Hurunui-O-Rangi Marae ‘Tū mai ki runga i a Uhi Mānuka, tū mai ki runga i a Parikouiti Titiro whakararo, ko te auahi o ngā ahikā, e pupū ana Koinei ngā takawaenga, koinei ngā papakainga O o mātau tipuna…...’

Tēnā tātau katoa ngā uri o te Wairarapa Moana.

E mihi kau ana ki a koutou i runga i te āhuatanga o te wā. Ki a koutou o te kupenga o ngā hapū o Hurunui-o-rangi anei te pitopito kōrero, mo tō koutou karu, tō koutou taringa, hei māngai mo te whānau whānui. Nō reira, tēnā koutou katoa.

We welcome the opportunity to provide an update on the happenings at Hurunui-o-rangi Marae.

Meetings The marae trustees, marae committee and the urupā trustees hold regular meetings to inform the whānau and community of matters of interest. The trustees and the committee hold their meetings bimonthly on the third Sunday of the month starting at 2.00pm at the marae.

The next trustee meeting will be held on March 21st and will focus solely on marae development. A freshwater presentation is proposed along with an opportunity to express your ideas for the marae complex, and we will consider leadership roles for focus groups. Our meetings are targeted to last no longer than two and a half hours.

The marae trustees are currently looking for a secretary. If there is someone who would like to be involved and can dedicate some time to this position please contact Charmaine 06 378 9413 evenings.

Chief Registrar MLC, Julie Tangaere and Mana Tomlins

Currently 97% of lands in Papua New Guinea are still in Customary ownership, with no formal administrative structures in place. This presents difficulty in that any organisational body or entity that may wish to enter into any business arrangement with the land owners has great difficulty in locating the rightful owners. The problems are exacerbated by the fact that there are 800 different spoken dialects in Papua New Guinea today.

Office member Henare Manaena gave a comprehensive presentation of the History of Wairarapa Moana followed by Charmaine Kawana on the Operations of Wairarapa Moana and Ngaere Webb on the Function and Role of the Share Register.

Deputy Chief Magistrate, Stephen Oli, commented that it was encouraging to meet with a multiply-owned, land-based entity that has

progressed as far as Wairarapa Moana has today from the hardships of the late 1800s. Stephen added ‘we are today at the stage you were at in the 1800s’.

Their visit to Masterton on Friday included a sitting of the Māori Land Court where they were given the opportunity to spend some time with Judge Coxhead.

On their return to Wellington, the delegation visited Papawai Marae in Greytown.

In May 2008 the Wairarapa Moana Trust granted funds to the trustees of the two urupā adjacent to the marae, Te Amahua o Ngāi Tahu and Ngāi Tāneroa. The project was to erect a memorial stone (in both urupā) to those who were buried in unmarked graves during the flu epidemic.

This was completed and the commemoration stones were unveiled on 21st November 2009.

Treaty Claims Representatives Henare Manaena and Frances Reiri-Smith

New Marae Complex The marae whānau has been fundraising for the past 20 years and has also been successful in receiving grants to help with the re-building of our marae complex. We are dedicating the next two years to fulfilling the long held vision. The trustees are looking for support from the whānau to ensure the re-building of our marae complex is a success. All those with skills, time and a desire to be involved are asked to make contact – Remember ... many hands make light work! People power is powerful!

He aha te mea nui, he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.

Logo With the marae development underway, we are keen to look for a logo for stationery and merchandise including clothing. Ideally the logo should represent a part of our history. If you or someone you know is keen to give this a go, great – please let us know as we are happy to help with the history. The designer of the approved logo will receive a surprise gift.

The trustees are also looking at future projects to enhance our urupā. These will include further boxing and cementing of graves, spreading of lime where needed, replacement of deteriorated gate boards, a further commemoration to acknowledge whānau who are buried at other urupā throughout the motu and an on-going project to develop a register of graves and memorial gravestones within Te Amahua o Ngāi Tahu and Ngāi Tāneroa urupā.

We acknowledge the hard work that has been achieved since the urupā trustees have been appointed. There is always room for anyone who would like to help lighten the load for the trustees.

Earth, Wind & Fire at Te Papa We encourage those who have not yet been to see the exhibition to set a couple of hours aside to visit. The section that tells the story of ahi kaa has a focus on Hurunui-o-rangi. The exhibition includes the viewing of the pou whenua and the korero associated with it. A ‘must see’ for all Wairarapa whānau.

From the Farm Gate As Wairarapa Moana Incorporation is halfway through another year it is pleasing to report that the latest financial forecasts for 2010 have significantly improved compared with the disappointing 2009 results disclosed at the last AGM. Global prices for milk have strengthened, and cost structures have stabilised and WMI is on target to match last year’s record production levels which is pleasing as this lifts the goalposts for expected results going forward in future years.

assets and managing cash flow levels to keep debt levels at a reasonable level set by the shareholders.

This season we have experienced tough climatic spring conditions balanced out with favourable late summer conditions for the year so far. Pasture growth and rainfall is still below the last five year average but the farm teams are managing the situation well. Management is also adapting its new policies to counteract climatic conditions as they arise.

Beyond the farm gate there are challenges that are constantly under review to find feasible solutions to benefit the long-term WMI business strategy. The Emissions Trading Scheme has a number of political unknowns at present, there is talk about additional land taxes and nutrient planning and water allocation are hot topics as we balance environmental implications against actual science and the strategy of sustainable farming.

Chris is currently focusing on reviews of forty-plus staff and also in the process of advance planning for next season with feed plans and stock numbers. Staff members are being pushed to perform and take ownership of their roles so they too can grow with Wairarapa and add value to the team.

So I am pleased to report at this stage of the year there are no significant adverse events to report and that the WMI assets are performing well. As a team we look forward to the AGM at Mangakino this year as an opportunity to highlight the on-going developments and strategic outlook for WMI.

The improvement in productivity levels is materialising as planned and generally staff are contributing well to the Incorporation’s performance.

Brian is now well settled into his role as Manager of the Sheep and Beef Unit. The pricing for the sheep and beef sector is slightly weaker compared with last year, however, production levels are sound and synergies with the dairy unit always improving.

Currently on-farm projects are kept to a minimum as we are focusing on improving the performance of existing

SPONSORED WALK OVER THE SOUTHERN CROSSING OF THE TARARUA RANGE It was an early-morning start on our 30-kilometre tramp as we gathered at the car park at the Waiohine swingbridge at 6:30am on the 6th of February. The Southern Crossing is a classic route over the peaks in the southern part of the Tararuas.

The tramping party members comprised myself, Peter Te Tau; Danny Te Tau and Kerry Hayes of Masterton; Patrick Te Tau, Wellington; and Vincent Te Tau of Carterton.

Our guide, Chris Peterson, arrived late in the day to join us for Day Two. We set up for the night and got an early night.

The hut was filled with trampers.

We started by heading up the Cone Saddle Track where we would see nice views of the mountain range ahead and then we went down to Cone Hut where we rested and had a bite to eat. Cone Hut is a very old hut (c1946) made of roughsawn timber with an open fire place, sited in the Upper Tauherenikau River Valley near the river at the bottom of the track down from Cone Saddle.

We all got an early start from Alpha Hut to go up to Mt Alpha and Mt Hector. It was a good tramp to Mt Alpha where we had great views of both Wairarapa and Wellington and it was a bit misty over on the Kapiti Coast. There were some good wetlands on the tops and a strong walk up to Mt Hector with a little wind to cool us down. There were great views from Mt Hector where we stopped to rest and eat and to take some great photos of Wairarapa, Wellington and the Kapiti Coast and of the old wooden cross, a memorial to trampers who lost their lives in WWII, then a good tramp to Kime Hut. It provides good views out over Wairarapa with nice wetlands around the front of the hut. Kime Hut is located below Hut Mound (1440m). We wrote in the log book and headed off down to Field Hut.

It was nice and cool as we forded the river. Ahead were stands of native bush all around us and then a good strong tramp up to the Bull Mound. It was very open and flat with wetlands (looked like a big sponge) and it had great views overlooking Masterton down to the Lake Ferry and also great views of Mt Alpha (1361m) and Mt Hector (1529m), the highest point of the Southern Crossing. Hells Gate was our next destination and then a good strong tramp to Alpha Hut where we made it by 2pm. It’s a cosy hut with 20 beds, a wood oven, tank water and toilet.

Field Hut (c1924) has 20 bunks and was built by woodsman, Joe Gibbs, for the Tararua Tramping Club. It has the distinction of being the oldest tramping hut in the Tararua

Forest Park. It has an historic designation and is located on the track above Otaki Forks.

From Field Hut we tramped down to Otaki Forks, the end of our adventure where we saw the welcome sight of the vans there to collect us.

Vincent and his whānau would like to take this time to thank our wonderful guide, Chris Peterson, who assisted us with camping gear and food, for all of his time and hard work with the tramp, also, for all our supporters with their kind donations to date. Vincent is grateful for the donations to assist him with his year-long AFS Student Exchange to Switzerland from July 2010.

Wairarapa in brief Wairarapa Moana descendant, DERYCK HUMPHRIES, of Tauranga, represented New Zealand at the International Masters Hockey Tournament in Hong Kong, at the end of 2009. Competing in the Men’s 50+ team in the Senior Masters Division, the New Zealand team finished 3rd equal.

Tia is the daughter of Marama and Eddie Tuuta. She has one older brother Tanerau and a younger whāngai sister Piriairini, and they all grew up in Wellington and Wairarapa. Tia’s parents worked hard to give them all the best opportunities that they could have, even though Tia was the one that got into the most trouble they were good memories.

Leaving Wairarapa to study and to regain some sense of stability, Tia gained her Bachelor of Māori Laws and Philosophy, returning to Wairarapa in 2006 with her partner, Joe Nuku, and daughter, Paranihia. They now have a one-year old son named Tuteremoana. Tia’s whānau is heavily involved with Waka Ama. Their

Agreement has been found short of the Environment Court between Masterton District Council and groups that opposed, including Kahungunu ki Wairarapa, plans for its wastewater treatment plant upgrade. As a result of the contribution by all parties the council has modified the discharge protocol to ensure there are minimal effects to the Ruamahanga River.

UCOL Wairarapa has revealed plans for a new $300,000 Masterton complex to benefit budding tradesmen. Under construction is an automotive training facility which is the first stage of a Trades Centre complex proposed for the area.

It is hoped the facility will be up and running by the start of the 2010 academic year.

daughter, Paranihia, literally grew up around it. Her first time on a waka was at the age of 3 months at Evans Bay, in Wellington, with her mother screaming at her father to bring her back. 2012 will be Paranihia’s first year of eligibility to compete, a milestone Tia’s whānau is eagerly anticipating.

Having been lucky to have worked for her iwi on her father’s and mother’s side, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa and Ngāti Mutunga ki Wharekauri, has provided opportunities to learn off some amazing people, some that have passed on and others that are still giving themselves to others.

The biggest lesson that Tia has learnt was in 2003 when her mother had a stroke from years of working hard to give back to others, and that her mother lives by now, is to do one thing and do it well, not to give 20% here, 30% there and 5% over there, it is just not worth it and unfair on others.

Last year was a hard year for Tia and her whānau and being given this opportunity to work for Wairarapa Moana Incorporation has provided a new path for them.

With a young family Tia is able to be with them and to pick them up from kōhanga and kura.

Tia finds the working environment at WMI is so positive and hard-working and there is always something new to do, there are your usual outcomes that need to be completed and the ones that pop up out of the blue, it all provides a challenge and keeps things interesting.

POUAKANI MARAE UPDATE Kia ora ngā whānau o Pouakani ara o Wairarapa Moana.

It’s that time again for another update on what’s happening with the mahi in Mangakino/Pouakani on our marae hou.

We are drawing to a close with regards to the construction part of the re-build. The carpenters will be finishing within the next couple of weeks and all that will be left to do are the ‘subbies’ to come in.

We have received confirmation of funding from Trust Waikato and The Lotteries Commission so this was good news.

We have been advised by Mr Shuster that this is the optimum time to harvest kakaho for our tukutuku panels.

He has suggested that he could send someone out to help harvest and to give a kōrero on how to cut, strip and store the kakaho stems. We have not yet set a time to do this but will have that posted on our site so whānau could come and take part in that.

Check out the following website for more information and pictures: http://www.naumaiplace.com/site/pouakani-marae

The whakairo will be starting mid March. Takirirangi will be on site so we are looking forward to that.
