Paddle for the North
BODY:
What started as a group of mates keen for an adventured, morphed into a quest to protect one of North America's last untouched wildernesses. New Zealander's Simon Lucas and Scott Sinton are the creators of Paddle For The North - a documentary of their 63 day, one and a half thousand kilometre long voyage through Yukon Canada.
EXTENDED BODY:
What started as a group of mates keen for an adventure turned into a quest to protect an untouched wilderness.

New Zealanders Simon Lucas and Scott Sinton are co-creators of Paddle For The North - a documentary of their 63 day, 1500 kilometre long voyage through Canada’s Yukon Territory.
With four Canadian friends and two dogs, the journey opened their minds and tested their bodies. They found themselves lugging their canoes through mosquito-infested swamps to avoid treacherous rapids, survived on the fish they caught and learned from the First Nations people who call the area home.
Interview highlights
Kathryn Ryan: How did the idea for the trip come about?
Simon Lucas: We’d all done sort of smaller trips. Well, apart from Scotty who’d never actually been canoeing before.
We’d done a week long trip, and it never felt long enough. So, we really wanted to get out and explore the wilderness and sink our teeth into it.
When we started looking at routes, it just naturally started picking itself. And we ended up with the 1500km route and two months was a good time to do it.
KR: I was going to say, a week is not long enough, so let’s go for 10 weeks.
SL: Yeah, exactly.
KR: How far north are we, with the Yukon? One of the images [in your photos] looks to me like the Northern Lights.
SL: Yeah, we were up around 67 degrees latitude, up inside the Arctic Circle for half of the trip.
We launched out of White Horse, which is the capital of the Yukon. And the Yukon borders Alaska, so we were way up in the North America north.
KR: So it was about the challenge and the adventure first and foremost. Scott, you hadn’t ever really canoed at all, so what made you think this was a good idea?
Scott Sinton: Mostly ‘cause I mostly trusted the guys. They’re really good friends from school. I knew most of the guys doing it.
We been talking about it and Gabe said: “Oh, I’ll have to get married for you to travel to the North to visit me.” And I said I might not even come to that!
So, I finally booked the flights and said “Yeah, I’ll commit to this big trip”. I didn’t know what I was letting myself in for really.
Yeah, I’d never canoed. I jumped in a canoe and I actually sort of freaked out.
I’m pretty confident in the water, but canoeing was quite tricky. And having to communicate and be a team player and paddle together was quite a challenge.
But a week after doing quite a lot of training, you sort of feel at home in the boat.
KR: What about dogs? OK Scotty, big step for you - but you’d taken a couple dogs on tour as well.
SL: Yeah, the dogs were great. We originally tried to fit them in the boat, but we just had too much gear and they were quite happy just to sit on top.
They were amazing.
We had to do a 25km portage through a mosquito-infested swamp. It was 5km each way and we had to do it five times.
You’re knee-deep in swamp, surrounded by mosquitoes, just dragging these boats, hating life - and these dogs come running up to you happy as because they’re going for a walk. It completely snaps you out of your mindset and just makes you realise that you’re lucky to be where you are.
KR: Describe more about the Peel Watershed, where this adventure took place. Just how challenging is this part of the Yukon region?
SL: So, the Peel Watershed is the size of Scotland. It’s about 16 million acres and it's got seven rivers flowing into it and all of them are canoeable.
It’s pretty rare to go up there.
There’s no permanent structures. There’s a little road, a gravel road that touches the edge.
But it’s completely undeveloped and just thriving with wilderness and has a lot of different ecosystems that are characteristic of the northern boreal forest.
It’s just a biodiversity hotspot.
It’s not only got the rich wildlife and scenery, but it’s got a really ingrained First Nation community and culture that relies on it.

09:05 The fall out from surgical mesh - ACC pays out 10 million since 2005
New figures from ACC show that it has spent $10 million since 2005 dealing with the outfall from surgical mesh implants that go wrong. Surgical mesh is a plastic product that is being increasingly used in hernia repairs, bowel, pelvic organ prolapse and other gynaecological operations to repair weak or damaged tissue. But there can be serious problems with the use of surgical mesh when it erodes or ruptures in the body and binds with other tissue causing chronic pain and infection. Thousands of class action suits are underway in the US against manufacturers that some New Zealand women have joined. The latest figures from ACC show that since July 2005 it has received a total of 624 claims for surgical-mesh related injuries and has accepted 502 claims. As a result ACC has paid out over ten million dollars ($10,029,387) for treatment, rehabilitation and compensation costs.
Patricia Sullivan is a nurse who had pelvic prolapse surgery in 2008 and has suffered massive complications.

Arianna Huffington: Napping in the city that never sleeps
BODY:
Entrepeneur and founder of the Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington says there's one key to success that is overlooked, even in the world's best business schools... the value of a good night's sleep. It's a lesson she learned the hard way. Nine years ago, Arianna Huffington collapsed from exhaustion, hitting her face on a desk breaking her cheekbone.
EXTENDED BODY:
The importance of a good night's sleep is often overlooked as a factor in success, even by the world's best business schools, US media entrepreneur and political commentator Arianna Huffington says.
It's a lesson she learned the hard way. Nine years ago, Ms Huffington, who lives in New York, collapsed from exhaustion - hitting her face on a desk and breaking her cheekbone.
In her new book, The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life One Night At A Time, she makes the case for taking sleep seriously.
Speaking today to Jesse Mulligan on Afternoons, she said sleep deprivation was a global problem.
In this country, a recent Massey University survey found that 72 percent of New Zealanders had fewer than eight hours' sleep a night.
After Ms Huffington's collapse, she studied the latest scientific findings about sleep - and discovered getting a decent amount was by no means optional.
When people got enough sleep, they were more productive, creative, healthier and happier, she said.
"It's not something we can sacrifice on the altar of success without paying a very heavy price."
After making it a priority, Ms Huffington said she now woke up with "a lot of joy" in her life - she stopped walking through life like a zombie, merely ticking the boxes.
"Life should not be just about getting stuff done, it should also be about bringing joy into what we're doing."
From sleep amateur to professional
Ms Huffiington said she used to sleep for only four to five hours a night but now slept for eight hours 95 percent of the time.
"The key is to recognise that every aspect of our lives is impacted for the better when we do that. For me, the difference is transformational."
The vast majority of people, she said, needed between seven and nine hours of sleep a night.
"When we are sleep deprived we don't make good decisions, we are more likely to get sick ... we show up with 40 or 50 or 60 percent of our capacity - it's simply completely delusional to believe otherwise."
She said it was not unusual for cultures to believe things that were blatantly false, and it could take a while for the "incontrovertible science" to catch up with false perceptions.
People were often proud about how little sleep they got by on, but she believed this was merely part of a transitional phase: "We are in the middle of a cultural shift and things are changing."
Politicians were not immune - even if they sometimes bragged about sacrificing their sleep to put the country first, Ms Huffington said.
"The truth is that when they are exhausted, they are much more likely to make bad decisions."
When her friend Bill Clinton was the US president, he slept little, and had since acknowledged that some of his biggest mistakes were made when he was tired, she said.
Overnight 'cleaning out'
Sleep scientists had discovered that sleep was a time of frenetic activity for the brain, when all the toxic proteins accumulated during the day were washed away.
If that didn't happen, she said, they stayed in the brain, which studies had linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease.
"The brain has two modes, either awake and alert or asleep and cleaning out - it can't do both at once."
Even going to the gym was less important than getting a full night's sleep, the lack of which could also interfere with good nutrition, she said.
"When we are sleep deprived ... we are drawn to all the wrong foods, carbs and sweets etc, and also the hypertension grows and we're in greater danger of heart disease."
And beauty sleep? "The skin gets better, the eyes are glowing - I have a lot of stars and models in the book who swear by that - that's where the term beauty sleep comes from."
As for kipping at work, Ms Huffington predicted nap rooms would become as common as boardrooms, and the Huffington Post practised what it preached.
"We have two nap rooms here which are perpetually full."
Her practical tips mirrored the transition to sleep used by parents when putting a baby down.
"I turn off all my devices and gently escort them out of my bedroom. Then I have a hot bath with Epsom salts and a flickering candle nearby.
"I wear dedicated sleep clothes - not the same stuff I go to the gym in - and I read only physical books in bed, I don't read anything on screen.
"I try to give the closing scene of the day to the good things that happen. By writing down three things I'm grateful for, I tend to focus on the good things rather than allow my mind to go to all the dark places."

Sweet Rewards: Indians celebrate 125 years in New Zealand
BODY:
Vaisakhi Mela the harvest festival for the Punjab region of India is as important as New Year. Around 20,000 Sikhs live in New Zealand. One of the first to settle arrived around 1890, his legacy is being celebrated in the 125 anniversary of Sikhs in New Zealand. Lynda Chanwai-Earle is in the Waikato to learn more.
EXTENDED BODY:
Seven-year-old chatterbox Ananya can’t wait to dance.
“We’re gonna dance on stage!” she says. “Our teacher said we’re going to get trophies and certificates and snackpacks. I can’t wait till the trophies!”
Waikato born Ananya is rehearsing bhangra style dancing with a dozen other children at the Claudelands Arena in Hamilton for Vaisakhi Mela - the harvest festival for the Punjab region of India celebrated in April
Ananya’s mum Sonum says it’s important for her daughter to connect with her Punjab heritage. “These kids are born here so they need to know where we come from and that’s what we’re trying to teach them.”
Vaisakhi Mela is considered the Sikh New Year - one of the most important dates in the Sikh calendar. It also commemorates the year 1699, in which Sikhism was born as a collective faith which has around 25 million followers who believe in one creator and social justice for all.
New Zealand’s Sikh Indian population is around 20,000 people who live mostly in Auckland.
One of the first to settle in New Zealand was Phomen Singh, a Punjab born Sikh who arrived around 1890. He starting making and hawking sweets in Auckland before meeting Margaret Ford, an English nurse working in Wellington. They married in 1898 and eventually settled in Palmerston North, where Phomen opened two sweet shops.
Waikato Sikhs living in the region are commemorating his time in the Waikato, marking 125 years of local Punjab settlement in true Bollywood and Bhangra style alongside Vaisaki Mela.
Waikato Punjabi Cultural Club President, Jay Randhawa says over 100 performers are on stage, some from as far as Bay of Plenty, Auckland, and Hawkes Bay.
“It’s very significant for the Waikato people,” says Jay. “We’re proud to be holding it here. So we’re releasing a postage stamp [commemorating him] and we’re honouring our elderly community members with lifetime achievement awards.”
Backstage, boys as young as four are being turbaned with up to 15 meters of cloth by Jay’s brother Mehar Singh Randhawa for the bhangra dance while nearby in the dressing rooms, Jay’s wife Geeta and daughter Sanya are starching meters of yellow, gold, silver, and royal peacock blue fabric for the boys’ and men’s turbans.
“There’s a lot of prep involved, especially for the turban. They’re all in contrast, so you can mix and match them,” Geeta says. “Giddha is the ladies dance, boys and girls can both dance bhangra which originated in the Punjab.”
It turns out some of the New Zealand police are also bhangra dancers and a team from Auckland has travelled down to take part.
Sergeant Gurpreet Arora says it’s about police participating and engaging with their communities and their bhangra group has been performing at Indian festivals across the country, especially around diwali.
“We are not just about attending when incidents happen, we are part of you,” he says.
Also at the festival are a gatka team performing the martial art that embodies the philosophy and the egalitarianism of Sikhism. Its members include children and women but the group prefer to introduce themselves as a team, not as individuals.
Preserving philosophy, language and culture is important to Maduk Rathka and his wife Neelam Madhu who together founded New Zealand’s first Hindi newspaper.
“We migrated from India and together started this magazine so that our children wouldn’t lose the language, to provide the Hindi language in reading form and a connection to our roots,” Maduk says.
Maintaining that connection is a strong theme of the festival and includes the presentation of lifetime achievement awards.
One recipient, 90 year old Tej Kaur, is flanked by her granddaughter, Baljinder Virk.
“My grand-mother was only about 18 when she came with my grandfather, around the 1930’s. They ran a dairy farm in Taumarunui. She’s still doing really well, she’s made us really proud.”
Baljinder’s seven year old daughter stands by her side in full traditional dress for the children’s Bhangra dance, the fourth generation of this family to call New Zealand home.

A group of dedicated Picton locals have spent many years establishing a predator free zone in the town. Kaipupu point is a small peninsula that juts into the harbour and is protected where it joins the mainland with a predator proof fence.
