Another very successful Darfield Christmas in the Park was held at Westview Park in Darfield on Sunday, December 8th with a very good attendance from the community for a happy and relaxed event. The stage entertainment was well received with a large audience settled on the grass enjoying the music. The bouncy castles, fairy face painting, Pedalmania and the balloon man were kept busy all afternoon, as was Father Christmas who received lots of Christmas wishes. Continued on page 3…
Christmas is an exciting time of year for the littlies and once again there’s the Darfield streets’ lolly scramble to look forward to. The scramble will be undertaken by Darfield Fire Brigade, so youngsters should not only keep an eye out for the red urban fire truck, but also the yellow rural one on the streets. Both will dispense sweets! Lolly scramble organisers advise that the event will take place on December 22nd (Sunday) and if it’s wet they’ll

The Darfield MenzShed elves have been working again - to prepare more Fairy places for the upcoming holiday period. “Many Fairy visitors are expected to come to McHugh’s Forest to be with their friends and in time for the mid summer solstice,” the elves report. Anyone visiting the Forest after December 14th will be able to find the Fairy doors that have been provided, as well as some Elf repairs that have been made to existing doors. Some of the visiting Elves are from West Melton and they can be identified by the special doors with horse shoe surrounds.

After 37 years of chiropractic, in Switzerland, on the West Coast, and in Darfield, Stefan Riederer is retiring. When Stefan finished his chiropractic training in Canada in 1982, he and wife Corinne never imagined that they would end up retiring in this beautiful corner of the world! Julia Jay will take over the Darfield Chiropractic practise on January 1st, 2020. She already works with Stefan in addition to working in Rolleston, and hopes the transition will be an easy one for patients. “I am delighted to be able to take over from Stefan, but also a little bit daunted,” Julia said! “After 37 years of practice, Stefan has many very loyal patients and it’s going to be a big task to fill his shoes. I have certainly enjoyed hearing stories from patients who have known Stefan for such a long time.”
Julia is a keen gardener and she believes that bodies, like plants, can thrive if they are given the right conditions and the right support. When she’s not at work, Julia likes to explore the mountains and braided rivers, and is taking on a lifestyle block. She hopes to some day build a garden as beautiful as

Darfield’s Eco Garden Centre is always busy, and the lead up to Christmas is no exception. There’s a range of new products arriving daily to meet summer gardening needs and for Christmas gift ideas. The team at the Darfield Eco Garden Centre proudly work in with local artists and crafts people to sell locally-made, artisan items on their behalf.

Eco Garden Centre owners Jane Vaissaire and Rex Verity. The couple work in with Brian Hill from Coalgate, selling his worm fertiliser and worm tea and thoroughly enjoy educating folk about taking the organic gardening path. The Darfield Eco Garden Centre also enjoys visits from garden clubs. “We love hosting fellow gardeners,” Jane explained, “and it puts Darfield on the map too,” she added. Jane and Rex pride themselves on being the first, and still the only, poison-free-spray garden centre in New Zealand. “We got rid of them right from day-one,” Jane smiled. The pair also pride themselves
on not only getting rid of plastic bags, but doing so right from the get-go! “We recycle cartons from the Dairy,” she said. “It’s a win-win for both of us. We also recycle as many pots as we are able also.” It’s this attention to the ecosystem that recently won the Darfield Eco Garden Centre a Gold Award in the Selwyn Responsible Business Awards, in the Environmental category. Jane and Rex are extremely proud of this achievement and of the things they have implemented along the way to receiving it. “We sincerely thank all our customers and wish everyone a happy festive season.”

Spreading Christmas Cheer is something that brings a lot of people happiness. Dan Welford, Welford Jamie Woods (Hororata) and Israel Batchelor (Doyleston) are hoping to do just that, along with some of their rodeo friends. The group is raising funds and collecting donated gifts/toys to enable them to bring Christmas cheer to Children in Christchurch Hospital, children’s ward. “The main driver behind this is to try and give these children something to brighten up their Christmas. Nobody wants to be stuck in a hospital this time of the year, especially children,” Jamie explained. “We have been told there can be anywhere between twenty, to fifty, children on the ward at any time, so we are hoping to raise a minimum of $1,000 to brighten some child’s day.” This idea to do this was born following the inspirational journey of a friend (Hamish Hamish) Hamish who was riding from
Christchurch to Bluff, on a push bike. He was fundraising to supply families in need with food hampers for Christmas. After much thought and discussion the group contacted the Hospital and put their idea to them. They were greeted positively and so things have progressed from there. Because it’s dependent on the amount raised - the Christmas plan can’t be finally formulated, but arrangements are already well underway. On December 19th Jamie will liaise with Christchurch Hospital and ascertain how many children are there, their ages and their gender. Then Jamie, Dan, Israel and a few friends will head off to the shops to buy the required presents and spend the night wrapping them all! December 20th is present drop-off day and it’s hoped they can bring some smiles and excitement to those youngsters on the wards for Christmas.

Israel is going to take on the important role of Santa helper, Dan an elf, while every one else will be in western attire as befits their rodeo connection. The purchasing of gifts will be livestreamed and the group is hoping to also livestream the giving as well, but they are very aware of the need for privacy and so this will be taken into account. Businesses in Hanmer have well and truly got behind this initiative bringing down a trolley load of toys and goodies. To be part of the bringing cheer group, donations to their Givealittle page would be very much appreciated - see below for details and also details of the Facebook page where the live streaming will be posted.
Please donate to the Givealittle page: @keepingkidshappy or visit Facebook Christmas Cheer through Christchurch Hospitals Childrens Ward 2019 to see updates.
Both The Cat’s Pyjamas Preschool & Nurseries in West Melton and Rolleston held their Christmas Parties last week. “We all had so much fun, singing and dancing to our favourite songs, and taking part in lots of fun Christmas activities,” commented owner Tracy Summerfield. Summerfield “Everyone was so excited when Santa took time out of his busy schedule to drop by and say hello and give us a special gift,” she added. “We then enjoyed some yummy Christmas treats. Special thank you to all our families who were able to attend the Christmas Parties and make it such a special day for all of us,” she concluded.

The Gunyah Estate Garden Party promises to be an exciting event where fine food, wine, gin and whisky will be enjoyed while being entertained with live jazz and garden games; all in the stunning Gunyah Country Estate heritage gardens. “We have joined with the Hororata Community Trust to create a special event which will be a great way to celebrate the start of 2020. This will be a high -class event where the only thing missing is the Queen,” said Gunyah Country Estate owner Simonetta Ferrari. Ferrari “We started off working with Whisky Galore using the event to showcase their range of Gin. After feedback that people would like to experience more at the party, we also partnered with some Selwyn wineries, including Braided River, Lone Goat and Melton Estate who will offer tastings.” Whisky Galore will feature the Isle of Harris Gin which is now considered by Gin connoisseurs to be one of the world’s best. This social distillery in the remote Outer Hebrides of Scotland is a total success story with hand-dived kelp from the wild Atlantic Ocean used to infuse the Gin, giving it a unique character that Gin lovers have totally embraced with demand outstripping supply. “People will be able to experience a Gin masterclass, with Whisky Galore’s Michael FraserFraser-Milne, Milne seated around the Gunyah homestead dining room
table. There will be a limited number of seats for these classes, so once tickets have been purchased to the event, more information will be sent about this opportunity.” Christchurch Jazz band ‘The Curio Club’ will add to the celebration by playing for visitors all afternoon. With a classy look and sophisticated sound that is all its very own, ‘The Curio Club’ is a unique trio, playing a mix of jazz classics with a new twist, along with contemporary favourites. There will also be games set up around the expansive Gunyah Estate Gardens. These gardens were established by Gunyah’s original owners, Wilfred Hall and his wife, Millicent Potts in 1912 when the homestead was built. Now restored, they take up twelve acres with generous lawns, mature trees, New Zealand

natives, exotics (including original stunningly coloured and perfumed azaleas and rhododendrons from Thomas Potts’ Potts days), the old and new orchard, gazebo, folly, avenues and more. “We will offer several talks during the afternoon delving into the long history of Gunyah Estate, including stories of the people who have lived here. “We can guarantee that the Gunyah Garden Party will be an event with great summer vibes,” Simonetta said. “Included in the ticket price is a souvenir glass, wi n e a nd g i n ta s t i ng, entertainment and a continuous high-tea prepared in the Gunyah kitchen,” she concluded.

Local skiers skiing at Porters would be well-aware of the constant figure at the helm. Springfield's Uli Dinsenbacher has just relinquished his 34 year role as General Manager at Porters. Prior to assuming this position, he headed up the Ski School in the days the field was named Porter Heights, arriving in the area in 1982. Those were the days when there was limited snow grooming, no snow making and only rope tows on the Field. “I have been very fortunate to have been not only in my dream job, but also to have worked for the directors of five different companies (the number of owners during the time I was
GM),” Uli explained. “I’ve worked with five outstanding Operations Managers - Peter Boekholt, Boekholt Craig Ovenden, Ovenden Ben Quane, Quane Luke Armstrong and Blair James, James not to mention all the incredible crews over the years,” Uli added. Porters has had an influence on numerous skiing families and individuals during Uli’s tenure. None more so than the children of the local Springfield School who feature strongly in various ski racing events. Names that can be traced through secondary schools’ results for years afterwards. “It has been a challenging and all-consuming, but rewarding job, which has meant a great
deal to me,” he said. “I look back with satisfaction and appreciation, having made great memories and friendships throughout. I am however excited about what the next chapter will bring, and while I will act in an advisory role to the directors of Porters for the winter period, I also hope to have time for fishing and the chance to ski other New Zealand ski areas - which until now I’ve been unable to. Uli is a skilled and qualified beer brewer and has also been known to produce wonderful flavoursome sausages hopefully both pursuits will flourish now he has a little more time to spend on them.
The workshop will be closed from the 24th December till 6th of January 2020. Breakdown & emergency work only between Christmas & New Year. So please book in any warrants, servicing and last minute repairs NOW so we can fit you in!

Rogaine briefing, teams, advertising, consent forms and even a sausage sizzle at the end. The use of the Rose's farm, Lake Coleridge Station was the perfect venue, with mixed terrain, hills, obstacles and beautiful scenery. Well done for the team effort Windwhistle! Jayde Mayberry

Merry Christmas fellow road users! As the year ends and the silly season cranks into full swing I reflect on what has been a crazy twelve months. We have this year invested heavily in a new hoist and digital wheel aligner equipment to be a complete one-stop, automotive shop, and to keep up with technology. We plan on more upgrades to equipment next year, including a new diagnostic scan tool. I’ve been asked a few times lately if I’m worried about the growth of Electric Vehicles (EV) and that we won’t be able to service them. If we pull apart the EV, it’s still exactly the same as any other car out there, just with a different engine. They still have tyres, brakes, steering and suspension that wears out and requires replacing. In fact an
EV is even more dependent on every system being at optimal performance. Every single system in an EV drains the battery, so if the heater fan has restricted air flow, due to a dirty cabin filter, it will reduce the distance the EV travels between charges. Tyre performance and wheel alignment is also extremely important. Dragging a scuffing or under-pressured tyre also has a detrimental effect on battery life. I had an interesting and eye opening conversation with a fuel tanker driver the other day. The large fuel tankers we see on the roads carry approximately 30,000L each. It takes just over ten of those trucks to fill the fuel tanks of the new Boeing A380 aircraft 315,000L. Also some of those tankers on the road just carry
The Malvern Women’s Triples was held at Oxford on Friday, November 29th in cool, but pleasant conditions. Sixteen teams from Darfield, Kirwee, Oxford and West Melton competed. “Congratulations, to the winning team from Kirwee Bowling Club, Mabel Knight (S), Val Watson, Watson and Maureen Robertson who thoroughly deserved the victory, being the only team to have four wins on the day,” said Wendy Clucas, Clucas Secretary, Malvern Bowling Sub-Centre. “It was especially nice to have Peggie Jenkins present throughout the day,” Wendy added. Peggie is a long time supporter of the Women’s Triples and was rugged up accordingly to keep warm by the host Club, Oxford.”
15 South Terrace, Darfield engine oil. They deliver 30,000L of engine oil to some of the big fishing and freight ships. Then once the oil is past its use by date, the ship burns the oil to heat water for heating. So while we look at electrified passenger vehicles of the future, a world without hydrocarbon burning vehicles is a long way off. This is why I love my industry as it is always evolving. Think of a thirty year old car and how different the modern vehicle is. I personally think before we go to more fully electric vehicles, the vehicles coming out in the next few years will become more self -driven. Already we have active lane detection that steers you in the middle of the lane and active cruise control that slows the vehicle to the speed of the vehicle in front, so it won’t be long until these systems take more control of the vehicle we ‘drive’. The team at Darfield Automotive wish you all a happy and safe Christmas. Look after yourself and each other, Merry Christmas.

For the first time in Gillette Cup history, St Andrew’s College First XI are New Zealand Secondary Schools’ National Cricket Champions! The team recently played five consecutive days of cricket against the top five teams in the country, finishing with a convincing win in the final last week against Hamilton Boys’ High School. The Gillette Cup, first played in 1990, is the name given to the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ boys’ one-day cricket competition. The competition begins as a knock-out competition until the top school in each of six regional zones is determined. These schools then contest a finals’ tournament, which was held in Christchurch in

At the beginning of this year’s calving season, Canterbury Grasslands Ltd hosted a group of students from Darfield High School’s, Agricultural College. “They toured around our nine farms and were lucky enough to watch a calf being born. Of course the highlight of the day was feeding the calves,” commented Kathryn Jack, Jack HR Manager for Canterbury Grasslands Ltd. “We have a strict health and safety policy and insist on all
visitors wearing high-vis vests. This was quite challenging as the Agricultural College don’t have their own and we wouldn’t normally have so many on hand,” Kathryn explained. “Luckily our local Farmsource store came to our rescue,” she added. The day was reported to be a great success with the students loving the experience. “One student Mequa Stowger loved it so much she has since left school and joined us as a

full time farm assistant,” Kathryn reported. “It’s already obvious Mequa has real talent and will go far, what ever industry she chooses longterm.” Canterbury Grasslands Ltd tries to support their local community wherever they can and so they decided that the Agricultural College really should have their own high-vis vests and so approached Farmsource for help, as well. On Friday, December 6th representatives from Canterbury Grasslands Ltd and Farmsource went along to Darfield High School and presented the Year 10 agricultural class with new high-vis vests, proudly donated by them. “Mequa who joined us after her class visit also came along, to hopefully inspire more students to enter the industry. At just seventeen she’s a wonderful role model for others to aspire to,” Kathryn commented.

“What can a neighbour do for a neighbour so that people can be l on g c on t r i bu t e an d flourish?” This is the key ethos that the Malvern Hub has operated by for the past ten years. Ten years ago, Malvern Community help was formed in response to the 2010 earthquake. Two local women, Bev Elder and Denise Reynolds heeded the call for help from many families in Darfield and surrounding areas for a year following the quake. Not long after, they were joined by Kathy Stirrup and formed the Malvern Community Hub. Together they have remained humble and steadfast as dedicated volunteers to service this community. They have been responsible for establishing and supporting many initiatives that have continued on, as standalone, sustainable, projects. Bev, Denise and Kathy have worked alongside other caring community members to form various trusts and initiatives such as the Community Garden, MenzShed, Malvern Housing Trust and Malvern Vehicle Trust; they have helped establish projects like, Sew Delightful, Language and Laughter, with immigrant driving lessons, and ESOL classes, Books for Shut-ins, Community Food Bank, School Uniform subsidy via Polka Dot Com, Counselling subsidy via Cathy Caughey, Caughey Care Packages, Recycling Allsorts, Waitangi Day
Family Picnic, Welcome Packs for district newcomers, Craft and Cuppa Group, Money Mentoring and Budgeting, Advocacy and Education. The impressive list of community service does not end there, as they have also provided the area with advocacy on both individual and community matters, often making submissions to the District Council on matters of importance. As well they’ve worked with Council as a key point of contact to support the initiatives of Selwyn District Council at various times. This has meant making the trek to Rolleston for countless hours to ensure this community is represented. The Hub has also worked in collaboration with many organisations such as; Presbyterian Support, Malvern Health Trust, Pegasus Health, Frozen Meals Service, Rural Women’s Welfare, Day Club, Red Cross, Probus, Lions, Winz, Awhina Group, Selwyn Care provider network and Selwyn Safer Families to ensure the local district has good social support. The hundreds of hours the group spent receiving phone calls from people in need and being there to listen and support individuals as required can never be underplayed. As the end of the year approaches, Bev and Denise will sadly be retiring from their work at the Hub. The work of the Hub will continue with the wonderful Kathy Stirrup who will

be joined by local volunteers, Rachael Inch, Inch who has been with the Hub since April 2019, and Leanne Wright who has recently joined them. It is their intention to continue to encourage the neighbour to neighbour ethos serving the community and they will be supported by the Two Rivers Community Trust. “The compassion, kindness and dedication that Bev, Denise and Kathy have shown to our District is an inspiration,” Hub member Rachael commented. “It is hard to fathom the sheer energy that it has taken for each of these amazing women to undertake the work that they have. We would like to acknowledge the outstanding work and commitment they have given to the community; their presence will be sorely missed by many. It’s our hope that their legacy and the heart of what they have achieved by encouraging neighbours to look after neighbours, will be firmly embedded in the community and may continue for many years to come,” Rachael concluded.

Malvern Netball Centre (MNC) has some exciting new developments for the 2020 season which keeps to our game plan of promoting and developing netball for all ages, while retaining the sustainability of netball for Malvern players. We are aiming to keep as many people playing and enjoying netball under the Malvern umbrella as we can. The season will start with a twilight tournament that will run for six weeks in February and March; it’s a great way to get court-fit and have some fun at the same time. MNC is also excited to announce that it is considering running a new m id -we e k S e ni or s’ Competition next season. Would you love to play Senior netball, but you have no time on a Saturday, because of work and children? Now is your chance! The competition will be limited to eight teams (due to time restraints) so get in quick! What about Walking Netball? This will be introduced early in
the season and it is a great, new way to play the game we all love! This latest craze, introduced in England, is for women and men who may have previously enjoyed netball and would like to play the game again, or maybe are recovering from injury, just had a baby, want to learn to play for the first time, stay active, get a bit fitter, or just to come and meet new friends and have a laugh! MNC is also looking to extend its Saturday Social competition and inc l ud e a m ix ed te a m competition. Do you love netball but are just looking for something fun and social? With the last two seasons used to trial a pilot programme of sending teams to Selwyn, in conjunction with Darfield High School, we are now set to storm into 2020. The past season saw four out of five teams in the semi-finals, and two teams in the finals, with the Malvern C, Year 10 team winning 3rd Grade and the Malvern D, Year 9 team winning
the overall Senior Goal Aggregate Trophy. We are looking to extend to an additional Senior/Premier team pl ay in g in th e Se lwy n competition in 2020, making a total of six teams that will represent Malvern Netball at Selwyn. There are plans for a preseason camp for all players selected to compete in the Selwyn competition with dedicated people to help the selected teams with extensive knowledge to share. Trial dates will be released early next year, but we anticipate trials will take place at the end of February, early March 2020, as we need to work in with the Selwyn Registration dates and school terms. Keep an eye on the Malvern Netball Facebook page and the Malvern News for trial dates which will be released early in the new year. Merry Christmas and a happy festive season,
Malvern Netball.
