Local motocross rider Tobi Moore was understandably very proud (as were his parents and family), when he came away with a deserved win following his weekend’s Off -Road Canterbury Champs racing event. Tobi raced in the Junior 8-11 years, 85/150cc class, at the 2019 Canterbury Championships, which took place in Southbridge, on August 10th - 11th.

“Tobi raced really well in wet, muddy conditions,” commented his mum Vanessa Moore.

Moore “On day one (Saturday) he competed in a practice round followed by two races. He emerged with wins in the practice and one race, followed by second place in the other race. The extreme weather conditions caused the cancellation of Saturday’s race three,” Vanessa explained.

The wet and muddy conditions saw the track altered to accommodate Sunday’s racing agenda. The conditions didn’t

Above: A great example of the fun to be had at the 2019 Sheffield Volunteer Fire brigade Mud Plug.

The Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade will once again run its fundraising Mud Plug, and this is planned to take place on Sunday, September 1st (Father’s Day). The bad weather postponement day is Sunday, September 8th. The Mud Plug course is set-up on Derek Bull’s Bull farm, Main West Road, Sheffield and organisers report that competitors come from both ends of the Island to compete in this action-packed event. An event that has been running for twenty one years and getting bigger each time it’s staged. The Mud Plug attracts a record number of spectators, along with a full

complement of competitors.

Organisers limit the number of entrants to forty five vehicles and have been told by those who frequent events such as this, that Sheffield’s is one of the biggest spectator attended Mud Plugs, in the South Island.

Spectators are well catered for with trade stalls, food outlets (operated by Sheffield School and Malvern Lions), along with lunch-break entertainment, to keep everyone happy.

For anyone who hasn’t previously attended this particular Mud Plug, organisers explain that the course is made up of several, varied, hazards.

Competitors must get through these without losing forward motion. If a vehicle gets stuck it’s the passenger’s job to getout, and then connect a rope to the rescue tractor, so they can be pulled free.

Entertainment in itself!

The event offers two classes for entry; Modified and Open.

“Most vehicles attending the Mud Plug will have been modified,” explained Sheffield Fire Chief, Nev Croy.

Croy “Some will have been built solely for this sort of event and cost their owners thousands of dollars.

All vehicles competing are scrutineered to make sure they comply with the high safety standards required,” Nev

added. “We do run the event as a fun day and every competitor collects a prize,” he said.

The Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade thank all those that have been involved with this very successful event over the years. “We really hope 2019’s Mud Plug will be just as successful, safe and fun as those in the past,” Nev commented.

Organisers acknowledge the time and effort a number of people have put into helping run this event, especially the tractor and excavator owners, marshals, gate personnel, score tellers, St John Ambulance and the course organisers Rob Carter and Dave Taylor.

Taylor “This event just wouldn’t be possible had it not been for the generosity of Derek Bull, allowing us to use his land,” Nev added.

Organisers appreciate the public support they receive and point out that it’s the ideal Father’s Day treat for all those Dads and grandfathers, plus their families out there.

“This year funds raised will be used to upgrade the Brigade’s support vehicle,” Nev concluded.

Wow! Soul Jam Holistic and Spiritual Expo, held for the first time in Darfield (August 3rd4th) was an amazing event again this year! The continuing interest in this event, held in the Darfield Recreation Centre (previously held in West Melton) highlights the need felt within the community for complementary and natural therapies, along with the desire for improved health and wellbeing.

The new location of the expo offered plenty of space for both practitioners and the public to move around freely. The atmosphere was warm, inviting

and exciting, with many visitors commenting on it. For some it was their first time at such an event and they were fascinated by some of the modalities offered. Others, who had attended similar events before, commented on the ‘feel’ of the Expo and the high standard of practitioners. It was wonderful to see everyone with a smile on their faces when they left.

The majority of our practitioners are local (from Sheffield, Darfield and Kirwee) with others from Dunsandel, Prebbleton, Tai Tapu, and everywhere in between! They were joined by a few invited guests. There are

Page 3

now a large number of practitioners within the District and not enough room for them all!

It is wonderful to see the public’s growing interest, willingness to receive treatments, and their keenness to try something different to help heal their ailments. For many it was their first experience with some of the modalities and all were pleased with the results of their sessions. Free talks and demonstrations ran throughout each day and were well attended, giving an extra opportunity to learn something new. It was great to have an animal communicator this year, offering sage advice in regard to the animals we share our lives with.

As always Rainbowlily was a huge hit with her face painting.

Many children and adults had their faces adorned - which was not hard to understand when you saw the quality of her amazing work.

Soul Jam was a fabulous event and the practitioners and public cannot be thanked enough for bringing it all together in such a way (it is, after all, a partnership between both). It was wonderful to see everyone become so uplifted and inspired.

SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF! STUFF! In the excitement of buying your first home, people need to factor in several additional costs over and above the mortgage repayments, such as rates, a maintenance fund, and dwelling insurance. But just as important as the insurance to cover your home, is the insurance to cover yourself. At the very least people need to cover their mortgage repayments so that if they are unable to earn, due to accident, or illness, then they can rest easy that the bank will be happy knowing the mortgage repayments will still be made.

There are various ways to cover your risk and people need to factor this expense in when doing their budget. Health insurance is also a consideration; if the mortgage holders occupation is such that income protection is very high, then health insurance may be the way to go to get back on the job and earning again, quickly.

Total and Permanent Disablement cover ‘own occupation’ is also an affordable option which will give people a lump sum payment if they are deemed to be unable to resume the occupation in which they are educated, trained and experienced in and were working in, immediately prior to their disablement.

Call your trusted financial advisor to discuss your options but don’t leave it too late!

Tai Dixon; real passion for helping people.

beginning of June. Tai had spent her working life supporting underprivileged women but her passion was to help and assist women and their families grieving from a stillbirth.

The group are hoping to continue their friend’s legacy by raising funds to set up a trust in Tai’s name. The women are currently training hard with the goal of running in the Dunedin Marathon on September 1st to fundraise for the Trust. The group commented that running had helped them all deal with some of the grief following their friend’s death.

“Tai was passionate about helping others, whether it be in a time of grief, through a difficult time, or just if you needed a chat after a bad day,” said Liz Spence one of the fundraising group of friends.

“She would always make time for you. Tai was fun, outgoing,

adored her children and loved spending time with her family and friends. She had a trip planned in July back to the UK to visit her family which she was so excited about,” Liz added.

Tai’s family have received a lot of support from the Darfield community since her passing and her husband Scott commented that this had restored his faith in humanity.

About one in two hundred pregnancies ends in a stillbirth (losing a baby after the first twenty weeks). Death before twenty weeks is considered a miscarriage, which is deemed ‘fairly common’ - one or two out of every ten pregnant women miscarry.

Christchurch-based Lamb & Hayward has become the first funeral director to achieve Consumer NZ’s Consumer Trusted accreditation.

Locally owned and operated, Lamb & Hayward has provided funeral services in Canterbury since 1923 and has a significant presence in the region. The company operates three chapels and is the first and only CarboNZero-certified funeral director in New Zealand.

Lamb & Hayward had to meet strict requirements to achieve Consumer Trusted status Consumer NZ general manager - business Derek Bonnar said.

“During our assessment, it was clear Lamb & Hayward provided a positive experience for its customers. This is especially important during the funeral process, as families are dealing with high emotions and grief,” he added.

“Our Consumer Trusted accreditation is purposely difficult to achieve. We only aw ar d bu s i ne s s e s t h at consistently deliver a quality service for consumers, going beyond that which the law demands.”

In 2015, Consumer NZ developed its Trusted programme to recognise

L to R: Lamb & Hayward group operations manager, Craig Mennie; Consumer NZ general manager - business, Derek Bonnar; Lamb & Hayward chief executive, Stephen Parkyn. businesses that met the consumer watchdog’s strict code of conduct. This code ensures accredited businesses provide exceptional customer service, and exceed the requirements of the Fair Trading Act, Consumer Guarantees Act and other consumer-related laws.

“We carry out detailed mystery shopping as part of our assessment. This includes how staff treat customers and what information customers are given about their rights if something goes wrong,” Derek said.

Lamb & Hayward Group chief executive Stephen Parkyn was delighted the business had the honour of being the first funeral home to have achieved a

Consumer Trusted accreditation.

“As a proudly Canterburyowned business which has been engaged in the community for nearly one hundred years, our company foundations are firmly set in reliability and trustworthiness. Our intention is to continue to provide leadership within our profession so that our client families not only receive excellent care, but are guaranteed price transparency and consumer protection,” Stephen said.

The Malvern Squash Club Championships took place on July, 31st and were reported to be much enjoyed. The camaraderie-filled event was rich with action and entertainment, it was reported.

The Open Men’s finalists were David Topham and Dan Frampton, Frampton with Dan taking the win. Unfortunately there were no women playing, so the women’s cups remain at the Club. It was commented upon that the Malvern Squash Club rooms are a credit to the committee and were a huge asset to the area.

In November 1971 authorisation was granted for the Malvern Squash Club to use part of the Coleman land for the site of the Courts. The Squash initiative came about after a concerted drive by the late Dr Denis Eason and Jim Duncan and were constructed in 1974.

The facility would form the cornerstone of the Recreation and Social Centre, which was built alongside five years later.

Initially there were only two courts and players had to negotiate wires surrounding rugby fields, and potholes, to venture to the Domain toilets, some dark, distance away! The addition of the shower and toilet block was understandably a major achievement. There have been ongoing upgrades to the facility recently which have included, lining between the courts, along with lighting and heating upgrades. Squash Interclub matches are played on Monday evenings and Junior Squash is scheduled on Wednesday afternoons.

Activities days are held from time to time with local schools and the Club also gets involved with fun days.

The Club appreciates the need to increase, in particular women and junior, participation. As a result of the continued support of a number of local businesses along with some other initiatives the Club is no longer in the constrained financial position that they have been, on occasion, in the past. This enables them to offer reductions in subscriptions to those wishing to try

Still working through some of the items of interest in old newspapers and periodicals loaned to the News by exSheffield farmer and now Darfield resident Alistair Adams there were a few gems hidden amongst them.

The publications ranged in age from 1906 until just before World War II in 1939, and had been saved by Alistair’s predecessors because they covered stock auctions of interest, Show results and clearing sales etc.

In 2005 the Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade purchased a Defibrillator with money raised from their Mud Plug and Wings and Wheels events. Back then a defibrillator was not part of the New Zealand Fire Service’s standard equipment. The Fire Service have now supplied all Fire Brigades in New Zealand with defibrillators making the one Sheffield purchased in 2005, surplus to their requirements.

After a Brigade meeting and a discussion with the Malvern

Branch of St John, the Sheffield Brigade decided to donate the old defibrillator to the Sheffield Community.

“As the Famous Sheffield Pie Shop is staffed for most of the day, they were the obvious choice to store it, for general public use,” explained Sheffield Fire Brigade's Fire Chief, Nev Croy.

Croy Following a joint effort by both the Fire Brigade and Malvern St John, staff at the Pie Shop have now been trained on how to use this life-

saving piece of equipment.

“This donation has only been made possible because the Malvern branch of St John have agreed to pay for the ongoing servicing costs,” Nev added.

“The Sheffield unit is now part of a network of fifteen AED defibrillators in the wider Malvern Community, with more in the pipeline,” he said.

“The Officers and members of the Sheffield Fire Brigade acknowledge and thank the Malvern Branch of St John for doing this,” Nev finished.

L to R: Ross Meder (Malvern St John), Sarah McGrath (Manager of the World Famous Sheffield Pie Shop), Neville Croy (Chief Fire Officer of the Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade).

Selwyn District Council has moved to support parents who wish to represent the region by covering extra childcare costs for Councillors and Community Board members.

The Council voted unanimously at Wednesday’s, July 10th Council meeting, to reimburse Councillors when they have pay for childcare in order to attend meetings for Council work, or events where they are representing the Council.

Mayor Sam Broughton said having a family shouldn’t be a barrier to representing your community and the policy is an opportunity to open up Council to new members.

“We live in a district where half the population is under forty and we’ve got a large number of young families. It’s important that young families are represented around the Council

table when we’re making decisions and this is a great way of making that a little bit easier,” Sam added.

The policy follows the guidelines for councils to consider paying back childcare that are set out in the new Local Government Members (2019/2020) Determination 2019 law, which came into effect on July 1st.

The Council’s decision, which came into immediate effect, means a Councillor or Community Board member can claim back up to $6,000 a year plus GST, to cover the cost of childcare by someone who isn’t family to look after a child under fourteen years old, in order for them to attend meetings or events on behalf of the Council.

The policy will be reviewed annually and is expected to cost Council $20-25,000 a year.

Council Chief Executive David

Ward said the move reflects the busy nature of serving the community.

“Being an elected member means you’re on call at any time for meetings and events. The policy reflects that elected members can be called out at all hours for their work. We want good people to be able to serve their community and it is an opportunity to help more people to be able to do that,” David concluded.

Best to Start Early! consent from your local Council. delays of Council refusing to

By Anna Mackenzie, Senior Planner, Baseline Group.

Time is a precious commodity that few of us fully appreciate until it is too late. When it comes to the Resource Management Act (the Act), trying to get anything processed takes time. Time to design a project, prepare an application, lodge it with your local Council, respond to any Council requests, and obtain a consent.

You may have big plans for this spring, or summer, to sort out that creek in the bottom paddock that floods every year, get some gravel out of the river, sort out that water-take for irrigation, or any array of other farming practices which may require a resource

It might be down at the bach, or around the home, where you want to extend a jetty, add-on to the house, or deck, or put in a new track, or driveway. Even though you will not have to do any physical works on the ground until much later in the year, now is the optimum time to engage your experts, get the design work done and get consents from Council.

The requirements of the Act mean that a certain level of detail is required for any application which goes to Council, and if insufficient information is provided Council have to refuse to process the application. Appropriate architectural, engineering and planning work to design your project and prepare an application will avoid time

process an application.

Once lodged with Council, the Act provides twenty working days for an application to be processed. During this month Council may stop the clock to seek further information which may cause time delays. If for some reason council is obliged to notify the application, another two to three months can go by during a hearing process. All of this can add to your frustrations if you are wanting to proceed with works on a project over summer.

Worst of all the window of fine weather may pass, meaning you have to wait until next year before you can finally get the digger out.

By starting these projects now, you can avoid the frustration and cost of time delays over summer. Winter is an excellent time of the year to stay warm inside and sort out your paperwork, design your project and get consents from Council ready for the summer months. So my advice is act now and be prepared for action before summer even begins.

In 2019, up to six scholarships of up to $3,000 each will be available for students from Darfield High School, Ellesmere College and Lincoln High School who have achieved outstanding success in academic, sports, cultural, arts, social responsibility, or other areas.

Those who have overcome barriers, or hardships, to achieve are also encouraged to apply.

From 2020 the scholarship will also be open to students from Rolleston College.

The scholarship will provide payment towards fees and costs associated with the purchase of books and equipment required for the study, or training, on a full-time course of study or training.

Council Community Services and Facilities Group Manager Denise Kidd said the scholarships are

intended to help local young people pursue their dreams.

“The Council recognises that in Selwyn district it benefits all of us when we encourage the outstanding young people we have. These scholarships are not limited to academic achievements, but are also open to supporting local senior students who have achieved success in sports, culture, arts p u r s u it s o r w h o h av e represented us well, despite the obstacles in their way.”

Scholarship applicants will be able to include a statement of support from a teacher, or coach, from their school, or from a person outside school who is relevant to their application, such as a regional, or national, coach.

Applications close at the end of September and shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend an interview as part of the selection process. The Council will also liaise directly with local secondary schools before making its final decision.

The successful applicants are expected to be announced at the e nd-of-yea r schoo l prizegiving awards.

A new library service bringing popular programmes and resources to those who don’t have easy access to a library had its first recently.

Residents of Castle Hill and Arthur’s Pass were the first to try out the Selwyn District Council’s new Edge Connector service in its specially kitted out vehicle - with Windwhistle School soon after.

The service is designed to bring

targeted library resources, programmes and services to communities, schools, preschools and community groups that are not within easy reach of one of the district’s four libraries. The Edge Connector’s main focus is on those outlying communities at least fifteen kilometres from a library.

Community Services and Facilities Group Manager, Denise Kidd, Kidd commented that

MY COMPUTER DOESN’T TALK TO THE PRINTER! “I pushed the print bu/on seven :mes and it’s s:ll not prin:ng.”

Sorry - but it doesn’t help to push it more :mes!

If you think of it as a funnel with the first print job you sent not going through, then the other six :mes that you push it are like a log jam behind it; if the first one won’t go through, then neither will the other six!

Go into Control Panel then Devices and Printers. Double click your printer and it should open up with,

If there is anything under Document Name delete it. AGer that check further down where underneath Printers it expands the printer that you double clicked and says whether it is good (green :ck) or worse off line. If it says off line just check to make sure its turned on, but if it is then delete your printer.

Go to Control Panel/Programmes and Features and look for anything that has the name of your printer on it.

Delete each one of these items and when they are all gone restart your PC. At that :me take out the cable from the computer to the printer at either end if there is one.

Time to re-install again. Take the DVD that came with the printer when you got it and put it into the DVD drive. Start the setup install program and choose the method of connec:on. USB is the cable between your computer and the printer and Wi-Fi is the wireless connec:on. Once you choose this if you do use the cable the setup programme will tell you when to connect the cable, or if Wi-Fi is the chosen one it will install that op:on.

Once installed your printer will be back.

the service had been designed to be cost effective, efficient and flexible in what it provides, so it can bring things the whole community want, but would otherwise be difficult to access.

“We want to make sure those communities across the district, without easy access to a physical library, have similar opportunities to others, whether that’s through education on our online resources, or bringing a specific programme that caters to a group of residents of the particular community.”

It is expected regular visits to communities such as Windwhist le, Springfi eld, Dunsandel, Southbridge, Hororata, Greendale, Glentunnel and Sheffield will be scheduled over the coming weeks. Other visits are being planned as the service assesses the needs, and interest levels, in particular communities, and continues to work on logi stics a nd opportunities.

The Edge Connector is fitted with wifi, computers, and a touch-screen online catalogue, as well as a printer and scanner. It will bring a selection of books, magazines and DVDs, along with tech kits with equipment that can include microscopes, telescopes, robotic kits and entry level VR equipment, which can be browsed or borrowed. It will also be able to carry resources such as a 3D printer and sewing machines to allow for specific programmes.

The newly purchased Edge Connector vehicle has a focus on cost effectiveness and environmental sustainability with the electronics powered by two auxiliary batteries that charge while the van drives, or are powered by a specially fitted solar panel on the roof. It also has low energy LED lighting. It accommodates specially-made furniture to provide maximum space including reading spots for children and adults, along with storage.

The Wifi on board is provided via the Aotearoa People’s Network Kaharoa (APNK), which is part of the National Library of New Zealand, Department of Internal Affairs. This partnership brings free Internet services to public libraries throughout New Zealand. This is the first time APNK has trialled a mobile service in New Zealand.

The Sportstart games focussed on invasion games, developing players awareness of space, moving through it, moving into others territories and working together as a team. Player, Yannick commented that,

"Dodgeball was my favourite but we learnt lots of fun new games."

Chaos was another game played; it encompassed a multitude of skills and other sports all wrapped into one.

Football, dodgeball, netball, baseball and some serious strategic thinking!
