Support for ban callBy STAFFREPORTER

BAN CALL: Levin dad, Robert, outside what’s believed to be theonly shop in Levin selling legal highs, with a petition calling forlegal highs to be banned.

Levin father, Robert isconcerned legal highs are stillavailable in Horowhenua.

‘‘I have a son who is addictedto this stuff, I know what it cando,’’ he said taking a standoutside Levin’s adult boutiqueon Oxford Street.

‘‘I believe this is the onlyretailer left in Levin still sellingthe stuff.’’

Joined by a fellow father ofsix, who didn’t want to benamed, the men invited peopleto sign a petition calling for thesubstance to be banned.Discussions became heatedwhen the owners of theboutique came on to the street,giving the men their marchingorders. Invited by theHorowhenua Chronicle to puttheir story forward, the ownersdeclined. Police intervened andthe petitioners were allowed tocontinue with their mission.

Last year HorowhenuaDistrict Council’s Wellbeingexecutive committee and Life tothe Max group campaigned tohave Horowhenua retailerswithdraw from selling legalhighs.

‘‘There’s a strong view in

this community we want thisstuff banned,’’ Horowhenuadeputy mayor Gary Good said.

‘‘I believe this shop wasapproached to see if they wouldstop selling (legal highs). I thinkthis is the only shop in Levinwhich chose to carry on. I guess

it’s some consolation this is anR18 shop.’’

Robert gathered 400signatures opposing the sale oflegal highs in Levin.

‘‘This is more dangerousthan cannabis,’’ he said.

‘‘You know what you’reusing with cannabis. This stuffcan contain all sorts ofsubstances, you don’t knowwhat you’re dealing with.’’

New Zealand Drug Detectionagency general manager JasonTrembath confirmed employersare having workers tested forillegal highs.

‘‘It’s a work in progress,’’ hesaid.

‘‘The fact illegal highscontain such a variety ofsubstances we have to keepworking to stay on top it.’’

Last year a local collegestudent was admitted toPalmerston North Hospitalsuffering from a reaction tousing an illegal high.

Training turns realBy TANYAWOOD

A surf life saving training sessions atWaitarere Beach turned into a dramaticrescue at the weekend.

The rescue took place at about 3.30pm onSunday when life savers turned theirtraining into a real life rescue. The club’sinflatable rescue boat was launched,manned by volunteers Andrew Watson andVictoria McTavish, the first to respond tothe calls for help.

A group of six young people had been

swimming between the flags, about 70metres from shore when they got caught ina rip and carried out to sea.

A man and a women from the groupswam to shore. The remaining four girls,one suffering an asthma attack, were pickedup by the rescue boat as their situationquickly became dangerous.

Waitarere Beach Surf Life Saving Clubcaptain Brian Forth was proud of how thelife guard team handled the rescue.

Mr Forth watched the rescue unfold.‘‘It was one of those moments where it

happened so fast,’’ he said.‘‘Rip tides can develop suddenly and be

difficult to spot.’’He was especially proud of the boat crew

who pulled the four swimmers to safetywithin 30 seconds of leaving the shore.

‘‘The IRB driver, Andrew Watson, onlyqualified last winter and Victoria McTavishis still training,’’ Mr Forth said.

‘‘It was a great team effort, they deserve apat on the back.’’

The teenagers were examined byparamedics before leaving the beach.

Great results for studentsWith NATHANGUYOtaki MP FROMMY DIARY

■ Parliament and Cabinetare on this week.■ I’m giving speeches to arange of events, includingan agri-businessconference and aMaorifarming awards function.■ Friday is a busy day inthe electorate.

The school year is in fullswing for over 30 schools inKapiti and Horowhenua.

As we wave goodbye to theend of the school holidays, it ispleasing to see some greatresults based on our students’performance at NCEA levellast year.

The most important ofthese relate to the number ofstudents leaving school withan NCEA Level 2qualification. Across NewZealand this has risen by 2.5per cent to nearly 77 per centin 2013.

In fact, since 2008 there hasbeen a 10 per cent increase inthe number of studentsachieving Level 2 NCEA. Thisis an outstanding result.

Pasifika students

achievement of NCEA Level 2is up nearly 7 per cent in thelast 12 months which isfantastic, and for Maoristudents it has been a 4 percent increase over the sameperiod. Better targeting with

resources has made a bigdifference.

Credit has to go to students,parents and teachers for theirhard work. I believe theintroduction of NationalStandards will also play a partin the future. As a parent ofthree school-age children, it’sgreat to have regular updatesin plain English on how theyare faring.

Leaving school with thislevel of qualification givesyoung people so many moreoptions in life, whether it’swork or further study.

These results build onreforms announced earlierthis year by Prime MinisterJohn Key.

An extra $359 million willbe invested over the next fouryears to create four newteaching and leadership rolesin our schools — Executive

Principals, Expert Teachers,Lead Teachers, and ChangePrincipals.

These positions willencourage the best teachers toremain in front of theclassroom, and allow them toshare their knowledge withother schools. It will also allowtop principals to do the same,providing new ideas andleadership to other schools.

DON’TBANFAMILYFUNRegarding the article calling forthe banning of fireworks — Iwould ban other things beforebanning something thatprovides a lot of fun forthousands of families everyyear.

Good Lord, there are not

enough family events as it is.This is one chance for families,grandparents, aunties anduncles to all get together for agreat evening of innocent fun.

There are other things thatshould be banned beforefireworks, one is alcohol. Thispoison that people drink causesfar, far more problems thanfireworks ever will.

Peter Sharp needs to look atthe facts about alcohol and thenumber of deaths, bashings,cancers, family misery fromalcohol addiction, car crashes,idiot behaviour and the list goeson.

So someone’s poor weedoggie got a fright. Then lockthem away or bring them insidewhere they can be safe andisolated from the wee pops andhisses that fireworks make.

Catch the idiots that arecausing the problems, don’t banfamily fun! Enough things havebeen banned due to idiotbehaviour and this onlypenalises good families havingfun. It doesn’t penalise idiotsand idiots will find other waysto be idiots anyway.

Not much thought goes intosome people’s kneejerkreactions to idiot behaviours.No more of this nanny statestuff, please.

RUSSELL LIGGINSLevin

Council serviceI am a volunteer driver for theLevin Hospice Shop.

Last Saturday, February 8,we had to remove a smallamount of rubbish that usually

gets dumped outside the shopovernight. We were told to takeit around to the transfer station(we take some rubbish on aregular basis) and usually thissmall amount costs around$20-$25. When we arrived, theweigh bridge was closed. Wewere told it was broken so weasked what happens now? Theirreply was ‘‘everyone has to paya standard fee of $45’’. So we hadno option but to pay.

Other people at the tip wereall complaining about the $45charge including an elderly ladyand her son with a smallamount on a trailer.

I thought this council hadsome ‘nous’, so fix this problemof high prices and prove mewrong. This council andmanagers need to get off theirbutts and start acting like acouncil because in reality wepay your high salaries, so getout and earn them.

This is a case of ‘‘large wastemanagement’’ by charging whatthey like in a town with a largeelderly population.

The buck stops at the top. Ifthis waste managementcompany won’t ease up theirhigh prices, it’s time for achange. No wonder some peoplechoose to dump their rubbish onback country roads.

Sometimes I am so ashamedof this council and managerswith their casual approach toservice matters. For a monthnow, the road drain outside myhouse has been blocked anumber of times with all therain we have had overChristmas. The road floodsevery time, I wade in and

unblock it, but the rubbishkeeps building up and it justdoesn’t get picked up.

When I moved to Levin 20years ago, the same day acouncil worker would arrive tounblock and remove therubbish. Now we have privatecontractors, this doesn’thappen, they need directionfrom council managers to keepthem on their toes. We theratepayers expect nothing less.

BOB WHITELevin

In response to Bob White:Who’s to blame for rip-off.

Horowhenua DistrictCouncil’s operations managerGlen O’Connor said the LevinTransfer Station is privatelyowned and operated. Councildoes not have any contractualarrangement relating to theoperation of the transfer station.Fees and charges are set by theowners of the transfer station,and Council has no influenceover these fees. Any enquiriesrelating to the fees and chargesset at the transfer station shouldbe directed to Mid WestDisposals. As an alternative tothe Levin Transfer Station,Council owns and operateswaste transfer stations inShannon and Foxton.

Stormwater grates willinevitably block from time totime and we certainlyappreciate any person assistingus by clearing these. If you areconcerned about the amount ofdebris in a stormwater grate,please let us know by contactingCouncil’s Customer ServicesTeam on 06 366 0999.

REBECCA Warson, her partner Dave Boyde and their family.

Rebecca Warson and herpartner Dave Boydeexperienced a night toremember and put in therecord books recently.

Unbeknown to them itturned out to be the nightDave helped his newbornbaby into the world, afeeling that he had nowords to accuratelydescribe.

Baby Boyde wasdelivered in the back seatof the couple’s car with theassistance of policemanholding a touch and amidwife givinginstructions over thephone.

Mr Boyde said it startedat about 10.10pm whenRebecca said her waterhad broken.

Taking it that theirother son, Jack, had takenfive hours to get to thepoint of being born thecouple casually got readyand into the car.

A short while later thatturned to panic as thecontractions became morefrequent.

Mr Boyde put his footdown to try and make it toHutt Hospital before thebaby arrived.

‘‘I was watching

Rebecca, timing thecontractions as we headedsouth.

‘‘They were gettingmore frequent,’’ he said.

By the time theyreached the rail overbridge it was too late: babywas on his way.

At the same time MrBoyde was desperatelytrying to drive around atruck, when he noticedblue and white flashinglights behind him.

As the police officerwalked to the car he couldsee what was going on andhelped by shinning a torchon the proceedings.

Mr Boyde said it was afantastic feeling,worrying, but fantastic allthe same, as he gently heldthe small infant’s head.

‘‘I had no idea what Iwas doing it all seemed tocome naturally,’’ he said.

Mr Boyde said the babywas slippery. ‘‘But Imanaged to get himwrapped up. We spent thenight in hospital makingsure baby and Rebeccawere alright.

‘‘It really is one of thoseexperiences I’ll neverforget,’’ he said.

Mr Boyde did notreceive a speeding ticketunder the circumstances.

BLUEBEAT REPORTwith GRAEME JARVISCOMMUNITYCONSTABLE

It has been many months since Ihave had to mention thefts andburglaries in our ruralcommunities, where motorcycles, particularly quads, arebeing targeted.

Sadly this week is one ofthose, and while there have notbeen too many to date, thedistinct trend appearing is thatquad bikes and petrol are being stolen.

So far, rural properties in the Foxton areahave been worst hit. However thieves canturn up anywhere in the future, so I urge allrural readers to take extra precautions withtheir quads, motor cycles and petrol.

Often these vehicles are being storedsome way from the residences, such as atcow sheds, and in these situations extra careshould now be taken. Not only locking themaway, but removing keys to a safe place, andpossibly using a secondary locking devicesuch as clamps or chains. I know theseprecautions are time wasting andinconvenient, but they may just prevent youfrom becoming another victim.

It is at times such as this, where a fewminutes spent now reviewing farm security,particularly ensuring that petrol, quads,tools and even other motor vehicles aresecurely locked, will be time well spent.

While on rural matters, the next fewmonths are the peak of the cannabis growingseason. Rural areas, particularly those

growing maize and those withparks and reserves, or riverand stream boundaries arelikely to see suspiciousmovements of motor vehicles.While the weather remainsdry, growers are likely to betaking extra water to theirplots, so their comings andgoings will be more frequentand therefore are more likelyto be noticed. To reportsuspicious behaviour, you can

telephone your local police station direct, orfor complete anonymity if required, you canring Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Following the recent spate of burglariesin Levin over recent months, local policehave concentrated their efforts to identifysuspects, and where appropriate, arrestoffenders. A combined approach sees alluniform staff and detectives workingtogether on this initiative. While theoperation is in its early stages, a small butsteady decrease in local burglaries hasalready been noticed.

Police were thrilled with crowdbehaviour at the Hurricanes versusCrusaders rugby match at the Levin Domainon Friday night. A total liquor ban on thegrounds ensured a family friendlyatmosphere, and noticeable were the largenumber of children and family groups.

A great crowd witnessed a tough match,and although the outcome was not what themajority were hoping for, organisers can bewell pleased with their efforts.

Woman evades scam attemptAn elderly Levin woman had her witsabout her when she received a telephonecall, where the caller was speaking‘‘fluent’’ Polish and they stated that arelative of hers was in need of money.The lady told the caller that she wasgoing to check, the caller hung up.

Police said it would seem as thoughthis was a scam of some sort, so never

supply any personal details or bankaccount details (or cash) to any person atall.

Police said in this instance thewoman came to the police station andreported it. However their concern isthat some people may be duped intorevealing bank details and left losing alot of money.

Boy has head injuriesA boy suffered head injuries and wasairlifted to hospital for treatmentearlier this week.

On Monday the Palmerston Northrescue helicopter flew to Taihape tobring a boy back to Palmerston Northhospital.

At around 8am on Monday the11year old boy suffered head injuriesafter a collision with a car while ridinghis bike.

He was stabilised by St Johnparamedics before being airlifted tohospital in a stable condition.

Horowhenua and the Belgian district ofComines-Warneton will become twinned,cementing a historic relationship datingback to World War 1.

Five men from the Horowhenua areknown to have fought in the battle of LaBasse-Ville in the Warneton district.Charles Sciascia, Stanley Saint, LeslieAndrew, William Hannan and FrederickFrancis took part in the two-day battle,July 31 to August 1, 1917, part of thePasschendale campaign to break throughto the Belgian coast and destroy Germansubmarine bases.

The bodies of Sciascia, Andrew andFrancis remain buried in unmarkedgraves in La Basse-Ville. A memorial toCharles Sciascia was erected at the site ofthe battle in 2007 following extensiveresearch undertaken by retired Belgianjudge Dominique Cooreman. Adopt anAnzac followed her lead and identified allthe other Horowhenua men who died inworld conflicts. There is also a memorial toLeslie Andrew at the battle site.

The idea for the twinning was MsCooreman’s, who said it seemed like thenext logical step. Supported by theHorowhenua and Warneton mayors andBelgian authorities, she was appointed astheir liaison officer and unofficialinterpreter. The planning for the district

twinning has taken about two years.‘‘I feel very excited about the it,

especially for the communities andfamilies of the soldiers lost in battle,’’ saidMs Cooreman who is preparing a book onthe battle.

‘‘It is an acknowledgement of their livesgiven so that we could live in peace. Myhope is that the young people will beenriched by the exchange visits, and gain abetter understanding of the impact war hasas a whole, so that they will help maintainpeace in the future.’’

Mayor Brendan Duffy said the twocouncils will be swapping signed deedsshortly. No formal signing ceremony isplanned.

‘‘The relationship we’re trying to buildis a brilliant opportunity to have anexchange arrangement for young people tolearn about our respective histories, and toshare and experience our differentcultures. The twinning arrangement setsus up well for planned centennialcelebrations in 2017.’’

It was 100 years ago on July 28, 1914 thatWorld War I, also known as the Great War,began. Hostilities ceased on November 11,1918.

2014 GREATFOREST EVENTS

12 APRIL 2014


WORK LIFE BALANCE . . .

Hi, I am Tania and I am training for the 10km event at Great ForestEvents April 12, 2014. Each week I will update you with myprogress. Hopefully I will encourage you to join me on this journeyand do the event too!

It’s been kind of a slow week asfar as my training goes.

When you work more thannormal, fitting in training ishard. But I think I managedquite well . . .

I’ve done some extra hours atwork with some late nights andearly mornings meaning I amjust too tired to get out and traineveryday.

Excuses I know!! I am not amorning person and with mostof my week starting at 5am, mostafternoons I basically crawledinto bed once I got home anddidn’t wake till the stars wereup.

Saturday arrived and my firstday off meant I had the energyand the time to get down to thebeach and do my 10km walk,feeling a little stiff after thebreak. The beach was packed asthe weather was great, so manyfishing boats out early making itsuch an awesome environmentfor any walk or run.

When you’re busy with workit’s good to remember trainingdoesn’t always have to be aboutstructured exercise — it can beincorporated into everydayfamily life. I got to spend somequality time with my moko overthe weekend. We had fun, takingthe dogs for a walk, going to theriver for a swim, and then earlySunday morning making achocolate cake (a treat for all ourefforts), none saved forgrandma, though!!

Looking after Shyiah (mymoko) is another way of keeping

me active.This week I headed to Palmy

to Shoe Clinic to have my feetfitted with a new pair of Brooksshoes. If you’ve registeredalready for the Great Forest orare still thinking of doing it Istrongly recommend gettingthose new shoes sooner ratherthan later. I’ve only done acouple of 10km walks so far and Iam still breaking my shoes in.Its been a big change as I haven’thad new shoes for nearly eightyears!

If you are after a new pair ofshoes head to the team at ShoeClinic in Palmy and they can

help pick out the right pair ofshoes for you.

I haven’t been completelyslack. To keep up my low impactexercise I have done a 1.5kmswim, I also tried out anaquacise class which Ithoroughly enjoyed. I totallyrecommend these classes as partof any training plan — it’s agreat low impact workout, greatfor tired or sore joints while stillgetting good muscle tone andlots of fun.

I’m feeling confident aboutincreasing the tempo this week,going to make sure I prioritisemy training. I am determined torun more than walk. I am goingto include some hill work(hitting Trig a couple of timesthis week) and pushing play inthe pool at least 3-4 times.

Come down to the LevinAquatic Centre and have a chatabout the Great Forest Event. Orfor more training advice checkout the training schedules atwww.greatforest.org.nz

This weeks training:1.5km Swim — 20km Walk-

Run — 1 x Aquacise Class —Biking equals 0kms :( I stillhaven’t managed to obtain a bikeso can’t report on the biking yet.Motivational Tip

ON THE HUSTINGS

Grandfather big influenceon political aspirationsBy ROBMCCANN

When people ask mehow I got interestedin politics, I alwaysthink of mygranddad.

Granddad workedon the wharves and,of course, alwaysvoted Labour. Heand Grandmotherwere devoted tofamily, worked hardfor a decent day’s pay andalways showed compassion.Values the Labour Party wasbuilt on.

I spent countless hours intheir company, nurtured bygood food and conversation. Inparticular, Granddad liked tostage mock debates, where heand I would each take a side ona topic and argue it out. Itdidn’t matter what the subjectwas, what was important wasthe time we spent together andthat I was being influenced bythe integrity and fairness ofGranddad’s beliefs.

My grandparents were doingmore than teaching me aboutpolitics and social justice. Theywere demonstrating how acommunity takes care of itschildren and how the oldergenerations have wisdom toshare. They let me know that Iwould always have somewhereto go if I was in trouble. Theyallowed my parents to get onwith their work, knowing I wassafe.

My partner and I are also

blessedbecause, bycoming backto live in thisregion, wehave beenable to giveour ownchildren theexperience ofgrowing upnear theirgrandparents.We’ve also

been able to access the supportand guidance of extendedfamily and we know howprecious that is.

I believe we all wantchildren to grow up incommunities where they feelsafe and nurtured. Weinstinctively understand thatthis is how we build the societywe want to live in. That is whyLabour cares about all thechildren in our communities,regardless of how little moneytheir parents have. Childrencannot be expected to reachtheir full potential if they areconstantly missing out on thethings most of us take forgranted: good housing,nutritious food, decent healthcare.

Some parents andgrandparents are going to needextra support to provide thesethings.

And that’s why I’m standingfor Labour in this electorate:because Labour values all NewZealand children, and thepeople who care for them.

Levin turnout thrills union

Corey Kennett

The Horowhenua Kapiti Rugby FootballUnion would like to thank all whoattended the Wellington Hurricanes vsCanterbury Crusaders Super Rugby pre-season clash at the Levin Domain.

Our official crowd figure of 6500 wasvery strong and well up on last year’scrowd of 5000.

Despite the 41-15 win to the Crusaders,it was a fantastic game of rugby with 26 All

Blacks taking the field, including the AllBlacks captain, Richie McCaw.

Being able to host and watch thiscalibre of players in action in Levin was avery rare occasion and we look forward tohosting another Super Rugby fixture infuture.

The HKRFU would also like to thank allof our volunteers who assisted on the day.Your support is greatly appreciated andwe look forward to having you volunteeragain.

HKRFU chief executive Corey Kennettsaid he was ecstatic with the turnout.

‘‘To have such a huge turnout wasamazing. It was great to see the localcommunity turn out in their thousandsand enjoy themselves. I am very proud ofthe event and hope that we can replicatethis in the future.

‘‘Thank you to all who assisted inmaking this a reality, your efforts wereinvaluable.’’

Cards bighit for allBy SENIORCONSTABLE FIONAREADSchool Communities Officer

‘The correct wearing ofhelmets is really importantto ensure that they do thejob they are supposed to

do.’

The Gottcha are having a reallypositive impact on the numbers ofchildren biking to school and usingsafe cycling practices.

It is great to see kids gettingtogether and biking to and fromschool

Hand signals are being usedmore and helmets are being worncorrectly.

The correct wearing of helmetsis really important to ensure thatthey do the job they are supposed todo.

So far a lot of parents haveapproached me not knowing how tocorrectly fit a cycle helmet.

Steps 1 to 6 outline how thisshould be done.

Police also remind parents thatit is recommended that childrenunder 10 are accompanied by anadult while riding on the road.

I have received positivefeedback from parents teachersstudents and police staff aroundthis initiative.

Gottcha cards can also beobtained when you make apurchase for your bike at Chaineysand Southend Cycles.

Southend Cycles have kindlydonated four cycle helmets for theend of term prize and Macdonaldshave donated meal vouchers for theend of term prize also.

Face paint leadlevels too highTests of a children’s face paint kit havefound it contains extremely high levelsof lead.

‘‘Consumer NZ has found a CarnivalColour-branded paint contained15,200mg/kg of lead. Lead is prohibitedfrom use in face paints under theCosmetic Products Group Standard.Young children are particularly at riskfrom exposure to lead, which can causedevelopmental and other problems.

‘‘This face paint kit claimed it had‘passed authentication’ to European toysafety standards but the high levels oflead detected meant it should neverhave been sold,’’ said Consumer NZchief executive Sue Chetwin.

The Carnival Colour kit, which wasmade in China, was bought at discountstore Krazy$Dealz in Lower Hutt,Wellington. It contained blue, green,red, and yellow paints. The high levelsof lead were detected in the yellow paintin the kit.

The product packaging failed toprovide contact details for the NewZealand importer. Following inquiries,Consumer found the kit was importedby Translucky International, thetrading name of Apollogrip ImportersLtd. Apollogrip is based in Aucklandand is a wholesaler of $2 and varietyitems.

Apollogrip said the paint had beendistributed to stores around thecountry and has now contacted itscustomers to tell them to remove it fromsale.

Consumer also found the product forsale at Wellington toy retailer Smallfry.‘‘We have advised the store of the testresults and the owner undertook toremove it from the shelf,’’ said MsChetwin.

Consumer advises anyone who hasbought the Carnival Colour face paint

not to use it. Consult your doctor ifyou’re concerned your child has usedthe product.

Ms Chetwin said Consumer iscurrently testing other children’s facepaints for the presence of lead. Lead isnot permitted in face paints or cosmeticproducts, other than at trace levels thatare considered to be ‘‘technicallyunavoidable in good manufacturingpractice‘‘. Its use in children’s toys isalso regulated. Toys with more than90mg/kg of lead have been banned since2007.

Test results for the paint have beengiven to the Ministry of Health, whichprovided funding for the testing.

One of the most experienceddrivers to come out of the UK,John Lund will be behind thewheel and taking a shot at the 248global Challenge being raced onSaturday, at Robertson HoldenInternational Speedway.

Lund is one of the mostwinningest drivers in the BritishF1 stockcar scene with anincredible eight world titles tohis name.

And while the New Zealandcars are different to the F1 carshe drives at home, PalmerstonNorth speedway track managerBryan Pukowski said there arean awful lot of top drivers in theline up, inclunding Lund, andwhile he does not race hereregularly he has an immenseamount of driving experienceand will be well and truly in therunning.

Lund, a farmer from Clitheroein Lancashire, is one of thelongest running, mostsuccessful, and most populardrivers racing BriSCA F1 StockCars.

His route into the sport istypical of all the drivers from hisgeneration. He started as a fanwatching from the terraces of thelong lost North West tracks,mainly Nelson in Lancashire,but also Rochdale and (theoriginal) Belle Vue.

After a few years the bug totry the sport first hand had welland truly bitten, and he set aboutbuilding his first car. There wasvery little knowledge of the‘science of racing’ in those days,and drivers kept any little secretadvantages they discovered verymuch to themselves, so John’scar building journey was onevery much of blind discovery.

His initial car being based on

just what he could gather fromlooking at other cars in the pits.

Lund’s first ever race meetingwas at Rochdale in March 1976,aged just 22 years old.

He finished sixth in theconsolation race. Then followeda brief period of trials andtribulations as John discoveredweaknesses in his car, teachinghim lessons in car design thatJohn now considers to have been

invaluable.Not long into his second year

in the sport, John reached StarGrade status (an honour he hasheld ever since). Ten yearsfurther on, in 1987 at Belle Vuehe achieved every racer’s dream,and won the WorldChampionship. It laid down themarker of things to come. Johnhas gone on to be one of the mostsuccessful drivers in history.

Eight World Championship titlesmakes him the winningest driverof the coveted Gold Roof, and hisnumerous other championshipsplus over 200 final wins madehim the man to beat for nearly 20years.

It will a case of no hold barred, asthe cream of Superstocks roll outon to Area 1 on Saturday to battle itout for title of Global ChallengeChampion.

Track manager BryanPukowski said over the last fewweeks fans have been ttreated tosome of a the best racing theycould have wanted and there ismore to come.

‘‘To try and pick a winner,would be impossible.

‘‘There are so many factors thatcould potentially take out one ofthe favourite in the first few laps,’’he said.

Englishman John Lund willhave to stand his ground. Backedby an enormous amount ofexperience, he will still have to getused to a new car and the tactics of

the local drivers.There is a huge list of local

Palmerston North drivers whohave the ability and the cars totake out the title, Peter Rees, ShanePenn, Graeme Barr and PeterBengston to name a few.

Mr Pukwowski said with somany good drivers on the track atonce it will be a battle fest for thefans.

The 248 Global challenge willattract lot of drivers from all partsof the country.

Mr Pukowski said the meetingwill start at 6pm, and advises fansto get there early to get the bestseats.

WINNING WAYS: Whakatane’s Tony Rees (Honda CBR1000), with another Paeroa win under his wheelsin 2014. PHOTO: ANDY MCGECHAN

by ANDYMCGECHAN,www.BikesportNZ.com ‘We can all ride

through oil and cementdust, but this is a fastand dangerous trackas it is, without havingoil on the surface.’TONYREES

It has been a long time betweendrinks for Bay of Plenty’s TonyRees and that just made it allthe sweeter when he won theFormula One class at Paeroa’sannual Battle of the Streets onSunday.

The Whakatane man firstwon the premier title at Paeroamore than 20 years ago, but the46-year-old is now celebratinghis eighth big win there afterclinching the trophy atSunday’s 23rd annual runningof the iconic event.

It’s probably fair to say thatRees does not need a street mapfor the town of Paeroa . . . heknows his way around therevery well indeed.

Rees (on his Honda RiderInsurance-supported CBR1000)crossed the line at the end ofthe 10-lap race ahead of NewPlymouth’s Hayden Fitzgeraldand Aucklander Ray Clee.

The day at Paeroa was cutshort because of safetyconcerns when oil wasaccidentally dumped on thepublic street course during oneof the sidecars races, whichmeant there was no chance forany comeback by Rees’ rivals,but, as the Honda man pointedout, he was feeling very strongand comfortable on the bikeand a second win was alwaysvery likely anyway.

‘‘Hayden was on pole, but Igrabbed the holeshot at thestart of the race,’’ Rees said

‘‘I opened up a bit of a gap

but then Hayden and Raycaught me up. I managed to puta back-marker between me andthem and that gave me an

advantage at the finish.‘‘I was looking forward to

having another race.‘‘There may have been a few

disgruntled spectators with theaction being reduced to just onerace per class. We can all ridethrough oil and cement dust(that is used to mop up spilledoil), but this is a fast anddangerous track as it is,without having oil on thesurface.

‘‘We didn’t have a fatalityand everyone went home at theend of the day. That’s whatmatters.

‘‘We can all live to fightanother day.’’

The next day of fighting forRees and his superbike rivalswill be at round three of theNew Zealand SuperbikeChampionships at TaupoMotorsport Park on March 23,that third round including theNew Zealand TT title races.

The national championshipwraps up with a double-headerfourth and final round atManfeild Park, on the outskirtsof Feilding, on March 29-30.

Light technologyBy Colin Smith

POWERSAVING: TheBMW LaserLight combinesunparalleledperformanceand safety with ahigh level ofefficiency andexceptionalcompactness.

BMW will be the first manufacturerworldwide to offer a productionvehicle equipped with headlamps

featuring a completely new laser lightconcept.

The laser light technology — firstpresented at the 2011 FrankfurtInternational Motor Show — will beoptional equipment on the new BMW i8plug-in hybrid sports car from mid-2014.

The standard version of the BMW i8 isequipped with high-intensity, energy-efficient full LED headlamps, while theoptional laser boost feature additionallyensures a high beam range of up to 600metres.

This means that the already highillumination range of the modern LED highbeam is doubled. Thanks to the new lasertechnology, it is possible to increase energyefficiency by a further 30 per cent comparedwith already highly power-saving LEDlight.

In addition to lowering powerrequirement, BMW Laser Light illuminatesthe road ahead with a significantly higherlight intensity without heating up thesurrounding area.

Laser diodes are 10 times smaller thanconventional light diodes and help to saveinstallation space inside the headlamp and

also weight.The size of the reflector surface can be

reduced by a factor of up to ten versus LEDlight and the height of the reflector has nowbeen reduced from the previous 9cm to lessthan 3cm.

The light of a laser headlamp isextremely bright, similar to daylight, whichis perceived by the human eye as pleasant.Several high-performance diodes emit astrongly bundled beam via special lensesonto a fluorescent phosphorus substanceinside the headlamp.

This substance transforms the beam intoan exceptionally bright white light that isten times more intensive than conventionallight sources. Due to their highly intensiveand virtually ideal beam properties, laserdiodes render the overall system even moreefficient.

In conjunction with the camera-aideddigital high beam assistant, dazzling ofoncoming traffic or vehicles ahead isreliably eliminated.

These properties make BMW Laser Lightthe ideal light source for the main beam of avehicle. It combines unparalleledperformance and safety with a high level ofefficiency and exceptional compactness. Itsoutstanding range facilitates improvedillumination and even better visibilitywhen driving in the dark. As a result, itensures a relaxed and comfortable drivingexperience and enhanced road safety.

ON THE RISE: Porsche sales in New Zealand are running at record levels ahead of thearrival of the new Macan sports SUV due in June.

Porsche range popularPorsche recorded its best ever sales result

in New Zealand for a single month inJanuary 2014, with sales of 44 new cars.

The result represents an increase of 12.8per cent over the previous biggest month(January 2005) and a 33 per cent increase overJanuary 2013.

The monthly sales record was achievedwith a mix of all models across the Porscherange led by the Cayenne range with 27 salesand the 911 — including recently introducedPorsche 911 Turbo, 911 GT3 and 911 50thAnniversary edition models — with 11.

The record result reflects the desirabilityof the Porsche range among New Zealandbuyers.

This year is forecast to be a big year forPorsche with the introduction of Germanmarque’s fifth model line — the Macan sportsSUV in June.

‘‘It’s a great start to the year for the officialPorsche network and fantastic to see that asthe market grows, more New Zealanders arechoosing to drive a Porsche. New Zealanderslove sports cars and this is shown by thestrong demand for the 911 GT3 and Turbomodels,’’ says Greg Clarke, general managerEuropean Motors Limited (Porsche NewZealand).

Porsche will also be preparing tointroduce the new 911 Targa and 911 TurboCabriolet models in the first half of 2014.
