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.”

Helping the homeless
• By Bea Gooding
TWELVE-YEAR-OLD
Javahna Page is determined
to keep Christchurch’s
homeless community
warm this winter.
The young 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.
WARM HEARTED: Javahna Page, 12, has started
a charity dedicated towards keeping homeless
people in Christchurch warm during the winter.
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, donating to
homeless shelters in the city once she
had everything needed.
Said Javahna’s mother, Michelle
Page: “I think it’s more
important now more than
ever due to this lockdown,
we’re going to see the cost of
living rise for a while which
could make more people
homeless or unable to afford
certain things.
“I feel like the proudest
mother on the planet that
my daughter would think of
doings this let alone start the
motion.
“If we could all have a bit
more kindness rather than
judgement, our country could
heal a little faster.”
Javahna largely relied on
public donations and said
she would be grateful for any
items small enough to fit in a bag,
and fresh vegetables for the soups.

how to donate to Javahna’s
charity, visit: www.facebook.

Cashmere coach wins
top international award
• By Bea Gooding
Sue Williams
A CASHMERE High School
teacher’s passion for coaching
the next generation of problem
solvers has been internationally
recognised this month.
Future Problem Solving Coach
Sue Williams was awarded
the Keith Frampton Memorial
Award for being this year’s International
Coach of the Year.
The subject studied topics
which were important to humanity
and were usually set in the
next 25 years – anything between
the importance of coral reefs,
the use of drones to the justice
system in the future.
The nominations and award
took the Merivale teacher by
surprise.
“It was a complete surprise
and it blew me away, but it’s an
honour,” she said.
Mrs Williams has taught at the
school for nine years and said
challenging students to think
deeper and broadening their
curiosity was a rewarding part of
the job.
“I like how it retains curiosity
in kids, they can look broadly at
big topics in a range of perspectives,”
she said.
“And you’re not telling them
what to think, you’re teaching
them how to think.”
Mrs Williams has been a coach
and mentor across six schools in
the city and is currently on the
National Administration Board
for Future Problem Solving NZ.
She originally wanted to be a
scientist, but being a teacher allowed
her to mix knowledge and
her love of people in a role she
enjoyed.
Her current group of problem
solvers were meant to compete
in Massachusetts, United States
at the FPS International World
Finals, but it was held virtually
due to Covid-19.
One topic was about how to
make an uninhabitable place –
like in space – into a sustainable
environment for the human
population.
The programme also taught
students important writing and
scenario performance skills
which turned ideas into organised
solutions; identify underlying
problems in communities
today.
It was because of this that she
believed young people should get
involved and challenge themselves.
“They are the next generation
of this planet and it enables them
to engage with the future in a
productive way.”
Rotary helps create
community space
ROTARY CLUBS across the city
have joined forces to develop a
dedicated garden and market
space in Cashmere.
The overgrown pocket of land
will be developed on the grounds
of disability service provider
Hohepa Canterbury and was
made possible by the Rotary Clubs
of Riccarton, Hornby, Papanui,
Cashmere and Christchurch
Sunrise.
The area became overrun
and unusable following the
earthquakes, therefore Hohepa
Canterbury decided to construct
a pathway and reflection garden -
but was struggling with funding.
Said the Rotary Club of Riccarton
president Greg Cayford:
“We will be sharing with, and
working alongside residents, day
community members, parents and
staff who may choose to engage
with the project.
“This project is highlighting that
there are many connections already
established between Rotary
clubs, individual members and
with Hohepa Canterbury.”
Hohepa Canterbury provides
support to 130 special needs
children and adults with an
intellectual disability to live fully
engaged lives.
They offer diverse living
options, learning and activity
programs, community participation,
and therapies inspired by
anthroposophy - a holistic philosophy
encompassing the planet,
the people and spiritual essence.
One of anthroposophy’s key
teachings is that physical wellbeing
is enhanced by creating
physical environments for work
and living that provide a positive
experience.
Aside from providing the
campus with a “welcoming, visually
appealing streetscape,” the
stream boundary was integral
to the well-being of the Hohepa
community.
The area’s mature trees will
be enhanced by green space and
plantings, providing a natural
area for reflection.
The gathering space will host activities
such as market stalls selling
Hohepa farm goods and seasonal
activities such as carol singing.
“As meetings have been held
between Rotary representatives
and the Hohepa team, it has
become clear that there are
further enhancements we can
develop together as the project
progresses and nears completion,”
said Mr Cayford.

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.
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.co.nz/cause/blanket-bank

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

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.
Traffic congestion on the Colombo St railway bridge at the intersection with
Moorhouse Ave, Sydenham in 1961.
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
Small Animal Surgery)
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

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

fun. Recently “Floyd”, a 4

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

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.

We now have the veterinary skills and equipment to

that are important to retain.

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.

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.

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.
