Tomorrow a thank you evening will be held at the Darfield Baptist Church, in recognition of the community work undertaken

by Sam Broughton.

Broughton Sam has just concluded ten years as Youth Pastor at the Church.

“Sam has been an influence for good and built a strong youth community, in the Church, Darfield High School (through 24-7 YouthWork [24-7YW]) and in the wider community by being a voice and advocate for young people, said Darfield’s Baptist Church Pastor, Paul Cossey.

Cossey The youth ministry has provided weekly social activities, Bible and faith-based discussion, camps and outings for Malvern youngsters.

Leadership development is also a k ey com pon en t wi th approximately eighty to one hundred teenagers registering for the annual Easter Camp at Spencer Park. The interest in these events and programmes, highlights the importance of providing encouraging role models and activities which are needed in the community, along with a positive place to hangout.

Sam initiated 24-7YW along with Darfield High School and

through the Malvern Youth Trust; there are now three youth workers working in the school, contributing forty hours.

Last year Sam sensed that he wanted to step back from full time youth leadership at the church, thereby enabling the next generation of youth workers to have an opportunity like he has had, and valued.

“When we advertised,” said Paul, “two of our key volunteer leaders were among the applicants. As well as their local knowledge, their credentials and passion for young people stood out. They are excited about the potential of working together and using their complementary strengths to build a strong team.”

Poiema Heine and Danielle Duff formally began their roles as co-Youth Pastors just prior to Easter. Easter Camp is always a highlight and they prepared to take a large number of young people to Spencer Park.

However the storm at the start of Easter caused a cancellation.

They were both disappointed, but are taking a long term view of their role and know, ‘there is always next year’.

Poiema, who has been a

Sam Broughton, Poiema Heine and Danielle Duff.

24-7YW youth worker at DHS for the past three years, will continue in this role, while Danielle has just started as the third 24-7YW youth worker at the school.

Because of their previous involvement with youth work and the success they have experienced, Poiema and Danielle do not see there being

many drastic changes in their new role. Sam will still be around to offer support and encouragement, although he admits he is still to settle on what he’ll do next.

“This Saturday evening we will be formally thanking Sam for his leadership and contribution to the church and community youth work,” Paul concluded.

Trustpower, along with the local Lake Coleridge community, are calling for former station employees, residents of the village and those with an interest in power generation at Lake Coleridge, to join centenary celebrations, planned for the weekend of December 6th and 7th.

Nestled between Canterbury's Rakaia River and the Lake itself, New Zealand's first state owned power station has been an iconic landmark in the Lake Coleridge community since 1914. This year the Station reaches one hundred years old and preparations are underway to celebrate its centenary with a weekend of festivities.

Plans for the celebration include coach tours viewing the changes within Coleridge Village and Basin and a centenary dinner to be held in Methven on the evening of December 6th. This will be followed by a registrants and general public open day at L ak e Col er idg e V i l lag e.

Trustpower is offering visitors a rare opportunity to see through the Power Station (the last open day was in 2009) and the community is planning a village fair and historic commemoration - including a large parade of rare and vintage vehicles.

Building of the power station s tar ted i n 1911 w i th construction workers arriving to a wild and bleak landscape. Built to address the growing need for el ectr i ci ty i n th e n ew Christchurch settlement, the Station’s siting on a bed of glacial moraine, was hailed as a significant engineering feat.

Three years later, in Dec 1914, the public of Christchurch and surrounds flocked to the opening attended by the then Prime Minister, William Massey.

Seresin Estate and Otago University Press have just announced the winner of the 2014 Seresin Landfall Residency.

The sixth recipient of this prestigious residency is Sandra Arnold from Greendale. The Residency is a four-week writing residency at Waterfall Bay in the Marlborough Sounds, where Sandra plans to work on her fourth book ‘The Eshwell Bridge Witch Project’.

Supporters of the Residency are Marlborough Vineyard Seresin Estate and Landfall, New Zealand's foremost and longestrunning arts and literary journal.

The residency is open to early to mid-career writers, aged twentyone or over, working in any genre, who have previously published at least one book.

Malvern News readers may well remember Sandra from an article in 2011 when her third book, ‘Sing No Sad Songs; Losing a Daughter to Cancer’, Sandra’s heartbreaking yet beautifully c o m p o s e d a c c o u n t, wa s launched.

“The Eshwell Bridge Witch Project

is a novel that explores post-war educational philosophy, social inequality, colour prejudice and the government policies that sent poor British children to Canada, Australia and New Zealand to work on farms and eventually populate those countries with white British stock. The book also explores the bonds of friendship, love and connections that traverse time and place, from 17th century England to present day New Zealand,” said Sandra.

Sandra and husband Chris moved from Christchurch to Greendale eighteen years ago, with their youngest daughter Rebecca, Rebecca (Rebecca’s death was the influence behind Sandra’s book Sing no Songs; Losing a Daughter to Cancer) a dog and a couple of horses. The reasons for their move still hold true today. They wanted to live in a beautiful, peaceful environment with clean air to breathe, space to walk or cycle, mountains, rivers and forests close by, a garden full of trees and birds, but also not to be too far from town. Eighteen years on and

Dr Sandra Arnold winner of the Seresin Estate and Otago University Press, Seresin Landfall Residency.

Sandra and Chris now have four alpacas, three hens and a new dog. Added to that they have fabulous neighbours, some of whom Sandra has got to know through the local book group and through music evenings held monthly in the former Greendale Baptist Church.

“With Darfield being only a few kilometres up the road, and having a dynamic arts scene, great cafes, a well-stocked library and all the services required of a thriving rural town, it’s everything we need,” Sandra concluded.

On May 15th, th e nin th Windwhistle Golf Classic was played at Terrace Downs Golf Resort with a field of over one hundred players. This event is the major annual fundraiser for Windwhistle School and this year’s funds are earmarked for financing extra teaching hours to support the diverse needs of the school’s students.

The day dawned cool and calm, which promised good golfing conditions for players. The day was enjoyed by all and apparently there were also a few contenders for the wooden spoon!

The players enjoyed delicious packed lunches on the course provided by a dedicated group of school mums who met early on tournament day to attend to the catering. Following eighteen holes of golf there was an opportunity to unwind and relax at the Clubhouse before the prizegiving and to support the School further by purchasing raffle tickets. Many spot prize winners got to choose from the prize table which had been generously filled by many of the supporting companies.

Hazlett Rural provided auctioneers for an entertaining action packed auction held with generous prizes donated by High Peak, Mt Hutt Helicopters, Mt Hutt Ski Area, McPhail Sports, Terrace Downs, Crystalp Jewellery, along with Newzengland clay shooting and archery together with meat prizes from Silver Fern Farms and Five Star Beef. Both the auction and raffles were well supported making them outstanding successes.

The day concluded with a delicious buffet meal in the evening attended by players, together with school parents and locals.

The organising committee and Windwhistle School appreciatively thank the many sponsors (see advertisement alongside for a full list of these) that played and donated prizes or money for the school.

As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn’t stop for directions.

I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.

I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends.

I played like I’ve never played before for this homeless man.

And as I played ‘Amazing Grace,’ the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.

As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, “I never seen nothing’ like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.”

Apparently, I’m still lost… It’s a man thing.
