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

Andre, 4, with Avie<br />
Avana, 2, and Alize,<br />
11, who will soon<br />
embark on a family<br />
road trip.<br />

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

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

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

“It’s horrible watching him<br />
suffer,” she said.<br />
Raising Alize, Andre and<br />
Avie Avana as a single mother<br />
of three was “very exhausting”<br />
at times, but the love she felt for<br />
them was what kept her going.<br />
“As soon as I became a mum,<br />
I knew what I wanted to do in<br />
life,” she said.<br />

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the<br />
Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a<br />
non-profit organisation formed in 2002<br />
to protect one of New Zealand’s most<br />
important coastal wetlands. Each week<br />
she introduces a new bird found in the<br />
estuary. Her column aims to raise the understanding<br />
of the values and uniqueness of the area.<br />
Protecting chicks makes<br />
kingfisher aggressive<br />
THE COLOURFUL little<br />
kingfisher are found at several<br />
sites around our estuary.<br />
They prefer to perch rather<br />
than walk on the ground on<br />
mudflats.<br />
You will see them on rocks,<br />
logs, jetties and even washing<br />
lines.<br />
They eat insects, lizards and<br />
mice but mainly crabs which they<br />
return to their perch where they<br />
batter the legs off before swallowing<br />
the main body.<br />
Pellets of indigestible remains<br />
are regurgitated and you will see<br />
these, together with piles of crab<br />
legs on and near rocks when you<br />
walk along the South New Brighton<br />
jetty, which is a favourite dinner<br />
table for these birds.<br />
They may be a small bird but<br />
are absolutely fearlessly aggressive<br />
when protecting chicks and will<br />
attack other birds coming too<br />
close and even dive-bomb mammals<br />
such as cats and dogs.<br />
They nest inside trees and sand<br />

cliffs where they repeatedly fly<br />
at the site and slowly chisel out<br />

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

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

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

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />
could it be mainly my muscles?<br />
The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham<br />
sees clients with a range of symptoms but<br />
many of their middle-aged and senior clients<br />
visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.<br />
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />
that a major part of the pain could be due<br />
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />
for the pain may be the muscles around<br />
the joint,” she explains. The images show<br />
how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back<br />
muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain<br />
are the red areas in the drawings), a knot<br />
in a muscle on the back of the shoulder<br />
blade can give a deep pain in the front of<br />
the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way<br />
near the groin can give an ache in the knee<br />
(especially at night in bed).<br />
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year<br />
old client with severe arthritis who walked<br />
with a stick, told her, “I will end up in<br />
a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight<br />
through my right leg due to pain in my hip<br />
and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she<br />
was walking with her stick but without the<br />
severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was<br />
one of the factors that made her muscles<br />
spasm but the other was that older people<br />
move less and the flexed position the hip<br />
is in when we sit is particularly bad for<br />
the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that<br />
although the client was 89 and could have<br />
been “given up on” or told to live with the<br />
pain, she made a difference to her health<br />
and wellbeing.<br />
The same lack of movement can be the<br />
reason for your knee pain or your shoulder<br />
pain and the same few treatments could<br />
make a huge difference for you.<br />
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<br />
techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />
The client also gets a home exercise<br />
program designed to mobilize and stretch<br />
the joint, strengthen the important core<br />
muscles and increase general strength and<br />
SHOULDER<br />
PAIN<br />
KNEE PAIN<br />
(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />
balance. They teach a movement sequence<br />
that stretches the joint in all directions<br />
whilst the client is able to lie safely on their<br />
bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.<br />
In many cases having the muscles<br />
released and being taught how to maintain<br />
it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.<br />
HIP PAIN<br />
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,<br />
some maintenance therapy may be<br />
necessary, but that is often more affordable<br />
and, for older patients, better tolerated<br />
than surgery. After only one treatment you<br />
should know that it will work for you. Call<br />
them before 31 <strong>July</strong> and save $50.00 on<br />
that treatment<br />
Physical Sense Gym and Physio is located at 300 Colombo Street, Sydenham. The Blue Line Bus stops in front of the<br />
door and there is ample parking. To enquire about joint pain treatment, phone 377-2577 or visit www.triggerpoints.co.nz

HOME & HEATING<br />
Ground moisture barrier<br />
under low sub-floor<br />
Now with the colder and wetter weather on<br />
its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />
to make their homes comfortable, warm<br />
and healthy for their families throughout<br />
winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects<br />
many of our older properties which suffer<br />
from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.<br />
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many<br />
people have relocated to homes that suffer<br />
from rising damp which can be associated<br />
with health problems. Independent tests have<br />
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise<br />
from the ground and enter a house every day,<br />
leading to mildew, mould, condensation and<br />
musty smells. Moulds can produce various<br />
allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and<br />
very young are especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a<br />
locally owned and operated firm. The team<br />
understands the problems caused by rising<br />
damp and are there to help. They will come<br />
to your damp home and pump a lightweight,<br />
flowable foam concrete under your timber<br />
floored home.<br />
While insulation is important, it has been<br />
recognised that it is dampness that is the real<br />
villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes<br />
Standards introduced by the government<br />
effective from the 1st <strong>July</strong> 2019 now has<br />
a requirement to install ground moisture<br />
barriers, a key element in the armory to fight<br />
moisture in the home.<br />
Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a<br />
report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under<br />
Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed<br />
the effects of placing Foam Concrete over<br />
damp soil and had this to say: Condensation<br />
on the underside of a timber floor can occur<br />
where the floor is suspended over damp<br />
ground and the inside air temperature falls<br />
close to the crawl space air temperature.<br />
Much energy is required to vaporize moisture<br />
that penetrates the structure. By avoiding<br />
underfloor condensation, foam concrete can<br />
reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.<br />
• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most<br />
cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier<br />
under the suspended wooden floor of your<br />
home, even when there is no crawl space.<br />

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

they can help you with your Heat<br />
Transfer, as well as any other ventilation<br />
