2020 marked thirty years of Daffodil Day in New Zealand, where communities have come together to raise much-needed funds to support people facing cancer. Cancer Society volunteers have collectively driven thousands of kilometres to get people to treatment, while countless others have helped in the Cancer Society’s campaigns to reduce the risk and impact of cancer. In the year 1990 there were 11,942 people diagnosed with cancer and by the end of 2020 it’s estimated more than 26,000 New Zealanders will be diagnosed for the year. This past weekend in the Cancer Society Canterbury - West Coast Division over 1700 staff and volunteers supported the Daffodil Day fundraising street appeal and various other community events. The Cancer Society Selwyn centre was thrilled with the response of local businesses to the ‘Paint the Town Yellow’ window display initiative which took place during Daffodil week. “Businesses in Rolleston, Lincoln, West Melton, Darfield, Leeston and Prebbleton were challenged with creating a Yellow window display to help raise awareness of Daffodil Day and offer a message of hope to those who are living with, and affected by, cancer in our 20 Hours ECE are FREE!

Not everyone could win a trophy but everyone who participated is truly a winner in our eyes,” Jackie concluded.

Having sold the Hororata Cafe back in October, Jarnia and Jason Kupe, Kupe aka the creators of The Butcher's Pie, have built a solid following at their Willows Cafe located on the Hororata Golf Course. “Willows is our hidden Gem,” Jarnia commented. “Customers who call in are in awe of both the stunning views and the great food awaiting them for takeaway, or dine-in,” she added. “Then there are the patrons who know Willows well and will turn up with their containers in order to top up their pantry with homebaked goods or Butcher's Pies, for the freezer.” Jarnia and Jason have expanded their overall enterprise significantly recently and so now is the time to focus on the sale of Willows Cafe to potential buyers . “It's taken nearly two and half years to build-up the Willows business,” Jarnia explained, “and it really does present a wonderful opportunity for further growth in the domestic market. The business enjoys wonderful support from the likes of Car Clubs, Motorcycle Clubs, Bus Tours, Garden Clubs and of course, the many golfing events and tournaments involving the Hororata Golf Club,” Jarnia said. “Most importantly, Willows is about family, community and sport. Glentunnel truly is a beautiful village to live and work in. For

required expansion into a bigger bakery kitchen. Jarnia and Jason have found one of these at Jones Road in Rolleston. “We have created a new pie shop and takeaway food outlet complete with our popular home-baked goods and of course The Butcher's Pie! This is great news for Rolleston residents,” Jarnia smiled. Pie baking is planned to begin in early September at Rolleston and meanwhile Jason is busy working toward expanding his pie-baking team, while Jarnia markets the sale of Willows. “If you think Willows could be just what you're looking for, call me for a chat,” Jarnia concluded.

this reason, we'd like to hand Willows over to the right people/person who will continue the love and enjoy it as much as we have.” Jarnia and Jason been busy keeping up with the demands of Willows Cafe, and all while turning a healthy trade in their Butcher's Pie Shop located in the Riverside Market Laneways, in Central Christchurch. The Pie Shop has been delighting many Christchurch residents and travellers alike with a visit already ‘Recommended’ to the Shop. “We love our little shop in Town,” Jarnia said. “It’s a complete takeaway model where you can grab a Pea-PiePud, or a Pie-Chips-and-Gravy, sit in the sun and enjoy the Riverside Market environment,” she reported. “Added to this is our online presence at www.thebutcherspie.co.nz where you can order boxes of pies online to be delivered straight to your door!” This huge growth in the Butcher's Pie range now means the couple have

Friday 4th September 2020

The tenth anniversary of the September 2010 earthquake gives the Hororata community time to reflect on what has been ten years of change and how this time has readied them to be resilient in the face of Covid 19. Richard Lang, Lang Chair of the Hororata Community Trust reflects on what has been achieved in this time: “The Hororata Community Trust was formed after the earthquakes, in a time similar to now with Covid 19, where the future was uncertain. We knew we would survive, but the question was how to ensure the community and its people thrived. “This year, on November 7th, the community will celebrate the tenth Hororata Highland Games; originally begun to put Hororata on the map, build community and to fundraise. “The Games have always been about community spirit and pride; developing a strong identity, a sense of place; it is about the wellbeing of our people. 220 people join Clan Hororata every year to make the Games happen. These

people are connected to the area, they are passionate about our community and its future. “From the Games we have been able to think big; it has been the foundation from which the Hororata Tartan, Whisky, Pie and Night Glow have grown. The Games has, and continues to be, a platform for community groups to leverage, fundraise and come together. “Between the Games and the Night Glow in 2019 alone, community groups raised a collective $30,000. for their own causes, while the two festivals attracted 25,000 people to the area (in 2019). Undoubtably Hororata is on the map because of these events and this has had a flow-on effect to all community groups and businesses in the wider area. A University of Canterbury economic study carried out in 2019 found that the Games provide an annual economic benefit of $370,000 to the Selwyn District. “In the past nine years the Trust has invested $150,000 back into the community through various projects and

Page 3

donations. All of this has been possible because of the many people and businesses who are connected to the Trust. “Now our community is working together to decide on what they want their public facilities to look like for future generations. It is really exciting and the level of engagement is awesome. The passionate discussion taking place in the community around this will lead to a strong and supported collective decision. Whatever this decision, the Trust will be there to support the community’s initiatives,” Richard concluded. To commemorate the tenth anniversary of the first Greendale Faultline earthquake the Hororata Community Trust has released a special limited edition Hororata Whisky. In a collector’s edition decanter, the whisky has been specially selected by Sir Alex Bruce of Adelphi Distillery in Scotland and Michael FraserFraser-Milne of Whisky Galore. Both have been valuable supporters of the Hororata Community Trust for a decade.

Spring is in the Air…. Which for us means it’s trailer season. At Darfield Automotive we have four main types of trailers coming through our doors. Standard domestic trailers, boat trailers, horse floats and caravans. This month’s tips will be around trailer maintenance and the preparation of your trailer for use during the warmer months. All trailers have one Achilles heel. Their light connector plug. We suggest before you hook up, check the connection pins in the plug. They should all be straight and the same length. There should also be a split in each pin and if there isn’t this may cause a poor connection. Tip 1. 1 Use a Stanley knife blade to gently open up the split in the pins so you can put a business card into the split. This should be enough to make good contact with the car light socket. #Standard ‘Garden’ trailers There are quite a few trailers on the market that are manufactured overseas and

assembled in New Zealand. Most are very weak and don’t handle what Kiwis use them for. Some cheap trailers have been recalled recently after the draw bars crack and then snap. Tip 2. Don’t leave the grass on the deck of the trailer for too long! We see the front chassis rails rust out because the grass holds moisture and the metal in the chassis is constantly wet, so rusts away. #Boat trailers Getting the boat out of the shed is a sure sign things are warming up. First thing to check are the tyres. If they have been sitting under inflated for a while they can get flat spots or create cracks through the tread. These cracks open up and allow moisture into the steel and fabric belts causing premature tyre failure or blowout. Tip 3. Check the tyre pressures and have a good look around the tread for signs of cracks. The other big issue with boats are their bearings. Tip 4. Give bearings and brakes time to cool before you launch the boat. This will stop thermal shock and the bearing hubs sucking water into the bearings when cooled in water.

#Caravans Apart from the already mentioned lights and tyres tips, most caravans nowadays have brakes. The biggest problem with caravan brakes is lack of use and they seize up. Tip 5. During storage keep the brakes released with wheels free, chock the tyres to prevent the van from rolling away. It may sound silly buAt when the trailer is being used always use the brakes. This keeps the brake components moving as much as possible. #Horse floats These exhibit all the faults rolled into one. Follow the tips around lights and brake use. They can be hard on suspension components because of the weight carried and the frequency of constant year round use. Tip 6. Keep the inside clean, washed and dry after use. Then the floor and chassis won’t rot, or rust. Also check tyre pressures for a smooth ride for your horses.

Happy & safe summer towing!

Prebbleton: Automotive. Prebbleton: Marks Automotive An additional trophy for overall outstanding effort is to be awarded to Lincoln New World. “I was thrilled to see so many communities, schools, shops and individuals getting behind the Paint the Town Yellow event,” commented Selwyn Mayor, Sam Broughton, Broughton who was also one of the judges in the Rolleston area. “To see such a tremendous amount of support will have shown that the people of Selwyn, and across New Zealand, who are facing cancer, or its effects, are not doing so alone,” he said.

Local Darfield Cancer Society spokesperson, Elaine Guy added: “Daffodil Day bucked the trend that this 2020 has set; dawning bright, warm and full of promise! Locals came out in force to support us all over Malvern. For quite a few months prior, behind the scenes, volunteers were busy getting the various collection sites arranged and this year's new initiative by the Cancer Society to get behind Daffodil Day and ‘Paint The Town Yellow’ was met with a fantastic response. Here in Darfield every business that made the effort went all out! I just wish we could have awarded you all a prize. It was an amazing community response and a very difficult decision to make. Collections took place all over Malvern in schools and local businesses and some noteworthy mentions should go to Felix J whose stall

raised $70, Connor and Xavier had a rummage sale in Greendale raising $200, Donna from the Darfield PostShop sold fresh Daffodils all week - all of the proceeds being donated to the local support group and Dr Bill Olds whose property provided more than a dozen big bucket loads of fresh Daffodils kindly donated to the collection stalls. Year on year, you make us proud to be part of this community, another fantastic Daffodil Day with collections in excess of $11,000. Thank you Malvern for your continued support!,” Elaine concluded.

“What a beaut day and superb turnout for the Daffodil Day Fun Run/Walk in Springfield,” commented Ainsley Burton of Rejuvenate You Health, Fitness and Wellbeing. The Event which took place on Sunday, August 30th was run in conjunction with the Cancer Society - Daffodil Day Fun Run/ Walk in Hagley Park. “When Level 2 Covid 19 restrictions, allowed no more than eighty entrants and the wearing of masks at the City event - it became apparent that Springfield locals wanted to stay local and enjoy the little extra freedom that living out

in the country offers,” Ainsley explained. “It certainly paid off as we had over fifty people taking part in either a 2km, 4km, 6km or 8km Run, or Walk around the Springfield Township starting off from the Donut and Playground Domain,” she said. “It was awesome to see so many children on bikes, and a variety of dogs, all enjoying the gorgeous day. While everyone took in the views and beauty that Springfield has to offer,” Ainsley added. “The wind was a good tester coming - head on, into the last leg,” she commented. “Well done everyone who

participated; there were certainly plenty of smiles and laughter to be heard and seen. “There was a lot of positive praise for the event too,” Ainsley reported, “so watch this space for it becoming an annual event. Thank you to everyone who supported the event, mums, dads, grandparents, children and dogs! Along with all those who travelled in from out of Springfield and got involved for a great cause, we raised $1,000 for the Cancer Society,” Ainsley said proudly. “Thank you all very much for your support - it is very much appreciated,” she concluded.

Darfield High School (DHS) has raised an outstanding $12,524.03 for the Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand Foundation from their Shave for a Cure event, which took place on Friday, August 28th. The final total is still increasing as further cash donations are made and the funds from a School mufti day are added. “This is the best we have ever done as a School,” commented current Head Boy

Harry Williamson. Williamson Our previous personal record was in 2016 where we raised $8,000. “The three year hair growth of the School’s 2018 Head Boy George Brown, Brown raised the largest individual total at $1,761,” Harry explained. “I would like to thank all of those who participated in Shave for a Cure and the community who contributed towards the donations, this success wouldn't have been possible without your

generosity,” he said. Sam Forward, Forward Deputy Principal at DHS reported, “it was an incredible effort from our student leaders, particularly Harry and Head Girl Roz who drove the campaign from start to finish. Their leadership is to be commended and was a big part of why we got so many students involved, as well as the grand total.”

With careful planning the local purchasers of the South Malvern School in Whitecliffs are about to create something that will well and truly benefit their community. The School, which was recently offered for sale, came with a sizeable block of land and this is able to be subdivided into building sites. The new owners have applied for titles (which should be released next year) to create five sections, one of which they will build on, while the others will be put on the market. The potential revenue created by this will see the new owners form a Charitable Trust allowing the School building and around 1,800 square metres of land donated to the surrounding community. Understandably the community have been supportive of this plan, knowing they can look forward to holding social events and public meetings in the venue. As with any building of this age, repairs and improvements are necessary to ready it for public use. Already the community are holding fundraisers to assist with the cost of bringing the building up to the necessary standard, but the list of necessities isn’t small. Chimney repairs, painting inside and out, toilet upgrades etc are all needing to be taken care of before it is deemed suitable for use. The heritage listed School dates back to 1883 and was a very forward-thinking design for the era, featuring modern (for the time) ventilation and sanitation. These concepts were the

mark of Christchurch Architect Thomas Stoddart Lambert. Lambert The building had two fireplaces and offered vented heat as the architect was mindful of students’ warmth and the desirability of ventilation to keep students alert for their lessons. South Malvern School was closed in 1960, but the building continued to be used as an outdoor education base by C h r i s tc h u rc h’ s Br a n s to n

Intermediate School until 2014. Both the new owners and the School’s surrounding community are keen to create a history wall once all the hard work is complete.

The hunt is on for two iconic, bush-bashing, riverrunning Toyota Hiluxes that were stars of arguably the most beloved advertising campaign ever in New Zealand; Barry Crump’s Crump 1980’s Toyota Hiluxes. Toyota New Zealand is keen to find the red 1982 Hilux used in the first television commercial starring the unflappable bushman-poet Barry Crump and his sidekick, city slicker Lloyd ‘Scotty Scotty’ Scotty Scott. Scott They are also on the hunt for the yellow 1983 Hilux from the second commercial, which also featured the comedic duo. A new marketing campaign is about to be filmed to launch the new 2021 Hilux and Toyota is looking to include one, or both, of these iconic Hilux vehicles. Toyota New Zealand’s General Manager of Marketing Andrew Davis, Davis said the odds are that both Hiluxes are still going strong, as they are virtually indestructible.

“We know the yellow Hilux was sold on TradeMe in 2016. Someone, somewhere will know who owns either one of these vehicles,” he said. “We may have parted company with them a few decades ago, but we feel we still have an unbreakable bond with them,” he added. The Crumpy and Scotty Hilux commercials were groundbreaking in their day and won many advertising awards. The campaign was so loved and successful, the pairing of the two characters with Hilux continued for twelve years. Recently, the Crumpy and Scotty commercials featured in ‘New Zealand On Screen’s Top 10 TV Ads’ from 1960 - 2020. “Younger viewers who never saw the ads live on telly, can see them online at: www.nzonscreen.com/title/ crumpy-scotty-toyota-ad,” Andrew explained. “Anyone who has an idea where the red, or yellow, Hilux could

Glentunnel school has had many changes since its March 8th, 1879 opening. Back then Glentunnel was called ‘Surveyors’ Gully’. The original School building was situated on what are now tennis courts. On September 17th, 1949 a new block was opened with two rooms. These are currently being refurbished. Other portable buildings have come, and some have gone, over the years. The old dental clinic still remains and is currently being

used as the New Entrants’ room while the renovations are in progress. Around 2007, large trucks brought a classroom and a library space. It wasn’t long before that library was needed as a classroom and another library was built behind the pool and opened in August, 2011.

ServeMe was born after Juanita identified a common concern during a dining-out evening. “I realised I often didn’t order dessert, or have another drink, because the busy wait-staff hadn’t returned to our table within a certain timeframe,” Juanita explained. “Then we’d decide it was late and generally head home,” she said. “It got me thinking that there must be a way to help wait-staff easily identify when a diner was ready

Juanita Devon who designed the ServeMe app is justifiably proud of its success.

to order. As well as a way to provide table service efficiently without taking away from their own unique style of hospitality service,” Juanita said. ServeMe helps hospitality venues capture revenue hidden in lost orders. There are numerous applications the app can assist with; for example, customers who look deep in conversation, but want another round of drinks; or maybe those enjoying drinks outdoors who decide they want snacks, but can’t see staff, so the opportunity passes. “I’ve designed ServeMe’s technology to fit seamlessly into existing hospitality processes. It doesn’t replace anybody - it helps staff capture every order opportunity,” Juanita reported. “While for customers, the app is quick, easy, and fun to use,” she added. “Hospitality staff are clever, efficient, and can juggle an incredible number of tables at a time. But, they aren’t mind readers,” she laughed. With the press of a button, staff are alerted that a table would like attention. “What I’m extremely proud of is ServeMe’s Room Service version. ServeMe is currently

operating in a Christchurch isolation hotel with great success. It has removed the need for daily paper menus, provided the ability to offer guest options and provided the hotel with a safe and efficient method for receiving orders,” Juanita said. “I never intended to go into business, but are proud of this venture. My parents ran a small business and I saw how stressful it was and the long hours, so I decided from a young age that really I didn’t want to go into business for myself - and yet here I am,” she ended with a smile.

L to R: Dave Beatty, Vaughan Wilson, Andrew Inch and Michael Pauling members of the winning Southfuels team in the Windwhistle Golf Classic. We were very fortunate to be able to hold the fifteenth Windwhistle Golf Classic during Level 2 at Methven Golf Club last Friday, August 28th. We had a playing field of 85 golfers to ensure we were compliant with Level 2 requirements. Tournament day dawned mild and sunny with just a mild-ish nor-west at tee-off! This popular annual event is the major fundraiser each year for Windwhistle School. Players enjoyed a delicious morning tea before tee-off and packed snacks on course provided by school parents. This year the sponsors enjoyed a barbecue lunch provided by Southfuels. The Ambrose tournament was hosted at Methven Golf Club this year and the course was enjoyed by all. Following eighteen holes of golf there was an opportunity to unwind and relax in the Clubhouse before the prizegiving and dinner. An auction was also part of the entertainment with George Mannering from Hazlett Rural being the auctioneer for an action-packed offering of donated items such as local experiences, accommodation, meat and art. A silent auction was also popular with ‘friend against friend’ bidding meaning some great funds were raised for the School. The combined auctions were a fantastic

success. A wonderful day out and all in support of a special School. RESULTS: Top Team: Southfuels 2nd: Molloy Agriculture and Sustainable Water 3rd: PGG Wrightson and Canterbury Plains Contracting The winning team from Southfuels managed to score a nine under 62 with a course record (for an Ambrose event) for their efforts. The organising committee and Windwhistle School wish to say

a huge thank you to the many sponsors listed in the advertisement in this issue that played and donated prizes, or money, to the School. A very big thank you also to Methven Golf Club without whom we could not run this tournament. Special thanks to Southfuels who not only entered a team, but also provided the barbecue lunch. Lucy Richards,

Spokesperson for event organisers.

Malvern Community Board Meeting in Darfield, Monday, August 24th, 2020. The Board meeting on Monday was held by Zoom due to the Level 2 Covid-19 restrictions. Board members presented reports on recent community meetings they had attended and also discussed the organisation of the Christmas in the Park event and the Twentieth Anniversary celebration of the signing of the Friendship Agreement with their Japanese sister-city. Council's Group Manager Property, Douglas Marshall, Marshall attended the meeting and updated Board members on a number of major projects underway including the master planning work for the Hororata Reserve, assessment of mowing quality of Council's reserves and cricket grounds and the assessment of the surface quality of all Council's tennis courts. The Board plans to have another community dropdrop-in session in Kirwee from 2:30 to 5pm on Monday, September 14th and this will be advertised shortly. Anyone is welcome to attend and talk to the Board and Council staff about any community concerns, suggestions and ideas. August 27th 2020 was the Twentieth Anniversary of the signing of the Malvern Ward Friendship Agreement with Yubetsu in Hokkaido, Japan. Yubetsu is a farming and fishing area and has much in common with Malvern. This is a very active friendship agreement with regular pupil exchanges between Darfield High School and High Schools in Yubetsu, opportunities for Malvern teachers to spend some time teaching in Yubetsu and adult friendship visits between Malvern and Yubetsu. The celebration was held using a Zoom call between the Selwyn Mayor, Malvern Community Board members, Darfield High School staff and Malvern residents who have hosted Yubetsu students or have visited Yubestsu and Yubetsu Council and community representatives. Speeches were exchanged between John Morten (Chair of the Malvern Community Board), Mr Isida (Mayor of Yubetsu) and Sam Broughton (Mayor of Selwyn). Also present by Zoom and making a speech was Mr Tsunakaka, Tsunakaka the Japanese Consul to New Zealand. This was a friendly, informal celebration to mark a special event and the long-standing relationship between Yubetsu and Malvern. Our thanks to Darfield High School for their hosting and organisation. Members of the public are welcome to attend the Board’s next monthly meeting, or talk to the Board about any issues in their community. Please contact the Board secretary therese.davel@selwyn.govt.nz to make an appointment if you wish to speak. An agenda can be found on the Council website on the Thursday before the meeting. Please be reminded that there is still funding available in the Malvern Community Board Discretionary Fund which can be applied for on the Council’s website at: www.selwyn.govt.nz/services/ fundingfunding-AndAnd-grants/discretionarygrants/discretionary-funding.
