PAGE 26 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Wednesday March 22 2017 CONTINUING EDUCATION FLAME FILES Farm life has plenty to offer young people From city girl to sharemilker to equity farmer, North Canterbury’s Wendy Croft has come a long way in a sector that allows young people to work hard and prosper. “I was working in a bank before I got into farming. I had never milked a cow, but we got into sharemilking to save money, and it was easier for me to manage it than to get someone else to do it.” Three years ago Wendy enrolled in Ara Institute of Canterbury’s NZ Diploma in Agribusiness Management; a practical qualification for working farmers that is delivered online with face to face tutorials in Culverden. The programme is run with the Primary ITO and was rated as “excellent” by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) in a recent report. With two young children and a business to run, Wendy balanced her studies with her family and work commitments. ““I think my husband and I worked together every day for three years! It was hard, and it’s not for everyone. It’s challenging but it’s really rewarding.” Does she miss her city lifestyle? “Yes, sometimes I miss the city, but I love the lifestyle here – I have good neighbours and good staff.” SCARRED: Scorched trees on the Port Hills, some are still hot and in danger of reigniting. Tree trunks still smouldering • By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk Management Officer NEARLY A month after the big Port Hills fire started we are still getting the odd call to smouldering stumps or tree trunks. The latest was on Monday off Dyers Pass Rd during a day of rain and it shows how deep and persistent large wildfires can be. There were a couple of instances this week of what could kindly be called as muddled thinking. In the first on Monday in Knowles St a large burning candle was placed on the Ferrymead top of a free standing fireplace – that was operating due to the cold snap. Of course the candle melted all over and down the fireplace and ignited. No real damage but smoke throughout. The second involved a tourist in a hotel room who put the kettle on an element on the stove top to make tea. Unfortunately it was an electric, and far more importantly, plastic kettle. Smoke and mess again. We also saw a toaster in a cupboard in Redwood cause a lot of heat and some real concern from the A Piece of the World by Christina Baker Kline ‘Graceful, moving and powerful . . . a wonderful story that seems to have been waiting, all this time, for Kline to come along and tell it’ MICHAEL CHABON For decades, Christina Olson’s whole world has been a rocky, windswept point on the coast of Maine, the farmhouse her ancestors fled to from the Salem witch trials. A world she fears she will never leave. As a girl, farm life asked more of Christina than it did her family, her wasting limbs turning every task into a challenge. But the very tenacity that strengthened her may dash her chances for a life beyond her chores and extinguish her hopes for love. Years pass and Christina’s solitude is broken by the arrival of Andrew Wyeth, a young artist who is fixated on the isolated farm house. In Christina he will discover more than a kindred spirit; for him, she will become a muse like no other…From the bestselling author of ORPHAN TRAIN comes a luminous portrait of a woman of grit and grace, as heartwarming as it is gripping. A story that allows the reader to marvel at Andrew Wyeth’s iconic portrait from the other side. Geek Girl (6) - Forever Geek by Holly Smale My name is Harriet Manners and I’ll be a geek forever…The FINAL book in the bestselling, award-winning GEEK GIRL series is here! Harriet Manners knows almost every fact there is. Modelling isn’t a sure-fire route to popularity. Neither is making endless lists. The people you love don’t expect you to transform into someone else. Statistically you are more likely to not meet your Australian ex-boyfriend in Australia than bump into him there. So on the trip of a lifetime Down Under Harriet’s to-do lists are gone and it’s Nat’s time to shine! Yet with nearly-not-quite-boyfriend Jasper back home, Harriet’s completely unprepared to see supermodel ex Nick. Is the fashion world about to turn ugly for GEEK GIRL? It’s time for Harriet to face the future. Time to work out where her heart lies. To learn how to let go... WIN THIS BOOK ENTER TO WIN THIS BOOK occupant. ‘Appliance garages’ have been around for many years now. They consist of what is generally a small roller door covering toaster and kettle with a power point available inside. They will generally work fine in this way. But they should never be closed while this happens. There have been a few fires over the years where the roller door has been shut on to the knob of the toaster, preventing it from popping up. The result can be devastating. book release We have one copy of A Piece of the World by Christina Baker Kline to give away, courtesy of Take Note Ferrymead.
