Average house value breaks<br />
through million dollar mark<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
AVERAGE HOUSE values in<br />
the district have climbed over<br />
$1 million, out-performing<br />
Christchurch and every other<br />
district in Canterbury.<br />
While the housing market has<br />
shifted down a gear nationwide,<br />
latest figures reported in the One<br />
Roof House Price Report – <strong>April</strong><br />
<strong>2022</strong> show <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s average<br />
property value grew 5.6 per cent<br />
($54,000) to $1.018 million in the<br />
first three months of the year.<br />
Authors of the report said<br />
while the Canterbury region’s<br />
housing market had “lost a lot of<br />
its energy,” <strong>Selwyn</strong> was “clearly<br />
benefiting from heightened newbuild<br />
activity.”<br />
House value index figures in<br />
the report show <strong>Selwyn</strong> is streets<br />
ahead of Christchurch, which<br />
has the second highest average<br />
value with $788,000, having<br />
risen just 2.6 per cent in the first<br />
quarter of the year.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> is also well ahead<br />
when it comes to the rate of<br />
growth during the quarter.<br />
Ashburton had the second<br />
highest rise, of 4.9 per cent, to<br />
a value of $601,000. The lowest<br />
was Mackenzie, 0.1 per cent, to<br />
$768,000.<br />

PROPERTY prices continue<br />
to climb upwards (see page<br />
1).<br />
The average house value in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> is now just over $1<br />
million, latest figures show.<br />
New builds appear to be<br />
driving the upward trend,<br />
and there is plenty of that going<br />
on across the district.<br />
Canterbury prices are still<br />
great value for money in<br />
comparison to other centres<br />
in New Zealand. And in<br />
terms of desirability, <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
has shot to the top of the list<br />
of where people want to live.<br />
As I have said before, this<br />
trend will continue well into<br />
the future as people in places<br />
like Auckland sell up and migrate<br />
south with left over cash<br />
in their pockets – and those<br />
from overseas who want a<br />
much safer place to live.<br />

VACCINE PASSES are no<br />
longer required to access district<br />
council facilities.<br />
The district council scrapped<br />
the pass requirement as of<br />
yesterday for all its facilities,<br />
including its Rolleston head<br />
offices, its libraries, sport<br />
and recreation facilities, and<br />
community<br />
centres.<br />
Chief<br />
executive David<br />
Ward said there<br />
was a “different<br />
Covid-19<br />
environment”<br />
now compared<br />
to when vaccine<br />
David Ward passes were<br />
introduced.<br />
The district council had<br />
taken this into account when<br />
making its decision to scrap<br />
the pass requirement, as well<br />
as Government’s softening of<br />
vaccine pass requirements.<br />
As of midnight on Monday,<br />
vaccine pass mandates were<br />
scrapped for hospitality and<br />
close-proximity businesses, but<br />
some could still use them if they<br />
chose to.<br />
“Following the Government’s<br />
announcement, the council<br />
conducted a review of its<br />
own health and safety risk<br />
assessment, with careful<br />
consideration given to the<br />
Government’s guidance and<br />
public health advice,” Ward<br />
said.<br />
“The council also considered<br />
its approach relative to other<br />
councils, as well as taking into<br />
account the current outbreak in<br />
Canterbury, including the high<br />
vaccination rates in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />
the immunity acquired from the<br />
outbreak.<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Council drops vaccine passes<br />
NO PASS NEEDED: You no longer need to be fully vaccinated to visit the district council<br />
offices or other council-run facilities.<br />
“Given the levels of<br />
community cases the region is<br />
still experiencing, most other<br />
health and safety measures<br />
will remain in place at council<br />
facilities to reduce the likelihood<br />
of infection to the users of our<br />
facilities and our staff.”<br />
Masks were still required,<br />
while some capacity limits may<br />
still apply indoors.<br />
The district council is also<br />
reviewing its staff vaccination<br />
policy and has opened<br />
consultation with all staff. The<br />
review is due to be completed by<br />
next Tuesday.<br />
New Covid cases in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
are reported each day on the<br />
district council’s Facebook page.<br />
On Monday, there were 1787<br />
active cases in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and 239<br />
new cases. There were 317 new<br />
cases in the district on Friday.<br />

One person<br />
trapped after<br />
car hits truck<br />
THREE PEOPLE were injured<br />
when a car crashed into the<br />
rear of a stationary truck last<br />
Wednesday night at Lincoln.<br />
It took about 40min for Fire and<br />
Emergency NZ crews to extricate<br />
a passenger trapped in the front<br />
seat of the car, which was stuck<br />
under the truck after the crash<br />
about 11pm<br />
on the corner<br />
of Gerald and<br />
James Sts.<br />
Fenz group<br />
manager<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, Dave<br />
Berry, said it<br />
was a “technical<br />
Dave Berry<br />
extrication” as<br />
fire crews had to work out how<br />
to access the vehicle to free the<br />
trapped passenger.<br />
The vehicle could not be pulled<br />
out, so they decided it would be<br />
best to slowly drive the truck<br />
forward.<br />
The truck driver had parked up<br />
for the night but was on the scene,<br />
so was able to move the vehicle.<br />
St John sent two rapid response<br />
vehicles, three ambulances and<br />
one manager to the scene.<br />
Three patients were transported<br />
to Christchurch Hospital, two in<br />
serious conditions and one in a<br />
moderate condition.<br />

regional<br />

Quayle, based<br />

Tony<br />
Quayle<br />
said <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
was “quite<br />
insulated” from<br />
drops in some areas, as seen in<br />
Auckland.<br />
This was due to demand<br />
remaining solid.<br />
Buyers from Auckland, Wellington,<br />
Tauranga, Nelson, and<br />
even the West Coast, were buying<br />
homes, finding a $1 million<br />
home in the district was much<br />
nicer than the equivalent in<br />
their home areas.<br />
Echoing comments in the<br />
OneRoof report, he said helping<br />
the high demand was the<br />
relatively high amount of new<br />
builds, as people could get a<br />
new home for a cheaper price.<br />
Buyers were also attracted<br />
by good employment opportunities<br />
in Canterbury, or in<br />
the pandemic they had found<br />
they could work from home<br />
successfully so could move<br />
further away.<br />
He said there was also demand<br />
from investors, as they<br />
could buy relatively modern<br />
homes in the district to have as<br />
rental properties.<br />
The news of the high average<br />
house value follows Real Estate<br />
Institute of New Zealand reporting<br />
last month that <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
had reached a new record<br />
high median house price of<br />
$890,000 in February.<br />

its figures for March after<br />

Synthetic Nitrogen Fertiliser Limit<br />
What farmers need to do<br />
To help protect and improve our waterways,<br />
a limit now applies to the amount of<br />
synthetic nitrogen fertiliser applied to<br />
pastoral land. This was introduced as part<br />
of the Essential Freshwater package.<br />
Carefully managed, fertiliser is a useful<br />
farming tool. However, it can contribute<br />
to nutrient loss into soil and waterways,<br />
impacting water quality and in-stream life.<br />
All farmers<br />
• The amount of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser<br />
you apply to pastoral land cannot exceed<br />
190 kilograms of nitrogen per hectare<br />
per year<br />
Dairy farmers<br />
• Report your synthetic nitrogen fertiliser<br />
use to Environment Canterbury annually<br />
• Submit your first report by 31 July <strong>2022</strong> -<br />
we’ll be in touch soon about how to do this<br />

THREE SPRINGSTON rugby<br />
players were trespassed by police<br />
from a hotel after they caused<br />
trouble with other patrons.<br />
The players from the colts<br />
grade team had been socialising<br />
with team mates at The Famous<br />
Grouse in Lincoln (right) after a<br />
pre-season match on the Saturday<br />
before last.<br />
Senior Sergeant Anna Lloyd<br />
said parties involved in the incident,<br />
were trespassed by police<br />
at the request of the hotel. The<br />
incident happened about 8.30pm.<br />
Rugby club president Warren<br />
Norton said the incident was dealt<br />
with by the club the following day.<br />
The players and other team members<br />
had been spoken to about the<br />
expectations of their behaviour<br />
while out socialising.<br />
There would be no further action<br />
“at this stage”, he said.<br />
“It’s a club matter and we have<br />
dealt with it as a club,” Norton<br />
said.<br />
He said there were other parties<br />
involved in the altercation besides<br />
the players. He was not there at<br />
the time, and did not want to go<br />
into any details of the incident<br />
itself.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> understands<br />
the altercation began when a<br />
Springston player picked up a<br />
patron’s drink at a nearby table<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
and started drinking it. The<br />
patron protested, but was then<br />
put in a headlock and, while being<br />
held, another player lined him up<br />
with a closed fist. A friend of the<br />
man being held in the headlock<br />
went to intervene and was himself<br />
punched.<br />
The patrons were much older<br />
than the rugby players. One was<br />
in his 50s and one in his 60s.<br />
The team members were in their<br />
players’ uniforms at the time.<br />
The Famous Grouse general<br />
manager Kurt Young said on<br />
Monday he planned to talk to the<br />
rugby club directly about any disciplinary<br />
action it might be taking<br />
against the three players.<br />
He did not wish to comment<br />
further.<br />
Lloyd said late last week no<br />
assault complaints had been laid<br />
and no arrests made.<br />

THE FORMER owners of Foster<br />
Park’s land are devastated to see<br />
their old family home vandalised<br />
and awaiting removal.<br />
They blame the district council,<br />
accusing its staff of not consulting<br />
publicly before U-turning<br />
on original plans to upgrade and<br />
keep the building for use as a<br />
community facility.<br />
The district council says keeping<br />
the building would be costly,<br />
and has avoided a question from<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> as to why it has<br />
not consulted publicly.<br />
Annette<br />
Foster and her<br />
late husband<br />
David sold<br />
32ha, including<br />
the 40-year-old<br />
architecturally<br />
designed<br />
homestead,<br />
to the district<br />
council for<br />
Foster Park in 2010.<br />
Foster Park has since become<br />
a central sports ground facility<br />
servicing the growing Rolleston<br />
area. The homestead sits<br />
amongst it, surrounded by public<br />
gardens.<br />
Annette and her daughter<br />
Tania Croucher are now devastated<br />
to see the building in a<br />
vandalised state, after they were<br />
shocked to learn the district<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Former owners ‘gutted’ to see vandalised<br />
Tania<br />
Croucher<br />
council plans to remove it.<br />
They believe the district<br />
council has not done enough<br />
to prevent the vandalism, and<br />
previously understood the homestead<br />
could become a future facility<br />
for community use, an idea<br />
which aligned with the district<br />
council’s plans in earlier years.<br />
In the district council’s Foster<br />
Park Master Plan 2014, finalised<br />
after public consultation, the<br />
UNCERTAIN: The<br />
future of Fosters<br />
Homestead is<br />
unknown as the<br />
house’s original<br />
owners question<br />
the district<br />
council’s plans to<br />
remove it.<br />
Below: The<br />
homestead as it<br />
once stood, it was<br />
built by Annette<br />
and David Foster<br />
about 40 years<br />
ago.<br />
homestead is described as “an<br />
asset to the park.”<br />
“The homestead could be used<br />
in the future as a cafe or small<br />
function venue, and the outdoor<br />
areas have excellent potential as<br />
picnic zones and informal play<br />
areas for children,” the plan says.<br />
Annette had remained a stakeholder<br />
in the development of<br />
Foster Park, as part of a district<br />
council steering committee, following<br />
the sale of the land.<br />
It was in December last year<br />
that she learned of the district<br />
council’s new plans to remove<br />
the building, which had been<br />
rented by sports groups until<br />
earlier in the year. In an email,<br />
seen by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>,<br />
council group property manager<br />
Douglas Marshall told Annette<br />
the district council had no long<br />
term need for the dwelling and it<br />
would be removed in February.<br />
“You will probably know that<br />
suggestions of cafes or meeting<br />
rooms has been proposed, but we<br />
are very much of the view that<br />
cafes would be far better used<br />
if included within the aquatic<br />
centre or indoor courts in the<br />
future. Similarly, we have added<br />
meeting spaces to both buildings<br />
in the most recent upgrade,”<br />
Marshall said.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre,<br />
opened in 2013, and the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Sports Centre with indoor<br />
courts, opened last year, are in<br />
the Foster Park area.<br />
“To have it literally ripped<br />
away, that’s really quite gutting,”<br />
Annette said of the district<br />
council’s plans to remove the<br />
building.<br />

state of Foster Park house<br />
Croucher, who grew up in<br />
the homestead, said she and her<br />
mother wanted the district council<br />
to consult with the community,<br />
to see if there was a potential use<br />
for the building.<br />
“The issue we have is the decision<br />
to remove it is being made<br />
without any consultation with the<br />
public,” Croucher said.<br />
The family had engaged a lawyer<br />
to question the district council<br />
on its decision, staving off the<br />
home’s removal.<br />

in a statement that the district<br />
council would formally consider<br />
the future of the homestead, at its<br />
<strong>April</strong> 27 meeting, following the<br />
Foster family asking the district<br />
council to weigh up the best outcome<br />
for the community.<br />
He did not answer a question<br />
posed by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> on<br />
why the community had not been<br />
consulted to date.<br />
He said the district council had<br />
explored options to develop the<br />
homestead.<br />
“Its location in the park means<br />
extensive development would be<br />
required to make it usable as a<br />
community space. This would include<br />
adding car parking, roading<br />
connections and pathway access.<br />
All this would come at a cost to<br />
•HAVE YOUR SAY: Does<br />
the 40-year-old Fosters<br />
Homestead at Foster Park<br />
have potential to become<br />
a community facility? Or<br />
should the district council<br />
get rid of it? Email susan.<br />

ratepayers.”<br />
The district council had<br />
contacted police regarding the<br />
vandalism, and would continue<br />
to make efforts to prevent further<br />
damage. Fencing around the<br />
home had been installed in response<br />
to vandalism.<br />
“But these vandals have broken<br />
it open to access the house,” Marshall<br />
said.<br />

EXTRA HOURS FOR TOY<br />
LIBRARY<br />
Membership at a toy library in<br />

introduction of an additional<br />
session. Darfield Plunket and Toy<br />

It opens 9-11am fortnightly on<br />
Saturdays, but after this had<br />
become “quite busy,” a new<br />
session of Tuesday 7.30-8.30pm<br />
had been introduced in term 1.<br />
The library had about 700 toys<br />

Recruitment<br />
drive to bolster<br />
brigade numbers<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
VOLUNTEER FIRE brigades in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> are on a recruitment drive<br />
as they aim to bolster numbers.<br />
It comes as brigades have split<br />
into duty crews to get through the<br />
Omicron wave.<br />
Fire and Emergency New<br />
Zealand group manager <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />
Dave Berry, said last week only<br />
a small number of the about 220<br />
firefighters in the district had<br />
been infected with Covid-19,<br />
most likely helped by a system<br />
of having split into duty crews.<br />
There were 14 firefighters currently<br />
isolating with the virus.<br />
“We have been very lucky, I<br />
think it’s because we went into<br />
early planning with bubbles,”<br />
Berry said.<br />
In terms of firefighter numbers,<br />
Berry said while brigades in<br />
higher population areas such as<br />
Lincoln and Rolleston had waiting<br />
lists, some in smaller townships<br />
had more ongoing pressure<br />
as people moved in and out.<br />
The Southbridge and Leeston<br />
volunteer brigades are among<br />
those seeking new members.<br />
Southbridge chief Shane King<br />
said the brigade had 14 male<br />
members and one female. It<br />
ideally wanted another three or<br />
four.<br />
“We are just trying to futureproof<br />
our brigade,” King said.<br />
The brigade was looking for<br />
people keen to serve the community,<br />
who lived in or near the<br />
township.<br />
Leeston Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />
has put a post on its Facebook<br />
page, asking people who are<br />
team players and eager to learn<br />
to direct message the brigade via<br />
the page.<br />

RETIRING Lincoln Volunteer<br />
Fire Brigade deputy chief Roger<br />
McLenaghen had a Covid-style<br />
send-off last week, after 43 years<br />
of service.<br />
The brigade has split into three<br />
duty crews in the latest Omicron<br />
outbreak to minimise the possibility<br />
of everyone becoming<br />
sick at once.<br />
But as determined as<br />
firefighters are to stay safe so<br />
they can respond to fire calls,<br />
they were just as determined to<br />
give their deputy chief a suitable<br />
send off.<br />
On Thursday night they gathered<br />
at the Lincoln Fire Station,<br />
while remaining isloated in their<br />
duty crew teams. McLenaghen’s<br />
team was in the fire station with<br />
him, with another team at the<br />
opposite end of the fire station,<br />
and the third outside the fire<br />
station.<br />
It was in this setting that<br />
McLenaghen was awarded his<br />
hat to keep, while incoming<br />
deputy chief Richie Bee was<br />
given a new hat. The honours<br />
were undertaken by Fire and<br />
Emergency New Zealand group<br />
manager <strong>Selwyn</strong>, Dave Berry.<br />
McLenaghen said it had been a<br />
nice surprise to be given his hat<br />
to keep, as he had been expecting<br />
to be awarding it to Bee.<br />
“It’s nice to think you can keep<br />
that as a memento,” he said.<br />
The farewell followed<br />

LIFE EXPERIENCE: Retiring Lincoln Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy chief Roger<br />
McLenaghen has taken the good with the bad throughout his 43 years service.<br />

McLenaghen’s last fire call out,<br />
which had been only hours<br />
earlier. As the deputy chief had<br />
been dropping food and drinks<br />
to the station for the upcoming<br />
evening, the siren sounded about<br />
5pm.<br />
The call was to a minor<br />
kitchen fire, which McLenaghen<br />
and fellow firefighters quickly<br />
extinguished before using a large<br />
fan to extract smoke.<br />
McLenaghen said one of the<br />
highlights of belonging to the<br />
brigade had been the many “lifetime<br />
friends” he had made.<br />
The 65-year-old Lincoln<br />
University soil science tutor, who<br />
grew up at Killinchy near Leeston,<br />
said the brigade had also<br />
given him life experiences.<br />
“I have been fortunate to<br />
be part of the fire brigade, it’s<br />
quite an experience. You get<br />
to do lots of things you would<br />
never get to do in a normal walk<br />
of life, some good, some not so<br />
good, but you take the good with<br />
the bad.”<br />
The hardest times had been<br />
seeing young people and people<br />
he knew killed in car crashes.<br />
The best had been rescuing<br />
those dangerous situations, even<br />
animals such as cats up trees and<br />
ducklings down drains.<br />
“If someone dials 111, we<br />
respond.”<br />
A memorable callout of recent<br />
years had been rescuing four<br />
German freedom campers in<br />
2018, from the top of their vehicle<br />
which had been swept into<br />
a flooded <strong>Selwyn</strong> River at Coes<br />
Ford.<br />
The call summed up how<br />
rewarding it had been to belong<br />
to the brigade, as he and his<br />
family opened their home to the<br />
women and made sure they had<br />
everything they needed.<br />
The brigade is planning a more<br />
formal retirement function for<br />
McLenaghen, one befitting his<br />
long and dedicated service, once<br />
the worst of the pandemic is<br />
over.<br />

MIRIAM Dobson of Rolleston<br />
and her golden retriever Jaunty<br />
are basking in the glow of<br />
victory after being awarded the<br />
New Zealand Rally-O Grand<br />
Champion.<br />
Miriam, at the age of 84, is<br />
believed to be the oldest person<br />
in the country to have attained<br />
grand champion status in the<br />
discipline.<br />
Rally-O is a mix between<br />
agility and obedience which test<br />
dogs’ and handlers’ capabilities<br />
to perform a series of different<br />
exercises.<br />
Part of the contest includes<br />
combinations of turns, presents,<br />
finishes, changes of position,<br />
heeling around cones, halts,<br />
stays and jumps.<br />
Miriam said Jaunty’s good<br />
temperament had helped him<br />
put in his winning performance,<br />
as the pair ticked off the last of<br />
the required 50 double qualifying<br />
rounds, while at the Rally-O<br />
championship trial hosted by<br />
Mid Canterbury Dog Training<br />
Club last week.<br />
“It is not necessarily the most<br />
intelligent who win, it’s the dog<br />
that has the will to please, and a<br />
lot of people don’t realise that,”<br />
Miriam said.<br />
Miriam had herself had a part<br />
to play in Jaunty’s enthusiastic<br />
nature, having bred golden<br />
retrievers in the past. Jaunty was<br />
descended directly from a bitch<br />
she first bred from in 1969.<br />
“Temperament is the most important<br />
thing, and I have always<br />
bred for that,” Miriam said.<br />
“Jaunty is a useless guard<br />
dog, but you can trust him with<br />
anyone. He loves everybody,<br />
everybody is his friend.”<br />
Miriam has been a member<br />
of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Dog Training<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Club for about 10 years. She<br />
was a foundation member of<br />
the Southern Golden Retriever<br />
Club, and taught and competed<br />
in obedience for many years.<br />
“What keeps me going in<br />
this sport is the attitude of the<br />
people, fellow competitors, the<br />
encouragement, the camaraderie,<br />
they are just a wonderful<br />
bunch of people.”<br />
Dogs New Zealand director<br />
secretary Steven Thompson<br />
said the organisation did not<br />
keep age statistics of members,<br />
but believed Miriam was the<br />
oldest ever to achieve the<br />
Rally-O title.<br />

Is this really democracy?<br />
I was genuinely heartened as<br />
a ratepayer to read that 50 per<br />
cent of district councillors have<br />
openly declared their concerns<br />
about the Three Waters process<br />
(<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, March 30). Those<br />
district councillors need to be<br />
applauded. As elected members,<br />
they are reflecting concerns of<br />
their constituencies associated<br />
with these ill-informed, divisive<br />
and politically motivated<br />
reforms.<br />
The motion to join Communities<br />
4 Local Democracy, consisting<br />
of 32 out of 67 councils, was<br />
defeated by the mayor’s casting<br />
vote. That is a democratic process<br />
and no argument from me about<br />
that.<br />
However, there is some irony,<br />
in that the mayor has used the<br />
democratic process to defeat an<br />
opportunity to join a group with<br />
some real voice when dealing<br />
with central government, in<br />
turn, undemocratic approach to<br />
reforms.<br />
While district councillors<br />
rightly feel that they should not<br />
be fighting with the Government,<br />
a high percentage feel<br />
they need to do so to be heard. If<br />
not, who then do we,as ratepayers,<br />
turn to for our voices to be<br />
heard given that district council<br />
submissions to date have been<br />
largely ignored by the minister<br />
and officials; and given that<br />
credible representation via the<br />
conflicted and toothless Local<br />
Government New Zealand organisation<br />
is no longer an option.<br />
– Ian Lees, Darfield<br />
We believe <strong>Selwyn</strong> should<br />
definitely join the action group<br />
opposing Three Waters. This is<br />
legalising theft of our local assets.<br />
What is more, it is endorsing<br />
removing a democratic process.<br />
This coming election will be the<br />
first ever local body election (I<br />
am ashamed to say) that I will be<br />
voting in.<br />
Sam Broughton, should he be<br />
standing, will definitely not be<br />
on our list of choices, among<br />
others. The council should also<br />
oppose any mandate to chlorinate<br />
our water except where<br />
issues are occurring. – Anne and<br />
Gabe Bouterey, Prebbleton<br />
I think the council should join<br />
Communities 4 Local Democracy,<br />
and I think that our mayor<br />
should get the boot at the next<br />
local elections.<br />
We can’t have 15 per cent of<br />
the population making decisions,<br />
purportedly on our behalf,<br />
there is no democracy there. –<br />
William Nelson, West Melton<br />
Yes, the district council should<br />
join the Three Waters action<br />
group Communities 4 Local<br />
Democracy. – Tom Ferguson<br />

MORE THAN 60 Lincoln<br />
University staff and<br />
student volunteers are<br />
delivering breakfast, lunch<br />
and dinner to the doors of<br />
isolating students in halls<br />
and independent flats.<br />
Students are continuing<br />
to come down with Covid-19<br />
in the latest Omicron<br />
wave, following the university<br />
last week reporting it<br />
had recorded 361 Covid-19<br />
cases in staff and students<br />
from late February to mid-<br />
March.<br />
The university’s acting<br />
director of customer<br />
engagement and experience<br />
Jaime Shone said the<br />
volunteers were delivering<br />
an average of 120 meals per<br />
day. They were also creating<br />
and delivering care packs<br />
for students and checking<br />
on the students’ welfare.<br />
“Our workers are busy,<br />
but they’re loving being a<br />
part of the volunteer effort<br />
and helping people get<br />
through some very tough<br />
times,” Shone said.<br />
Vice-Chancellor Professor<br />
Grant Edwards said<br />
their efforts have been<br />
“inspirational and extraordinary”<br />
as the university<br />
faced the challenge of the<br />
Covid-19 pandemic, which<br />
was unprecedented in<br />
recent times.<br />
“We have a process in<br />
place to identify each new<br />
case, and our response<br />
mechanism, crewed<br />

World Travellers Rolleston<br />
Surviving the<br />
COVID storm<br />
As restrictions lift and the COVID<br />
storm begins to come to an end, you<br />
can detect an audible sigh of relief<br />
around the world. We can travel once<br />
again, families can reunite, we have our<br />
freedom again.<br />
For us here at World Travellers, the<br />
struggle has been all too real. No one<br />
saw it coming;<br />
how could the tap<br />
on travel be so<br />
abruptly turned<br />
off? There was no<br />
time for shock or<br />
worry. We had a job<br />
to do. Customers<br />
all over the world<br />
were panicking<br />
and desperate to<br />
return home. It<br />
was a scramble to<br />
reschedule fights<br />
and negotiate boarder restrictions of a<br />
kind never experienced before.<br />
Despite the odds stacked against<br />
us, where some shut up shop, we kept<br />
our doors open. We have ridden out<br />
the storm and grown as travel experts<br />
because of it. Back then our customers<br />
knew us as Helloworld Rolleston. As the<br />
dust settled and we moved into the new<br />
normal, we quickly realized that the<br />
Helloworld brand would not allow us to<br />
serve our customers as they deserved.<br />
Now you will know us as World<br />
Travellers Rolleston and we are excited<br />
to be moving to our new office very<br />
soon at 80 Rolleston Drive. The decision<br />
to rebrand has been about giving our<br />
customers more choice and allowing us<br />
the freedom to better serve their needs<br />
post COVID. We put our<br />
customers first, dedicated<br />
to bringing them the best<br />
service possible.<br />
We are still here and<br />
not going away anytime<br />
soon. The future is bright,<br />
changes are happening,<br />
and the world is yours<br />
once again.<br />

Youth MP for the electorate hosted a meeting, with <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Nicola<br />
Grigg, head students from her school and Rolleston College, Darfield<br />

including a lack of mental health funding, climate change and the<br />
degradation of natural resources, equality of race and gender, and<br />
lack of local public transport. They also discussed establishing local<br />
anti-bullying and anti-vaping initiatives.

Twenty Lincoln High School students<br />
challenged themselves as they trekked,<br />
rafted and biked from the West Coast<br />
back to their school. Teacher Kerri<br />
Loughhead was also on the trip, initiated<br />
by the non-profit Building Awesome<br />
Young Men project.<br />
She said it began with “a massive<br />
day of river crossings and boulder<br />
hopping” as they navigated their way<br />
through Deception Valley. Day two they<br />
descended from 1076m via the Mingah<br />
River, then crossing State Highway 73 to<br />
Greyneys Shelter.<br />
THey had tired bodies and heavy<br />
packs, but were enlivened by the<br />
experience.<br />
“Eating snowberries, diving into<br />
turquoise blue water and even spotting<br />
the native whio.”<br />
Rafting 59km down the Waimakariri<br />
River followed, then the journey ended<br />
with a 10km bike ride.<br />
“It was a massive but incredibly<br />
memorable journey for our young men<br />
to have accomplished. We couldn’t have<br />
asked for a better group to have taken on<br />
this adventure,” Loughhead said.<br />

THERE’S A new butterfly<br />
in town, but this one is a<br />
deliberate introduction<br />
for biological control of a<br />
significant weed species.<br />
I spotted the honshu<br />
white admiral (Limenitis<br />
glorifica) fluttering around<br />
our honeysuckle plant<br />
where it eventually landed.<br />
This butterfly was introduced<br />
to New Zealand<br />
for controlling japanese<br />
honeysuckle vine (Lonicera<br />
japonica), a serious<br />
environmental weed that<br />
can invade forest margins,<br />
shrublands, coastal areas,<br />
river systems, and wetland<br />
margins. It is more of a<br />
threat in warmer northern<br />
regions but is taking<br />
hold in areas around<br />
Canterbury, such as Banks<br />
Peninsula, as temperatures<br />
increase.<br />
The more commonly<br />
grown box or wilson’s honeysuckle<br />
(Lonicera nitida)<br />
is not attacked by the<br />
honshu white admiral.<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology<br />
(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces<br />
a new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His<br />
column aims to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the<br />
variety of living things around us. Check out the full list<br />
of invertebrates found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/<br />
backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section<br />
Butterfly a new arrival<br />
The butterfly is endemic<br />
to the Japanese island of<br />
Honshu and after extensive<br />
testing, was first released<br />
in Waikato in 2014.<br />
Male and female butterflies<br />
are similar looking,<br />
with black with white<br />
markings and a wingspan<br />
of 60mm. However, the<br />
underside of the wings are<br />
an orange-brown colour<br />
with white spots.<br />
The female lays a single<br />
yellow egg on honeysuckle<br />
leaf, but can lay between<br />
150 and 200 over its onemonth<br />
life. Larvae hatch<br />
from eggs after a week and<br />
assume a brown colour.<br />
As caterpillars grow, they<br />
change to a green colouration<br />
and develop 12 or so<br />
spikey brown protrusions<br />
on their bodies. Caterpillars<br />
will consume leaves<br />
and in large numbers can<br />
defoliate plants.<br />
It is early days yet, but it<br />
is hoped that this biocontrol<br />
species will significantly<br />
reduce honeysuckle<br />
here in New Zealand, as<br />
it does in Japan. The only<br />
other species here it has<br />
been successfully reared on<br />
is another significant weed<br />
species, the himalayan<br />
honeysuckle (Leycesteria<br />
formosa).<br />
Manaaki Whenua Landcare<br />
Research has been<br />
rearing these biocontrol<br />
beauties in captivity and<br />
found that the butterflies<br />
have a liking to the orange<br />
e2 energy drink.<br />
Keep an eye out for<br />
these butterflies and<br />
record their location on<br />
iNaturalist.

The ground is being laid for growing opportunities for year round sport in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
The shock pads and artificial grass turf has begun to be laid for two new artificial pitches at Foster<br />
Park. The pitches, which will primarily be used for hockey and football, are nearing completion, ready<br />
to open in May for the winter sports season.<br />
The turfs will provide latest generation all weather surfaces that will give more options for sports to be<br />
played and grow in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, Council Acting Major Projects Manager Phil Millar says.<br />
“We are incredibly excited to soon have these two new facilities available to the <strong>Selwyn</strong> community<br />
– both are of a high quality – suitable to host a range of events and Tournaments from junior sport<br />
through to international matches, and both are built to stricter environmental requirements.”<br />
Waikirikiri Hockey Club and <strong>Selwyn</strong> United Football Club will be the primary users of the pitches,<br />
along with their regional bodies, which have primary responsibility for planning and administering their<br />
winter competitions.<br />
The additional hockey pitch will allow Waikirikiri Hockey Club to play at home, offer more teams and<br />
run further programmes.<br />
The football turf will help address a shortage of pitch space for <strong>Selwyn</strong> United FC – one of the South<br />
Island’s largest football clubs – providing the equivalent playing and training time of five grass pitches<br />
and with markings for all age groups and grades to use.<br />
While hockey and football will mainly use the fields during evenings and Saturdays during the peak<br />
winter season, the turfs will be available for hire to general users – providing opportunities to wider<br />
sports and community groups. Priority will be given to local schools, sports trusts and other potential<br />
clubs and users, Mr Millar says.<br />
“The high quality, hard-wearing nature of the surfaces, provides our whole community with<br />
the opportunity to experience the benefits of using an artificial surface. If people adhere to the<br />
maintenance and use requirements, these surfaces can be used for a range of less formal games and<br />
activities when the weather doesn’t allow for the use of grass surfaces, or where the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sports<br />
Centre may not meet their needs.”<br />

looking for employment.<br />

Covid forcing 10 events to be cancelled. The Council<br />
is planning to hold some of these events – including<br />
the sold out four part Hiwa Wahine series of inspiring<br />
women sharing their career journey.<br />
A range of online seminars, workshops, information<br />
sessions and employment opportunities were on offer, covering session from starting a business to<br />
supporting new migrants and those employing new migrants, business growth and marketing.<br />
The Council teamed up with employment and business agencies and groups ranging from IRD to Citizens<br />
Advice Bureau, the Canterbury Employers Chamber of Commerce, Xero accounting and local businesses.<br />
Learn Earn Grow <strong>Selwyn</strong> was the latest in a series of events the Council has been running, working with<br />
businesses, employees and those looking for work, Council Group Manager Community Services and<br />
Facilities Denise Kidd say.<br />
“This was the culmination of a long-process talking with the community about how we as Council can best<br />
support <strong>Selwyn</strong> business and we’re delighted with how things. It was a challenging time to be running<br />
events and our staff and partners put a huge amount of work in to making it happen. We’ll be looking at<br />
how it went, what went well and what we can improve and looking to build on this for the future.”<br />

Alternative views of <strong>Selwyn</strong> by local artists<br />
There are views of the district we are familiar with: the birds eye view of gridded plains, sunsets<br />

people of this community and how do they choose to portray this place?<br />
For this exhibition, we’re calling for submissions from local artists to respond to this theme,<br />
presenting the views they deem as important, providing a window into life in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

Photography a step<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
EVEN though he loves<br />
online car racing video<br />
games, 14-year-old<br />
Rolleston College<br />
student Nathan Heney has<br />
more fun photographing<br />
the real thing.<br />
It all began when he got<br />
his first camera at age 10,<br />
and started snapping photos<br />
of what was happening<br />
around him.<br />
A couple of years later<br />
he was able to buy his first<br />
proper Canon DSLR<br />
camera, but found he<br />
wasn’t that keen on just<br />
photographing trees and<br />
buildings.<br />
“I didn’t find that very<br />
interesting at all, because<br />
basically I wasn’t very good<br />
at it, but I had always loved<br />
cars, so I decided to take<br />
up car photography and<br />
try that out,” he said.<br />
Nathan went along with<br />
his family to a few cars<br />
shows and events, and<br />
soon developed a passion<br />
for car photography.<br />
From those initial<br />
beginnings, this self-taught<br />
photographer quickly<br />
developed his style of car<br />
photograph. He learned<br />
from his mistakes and<br />
THROUGH THE LENS: One of Nathan Heney’s<br />
favourite cars is a BMW M3 (top). He has also<br />
photographed a Ferrari.<br />
built up a strong following<br />
for his craft online.<br />
“The first people I ever<br />
asked to photograph their<br />
cars were a very nice car<br />
dealership, they liked the<br />
photos and put them up on<br />
their Instagram account,”<br />
Nathan said.<br />
“I was pretty happy with<br />
that as it was a big deal for<br />
me because I was just 12<br />
years old. But I wanted to<br />
do more individual car and<br />
motorsport photography,”<br />
he said.<br />
He started shooting at<br />
Ruapuna every weekend<br />
during the motor racing<br />
season.<br />
‘Famous for their roasts!’<br />

“I took lots of photos and built<br />
up a good following on my Instagram<br />
account,” he said.<br />
“I found a supercar group<br />
here in Christchurch and posted<br />
on their Facebook site asking<br />
if anyone would like their car<br />
photographed.<br />
“A few people messaged me<br />
back and I went on my first photoshoot<br />
with them, taking photos<br />
of a BMW M3, my favourite car.<br />
“I was so surprised how well<br />
the photos came out,” he said.<br />
“Then the owners’ friend contacted<br />
me and asked me to shoot<br />
his Lamborghini.”<br />
Whenever he gets stuck, he<br />
seeks fatherly advice from father<br />
David Heney, or contacts car<br />
and motorsport photographers<br />
online.<br />
“When I get to shoot a Lamborghini,<br />
I go to pages online to<br />
see what the car looks good in,<br />
and what locations suit it, then I<br />
might message other Kiwi-based<br />
car photographers for advice such<br />
as Brad Longworth of Auckland<br />
and Jack Morgan – Shots by Jack,<br />
of Christchurch. They’re all very<br />
helpful,” he said.<br />
He said his friends think it’s<br />
cool that he gets to shoot exotic<br />
cars.<br />
At school on Mondays, they<br />
gather around to see all the<br />
new photos he has shot over the<br />
weekend.<br />
PASSION: Fourteen-year-old Rolleston College student<br />
Nathan Heney enjoys photographing cars.<br />
PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE <br />
“People come up and say my<br />
photos are good.”<br />
His best shoot was the Lamborghini<br />
Huracan.<br />
“I went into the Port Hills, and<br />
took it to different twisty road<br />
sections, it was a very wet day<br />
which made the car look so much<br />
better.”<br />
On the attraction between cars<br />
and photography, Nathan said<br />
he loves being able to take photos<br />
and capture incredible cars, especially<br />
in motorsport.<br />
“I am constantly looking<br />
around for people photos in pit<br />
lane, and the cars on the track,”<br />
he said.<br />
“My favourite cars are a nicely<br />
built BMW M3, a Nissan Sylvia<br />
S15 and a Lamborghini Aventador<br />
SVJ.<br />
Being only 14 years old and<br />
unable to drive, Nathan said his<br />
family help drive him to locations<br />
for his car shoots.<br />
“Sometimes they get up early<br />
to get me to the places so I can<br />
shoot at sunrise, then they leave<br />
me with the drivers, and we go<br />
off and shoot the cars.<br />
“The drivers then drop me back<br />
home later in the day.”<br />
He said he can’t wait to<br />
get his licence and plans to<br />
pursue a career in both car<br />
and motorsport photography<br />
and would love to be able to<br />
photograph a formula one car<br />
racing.<br />

Life after rugby: Kieran Read on dad-life<br />
• By Kris Shannon<br />
IN THE year since he retired<br />
from rugby, Kieran Read has not<br />
lifted a weight or entered a gym.<br />
Rather than grappling for a<br />
loose ball in a ruck, he wrestles<br />
with his three kids on the trampoline,<br />
and instead of a week<br />
peaking on the field, his happy<br />
place is mowing the lawn.<br />
If it sounds like Read is living<br />
post-rugby life as a typical Kiwi<br />
dad, there’s a reason for that.<br />
The 36-year-old will tell you<br />
that’s who he has long been – just<br />
one who won two World Cups<br />
then captained the All Blacks 52<br />
times.<br />
But with those feats disappearing<br />
further in the rear-view<br />
mirror, triumphs of which every<br />
other Kiwi dad can only dream,<br />
Read’s new routine is much more<br />
familiar.<br />
“It’s based around my family,”<br />
he says on the Between Two<br />
Beers podcast, midway through<br />
an ordinary Wednesday. “I got<br />
the kids ready for school and<br />
went for a run and then just did a<br />
little bit of work.<br />
“I took my wife out for lunch,<br />
and then the kids get home from<br />
school and you’re basically wrestling<br />
on the tramp and running<br />
around outside.”<br />
Running, after kids or otherwise,<br />
is one activity Read has<br />
continued since playing his final<br />
game for Japanese side Toyota<br />
Verblitz last May.<br />
While he held antipathy towards<br />
both fitness and gym work<br />
during a 16-year professional<br />
career, Read still needed to funnel<br />
his athletic urges somewhere<br />
other than the backyard.<br />
“I have not set foot in a gym,<br />
I have not picked up a weight or<br />
a dumbbell or anything since I<br />
retired,” Read says. “You had to<br />
do it for so long – for your career<br />
and your body and to perform<br />
like you had to, you had to work<br />
hard in the gym.<br />
“And it was okay, but I didn’t<br />
enjoy it as much as some of the<br />
other parts of what you’re doing<br />
as a rugby player. So I kind of<br />
stopped.<br />
“I never thought I’d go running<br />
because I hated running,<br />
too. But I started running as<br />
being my buzz and to keep fit<br />
and more to just clear the mind,<br />
really.”<br />
FAMILY TIME: Kieran Read with his children at Tokyo Stadium after his final test for the All<br />
Blacks in the bronze medal play-off game with Wales at the 2019 World Cup. Earlier that<br />
year it was a fond farewell to Christchurch after he led the Crusaders to a Super Rugby<br />
title victory over the Jaguares.<br />
Nothing will clear the mind,<br />
Read found late last year, like<br />
hitting the wall halfway through<br />
a 55km run.<br />
The formidable loose forward<br />
has shed almost 15kg from his<br />
playing weight of 110kg, putting<br />
him in the right shape to face<br />
some demons while running the<br />
iconic Old Ghost Rd track.<br />
“I definitely didn’t run the<br />
whole way. There were some dark<br />
patches,” Read says. “I’d run 20k<br />
before it – that was the furthest<br />
I’d run in one attempt. Then you<br />
turn up for this Old Ghost Rd and<br />
it’s pretty hilly and pretty tough<br />
and, man, she’s a tough gig.<br />
“Thirty K in, I was feeling all<br />
right, then suddenly hit the wall<br />
and went through about 10k of<br />
demons. It was tough but, after<br />
about seven or eight hours, I got<br />
to the end and it was fulfilling to<br />
get done. It scratched an itch.”<br />
The next chance to satiate<br />
those urges will be a 12-hour<br />
running-and-biking event in<br />
Kaikōura. But while he enjoys<br />
the adventure races and idyllic<br />
family life and blessedly painfree<br />
mornings, Read is well<br />
aware how different post-rugby<br />
life can be.<br />
When Carl Hayman played the<br />
last of his 46 tests in 2007, Read<br />
was a year away from starting his<br />
ALL BLACK: Kieran Read watches on from the sideline at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium after injury ruled him out of<br />
playing England in 2014. He started his 127-test career against Scotland at Murrayfield in 2008 with fellow new caps<br />
Liam Messam (left) and Jamie Mackintosh.<br />
128-test tenure, the third-most<br />
appearances in All Blacks history.<br />
The pair’s retirements have<br />
been divergent, too, and Read<br />
was as saddened as any rugby<br />
fan when Hayman late last year<br />
revealed his struggles with earlyonset<br />
dementia.<br />
The number of contact-sport<br />
athletes who can empathise with<br />
Hayman is alarmingly high,<br />
an uncomfortable reality only<br />
becoming clearer as awareness<br />
grows about the long-term effects<br />
of head knocks.<br />
And Read, who suffered a prolonged<br />
battle with concussions in<br />
2014, shortly after being named<br />
the best player in the world, is<br />
among them.<br />
“You see the studies that are<br />
coming out and see Carl Hayman<br />
in the media and it’s hard<br />
not to get a little bit worried<br />
about those things, knowing that<br />
you’ve been through this.”<br />
Read’s own story has a happier<br />
ending, even if eight years on<br />
recalling that period engenders<br />
the opposite feeling.<br />
The afternoon entertainment<br />
of the trampoline was then a<br />
source of pain, headaches the result<br />
of watching his kids bounce<br />
up and down. Scanning the road<br />
while driving a short distance<br />
was the same.<br />
Before the problem was pinpointed<br />
as a balance issue, Read<br />
couldn’t help but be troubled by<br />
what all those hits might have<br />
done to his health.<br />
“It was one of the toughest<br />
times of my career – more leading<br />
up to when I figured out that<br />
it wasn’t my brain,” Read says.<br />
“I went and did these tests and I<br />
couldn’t even stand on one foot, I<br />
was so out of whack.<br />
“It was scary and you question<br />
a lot in that time – I know a lot<br />
of guys who have had serious<br />
concussions. For two months I<br />
was essentially feeling like shit<br />
because you do these tests and<br />
all these exercises and it makes<br />
you worse. It makes your f*****g<br />
head ache.<br />
“I was still playing – I probably<br />
shouldn’t have, looking back –<br />
because I was like, it’s not my<br />
brain, I can do it. I’d be in training<br />
and pop my head out of a<br />
maul and not know where I was.”<br />
With the assistance of doctors,<br />
psychiatric counselling and<br />
vestibular rehabilitation therapy,<br />
the issue eventually was resolved.<br />
One morning, Read woke up and<br />
felt normal again.<br />
But he naturally has some<br />
concerns about what the future<br />
may hold, heartened by the fact<br />
he’s not alone and keen to extend<br />
that comfort to others, no matter<br />
how upsetting the topic can be.<br />
“I was very wary after that,<br />
but I was pretty lucky that I<br />
didn’t have too many major head<br />
knocks,” Read says. “I’ve done<br />
everything I could – I never went<br />
back after a concussion straight<br />
away, and I did all the protocols<br />
and was well looked after.<br />
“The thing is, when you talk<br />
about it, it puts you back into<br />
that moment, that pretty dark<br />
space, because you are touching<br />
on that whole anxious time and<br />
living a life that’s pretty tough<br />
to live.<br />
“So that’s the hardest bit,<br />
when you’re transported back to<br />
those feelings. But I’m happy to<br />
talk about it and just make sure<br />
people do the right thing, which<br />
is listening to the experts and<br />
taking the time.”<br />
Any teammate who has played<br />
under Read will recognise his approach<br />
to what can seem a taboo<br />
subject in modern rugby.<br />
Of course he’s happy to talk<br />
about it; Read built his captaincy<br />
on connecting with his charges,<br />
building relationships, and talking<br />
about anything and everything<br />
that would make the team<br />
marginally better.<br />
That chat started at a young<br />
age, but not on the rugby field.<br />
“I captained cricket teams<br />
when I was growing up but I<br />
never had confidence in a rugby<br />
environment,” he recalls. “I was<br />
always listening and learning<br />
and picking up stuff in the different<br />
teams I was involved in,<br />
but I was never one to voice any<br />
opinions or speak up.

and head knocks<br />
“But you realise you pick up what it<br />
takes to have a relationship and understanding<br />
different cultures and what it<br />
means for these guys.”<br />
That was particularly true when Read<br />
- who until 18 considered himself a<br />
stronger cricket prospect - played rugby<br />
for Counties Manukau at age-group level.<br />
Having grown up in “a special part of<br />
the world”, Read progressed from Papakura’s<br />
Rosehill College to the provincial<br />
team, where his experiences as one of<br />
the few Pākehā kids shaped the man he<br />
would become.<br />
“It’s a little bit tough for this white guy<br />
to turn up and try to play<br />
with them, especially<br />
when they start speaking<br />
Tongan or Fijian on the<br />
field,” Read says. “I just<br />
had to try and keep up,<br />
but it was a lot of fun.<br />
“It was pretty cool to experience that<br />
culture and get a grasp for it. Growing up<br />
in South Auckland, it shaped who I was<br />
going to be as a leader and how I interact<br />
with different people.”<br />
It will come as no surprise, then, that<br />
Read - once school drop-off duties are<br />
out of the way - is now spending his spare<br />
time forging a new career focused on<br />
leadership.<br />
Whether it’s captain of a first XV<br />
or chief executive of a business, Read<br />
believes many leaders are thrown in the<br />
deep end, and he has invaluable knowledge<br />
to keep them from sinking.<br />
“You get hung out to dry a little bit<br />
when you get named captain,” he says.<br />
“There’s not too many tools to help you.<br />
So I’m hoping to launch that soon and really<br />
help that next generation of leader.”<br />
Ask him the most pivotal aspect of<br />
leadership and, again, it’s all talk.<br />
“Accountability is probably one of the<br />
hardest things to have as a leader,” Read<br />
says.<br />
“You’re trying to have that hard conversation<br />
with your mate, saying: ‘Hey,<br />
you’re not pulling your weight here, we<br />
need you’, which is really hard to do.<br />
“It means being able to be a bit uncomfortable<br />
there. You work yourself up a<br />
bit before you do it but it’s an important<br />
I’d be in training and pop<br />
my head out of a maul<br />
and not know where I<br />
was.<br />
– Kieran Read<br />
conversation to have.<br />
“The way I led was that I hoped people<br />
would then hold me accountable, because<br />
there’s a connection and they understand<br />
that I’m doing it to them because of a bigger<br />
picture. I think that’s the important<br />
thing – if what you’re saying is going to<br />
help the team and put the team first, then<br />
it has to be said.”<br />
It hardly needs to be said that sport still<br />
flows through Read’s blood. Although<br />
he’s avoided the gym, running is far from<br />
the only athletic pursuit in his household.<br />
Read’s five-year-old son Reuben has yet<br />
to venture much further than the trampoline,<br />
but daughters<br />
Elle and Eden play touch,<br />
netball, basketball and<br />
hockey.<br />
“My wife’s not too<br />
happy,” Read laughs,<br />
“because when I’m away<br />
she’s got to ship them around everywhere<br />
for training.”<br />
Elle, his eldest, has also taken to<br />
cricket, just in time to offer her dad some<br />
crucial practice in the backyard.<br />
Read certainly looked well trained<br />
when he smashed 84 from 55 balls after<br />
opening the batting for Team Rugby in<br />
January’s Black Clash. But that knock did<br />
feature some nervy moments.<br />
Particularly, he remembers, when<br />
facing Shane Bond, who at 46 remains a<br />
few clicks faster than Read’s 11-year-old<br />
daughter.<br />
“If you love cricket, you love watching<br />
Shane Bond play,” Read says. “Growing<br />
up, that was one of my heroes, and suddenly<br />
you get the opportunity to face<br />
him.<br />
“I flew up with him from Christchurch,<br />
so we went for coffee and had a good<br />
yarn. I just thought I’d butter him up so<br />
when I did face him, maybe he wouldn’t<br />
send it down too hard.<br />
“Then, lo and behold – first ball,<br />
bouncer straight at the head. I was like:<br />
‘What’s happening?’”<br />
A year after leaving behind rugby and<br />
beginning the rest of his life, a content<br />
Read is more than satisfied with the<br />
answer to that question.<br />

• By Jonny Turner<br />
AN ALREADY epic<br />
harness racing journey<br />
continued when Regan<br />
Todd trained his 200th<br />
New Zealand winner at<br />
Rangiora on Sunday.<br />
Todd brought up the<br />
milestone in style with Play<br />
Philly and Stac completing<br />
a race-to-race double.<br />
The trainer admitted he<br />
is living a harness racing<br />
dream that has some of its<br />
earliest beginnings back<br />
in his home province of<br />
Southland.<br />
“Back in Wyndham I<br />
used to jump the fence at<br />
school a lot,” Todd said.<br />
“I would have the old<br />
school bag on and I would<br />
jump the fence to go help<br />
Snow (McLellan).”<br />
Somewhat ironically, it<br />
is a win that doesn’t count<br />
among his 200 that rates as<br />
one of the most important<br />
in Todd’s career.<br />
The trainer has a twofrom-two<br />
unbeaten record<br />
in Australia, with Show<br />
Gait scoring the trainer’s<br />
first Group One success in<br />
the latest of those.<br />
“That sort of got the ball<br />
rolling for us that horse.<br />
“Mark and Nat have<br />
been great supporters and<br />
that win sort of put us on<br />
the map.”<br />
Todd notched his first<br />
CHAMP: Regan Todd<br />
trained his 200th New<br />
Zealand winner at<br />
Rangiora on Sunday.<br />
Group One win in New<br />
Zealand a matter of weeks<br />
ago and naturally it rates<br />
very highly among the<br />
highlights in his 200<br />
victories on home soil.<br />
“Better Talk Art winning<br />
the Group One was a huge<br />
thrill.<br />
“We have been pretty<br />
lucky to win some big<br />
races.<br />
“The Southland Oaks<br />
last year was a pretty big<br />
thrill, I quite enjoyed that.<br />
“Especially because I am<br />
from down there.<br />
“We were second in the<br />
Southern Supremacy too,<br />
so it was a good day.”<br />
GOOD BET:<br />
Stac wins<br />
for Regan<br />
Todd to<br />
complete a<br />
race-to-race<br />
double in<br />
Rangiora<br />
on Sunday.<br />

Play Philly will attempt<br />
to follow in Better Talk<br />
Art’s footsteps by winning<br />
this year’s Southland Oaks<br />
final.<br />
Her victory in the<br />
Rangiora 3YO Stakes<br />
shows she is right on<br />
track for her Group Two<br />
tilt.<br />
“It worked out perfect,<br />
she hadn’t had a run for a<br />
while and it was a bit like a<br />
trial for her.”<br />
“She has done a great<br />
job.”<br />
Play Philly will head<br />
to the paddock after the<br />
Southland Oaks with the<br />
big fillies races later this<br />
year in Todd’s mind.<br />
“Her programme is<br />
to have another run in a<br />
fortnight to top her off for<br />
the Southland Oaks.<br />
“After she goes down<br />
there, she will be going to<br />
the paddock.<br />
“Then we will bring her<br />
back and hopefully have<br />
her right for the big races<br />
later in the season.”<br />
A great Robbie Close<br />
drive landed win 199<br />

was Sam Thornley who<br />
drove Stac to Todd’s 200th<br />
training win.<br />

Friday Night Lights open up playing options<br />
and numbers for Canterbury Rugby Clubs.<br />
It’s a phenomenon in America and<br />
now it’s hitting the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District,<br />
with Friday Night Lights now<br />
a staple in the Ellesmere Rugby<br />
calendar for Division 3, providing<br />
opportunities for a number of<br />
players to stay in the game.<br />
The ability to play under lights<br />
has helped several grades keep the<br />
fixture list in check, with the Luisetti<br />
Seeds Ellesmere Division 1 set to be<br />
played at Easter.<br />
For the teams competing in the<br />
Division 3 competition, playing<br />
on a Friday night provides an ideal<br />
setting in which to stay connected to<br />
the game, allowing the fathers, the<br />
coaches and those that combine both<br />
to still utilise their Saturday’s as they<br />
choose.<br />
As Lincoln Club Captain Andrew<br />
Clayton says, this provides an<br />
opportunity for all to come down to<br />
the club and get immersed in the club<br />
rugby atmosphere.<br />
“Having the lights on when we play<br />
on a Friday night,” said Clayton, “it<br />
allows the kids to come down and<br />
run around, the spectators to come<br />
down, watch some footy from the<br />
club and the players to play in an<br />
inviting, family environment.”<br />
“It’s got to the point where our<br />
Division 3 team insists on playing on<br />
a Friday night so that they can still<br />
play around their commitments.”<br />
Clayton said.<br />
As a result, a large number of the<br />
Division 3 players are able to commit<br />
time back to the game, with many of<br />
the group fathers and subsequently<br />
coaches of their children’s teams.<br />
“I’d say a third to a half of the players<br />
would coach on a Saturday, and if<br />
they don’t, they all have young kids<br />
so they’re involved anyway.”<br />
For the last three years, the grade has<br />
shifted to nearly all games taking<br />
place on a Friday, something that is<br />
now being utilised by a number of<br />
grades, especially in pre-season.<br />
“Next Friday night, we’ll have three<br />
games under lights, with most teams<br />
loving the opportunity to play under<br />
lights.” said Clayton.<br />
Friday Night Lights at Lincoln RFC<br />
“From the club perspective, having<br />
the club open on a Friday night<br />
allows us to keep the club afloat and it<br />
provides that hub for our community<br />
to enjoy a nice, relaxed atmosphere<br />
and some footy.”<br />
If Saturdays don’t suit, there’s<br />
an option for everyone to stay<br />
involved in rugby, contact your<br />
local club to enquire about these<br />
options today!

Weather and climate change<br />
prominent in council plans<br />
The impacts of climate change are evident in<br />
some of the extreme weather events we have<br />
seen over the last year, Environment Canterbury<br />
(ECan) says.<br />
In late May 2021, Canterbury experienced<br />
significant rainfall that led to widespread<br />
flooding, which had devastating impacts across<br />
the region. A regional state of emergency<br />
was declared, and support was mobilised for<br />
communities who were dealing with the damage.<br />
That event impacted regional infrastructure<br />
– main roading links in particular – as well as<br />
personal property, and did damage to the flood<br />
protection system (External link) that we have<br />
in place along the river. The extent of the impact<br />
was such that central government has pledged<br />
funds to support the rebuild of flood protection,<br />
and we need to fund our share.<br />
ECan has been calling for public feedback on<br />
council funding for dealing with weather events<br />
like May 2021.<br />
By carrying out flood protection work quickly,<br />
the region will recover faster and land, homes<br />
and communities will be protected from future<br />
events, the council says.<br />
Because of the regional significance of the<br />
May 2021 flood, the Government’s National<br />
Emergency Management Agency (External link)<br />
have committed to co-fund about $7.5 million<br />
of the recovery work. The total for the recovery<br />
work is estimated to be almost $20 million.<br />
“We need to fund our share - $12.2 million.<br />
We are proposing to borrow this money over<br />
two years, with repayments being met through<br />
a general rate. By borrowing $6.1 million in<br />
<strong>2022</strong>/3 and $6.1 million in 2023/24 and repaying<br />
through general rates over the next ten years,<br />
the costs are spread across the region over an<br />
extended period,” ECan says.<br />
Recognising that “climate change is the issue of<br />
our time”, ECan is also proposing a future levy to<br />
fund responses.<br />
“We are seeing increasingly frequent flooding,<br />
storms, fires and droughts, as well as melting ice<br />
sheets, sea level rise and changes to coastlines.<br />
Scientists and governments agree that we need to<br />
take urgent action now,” the council says.<br />
The levy would not be included in ECan’s<br />
Annual Plan <strong>2022</strong>/23. However, ECan says if<br />
a levy is supported, it would “work with the<br />
community to develop funding principles and<br />
prioritise initiatives”.<br />
“As a country, our greenhouse gases emissions<br />
are increasing. We want Canterbury/Waitaha<br />
to be resilient to the climate change impacts<br />
and extreme weather events that we are already<br />
seeing and to reduce further impacts by lowering<br />
greenhouse gas emissions.” We all have a part to<br />
play in this, ECan says. “As the regional council<br />
we want to ensure we can support you and your<br />
communities, by taking action that will shape<br />
Canterbury now and in the future.”<br />

Council rates take explained<br />
Environment Canterbury (ECan) is<br />
proposing a total of $264.02 million of<br />
activities in <strong>2022</strong>/23. If the preferred bus<br />
fare option of targeted fare-free transport<br />
is supported about 60% of total revenue<br />
will come from rates. The rates revenue<br />
required will be less if a different option is<br />
selected, the council says.<br />
ECan’s proposed draft Annual is based<br />
on Year 2 of the Long-Term Plan 2021–31,<br />
which the council adopted in June last<br />
year.<br />
Priorities for the next decade are<br />
freshwater management, climate<br />
change resilience, emissions reduction,<br />
pest control, and the regeneration of<br />
Income and sources of funding<br />
ECan activities are funded from a combination of rates,<br />
grants, user pays and other income (see table below).<br />
biodiversity. Other major work areas<br />
include building community engagement<br />
and sharing collected information<br />
and data to improve transparency and<br />
decision-making.<br />
“The Long-Term Plan highlights the<br />
breadth of our work from meeting new<br />
statutory requirements and Government<br />
legislation to taking transformational<br />
opportunities for the environment,” ECan<br />
says.<br />
The council says relatively high<br />
increases in total rates revenue in the<br />
2021/22 and <strong>2022</strong>/23 years it its Long<br />
Term Plan “stemmed from the need to<br />
meet new statutory requirements and<br />

respond to the priorities identified by<br />
stakeholders and the community during<br />
consultation.”<br />
During consultation on the plan,<br />
concerns were raised about the ongoing<br />
impact on rates, especially with increasing<br />
financial pressures and the economic<br />
uncertainties linked to the Covid-19<br />
pandemic.<br />
“Last year we addressed affordability<br />
concerns by borrowing and amending<br />
the scale or timing of our activities in<br />
2021/22 to restrict the rates rise to 12.6%.<br />
While this reduced the total rates revenue<br />
required in 2021/22, the result was an<br />
18.8% increase in the coming financial<br />
year (<strong>2022</strong>/23).”<br />
Borrowing can be used to spread the<br />
cost of an activity with benefits that<br />
last longer than the repayment period.<br />
“By borrowing in 2021/22 to support<br />
development of a new freshwater<br />
regulatory framework we reduced rates<br />
revenue in that year, although repayments<br />
will have some impact on rates for the<br />
next nine years,” ECan says.<br />

Get ready to collect falling leaves<br />
LEAVES ON deciduous trees are<br />
beginning to colour and towards<br />
the end of the month there is<br />
always the possibility of an early<br />
frost.<br />
A busy month in the garden<br />
with many tasks to be completed<br />
before the onset of winter.<br />
Vegetable garden<br />
Harvest the last of the summer<br />
vegetables. Prepare and plant the<br />
winter vegetable garden with the<br />
following – broad beans, broccoli,<br />
Brussel sprouts, cabbages,<br />
cauliflower, onions, silver beet<br />
and spinach. To ensure healthy,<br />
vigorous growth of your winter<br />
vegetables, prepare the soil thoroughly<br />
by adding fresh compost.<br />
Stagger plantings to guarantee<br />
continuous harvesting, rather<br />
than having crops all maturing<br />
at once. Where there are empty<br />
beds, sow a green manure crop<br />
such as mustard or lupins, that<br />
can be dug into the soil in late<br />
winter/early spring. This protects<br />
the soil over winter and adds<br />
organic matter and nutrients back<br />
into the soil.<br />
Flowering annuals<br />
Late autumn flowering annuals<br />
are now finishing flowering<br />
and can be removed. Add fresh<br />
compost to the existing soil and<br />
plant winter flowering annuals<br />
including aquilegia, alyssum,<br />
SEASONS: Rich red and<br />
brown colours indicate the<br />
onset of autumn, leaves<br />
make good mulch. It’s also<br />
time to dig up those empty<br />
beds for winter planting.<br />
calendulas, cineraria’s, cornflower,<br />
lobelias, nemesia, pansies, stock,<br />
sweet william, and violas.<br />
Strawberries<br />
<strong>April</strong> and May are the main<br />
months for planting new strawberry<br />
plants. Prepare new strawberry<br />
‘beds’ by adding compost to<br />
the existing soil, as strawberries<br />
grow best in a ‘rich’ soil. Create<br />
mounds 200mm above the<br />
existing soil and plant strawberry<br />
plants spaced 120-150mm apart.<br />
‘Mounding’ the soil improves<br />
drainage, and the soil warms up<br />
quicker in spring.<br />
Fruit trees<br />
The last of the apples such<br />
as granny smith, can now be<br />
harvested. All pip and stone<br />
fruit trees will benefit from a late<br />
autumn ‘clean up’ fungicide spray<br />
of a copper compound, this is<br />
especially important for peach<br />
and nectarine trees. Delay pruning<br />
until all the leaves have fallen,<br />
to allow for a better overview of<br />
a tree’s framework. Both feijoas<br />
and kiwifruit can be harvested in<br />
<strong>April</strong>. Let feijoas mature on the<br />
plant and fall to the ground where<br />
they can be collected.<br />
Rose care<br />
Late blooming roses such<br />
as iceberg, will still be flowering<br />
freely, while most bush and<br />
climbing roses are in their last<br />
month of flowering. Collect all<br />
fallen leaves to reduce next seasons<br />
infection of rust and black<br />
spot. Mulch with fresh compost.<br />
In the herb garden<br />
The last month to collect fresh<br />
herb leaves to dry and store for<br />
use in winter. Over winter it may<br />
be more convenient to grow herbs<br />
in containers in a sunny spot near<br />
the kitchen.<br />
Lawns<br />
Time to renovate existing lawns<br />
or sow new ones (early <strong>April</strong>). As<br />
with many aspects of horticulture,<br />
preparation is critical for success<br />
in developing a new lawn. When<br />
importing new soil, where<br />
possible, ensure it is weed free.<br />
Sow generous amounts of grass<br />
seed and maintain moisture<br />
levels on the germinating seed.<br />
With existing lawns, apply lawn<br />
fertiliser to promote strong,<br />
healthy growth.<br />
Container gardens<br />
Containers are useful for providing<br />
colour and interest over<br />
the winter months. Flowering<br />
annuals thrive in containers and<br />
brighten decks and entrances.<br />
Winter vegetables such as lettuce,<br />
spring onions and spinach can<br />
also be grown in reasonable sized<br />
containers. Always use fresh<br />
container mix when planting a<br />
new ‘crop.’<br />
House plant care<br />
When choosing new house<br />
plants, always consider the shape,<br />
habit, texture and colouring of<br />
your new plants. Other important<br />
factors are the temperature,<br />
humidity, and light in a home<br />
over the winter months. Remember<br />
days are shorter in winter<br />
and some plants may need to be<br />
shifted closer to windows. Watering<br />
can be reduced in the cooler<br />
months using lukewarm water.<br />
Stop fertiliser applications as it<br />
is only beneficial during periods<br />
of active growth (early spring to<br />
early autumn).<br />
Fun and exercise<br />

GARDENING 31<br />
Give plants a chance to get established<br />
• By Henri Ham<br />
AUTUMN IS a treasured<br />
planting season offering ideal<br />
temperature and more instances<br />
of rain.<br />
It is cool enough for gardeners<br />
to work in the garden and yet<br />
warm enough for plants to get<br />
established before winter.<br />
Garden maintenance<br />
• Keep weeds out and feed<br />
citrus plants.<br />
• Prepare your lawn for winter.<br />
• Watch out for garden slugs.<br />
• Harvest the remaining summer<br />
crops.<br />
• Prepare garden beds, add<br />
compost, potting mix, and some<br />
fertiliser.<br />
Let’s look into more things to<br />
do in the garden in <strong>April</strong>.<br />
Edible garden<br />
Beetroot, silverbeet, brassicas<br />
(broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage,<br />
etc) and celery are good to plant<br />
at this time of the year.<br />
Beetroot is a versatile choice,<br />
highly nutritious and also delicious.<br />
It can be used in many<br />
beautiful dishes or enjoyed on its<br />
own. You may also want to try<br />
growing peas, generally loved by<br />
many and also a good source of<br />
nutrients.<br />
Many gardeners use the staggered<br />
planting technique to ensure<br />
that they have a continuous<br />
crop throughout winter. Plant<br />
vegetable seedlings every 10-14<br />
days so they mature and yield<br />
fruits at different times.<br />
If you have limited garden bed<br />
space, consider planting slowergrowing<br />
vegetable varieties like<br />
red cabbage next to fast-growing<br />
ones like lettuces.<br />
This maximises the valuable<br />
garden spaces and allows the gardener<br />
to harvest the lettuce leaves<br />
as they grow while waiting for the<br />
other vegetables to mature.<br />
Some gardeners also consider<br />
thinning their carrots in autumn.<br />
To thin, start removing those<br />
that are growing too close to each<br />
other.<br />
Carrots need to be spaced<br />
about 2cm apart to grow. Pick out<br />
the ones that are the size of baby<br />
carrots.<br />
These are quite sweet and good<br />
for roasting or raw snacks.<br />
Make sure to firm the soil<br />
around the remaining carrot<br />
plants. This practice helps reduce<br />
carrot flies along with planting<br />
carrots next to spring onions and<br />
garlic chives.<br />
FRESH:<br />
Carrots<br />
should be<br />
planted<br />
around<br />
2cm apart.<br />
Flower garden<br />
Autumn planting helps improve<br />
a garden’s chances of having more<br />
colourful blossoms in spring. The<br />
soil is still warm for the flower<br />
seedlings to get established. It’s a<br />
good time to plant pansy, viola,<br />
wallflower, stock, alyssum, dianthus<br />
and sweet peas. Mix and<br />
match perennials and annuals.<br />
Ideas for flower tubs, pots:<br />
1 Pots of different sizes with<br />
mixed pansies and violas<br />
2 Large pots _ place taller<br />
plants like stock or carnation in<br />
the middle and surround it with<br />
shorter plants like pansies<br />
Idea for hanging flower baskets<br />
- Lobelias (mixed and cascading).<br />
Herb garden<br />
If you have a herb garden, consider<br />
moving the basil indoors or<br />
inside the greenhouse to protect<br />
them from cold snaps. <strong>April</strong> is the<br />
time to plant rocket, thyme and<br />
oregano; and, to prune your sage<br />
and rosemary.<br />
Natives<br />
Autumn is natives season. It’s<br />
time to plant trees and hedges in<br />
order for their roots to settle in<br />
and get established before winter<br />
kicks in. Akeake and Pittosporum<br />
(also Griselinia for warmer<br />
regions) are often used to create<br />
hedges.<br />
There are several fast-growing<br />
varieties if you are interested in<br />
creating a hedge for your property.<br />
In choosing the right plant<br />
variety for your hedge, consider<br />
the primary purpose of the hedge:<br />
shelter, privacy, fencing, decorative<br />
border and peace and quiet.<br />
Create a map of the area you’d<br />
like to cover. Pick a sunny spot as<br />
most trees grow best under full<br />
sun. If the area you’re considering<br />
is partially shaded, choose the<br />
right plants that will grow under<br />
those conditions.<br />
Early autumn is a good time to<br />

Autumn<br />
gArden<br />
guide<br />
Autumn is a great time to get on top of all your tasks<br />
before the winter months set in. the daylight hours<br />
are slowly disappearing, and there is a noticeable<br />
cooling in the air, but there are still plenty of things<br />
to keep you busy in the garden. Here are the top<br />
things to consider through the next few months.<br />
Lawn Care<br />
Give your lawn a muchneeded<br />
boost of nutrients<br />
with a top-quality lawn<br />
fertiliser. This is best done on<br />
an overcast day, or when rain<br />
is predicted. Set your sprinkler<br />
after application and give it a<br />
good soak. New lawns can be<br />
laid now as well. Keep up the<br />
irrigation to ensure your seed<br />
doesn’t dry out.<br />

• Birdies Garden Beds<br />
• Organic Compost<br />

• Bark Mulch<br />
Winter Veggies<br />
If you want to grow from<br />
seed, start these in jiffy pots<br />
now. Pop them in a mini<br />
propagator, or somewhere<br />
warm and sunny inside. They<br />
will be ready to plant out<br />
in no time. Be sure to use<br />
a seed raising mix for the<br />
seeds, and then use a veggie<br />
mix to plant the seedlings<br />
into your chosen area.<br />

Excellent opportunity to live the dream!<br />
The feeling of "home" is what comes to mind when you travel down this tree-lined drive! Situated on an irrigated<br />
10-hectare (24-acres) block and located less than 15 minutes from Rolleston, this modern home, built in 2015, exudes<br />
warmth, space and charm. Set across a single level, this three bedroom (or use the spacious office as a fourth), two<br />
bathroom home is generously proportioned to accommodate large families. The open kitchen operates as the social<br />
hub and overlooks the dining/living and gardens. A separate lounge is the ideal space to retreat to and winters are<br />
taken care of by the large log burner and heat transfer! Internal access garaging provides parking for the cars whilst<br />
there's still plenty of space for the caravan, boat and toys. With excellent irrigation consent, the block is subdivided<br />
into 10 paddocks with full electric fencing. Supporting buildings include a large 4bay barn/implement shed with<br />
power, and one bay fully enclosed lockup, another 2bay hay barn, a shearing plant, wool shed and stock yard. This<br />
property is the perfect place for kids and pets to roam freely and is the ideal opportunity to live the dream, create<br />
memories and do so much more. Unique offerings like this does not often come to the market. A viewing is a must to<br />
appreciate all that is on offer! Price + GST (if any)<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Choosing your<br />
benchtop<br />
Should it be functionality over durability<br />
or cost over style? Is the benchtop<br />
porous that you’ve chosen; will it stain,<br />
and is it hygienic? Are you choosing an<br />
environmentally friendly option? Whether<br />
creating your kitchen for a new build or<br />
renovating your existing kitchen, there<br />
are many considerations when selecting a<br />
benchtop. Here are some suggestions:<br />
Marble/Granite<br />
Marble and granite, priced at the higher<br />
end of the market, are natural stone<br />
materials and can provide a stunning<br />
statement look. With gorgeous natural<br />
grains and patterns, both are porous.<br />
However, if not sealed regularly, these<br />
stones can be easily damaged by oil and<br />
anything acidic. They can also chip easily,<br />
and although heat-resistant, hot pans<br />
straight off the stove can cause issues.<br />
Engineered/Composite Stone<br />
As an alternative to marble or granite,<br />
engineered or composite stone benchtops<br />
are available. The composite material is<br />
made from a pressurised quartz and resin<br />
compound and may contain granite chips<br />
and glass. It doesn’t need to be sealed and<br />
is easy to look after, although it can chip.<br />
This hard-wearing material is available in<br />
a wide range of styles, colours and finishes<br />
and may be similar in price to some<br />
granites.<br />
Acrylic<br />
Acrylic benchtops are non-porous, have<br />
seamless joins and are incredibly hygienic.<br />
In addition, acrylic benchtops are easy to<br />
clean and maintain, being stain-resistant.<br />
If needed, they can be repaired and<br />
polished to look new again. However,<br />
placing hot pots directly on the surface can<br />
cause damage.<br />
Laminate<br />
The most economical option on the<br />
market is laminate (Formica) benchtops.<br />
Don’t let visions of the past, where orange<br />
Formica reigned supreme in the kitchen,<br />
deter you from this option. Many surface<br />
finishes and colour options are now<br />
available as technology has improved.<br />
Laminate is stain-resistant and, therefore,<br />
easy to maintain. However, chips can<br />
break the melamine coating layer. This<br />
break may mean water can seep in and<br />
cause the underlying chipboard to expand.<br />
If you are doing some DIY and looking<br />
at sustainable choices, perhaps you might<br />
consider resurfacing the existing benchtop<br />
using a specialist benchtop paint or<br />
overlaying it with a sheet of engineered<br />
stone.<br />
With so many choices available,<br />
your kitchen benchtop can meet your<br />
functional needs while being beautiful,<br />
stylish and within your budget.<br />
Timber<br />
Wooden benchtops are a big trend<br />
in <strong>2022</strong>. Wood can bring a natural and<br />
softer look to your kitchen area. With a<br />
wide variety of wood options available,<br />
you can add character and colour to your<br />
benchtop. However, wooden surfaces are<br />
not maintenance-free and may require<br />
sanding back and resealing if damaged. In<br />
addition, being slightly porous, they are<br />
not as hygienic as other products.<br />
