INTRO:fresh Here we go again. A new year is upon us and we’re making all the same promises we made 12 months ago. Less booze, more excercise, less Trump and a slightly healthier approach to the use of ouir devices. behind the scenes to squeeze another few billion dollars from the equation before we wake up.
All complete nonsense of course. We’ve been programmed to do exactly as we’re told and this year it’s going to get even harder to stick to your plan. Why? Because the algorithm just gets better and better and you will be subtly pursuaded to behave like the good little consumer you were born to be and the real influencers, the guys at the controls, are getting more and more cunning. Amazon, Google, Apple and the geeky guys you’ll never get to meet are all working tirelessly

A new year for sure but if you want a new approach you’ll need to work harder than ever to make it yours. The future is fresh but it might have a short shelf life if we don’t slow down the consumption and take some time to stop and smell the (slowly rotting) roses. Source Out

FoodSharingTech OLIO - STARTING THE FIGHT AGAINST FOOD WASTE. Over one third of all food produced globally goes to waste. That’s a shocking number when you look at the main issues we face as a society and Queenstown isn’t immune. Technology is always coming up with ingenious ways to change the future and OLIO might be one answer to the huge crime of global food waste. OLIO connects neighbours with each other and with local businesses so surplus food can be shared, not thrown away. This could be food nearing its sell-by date in local stores, spare home-grown vegetables, bread from your baker, or the groceries in your fridge when you go away. OLIO can also be used for non-food household items too. More info: OLIO.com

I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair. Evel Knievel
Born in Titirangi West Auckland, Steve Moase is one of those special talents who has combined his many passions into a sustainable, creative and commercial artistic career. Working mainly in pencil or pen and ink, Steve claims no formal training but in the 1970’s started his career by working in a design studio in Auckland as a Commercial Artist. Since those early days, he has travelled extensively and made a living from art along the way. In 1988 he moved North to Whangarei Heads and now lives on 5 acres at Sandy Bay, Tutukaka Coast with his long time partner Fiona McClurg. A West Coaster living on the East Coast. Steve and Fiona are involved in many local environmental causes and run the successful Tutukaka Gallery every summer.

Not So Fresh & Clean
Since the dawn of time, people have been around things that smelled bad, usually humans themselves (think the sacrificial ceremonies of Ancient Egypt or the bathing boycotts of the Renaissance) or spoiling foods. Enter lovely air-freshening inventions such as perfumes made from rosemary and wine and aromatic wood burned in small ceramic containers. Then came the mid-20th century, when the first modern air freshener was introduced. Apparently, our modern foul odours required a slightly heavier hand, requiring technology originally designed for the military and dispensing insecticides. Thus arrived the aerosol air freshener can, intended to deliver a fine mist of aroma suspended in the air, sure to transport you to a summer rose garden or the top of a pinefresh mountain - instead delivering an extra dose of skin cancer via a depleted ozone layer from the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) released into the atmosphere. CFCs were banned in the 1980s but air fresheners still contain plenty of nasties. Owing to regulatory protections, the $15 billion dollar air freshener industry is not required to disclose the chemicals
in their products (gotta protect the little guys, amiright?). Studies have shown air fresheners emit over 100 different chemicals. Exposure, even at low levels, can accumulate over time and has been linked to migraines, asthma attacks, breathing difficulties, skin rashes, infant diarrhea and earache, neurological problems and ventricular fibrillation. But wait, there’s more! These hazardous compounds can be adsorbed into walls, furnishings and surfaces and be reintroduced into the air. So, how does one maintain fresh status without poisoning oneself? • Get to The Source of the odour (duh) - empty the garbage (or add lemon slices), scoop the litter pan, clean the fridge. • Let in that sweet, free, New Zealand air! Open the window or door. Easy as. • Add organic essential oils to pine cones - those wilding pines are finally good for something. • Grow fragrant plants such as jasmine, roses or lilies. • Make your own: Add 10 drops of essential oils to a spray bottle filled with one cup of water or put a few drops on a cotton ball to freshen up a drawer or closet. 6

Our regular agony column - if you’ve got something on your mind let us know and we’ll get Randy on the case... By UNCLE RANDY
Half a dog?
Dear Uncle Randy, I’ve split up with my wife and she wants half of everything the house, our furniture, even the dog! How do I divide up my life like that?
and familial ties? No, you were in love. She was the other half of your soul, hitherto lost in the void alone and adrift. She completed your very being, the lub to your dub; you foolish romantic you. And in your shared state of passion and adoration, you contractualised the legality of your love for one another. You agreed the terms and conditions and committed pen to paper, cementing love and companionship, unifying two halves of a whole. But that love changed over time as it so often does. As people grow or fail to grow, the crumbling cracks give way to an increasing chasm between the halves, until all that is left are the derelict structures of marriage, collecting dust and resentment. So you annul the contract, part ways and divide the empires. Good idea. Now that you’re split in half once more, you are free to discover yourself as a whole. Find yourself complete and fulfilled, as you are; not in another person, nor in land, wheat yields or slaves. Commit to your own growth and find union with yourself. You are not as fractured as you believe.
Congratulations to you and your soon to be ex-wife. No longer must you suffer the contractual obligations of wedlock, or each other. The restricting demands of romantic indenture, the covenant of commitment and partnership for all everlasting eternity, is over. I now pronounce you free of the governing strictures of the institution of marriage. Mazel tov. Marriage is a relatively modern concept; a societal phenomenon coming in vogue just 12,000 years ago, when humans discovered how to grow their food rather than just chasing it with a stick. And since the normalisation of private ownership of land and material wealth, this neat little bow called marriage has been a means to expand your family labour force, make business alliances, sign peace treaties and ultimately negotiate and augment wealth and power. But surely you wedded your bride for more than her lustrous dowry 8

Baskets of Blessing Awesome job guys, here’s just a couple of snaps showing the enormity of the project.
Last month we ran a short story outlining the awesome work these guys do all year giving families in need a little love when life takes over and times are tough. Baskets of Blessing received around 270 nominations for recipients this Christmas which was supported by thousands of gifts from the Queenstown community showing how much we can do if we pull together and look out for one another.

Two mice meet and start chatting. “Look,” says one, “I’ve got a new boyfriend!” and shows a picture on the mobile phone. “OMG,” cries the other mouse, “that’s a bat!” “What?! The guy told me he was a pilot!” ........................................................ When your first child eats some earth, a bit of grass or a worm, you take it to a doctor. When your second child eats some earth, a bit of grass or a worm, you spit on a hankie and clean it. When your third child eats some earth, a bit of grass or a worm, you wonder whether it still needs lunch. ............................................................ The Queen takes the visiting Pope for a ride in a carriage through London. Suddenly one of the horses farts very loudly. “I am terribly sorry,” apologises the embarrassed Queen. The Pope replies, “Oh don’t worry, if you hadn’t said anything, I’d just think it was the horse!” ............................................................ A guy asks his neighbour in an apartment building: “Mr Trepper, you live directly above me and you have the same 2-room apartment as I do. How many rolls of wallpaper did you buy when you moved in?
“We got 18 rolls,” answers the neighbour. Two months later the guy meets his neighbour again and says, “It’s really funny – I put the wallpaper on everywhere and I still had 10 rolls left over.” Neighbour smiles, “Yeah, so did we.“ ............................................................

Troubled Water neighbours Cambodia and Vietnam over plans to build hydroelectric dams. The construction of a bridge on the Ganges will both increase the impact of the dry season and the likelihood of flooding in Bangladesh. The Jordan River basin is the main source of water for Jordan, Palestine and Israel; a region with existing political tensions. Water access could be the catalyst for future armed conflict between Israel and its neighbours. Climate change is raising sea levels and shifting borders. Rapid population growth, especially in developing countries and the clamour for economic growth are straining water resources. Upstream countries have a natural leverage over downstream countries. A result is hypernationalism over water resources and diplomatic tension. Oil was the cause of wars in the twentieth century, water will be the cause of wars in the twentyfirst. We don’t know how lucky we are to have this important resource in abundance. If we manage to look after our liquid gold, it might make the difference between our survival – or downfall. The true value of fresh water will be learned when we don’t have enough.
TO QUOTE FRED DAGG, “WE JUST DON’T KNOW HOW LUCKY WE ARE MATE.” In 2017, Colmar Brunton research reported that 75% of us were concerned about river and lake pollution. Climate change, cases of unsafe drinking water and concerns about rights granted to take water from aquafers is turning our fresh water into an increasingly important political and economic issue in “God’s own country”. Despite this, we are a lucky country. Aside from a few regional variances, we have ample water and as an island nation, we do not share water resources with neighbouring countries. By contrast, disputes about the use of the Amazon, the Mekong, the Ganges and other river systems are a source of geopolitical tension. The Nile might be thought of as Egyptian but it runs through nine countries. There was tension between Egypt and Ethiopia over Ethiopian plans to build a hydroelectric dam on the Blue Nile, which reduced Egyptian access to irrigation. Eventually the two countries and Sudan signed an agreement that aims to ensure fair access to water from the Nile. But there are similar (unsolved) disputes between India and Pakistan (note: both nations have nuclear weapons) and Laos and its 16

book review
first explains why blogs matter, how they drive the news and how they can be manipulated. The second shows what happens when this is done, how it backfires and the consequences of the current media system. Holiday explains how he has manipulated the media through techniques like ‘trading up the chain’, where, by placing stories in a small, inconsequential blog, he is able to generate stories in national media and create a wave of publicity. Though the book is now six years old, many of the ideas and concepts in it prevail. In a hyped-up online world where information spreads quickly regardless of its validity, this is interesting reading for bloggers, journalists and consumers alike.

Trust Me, I’m Lying is an exposé on the hype and deceit that runs online media and journalism today. Marketing spin doctor Ryan Holiday formerly created controversial campaigns for highprofile companies like American Apparel and did publicity work for blogger Tucker Max. His 2012 book claims to reveal the dark arts of online media – how a vicious rumour can cost a company millions and blogs can control and distort the news. Holiday claims that blogs like Gawker, BuzzFeed and The Huffington Post drive the media agenda and that most bloggers are slaves to money, technology and deadlines.

I only go out to get me a fresh appetite for being alone. Lord Byron
By KELLI MUTCHLER
When Good Milk Goes Bad: A Dairy Dilemma Why does milk go off? Because milk comes from living organisms, it contains bacteria. Pasteurisation kills most of these unseen floaters but those that remain feast on the lactose and turn it into lactic acid. Increased acidity = increased chance the liquid will start to smell like cat piss. How can I tell if my milk has gone sour? Use your senses: check the milk for discolouration and lumpiness. A sour smell is a warning bell. And if you pour it into your tea and white chunky bits float to the top, better get out the grocery list. Can I still drink sour milk? Sure – if you don’t mind the stench and texture. Fully spoiled milk, on the other hand, comes down to your partiality for food poisoning. What do I do with a carton of sour milk? Once again, it depends on the expert. Mom would say “Throw that away!” A college roommate might suggest saving it for a uni prank. Milk that’s just gone off can replace buttermilk in baking, soften skin if added to a hot bath, boil into a portion of cottage cheese, or give those garden tomatoes a free calcium supplement.
Kelli: I’m worried about you, Mr Milk. You seem a bit… off. Milk: If you were really worried, you’d quit leaving the refrigerator door open while you made lunch. Does this mental conversation sound familiar? Dairy is a cornerstone of Kiwi culture, yet how often do we absentmindedly abuse our relationship with that polyethylene-coated cardboard carton? A product as fresh as this requires care and attention, so it’s important to understand the following: How long can I leave milk out? Once opened and stored at the suggested 4.5 degrees, milk lasts 5-7 days. Two hours at room temperature (i.e. while you decide if you definitely want that second bowl of cereal) is a death wish. How long does milk last past its sell-by date? Your mom (and certified health professionals) would say 4-7 days. Your unmotivated friend (and the queue at the supermarket) might tell you 7-till whenever it’s convenient to buy more. Skimmed and trim milks hold their flavour longer than regular milk. 24

Champion of the Arts
Lake Hawea-based singer-songwriter Anna van Riel loves to keep it local. THE INDIE MUSICIAN WRITES MUSIC FOR CHILDREN AND COLLABORATES WITH PRODUCERS AND ARTISTS FROM THE REGION TO CREATE MUSIC WITH A DISTINCTLY LOCAL FEEL AND UNIVERSAL APPEAL – SHE’S WON A STRING OF AWARDS INCLUDING 2016 & 2017 ASA BEST CHILDREN’S SONG.
there wasn’t enough support for musicians and artists in the region, so she reached out to fellow artists. “I wanted to work with local artists so I reached out, offering to swap skills and trade things. I offered some money but I grow my own organic food so I had things to trade – I was trying to establish a real relationship and build a creative community who support each other as friends, I didn’t want a relationship just about money.”
But she says her journey to success wasn’t always easy. As a mum living in a rural location, she felt that

Recording artist and musician Danny Fairley (Arma Del Amor) agreed to collaborate and the pair have since been nominated for two Tui Awards. Danny also recorded Anna’s newest album, ‘Fishing for Stars’ (released last November). Invercargill-based Animator Traci Meek worked on the music video for a track called ‘Echo’, which features a beautiful karakia by Anna’s brother – artist and Te Reo teacher Jeromy van Riel – and singing by her 10-year old niece Tasmin.
We all have to be ingenious and think outside of the square.” Anna says working with others has been key to overcoming some of the difficulties in surviving as an artist in the region. “Share your projects. Be involved in others’ projects and collaborate – it is amazing what we can achieve together. “Arts buildings are being pulled down and shut down due to issues like earthquake risks, I don’t 100% have the answer but I believe we need to collaborate and communicate, work together to change the model and continue to showcase what we have here.”
“What’s hard about the Queenstown Lakes region is that we don’t have long-established artistic cornerstones. It’s a transient place and it’s expensive, we’re all so busy trying to survive here that no one has time to establish these cornerstones. 27

Summer Gardening Tips
Ben Elms (aka Dr Compost) has been working in the tricky Otago climate for years and specialises in composting, edible landscape design and permaculture orchards. Check him out at benelms.com beans will use the corn for support and fix nitrogen in the soil at the same time (look up ‘The Three Sisters’, the old companion planting mix of beans, corn and pumpkin). It’s also time to harvest your garlic. Let it dry for a day in the sun, then hang in an airy, non-sunny spot in bunches of five to ten. Keep your biggest, best, healthiest aside for next season. Keep planting seeds and seedlings in any spaces that become available. It’s not too late to get a late crop of carrots, potatoes, beetroot in. Buy some leek seedlings and plant them now ready for a winter of leeky goodness. Mulch is fantastic this time of year for moisture retention, keeping soil a little cooler and feeding all your favourite microbes in the soil. Happy Gardening.
I’m sure time is speeding up as I approach the halfway mark. I can barely keep up with the garden this year. Slow to plant everything it would seem. Or maybe I’m just in tune with the slow, damp, frosty spring and early summer we’ve been having. Beware of garden burnout over the holiday season as it eventually turns to glorious summer and your enthusiasm wanes or is directed to other summery pastimes. You need to push any thoughts of burnout to the side, a successful vege garden needs you! Training those tomatoes and picking out those laterals so you don’t get triffid-size plants with thousands of tiny, neverripening tomatoes. Those potatoes would love a wee mound up. I generally have two rows next to each other and mound up with generous helpings of soil, compost or rotting straw down the middle. Do this a few times as your potatoes grow and you’ll greatly increase your crop size. Get a bucket of compost and go around all your heavy feeders (think: broccoli, cabbage, corn, pumpkins), and give them two handfuls of that biological goodness. If you haven’t already, sow some beans next to your corn plants; the 30
