Darfield’s Jase Collins Jase Collins Jase Collins Jase Collins is not only a ski aficionado and co-owner of New Zealand Ski Instructor Training (NZSIT), based in the ski areas of the Craigieburn Range, but has also managed to persuade the New Zealand Ski Industry Association (NZSIA) to schedule an instructor ’s examination locally at Porters. The NZSIA Level 1 examination, to be held (July 18th - 22nd), during the school holidays is a great opportunity for local school and university students to get a qualification, that can lead to a career anywhere in the world. “The exam is set up to allow you to gain confidence in skiing and teaching methodology, in a fun and relaxed environment.

qualifications are one of the mos t h igh l y r espe c ted qualifications globally allowing you to work both in NZ and abroad,” Jase commented. To prepare for the examination process, Jase will run a brief training course prior, for those maybe just wanting a day or two to assess where they’re at, before the exam proper. Jase’s training is held in the Craigieburn’s because, as he puts it, “ they’re big on terrain, small on crowds and home to some of the best in-bounds, off-piste, skiing in the world. It is the Southern Hemisphere's biggest and most diverse ski

region with five ski areas to choose from. “I will be offering some pre-exam clinics at Porters and these can be conveniently run at weekends and in the school holidays, for those wanting to embar k on the NZSIA qualification process,” Jase said. “I also have a couple of places still available (six students maximum per group) in a full NZSIT training course which will run from late June/early July for anyone interested in really furthering their skiing career.” For further details, please see For further details, please see For further details, please see For further details, please see the advertisement in this issue.the advertisement in this issue.the advertisement in this issue.the advertisement in this issue.

Left: Janine Thomson of The Flower Garden NZ and her husband Rick, who assists with deliveries, when he’s able.

Unique, locally based, and bringing cheer to those in hospital or rest homes are just some of the superlatives to describe ‘The Flower Garden NZ’. The Flower Garden NZ is a registered Charitable Trust begun by Darfield’s Janine Janine Janine Janine Thomson Thomson Thomson Thomson with the intention of brightening the day of those in hospitals or rest homes, while also assisting those with an over abundance of flowers, either in the garden, or following an event. Often after a wedding, a birthday, or even a funeral the sheer volume of floral arrangements can be overwhelming - and too beautiful to bin, when they could bring such pleasure to others. “I gained qualifications as a chef,” Janine smiled, “and have worked in hospitality most of my life. My two children are now adults and so the Flower Garden was born - created out of the desire to make a difference in the lives of those confined to hospital or living in a rest home. My partner RickRickRickRick, works as a diesel mechanic and assists me with the deliveries in his time off. Janine and Rick moved to a lifestyle block close to Darfield last year and eventually plan to plant it with flowers and foliage for their charity. “Gifting a posy of fresh flowers to patients/residents, can brighten the day of those having a difficult time and bring a smile to their faces. Flowers can be a way of reaching out and showing that someone cares. “We are always respectful and understand the hospital is a place where people are unwell

and are healing. So accordingly we conduct our services in a quiet and polite manner,” Janine stressed. Feedback from hospital staff and patients is all positive - ranging from comments about improving emotional well being, to making folk feel happy and brightening up a sterile-looking environment. However while Janine receives flower offers from many people t h r ough her ex tens i ve networking, she would be extremely grateful for more donations of flowers, foliage and greenery from home gardens, weddings, events, flower growers, or in fact anyone able to contribute to this project. “Please spread the word for us,” Janine said, “to date (since we began in July 2015) we have delivered over 2432 vases of flowers, due to the kindness of those people who donate fresh blooms. We are currently l ook ing f o r ideas f o r fundraising, in case our donated supply falls short. If anyone has any ideas/expertise in this area, could they please contact me at: [email protected]

Janine regularly delivers posies to Christchurch Hospital and Christchurch Women's - (to the tune of twenty jars weekly), as well as to Darfield Hospital, W e s tm ar S en i o r C ar e , Rannerdale Veterans’ Care (R i ccar ton), Park Lane Retirement Village (Addington), Bishop Selwyn Life Care ( S p r e y d o n ) , W o o d c o t e Retirement Village (Hornby), and Ronald McDonald House South Island, who receive ten posies weekly for their dining room. Having more flowers regularly would enable her to more regularly deliver to Anthony Wilding Retirement Village (Halswell), Resthaven Rest Home (Colombo Street), St Albans Retirement Village, Rose Court (Somerfield), Cashmere View Ret irement Vil lage, Avon lea Demen t ia Care (Addington), George Manning House, Merivale Retirement Village. These are currently places Janine can only take f lowers to sporadical ly, dependent on supply.

CLUSTER FLIES!!!!!! These li9le creatures can actually freak people out. Going

into a room and finding hundreds of flies si�ng around

the windows or stacked between the curtain material

and the lining, can be just too much. And you can’t blame

them, because if not controlled they can gather in their

thousands. We have seen roof cavi�es stacked so thick

you can’t see the raLers. It all starts with the male fly.

He’s the one you see flying around aimlessly in the

middle of a room, in an irregular circle, every now and

again going to the centre to have a dog fight in mid-air

with one of his other male mates. They look very

emaciated and seem to fly nonstop all day. At night they

land upside down under a pot plant leaf or sliding door

track, so you can never find them. The female on the

other hand is outside merrily going around the flowers

ea�ng nectar much like a drone bee. She lays her maggot

on an earthworm which becomes the host. So this makes

them more of a problem in rural areas than a city,

because there are more earth worms available to them.

When the male is ready he will find a warm dry place,

usually in a house or ceiling space, and once he is happy,

lets off a pheromone. That tells all the females it’s �me to

come in for the winter, and they do - in their thousands.

They can some�mes be seen on the warm side of a

building in the morning warming up in the sun, before

heading out for the day. We have heard instances of this

happening every year for five or six years to the one

house and then they never see them again. Good

treatment is a specialised product not available to the

public, and cluster flies definitely don’t like it!

The two rival gangs created havoc in

Darfield, and while Bugsy was caught up in the dirty business, he was still desperately trying to win the affection of the beautiful Blousey Brown (Lexi SutherlandLexi SutherlandLexi SutherlandLexi Sutherland). The production was a huge success

Trevor, who has now begun his well deserved retirement, has been driving the Kirwee Model School bus for nearly thirty years.

We have never had one complaint and he has never received any traffic offences - which is an accomplishment in itself. But more than that, Trevor has been the trusted face of our company and our link to the Kirwee community for many, many years,” Sandra added. Local Selwyn MP Amy Adams Amy Adams Amy Adams Amy Adams rescheduled her busy day to also attend Trevor’s farewell. Amy recounted fond memories as her children had been students not only at Kirwee School, but had also ridden on the school bus with Trevor some fifteen years ago. “Trevor made me feel at ease when putting my five year old son on the school bus for the first time. It’s no easy task when your child is so small and travelling for the first time.

Trevor has always been upbeat and friendly and has truly embraced his position of trust within the community,” she commented during her speech. There were many more accolades from well wishers in attendance, testimony to how many lives Trevor has touched in the last thirty years.

Thursday, May 12th was International Nurses Day; Florence Nightingale’s Florence Nightingale’s Florence Nightingale’s Florence Nightingale’s birthday and the day when all around the world people take the time to thank nurses for the great work they do - as did those celebrating it in Darfield. N e w Z e a l a n d N u r s e s Organisation (NZNO) Manager, Nursing and Professional Services, Jane MacGeorge Jane MacGeorge Jane MacGeorge Jane MacGeorge commented that Nurses are the largest profession in the health system, and without them the health outcomes for people receiving care and treatment would not be improving, as they are. The New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) is the leading professional body of nurses and nursing union in A o tearoa New Zea land , representing over 46,000 nurses and health workers. Members include nurses,

In Darfield International Nurses Day was embraced at Westmar Senior Care where staff member and Nurse Robyn Robyn Robyn Robyn Macklin Macklin Macklin Macklin created replicas of the starched nurses’ caps of yesteryear and even found uniforms from various eras to accompany them. Residents, some of whom had been nurses themselves, or had occasion to be incredibly appreciative of them, enjoyed the celebration wholeheartedly. Reminiscing Westmar residents made many comments about the day - all of them interesting and entertaining: RubyRubyRubyRuby remembered wearing the old hats, starched aprons (that were so uncomfortable), big thick stockings - that you daren’t have any holes in, or matron would have stern words

with you! MarjorieMarjorieMarjorieMarjorie remembers her days as a Karitane nurse, Matron was always waiting at the door at 11 o’clock to scold you if you were late! AudreyAudreyAudreyAudrey remembered the night shifts where she had to do all the sewing jobs: darning socks, hemming trousers, sewing on buttons etc - while everyone slept. Barbara Barbara Barbara Barbara recalled wearing navy blue dresses in her nursing days. Going home after night shift not her favourite time and the noises in the bushes when walking home - were rather scary. Betty H. Betty H. Betty H. Betty H. remembered sterilising the dental equipment in boiling hot water and always burnt her fingers - until she found rubber gloves! Betty G. Betty G. Betty G.

USING YOUR EQUITY TO

ADVANCE

YOUR PROPERTY PORTFOLIO While there are new tax laws in play around investment

property, and LVR restric�ons, if your appe�te is in

property investment, there are s�ll some good benefits to

be had.

If you are able to keep your proper�es for the long haul -

short term pain, long term gain - you may find it all a very

worthwhile exercise. That, coupled with good rental

returns makes the whole Property PorPolio a good

re�rement plan for many people.

Employing a property manager can take the headache out

of what can be a very stressful situa�on. Property

managers are experienced in dealing with tenants and can

prove a worthwhile investment.

Now that you have your porPolio started, let’s look at

how to increase your book. If you have equity in your

homes, you may be able to use this to purchase another

property. Reserve Bank has recently changed the rules

and banks vary a lot in how they view applica�ons. I have

the knowledge and experience to help you nego�ate the

minefield so give me a call - I will be happy to help!

Lisa Whiteside (specialist teacher) with student Isaac Wilson. Tanker driver Nathan, was made aware of how ‘truck mad’ Isaac was and arranged a special

preview of the Fonterra Milk Tanker at his home before school. Isaac also got to see the tanker again with other pupils during the school day.

Darfield’s Nathan Simon had wanted to show students at Darfield Primary School how his milk tanker operated for some time and on Tuesday morning he had the opportunity to do so. Nathan’s son Kyan is a pupil at the school, and many of his fellow Fonterra workers also have

children there as well. Nathan was over the moon when Fonterra bosses granted his request to visit the School and let the students get ’up close’ to the tanker. “The children all get milk in schools and it is great for

them to see part of the process of getting it to them,” Nathan said. The children were very excited to see the mechanics of the tanker and also asked many question about Nathan’s job itself.

On Friday, May 7th, schools and early childhood centres from the wider Malvern area gathered at Darfield Primary School for the inaugural Teachers’ Top Team competition. In all fourteen teams made up of teachers from a mix of schools completed a variety of fun, team building, activities. This was a Community of Learning event designed to develop the relationship of teachers from across all nine schools and two early childhood centres in the locality.

A free workshop later this month aims to help aspiring and established local writers get their works published. The workshop is the second opportunity for the newly established Selwyn Writers Network to meet. The first meeting of the new network in February attracted over forty writers. The workshop, planned for 6.30pm on Tuesday, May 24th at the Lincoln Event Centre, will be presented by Jenny Howarth Jenny Howarth Jenny Howarth Jenny Howarth from Wilys Publications. Jenny is a New Zealand novelist, non-fiction writer and journalist with a Masters degree in History. Her

publications include The Art of War: New Zealand War Artists in the Field 1939-1945, Hooked: the Story of the New Zealand Fishing Industry and The Road's the Mode: The Story of New Zealand's Road Transport Industry. Jenny will cover how to approach a traditional book publisher, including writing a synopsis, cover letter and biography of yourself and how to self-publish a work. The workshop will also look at the advantages and risks of self-publishing, the importance of reviews and how authors can get their books into shops and

libraries. Arts Advisor Rachael Inch Rachael Inch Rachael Inch Rachael Inch added that the workshop is being organised as previous surveys of local writers have identified that they wanted to receive more information about how to publish their works. The workshop will run for around two hours and is free to attend, however registration is essential. To register email: [email protected] by May 17th. The workshop is organised by Selwyn District Council and supported by the Selwyn Arts Trust.


To the Editors: At 6.30pm last Thursday an old man was struggling to keep his feet in an exceptionally strong wind outside of the Take Away, opposite Taege’s Four Square. Two, or perhaps three, unknown Good Samaritans came to assist and helped him into his car uninjured, and for that I am extremely grateful and happy to acknowledge the fact publicly. We are most fortunate to live in a community where such acts of kindness occur. May it always remain that way.

We stock a comprehensive range of tyres for cars, 4WD, motorbikes,

trucks, tractors and more. If we haven’t got the right tyres

in stock, we will do our best to get them.

Arts and culture play an integral role in building community spirit, developing social

networks and providing opportuni�es for enjoyment in the community.

The Selwyn Arts Trust in associa�on with Selwyn District Council is invi�ng people to share

their views on how the arts can be developed in Selwyn.

A new survey has been released as part of a consulta�on with the community to ascertain

key areas where the arts can be improved and developed in the district.

Selwyn District Council Arts Advisor Rachael Inch said the survey will indicate how the arts

community should look in the future. “The feedback we gain from the survey will give us a

clear picture of the support ar�sts in Selwyn need in order to build a thriving arts

community.”

She encourages everyone living in the district to answer the survey. “Even if you don’t

par�cipate in the arts we are keen to hear your views on how the arts should look and feel

in our district.”

The survey can be taken by visi�ng the Selwyn Arts Trust website:

www.selwynartstrust.org.nz. and is open un�l May 31st.

The new playground at Darfield Domain is already a huge hit with the young folk of Darfield. Stu GillandersStu GillandersStu GillandersStu Gillanders, President of the Darfield Recreation Centre committee, commented that it made him extremely happy to see so many children making the most of the brand-new play area. The peak time for children playing in the area is on a Saturday - before or after their sports, or while parents are playing/watching netball or rugby. “There was a need for an upgrade to the old netball courts and it seemed a great time to plan a new playground too,” Stu said. The new layout does away with the old pea gravel ground cover meaning parents will no longer find piles of stones on the carpet after their children have kicked off their shoes! This has been replaced with durable safety matting, much to the delight of not only parents, but also those in charge of the surrounding grounds. “You will never understand what a great thing the matting is, until you have had to sweep the pea gravel from an entire netball court before a game,” laughed Stu. Jasmine Rothwell having some outdoor fun in the sunshine.

40 Years in the Industry

S e l w y n Y o u t h C o u n c i l Chairperson Emily de Rooy Emily de Rooy Emily de Rooy Emily de Rooy will be heading to Parliament this month, as the Youth Council has been named as a finalist in the New Zealand Youth Awards. The awards are held annually and recognise young people who have made a significant contribution to their community in areas such as arts, culture, environment and sport. The Selwyn Youth Council was formed in 2013 and since that time has worked on a wide range of projects. Collectively the Youth Counci l has contributed over 2,000 hours of voluntary service to projects which benefit Selwyn. In 2015 the Youth Council ran sixteen events including skate jams, r o l l e r d i s cos , a band competition, youth markets and drive in movies. These events were attended by 3,000 people. The Youth Council established a pop up café as a social enterprise to train and employ around a dozen local young people, helping them gain skills

which will improve their employment prospects. The café is run as a not for profit business with the proceeds from sales distributed as youth grants. Over the summer of 2015/16 the Youth Counci l, with assistance from Selwyn District Council, undertook ‘Meet your Street’ where they visited 34 different communities in Selwyn. Local residents were provided with free hot drinks from the Youth Council’s pop up cafe, and invited to take part in games and chat to their neighbours in a park. These events were a great opportunity for people to meet their neighbours and form new friendships. Currently each of the thirteen members of the Youth Council, with assistance from an adult mentor, has developed their own passion projects, while collectively, the Youth Council will work on running a youth arts’ festival, expanding their community access radio station and presenting a music festival,

as well as the opening of Generation House. This is a creative community space which will include a café, meeting area, wellness clinic, community radio station and arts space; “Selwyn is very lucky to have such an active, committed group of young people on our Youth Council,” commented Selwyn Mayor Kelvin CoeKelvin CoeKelvin CoeKelvin Coe. “I am overwhelmed by the support that the Selwyn District Counci l and the Selwyn community has given to our organisation. We have come so far in such a short space of time and are truly grateful for those backing us every step of the way,” Youth Council Chairperson Emily added. “Chris MartinChris MartinChris MartinChris Martin, our Youth Advisor, has been incredibly dedicated and passionate in giving us the opportunities that have allowed us to grow and develop as leaders.” The New Zealand Youth award winners will be announced by Hon. Nikki Kaye, Nikki Kaye, Nikki Kaye, Nikki Kaye, Minister of Youth, at a ceremony in Wellington on May 24th.

The Counci l is inv it ing submissions on draft Area Plans for Malvern and Ellesmere. “The Area Plans will guide the growth of townships in Ellesmere and Malvern through to 2031,” said Andrew MactierAndrew MactierAndrew MactierAndrew Mactier, Strategy and Policy Planner. “The plans include options for where residential and business development could occur, if needed, and future Council infrastructure and services projects that may be needed in different townships.” Although the plan does not rezone any land, it will inform the District Plan Review, which starts this year, along with other Council plans and privately initiated plan changes. The draft Area Plans were prepared following a series of community drop in sessions and consultations held in August 2015. As par t of th is consultation people were also able to make suggestions about how they wanted townships in Ellesmere and Malvern to develop, online and through comment forms. Some of the ideas included in the Area Plans the Council would like people’s comments

on include: • carrying out town centre

studies in Leeston, Darfield, Springfield and Southbridge looking at issues such as transport, beautification, accessibility of community facilities and business land

• working with KiwiRail and the NZ Transport Agency to look at issues relating to the State Highway and railway line in

Dunsandel, Sheffield and Kirwee

• In Darfield and Leeston, looking at intensification opportunities close to the town centre to provide more housing options such as social housing and housing for older people, and also the feasibility of establishing a walking/cycling link between McHugh’s Forest Park and the town along the rail corridor.

People can find out more by picking up a copy of the draft Area Plans from Council library/service centres or read it online: www.selwyn.govt.nz/areaplans. The Council is also holding drop-in sessions where people can find out more about the plans and talk to staff and submission forms can also be picked up from a Council library or service centre.

Darfield Main Street: One proposal in the draft Area Plans is to look at intensification opportunities close to Darfield and Leeston town centres to provide more housing options, and also carry out

town centre studies in these townships as well as in Springfield and Southbridge looking at issues like transport, beautification,

access to community facilities and business land.

At the golfing conclusion, players were treated to a

meal at the Club house thanks to the labours of a

group of hard-working volunteers. Due to the

overwhelming support from local and Christchurch

district sponsorship, nearly everyone received a prize

for their golf efforts.

“We would like to thank all our sponsors, par�cularly

local businesses for suppor�ng our fundraiser,” said

Malvern Community Patrol spokesperson, Errol Ashby.

“It was a wonderful day and great to see so many

people enjoying it,” he added.

Brian Davidson, President of Malvern Lions’ Club,

organisers of the tournament, was delighted to present

the Chair of Malvern Community Patrol with a cheque

for $15,000 and a promise of more to come once the

remainder of funds had cleared. The Malvern Lions’

golf tournament is an annual event and funds raised

are donated to a different charity each year. Lions

Clubs in New Zealand are part of a global organisa�on

with 1.4 million members in 208 countries and

geographic regions.

The Malvern Lions Golf Tournament, held at Greendale Golf Club

on Thursday, May 12th, was a much appreciated fundraiser for

the Malvern Community Patrol. The picturesque Greendale

course was complemented by sunshine and warm weather,

along with a field of extremely happy golfers.

126 players flocked to the Course from local and Canterbury-

wide des�na�ons to par�cipate in the well-supported, annual

tournament. Fortunately players were sheltered from prevailing

gale force winds and this provided perfect condi�ons for the

Ambrose match.

Council backs plan for Council backs plan for Council backs plan for Council backs plan for joint public transport joint public transport joint public transport joint public transport committee: committee: committee: committee: The Council has formally agreed to the establishment of a public transport joint committee for greater Christchurch, which is expected to also include Environment Canterbury, Waimakariri District Council and Christchurch City Council. The Councils have been reviewing arrangements for public transport in greater Christchurch since late 2014. The provision of an effective public transport network is seen as an essential component to the long-term r eco ve ry o f g r ea te r Christchurch, and a joint committee would be a significant step towards improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the public t r a n s p o r t s y s t e m . Environment Canterbury and Waimakariri District Council have already endorsed the proposed joint committee, while Christchurch City

Council was to consider the proposal today. Cr Sarah Sarah Sarah Sarah Walters Walters Walters Walters was appointed as the council’s representative on the committee, to be known as the Greater C h r i s t c h u r c h P u b l i c Transport Joint Committee.
