  • Dan Davin Re-Visited
    40 Roads Around Home: Dan Davin Re-visited Denis Lenihan ‘And isn’t history art?’ ‘An inferior form of fiction.’ Dan Davin: The Sullen Bell, p 112 In 1996, Oxford University Press published Keith Ovenden’s A Fighting Withdrawal: The Life of Dan Davin, Writer, Soldier, Publisher. It is a substantial work of nearly 500 pages, including five pages of acknowledgements and 52 pages of notes, and was nearly four years in the making. In the preface, Ovenden makes the somewhat startling admission that ‘I believed I knew [Davin] well’ but after completing the research for the book ‘I discovered that I had not really known him at all, and that the figure whose life I can now document and describe in great detail remains baffingly remote’. In a separate piece, I hope to try and show why Ovenden found Davin retreating into the distance. Here I am more concerned with the bricks and mortar rather than the finished structure. Despite the considerable numbers of people to whom Ovenden spoke about Davin, and the wealth of written material from which he quotes, there is a good deal of evidence in the book that Ovenden has an imperfect grasp of many matters of fact, particularly about Davin’s early years until he left New Zealand for Oxford in 1936. The earliest of these is the detail of Davin’s birth. According to Ovenden, Davin ‘was born in his parents’ bed at Makarewa on Monday 1 September 1913’. Davin’s own entry in the 1956 New Zealand Who’s Who records that he was born in Invercargill.

  • CREATING EMPLOYMENT for YOUNG PEOPLE in YOUR COMMUNITY
    CREATING EMPLOYMENT for YOUNG PEOPLE in YOUR COMMUNITY Ideas and solutions from The Mayors Taskforce for Jobs “It is terrific to see such varied projects coming out of the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs. We know that there is a wealth of opportunities for young people in their own communities and these examples show that. Every young person who feels optimistic about their community will add value and wealth to the region. This is a Best Practice guide, which not only tells about the projects but also gives you the key factors for success. I hope it will be widely used and the examples copied, changed and developed in communities throughout the country”. Garry Moore Chair - Mayors Taskforce for Jobs Mayor of Christchurch ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A most sincere thank you to everyone who so willingly shared with us information about their various projects and the ways in which these are helping to foster greater community spirit and a coming together of disparate skills. Such cooperation gives cause for optimism – a hope that collaboration will foster the untapped talent of young people and help towards creating a sustainable employment environment for the future. Also thanks to the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs partners, particularly Work & Income, Community Employment Group and the Employment Catalyst Fund who have assisted with funding for many of the projects. Jan Francis (Executive Officer, Mayors Taskforce for Jobs) 1 Prime Minister Helen Clark and senior Ministers with Mayors at the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of New Zealand and the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs, 2nd October 2002.
