Alleged bullying culture at DHB Jonty Dine Despite an investigation into her behaviour, nurses at Nelson Hospital allege a senior colleague is continuing to bully staff.
A group of nurses allege the culture is so toxic that it put one into a deep depression. “Our hospital system is broken, and it is almost beyond repair,” one nurse, who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity, says. In 2021, an investigation into the nurse’s behaviour was carried out and she was stood down with pay for four and a half months following 40 complaints.
The nurse, whom Nelson Weekly has decided not to name, has since returned to work. However, according to a group of nurses, her behaviour has not changed. Nelson Marlborough Health’s
general manager people and capability, Trish Casey, confirmed, as a result of the investigation, actions were taken to improve the

The Patel family came within just a few feet of losing both their business and their home when a fire broke out at their Stoke dairy. It was just before midday on Friday when Amkit Patel heard the alarm go off in the storage room and then saw the flames. He and wife Jimal quickly got their children and evacuated the premises. What followed was an agonising five-minute wait for the fire crews to arrive. “It was very scary, we were worried because of the three big gas bottles which are right next to our bedroom,” says Jimal. Thankfully, the Stoke Volunteer Fire Brigade was able to extinguish the blaze before it reached the gas bottles and potentially cause an explosion. Chief fire officer of Stoke Vol-

Their storage room was full of spices, meats, and oils from India which were all destroyed. There have also been lingering psychological effects for the family. The Patels live in a house behind the dairy and have not slept since. “Every time I close my eyes I see the fire,” Jimal says. They say many customers and locals have visited to check on the family. “Everyone has been very supportive; we are just trying to go back to normal.” The Patels do have insurance but are awaiting a report as the cause of the fire is still being investigated.

Alleged bullying culture continues at hospital from page 1 working environment. “There has been a process of looking into some concerns in relation to that employee. There have been recommendations, actions and suggestions which are being implemented.” The nurses allege the senior colleague has been allowed to stay on as she has been seemingly successful at running what they say is an underfunded department. Nurses also say there is a high staff turnover. “I have seen about 50 nurses come and go,” one says. “They are getting rid of good people, people who care.” Nelson Hospital’s director of nurses, Sandy McLean-Cooper, says she is disappointed to hear of the allegations and encourages any nurses with concerns to come to her. “It is sad to think nurses feel they can’t put their hands up.” She says care is at the heart of everything they do. “We take this really seriously; people don’t come to work to not feel safe.” Sandy says they try to settle grievances at a management level before it escalates. “We are fairly confident we have good processes in place.” She hopes nurses felt comfort-

Man calls 111, gets arrested Tracy Neal A Nelson man warned by police against abusing police emergency call-centre staff was arrested while still on the phone, swearing at them. Timothy Patrick Gargiulo admitted in the Nelson District Court on Monday, charges of using a phone offensively and failing to comply with obligations in relation to a search of a computer, after making a string of offensive calls to the police emergency number. The court heard that Gargiulo, 37, made 11 calls to the police emergency 111 number on 11 January, asking to speak with police, but without a genuine reason. Police prosecution said the lines are constantly flooded with calls from around the country, and phone lines had to be kept clear for those needing genuine, urgent assistance. Gargiulo made the calls late
A Nelson man appeared in Nelson District Court on Monday after repeatedly abusing police call-centre staff. Photo: File. at night, and into the early hours of the 12 January, asking to speak with police, but did not reveal any genuine events for which he needed help. He was asked repeatedly by call-centre staff if he needed help and if there was a genuine emergency. Gargiulo then abused the call-takers, swearing at them and threatening them in various ways. Despite requests for him to stop calling unless he had a
genuine emergency, he continued with the abuse and name-calling. Police arrived at his Quarantine Rd address and arrested him while he was still on the phone to the emergency callcentre. His cellphone was seized as evidence, but Gargiulo refused to hand out his passwords. Defence lawyer Kelly Hennessy told the court that Gargiulo suffered a string of health conditions for which
he was taking pain medication. He had also been drinking and the combination had triggered his behaviour, for which he was sorry, and also embarrassed by. Judge Tony Zohrab accepted that Gargiulo’s health issues had been a trigger, and that he now understood how upsetting his conduct must have been for the busy callcentre staff, who had enough to do dealing with genuine callers. “It was wasteful of these people’s time, and for the people doing this work it was incredibly abusive.” Gargiulo was convicted and discharged on the charge of failing to comply with the search of his device, and on matters around making the abusive calls, he was ordered to pay $750 emotional harm reparation. Judge Zohrab ordered that the money be paid to the Salvation Army.

Children line up for first vaccine Nelson region still among Jenny Nicholson Amelise Kelling says it’s an exciting week for her – not only does she turn eight but is also having her first Covid-19 vaccination. She was one of the many children lined up outside the Richmond Vaccination Centre on Monday morning, happy to be one of the first 5-12 year olds to receive the vaccination. There are 476,300 children aged between 5 and 12 throughout the country who became eligible for the vaccine on Monday. More than 120,000 doses of the paediatric Pfizer vaccine have been delivered to more than 500 vaccination sites around New Zealand. As with the adult Pfizer vaccine, children will need two doses to be fully protected. These are usually given at least eight weeks apart. Dr Nick Baker, chief medical officer, Nelson Marlborough Health, says it’s great to see the rollout begin for children. “Due to their social nature, this age group tend to have a higher chance of catching Covid-19 and more chances of spreading it,” he says. He says the new variants of Covid-19 are more sticky for young people.
Amelise Kelling, 8, says she is excited to be receiving her first Covid-19 vaccine. Photo: Jenny Nicholson. “The incidence of severe disease and complications in children with Covid-19 is similar to the rate of severe diseases seen with other diseases we vaccinate against. However, generally Covid-19 has milder effects in children, with some children becoming severely ill and requiring hospitalisation.” This child vaccine is both smaller in volume and a lower dose than the adult vaccine. It is also administered using a smaller needle. A parent, caregiver or legal guardian must accompany
the child for vaccination to provide consent. Amelise’s mother, Ronda Kelling, says her daughter has been asking about the vaccine for a long time. “We want to visit grandma and poppa in America when things like Omicron calm down.” When Amelise receives her second vaccine, the family will be fully vaccinated. For Ronda, it is especially pleasing that Amelise will have had one vaccine before she goes back to school. “Especially with the wee scare at Enner Glynn School last year, it is good to know she will have started her vaccinations.” Nick says the Pfizer vaccine has been through clinical trials with children in this age group. “In general, the side effects that were reported were mild and similar to those from other routine vaccines. He says parents can help to prepare children for vaccination. “Children do pick up on emotions from parents, so being calm yourself will help. Making sure the children have had something to eat and drink beforehand and that they are wearing clothes that make it easy for the vaccinators to get to the upper arm.”
sunniest in the country

Despite not taking the sunshine crown for 2021, Nelson remained in the top three regions for the country. According to NIWA, the wider Nelson region had 2537 sunshine hours, coming in third behind Napier with 2566 hours, and New Plymouth, who took the title with 2592 hours. Nationally, 2021 was the warmest on record, with several locations reaching record daily maximum temperatures. Farewell Spit had a record high average temperature of 16.1 degrees Celsius for 2021 and reached a maximum of 29.6 degrees on 26 January 2021, the highest temperature to be recorded there since records began in 1971. The hottest temperature of the year was 39.4 degrees in Ashburton also on 26 January. On 6 May 2021, Nelson recorded 22.9 degrees, the highest daily maximum temperature for May since records began in 1862. NIWA statistics show New-Zealand’s warmest year is consistent with the overall pattern of global warming.

“No matter the reference period, seven of the past nine years have been amongst some of our warmest on record.” NIWA climate database scientist Raghav Srinivasan says that in the last decade, NIWA has reported many record-setting high temperature extremes. “We did this work to quantify those patterns and we can say much more confidently that climate change is no longer a thing of the future. It is happening to us now. The extreme events that we were once warned about are playing out across the globe, with droughts, storms and forest fires happening a lot more often than even just a couple of decades ago.” While it was the warmest winter recorded in New Zealand, the winter also brought heavy rain to the Nelson, Tasman, West Coast and Marlborough region. NIWA describes the July event that saw the Buller River recording the highest flow rate ever recorded in a New Zealand river as a ‘notable event.’ According to the NZ Insurance Council the flooding resulted in an estimated $97.2 million in privately insured damage, ranking third for weather-related disasters in the past half century.

Big brothers bring big changes Max Frethey Mike Thom and Wyatt Maxted meet up most weeks and hang out together. “I feel like I have a third dad,” 8-year-old Wyatt told me. “‘Cause I’ve got a birth dad, a step-dad, and Mike.” You couldn’t ask for a more glowing endorsement of Mike and the Big Brother mentorship programme he represents. The Big Brothers Big Sisters programme pairs adult mentors with children in need of a positive role model. These mentors, known as big brothers and sisters, are paired with the children, their little brothers and sisters, based on mutual interests. The mentors then meet up with the children at least once a week and simply hang out together, building a relationship. “We both like going to the beach… we both like reading,” Wyatt said. “We fished once, we loved that…. I got twelve fish!” “He caught more than I caught,” Mike conceded good-naturedly. Chelsea Routhan, programme director of the Nelson-Tasman Big Brothers Big Sisters team said that children who receive the mentoring often exhibit “greater confidence… and form better re-
lationships with others.” Wyatt’s mother Jessica has noted this in Wyatt as well, even though he’s only been getting together with Mike for three months. “It felt like [Wyatt] needed a good male mentoring role model,” Jessica said, mentioning that he’d had some emerging anger issues. But after spending some time with Mike each week, she noted that Wyatt’s already more confident and outgoing and less reserved than he once was. However, as beneficial as this programme seems to be for Wyatt and many other young boys, there is a severe shortage of male mentors. It took over two years for Wyatt to be paired with Mike.
Currently, Big Brothers Big Sisters have a waiting list of 54 children who needed mentors, with most of them being boys. This lack of male mentors has led to the creation of a 22 Men for 2022 campaign in the hopes that more men can be encouraged to sign up as mentors for the programme. “That dependability of doing something with someone once a week and making sure that you’re doing something for someone else’s interests completely is just really helpful holistically,” Mike said. If you are interested in becoming a mentor visit www.bigbrothersbigsisters.org.nz, or call the team on 03 545 9864.
Wyatt and his Big Brother mentor, Mike, hang out together at Tāhunanui beach with their dogs Skye and Lilly.

The Nelson Hospital shuttle buggy is back in action after a five-month hiatus. The much-utilised free service was shut down in August last year due to Covid-19, but now equipped with hand sanitiser, it is ready to get people up the hospital hill once again. “People have missed it,” says Kathy Cuthbert, who got the buggy service up and running back in 2006. Volunteer Clive Workman says they carry an average of 40 passengers a day. “But one day I did 48 passengers in just four hours.”
The buggy has a brand new $6,000 lithium battery to power it on its journeys, which was funded by donations. The whole setup is run by volunteers and sponsors, including the Nelson Rotary Club. Volunteer Russell Egan says they would love to get some other businesses on board to help too as there is always maintenance to be done. Russell also says they are also in need of more volunteers to drive the buggy.

Youth-led cafe opens in Stoke Sara Hollyman Stoke’s newest cafe has opened its doors and is being run entirely by young people from the community. #SYP Cafe opened last Wednesday at the Stoke Youth Park. Whanake Youth volunteers will run the cafe, learning vital skills to support them into adulthood. Whanake manager, Lee-ann O’Brien says the concept for the cafe was driven by young people. “When we were initially doing consultation that came up as something that young people wanted.” She says the next couple of weeks will involve volunteers getting barista training from Sublime as well as generally finding their feet in the cafe. “Proper Crisps have also been helping them with marketing and have been like business mentors.” Lee-ann says they will learn skills from basic maths and using an ana-
logue clock, through to invoicing and stocktaking. “In term one it will be voluntary only, so they will learn how to make a profit and what to do with that.” The young people will be completely in charge of how the cafe runs and what do they do with the profits. She says they will be encouraged to think about whether it goes back into the community, to charities or into something else. The volunteers will have ongoing support from Whanake Youth project lead, Jess van Arendonk. Lee-Ann says that applying for and starting a new job can be very daunting for young people. “These guys have a soft launch, nothing’s wrong, they get advice and encouragement every step of the way,” she says. The cafe is currently open every afternoon from 12-2.30pm and once school returns, will open every day after school.

Nelson Tasman kindergartens have been named among the best sunflower growers in the country. Dalton’s Sunflowers in Kindergartens Project named their winners at the end of last year from more than 235 kindergartens across the country. Stoke’s Birchwood Kindergarten took out the national prize for the overall best photograph of two of their threeyear-old students.
Grove Street Kindergarten claimed their sixth regional title of tallest sunflower, growing a 240cm monster. The goal of the biennial project, which this year involved 866 kindy kids from the Nelson Tasman Kindergarten Association, is to create a platform for children to learn about gardening in a practical way. They develop skills and a basic understanding of plants, through sowing seeds, growing seedlings, planting them
out and daily care of their plants. Lynette Cain from Birchwood Kindergarten says both the children and staff had great fun participating in the project. “Some of our children also took sunflowers home, to grow and share with their whanau.” As for winning the best overall photo in the country, Lynette was “super proud” of the achievement, and the children’s ongoing support with the garden.

Slow summer concerns tourism sector Max Frethey and Jenny Nicholson Local tourism providers have been buoyed by a “short and sharp” holiday period but are concerned that the lack of international travellers will continue to bite into their bottom line. Air New Zealand will bring almost 90,000 customers on 2700 flights to the region between 15 December 2021 and 31 January 2022. Despite these domestic visitors providing a welcome boost for Nelson accommodation providers, some are still concerned the busy few weeks over Christmas and New Year might not continue through the rest of summer. The Beachcomber Hotel in Tāhunanui has found that while they’ve been full over the Christmas and New Year’s period, the number of for-

the rest of the summer were less clear with more people booking less than a week in advance of their stay. “People are tending to book later, maybe a week or a few days in advance,” Andrew says. “Some people are sceptical about the weather and there is some uncertainty with Covid.” Lake Rotoiti Water Taxi owner operator Hamish Simpson says the season has been “short, sharp, and sweet”. “It was super dead before Christmas,” he says. “Then we worked super hard the 10 days from Christmas.” As people returned to work, things quietened down for Hamish. He says that even with a great 10 days over Christmas, profits would be about 30 per cent down on pre-Covid times. This seems to be a common view in the industry.
ward bookings is looking “less strong” for the next few weeks, compared to previous years. Manager Chris Roden says that while Nelson still had many travellers, the numbers weren’t getting bolstered by visitors from overseas who traditionally keep regional accommodation providers busy through late January and into February. Hotel Nelson manager Gagan Rishi echoed similar concerns. He says that while the end of December and first week of January had seen a good number of guests, their forecast for the rest of the summer was looking less certain with “fluctuating” numbers in the upcoming weeks. Quinney’s Bush owner Andrew Quinney says they were at capacity until 6 January, with numbers remaining high into last week. Bookings for
A drug related harm reduction organisation has made its first trip to Nelson with around 20 groups having their substances checked. Know Your Stuff NZ were set-up outside the Netsky event at Trafalgar Park earlier this month testing drugs for party goers. Media and advocacy lead Yvonne Booysen says the clinic went really well, although they saw less groups than they would’ve had they been set-up inside the event. She says the results of testing has been variable over the past few years but a big worry has been chemicals

Yvonne says reactions vary when people find out their drugs are not what they expected. “It can be disappointing for people that spent a lot of money.” She says two thirds of people choose to dispose of their product then and there. Yvonne says it’s not just about testing drugs but reducing drug-related harm in the community. “80-90 per cent of pepole who come to Know Your Stuff say their attitude towards drug use changes.” She says they would like to expand their clinics to regular testing in locations so it’s available to those not attending events.

Opinion Neglect of upkeep of planting on roundabouts and traffic islands on State Highway 6 coming into and out of Nelson. I’ve been meaning to write about this problem for over a year and am reminded as I drive past. They had been well-maintained for years; I think a local company had the contract for them then. They have been neglected for (maybe) the last 2-3 years. They were given a going over last year but nothing this year that I can see. They are such an eyesore and make me feel ashamed that Nelson has roading areas like this now. Visitors coming into Nelson, especially via the airport and travelling out to Richmond, would notice them; the roundabout at the end of Whakatu Drive and Richmond Deviation being No. 1 worst of the lot and bottom of Nayland Road area being 2nd. I think Waka Kotahi and their contractor need to give an explanation as to why they have failed to maintain these roundabouts. Why they have let them fall to the state they are in now. We need to see some action on these areas and have them brought back to what they used
to look like, something that is pleasing to the eye. Does the contract of their care need to be given to another company who will actually get them back up to their former well-maintained look? Maybe new planting needs to be put in and everything there pulled out, as there are a lot of weeds in there that have seeded into the soil making it problematic for weed free upkeep. R Evans Not your average ‘cat lady’: Brenna, you are a true hero. Chrissie Ward We are so grateful to have her as a member of the Nelson Lost and Found Pets NZ site as we quite often get posts of deceased pussy cats and Brenna is always there to help.

Head into the woods at the Theatre Royal Max Frethey The Nelson Youth Theatre Company is putting on a production of the classic fairytale musical ‘Into the Woods JR’ at the end of January at the Theatre Royal in Nelson. Director Richard Carruthers says the performance will be the culmination of three months of hard work by the company, and their first production of 2022. After an “extended break” brought about by the most recent nationwide lockdown in August, the Youth Theatre company is “rearing to go,” Richard says. “[The performers] are excited to get back on stage again.” Richard says the group have never done a production in January before, so it was “a bit of a risk”. He was unsure whether a January show would bring in many people over the school holiday season or if they would be busy with other summer endeavours.
Tickets are on sale now for the show which will run from 26 - 29 January and will feature, among others, the talents of Katerina Salcin-Watts as Cinderella, Moana Williams as the Wolf, Charlotte Hall as Little Red Riding Hood, Addison Ives as the Wicked Witch, and Neo GunnStringer as Prince Charming. Into the Woods JR offers a cautionary tale: be careful what you wish for. The hour-long story follows the plight of a baker and his wife who wish for a child, Cinderella who wishes to attend the king’s festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give some milk. However, a happily ever after is not necessarily guaranteed. The show will go on under both the orange and green levels under the Covid-19 Protection Framework. The company also plans to put on a performance on Frozen in the Easter season in April and Beauty and Beast in July.

Discover the joy of ballet in 2022 – enrol at The Nelson Academy of Dance, which has been led by principal Gillian Francis for over 40 years. “I am delighted to have Lily Sinclair teaching alongside me,” says Gillian. Lily was 14 years old when she started dancing at Gillian’s studio, which is older than most beginners. “I always wanted to be professional dancer, but after passing my exams, I started teaching ballet which I really enjoy,” says Lily. “In my classes, my students don’t just learn ballet, they learn discipline and deportment, and they also get to be in shows and competitions.” Gillian hopes that their students can participate in Coppelia this year, a wonderful toyshop ballet, which was cancelled last year due to Covid. Students aged 3 years and upwards are welcome to enrol via the academy’s Facebook page or by phoning Gillian on

Nishan’s journey from Nepal to Nelson Jonty Dine

Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Hardened by his experience playing on the streets of Nepal, Nishan Biswa says he relishes the physical side of football. The 20-year-old striker has been recruited by Nelson Suburbs after three successful seasons with Nomads in Christchurch. With family members already based in Nelson, Nishan has made the move to continue his promising career. Growing up in an isolated village in Nepal, Nishan’s father would have to cycle two hours a day to get himself to school or work. Not wanting his children to endure such hardships for education, he opted to move the family to New Zealand when Nishan was 12. “They wanted a better future for us,” he says. “It was pretty exciting but sad to leave some of my friends and family behind.” Nishan admits he had very little knowledge about the structured game after playing all his football on his village streets. “I would play footy every day, but I didn’t know anything about the rules or the positions.” However, it didn’t take him long
to adapt as he quickly garnered the attention of local rep coaches. After just a year, Nishan received an invitation to trial for the Canterbury Dragons youth side. Nomads coach Andy Pitman asked Nishan to join Nomads when he was just 17. There, he
The best young swimmers in the Nelson/Marlborough region made a splash at Hampden Pool on Saturday for the Town and Country Swim Championships. The Kalani brothers again dominated the event as the Nelson swimmers took home 18 gold medals between them to add to their impressive collection. Tasman Swim Club’s Josh Aymes was a standout in the men’s 15 and over category, winning seven of his events while Samantha Wilson won five in the women’s. Shuttersport’s Chris Symes and Evan Barnes were poolside to capture the action.
scored 10 goals in 10 games during his first season. He credits the hours spent in Nepal honing his skills for the rapid ascent in the game. “When I was young, every day after school and lunch time it was just football, football, football.”
He says it was also on the streets of Nepal that he learnt not to take a backward step. “I’m super aggressive, I don’t mind the rough game.” Nishan has settled into the city and landed himself a job at a bakery which he enjoys despite the
4am starts. Though he hasn’t lost at Saxton Field in his two previous visits, Nishan will be hoping for a better result when he takes the pitch for Suburbs after being red carded during his last match in Nelson. “I want to keep that winning streak going.”

Swimming: Hayden Squance cruised to his sixth win in race nine of the Rylock swim series in Nelson harbour on Thursday, but there were changes in the established order back in the field. Peter Burrell scored an upset, taking second place from Terry Bone. Peter’s best place so far this season is fourth, so it’s a significant result for him. After winning race one in the women’s section, Emily Chadderton has had to wait eight weeks for a repeat, a result which puts her back at the top of the points table. In race nine over a 1200m
He coached Tasman B in 2018 and has been a Mako assistant coach for the past three seasons. Dan played for the Huia and Wanderers clubs, becoming Mako No 27 and playing 29 games as hooker. He coached the Tasman under-19 side from 2018-20 then stepped up to the Mako ranks for the past two seasons. Tasman Rugby Union CEO Lyndon Bray was thrilled with the new coaching team. He was particularly happy with the fact they would offer “great continuity from within the previous coaching group”. “Those two have been fully involved as assistant coaches … they have been part of our development pathway for a few years now. “I’m just excited that we don’t have to go outside the region to try and find someone. “I think it’s great for the players and our management group and our staff that we have that continuity of approach around the Mako.”
He also suggested that given the Mako success in recent years it was doubly important to maintain the culture that has been built up. “[Gray and Dan] are two different personalities, with different strengths … I think they will make a really good partnership. “In the Mako environment we have had that type of partnership in the past and it is a model that has worked particularly well.” Lyndon said a big focus of the union’s work at the moment was connecting back into community rugby. He says a particular focus will be on building the health and strength of the clubs. “[Today’s appointment] is exciting for the clubs, from a rugby standpoint, to have two [Mako] coaches on the ground, one in Blenheim one in Nelson, who will be able to spend a lot of time in club rugby,” he said at the time. “That will be a huge advantage for us.”
course, swimmers had to battle an incoming tide over the first 600m, with the wind from the opposite direction kicking up bigger waves as the race went on. In the short course, Keshia Linyard won from Keisha Old, continuing their back-andforth battle. It was Keshia’s second win of the series, taking her to the top of the leaderboard by the narrowest of margins. Rommel Wilson took his first win in the men’s section, placing third overall.
his schedule won’t include the Commonwealth Games. After seven years with the Dutch Jumbo-Visma team, Bennett has moved to UAE Team Emirates. The 31-year-old started 2022 with a fourth-place finish in last week’s New Zealand Cycle Classic in the Wairarapa. Before heading back to Europe, Bennett will defend his national road title in Cambridge next month. Bennett will train in Nelson and Christchurch over the coming weeks to build up for the nationals and then it will be straight on a plane to the UAE. Bennett has been a professional rider since 2011, winning the Tour of California in 2017.
