To Sam, Jenny and Bob on their endorsement by voters to represent them on our Council for the next three years.

Also a big THANK YOU to those who chose me, (although unsuccessfully) to represent them on Council.

To the people of Hororata you will now be able to take comfort that all three successful candidates pledged to give priority to resolving your flooding problems.

The combined effort of these three people will be far more effective than I have been on my own in the past.

Bill Woods, Springfield.

David from Darfield Dental wishes to advise the community that he is still out of action, and asks clients to please take up the opportunity to see Rebekah & Julia at the practice for yearly check-ups.

He has noticed as he has been waiting to get clearance to go back to work, that the routine visits have not been acted on, and wishes to invite his loyal regular patients to see the other Dentists available in the short term.

They are supported by Grace for hygiene needs, so all requirements will be covered in his absence by the rest of the fully qualified team.

I’m grateful for the support of the District through the election and am excited to continue to lead our Council for the next three years.

We have three new councillors joining us and my first priority is to meet with, and support them, as they learn the processes, relationships, and timing to fulfil their role successfully. Having Jenny Gallagher and Bob Mugford elected for Malvern gives the community experienced voices at the Council table from two people w i t h s t r on g co m m u n i ty connections and hearts, to contribute for Malvern.

It was good to talk with so many people through the election process and hear feedback on our progress so far.

As well as the completion of current projects there are a couple of areas I will be

particularly focussed on in the next few months including submissions to the government about changes in fresh water rules, funding for our road maintenance, communication improvements, and lifting support for tourism where Malvern already has a number of very good providers.

The preliminary local election results include all ordinary votes received and counted, but not all special votes. Official results,

with all ordinary votes and all special votes counted, were to be released by Thursday, October 17th.

The Malvern Cancer Support Group is the longest running support group in the Cancer Society's Canterbury/West Coast Division. This November sees them celebrate their 36th year in operation, with a timely fundraiser in their aid at the Malvern Country Fete on November 3rd.

“We are a group of locals, supporting locals who have been diagnosed with cancer,” explained Malvern Cancer Support Group spokesperson, Elaine Guy. Guy “The Group is made up of volunteers who help where they can, and when they can, and with a variety of tasks,” she said. “This dedicated group of people ferry rural cancer patients to appointments, deliver meals and baking,

provide companionship and help raise awareness of a disease that affects one in three New Zealanders. We are currently preparing for the Malvern Country Fete fundraising event in early November where we will provide Devonshire morning teas and run a raffle at the Recreation Centre. Many hands make light work, so everybody tries to fit in

On Thursday, October 31st the Hororata Golf Clubrooms will reverberate with laughter when they present the Sir Tim Shadbolt and Gary McCormick Show. Even the event title brings a smile - ‘A New Knight for a New Day’ referring to Mayor Tim Shadbolt of Invercargill, who is now ‘Sir Timothy Shadbolt,’ with all of the attendant responsibilities!

“Not bad for a Westie with a few protesting convictions under his belt,” said the new Knight. “And pretty hard on me!” added Gary, who sees himself as the real worker in the comedy team.

We now all know that Sir Tim has retained his Invercargill mayoralty for a ninth term (although he’s been a mayor eleven times - with two terms outside Invercargill).

“As the longest serving Mayor, living or dead - there is some debate as to which I am....,” Sir Tim quipped, “I have towed many concrete mixers in my time. From way back in the

sixties, when I wrote “Bullshit and Jellybeans’, l think I have had my fingers on the pulse of the Nation and I’m going to check it out again in this series of comedy shows with Gary.”

Gary agrees that Sir Tim has always been the ‘Doctor Ropata’ of the New Zealand scene. “Sir Tim has always been able to diagnose the Nation's sore points long before the others.”

The McCormick and Shadbolt Comedy Show is a rough and tumble debate in the manner of the old style political meetings from the last century when it was not necessary to be polite.

It's important that babyboomers - who after all, have all the money, have a voice. Sir Tim and I will supply that in spades,” Gary explained.

Following a sellout tour of twenty-three golf courses and Clubs (the “heartland of New Zealand,” as Gary puts it) and in an attempt to understand why Labour won the last election and not their own Pull

an hour or two, when they can,” Elaine added.

“We are a very relaxed group of caring like-minded people and we would be delighted to welcome folk to come and see us on November 3rd to chat or find out more about us,” Elaine concluded.

Tickets for the 2019 Methven and Foothills House and Garden Tour are now on sale and organisers promise a range of new and exciting properties to discover.

The tour takes place on Saturday, November 9th, and is organisers’ fifth annual House and Garden tour to fundraise for Methven Care Trust. The Trust, a registered charity, is the group spearheading the project to replace Methven House with a new purpose-built rest home within Camrose Estate. Their aim, by the provision of a new rest home, is to allow Methven locals and those from the surrounding area, the opportunity of continuing to live in the community they love, as they age. The fundraising campaign was launched in mid 2015 to support the design and build process and all money

raised will go towards the new facility.

The Tour will see seven properties selected for viewing this year. Vehicles are required to get around the Tour and organisers request that visitors refer to the Tour guide and respect home owners requirements for parking. They also advise that children under the age of sixteen aren’t permitted and the use of public rest rooms (also marked on the guide) will be necessary. They recommend wearing comfortable shoes that can be

easily removed to enter each venue and apologise that there is no wheelchair access.

Raffles will be available, (organisers suggest bringing plenty of coins!). These extras will be complemented with a plant stall (cash only - no eftpos available) and also a gourmet optional barbecue lunch.

Tour maps are forwarded via email the week prior to the event, purchasers need to ensure they have an email address to receive these.

E-scooters will be coming to Selwyn for a six month trial, subject to the adoption of changes to traffic and parking rules.

Selwyn District Council voted at its meeting recently to agree to a trial for two scooter companies, Lime and Lava, to trial their scooters in Rolleston, Prebbleton and Lincoln.

It will be the first time an escooter trial has been carried out outside one of New Zealand’s major urban areas.

The trial is subject to the adoption of the Council’s draft Traffic and Parking Bylaw, which includes changes allowing the scooters to be used and parked legally on public footpaths.

The draft Traffic and Parking Bylaw is out for public consultation until October 18th.

The earliest the bylaw can be adopted by the Council would be at its December meeting.

The trial will involve 50 Lava scooters and 200 Lime Scooters, which will be allowed to travel between the towns using cycle ways.

The Council had safety concerns around the use of State Highways and directed that the State Highways be made no-go zones for the scooters and that staff decline Burnham as a destination for the scooters. Cemeteries will also be off limits for the scooters.

The Rolleston iZone business hub will be included in the trial area with a crossing allowed across State Highway 1 using the pedestrian crossing from Rolleston Drive.

Further details around low speed zones in high density pedestrian areas and reserves will be confirmed closer to the start date of the trial.

See the advertisement in this issue for ticketing details etc.

3D DIGITAL WHEEL ALIGNER Local rugby player Haigh Jebson was recognised as Senior Player of the Year on Friday, October 11th in the Dunsandel Community Centre venue of the annual Ellesmere Rugby Awards.

Haigh played for Darfield this season as a lock and flanker, but for Ellesmere representative appearances he played openside.

“It was a complete shock to win this award,” Haigh said. “I was very surprised to be recognised for something like this and to

get the award is pretty special,” he added proudly. “The season went well! I managed to get through injury free thankfully,” he said. “Darfield is a great Club, everyone there is very welcoming. It has a great team culture and being able to be on the paddock with a great bunch of lads every weekend is outstanding, especially the likes of Blair and Scott McIlroy as they have over four hundred senior games between them. I have definitely been able to learn a lot from them,” Haigh

It’s been a hectic few weeks for Simon Bryant and Shannon Tucker, Tucker the new owners of the Hororata Village Bar and Café (HVBC), as they gear up for the summer season in their popular location. The couple have both had short stints of hospitality experience before purchasing the business and Simon really wanted to take on the Café and create a place where locals could meet, mix and socialise.

“I’ve long enjoyed popping into the Café for a cold beer or a great pie,” Simon commented, “and when the opportunity arose to buy the business it seemed the perfect chance to create a continuing tradition.”

Simon has lived locally all his life and while predominantly involved in the farming sector in the district, he has more recently had some experience in the Coalgate mine. Shannon is from Christchurch but her love of the outdoors and her desire for space to house animals meant her move to Hororata/Glenroy wasn’t a difficult decision at all.

The couple who are parents to three month old daughter Dixie are also in the throes of renovating the old Glenroy School buildings - they didn’t do things by half!

“I feel in love with the area and the people,” Shannon enthused.

“More room for pets is ideal, as you can never have too many!

at the Café; he loves the attention from everyone.”

Both Shannon and Simon see HVBC as a great opportunity and a wonderful challenge. The pair commented that with the demise of the Pub (the earthquake damaged Hororata Hotel) they now have the chance to make HVBC just as popular.

“Our Thursday and Friday nights in the bar are already a hit with locals and they’re a great way for new-comers to the area to meet the community,” Simon and Shannon added.

The couple said they’re just loving being the owners of HVBC and sincerely thank the community for their ongoing support.

“The ski traffic is a great bonus, but without our locals we

couldn't do what we do,” Simon said.

“We have massive changes planned for the building which will make it a great place for everyone, both inside the Café, and bar, plus the outside areas.

We can’t wait to share it all with you as soon as things are confirmed.”

During the summer, live music is planned at least once a month with the first event coming up this weekend (The Southern Man - Denis Henderson).

After 13½ years Policing in Darfield, Senior Constable Tony Beaumont left on Wednesday, October 16th to take up a new role based in Rolleston.

Tony said that while he is sad to be leaving the area after such a long time, he is looking forward to the new challenges his role dealing with people affected by Family Harm in the Selwyn area will present.

Tony added that he has made a large number of friends among the people of this area, having moved here 28 years ago.

“Policing can only flourish with the will of the community, and this community is fantastic,” Tony said. “I have generally found people out here to be pragmatic and helpful and the

relatively low levels of crime are not only due to Police, but also to the community’s willingness to step in when required and lend a hand, or to assist with information.

“The last thirteen years has seen a major change to the size and makeup of the District with the conversion of many farms to dairying, the post-quake growth and major projects such as the Fonterra factory and CPW project all causing, sometimes significant, growth spurts,” Tony explained.

“I have really enjoyed working with staff from other emergency services, Community Patrol, schools, Council, local businesses and many others, who all use their time and

energy to try to improve the welfare of local residents and the liveability of the District.

“I would also like to thank the various Police staff I have worked with over the years at Darfield. We should also acknowledge that having a family member in rural policing is particularly tough for those families, as they are never sure where you are going to be, or when, or if, you are going to come home,” Tony said.

After 41 years of 24/7 shift work with the last thirteen years also being on-call, Tony is looking forward to getting a few statutory holidays, weekends, and birthdays off!

The Springfield community and further afield, swung behind a Clearance Sale at Pocock Road over the weekend to support local charities; Springfield Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Building Fund of the historic St Peter’s Church at Springfield, who were the beneficiaries.

Other items were contributed to Plunket and Sew Delightful, event organisers Jo (nee James) James and her husband David Frecker reported.

Jo and David are selling up their lifestyle block and the contents of the household.

“What must have looked like several generations of ‘trash’, became treasure for others,” Jo said. “Over $1300 was raised to be shared equally between these two charities,” she added.

The Freckers have owned the Pocock Road property since 2005. “We have seen many

positive changes in the Village over that time, especially booming numbers of young families with children.” Jo commented.

Jo grew up at Ben More Station, near Porters Pass, and attended Springfield Primary School. She and her husband have been members of the Springfield community for many years.

“It felt good to put something back into these worthwhile community projects that bring people together,” Jo said.

Jo and David bought the property from the family of the original owners, Mr and Mrs Bill Montgomery.

Montgomery Bill was a Gallipoli veteran and was invalided out during that campaign. He later returned to the theatre of war on the Western Front. “Here he sadly lost a leg; a true Kiwi War hero. He lived well into his eighties,” Jo explained. “Mr and

Mrs ‘Monty’, as they were known locally, were great community folk over many years. The tussock planting on the corner of Pocock and Annavale Road, locally known as ‘Monty’s’ corner will now commemorate their memory and long connection with Springfield,” she concluded.

Further donations to either Springfield Volunteer Fire Brigade or St Pet er’s Community Church Building Fund are always welcomed.

ACROSS THE STREET ACROSS THE WORLD THE BEST MOVES ARE MADE WITH GRACE

With record numbers of families, parents, caregivers and children pouring into the Lincoln Event Centre, the facility was buzzing on Thursday, October 10th for the annual Selwyn Parenting Network (SPN) Family Fun Day flagship event.

A wide and varied number of activities and entertainment were on offer including inflatables for all ages, pony rides, juggling workshops, library services, trampolines, parkour and gymnastics equipment, as well as the ever popular crazy bikes from Pedalmania. Plus a young upand-coming band called ‘Out of Control’ who took to the stage for a one hour set, with many a young dancer joining in.

The Emergency Services area proved to be of huge interest with a large informational Police utility vehicle in attendance along with two police cars including Highway Patrol; children loved the opportunity to talk with the officers and test their running speed against the accuracy of a laser.

Lincoln Firefighters brought along a hugely popular inflatable evacuation maze which saw children learning, “to

get down, get low and get out”, explained Kerri Pring, Pring Fire Risk Management Officer for Fire Emergency New Zealand. She also explained the importance of children learning this message: “In the event of a fire in the middle of the night at home, you’re going to be disorientated after waking to the sound of smoke alarms, so this maze teaches the children how to get down and get low, so that they can find their way out.”

A variety of fun informational and interactive hubs saw community organisations and service providers cover a wide range of health and well-being subjects. From physical activity and movement with the Selwyn Sports Trust running the Sports Hub, through to children creating their own masterpiece at the Creative Hub hosted by Selwyn Creative Trust. A Nutritional Hub, Sensory Hub and Cultural Kirituhu Hub all proved incredibly popular too, it was reported.

Kate Webb, Webb Coordinator for Selwyn Parenting Network explained that this year’s event has proved to be yet another highlight on the 2019 SPN agenda for the charitable organisation.

“Providing a ‘Parenting Signpost’ of service providers and community organisations is one of the main aims of our organisation, and this fun community event has helped to mirror our vision of strengthening whanau and empowering parents and caregivers to learn, play, connect and thrive with their tamariki.

“A highlight this year has been attracting almost thirty local volunteers (of all ages) to assist us, proving that ‘giving back’ is still at the heart of many in our community,” Kate said.

“Our thanks extend to everyone who came along on the day and helped make it one to truly remember,” she concluded.

Organisers of the Darfield ITM (in conjunction with the Darfield Rugby Football Club) Fishing Competition, held last weekend, were scanning weather forecasts two weeks prior, as they weren’t looking good!

However, other than a bit of rain on Friday night the remainder of the weekend stayed dry and reasonably mild.

With a total of 76 registrations, up from last year, it was great to see 22 kids joining their families and friends and catching most of the fish.

Ashburton, Darfield and surrounds, Hornby, Rolleston, Springston, Redcliffs, Twizel and West Melton, were just some of the places contestants hailed from, we also saw a great variety of ages across the contestants.

The ‘Prettiest Fish’ prizes male section went to Dave Wilson 2.235kg salmon (Dave also won the trophy for ‘Prettiest of Prettiest Fish’ overall), while Jessica St. ClaireClaire-Newman won the female prize with a 1.235kg trout, and Ryder Greening (Under 16) 1.595kg trout.

The ‘Dick n’ Trout’ award was awarded to Dean Boyes and Ben Kars…

disclosed until after the prize giving! Maybe you should ask them what went wrong, just to give you a heads-up; Dick in his under pants, in the Lake was the picture we mentally saw!

Dean’s Mum: “Make sure you put the tent up, before you have a beer.” Sound advice Mum except for the fact the tent was left behind in Darfield!

Dylan Duffy generously offered the use of his tent, however after numerous attempts at trying to force a double blow-up bed and three men into a two man tent, Dean and Ben finished up cuddling up, on the air bed, under the stars!

Thankfully the tent made it to the Lake for Friday night’s sleep, thanks to Tracy C. C Dick Moore gained the ‘Good Bugger’ title giving away his second major prize win to one of the children. Sophia Price was celebrating her seventh birthday and was the lucky recipient. Sophia then paid back the generosity by choosing the tractor and trailer prize her four year old brother had been patiently eyeing up over at least two hours; great work guys!

A big thanks goes out to all s p o n so r s, h e l p er s a n d contestants who supported this year’s event. Roll on next year; see you there on 9th and 10th October 2020.

The Darfield Tennis Club 2019/20 Opening Day and Junior Registration on September 21st was a huge success, with many potential Juniors and hotshots coming out of the woodwork, it was reported.

“However, the number of new Seniors was disappointing considering the amount of new builds occurring in the district,” commented Rob Potts for the Club.

Anyone who missed the open day but is keen to get involved can contact the Club via their Facebook page.

“The Club thanks the two Rolleston businesses for attending their Opening Day, providing sports gear demos, and spot prizes. We look forward to continuing a relationship with both of you,” Robb explained.

The Darfield Tennis Club is

looking at putting four Junior teams out pre-Christmas and five post-Christmas, as well as two strong looking President Grade teams.

The Club will also be fielding a number of Twilight Serios and Twilight Social teams in the Thursday evening competition.

“This is 1½ hours of fun, followed by a bevvy or two,” Rob said.

The Methven Mud and Steel event (4WD winch challenges), hosted by the Methven Lions in conjunction with 4X4 Events in Christchurch, took place on October 12th and 13th at Alford Forest.

This Winch Challenge was built around the NZ1 Winch Challenge Series, and was a qualifying round of the New Zealand National Championships. It attracted competitors from a number of locations who were chasing important points.

The weather gods were seriously against organisers on the Saturday (it hardly stopped raining all day) but that didn’t stop five hundred hardy souls braving the weather over the

weekend to see the thrilling action on offer.

“There was a great atmosphere with a real buzz amongst people who hadn't seen this kind of thing close-up before. It's certainly wild,” commented one of the organisers Mac McElwain.

McElwain “Overall the event was a huge success,” Mac added. “The great thing is that everyone was smiling - we never saw a grumpy face all weekend (except for the kid who dropped his sausage in the mud, and he was quickly put straight),” he laughed. “All the competitors had seriously good fun too,” Mac concluded.

Funds raised from this event are going to ‘Kidzmethven,’ toward the building of a skatepark in the

“Check Facebook for contact details.

“To the Darfield Community; the courts are looking good so come and enjoy them - social hits on Tuesday evenings, or Wednesday mornings. Great opportunity to meet some great people. The Clubrooms are on Horndon Street, past the netball courts,” Rob concluded. .

middle of Methven. The final funds raised hasn’t yet been tallied but the organisers believe they have achieved their target.

Organisers were extremely happy with how the event went and hope to make it an annual one.

A beautiful sunny Spring day provided near perfect conditions for the Hurst Waimak 100 event at Darfield Gun Club on Sunday, October 6th. The shoot is proudly sponsored by Eddie and Jean Hurst and is hotly contested by shooters from far and wide. Forty four shooters turned out for a fantastic day of shooting with some from as far afield as Wanaka Gun Club.

The event was split into four rounds of 25 targets with sweeps in the first round and the middle fifty targets providing the opportunity for fantastic prizes in all grades.

Congratulations to HOA winner Dave Folley with a score of 97.

Dave is the current President of Darfield Gun Club so it was a

satisfying win for the home Club.

which is awarded to the shooter with the highest combined score from the Rakaia 100, which was held in April at Mead-Te Pirita Gun Club and the Waimak 100.

Twenty one shooters competed for this with the winner Phil Bridge having a combined score of 194.

Darfield Gun Club wishes to acknowledge Eddie and Jean Hurst as the sponsors of this event and to thank all those who work behind the scenes to make this event run well; Georgia Cottrell shoot secretary for the office work, Colin McRae on the barbie and all those who scored and ref-ed and kept the traps full.
