Saturday, July 3rd saw the Christchurch to Greymouth TranzAlpine train service resume after it ceased due to Covid-19.

The train ride gives travellers the opportunity to experience the South Island’s striking natural landscape, while making their way between the East and West Coasts. Throughout the journey passengers get to see epic vistas, travel the edges of the ice-fed Waimakariri River, traverse the Southern Alps, and see miles of native beech forest. The TranzAlpine is one of the world's great train journeys covering 223 kilometres (139 miles) one-way, taking just under five hours. Passengers cross the majestic Canterbury Plains, with a backdrop of the mighty Southern Alps, described as the journey of a lifetime.

The reinstated service was a

sell out with over three hundred very enthusiastic passengers onboard. The train was full, largely due to a currently running price special offering heavily reduced fares.

Springfield locals welcomed the return of the TranzAlpine; the Station was decorated with signs and balloons and the tubs of flowers had been watered. Around thirty Springfield residents turned up at the Station to welcome the train and its passengers, while a group of locals were eagerly waiting to board, for their trip to Greymouth.

Greymouth also warmly welcomed the train that brought excited visitors. Many that disembarked on the Coast were hiring cars to continue their exploration. It’s hoped the return of the train will assist businesses along the line, as well as on the Coast.

Darfield Tyre Centre Ltd commenced operating almost exactly thirty years ago on July 1st 1990. Having purchased the business from Goodyear Tyres, Darfield Tyre Centre Ltd continued to operate a Goodyear franchise.

From small beginnings in a Skyline garage on Cardale Street; now two moves later the business operates from modern premises on South Terrace under the Bridgestone Banner.

The thriving tyre shop has four full time Tyre Technicians and two part time Office Staff. The business purchased by Peter Beattie thirty years ago, is now

owned by Peter (Managing Director), his son Mark Beattie (Fleet Service Manager) and R oss Ma rsh (Forecourt Manager) who has served 27 years with the Company.

“Through all our changes we have had wonderful support from the local community with many clients right there from the beginning, so a big thank you to you all,” Peter said gratefully.

“Apart from the general run-ofthe-mill car and 4WD tyres, we are also specialists in every aspect of the tyre industry ranging from children’s buggies, motorbike tyres, farm tractor and implement tyres, to very large logging and earthmoving tyres,” the Darfield Tyre Centre team said. “We also stock a large range of batteries to fit all types of vehicles.”

Darfield Tyre Centre operates two fleet vehicles which service the likes of trucking companies and the wider farming community with all types of

tractor and implement tyres.

“Vulcanising of damaged tyres is a big part of our business and this can be an enormous saving to farmers, who may otherwise be faced with costly tyre replacements,” the Tyre Centre Team added.

Being a rural tyre business, Darfield Tyres retain the experience to fit the appropriate tyres to vehicles that operate in variable conditions. Unlike their city counterparts who largely accommodate vehicles run on predominantly paved streets.

“With hundreds of tyres in stock we are almost certain to have the right tyre to fit your vehicle,” Peter added.

“Wheel Alignments are a big part of our business and we operate the latest Hunter machine which is regarded as the best Wheel Aligner in the trade,” Peter, Mark and Ross explained. “So if it’s tyres you’re after, you can do no better than come and talk to your local specialists at Darfield Tyre Centre Ltd,” they concluded.

With planning well underway for the Darfield High School Ball after-parties on July 25th, 2020 we would like to remind all hosts and parents of their responsibilities around supplying minors with alcohol.

Intoxication of minors is of significant concern to police and has historically resulted in disorder, intentional damage of property, tagging of community centres, skate parks, residential

fences and serious assaults.

Under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act the minimum age for the purchase of alcohol in New Zealand is eighteen years.

In other words, although those under eighteen are unable to legally purchase alcohol themselves, they are legally permitted to consume alcohol.

The law is based on the belief that parents should control how, and when, their children are introduced to alcohol, so it makes it illegal for anyone to supply alcohol to someone under the age of eighteen years, without the consent of their parent or guardian. Doing so will result, and has resulted, in prosecution and a fine of up to $2,000.

A person is only considered a minor’s guardian if he, or she, is recognised as a guardian under the Care of Children Act 2012.

Town & Lifestyle Real Estate Ltd Licensed (REAA 2008)

A person that is not the parent, or legal guardian, and who supplies alcohol to a minor must have the EXPRESS consent of a parent, or guardian, to do so and must do it responsibly, which includes supervising the minor.

EXPRESS consent may include a personal conversation, an email, or a text message, that you have good reason to believe is genuine.

Minors should know that there are laws restricting the age at which they can buy and drink alcohol because it is a mindaltering drug, and whether they are allowed to drink is a decision their parents make.

Minors cannot drink in public places (including vehicles that are in public places), and doing so will result in an instant, on the spot, $200 fine.

Police encourage all parents to be aware of their children’s whereabouts and confirm their child’s overnight plans with other parents. Their intoxication level leads to anti-social behaviour, which in turn has a large financial impact on all Selwyn residents as rate payers.

Police encourage all residents to report any anti-social or suspicious behaviour.

COMMUNITY MEETING The beautiful St John’s stone church at Hororata was severely damaged in the September 2010 earthquakes. While the district mourned the loss and destruction of many of its much loved public and private buildings, raising the means to repair and strengthen the lovely church has largely fallen on a relatively small group. A group that is now calling on the community to assist with making a decision on the Church’s future outcome.

Over the last few months, under the direction of the Vestry, the Church Property Trustees (CPT) Recovery Team have been putting in place procedures and plans for rebuilding, strengthening and repairing their beloved stone church. This has included engineering reports, cost estimations and applications for funding.

“Costing for this project has been estimated to be around four million dollars and after costs associated with the process, we currently have around $790,000 set aside for the project,” reported Rev. Jenni

Carter, Carter of the Hororata Parish.

“On our behalf, the CPT applied to the Lottery Grants Board, Significant Project Fund; chosen due to the amount needed and the amount already held,” Jenni explained.

Unfortunately this application was rejected because, ‘the project did not reach the Committee’s regional, or national, significance threshold’.

“This is a hugely disappointing outcome for the Vestry and the CPT as it is unlikely, we will receive such significant funding from any other source,” Jenni said.

“It is vital that we now make a plan to move forward. As part of this process, Vestry met with CPT delegates and Bishop Carrell to discuss possible options.

“These are outlined as follows: • ‘Mothball’ the project for completion at a later date when more funding is available.

• Find alternative private funding sources.

• Dismantle the building.”

There are numerous implications for each option and

Vestry believe that all scenarios need to be considered and discussed, both with the Parish and the wider community. To do this they will hold an open meeting to facilitate this discussion.

“It is important to note that the CPT recovery team will be disbanding in 2021,” Jenni said.

“Because of this, our Vestry need to have a decision on the best way forward, by the end of 2020, so we are able to ensure existing funds are allocated appropriately,” she added.

“Over the next few weeks, we ask that the community consider ideas going forward.

“We then ask that you share these thoughts and ideas at our community meeting on Thursday, July 30th,” Jenni encouraged. “We anticipate it will be one of many meetings over the next few months and hope that by the end of the year we will have a way forward which is supported by our community,” she concluded.

See the advertisement in this issue for further details of the St John’s community meeting.

A proposed new plan for the Hororata Reserve has been released for people to have their say.

Selwyn District Council and Go Hororata are working with Hamish Shaw Architects and project partner Canopy Landscape Architects, to develop a Master Plan for the Hororata Reserve. This includes a concept and location for the possible new Hororata Community Centre.

The community is invited to submit their feedback on the Hororata Reserve Master Plan through the online form at www.selwyn.govt.nz/ hororatareserve. Feedback must be submitted by Friday, July 24th.

“The plan is the result of eleven months’ work by the project team, including a public workshop and other discussions with the community and groups that use the reserve,” Hamish Shaw explained.

Video presentations and an online feedback form have been created to allow people to view the plan and engage with it in their own time.

“The purpose of the Master Plan is to look forward ten to twenty years and make sure that the Reserve continues to be developed to serve the community,” he added.

The Hororata Reserve is one of the biggest and oldest reserves in New Zealand. It is believed the land was vested to the community by the owner of Hororata Station, John Cordy in the 1870s.

The Reserve is well known for its events having hosted trotting race meets since 1885 and more recently Swap Meets, Spring Fairs, the Hororata Highland Games and Night Glow festivals. It is also a versatile recreational area for the community, with tennis in the summer, small-bore rifle shooting in the winter and allyear-round equestrian use with one of the best cross-country courses in Canterbury. The six kilometre walking track around the perimeter is enjoyed by people from all around Selwyn.

“The Master Plan has looked to further establish the Reserve as a community hub and we looked to enhance its existing

character,” Hamish said.

“Strengthening the pedestrian circulation within the Reserve and broader Hororata township has been a focus, as well as better enabling events and user groups to operate.

“There are some lovely points of interest in the Reserve including the Edwardian Ornamental Lake and the walking track. We have looked at how we can enhance these using new plantings and increasing biodiversity,” Hamish said.

“Completing the Reserve Master Plan at the same time as beginning the early concept planning for the Hororata Community Centre allows us to look at the big picture,” he commented. “The community centre will be a multi-use space which integrates into the Reserve. This is the very first step in the Community Centre design and there is still a lot more work to be done, but from this, we start to see how the building will function within the wider Reserve setting, to best cater for the community’s needs,” Hamish concluded.

Creativity is more often about the process rather than the finished product, an idea highlighted throughout the fiveday community ‘Splash/Create’ exhibition held recently (June 26th - July 2nd) at Te Huanui Gallery in Darfield.

Participants were treated to blank walls and a space to play, create, make a mess and have a go at something new! Blank walls were transformed into colourful murals, red bricks into bright creations for Te Huanui’s outdoor area and Peter Cattell shared his pottery expertise with a very popular

“Four Square has been a cornerstone in Kiwi communities for 96 years now,” said Steve Alexander, Alexander Four Square Group Manager, Foodstuffs South Island. “Generations, young and old have grown up with the brand’s local service, friendly hospitality, community spirit and support.”

Historically Four Square stores celebrate their birthday on July 4th (a date that came into force when the Four Square founder circled that date on the calendar during negotiations to start the enterprise). However birthday promotions instore generally run for a fortnight or more.

Paige McLeod from Bryndwr, Christchurch, spent her sixth birthday on Saturday, June 27th, being a shopkeeper for the day at West Melton’s Four Square.

“I had a collection of Mr Four Square photos on my phone and during lockdown a friend suggested I make them into a book,” explained Paige’s mother Kylie.

Kylie “My friend works for Foodstuffs (albeit a completely different division) and the said book, unbeknownst to me, ended up on the Four Square Group Manager’s Desk,” she added. “It then found its way to the Marketing Team who

just loved it,” Kylie said.

Paige and her parents, Kylie and Alex are a regular Kiwi family who enjoy their camping and road trips. Since she was a little girl, Paige has always loved to have her photo taken with the Mr Four Square Man at various venues.

“She would quite often go up to the Four Square man signs placed outside stores and give them a cuddle,” smiled Kylie.

“We frequently holiday in Twizel which has two supermarkets both of them Four Squares - so Paige has had her photo taken there on numerous occasions,” she reported.

The West Melton Four Square was the closest Four Square store to Christchurch, until the Redcliffs shop rebranded recently; so Paige was lucky enough to spend her special birthday day as a shopkeeper there. She loved being on the checkout and scanning purchases, she also got to stock the shelves (milk, bread, bananas) and sweep the floor.

“The Manager gave her her own tiny uniform and name badge and the staff made an absolute fuss of her,” Kylie explained.

“Four Square has a real community feel about its shops and that certainly comes across at the West Melton store.

Page 7

The people were amazing.” she enthused. “The most special customer was her Harewood School Principal, Julie Greenwood,” Greenwood Kylie added.

“We struggled to get Paige to leave the Shop when it was over,” she laughed.

“It was a treat to celebrate our 96th Birthday and Paige’s sixth Birthday on Saturday,” said Brent Little, Little Four Square West Melton, owner operator. “Paige loves Four Square and plays shopkeeper at home quite a bit, so we wanted to give her a birthday to remember and let her run the Store for the day.

We hope we inspired a new generation of local business owners and showed them that running a store can be hard work, but it’s super rewarding to give back to locals and support our West Melton community,” he concluded.

Last Saturday, saw Darfield take on Rolleston at the Duck Pond; immaculately presented as always. The Ducks were keen to make a statement, and to ensure that they took a bonus point win out of the game, so as to keep pace with the three unbeaten sides. The good crowd lining the sideline, didn’t have to wait long for the action to begin. Young hooker, Ged Roessink crossed after nine minutes, with the sideline conversion slotted by Alister Collins, Collins to move out to an early 7-0 lead. What occurred shortly after this had the crowd cheering even louder, with Sheldon ‘Bluey’ Reed crossing for three tries in the space of five minutes, all ably converted

by Alister, to have Darfield out to a 28 nil lead inside half an hour.

More sustained pressure inside the Rolleston red zone, led to a penalty try being awarded after a five metre scrum collapsed on the goal line. The Ducks headed into the break

with an imposing 35-0 lead.

Shortly after the break, Haigh Jebson scored the first of his two tries, enjoying being back on the side of the scrum for this game, instead of in the second row. Rolleston managed to steal an intercept try at the fifty minute mark dotting down beside the sticks. However the conversion would be the last points they succeeded in scoring for the match. Sheldon managed to be on the end of the chain again, and dotted down for his fourth try of the game inside sixty minutes.

Alister scored a try shortly after, slotted the conversion, and headed to the bench, with a fifteen point haul for the match.

Replacement halfback Lance Meikle scored a try with a brilliant sidestep, to leave the Rolleston defenders staring at each other. Richard Catherwood dotted down on the seventy minute mark, to have the Ducks leading 66-7, with ten minutes to go. Haigh finished off his strong game scoring with five

minutes left on the clock, with Hamish Inch nailing his third conversion to give the full time score of 73-7 to the Ducks.

Haigh deservedly picked up the 3 MVP (most valuable player) points for his game, showing why he was voted, Ellesmere Player of the Year last season.

The evergreen, Blair McIlroy picked up two, enjoying his first run on start of the season with numerous bone crunching tackles on multiple Rolleston attackers.

All in all, a good game for the Ducks to have them sitting third on the Coleman Shield ladder, after three rounds. This weekend they have a bye, before heading to Lincoln the following weekend (Saturday 17th). Div 2 and Div 3 have their shortest road trip of the season, heading down to nearest neighbours Kirwee, on Saturday, for what is always a game that both teams look forward to.

Bodie Hawkins,

Manager, Darfield Div1.

FARMING COMMUNITY HELPS RAISE FUNDS FOR

KIRWEE VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADE The Kirwee Volunteer Fire Brigade received support from the local farming community who raised over $3,500 through the annual PGG Wrightson and Ballance Agri-Nutrients Cash for CommuniCes programme.

A barbeque was held recently bringing the farming community together to say thanks for supporCng the local fire brigade.

At the event, a cheque of $3,742 raised through the Cash for CommuniCes programme was presented to Kirwee Volunteer Fire Brigade, Chief Fire Officer, Stuart Jones.

Mr Jones represents the hard work and commitment shown by the volunteer firefighters who serve the Kirwee community. He received the Queen’s Service Medal in the 2020 New Year’s Honours list for his services to Fire and Emergency New Zealand having been a firefighter since 1974.

Mr Jones said receiving the financial boost was a great feeling, parCcularly as it was through the community. “It gives us the tools to provide a be er service to the community when they need us. It’s all for the community.”

He said the fire brigade was always fortunate with the high level of community involvement they receive. The Kirwee community “find out exactly what we’re funding for and they come on board and support us.”

Kirwee farmer, Andrew Brooker, who a ended the barbeque said “the Kirwee Fire Brigade is all run by volunteers, they’re all good enough to give up their Cme and leave their jobs, at all hours of the day and night, and we think it’s the least we can do to support them really.”

The barbeque, held at the Kirwee Fire Brigade, had a great turnout with the local farmers who nominated the fire brigade a ending. They were able to nominate by purchasing parCcipaCng Ballance Agri-Nutrients ferCliser through PGG Wrightson and FruiQed Supplies, earning $1 per tonne for the fire brigade during spring 2019.

RepresentaCves from the PGG Wrightson’s Darfield store and local Ballance Agri-Nutrients staff contributed to this impressive effort, encouraging local customers to nominate the fire brigade when purchasing ferCliser during the specified Cme. Rural communiCes throughout the country can benefit from the Cash for CommuniCes programme.

The partnership formed by PGG Wrightson and Ballance Agri-Nutrients raises funds for chariCes and organisaCons who provide valuable support to rural communiCes naConwide.

Since 2011 the programme has raised $550,000 for schools, Rescue Helicopters, Rural Support Trust and many other chariCes and organisaCons who play a pivotal role in their respecCve regions.

The Malvern Community Arts Council (MCAC) invites talented young residents of Malvern district to participate in its 2020 scholarship competition.

“We are encouraging our talented young people to apply for one of two $1,500 scholarships to be awarded

this spring,” announced MCAC Chairperson Philip Baldwin.

Baldwin Applications are open to young people from 17 - 25 years of age who live in Malvern (or in the case of students living away from home, whose parents live in Malvern). Applicants should submit a CV that

details their training and experience; current activity, awards, and achievements related to the arts; wider community involvement; and plans for the future.

“Our 2019 field of applicants was very accomplished, and the difference between high quality candidates came down to achievement and participation in activities outside the arts,” Philip observed.

The deadline for applications is Friday, August 21st, 2020 and the MCAC Scholarship Committee will consider applications in any arts’ discipline. An interview or audition may be required during late August or early September.

Visual artists should be prepared to submit a portfolio of their work and it is expected that applicants will be advised of the results by September 21st, 2020.

“The size of the scholarship is in recognition of the fact that young people at this age level face significant costs for tuition, materials, instruments, books, music, and travel related to their area of artistic endeavour,” Philip explained.

Young artists and performers are encouraged to pick up an entry form outlining all the conditions of application at Te Huanui (17 South Terrace, Darfield), the Darfield Library or Darfield High School.

Further information can also be obtained on the MCAC website, malvernarts.org.nz or see the advertisement in this issue.
