Vision Blinds Vision is an innovative new window blind featuring two layers of translucent and opaque horizontal striped fabric that glide pasts each other providing flexibility in shading and a real statement at your window. The blind can also be raised and lowered just like a roller blind giving you the option of full privacy or a clear view outside. Louvolite’s stunning Vision fabric collection includes a range of textures
and tones, subtle metallic shimmers and blackout options too, making these blinds perfect for any room in the house. You can of course create even more of a feature and bespoke your blind by choosing a coordinating or contrasting headrail cassette and bottom bar. If you need any window furnishings before Christmas then don’t wait until it’s too late! Make an appointment today for one of our decorators to come and see you.

‘Light hearted’ look at polio AUTHOR Fran Henke realised the need for a book outlining the latest expert advice for polio survivors after attending a conference in Sydney last year. “Experts from around the world were speaking on the main areas of concern for us and I wanted to get that new information to the often isolated people who need it most,” Mrs Henke said. “The exchange of ideas on management for polio survivors in the second round of the fight with the polio virus has proved vital in the absence of wide understanding of post-polio syndrome in the medical profession.” Mrs Henke, of Hastings, says publication of the book Life Skills for Polios – a light hearted handbook was only made possible with donations of more than $4000 from Mornington Peninsula-based service clubs. She said money from sales of the book will go towards this month’s Polio Day, which has the theme Your Mind Matters.
“The issue of mental health for polio survivors, still dealing with childhood traumas and often cruel treatment, has been neglected,” Mrs Henke said. Speakers at Polio Day on 21 October in Bendigo, will include psychologists on dealing with chronic and degenerative illness, ageing successfully with a long term disability and mindfulness. Mrs Henke, a polio survivour, compiled and illustrated the book with the themes of home, body and mind – covering downsizing, tips for managing the kitchen and laundry in a wheelchair, plus “the big topics” of pain, fatigue, exercise and “coping with past tough treatment in the face of new symptoms”. Life Skills for Polios – a light hearted handbook is available from flyingponypress@ gmail.com for $15 plus $7. An ebook version is planned.
