Peaceful Havens: For the first time, there will be an opportunity for the public to visit both Waianawa gardens on the same day.

The Gardens of Waianawa, are as intriguing in reality as they are in name and will be open to the public on Sunday, November 15th. For the first time, the community will have access to both gardens; walking from one, into the other which allows the exploration of the grounds in their entirety. The two gardens are quite different; one has many formal

structures while the other is less structured. The first garden, ‘Waianiwa Homestead’ was established by the Warren Warren Warren Warren family who settled in Greendale in the 1860s. The garden has many mature trees (many of which, were originally planted by the Warrens) that provide a backdrop to the landscaped borders and spacious lawns. Great Oaks line

the yard drive with a mass of daffodils that flower in spring and create a carpet of colour. There is also a lake, folly, rose pergola and potager garden among the many features that abound in this garden. Since it was developed, the house and garden have evolved and grown as new owners have improved on, and created, changed areas of interest. Dame Malvina Major Dame Malvina Major Dame Malvina Major Dame Malvina Major extensively modified the garden design from the original circular drive and cottage borders into a garden which asked to be explored. The garden is now owned by Ian Jefferis Ian Jefferis Ian Jefferis Ian Jefferis and Mark Mark Mark Mark BrownBrownBrownBrown whose love and care has seen it become a peaceful haven that complements their home. The second garden, ‘Waianiwa’ surrounds the Warren’s home with a parkland to the south that creates a welcoming entrance. The Waianiwa Lake provides a complementary coolness and calm, even in the worst droughts. This garden was designed by RuthRuthRuthRuth and Ian Ian Ian Ian Warren Warren Warren Warren to create vistas from the house, encompassing garden rooms that each have their own distinguishing features. It welcomes and invites guests to wander and explore around the lake, through the ‘rooms’ and down the cherry walk, which is flanked by an olive grove. The shelter from the trees planted by earlier generations ensures that even strong nor’westers have little impact on the stillness that prevails. The open day promises to offer a day of charm and beauty. All funds raised are for the new Greendale Community Trust.

2014 Chieftain welcome ceremony.

The Hororata Highland Games this weekend, November 7th, is a Scottish Festival with a Kiwi twist and it is this unique mix that has ensured the event’s growth. The Games are considered the most traditional Highland Games in the Southern Hemisphere and have recently been invited to join the Scottish Highland Games Association. “From the very start the committee has been focussed on producing a traditional Highland Games; we even have a Scottish Advisory sub-committee to ensure we tick all the boxes in this respect. However, as with most things Kiwi, we have added a few of our own unique twists,” explained Event Manager Cindy Cindy Cindy Cindy Driscoll.Driscoll.Driscoll.Driscoll. “The Chieftain’s Welcoming Ceremony is one example of this. We have a Powhiri to welcome the Chieftain; however the response comes from the Bag Pipes, blending New Zealand and Scottish culture while honouring traditional ‘ bat t l e ’ p repara t ion o r celebration of Highland Games.” Highland Games originated as a Clan chieftain's way of choosing the best bodyguards and the fittest fighters to prepare for battle with other Clans. Not all the chief's requirements were warlike - musicians and dancers were also important for the prestige of his household. The Scottish athletics has always been at the heart of the event, testing competitor’s strength and agility. Highland Games has influenced the modern Olympics with the current sports of hammer throw

and shot putt introduced after Baron Coubertin Baron Coubertin Baron Coubertin Baron Coubertin (founder of modern Olympics) saw a Highland display in 1889. “We like to get people hands on with the Scottish athletic events. On the day we have two ‘Have A Go’ arenas where people of all ages can try tossing the Caber, a Lightweight Farmers’ Walk, Stone Putt or Sheaf Toss. We have introduced Haggis Hurling this year, yet another twist on what has become a Scottish tradition.” Also new to the event this year is Small Bore shooting in the Hororata Miniature Rifle Club

range which is located on the Hororata Domain. “Surrounding the competitions and Have A Go events is a huge festival in itself with over one hundred stalls, fairground and entertainment. We keep the theme going through the festival with Scott ish stalls and entertainment,” Cindy ended. Gates open at 9am and the event concludes at 4pm with the Mass Bands march past and prize giving. The event goes ahead wet or fine.

Katr ina McGett igan Katr ina McGett igan Katr ina McGett igan Katr ina McGett igan from Expoz’Art gallery in Rolleston has just completed the colossal challenge of painting 100 birds in 100 days. “I had heard about the 100 day challenge and was inspired by

other artists who had completed it in previous years. So I thought this would be a great thing to gain a little more exposure, help with my technique and give me something to aim towards each day.” explained Katrina. The enthusiastic artist left her job three months ago as a pre-school teacher to follow her dream of becoming an artist. The fear of the unknown, including an unknown salary, did not deter Katrina from delving headfirst into her love of art. The 100 native birds project is also a New Zealand first, “I chose to paint 100 New Zealand Native birds because I knew I could work from a small canvas to complete each one (100mm x 100mm) and from what I can find online it is the first of its kind in New Zealand so far. There is one other artist who completed a similar challenge but she did the birds through a printing method rather than painting.” Katrina’s hard work and extensive preparation shows in

the detail of her final pieces. She had to find the right profiles to paint, get permission to use images from the likes of Te Papa and D.O.C, as well as contacting p h o t o g r a p h e r s a n d ornithologists across the country. The success of the exhibition is reflected in the popularity of Katrina’s social media profiles. She has received messages from fans with memories and encouragement. With one avid fan posting, “I'm stuck in my house with a fractured spine. Your paintings have been a huge happiness in my day. I worked for Bird Rescue for a few years. Thank you, keep up the paintings.” This comment touched Katrina’s heart and she has gifted this lady a bird of choice from the challenge. “All-in-all it has definitely been worth it! And hopefully in a year’s time I will be close to finishing my second 100 day challenge.”

The exterior of the Centre emanates rural charm.

The interior of the new Learning Centre being used by students as a library facility.

On October 18th, Sheffield School’s pupils and staff, along with the wider community were invited to attend a two-part opening of the School’s new Learning Centre. The morning blessing was officially performed by representatives from Te Taumutu Runanga. Denise Denise Denise Denise SheatSheatSheatSheat delivered the official blessing with the support of Liz Liz Liz Liz BrownBrownBrownBrown and Taumutu were also represented and supported by Kaumatua. The children all performed two Waiata during the blessing ceremony and Reverend Susan Baldwin Susan Baldwin Susan Baldwin Susan Baldwin delivered a closing prayer and blessing to complete the first part of the opening day. The second part of the opening was an evening picnic; organisers were delighted to have a healthy turn out for both events. Sheffield School’s principal Nick Nick Nick Nick Pratt Pratt Pratt Pratt paid tribute to the many people contributing to the Learning Centre project. From those who secured the original funding for the project back in 2013, through to those who removed the old library and made good the land with landscaping. Nick thanked those who have fundraised for the Centre and commended the builders who delivered a functional learning space in a high ly profess iona l and resourceful manner. All this support has ensured that the Sheffield School community will benefit greatly from this resource in the years to come. The Learning Centre stands as a material recognition that the world has evolved significantly since previous generations attended school. “The age in which we’re now liv ing is known as the ‘Knowledge Age’ and is

essentially an age where society identifies our knowledge and ideas, as our most important asset,” Nick commented. “It’s no longer just what you know, but more importantly how you use knowledge to grow as a life-long learner.” This new Learning Centre will allow children to grow as life-long leaners through ‘Learning in Partnership’ alongside key members of the community. Daniel BaxterDaniel BaxterDaniel BaxterDaniel Baxter, a talented ex pupil, filmed the whole of the

morning blessing and official opening using a drone, before editing the footage and converting it into a stunning movie. This will be added to the School’s website in the next couple of weeks. The Centre will be open to the Sheffield School Community from 2.30-4.30pm every school day, so that children can connect to their learning with the support of the key people in their lives.

The magic of Christmas will be on display in the Darfield District on Sunday, November 29th. Following the success of two previous Christmas Trails held in 2012 and 2013, The Friends of Darfield Hospital plan to hold another similar event again this year. Many will recall that last year The Friends held an alternative event in the form of a very successful Garden Party, which raised in excess of $6,500 to provide a gazebo for the hospital grounds. The gazebo will provide a splendid outdoor place for patients to sit and talk to their visitors, while viewing the attractive gardens. This year’s Christmas Trail will feature seven fabulously decorated homes - six in Darfield and another in Kirwee, and three beautiful gardens – two in Darfield and the other at Waddington. The latter also features a museum of relics and items from bygone days which is highly recommended to people of all ages. Afternoon Tea will be available at one home on the Trail which will be open from 11am to 5pm. Tickets which include a map and details of each venue cost $10 for adults, and children under the age of sixteen (must be accompanied by an adult) are free. Tickets are available from: Darfield Garden Centre. The

Sewing Room and Mason’s Drapery. The Friends thank these businesses, along with Jo Jo Jo Jo McIntosh McIntosh McIntosh McIntosh of Bayley’s Real Estate for their generous support. The Friends of Darfield Hospital is a registered Charitable Trust which was formed some thirty years ago to provide extra

items for the care and comfort of the patients at Darfield Hospital. The proceeds from this year’s Trail will continue assisting the wonderful staff to provide excellent care in a homely, attractive environment. Organisers would welcome community support for the event, on November 29th.

IoT. …pardon, oh you mean The Internet Of Things! From Wikipedia…The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across exis�ng networks. You have a network in your home; even if you don’t know it. Your Wireless Printer is connected to your Laptop or Notebook, and that’s a network. What would happen if the fridge was connected to your wireless Modem? It could scan your groceries as they came out of the fridge and make up a grocery list for you and send it to your local grocery store for either your pick up, or delivery - wow! Smart thermostats with connec�on can be monitored via your smart phone through an applica�on and turn on or off and give you informa�on. Your driveway cam can alert you to intruders, and you can even see them on your phone. Wearable devices like some of the watches around can monitor pulse rates, steps taken, and so much more then report these back to your computer for analysis and/or prin�ng.

The Greendale Church (on Greendale Rd, at

Greendale) has a new roof thanks to the generous donations of local people. This means the church is now structurally

sound enough to be used again. To celebrate, a grand re-opening will held on Sunday, November 8th.

Selwyn’s first Diwali Celebration was held on Saturday, October 31st on the Green behind the Lincoln Library. Diwali (or Deepavali, the ‘festival of lights’) is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated each year, in the Northern Hemisphere autumn, which is New Zealand’s spring. To say the Lincoln event was an outstanding success is probably an understatement. The inaugural celebration attracted an attendance of over 1,000 people, with more than 400 attending the craft sessions in the specially open-for-the-event, Library. The Diwali Celebration was organised by the Selwyn District Council in collaboration with SurinderSurinderSurinderSurinder and Archna Tandon Archna Tandon Archna Tandon Archna Tandon on behalf of Colours of India NZ, The Laboratory, Selwyn Arts Trust, and Selwyn Libraries.

West Melton School students were excited to participate in the annual ‘Paint the Town Red’ fundraiser day. The event, held on October 23rd, saw the whole school attired in red for the day. The student exec organised face p a i n t i n g , a c o l o u r i n g competition and a best dressed competition. They managed to raise over $600 towards Radio Lollipop in Christchurch. Radio Lollipop is a charity, operating for 35 years internationally and 21 years in New Zealand; providing care, comfort, play and entertainment for sick children in hospital. Its volunteers visit children at Christchurch Hospital and Ronald McDonald House to help make their time in hospital less overwhelming and more enjoyable. Radio Lollipop gives young patients a voice and a choice during their stay. While they can´t say ‘no’ to taking their medicine or receiving treatment, they can request their favourite songs, win prizes and hear their own voices on the radio.

Painting the town red was deemed a fantastic day for all involved at West Melton and the funds raised will go a long way

to helping this charity keep making a difference for sick children.

Stunning in red (you’ll have to believe us on this!): L-R: Emma Iles, Paige Murphy, Aidriahna Culley, Caitlin Parrett,

While there were plenty of witches, ghosts and scary dress ups representing the

theme of Halloween, others came dressed as Spiderman, Batman and there was even a banana! The highlight of the evening was the smashing of the piñata and the feast of treats that followed. The evening was a huge success, a time to mix and mingle and en j o y a f am i l y p a r t y atmosphere.

GO THE ALL BLACKSGO THE ALL BLACKSGO THE ALL BLACKSGO THE ALL BLACKS The Rugby World Cup definitely created a lot of interest amongst the children at Darfield Preschool and Nursery, so when Chris Thwaites Chris Thwaites Chris Thwaites Chris Thwaites offered to do some rugby coaching with the children during the Centre’s All Blacks supporters’ day there was huge excitement. The children came dressed as All Blacks and Chris gave some valuable hints on keeping your eye on the ball and running fast, plus sound tips on how to best score a try. Of greatest importance however was the significance of working as a team, being able to do the haka and of course shouting; ‘Go the All Blacks’ as loudly as possible! It was indeed an energetic fun

TIP TRUCK AND TRANSPORTER HIRE

The CatchFitness 20Week Body and Lifestyle Competition held their awards on Saturday Night – with some locals impressing the judges to be Finalists and Winners in their categories again for this year! The Challenge begins at the end of April and runs through to the second week of September. This year there were over 600 entrants nationwide competing in categories which help to support and reward people working toward improving their health, fitness and general wellbeing. “Springfield’s ‘RejuvenateYou’ Personal Training had nine entrants in th is year’s competition; all on their very own, different journeys, and completing the full 20Weeks with great successes in their own right,” said Personal Trainer Ainsley Burton Ainsley Burton Ainsley Burton Ainsley Burton of

RejuvenateYou. “After the CatchFitness Awards Night on Saturday we were excited to come home with four finalists in their Categories and one Winner!” Congratulations go to finalists – Julie Smith Julie Smith Julie Smith Julie Smith and Sally BanksSally BanksSally BanksSally Banks in their Cardiovascular Category, to Michael Smith Michael Smith Michael Smith Michael Smith in the Maintenance Category and Graeme Albon Graeme Albon Graeme Albon Graeme Albon who then went on to win the Male Upper Body Category. “It was a magnificent result for Graeme,” Ainsley said, “as he came into the competition to support his wife Glenda Glenda Glenda Glenda on her journey! It really was great for him all round, as earlier that day he had competed in the Bell Hill 12km Walk - winning his age group and coming in second overall.” An excerpt from Graeme’s report was read out at the

awards night and he also mentioned a portion of it in his winning speech. “I had not been in a gym or taken part in a training session since school days, so I had no idea of what I had let myself in for, how unfit I was and how much I was going to enjoy the challenge of learning about, and improving, my overall strength and fitness.’’ A i n s l e y o f f e r e d h e r congratulations to Graeme and added that he had certainly shown how making some small changes and being consistent is the key to reaching some great goals. She also congratulated the other local competitors who took on this challenge. “I am sure you are enjoying the rewards of being fitter, stronger and following a healthier and more rewarding lifestyle,” Ainsley concluded.

On October 27th, Malvern Community Board held a recipients’ evening for those who have received grants in the last year from the Board. It was a good turnout of recipients with twelve groups all speaking about how the grant monies were used. The grants were wide ranging from Arbor Day and local primary schools, to helping fund an individual to travel to the States for a gold tournament.

Hororata Primary School’s Hamish Thornley, Head of Sport and Oliver Blackburn, Head of Learning, gave confident speeches thanking the Malvern Community Board for the School’s grant of $750. This assisted towards the whole school’s Winter Adventure Day - skiing at Porters. They also presented a video clip filmed by former pupil Harry Cookson Harry Cookson Harry Cookson Harry Cookson ---- depicting all the fun of the day.

Above: a spokesperson from Arthur’s Pass thanking the Malvern Community Board for the grant that went toward a ’This is Your Life’ publication in recognition of the time and energy Arthur’s Pass wardens John and Judy Charles have put into the alpine

village. There is now also a Track up at the Pass named after the Charles’ - the JC Track.

Grants funding was provided to the following: • Malvern Netball • Glentunnel School camp • Friends of Darfield Hospital • St John Youth • West Melton Gymnastics • Spirit of Adventure • Hororata Primary School ski trip

• Darfield High School Girls’ Senior Basketball tournament in Ashburton

• Arthur’s Pass Association:

The weather was perfect for last weekend’s Oxford Garden Fete, held at Ribblesdale Gardens. The garden was a delight with c o lou r f u l se l ec t i ons o f rhododendrons, azaleas and spring blooms, and there was considerable positive feedback. Those attending enjoyed fantastic music floating through the garden and played by Assembly Required, along with a great selection of food. All this and the opportunity to shop at eighty quality stalls, displaying beautiful and creative products, made it definitely a day to remember. It was unanimously agreed that there was a wonderful selection of Christmas gifts, tempting even the most discerning shopper. The fabulous guest ‘ Jax Jax Jax Jax HamiltonHamiltonHamiltonHamilton’ (of Masterchef fame) made an entertaining addition to the day with her bubbly personality and rapport with the crowd.

“We are very fortunate to have t w o q ua l i t y c h i l d r en ’ s entertainers living in the Oxford area,” commented Wendy Wendy Wendy Wendy Doody Doody Doody Doody one of the Fete’s organ iser s . “Enchant ing Entertainment did beautiful fairy face paintings, while Jason Jason Jason Jason Clements Clements Clements Clements held a puppet show for the children to enjoy.” “Over all it was a very successful day at the Oxford Garden Fete, which was enjoyed by all.” Wendy concluded.

West Melton School’s Kapa Haka Group. The Selwyn Kapa Haka showcase was held in Rolleston on Wednesday, October 28th.

of tutoring and supporting the Kapa Haka students,” commented a School spokesperson.

A 2014 culinary cake masterpiece.

On Thursday, November 12th t h e G l e n t unne l S choo l community will gather to enjoy one of the year’s highlights when the School holds its annual Pet Day and Great Cake Auction. It’s well known as an exciting and fun day for all who either attend, or participate and brings many visitors to the School for the event. The children look forward to bringing their pets to School for the day, as well as meeting the pets of others. Owners also get a chance to demonstrate knowledge of their pets, along with how to care for them. Judges on the day have a difficult task deciding where the prizes will be awarded for this section, and also have to assess demonstrations of dog obedience and training skills. The talented students of Glentunnel School will also exhibit their creative and artistic prowess with a display of musical instruments made from recycled materials, along with

decorated shoes. Added to all this, a market, run by the children will be held on the day and feature sweet-treats made by pupils, plus a fundraising raffle. To round off the day Glentunnel School will hold their much looked-forward to ‘Great Cake Auction’. It’s no stock-standard cake auction though - it’s touted as entertainment at its best! Culinary creations from families, judged by a local restaurateur, along with lively and humourous auctioneering by the PW&A team - make for a fun and entertaining fundraiser. Bidding from the enthusiastic crowd is generally lively and a number of local businesses have got onboard to sponsor auction goods to add to the cakes. Last year the auction raised over $2,500 which the students used to purchase sports equipment and outdoor toys.

hats to wear for their penance - giving everyone a good laugh along the way At the completion of the night Algidus House won. The winning Quiz team was Laughalots.

Selwyn MP Amy Adams Amy Adams Amy Adams Amy Adams welcomes the planting of 516 hectares of new forest in Canterbury, thanks to the first round of funding through the Government’s Afforestation Grants Scheme (AGS). The Afforestation Grants Scheme will see $22.5 million invested over the next six years to encourage the planting of an expected 15,000 hectares of new forest throughout New Zealand. Successful applications for the first round of funding cover 5819 hectares of forest,

including areas of planting in the Selwyn region. Priority was given to applicants addressing environmental issues such as erosion and Amy noted that, “every application was assessed against a set of eligibility criteria and included a detailed technical forestry assessment.” Successful applicants will receive $1,300 per hectare for new forest planting. The next round of funding will open in April next year for planting in winter 2017.

The funding of forestry will lead to improved water quality, create jobs and grow the economy.

After cancellations in wintertime due to inclement weather the Shef f ie ld Volunteer F ire Brigade’s fundraising Mud Plug 4x4 event was held last weekend. While spectator numbers were a little lower than on previous years, which organisers suspect may have had something to do with an All Black victory in the early hours of the morning, those that attended were again treated to a great day. As well as the mud and thrills and spills of the vehicles there were displays and activities, as well as a well supported auction. “We can’t thank volunteers and supporters enough,” said one of the event’s organisers and Sheffield Fire Brigade’s Chief, Nev CroyNev CroyNev CroyNev Croy. “Thanks to the digger operators who hauled out anyone who got stuck in the quagmire, and there was only one tip-over. Possibly caused by driver over-confidence,” Nev smiled. There were 35 entrants in the event coming from as far as Dunedin and Wellington. The eventual winner (Andrew Andrew Andrew Andrew Staveley Staveley Staveley Staveley of Nelson) also got to take a ride around the course (in his Jeep Wrangler) with a reporter from New Zealand’s V8 magazine - who arrived to cover the event. The auction was a hit with all those who attended, offering

good quality items for bargain prices. While the final totals from entry and auction hadn’t been calculated at the time of going to print, organisers were confident that the much appreciated assistance of all who worked hard to bring the event to the community, would have raised funds for the Brigade. “There were positive comments from all quarters,” Nev said. The Brigade were instrumental in providing fire related demonstrations at the event also, providing information about dangers and safety. for those present. The special maze tunnel for children was a definite hit.

Looking like a member of the bouncy castle family, the passageway was intended to replicate the hands and knees exit route from a fire. More than 800 youngsters went through the tunnel on the day. The kitchen fire demo trailer was a sobering reminder of the perils of fire and the Brigade was on hand to answer any queries about this aspect of their work. “We can’t thank everyone enough for making this event such a success,” Nev stressed. “From the volunteers and Brigade members to the drivers, support crew and spectators - it was another great Mud Plug,” he finished.

For arable farmers now is the time when all the tough questions are being asked. What’s the price of grain going to do? How much carryover stock is there? Why is the price so low? What’s the weather going to do? And what is this season going to look like? All the questions have different answers depending on who you talk to and how many beers are involved! At this point in time, the prices are low, stocks are high and demand isn’t where we’d like it. These tensions are a reflection of where the dairy industry is and what they are going through. Despite the downturn, arable farmers have a lot to celebrate. We have responded to lower grain prices by reducing the area of feed grain where we can. Some arable farmers have chosen to produce one thing and that’s it, while others are looking to grow different crops. I don’t have a crystal ball, but the reduction in 2016 harvest feed grain should help to clear any carryover stocks and

reduce the grain on the market (fingers crossed) helping lift that price again. We seem to hear an awful lot about the rough time other livestock industries are going through, but there are few avenues for arable farmers to get together and have a good old yarn about factors influencing our industry. With this in mind, I’m re-starting the North Canterbury provincial arable meetings from Tuesday, November 17th at 7pm This meeting at the Terrace Winebar and Restaurant, Darfield is open to all arable farmers.

Colin Hurst olin Hurst olin Hurst olin Hurst (Vice-Chairperson Seeds, Arable Industry Group) will talk about farm-saved seed and our battle to retain this important provision. Hugh Wigley Hugh Wigley Hugh Wigley Hugh Wigley (Chairperson of the Herbage Seedgrowers Subsection) will discuss the levy rates for the Non-Proprietary Cultivars for 2016 and what that means for you. So don’t be a stranger, come along and have your say, I’ll see you there.

Devon Crequer batted extremely well, and got on with it, and hit

the ball hard. Michael Millar (No. 8) did the same, and hit an amazing six to mid-wkt - it went very high. N. Jenkins and Haigh Jebson came to the attack late, and their bowling had much control and accuracy. Lincoln (HOME) 78Lincoln (HOME) 78Lincoln (HOME) 78Lincoln (HOME) 78 J. Chapman and M.

Some th i n g new i s happening at Terrace Station. Combined with the final 2015 Open Garden day on November 15th, is the first ‘Books in the Garden’ event, which is planned to be an annual

occurrence. Gardening books and New Zealand history books have been donated by friends and supporters and all proceeds will go toward the maintenance of this important heritage property, which belongs to the Nation.

The DRAW for November is: 7th: Sth. Malvern v Greendale 21st: Sth. Malvern v Southbrook Leeston/Sthb v Greendale 28th: Greendale v Sefton Sth. Mal v Leeston/Sthb Footnote: Footnote: Footnote: Footnote: At Sheffield, Peter Jenkins hit a ball almost to the 3rd man boundary. Merv Frew and Trevor Wall relayed the ball, as best they could, back to keeper Graeme Dawson, who by now was standing nearly ten yards from the stumps. He showed his class with his throw, and the bails were sent flying. P.J. was run out, going for his 4th run.
