Study into<br />

alcohol<br />

ban for<br />

Woolston<br />

under way<br />

• By Natalie Pham<br />

AN ALCOHOL ban for Woolston<br />

is being investigated.<br />

City council staff have started<br />

to collect information from<br />

police and council officers working<br />

in the area as a first step to<br />

determine whether a ban can be<br />

implemented.<br />

Photographic evidence of<br />

alcohol-related incidents in the<br />

area and a petition signed by<br />

residents were also included.<br />

This came after the city council<br />

decided to investigate a liquor ban<br />

after concerns about an increase<br />

in anti-social behaviour because<br />

of people consuming alcohol on<br />

the street.<br />

The investigation will take from<br />

one to two months. If there is sufficient<br />

evidence, staff will write a<br />

report recommending the council<br />

consider bringing in a temporary<br />

alcohol ban. However, the report<br />

will be delayed due to October’s<br />

local body elections.<br />

Under the Local Government<br />

Acts 2002, councils can impose<br />

a liquor ban in areas where ‘a<br />

high level of crime or disorder’<br />

has worsened through alcohol<br />

consumption.<br />

If the temporary ban appears to<br />

address the problems, the council<br />

will consult the community about<br />

imposing a permanent one.<br />

Edgeware has been my home since I was<br />

a teenager, and whilst I have lived in other<br />

areas of New Zealand, my heart has always<br />

been here. I have a strong all-round business<br />

background which includes business mentoring,<br />

to produce results. My son and I are both<br />

particularly enthusiastic about health and fitness<br />

and we both are involved in the swimming<br />

community. My Core Values are Respect,<br />

Integrity, Community, Harmony.<br />

In my view a practical approach is critical for<br />

smooth-running of community services along<br />

with a functional approach to providing multimodal<br />

transport infrastructure that integrates<br />

well together. Effective communication is<br />

needed between local residents and their<br />

council to achieve the best results for the<br />

community.<br />

I am a supporter of keeping things LOCAL –<br />

retaining jobs here by making decisions that<br />

align and support that.<br />

I encourage local resident participation by<br />

actively listening to and prioritising their views<br />

quality.<br />

Innes community needs to have a strong local<br />

voice and I wish to be your voice...<br />

Buses ‘woefully lacking’ in Dallington<br />

• By Natalie Pham<br />

DALLINGTON residents are<br />

asking for more bus options to<br />

combat social isolation.<br />

“Woefully lacking” is how<br />

Dallington Community Trust<br />

chairman David Collins<br />

described the<br />

available bus<br />

services.<br />

There are<br />

currently no buses<br />

going into the area<br />

after 9.25pm or out<br />

after 7.52pm, with<br />

David<br />

Collins<br />

the exception of<br />

Sundays when they<br />

run at 8.<strong>22</strong>pm and<br />

6.50pm respectively.<br />

The loss of the Orbiter bus<br />

after the 2011 earthquake also<br />

means residents have to wait<br />

30-minutes on weekdays and an<br />

hour on weekends to go to The<br />

Palms.<br />

“Restoring the Orbiter bus<br />

service through Dallington<br />

would help decrease the level of<br />

social isolation,” said Collins.<br />

He sent a letter to the Waitai<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board last week to raise<br />

awareness about the challenges<br />

facing residents.<br />

Said Collins: “There is not so<br />

much things to do in Dallington<br />

anymore. So elderly are feeling<br />

isolated as there is nothing to do<br />

and buses are limited.”<br />

With limited options for<br />

recreational activities, he said<br />

a group of young people had<br />

turned to vandalism and graffiti.<br />

Many stores have had their<br />

windows smashed or scratched,<br />

Collins said.<br />

The community craft shop<br />

on McBratneys Rd has also had<br />

multiple failed break-in attempts.<br />

Said Collins: “We’re lucky that<br />

we have a great graffiti team that<br />

will quickly come out and help<br />

with repainting the wall.”<br />

The team, which started out<br />

in 2008, is part of a city council<br />

initiative to reduce graffiti.<br />

However, the clean up team does<br />

not cover scratched or broken<br />

glass. To bring the community<br />

together, the trust has held many<br />

events over the past few years,<br />

including Christmas hunts and<br />

street barbecues.<br />

About 75 children participated<br />

in its Christmas event last year.<br />

NO RIDE: Dallington residents want the Orbiter bus service<br />

through the suburb restored. Below – There has been an<br />

increase in graffiti and tagging in the community.<br />

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think Dallingtion<br />

needs more buses? Email your views to<br />

natalie.pham@starmedia.kiwi<br />

The trustees also fund events<br />

that are not covered by grants.<br />

“It’s been getting difficult due<br />

to the reduction in funding. But<br />

we’re not the only organisation<br />

(which) suffers from that,”<br />

Collins said.<br />

He said the other main reason<br />

for the letter was to thank the<br />

community board for its support<br />

and funding of the craft store.<br />

However, it was also a<br />

reminder that the community is<br />

still here and “still have a need”.<br />

Environment Canterbury has<br />

not responded to questions from<br />

the <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> as to whether<br />

Orbiter bus services through<br />

Dallington will be restored in<br />

the future.<br />

Celeste<br />

Donovan<br />

Councillor for<br />

the Coastal Ward<br />

About me<br />

I am a coastal resident of Christchurch, born and raised, I<br />

love this city and especially our coastal communities.<br />

As a middle child in a bunch of 5 kids, I learned at an early<br />

age, how to strongly advocate for what was important to me.<br />

I have honed those early skills with a Masters’ degree in<br />

international relations and honours in politics and law, and<br />

through work in government.<br />

What is most important to me now, is standing up strong for our<br />

coastal communities as your elected councillor. I feel privileged every<br />

day to represent such a vibrant part of our city.<br />

Kia ora, I’m Celeste Donovan, Councillor for the<br />

Coastal Ward.<br />

Last year you elected me as your Councillor, and I hit the<br />

ground running. I have made strong strides already, and I<br />

seek your vote in the October election because there is a lot<br />

more that I want to achieve for you.<br />

What I have achieved so far<br />

Since my election last year, I have focused on bridging the<br />

gap between Council and our communities by establishing:<br />

• live streaming for Community Board meetings,<br />

• a community advisory group for the wastewater plant<br />

issues<br />

• an Engagement Working Group.<br />

I have got businesses and community groups the<br />

funding they need:<br />

• secured funding for a community centre in Parklands to<br />

help rebuild what was lost after the earthquakes.<br />

• helped coordinate a business support package for those<br />

impacted by Covid<br />

• supported progress on key urban regeneration projects,<br />

such as the New Brighton mall.<br />

What I plan to achieve if re-elected<br />

As an independent, I will prioritise the needs of the city, and<br />

as my actions show, I will advocate for you at the Council<br />

table. My priority goals for the coming term are:<br />

1. Action on climate change. I will help ensure<br />

our communities are at the forefront of decisionmaking<br />

to prepare for climate impacts, and ready to<br />

seize opportunities that arise from investment and<br />

development of a more climate-resilient city.<br />

2. Community engagement and empowering<br />

local decision making. I will work to establish a<br />

citizens’ panel, move our electoral system to Single<br />

Transferable Vote (STV) and have councillors elected<br />

at large across community board areas. I will seek to<br />

empower residents and community boards to equitably<br />

participate in local decision-making and climate<br />

adaptation planning.<br />

3. Developing our local communities and a more<br />

sustainable city<br />

I will work ensure support for local businesses, better<br />

public transport and urban planning and reconnecting<br />

people with their local areas so they can easily live,<br />

work, and play close to home.<br />

‘An alcohol ban is a very blunt tool’<br />

• From page 1<br />

Said Woolston resident Paul<br />

McMahon: “I’m glad that the<br />

council accepted there is enough<br />

evidence and now it’s time for<br />

them to get the right people<br />

around the table.”<br />

McMahon<br />

presented a<br />

petition to<br />

the Waikura<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community<br />

Board in July.<br />

Paul<br />

McMahon<br />

The petition,<br />

with more than<br />

170 signatures<br />

from residents,<br />

was in support of introducing an<br />

alcohol ban.<br />

McMahon said alcohol-related<br />

harm has been an ongoing issue<br />

in the community.<br />

“I am aware that an alcohol<br />

ban is a very blunt tool and is not<br />

a solution in itself. I do not wish<br />

to criminalise people who are<br />

poor and addicted to alcohol.”<br />

Last month, he lodged an appeal<br />

against the decision of the<br />

District Licensing Committee to<br />

grant an off-licence to a liquor<br />

store in a high deprived part of<br />

Woolston.<br />

The appeal came after a group<br />

of residents, police and the medical<br />

officer of health failed to stop<br />

Super Liquor Ferry Rd’s application.<br />

The store is located in a level<br />

nine deprived area.<br />

ACTION: Concerns about alcohol-related harm and litter in<br />

Woolston Village have led to a call for a ban on alcohol.<br />

The New Zealand Index of<br />

Deprivation ranges from one<br />

to 10 and measures the level of<br />

socioeconomic deprivation for<br />

areas. One represents areas<br />

with the least deprivation<br />

and 10 represents those with the<br />

most.<br />

Boutique Christchurch retirement village<br />

recognised for excellence in aged care<br />

The upscale and boutique Ashley Suites care facility<br />

within The Russley Village in Christchurch has carried<br />

off the prestigious Jackson Van Interiors Built and<br />

Grown Environment Award as part of the NZACA/<br />

EBOS Excellence in Care Awards.<br />

The award recognised how considered design,<br />

quality and a refreshed approach to residential aged<br />

care is delivering positive clinical outcomes for its<br />

residents.<br />

This was announced in Christchurch last night at the<br />

New Zealand Aged Care Association (NZACA) and<br />

Retirement Villages Association (RVA) joint Summit.<br />

The Ashley Suites is an elegant care residence<br />

comprising 44 care suites, offering rest home and<br />

hospital level care. Its completion in late 2019 enabled<br />

The Russley Village to fulfil its promise to residents of<br />

providing quality residential care within the village.<br />

The Russley Village is operated by the Generus<br />

Living Group. For Group Director Graham Wilkinson,<br />

announcement that Ashley Suites won the award was<br />

further confirmation that its positioning in the luxury<br />

end of retirement living not only resonated with the<br />

market but, more importantly, was investing in the<br />

wellbeing of residents.<br />

“With Ashley Suites we sought to provide a care<br />

offering and environment that was exceptional in the<br />

market. We focused on creating a beautiful residence<br />

from which tailored and meaningful care could be<br />

given. We are delighted that this approach has been<br />

recognised by the industry and is reflected in the care<br />

outcomes of our residents. The Ashley Suites offers a<br />

personalised care approach uniquely overlaid with a<br />

quality hospitality offering.”<br />

Wilkinson said Generus set out to craft villages<br />

that reflected their unique location and which enabled<br />

residents to retain their individuality. “I believe with<br />

Ashley Care Suites, and, indeed, The Russley Village, we<br />

have achieved that.”<br />

The stunning architecture of the care facility has<br />

been seamlessly integrated with the urban fabric of the<br />

broader village. The care facility residents of Ashley<br />

Suites enjoy the extensive amenities on offer within the<br />

wider village, including activities in the village pool,<br />

time in the garden or enjoying a restaurant experience<br />

with friends and family.<br />

Spaciousness is a feature of the care suites, with a<br />

fully accessible ensuite bathroom and a kitchenette with<br />

a refrigerator and microwave to enable personalised<br />

and convenient light refreshments for residents and<br />

family. Individually controlled air-conditioning and a<br />

55in television add to the impressive amenity on offer.<br />

Aligned with the village’s upscale hospitality offering,<br />

residents of Ashley Suites enjoy a quality dining<br />

experience, supported by a dietician-designed gourmet<br />

menu and daily social hour.<br />

A private lounge area on the upper floor provides<br />

both residents and families a place to congregate,<br />

both for social engagements and also for respite and<br />

reflection. On the first floor, a dedicated salon and<br />

wellbeing suite allow residents to be pampered and<br />

groomed while maintaining dignity in the privacy of<br />

their residence.<br />

All residents can access an in-house physiotherapist,<br />

HONOURED: Harley Roach with daughter Myiah and coaching the mixed team of 11-year-olds.<br />

Hawks league player to captain World Cup team<br />

• By Gary Foster<br />

SHIRLEY HAWKS rugby<br />

league player Harley Roach has<br />

been selected to captain the<br />

Kiwi PDRL World Cup team to<br />

compete in the United Kingdom<br />

in November.<br />

The World Cup in Warrington<br />

will be held in conjunction with<br />

the men’s and women’s World<br />

Cups.<br />

The Physical Disability Rugby<br />

League team was selected from<br />

PDRL players from throughout<br />

New Zealand.<br />

Harley plays for the Shirley<br />

Hawks presidents team in the<br />

Saturday competition.<br />

He also plays for the Shirley<br />

Hawks masters team. His club involvement<br />

also extends to coaching<br />

a Shirley Hawks 11-year-olds<br />

team. It includes his daughter,<br />

Myiah along with four other girls<br />

in the mixed gender team.<br />

Harley’s selection is a great<br />

honour for him, his whanau<br />

and the Shirley Hawks Club are<br />

exceptionally proud of him.<br />

Harley has only one arm but<br />

this has not stopped him participating<br />

in full contact games<br />

with distinction, in his favourite<br />

sport. He welcomes any player to<br />

join him at the Hawks, especially<br />

if you have not played before or<br />

have a disability.<br />

Said Harley: “Shirley is a fully<br />

inclusive club and if I was not<br />

playing for the Hawks, I would<br />

not have advanced to be a World<br />

Cup Kiwi.”<br />

South Island players usually<br />

have limited exposure for Kiwi<br />

selection. To have Harley represent<br />

Canterbury and the whole<br />

of the South Island is absolutely<br />

fantastic his Hawks coach Jimmy<br />

Young said.<br />

The club is hoping Harley brings<br />

the PDRL World Cup home to<br />

Shirley as a Christmas gift.<br />

•Anyone interested in<br />

joining the Hawks for 2023, can<br />

phone Jimmy Young on 021 420<br />

937 or the junior club captain<br />

Andre <strong>Post</strong>huma on 027 303<br />

7088. Players are welcome for all<br />

grades and abilities. For 2023 the<br />

club is focusing on entering a full<br />

girls team in the 12/13/14 year<br />

age, to complement the work<br />

Harley has achieved with his<br />

mixed 11-year-olds team.<br />

A winning combination for early spring<br />

This slow-cooked, silky<br />

aubergine-chorizo<br />

casserole and a bright,<br />

zesty blood orange<br />

dessert are both<br />

made for double<br />

helpings, writes Nigel<br />

Slater<br />

Slow-cooked aubergine<br />

and chorizo<br />

This is a good-natured dish<br />

that will keep for a day or two.<br />

You could also use it as the filling<br />

for a savoury crumble, with a<br />

crust of breadcrumbs or flour,<br />

butter and crumbled feta. It is<br />

a dish to take your time over,<br />

letting the aubergine soften to<br />

the point where you could cut it<br />

with a spoon.<br />

Serves 4<br />

Ingredients<br />

2 Tbsp olive oil<br />

250g cooking chorizo<br />

1 red onion<br />

150g soft, dried prunes<br />

500g aubergine<br />

1 tsp ground cumin<br />

1 tsp ground coriander<br />

500ml chicken stock<br />

Directions<br />

Warm the olive oil in a deep<br />

saucepan, break the chorizo into<br />

short pieces and add them to the<br />

oil. Let the chorizo cook for 3<br />

or 4 minutes until its torn edges<br />

start to turn golden. Peel and<br />

roughly chop the onion, add to<br />

the pan and continue cooking<br />

until the onion is soft and translucent.<br />

Stir in the prunes.<br />

Set the oven at 180degC. Halve<br />

the aubergine lengthways, cut<br />

into thick slices and then into<br />

small cubes. Add to the pan and<br />

continue cooking until soft and<br />

tender. Stir in the cumin and<br />

coriander and let it cook for a<br />

minute or so, then pour in the<br />

chicken stock, add salt and black<br />

a lid. Bake in the preheated oven<br />

for 45minutes until all is meltingly<br />

soft.<br />

Finely grate the orange zest,<br />

chop the herbs, then mix them<br />

together. Scatter over the stew as<br />

you ladle it into bowls.<br />

Blood orange and lemon<br />

cake<br />

I often cook this cake in early<br />

spring, usually in a traditional<br />

loaf tin, a cut-and-come-again to<br />

take us through the week. This<br />

time I made a shallow version<br />

to offer as dessert. The cake will<br />

cook quite quickly in a shallow,<br />

square tin. Keep an eye on its<br />

progress, testing it after 20 minutes.<br />

It will keep well, too, in a<br />

PHOTO: GETTY<br />

You will need a square cake tin<br />

20-<strong>22</strong>cm in diameter, lined with<br />

baking parchment.<br />

Directions<br />

Set the oven at 180degC. Put<br />

the butter and sugar into the<br />

bowl of a food mixer and beat<br />

until soft. Finely grate the orange<br />

and lemon zest. Sift the flour and<br />

baking powder, then stir in the<br />

ground almonds.<br />

Break the eggs into a bowl<br />

and beat with a fork. Add to the<br />

butter and sugar a little at time<br />

with the beater at moderate<br />

speed. Should the mixture<br />

curdle, add a little flour. Add<br />

the remaining flour, almonds<br />

and baking powder. Transfer<br />

the mixture to the lined tin,<br />

smoothing the surface as you go.<br />

Bake in the preheated oven for<br />

20-25 minutes.<br />

To make the syrup: Squeeze<br />

the lemon and the orange into a<br />

small saucepan, add the sugar,<br />

then bring to the boil. Let it cook<br />

for a couple of minutes until<br />

lightly syrupy, then remove from<br />

the heat. Using a metal skewer,<br />

pierce about 20 holes in the<br />

surface of the cake, then spoon<br />

the citrus syrup over. Leave the<br />

cake to cool then cut into 12<br />

pieces.<br />

In a cold bowl, whip the<br />

cream until it sits in soft folds,<br />

then place a spoonful on each<br />

cake. Remove the peel from the<br />

blood orange and separate the<br />

segments. Place one on each slice.<br />

School Update<br />

He Manukura Pitopito Kōrero<br />

Kua hinga te totara i te wao nui a Tane<br />

The totara has fallen in the forest of Tane<br />

Kia orana, Noa’ia, Talofa lava, Mauri, Mālō e lelei, Tālofa, Ni Sa Bula Vinaka, Fakaalofa<br />

lahi atu, Mālō ni and warm Pacific greetings. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tatou<br />

katoa. Nau mai, Haere Mai!<br />

It is with deep sadness we acknowledge the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who died<br />

peacefully at Balmoral on the afternoon of 8th <strong>September</strong> 20<strong>22</strong>. For many of us it<br />

is the end of an era and the end of her majesty’s 70 year reign. In 1990 the Queen<br />

visited Waitangi and acknowledged the problems of the past and the damaging legacy<br />

of the colonisation of Aotearoa and the negative impact on Māori. Queen Elizabeth<br />

affirmed that te Tiriti o Waitangi had been “imperfectly observed.”<br />

Our thoughts are with the British royal whānau and the House of Windsor at this<br />

sad time.<br />

I was privileged to speak at the<br />

NZEALS international educational<br />

leadership conference at the<br />

University of Waikato last week.<br />

I shared with conference delegates<br />

Haeata’s commitment to Kaupapa<br />

Māori principles of leadership and<br />

ako/teaching and learning.<br />

A highlight for me was hearing Keynote addresses<br />

by Mere Berryman, Russell Bishop and Anne Milne<br />

and then visiting Hobbiton for the conference dinner.<br />

Hobbiton is a place I would love to take our ākonga<br />

to as part of our Year 8 Camp project in 2023.<br />

A huge congratulations to the Kapa Haka Kura Tuarua<br />

Society national committee for their organisation<br />

of the national competition which has now returned after four long years. The<br />

committee were committed to holding a national event this year after the disruptions<br />

of COVID-19 lockdowns to ensure the 20<strong>22</strong> ākonga Year 12 cohort did not miss<br />

out on performing at the national competition in their secondary school years.<br />

The competition is being held over two days across five different regions and Haeata<br />

Community Campus has the privilege of hosting her in Ōtautahi. We wish these<br />

talented rangitahi well for the competition.<br />

Kaimahi/staff and ākonga/students<br />

welcomed members of the Education<br />

Review Office evaluation team to kura<br />

last week. It was exciting to be able to<br />

share the journey our kura has been on<br />

since their last visit in 2019.<br />

Ko Haeata Tātou!<br />

Kia kaha, kia toa, kia manawanui<br />

He tangata ki tahi.<br />

Dr Peggy Burrows, Manukura<br />

Kōmanawa Hapori<br />

For the past four weeks, ākonga from Takirau and Ohua in<br />

Kōmanawa have been taking part in Have A Go afternoons<br />

with St James students, run by ACTIS. This has involved<br />

being split into groups and then spending an afternoon playing<br />

either badminton, football, ripper rugby or cricket.<br />

These sessions are run by members of local sports groups<br />

like Canterbury football and are built around fun sessions<br />

designed to introduce skills and related games particular to<br />

these sports. The ākonga love these sessions, although some<br />

sports are more popular than others (until they get to try<br />

them), and many groaned loudly today when they realised<br />

the cooler weather had seen today’s sessions being cancelled.<br />

Not only are these sessions enjoyable but great learning<br />

experiences, so many of our tamariki are natural sports<br />

people!<br />

Haeata Community Campus hosts<br />

Christchurch Schools’ Music Festival<br />

area rehearsal<br />

As one of the participating<br />

schools, Haeata Community<br />

Campus had the privilege to<br />

host one of the area rehearsals<br />

of Christchurch Schools’<br />

Music Festival. The festival is<br />

organised by the Christchurch<br />

School Music Festival<br />

Association Inc (CSMFA), a<br />

charity registered with the<br />

Department of Internal Affairs.<br />

The CSMFA is made up of all<br />

schools involved in the current<br />

Music Festival.<br />

On each night of the Festival, a different Massed Choir of about 700 voices made up<br />

from some of the schools involved, performs a selection of songs with the support of<br />

the Junior and Senior Representative Choirs, the Concert Band and/or the Symphony<br />

Orchestra.<br />

The whole rationale of the Christchurch Schools’ Music festival is based on the<br />

involvement of choirs from schools in Christchurch, its environs and from the<br />

West Coast.<br />

The event will take place from 1 to 4 November in the<br />

Christchurch Town Hall.<br />

Haeata Community Campus presents<br />

“This is me” Performing Arts Production<br />

“This is me!” is an inspiring and<br />

uplifting production, giving voice to<br />

the hopes, dreams, potential, rights<br />

and individuality of our modern day<br />

youth, brought to you by the Haeata<br />

Community Campus Performing Arts<br />

department. The ākonga involved<br />

are representing year 6 – 13 and<br />

the event is a celebration of dance,<br />

singing and various forms of acting.<br />

The show will run for two evenings,<br />

27 and 28 <strong>September</strong>, with the first<br />

show being a dinner theatre event in<br />

collaboration with the hospitality team<br />

and the second a seated show.<br />

74A MONCKS SPUR ROAD | REDCLIFFS<br />

7 FRANCIS JAMES LANE | THE POWER OF ONE<br />

SOLD AT AUCTION | $1,500,000<br />

We have all heard the analogy, it only takes one. In the real estate world, unfortunately only one Family<br />

can buy a HOME. 7 Francis James Lane in Redcliffs was the prime example. With a successful campaign<br />

meeting 40 buyers through the open home and 28,853 online impressions, we managed to have one cash<br />

unconditional buyer in a position to purchase the HOME at auction.<br />

What do you do when there is only one bidder? Some people might think it is a disadvantage only having<br />

one bidder for their property, in the buyers eyes they are thinking 'why am I the only person wanting to<br />

buy this HOME?'. In this situation, your HOME specialist has to be creative and transparent. Having an<br />

open conversation with your only bidder is very important, also we need to talk to our conditional<br />

interested parties because the money at auction isn't always the best option for owners.<br />

When we conduct our auctions with one bidder, we brief the one party that they are the only person that<br />

we will be talking to through the auction process and create a strategy that allows us to pause the<br />

auction and enter into a private negotiation with the bidder and the vendor. In the case of 7 Francis<br />

James Lane, we had that transparent conversation and the bidding kicked off at $1,200,000, when there<br />

were no other parties there to participate in the bidding, a bid on behalf of the vendor was placed by<br />

the auctioneer at $1,250,000 and offered back to the highest bidder at $1,300,000. Once the bid was<br />

accepted we announced if there was no further bidding we would pause the auction and enter into a<br />

private negotiation with our highest bidder. After 40 Minutes of negotiations and life-changing<br />

conversations, the vendor and purchaser agreed on the final sale price of $1,500,000, and the HOME<br />

was withdrawn and SOLD.<br />

Through this process, we managed to achieve the highest possible price the market was willing to pay<br />

for 7 Francis James Lane which left our owners ecstatic.<br />
