Addressing the needs of disabled 

• By Bea Gooding 

LIVING WITH an invisible 

disability produces its own 

challenges, but it’s often an 

uphill battle when it comes to 

being treated as equal to others. 

With Covid-19 throwing 

more Cantabrians into financial 

uncertainty, getting a job 

and retaining it while having 

disabilities such as Asperger’s 

syndrome, attention deficit 

hyperactivity disorder and 

autism turns the experience 

into an ordeal. 

Facing discrimination 

and his own struggles with 

Asperger’s inspired disability

to start the NZ Disability 

ADVOCATE:

Stoneman 

founded the 

NZ Disability 

Advisory Trust 

to address 

“injustices” in 

the disability 

community.

“We provide support for

Roading 

projects 

could lose 

$3 million 

• By Louis Day 

MORE THAN $3 million could 

be deferred from roading and 

transport projects across the east 

for the next 12 months. 

This comes as the city council 

looks to readjust its priorities in 

the face of the Covid-19 crisis 

which left it with a $99 million 

revenue shortfall. 

It has proposed as part of its 

draft Annual Plan to defer a total 

of $3.09 million in funding to 

various roading and transport 

projects across the east of the city 

for the current financial year. 

If approved, the Linwood 

Ward would see $1.7 million 

worth of funding for roads and 

transportation infrastructure 

deferred. 

This would result in a reduction 

of $400,000 in funding towards 

work on Griffiths Ave, leaving 

$470,000 on budget for the project 

for the year. Another $1.3 million 

oul be deferred from the Shag 

Rock cycleway project, leaving 

$200,000 on budget. 

The council will consider 

reallocating funding towards 

any deferred projects when it 

addresses its Long Term Plan 

next year.

to the Covid-19 crisis. 

City counci lors James Gough, 

Sam MacDonald, Catherine 

Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown 

and James Daniels have sent a

The city council is proposing 

an average rates increase of 4.65 

per cent acro s a l ratepayers in 

this year’s Draft Annual Plan

Plan also predicts a 50 per cent 

rates increase over 10 years.

Art on show at pop-up exhibition 

A POP-UP art exhibition and 

daily programme of art classes 

at The Palms has added colour 

to the school holidays. 

The exhibition is spearheaded 

by Brighton Art Gallery and will 

include a variety of works by 

gallery artists along with works 

from other local artists and 

groups. 

“It has resulted in a true showcase 

of art from the east side of 

Christchurch,” said Brighton 

Gallery committee member and 

artist Karen Phelps. 

Ms Phelps said that a pop-up 

exhibition is less formal than a 

gallery or museum and allows 

for a more immersive experience 

for the visitor where they can 

interact with local artists. 

“We have so many talented 

artists living in the east side 

of Christchurch and it’s great 

for them to have this vehicle to 

showcase their works on a larger 

scale to the public, and to open 

up conversation and discussion 

about art. 

“East Christchurch is really 

talking off with the new hot 

pools, He Puna Taimoana, 

proving very popular and more 

people discovering the gallery 

and the great local shops and 

cafes we have on this side of the 

city.” 

CRAFTY: A pop-up art exhibition has enlivened the school holidays, which showcases artists in 

eastern Christchurch. 

Artworks exhibited in 

the exhibition, including 

painting, drawing, prints and 

sculptures, will be for sale 

giving people the opportunity to 

purchase a unique piece of local 

art. 

It will also include a daily 

programme of art classes led by 

local artists Tony Scanlan and 

Maree Cole. 

Ms Phelps hopes it will 

encourage more Christchurch 

residents to explore their 

creative side. 

The Brighton Gallery is open 

all year and holds regular 

exhibitions with local art for sale 

and art classes. 

The exhibition will run until 

next Sunday. 

Hot pools 

prove 

popular 

THE CITY’S new beachside hot 

pools complex chalked up a sellout 

first month as it headed for 

school holidays. 

“The first month could not 

have gone any better,” He Puna 

Taimoana manager Merryn 

Skipper said. 

“We have had more than 7000 

guests visit the complex since it 

opened and the feedback we’ve 

had has been overwhelmingly 

positive.” 

Repeat visits were becoming the 

norm, and people were buying 

monthly or annual memberships. 

The pools were attracting 

people to the seaside suburb. 

“Some of our guests have not 

been to New Brighton for a long 

time; now they’re coming and 

pairing a visit to the hot pools 

with a visit to the library, the 

playground or eating locally,” Ms 

Skipper said. 

“They’re rediscovering what 

New Brighton has to offer.” 

Bookings were expected to 

remain strong, and capacity for the 

day sessions was being increased 

because of it, Ms Skipper said.

Veterinary practice 

LETS “BOOT” the “SCOOT” 

Impacted, infected, inflamed, foul smelling 

Anal Glands. A slightly weird topic to write 

about but becoming a very common 

complaint in many dogs and even cats. 

This week alone I have removed anal sacs 

bilaterally in 2 dogs and 1 cat. 

Why do cats and dogs have them? They 

are purely scent making glands , situated 

between the layers of muscle that make 

up the rectum. When all is working right 

they are naturally expressed each time your 

pet poops! This is another way a pet can 

mark their territory, leaving a smell signal, 

therefore an important part of dog to dog 

communication. 

These glands are still not fully understood. 

Why some dogs never need them expressed 

and some dogs and owners are miserable 

because of these glands, sparks some 

debate… 

Clinically, cats scoot less often than dogs and 

are more likely to develop traumatic hair loss 

of the tail base or caudal abdomen. Other 

signs seen in cats and dogs may include 

licking/biting at the anal, perianal, and/or tail 

region; matting of perianal hair; reluctance 

to sit; reluctance to defecate; straining; 

constipation; anal discharge; redness and 

swelling of anal area, vocalising, lethargy and 

a terrible foul smell. 

The most common anal gland 

problems are: 

1. Impaction - the anal sacs fail to empty, 

resulting in thicker secretions, that cause 

swelling and pain in the anal sacs 

2. Sacculitis- this is inflammation or 

infection within the anal sac which can 

lead to an abscess or fistula. 

3. Hypersecretion whereby dogs express 

their anal glands often often due to a 

fright or anxiety. 

4. An abscessed anal sac 

5. Benign or malignant tumours associated 

with the anal sacs 

What increases your dogs chances of anal gland 

issues: 

1. Chronic skin infections with bacteria or yeast 

2. Skin mite infestation 

3. Food allergies 

4. Hypothyroidism 

5. Obesity 

6. Environmental allergies ( Atopy) 

7. Diarrhoea and Inflammatory Bowel disease 

8. Frequent anal gland expressions , which may 

happen at groomers. This can cause inflammation 

of the anal gland, scarring and narrowing of the 

anal gland duct.

Dani and Chase enjoying a walk 

Typically I will squeeze the glands and assess the size 

and shape and material extruded. If I think allergies ( 

either food or environmental) are a contributing factor, 

I discuss hypoallergenic diets, fiber added, fish oils as 

a natural skin anti-inflammatory and possible a steroid 

trial. Antibiotics is usually only prescribed if there is 

blood in the secretion or the sac has abscessed. 

Sometimes with abscessed anal glands I will 

recommend flushing and packing the anal sacs with 

antibiotic lotion under sedative. This can be effective 

at controlling an abscessed gland and requires no 

further treatment. 

If the anal gland disease is long standing and 

persistent and causing the patient 

discomfort, I will recommend bilateral 

anal sacculectomy. When done 

correctly, this procedure is highly 

effective with very few complications. 

A good discussion needs to be had 

with the owner so they are clear of 

possible complications. In the “end” 

this procedure is often the only way to 

completely resolve the problem and give 

a patient its quality of life back. 

Chase, a 3 year old Beagle, owned by 

one of our vet nurses and her partner, 

was presented for anal gland removal 

as he was constantly getting his glands 

go in their home. The anal sacs were 

not abscessed nor impacted but its very 

hard to live with the smell of anal glands 

on your furniture, carpet or bedding. 

The surgery is delicate and care needs 

to be taken working around the anal 

area to ensure you don’t damage any 

nerves risking the complication or fecal 

incontinence. Like with anything, the 

more you do the better you get at it and 

at the end of the day your dog can easily 

live without his glands, BUT can you live 

that smell.

Council could defer 

$3m from east’s roading 

• From page 1 

While Linwood- 

Central-Heathcote 

Community Board 

chairwoman Alexandra 

Davids found the cuts to 

roading and transport 

projects concerning, 

she appreciated 

the unprecedented 

circumstances the city 

council was under. 

“With the east, it is 

quite hard because we 

have a lot of roads that 

still have a lot of damage 

that need a lot of work but 

we are in unforeseeable 

circumstances and we do 

have to expect that things 

will be postponed at this 

stage,” she said. 

The Coastal Ward would 

also have $750,000 worth 

of funding previously 

allocated to work on the 

Pages Road Bridge cut for 

the next 12 months, leaving 

nothing on budget. 

The Burwood Ward 

could also see $640,000 

once destined for 

improvements to both the 

Burwood and Mariehau Rd 

intersection and Burwood 

and Marshland route 

withheld for at least a year. 

However, this would still 

leave $52,960 on budget 

for the intersection and

Disability community 

want their voices heard 

• From page 1 

“The diagnosis pathway 

is convoluted, so there 

needs to be an agency on 

the ground that can do 

advocacy work.” 

The trust provided referrals 

to appropriate agencies 

and advocated for clients 

to the Ministry of Social 

Development, along with 

personal assessments before 

a diagnosis. 

It also held presentations 

and workshops to further 

educate those accessing 

their services. 

Getting diagnosed by a 

mental health professional 

was difficult in itself; sometimes 

taking two years for 

a child to get an assessment 

which could result in a late 

diagnosis. 

Said Mr Stoneman: “It’s 

really hard to get a diagnosis, 

they [mental health] 

just refuse to talk about it. 

“The disability sector has 

been ignored, we don’t get 

our voices heard and we’re 

often under-represented. 

There’s just nowhere to go.

Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board 

chairman Kelly Barber 

shared the sentiments of 

Ms Davids. 

“I think we are all 

frustrated but we definitely 

understand the position 

the council is in, these are 

unprecedented times,” he 

said. 

The city council was 

forced to reassess its 

finances following the 

effects of the Covid-19 

crisis. Leaving the lost 

“In NZ there’s about 

90,000 adults on the spectrum 

between the ages of 

18 to 65.” 

Although the lockdown 

was difficult for some, 

Mr Stoneman said the 

disability community 

struggled in particular due 

to the rapidly changing 

environment. 

“One of the biggest barriers 

is change, especially 

in routines and social isolation. 

Some don’t cope well 

in a new environment,” he 

said. 

Even though Mr Stoneman’s 

Asperger’s - a form 

of autism - was mild, he 

said coping was another 

story. 

“It’s actually really 

difficult to cope because 

I’m reliant on others, but 

overall it’s definitely been 

a learning experience,” he 

said. 

“I’m now an autism educator 

and I talk in the community; 

it’s not as much of 

a stigma as it used to be.” 

The trust has kept him

costs arising from the 

pandemic unaddressed 

would have driven a rates 

increase of more than 21

financial year. 

The city council is now 

proposing an average rates 

rise of 3.5 per cent after

areas of its budget. It

months - a job he can truly 

enjoy without fear of discrimination. 

“It’s a struggle to get jobs 

and even harder to keep it 

by being put in situations 

where we have to reveal 

[symptoms], then face 

discrimination.” 

This often discouraged 

people to seek employment 

in the first place, contributing 

to a higher number of 

the community on benefits. 

He encouraged more 

people to get involved and 

support the trust to educate 

themselves and understand 

the importance of inclusion. 

Said Mr Stoneman: “We 

want people to engage and 

to be treated like normal, 

everyday people. Showing 

more compassion and 

working alongside us in a 

professional field is helpful. 

“Start acknowledging 

that mental disabilities 

actually exists and that 

it’s not just limited to the

Tik tok strikes again 

The New Brighton heritage 

Clock Tower damaged in 

the 2010-2011 earthquakes 

will finally reopen this 

month according to Council 

contractors. This is good news 

for the community who have 

waited for nearly a decade for 

these repairs to be undertaken 

and which reflects a positive 

revitalisation of amenities on 

the foreshore. 

The weathered looks of the 

clocktower reflects its long 

and somewhat bitter family 

history. The Clock Tower is a 

piece of New Brighton and was 

one of three gifts from Richard 

Green (a retired builder) to the 

citizens of Christchurch. 

It was commonly believed 

that Green had fallen out with 

his family and that he was 

hell-bent on cutting them out 

of his estate by divesting himself of his 

wealth and paying for the creation of 

statues and clock towers. Some of Green’s 

family were in poor financial states, 

including a son who had been wounded 

in World War I. 

Green stated that the clock towers were 

in memory of his father, Edmund Green 

(1829-99) who was involved with the 

introduction of the telegraph into New 

Zealand. 

There were rumours that family 

members would disrupt – even bomb – 

the ceremonies where foundation stones 

were laid. Certainly, members of the 

family wrote letters about Green to the 

newspapers defaming him and accusing 

Green of all sorts of debauchery. 

On 14 December 1934, Irene Leaver, 

daughter of E. A. M. Leaver (mayor 

of New Brighton 1931-1935), laid the 

foundation stone of the New Brighton 

clock tower. 

This repair of the clocktower will 

be celebrated by the New Brighton 

community. Yet like other national 

memorials and statues, it hides a more 

complicated past behind its new and 

unblemished exterior.

Pull No Punches 

Memoir of a political survivor 

by Judith Collins 

The most anticipated political memoir of the year. 

A frank account from National MP Judith Collins of the highs and lows of 

a political life. From her humble beginnings as the youngest daughter of 

Labour-voting farming parents, Judith Collins has carved a path to almost 

the very top of New Zealand politics. Collins grew up in rural Walton, 

Waikato, on a dairy farm. At the age of 10 she entered politics, running 

for class president. She won. 

After a successful career as a lawyer, Collins became the MP for Papakura 

in 2002, alongside fellow new recruit John Key. When Key and National 

won office in 2008, Collins became the Minister for Police, Corrections 

and Veterans. Funny, forthright and fearless, Collins reveals what it is like 

to survive-and thrive-for two decades as a senior female politician 

Merchant, Miner, Mandarin 

the life and times of the remarkable Choie sew hoy 

one of dunedin’s most prominent entrepreneurs. 

by Jenny sew hoy agnew and trevor Gordon agnew 

In 1869, a businessman from China’s Guangdong Province first set foot 

on New Zealand soil at Port Chalmers. It was the beginning of an illustrious 

career that would change the shape of commerce and industry in Otago 

and Southland. ‘Merchant, Miner, Mandarin’ depicts the fascinating life of 

Choie Sew Hoy – from his early days in China before emigrating to 

Australia and then NZ, to his death in 1901 as one of Dunedin’s most 

prominent entrepreneurs. Richly illustrated and deeply researched, 

‘Merchant, Miner, Mandarin’ is both the compelling biography of one of the 

most distinguished figures of New Zealand business and an 

intriguing account of late 19th-century society, industry and race relations. 

Weed 

a new Zealand story 

by James Borrowdale 

A fascinating journey through the life and times of cannabis in New 

Zealand. Pot, Mary Jane, dope, skunk, grass, hash, green, hooch, herb, 

ganja, reefer. New Zealand loves weed. It’s the most popular illegal drug 

in our country and third most popular drug overall, behind alcohol and 

tobacco, yet it also represents a troubled relationship. In Weed, awardwinning 

journalist James Borrowdale dives in deep to understand that 

relationship, meeting a fascinating cross-section of New Zealand along 

the way – a nineteenth-century nun who allegedly grew pot, a bystander 

to the Mr Asia syndicate, a convicted heroin dealer turned criminologist, 

people both using and offering the drug for medicinal relief, politicians 

and law-makers old and new. Fusing insightful, personal stories with 

analysis and historical research, Weed lays out the facts as they are – 

about an issue that can no longer be ignored.

Not That I’d Kiss a Girl 

by lil o’Brien 

Lil O’Brien accidentally outed herself to her parents at the age of nineteen 

when they overheard her talking to a friend about liking girls. Half an hour 

later she found herself on the side of the road, with instructions to come 

back and pick up her suitcase the next day. What follows is a heartbreaking 

yet hugely funny story of a young Kiwi girl - the deputy head girl from a 

posh private school - coming to grips with her sexuality in the face of stark 

disapproval from her parents. Bit by bit, Lil finds the inner strength to pull 

herself into an entirely new world. Along the way she’s called out for looking 

too straight in a gay bar, tries to break in to the lesbian in-crowd and figures 

out how to send her internet lover back to America…and explores how the 

hell to have sex with a girl and dates four women at once - unsuccessfully. 

Lil’s story is an insightful and honest look at how you figure out whether 

you’re gay, bi or whatever - and deal with what comes next.

CONTINUING EDUCATION 

Term 3 at Papanui 

High School 

Ivan Mauger Ronnie Moore Barry Briggs 

Three world champions 

rode at Aranui Speedway 

CHRISTCHURCH 

Speedway, more 

commonly known as 

Aranui Speedway, has a 

distinguished history, in 

spite of its short run of just 

10 years. 

Perhaps Aranui 

Speedway’s biggest 

legacy is that three world 

speedway champions 

emerged from the young 

motorbike racers at this 

one venue. 

Ronnie Moore, who 

debuted at Aranui as a 

15-year-old, went on to win 

the world championship 

title twice and Barry Briggs 

won the title four times. 

Ivan Mauger began 

his competitive career 

at Aranui in 1955 and, 

by 1979, long after the 

Christchurch speedway 

had closed, had won the 

world title six times – an as 

yet unbeaten record. 

In 2000, after a poll from 

34 speedway magazines 

around the world, he was 

named the speedway Man 

of the Millennium – the 

top speedway rider of the 

20th-century. 

To have produced three 

world champions was an 

amazing record for one 

speedway. 

Aranui Speedway was 

situated off Rowan Ave, 

behind where St James 

School is now. This site 

was still in sand hills, and 

broom and wild pine. 

Construction started in 

1948. 

Earthmoving machines 

were used to create a cinder 

track and an embankment. 

The track later earned the 

reputation among overseas 

competitors as being one of 

the best in the world. 

The speedway was 

officially opened by Mayor 

EH Andrews on January 

29, 1949, before a crowd of 

more than 10,000 people. 

In the late 1940s and 

early 1950s, the speedway 

was one of Christchurch’s 

biggest summer attractions 

and some residents 

adjoining the area (now 

Rowan Ave) complained of 

the heavy traffic and noise 

on speedway nights. 

As well as holding races 

between North and South 

Island teams, the Aranui 

Speedway hosted the New 

Zealand Championships 

and overseas teams and 

racers. Other forms 

of racing were also 

introduced – sidecars, 

midget racers and ultramidget 

cars (for children’s 

races). 

Stock cars proved a 

popular attraction between 

1954-56 but eventually had 

to be dropped because of 

the expense in repairing 

damage to trackside fences. 

A combination of rising 

costs, declining patronage 

and increasing pressure 

from new housing in the 

Aranui area led to the 

closure of the speedway in 

1959. 

Whether you are wanting to learn 

something new to improve your fitness, 

to challenge yourself, for relaxation, or to 

master a new skill Papanui High School 

offers plenty of choices for everyone in 

their Term 3 Adult Education Programme. 

We offer a wide range of classes such as 

cooking, crafts, languages, fitness and 

photography etc . Our tutors are wellqualified 

in their chosen field and wanting 

to help make your learning experience 

rewarding. We are confident regardless of 

your age, or interest, you will find a course 

that will give you the opportunity to 

extend your personal skills and knowledge 

and meet some new people in an enjoyable 

friendly environment. 

Our Term 3 classes begin week of 27 

July and a full list can be found on our 

website https://www.papanui.school.

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

Long legs for nervous bird 

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. 

IT’S HARD to miss the 

skinny, black and white 

pied stilt on their long, 

bright orange legs. 

They are often seen in 

small groups but they also 

quite like the company of 

the godwit and the oystercatchers 

and are often seen 

roosting alongside those 

birds. 

They are extremely shy 

and nervous birds and 

when approached, even at a 

SKITTISH: The pied stilt is known for being shy and 

nervous when approached. PHOTO: BRIAN BETTS 

fair distance, fly away. 

They like to eat insects 

and worms while wading in 

shallow water or swampy 

Linwood paddocks 

utilising their long legs to 

do so. 

Nests are near water or 

even surrounded by water 

and are made by piling 

up mud a few centimetres 

high. 

When they cannot see 

you nearby the nest (use 

binoculars and patience 

at a safe distance) you may 

be lucky enough to see 

adults with the cutest 

little fluffy grey chicks, 

on their comparatively 

ridiculously long legs, 

learning how to catch food 

themselves. 

How can we help these, 

and all other birds? Keep 

dogs on the lead when 

walking near the estuary 

and pick up litter.

PEGASUS POST 

Learning returns 

to the heart of 

the city 

The WEA is delighted to be opening 

its doors again for the return of adult 

and community educational classes 

this coming term. During lockdown a 

shortened programme of 20 online items 

was offered free of charge. The 300+ 

registrations showed there was a real 

desire to keep learning through the 

crisis. Wendy Butcher from the CWEA 

Council (governance team) said that 

“for some of our members with limited 

computer knowledge, learning online 

was a huge challenge, we commend 

those in our community who embraced 

technologies like Zoom and showed 

their determination to stay connected”. 

Now that people can be back in the 

building however, there is a real sense 

of the importance of face to face 

interactions: for learning, for depth of 

communication and for well-being. 

There is an exciting programme 

of events and courses on offer, 

from: Looking and Understanding 

Polynesian Art to Understanding the 

Treaty of Waitangi in 2020. To find 

out more visit cwea.org.nz or pick 

up a programme from 59 Gloucester 

street in the central city.

a zoom class. 

Christchurch 

School of Music 

The Chinese philosopher, Confucius 

said long ago “Music produces a kind of 

pleasure which human nature cannot do 

without”. Playing an instrument has many 

benefits and can bring a great deal of joy 

to the performer and the listener. Studies 

continue to prove that participating in 

musical activities, has many positive 

effects on the brain as well as a student’s 

health and well-being. Some of the proven 

benefits include: 

1) Increased memory capacity 

2) Improved language ability 

3) Increased empathy 

4) Improved self-confidence 

5) Increased attention span and focus 

6) Self-discipline 

The Christchurch School of Music is 

a family-oriented community aimed at 

providing quality music education in and 

around Christchurch. 

On a Saturday morning the whole family 

can find something to 

suit. Preschool and 

junior school children 

can start their musical 

journey by joining 

in our “Take Off 

with Music” classes 

while older children and adults may 

opt for lessons on a specific instrument 

(including voice). Those who already play 

are welcome to join in one of the great 

ensembles which all take part in regular 

concerts. 

Age is no limit - our Late Starters 

programme provides the opportunity for 

adults to learn an instrument and join an 

ensemble with other like-minded adults. 

If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also 

offers a range of weekday opportunities 

for learning and playing music and, if 

affordability is an issue, CSM may be 

able to offer a discount through funding 

provided by the Rata Foundation and 

CERT. 

Term 3 starts on Saturday 25 July and 

we can take new enrolments in most 

instruments and ensembles. 

Please contact us via our website www. 

csm.org.nz and let us start you on a 

musical journey that will bring pleasure 

for a lifetime.

Natural vision support 

Bilberry and marigold are two natural 

herbs with a long history in supporting the 

health of the eyes and good vision. 

During World War 2, British bomber 

pilots reported improved night vision after a 

nightly dose of bilberry jam before missions. 

Subsequent research suggested that bilberry 

extract may improve microcirculation 

within the eye, with the most significant 

effects found in people with impaired visual 

acuity. 

Bilberries contain powerful antioxidant 

compounds called anthocyanins that may 

play a major role in supporting eye health 

and even in improving the vision. 

One of the main causes of degenerative 

eye diseases such as macular degeneration 

relates to an increase in free radical activity 

that damages healthy cells in the eyes. The 

anthocyanins from the bilberry help reduce 

this free radical damage that could lead to 

serious eye disease. 

Bilberry has also been shown to improve 

oxygen and blood delivery to the eye, 

important factors for maintaining eye 

health. 

Bilberry is commonly used to support 

night vision and alleviate tired eyes, 

eye strain and dry eyes. It is considered 

beneficial for most eye conditions, including 

cataracts, disorders of the retina, and to 

prevent eye problems, especially in people 

with diabetes or high blood pressure. 

The retina is a thin layer of tissue at 

the back of the eye that transforms light 

information into neural signals for the brain 

to see images. 

The retina is very fragile and can be 

damaged by bright light, especially blue 

light. Computer monitors, cellphones, 

electronic notebooks, televisions, LED and 

fluorescent lighting all emit significant 

amounts of blue light and may have long 

term effects on the retina. 

The carotenoid lutein, as found in marigold 

flowers, is concentrated in the macula, the 

functional centre of the retina. The macula 

gives us the ability to see detail and provides 

the best colour vision. 

Lutein appears to be vital in protecting the 

macula from blue light damage. Multiple 

studies have shown that people with eye 

diseases have much lower levels of lutein 

in their eyes and that increasing intake 

of lutein can reduce the risk of macular 

degeneration, the leading cause of blindness 

in older people. 

One study of people in India, where 

cataracts are a common problem found that 

those with the highest blood levels of lutein 

had a 41% lower risk of developing cataracts, 

compared to those with the lowest levels. 

“Marshall’s Herbal Vision Manager” 

provides nutritional support to your eyes, 

with each capsule containing a high dose 

extract of bilberry fruit and marigold 

flowers. This natural herbal formula is ideal 

to support keeping your eyes healthy.

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. 

Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 

SMOOTH (0800 766 684) to ask how 

they can help you with your Heat 

Transfer, as well as any other ventilation 

requirements.
