TWENTY FOUR cabbage trees<br />
deliberately poisoned on the<br />
Christchurch Coastal Pathway<br />
three years ago will be replaced<br />
on Sunday after a successful<br />
community fundraising<br />
campaign.<br />
Page 3<br />
The trees were planted along<br />
the causeway section of the<br />
pathway but were found dying<br />
in 2018 after being intentionally<br />
poisoned.<br />
St Martins resident and<br />
cabbage tree fan Oliver Lewis<br />
(above) said he was “stoked” at<br />
the level of community<br />
support after a Givealittle page<br />
he set up to buy replacement<br />
trees exceeded the fundraising<br />
goal of $633.60 in just four<br />
hours.<br />

Green<br />
fire break<br />
taking<br />
shape<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
A COMMUNITY initiative is<br />
replanting native trees to protect<br />
their homes from future fires on<br />
the Port Hills.<br />
A large vegetation fire in<br />
January decimated Drayton<br />
Reserve, a gully between Mt<br />
Pleasant and<br />
Redcliffs. The<br />
fire threatened<br />
houses and<br />
about 500 sq<br />
m of trees and<br />
shrubs were<br />
destroyed.<br />
Six firefighting<br />
crews and<br />
Dave Bryce<br />
two helicopters were involved in<br />
extinguishing the blaze, which<br />
was contained after about three<br />
hours. Now, after just five weeks<br />
of planting, members of the<br />
Drayton Reserve Volunteers<br />
group have almost reached<br />
halfway in their project to create<br />
a green fire break in the reserve.<br />
“This is a major local<br />
biodiversity project, but also,<br />
with the climate changing,<br />
very dry summers will be<br />
more common, and the risk of<br />
fires will be higher,” group coordinator<br />
Dave Bryce said.<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 />
residents gave feedback on<br />
the city council’s draft Long<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 />
than whether they were able<br />
to influence council’s decision<br />
to the individually preferred<br />
outcome.”<br />
In contrast to the city council<br />
services residents are most concerned<br />
with, there are many they<br />
are happy with.<br />
Of those surveyed, 100 per cent<br />
are satisfied with education programmes<br />
in Christchurch, 98 per<br />
cent are happy with the Botanic<br />
Gardens and Mona Vale, 95 per<br />
cent with libraries, 97 per cent<br />
with walk-in customer service<br />
and 92 per cent with customer<br />
service over the phone.<br />
Overall satisfaction with city<br />
council services is sitting at 49<br />
per cent – a slight decrease from<br />
50 per cent last year.<br />

Cabbage<br />
trees to be<br />
replanted in<br />
working bee<br />
•From page 1<br />
Lewis said he was “delighted”<br />
Dalziel and Templeton had<br />
thrown their weight behind the<br />
campaign.<br />
Templeton said the level of<br />
public support was heartening<br />
and remains hopeful the<br />
community funding and<br />
‘sponsorship’ of trees would<br />
show the poisoner that the trees<br />
were loved by many.<br />
“I personally think that they’re<br />
beautiful trees and I’m really<br />
hopeful the community buy-in<br />
and involvement in funding and<br />
planting them will stop anyone<br />
trying something like that<br />
again,” she said.<br />
Lewis had “zero sympathy”<br />
for the poisoner.<br />
“It was a petty and disgraceful<br />
thing to kill trees in the public<br />
domain.”<br />
The 24 replacement cabbage<br />
trees will mean the original<br />
planting design along the<br />
causeway will be restored.<br />
A working bee to<br />
reinstate the trees along<br />
Main Rd and plant several<br />
hundred other natives<br />

Helping protect homes from fire<br />
•From page 1<br />
The project involves planting<br />
800 low flammable native<br />
species for the first 10m below<br />
residential properties to create<br />
the fire break.<br />
“Creating a fire break along<br />
the reserve’s boundary has been<br />
a priority to establish and give<br />
protection to neighbouring<br />
properties,” said Bryce.<br />
He said the residents of the<br />
houses closest to the reserve are<br />
helping out themselves.<br />
“This is a community biodiversity<br />
area.<br />
“We want to get the surrounding<br />
community engaged with the<br />
reserve and looking after it.”<br />
There are about 200 current<br />
members of Drayton Reserve<br />
volunteers.<br />
The group started in April<br />
2016. Their aim is to work with<br />
the city council to return the<br />
reserve to its original forest cover<br />
for conservation, recreation and<br />
educational purposes.<br />
Bryce said the original forest<br />
in the valley was wiped out for<br />
farming and grazing.<br />
They now hope to restore the<br />
nine different ecosystems that<br />
exist there, including an aquatic<br />
ecosystem in the stream that<br />
runs through the reserve.<br />
Some of their other work<br />
includes improving streambed<br />

SCOTT BASE’S oldest building<br />
in Antarctica, a hut built by a<br />
Sir Edmund Hillary-led team,<br />
visited St Martins School this<br />
week, but in virtual reality form.<br />
Antarctic Heritage Trust’s<br />
roadshow has been visiting<br />
classes since Monday, with the<br />
final leg under way today.<br />
Developed in partnership<br />
with Auckland University of<br />
Technology, the virtual reality<br />
experience allows users to<br />
explore Sir Edmund Hillary’s hut<br />
in Antarctica.<br />
The experience provides insight<br />
into how the 23 men of Sir<br />
Ed’s team lived and worked in<br />
the world’s most extreme environment<br />
more than 60 years ago.<br />
The trust’s general manager<br />

people to learn more about<br />
Antarctica and the nation’s most<br />

history of Antarctic exploration<br />
and we are excited to bring this<br />
experience to as many students<br />
around New Zealand as we can,”<br />
she said.<br />

How Stella Learned to Talk<br />
by Christina Hunge<br />
An incredible, revolutionary true story and surprisingly simple guide to teaching your dog to talk from<br />
speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger, who taught her dog, Stella, to communicate using simple<br />
paw-sized buttons associated with different words. When speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger first<br />
came home with her puppy, Stella, it didn’t take long for her to start drawing connections between her job<br />
and her new pet. During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development<br />
and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. At night,<br />
she wondered: If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn’t they be able to say words to us?<br />
Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans? Christina decided to put this to the test with Stella and<br />
started using a paw-sized button, programmed with her voice to say the word ‘outside’ when clicked,<br />
whenever she took Stella out of the house.<br />
Stella now has a bank of more than thirty word buttons, and uses them either individually or together<br />
to create near-complete sentences. How Stella Learned to Talk is part memoir and part how-to guide. It<br />
chronicles the journey Christina and Stella have taken together from the day they met to the day Stella<br />
‘spoke’ her first word, and the other breakthroughs they’ve had since. It also reveals the techniques Christina<br />
used to teach Stella, broken down into simple stages and actionable steps any dog owner can use to<br />
start communicating with their pets.<br />
My Amy<br />
by Tyler James<br />
Written with a searing honesty and published for the tenth anniversary of Amy Winehouse’s death, My<br />
Amy is an evocative portrait of unbreakable lifelong friendship – and a devastating study into fame,<br />
addiction and self-sabotage.<br />
Only one person knows what really happened to Amy, other than Amy herself. He is Tyler James, Amy’s<br />
best friend from the age of thirteen. They met at stage school as two insecure outsiders, formed an<br />
instant connection and lived together from their late teenage years right up until the day she died, aged<br />
just twenty-seven.<br />
Tyler was there by her side through it all. From their carefree early years touring together to the creation<br />
of the multiple Grammy-winning Back To Black, which she wrote on their kitchen floor. From her volatile<br />
marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil through her escalating addictions, self-harm and eating disorders as the<br />
toxic nature of fame warped Amy’s reality. For the last three years of her life, Tyler was with her every day<br />
when she’d beaten drugs and was close to beating alcoholism too. He also knew better than anyone the<br />
real Amy Winehouse who the tabloid-reading public rarely saw – the hilarious, uncompromising forceof-nature<br />
busy taking care of everyone else.<br />
We all think we know what happened to Amy Winehouse, but we don’t. This definitive insider’s story<br />
tells us all, finally, the truth.<br />

Bob Dylan - No Direction Home<br />
by robert Shelton, foreword & afterword by elizabeth Thomson<br />
Robert Shelton met Bob Dylan when the young singer arrived in New York in 1961. He became<br />
Dylan’s friend, champion, and critic. His book, first published in 1986, was hailed as the definitive<br />
unauthorized biography of this moody, passionate genius. Shelton tells the intimate and first-hand story<br />
of Bob Dylan’s formative years in Greenwich Village NYC, and it is the only biography that has been<br />
written with his active cooperation.<br />
Dylan gave Shelton access to his parents, Abe and Beatty Zimmerman – whom no other journalist has ever<br />
interviewed; to his brother, David; to childhood friends from Hibbing; to fellow students and friends from<br />
Minneapolis; and to Suze Rotolo, the muse immortalized on the cover of Freewheelin’ , among others.<br />
Concluding Dylan’s story backstage during his triumphant 1978 world tour, No Direction Home took<br />
20 years to complete and when it was finally published the book received widespread critical acclaim.<br />
Following his Nobel Prize for Literature Award in 2016, Dylan’s standing is higher than at any time<br />
since the 1960s and Shelton’s book is now seen as a classic. This new illustrated edition, published<br />
in the year of Dylan’s 80th birthday, includes key images of Dylan throughout his incredible, enduring<br />
career, making it a must for all Dylan fans.<br />

Siblings show<br />
how it’s done on<br />
the sports fields<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
THE SPORTING success of<br />
Cashmere siblings on Saturday is<br />
proving that good things come in<br />
threes.<br />
Campbell siblings Lily, 11,<br />
Bodhi, 12, and Josh, <strong>17</strong>, each<br />
won player of the day in their<br />
respective matches.<br />
Their father Mark Campbell<br />
said Josh’s game was the last of the<br />
day.<br />
“We were joking: ‘Wouldn’t it be<br />
funny if he got player of the day?’<br />
and he did.”<br />
He was not surprised that<br />
each of the three won the award<br />
individually.<br />
“They’re all super hardworking<br />
and right into it. They’ll always be<br />
contenders.”<br />
However, he was surprised they<br />
all received the award on the same<br />
day, which had never happened<br />
before.<br />
Watching the successful day of<br />
sports felt “pretty good”, he said.<br />
His children had plenty of drive.<br />
“They’re very self motivated.<br />
Most kids get carted [to sports<br />
games] by their parents.”<br />
Lily was the first to take the<br />
award on the day, playing centre<br />
for Cashmere Netball Club’s J<br />
team.<br />
“She’s not very big, but she’s<br />
fast and nippy like an Energizer<br />
bunny.”<br />
Bodhi followed suit as centre<br />
defender in his football game for<br />
Cashmere Technical 12th grade<br />
gold.<br />
“He’s a very skilful player. He<br />
takes responsibility for shutting<br />
down other attacks.”<br />
They then watched Josh play<br />
centre back for the club’s <strong>17</strong>th<br />
grade blue, and it was clear he was<br />
also playing a strong game.<br />
“[He] scored a thundering low<br />
knuckleball left-footed half volley<br />
from 18m. He is right-footed and<br />
has taught himself mastery of his<br />
left foot.”<br />
The element his children had in<br />
common was the ability to play a<br />
strong defence, he said.<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 />

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 />
Serving Canterbury homeowners,<br />
landlords and prospective home buyers for<br />
over 15 years AA House Checks have your<br />
house inspection needs covered.<br />
Retrofit Insulation<br />
Specialists<br />
Retrofitting insulation in your ceiling,<br />
walls and underfloor will make your home<br />
warmer, healthier and more energy efficient.<br />

Author shortlisted<br />
for another award<br />
GAVIN BISHOP has<br />
been shortlisted for New<br />
Zealand book awards<br />
more times than any other<br />
author across the country.<br />
The Cashmere picture<br />
book author and artist has<br />
published 70 titles locally<br />
and abroad that have won<br />
numerous awards and are<br />
translated into 12 different<br />
languages.<br />
Now he can add another<br />
nomination under his belt<br />
having made the shortlist<br />
for the Wright Family<br />
Foundation Te Kura Pounamu<br />
Award at the New<br />
Zealand Book Awards<br />
for Children and Young<br />
Adults for Mihi, his latest<br />
work.<br />
The finalists for this<br />
award are for books written<br />
entirely in te reo Māori.<br />
Mihi introduces concepts<br />
of whānau and place in the<br />
world – the starting point<br />
for everyone learning te<br />
reo Māori. The book’s simplicity<br />
makes learning the<br />
language more accessible.<br />
The book shows the special<br />
places and people with<br />
whom readers can identify,<br />
both at home and in the<br />
community, providing a<br />
solid foundation for learning<br />
te reo in the future.<br />
The repetition of colours<br />
and shapes show connections<br />
between waka,<br />
mountain and iwi, through<br />
to mama, papa and the<br />
baby reader.<br />
A mihi, or pepeha, is a<br />
way for people to introduce<br />
themselves that often goes<br />
beyond one’s name in te<br />
reo Māori, expressing<br />
links to the land, one’s<br />
spiritual home and sense of<br />
purpose.<br />
Of 166 entries nationwide,<br />
Bishop is one of 28<br />
finalists in the running<br />
for an award across six<br />
categories.<br />
FINALIST: Children’s<br />

illustrator Gavin Bishop<br />
has made the shortlist<br />
at the New Zealand<br />
Book Awards for<br />
Children and Young<br />
Adults. PHOTO: MARTI<br />
FRIEDLANDER <br />
“The diversity of ideas<br />
in this year’s entries really<br />
stood out,” said convener<br />
of judges Alan Dingley.<br />
“It’s clear that our authors<br />
truly credit kids and<br />
young people with having<br />
the emotional intelligence<br />
to deal with complex<br />
themes, issues and feelings.”<br />
Whether that’s celebrating<br />
Māori culture<br />
or dealing with the injustices<br />
of inequality, seeing<br />
a reflection of their own<br />
small-town community or<br />
exploring body image, disability<br />
and adversity – no<br />
topic was off-limits.<br />
But big ideas are delivered<br />
in a way that also<br />
entertains, Dingley said.<br />
Bishop was made an<br />
Officer of the New Zealand<br />
Order of Merit for services<br />
to children’s literature in<br />
2013.<br />
He has been writing<br />
and illustrating books left,<br />
right and centre since 1981.<br />
Iconic titles include Taming<br />
the Sun: four Māori<br />
Myths, Mrs McGinty and<br />
the Bizarre Plant, Aotearoa:<br />
The New Zealand Story and<br />
many more.<br />
His accolades previously<br />
include Margaret<br />
Mahy Book of the<br />
Year Award, the Prime<br />
Minister’s Award for<br />
Literary Achievement,<br />
the Mallinson Rendel<br />
Illustrators Award and the<br />
Margaret Mahy Medal<br />
for Services to Children’s<br />
Literature.<br />

RD Petroleum<br />
this winter<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 />

HOME & HEATING<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 />
