Deaths of elderly
couple a mystery
An elderly couple found dead in a
Napier motel unit showed no signs of
traumatic injuries, police say.
The Chinese couple fromAuckland,
aged 73 and 74, were found dead by
relatives in the Deco City Motor
Lodge unit on Wednesday night.
Police investigating the deaths said
yesterday there was no indication
yet as to howthey died. There was
no evidence of a weapon being used.
The couple, who have not been
named, were visiting Napier while
travelling around the country with
their adult son and his wife.
Detective Senior Sergeant Dave de
Lange said autopsies were due to be
carried out yesterday. If toxicology
test results are required, the final
outcome may not be known for a
while. The couples son and
daughter-in-lawhad returned to
Auckland to be with other family
members, he said. At this stage, we
are keeping an open mind as to how
these deaths have occurred. The
couple would not be named until all
family members had been notified.

An engineering and electrical
company, EIS, has been named the
supreme business of the year at
the inaugural Southland Business
Excellence Awards.
About 250 people attended last
nights awards ceremony at the
Ascot Park Hotel to support the 13
businesses and four personalities
nominated for awards.
EIS, a multi-disciplined engin-
eering and electrical company
with extensive national and inter-
national experience, took out the
supreme award and also won the
award for business of the year
with more than 15 fulltime staff
and the safety award.
Judge Warwick Low said EIS,
whose chief executive is Dean Ad-
die, demonstrated a future-focused
approach ranging from manage-
ment and development of their
team, dealing with and acquiring
clients, setting goals and fiscal
control.
They were not defined by the
industry and had made their own
place in the global market.
The community and industry
contribution was quite significant.
It had all the characteristics of a
business that we hoped a local
community business would do
being successful in the inter-
national stage and supporting the
local community and generating
success for future industry.
Event organiser, the Southland
Chamber of Commerce, received
30 entries for the eight categories.
Other winners included: Bevan
Pearce, Southland Disability, Mac-
Pherson Real Estate, Gore Health
and its chief executive Karl Metz-
ler.
Mr Low, the Southern Institute
of Technology school of business
manager, said the three judges
had looked for businesses with a
strategy that showed a deep under-
standing of the business market
and demonstrated the business
was looking to make improve-
ments and was achieving its goal.
Southland businesses were
performing as well as and above
other areas of the country, he said.
The awards were a vehicle for
businesses to complete what they
were doing and to see how they
could improve.
Southland Chamber of Com-
merce vice-president Carla Forbes
said small and large businesses in
the region were over-achieving
and doing incredible things. But
some were guilty of tall poppy syn-
drome, which should not be the
case.
They should be proud of the
achievement, she said.
Southland businesses also made
a substantial contribution to the
national economy and this success
should be recognised, she said.
Tonight the business com-
munity recognised the achieve-
ments of solid business processes
and preparing for the future. To-
nights winners put their head
down and got the work done.
The chamber was excited to see
such quality businesses involved
with the awards, she said.
Next year the awards would
continue to grow and she expected
they would be bigger and better.
The business awards were the
first of many big initiatives for the
future-focused chamber, she said.

In the pink
Pink ladies out for a Cadillac spin
Andrew Voerman
The residents of Invercargills Cal-
vary Hospital Rest Home looked
pretty in pink as they dressed up
and went for a spin in a pink
Cadillac yesterday for Greats and
Grands Month, a celebration of
older people.
Bev Harvey, who helped organ-
ise the event, said it was a
celebration of all the things the
residents have done in their
lives.
The day was an opportunity for
the residents to reminisce, she
said.
The ladies from Calvary were
looking glamorous, dressed in
coats and dresses, and an assort-
ment of feather necklaces, hats
and fascinators, all in various
shades of pink and purple.
Some had made hats and neck-
laces for themselves, while others
had begged and borrowed from
family. Mrs Harvey arranged for a
friend to bring his pink Cadillac
along and she was surprised how
many of the ladies were keen to go
for a ride.
Thirty residents were clamour-
ing for their turn in the classic
car, where they were taken on a
trip up through town, like they
would have done in the past.
The residents enjoyed a group
lunch, and after posing for a photo
with the Cadillac, were treated to
a performance by six pink-clad
members of the SuperGrans vol-
unteer group.
One resident, Naomi Knipe, pul-
led out a dress she bought 12 years
ago for the occasion.
She said the day had been won-
derful and was looking forward
to her turn in the Cadillac.

Pole-dance caper ends
with charges being laid
Three Kiwis on a stag do in
Queenstown got into bother at a
pole-dancing club yesterday.
A police spokeswoman said the
three men, two brothers aged 32
and 29 and another mate, 31, were
in Club 88 in Shotover St at
12.20am yesterday.
One of the brothers started
swinging on a pole in the adult
club and was asked to leave but
refused.
Another member of their group
stepped in and all hell broke
loose. Police were called.
The elder brother, a welder, was
charged with assault, while the
other sibling, an electrician, and
their mate were charged with dis-
orderly behaviour.
All three men, who live in Br-
isbane, are expected to appear in
the Queenstown District Court on
Monday.
