In the dead of the night 70 years ago, more than 1,000 Japanese men stormed the barbed wire perimeter fences of Cowra prisoner of war camp in central NSW.

Armed with improvised weapons including baseball bats and sharpened kitchen knives, hundreds of Japanese prisoners overcame machine gun posts in what would become the biggest POW escape of World War II.

The mass breakout at the detention camp on August 5, 1944 resulted in a 10-day manhunt as Australian soldiers and police searched for hundreds of armed escapees roaming the Cowra countryside, 300km west of Sydney.

This Japanese prisoner of war was one of hundreds who were injured or killed when they tried to escape from the Cowra camp in central NSW in August 1944 - it was to become the biggest breakout of World War II

Japanese prisoners who overcame the machine gun fire of Australian soldiers threw hundreds blankets and clothes over the camp's barbed wire surroundings in a bid to escape

A total of 359 Japanese prisoners escaped and the death toll reached 231 in the days following, including 31 suicides and 12 who perished in huts they had set on fire themselves.

Police say solution to problem of stock on roads lies in partnership, not blame Friday, 22 August 2014 - 11:58am

Waikato

Waikato Police are urging land owners to check the integrity of their fences and gates and motorists to ensure their vehicles are up to warrant of fitness standard following a number of crashes and near misses this week.

District Road Policing Manager, Inspector Freda Grace, said the week started with a driver being seriously hurt in a two car collision with a cow in rongo near Kopu early on Monday morning.

"Then on Tuesday morning another driver was seriously hurt when his car collided with a car on SH2 between Ngatea and Kerephi shortly after 3am."

"If that wasn't of enough concern our staff, animal control officers and concerned members of the public also had to deal with a number of other incidents to try and prevent further road trauma."

Those incidents include;

6-10 sheep on SH23/ Manukau Rd Raglan about midday on Sunday. A cow on SH2 near Steen Rd Waitakaruru about 2pm Sunday. Four cows wandering from Island Block Rd on to SH1 at Meremere about 4pm Sunday. A large sheep on SH27 at Patetonga about 4.15pm Sunday. A cow running along Old Tauranga rd near Waihi about 8am on Monday. Five cows loose on SH1 at Ohinewai about 4.30pm on Monday. Seven large cows on Bush Rd near Ngatea about 6.30am Monday. A large deer on SH29 on the west side of the Kaimai summit about 9.45am on Monday. Three sheep on the road on SH25 near Whitianga at 12.20pm on Monday. 10-15 cows walking along Waitomo Caves Rd about 4.20am Monday. A cow on SH3 near Ohaupo about 11am Tuesday. Three goats on the Thames Coast Rd about midday on Thursday. Two cows on SH3 near Airport Rd, Rukuhia about 6.35am Friday.

"In addition to these we've had about half a dozen incidents of dogs on rural highways over the same period including two incidents where the animals have had to be put down.

"In each incident there was the potential for serious injuries or worse being suffered and Police are very appreciative of motorists taking the time to notify authorities of potential risks and in many cases, making efforts to usher stock back into paddocks before accidents occur."

If Fort Knox isnt what you need for a garden fence, consider something edible, instead of the usual cedars, boxwood, privet, or forsythia.

A dense planting of fruit- or nut-bearing shrubs or small trees is a beautiful, ecofriendly choice, offering privacy, providing the bees with nectar, and the birds and you, if youre quick enough with delicious produce.

Europeans have been planting rows of edibles for centuries, says Mary Ann Van Berlo, a certified master gardener in Ottawa. Unlike most North American homeowners, Europeans dont share our addiction to interlocking brick, pressure-treated lumber fences and green lawns. In England, homeowners often plant gooseberries and currants to delineate property lines, and Van Berlo is starting to see a shift toward this with younger Canadian homeowners. Theyre very interested in backyard food production, she says. They want to know what theyre eating, and if they grow it themselves, they know.

Klaus Tiessen, of Glen Echo Nursery in Caledon, Ont., has been in the plant and landscape business for more than 50 years, and has seen an uptick in fruit-tree sales, especially cherries, for the blossoms and the fruit. A trend that has come from Europe, just last year, is the $10 fruit tree; the price lets people put in fruit hedges, he says.

According to Tiessen, his supplier, Winkelmolen Nursery of Linden, Ont., is barely keeping up with the demand for 60-centimetre, $10 apple, cherry, plum, pear trees.

Its a trend that started in Germany and Holland they sold 20,000 little fruit trees last year and is going to be big here, very soon, he predicts.

But before you start digging, consider these factors:

Patience: It takes three to five years for most fruit-bearing shrubs, vines, and trees to establish, fill out, and bear fruit. Asparagus takes five years; nut trees need seven to 10 years.

Purpose: What is its function? Are you visually delineating an area, creating privacy or a windbreak? To discourage trespassing, go for prickly varieties: blackberries, raspberries, stinging nettles. For something more open, a border of asparagus is delicate and soft. To create a wind barrier, think of a row of tall shrubs, such as serviceberry, Nanking cherry or hazelnut.

Plant for the right conditions: For a shady spot, think fiddleheads (ostrich ferns). Sunflowers and sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes) are good choices for sunny, dry areas theyre tough, drought-tolerant, can grow upward of three metres and with time, as the plants spread and mature, youll be able to harvest more, while still maintaining a lush screen.

Shrubs: Edible fences make well-fed neighbours

NEW YORK Astros owner Jim Crane thinks his management team and one of the games best agents will be able to bury the hatchet.

Crane talked briefly with two VIPs in front of the visiting third-base dugout on Tuesday afternoon at Yankee Stadium: Tigers Woods and Casey Close

Close, the agent to Dexter Fowler who also advised unsigned Astros draft picks Brady Aiken and Jacob Nix, is a leading figure at Excel Sports Management, which represents Woods.

Ill go up and talk to him tonight, Crane said. Well go and visit a little bit. But Im not going to be dealing with Casey Close. Thats Jeffs (general manager Jeff Luhnows) job. I know who he is, and weve talked once or twice, but Im not dealing with contracts. Thats not my job.

Close had some very strong words about Astros management leading up to this years deadline to sign draft picks, when all of Aiken (the first overall pick), Nix (fifth round) and Mac Marshall (21st round) went unsigned as questions about Aikens throwing elbow arose.

A grievance was filed by the players union over alleged impropriety by the Astros.

Im not going to stand for it, the families arent going to stand for it, and frankly, Major League Baseball shouldnt stand for it, Close told Jim Callis of MLB.com about the Astros conduct in the days leading to the July 18 deadline. Its mind-boggling to me that other clubs wouldnt be appalled.

Nix had an agreement with the team and passed his physical. But Aikens deal fell through and created the potential for penalties had the Astros signed Nix without inking Aiken. The Astros did not honor the agreement with Nix, an agreement the Chronicle was told was only verbal.

I think itll be fine. Every deal is different, and you know, unfortunately that one didnt work out, and we did the best we could, Crane said. And he did the best he could, and we couldnt get a deal. Its unfortunate for everybody.

Crane said he hoped change to MLBs draft setup would come out of this years draft.

SUNNYVALE -- Police are on the lookout for vandals they say used paint to deface cars, fences, sidewalks and the roadway along Santa Rosa Avenue late Sunday night.

Police said when officers responded to the neighborhood Monday morning, 16 cars had paint on them, and an additional four vehicle owners reported through the department's online reporting system that their cars had also been vandalized. Police added, however, that many of the cars did not sustain permanent damage, and the paint was removable.

Some residents told officers of a string of ongoing vandalism that had been happening in the neighborhood, including cars being scratched and tires being slashed. Officers have increased patrol in the neighborhood, but so far, no suspects have been caught.

Police have asked that if residents see more evidence of vandalism to contact the department at 408-730-7100.

Sunnyvale: Police looking for suspects who splashed paint on cars, fences, road

CHICO >> Colorful chalk messages, bright smiling faces and wrought-iron fences were part of the first day of school on some of the Chico Unified School District campuses Monday.

The first day of school found CUSD Superintendent Kelly Staley playing a helper role at Chapman School.

Staley was shuttling documents around the campus Monday morning. She said all of the district administrators were assigned to a school to help in whatever way they could.

The superintendent said she saw lots of parents and "lots of smiling, happy children. It's a happy place."

The district is tentatively hoping there might be a slight rise in enrollment this year.

Staley said if the student population does climb, it could be because of the "transitional kindergarten" program. This is the third year of the program that allows 4-year-olds to attend what amounts to "pre-kindergarten."

Students in the transitional program will have two years in kindergarten. She said the popularity of the program has grown each year.

Across town at Pleasant Valley High School, students arrived on campus to find something that if done at other times, in different places, using different tools, would not have been the source of happiness.
