I and my fellow trustees are the up-and-coming generations. cognizant of the need to build the Foundation’s strategic For too long it has been alliances carefully and deliberately. The current economic acceptable to be unhealthy, now climate is such that the funding environment for the arts smoking is so uncool – its passé remains less than benign. Whilst that has been the case, the Trustees are – fantastic I say! proud of the successes of the Foundation in the past year. I am pleased to report a strong financial performance during the 2009-2010 period. This is The Aroha Festival was a project the product of close financial management and is a testimony to our staff and born from something I believe those who we work with to support our work. Artistic and creative endeavour is important - a festival for fresh is challenging at best if not highly risky and the Foundation is fortunate to talent and experienced arts have not only a highly creative team to support its strategic direction but working together – from the Glam also one that is administratively competent. It is difficult to create the right Boy Showcase of young artists producing and performing, balance between artistic flair and financial prudence and I am pleased to whilst closing down parts of K Rd for street parties, to the acknowledge Mika’s dedication to both performance of Pō | Beautiful Darkness – A Tribal Pop Opera with the Auckland Philharmonia, for Pasifika. 12 kids under 25 Central to our activities of the Foundation are the Kā programmes, which gained paid jobs with us for 6 months leading to employment. stem from the Kā – schools programme.

Significant artistic experience was provided for and gained by the team and the performing I would like to make a special thanks to the trustees, patrons, artists, which aligns with the Foundation’s objectives. staff and volunteers who make Mika Haka Foundation happen. Significant progress has been made in acquiring the support of key strategic Mika partners and securing additional partnership agreements with both funding bodies and commercial sponsors. This success can of course be attributed to the indefatigable work of Mika. His work is of course characterised by strong belief in the Foundation’s core values and kaupapa. The Foundation is in a healthy financial position and we look forward to strengthening that position in the new year. The year ahead offers the opportunity to consolidate our activities and expand our existing services. Part of this development will be achieved with outcomes from our Emerging Leaders Program and our feature productions. We particularly look forward to the opportunities provided by the Rugby World Cup to advance the Foundation’s kaupapa. Finally I wish to thank our sponsors, supporters and staff without whom the work of the Foundation would not be possible.

  • Te Rimu Tahi, Ponsonby Road Masterplan
    Te Rimu Tahi Ponsonby Road Masterplan - Maori Heritage Report June 2013 Ngarimu Blair for Auckland Council 1 1. Introduction The Waitemata Local Board and representatives from a number of community groups (supported by Auckland Council and Auckland Transport) are working together to develop a Master Plan for Ponsonby Road. The Ponsonby Road Master Plan will present a comprehensive blue print for improvement to the urban realm of Ponsonby Road over the next 30 years. The Master Plan will be prepared following a ‘complete street/ living arterial’ approach. The Master Plan is intended to facilitate the achievement of an urban realm that better meets the community's desired outcomes in the future. The Auckland Council commissioned this report on Maori heritage values and opportunities from Ngarimu Blair in order to better engage with relevant Iwi for the project area. The Iwi listed by Auckland Council for this project includes Ngati Te Ata, Te Aakitai, Ngati Whatua Orakei, Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua, Ngai Tai ki Tamaki, Ngati Maru, Ngati Paoa and Te Kawerau a Maki. Specifically the brief for this report is; Background research to identify areas of past (pre-European) Maori Occupation, Use and activity within the Ponsonby Road Master Plan study area; Background research to identify the more recent history of Urban Maori activity within the Ponsonby Road Master Plan study area; and Preparation of a short report outlining the findings of this research, which specifically provides: (1) an historic context statement; (2) a short issues analysis that identifies high-level positive, negative, and neutral issues (with regard to cultural heritage) and gaps in information that could not be filled through research or within the timeframe; and (3) recommendations for preservation, protection or celebration of the cultural heritage.

    Julian Dashper Michael Lett 312 Karangahape Road Cnr K Rd & East St PO Box 68287 Newton Auckland 1145 New Zealand P+ 64 9 309 7848 [email protected] www.michaellett.com Julian Dashper Born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1960. Dashper graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Auckland in 1982. He has exhibited widely in New Zealand, Australia, and Europe since 1980. His major New Zealand exhibitions include, Julian Dashper’s Greatest Hits, Govett Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth, 1992; The Big Bang Theory, Artspace, 1994; and The Twist, Waikato Museum of Art and History, 1998. Much of Dashper’s work concerns the connections between abstract art and popular culture. One of his themes is the reading of international modernism in New Zealand art, and how in New Zealand we know the great modernist works largely through reproduction. Another is the canon – the list of artists regarded by the culture as great. The Big Bang Theory for instance puts the names of major New Zealand regional artists on drumkits, as though they were rock bands. In 2001 Dashper was awarded a Fulbright scholarship and was the artist-in- residence at the Donald Judd Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas.

Maps were scanned rotated and scaled according to tags on individual plans, or were placed according to coincidence with existing road networks and the known his- toric coastline. Distortion was inevitable since historic maps were often stylised, never orthocorrected, and often poorly surveyed. Other reference material included historic photographs, historic aerial photography, allotment maps from the 19th cen- tury, focus site plans and early city planning documents.

  • J the Strike Over There Was Substantially Over Wage Rates Which
    I Over recent weeks the involvem ent o f crewmen o f the N Z ship Ngahere in the Strike by Fijian W atersiders has been very much in the news. This series o f events has been used for political capital by both the NZ and Fijian G overnments and unfort­ unately m ost o f the coverage in the N Z press has been concerned with only this side o f the story. Recently D on M ackay spoke with two o f the N gahere ’ c r e w members and got their first hand account of events. This is the first, and possibly the only chance for them to present to the public their account o f events as they saw them . Accordingly it is reproduced below w ithout further com m ent, j edited to a presentable length. The strike over there was substantially over wage rates which in the Islands are disastrously low. We established for instance that in the sugar mill itself wage levels were around $1 per hour and the pressure of the work is extremely hard. The mill itself is outdated and the conditions quite primitive. The exploitation of workers is acute. It’s almost beyond belief when you’re adjusted to NZ living standards and conditions of work.” “The Emperor Gold Mines are extremely deep, some 4000 feet, going down 23 levels. At the lower levels there is volcanic boiling water emerging from the rock face. Each miner needs 2 hoses to continue work, one to cool the drill he is using and one to keep him from dying from overheating.

    Thomas was identified by a Pukekohe jeweller as being the man who brought in a rolled gold watch to be repaired which was covered in blood and mucus. 5. A woman claiming to be a close friend of Jeanette’s testified that Arthur had ‘pestered’ Jeanette at local dances, and that he had a ‘passion’ for her. In their case against Thomas theCrown also presented snippets of information such as the fatal bullets being marked ‘8’, relating this to the finding of one, and o n e o n ly No. ‘8’ bullet on Thomas’ THOMAS farm; one of five pieces of wire being sim ila r in composition to some wire found on his farm; and comments allegedly made by Arthur Thomas which were supposed to be sinister. RIFLING MARKS On the first point, that of the rifling marks, there was also another rifle of the 64 tested from the area which could have fired the bullets. The testing of the rifles was by no means exhaustive - at least fifteen .22 rifles in the nearby districts were untested. The other rifle whose rifling coincided with the markings on the bullets was, strangely enough, owned by a family whose father was murdered thirty odd years ago. They live approximately half a mile away from the Crewe farmhouse. Compare this with the eight miles between Arthur’s and Crewe’s. T H E A X L E S The Crown tried very hard to prove that the axle had been tied to the body of Harvey Crewe, but obviously the only way this could be done was to have a diver look.
