RESIDENTS OF a Bryndwr 

rest home were treated to a 

morning of nostalgia last week 

when The Vintage Car Club 

paid them a roaring visit. 

The Canterbury branch of 

The Vintage Car Club visited 

Radius Hawthorne following 

requests by residents to see the 

1970 Holden Kingswood HT 

owned by the rest home’s diversional 

assistant Bill Parker. 

Ian Crew, 81, of The Vintage 

Car Club, liaised with the 

rest home’s staff to organise a 

display – something the club 

did often at other retirement 

villages. But this particular 

visit was a personal one for Mr 

Crew. 

“The day my older brother 

died there in February, I was 

introduced to Bill, the rest 

home’s physiotherapist by 

my nephew as we were all car 

people. Hence why the idea for 

the visit was hatched,” said Mr 

Crew. 

Radius Hawthorne regional 

manager Joanne Young said 

these types of events can help 

those in aged care combat 

loneliness and isolation.

Residents 

fear work 

has started 

on social 

housing site 


THE GUILD St social housing 

saga continues as residents fear 

works on the site have started 

ahead of the city council’s 

decision on the proposal. 

The Christchurch Methodist 

Mission intends to place housing 

used for temporary accommodation 

after the earthquakes in the 

Richmond street for families in 

need. 

In a twist to the ongoing saga 

electrical work started last week, 

two days before a city council 

hearings panel sat to consider 

whether to approve the plan. 

Residents surrounding the site 

were upset about the lack of consultation 

and strongly believed the 

proposal breached multiple rules 

set by the city council’s district 

plan. 

Last Wednesday, a city council 

hearings panel considered the 

plan at a public meeting and are 

yet to decide on whether it should 

be publicly notified and if developments 

can go ahead. 

Nearby resident Allan Bateman 

has lived near the site for 20 years 

and said: “Connetics was doing 

work towards connecting power 

to the site – one of the workers 

confirmed this. •Turn to page 5

Stepping out to support children in hospital 


“EVEN WHEN she was sick, 

she was still full of life and had 

plenty of time for others until 

the day she passed away.” 

Northcote mother Victoria 

Hamilton will always remember 

her daughter’s love for making 

others laugh during her short, 

eight years of life. 

In October 2019 her daughter 

Keira died after nearly nine 

years of fighting methylmalonic 

acidemia, a disorder in which 

the body is unable to break down 

proteins. As a result, a build-up 

of acid in the blood can result in 

kidney disease, nausea, developmental 

delays and many other 

painful symptoms. 

Said Ms Hamilton: “She had a 

kind heart. She enjoyed dancing, 

listening to music, watching 

movies and loved to laugh. 

“I learned a lot from Keira over 

the years, I got to meet some incredible 

families and she’s given 

me lifelong friends.” 

Keira was one of only three 

children with MMA in New 

Zealand. 

Another Canterbury family, 

Chloe O’Connor and her sevenyear-old 

son James, who also has 

MMA, were being supported 

by Ronald McDonald House

friends ever since and the kids 

had a beautiful friendship.

Bonded by the rare disorder, 

Ms Hamilton and Ms O’Connor

times only the other could 

understand.

Challenge, an initiative run by the 

RMHC which challenges New 

Zealanders to walk, run, bike 

or swim at least 210km during 

March – the equivalent to 10,000 

steps a day. 

Every month, NZ families travel 

an average of 210km for their 

child to receive hospital treatment 

away from home. By taking up 

the challenge, participants will 

raise $210 to support families 

with a hospitalised child. 

Said Ms Hamilton: “As a team, 

we’ll be putting our kilometres 

together and once a week we’ll 

go for a walk somewhere. 

“Our last walk this month will 

involve a few hills as both of us 

spent time at Auckland RMH 

and the walk to the hospital was 

not a flat one.” 

In 2019 alone the RMH 

provided free accommodation, 

emotional support and weekly 

necessities to more than 4600 

families. 

Ms O’Connor said MMA was 

often an invisible illness and 

encouraged people to take the 

necessary health precautions 

when they’re sick. 

“Even when our kids look well, 

they’re still at risk of everyday 

illnesses.” 

Ms Hamilton and her family 

continue to remain positive, 

advising others in similar situations 

to make the most of today. 

“Let the tears flow when 

you need to but try not to lose 

the smiles even when it feels 

impossible.”

NOR’WEST PROPERTY UPDATE 

As local as Elephant Park 

Local Ray White franchise owners, 

husband and wife team Barry and Karen 

Ellis, clearly demonstrate what hard 

work and sound values can achieve. They 

are certainly not your typical real estate 

cliché, in fact you could say they are an 

example of the Kiwi way of getting things 

done. 

In less than four years they have established 

two successful Ray White franchises 

– Bishopdale in September 2016 and 

Strowan in April 2018, with many years’ 

experience in the industry creating the 

foundation for their venture. 

Karen gained her real estate licence 

in January 2008, after discovering her 

passion for property through buying and 

renovating their own investment portfolio. 

Barry gained his real estate licence in 

2009 and assisted Karen with her real estate 

work in the evenings and weekends, 

while she also pursued her other passion, 

coaching netball. He joined Karen fulltime 

in 2014. 

Two years later they decided to launch 

their own business, opening the new Ray 

White Bishopdale office on September 5, 

just four weeks after leaving their previous 

company. 

“It was an empty shell, so we had to 

set it up and learn all the new systems,” 

Karen says. “We wanted to get going so 

we didn’t procrastinate.” 

There had been previous real estate 

offices at Bishopdale, but many had since 

closed, Barry says. “We started Bishopdale 

as a new franchise from scratch, and 

since then we’ve continued to grow.” 

In April 2018, Barry and Karen acquired 

Ray White Strowan, and like Bishopdale 

it has also flourished. In between time, 

they had also set up a property management 

business from scratch in July 2017, 

which runs from both offices. 

“We’ve had a lot of private landlords 

come to us to take over their property,” 

Barry says. “With increased regulations 

like healthy homes, many landlords are 

handing the responsibility to us, and 

usually we can take it over with minimal 

added costs – after all, it’s our job to 

maximise their retirement freedom generated 

from their Canterbury investment 

properties.” 

The relationships Barry and Karen develop 

with their clients is the key factor, 

both before and after a sale. 

“We believe in doing the right thing for 

our clients,” Barry says. “We genuinely 

want to help people move forward. We 

offer market advice, so they can make 

informed decisions, and if we don’t think 

it is the right time to sell their property, 

we’ll tell them. 

“We often give advice to home owners 

on what renovations will or won’t add 

value. Often we’re also simply conducting 

appraisals for clients’ properties 

throughout their ownership so they can 

stay up to date with their market value. 

A partnership in every way: 

Barry and Karen Ellis at Bishopdale’s Elephant Park. 

Even though they might not be wanting 

to sell for another three to four years 

we’re always happy to provide advice and 

support. 

“Our promise is to provide a lifetime 

partnership for our clients’ home ownership 

journey, no matter what stage they’re 

at.” 

They help many first-home buyers, and 

have the advantage of an in-house mortgage 

broker from their sister company 

Loan Market. 

Karen also has a reputation as a problem 

solver, Barry says, especially when 

EQC issues arise. “It might seem complicated 

to the property owner, but Karen 

steps in and makes it simple.” 

Being connected to the community is 

important for Barry and Karen, too, and 

they value the reciprocal support from 

the Nor’west community. 

“We exist to proactively add value to 

our community, and the way we deliver 

on this is through real estate. It’s this 

ethos that drives our entire business,” 

Barry says. 

He is on the committee at the Papanui 

Club and Karen is involved with netball 

in Belfast. They also support schools and 

community organisations in the Nor’west 

area and are strong supporters of Ronald 

McDonald house and Canterbury Rugby. 

For them, it is about working alongside 

people in all aspects of life, a philosophy 

that has brought not just business success, 

but great personal satisfaction too.

Mission meeting housing needs 

•From page 1 

“There’s now a large power 

cable attached to the power pole 

by the entrance. If the housing 

project has yet to be permitted, 

why would this work be necessary?” 

According to CMM’s executive 

director, Jill Hawkey, the units 

would be used as social housing 

for families who had severe and 

persistent housing needs. 

“We want to create a great 

place to raise kids in a supportive 

community environment, 

surrounded by beautiful gardens 

and plenty of space to run 

around,” she said. 

According to Mrs Hawkey, the 

units did not have to meet the 

same building standards as the 

permanent houses in the area. 

Neighbouring residents felt 

the city council had double 

standards. Many houses in the 

region were built in the early 

20th-century, therefore houses 

must be consistent with the 

building style. 

Said Mr Bateman: “Given this 

housing is within Character 

Area 14, I’m sure the surrounding 

residents could expect the 

same conditions and restrictions 

applied to this development as 

were required when their homes 

were rebuilt post-earthquake.” 

However, a resident who did

St site, is asking why works have started prior to the city 

council’s decision on the social housing proposal.

not want to be named in fear of 

community backlash supports 

the development. 

“I’m disappointed with the 

community. The stigma that 

comes with social housing is 

sad, and they’ve already been 

judged by them,” the resident 

said. 

“They think house values will 

plummet. They’re scared for 

their children and they’re acting 

like nimbys. We desperately 

need social housing, it’s 

unacceptable for children to be 

housed in motels. 

“The mission is doing something 

for the community, so why 

not Richmond? It’s a great place 

for everyone to live.” 

Nor’West News asked 

Connetics for comment but 

it failed to respond before 

deadline. 

Classic cars take residents 

down memory lane 

• From page 1 

“It’s very important as so many 

residents in aged care facilities can 

feel isolated and lonely. They feel 

a sense of purpose and we like to 

get the surrounding community 

involved as well,” she said. 

“Today, we’ve had residents 

helping with the barbecue and 

handing out sausages which all 

contributes to their well-being 

both physically and mentally.” 

When people with dementia or 

Alzheimers are able to view things 

from their past, it helped lift their 

mood and general well-being. 

Said Ms Young: “When a 

person shares something about 

their past and another person 

shows interest or enjoyment, it’s 

a wonderful opportunity for that 

person to feel they’re the one who 

is giving something to another 

human being, rather than always 

being the one who’s listening or 

receiving.” 

Mr Crew and other car club 

members were always happy to 

discuss old memories with residents 

when they would visit. 

“I have found most elderly 

people can remember being in a 

car like that with their dad, or the 

neighbour would have one.”

In Brief 

SPEED LIMIT CHANGES 

Speed limit changes have been 

implemented for roads in 

Edgeware, Mairehau and St 

Albans. Most roads involved 

have changed to a 40km/h 

speed limit, with a number of 

new 30km/h areas. The changes 

aim to deter motorists coming 

off the Christchurch Northern 

Corridor on Cranford St from 

short-cutting through residential 

streets in the area. Check the city 

council website to see all roads 

affected. 

ST ALBANS SEWER WORKS 

After a one-week delay, sewer 

renewals on Forfar St have 

commenced. This is due to the 

existing sewers reaching the end 

of their life therefore upgrades 

were required. On-road parking 

will not be possible during 

the works. The renewals are 

expected to be completed by late 

March/early April this year. 

SHIRLEY LIBRARY CLOSURE 

Shirley Library on Marshland Rd 

will be closed for refurbishment 

on Sunday, March 22 at 4pm and 

is scheduled to reopen on April 

30. The service desk, however, 

will be closed from Friday, 

March 20. A temporary Shirley 

service desk will open within The

Fundraisers for Lachie’s cancer battle 

• By Jess Gibson 

“AS A result of this most 

unwanted experience, you get to 

see the very best in people.” 

This is Huntsbury mother 

Kelly Sharpe’s reaction to the 

support her family has received 

as her 12-year-old son, Lachie 

Sutherland, battles neuroblastoma 

for a second time. 

So far, about $26,000 has been 

raised towards an $80,000 goal to 

afford self-funded MIGD therapy 

in Sydney, which Lachie is scheduled 

to receive later this month. 

The treatment delivers targeted 

radiation to the rare type of cancer 

which develops in infants and 

young children. 

With a number of fundraisers 

to go Mrs Sharpe is “very optimistic” 

the target will be met. 

An auction and comedy night 

with live music on March 14 at The 

Tannery’s Cassels Blue Smoke is 

the next event, and Mrs Sharpe is 

hoping to sell 350 tickets. 

Following that, there will be a 

quiz night, karma keg night and 

a Hoyts movie screening. 

Before his MIGD therapy, Lachie 

has spent the past five months 

undergoing eight rounds of 

chemotherapy and seven cycles of 

immunotherapy and radiation. 

He relapsed with neuroblastoma 

in August after showing 

no evidence of the disease since 

2013.

It was 2012 when Lachie was 

diagnosed for the first time. 

He flew to Sydney, aged four, to 

receive MIGD therapy and was 

there for his fifth birthday. 

His last treatment fell around 

the same time as his father, Chris 

Sutherland, died from metastatic 

melanoma after having been 

diagnosed the month before. 

But six years on, Lachie was 

embracing life. 

About to embark on his final 

year of primary school and excitedly 

considering high school 

options. 

Relapse was the last thing on 

anyone’s mind. 

Said Mrs Sharpe: “I think 

everyone was surprised when 

the results came back showing a 

relapse.

heartbroken and quickly catapulted 

back into a world we never

It was made harder by the fact 

Mrs Sharpe had lost her mother 

to cancer early last year. 

But in finding a silver lining, 

she said she has been “really 

fortunate to have the support of 

so many wonderful people. 

“I think we all struggle to 

rationalise why a child should 

have to experience cancer, so 

when they do, it seems to be 

something that calls people to 

action. They want to help, to 

make a difference and ease his 

suffering.”

Intersection lights 

could take six years 

THE highly-anticipated traffic 

lights at the Harewood- 

Gardiners-Breens intersection 

will be at least six years away from 

completion. 

The city council decided last 

week at the finance and performance 

committee meeting that 

the lights are to be installed as 

part of the Wheels to Wings 

major cycle route which will run 

from Papanui to Christchurch 

International Airport. 

The decision allows subsidy 

from the New Zealand Transport 

Agency, estimating to cost $1.2 

million. 

The city council previously recommended 

work towards the cycleway 

was to be brought forward 

from between 2026 and 2028 to 

2021, but the vote was lost after an 

eight-all tie. 

Harewood Ward city councillor 

Aaron Keown has been pushing 

for the lights since 2016 and 

along with city councillor Sam 

MacDonald, preferred the lights 

to be constructed as a stand-alone 

project which would mean the 

works would start earlier. 

Said Cr Sam MacDonald: “All 

we’re doing is pushing traffic lights 

further and further away from 

a community that wants them. 

We’ve done all the consultation 

work and we’re no better off today 

than we were two years ago.”

POLICE HAVE been taking 

part in armed training exercises 

at Shirley Boys’ High School’s 

old site. 

The exercise at the vacant 

school grounds on North Pde, 

Shirley, took place from 8am to 

5pm and from Thursday until 

Saturday last week. 

Said a police spokesperson: 

“Our teams undertake this type 

of tactical training regularly 

across the country to ensure 

they have opportunities to 

practise their skills, and remain 

prepared for live incident responses. 

“This training has been 

planned for some months and 

[was] undertaken in Canterbury 

due to availability of buildings. 

“Members of the public may 

have heard breaking glass and 

some loud bangs coming from 

the venue.’’ 

Police reassured residents 

there was no cause for alarm. 

Nga Puna Wai

A PROPOSAL to lease land at 

Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub for a

council. 

People can have their say on 

the lease proposal through the

council’s website. The deadline for 

submissions is April 6. 

There will be a drop-in session 

where people can learn more

Former Football Fern coaching Western 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THE MAINLAND Premier 

League started on Saturday 

and former New Zealand 

international defender Kelly 

Almond-Jarden became the first 

ever woman head coach in the 

competition. 

Almond-Jarden, 46, is coaching 

Western AFC’s first-team as 

they began their MPL campaign 

against Coastal Spirit on Saturday. 

She is also believed to be the 

first female to hold a head coach 

role at a premier club throughout 

any of the federations in New 

Zealand. 

After returning to Christchurch 

last year from 10 years of living 

and coaching in Perth, Almond- 

Jarden admits she was shocked 

when asked if she would be 

interested in coaching the club’s 

MPL side. 

Western were left searching for 

a new coach after Robbie Stanton 

departed to take the assistant 

coach role at Christchurch 

United under Danny Halligan. 

Coming into the role Almond- 

Jarden’s biggest concerns were 

around being able to earn the 

respect of her players. Although 

the club’s first-team has experienced 

the exodus of more than 

half a dozen of the key players who 

helped the side to a fourth placed 

finish in last year’s league, she says 

those who have chosen to remain 

at the club are buying in. 

“That was my biggest concern. 

Are the guys going to respect me 

and are they going to leave the 

club because they’ve got a woman 

coach,” Almond-Jarden said. 

“I’m sure that’s not the reason, 

but the ones that have stuck 

at the club, they don’t have a 

problem. They just want to play 

football and be competitive. I’m 

really passionate about coaching 

them because they’re excited 

to play and they’re buying into 

what I want to do in terms of 

how we want to set up as a structure.” 

Almond-Jarden earned 13 caps 

for New Zealand between 1997 

and 2003. 

She was then a player coach 

for Western’s premier women’s 

team for three seasons in the late 

2000s. The side won the Mainland 

league and also became the 

PIONEER: Former Football Ferns 

defender Kelly Almond-Jarden played 

13 times for New Zealand. She has now 

become the first ever female head coach 

in the Mainland Premier League. 

first South Island club to make 

the final of the Kate Sheppard 

Cup in 2008. 

Almond-Jarden acknowledges 

that she could be seen as a pioneer 

for other top woman coaches 

coaching at a high level of the 

men’s game in New Zealand. 

However, her ambitions are 

purely to help Western achieve 

the best possible result this year. 

“I don’t want to be known as 

the first woman to coach. I just 

want to be known as a good 

coach,” Almond-Jarden said. 

In pre-season Western had 

wins over FC Twenty 3-1, FC 

Twenty reserves 6-1, and a 0-4 

loss to Nomads. 

“Against Nomads we went out 

and tried to play the gameplan 

they played last year, and we just 

don’t have the personnel to do 

that, so we have to change our 

tact this year on how we come 

at teams because we’re definitely 

not the same team. We don’t 

have the player capability to play 

the high press game that Robbie 

Stanton played last year,” 

After the loss of some of their 

key players, many have Western 

tipped to be a club battling to 

avoid relegation this season. 

Almond-Jarden admits it’s going 

to be a tough season, but is confident 

the team has enough about 

them to stay in the league. 

“That will be our first goal – to 

stay in the MPL. We want to be 

competitive and I think the boys 

have a lot of belief that we’re still 

competitive. They’re motivated 

and there is a core group that have 

stuck together . . . so we won’t be 

going down without a fight. 

Defending champions 

Cashmere Technical are once 

again expected to be favourites. 

Many eyes will be on whether 

newly promoted and talent-rich 

Christchurch United can become 

title contenders. 

Wynands amazed at netball selection 

• By Jacob Page 

VILLA MARIA netball player 

Julia Wynands admits even she is 

surprised by her latest selection. 

The 17-year-old, who lives 

in Huntsbury, is the only high 

school player in the Mainland 

Beko League team for the upcoming 

season. 

The year 13 student said it was 

an unexpected achievement to 

SPORT 

start her year. 

“I trialled with the team back 

in October and made it through 

and I’ve been training with them 

since but to find out I made the 

team was still a shock. 

“It’s not something I expected 

to achieve this year. 

“When I look back and realise 

how far I’ve come since I first 

started playing in year 3, it’s 

quite amazing.” 

The goal defence/wing 

attack was an integral 

part of the Villa Maria 

team which finished 

third at the South Island 

secondary school title 

last September and finished 

14th at nationals a 

month later. 

She said she has tried 

to increase her fitness 

levels ahead of her final school 

year and she hoped this would 

help her ease her into the next 

step of her fledgling career, 

The Beko League is seen as 

Julia Wynands 

a feeder competition 

for the ANZ Premiership 

and the Mainland 

Tactix. 

“At Villa we play 

against women in the 

Christchurch premier 

2 competition so that 

will help me make the 

adjustment but obviously 

the standard will 

be much higher than what I am 

used to,” she said. 

Wynands said she was keen to 

study psychology next year while 

continuing to play netball and 

she wanted to do it wearing red 

and black. 

“I’ve always loved the Mainland 

environment and wearing 

the red and black throughout the 

age-groups so I hope that can 

continue. 

Her big goal was to play for the 

Silver Ferns one day. 

• The Netball Mainland 

Beko team will play its first 

National Netball League 

match against Northern 

Comets on Sunday April 5.

Is it just me, is it the times, 

is it the world or have I 

just been so busy I haven’t 

noticed how some of the 

deeply personal and simple 

practices of life are being 

overlooked? 

During a year in which we are prioritizing 

wellbeing and resilience in our company, 

I want to raise a flag for those that feel 

forgotten. 

It all starts with a greeting. Getting in the way, 

of course, is screen time, phone addiction and 

just an absence of plain, old-fashioned good 

manners; we’re often so distracted we simply 

don’t recognize or notice other people. 

I recently read about – and have witnessed 

personally – the following: whole 

‘conversations’ undertaken during a service/ 

purchasing exchange where no words were 

even spoken, gestures making do whilst the 

purchaser stayed on the cell phone talking 

loudly. They could have been served by a 

robot, and maybe one day they will be, for all 

the humanity that occurred. 

Whether serving or being served, people 

matter. Invisibility when you are employed 

Why 

Greetings 

Still Matter 

or engaged to do something matters. 

And if service and client experience count 

for anything, then communication and 

connection sit at the top of the must-do 

list. I expect everyone I work with and for 

to communicate their requirements. I can’t 

guess them, even though I sometimes try. 

Real estate is a service industry with a great 

deal of emotion and money at stake. The best 

in the industry are hardwired to connect in 

an empathetic and knowledgeable way. Not 

communicating is not acceptable, and I’m not 

even referring to response times. I’m meaning 

response, full-stop. Of all the feedback we 

get from clients, lack of communication sits 

at the very top of the list when it comes to 

unwelcome issues. 

Where we start is as important as where we 

end, so greet people properly – greet when 

you meet, eyes direct, hands out (obviously 

pre-Coronavirus) and smiling. You will stand 

out, I can assure you, and if you are looking 

for a realtor and they don’t do this well, keep 

looking.

Tasty Bites 

Divine date night delights 

• By Ian Knott 

These delicious date 

night dishes are bound to 

impress your significant 

other - or better still, 

spend some quality time 

preparing and cooking 

them together 

Seared scallops with bacon 

and zucchini noodles 

Serves 2 

Ingredients 

3 slices bacon 

6 jumbo scallops 

2 zucchinis made into noodles 

½ large lemon, juiced (1½ Tbsp) 

1 tsp lemon zest 

1 cups chopped tomatoes 

1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped 

Salt and pepper to taste 

Directions 

Place a large, heavy skillet 

(cast iron will be best for searing 

scallops) over medium heat, 

add bacon and cook for 3-5min 

on each side or until crispy but 

not burnt (it will add a different 

texture to the dish). Remove 

bacon and transfer to a plate lined 

with paper towel. Crumble or 

roughly chop after it’s cool. 

Leave bacon fat in the skillet 

and remove skillet from heat 

(about 2-3min) to cool slightly. 

Pat scallops dry. Right before 

cooking, season scallops with 

salt & pepper. Do it any sooner, 

and the salt will draw out their 

moisture, making them wet again, 

and thus preventing that delicious 

caramelisation. 

Gently, add scallops one at a 

time to heated skillet. Add about 

1 Tbsp butter to pan only if you 

don’t have enough bacon fat left. 

Scallops cook quickly and if 

they’re overcooked, they will 

become rubbery. Once they are 

deeply golden brown, with a 

caramelised exterior (2-3min 

max), flip them only once when 

they’re nicely browned. Once 

browned on both sides, remove 

them to a plate. 

Add zucchini noodles to the 

same skillet and season with salt 

& pepper. Let zucchini noodles 

cook for about 1min, flipping and 

stirring frequently. As the noodles 

cook, add in the lemon juice and 

zest. Also, toss in tomatoes and 

crumbled bacon. Continue to 

cook for about 2-3min. 

Divide zucchini noodles onto 

four plates, top with scallops and 

garnish with fresh chopped 

parsley. Enjoy! 

Espresso 

brownies 

Ingredients 

1 egg at room 

temperature 

¼ cup + 2 Tbsp 

coconut oil 

½ cup espresso or 

strong brewed coffee 

⅔ cup of sugar 

¼ cup + 1 Tbsp coconut flour 

¼ cup cocoa powder 

3 Tbsp instant coffee 

2 tsp vanilla essence 

¼ tsp sea salt 

3 tsp cornflour or arrowroot 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 180 deg C and 

prepare an 20cm square baking 

pan by lining it with a sheet of 

aluminum foil, leaving overhang on 

the sides to allow for easy removal. 

Grease the foil and set aside. 

Combine all ingredients in a 

mixing bowl using an electric 

mixer and add to baking pan. You 

can also just mix by hand. 

Bake for about 25-30min until 

center is set. Allow brownies 

to cool for about 20min before 

cutting.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 


Tyres, rims and even 

great coffee 

Word of mouth is the best 

recommendation for any business, 

and there is a raft of customers happy 

to recommend JCM Direct Tyres in 

Middleton. The independent, family-owned 

and operated business supplies tyres, mags 

and rims and it is clear from their feedback 

that they provide ‘outstanding customer 

service,’ ‘really know what they are doing,’ 

and even provide ‘tasty coffee.’ 

Reviews like these are hard-won, with 

the emphasis being on making sure they go 

the extra mile to really meet the needs of 

the client. As an independent dealer, they 

are not tied to a specific brand. Instead, 

they will look at your vehicle, your budget 

and your driving style to provide you with 

what you need instead of what the franchise 

wants you to have. This can be brand 

new tyres such as Pirelli, Continental, GT 

Radial, Toyo and Nankang, or high end, 

almost-new second hand tyres in mint 

condition, often the same brand names as 

the new options. The JCM team wants to 

know their customers are leaving them with 

their vehicles, from caravans to utes, that 

are safe on the roads. 

They will give you their honest opinion 

and expertise about what you need too. 

It could be more cost effective in the long 

run to spend a little more a quality tyre and 

reduce the risk of punctures on the Garden 

City’s rebuild roads, and if you do have a 

puncture, they can repair it quickly and 

efficiently. 

It is not only tyres – they supply rims 

from the 1930s to the present day. If you 

are lucky enough to own a classic vehicle, 

you will know how difficult it can be to find 

authentic parts, and the JCM team will help 

you source what you need. 

They also provide alloy wheels, spare 

wheels plus wheel and tyre combo packages 

to make their excellent products even more 

affordable. They are even able to help you 

with finance options. 

Open six days a week, you can find 

them at 8c Birmingham Drive on the 

corner with Hands Road. Check them 

out on Facebook.com/JCMDirect, or visit 

JCMDirect.co.nz to see what their family 

can do to help your family.

REAL ESTATE 

Rural tranquility city convenience 

81 Downies Road, Halswell 

Auction: Thursday 26th March 2020 (Unless Sold Prior) 

5 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 2 living rooms | 3 car garage | 6 off-street carparks | Listing number: BE193479 

For those who dream of the good 

life with the benefits of modern 

conveniences this ideally located 

property is just the answer! 

Located on the rural fringe of the 

city you are only 15 minutes from the 

city centre and literally just a short 

drive from the local shopping, primary 

school, community centre in Longhurst. 

The main house features a large 

open plan living room along with 

three double bedrooms. The master 

bedroom is truly luxurious with a walkin 

wardrobe that you can lose yourself 

in plus an ensuite that is spacious and 

designed to pamper. 

Smartwood joinery for windows and 

doors, with low E and argon gas and 

lovely jarrah floors complement this 

beautiful home.. 

Details such as fully tiled showers 

and underfloor heating add to your 

enjoyment. Even the garage is fully 

insulated, double glazed and has 

underfloor heating in the workshop 

area. An opportunity to perhaps convert 

part of the triple garage into another 

room should this be needed. 

The two-bedroom cottage was built 

in 2015 and this is ideal for extended 

family - close by but still having their 

own privacy and garden views. Both 

properties have a log-burner installed 

for the winter months. 

Extensive planting has been done, 

with two orchards just coming in to 

be harvested soon. Large trees provide 

shelter belts and a tiled entertainment 

area for barbecues with family and 

friends completes the picture.

RAY WHITE PAPANUI NEWS 

Growth Leads 

to Office Move 

After moving into their brand new premises at 7 

Winston Avenue last year Ray White Papanui has 

gone from strength to strength. The customised work 

environment adapts to high performing salespeople 

and has the ability to interact with an ever-changing 

environment, including educational and meeting areas. 

Claire Morris, Shareholder of Morris & Co Papanui, 

said that she was thrilled with the new office. She 

said, “Our premise enables our team to have a multipurpose 

environment that welcomes customers and 

clients together with landlords and tenants.” Further 

to residential sales Ray White Papanui also offers 

property management services for our clients and 

financial services through Loan Market.”

Latest Rental Reforms Progressing 

to the Select Committee 

Latest statistics show that there are 609,700 households 

living in rental homes which is around 32% of the 

population. The Government says that they are trying to 

get the balance right, modernising laws and correcting 

problems in a way that is proportionate and places 

reasonable requirements on landlords and tenants, 

providing both parties with certainty. 

Are they really proportionate and reasonable is the 

current topic of debate. The proposed changes include, 

allowing the Tenancy Tribunal to keep identifying 

details of parties in claims anonymous where a party 

has been wholly or substantially successful in taking 

a case, removing the ability to end a period tenancy 

for ‘no reason’ (there will be specified reasons only), 

an automatic rollover from a fixed term tenancy to a 

periodic (unless otherwise agreed), allowing tenants 

to fix minor (and removable) fixtures and fittings, disallowing 

solicitation of rental bids, increasing allowed 

rent increase periods from 6 to 12 months, increasing 

the fines and allowing the Tenancy Tribunal to take 

direct action against parties who are not meeting their 

obligations. 

Some of this could certainly change the face of renting 

in New Zealand, however the risk of some of these 

reforms is that by removing a landlords ‘choice’ we 

could experience a lot of landlords deciding to sell their 

investment properties, which unfortunately would 

undoubtedly result in a shortage of rentals throughout 

the country. 

Many people, both landlords and tenants, have strong 

opinions around these reforms and I recommend having 

your say through the Select Committee. As I find out 

more I will be posting on our Facebook page, Ray White 

Morris & Co Property Management, if this is of interest 

to you I encourage you to follow us.
