Twelve year old Clearview Primary School student Ella Benn has recently returned from the 2016 New Zealand Short Course Championships, which was held in Auckland from October 2nd to 6th.

Qualifying alongside over 600 competitors from New Zealand, Australia, Egypt and the United Kingdom, Ella was the youngest competitor of the para swimmers with ages in this class ranging from fourteen to sixteen years.

Ella swam her heats with able bodied athletes and her finals with para-athletes. She had outstanding results coming home with six silver medals and one bronze in the S10* competition. There are three types of classification: physical (S1-S10*), visual (S11-S13) and intellectual (S14).

Classification provides a structure for competition.

Athletes competing in Paralympic sports have an impairment that leads to a competitive disadvantage in sport.

Consequently, a system has to be put in place to minimise the

impact of impairments on sport performance and to ensure the success of an athlete is determined by skill, fitness, power, endurance, tactical ability and mental focus. This system is called classification.

“Ella has always been quite sporty,” said her mum Sandi, “and had just run for Canterbury in Cross country when she was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma of her left femur. This was three years ago and she underwent aggressive chemotherapy and a special type of amputation of her left leg called Rotationplasty. As soon as treatment finished eleven months later, she got in the pool and started swimming (something she loved previously). Ella swims in Squads with the Waitaha swim Club at the Canterbury Swim School. She qualified for the 2016 NZ Short Course Champs on her para times, through swim meets throughout the year.

“It was great for her to meet other para swimmers,

Canterbury’s self-proclaimed town of the future marked its 150th anniversary last weekend with a busy three days of celebrations.

Jeff Bland, Bland chairman of the Rolleston 150th organising committee, said he was ‘rapt’ with the event, which included a large parade through the town on Sunday.

“It was such a great atmosphere and so many people said they would love to do it all again next year,” Jeff commented.

About 300 people attended the anniversary’s opening event on Friday, October 14th. On the Saturday, paddocks at the northern end of the town, were transformed to accommodate two events - Rolleston Show and CultureFest.

The Rolleston Show featured vintage and classic cars, as well as trains, to celebrate Rolleston’s history with the railway. The Rolleston Show and the 150th anniversary was organised by a committee of Rolleston residents.

CultureFest showcased the district’s cultures with free performances, fun activities, craft and food stalls, along with activities for children like a mega slide, SNAG inflatable golf, bouncy castles and Pedalmania.

The activity programme included performances from local Indian, Chinese, Polish, Russian, Italian and Greek communities, as well as a Scottish flash mob!

“Each group brought an unique experience from their culture.

connections between different communities and raise the profile of arts and culture in Selwyn, something that has been a goal of the Council as part of its Newcomers and Migrants Strategy,” said Dave Tippett, Tippett Selwyn Council Senior Events and Recreation Advisor.

Activities on show included Turkish Ceramics, Oriental Ink Painting, and Bhangra - a style of Indian Dance. Meanwhile guests greatly enjoyed the opportunity to try cuisine from the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

CultureFest was presented by the Selwyn District Council with support from the Christchurch Multicultural Council, Canterbury Migrants Centre, The Rotary Club of Lincoln, Rolleston Newcomers Network and Smokefree Aotearoa NZ. Jeff estimated up to 10,000 people attended the festivities, which were capped off with a ‘superb’ parade through town

on Sunday.

“It’s the biggest grand parade I have seen. This is a parade that took an hour to go past one point. It was huge.”

Jeff added that there was a lot of enthusiasm to hold similar events alongside the town’s annual fireworks evening in November.

Rolleston was named for Canterbury’s last provincial superintendent, William Rolleston.

Rolleston It was once a small railway junction, where the West Coast railway line leaves the main line. A 1972-74 plan for a substantial ‘new town’ was abandoned, but Rolleston has since grown swiftly and now has a population of nearly 15,000.

The town’s pronunciation has puzzled some Selwyn residents.

Speaking at the anniversary weekend’s opening, William Rolleston’s great grandson said Rolleston, usually said Roll-eston, should be pronounced Rolls-ton.

Prebbleton Crafts & More Market To say they’re ‘looking forward’ to the opening of their beautiful, purpose designed, West Melton beauty therapy premises is an understatement. The Salon is situated in the new block of Shops opposite West Melton Primary School on Weedons Ross Road.

“We just can’t wait to open,” said Jayne Redmond co-owner of Affinity Beauty and Body Care with her twin sister Sarah Barnard.

Barnard “We love working together and firmly believe our varied backgrounds and many years of involvement in the health and beauty industry will provide an unique beauty experience to West Melton,” the pair said.

Jayne, who has thirteen years of experience in the beauty and spa industry both in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, will be well known to many in the district as she (and Sarah) was born and brought up in Selwyn. On returning home to Darfield from overseas, Jayne opened her first beauty salon in 2007 establishing a strong and loyal base of clients in Selwyn. The loyalty of her clients is entirely justified, as the twins provide a professional, friendly, level of expertise, enjoyed and valued by those who patronise them.

Sarah’s wealth of knowledge comes from her background in pharmaceuticals and beauty.

Both Jayne and Sarah feel this combination provides the Salon with an invaluable range of knowledge covering health and well-being, particularly in relation to skin care solutions.

“Skin health is an area that we are passionate about and we

are confident we can obtain outstanding results,” Sarah added.

Both Jayne and Sarah are eagerly looking forward to opening the doors to their new Salon which contains three specialist areas, two of which are set up to offer complete nail and foot care and pampering.

Jayne and Sarah will be joined by Amy, Amy who is also fully qualified, at the new Salon and are looking forward to sharing their amazing range of products with clients.

“We use and love Pure Fiji body products, and our skin range is Nimue, which we have used for almost ten years. We find it is right up to date with skin care

technology and gives amazing results, making it very popular with our clients. Our makeup is the Australian Curtis Collection; it's a really exciting range and incredibly on-trend with colours and current styles.

“The new Salon will provide a beautiful, relaxing, environment with a full range of beauty services, tranquil rooms and a luxury purpose-built manicure and pedicure area,” Jayne and Sarah concluded.

As well as the pleasure of opening their new Salon, both Jayne and Sarah commented that they are really looking forward to welcoming and meeting new clients, getting to know them and getting to know their needs and requirements.

Zac Christensen with his trophies won at the South Island Championships.

Clearview Primary School student, twelve year old Zac Christensen was understandably proud of his win at the South Island Sprint Championships held at labour weekend, and hosted by KartSport Canterbury.

Zac fought a hard Battle for the South Island Title and finished the race four seconds ahead of second place. He also got the track record on the same day.

Zac, who races in the Junior Restricted class, has had a great year, winning many events

around the South Island including the Mainland Series, Southern Series, Spirit of the Nation Southland and the Jason Richards Memorial meeting in Nelson. Zac also races regularly in the North Island and finished fourth overall in the WPKA series run across the four tracks in the bottom half of the North Island.

Zac’s goal now is to win a New Zealand title at the 2017 Easter Nationals hosted by KartSport Invercargill.

To continue in the sport Zac would love the support of local businesses, and hope they will see it as a great opportunity to

support a future superstar.

“In the last twelve months Zac has won multiple events in his class,” said proud mum Shona Christensen.

Christensen “He took out first placing in nine extremely intense races. This included the Invercargill Spirit of the Nation which was raced in both normal direction and reverse. Add to that the Enduro meeting when he lapped the whole field - in 48 laps.

“Zac’s next big competition is the Nationals in Invercargill, where competitors from throughout New Zealand will vie for honours,” Shona concluded.

Darfield Artweek’s opening night was held Friday October 7th with the exhibition running until the following weekend, at the Darfield Recreation Centre.

At the exhibition’s conclusion, and when all votes were counted, the winner of the People’s Choice award was announced: it went to Jill Jackson of Rolleston.

The Devro Great New Zealand Sausage Awards were held on Thursday, October 13th at the Auckland Fresh Factory.

Rolleston New World were understandably proud to have won not only the coveted People’s Choice Award, but also a Gold Medal in the Gourmet Pork category, with their Pork and Tasmanian Apple Cider sausage.

The winning sausages competed in a field of 500 entries sent to Retail Meat NZ

and judged anonymously. The People’s Choice Award was for the most popular sausage judged at a public voting event.

“Particular congratulations go to New World Rolleston owners Roy and Lynne Bridgman, Bridgman and their butchery manager Neal Algar and his team, for earning the People’s Choice Award.

Supermarkets thrive on community feedback and support, so to be voted the best by the public is high praise indeed,” commented Tim

Neal Algar (right) accepting the award from Brian Tilbrook, Devro NZ.

HAVE INTEREST RATES BOTTOMED OUT? If you have lending on current floa ng rates, it will s ll be less than we could have reasonably expected a couple of years ago. However the pundits are now saying our glory days could be coming to an end and that banks are going to halt the downward trend of lending rates in favour of bolstering the deposit rates. Without deposits, banks have to source money from abroad, thus increasing the costs of funding. It could be hoped they can achieve a good balance between healthy deposit rates for investors and low interest rates for borrowers.

However we have seen some movement from banks in the last week in raising their ‘special’ rates, and so it may be me to look at fixing that floa ng loan. As always, I suggest spreading your risk over a couple of different terms and if there is any chance of being able to add in a lump sum via bonus’s etc, then leave a por on floa ng to avoid penal es.

Speak with your mortgage adviser soon to discuss all your op ons.

Donaldson, Donaldson Foodstuffs South Island General Manager.

Neal, the New World Rolleston Butchery Manager added that he’s been making sausages for the past ten years and the award is recognition for all his hard work, as well as that of his butchery team.

“I came up with the idea for this sausage, but making it was a real team effort,” Neal said.

“Together we tweaked, tasted and perfected the recipe, and it’s the team who actually make the final product, which isn’t easy because it’s handcrafted.”

“I also want to congratulate all the other winning butcheries from New World, PAK’nSAVE and Raeward Fresh. For us to be able to bring all of these medals back down South is a major achievement.”

New World Rolleston owner Roy Bridgman said he’s extremely proud of Neal and his team.

“Neal is quite simply a real asset to our store,” Roy added. “Very hard working, very efficient, and absolutely dedicated to making our butchery perfect. And as these awards have proven, very good at making delicious and unique sausages too.”

This competition, now in its twenty third year, has been running in various forms since 1994 and is well established as an annual highlight for butchers and small goods manufacturers.

Each sausage is judged by at least two judges and an average score was taken from these.

Gold, bronze and silver medals were then awarded for the marks received. From there, the sausages which received the top mark in each category were rejudged against each other to find the Supreme Award Winner, which this year went to Mangawhai Meat shop with their Chicken, Lime and Lemongrass.

Weedons School is not only celebrating their 145 years of existence, but are celebrating that milestone by holding a Christmas Twilight Fair.

Taking place on Friday, December 2nd from 5pm Fair-goers can enjoy, amongst other things, live entertainment with the popular ‘Old Skool’ band.

Organisers have arranged for there to be craft stalls and food

The Clearview Fete was held on Sunday, October 16th following months of planning. The fun and much enjoyed day raised funds toward a new adventure playground at the School. With over one hundred stalls, it was a day for some fantastic shopping, amazing food, attractions and activities to keep the family entertained for the whole day.

There was much to see and do for children with bouncy castles, teacher splat, Pedalmania, super heroes and competitions, along with some outstanding entertainment. The Fete was hugely supported by the local community, as well as by people from far and wide.

“To everyone that attended our Fete, we thank you and hope that you enjoyed your day as much as we did,” commented Tania Soal, Soal of Clearview School.

stalls with plenty of items to finish off the Christmas shopping.

Maybe sitting and having a cuppa while the children take advantage of any of a number of fun activities on offer, is more appealing. There’s an expected visit from the white bearded man to be looked forward to as well. This is a free entry community event for all to enjoy and organisers hope many in

the community will attend for just that.

Weedons School would like to thank all their sponsors who are working to support the Fair.

Funds raised from this event will g o t ow a r d s a m u s i c a l playground for pupils.

Fireworks 2016 will be held this year on Saturday, November 5th at the new location of Foster Park, Broadlands Drive, Rolleston. The evening starts from 5pm - if wet the event will take place on Sunday, November 6th.

The change to the larger venue was dictated by the ever increasing popularity of the event, the larger numbers of people attending, and the fact that in the next year or two the existing location at Rolleston Reserve will be taken up by the new Rolleston Town Centre.

Another advantage at Foster Park is the larger firing and fall out zone for the fireworks’ operator.

The event is organised by a

subcommittee aligned to the Rolleston Residents Association. and comprises members of the Rolleston Reserve Management Committee, user groups, sports clubs, schools etc.

The Selwyn District Council events’ fund contributes $2,500 and assists with the road closure documentation and costs. Pub Charity has been a regular supporter over the last few years with a regular donation of $15,000. The committee has been chaired by J ens Christensen for the eighteen years that the event, in its current form, has been running.

It is now an iconic event on the Selwyn District calendar and a recognised fund raiser for the groups providing food and

SEASON HAS STARTED!!!

The fly and spider season is well underway. The warmer weather has white tail spiders out and about and of course many people calling us to help them with these unpleasant squaNers in their homes.

These guys are nocturnal and are normally only seen during the day if they are disturbed. Perhaps when dying drawers or wardrobes. If you have lived in a house that had whitetails and you have moved houses you will have more than likely taken them with you, to your new home. The treatment we use controls spiders and flies, it doesn't kill them instantly (as anything that potent would be dangerous to the occupants of the house). It takes three to four hours to shut down the nervous system of a whitetail. Some mes aPer treatment owners are astounded to see a whitetail they never knew they had, on the carpet or out on the wall unable to move. This is the nervous system shu ng down and the spider is unable to get back to cover. Mostly they are just found dead under a couch, or behind a wardrobe. The best me to see if you have whitetails is if you get up in the night, look along the edges of the skir ng, or along the top of the wall. If you have the old style down lights they can quite oPen be seen on the ceiling near these, as they can come through from the roof space.

entertainment on the night.

The night could not run without the entry fees of $10 per family or $5 per person, as the costs to run it are in the vicinity of $50,000.

“The usual entertainments will be on tap this year, along with a variety of food outlets, so come along and enjoy a night of fun, food and entertainment in a family atmosphere,” Jens said.

“But sorry, no dogs, alcohol or glass allowed,” he added.

Access gates will be provided off Dynes Road and Broadlands Drive (2). Car parking for $5 per car will be provided by Clearview School on Broadlands Drive and in the paddock off the roundabout at the intersection of Broadlands Drive and Lincoln/Rolleston Road opposite the new Rolleston College.

November 6th.

“Volunteer Fire Brigades are normally very busy around Guy Fawkes, so please follow all safety precaution to avoid starting fires. If you are planning to use fireworks at home please be careful to keep them away from hedges, shrubs, or long grass,” Douglas added.

Please follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of fireworks starting a fire: • Don’t light fireworks in hot or windy conditions • Follow handling instructions with care • Only ignite fireworks in open spaces, away from buildings and anything flammable • Have a supply of water nearby, like a hose or bucket • If a firework fails to ignite, don’t try to relight it as it may

Clearview Primary School are among more than 140 schools from around the country who have signed up to take part in Wattie’s Cans for Good the new national can collection to help struggling families with food support. The collection and education campaign being run by the Salvation Army in partnership with Wattie’s will help restock foodbank shelves in the lead up to Christmas.

Wattie’s Cans for Good will take place from November 14th to 18th with all the cans given to the Salvation Army for use in local foodbanks; enabling schools to make a direct and real difference to need in their local community.

According to Julie Henderson, Henderson Principal of Eastern

“Sky Lanterns, also known as Chinese Lanterns, are a significant risk if they are allowed to fly away. You should only use these lanterns if they are secured to prevent them floating away,” Douglas said.

Hutt School, Lower Hutt, initiatives like Wattie’s Cans for Good are a great way to involve all the students and their families in a project.

“It helps develop the awareness of others in our community and generates a positive spirit when we all combine our efforts to help others in need,” commented Julie.

“We believe it is important for our children to participate and contribute for the common good, to have the sense of making a difference to the lives of others.”

Wattie’s Cans for Good goes beyond other fundraisers as it will combine collecting for charity with a creative competition and a set of teacher based resource sheets designed to engage children and teachers, in a fun, teambased experience.

The Salvation Army is hoping schools will collect more than 25,000 cans. Cans collected by schools will be matched by Wattie’s, potentially taking the total collection to 50,000 cans.

“We provided more than 55,000 food parcels to help Kiwis in need get back on their feet in 2015, and this year the number of people needing help continues to grow.

“Christmas is an extremely difficult time for many families, so food donations from Wattie’s Cans’ for Good will make a real difference to New Zealanders when they need it the most,” said the Salvation Army’s National Secretary for Social Services Pam Waugh.
