‘Thanks’ for one of Friday’s heroes<br />

FLOWERS AND messages of<br />

support have been left outside<br />

the Redcliffs shop of a man who<br />

tried to stop alleged gunman<br />

Brenton Tarrant on Friday.<br />

Abdul Aziz, who owns<br />

A-antiques new and secondhand<br />

goods and furniture<br />

on Main Rd, confronted the<br />

gunman when he started<br />

shooting people at the Linwood<br />

mosque.<br />

Mr Aziz hurled an eftpos<br />

machine at the gunman.<br />

The gunman then fled but<br />

returned and fired at Mr Aziz.<br />

Mr Aziz said he ran, weaving<br />

through cars parked in the<br />

driveway, which prevented the<br />

gunman from getting a clean<br />

shot.<br />

Mr Aziz spotted a gun he had<br />

abandoned and picked it up and<br />

squeezed the trigger – but it was<br />

empty. The gunman ran back to<br />

the car for a second time.<br />

“He gets into his car and I<br />

just got the gun and threw it on<br />

his window like an arrow and<br />

blasted his window,” Mr Aziz<br />

said.<br />

criticism<br />

from<br />

fire chief<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

ONE OF the region’s top fire<br />

chiefs has joined the criticism<br />

over Canterbury University’s<br />

rocket launch which led to a<br />

grass fire on tinder dry Banks<br />

Peninsula.<br />

Deputy principal rural fire<br />

officer Al Hutt said the launch<br />

was not handled well.<br />

“The picture we were painted<br />

by the aerospace people (at the<br />

university) was that there was<br />

zero risk of this happening and<br />

I did even ask them what would<br />

happen if it crashed on the spit<br />

and they assured me it wouldn’t<br />

but it clearly did,” he said<br />

yesterday.<br />

Mr Hutt also questioned the<br />

timing of the launch during<br />

a total fire ban season, which<br />

remains in place.<br />

Last week <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />

revealed Canterbury University’s<br />

UC Aerospace had attempted to<br />

become the first student group in<br />

the world to launch a rocket into<br />

space.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />

THOUSANDS OF people will be<br />

pounding the pavements and roads at the<br />

annual City2Surf on Sunday.<br />

It’s Christchurch’s iconic event, which<br />

The Star has put on for decades.<br />

This year it will be the 45th time the event has been held. It<br />

used to go from the Square out to<br />

QE II, but a certain event on February 22, <strong>20</strong>11, changed all of<br />

that. It now goes from Centennial Park and Hansen Park to<br />

Ferrymead.<br />

Each year there is a buzz as thousands gather in the parks<br />

for the challenge that lies ahead – whether it be going as fast<br />

as you can, or simply completing the journey for personal<br />

satisfaction.<br />

On page 12 today, we talk to some of the people taking part.<br />

Bitcoin ice cream store closes<br />

In Brief<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

AFTER TWO years in business,<br />

a young Sumner entrepreneur’s<br />

ice cream enterprise has come to<br />

an end.<br />

Charlie Kavanagh opened<br />

Charlato when he was 18. His ice<br />

cream store, which was closed<br />

last Wednesday, became the first<br />

in the country to accept Bitcoin<br />

as a form of payment.<br />

Mr Kavanagh said 10 to 15<br />

people paid using Bitcoin during<br />

the two years the store was<br />

open.<br />

“It was definitely worth doing,<br />

a lot of people would see the<br />

poster and have a bit of a laugh.”<br />

Bitcoin is a digital currency,<br />

which exists only online, and is<br />

one of more than a thousand<br />

“cryptocurrencies.”<br />

It has come with harsh<br />

warnings from investors<br />

and traders worldwide for its<br />

volatility and lack of regulation.<br />

However, Mr Kavanagh said<br />

the precarious nature of the<br />

cryptocurrency did not have<br />

a significant impact on his<br />

business.<br />

“I only had $50 invested in it<br />

so it didn’t really affect me.”<br />

Mr Kavanagh worked for the<br />

previous owners of the gelato<br />

container and decided to take<br />

over when they closed.<br />

“I was just hanging out with a<br />

few mates, we were going down<br />

to the pub to have a few drinks<br />

and I said ‘I’m going to start an<br />

ice cream business’ and within<br />

two weeks it was open.”<br />

Mr Kavanagh, who is<br />

Farewell to<br />

Smith & Boston.<br />

currently in the final year of a<br />

commerce degree at Canterbury<br />

University, said he was closing<br />

so he could work towards<br />

his masters in information<br />

systems in Germany. But he did<br />

Catch-22 for Black Cat<br />

Rocket launch<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

BLACK CAT Cruises is in a<br />

catch-22 situation over the<br />

ongoing saga of its disability<br />

ramps on Akaroa wharf.<br />

In July last year, the Banks<br />

Peninsula Community Board<br />

gave Black Cat Cruises three<br />

months to remove all nonconsented<br />

structures, such as<br />

disability access ramps, seating,<br />

signage and canopies.<br />

But the two ramps remain in<br />

place nearly five months after<br />

they were meant to be removed.<br />

Black Cat Cruises chief<br />

executive Paul Milligan told<br />

the Banks Peninsula<br />

Community Board at its<br />

meeting on Monday that if the<br />

ramps were removed the Black<br />

Cat Cruises’ building would<br />

become non-compliant.<br />

“We are not asking the<br />

council or community board to<br />

bend the rules here. If we could<br />

get rid of the ramps, we would,”<br />

he said.<br />

The community board has<br />

also received advice from city<br />

council staff, saying if the ramps<br />

were removed the building<br />

would become non-compliant<br />

and may be closed down.<br />

However, Akaroa Fishermen’s<br />

Association head John Wright<br />

said the group wants to see the<br />

HON AMY ADAMS<br />

MP FOR SELWYN<br />

Working hard for our communities<br />

ONGOING: The unconsented disability ramps at Black Cat<br />

Cruises continue to be debated.<br />

ramps removed.<br />

“We are definitely sticking<br />

by our guns. We require the<br />

unconsented structures to be<br />

removed,” he said.<br />

Mr Wright previously told <strong>Bay</strong><br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> News the combination<br />

of the disability ramp and<br />

crowds of tourists from cruise<br />

ships were a real issue.<br />

“There are some days where<br />

it is impossible to get a chiller<br />

truck on to the wharf to unload<br />

our fishing vessels. If it’s a hot<br />

day and we’ve got fish on the<br />

deck, it spoils in the hot sun.”<br />

The community board<br />

requested city council staff to<br />

continue to negotiate changes<br />

to access structures on the<br />

wharf and that any structures<br />

which could not be removed<br />

at present be addressed in the<br />

redevelopment of the wharf.<br />

draws criticism<br />

•From page 1<br />

The launch was made from<br />

remote Kaitorete Spit near<br />

Birdlings Flat on <strong>March</strong> 3.<br />

The rocket did not get out of<br />

the Earth’s atmosphere and came<br />

back down on the spit, causing<br />

a fire. It was supposed to have<br />

crashed into the sea. The fire was<br />

put out by the students involved<br />

in the project before the Little<br />

River Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

arrived.<br />

Said Little River Volunteer Fire<br />

Brigade acting station officer<br />

Matt Ledgerwood: “With a bit of<br />

bad luck it could have been a lot<br />

worse, luckily the grass was quite<br />

short and there was no wind.”<br />

Rocket launches do not require<br />

a fire permit.<br />

But Fire and Emergency NZ<br />

has the legal ability to prohibit<br />

or restrict activities in certain<br />

circumstances.<br />

Mr Hutt said they would be<br />

taking a harder line with any<br />

future rocket launches.<br />

“In this particular activity, we<br />

have a bit of case history where it<br />

has gone wrong, whereas before<br />

we had nothing. So it would<br />

have been difficult to impose<br />

restrictions on people but now, if<br />

they came back, I would be able<br />

to say last time this happened<br />

so I am going to impose some<br />

restrictions.”<br />

Canterbury University said last<br />

week there were no current plans<br />

for more launches in the area.<br />

The launch was also criticised<br />

by nearby residents.<br />

Little River Wairewa<br />

Community Trust chairman<br />

Robert Burch labelled the rocket<br />

launch as a “silly thing to do.”<br />

“Why are they launching a<br />

rocket when we have a total fire<br />

ban?” he said.<br />

Birdlings Flat resident Sue<br />

Morrow also had concerns.<br />

“It’s bloody stupid doing that at<br />

this time of year when it is tinder<br />

dry,” she said.<br />

The rocket launch was part of<br />

the international race to become<br />

the first university group to blast<br />

a rocket beyond the Karman line.<br />

The Karman line is 100km<br />

above the earth’s surface and<br />

is widely recognised as the<br />

boundary to outer space.<br />

The University of Southern<br />

California’s rocket propulsion<br />

laboratory set the highest altitude<br />

reached by a university group in<br />

<strong>March</strong> <strong>20</strong>17 with 44km.<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

MORE THAN <strong>20</strong>,000<br />

households across Banks<br />

Peninsula may have to<br />

pay a targeted rate for pest<br />

control.<br />

Environment<br />

Canterbury’s proposed<br />

Pest-Free Banks Peninsula<br />

strategy would affect<br />

21,276 rateable properties<br />

on the peninsula.<br />

Public consultation on<br />

the proposal has closed<br />

and it will go to a hearings<br />

panel next month before<br />

the plan is finalised.<br />

Different properties<br />

would pay different rates,<br />

depending on their size<br />

and value.<br />

“It would be based 80<br />

per cent on land value, and<br />

<strong>20</strong> per cent on land area.<br />

The targeted rate formula<br />

would be approximately<br />

$5 per $100,000 land value<br />

plus $0.65 per hectare of<br />

land,” said Maree Willetts,<br />

ECan team leader of strategy,<br />

planning, biodiversity<br />

and biosecurity.<br />

Ms Willetts said the<br />

project would focus on<br />

eradicating feral goats and<br />

controlling pests, such as<br />

TARGETS: Environment Canterbury is planning a<br />

targeted rate to help eradicate all pests on Banks<br />

Peninsula by <strong>20</strong>50.<br />

Examples of the annual cost for the<br />

proposed targeted rate:<br />

•800m² property in Sumner, $455,000 land<br />

value: $22.85.<br />

•1000m² property in Lyttelton, $240,000 land<br />

value: $12.09.<br />

value: $15.84 p.a.<br />

•95ha property in Little River, $600,000 land<br />

value: $91.97 p.a.<br />

possums, feral cats,<br />

ferrets, stoats, weasels and<br />

rats.<br />

The project aims to help<br />

meet the goal of a pest-free<br />

peninsula by <strong>20</strong>50.<br />

“The removal of pest<br />

animals from the Banks<br />

Peninsula will ensure<br />

indigenous species become<br />

more abundant and<br />

widespread across the<br />

peninsula and into the<br />

city,” she said.<br />

Lyttelton church garden comes to life<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

ELIZABETH Barrie was<br />

heartbroken when she saw the<br />

state of the garden at Lyttelton’s<br />

St Saviours at Holy Trinity<br />

church.<br />

“The weeds were taller than<br />

the rose bushes,” she said.<br />

Since then, Mrs Barrie has<br />

been on a mission to restore the<br />

garden to its former glory.<br />

After commuting from her<br />

home in Redcliffs three to<br />

five times a week for the last<br />

five months, Mrs Barrie has<br />

achieved this. She has weeded<br />

the garden, planted roses,<br />

petunias, cosmos, cornflower,<br />

portulaca hydrangea and a<br />

lemon tree.<br />

Mrs Barrie, who grew up in<br />

Lyttelton, was baptised and<br />

married at the Holy Trinity<br />

Church, which was on the<br />

site until it was demolished<br />

following the earthquakes.<br />

“When I was a child and<br />

I used to go, there was this<br />

lemon tree under the corner of<br />

the garden, so the other day I<br />

planted a little lemon tree.”<br />

However, Mrs Barrie said<br />

there was still work to be<br />

done.<br />

“It is an ongoing issue really,<br />

it is a beautiful spot, it is a<br />

community thing, it is so much<br />

more than just a church.”<br />

The priest of the Parish<br />

of Lyttelton Reverend John<br />

McLister commended Mrs<br />

Barrie’s efforts.<br />

“We are very grateful for<br />

what she has done, we have had<br />

people come in for weddings<br />

and funerals who have been<br />

very appreciative of her work,”<br />

he said. St Saviours Church was<br />

moved onto the Winchester<br />

St site after the Holy Trinity<br />

Church was demolished.<br />

Rev McLister said the garden<br />

had been restored to its former<br />

glory but there was still work<br />

to be done on the rest of the<br />

grounds. “The grounds are<br />

still badly damaged, the stone<br />

masonry is badly damaged and<br />

it is a work in progress. It will<br />

take years to restore it back<br />

to where it used to be and a<br />

considerable financial cost.”<br />

City council<br />

applies for<br />

NZTA funding<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

THE CITY council is applying<br />

for funding for a section of the<br />

Coastal Pathway.<br />

The section between Shag Rock<br />

and Sumner Surf Life Saving Surf<br />

Club is estimated to cost about $6<br />

million.<br />

City council planning and delivery<br />

transport manager Lynette Ellis<br />

said this section of the Coastal<br />

Pathway would be completed to<br />

schedule even if the New Zealand<br />

Transport Agency did not grant<br />

the funding.<br />

“NZTA subsidise between 50<br />

and 75 per cent of eligible parts<br />

of projects. Construction on this<br />

section of the pathway is already<br />

underway,” she said.<br />

Landscaping and lighting<br />

improvements are also part of the<br />

project expected to be completed<br />

by mid-October.<br />

Ms Ellis said the entire project<br />

when completed would provide a<br />

multi-functional pathway to benefit<br />

the community and visitors.<br />

“The asphalt path will run<br />

between Shag Rock and Gollans<br />

Point, and will then transition to<br />

a boardwalk along the front of the<br />

car park and the Sumner Surf Lifesaving<br />

Club where it connects with<br />

the existing memorial walkway.”<br />

Tourist numbers threaten ‘fragile’ Akaroa<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Akaroa Civic<br />

Trust chairman<br />

Mike Norris<br />

has his say<br />

on how mass<br />

tourism is<br />

impacting<br />

Akaroa<br />

SINCE 1969 the Akaroa Civic<br />

Trust has been protecting the<br />

town’s beauty, history and<br />

character.<br />

In 1999, Heritage New Zealand<br />

registered Akaroa as a historic<br />

area. Mass tourism now poses<br />

threats to Akaroa, and the civic<br />

trust’s aims to prevent damage<br />

to Akaroa’s fragile character and<br />

ensure the long-term well-being<br />

of the community.<br />

It is hard to appreciate Akaroa<br />

when its streets are clogged with<br />

buses and visitors shuffling past<br />

street stalls. The longer-term<br />

impacts include the loss and<br />

privatisation of open public<br />

spaces and reserves.<br />

Infrastructure developments<br />

to cope with huge daily spikes<br />

CONFLICT: Mike Norris says more needs to be done to manage<br />

the increasing number of cruise ship passengers and tourists<br />

visiting Akaroa.<br />

in tourist numbers are difficult<br />

to accommodate, as Akaroa is<br />

sandwiched between the sea<br />

and steep hills, and has limited<br />

capacity.<br />

Britomart Reserve near the<br />

wharf is one of the few green<br />

public spaces and is used for<br />

family picnics and recreation.<br />

The city council has placed unconsented,<br />

temporary toilets on<br />

this highly-sensitive area. The<br />

city council also fails to properly<br />

maintain the town, which is<br />

looking run down and overused.<br />

Cruise ship passengers are<br />

bearing much of the blame for<br />

harming Akaroa’s character,<br />

but pressure is also coming<br />

from an increasing number of<br />

independent travellers, many in<br />

campervans.<br />

Small ships of several hundred<br />

passengers present few problems.<br />

Tourists staying for several days,<br />

eat in the town’s restaurants,<br />

shop and sustain businesses<br />

which residents also need and<br />

use. Sustainable tourism has<br />

long been the lifeblood of the<br />

local economy, but if Akaroa’s<br />

character is damaged, these<br />

visitors will stay away.<br />

The city council is developing<br />

a new visitor strategy to assist<br />

business owners as they work<br />

through the transition of large<br />

ships returning to the Port of<br />

Lyttelton. Cruise ships will<br />

continue to visit Akaroa, but<br />

hopefully on a more managed<br />

schedule, with less impact on the<br />

town’s limited infrastructure.<br />

The civic trust recognises that<br />

many businesses have invested in<br />

servicing the market presented<br />

by the temporary increase in<br />

cruise ship visits, but with the<br />

completion of the Lyttelton<br />

terminal everyone needs to look<br />

for a new tourism strategy which<br />

is sustainable and will replace<br />

some of the lost business.<br />

Akaroa needs to protect its<br />

authentic character and ensure a<br />

local community survives against<br />

high visitor numbers, which put<br />

both character and community<br />

at risk. Lonely Planet has already<br />

recorded unfavourable comments<br />

advising visitors not to bother<br />

with Akaroa on busy cruise ship<br />

days, and the town’s businesses<br />

could be seriously impacted<br />

simply through negative social<br />

media.<br />

Fete and music festival to restore Governors <strong>Bay</strong> jetty<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

A FETE and music festival will be<br />

held next week in a bid to restore<br />

the Governors <strong>Bay</strong> jetty.<br />

The Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />

Community Association and<br />

Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Jetty Restoration<br />

Trust have joined forces to<br />

organise the annual fete and a<br />

“save the jetty” music festival<br />

on <strong>March</strong> 30 at the Allendale<br />

Reserve.<br />

The Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Jetty<br />

Restoration Trust is currently<br />

raising money and working with<br />

city council on a project to restore<br />

the jetty.<br />

The jetty has been closed since<br />

<strong>20</strong>11 after an inspection from<br />

engineers found it to be unfit for<br />

public use.<br />

Trust secretary Louisa Eades<br />

said $735,000 has already been<br />

raised towards the project.<br />

However, she said the restoration<br />

project was likely to cost $3<br />

million in total.<br />

“We are working with the city<br />

council to get them to allocate<br />

more money towards the project<br />

in the Annual Plan. If all goes to<br />

plan, we would like to start the<br />

project in the spring, but that<br />

totally depends on fundraising,”<br />

she said.<br />

UNSAFE: The Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />

jetty has been closed since<br />

<strong>20</strong>11 after an inspection from<br />

engineers found it to be unfit<br />

for public use.<br />

and music festival will go towards<br />

the restoration of the jetty.<br />

The fete will run from noon-<br />

4pm and include entertainment,<br />

stalls, a fire brigade<br />

demonstration, white elephant, a<br />

vintage car showing, food and a<br />

pop-up bar.<br />

From 6-10pm, the trust will<br />

hold the “jetty music festival.”<br />

Local bands will provide<br />

entertainment and there will<br />

be food stalls and a pop-up bar<br />

run by Two Thumbs Brewing<br />

Keeping measles away<br />

KEEPING MEASLES at bay<br />

has been our top priority.<br />

It’s been excellent, I’ve<br />

barely driven further than<br />

30km the whole time.<br />

Vittoria has thoroughly<br />

enjoyed the car seat reprieve.<br />

In spite of this, it was me<br />

suffering in the car.<br />

With all the measles cases<br />

popping up in the region, we<br />

booked Vittoria in for her<br />

next stage of immunisations<br />

as soon as we could.<br />

Unfortunately, that meant<br />

8.30am.<br />

But Vittoria and I needed<br />

to stay in Waikuku and<br />

we couldn’t move the<br />

appointment.<br />

With the rush on the<br />

measles vaccine, I didn’t want<br />

to risk missing out.<br />

Anyone who’s ever done<br />

the North Canterbury to<br />

Christchurch commute will<br />

understand why this is a bit<br />

of a stretch if you don’t leave<br />

early enough.<br />

So, for the first time in a<br />

long time, I woke up before<br />

Vittoria and then in turn<br />

woke her at 6.30am.<br />

Having said that, we didn’t<br />

leave until 7.45am.<br />

By the time we hit Main<br />

North Rd, we were knee<br />

deep in traffic, time was<br />

ticking and my road rage was<br />

kicking in.<br />

I was sweating, watching<br />

the minutes creep by.<br />

Meanwhile, Vittoria was<br />

chilling in the back seat,<br />

having a sip of water when we<br />

were forced to crawl along.<br />

If you were driving there<br />

at the same time, I’m sorry,<br />

I definitely called you some<br />

very carefully selected words.<br />

Not swear words, of course,<br />

as bubs might pick that up.<br />

No, I likely called you a<br />

VITTORIA<br />

& Matt<br />

spoon or a muggy fluffer.<br />

I need not have stressed<br />

really, we got there just in the<br />

nick of time to wait in the<br />

waiting room for the vaccines<br />

to be ready.<br />

Now, having whinged<br />

about myself, I need to extol<br />

the virtues of my daughter –<br />

because she did great.<br />

She cried a bit when the<br />

needles went in (just two<br />

this time) but was running<br />

around outside smiling and<br />

laughing 2min later.<br />

She was even her happy self<br />

for the rest of the day.<br />

But we’ve not long noticed<br />

that she’s pushing a molar<br />

out. So watch this space as to<br />

whether her happy self sticks<br />

it out.<br />

Exhibitions on<br />

Sumner Rd<br />

reopening<br />

THE HISTORY OF Sumner<br />

Rd has been captured in two<br />

exhibitions celebrating its<br />

reopening.<br />

The exhibitions, which are<br />

on at the Lyttelton Library and<br />

the Mataku Takotako: Sumner<br />

Centre until April 28, tell<br />

the story of the road and the<br />

important role it has played in<br />

linking the communities.<br />

They have been put together<br />

to mark the reconstruction of<br />

Sumner Rd, which is set to reopen<br />

to traffic for the first time in eight<br />

years at 6pm next Friday.<br />

“Since Sumner Rd opened in<br />

1857 it has played a vital role in<br />

Christchurch’s transport network,’’<br />

said Lyttelton community<br />

librarian Annette Williams.<br />

Ms Williams said the road also<br />

played a role in the defence of<br />

Christchurch against possible<br />

enemy attack.<br />

“In the late 19th century, when<br />

there were fears the Russians<br />

were going to invade, gun<br />

emplacements were installed at<br />

strategic points along Sumner<br />

Rd.”<br />

The exhibitions detail the<br />

engineering work that has gone<br />

into keeping Sumner Rd open for<br />

the past 160 years.<br />

Who’s taking part in the<br />

It’s the 45th anniversary<br />

of the Star Media<br />

City2Surf. Reporter<br />

Anan Zaki spoke to<br />

some of the participants<br />

aiming to be at the start<br />

line on Sunday<br />

Aaron Cooper, 43<br />

Mr Cooper is set to take part<br />

in his first City2Surf and will do<br />

the 14km race.<br />

“I just want to keep fit and test<br />

the legs on running the distance.”<br />

Mr Cooper plans to run a<br />

half marathon<br />

(21km) – which<br />

is on his bucket<br />

list – and<br />

believes this is a<br />

step towards the<br />

goal.<br />

“It’s the<br />

Aaron Cooper<br />

first time I’m<br />

running 14km.<br />

I’m a surfer,<br />

I’m not really a runner. I used<br />

to play rugby until I was 21 . .<br />

. and, yeah, it [running] is just<br />

something I’ve always wanted to<br />

do,” he said.<br />

Mr Cooper’s wife often takes<br />

part in multi-sport events but<br />

she will greet him at the finish<br />

line as the couple have two young<br />

children.<br />

“When she gets fit, we’ll<br />

definitely be doing other races as<br />

a team,” he said.<br />

David Clark,<br />

29<br />

Taking part in<br />

the 14km event,<br />

Mr Clark is<br />

looking for a new<br />

challenge. It will<br />

be his second<br />

David Clark time entering the<br />

City2Surf.<br />

“It’s just a wee challenge to just<br />

test myself for a bit of fitness,” he<br />

said.<br />

“[The first time] was good. I<br />

want to try something further, I<br />

did the 6km [last year] and want<br />

to try the 14km.”<br />

He has been training hard<br />

for the event and says he will be<br />

ready for the race on <strong>March</strong> 24.<br />

NEWBIE: Hailey McConchie will be running in her first<br />

City2Surf this year.<br />

“Currently I’m doing it myself<br />

but we’ll see if my partner does it.<br />

That will be just a wait and see.”<br />

Hailey McConchie, 25<br />

The mother of two used to be<br />

focus on body building, but since<br />

having her second child last year,<br />

she’s switched to running.<br />

It will be her first City2Surf.<br />

“I’ve never been a runner.<br />

People who tend to lift weight do<br />

not like cardio whatsoever,” Mrs<br />

McConchie said.<br />

To lose weight after pregnancy,<br />

she took up running. “I’ve lost a<br />

lot of my baby weight . . . I started<br />

an eight-week challenge and lost<br />

about 6kg,” she said.<br />

Getting into running was<br />

difficult.<br />

“At first it felt like a long time<br />

to get running, even that first<br />

kilometre. It felt like ages,” Mrs<br />

McConchie said.<br />

She will be taking part in the<br />

6km event. “Every time I see a<br />

race I just enrol myself and just<br />

build myself in it.”<br />

Mrs McConchie has heard<br />

great things about the City2Surf<br />

but couldn’t take part in it last<br />

year as she had just given birth to<br />

her second child a month before<br />

the event. “I’d like to keep my<br />

running up [this year]. It’s not<br />

something I really enjoy but once<br />

I find my rhythm 2-3km in, that’s<br />

when I can see why some people<br />

are addicted to running,” she<br />

said.<br />

Kelly Clements, 46<br />

Mrs Clements<br />

doesn’t live<br />

far from the<br />

start line near<br />

Centennial Park.<br />

She says the<br />

City2Surf is a<br />

good excuse to<br />

Kelly<br />

Clements<br />

not pay for a gym<br />

membership.<br />

“It’s just my<br />

one thing that makes me head<br />

out and train each year. It’s<br />

not too far being only 14km.<br />

Rather than paying for a gym<br />

membership, I sign up and it<br />

makes me run,” Mrs Clements<br />

said.<br />

This will be her fourth<br />

consecutive City2Surf. “A friend<br />

got me into running and it was<br />

that whole give it a go, it’s a<br />

reasonably flat course and lots of<br />

fun,” she said.<br />

Unfortunately her friend<br />

How to get involved in the<br />

City2Surf<br />

•Entry forms are available<br />

online, at Pak’n Save and<br />

New World supermarkets,<br />

and at The Athlete’s Foot<br />

Northlands and Riccarton<br />

•Standard entry can be<br />

purchased until <strong>March</strong><br />

24 for $25. Late entry on<br />

the day, <strong>March</strong> 24, will be<br />

$30. Children aged 10 and<br />

under are free<br />

has rolled her ankle and Mrs<br />

Clements will be running the<br />

event solo for the first time.<br />

“I’ll be on my own but that<br />

doesn’t matter because it’s so well<br />

set up you don’t really care, you<br />

just run.<br />

“I haven’t stopped [training]<br />

all year but I probably stepped<br />

up distances in the last six weeks.<br />

There might have been a few 5km<br />

runs but I stepped it up to a few<br />

10km.”<br />

Nory Lansing, 28<br />

Being a personal trainer,<br />

Ms Lansing has many friends<br />

and clients taking part in the<br />

City2Surf.<br />

“I’m a runner<br />

in general, I<br />

always like a<br />

challenge in a<br />

run. Living in<br />

Christchurch,<br />

it’s part of the<br />

routine here,”<br />

she said.<br />

It’s her second<br />

time doing the City2Surf. “<br />

It was good fun [last year]<br />

Nory Lansing<br />

knowing so many runners in the<br />

field. It’s a challenging course<br />

but in saying that it’s just for<br />

yourself really, not so much a<br />

competition,” she said.<br />

“I do heaps of running with my<br />

clients so I think it’s motivating<br />

and encouraging to be on the<br />

course for them.<br />

I mention it every week<br />

in a [gym] newsletter and during<br />

my running sessions to sign<br />

up and do whatever they can,<br />

running or walking,” Ms Lansing<br />

said.<br />

CITY2SURF<br />

with Les Mills<br />

Kristyn Ferry and Simon<br />

Bradshaw<br />

Simon Bradshaw, 30<br />

Mr Bradshaw was<br />

convinced by his partner<br />

Kristyn Ferry to take part in<br />

the 14km event.<br />

“She did it last year and<br />

enjoyed it and this year she’s<br />

going to do it again. She said<br />

she’d like me to do it with her<br />

and I said why not.”<br />

“She’s doing it more for a<br />

social, keep fit aspect than it is for<br />

a competitive aspect. So I’ve got<br />

the same kind of idea to be doing<br />

it to keep fit and healthy rather<br />

than making the top 10,” he said.<br />

Mr Bradshaw trains most days.<br />

He has never entered a running<br />

event before.<br />

“I think I’ll be a bit nervous on<br />

the day [of the race]. Just nervous<br />

trying to get to the end,” Mr<br />

Bradshaw said.<br />

Seamus Tredinnick, 30<br />

Running in the 6km event, Mr<br />

Tredinnick, who is a keen sailor,<br />

will be returning<br />

to the event<br />

for the second<br />

consecutive year.<br />

“My wife [Emily]<br />

is a keen runner<br />

and has done a<br />

few marathons<br />

so she’ll be doing<br />

the 14km run,”<br />

he said.<br />

“Basically, at<br />

Seamus<br />

Tredinnick<br />

least if I sign up for an event, it<br />

gives me a bit of motivation to<br />

work towards to getting me out<br />

and running, which is probably a<br />

good thing,” Mr Tredinnick said.<br />

“When you’ve got a peg in<br />

the ground it’s easier to move<br />

towards that goal,” he said.<br />

Mr Tredinnick’s goal is to<br />

finish the event.

Retraining puts<br />

new career within<br />

easy reach<br />

‘United as one with<br />

our Muslim friends’<br />

Port Hills<br />

list MP Nuk<br />

Korako<br />

focuses on<br />

the ‘love,<br />

fellowship,<br />

and<br />

unity’ shown by New<br />

Zealanders in the face<br />

of terror<br />

I HAD originally written<br />

this article with a view to<br />

the change in season which<br />

is approaching. The events<br />

on Friday have utterly<br />

changed my view.<br />

In considering what<br />

to say to you at this time<br />

of great mourning and<br />

sorrow, I will not dwell<br />

on the small man who<br />

sought to drive division<br />

and hatred through our<br />

nation’s heart.<br />

Rather I want to focus<br />

on the extraordinary<br />

outpouring of love,<br />

fellowship and unity we<br />

have seen over the past few<br />

days.<br />

Up and down the<br />

country Kiwis of every<br />

race, creed and colour have<br />

poured out of their homes<br />

and into places of worship<br />

and places of gathering to<br />

show that the actions of<br />

one man cannot change<br />

who we are.<br />

Our fellow New Zealand<br />

Muslim community<br />

has paid a terrible price<br />

in bringing our nation<br />

together.<br />

Each and every one of us<br />

is united as one with our<br />

Muslim friends, family<br />

and community. We stand<br />

united in showing that<br />

their pain, their loss, their<br />

sacrifice will never be<br />

forgotten by any of us.<br />

This is the time when<br />

we will search our souls,<br />

seek out division and<br />

hatred and meet it head<br />

on with love, compassion,<br />

and the light of unity<br />

that defines us as New<br />

Zealanders.<br />

To the victims and the<br />

families associated with<br />

this awful day – we cannot<br />

hope to understand the<br />

devastation you face.<br />

What we can do is be<br />

here for you and work<br />

with you to ensure not<br />

only does this never<br />

happen again – but that<br />

we use this time of grief<br />

and mourning to unite<br />

more closely with you and<br />

with each other as New<br />

Zealanders united.<br />

Ma te atua e manaaki e<br />

tiaki tatou katoa.<br />

It’s never too late to completely change<br />

career, as Reece Scott has discovered.<br />

Calling time on his 17-year career in the<br />

travel industry, he’s completely changed<br />

path and is now focused on becoming<br />

a chef.<br />

“At the time I was the South<br />

Island sales manager for The Travel<br />

Corporation, which involved<br />

representing the company’s award<br />

winning travel products to travel agents<br />

and consumers throughout the South<br />

Island, from Invercargill to Nelson,”<br />

Reece says. “By then I’d been in the<br />

industry for a long time and I just felt<br />

the need to challenge myself again.”<br />

In order to forge a new career path,<br />

Reece knew he needed to retrain. “I’ve<br />

always enjoyed working with food and<br />

have had experience in the industry<br />

before so I wanted to brush up on my<br />

skills and seek employment in cookery.”<br />

Reece says he chose to study at Ara<br />

Institute of Canterbury because of its<br />

reputation as a world-class tertiary<br />

training centre. “The cookery school<br />

at Ara has a reputation for preparing<br />

students to a high standard and giving<br />

them the best skills for employment.<br />

They also have great facilities and<br />

inspiring, knowledgeable tutors.”<br />

One of those tutors is Stuart<br />

Goodall, who’s had a hand in<br />

training many students who’ve<br />

gone on to become top chefs,<br />

both here and overseas. “He really<br />

knows his stuff,” Reece says. “He<br />

bestows his knowledge to us in<br />

a very relaxed way that’s easy to<br />

understand.”<br />

While Reece undertakes his<br />

cookery course, he’s getting<br />

to put his training into<br />

practice at Ara’s on-campus<br />

restaurant, Visions. “It’s<br />

great to see how it all works,<br />

from when an order comes<br />

in right through to producing<br />

a saleable product for paying<br />

customers. It’s giving me the skills<br />

and preparation to be ready for<br />

employment.”<br />

Reece is keen to encourage others<br />

– especially those who aren’t happy<br />

in their current career - to follow<br />

his example and study towards a<br />

new career. “Definitely do it,” he<br />

says. “Retraining has prepared<br />

me really well for employment<br />

in this industry.”<br />

Celebration to send<br />

off Linwood College<br />

A CELEBRATION is<br />

planned for April 5 and<br />

6 to celebrate the past 65<br />

years of educational history<br />

of Linwood College.<br />

In mid-<strong>20</strong>19, the<br />

school’s buildings will be<br />

demolished in preparation<br />

for a full rebuild on the<br />

site. At $44 million, the<br />

rebuild budget is one of<br />

the largest of any of the<br />

Ministry of Education’s<br />

rebuild programmes since<br />

the February 22, <strong>20</strong>11,<br />

earthquake.<br />

Students enrolled at the<br />

school will be relocated<br />

to the former Avonside<br />

Girls’ High site for the full<br />

duration of the rebuild.<br />

When news of the<br />

rebuild was released,<br />

approaches were made<br />

to the school for an<br />

opportunity to celebrate<br />

its past.<br />

At the time it was built<br />

in 1954, Linwood High<br />

was the first post-war, coeducational<br />

school to open<br />

in New Zealand.<br />

While the school looked<br />

more like a building<br />

site than an educational<br />

campus on its opening<br />

day, the community soon<br />

proudly rallied around<br />

its new high school and<br />

ensured it had resources<br />

equivalent to any existing<br />

school in the city.<br />

To mark the demolition<br />

of the buildings, a ticketed<br />

Conversazione event will<br />

be hosted on April 5 and a<br />

free open day on April 6.<br />

The event will end with a<br />

farewell ceremony at 3pm.<br />

This event will be open to<br />

anyone in the community<br />

to attend.<br />

Past students from all<br />

over New Zealand and<br />

Australia have bought<br />

tickets to attend the<br />

farewell, says organising<br />

committee chairwoman<br />

Linda Rutland.<br />

“People have a real<br />

attachment to their old<br />

school with the original<br />

1954s remaining a very<br />

tight-knit group.”<br />

Our People<br />

Rose Lindley<br />

Returning to nursing to work in Africa<br />

After 47 years as a<br />

nurse, Mt Pleasant’s<br />

Rose Lindley wanted to<br />

get involved in aid work.<br />

So she spent three weeks<br />

on a mercy ship in Guinea,<br />

West Africa. Sophie<br />

Cornish talks to her about<br />

the experience<br />

Tell me about your trip on the<br />

mercy ship?<br />

I worked as a recovery nurse,<br />

looking after people after they<br />

have had surgery. I have done<br />

that for more than <strong>20</strong> years in<br />

Christchurch. It took more than<br />

40 hours to get to Conakry, the<br />

capital of Guinea in West Africa,<br />

and more than 40 hour to get<br />

home – it was hideous. The<br />

mercy ship organisation is more<br />

than 30-years-old. Basically it<br />

is a Christian ship – it is run on<br />

Christian principles. You don’t<br />

have to be a Christian to work on<br />

it. You are treated regardless of<br />

your race or religion; there are no<br />

barriers. They treat everything.<br />

They go up the coast of Africa.<br />

The countries of West Africa<br />

invite them to come because they<br />

can’t provide surgeries for people.<br />

Even if they did, the people<br />

couldn’t afford to pay for it. So<br />

mercy ships provide free medical<br />

and surgical care for these<br />

patients. People come to the ship<br />

at the beginning of its time in the<br />

country and they are assessed for<br />

suitability of surgery. Some people<br />

they say yes to, some people<br />

they can’t treat and have to go<br />

home to die. There is a palliative<br />

care team that follows them up.<br />

Not everyone can be treated, but<br />

they treat as many as they can.<br />

They spend 11 months in every<br />

port. Sometimes they take people<br />

in at the beginning of their time<br />

there, then they go away and<br />

come back and have follow-up<br />

surgery. It is funded by donations<br />

from big corporations in<br />

America. A lot of pharmaceutical<br />

companies provide resources. All<br />

the people on it work for free and<br />

pay for everything.<br />

So how does it all work with<br />

the staff?<br />

You pay for your airfares,<br />

vaccinations and a monthly crew<br />

to live on the ship, nothing is<br />

free for staff. I was on it for three<br />

weeks. Some people are on it for<br />

two weeks and the longest person<br />

has been on it for 30 years. He<br />

brought up his whole family<br />

on the ship – there is a really<br />

good school on it. The thing I<br />

always say about the ship is that<br />

it should never work, but it does.<br />

We have 400 people, plus <strong>20</strong>0 day<br />

crew, living on a ship together.<br />

There is something like 30 or 40<br />

nationalities working together<br />

and it’s the happiest environment<br />

I have ever worked in. It was<br />

brilliant, it was amazing. You<br />

could be working with someone<br />

from Australia, the Netherlands<br />

or Germany, but English is the<br />

spoken language. They have<br />

interpreters throughout the place.<br />

From September last year to<br />

when I was there, they had 214<br />

staff through the theatre block.<br />

A lot of the staff go back again.<br />

For me, I wish I did it when I<br />

was in my <strong>20</strong>s. I would have gone<br />

back, but it’s a bit late now, it is a<br />

long journey to travel. There are<br />

a lot of jobs I could do. There is<br />

a place called the hope centre,<br />

where people stay until their next<br />

surgery. There are a lot of jobs –<br />

plumbers, electricians, every job<br />

you could think of, it’s like a wee<br />

town.<br />

Was everything as you<br />

expected it to be?<br />

I watched the videos online<br />

and it was what I expected,<br />

but the atmosphere was way<br />

more amazing than I ever<br />

anticipated. It was beautiful.<br />

The conditions we saw on the<br />

ship, we would never see in<br />

New Zealand, because we have<br />

free medical care here. There is<br />

a huge stigma about disability<br />

there, it is considered a curse.<br />

These people are ostracised from<br />

their communities because they<br />

are disfigured, so they come to<br />

the ship. No one on the ship is<br />

revolted by what they look like,<br />

we know they need help. So they<br />

immediately feel they are loved<br />

and not ostracised. When people<br />

feel they are loved and not being<br />

told they are different, there<br />

is hope. The extremity of the<br />

disability was way more than you<br />

would ever see in New Zealand.<br />

There were children born with<br />

cataracts, no one in New Zealand<br />

is born with cataracts. It’s to do<br />

with malnutrition and disease<br />

with the mothers. There were<br />

goiters (when the thyroid gland<br />

becomes enlarged). The biggest<br />

one they removed when I was<br />

there was 1.6kg. Nothing is<br />

treated at an early phase, there is<br />

no early treatment. These people<br />

live on less than $2 a day. Things<br />

are cheap there, but if you don’t<br />

have an income, it is still not<br />

enough.<br />

Did you ever feel unsafe there?<br />

Conakry is certainly not on<br />

the tourist destination route. It’s<br />

so poor. Most western tourists<br />

like a little bit of comfort; they<br />

like to see giraffes and elephants.<br />

The infrastructure is pretty<br />

limited there. At the moment,<br />

it’s reasonably politically stable. I<br />

think the ship was in Cameroon<br />

last and that’s really unstable<br />

at the moment. They have this<br />

awful, unstable political situation<br />

in most of these countries. I<br />

never felt unsafe, though, not<br />

once. They really love the mercy<br />

ships, they are French-speaking<br />

so they would say ‘merci.’ We<br />

weren’t allowed to go into<br />

town by ourselves, they didn’t<br />

recommend it. To be honest, it is<br />

all pretty unsafe, poverty drives<br />

people to it.<br />

Tell me about your 47 years in<br />

nursing?<br />

I trained in Christchurch. I<br />

went down the surgical route of<br />

nursing. I have always wanted to<br />

do aid work, but when you have<br />

a husband, children, a mortgage,<br />

all that sort of thing, it makes it<br />

harder. I did some private work,<br />

but I mainly worked at Christchurch<br />

Hospital, working in the<br />

Intensive Recovery Unit and<br />

in recovery for 14 years. I have<br />

been overseas and worked in the<br />

outback of Australia. You might<br />

think I have an obsession with<br />

indigenous people, and I have, I<br />

love them. I worked in this place<br />

called Halls Creek, way up in<br />

Kimberley in Western Australia.<br />

Our People<br />

From nursing to small business owner<br />

•From page 17<br />

I was a nurse in a hospital there<br />

for five months.<br />

What was the difference<br />

between your time as a nurse in<br />

New Zealand and on the ship?<br />

We are very privileged in New<br />

Zealand. We have a really good<br />

health system. I have seen some<br />

of the most appalling behaviour<br />

from adults in the medical<br />

profession. But on the ship, I<br />

have never seen such humility<br />

among the staff. That’s what we<br />

are all about – we are here for<br />

the patients, not our own egos.<br />

There is so much money involved<br />

in medicine. There is medical<br />

insurance, hospitals, private<br />

hospitals – such vast quantities of<br />

money. Over there, there isn’t any<br />

money involved, everyone works<br />

for free. We are all there for the<br />

patients. The guy that has been<br />

there for 30 years, Gary Parker,<br />

he is amazing. He puts people’s<br />

faces back together in five or six<br />

hours. He does the most amazing<br />

surgeries. The sort of surgery<br />

he’s doing, he would be a multimillionaire<br />

in America, but he is<br />

sponsored to work on the ship.<br />

What were some of the most<br />

significant moments for you on<br />

the ship?<br />

Watching the children having<br />

their bandages taken off and they<br />

can see for the first time in their<br />

lives. I cry, I’m such a big baby. It<br />

just gets me, because of what you<br />

know, that these people’s lives are<br />

changed forever.<br />

The stuff they are doing is just<br />

basic stuff so the people can have<br />

a decent life. I went down to the<br />

Ponseti clinic one day, that is<br />

where they treat clubbed feet. The<br />

patient’s feet are rotated inwards,<br />

they just don’t function. So they<br />

do a simple treatment over a<br />

course of weeks and months and<br />

the kids can walk again normally.<br />

It’s incredible. The surgery they<br />

do is always life-changing. In<br />

their notes, they have a picture<br />

of what they looked like when<br />

they came in beforehand. We<br />

would always look at the pictures<br />

and 99 per cent of the time we<br />

were saying ‘oh my goodness.’<br />

We would ask if they want to see<br />

a mirror and some would say,<br />

yes, and some would say, no, and<br />

sometimes they would get the<br />

mirror and just be beaming. It<br />

was just amazing.<br />

Tell me a little about the<br />

business you are running now?<br />

I love markets, I’m a foodie. So<br />

SNACKS: Rose<br />

Lindley runs<br />

her healthy<br />

food business,<br />

Mumma Bear,<br />

out of a shop<br />

in Mt Pleasant.<br />

I started my own wee business. I<br />

used to write recipes for a health<br />

and fitness website. I started<br />

with two products, I am now at<br />

16 products. I used to go out to<br />

a commercial kitchen at Lincoln<br />

to make it all. Then two years<br />

ago, the wee shop at the bottom<br />

of the hill came up, so we rented<br />

it. That’s what I want to do<br />

now, make healthy muesli and<br />

porridges and crackers and bars.<br />

My husband is retired and he was<br />

a food scientist, so he does all<br />

my nutritional stuff. I like selling<br />

good, healthy food. It’s called<br />

Mumma Bear – food as it should<br />

be. I got the name because my<br />

kids call me Mumma Bear.<br />

I woke up one morning thinking<br />

that’s what it should be called.<br />

I get really grumpy with food<br />

in the supermarkets because<br />

you don’t know what you are<br />

eating. They don’t know what the<br />

heck it is. I am really honest with<br />

my stuff, what is on the back<br />

is what is in it. As of next<br />

month, we will be selling<br />

ingredients from the shop, as<br />

long as they bring their own<br />

containers.<br />

Tell me about your family?<br />

We have been here in Mt<br />

Pleasant for 32 years. We built<br />

our house and we have lived in<br />

this area all our married life.<br />

We have two children, Grace<br />

and David. Grace is a speech<br />

language therapist in Paris. She<br />

has been there for nine years.<br />

David has got a finance degree<br />

and works for company called<br />

Compass in Tampa, Florida.<br />

He is shifting up to Chicago to<br />

October. They are there with<br />

their boyfriends and girlfriends.<br />

I don’t have any grandchildren<br />

yet, but I want them back here if<br />

they do have grandchildren. My<br />

husband Tim is on the Linwood-<br />

Central-Heathcote Community<br />

Board, he loves it and is really<br />

good at it.

3-4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1-2 living rooms | Listing number: 8668<br />

An interesting quirky Stewart Ross<br />

architecturally designed home tucked away<br />

on a very sheltered, sunny 997m2 section.<br />

Spacious open-plan living opening onto<br />

a large North facing deck, perfect to take in<br />

the excellent <strong>Harbour</strong> views.<br />

With 3/4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms<br />

and one or two living areas depending on<br />

how you configure the house.<br />

Set down a private lane with off-street<br />

parking, the rambling section is well<br />

established with lots of potential to enhance<br />

and improve.<br />

The house is well built but in need of a<br />

little cosmetic TLC and is very realistically<br />

priced well below the current RV.<br />

Only 30 minutes scenic drive from the<br />

bottom of Colombo Street. Local amenities<br />

are many and varied to indulge in and in<br />

the pipeline is a cinema, supermarket and<br />

additional shops, as well as the development<br />

of Te Ana Marina at Lyttelton stage 1 now<br />

complete. The local school and Kidsfirst<br />
