RECORD SEASON PREDICTED: The annual kiwifruit harvest began in this region last week — the first commercial kiwis in the country to come off the vines. The forecast is for a record- breaking year, with more fruit produced than ever before. Kaiaponi Farms started its harvest last Thursday. Left, Ambi Singh (assistant manager), Al Knight (manager) and Nancy Ribbon (quality control) are pictured checking the fruit. Above, Holly Owens and Herbie Beckham on the job at Kaiaponi.

The Gisborne Herald • Tuesday, March 9, 2021 HEALTH 5 Brain research today will save lives tomorrow
PEOPLE of any age can suffer from neurological conditions, often debilitating and sometimes deadly. Here in New Zealand, March is celebrated as Brain Awareness Month to help highlight these conditions and the importance of funding research today that will save lives tomorrow. Stroke Tairawhiti actively promote stroke awareness and primary stroke prevention within Tairawhiti to reduce the risk of stroke. The member-based support organisation for stroke survivors and their whanau provide hands- on rehabilitation support services free of charge to stroke survivors and their carers. Raising awareness for stroke is crucial, as “the cure for stroke is prevention, 90 percent of strokes are preventable”, says Stroke Tairawhiti manager/ co-ordinator Caroline Callow. “A stroke is a medical emergency, eg a brain attack. One in four people experience a stroke in their lifetime and it is a major cause of adult disability in New Zealand. “Many New Zealanders can’t recognise the signs of a stroke and delayed recognition means delayed medical intervention and that can have tragic consequences. “That is why we have been actively promoting the FAST message over the years”. •Face—Doestheperson’sfacelookdifferent?Is onesideofthefacedroopy?

MARCH AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Thousands of women marched through the centre of Ukraine’s capital on International Women’s Day to draw attention to domestic violence, which has risen sharply amid restrictions imposed to block the spread of coronavirus. Many of those in the Monday march in Kyiv held flowers and wore traditional Ukrainian national costumes. “The purpose of the march is to draw public attention to how the situation of women has deteriorated, especially during the pandemic,” said Daria Mizina, an Amnesty International Ukraine activist. During the pandemic, cases of domestic violence in Ukraine increased by almost half. Over the past year, the police received 174,386 statements of domestic violence. The marchers demanded Ukraine’s ratification of the Istanbul Convention, a Council of Europe measure to combat violence against women. AP picture TRADE SERVICES
