New Zealanders have teamed up with the popular Robert Harris Café network to raise a significant amount in the fight against breast cancer.

Over the last three years, with the help of their customers nationwide, Robert Harris Cafés have reached their target of raising over $100,000 for the New Zealand’s Breast Cancer Foundation.

Recently, customers were able to contribute to the Pink Ribbon Breakfast campaign, simply by ordering off the breakfast menu, where 10% of their purchase was donated to the charity.

Forty two Robert Harris cafes raised over $50,000 this year, resulting in their total contribution to the NZBF being over $115,000.

Breast cancer is the number one cancer for women, with around 3,000 New Zealand women and twenty men being diagnosed each year.

Evangelia Henderson, Chief Executive, New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation, said; “When

We’re so grateful for their support and we’re looking forward to working together again in 2017.” The Rolleston Robert Harris Café got well and truly into the swing of things too - clad in pink (you’ll have to believe us on this!), they worked hard to add their contribution to the amount handed over. In fact the Rolleston Robert Harris Cafe contributed the second highest amount to this year’s donation for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation, out of the 42 participating Cafes. Over a dozen local customers got involved with their friends and family, and hosted their Pink Ribbon Breakfasts at the Café.

So supportive were the local community of the cause it resulted in the Café selling over 1,400 breakfasts alone

throughout the fundraising month.

Fiona Stirling, Stirling owner of the Rolleston Robert Harris Café commented, “we have taken great pride in being involved with the Pink Ribbon breakfast campaign and it has been

wonderful to be able to raise money for the Breast Cancer Foundation. It was a delightful way to christen our new look café, and all the staff loved getting involved and dressing in pink!”

Recently, Rolleston Combined Probus members were guests at the Warehouse South Island Distribution Centre, located in the Izone Industrial Park.

Those attending found it extremely interesting to see how the stock was precisely handled and how both deliveries and orders benefitted from a raft of modern technology.

It was explained that numerous large shipping containers are emptied daily, before the goods are divided into various sections of the Centre. This includes some items lifted onto shelving up to seven storeys high! While other items are transported by conveyor belt, scheduled with many ‘off ramps’ just like railway

junctions/or multi-lane highways. From here goods are ‘picked and packed’ for distribution throughout the South Island. Goods don’t hang about long in the Centre; generally distributed to stores within three days of their arrival.

Probus members were impressed with safety measures and safety clothing implemented by management and which applied throughout the whole complex.

A chance to enjoy morning tea in the modern cafeteria onsite followed the visit, and that and the Centre tour were enjoyed by all who attended.

At the Rolleston June Probus Club meeting, John Park gave

an informative talk on the process of naming the streets of Rolleston. Many of which have their background in the arts painters/writers etc. John amused those present with anecdotes of the artist’s lives.

The meeting’s mini-speaker was Probus member Colleen Barrett who had attended the recent Invictus games as both a parent and supporter of her daughter Josephine, Josephine who was a bronze medal winner.

Rolleston Combined Probus enjoys many informative outings each month designed for interest and fellowship. These are arranged by the Outings Officer of the Club.

The Selwyn Aquatic Centre celebrated their third birthday with pizzazz; with paddle boat races for all ages, inflatable fun, birthday cake and a colouring-in competition there was even an underwater world wall where everyone could add their artwork!

“We would like to thank the Selwyn community for their continued support over the years and also for helping out with the delicious baked goods on Saturday. The bake sale was a big help towards raising funds for St John’s worthy project,” said Connie Dick, Selwyn District Council’s Programme and Events Coordinator. The monies from the fundraiser will be directly donated to St John Rolleston’s current building project.

Fift e en vo lu nt ee rs, t en fundraisers, four Cookathons and 430 meals delivered. These are just some of the major accomplishments that Bellyful Selwyn have achieved in only one year!

Bellyful Selwyn were established on June 9th, 2015 by a group of keen volunteers with a vision to replicate the already successful Bellyful Christchurch.

Some had been volunteers for that organisation, while others had been grateful recipients of meals. Finding other volunteers based in and around Rolleston proved to be not a difficult task.

Due to the power of Facebook, word soon got around about the new programme. Everyone put their hand up for different roles and could offer different qualities, so before long, Bellyful Selwyn was born.

“It's been an amazing year and the team have been fundraising like crazy to become a fully established branch. Bellyful Selwyn had th ei r first ‘Cookathon’ at the Lincoln Events Centre in October 2015 and have been going strong ever since,” enthused Bellyful Selwyn spokesperson, Rachel Rolton.

Rolton With the increase of this area’s population over the last four years, Bellyful made the decision to open a Selwyn branch. This was not only due to the need within Selwyn, but also to take some pressure off the Christchurch branch. In June 2015 Bellyful Selwyn was established as the eighteenth branch of this wonderful nationwide organisation.

Bellyful volunteers cook together about once a month at

a ‘cookathon’ and deliver these meals to families with newborns or families of young children struggling with serious illness. There is no catch, or payment involved. The volunteers do what they do because they understand that these periods in life are hard enough as it is, without having to try and worry about getting dinner on the table.

Search for Bellyful on Facebook for further information.

Keith Taege of Taege Engineering with Joe and Katie Snyder are dwarfed by the massive shipping container destined for Port Vila, Vanuatu if it can be filled with building materials.

So…what is Darfield’s Joe the Handyman doing when he is not building a deck or renovating a bathroom in the area?

He organises mission trips to the beautiful country of Vanuatu, where he and his wife Katie regularly go, to enjoy making a difference in the lives of others. Specifically, children who have been abused, abandoned or are in need of aid.

The vision for the initiative started around two years ago when Katie’s flight to the Pacific nation was rescheduled. She found herself seated next to an ex-pat Kiwi woman on the plane, a plane that she was not scheduled to be on, and a seat she had not planned to be sitting in! Katie and the woman got chatting about their mutual love of Vanuatu - which led to Katie being informed about the darker side of the Island.

Young girls who had been

raped, sometimes via incest, and through no fault of their ow n fo un d them se lv e s pregnant. These girls felt so ostracised by their community that they would go deep into the jungle, deliver the baby alone and then leave it there to die.

“ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Agency) is working on education, but deeply engrained attitudes are hard to shift,” Katie added.

Katie was deeply affected by this heart-wrenching information and after researching it further, felt determined to do something to help these children. Katie’s plane companion told her of a woman in Vanuatu with a wonderful vision for a refuge centre. Just months before her life-changing plane trip, Katie had learned that she was to receive an inheritance from her uncle. She felt compelled to use this and start an orphanage in

Vanuatu and now her vision is becoming a reality.

“Last year in conjunction with others, some land was purchased close to Port Villa, on the main island of Efate, Vanuatu,” Katie said. “There is currently a small team working on getting building construction started, but we need materials desperately.

Taege Engineering of Sheffield and its owner Keith Taege have purchased a 40ft insulated container and are going to send it out to Vila in late July. Right now building materials are urgently needed for the project.

“Maybe you have something lying around you no longer need, or perhaps you would be willing to donate some funds to purchase materials,” Katie said. “If you have the heart and resources to help, please visit www.elhaven.com to find out more,” she finished.

On June 12th, the Intermediate School’s Trampolining Competition took place in Rangiora and competing were four keen and proficiently springy students, representing Clearview School.

Willow Mountford is primarily a trampolinist herself, but is so passionate about the sport that she also manages to find time between her own practices, to coach the other three members of the Clearview trampolining team; Sophie Parker, Parker Sarah Faulkner and Emma Jackson.

The girls had a great run and the talented team took out overall first place at the event.

Willow then went on to compete at the South Island Trampoline Championships held at Olympia

REVIEW FIREARMS SAFETY

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING YOUR SPOUTING CLEANED AS PART OF YOUR ANNUAL MAINTENANCE? Blocked spouting can cause many problems around your home. Poorly kept spouting can flood water into your soffits (the exposed undersurface of any exterior over-hanging section of a roof eave) if the water cannot drain out quickly enough. Birds drop seeds in the guttering which start to grow into plants and block them off completely. Leaves and dirt soon build up and restrict water flow. With metal spouting, water sitting for long periods of time or held in the dirt, may cause rust if the metal coating has been damaged, or at the joints. For builders who have just built a new home, a pre-occupancy clean out of the spouting is a great way of ridding it of bits of roofing, tile pieces, and loose screws etc.

Some people call us about mosquitos, which can easily breed in wet conditions in spouting. Our new industrial vacuum system can easily clean single and two storey homes from the ground, without the use of ladders or scaffolding. This no -mess, very efficient system is a reasonably new concept in New Zealand. It uses a 3,300 watt vacuum system, with a digital camera (enabling the spouting to be seen into). Please give us a call for a free quote; making a horrible job for home owners, into a nohassle operation!

Police are asking people to review their firearms’ security following a spate of firearms targeted burglaries in the Selwyn District. The Arms Act 1983 sets out the minimum security requirements that firearms owners must meet for the safe and secure storage of their firearms. However, with burglars targeting firearms, it may be time for owners to take responsibility for introducing extra precautions rather than relying solely on the minimum requirements to deter thieves.

In some recent cases where firearms have been stolen, gun safes have not been locked or keys to gun safes have been left near the safe or on easily visible key hooks. In other cases, flimsy gun safes or makeshift safes such as old metal lockers have been easily forced open. Of equal concern is that in the past six months several firearms have been stolen after being left insecure in vehicles, homes and outbuildings which is contrary to the provisions of the Arms Act.

There is a ready market for stolen firearms in this country, and Police believe many of these stolen weapons will end up in the hands of organised crime gangs dealing in methamphetamine. Two of the most common firearms types in New Zealand are the shotgun and the .22, and most gun owners, particularly farmers, will have one or both types. A problem with these guns is that they are so commonplace and used so often, the security around them is frequently overlooked. Unfortunately, they are also the firearm types most favoured by criminals because they are so easily converted to a pistol length. All it takes is half an hour and some judicious work with a hacksaw. No gun owner would want to live with the fact that a firearm they failed to properly secure was used in the commission of a crime. A purpose built metal gun safe, properly secured and heavily anchored to the building is best, along with proper security around any keys.

Ideally, an alarm system should be installed as well, particularly

the type that will alert a cell phone should the alarm activate. This is particularly useful because most burglaries happen during the day when occupiers are away at work. The Arms Act requires a minimum standard of security be met, but that minimum is becoming obsolete. Rather than doing nothing because minimum standards have been met, a review of the security arrangements in place, may be well overdue. However, the best security in the world is no good if it is not used.. Lock firearms away when not in use and do not le ave a ny fire arm unattended in a vehicle. Speak to the local Police for information on how to better secure firearms.

ROAD SAFETY Selwyn District is overly represented in the number of vehicle crashes that occur on New Zealand roads and Selwyn Police want to reduce that number. Many of these crashes have been caused by nothing more than a poor standard of driving. Failing to drive to the conditions, impatient and inconsiderate drivers, inattentive drivers, failing to stop at Stop signs, failing to properly check the way is clear at intersections or when turning, and drifting across the centre-line are all too frequent causes of crashes. Tragically, it is often a completely innocent party who becomes a victim when a crash occurs. Selwyn Police’s message to drivers is; To always drive defensively and to expect the unexpected, particularly around intersections where many of the crashes occur. Always drive to the conditions, concentrate on the driving and be patient and tolerant of other road users, and always be aware that while speed and alcohol are the major killers, the way drivers’ drive is the most important factor in keeping them and their passengers safe.

At this time of year, the low sun is a particular hazard and sunstrike is a very real danger. If a driver cannot see properly, they should pull over and stop until they can. They should not keep going in the hope others will avoid them. The full onset of winter often arrives in July and August and once it does it will see the return of black ice on the roads. This is an extreme hazard which drivers need to be very aware of, particularly around the Selwyn District - it is a known and all too frequent cause of serious crashes.

Motorists need to stay alert to the ever-present danger of stock wandering on Selwyn roads, particularly at night and in bad weather when visibility is reduced. Police receive reports of wandering stock almost daily and in many cases, usually at night, an animal is hit and a car severely damaged. Worse still, within Selwyn there have been serious and fatal injuries to motorists caused by hitting straying stock. Black or dark coloured animals, particularly at night along unlit country roads, can appear as if out of nowhere and at 100kph, drivers have almost no time to react. Again, the message is drive to the conditions. Reduce speed accordingly at night and in wet weather, this gives drivers the greatest chance of avoiding a crash. Additionally, livestock owners need to take all reasonable steps to ensure their properties are securely and adequately fenced for the type of stock they have. Police recommend road gates are secured by a chain and padlock to lessen the chances of a gate being opened without the property owner’s knowledge.

‘TADS’ Ted W, Aydan S, Daisy M and Stacey M. Sunday, June 19th saw a flock of costumed teens and teachers attend the annual Mud Run and amongst them were many from Selwyn. The event, organised by the University of Canterbury, invites all secondary schools across the greater Christchurch and Canterbury region to take part.

This year Sport Canterbury invited Selwyn schools to also send teams of Intermediate students to compete in the event.

“On the day there were over 1,000 students and teachers competing, in three events: Boys, Mixed and Girls’ teams,” reported Rita Spadoni of West Melton Primary School. “The students were encouraged to dress up, with a 'Best Dressed' parade before the event even started.”

The Mud Run is a five kilometre, off road, obstacle course through mud, mud pits, mud slides, hurdles and pipes.

Entrants are encouraged to compete as a team and finish together. The event is popular among teens as participants do not need sporting or athletic experience; it's all about 'having a go’, ‘having fun with friends’ and getting extremely muddy in the process!

West Melton Primary School were super excited with the result of their ‘TADS’ team (Ted, Ted,

Aydan, Daisy and Stacey) Stacey who competed in the mixed teams section and came in at first place. 'TADS' competed against 35 Secondary and Intermediate school pupils at the Motukarara Mud Run to arrive at the finish muddied and with a much deserved win. The team competed with lots self belief, encouragement and teamwork, ran the whole course, and emerged victorious.

Mrs. Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in Dublin when she, met up with Father Flaherty.

The Father said, “Top o' the mornin' to ye! Aren't ye Mrs. Donovan and didn't I marry ye and yer Hoosband two years ago?”

She replied, “aye, that ye did, Father.”

The Father asked, “and be there any wee little ones yet?”

She replied, “no, not yet, Father.”

The Father said, “well now, I'm going to Rome next week and I'll light a fertility candle for ye and yer hoosband.”

She replied, “oh, thank ye, Father…”

They then parted ways.

Some years later they met again. The Father asked, “well now, Mrs. Donovan, how are ye these days?”

She replied, “oh, very well, Father!”

The Father asked, “and tell me, have ye any wee ones yet?”

She replied, “oh yes, Father! Two sets of twins and six singles, ten in all!”

The Father said, “that's wonderful! And how is yer loving hoosband doing?”

She replied: “E's gone to Rome to blow out yer freakn' candle.”
