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
• By Bea Gooding
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

coming on board

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

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.

please don’t hesitate to call or message us.

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

which the bullies don’t come out

series is that world and one we
can aspire to be in.”
Charity in
need of
donations
• By Bea Gooding
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

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.

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.

zone control.
