The museum's poppy project coordinator, Alison Jones, says that number has already been exceeded as they've been inundated with knitted, crocheted and sewn poppies from around the country and around the world. She says packages continue to flow in each day, often accompanied with letters or dedications to loved ones who died in the war.

I Love You Honeybear is the second album (under this moniker) for former Fleet Foxes drummer Josh Tillman, following on from 2012’s excellent Fear Fun. A big, bold voice, wry, amusing lyrics and a rich sonic palette of country, pop, soul and funk. Shades of great American songwriters Jimmy Webb, Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman – plus a fantastic performance on Letterman!
Shadows In The Night - the 34th album by the legendary Robert Zimmerman – this time, no original songs, rather, a selection of primarily ballady pop standards popularized by Frank Sinatra. Richly textured, lovely arrangements and some of his best singing in 25 years.
The Holy Bible 20 the 20th anniversary reissue from Welsh band Manic Street Preachers. Songs about anorexia, concentration camps, prostitution, mass killing (and other cheery things like that), the album predated the disappearance of guitarist Richey James, who has now been missing, presumed dead for 20 years. A ferocious intellect, welded to spiky, angular guitar riffs and machine gun drums – their magnum opus.

Living with IBD
BODY:
Happy-go-lucky Briar Lawry laughs when she talks about her perforated bowel, which sent her into the Emergency Department in January this year. She is surprisingly cheery on her first day back at work, after taking a month to recover from major surgery to remove 15-centimeters of her large intestine. But it's not the first time she has had to undergo major surgery-her first operation involved a similar procedure in which she also had a colostomy to give her bowel a rest.
EXTENDED BODY:
“I’ve seen pictures of my insides and they’re not very pretty…”
Happy-go-lucky Briar Lawry laughs when she talks about her perforated bowel, which sent her into the Emergency Department in January this year. She is surprisingly cheery on her first day back at work, after taking a month to recover from major surgery to remove 15-centimetres of her large intestine.
But it’s not the first time she has had to undergo major surgery – her first operation involved a similar procedure in which she also had a colostomy to give her bowel a rest.
Only 24 years old, the Auckland-born writer says one of the biggest obstacles of getting a diagnosis was fronting up about it. “Being a seventeen [or] eighteen year old girl, I didn’t want to talk about these unsightly, unseemly things, it was like, it’s okay, it’ll go away.”
Unfortunately for Briar, the pain and bleeding subside. Initially diagnosed with ulcerative colitis – one of the two forms of IBD – her initial surgery revealed that she had the much more severe Crohn’s disease.
As far as definitions go, Briar feels that there is some misunderstanding about IBD which people often confuse with the less severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). For one, irritable bowel syndrome is treatable with antispasmodic medication, whereas IBD is much more serious, and in Briar’s case, means lesions and ulceration on the lining of her intestinal wall.
For those with either ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s there is no cure, but symptoms can be managed with a low residue and low fibre diet, which for Briar meant a bland diet of white bread, rice and noodles – the foods less likely to aggravate an extremely delicate lining.
Gisborne-born Stacey Stewart is a Master’s student studying international relations at Victoria University. She readily identifies with Briar’s experience. Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis during her last year of high school, she has also been through surgery in the past twelve months. After dealing with severe dehydration and malnourishment last year, she was sent her to hospital and underwent a huge operation to remove part of her large intestine and in part helps to remove the problem. “With surgery I’m able to move on with my life,” she says.
This is not to say that she no longer has symptoms, in fact, she can still experience fatigue, and six months on from the ‘open’ surgery she is also experiencing additional complications as a result of slipping off the operating table during the procedure. When she was finally able to open her eyes after being accidentally overdosed on Morphine, she awoke to find her body full of bruises. But she is matter of fact and accepts the situation. “Accidents happen, and you’re warned about these things before you have the surgery.”
When Stacey’s symptoms kicked in at seventeen, she lost around 30kgs in a short space of time and eventually found herself unable to lift her arms and do the most basic daily tasks; making a cup of tea and lifting a kettle was impossible. For those with IBD fatigue is one of the most common symptoms due in part top medication, but also blood loss.
Stacey feels much better post-op, but UC and the steroids used to treat her symptoms, have impacted on her bone capacity and later on in life, there is a chance that she could end up with osteoporosis. For now, the problem is largely affecting her teeth: “My teeth cost about $4,000 a year, because the calcium is sucked from your bones by the steroids and [your teeth] just break,” she says.
There is no known cause for IBD, and although Stacey has ulcerative colitis, she feels that there is a possibility that her condition may be genetic. “My brother has Crohn’s disease, and he’s really sick at the moment.”
Back to complete her Masters this year, Stacey has a full schedule which also includes working in recruitment at Victoria University, along with volunteer work for Crohn’s and Colitis New Zealand. She will complete her studies in the next two years and is due for her third surgery in June 2015. With her sights set on a career as a military strategist, she says that there have been some benefits to her illness.
“It has completely transformed who I am as a person, and in some ways made me work harder. I’m extremely resilient, and I think the bigger problem will be that I’m a female entering into a male- dominated workforce.”
Briar also looks forward to a bright future, determined not to let her illness get in the way of her dreams and ambitions. “I’d love to put together a collection of different voices from New Zealand women to do with chronic illness or IBD, just to put some faces to these horrible names and diseases that people don’t understand.”

Gathering Goats
BODY:
Last year David Hutchings sold 20,000 goats to meat processors. 18,000 of those were feral goats mustered out of bush around the North Island. David either sends them straight to the works or farms them on until they're up to standard. A new but growing part of his business is picking up and selling unwanted and under-performing goats from the thriving dairy goat industry to a meat company.
EXTENDED BODY:
Six years ago, David Hutchings thought he might be able to make a decent living out of mustering goats part-time and selling them to processors.
He'd been a shepherd most of his working life and knew selling goats could be lucrative if you were good at it.
That first year he sold 1500 goats to meat processors. Last year he sold 20-thousand.
Ninety per cent of the goats David sells are feral but there's an emerging market for cull dairy goats.
Feral goats are processed on a sheep chain but the much bigger dairy goats need to be killed at a venison plant.
David, who lives in Taumarunui and picks up goats across the North Island, says many of the feral goats he loads onto his truck have been mustered accidentally when sheep are brought into the yards.
He often gets calls from frustrated farmers.
"At the end of shearing they've got ten or 15 or 20 goats in their woolsheds bouncing off the walls and they just say 'Could you come and get these goats', so we zip out and grab the goats and that's the bulk of our work."
He also has men mustering for him.
David sends any feral goats that are up to scratch straight to the works but those lacking condition are taken to one of three properties he leases to be farmed on until they make the grade for processing.
Feral goats can be worth up to $35 each to farmers. David buys dairy goat does for between $20 and $50. Bucks fetch a bit more.
Until recently the only options for dairy goat farmers were to kill their unwanted goats and have them picked up for rendering or sell them for pet food.

Milking on the Moove
BODY:
After Glen Herud saw a picture of a Belgium farmer milking cows in a portable shed, it dawned on him that a cowshed could be totally mobile and as a result, he's developed a cowshed on wheels that fits into New Zealand farming systems.
EXTENDED BODY:
Glen Herud is currently milking seven cows on twelve hectares of leased land in North Canterbury. He’s using a milking shed on wheels that he designed and was made by a local engineering firm. He says the biggest challenge before the shed was wheeled into a paddock, was getting resource consent from the Ministry for Primary Industries.
“The main thing they had issues with is the processing unit. No one’s actually tried to build a milk processing unit on a trailer, let alone one that processes milk out in the paddock, so they were worried about cross contamination and any sort of risk that would mean our pasteurised milk could get contaminated.”
Now he’s able to pasteurise the milk onsite, bottle it and deliver it to cafés in Christchurch within hours of it coming out of the udder.
Glen believes that using mobile milking sheds on leased land will make it a lot easier for young people to become self-employed farmers and give sheep, beef and cropping farmers the opportunity to diversify into dairy without spending millions of dollars.
“If we could rotate cows and crops around a farm you could have the cows putting nutrients into the ground, followed by a crop of wheat or something like that so the crops actually absorb the nutrients out of the ground, and so potentially creating a much more sustainable dairy system”.
