Right Tyres. Right Choice.

Legal highs disturb police BY ALECIA ROUSSEAU Palmerston North police are becoming increasingly worried about the impact legal highs are having on the community after witnessing more than 100 people queuing for the products over Easter weekend. Photos of people lining up o u t s i de a l o c a l s y n t h et i c cannabis retailer in the early hours of Saturday and Monday mornings were uploaded to social networking sites and have since made national news. Senior sergeant Brett Calkin said the problem was getting progressively worse. ‘‘It’s sad that so many people were hanging out to get their fix after the shop was only closed for a 24-hour period. Police are seriously concerned about the impact this stuff is having on our community and particularly the most vulnerable people in our community,’’ Mr Calkin said. Over the weekend, police had also attended a number of incidents relating to the use of legal highs. In one callout, Mr Calkin said a man had been using synthetic products and threatened police with two sharp blades. ‘‘Fortunately he was taken into custody without the police officer being injured but this type of incident is becoming increasingly common.’’ A Palmerston North resident who visited Nandos in The Square on Thursday last week told the Guardian he saw three young males consuming synthetic cannabis in a nearby alleyway. ‘‘We got there at around 5.30pm and stayed for around an hour and a half; they were there the entire time. These boys

would have been maybe 15 or so; they smoked it through a bong and one by one passed out. It was like a dominoes effect but then they got up, wiped the drool and started all over.’’ He asked not to be named and said he was afraid to approach the young men as he was unsure what their response would be. Five councils in New Zealand

h a v e i m p l e me n t e d L o c a l Approved Products Policies and 22 more are working through draft proposals. PNCC’s Community Development Committee was due to c o n s i de r the report recommending the adoption of an LAPP on April 14 but this has been put on hold while it seeks legal advice.

Associate Minister of Health Peter Dunne said the number of o u t l e ts se l l i n g s y n t h et i c cannabis had reduced since the introduction of the Psychoactive Substances Act last year, adding only the first part of the bill has been implemented. In 2015, manufacturers will need to prove their products are ‘‘low harm’’ before they can be sold.

YOUR VIEWS

PET OF THE WEEK

Plastic hypocrisy

How dare the council hold that award up when they have just announced they will no longer recycle any plastic bags! I’m not sure if anyone from the PNCC has ever tried to count the number of products that come in plastic bags at the super markets, it has to be at least 90 per cent of everything sold and then there are all the other retailers. PNCC have lost the plot, if their contractors won’t provide the services they are paid to provide then sack them and re-tender the job. AL Palmerston North

Waste of rates

Far from the mayors assertion that these sculptures are an attractive acquisition for our city, they are indeed mute testament to a mindless waste of rate payers money. Try telling the considerable amount of people who are struggling to pay their excessive rates that these monstrosities do a damn thing for them no wonder the rest of the country thinks we are a joke. The arrogance of this mayor hell bent on a ‘up yours’ philosophy to whoever disagrees with him is completely at odds with his

concern to pruning the budget. What is especially sad is that the new crop of councillors who promised so much have failed us miserably. Some day in the future we may have a local media reporter who has the courage to truly hold the councillors to account asking the tough questions. Councils are considering bringing in extra taxes to lump on ratepayers but they can afford to show such a inept mentality in wasting hard earned money like this for heavens sake start showing the ratepayers some intelligence otherwise get out. JOE RUSH Palmerston North

Easter holidays

I wish to hit back at critics of New Zealand’s modest Easter trading restrictions. I believe that some things are more important than going to the shopping mall, and for just three and a half days each year New Zealander’s put community and family time before commerce, as the nation’s 270,000 strong retail workforce have guaranteed time off. Our shopping laws are already among the most deregulated in the world and surely there is no reason to make that situation worse. New Zealanders can shop

on 361 and a half of 365 days a year and on 51 of 52 Sundays of the year. Easter is one of the few guaranteed times that retail workers can have off. Despite suggestions this issue is simply about choice and that shops aren’t being forced to open, this is not a real choice in practice. Shops in large malls are required to open at all times as part of the mall owners’ lease arrangements and if their store opens, pressure will come on retail staff to work. Retail workers work long hours for low pay already and have precious little time with their families. Opening shops on Good Friday or Easter Sunday would make the situation even worse but for what purpose? The rest of us have plenty of opportunities to go shopping on nearly every other day of the year. These days off are important ones to retail workers, regardless of their personal faith views. For some retail workers, Easter is an important time to take part in religious observance. For others, it’s a time to be a part of family and community activities. For every retail worker though, I believe it’s precious time off to spend with people close to them. DION MARTIN Palmerston North

Kidnap Kiwi vs terror king By KURT BAYER

FACING UP: Dr Mary Quin will face those accused of her 1998 kidnapping. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

GDN240414quin

CHARGED: Abu Hamza al-Masri.

A Palmerston North born woman caught in a terrifying kidnapping ordeal two decades ago will come face-to-face with the radical Islamic cleric standing trial in New York on global terrorism charges this week. Mary Quin, 59, was holidaying in Yemen in 1998 when her small tour group was taken hostage by armed and masked militants. Hours later, a firefight broke out between the terrorists and Yemeni government troops in which four of the 16 hostages were killed. Dr Quin was able to escape, and later documented her harrowing ordeal in a book, Kidnapped in Yemen. Her research, which included speaking with diplomats, FBI agents and a former Prime Minister of the Arabian state, led her to the man she believed was behind the attack: Egyptian-born cleric Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, also known as Abu Hamza al-Masri. The hook-handed, one-eyed imam was jailed in Britain for inciting murder and racial hatred before being extradited to the United States in 2012 to stand trial on 11 terrorism charges. Dr Quin is seen as the star prosecution witness. A tape-recording of a bold encounter she had with Abu Hamza at his Finsbury Park mosque in north London will be played to the jury. The mosque attracted hundreds of young Muslims, including 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui and convicted terrorist ‘‘shoe bomber’’ Richard Reid. Abu Hamza has called the 9/11 attacks ‘‘a towering day in history’’ and described Osama bin Laden as a hero over his role in the Yemen desert kidnapping. The meeting came after Dr Quin — who was last year appointed chief executive of the Government’s research

and development body Callaghan Innovation — flew to London to challenge him. After seeing the highprofile mullah arrive at his mosque, she approached him and he agreed to a 15-minute chat with her that would last an hour, the Sunday People newspaper reports. ‘‘I am surprised that you would have come here,’’ Abu Hamza told her. Dr Quin asked his permission to record their conversation and was surprised when he agreed. On tape, he admitted to providing his associate Abu Hassan, who led the hostage group, with a satellite phone and to being in contact with him during the ambush. Abu Hamza said the plan was to exchange the tourists for terror suspects, including his own son and stepson, the Sunday People reports. The hostage-takers were instructed to keep the innocent travellers safe and alive, and Abu Hamza regretted that it ended in bloodshed. ‘‘We never thought it would be that bad,’’ he said. At the end of the meeting, Abu Hamza gave Dr Quin his cellphone number if she had any more questions. Abu Hamza, 56, denies conspiring to support Al-Qaeda before and after the September 11, 2011, terror attacks. Prosecutors allege he tried to start a terrorist training camp in Oregon a year after Dr Quin’s kidnapping. Dr Quin will take the stand this week with the trial scheduled to last a month. She declined to comment before she took the stand. She wouldn’t say

whether she is in New York to give evidence in person, or whether she’ll be appearing via audio visual link. ‘‘I’m not going to be making any comment on the trial, certainly not before it’s over.’’ A former senior executive with Xerox and Kodak, Dr Quin was appointed to lead Callaghan Innovation last year, and moved to Wellington for the role.

Pam says: Best thing I have ever done. My children say “It’s been a great comfort to us as family members to know how safe and reassured mum has felt having the back up of the emergency button.”

Leading edge app launched features will be popular. ‘‘It’s very, very simple and you can listen to worldwide radio stations. It’s free and it uses the same amount of data as checking Facebook. It’s leading edge.’’ Users choose an artist or music genre they like and iHeart matches them with similar artists which the user can then rate. The app uses this information to narrow down what music to play for the user. Alternatively, the user can listen to a particular radio station, including many from overseas.

Joyce says: “I would not have been able to afford the quality of home and lifestyle had I not moved into the Village.”

Another resident says: “A great advantage is being able to go away, knowing your home is secure with willing neighbours who water your garden and empty the mailbox.”

‘‘New cars are coming with smartphone docks now so with this you can just plug your phone in and listen to whatever you want. It’s much better than typical radio reception too,’’ Mr Gomez said. ‘‘I drove right down the South Island and there were only a couple of dropouts and that was only in areas where there was no cellphone reception anyway.’’ The app has already had more than 170,000 downloads since its nationwide launch at the end of last year.

Hilda says: “It took me a long time to make a decision to move but I am certainly pleased I did.”

Ngaire says: “I love the ambience of MiLife, Kelvin Grove and the friendliness of the other residents. There are activities both within the complex and outside, (mainly generated by the residents), I love my lawns being mowed and help with my garden if and when necessary. I found management is always helpful and caring.”

MAKING A LIVING: The days of leaving a hat on the ground are slowly passing with reports of beggars becoming more assertive on the rise. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Beggars continue to bug Broadway shoppers By ALECIA ROUSSEAU Beggars along Broadway Avenue are frustrating shoppers with their techniques after further reports of aggressive behaviour. One man, who asked not to be named, said he was approached as soon as he opened his car door. ‘‘I was about to get out and he stood over me asking for money — he knew I was going to the meter so followed me there and waited. I couldn’t really say no.’’ Senior sergeant Brett Calkin said police were regularly called to the CBD to deal with issues surrounding beggars but pointed out some members of the public were not helping. ‘‘Police are aware that there are still lots of people in the community who encourage the practice of public begging by giving money to beggars. If everyone says ‘No’ — the beggars won’t make any money and they will find a more productive way to spend their day.’’ He could not give exact figures as to

the amount of police time spent dealing with beggars as it ‘‘is not a criminal offence in this country’’. Police were still working with Palmerston North City Council to find long-term solutions, he added. ‘‘The public need to remember that begging is a problem in almost every country in the Western world. It’s not an easy problem to solve and there is no ‘quick fix’. ‘‘We know this because of the experience of other countries. The Safety Advisory Board have extensively researched potential solutions and determined that communications campaigns such as the ‘Give Wisely’ campaign are the most effective long term solution.’’ Overwhelming research states that beggars will often spend their money on drugs and alcohol, with many suffering from mental illness. Statistics also show that there are some genuine cases, with an increase in begging being linked to the widening gap between rich and poor.

MEN’S HEALTH

Why men are allergic to doctors? with MIKE BURKE I know of many blokes who shy away from an annual medical checkup. Yet when it comes to our prized possession, the four wheels in the garage, men go to great lengths to ensure the prized toy is in prime condition no matter at what cost. To be road worthy it has to pass an examination from the VINZ doctors. As I wrote in a previous column, having had a wakeup call from my Oncologist in 1996 I had to be very proactive about my health. Taking responsibility for my allround welfare was important as I had been a single parent to three girls since 1987. Us blokes have to take responsibility for our longevity where possible, for our partner, children and those who care about us guys. So what stops us from fronting up to our GP? I use the not soglamorous mnemonic F.A.R.T.A.: F: The first stage of the

psychological build-up to a medical exam is what is called the ‘Fantasy’ stage. This describes what we go through while waiting for the day — ‘‘no there’s nothing wrong, it’s all in my head, the doc might find something how am I going to handle it?’’ And it goes on. A: ‘Anxious’ stage. The fantasies start to wane, he experiences short bursts of anxiety remembering his medical is due soon, and blood pressure is elevated. R: ‘Resistant’ stage. This is when he comes to terms with his anxieties, he gets mad — there’s nothing wrong with me. This stage is made worse if he

finds other blokes of a similar age in need of a medical and they get together to vent their pent up anger, over a couple of pints. T: The ‘Trembles’ stage. This when vague but troubling physical symptoms like constipation, flatulence and tremors occur. A: Finally the ‘Acceptance’ stage. Sadness creeps in when he realises that angry curses won’t help. Like a lamb to the slaughter, he slowly drags himself up the long path to the medical centre. He’s convinced it’s full of sadists who’ll take pleasure in telling him his blood pressure is up and he waits for a furious nurse to call his name as she eyeballs him in contempt.

ALL SMILES: Wildbase director Brett Gartrell (left) welcomes the donation by Craig Shepherd for the Massey wildlife hospital. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Boost for Massey wildlife hospital By DALE WICKEN A donation of $25,000 to Massey University’s Wildbase hospital has been made by a Wellington businessman. Craig Shepherd has had an eight-year association with Wildbase and is well versed in the work the hospital does, having completed an avian first aid and oiled wildlife responders course through it. He was also involved with the Wildbase team which cared for animals affected by the 2011 Rena oil spill in Tauranga. Mr Shepherd said it was this first-hand experience that made him donate. ‘‘Having been involved I just thought I’ve got to put some money into this wonderful facility. Their patient workload has increased tenfold and they’re involved in leading research as well.’’ The hospital operates out of three small rooms within the veterinary teaching

hospital at Massey University but fundraising efforts are being made towards creating a purpose-built facility. ‘‘We urgently need more donations like Craig’s to enable us to continue providing high quality medical and surgical care to New Zealand’s threatened wildlife,’’ Wildbase director Brett Gartrell said. The hospital cares exclusively for native wildlife and sees more than 300 cases a year. The facility is also involved in research. ‘‘One of the most important things we do is try to look beyond the individual patient to the threats facing the population or the ecosystem that lies behind them. This is how we focus our research into wildlife health issues and in this way we have made some important contributions to New Zealand conservation,’’ Mr Gartrell said. ■ To find out more about Wildbase, visit wildbase.massey.ac.nz or www.facebook.com/ masseywildbase.

Stairclimb drill goes public By DALE WICKEN If you were in Downtown on Saturday, you may have noticed an unusual threesome riding the escalators. Feilding volunteer firefighters Caleb Gardner, Jono Bunn and Daniel Pinfold took over the descending escalator in their full firefighting kit — but they weren’t going down. Gardner and Bunn were going up the never-ending staircase as practice for the upcoming Skytower Stairclimb Challenge on May 17, and Pinfold was playing a supporting role. Gardner and Bunn will be competing in the 1103-step Stairclimb Challenge and must raise $1500 each which they found the public to be ‘‘very supportive’’ of on Saturday. ‘‘Because it’s the 10th anniversary of the climb they’re wanting to raise $1 million for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand so each firefighter competing has to raise at least $1500,’’ Gardner said. The trio took turns riding the escalator in 10-minute bursts and by the end of each one, said they were ‘‘completely stuffed’’. They each wore 25 kilograms of equipment. When Pinfold took his kit off at the end, the shirt he was wearing

NEVERENDING: Feilding firefighters Caleb Gardner, Jono Bunn and Daniel Pinfold took their stairclimb practice to the public in Downtown on Saturday. underneath was soaked through. ‘‘Yeah, it gets incredibly hot in these kits,’’ he said. ‘‘I thought they’d need a hand with it so they’d get more of a break doing it.’’ Bunn and Gardner are competing for the first time this year and have

been training in the FMG building for months. Other fundraising efforts have included an online auction where their services were purchased. ■ To follow their progress and donate, visit www.fvfb.org.nz.

Educating parents of the need to have proper child restraints in their car was the purpose of two controlled stops outside Memorial Park and The Warehouse last week. Run by Horizons Regional Council and led by the New Zealand Police, the child restraint checkpoints are a way of stopping motorists carrying children and checking if they are aware of what requirements are in place. HRC road safety coordinator Desley Monks said Plunket car seat technicians carried out inspections, advising parents of the correct and safest way to have a car seat installed. Advice and support to parents who are having financial problems purchasing appropriate seats was also on-hand. ‘‘I provide advice regarding the recommendation that all children should travel in a car restraint until they’re

148cm tall. This advice is supported by statistics which show children under 148cm, who are involved in car crashes, sustained major and often fatal injuries due to their lack of physical strength and development,’’ Ms Monks said. While most parents and caregivers do understand the importance of correct child restraints, there were still too many travelling with restraints incorrectly installed or with seats that have expired, she added. ‘‘When a car seat is manufactured, it’s given an expiry date which tells the user that if it is used regularly it will become weak and less safe after that date. The two biggest issues we are encountering at check points is that people do not realise that a car seat has an expiry date and many seats are not installed correctly.’’ ■ For information on how to restrain your child safely, please visit www.nzta.govt.nz/ childrestraints.

MANFEILD MATTERS with HEATHER VERRY Manfeild Park chief executive This is the time of the year for big events at Manfeild. Our venue became a tent city over Easter as we again hosted the Central Region Baptist Youth Ministries Easter Camp. This involved more than 1300 teenagers aged from 13 to 18 plus 140 volunteers, coming here from throughout the lower half of the North Island. The majority were with us from Thursday through to Monday, though the facility began to transform from the morning of April 16. The programme lays on plenty of fun activities including a talent quest, lots of sport, a top team competition pitching youth groups against each other, paintball and concerts every night but there’s a serious side too. The ‘‘Love Speaks’’ theme this year asked attendees to examine social justice in society. Speakers included a social justice advocate from Canada, a truly international flavour for this yearly event. With a wet Easter, the stadium is a real bonus for such a large camp. We’re also looking forward to hosting Ag Innovation, the May 10-13 Beef and Lamb New Zealand beef breeding exposition now well-established at our venue. This is a key focal point for beef breeders who come from throughout the country and beyond to talk about their industry and also enjoy keynote speakers and specialist presentations. On top of this, there’s also the big beef sales where prime animals fetch impressive prices. This event has also been long known for its famous Steak of Origin, the national search for the most tender and tasty sirloin. This year there’ll be a second delicious aroma in the air with the new concept of a National Barbecue Competition in which teams of two to four prepare prescribed slow-cooked dishes that require the utmost patience and skill. The concept of a serious but fun barbecue is unashamedly adopted straight from America where competition cooking has evolved into a serious specialist event. The Heartland Beef event sticks to Stateside convention in eschewing precooked small goods, gas cylinders and offthe-shelf condiments. Instead, the focus is wholly on back-tobasics goodness preparing lamb and beef

rib, and lamb shoulder and whole beef brisket roast dishes that will be assessed for appearance, tenderness and most of all, taste. The outdoor cookers are a special

issue; only cooking by charcoal, wood, or wood pellets is allowed so no electrics or gas. While it’s cooking against the clock this is emphatically a slow-burn event reminding us that good things take time. Eighteen hours are set aside starting on May 10 and finishing the next day. The ribs are expected to be a five-hour turnout while the large cuts are expected to take 13 hours. The event has been launched to educate and raise awareness about low and slow cooking methods on the barbecue, raising awareness that outdoor cooking doesn’t have to be all sizzle and fry. It’s New Zealand’s first ever Pit Master

NOW OPEN Net Curtains

barbecue competition and first prize is a barbecue from Yoder Smoker, the specialist American barbecue maker whose distributor is backing the event. The grand prize, a Smoker Cheyenne 16 inch, is valued at $3100. The public is also invited to attend pittype barbecue master classes that will be held over the weekend in our stadium. As the master barbecue chef in our household, my husband has already been booked in. ■ Don’t forget to keep up with the latest news by checking out the Manfeild website, www.manfeild.co.nz or visit our Facebook page.

Battle cements Anzac bond By Dave Williams

IGGERS, Maoriland soldiers, NZers or Moalanders. At the start of World War I, New Zealanders were unlikely to want to describe themselves alongside Australians. The natural coining of the Anzac name — down from the acronym for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp — is believed to have been done by a staff sergeant who made a rubber stamp to frank incoming mail. Field-Marshal William Birdwood was first to adopt it, when he took command of the colonial forces in Egypt in 1914. But relations before the war weren’t that close and Australia was tainted by being a convict colony, says Massey University historian Glyn Harper. The New Zealanders and Australians were put together because of administrative convenience. They came across on the same ships and it was easy to throw them together. But the New Zealanders initially called themselves a variety of names: diggers, Maoriland soldiers, NZers, Moalanders, before the Anzac moniker took hold. ‘‘There was a distinct feeling in New Zealand that New Zealanders would be better off not being too closely associated with Australians, that they were better Britons than anybody else,’’ Harper says. ‘‘That continued into Egypt, where the Australians and New Zealanders were training. They didn’t like each [other] at the beginning because the New Zealanders saw the Australians as being loud, aggressive and always eager to drink, fight and gamble.’’ And the Australians thought the New Zealanders were too serious about themselves and their role. The antipathy is illustrated by the ‘‘Battle of the Wassir’’, where an estimated 2500 New Zealand and Australian troops

Signal companies’ dugouts (4th Australasian Infantry Brigade Headquarters) on the side of Rest Gully, where the Brigade rested after the first month’s terrible fighting. These troops held the apex of the position at the head of Monash Gully, Pope’s Hill, and Quinn’s and Courtney’s Posts. NZ HERALD ARCHIVE

rioted in Cairo’s Haret Al Wassir red-light district. Many of those involved were drunk. The houses of prostitutes were ransacked and their furniture thrown into the streets and set alight. There was an inquiry where ‘‘both sides blamed each other with glee’’, Harper says, ‘‘which indicated that Anzac solidarity was non-existent at that stage. It came later.’’ A large combined British and French force had landed at the southern end of Turkey’s Gallipoli peninsula, and on April 25, 1915, the Australians and New Zealanders landed at the spot that was to become Anzac Cove. They had a secondary task in the Gallipoli landings but when the fighting began, the two nations were a revelation to each other, Harper says. ‘‘The New Zealanders were almost in awe of their fighting quality as soldiers, and it’s reciprocated . . . there’s no getting around that it was a watershed in the relationship between Australia and New Zealand.’’ The Anzac legend may have been born in Gallipoli in 1915 but the seeds were sown in the Boer War more than a decade earlier. At the turn of the century, New Zealand sent more than

6500 men to South Africa to fight for the British in South Africa. Just 71 were killed in action or died of wounds, and another 159 died in accidents or from disease. Historian Chris Pugsley says that following Australian and New Zealand efforts in the Boer War, empire bosses were very conscious of their military ‘‘talent’’ but it wasn’t organised. It wasn’t overt, but when World War I broke out Britain was able to call upon a ready pool of men from the colonies. In 1914, New Zealand had a population of just over one million. A remarkable number volunteered to serve: 120,000 enlisted at home and at least 3370 served for Australian or Imperial forces. Overall, the Allies lost 33,532 men at Gallipoli, of whom 2721 were New Zealanders and 8141 Australians. It was a brutal introduction to the new ‘‘industrial’’ war machine for the newly coined Anzacs, which had little effect on the course of the war. However, Pugsley says it was much bigger for New Zealand. ‘‘It was a discovery of ourselves as a nation simply by comparing ourselves with the Australians, who we found while we had things in common with — AAP we were different.’’

VETERANS CARED FOR & WARMLY WELCOMED

Tes timonials

“In the last few years I have experienced extreme pain in my back, lower back, hips, legs and feet to the ex-tent that I was unable to get out of bed, let alone walk anywhere without severe pain. I am a 75-year-old veteran who has had massage therapy in Australia, Singapore, Malaya, USA and at least a dozen places throughout NZ, none of which have compared with the last few months of massage with OM Massage Therapy. I am now walking a distance of 40 minutes each day and I’m improving as I continue with my massage therapists Ruy and Valter. As far as I am concerned, they have improved my mobility 100%.”

Harry Waldron Palmerston North

OM Massage Therapy As many veterans will know, thousands of hours spent carrying 90 pound packs into a jungle can have its effects. Harry Waldron, 79, knows all about this after spending more than 20 years in the army. “I served in the Malayan Emergency from 1959 until 1961. We would walk thousands of clicks (1000 meters) – that’s what it was called in those days – carrying ammunition, food, extra supplies and weapons,” explained Harry. “This certainly took a toll on my knees, back and ankles.” Harry said he eventually lived in constant pain and began relying on walking stick. “That was until I met the guys at OM Massage. I’ve been massaged all around the world but never, have I ever, received a massage like these guys give.” Ruy and his son Valter have been providing massage therapy to hundreds of people across the region since 2006. Originally from Brazil, this father and son are serious about what they can do to help veterans. “They deserve to be looked after; they were the ones who put themselves on the line,” said Ruy. “Too many of them are living in pain and don’t realize they are entitled to have their sessions paid for by Veterans’ Affairs.” Harry agreed, saying he only stumbled upon Ruy and Val after a previous boss referred him on. “My back was fused and I was ﬁnding it hard to bend over. I need to come because I am in pain and these guys help me, a lot.”

OM MASSAGE THERAPY WILL

Harry said he was so pleased with the results that he decided to let other veterans with OM Massage you don’t have to live in constant agony. “He referred one man who could not bend his knee but after just a few visits his leg is much better,” said Ruy “We don’t claim to cure these guys because their injuries are from a long time ago but we can help them have a better quality of life.” “I also sent another mate to Ruy and Val. His wife keeps calling me, thanking me for what these guys have done for her husband,” laughed Harry. “He was in pain all the time, a bit like me and he’s doing much better now.” OM Massage comes highly recommended by doctors and physicians and has just celebrated their 1700th customer. Their luxurious building is spectacularly decorated and you won’t ﬁnd a more comfortable, inviting facility. Often referred to as massage therapists for the rich and famous, Ruy and Val pride themselves on offering a truly unique experience. OM Massage even offers a ‘pick and up drop off’ service so there’s no need to worry about transport. To book an appointment with Ruy or Val today, give them a call on (06) 353 0607.

he won New Zealand junior and senior swimming titles — feats that helped him win a Distinguished Service Order with the Royal Navy for swimming ashore and setting flares at Bulair on April 24, 1915 to try to divert Turkish attention away from the main landing. He later added two bars to his DSO, won a VC at the Somme, commanded New Zealand troops in WWII and became Governor-General.

Commander of the Wellington Battalion, he fought his superiors on behalf of his men as fiercely as he fought the Turks; killed when

PRIVATE DICK HENDERSON When Australian medic Private John Simpson Kirkpatrick was killed by a Turkish sniper, Henderson took over, evacuating the wounded by donkey and it is believed it is a painting of him, based on a soldier’s photo, that formed part of an Anzac legend, though the painting was called Simpson and his Donkey.

Restless calm before the storm By Tim Clarke

HEY arrived unannounced. Thousands of troops from across Australia and New Zealand, primed for war. Gathered together aboard dozens of warships, laden with horses, typewriters, ambulances, provisions and tonnes of weapons, they sailed into the King George Sound, on Western Australia’s south coast. And for the next week, the town of Albany — population 4000 — became the last Australian home many of these young, fearless men would ever know. It was late October, 1914, and the Australian Imperial Force and the New Zealand Expeditionary Force — the Anzacs — had been deployed to Europe. Just days earlier, it had been resolved they would cross the Indian Ocean on board nearly 40 ships, but they needed somewhere to gather. Albany is the oldest permanently settled town in Western Australia, pre-dating Perth and Fremantle by two years, when in 1826 it was colonised as a military outpost as part of Australia’s resistance to French ambitions. The 110sq km sound is sheltered on all sides from winds and heavy seas — and so, was big enough, deep enough and calm enough to house the biggest fleet the Commonwealth had ever assembled. And so they came. ‘‘Here were gathered innumerable vessels of every line trading in the southern oceans. Not painted uniformly grey like our ships, but taken in all their glory of greens, blues and yellows, they rode on the calm water of King George’s Sound, packed with the adventurous spirits of the First Australian Division,’’ wrote Major Fred Waite, author of The New Zealanders at Gallipoli. The equally sheltered, secluded townsfolk of Albany had never seen anything like it. ‘‘It was one of those things that snuck up on the people of Albany, and they did not know it was happening because of

military censorship,’’ recounts Malcolm Traill, public programmes officer at the WA Museum in Albany. ‘‘They woke up one morning in late October to see that ships had begun to arrive in our waters . . . and the war had started.’’ The numbers of troops were huge. Thirty six ships gathered — 26 from Australia, 10 from New Zealand — to be joined later by two sailing from Fremantle. An escort convoy of six warships and one Japanese cruiser would protect the precious cargo — 20,000 soldiers, 2000 sailors and 7000 horses. Behind the fleet command vessel Orvieto would sail in the Hymettus, the Geelong, the Pera, the Omrah, the Clan Maccorquodale, the Medic, the Argyllshire, the Shropshire, and dozens of others. And for days, as the Albany townsfolk watched from the land, the ships and the men sat and waited in the harbour, while coal and fresh water were replenished. ‘‘They were bored, sick of training and waiting for decisions; they were told when they signed up their Empire needed them and they were very

British, French, Indian and Anzac (Australian and New Zealand) troops were deployed to take pressure off the Russians.

keen to go and do their bit,’’ Traill says. ‘‘But they had little idea of

what they were in for in the weeks, months and years ahead.’’

To help expend the nervous energy and relieve the boredom, troops were ferried ashore daily to exercise, to drill and march. Their impending sacrifice was embraced. ‘‘One of the breweries set up a stall to help refuel the marching men, and a couple of men from the brewery took a keg down and encouraged the men to get a top up to send them on their way,’’ Traill says. ‘‘And the townsfolk presented the troops with sprigs of wattle, which some placed in the Slouch Hats and that was a memory of Albany, and Australia, they would take away with them.’’ Then just as quietly as they arrived, in the early hours of November 1, the troops left, headed for Egypt, the Dardanelles and Gallipoli. Steaming out under the gaze of Mount Clarence, one by one the ships passed Breaksea Island and its lighthouse, occupied by its keeper Mr Howe and his teenage daughter Fay. And one by one, she signalled to the departing fleet in morse code, becoming for many young soldiers, the last human contact they would ever have with Australia. Weeks later, after a second convoy had also departed and Albany was returning to normality, postcards began arriving from the Middle East addressed to ‘‘The little girl on Breaksea Island’’, from the men who had hung on to that final memory of home. This year, 100 years on from the departure of the fleet, the memory of those men and what they faced will be honoured. Troops will march on Albany’s streets, as they did in 1914. Ships will gather in the sound, as they did in the days before battle. And on November 1, the day of the centenary of the first convoy’s departure, the National Anzac Centre will open, perched overlooking the waters from where the troops departed. ‘‘Albany has a special place in Australia’s history. And, hopefully, we learned our lesson, sending thousands of troops to war in one convoy knowing they would not return,’’ Traill says.

The Annual Anzac Day Service Held In Forest Road

(Off Parewanui Road, Bulls) At 9.00am.

HIS is the only service in the world that we know of; that is specifically held in respect of the horses and people who served New Zealand during World War One. Only four horses returned to New Zealand after World War One, returning to Kings Wharf, Wellington on Saturday 20Th July 1920 on board SS Westmeath; ex Liverpool 19- 4-1920. The horses that returned were: Colonel Charles Guy Powles Bess- Died 29-10-1934, Forest Road Bulls, brain haemorrhage. General Andrew Hamilton Russell- Dolly - buried at Tuanui, Hawkes Bay. Captain Richard Erroll Wardell Riddiford – Beauty - died at Westella, Feilding 1924 of rheumatism. Colonel George Augustus King – Nigger - died at Tuanui, Hawkes Bay 1924 of rheumatism. This year marks the centennial of the start of World War One and there are many events being held around the country to celebrate the anniversary. The service for Bess is registered as one of these specific 1914-2014 centennial events. Colonel Charles Guy Powles (father of New Zealand's first ombudsman, Sir Guy Powles) was the master of Bess and when he was the superintendent of Flock House 1930-1935, he would ride Bess on a daily farm inspection tour. During a daily farm ride on 29-10-1934, Bess suffered a

sudden brain haemorrhage, lay down and passed away very quickly. Colonel Powles buried her where she lay and had a memorial cairn erected as a mark of respect for a truly remarkable horse.

Bess was domiciled on the Marshall Properties at Motu Koai and Tututotara in the Rangitikei from 1922-1930 and while there bred four foals three to a thoroughbred racing stallion and one foal to a welsh pony This year, after some years living overseas, Colonel Powles grandson Michael will be attending the service and it is hoped that with a recent arrival in the family, there may be ﬁve generations of the Powles family present at the service. Another Grandchild, Felicity Morrin of Tauranga ill also be attending - we have a photograph of Felicity aged 11 months, sitting on Bess's back, with her mother Rachael standing alongside them both. Also coming along to the service is the Granddaughter of Colonel Charles Augustus King -Commander of the Canterbury Mounted Riﬂes

and previously Commander of the Maori pioneer battalion (killed at Passchendaele 12-10-1917 by friendly artillery fire). Nan Simcox of Otaki (who turned 100 in late December 2013) is Colonel Kings daughter and her daughter Patti will be representing the King family on the day. Many of those that attend the annual ANZAC Day service actually descend from The Mounted Riflemen and there are many stories to be told about their ancestors and what they went through in service of their country. This year a very special guest is attending from Auckland Colonel Powle car, a 1928 Sunbeam Talbot. The car was found in a wrecker’s yard in Kaikohe by the Winterbottom family of Tauranga. They set about restoring the car to its former glory, not knowing anything about who any of the former owners of the vehicle were. When the door linings were removed during the initial strip down, a bundle of love letters were found and these identified the car as having belonged to Colonel Powles. Marton man Warren Jansen, who takes the service on ANZAC Day and is one of the originators of the service; worked for Colonel Powles on the farm at Te Horo. He drove Colonel Powles to the Te Horo railway station in this car when the Colonel was going to visit his daughter Rachael in Wellington hospital. Unfortunately the Colonel

ANZACS’

died that weekend from a heart attack, for which he had been admitted to Wellington hospital and was in the bed next to his daughter in the same ward when he passed away. The commanding officer of the Queen Alexandra mounted rifles (Lt.Colonel Sholto Stephens) now based at Linton Army Camp will be attending the service for the first time and it is hoped that a permanent connection

claim direct descent from the original mounted riflemen. The unit will be celebrating their 150th anniversary in September, at The Linton Army Camp. In conjunction with the ANZAC Day service, the friends of Bess will be holding a three day trek based at a woolshed in Forest Road and riders are registering from all around the North Island. Following the service the friends of Bess will be holding a morning tea for all attending the service, at the woolshed. The guest speaker will be Gavin Walsh, former British Cavalry officer and blacksmith, who was recently elected as a Kapiti Coast district councillor.

Rising power costs spur wood fire demand Increasing power costs leading into winter are driving homeowners to investigate more reliable, cost effective ways to heat their homes. With around 35 per cent of the energy used in an average New Zealand household being used for heating, it makes good sense and dollars to do so. According to one of the country’s largest wood fire manufacturers, Metro Fires, rising electricity and gas prices are forcing increasing numbers of ‘‘value conscious’’ Kiwis to go back to the heating efficiency and reliability of a wood fire. Managing director Darin Butler said with power price increases of up to 7 per cent in some regions, keeping homes warm, dry and healthy can be an expensive challenge and is near impossible for some families. ‘‘Ideally the temperature in our homes during winter should be between 18C and 22C and not drop below 16C for bedrooms. For children and the elderly the temperature should be a minimum of 20C. By choosing to heat your home with a wood fire, you have protection against the elements and the self-sufficiency to cook and heat your water if the power goes out. ‘‘There’s always an increase in electricity charges leading into winter so homeowners like the idea of not having to rely on electricity to keep their families warm, and are taking back control of their home heating costs.

‘Wood fires are relatively cheap to run, even if you have to purchase firewood. If you have access to free firewood, your running costs will be close to zero. And thanks to Kiwi ingenuity, wood fires are even more efficient than ever before.’’ Wood fires have become more sophisticated and functional, with different models, colours, styles, and options such as wetbacks to heat water, coupled with heat transfer systems to distribute the heat from the wood fire throughout the home. Even for city dwellers, wood burners can meet most home heating needs independently of electricity or gas supplies and keep the home environment safe. Mr Butler says hot water supply is still a big issue with customers concerned about power availability. Electric hot water cylinders with ripple control are frequently the first items to be switched off by electricity suppliers when demand exceeds supply and this has increased demand for wetbacks. Mr Butler said research shows that utilising a wetback with a wood fire can make considerable savings in power consumption. ‘‘An average household uses approx 4500 kWh of electricity over winter with around 40 per cent being used to produce hot water. Up to 1800kW hours of electricity can be used per household just to heat

water and at around 25 cents a kWh, that’s around $450. ‘‘Metro produce wetbacks capable of supplying an average family’s hot water requirements during winter and heat transfer systems to maximise the heat produced. ‘This winter, there’s no need to be left in the cold. Everyone can enjoy the warmth,

comfort and reliability a wood fire has to offer.’’ During April and May homeowners can also choose a free heating accessory valued at up to $539 when they purchase any Metro wood fire and flue combination. ■ For further details contact Darin Butler or visit www.metrofires.co.nz.

It’s a rare occurrence for two of the city’s cultural assets, the Manawatu Sinfonia and the Renaissance Singer, to combine to present a concert. This opportunity will be given to lovers of fine music on May 3, 7.30pm at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit on Broadway Avenue. The concert focuses on the big themes of the significance of birth and death within the Christian tradition and the works chosen represent some of the finest of the German tradition of sacred music. Bach can be rightly viewed as the great model for the tradition and his music was an inspiration for the writing of Brahms. Bach’s Magnificat and Brahms’ German Requiem will be conducted by Guy Donaldson and both feature soloists. The soloists in this performance will be the husband and wife team of Nicola and Jared Holt. Soprano Nicola Holt has performed throughout Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Holland and has given solo recitals at the Early Music Festivals in Spain and Austria. She has also sung many lead operatic roles. Baritone Jared Holt has performed principal roles for companies including the Royal Opera House, Teatro Giuseppe Verdi Trieste and Opera New Zealand, together with concert performances with the BBC Symphony and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Joining them in the Bach Magnificat will be Palmerston North singers

Kite fest set to fly high in Palmy By ALECIA ROUSSEAU The joy and satisfaction you get from flying kites is all one Palmerston North enthusiast needs to get behind the city’s

first ever Kite Festival. Held at Monrad Park and supported by Te Patikitiki, this funfilled day will begin at 10am on Saturday, rain or shine. Robert van Weers has been flying kites

New Zealand’s qualiﬁed framing professionals

for more than 30 years and expects to turn many enthusiastic kids into avid kite lovers. ‘‘We will have 100 kitsets here too so those that don’t own one ,can make one. There’s no excuse not to come down to what is going to be an amazing day.’’ Mr van Weers represents New Zealand in kite competitions all over the world and takes his own classes. ‘‘I love teaching people how to make and fly kites; the joy and expression on their face is all the thanks I need. I specialise in soft kites and am well known for the fish I have done.’’ Some of his kites are more than four metres tall ,reaching ‘‘room size’’. He makes all of his own designs and after being taught to sew by his mother, can take it from start to finish. ‘‘That was one of the best skills I have ever learnt — I just built my own and gained experience that way. Inspiration comes from many forms for example I saw a duckling high in a tree once and it tried to fly. The way it fell from the sky and into a pile of leaves was special.’’ Te Patikitiki manager Ruth Tipene said she had never known anyone who could fly a kite without smiling. ‘‘We envision families picnicking around the park and making it a real family event. ‘‘There’s free parking, so much space

and we’ve got a lot of people from our ethnic community also coming.’’ ■ The Kite Festival will be held this Saturday at Monrad Park, 10am-1pm. For more information, please visit citylibrary.pncc.govt.nz.

Shakespeare with Te Manawa Last Wednesday evening saw Te Manawa open Costly Habits Costumes Inspired by Shakespeare. Bustles, bum rolls and corsets took centre stage supported by Te Manawa staff and guests attending in their various versions of fine apparel. There was a plentiful supply of mulled wine, ale and wenches serving mead and roasted chestnuts. Guests were treated to the Palmerston North Girls High School a capella choir and a performance by Niamh Conlon (Feilding High School) as Dogberry from Much Ado About Nothing. The town crier and trumpeter led guests into the exhibition where Costly Habits was officially opened by Andy Lowe and organiser Sheridan Hickey. Costly Habits runs until July 20 and coincides with the Shakespearience Festival currently happening in the Manawatu marking Shakespeare’s 450th birthday. Te Manawa will host Shakespeare inspired performances, Elizabethan embroidery and lace making and there will be activities during the holidays for children. Come and be inspired on Saturday, April 26 at Te Manawa; Kaarin Macaulay from Toi Whakaari will hold Elizabethan Costume Unlaced, a hands-on talk exploring fabric, corsets, ruffs and coifs at 2.30pm, and Sarah Carswell will give a talk at 3.15pm on her experience at Toi Whakaari learning the art of costuming. The Artisan Craft Market will also be running on April 26; free family-friendly fun with Elizabethan-style games and activities; be inspired by Shakespeare, dress up in Elizabethan attire or your favourite Shakespearian character or create your own wearable art to be in to win a spot prize on the day.

Enliven embraces Eden Alternative Enliven Central’s Palmerston North rest homes and retirement village are proud to be embracing the Eden Alternative philosophy. Willard Home and Brightwater Home and Village, run by Enliven, are some of the only rest homes in the country to be actively practicing the Eden Philosophy. Enliven general manager Nicola Turner explains the philosophy follows ten principles—all of which help work against the plagues of loneliness, helplessness and boredom. ‘‘It’s about thinking about the way we support people in residential care. At our rest homes we support people to continue to do the things they’ve always done. It’s important they feel as though they still have a purpose. ‘‘When someone moves into a rest home they haven’t changed, it’s just t h e i r a d d r e ss th a t ’ s changed so we want to make sure our place is as much like their home as possible.’’ The elder-directed Eden principles touch on ideas such as variety and spontaneity, companionship, contact with children and animals, continuing hobb i e s a n d m e a n in g f u l activity. Enliven Central introduced the Eden Philosophy in 2008.

Remembrance plants for Anzac Day Anzac Day this year will be a particularly poignant occasion as it will be 100 years since the start of World War 1, which was dubbed ‘‘the war to end all wars’’. While there’ll be all sorts of commemorations taking place, one simple thing you can do in your own backyard is to make a remembrance planting to mark this anniversary. Depending on your space, you may choose a tree or something as small as a flowering plant. It’s not the size or longevity that counts, but the significance to you and your family. Here are some suggestions for remembrance plants: ■ Rosemary is probably the first plant that leaps to mind because it has been used as a symbol of remembrance since ancient times. These days it’s easy to find a spot for rosemary in the garden because there’s such a proliferation of varieties, large and small. ■ Cistus, or rock rose, became known as the Gallipoli rose because it grew and flowered so profusely on the Gallipoli hillsides. This pretty little Mediterranean shrub has slightly hairy leaves and flowers that look just like pink or white single roses. Cistus does best in full sun in a cool winter, dry summer climate and looks especially attractive in a pot. Apart from the occasional light trim, the plant will only need a sprinkle with Dynamic Lifter Plus Flower Food every now and then. Plant now and your rock rose will be nicely established in time for next year’s Gallipoli centenary. ■ Forget me not; Forget me not’s name instantly associates the plant with remembrance. It’s so-named because it’s said that, once you have these pretty spring flowers in your garden, they’re with you for ever. While individual plants are shortlived, they seed so profusely that they come up again and again. Yates packet seed range includes Forget Me Not Little Bluebird, a sweetly named variety that makes a great filler for a flower border. ■ White lilies often appear in lists of plants for remembrance. The all-time favourite is the perfumed Lilium longiflorum which is variously known as November lily or Christmas lily depending on the climate in which it’s grown. But it’s hard to beat this traditional white favourite that in late spring, early summer sends up metretall stems topped with classic, fragrant, icy white trumpets. April’s a great time of year to look for lilium bulbs and there are lots of colours and shapes available. ■ Flanders poppies (pictured) are the plants most associated with World War 1 battlefields and the trenches of Western Europe. It’s thought that the soil disturbance caused mass germination of poppy seeds and, subsequently, their blood-red flowers often marked with a black cross became symbols of the massive loss of life. This association was further cemented after the war’s end when red paper poppies were sold as fundraisers for the wounded survivors. Sow Yates Flanders Poppy seeds into pots of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix and transplant carefully when the seedlings are large enough to handle. If sown in April, poppy seedlings will be ready to be planted out into a sunny, sheltered spot in the garden once the soil has cooled. ■ For more information, contact Karie Egerton by emailing karie.egerton@yates.co.nz or visit www.yates.co.nz.

You have reached an extremely important point of the year for your relationships, even though the events themselves are unspectacular.

SCORPIO

With the hard work invested, everything out in the open and Venus’ return over the weekend

PP A E PR

With life due to become a lot busier and even more work focused over the coming week, it’s important to work to find a balance between work and play.

CAPRICORN

This week’s cosmic conditions give you a much better understanding of any work/life balance tensions or issues and how to benefit in a win/win way.

AQUARIUS

With some big communication issues, challenges or topics to plough through, communication hasn’t been fun of late, but it has been empowering.

PISCES

With challenging financial months now behind you, you’re able to see how you can turn past financial challenges into an opportunity for new growth.

RENTICE TRAI

NIN

When

bringing in the rewards, trust what your gut is telling you.

With the toughest astrological storm you’ve seen in years behind you, take the time to take in what you have learned and to choose your path forward.

There is a survivors mentality kicking in, one where you realise now that the storm has passed, what is and isn’t important and what you have neglected.

Crouch,

Touch, Paws! Dog safety for children Why dogs bite – an article for your children… With more and more dog attacks being made public news it is especially important for children to learn why dogs may bite, and what to do to keep themselves safe. Fear or surprise Quick movements and sudden or loud noises can be scary for a dog, and they may try to

bite to protect themselves. If a dog thinks you might be going to hurt them, and they can’t get away, they may try to bite. • Move slowly and be quiet around dogs • Always ask the owner for permission before you pat a dog, then let the dog come to you and sniff you • Stand side-on to the dog and always pat under the chin ﬁrst • If a dog is sleeping, leave it alone and do not pat a dog if the owner is not there Over-excitement The noises and movements you make when you play are very exciting to dogs. When dogs play with other dogs, they often play roughly with their sharp teeth and claws. Sometimes dogs forget that they can’t play the same way with you. Because dogs don’t have hands, they use their mouths to grab things. A dog can hurt you by accident, just by being too excited. • Play gently and calmly with and around dogs • If a dog gets too excited, freeze until it calms down, then walk away • Take some time out before returning to play Pain or sickness When a dog is in pain, they don’t understand where the pain is coming from. If you touch it, the dog may think you are causing the pain and could bite you to try and make it stop. • If you think a dog is sick or hurt, leave it alone • Tell an adult and then get help for the dog

Protecting property A dog may protect anything that’s important to it – toys, bedding, food, people, territory, even its car! If you come near something that the dog feels is off-limits to you he may try to bite you to make you leave the thing alone. • Never go into a yard where there is a dog you don’t know • Don’t reach through a car window or a fence to pat a dog you don’t know • Don’t pat a dog that is tied up or confined and don’t touch a dog’s property Watch and listen for the warnings a dog will give you to let you know they’re upset. If its ears are laid back against its head, the legs are stiff and/or the hair on the back of the dog’s neck is fluffed up this could be a warning that the dog is feeling threatened. If a dog is growling, barking, showing its teeth and/or staring at you this may also mean it is ready to bite. If you feel like a dog is about to bite you – stop moving and look at the ground, count to five in your head then move away very slowly, sideways or backwards. If the dog jumps on you, act like a rock by curling up into a ball and covering your face with your arms.

What you should not do – don’t stare at the dog (this means “go on, I dare you to bite me!”), run, jump or wave your arms around. Don’t scream, throw anything at the dog, or hit it. Did you know? Dogs don’t actually like cuddles (tight hugs or face-to-face contact can make a dog feel scared) and a wagging tail does not always mean a dog “likes you” or is “happy to see you”.

SERVICES DIRECTORY Introducing the revolutionary Tranzheat system Over the past four years we have studied the shortfalls of the different types of ventilation, heat recovery and airconditioners available and have come up with what we believe is the most innovative system for the New Zealand home. We decided on balanced pressure ventilation for condensation control and air quality, and heatpump technology for heat recovery and heating. All these features consist of a single unit that’s discreetly mounted in the ceiling cavity. No ugly outdoor unit. Adaptations are available where heat that is lost from your rangehood and bathroom extractor can be reclaimed and reintroduced inside. That existing heat transfer or positive pressure system you may have can also be connected onto a Tranzheat ventilation heat recovery system. The Tranzheat System was a finalist in the Innovate Manawatu Competition for 2013. Quick facts: ■ The Tranzheat System costs the same as a couple of 400W econo heaters to run on heating but has an output of 2400W. ■ The Tranzheat System Conforms with New Zealand Building Code NZS4303:1990 ‘‘Ventilation for acceptable indoor air quality’’. ■ Supply and installation cost is comparative to other ventilation systems on the market but with the true energy efficient heating capabilities being at least double the heat recovery of any other system on the domestic market.

■ The system is made in the Manawatu and comes with a five-year warranty.

Final countdown for Ford begins Ford Australia has announced early details about the limited edition FPV GT sedan that will be part of the wind down of its Australian car manufacturing activities. Set to go on sale later this year, the limitededition car will be badged FPV GT F — the F designating ‘‘Final’’ as Ford prepares to close its Australian car production facilities in 2016. The individually numbered GT F sedan will be limited to 550 units (500 in Australia and 50 for New Zealand). No pictures of the car have been released yet and final details of the specification also remain under wraps. ‘‘Developing this FPV has been a project of passion, a combined effort by many dedicated and passionate Ford engineering staff and suppliers to produce a model that celebrates the FPV brand for our customers and fans,’’ said Bob Graziano, President and CEO of Ford Australia. ‘‘The entire team has worked tirelessly to develop a GT that will forever pay homage to the FPV brand and celebrate its iconic status among enthusiasts.’’ The GT F will boast the superior handling capabilities of the GT R-Spec cars, featuring the same recalibrated suspension package and wider 9-inch rear wheels with 275/35 R19 Dunlop Sports Maxx tyres. An automatically enabled launch control feature will tailor torque delivery to ensure launch performance is optimised and drive quality uncompromised on typical road surfaces. The FPV GT option of Brembo 6-piston front and 4-piston rear brakes will be standard on the GT F. No powertrain details have been confirmed but speculation in Australian has hinted the output of the 5.0-litre supercharged ‘‘Miami’’ engine might be upgraded to 351kW — a number that pays homage to the 351 cubic-inch displacement engines from the cars which are considered the most iconic of Falcon GT models. Ford says the design team, led by Nick Eterovic, Ford Australia design manager, has delivered a design that can trace some of its visual cues to past Australian Ford GTs. ‘‘We knew we had to celebrate an icon so some of the visual design cues can trace their heritage back to the Ford GTs of the 1970s,’’ Eterovic said. ‘‘There is a true sense of history and

An FPV GT F final edition will be launched later this year. celebration with this car but we wanted to make sure that we retained the most exciting elements of the current FPV range, while modernising the design and adding fresh elements to the GT F.’’ The team has developed a ‘stealth’ stripe design package that is evocative of the blacked-out highlights from Ford muscle cars of the 70s complimented by distinctive GT F badging. The GT F will be available in five colour variants from the Ford palette, Winter White, Kinetic (blue), Silhouette (black), Octane (orange) and Smoke (dark grey). Standard matte black stripes feature across all colours, plus a performance white option on Kinetic only and metallic gold available on Silhouette. Silver stripe options will be available on Smoke and Silhouette. Eterovic said the designers chose a palette of body colour and stripe variations that delivered a set of very strong and targeted combinations, from bold and modern with black on white, through the tone-on-tone elegance of silver on Smoke, to a sense of history with the gold on black. A specific interior treatment includes premium stitching and embroidery on the partial leather sports seats. A high series audio and centre console has been included as has a GT F-branded build number. ‘‘The GT F is a celebration of the GT and of Ford’s history in Australia and our dedicated team have made sure this vehicle can stand proudly beside any GT products of the past — and any Ford performance vehicles in future,’’ Graziano said.

Rising triathlon star picked to represent NZ By ALECIA ROUSSEAU An ex-Palmerston North athlete has been chosen to represent New Zealand for the third time in the Triathlon World Championships. Sarah Cushing, 29, described as one of the the field’s underdogs, is part of the age-group category meaning she will compete against other 25-29 year olds in Edmonton, Canada, on September 1. Competing in the standard distance group (1500 metre swim, 40km cycle, 10km run), Cushing says preparation for this year’s race will take a different course than usual. ‘‘Leading up to my first world champs in Auckland, 2012 I burnt myself out physically and emotionally. I ended up catching a virus and was on a drip three days before the race and dropped to 57kg (at 176cm tall, this is not healthy). I was advised not to race by my doctor but as it was in New Zealand and I had a lot of family and friends watching, I was determined to start and finish — and I did.’’ After recently moving to Iceland, Cushing has had to reassess her weekly training plans. ‘‘I’m currently training about 15 hours a week . . . the difference in Iceland is that the weather can really affect the training. My focus at the moment is on base work, which is all about building the foundation, i.e. lots of hill work on the bike and long, steady runs. As I get closer to race season in June, I will start to incorporate speed work and see if my hard work over winter has paid off.’’ Nutrition is equally as important, she added, with athletes having to drop to a specified weight before race day. ‘‘Race weight is about being strong enough to swim and cycle, but light enough to run fast. Over the years I have learned what weight is best for my performance and make slight diet changes to get there. Usually this means

I’m a big fan of the high fat, low carb approach.’’ Time for work and her partner is often sacrificed but Cushing says it’s all worth it in the end. ‘‘I’m incredibly fortunate that my partner is my biggest supporter and my employers

have been equally supportive and flexible. My current employer in Iceland, GreenQloud, is excited about me racing this year and is providing sponsorship support.’’ Cushing says her success in last year’s London world champs where she placed 35th overall, cemented her spot in this year’s team. ‘‘My most memorable moment was the

I can’t describe what it’s like racing and having thousands of people cheering you on but it’s one of the best aspects about racing at world champs.’’ ■ For more information on the Triathlon World Champs, please visit edmonton.triathlon.org.
