FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

Lupe Asi may not be a Penrith Panthers fan, but she is behind a $200,000 upgrade to her Wainoni Park home ground that could see the team play there.

The Aranui Eagles Rugby League Club junior coach said the upgrade will be fantastic because her young players will get to see the Australian rugby

league team train.The draft annual plan, out for

consultation, had an amendment put in by city councillor Glenn Livingstone to get the $200,000 upgrade, to ensure the Aranui Eagles got to have the Panthers play at their home ground.

The plan goes before the city council in late June.

The Panthers have a four-year deal with the city council, which means they will play games in

Christchurch.The first game against the

Vodafone Warriors will be at AMI Stadium on May 14.

The deal also involves the Pan-thers training on neighbourhood pitches and ‘coaching coaches’.

The Panthers could be training

with and coaching Aranui players on the upgraded grounds as soon as next year, said Cr Livingstone.

He said Panthers executive general manager Phil Gould told him in January while he was visiting the city council that he was keen to play at Wainoni Park.

Aranui Eagles Rugby League Club president Alana Hema said the club is “100 per cent” behind the project.

“It won’t happen this year,

but we will see the benefits in the long run. We’re ecstatic that Glenn and people at the coun-cil have been working hard on this,” she said.

“Absolutely we’re really excited for the coaching and it’s well needed,” she said.

Cr Livingstone’s said staff are now working on the amendment as well as a time line of implementation for the upgrade to go ahead.

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

A community group fears that the partial land sale of QE II Park to the Government is a foregone conclusion.

Keep QE II in the East, a lobby group that has battled for a replacement pool and recre-ation facility, says consultation being carried out on the sale of 11.5ha of land to the Ministry of Education is a rubber stamping exercise.

The sale would see the Min-istry of Education relocate both Shirley Boys’ and Avonside Girls’ high school to the site.

In a submission on the plan, Keep QE II in the East chairwoman Jo Zervos (right) said she believed the consultation pro-cess will not make any difference on the outcome.

She said the land sale of the park has been handled poorly, but was reflective of the “disap-pointing” process surrounding the site.

Controversy has plagued the replacement facility since an initial draft was turned down by the city council for being too expensive.

Submissions closed for the public to have their say on the sale at midnight on April 3.

Ms Zervos said while the group made a submission it believed the sale was a foregone conclusion and officials were just ticking off community consultation for legal reasons.

The group said it wanted to “express huge disappoint-ment” towards the treatment of the community throughout the process.

Ms Zervos questioned whether the lack of city council members present at public drop-in sessions was a sign of how the council felt.

“This consultation seems only to be done as a legal requirement. Having attended the drop-in sessions, there

were none of our council representatives available to answer the questions the public had.”

A city council spokeswoman said the submissions would not be released until mid-April.

Burwood-Pegasus Community Board chairwoman Andrea Cummings said she hadn’t seen the submissions and couldn’t comment if they were mostly positive or negative.

NEW WASTEWATER PUMP STATION A new multi-million dollar wastewater pump station has been opened in Pages Rd in Aranui. The $6.6 million station was opened by a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday. Members of Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team and city councillors Phil Clearwater, David East and Glenn Livingstone took part in the opening. The vacuum system in the new station is the largest of its type in New Zealand and will service 2700 households.

FORMER SCHOOL SITE ON OFFER A meeting will be held to decide what will happen with the former Central New Brighton School site. The site has been offered to the community for two years. Two workshops are being held for the New Brighton community to comment on what they want to see happen to the site. Both workshops are being held on Thursday, April 21, the first from 1-3pm and the other from 7.30-9.30pm. Renew Brighton wants to know how the community would like to use the site and what difference it could make to their lives.

Shirley Boys’ High School head-master John Laurenson re-sponds to an article on eastern suburbs school deficits:

I was astonished to read the article in which it was noted that Shirley Boys’ High School had the largest deficit ($285,684) of schools in the east in 2014.

Putting aside the fact that this was a situation for 2014 – two years ago, I draw your read-ers attention to the following: For the record, the figure the reporter uses was for Decem-ber 2014, a day before Minis-try funding was deposited in the school’s bank accounts. The school had (and still does have) more than $1 million in reserves.

In 2014 Shirley Boys’ was not under scrutiny for its financial management and in fact at no time in its history, or since 2014,

has it been under scrutiny for the way it balances its budget.

Readers respond to the pier fishing ban

Walter Roy – I am enjoying going to the pier again.

There is no more fish blood, or stinking, rotten fish any more (in-cluding some greasy individuals).

It was an eyesore, to be honest.

Jan Kenny – As soon as the fishing ban was instated, I went to the pier that very day to enjoy it, free at last from the damag-ing and depressing effects of the fishing and crabbing activities, so unsustainable.

I momentarily forgot that this was just for one day a week, and only for the meagre 10am to 5pm.

It was a beautiful day and I was thinking of bringing the oth-ers down to enjoy the evening,

but was met on the way back by fishers and crabbers arriving at 5pm sharp.

I am strongly in favour of a full fishing ban. Or at the very least, a full weekend ban, from noon Friday to midnight Sunday.

The pier has more to offer than the constant and intrusive pres-ence of the fishing and crabbing activity prevents.

One could wander out to see the sun rise from a beautiful peaceful spot on a fine morning, or sit out on the pier during the day and enjoy the vistas, have a picnic, or read.

Small art happenings could take place, or pavement art could appear, people could stroll the pier on an evening, and this might even generate further busi-ness in New Brighton.

Fishers might need to return to Lyttelton.

MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

With mornings getting colder and winter in the air, it might be a good time to remind people about the metre/heater rule.

This is a simple little recommendation invented a few years back that gives us all a means of reducing the risk of fireplaces, heaters and even stoves setting fire to the houses they are in.

The metre/heater rule requires nothing combustible being placed closer than a metre from an operating heater or fireplace.

This includes clothing being dried, magazines and newspa-pers and most importantly hu-man beings and pets.

On the question of most effi-cient home heating we generally recommend heat pumps because of their relative low cost to run and more importantly, from our perspective, the fact they have

rarely caused houses to catch fire.

This doesn’t mean we dismiss gas fires (those flued to the out-side) or convection or radiant electric heaters.

But these need to be operated strictly to the metre/heater rule above.

Most people would have been aware of the young person injured after falling in the red danger zone of the cliffs at Sumner last Sunday morning. He ended up in ambu-lance and then hospital care.

But spare a thought for the members of Sumner Fire Bri-gade and the ambulance staff who attended. They had to put themselves in potential danger to recover this person. They wouldn’t have thought twice. It’s what people do.

Especially it’s what emergency services people do. But it should never have been necessary.

Unfortunately common sense seems to be less common daily.

Remember the metre/heater rule

BE SAFE: Dry your clothes under the heat pump rather than leave them on a heater. Keep your clothes 1m from any heating appliance.

Ruby Allan and Hannah Battrick from Room 1 at Queenspark School

Last Monday, UNICEF representative John Daysh came to Queenspark School and collected a $2100 cheque from Room 1.

As you all know in February, Fiji was hit by category five Cyclone Winston. This cyclone has disturbed many citizens of Fiji. It has destroyed houses, land, beaches and much more. At least 50 people have died or gone missing. The winds were blowing at about 325km/h.

After this disaster Room 1 thought that we should do some fundraising, so a group of year 8 pupils from Room 1 got together to organise a mufti day, coin trail and a bake sale.

We held the mufti day on the March 4. The day had a theme ‘dress like you were on the islands’. So most people came dressed in grass skirts and flower necklaces. For the coin trail we spelt out Fiji, and everybody contributed.

Then on March 11 we had the next fundraiser – the bake

sale. This was a big hit with the children. There was so much baking. From apple muffins to chocolate fudge all spread around the room. It all looked so delicious. Everyone really enjoyed that fundraiser.

We counted up the money, and all together we made $2100. We thought that was a

really good effort. Everyone contributed because they knew the money was going to a good cause.

Mr Daysh talked to the year 7 and 8s about where and what the money will be go-ing towards. The money that we fundraised will be going towards helping the children get over their traumas and being with their friends.

UNICEF will also put up tents full of supplies for the children to play in. They have a tent full of school supplies so the children could have some school type lessons. They also have tents full with sports equipment including balls, bats and tennis rackets.

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

People still stuck in insurance battles from the February 2011, earthquake say they cannot get upgrades to keep their homes warm this winter.

The city council said about half of all customers of its Build Back Smarter programme, about 400, say they cannot act on recommendations to get their houses warmer because they are still negotiating with their insurer.

The programme gives free

housing assessment of what is needed to warm the house, including putting in heat pumps, curtains, insulation and draft stops.

The city council’s sustainability adviser Tony Moore said during a customer feedback survey, it was found that the main reason given for not act-ing on the assessment was insurance battles.

City councillor Glenn Living-stone (above) said he was ap-palled to find out half of people

seeking help could be prevented from warming their homes.

He said if a decision was still pending on their house, no alterations could be made.

He said it is “ridicu-lous” that even after five years people are still talking to insurance com-panies to find out if their house will be repaired or

rebuilt.But an Insurance Council of

New Zealand spokeswoman said insurers will act reasonably

to ensure people are in warm houses coming into the winter months and people should talk

to their insurer directly.She said generally if the

additions are cosmetic, for example adding warmer curtains or heat pumps, these would not be considered structural, delay time frames, add extra costs or create compliance issues.

Cr Livingstone said: “If 800 people have been assessed and half are unable to go ahead with renovations because of an insurance hold up, are they saying that half of those people are wrong? Is it reasonable that they’re still waiting?” he said.

our PEOPLE > Do you know someone who should be our next Our People? Nominate them now by emailing [email protected] Helen Mantell

Hi Helen, thanks for having a chat with me. What makes your job so special?

For me the job is so special because it’s really about finding the kids that are missing out on their education because they’re unwell. If we find those students that have been out of school for a while and they’re unwell, if we can make a difference to them in terms of their education while they’re sick, then that’s what makes it really worthwhile.

What schools did you go to?I went to Redcliffs Primary

School, and Linwood High School in those days, now Linwood College.

What about your own school experience? Was there any teacher who stood out?

I guess I had a mathematics teacher called Mr McMeekin. I had him for a few years, and he was reasonably influential in pushing me to become a maths teacher. He was probably a fa-vourite teacher of mine, he was only in his first couple years of teaching, so he was early in his career, and his passion for the subject made it I think.

How long have you been involved with the school?

I’ve been at the school since 2004, and I’ve been the principal since 2011.

What does your family think about your position, they must be proud?

Yes. They are pretty proud. They’re all in Christchurch, well my immediate family anyway. I taught at Rangi Ruru for a number of years before I came here as a mathematics teacher and was looking for the next step in my career. What do you do outside of work?

I love spending time with my family. And if I’m not doing that I like walking in the Port Hills.

That’s great. What would you say is the school’s greatest success story?

One girl comes to mind straight away here. She was with us for quite a period of time, most students are generally with us for between 14 and 15 weeks, but this student was with us for most of the year.

She was working towards gaining NCEA level 2, and man-aged to achieve that by the end of the year. She went back to her school for the final year and has since gone on to university. I think she is actually studying medicine, which is amazing when you think about what she would’ve been managing during that time.

Wow, a huge turn around. Have there been some quite sad stories as well?

Oh absolutely. I mean there are some situations where if we’re talking about a physically-ill student, sometimes they don’t make it. That’s an incredibly sad time. Sometimes the barriers of the student’s illness are too great to make any progress on their education as well.

When did health schools start arriving in NZ?

In their current format, they were rolled out in 2000. Before that they were just extensions or parts of hospitals. From the get go there has been three individ-ual schools across the country. But the Southern Health School is the only one in the South Island.

What are you hoping to achieve this year?

Along those lines I’m hop-

ing to achieve a half marathon, through a combination of walk-ing and running. And I guess I’d want to make sure the kids that are out of school because of an illness continue their educa-tion, that’s why I keep coming to work.

The teachers must be kept pretty busy at the health school?

We work all over the place really. They teach students who are unwell for an extended period of time, and they might teach them at school, in a hospital or even at their homes. We also work in health-funded facilities like The Princess Margaret Hospital in their mental health wards.

I guess the teachers wouldn’t know what to expect when they turn up for work each day.

That’s right. For teachers it’s very exciting and you can think you have a day planned out, but things can change quickly like the students may be unwell or unable to come to a lesson or something – they have to be flexible.

What illnesses does the health school help with?

So we work with patients that are struggling with physical and mental health conditions. For us to come in, they have to be off for a long period.

And can anyone get in, or do they have to be se-lected?

It’s an application process and anyone can refer someone to us. Generally it’s the parents, schools, and health professionals that put in applica-tions for students, and the only re-quirement is a sign off from a health professional.

How many students do you help every year?

If I look across

the South Island at the moment we have about 170 students on our roll. That number varies greatly though – we can have up to 300 students at any one time. We generally see about 700 students over a year.

And so from that ever-changing roll, what do the students see it as?

Our other purpose is to sup-port a transition back to school. We call ourselves ‘a station on their journey’. They come to us while they’re unwell, then we work hard in partnership with them to get them back into schooling life.

While they’re at the health school, are they solely enrolled there?

No, no. They’re still enrolled in their previous school, sort of like a dual roll. When they get back we always try to fol-low what they’re doing, but if they can’t go back to school, we can take over their programme if they

need help long term.How big is the gap when

they do return to their other school?

We try and make sure that they’re at if not above where their peers are at. Our teachers work one-on-one and in small groups with students, so it’s not like a traditional big class. That can be very beneficial for them.

There must be a huge range of illnesses you see?

Yes absolutely. Unfortunately the two most common illnesses we see are cancer and mental health conditions. Generally the students with mental health issues have anxiety and depres-sion, but there are some we see that are on the more extreme end of that scale.

That’s interesting. Do you think that has

something to do with the stress from the earthquakes?

Whether it’s a direct result I don’t know, but when you think about the effect on families the quakes have had, it was huge.

Families were moving house, jobs, schools, so

it may have tipped them over the edge in terms of handling school as well as

an illness.

ROUGH NIGHT: Elizabeth Wylaars, Savannah Wyld and Emilie Crosby were among more than 80 students who spent the night sleeping in tough conditions recently to raise money and awareness for the less fortunate. The students from Marian College, Catholic Cathedral College and Villa Maria College slept in cardboard shelters, which they built themselves. The fundraiser was one of a number of challenges set by Catholic charity Caritas, and was the third time students have braved the cold to raise money for a struggling country. This year’s focus was on Cambodia. The final amount of money raised is not known yet.

COLD SLEEP: Georgia Thomas and Jessica Starr get up after a long night sleeping under the stars to raise money and awareness for those having to sleep rough in Cambodia. The Marian College students were two of more than 80 participating in the event, which was the third of its kind. The past two events raised a combined total of over $2000.

SWEET GESTURE: Georgiana, Darne, Shayla and Evie, all years 5 and 6, held a guess the lollies competition and asked for donations of pet food for the SPCA recently. The pupils raised $135.90 for the SPCA. At the end of the competition, the closest guess came from JJ, who guessed 381, when there were 385 lollies in the jar.

NEW HALL: Waitakiri School can expect its new hall to be finished by the beginning of July. The old school hall, on the former Windsor School site was demolished in January, with the construction of a new hall beginning soon after. The hall is being built by Hawkins, and is the final stage of the school’s rebuild. Funding for the hall’s refurbishment came from Mainland Foundation and Rata Foundation. The school’s board of trustees have agreed to pay half of the hall’s costs, while the Ministry of Education will cover the other half.

A charitable trust that helps make Canterbury homes warm is a finalist in a national community award.

Community Energy Action has been nominated in the community category of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority awards, which focuses on recognising organisations that go the extra mile in the field of energy efficiency.

“I am really pleased that CEA has been nominated and recog-nised for what the organisation has achieved,” chief executive Caroline Shone said.

Over the last two years the trust has been adapt-ing to the changes in communities around Canterbury, which has resulted in assist-ing households to make them warmer, drier and more energy efficient.

CEA operates a Curtain Bank

which recycles donated curtains and a free independent Energy Advice Service.

The trust also manages com-munity projects in collaboration

with other organisa-tions such as the Repair Well Project together with New Zealand Red Cross, this project helps vulnerable homeown-ers with earthquake-damaged properties incorporate energy efficiency measures

during repairs.If you know of a local achiever, email [email protected]

HARD WORKERS: The ECA team offers help and assistance to families from all types of backgrounds and are excited to be nominated in the awards this year.

Rural life – getting down to businessKATE PREECESharing my life with a stubby-wearing, gumboot thrashing, genuine country man, it was only natural we tune in to the new season of Rural New Zealand.

The picturesque setting over-looking Banks Peninsula was a great backdrop to meet new presenter, Gordon Findlater, the man who promised to take us from Prebbleton to Geral-dine and back.

On the flat of South Canterbury, the edu-cational value of-fered by Geraldine High School’s Pri-mary Industry Acad-emy was highlighted well. The enthusiasm of the next-generation of farming folk an encour-aging sight to see. As Gordon (right) tried – and failed – to tie off a wire fence alongside the students, however, some dismis-sive noises came from the seat beside me. While the city slick-ers might find humour in this part of the programme, Gordon will need to toughen up if he is going to earn any points with the farmers.

The stories that followed provided snapshots of rural life, from up-and-coming entrepre-

neurs to those making a liveli-hood out of liv-ing off the land. By exploring the

different aspects of what it means to

live a rural lifestyle, viewers are shown the

diversity offered beyond the city limits. In that respect, Rural New Zealand ticks a few boxes for us. “That’s the beauty of farming in New Zealand – it’s an open book, no one keeps their cards to their chest,” explains the accredited armchair critic. “Everyone wants to hear of people doing well for them-selves as it’s a hard way of life.”

Our favourite part of the show was the speed shearing compe-tition in Geraldine. In classic

‘country comes to town’ style, the sheep had centre stage in the Village Inn’s backyard, and the commu-nity were there to support the shearers and experience what is quite often too far from their own doorstep. As well as the pros, we heard from those beginning their quest for the sharpest shears, once again present-ing the future of the vastly varied rural industry in good form.

Farmers will appreciate seeing the successes of like-minded souls on Rural New Zealand, while concrete-bound viewers will be presented with tasters of the rural life. Short and snappy – more No 8 Wired than Country Calendar – the segments will keep young and old entertained. With the promise of the Mayfair Fair, the Hurunui Races and a lettuce farmer, we look forward to the second instalment, and seeing Gordon get those gumboots dirty.

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

Arawa Canoe Club, based at Kerrs Reach, will be busy fundraising over the next few months to send three kayakers to the junior world championships.

Shani Clark, Ben Duffy, and Jake Koekemoer have all been picked for the New Zealand under 18 canoe racing team, and will head to Europe in July.

All three kayakers have been picked for under 18 representative teams that will

travel to Belarus in July.A small amount of funding

has been provided by High Performance New Zealand, but the rest is up to the kayaker to provide. They are still yet to find out how much the cost could be.

For Clark, this is her second world championships, after rep-resenting New Zealand at last year’s under-18 women’s squad. Duffy and Koekemoer are new to the under-18 mens’ squad this year.

Arawa Canoe Club coach Paul Fidow said he was proud of all three kayakers, but espe-cially proud of Clark.

“Shani was selected last year to go to Portugal, after a big training camp in Hungary. But for Jake and Ben it’s their first world champs, and their second international tournament,” he said.

Fidow said the athletes will travel to Slovenia before taking on the world championships.

“They’ll be leaving for the

world champs on July 6, and coming back in August . . . they will have a training camp in Slo-venia before the real competition kicks off later in July,” he said.

The competition venue is a specially made regatta course just outside of Belarus’ capital, Minsk.

This comes after the Arawa Canoe Club won the top club award at the National Sprint Kayaking Champion-ships in February, and the Tyro Cup for juniors aged under 13.

Auction items will include an All Blacks signed and framed 2015 Rugby World Cup jersey, a Kane Williamson jersey, a Vodafone Warriors package, a Crusaders package and one of only 35 T-shirts ever made for the 1995 World Cup All Blacks tourism squad.

The ticket price includes a three-course lunch from chef Tony Smith and annual membership to the Papanui Club. Tickets are limited and cost $100 plus gst. Phone 021 2671429 or [email protected] to buy tickets.

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and senior clients visit

complaining of pain in one or both hips. Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests that

a major part of the pain could be due to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. “Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason for the pain may be the muscles around the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a back muscle could also be the cause, as shown in the image.

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year old client with severe arthritis who walked with a stick, told her, “I will end up in a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight through my right leg due to pain in my hip and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she was walking with her stick but without the severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was one of the factors that made her muscles spasm but the other was that older people move less and the flexed position the hip is in when we sit is particularly bad for the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that although the client was 89 and could have been “given up on” or told to live with the pain, she made a difference to her health and wellbeing.

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques (massage and triggerpoint deactivation techniques) are used to release the muscles. The client also gets a home exercise program

designed to mobilize and stretch the hip, strengthen the important core muscles and increase general strength and balance. They teach a movement sequence that stretches the hip in all directions whilst the client is able to lie safely on their bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.

In many cases having the muscles released and being taught how to maintain it, is enough

a back Hip muscle that causes hip pain Hip muscle that causes hip pain

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)

to stay on top of the problem. If severe arthritis is the underlying cause, some maintenance therapy may be necessary, but that is often more affordable and, for older patients, better tolerated than surgery. In very few treatments the client will know if it is going to work for them or not, without financial commitment.

Physical Sense Gym & Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. There is a bus

stop in front of the door and there is ample parking. To enquire about specialised exercise classes or physiotherapy treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz.

Avonside Girls’ High School was the only eastern secondary school to come away from the Maadi Cup with gold medals.

The school’s under 18 lightweight double sculls team of Arlia O’Sullivan and Ruby Norton won gold in the national A final with a time of 7min 54sec.

Avonside had two teams reach the final in the competition, the other was the under 18 novice double sculls, who took fourth place in their A final.

Crews that qualified for the quarter-finals took berths in either the A (top eight) or B (top 16) finals.

The other two eastern schools, Shirley Boys’ High School and Marian College competed with varying results.

Shirley put on a strong

attempt, but were unable to claim a national A finals gold medal. While Marian did not qualify for an A final.

Although several Shirley crews progressed to the quarter and semi-final stages, the best placed team were the under 18 novice double sculls who came second in their A final.

A highlight of the tournament for coach Dale Maher was seeing the under 16 eight crew qualify

for the national final on Saturday. They went on to finish third in their A final.

Maher said the crew were only together for a month and knocked out traditional rowing powerhouses such as Auckland Grammar, Westlake Boys and St Bedes to earn a place in the top eight.

The semi-finals proved to be the turning point for Shirley, after 11 crews made semis, but only seven made A finals.

Those that made the A finals were the under 18 novice double sculls (second), under 18 novice coxed eight (third), under 18 novice coxed four (sixth), under 15 double sculls (seventh), under 16 coxed quad sculls (seventh), and under 16 coxed eight (eighth).

A return home to Christchurch for one young local family has seen boutique home-based childcare service Stems From Home begin

to sow learning seeds in the mainland. After five very successful years of ‘growing young minds’ in east Auckland, Emma McAlister is very excited to be able to share the infectious Stems passion for babies, toddlers and young children with her fellow Cantabrians.

Following the latest in early brain development research, Stems fosters the belief that our little ones learn best when able to form an attachment to one other significant care-giver when family cannot be there to nurture them. The ability for each child’s learning journey to grow

individually from their own interests and at their own pace, using natural and authentic learning environments, is key to Stems’ excellent reputation. These key guidelines, coupled with the practical aspects of small ‘family’ groups, affordability, proximity to home, reduced child illness and stress for the children, with all learning underpinned by the NZ ECE curriculum, ensures that Stems stands out as an excellent option for many young families locally.

Due to growth, Stems are looking to recruit more special home-based educators now! If young children naturally warm to you and you want a career with family-friendly hours, please contact Emma directly to discuss today on 0800 783 378 or email at [email protected].

The team at Braxton Car Lights also specialises in repairs for light adjuster and light conversion of American car lights, and their repair service includes plastic welding, drying out and resealing, re-silvering and

lens refurbishment. They work closely with garage workshops, and their services can be arranged through your own local garage on your behalf.

Sales manager Richard Vernimmen says that their team is dedicated to saving their customers’ money, whether on late model cars with expensive parts or early models where replacements are hard to find. The team of three expert professionals at Braxton have over 60 years of experience between them in the automotive industry to help you with your needs.

Their aim at Braxton is to supply their customers the parts that they require at a pocket-friendly price. And with heaps of available stock, they will do everything to provide a solution to their car light-searching exercise.

Character meets convenience 130 Clyde Rd, Fendalton3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living room | 1 office/study | 2-car garage | Listing #: PI42855

Love the ambience and charm of character homes, but could do without a time-consuming do-up job or sprawling gardens to control?

The vendors of 130 Clyde Road have done the hard work of modernising this gracious property, creating an inviting and comfortable family home, so the lucky new owner can simply move in and enjoy.

Offering three bedrooms plus a study, the home has an open-plan kitchen and dining area, in addition to a separate north-facing living room with a gorgeous bay window that invites you to curl up with a good book! Outside, the low-maintenance yet private garden features a sunny terrace and BBQ area for entertaining, and established, easy-care plantings. Secure double garaging also adds to the convenience. The two bathrooms in the home have both been recently updated, but there is still room for the new owner to add their own touches – the kitchen, while practical and very tidy, could be enhanced to add further value.

Conveniently situated close to amenities such as supermarket, shops and schooling, 130 Clyde Rd is zoned for Christchurch Boys’ and Girls’ High Schools, Burnside High School, Cobham Intermediate and Fendalton Primary. All EQC repairs are complete, and the land offers the reassurance of TC2 rating. The vendor has committed to downsizing, so this home is very definitely for sale.

Open Home: Sunday, April 17, 4pm to 4.30pm.

See you at the open home or for a private viewing contact Cameron Bailey of Harcourts Gold Papanui (Licensed Agent REAA 2008) on 352 6166 or mobile 027 555 7079.
