Early morning rain blessed Carrington Park, Carterton and even with a cool breeze whistling across the park it did not dampen the public spirit that turned out in numbers to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the signing of New Zealand’s historic document, The Treaty of Waitangi. Organised by Hurunui-o-rangi Marae and the Carterton District Council, the theme to commemorate the day was a “Family Day Out” with the day centred on Māori cultural activities. The Carterton Scouts constructed a temporary flagpole and with a glimmer of sunlight piercing through the trees, Marae secretary and Kahungunu ki Wairarapa General Manager, PJ Devonshire, opened the celebrations with a karakia and during the singing of the national anthem in both Māori and English, the New Zealand flag was hoisted aloft. MC Pania Reiri Smith, the daughter of Lawrence and Hillary Reiri, introduced the Mayor of Carterton John Booth with Wairarapa MP Alastair Scott reminding the many of the importance of our national day. ›› CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 ...

With all the pleasantries out of the way, the cool sounds of Soul 2 Soul drifted out across the park with soothing melodies keeping all ages entertained throughout the day. If nothing else, one could just kick back with a hot sausage and a corn cob and drift away to the music. 3 Marae Chair and Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Environmental Consultant Rāwiri Smith manned the Treaty of Waitangi information desk speaking to those that wanted to know more about the Treaty and the relevance of claims brought by Wairarapa Māori against the Crown. Led by Francis McNally–Te Maari, members of Mau Rākau Wairarapa gave a disciplined display of concentration and agility, stance and balance and close order hand-to-eye coordination. The captive audience was very impressed as each rhythmic movement was fully explained which skilfully served to demystify the art of Mau Rākau. 4 With the crowd all warmed up the Tuakana Kapa Haka group from Carterton School demonstrated its confidence and composure with waiata ā ringa (action songs), Toia mai, Ka poipoia, Ko Taratahi (haka), Tēnei te whakapapa (moteatea), E hoki mai rā, with the boys coming through the line to perform a rousing rendition of Tika tonu, gracefully followed with the group’s final waiata ā ringa Papaki titaha. The applause and the proud smiles on everyone’s faces said it all. 5 Photo No: 1. John Rutene and Peter Ammunson put their skills to the test. 2.

Kids of all ages made paua shoes which proved very challenging for mums and dads and a junior form of mau rākau got the next up-andcomers in the mood and of course there was the traditional use of poi. Over on the field, the traditional Māori ball game Ki-o-rahi was being played with two visiting Morman elders from the USA and the UK being taught the game by R2R (Rangatahi to Rangatira) members. Suffice to say, their dress was rather stylish but fun and laughter could be heard from afar. The weather kept its promise and stayed good throughout whilst those at Queen Elizabeth Park, Masterton tested their running skills seeking cover but as with Carterton, the skies cleared and the sun warmed the remainder of the day. There were a healthy number of stalls serving up a multitude of ethnic foods with the good ole sausage sizzle a favourite with many. Kids’ tug-o–war delivered hilarious fun and painted faces and tā moko provided visual colour. There was an interactive workshop on painting tuku tuku panels and the wood chopping demonstration attracted an appreciative audience. 8 Once again, Mau Rākau demonstrations, led by Francis McNally–Te Maari, kept the crowd enthralled. The stage was continually filled with a variety of entertainment with the sizzling sounds of Cruize Karaitiana and groups; Back the Truck Up pounded out reggae and ska and Long Lost Uncle kept the crowd tripping with good ole rock covers and also on stage cranking the dub was hip-hop rap. Cultural performances from Samoa added a blend of Pasifika to the day, along with traditional Scottish dance. Bollywood dancers from Douglas Park School entertained and Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Wairarapa delighted the nannies with kapa haka. Photographer Kiri Riwai-Couch proved a persuasive favourite, taking photographs of individuals and groups wearing colonial dress, complete with tā moko. Iwi information stalls were kept busy and a Waitangi 175 time capsule invited members of the public to leave a message that symbolised Waitangi Day, now and what it would mean…in the future. The time capsule will be opened 2040 on the 200th Waitangi Day anniversary. Me hoki whakamuri, kia haere whakamua – Look to the past, to see the future.

The awards celebrate New Zealand business success in the world and recognise professional excellence and innovative practice. They provide an opportunity for New Zealand businesses to benchmark performance, build capability and boost employee morale. Special category for International Business He kai kei aku ringa for Māori Excellence in Export Supported by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), Te Puni Kōkiri and The Treasury. The award recognises Māori business contribution to the New Zealand export economy – the approach, values and tikanga that underpin and uniquely define Māori business. The 2015 Awards finalists are:– Kono NZ Developed in 2011, Kono NZ aims to be the best indigenous food and beverage company in the world. Its formation consolidated all the food and beverage business of Wakatū Incorporated – a significant iwi-owned commercial investment organisation based in Nelson. Wakatū Incorporated represents 3,500 Māori shareholders across the top of the South Island whose owners descend from the Māori tribes Ngāti Koata, Ngāti Rarua, Ngāti Tama and Te Atiawa. Wakatu’s asset base of $260 million consists of 70 percent property and 30 percent food and beverage production. Kono means ‘food basket’ and this concept has been developed into a strong brand story for a range of quality New Zealand food and beverage products. Sealord Sealord was established in 1961 but its whakapapa goes back to the creation legend of Maui and culminates in the recognition of Māori interests through the 50 percent ownership of Sealord by 57 iwi through the Sealord Settlement. Sealord compares its story to a rope into which individuals bind their skills and passion to create a unique business, where its heritage is recognised and proudly shared with the world. The Sealord corporate identity was a collaborative effort between its people, leaders and artist Derek Lardelli to create a taonga that represents the company’s attitude and aspirations. It also highlights the relationship between man, 4 sea and land and its responsibility as guardians to maintain that crucial balance. Being a Māori business has helped Sealord develop partnerships to take more kai moana to the world. The Ihu to Mai programme is successfully establishing joint ventures and quota purchase deals with several iwi. The programme increases Sealord’s long-term access to quota and influences the way fishing assets are sustainably utilised for iwi. The deals also include scholarships to the Westport Deepsea Fishing School and training and development opportunities. Miraka Established in 2011, Miraka is a predominantly Māoriowned business that manufactures quality milk powder and UHT milk products for export to 23 countries throughout Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Pacific and Central and South America. Its business is underpinned by the values of tikanga, kaitiakitanga, innovation, excellence and integrity. Miraka works closely with all its suppliers, monitoring and supporting them to ensure its high environmental standards are met. The price premium Miraka pays its milk suppliers has seen an additional $5 million injected into the local rural economy over the past three years. Consistent with its values, the Miraka factory uses steam from nearby geothermal steam fields to operate the plant. Water extracted from the milk is irrigated onto adjacent farms and solids waste is transferred and consumed on a nearby worm farm. Miraka was set up as a Māori-owned and managed vertically integrated dairy business in order to secure better returns for the owners. Māori customs and values are an integral part of the business, and a point of difference that leaves a lasting impression on those who spend time with the Miraka whānau. Winners will be announced at a black tie ceremony on March 25 at Sky City in Auckland. Courtesy of NZ Trade and Enterprise. Levi Whata Thinking of others before himself and demonstrating strong whānau values and natural leadership qualities meant Levi Whata was chosen as Top Warrior for the 2015 Mokoia Island Mau Taiaha Wānanga. Top Warrior Senior tutor on the camp Eraia Kiel said Levi consistently showed these qualities. “Thinking of others before himself is the key ingredient to any taiaha warrior and that wasn’t the first time he has shown that. “Usually when we look for a top warrior they must show leadership qualities in all areas, like helping younger students. He was always looking out for younger students, helping out with the kai when it came time to prepare for meals and offering his hand in the kitchen. “He has natural leadership qualities in terms of his skill with taiaha and kapa haka, he was leading the items and his tutors got him to fulfil leadership roles in front of his peers. “He is a very humble young boy as well, that’s one of the true qualities of a leader, you have to be humble.” The 18-year-old Tarawera High School student is of Te Arawa, Ngāti Pikiao and Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa descent. A recipient of a Papawai & Kaikōkirikiri scholarship from Wairarapa, Levi attended Rathkeale College and Makoura and completed his secondary education in the Wairarapa at Kuranui College, Greytown. Returning to Lake Rotoiti with his Nanny and Koro, he attended Rotorua Boys’ High and is a prefect at Tarawera High. Levi is also a church leader at his church in Kawerau and has his sights set on attending Waikato University. Being named Top Warrior for 2015 made his Lake Rotoitibased grandparents Lynne Te Maari-Whata and Brian Whata proud in the knowledge he is disciplined and prepared for the future. “It means so much to me, everything to me,” he said. “It’s so prestigious to be awarded this honour, this accolade. It has taught me that those who are selfless go further in life. You need to be humble ... we all need that discipline. This has given me so much. I’ve grown so much in my culture.” Levi Whata, 18, has bee n announced as Top Wa the prestigious Mokoi a Island Mau Taiaha Wā rrior for 2015 at nanga. Levi at age 11 first attended the course founded by Te Arawa Kaumātua Mita Mohi more than 30 years ago. The camps are run by Mr Mohi’s son Patrick, who teaches students the ancient art of fighting and discipline. Levi has plans to train as a teacher or to further his te reo Māori studies. Meanwhile, his doting grandparents are stoked with his success. “We are very proud,” his grandmother Lynne Te MaariWhata said. “When he rang to tell me I had tears in my eyes. I couldn’t stop those tears of joy for him.” Levi looks forward to mau taiaha every year for four days during the Christmas period. The course has provided him with a wealth of experience which will greatly benefit him for any future endeavour he has planned.

On very rare occasions there have been a number of beached whales found along the coastline with a number of reasons as to how they met their untimely death. young juvenile sperm whale came to rest at Waikekeno (Glenburn Station). No older than about 15years the cause of death is not known. 2004, a large sperm whale measuring around 15-metres was found washed up at Te Unuunu (Flatpoint). 2006, a 15-metre lone bull came ashore at Whatarangi, Cape Palliser. 2008, a 16-metre sperm whale was nudged ashore at Whakataki, 4kms north of Castlepoint and 2010, an 18-metre bull sperm whale beached at Kawakawa, Cape Palliser which brought rich rewards for local hapū Ngāti Hinewaka. The coastline is becoming a favourite walking and cycling track for many adventurers and 77-year-old Chris Ingram, following in the footsteps of his tīpuna to Pahaoa, spotted the whale and alerted station owners John and Helen McFadzean. In the past, a number of sperm whales have washed up at Kawakawa and more recently February 2015 a 14-metre 6 DOC and Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa were duly notified and upon arriving at the site, iwi General Manager PJ Devonshire said karakia and blessed the parāoa with the name Te Pani o te Moana which means an orphan of the Māori Land Court Masterton Clinic Dates 2015 The teeth carry much prestige and the bones can be used for carving taonga that can be shared across Marae throughout the region. ocean, an important taonga to te iwi Māori, that sought its final resting place upon our shores. Helen McFadzean said: “The carcass was seen floating in waters off the coast a day earlier and the naming and blessing ceremony had drawn a small crowd of guests captivated by the spectacle”. Reciting waiata and karakia, iwi, hapū and whānau worked together to recover the bones and teeth, ngā taonga. PJ added: “We will take the ribs and the jaw and try to process and utilise as much of the whale as we can. The teeth carry much prestige and the bones can be used for carving taonga that can be shared across Marae throughout the region”. Top Left: Jason Paku (wetsuit) PJ Devonshire and Aaron Awa. Top Right: Te Pani o te Moana, Waikekeno. Taking appropriate care of a large marine mammal, ensuring correct protocols are followed is very demanding. Respect to the parāoa whilst stripping away layer upon layer is no easy task and is not one for the faint hearted. “We want to use this as a real learning opportunity for our people,” said PJ. “It will be about learning how to process and work with the parāoa. That’s from the first karakia, to naming the parāoa, to when we start to carve the bones and remembering the kōrero of the parāoa from the past that remain with us.” Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa All clinics will be held at: Wairarapa Moana House, 4 Park Ave, Masterton 10.30am – 3.00pm Fortnightly Clinics (Wednesday) MONTH DATE March 25 / 3 /2015 April 8 / 4 / 2015 22 / 4 / 2015 May 6 / 5 /2015 20 / 5 / 2015 June 3 / 6 / 2015 17 / 6 / 2015 July 1 / 7 /2015 15 / 7 /2015 29 / 7 / 2015 August 12 / 8 / 2015 26 / 8 / 2015 September 9 / 9 / 2015 23 / 9 / 2015 October 7 / 10 / 2015 21 / 10 / 2015 November 4 / 11 / 2015 18 / 11 / 2015 December 2 / 12 / 2015 Wairarapa Moana: The Lake and Its People Wairarapa Moana: The Lake and Its People, is available for purchase by shareholders and their whānau through the Wairarapa Moana office at a cost of $35.00 each, post free in New Zealand.

As I look into my crystal ball I can see an exciting year ahead for us all. During the past year Wairarapa Moana trustees have continued to focus on due diligence and accountability through various portfolio activities. This will of course remain our focus for the coming year. I’d like to think of 2015 as a year in which to take action. Those of you planning new ventures, whether they are academic or work related, should consider taking action by applying for assistance through the Trust. The Bridging and Scholarship funds are available, all you need to do is simply go to the website and see if you meet the criteria for assistance – then follow up with a completed application form. We are encouraging more people to consider trades and apprenticeships this year. With housing shortages throughout New Zealand, the Christchurch rebuild and a growing population, tradesmen and women are in high demand. The New Zealand Government has implemented a trades and apprenticeship subsidy scheme, which means easier access to apprenticeships and better support for those undertaking a trade. Take the time to find more information about trades and apprenticeships. You might want to start with the internet and then follow up with your local providers such as polytechs or institutes of technology. You could also knock on the door of the local mechanic, builder, butcher or hotel (chefs) and ask about opportunities to undertake a trade. Keep in mind when you start the ball rolling, you are entitled to apply to Wairarapa Moana Trust for a $1000.00 grant towards the cost of your apprenticeship. Trustees would also like to remind you about the Wairarapa Moana Trust Bridging Fund. This is available all year round until the fund is depleted and offers anyone up to $1000.00 to attend a course or programme in order to upskill and gain a tohu that gives them better employment prospects. This could be a higher level driver’s licence, a barman’s certificate, a first aid course or some such tohu that does not meet the same criteria as the scholarship fund. You may need to gain a certificate that sits outside of normal academic study such as a health and safety or a ‘train the trainer’ qualification. Now is the time, 2015 is the year whānau – think about these opportunities and TAKE ACTION. E te Iwi, piki ake ki ngā maunga tapu ko Pukeamoamo, ko Pukeahurangi.

There was a focus this year on staff recognition with an awards ceremony. A number of awards were given out to staff after recommendations from the various managers for their efforts during the season. Staff, key suppliers, contractors and the Board attended. WMI has also been working with some young shareholders or descendants of shareholders to begin their journey in the dairy industry and look forward to updating you on their successes over time. The recruitment drive in December saw a search for two new farm managers for the 2015 season. This resulted in two internal promotions. The promotion of the next level below saw their replacements filled internally as well. This was a great result and meant WMI did not look to hire outside its existing staff base. These internal staff promotions and reassignments are part of the WMI philosophy, to enable staff to see that there are progression options within WMI. It’s been a challenging season so far for the farms. With a cold spring the grass growth was pretty much stop-start, with no main growth flush. This made it difficult early on. In December there was good growth which quickly turned to seed and created a late surplus with some quality issues. The New Year, with the long hot spell, saw a quick change to deficit again. Wairarapa Waiata Tawhito CD The first major Wairarapa Moana investment in the revival of our cultural icons was launched in 2007 and continues to be sought after by whā nau. The collection of customary waiata, karakia and tauparapara from Wairarapa contain the unique stories and words of our ancestors. They also tell our whakapapa and philosophies and are a vital cultural resource for all Wairarapa tangata whenua. Set yourself a personal challenge to learn as many of the waiata as you can! Copies of the CD are available for $10 from the Wairarapa Moana office in Masterton. 10 With the dry conditions and grass growth slowing, irrigation began and previously-made silage was in wide use as supplementary feed to maintain production and stock condition. Irrigation started again to promote good grass growth, but, because of the variable weather it’s been a demanding season, with managers constantly monitoring growth and outputs. Production did drop off a little but with the recent rain we are now maintaining well. We are continuing to feed supplements and monitoring grass growths with some rain helping to push some better growth for the latter part of the summer. This is turning into one of the driest years on record, with water irrigation restrictions being imposed on the Waiteti and the Mangakino streams because of low water flows. Until last October the Mangakino stream has only been below the low flow rate eight days in the last fifty years. Since October this summer it has already fallen below the low flow level for ten days with a lot of summer to go.

A Walk Down Memory Lane Trust House Wairarapa Bush Rugby Union time in 1928, successfully defending it eight times before losing it to Southland (16 points to 19). During this period the Wairarapa Union had no less than 9 players representing in the New Zealand team, heady days indeed. Wairarapa has held the Shield on one other occasion, that was in 1950 when they took it from Canterbury in Christchurch 3 points to nil, only to lose it to South Canterbury in the very first defense of 1951, going down 14 points to 17. Article: Trust House Wairarapa Bush Rugby Union Photo: Wairarapa Archive As with most Unions the Wairarapa Union has witnessed changing fortunes throughout its history, clubs have come and gone, new talent would shine and fade. Without a doubt the Wairarapa Union’s brightest moments were 1927 through to 1930 when it won the Ranfurly Shield on two separate occasions, first in 1927, successfully defending it twice before losing it to Manawhenua, a combined Manawatu-Horowhenua team (16 points to 18), the second Shareholder/ Beneficiary Search The Incorporation has had mail returned to the office for the following shareholders or trustees.
