Mothers' darlings
They were the love-children of the GIs; illegitimate kids born to
American soldiers who swept through the Pacific fighting a war,
making friends and finding love.
When the war was over the soldiers went home and their babies
stayed - fatherless like Arthur Beren. His dad was a GI who
helped build the airstrip on Aitutaki. His mother was a beautiful
young Cook Islander. Arthur was brought up believing his father was
dead, while thousands of kilometres away in Flint, Michigan, a
father grieved for his son.
For the next 60 years they would remain separated by circumstances.
This is a story of war, intimacy, broken hearts and in the end,
connection.

WOW
"Step into a world where art and the human form combine, where
dance, music and lighting tell a story of the body as a canvas;
where the lines of fashion and art blur and merge as one." It's the
World of Wearable Arts (WOW).
But this year, for the first time, TV cameras are allowed behind the scenes at this fanciful festival . Sunday are the camera.

No case to answer
We were absorbed by the case - two light bulbs, a light fitting,
nine court appearances, endless hours of investigation and court
time only for the charges to be withdrawn. - no case to answer for
Cornlius Arie Smith Voorkamp, the young Asperger's sufferer painted
as a looter after the Christchurch earthquake. So why did police
persist with the charges for so long and why did they put this
young man through the ordeal? They explain to Sunday.
