Ageless Jason finally gets his 300th<br />
PHOTOS: PAUL DAWSON<br />
THE BLEAK weather didn’t dampen the<br />
enthusiasm of a big crowd which turned out<br />
to mark Jason Pietzner’s 300th division 1<br />
rugby match for Lincoln on Saturday.<br />
Pietzner, 39, who is in his 20th season for<br />
Lincoln, “retired” in 2014, but has been back<br />
and forward over the seasons since.<br />
Two seasons ago he suffered a serious eye<br />
injury and again it appeared his playing<br />
days were over.<br />
“I’m pretty happy now that it’s finally<br />
rolled around as it’s been hanging over me<br />
for me for a while now,” he said of the 300<br />
games.<br />
For the record Darfield beat Lincoln 50-14.<br />

Health<br />
board<br />
won’t<br />
challenge<br />
over<br />
quarry<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
THE CANTERBURY District<br />
Health Board will not challenge<br />
Fulton Hogan’s bid to change the<br />
conditions under which it must<br />
operate its quarry near Weedons.<br />
Last week <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> revealed<br />
Fulton Hogan has appealed<br />
15 conditions it will be allowed to<br />
operate the 170ha Roydon Quarry<br />
under.<br />
This includes the monitoring<br />
of dust at the quarry and the<br />
requirement to prepare a report<br />
on the results within one month<br />
of a 12-month monitoring programme.<br />
Other conditions Fulton Hogan<br />
is appealing includes the requirement<br />
for six dust monitoring<br />
devices to be installed prior to<br />
quarry activities occurring and the<br />
company needing to ensure heavy<br />
vehicle movements leaving or accessing<br />
the quarry use the direct<br />
route comprising State Highway 1,<br />
Jones and Dawsons Rds.<br />

WEEDONS resident Simon<br />
Moore has a fair point over<br />
his frustration in the latest<br />
Fulton Hogan quarry saga<br />
development.<br />
We reveal on page 1 today<br />
the Canterbury District<br />
Health Board will not get<br />
involved in Fulton Hogan’s<br />
appeal to change some of<br />
the conditions on how it<br />
must operate the Roydon<br />
Quarry.<br />
That challenge includes<br />
how dust is monitored – a<br />
health issue.<br />
The CDHB made a<br />
submission to the hearings<br />
panel which granted resource<br />
consent for the quarry. This<br />
included how dust should be<br />
monitored.<br />
So why doesn’t the CDHB<br />
get involved in contesting<br />
that appeal as the Christchurch<br />
City Council has?<br />
As Moore says: “Do they<br />
not care?”<br />
Also, congratulations to<br />
Jason Pietzner for clocking<br />
up 300 division 1 games for<br />

Lincoln manse<br />
building on the market for $1<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
YOU CAN OWN a piece of<br />
Lincoln’s history for just $1.<br />
The Lincoln Union Church’s<br />
old manse building is up for sale<br />
as long as it is relocated.<br />
Church property committee<br />
member Alex Dunlop said they<br />
can no longer afford to maintain<br />
the manse which was built in 1889.<br />
“We have built a new hall next<br />
to our church and will no longer<br />
require the old manse. We are<br />
keen for someone to remove the<br />
manse from the site to make a<br />
new life for it somewhere else.”<br />
Mr Dunlop said they are<br />
offering the building for $1 in<br />
the hope that someone will<br />
appreciate the history and the<br />
architectural significance of the<br />
building.<br />
Demolition had been planned<br />
for March this year but has been<br />
deferred while the building is<br />
offered for removal first.<br />
The church applied for funding<br />
from the district council so<br />
they could afford to restore the<br />
building but they were unsuccessful.<br />
The district council is proposing<br />
the old manse become a heritage<br />
building and the decision<br />
for this is due in October.<br />
If it does become a heritage<br />
building, it can still be sold and<br />
relocated.<br />
“As the former manse pre-dates<br />
1900, and development of the<br />
property began in the early 1860s,<br />
its site has potential archeological<br />
significance,” a district council<br />
spokesman said.<br />
The 131-year-old building was<br />
the home of the minister of the<br />
Presbyterian Church until the<br />
new manse was built next door<br />
in 1964. In 1887 an architect<br />
was asked to draw up plans for<br />
a seven-room house with stables<br />
and outbuildings.<br />
The manse was completed in<br />
1889 with a small wash house<br />
added in 1892. Further upgrades<br />
included a bath in 1906, a windmill<br />
to replace the hand pump<br />
for water in 1910, electric lights<br />
and a hot water system in 1916.<br />
The Lincoln township was<br />
founded in 1862 after James<br />
comedy night<br />

Edward Fitzgerald subdivided<br />

Mr Dunlop said there were<br />
already established buildings in<br />
Lincoln before the manse was<br />
built but it would be one of the<br />
earliest ones.<br />

Real estate market buoyant<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
THE HOUSING market in the<br />
district appears to be bouncing<br />
back stronger than ever after<br />
Covid-19.<br />
Figures from the Real Estate<br />
Institute of New Zealand’s latest<br />
monthly property report show<br />
the volume of houses sold in the<br />
district increased by 65.5 per<br />
cent between May and June.<br />
It also increased by 19.2 per<br />
cent from the same time last<br />
year.<br />
Said Ray White Town and<br />
Lifestyle Real Estate owner<br />
Brendan Shefford: “With<br />
demand for good property<br />
exceeding supply in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
along with low-interest rates and<br />
the relaxing of the loan to value<br />
ratio for first-time buyers, June<br />
was a truly outstanding month<br />
for us.”<br />
Open homes have been drawing<br />
large numbers of interested<br />
buyers.<br />
“This creates competition for<br />
homeowners but also means<br />
some buyers are missing out.<br />
“Nobody knows what the<br />
future holds but the team and<br />
I are remaining extremely<br />
positive and listing and selling<br />
as strongly as ever, so long may it<br />
continue.”<br />
Harcourts Lincoln principal<br />
officer James Twiss said the<br />
housing market in the district<br />
has come back stronger than<br />
other places across the country.<br />
“This is because of the value<br />
the district is offering to purchasers,<br />
particularly first home<br />
buyers and investors,” he said.<br />
“Banks are now offering<br />
mortgages in the mid two per<br />
cent range and first home buyers<br />
have seen their KiwiSaver<br />
accounts bounce back from<br />
the Covid-19 declines, it makes<br />
sense to get onto the housing<br />
ladder.”<br />
In Rolleston, you can buy a<br />
new three-bedroom home for as<br />
little at $416,000, he said.<br />
“If they are a first home buyer<br />
looking to own or an investor<br />
looking for a low maintenance<br />
property with a good yield then<br />
Rolleston is certainly on their<br />
shopping list.<br />
“This can be said for investors<br />
not only in Canterbury but<br />
from all over the country and<br />
we are seeing plenty of inquiries<br />
from all over particularly<br />

Auckland.”<br />
Mr Twiss said June is traditionally<br />
one of the slow activity<br />
months of the year due to winter<br />
seasonality.<br />
“The real estate market is busy,<br />
not run off its feet, rather more<br />
in a catch-up that is likely to<br />
continue until at least the election.<br />
“From that point forward we<br />
are little uncertain what will<br />
happen, but we are positive given<br />
banks are indicating mortgage<br />
rates will stay low for some time.”<br />
Meet the<br />
candidates<br />
evening<br />
RESIDENTS WILL get a chance<br />
to meet those vying to become the<br />
new <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP next month.<br />
The Rolleston Residents Association<br />
has organised the event<br />
to give the community the opportunity<br />
to engage with prospective<br />
Government representatives in<br />
the lead-up to the general election<br />
on September 19.<br />
Chairwoman Michelle Jones<br />
said: “This will be a great chance<br />
for residents of <strong>Selwyn</strong> to make an<br />
informed choice in the forthcoming<br />
elections.”<br />
She said the event will be ticketed<br />
to enable contact tracing in<br />
case of an escalation in Covid-19<br />
alert levels.<br />
The event will take place at the<br />
Rolleston Community Centre on<br />
August 20 at 7pm.<br />
The candidates which are currently<br />
confirmed to attend are<br />
Nicola Grigg (National), Reuben<br />
Davidson (Labour) and Stuart<br />
Armstrong (Act). Abe O’Donnell<br />
was announced as the candidate<br />
for Greens on Saturday.<br />
Current <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Amy<br />
Adams has decided to retire from<br />
politics following Todd Muller’s<br />
exit as National leader.<br />
Mrs Jones said tickets for the<br />
event will be free.<br />
Love, Learn and Play<br />
the Freckles way!<br />
OPENING OCTOBER <strong>2020</strong><br />
Freckles Early Learning Centre is a brand new purposebuilt,<br />
spacious facility in Rolleston with the best and<br />
latest pedagogical experiences. Freckles is built on a<br />
massive 3500m2 site and is licensed for only 70 children<br />
centre-wide.<br />
When owners Tracy and Gavin Summerfield were approached<br />
by the developer of Falcons Landing, Rolleston to build<br />
another centre, they thought long and hard about it. They<br />
had observed a number of new centres opening in recent<br />
years but most seemed to be concentrating on larger licences<br />
with smaller sites. So they decided they would do something<br />
different. Freckles has been designed with children in mind,<br />
with spacious indoor and outdoor areas, enabling children to<br />
explore, identify, negotiate, take risks and create meaning to<br />
learn about the world around them.<br />
Freckles will operate three stage and age appropriate<br />
rooms employing qualified teachers in all environments.<br />
Tracy says their success with the couple’s The Cat’s Pyjamas<br />
Rolleston and West Melton early learning centres is built<br />
on having the best possible staff and this will continue at<br />
Freckles. “We are committed to staffing the new centre with<br />
qualified, passionate and caring people who believe in our<br />
vision, values and philosophy. We know they will have relevant<br />
skills and experience, that they will bring something unique<br />
to our team, and that they will put the children in their care<br />
before anything else.”<br />
The Freckles vision: creating places that are rich in love,<br />
laughter and learning.<br />
“Every decision we make comes from the heart,” Tracy<br />
adds. “Our aim is to provide beautiful spaces that are full of<br />
happy, nurtured and challenged children, where the wonder<br />
of learning thrives.’ “To us, family is everything. We are<br />
passionate about creating early learning centres that offer a<br />
safe, welcoming and nurturing environment”.<br />
Freckles Early Learning Centre provides space and<br />
opportunity for physical play.<br />
Play is valuable for children’s physical development as<br />
they run, climb, skip, hop, jump, throw and catch. Physical<br />
play helps build on children’s fine and gross motor skills,<br />
and having the space to provide swings, bike tracks, fixed<br />
and moveable play equipment is very important for child<br />
development.<br />
YOU ARE WARMLY INVITED to follow our journey as<br />
Freckles develops and becomes part of the Rolleston<br />
community.<br />

Still time to recognise district’s heroes<br />
FIFTY-NINE people and<br />
organisations have so far been<br />
nominated for <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s Covid<br />
Heroes.<br />
The district council<br />
has partnered with the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> and Te Taumutu<br />
Rūnanga to find people and<br />
organisations in the district<br />
who went the extra mile to<br />
help launch <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s Covid<br />
Heroes.<br />
It is a way for the community<br />
to recognise the<br />
many “amazing” people and<br />
organisations that made a<br />
difference during the Covid-19<br />
pandemic, said mayor Sam<br />
Broughton.<br />
Residents can nominate<br />
an individual, organisation,<br />
business, charity or essential<br />
service which made an<br />
outstanding contribution to<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
LARGE GROUPS of boy<br />
racers meeting up to do<br />
burnouts in the district are<br />
becoming a constant issue for<br />
police.<br />
Acting Sergeant Daniel<br />
Ingram said most of the<br />
congregations are taking place<br />
about 2-3am on Sunday.<br />
the community over the past<br />
few months. Everyone who is<br />
nominated will receive a <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
Covid Heroes certificate.<br />
Said Mr Broughton: “Perhaps<br />
a local shop pulled out<br />
all the stops to make sure they<br />
were there for you when you<br />
needed them, or someone who<br />
helped keep you safe by delivering<br />
your shopping.<br />
“Did a special teacher fill<br />
those Zoom lessons with<br />
fantastic content which helped<br />
your children laugh and learn,<br />
or did somebody simply keep<br />
in contact with you to make<br />
sure you were okay? This is a<br />
chance for us all to say koia<br />
kei a koe – good on you, you’re<br />
awesome.”<br />
The awards have no categories<br />
or conditions. Anyone<br />
who lives in <strong>Selwyn</strong> you can<br />
There are usually about 20<br />
cars involved and they each<br />
take turns at doing burnouts,<br />
he said.<br />
“There are multiple locations<br />
they seem to be going to<br />
including the West Coast and<br />
Bealey Rds intersection, multiple<br />
intersections around West<br />
Melton and towards Mcleans<br />
Island such as Weedons Ross<br />
make a nomination. Every<br />
nominee will receive a certificate<br />
with their name on it<br />
thanking them for being such<br />
a great member of our community.<br />
A selection panel of Mr<br />
Broughton, Liz Brown from<br />
Te Taumutu Rūnanga and<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> editor Barry<br />
Clarke will also select four<br />
recipients that represent the<br />
range of nominations and<br />
invite them to a ceremony to<br />
have their certificate presented<br />
by Mr Broughton.<br />
Nominations are open<br />
until Monday. They can<br />
be submitted online at<br />

a nomination form at any<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Library or Service<br />
Centre.<br />
Police want videos of boy racer burnouts<br />
Rd and Old West Coast Rd.”<br />
“They seem to just pretty<br />
much pick an intersection,<br />
meet there and do burnouts.”<br />
Constable Ingram said if<br />
police see the offenders in the<br />
act, they can be charged with<br />
sustained loss of traction.<br />
The offenders could be jailed<br />
for up to three months or fined<br />
up to $4500 as well as automatically<br />
being disqualified from<br />
driving for at least six months.<br />
“If people are able to get<br />
video footage and registrations<br />
then we can catch up with<br />
them later, impound the vehicle<br />
and require the owner to<br />
advise us of who was driving.<br />

them in the act and that is why<br />
video footage is so important.”<br />

Residents form united front<br />
to fight district council<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
UPPER SELWYN Huts owners<br />
have formed an incorporated<br />
society to represent the<br />
community in discussions on a<br />
new wastewater system for the<br />
settlement.<br />
A community meeting was<br />
held on Saturday to discuss<br />
changes to licensing fees and the<br />
plans for the wastewater system<br />
on Saturday.<br />
The annual fee, relating to the<br />
resident’s licence to occupy the<br />
land, jumped from $585 to $977<br />
per hut on <strong>July</strong> 1.<br />
When the community’s new<br />
wastewater system is installed<br />
in about three years the district<br />
council predicts the licence fee<br />
will reach $4618 a year per hut.<br />
In a Facebook post, new Upper<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts committee member<br />
Chris Rossiter said: “A decision<br />
was made to form an incorporated<br />
society representing all owners<br />
at the Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts.<br />
“The group has the goal of presenting<br />
a united and organised<br />
position and policy from us to<br />
the district council.”<br />
Mr Rossiter said it appears they<br />
are finally being taken seriously<br />
by Mayor Sam Broughton and<br />
district council staff.<br />
PROGRESS: Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts residents have formed an<br />
incorporated society which will lead discussions with the district<br />
council on a new wastewater system for the settlement.<br />
“This battle is far from over but<br />
my feeling from today [Saturday]<br />
is that we have a positive position<br />
and some great arguments with<br />
the people to present those arguments,<br />
going forward.<br />
“The support and admiration<br />
for the current committee and<br />
what they have already achieved<br />
was noted and endorsed by the<br />
attendees.”<br />
The meeting was held to<br />
discuss the impending fees for<br />
a new wastewater system that<br />
residents will have to pay as well<br />
as changes to their licence fee.<br />
In May last year, the district<br />
council voted that the residents<br />
would have to pay in full for a<br />
wastewater scheme, when its current<br />
scheme expires in June <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
The district council’s decision<br />
to decline including the upgrade<br />
in the district-wide rate was due<br />
to climate change threatening the<br />
community’s long-term liveability.<br />

RubbIsh dumping<br />
I totally agree with the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> article on rubbish<br />
dumping.<br />
Chattertons Rd, just off Old<br />
West Coast Rd, is another<br />
area and example of criminal<br />
offending, by that I mean<br />
rubbish dumping.<br />
We have physically picked up<br />
rubbish and disposed of it in the<br />
rubbish bins at the coffee shop in<br />
McLeans Island Forest Park.<br />
This is so annoying when<br />
walking and enjoying nature,<br />
this includes dog owners who<br />
pick up their dog droppings<br />
and bag it and then later drop<br />
it along the way. – Marilyn<br />
Rogers<br />

in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Send emails to:<br />
barry@starmedia.kiwi<br />
goes by that I am not picking up<br />
rubbish from our street frontage.<br />
Mainly fast food wrappers, drink<br />
containers, beer bottles, plastic<br />
bottles. This is usually dumped<br />
after dark. Had enough. – Mike<br />
Wilson<br />

name or abbreviation.<br />
I usually see a lot of litter<br />
all around the district these<br />
days, and I try as I can to collect<br />
it.<br />
But there are two points that<br />
I believe could reduce rubbish<br />
problems:<br />
Some residents don’t have a<br />
red rubbish bin as it is optional,<br />
so they usually put their rubbish<br />
in yellow bins – that is free.<br />
The council needs to change<br />
its procedure; it should provide<br />
a red rubbish bin for all and<br />
charge the cost on top of the<br />
rates (shouldn’t keep it optional).<br />
All main streets and bus stops<br />
need public rubbish bins, there<br />
are just a few public rubbish bins<br />
in the district.<br />
I’ve raised this issue with the<br />
council before, but it believes<br />
putting more bins in streets<br />
is costly and not necessary –<br />
strange. – Peter Almond<br />
Mine expansion<br />
I am absolutely against any<br />
expansion of coal mining<br />
anywhere in New Zealand.<br />
Global climate change is being<br />
fueled – literally – by dirty coal<br />
and oil.<br />
The more of this that goes on<br />
the worse our environment will<br />
become.<br />
The people who want to grow<br />
rich on these dirty fossil fuels<br />
will be destroying the future of<br />
their own children.<br />
Is some extra cash really worth<br />
that? – Randi Hutchinson<br />
Library’s Maori name<br />
I doubt that I have ever read<br />
a more patronising, politically<br />
correct load of rubbish from the<br />
district council than to name<br />
the new Rolleston Library by<br />
a Maori name only (Te Ara<br />
Atea).<br />
If the Maoris have “gifted” a<br />
title for the library then use it by<br />
all means, but for goodness sake<br />
get real and get off the politically<br />
correct wagon and also call<br />
the library a name we can all<br />
understand and identify with –<br />
Rolleston Library.<br />
The mayor might like a Maori<br />
name only but that doesn’t<br />
mean the ratepayers do and if<br />
the mayor and some councillors<br />
don’t agree with me then they<br />
should do their job and start<br />
asking around. – L Allan<br />
Market day<br />
for street<br />
opening<br />
A COMMUNITY market day<br />
is being held on Friday, 10am-<br />
1pm, to mark the opening of the<br />
upgraded section of Tennyson St<br />
in the Rolleston Town Centre.<br />
Active Explorers Rolleston,<br />
one of the businesses along the<br />
street, has organised the event<br />
alongside other nearby companies.<br />
Said centre manager Pat Williams:<br />
“We have the support of<br />
the roading company Issac Construction<br />
who will be providing<br />
a barbecue, free of charge and<br />
the district council who have<br />
several councillors coming down<br />
to attend.”<br />
He said businesses will be<br />
open and have a stall set-up outside<br />
to support the event.<br />
“This will be a fun community<br />
day to mark this milestone for<br />
Rolleston.”<br />
Work began in January to<br />
upgrade the road to a peoplefriendly<br />
high street with wider<br />
pavements, fresh planting, seating,<br />
landscaping and lighting.<br />
It will act as the new town<br />
centre’s spine, with a lively mix<br />
of retail, entertainment and<br />
community spaces, anchored by<br />
Te Ara Ātea and a town square.<br />

The Flaming Rabbit<br />
streaks past its<br />
second birthday<br />
A steamroller, a fire and a strong Nor’wester is said to be where The Flaming Rabbit<br />
got its name. The 1932 fire spread so quickly from Rolleston to Springston and<br />
Lincoln that everything in its path was decimated.<br />
The Flaming Rabbit is <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s home of in-house dry-aged beef, where owners Paul<br />
and Tessa raise the South Devon cattle, used in their ageing chiller process, on their<br />
Weedons lifestyle property.<br />
The popular Lincoln bar and restaurant offers friendly dining with a strong focus on<br />
beef and dry aged beef, along with a selection of Monteith’s and Heineken beers plus<br />
a range of local wines and cocktails.<br />
Throughout the year, The Flaming Rabbit hosts a number of events including their famous<br />
wine club on the first Wednesday of the month, Beef ‘n’ Beer dinners, Bottomless Brunches<br />
(26th <strong>July</strong>), Whisky Evenings (12 Aug), Bubbles Evening (23 Sept) and Gin evening (14 Oct).<br />
Regular specials Monday to Wednesday include Gold Card lunches available 7 days until<br />
3pm, $9 kids meals and Thursday, $20 Curries.<br />
Manager Byron is a keen multi sportsman; the restaurant actively supports local sports<br />
groups - Lincoln cricket and Springston rugby – and features live sports coverage on all<br />
their big screens.<br />

Our People<br />
Bernadette May is Tai<br />
Tapu School’s first<br />
female principal. She<br />
speaks to Devon Bolger<br />
about her passion for<br />
education and wellbeing<br />
How has your time at Tai<br />
Tapu School been so far?<br />
It has been incredibly<br />
rewarding. I started in<br />
October of last year. I think<br />
it was good to have the one<br />
term last year, especially with<br />
Covid-19. The parents, the<br />
students and staff have all been<br />
so welcoming. I came from a<br />
very large school, St Martins,<br />
and I just look at the students<br />
we have here and they are really<br />
uniquely caring and communityfocused.<br />
The community has<br />
made my start here feel very<br />
very positive. I also found out<br />
I am the first female principal<br />
in 152 years of the school being<br />
open. We all celebrate that fact<br />
in the office, it is very interesting<br />
indeed.<br />
How did you end up with this<br />
position?<br />
I was probably ready to be a<br />
principal about eight years ago. I<br />
have always lived in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />
have visited the school in the<br />
past and I really liked the feel of<br />
INSPIRE: Bernadette May with year 3 and 4 pupils at Tai Tapu school.<br />
it, I love that it is a 150-year-old<br />
school but it is unique because<br />
the buildings are less than 10<br />
years old. At the beginning of<br />
last year, we talked as a family<br />
and I decided I would start<br />
putting my application in for<br />
principalship. I only applied for<br />
one job and it was this one, I<br />
didn’t want to go anywhere else.<br />
I was very fortunate that when<br />
the time was right and the job<br />

came up, I achieved that goal. I<br />
feel very blessed.<br />
How does it feel to be the first<br />
female principal at Tai Tapu<br />
School?<br />
I feel really privileged to<br />
Bernadette May<br />
Finding balance to be successful principal<br />
THE <strong>2020</strong> GENERAL ELECTION<br />
AND REFERENDUMS<br />
be the first female to be<br />
appointed principal at Tai Tapu<br />
but also regardless of gender, I<br />
feel really privileged to be the<br />
principal.<br />
Could you tell me about your<br />
career in education?<br />
I came into education slightly<br />
later, I worked in science before.<br />
This is my second career.<br />
When my husband Darryl and<br />
I decided we wanted to start<br />
having kids, I wanted to be<br />
knowledgeable about it so I went<br />
to university to get a degree in<br />
child psychology. A little bit<br />
extreme I know, but I did it.<br />
Then when the kids were ready<br />
for school I decided to train as<br />
a teacher with absolutely no<br />
intention of going into teaching.<br />
It was just so that when I was<br />
talking to the teachers I would<br />
know what they were talking<br />
about. However, once I was<br />
studying I just loved it. I realised<br />
I had found my passion and that<br />
felt really good. I first started<br />
as a teacher in about 1998, so a<br />
while ago now, and it all went<br />
from there. I spent five years<br />
teaching then I was made acting<br />
deputy principal at Elmwood<br />
School. I stayed in that deputy<br />
principal role and then moved to<br />
St Martins School, I was there for<br />
13 years.<br />

Passion projects<br />
podcast launched<br />
From left <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Youth Councillors Nevaeh Maeder, Laura Hann, Issy Kennedy recording an episode of the podcast.<br />
Inspiring young people to follow their passions is the goal of the latest initiative from the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Youth Council.<br />
The Youth Council is launching a podcast series featuring interviews with 14 inspiring Cantabrians<br />
talking about their passions, from designing for London and New York fashion weeks to looking<br />
after endangered sheep.<br />
Youth Council member Laura Hann says they aimed to make the podcasts a quick burst of<br />
inspiration to encourage other young people.<br />
“We thought it was good to have young people who have succeeded in their passions to talk<br />
about them and how to achieve their goals. They were all really talkative and interesting and a 10-<br />
15 minute podcast is a really easy thing to listen to on the way to school. We’re hoping people will<br />
take inspiration for their hobby, or hear something and think, ‘that sounds interesting I could take<br />
that up and look at it further’.”<br />
Their interview with cinematographer John Ross certainly achieved that for her, Laura says,<br />
inspiring her to turn her passion for videography into a career.<br />
Episodes will be released weekly starting on Thursday 23 <strong>July</strong> with an interview with Anton<br />
Phillipson on the fascinating places his passion for drawing cars has taken him.<br />
The podcast will be available on Spotify by searching <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council Passion Series<br />
podcast. Links to extra resources and information on each week’s topic will also be made<br />
available through the Council website and <strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries.<br />
Celebrating a decade of community<br />
A decade of community catch ups and support has been celebrated.<br />
The first meeting of the Springs Day Club since the Level 4 lockdown would have had a party<br />
atmosphere anyway. However, the meeting had an extra special flavour as the group of more than 50<br />
held a birthday celebration for the 10 years the club has been meeting.<br />
One of four day clubs for senior citizens in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, supported by the Council’s Community Fund, the<br />
Springs Day Club began as a craft and care group.<br />
Today, the group meets monthly at the Lincoln Event Centre from 10am to 3pm. It's an opportunity to<br />
connect and meet new people in a caring environment. Activities include bowls, raffles, board and card<br />
games, bingo, guest speakers and quizzes. Volunteers prepare a hot lunch and afternoon tea is provided.<br />
The club has proved very popular, providing valuable connections and activities for members, and even<br />
a global pandemic couldn’t dampen their enthusiasm, coordinator Rita Tipples says.<br />
“The majority of the group were really keen. Everyone was so happy to come back.”<br />
The Council’s Community Fund supports groups and organisations that contribute to community<br />
wellbeing. It is available for <strong>Selwyn</strong>-based not-for-profit community groups looking to run a project,<br />
event or initiative in the district.<br />
New members to the four day clubs are always warmly<br />
welcomed. You can contact any of the clubs on:<br />
Springs Day Club – Sally Marchant 021 157 8373<br />

Thousands love <strong>Selwyn</strong> Directory<br />
Thousands of residents have been searching for <strong>Selwyn</strong> businesses<br />
on the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Directory.<br />
The Council-run directory offers businesses a free listing providing<br />
the opportunity to advertise their details including a map location,<br />
contacts, website and social media links and a summary of their<br />
business. It also allows businesses to advise customers about their<br />
online sales platform and let people know if they are able to deliver.<br />
Figures show the directory is visited more than 7000 times a<br />
month and sees up to 2000 people each month in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />
Christchurch area checking out business listings.<br />
The directory has seen a boost in popularity since the end of the<br />
Level 4 lockdown, more than doubling its average number of visits a<br />
day as <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents look for local business options.<br />
Restaurants and cafés were the most searched for businesses,<br />
followed by sports and recreation and accommodation.<br />
The directory also has a job vacancies page, where businesses can<br />
list job openings and advertise direct to <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents.<br />
To search the directory or register your business visit<br />

Param Kaur came to New Zealand for the dairy industry, but stayed for the malt and lifestyle.<br />
Param moved to New Zealand four years ago to study at Lincoln University hoping for a gateway into the<br />
dairy industry. But after completing a Graduate Diploma in Science in 2017, Param found herself working at<br />
a company producing not milk, but beer.<br />
She received a phone call from malt growers Gladfield Malt in December 2017 about working as their lab<br />
technician. “It was like an early Christmas present, I can’t express in words.”<br />
Since her first day of work, Param says her kiwi and migrant co-workers have been welcoming and<br />
accepting. “It feels like an extended family for me. Sometimes I get a text from Gabi saying, ‘Drive safely,’<br />
and if they think you are feeling low, they ask if you are okay.”<br />
From her lab window at Gladfield, she can see the mountains. In winter they have<br />
snow on them – a sight she never saw in India.<br />
In fact, when she first arrived in February 2016, she found it freezing compared to the<br />
40 degrees Celsius she was used to. “February is not a cold month, but when you<br />
come from India you do feel cold. I had to wear an extra layer of clothing.” she laughs.<br />
While she misses Indian food and her family, Param enjoys cooking her own Punjabi<br />
dishes and volunteering at Canterbury’s Holi and Diwali festivals. Now settled in<br />
Lincoln, she is hoping to get New Zealand residency.<br />
She enjoys that everything is in walking distance and on her walks she often notices<br />
how welcoming everyone is. “When people pass by, they smile at you and say, ‘hi,’<br />
and ask how you are. You don’t find that in many countries.”<br />

Our People<br />
‘I love working in classrooms’<br />
• From page 13<br />
What are the differences<br />
between working in a city<br />
school and now a semi-rural<br />
school?<br />
I think it is the heart of the<br />
school. There are certain things<br />
that happen here that you would<br />
never get at a city school like pet<br />
day. It is also their very strong<br />
connection to sporting events<br />
and being physically active.<br />
Having said that, the parents are<br />
also really passionate about their<br />
children getting a well-balanced<br />
education, that’s not unique to<br />
rural schools but I think there<br />
is a set of community values<br />
and connections here that are<br />
fantastic. I would say that is the<br />
main thing.<br />
What are your goals for the<br />
school?<br />
We have four cornerstones<br />
that we are working on. We<br />
are looking at making sure<br />
we have really in-depth values<br />
at the school. The first is ako<br />
which is about learning and<br />
everyone being a learner. Then<br />
there is hauora which is about<br />
well-being, kotahitanga which<br />
is community partnership and<br />
our whakapapa which is about<br />
culture and identity. We have<br />
already been doing quite a bit of<br />
work on those things. They are<br />
our four big goals. To be quite<br />
honest, I jump up in the morning<br />
and feel blessed about coming<br />
here. That is not an exaggeration<br />
I genuinely mean that. I love<br />
working in classrooms and Im<br />
very passionate about well-being<br />
and kids having agency so they<br />
can direct their own learning.<br />
Some of the things that we have<br />
done here is to really raise the<br />
focus on our school council. We<br />
have an amazing team called<br />
School Spirit and its their job to<br />
find fun things to do around the<br />
school that gets kids physically<br />
active and makes them feel good<br />
about themselves.<br />
Could you tell me about your<br />
family?<br />
I have a husband and we have<br />
known each other since we were<br />
16. We have been married for 37<br />
years. We have three kids and<br />
seven grandchildren. My mum<br />
has a big family, she is one of 12<br />
and my dad immigrated to New<br />

How long have you lived in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>?<br />
We have lived in Prebbleton for<br />
12 years and are now building a<br />
house in Lincoln.<br />
What do you like to do for<br />
fun?<br />
I mountain bike, I swim and<br />
I run. They are the three things<br />
that help to maintain my wellbeing.<br />
For relaxation, I paint<br />
and I love to read trashy novels,<br />
which is terrible but I do. My<br />
husband and I have travelled<br />
extensively but now we are<br />
looking for things we can do in<br />
our backyard. Each year we try to<br />
learn something new, last year it<br />
was fusion cooking and this year<br />
my husband and I are picking<br />
up a language and have chosen<br />
te reo. One of the things I have<br />
learnt over the years is for me to<br />
be extremely successful in the<br />
job I do, I have to have balance<br />
outside of it.<br />
Do you have a favourite school<br />
subject?<br />
I actually have a range<br />
of favourites. it is really<br />
interesting because throughout<br />
all of my high school education<br />
I was home-schooled and I<br />
loved the sciences and<br />
mathematics. I like all the<br />
sciences, physics, biology,<br />
chemistry all of those but I don’t<br />
actually like working in the<br />
scientific field. It is because it’s<br />
so isolating and I’m a real people<br />
person. Those are the topics<br />
that I love because they are so<br />
challenging and interesting. I<br />
also really value the arts and<br />
physical education.<br />

Mike<br />
Bowie is an<br />
ecologist<br />
who<br />
specialises<br />
in entomology (insects and<br />
other invertebrates). Each<br />
week he introduces a new<br />
species found in his backyard<br />
at Lincoln. His column aims<br />
to raise public awareness<br />
of biodiversity, the variety<br />
of living things around us.<br />
Check out the full list of<br />
invertebrates found at www.<br />
inaturalist.org/projects/<br />

IN 1987 the famous American<br />
biologist Edward O Wilson<br />
coined the phrase “the little<br />
things that run the world”<br />
with reference to the ecological<br />
importance of invertebrates as<br />
movers and shakers.<br />
THeir sheer mass puts other<br />
fauna into insignificance. For<br />
example, each hectare in the<br />
Amazon rainforest contains one<br />
billion invertebrates.<br />
One the most abundant insects<br />
contributing to this numerical<br />
dominance are the springtails, or<br />
Collembola.<br />
THey occur from Antarctica<br />
to the tropics and more than<br />
6000 species have been described<br />
worldwide. New Zealand has over<br />
240 Collembola species and many<br />
more are yet to be described by<br />
entomologists.<br />
Most springtails are 2-3mm<br />
long and are found in the soil<br />
or dead bark, where they break<br />
down organic matter.<br />
However in New Zealand,<br />
some colourful giant native<br />
species 8mm in length are found<br />
under bark or in rotten logs in<br />
native forests. Springtails are<br />
often found in massive numbers<br />
in puddles or damp places on<br />
footpaths after rain.<br />
THey get their common name<br />
because most springtails contain<br />
an abdominal appendage called<br />
a furca that can propel them 10-<br />
15mm when jumping.<br />
Although some springtails<br />
in large numbers can do<br />
damage to seedlings or crops<br />
of young lettuce, lucerne, peas<br />
and clover, their diet usually<br />
consists of decaying vegetation<br />
and the associated bacteria and<br />
fungi.<br />

healthy this healthy winterth<br />
Your family’s health is important during<br />
winter, in particular, as damp cold houses<br />
can have a huge effect particularly for the<br />
very young, elderly and those who are ill.<br />
Make sure your home is warm, ideally<br />
between 18 and 21 degrees. Reducing<br />
the draughts in your home will help as<br />
they are a major way that buildings can<br />
lose heat by up to 25 per cent. Close the<br />
curtains when the sun goes down and trim<br />
any trees that prevent the sun getting into<br />
your home.<br />
Keeping your home dry is also very<br />
important. The average family home can<br />
produce around 12 litres of water a day.<br />
A portable dehumidifier can remove<br />
moisture and ideally should be placed in<br />
the coldest part of your home. Reducing<br />
the amount of moisture helps with people<br />
who are allergic and prevents mould,<br />
moisture and condensation on the<br />
windows.<br />
In-home ventilation systems replace<br />
the damp air inside your homes with<br />
dry, filtered air controlling condensation<br />
and excess moisture. There is plenty of<br />
information online about the different<br />
brands and sizes.<br />
Try not to dry clothes indoors as this<br />
creates moisture in the air. Drying them<br />
outside is not only free from the cost<br />
of electricity but sunlight kills bacteria,<br />
making your clothes healthier for you and<br />
your family. If it is raining use a shed or<br />
garage as an alternative.<br />
If you use a clothes dryer, make sure<br />
your clothes are properly spun first and<br />
either vent it outside or leave windows<br />
open.<br />
To reduce moisture caused by steam,<br />
always open a window when you are<br />
showering and when you are cooking on<br />
the stove top. Use pot lids to reduce the<br />
amount of steam escaping. Keep doors to<br />
bedrooms closed at these times as steam<br />
can make beds damp.<br />
Finally insulation can make a huge<br />
difference to keeping your house<br />
warm and save on heating costs. The<br />
Government has subsidies available,<br />
including the EnergyWise Home Grants,<br />
to help with ceiling and floor insulation,<br />
draught stopping and hot water cylinder<br />
wraps. Visit www.energywise.govt.nz.<br />

Swimming pools make<br />
a splash this year<br />
Swimming pools have made a huge<br />
splash in popularity this year as people<br />
look towards staying at home rather than<br />
travelling overseas this summer.<br />
Imagine the sound of laughter as family<br />
and friends enjoy splashing around in<br />
your own back yard. For a locally owned<br />
and operated swimming pool supplier<br />
and installer, look no further than Lagoon<br />
Pools who will make your dream come to<br />
life before the warmer weather arrives.<br />
“Now is an ideal time to organise the<br />
install of your pool and gives plenty of<br />
time for finishing work and landscaping<br />
ready for the summer days. If you’re<br />
wanting your pool completed for summer<br />
it’s best to get things in the system now,”<br />
says Julie Hastings who owns Lagoon<br />
Pools with husband Warren.<br />
Lagoon Pools installs pools in sizes<br />
to suit both large and small sections,<br />
ranging from five metres to 12 metres in<br />
length with a variety of widths, colours<br />
and shapes. There really is a pool for any<br />
shaped site.<br />
Lagoon Pools supplies 100% composite<br />
fibreglass pools and, with patented<br />
innovations, every swimming pool is<br />
supported by their lifetime structural<br />
warranty and a lifetime osmosis warranty.<br />
Additional features including pool<br />
lighting, fountains and spa jets etc which<br />
enhance the pool area transforming it into<br />
an extended living space where family and<br />
friends can relax in the outdoors, Julie<br />
says.<br />
It takes around five days to install a pool<br />
and the finishing touches can take from<br />
four to eight weeks depending upon the<br />
design. Not only does Lagoon Pools install<br />
the pool, they can offer the complete<br />
package including paving, decking,<br />
landscaping, fencing etc.<br />
“We are really excited this year to help<br />
add some joy into many households<br />
with a great pool choice helping to create<br />
the ideal family gathering spot while<br />

Turning a dream into reality<br />
The opportunity to work from home<br />
may have seemed like a dream but the<br />
actual reality that was forced upon us<br />
due to Covid 19 will leave some looking<br />
forward to being back in the office and<br />
some looking at it as a long term option.<br />
Firstly set up your “home office” space,<br />
ideally with a door you can shut with<br />
good air circulation and that is well lit.<br />
Place your desk near windows or by the<br />
balcony so you get enough natural light. A<br />
good view from this spot can be the best<br />
source of inspiration. Make sure that your<br />
work area is also within close proximity<br />
to power outlets so that you can easily<br />
charge gadgets like your laptops, tables<br />
and smartphones.<br />
If you don’t have a separate room get<br />
creative by separating your office with<br />
a low bookcase or room divider or by<br />
making a sign.<br />
Choose the right desk at the right<br />
height. When you are on your computer,<br />
your eyes should be level with the top of<br />
the screen. Your office chair should be an<br />
investment as you will spend many hours<br />
sitting in it and being comfortable will<br />
help you get through the day – and you<br />
don’t want to have a sore back. Ideally it<br />
should be at a height where you can touch<br />
the ground.<br />
If you have the luxury of space, add in a<br />
comfortable accent chair or couch giving<br />
you a separate place to read rather than<br />
having to sit at your desk all the time.<br />
Being organised will help you focus on<br />
work when there are other distractions<br />
around and also add a senses of calm.<br />
Storage does not have to be an ugly filing<br />
cabinet but could include shelving with<br />
brightly coloured folders and drawers<br />
to hide away all the stationery. Adding<br />
a plant can make a huge difference or<br />
think about including some visual aspects<br />
for you to enjoy, for example, a special<br />
artwork.<br />
The most important thing is to make<br />
your office space somewhere you want to<br />
be. If it is cold, dark or uninspiring you<br />
will be less likely to enjoy working from<br />
home.<br />

HOME PROFESSIONALS<br />
Looking after your<br />
pump and filter needs<br />
Pumps & Filters is the go to place for<br />
solutions to your domestic or business<br />
needs whether it is a low pressure shower,<br />
a pump for your caravan or energy<br />
savings for your water use.<br />
Nitrates in drinking water has become<br />
a recent concern and they can provide<br />
a solution with a under bench filtration<br />
system which means your glass of water<br />
will taste as it is meant to be.<br />
For current caravan and campervan<br />
owners or those looking to see local with<br />
one in the future instead of travelling<br />
overseas, Pumps & Filters has a range of<br />
12v and 24v campervan pumps in stock.<br />
A low pressure shower is never good,<br />
particularly in the colder months, and is<br />
more common in older homes. A solution<br />
is a shower booster pump which is easily<br />
installed and can boost hot water pressure<br />
throughout the entire home. Pumps &<br />
Filters also supply underfloor heating<br />
pumps.<br />
Saving energy is often on the top of land<br />
owners’ lists whether you have a lifestyle<br />
block or a small farm. The company has<br />
a range of household pumping options<br />
and brands to choose from providing<br />
constant water pressure. The energy<br />
savings come via inverter technology and<br />
they are suitable for both drinking water<br />
in domestic systems and for gardening<br />
applications.<br />
Future plans for Pumps & Filters<br />
include irrigation nozzles and pop-ups for<br />
domestic installations.<br />
The company specialises in solutions,<br />
delivering a fast and efficient service to<br />
residential, commercial and industrial<br />
customers throughout Canterbury. They<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />
Mercedes joins electric revolution<br />
DON’T PUT ME down as a nonbeliever,<br />
but I have always been a<br />
little sceptical that burning fossil<br />
fuel is the cause of all our climate<br />
change and global warming<br />
issues.<br />
But the recent coronavirus alert<br />
levels 3 and 4 lockdown indicated<br />
that without so many cars on the<br />
road, air quality improved, and<br />
pollution, which is claimed to<br />
affect climate change, was lower.<br />
I’ll take that on the chin and<br />
going forward I’ll be more aware<br />
of how burning oil products<br />
seemingly affects our everyday life.<br />
I guess that’s where electricity<br />
comes in, cars with motors as<br />
opposed to engines have become<br />
the vehicles of choice for those<br />
who vehemently believe electric<br />
vehicles are the way of the future.<br />
EVs aren’t new but they are<br />
resurgent at the moment, and you<br />
can buy anything from a Nissan<br />
Leaf to a Tesla; in-between there<br />
are a myriad of other options<br />
and one which clearly sits in the<br />
luxury car class is the Mercedes-<br />
Benz EQC 400, also branded as a<br />
sport utility vehicle.<br />
It’s no surprise that Mercedes-<br />
Benz is marketing its first EV<br />
down under, it’s only a matter<br />
of time before more luxury<br />
car brands ply their electric<br />
technology globally.<br />
However, a big surprise is the<br />
EQC 400’s price tag. At $142,900<br />
it’s not cheap, but when you think<br />
a few years ago a new Nissan Leaf<br />
or Mitsubishi iMieV was around<br />
half that price, and today’s fully<br />
electric Kia Niro and Hyundai<br />
Kona both sit around $70k,<br />
the EQC 400 seems like a real<br />
bargain.<br />
I think it is, if you take into<br />
account what you get in terms<br />
of luxury, specification and<br />
technology, it is an absolute<br />
champion financially.<br />
The EQC 400 is all electric,<br />
there’s no hybrid technology<br />
here, it is powered by two electric<br />
motors, one up front and one in<br />
the rear obviously creating drive<br />
to all four corners.<br />
Pumping out 300kW and<br />
a massive 760Nm of torque,<br />
power is developed from zero<br />
revolutions, the instant you<br />
depress the accelerator full power<br />
is available; consequently, the<br />
EQC 400 is quick, it will launch<br />
to 100km/h from a standstill<br />
in 5.1sec, and to make a quick<br />
highway overtake it will blast<br />
from 80 to 120km/h in 4.5sec.<br />
Of course, that’s not how we<br />
drive on an everyday basis but<br />
it’s nice to know if you need the<br />
energy it is there on tap. That’s<br />
some of the appeal of electric,<br />
there is a vibrancy you don’t<br />
get with internal combustion<br />
engines, unless you are buying a<br />
vehicle with an incredibly high<br />
performance engine.<br />
Mercedes-Benz wouldn’t have<br />
built a fully electric vehicle had<br />
it not been able to provide the<br />
performance and luxury akin to<br />
what the brand represents, and<br />
the EQC certainly delivers in<br />
those areas.<br />
It also has to be user-friendly,<br />
just like the raft of EVs that are<br />
plying our market it’s a simple<br />
procedure to plug in at home or<br />
any of the charge stations that are<br />
being rolled out nationwide. And<br />
there are many more planned<br />
for the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district, notably<br />
at Arthur’s Pass, Springfield,<br />
Dunsandel and Leeston.<br />
It must be remembered that<br />
if you live in an old home like I<br />
do, you would need to have an<br />
electrician guide you as to the<br />
safety of wiring and, of course,<br />
extension cables are a no-no.<br />
On the road the EQC drives<br />
like any normal SUV, and the<br />
way you drive is no different to<br />
any other Mercedes-Benz SUV.<br />
The controls and instruments are<br />
pretty much the same. There are<br />
even several drive modes that<br />
you choose, from economical<br />
to sport. I only tried sport for<br />
a short burst and came to the<br />
MERCEDES-BENZ EQC 400: The company’s first fully electric vehicle is now available in the New<br />
Zealand market.<br />
realisation you don’t really need<br />
that mode, sure it delivers a vivid<br />
response but even in standard<br />
mode there is an underlying feel<br />
of power.<br />
The downside of using the<br />
wonderful burst of energy is the<br />
rapid depletion of battery energy.<br />
Mercedes-Benz rate the EQC<br />
400 as having a 430km range,<br />
that would be under the most<br />
favourable operating conditions.<br />
When I picked the test car up it<br />
was registering a range of 280km.<br />
With my style of driving it<br />
quickly dropped to 180km even<br />
though I hadn’t driven 100km.<br />
You need to be mindful that<br />
stop-start driving and exploring<br />
acceleration will quickly deplete<br />
the batteries of their energy.<br />
Also, I found it frustrating<br />
that even when sitting at a<br />
standstill in cold temperatures<br />
the range drops by about 10km in<br />
24 hours.<br />
In terms of cost to replenish<br />
battery supply there are<br />
complicated mathematical<br />
equations to consider, everything<br />
from service provider to night<br />
and day rates, but a rough figure<br />
of around $10 to fully charge<br />
from zero per cent is a guideline.<br />
And the length of time you<br />
• Price – Mercedes-Benz<br />
EQC 400, $142,900<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4761mm; width,<br />
1884mm; height,<br />
1623mm<br />
• Configuration – Two<br />
electric motors, fourwheel-drive,<br />
300kW,<br />
760Nm, automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 5.1sec<br />
need to charge also varies on the<br />
supply and whether you want to<br />
completely top up or maintain a<br />
mid-level of supply.<br />
Not only does the EQC<br />
400 have the latest generation<br />
mechanical and electronic<br />
technology, it is also the<br />
quintessential SUV for today’s<br />
busy lifestyle. It has space and<br />
functionality that will appeal<br />
to the modern family, and it is<br />
loaded with all the gadgetry that<br />
will satisfy an owner for decades.<br />
It is also a darn nice thing to<br />
drive, its handling combines<br />
well with power delivery. I took<br />
the test car on a flat inland route<br />
which only presented a few tricky<br />
corners.<br />
Considering at almost<br />
2.5-tonne the EQC 400 tips the<br />
scales quite tubby, it has direct<br />
turn-in with beautiful steering<br />
feedback delivered from huge<br />
21in sport specification Michelin<br />
tyres.<br />
Body control is organised<br />
and balanced, while comfort<br />
levels are high. It also must be<br />
mentioned that sound is almost<br />
non-existent.<br />
Sure with the absence of engine<br />
noise there is a heightened<br />
awareness of tyre sound and<br />
wind gushes around the mirrors,<br />
but it’s fair to say the EQC 400<br />
is an enjoyable drive, and those<br />
who do go down that road,<br />
so to speak, will reap many<br />
benefits along with knowing<br />
they are doing their bit for the<br />
environment.<br />
As for me, I need to get over<br />
range anxiety, I was very mindful<br />
of the distance I travelled,<br />
knowing that at some point I’d<br />
need to find a charger. That’s<br />
a matter of reconfiguring the<br />
way my mind is mapped and<br />
adjusting to that.<br />
I guess with the way my<br />
finances are, and my age, owning<br />
an EV will probably never be a<br />
reality anyway.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
New showhome village at<br />
Faringdon<br />
Wallingford Villas, Wallingford Crescent.<br />
Faringdon’s latest showhome village<br />
recently celebrated its opening, at The<br />
Borough in Rolleston, where most of the<br />
17 planned showhomes are already open.<br />
Diversity is a key aspect of this<br />
showhome village, with respective<br />
building companies adding their own flare<br />
through design, architectural elements or<br />
features like lighting, interior colours and<br />
siting of the house on its land.<br />
“The approach taken by each building<br />
company is unique with no two homes<br />
the same; an approach we like to<br />
promote,” says Adam Robertson, Business<br />
Development Manager for Hughes<br />
Developments.<br />
A showhome to view the Faringdon<br />
Villas has been opened at the Wallingford<br />
Villas development. The single storey,<br />
3-bedroom villas have open plan living,<br />
one bathroom and a single internal-access<br />
garage. Two types of villa are available<br />
with a common theme blending them<br />
together while they are differentiated<br />
with features such as roof pitch, style<br />
and colour schemes. These high quality<br />
‘spec’ houses come fully landscaped<br />
on approximately 300sqm freehold<br />
titles. Adam says these villas sell from<br />
$416,250, and have been attracting<br />
considerable interest. The showhome is<br />
open from 11.15-11.45am every Sunday<br />
at Wallingford Crescent (off Lemonwood<br />
Drive), or by appointment.<br />
With over 1,800 sections sold since<br />
the beginning of Faringdon, it is now a<br />
place 5,000 Rolleston residents call home.<br />
Thirteen more residents move there each<br />
Faringdon<br />
sales office.<br />
week and 20 reserves and parks have been<br />
created there.<br />
Building companies represented in the<br />
new showhome village include: Clark<br />
Bros Construction, Faye Homes, G J<br />
Gardner Homes, Golden Homes, Homes<br />
by Parklane, JAW Construction, Jennian<br />
Homes, Milestone Homes, Peter Ray<br />
Homes, R&B Builders, Signature Homes,<br />
Stonewood Homes, Trident Homes and<br />
Whitehouse Builders.<br />
You will find Faringdon’s latest<br />
showhome village in Lanner Drive<br />
(off Springston Rolleston Road) and<br />
Thornborough Drive. Most showhomes<br />
and the Faringdon sales office are open<br />
Saturdays and Sundays, from 12noon until<br />
4pm. Some of the showhomes are also<br />
open at certain times during the week,<br />
and there is the opportunity to view by<br />
appointment.<br />
