Nga mihinui ki nga whanau whanui

In 1972 Pouakani Marae was opened for the Ngati Kahungunu o Wairarapa whanau who came to develop and live on the land exchanged for Lake Wairarapa as well as for other Maori of the district who came to work on the hydro scheme.

The whare tipuna was named Tamatea Pokai Whenua under the kawa of Ngati Kahungunu o Wairarapa.

Sadly our Marae buildings were burnt down by arson in 2007.

We commenced the Marae rebuild aiming to be completed by Labour weekend 2012 to coincide with its 40th Anniversary. This date has changed and we now have a confirmed date of Saturday 17th of November 2012.

Fostering Children Is Very Rewarding

Aimee Groome along with husband Craig and their 3-year-old son Rico are one of many foster families in the Nelson region.

Aimee first became a foster mother about four years ago and has been a foster mum to about fifteen children from newborn babies to 17-year-old teens.

She has opened up her home to provide a loving and caring family environment and has cared for children not necessarily from unfortunate backgrounds but to those that have arrived on her doorstep due to unfortunate circumstances.

“Itrytobeasavailableaspossible.Attheendoftheday,ifachildneedsyou,then that’s what being a caregiver is all about. What I hope is that every child that comes here has a positive experience and when they move on from here [I hope] they look back and think `I had fun there’.”

She finds the role very rewarding when she sees the smile on a child’s face and hears the child talking and laughing.

“I don’t have any expectations of what the child is going to be like. I don’t look at it as though I’m going to be their mum now because at the end of the day they will love their family, no matter what.”

People have often asked her how she said goodbye to the children after forming a bond with them.

“The children are going to abetter place than this, that’s how I look at it.Hopefully the experience they’ve had here has been positive.”

Aimee would encourage anyone to become a foster parent.

“People think you need a lot of time so they imagine foster parents are retired people but you don’t need to have any more time than a normal parent would. Youdon’tneedanextremepassionforchildrentobeafostermum,youjustneedtobeaparent,”shesaid.

Miraka Exceeds Expectation

ThefirstMaori-ownedmilkpowderfactoryis planning a rapid growth after exceeding

expectations in its opening year.

The $90 million Miraka milk powder plant near Taupo which opened a year ago is mainly owned byfarmingtrusts,withaone-fifthstakeheldby

Vietnam’sbiggestdairycompany,Vinamilk.

It had been intended to operate the plant at 80% capacity but Miraka chief executive, Richard Wyeth,

indicated that the plant ran so well in a bumper dairy season that it surpassed production targets foritsfirstyearby10%toprocess170million

litres of milk and says it expects to grow quickly to doubleitsrevenueinfiveyears.

MostofthemilkpowderisbeingsoldtoVietnamthroughVinamilkandtoChinaandasthe

company grows Miraka will double the number of Tuwharetoa, Te Arawa and non-Maori farm

suppliers to 90 for the coming season and grow production by more than 30%. And considering

Miraka is presently a one-site operation, it should be able to expand and double its revenue over the

nextthreetofiveyears.

Wairarapa in brief›› The mention of Supercity sends shivers down the back

of many Wairarapa residents. The future governance of Wairarapa could well see the region being managed and controlled from a glass tower in Wellington. That is something that Wairarapa residents are opposed to with 88%of thepopulationpreferringaWairarapaCouncilwith12locally-electedrepresentatives,oneMayorandanumberoflocalCommunityBoardrepstokeepitallhonest. Wairarapa is completely different to Wellington and certainly don’t want striped suits telling us what we can and can’t do. We’ve always been referred to as the poor relations and will have little or no say at all.

›› Wairarapa is soon to become the focus of a project that will map tribal Marae and will eventually see an estimated 800 properties identified for preservationthroughoutthecountry.AresearchteamledbyDrPaulTapsell,ProfessorofMaoriStudiesat theUniversityofOtago will be travelling throughout the East Coast of theNorthIslandworkingontheproject.Theteamwillfocus on Ngati Porou and Ngati Kahungunu Marae,stretchingthelengthoftheEastCoast,throughHawke’sBaytoWairarapaandHorowhenua.Anecdotalevidencehas shown that up to a third of tribal Marae throughout the country could be in a “state of collapse” due to a diminishing number of elders and families moving away.

›› Kaumatua Alex Tairoa has almost every day since thedeathofhiswifeof56years,driventohergravetospend time with his special lady. The 77-year-old great-grandfather was chatting away to his dearly departed

wife when some low-life crept up and stole his car. We hear stories about people leaving the keys in their cars at petrolstations,outsidedairiesandschoolsonlytoreturnto find their car gone but who would have thought the cemetery an unsafe place. Alex was only parked 20 metres away and tried running after the culprit but to no avail. The incident was reported to the police and to date the car has not been found but a kind samaritan from Whanganui was disgusted when he read Alex’s story and has offered him a replacement vehicle.

A wananga to discuss the progression of the Marae re-buildwillbeheldonSunday14thOctober2012

at 1.00pm at the Marae.The trustees encourage whanau to attend and look

forward to your participation.

All enquiries to the Chairman RawiriSmith063777612


Officially it is spring on the 1st of September but here in Mangakino we have been experiencing spring conditions for the past two weeks. While the majority of the country is up to its knees in mud as a result of the very wet August, the pumice soils of the Central Plateau have soaked up the moisture.

While there has been some damage to tracks and crossings,thefarmshavegenerallygotofflightlyfromthewet August.

Every day that it rains is another day without a frost. This has had a positive impact on soil temperature. Recentsoil temperature was read at twice that of the same time last year, consequently recent pasture growthhas beenrecorded at twice the long-term average for August.

Whiletherehasbeensomedamagetotracksandcrossings,the wet conditions have meant work on the new irrigation systemhasbeenstop-startbutallsixteenpivotsareup,allthe mainline is in and the three pump stations have been built. Contouring work has been completed on twelveof the sixteen pivots so by the end of September all the pivots will have been walked and we will be ready to flick the switch on the 1st of November as planned.

Approximately 60% of the herd has calved and thesecowsareproducingwell,withpasturebeingthemajorityof their diet.

The Dairy Support block wintered 2500 cows andalthoughthewetconditionsprovedtrying,theseanimalsdid winter well and this is a contributor to the good start being experienced on the dairy units. The main focus on the Dairy Support blocks at present is to get thewinter crop ground back into production with the heavy underfoot conditions impacting on this.

The annual accounts have been signed off and are at the printers and I look forward to attending the AGM in November.
