Insight: Golf and Rugby Sevens' Big Olympics Debut
BODY:
Barry Guy and Matt Chatterton explore the benefits of golf and rugby sevens being included in the Rio Olympics.
EXTENDED BODY:
Women's rugby is set to close the gap on its male counterpart, with the Rio Olympics expected to be a major boost to the sport.
In one of the biggest changes to the Olympic programme in the recent past, rugby sevens is one of two new sports that will debut in Rio in August.
Golf is returning to the programme for the first time in more than a century, while rugby sevens will be making its first appearance.
There was great excitement in rugby circles in New Zealand when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) voted sevens into the programme in 2009.
At the time, the New Zealand men's team was dominating the World Series and, while women's sevens was still in its infancy, the Black Ferns were the team to beat in the 15-a-side version of the game.
However, the game has become truly global now and New Zealand is no longer the power it once was.
That will probably help rugby sevens' future in the games with the sport only guaranteed until the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
The IOC wants depth from its sports, and it certainly has that in the men's game. Depth in women's sevens, meanwhile, is improving, with four or five teams that could win the gold medal in Rio.
New Zealand team member Portia Woodman is certainly excited about the future of the women's game.
The 24-year-old said she had been surprised by the amount of interest the team had garnered from young fans.
"We've had a lot of young girls who come up to us and are asking for autographs and photos and are so excited to get so close, so we're inspiring - and that is part of our vision, to inspire the world with the black jersey.
"I think we're doing that and, if we get a good result in Rio, it will help inspire the world some more."
Woodman has the pedigree for top sport. She's a former top netball player; her father, Kawhena, and uncle, Fred, were both All Blacks in the 1980s, while her aunty, Te Aroha Keenan, is a former Silver Fern.
Woodman and teammate Kayla McAlister both made the transition to the sport from netball, having played for the Mystics before deciding to give rugby a go in 2011.
"We went along and we'll have a crack and see how it goes. It's a new programme and you never know," Woodman said.
"We never thought we'd get this far. The Olympics is just around the corner and that dream is just there, you've just got to try and catch it."
Sean Horan has been coach of the national women's sevens side since 2011, when a full-time position for it was created.
The former Bay of Plenty mentor said the women's game in general in New Zealand had benefited from the emergence of sevens.
"It's getting girls into rugby, which is great. You're getting girls wanting to play 15s, wanting to play sevens and I think that's a great thing.
"Girls aged six or eight or 10 can't be a Richie McCaw or a Sonny Bill Williams, but they could be a Sarah Goss or a Portia Woodman, and I think that's inspiring.
"It's part of our vision: not only to go well at the Olympics, but to create a legacy that inspires women to play this game, and I think we're achieving that."
In 2009, the IOC voted 81 in favour and eight against to include sevens. It prompted the IRB president at the time, Bernard Lapasset, to describe it as "a historic moment for our sport and for the global rugby community, who were united in their support".
New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew said it wanted to see more women playing rugby, and was hoping sevens would help.
In 2014, there were close to 20,000 women playing some form of rugby in New Zealand.
In the four years leading up to Rio, women's sevens received $3.7 million from High Performance Sport New Zealand, with New Zealand Rugby adding more than that.
Since the campaign started for Rio, there had been a huge lift in interest from women, including from those currently playing other sports, Tew said.
Without a doubt, he said, the Olympic inclusion had hugely increased the interest in women's rugby.
"The Black Ferns have been remarkably successful but not attracting an enormous amount of interest - but all of a sudden, you have a sevens team with the opportunity to be a professional athlete, and the pinnacle of that is to represent your country at the Olympics, so that's given us an enormous boost."
New Zealand Olympic Committee secretary-general Kereyn Smith said it was quite obvious that women's sport had flourished from its inclusion in the Olympics, and women's rugby was set to do the same.
"Without doubt, being an Olympic sport really changes things generally, but particularly for women - because it's a massive show with incredible television and social media, and those elite women's athletes will be seen by people that have never looked at them before.
"So it will be a major shop window and spotlight on them, and hopefully New Zealand Rugby is able to grasp that opportunity, particularly with young women."
The rugby sevens games will involve 12 men's and 12 women's teams, and will be played over three days in Rio.

Sam Hunt @ 70
BODY:
Sam Hunt shares his birthday with the United States of America. And there will be those who feel that the 70th birthday of New Zealand's best known poet is equally deserving of a public holiday. Sam Hunt sits down with Wallace Chapman and talks about his life and influences.
EXTENDED BODY:
Sam Hunt CNZM, QSM is unique among New Zealand poets in his ability to recite not only his own poems but those of Yeats, Baxter, Alistair Te Ariki Campbell and Dylan Thomas, to name just a few, in pubs from Kaipara to Bottle Creek and hold audiences spell-bound.
His latest book of poems, Salt River Songs, is being launched on July 4th to mark his 70th birthday. Death is a recurring theme but it’s far from a gloomy collection. A poem dedicated to his friend, the late documentary photographer, Glenn Jowitt begins:
Death called by the other day –
No one was home at the time,
A note. “Sorry I missed you’,
Stuck under the front door mat.
Sam Hunt recently sat down with Sunday Morning’s Wallace Chapman and talked about his life and influences and the poems that tumble out of him. He knows more than 1000 poems off by heart – a girlfriend once took it upon herself to count them, and a professor of psychology has dedicated a chapter in a textbook to the poet’s prodigious memory.
Sam recalled that his friend, the poet, James K Baxter died far too young.
“He was only 46. Only a boy… he wasn’t any boy when it came to writing poems. He was a big, big…..Do Kauri trees write poems? He was a big Kauri tree,” Sam says with his trade-mark laugh.
It’s tempting to speculate on what type of tree Sam would be. It would be popular, that’s for sure, and instantly recognisable, as happy in a rural as an urban setting and never far from the sea… a Pohutakawa maybe?
Sam Hunt’s never lived far from the sea. One of his first addresses as a young man was Bottle Creek, Paremata. The late Michael King recalls in his book Being Pakeha Now how he wrote a letter to the Post Office arguing that Bottle Creek was a name with historical pedigree and deserved official recognition. It wasn’t true but the fact that one of New Zealand’s most respected historians was prepared to say it was true says something about Sam Hunt’s charm.
He likes to say his personal “road code” is: “Tell the story. Tell it true – charm it crazy.” And that’s the strap line to his new book: Salt River Songs.
There’s a poetry to Sam’s choice of addresses over the years. From Bottle Creek Sam moved to Battle Hill. He says he graduated from a boatshed to tree hut – his description of his current two-storey house that looks over totara trees to the Kaipara harbour.
And if there’s a theme other than death in Salt River Dreams it’s the Kaipara. His poem Six sestets begins:
1.
A skyful of cloud breaks up,
scatters out to seam
Gives the sun fair go.
My shadow
Resumes itself
I can do with the company
And finishes:
6.
pine for the sea:
the gravel road I’m on,
the next corner
left past the cabbage tree –
and keeping up, my shadow -
is all I need to know
Sam Hunt’s shadow - and a lot more - is known and loved from one end of the country to the other. Happy birthday Sam.

Turning the Tide on Suicide - Part three
BODY:
In Part three of this series, Ezekiel Raui, Rongomaitawhiri Ah-Ching and Mauriora Tawaroa Takiari are three young people who each balance University Study and their work in suicide prevention.
EXTENDED BODY:
In part three of Turning the Tide on Suicide, young people talk about their work in suicide prevention.
A For the Youth, By the Youth approach is how Mauriora Tawaroa Takiari and Rongomaiwhiri Ah-Ching see their work in youth suicide prevention. Both girls attend University and work as Youth Facilitators of Kimiora Trust, they are also involved in the Rangatahi work stream for Waka Hourua of Te Rau Matatini.
“We want to teach them signs and signals of suicide prevention just so they have a little handful of knowledge in their back pocket”
Last year Mauriora and Rongomaitawhiri organised a Youth suicide prevention hui held at Rātana Pa.
Mapihi Raharuhi is the Project leader of Waka Hourua. The programme works alongside Māori and Pacifica Communities.
“The living space is a really important place and that’s the place where Waka Hourua and communities come together to discuss how we move forward, how we respond effectively to this kaupapa of sucide prevention.”
Instead of bridging the gap between the rich and the poor, 18 year old Ezekiel Raui says it needs to be between the parent and the child.
Ezekiel works closely with The Key to Life Charitable Trust motivational speaker, Mike King. It was in the Far North that King first met the straight talking teenager from Nga Puhi and the Cook Islands, King said it was Ezekiel that made him change his view of the world.
As a former student of Taipa College Ezekiel confronted suicide issues in his community by taking a proactive stance, a result that lead to the creation of the peer support programme Tu Kotahi.
Although he has since left school and is now studying at Massey University in Auckland, Ezekiel travels the country talking to and inspiring young people.
He talks about the pitfalls of social media.
“This is a new world in the sense that social media to a lot of us as rangatahi (youth) is almost a reality…and so how many likes we got on Facebook and those things like Instagram and Twitter is validation, it's almost more important to us than having a conversation face to face”
On June 26, Ezekiel won the young achiever of the year award at the Matariki awards hosed by Māori Television and Te Puni Kokiri.
Michael Naera has a keen sense of humour, as one of the key organisers and a Emcee during the suicide prevention conferences, he often has a few funny quips when he talks to his audience. But behind the smile is a personal story, one that Michael has shared of dealing with depression in his twenties.
It was the support of his family that lead to his wellness.
Today, Michael is Project Leader of Kia Piki te Ora, the Suicide Prevention service at Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Pikiao.
Mr Naera and his team organised Turamarama ki te Ora in 2015, the three day conference looked at suicide prevention that starts from conception.
Turamarama Ki Te Ora set down that foundation to address the issue from a wider Māori focus, but some feedback was received about not having enough of a youth presence or voice. This set the wheels in motion to host the World Youth Summit and the World Indigenous Conference held in June this year.
The event was attended by academics, social and health workers and families who had been affected by suicide.
A key milestone was achieved.
“Sir Mason Durie developed the Turamarama Declaration…it is made up of 13 clauses, it involves looking at us personally as indigenous people…and looking at the government’s role. It was put on the table in front of 500 and it was accepted by the floor. So the pathway forward for us now is to take it the United Nations Indigenous Forum.
Michael talks about outcomes of the conference.
