  • The 1934 Pahiatua Earthquake Sequence: Analysis of Observational and Instrumental Data
    221 THE 1934 PAHIATUA EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE: ANALYSIS OF OBSERVATIONAL AND INSTRUMENTAL DATA Gaye Downes1' 2, David Dowrick1' 4, Euan Smith3' 4 and Kelvin Berryman1' 2 ABSTRACT Descriptive accounts and analysis of local seismograms establish that the epicentre of the 1934 March 5 M,7.6 earthquake, known as the Pahiatua earthquake, was nearer to Pongaroa than to Pahiatua. Conspicuous and severe damage (MM8) in the business centre of Pahiatua in the northern Wairarapa led early seismologists to name the earthquake after the town, but it has now been found that the highest intensities (MM9) occurred about 40 km to the east and southeast of Pahiatua, between Pongaroa and Bideford. Uncertainties in the location of the epicentre that have existed for sixty years are now resolved with the epicentre determined in this study lying midway between those calculated in the 1930' s by Hayes and Bullen. Damage and intensity summaries and a new isoseismal map, derived from extensive newspaper reports and from 1934 Dominion Observatory "felt reports", replace previous descriptions and isoseismal maps. A stable solution for the epicentre of the mainshock has been obtained by analysing phase arrivals read from surviving seismograms of the rather small and poorly equipped 1934 New Zealand network of twelve stations (two privately owned). The addition of some teleseismic P arrivals to this solution shifts the location of the epicentre by less than 10 km. It lies within, and to the northern end of, the MM9 isoseismal zone. Using local instrumental data larger aftershocks and other moderate magnitude earthquakes that occurred within 10 days and 50 km of the mainshock have also been located.

  • Wairarapa Train Services: Survey Results
    Wairarapa train services: survey results Introduction Greater Wellington Regional Council carried out a survey of passengers on the north-bound Wairarapa trains on 22 June 2011 as part of the Wairarapa Public Transport Service Review. A total of 725 completed forms were returned. We would like to thank passengers and train-staff for your help with this survey. A summary of the results are shown below. The full survey report is available at www.gw.govt.nz/wairarapareview Where people live and how they get to the station About 25% of passengers live in each of Masterton, Carterton or Featherston. A further 13% of passengers live in Greytown and 6% in Martinborough. Sixty-eight percent of passengers travel to the station by car (57% parking their car at the station and 11% being dropped off). A further 23% of passengers walk or cycle to the station and 7% use the bus. Origin and destination The main boarding station in Wairarapa is Featherston (33%), followed by Masterton (28%), Carterton (25%) and Woodside (12%). Most passengers (85%) are going to Wellington, with the rest (15%) going to the Hutt Valley. Why people use the train, and purpose and frequency of travel The main reason people said they use the train is because it is cheaper than taking the car (56% of passengers) and a significant number also said it is quicker than driving (29% of passengers). Comfort (45% of passengers) and ability to work on the train (47% of passengers) were also important. Twenty-six percent of passengers also indicated that it’s environmentally responsible and 20% said they had no other transport option.

  • Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington
    Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington September 2017 ISBN 978-0-9941409-4-4 (PDF) Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington About the Author As an American living in New Zealand, I’ve been observing the debate here on immigration and multiculturalism. I arrived in Wellington last year with my Kiwi husband and three-year old son – and while settling in we’ve spent a lot of time discovering the delights of the city and its people. The experience also gave me some perspective on being a migrant far from home. I have a professional interest in South East Asian history, languages and culture - I just completed a PhD on the subject. I speak some Filipino, and am fascinated by the Philippines’ complex history. One of the major phenomena in the Philippines since the 1970s has been the growth of the global Filipino diaspora. That story has often been full of sadness. So I was intrigued by anecdotes of positivity and success from Wellington. Writing about how the migrant Filipino community has settled in New Zealand has been more than just a research project. It has highlighted how migration plays a role in community building. It also has meaning for me and my family’s future here. I really wanted to share some of the stories that I think reflect successful outcomes from immigration over the past thirty years. By Dr Rebecca Townsend 1 Key Points 1. 2. 3.

  • Winners at Aratoi a Second Showing for 2019 Molly Morpeth Canaday Award – Painting and Drawing Winning Works
    Winners at Aratoi A second showing for 2019 Molly Morpeth Canaday Award – Painting and Drawing winning works Masterton is set to host 13 new award-winning artworks at Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History, fresh from the 2019 Molly Morpeth Canaday Award – Painting and Drawing exhibition in Whakatāne. This is the first time an extended showing has come to the Wairarapa. Co-ordinator Heather Hourigan says the new partnership with Aratoi is an ideal way to reach out to a different community. “Audiences from the Wairarapa would not normally get to see this national award exhibition,” she says. “We also liked the idea that this extended showing would highlight the opportunities open to Wairarapa artists.” This non-acquisitive award invites entries from New Zealand artists each year, and celebrates a unique variety of conceptual, visual, and geographical terrain. The 2019 Painting and Drawing Award attracted 500 entries, exhibited close to 80 finalists, and distributed a prize pool of more than $20,000 to 13 deserving artists. Twelve of the winners were selected by international Guest Judge Chris McAuliffe (Australia); with one winner selected by public vote during the Whakatāne exhibition. “Aratoi invites everyone to attend the opening event on Thursday 11 April at 5pm, featuring a presentation by MMCA Co-ordinator Heather Hourigan,” says Aratoi Director Susanna Shadbolt. For participating artists, the MMCA offers professional development opportunities by showcasing their practice to peers, collectors, critics, museum curators, the media and the community at large. This special showing includes work by Mark Anstis (Ōpōtiki), John Brown (Hastings), Esther Deans (Auckland), Mary Duggan (Whakatāne), Kirsten Ferguson (Dunedin), Toby George King (Auckland), Teresa HR Lane (Auckland), Raewyn Martyn (Wellington), Nicola McCafferty (Wellington), Adrienne Millwood (Lower Hutt), Sena Park (Paihia), Danae Ripley (Auckland), and Lea-Anne Sheather (Whakatāne).

Otorohanga District Council vision. p7 A Candidate’s Guide to the Otorohanga District | 2 Background Aotea The Otorohanga District is part of the King Country region, known by Māori as ‘Te Rohe Potae’ - “The Area of the Hat.” It extends along the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island from Mount Pirongia in the north to the coastal town of Kawhia in the south and stretches inland to Pureora Forest Park and the Waikato River. The Otorohanga District is located 50 kilometres south of Hamilton. The area governed by the Council covers 1976 square kilometres and extends from the Kawhia and Aotea Harbours on the west coast for a distance of 90 km to the eastern extremity on the Waikato River near Mangakino. Included within the District are the urban communities of Otorohanga, Kawhia and Aotea. The eastern and western areas have predominantly more hills than the central area, which forms the southern limit of the Waikato Basin. Otorohanga is centrally placed, being within an easy driving distance of Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupo and New Plymouth. The local economy is primarily based on agriculture, with sheep, beef and dairy farming being the principle activities. The town has a population of approximately 3000 and is a service centre for the surrounding rural areas. Otorohanga is the closest town to the world-famous glow worm caves at Waitomo, which generate significant tourist traffic.

Ko te kotahitanga te waka e kawe nei te oranga mō ngā whānau, mō ngā hapū, mō ngā iwi. Poipoia te rangatahi, ka puta, ka ora. The name ‘Tuia’ is derived from a tauparapara (Māori proverbial saying) that is hundreds of years old. This saying recognises and explains the potential that lies within meaningful connections to: the past, present and future; to self; and to people, place and environment. The word ‘Tuia’ means to weave and when people are woven together well, their collective contribution has a greater positive impact on community. We as a rangatahi (youth) leadership programme look to embody this by connecting young Māori from across Aotearoa/New Zealand - connecting passions, aspirations and dreams of rangatahi to serve our communities well. 1 Tuia Overview Tuia is an intentional, long-term, intergenerational approach to develop and enhance the way in which rangatahi Māori contribute to communities throughout New Zealand. We look to build a network for rangatahi to help support them in their contribution to their communities.
