Hororata Parish's big Labour weekend, has lifted the spirits of the community and raised much needed funds. Starting on a hot Saturday, the Agri Arty Party and Auction, in the wonderful gardens at Homebush, was attended by over 100 people. "We were

blown away by the incredible garden art that the very talented people in our community created. The Auction was full of drama and laughter with the auctioneer, Simon Muir, Muir keeping bidders on their toes.

Deans Ray Bryant with his creation ‘Peeky Grinders' took out the committee award for most creative use of stone and John Ballagh's stunning piece ‘Crystal Eyes' received the top bid in the Auction.

The Hororata Parish Spring Fair

followed on Monday, but under completely different skies, with rain showers drifting across the Hororata Domain during the day. "The Spring Fair is always a happy day for our community and it would take more than a little rain to dampen spirits," said Fair organiser Lucy Cookson.

purpose to strive for, a reason to get out of bed in the morning, and a way to develop more independence and financial freedom.

Demand for bulk products has resulted in an expansion of production! All bulk range products are manufactured in their Christchurch based facility.

They make high quality, NZ made, eco-friendly cleaning products. No nasty chemicals are used and no testing was done on animals. They are the only eco range of cleaning products in NZ using 100% recycled NZ milk bottles, filled and packed by people with disabilities.

The employees with disabilities front the team and feature on the labels. They fill the bottles, put the lids and caps on and apply the label, all by hand.

They then package them up and send them off.

“We even helped draw the logos on the sides of the bottles. We are proud of who we are and what we have done,” said one of the team.

“You can order a starter kit from Johnny Fresh, either instore or via email for $45.

By re-using your bottles over and over again, you are helping the environment,” said Johnny.

As well as introducing new initiatives, another Johnny Fresh store will soon be opening, on the corner of Buchanans and Pound Road, near Yaldhurst.

For the Darfield customers, that will mean, a larger variety of produce will be seen out this way, at great prices.

The Te Huanui’s November exhibition ‘Feathered Friends’ showcases the finely tuned skills of Mark Duggan, Duggan Blanche Fryer, Fryer Tricia Hewlett, Hewlett David Lloyd, Lloyd Janie Porter and Henry Turner across their chosen mediums.

Opening from 6pm, Friday, 30th October, ‘Feathered Friends’ will be running until Thursday, 26th November.

darks that recreate features and forms. Surrounded by the Hinewai Reserve, Banks Peninsula, Tricia is inspired by the birds and critters she interacts with daily, living next to the wildlife reserve.

DAVID LLOYD: David has been creating since he emigrated to New Zealand in 1972 from England, with metal work skills forming his sculptures, mainly in copper.

David’s inspiration comes from his dismay at the lack of birdsong in our forests and our native bird populations dwindling, due to introduced predators and farming and urbanisation.

MARK DUGGAN: Mark’s career as a draughtsman holds him in good stead with his precisely drawn works in pen and ink. As a self-taught artist, Mark’s inspiration for his series of works comes from the beauty and distinct personality of birds, their sense of freedom and duality of awkwardness and JANIE PORTER: elegance.

Janie is known for her work in portraiture, landscape and BLANCHE FRYER: Blanche’s multi-faceted creative birds. While working in various career in ceramics, crafts and mediums, usually a palette knife, painting are often combined she is constantly experimenting into her individual pieces, with transparency and form. bringing a sense of humour to Janie has lived almost her entire her work. Blanche’s inspiration life near the sea, currently comes from the birdlife in her Banks Peninsula and has loved backyard of Southbridge and and observed birds since she the joy it brings, leaving her was a child. counting her blessings and HENRY TURNER: highlighting the importance of Henry works across gouache, respecting our environment. sculpture and printmaking.

Henry’s current pursuit is based TRICIA HEWLETT: Tricia works predominantly in upon the idea that, from time graphite, building layer upon to time, it is necessary to look layer to create the lights and further than one can see. Then

The Dutton Garage Malvern Car Run is normally held over ANZAC Weekend, but was postponed due to Covid.

The organisers of the third annual event are thrilled that they are able to be part of the Hororata Highland Games on Saturday, 7th November instead.

Many long forgotten brands such as Etoile, Alldays and Onions, Wolseley, Oldsmobile, Swift and Nazzaro, are just some from early motoring history expected to form a display of very rare cars, some of which are sole remaining examples.

Leading these cars into the arena will be two Scottish vehicles, a 1912 Albion Truck, and a 1905 Argyll car, both of which are of special significance to the Games, as they are two of the three brands built in Scotland, by companies formed around 1899.

New Zealanders ‘can do’ attitude and relative isolation in the early days of motoring,

Bruce and Shirley Shadbolt, in their 1904 L’Etoile will be amongst the many visitors at the Hororata Highland Games. has ensured that a good number of cars were kept in useable condition, when in many countries they were very quickly becoming obsolete and being scrapped and replaced with newer models.

Components such as engines and gearboxes were also often recycled, and it was not uncommon for an early engine to be put to use in a saw bench, or to drive a generator, thus

ensuring its survival to be reunited with its original car, during a later restoration.

All cars that will be on display at Hororata are a credit to their owners, and show that the art of restoration in New Zealand is alive, well, and comparable to the absolute best in the world.

Visitors to the Hororata Highland Games will be most welcome to view the display, and talk to the vehicle’s owners.

INTERNATIONAL SUPER, CLASSIC, COLLECTABLE CAR SALES INTERNATIONAL SUPER, CLASSIC, COLLECTABLE CAR SOURCING Dutton Garage is a prestige automotive retailer based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Originally founded in Melbourne Australia, the Dutton brand itself is synonymous with a rich auto racing history. Since its new acquisition, the Dutton Group has created new dealerships and partners across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Since opening our doors in Christchurch we have been astounded by the love and passion for motorsport and historic cars that the community collect around the country.

We are proud to be supporting the Malvern Car Run and are looking forward to meeting fellow enthusiasts that will be joining the rally.

Property Brokers, Charity Golf Tournament Event Organiser, Jannetta Thomas presented a cheque to Selwyn St John area Chair, Ann Shepherd.

Friday, October 16th, was a day of sunshine and fun at the Hororata Golf Club, for the annual Property Brokers Charity Golf Tournament, in aid of St John Selwyn.

Twenty-five teams of four registered this year, with golfers of all levels filling the golf course to its capacity. Our youngest player was only eight years old.

The feedback every year is always positive, and the support that the players give to the raffles and auction, as well as the entry fee, is what makes this event so successful.

Property Brokers generously donated continuous food and refreshments, for all the players and volunteers during the day.

The St John team baked up a storm for afternoon tea, and the incredible generosity of all our sponsors enable us to have

prizes for every single player, excellent raffles and an amazing auction. There are too many of them to name, but an extremely huge thank you to all of you that supported this wonderful cause, we all appreciate you so much.

This year we raised just under $7,000 for St John Selwyn, which is our record to date. It seems this charity golf tournament is getting bigger and better each year, and is an event I am incredibly proud of.

Money raised will be air marked for the provision of First-Aid classes for the community and to support the five youth divisions in Selwyn.

Selwyn area Chair, Ann Shepherd mentions, “without the support of Property Brokers Real Estate, it would be a lot more difficult to supply services to the community, and in light of the funding issues St John are

currently facing, this cash injection is priceless.”

Jannetta Thomas, Property Brokers, Charity Golf Tournament, Event Organiser.

The Malvern Community Patrol will be holding a public mee>ng at the Darfield Recrea>on Centre, that businesses and residents are strongly advised to aAend. The mee>ng will discuss the viability of placing CCTV (closed-circuit television) cameras in strategic areas around the Malvern district, to help combat rising crime.

Errol Ashby from the Malvern Community Patrol, has approached approximately forty businesses in the Malvern area so far, and he has received one hundred percent posi>ve feedback. “Your aAendance at this mee>ng is vital, I look forward to seeing as many community members there as possible,” Errol added.

Senior Sergeant Stephen McDaniel (Area Manager Preven>on), Senior Sergeant Dean Harker (Area Response Manager Selwyn) and the local police will be in aAendance, along with Ken Eccles from Nelson, who will explain the workings of monitored CCTV cameras, with number plate recogni>on.

Senior Sergeant Dean Harker commented, “In the last few weeks, I have been able to aAend mee>ngs with our local community patrols. The Malvern Community Patrol is based in Darfield and looks aFer the Malvern area, and the Lincoln Selwyn Patrol covers Lincoln, Prebbleton, West Melton and other towns within our district.”

“The Selwyn Community Patrols are volunteer organisa>ons, working in coopera>on with the New Zealand Police. The patrols operate during the day, and at night to help make our communi>es safe. The patrols act as the ‘eyes and ears’ for the police, but don’t have any jurisdic>on beyond that,” he explained.

“All community patrol members undergo training and are assessed prior to joining their teams. The patrols themselves are regularly provided with areas to cover by the police,” he added.

“Members work on a roster system, and just help with the patrols whenever they can, for some people it may be as liAle as one evening or day per month,” he said.

“Police heavily rely on community patrols throughout New Zealand, and our local teams do a fantas>c job! Both patrols are currently looking for new members, or dona>ons to help them func>on. If you are keen on joining up or have any other enquires, contact your local police sta>on, and we can pass your details on,” Dean commented.

“On our police district staffing front, we have just interviewed and recommended two new police staff to work in the district carrying out Road Policing du>es, these staff will be on the roads throughout the en>re Selwyn area,” he concluded.

The Malvern Community Patrol, in conjunction with NZ Police, will be holding a Public Meeting for Businesses & Residents...

We will discuss the viability of placing CCTV Cameras in strategic areas, to help combat rising crime…. THIS IS VITAL TO US ALL!

"All the traditional fair fun was stall and Country Auction, as well The young and young-at-heart played in the soft archery field and the weather didn't even deter the sack racers.

The fun was all topped off by a yummy burger or bacon buttie from the barbeque."

Sam Hardy won the Vicar's Choice in the Creative Kids Competition, with the theme flowing on from the Agri Arty Party, of using rocks or stones and Emily Richards won the Spring Colouring.

"All in all it has been a massive weekend for everyone involved in these two events. But it has all been worth it to see the smiling faces and people enjoying the opportunity to relax and enjoy each other's company.

Both events will go a long way to funding the Parish's work in the community, with pastoral care for all, being at the centre of what the Vicar does.

Thank you to everyone who gave their time, their creative skills, the businesses who Tom Daly flying in the sack race at Hororata sponsored us and the many Domain on Monday at the St John Parish Spring Fair. and varied the ways that people made this all happen we are blessed and grateful to be surrounded by such a generous community," Lucy mentioned, on behalf of the Hororata Parish.

Members were treated to a wonderful day out, visiting the Greendale district.

The Waianiwa Homestead, was just blooming with beautiful rhododendrons, peonies, dogwoods, azaleas, shrubs, and magnificent trees, some dating back one hundred and fifty years. A delight was the large pond, complete with paradise ducks and ducklings.

Next door was another impressive garden at the home of, Ruth and Ian Warren.

Warren They expressed the love of their garden, after the many years they have worked on developing it. A real surprise was the sunk in, outdoor seating area, that was previously the swimming pool. Established trees and shrubs along with a peaceful pond, made us all want to linger a little longer.

Our final visit was to the WT Adams Arboretum, where Lorraine Adams gave an informative insight into the life of WT Adams and his family. We enjoyed walking around the Arboretum, finding the remains of the old sod cottage, walking through the original nursery, and finding the trees planted by members of the Adams family over the years.

The weather was kind and members enjoyed being able to get out and about again.

Our next meeting will be held on November 3rd, at the Darfield Recreation Centre, where we will hear Dawn Eagle speak on the topic of roses.

New members, are always welcome.

By Anna Bensemann, Senior Submissions may relate to how be considered through the Planner, Baseline Group. the plan change could affect decision process and are better

Selwyn District Council is currently processing many District Plan Change requests in Darfield, Kirwee, West Melton and Leeston. Landowners are wanting larger areas of land, adjoining townships, rezoned to residential or business zones.

The Council is also working on a whole District Plan Change review, due for release later this year. With each of these plan changes, the public is invited to make submission to provide comments on specific features, and to set out if the submission is in support of opposition of the proposed changes.

Making a good submission will ensure that your views, and opinions are heard by the decision makers, and you get some meaningful improvements.

To make a submission that simply states you do not want development in your neck of the woods, is likely to result in little credibility being afforded to the submission. Often you are making a submission because you feel strongly about your concerns, and it can be difficult to separate your strong feelings from the facts that support your submission. However, the facts are what the Council decision makers will be considering.

your own property; in which case you could include specific examples of your concerns.

These need to be realistic examples, and not fanciful, or they may be classed as irrelevant and ignored.

Your submission may relate to wider community concerns, such as how our towns and settlements will be able to grow, because of a change to the zoning or other district plan rules. Common concerns include rate of growth, the effect this has on the character of the town and its interface with the wider rural environment, the ability to provide infrastructure to these areas in the future, or the effect that such infrastructure will have on the wider township.

It is important to fully understand what is being proposed before making a submission, so your concerns are relevant to the changes proposed. For example, if a specific area is to be rezoned, your submission should not relate to a lack of infrastructure provided elsewhere in the district, as this is not relevant to the matter at hand. Any concerns that are not relevant to the plan change area, cannot

raised at community meetings, or with elected officials to generate meaningful change.

The person seeking the plan change, including if Council themselves are proposing the change, may offer up solutions to the issues raised by your submission. Its important to consider these solutions in a genuine manner as this is an opportunity to seek an improved solution and have it imbedded into the plan change.

So, if you are thinking of making a submission to a plan change, a fact filled, clear, concise submission that includes a request for changes, will be well received by decision makers and lead to genuine changes to future development of plan change areas.

Weeks of nor’westers, followed by a freezing southerly and shocking frosts, did not spoil the look of Terrace Station’s garden for the many visitors in October. The star performer this month was Paeonia Mlokosewitschii - commonly known as ‘Molly the Witch’, which has a single, large, scented, lemon-coloured flower.

Sunday, November 1st, will be the final open day this spring. Aquilegias, foxgloves, irises, and poppies will be on show, along with other paeonies, such as Paeonia Veitchii, another very rare treasure. Our visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic to enjoy on the lawns, where there is always a sheltered spot. The specially created walkway highlights massive sequoias and oaks, with other magnificent old trees, such as; acer maples, linden limes, holm

oaks, and cedars all-round the gardens. Historic farming and gardening equipment, along with nineteenth century domestic items, are displayed in the renovated summerhouse.

Children will enjoy foraging in the woods to find unusual leaves, and cones, with the assistance of a guide sheet.

Many woodland plants will be for sale, along with some giveaways. The $5 adult entry fee goes to the Terrace Station Charitable Trust, children enter free.

Please note that there is no Eftpos.

The children got stuck in planting a range of seedlings, and then had the opportunity to learn Harakeke weaving, with Aunty Daphne, Daphne from Ngāti Moki Marae.

This is the second time Sam has joined forces with Te Ara

Kākāriki and one of the sixteen enviroschools, in Selwyn District.

Last month he joined Glentunnel School children, as they planted the 100,000th native seedling, in support of Te Ara Kākāriki’s aim of restoring biodiversity to Canterbury, through the creation of a native Greenway corridor, linking the mountains to the sea, and Te Waihora.

Lou Drage from Te Ara Kākāriki said, “the children have done a great job, we genuinely couldn’t do this without their help. It’s also great to have Sam on

On Wednesday, October 14th, 2020 Windwhistle School had a highly successful Kids Discovery Plant-Out Day, in conjunction with Te Ara Kākāriki and Enviroschools. “A huge thanks to Lou from Te Ara Kākāriki, Matt from Enviroschools, the parent volunteers, staff, and children. We managed to plant a total of 216 natives in our Miro Grove native area,” commented Windwhistle School Principal, Bronwen Seaward. “We also learnt a lot about the flora and fauna here at Windwhistle School, Te Uru Miro. It will be exciting to watch our forest grow over the next few years - we hope the next generation will appreciate our hard work,” Bronwen concluded.

L-R: Flossie H and Jesse W, enjoyed planting natives in the Miro Grove.

board with our projects, it really helps draw attention to our work, and encourages others to take part.”

The Springfield township, have a clear vision for their reserve and have already planted over 1,000 seedlings, with help from local community. They are currently installing a fitness trail in the reserve, and have plans to develop the area into an even more family friendly setting, by adding a picnic area and a cycling activity track.

“It’s terrific to see the children out in the sun, making a difference for their community, learning about the environment and really enjoying themselves,” he added. Sam talked to the children at the start and explained how important what they were doing, was for future generations. “I hope that one day, your children will come back to this spot and enjoy a picnic with their children, in the shade of the trees you are planting today,” Sam concluded.

DARFIELD BASED

The elderly Skipper noticed a new seaman one day and barked at him.

“Get over here! “What is your name?” was the first thing the Skipper asked the new guy.

“Paul.” The new guy replied.

The elderly Skipper scowled. “Look, I don’t know what kind of bleeding-heart, liberal pansy stuff they’re teaching sailors in boot camp today, but I don’t call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my sailors by their last name only – Smith, Jones, Baker – That’s all. I am to be referred to only as Skipper. Do I make myself clear?”

“Aye, aye, Skipper.”

“Good! Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?”

The new guy sighed and said. “Darling.

My name is Paul Darling, Skipper.”

“Okay………….. Paul,……..here’s what I want you to do.”
