Six students from Darfield High School have designed and produced a Mental Health Cookbook as part of their year 13 business studies class in conjunction with the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES). YES is an opportunity for students to unleash their inner entrepreneur and experience the start-up business world first hand. It is an experiential programme where students set up and run a real business.

Each YES company creates their own product or service and brings their idea alive. There is $25,000 in national prize money up for grabs as well as

tertiary scholarships. YES students have opportunities to attend national competitions and events and go on overseas trips.

The Thirsty Caravan is a vintage 1985 Oxford caravan that has been lovingly transformed into a boutique pop-up bar and it’s reported that, she really can go anywhere! Anyone planning their wedding? Organising a party? Or celebrating an engagement? What about those up and coming corporate functions that needs that extra something special? The Thirsty Caravan can be just that!

Both owners Hannah Mentink and Brenton Connell brought the Caravan in April this year and both still work full time, seeing The Thirsty Caravan as their side venture. “We are both really busy and The Thirsty Caravan gives us something that we can do together as a couple,” Hannah and Brenton commented enthusiastically.

Hannah has her duty managers license which has been a real bonus for the pair, while Brenton adds jokily, that he has spent a fair amount of time on the other side of the bar which is almost as helpful.

Brenton is a mechanical engineer in Methven and Hannah runs a nannying business, ‘New Zealand Nannies’. The pair are excited to see where The Thirsty Caravan takes them. “We have enjoyed the experience so far

The Thirsty Caravan with owner’s Brenton Connell and Hannah Mentink. It is reported that this vintage1985 Oxford caravan loves to party. and are excited to get the brand out there and start serving drinks,” commented Brenton.

They both agree that so far, they have had a pretty smooth run getting it up and operational. With loads of support from friends and family and they are surrounded by some great business mentors.

“We both enjoy a drink and a bit of banter, and running The Thirsty Caravan you get to see this sort of thing happening in different circles! It’s really fun to be a part of and we just want to help make the event even more enjoyable! It’s great that we can do it together, stressful at times but honestly it’s just great to be doing something different, meeting new people and enjoying each other’s company,” they commented

smiling.

They have received some very positive and encouraging feedback so far. Their first gig was for the Irish Business Network New Zealand and their most recent party was an intimate fiftieth in West Melton where the guests got to enjoy a few cocktails.

So, if anyone is planning an event or function, The Thirsty Caravan is a unique option, offering something a little special and apparently, she loves a good party, and comes fully equipped with everything people would need to serve and impress their guests.

The daughters in Fiddler on the Roof singing the enchanting ‘Matchmaker’ song, wishing for a good match for them in life.

Fiddler on the Roof is set in the early twentieth century, amid huge turmoil occurring in Russia. It tells the story of a simple Jewish family headed by the strong patriarchal figure of ‘Tevye’ played by Dayle Stoliker.

Stoliker The simple life full of traditions and lifelong customs is being challenged as modern ideas and ways find their way into the remote Russian village of Anatevka.

This is a long show, running at over two and a half hours, but there is plenty of action to keep people going, with full cast scenes, monologues and duets. The story unfolds in the village street with the powerful rendition of ‘Tradition’ by the whole cast, followed by the daughters (Lauren Lauren Moore, Moore Izzy Tocker, Tocker Katelyn Knight, Knight Katriel Thomas, Thomas Kate Morris) Morris singing the enchanting ‘Matchmaker’

song, wishing for a good match for them in life.

The show has many comedic moments as well, from the drunken ‘L’Chaim’ with the fabulous Russian dancers, the ‘Dream’ with the haunting, to the argument over chickens at the ‘Wedding’ followed by the amazing Bottle Dance performed by Toby and Ed Stott, Stott George Long, Long Thomas Soper and Brock Cottrell and choreographed by Melody Hoglund.

Hoglund A true highlight is the seventeen piece orchestra conducted by musical director Diane Coad, Coad all snuggled below in the orchestra pit. The sound is amazing and very few societies have the space for an orchestra of this size or to source such talented musicians.

Official production photographer, Rex Coad said,

“he has seen a wonderful growth in all of the members of the cast, right from being photographed for their ID, through to finally performing on the stage. Established seniors through to first-time performers, young and old, all perform their roles with great gusto and confidence.”

The show has been superbly and skilfully directed by Kirwee Life Member - Mabel Knight, Knight who also performed in the original Fiddler, 40 years ago.

She has brought the pages of the script ‘to life’.

Fiddler on the Roof is a musical suitable for young and old alike, with a cast ranging from twelve to over seventy years in age, it has something for everyone.

Don’t miss it!

On Sunday July 21st, Professor John Cookson, Cookson Canterbury University presented the 2019 Canterbury History Foundation Rhodes Medal to Gordon P Dennis, Dennis of Glenroy. The presentation took place at a ceremony at the University of Canterbury.

This award was founded in 1999 to encourage and support research, publication and interest in history within the wider Canterbury region.

Gordon’s award is in recognition of his contributions toward the Hororata Historic Society, the rebuilding of Coton’s Cottage and the establishment of the Hororata Museum. In addition, Gordon was recognised for sharing his knowledge of local

history across the years through meeting with numerous visitors to the Museum and Cottage and in the writing of his

Dental Hygienist, Grace Fischer, Fischer is our newest team member at Darfield Dental. She brings with her a wealth of experience and is no stranger to rural practices, having worked and volunteered in rural settings across New Zealand and Australia. However, in recent months she has moved back to her home town Christchurch to be closer to her family.

Grace said, “Growing up I was fortunate enough to have positive dental experiences, which helped me set up good brushing and flossing habits. I can vividly remember the first time I had my teeth cleaned, as they felt smooth and fresh again

making them easier to clean at home.”

She explains why visiting the hygienist is as important as seeing your dentist: “My job is concerned with ‘preventive’ dental health and treating gum disease - showing you correct home care and helping you to keep your teeth and gums healthy and preventing tooth decay. This can reduce the amount of dental procedures you need in the future and save you money.”

Grace has already received great feedback, one of her

Private Subconscious Therapy (PST) is a three-session therapy that engages the subconscious mind in idenAfying and correcAng long-term unresolved emoAons. These unresolved emoAons are responsible for many of our, mental, emoAonal, physical and relaAonal problems.

Because our subconscious remembers everything that has ever happened to us PST can search the subconscious to locate these unresolved emoAons and begin the process of dissolving them. As these unresolved emoAons melt away a new relaxaAon and peacefulness follows.

How are unresolved emoAons responsible for so much that troubles us?

Unresolved emoAons result in the ‘fight or flight’ mechanism of our brains being parAally jammed open. The effect of this parAal jamming means our natural ability to return to a state of calm is impeded, leaving us in a constant place of semi alarm. Over Ame this leads to exhausAon and also means we are easily triggered into big reacAons by what may seem like small things. If our body/ gut is upset, so is our brain, and neuro science research now understands the connecAon between, neuro transmi=ers in our gut and in our brain. When these unresolved emoAons are released the body/brain can return to a normal healthy balance and clients experience wellness, emoAonally, physically, mentally.

The apparent simplicity of PST belies the enormous power and people oIen report a return to a more relaxed and loving way of being. These results, plus the advantage of being a three-session therapy, limits cost and Ame. Gareon Manler is a cerAfied PST Therapist and holds a degree in Counselling. An assessment for suitability is conducted by Gareon prior to treatment and anyone uncertain about whether their condiAon is treatable is invited to discuss this with no obligaAon or cost.

ideas," said Go Hororata Chair, Craig Blackburn.

Blackburn At the dinner Craig talked about the Hororata Community Centre project. Go Hororata, together with the Selwyn Council is working to develop a ten year master plan for the Hororata Domain, which will include placement and concept design of the Hororata Community Centre. Mid-July Hamish Shaw Architects and Canopy Landscapes were appointed to carry out the planning and

design phase of the project.

There will be opportunities for the wider community to be involved in this process as it continues. By October this year, they aim to have the master plan and concept designs for the community centre complete. This is exciting as this will be the first time people will be able to visualise this project.

Go Hororata would like to thank everyone who supported this event.

Keith Hay Homes, New Zealand’s leading prefabricated transportable new home specialist, was founded in 1938 by the late Keith Hay at the age of twenty one. Built on a solid foundation of hard work, integrity, honesty and innovation - after eighty years Keith Hay Homes is still going strong and aims to continue shaping the future of New Zealand’s transportable home building industry.

The Christchurch branch alone first opened in 1972 providing quality homes to families in Canterbury ever since. They understand housing needs in the region so if people are looking for a home for their farm, they don’t need to look any further. Plans have been designed especially with inclusions such as wet areas, freezer space, covered porches and above standard insulation.

Whether it is a family home, managers home or single man’s quarters for staff then they have a plan that will suit.

Leigh Gibbs, Gibbs Branch Manager Christchurch, noted that the

Friday 2nd August 2019

company had seen farmers moving to acquire larger homes for its workers and top of the range houses for their managers. "They are looking at the going rate for a good manager, and rather than trying to pay above the market rate they are trying to attract top people by providing better houses,” he said. “And that improves the value of the farm as well. Having a brand new healthy, warm home is of course going to attract good workers.” Anyone needing a home in a hurry can also take advantage of the Company’s selection of pre-built homes ready to transport to section or farm.

Keith Hay Homes makes the building process easy and can handle the whole project from start to finish. Homes are transported ready to site just to be hooked up to the utilities meaning land can be used right up till the last minute with no health and safety, fencing or stock issues to deal with.

People can be sure that when they build with Keith Hay Homes

that their investment is safe.

Every home is built to a fixed price contract and comes complete with a Managing Directors Personal Guarantee.

People can trust them to deliver!

See advertisement in this issue for further details.

He transformed construction in New Zealand by fighting to make building with native pine permissible, replacing expensive imported timbers and relatively scarce native timbers.

The world of truffles has always been wrapped in a haze of mystique. Tresillian Truffles based in West Melton, is one of the largest Bianchetto White truffiere’s in New Zealand.

Tresillian Truffles is located in West Melton on the site of what started as the Tresillian sheep run in 1851. The light sandy free draining soils made it challenging for growing pasture, but is perfect for the Bianchetto truffle. Prior to the truffles being planted in 2003, testing showed that the existing PH was 5.9, so twenty tonnes of lime was spread on the block (1.5 hectares) to raise the PH to optimum PH of 7. Tresillian Truffles is owned and operated by the Williams family who have been in the district for fifteen years. They purchased the property three years ago and discovered that truffles were being formed on the roots of the trees.

All the family have achieved their apprenticeship in pruning, with Stephen swinging on the end of a chain saw and Lisa, Lisa Sarah (15) and Samantha (17) very handy with the loppers cutting out seven meter long suckers from the hazelnuts. As everyone has been so actively involved with the development of the truffiere they are all able to support each other in the different aspects of the business. This includes having turns being the truffilio (finding th e tr uff le s ), cl e an i ng, packaging the truffles, and developing products.

The Williams family were proud to be actively involved in the fifth Canterbury Truffle Festival this year where Canterbury’s truffle growers, chefs, restaurants and top wineries come together to create amazing dishes paired with exceptional wines. The festival ran from July 13th to 28th, the peak time of the Bianchetto White Truffle season.

The truffle has been described as the fungus that is worth more than gold. Tresillian Truffles Bianchetto (Tuber Borchii) truffles are nurtured carefully in optimum conditions on the roots of their oak, hazel nut and pine nut trees which have been inoculated with truffle spores. The shape is globose, and very uneven, with pale yellow or ochre coloured skin.

It varies from the size of a pea through to the size of an egg.

Traditionally truffles were harvested by female pigs, however the Italian truffilio would often lose their fingers as they retrieved the truffles from the ground. Today, people use dogs which is a lot safer. The Williams family Sprocker Spaniel dog, Bess is a truffle finding machine. She is able to detect the earthy aroma which the truffle releases within the soil.

She is extremely clever as she distinguishes which truffles are ripe (mature) by the intensity of the aroma.

To ensure the quality of Tresillian Truffles their truffiere is spray free, using ducks to reduce their insect and bug population throughout the truffiere. The ducks are also amazing lawn mowers and keep the grass at a manageable length. This is important as they cannot mow prior to harvesting the truffles as it can cut and damage the truffles that are close to the surface.

The Williams are dedicated to providing an exclusive truffle

experience. Priding themselves by selling premium fresh Bianchetto truffles and innovative Bianchetto products.

During the Bianchetto season June through to September, they also provide many other options for people to enjoy Tresillian Truffles.

To fix it, or sell it - that is the question?

At Darfield Automotive we get asked all the time for advice, like, how to invest in the share market, when is the best time of year to prune roses, how to bake the perfect scone? All of course we know very little about, but we also get asked a few automotive questions.

One question that has come up a bit lately is: “What car should I buy?”

Before I answer can I say that every single vehicle out there has its ‘thing’. The ‘thing’ that goes wrong with it. There are also absolutely no vehicles that are free from servicing, WOF’s and general wear and tear.

Some models may last longer than others, but if you own a vehicle, you have to spend money to keep it going. Also every single vehicle depreciates in value the more you use it.

Even if you don’t use it, things still deteriorate with age. Keep those points in mind as we move on.

2. I’m getting a 2nd, 3rd, extra car, i.e. increasing your personal fleet, or 3. I’m looking for something more fuel efficient and want to downsize,

up a car for $1,000. But is it safe, how long is it going to last, has it got a WOF? 2. A little. 2K–10K. As previously stated, try and Then please skip to the next purchase a newer vehicle paragraph! than your last, either 4. The repair costs, or running privately, or from a car yard. cost of my vehicle are adding 3. A bit more. 10k–50k. Look up? This can be an awkward for a vehicle that is just out subject and there are many of new car warranty. 3-5 conclusions. Once the vehicle years old. They have lost the gets to a stage where the biggest part of deprecation repairs are near to the same and can be really good value of the car you do have buying, look for low kms if a tough choice. But I’d refer possible you back to my first For all the above I would insist statement. Every vehicle wears out and every vehicle on a good pre-purchase check.

Take the vehicle for a road test has its ‘thing’, so generally and organise to have your own once you have repaired, or mechanic check it over for you. replaced the ‘thing’, you won’t have to replace it again Your mechanic will take it for a for a long time. Take that into road test and lift it on a hoist to consideration, because if you give you an idea of the vehicle’s current condition. At Darfield decide to change vehicles, the new vehicle you purchase Automotive we don’t charge our existing customers for these may need its ‘thing’ done checks. We don’t have a crystal So here is my advice: soon. A wise old mechanic The first question is: “Why are once told me years ago, “it is ball but will give you an honest opinion. Please, please, please you looking?” better the devil you know, don’t pay for the vehicle and There are many answers to this than the devil you don’t”. If so I’ll cover the most common. you know what’s wrong with get us to do a post-purchase check. It’s too late then!

1. My old car was involved in a your current vehicle, then crash,… ouch, I hope you’re why go out and buy someone 4. A lot. 50k plus. Lucky you. ok, or else’s problems.

Consider the previous So you need a new car. Before mentioned vehicle specs, but we move on, a few things to also warranty periods, consider when you buy a new service programmes and vehicle. If you can, try and costs involved.

move up a class and buy a nicer vehicle than your last.

As newer vehicles are normally safer and more fuel efficient than older models.

Also think of what you need in a vehicle, boot space, leg room, room for kids as they grow, two seats or nine seats, vehicle access - is it easy to get into and out of, or if you need 4WD, towing capacity.

Generally speaking. Sensible boring cars are the most reliable and will have a better reselling price. Always complete a pre-purchase check and ask us for advice. Good luck and happy shopping.

Macca, Janelle & the team at Darfield Automotive.

Once you decide what vehicle you want ask yourself, “how much can I afford”?

ADVERT PAYMENTS

1. Not much. Less than $2,000 Then I’d recommend you consider keeping your ‘old devil’, if possible. If that isn’t an option then tread very carefully. Look around on buy/sell sites to try and grab a bargain, often you can pick

That was certainly the case at Kirwee Model School (KMS) during the school holidays when the Friends of KMS organised a playground working bee.

The Friends group had put in months of fundraising, planning and preparation leading up to the day. This hard work was recognised by the amazing turn out of KMS families, friends and local businesses who came along, and by the organised

chaos of adults, children, wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes, diggers, tractors and trucks.

Not only was it fantastic to be a part of such a fun, productive day, it was also great to know we were creating something that our students will enjoy for years to come.

There were many excited faces as the children and their whānau arrived at school on the first day of the term. Comments

Page 11

such as, “this is fantastic!” and “cool” were heard. Children eagerly waited for their break times so they could head off and explore the new and exciting spaces that had been created.

Amazingly, this is just phase one of the playground revamp (albeit a very big part!) and the Friends of KMS still have a few more surprises to come.

On behalf of the School and the Board of Trustees, I’d like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who came to lend a hand and a special mention to the businesses who gave their time, resources and expertise.

Local Greendale writer Sandra Arnold, Mākaro Press and Arnold Scorpio Books warmly invite people to celebrate the release of, ‘The Ash, the Well and the Bluebell’.

Losing her daughter to the Christchurch earthquake sends Lily back to her childhood village in Northern England to scatter Charlie's ashes. It's a place of ghosts for Lily after the mysterious drowning of a school friend at the old village well - a tragedy somehow linked to the death of a local woman accused of witchcraft three hundred years earlier.

Now Lily's back, she wants to find out what happened at the well and the truth behind the swift departure of her friend Israel.

Israel The Ash, the Well and the Bluebell spans three centuries

and three countries, exploring the love and history that makes a community, and the hate and secrets that can destroy it. The book will be launched by Fiona Farrell.

Darfield played Southbridge in the Division 1 final for the Coleman Shield at Prebbleton on Saturday, July 27th. It was a closely played game with Southbridge narrowly take the win 16 - 12. There were many action packed moments throughout the game with the final five minutes being the biggest influence on who won the final.

Southbridge scored the first points on the board in the eleventh minute, but a surging counterattack from Darfield’s Brent Dalley saw Darfield hot on attack which lead to Sheldon Reed scoring. At the twenty six minute mark the teams were tided, 5-all, for the remainder of the first half there was a strong battle at halfway with no further points added to the score board.

The second half didn’t get off to a great start for Darfield with them putting the kick-off out on the full and then they had to produce some strong defence to try and shut Southbridge down. The pressure was building for both sides and with a third penalty in the passage of play saw Darfield opt for a tap which allowed Scott McIlroy to score a try with the help of his brother Blair driving him over the line, the conversion was converted by Sean Carston.

Carston The lead didn’t last long with Southbridge fighting back. A few things didn’t go Darfield’s way and Southbridge capitalised on this taking the win narrowly from Darfield. A tough close game for both teams in an exciting action packed final.

The West Melton U14.5 team also played in their finals on the weekend against Lincoln competing for the RT McMillan Shield. The West Melton team came away with the win, beating Lincoln 87 - 10.

“Well done to the team, coaches, management, parents and supporters - a great way to finish the season,” said a spokesperson from the West Melton Rugby Club.

The West Melton team have had an amazing season remaining unbeaten. What a fabulous achievement for this team.

Congratulations from the team at the News.

The submitted films for the ‘Focus for Future’ Selwyn Environmental Short Film Awards must be in by the end of August.

These awards are organised and hosted by Lincoln Envirotown.

Previous years have always seen film teams busy with their productions during the month of August and last year no fewer than nineteen short films were produced for this thought provoking and enjoyable competition. The Awards will be presented mid September at the Lincoln Event Centre. At this presentation the films are viewed and it is always an ‘Oscar’ like occasion.

Category Awards ranging from Kindergarten to adult entries are given with an overall prize which last year went to a Lincoln High School team.

“The age of phone cameras has meant that we can all be film producers and actors and we encourage everyone to think of

an Environmental issue of interest and concern to them, and showcase it with a short film,” commented Dave Fitzjohn Project Manager Lincoln Envirotown. Last year six of the films were independent entries.

A variety of films are produced ranging from video, animation, acted, real, serious or humorous.

Or just untidy!

The independent panel look forward to viewing the films and welcoming teams to the Awards in September.

FOR ALL YOUR ENGINEERING ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS ‘No job too big or too small!’

Local shooter Ben Sharp competed in the South Island Secondary School Clay Target Championships on Saturday, July 6th in Invercargill. Ben competed along with over two hundred other students from about twenty six secondary schools from all around New Zealand.

The event was hosted by the Southland Clay Target Club, “what a day it was! a perfectly still day with not a cloud in the sky (yes it was in Invercargill!),” commented Ben’s Dad Johnny Sharp.

Sharp With an 8:30am start and perfect conditions it was reported that the air was full of excitement.

First match of the day for the South Island Championships was Skeet. Skeet shooting is a recreational and competitive activity where participants, using shotguns, attempt to break clay targets mechanically flung into the air from two fixed stations at high speed from a variety of angle.

Next on the cards was the 20 target Single Rise match (20 targets at which each shooter has two shots at each target), Ben along with ten other

targets) to qualify for the final shoot off.

Following Single Rise was the Points Score match, (3 points for a break, 2 points for a break with the second barrel and no points for a miss).

Ben shot a near perfect score

placing shoot off as the event had been won outright with a single perfect 60/60 score by Harry Green of St Andrews College.

The final match of the Championship was Single Barrel, a 10 Target round with only a single shot at each target. Nine shooters along with Ben shot a possible (all targets) and qualified for the shoot off.

The Shoot offs commenced and Ben was beaten early in both the Point Score and Single Barrel events.

Distraction could easily have been blamed at this stage of the day, as the results on the scoreboard were available for all to see and people could work out who had won the much revered High Over All (HOA) for the day. Rumours had quickly made there way to Ben that he had taken out the HOA outright. The High Over All rewards the most consistent shooter who scores well in all disciplines of the Championship.

The ensuing smile had come at a cost after failing to fire in the last two shoot offs, but after regathering his concentration Ben went on to win the Single Rise shoot off after a lengthy 109 Targets! and with it the South Island Championship title.

The prize giving soon confirmed the rumours, that Ben had indeed won the HOA, successfully defending his 2018 title and on top of that Ben was only the second student to do this in the Secondary School Clay Target Shooting Championship’s nineteen year history!

“A very enjoyable and successful weekend,” concluded Johnny. Ben would like to thank his coach and the Southland Clay Target Club for a well run event and all the generous sponsors for supporting the Championship.

Do you drink beer?

Yes. How many beers a day?

Usually about three.

How much do you pay per beer? $5 which includes a tip.

And how long have you been drinking?

About twenty years, I suppose.

So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be approx. $5,400?

Man: Correct.

Woman: If in one year you spend $5400., not accounting for inflation, the past twenty years puts your spending at $108,000. correct?

Man: Correct Woman: Do you know that if you didn't drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past twenty years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?

Man: Do you drink beer?

Woman: No. Man: So where's your Ferrari?
