I am hoping that you can assist me! I am trying to locate what is called
the Pennywell miniature pig. I am hoping to locate a breeder in your area,
as I understand they originated in New Zealand. I would appreciate any
info that you have regarding this. contact@nzedge.com

I fondly remember 21 years ago when Mr. and Mrs. Bowen opened their home
to me for a visit right around this same time of year. Being a California
native, I was far from home traveling with a family I was working for as a
nanny. I knew Mr. Bowen was a champion sheep shearer, but at the time did
not realize what a truly amazing man he was. I came across your wonderful
article today and wanted to say thank you.

I was born in Tauranga but came over to Australia with my father's work.
My great uncle is Joseph Sinel whom I
loved dearly. Very, very eccentric fellow but a gem all the same. My son
and I march with the Kiwis every Anzac day in Melbourne. He proudly wears
my Uncles' and Grandfathers' medals. All our family is from New Zealand -
Bay of Plenty, Auckland and the Bay of Islands. Love reading about NZ,
very passionate about my roots. I recently got a tattoo of a Koru on my
foot when my Dad passed away and get great pleasure in explaining its
meaning when asked. Looking forward to a trip back home soon.

Wilbur and Orville Wright were the first to fly a plane and we know this
because we are related to them. I may only be 13 but I think our family
knows a lot more than most people do. That story about Pearse
has been twisted so many times by the media.

I have a question I hope some Kiwis can help me with. New Zealand's
entrepreneurial spirit is legendary. However, I have tried to find out
where this legend comes from and just how this reputation originated, but
so far, no cigar. True, there are a good few heroes of the New Zealand
culture; your brilliant site tells me so, and I don't dispute it but are
New Zealand's achievements really that extraordinary relative to the
country's size and population? Maybe they are, maybe they're not. No one
can seem to give me an answer. Open to the floor. contact@nzedge.com

Sharon, School Teacher, Tampa, Florida
My only child, a daughter, is named for Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, because I
love to hearing Dame Kiri sing. My daughter is adopted as is Dame Te
Kanawa as well as her children, so it seemed to be an appropriate name. My
Kiri is a delight, and is actually studying classical voice in high
school, and singing quite well. She could not have a name that fits her
better! I will be taking my daughter and her voice teacher to the Tampa,
Florida concert of Dame Te Kanawa.

I am a primatologist originally from Christchurch now living in LA. I
completed my B.Sc (1st class hons) at Canterbury and went on to do my
Ph.D. at The University of California, Berkeley where I spent 15 months
living in Panama studying the sexual behavior and endocrinology of wild
spider monkeys. I now spend every summer in Panama studing wild spider
monkeys and conducting archaeological field digs with my husband.

Richard, IT, Bristol
Apologies for this rant in advance but when I noticed your entry on Alan
MacDiarmid it just made me so angry. All kudos to him, he is a great
scientist. Shame on New Zealand for ever letting him go. Almost his entire
professional career has been in the USA. All of the patents and
intellectual property he has developed are held in the USA. All future
revenue and jobs from his work will go to the USA. This is not a triumph
for New Zealand - it is an unmitigated failure to hold on to talent and to
turn it in to real advantages for Kiwis at home.
As an expat working with the largest IT company in the
world I am on an R&D site where Kiwi's are over-represented in the
workforce. One day when sitting down chatting with a mate (a world leader
in his field) and talking about returning home I was surprised to hear him
say "You and I will never go home (except to retire) - New Zealand
doesn't want people like us." You know, the more I thought about it,
the more I realised it was true.
There is more spent on welfare in NZ each week than is
spent on R&D each year. The kind of science and R&D that goes on
to produce new industries and new jobs. There are no tax-breaks for
R&D or new start-ups and almost zero venture-capital or investors in a
country that is so risk-averse that all anyone wants lock up their money
in housing instead. (Kiwis are quite happy to jump off a bridge with a
rubber-band around their ankles, but god forbid they should invest in a
struggling start-up).
Whenever a Kiwi company does do well (like Ghost or
42Below) what happens? They get bought by a richer foreign company. Why
aren't there Kiwi companies the size of Nokia (from Finland, with only 6
million people, not much bigger than NZ and where education is free, for
all, for life). I desperately want to go home and do the kind of work we
do here, but there is no chance of ever being able to build a company or
earn a living doing what we do. It breaks my heart every time I have to
get on a plane and fly back here. Stop trumpeting
the successes of smart New Zealanders for other countries and start poking
the government and the people into changing their ways so that success can
stay at home. Otherwise NZ's only future is as the largest retirement
village in the world. This claiming of other nation's successes as our own
is just embarrassing, stop it.

Harold, Coach, South Point, Ohio
I am the track and field (athletics) coach at South Point High School in
southern Ohio, USA. For many years I had a list of all the places in the
world I wanted to visit. New Zealand was not one of the places. I traveled
quite a bit, through Europe, some South America, marking off those places
on my list as I went. On a return trip from Australia, I was aboard an Air
New Zealand flight and struck up a conversation with a flight attendant.
They asked if I like Australia and I told them I did, they then said if I
liked it there then I should visit New Zealand, because it was much
better. To make a long story short, I did take their advice, and after
visiting I threw away my list. I no longer felt the need to visit
elsewhere; I had found all I was looking for. That was in the year 2000,
and I have been back every year, sometimes twice a year. During those
years I have traveled all over your country and made friends with many
Kiwis, including the late Arthur
Lydiard, and Peter Snell.
The reason I am
writing is to ask for some help and advice. My school recently built a new
track and field facility and stadium. This May, we will be hosting a large
track invitational at the meet. I am calling the meet the Kiwi Classic,
and I want to use the meet to highlight New Zealand as a travel
destination, its culture, people and businesses. When I return to New
Zealand this December, I am purchasing some Maori handicrafts as awards
for the winning athletes and teams. We want to feature Kiwi food and
music. I am working to bring in some famous Kiwis to help promote the
meet. I have Anne Audain confirmed and we are working to bring in Peter
Snell. To make all of this happen, we are looking for sponsors, and I am
trying to use New Zealand companies who have a connection to the United
States. So far Kumfs shoes and Sealord Seafood have joined us. I was
writing to see if you might have any suggestions on things we could do at
the meet to promote New Zealand and if you know of any New Zealand
companies we could contact. contact@nzedge.com

Don, Canada
I read in the paper today about your 'battle' for a new flag. Speaking as
a Canadian who was around during those challenging days I feel I must
comment. We made the right decision and have never looked back. Everyone
in the world knows what the Canadian flag looks like! As for losing your
link to the Crown and losing your history - we are still in the
Commonwealth and our coins and $20's still have the Queen's portrait, but
the money now has portraits of our prime ministers. History every time we
use the bills! Don't hesitate to make your country unique. The Union Jack
on Commonwealth flags is outdated and still reeks of Imperialism. Go NZ
Go!

I am a professional juggler from Auckland who makes his living by
travelling the world and performing at various entertainment venues. Last
year I trained in Berlin with the leading juggler from Cirque du Soleil. I
am currently performing weekly at the Hilton Tokyo Bay, where I have been
since April this year. I have just had my contract extended for another 5
months. I am based in Tokyo, but travel often. This is the 4th Hilton
hotel that I have performed at around the world. I intend to perform in
Dubai (where I visited 2 years ago) in the near future. Jugglers in NZ are
very few compared to other countries. Professional jugglers are even
less.

Your article is the most informed and accurate of all the items I have
read. At this moment I have proposed that archived material from my
collection, relative to the Pearse story, is deposited at Timaru Museum
alongside Gordon Ogilvie's material. This is linked to the new airport
museum and Brian Blanchard's Pleasant Point Railway Museum which already
hold important relics.

I am trying to get information about Mr Stan Wemyss who was a WW2
Cinematographer with the New Zealand National Film Unit. He was awarded an
MBE by the Queen in 1947 for bravery shown while filming on the front
line. I am aware that he is the Grandfather of Russell Crowe, but I am
trying to get a history of Stan Wemyss. I am finding it virtually
impossible. I feel that he is a person in his own right who deserves
recognition not just the Grandfather of Russell Crowe. contact@nzedge.com

I am trying to locate some very old music performed by a group called the
Plains Men from Timaru, New Zealand. All the music, as far as I am
concerned, was good but there were 3 which I liked: 1. About the Waitaki
River and the Ben more hydro dam 2. Bullocky Bill from Timaru 3. The
Mackenzie country about the sheep rustler This is a very old piece and
goes back about 50 years so I might be hoping for a dream. contact@nzedge.com

so many ways. Arohanui!!!

What a great site. I especially enjoy the Heroes

and what New Zealanders have achieved.

John, Engineering Manager, Prince Edward Island,
Canada
I'm living on a small island located off the east coast of Canada and
would like to comment on Mr. Williams' 10 Strategies. I work as an
engineering manager for a company that repairs and overhauls aircraft gas
turbine engines. Our customers are located in all parts of the world so
you could say we are part of the global market place. Dr David Skilling of
the NZI has written a number of reports stating that New Zealand is headed
for major economic problems if it doesn't improve its export performance.
I have also read this from other sources repeating what Dr. Skilling has
said. New Zealand's problem is lack of exporting capability. New
Zealanders must find the root cause of this problem and then come up with
solutions. We call it the "5 why's" problem solving. Mr.
Williams' 10 strategies do not address finding the root cause or solving
this problem. The words "world class" and innovative are to the
21st century what hi-tech was to the 20th. Totally meaningless.

Marcus, Northants, UK
I was looking with interest at the Jean Batten reference on your website.
My father was a pilot and, in 1979, was with British Aerospace at a small
air show at Cranfield, England. That year Jean Batten's book "Alone
in the sky" was published. My father was demonstrating a HS 125.700
executive jet at the show and when British Aerospace heard that Jean
Batten was at the show, they offered her a flight in the cockpit with my
father, which she accepted. Afterwards she gave my father a copy of her
new book with the following written inside "To Captain Trow, best
wishes and many thanks for the flight in the HS.125.700, Jean Batten,
Cranfield, Sept 79". My father recently gave me the book. I am yet to
read it but I wondered if there was any Museum in New Zealand that might
be interested in, perhaps, borrowing it. I appreciate that there may be
little interest in her all these years later, but it seems to me that this
is a precious and unique copy of the book. Any feedback would be
appreciated, especially from any of her relatives. contact@nzedge.com

Sandra, Journalist, Ireland
I'm an Irish journalist just finishing off writing a book entitled To the
Limits of Endurance. It's the true story of a 16 year old Irish boy,
Johnny Harte, who ran away from home and joined the British Army in search
of adventure. He found it in Palestine & Malta pre-WW2 and later was
in the Siege of Malta in WW2. He joined the fledgling SAS/SBS and one of
his instructors was a New Zealander, Stud Stellin, who was on Manoel
Island in Malta. They went on covert undercover missions into enemy
territory, dropped off by submarine and rowing in aboard folboats - small
kayaks. Johnny was on the Greek Island of Leros when he was finally
captured by the Germans, forced marched to Athens and put aboard a cattle
train with little food or water for fourteen days and night, as it
travelled across Europe, in sub-zero temperatures. Many died on that
journey. Eventually he arrived at a POW camp near Belsen in Germany, where
he endured harrowing experiences until his release at the end of WW2.
While this is a story of hardship and endurance, it is also a tale of the
scams, and schemes he got up to along the way and there are numerous funny
stories of his experiences - such as his 'seduction' by a lady of the
night aged 17.
The book is due out in September and I am anxious to try
and contact anyone who remembers Stud Stellin, as efforts to track him or
his relations in Ireland and the UK have failed. I'm not sure if he
survived the war, returned to NZ or what. Any help would be appreciated.
Johnny - or Jack as he became known - went on to become a Senator in the
Irish Government, where he served for 22 years. He's 86, hail and hearty
and looking forward to meeting up with old comrades, family and friends at
the launh in the Irish Dail - our house of parliament. It will be an
historic occasion as never before have the Irish Parliament allowed a book
to be launched there. It would be wonderful to have some NZ input to this
occasion. contact@nzedge.com
