, we will definitely be repeating it next year and hopefully making it an annual event in the community,” Susan concluded.

Lots of happy customers at the Book Fair.

Sunday, August 5th will once again see bargain hunters flock to Oxford for what has become n ot on ly a m am m o t h opportunity for garage sale-ing, but also a wonderful day out in the picturesque country township. The event is an extravaganza of new, recycled, second hand and vintage treasures, odds and ends, plus local business stalls. It’s expected there’ll be around f or t y s it es r e g is t er e d

Oxford hopes to be inundated with bargain hunters on August 5th for the township’s Great Garage Sale Trail.

throughout the town for this year’s event. The Great Oxford Garage Sale Trail has been a huge success for eight years now, this year is its ninth and bound to be no exception. Everyone, whether they admit it or not, loves to fossick around at garage sales looking for a bargain, or a special find, and this is the ideal opportunity to do so - and all on one day! The Great Garage Sale Trail is based in and around Oxford and runs from 9am until 2pm. Organised by the Oxford Promotions Action Committee (OPAC) maps of the sites can be received by email, or picked up on the day. They will be available at the Pearson Park Oval, off Dohrmans Road, from 9am to 11am and after 11am from the Farmers Market car park on Main Street. A coin donation at the map collection points would be appreciated by organisers to assist with defraying the costs of running the event. The Garage Sale Trail idea came

initially from a community member; and the Oxford Promotions Action Committee took up the idea. It was seen as an event to bring visitors into the town so they could experience just what Oxford town has to offer. “Each year, the Trail has brought hundreds into our town and this year should be no dif f er en t , ” s ai d a s p o k es p e r s o n f or t h e organisers. “It’s not only great for buyers and sellers at the garage sales, it’s also good for all businesses in Oxford. It brings people from all around Canterbury to our town,” they added. After the Trail, guests are able to explore Oxford further and browse through the book, gift and boutique shops, relax in a cafe, select and taste fresh produce and food from the Farmers Market and wander through the Oxford Art Gallery and Museum.

Cutting the ribbon - the oldest pupil (Josh Henderson), Mayor Sam Broughton and the youngest pupil (Targ Armstrong). Friday, July 6th marked the culmination of four years hard work for Springfield School families when the opening of their new Multi-Purpose Room took place. Invited guests, pupils, teachers and parents came together to celebrate this new addition to the School. The new building was officially opened by Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton, Broughton who after a few words declared the building open. He cut the ribbon with help from the youngest and the oldest students at the School. Springfield School teachers and students are understandably excited to have this new building, “we are really looking forward to the extra space and facilities that the new multipurpose room brings,” said School Principal Judith Beales. Beales “It provides us with a

much-needed kitchen area for cooking and a large break-out space for all sorts of activities including games, art and indoor physical activities.” The senior class gave a short presentation, with each pupil speaking about the benefits the new room brings to the School children. The planning for this building began four years ago with the f am ou s M alv er n apr on fundraiser. There has been a lot of effort behind the scenes by School parents and the Board of Trustees since that time, to continue fundraising, find a suitable building, relocate the premises and then refurbish it on site. The entire project has been a real team effort involving many School families. However the School community gives special

thanks to Fiona Davidson for leading the fundraising efforts and grant writing, as well as to Pam and Pete Aldersley who managed the relocation and refurbishment of the building. “We’ve sold over 2,500 aprons,” Fiona said, “and each person who has bought, or received, an apron or tea towel owns a small part of this room.” She gave a special note of thanks to Rosalie Mason at Mason’s Drapery. “She has sold countless aprons and tea towels on behalf of our School.” Pam paid tribute to the amazing school community and teachers who have enthusiastically supported this project along the way, including the brave Dads who decorated cakes for the cake auction. She also thanked Principal Judith Beales for her vision in allowing the Board to proceed with the project. “J udith demonstr ated unwavering support and endless faith that it would be a success,” Pam added. The School thank the Rata Foundation, CERT and the Four Winds Foundation for their grants and the School families and community for their amazing support of the project.

Saturday July 21st will see another popular Nourish event take place, focussing on the whys and how's of pruning fruit trees. Many people have fruit trees that have not been pruned for many years and it has become difficult to access the fruit, or they have become less productive because trees put their finite energy into branch growth, rather than fruit growth. “You may also have recently bought a tree from a nursery that looks more like a ‘stick’ than a tree and you’re not sure what you can do,” explained one of the event organisers.. Dave Askin will be providing tuition and there will be the chance to put it into practice on the orchard at Te Waiora House in Hororata between 1-3pm on the 21st. “Bring along some secateurs, loppers or a pruning saw if you have these,” organisers commented. “You can enjoy a BYO picnic in the garden at Te Waiora from midday.” This is a free event run by Nourish (a part of Two Rivers Community Trust). Nourish is about people and healthy gardens, enjoying nutritious food. The Group has a monthly topical discussion on the last Thursday evening each month in the Darfield Baptist Church foyer. They also arrange occasional practical workshops where knowledge and skills are shared. “We place a high value on sharing ideas and learning

together, so you don’t have to worry if you’re a beginner gardener, or if you have more failures than successes.” The Group’s next Thursday meeting will be on ‘Understanding Good Soil’ and regular events can be followed by joining the Nourish Group on Facebook.

Some of the Group are also involved in the Darfield Community Garden in Almond Park. “This is another way of gaining or sharing practical skills for a kitchen garden.”

Darfield has a new business touted as a one-stop-shop for the self-sufficient lifestyle. Living Off The Land Ltd is owned by Gary and Vicki Knudsen and can be found at the corner of Kimberley Road and the Old West Coast Road. The couple have an unabashed passion for people (they are part of the warm shower network - hosting cyclists from around the world), life and travel, while striving to share and encourage others to live off the land. Gary and Vicki moved from Ashburton to their Darfield lifestyle block in 2012 after having spent their whole life working on the land - managing a sheep, cattle and cropping farm. “Vicki is a local artist and runs the shop on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, while I am employed as a Business Development Manager in Ashburton with the company that makes our stock food and lumber items,” Gary explained.

“I am on deck Thursday to Saturday.” The pair have two adult children, “and,” Gary added, “by the end of this year we will have thr ee ador able granddaughters.” The interactive business encourages customers to feed the sheep, try a cup of freshly brewed basil/mint tea - from plants on the property and take in everything the Knudsens have created on their land. “We are a working example of seeing it for real, you see the planning that is needed and work involved for such a rewarding lifestyle; ie all your own food,” Gary enthused. “We grow most of the vegetable plants from seeds, saved over years of selection, we have created an orchard with trees that grow well in Canterbury, all varieties of berry and currant bushes and we re-home second year Red Shaver hens for eggs. We have bred our own milking sheep, drink the milk, make our

own cheese, yoghurt and icecream; meat is raised on the farm and there’s fish from the River. Everything is organic, natural and spray free.” The business is a stockist of Evans Animal Feeds for horses, cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas, pigs, poultry and rabbits, as well as a variety of hen houses, rabbit hutches, small animal hutches, raised gardens, cattle ramps and pig huts. They also sell trellis, barbecue tables, garden sheds, wood sheds, and pump sheds. “All standard, or custom designed and built,” Gary commented. With fruit trees for sale, plus hens, weaner pigs and some milking sheep, as well as the opportunity to taste tree ripened fruit (in season) and information freely given, Living Off The Land Ltd - really is a one-stop-shop!

Malvern Community Arts Council is looking for art created largely from recycled materials (must be an original work not previously exhibited and can be ready to hang, free-standing or able to sit on a plinth). There will also be a ‘People’s Choice’ awarded. While most people look at discarded plastics or broken glass and ceramics and just see a pile of junk, the Selwyn Gallery invites interested artists to recycle those materials in art works for its November exhibition, ‘Found Objects as Art’. “Artists are continually reminding us that reuse, recycling, and innovative design can combine in creative ways to save resources, while making one-of-a-kind art,” said Philip Baldwin, Baldwin Malvern Community Arts Council Chairperson. “We are looking forward to seeing what kinds of art people will create with a variety of recycled materials.”

Th e G aller y’s s elect ion committee is looking for art created largely from recycled materials, including items used in ways that wasn't the original intention. Artists who have submitted works for Darfield Artweek in the past will be familiar with the general guidelines for exhibition. Submission guidelines and exhibition applications are available at the Selwyn Gallery and on its webs ite, www.selwyngallery.co.nz

“As always, we reserve the right to select the art works to be on exhibit,” Philip advised. “Since the Gallery is only able to show a limited number of works, we are setting a deadline for the application and exhibition fee to be received at the Gallery. There will be a ‘People’s Choice Award’ as part of the exhibition, so we encourage people to visit the Gallery throughout the month of November to vote for their favourite recycled art work.” he concluded.

Malvern Community Arts Council welcomes the opportunity to showcase art from Darfield Primar y School in the community week exhibition, which begins with an opening night on Friday, July 27th. Each year a local group is invited to exhibit at the Gallery, at no expense to their organisation. This includes preschools, sewing groups and local primary schools. Darfield Primary have not

exhibited in recent years and will have works in various mediums from students throughout the School. This will be a colourful, imaginative exhibition and one not to be missed. It’s a great opportunity for students to bring parents and grandparents to admire their work on display in the Gallery setting.

June 28th was the annual secondary school French Cooking Competition hosted this year by Cashmere High School. This competition is organised by the Alliance Française de Christchurch and is a Master Chef-like event for high school students who are studying French. There were eight different schools entered this year and fourteen teams competing. Darfield High School entered two teams; one of year 10 students, while the other team was a mixture of year 11s and 12s. This year’s theme was New Caledonia with teams having to

Page 9

plan and cook their two dishes in two hours, plus deliver a mini speech to judges, in French. Each team had to cook a main meal and a dessert based around the theme New Caledonia. Students put in a lot of planning and practice toward their dishes before the competition, to make sure everything would work the way that it should. Cashmere High School has two cooking rooms which meant two separate competitions were running at the same time. During the competition no one can talk to the teams competing and extra points are awarded

for students speaking in the French language. This cooking competition brings a whole new dimension to learning, it’s a fantastic and fun way for students to learn and practice a language they are studying. DH S w on on e of th e competitions, this was the year 11 and 12 team. They made tradition bougna (fish and root vegetable stew) served with freshly made bread for their main and coconut ice cream served with caramelised pineapple for their dessert. This team impressed the judges with the excellent presentation of their dishes and a very well balanced and executed menu. DHS year 10 team were placed third in their room’s competition. They cooked a Poulet au lait de coco et ananas (pineapple and chicken curry) for their main and mousse a la mangue (mango mousse) for their dessert. The students who attended this competition all said it was an extremely enjoyable experience.

On Friday, June 29th, West Melton School held their Celebrat ion of Learning assembly to acknowledge their Whanau on Grandparents Day. Their current inquiry theme was ‘Connections build relationships’ and this special day centred around these ‘relationships and connections’. The day was extremely successful and it was wonderful to see the relationships, love and connections with family members. The children were so very proud to show off their Josh and Isabella serving cake. work and achievements to all their family members who could the Wharenui. many special memories were “This day was a very special made and shared,” a School attend this wonderful day.

Travelling from the Malvern area etc the Lichfield Street park is very hard to get to, with road works, one way streets and the fact that the Oxford Terrace route from the hospital around the River to Lichfield Street is now closed. A nightmare for elderly drivers especially. Recently we found an article about a new service running from the car park at the rear of the hotel, on the corner of Riccarton road and Deans Avenue. This is a far better location with a multi storey car park for over one hundred cars and running a twenty four hour service. Entry to the parking building is from the corner of Deans Avenue and Bartlett Street. My partner, plus another person from Hororata, have both used this service and found it satisfactory. The location is far better when travelling in from the Darfield area.

Joe Catherwood (Sheep Farmer), Jane Jenkins (Show President), Warwick Seaton (Sheep Convenor) with children who attended the workshop. On Sunday, July 8th, at the Kirwee Hall, local Primary and Preschool aged children and their parents were treated to a

session on how to raise a lamb. The Courtenay A & P Association ran the popular event, featuring local Sheep

Farmer Joe Catherwood, Catherwood and Show President Jane Jenkins. Jenkins Joe brought two ewes with new lambs, and the children were able to pet them, and learn what is needed to raise and train lambs to compete in the Pet Section of the Show. Joe brought all the gear to demonstrate what is needed when taking on a pet lamb, showed how to put on a lamb jacket, how to tell the difference between a male and female lamb, and how to train it to walk alongside - apparently it’s all about food! The event was very successful and the Association is looking forward to an excellent standard in this year’s Pet Lamb Classes at the Show.

The old West Melton hall was a-buzz with energy on Sunday, July 8th when the Soul Jam expo took place. Many of those attending took the time to try out therapies and products that were new to them, with many questions being asked of practitioners. “This fulfils exactly the purpose of the ex po,” explain ed event organiser, Sue Jones, Jones “to introduce, and give the opportunity to experience, a variety of natural healing techniques and remedies.” Readers offered inspiration and insight, and were sought out by

Erna Henning - Massage therapist, mindfulness teacher and meditator.

many. The steady flow of members of the public attending kept everyone busy. “It was wonderful to look around and see all the smiling (and painted) faces,” Sue added. “We were all left with plenty to think about from the talks and demos, which ranged from Erna Henning’s Mindfulness & Acceptance (bring the song back into your life) to Christine Blandford’s Sleeplessness (getting to sleep/getting back to sleep) - a topic that seems to be dear to many. Shakti Mats

and dōTerra products were particularly popular, along with Pure & Simple Nutrition where Pip Meads offered sensible information and tasty snack samples. All those practitioners present loved providing services to enhance well-being and enjoyed revelling in the warm, positive energy,” Sue reported. “If you’re planning a ‘bit of a do’, look no further than West Melton Playcentre for catering,” Sue enthused. “The food was well presented and tasty, with a great variety to suit all types of eaters - in one word amazing!”

The Darfield Rugby Club’s Div II Fundraising Quiz held last Friday evening in the Darfield Hotel was once again a huge success with the bar filled to capacity. Organisers were extremely pleased with how successful and enjoyable the smoothly run event was and thanked their supporters for making it so. There was a great selection of prizes which were eagerly sought by winners and place getters . The Division II rugby team extend their thanks to Deb and Ray O’Connell, Publicans at the Darfield Hotel, for the use of their premises, as well as all their sponsors who donated prizes. The winning team Chronic Baiters L to R: Michael Brankin, William Wright, Harry Pankhurst, Lance Meikle.

Another four months of the year have flown by but the Sheffield Garden Club has kept busy. So far Winter has treated us kindly and long may it last. The heavy frosts will hopefully dispose of some of the pesky summer bugs we have to contend with. April was our AGM month with office bearers remaining the same as 2017 except for our vice president, Theckla, standing aside for Dawn Logan to take her place. Welcome also to our two new commi<ee members, Glenys Gillanders and Stuart Lamont. We had a very interes+ng speaker, Mr Michael Coulter, on all things gardening and I’m sure we all came away with a useful +p or two. May’s mee+ng had us listening to informa+on from Hugh Paterson on the ‘Beau+fica+on of Small Towns’. Lots of good ideas came out of this and some progress has already started around the Sheffield / Waddington area. June was +me for our ‘Mid Winter Xmas’ dinner held at the Sheffield Hotel. Thank you again to our hostess and staff for a lovely meal and an enjoyable evening. Our July mee+ng saw Michelle Devereux (The Salt Lady), entertain us with all the delicious things we could do with some of her wonderful salt combina+ons. The idea of some cooking demonstra+ons in the future could be something we may have to try and plan for. It was also really nice to have such a good a<endance, as it makes it worthwhile when we get a really interes+ng speaker. Finally, I am handing the reins over to Dawn as hubby and I are off on his ‘first OE’. I will see you all again in October, hopefully with tales to tell. Take care and happy gardening.

The Malvern Netball Junior CoOrdinator Terina Graham hosted a fun Festival Day on Sunday, July 8th at the Darfield Netball Courts. The day was held for all Years’ 1 & 2, 3 & 4 and 5 & 6 Mother Earth futureFERNS players from throughout Malvern, as a windup to their season. Terina invited teams from Burnham, Dunsandel and West Melton (from Selwyn Centre) to join Malvern for a minitournament. “The day was such a success and enjoyed by all our young players,” commented Terina. Mother Earth futureFERNS is divided into four key stages of

development, from the youngest children in Year 1 right through to Intermediate age children in Year 8. The modified game transforms and becomes more challenging as the players get older and continue to develop their netball skills.

Terina thanks all the players, parents and helpers that made the day such a fun-filled event. To view more photos of the day please visit the Malvern Netball Centre Facebook page.

Jared Court (Courty) played his 100th Div 1 game for Darfield on July 7th at Darfield Rugby Club on Sponsors’ Day. Jared has played for Darfield Div 1 for seven years and his position in the team is wing/fullback. Jared is married to Rebecca and the couple have two sons James and George. George At the age of only four, Jared made his debut by playing his first game of Rugby for the Geraldine U8’s. His favourite player growing up, was Andrew Mehrtens and while the supporting image appears to prove oth erwise, J ar ed confesses to struggling to culture a beard! Jared’s interest/hobby outside of rugby would have to be AFL and when asked about likes and dislikes, said: “If I could have one super power it would be the ability to pick winning lotto numbers,” He quipped. “The worst job I have ever had was a paper round in Kaikoura.” Growing up Jared always wanted to be an All Black (what young

guy doesn’t?). However his current job is a storeman, while his biggest fear is that of falling from heights and scary stuff in the dark. He sums himself up as: “hairy beyond belief….!” “Actually,” Scott McIlroy, Darfield Rugby Club’s President added, “what an effort Courty. You turned up to the Club not knowing many people, but you now have life-long friends and you’ve stuck at it. You have been a huge part of the team for a number of years.” Club Captain Harry Pankhurst also had some very supportive words to say about Jared, “we’re not sure if Courty found Darfield, or Darfield found him, but either way, we really enjoy what he brings to the team (mainly his beard, punting and dummy). All jokes aside, it’s a big commitment from him with his work and now having a young family, so thanks to Rebecca Court too. From all the team, well done Courty. This is a huge milestone, congratulations and best of luck for the rest of the season.”

Sat 1st September - 5:30pm Bangor Function Centre Sponsor: Darfield Four Square July already and with several big events coming up, shooters were out to improve before team selections are made. This showed in the scores for the eye-opener with the two Daves Folley and Pitkethley leading the way with possibles, and the majority of the travelling team not too far adrift in the three top grades. On to round one of the Ross Shield with Steve Gawn and Bevan Brown leading the pack with 25/25 and five others on 24; some very good shooting interspersed with the usual assortment of skinny breaks to fill in the gaps especially for those shooting on Trap one.

Round two and the poor light was a bigger nuisance especially for those in the later squads and scores suffered.
