A BIT OF HINDS HISTORY

Christchurch Press 25th September 1879.

Introduction of Gorse

In the 1870’s the Christchurch Press often inserted advertisements on behalf of Robert Wilkin and

Co., Wool Stores, Christchurch. In one dated 25th September 1879 and immediately under a

list of sections being put up for sale in the Hindhope subdivision of Hinds township there appears

a FOR SALE notice.

FOR SALE

“A large stock of English and American SEEDS of the Best Quality.” These included White,

and red clover, cow grass, trefoil, mangold, rye-grass, Timothy, Lucerne, Fescues, carrots and, yes

– really- seeds for growing GORSE!

No wonder then, that stories abound of the trouble and toil farmers and villagers endured to get

rid of this pesky, prickly plant which was originally grown for hedges as was the custom in

“Mother England.”

Gwen Mattingley who has been a resident of Hinds for over fifty years having moved from

Chertsey with her family as a young child, remembers when her family lived for some years in a

house in Gray Street. Their only neighbours were a Mr and Mrs Parsons, and further down the

road, a sly-grog establishment. And there was certainly plenty of gorse growing rampantly,

to a height of six feet, for almost the whole length of Gray Street. It provided many hiding

places for the local youngsters. By Lorraine Baughan

Golden Oldies Hockey TournamentThe Hinds Honeys Golden Oldies

Hockey Team recently hosted a

tournament on the weekend of 13-15

May. The weekend started off with a

registration evening held at the

Ashburton RSA where 21 teams, 305

players registered and enjoyed a night

of catching up with friends, raffles, food

& beverages. Thanks to the RSA for

their wonderful hospitality.

The opening ceremony commenced at 9.30 am on Saturday morning at the Southern

Rugby Football Club followed by games played on four fields. There were 5 Silver

grade teams & 16 Golden Oldies teams. The competitive streak is alive & well in

many of the players. The Hinds School Hockey Catering Subcommittee

provided & sold food for the day, a great effort by the team as it is a fairly

challenging task. Well done, we have had some awesome feedback.

We hosted a dinner at the

Ashburton Racecourse on the

Saturday night with a band playing

until midnight. Our theme was

medieval and the venue was

decorated accordingly, an

absolutely amazing effort. The

meal was catered by All Fed Up

Catering and we have had lots of

positive feedback regarding the

food.

The Sunday games started up again at 9.30 am, albeit a little “slower paced” than

the previous day. Our team then hosted a lunch for the 305 players and a few

helpers. Once again, the food was supplied by All Fed Up Catering and served

by our team, this was once again very well received. The teams then said their

farewells and we all look forward to meeting again next year in Timaru.

As a whole our team were

very happy with the way

the whole weekend went,

we have since received

many thank you notes from

the visiting teams which is

awesome reward for a lot of

planning over the past 18

months. It was a great

team & community effort.

So once again, a huge

thank you to all involved,

it was great.

Golden Oldies Hockey TournamentI would like to take this opportunity to

thank the many people who helped us host

this very successful tournament. The

Lions Club of Hinds & Districts Inc.

were absolutely fantastic assisting us with

putting up & pulling down tents and

providing some sponsorship towards the

Sunday closing lunch.

We had 250 raffles prizes available, a lot of these were sourced from local

businesses, thanks heaps for your support. Special mention must go to the

Southern Rugby Football Club, the grounds were manicured to within an inch of

their life and we appreciate the work involved with that. Thanks to the bar staff

who helped quench the thirst of the many players on the hot & windy days. Pete

Lowe had a huge mission of resurrecting some hockey goals that haven’t seen the

light of day for many years, well done, they were perfect.

We had the loan of tents from Neumanns Tyres, Property Brokers, Versatile,

PGG, Farmlands & we really appreciate their support. We organised local

umpires for all of the games and as always can be a thankless task but our team

very much appreciated the time & effort this crew provided during the two days of

play.

HAVE FUN!“Hinds playcentre”

By Nicole & Maria

St John came to our Centre, with a mini Ambulance. The tamariki enjoyed dressing up in the

Ambulance gear and hearing the siren. We also enjoyed a visit to Mayfield Playcentre, love

watching the children interact so naturally.During the school holidays, some of our mums had a tidy

up and rearrange; the awesome new layout inside, makes

the Centre look much bigger. As well as the inside, a big

clean-up happened inside the shed. Dedicated areas for all

our outdoor toys were created, so hopefully this will help

keep everything at easy access for everyone. Our outdoor

area is a work in progress and we hope to update you very

soon with plans for our new space. We are also planning to

get the wall climbing attachments, onto the fort very soon.

Our mother’s day raffle was a fantastic success. We sold 380 tickets and raised a massive

$572. Our lucky winner was Skye Howie, hope your gran enjoys her fabulous hamper. Thank

you to everyone for all of your support. We purchased a new ride on and play mat for wet

inside days.

Here’s to a fun filled Term Two!

Welcome Term Two!! We had a great start to the

term, with Mother’s Day activities and the

tamariki settling back into Playcentre routine.

We have had a busy few weeks at Hinds

Playcentre. We had a trip to Peel Forest, walking

to the big tree and a crawled through the fairy

stump. Great fun exploring the forest, followed

by a picnic in the sunshine!

HINDS SCHOOL,Principals Thought

We are already half way through Term 2. The 1st of June as seen us lose two families moving to

other districts with the Dairy Change over. We have welcomed three new families to the school

this term. We wish the families leaving us all the best and warmly welcome new families to our

Hinds Community.

This term we have our triannual Board of Trustees elections. I would like to thank the

current Board of Trustees for their commitment to our students, their support of the staff

and their passion for our school. Several Board members are not re-standing and I want to

acknowledge their work and thank them. Next Friday 10th June Board of Trustees Election

voting closes, with our first new Board Meeting on 16th June.

Our students have been busy learning at school and making the most of learning

opportunities. On 31st May 14 of our senior students travelled to Christchurch to attend the

Halogen Young Leaders Day. The Young Leaders Days are a series of events presented

nationally, which showcase inspirational and motivational keynote speakers who share their

leadership experience and expertise with students, with the aim of developing leadership skills

and aspirations in our students. Two of our Senior students have shared their experiences

of the day.

On May the 31st some of the year 7&8's went to the National Young Leaders Day. We had to be at school

by 7:30am. Then we went to Longbeach School to pick up the year 8's from their school. When we got to

Horncastle Arena we found our seats and waited for about ten minutes until we started.

We had lots of inspirational speakers like Brylie Mills , Johnny Wilson, and loads of other speakers. My

favorite speaker was Billy Graham who was a NZ Boxer and in 2012 got New Zealander of the year. He

bought a church one day and now it is a Boxing Academy. At the end we had a performance from Dave

Baxter from Avalanche City. He sang Inside Out and Love, Love, Love. The day was a fun and awesome

day and I learnt lots. Jed Syme

Yesterday I went to Halogen Young Leaders Day with some of my friends, We had to be at school at

7:30am. It was at 15min bus ride to Longbeach School and from there it was a 1-1/2 hour ride to Horn

Castle Arena. We had to put wrist bands on so the security guards would let us in. Once we were in we went

to our seats and waited for 10min. Once the show got started our first speaker Billy Graham came out. Billy

was a bit naughty when he was younger and he even talked like a little Maori boy because his friends were

Maoris. The local cop found Billy and got him into boxing at the local gym. Their gym wasn't the best gym

but the teacher was a master boxer. Billy was boxing other people at the age of 16. At the age of 64 Billy won

the New Zealander of the year award and now runs his own gym.

Our second speaker Zane Scarborough was an attitude manager for schools. Zane has spoken to over

200,000 kiwis about our potential.

Our third speaker James Beck taught us that you don't get to choose who you are but you get to choose your

attitude. When James was younger he had trouble so his teacher helped him. James got into hockey. When

James was nine they made it into the finals for hockey and at the last minute James scored the winning goal

for the team but he used the curved side of the stick. James knew he did the wrong thing. He told the ref

and the game went into over time and the other team scored causing them to lose but he knew he did the

right thing.

It was an awesome day and I’m really pleased I got to go. I learnt a lot. Bradley Isherwood

We are continuing our enrichment programme on Friday afternoons. This term the students

selected learning opportunities with building – junior and senior groups, gymnastics – junior and

senior group, sign language, puppet making, coding, learning to blog, and gardening. If you

have a spare hour on Friday afternoon we would appreciate your time as the building groups

need more adult assistance. We are also on the look out for building supplies such as pieces of

wood, pipe, paint, anything old that the students could upcycle. If you are able to help out

please contact Brigid at the office on 3037208.

There was a very good documentary on TV 3 last week about the New Zealand Education

system and schools today. If you wish you can view this by going to TV3 On Demand, the

programme is called “World Class—Inside NZ Education: A Special Report”. This

documentary looks at the changing face of education for students in today’s world, our current

education practice and overseas research suggest the key elements for success for our students

in an education system. There are significant challenges in our current education system that are

not complimentary to student learning and student holistic development. It is a very good watch

giving us all a helpful insight to understanding the changing world children of today face.

On Tuesday 21st June Hinds Students will participate in the Mid

Canterbury Schools Music Festival, tickets are $14 each and can be

purchased at the Event Centre. We have a very talented choir who

Lowcliffe- Coldstream Hall Society

The Lowcliffe - Coldstream Hall Society met for its Annual General Meeting at

the start of June. During this meeting it was discussed that the hall had not

been used as much as it could have. As such, the Society is organising two

events for the coming months:

─ The Annual Pot Luck Meet and Greet. Successfully held last year, this

dinner event allows everyone in the district, new and old, to catch up

before the calving season begins. It will be held on the 1st of July at the

hall, beginning around5.30pm. We ask that attendees bring a plate of finger food.

─ The 'Main Event'.

For the first time in years, the Hall Society is inviting members of the

community to a ball at the hall. A tentative date has been set for October

15, 2016. Pencil it in your diaries and please stay tuned for more information!

If you or your family or group would like to rent the hall for an event, the

Society has very reasonable rates.

Please contact Martine on 3037900 if you have any questions.

Community Energy Action (CEA) has worked in many partnerships over the years, one of whichhas been the Healthy Homes program, helping kiwi families keep warm and healthy in their homesby providing free insulation, heating, advice and recycled thermally lined curtains.The programme which started in late 2011 and finished late 2014, was a collaboration betweenCEA, the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB), the Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority(EECA) and Environment Canterbury (ECAN), with funding contributed by Orion and MainPower.The Healthy Homes program proposed that insulating homes, therefore making them warmer, drierand healthier, would have a positive effect on the health of the residents, particularly those who hadbeen hospitalised with cold related health issues prior to the programme.CEA has provided over 1500 insulation installations from 2011 to 2014. Of those, researchconducted on 900 of the highest health needs patients shows that nearly 30% of those patientsremained out of hospital, after CEA interventions. This resulted in an overall reduction in hospitalbed days and contributed to savings for the CDHB’s resources of nearly one million dollars. BothCEA and the CDHB are delighted with the results of this program. Chief Executive of CEA, CarolineShone says “the program was extremely successful for the community, and whilst the cost ofinsulation is a one off, the benefits last for years. These results shows how successful collaborativepartnerships can be. However, despite this great work, we estimate that there are still 30,000-50,000 low income homes with inadequate or no insulation in Canterbury alone. A warm, dry houseis critical to the mental and physical health of New Zealanders, as well as benefitting communityresources”.Funding for free insulation through EECA’S Warm Up New Zealand Program is still available,however only until June. CEA provides subsidies for insulation, heating assistance, free recycledcurtains and energy efficiency advice for all in Canterbury. Call 0800 GET WARM, or visitwww.cea.co.nz to find out more. Conditions apply.

CONSUMERS SOUGHT TO ADVISE

ON ASHBURTON’S HEALTH SERVICESNominations are being sought from community members to join a group that will advise on

the design and delivery of health services in the Ashburton district. The Ashburton

Consumer Forum is being established to get advice from everyday health consumers

on issues and ideas for the Ashburton district’s health services.

Anna Dalzell, who is facilitating health transformation work in Ashburton, said a

consumer could be anyone in the community. “We all need health services at some point in

our lives so consumers are pretty much everyone in the community.” “We’re looking for 10

to 15 people who are reliable, able to earn the trust of the community, and above all, able

to seek out and bring the views and ideas of the community to discussions about health

services in Ashburton. The commitment will initially be a monthly early evening meeting but

should settle to approximately quarterly meetings as required.” “If you are passionate about

the people in your community being able to access the best possible services and care from

the Ashburton health sector, and can provide a balanced and constructive view of service

change, we would be interested in receiving your nomination.”

The Ashburton Consumer Forum will advise the Ashburton Health Services and the

Ashburton Service Level Alliance, a collective alliance of healthcare leaders, professionals,

providers and consumers guiding the transformation of healthcare services in Ashburton.

Mrs Dalzell said the group will play an important role in ongoing redesign work occurring in

Ashburton health. “In Canterbury we’re working towards an integrated health system that

provides the right care, by the right person, in the right place and at the right time. “Services

that are organised around the unique needs of people in the Ashburton district while also

aligning with the wider health system are important for the sustainability of Ashburton’s

health services.”

Visit www.ccn.health.nz/JoinCCN to view the position description and express your interest

in joining the Ashburton Consumer Forum. Applications close 1 July 2016

Rural Recycling Drop-off FacilitiesCouncil provides 11 self-serve rural recycling drop-off facility sites in the district, including

one in Hinds (James Street, behind Hinds Tavern) and one a at Willowby (Longbeach

Road, beside the school).

You may have noticed some changes to the resource drop off sites over the last few months.

You can now recycle plastic (numbered 1-7) and all recyclables, apart from glass, no longer

need to be sorted. This is now done at the Timaru Materials Recycling Facility where the

recycling is processed.

There are also new glass recycling bins at the sites. We have had feedback that they are

sometimes hard to access, due to their height. We are working on installing a ramp

using concrete blocks created from waste concrete and gravel. Council appreciates this is

not as quick as one would like, but we hope to have this completed by the end of April

For further information on the rural sites see Councils website

The goal for the HDCA this year was to publish a bi-monthly newsletter that gets dropped inRD3, RD4, RD5 and Hinds township mail boxes.

In these newsletters there is up to date information about activities that have happened,upcoming events, sporting and cultural activities that are available, what local groups havebeen up to, notes from Council, basically anything that is important to Hinds and thesurrounding district!

In order for this to be successful we need support from local businesses in the form ofadvertising and would also appreciate your backing by supplying articles from groups, clubsor organisations that you belong to. This is a great way to let the district know what ishappening or could be happening in the next few months. Articles will be placed in thenewsletter for free and there is a small cost associated with advertising.
