Ngā Uaratanga
Ngā uara e arataki ana i te āhua o tā mātou mahi, te tipu, me te mahi puta noa i Aotearoa.
He mea hanga i runga i te Whānau. He mea tautoko e te Tirohanga.
I tīmata te Dutch Rusk i te tau 1984 i te karāti o Klaas Van de Geest i Whakatū, Aotearoa. Nā tana waka kotahi me tana ngākau nui ki te mahi kaha, ka tīmata a Klaas ki te kawe i ngā hua ki ngā toa o te rohe i runga i te pono, te ōritetanga me te manaaki. I te honotanga mai o āna tama ki te haerenga, ka whaanui te pakihi, ka neke atu ki tōna whare putunga tuatahi i te tau 1988, ka whai pūmanawa kaihoko pono puta noa i Te Waipounamu.
Ko te mea i tīmata hei pakihi whakahaere a te whānau, kua tipu hei ingoa rongonui i roto i te tohatoha rarawe. I ēnei rā, ka whakahaerehia te Dutch Rusk mai i tētahi whare i hangaia motuhake i Whakatū, ā, he wāhanga whakahīhī hoki nō Worthy, tētahi o ngā rōpū pakihi whai mana rawa atu i Aotearoa. Ko tā mātou arotahi e mau tonu ana ki te ratonga pono, ngā hononga pakari, me te tuku i ngā hua e paingia ana e te tangata.
Mai i ngā Tukunga ā-Rohe ki te Tauine ā-Motu
Kua hangai te tipuranga o Dutch Rusk e te whanaketanga tonu. Ko te tīmatanga mai i te kōwhiringa gāmī noa me te whakarewanga o tā mātou tohu ake, ko Dragon Sweets, ka tipu haere hei kohinga inu whānui, taonga hou, me ngā tino pai o te ao mai i Aotearoa, Ahitereiria, te USA, me tua atu.
I te piki haere o te hiahia, i haumi mātou ki te hanga mahi mārohirohi ake. Ko te whakatuwheratanga o tā mātou whare tohatoha i hanga motuhake ki Whakatū, i tohu i te hurihanga nui, i whai kaha ai mātou ki te mahi ki te maha atu o ngā kiritaki me te tere me te pono. I ia tohu whakahirahira, kua whakapakarihia e Dutch Rusk tana whakapau kaha ki te auaha, te tauine, me ngā hononga pono puta noa i te motu.
Titiro Whakamua i runga i te Whāinga
Ko te anamata o Dutch Rusk i hangaia i runga i te tūāpapa kaha o tōna hītori me te ārahitanga rautaki a Worthy. Nā te hokonga i te tau 2025, ka uru a Dutch Rusk ki tētahi wāhanga hou o te tipu, e tautokona ana e te nui, te wheako, me te auahatanga o tētahi kamupene kua panoni kē i ngā ahumahi.
Kua ū mātou ki te whakawhānui i tō mātou toronga ki Te Ika-a-Māui me Te Waipounamu, te whakakaha i tō mātou noho ki ngā toa hokohoko, te wātea, me ngā hongere tohatoha hou. Nā te haere tonu o ngā haumi ki te tangata, te hangarau, me ngā pūnaha whakahaere, kua tū a Dutch Rusk ki te mahi ki tētahi reanga hou o ngā kaihokohoko me ngā kaihoko puta noa i Aotearoa.
He mārama tō mātou whāinga. Ka noho kakama tonu mātou, ka poipoi i ngā hononga kaha, ā, ka tuku i ngā waitohu e whakawhirinaki ana, e pai ana hoki ki te tangata. Kāore a Dutch Rusk i te tipu noa. Kei te whanake mātou me te arotahi ki te ratonga, te toitū, me te angitu wā roa.

Ka whakaae mātou ki ngā wero katoa mā te māia me te waiaro "ka taea", me te kī o ia tangata, "Nāku tēnei, ahakoa te mahi"
