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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Developed in partnership<br />

with Auckland University of<br />

Technology, the virtual reality<br />

into how the 23 men of Sir<br />

Ed’s team lived and worked in<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 />

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 />

Zealand; advice on where to find them, how to harvest them and how best to use them;<br />

and over 60 delicious food recipes as well as more than 30 recipes for medicine, natural<br />

trove of information about our wild plants.<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 />

time. Get out of your comfort zone and learn from your mistakes. Navigate adversity in a positive<br />

way. Find your team. Use your voice and stand.<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 />

FIELD OF VICTORY: Campbell<br />

siblings (from left) Josh, Bodhi<br />

and Lily, were each awarded<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 />

that’s hot.<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 />

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 />

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 />

“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 />

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 />

SOUTHERN VIEW<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 />
