Around three hundred people, including forty Frews, gathered at Frew’s Transport, Darfield yard last Saturday (June 15th) to celebrate the launch of ‘Frews Journey - Towards a Century’. This is Evan Frew’s story of the Frew’s Transport company since 1921 when his grandfather, Edgar Frew, Frew bought a half share in a Greendale cartage company powered by a traction engine. Merv Frew welcomed guests and the senior Frew brothers gave speeches outlining some of the history of the Company. These were followed by Elaine Smith (nee Frew) who paid tribute to the Frew women, without whose input, especially in the early years, the Company would never have survived. Evan told briefly how the book came to be written. It started as a record for his children and grandchildren but, as he collected information, he came to realise that it might have more general appeal and so the idea of writing and publishing an actual book was born. Hence, it

Edgar Frew’s original traction engine with L to R: Chaz, Hamish, Merv, Owen, Evan and Dean Frew. is not just a family history; it covers how things were done in ‘the old days’ and the many changes in the local transport and farming scene in nearly one hundred years. Changes in hay carting, fertiliser spreading, grain cartage, demolition etc are all mentioned in the book. Evan found that writing a book turned out to be a much longer and more complex process than he had imagined. He paid tribute to the many folk who had helped him along the way,

♦ Weekly Newspaper ♦ Business Cards ♦ Photocopying ♦ Laminating ♦ Binding ♦ Typesetting

during the past five years or so. He described Saturday’s book launch as a very satisfying day. Tribute was paid to three long serving staff members - Ian Thomas, Thomas Barry Taylor and Neil Walker - who were presented with Books to mark their collective 135 years of service to the Company (or companies bought by Frews). The Frew

family also thanked their many loyal clients without whom no company can survive. Speeches were followed by a very welcome hot drink and morning tea and the opportunity to catch -up with old acquaintances, buy a book, or check out the fantastic display of trucks and gear around the yard.

The deadline (June 30th) for entering the Malvern 48-hour FilmFest Challenge is fast approaching. “If you are thinking about entering the FilmFest, now is the time to download your registration form and email it in,” said Phil Baldwin, Baldwin Chair of the Malvern Community Arts Council, local sponsor of the competition. The 48-hour filmmaking event is scheduled to kick off on Friday evening, July 12th, at the Darfield Recreation Centre. “At 6.30pm we’ll draw the film genres for each entry and reveal the three required elements for the films - a specific character, a precise line of dialogue, and a particular

prop - that must be included in each film entry to be eligible for prizes,” Phil said. The 48-hour window for making the two-to-six minute films is scheduled for the middle weekend of winter school holidays. Entries must be submitted by the 7.30pm deadline on Sunday, July 14th to be in the running for the prizes, which range from a $500 Grand Champion, $250 Honourable Mention, $125 for best actor, director, script, cinematography, editing and sound, to special prizes for the best Primary and High School team entries. “We’ve promoted the event through high schools in the Selwyn District, as well as parts

of Christchurch, plus primary schools in the Malvern area to capitalise on the adventurous and ambitious nature of young people,” Phil added. The qualifying short films are scheduled for screening and prize giving at the Darfield Recreation Centre on Saturday, July 20th. “We have a panel of judges who have experience making films, and teaching filmmaking, lined up, so we’re confident that the talent and expertise of our entries will be recognised,” Phil concluded.

“It is so frustrating after all the hard work that goes into community theatre, that someone broke into the Kirwee Players wardrobe and stole three drawers full of stage make -up, new brushes and a drawer full of costume jewellery,” said Linda Gosling, Gosling President of Kirwee Players. It has taken over forty years for the Kirwee Players community drama company to amass the costumes, accessories and makeup, used to put on the annual musical and stored in purpose-built premises. “Also having a Kirwee Kids’ show, for the past three years, means we get through a fair amount of make up,” Linda added. “Kirwee Kids production of ‘Shrek’ used up pots of green and black stage make up, depleting the bulk of that stored in the make up wardrobe. So in April this year around $600 was spent to replenish the supplies. It was cleaned, labelled with the

date and neatly put away, ready for the next show,” explained Anna Randall, Randall from the make up crew. “All that hard work, gone!” Kirwee Players is a volunteer organisation with much time given freely by dedicated theatre locals. “This is another reason why this theft is so upsetting,” Linda added, “it’s seeing years of work taken away.” Linda has set up a Facebook page post asking for the return of the stolen goods, but sadly those responsible have no conscience, and haven’t responded. “The make up is not like normal make up you can wear every day, it is really thick and heavy, which is necessary to withstand the lights. The costume jewellery is worthless to sell; but priceless to us,” she said. As there was a lack of response from the thieves, Linda then set up a donation page, hoping to raise the $600 needed to

Page 3

replace the stage makeup stolen. “We are so appreciative - it took less than six hours to raise that amount and more is still coming in,” Linda said gratefully. “I have been blown away by the generosity of the local community and the wider theatre community, not only have we raised the money, but we have had offers of costume jewellery from all over the Selwyn district. We want to thank everyone for their continued support and as we say ‘The Show Must Go On’,” Linda concluded.

Local Greendale novelist, short story and non-fiction writer Sandra Arnold has two new books about to be published: 'Soul Etchings', and 'The Ash, the Well and the Bluebell'. ‘Soul Etchings’ is a collection of short stories to be published in the United Kingdom at the end of June. Covering death, motherhood, the nature of reality, and the gender expectations of cultural conditioning, these biting little stories in Sandra’s debut flash fiction collection are sometimes sad, surreal and sinister. However they’re also shot through with love and a deep understanding of humanity. Sandra’s third novel, (but fifth book published), 'The Ash, the Well and the Bluebell' (Makaro Press, NZ) will be launched in Christchurch, mid August. This

novel was one Sandra worked on during her Seresin Landfall/ Otago University Press Writing Residency in 2014. Her fourweek writing residency took place at Waterfall Bay in the Marlborough Sounds. Originally the book had a working/draft title of ‘The Eshwell Bridge Witch Project’ but now has its final title of, 'The Ash, the Well and the Bluebell’. The novel explores post-war educational philosophy, social inequality and colour prejudice. As well as government policies that sent poor British children to Canada, Australia and New Zealand to work on farms and eventually populate receiving countries with white British stock. The book also looks at the bonds of friendship, love and connections that traverse time and place, from seventeenth century England to present day New Zealand,” Sandra added. Along with a dog and a couple of horses Sandra and husband Chris moved from Christchurch to Greendale twenty three years

ago, with their youngest daughter Rebecca, Rebecca (Rebecca’s death was the influence behind Sandra’s book Sing no Songs; Losing a Daughter to Cancer). The reasons for their move still hold true today. They wanted to live in a beautiful, peaceful environment with clean air to breathe, space to walk, or cycle, mountains, rivers and forests close by, a garden full of trees and birds; but also not to be too far from town. Twenty three years on and Sandra and Chris now have four alpacas, three hens and a new dog! Added to that they have fabulous neighbours, some of whom Sandra has got to know through the local book group and through music evenings held monthly in the former Greendale Baptist Church. “With Darfield being only a few kilometres up the road, and having a dynamic arts scene, great cafes, a well-stocked library and all the services required of a thriving rural town, it’s everything we need,” Sandra concluded.

POOR CELL PHONE SIGNAL? Twenty three year old ex Darfield High School student Kieran Meikle, Meikle really is living the dream. Kieran is currently overseas having recently played in the Portugal round of the International 7’s tournament. As well as this presence on the international sporting stage he’s also secured a contract with British Bury St Edmonds Rugby Football Club (RFC), located North of London in Suffolk. The RFC opportunity came in response to the Club receiving Kieran’s CV and clips of his Darfield Rugby Club appearances, along with his representative honours through his London Club. Kieran had only been in England a few days when he was asked to play in the Samurai International 7’s Tournament in Amsterdam, then on to play in Portugal. It was an unprecedented opportunity to rub shoulders with some worldwide big names that have either represented their countries in rugby, or played in the International 7’s. In the first round of games in Amsterdam Kieran played well, scoring five tries. One of these was in the final against France, which unfortunately the Team lost 17-12. Next round of the Tournament series was Algarve in Portugal where the Team met France once again in the final, but this time they beat them 1514. “There were teams and players from all around the world in this Tournament,” Kieran said. “I found it rather weird signing balls for people and kicking some into the crowds. Not something usually done in Darfield! But it’s a big thing in the International 7’s,” Kieran laughed. Kieran managed to do a bit of sightseeing while away at the Tournament and of course had time to celebrate the success of beating France in Portugal. Back in England Kieran has been training hard ready for RFC games. He has also been asked to play in the Samurai UK team, playing in the super 7’s series leg 3 in Newbury. Kieran commented that he still feels he has to pinch himself as he can’t believe his luck with all the opportunities he has been given; along with all the gear. Kieran keeps in regular contact

with home and is always keen to find how his old team Darfield Div1 go each week. This weekend Kieran will fly to Prague and play in the New Zealand Ambassadors game, before returning to the UK on

June 27th for the Samurai 7’s tournament in London. “He is certainly making the most of all his opportunities,” Kieran’s proud mum, Maureen Meikle commented.

Thirteen year old Hope Chmiel from Leeston has been selected for the New Zealand Youth (aged 13-17) Swim Team and will attend the October State Team Championships in Canberra. Villa Maria student Hope, swims for the Vikings Swim Club, undertaking a rigorous six day a week training regime at Kings Swim School. Hope has been swimming competitively since she was eight years old and her twelve year old brother Toby looks to be also following in her footsteps. She commented that she has always enjoyed attending swimming lessons and began competitive swimming after encouragement by her instructor at the time. Following her first competitive entry she fell in love with the sport and has continued to do well. Hope feels it’s an honour to have been selected for the New Zealand team and she plans to compete to the very best of her ability. Recently she attended the National Age Groups Swimming

competition in Wellington where she came away with some amazing results: • Two gold medals and two national titles in the 100 metre and 200 metre Backstroke. • Silver in the 200 metre Individual Medley. • Bronze in the 50 metre Backstroke. While Hope’s dream is to one day represent New Zealand in swimming at the Olympics, she is also actively involved in a number of other sports. She plays basketball for her school and until recently also played netball for Dunsandel. Added to this are her equestrian interests and the fact she loves to drive racehorses at home with her parents Terry and Glenys who have a harness racing stable. The 2019 State Teams Championships is a short course meet and will be held at the Australian Institute of Sport, Canberra from October 4th 6th. The event is a team based competition; New Zealand competes as a country, and Australian teams compete as

states going head-to-head in a variety of individual and relay events to score points for their state/country.

Local family partnership, Earl Worsfold and his parents Syd and Trish have come out on top at the United Wheat Growers’ competition recently, winning this year’s top award, plus the Feed Wheat section. This competition is a highlight on the arable farming calendar as it creates the perfect opportunity for the best arable farmers to showcase their best cropping efforts.

Sixth generation farmer Earl, has grown up on the 400ha family arable and livestock farm in Greendale. He farms alongside his parents, while also leasing a neighbouring 260ha farm on his own account. The Worsfolds usually sow around 200ha a year in wheat, with Earl’s focus being more on feed grains. This year Earl, his family and other arable farmers’ crops

experienced an exceptionally wet spring and slow growing season. “Our cereal crops did very well in these conditions although the peas and some other crops not so much,” Earl commented. “Although under a lot of disease pressure we managed to get our input timings just right. I think a bit of luck probably came our way in that respect,” he added. “We’re also extremely appreciative of the expertise of our PGG Wrightson, Darfield, agronomist, Alice Keir. Keir We enjoyed great harvest weather which helped with the quality of the crop,” he said. The partnership’s winning crop was the Graham hybrid seed which produced thirteen tonne a hectare and Earl said it has more than proven its worth. “We just look at the FAR (Foundation For Arable Research) trial results when selecting and this was one that definitely stood out. It’s been pretty exceptional for us, the seed weighed well and every truck that collected the grain was very full,” Earl concluded. The win was extra special for the Worsfold family as it goes alongside Syd’s winning award from last year where he achieved the Federated Farmers’ Arable Farmer of the Year, marking thirty years of commitment to the arable sector. Syd had also judged this particular competition for a number of years, so this win was extremely fitting for the Worsfold family. Division winners of the United Wheat Growers Competition: • Wheat Grower of the Year: Earl Worsfold. • Premium Milling: Alburn Farming Ltd, Ryan Cockburn & Alan Tindall. • Milling/Gristing: Canterbury Bulbs Ltd, Remco Stehouwer. • Biscuit: Seaview Lovett Farm Ltd, Lovett Family. • Feed: S&E Worsfold, Earl Worsfold.

The Malvern Farmers Veterinary Club Charitable Trust (MFVCCT) thanks local residents Eleanor Green and Roger Knowles for piecing together the 1952 until 2018 history of the Malvern Farmers Veterinary Club. The pair have spent many hours interviewing, researching, and writing up this history of the Club, which is appreciated by all concerned. From humble beginnings, out of necessity in 1952 when there were no local vets, right through until when the Club was finally

transferred to the MFVCCT, all has been documented in Eleanor and Roger’s research. It must also be noted that after nineteen years, long-serving Chairman, Colin Guild has retired from what was the MFVC, and later the MFVCCT. During this time Colin has been instrumental in turning the MFVC from a Club to a contract model, which involved building two new purpose-built facilities, before finally transferring the assets into a Charitable trust. This to “advance the welfare of

This month Nicky O’Sullivan from BHU Organics Trust is our speaker at Nourish, a monthly gardening meeting run by Two Rivers Community Trust. Nicky will explain exactly what role creepy-crawlies play in the health of our plants. BHU and the BioProtection Research Centre at Lincoln University have developed, with King’s Seeds, a kit for gardeners and schools. This contains thirteen fascinating techniques for people to experiment with and work out the acidity of their soil, as well as how to attract bees to their crops, and ladybirds to eat their pests. Nicky will demonstrate aspects of this kit and have some kits for sale on the night. Whether people are experts or beginner gardeners, Nicky and her kit will have useful information to start people off, or go deeper with. All ages are welcome. The Community Garden, Almond Park, Russell Street, Darfield, has established a herb garden recently. Join other gardeners there on Wednesdays from 9-11am. The Seed Bank from the Darfield Library will have free seeds at Matariki celebrations, held in the Darfield Recreation Centre on June 22nd. People are also welcome to bring seeds to share.

Garden Focus for June: Garlic and Shallot planting time.

The Art Collector's Wife “One call & we’ we’ll do them all” all”

A New York attorney representing a wealthy art collector called his client. "I have some good news, and I have some bad news." The art collector replied, "I've had an awful day. Give me the good news first." The lawyer said, "Well, I met with your wife today, and she informed me that she just invested $5,000 in two pictures that she thinks will bring a minimum of $15 million to $20 million, and I think she could be right." Saul replied enthusiastically, "Well done! My wife is a brilliant businesswoman! You've just made my day. Now I know I can handle the bad news. What is it?" The lawyer replied, "The pictures are of you and your secretary."
