Local Kirwee equestrian rider Gus Thompson (17) has been selected as one of five New Zealand show jumping riders and the only South Island rider, to represent New Zealand in Ching Chan, China in August. Gus lives with her family on their fifty acre farm that is focussed on equestrian pursuits. Currently they have twenty two horses on the property, most are show jumpers, with hunters and the ponies for their Camp business. Gus is currently employed by Selwyn Rakaia Vets, but also does horse racetrack training early in the mornings. The summer time will see her out mustering and throughout the school holidays Gus and her sisters run a holiday horse camp, which is thoroughly enjoyed by those attending. Gus heard about the opportunity to represent New Zealand via Facebook, met the age criteria (eighteen or under) and submitted a video riding a variety of mounts. A week later the exciting news came that she had been selected. “I was extremely excited as I have never ridden at a show outside New Zealand, so it will be an great eye opening experience,” she said. Gus will be riding a borrowed horse in China and
really has no idea what type of horse to expect. She has been asked if she would prefer a big and strong horse, or a fast and fiery one; her selection was for the fast and fiery! She was also offered two jump height options, 110cm or 120cm and decided to opt for the safer option of 110cm.
ISSUE 899 Friday 26th July 2019
If things go well in China Gus has the chance of qualifying to go back later in the year and jump higher. In the meantime she will have a few valuable days to get used to her borrowed horse before the competition. Gus has been focussing on her training lately by riding
numerous different types of horses and attempting to acclimatise herself for what may be provided in China. “I want to be able to give my best performance when I get there, so I am putting in the hard work now and hopefully it pays off,” Gus concluded.
Above: Horses are a true family affair for the Thompson Family, (L-R) Chris, Lisa, Gus (on the horse), Maddi, Andy and George, taken at Canterbury A & P show last year.

Dining out is a much lookedforward-to, treat and new Darfield business Woodley’s Restaurant and Wine Bar aims to keep it that way. The Restaurant and Wine Bar, named after Woodley’s owner Jacob Barwick’s Barwick Grandmother, has installed head chef Sarah Norman in their kitchen to ensure diners are always extremely well catered for. Sarah has worked with some of New Zealand and Australia’s leading chefs (Colin Colin Fassnidge, Fassnidge a My Kitchen Rules judge and Daniel Fraser guest judge on Master Chef) and been employed in some of the country’s top restaurants eg, Soul Bar and Bistro, Auckland Viaduct, and Duke of Marlborough. Woodley’s owner Jacob is himself, no stranger to hospitality having spent seventeen years in the industry and been employed in various roles ranging from five star resorts and hotels throughout New Zealand, plus a four year

stint as operations manager of the Woolston Club, before his immediate past role of general manager at the Wigram Base Hotel. Jacob is also a director of the marketing and design company, Logic Consultants. “My Mother and Step Father moved to Darfield several years ago and both work locally, so I was aware of the community and considered that when planning what we should offer at Woodley’s. Always bearing in
mind the need to provide great customer service and a wonderful dining experience,” Jacob explained. “The Restaurant and outdoor areas have had a softrefurbishment, paint, art work, lighting and of course the rebranding to Woodley’s Restaurant and Wine Bar (the premises were formerly The Terrace).” The name Woodley has a special connection for Jacob,
being his grandmother’s maiden name, “we really wanted to make food that soothes the soul and that would make Nana Woodley proud,” he added. Another family connection is the pa i nt i ng s di s p lay e d o n Woodley’s walls, as these are done by Jacob’s father, Paul Barwick, who is a Christchurch based artist. “We are no longer ‘Surf and Turf’, and now offer more traditional style, simple dishes,
alongside the continued, much enjoyed classics, like Blue Cod, and Roasts at the weekends,” Jacob said. Woodley’s recommend making a booking to dine, but welcome folk to join them for drinks, even if not planning to have a meal. They offer new beers on tap (Boundary Road Brewery) and also have a completely new wine list.

Experienced Counsellor Dawn Logan The Malvern Lions’ annual Changeover Night was held in the Darfield High School Hall on Wednesday, June 26th. This was the second occasion the event has taken place at this location with the PTSA fundraising by providing catering. There was also accompanying entertainment from the School’s Show band with some pieces from the musical Grease. On this night a new President and Board takes over for the new Lions’ year which runs from July 1st to June 30th. There were 92 in attendance at the evening which included eighteen visitors. Special guests were Malcolm and Claire Bennett and Rachel and Steve Inch, Inch ex-owners and managers of the Coalgate Tavern, who were thanked for their 32 years of meals provided to Malvern Lions, with a presentation. Other visitors were from Akaroa, Oxford, and Rolleston Lions Clubs. Guest speakers were three students, sponsored by Malvern Lions, and who had attended a Hillary Outdoor Course on Great Barrier Island. Sophie Clarke, Clarke
Leah HamiltonHamilton - Cross, Cross and Campbell Barrett gave an informative run-down of their trip and showed pictures of activities they undertook while on the Course. New Lions were welcomed and this year’s recipient of the Ramsey Gibson Award (recognising outstanding service to the Club) was announced as Graeme Roberts, Roberts before outgoing President Keith Taege delivered his report. He welcomed new Lions and stressed that the Club was very strong with positive members and he hoped it would long remain that way. He thanked all the partners of Lions’ members noting that without their support many projects just wouldn’t be achievable. Keith thanked the Board who he had had the pleasure of working with this year and commented that he rarely had to ask for assistance as it was freely given. He welcomed members from other Clubs who were present, adding that Malvern enjoyed visits between Clubs and that it was a wonderful opportunity to share

Keith acknowledged with sadness the deaths of members or past members, during the preceding year naming Roger Muir, Muir Godfrey Judd, Judd John Inch, Inch Julian Sharp and Malcolm Perkins and apologised if anyone had inadvertently been omitted. He made mention of Colin Stott (who was present) who, along with the International President of the time, had been instrumental in the formation of Malvern Lions. He then closed his address by welcoming incoming, fiftieth president Neale Todd, Todd saying that he hoped his year would be as positive and successful as the previous and offering his full support and assistance.

Darfield Div 1 travelled to Springston on Saturday for the big Semi Final clash and with 24 hours of rain and a curtain raiser played on the ground beforehand, we were greeted with very muddy and wet conditions. Springston came out hot, scoring a try within the first five minutes thanks to a fortuitous bounce from a chip kick that somehow bounced up perfectly in the conditions. Darfield quickly replied with a Sean Carston penalty goal that just snuck over, after slipping over during the process. The next thirty minutes belonged to Springston. They played perfect wet-weather rugby, with good tactical kicking from their ten, followed up with solid forwarddominated rugby, scoring two further tries and taking the lead out to 21-3, moments before halftime. But Darfield finally managed to hold on to the ball before half time after a number of attacks resulted in drop balls. Scott McIlroy scoring in the corner and converted from the side line much to the delight of a strong Darfield crowd on the far touchline. Darfield returned after half time to a real arm wrestle with Springston; mostly down to the conditions with
neither team really getting anything going until McIlroy dotted down in the 58th minute to bring Darfield within striking distance at 21-15 down, with twenty to play. The last twenty minutes were a real tense affair with resolute defence from Springston and a number of attacking raids coming from Darfield which came close, but no cigar. With time nearly up on the clock, a botched clearance by the Springston 9/10 combo meant Darfield had one last chance of an attacking line-out, inside the 22. After a number of

phases, and deep into injury time, Darfield worked close to the posts and McIlroy was able to crash over and burgle his third try to score an outstanding hat-trick in a semi final. That left the score at 21-22 with the kick to come. Up stepped young Sean Carston to slot the conversion straight through the middle to send Darfield to their third straight final!

Nominations are open until 12 noon on Friday, August 16th and Selwyn District Council deputy electoral officer Stephen Hill said potential candidates should aim to get their nominations completed as early as possible. “Getting nomination forms in early means we have plenty of time to check that everything is in order and all the documentation is completed in time,” he added. “Anyone thinking of standing for the Council or Malvern Community Board should take

the time to check the information in our candidate handbook, which is available online. “This includes everything candidates need to know about eligibility to stand for election, the nomination process, who can nominate you, key dates and how the election process works.” Anyone over the age of eighteen can stand for election if they are a New Zealand citizen and on the electoral roll. Nomination forms must be signed by two people who are enrolled as electors in the ward or subdivision that the person is nominated for.

By Anna Bensemann, repeatedly fail monitoring meet monitoring requirements? Senior Planner, Baseline Group inspections? Every application All is not lost however, as the Resource Consents are an everyday part of farming in New Zealand. It seems that almost every aspect of farming requires a Consent or Permit. Water supply, effluent disposal, waterway realignment, earthworks and in some parts of New Zealand even fertiliser use. Resource Consents also come with conditions that Council monitor from time to time. Meet ing t ho se Con se nt conditions is an important part of environmental compliance requirements and avoiding consequences of noncompliance, such as fines or court cases. But what do you do if your Consent conditions are no longer practical, or you simply cannot meet them and
that a Council processes is unique with site specific factors. When it comes to farming, each farmer’s needs and methods of operation are different. So, it is not surprising that sometimes when setting Consent conditions Council planners may use specific wording that they consider will protect important resources, but may not realise the practical limitations on the Consent user. For example, there may be specific weather conditions in which water monitoring is required to be carried out, and results provided to Council twice annually. What happens if those particular weather conditions only occur once in a particular year and so the farmer fails to
Resource Management Act (RMA) does allow a Consent holder to seek to vary the conditions of their Consent. Justifiable reasons need to be presented in an application made to the relevant Council. The Consent holder is required to demonstrate that any environmental effects arising from the change in conditions will be no more than minor. This is not an opportunity for Council to reconsider if your Consent is valid. They cannot take away the Consent you already have, or the limits that already exist for your farming operations. The RMA only allows Councils to consider the effect of the proposed change. If any neighbours, or special interest groups, were notified of your original Consent, you need to be aware that any effects on these parties from the changes to Consent conditions will be reconsidered by Council, and additional written approvals may be required to be sought. Given this, a change in conditions may not be the best solution to every Resource Consent condition issue. Nevertheless, if varying your Consent conditions means you can more practically exercise your Consent and avoid consistently failing to meet Consent monitoring requirements, it may be a process worth investing in.

Recognising that her enthusiasm for local government remains strong, former Selwyn District Councillor and Deputy Mayor, Sarah Walters has announced her candidacy for Environment Canterbury (Ecan) in the Mid Canterbury constituency. It is the Regional Council’s first full elections since 2007, bringing the Government appointed roles of April 2010 to an end.
Over her nine years as a councillor (from 2007 to 2016), with the last six as deputy mayor, Sarah was actively involved in many areas, both locally and nationally, but acknowledges that some time away from the Council table has given her time to consider how she could best use her experience in future. “I really enjoyed my time on the Council and the opportunity to work in, and on behalf of, the community, which in turn was a huge support to me. I don’t feel ready to walk away from that yet,” Sarah said. In making the decision to stand for the Regional Council this year, Sarah reflected on her interests and frustrations. “During my time as a district councillor I was very interested in transport and accessibility issues and represented the district on several transport bodies administered by Ecan.
This is an interest I have continued to maintain, as there is so much room for improvement. Another area of concern is the environmental challenges we face and despite Ecan being the first council in New Zealand to declare a climate emergency, there doesn’t seem to be a good understanding of what to do now. I’m also mindful that although the return to full democracy is the beginning of an exciting new era, the result of earlier government actions is a lower level of elected representative experience. I can bring knowledge and experience in these areas," Sarah added. With a background that is both urban and rural, Sarah believes she brings a good mix to minimise conflict, commenting, “we need each other, and we can all work together to be better”.

Annabelle was there over a week, as she worked towards her Gold Duke of Edinburgh award by volunteering her time at Educare. Over the last year Annabelle has volunteered at a variety of community organisations and activities throughout Canterbury and finally finished her required hours at Educare. The children, it was reported, thoroughly enjoyed having her there with them for such an extended period.

During the past weeks, teachers have noticed that some children had displayed a strong interest in music, especially the drums. One child mentioned that they had seen the bagpipes played at a wider community event, and with the drum interest continuing, what better way to incorporate this interest by extending, and supporting, it with the two sisters. Children and staff at Annabel’s were lucky enough to watch Gabrielle perform some highland dancing for both the Nursery and Two Year Old Kindergarten, while Annabelle played the bagpipes. Gabrielle then
accompanied her sister on the drums much to the delight of the children. Both Annabelle and Gabrielle perform within New Zealand competitions in their specialised fields of music and dance. Annabelle also represented her school, for New Zealand, with her bagpipes at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland last year. Annabel’s Educare staff and children thank Annabelle and Gabrielle enormously for coming in and supporting their children's interests and for allowing them to have a turn on their instruments.

When The Hits radio station and their on-air personalities Brodie and Fitzy set about finding the best pie in their ‘Steak and Cheese Challenge’ Malvern always knew some of its muchloved local bakers would feature. And they did! Numerous Steak & Cheese offerings from numerous pie shops were tasted, dissected and discussed by the pair looking for what they felt was the best filling and the best pastry. Scores out of twenty were then given by the two pie-eating judges! Darfield Bakery came in at third place (equal with Café Pret) on 19.3 points. The Hits duo commented that out of the seventeen pies they
Trial commuter bus services in Darfield and Leeston will continue for a further four months, with the Leeston service being extended to include Southbridge from Monday, July 22nd. Environment Canterbury senior manager public transport Stewart Gibbon confirmed that funding has been made available through the Environment Canterbury Annual Plan process to allow the trial services until the end of October. “It’s encouraging to see the strong level of support from the Selwyn community to continue these services. We’re happy to confirm they will continue to be provided on a trial basis, meaning that we are likely to test out different options to see further growth in patronage, particularly for the Leeston service,” he said. Boarding numbers for both services remained relatively steady over recent months, with an average of around 45 boardings per day on the Darfield service and around thirty per day on the Leeston service. Selwyn District Council Mayor Sam Broughton said the Council is pleased with the result, which it supported through a submission to the Annual Plan. “As a Council, we advocated for these buses on behalf of our community. It’s great to see such a good uptake of the

The available funding still only allows for one trip in each direction Monday-Friday for each service. Before the trial services started, the Darfield and Leeston communities were surveyed to determine the most suitable trip times. “As the funding only allows for one trip daily in each direction, it is a difficult balancing act to set trip times that work for everyone who may use the service. The recent steady boarding numbers suggest that the current times are working well for a number of people, so if we were to alter them we would need to make sure that they still worked well for current users,” Stewart said. “A survey we ran with the Darfield passengers in March, Full Service from start to finish! regarding the time of the afternoon service, showed that we were unable to find an alternative that would not reduce the number of current passengers who would use it.” For map and fare information visit: metroinfo.co.nz
tried from around Canterbury, there was not one bad pie amongst them.

Kirwee Bowling Club has been running a winter Euchre series that concluded on July 19th. The chance to test one's skills at cards drew twenty or more people out each Friday. The atmosphere was highly convivial as newcomers to the game scrambled to outplay the old guns! Every session the halftime winner, as well as the final winner, were each awarded a prize, and there was even a consolation gift for the lowest point scorer. The entry fee also provided two chances in the raffle each week, and the
evenings finished with much enjoyed refreshments and social time. The organiser, Jim Brooker, Brooker who generously donated prizes, was very pleased with the outcome of his initiative, as he was hoping that the funds raised would help pay for a new item of machinery for the maintenance of the green. He has revealed that over $1,000 was raised from the six weeks of Euchre. Members of the community who attended were pleased to have something to go out to on a winter evening, and it was
reported their support was much appreciated. Organisers also thank Elaine and her loyal workers who provided all the delicious suppers for those attending. The Bowling Club has made their Clubrooms available for a Kirwee coffee group to meet, following an enquiry from some newcomers to the community about whether such a group existed. The group meets fortnightly and welcomes both new and settled locals to join them.
During the recent school holidays many students from Darfield’s TM Dance World (TMDW) competed in the Christchurch Ballet Society's dance competitions which were held at Villa Maria Collage from July 15th to 19th. TMDW students competed in all genres of dance including jazz, hip hop, lyrical and contemporary. Their dancers took to the stage in all categories, solos, duos, trios and teams and received some fabulous results. The competition was not only a huge event, but also contained classes with a huge number of competitors - some with as many as 25! With numbers like this it makes the TMDW placing results even more impressive. TMDW’s Barnaby Maude had a fantastic competition reported Tara McKeown, McKeown principal of TMDW. “After winning his hip hop, solo, class he was also selected to repeat his solo performance in the champion of champions final class,” Tara said. “Barnaby was awarded the hip hop scholarship at the conclusion of
this class. All our dancers made the Studio very proud and we would like to congratulate everyone involved,” she concluded.

It was pleasing to see so many members exhibiting their flowers and floral art exhibits. The guest speaker was Elizabeth Guthrey from the Te Ara Kākāriki Charitable Trust who gave an insight into the vision of replacing native vegetation to provide a habitat for insects and birds. Schools, corporate groups and the general public planted 20,000 trees in 2018 in the Selwyn area. The Trust works alongside landowners and schools to undertake restoration projects that will one day become stepping stones for a greenway from the mountains to the sea. We were all informed and encouraged to join future projects.
