On Sunday, family and friends of Darfield Primary School came together for a School Plant Day. The purpose of the event was to revitalise the school grounds by establishing a number of new gardens. Although the weather was a little cold and cloudy the school had a great turn out of enthusiastic supporters who quickly transformed the area. This has been a long term project for the School after earlier in the year Southern Woods appreciatively designed a landscape plan for them. However, the ability to get the project off the ground finally came with the support of local businessman Mark Vincent Mark Vincent Mark Vincent Mark Vincent of the popular, Burger Revolution. With his very generous donation, the plans could be transformed into a beautiful reality.

Mark sponsored a substantial $3,000 worth of trees for Darfield Primary School. “The planting was a huge success and there was a great turnout of volunteers. I donated the funds to buy the trees after thinking how wonderful the grounds could and would, look for the children,” Mark said. Darfield Primary School principal Aaron Richards Aaron Richards Aaron Richards Aaron Richards commented, "This has been a wonderful project and it is fantastic to see the local community get behind and support the School in such a positive way. The School is going through a bit of a transformation at the moment with the grand opening of the refurbished classroom block only a few months away. “We are looking forward to seeing the final result,” Aaron finished.

Tessa Bamford, Zahra Vincent (whose Dad Mark, of Burger Revolution very generously donated the plants for the

transformation) and Rylee Perrin.

The Nour i sh ga rden ing programme of Two Rivers Community Trust started a year ago with a 'learn how to graft fruit trees' session. It's that time of year again. Nour ish facilitators welcome members of the community to join other locals in learning how to turn a wild seedling into a profitable fruit tree. “It is a cheap and very satisfying skill to have,” said course facilitator Dave AskinDave AskinDave AskinDave Askin. “It is particularly impressive at flowering and fruit harvest. Imagine a tree with multi-coloured blossoms and harvest over a couple of months as different cultivars of pear, or plum or apple (etc) ripen. Dave has been playing in their orchard for about ten years now and just so there's no surprises, he commented ‘don't expect perfection'. However there are plenty of trees with grafts growing well, so he must have done something right at one time or another! There will be plenty to discuss, around gardens or fruit and he encourages those interested, to come, participate in the training and enjoy making new friends over a brew at the end of the session.

Margaret Ridgen presides over a previous Fair’s extensive and incredibly popular used book section - this year is bound to

be just as looked-forward to.

The much looked-forward to Malvern Anglican Parish’s Annual Country Fair and Crafts Day takes place this Saturday morning, September 26th at Trinity Church in Darfield. The Fair’s White Elephant stall has expanded so much it has become the White Elephant Hall and is now in the Trinity Church Hall on the corner of Greendale and McLaughlin’s Road. Organisers advise there will be plenty of used furniture on offer this year also, sheltered under the car port on the Church grounds. The used book stall, always a perennial favourite, has become so popular that they too have moved to a larger room within the Church. All the main craft and food stalls, both inside and outside the Church building, will be joined this year by the Darfield Market. An even greater opportunity to find crafts, food, baked goods, furniture, antique

stalls, wool and knitted apparel, toys, plants and used books. “Please note,” said Fair organisers, “the book stall will

be also be open on Sunday afternoon from 1 - 4:30pm, if you miss your chance on Saturday morning.”

Live Band Friday 2nd October

9pm onwards ‘Assembly Required’

A high energy, highly entertaining, in your face duo who never fail to deliver crowd cheering,

toe tapping, foot stomping performances. With a blend of everything from Folk/Blues

to Rock/Pop, combined with a dash of comedy and plenty of on stage antics it's no wonder many people describe

'Assembly Required' as one of the most entertaining acts around.

Chris Bascand with Linda Youl, a Senior Advisor at the Ministry of Education, at the opening of the latest new classroom, June 2015.

Chris Bascand Chris Bascand Chris Bascand Chris Bascand commenced in the role of Principal at Glentunnel School in 2006. Sadly at the end of this term he will leave the area and his role as Principal. During his time at Glentunnel School, the pupil roll has grown from 38 to 108 pupils. The school was under statutory management when Chris took over, and he worked extremely hard to achieve his goal of reuniting the school with the community in unison with improving the education of all students. He not only achieved these goals but excelled in his role as principal, gaining him a prestigious reputation throughout the Selwyn district. The School is proud to declare that it is now a true community school. Due to the expansion of the attendance roll, Chris supervised the addition of three more classrooms, a library, and a new administration block. Maintenance is continuously carried out and the school buildings and grounds are

member of the Township Committee and has played a huge part in successfully getting ANZAC Day services re-commenced in Glentunnel. Chris will shortly move to Lower Moutere School, where he will take on the role of Principal. He will be sorely missed not only by the School but also by the whole local community. Needless to say everyone in the area wishes him all the best for his future endeavours. Glentunnel’s new Principal, Dion Dion Dion Dion StechmannStechmannStechmannStechmann, will begin at the beginning of Term 4, and the School community look forward to working with him, and welcoming him and his family to the area.

Sharlene Sharlene Sharlene Sharlene Bascand Bascand Bascand Bascand (Chris’s wife) has also taught part time at the School and together the couple have contributed a huge amount of t ime and effort toward educating Glentunnel’s Year 6 students. Their philosophy has always been that, “it’s all about the children”. Chris has a special gift and always seems to know if there is someone in the community in need, and helps out, whether they are a school family or not. He has also shown prof ic iency in identify ing children requiring assistance and ensuring they get what they need to perform to the best of their capabilities. His continuous quest for the improvement of education is reflected in the very high standards of recent test results. Chris is an active member of the Glentunnel community. He’s a

You all made this project

a dream come true!

A/er almost eighteen months of planning, fundraising

and hard work, the Darfield Preschool and Nursery’s

bike track is now fully opera�onal. Last week the

Preschool invited members of the local police team,

Dave Pitkethley and Tony Beaumont to officially open

the track.

This offered an opportunity for Darfield Preschool and

Nursery to thank their contribu�ng financial sponsors,

Fonterra Traffic Safety Fund, as well as the dedicated

help of several preschool families. Joe Budd (NZ Safety

Nets) and local builder Ben Grenfell (Grenfell Builders)

who donated a considerable number of hours to

ensure this project reached comple�on. The children

at Darfield Preschool and Nursery were involved in the

ini�al design of the track and have watched with great

an�cipa�on and excitement as their ideas were

constructed.

There is now huge excitement, on a daily basis, as

children test out and refine their balance and co-

ordina�on skills using either Preschool bikes/scooters

or ones brought from home. Not only are children

developing physical confidence they are also gaining

skills in communica�on and problem solving, as well as

having heaps of fun.

During the opening, Darfield’s friendly local policemen

took the opportunity to remind the children of how to

keep themselves safe, both on the Preschool track,

plus also when using bikes/scooters out and about in

the community.

Isaac Budd cuts the ribbon before children try out the track.

Tony Beaumont talks to the children about Road Safety.

The current owners Irene Irene Irene Irene and Richard Dodson, Richard Dodson, Richard Dodson, Richard Dodson, along with Richard Richard Richard Richard and Kristine Sheppard Kristine Sheppard Kristine Sheppard Kristine Sheppard have owned the cinema for almost three years and during that time have brought it well and truly into the digital age. A new digital projector, installed last November, has not only created a huge fifty percent increase in the cinema’s patronage, but also enabled the owners to accommodate customer’s desires to see the latest movies, and blockbusters (see Everest - about Rob Hall’s Rob Hall’s Rob Hall’s Rob Hall’s 1996 trip to Everest or maybe A Walk in the Woods with Robert Robert Robert Robert Redford Redford Redford Redford and Nick NolteNick NolteNick NolteNick Nolte), as well

as independent movies and documentaries (ie Women He's Undressed, Les Combattants [French subtitled]). Younger members of the family are well and truly catered for during the school holidays when the cinema will open six days a week (from midday) and from this week will offer movies such as Pan, Pixels, Dr Proctor’s Fart Powder, The Martian and Born to Dance, amongst others.

Managing Staff Performance … … so you don’t need Disciplinary Action

Too often I receive calls from exasperated managers needing help in disciplining an employee whose performance has been too poor for far too long. Like a retail outlet whose office person was spending far too much time on Facebook! With good processes it doesn’t need to get this far. Typically, a manager avoids conflict and believes the employee ‘will just improve’. Over time it becomes embarrassing to correct because the manager has endorsed it by implication. Try following this process: • Set very clear expectations from day one - word tasks

clearly enough to measure the outcome unambiguously. • Create a desire for the employee to do well - provide a

reward (even small) or align to their values • Correct them immediately if they don’t do something

quite as you wanted it. Even if it’s small. Make it a positive learning experience - “that was really good - just one thing - can you do it this way next time, please?”

• Celebrate achievements - most people are not totally self-motivating and need the encouragement of knowing they have pleased someone else.

• Chart progress so that everyone can see how well they are doing. This gives continual boosts.

4 year old Samantha-Rose Rolleston enjoys the Darfield Walkways.

Spring has arrived! The Cherry Trees are in Blossom, the daffodils are out and the camellias are in full bloom. Now is a great time to take a walk around the beautiful township of Darfield, using the walkways as a guide. There are two different walks to choose from and both start and finish at the Clocktower on South Terrace, Darfield’s main street. Pamphlet guides are available at the starting point and the walks are also well sign posted along the way by green posts with red discs at the top. The Darfield walks are especially fun for the family; children love to spot the posts and lead the

way, particularly when it leads to the duck pond! The Southern walkway tours past important landmarks and community buildings, then around new subdivisions, before meandering back onto the main street. The Northern walkway ambles

around to the Recreation Centre sports grounds, behind the duck pond and back through the recently planted Westview Park. With the weather getting warmer, the walks are a fabulous way to get out in the sun, stay active and explore the sights of Darfield.

Expoz'Art is a pop up gallery which will open its doors to the public on September 16th. The gallery, run by well-known artists Katrina McGettigan Katrina McGettigan Katrina McGettigan Katrina McGettigan and Michelle Green, Michelle Green, Michelle Green, Michelle Green, is located in the heart of Rolleston next to Snap fitness gym. Michelle has a lifelong love of art and originally started her career as an artist on the West Coast. She has always been inspired by nature, whether it be the hauntingly beautiful forests of the West or the mighty mountains and lakes of the East. Michelle's spiritual connection to nature allows her to capture and focus this mysterious and beautiful energy into all her works of art. In 2012, Michelle felt she was ready to take the next step in her painting career and cast her eyes east across the great Southern Alps of the South Island into the vast expansive region of Canterbury. Equally inspired by the Canterbury scenes, Katrina loves to capture the beauty of New Zealand on canvas. Originally from Methven, Katrina

is now an established artist living in Christchurch. She has exhibited throughout New Zealand in both joint and solo shows and her work has been sold worldwide. Over the course of her career, Katrina has developed a stronger more refined style by experimenting with a wide range of moods, colours and light to depict many landscape and native bird scenes. Katrina is currently undertaking the challenging task of painting one hundred native birds in one hundred days and will have a special launch on day one hundred of the collection. This project has gained popularity landing Katrina a guest

appearance on The Daily Fix - Christchurch's internet TV Channel. Katrina will be painting onsite in the gallery and offers art tuition for children and adults. The opportunity arose for the artists to open the gallery through collaboration with Rolleston Square and The Selwyn Arts Trust. Rolleston Square is keen to provide opportunities for Rolleston residents, so has collaborated with the artists to provide this space for Michelle and Katrina to live their dream of running a gallery - right in the heart of Rolleston.

number of households across the district that have joined Selwyn Gets Ready has now reached 6,029. The Selwyn Gets Ready website is a database which contains contact information of local residents. This information is used by local community response teams to identify who needs assistance in an emergency and who has skills or resources (like first aid skills, generators and four wheel drives) that could help in a disaster. In a disaster a network of community response teams operate in Selwyn with each team responsible for checking on the welfare of their community, identifying what needs to be done in their area, solving local problems if they can and requesting assistance if needed. It is also used to alert residents in emergencies. Householder’s information is r e s t r i c t e d t o t h e i r neighbourhood support group coordinators and the local community response team and cannot be viewed by the public.

Se lwyn D i s t r i c t Counc i l Community Resilience and Emergenc y Managemen t Coordinator, Sue JenkinsSue JenkinsSue JenkinsSue Jenkins, said the competition encouraged new households to join the emergency management and neighbourhood support website. “It’s great to see so many new households sign up. These households can now receive

To the Editors: Because Mr Christenson did not reply to our letters, I rang to talk to him. The Selwyn Council told me he is semi-retired and does not work on a Thursday or Friday. I still dispute the fact they were not aware of the space available in Darfield, as a few weeks ago I attended a Selwyn Council run display of their plans for the future, held in the Darf ie ld Recreation Centre! I wish to know who the Liquor Licensing committee are and who appoints them.

West Melton’s Emily Cammock Emily Cammock Emily Cammock Emily Cammock has kicked off the new season in fine fettle, leading from start to finish and winning the CNC2 at Eventing Canterbury’s inaugural equestrian event of the season. This took place at McLean’s Island, on Sunday, September 13th. Riding Lewis, Emily put in a smart dressage performance to lead the small field on 35 penalties. The pair had two rails down and collected time penalties in the showjumping, but jumped a lovely clear round across country, over the Richard Richard Richard Richard CroweCroweCroweCrowe-designed track, picking up just 15.6 time faults to finish on a score of 62.6.They finished well clear of second-placed Sophie Abbott Sophie Abbott Sophie Abbott Sophie Abbott and Time to Tango Too on 74.8. It was fantastic to see a win for Emily following a traumatic start to her year. She was forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to euthanise her fifteen year o ld thoroughbred, Dambala, due to injury. Emily displayed that she is still in fine form during this event, going on to win handsomely aboard Double J Remember Back on 31.8 penalties, with the CNC105 A going to Kirsty Jacomb Kirsty Jacomb Kirsty Jacomb Kirsty Jacomb and Street Wise on their dressage score of 33.5. Now the focus shifts to Eventing Canterbury’s next event at McLean’s Island on October 11th, building up to the two day South Island One Day Event Championships at the same venue on November 7th and 8th.

The Tasman Regional Skills Weekend will take place on September 26th and 27th at the Mandeville Sport Grounds. The two day event aims to upskill Tasman Young Farmers and TeenAg members across four main areas: Animal Health, Maintenance, Agronomy and Personal Development.

New Zealand Young Farmers (NZYF) Tasman Field Officer Teaghan Lourie Teaghan Lourie Teaghan Lourie Teaghan Lourie said the inaugural event is the first of many events dedicated to development in the region. The Saturday is solely focussed on learning new skills from industry experts.

Following the success of their March Large Cup Go l f Tournament, Greendale Golf Club is running a second one on Sunday, October 4th.

The winning team’s Stableford scores were 163 and 161 respectively. Terrace Downs have generously sponsored this event again with the same prize on offer for the winners, so undoubtedly there will be some keen competition. Tournament organisers have secured a sponsor to provide a

brand new car for any hole in one - achieved on hole No 9. At the previous tournament, Gary GifkinsGary GifkinsGary GifkinsGary Gifkins, the local Darfield ITM manager, came within two feet of achieving this ultimate prize. Ian Cooke Ian Cooke Ian Cooke Ian Cooke went on to prove that a hole in one is achievable but unfortunately for him, it was at hole number 17. After completing nine holes, the Club offers participants a drink and barbecue, as well as a meal at the conclusion of the course. Organisers have secured an outstanding array of goods for the after event auction - a fundraiser that’s bound to be popular. Items offered include a polo shirt signed by Richie Richie Richie Richie McCawMcCawMcCawMcCaw, holiday packages and a whole array of varying, interesting items. All golfers who are currently having difficulty putting to regular sized cups should come along and try the large cups which apparently you just ‘can’t miss’!!

The 12th‐grade boys’ team at Selwyn United - the Colts - recently won Mainland Football’s First Division title. The league comprised the six top‐ranked teams of eleven to twelve‐year‐olds from a total of 48 teams throughout Canterbury. This is the first time a boys’ or men’s Selwyn team has won a regional football title, and coach Martin Martin Martin Martin Allen Allen Allen Allen is justifiably proud. He enthuses about how much he’s enjoyed the season and added: “These boys are the perfect example of what can be achieved with the right attitudes. I am very pleased for the boys that they secured the title, as I know it means a lot to them.” Martin has a strong coaching philosophy and development

policy, and an eye‐catching style of play that he instils in his teams. Most of the Colts have been together for three years playing for Selwyn United, Selwyn Representative, and Selwyn Talent Centre. While Martin is particularly happy with the title win, he admitted: “For me, it’s more about the style in which the team has played, and about the boys realising that playing the beautiful game the way it’s meant to be played, will bring results.” After an exciting season, all of the squad’s players have been selected to represent the Selwyn District at the South Island Footba l l Tournament in Blenheim, held early next month.

Four of Martin’s title winning team were also busy with futsal (indoor football) mid‐season, in July. They were selected for the Canterbury team to attend the N a t i o n a l Y o u t h F u t s a l Championships in Wellington and finished a creditable second behind Nelson Futsal. During the main season, Selwyn Colts scored 38 goals in ten games. This striking goal tally was eighteen more than that achieved by second‐placed Halswell United. Martin is already planning and looking forwards to next season when the Colts move up from nine‐a‐side to the full eleven‐a‐side game. He admits with heartfelt humility: “I’m really privileged to see how these boys are continuing to develop both as football players and wonderful young men.”
