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 


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.

charity, visit: www.facebook.

Cashmere coach wins 

top international award 


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 


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 

The revolution

is here now! 

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

Catherine and Kirsty seen here manoevering 

the endoscope to retrieve the scrunches from 

Floyd’s stomach. 

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.

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.

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

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. 

Contact Smooth-Air on 0800

zone control.
