anti-establishment notions I may harbour. In fact the other
night I awoke quite suddenly, quite sure the device was
already begun transmitting back to HQ, until I realised I had
fallen asleep watching the cricket.
Now that I have been jabbed you better avoid me because I

anti brigade. They are in peril because I am a crash test
dummy whose “experimental jab” is in the service of the
propaganda machine. (I am not sure who is operating the
machine but I promise to let you know.)
I decided to look up this concept of spike shedding and
ended up even more confused as the only references to this
concept are on a. Anti-vaxxer sites or b. Medical sites

CONWAY WAIAU TB MANAGEMENT AREA
                                            DETECTION BASED CONTROL - WARNING

Vector Free Marlborough Limited wishes to advise that a ground-based possum control operation will be taking place to keep
possum numbers under control to prevent the spread of bovine tuberculosis to livestock. It is important that we keep possum
numbers low, as we work towards eradicating TB from New Zealand over the long term. This operation will be conducted as a
part of OSPRI’s TBfree programme.

Before the operation, Vector Free Marlborough staff will seek written permission from landowners within the operational area to
gain permission before undertaking work. They will discuss the proposed control methods and answer any questions.

A map of the area can be found on the Vector Free Marlborough website under the Current Operations tab.

Description of control area
Amuri Dog Creek - located immediately to the northwest of Waiau Township from Lottery River in the East then along the
Waiau River to Cabbage Tree Island in the West and up into the foothills of the Amuri Range in the North.

Operation date
12 July 2021 to 30 September 2021 (approximate)

Control methods, equipment used and nature of work
     •     Detection Devices (non-toxic chew cards affixed to trees and structures such as fence posts presented with a blaze
           of flour and icing sugar from the ground up to the detection device) will be deployed for 7 - 8 nights
     •     Leg-hold traps or sentinel kill traps will be deployed for 3 nights at the site when possum activity is detected
     •     Concurrent Survey - animal carcasses will be retrieved and submitted for post-mortem

General warning
     •     Follow advice stated on warning signs
     •     Do not touch detection devices and traps
     •     Do not touch possum carcasses
     •     Keep children under strict supervision in the control area
     •     Keep pets under supervision.

Good Old Guacamole
                                                       with Roasted Garlic
                                                       As far as dips go it's hard to beat a great guacamole.
                                                       The roast garlic gives a more rounded flavour and
                                                       removes that after-taste associated with raw garlic.
                                                       Ingredients
                                                       4 large ripe avocados, flesh removed
                                                       2 tbsp lime or lemon juice
                                                       1/4 cup sour cream
                                                       2 tomatoes, seeds removed, finely chopped

1 tsp cumin

Method

Prick the eggplants a few times with a fork and set
them directly over medium-high gas flames. Turn
them often and cook until they are blackened all
over - about 10 minutes. Place them in a colander
to cool.

Carefully cut them in half, scoop out the soft flesh
and place in a bowl. Avoid including the skin.

Crush the garlic with salt and add to the eggplant
with the other ingredients. Mix well, season with
salt and taste to check that the flavours are bal-
anced.
