A 14 year project to translateimportant Baha’ı Faith writingsinto te reo Maori was celebratedat Purekireki Marae on Sundaywith the launch of Etahi Kara-kia Baha’ı — the book ofBaha’ı Prayers.

The translations have beenundertaken by Dr Tom Roa ofNgati maniapoto and Waikato.

With a PhD in translation androle as Manukura (AssociateProfessor) in Waikato Univers-ity’s Maori and IndigenousStudies faculty, Tom has been atthe forefront of bringing Maorilanguage to the mainstream overmany years.

In a recent interview he said:“I believe I have a responsibilityto be a cultural mediatorbetween the Maori and Pakehaworlds.

“I come back to the idea of

mana with regard to these twovery different worlds.

“The mana of each world ismaintained and the integrity ofeach mana is acknowledged,” hesaid.

Working on the writings ofBaha’ı Faith has meant alsoacting as cultural mediatorbetween Maori language andPersian and Arabic.

It meant working closely withmembers of the New ZealandBaha’ı community — in particu-lar Farzbod Taefi who is ofPersian origin.

He says it was an illuminat-ing experience for him and gavehim a greater respect for thedepth of te reo Maori.

Baha’ı Prayers are takenfrom the writings of centralBaha’ı figures Baha’u’llah, TheBab and ‘Abdu’l-Baha.

So easy toadopt safepracticeswith dogs

I wonder how many dogowners who do not pick up theirdog poop are aware of the dread-ful misery they are creating.

My dog, or your dog, maycontain the Toxo cara canis virusin its poo.

I have noticed that most dogowners in Pirongia carefullypick up their dog poo with aplastic bag as they are aware oft h e a w f u l c o n s e q u e n c e t otoddlers, which is a lifetime ofblindness.

How does this happen?Your dog, or mine, poops in

the park, you do not pick it upand it may contain this awfulworm. The eggs incubate in thesoil and an innocent child likeyour or my grandchild will eatgrass and soil as kiddies do.

The eggs hatch in the child,and because their immune sys-tem is not able to cope with it, thebrain succumbs and blindness isthe result.

Just lately I notice there is dogpoo in the park and grass vergesin our village, so our toddlers areat huge risk — therefore I beg alldog owners, please pick up yourdog poo.

It is so easy, just use a plasticbag as a glove.

Located at 104 George Street, the Te Awamutu Hospice Shop is one of eight throughout the Waikato that help Hospice Waikato continue to provide its services in the region free of charge by turning second hand donated goods into fi rst class care.

There are plenty of treasures to be found, furniture and home wares all displayed so that you can imagine these items in your own home. Racks of good quality clothing in every size and colour, along with an abundance of accessories – shoes, boots, jewellery, there really is something for everyone! There are children’s toys and of course, books, for both young and old. Every corner of the store is full of pre-owned stuff just waiting to fi nd a new home or to be upcycled.

Volunteers are the cornerstone of our shops, and although we have a team of dedicated volunteers - there are always positions available - morning and afternoon, customer service, back of house, there is bound to be a volunteer opportunity for you.

Pakeha flocking to learn te reo Maori

Sam Taylor, from Te Awamutu, is Pakeha and fluent in te reo Maori.Whakaahua / Doug Sherring

NA MICHAEL NEILSON

Sam Taylor dreams of a daywhen he can walk the streets ofAotearoa and hear te reo Maoribeing spoken all around him.

The 33 year old is Pakeha andfluent in te reo, and he wants allpeople in Aotearoa to take up thechallenge.

Sam, from Te Awamutu, saidhis desire to learn came fromwanting to rid himself of a “senseof ignorance” and understandmore about our history.

“It is our duty to the culturallandscape of Aotearoa — plus itis fun and good for your brain.”

Sam, a graduate of anadvanced course at Te WanangaO Aotearoa, said it was import-ant those who had done beginnercourses pushed on and incorpor-ated te reo into their everydaylives.

“I always start and finish aconversation with Maori, even ifis just one word,” said Sam.

“If a person speaks some tereo, I drop more into the conver-sation, and if they are fluent, Ionly speak te reo.”

Sam practises karakia, wai-ata, and exposes himself to te reoevery day to maintain his flu-ency.

He seeks out conversations inte reo — even if its chatting withhis Maori-speaking friends onsocial media.

Sam, a session musician andaudio head of department at SAEInstitute in Parnell, has beenincorporating this into his work-place.

“Even a simple kia ora. Itnormalises te reo, and empowersus all.”

He says being a musician has

helped him pick up a secondlanguage, and is now also learn-ing Spanish.

“Me ata whakarongo e tetuatahi. Listening carefullyshould be the first thing”

“It’s also about analysingwhat people are saying andhaving persistence.”

Sam’s te reo journey startedafter he returned home fromworking abroad and felt heneeded to deal with a sense ofignorance.

He re-enrolled at the Univers-ity of Canterbury, and started tereo classes.

“As soon as I started I lovedit.”

He later took up a te reoimmersion programme oversummer, before working for fiveyears at Te Wananga o Aotea-roa’s Mangere campus where hewas able to korero (speak) Maorion a daily basis with co-workers.

“There I learned from some ofAotearoa’s finest academics andte reo Maori experts.”

“Te reo offered a matapihi kite ao Maori — window into theMaori world. There is a wholeother world going on — with somany songs, sayings, jokes, waysof life — that so many people inNew Zealand don’t have any ideaabout.”

The only times he had everfelt uncomfortable speaking tereo had been around otherPakeha.

Once after playing a show heheard an older Pakeha manmake a racist comment aboutMaori.

“I just started speaking to him

in Maori. He looked completelybemused. He tried to say, ‘Oh, Iam just joking’, but I kept speak-ing Maori to him. Eventually heapologised and took it all back. Ihope now he rethinks what he istalking about.”

When Maori discovered hewas Pakeha and could speak tereo, their reactions ranged fromimpressed to emotionallyoverwhelmed.

“For some kuia and kaumatuait has gone full circle. They hadtheir language oppressed, andnow here is a white, blue-eyed

guy speaking Maori.”And Sam’s monolingual fam-

ily in Te Awamutu is supportive.“My family is open and

willing to learn to say thingsright.”

While he encouraged allPakeha to learn te reo, Sam saidit was important not to “re-colonise” the language.

“I need to acknowledge all mykaiako (teachers) over the yearsand their tıpuna, from whom thisprecious gift was passed, tena rakoutou katoa.

“Pakeha need to be humble

and play a supporting role.”He looked forward to when

Pakeha speaking Maori was nor-mal and hopes to teach his ownchildren when he has a family.

“There is a wave of enthusi-asm at the moment, and I wouldlove to see it continue.”

Te reo Maori is experiencing asurge in popularity.

Te Wananga o Aotearoakaiako Netana Matene said morethan 3000 people had alreadyexpressed interest in te reoclasses next year.

“It is cool to see that popular-ity, and the biggest growth for ushere has been non-Maorilearners,” said Netana.

About 70 per cent of theirbeginner learners were non-Maori, he said. “They havebecome ambassadors of te reo.The revitalisation of te reo needsto be a country-wide effort.People are realising that Maori iswhat makes us unique to everyother English-speaking countryin the world.”

A challenge for Pakeha wasoften pronunciation.

“Some Pakeha can strugglewith that, but then absorb thegrammar really quickly. Theclassroom is set up as a safeenvironment though,aturuhanga, where people feelsafe making mistakes.”

“A challenge for all learnerswas keeping it up,” said Netana.

While Kiwis were flocking tothese beginner courses, the per-centage of people who could holda conversation in te reo droppedfrom 4.5 per cent in 2001 to 3.7 in2013. Maori make up 85 per centof those speakers, with only avery small percentage beingPakeha.

Store ‘more than a liquor shop’NA BETHANY ROLSTON

From left, Jeana Sayson, Chara Reti, Sydney Harris, Sam Orasad, Dalton Hargreaves andTony Xia. Whakaahua / Supplied

Te Awamutu’s newestliquor store aims to be “morethan a just a bottle shop”.

Owner Sam Prasad wantsMerchant Liquor to be anexperience.

Sam bought his firstliquor store at age 18 in 2005.Since then he’s helped set upsix liquor stores in Hamiltonand part-owned one in Rag-lan.

The opportunity to takeover Te Awamutu’s LiquorLand came up, and it was ano-brainer for Sam to pur-chase and rebrand the storeas Merchants Liquor. Sam,who studied business at theUniversity of Waikato, hasbig plans for the shop.

He says Merchants aimsto be a “destination” forpeople to visit.

Popular food truck TheChicken Couple is currentlyparked outside the store, andthere are plans for a secondfood truck to join.

“Having wholesomeonsite food helps contributeto responsible drinking,”Sam says.

“It gives people thechance to have a bite to eatbefore starting drinking.”

By the end of the year Samwants to establish social

clubs for wine, craft beer andwhiskey enthusiasts. Theliquor store will be a venuefor tasting and purchaseevents and a chance for com-panies to showcase their pro-ducts.

Sam also wants the storeto “go green”. He’s looking atinstalling solar panels on theroof and using hemp-basedbags instead of plastic.

Merchants also aims to becommunity-oriented andcater generously for 21stbirthday parties, weddingsand other celebrations.

“I understand that being apart of a small town is allabout giving back to thecommunity. We want to helpclubs and businesses withsponsorships and subsidies.Just come in to have a chat

and we’ll see what we cando.”

Merchants has employeda staff of three, and Sam isproud to pay above mini-mum wage. “Our staff arefriendly, local people who areknown and respected in thecommunity.”

Sisters raise a glassthanks to P!nk showNA BETHANY ROLSTON

Two Te Awamutu sistersare buzzing after hitting itoff with P!nk at an Auck-land bar, and then beinggiven tickets — by the popsensation herself — to seeher perform a second time.

They say the incredibleact of kindness was a bless-ing after having lost theirmum and brother to depres-sion.

Chick Bailey andMelissa Parsons thoughtthey’d had the best night oftheir lives seeing the star’sBeautiful Trauma concertwith their husbands MikeBailey and Ben Parson lastWednesday night.

They hardly believedtheir luck when they spiedthe international star atHuami Bar the next after-noon.

“We were walking pastSkyCity Hotel on the

Thursday afternoon and mybrother-in-law said ‘thatlooks like P!nk’s guitarist inthe bar across the road’,”Chick said.

“Me and my sisterlinked arms and stormedinto the pub. We walkedinto the tiny bar and wereso star-struck. There P!nkwas, sitting at the bar withher husband having a dateon her day off.”

“The waitress came andasked what we’d like todrink but we couldn’t con-centrate.

“We were sitting rightbeside her for ages andwere so star-struck.

“P!nk then got up andwent to the toilet. We knewif we didn’t ask for a photowe’d regret it.

“When she came back Ijust lifted up my phone andshe just walked over to usand said ‘I don’t want aphoto’.”

But the sisters didn’tmind and went on to tellP!nk how much theyadored her.

“We would see yourshow every night if wecould,” Melissa told P!nk.

P!nk then offered thesisters four free tickets tosee her perform again.

“She said, ‘What nightdo you want to go and howmany tickets do youwant?’”

P!nk took Chick’s nameand email address.

“When she found out mylast name was Bailey shetold me: “I’ve got a dogcalled Bailey and he’s justgone to heaven. We weremeant to meet you today.”

“We had about threehugs with her — she wasjust amazing.”

The sisters describeP!nk as down to earth.


Te reo should start early — unionTeachers’ union NZEI Te

Riu Roa wants te reo Maorito start in early childhoodeducation.

NZEI Te Riu Roa MatuaTakawaenga Laures Parksaid all children should havethe opportunity to learn tereo Maori. She said havinguniversal provision wouldmake a big difference in the

wellbeing of tamariki Maori.“There is strong public

support for this, and it istime for the Government toact. NZEI Te Riu Roa hasbeen calling for te reo Maorito be a core curriculumsubject for a number ofyears now. ”

However, there wouldneed to be support for

“She told us how herlittle boy Jameson haddone a tantrum all the wayto the bookshop and back— just normal motherhoodstuff.”

Chick and Melissainvited their long-time TeAwamutu friends KerenBaynes and AmyRavenscroft to see P!nkwith them the next night.

They left theirhusbands at home to lookafter the children.

“There was this hugequeue of people on theFriday night and we justbypassed them. We wereon P!nk’s guest list.”

Then at the show theywere seated by P!nk’sfather and step-mum inpremium seats.

“We were so close to thestage and could see every-

thing.”The special sequence of

events couldn’t have beenmore perfect for Chick,whose daughter Willowwas named after P!nk’sdaughter.

“Our amazing mum wasdefinitely watching overus and helped create thesemagical memories.”

Unicol inflict narrow loss

Richard Wilkins, pictured in an earlier game this season, was atower of strength in defence for Te Awamutu against Unicol atJansen Park on Saturday. Whakaahua / Supplied

Te Awamutu’s Waibop Foot-ball Premiership teamperformed admirably to extendthird placed Unicol to 1-0.

The game was played at afrenetic pace in fine weather on ahard surface at Jansen Park.

Unicol looked to rely on theirsophisticated passing game tobreak down the Edmonds JuddTe Awamutu defence.

Despite having less pos-session, Te Awamutu defendedstoutly with Hamon McKay,Jono O’Sullivan, Scotty Voorendand Richard Wilkins coping witheverything Unicol threw atthem.

Keeper Kevin Billot was infine form making several savesthat kept his team in the matchand the scores level 0-0 athalftime.

In the second half the atmo-sphere remained tense as bothteams sought the one goal thatmight be enough to settle theencounter.

Midway through the secondhalf Unicol won possession nearhalfway, sprang into a quickattack, skipped past a couple ofwould-be tackles and crossed theball for Rueben Henderson tocrash home the winning goalfrom close range.

Despite the loss, Te Awamutucoach Joe Gifford was pleasedwith the effort and intensity thathis players applied to the game.

Alan Ball, Campbell Black,Joe Connor, Hadyn Roil andThomas Watts toiled awaybravely in the midfield, whileSteffan Foulkes, as the solestriker, showed glimpses ofbeing a player to look out for inthe future.

Late substitutions WaikatoBall, Thomas Gifford and Joel

Roil injected their fresh legs intothe game and for a while thetravelling supporters dared tobelieve that an equalising goalwas imminent as the Unicoldefence became increasinglynervous.

With five minutes of thematch to play a foul on WaikatoBall by the Unicol keeper in thepenalty area looked to deliverwhat Te Awamutu needed.

However, the referee deter-mined otherwise and waved

away the appeals for a penaltykick.

The man of the match awardwent to Billot for his fine effortsin goal.

Te Awamutu now turn theirfocus to the final game of theseason away to HamiltonWanderers at Porritt Stadium onThursday evening, 7pm kick off.

Nothing but a win by a widemargin will do if Te Awamutuwant to finish better than eighthin the final league standings.

Law reigns supremefor third year on trot

Scott Law won an epic matchplay final 1-up on the 36th holeover a never-say-die DavidSeager at PirongiaGolf Club.

The wincompletes aremarkable hat-trick of strokeplay/match playchampionshipdoubles over thepast three yearsfor Law.

After thepostponement ofthe finals theprevious week-end, the weatherwas a treat onSunday, althoughstrengtheningwinds madeconditions tricky.

Law jumpedout to a 5-up leadin the openingfront nine aftershooting a three-under-par 33.

Both playersthen struggled onthe back nine before wins on the17th and 18th saw Seager cutLaw’s lead to 3-up.

After lunch, Seager continuedto claw himself back into thematch, reducing the deficit toone down after 27 holes.

The back nine continued inthe same vain with Law openingdoors and Seager taking advan-tage. Seager won both the 29thand 30th to take the lead for thefirst time.

The pair traded wins on the31st and 32nd before Law made

birdie on the 33rd to level thescores. Law then made a good2.5m putt on the 34th to keep the

match all square.Pars on the 35thsaw both playersheading down 18all square.

An aggressivedrive by Lawdown 18 left him30m short of thegreen. Seager had100m to the pinbut had to avoidthe tree 20mahead. He pulledthe shot slightlyand it caught thetree, ending thematch. Lawcalmly chippedand putted out fora par to clinch hisvictory.

The intermedi-ate champion isRob Taylor afterhe dominated hismatch againstPhillip Eyre.

After 18 holes,Taylor was comfortable at 5-up.Eyre cut the lead to three after 27holes but couldn’t improve onthat, eventually going down 4/3.

Shield fever hits Kihikihi Kindy

Kihikihi Kindergarten kids got the rare opportunity to have their photo taken with Mooloo and theRanfurly Shield on Tuesday. Below: Four-year-old Ali Watkins guards the reserved parking space forMooloo outside Kihikihi Kindergarten. Whakaahua / Colin Thorsen

By NAOMI PETERSONKihikihi Kindergarten teacher

Mooloo was given a hero’swelcome when he visited Kihi-kihi Kindergarten with the Ran-furly Shield.

Children were captivated byMooloo, eagerly greeting him intheir rugby supporters attire ashe arrived with the shield,accompanied by Waikato RugbyUnion communications and mar-keting manager David Fox onTuesday morning.

High fives and fist pumpswere exchanged before the chil-dren enthusiastically sang theMooloo song and performed theka mate haka.

The children said the bestpart of the morning was seeingMooloo and touching the Ran-furly Shield. Children’s sharedexperiences of participating inlocal Saturday sports have led toincreased interest and involve-ment in ripper rugby games atKihikihi Kindergarten. Everyday rugby games take place inthe playground.

These are preceded by thehaka, and what follows is pureenjoyment and delight from thechildren as they run, rip tags,dodge, kick the ball and scoretries.

The kindergarten teachersresponded to the children’s inter-ests by purchasing rugby goalposts for the ‘field’.

With ample space in the kin-dergarten’s environment encour-aging physical activity andchallenges, tries have beenconverted over the new posts.

The concept ofwhanaungatanga [family con-nection] is as noticeable at the

kindergarten, as cow bells are ata Waikato Rugby Union homegame.

A sense of family connection,a relationship through sharedexperiences is fostered through-out the kindergarten.

Whanau and parent supportand participation is stronglyvalued by teachers at KihikihiKindergarten.

A real sense of a connection, atogetherness, a willingness to bea part of and support, along withfun, excitement, and a hugeinterest in the visiting RanfurlyShield is evident.

There is a history that follows

the shield, and that history hasbeen passed down through thegenerations, to the youngest —the next generation of futureplayers and supporters.

After visiting the kindergar-ten, Mooloo and the Shield wereoff to a Te Kawa farm.

On Wednesday the Shield wastaken for a walk down VictoriaStreet in Hamilton, then paidWaikato Rugby Union’s majorsponsor Gallaghers a visit beforereturning to FMG Stadium Wai-kato for the team captain’s run inpreparation for the Shield chal-lenge from Hawkes Bay tonight,7.35pm kick off.

The NunA priest with a

haunted past (DemianBichir) and a noviceon the threshold ofher final vows (TaissaFarmiga) are sent bythe Vatican to investi-gate the death of ayoung nun in Rom-ania and confront anevil force in the formof a demonic nun.

Together they un-cover the order's un-holy secret.

Risking not onlytheir lives but theirfaith and their very

souls, they confront this hostilenun that first terrorised audiencesin The Conjuring 2.

The Abbey becomes an horrificbattleground between the livingand the damned.

Crazy RichAsians

This is a heart-warming story thatexplores the com-mon shared and hil-arious experiencesof family feelingsand lively modern-day love.

The story followsNew Yorker RachelChu as sheaccompanies herlong-time boyfriend,Nick Young, to hisbest friend's wed-ding in Singapore.

Excited aboutvisiting Asia for thefirst time and nerv-ous about meetingNick's family, Rachelis unprepared tolearn that Nick hasneglected to mention

a few key details about his life. Itturns out that he is not only theson of one of the country's mostnotable and wealthiest families,but also one of its most sought-after bachelors.

Being on Nick's arm puts atarget on Rachel's back, withjealous socialites and worse,Nick's own disapproving mothertaking aim. It soon becomes clear

that while money can't buy love,it can definitely complicatethings.

You can't help falling in lovewith this movie.

An effervescent breath of freshcinematic air, this ridiculouslyentertaining film succeeds as aninstant cultural touchstone and areaffirmation of the joy of roman-tic comedies. Dominic Corry
