Cat owner concerned pet deliberately killed Barbara Gillham A heartbroken woman is concerned her cat was deliberately dunked in anti-freeze, as similar reports emerge.

Sandra Cumming’s three year-old cat, Cosmo, returned home two weeks ago with a green liquid over its face, front legs and down his throat. Despite attempts to clean it off the cat was found to have creatinine levels in its blood 180 times more

than it should. It was the second “Cats like anti-freeze apparently, time the cat had come home with so we are still not sure if it was acthe liquid on it, however the seccidental poisoning or a deliberate ond time was much more severe attack. But four cats suffering the and it looked as if it had its head same fate seem a bit too coinciin it for some time. dental,” she says.

Sandra’s vet recommended CosSPCA inspector Craig Crowley mo be put down. says anti-freeze poisoning does Sandra After calling the police and SPCA happen from time to time. “UnCumming.

Sandra says she was told of three fortunately cats do love anti-freeze other recent incidents, all similar to hers. so it’s difficult to know if it’s a deliberate at-

What makes Cosmo’s case a little different is the quantity he was covered in, which is what raised Sandra’s suspicions about it being a deliberate attack. However, her main concern now is to warn people to dispose of or store any anti freeze they have carefully, so no animal can get into it. And if anyone has a cat that comes home covered in green liquid don’t waste any time, get it to the vet.

Four new bus shelters have just been constructed as the council continues to increase the infrastructure of the city’s bus service.

Two brand new shelters have been erected on Annesbrook Dr, one on the “outward journey of Main Rd Stoke” and one outside Trafalgar Park, although the latter is not on an official hourly SBL Group Nelson route.

The bus shelter outside Trafalgar Park was part of the stadium’s upgrade and the school travel plan, as requested by students of Clifton Terrace School. Nelson City Council transport and road safety advisor Margaret Parfitt says the shelters, which are constructed each year in high demand areas pointed out by SBL, are another “baby step” BETTER PROTECTION: One of the new bus shelters built on towards improving the city’s bus service.

Phillip Rollo Three mysterious Nelson teenagers are doing their best to spread some happiness via a Facebook page titled Nelson Compliments.

With already more than 2100 friends on the social networking website, the Nelson Compliments page is reaching out to all the corners of the region.

Nelson Compliments works by private messaging the admin a compliment about someone you know who someone deserves a special mention or congratulations and the trio make it their status.

The group’s founders, who have remained anoymous since the page’s inception in 2009, were inspired by the gossip and negativity that is often

seen between teenagers. “We wanted people to have an anonymous way to make someone’s day,” says one of administrators of the page. “Everyone deserves a compliment!”

The three creators, two girls and one boy, are all former Nayland College students who finished in 2009.

The page has also sparked similar concepts around New Zealand including a popular postquake Christchurch Compliments page.

The compliments include anything from someone helping out a friend to just thanking their partner. “If we can brighten the lives of one person each day, we are happy. We want to remind people of the happiness that kindness can bring.”

To find the group search Nelson Compliments on www.facebook.com.

NEWS IN BRIEF Waterfront makeover nearing completion • Nelson Provincial Museum is encouraging local residents to enjoy their regional history by reducing barriers to attendance and making its permanent exhibition free. The museum announced the decision last week and it will mean Nelson and Tasman ratepayers will have free access to the natural and social history of Te Tau Ihu. Locals will be asked to show some evidence they live here, such as a library card.

• Drivers under 20 are now not able to consume any alcohol before driving. The new law came into effect on Sunday and the penalty will be a fine of $200 and 50 demerit points.

Youth drivers with a blood/breath alcohol concentration over 0.03 or 150 will be subject to the same drink drive penalties as they are now. This year alone, 84 drivers in Nelson Bays aged between 15-19 years have been charged with drink driving offences.

Nelson’s waterfront continues to transform, giving locals and tourists the best possible viewing of Nelson Haven.

Work on the latest stage of the development, which has been more than ten years in the making, is due for completion at the end of the month.

Andrew Petheram, of Nelson City Council, says the latest platform was designed in conjunction with the Nelson Yacht Club and will provide fantastic viewing as boats come in and out of Haven. The project is the third stage of four and has cost ratepayers $750,000.

The design includes plenty of places for people to sit, stairs to the rocky beach below and penguin hatches under the deck to help stop them walking across Rocks Rd.

USA parade and party will highlight Richmond Festival While Nelson transforms itself to Little Italy for the Rugby World Cup, Richmond is turning its Queen St into Main Street, USA. Richmond has a number of strong links with the United States, including having one of its home town heroes amongst the US rugby team.

Junior Sifa played several seasons for Waimea Old Boys, Nelson Bays and the Tasman Makos before plying his trade in Europe. It was over there that US, and former Ireland, coach Eddie O’Sullivan found out that Junior was born in American Samoa and eligible for the Eagles.

Richmond also has a number of expats living in the town and some business links.

So, to celebrate those ties, Richmond is climbing into the world cup fun, hosting the Richmond Festival ahead of the USA v Italy game on September 27.

The festival will include the Tasman Invitational Seven’s on Sunday, September 25; a Stars ‘n’ Stripes Block Party which starts with a parade down Queen St and then a party at Sundial Square on Monday, September 26 and an All Star Tailgate Party at the A & P Showgrounds

Local beers win big at awards

before the big game on Tuesday, September 27.

Buses from the tailgate party will be running to the USA v Italy game at Trafalgar Park.

Organiser Paul McConnachie says the three days of action will be huge for Richmond and will have a real community and festival feel.

“It will be an awesome party and we urge all our American friends and people wanting to have a good time to put the dates in their diary and come join us.”

Nelson breweries have cleaned up at the country’s top beer awards, with one brewery bringing home ten medals alone.

Sprig & Fern Brewery earned a gold, six silvers and three bronze medals at the BrewNZ International Beer Awards 2011, with McCashin’s Brewery, Townsend Brewery and Redwood Cellar also amongst the winners.

Overall, Nelson brought home 16 awards out of 130 total medals from the 465 beers entered by New Zealand and international breweries.

The Sprig & Fern won more than any other New Zealand brewery.

One of its owners, Dave Barrett, says it was a “pretty bloody amazing” effort. “To win ten is a pretty big deal, I’m absolutely rapt.”

The annual awards were held in Wellington.

McCashin’s Brewery won a major prize at the awards, picking up International Lager Styles with its Stoke Amber beer.

Dave says the haul by Nelson brewers confirms the region is a force in the national brewing scene. “When you look at the fact there were only 130 awards handed out and more than ten per cent came here, that is a big achievement.”

A few years ago Melrose House was waiting for its demolition orders. Its furniture had been stripped and sold, even its door knobs removed.

But a fight for history prevailed and one of Nelson’s grand old homes survives for all Nelsonians to enjoy.

Now the society that runs the house is launching a book of its history, thanks to local historian Ruth Bayley.

Manager of Melrose House, Simone Henbrey, says the book will be launched this Saturday and people will have the opportunity to find out more about the 140 year-old house.

“A few years ago the house was really run down, it was really sad but there is so much happening here now, a cafe, venue hire. It is in a much better shape.”

The house was commissioned for Charles Willett but upon his death1881 his son-in-law Percy Adams, a local lawyer, took ownership.

Percy was known as a keen hunter and early photos of the houses interior shows plenty of

evidence of his success with a gun.

Percy’s son Noel was handed the house in 1932 after his father died. It was Noel who then gifted the house to the Women’s Division of Federated Farmers in 1945.

It was then used as a rest home for women, with a rule that residents were not allowed up until they had been served breakfast in bed.

In the early 1970’s the house had become too much for the WDFF and ownership was passed to Nelson City Council, which was reluctant to take it on, saying the financial burden should not be passed to the ratepayer.

The Colonel Noel Percy Trust took over the running of the house and fought to keep it when the council decided it should be demolished.

Simone says it’s great to see Nelson take pride in the house again. “The Adams family were so generous, so it’s nice that the house they donated is still here and available for all Nelsonains.”

The book launch is 2pm this Saturday at Melrose Historic House.

Students get taste of the business world It’s business time as the race to be crowned Nelson’s top young enterprise students heats up.

In less than two week’s time, students participating in The Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme will be taking their product to the Saturday market for the YES Trade Fair.

YES is an experiential business programme where secondary students set up a company, create real products or services, and make a real profit or loss.

This is part of the company’s chance to continue promotions, product development and most importantly, making sales, since starting it in term one.

One of the groups featuring in the trade fair will be Nelson College for Girls’ Kiwi Bottles. Kiwi Bottles are stainless steel water bottles.

“We wanted something that helped stopped us-

ing plastic bottles. Our friends are always buying them and just throwing them out after. It’s bad for the environment,” says Seema Coote, 16. “We just wanted a product that you could continue to use for ages.”

The bottles will be sold for $15.

Josie Krischnasamy, 17, says the six months have been hard. “There’s so much paper work.”

But she’s hoping the eco-friendy nature of the product will hopefully attract customers.

“They’re durable and designed to last.”

Other designs include Knock Out sportswear from Nelson College, body mist from Nelson College for Girls, pineapple icecream also from Nelson College for Girls and many others.

The YES Trade Fair will be held at the Nelson Market in Montgomery Square on Saturday August 20 from 8am to 1pm.

The world’s tallest 21st

Phillip Rollo

PARTY ON EVEREST: Nelson man Nick CalderScholes is throwing his birthday party on Mt Everest in October.

There’s no bigger way to spend your 21st birthday than on the tallest mountain on the planet.

So when Nelson man Nick Calder-Scholes weighed up the options to surpass his 20th birthday skydive, there was really only one solution - have a party on Mt Everest.

“I decided that being a 21st it had to not only outdo skydiving but blow any other birthday I’m going to have out of the water.

I mean it’s your 21st, it’s meant to be a big one,” says Nick.

Titled on a Facebook event as Nick’s Casual As 21st, his coming of age will be anything but, as he spends a 13 day journey amongst the Nepalese mammoth highlighted by climbing to the Everest Base Camp, 5300m above sea level.

Nick, a former Nayland College student currently living in Western Australia, is hoping to be joined by friends from Nelson and trekkers he met in India.

But he says no-one really believes it’s true. “I never really thought of it as a ‘far out’ there thing to do. But every

time I mention it, it starts off with disbelief followed by pure amazement. I find it quite funny.”

His journey begins on October 10 and will cost around $4000 including two weeks in Thailand to recover.

“For a 35 day trip to the most badass mountain in the world, it’s not too bad,” he says.

Manufactured friendship, but built to last Andrew Board It may have been set up, but the value of the friendship cannot be underestimated.

Raphaella Carver and Pam Balm met at a difficult time in both their lives, but four months into the friendship and they both say they would not be without it.

Pam, of Bishopdale, is unable to drive after a health relapse gives her dizzy spells which makes it too dangerous. Her taxi driver told her to get in touch with Age Concern and get some discount vouchers, which she did.

But she got far more than taxi vouchers out of the visit.

Age Concern assessed Pam and asked if she would like someone to pop in and spend a few hours a week with her. She says she didn’t want to be a burden, but agreed.

Raphaella, of Monaco, went through her own health problems just after starting the process to be a volunteer in the Age Concern programme. Once she recovered, she went to finish what she started and Age Concern matched the two women.

“I decided to do it mainly because my mum went into a home and my dad was in a rest home and people were supporting him, but they were in Christchurch,” says Raphaella. “So I thought if people are supporting him down there, maybe I could support people in my community.

I’ve found it really valuable, it makes you part of the community and it’s been really rewarding.”

She says they clicked instantly. “We just got

on, it was easy to talk to each other and we age and play sport against each other. do go out and do lots of things.”

Pam says the past few months have been Pam is determined to get her fitness back wonderful. “I wasn’t expecting it but we after her most recent health scare and the just clicked straight away.” pair often walk together. “I used to go to Saxton Field and do the walking track out there so going walking with Raphaella is good because it is building me back up again,” she says.

“I found that before Raphaella came along I didn’t get out all that often, so it’s been lovely meeting Raphaella, we get on so well and have little chuckles.”

Raphaella says Pam’s positivity and having something else to think about has helped her with her own health problems.

“It’s something we forget when we are together, we don’t talk about it, we stay positive, it’s the only way to be. I really enjoy Pam and the relationship and it’s really nice to have the relationship with older people, not in your usual circle of friends.

Most families have that with parents but with ours away we don’t see them that often so it provides a really nice balance for our family.”

The Harbour Master’s

diary

• A quiet week with two container vessels, a big car carrier, a fertiliser ship, a log ship, a cement ship and over 20 large fishing vessel movements.

• There was a brief outage of the outer sector lead light however the port staff promptly repaired at the next low tide ensuring that no shipping was affected.

• It was good to see the paddle-boarders taking advantage of the calm weather and wearing wetsuits or personal floatation devices. Many kayakers and waka were seen about. A reminder that the hours of darkness are officially one half hour before sunset. Lights must be carried and illuminated if you are going to be out after this time.

• The Coastguard boat was out last weekend as it is almost every weekend now, training and completing some difficult exercises. Well done guys. If you are interested in being part of this great community service call me during the week and I will arrange an introduction.

• A yacht owner had a lucky escape this week when a passer-by noticed a whisp of smoke coming from the yacht. Quick action from the fire brigade then averted a possible disaster. Thanks to all involved. I believe a rag, left close to wires that short circuited was close to igniting.

If in doubt- don’t go out.

George Hollinsworth in Resident Evil by Nelson’s TJ Ramsay. It won Best Production of a New Zealand Play 2011 and Best Male Actor for George. Photo: Andrea Seymour Photography.

Nelson puts on a show not to forget From start to finish, behind the scenes and in front of the large, appreciative audiences, the National Final of the New Zealand Theatre Federation’s Festival of Community Theatre held in Nelson over the weekend, was a huge success.

Nelson’s Dramatix Theatre Development Trust, who hosted and organised the event, received special acknowledgment from the members of the New Zealand Theatre Federation Executive and members of visiting teams for ‘a faultlessly organised Festival’ and warm Nelson welcome.

No strangers to organisation, the ‘Trust’ who bring us the annual two day, Lest We Forget ANZAC event, assisted by volunteers from Nelson Repertory, pulled out all the stops to put Nelson in the spotlight for the visiting teams, summed up in the words of one of the Napier Repertory members who said: “after all that travel it was so nice to have such an organised and warm welcome, our own team host to guide us and - look - this absolutely beautiful Theatre to perform in – we’re green with envy!”

After weeks of planning and organisation the Dramatix Trust team, led by Scott Frater, spent a manic weekend setting up for the two nights of competition, looking after the visiting teams and assisting with

the theatre related workshops – as well as finding time to rehearse their own two qualifying plays; ‘Cod of War’ written and Directed by Scott Frater, and ‘A Resident Evil’, written and Directed by TJ Ramsay, both coming away with awards.

‘Cod of War’ received the Friday nights ‘People’s Choice Award’, and the Selecon Design/Technical Award while A Resident Evil won ‘Best Production of a New Zealand Play’ and George Hollinsworth received A ‘Best Male Actor’ Award for his role as the Marquis de Sade.

Overall honours went to the comedy ‘A talk in the Park’ by Invercargill Repertory Society.

A surprising highlight on the last night of the competition was when Dunedin Adjudicator Natalie Ellis-Wilson left the auditorium to make her final decisions and Dan Allen from Body in Space led Theatre Sports utilising several of the youth performers in a series of hilarious impromptu skits. The audience was soon hooting with laughter at the swift-thinking young actors inspired responses to the crowd’s zany story suggestions.

“This is by far one the best Festivals I have been to in years,” says former NZTF president and current president of the NZ Drama Development Trust Jim Barr.

Got a Story?

F Phone us 548 4949 Nelson’s

No.1

Newspaper

2011 is the sixth year that St Barnabas has run The Marriage Course.

Over 100 couples have attended. Here is David and Helen’s story.

If we were asked to name one single event this year that enhanced, enriched and helped our relationship as husband and wife of 25 years, we would have to say that attending The Marriage Course run by St Barnabas Stoke and working through the homework together, was it.

It worked for us in many ways as we planned on a holiday to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Having 6 children we had been unable to get away for an extended period of time since our honeymoon. We missed the last night of the eight session evening programme because of our second honeymoon, but we were able to cover the last topic on our return. To my delight, I discovered that I had been speaking my wife’s love language the entire time we were away on the tropical South Pacific island of Niue. She had 100% of my time.

The benefits of attending such a course are huge, especially for people like us who are not into the group therapy type situation, where you sit around in a circle and discuss private issues, touchy, feely stuff. Attending is like going out on a date, having dessert, watching a DVD presentation, talking with your partner in a relaxed and non-threatening environment, discussing topics which may not normally be approached, dealing with issues and sorting out stuff. It not only benefits you as a couple, but also anyone else who has anything to do with you, because you have grown as a couple through your honesty with each other and become more secure and loving. This fact doesn’t escape the attention of all those around you.

At $90 per couple, the course delivers value for money. We would recommend the course to any couple, married or unmarried, at any stage of their relationship.

The next Marriage Course commences Wednesday 17 August 2011 Phone 547 5631 or email office.stbarnabas@xtra.co.nz for more information or to reserve your place

Printer Cartridge refill myths busted!

Using refilled cartridges voids my warranty.

Wrong! The NZ Commerce Act and the Fair Trading Act states that it is illegal for a manufacturer to require the consumer to use a particular brand of supply. The warranty can only be voided if the cartridge is the primary cause of the fault. In the unlikely event that this should happen our own guarantee covers the customer.

Refills do not last as long as new cartridge.

Wrong! Our remanufactured cartridges are refilled with the equivalent amount of ink to that of the original new cartridges.

Refillers use poor quality inks.

Wrong! At Cartridge World we use quality German Inks that are specifically formulated to mimic the original inks.

We do not use one ink to fill all cartridges. All cartridges have their own specific ink.

Using refills can harm my printer.

Wrong! Refilling is simple refilling an empty ink cavity. We do not alter any of the casing or parts of the cartridge that your printer requires to operate.

Nelson press through to Press Cup final Nelson College first XV have set a grand final date with rivals St Bede’s College after seeing off Christchurch Boys’ High School twice in consecutive matches.

As skipper Mitchell Drummond booted the home side to a 20-18 triumph with only one minute remaining on Saturday. “I was always going to take the kick because of the position we were in but it was do-or-die for our whole season,” says Mitchell. “It was pretty special. When it went over everyone got up.”

But the side’s delight was short lived knowing what awaits them this weekend in the form of the two-time defending champions.

St Bede’s have won every game this year including a 34-20 Northern Conference win over Nelson earlier in the season. Nelson previously won the Press Cup in 2007 when they finished the season undefeated.

Kerehama Barrett scored the opening try and Tyler Morgan-Kearns dotted down later in the game.

Wild Oats sails home to take winter series It was all smooth sailing as Robert Greenwood’s Wild Oats did the job to be crowned overall Winter Series winner on Sunday.

Race six, the final race in the Winter series, was held in a fresh southwest breeze that gusted up to 26 knots when a cold wet front moved through the bay, reminding the ten boats competing they were sailing in the start of August.

Ralph Urwin’s Counterpoint, starting at the Port end of the line, crossed the rest of the fleet coming out on starboard to lead the way up the first beat to the top mark.

The bigger Mrs Jones, sailed by Charlie Gallagher, pulled into the lead half way up the 1.6 mile beat, enjoying the stronger breeze rounding the top mark first followed by Wild Oats

Nelson College for Girls netballers record convincing wins Nelson College for Girls Senior A made every post a winning one when they defeated Motueka High School 48-13.

Nelson Girls displayed superior skill and their experience they gained in the premier grade for round two was evident. Their through court defence was impressive, so much so they forced numerous held ball three second calls on Motueka.

Nelson was without regular shooters Shevaun Collier and Jess Allen who has a season ending knee injury. Reinforcements were in the form of promoted B player Georgia Wright who fitted in nicely at goal shoot. Goal attack Rosa Edwards put in a MVP performance – her court work was impressive while her radar was well and truly switched on as she converted 41 from 42.

Anna Robinson put in some nice feeds while Ruth Swaney was a valuable link through court, while pulling in a number of well timed intercepts.

Caroline Fergusson made an impact off the bench

while Giovanna Martin played a full game after coming back from injury. Caroline and Giovanna made a formidable defensive unit along with Rebecca Reidie when they read play well to create turnover ball.

Nelson Girls 9A fired on all cylinders from the first whistle when they met the promoted Waimea Intermediate 8A team. Nelson bought to the courts what they had learnt from the recent South Island Junior Tournament.

Nelson played a great team game with everyone contributing well to the convincing 33-15 win. Centre, Merekara McGuinetty balanced the court well, proving to be a great link while ensuring good flow through court.

Abbey Franklin displayed experience and maturity at goal attack, using her height well she shot accurately.

Mikaela Collier was the dominate force in the defensive circle, where she picked up some valuable ball and rebounded strongly.

Cobras hiss past Tigers, book place in grand final Phillip Rollo The Stoke Cobras have shown their championship creditials with a commanding 32-18 win over the Tahunanui Tigers at the ‘Snake Pit’ on Saturday.

Currently unbeaten, only a previous 22-22 draw against the Tigers ruining any chance of a perfect season, the Cobras were clear favourites to book the first spot in the grand final after Saturday’s Tasman Rugby League major semi-final, and they did it with authority.

But captain Troy Wilson says the side will need to be ready for a potential round two on August 20 with the Tigers likely to face them again, up against namesakes Motueka Tigers this weekend at the Tahunanui Playing Fields.The winner gaining the second and final spot to challenge for TRL’s top prize. “I’m pretty sure we’ll be seeing them again in the final,” says Troy. “But I’m very confident we can win. Everyone is looking for the same goal and that’s what our plan was at the start of the season, that we’re all on the same page come finals day. We always talk about getting to the final because that’s the only game you want to play. All these other games are all forgotten now.”

The Cobras have a representation of eight play-

ers in the Tasman Titans squad - the most from the five teams - but it was the entire 17 man line up that did the job on Saturday in a commanding second half performance.

Second rower Leialoha Musika was a juggernaut on attack, and despite some early mistakes the defensive line held strong to deny Tahunanui’s impressive halfback Eliot Smith from sparking a late comeback.

“Pressure, pressure” were the only words spoken at half time, with the score sitting at 22-12 in Stoke’s favour, as they looked to force errors upon the Tigers’ attack in the second spell.

And it worked perfectly with the away side unable to complete sets depsite their best efforts.

Troy, the talismatic half, says qualifying for the final is “another dream come true” for the season in which rugby league is starting to stamp it’s mark in the Nelson region.

After the Canterbury earthquake a handful of rugby league players had relocated to the region and teamed up with the Cobras. “They’ve just fit straight in to the mould. It’s a lot easier bringing in guys who have that experience too.”

Tahunanui Tigers play Motueka Tigers at the Tahunanui Playing Fields this Saturday at 2:30pm with the winner qualifying for the final.
