On Saturday, June 22nd, Two Rivers Community Trust proudly hosted their second Matariki in Malvern event. Two Rivers Community Trust’s mission statement is, ‘a resilient community where people belong, contribute and flourish’. Their events enable the community to meet together, to contribute and share knowledge and talents.

Matariki in Malvern does this by celebrating the Māori New Year through kapa haka, art, hāngi food, and interactive activities with the opportunity to be together as a community.

Kelly Maude, Maude Two Rivers Community Trust Events’ Coordinator, commented, “it was such a joy to see our tamariki (children) perform kapa haka with such passion. Kapa haka instructor Matua Anton does a truly fantastic job with all the primary schools in Malvern. The artwork was stunning and added vibrancy to the atmosphere. We have such incredible talent in our community and the kaiako (teachers) do a superb job of nurturing the creative best in their learners. There has been such a richness in learning around Matariki and tikanga Māori.”

Once again, a delicious hāngi meal was shared together, featuring a plentiful selection of pork, beef, lamb and chicken cooked in a kai cooker, served in ciabatta rolls with salads. Hot fruit crumbles, hot chocolates, and smoothies made on the popular smoothie bikes were also enjoyed, it was reported.

“Another highlight for me was seeing our tamariki taking the lead in learning. From the super cute young kapa haka leader, Marlie McCaughan of Kirwee Model School, to the powerful haka leading from Riley Smith of Darfield Primary School, and Sonny-Bill McAndrew of Glentunnel School. It was such a

delight to watch parents sitting with their tamariki learning how to weave a harakeke (flax) putiputi (flower), make a bookmark, origami, or woven wool star together. There were also lovely conversations about gardening with seeds being given away from Nourish in origami envelopes,” Kelly commented.

Two Rivers Community Trust thank all the many contributors, schools, pre-schools, and volunteers that enable this event to happen.

To share with the community all the projects they’ve been working on, Darfield St John Youth Cadets will present their inaugural art exhibition on July 5th. The event will be held in the Darfield High School Hall, with a gold coin donation to assist with camp fundraising.

The event will showcase the creativity and hard work of the Group’s members.

Darfield Cadets have been working towards their Arts’ Badge this year and along with creating some great pieces, they decided to organise this event to share all their work with the wider community.

Working hard all year to plan and organise the exhibition, Cadets will run it themselves and have it planned to coincide with the Darfield St John sixtieth anniversary.

Have you thought about fostering a child?

Visitors to the event can expect to see a wide range of exhibits including wearable art, painting, drawing and sculptures. Cadets have been working with Vicky Peacock of Creative Sparks to produce some amazi ng paintings, and these will be on display. As well, there will be a range of art up for auction (and look out for the cake in the auction also!). The funds raised from the entrance donation and the auction will go toward Camp attendance at the end of November. This is the Divisional Camp, held at Waddington and where Cadets will work toward

completion of their camping badges.

Darfield St John Youth Cadets began seven years ago under the leadership of Lynda Walter and it has just kept on growing. They currently have approximately fifty Cadets, along with some great leaders who give up their time to support those enrolled, assist them with new skills, help with training for competitions and teach them to be a part of the local community.

See the advertisement in this issue for full details and contact information.

Amy Adams has announced she will retire from politics at the 2020 election and as a consequence of that decision she has chosen to stand down from the spokesperson roles she holds in the Party.

Amy has been the MP for Selwyn since 2008 and is currently both the Finance spokesperson and the Shadow Attorney General.

“I have been incredibly privileged to serve as the MP for Selwyn and a member of the National Party Caucus for twelve years,” Amy explained.

“Making the decision to step away from politics has not been an easy one, but it is the right time for me and my family and

I’m looking forward to whatever the future holds.

“I have every confidence in the National Party under Simon Bridges’ Bridges leadership and their prospects for the 2020 election. My decision is purely about what is right for me and the life I want to lead going forward.

“I’ve chosen to make this announcement now, as given the seniority of the positions I hold in the Caucus, I felt that it was important new people have time to establish themselves in those roles as we head towards 2020.

“From now until the election I will continue to work hard as the advocate for the people of

Selwyn Gallery is bringing an eclectic mix of artwork to Darfield, with its upcoming exhibition, ‘The Re-sale’.

The exhibition has something for everyone, with works from local favourites such as Katrina Mitchell, Mitchell through to widely rec og ni s ed C hr i stch u rch printmaker Marion Maguire - all submitted and priced by their current owners.

There are currently counterfeit bank notes circulating in the Canterbury District and Police are aware of one such note having made its way to a local business.

Here are some useful tips for businesses to look for when handling cash: • Try to tear the banknote (gently at an edge - don’t rip all the way through!). Genuine banknotes won’t rip if you try to tear them, but most counterfeits are made of paper and tear easily.

• For series 6 banknotes (older style with oval windows): Hold the banknote up to the light and look for the Queen.

(We’ve never seen a New Zealand counterfeit with the watermark simulated).

• For series 7 banknotes: Look at the bird on the front left.

The metallic line should move when you tilt the note. You should see a fern in the middle of the bird if you hold it up to the light.

There are many other security features in our genuine banknotes, but the current batch of counterfeits are reusing genuine holographic windows in their fake notes.

Keep it short and sweet - try to tear it, and hold it up to the light (this works for both styles of banknote).

For further information Police recommend that respective retailers contact their bank for further information and useful tips for identifying possible counterfeit banknotes.

When a colleague of a Malvern Patchwork group member was murdered in the Mosque terrorism attack it gave the Group much food for thought as to what they could craft for a fitting gift to the family.

The group expanded on an idea begun by a quilting store in the North Island who called for quilters to craft fifty quilts (we now know that number is in fact fifty one) as a representation of those who lost their lives in the tragedy and another fifty for the survivors. Response was overwhelming and exceeded all expectations with more than two hundred quilts received by the organisers from all over the world.

The Malvern Patchwork group came up with a more personal plan to create two quilts for the victim’s young daughters; quilts that depicted purity and paradise by the use of colour.

Each member worked on a

block of the quilt and the beautiful fabric used was sourced from The Sewing Room in Darfield. The hearts pattern incorporated in the quilts represents healing, with the colour white for purity and peace, as well as being the colour donned for Muslim prayers; and green for paradise.

The Malvern Patchworkers worked on the quilts over a two month period putting many, many hours of work and dedication into the coverlets.

The annual Darfield Trinity Church, Used Book Fair will take place over four days, starting on the first weekend of the school holidays in July.

“Need something for a winter’s night; are the grandchildren staying with you for school holidays; want to find a movie to watch, or maybe pick up some new music to listen to as you work on a jigsaw puzzle?,” asked Rev Susan Baldwin.

Baldwin “If you drop in to the Darfield Trinity Church Hall, it’s hard to walk way empty-handed after

browsing through the huge selection of books, DVDs, CDs, puzzles, and a few games.”

Susan reported that this past week a steady stream of donated books and puzzles had been arriving from all over the area, including children’s literature.

“Folk are welcome to come and browse at their leisure,” Susan added. “Access to the Hall is from Greendale Road, right

The exquisite finished products have now been given to the family and it’s hoped they’ll bring some comfort for years to come.

The Malvern Patchwork group numbers around fifteen members and until recently met in the Sheffield Community Hall.

With earthquake work on the Hall making it difficult for groups to schedule timeslots they are now domiciled in the Darfield Fire Station for their group sessions.

Absolutely beautiful - two quilts for the daughters of a Mosque attack victim.

The Selwyn Responsible Business Awards began in earnest in early June. These are run by Lincoln Envirotown with the generous support of the Selwyn District Council.

“Much work has been done on the online survey to make it a streamlined and enjoyable process and judging by the number of businesses that have already completed it, this goal has been achieved,” reported Dave Fitzjohn, project manager Lincoln Envirotown. “It is aimed at providing a thought provoking exercise which prompts businesses to examine th e e nv iro nm e nt a l a nd community engagement aspects of their practices.”

Coordinators have been appointed to visit those businesses who opt to undertake the process, to assess and discuss their surveys and grant them an appropriate award.

Awards will be presented at a big event in the latter part of October.

Is peach fuzz on your face driving you fruity?

Dermaplaning is a super effective, exfoliating, in-salon, treatment in which your qualified therapist will use a small device (blade) to remove dead skin cells (along with the peach fuzz on your face).

Dead skin cells can leave your skin looking dull and this kind of mechanical exfoliation is great for maintaining a healthy glow - especially in the winter months.

Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types, with the exception of skins with active acne, and despite initial concerns that hair will grow back thicker or darker - this is definitely not the case!

Once clients feel the gorgeous, soft complexion revealed by this treatment they are in love and can't wait to have it again.

Other amazing bonuses include; flawless makeup application - as there are no pesky hairs for your foundation to stick to and better absorption of your skincare as the dry dead skin cells are not hindering your products getting to your newer healthy cells.

Does it hurt? Definitely not; it is very relaxing and after your treatment lie back and relax while your therapist treats your skin to quenching serums and facial oils to refresh and treat your new skin.

Come join us at More For You Darfield and Affinity Beauty and Bodycare, West Melton and experience it for yourself.

Recently Darfield High School’s students of French competed in a Cooking Competition from the country of the same name. The French Cooking Competition is one looked forward to by all students of the subject and this year’s was no exception.

The event attracts entries from numerous schools around the Christchurch region and runs in a similar fashion to television’s MasterChef. Students have two hours to produce a two course meal in their teams of four for judges to critique. Each year participating students base their dish choices around the theme for the competition. This year’s theme was La Provence, a French region well known for its love of tomatoes, olives and garlic.

Darfield entered two teams in the competition with team one

a mixed group of year 11 - 13 students, while team two was a straight year 11 group.

Team one produced a Daube (traditional beef casserole), Fougasse (a regional flat bread with olive and herbs) and Coulombiers (an almond cake).

It was reported that the team performed extremely well and impressed the judges, but unfortunately, with only half a point between them, they were pipped for the win by Cashmere High.

The second team cooked pan fried fish fillet served with tomatoes stuffed with garlic and a side of Fougasse. For dessert they baked a Lemon Cake which was served with fresh lemon curd and whipped cream. The

team worked well together and their fabulous dishes secured them a well deserved win.

Selwyn District Council are to hold an information evening for people considering standing in this year’s local elections.

Nominations for candidates to stand in the Council and Malvern Community Board elections open mid July and close mid August. Voting papers will be delivered to Selwyn electors in late September and voting closes on Saturday, October 12th.

Anyone considering standing in the elections can find out more at an information evening to held at the Council offices in Rolleston, early July.

Council chief executive David Ward said standing for local government is a great way for community-minded people to have a meaningful say on issues that affect their communities.

“It’s also an excellent opportun ity to deve lop leadership skills,” David added.

“We’re fortunate that Selwyn has many people who give their time generously in local clubs, sports, committees and organisations. I’d encourage people to consider using their skills in local government.

“It’s important that communities are supported by a diversity of representatives with the skills, abilities and training to respond to major community issues especially as the demographics of our district have been changing rapidly over recent

years.

“In Selwyn we face some critical decisions in the coming years about how we respond to our continuing growth - what facilities and services are important, and how we prioritise our spending to benefit the whole district.

“These are the issues that get debated around the Council and Community Board tables, and our residents want to feel confident their representatives will make the best decisions. We also hope that with a good selection of capable and enthusiastic candidates, even more citizens will be encouraged to vote this year,” he said.

In Selwyn, elections will be held for the mayor and eleven councillors, along with five members of the Malvern Community Board. Voters will also vote for representatives on the Mid Canterbury Constituency of the Canterbury Regional Council (Environment Canterbury) and for members to represent the Canterbury District Health Board.

Potential candidates can also find out more about the elections and candidate requirements by downloading the candidate handbook from the Council website at www.selwyn.govt.nz/elections.

The Kirwee Volunteer Fire Brigade is ramping up its efforts to secure a 4WD drive rapid response vehicle, saying that being limited to large fire trucks is slowing down its ability to respond to emergencies in tough terrain.

Chief Fire Officer Stuart Jones commented that the Brigade is often called out in deep snow, high winds, or to areas accessible only on unsealed roads.

“Taking the big fire appliances around those tracks is pretty challenging, we’re damaging the trucks, smashing mirrors off, that sort of thing, just to get around and up these long and tree lined drives,” Stuart added.

“If we had a rapid response vehicle we could use that to locate the scene of the emergency and to scout out safe access before we bring in any heavy equipment. It would also allow us to get CPR going, in medical emergencies, much faster, as we don’t have to gather a four-person crew for the big appliance,” he explained.

Stuart also owns the local Kirwee Challenge Service Station, and added that the company’s ‘My Challenge’ rewards’ programme is part of the push to help the Brigade achieve its goal. Customers have the ability to choose to donate their My Challenge fuel discount to the Kirwee Volunteer Fire Brigade.

“Our Challenge stations are all locally owned and employ local staff, so we really wanted to give each station a way to fuel projects that will really make a difference in their own communities,” said Challenge’s Marketing Manager Cathy Cottle.

Cottle Stuart reported that the Challenge initiative has made it much easier for more people to get involved.

“We’ve been doing raffles down at the hotel, the usual stuff, but now we’re seeing a much wider section of our village community able to donate because it’s so simple,” he said.

Stuart estimates the vehicle plus a locker box for equipment will cost approximately $50,000 and they’ve raised around $30,000 of that over the last year. He’s hoping the Challenge initiative will get them over the goal line.

“I and two employees are also

Brigade volunteers,” Stuart said. “When there’s an emergency we need four crew on an appliance, so as soon as a call comes in we down tools, I shut up the workshop and we all head off.

“Our medical calls are always pretty serious, these are not cuts or scratches, we have people falling off horses, cardiac arrests, that sort of thing. The nearest St John is Darfield and they’re volunteers too. For us to get to these situations more quickly would really make a difference to those people’s chances,” he stressed.

Now in their thirteenth year the Fonterra Best Site Cups c e l e b r at e t h e b e s t i n manufacturing they have to offer. There are fourteen awards handed out, with every site in the running for each

category. The overall awards (big / small and medium site) are based on the site’s size, and volume of production.

Darfield is now home to Fonterra’s best transport team following the ‘Oscars of Manufacturing’, Fonterra’s recent best site awards.

Darfield picked up the hotly contested award ahead of the twenty five other Fonterra manufacturing sites throughout the country. The awards recognise the commitment and dedication from the team in a variety of categories.

Shane Taylor, Taylor Depot Manager for Canterbury and Upper Southland said, “I’m really proud of the transport teams at Darfield and the Upper South Island. It’s their hard work that has contributed to winning the award; it’s about getting everyone home safely at the end of the day.”

Tanker drivers are the face of Fonterra every day - both to the public on the roads, and to the Company shareholders at milk pick-up time. The Transport Cup is based on driver performance

scores, fuel efficiency and culture. Fonterra stresses that if their drivers drive well they keep themselves and the public safe on the roads, they save money on fuel and take better care of the tankers. Darfield/ upper South Island tankers travel around eight million kilometres each season.

Fonterra Darfield employs more than 280 people, has a total of three plants and produces milk powder and cream cheese. It also has a fleet of fifty tankers and 150 tanker operators.

Product from the site is distributed to more than forty markets. Darfield were also runners-up in the best Big Site award.

Fonterra’s manufacturing sites employ close to 7,000 people throughout the country in a range of roles from factory processors to tanker operators, food safety and quality experts and environmental managers, all of them working to turn farmers’ milk into products that end up in more than 140 countries around the world.

By Anna Bensemann Senior Planner, Baseline Group Land near our coastlines makes up some of New Zealand’s best and most sought-after farmland. Coastal farming provides great workplace views, and creates some of the most interesting farming opportunities.

However, farming near the coastline comes with its own pressures, challenges and resource management planning considerations.

There is greater demand in coastal areas for lifestyle blocks as people seek to create their own ‘slice of paradise’ with a coastal view, and because of this there are greater restrictions placed on how land can be used in the areas closest to the coastline.

National and Regional planning documents manage three broad aspects of the use of the coastal environment.

First, they manage the risk to people and property from development, or activities, in areas where there is a risk from natural coastal hazards.

Secondly planning frameworks manage the effects activities have on the ecological components of the coastline and thirdly these frameworks manage how the coastlines are appreciated by c om m u ni t i e s, i nc l ud i n g

landscape, seascape and cultural values.

The coastal environment is typically identified in planning documents as being the area from the water’s edge (called Mean High Water Springs) to the top of the first visible ridge. This is the area i nfl ue nc e d by c oa st a l processes. In areas where there are large flats next to the coastline the coastal environment is usually limited to a couple of hundred metres inland. In the coastal environment any activity which is likely to have an adverse effect is required to be avoided.

Under most Regional Planning frameworks subdivisions, or new buildings, near coastal areas subject to erosion, or coastal flooding, may not be allowed, to avoid the risk to people and property. In areas where there are important or rare coastal plants, or the habitat of important or rare birds, reptiles or other animals, activities such as earthworks and vegetation clearance may not be permitted, or may be subject to stringent rules. In areas where there are important landscapes, planning frameworks may limit the types of uses that can occur in those areas, including limiting where, or what, colours and materials,

buildings can be. In the top of the South many of our coastlines were historically used by iwi tribes and contain remnants of that occupation.

Any earthworks of these areas may require consideration by Heritage New Zealand, or local iwi, to ensure that there is no disturbance of important remnants of occupation.

While it is easy to visit and appreciate beautiful farms next to the sea, and to believe that it might be nice to live and work there, it is important to consi der the planni ng provisions that help to ensure it remains that way. It is also important to acknowledge those farmers who, when looking to make changes to their own land, find themselves subject to much more stringent rules than others, simply because they own a piece of paradise.

On Saturday night, June 22nd, the St Peter’s Church in Springfield held another very successful Fred Bull Film Evening. The Church was close to full capacity as people came to enjoy a wonderful, community evening.

Once again, organisers felt they were very lucky with the weather, as while it was a cold, crisp winter’s evening - no rain was evident. As folk arrived they were greeted with either a delicious warm black-currant drink or a Reverend Tom Innes specialty; mulled wine!

There was then time to chat with friends, both old and new, admire the beautifully lit up Church and grounds before moving inside to hear Fred talk and show films of yesteryear.

“For those that haven’t yet been to see Fred’s movies, I

experienced a bus ride,” Tracy said.

When the lights in the Theatre dimmed everyone watched in awe as the characters came out and performed what was reported to be a wonderful rendition of the ‘Room on the Broom’ story.

“The puffy dragon was a real favourite amongst the tamariki,” Tracy added. “Through this experience the children learnt how to express themselves through drama; retelling a story in a creative and expressive way. They learnt about being part of a group and listening to a story, along with patience (which they displayed so well whilst waiting to see the Show),”

Tracy said. “We’d like to thank the amazing parents and whānau who came along to help on the trip too,” she concluded.

On Wednesday, June 5th, a group of children in the Inventors and Navigators Rooms of The Cats Pyjamas Preschool at West Melton embarked on an excursion to the Isaac Theatre Royal, in Christchurch, to see the theatrical production of ‘Room on the Broom’.

“This is one of our favourite children’s books by Julia Donaldson,” Donaldson Preschool owner Tracy Summerfield reported.

Prior to attending the show, The Cats Pyjamas’ teachers and children had been reading lots of Julia’s stories including, The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo’s Child, The Smartest Giant in Town and of course, Room on the Broom as part of their literacy focus.

“Many tamariki shared their favourite books from home too, which was wonderful and at group times we also read other rhyming books that promote imaginative ideas as well,” Tracy explained.

The children counted down the days to this event and were so excited when it finally arrived.

On the bus there was a constant hum of chatter.

“We looked out the windows and described what we could see on our journey into the city; for some of our friends, this was the first time they had

The Darfield High School production of Grease has just concluded its run of performances to acclaimed review from those attending.

Directed by Morehu Solomon, Solomon HOD Drama, the production involved more than fifty students as cast and crew members. The team involved performed three evening and two matinees, dedicating hundreds of hours to get the Show stage-ready by opening night. The result was a stunning, fabulous and colourful performance of Grease, which allowed talented performing arts students to strut their stuff, it was reported.

Kate Morris gave a natural portrayal of her character, Sandy, whether she was sweetly recounting her seasonal sweetheart in Summer Nights or contrasting her tough and rebellious self for T-Bird Love.

As the infamous bad boy who breaks Sandy’s heart, but then strives to get her back, James Stead was the charming yet defiant Danny Zuko. The TBirds, Kenickie (Kear Kear Billings), Billings Doody (Kieran Kieran McKay), McKay Rodger (Matthew Matthew Young) Young and Sonny (Callum Callum Jones), Jones sang and danced well, performing a wellcrafted image of the 1950’s high school bad boys.

The Pink Ladies, Rizzo (Hanako Hanako

Wilson), Frenchy (Michelle Michelle Wilson Bruce), Jessica Galletly) Bruce Jan (Jessica Galletly and Marty (Charlotte Charlotte Moana), Moana counterpointed the boys’ toughguy performance with style, attitude and flair. Hanako’s portrayal of the tough, but vulnerable and hurt Rizzo, was another highlight, along with Charlotte Moana’s solo, Freddy My Love.

One of the many highlights was the wonderful singing of the angel, played by Cameron Mills, Mills who made the hit Beauty School Dropout memorable.

A production of Grease would not be complete without an incredibly talented band led by Glenn Teasdale, Teasdale HOD Music. The

Locals again featured strongly in the Sunday, June 23rd, Bridge to Bridge North, Mountain Bike event, on the North Bank of the Waimakariri River. The event offered 15km, 30km and 60km categories.

The original Bridge to Bridge event is held in December on the South Bank of the Waimakariri River and offers categories of 12km, 30km, 58km and 115km.

These events really do cater for everyone, youngsters seven years and upwards for the shorter ride and 13+ years for the longer races. The ride also let anyone with a competitive instinct of old, to have another crack; the Clydesdales for men 100kg plus and Clydesdalesses for women 75kg plus, as well as a category for Cancer Survivors.

The ride saw competitors tested by tracks heavy in shingle, four wheel drive trails, forestry, sand,

some water, single track and stop bank riding.

Both rides are all downhill which makes them achievable for anyone young or old. Those really wanting to challenge themselves will choose the highest distances, while the recreational lesser kilometres were also found to be popular.

A few recognisable local names had great results in the North event: 60km Section:

band comprised Aiko Sakurai on Piano, Vaughan Smart on Guitar, Z’Arn Payne on Keyboard, plus Callum Watson and Barnaby Maude on Drums, playing along with their teachers, Kath Wilson on the Flugelhorn and Glenn on Bass Guitar.

Everyone can agree that the whole Show was brilliant, and the lead actors and supporting crew each played their part incredibly well. Darfield High School definitely showcased some fantastic talent.

Congratulations go to all the staff and students at the School for another top production.

The Malvern squad took part in what was a huge field of keen, nervous and excited runners.

There was a minimum of 119 runners in the Year 5/6 races (two kilometre course), with the Year 7/8 races (three kilometre course) having 185 participants per race (1353 runners competed in total). This created challenges on course with tight bottle necks, narrow tracks and jostling for every step. However the Malvern runners took it in their stride and gave it their all with smiles on their faces, it was reported.

Local Darfield High School students Nathan Carter and Isla McPherson proudly represented their School at the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Cross Country, which was held at Ashbury Park, Timaru on June, 15th and 16th.

It was reported to have been a hilly course with rain on and off all day on the Saturday. There were many talented runners

from all over New Zealand competing on what was described as a ‘tough course’.

“Nathan loves running the hills, he has incredible resilience and determination and was very proud of his efforts,” commented his mum Bridget Carter.

Carter Nathan enjoyed the support of his parents and grandparents, along with close family and friends who were all there to

Page 13

cheer him on. Without exception they were all extremely proud of his gold medal winning performance in the Senior Para T20 two kilometre race, which he finished in a time of 8:16.

Nathan is no stranger to medal winning performances having won two other golds already; one at the New Zealand Secondary School’s Cross Country held in 2017 in Christchurch in the junior para athlete race and the other in December 2018 at the senior para athlete road race held in Dunedin.

Isla competed on both days of competition; the first as an individual running three kilometres and finishing a creditable 26th out of 89 top year 9 runners with a time of 12:46. On day two Isla competed for the Canterbury A year 9 relay team, where each runner had to run two kilometres. The Canterbury team consisting of Xanthe Jane (Rangiora High School), Nicole Vance (Rangi Ruru Girls’ School), Bridie Restieaux (Villa Maria College), Pippa Baker (Christchurch Girls High) and Isla (Darfield High School) finished with a silver medal, just being beaten by Wellington and out running Auckland who finished in third.

NEW LINE DANCING CLASSES AT DARFIELD & OXFORD

Since the beginning of term 2 Malvern Netball Centre has run the Mother Earth Future Ferns programme. The Years’ 1-4 programme is run on Monday afternoons at the Darfield Netball courts. The series t e a ch e s yo u ng p l ay e r s fundamental skills through activities and adapted netball focussed games. This year organisers are fortunate to have a range of volunteers from local Darfield High School; Ashley Kala, Kala Charli Moana and Esther Bruce - who are all skilled netball players themselves. Alongside these much appreciated helpers are parents who have committed to supporting these youngest of players learn and develop; Sharon Forrester, Forrester Corita Mitchell, Mitchell Dee Oliver, Oliver Jo Allen and Cat Tijsen.

Tijsen As the end of the term

approaches Malvern Netball will celebrate with a Festival Day for the last session of the programme and where players will show off all the skills they have learned over the term.

“I enjoy it, there are lots of cool games and it’s making me real fit,” commented Year 2 Glentunnel student, Emily Batstone.

Batstone Also playing a form of modified netball are teams from Years 56 and Years 7-8 and they play alongside other Malvern teams on a Saturday morning at Darfield.

A number of Year 5-6 teams recently attended the North Canterbury Rainbow Games at Rangiora. South Malvern Maples, Springfield/Sheffield Sparkles and Springfield Sheffield/Sprinkles had an enjoyable day and had the opportunity to play four games and practice their skills against unknown teams.

“It was a great opportunity for our young players to have lots of fun and show all the skills they had learned so far,” said Ariana Batstone, Batstone Malvern Junior Coordinator.

Rates and Annual Plan confirmed: The Council approved the district-wide rates and targeted rates along with the Annual Plan 2019/20 at its meeting on Wednesday (June 12th).

The confirmed rates are largely unchanged from what was signalled last year in the LongTerm Plan 2018-2028. Overall rates across the District will rise by an average of about six per cent.

The Annual Plan includes $173 million of expenditure on major capital projects such as the Rolleston Town Centre and Te Ara Ātea library, health hub, Foster Park indoor courts and Selwyn Aquatic Centre.

Decision made to formally legalise Coalgate roads: The Council has agreed to start a process to legalise a series of undedicated roads around Coalgate.

Historically, these roads were laid out when Coalgate was first planned but were not properly transferred to the Crown. This left issues around unclear ownership and use and left

properties without legal road access, which has limited options for subdivision and growth of the township.

Dedicating the roads will clear up the ownership issues, give properties legal road access and allow Council and land owners the ability to plan for future growth with improved certainty.

The Council will now publicly list its intention to formalise the land as public road, and Council will meet with the affected landowners to discuss the implications for them and receive feedback. That will help the Council in making decisions around how these roads will be used in conjunction with adjoining landowners Central Plains Water: Councillors received a briefing from the Central Plains Water Trust on the development of the CPW scheme, which is now fully operational. Stage 2 of the scheme was completed in October 2018, bringing the total irrigated area to 47,000 hectares.

A strong young man at a construction site was bragging that he could out-do anyone when it came to pure strength.

He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workers on his team. After several minutes of ranting, the older worker had had enough and challenged the hot-headed young worker.

“Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and challenge me to a strength competition,” he said.

“I will bet an entire week’s pay that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that building that you won’t be able to wheel back.” “You’re on, old man,” the young boaster replied.

‘Let’s see what you got!” The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles.

Then, nodding to the young man, he said: “Alright, hop in.”
