New charity 

for vision loss 

community 

• By Bea Gooding 

AFTER BEING diagnosed with 

eye conditions causing gradual 

vision loss, Chrissie Whitfield 

struggled to find a place for 

emotional support. 

Her experiences following 

diagnosis inspired her to found 

#Blindsided NZ, a charity to 

connect people affected by vision 

loss together to share stories, exchange 

information and provide 

referrals to other agencies. 

The Somerfield resident is 

now raising funds to set up the 

initiative as a charitable trust in 

order to provide a free service 

to those accessing the support. 

“When I was diagnosed, it 

was difficult to know where to 

go. I ended up searching for 

groups around NZ but there 

weren’t any,” she said. 

Diagnosed initially with mild 

macular degeneration - where 

the central portion of the retina 

wears down - she did not respond 

to treatment. 

She went to another specialist 

and was later diagnosed with 

central serous chorioretinopathy; 

a build-up of fluid causing 

further vision loss. 

She said her eye conditions 

were caused by consistent use of 

steroids which helped manage 

her asthma. 

“I was terrified. I’ve never 

gotten the eyesight back that 

I lost, but there have been 

improvements after months of 

lasers and injections,” she said. 

“My mother was diagnosed 

in the late 70s with macular 

degeneration and her vision is 

poor. She’s been providing me 

with lots of support, she’s my 

role model.” 

Ms Whitfield currently ran 

a support group online under 

the same name and had met 

members from around the 

country going through a similar 

journey. 

It was a place to ask 

questions and offered hope and 

friendship as well as a place to 

find important resources about 

various eye conditions.

through the cracks in the vision loss community.

Housing agency finds ways 

to better support community 

KĀINGA ORA supported more 

than 42,000 people through 

wellbeing calls during Covid-19, 

prompting the Government 

agency to change the way it 

works with them. 

With workers unable to be 

in the community, they fielded 

thousands of calls to check up on 

those in public housing. 

Because of this, they are 

working to understand the root 

causes impacting people’s ability 

to live well in their homes, moving 

away from a transactional 

approach to one focused on being 

kind and compassionate 

For Shirley, hearing a familiar 

voice during lockdown was 

enough to help her get through. 

“I do spend time alone when I’m 

home because, sadly, I don’t see 

much of my family,” she said. 

“Hearing a friendly voice on 

the phone, simply asking ‘How 

are you?’, was lovely.” 

She was contacted by her 

tenancy manager, Renee, when 

Covid-19 meant the Kāinga Ora 

team could not spend the time 

in their communities as they 

ordinarily would. 

Other benefits to keeping in 

touch more often meant Shirley 

let Renee know about a fall that

had affected her mobility. 

The agency was able to put 

things in motion as lockdown 

restrictions ease, arranging for 

an occupational therapist to visit 

her home to advise on modifications 

to make it easier for her to 

get around. 

Kāinga Ora supports more 

than 200,000 people in more than 

65,000 homes across the country. 

Many have wide-ranging needs, 

from financial assistance to mental 

health support. 

As of June, more than 42,000 

people had been spoken with, 

3,800 people had received direct 

financial support and hundreds 

helped with food or medical 

needs. 

Financial capability training 

packages for Kāinga Ora’s 

customer-facing roles were also 

being developed. 

Kāinga Ora is making 

changes to the way it serves its 

tenants later this year, with a 

differentiated service response 

tailored to individual needs and 

to ensure they have timely and 

positive engagement with the 

organisation. 

Vision loss charity 

aims to fill a gap 

• From page 1 

“Some people don’t understand 

the impact of losing that vision is 

on your life, and not being able to 

do the things you love anymore,” 

she said. 

“I’m a strong person, but I 

balled my eyes out. I had all these 

plans - what did this mean now?” 

Her vision for #Blindsided 

NZ as a charity was to provide 

that same level of support, but 

having a charitable status meant 

they could apply for funding and 

grants. 

Having the extra funding 

meant that they could also 

provide low vision assessments, 

coaching and referrals to established 

agencies in conjunction 

with the emotional support. 

Said Ms Whitfield: “Moving 

forward, various clinics, DHBs 

and agencies across the country 

will work with #Blindsided NZ as 

a trusted partner to ensure that 

clients have end-to-end support 

throughout their journey. 

“We aim to fill a gap in the vision 

loss client pathway from prediagnosis 

to supported living and 

beyond; we don’t want anyone 

falling through the cracks.” 

Chrissie Whitfield 

She encouraged people to donate 

to the cause because “every 

single one of us knows someone 

with vision loss.” 

“If people don’t have emotional 

support, they can’t move forward 

and are caught in a life of negativity 

and fear.”

NEW RELEASES 

Tooth and Veil 

the life and times of the new Zealand dental nurse 

by noel o’hare 

The story of the young women charged with waging war on our nation’s 

poor teeth. In 1921, when the School Dental Service was established, New 

Zealand embarked on a unique social experiment: 

improving the terrible state of the nation’s teeth. Set up by veterans of the 

First World War, the service — focused on ‘battling Bertie Germ’ — 

was run like a military operation and the all-female dental nurses were 

treated like foot-soldiers: underpaid, overworked and poorly resourced. 

Eventually they rebelled. 

In this lively history, Noel O’Hare details the nurses’ experiences on the 

front line of dental health, and explores what that reveals. about our 

society’s attitudes to women, work and children’s health. 

Know Your Place 

by Golriz Ghahraman 

The story of a child refugee who faced her fears, found her home and 

accidentally made history when she was just nine, Golriz Ghahraman 

and her parents were forced to flee their home in Iran. After a terrifying and 

uncertain journey, they landed in Auckland where they were able to seek 

asylum and - ultimately - create a new life. 

In this open and intimate account, Ghahraman talks about making a home 

in Aotearoa New Zealand, her work as a human rights lawyer, her United 

Nations missions, and how she became the first refugee to be elected to the 

New Zealand Parliament. 

Passionate and unflinching, Know Your Place is a story about breaking 

barriers, and the daily challenges of prejudice that shape the lives of women 

and minorities. At its heart, it’s about overcoming fear, about family, and 

about finding a place to belong. 

The Splendid and the Vile 

a saga of Churchill, Family and defiance during the Blitz 

By erik larson 

A brilliant account of how Britain’s most iconic leader set about unifying 

the nation at its most vulnerable moment. 

Larson follows Churchill as prime minister through the fraught meetings 

and air raids of London’s darkest year, and Churchill as family man 

into his home, where tensions were just as complicated. Drawing on 

once-secret intelligence reports and diaries, The Splendid and the Vile 

takes readers back to a time of true leadership, when a leader of strategic 

brilliance and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together. 

Katipo Joe – Blitzkrieg 

by Brian Falkner 

Young Joe is living in pre-WWII Berlin, with his British father and NZ 

mother, attending school and witnessing the excitement of his friends 

who are enthusiastically joining the Hitler Youth Movement. Joe feels 

uncomfortable with the growing mistreatment of local Jews, and after the 

arrest of his father as a spy, he is forced to escape from Berlin with his 

mother. Joe is separated from his mother and evacuated to New Zealand, 

and, while war looms in Europe, he is frustrated by his distance from the 

action, and his inability to do anything about finding his father. After a 

harrowing route back to Europe, Joe attempts to infiltrate the Hitler Youth 

movement in Germany while at the same time searching for his mother 

and father in wartime Berlin. 

One Two Three Four: The Beatles in Time 

by Craig Brown 

On April 10th 2020, it will be exactly 50 years since Paul McCartney 

announced the break-up of the Beatles. At that point, we will be at the 

same distance in time from 1970 as 1970 was from 1920, the year Al 

Jolson’s ‘Swanee’ was the bestselling record and Gustav Holst composed 

The Planets. The Beatles continue to occupy a position unique in popular 

culture. They have entered people’s minds in a way that did not occur 

before, and has not occurred since. Their influence extended way beyond 

the realm of music to fashion, politics, class, religion and ethics. Countless 

books have doggedly catalogued the minutiae of The Beatles. If you want 

to know the make of George Harrison’s first car you will always be able to 

find the answer (a second hand, two-door, blue Ford Anglia 105E Deluxe, 

purchased from Brian Epstein’s friend Terry Doran, who worked at a 

dealership in Warrington). Before she met John Lennon, who was the only 

Beatle Yoko Ono could name, and why? Ringo. Because ‘ringo’ means 

‘apple’ in Japanese. All very interesting, but there is, as yet, no book about 

The Beatles that combines the intriguing minutiae of their day-to-day lives 

with broader questions about their effect – complicated and fascinating – 

on the world around them, their contemporaries, and generations to come.

Photographer’s historic 

collection now online 

IMAGES OF the early 

1900s taken from a 

collection of fragile 

photographic glass plates 

are now in focus on 

the Christchurch City 

Libraries’ digital heritage 

site, Canterbury Stories. 

More than 700 images 

of the city from the 

1000-strong collection 

are online, with the rest 

appearing on the site over 

the next few weeks. It is the 

first time that the images 

are accessible to the public. 

Early Antigua Boat 

Sheds owner Samuel 

Anstey – believed to be 

responsible for the glassplate 

negatives – bought 

the building on the banks 

of the Avon River in the 

late 1800s, advertising that 

he had “70 well-built boats 

to choose from” and a 

“photographic dark room 

for the use of visitors.” 

Fendalton-based Anstey, 

an English surveyor who 

arrived New Zealand in 

THE FANTAIL is surely 

one of the most well 

known and loved birds. 

Who does not enjoy 

watching this tiny bird 

with its distinctive fanned 

tail, happy chattering and 

curiosity causing it to 

come within arm’s reach? 

You may have even been 

lucky enough to have seen 

a black fantail, which only 

make up five per cent of 

the fantails. Don’t let 

them scare you when you 

do see one, it really is only 

a myth when you hear that 

they are harbingers of bad 

luck. 

Both male and female 

share the task of incubating 

the eggs but as soon 

as they hatch the female 

will leave it up to the male 

to feed the chicks, as she 

will leave to start building 

another nest for the next 

clutch of eggs. 

When the chicks from 

the first nest can fend for 

themselves the male will 

find her and share incubation, 

followed by feeding 

the chicks and so on and 

so on. They can nest up to 

four times every season. 

Note that the male will 

need to feed the chicks 

Carolyn 

Robertson 

1882, soon 

built up a 

remarkable 

photographic 

record. 

Many 

of those 

glass plate 

negatives 

remained 

in the space 

under the roof of the boat 

sheds until the early 1970s, 

when Canterbury Public 

Library librarian RC Lamb 

collected the images from 

the then owner of the site, 

WS Dini. 

City council head of 

libraries and information 

Carolyn Robertson says 

the Anstey Collection 

offers a “snapshot of early 

Christchurch life, capturing 

people, places and 

riverside poses.” 

“Staff are busy digitising 

these fragile images, providing 

a remarkable portal 

to Canterbury’s past,” Ms 

Robertson said. 

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

white photos illustrate the 

early 1900s in the city, including 

visiting theatrical 

companies, families, and 

even the Botanic Gardens, 

bridges, river rowers and 

horse riding in Hagley 

Park,” she said. 

“The images reveal so 

much about our relationship 

with the city, and, 

despite the huge changes, 

how our love of the 

outdoors – particularly 

cycling and being on the 

water – has remained. 

“It is fascinating to see 

so many interactions with 

the landscape as the collection 

encapsulates the early 

social history of Ōtautahi 

Christchurch.”

Launched in December 

last year, the site provides 

access to more than 10,000 

items.

How can we help the 

fantail to thrive? Controlling 

rats in your garden as 

they are the key predator 

of the fantail. 

During winter hang or 

place a shallow bowl in a 

tree with sugary water to 

give them extra energy. As 

they only eat insects they 

will not feed from your 

birdseed feeder. 

FOCUS ON HEALTH 

Cleansed and cured? 

Many common health 

problems can all be easily 

solved with one simple 

approach according 

to a leading New 

Zealand Medical 

Herbalist Brett 

Elliott. Brett found in 

his clinical practice 

that most of his clients 

have similar common 

health complaints and 

that it all could be traced 

back to digestive disorders. Did you know 

up to 50% of the population suffer from 

common health conditions like; chronic 

constipation, acid reflux, bloating, gas, 

ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, crohn’s 

disease, coeliac disease, haemorrhoids, 

gallstones, cancer, diabetes, high blood 

pressure, abdominal weight gain, skin 

complaints and many more, these can all 

come back to a poor digestive system. 

Brett wanted to find a simple solution 

everyone could use to support their 

bodies natural healing without the side 

effects of pharmaceutical medications that 

often only ease or cover the symptoms 

without healing as well as often having 

many side effects. Brett knew everything 

in the body depends on the digestive 

system working properly and so went 

about developing “The Ultimate Herbal 

Detox Body Cleanse Program” a simple 

to use two week program. It not only 

supports the whole digestive system but 

also helps cleanse the entire body of toxins 

and parasites. The program contains four 

different all herb formulas all in capsule 

form that need to be taken twice daily. 

These capsules can be blended into a 

smoothie if you prefer. Colon-aid 

is designed to support a healthy 

bowel movement, increases the 

secretion of gastric juices and 

bile and promote appetite and 

digestion. Digez-aid soothes 

and stimulates healthy digestion 

and absorption of vital nutrients. 

Sym-lax is a bulking fibre to 

cleanse and heal the intestines and 

bowels. It also makes you feel less 

hungry. Liva-food is the final nutrient 

rich formula to support a healthy liver 

function. It supports detoxing the body of 

toxins and heavy metals. 

The program supports the bodies’ 

organs to do their job. The formulas are 

New Zealand made and contain a total 

of 24 high potency herbs making it quite 

possibly the most comprehensive “do 

it yourself ” herbal detox body cleanse 

program in the world. Brett has refined 

the formula over 20 years and has now 

sold over 100, 000 kits world-wide. He 

regularly receives incredible feedback 

from users with many re-doing the 

program once or twice yearly.

Starfish Swimwear - making swimsuits 

right here in Christchurch since 1997 

The location has changed several times 

but they still make their own swimwear 

and provide their customers with the great 

service they have come to know. 

Being very proud of their range of suits 

for mature women and those needing 

post-surgery suits. 

Starfish specialize in chlorine resistant 

suits for all ages. This is a must for hydro 

therapy or swimming lessons. The rapid 

deterioration of swimwear by chlorine or 

heated spas is often unknown to people 

who spend a lot of money on a suit only to 

have it last a couple of months, Sadly they 

are not told this at the time of purchase 

and it can come a quite a shock when it 

deteriorates before their eyes. 

Whatever your needs are, you will 

find plenty of choice in one piece suits, 

tankinis, bikinis and children’s swimwear. 

Children can sometimes fall between 

sizes and can need a longer length while 

still needing a smaller suit. These can be 

custom made in suits and rash sets. 

All the suits are still made on site in 

their Colombo Street store. Starfish 

are proud to use many local suppliers 

including fabrics, label makers and 

under wires and have always believed in 

supporting local business where possible 

as shopping local is important to our 

communities. 

You will get friendly help and advice 

from experienced staff that can help you 

make the choice that’s right for you and 

your needs. 

Starfish Swimwear is located at 239C 

Colombo Street or phone 379 0009.

Public Notice 

Would you like an opportunity to 

help people in your community? 

Care Solutions is currently setting up a new Supervised 

Contact service in the Christchurch area and we are 

looking for six contact supervisors. We are a community 

based, child focused agency. Visits are for two hours and 

venues may vary. This is an opportunity to be part of an 

exciting new team. 

We are looking for a diverse group of supervisors both 

male and female. The role provides for a non-day to 

day (visiting) parent to have supervised visits with 

their children, ensuring that children are safe, while 

supporting and providing an opportunity to rebuild the 

parent/child relationship. 

The role includes supervising the contact (usually 

two hours), keeping the child/children safe, following 

any safety plan that may be in place, and writing an 

observational report after the contact. Three hours is 

paid to allow time for separate handovers between 

the parents, the contact itself, and writing the report. 

Mileage is paid from home to the contact. Note that 

most contacts take place during the weekend or after 

school hours. 

Training and ongoing support will be 

given. A Police vetting will be required 

and you will need a full drivers licence.
