www.westernleader.co.nz Friday, October 29, 2010 Returning Rooster: Former Kiwis prop Peter Brown is back at Eden Park for the first time since the 1988 Rugby League World Cup final. Photo: JASON OXENHAM League son returns By TUREI MACKEY PLAYING on the hallowed ground of Eden Park is exceptional for any sportsman. It’s even rarer for a rugby league player. But Peter Brown has the distinction of playing his code at the famous rugby union stadium. The former Te Atatu Rooster was one of the starting front-rowers for the Kiwis in the 1988 Rugby League World Cup final against Australia – the only time league has been played at Eden Park. The 48-year-old will return on November 6 to watch the Kiwis take on Australia. The night will act as a Four Nations double-header with England playing Papua New Guinea before the transtasman clash. It’s the first international event at the revamped venue. Brown hasn’t been to a match at Eden Park since the 1988 world cup final. ‘‘I don’t really follow union or cricket so I basically had no reason to go there in the past,’’ he says. ‘‘But the stadium certainly captures your eye so hopefully there is a big crowd on the night.’’ Brown is honest about the 25-12 loss to the Aussies in 1988. ‘‘They kicked our butts but that wasn’t unusual back in those days. ‘‘We just weren’t on our game and I think the occasion got to some of the boys a bit.’’ The Kiwis were seen as real contenders to Australia’s crown in the late 80s but a raft of player changes brought an end to that dream. ‘‘Around 1986 when I made the side there was an established team with guys like Mark Graham, the Sorenson brothers and Olsen Filipaina. ‘‘By 1987 they were starting to retire so we had a team of young guys like Gary Freeman, Mark Horo and the Iro brothers,’’ he says. Brown hopes the modern-day Kiwis will level the score against the Kangaroos but knows it will be just as tough as it was in his day. ‘‘We will be stronger in the forwards but Australia will be tough since they produce elite sides all the time.’’ Fresh From the Farmer * 30 covered stalls * Strawberries, vegetables, olive oil, cheese, smoked fish, free range eggs, meat, chocolate, flowers and much more... * Live music on the Lawn * Free Parking in the Vineyard ➤ BE IN TO WIN The Western Leader has two double passes to the Four Nations double-header, sitting in the new south stand, to give away.

Green Bay School student Helen Wu’s essay, The Waitakere Volcano, took first prize in the student historical research category as well as overall best essay in the recent JT Diamond writing competition. It beat about 30 entries from student and adult writers. Helen picked the topic after reading how the Waitakere area was formed by a volcano 20 million years ago. Her essay describes areas where the volcano’s effects are visible today like Piha’s Lion Rock. At 2000 words long, Helen says it’s one of the biggest pieces she’s ever written. ‘‘The teachers helped me craft it, and the librarian helped me with research. I do find volcanoes quite interesting,’’ she says. Diamond winner: Helen Wu of Green Bay School is only 12 but she took the top prize in the JT Diamond Essay competition, beating many adult writers as well as other students.

The Planet Kids kindergarten was destroyed in an arson attack on October 2. The building caught fire after a pile of rubber mats and brushwood fencing was set alight underneath an outside stairwell. The flames quickly engulfed the entire structure. It took about 15 fire trucks and 40 firefighters an hour to control the blaze. Constable Chris Blake from the Henderson police wants to hear from anyone who can help. Call the Henderson station on 839-0600 or the anonymous Crimestoppers hotline on 0800-555-111 if you have any information. 3 Starr stoked but soaked By NICOLA MURPHY Making After the Waterfall involved a shower scene which turned out to be a chilly experience. ‘‘We were at this house in Piha and the owners had gone away and turned the hot water off so it was absolutely freezing the whole time,’’ Mr Starr says. Director Simone Horrocks says she was impressed by Mr Starr and how far he immersed himself in the role. He grew a beard for the part and relished the anonymity it gave him. But Mr Starr says he doesn’t want to sound ungrateful for his roles on Outrageous Fortune and the support from fans. ‘‘It’s great to be part of a show with an audience like that.’’ There will be a free screening of After the Waterfall at Westgate Cinemas on November 3 at 7pm. It is a thank you from the filmmakers to the Piha residents who supported making the movie. Free tickets are limited, email rosie@show downproductions.co.nz to book a seat. ● The Western Leader has a double pass to After the Waterfall to give away.

Photo: JASON OXENHAM 9am on November 1. Antony Starr’s memories of shooting his first lead in a feature film include being cold and wet. He says starring in After the Waterfall was a fantastic experience despite this. The 35-year-old plays John Drean, a father grieving the disappearance of his four-yearold daughter Pearl. The movie will be released in Rialto and Bridgeway Cinemas on November 4. Mr Starr says he didn’t feel too much pressure going into the film which was shot in five weeks in various locations around west Auckland including Piha and New Lynn. He squeezed it in between filming seasons five and six of the television series Outrageous Fortune in which he plays twins Van and Jethro West. ‘‘Apparently it takes a couple of minutes to get over just seeing me as Van and Jethro when watching the movie,’’ he says.

Leah Hickey is only 13 but she knows all of the words to You Make the Whole World Smile, which was a number one hit back in 1992. Leah has spina bifida and receives support from Cure Kids – the organisation that is bringing back Red Nose Day on November 19. The Swanson School student was recently invited to be part of Anika Moa’s recording of the song for the 2010 campaign. ‘‘I went with Cure Kids ambassadors to meet Anika Moa and record a video for Red Nose Day with her. It was a long day but it was cool. We had to wear a red nose and dance with Anika, it was a lot of fun. I loved being a part of the day and meeting Anika and her band.’’ Leah lives in Massey and was born with a lump on her spine. Tests revealed she had spina bifida, a birth defect which occurs when the spinal cord doesn’t develop properly. She also had a heart defect and had an operation at just 11 months old to fix it. In the lead-up to Guy Fawkes night city councils and police are reminding the public that there are fireworks bans in public spaces. Fireworks and bonmy knees.

Glen Eden stream ranger Tony Phillips says the Twin Streams event will be a hands-on way for the community to learn how to be more self sufficient. ‘‘There’ll be lots of information on hand about sustainable living and lots of free food.’’ He says it’s easier than people think to live sustainably. ‘‘We wanted to do this event to show people how easy it was and we take you through the process step-by-step.’’ The workshop held at the orchard on Lucinda Place, Glen Eden, will cover planting fruit trees. Speed date: Molly Fausett-O’Connor, Rhiannon Leader, Grace Burton-McKeich and Estee Wrightson-Beresford from Bruce McLaren Intermediate listen to writing tips from author Paula Green. Photo: JASON DORDAY Young scribes speed date to learn authors’ methods By CATHERINE HEALY Four of Bruce McLaren Intermediate’s most talented scribes spent last Friday ‘‘speed dating’’ authors. Estee Wrightson-Beresford, Grace Burton-McKeich, Molly Faussett-O’Connor and Rhiannon Leader were selected to attend the event by teacher Geoff Emmitt. The year 7 and 8 students were among a group of 50 students from 10 schools across Auckland invited to the event. It was organised by the New Zealand Book Council and held at the National Library’s new Auckland Centre in Parnell. Auckland writers Paula Green, Lyn Kriegler, Brian Falkner, Jennifer Beck, Selina Tusitala-Marsh and John Parker each had 20 minutes of coaching time with the students. They covered everything from poetry to story topics. ‘‘Hopefully it will reinforce the excitement they have for writing and open their eyes to different styles,’’ Mr Emmitt says. ‘‘It’s an opportunity to talk to people who are making a living from writing. It shows there is a purpose to it.’’ Molly Faussett-O’Connor, 13, was enthusiastic about the day out. ‘‘I’ve always wanted to be a journalist and write stuff in the paper,’’ she says. Book Council chief executive Noel Murphy says previous events had proven fun and stimulating for the students involved. ‘‘This kind of contact with authors is extremely motivating for children to do more creative writing, and to explore and enjoy more in their reading,’’ Mr Murphy says. COSMETICS WAREHOUSE SALE LOCATION: 40B MORRIN ROAD, MT WELLINGTON ‘‘We cover preparing the ground, composting, mulching and companion planting,’’ Mr Phillips says. Eight types of trees will be planted at the orchard workshops including macadamia and plum trees. Mr Phillips says the family friendly event will also feature live music, free food and a weta hotel. The weta hotel consists of small habitats made from recycled materials which provide ideal conditions for wetas. It aims to educate people about the insects and show them that wetas aren’t scary. ‘‘Waicare will also talk about water testing and the creatures that live in the stream,’’ Mr Phillips says. The workshop will run from 10am to 1pm this Sunday. COLLECTORS NEEDED! We are looking for ‘angels’ to help collect over the three days of our appeal, Friday 12, Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 November.

Ford Australia was dithering about building a new V8 engine for the Falcon, so niche performance brand, Ford Per- formance Vehicles, went ahead and built one anyway. The result of the $A40 million project is a stunning new supercharged 5.0litre V8 engine that is superior in every way possible to the motor it replaces – the 5.4 that Ford was forced to quit making when it could no longer meet new emission rules. ‘‘Forty-three per cent of the components are made in Australia,’’ says FPV general manager, Rod Barrett, as he lifts SUMMER SAVERS 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER TI $ 36,995 wine metallic, 4.0 ltr petrol, 7 seater, leather/ electric seats.

RECREATIONAL AND LIGHT COMMERCIAL SPECIALISTS Finance available to approved purchasers, normal lending criteria applies 8 www.westaucklandnissan.co.nz 3077071AE up the bonnet of the new GT sports-sedan to display the new Boss 335, ‘‘and the engine is 100 percent assembled here in a factory located a block to the north of here (FPVs head office in Campbellfield, Melbourne).’’ Compare this state-oforigin with that of the 6.2 litre Chevy LS3 V8 used by FPVs arch-rival, HSV, which is imported fully built up from North America. FPV’s new engine was developed using the new 5.0 litre Coyote V8 that Ford developed for the Mustang as a starting point, but essentially only retains the Mustang mover’s basic all-alloy architecture and the layout of the doubleoverhead-cam, fourvalves-per-cylinder valvetrain. Just about everything inside has been revised and changed, then capped by a new induction system headlined by the supercharger developed and made by Harrop Engineering in Melbourne. The result is an engine that is nearly 50kg lighter than the 5.4 it replaces, yet delivers more power and torque over a wider rev range, and uses less fuel in the process. Besides meeting the new Euro 4 emission targets demanded by Australian Design Rules for engines built after June 1, 2010, the real achievement of this new V8 is the more compact and efficient packaging. As Barratt says: ‘‘It sure fits in the car better now.’’ By that he means it can be mounted quite a bit lower than the old 5.4, which used a longstroke cast-iron cylinder block that suited Ford’s original intentions to use it in large SUVs and pick-up trucks. Heading north from the FPV head office into twisting roads that traverse the Dandenong Ranges, its immediately apparent what that lighter, lower engine does to improve the GT’s handling. Such is the immediate response of the car to the tiller, this could be some compact little hot-hatchback that we’re driving. One big change FPV had to make to the Mustang V8 was the addition of a drive to the crankshaft to power the oil pump for a Falcon’s hydraulically-assisted steering (Mustang’s wheel is electricallyassisted). It ensures the GTs wheel retains the road feel that makes Aussie V8 sports-saloons such inspiring cars to drive. Combine this quality to the more evenly-distributed chassis balance the lighter engine permits, the supple ride quality that FPVs are valued for, and sticky road-holding that’ll generate more than 1g of lateral force before the wellsorted stability control chimes in to rescue the tyres, and you have an Aussie sports-saloon that’s capable of dishing out servings of driving pleasure as generous as any German alternative. If this is a poorer mans Audi RS5 or BMW M3, it certainly doesn’t sound that way from the driver’s seat. A flap opens in the GT’s exhaust when throttle pressure dictates, allowing the Coyotederived engine to really growl. The trademark rumble of the V8 can then be heard in all its glory, as until the flap opens the endearing whine of the supercharger dominates the engine noises heard inside the cabin. NZ prices have yet to be announced for the new V8-powered FPVs, but Australian marketing positions the GS models at several thousands less than the F6 models. A supercharged V8 for less than a turbosix? Now there’s a proposition that many fans of Aussie muscle cars will find hard to resist. Road-user charge madness for MIni Easily the most fuel and cost efficient car on the AA Energywise Rally the other week, was the diesel Mini entered by BMW New Zealand. So why didn’t it win overall? It didn’t because of road user charges (RUCs). The frugal little Mini’s drivers had pay up more for RUCs to cover the Auckland-Wellington-Auckland drive than they did for fuel. Surely proof that we’re actively discouraged from driving some of the cleanest, most frugal cars by this arcane system.

Ace Kiwi-born racing and drifting personality Rhys Millen has been entrusted with the task of modifying Hyundai’s flagship sedan with his ‘Racer’s Signature’ components for November’s Las Vegas annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show. Born in New Zealand in 1972, Rhys is the son of famed rally and offroad racer Rod Millen. He established himself as a racer by taking first place at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in the Open Division and winning Rookie of the Year. He won the Formula Drift championship in 2005 and the Red Bull Drifting World Championship in 2008. Millen’s driving credentials also include movie stunts, but he says that much of his success in the driver’s seat is as a result of the work of his team of engineers and fabricators that know how to maximise the potential of car. Which is why Millen and his team were headhunted for Hyundai’s SEMA projects. The SEMA show was originally set-up as a purely after-market salon for tuners and customisers. So popular has the show become that now main manufacturers are using SEMA each year to give new concepts real world DIRECT FROM JAPAN - NO MIDDLE MAN 2005 Mazda MPV 103,000km, great family vehicle 88,000km, gas saver, 2002 Nissan March 66,000km, 1400cc, $13,990 looks great in black $8,990 gas saver 2004 Mitsubishi Diamante Great for long drives, low k’s 2003 Mazda Demio $8,990 2002 Nissan Serena 2003 Honda Odyssey (New shape), great 8 seats, 2000cc, $6,990 out the door at $9,990 looking 7 seater, selling for $13,990 OVER 100 VEHICLES AVAILABLE All vehicles plus on road cost VEHICLE IMPORTERS 3159274AE Best prices in town - $500-$1000 FREE FUEL on selected vehicles 86 Railside Ave, Henderson (Ex Nissan Perrys Yard).

Of New Zealand’s 16 regions, Auckland’s population grew at the fastest rate in the June 2010 year, according to figures released by Statistics New Zealand this week. In the June 2010 year, Auckland’s population grew by 23,300 (1.6 percent) and it was the only region with a growth rate above the 1.2 percent national average. The population of the Waitakere region rose 1.8 percent. Natural increase (excess of births over deaths) was the main contribution to Auckland’s growth. The other main factor was New Zealand’s net rise in migration, as fewer people left the country permanently. Postage savings exposure. Millen’s RMR Signature Edition Equus is using the show to test public reaction to a series of modifications that could reach production Equus models, including exterior, interior and performance upgrades that will enhance the already luxurious sedan which arrives on the US market in standard form later in the year. ‘‘This is the third consecutive year we’ve partnered with Hyundai to bring a must-see car to the SEMA Show,’’ says Millen. ‘‘The ’luxury platform of the new rearwheel drive Equus is a perfect vehicle for tuners who have graduated from other segments and want to work with the best the automotive industry has to offer.’’ The Equus will showcase exterior RMR Signature Edition components including carbon mirrors, and front chin and rear deck spoilers. A two-tone carbon fibre and Red Bull Racing blue satin clear paint by BASF and HRE 21-inch P40 wheels will appropriately round out the exterior. Millen’s tuners aim to enhance the stock 290kW V8 engine, with a bolt-on RMR Signature Edition air intake and stainless exhaust that together will add another 20kW. The RMR Signature Equus will also feature a 14-inch brake kit designed to stop the car just as quickly as it goes. After the SEMA show, it’s back to racing as Hyundai and Rhys Millen Racing have announced they are participating in rounds two and three of the US Rallycross Championship where Millen is piloting a Hyundai Rally car specifically developed for the World Rally Championship.

Vegies to sow in November Pumpkin Buttercup: Buttercup is the compact pumpkin for the small family. Bred more than 80 years ago, Buttercup has won awards for its sweet, dry flesh and its good colour. A thin green outer shell protects the contrasting bright orange interior. Unlike most other pumpkins, Buttercup grows on a compact plant that wont attempt to take over the entire garden. Sow three or four seeds into sunny mounds and, after germination, keep only the two strongest plants. Sage (pictured): Sage is a mem- ber of the large salvia family, many of which are popular ornamentals. But the sage that’s found in Yates seed range is grown for its ability to add flavour in the kitchen, for its healing properties and for its natural germ-killing properties. An infusion of sage helps reduce the symptoms of colds and the flowers and aromatic leaves are said to attract good insects like pollinating bees and repel some of the nasties. Feed in November Feed young tomatoes as they are growing. Thrive Flower & Fruit is a good choice as its high in potassium, which helps build disease resistance. But, because Thrive Flower & Fruits is applied as a liquid, it needs to be re- applied every couple of weeks. Sprinkle Dynamic Lifter pellets around the plants as well to supply longer-lasting goodness. Prune in November Pinch out new growth tips on shrubs and perennials. This way, they’ll produce multiple shoots that will develop thicker growth and a better-looking bush. Cut back climbers - like clematis, honeysuckle and jasmine - that flowered earlier in spring.
