Darfield High School joined with schools from throughout Canterbury to compete in the annual Showquest, held in the Christchurch Town Hall on Monday, May 20th. Showquest is a nationwide performing arts platform for schools, showcasing music, drama and dance. Students must create, produce and perform their original theatrical production, complete with student-designed and constructed costumes and props. Year 13 students, Jemma Dalley and Alex McGregor took lead roles in the organisation and the production of the DHS performance with the emotive theme of ‘lack of consent and sexual assault’. Focussing on what happens, what people go through, how often the victim is blamed and that it only takes one person to change lives for better or worse.

Darfield were placed second overall, plus won the Music Soundtrack Award and the Theme Award.

Alex was also rewarded for her outstanding performance with the Outstanding Rangatahi Award, presented for the best overall dancer on the night. Local dance studio TM Dance

World can also feel proud of the DHS result as a large proportion of the performance troupe either are, or have been, pupils of the School.

Being aware that every day six children and adults are diagnosed with a blood cancer like leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma, dedicated Kirwee Brigade Firefighters, Jonathan Hamilton, Hamilton Blair Jones, Jones Dale Evans (team captain), and Stu Begg donned full fire fighting kit and ran up the 1103 steps (51 flights) of the Sky Tower last weekend. At 320 metres high the Sky Tower is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. The Kirwee team were among the 1000 firefighters taking part, fundraising for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer NZ (LBC) in the fifteenth, annual event wearing up to 25kgs of equipment. This comprehensive event and fundraising model, is now consistently raising over $1 million for LBC, a charity that receives no government funding. Every dollar raised by the firefighters goes directly to LBC and the event is seen as a fun and competitive way of raising funds. Kirwee times: Dale Evans 13.04; Jonathan Hamilton 17.08; Blair Jones 19.48; Stu Begg 19.28. The team has raised $6,000 at the time of going to print, but there’s still the opportunity to donate by going to the LBC website and clicking the donate button.

Kirwee Players introduce Jeremy and Izzy Tocker, Tocker aka Perchik and Hodel, in this year’s show ‘Fiddler on the Roof’. Jeremy and Izzy got together after sharing a ride from town, out to little old Kirwee for the 2013 Show - Viva Mexico. Jeremy played Ramon the dashingly handsome, dual personality, suave Mexican Robin Hood and Izzy played the sensual and mischievous Senator’s daughter. Time spent together blossomed into a real life, love affair. Their shared love of musical theatre grew as they performed in many other shows. These included Rock of Ages for Magnitude Productions and shows with North Canterbury Musicals, as well as every show for Kirwee Players since then: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas 2014, Oliver 2015, Grease 2016, The Full Monty 2017 (where they actually got to play a married couple), and Witches of Eastwick 2018. It was during the aftershow

party for The Full Monty that Jeremy got up on stage and sang his proposal to Izzy - a true romantic at heart singing Gaston’s ‘Me’ from Beauty and the Beast. Now they play another romantic couple, who get married in Fiddler on the Roof. Fantasy mirroring real life, or is it the other way round? Like real life, Perchik and Hodel’s romance has its normal ups and downs and barriers to true happiness. They go against the tradition of using a matchmaker and find their own way to love, much to the consternation of Tevye, Hodel’s father, who finds it so hard that traditions are now being broken. Like any couple from different cultures, they find life is not as easy as they thought and the repercussions impact on more than just themselves. To find out how their story grows, see Fiddler on the Roof performed by Kirwee Players.

Testament to the marketing skills of the organisers was the fact that 14,000 people attended the second Hororata Night Glow, held on Saturday, May 18th, in the Hororata Domain. “We were absolutely blown away with the crowd numbers for the Festival, it was way beyond what we anticipated in just the second year of the Trust running this event,” said Hororata Community Trust Chair, Richard Lang. Lang “Our vision was to create a community event that was welcoming, entertaining and an all-around great experience for everyone, we believe we have done this. The festival was amazing with a really fun and happy atmosphere. People of all ages enjoyed the many, many

activities throughout the afternoon including the Glow Circus, University of Canterbury Science demonstrations, food and wine tasting, live music and a huge range of fairground fun.” The cold inflated balloon walkthrough was hugely popular with thousands taking the opportunity to experience what it is like to be inside a hot air balloon. “Naturally we were disappointed that we were unable to get the balloons up for the Night Glow due to adverse wind conditions, however the balloonists put on a spectacular and unique burner glow, which when combined with the fireworks and other activities proved to be a successful evening’s entertainment,” Richard said.

While the firework display entranced, the music on offer was also really positively received - with numerous comments online praising the quality. Bands Chilton House (with Hororata’s Holly Kimber as lead singer) and Sound Sensation (with Kirwee’s Richard Johnston on lead guitar/vocals) both impressed and entertained the crowds with their talent. Hororata, although a small community, punches well above its weight in staging big events and the Night Glow is an outstanding platform to showcase the district. Eight community groups ran very successful fundraising stalls at the event with money raised going back into the community. “The larger than expected crowd did challenge organisers but the volunteers on site rose to the occasion doing all they could to manage it. We thank

everyone for their understanding and for coming along to support the event which really makes a difference to our community. “The event would not have been possible without Ballooning Canterbury, the visiting balloonists, volunteers, suppliers and our many partners and spectators. They all worked so hard to do everything they could to deliver a memorable and enjoyable festival,” Richard concluded.

Three different perspectives on nature will be on show at Selwyn Gallery this June. Painters David Ellena and Arna Marshall show us their inspiration in a range of acrylic paintings and Darfieldbased glass artist, Lorraine Natusch, Natusch will bring a new range of glass works, along with some familiar favourites, in ‘Nature Refined’. The exhibition opens Friday, May 31st at 6pm and all are welcome with drinks and nibbles supplied. David Ellena has enjoyed painting throughout his graphic design and workshop teaching

career, attracted to the arts while working alongside artists and woodcarvers in a joinery shop. David paints in acrylic, capturing scenes inspired by his travels throughout New Zealand and the local Selwyn area. His background in joinery also allows him to frame all of his own work. Arna Marshall paints in a bright, eye-catching style, beginning with flaxes transposed onto vivid New Zealand landscapes. Largely self-taught, Arna enjoys pencil sketching from various

When deciding what fertiliser to put on your pasture paddocks you may not go for the cheapest available product. Rather, your product selection will be based on the quality of the results you see in grass growth and stock condition. In the same way, your choice in consultants when embarking on a project that requires expert planning, or engineering advice, can significantly alter the ultimate quality of the end product and the return on investment. Resource consents may be required for a wide variety of projects in the modern farming environment. Working through the rules and requirements for everything from subdivision, to earthworks, waterway realignment, or the set-up for a dairy farm can be frustrating. If you are not getting the right advice on these projects you may find yourself installing unnecessary infrastructure, or paying unnecessary fees and contributions. With rules and regulations

best result out of the need to obtain a resource consent from Council can be a minefield. Your focus is more likely to be on your farming business, rather than keeping up with every single change occurring under the Resource Management Act (among other pieces of relevant legislation). A consultant is there to guide you through this process and ensure that you are getting the best result for your needs. Knowing that there are several ways to achieve the desired outcome is an important skill for planning and engineering consultants. Multiple different solutions may give you the same final outcome, but each will come with different time and cost implications. Having a good quality consultant guiding you during the design and resource consenting phase of your project, may reduce the overall total costs, even if the consultant costs slightly more upfront. I know of an example when our expert knowledge

After being presented with the 2019 West Melton Scholarship, Kaitlin Feast made special mention of her time at Darfield High School in her acceptance speech to a recent West Melton School assembly. She said she was a rather ‘shy girl’ but at DHS she developed into someone who took full part in school activities. She was very involved in hockey, was a member of the School’s formal committee, as well as receiving

academic colours. Kaitlin is in the final year of a Batchelor of Sports Coaching at Canterbury University and plans to be a PE teacher. As well as excellent University grades, Kaitlin is heavily involved in show jumping, coaching/playing hockey and working part time in a physiotherapy clinic. The West Melton Scholarship is community funded and awarded annually to a final year tertiary student.

applicant from installing pipe work and seeking additional unnecessary resource consents to discharge stormwater. This reduced the total project cost by thousands of dollars, and avoided time delays. Had the applicant not have sought a second opinion, he would never have known that an alternative, more cost efficient, solution existed. In this example the applicant’s savings far outweighed the consultant fees. So, when you are next embarking on a project that requires resource consent, consider the level of investment you are planning to make in to that project, and consider how much value a good expert planner or engineer will add to that project. Much like when considering the right product to use on the farm, the best end results come from investing in good quality products at the beginning.

From the audience reaction to Moana Maniapoto there’s no doubt that the sound of ‘down home folk music’ still connects with people. An audience of almost forty enjoyed Moana and her small band bring great toetapping music to Trinity Church Darfield on Tuesday, May 14th. Perhaps best known for her work with Moana and the Moahunters, she began the concert by inviting the guitar and ukulele players up to join in on ‘Down By The Riverside’ and ‘You Are My Sunshine’, in true garage band style. From there the entire performance seemed to flow from a place of real fulfilment and joy in making music, and a deep commitment in spreading the message of caring for our water and our world. The concert was framed by Moana’s tech wizard and keyboard player, Paddy Free, Free who announced news’ highlights in the decades from the 60’s to the 2000’s, while Moana interspersed personal stories and music of those times that helped all of us to relive parts of New Zealand history. Gradually we became awa r e th at th e wh o le performance focussed more closely on themes of identity, activism, and concern for the environment. Whether she was telling about her experience singing in a Black Baptist church in Detroit, connecting with Finlanders above the Arctic Circle, or inspiring university students in Moscow to learn te reo Maori, Moana injected a gentle humour into her narrative. Even her realisation that her music and influence are ‘globally hot, locally not’ came with a wry smile and an ironic chuckle. The audience was certainly treated to a performance of international calibre. Moana’s folk singing style is flawless, and her sister, Trina, Trina is equally talented, either as a soloist or backup vocalist. Guitarist Cadzow Cossar showed his virtuosity with solid musicianship, tonal variety, and well executed special effects. It was an evening of nostalgia, good music, and a timely message.

3.95% FOR THREE YEARS! YEARS! For those of us born in the 50’s - 60’s who remember paying 20%, this sort of rate seems amazing! For those who think this is the norm, act now and increase your repayments while the good going lasts you would be amazed at how even an extra $20 a month reduces the term and total interest paid on your lending. I do harp on about debt consolidation but getting your out-of-hand credit card debt and personal lending under control could also save you money. If you have the equity to spare in your mortgage then topping up your lending to cover that personal debt could be a good way forward. Putting all your HP’s, credit cards and other personal loans into one package will help you to get on top of the repayments at a likely lower rate than you are paying currently.

On Friday, May 17th people from all over New Zealand joined together and wore pink to reinforce the anti bullying message. In support of the catch-phrase ‘Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying’ numerous well-known Kiwi’s lent their names to the pink shirt day initiative; amongst them were Suzy Cato, Cato John Kirwan, Kirwan Anika Moa, Moa Hilary Barry, Barry Dame Valerie Adams and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Ardern Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a fellow student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Ending homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying remains a focus of the campaign. Many local schools showed their support by wearing pink to support the cause.

On Wednesday, May 8th the whole of Windwhistle School headed to town for a school trip. Pupils, Staff and parents travelled to Christchurch in cars and a bus and enjoyed numerous activities once they arrived. They attended the new library, Margaret Mahy Playground and Art Gallery and it was reported to be a fabulous day, enjoyed by all.

Above: Students from Darfield Primary School wearing pink to support anti bullying.

Windwhistle School was a sea of pink on Friday, May 17th. They were showing their support for anti bullying on Pink Shirt Day. They also raised $48 for the Westpac Helicopter through a gold coin donation on their Pink Shirt day.

Windwhistle School went to town! We trav elled to Christchurch in parent cars and the bus. I went in the bus. As soon as we got to town we parked outside the library. We met the guides at the bottom of the big steep stairs. There were two guides one called Amy and the other called Susan. Room one had Amy and Susan we had Susan. First we climbed the stairs and then caught the lift up to the fourth floor. My favourite thing at the library was the 3D printer. Then we walked with our buddies to the Margaret Mahy Playground. We ate lunch and then had a play on the playground. I played on the

slides. Once we had played we walked to the art gallery with our buddies. First we looked at paintings. Then we started drawing our birds by Eileen Mayo. Mine was a kiwi. Our day in town by Max B, Room 2.

When we got to town we met the whole school at the new library. First we went to the top floor to look at the rooftop gardens and the 3-D printer. They had a lot of examples of what they had made with the printer. After that we looked down the staircase right to the bottom floor. The stairs looked like the shifting stairs off Harry Potter. After we went to Imagination Station and played on the playground and played with the Lego.

The Suzuki Trails Gowanlea Trailride was held on Sunday, May 19th with 386 riders from throughout the South Island in attendance. With a reputation for being a challenging event, it was also a fundraiser for Glentunnel School who operated an appreciated barbecue. The course was comprised of a mixture of terrain over tussock hill country and through forestry plantations, with some very muddy sections to challenge riders. Most riders completed one to two laps if they attempted all three Enduro options on the course. With a

six kilometre Children's loop and a Novice shortcut there were a large number of family entries this year which was assisted by the good weather conditions. The oldest participant Tim

The week of May 27th until June 2nd, is Toy Library Awareness Week and incorporates World Play Day which is held on May 28th each year. Kirwee and West Melton Toy Library would like everyone to know all about the positive aspects of being involved with a Toy Library and how Play is the Way. Kirwee and West Melton Toy Library was started around 1994/1995 from an idea that grew following discussions at Kirwee Plunket coffee mornings, held in the Kirwee Presbyterian Church Hall. The Group is run by a voluntary committee and relies on fundraising and grants for their funds. Through Plunket they are fortunate to receive grants from the Lottery Community Grants scheme to assist with the purchase of new toys and to cover their premises’ rental. This enables them to keep their membership fees affordable and to not impose additional fees for toys hired. Kirwee and West Melton Toy Library operate from the Kirwee Community Hall on scheduled Saturday mornings. At a toy library borrowing can be done from a vast array of well-made toys that have been

designed to support a child’s skill development and imagination. Toy libraries aim to support families and encourage togetherness with quality time spent playing with children. Parents and caregivers have a myriad of choices and often feel overwhelmed with toy clutter at home. By choosing toy libraries to source children's toys, families can provide a wide variety of toys to assist their child’s development, giving back to their children the right to play. World Play Day celebrates children's right to play on May 28th every year. “Play is so important to all of us, especially children. Article 31 of the United National Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) recognises the right of the child to rest and leisure and to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child,” said a spokesperson for Kirwee and West Melton Toy Library. Despite this, play tends to be one of the most neglected of all rights of a child. Increased urbanisation and the commercialisation of play influences the way children

engage in play. For many children in both rich and poor countries, child labour, domestic work or increasing educational demands reduce time available for play. “Some of this message may seem somewhat remote to those of you who are not involved in toy libraries; however, the essence of the World Play Day is to show your belief in the value of play and to play especially in some way with grandchildren, school children, hospital patients, old people, factory workers……. ‘Just play on world play day!!’,” encouraged Freda Kim, Kim Founder of World Play Day, International Toy Library Association.

Local business Curle Contracting is understandably rather proud of one of their staff members. Twenty one year old Regan Cornelissen is currently on leave from his local employment until the end of May doing something he’s extremely good at. When in New Zealand, Regan lives at Charing Cross and attended Darfield High School after doing his primary years at Greendale Primary School. Regan has always been around machines and riding bikes from a young age and so the natural progression was to design and build tracks and jumps. So good he became at doing just that, that he was approached to go and do it in Canada - which is where he currently is. “I was taught how to operate a digger at primary school,” Regan commented. “Then pretty much everything else from there was self taught, with my skills further honed by working at Curle Contracting. I also built my own BMX track in the backyard with a digger.” Having a home practice base was possibly the advantage that led to Regan representing New Zealand at the BMX world championships in both Australia and New Zealand. Regan also worked on building mountain bike tracks at the Christchurch Adventure Park utilising a wide range of digger sizes. “This definitely boosted my operating skills massively; being out on the side of a hill, in some very dangerous spots that a regular digger operator wouldn’t even consider putting themselves in,” Regan smiled. “I

was also behind the controls of a digger, building the Nut Buster Hard Enduro Prologue Endurocross motorbike event at the Christchurch A & P Show last November, alongside Mitchell Macdonald,” Macdonald he added. Then again in the digger rebuilding the Michael Godfrey Memorial Motocross Race Track for this year’s race in early June, alongside Mitchell again, volunteering our time for the Christchurch Off-Road Motorcycle Club. This was all before Regan hopped on the plane bound for Canada to design and build dirt jump parks in Kelowna and Squamish BC with the help of

Angus Macdonald, Macdonald for Dream Wizards. “I’m having the most amazing experience,” Regan finished.

It was good to see the event being supported by some great athletes: including Darfield local Mark, and it was nice to see his podium finish,” Tara added. “It was also nice to enjoy a big bag of Hokitika fish and chips at

Sheffield’s Daryl and Alice Greenwood competed in the 24km event and commented the event was amazing and the scenery was just spectacular. The event took them from Lake Kaniere through to Hokitika, with a mixture of trails and road. The couple echoed Tara’s comments about the organisation. “The event was really well organised, from the race pack pick up, right through to the end of the event. Volunteers were out in force at the feed stations, always with a friendly smile and words of encouragement, even the competitors were a great support crew to have.” Darfield’s Mark Beattie not only took on the 100km race, but also finished it with some outstanding results. He came in at fifth overall and achieved third place in the 18-39 open men's race, earning him a welldeserved spot on the podium. Mark added that runners appreciated some words of wisdom from Greymouth mayor, Tony Kokshoorn before they set off into the darkness. “The terrain was varied,” Mark said,” and I would imagine that as this inaugural event was already well subscribed, it will become even more popular in years to come. “The whole race and prize giving was an awesome atmosphere, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering entry,” he added. “As usual I had wonderful support from my wife Lauren, Lauren my mother Susan and her husband Keith Ross plus mascot Bronson Simon Beattie (the pug dog),” Mark smiled.

Environment Canterbury regional park ranger Amy Penketh says hello to Paula Charmley and her dog, Kahu, at The Willows.

old, human and animal too,” he said. “The opening was well attended with many people coming to explore the tracks on foot and on bike,” Sam explained. “There were a number of dog owners also interested to walk with their dogs along the river. The NZMCA spoke about working together as organisations to provide places for self contained responsible camping, something that Selwyn District Council is serious about,” he added. The Park was developed by Environment Canterbury with support from Selwyn District Council, while the New Zealand Motor Caravan Association was also one of the key partners. “It’s really cool to come to a project where it’s not just about one group of people doing something for the members of that one group,” Sam said. James Page, Page team leader parks and forests for Environment Canterbury, echoed Sam’s thoughts. “This park is a good example, and a case study really, of what can be achieved if multiple agencies work together with the private sector, as well,” James said. Despite the overcast weather, more than one hundred people attended the opening, which featured a handful of speeches before Sam cut a ribbon and declared the Park officially opened. Members of the New Zealand Motor Caravan Association attended with their motorhomes and caravans, while other guests traversed the walking and cycling trail. There was also a biodiversity walk hosted by E n v i ro n m e n t C a n t e r b u r y regional park ranger Greg Stanley. Stanley Selwyn District councillors Nicole Reid and Mark Alexander attended the opening, as well as Environment Canterbury councillor Tom Lambie. Lambie Aside from the dedicated walking and cycling trail, there’s a range of great fishing spots and picnic facilities. More than 1,000 trees were planted as part of the development of the area to aid the park’s biodiversity.

To the Editors: I would like to thank the residents of Malvern for their patience over this summer with regards the mowing of townships. It was a very busy summer with significant growth prior to, and after, Christmas and this put pressure on all areas throughout the district. We have a local and loyal team who do take a lot of pride in what they do. We, along with the staff at Selwyn District Council are committed to providing a very high standard throughout the district and appreciate the effort people make to their own areas to present their township in the best light. We apologise if some residents were unhappy during the summer with the amount of mowing completed. We appreciate feedback and anyone is welcome to contact us through the Selwyn District Council. As many of you will have noticed we have now moved our main office base from Darfield to Rolleston. We want to thank everyone in the Malvern area for their support over the years we have been based in Darfield and be rest assured, although we have moved locations, our commitment to the area will not diminish.

David Wilson CEO SICON Ltd, Parks & Reserves Contractor for SDC. To the Editors - From the Editors: We have had reports from our deliverers that they have witnessed school aged children removing copies of the Malvern News from resident’s post boxes. We can only assume this is being done as a prank and the papers themselves are then being dumped. However for our loyal readers, many of whom are elderly, this involves a trek into the township to get another copy from our office. As well as the inconvenience to our readers, there’s also the cost and inconvenience to us - both of which are more than a tad annoying. If anyone knows who has been entertaining themselves by doing this - we’d love to know too, please.
