Could costly seed restrictions lead to a vegetable shortage?

New Zealand seed merchants and growers say blanket restrictions on certain types of seed imports could cost the industry hundreds of thousands of dollars and may even lead to a vegetable shortage. All pelleted seed imports of flowers and vegetables are being subjected to laboratory testing after the discovery of velvetleaf in fodder beet seeds imported from Europe.
But it is feared there isn't enough capacity for massive scale testing, which could result in lengthy hold ups at the border as well as spiralling costs.

Children's book review with John McIntyre

EXTENDED BODY:
John McIntyre reviews two books about our war history – Gladys Goes to War by Glyn Harper, illustrated by Jenny Cooper and ANZAC 'Heroes' by Maria Gill, illustrated by Marko Ivancic.
John McIntyre on Gladys Goes to War by Glyn Harper
Gladys Sandford wanted to volunteer as an ambulance driver [in WWI], but was told – and this was a direct quote – "This will be a short war and women will not be needed. If you really want to help the war effort you should stay home and knit socks and balaclavas". Gladys goes anyway so she can be closer to her husband and her brothers. It’s not long before she’s driving injured soldiers in Egypt. Later she convinces her superiors she can do the same in London. And sadly, great personal loss, her husband and brothers were both killed. She bounces back and that’s remarkable in itself. She was the first woman in New Zealand to get a pilot’s license and in 1927 she drove through the interior of Australia. I’m loving these stories, especially the pictures of women who can and did do anything. And they weren’t necessarily women who were political suffragettes, they just wanted to do what they thought they were capable of. For children, the natural sense of injustice. It’s just plain unfair if someone can’t do something based on their gender. For kids it really opens up the discussion around rules and perceptions and roles, and that’s probably as valid now as it was in 1916.
John McIntyre on ANZAC 'Heroes' by Maria Gill
Stunning pictures in this one, too. Stunning realism of early ANZAC heroes. The book is a collection of Australian and New Zealanders from both world wars. 15 from each country are selected by Maria Giller. And she’s one of our best writers and researchers on nonfiction for children. The collection includes the traditional frontline heroes. I’ve always had a fascination for Nancy Wake as a ruthlessly courageous heroine. But there’s many shades of heroism and there’s some real gems in this lot, too. Lieturenant Doctor Jessie Scott of Christchurch, who trained as a doctor in Scotland and spent much of the first world war running hospitals in Serbia. Total hero, never heard of her – but boy, we should have. There's Joice NanKivell Loch – an Australian journalist who helped smuggle refugees out through Southern Europe and was honoured in Greece.

Vegan Village
BODY:
Hundreds of Auckland Vegan food lovers have swamped New Lynn’s night market for its first Vegan Village evening.
EXTENDED BODY:
By David Steemson
Hundreds of Auckland Vegan food lovers swamped New Lynn’s night market for its first Vegan Village evening, with much of the food on offer selling out quick smart.
The market is the brainchild of Shasha Ali who’s been re-inventing her own Indonesian recipes - vegan style.
When I first meet Shasha she is trying to set up her stall, along with a band of willing helpers, but is being run off her feet with customers arriving early.
“I’ve already sold out my Nasi Goreng and we‘ve only been here less than an hour. Everyone knows Nasi Goreng, but I think mine is the best because I used my grandma’s recipe. That’s a family secret," she says cheerfully.
Her stall is also selling vegan Beef Rendang, which replaces the beef with fleshy mushroom, and I also get to try her spicy chicken satay, made with a soy alternative - and they're both delicious.
Sasha says people may want to eat vegan, but there are options which will allow them to eat food that reminds them of their meat eating past.
Shasha who is Muslim, says she grew up in a big meat-eating household and has adapted some family recipes to be vegan.
She is in the process of setting up her own vegan cafe, and says the point of the Vegan Village at the night market is to show people that vegan food doesn’t have to be boring.
She says to be a vegan is not just to eat food with no animal product, honey, or eggs. It means concern for the welfare of animals. Vegans say they’re promoting an ideal of a "kinder world”.
So here tonight, you can find food that looks, feels and tastes like beef or chicken, bacon and even cheese - if that’s what you want.
There are also delicious vegan chocolate cakes and French crepes.
Animal welfare people also have stalls promoting "beauty without cruelty".
One of the early customers is Clare. She knows there’s going to be amazing food on offer, which is good because she doesn’t like to cook, but she does like to eat.
She says she is vegan because she doesn’t want animals to die or be separated from their offspring, just so she can live.
Clare had been vegetarian since she was 10 but has been a transitioning vegan for the last two years. Being vegan means she has to research thoroughly where she shops, she says.
Vegan Katherine thinks that being vegan is just a compassionate way to live.
She runs a vegan household and her children eat only vegan food. They grew up learning to check product labels but will have the choice to remain vegan as they get older.
Over at one food stall, Tasman is heating up his no meat chili stew, or "chili sin carne”.
He uses imported jack fruit to give it a “meaty” texture but is having trouble getting his massive potful hot enough tonight.
Next door, the vegan ice cream seller has run out of the salted caramel and dark chocolate favourite.
“Should’ve brought more supplies and some extra staff too," he says.
The Nourishing Baker is a bit shell shocked after she sold out of her rich chocolate cakes in a flash.
The cheese maker next to her is also looking pleased with the way business has gone tonight.
The choice to go vegan
It seems that many vegans started off as vegetarians, and transitioned into a vegan lifestyle when they considered the reasons they were vegetarian.
Shasha Ali says some may think a vegan diet is not health but she challenges that. She reckons vegans care so much more about their health and for the environment too.
When you look up veganism online its seems everyone has an opinion over the lifestyle. An American nutrition site says vegans tend to be thinner and have a lower risk of heart disease.
However, it warns eliminating all animal products from the diet increases the risk of certain nutritional deficiencies.
Another website called Ten Vegan Diet Dangers says “ there are no cultures that have thrived by subsisting off of animal-free diets”.
New Zealand site Nutrition Foundation writes that if you exclude a large number of foods from your diet, careful planning is needed to ensure you receive all the essential nutrients.
Clearly it’s a case of balancing enthusiasm with common sense.
The hundreds who turned up at the first Vegan Village market seem to be ready for that. The Village will be back at the New Lynn night market on the last Thursday of this month.

1:15 Electronically-Assisted Groundings
A 12 metre long launch has been returned to Tauranga marina "mostly" in one piece this morning after becoming a victim of what's known as "electronically assisted grounding" - where a GPS convinces the skipper to sail straight into some rocks. The Picton Harbourmaster, Dave Duncan, says it's becoming an increasingly common problem as electronic navigation becomes the norm.
1:25 Journalism Ethics - Richard Pamatatau
The Reserve Bank has stopped offering embargoed media breifings to journalists and financial analysts after a Newshub reporter leaked details of a change to the official cash rate hours before it was announced. The leak was not published but it was sent to several people within the media organisation. So what went wrong? Richard Pamatatau is a journalism lecturer at AUT.

EXTENDED BODY:
Fiona Elworthy has turned a derelict pine plantation opposite the Maungati Church Hall in South Canterbury into a park and walkway for all to enjoy.
“I have written “you are welcome to walk in the cheery tree peace walk” just in case they are shy about going in!”
The small pocket of land was part of Craigmore Station, the family farm that is now owned by Bridget and Forbes Elworthy. Once it was cleared of the pines the first thing Fiona did was to plant the cherry tree peace walkway in memory of her husband, Peter.
Planting has diversified exponentially over the past few years and now, thanks to support from the local community, the park has an extensive native grass, shrub and tree area, several sculptures and a unique timber roundhouse.
Fiona holds a blossom festival at the park every year and people can also have a tree planted and named after a loved one for twenty dollars. “I think there are about 175 different trees for different people here:” she says.

Literacy Lessons
BODY:
Jazz was pregnant when she decided she would like to be able to read to her child. She'd left school with very few reading skills. After three months working with a reading coach, Jaz's reading age jumped three years. Now her little boy snuggles on his mother's lap while she reads to him. Jaz was one on the Adult Literacy Trust's first students. It's a service designed for students who live in rural or isolated areas. Reading coaching happens over the phone or, if there's an internet connection, via Skype.
EXTENDED BODY:
Jo Poland suspects most people know someone hiding a literacy problem.
She's had a career teaching adults how to read and write.
"What really astonishes me is people who whose partners don't know they have a literacy problem. How do you manage to do that? How do you manage to live so closely to someone and hide the fact that you can't read and write? That's skillful," she says.
Jo says lots of people don't know how to spell their children's names. "Some people don't know how to spell their own names."
Jo has set up The Adult Literacy Trust, a charitable trust that aimed at improving the reading and writing skills of people living in isolated, rural locations or who are isolated because of an illness or disability.
The Trust now has more than 50 students dotted from the bottom of the South Island to the top of the North, who work with volunteer coaches who are also sprinkled throughout the country.
Daily coaching sessions take place via Skype if technology and internet connections permit, or by fax and phone and sometimes even mail is used.
The tuition is free to students.
"One of the most compelling things you notice is they are not stupid. They think they are dumb but they're not," Jo says.
Young mother Jaz reached out to Jo for help when she was pregnant with her son. She'd left school early with very few literacy skills and was living in a small North Island beach-side village.
"I wanted to be able to read and write and help my son with his homework and be able to read him books."
After three months of coaching, Jaz's reading ability had improved by three years.
She can now sound out words, read maps and signs, can text and can read the notices at her son's kindy. She is also reading him books.
"That makes me a very happy mother," she says.
