14 Tuesday October 17 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi NOR’WEST NEWS Local News Now Fire rages, homes at risk FLAME FILES City raining cats and dogs • By Mark Thomas – specialist fire investigator I SUPPOSE you could say last week it rained cats and dogs in Christchurch. Well, one of each was rescued by fire crews from under a school in Phillipstown and from a stormwater drain in Woolston respectively. That was early in a week which had a bit of everything for firefighters. A hang glider pilot was carried out to Summit Rd with leg injuries from a crash. This type of incident is a valid reason why I prefer Air New Zealand and a professional pilot before I go too far off the ground. Five people were treated for smoke inhalation when a clothes drier ignited in Rochester St, Linwood, and two more when the Belfast Playcentre caught on fire at a child’s party. As I’ve said a hundred times your health and your safety are more important than any building. Fire smoke is not good for you. Get out, shut the door and ring 111. Our troops have protective clothing, breathing apparatus and training. Papanui butchery went mobile Papanui Heritage Group archivist Christine Grant writes about the history of a Papanui butchery In the days when most married women were fulltime housewives and owning a refrigerator was a luxury beyond most families, meat was generally purchased by women who walked to the nearest butchery several times a week. One such business with a long history in Papanui was situated at 14 North Rd, opposite the end of what is now Winston Ave. In the 1880s, this shop had been owned and operated by different members of the Ford family until the late 1920s when it was acquired by Arthur Taylor. He was succeeded by Stan Priest in the early 1930s until 1936 when the business was purchased by ST Gibson. Although the shop was located in the middle of the traditional Papanui village area, Mr Gibson changed its name to the Waimairi Butchery, possibly because at this time part of Papanui was still administered by the Waimairi County Council. In August 1936, Mr Gibson advertised “quality mutton” for HEAT PUMP SALE NOW ON!

Gibson had 100 carcasses to sell at this special price. In another advertisement he stated: “We are prepared to sell cheaper mutton than anywhere else in Canterbury. Hotels and restaurants specially catered for.” In 1940, Jim Southen bought the business for ₤300. Two of his sons, Sid and Reg, worked for their father who also ran a home 2 delivery service in the Papanui, Bryndwr and Belfast areas, utilising a box on the back of the family Buick. The vehicle was later replaced by a van strikingly emblazoned with the name of the business on the sides. In 1957 or 1958, another son, Fred, took over the shop. A butcher’s shop in this period would have displayed the carcasses of mutton, pork and beef hanging from hooks on a rail so that they could be easily slid along when the customer asked for a particular cut of meat. [Edition datE] HOME & HEATING Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit, most homes include at least one heat pump, if not a whole heating solution. They can provide cheap, clean heat and are much more convenient than a log burner as you just need to press a button. But how do you decide what is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore important to get professional advice from heat pump experts. The range varies from wall mounted high walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted central heating systems allowing you to have a very discreet way of heating your whole home to a constant temperature throughout. Firstly, you must select a heat pump that is suitable for the size of the space you wish to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area taken into consideration but also, insulation, building orientation, windows and ceiling space. There are a wide range of heat pumps available with different heating outputs so it is important to select the correct size for your requirements that will handle the job but not be unnecessarily overpowered. Secondly, the location of your heat pump is also extremely important. The cheapest installation is a back to back where the outdoor unit is positioned directly behind the indoor unit however this is not necessarily always the best option. It is vital that the indoor unit is positioned in a place that will not be A large wooden block was located at the end of the counter. The floor was usually covered in sawdust in an attempt to prevent slipping by using a natural material that could be easily disposed. Children loved to scuff their feet through the sawdust and to draw pictures in it. It appears that the last owner of the butchery at 14 North Rd was LJ (Larry) Salt, who operated the business under his own name from 1963-1966. •References: Wises Directories Choosing the right heat pump for your home constantly blowing on you. Also important, is the location of the outdoor unit. Most people do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly in their outdoor entertaining area or right outside their bedroom window. Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands have come and gone over the years but there are a number of manufacturers who provide reputable and reliable products. All brands vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems and price, so it depends on your application as to which will be most suitable. Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands backed up by good technical after sales service. Ensure your heat pump is installed by an accredited installer. This will not only ensure correct installation of your heat pump, but also validate the manufacturers warranty. Other things to consider when choosing a heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi capabilities.
