Saturday 13 November 2010 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, I feel obliged to respond to accusations made by Ngatangiia’s independent candidate Terepai Maoate and his campaign manager Amoa Amoa on Radio Matariki yesterday morning.

Tim Tepaki backs Tim Arnold
Saturday 13 November 2010 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, We have all watched as Tim Arnold took it upon himself to stand and fight politically for his beliefs despite not being of this land and having the wrong DNA. It has to be said he has Aitutaki nuts and hard to crack. He certainly has the heart of a Cook Islander of […]
Getting tired of Pai
Saturday 13 November 2010 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, I wonder if anyone else is getting really tired of the independent candidate for Ngatangiia, Sir Terepai Maoate, dominating the Cook Islands airwaves, TV and newspapers. It seems like there is not a fair time given for each candidate in every seat – especially on CI Radio. Makes me want to switch to […]
The Queen runs it
Saturday 13 November 2010 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, In answer to the very fair questions asked by June Hosking, if the nation was a school, June, MPs would be board members, not principals. Some explanation is probably helpful for all voters. Part II of the Constitution deals with the ‘school principal’ – the country’s ‘principal’ is ‘the Executive Government of the […]

Don't be afraid when going through a crisis
Friday 12 November 2010 | Published in Church Talk
Out of the story from October 22 we learn three things on how to face an unexpected crisis. 1. Refocus on God’s closeness. When you’re going through a crisis, in order to not be afraid, you stop and you get your eyes off the problem and onto God. Notice v. 23 “Then Jesus got into […]

Our future when?
Friday 12 November 2010 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Reading through the paper in the last few days, one cannot ignore the comments and facts made by the CIP regarding Toagate and the travel warning in Australia about crime in the Cooks because these issues are happening now, not 20 years ago.

Writer offends profession
Friday 12 November 2010 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, How blown away I was after reading the letter from “Class of ’86 Lawyer” on Wednesday, November 10. In disclosing his/her profession as a lawyer, he/she has just highly offended the legal profession.

Dear Editor, It’s good to see that the roads are finally getting some real attention in preparation for the $10 million road sealing project.
