NEW ZEALAND DAY, WAITANGI DAY 2013
Although the spirit of Waitangi Day lies in honoring Maori inclusion as equal business partners with The Crown each day, Waitangi Day celebrations are “to give us a full sense of nationhood” du jour in agreement for all that New Zealanders as a team are trying to achieve.
To stay in agreement with the principles of Waitangi’s foundational spirit (to see others different to ourselves as equals) is the benchmark of respect in New Zealand that our founding fathers and mothers hoped for, when they as intelligent and adventurous people inked a deal to uphold justice – in the concept of communities evolving and being strong trading partners working together for the good of Aotearoa, NZ.
Prime Minister John Key said, he believed Waitangi Day was a valuable opportunity for discussion and stood by his commitment.
“How will history judge [us]? History will judge [us as New Zealanders] well because [we] come back year after year.”
He also urged the iwi [Ngapuhi] involved in the Te Hiku collective to sort out their differences and move toward a settlement, saying it would inject as much as $200 million into an area that greatly needed it.
Ngapuhi has over 20% of the Maori population. Ironically, the tribe is one of the last to settle with The Crown. So, a timely speech from the PM to Ngapuhi.

MOM’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 2012 – HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, HAPPINESS THAT WILL STAY
My mom arrives. Her Ngapuhi-Ngati Whaatua eyes are youthful. Glowing with playfulness. They dance like the waves of Tonga, Fiji and Samoa in calm tide time.
Her arms are laden with Christmas dinner. A feast. A kiss, a hug, a warm embrace. An exchange of pleasantries. Then the young, yet old lady dances off down the stairs again. In her role as “super kuia,” she’s mega busy. Having fun, she’s in her element. Mom is so cute today.
Mom’s card says: … el… (more…)

MAORI NEWS: USA ELECTION DAY CHICAGO, HOUSING ISSUES NZ, A YOUNG MAORI GENIUS, NGAPUHI’S BOARD, ALLOWING MAORI TO BE MAORI IN NZ’S PARLIAMENT
Some Maori News:
USA Elections: Tens of millions of Americans voted to decide whether to re-elect democratic president Barack Obama or hand the job to republican Mitt Romney. Shane Taurima reported from Obama HQ in Chicago.
Housing issues prompt hikoi to Parliament: A community group from Maraenui and other small communities affected by the Government’s social housing policy have marched on Parliament today. They say the policy has caused overcrowding while state houses are being sold off. (more…)
DELIVERING THE RURAL MAIL – KEEPING UP WITH RACHEL HUNTER & WILMA SCHIAMANSKI’S HIGH TECH AWARD WINNING DAIRY FARMING WAYS
It’s a long standing Kiwi tradition to deliver the mail.
The simple pleasure of checking the farm letter box is the most exciting event in rural communities. I remember it being that way growing up in my teens on a farm.
To this day, TV that I love watching is Rural Delivery. It’s a TV series featuring stories about New Zealand people who are the unsung heroes of our City populous mindsets. In Rural Delivery I tune in to the faces of people just like us, whose earth romance daily, shows a connectedness to landscape and place that I appreciate, admire and respect. Well mannered people living sun up to sun down as a rule.
On this week’s show: Find out how pine trees in Nelson are being used to create high-tech, architecturally designed buildings that can better withstand earthquakes.
What I learned from last week’s show: The Young Farmers Club have grown their club numbers by 20% during the 2005-12 farming calendar. That’s awesome. Mentoring programs have been established, with new field trips in key areas of agricultural growth teaching skills younger to equip youth showing interest in farming earlier.
What I was thinking: How can the Young Farmers Club help young Maori learn about farming? How can the YFC integrate with Iwi programs to impart knowledge, grow the club in a culturally aware way of New Zealand, showing a good lead for NZ’s bright future in this manner? How can Iwi Development work with the YFC’s Club for win-win partnerships in the upcoming years through cool cross-pollination of ideas, resources co-management and dreaming big as one?
When my mind walks down that country road of thinking, I could spend an entire day, exploring the new frontier of the Aotearoa prairies on that one. However, I don’t want to get too excited about the bright possibilities too much. Iwi and Farmers must do this as one themselves. In future years, delivering the rural mail is just going to get more exciting. More scientific, yet allowing nature to be king too, the story of Aotearoa New Zealand’s stunning cast as observers of all that the land produces for us all. There’s a pretty high standard of rural post delivery traditions to uphold in NZ.
A story that reminds me of my late grandad: Schimanski Dairy Award Winners: Otorohanga farmers Don and Wilma Schimanski are the winners of the Dairy Business of the Year Supreme Award for 2012. The national competition looks at all aspects of a dairy farm owner’s business, in particular farm profitability. Entrants in the Dairy Business of the Year Supreme Award for 2012 were scored out of 70 for their financial performance, 15 for environmental care and 15 for human resources. The competition is organised by Intelact director Chris Pyke. The judges were independent – Professor Keith Woodford of Lincoln University and Emeritus Professor Colin Holmes of Massey University.
Don and Wilma Schimanski have been dairying together for 23 years, and built up their business by putting three farms together. They now milk 748 cows on 184ha. Previously Don was a bulldozing contractor. Their philosophy is to fully feed the cows, keeping them healthy and well. They pay particular attention to grazing at the three leaf stage. Good management means keeping a finger on the pulse all the time, Don says. “You can’t really stop criticizing yourself. My philosophy is to look after my managers and workers. I have been lucky there. The focus of our team is on pasture harvest, and utilizing as much pasture as possible.” The figures show the Schimanskis have higher than average pasture harvested at 13.7tDM/ha compared to the Waikato average of 12.2tDM/ha.”–More@TheGumbootDiaries.
Important too: Is Bruce Wills, National President, Federated Farmers interview on water and its relationship to farming in NZ. “It is our number one issue by far, water,” shares Bruce.
Peace!
Thank you for the news.

DUSTY METAL ROADS OF POETIC FREEDOM – DAME WHINA COOPER & MOKOPUNA PHOTOGRAPH 1975
I must be in a nostalgic Kiwi mood today:
Here’s Dame Whina Cooper, creator of one of the original formats of the reality TV star template for Maori-Kiwis as a highly unlikely action hero. In this photo Dame Whina is walking with her mokopuna (grandchild) on a dusty metal road. She wrote a nation’s narrative with her feet, realigning New Zealand’s future direction to remain within New Zealand’s founding document between Maori and Queen Victoria and The Crown in this 1975 photograph.

$1 BILLION SHOULD BE DESIGNATED TO MAKE AUCKLAND CITY MORE MAORI FRIENDLY
Should $1 billion be designated to ensure Auckland City is a Flagstaff Maori friendly City of The South Pacific Nations Zone?
Yes! I think $1 billion should be set aside for that purpose?
Why? The Independent Maori Statutory recommended to Auckland City that $300 million be set aside for this purpose. Yet in today’s market at today’s current prices, that $300 million is just not enough. At least $1 billion should be designated to make Auckland City more Maori friendly.
Why2? Christchurch City has had $30 billion set aside to rebuild it’s cultural model. A lot of this money is for physical building, yet at least $2 billion is embedded into this figure for cultural shape and form of Christchurch’s rebuild that does allow Canterbury to decide what culture it deems fit for this purpose.

[Photo caption: All Black legend Zinzan Brooke (center) is pictured with fellow world rugby players, Percy Montgomery (left) and Josh Lewsey. Photo: NZH.
Breaking news: “Former All Black star Zinzan Brooke and his wife Alison have been declared bankrupt in the UK.
The news was revealed on the the Bankruptcy Orders section on the London Gazette website and refers to the couple’s B & B operation in the English town of Windsor.
Both Zinzan Brooke and his wife Alison, have bankruptcy orders listed.
Brooke is viewed by many as the best No.8 ever to wear the black jersey. He played for the All Blacks between 1987 and 1997, playing 58 tests and scoring 195 points, made up of 42 tries and three drop goals. (more…)

HOKIANGA MAORI THEATER – BEACHSIDE COMMUNITY LIFE – NORTHLAND
More Canadians are reading today than Australians. Is something wrong with Canada? Or just a slow news day?
Alright, here’s a clip for the Indigenous Peoples of Canada and their Canadian friends as a rare glimpse into Maori cultural life.
The clip reflects the cultural Maori expression of a community in Hokianga, where one of our MP’s Hone Harawira comes from. My own whanau (family) in part, also come from Hokianga on my mom’s side of the family.
The Hokianga Maori Cultural Club‘s art is etheral, otherworldly if viewing from overseas.
They are fiercely spiritual people when they perform. Have a look at who New Zealanders are too.
In their faces I see my grandmother reflected in their wairua (spirits). Surreal. Mauri ‘Ola.
[Incidentally one of the funny things about Maori culture is that you get rewarded for not looking your prettiest. The art of fierce is the idea during some musical items. Peace!].
Kia Ora Te Whanau a Hokianga.

iSPY AN OZZIE CRUSH ON NEW ZEALAND’S OLYMPICS HOCKEY TEAM
So… In iSpy an Ozzie crush on New Zealand’s Olympics hockey team’s hotness news:
Sport MSN reports: “Black Sticks coach Mark Hager has scoffed at claims that New Zealand have been engaging in espionage ahead of their first round Olympic women’s hockey match against Australia.
Brisbane’s Courier-Mail reported on Saturday that the Hockeyroos had suspected the Kiwis of spying on them during a training session in London last week after spotting a film crew in the stands at the Riverbank Arena at Olympic Park. (more…)
KAPA HAKA HIGH SCHOOL COMPETITION – FIERCELY TALENTED WHANGAREI CITY MAORI YOUTH
Sexier than a Maori pixie-tinkerbell character, is Peata Melbourne reading the news in Te Reo Rangatira (the language of Chiefs). Surreal, yet real and reading the news in New Zealand.
Peata is from one of the longstanding entertaining families of Maoridom in New Zealand. Her family is cloaked in poetic humility of spirit.
On her news radar? The kapa haka Maori performing arts cultural theater competition for high school students in Whangarei City, Te Taitokerau Northland. Young people versant in the oldest artform of performing theater of NZ have congregated in Northland for this special event. Plenty of lively culture on display.
Ngai Tuhoe’s young journalist, Rapaera Tawhai, has the story in Ngapuhi Iwi kainga-land.
Love it! Haka up. :)
[Incidentally, Peata has the same wide eyed-spacing as super-models like Kate Moss. A freak of nature at birth, did she miss her calling? She has a Maori-made-for-fashion face. Sexy Tuhoe mama from the diverse Urewera peoples cultural hearth land. From a Hollywood silver screen casting perspective, Peata is all bright eyes, similar to Winona Ryder back in the day. Good genes].
Enough about Peata Melbourne’s fierce cuteness though and definitive art of Maori cool: Also on the Maori News radar today is the concept of Maori people being smoke-free shareholders in the NZX shark pool, buying into their own existing assets in New Zealand. Read that here. All good. :)

WILLIE APIATA LEAVES THE ARMY IN NEW ZEALAND
Willie Apiata, New Zealand’s highest decorated soldier has left the army in New Zealand. Apiata was the only living recipient of the Victoria Cross. His rescue mission in saving a comrade in Afghanstan earned him the award.
Minister of Defense Jonahan Coleman said Apiata had given 10 years of service in the SAS and 27 years in the army.
Army comrades question whether asking for time off to spend with family and being denied, was part of the reason of Apiaita’s resignation.
TVNZ reports Apiata saying in an SAS released statement of his 23 years of military service:
“This has been a decision that I have not taken lightly and it is one that has taken me many months to make. I am leaving to pursue my goals and to grow with my family,” he said.
He plans to become a part-time soldier and helping High Wire Auckland youth. Kia ora to that.
I have weird memories of once living in Hollywood and being able to sense the burdens that rested on Apiata’s shoulders. He is a man who as a symbol of life, constantly was negotiating to push back death off his people. That’s how I would describe his wairua (spirit) as I know it.
Like sports stars, New Zealand’s Rachel Hunter and others, Apiata was cast in the unusual role of having to play a sex symbol for New Zealand to make Kiwis feel safer. He wore a lot of costumes to achieve this price that was required of him.
(nb: Maori-Kiwi people: at times we are all somehow connected as one people, without ever meeting in person).
Chur bro. Rock on. Peace!
Updated: Stuff reports: NZ’s PM said Mr Apiata would be a fantastic role model, but his departure was a great loss. He will not leave the military entirely, remaining with the SAS reserve forces.
Carterton Mayor Ron Mark, a former New Zealand army officer and special forces soldier in Oman, said a soldier of Mr Apiata’s calibre could “pick his price” if he had decided to pursue lucrative overseas security work in hot spots such as Afghanistan.
“That he chooses instead to serve in New Zealand and continue to serve in the community in this manner is absolutely outstanding.”
Elite New Zealand special tactics police officers and former SAS members have earned up to $550,000 a year protecting VIPs and civilian workers in Iraq.
“He would be a highly attractive option for any of the companies that work internationally,” Mr Mark said.
[Simon Dallow and Michael Parkin broadcasted an interview with Mr Coleman on the news].

While high profile Maori leaders like Sir Eddie Drurie and also their own people, are battling to export their water products to the world from specific water sources (and fix their leaky taps situation), Charlotte Harrison and Sam Harrison are prepping for an Olympics show down.
The stunning Northland family of top athletes are Olympics fit for the New Zealand’s Black Sticks hockey team.
Sign us all up for the Harrison fan club of the Ngapuhi Iwi Maori tribe of NZ. And go Te Taitokerau and Kiwi athletes in London 2012 representing Aotearoa New Zealand with their fun team.
Harrison smart water on the hockey field? That would work in the USA.
The Harrisons are from Te Tai Tokerau Northland, their waka is Ngatokimatawhaorua. Their home is the birthplace of a nation, the place where New Zealand’s founding document was signed. Good ambassadors are these girls of that. Good luck! :)

FAST TRACKING HIGHWAYS NEW ZEALAND – GERRY BROWNLEE TALKS NORTHLAND’S NEW BLUE HIGHWAY BUILD
Northland is a fun region of North Island, New Zealand known for its beach life, farming, education, agriculture, innovation in machinary design, art - as well as being an entrepreneurial sanctuary haven with picturesque properties. Billionaires have homes in the beaut North.
Northland is also set to be a converging destination of the wealthy and famous, when Orion’s Larry Ellison and the America’s Cup yachting team begin practice-training on Northland’s ocean waters in the near future in their preparation to The America’s Cup.
What Northland may benefit from though is a new streamlined road. A proposed blue highway to the north’s coasts – that opens up the region, so that guests will appreciate with ease, the place that was the first capitol of New Zealand in history. As mentioned a lot on this blog, it is also the place where our founding document was inked too in good faith, as a nation of one people under Fun.
Te Tai Tokerau Northland is what our founding fathers and mothers of NZ, christened: the birthplace of a nation.
The highway’s cost is $2 billion. In Beverly Hills, a figure like $2b can be described as being like a year of wrangling on the stock market. For example watching the markets, from 7am to 10am, Mon-Fri – with the rest of the days free - are all in a billionaire’s mornings of trading. They have it sweet. That was when the markets were in more trustworthy days.
So with billionaire earning caps on then, a 2 billi road is totz achievable. A doddle. Needless to say our elite rising sports stars and their audiences would appreciate this enhanced road to get to the significant sights of cultural importance. in the birthplace of the nation region.
I wonder what oil wells in the South of New Zealand could pay for this important road? Just kidding. :)

Like all builds, the benefits vs disadvantages of a floated spend when investing in vital infrastructure projects of all kinds in New Zealand – need to be discussed as a normal process in a democratic nation’s dealings and planning efforts. The discussion is taking place at the moment. It should alway start with the minerals map, really! And a region’s agricultural potential and lay out. These two factors always determines the shape of a road if a road is designed smartly. If we get this right, the region’s growth is more robust, and people can enjoy the weekends with a better roading system created too.
TVNZ’s Bernadine Oliver-Kirby and Rene Graham brought an exciting story for Te Tai Tokerau Northland’s future on the topic.
It’s also a New Zealand story, as instead of going to Aussie all the time, on vacations; Kiwis should just spend a week in Northland bonding with family at the beaches instead during summer. Our domestic tourism would love the thoughtfulness of Kiwis as we seek to rebuild our economy.
Northland is a playground for too much ocean fun, as epitomized in the smiles of our bronzed blonde Maori hockey babes, the Harrisons, for example, at London’s Olympics this year. It is these athletes home hood and playground. Ye-ah!
MP Gerry Brownlee of Ilam, Otautahi, South Island (aka Christchurch), gives the highway a nod in the news. So: Kia ora. Life be to you and our hardy hearty people in the South’s mainland too.
Click on the holiday destination road signs to watch the news rheel excitement.
Hollywood Northlanders travel story time: (It is Sunday): Once upon a time, a young lad grew up playing the guitar in church in a town called Memphis.
He sung gospel tunes. His hero was his momma.
Observing the talent of his African-American neighbors, he went on to borrow their sound, put his own spin on the music, present it in a sexy way as a white small town boy, American music artist. As we know, his name was Elvis. His legend: from gospel roots Tennessee to the King of Rock N’ Roll.
Today in Hollywood, his image is used in niche supermarket stores like Trader Joes, to make even rice and water blended drinks, more appealing. The power of good art and marketing as something Elvis helped add to as an artist of pop art’s legacy. It is still on show today.
Summary of Elvis highways in NZ: It would be really cool to listen to some classic Elvis anthems, sunnies on in a convertable - heading to the beach on the new blue highway of Northland. Groovy summer fun, without the snooze fest of compulsory patience testing with roadway congestion on Northland roads at peak times.
