		In the struggle between Otara parents and the tinnie houses, parents were one step forward last night - just by coming together.

		Otara Community Board chairwoman Su'a Marguerita Ekepati-Leilua said the youngsters getting involved in drug dealing and gangs were the children of church families.

	Waitangi Tribunal - About the Reports
		The natural environment and its biological resources formed the basis of Maori economic activity, but the environment was not the same in all places nor, as archaeologists have shown, was it the same in one place at all times, due to climatic shifts and human activity.
		Throughout the country lakes and rivers abounded and the extensive coastline was nearly everywhere at hand.
		Rivers supplied eels and in the Bay interior there existed a large lake, Omapere (not seen by the earliest explorers), which was rich in fresh water mussels, eels, and other species of fresh water fish.

		Willow trees have always lined the river's banks on either side, stark brown and bare in winter, glorious green gold as the spring sap rises, leafy green during summer, and home to thousands of small birds most of the time.
		During the periodic floods, their tops were the only depiction of the true curve of the river in the great expanse of brown silt- laden water spreading from one stop bank to the other.
		About 6,000 tonnes of rock is migrating from one side of the river to the other, and groynes are being built to ensure that the river stays in its new course.

		It appears that the Inangas are ready to spawn in February, March and April, migrating down stream to that part of the river bank where the high spring tide meets the fresh water and covers the surrounding land with a mixture of sea water and fresh water.
		To those who are familiar with our fast-running rivers, many of which have rapids and falls, it is one of the miraculous wonders of Nature that these tiny fish can surmount such places to their homes.
		In the Waikato River, for instance, the ascending of Whitebait past the Aratiatia Rapids and the Huka Falls on their journey to Lake Taupo in countless numbers must be regarded as an extraordinary achievement.

		The other side of the river became an impromptu camping ground, a shame for those unlucky enough to be in full sun when it emerged at about 8 in the morning, when tents became instant ovens.
		The weather was absolutely perfect, and a big thank you to all who attended (about 25-30 of us, out of maybe 150+ people total?) and helped make it one of the more memorable New Years Eve parties that I, at least, have had.

		It is necessary for members to aquaint themselves with the law and understand that 'no uplifting' means that no jet boating is allowed on the described river at a proper speed (speed through the water) greater than 5 knots.

		The reserve and river was used by school children and families living nearby for recreational swimming but the bad farming practices of the farmer were putting them in danger, said Mr Dobie.
		There was also an issue of young children being forced to negotiate the reserve with cows and their calves.

		The late 1950s and the 1960s was a period in which many of Gerald's key ideas were further developed: the geometrical relations of intersecting faults, the importance of precise interpretation of progressive faulting shown at flights of terraces, and the relations between faults and earthquakes.

		The Otara (Ngati Hau-iti) were annoyed with them for staying, and consequently consuming their provisions, and spoke angrily to them about it; whereupon the Ngati Apa, in great wrath, bewitched them by their sorcerers Tu-mata-whiti and Moko, and then immediately left the district.
		Then some of the Ngati Apa women and children went in a canoe over the river on to the flat to suck flax-blossoms, and before they discovered their perilous position they were captured.
