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 />

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 />

www.mcmasterheap.co.nz<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 />

projects concerning,<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 />

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 />

how best to make a vegan diet work for you. No fuss, no fancy<br />

ingredients - just fantastic food using plants, only.<br />

Gaz Oakley (aka @avantgardevegan) has amassed well over a million<br />

followers on social media with his exciting vegan dishes, which<br />

emphasise that a plant-based diet doesn’t mean missing out on taste. In<br />

Plants-Only Kitchen, Gaz’s recipes are easier than ever before - following<br />

his step-by-step instructions, tips and advice, anyone can cook great<br />

vegan food.<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 />

Whether you are wanting to learn<br />

something new to improve your fitness,<br />

to challenge yourself, for relaxation, or to<br />

master a new skill Papanui High School<br />

We offer a wide range of classes such as<br />

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />

Long legs for nervous bird<br />

bright orange legs.<br />

They are often seen in<br />

small groups but they also<br />

quite like the company of<br />

roosting alongside those<br />

birds.<br />

fair distance, fly away.<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 />

at a safe distance) you may<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 />

csm.org.nz and let us start you on a<br />

musical journey that will bring pleasure<br />

for a lifetime.

SENIOR LIVING<br />

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 />

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 />
