Addressing the needs of disabled<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
LIVING WITH an invisible<br />
disability produces its own<br />
challenges, but it’s often an<br />
uphill battle when it comes to<br />
being treated as equal to others.<br />
With Covid-19 throwing<br />
more Cantabrians into financial<br />
uncertainty, getting a job<br />
and retaining it while having<br />
disabilities such as Asperger’s<br />
syndrome, attention deficit<br />
hyperactivity disorder and<br />
autism turns the experience<br />
into an ordeal.<br />

Roading<br />
projects<br />
could lose<br />
$3 million<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
MORE THAN $3 million could<br />
be deferred from roading and<br />
transport projects across the east<br />
for the next 12 months.<br />
This comes as the city council<br />
looks to readjust its priorities in<br />
the face of the Covid-19 crisis<br />
which left it with a $99 million<br />
revenue shortfall.<br />
It has proposed as part of its<br />
draft Annual Plan to defer a total<br />
of $3.<strong>09</strong> million in funding to<br />
various roading and transport<br />
projects across the east of the city<br />
for the current financial year.<br />
If approved, the Linwood<br />
Ward would see $1.7 million<br />
worth of funding for roads and<br />
transportation infrastructure<br />
deferred.<br />
This would result in a reduction<br />
of $400,000 in funding towards<br />
work on Griffiths Ave, leaving<br />
$470,000 on budget for the project<br />
for the year. Another $1.3 million<br />
oul be deferred from the Shag<br />
Rock cycleway project, leaving<br />
$200,000 on budget.<br />
The council will consider<br />
reallocating funding towards<br />
any deferred projects when it<br />
addresses its Long Term Plan<br />
next year.<br />

rates increase over 10 years.<br />

Art on show at pop-up exhibition<br />
A POP-UP art exhibition and<br />
daily programme of art classes<br />
at The Palms has added colour<br />
to the school holidays.<br />
The exhibition is spearheaded<br />
by Brighton Art Gallery and will<br />
include a variety of works by<br />
gallery artists along with works<br />
from other local artists and<br />
groups.<br />
“It has resulted in a true showcase<br />
of art from the east side of<br />
Christchurch,” said Brighton<br />
Gallery committee member and<br />
artist Karen Phelps.<br />
Ms Phelps said that a pop-up<br />
exhibition is less formal than a<br />
gallery or museum and allows<br />
for a more immersive experience<br />
for the visitor where they can<br />
interact with local artists.<br />
“We have so many talented<br />
artists living in the east side<br />
of Christchurch and it’s great<br />
for them to have this vehicle to<br />
showcase their works on a larger<br />
scale to the public, and to open<br />
up conversation and discussion<br />
about art.<br />
“East Christchurch is really<br />
talking off with the new hot<br />
pools, He Puna Taimoana,<br />
proving very popular and more<br />
people discovering the gallery<br />
and the great local shops and<br />
cafes we have on this side of the<br />
city.”<br />
CRAFTY: A pop-up art exhibition has enlivened the school holidays, which showcases artists in<br />
eastern Christchurch. <br />
Artworks exhibited in<br />
the exhibition, including<br />
painting, drawing, prints and<br />
sculptures, will be for sale<br />
giving people the opportunity to<br />
purchase a unique piece of local<br />
art.<br />
It will also include a daily<br />
programme of art classes led by<br />
local artists Tony Scanlan and<br />
Maree Cole.<br />
Ms Phelps hopes it will<br />
encourage more Christchurch<br />
residents to explore their<br />
creative side.<br />
The Brighton Gallery is open<br />
all year and holds regular<br />
exhibitions with local art for sale<br />
and art classes.<br />
The exhibition will run until<br />
next Sunday.<br />
Hot pools<br />
prove<br />
popular<br />
THE CITY’S new beachside hot<br />
pools complex chalked up a sellout<br />
first month as it headed for<br />
school holidays.<br />
“The first month could not<br />
have gone any better,” He Puna<br />
Taimoana manager Merryn<br />
Skipper said.<br />
“We have had more than 7000<br />
guests visit the complex since it<br />
opened and the feedback we’ve<br />
had has been overwhelmingly<br />
positive.”<br />
Repeat visits were becoming the<br />
norm, and people were buying<br />
monthly or annual memberships.<br />
The pools were attracting<br />
people to the seaside suburb.<br />
“Some of our guests have not<br />
been to New Brighton for a long<br />
time; now they’re coming and<br />
pairing a visit to the hot pools<br />
with a visit to the library, the<br />
playground or eating locally,” Ms<br />
Skipper said.<br />
“They’re rediscovering what<br />
New Brighton has to offer.”<br />
Bookings were expected to<br />
remain strong, and capacity for the<br />
day sessions was being increased<br />
because of it, Ms Skipper said.<br />

LETS “BOOT” the “SCOOT”<br />
Impacted, infected, inflamed, foul smelling<br />
Anal Glands. A slightly weird topic to write<br />
about but becoming a very common<br />
complaint in many dogs and even cats.<br />
This week alone I have removed anal sacs<br />
bilaterally in 2 dogs and 1 cat.<br />
Why do cats and dogs have them? They<br />
are purely scent making glands , situated<br />
between the layers of muscle that make<br />
up the rectum. When all is working right<br />
they are naturally expressed each time your<br />
pet poops! This is another way a pet can<br />
mark their territory, leaving a smell signal,<br />
therefore an important part of dog to dog<br />
communication.<br />
These glands are still not fully understood.<br />
Why some dogs never need them expressed<br />
and some dogs and owners are miserable<br />
because of these glands, sparks some<br />
debate…<br />
Clinically, cats scoot less often than dogs and<br />
are more likely to develop traumatic hair loss<br />
of the tail base or caudal abdomen. Other<br />
signs seen in cats and dogs may include<br />
licking/biting at the anal, perianal, and/or tail<br />
region; matting of perianal hair; reluctance<br />
to sit; reluctance to defecate; straining;<br />
constipation; anal discharge; redness and<br />
swelling of anal area, vocalising, lethargy and<br />
a terrible foul smell.<br />
The most common anal gland<br />
problems are:<br />
1. Impaction - the anal sacs fail to empty,<br />
resulting in thicker secretions, that cause<br />
swelling and pain in the anal sacs<br />
2. Sacculitis- this is inflammation or<br />
infection within the anal sac which can<br />
lead to an abscess or fistula.<br />
3. Hypersecretion whereby dogs express<br />
their anal glands often often due to a<br />
fright or anxiety.<br />
4. An abscessed anal sac<br />
5. Benign or malignant tumours associated<br />
with the anal sacs<br />
What increases your dogs chances of anal gland<br />
issues:<br />
1. Chronic skin infections with bacteria or yeast<br />
2. Skin mite infestation<br />
3. Food allergies<br />
4. Hypothyroidism<br />
5. Obesity<br />
6. Environmental allergies ( Atopy)<br />
7. Diarrhoea and Inflammatory Bowel disease<br />
8. Frequent anal gland expressions , which may<br />
happen at groomers. This can cause inflammation<br />
of the anal gland, scarring and narrowing of the<br />
anal gland duct.<br />

Dani and Chase enjoying a walk<br />
Typically I will squeeze the glands and assess the size<br />
and shape and material extruded. If I think allergies (<br />
either food or environmental) are a contributing factor,<br />
I discuss hypoallergenic diets, fiber added, fish oils as<br />
a natural skin anti-inflammatory and possible a steroid<br />
trial. Antibiotics is usually only prescribed if there is<br />
blood in the secretion or the sac has abscessed.<br />
Sometimes with abscessed anal glands I will<br />
recommend flushing and packing the anal sacs with<br />
antibiotic lotion under sedative. This can be effective<br />
at controlling an abscessed gland and requires no<br />
further treatment.<br />
If the anal gland disease is long standing and<br />
persistent and causing the patient<br />
discomfort, I will recommend bilateral<br />
anal sacculectomy. When done<br />
correctly, this procedure is highly<br />
effective with very few complications.<br />
A good discussion needs to be had<br />
with the owner so they are clear of<br />
possible complications. In the “end”<br />
this procedure is often the only way to<br />
completely resolve the problem and give<br />
a patient its quality of life back.<br />
Chase, a 3 year old Beagle, owned by<br />
one of our vet nurses and her partner,<br />
was presented for anal gland removal<br />
as he was constantly getting his glands<br />
go in their home. The anal sacs were<br />
not abscessed nor impacted but its very<br />
hard to live with the smell of anal glands<br />
on your furniture, carpet or bedding.<br />
The surgery is delicate and care needs<br />
to be taken working around the anal<br />
area to ensure you don’t damage any<br />
nerves risking the complication or fecal<br />
incontinence. Like with anything, the<br />
more you do the better you get at it and<br />
at the end of the day your dog can easily<br />
live without his glands, BUT can you live<br />
that smell.<br />

$3m from east’s roading<br />

Davids found the cuts to<br />
roading and transport<br />

she appreciated<br />
the unprecedented<br />
circumstances the city<br />
council was under.<br />
“With the east, it is<br />
quite hard because we<br />
have a lot of roads that<br />
still have a lot of damage<br />
that need a lot of work but<br />
we are in unforeseeable<br />
circumstances and we do<br />
have to expect that things<br />
will be postponed at this<br />
stage,” she said.<br />
The Coastal Ward would<br />
also have $750,000 worth<br />
of funding previously<br />
allocated to work on the<br />
Pages Road Bridge cut for<br />
the next 12 months, leaving<br />
nothing on budget.<br />
The Burwood Ward<br />
could also see $640,000<br />
once destined for<br />
improvements to both the<br />
Burwood and Mariehau Rd<br />
intersection and Burwood<br />
and Marshland route<br />

Disability community<br />
want their voices heard<br />
• From page 1<br />
“The diagnosis pathway<br />
is convoluted, so there<br />
needs to be an agency on<br />
the ground that can do<br />
advocacy work.”<br />
The trust provided referrals<br />
to appropriate agencies<br />
and advocated for clients<br />
to the Ministry of Social<br />
Development, along with<br />
personal assessments before<br />
a diagnosis.<br />
It also held presentations<br />
and workshops to further<br />
educate those accessing<br />
their services.<br />
Getting diagnosed by a<br />
mental health professional<br />
was difficult in itself; sometimes<br />
taking two years for<br />
a child to get an assessment<br />
which could result in a late<br />
diagnosis.<br />
Said Mr Stoneman: “It’s<br />
really hard to get a diagnosis,<br />
they [mental health]<br />
just refuse to talk about it.<br />
“The disability sector has<br />
been ignored, we don’t get<br />
our voices heard and we’re<br />
often under-represented.<br />
There’s just nowhere to go.<br />

Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board<br />
chairman Kelly Barber<br />
shared the sentiments of<br />
Ms Davids.<br />
“I think we are all<br />
frustrated but we definitely<br />
understand the position<br />
the council is in, these are<br />
unprecedented times,” he<br />
said.<br />
The city council was<br />
forced to reassess its<br />
finances following the<br />
effects of the Covid-19<br />
crisis. Leaving the lost<br />
“In NZ there’s about<br />
90,000 adults on the spectrum<br />
between the ages of<br />
18 to 65.”<br />
Although the lockdown<br />
was difficult for some,<br />
Mr Stoneman said the<br />
disability community<br />
struggled in particular due<br />
to the rapidly changing<br />
environment.<br />
“One of the biggest barriers<br />
is change, especially<br />
in routines and social isolation.<br />
Some don’t cope well<br />
in a new environment,” he<br />
said.<br />
Even though Mr Stoneman’s<br />
Asperger’s - a form<br />
of autism - was mild, he<br />
said coping was another<br />
story.<br />
“It’s actually really<br />
difficult to cope because<br />
I’m reliant on others, but<br />
overall it’s definitely been<br />
a learning experience,” he<br />
said.<br />
“I’m now an autism educator<br />
and I talk in the community;<br />
it’s not as much of<br />
a stigma as it used to be.”<br />
The trust has kept him<br />
income and additional<br />
costs arising from the<br />
pandemic unaddressed<br />
would have driven a rates<br />
increase of more than 21<br />
per cent for the current<br />
financial year.<br />
The city council is now<br />
proposing an average rates<br />
rise of 3.5 per cent after<br />
making cuts to certain<br />
areas of its budget. It<br />
is currently processing<br />
submissions made to its<br />
draft Annual Plan before<br />
councillors sign off on a<br />
final one by the end of<br />
this month.<br />
busy over the last few<br />
months - a job he can truly<br />
enjoy without fear of discrimination.<br />
“It’s a struggle to get jobs<br />
and even harder to keep it<br />
by being put in situations<br />
where we have to reveal<br />
[symptoms], then face<br />
discrimination.”<br />
This often discouraged<br />
people to seek employment<br />
in the first place, contributing<br />
to a higher number of<br />
the community on benefits.<br />
He encouraged more<br />
people to get involved and<br />
support the trust to educate<br />
themselves and understand<br />
the importance of inclusion.<br />
Said Mr Stoneman: “We<br />
want people to engage and<br />
to be treated like normal,<br />
everyday people. Showing<br />
more compassion and<br />
working alongside us in a<br />
professional field is helpful.<br />
“Start acknowledging<br />
that mental disabilities<br />
actually exists and that<br />

Tik tok strikes again<br />
The New Brighton heritage<br />
Clock Tower damaged in<br />
the 2010-2011 earthquakes<br />
will finally reopen this<br />
month according to Council<br />
contractors. This is good news<br />
for the community who have<br />
waited for nearly a decade for<br />
these repairs to be undertaken<br />
and which reflects a positive<br />
revitalisation of amenities on<br />
the foreshore.<br />
The weathered looks of the<br />
clocktower reflects its long<br />
and somewhat bitter family<br />
history. The Clock Tower is a<br />
piece of New Brighton and was<br />
one of three gifts from Richard<br />
Green (a retired builder) to the<br />
citizens of Christchurch.<br />
It was commonly believed<br />
that Green had fallen out with<br />
his family and that he was<br />
hell-bent on cutting them out<br />
of his estate by divesting himself of his<br />
wealth and paying for the creation of<br />
statues and clock towers. Some of Green’s<br />
family were in poor financial states,<br />
including a son who had been wounded<br />
in World War I.<br />
Green stated that the clock towers were<br />
in memory of his father, Edmund Green<br />
(1829-99) who was involved with the<br />
introduction of the telegraph into New<br />
Zealand.<br />
There were rumours that family<br />
members would disrupt – even bomb –<br />
the ceremonies where foundation stones<br />
were laid. Certainly, members of the<br />
family wrote letters about Green to the<br />
newspapers defaming him and accusing<br />
Green of all sorts of debauchery.<br />
On 14 December 1934, Irene Leaver,<br />
daughter of E. A. M. Leaver (mayor<br />
of New Brighton 1931-1935), laid the<br />
foundation stone of the New Brighton<br />
clock tower.<br />
This repair of the clocktower will<br />
be celebrated by the New Brighton<br />
community. Yet like other national<br />
memorials and statues, it hides a more<br />
complicated past behind its new and<br />
unblemished exterior.<br />

Pull No Punches<br />
Memoir of a political survivor<br />
by Judith Collins<br />
The most anticipated political memoir of the year.<br />
A frank account from National MP Judith Collins of the highs and lows of<br />
a political life. From her humble beginnings as the youngest daughter of<br />
Labour-voting farming parents, Judith Collins has carved a path to almost<br />
the very top of New Zealand politics. Collins grew up in rural Walton,<br />
Waikato, on a dairy farm. At the age of 10 she entered politics, running<br />
for class president. She won.<br />
After a successful career as a lawyer, Collins became the MP for Papakura<br />
in 2002, alongside fellow new recruit John Key. When Key and National<br />
won office in 2008, Collins became the Minister for Police, Corrections<br />
and Veterans. Funny, forthright and fearless, Collins reveals what it is like<br />
to survive-and thrive-for two decades as a senior female politician<br />
Merchant, Miner, Mandarin<br />
the life and times of the remarkable Choie sew hoy<br />
one of dunedin’s most prominent entrepreneurs.<br />
by Jenny sew hoy agnew and trevor Gordon agnew<br />
In 1869, a businessman from China’s Guangdong Province first set foot<br />
on New Zealand soil at Port Chalmers. It was the beginning of an illustrious<br />
career that would change the shape of commerce and industry in Otago<br />
and Southland. ‘Merchant, Miner, Mandarin’ depicts the fascinating life of<br />
Choie Sew Hoy – from his early days in China before emigrating to<br />
Australia and then NZ, to his death in 1901 as one of Dunedin’s most<br />
prominent entrepreneurs. Richly illustrated and deeply researched,<br />
‘Merchant, Miner, Mandarin’ is both the compelling biography of one of the<br />
most distinguished figures of New Zealand business and an<br />
intriguing account of late 19th-century society, industry and race relations.<br />
Weed<br />
a new Zealand story<br />
by James Borrowdale<br />
A fascinating journey through the life and times of cannabis in New<br />
Zealand. Pot, Mary Jane, dope, skunk, grass, hash, green, hooch, herb,<br />
ganja, reefer. New Zealand loves weed. It’s the most popular illegal drug<br />
in our country and third most popular drug overall, behind alcohol and<br />
tobacco, yet it also represents a troubled relationship. In Weed, awardwinning<br />
journalist James Borrowdale dives in deep to understand that<br />
relationship, meeting a fascinating cross-section of New Zealand along<br />
the way – a nineteenth-century nun who allegedly grew pot, a bystander<br />
to the Mr Asia syndicate, a convicted heroin dealer turned criminologist,<br />
people both using and offering the drug for medicinal relief, politicians<br />
and law-makers old and new. Fusing insightful, personal stories with<br />
analysis and historical research, Weed lays out the facts as they are –<br />
about an issue that can no longer be ignored.<br />

Not That I’d Kiss a Girl<br />
by lil o’Brien<br />
Lil O’Brien accidentally outed herself to her parents at the age of nineteen<br />
when they overheard her talking to a friend about liking girls. Half an hour<br />
later she found herself on the side of the road, with instructions to come<br />
back and pick up her suitcase the next day. What follows is a heartbreaking<br />
yet hugely funny story of a young Kiwi girl - the deputy head girl from a<br />
posh private school - coming to grips with her sexuality in the face of stark<br />
disapproval from her parents. Bit by bit, Lil finds the inner strength to pull<br />
herself into an entirely new world. Along the way she’s called out for looking<br />
too straight in a gay bar, tries to break in to the lesbian in-crowd and figures<br />
out how to send her internet lover back to America…and explores how the<br />
hell to have sex with a girl and dates four women at once - unsuccessfully.<br />
Lil’s story is an insightful and honest look at how you figure out whether<br />
you’re gay, bi or whatever - and deal with what comes next.<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />
Term 3 at Papanui<br />
High School<br />
Ivan Mauger Ronnie Moore Barry Briggs<br />
Three world champions<br />
rode at Aranui Speedway<br />
CHRISTCHURCH<br />
Speedway, more<br />
commonly known as<br />
Aranui Speedway, has a<br />
distinguished history, in<br />
spite of its short run of just<br />
10 years.<br />
Perhaps Aranui<br />
Speedway’s biggest<br />
legacy is that three world<br />
speedway champions<br />
emerged from the young<br />
motorbike racers at this<br />
one venue.<br />
Ronnie Moore, who<br />
debuted at Aranui as a<br />
15-year-old, went on to win<br />
the world championship<br />
title twice and Barry Briggs<br />
won the title four times.<br />
Ivan Mauger began<br />
his competitive career<br />
at Aranui in 1955 and,<br />
by 1979, long after the<br />
Christchurch speedway<br />
had closed, had won the<br />
world title six times – an as<br />
yet unbeaten record.<br />
In 2000, after a poll from<br />
34 speedway magazines<br />
around the world, he was<br />
named the speedway Man<br />
of the Millennium – the<br />
top speedway rider of the<br />
20th-century.<br />
To have produced three<br />
world champions was an<br />
amazing record for one<br />
speedway.<br />
Aranui Speedway was<br />
situated off Rowan Ave,<br />
behind where St James<br />
School is now. This site<br />
was still in sand hills, and<br />
broom and wild pine.<br />
Construction started in<br />
1948.<br />
Earthmoving machines<br />
were used to create a cinder<br />
track and an embankment.<br />
The track later earned the<br />
reputation among overseas<br />
competitors as being one of<br />
the best in the world.<br />
The speedway was<br />
officially opened by Mayor<br />
EH Andrews on January<br />
29, 1949, before a crowd of<br />
more than 10,000 people.<br />
In the late 1940s and<br />
early 1950s, the speedway<br />
was one of Christchurch’s<br />
biggest summer attractions<br />
and some residents<br />
adjoining the area (now<br />
Rowan Ave) complained of<br />
the heavy traffic and noise<br />
on speedway nights.<br />
As well as holding races<br />
between North and South<br />
Island teams, the Aranui<br />
Speedway hosted the New<br />
Zealand Championships<br />
and overseas teams and<br />
racers. Other forms<br />
of racing were also<br />
introduced – sidecars,<br />
midget racers and ultramidget<br />
cars (for children’s<br />
races).<br />
Stock cars proved a<br />
popular attraction between<br />
1954-56 but eventually had<br />
to be dropped because of<br />
the expense in repairing<br />
damage to trackside fences.<br />
A combination of rising<br />
costs, declining patronage<br />
and increasing pressure<br />
from new housing in the<br />
Aranui area led to the<br />
closure of the speedway in<br />
1959.<br />

bright orange legs.<br />
They are often seen in<br />
small groups but they also<br />

roosting alongside those<br />

They like to eat insects<br />
and worms while wading in<br />
shallow water or swampy<br />
Linwood paddocks<br />
utilising their long legs to<br />
do so.<br />
Nests are near water or<br />
even surrounded by water<br />
and are made by piling<br />
up mud a few centimetres<br />
high.<br />
When they cannot see<br />
you nearby the nest (use<br />
binoculars and patience<br />

be lucky enough to see<br />
adults with the cutest<br />
little fluffy grey chicks,<br />
on their comparatively<br />
ridiculously long legs,<br />
learning how to catch food<br />
themselves.<br />
How can we help these,<br />
and all other birds? Keep<br />
dogs on the lead when<br />
walking near the estuary<br />
and pick up litter.

Learning returns<br />
to the heart of<br />
the city<br />
The WEA is delighted to be opening<br />
its doors again for the return of adult<br />
and community educational classes<br />
this coming term. During lockdown a<br />
shortened programme of 20 online items<br />
was offered free of charge. The 300+<br />
registrations showed there was a real<br />
desire to keep learning through the<br />
crisis. Wendy Butcher from the CWEA<br />
Council (governance team) said that<br />
“for some of our members with limited<br />
computer knowledge, learning online<br />
was a huge challenge, we commend<br />
those in our community who embraced<br />
technologies like Zoom and showed<br />
their determination to stay connected”.<br />
Now that people can be back in the<br />
building however, there is a real sense<br />
of the importance of face to face<br />
interactions: for learning, for depth of<br />
communication and for well-being.<br />
There is an exciting programme<br />
of events and courses on offer,<br />
from: Looking and Understanding<br />
Polynesian Art to Understanding the<br />
Treaty of Waitangi in <strong>2020</strong>. To find<br />

Christchurch<br />
School of Music<br />
The Chinese philosopher, Confucius<br />
said long ago “Music produces a kind of<br />
pleasure which human nature cannot do<br />
without”. Playing an instrument has many<br />
benefits and can bring a great deal of joy<br />
to the performer and the listener. Studies<br />
continue to prove that participating in<br />
musical activities, has many positive<br />
effects on the brain as well as a student’s<br />
health and well-being. Some of the proven<br />
benefits include:<br />
1) Increased memory capacity<br />
2) Improved language ability<br />
3) Increased empathy<br />
4) Improved self-confidence<br />
5) Increased attention span and focus<br />
6) Self-discipline<br />
The Christchurch School of Music is<br />
a family-oriented community aimed at<br />
providing quality music education in and<br />
around Christchurch.<br />
On a Saturday morning the whole family<br />
can find something to<br />
suit. Preschool and<br />
junior school children<br />
can start their musical<br />
journey by joining<br />
in our “Take Off<br />
with Music” classes<br />
while older children and adults may<br />
opt for lessons on a specific instrument<br />
(including voice). Those who already play<br />
are welcome to join in one of the great<br />
ensembles which all take part in regular<br />
concerts.<br />
Age is no limit - our Late Starters<br />
programme provides the opportunity for<br />
adults to learn an instrument and join an<br />
ensemble with other like-minded adults.<br />
If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also<br />
offers a range of weekday opportunities<br />
for learning and playing music and, if<br />
affordability is an issue, CSM may be<br />
able to offer a discount through funding<br />
provided by the Rata Foundation and<br />
CERT.<br />
Term 3 starts on Saturday 25 <strong>July</strong> and<br />
we can take new enrolments in most<br />
instruments and ensembles.<br />
Please contact us via our website www.<br />

for a lifetime.

Natural vision support<br />
Bilberry and marigold are two natural<br />
herbs with a long history in supporting the<br />
health of the eyes and good vision.<br />
During World War 2, British bomber<br />
pilots reported improved night vision after a<br />
nightly dose of bilberry jam before missions.<br />
Subsequent research suggested that bilberry<br />
extract may improve microcirculation<br />
within the eye, with the most significant<br />
effects found in people with impaired visual<br />
acuity.<br />
Bilberries contain powerful antioxidant<br />
compounds called anthocyanins that may<br />
play a major role in supporting eye health<br />
and even in improving the vision.<br />
One of the main causes of degenerative<br />
eye diseases such as macular degeneration<br />
relates to an increase in free radical activity<br />
that damages healthy cells in the eyes. The<br />
anthocyanins from the bilberry help reduce<br />
this free radical damage that could lead to<br />
serious eye disease.<br />
Bilberry has also been shown to improve<br />
oxygen and blood delivery to the eye,<br />
important factors for maintaining eye<br />
health.<br />
Bilberry is commonly used to support<br />
night vision and alleviate tired eyes,<br />
eye strain and dry eyes. It is considered<br />
beneficial for most eye conditions, including<br />
cataracts, disorders of the retina, and to<br />
prevent eye problems, especially in people<br />
with diabetes or high blood pressure.<br />
The retina is a thin layer of tissue at<br />
the back of the eye that transforms light<br />
information into neural signals for the brain<br />
to see images.<br />
The retina is very fragile and can be<br />
damaged by bright light, especially blue<br />
light. Computer monitors, cellphones,<br />
electronic notebooks, televisions, LED and<br />
fluorescent lighting all emit significant<br />
amounts of blue light and may have long<br />
term effects on the retina.<br />
The carotenoid lutein, as found in marigold<br />
flowers, is concentrated in the macula, the<br />
functional centre of the retina. The macula<br />
gives us the ability to see detail and provides<br />
the best colour vision.<br />
Lutein appears to be vital in protecting the<br />
macula from blue light damage. Multiple<br />
studies have shown that people with eye<br />
diseases have much lower levels of lutein<br />
in their eyes and that increasing intake<br />
of lutein can reduce the risk of macular<br />
degeneration, the leading cause of blindness<br />
in older people.<br />
One study of people in India, where<br />
cataracts are a common problem found that<br />
those with the highest blood levels of lutein<br />
had a 41% lower risk of developing cataracts,<br />
compared to those with the lowest levels.<br />
“Marshall’s Herbal Vision Manager”<br />
provides nutritional support to your eyes,<br />
with each capsule containing a high dose<br />
extract of bilberry fruit and marigold<br />
flowers. This natural herbal formula is ideal<br />
to support keeping your eyes healthy.<br />

support<br />
Marshall’s Herbal VISION MANAGER contains<br />
two high potency herbal extracts of Bilberry<br />
& Marigold. These are both well known to<br />
support normal eye function & promote<br />
healthy vision. Bilberry contains powerful<br />
antioxidants called anthocyanins that may<br />
play a major role in supporting the health of<br />
delicate eye tissues. Marigold is a source of<br />
the carotenoid lutein. This compound has<br />
been shown in multiple studies to be a vital<br />
nutrient in eye health. Optimum levels of<br />
lutein appear to offer significant protection<br />
against serious eye disorders.<br />

HOME & HEATING<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 />
Contact Smooth-Air on 0800<br />
SMOOTH (0800 766 684) to ask how<br />
they can help you with your Heat<br />
Transfer, as well as any other ventilation<br />
requirements.<br />

When your brand includes the top Harcourts<br />
office out of 900 around the world in addition<br />
to the top franchise in New Zealand for<br />
income per sales consultant, it’s clear that<br />
you’ve got an extraordinary team.<br />
So for these consultants to earn the position of one of the top ten real estate sales<br />
consultants at Harcourts gold is truly a remarkable achievement.<br />
They are phenomenally good at what they do; skilled, highly trained and dedicated<br />
to delivering exceptional results for property owners. I am extremely proud to work<br />
with these real estate professionals.<br />
