Celebrating 

20 years of 

service to the 

community 

• By Bea Gooding 

BRENT CHRISTENSEN 

originally visited the Delta 

Community Support Trust for a 

hot meal. 

That first encounter has now 

transpired into 20 years of service 

and dedication towards the 

trust’s food bank and community 

events. 

This month marked the special 

milestone for the Linwood 

resident who has volunteered for 

four days a week at the organisation 

more than two decades. 

“It feels amazing and overwhelming. 

It’s so lovely to have a 

place to come and feel loved and 

wanted,” said Mr Christensen. 

“It gets me out of bed every 

morning.” 

It all started when he was seeking 

a sense of community and 

had come across the meal organised 

by the North Avon Baptist 

Church – from then on he had 

found his purpose. 

“I thought I might give them a 

hand with dishes as well, then it 

just got bigger from there,” he said. 

“It feels really good to be a part 

of the family, I love helping and 

being with people and I’ve made 

so many friends over the years.” 

Mr Christensen holds many 

roles at the trust, such as organising 

DVD nights with the Friendship 

Link – a companion group 

for people with disabilities and is 

the official DJ at discos held at St 

Albans Baptist Church. 

The volunteer said much had 

changed over the years, especially 

since the earthquakes and now 

the recovery from Covid-19 and 

having more demand for food 

parcels. 

Now that the country was in 

recovery mode, he urged others 

to get involved in their communities 

and give back, no matter 

how small. 

“It’s so rewarding, and being 

with people and helping them 

really makes their day.”

COMMUNITY BOARD members 

have banded together for their first 

“Clean Up Day,” clearing overgrown 

vegetation on the banks of the Avon 

River. 

Members of the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board noticed a section 

near the river beside New Brighton 

Rd was “a bit worse for wear,” and 

decided to take action. 

The board’s chairman Kelly Barber 

said the clean-up was also inspired 

by members of the community 

who made similar comments of the 

riverbank’s state. 

Said Mr Barber: “We felt with 

council resources and budgets likely 

to be stretched due to the effects of 

Covid-19 over the foreseeable future; 

it might be good for our team to lend 

a hand. 

“We had a wonderful time together 

and managed to clean up a section 

of the road side hundreds of metres 

long.” 

The area was overgrown and 

“neglected” with tall grass, but 

during the lockdown the city 

council was unable to carry out the 

usual maintenance due to Covid-19 

restrictions. 

TAKING INITIATIVE: Coastal-Burwood Community Board deputy 

chairwoman Jo Zervos (left), chairman Kelly Barber, city councillors 

Phil Mauger and James Daniels, and board member Bebe Frayle. 

“The council staff do an amazing 

job, but they can’t do everything.” 

He encouraged the community to 

get involved and take responsibility 

for their area and said the board 

planned to hold more clean-up days 

in the future. 

“This is where we live and this is our 

area. We can either wait for others to 

do it or we can do it ourselves – it’s 

taking pride in the area that you live 

in,” said Mr Barber.

Javahna’s mission to keep homeless warm 


TWELVE-YEAR-OLD Javahna 

Page is determined to keep 

Christchurch’s homeless 

community warm this winter. 

The New Brighton volunteer 

has started her very own charity, 

Winter Warming Hearts by 

Javahna, this month after seeing 

the reality of homelessness in the 

city – something she did not see 

after previously living in Timaru. 

Her goal was to put together 

backpacks filled with winter essentials 

such as blankets, gloves, 

beanies, scarves and flasks filled 

with homemade vegetable soup. 

“I felt really bad because I’ve 

got everything I need and I lived 

in a nice, warm house but homeless 

people don’t have that much 

stuff,” said Javahna. 

“And Jacinda (Ardern) said we 

needed more kindness in New 

Zealand, so I wanted to help out.” 

She originally had plans to 

save up for a PlayStation, but realised 

there were bigger issues at 

hand and decided to support the 

homeless in any way she could. 

It initially started off with 

organising 10 backpacks, also 

equipped with supermarket 

vouchers, but she decided to continue 

her efforts and established 

the initiative. 

She was also keen to organise 

summer packs in the future,

A walk along memory lane 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

A few SPECIALISED services 

you may not know about… 

1. CHEMOTHERAPY 

The past 12 months has seen our Practice treat many 

cancer patients with Chemotherapy. We have an 

experienced, dedicated team of vets and nurses who 

really connect with these patients and their owners. 

We see referrals from other Practices and we can 

offer sound advice, deliverance of care and ongoing 

support for these patients. We often seek the advice 

from specialists when formulating the appropriate 

plans and drugs to be used. 

surgical workload and have purchased the necessary 

specialised equipment so that spinal, orthopaedic, 

soft tissue, and thoracic surgery can proceed without 

a hitch. We also can organise patients to have CT/ 

MRI scans, prior to surgery, through Pacific Radiology 

if necessary. Spinal ( CSF) taps are also carried out if 

deemed necessary for spinal/intracranial patients. 

Your vet needs to refer your pet to Helen for her expert 

opinion and surgical expertise. 

3. ENDOSCOPY 

This is a great, non invasive service which allows 

us vets to have a good look down airways into the 

lungs (can even go up nostrils) and down or up the 

gastrointestinal tract. We have just purchased a smaller 

scope to visualise the urinary system in dogs and can 

get into smaller airways. 

Triple Olympic Gold 

medallist Peter Snell gives 

a speech at the official 

opening of QE II Stadium in 

1973 to a packed audience 

in the stands. Christchurch 

mayor, Neville Pickering is 

seated behind Snell. 

Kirsty and Mauger sharing the love, after 

Mauger was in for chemotherapy to treat 

his Mast Cell Tumour. 

Chemotherapy in pets is not as aggressive as in 

humans, therefore the side effects are less. We aim for 

“Quality of Life” versus squeezing every minute out 

of living. We do aim for “complete clinical remission” 

though. Most tumours are removed initially or 

debulked and then chemo is used to reduce the risk of 

spread of cancer to other sites. We do not have access 

to radiation therapy in Christchurch. 

Side effects ( nausea, vomiting, lethargy, fever, 

diarrhoea, anorexia) can occur, but are not as severe 

as in humans as doses given are lower. We manage 

these with medications or reducing the next chemo 

drug dosage. 

Pets can still enjoy their normal foods and exercise 

whilst on chemotherapy. There are a few exceptions 

though. If your pet’s White Blood cell count gets 

too low, then avoid high density dog areas so 

disease transmission is low. Raw food diets are not 

advised during chemotherapy due to an increased 

risk of infection if the pet’s immune system comes 

compromised. It is thought a premium diet, higher in 

protein and fat/lower in carbohydrate are preferred 

and fish oil has been talked about. 

Pets DON’T lose hair like humans. After surgical clipping, 

hair regrowth can be slow but it will grow back. 

There is no risk to the owner of a pet receiving 

chemotherapy, although pregnant women should not 

handle any chemotherapy medications that are to be 

given at home. 

Our Vet Kirsty does the lion share of Chemotherapy in 

the Practice. She has a dedicated, experienced nursing 

team and these patients are all typically scheduled 

on one day. Blood work is initially done to check they 

are fit and healthy for their chemo drugs, then they 

are injected slowly via an IV line or given orally. No 

sedation drugs are usually required. It is quick, easy 

and painless for your pet. Kirsty is really passionate 

about helping your pet seek cancer remission whilst 

enjoying a full, great quality of life. She is with you 

every step of the way, answering your questions, 

especially when big decisions need to be made. 

2. SURGICAL REFERRALS 

We are now able to offer a surgical referral service 

thanks to Dr Helen Milner (a registered specialist in 

QE II Park stadium during the opening ceremony in 1973. 

Catherine and Kirsty seen here manoevering 

the endoscope to retrieve the scrunches from

coming on board 

recently. Helen sees 

referral patients from 

all over the South 

Island where they are 

typically booked for a 

1 hours consultation, 

with surgery then 

scheduled if required. 

We have built a 

dedicated sterile 

surgery and theatre 

area to cope with this 

Dr Helen Milner, 

our surgical 

specialist. 

The patient is required to be under anaesthetic but 

the procedure is fast and often effective at getting 

a diagnosis, biopsying tissue or retrieving “foreign 

bodies” which is most 

fun. Recently “Floyd”, a 4 

month old Labradoodle 

was endoscoped late 

one afternoon for 

eating “scrunchie” hair 

ties, with 6 ended up 

being retrieved via 

the endoscope. Very 

satisfying, quick and less 

expensive compared to The retrieved scrunchie 

exploratory surgery. 

4. RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY 

Our new vet “ Terryne Loney” is an expert in the field 

of dentistry, so coupled with vet Olivia who enjoys all 

things in the teeth and gum department, we are able 

to handle most dental problems and emergencies. 

Our state of the 

art dental suite 

is fully equipped 

with 2 dental 

stations, allowing 

scaling, polishing 

and extractions 

to be performed 

on 2 patients at 

the same time. 

Digital dental 

radiographs are 

very important Terryne, our new vet. 

when deciding 

what teeth need extracting, checking for cancers and 

root infections and congenital tooth abnormalities. 

We now have the veterinary skills and equipment to 

perform restorative dental care including root canal 

surgery and offering alternatives to extraction in teeth 

that are important to retain. 

For any further information on the above services 

please don’t hesitate to call or message us.

News 

Author draws on own bullying experience 

THE THIRD and final book in a 

series about bullying by Lyttelton 

cartoonist and writer, Alex 

Hallatt, is set to hit bookshops 

later this month. 

Hallatt’s inspiration for the 

books came from her time at 

primary school in England. 

“When I was bullied at school, 

it was one of the most miserable 

periods of my life. I wrote the 

books I would have liked to have 

read back then. They are stories 

that give hope and tools for 

standing up to bullying,” Hallatt 

said. 

But bullying is still a problem 

in New Zealand schools. A 2019 

Education Review Office study 

reported that 47 per cent of 

primary students had been bullied, 

while 61 per cent of primary 

students had witnessed bullying 

of others. 

Hallatt’s newest book, FAB 

Club 3 - The Big Match, follows 

on from Friends Against Bullying 

(FAB) Club and FAB Club 2 - 

Friends Against Cyberbullying. 

The first book’s theme was 

general bullying at school and 

the second book’s theme was 

online and phone bullying. 

For the third book, it was time 

for Hallatt to turn her attention 

to sport. 

“Playing sport can be fun, but 

not if you never get picked for 

the team. And what if the team 

you do get picked for has the 

world’s worst coach? A coach 

who is useless, or worse: a bully,” 

the book’s description reads. 

And not only does it relate to 

the subject of bullying among 

children; but as all of us have 

witnessed recently, some of 

the worst bullying comes from 

adults who use their positions of 

power badly. 

“Even if they are lucky enough

never to have been bullied, most 

people would prefer a world in 

which the bullies don’t come out 

on top in the end. The FAB Club 

series is that world and one we 

can aspire to be in.” 

Charity in 

need of 

donations 


THE BLANKET Bank is in need 

of donations following increased 

demand due to Covid-19. 

The charity has set up a givealittle 

page to make up the shortfall 

of warm bedding they provided to 

vulnerable families across the city. 

Due to the pandemic, usual 

donations of used bedding was 

“much more difficult” to process 

therefore monetary donations were 

much preferred. 

Charity co-ordinator Martha 

Baxendell said compared to this 

time last year, demand was higher 

than normal, reflecting job security 

in families. 

“We started the givealittle because 

we’ve had fewer donations over the 

lockdown that we couldn’t accept 

and it (donations) was incredibly low 

at this time of year,” she said. 

Donations had already been 

made, meaning the charity only 

had to turn away one person, 

instead of many. 

“Without it, we would’ve had to 

turn multiple people away.” 

The funds will be used to purchase 

new blankets, duvet, sheets 

and other warm items. 

Donations can be made to The 

Blanket Bank at: https://givealittle.

The Trusts Act 2019 - How it 

affects your Family Trust. 

Specializing in E-Cigarettes, Vaporizers and 

smoking essentials. We have the highest 

quality of E-Cigarettes and vaporizers for 

both beginners and advanced vapers. 

“If you have a family trust or act as a 

trustee, you should be aware of the changes 

to trust law which are set to come into effect 

in January 2021.” says Charlotte Grimshaw, 

an Associate at Saunders & Co Ferrymead. 

The Trusts Act 2019 aims to reform trust 

law in New Zealand by better setting out 

the core principles relating to trusts, and 

providing better rules and mechanisms for 

trust administration and dispute resolution. 

The Act requires greater transparency for 

trusts and how they are managed, including 

that trustees will now need to tell beneficiaries 

if they are a beneficiary, and must provide 

beneficiaries with trustee contact details, 

details on any change of trustees should that 

occur, and the beneficiary’s right to request 

trust information. 

The Act clearly sets out duties that 

apply to trustees that are mandatory 

(duty to act honestly, in good faith, 

and for the beneficiary’s benefit), and 

default (exercise due care and skill and 

impartiality in making decisions and 

managing trust assets). 

Settlors, trustees and those thinking of 

setting up their own family trust should 

then consider the measures required to 

comply with the increased trust obligations 

and consider altering their practices to 

ensure compliance. This may include 

refreshing knowledge of the principles of 

trusts and trustee duties, checking that 

important documentation on trust assets 

and decision-making is complete and in 

order, and ensuring the contact details of 

those involved in the trust are available. 

Having the advice of a lawyer who is 

experienced in Trust Law is beneficial in 

ensuring you are advised correctly when 

looking to set up a Trust, or in checking 

that your Trust is compliant with the latest 

trust law.

Funding boost sought for 

community organisations 

A FINANCIAL boost to help 

community organisations 

cope with the challenges of the 

Covid-19 crisis is proposed in the 

city council’s draft Annual Plan. 

The one-off $360,000 boost to 

the Strengthening Communities 

Fund would be available to 

community groups working to 

promote well-being across the 

sporting, arts, social, health and 

environmental sectors. 

The five per cent increase 

has been suggested as a way to 

acknowledge the difficulties that 

community-focused organisations 

could face following the recent 

Covid-19 level 4 lockdown, 

says city council head of community 

support and governance 

John Filsell. 

“The purpose of the Strengthening 

Communities Fund is to 

support organisations that help 

make Christchurch a more caring 

and enjoyable place to live. 

Last year, for example, the fund 

received 951 applications from 

community organisations, and 

763 received a grant. 

“We recognise the importance 

of their role and the challenges 

they are likely to face in the 

coming months, and that’s why 

we’re proposing some extra 

funding to help ensure they’re 

equipped to deal with those 

demands.” 

SUPPORT: The city council 

has proposed a $360,000 

boost to the Strengthening 

Communities Fund. 

Many of the traditional 

sources of funding for community 

groups, such as Gaming 

Trust grants, have been affected 

by Covid-19. 

If the one-off $360,000 boost 

goes ahead it would have a 0.07 

per cent impact on rates. 

Public consultation on the 

draft Annual Plan opens on Friday 

and continues until June 29. 

The Strengthening Communities 

Fund, which was set up in 

2008, is a $7.2 million fund 

distributed by community 

boards and the city council 

each year. 

THE BLACK swan, large and 

majestic, moves slowly whilst 

floating on the ponds and 

estuary. It is stunning with its 

bright orange/red bill, which is 

detailed with a white band. 

The male can weigh as much as 

7kg and while the females look the 

same, they are smaller and reach a 

maximum of 6kg in weight. 

The black swan were 

introduced from Australia, 

however, a large number selfintroduced 

themselves, and they 

are therefore classified as a New 

Zealand native bird. 

You may think that the black 

swan is a common bird in New 

Zealand, as the estuary and the 

wastewater ponds are home 

to some 1000 swans which are 

very visible. But the population 

across the entire country only 

numbers 60-70,000 birds, so we 

are lucky to have a large enough 

estuary to support as many as it 

does. 

The herbivores only eat vegetation 

submerged under shallow 

water, with seagrass being their 

favourite food, but at high tide 

they often venture grassed areas 

nearby to feed on grass. It must 

be a healthy diet as they can live 

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a 

non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s most 

important coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a new bird found in the 

estuary. Her column aims to raise the understanding of the values and uniqueness 

of the area. 

Black swan thriving on estuary 

PROTECTION: The black swan thrives on the Avon-Heathcote 

estuary and can live up to 30 years. 

PHOTO: GETTY 

up to the age of 30 years! 

Pairs will mate for life but live 

in a flock of many other pairs 

until its nesting time from July 

onwards when they separate to 

build large nests made up from 

sticks, debris and dead leaves 

formed into a large floating 

mount or nest on the islands in 

the ponds. 

I am sure you too have observed 

with delight the string 

of swan with the male upfront, 

followed by five or six fluffy grey 

cygnets with the female keeping 

an eye on them all at the back. 

Be careful not to disturb 

swan as they can be aggressive 

towards predators (including us 

humans) and vulnerable during 

their moult in January and February 

when they are flightless 

for about a month. 

What can we do to help the 

majestic swan thrive? Keep up 

healthy water quality in our 

rivers and the estuary to ensure 

vegetation growth to feed this 

many birds. 

Check what goes down your 

drains, for example, rinse your 

paintbrushes in the sink as 

that wastewater will be treated, 

not outside where it may flow 

straight from stormwater drains 

into our rivers and then the 

estuary which is detrimental to 

water quality.

HOME & HEATING 

Ground moisture barrier 

under low sub-floor 

Now with the colder and wetter weather on 

its way, home owners are focusing on ways 

to make their homes comfortable, warm 

and healthy for their families throughout 

winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects 

many of our older properties which suffer 

from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier. 

In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many 

people have relocated to homes that suffer 

from rising damp which can be associated 

with health problems. Independent tests have 

shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise 

from the ground and enter a house every day, 

leading to mildew, mould, condensation and 

musty smells. Moulds can produce various 

allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and 

very young are especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a 

locally owned and operated firm. The team 

understands the problems caused by rising 

damp and are there to help. They will come 

to your damp home and pump a lightweight, 

flowable foam concrete under your timber 

floored home. 

While insulation is important, it has been 

recognised that it is dampness that is the real 

villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes 

Standards introduced by the government 

effective from the 1st July 2019 now has 

a requirement to install ground moisture 

barriers, a key element in the armory to fight 

moisture in the home. 

Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a 

report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under 

Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed 

the effects of placing Foam Concrete over 

damp soil and had this to say: Condensation 

on the underside of a timber floor can occur 

where the floor is suspended over damp 

ground and the inside air temperature falls 

close to the crawl space air temperature. 

Much energy is required to vaporize moisture 

that penetrates the structure. By avoiding 

underfloor condensation, foam concrete can 

reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%. 

• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most 

cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier 

under the suspended wooden floor of your 

home, even when there is no crawl space. 

• BRANZ Appraised; Appraisal Number 961 

• Members of the Insulation Association of 

New Zealand. 

• We offer a free measure and quote in the 

Canterbury region with no obligations. 

• Assessments can be made in all other 

regions by arrangement. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete 

Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote 

and complimentary appraisal of your 

underfloor ground moisture barrier needs.

Zone Control for your 

ducted heat pump 

Ducted heat pumps are a highly efficient 

way to heat (or cool) your home. The 

air from the heat pump is ducted to 

several rooms or zones in your house. 

Using a zone control system makes your 

ducted heat pump even more efficient, by 

specifying the amount of heat required 

in each area, so not wasting energy to 

overheat or overcool any room. 

The AirTouch4 zone control system 

from Smooth-Air takes ducted heat pump 

air zoning to a whole new level of comfort 

and energy efficiency. 

AirTouch4 - The Ultimate Zone 

Control 

Have total control of your comfort zone: 

AirTouch4 lets everyone enjoy a different 

level of conditioned air in the room they 

are in. 

Save money on the power 

bill, without compromising on 

comfort, by only running the 

heating or cooling where you 

need it with Smart Zoning. 

Plus with runtime tracking, 

energy and airflow management 

technology, you can enjoy greater 

efficiency and savings from your 

family’s ducted heat pump. 

60 

The AirTouch4 can 

% 

also 

connect to Google Home and 

Amazon Alexa. 

Not every home is designed 

equal. Not every room is either. 

Temperatures can often fluctuate from 

one room to the next because of sunlight, 

room activity or other factors. 

With AirTouch4’s Individual 

Temperature Control Technology (ITC), 

the AirTouch monitors temperatures 

and smartly adjusts airflow as needed 

around your home with the aid of multiple 

wireless temperature sensors instead of a 

single sensor in one location. When some 

rooms get too hot or cold, the AirTouch 

will adjust airflow to maintain your desired 

temperature, without wasting conditioned 

air on rooms already comfortable. 

Contact Smooth-Air on 0800

zone control.
