Their age and experiences are far apart, but Olympic and world shotput champion Valerie Vili and Major Hone Waititi, the only surviving company commander of the 28th Maori Battalion, have one thing in common - both brought honour to their country. Yesterday, their country honoured them as they joined business, sport, medical, arts and community leaders at an investiture ceremony in Auckland. Some of the country's top business, sports, medical, arts and community leaders have been honoured at a ceremony in Auckland. The first batch of up to 77 people to receive the country's top honours were recognised at an investiture ceremony at Government House yesterday. Among them were top businessman Tony Gibbs and actress Mabel Wharekawa-Burt. Vili, made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for her services to athletics, said the day had been one of reflection. "When I first got asked [to accept the award], I was just thinking about doing this in the last 10 years - it's been a massive ride." Being honoured alongside some of the country's top people was another reason to celebrate. "It's pretty amazing to be sitting right next to them. I'm very happy, very honoured.

Adventurous souls flocked to Hokitika over the weekend for the annual Wildfoods Festival. Delicacies on offer included huhu grubs, wasp larvae icecream, cucumber fish, sheep milk cheeses and wok fried clams, as well as that most famous of local fares - whitebait fritters. Governor-General Anand Satyanand was game enough to sample a lamb's testicle and pronounced it "very nice". The festival was the brain child of Hokitika local Claire Bryant, who decided in 1990 to instigate the celebration of wild West Coast tastes. The first festival attracted just 1800 people, but by 2003 attendance peaked with 22500. Numbers have since been capped at 15000. And while the attraction for most is the opportunity to try some unusual cuisine, Wildfoods is also a place where local community groups and businesses can raise funds and profile their products. Musicians, mime artists, comedians and dancers are also on hand to provide entertainment throughout the day. Videographer Simon Baker attended this year's Wildfoods Festival and spoke to some of those enjoying the atmosphere.
