Haylee is knocking down the pins of disability stereotypes

H

aylee Richards is hoping to strike high on the leaderboard as she enters the 2024 National Disability Championships this week at Zone Bowling Tuggeranong. Just as she is knocking down the pins in the alley, Haylee is challenging the perceptions of what people with an intellectual disability can achieve.

Twenty years ago, Haylee started her bowling journey. At first, she needed a little bit of help from the ramp while learning how to avoid the gutters.

“You have to make sure that you don’t twist your hand; keep your hand straight. I bowl really straight,” she says.

Now, Haylee is a confident bowler and a star player in the Canberra Wizard’s League and has travelled across Australia representing the ACT. Racking up strikes each game, Haylee has figured out the secret to success.

“I usually use the lane to watch where I stand, get my feet right and chuck it down the middle,” Haylee smiles.

Haylee’s journey of leaving the family home also began with a little help. After watching her older siblings move out, she knew she wanted the same 8

6 June 2024

freedom and independence.

“My two sisters moved out and I said, ‘Now it’s my turn’,” smiles Haylee.

Flying the nest is an expected part of life for most children. However, for many of the estimated 15,000 Australians living with Down syndrome, it is a milestone they never reach. The journey to Haylee’s independence took some time and a lot of support from her loving parents, Marilyn and Graeme.

“That’s what we all strive for as parents, to have the kids get out on their own. It took us a couple of years to find the right place, but we found a nice place that is old but good,” says Marilyn.

In a two-bedroom townhouse where she converts the second bedroom into an office or home gym, Haylee is thriving. Before the move ten years ago, she had to show her parents she could look after herself without their help.

“She had to prove that she could cope on her own by doing the washing up, the laundry, the floors, and changing her bed. All that before we even thought about moving her,” says Marilyn.

“I used to do lots of cooking—beef stir-fry, chicken stir-fry. I can sweep my own floor and sweep the patio,” says Haylee.

A whiteboard of jobs was left for Haylee when Marilyn went to work. Coming home and seeing that Haylee had completed each one, their concerns were answered, and they could start making plans for Haylee’s big move.

A change of circumstances meant that Haylee’s family needed some support in how to best help Haylee reach independence. Through Feros Care and NDIS support, Haylee’s family and support team were able to work out a pathway to solo living.

“They have just been wonderful. We sat down and worked out what her plan was through the week, what she needed, what supports and all that sort of stuff,” says Marilyn. “I can back off more and I don’t have to be there 24/7. The carers take over, ensuring she does what she needs to and is where she needs to be. She has a full timetable.”

Relishing the opportunity to do more things by herself, Haylee makes her own way around most of the time by catching public transport to work and the gym. She also knows the key to a long, enjoyable career: simply be happy, she says.

Surrounded by beautiful blooms, Haylee has no problem finding joy in her job at GG Flowers and Hampers.

“I trim the flowers, hampers, deliveries and I love them all. I like the smell of the flowers,” Haylee says.

Paying her own way means that Haylee holds down two jobs, the second she has had for over half her life.

“I’ve been with Kmart for 25 years, I do everything; putting stuff out, dusting, making it neat and tidy. I do men’s clothes, you fold the clothes properly,” says Haylee.

Each day Haylee has a schedule to keep, including shifts at Kmart and GG Flowers, the gym, keeping up to date with chores, spending a day making meals and having fun with a support worker.

“She has a better social life than her mother.

She’s a pretty social young lady, she likes company,” smiles Marilyn.

Exuding warmth and friendliness and with an undeniable zest for life, Haylee also ensures she has the time for the things she loves, like music and dance. She shows off her moves with the Xtreme Stars dance group and challenges her music knowledge at DJ Bingo.

Living independently and paying her bills and rent by holding down multiple jobs, Haylee is a role model for those with intellectual disabilities. Sharing her wisdom, Haylee’s advice for others who want the same independence is to be persistent.

“Don’t give up, don’t lose hope. Do some cleaning, cooking and jobs around the house that need to be done,” says Haylee.

Discover pop culture treasures, share classic films and join the conversation with world-leading filmmakers and creatives he Winter Film Series is on screen at the National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) in Acton, with something to draw everyone out of the house in Canberra’s chillier months.

Rocky, Cool Hand Luke and Dr. Strangelove all return to the Arc Cinema big screen this season, alongside other iconic flicks of the 1960s, 70s and 80s. There’s a generous helping of nostalgia for millennials too, with Zoolander, Almost Famous and A League of Their Own on the bill.

The NFSA co-presents the BIRRARANGGA Film Festival from 20 to 23 June: a showcase of outstanding features and shorts from First Nations filmmakers around the world exploring strength, resilience and the environment. Special guests for Q&As throughout the program include screen creative, actor and co-curator Tony Briggs; activist, artist and actor Tāme Iti; screenwriter Boyd Quakawoot; and filmmakers Nina Nawalowalo and Matthias Luafutu.

For families, tickets are available now for July school holiday sessions of Cool Runnings, Lilo & Stitch, Bend It Like Beckham and Studio Ghibli’s Howl’s Moving Castle. Following a sold-out Easter screening of Hercules, the NFSA will offer another family special: a Friday night ‘pizza and pyjamas’ screening of Casper, the first live-action feature to star a CGI character. Parents and grandparents can also introduce young film buffs to cherished classics Annie, Oliver! and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

The Winter Film Series also celebrates women in the film industry, with a spotlight on early career highlights of Australian cinematographer Ari Wegner, best known for her work on Lady Macbeth, True History of the Kelly Gang and The Power of the Dog. The NFSA will host a free panel conversation with award-winning casting director Anousha Zarkesh, celebrated composer Bryony Marks, and Dr Nell Greenwood, CEO of the Australian Film, Television and Radio School, moderated by Screen Canberra’s Dr Holly Trueman.

France may have the secret to affordable housing

wi BILL STEFANIAK AM RFD FORMER ACT OPPOSITION LEADER

I am writing this article from the UK, having just returned from a battlefield tour of the Western Front with a few old 3RNSWR army mates.

The story of Australia’s role in WWI is now one of legend, and it was a great experience to see firsthand the terrain they fought over. So open and flat in most parts.

I was particularly impressed by how many French schoolchildren go to many of the battlefield sites and how they are imbued with a

sense of their country’s glorious and sometimes tragic history. Also by how healthy and fit most of them seemed to be.

Most French people these days also seem to have a very good grasp of English and greeted my pathetic attempts to speak to them in French with responses in good English.

One other thing I noticed was how cheap housing in France was compared to Australia and the UK. The areas we went through were prosperous rural areas within 100 and 200 kilometres from Paris.

You could buy a one-bedroom renovator’s delight in Péronne for about $60k on a 600-square-metre block of land, and a good threebedroom house on a quarter-acre block for anywhere between $150k and $200k. You could buy a five- or six-bedroom house on 1,500 square

metres of land for about $500k.

I’m not sure what their secret is, but it would be sensible if someone in the ACT government found out and saw if we could replicate it in Canberra. I was told their local taxes on land are considerably less than in the ACT, but there must be other reasons for this as well.

Units and houses in Belgium are much dearer and more like Australia, as are house prices in the UK. At a housing forum hosted by the Belco Party in Belconnen recently, a number of interesting suggestions were put forward as to what we can do in the ACT to help address housing affordability (which I will write about in a future article). A lot of the suggestions concerned the release of land and issues around land development by the ACT government.

One suggestion was that if the

ACT government, which owns the land, developed it and sold it at cost or for a small profit, and then first home buyers were encouraged to build a modest dwelling on that land (say with two or three bedrooms), then a basic standalone house could cost first home buyers about $500k – about $250k for the land (a small 300- to 400-square-metre block), plus building costs of say $250k for a small 100-metre-square house.

The views expressed at that forum will be sent to the ACT government and to our five federal reps, so hopefully they can examine them further and use the better ones to introduce schemes and practices to ensure the price of new housing is significantly reduced, so our young people can afford to buy their own home.

If the French can do it, why can’t we?

What the flock – 3,500 poultry descend on Canberra Canberra’s long been known for its birds (Hawke, Peacock, a large owl and a bunch of galahs) but it also boasts the largest poultry show in the country – the Royal Canberra Poultry Show attracting 3,500 birds (chooks, ducks, geese, turkeys and guinea fowl).

We haven’t seen this much fuss about feathered things since the last drag cabaret show, but this long weekend, show birds are flocking to EPIC from as far as WA and Tasmania.

It’s not the prize money this tight-knit community is in a flap about, it’s the prestige of getting “best in show”. Judges have 1,672 classes of bird to judge and then they get cracking on the egg competition.

Royal National Capital Agricultural Society CEO, Adelina La Vita, said there were about 100 eggs entered this year.

“There’s a lot of criteria about what makes the best egg, that includes not only poultry breeds but the actual embryo, the quality of the yolk, the

albumin, shell size and the shape,” Adelina said.

“There’s lots of criteria around the good egg.

When the judges judge eggs, they not only judge the exterior, they crack them open and have a look at the make-up of the egg.”

If you like your eggs sunnyside up, then this show is for you. If you like a good philsosophical debate (the chicken or the egg), this show is also for you.

“The Royal Canberra Poultry Show is pretty phenomenal,” Adelina said. “In fact, it’s the biggest display of birds that we’ve had in Canberra since 2016. The community reveres the Royal Canberra Poultry Show, it’s held in high regard.

“The poultry fanciers community travels and attends multiple shows and they’re very passionate about their birds. That community is a very tight-knit community and it’s not necessarily the prize money, it’s actually the honour of being named and having your bird take out championship prizes. Some of these people

have been doing it for decades - 15 years trying to breed rare, beautiful and perfect birds. It’s definitely a passion over many years.”

There will be food and coffee vans (who knows maybe even quiche and soufflés), plus artistic egg displays and market stalls. There’s also a pure-bred poultry auction, in case you’re interested in picking up a good layer (apparently Australorps are world-record layers). Bring your credit card - a pure-breed usually fetches anything from $50 to $575.

Canberra’s only dance class for deaf people has smashed the stereotypical construct that you need music to dance – music comes from within.

Deaf Butterflies – DeafACT is an exceptional dance class, where students turn conventional dance on its head and move their bodies to make music, not unlike a musician playing an instrument to create music.

Whether it’s being still, or doing continuous movement, or through vibration, this class makes beautiful music under the guidance of their dance teacher, Debora Di Centa, and Auslan interpreter, Sheree Murray.

“Human movement and rhythm - the energy of the body - builds a level of expression and meaning,” Debora said. “We can play with the body we have, it doesn’t matter if you’re young or old or disabled, because we went beyond that. We transmit something through the presence of the body in space.”

Every Friday the group meets at Belconnen Arts Centre, possessing skills that some professional dancers might envy – heightened visual and tactile senses and an acute connection to their bodies.

The class only uses music to enable the teacher to establish rhythm. When we caught up for a chat, we warmed up with a plié and some other gentle ballet positions.

Standing in a circle are deaf couple Vera and Max Hall, Helen Trendos, Vikki McDonough, Greg Ophel, and Warren Love. Regulars Christine Yerbury and Belinda Dawson couldn’t make it today and they were missed.

Warren, who’s also a great mime artist, said the class was “just wonderful”.

“When we’ve had the drumming classes and were able to feell the vibrations, we’re all deaf but we can feel the vibrations and feel that movement and energy,” Warren said. “It’s really good for deaf people, it gives some exposure to music and that sense of sound, even if we can’t necessarily hear it.”

The African drumming was taught by a guest artist and allowed the students to feel the music through the vibrations in the floor, through their feet.

The class also practiced marching.

“We know the timing but the dancers don’t, so they are trained to follow us and they’re coordination is very high,” Debora said. “It looks as

though they are hearing the music, but they are not.

That is the magic.”

Debora is much more than a dance teacher, she is also a choreologist (the literacy or notation of dance and movement) and studied at the London Conservatorium of Music and Dance.

“I can describe and analyse movement as you could do with music,” Debora said. “This knowledge helps a lot because the class’s embodiment is very high-quality so I can push them to try and control the movement even further, like professional dancers.”

Deaf Butterflies started in 2017 and is funded by DeafACT. For more information visit deafact.org.au -Georgia Curry

Wild Yoga at the National Zoo & Aquarium raises funds for Give Me Five for Kids on Saturday 8 June. Image supplied.

Step outside of the studio and into a world of adventure as locals are invited to extend their limbs and fill their bellies when Wild Yoga returns to the National Zoo & Aquarium this Saturday 8 June.

A morning of easy-flow yoga is led by master stretchers from Yogamigos right in the heart of the animal facility. Slither into the cobra pose alongside the white rhino, cheetahs, giraffes and other majestic residents.

As well as being a wild time for all involved, the morning stretch is to raise money for the Canberra Hospital Foundation’s Give Me Five initiative, which supports sick kids at the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children.

Returning after the success of last year, the team at the National Zoo & Aquarium say the community came out in full support and they were able to raise thousands of dollars. They are hoping the community will show up again for the kids.

“We invite all Canberrans to join us and support this fantastic cause, and to enjoy warm drinks and a light breakfast to refresh you after your Wild Yoga adventure. Wake up with our animals, and find zen in the sounds of the zoo,” says Chara

Reynolds, Zoo Spokesperson.

Donations help the children of our region and our nearby neighbours while they receive care in the hospital. Funds raised through the different Give Me Five events go towards helping to buy new life-saving equipment, fund specialist programs, supply new toys and other activities for patients.

For as little as $5, you can help make a real difference, including the purchase of a Venoscope Neonatal Vascular Transilluminator, a device that helps locate veins in babies.

Reduce the stress on little minds and bodies by helping to buy therapeutic toys and tools like the Smileyscopes virtual reality experience that calms children during needle procedures.

No need to be a yogi-master, this gentle class is for all ages, abilities and perhaps species who knows which zoo residents might want to follow instructions.

Get warm with a stretch and hot drink, relax, refresh and start your day the right way.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

Events may feel larger than life, and Thursday’s new moon in Gemini will feel revitalising. You’ll enjoy a reunion. A personal, work, health or financial situation may require focus so that you gain perspective and can move circumstances forwards.

You’ll enjoy meeting someone special. Romance and the arts could blossom so be sure to take the initiative. An agreement is possible at home or in your personal life even if your ideas differ to those of someone close.

Be tactful.

CANCER JUN 22 – JUL 22

You’ll enjoy a sociable time; some Cancerians will also appreciate the chance to revitalise your career, health or profile. Take the initiative with your projects but be careful to avoid crossed lines and misunderstandings, especially midweek next week.

Developments at work or a change of schedule may feel larger than life and will require your attention. A financial or personal matter will require a little diplomacy as well. Avoid gambling, both financially and emotionally for best results.

LEO JUL 23 – AUG 23

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

You are able now to turn a corner at work and in your status. If you’re unsure of your direction, ensure you research facts, as uncertainty will only intensify until you do. Consider your values in a financial or personal matter.

You’ll enjoy a lovely get-together and romance could flourish this week, so be sure to organise a treat. You may enjoy a change of circumstance at home. Be careful with finances as you may need to rearrange some commitments.

LIBRA SEPT 24 – OCT 23

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

A great deal of focus now will go to both business and personal collaborations as a key emotional or financial investment draws your attention. Romance could thrive, but you must avoid making a commitment if you’re unsure of the facts.

Thursday’s new moon will kick start a fresh chapter for you in your communications and relationships. You’ll be drawn to travel and to reconnect with the past in some way and some may even wish to update a device or a vehicle.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

Your work and personal relationships could thrive, and you may be drawn to begin a fresh arrangement or agreement.

However, a fundamental difference in values with someone important must be addressed.

This will be a good week to reconfigure some of your financial commitments, as you adjust to projects that affect your income or expenditure, such as a hobby or a trip. A particular person or organisation will merit diplomacy.

Capitol Bar & Grill welcomes back Josh Smith-Thirkell as their executive chef and has just launched an exciting new winter menu. The restaurant in QT Canberra is regarded as one of Canberra’s best, known for showcasing local ingredients, fresh seafood and incredible steaks.

CW was invited to a tasting of Capitol’s winter menu where they served up a wide range of their new dishes to a number of lucky guests.

We were first treated to some delicious cocktails at the bar before heading off to our tables where we were greeted with a bread basket and an antipasti platter.

The standout among the entrées was the halloumi with honey and topped with figs, offering a delightful blend of sweet and savoury. The fresh tuna paired perfectly with mandarin, adding a pleasant sharpness to the dish.

For mains, they offered up an array of dishes; lasagna, Moreton Bay Bug and prawn pasta, Ulladulla Swordfish and a New York Strip steak.

For spice enthusiasts, the Bug and prawn pasta is a must-try, delivering a delightful kick. And, of course, they are known for their steak and it did not disappoint.

As a lover of desserts, the highlight of the night came from the

final round of dishes. The Basque Cheesecake with lemon curd, honeycomb gelato and candied pine nuts was simply divine. The cheesecake itself was rich and creamy, with the soft middle perfectly melting in your mouth. The lemon curd provided a bright, tangy contrast that cut through the richness, while the honeycomb gelato added a delightful sweetness and smooth texture.

The new winter menu is crafted to cater to a diverse array of tastes. Fine diners will find plenty of indulgent options, while those seeking comfort food after a tough day will also be well satisfied.

Witness queer history with Shakespearean flair Step back to 1962 Australia when homosexuality was still illegal; a scandal at a university is set to explode. It has been uncovered that a junior lecturer is engaged in a relationship with a student, only that’s not the problem - it is that they are both men. The story unfolds in The Will To Be at The Q- Queanbeyan Performing Arts Centre on 13-14 June.

The solo show written by Mark Salvestro, which premiered at the Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2019, has gone on to win awards and please audiences around the country. The work is an exposé of society, love, tragedy and history woven with the beautiful prose of Shakespeare.

On the stage, the audience meets William O’Hallaran, who has just found out that he has been dismissed from his position as a junior lecturer.

“William is coming to terms with what that

means in terms of his life, purpose and what to do next. It is set in real time and over the next 60 minutes, he confides in the audience how he got into this situation, reflects on his discovery of his sexuality and who he is going to be moving forward,” says Mr Salvestro.

While it may be frowned upon now, in the 1960s it wasn’t uncommon for a lecturer to date their students. The issue for William is the gender of the student he was attracted to.

“These men are actually quite close in age, as a junior lecturer and senior student they’re probably around 24 and 28 years old but they did happen to meet within the university context.”

William has been tasked with coaching Henry in his upcoming role of Romeo in the student production of Romeo and Juliet. During a time when society shamed and convicted queer people, a place like a university could be a

refuge, explains Mr Salvestro.

“Universities were sometimes the only places where people could meet through these like-minded interests and find ways to connect …

It is kind of sad that it was the only place that he could let down his guard and meet this man he had so much in common with.”

REGISTERED VETS PROTECT THE WELFARE OF OUR

c munity

C

anberrans love their pets and registered vets work to help ensure you’re keeping your pet happy, healthy and safe!

Did you know? Just like doctors, all vets in the ACT must be registered to protect the health, safety and welfare of animals and people. Registration keeps pets and their owners safe by ensuring practitioners and clinics are qualified, meet standards of practice and adhere to a code of conduct.

“Veterinarians must meet standards of care that are set out in legislation and codes of conduct. Their premises are also regularly inspected and regulated to ensure that you and your pet are safe and well looked after,” said local veterinarian Dr Amanda-Lee. Registered vets are held accountable for the care they provide to animals and go through an annual review process to ensure your pets are receiving the best possible care. Unregistered

practitioners cannot be held accountable in the same way.

“When you visit a registered vet, you can rest assured you are seeing someone who has dedicated over five years of training to look after your pet. A person who is required to continue their learning every year to improve their skills and stay up to date with new advances in veterinary care,” said Dr Amanda-Lee. It is also important to remember that vets are there to support you and your pet in the best way they know how, with specialised medical knowledge.

Dr Amanda-Lee is proud of the work she does and wants the community to know she is there for them.

“I am honoured to work alongside my clients to get the best outcome for their much-loved pets and be part of their pet ownership journey,” she said.

However, no matter the stress or emergency unfolding, this is no excuse to treat vets and vet

practice staff poorly. All people deserve respect at work.

Please let us know if you or someone you know: • Is concerned about how your animal has been treated by a registered vet.

• Is unhappy with veterinary service received or would like to make a complaint about something that happened with your vet.

• Suspect someone is performing acts of veterinary science as an unregistered vet.

You can get in touch with the ACT Vet Board via email at tccs.vetboard@act.gov.au, or you can lodge a veterinary complaint online.

To find the full list of registered vets in the ACT, visit the practitioner and premises register at www.cityservices.act.gov.au.

The Three Musketeers Pt I: D’Artagnan & Part II: Milady (M)

Back in the 17th century, Charles D’Artagnan (François Civil) travels to Paris to join King Louis XIII’s (Louis Garrel) elite guard, the Musketeers. On the way, D’Artagnan foils a kidnapping attempt on a young woman and also runs afoul of three of the King’s best Musketeers: Arthos (Vincent Cassel), Porthos (Pio Marmaï) and Aramis (Romain Duris). The four are soon entangled in a conspiracy with their nation at stake.

The Three Musketeers has enjoyed countless cinematic adaptations over the years since the 1844 novel, most memorably the 1993 Disney incarnation and a 2001 effort with kung-fu fighting choreography from Jet Li’s own stunt double, Xin Xiong.

This effort is truer to the novel’s origins in terms of setting and character.

The production is lavish, with earthy

bronzes capturing the French environment and our Musketeers’ station. The swashbuckling fight scenes are loose and feverish, capturing D’Artagnan’s youthful zest and headstrong recklessness. Arthos is framed for a murder he can’t honestly say he did not commit, and thus the four must clear his name during a burgeoning war between the Catholics and Protestants.

Part II focuses on the mysterious femme fatale Milady de Winter (Eva Green), who serves as a foil for the Musketeers while on her own assassination mission. Part II dovetails into sporadic side missions, but it does conclude the main story while leaving plenty for future outings.

Verdict: An excellent, authentic and exciting adaptation rivalling a Hollywood blockbuster.

Book talk

This week, Jeff Popple reviews three good books about true and fictional disappearances. More of Jeff’s reviews can be found on his blog: murdermayhemandlongdogs.com They Thought I Was Dead by Peter James

Your local, independent bookshop in Kingston Canberra’s newest independent bookshop stocking a large range of quality new books for readers of all ages.

We sell pages for all ages

Macmillan, $34.99 Peter James’ series about Brighton police detective Roy Grace has become a mainstay of the British crime scene, both in books and on television. An ongoing element of the series has been the question around what happened to Grace’s first wife, Sandy, who went missing. Now with James’ They Thought I Was Dead, we finally get a resolution. Told primarily from Sandy’s perspective, this is a briskly paced thriller with plenty of surprises and well etched characters. Sandy is not overly likeable, but James does a good job of generating sympathy for her and the ending is suitably poignant. A must read for fans.

The Lady Vanishes by Alison Sandy, Bryan Seymour, Sally Eeles and Marc Wright Harper Collins, $34.99 Almost as weird as fiction, and certainly just as compelling, is The Lady Vanishes. When Marion Barter disappeared overseas in 1997 the police dismissed it as the actions of a bitter divorced woman.

However, this was not the case. The Lady Vanishes, based on the popular global podcast, details the winding investigation into what really happened to Marion. From the tentative initial efforts by the police, to her daughter’s 27-year search for answers, to the amazing truth uncovered by the skilled team of investigators behind the podcast. Written in a well-paced and lively manner this is a fascinating read.

The Last Victim

by Tracy Hall and Summer Land Hachette, $34.99 The Last Victim also has its roots in a popular podcast, ‘Who The Hell Is Hamish?’ In 2017, Tracy Hall’s life was turned upside down when she discovered that the man she had been dating was actually a prolific con man. Her ‘Max’ turned out to be Hamish McLaren who had a record of using various names, and swindling people out of millions of dollars. When he disappeared on Tracy, he took $317,000 of her savings and changed her life. The Last Victim is an empowering story about what Tracy went through, and a timely warning about how easy it is to be scammed.

Magnesium health benefits: muscle, mind, and sleep

CO

NTRIB

O UT

wi WESLEY SMITH

DIRECTOR, LIVE WELL HOLISTIC WELLNESS CENTRE LIVEWELLNATURALLY.COM.AU

According to a 2018 study published in Open Heart Journal, it’s estimated that a whopping 80 to 90 per cent of Australians have sub-optimal magnesium levels which mostly go undiagnosed.

Magnesium is an essential nutrient in the healthy functioning of every cell in your body. It is involved in around 600 body processes including energy

36

6 June 2024

creation, protein formation, gene maintenance, muscle movement as well as nervous system regulation.

Less than optimal magnesium can manifest in many ways, including the following.

Low energy: Magnesium is crucial to the body’s ability to regulate energy levels, so if you’re low in magnesium you’ll feel tired and your heart will have to work harder during exercise and exertion.

Poor sleep: Magnesium helps you to fall asleep, stay asleep and feel more energised upon waking. It appears magnesium assists in melatonin production and reduction of cortisol levels resulting in better sleep.

Weak bones: We all know calcium is crucial for bone density and strength,

but in order to absorb calcium, we need adequate magnesium levels along with Vitamins D3 and K2.

Stress: Magnesium deficiencies have been shown to increase the level of the ‘stress hormone’ cortisol in the brain. Increasing magnesium levels can have calming benefits for people with busy or stressful lives.

Blood sugar regulation:

Magnesium plays a role in glucose metabolism which means that if you have low magnesium, you’re more likely to have weight gain and diabetes.

Heart health: Low magnesium is associated with high blood pressure, arrhythmia, and an increased risk of heart attack.

Muscle Cramps: Magnesium has been found to reduce symptoms and the pain associated with muscle cramps. It also helps with constipation and poor digestion.

How to boost your magnesium levels: Foods rich in

magnesium include spinach and leafy

greens in general, avocadoes, salmon and dark chocolate to name a few. So, if you regularly eat these foods and have low stress levels and excellent health it’s likely you already have adequate magnesium levels.

However, if you’re already deficient in magnesium, you’ll need nutritional support in the way of a supplement.

There is a range of different magnesium supplements, with additional ingredients to focus on specific benefits such as improved sleep quality. To find a supplement that best suits your needs, ask a trusted health professional.

Magnesium is also readily absorbed through the skin, which is why there is a wide range of magnesium sprays and creams that you can apply directly to affected areas, such as for muscle cramps.

Finally, Epsom salts are high in magnesium so if you enjoy taking baths, then a regular soak in a bath with the addition of a cup of Epsom salts is very beneficial.

WIN! American Idiot tickets Celebrating 20 years since the release of the iconic Green Day album, local theatre company Queanbeyan Players are producing the musical, American Idiot.

The musical tells the story of Johnny, Tunny and Will’s struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 world. When the three disgruntled men flee the constraints of their hometown for the thrills of city life, their paths are quickly estranged when Tunny enters the armed forces, Will is called back home to attend familial responsibilities, and Johnny’s attention becomes divided by a seductive love interest and a hazardous new friendship.

An energy-fuelled rock opera, American Idiot features all the songs you know and love including Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Holiday and of course, the roaring title track.

Thanks to Queanbeyan Players, CW has two double passes to see the opening night show of American Idiot on Thursday 20 June, 8pm at The Q – Queanbeyan Performing Arts Centre.

WIN! Devil’s Corner wine packs Ripe with adventure and reward, the Devil’s Corner Resolution Range is born from a resolve to not shy away from the elements, but rather lean into them. Showcasing Tasmanian winemaking at its best, this range combines cool-climate elegance with an intensity of flavour that truly sets Devil’s Corner apart. Nurtured by the extra gust of wind, lash of a storm, or generous kiss of sunshine from nature itself.

Each year, winemaker Tom Wallace and his team use only select parcels of fruit from Devil Corner’s prestigious Hazards Vineyard to make the Resolution Range, chosen for their superior terroir, and the weather’s influence on their flavour.

Thanks to Devil’s Corner, CW has two Resolution wine packs (valued at $160 each) to give away.
