EXTENDED BODY:
From writing poems as a child growing up in Glen Innes to the renowned Iowa University writers residency, poet, writer and performance artist Courtney Sina Meredith is well on her way.
She as just released her second book, Tail of the Taniwha, it is a collection of 18 short stories, some with a poetic feel. It draws on her life experiences, growing up in Taniwha Street in Glen Innes, and also her Samoan, Cook Island Maori and Irish roots.
Her first published work was a book of poems, Brown Girls in Bright Red Lipstick.
Read an edited excerpt from the interview below:
Who inspired or set the way for you to explore your writing style?
I think it’s a collection of things. Coming back to the Manukau Institute of Technology, where I am the partnerships manager with the arts faculty. I am surrounded by fantastic writers on a daily basis and it was many moons ago now that Robert Sullivan returned from Hawaii and took me under his wing. I think I must have been about 22 at the time when he first approached me after a reading and said, “Look, you’ve got something really special and I would like to help you along in your journey however I can.
Also, Tusiata Avia is out there at MIT and she is such an incredible talent and also a really dear friend. I knew of her work when I was at university a decade ago and knowing that she was out there, was also another really powerful influence. It is definitely a collection of things.
I have always loved Radiohead since I was a child. Thom Yorke, wow, one of the best poets of all time. I think there is a freedom in music that I have basically tried to translate into poetry, into prose and also I have just been open, I guess, to when I have different ideas when I am thinking to myself, ‘This isn’t traditional, this isn’t what people are used to’, instead of shying away from those moments I just try and pursue them with force.
In many ways things began with performance with you, as a singer-songwriter and as a performance poet. Does that verbal and performance element find its way into the writing?
When I was at university and I had just embarked upon a Bachelor of Arts and I was also thinking at the time that I could become a lawyer, so I was doing a conjoint, I knew even then that I really had to think on my feet and I knew that the work had to be good. But it’s more than that. It’s more than the work just being good and coming from a place of authenticity and having complete integrity with your voice.
I knew that if I could learn all of these poems off by heart, it meant that yes I could go into slams, I could go into performance poetry, but if I met people and I really connected with them and they said, “We may have this opportunity for you or not but we don’t know what your work is like”, I would have all of these works to deliver at a moment’s notice.
So I wanted to build networks and I wanted to find a way to have my voice in the world without it having to be watered down or to represent the notions that we already have around what prose or what poetry could be.
I think that’s kind of when the journey first began for me, when I started to think differently about having words on the page and you can see that in Tail of the Taniwha.
Auckland is known as the biggest Pacific city in the world. It is the reality of most people growing up Pasifika today in this country and we understand aspects of it, but that’s not the nitty-gritty of daily life and is that another strand of what you’re trying to write here and trying to get people to reflect on?
When you’re thinking about this generation… I am second generation – my mother was born here, and her parents came across from Samoa when they were both teenagers. When you get to my generation and you’re looking forward into the generations to come as well, in terms of having a sense of place and a sense of belonging and feeling connected to our ancestry and to where we come from, there aren’t necessarily enough conversations around how we deal with that now. How we look at that now and what we’re looking towards in the future.
You’re right when you’re talking about music and sports and people identifying Pasifika communities in this one particularly way, but one thing we don’t really talk about enough with this young generation too, who we’re so hard on because we don’t know the languages, we don’t know the dances, we don’t go back to the islands enough – if at all, is the reality that we were all socially engineered to be like this to some point.
Our grandparents or our parents migrated here with dreams for a better, richer, fuller, bolder future and you now have those young people who are out there in the professions, who are travelling, who are speaking up, who are entrepreneurs, who are contributing to New Zealand and the way that we think about this country in unimaginably beautiful, kaleidoscopic ways. We are adding so much to the cultural fabric of the country, but again I think we haven’t had enough conversations or discussions in the community to accept this generation now and the generations to come and to work on that acceptance and building new ways of being Pacific now and in the future, where it’s not a case of either or, but where it’s about having all of those different strands to your identity and to yourself and being really at peace and fulfilled with that.

The aim is to restore a 14 hectare area of pasture located between two remnants of nationally significant native totara forest.
EXTENDED BODY:
The Otatara Landcare Group is made up of local volunteers who value the natural environment. The group’s main hands-on activity is the Bushy Point Restoration Project, which is working to restore an area of pasture located between two remnants of nationally significant native totara forest on the Otatara Peninsula.
“We entered into an agreement with DOC that we would take over the management of some 15 hectares of grazing area and we would either graze it or sell the grass and use those funds to help replant the area in native trees” says chairperson Barry Smith, who has been living adjacent to Bushy Point for over 20 years.
Since 2000 about 30,000 native plants have gone into the ground thanks to many community planting days and according to Barry, this equates to about 12,000 hours of voluntary work. Managing weeds and animal pests within the large area is also an import task for the 150 or so members of the group.
The restoration project received a planting boost in 2011 from Living Legends, a community conservation project that was set up in 2011 to celebrate and leave a legacy of New Zealand’s hosting of Rugby World Cup.
There were 17 planting projects throughout New Zealand, each dedicated to a regional ‘Rugby Legend’ who was selected in 2011 by their provincial rugby union. In Southland it was former All Black Kevin Laidlaw who hails from Nightcaps.
“Kevin was quite enthusiastic about what we wanted to achieve, but I think the thing that Kevin enjoyed more than anything else was the fact that we were getting young people involved and he felt anything, whether it be rugby, soccer or planting trees, getting young people involved and doing something positive like this was a really good outcome.”
The Otatara Landcare Group has created a public walkway which goes around the Invercargill estuary edge to the forest restoration area where there is a loop walk for all to enjoy.

NZ Pork Awards
BODY:
NZ's premiere pork competition held its annual awards dinner last month. The 100% NZ Pork awards aim to celebrate top class bacon, ham and pork products .This year there were around 200 entries from over 50 butchers.
EXTENDED BODY:
This year over 50 butchers were in the running for 'best bacon' and 'best ham' at the NZ Pork Awards. Country Life goes behind the scenes.
NZ Pork Deputy Chair Steve Kidby says the aim of the NZ Pork Awards is to support local pig farmers and celebrate some of our best homegrown pork products. Award-winners get their trophies at an annual dinner which was held in Christchurch in late July.
This year there were over 200 entries from around 50 butchers around the country - all vying for top honours in a range of categories including supreme champion bacon and ham.
Judging for the awards took place at the Wellington Institute of Technology's School of Hospitality where a team of chefs, master butchers and food connoisseurs assembled for a day of sampling and scrutinising.
Judging is a marathon, rather than a short sprint.
Head judge and chef Anita Sarginson says experienced judges know they need to pace themselves -and look after their palates. "In some categories of bacon they've got up to 45 different entries to sample, so it's really important they take breaks and refresh their palates with mineral water or juice."
NZ Pork's Steve Kidby says judging is a lot harder than it looks. He says he joined the judging panel a few years ago eager to try some of the good quality bacon on offer from New Zealand's top butchers. "By the end of the day I didn't want to see another piece of bacon for a month."
Steve says he's now back eating bacon. "But only the good stuff - only the good stuff."
This years' winners included Thames Valley Bacon for Best Bacon and Akaroa Butchery and Deli for Best Ham.

Using bumblebees as pollinators

EXTENDED BODY:
Scientist Dr David Pattemore is investigating the living habits of bumblebees so they can be used to help honey bees pollinate commercial horticultural crops.
Super-gluing a tiny radio transmitter to a bumblebee is all part of a busy day's work for Plant and Food pollination scientists in Hamilton.
Dr David Pattemore and his team have been doing this slightly unusual task for a few years in order to track bumblebees as they fly off to set up their underground bunker and start developing a colony.
Unlike honey bees which winter-over, bumblebee queens set up new colonies each spring and finding exactly where they nest is virtually impossible with the naked eye.
Dr Pattemore says they want to learn more about bumblebee nesting habits because then they can design cost-effective nesting boxes which could be put into kiwifruit and avocado orchards to help supplement the pollination work of honey bees.
Honey bee hives are becoming more expensive for orchardists to use now that manuka honey is in high demand and there is always the risk that a new pest or disease could wipe them out.
As well as using radio transmitters to locate queen bees, Dr Pattemore has a Hungarian Hunting Hound, Ollie, which sniffs them out in spring.
