Ageless Jason finally gets his 300th<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 />

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 />

which means it will not be<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 />

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 />

I have a lifestyle block on<br />

Goulds Rd. There is hardly a day<br />

We want to hear your views<br />

on the issues affecting life<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 />

Letters may be edited or rejected at the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>'<br />

Please use your real name, not a nickname, alias, pen<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 />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN ​<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 />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><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 />

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 />

are also happy to provide on-site visits<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<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 />
