The Far North faces another summer without its vital lifeline, State Highway One through the Mangamuka Gorge to Kaitaia. The gorge has been closed on and off for three years due to extreme weather causing cracks and slips. That means for the past sixteen months visitors and residents have been forced to take the long way around; detouring onto state highway ten via Kerikeri and Kaeo to Awanui and then on to state highway one to Kaitaia. Due to ongoing land movement and yet more slips, Waka Kotahi recently revised the reopening date to late 2024. Andrea Panther from the Kaitaia Business Association speaks to Lisa Owen.

Medical workers employed by one of the country's largest laboratory service providers will walk off the job next week, in Hawkes Bay, Wellington and the South Island after a break down in pay talks. The labs are warning there will be delays for patients; despite contingency arrangements for critical or life preserving services. The technicians and scientists process tests for everything from cancers to kidney and liver function,and of course COVID-19. The strike follows a stand-off between the lab service's privately owned parent company Awanui and workers covered by the APEX union. APEX says the average wage increase claim across the lab professions is about 23 percent. Next week, different specialty staff will walk off the job on Wednesday and Thursday with more strikes planned for the following Monday and Tuesday. New Zealand Institute of Medical Laboratory Science president, Terry Taylor, spoke to Lisa Owen. In a statement from Awanui group on behalf of its lab services it says its disappointed the union initiated stike action after a single day of bargaining and it will be tabling a package next week. "The industrial action will affect laboratory services in Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, South Canterbury, Otago, and Southland regions and will mean delays to services, or no services at all, in most of these regions. Blood testing in the community will be severely impacted across the South Island and some regions will not have community collection services available from 12 to 18 July." It says the priority will be ensuring those who are seriously ill still receive the critical, life preserving services they need.

This session from Going West 2011 is based on an exhibition and subsequent award winning publication Words Between Us -  He Kōrero by Alison Jones and Kuni Kaa Jenkins, which won the 2012 Ngā Kupu Ora Māori Book Awards.  Both the exhibition and the book traced the first Māori conversations on paper from 1769  to 1835. As the authors' wrote, “it is hard to imagine the shock experienced by Māori who first heard written words spoken in the local language. The startling fact about writing was that Pākehā marks could ‘say' Māori words; Pākehā texts could have Māori meaning.” As the speakers note, the first book ever printed in New Zealand was in Māori.  Alison Jones is a professor at Te Puna Wānanga, the School of Māori and Indigenous Education, University of Auckland and was awarded the NZARE McKenzie Award in December 2011 for her significant contribution to educational research. She has worked with Māori scholars and students in the field of education for 25 years and has a fascination with the complexities of Māori and Pākehā educational relationships. She has written a number of books in the area of sociology of education and Māori education. Kuni Jenkins is a professor with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi where she teaches and conducts research.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced drought relief measures totalling $10 million during a visit to Kaitaia yesterday afternoon.Around $3 million of the funding will be spent in Northland.The new measures are aimed at drought-hit communities right across the North Island, all of which was this morning declared as being in the grip of a ''large scale adverse event'' by Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor.The Northland drought was officially declared on February 12.Last week's rain made little impression on Northland pastures. Photo / John StoneArdern arrived at Kaitaia airport about 1.15pm for a whistle-stop tour of the Far North's big dry.Accompanied by MPs, Far North District Council and Civil Defence officials, the Prime Minister visited a dairy farm at Awanui, emergency water tanks at Te Ahu, and a council pumping station at Bonnett Rd in Kaitaia.They then proceeded to a council water treatment plant on Okahu Rd west of town.A pipeline is currently being built from a bore on farmland owned by Te Hiku iwi Te Rarawa and Ngāi Takoto to the Okahu Rd plant.Ardern said the rural sector across the North Island was currently ''doing it tough''.''Water is running low across the board – for drinking supplies, the primary sector and firefighting storage – and we will help our communities to get through it," she said.The funding package includes:■ $10m to respond to immediate needs such as delivering water for consumption, sanitation, wastewater systems, stock welfare and horticulture.■ $421,000 to extend Rural Assistance Payments, which can be used to buy water.■ $2m to support farmers and growers across the North Island, parts of the South Island and the Chathams.The government had previously given $2m from the Provincial Growth Fund to set up temporary water supplies for Kaitaia and Kaikohe.Two emergency supplies in Kaitaia are thought to be days away from completion. A temporary pipeline and pumps from iwi-owned Lake Ōmāpere to Wairoro Stream, which provides Kaikohe's water supply, is awaiting district health board sign-off.While parts of Northland have had rain in the past week it was not enough to break the drought or end the total fire ban.Rain on the scale required is not forecast until May.Civil Defence Minister Peeni Henare, who hails from the Mid North and is also visiting Kaitaia today, said the longer extreme drought conditions continued, the greater the threat to water supplies."Northland is particularly vulnerable with severe water restrictions already in place, a high number of people on water tanks, and significant areas of deprivation. We must act now to have the systems and support in place to assist communities already stressed by drought conditions and the associated water shortages,'' he said.Level 4 restrictions, which allow water to be used for essential purposes only, are currently in place in Kaitaia, Kaikohe, Paihia-Waitangi-Ōpua, Kawakawa-Moerewa, Rawene-Omanaia, and all of the Kaipara.Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta said providing water for human consumption and sanitation was the highest priority."I'd like to acknowledge the efforts of councils to support their communities to date. With this initiative we envisage working with local councils and suppliers in Northland and other affected areas to deliver targeted solutions as required."While the funding announced today is intended to address immediate water-supply issues, it also provides a timely opportunity to advance our conversations with councils about developing sustainable, resilient water service delivery models,'' Mahuta said.

Wednesday 25 of November and the 2nd of December 2015 Eruera Mānuera by Te Onehou Phillis Matua Wiremu-Huta and Professor Taiarahia Black on the 25 November and including the 2nd of November on tumekefm96.9 will continue their discussions of the foundational Ngāti Awa publication of Eruera Mānuera by his daughter Te Onehou Phillis. The narratives in this publication continue to affirm for the readers, and for Eruera when he was speaking anywhere on the marae and at Ringatū 12th he must have been an innovative, engaging speaker. The chapter contents and context-narratives compiled by Te Onehou aims to recover the aspirations and visions of these rich tapestry of historical sources which could have otherwise, have little public record. It can be said for these types of publications, memory is the only way of discovering the past integrated into the richness of the present context. The individual narratives recounted in this publication are more than personal statements. They are language rich reo literacy-related knowledge and scholarship, where emerging readers and writers in the reo will do more than process information; but add to their own-read reo-led experience, engaging in existing and new knowledge accumulated over a life time devotion to Ngāti Awa whakapapa, whānau, hapū and the many marae of Ngāti Awa, mount Pūtauaki, Te Kooti Ārikirangi Te Tūruki and the hāhi Ringatū. The publication by Te Onehou Phillis highlighted in its rich reading and its explanation, primarily lies in the fact, that the words of Eruera Mānuera, his narrative work, its content and value deserve a wider reo audience to integrate and apply the imaginative sources of information from this publication. Every chapter attempts to follow its own Ngāti Awa historical discourse and structure, and it informs the application of the nature of living oral history. At its heart is a continues narrative about language historical sources; the structure of meaning and writing using familiar and not so familiar phrases, terms and individual style of expression. This publication follows the well known process of telling the history, connected to the times of Eruera Mānuera. Eruera does not stand alone in these narratives, he bring with him many other Ngāti Awa personalities, where his priorities and his truths are all structured so as to declare the mana of Ngāti Awa whānau, hapū, and iwi. It therefore follows that this publication is reminding us that we must know and honour ancestral history, and that history is from the perspective of Eruera is authoritative. It is these motivating, encouraging historical publications compiled by Te Onehou Phillis that will supplement and bring new innovative language distinctiveness to support Ngāti Awa Te Toki and Mātaatua Waka reo researchers to undertake reo studies in masters and a doctorate degrees at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.

Toi te kupu, Toi te mana, Toi te whenua Wednesday 28 October 2015 The reo research reflections by Matua Wiremu-Huta Martin and Professor Taiarahia Black recorded in the tumekefm reo irirangi studio Wednesday 28 October reconnected with lines 1-9 of the pātere (chant) Te koko ki Ōhiwa to reinforce the nature of living oral history connected to research and expression, with relevant understandings related to the scholarship of Ngāti Awa Te Toki hosted last Friday-Sunday 23-25 October. Theses informative discussions dedicated numerous explanations to celebrate Ngāti Awa Te Toki, to progress the meaning and the various conduits of evidence based knowledge committed to the lines 1-9 of the pātere (chant) Te koko ki Ōhiwa and Ngāti Awa Te Toki energy. Ngāti Awa Te Toki reinforces the perspective of last week 21 October when Professor Black made the point. “Our oral living history creates a personality of words and expressions; “we want our reo research forums of living oral history to reflect our marae-tikanga academies, the kōrero is instinctive and essential, addressing directly the people’s oral and written literature that has immediate impact”. Ngāti Awa Te Toki follows the established cannons of the language academy of Ngāti Awa marae; Toi te kupu (language sovereignty), Toi te mana (language status and ownership), Toi te whenua (language and land are inseparable). Ngāti Awa Te Toki has its own mana, its own character and qualities enriching successive generations. Ngāti Awa Te Toki whānau, hapū and iwi witnessed the encompassing atmosphere of intellectual satisfaction which makes visible what is special, necessary, and what is meaningful and logical for each generation. This was the significant message of Ngāti Awa Te Toki It is these inspirational, historical narratives that will supplement and bring new ground-breaking nuances to support Ngāti Awa Te Toki and Mātaatua Waka reo researchers to undertake reo studies in masters and a doctorate degrees at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.
