EXTENDED BODY:
Why is spelling so hard even for literate adults?
Why should "inoculate" have one 'N" while "innocuous" has two? "Resistant" has one “A” in it, while "temperamental" has two.
Professor Geoffrey Nunberg is an American linguist, researcher and professor at the University of California at Berkeley. He's a longstanding commentator on language on American NPR. His latest book is called The Ascent of the A Word.
He says English-speakers take a perverse pride in the orneriness of our spelling, which can trip up even literate adults. And he argues that spelling competitions, like the famous Scripps National Spelling Bee which is televised in the United States, are much more about entertainment than English.

Medic Recalls London Bombings 10-years On
BODY:
A day of terror on the London Underground. The bombs go off ten years ago.
EXTENDED BODY:
There were people there we couldn’t help. The dead were all around us.
- Former Paramedic Sandie Davis Roberts.
It is ten years ago on Tuesday 7th July since suicide bombers set off explosions in the London underground and on a London bus, killing dozens and injuring hundreds.
A former English paramedic now living in Auckland spent hours helping the injured in one wrecked carriage. Sandie Davis Roberts recalls it was a scene of complete carnage.
8.49am, Thursday morning rush hour on the London Tube; Bombs exploded in three crowded trains, and an hour later a fourth went off in a bus carrying many who’d just been evacuated from the underground.
Fifty two people were killed and 700 hundred injured in Britain’s first ever suicide attacks.
The bombings came one day after London had won its bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games with a campaign which had highlighted the city’s multi-cultural population.Three of the bombers themselves were British born sons of Pakistani immigrants while the fourth was born in Jamaica.
Amongst the confusion and panic following the attack came dozens of professional emergency teams, among them Sandie Davis Roberts who was a senior paramedic of sixteen years’ experience with the East Anglia Ambulance service. It was around noon on the 7th that Sandie in her ambulance was called into London.
“We thought we would take over the regular work of the London teams while they coped with the emergency”, Sandie says.
But soon she was ordered to the Aldgate tube station, where she and her colleague had to traipse down immobilised escalators, along the rail tracks to the wrecked train.
“It was all very hazy and smoky, and really quiet, until we came across this scene of carnage“. A bit like hell she imagines.
Sandie recalls the smell too; “burnt rubber, hot mechanical smells, and the noise! The sound of cutting machinery; there was surgeon next to me, amputating a leg.”
The first person she helped was a woman trapped in a mangled door. She was covered in burns and cuts.
“She was angry”, says Sandie “asking what sort of people would do this sort of thing”; only in stronger language. Her name was Felicity. Close by, a young man had a badly lacerated leg.
“He was praying.“
Then she helped a surgeon who was trying to stitch together the badly damaged face of a well-dressed business woman. Sandie doubts she survived.
Hours later Sandie emerged from the tube station to find it was already dark. She drove home not really speaking to her work mate, and for the first few days she says she didn’t want people to know she’d been “down there”.
“I was a bit embarrassed actually. There were lots of heroes that day, but I was just doing the job I’d been trained for”.
It was only later, when all the ambulance medics got together for a debrief that she could talk about her experiences with her peers.
“We were encouraged to discuss what we did, and if we needed help then there were counsellors on hand”. It was only then she realised how she’d been part of such a huge team which had responded on that day.It was good to know “That it was us”.
Within two years, Sandie had left England to live in Canada and she moved to New Zealand in 2008. In 2015 she is proud of her daughter Amy who works as a paramedic back in Britain, but she says she has no plans to get behind the wheel of an ambulance again.

Happy Herd
BODY:
Thomas and Hannah Oats are contract milking 350 cows for Thomas's parents near Reefton. Much of their enjoyment of dairying comes from the stock, which is reflected in their management practices. The young couple, aged 22 and 21 have recently been crowned the 2015 West Coast/Top of the South Farm Managers of the Year.
EXTENDED BODY:
Hannah and Thomas Oats (above) run a 350 cow dairy operation near Reefton. Milking cows was always what Thomas wanted to do and at 19 he started contract milking for his parents with Hannah, who was 17 at the time.
“I used to play rugby and I would turn down going on West Coast rep tournaments because I wanted to stay home and do stuff on the farm!”
Much of their enjoyment of dairying comes from the stock and many of the cows have names and are treated more like pets than farm animals.
There are cows in the herd that Thomas took to pet day twelve years ago but if they are empty and have to culled, farming comes first.
He says “It makes it nicer to have friendly animals but you just can’t get too emotional about it.”
The young couple, now aged 22 and 20, have recently been crowned the 2015 West Coast/Top of the South Farm Managers of the Year.

Golden Memories
BODY:
Ross is a sleepy township near Hokitika that was settled in 1865 as a gold mining town. Biddy Manera was born there and has become an outspoken advocate for the community. She looks after the Catholic Church, she's won the battle to save the Ross Cemetery after the Westland District Council mistakenly sold part of it, and she's the driving force behind a project to develop a commemorative garden dedicated to the Chinese gold miners, who came to Ross from Guangdong Province in the 1870's.
EXTENDED BODY:
Ross is a sleepy township near Hokitika that was settled in 1865 as a gold mining town. Biddy Manera has lived there all her life. Her parents, Thomas (below) and Margaret, have a farm up the Totara Valley Road that has been in the family for four generations.
“Dad’s only 90 and still doing it! He’s been there all of his life, he left school at 12 and worked on the farm, lived off the land, they’re just a couple of hippies!”
Biddy is a local historian and has a particular interest in the Chinese gold miners and their families who came to Ross from Guangdong Province in the 1870s. At any one time there were up to 400 living in the area and many Chinese artefacts, from coins to Ming Dynasty teapots, have been found in the bush near the township.
“The Chinese didn’t just mine here they had market gardens so they provided food, they would walk into town and sell the veges they grew”.
A Chinese funded project is underway to develop a commemorative garden in Ross dedicated to the gold miners from Guangdong Province.
Biddy has always been an outspoken advocate for the community.
Recently she's won the battle to buy back the Ross Cemetery after she discovered that in 2008, the Westland District Council mistakenly sold part of the Cemetery that included unmarked graves.
“A lot of people think that it was just me fighting the Council, and I was persistent, but it wasn’t just me, I was speaking out for everyone that’s on the hill and their families and friends. It should never have happened.”
