Mangakino was the location for the final in a series of effluent field days
held on Wairarapa Moana Farms, Farm 4.
There was a good turnout of farmers, managers
and staff members at the field day during
January.
said Federated Farmers was often frustrated by
the few (dairy farmers) letting the majority of
dairy farmers down.
DairyNZ, Environment Waikato, Federated
Farmers and Fonterra teamed up last year to
provide Waikato farmers with practical advice
and solutions for managing dairy effluent.
“We need to get this right. We want New
Zealand to be the best in the world. We must
get effluent disposal right as we go forward to
more intensive farming.
Wairarapa Moana Farms director, Jim Cotman,
said in the introduction for the day that the
“community is always going to challenge dairy
farmers ... we need to ensure what we do is
‘kosher’ and this day will help get it right”.
Federated Farmers Waikato president, Stew
Wadey, who also spoke at the start of the day,
December 2007
“You gauge the success of a day by the people
who are participating in it and the farmers were
asking good questions on technical aspects of
managing effluent systems,” Mr Wadey said
after the event.

“With some of the largerscale farm developments
happening in this area of
the Waikato it’s likely their
effluent system queries and
issues will be different so
it’s important that all people
involved in managing farm
effluent systems attend to
get this information.”
Environment
Waikato’s
sustainable agriculture coordinator, Gabriele Kaufler,
said with belts tightening
now was a good time to
learn how to turn effluent
into savings on a farm’s
bottom line.

Successful Scholarship Presentation
Ceremony in Masterton
The Papawai and Kaikokirikiri Trusts Board administers scholarships to secondary school students who
affiliate to Ngati Kahungunu ki Wairarapa and Rangitane O Wairarapa.
On the 24th January the 2008 scholarship recipients and
their whanau were invited to a Scholarship Presentation
Ceremony, held at Te Rangimarie Marae in Masterton. This
was a great success says trustee Wai Quayle who worked
with the Papawai and Kaikokirikiri Trusts Board secretarymanager Charmaine Kawana to see that events leading up to
the presentation and the day itself ran smoothly.
Wai Quayle (Ngati Kahungunu) is a community health
worker for Whaiora Whanui and is also the Maori Outreach
Liaison officer working with three general practises to help get
those Maori patients who may be high risk of cardiovascular
disease, diabetes or other specific health problems. This
requires the patient to re-engage with their practise nurse or
doctor and be checked on a regular basis.
In the past we have held our scholarship ceremonies at
Papawai Marae in Greytown. Over the years the attendance
by scholarship recipients and whanau diminished and it
was a little disheartening when we had to cancel the 2008
hui scheduled for January due to insufficient responses. We
looked at what changes could be made and decided to hold
the hui at a Masterton venue and this proved very successful.
This year we had a good turnout with nineteen students and
well over forty-five whanau attending.
In the past we usually receive between 160 and 200
applications a year, this year, 2008, we received 170
applications and of these only 150 were successful. Those
6
unsuccessful are not considered for various reasons, mainly
application forms are not completed – no principal’s report,
forms not signed, no whakapapa. Our criteria is that all this
information is required so that the application is successful.
Our office staff work hard to get applicants to complete their
application forms correctly and to get them in on time, so
please take the time to get them filled in correctly, otherwise
you risk disappointment.
The application forms are available from the 20th of
September each year. They are also sent out to the local
colleges or you can contact the office directly at 4 Park
Avenue in Masterton, telephone 06 3702608 and our staff
will forward one to you. Our office here at the Wairarapa
Moana Incorporation has an excellent record of networking
and informs all those that come to use the facilities for their
hui, or through Ngati Kahungunu office of the availability
and the requirements of the scholarships. We make sure that
the strictly enforced cut off date for the applications is known
and this is the last Friday in November. No late applications
will be accepted for consideration, so application forms must
be back in our office on or before this date.
The recent ceremony saw around 70 people attending.
Our day started with karakia once inside the wharenui
Nukutaimemeha by Archdeacon Hariata Tahana and then
Kaumatua Pani Himona welcomed everyone to the Marae
and to our special day.
Scholarship recipients with their
whanau.
The trustees present were then introduced
to the recipients and at this stage we were
able to inform these young people of the
background of the Trusts and the work
the trustees do. After our introduction our
secretary-manager Charmaine Kawana
was introduced and she informed every
one of the agenda for the morning.
Next the 2008 Scholarship Certificates
were presented to the recipients by
trustees Archdeacon Hariata Tahana
and Reomoana Walker and words of
encouragement were given and that if
they continued to work hard the Papawai
and Kaikokirikiri Trusts would continue to support them with
future scholarships.
Each year the board sets aside from its net income an
amount towards the scholarship fund. These funds are then
appropriated to two-thirds to Church of England schools and
one-third to ‘Other’ schools, as set down by the Papawai
and Kaikokirikiri Trusts Act 1943. At present the board is
processing a Repeal of this Act through Parliament.
Following the awards ceremony, photos were taken of the
recipients and their whanau and everyone was invited to
enjoy a bus trip around all the Papawai and Kaikokirikiri
lands. On a bus trip they enjoyed not only the history of the
Trust but also local history and landmarks. This was planned
as an enjoyable day out for both the young people and their
whanau but it also had an important underlying purpose, to
have the history of the Trust told so that the recipients have
a sense of belonging and to know where the revenue for the
scholarships comes from.
We left Masterton via Akura Road and Ngaumutawa Road,
to show them our farming properties of 57 hectares and
industrial lands of 13 hectares adjacent to these roads. We
then proceeded south to Greytown, then out to Papawai
to see one of our dairy farms of 160 hectares, leased to B
& C Scott, the college site of St Thomas’s, then a visit to
Papawai Marae, the home of the Maori Parliament in the
early 1900s.
We then returned northwards to Clareville, via Parkvale
(mushroom factory) just east of Carterton, to Dorset Road
and Francis Line which is another historic site for us. This
was where Hikurangi Maori Boys College was built by the
Papawai and Kaikokirikiri Trusts Board and opened in 1903
but unfortunately it burnt down in 1932. Now the land of 60
hectares is farmed and leased to J & J Rose as a dairy unit.
It is from these leased farms and industrial lands that the
revenue for the Trust and scholarships comes.
All those present thoroughly enjoyed their day which was
capped off by an excellent luncheon held at Te Rangimarie
Marae. It was at this luncheon that the young recipients
individually thanked the trustees for organising such an
informative and thought-provoking day and showed their
appreciation by performing waiata and haka.
Many parents and grandparents who were present on the bus
tour explained that prior to the tour they did not know the
history of the Trust or where the particular lands were and
they were very grateful to be part of an excellent learning
experience.
Five years ago the Trust Board only sent out letters of
notification to successful recipients. They, the recipients,
never got to see the lands or hear the history. This scholarship
presentation ceremony is one way the Papawai and
Kaikokirikiri Trusts Board can share their story.
Returning from the site visits to PK Trusts properties
It is our hope that recipients will take an interest
in this land so that when they get older they will
want to come back and possibly become Board
members, thus supporting and continuing the work
being carried out by the Board. It is vital that these
lands are maintained for future generations.
The future looks bright for the Papawai and
Kaikokirikiri Trusts Board.

WAIRARAPA MOANA
Trades Are For Rangatahi
mailer
Wahine Hoki!
The Wairarapa Moana Trust (WMT) would like to see our rangatahi, young Maori women and men,
consider a wider range of career options and to contemplate trade occupations.
Research released by the Ministry of Women’s Affairs
(MWA) in September 2008 found that young women can
feel limited in their options when choosing a career and
those limits are reinforced by factors such as peer pressure,
parental opposition, media portrayal of some jobs and school
systems. The research was commissioned because the MWA
wanted to know the factors that influence young people
when they are deciding on a career and, in particular, why
so few young women enter the trades, where there are good
career opportunities and where there can be an opportunity
to earn-while-you-learn.
The research report Trading Choices: young people’s career
decisions and gender segregation in the trades includes
examples of the reactions some young women encountered
when they expressed an interest in learning a trade.
One young woman talked about the response she received
when she said she wanted to work with her hands. “My
Dean asked what I wanted to do in the long-run, what am I
good at and I said ‘something with my hands’. She said ‘so
you want to do sewing?’ I said ‘no, fixing things like metals
and things,’ she said ‘What! There’s woodwork but there’s
lots of guys in it’.”
Another young woman talked about the reaction she got
from her peers when she attended woodwork classes. “The
boys thought we were there as a joke.” Another said, “The
first time we showed up to class it was pretty crazy. All the
boys were going ‘What is she doing here?’.”
One young woman, however, talked about her work
experience, saying ‘it was really valuable to realise that the
way you might be thinking could be too narrow. Broaden
your horizons and give things a go, you won’t know until
you try’.
WMT Chair, Sonya Rimene, said it was important for our
rangatahi, young Maori women and young Maori men to
consider a wide range of career options in particular farming
and agriculture.
While women have entered many jobs that were once
dominated by men, such as law or medicine, many jobs
remain dominated by either men or women. For example,
99 percent of builders, electricians and motor mechanics
are men. Women make up over 90 percent of people working
as caregivers, registered nurses and secretaries.
“The fact that men and women continue to do different
types of jobs is one of the factors in the gender pay gap.
Currently, when comparing men’s and women’s median
hourly earnings, women earn 12.5 percent less than men.
“The young women who were interviewed said there
are challenges to seeking a job in occupations such as
engineering or building. These included how the trades are
portrayed in the media, what friends say when they mention
they might be considering working in a trade and the extent
to which schools encourage young people to consider a
variety of career options.”
Once at work, however, girls often found ways to fit in and
adapt the work around their strengths.
“I hope that this research will be useful information to our
rangatahi. I’d like to encourage our rangatahi to consider a
career as farmers of our own land.”
The MWA commissioned the New Zealand Council for
Educational Research to carry out the research which
involved focus groups and interviews with eighty-six young
women and men, ranging in age from junior secondary
students to trainees and recent graduates in trades-related
occupations.
Research commissioned by MWA in 2006 showed hourly
pay rates on the completion of training were:
Male-dominated occupations:
Builder Mechanic Electrician Plumber $21.15
$19.50
$20.40
$23.20
Female-dominated occupations:
Caregiver Hairdresser Sales Assistant
Administrator
$12.36
$14.21
$13.34
$15.65

POUAKANI MARAE
Kia ora koutou,
My name is Lesley Pedersen. My
husband, James Wairukuruku Murray
Pedersen, is a shareholder and
Trustee Treasurer of Pouakani Marae
in Mangakino.
Pouakani Marae has a new website
through www.naumaiplace.com and
I am the new Content Manager. My
job is to put any information relevant
to Pouakani Marae on to the website.
I would like to ask if any of the
whanau have items of interest and/or
photographs that relate to the Marae
and would like to have them put on
to the website.
This can be done either by going
into the website www.naumaiplace.
com and locating Pouakani Marae
and submitting it through the website
or by emailing me at lesley11@xtra.
co.nz
Everything is still new and I am going
to be putting in photographs and any
news and events relating to the loss of
our Marae when destroyed by fire.
I would be grateful for any
correspondence by mail or email.
This website will help us keep in
touch with whanau both at home
and overseas and perhaps someone
from overseas may like to have some
input.
We have whanau in Perth that have
been fundraising towards helping us
with the re-build and as they were here
for Christmas gave us a very generous
cash donation. They have assured us
that mahi is on-going so we are very
grateful indeed to the whanau.
I look forward to hearing from anyone
and excited as this is something new
both for myself and our Marae and
being on the worldwide web can
open up many doors.

More News
From Pouakani Marae
On Saturday 24 January, Auckland Anniversary weekend, a karakia
(blessing) for our Marae site was held by Apotoro Rehita Maatai
Ariki Rawiri Kauae Te Toki.
The blessing is in readiness to watch over and pave the way for haukainga
(home people), manuhiri (visitors) that may come and go and all the workers
that will be involved in the rebuild from start to completion.
Excavation of the wharenui commenced the following Tuesday, 27 January.
We are now ready to use Te Awhina (old bowling club) for tangihanga, as
has not been the case previously, with whanau having to make alternative
arrangements.
The cost of meeting council requirements is too expensive and because it is only
for temporary use, we are concentrating all our efforts towards the rebuild of our
Marae, hence, we have managed to bypass the requirements by purchasing a
marquee.
Fundraising by having Housie every Thursday night, selling hangi and raffles has
given our Marae putea a little boost. We are looking at other ways to fundraise
plus we have Marae teeshirts of which we have sold a good number to whanau
both here and overseas. If any whanau are interested in purchasing teeshirts I
will have all the information on our website or I can be contacted by phone
07 882 8481 or email lesley11@xtra.co.nz
Unfortunately, there are no small sizes
left. The sizes are XL up
to 4XL.

3rd Newsletter
Rangiurunga Urupa
Kia ora everyone,
At time of writing the urupa is
looking as good as it has been for
many a year. Our thanks go out to
local farmer Jim Bicknell for the
initial slashing of the long grass,
fennel and broom.
A massive thanks to Wiremu
Kingi-Brightwell and his whanau
for getting the area down to lawn
mowing standard, an awesome
job by a dozen or so people over
a wet couple of days and also for
the second mow a couple of weeks
later.
An aerial photo of the urupa area
has been taken just after the first
mowing by the Kingi-Brightwell
whanau. The photo is courtesy of
Jim Bicknell taken from his glider.

A big thanks also to JR of JR’s Orchard for spraying the fennel
and scrub all along the northern fence line and the area in the
north west corner. There are a number of old formed graves
that at the moment are unable to be mowed around until all
the foliage is removed and we can expose the outline of the
graves. This will have to be done manually.
I am at the moment creating a new garden along the western
fence line as well as small gardens in between graves that
have gaps too narrow for the mower to fit. All the plants have
been grown from seed, from cuttings or donations.
The cleaning up of formed unmarked, unknown graves is an
on-going project that I have undertaken to do and is both
satisfying and time consuming. It involves re-shaping the
outline of the graves where needed, weeding, newspaper
and rock mulching to stop weeds reappearing and then
planting out to enhance the area.
If you intend visiting a loved one why not bring a plant or
ten to plant, remember it gets really hot here in summer and
heavy frosts from March – November. Live plants are so
much better than plastic as the plastic deteriorates to a dirty
bleached state in quite a quick time and they also create a
problem for mowing because they tend to get blown all over
the urupa in strong winds.
We still need plenty of tools, materials, time and koha to get
to the next stage of the refurbishment of the urupa.
The GPR survey is going to be one of the big cost items now
costing approximately $6000. There is only so much that
can be done by volunteers and this is one of those things that
has to be done by the professionals.
The urupa date has now been confirmed as being pre-1867
as shown on William Skeet’s plan of native village at Papawai
dated 1867. A copy of this plan is held at the Masterton
District Council Library Archives.
If you have any history or stories about the urupa or those
buried here we would love to hear from you so we can publish
such interesting facts and stories in upcoming newsletters. I
have heard a number of stories told of plums and puha being
picked and many a clip over the ear.
We still need, from you and your whanau, names and
addresses of people that you know who relate to anyone
buried at Papawai for our register. It’s getting bigger by the
day but is far from complete.
