Cover story

Lovely home and income.

11 Rakaia Barrhill Methven Road, Rakaia The homestead of St Ita’s is nestled on 4644sqm of land on the immediate Rakaia west town boundary. This elegant, historic homestead has been superbly restored and upgraded over the years by Ken and Miriam Cutforth and is well renowned as a very hospitable B&B and guest house.

Originally the school and convent, housing nuns, adjoined St Ita's Catholic Church, it has a colourful history and no doubt holds many stories in it's heart.

The refurbishment has seen retention of much of the character of the original construction, with aged earthy timbers throughout and in particular, embellishing the large, spacious living area. Now reconstructed, it has four guest bedrooms - three with ensuites, plus a private, two bedroom, second story flat developed by the owners and which has

panoramic view. The latter is fully serviced and private.

Either as a home or continuing as a B&B/guest house, the property is within easy walking distance to the local shops and cafes but more importantly, takes in the benefits of the wider Mid Canterbury and Rakaia areas being close to golf, salmon fishing, river jet boating, snow skiing and the gateway to the Mid Canterbury Hills.

Mark Lemon The election is now well and truly consigned to history and for most of us it is thank goodness for that.

We saw a month hijacked like no other we have experienced before.

While this was going on a colleague said “never underestimate the common sense of the man in the street.” Election night was proof of that.

Spring has sprung, or nearly. Our mixed bag of weather has produced

a dry calving and production levels by and large ahead of normal. The recent spring showers, with a bit more sun, will help the grass and crops to grow and delay the start of widespread irrigation for a few more days.

Although the election brought no changes there are still major issues floating around that cloud the picture on where farm values will go this season.

The next phase of Environment Canterbury's Land and Water plan in our area is upon us with submissions now open on the Hinds Plains Plan (Variation 2 of the Land and Water Plan).

The knowledge of nutrient loss issues has taken a quantum leap forward in the last year. Overseer modelling is still inexact but the causes of variability are being more understood.

This uncertainty can affect prices and can also be quite farm specific.

Overseer calculations and baseline data information are requirements all purchasers now expect to be available.

In a relatively quiet early spring market a couple of sales have held firm on last seasons price levels but market price of dairy farms has yet to be tested at the lower

P.A.

%

forecast payout levels. Variability in farm returns is nothing new to us.

Dairying is down, beef on a cyclical high and lamb and crop returns remain steady at this time.

Is our market full of strategic purchasers? The strength of the Mid Canterbury market bewilders many outside this district. But here we are blessed with land use change opportunities others can only dream of.

Will we soon see a dairy farm, say with older infrastructure, quality soils and in a particular location, now move to another land use? Where we are now is not where we will be in 20 or 30 years time. History tells us dairying is not the end of the game, we will go through further transitions in land use.

It is this eye to the future that helps maintain demand for farms in our district. The ability for land use change helps the financial strength of this area. This is why it is important to keep an eye on the Environment Canterbury regulators and that while dealing with today's issues they don’t close options for the future. To limit opportunities for a farm in the future because of how it is now farmed, compared to its neighbour with a different current land use, is nuts.

Smoke alarms electrical balance of the air. The alarm will sound when the change in the electrical balance reaches a certain level.

Photoelectric alarms have a sensing chamber which uses a beam of light and a light sensor.

Smoke particles entering the chamber change the amount of light that reaches the sensor, and the alarm sounds when the smoke density reaches a preset level.

By Shane Woods Insideout Property Services

The recent start of daylight saving serves as an ideal reminder to change the batteries in your smoke alarms and check any you do have are working.

Each year the New Zealand Fire Service attends over 3500 house fires and in 80 per cent of the fatal fires they attend smoke alarms are either not installed or not working.

A working smoke alarm is the best way to make sure you and your family have the best chance to get out alive.

It is better to install both types of alarms or a combination alarm (ionization and photoelectric) in your home.

The New Zealand Fire Service recommends households install photoelectric smoke alarms as they provide more effective allround detection, alarm in all types of fire scenarios and are more likely to alert occupants in time to escape safely.

Ionisation alarms monitor the ions, or electrically charged particles.

Each type of alarm has different advantages. Home fatal fires, day or night, include a large number of smouldering fires and a large number or flaming fires. You can not predict the type of fire you may have in your home or when it will occur. Any smoke alarm technology must perform for both types of fires in order to provide early warning day or night and whether you are asleep or awake.

Smoke particles enter the sensing chamber, changing the

For the best protection, it is better to install both types of

And adding smoke alarms is not only the ideal DIY job, it is also a good idea if you are thinking of selling your home.

There are two main types of smoke alarms – ionization and photoelectric.

Woodsy checks a smoke alarm is in working order. Daylight saving is a timely reminder to check your alarms.

Ionisation alarms are cheaper and generally more responsive to flaming fires where photoelectric alarms are more responsive to fires that smoulder for a long period of time and reduce nuisance alarms by cooking or steam.

Home maintenance

alarms or a combination alarm (ionization and photoelectric) in your home.

In my opinion landlords and homeowners should take responsibility for the safety of the home’s occupants the same way a driver of a car does with seatbelts, and as a minimum install smoke alarms in hallways no less the three metres from a bedroom door to alert anybody sleeping.

There is a lot of conflicting information as to where it is best to install alarms, but let’s face it, chances are if there is a fire during the day and you are awake you have more chance of noticing a fire than if you are sleeping at night. So install where everyone in the house can be awakened by the sound of a smoke alarm.

Ideally install alarms in all bedrooms and outside every sleeping area on every level of the home.

Smoke rises so install smoke alarms following the manufacturer’s instructions high on a wall (four to 12 inches) away from the ceiling, or ideally a ceiling

at least four inches away from the wall.

If you have ceilings that are

alarms. Paint, stickers or other decorations could keep the alarms from working.

Hard-wired smoke alarms operate on your household power.

They can be interconnected so that every alarm sounds regardless of the fire’s location. This is an advantage in early warning, because it gives you extra time to escape if you are in one part of the house and a fire breaks out in another part.

Have a fire escape plan. Be aware sleeping children don’t always wake when a smoke alarm activates. pitched, install the alarm near the ceiling’s highest point.

Try avoiding cooking and bathroom areas due to steam and try to avoid log fires. If you are bent on installing in or near these areas consider alarms with hush buttons to reduce the sensitivity for a short period of time, which is surely better than removing the batteries.

Don’t install smoke alarms near windows, doors or ducts where draughts might interfere with their operation and never paint smoke

alarm. If someone doesn’t wake up when the alarm sounds during a drill, the family should design an escape plan that assigns an adult who is easily awakened to wake the sleepers, perhaps by yelling ‘FIRE’, pounding on the wall of door, or blowing a whistle.

Alarms that are hard-wired should have battery back-ups in case of a power outage, and should be installed by a qualified electrician.

If you sleep with bedroom doors closed, have your electrician install interconnected smoke alarms in each room so that when one alarm sounds, they all sound.

Have a fire escape plan. Be aware sleeping children don’t always wake when a smoke alarm activates.

Every home fire escape plan is different, and every family should know who will – and who won’t – awaken at the sound of the smoke

Gardening

October is a good time to... beet are all fast growing and easy to maintain. If you’re a bit more experienced, grow summer veges and herbs like carrots, beans, peas, lettuce, courgettes, basil and tomatoes.

Or add colour to your garden by planting flowers like impatiens, lobelia and petunias – just about anything you like.

Once they’re planted, water regularly and add mulch in dry areas.

It’s also a good time to sprinkle a good general fertiliser, such as nitrophoska blue, on your lawns and garden beds. If you put it on your lawn make sure it’s about to rain so that it dissolves into the soil.

Tod Palenski Awapuni Nurseries

... plant whatever your heart desires!

If you’re a novice gardener it’s the perfect time to start your own vege patch. Vegetables like lettuce, courgette, cucumber, spinach and silver or rainbow

The birds around your area might be a bit hungry at the moment before the grass really starts to grow, so keep an eye out and put a bit of bird netting over your vege garden to protect your crops.

And if you haven’t planted your dwarf beans yet, you’ve still got time!

Muddy Good Run - October 19

What's

on in our

community

Sunday, October 19 The greatest fun run in Mid Canterbury - suitable for all ages and fitness with a 5k and 10k option.

This event will see you crawl under obstacles, climb over obstacles, crawl through mud pits and jump over others (or try to at least!) Mud, water and heaps of fun! Oh, did we mention at the end of the run there is a giant slip and slide and water bins to get through?

After the run, you may want to enter the newest event to make its mark with us, the “Wife Carrying” a 200 metre race where husband carries wife - bound to be a laugh!

Or, if you would prefer, kick back in the sun and be entertained by the lovely Cassie Henderson, grab some lunch from the vendors on site before prize giving.

Don’t forget to make the effort to dress yourself and your team up - the Ashburton Guardian best dressed competition will be held before the race commences (before your costume gets covered in mud and you all look the same).

This is a great family day out and is always a bunch of laughs.
