A NEW haka to bring together a new rugby team as one was unveiled on Wednesday afternoon. Turanganui-a-Kiwa Under-15s are a combined team of students from Campion College, Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Nga Uri a Maui, Lytton High School, Hawaiiki Hou, Horouta Wananga and Manutuke, and have a haka to call their own. Mataroria Lemon — a father of one of the players and a kapa haka tutor — composed the kupu (words) of the haka to unify the boys and their kaupapa. “It was thinking about the team we have. . . bringing them together with a common cause.” People often thought of the haka as an element of battle but really it was performed to change the state of mind to be a collective. The players came up with actions to the lyrics, which Lemon said was about taking kokoraho (ownership). “All I did was write the words. We hope they perform it in a way that has meaning to them.” The team had sessions to learn the haka and the meaning of it. Mr Lemon incorporated into the haka the line “kei hinga aue, kei mate aue” from the 28th Maori Battalion C Company haka. “They went to war with the mind frame that they would never come home . . . and they battled for us that are here today.” With players coming from a range of schools, the haka was about building LAYING DOWN THE CHALLENGE: Turanganui-a-Kiwa Under-15 rugby team members perform a haka before a match against culture and a different mana within the a Gisborne Boys’ High side.

It rests diagonally against one wall, its ends propped against the floor and another wall. It’s a reminder — neither painful nor comforting — of her life before multiple sclerosis (MS). Jo, 46, was diagnosed with the neurological condition when she was 33 and living in Scotland. Born and raised in Gisborne, Jo travelled to the United Kingdom to join her boyfriend for a working holiday. They broke up and, after two years, Jo was back in New Zealand. She had what she calls “the UK bug” and went back to Britain, ending up in Scotland in a village called Aberdour, on the south coast of Fife. For her, the first sign of MS was fatigue. “I had no energy to do anything,” she said. “It was suffocating. “With this tiredness came a chill, like I was on ice. During that first attack I was in a room with the fire going full blast and still needing a blanket to keep warm. “I was seen pretty quickly by the medical profession.
