A Wild Stab in The Dark
The St. Ives murder trial kicked off in Truro this week. The
defendant, Alison Parker, denies murdering her partner, Nigel Tonge, after he
was stabbed to death in a 'domestic' last March. She is claiming self-defence,
running Tonge through while he was duffing her up.
So far, Tonge has not responded to any offers of an interview to
put his side of the story.
The trial continues.
Round The Rugged Rocks
275 teams of Coastguards are currently doing a sponsored relay
walk around the entire coast of Britain. The walk kicked off at Land's End and
the St. Ives Coastguard team completed their section of the walk yesterday. They
walked from Gurnard's Head to the Copperhouse sluice gate in Hayle where they
handed over to the Portreath Coastguards.
Pushing The Boat Out
St. Ives RNLI have recently been given a number of awards by
RNLI Headquarters. Among the gongs handed out were 20 Year Long Service (you get
less for murder these days!) Badges for crew members James Perkin and Charles
Hodson.
So, next time you fall in the sea spare a thought for these
blokes, they must be absolutely knackered!
Rugger Me!
In a closely fought match that remained in the balance right up to the
kick-off, last weekend St. Ives' rugby team narrowly defeated Falmouth 116-7.
(And Falmouth had home advantage!).
As such, the game would remain totally devoid of interest to Spooky St. Ives
but we are pleased to announce that sloth-like Sloop bartender and all-round
rugby diva, Scott Rowe, managed to score precisely NONE of the eighteen
tries.
Yup, that's right, NONE. Even guest full-back Professor Stephen
Hawking managed to score a couple of tries but Scott got NONE.
Strangely enough Scott has been conspicuous by his absence since
then!
