Mother’s desperate bid for family
holiday – but time is running out
• By Bea Gooding
DANNI RASMUSSEN fears
time with her terminally ill son
is quickly running out.
The Avonside mother always
dreamed of travelling all over
the country, making memories
as a family of four before it was
too late, and now that dream is
almost coming true.
Last year, her eldest son Alize
won a family trip to the Gold
Coast in a competition run by
radio station MoreFM for the
kindness he showed his younger
brother, Andre, who has periventricular
leukomalacia – a terminal
brain injury caused by a lack
of oxygen to the brain – among
other complications.
Covid-19 ground those plans
to a halt this year, which was why
Ms Rasmussen believed it was
the perfect time to embark on
the road trip of her dreams – but
sourcing funding for it was a different
story.
“I’ve always wanted to travel
with the children and do something
as a family, but I wanted
to wait until they got older,” she
said.
“We almost lost him [Andre]
– I got to his room and he was
completely purple. I thought it
was his time to pass away.”
The life-threatening incident
happened three weeks ago which
she said put things into perspective.
“But he eventually started
breathing again. A lot of things
came into realisation at that point
so we’ve decided to do the trip in
September before it’s too late.”
She has set up a givealittle page
to cover the costs of the four-week
trip, needing at least $10,000 for
transport, accommodation food
and any costs associated with
Andre’s medical equipment.
LOVE: Danni
Rasmussen holds
Andre, 4, with Avie
Avana, 2, and Alize,

embark on a family
road trip.

She said the goal alone was
at a minimum, which did not
account for activities and any
unexpected costs along the way.

Community hub ‘filling a gap’
for families in Mairehau
• By Bea Gooding
A NEW community hub will
soon open its doors in Mairehau,
following an increased need for
physical and social support in
the area.
The Neighbourhood Trust
is in the process of revamping
their former Pay It Forward store
premises to make room for The
Whanau Centre.
It comes at a time when community
organisations have been
scrambling to pivot their services
to better support the increasing
number of people facing unemployment
and other hardships
due to Covid-19.
Said the trust’s community
development worker Don Benn:
“The Whanau Centre provides
a physical presence for The
Neighbourhood Trust to operate
in the heart of Mairehau, which
has seen an increased need for
community connection since the
lockdown.
“Accessibility is a big factor for
people needing some help, and
the centre will make it easier for
families to reach.”
During the lockdown, the
organisation delivered food

Dodge and Angela Sanderson, of The Neighbourhood Trust
who are about to open a new community hub in Mairehau.
packages to families and vulnerable
people in need, but Mr Benn
said “hand-outs” were not a long
term solution.
Even though the service is
essential, he believed having a
permanent facility was more
beneficial in the long run, such
as providing the opportunity for
people to build important skills.
Said Mr Benn: “With support
from the council, we can provide
services such as food packages,
a community garden project to
help families be more in control
of fresh fruit and vegetable production,
a drop-in centre where
people can share their burdens
and potentially be referred to
places for more specific help.
“We’d love to see an opportunity
for driver licensing classes
to occur as well as work-ready
skills like preparing CVs, interviewing
skills and dressing for
interviews.”
The project has been in the
works since January this year,
which Mr Benn believed was
“filling a gap” in the Mairehau
community.
The trust’s former Pay It
Forward store previously sold
locally handcrafted goods, with
its proceeds being fed back into
community projects.
But with the premises now
vacated, they believed it was a
perfect opportunity to utilise the
space and get the project off the
ground which will be ready to
enjoy by the end of August.
“Covid-19 has really accentuated
the need for community
connection. Loss of jobs and
hours of work means that people
are needing extra support at this
time,” he said.
“Although we are at level 1
again, the ongoing effects last
longer, so The Whanau Centre
is an ideal location to offer that
support.”
In Brief
ROADING UPGRADE
The full reconstruction of
Warden St between Petrie St
and Hills Rd, Richmond, is set
to be completed by next year.
New drainage, footpaths, road
resurfacing, kerbs, channels
and berms will be installed. The
aim of this work is to repair
earthquake damage and improve
traffic safety for road users.
TRAFFIC LIGHT CONCERNS
Concerns have been raised
by residents regarding the
signalised intersection at Ferry
Rd, Rutherford St and Palinurus
Rd, at the latest Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board meeting. Their main
concern is the timing of the
turning arrow when attempting
to turn right, believing it was
not long enough to allow more
than one car to pass. The board
is seeking advice from the city
council “as a matter of urgency.”
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
The New Brighton Community
Gardens is seeking new trust
members to help the gardens
continue to operate in the
community. They are looking for
volunteers who have an interest
in gardening and sustainability
or have governance and financial
experience. Phone Michele on
388 0192 for more information.

‘I love them so much and I’m
never giving up on my children’
School holiday fun
Lee Patterson, 11, of Shirley, with husky dog
Shackleton at the International Antarctic
Centre.
• From page 1
“It’s important that we can
have those fun memories with
him anywhere in our homeland
especially when he’s not with us
anymore,” she said.
“There will be nothing worse
than going to do those things
and feeling that he missed out.”
In 2015 Ms Rasmussen was
overjoyed to learn she was pregnant
with triplets.
That joy quickly turned sour
when a raft of complications
arose, causing the loss of one
of her babies during early pregnancy,
with the other two babies
born prematurely at 24 weeks.
The twins were “fighting for
their lives” following an emergency
Caesarean, but weighing
in at 345gm, baby Ace did not
survive.
Andre clung to life weighing
890gm, undergoing serious
operations to keep him alive,
but he developed PVL while in
the neonatal intensive care unit
which caused brain damage, and
was also born with chronic lung
disease and epilepsy.

“It’s horrible watching him
suffer,” she said.
Raising Alize, Andre and
Avie Avana as a single mother
of three was “very exhausting”
at times, but the love she felt for
them was what kept her going.
“As soon as I became a mum,
I knew what I wanted to do in
life,” she said.
“I’m doing the best I can, I
want to be a good role model;
I love them so much and I’m
never giving up on my
children.”

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.
Protecting chicks makes
kingfisher aggressive
THE COLOURFUL little
kingfisher are found at several
sites around our estuary.
They prefer to perch rather
than walk on the ground on
mudflats.
You will see them on rocks,
logs, jetties and even washing
lines.
They eat insects, lizards and
mice but mainly crabs which they
return to their perch where they
batter the legs off before swallowing
the main body.
Pellets of indigestible remains
are regurgitated and you will see
these, together with piles of crab
legs on and near rocks when you
walk along the South New Brighton
jetty, which is a favourite dinner
table for these birds.
They may be a small bird but
are absolutely fearlessly aggressive
when protecting chicks and will
attack other birds coming too
close and even dive-bomb mammals
such as cats and dogs.
They nest inside trees and sand

EQC and insurance
claims – still relevant
to property purchases
Charlotte Grimshaw,
Associate at Saunders & Co reports:
Conveyancing in Christchurch and
Canterbury can be a trickier task than in other
parts of New Zealand due to the Canterbury
Earthquakes and their effect on the process.
Unless you are buying a property that was built
post quakes, you need to be aware of what
damage occurred from the quake events, and
whether it has been repaired.
To assist the sale process, a seller should be
able to provide a prospective purchaser with
information on all claims including scope(s)
of damage and evidence of repairs such as
sign offs by EQC/ Fletcher Building and their
contractors for a managed repair, or payout
letters and invoices for repairs completed
(where cash settled and the seller organized
the repairs). The same should be provided for
land and insurance claims.
If any repairs are outstanding, it is important
for purchasers to be informed of what
remains unrepaired and whether the vendor
will be crediting the funds paid out for the
repairs on settlement or not. Providing
such information is also helpful for aiding
purchasers in being able to obtain satisfactory
insurance cover and finance.
If buying or selling an “as is where is
property” (where no repairs have been
completed and all benefits under the
claims are being retained by the seller), it is
especially important for both parties to seek
legal advice on the contents of any Agreement
for Sale and Purchase before entering it, and
the implications of the uncompleted repairs.
It is also now the standard process for non
“as is where is” property sales for remaining
rights in EQC claims to be assigned by
the seller to purchaser on settlement via a
document called a Deed of Assignment.
This Deed informs EQC about the transfer
of the property and who is taking over
any remaining benefit in the EQC claims
lodged for the property from the settlement
date. Having rights assigned then allows
purchasers to deal with EQC regarding such
claims in the future, such as settling unsettled
claims or dealing with further quake damage
if found.

Changing the perception of libraries
MIKE MORONEY is on a
mission to change people’s
perceptions of libraries – and
librarians.
He has launched a new library
interview series, The Unlikely
Librarian, which features conversations
with local writers in
equally unlikely locations.
Award-winning author, performer
and poet Ben Brown will
be the first to feature in the series
which kicks off next month,
where book lovers will also be
able to soak up the conversation
in person.
For Mr Moroney, of Linwood,
it was an opportunity to reach a
younger age group – particularly
men – who may not realise all
the resources and facilities that a
library can offer.
“I wanted to get out and about
among the community and find
a way to engage people and stoke
interest in our libraries, along
with sharing fantastic works by
some of our best local writers,”
he said.
“There are so many creatives
living in my own neighbourhood
that I thought ‘why not start the
conversation in Lyttelton with a
poet and award-winning writer
and try out a friendly approach.”
Mr Moroney said people were
often surprised to learn he was
a librarian, and he wanted this
series to remind people that
librarians come in many guises.
“It is also an opportunity for
people to see that librarians
come in many guises. For example,
I am over six feet, covered
in tattoos and have a very bushy
beard,” he said.
“On meeting me, people are
often surprised when I say I am
a librarian. In my past life, I was
a chef but the everyday stress
prompted a fantastic career
restart two years ago.”
The first session will be held at
Lyttelton’s Civil and Naval bar,
where he hoped to host 60min
conversations with various creatives
over the next few months
across locations in Christchurch.
Said city council head of
libraries and information
Carolyn Robertson: “We want
to highlight the importance of
fresh spaces to spark fresh conversations
on the evolving role of

libraries – and librarians.
“Our ‘unlikely librarian’ is a
gifted talker and knows how to
share a good story with our burgeoning
library audience.
“We hope to make the most
of a casual atmosphere where
people can sit back and take in a
creative approach to ‘our library’
in a non-traditional setting.”
Among Brown’s most popular
works are a memoir, A Fish in
the Swim of the World, an awardwinning
children’s book, A
Booming in the Night – illustrated
by Helen Taylor – and a book
of poems, Between the Kindling
and the Blaze: Reflections on the
Concept of Mana.
“We will talk about Ben’s work,
the creative process, and the role
of libraries in connecting to his
audience,” said Mr Moroney.

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
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 of their joints.
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. The images show
how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder
blade can give a deep pain in the front of
the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way
near the groin can give an ache in the knee
(especially at night in bed).
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.
The same lack of movement can be the
reason for your knee pain or your shoulder
pain and the same few treatments could
make a huge difference for you.
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 joint, strengthen the important core
muscles and increase general strength and
SHOULDER
PAIN
KNEE PAIN
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)
balance. They teach a movement sequence
that stretches the joint 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 to stay on top of the problem.
HIP PAIN
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. After only one treatment you
should know that it will work for you. Call
them before 31 July and save $50.00 on
that treatment
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the
door and there is ample parking. To enquire about joint pain treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

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.

Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote
and complimentary appraisal of your
underfloor ground moisture barrier needs.

What makes a great
Heat Transfer System?
There are a number of Heat Transfer
systems on the market. Smooth-Air
ventilation specialists offer a range of
HTU Heat Transfer Units with carefully
selected components to optimise the
system:
They use insulated duct to transfer
the heated air with as little heat loss as
possible. The fan moves sufficient air
for the distance and number of rooms,
without being noisy. The diffusers send
the heat to the floor, not to skim the
across the ceilings. All components are
good quality - designed to operate for
years without problems.
Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range
of options: One to four rooms, with or
without thermostat and with a choice
of grilles and diffusers. HTUs improve
energy efficiency in your house, as you are
using excess heat. They have low power
consumption - only 80watts for the three
room system. Circulating air through the
house also reduces the risk of damp.
You can also choose the HTU version
with downjet diffusers, which throw the
warm air downwards to the floor. These
downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to
regulate which room receives the most
warm air.
An average size living room requires 2-4
kw of heating, yet appliances such as log
burners generate heat in the region of 10
-20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of
heat which sits at high level in the heated
room, usually above door level.
Heat transfer units work best where very
hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the
ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate
warm air around the room with no
layering, are not suitable as a heat source
by themselves. However, if you have both
log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer
systems with thermostat can work very
well: The heat pump stops operating once
the heat from the fire has heated the room,
and the heat transfer kicks in above this
point, once there is a layer of hot air at the
ceiling.
