Safe house stickers a<br />
way to help beat crime<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
RESIDENTS ARE launching their<br />
own initiatives to tackle crime in<br />
Parklands, including the creation<br />
of Safe House Community Stickers<br />
designed to aid anyone in distress.<br />
The brainchild of concerned<br />
residents Grant Donnell and Ariana<br />
King, the initiative is a partnership<br />
with local schools and signage company,<br />
SIGNBIZ.<br />
Residents can place the distinctive<br />
yellow stickers, which read<br />
“community safe house,” on their<br />
letterboxes.<br />
They signal to any child or person<br />
who feels distressed that it is okay<br />
to knock on the front door. This<br />
enables them to seek refuge or<br />
call parents, a trusted person, or<br />
authorities.<br />
Said Donnell: “It’s more for the<br />
kids, but it’s for anyone. We had an<br />
elderly man who was wandering<br />
the street and he was delirious. He<br />
walked past so many houses and<br />
not one person gave him a hand.<br />

Upgraded community centre opens<br />
THE NORTH New Brighton<br />
Community Centre has<br />
reopened after a much-needed<br />
revamp.<br />
The centre at 93 Marine Pde<br />
has just had a two-month,<br />
$236,000 refurbishment, inside<br />
and out, after the city council<br />
identified it as a priority for<br />
maintenance.<br />
“There’s a beautiful ocean<br />
view from this facility, which has<br />
made it a popular<br />
venue for<br />
weddings, receptions<br />
and parties,<br />
and now the<br />
building itself<br />
has been beautified<br />
to match,”<br />
John Filsell<br />
said John Filsell,<br />
city council head<br />
REVAMPED: The North New Brighton Community Centre is now open to the public<br />
following a two-month closure for refurbishment.<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />
of community support, governance<br />
and partnerships.<br />
“As well as fresh paint, partial<br />
deck and handrail replacement<br />
and new doors and signage,<br />
we’ve also fitted out the inside,”<br />
Filsell said.<br />
“We’ve extended the upstairs<br />
kitchen with all new fittings and<br />
appliances, resealed the flooring<br />
to the hall and stage, given<br />
the ceilings, walls and doors a<br />
new paint job and upgraded the<br />
toilets.<br />
“This is part of our ongoing<br />
refurbishments of our council facilities<br />
– these are great treasures<br />
dotted around the city, and they<br />
can be booked for all sorts of<br />
functions, classes and meetings.<br />
“Up next, we’ll be improving<br />
Ascot Community Centre,<br />
Fendalton Community<br />
Centre, Harvard Lounge, Hei<br />

Waimairi Community Centre,”<br />
Filsell said.<br />
The North New Brighton<br />
Community Centre<br />
refurbishment is a result of the<br />
city council’s recently completed<br />
community facilities network<br />
plan. This plan gives a snapshot<br />
of facilities across the city.<br />
By understanding where<br />
these spaces are and what each<br />
can offer, the city council can<br />
work with the community to<br />
make the most of each facility<br />
in the network, and identify and<br />
support opportunities for the<br />
community to activate, operate<br />
or own the facilities.<br />
In Brief<br />
BUS STOP NOTICES<br />
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board has asked<br />
the city council to make the<br />
information notices outside the<br />
Eastgate Shopping Centre transport<br />
hub larger. A resident raised<br />
concerns about the signs, which<br />
outline the temporary relocation<br />
of bus stops, saying they are too<br />
small and difficult to read for the<br />
visually impaired. The area is being<br />
transformed to make it safer<br />
for people to access the bus stops.<br />
PLANTING DAY<br />
Volunteers are invited to take<br />
part in the second Trees for<br />
Canterbury community planting<br />
event at Horseshoe Lake Reserve<br />
on <strong>June</strong> 26, 10am to noon. The<br />
project aims to plant more native<br />
trees and shrubs, donated by<br />
TFC, in the area. Take your<br />
family, friends and a spade.<br />
RUBBISH BIN CHANGE<br />
A rubbish bin that was removed<br />
after it was lit on fire in a car<br />
park between the New Brighton<br />
Surf Club and He Puna<br />
Taimoana hot pools will not be<br />
replaced. City council staff said<br />
large “smart bins” have been<br />
installed in the area, which take<br />
six to 10 times more rubbish<br />
than the old bin. Staff said they<br />
have not observed increased<br />
littering since the bin’s removal.<br />

Men’s socks,<br />
underwear<br />
sought<br />
by charity<br />
A WAINONI charity is seeking<br />
donations of new “socks and<br />
jocks” for the vulnerable men it<br />
supports.<br />
Coinciding with Men’s Mental<br />
Health Week, the He Waka Tapu<br />
Trust’s Brotherhood programme<br />
is holding its inaugural “socks and<br />
jocks week.”<br />
The trust provides practical<br />
donations such as clothing,<br />
homewares and toiletries to men<br />
who have experienced adversity in<br />
their lives.<br />
Many of them attend courses<br />
at the trust, with themes such as<br />
stopping violence, building confidence<br />
and self-esteem, alcohol<br />
and drug education, social support<br />
and health and fitness.<br />
The aim is to buy new socks or<br />
underwear in any colour or size<br />
which have to remain in their<br />
original packaging.<br />
Like-minded businesses, organisations<br />
and the wider public<br />
have until tomorrow to deliver<br />
the goods to the nearest drop-off<br />
point.<br />

•From page 1<br />
“So it got me thinking that we<br />
could get something there to say:<br />
‘We can look after you’,” Donnell<br />
said.<br />
The initiative comes after<br />
meetings between residents,<br />
schools, community groups,<br />
business owners, city council staff<br />
and police to discuss concerns<br />
over increased youth offending in<br />
the area.<br />
The meetings, spearheaded<br />
by Donnell, followed a<br />
2000-signature petition he<br />
started in an effort to get the<br />
city council to install crime<br />
prevention cameras at Parklands<br />
Reserve, Parklands Community<br />
Centre and the Travis Wetlands<br />
car park on Mairehau Rd.<br />
Donnell told <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> in<br />
March, the incidents, largely<br />
involving teenagers, allegedly<br />
included assault with knives,<br />
theft, car break-ins and children<br />
selling drugs.<br />
But it seems like the issues<br />
have taken a turn for the better<br />
since residents took a proactive<br />
approach.<br />
“Crime’s down, there’s a lot<br />
more police in the area now,<br />
which is great. Every second day<br />
someone was getting beaten up<br />
or cars were getting broken into,”<br />
Donnell said.<br />
“But it’s basically been a<br />
HELP: The Safe House Community Stickers are designed to<br />
go on Parkland’s residents’ letterboxes.<br />
month-and-a-half since we<br />
had anything like that on our<br />
Facebook page, residents are<br />
looking out for each other.<br />
“A lot of kids are playing sports<br />
now, using those fields and the<br />
community is out and about.”<br />
Outcomes and future steps<br />
that came to light following<br />
the meetings were highlighted<br />
by Donnell at a recent Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community Board<br />
meeting.<br />
These included a youth drop-in<br />
hub at the Pukeko Centre where<br />
“kids might need a feed,” and<br />
having a system where existing<br />
trusts, residents’ associations,<br />
and community groups can<br />
collectively provide assistance to<br />
tackle common issues.<br />
Community board deputy<br />
chairwoman Jo Zervos and<br />
other members were also at the<br />
meetings to listen to residents’<br />
concerns.<br />
Everything from loitering at<br />
playgrounds and more lighting<br />
in public places to supporting<br />
parents and enabling more<br />
community involvement in many<br />
aspects of Parklands life was<br />
discussed.<br />
“[The meetings]<br />
were very heated<br />
and there were<br />
a lot of upset<br />
people, but<br />
halfway through<br />
Jo Zervos<br />
the night, the<br />
tides turned. It<br />
went from negative<br />
thinking to positive solutions,”<br />
said Zervos.<br />
“It’s one of these things that’s<br />
happening all around the city,<br />
not just Parklands. But Parklands<br />
decided to act and that’s really<br />
fantastic.”<br />
Zervos praised Donnell and<br />
the community for getting their<br />
heads together to form solutions,<br />
including the Safe House stickers.<br />
But they will not be launched<br />
until Donnell receives more<br />
funding and legal advice.<br />
“It brings Parklands together<br />
and strengthens it,” she said.<br />
“And it’ll be beneficial for kids<br />
knowing that they can go to a<br />
house if they feel under threat or<br />
need help; there’s been concern<br />
about bullying tactics and kids<br />
with crime.”<br />

Issues highlighted in survey<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
RESIDENTS ARE largely<br />
unsatisfied with the condition<br />
of roads and footpaths in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
The city council’s recent<br />
Christchurch Residents’ Survey<br />
revealed only<br />
29 per cent<br />
of those who<br />
gave feedback<br />
are satisfied<br />
with the<br />
condition of<br />
roads and 36<br />
Bronwyn<br />
Hayward<br />
per cent with<br />
footpaths.<br />
It comes<br />
as the city council’s Long Term<br />
Plan, which outlines its 10-year<br />
budget, and has been undergoing<br />
consultation since March, will be<br />
finalised this month. It includes a<br />
proposed budget of $18.3 million<br />
a year, for the first three years of<br />
the plan, for road resurfacing.<br />
Meanwhile, the results of<br />
the survey show 24 per cent<br />
of respondents who have been<br />
involved in governance processes<br />
are satisfied with their influence<br />
on city council decisions and<br />
only 36 per cent understand how<br />
its decisions are made.<br />
It comes as 2381 Christchurch<br />

Term Plan.<br />
The city council says it is working<br />
on ways to improve engagement.<br />
The Star spoke to residents<br />
in April after written consultation<br />
for the Long Term Plan had<br />
closed. All either did not know<br />
what the Long Term Plan is, or<br />
chose not to give feedback on it.<br />
Canterbury University professor<br />
Bronwyn Hayward believes<br />
the number of people who gave<br />
feedback on the draft Long Term<br />
Plan is promising. However,<br />
she said the reason more people<br />
did not give feedback, could be<br />
because they have a lack satisfaction<br />
with their influence on city<br />
council decisions.<br />
“It is costly in terms of time<br />
and resources to actually read<br />
a plan and spend time writing<br />

formal submissions.<br />
“Many people that give submissions<br />
are not expecting to<br />
have their submissions agreed<br />
with, but we do know that people<br />
have confidence in a process<br />
when they feel that they were<br />
listened to respectfully and given<br />
enough time to be heard.”<br />
Said city councillor Yani Johanson:<br />
“I think at a governance<br />
level, we do need to consider how<br />
we make it easier for people to<br />
understand what council’s doing<br />
and to be involved in what council’s<br />
doing.<br />
“Certainly, making it easier for<br />
people to understand information<br />
is critical. The second thing<br />
is having greater transparency<br />
and openness around our briefings.”<br />
Said city council head of community<br />
support, governance and<br />
partnerships John Filsell: “We<br />
are always looking at ways we<br />
can improve our engagement.<br />
“We are continuing to engage<br />
and educate on decisions and we<br />
actively encourage as many people<br />
as possible to submit, contribute<br />
and get involved via a variety<br />
of channels – online, hard copy<br />
and face to face.<br />
“These questions [in the survey]<br />
seek to establish if citizens<br />
have had that opportunity to<br />
contribute/influence/have their<br />
say on council decisions – rather<br />

Trust granted more space to grow<br />
native trees for the community<br />
A CHARITABLE trust which<br />
runs a native tree nursery<br />
providing thousands of trees<br />
each year for community<br />
planting projects across the city<br />
is expanding its operation.<br />
The Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
has given The Green Effect<br />
Trust permission to lease more<br />
of Charlesworth Reserve, Ferrymead,<br />
so it can increase the<br />
size of its Trees for Canterbury<br />
native tree nursery.<br />
The trust grows more than<br />
150,000 plants a year, of which<br />
around 40,000 are donated for<br />
community planting projects.<br />
The remainder are sold on a<br />
commercial basis, with all the<br />
profits reinvested in the organisation.<br />
Trees for Canterbury manager<br />
Steve Bush said the expansion<br />
of the nursery meant a lot to the<br />
trust.<br />
“It increases employment with<br />
an extra staff member being<br />
brought on board, it enables us to<br />
support more volunteers and to<br />
offer more educational activities<br />
on-site, while providing the extra<br />
space to grow more eco-sourced<br />
EXPANSION: Trees for Canterbury trust manager Steve Bush said being granted<br />
permission to expand its operations meant more people with disabilities can be<br />
employed to work for them.<br />

local plant species for projects<br />
and plantings in Christchurch,’’<br />
he said.<br />
“There has been so much pressure<br />
to supply local species, our<br />
resources are at breaking point.<br />
Without this extension, it will<br />
hold back our support for the<br />
huge number of community and<br />
council plantings that are happening<br />
and being planned for<br />
the future.’’<br />
Community board<br />
chairwoman Alexandra Davids<br />
said there is increasing demand<br />
for native plants to assist in<br />
the regeneration of the former<br />
red zone, and to meet the<br />
Government’s aspirations for<br />
the planting of one billion<br />
trees.<br />
“They came<br />
to us asking<br />
for permission<br />
to lease an<br />
additional<br />
3000 sq m of<br />
Charlesworth<br />
Alexandra<br />
Davids<br />
Reserve and the<br />
board has agreed<br />
to that request,”<br />
she said.<br />
Trees for Canterbury not only<br />
helps with regeneration efforts<br />
across the region, but it also<br />
provides work opportunities<br />
for disadvantaged people in<br />
communities.<br />
Said Davids: “It does very<br />
worthwhile work and we view<br />
the expansion of its nursery<br />
as a positive move as it means<br />
it will be able to provide more<br />
tree seedlings to schools and<br />
community groups that are<br />
working to enhance their local<br />
environment.”<br />

Fight for community centre rebuild continues<br />
• By Tina Grumball<br />
TEN YEARS on, the residents of<br />
Shirley are still fighting to have<br />
their community centre rebuilt.<br />
The Shirley Rd centre was<br />
damaged in the February 22,<br />
2011, earthquake, and demolished<br />
soon after.<br />
Joanne Byrne, spokeswoman<br />
for the 10 Shirley Road group,<br />
said the centre had been “absolutely<br />
thriving before the<br />
earthquakes.”<br />
Residents had been forced to<br />
use Shirley Library as a makeshift<br />
centre, but this was not a<br />
permanent solution.<br />
“We don’t have the space in<br />
our current library. It’s outdated,<br />
it’s not fit for the purpose anymore,”<br />
Byrne said.<br />
Byrne said an influx in infill<br />
housing and populating in<br />
Shirley would mean a higher<br />
demand for community centres.<br />
‘“It’s time for an overview of<br />
the facilities in our area.”<br />
Shirley Road Central chairwoman<br />
Jennifer Dalziel said<br />
young people were among the<br />
most affected, with holiday and<br />
after-school programmes not<br />
able to function at full capacity.<br />
Dalziel said that young people<br />
are often found playing in the<br />
car park of The Palms shopping<br />
centre instead.<br />
CAMPAIGN: Joanne Byrne, spokeswoman for the 10 Shirley Road group, has been fighting<br />
the city council to have the suburb’s community centre rebuilt. PHOTO: TINA GRUMBALL <br />
She said parents wanted<br />
their youth to be “going out<br />
to a holiday programme” and<br />
“connecting with other people,”<br />
rather than “sitting around on<br />
PlayStations,” or playing in the<br />
car park.<br />
“People have lost the ability<br />
to get out and socialise with<br />
people.”<br />
A petition started three years<br />
ago, by the Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board to fight the council<br />
on funding has been signed<br />
by 1200 people so far.<br />
Advocates for Shirley, Byrne<br />
and Dalziel presented the petition<br />
to the city council in May,<br />
during Long-Term Plan submissions.<br />
Byrne and Dalziel also brought<br />
along letters of support from<br />
Christchurch East MP Poto Williams,<br />
and Christchurch Central<br />
MP Dr Duncan Webb.<br />
There was “originally money<br />
put aside for a research study,”<br />
Byrne said, “but that disappeared<br />
after the plan and there<br />
was absolutely nothing.<br />
“We’re starting from scratch.”<br />
The city council has not<br />
decided on the next Long Term<br />
Plan yet, but the advocates<br />
are hoping and “really, really<br />
praying” their submission will go<br />
through.<br />
Looking at other community<br />
centres that have been built since<br />
the earthquakes, they are hoping<br />
for $5 million to $10 million.<br />
Said Byrne: “It’s time to move<br />
forward now. We need to build<br />
for the next 50 years.”<br />

Six tips to get the most efficiency<br />
out of your heat pump<br />
Make sure it’s clean<br />
A clean heat pump filter will help your<br />
heat pump run more effectively and<br />
efficiently.<br />
Give your filter a good clean as we head<br />
into the cold season, and ideally clean your<br />
filters once a month during winter.<br />
Know your temperatures<br />
Set your heat pump temperature to 18<br />
deg C or above to help fight damp and<br />
mould, and below 21 deg C to save on<br />
power.<br />
Heat where you eat/sleep, play<br />
Heat pumps use the most energy<br />
when they’re getting a room up to a set<br />
temperature. Heat the rooms you use<br />
most often.<br />
Close the doors to unused rooms<br />
to avoid heating unrequired space (ie<br />
spare bedrooms etc).<br />
Don’t run your heat pump<br />
constantly<br />
A lot of people believe that keeping a<br />
heat pump running 24/7 is an efficient,<br />
cost-effective way to heat their home.<br />
Doing this will use more energy than<br />
only using it as required.<br />
Fixed Price.<br />
Full Service.<br />
Guaranteed<br />
Quality.<br />
Now,<br />

Use your timer<br />
Set your timer to turn on just before you<br />
get home from work and/or before you<br />
wake.<br />
Set or turn off when you leave for the<br />
day and before retiring to another room.<br />
Avoid an expensive mistake<br />
If you are looking to buy a heat pump,<br />

Prepare your<br />
home for winter<br />
Minimise your heat loss<br />
Insulation<br />
Without insulation, approx. 30-35%<br />
of the heat loss occurs through the roof,<br />
20-30% through windows, and 20-25%<br />
through walls. The floor and air leakage<br />
make up the balance.<br />
Drafts<br />
Seal up any unused openings such as cat<br />
doors and open fireplaces.<br />
Use draft stopping tape around windows<br />
and tape, door ‘sausages or a rolled-up<br />
towel for doors.<br />
Double glaze windows, there is a wide<br />
range of DIY Window insulation kits that<br />
are both effective and economical.<br />
Downlight fittings<br />
Some modern LED downlights have<br />
insulation fitted over them, instead of<br />
leaving a gap for fire prevention.<br />
Super-efficient LEDs use less energy<br />
and can save lighting costs. Ask a lighting<br />
specialist or registered electrician for<br />
advice.<br />
Simple steps to reduce dampness<br />
Air your home regularly<br />
Open doors and windows for 10-15<br />
minutes each morning or use a ventilation<br />
system.<br />
Use energy efficient, low<br />
emissions heaters<br />
Heat rooms being used to at least 18˚C.<br />
Don’t use unflued or portable gas heaters.<br />
Use extractor fans<br />
They can help to get rid of moisture in<br />
the bathroom and laundry and use a fan or<br />
rangehood in the kitchen.<br />
Use lids on pots when you cook<br />
This helps to stop the steam escaping.<br />
Turn on the fan before a shower<br />
or bath<br />
Shut the bathroom door and open the<br />
window slightly. Afterwards, leave the fan<br />
running until the moisture clears.<br />
Move furniture away from walls in<br />
winter<br />
A 10cm gap discourages mould<br />
(especially on external walls).<br />
Dry washing outside<br />
Use a washing line or rack in the garage<br />
or a under covered area.<br />
Leave wardrobes slightly open<br />
A little air circulation discourages mould<br />
growing on fabric.<br />
Buy — sell — reside with<br />
peace of mind<br />
Any property, old or new, can have<br />
hidden problems. It is important to know<br />
the true condition of your current, or<br />
potential property.<br />
An AA House Check report can provide<br />
you with the confidence to buy or sell with<br />
no surprises.<br />
Property examinations provide detailed<br />
room by room inspections, including<br />
roof cavity, insulation, flooring, electrical,<br />
plumbing, drainage, hot water systems,<br />
roofing, decks, paths and driveways,<br />
garages, asbestos identification and more.<br />
A BOINZ accredited building surveyor<br />
can also carry out moisture checks,<br />
residential foundation inspections,<br />
earthquake damage repair assessments and<br />
methamphetamine testing.<br />

RD Petroleum<br />
this winter<br />
Junior pupils at Queenspark School<br />
took a break from the classroom and<br />
participated in the first perceptual motor<br />
programme session of the year.<br />
THe pupils had fun leaping, crawling<br />
and jumping to complete activities<br />
designed to help children develop their<br />
fine motor skills.<br />
It creates an opportunity for children<br />
to explore their untapped potential with<br />
the use of colour, music, food, games and<br />
hands-on activities.<br />
RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />
for farm and rural residents around the<br />
Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />
residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />
customer service for which RDP is known for<br />
in rural communities, through their home<br />
heating diesel.<br />
RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />
service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />
centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />
and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />
Customer demand has continued to increase<br />
year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />
with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />
equipment.<br />
The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />
diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />
the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />
means they have the latest communication<br />
and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />
the operations team always know where they<br />
are and how far away they are from their next<br />
delivery stop.<br />
RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />
equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />
through which the diesel is pumped from<br />
the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />
the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />
without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />
damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />
go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />
to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />
you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />
become eligible for value-added benefits.<br />

Get the balance<br />
right this winter<br />
Enviro Master has been helping<br />
Cantabrians get the balance right when it<br />
comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or<br />
air conditioning system for their home or<br />
office since 2002.<br />
Their team of expert sales people, qualified<br />
electricians, heating and refrigeration<br />
engineers, help to supply and install<br />
Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps,<br />
and because they have no affiliation with any<br />
one brand, you can be assured their advice<br />
on the benefits and differences between each<br />
product is unbiased.<br />
They will recommend the most energyefficient<br />
and cost-effective system for your<br />
individual situation, and will have you<br />
regulating the heat in your home or office in<br />
no time.<br />
Nowadays, customers are often wanting<br />
whole home solutions to be able to maintain<br />
even temperatures throughout the home both<br />
in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved<br />
by using ducted systems or multi systems<br />
and Enviro Master are experts in designing,<br />
installing and commissioning these systems.<br />
Help is currently available with a<br />
government subsidy covering 80 per cent of<br />
the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000.<br />
The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi<br />
Homes initiative and is available to Home<br />
owner/occupiers with a Community Services<br />
Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in<br />
a low-income area as determined by deciles<br />
8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index.<br />
The applicant’s home must also have been<br />
built before 2008, have insulation up to code<br />
(insulation subsidies also available) and have<br />
no fixed heating in a living area, such as an<br />
existing operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />
With new regulations coming in for<br />
Landlords to provide heating in rentals,<br />
now is a great time to beat the deadline.<br />
Inadequate heating and ventilation can lead<br />
to mould growth and dampness in your<br />
property, leading to costlier maintenance<br />
and an unhealthy living environment.<br />
Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat<br />
output and lower running costs, like a heat<br />
pump, will enable your tenants to heat the<br />
area effectively. Enviro Master are well<br />
experienced with the Tenancy Services<br />
software to ensure that you are meeting your<br />
requirements.<br />
To ensure you choose the right system for<br />
your home or business, one of Enviro Master’s<br />
experts will visit to assess your individual<br />
situation, offer advice and answer any<br />
questions you may have. This consultation<br />
is at no cost to the customer and is always<br />
provided before a heat pump is installed.<br />
Anyone wondering about their eligibility<br />
for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to<br />
get in touch for details and help with the<br />
application process. To find out more, call<br />
Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit<br />
their website www.enviromaster.co.nz.<br />
What makes a great<br />
Heat Transfer System?<br />
There are a number of Heat Transfer<br />
systems on the market. Smooth-Air<br />
ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU<br />
Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected<br />
components to optimise the system:<br />
They use insulated duct to transfer the<br />
heated air with as little heat loss as possible.<br />
The fan moves sufficient air for the distance<br />
and number of rooms, without being noisy.<br />
The diffusers send the heat to the floor, not to<br />
skim the across the ceilings. All components<br />
are good quality - designed to operate for<br />
years without problems.<br />
Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of<br />
options: One to four rooms, with or without<br />
thermostat and with a choice of grilles and<br />
diffusers. HTUs improve energy efficiency<br />
in your house, as you are using excess<br />
heat. They have low power consumption<br />
- only 80watts for the three room system.<br />
Circulating air through the house also<br />
reduces the risk of damp.<br />
You can also choose the HTU version with<br />
downjet diffusers, which throw the warm<br />
air downwards to the floor. These downjet<br />
diffusers can also be adjusted to regulate<br />
which room receives the most warm air.<br />
An average size living room requires 2-4 kw<br />
of heating, yet appliances such as log burners<br />
generate heat in the region of 10 -20kw. This<br />
leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of heat which<br />
sits at high level in the heated room, usually<br />
above door level.<br />
Heat transfer units work best where very<br />
hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the<br />
ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate warm<br />
air around the room with no layering, are<br />
not suitable as a heat source by themselves.<br />
However, if you have both log burner and<br />
a heat pump, heat transfer systems with<br />
thermostat can work very well: The heat<br />
pump stops operating once the heat from the<br />
fire has heated the room, and the heat transfer<br />
kicks in above this point, once there is a layer<br />
of hot air at the ceiling.<br />

Use garlic and onions to jazz up roast<br />
Sunday roasts are<br />
a traditional Kiwi<br />
favourite. Try adding<br />
some powerful flavours<br />
for a change that<br />
should please the<br />
whole family<br />
Roast beef with garlic and<br />
onions<br />
Ingredients<br />
1.5kg rolled roast beef<br />
2 medium onions<br />
2 carrots<br />
2 sticks celery<br />
1 bulb of garlic<br />
1 bunch of mixed fresh herbs ,<br />
such as thyme, rosemary, bay,<br />
sage<br />
olive oil<br />
Directions<br />
roasting tray and drizzle with oil.<br />
Drizzle the beef with oil and<br />
season well with sea salt and<br />
black pepper, then rub all over<br />
the meat. Place the beef on top of<br />
the vegetables.<br />
Place the tray in the oven,<br />
then turn the heat down<br />
immediately to 200 deg C<br />
and cook for 1 hour for<br />
medium beef. If you prefer it<br />
medium-rare, take it out five to<br />
10min earlier. For well done,<br />
leave it in for another 10<br />
to 15min.<br />
If you’re doing roast potatoes<br />
and veges, this is the time to<br />
crack on with them – get them<br />
into the oven for the last 45min<br />
of cooking.<br />
cooking and if the veges look dry,<br />
add a splash of water to the tray<br />
to stop them from burning.<br />
When the beef is cooked<br />
to your liking, take the tray out of<br />
the oven and transfer the beef to<br />
a board to rest for 15min. Cover<br />
it with a layer of tin foil and a tea<br />
towel and leave<br />
aside while you make your<br />
gravy, horseradish sauce and<br />
yorkshire puddings.<br />
Remove the beef from the<br />
fridge 30min before you want to<br />
cook it, to let it come up to room<br />
temperature.<br />
Preheat the oven to 240 deg C.<br />
Baked chicken breasts<br />
Wash and roughly chop the<br />
vegetables – there’s no need<br />
Ingredients<br />
to peel them. Break the garlic<br />
bulb<br />
260<br />
into cloves, leaving them<br />
x 180<br />
4 tablespoons olive oil<br />
unpeeled.<br />
3 tablespoons honey<br />
Pile all the veges, garlic and<br />
2 tablespoons whole grain<br />
herbs into the middle of a large Baste the beef halfway through mustard<br />
1 tablespoon smooth and mild<br />
Dijon mustard<br />
4 cloves garlic, peeled and<br />
minced<br />
1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon<br />
juice<br />
1/2 teaspoon paprika<br />
2 pounds (1 kg) boneless skinless<br />
chicken breasts, (4 large<br />
chicken breasts)<br />
Salt and cracked black pepper,<br />
to season<br />
2 tablespoons fresh chopped<br />
parsley, to garnish (optional)<br />
Lemon wedges, to serve<br />
(optional)<br />
Directions<br />
Onions roast<br />
up well in<br />
the oven<br />
with beef,<br />
don’t forget<br />
to garnish<br />
with herbs<br />
before<br />
serving<br />
Preheat oven to 200 deg C.<br />
Lightly grease a baking tray/<br />
sheet with oil and line with foil or<br />
parchment paper.<br />
Combine the oil, honey,<br />
mustards, garlic, lemon juice<br />
and paprika in a small bowl to<br />
combine well.<br />
Place the chicken onto the<br />
prepared baking sheet (tray).<br />
Season generously with salt and<br />
pepper. Spoon three-quarters<br />
of the honey mustard mixture<br />
evenly over the chicken and<br />
spread evenly all over each<br />
breast. Pour a quarter of a cup of<br />
water onto the baking sheet to<br />
prevent burning, creating a sauce<br />
while baking.<br />
Bake until cooked through<br />
(about 20-30min, depending<br />
on the thickness of the breasts).<br />
Spoon the remaining sauce over<br />
each breast and broil (or grill) for<br />
a further three-to-four minutes<br />
on medium-high heat to brown<br />
the chicken and caramelise the<br />
edges.<br />
Cover with foil and allow to<br />
rest for 10min to let the juices<br />
settle before serving.<br />
Garnish with parsley and serve<br />
immediately with lemon wedges.<br />
Notes<br />
To include roasted asparagus,<br />
arrange them onto the same<br />
baking sheet around the chicken<br />
in the last 10 minutes of cooking<br />
time. Rotate them in the pan<br />
juices or pan sauce and season<br />
with salt and pepper.<br />
