The leader of the opposition will be collecting signatures at Ka Pie Kitsch’n at Nile St from 9.10am before visiting Snapit HD headquarters. His visit is part of an ongoing campaign to “revitalise regional economies” and follows on from an extensive schedule of regional visits that he has undertaken in the past few months. David will be accompanied by MPs Maryan Street and Damien O’Connor. His speech to the pipfruit conference will set out the challenges facing heartland New Zealand and how an active, strong partnership is needed between central government and the regions. He will spend the afternoon in Motueka.

Nelson’s most romantic spot?
Following a string of proposals, one table at the Harbour Light Bistro is being labelled as the ‘unofficial most romantic spot’ in the Nelson region. Harbour Light Bistro is situated on Wakefield Quay, with its most popular table for two looking out to the picturesque view of the Boulder Bank, Haulashore Island and the Port Hills. There have been three proposals at the table over the course of the past 18 months but the romantic history dates much further back. Owner and chef Steve Coyne continues to answer bookings from couples who are seeking a walk down memory lane, sitting at the table they got engaged at many years ago. Those date back to when the restaurant first opened in 1996, after the building was damaged in a house fire. “We’ve had people who have had their tenth wedding anniversary. I don’t ask them too much

about specifics because I’m not nosy, but quite a few people have mentioned that’s where they got engaged,” says Steve. Harbour Light Bistro staff assisted in two of the proposals with the wedding ring being hidden on the dessert plate. Because Steve is busy in the kitchen, he has not witnessed any of the proposals first hand but says the mood amongst restaurant goers and staff is positive. “People who are working come down beaming and everybody is smiling. I don’t think it’s got to the point where they’ve got a standing ovation but I think a lot of people are aware that it has happened.” The “overall package” offered by the Harbour Light Bistro attributes to it being the most romantic spot. “We’re really lucky in Nelson with the quality of restaurants here.”

Arts festival launches new programme news in BRIEF Rosie Thomsen
The Nelson Arts Festival is set to kick off in a whirl of culture, with this year’s programme a “cracker”. More than 70 diverse events, including eight international acts, complete the festival programme which opens Friday October 12 and runs for 17 days. An annual highlight of the event is the famous Masked Parade, which this year falls on Friday October 19, the start of Labour Weekend. Festival director Sophie Kelly says this is an exciting aspect of this year’s event line up, as it will attract visitors to Nelson over the long weekend to witness the spectacle first hand. “One of the largest walking parades in the southern hemisphere, our masked parade is not to be missed. This year the theme is ‘myths and legends’ so you can expect to see thousands of colourful and creative participants of all ages in costumes and masks that will range from Zeus to Aphrodite, to Rangi and Papa,” says Sophie. The annual festival is a celebration of all forms of creativity, a culmination of some of the best in theatre, dance, cabaret, music, workshops, presentations and community events from New Zealand and beyond. Founders Heritage Park, the venue for many of the events in the Nelson Arts Festival programme, will be brought to life with the vintage carnival theme. The
Suter Art Gallery and Theatre Royal will also host its share of the events. The full programme was released on Friday night with a launch at the Refinery Artspace, becoming available to the public on Saturday. Free copies of the detailed programme are available from local businesses and retailers including the Nelson City Council and Everyman Records as well
as libraries, retailers and cafes. More than 22,000 programmes are distributed to these businesses by local volunteers, such as Catherine Mackenzie. “Visitors to the city come along to the events, but the festival is a very community based event and it’s the locals that support it,” says Christine. Visit www.nelsonartsfestival.co.nz for more information or to book tickets.

cAr SEAT chEckS: Nelson Police’s Strategic Traffic Unit conducted an operation last week targeting child restraints in cars. During the operation, which was based in Waverly St in Richmond where there are a number of early childhood centres, 62 vehicles were stopped and checked to ensure the children inside were properly strapped into an appropriate car seat. Officers made adjustments to the way 31 car seats were fitted and issued three tickets. An operation in Motueka had 100 percent compliance and an operation in Nelson City had 61 percent compliance.

Local community groups honoured The committee behind the Mapua Easter Fair has won the Supreme Award at the 2012 TrustPower Nelson Tasman Community Awards. The awards were announced and presented at a function at the Rutherford Hotel last night. The TrustPower Nelson Tasman Community Awards are run in conjunction with the Nelson City and Tasman District Councils. Nelson’s overall winner was SASH Nelson, a free counselling service that works with over 100 clients who seek healing from rape and sexual abuse. Men’s Shed Waimea won the Tasman
District overall winner award while other winners included Founders Heritage Park Book Fair, St John Ambulance, Nelson Youth Council, Nelson Arts Festival and the Tasman Bible Church Mainly Music group. For winning the Supreme Award, Mapua Easter Fair organising committee received a framed certificate, a trophy and $1,500 prize money. Mapua Easter Fair organising committee will now represent the region at the TrustPower National Community Awards, which are being held in the Far North district in March 2013.
Thirty years ago the first ever Mapua Easter Fair was held, a somewhat quieter version of the fair held nowadays. Thirty years on – the fair now boasts over 330 stall holders and 15,000 visitors. It is considered the largest one day event in the South Island and understandably, this annual event requires the co-ordination of a diverse set of people, doing different tasks in different project areas. Thankfully the volunteer committee has a group of over 120 volunteers they can draw on to get the work done. TrustPower community relations representative Teresa Partridge says over
the last 30 years in excess of $500,000 has been raised, an incredible amount for such a small community. The money has gone towards specialist teachers to reduce class sizes as well as equipment, resources and materials not funded by the ministry. The money received by the Playcentre makes up 90 per cent of their annual operating budget. It is obvious that without this money they could not operate. The competition for this year’s TrustPower Nelson Tasman Community Awards was fierce with 134 entries, the largest number of entries ever received for the awards.

Bill's 100 action-packed years of life A former Scottish gardener has become Nelson's newest centenarian, turning 100 years old last Tuesday. A party was held in the atrium lounge of Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village for popular resident Bill Smith. Close friends and family visited the well-travelled Bill, who was more surprised by the number of cards he had tallied up at the end of the occasion. "I don't know how I managed to get all these cards, I think someone bought them, shared them out and collected all the money for them," he jokes. Bill was born in 1912 near Dundee in the County of Angus, Scotland. He lived on the farm his father managed, walking three miles to school every day, even after heavy snow in winter. There were no vehicles back then and all work on the farm had to be completed manually or with the help of one of the 12 horses. His father grew and sold potatoes to Germany from the 38 acre farm but he was unsure what they did with them. He says the work was difficult in the early times. "My father got the first tractor in 1929. That was a very long time ago. All the ploughing was done with a little plough and two horses drawing it along. During the summer months we used to go pick wild raspberries and pick up potatoes at the farm." During his time at school, the postmistress used to visit and get the brightest boy in the class to deliver the telegrams. Once the previous brightest boy left school, Bill was called upon to get on his bike and deliver them. That encouraged the post mistress to ask Bill if he wanted to work in the post office when he was just 12 years old. But gardening was to be Bill's main pas-
sion and even when he was just a boy he looked back on the “gris-gris” or good luck used to do the lawns for one of his teach- charms worn by the African troops which ers. "I could've got a job in the post office they thought would protect them but Bill as a postman but I didn't want that. I went knew the bands wouldn't have any physiand got a job on a dairy farm.

He and Rose welcomed daughter Anne and son John during his first years in New Zealand. After two years, Bill went onto work with the Disabled Servicemen's Centre. This was one of six centres set up in New Zealand after the First World War to help returning disabled servicemen who were unable to return to their pre-war occupations because of war disabilities. They were trained in new trades and occupations. The Napier centre had 20 acres of market gardening and one glasshouse growing tomatoes. Bill built two more glasshouses with the help of two disabled soldiers, in which they grew flowers and vegetable seedlings in the centre shop. After eight years there was only one solider left so they tried to employ disabled civilians. It was not long after that the centre was closed so Bill moved to Motueka as a field manager for Unilever in 1957, producing surprise peas, and carried that job through until his retirement. Bill and Rose frequently travelled to Hawaii to visit Anne and her husband Bob, before they moved to Nelson in 2006. "That was a happy time of my life," Bill says, recounting his trips overseas to Hawaii. Bill now has one grandchild, Kirk, and one great grandchild Stella-Rose. He was visited by family members last week, despite the majority of them living around the globe. He says turning 100 years old "doesn't make any difference". "I'm just going to carry on the same. I try to have a bit of enjoyment in my life and I enjoy living here. I have so many lovely girls that come and look after me. I wouldn't have any of that if I was at home."
Bunga, Surutda, Panya, Prasert and Nuttavut look forward to seeing you at Chai Yo. Take a trip to Thailand without leaving Richmond, with the delicious, authentic food of ChaiYo Thai. Chai-Yo Thai has been a popular addition to the Queen St stretch since March 2011, known for their high quality food prepared by chefs from Thailand. The traditional Thai tastes, décor and music will transport you to the cultural centre of Bangkok or Phuket. The wide range of options has recently been expanded, with options including crispy noodle and ginger fried rice added to the already impressive menu. Feedback from the community has played a big part in the menu, adding dishes similar to other popular options to create a variety of choices for every taste. Among the options on the Richmond dinner menu is a crunchy chicken dish with a creamy coconut curry sauce, exclusive to Chai-Yo Thai, which has people coming back for the unique, mouth-watering taste. You can be adventurous and try something new, or stick with the tried and true flavours of Pad Thai or Thai Green Curry. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty dish or a healthy meal, there is something for everyone, and gluten free and vegetarian op-
tions are available. Lunch is available daily from 11.30am to 2.30pm, providing quick, affordable options that you can fit into your lunch break. The full dinner menu is available 7 days a week, from 4.30pm to 9pm at the dine-in restaurant in Richmond and the takeaway store in Nelson. Loyalty cards are available to make the reasonable prices even more affordable. Delivery within Nelson and Richmond has recently become an option, making it even easier to choose Chai-Yo Thai as a delicious and hassle free dinner treat any night of the week. Chai-Yo Thai is fully licensed, providing a range of wines and beers from Thailand as well as New Zealand, with BYO is available for wine. Their traditional Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Lemon Tea go well with the authentic dishes.

‘Suave gents’ win theatre title There were plenty of questions as Nayland College won the Theatre Sports title on Friday night. A final round tie-breaker where contestants must string together skits purely comprising of questions gave The Four Suave Gentlemen team members Marley Richards, Dali McDonald, Patrick Savill and James Tanner the edge over Nelson College’s Gorgonites. It was a sudden death skit which saw contestants sit back down if they could not repeat another question. Patrick and Nelson College’s Rupert Oakeley were the last remaining contestants. The 2012 edition of the Theatre Sports competition, which is organised by Body in Space, was contested by each secondary school in the
Health chief quits post
Nelson-Tasman region with teams coming from as far as Golden Bay and Motueka. Each team featured four or five actors who must compete in a range of improvisational challenges throughout a three minute period. Examples of the challenges included Good Day, Bad Day, where team members re-enact an audience member’s day three times. The second time the team re-enacts the day is the best way possible and finally in the worst way possible. The audience member’s “silent type” husband became overly loud during the bad day while he was also attacked during his daily walk, burnt his toast and had the washing machine explode. The competition was held at the Suter Theatre.
The head of the region’s health board last week announced his resignation. Nelson Marlborough District Health Board chief executive, John Peters, announced his resignation effective from December this year. John has held the role for eight years and says the time was right to pass on the role to someone who will see the DHB through the next phase. He says there were strong foundations in place with all-of-system clinical leadership throughout the organisation, good performance in national targets and a long-term strategy for health in the district through the Health 2030 Strategy. “This is a great organisation and it has been my privilege to lead it for eight years. I plan to stay in Nelson and take a break and may do some consultancy assignments if the opportunity arises, however I am not looking to take on further full time work.”

A few things to be aware of if you’re in a de facto relationship and considering a pre-nuptial contract: Entering a new relationship in the modern age is vastly different to how it once was. New Zealand is a relatively progressive country when it comes to recognising the rights of partners in unmarried de-facto relationships. In England, for instance, it was only last year that prenuptial contracts were given any legal standing. If you are in a de-facto relationship that could be affected by the Property Relationships Act and need to protect the assets you bring to the relationship you need to be aware at least of the following:
Qualifying Relationship
In order to be in a relationship that comes within the Property Relationship Act (unless of course you are in a civil union or married), you must be over 18 and “live together as a couple.” After three years of “living together as a couple” the Act then applies. “Living together as a couple” might sound straight forward at first blush, however it is not quite as simple as it sounds. In some instances it can be difficult to ascertain when couples began living together (because for instance they were flatting together when the relationship started). In other circumstances people have been found to be living together despite having separate households. In a recent decision a man was found to be in multiple de facto relationships! The ultimate test is the degree to which the affairs are inter-related and the test to which the Court would truly see them as a “couple”. Once the three year time-frame is up your partner is in a different legal position and the Courts will look at a relationship property agreement differently. This is because at this point your partner has acquired legally enforceable rights under the Property Relationships Act that did not exist before. While it certainly is possible to create an agreement that contracts out of the Act AFTER you are in a qualifying relationship, it is much easier to do so before that three year time frame is up.
Setting aside agreement for failure to comply with a formality
For a pre-nuptial agreement to be binding it must be signed and certified by an independent solicitor for each party to the agreement. The certifying solicitor must certify that the person signing has understood the agreement and the lawyer will have to thoroughly explain the effects of the agreement and the party’s entitlement under the law. If the level of legal advice is inadequate then it can be set aside by the Courts (i.e. declared invalid). If the lawyer giving you advice on a contracting out agreement is only taking 15 minutes to advise you then it is likely that the quality of the advice you are getting is insufficient and the agreement could be set-aside. Do not be surprised if you walk into a lawyer’s office with a pre-nuptial contract asking for it to be “witnessed” only to be told that it does not work like that and is much more complex with more work involved. If the agreement is over-turned by the Court then you or the other party to the agreement might be able to sue the lawyer who certified the agreement for negligence. The lawyer certifying the agreement will often have to make enquiries of the lawyer advising the other party. This could include requesting disclosure of assets and valuations so that they have an understanding of the financial situations of the parties when advising. The lawyer does not HAVE to certify an agreement. If the lawyer is not satisfied
they have been able to give you proper advice on the agreement, for instance because of a lack of information and understanding of your affairs, then they are not bound to sign it, even if you insist that they do.
Setting aside an agreement for “Serious Injustice”
For an agreement to stand up it cannot create a “serious injustice”. An agreement which is simply unfair runs the risk of being set aside by the Courts but it will probably require more than simply an unfair outcome compared to what a party might otherwise obtain under the Property Relationships Act. It will usually require an unsatisfactory process. For example, if an unfair result is coupled with a lack of understanding by a party of the effect of the agreement and extreme pressure from the other party to sign the document, it may create a “serious injustice.”
Trusts, abolition of gift duty and pre-nuptial contracts
The changes in law surrounding gift duty have made it easy to quickly transfer property into a trust. Some believed that this would mean there was no longer a requirement for pre-nuptial contracts to protect their assets when going into a relationship. The idea is that it can be easier to transfer property to a trust than it is to ask your partner to sign an agreement that foresees the end of the relationship. People who think that they are afforded full protection by transferring their property to a trust should not feel quite so secure. There are provisions in the Property Relationships Act and the Family Proceedings Act that allows property to be “clawed back” in certain circumstances. The only watertight way to ensure asset protection is with a properly certified agreement that meets all the legal requirements and does not create “serious injustice.”
Conclusion
It is sometimes difficult for couples who are building a relationship based on trust with an expectation it will last a lifetime to deal with these issues but it is only fair that the agreement and its consequences are properly discussed and thought through with professional advice. There is no need for the process to be unpleasant or confrontational but it is important to have thorough advice to ensure that the agreement holds up later down the track if things go wrong.
Simon Whitehead at Pitt & Moore is available to answer any questions you might have about relationship property.

Mall upgrades continue The Richmond Mall food court is going through its first significant upgrade since 1999 with the floor being completely retiled and a new entrance way to be worked on in the coming weeks. The re-tiling process has been
occurring throughout the night by Coman Construction. Other changes will see completely new furniture throughout the largest shopping centre in the top of the south, new paint work, altered ceiling features and some rearrangements with
tenants. Hey Sushi is moving into a tenancy, allowing for more seating in the food court. Just Incredible is moving out of the food court area and into the store previously occupied by T&T while Westpac will become the first bank in the mall.
Budding romance writers given a chance to bloom The Nelson Romance Writers are hoping to uncover some hidden talent with their Romance Short Story Competition opening next week. Open to unpublished writers over the age of 18, the competition is themed 'new beginnings', with a 1000 word limit on entries.

Entry costs $10, with an additional $10 to receive feedback on your work. The top three stories receive a gift basket of romantic goodies, with first place scoring a year's membership to Romance Writers NZ, which has chapters all over the country and many published members. The final judge is successful author Sue MacKay. Email allan-annika@xtra.co.nz for more information or for an entry form. The competition is open nationwide, entries close October 1.

His dedication and expertise allowed the business to expand, and in 2002 he made the decision to create a company profile, branching out as Bright Sparks Electrical Solutions and Air Con Nelson. Originally working out of Nathan’s home, the business quickly grew, moving to a new location at 14 Tokomaru Pl five years ago, and now employing eight full time staff members. As the two businesses operate in tandem, it allows the team to incorporate all aspects of lighting, entertainment, temperature control and ventilation to the design of a home, with a guarantee on the quality of the installation, as there are no external subcontractors. They also work with Safe and Sound Security Solutions to include alarm and security systems to keep your family and your possessions safe. Bright Sparks Electrical Solutions and Air Con Nelson specialise in creating detailed plans for new residential homes, as well as retrofitting and upgrading existing homes, focusing on comfort and simplicity while reducing ongoing running costs. With new C-Bus smart home systems, you can control your entire house from your smart phone or iPad from anywhere within the wireless network.
Although it can impose a greater initial cost, C-Bus home automation can greatly contribute to energy savings on an ongoing basis, saving on your energy bills and reducing your carbon footprint. This is achieved through features such as lights switching off and on automatically when you leave and enter a room, as well as advanced control of heating and ventilation in independent areas of your home at certain times. Bedrooms will be kept comfortable at night, the living room will be kept at a consistent climate, and your games room will only draw energy when you’re using it, meaning no wasted energy and greater savings on your energy bill. Fulfill all of your electrical, home automation, heating and ventilation needs with the trusted team at Bright Sparks Electrical Solutions and Air Con Nelson. Bright Sparks Bright Sparks Electrical Solutions can take care of any electrical work, big or small.

Nathan Sharp has been proudly operating Air Con and Bright Sparks for the last decade. room a tidy, modern place to relax, or a place that you can let the kids and pets enjoy without worrying about damage to them or the system. With the cutting edge C-Bus control and management system, you won’t need to worry about coming home to a dark, cold, unwelcoming home, when all it takes is a voice command or text message to turn on heating, open blinds and turn on climate control from your cell phone before you even leave work. All it takes is a smart phone connected to the wireless network and you can have complete control over your entire home, from switching off lights when you get into bed to turning on the barbecue and outdoor heating ten minutes before you
want to begin cooking. The future proofing advantages of C-Bus allow any controlled electrical circuit within your home to be switched on or off or reprogrammed. For example, if you have a young child and want all floor level wall sockets to be disabled, you can temporarily cut power from those circuits. If you would rather control the lights in the kitchen at the same time as those in the dining room, you can reprogram the switches to cover both. It will no longer take expensive and intrusive rewiring to carry out these changes on your home. The system can be controlled through a mounted wall panel or iPad, employing a very simple, easy to navigate visual sys-

Halifax St
In the heart of Nelson and providing the link between the city's shopping hub and the northern end of town is Halifax St. There are dozens of fantastic and diverse businesses ready to help you, whether its for a free hearing test or the latest mobile phone or a great book. Triton Hearing: TURN UP THE VOLUME ON LIFE. Have you ever found it difficult to hear in noisy situations? Do you sometimes struggle to hear other people’s voices? Have your family and friends ever commented on your hearing? Ten per cent of New Zealand’s population has some form of hearing loss and most people take around seven years to accept that they have any form of hearing loss. Many of these people endure awkward moments in crowded rooms and restaurants. At Triton we believe that if you are going to adapt to new technology… then adapt early. The modern hearing aid is no longer a device which has any associated social stigma. In fact, many of today’s digital hearing aids are so small they are almost invisible. Triton Hearing has helped over 14,000 New Zealanders turn up the volume on life and have found that most people discover that hearing aids are a lot less noticeable than hearing loss.
Triton Hearing uses the most up-to-date testing equipment and the very latest in hearing technology and can also help you access subsidies, and if applicable, funding through ACC and war pensions. Call the team at Triton Hearing today on 0800 45 45 49 to arrange a FREE hearing health check or visit the clinic at 44 Halifax St.

Problem gambling group brings rapper to Nelson Recovered gambler and well-known Christchurch rapper Scribe will be bustin’ rhymes on the Church Steps in a bid to stop others taking his path to pub pokies. The Nelson Experience is being organised by Andrew Jonas from the Problem Gambling Foundation. The event is part of the Choice not Chance campaign aimed at strengthen-
ing community awareness about gambling-related harms. Scribe has previously confessed to drugs, alcohol and gambling addictions. Andrew says the greatest amount of gambling related harm in New Zealand is caused by pub pokies, especially in vulnerable communities. “While we can celebrate that Victory community’s success in its fight to have
several pokie machines removed, over 80 per cent of people asking for help say pub pokies are their main form of gambling." The Nelson Experience will be a multicultural event and will include performances from Maori, Bhutanese and Zomi communities, as well as hip hop dance and rap artists. Andrew says while the event isn’t specifically targeting youth, there is an increase
in online gambling, gaming and addiction to technology from young people. Other guest speakers at the event include Problem Gambling Consumer Advisor, Brenda McQuillan and members of the Nelson Gambling Policy Taskforce, who fought to remove pokies from Victory Square recently. The Nelson Experience is on August 25 at 1903 Square between 10am and 1pm.

Trafalgar Centre was abuzz with the sound of model aeroplanes as more than 150 interested locals took the opportunity to check out what Nelson Model Aero Club has to offer. Nineteen members brought along their fixed wing plane and helicopter remote controlled models, flying them skillfully around the large centre. More models, including larger planes reaching several metres in size, were part of a static display. The Nelson Model Aero Club hosts the event annually in the Trafalgar Centre, asking only a gold coin donation to cover the cost of hiring the venue. The club generally meets on the first Tuesday of every month at

"Some of the bigger planes don't have room to fly in Stoke Hall so it's good to have the chance to bring those out."

RE: OPEN INVITATION On Wednesday the 15th of August 2012 at 11:45 am, I will be appearing in the Nelson Court defending a single criminal charge of theft by a person in a special relationship following allegations and representations made to the Police by representatives of the Registrar of Companies. These matters follow earlier allegations made by parties representing the Registrar of Companies as has now been decided in my favour by her Honour Justice Mallon from judgment(s) delivered 8th May 2012 in CIV 2011 – 442 – 80 [2012] NZHC 961, and the further decision delivered 20th July 2012 in relation to costs awarded to me in CIV 2011 – 442 – 000080 [2012] NZHC 1788. In those matters I defended the allegations as a Lay Litigant in Person (i.e., without a Solicitor). The single allegation / charge relates essentially to the correctness or otherwise in law of deductions I made in my capacity as the Liquidator for fees and expenses incurred in the liquidation of “Astra Enterprises Limited (In Liquidation)” from the realizations of assets (those funds) as held. In the interests of open and transparent justice, name suppression was quite rightly refused to me by the Court at the start of these proceedings. To further assist the transparency of open justice, those parties with an interest in this case, or an interest in criminal or insolvency law are invited to attend. I will be defending this single charge initiated by the Registrar of Companies now brought by the Police who are to be represented again by Crown Law, and again I will be self represented as a Lay Litigant in Person in my capacity as Liquidator of the company. Copies of the issues and submissions of the defendant are available at the cost of $125.00 GST inclusive, by registering at pd.norris@xtra.co.nz. Copies will be dispatched by email from the 13th of August. Persons attending are reminded to turn off cell phones before entering the Court, and no food or drink is allowed in the Courtroom. Seating is limited. Yours faithfully,

Paws R Precious provides gentle meticulous grooming for your dog, based on the training Shirley McEwan received 10 years ago in the USA. Shirley continues to train her hand picked groomers to ensure that the whole grooming experience is a positive one. The salon has snuggly beds and crates to house your dog while awaiting pickup and a safe outdoor area for potty runs. Each dog receives nail clipping and grinding, ear cleaning (including the removal of ear hair with powder) anal gland expression, Shirley McEwan sanitary trims, then a lovely shampoo, conditioner and blow dry. Shirley uses “Happy Hoodies” while the dogs are being dried to block out the noise of the dryer. She oversees each groom to maintain the high quality of breed standard clipping. After four years in business Paws R Precious has relocated to Parere Street, where Sophie’s Bowtique forms a unique part of the salon. Most of the boutique clothing items are sourced from the USA, with wonderful local doggie coats as well, starting with XXS for the teenies and even some PJ’s!

Silvana Gottini is co-owner of Southern Exposure Tours (S.E.T.), a NZ owned, small group tour company, offering unique cultural and active holidays in Latin America and Europe. So if you’ve ever dreamt of travelling to South America, Silvana is your local expert, leading many of the tours herself or she can help you in planning your own journey. Travel has always been her passion, especially Latin America, which she describes as a complete sensory experience. “It’s so much more than Peru and the Inca Trail. It’s waking up to Silvana Gottini the sound of howler monkeys in the jungle, it’s sitting on the edge of the world’s deepest canyon at sunrise with condors soaring overhead, or tracing the footsteps of Charles Darwin in the Galapagos, and dancing with the locals on the islands of Lake Titicaca,” says Silvana. Though ultimately it’s what they say about S.E.T. that counts. “Words can’t express the adventures I’ve had, the sheer excitement I’ve felt, the people I’ve met, and the food, the glorious food I’ve devoured. The company, no, more a family, designing tours that exceed all expectations, catering for all types and you think they’ve done it all for you personally.” For more information visit www.southernexposuretours.co.nz or call Silvana on 021 643 652. Tori Nalder, Property Manager for Summit Property Management in Stoke has been in the job for two years and loves the variety and challenges that the role brings on a daily basis. “Four and a half years ago I followed my father’s footsteps into real estate, firstly as a Commercial Industrial Administrator and for the past two years I have specialised in the management of residential property. In addition to sourcing tenants, letting property and making sure rents are paid on time, every time, I carry out regular inspections to keep the properties maintained and fully let at optimum rental levels. By doing these tasks well my landlords remain happy, and that’s what it’s all about. Mastering the Residential Tenancies Act is a must for any property manager or landlord and we get to know quickly in our role what we can and can not do as far as being a landlord for our clients and in many cases this knowledge allows us to nip possible issues in the bud. I bring enthusiasm and commitment to every client, I enjoy the role and by specializing and managing properties through Stoke, Wakatu, Annesbrook and Tahunanui it has enabled me to provide sound advice to those looking to appoint someone to manage their property. I currently have far more prospective tenants than available properties, so if you are seeking tenants now, give me a call.”

Breastfeeding at work encouraged Eight month old Dylan and her mum meet for lunch every day of the week. Her mum Shelley Shea says she wouldn’t have it any other way. She went back to work breast feeding Dylan’s big sister Kamryn and it all went well. “I’ve been back at work for a month now breastfeeding Dylan. Either her grandparents bring her in or I drive down at lunch to her early childhood education centre which is close by," she says. Shelley says she feels that her decision to breastfeed is respected and well supported by her colleagues. The Nelson Marlborough District Health Board philosophy around breastfeeding in the workplace is very supportive and follows the Department of Labour breastfeeding in the workplace legislation. “On days that I am in Blenheim as part of my work as project manager for the Care Capacity Demand Project I express milk for Kamryn. However Dylan only likes milk straight from the source. Getting her to drink expressed milk from a bottle or cup is not going so well so I do worry about her getting enough," says Shelley. “At present it is either spooned in or given with food.” Like any parent she says she misses not being with Dylan and Kamryn during the day but she knows they both love spending time with their grandparents or at the ECE centre which makes it easier to cope with.

Shelley Shea with her 8 month old daughter Dylan breastfeeding at work. "As the office plan is very open and there are a number of high level meetings that take place there so I take Dylan to a private area to feed. “This way she doesn’t get too distracted,” she says. Shelley said that breastfeeding during the daytime would finish
soon once she is confident Dylan is getting adequate nutrition and hydration from food and water. She says for the morning and night feeds they will just see how things go but probably finish when Dylan is about 12 months old.

Jacks hold onto win over Waimea ting second (on goal differential) behind Nelson College for Girls B and are looking for consistency as the regular season comes to an end before playoffs begin. Jacks had an abundance of ball in the first half as Waimea struggled to combat their more experienced counterparts both physically and mentally. Jacks played a man-on-man defence through court while wing defence Tiffany McGill played her best game of the season. She applied considerable pressure on the circle edge that enabled Jacks circle defenders Olivia Legarth and Donna Davison to pick off any stray pass. Olivia and Donna were a mobile unit and proved to be a formidable pairing as they toiled to contain the accurate Katie Ditzel. Goal attack Kim Starnes was Jacks playmaker – she sets up play, and creates space in the goal circle to take on the dominant shooting role. Centre, Chelsea Routhan linked well through court while wing attack, Emese Bismark displayed a nice understanding with her shooters. While Jacks won the first two periods 9-7 and 11-4, the second half belonged to Waimea. Waimea are owed some kudos for their ability to come out more focussed and lift the bar after the major break. Ruby Jensen’s move to wing attack was beneficial as she displayed composure on the feed. Circle defenders Georgia Davies and Hannah Davenhill had their hands full as they endeavoured to contain the height of Jacks goal shoot, Natasha Tucker. Waimea finished gallantly outscoring Jacks 6-5 and Jacks Drainmax centre Chelsea Routhan collects the 8-3 in the second half and ball during her sides win.

Jacks Drainmax made a good start and a convincing second quarter paved the way for a 28-25 win over the fast finishing Waimea College 10A In the Grade 1 game played at Saxton Stadium on Saturday. Jacks Drainmax took the court with plenty of respect for the well drilled, talented college team. Jacks knew they would have to put out a solid, all round team effort to come out on the right side of the ledger. Jacks coach, Belinda Taggart says her charges have been training well and have good momentum going in to the championship round. Jacks are sit-

Town squares origin The ProRugby League Town vs Country series will head to a third game decider after Symon Duncan kicked a field goal in the final minutes to give Town a 33-32 win. With the live scoreboard suggesting Country was up 32-30, there were some confused faces amongst the squad when Symon took to the boot with only minutes left on the clock. But in fact, the official score was 3232 and the drop goal meant Town will live to fight another day, after losing the first game of the series at Trafalgar Park last week. Town started the stronger of the two sides at the Brightwater Domain on Saturday and raced away to a 24-12 lead after the first half. Consisting of members of the Super Cheap Auto Stoke Cobras and the Sims Pacific Tahuna Tigers, it was a mixture of both teams' players that contributed on the scoresheet. Te Atawai Meechang scored a brace while Kasi Sami, Luke Raharuhi, Keani Edwards and Symon also crossed the dotted line.

FC Nelson title showdown Phillip Rollo
D
With only four rounds remaining, a win this weekend will go a long way to deciding the Nelson Pine Industries first division football title. The two sides looking ever more likely to challenge for the championship, FC Nelson Sprig & Fern and FC Nelson Fuji Xerox, will lock horns at Guppy Park this Saturday. FC Nelson Sprig & Fern will be buoyed be an impressive 6-1 thrashing of Queens St Pharmacy Richmond Athletic, now holding an eight goal differential over its inner-club rivals. Richmond had proven to be a bit of a bogey side for FC Nelson Sprig & Fern, losing twice to the defending champions this year before Saturday's emphatic win. Solomon Island international captain Henry Fa'arado proved his quality with a well-taken hat-trick, target man Nigel Hale scored a brace and the always impressive Davi Maciel Gonzalez chipped in on the scoresheet as the side ran out clear winners on the day. But goal differential is all that separates the two FC Nelson teams, both sides sit equal on 28 competition points. The two have managed to beat each other already this season, also drawing on one other occasion. FC Nelson Sprig & Fern manager Rick Gower highlighted the x-factor Henry brings to the team and acknowledged that a loss this weekend could see FC Nelson Fuji Xerox put one hand on the trophy. "It's quite realistic to think if they get a win and we don't then it'll obviously tilt in their favour and the same goes for us," says Rick. "I'm pretty confident and the boys are quite confident that

Photo: Phillip Rollo. they'll go out there and do their best and get a result." FC Nelson Fuji Xerox kept up the pace thanks to a 1-0 victory over AMI Nelson Suburbs first XI. Standout Johnny Gough scored the only goal of the match to ensure three points went to FC Nelson. Defenders Kerry Eggers and Sam Miller were rock solid at the back while keeper Dean Hill and Derryn French won the praise of their coach Robbie Hansen.
Robbie says the physical nature of the Suburbs match has done the team the world of good ahead of Saturday's game. "We've had a good run and winning creates confidence. This weekend will go a long way to deciding the title, both teams have the bye coming up and the pressure will go on both teams depending on what happens this weekend," he says. The big match is scheduled for a 3pm kick off at Guppy Park.

Top ballet in Nelson Phillip Rollo The Gillian Francis Nelson Academy of Dance has been able to obtain an international lead for its upcoming showcase. Season of Dance will be held at the Theatre Royal on August 9, 10 and 11, and features three ballets including Through the Fire, Desert Rose and excerpts from the famous Don Quixote. The final performance will be led by United States ballet dancer Jesse Campbell and 16
year old Nelson resident Sarah Lauder. The excerpts have been described as a "fun, flirty ballet with plenty of Spanish flair". It is from 1869. Nelson Academy of Dance principal Gillian Francis was thrilled to have a male dancer of Jesse's calibre involved in the show and confirmed that he was the first male lead the academy had used in a number of years. Gillian also praised the skill set that Sarah offered, despite being reasonably new to dancing. "She actually came

from gymnastics. She's done very well. Jesse is also a very good dancer and a personable guy. They're all getting on very well," she says. Initially a martial artist, Jesse says he was pushed into becoming a dancer by members of the neighbouring jazz school. "A few of the girls said you'd be much better off if you did ballet too. I said I was not interested but then ended up taking one class a week." It didn't take long for Jesse's passion for ballet to grow and the following summer he had secured himself a scholarship to a ballet school in Chicago. "That's when I learnt how to partner, how to jump and found out what it was really about. I was hooked," he explains. When he was dancing in New York, Jesse met dancers from all over the globe, including a girl from New Zealand. Her mother ran a dance school in Christchurch and the opportunity came up for him to perform as the male lead down under in 2010. The same school brought Jesse back for this year, but he doubled up by also appearing in Nelson. "My chances of coming to New Zealand for anything else were pretty slim so to get this opportunity was great. It's really good to experience the art form in a different way." Close to 100 dancers have been learning the three performances over the past couple of months. Jesse, on the other hand, has come in very late in the piece and only has two weeks to learn the entire dance. The most important part to learning the routine is building chemistry with his fellow lead. Tickets can be bought from the Theatre Royal or online at www.ticketdirect.co.nz. They cost $16 plus additional service fees. Each performance begins at 7pm with the Saturday matinee starting at 3:30pm.

NZ's 4x4 winch champions
Nelson four wheel driver Andrew Satherley is a New Zealand champion after winning the North verses South 4x4 Winch Challenge last month. Andrew, or Sav, teamed up with navigator Scott Newport to win the annual event and take the title, as well as top points for the Mainland Winch Challenge series. Sav has been racing four wheeled drive vehicles since he was “a kid” but only started winch racing three years ago. The style of racing seeing drivers needing to use their winch to get out of muddy and steep tracks. Two years ago Sav won the Mainland series and is on track to give it another good go this year. He also won the Top of the South section of the series in early June. What makes Sav and Scotty’s efforts more remarkable is that they do it in an almost standard Jeep. The pair race the car that Sav drives to work every day, with only the addition of some bigger tires and half doors that are
swapped for the full doors he usually drives around in. Sav says the national title was great to win but the series win again this year would be a bigger accomplishment. “That is one of thing but to win the series is very tough. We’ve done it once and it would be good to do it again.” There are still another two rounds of the series to go.

The Harbour Master’s
diary
• One fruit vessel, three container vessels, a tugboat from Gisborne, a big car carrier, the navy in HMNZS Taupo, the cement ship, a tanker, a fertiliser ship, the dredge from Westport and sixteen large fishing vessel movements meant the port was very busy for the last week. • The weather has been tough to take over the last week and the unexpected strong gusting easterly winds have certainly kept us on our toes. Fortunately the wise boaties have stuck to the fishing channels on the TV or the local newspapers and not ventured out where the unwary could be caught out. • There was a kayaker surprised a week or so ago when rescued by the NIWA vessel. It appeared the cold quickly led to exhaustion as the kayaker was skilled enough to get back into his kayak, but soon after he did he rolled over again and decided it was prudent to wave down some help. It was good to see this guy was not alone and from my perspective he and his companion appeared to do it all correctly. • It is interesting to note that any vessel really only needs a minimal amount of water in it to seriously affect its stability. Water moving around in your vessel regardless of its type can cause it to roll over and capsize. Always ensure your bilge pumps are working, you have an efficient bailer or sponge, and the interior of your craft is kept dry. Mum, there is no better bilge pump than a frightened man with a bucket.
