Thankfully Whale Watch Kaikōura set aside thanks to the Hutton’s Shearwater Charitable Trust the area for the new colony and the rest, as they say, is and many volunteers dedicated to increasing bird history.

But that has been her reality since she dropped out of law after her first year (despite very good results), to Rebecca’s work started when she mapped all the impact specialise in science with geology as her major. She has craters that were produced by flying rocks from the further specialised in volcanology and in April, she took August 2012 Tongariro eruption.

Excavation at Hazelburn rock art site Over Queen’s Birthday weekend the Ngāi Tahu Māori Rock Art Trust, with rūnanga support, ran an archaeological excavation at one of the public rock art sites on Three Mile Bush Rd in Hazelburn.

The site is prone to flooding in heavy rain, causing damage to the rock art. The objective of the excavation was to carefully remove cultural material in the floor of the rock shelter so a drain could be installed to stop any further damage to the rock drawings. Trust Fieldworker Brian Allingham directed the work with help from Rock Art Trust staff, Department of Conservation archaeologist Shar Briden, and several volunteers.

A large area of fresh water mussel shell was revealed, along with the bones of extinct birds (including moa) and kiore, plus some flaked stone tools and a piece of kokowai. Charcoal was also collected from the excavation and will be used to give an approximate date that the shelter was being used by ngā tūpuna. A full report on the excavation will be completed once all of Removing cultural material from an excavation site. the bird bone has been identified.

If this offer was not taken up, the work was not offered.

Although Ivy didn’t, others took work at the hospital on their weeks off from the mill thereby supplementing their income. Starting at the mill, the wage paid was 10 shillings and 6 pence ($1.05) with a half crown (25 cents) rise every six months. At this time, a pair of shoes could be bought for 5 shillings and a pair of gym shoes for half a crown.

24 Craighead School visit On Thursday 31 July, the first of two groups from Craighead School, Timaru visited the marae on what turned out to be a beautiful warm, almost spring-like day. Along with the Craighead girls, we welcomed some visiting Japanese students. They all enjoyed a multi- kai meal at midday and were kept busy learning about mahinga kai practices, poi making, harakeke flower making and waiata with Wendy and Anna from the Heritage Education Programme in Timaru.

The girls were welcomed onto the marae by Aunty Sis Dodds, Wendy Heath and Maku Davis. Thanks to Matua John and Makaere for their assistance with waiata and to Keith (the bus driver), who was extremely helpful throughout the day. Below are some pictures taken on the day. Thanks to Lex, Kate, Dee and Steve who worked in the kitchen. A second group from Craighead visited on Thursday 7 August. E Papa Waiari (stick game).

In the late 1980s, the then-bankers for Ngāi Tahu told the Ngāi Tahu Māori Board that they were unwilling to continue funding the Board (which is another whole story) and that we would have to close our tribe’s account with them. Like rats leaving a sinking ship the rest of the New Zealand banks took a similar position and we were facing having to shut down the struggle for Te Kerēme.

Graham Kitson (Wharetutu Newton whakapapa, Awarua), facilitated Tā Tipene’s contact with Mr Yamada and the two went to Tokyo. The outcome was that the Yamada Corporation funded Ngāi Tahu through that critical period and made our forward progress with Te Kerēme possible. Mr Yamada thus saved the day for our people.

The majority of the callers who made contact with us advised that this is a photo of husband and wife (and also cousins) William Isaac Haberfield II (1874 or 1875 – 1936) and Ritea ‘Ruby’ Haberfield (née Rehu; 1885 – 1907). We were also advised that they would be better described as a Moeraki couple, rather than a Bluff couple.

Further information details that William Isaac is a son of John Kerle Haberfield and Elizabeth “Noki” Haberfield (née Honor, formerly Newton) and was raised in the Oue/Omaui/Greenhills area. Noki was born on Whenua Hou in 1839 to Popoia and Joseph Honor. John Kerle was born at Moeraki in 1845 to William Isaac Haberfield (1815-1907) and Meriana Teitei ( c.1810-1852).

Noki and John were married at the Ruapuke Schoolhouse in 1870. Ritea (a fellow descendant of William Isaac and Teitei) was raised at Moeraki and she and William were married at the Hampden Registry Office in late 1906.
