Confirming the hottest travel trend of 2011, Poronui Luxury Sport Lodge now offers an increasing number of guests the chance to go ‘glamping’.
The Safari Camp, built well-away from the main facility, offers guests an experience reminiscent of the ‘Poronui pioneers’. Groups of visitors who tire of soaking up the pleasures and refinement of the English hunting style lodge can now opt to flit away for a night or two and enjoy such earthy pleasures as a meal eaten with friends around a campﬁre.
The safari themed tents all feature hot gas showers, crisp cotton sheets and ample space to have meals outdoors while listening to the wild Mohaka River. Guests can cook the food they have caught that day or soothe their bones next to the fire after a strenuous day of riding. Glamping Poronui style includes a visit to sweetly the appointed cabins featuring canvas roofs, with timber walls and ﬂoors.
The 16,000 acre property representing an untamed slice of New Zealand’s North Island, provides the ‘wild at heart’ a chance to escape. There are vast opportunities to trek, hunt, fly-fish and horse ride within the expansive grounds. Poronui is also equipped with all the modern-cons including; an olympic standard sporting clays course, sauna, gymnasium and underground wine cellar. Purchased by the Westervelt Company in 2007, the property has been developed by American, Mark Blake since 1998 and continues to be an ethically and sustainably maintained property.
Poronui Lodge built in 1998, added its original the Safari Camp in 1999 and made the addition of the glamorous Blake House facility during the year 2000. During the ‘return to nature’ trend in tourism Poronui managers says they have recently enjoyed an increase in the number of guests requesting time away from the hotel style facility and guest wishing to customise their experience and try all parts of the estate.
Poronui is 4½ hours drive from Auckland, or a 25 minute flight from Auckland and a 40 minute drive from Taupo Airport. A flight from Christchurch to Taupo takes one hour, plus the 40 minute drive from the airport to the property. Poronui is 5 hours drive from Wellington.

Age Regression is only available to members of Steven Horne's Member program.
One of the more advanced tools I use in emotional healing work is age regression. This is a way of taking people back to trigger events in their lives and discovering how these events have affected them. You then help them process the previously unresolved emotional trauma and release the trigger. This technique requires the use of muscle response testing, so, I will explain the basics of how to do muscle response testing in the webinar.
As time goes by, normal wear and tear can add up. Cartilage may begin to rub together, they become rough and pitted. This wears down the socket.
A chronic disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout, can cause swelling and heat (inflammation) in the joint lining. As the disease progresses, cartilage may be worn away and the joint may stiffen.
A bad fall or blow to the hip can break (fracture) bone. Of the broken bone does not heal properly, the joint may slowly wear down.
A bad injury or long-term use of alcohol or steroids can reduce blood supply to the bone. If the bone dies (necrosis), the joint will decay.
Getting your contracts in writing is half the battle. You must also ensure that your contract says what you want it to say, and says it clearly.
The main issue in the case below was the interpretation of an employment agreement (the “Agreement”), between Joshua Medad (“Medad”) and Hope House Charities (“Hope House”) (see Medad v Hope, 2016 ONSC 3323 (CanLII)).
Hope House is a registered charity with a mission to provide a safe space for adolescents looking for support. It hired Medad as Director of Programming. Prior to joining Hope House, Medad had operated his own charitable organization to assist at–risk and homeless youth.
The relationship between the parties deteriorated, and Hope House terminated Medad, less than a year into his employment contract. At the time they signed the Agreement, and at the time Hope House terminated Medad, there was no agreement between Hope House and the Toronto District School Board (“TDSB”).
2. … In the event that either party wish to terminate this agreement, either party must provide at least 1 year of notice to the other side, in order to provide continuity to the TDSB agreement for a full school year.
Medad claimed a year of notice pay, on the basis of Paragraph 2.
A Deputy Judge at the Small Claims Court concluded that Hope House did not have just cause to terminate Medad, and that, in accordance with the Agreement, Medad was entitled to one year’s notice pay.
Did not follow the strict principles of contract interpretation, by failing to give the termination provision its plain and ordinary grammatical meaning and by failing to interpret the provision in light of the entire Agreement and in light of its purposes and commercial context.
Failed to identify that the termination provision is a condition precedent, dependent on the TDSB. In other words, for the termination provision between Medad and Hope House to be effective, there had to be an agreement between Hope House and the TDSB. If there was no agreement between Hope House and the TDSB, the termination provision is unenforceable and Hope House did not have to give Medad a year’s notice.
Should have based Medad’s notice period on the common law principles of reasonable notice, since the termination provision in the Agreement was unenforceable. Hope House submitted that given Medad’s brief period of employment, his young age and his low level of remuneration, two weeks would be reasonable notice under common law.
Do you agree with Hope House’s position and its interpretation of Paragraph 2?
Contractual interpretation involves a practical, common sense approach.
What is important is to determine the intent of the parties given the ordinary and grammatical meaning of the words themselves and the contract as a whole.
Before Medad joined Hope House he had his own charitable organization and was giving it up to join Hope House. Therefore, it was reasonable that Medad required sufficient notice of termination to protect his interests.
The parties did not appear to have any intention to make the one year notice provision conditional on a TDSB agreement. For instance, they never discussed what would happen if there was no TDSB agreement.
Paragraph 2 does not create a condition precedent, whereby an agreement between Hope House and the TDSB was necessary before the termination provision could apply. Instead, under the plain wording of Paragraph 2, an agreement with the TDSB was at most a reason for the notice, but not a condition for the notice to apply.
Hope House lost its Appeal, and the employee won the right to a year’s notice pay.
In Part 1 of this series, we reminded you to put agreements in writing, but cautioned that this did not provide perfect inoculation against lawsuits—litigants often misunderstand the obvious; provisions may be open to multiple interpretations; and people sue even when they have no case.
In Part 2, an employee and her employer entered into an unwritten employment contract, and ended up in court with “very different views of their meetings, conversations, and the ultimate terms of the employment agreement.” This forced the court to piece together testimony and the facts at the time the contract was made, to determine the nature of contract. That process would likely have been less time-consuming, subjective and expensive, if the parties had a written contract.
Finally, in Part 3, above, we examine some of the principles of contract interpretation which courts use to interpret written contracts that are ambiguous; when parties have a different take on what the contract provision means; and when, as the Judge said in this case, the provision is “inelegant and awkward”.

Wonder what the failing of a nonprofit board's duty of loyalty can look like?
One of the best examples I've seen is described in detail in the following Chicago Tribune story. And, as a refresher, the most common failing of the duty of loyalty is conflict of interest -- that is, when board members make decisions that take advantage of their position as a board member and result in personal material gain. If there's a case for failing their conflict of interest, this is it. For shame, for shame, for shame!!!
College of DuPage Trustee Dianne McGuire shows President Robert Breuder a newspaper clip before a special board meeting in January. McGuire has pushed for competitive bidding for college contracts.
Tribune: College of DuPage Foundation's board members have business ties to the school worth $200 million.
Who are top donors to College of DuPage? The official fundraisers who also billed it for $200M in business.
Officials at the College of DuPage have a long list of items to turn over to federal investigators by next week, including a trove of documents related to contracts with companies tied to board members for the school's fundraising foundation.
Here's what those records will show: Nearly half of the College of DuPage Foundation's 22 most recent board members are executives at companies doing business with the publicly funded school, and many of those companies have been awarded jobs without going through a competitive selection process, according to a Tribune investigation.
Those businesses have billed the college for nearly $200 million since July 2010 — while also ranking among the foundation's most generous donors. The Tribune's investigation, examining many of the same documents now being sought by federal authorities, raises questions about the confluence of business dealings and fundraising at the state's largest community college.
The foundation contracts are the latest legal and public relations battle for the Glen Ellyn school, which was served with two grand jury subpoenas this week as part of a federal criminal investigation. Since January, the school has been under fire for giving its president one of the largest buyout packages in state history, lavish spending by top administrators and its lax financial oversight.
A review of board minutes, emails and an audio recording shows that some school trustees raised foundation-related concerns more than a year ago. But President Robert Breuder repeatedly resisted calls for a more open contracting policy.
"I thought here in Illinois especially, even the appearance of pay-to-play or conflict of interest is dangerous," college Trustee Dianne McGuire said in an audio recording of a December 2013 board meeting.
McGuire, the board's liaison to the foundation, pushed for a more competitive selection process and suggested at that meeting that, based on an earlier conversation with Breuder, he agreed.
He didn't, the recording shows.
"I never weighed in," said Breuder, now also a target of the federal investigation. "I didn't go either way. I just sat there."
"I have to assume that at some point you saw there was some validity to what I was saying," McGuire replied.
"No," Breuder answered firmly. "It was an easy way to satisfy an interest that you had."
It's now an interest shared by federal prosecutors. The college has been ordered to provide documents showing all payments, reimbursements, contracts or loans between the college and foundation board members and their businesses, according to grand jury subpoenas obtained by the Tribune. The subpoenas also ask for documentation of any bids the companies submitted, their professional qualifications, and any efforts made to ensure the work was competitively awarded.
Including two members who resigned from the board this month, 10 of the foundation's 22 board members do business with the school, according to documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. Of those 10, nine have received non-competitive deals for a variety of business, including construction management, legal representation and political lobbying, the records show.
Nothing more than pay to play the Chicago way.
The businesses, meanwhile, all have donated generously over the years to the college's foundation. In fiscal year 2014, each company — or the foundation board member employed by the company — gave at least $5,000, putting them in the President's Circle, the highest level of annual giving, according to the foundation's annual report. Three companies are also part of the Presidential Society, an honor bestowed upon those who have given $100,000 or more over a lifetime.
College and foundation officials met with the Tribune on Monday, before the revelation of the federal investigation. In a lengthy interview, they defended the relationships because in all but one case, they said, the contracts were awarded before the company employees joined the board. The foundation-connected vendors all joined the board between 2010 and 2014.
Records show, however, companies tied to at least seven board members received contract renewals, extensions or increases, or new business, after their executives joined the board.
Many of the jobs did not have to be competitively bid because they involve professional services, one of the few exemptions under the state's procurement laws, or because the college already had a "satisfactory relationship" with the company, according to the officials.
"These people were contracted long before and became good friends of the college because they became involved in the mission. They are community and business leaders," said Catherine Brod, the foundation's executive director.
Still, critics have said there is at least an appearance of impropriety.
"All of the transactions are completely legal if conducted at arm's length, but the pattern is troubling," said Adam Andrzejewski, founder of the watchdog group For the Good of Illinois and an outspoken critic of the college's spending.
The nonprofit foundation serves as the college's fundraising arm, and while it is legally separate from the college, the school pays foundation employees' salaries and provides them office space. Foundation board members don't get paid.
According to the foundation's annual report, it gave away over $452,000 in scholarship money to more than 600 students last school year. It also awarded more than $130,000 to support faculty and staff projects.
"The people who are on our board are really very involved with their time. They are passionate about the college," said foundation board President Susan Lang Berry.
Board members are asked to donate at least $1,000 a year and make the foundation one of their top three charities, Berry said.
Community colleges nationwide have rules regarding vendor agreements between the schools and foundation board members, from policies prohibiting them to using conflict-of-interest statements to make the business dealings transparent. The College of DuPage Foundation's conflict of interest policy does not address board members' business dealings with the college, but cautions "most conflicts fall into a gray area where ethics and public perception are more relevant than statutes or precedents."
"Loss of public confidence and a damaged reputation are the most likely results of poorly managed conflict of interest," the policy adds.
Taken together, foundation-connected companies have billed the school for nearly $200 million in the past five years, records show. The companies include two construction firms, Chicago-based Power Construction Co. and Minnesota-based Mortenson Construction Co.; two local law firms, Robbins Schwartz and Fuchs & Roselli; lobbyist Scott Marquardt; architectural firm Wight & Co.; project management firm CCS International; and signage company Herricane Graphics.
