By Lucinda Jarvis. Cricket has always been in the blood for Darfield local Jesse Frew, Frew so it is no real surprise that he was recently selected for the New Zealand Under 19 Team. They will head to Bangladesh in April this year to play their first bilateral series against these opponents. This will be the first series in the lead up to the 2020 Under 19 World Cup, which will be played in South Africa next year. This tour will see the Team play one warm up fifty over match followed by five fifty over internationals against the Bangladesh Under 19 team. Cricket is very much apart of this family with Jesse’s dad Rob Frew playing for Canterbury from 1995 - 2003. Jesse’s mum Lisa Astle also has a sterling cricketing background, having played for both the Canterbury and New Zealand Women’s teams, as well as being the sister of ex Black Cap Nathan Astle. Jesse picked up cricket as a sport from the early age of four, where he continued playing junior cricket for the Darfield Cricket Club before going on, at Year 9, to play for the Selwyn Districts team which had boys predominantly from Darfield High School in it. In 2016 he moved

to St Andrew’s College and is in his third season representing the first XI. Two other Canterbury Country cricketers have also made the Team, Rhys Mariu (St Andrews College and Rangiora Cricket Club) and Angus Sidey (Christchurch Boys High school and Cheviot Cricket Club). “The boys have a busy six weeks ahead of them with additional trainings scheduled and individual fitness and cricket specific targets to meet,” commented Rob. “Touring and playing cricket in Bangladesh will be an eye opening experience, from both a sporting and cultural perspective. The boys will also gain a valuable insight into how international teams prepare and the varying conditions they encounter, and no doubt they will face some challenging situations on and off the field,” concluded Rob. The New Zealand Under 19 team is lucky to have former test batsman Peter Fulton as their coach with Adam Miles and Dion Ebrahim as the assistant coaches. These two teams have only met in World Cups to date which is four times in total and both teams have won and lost two games. The team will not be naming their captain until the squad arrives in Bangladesh with the intention of sharing the responsibility among several players.

To lose a talent at such a young age has touched the hearts of many that knew local Malvern musician Cingston Wickliffe Brown. Brown At the age of 24 Cingston succumbed to a rare kidney cancer, an illness he battled with for only four weeks after diagnosis, before his death just before Christmas.

Julia Chamberlain on the Mountain Run of the 2019 Coast to Coast. By Lucinda Jarvis. the event. She pulled out a kicked in and she wanted to Born and bred in Darfield twenty two year old, law student at Canterbury University, Julia Chamberlain is about to embark on a journey of a lifetime. She is heading off to run ‘The Speed Project,’ under the umbrella of the Melbourne based run club AM:PM. Julia has previously played hockey for many years and competed at representative level. She played five years of Premier Women’s Hockey for Carlton Redcliffs, however in 2018, she chose to not play hockey and to focus more on her studies and running. This year she ran the Mountain Run section of the Coast to Coast which she purely entered just wanting to have fun and enjoy
super run and ended up winning the women’s division of the Mountain Run. Julia has grown up watching the Coast to Coast and has always wanted to complete the race since she was a child, she thought the best way to approach this was to break it down. At the top of the run she was surprised to hear she was in second place, then her natural competitive spirit

catch the leader, which she did. Now she has had a taste of the Race, she would love to do the whole event. Julia also competed in the Queenstown Marathon in November which has helped develop her endurance and base fitness, which will be needed when she does The Speed Project at the end of March. The Speed Project with the Melbourne based run club AM:PM, is a race over 550km from Venice Beach in LA to Las Vegas, running through the night and crossing the infamous Death Valley with five other female athletes. Individually, they will roughly run 90km each over 40-48 hours. Run clubs from around the world get invited to compete in this underground event where there are no rules or sanctions. It is an incredible opportunity to take on staggering highs and challenging lows alongside a group of empowering female athletes. “We are your everyday women, training for the next woman to stand up and say, ‘it’s my turn’,” commented Julia. This is the most beautiful, yet unpredictable, challenge that Julia has ever set for herself. It is four weeks away, and she has never felt more excited about something. “There is a real sense of, support and dedication within my teammates that is captivating. It is our turn. We are here to show up, work hard and encourage each other to run the most demanding race of our lives,” concluded Julia.

Ex local Georgia Hendrie was raised in Darfield and attended both Darfield Primary and High School. She has always had a passion for art and agriculture. Georgia has now turned her two passions into something special, she does photography and can incorporate her love of animals into this. A few years after Georgia left school she went dairy farming locally, during this time she bought a camera and spent any spare time she had taking photos, playing around with settings and learning how to use Photoshop off You tube videos, she has never done a photography course just has a natural talent and passion for photography. About three years ago Georgia moved down south to a farm in Middlemarch with partner Tom Searle for a bit of a change. She decided to leave her full time job as a vet nurse eight months ago and follow her passion and turned her photography dream more into a reality. She is now able to commit to spending at least three days a week on her photography, to spend time building a website and doing commission work as well.

Bruce Both these students are very proud to be in these roles for the year. Michelle has been attending DHS since 2013, when she started as a Year 7 student. “I’ve really enjoyed my years at Darfield, I’ve had access to so many opportunities in and out of the classroom. I am really looking forward to the work that 2019’s prefects are going to get up to,” commented Michelle. “The group of prefects has been carefully selected, to properly represent the values Darfield holds - and we are all very enthusiastic to enact positive change in the School and community,” Michelle added. “I advise all students (especially new students) to take every opportunity with open arms, whether it is sporting, cultural or educational. Let’s make the most of 2019,” Michelle concluded. Jackson Proud is very proud (no pun intended) to be one of the Head Prefects at Darfield High
to use his role to strive for a better relationship between the students and the team of Head Prefects and to push to get Darfield High School more involved in the community. “It's still scary to think that I am Year 13 already and even more scared for the real world in 2020 and what I'm going to do,” commented Jackson. Jackson is the youngest of six children, who have all attended Darfield High School, so he feels Darfield High School is a part of their family, and will be in the future years. He has been involved in a lot of

activities at school, mainly involving sport. “My favourite activity would be the senior A basketball team; even though we weren't very successful, we still enjoyed each other's company and learnt a lot about what it means to be a team,” Jackson added. “I welcome all new students to Darfield High School, and encourage everyone to do their best to get involved in every opportunity they can, because it's not about winning; it's about having fun and learning something you wouldn't in your everyday life,” concluded Jackson.

A group, made up of concerned residents, has been formed to look into addressing the need for Social Housing in the area. This group of citizens, who want to assist in finding viable housing, has recently been incorporated as the Malvern Housing Trust. They ask, “what would you do if you were a solo parent, or a senior, who needed to find affordable housing in Malvern?” The formation of the Group follows the release of a report to the Selwyn District Council on November 7th, 2018 entitled
By Lucinda Jarvis. The Malvern Primary Schools’ triathlon for Year 4 - 6 students was held at Hororata Primary School on Thursday, February 21st. This was the first time it had been hosted by Hororata Primary School. The weather was superb and Hororata Primary School was a great venue for the event as it gave the children an opportunity to face some different challenges and the participants got to see some lovely scenery as well. The course was more of an off road design, comprising of a 70 metre swim, 1.5 kilometre run, 4.5 kilometre bike and a 1.5 kilometre run to back to the Hororata School grounds to finish. There were two Sportsmanship Awards awarded to two very worthy recipients. One was Charlotte Slater, Slater from Darfield Primary School who stayed with her injured friend to keep her

BUSINESS & PERSONAL ACCOUNTING If you are a business and your accounts live in a shoe box, or you give them to the accountant to do, or you have installed an accoun ng programme on your machine by a disk or an internet link; then you probably need to have a look at one of the replacement on-line accoun ng methods. If the usual has been one of those three previous selec ons to handle your invoices received and sent then the new type should be inves gated. The difference with the new type is that you need an internet connec on and then you login to a web site, put in your user name (usually your email address) and a password. Once authen cated it allows you access to a business or personal accoun ng programme on-line. Everything you need is a point and click and backups become a thing of the past, as they do them for you. Help becomes easier as your accountant with the creden als that you have authorised them to use, can jump in and have a look at where the problem lies. Once you have entered the data from received invoices in your soNware, coded them to the correct accounts (that you’ve setup when you entered your business details at signup) then you ask the accoun ng soNware company to organise automa c bank transfers from whoever you bank with. This takes a few days, but when complete as you open the programme your banking transac ons are visible to you - both the pluses and the minuses. So, once you code the incoming payments to the accounts that you created, you can ask the soNware to, ‘Do your GST’ for you. In the split second that it takes to process incomings and outgoings it then presents the standard Inland Revenue Form for you all filled out. Next you can go about the payment of GST for your business. Nice and easy huh - but the old adage is s ll true…you are only as good as the informa on that you put in. If you enter incorrect amounts, or misplace decimal places then the answers will s ll leave you scratching your head as the GST report says that you owe $14,343,251.00. Bugger!

I’m a firm believer that if you look after your car, it’ll look after you. Give it some loving and it will love you back! So what’s the difference between a service and an oil change? Both activities involve changing the engine oil and oil filter, that’s about where the similarities end. To be honest most back-yard mechanics can change the oil and filter on most vehicles. Which is great and long may it continue, because any oil change is better than none; but don’t get an oil change and a service confused. During a good service I’d expect: • All the vehicle fluids to be checked and a condition report, from window washer water to diff oil and everything in between. • A thorough inspection of the
vehicle’s brakes. • Checking all the other filters
(fuel, cabin, and air). • Check spark plugs for wear. • A visual inspection of the
ignition system. • Check all tyres (including the
example - wear out in direct proportion to the amount you drive. If you drive twice as far, your tyres wear out twice as fast. However, engines don’t follow the same rule. The precise clearances in your engine are designed around the thermal expansion of the parts; as the engine warms up - as the metal expands, the clearances become optimal. Unfortunately, it means the majority of mechanical wear takes place in the first few minutes after a cold start - and this is why there’s a time-based component to vehicle servicing. On the other side on the equation is the distance travelled. There is no doubt that travelling long distances is better for your engine than short trips but the engine oil has a limited capacity to lubricate, collect by-products and still maintain its viscosity before it gets contaminated. This is why there is a distancebased component. Letting servicing slide on the basis of, ‘I really don’t drive that much’ is at best a guarantee of early retirement for your engine. In the last six months we’ve had three cases where servicing has been skipped, or over-looked, and it has cost the vehicle owner thousands. For all your servicin g requirements please call Janelle, Janelle Macca and the team at Darfield Automotive WOF and Service Centre.
spare) and not just the tyre pressures, but also checking for damage to the tyres from foreign objects or poor wheel alignment. • A good visual underbody check looking at things like drive shafts, steering and suspension, CV and rack boots and any fluid leaks. • Lastly a Road test to make sure it drives ok. At Darfield Automotive we go the next step by cleaning your tyres, vacuuming the interior and adding an air freshener. Once a good service has been completed you should also have a list of any items of concern and if all clear, then you should have trouble free motoring until your next service. “So how often should I get a service, you may ask?” Firstly let me explain the vehicle service intervals and then quantify why manufacturers recommend them. All vehicle manufacturers specify a service interval of ‘X’ months or ‘X’ kilometres, whichever comes first. It’s that part that’s important! All manufacturers are different, but as a rule of thumb your vehicle should be serviced once every six months, or 10,000 kilometres, whichever Let us serve you with great comes first.

In action is Ollie Pearce, Brandon Thornley, Ethan Rose and Flynn Marshall at the river crossing of the recent Sheffield RFC Mountain Bike race. By Lucinda Jarvis. It was a perfect day for the Sheffield RFC fourth annual Mountain Bike Race on February, 17th. They had a fantastic turnout for this great event. There were one hundred and fifty six bikers and fifteen runners that attended the event this year. The weather put on a cracker of a day and the sheep poo didn’t deter any bikers or runners. This year saw a very high calibre of mountain bikers, with Ollie Peace breaking the course record by four seconds in an amazing time of 1hr 04 33sec, followed by local rider Ethan Rose in 1hr 07 46sec. The women’s was won by Katie Symons in a time 1hr25 37sec, followed by Annabelle Bligh in second place. The following results were from the mountain biking: 40-50 men's: Nathon Wright 50-60 men's: Neil Sutherland Over 60 men: Gary Ferguson 40-50 woman's: Katherine Fitch 50-60 woman's: Berie Cunneen Over 60 woman: Sharon Prutton The run section for the men was won by K Docherty in a time of 53.46 minutes and the women’s was won by Bex Mclean in a time of
56.42 minutes. There were no injuries reported and a highlight for the attendees were the lamb burgers that went down a treat. This day had a great family atmosphere with the children handing out the many spot prizes.

To the Editors: Marilyn, Great letter and I am happy to answer your questions. I have never stayed one night in Kaikoura and do eat cheese (Meadow Fresh). I have no problems with Bathurst, just a problem with a Council that allowed them to operate around the clock. You say you have never heard any noise but your decibel reader can pick up the sound. We have never met but you would be more than welcome to contact me, contact details are held by Malvern News, any time that suits you. I will be more than happy to give you, or answer any questions about myself and the concerns you have about my activities.
Andrew Horsburgh, Whitecliffs.
Unless something new comes to light - correspondence on this topic is now closed - Editors.
To the Editors: I wish with the whole of my heart to give extreme thanks to the Malvern Community Trust. This is low cost, transport assistance, allowing people to stay in their rural communities, and run by volunteers that give up their own time. Their help goes above and beyond. There is no need to name these wonderful people as they know who they are. These are not the only volunteers in the communities and without them we wouldn’t exist. Kindest regards.
Lorraine Rowe, Darfield

By Lucinda Jarvis. competition. At each station This year will see the second Tough Rider event to be held in mid March in Whitecliffs, New Zealand and will be hosted by Mike Ransom. Ransom Last year’s competition was held in Cave and proved to be a very successful, so organisers plan on this being an annual event. Tough Rider is the brainchild of Sara Roberts, Roberts Shona Drummond and Trish TaylorTaylor-Ward. This event is an all round fun timed team’s competition using common sense, farm skills and team work to complete set tasks. The overall winners are the team who completes the set tasks and has both horses and team members over the finish line. Teams must be capable of riding over approximately 5 - 6 kilometres of undulating terrain and riders must be fifteen years of age or older. Two teams of two horses and riders will run from the start line and saddle up their horses, which ever team is first through the gate will have the option of which pre-set tasks to do first and the other teams will be set off at timed intervals. All questions and a course walk are covered before the start of the
there will be a task master skilled in that field, that will give teams the go ahead that the task has been completed to a high enough standard, their ruling is final. Missing a task will result in teams being eliminated and an uncompleted task will result in a ten minute time penalty to that team. It doesn’t matter which team member completes the tasks, but teamwork is a big part of this competition. The exciting tasks set for this year’s competition are: • Saddle and bridle your horse. • Draft cattle - yard two white and two brown cattle beasts (do not close yard gate). • Move posts - move all posts from one stack to the other. All posts must be inside the waratahs. • Move wool bale - move wool bale around marked square and leave standing up in indicated area. • Bandage arm - roll up bandage and bandage team mates bare forearm and tie off. Take bandage off and leave loose. • Stack hay - move stacked hay to marked area and restack

Tree too big? Not enough light? Or just untidy!
• Fencing - tie off fence wire
onto post and then tie insulator on the end. Tie off must be done as per sample. • Brain teaser - A simple arithmetic equation to be done in the head. No pens allowed. • Nail post - hit three nails into side of post right up to the nail head. Bent over nails are unacceptable. • Hang gate - take gate off hinges move to other side of catch post and rehang gate on hinges again. • Tie knots - tie a bowline knot and a reef knot around post. Knots must be as per sample. • Split firewood - split three rounds into four equal parts each and load onto trailer. A broken axe handle will get a 15-minute time penalty! • Last event - is a secret. Horses will be vet checked twenty minutes after completion of the competition, horse welfare is extremely important so any unsoundness or harsh treatment will result in elimination. Riding gear must be suitable for the task at hand and helmets are strongly recommended and are compulsory for riders aged fifteen - eighteen years of age.

Summer in Selwyn’s work with connecting people to their community continues with Picnic in the Parks at venues around Selwyn and on March 7th it’s the turn of Springfield. It’s a chance for families to connect with their local park while being entertained by Lieutenant Lou - clown police, Pedalmania bikes, garden games, bouncy castles and face painting. There’ll also be live music creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. A free sausage sizzle is available and families are encouraged to bring their picnics to add to it, while they enjoy the event.

WEED SPRAYING After winning the toss against steely determination. Sefton and choosing to bat on a Pauling fell for 24 and was soon well prepared pitch, the home followed by Rob Frew for team were in the familiar 26. The tone of the innings position of being a couple of shifted immediately as the hard wickets down for not many runs. work done by these two was Captain Michael Pauling and new undone by Sefton’s bowlers and comer Rob Frew slowly the pressure placed on the scratched out runs wherever Darfield middle order, still with they could find them. Pauling fifteen overs to bat, was too played arguably his most much. important innings of the An under whelming score of 122 season. This was far from his didn’t seem to faze the Darfield best score, but in the context of players as they got straight into the match should not be ignored their work by chipping out early for its significance. wickets. Liam Foulkes (three Sefton’s bowlers were either wickets for 35 runs) dismissed very accurate, or very Canterbury representative wayward. They conceded over Fraser Sheat and troubled all twenty wides but juxtaposed that the Sefton players with sharp with bowling so accurate that turn and bounce from his offscoring runs took patience and spinners. Danger man and
Rob Frew called in to assist.
Sefton’s best batter Tim Harrison would have to be removed if Darfield were to have any chance. He fell for 41 runs, also to Foulkes, and then the pack came in for the kill. Michael Pauling (two wickets for eight runs) smelt blood and brought himself onto bowl while Cullen Moody helped with two wickets for 24 runs and Simon Edwards produced a run-out as the anxious Sefton batters tried once too often to steal a run. With Sefton needing only ten runs to win and two wickets in hand, Bodie Hawkins executed perhaps the greatest catch of the season. A powerfully hit, cut shot, was plucked from the air with one hand as it fell away from Hawkins, who amazingly managed to never release the ball while his body came crashing to the ground. But Hawkins went from Hero to Zero within the space of ten balls. He dropped a straightforward chance at mid-on that would have ended the match and seen Darfield get off the bottom of the table. A groan of agony went around the ground as the Darfield supporters buried their faces in their hands. With three runs to win, cricket decided it had one more twist in its tail. Michael Pauling (who seemingly could do no wrong) brought back his opening bowler, Chris Warner (two wickets for sixteen runs) who produced a perfect length ball, a little too close to cut that was hit straight to Simon Edwards at point and he made no mistake. The Darfield players probably won’t stop grinning until they arrive at Southbrook in Rangiora for a must-win game against the competition leaders on Saturday, March 2nd with play starting at 12:30pm.

by Marian Galloway local residents. Kirwee Bowling Club has been running Social Bowls on a Friday evening throughout this summer bowling season, except for a break over the school holidays - and when rain has got in the way! This has proven to be a very popular event, especially considering the many conflicts in people's calendars these days, with most of those attending stating that they have enjoyed the experience. Over forty visitors have taken up the opportunity offered by the Club, not counting the children, who are also welcomed along. Club members also attend and help get new players started. Just $2.00 allows entry to the green, with equipment and coaching available, along with a sausage or two from the barbecue! There are usually about two hours of play. The bar is open during the session and there is plenty of time to socialise afterwards, making it a great opportunity to get to know other
Bowls Canterbury has supported the initiative with the loan of six sets of bowls, which is much appreciated. The Club's objectives are to let members of the wider community share its wonderful facilities and to give them the chance to try their hand at lawn bowls without making any commitment. Many younger people are currently involved in other sports like rugby, cricket or tennis, and would like to
have a go at something a little different on a casual basis. The idea is that they have so much fun that they'll remember bowls when they decide to give up their more active pursuits, and then join the Bowling Club. This will ensure the Club's survival. The organiser, John Pilbrow, Pilbrow has commented that the main thing is for people to have fun, and the evenings will continue until the end of March, weather permitting.

“One call & we’ we’ll do them all” all”
A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She walked around to look at the artwork. As she got to one li=le girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, “I’m drawing a picture of God.” The teacher paused and said, “But no one knows what God looks like. Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing the girl replied, “They will in a minute.”
