DHB culture blasted Over the past three months, 17 current and former staff members from six different departments of Nelson Marlborough Health have spoken to Nelson Weekly alleging a culture of bullying and poor working conditions. Jonty Dine reports.

She was good at her job, she’d been doing it for ten years and enjoyed the satisfaction it gave her – she was helping people.

But she says a sustained bullying campaign by her manager at Nelson Marlborough Health left her broken, she lost confidence and was constantly on the verge of tears.

Her story is not unique.

Nelson Weekly has conducted interviews with 17 current and former staff members of the DHB as well as one former board member. They say management do not deal with chronic understaffing or complaints of bullying.

Of the 17 people, all have asked that their names are not printed

as they fear being targeted by senior management, and all but two spoke to us individually.

All interviews were conducted face-to-face and recorded for accuracy. The people we spoke with are nurses, administration staff, doctors, support workers, surgeons and an anaesthetist.

The PSA Union which represents

health workers say NMH has one of the worst procedures in dealing with bullying complaints its seen.

Nelson Weekly reached out to Nelson Marlborough Health for an interview with its CEO Lexie O’Shea, that request was declined.

She did send a written statement.

“Bullies are not welcome at Nel-

son Marlborough Health. Complaints meeting the definition of bullying are investigated by a registered investigator and a panel reviews the report. The panel always includes union representation and can include external parties.”

New bar defies Covid struggle SARA HOLLYMAN With hospitality struggling in the wake of Covid-19, one couple are defying odds by opening yet another branch of their hospitality business.

Tattons is the newest bar in town, located above Mama Cod on Trafalgar Street.

Owners Nick and Kymberly Widley, who run Mama Cod and Kismet, say it’s not so much opening a new bar, as repurposing space within an existing business.

Nick likens the theme of the bar to ‘out of time’ with elements chosen from their favourite eras including 1920s and facets of a speakeasy.

Officially opening this Friday, the bar caters for just 26 sitdown guests and specialises in stir-down, straight-up cocktails.

Kymberly says the bar focusses on a crowd that really enjoys and knows what they want to drink rather than those that go out solely for the intention of drinking. “This is more about people who are wanting to have a really nice experience but also wanting to buy something that’s quality and knows what they’re getting,” she says.

She says a hospitality venue that is in a historic building has something to say for itself.

“You immediately know you’re somewhere quite special. The history is in the walls, and it really is part of that whole experience,” she says.

People say, ‘if walls could talk’ and its exactly what it’s like when you come in here because you know that this building has been here for 150 years and it’s one of the oldest buildings that is still used today. It’s a beautiful thing to be able to use that for everyone to be able to come and

enjoy.”

She says the name Tattons is is a nod to another piece of Nelson history.

John William Tatton was a dentist who arrived from England in 1800s. He was the first dentist in Nelson to have electricity, and purpose-built the building at

300 Trafalgar St in 1888.

“He was a pharmacist, come dentist, come surgeon and he was one of the first people to produce his own nitrous oxide – laughing gas,” she says.

“So, this building had been providing good times for over 150 years,” says Nick.

Operating on a first-come, firstserved basis, people are invited to wait downstairs for a drink until a table comes available.

Kymberly says they thought they were making good use of the upstairs space for the past six years, using it for storage and as a family room. “We have a young family and we’ve had a cot set up here for the last six years, and now it’s completely different,” she says.

They had somewhat of a trial run last Friday and the pair say as soon as word got out on social media, they were packed.

DHB culture blasted An experienced staff member in Nelson says the toll on nurses is affecting the quality of care patients are receiving. “I see the nurses overworked, I see them crying, I see that they are unhappy. They have got nothing more to give. They have been run dry.”

They say nurses are having to also be cleaners because many cleaners left when the vaccine mandate was brought in and they haven’t been replaced.

The worker says nurses are bearing the biggest brunt of poor management.

They say the hospital has gotten away with such poor treatment of its staff because it relies on the fact that they got into healthcare to look after people and until recently, had a strong supply of workers.

The worker says there is a horrible shortage of staff, and the current culture is to “keep flogging the staff you’ve got.”

A high number of doctors are also taking stress leave.

“It’s depressing because you feel like you’re giving a substandard level of care. It’s not why we went into healthcare.”

They say they don’t feel able to approach senior management to raise issues.

“I don’t feel confident that I’d be listened to or that they can illicit any meaningful change and feel I would be marked as someone who is a troublemaker.”

Board member speaks out A former DHB board member, who resigned in 2021, says they were bullied off the board and felt targeted by a fellow board member for making a complaint about a family member’s health care in the Emergency Department.

They also allege the board was dismissive of any issues not related to finance, and discussions of staff being bullied never took place, despite being raised.

“I don’t think they are looking at how the staff are treated, it’s about bums on seats and a focus on financial accountability.”

With numerous allegations of bullying across the DHB, the former board member says they “absolutely need” to be discussing it at board level.

“We have got a responsibility to keep the nurses safe, and we are there to represent and advocate.”

Following the alleged suicide of a worker, the former board member asked if it could be discussed by the board.

“I was told, ‘this is an operations matter’ and it was not to be discussed at a board meeting nor was it to be brought up by me.”

They say they were never allowed to raise the death again, despite

ance, and that makes them unsafe workplaces. The policy and practice is doing the opposite of what is supposed to do.”

They say for an organisation that specialises in health and wellbeing, the health of their workers doesn’t even come on the radar.

Union organisers say bullying policies should be updates at least every two years.

“This isn’t good process, this is putting people at harm. There is an HR team employed to address these issues and the problems with the process predate Covid, so that is not a good excuse.”

serious concerns about its impact on staff. The board member says during their time as an elected official, they felt silenced and micromanaged.

Our society’s most vulnerable The bullying culture has not escaped the disability support services sector.

Support workers allege that when they have raised complaints with management about acts of negligence, abuse of clients, bullying, and disparity in treatment, the DHB have not taken the complaints seriously or actioned the complaints.

They say some team leaders responsible for the residential houses yell at staff, make medication errors, and do not give vulnerable patients the care they deserve.

Many workers are now hesitant to raise concerns as they are afraid that instead of support they will be punished.

The workers say the stressful work environment manifested physically as they endured nausea, sleepless nights, skin conditions, stress leave, and eventually were put on medication.

Many support workers have made separate complaints and all say they were met with resistance.

As a result of one worker’s complaint, they were called to a twohour meeting with no support person.

Despite previous complaints against the team leader, the worker was called a gossip and a liar.

“I was in tears, I was made to feel worthless. To walk out of there feeling like I was the problem was not cool.”

Another support worker with more than ten years’ experience, says they have also been the victim of bullying and harassment, not just by the current team leader but also the previous.

“I felt unsafe and threatened and I repeatedly informed my manager about the impact this behaviour was having on service users and other staff.”

They say there was a deep seeded fear that their team leader would accuse them of misconduct.

After first being brought to the DHB’s attention in February, it wasn’t until December that the findings of the investigation showed that bullying and harassment had occurred.

Bullying across cultures The prevailing issue of bullying has even extended into the Māori health care system.

Intimidating, inept and negligent, is how one worker describes management.

They portray a manipulative, hi-

erarchical environment, where those who speak out against the manager become targets.

When management has initiated investigations into staff members, the investigations have lacked “impartiality, fairness, or independence” the PSA union says.

“The ways in which the investigations were conducted, ignore the values of the DHB’s disciplinary policy and the DHB itself.”

The union pointed out that serious bullying investigations require an independent, impartial investigator.

The union says about a dozen members have left in the five years since the manager has been in charge.

The union says what’s happening in Māori Health is emblematic of what’s going on elsewhere at Nelson Marlborough Health: “The reports we’re getting are distressing. We’re concerned.”

A repeat offender Nurses at Nelson Hospital allege bullying is continuing at the hospital despite investigations taking place.

In 2021, an investigation into one nurse’s behaviour was carried out and she was stood down with pay for four and a half months following 40 complaints.

The nurse, who we have decided not to name, has since returned to work though her behaviour has not changed.

The “constant, petty, and bullying behaviour” left one of the nurses so distressed that they became suicidal.

Nurses also allege that an ‘inner circle’ receives preferential treatment while there is a high staff turnover for those that challenge them.

Notices issued: In 2020, WorkSafe also issued two ‘Improvement Notices’ to the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board’s (NMDHB) alcohol and drug addiction services department over staff workload pressures, bullying and mental distress.

The notices come four months after a staff member died in a suspected suicide in what a former colleague alleges was partially the result of extreme job stress.

The colleague previously told the Nelson Weekly the job took place in a “powerless and humiliating” work environment.

The nurses say they all fear for their jobs if they complain about the culture.

They say many good nurses have left due to management.

“So many careers, so many lives have been f***** up.”

Ongoing union battles The DHB policy, which was approved in 2014 and updated in 2017, states that if an employee feels they are being bullied or harassed, they are required to report this directly to the general manager or human resources.

If a formal investigation is required, a team will be assembled by the general manager and human resources to carry it out.

Any potential conflicts of interest will again be determined by the general manager and human resources.

When approached for comment, the PSA union said that the system for reporting bullying and abuse is set up against employees and is geared towards punishment for speaking out.

“This is resulting in a scared workforce which has lost all confidence to raise any kind of griev-

MP’s response Kaikōura MP Stuart Smith is accusing district health bosses of consistently concealing bullying behaviour.

Stuart says he believes management are not taking the situation seriously enough.

“The DHB has a culture [of bullying] and I believe management are playing games in terms of having their own agenda.

“I’m well aware of the situation and I’ve had constituents come to me with concerns about it and I’m encouraging them to speak up, with both the DHB and the media.

“I have concerns about the management of DHB. I’ve written to the DHB but they just trot out soothing words.

“A delegation of four people came to see me officially and I’ve heard from others in a social setting.

Many of them I know personally, and they are people I trust.

“There are always two sides to every story but the people who have come forward to me, I’m confident they’re not making it up.”

What next?

Asked what needs to be fixed, a senior doctor said: “Better staffing is crucial. We need communication and transparency. We don’t know what the managers do and we need to see actionable change.”

The doctor says that management is capable of productive policy as shown with the initial Covid response team.

“It was really refreshing that there was a group of senior staff and managers that were able to institute some actual physical clinical change that was productive. It worked really well.”

However, this proved to be an anomaly.

“They can do it, it’s just whether or not they want to.”

One nurse told the Weekly to keep exposing what is happening for the benefit of staff and patients.

“Keep going, you will save lives.”

Refuse fees set to increase Kate Russell The cost of dumping rubbish is set to rise again this year.

During an infrastructure committee meeting last Thursday, councillors voted to approve a 15 per cent increase to solid waste refuse charges, 10 per cent to green waste charges, and increased charges for hazardous disposal at the Nelson Waste Recovery Centre. These changes will be effective from 1 July.

The increases are due to the changes to the Emissions Trading Scheme and increased national waste disposal levies.

Fees and charges at the York Valley Landfill will be increasing from $178/ tonne to $204/tonne. As a result, fees at the recovery centre for refuse will need to increase accordingly.

“We are facing increased costs to dispose of solid waste, due to an increase in the national waste disposal levy which recognises that disposal imposes costs on our economy, environment and society, and also locally the cost to dispose of green waste has also increased.

It’s important that waste disposal is a user-pay activity that is not subsidised by ratepayers,” says Alec Louverdis, group manager infrastructure.

Not increasing refuse fees the recovery centre would result in a loss of around $126,000 per year that is not catered for in any budgets.

The contract with Greenwaste to Zero

Mystery dog causes a stink Wednesday, 23 February, 2022 Since the article ran in the Nelson Weekly last week, Russell St resident Diane King has been offered assistance from Nelson City Council. “After all the trouble I have gone to, the council are coming to leave a dog trap - very effective apparently, so here’s hoping we catch it.” The council have told Diane that the mystery dog, which has been defecating in her garden for the past three months, may be coming to her garden as it is shingle, not grass. “A big thank you for your coverage of my dog issue, I am impressed.”

Refuse fees are set to increase from 1 July this year. Photo: Kate Russell. has increased by 10 per cent and green waste disposal costs also need to increase accordingly. Not increasing the green waste fees would result in a loss of around $8,500 per year.

In the last 12 months, the diversion of hazardous materials from landfill has dramatically increased, with the recovery centre collecting over 6,100 litres and 1,650 kg of hazardous mate-

rials. This increase is due to improved customer service from council kiosk staff, education programmes, and improved collection facilities. While this has aligned with the council’s intentions to keep hazardous material out of landfill, these successes will come at a small cost. The currently free service is set to cost $1 for two kilograms and additional quantities by $1 a kilogram.

Could you drive the local train?

Wednesday, 2 February, 2022 After the Nelson Train Society put the call out for more drivers last month in the Weekly, they received a “considerable response” according to society member Peter Lewis-Smith.

“We had about six people interested in helping out - but now we can’t run anything under the current circumstances, so we will wait,” he says.

With just five certified drivers, the Nelson Train Society members need more to keep the trains running at Founders Heritage Park.

Home vet nurse service comes to town Wednesday, 8 December, 2021 Vet nurse Bonnie Buttress-Grove says her business ‘Vet Nurse on Wheels’ has gone from strength to strength since the article ran in the Weekly in December. Bonnie offers the only home visit vet nurse service in Nelson. “It has been going well, the article definitely helped get the word out and I had a lot of bookings.”

A Nelson science teacher has temporarily swapped her classroom for the labs of the Cawthron Institute.

Gerd Banke, who has been a teacher at Nayland College for 17 years, has been selected as one of eight teachers in New Zealand to embark on a science teaching leadership programme.

The programme, funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and delivered by the Royal Society Te Apārangi, is designed to give science teachers practical science experience and leadership skills that they can use towards revitialising the science curriculum.

“It’s not just a programme for me, it’s a programme for the whole school,” Gerd says.

“It’s me going back to seeing how science plays out in the workplace, working alongside scientists who are emerged in science all day long.”

Gerd started the programme in January and will return to the classroom in term three with continued teacher-release time to analyse and lead changes to the school’s science curriculum based on the training and experience she’s been exposed to.

The programme also includes a leadership training course in Dunedin.

“What is nice about being at Cawthron is that there are so many different projects going on.

“In that way, I’m making lots of contacts within the organisation.”

Royal Society Te Apārangi arranged Gerd’s placement at Cawthron where she’ll predominately be working alongside marine scientists Xavier Pochon and Anastasija Zaiko to increase understanding of environmental DNA and its applications.

Xavier says it’s great having Gerd join their team.

“Gerd brings a new perspective that enables us to better devel-

op our project with education opportunities in mind.

The next generation has responsibility for implementing the science of today in tomorrow’s world.

“Working alongside teachers and schools is part of Thomas Cawthron’s legacy of using science to create a better future for us all.’’

Gerd co-heads the science department at Nayland College, which is where she kick-started her teaching career.

“I was a student teacher there and managed to get a job out of it,” she says. “Schools are such dynamic places and I really thrive on that.”

Gerd has also been an avid supporter of the Cawthron Scitec Expo, volunteering as a judge and being on the organising committee for several years.

Gerd says she is looking forward to bringing her knowledge back to the classroom.

“It’s an amazing opportunity.

I’m really seeing science in action.”

It might have been three months late, but winning the Supreme Business of the Year award still tasted sweet for Alaron.

The Tahunanui-based health food company has been on a massive growth spurt over the past two years, employing over 130 people in 2021 alone.

The company won an award at the Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce Business Awards 20 years ago so general manager Claire Quin says it’s nice to be back.

“It has been a big effort over the last few years, a lot of challenges but a lot of excitement.”

Alaron earlier won the NZME Large Business of the Year award at the event, which was held at the Rutherford Hotel on Friday night.

The awards were intially planned to be held in November 2021 but Covid restrictions forced organisers’ hands and it was moved to February 2022.

With the traffic light settings in place, only 100 people, mainly sponsors and entrants, could attend.

It was the first business awards the region had hosted since 2019, due to the Covid pandemic.

Chamber of Commerce CEO Ali Boswijk says it was a great event, considering the circumstances. “What we were able to deliver, in the end, was better than I had expected and seeing how much people enjoyed it was really lovely.”

Earlier, Ruru Homes won the Nelson Weekly Start-Up Business award. The business was a pivot for its owners Daniel and Fran Huelsmeyer after a downturn in tourism forced saw booking to their lodge dry up. “We had a tiny home built for us and wanted another but they said it would take

The company now has 50 staff.

Then the Mike Pero Nelson Giants took home the Small Business Award. Coach Mike Fitchett says it was a fantastic result for the club, which celebrated 40 years in 2021. “We haven’t won a championship for a few years, the offcourt team has bragging rights over the on-court team at the moment,” he joked. Then Cutting Edge Signs won the Mediaworks Medium Business Award with its innovatitive approach

to environmental issues and great team culture coming to the fore.

Nelson Environment Centre won the Wakatu Incorporation Environmental Business Award. Judges said the centre has had a positive and far-reaching impact across the whole community.

The centre celebrated its 45th birthday last year and delivered 160 tonnes of food through its Kai Rescue programme. “We have really felt the love and support.”

Gourmet Catering won the Innovative Business Award, which was collected by a thrilled Carole Shirley, who dedicated the award to her father.

Red Cross won the New Zealand King Salmon Community Impact Award with its Pathways to Employment programme which helps former refugees find suitable employment.

The night was wrapped up with two inductees into Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce Hall of Fame.

Wakatu incorporation chair Pāora Te Poa Karoro (Paul) Morgan and Pics Peanut Butter founder Pic Picot were both honoured on the evening.

Thanks to our sponsors, supporters, brewers and community. we look forward to seeing you next year!

Ambitious plans for Nelson Marina Erin Bradnock Local Democracy Reporter

The Nelson Marina is poised to be transformed into a worldrecognised facility providing new jobs, hospitality venues and recreation opportunities, according to its manager.

Nearing one year on the job as Nelson’s marina manager, Nigel Skeggs says it’s been a year of catching up with some ambitious plans in the works to revitalise the marina.

Nelson City Council took over management of the marina from Nelmac in June 2021 and Nigel says the team have since been playing administrative catch-up.

“There’s a bit of bad debt from people not paying their fees. All to be expected,” he says.

Marine industry consultant agency Wardale released research on the marina’s operations last March, which was part of the onboarding and working on its 10year masterplan.

Wardale found that there was a two-to-three-year waitlist for 12 to 14m vessel berths.

Poor water quality, parking, storage and the growing rate of boat ownership were also highlighted

Marina manager Nigel Skeggs says big changes are on the way. Photo: Erin Bradnock. as on-going issues for the marina.

A draft Nelson Marina masterplan was due from the newly-appointed marina team in November 2021 but was delayed until March 2022.

Nigel says the delay was due in part to the impact from Covid-19.

Wardale was based in Auckland and was unable to assess the marina during last year’s lockdowns.

He says more detailed aspirations would come out with the draft

masterplan, but he envisioned the marina becoming a hub for both the boating industry as well as the wider Nelson community.

“We really want to promote this as being a recreation area for all, a place to come and walk where there are services and coffee shops,” he says.

“We’re looking into the future, bars or restaurants or at least linking in the hospitality that is around this area.”

He hoped a centre of “boating excellence” would come to fruition where local talent in the boat building and repairs industry could work together.

“Traditionally, we’ve had a lot of that through the port and fishing fleets, but we’ve got a lot of talented rope workers and engineers and composite boat builders all here in Nelson.”

Nigel envisioned a service centre that would attract repair and refit

work locally, nationally and internationally.

“I think that has the most potential for Nelson in terms of economical development, creating more jobs and really livening this place up,” he says.

Work on a sea sports centre was due to start this year but Nigel says he had safety concerns for the current proposed site and an investigation into the right location would come as part of the masterplan process.

“With the boat ramp, the marina and non-powered watercrafts all in the same vicinity, we want to make it can grow alongside the marina and see it is done so in a safe manner that allows all users to be part of it.”

Nigel joined Nelson’s Marina after transforming Fiji’s Port Denarau Marina from a $3 million valuation to a $110 million valuation in 12 years as managing director.

He hoped to carry forward this ambition to Nelson’s marina, an undertaking he views as a unique opportunity for transformation.

Nelson company producing RATs Sara Hollyman If you’ve ever eaten food that’s been routinely tested for listeria, had a test taken at Nelson Hospital or your local vet, chances are you’ve used a growing Nelson company’s product without even knowing it.

Ngaio Diagnostics supplies medical diagnostic products to manufacturers, hospitals and vets across the country, but in more recent times their

focus has been on Covid-19 testing products.

Managing director Stuart Mckenzie says in the past three weeks they have ordered more than a million rapid antigen testing kits (RATs) to distribute across New Zealand.

“Our customer base has grown by thousands in just the past three weeks,” he says.

Stuart says since antigen testing began, they have had to hire three more staff to keep up with demand.

“We’ve never been this busy, without the extra manpower we just can’t do it.

“It’s been very long hours, seven days a week, working nights to come in and pack orders.”

Stuart says they will supply anything from one testing kit through to large orders of hundreds of thousands at a time.

He says they are supplying a lot of the big manufacturing companies locally.

“We are certainly supporting local where we can but at the moment the demand is national, so its quite hard to just pull out the Nelson people.”

The family-owned and run company was founded in 1991

by Stuart’s father, who he says has been brought back out of semi-retirement to help cope with demand.

Testing kits will be available for purchase directly through the Ngaio Diagnostics website in the coming week or so.

Powerboat regatta returns to Rotoiti max FretHey

Julian and William Stilwell will be competing in the national powerboat championship at Lake Rotoiti later in the month. Photo: Max Frethey.

Perfect timing.

The Lift N Shift Rotoiti Powerboat Club National Championship Regatta is returning to Lake Rotoiti this month.

The regatta, which will be held on March 12 and 13, will see powerboat racers from across the country compete as part of the national championship.

Local and five-time F1 champion Julian Stilwell will be competing in the hopes of winning his sixth national title.

But the road to victory could be difficult for Julian as the

races are tight and it’s often neck-and-neck between competitors. “It only takes pole position or different grid position to decide [the winner] and lap times are within the same second consistently across the field,” he says. “Anyone could win it.”

But he says that he’s been racing powerboats longer than most of his competitors, which could give him an edge in the regatta. “I’ve raced boats since I was seventeen,” he says.

Julian says he was born into the sport with his father and grandfather racing boats as

well, his granddad beginning racing way back in 1942.

William, Julian’s son, also races which makes the 14-year-old a fourth-generation powerboat racer. “It’s very much a family affair,” Julian says.

Rotoiti Powerboat Club president Chris Dufeu says there are currently 48 racers signed up for the regatta. He also says the event will be compliant with the government’s red traffic light setting. Spectators will be required to present a vaccine pass and will be split into “pods” of 100 people to comply with Covid-19 guidelines.

Bull swims 80km down river Jenny nicholson A bull that was swept 80km downstream and found alive at the end of the journey has become a bit of a local celebrity.

The bull’s trip from a farm on the West Bank of the Maruia River, over the Maruia Falls, and on to Westport has made news around the world.

Farmer Sarah Peacock, who farms on the West Bank of the Maruia River, says the bull was lost for ten days before it turned up in Westport.

It was one of three bulls

washed away from her property during the recent heavy rain. “That rain took farmers by surprise as the weather forecast had been for about 40mm of rain, but 150mm fell in a few hours causing havoc for livestock,” Sarah says.

She says a farmer in Westport heard snuffling in the bushes and, on investigation, found the bull. He contacted Sarah and Tony saying the bull, which is worth about $1800, “looked to have had an adventure”. The bull was due to be returned to the

farm yesterday. “It has taken a while to get it on a stock truck,” Sarah says. “We won’t know if there are any injuries until it arrives, but we will have the vet look at it.”

People from around the world have asked if the bull has a name, prompting Murchison Area School to set up a competition. Students can suggest a name for the celebrity bull with the winning student receiving a $100 PGG Wrightson’s voucher.

‘Hercules’ and ‘Inflatabull’ are a couple of suggestions so far.

The bull, inserted, swam 80km down river from Maruia to Westport after last month’s floods.

Further engagement for Hampden St closure Kate Russell A section of Hampden St will remain closed to traffic while Nelson City Council further decides whether to make the closure long term.

The intersection of Waimea Rd and Hampden St West has been closed for around 29-months as part of a trial to improve safety at the site, in particular, cycle crashes.

The matter was on the table at last Thursday’s infrastructure committee meeting, where councillors voted nine to three to go back and engage with the affected community before proceeding.

In August 2019, the council approved a 12-month trial closure of the intersection. In October 2020, because of Covid-19 lockdowns, the trial was extended for 12 months.

Since the intersection has been closed, crash statistics show significant safety improvements have been achieved and nearly 1,500 vehicle movements have been diverted to surrounding streets per day.

Records show there has been no recorded crashes at this location since the closure, whereas between 2012 and 2019 there were 14 reported crashes.

If the long term closure to vehicles is favoured, the council can achieve this by a determination that the relevant part of the road is footpath (rather than carriageway) under its general roading powers in the Local Government Act. It would remain legal road and would be regulated as footpath.

Councillors heard that Lock-

The intersection of Waimea Rd and Hampden St West has been closed for 29 months as part of a trial to improve safety at the site. Photo: Kate Russell. ing St experienced the largest percentage increase in daily traffic volumes because of the closure.

However, since active interventions, these changes have resulted in a decrease in speed and the average daily traffic volumes.

The closure has resulted in additional traffic on Franklyn St, which caused community concerns regarding pedestrian access across Franklyn St at Waimea Rd. However, the council has installed a pedestrian refuge which has had positive feedback.

The Shape Nelson engagement page has received 1,499 views from 782 unique email addresses, resulting in 93 contribution comments. During 2020, 82 responses were received with 63 per cent supporting a long term closure.

Targeted feedback was sought through a dedicated letter drop sent to 342 residents/ homeowners and business owners’ letterboxes.

This next round of engage-

ment will be the fourth and will include a concept plan drawing and questionnaire.

Cr Matt Lawrey voted against the recommendation, saying that deciding the future of this road now would be helping to create a “sustainable transport system”.

“We know it is doing a great job of keeping people safe ... we have asked the public what they think about this ... this, today, is an example of Nelson City Council being too riskaverse, taking too long to get on with stuff.”

Cr Rohan O’Neill-Stevens was one of the majority who spoke in favour.

“Ideally, we would be able to sign this off today … but it’s not delaying anything, it’s making sure we’re in the strongest position for this to be successful.”

It is anticipated that the results of the engagement and a report summarising community views on the proposal will be presented in either March or June.

WEDNESDAY 2 March 2022

Opinion Hi Henry, Many thanks for taking the time to raise these concerns.

I share your concerns around the safety of Rocks Road, which is why I’ve supported Nelson City Council and Waka Kotahi with their plans to upgrade Rocks Road, as laid out in the Nelson Future Access Study Business Case. After years of indecision, we finally have an agreed plan between Nelson City Council and Waka Kotahi. In my view, the plan to upgrade Rocks Road should have been signed off years ago. I have pushed Nelson City Council and Waka Kotahi to agree to this plan for the very reasons you have raised with me. It should be a safe road for walkers and cyclists to use.

The Business Case recognises the safety risks associated with Rocks Road, and includes the replacement of the seawall along Rocks Rd, and widening the road to include a dedicated and safe walking and cycling lane.

It is my intention to bring the Transport Minister Michael Wood to Nelson this year to show him the concerns I have around the safety of Rocks Road, and why these upgrades are so important for Nelson.

Well done. That's three more than the Government. Ollie Klotz

Has anyone found out if the council has sold part of the reserve to the developer? If so, why are council selling reserves, especially without consulting the public?

I live next door and it's so noisy.

But I used to see people walking up there in the evening with their dogs and kids.

So that would be three families of the 851 families waiting for Housing New Zealand houses in Nelson.

Jude Biggs Amazing work, well done. Pauline Malloch Residents concerned over Ngapua Reserve: Loved that reserve as a kid. We always met and explored. Lost one of mum’s expensive rings swinging on the rope swing up there about 33 years ago. Emma Louise All about the money for these developers and the council. I actually didn’t know about the meeting and would have gone. Hope my neighbours showed them the discolouration of our water way as was shared on this page. Maxine Foster This is not the developer’s land. They cut down the trees and promise to return it to its original state? How is that possible? Planting natives won't return it to anything like the condition it was before. Typical developers’ ploy. Clare Barton should be ashamed she let this

I used to live near this reserve. So sad to see it's being developed. Keryn Keene Excellent communication once again from NCC and Bayview developers, is it any wonder they get residents riled up? Andrea Warn Mandates get mixed response in sporting circles: Stopping kids from exercising is going to cost us later. Micaela Taylor I personally think if sport is mandated there will be a big decline in numbers and that would be sad to see.

Lisa Trusler My six year old boy was so excited to start football this year, only to have his first game and whole tournament cancelled the day before. Gutting decision. Jodie Lee

Then remove them. They actually don't have to be implemented. Shaz Nicholls Fiona saving one kitten at a time: I have one of her rescues, wee mischief Willy. What Fiona does is amazing. Her kittens are given so much love and care and she personally approves their new homes. Shaz Nicholls You are doing a fantastic job, Fiona. Keep up the good work, you will be rewarded somewhere along the way. What a kind person you are.

Debra McEwan Nominate a community group for $30k solar system: I'd like to nominate Tahunanui Kindergarten.

Mary Saxon Faulkner Habitat for Humanity Nelson is the organisation I would like to nominate.

Ah Lahn Ya I've nominated Victory Boxing. Good luck to all.

What a great prize. Shaz Nicholls Hockey Nelson has my vote. Cheryl Bell Skate Nelson needs this.

Danny Oliver I’d like to nominate the Victory Community

Ash Lindquist I would like to nominate YKids centre in Victory, Nelson. Fritha McDonald We can't wait to see all the nominations team.

Lightforce Nelson’s best in business celebrated: Fantastic, well done team Alaron. Sara Ching Congratulations to all the finalists and category winners. Julie Bensemann Waimea Dam needs $20M more than forecasted: This isn't news. This was expected. Plenty of people called this before it had even been approved.

Plenty of people are getting rich off this project. And the general public get poorer.

WEEK’S SPECIALS WE’VE GOT ALL YOUR MISSING INGREDIENTS.

Hayley McPherson has won a grant which will help her achieve her Bachelor of Teaching and Learning. Photo: Max Frethey.

Stoke woman awarded $3000 education grant Max Frethey Stoke resident Hayley McPherson has been awarded a $3,000 education grant from Soroptimist International of Waimea.

Hayley is currently in her final year of a Bachelor of Teaching and Learning at Canterbury University’s Nelson campus.

“I’m sure there are lots of people out there who are quite deserving of the grant, so I’m very privileged that I was chosen.”

The grant is available to select women aged 25 and up, who live in the Nelson/Tasman area while undertaking full-time study.

“It’s really set me up for my final year, as well as buying teaching resources for my classroom,” Hayley says.

Growing up, she says she didn’t have a strong relationship with her family and instead formed close relationships with her teachers.

“I really enjoyed school because of that reason,” Hayley says. “That’s what inspired me to get into teaching.”

At age 17, Hayley had to leave Nayland College midway through Year 13 to give birth to her daughter.

“When I had her, I actually went into a course at NMIT for physical education and nutrition,” she says.

“I could never just be a stay-athome mum, as much as I enjoyed it, I always needed to be busy doing something.”

One of her placements on that course saw Hayley teaching chil-

dren about health and nutrition.

“I knew that was where I was meant to be, working with children in some shape or form.”

She then pursued her Bachelor of Teaching and Learning and has had two other kids in meantime.

Hayley says that balancing her three children and working towards her degree is hard.

“I’m lucky enough to have an amazing relationship with my partner’s parents, I love them,” Hayley says.

“They’re so good with the kids.

They’ve been a great support for me while I’ve been studying.”

On top of being a mother of three and studying towards her degree, Hayley is also a support worker.

“I’m really passionate about helping people,” Hayley says. “I didn’t grow up with much support from my family, so I think I’ve always had a strong desire to help people.”

But once she completes her bachelor’s degree, she doesn’t want to stop there. A master’s degree is on Hayley’s horizon.

“Whatever I choose to do, whether it’s behaviour management or special ed teaching, that’s where I see myself ending up.”

The Waimea Soroptimists’ panel noted Hayley’s “resilience and determination to succeed academically” in their announcement of their decision to award her the grant.

This is the ninth year the Waimea Soroptimist Club has offered its annual education grant to local women engaged in tertiary study.

assionate, professional, excited and spirited are all words that spring to mind when you talk to locally-based painter/ decorator Racquel Thomas about her industry. Based in Richmond, but covering the Top of the South, Racquel mastered her trade locally and has now branched out on her own with her new painting business recently celebrating its onemonth anniversary. Already in hot demand, Racquel is booked up with a 3-month waiting list but says she is happy to take on new bookings.

“I have been painting for seven years and I absolutely love it, to this day, I love it.

You have to do something that you are passionate about in life and I am a girl that loves to paint. I love the creativity of it, no matter the size. The bigger the job is, the harder it is, the more I’m into it!”

Racquel Thomas Painting is fully-equipped for all aspects of exterior and interior decorating, wallpapering, spray-painting

and house washing services, with an impeccable attention to detail.

“With exterior paints I offer a free house clean a year later. That way I get to sight my work and make sure that my paint job will last for that ten-year guarantee of the paint.”

Emily, Racquel’s daughter, has now joined her mum in learning the tools of the trade with an apprenticeship. Wanting to follow in her mum’s footsteps of being happy in her work, Racquel says Emily has a “natural knack” for the industry.

“The biggest joy I get is when clients cry with happiness when they see the result.

That is the real kicker for me. I just love it. I am there for the client, not for myself, and I try and keep my prices competitive. The clients almost become part of the family during my time with them. Every one of them takes a special place in my life.”

Sophie honoured again Jenny nicholson Sophie Weenink is no stranger to community awards even though she is just 16-years-old.

Her latest national award is The Young Legend Award, one of the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards, honouring her outstanding voluntary service and leadership in her community.

The award is given to three individuals across the country each year for their work in litter prevention, waste reduction, recycling promotion and community beautification.

Sophie’s first major project was organising a beach clean-up when she was just 13. On that and subsequent clean-ups, volunteers picked up over 200kgs of rubbish.

“We picked up a stolen laptop and handed it to the police, couches, mattresses, and people’s personal rubbish,” Sophie says.

She says that despite regular cleanups, she hasn’t noticed a decrease in rubbish.

In between the larger beach days, Sophie organises river clean-ups.

While environmental issues are important to Sophie, she is also active in helping support those who are hungry or homeless. Using Facebook posts, she has fundraised for the Nelson’s homeless community. During lockdown, she called ministers, MPs, and those involved with housing to advocate for the homeless.

“It was difficult because the homeless were supposed to be in housing in lockdown but there weren’t enough beds available,” she says.

“Some of the shelters that were open then have shut now so people have nowhere to go.”

Seeing her mother active in voluntary work impacted Sophie, and by the age of nine, she was helping with different events. She has recently moved to the Crimson Academy for schooling, and says while that keeps her very busy, it also allows her the flexibility to remain involved with the voluntary work that is important to her.

Tips on writing the perfect resume 1. Keep it short Your current CV may include information about every job or course you've ever done but, in New Zealand, CVs are usually only two to three pages long.

Employers mainly want to know if you can do the job.

Your CV should include: • your contact details • work experience that is relevant to the job you want • your skills that are relevant to the job.

2. Give examples of your skills When writing about your skills, don't just list them – make sure

that you give examples of how you've used each skill.

Identify what you did, the setting in which the activity was carried out, and what happened as a result.

3. Make sure your CV is up to date If you want an employer to contact you, you need to keep your CV up to date with your latest address and telephone number.

• Include the phone number that you are most easily contacted on, whether it's a landline or cellphone number.

• that you have a suitable answerphone message.

• Include an email address on

your CV. If you don't have an email address, set one up.

4. Include referee contact details Most New Zealand employers will ask for two referees who they can contact to ask about your work. Make sure that the contact details for your referees are current, and check this by contacting them yourself. Tell them about your plans and ask them to read your CV – you may get some good advice from them.

Some New Zealand employers prefer you to have New Zealand work experience. If you are having trouble finding work, consider taking an entry-level job or doing voluntary work. This can also be a source of referees.

5. Put yourself in the employer's place Once you've written your CV it's important to ask yourself these three key questions:

NELSON

Health Care Assistant - Experienced and Trainee

Nelson Hospital Casual roles • Interested in a career in Nursing in the future?

• Are you currently studying Nursing at NMIT? • Great opportunity to gain a ‘foot in the door’ at your local hospital.

• Work alongside our nursing team to help provide services to patients.

• Opportunity to learn and dovetail work with other commitments.

Closing date: Open until filled (applications will be reviewed as received).

Ref: N22-120.

Online application, CV and cover letter are required before your application can be processed. Enquiries can be made to Human Resources Nelson telephone: (03) 546 1274 or email vacancies@nmdhb.govt.nz Register for job alerts and view full details of vacancies

www.nmdhb.govt.nz/careers

• When an employer scans my CV, will they think "This CV looks interesting"?

Employers have to sort and reduce a pile of CVs to shortlists of two or three people. They will respond better to a clear, well laidout CV than a long, disorganised one.

• When an employer reads my CV fully, will they think "This person has skills we need"?

Employers are looking for someone who matches the job description. Adjust and target your CV to highlight things that fit the job you are applying for.

• When an employer is shortlisting CVs will they think "This person is worth meeting"?

Employers are thinking about what you can offer them. Give people a sense of who you are and what you do best.

else to check your CV to see that it makes sense, is well formatted and has no spelling or grammatical mistakes.

7. Write a cover letter When you send your CV to an employer, make sure you include a cover letter. Your cover letter should: • explain why you want the job • explain what you can offer the employer • highlight skills, qualifications and experience that you have that match the job.

6. Get it checked It is important to get someone

SITUATIONS VACANT Planning your job search Here are 4 steps to help you plan your next job search.

1. Reflect Take a moment to stop and reflect upon your career. Consider where you are in your career and, crucially, what role you ultimately aspire to. Once you define your ultimate career goal, you can identify the promotions and skills required to get there.

Ask yourself such questions as: • Where do I see myself in ten years’ time?

• What job/s will help me bridge the gap to reach my goal?

• What have I achieved in my career to date that I’m proud of?

• Is my ultimate career goal still the same as it was last time I looked for a job? If not, what’s changed?

• What are my strengths and weaknesses?

• What skill gaps do I need to overcome to reach my goal?

2. Define your next move Once you have identified your career goal and the steps required to get there, you need to define your immediate next career move. It’s important to look beyond the duties and experience you need to acquire and consider the bigger picture, such as the culture in which

you thrive and the benefits you want.

Ask yourself such questions as: • What role represents the next sensible step towards my long-term career goal?

• What skills do I need to develop in my next role?

• Do I want a job offering room for progression?

• Are learning and development opportunities important?

• What kind of culture brings out the best in me?

• What kind of work environment brings out the best in me?

• What salary and benefits am I realistically looking for?

Download our Job Search Planner to take control of your job search. Our planner guides you through these stages to focus your job search and lead you to success.

3. Get to work Once you know what your immediate next job should be, it’s time to update your CV and LinkedIn profile.

This includes creating an eyecatching professional summary that positions you as a suitable candidate for the job. It should focus on what you can offer an employer, not what you want out of your next job.

Ultimately, both your CV and

LinkedIn profile should contain enough evidence to demonstrate the relevancy of your previous experience and successes so that a hiring manager or recruiter cannot overlook you.

4. Plan your week It’s important to break your job search down into small actionable tasks. Otherwise, you may feel overwhelmed and give up before you even start. You can do this by identifying weekly goals and then breaking them down into daily tasks so that you keep your job search on track.

Examples of such manageable tasks include: • Identify at least five prospective employers; • Find and apply to at least one job opening; • Schedule a meeting with a recruiting expert; • Share with your recruiter what you want in your next job; • Network with existing connections and build your online connections; • Sharpen your interviewing skills – both for in-person and video interviews Once you’ve created your plan, stick to it! Refer to it regularly, update your weekly planner each Monday and allocate some time every day to spend on your job search.

Keeping your electricity network safe and reliable We’re working on a significant project to replace some of the wires on our network.

In the 1950s and 1960s, a lot of development occurred to electrify the Tasman area. Power authorities of the time built about 1200km of new high voltage power lines to bring electricity to many people who had never had it before.

Over sixty years later, it’s time to replace some of these wires in order to keep our network safe. The ones we are replacing are made from light-gauge copper, which, like anything, can wear out over time – mostly through a process called annealing that can cause them to become brittle.

Replacing wires is a difficult job that involves the use of heavy machinery and crews of line workers spread over multiple work sites. This makes it unsafe to do the work at night time.

It also involves working on long spans of line, which means large numbers of people may be affected and more than one planned temporary power outage may be required to complete each job.

Unfortunately some consumers will have their power interrupted more often than they are used to while we replace the wires. Sometimes we will be able to use one of our large generators to keep the power on but most of the time this won’t be possible because of the way the network is built.

Electricity account owners of affected properties will be notified of upcoming outages, as we do for all of our planned outages.

The wire replacement work will be spread over the next ten years in pockets located throughout most of our network area and it will take place alongside our normal routine maintenance programme.

While the work will cause some inconvenience, it will keep the network in good condition so that a safe and reliable electricity supply continues to be available for all consumers in the Network Tasman region.

Connecting cultures through the beautiful game Jonty Dine They come from incredibly diverse backgrounds but have one thing which unites them, a love for football.

Later this month will see players from all over the planet come together for a two-day tournament at Nelson’s Neale Park.

Organiser Ahmed Osman, originally from Somalia, understands firsthand the power of sport for migrants.

“Sports in general is so important in helping new people connect with others, make friends, adapt to a new culture and learn a language.”

His Nelson FC side features players from almost every continent.

“We have got so many diverse players, our coach is from Iran, we have Kiwis, South Africans, Columbians, Indians that’s the beautiful thing.”

He says the one thing that’s connecting them all is one round ball.

“Every Tuesday and Thursday we are here for two hours, having a kick around, laughing and just having a good time, these guys make friends for life.”

Ahmed says the aim of the tournament is to help resettle new refugees and migrants into the region.

Organisers hope to create a festivallike atmosphere which showcases the plethora of different cultures in Nelson.

The tournament finals on the Sunday will coincide with the Multicultural Festival, which will run next door at Founders, from 11am – 4pm.

The event is being organised by Nelson City Council, Sport Tasman, Community Action on Youth Alcohol and other Drugs (CAYAD Nelson Tasman), Multicultural Nelson Tasman and Nelson Bays Football.

Sport Tasman’s Lily Joiner has been involved in similar initiatives in Wel-

lington and says she has witnessed the power that football can have on the lives of new migrants and refugees, who may feel disconnected from their new community.

Teams from across the Top of the South are invited to register for the 11 a-side, 60-minute games, and teams can be compiled in a variety of ways whether that is by nationality, ethnicity, workplace or mixed social groups.

It is hoped that the winning team will be able to represent Nelson Tasman at the New Zealand Ethnic Football Festival later in the year.

Players need to be aged 16 years and older.

If any businesses or individuals would like to get behind the event, or to register a team, contact Jeni at Jeni.T@ sporttasman.org.nz Multicultural Football Tournament March 19 and 20, Neale Park, Nelson.

The Nelson Nyxons picked up its first win of the Shrimpton Trophy on Saturday. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport.

Nyxons make cricketing history Jonty Dine It was a watershed moment for women’s cricket in Nelson when the Nyxons hosted a major competition for the first time while also picking up a dominant victory over Manawatu at Saxton Oval on Saturday.

Nelson cruised to a six-wicket win in the Shrimpton Trophy which was its first win as they upset the second-placed Manawatu side.

Winning the toss, Manawatu opted to bat but soon regretted that decision as they found themselves in a deep hole at 54/5.

Eden Pettigrew and White Fern Claudia Green picked up seven wickets between them as Manawatu was all out for just 150.

The Nyxons made easy work of the modest target, getting home in the 37th over as Kate Gaging led the charge

with 64.

Skipper Claudia Green says the occasion was not lost on her side.

“We talked in the huddle about enjoying it together and making the most of the opportunity, and the results will take care of themselves.”

She says to not only play at Saxton for the first time, but to win in such onesided fashion illustrates the growth of the game for Nelson women.

“Having the experience of playing on Saxton’s with a mixture of senior and developing players really shows the strides Nelson cricket are making in supporting the women’s game. Giving us the opportunity to play on such a great ground shows the commitment to the women’s game in the region.”

The Central Districts seamer says, as a youngster, she would watch the men play at

the oval and think how she would love to play out there one day.

“To have that come to fruition for the Nelson Nyxons is credit to the commitment of Nelson cricket and the players themselves. I’m super excited to see how this group of players continue to develop and the continuing growth of the women’s game in Nelson.”

Meanwhile, in local premier action, Josh Smith guided Stoke/Nayland to a clinical seven wicket win over Nelson College.

Josh finished unbeaten on 61 as Stoke reached 183/3 after 34 overs.

In the first innings, 4/37 from Timothy O’Connor restricted Nelson College to a subpar total, Jordan Kelso scoring the majority of the runs with 70. It was a highscoring affair at the Botanics, Athletic College Old Boys

racking up the largest total of the competition against Waimea Toi Toi United.

Jonty Raxworthy laid the foundation with 75 at the top of the order, before James Graham kept up the momentum with 77 and Reuben Smith finished things off blasting a quickfire 42 as ACOB reached 302/7.

Ryan Flowers and Will Bixley each made 45 in reply as WTTU put up a brave fight, eventually dismissed for 227, Reuben Smith picking up 4/44 in the 75-run win.

The final match of the round saw Wakatu knock over Wanderers/Motueka by 31 runs at Victory Square.

Sunny Dhaliwal 4/13 helped restrict the hosts to 167 all out, Brad Smith top scoring with 41. Gursewak Virk led the charge with the ball for Wakatu, claiming four scalps as Wanderers fell in in the 48th over for 136.

The medals keep coming for Nelson rowers.

A crew of twenty joined almost 800 other rowers at the National Rowing Champs in Twizel from February 14-18, coming home with a medal haul of seven.

Macy Kappely and Nicole Campbell each won one gold, two silver and a bronze medal to cap off a highly successful rowing season.

Both rowers have secured U.S. Rowing Scholarships, but before she heads overseas, Nicole will also trial for the NZ U23 Squad.

“It was very exciting to watch Macy and Nicole race during the week at Nationals,” said head coach Tim Babbage.

“They are great athletes who train hard and deserve their success.

But I am equally proud of all the Nelson rowers who represented the club at Twizel.”

The final medal tally was one gold, three silver and three bronze medals with Nelson crews making a further 12 A Finals and three B Finals.

The regatta was run successfully under strict protocols to adhere to the RED Covid Traffic Light set-

tings with 773 competitors from across the country taking part.

The club’s gold medal was won in the Women’s Senior Coxed Eight.

Macy Kappely and Nicole Campbell along with team-mate Lucy Munro formed a composite crew with five rowers and a cox from Wairau to take line honours in a convincing win over their nearest competitor.

Macy, Nicole and Lucy, with Meg Flanagan of Wairau, won bronze in the Women’s Senior Coxless Quad in a very close finish with just over a second separating second and third.

All four of these rowers completed Year 13 last year and with two of them heading to university and the other two taking a gap year, it was a fitting way to end their rowing with Nelson.

Macy and Nicole also took home silver in the Women’s Senior Coxless Pair, backed up by a silver in the Women’s Premier Coxless Pair.

Nelson Rowing Club always welcomes new members.

Valued Team brings Wealth of Experience

Three years ago, Brendon and Rochelle Mathews first opened The Bike Station in central Nelson and today the vibrant, expanding business has fantastic stock and a passionate, experienced team.

Rochelle says contrary to what some may think, Ebikes aren’t a lazy option.

“Ours are pedal-electric, so you still have to pedal but you get assistance as

you need it, so they’re suited to anyone, including those with a medical condition.

“Using an E-bike allows me to get uphill quickly and ride for longer.

They’re great enablers. I can do a

Staff are a massive part of The Bike Station. “Without them, we wouldn’t be here today,” Rochelle says. From the outset, Brendon and Rochelle have been focussed on having high-quality staff and, because they all have significant experience with bikes, the couple have 100% faith in their ability to provide fantastic service.

Yohann, who is from the UK, says, “It’s been useful to experience how bike shops operate in other countries, including New Zealand.

I picked Nelson because of its awesome mountainbiking trails and The Bike Station had cool brands, a nice workshop and it’s a great place to work.” Meanwhile, two-time national track cycling champion and national record

holder Kaio, loves working at The Bike Station while teaching young bike enthusiasts (in schools) how to ride and it helps build up the local junior base.

Hunter, who has recently left college has been working fulltime at the store since November last year.

“I’ve done a lot of mountainbike racing, so my passion has inspired me to work here as a bike mechanic and be part of the mountainbiking community. It’s an awesome business and getting to work on bikes all day long is great.”

Lindsay, who has been with The Bike Station for just under two years, says he had been looking to get back into the bike industry as a mechanic after a stint in Whistler, Canada. “This is a nice place to work; a good bunch of guys. They have the same kind of passion that I have for mountainbiking, so it’s a no-brainer really.”

Finally, Sam began working for the business in December after moving from Auckland.

“I started as a customer and ended up working here; I love the team; we all get on well. It’s always a good sign of a great workplace

Loved and respected by Betty’s family, and nieces, nephews and cousins throughout the world. Well known and respected in Nelson and Nelson’s Marina community. Tom died in hospital surrounded by friends, a few weeks after a stroke. An open air memorial service to celebrate Tom’s life will be held at a future date to be notified. In lieu of flowers, donations to St. John or ‘Doctors Without Borders” would be appreciated. Messages to 1/76 Halifax Street East, The Wood, Nelson.
